doughboys / Chew Year's Feedbag!

Hey Doughboys and Emma (RIP YUSONG), Wondering if there are any fringe holiday traditions that you are a part of with friends and family. Maybe something that you hope catches on a bit more and became common practice. My lovely wife's family exchanges scratch lottery tickets around the holidays which is something my family and I never did while growing up, and I absolutely love doing it. Thanks for all the laughs and entertainment! - Jon

Dearest Doughboys family! NYE is a time to reflect on the past year and look towards the future. What’s a “new food” you indulged in 2019 and a “new food” you would like to try in 2020? (🥄 Mitch, hot salad 🔥🥗 ? 🍔 Nick, oven fries 🍟?) Happy holi-doughs! Merry Christmas to all, and to all a dough-night!

Why do the Doughboys not release episodes in order that they are recorded in? That's always made me curious. Is that a creative decision. Or more on the technical side? :) - Thanks for reading. Much love to my two favorite dudes.

Dear Doughboys, imagine if one of you suddenly dropped dead from either a heart attack or like a food borne illness. The takes would be so bad (“they knew what they were getting themselves into, eating fast food,”). This isn’t a question but it seems so palpable and so much like a real possibility that you should probably end the podcast to prevent it from happening, honestly.

Do you ever have a weird amount of salsa and not a lot of full chips so you pour the salsa into the chips and take a spoon to eat it like it’s spicy cereal? Asking for a friend. Somewhat of a heat seeker

Hey Doughpersons, In your last episode, your love of tates cookies was exciting, theyre my favorite cookie too! I like to crumble them up into my yogurt as dessert, usually an Icelandic vanilla ‘gurt and some raspberries. I’ve recently started fooling myself to believe this is my new healthy snack! Speaking of snacks, my question for you... What is your favorite homemade “healthy” snack? P.S. Is spinach dip technically hot salad with extra cheese? Xoxo, J

What do you say when you see a Volkswagen bug? I grew up in New England and have Always said punch buggy, since I moved to the PNW everyone says slug bug!

Hey pimps! How’s it hanging? Any chance we could get a audio or video tour of the infamous “recording table” and all of the tchotchkes on it?

Hi Mitch! Hi Wigey! And to Emma, Yusong and the cats as well! Long time, first time. In regards to New Years party foods, my friends and I went to a party one year where the host got pizza and, without telling anyone, kept it "toasting" in the oven so it never cooled down. The pizza subsequently burned and started to smoke - causing a panic of molten pizza fumes at the party. My question : What are your worst New Year's eve experiences, food or otherwise?

My birthday is on New Years Eve. When people hear this, they respond the same way every time—“Wow! The whole world is partying on your birthday! That must be the best!” Let me tell you, it’s not. Every year people are unavailable, completely wasted, or totally forget it’s my birthday. In fact, for my 12th birthday, I planned a party on New Year’s Eve with a few girls from school. I sent out invitations, decorated the house, baked a cake with my mom—the whole shebang. Each of the girls said they could come. Then, every single one of them cancelled when the most popular kid in school invited them to his NYE party last minute. So, I want to know—am I the only one getting dissed on NYE? What was the hardest rejection you’ve had to take on what’s supposed to be the biggest party day of the year?

Hey Doughboys! Growing up in a Filipino household, New Years has always been the holiday that we celebrated the hardest. With it came many superstitions, like keeping coins or money in your pockets to ensure wealth in the new year or jumping vigorously at midnight to help kids grow in the year. Did your families have any New Years superstitions? Thanks! PS -- I live on Guam and you boys would love it here. Marijuana just got decriminalized and lots of beach activities for the SoCal surfer dude, meanwhile its tropical and everyone and everything lives a slower pace of life like Mitch.

Good question!

As someone who is off the sauce this year, I won’t be joining friends at the over-crowded bar as usual. Instead, I’ll be picking up a shift at the restaurant for extra cash. By the time I get home I’ll be too exhausted to do anything other than eat and watch TV. What is the perfect fast food meal I can get on my way home and the best movie or tv show I can watch to ring in the new year? (I do pass a Wendy’s on the way home) I love you guys, you make me laugh every week during the stress of school and work. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!

What crowd pleasing dish would you bring to a new years potluck? (You can omit the new years and it would be the same question but i need my answers now!) Also actually new years related, what beverage will you ring in the new year with? P.s vancouver aint all bad!! Spoon Nation

2019-12-07 06:03:08 +0000 UTC

What's your favorite example of a new restaurant/business going into an old restaurants recognizable building? For example there is a Pho restaurant in an old taco Bell in Columbus OH that's called 6-1-pho (area code there is 614) and it is unmistakably a taco Bell with different colors. They kept the counter, tables, and drive thru the same. I love it.

Have any of you ever kissed a stranger at midnight on NYE? If so, how'd it happen. If not, then how come? Do you have any memorable New Year's kisses? And Wiger, if you could kiss any hunk at the stroke of midnight, who would it be (assuming your lovely wife, Natalie is okay with it--which I bet she would be).

Kent McKee

2019-12-06 19:53:44 +0000 UTC

In "Auld Lang Syne" there is the lyric "we'll take a Cup of Kindness yet." What beverage would you take as your Cup of Kindness to commemorate the year behind you?

Boys, the decade isnt ending this year. The explanation makes this very simple concept seem complex, but suffice it to say that there is no year 0, so decades change at the end of the 10th year, not the 9th (1-10, 11-20, 21-30, etc.). My fiance has already banned me from talking about this during the holidays because she thinks im being an erudite asshat. Is there a way that i can spread this message at a NYE party without seeming like a pedant? Have there been any times where youre with a group who believe in something that you know is flat wrong?

What's the best strategy for New Year's Eve when it comes to both food and adult beverage intake in order to make it to midnight without either being shit-faced or falling asleep?

Ryan Henry

2019-12-06 15:06:42 +0000 UTC

Hey doughboys. I was relistening to the Mac-To-Fight episode and got a craving for a big mac... a sandwich that I haven't had for over a decade. And I've had one for the last 5 days. My question is, is there anything that you got a taste for and ate there too frequently in too short of a time frame. Love the show and cant wait to see you guys in detroit soon. Bug Army. Buzz Buzz.

Kate Agnelli

2019-12-06 14:48:28 +0000 UTC

How do you like the Mandalorian?! I think it is better than every new Star Wars movie! 7-8, Rogue One, and Solo are nothing compared to it.

On December 31st, 1999 at 11:59 PM I was in a basement of a Lutheran church in a prayer circle with 10 other chubby boys, I suppose praying that Y2K and the rapture didn't occur. I was not there by choice. Where were you all on that fateful NYE? High fives from Minneapolis!

Stew D. Jenkins

2019-12-06 13:25:43 +0000 UTC

Do you have any foods or traditions that you associate with childhood New Year’s Eve? Growing up my mom would always prepare a ton of hors d’oeuvres, my favorite being a Velveeta/Rotel/sausage dip. This year my wife and I will be carrying on the tradition by making a bunch of unhealthy snacks to ring in 2020 with our son. Cheers and thanks for all the hours of entertainment!

Sean Hopkins

2019-12-06 11:17:53 +0000 UTC

I honestly believe the egg sandwich is a perfect food; so may iterations of egg, cheese, protein, bread and then also maybe veggies and condiments?! My question is, what is your perfect egg sandwich???

Hi Doughboys and Yusong and Emma! Here’s my question: which chain restaurant desperately needs to make a New Years resolution and what should it be? My first thought was McDonald’s needs to resolve to get their ice cream machines to function for more than thirty minutes a day. Any chains you can think of with glaring issues to be resolved? Happy New Year from Minnesota!

Jessica Anderson

2019-12-06 03:47:06 +0000 UTC

Hi! It’s not holiday related, but I need to know: I’m watching The Mandalorian, and in a scene in the first episode it looks as though Salacious Crumb’s species, the Kowakian monkey-lizard, is being roasted and sold as street food. What Star Wars creature would YOU eat, and what do you think they taste like? Love you! xoxo

Arielle Smith

2019-12-06 03:26:13 +0000 UTC

Sup Doughcrew. I need to know, what is the first thing you eat or drink in 2020 going to be? And, is there any food or resturant you resolve to NOT eat or eat at in the New Year? Hope your balls drop!

Chris Dynes

2019-12-06 03:22:51 +0000 UTC

You have to kiss someone at midnight. Wiger: Kareem Abdul Jabar or Your Lovely Wife? Mitch Bug Mane or Wiger?

Hi Doughboys--I've noticed that holiday/Christmas punches are becoming quite popular. Do y'all have any memories of imbibing a holiday punch? What are your thoughts on a big punch bowl? Thanks!

Brandon Fris

2019-12-06 02:34:59 +0000 UTC

You get to eat a meal with one of the following characters. McDonalds with Batman, Dominos with the Ninja Turtles or Taco Bell with John Spartan from Demolition Man. Who would you choose and why?

Alexander Adrock

2019-12-06 02:33:23 +0000 UTC

Hi Wigey, Mitchie, Emma, and Yusong. Happy holidays to you all. My question is if any of you have a go to meal for New year's day after a long night of drinking and partying. If so, what is it and is it absolutely unhealthy? Thanks everyone and you're all the best.

Chris Caroselli

2019-12-06 02:32:21 +0000 UTC

What food chain do you feel had the best run in the last ten years? For instance, seeing Domino's admit it needed to up its game in 2010. Alternatively, which food trend do you think defines the 2010s?

Euan

2019-12-06 02:23:52 +0000 UTC

Do you place any weight or gravity on your first meal of the new year?

Sam Wotherspoon

2019-12-06 02:21:31 +0000 UTC

Given that New Year's often involves drinking to excess, which often leads to puking, which food type would be the least offensive going down AND coming back up?

Kyle

2019-12-06 02:16:35 +0000 UTC

Best beverage for New Year's? Alcoholic or Non-Alcoholic?

Zeke Gonzalez

Doughboys, my mom always told me if you eat chicken on new year’s day, you’ll be “pecking for money” the rest of the year. After 29 years I still don’t eat chicken on new year’s day. Any superstitions that you follow going into a new year? Your guy, Dan.

Dan Cigrang

2019-12-06 02:09:21 +0000 UTC

Hey Doughboys, LTFT. To what extent should NYE just be explicitly avoided as a train wreck amateur night and if so, what is the appropriate home delivery order. Love from Toronto! Come up here and party although I know Nicholas won’t.

Sander Trestain

2019-12-06 02:03:55 +0000 UTC

Do you have any New Years' eve/day food traditions? Assuming I've been in the area, for the past 15 years I've joined the far larger than usual mob at Lucky Boy for a breakfast burrito to appease my hangover in the morning. (Also hope my packages made it to the PO Box - I lost the receipt with the tracking info and have been wracked by uncertainty since! Also realized among all the contents there was no question so this is it!)

donutwolf

2019-12-06 02:00:04 +0000 UTC

Hey Doughboys and extended Doughfam in on the record this day, what is the New Year resolution you stuck to the longest and what helped you stick to it? Doesn't have to be fitness or health related, I made it a goal to write something new once a week and lasted for about 8 months which I think is pretty good.

Aidan Martin

2019-12-06 01:40:23 +0000 UTC

The boyf and I are hosting a New Year's party. One of our friends is a vegetarian. What are your fave vegetarian appetizer options besides the obvious hummus or veggies and dip?

Kristen Sidebottom

2019-12-06 01:31:41 +0000 UTC

There have been several “Best of the Decade” lists coming out recently for books, movies, tv shows, and music, but I was wondering what your “Best of The Decade” chain restaurants are? Or phrased slightly less confusing, what are your favorite chain restaurants that debuted in the last 10 years?

Alex Anderson

2019-12-06 01:21:21 +0000 UTC

What is your favorite healthy food chain? And specifically, Salads? (Just salad, sweet green, mendecino farms, tender greens, simply salad).... PS- Wiger- I met you at mendecino farms in Santa Monica a few months ago and you were very nice to shake my hand and ask me my name even though I know you hate interactions and eye contact. Thanks and know that you have earned my patreon dollars fair and square through that kindness.

I'm a Canadian who lives in Australia and I don't feel much holiday cheer right now because it's blazing hot all the time. We're probably going to have a picnic for Christmas, and surely we'll throw some shrimps on the barbie. What kinds of Christmassy/NYE foods do you guys think would work in hot weather?

John Wisneski

2019-12-06 01:03:16 +0000 UTC

Mitch, I would like to know if your old taco-bell beef (pun intended) with Chris Pratt ever came up on set? If not, how do you look back on your previous food-related encounter with the man, and what is your current relationship like? Any chance we ever see him on Doughboys? :D

Chris Bluethgen

For Mitch and Emma (or anyone who's been bi-coastal on NYE: I grew up in Philly but have lived in LA for a while now and still can't get used to being three hours late to the ball dropping every year. Which is the best time zone for ringing in the new year?

One year we were hosting NYE. I got drunk and at midnight went around and kissed everyone at the party. I regretted it the next day when I got sick. While partying, what have you done that sounded like a good idea at the time but you regretted the next day?

jacob s gorman

2019-12-06 00:58:40 +0000 UTC

Hey Doughboys and Emma - at parties when they’re is a veggie dip tray I always go hard on the broccoli but rarely have raw broccoli any other time. Weird. Anyway can you rank best to worst veggie tray options (broccoli, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes, etc.) thanks!

Doctor Remulak

2019-12-06 00:58:32 +0000 UTC

What typical New Year's Eve party foods make the best leftovers on New Year's Day? Bonus points if they have been left out all night because you passed out.

Steven Spriensma

2019-12-06 00:58:31 +0000 UTC

Off theme, but this is a question that I confused my friends with who do not listen to Doughboys but I think its pretty straightforward. What is your Mt Rushmore of root vegetables? Anything from carrots to ginger to all the tubers, it's a hell of a category with lots of strong contenders.

Sam

2019-12-06 00:58:17 +0000 UTC

What's the best food to consume before a night of heavy drinking? I tend to eat light before parties, as I have a high alcohol tolerance.

ElegantWeapon

2019-12-06 00:57:48 +0000 UTC

I’ll start by also asking, “where is Yusong?!”... But, New Years Eves party snacks do’s and don’ts? you don’t want nasty ass-breath for that midnight smooch!

Adam Westervelt

2019-12-06 00:57:34 +0000 UTC

For the past 5 years or so my wife and I have made a tradition of going to see a movie and then go to whatever mediocre chain restaurant we received a gift card for Christmas for New Years. Last year it was chili’s. Since this year marks a new decade, What is your ideal “last chain restaurant meal” of the decade?

Jim Kelly

2019-12-06 00:57:26 +0000 UTC

Best hangover food? My answer to everything is taco bell
