The fruit of this towering tree native to the banks of the Amazon has been a staple of the diet of South American peoples for centuries. And in recent decades, north of South America and North America, the assai berry has become a delicacy

slash miracle cure and wellness slash fitness food culture. Instagrammed by influencers with gluten free diets and ample glutes in snack, smoothie and bowl form. Its popularity is such that two of the most prominent chain juiceries in America, Jamba and Prest, see eye to assai in their menu offerings. In the past decade, as carbs became criminal and calorie conscious consumers pivoted from sugary blended juices to chewable whole fruit presentations. These fruit forward restaurants followed suit. Both Jamba juice and Prest Juicery dropped the juice from their branding like Hertz Renekar. Today, bowls represent a substantial portion of their marketing and menus. So with this new emphasis on shorter squatter cardboard containers over

taller thinner plastic ones, which mushy meal outlet does the yoga pants set call bowl goals? Which of these breakfast berry based bowl brokers blends best? This week on dough boys, the third quarter pounder final matchup of munch madness 2023, the tournament of champions bowl assai region, Jamba versus Prest. Welcome to dough boys, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Nick Weiger along with my co-host Tragic Mike's Last Pants starring Channing Potatum and Salmonella Hayek, the Spoon Man Mike Mitchell, a reference to when Mitch only brought one pair of pants onto her insane thing you did from Andy P and Lincoln Nebraska shout out Bob Lee and Wes.

More like boar Vidal, like the boring ass roast. Gore Vidal wrote these famously compelling tomes. They were lengthy, but they held your interest. Not boring. This was more like boar Vidal because it was long and boring. How about boar at Vidal? That'd be fun. I have written an extensive book about my wife. I like that. I think you'll find my discourse on the subject to be nice. Very nice. I think he says very nice and nice. Okay. I think they both work.

They made up their minds and they started snacking. That was the parody song I was going to sing you. So that's a little bit of a left turn from Gore Vidal, which I thought you might have been riffing on with the song from boar at Vidal. I told you off top. I know, but I just like I was not ready for it. You said you had a new personal. Do you think I know shit about Gore Vidal? I mean, I know who he is, but I couldn't tell you anything about a Myra Breckenridge, which I just looked up. He didn't write a book about Lincoln, which is nice. Tell you more about Al Gore Vidal. How about you do that?

I think they're related. Well, no, that's a boar ad. That's the boar ad aspect. You took boar ad out. You made Al Gore Vidal. This is like, that would be like a, you know, he's got a book about the environment or something. CO2 emissions are going down. Very nice. Mitch's famous character, Al Gore Vidal. I hereby concede the election to George W. Bush and his wife. What's up with these dusty ass grapes we got here? You notice this? Dusty ass grapes doing their fucking, what's that all about? Dusty ass grapes to make it look like we eat the grapes. The dope boys don't eat the fucking fruits and vegetables. Yeah, we do.

Fucking shame us with dusty grapes. Wigs? Yeah. This is big. This is pig podcast. Pig. This is big podcast news, not pig podcast news. Though we should do that. I walked to work today. I thought we're going to do more about the grapes. Hopping from topic to topic. The grapes are reminding me that I'm eating healthy. I'm on. Oh, got it. Which we should bleep that because they might, they could be a sponsor if we wanted, they said. Wait, really? Yeah, we could get sponsored by. They should sponsor us. Yeah, I know. All right, let's make that happen. We're both doing this thing. We're both doing

this thing on our own. We're both paying out of pocket. But I walked to work today. I know. And I did have to take an Uber for about a mile. That's okay. That's progress, not perfection. That's from the app. We aren't saying. Yeah, all right. We can riff more on the dusty ass grapes. They're dusty. Just like dusty grapes. Or Marina John Steinbeck novel. What's going on? The Dust Bowl and Grapes of Wrath, obviously. I knew Grapes of Wrath. And I knew the Dust Bowl. But I don't get what's, there's some, are those baby grapes? What are the small ones? I guess it's baby grapes. Yeah, I think they're baby grapes. But what would that, I guess my question is, is like, would that be,

is the idea that people would like feast on these grapes? I'm not sure. I'm also not even sure if the grapes are in frame. So for people watching on the YouTube, if they are, they aren't. Okay, Casey, our studio engineers confirming us. I kind of don't like that they're in frame, but now they get it at least. They're in frame. And also the, they're all fake. They're all fake grapes. Well, Casey, we're going to eat the dusty grapes. That's why they put a layer of dust on them. That's Doe Boyzer probably. And I see food. They're going to fucking eat it. You think fucking a layer of dust has stopped us before? What else did I have to say? They made up their mind. They started snacking. I had that parody

song. Yeah, you said it was really good and it was. It is really good. Oh, the Super Bowl is now, I mean, this is now like very much in the- It's so dated. We're in midst of lunch. You're going to be talking Super Bowl now. I know, I know, but I still got to, I still got to talk about it because Quincy's greatest son, oh shit, I'm trying to get his name. I can't get it. This is falling apart. You have to talk about this. I have to talk about it because it is, it does, okay. Quincy's son, Joe Cullen, my godfather son, Neil Kiley told me about this, Joe Cullen, he just won a Super Bowl championship with the Kansas City Chiefs last month,

and he's from Quincy, Massachusetts, from Germantown. Very cool. Famously known for driving through the Wendy's drive through naked and completely, I think, fucked up. After the win, like in celebration? Not after the win. Oh, just in general. That's just a Quincy-like story. Yeah, he told me, he was like, have you heard of Joe Cullen? And I was like, no. And he's like, he's this guy who drove through a Wendy's drive through buck naked, completely naked. And he says he doesn't remember it. That's wild. And then he's like, guess where he's from? He's from Quincy. Wow. So, you know, we should have a little segment where I talk about Quincy, a Quincy person of note every

so often. You dish on Quincy, little gossip girl, hush-hush. Well, that's not, I mean, people know it. Kind of gossipy. It's good, though. Congratulations, Joe Cullen. Congratulations, Quincy's own. I also like that the takeaway from that there is that Quincy has an ethnic neighborhood called Germantown. It's right next to Hausnack. You go off to Hausnack or Germantown. Right. Yes. And yeah, I also want to give a shout out to John Adams. Congratulations on the presidency. Congrats, John Adams. The second president ever, Wigs. Yeah, we know. I know. That's great. We're just saying presidential facts now. I'm just going to say there's going to be a Quincy corner where I highlight things like these.

Okay, great. You know, two presidents from California, Ronald Reagan, not a fan, but Richard Nixon. Those are the only two from California? Yeah, maybe three soon if Gavin Newsom or Kamala Harris is able to help. President Newsom. Isn't that wild to think about? Man. Yeah. That would be, I mean, better than our other options, I guess. Well, you don't want to get political. No, I mean, it's fine. I was trying to think of some Richard Nixon thing. I just wasn't surfacing. That's not my wife. I am not my wife. We should introduce that. I resign from my marriage effective at noon tomorrow. Checkers is my dog. We're eating shit. We should introduce our guests. Yeah, this is really bad. This is really bad. You have a Quincy corner was a good idea. I think

it was a good idea. I just was thrown because you had so many ideas you were throwing out. I know the dusty grapes we got all over the place. Anyways, I've been hitting with a drop. Sorry, this took so long, which you just did. This is bad. So bad. I like that one. That was great. I think it is poking in front of the fact that I can't say hot dog. I just said it hot dog, hot dog, hot dog. But it was good linguistics is descriptive, not prescriptive. It's okay. There's not like a right way to say things. The fuck are you talking about? Linguistics is descriptive, not prescriptive. It's not like a correct way to say things. There's just you could just do the field of social science just studies how people say things.

Some people say dog. Yeah, shut the fuck up. We should know for people not watching the video feed. So our guests, we have a fantastic guest. We're taking too much time to say, but normally when we're in studio, our guest sits between Mitch and me. That's right. So there's no guest in studio. So that seat is was available. And I told Mitch before recorded, Hey, Mitch, you can scoot over a seat if you want. And you said no. That's right. You want to leave an empty chair between us. I like the space. Okay. Also I'm in sweats. I walked here. I'm in sweat. I don't think I stink. No, I don't know. I'm just there's no excuse. I just don't want to sit close to you. Hey, all imposter dano from the discord here. Wow. Here's another dumb and stupid drop for you.

Okay, bye. It wasn't dumb. It was good. Also shout out. We mentioned the discord. I should shout out stinky in the dose scored was a linguist and he told me linguistics is descriptive, not prescriptive. Okay, I got I got some news for stinky. Shut the fuck up. Stinky. I just like fucking busted in his pants. Oh, yeah. That's what I wanted. Five years list of this podcast to finally happen. Seaman originated in early Rome. Shut up. I'm saying he busts and then he thinks about the yeah, I know. Yeah. Um, Neil Kiley owner of the fat cat also told me I told you I can't say the idea but he had a great food idea. It's this is a showstopper. Yeah, this food idea. I want to tell our guest,

but maybe we can believe it or maybe I'll tell him after the pod. Yeah, we'll figure out a solution. I mean, is it okay if I cut out a second of it? Yeah, of course. Okay, all right. Let's introduce our guest. Okay, great. Returning to the show. A new friend I'd say Mitch came on last last year. People have, you know what? Mars Melnick, who is from a head gum zone, has been up in Canada for basically since the pandemic is in LA right now. We saw her IRL and you know what she brought up. Mars was like, if Joe Biden wins, I'm moving to Canada if I remember correctly. That's what it was. She got a little ahead of it, but yeah, that's how she ended up up there. But she brought up this the, she brought up this guest and this episode. So that was one of the best podcast episodes last

year period. Wow, we love Mars. It was good to see her. Very lovely to see her. Hey, usually to see Mars, you need a telescope. We saw her in studio. There was no rover rolling around here. There's no Mars Odyssey in orbit. Just saw her in person. What is the car? Well, let's get our guest. I'll ask our guest this. It's going so bad. From Severance and Great American Baking Show on the Roku Channel, Zach Cherry is back. Hi, Zach. Hi. Can I do a Joe Biden remix of the drop? Yeah, sure, please. So instead of saying hot dog, he would say, my wife, my wife, my wife, my wife, my doctor wife, my doctor wife, my doctor wife. She is a doctor. Dr. Jill. Dr. Jill.

It was good. Yeah, that's, that was good. We needed this. We needed to have, we shouldn't have waited 13 full minutes before we had you in. Yeah, I wasn't sure because the drop was, in real time, it was about 28 minutes ago. So I wasn't sure about the work, but I'm going to just cut this down to the best stuff. So Zach, my question that I was going to ask, why is I'll ask you instead, are there any rovers alive on Mars right now? That's my question. Is there any, is there a rover that's still, because you know how they die? Yeah. Glad you brought me in for this. I have no idea. I don't know.

Well, you know that there's, there's like, they'll be like, like some Mars rovers, like it's, it's last, like it's dying alone on Mars. Yeah. And it's kind of sad. You just see this little robot die up there. Yeah. Speaking of rovers dying in space, reminds me of the Soviet space program. It sent a, it sent a dog up there and they fucking, they die in orbit. Don't, you don't have to bring that up. They'd cook to death from the sun's heat. Jesus Christ. And so they get just like enough, like, you know, they, oh, they, they were up there. They, they, you know, respirated. They didn't like implode.

See you later, pup. What do you think they cook that? You're going to die in your orbiting coffin. Medium. Yeah. I imagine medium well. I imagine they probably, they got pretty thoroughly roasted. Dear God. Yeah. Isn't that, isn't that gnarly? I can remember the name of that dog. Hey, if you're going to roast me up in one of those capsules, send Jeff Ross. Leica, of course. Leica the dog.

Leica the dog. Inspiration for Cosmo, who I know from Marvel Snap. It's good that you reminded the world of Leica the dog that was cooked in a capsule in space. Yeah. The flying metal tomb. How long ago was this? For all time. This was, it was the Soviet space program. So it was 50s, 60s. Ah, right. A dog that died 50 years ago is fine.

Yeah. I mean, what are you going to do? Can't mourn forever. Zach, we're, we're talking bowls today. And I'm curious, because last time we had you on, we were talking about, you know, recipes like being vegetarian and, and, you know, and avoiding animal proteins. And I'm curious, are bowls something that you go to in your own diet? Yeah, I love a bowl. A breakfast bowl, not too often.

More of a, you know, of a brown rice and, and various toppings kind of bowl situation. For sure. But, but I'll use a bowl. Yeah, you got to. What type of, what, what type of a, we, for instance, you'll, you'll do a Chipotle bowl in the tournament. I do a Chipotle bowl. Oh, I do a, are you not allowed to say, are we not allowed to say Chipotle on here?

No, you can say Chipotle. Did you think that was the app from earlier? We were, we were, we were. Mitch and I are doing Chipotle. That's what he's going to sponsor us. Look, we're really trying to drop some pounds on this Chipotle app. It's great. I can just order my, my burrito. Yeah.

Yeah, I'll do a Chipotle bowl with, with rice and beans, you know, little salsa. Do you do the sofritas, the, the vegetarian tofu? Yeah. Although I had it recently and it was really spicy. Interesting. Yeah. It feels like, and it almost may be a credit to Chipotle that they will, they make fresh batches of stuff, right?

Like a. I think that's a huge, like that's a huge reason I like them is because you can go and be like, oh, okay, this is fresh. This is, they, they just made this and sometimes you see something, it's tougher because I'm, I'm a lot, I'm eating less meat. Usually I'll be vegetarian. I actually Chipotle. I think it's a good, it's a good veggie spot.

But like, you know, back in the day, it was like, oh, that steak just came off the grill. Yeah, I'll have steak. I wasn't going to get chicken, you know. I have an admission to make and this is bad because we just eliminated them. I'm trying to be healthy. Yeah. In the, the, the literally the first restaurant eliminated from the tournament, Sweetgreen.

Yes. It's now, I think it's going to be my go-to place. It's very solid. Sweetgreen solid. It almost won for me. It, it's like, uh, just kid, I can get a healthy bowl for, you know, five, five, you know, 600 calories, whatever. Yeah.

It does it. You know what I mean? And it can, and it's like, it's filling too. It's a little boring, but you know, you can fill yourself up. Zach, you like a Sweetgreen? Do they have Sweetgreen in New York? They do. They must.

Sweetgreen, Sweetgreen is tougher in terms of vegan options. They, they tend to have. Interesting. I don't know, like a Parmesan crisp or something going on or, you know, so they, they're not my go-to. I can do it if I have to, but, but I would prefer dig. Do they have dig out there? Dig or dig in?

I don't think so. I don't know if we have dig. I do that a lot or Chipotle or. Yeah. Sometimes I'll just take a bowl out of my cabinet, use that, that kind of stuff. That's a fun thing about bowls is you can just keep them in your house. And then you're like, you know what? I want some food in here.

No, it's good that we're allowed to have bowls in our house, that you can just keep them in your house. Yeah. It's a nice, a nice asset of a bowl. You just have one. Hold on, but you make bowls at home? I do make bowls at home. I never make a bowl at home.

Here's the big thing I'll do. I'll make a bowl at home. I'll usually, Natalie made a fucking taco bowl on Monday. Knock your socks off. I was like, and it was a good dinner because it was like very filling and, and nutritious, but, but also like it was pretty healthy. It had a lot of vegetables. But I normally, when I'm making, when I've got, get myself a big bowl,

I get some fucking big ass bowls or like fub bowl size bowls. I get one of those bad boys out. No bowl shaming here. I'm, no, it's fine. People have different size bowls. It's fine. I got a fucking tiny ass bowl. Weiger, when you, when you eat a bowl, do you just rest it on your lap?

And, you know, do you even use utensils? Or do you just lift that thing up? So this is like a ladder onto the bowl. But I usually make a big salad and I'm like, I'm like, I'm really, I've gotten really good about making in recent years. Like I'll just like, you know, like a handful of, of, of salad greens, whatever. I'll use just fucking bag masculine greens.

Don't care a handful of bag greens. And then I'll, you know, I'll dice up some tomatoes. I'll dice up some cucumber. I'll throw some, you know, some protein in there. Maybe some, some, some leftover beans, if I've got some, just, just rinse some beans and throw loose beans in there. You know, I did have some crispy, crunchy nuts. I used a bowl this morning just for, for, for my, I had 12 grapes, not dusty grapes.

And, yeah. Mitchy and grapes was like, blowing dust off your dusty ass grapes. All right, fine. Maybe they were dusty, but I, I brinced them off. And then, we got to go to California. Those grapes are too dusty. Pack up the car, load in my wife. Wait, hold on a second.

Yeah. This was an old prospector? Oh yeah. So an old prospector who wants to go to California for the dust covered grapes. And also he has. Have you read the book? What's the book? Oh, the dust, the Dust Bowl.

The Grapes of Wrath. The book is The Grapes of Wrath. Oh, I said grapes. That's about the Dust Bowl. Didn't you earlier say you did know what The Grapes of Wrath was? I, I do know The Grapes of Wrath. I do. It's a great book and play.

And movie. And movie. And movie. I put, I put 12 grapes in a hard boiled egg in my bowl today. You need them together. They were just. No. I mean, I ate the, I ate the grapes and then I ate the, then I ate the hard boiled egg.

Put some pepper on that bad boy. Zach, you're doing a home bowl. What do you make for yourself? Home bowl, you know, I hate to sound like a broken record, but I'm starting with brown rice, throwing that in there. Sure. Maybe some, it depends. I could go beans.

I could go tofu, a bean based item. Yeah. Vegetables, usually. Nothing too exciting on the bowl front. Do you do, like, do you do like a dressing? Do you do salsa? Or are you just kind of eating all that stuff together? It depends.

It depends. If I'm, if I'm making it from a recipe, I'll do a whole complicated whatever. If I'm free handing it, I'll be very lazy and use whatever hot sauce is first. That'll get the job done though. Like sometimes you just need a little like moisture to tie it all together. Here's a question I have for you while we're talking bowls. And this is not what the tournament is about. I got, I got a follow up question to that too.

Oh, you have a follow up. Why don't you do that? Cause I'm gonna, I'm gonna go in a slightly different direction. Um, here's my follow up question. And then I have a follow up, I have a follow up after that. Okay, great. All right, you go then Zach. For me.

I have a follow up for me after you go. Okay, great. Perfect. Also, I have just a comment too, before I have my follow up question. Okay, sure. That the home bowl in my head, I was like thinking like Wally versus Irma in the home bowl. Your two cats facing each other in the home bowl. And then so that's the comment.

And then my follow up question is, Sorry, can I do a comment before you do? Can I do a comment? Yeah, yeah, no, of course. I did want to, this will date the episode, but I breaking choose. I just got an email. I wanted to say congrats to both of you.

Matt Gates will not face charges in sex trafficking inquiry. Wow. And I know you mentioned him. Weiger, I assume you were in his phone. So, um, just breaking choose. I had, I wanted to get that in before we got, you know, too far a field. So that was my comment, but I do still have the follow up after. Your question and your follow up.

Gates, put some, uh, dude, put some bud lights on ice, dude. We're talking about last night. The fucking Florida DA going through his list of contacts being like, who is the burger boy? Um, so yeah, wait, wait, do you get your question? I didn't get my follow up question yet. My follow up question was what sauces you got, what hot sauces you got in your fridge? I only have two right now. Okay.

I think this is good. Look, we'll get to your thing too, but I got Sriracha and Frank's red hot sauce. And I have a couple of the ones that sponsored us. Yes. I'll show you what they're called. Bird, what are they called? Oh yeah, the, I know, I know what you're talking about. They're good too.

I can't remember the damn name of them. Yellowbird. Yellowbird, of course. Yellowbird. Those are good too. I have some of those. We used all of them. Zach hot sauces?

I will answer that, but before I answer that, I do have, I have another comment. Okay, great. Inspired by, because you mentioned a spot, something that sponsors you. I'm actually wearing a, this t-shirt is a true, what are they called? True classic. True classic. True classic. Weigar, your, your dulcet tones inspired me.

I'm wearing a true classic, active, like one of the sweat wicking ones. Yeah. I'm a big fan. I love the true classic. True classic, one of, another one of the good ones. Yellowbird, true classic, two good ones. They, the true classic, I actually. This sounds like we're doing it.

This sounds like we're doing an ad. Look, there's some bad ones. We won't say which ones they are. There are a few bad ones. Yeah. The, I mean, nothing we endorse. No. There are a few, a few bad ones are out there.

I, I. Certainly not that Chipotle app. True classic. I actually, like they, because they, you know, this is a behind the curtain. Sometimes they'll send you free stuff. I actually ordered more true classic shirts out of my own fucking pocket. And use the dough boys card. Wow.

I use my own personal funds. And you know what? The dough boys card. I mean, can I? No. I'd be very mad. I am, I am going to invoice you for this one. Yeah.

Feel free. I think that's fair. Here's my wait. So you're, you have the hot sauce question to answer. Then you have a follow up comment or question. Yes. So yeah. And then you also have to have a question too.

You also have to answer the hot sauce question. All right. Okay. So hot sauce question. I have Frank's. I have Sriracha. And then at one point in the early part of the pandemic, I decided I wanted to do the hot ones challenge by myself.

So I bought all the sauces from hot ones. Wow. And just ate them all. How did you do? You should be on hot ones. Bad. I shouldn't be on hot ones.

Well, based on how it went, I don't know if I should. But so I have a bunch of those. I have. Is it legit hard? Is it, is it legit hard? It is hard. Some of them were really, really spicy. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Question asked in Mrs. Bedroom. Jesus. Dear God. Fuck this. Let's go watch the home bowl. So in that scenario.

Very nice. That's not a response. In that scenario, Mitch has been insisting it's hard. And the other person is questioning. Unsure. Is it legit hard? It is. Look, I'll hang a sock on it.

This doesn't happen. I am focusing on my body and my self-wags. That's great. Good for you. That's what I'm focusing on. Good for you. And the cats. Yeah.

You know, I've been getting up a little earlier. The cats are getting breakfast a little earlier. They must love that. They love it. Yeah. All right. So wait, where are we in the discourse? I answered the hot sauce questions.

Is that, I'm done with that. I still want to know more about how those, because on hot ones, do they marinate the chicken in the hot sauces? Sorry, Mitch. Before we keep going, I haven't been on it. I don't know. First of all, you should be on it, because you'd be great on it, even though I know that it sounds hard.

Is the guy nice? Is he nice? Yeah. Is he nice? Okay. Can I do a pre-emptive comment? Which is that I haven't been on it. I don't know him.

I've never met him. Okay, got it. Okay. Anyways, is he nice? Did he tell you the questions he was going to ask? Did he tell you to be prepared for a question about your high school mascot or something? Yeah, he did.

Okay, that's cool. So he had a heads up. He's just giving up on us. I can't tell if they marinate the chicken in the hot sauce, which would be way more intense, obviously. I assume they just fry one batch and then roll them in a bowl with all the different sauces, but who knows? Did it cause any gastrointestinal pain the day after you

tried the hottest hot sauces? Yeah, after you heard Hot Ones taping. Yeah, the day after I taped Hot Ones was a tough day. No, it wasn't too bad because I kind of cheated. I didn't even fully immerse. I made buffalo, I made fried cauliflower. Got it. But I didn't even fully sauce them.

I just kind of dripped sauce on it. So I cheated and it still wasn't fun. Zach, have you ever done the one chip challenge? Yeah, I went on the one chip challenge show and the guy was really nice. Perfect. Great, I'm so happy. Did you ever try the... What did they call them?

We had them on the show. I have not, no. We're Takis. I'm wondering how the Hot Sauce is a comparison to that because the one chip challenge was so hot. Takis is the brand. Like I did the one chip challenge during a fantasy football draft and it was the worst sensation.

I mean, a good 20 minutes where I was truly in pain and then for a full hour afterwards, I still felt it. And then the next day, my stomach was so fucked up just from the one chip. So it was so intense. So I'm wondering if the hottest level is at that level. The hottest level of hot sauce is at that level or not, but... I have an idea for a double. You guys should do the 10 chip challenge.

So it's like the one chip challenge when we do it 10 times? Yeah, no. You just do 10 of the one chips. I think that's good. I think it's a really good idea. This is... Zach is just annoyed with us and wants to kill us now, basically. That was a 10 chip challenge.

You can't do the 10 chip challenge. I have another pitch for a double. You guys should do the one bullet challenge. Well, I definitely should stand behind Weiger if it's one bullet. He's not catching it if I go in front. You're head-stopping it like a master lock? Wait, here's what. No, I wanted...

Did we get your comment yet, Zach, your follow-up? I'm not sure, but I did forget you were recording video and I've been taking rips off my water bottle every 30 seconds. Still more professional than we are. Yeah, that's fine. I'm drinking my Coke Zero the whole time. Well, Easter egg for the fans out there? Yeah.

Which according to our app is an interesting categorization of food. That's true. It costs an extra $2 to add it to your order. Why is one hot sauce as you got going on in your fridge? And then we can get you your follow-up. The one, got a sriracha, got one of the chili garlic sauces. Do you know this one? You'll see some to see those in Asian restaurants.

And yeah, it's like a little bit more of a paste, but now he always has that on standby. And then a cholula. That's my go-to Mexican hot sauce. That's a great hot sauce. You can get them at Costco and get two big boys. Last for all, also have a franks in there from when I made... Either I remember it was cauliflower or proper wings,

but whenever the last time I made them, we still have some left over franks. Our friend Anise, I'm sorry, he told me... He just recently sent me this, a picture of this, and it looks good. He said, put this on all your green beans, fly by Jing, Szechuan chili crisp. Looks good. And I am like genuinely thinking about doing that. Is the sauce or is it a crisp?

I think it's like a little crisp. A little crispy crunchies. Yeah, I'll do like a... We got like a... And you... Chili pepper flakes too. Was that Zach? Had you been discussing green beans?

Honestly, yeah. Would you just sort of... Yeah. Okay. Now, the direction, the conversation when... We were genuinely talking about green beans. If you want to see how boring we are outside of the podcast. I was like, oh, I got to eat a lot of green beans,

because I was eating green beans, and I was like, these are boring. And then he mentioned that. And then I think we did get into like a pretty long combo about green beans. I think green beans are... You roast them up, you know? That's a big part of just like making any vegetable fun, you just roast it. Put it in the oven and you know... I think just like boiled green beans, which is kind of like what I had.

Yeah, that's boring. They're like... It's like one of the worst things in the world to eat. They were so boring. No, roast them. It's easy to do. Fucking horrible. You just get just put them on a cookie sheet, you know?

Do you throw a little oil on them if you like and season them? And I always throw some garlic on there. Why not? Just garlic green beans, those are flavorful. That's a side dish you'd pay for in an Italian restaurant. No, Dracula's coming by that night. You don't have to worry about Dracula's for that night. I said month, but I'm not sure if garlic...

I don't know if it protects you for a full month. The nice thing about a Dracula coming by is you have to invite them in. So if they're like... If you just don't invite them in, you're safe. Like that's like the main point of prevention you can do regarding Dracula's entering your home is just never invite them in because then you're just kind of covered. You don't invite anyone to your home, so you're pretty safe in that regard. Is that why?

It might be out of fear that someone is a Dracula, but it would be funny for you to be like... Can you invite someone over and then it just turns out they're very Dracula? You're like, oh fuck, I already invited them. Dracula, come on in buddy. And Dracula was like, I am actually, I'm busy. He doesn't want to go into Nick's hell house. I am dealing with some issues.

My wife is sick. Here's the question I wanted to ask you, Zach. This is not the topic of this episode. This is not the topic of this tournament, but it is a bowl food. And it is a challenge I know from eating, trying to eat plant-based soup. So many soups have a chicken or beef base. They have some sort of vegetable or some sort of animal protein involved, or they're made with some sort of cream.

How do you find yourself a good vegan soup? You start by using your search bar, you put vegan up there, and then you're pretty, you're usually pretty covered. Okay, got it. So I'll just kind of stick to that kind of stuff. But yes, I'm just on Bing now. I'm just typing in vegan soup. Sure, I meant more.

And yeah, there's like 30 vegan soup recipes. So there's a bunch, I guess. That is not, I sort of meant more on a delivery app or on the menu of a restaurant. Let me see, yeah. Which in New York, you probably got quite a bit of vegan soup options too, I'm sure. There is, there are quite a few. I'm not going to mention their name, but a restaurant we covered before has a very delicious vegan soup.

And if you're real sleepy, you can figure out which one that was. I like that. We can't, we won't be able to figure it out. But I gotta say, Vampire Borat is funny. Yeah, that's funny. That's really good. Because he already kind of has like a Dracula sort of accent. So just like it's a pretty quick A to B, the Dracula Borat.

I'm not sure how many more adventures of Borat there will be, but that should be one of them. It's like the thing when they were going to make like, what was it, the 21 Jump Street franchise was going to like have a crossover with Men in Black. Men in Black, right, yeah. It's like they could just have Borat, could just have a calculator of fucking crossover with like Dracula dead and loving it. And we'd be set. That's good.

Yeah, that would be good. Although now that you say it'd be kind of fun to see Borat crossover with Men in Black. That's also good. Fuck, that'd be awesome. And the Men in Black are like, dude, you're not one of the aliens? That's funny too. That is funny. Yeah.

And Borat would say like, I make my wife look good. We'll be back with more dope ones. This show is brought to you by BetterHelp. You know, Mitch, I learned something new about myself recently. I learned I can stick to a bedtime routine. I can go to the bed at bed at the same time and wake up at the same time every day and stick to that because getting to know yourself can be a lifelong process, especially because we're always growing and changing, especially in recent years.

We're here with Zach Cherry. As we continue Munch Madness 2023, the tournament of champions, Bowl, and we're covering Mitch, the Acai region. Jamba, be pressed. Both used to be Jamba juice and pressed juicery. Now just Jamba and pressed because they focus on bowls as much as juices. Yes. While we were...

I was actually wondering about that. I noticed Jamba was just called Jamba, and I was wondering if it was like a Lady Antebellum or Dixie Chicks type situation where they had to drop the pro-slavery word from their name. Right. But I guess it's because you're saying they offer more options. I think it was actually a reaction to OJ. They finally thought like this is...

Yeah, it was like Kurtz Renekar, but just like much later. They're like, oh boy, this is no good. We can't have this association. We're going to get juice is OJ's nickname. We need to get rid of this. We got to get this out of our... That's probably what it was. Yeah.

Big companies move slow. It's like a lot of bureaucracy. So to... It's true. You know what? OJ, very funny isn't... What is his name? Nordberg.

Nordberg. He's... I hate how funny those performances are because they're hard. It's hard to watch those movies, but he's very funny in them. But you still have to watch them. I still have to watch them. So I put it on the trilogy all the time. What does the web...

I put on the trilogy all the time. I fast forward to the Nordberg parts. While we were gone... Well, first of all, Casey came back and he fixed... They should put... Sorry, real quick. They should put Frank Dreb... They should put Borat and the Frank Dreb and Roll and the next naked guy.

That's fucking really funny. That is good as hell. You know what? Bring back OJ too. While we were gone... He's available. He is available. He's doing stuff.

While we're gone, Casey adjusted the cameras, which I was wondering... Was it to show more of the dusty grapes? Or was it to get the cameras off the dusty grapes? Because you were embarrassed by the grapes. It had nothing to do with the grapes. Okay, got it. All right, that's fair. And then also Wags...

We took a quick drop down and you asked our guests, you good on water? Because he's been drinking water bottle. Reasonable question. I wasn't trying to needle him. And we both laughed at you. This is the... No, hold on.

If we have a guest in studio, I will ask them when we take a break. Hey, are you good on water? Or do you need the restroom or something? Because we have a few minutes in case they do. And if not, sometimes we'll just like, yeah, let's just full steam ahead. Go back to the episode. It's a nice question.

It was nice, but we did laugh. I was trying to be a thought of a gracious host here. You were a gracious host. Sorry. You're a gracious host. Thank you. I didn't like it. I didn't like it.

Okay, exactly like it. That's fair. Jamba impressed both dropped the juice. And I was like juice... I'm curious to your perspective on... Typical Weiger morning. I do. I will drop the juice.

I will drop the juice. I have. I've had that happen. I fucking shattered a plate last night. I put dinner on the table and it was like... I can only imagine Natalie's nerves. Yeah. Like fucking shaking all the time, ready for fucking...

Right. And yeah, she's fucking her life's a nightmare. She was in the bedroom and I was... Shout out Todd Field. And I put dinner on the table and I said... And I was like... And then I picked up a plate. Like I got a plate for her to plate for myself.

And the plate I picked up for myself, I dropped and fucking shattered. It was stoneware. Just shattered into like 80 pieces. It was an absolute mess. And so I had to be like, Hey, dinner's ready, but I just dropped a plate. So like put on shoes.

I'm gonna try to clean this up. Dear God. Yeah, so I spilled all the time. Did you just kneel down and just... Ate the plate? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I did. Eating food in class.

Yeah, I'm like, I'm like, crimes of the future. I just fucking eat. I so rarely... I eat objects. I can't even remember last time I broke a plate or a cup, to be honest with you. I happen to be all the time. You know what's fucked up is I had Simpsons.

I brought Koalak to a Simpsons premiere. And we got like cool pint classes from the Simpsons. People were asking for photos of photos with Rap Boy. Oh my God, they got Rap Boy. They got Rap Boy for that episode where Bart turns into a real Rap Boy. Wow, he's here. And then eventually he's like,

All right, I'll take photos. Why weren't I bonded by about calling Koalak a rat? So I do... Rap Boy was there in the flesh. I'm sure he loves that. He does. Well, you know what's funny is that I like... We were like, you rat.

And then like I told them that we were making fun of him. He's like, that's like what my neighbor's always called me. He's like, Matt the rat. Everyone's called me Matt the rat. And I was like, oh my God. We're like so right. I can't believe how right we were 100% on it. We were...

There was a... He's Rap Boy. Someone, I can't remember what the insult was, but someone called Koalak like a weasel or something. And he's like, at least get the animal right. I'm a rat. I was like, let's bring it come back. Fucking idiot.

Guy just leaves with his head down in shame. Man, fucking Rap Boy yelled at me. Well, Koalak, we had pint glasses from the Simpsons. Yeah. Koalak broke like four... There was four of them. He broke three of them, I think. Yeah.

Maybe Jack broke one. But Koalak, my two roommates. And then he had his own that he never put out. And then he moved out. He just took them. Fucking trash. Fucking rat. It's tough being kind of a clumsy oaf.

Because you just end up having to fight. How do you break stuff? I never break stuff. I lose my grip on something. Yeah. Or I just pick it up awkwardly and it falls out of my hand. But you know what? You know what's the worst side of that?

Is that I'm too precious about... Shout out to a novel by... I forgot her name. Precious A Novel by... Oh, I know what you're talking about. Sapphire? Sapphire. The novel is called Ploish by Sapphire.

Damn it. That's what it is. I couldn't remember the director of... And also, it's a sad movie. There was another movie called Ploish, I think, was the issue. In the bedroom, I guess it's more upbeat than... But they're both depressing watches. They're both depressing watches.

Anyways. And they are both 15 years old. Right in the Doughboys' wheelhouse. I am too precious with stuff, so I would like... Like, it's probably better to just break stuff and not care about it. I think there's also a physical attribute that maybe is being underplayed here. Your hands are massive.

You have built-in fucking baseball mitts. And so I think that just gives you like... I don't think that's an advantage. Okay. That's a great point. I'm not... These aren't... Like, they're very thick and...

You know, I told you Wu-Tang used to say that they were penguin hands. They kind of are penguin-y. I don't mean that as an insult. Yeah. But it's like... I'm thinking of like... He'd be like, penguin fingers. He would do that like in high school.

Man, that's funny. He's one of my good friends. That's good. And then he'd do a backflip. Penguins don't have hands or fingers. That's a great point. A good point. Don't penguins have wings?

Yeah. Yeah, wings or flippers or fins. Yeah, not fins, I guess. Flippers. Well, he meant like the DeVito penguin, right? I think he did mean the DeVito penguin. Okay. Should we...

Do you want to text him? Find out. All right. I will text him. Okay, great. We'll get closer on this. Okay. Jomb and press.

And then I have a follow-up. When he texts you back, I have a follow-up. Okay. So when we get the reply, we'll give you a heads up. Where do you stand on juice? Are you a juice guy? Not so much. I like an orange juice every once in a while.

And if I'm really feeling froggy, I'll get that sparkly apple juice. But that's about it for me on the juice. Yeah. Juice to me is like, it's a little too sweet. Like, I used to like really like juices, and now it hasn't been an occasional thing, because I just, it feels...

I don't know, it's just that the sugar overpowers me a little bit. I say that as I'm drinking a Coke Zero, but that's like the right balance of sweetness for me. And speaking of sweet foods, I'm curious your take, because we're coming up on a holiday, which is, of course, St. Patrick's Day in March. But talking about another holiday, Christmas, do you think of Christmas as like a cookie holiday?

I'm glad you asked, Nick. Kind of. Interesting. I think of it sort, I think of it sort of as a cookie holiday in the sense that in my head, Christmas cookies is a thing, like the phrase... 100%. Inarguable.

Yes. But, and I can't think of another holiday where that applies. Like, there's no Halloween cookies. There's no, I don't know, Arbor Day cookies. Sure. But at the same time... I mean, if you had a little treat cookies on Arbor Day, and we're like, they're Arbor Day cookies,

people would be like, okay, I get it, but it's not like an existing concept. I get your point. Right. But at the same time, I've never made cookies on Christmas. My family is a Thanksgiving cookie family. We make these turkey shaped cookies, everything's giving, with candy corn as the feathers,

and a Reese's Cup in the middle as the arm wing, and then a Twizzler as the gobbler. Into that. And then a chocolate chip as the eye. That's so elaborate. I love this. So for the video, for the video people... Yeah.

If this is the turkey, I'm putting my hand out. Zach is holding his hand out. This is where the candy corns, and then that's where the other, and then the gobbler, like the gobbler kind of go, and then the eye. I'm trying to be multimedia for the video. No, we appreciate it.

Yeah, very much so. Wow. So another data point there, Mitch, on whether Christmas is a cookie holiday. Well, it's huge. Thanksgiving cookies is huge. It's huge. That's huge.

I'm starting. Maybe I'm starting to shift a little bit. I don't know. Well, we'll find out. This conversation will continue. Anyway. We're all long exactly. We'll keep going.

Anyway, let's get into Munch Madness, and hey, what would a tournament of champions be without extensive guidelines decreed by Commissioner Susser? Emma, play the theme. The theme. That's right. It's time for Choo Rules.

Today's woke food culture has led to social justice warriors trying to ruin a bowl places business for having the audacity to not be gluten free. Well, I say it's time to kick out Chairman Mao and bring back Tasty Chow. And I don't care if you cancel me for my order. All right, good. We can kill the music, Emma.

All right. Choo Rules. Number one. Salad ain't valid. Bowl is the goal. No salads. Rule two. Tasty Chow?

Yeah. Kick out Chairman Mao and bring back Tasty Chow. Pretty straightforward. Rule number two. Because Mao is too woke? Yeah, he's too woke. You get it? Okay.

Rule number two. Chili is silly. Chili is not considered. Rule number three. Stew won't do. Bowl of viscosity must be stew level at a minimum. We want goop, not soup. We've already amended this because it has to be above stew level

because stew is stew. Must be above stew level at minimum. I should have changed that in my house. It can't be equal to stew. It can't be stew level. No, it can't be because if it's stew level, then it'll just be stew. And we've already said stew won't do.

Rule number four. When it comes to strikes, we're at the bowling alley, not the batter's box. That's right, strikes aren't bad, they're good. Three strikes, you're in. The most confusing rule. Rule number five. The Mitch Addendum.

Two strikes, you're also in. That's called a 7-10 split decision. That's right. Rule number six. Drinks are in the gutter. Sides are also in the gutter. Rule number seven. Cookies are oaky, but they are also Christmassy.

Hold on a second. Didn't we decide that sides and drinks were now allowed? That's a different rule. Okay. We're getting there. Okay. Cookies are oaky. Cookies are oaky, but are they also Christmassy?

Cookies may not be considered, but every guest must be asked the question, is Christmas a cookie holiday, which we've accomplished. It's Christmas a cookie. Oaky cookie holiday? I mean, we can ask that too. I think that's a good question. Okay.

Zach, is Christmas an oaky cookie holiday? At my house, you know it is. Rule number eight. Oh, I'm going to Zach's house first. That's a good one. RSVP, yes. Yup. I get my gifts at 12.01 a.m.

Christina has got to be there. Must arrive when the oaky cookie is still warm. He's not on the naughty list. He's on the naughty list. He actually did say that to me last time. He did. Wow. Yeah.

I love that guy. His mad son is so cool. That is awesome. Fucking rules. Rule number eight. When it comes to bread, there's more that will be said. Which means you can consider bread. And rule number nine.

Chips are also bread. It doesn't really apply to these chains. Jamba and pressed. Let's start with Jamba. But you haven't talked about that. I have a question before we go too much further. Why was I not given any of those before I... That's a great question.

That's on us. Because I could have come in here with just two bowls of chili ready to fire away. I was given none of this information. Part of the issue is that we found all this out when we did our episode with Pali. Susser came in and we're like, here are the rules. And then we didn't do the extra step of... But you didn't say the amended rule.

So we can't eat bread or chips if there's no bread. I don't have a copy of it. I thought there was another rule. But no, we can do drinks. Drinks are in the gutter. Sides are also in the gutter. We said drinks and sides are important. And now, didn't that change?

We said drinks were, at least. Yeah, we added drinks and treats. So I guess just another rule that says drinks are out of the gutter. Sides are also out of the gutter. That's good. Okay, I'll type that in. Maybe they're in the nutter.

That's good. That's now official. Okay, great. That's good. Drinks are in the nutter. I think that you have to... I think that you have to say that they're in the gutter. You have to say that whole rule about them being in the gutter.

And then you have to say the rule later that they're in the nutter. Okay, so drinks are in the gutter. Sides are also in the gutter. However, drinks are in the nutter. Sides are also in the nutter. You can consider sides and drinks. Okay, that's good. Yeah, that's good.

Sorry, I just got to type this up so I have it for next time. And then we could send this to our guests for future episodes. Yeah, that's good. I think we should just send them to them as is. Oh, sides are in the nutter? Okay, got it. Yeah. Luckily, I did follow all those rules.

Okay, glad that worked out. Let's start with Jamba. Mitch, you and I had Jamba together just before we recorded. I will say a little about our Jamba experience. It's a lot of locational variation in terms of what's available. And we ran into this where my first and second choices were not available at the particular Jamba juice we got sent to us. So I ended up going to the only other option there was

because Mitch, you got chunky strawberry and the other bowl they offered was vanilla blue sky, which is bananas, pineapples, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla coconut milk, and blue spirulina was the base. Neither of which has any acai in them. That's part of the issue. We asked for acai. I was like, okay, let's get one of these acai ones.

They're like, we don't have it. So I was like, okay, so I'll get a different bowl. But it'll still qualify for our purposes. Mitch, you also got the chunky strawberry, vanilla soy milk, strawberries, bananas, nonfat, Greek yogurt, organic granola, and peanut butter. Yours a little bit more caloric,

but I'd also say quite a bit more flavorful. It was a little bit more graded. It was a 500 and something as opposed to, I think maybe 580 as opposed to yours was like 300. Yeah. But yeah, I think a little bit more tasty why I said that was. I have not been to a Jamba juice and probably since we did it for the podcast last,

did we ever do it for the podcast? We did it. We did it with an April 2017 with our friend Dylan Galula. 2017 is the last time I went. We did get bowls when we went and fork scores were abysmal. Dylan gave it a one. Holy shit.

You went two and a half. You were the high man and I would give it two. Two and a half. Yeah. So but what did you think of that chunky strawberry? I liked it. I'm shocked. I did not think I was going to like it.

Yeah. I enjoyed it. We were saying we got in here. I walked here. I took an Uber from Silver Lake, Ramen to here. I had been my plan was to walk to work. I didn't make it all the way.

It's progress. And so I Ubered here. I got out. We went into the kitchen and we were like, fuck, we're going to eat this dog shit. Look at this dog shit. We were saying this sucks. Yeah.

We're going to eat this dog shit. Yeah. This. It was like a dog turd over on the floor. We're like, oh man, I wish I could have that instead. We're going to eat this dog shit. It's funny to think of a dog shit in this place populated by hunks and fucking models.

Dude, who's fucking dog took a shit, bro? Dude. It's not cool. None of their dog shit either, just like them. I'm doing this is where I do my planks. Between records, can't be fucking dog shit here. No dog shit here. Doughboys.

Was it Doughboys? They just think it's us immediately. Would the Doughboys take a shit in here? I think we were ready to expect dog shit level food. Yeah. It didn't look great. I took that first bite, Wags. It was fucking good.

It had, my first thought was that it tasted more like peanut butter than strawberry. Yeah. Zach and I was like, but this is a lot better. They've definitely done some of their work there. There was fresh fruit on top. There was a banana, strawberries, like you were saying, there's some granola, some, what is it?

Coconut? Was that the, oh no, I think that mine had coconut. No, mine had coconut. Yours had some sort of nut. It was just an organic granola. It's not specified. All right. I thought I had mine had little flakes of nuts too.

I mean granola can have nuts. Oh yeah, because there was like sunflower seeds, I believe, in there. But you could really taste that peanut butter, not as much as strawberry, so it's kind of like, for chunky strawberry, I don't know if I got enough of like a strawberry taste in that base. But it was, I'm not turning this away.

I liked it quite a bit. I like, I thought that this was going to be pressed, walking away with this thing. And now I don't think it's going to walk away with it. I mean, I don't know what will happen. The vanilla blue sky, first off, very blue, super blue. Felt like a fucking navi fucking jizzed in this bowl, man. You know how jizz is the same color as skin?

Made me think that. Navi, because they're blue, they'll have blue jizz. That's how it works, right? Let's look like a fucking Jake Sully shot a load of my bowl, man. With his jizz being the same color as his skin tone, as true for all animals. This is the same exact thing he said, right? That's true.

When he noticed the bowl. Anyway, have you ever seen, have you seen a zebra jizz? It's black and white. Black and white. Like him. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy.

It's crazy. That's why that's the perfect pairing for an oaky cookie for one, for one of those. Christina. You know the 50-50s? Yeah, right, yeah. The black and white cookies? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like Jewish tellies? Yeah, black and white cookies. You've got to get a zebra in your fucking circle, Jerk. Yeah. If you're going to do a nookie cookie with a black and white cookie, you've got to have a zebra. I thought that it looked like avatar food. Yeah.

I mean, it gave me the avatar blues. As you know, we got the avatar blues. Just looking at it because we were thinking about Pandora. But there's no podcast on Pandora. No, that's true. We could never go. And what are we going to do? What's the podcast going to be about?

Home Tree. What are we going to do? We were talking about Home Tree again this week. So let's see what else. So Home Tree, we love it. We missed it. It's great. We love it.

Anya is really nice. Yeah. Pyakin is cool. Love Pyacon. It's very cool. We tried to get him. He can fit in the studio. There'd be like a Rogan, like a Rogan Navi who was like

saying that the sky people are good. Yeah. That's like an Ash Navi. Ash Navi is like pro sky people. They're just doing their thing, man. Yeah. If you get in their way, that's your problem. Wow.

I also wise it was a vanilla sky bowl like the movie, which would explain why you were wearing a mask while you were eating it. Weigher had like a blank Weigher mask and he put it on to eat the meal. A real Tom Cruise mask era. Right? He has the mask in.

He's the mask in the mask. He's the mask in the mask without kicking the whole thing off. Jim Carrey plays the mask as human. Tom Cruise's mask is the mask. Yeah. That was a thing a lot of people don't know. Uncredited, but it's a great performance. Eyes wide shut.

He's got the mask. He does. Pedalio. It's the password. And then for this big orgy, he doesn't participate in. And then vanilla sky's got the mask. I'm going to tell you once again, there's a mask aspect in a minority report.

I was getting this fucking masks in Mission Impossible. The French is all about masks. This guy's a mask. Cruise is going nuts with the mask. He's the mask guy. Zach, can you believe this? I mean, what's he trying to tell us? Can you believe this thing?

Why isn't I just stumbled onto the Cruise mask? He wears masks all the time. The guy loves masks. He loves masks. Maybe there's something to just being an actor and just like you are kind of putting on a mask as an actor. Zach and I know this. In Top Gun, he has the...

Huge mask movie. And he brought it back. Yep. The guy loves masks. He loves masks. And Zach and I can relate as actors that playing a character is a mask. He's kind of wearing a mask. Exactly.

Exactly. You're also kind of wearing a mask like in just in society. Like are we ever who you really are? Or just when you're out and about, you're kind of wearing a mask in terms of what you want to project to other people. Shit. Yeah. That's deep.

That is deep. The vanilla sky thing that I just think of the Leno joke. I don't remember this Leno joke. It's really good. But he's like, I'm gonna move in. No, this guy, Tom Cruise, that's the nightmare. He's having sex with vanilla cruise.

And then she turns into Cameron Diaz. Oh, what a nightmare, Kevin. Wow. That's good. Oh, okay. You know what's crazy? The crazy thing is I actually don't, I don't remember that Leno joke.

Wow. Okay. I remember, like, I like, I have, I'm like a Leno catalog. I remember like every Leno joke. But that, I don't remember that one. Well, add it to the catalog because it's a good one. You might be in a vanilla sky situation where, because everyone remembers that Leno joke.

How could you forget it? Shit. Just to talk about this real quick. You know what? Yeah. I hear after the incident, Leno's now wearing a mask. Oh, he is.

Yeah. Oh my God. He's like, the Tonight Show Theater is like empty. He has like half a mask and he runs around. Playing the organ up there. You hear this? Playing Kevin's country. You hear about this?

On an organ? Yeah. Okay. That's from Phantom of the Opera. To talk about this from a flavor standpoint real quick. I did like the book. Yeah. In a play.

I think this was, I think this was dairy-free. Was there ever a book of Phantom of the Opera? I don't think so. I think it's just a play. I think it's just a, yeah. But that's what, that was my, it was a joke when I said it. Yeah, I know, we know. You're fine.

Go ahead. Say what you're going to say. I think this was dairy-free, which I appreciate it. Because sometimes you can get up with the rumblies if you have too much, you know. It's usually, it's usually yogurt, which is usually okay, but sometimes a dairy-heavy thing. Especially that quantity of it. Was mine dairy-free?

No, yours had Greek yogurt. Oh, shit. Yeah. Are you allergic to yogurt or just Greek, Greek things? It's both. Right. It's both. Weigar, you're, are you Park Greek?

You were throwing plates on the ground the other day, so I'm not sure. No, I'm not Greek. That was not related. The... That's a fun tradition, isn't it? And it seems fun. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, it's kind of messy, but whatever. It's for a special occasion. You should lie to Natalie and just say like, I'm Greek. I'm Greek. That's what we do. She knows I'm not Greek. Would, would, would finding out you were Greek now come as a surprise to her or would that

feel pretty, pretty much how you operate? Great question. I think she would be like, I think she'd maybe be like, oh, okay. Like, I think she'd kind of take it in stride. Is Natalie marrying you like a long-term psychiatric study? She does work in the field. She takes out a notebook after everything you say. This thing, I think the only the issue with this is, I liked all the fruit.

I love the little, you know, there's, they don't, it's not in the description, but they had like little flakes of coconut in addition to the coconut milk. And I like that a lot. I like the little hint of vanilla. I'm a big vanilla application. Vanilla is a flavor. The blue spirulina was kind of flavorless. It kind of just tasted like ice milk.

It tastes a little bit like ice milk. You know what I compared it to? Because I had a little bite. We had a bite of each other's bowls. We did. I compared it to the Star Wars milk at Disney. It is a little Star Wars milky. Yeah, 100%, but just frozen.

Which I think is disappointing. Yeah, I was a little, I was a little bummed by the base, but the, all the toppings I thought were pretty good and fresher than I expected. Zach, let's talk about your Jamba experience. What did you get and what did you think? Okay, my Jamba experience, let's start with the fact that in New York, Jambas only exist in major transit hubs. So the only Jamba juices are at JFK and Penn Station.

And there's maybe like one other one. So I took my ass over to Penn Station. Wow. The, you know, the home of the trains that you love so much. Oh yeah, I've been to Penn Station. It's a wonderful train station. Yeah. Have you been to it since they updated it?

No. When did they update it? No, you haven't. Pretty recently, like during pandemic. Oh, then no, definitely not. Cause last time I was there was for a show. Yeah, I do have to. And hey, maybe we will.

You're gonna love it. Hey, maybe, I mean, we, the show dates have been announced. We're going to New York. I don't know if they've been announced. Also, didn't we say it on the Hodgman episode? I think so. We're going to New York. We're going to New York.

I will get to see it. We're coming back to Penn Station. Spoiler alert. Doughboys live from Penn Station is going to be an episode of New York. Sounds great. I think that would be fun. You'd have an audience. That's true.

And also a lot of the podcasts would be drawn out by train noises, which is good. Yeah. Better than the podcast itself. What, Zach, I interrupted you. I also, can I quickly just say I got a response from Wu Tang? Wu Tang? Oh yeah, please.

Yes. And I said, I said, when you call me penguin fingers in high school, did you mean Danny DeVito penguin? We were talking about this on Doughboys. And he said, yeah. And he said, and you have to do the quack, which I already. He said, yeah. He said, yeah.

And then he said, and you have to do the quack, which was like, that's what he always used to do. And then he said, maybe cartoon. Shit, I can't remember. Maybe a combo of both. We drank a lot. And then he said, definitely animated one. And then he sent me a picture of the animated penguin.

Oh, sure. Yeah. Which is not a flattering, or a high school student. It's not a very flattering picture. He's a little rotund. I remember, but like, I remember the, maybe I'm misremembering, maybe I'm conflating with a Burgess Meredith one, but I remember the animated series penguin was a little bit more of a take

on a skinny penguin. Am I wrong? Or was he? Oh, so you think that I'm too fucking fat for the animated penguin is what you're trying to say? No, I'm saying the picture you showed was of the, of the, the girthier penguin. And that's not my memory of him, but I could just be wrong.

You might be wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. Mandela effect. All right. Anyway, Zach, sorry to interrupt. Can you, can you, can I ask my follow up to? Yes, of course. Yes.

Can you and tell him, can you tell him it's for me? Yes, of course. And can you ask if he thinks the Danny DeVito penguin or the Colin Farrell penguin, which one is more like your fingers? That's a good question. And then when you're done with that, I also have a follow up question for Wu Tang.

You want us to know if Colin Farrell, if my fingers are more like Danny DeVito or Colin Farrell? Yeah. Yeah. It goes to the two penguin versions of the penguin. Yeah. Good question. Thank you.

Did you like the Batman? I did. I did like the Batman. Yeah. I liked the Batman. I liked the penguin. A little long, but I enjoyed it. I liked the Riddler.

Love that Riddler. I've sent him the question. Did they know Riddler? Do you want me to send your question to? Wait for him to reply, and then if he replies, I'll send my follow up. Okay. So, okay.

So you went all the way to Penn Station. You hauled your ass out there. God bless you. And what did you end up getting? So I brought my wife along, my lovely wife. Wow. Which I was actually trying to, I wanted to bring up something earlier.

I do have a wife update, but there hasn't been any opportunity to mention my wife on the show yet. There's been no easy segues. Right. So. Tricky. Last time I was on the show, which was not the episode Butcher's Daughter, when I appeared on the Holiday Special,

my wife had another Doe Boys related medical event. Wow. Which is, we're recording the Holiday Special. I finish, finish recording. I'm in this room, this extremely nondescript room because you're recording video now, and I don't want everyone in the world to know where I live like Mitch.

So I'm in this room, and then I finish recording, and I'm about to open the door, and my wife goes, don't come out here. And I was like, what? And she was like, I have COVID. And she tested positive for COVID while I was recording with you. And I think what happened is she was listening to the door and it made her feel so sick, she needed to check.

And that's true. So if my wife experiences one more Doe Boys related medical event, you will never see or hear from me again. Understandable. Because so far, there have been a few. Anyway, back to the job. We're kind of like the happening in some ways. Yeah.

M. Night Shyamalan movie. Yeah. Yes. How? People hear the podcast and then like they lay down in front of the lawn more. Yeah, right. Yeah.

Yes, exactly. Exactly. Four strangers converge in the woods. They've all been listening to the same podcast, told them to come here. I'm, my heart breaks for the podcast I had to listen to. Hey, speaking of Greeks, he's a Greek freak. She's fucking unbelievable with that movie.

Did you see Knock in the Cabin? No, I haven't yet. Why isn't I love Knock in the Cabin? Fucking loved it. I'm excited. I do love a Shyamalan. Batista may be my favorite wrestler turned actor. That's what everyone says.

And like, yeah, I don't think you can argue with it. He's incredible. It's a great performance. Woo has responded. Okay, great. Definitely Danny DeVito. I didn't even know Colin Farrell played the penguin then he had a head explosion emoji.

Wow. So he hasn't seen the Batman, obviously. So I guess, yeah. Bore, I guess kind of weirdly more insulting. I don't know. Like, I guess I'd rather be like the guy who's dressed up like the hunk that's dressed up like the penguin, I guess. Sure.

Well, because the penguin, the DeVito penguin is like a literal monster. Yeah. Like he's got like sharp teeth and like, you know. So this guy is at least like a human. Yeah. Yeah. What's your follow-up question?

I'll let him know. Can you say, and say this is from Weiger, can you just ask him if Christmas is a cookie holiday? But I've just asked. OK. Is your wife's doing OK though, right, Zach? Yes. Yes.

OK. She is doing OK. She has recovered from hearing the podcast and is feeling, is feeling good. Wow. So she came on the journey with me. I got the, I think it was just called the classic Acai bowl or whatever the Acai,

the only one that actually had Acai in it. I got that one. It was OK. It was a little syrupy, not a ton of granola, which in my opinion is literally the only factor in whether an Acai bowl tastes good or not is how much granola there is. Yeah.

Because that crunch to me is a really important factor. My wife got the blue, the vanilla blue one, which she actually kind of liked. I tried it as well. It also tasted peanut buttery. So I guess they just stole peanut butter in all of these. It had a much milder flavor in the Acai, but they basically had the same toppings.

Now. Did either of you make that, did either of you have that observation that like it looks like Jake Sully nutted in the bowl? And that's also. Yes. Sorry. I've got to say my wife said that.

Got it. OK. Great. And she has not seen Avatar, so I didn't really understand what I was coming from. But she took one bite and said, this looks like Jake Sully nutted in the bowl. But true story.

And you're on the nice, because this is sort of a Doe Boys related medical event. When she tasted my Acai bowl, she literally spit it out and went, oh, oh, oh. I don't know what's going on. When we get to when we get depressed, we can talk about maybe a similar reaction she had. So she may have some type of like Acai cilantro gene or something.

Sure. But she really, really did not like that. I thought they were both fine. The fruit was all pretty good. The textures were fine, but just a little, a little whatever. That's where I stood on the on the two bowls. Wow.

Well, let's pivot to press, because that's the other chain that's in this bracket. I got the- Not good for Jamba. Our experience is pretty good, but that- Mine was better than I expected. Mine was fine. Mine was a C plus.

Okay. Okay. Could work with that. I got the Acai Superfood Smoothie Bowl. They have a few different Acai versions. And this one has banana, coconut, blueberries, goji berries, a drizzle of agave. And it says made with a balanced ingredient base

from Acai oat milk, coconut cream, and no refined sugars. So yeah, it's not a super sugary version of this. It feels very fruit-forward. I love the coconut on this one. Again, the highlight, just like the flakes of coconut. And the coconut cream within the base, I think, also just was nice and flavorful. I think the thing is this one looked so much better.

If you were just looking at these bowls side-by-side, you'd be like, oh, this one's clearly better. This one kind of looks like airport, you know, fucking something you get out of an airport kiosk. This looks like a proper dish. Yeah. Flavor-wise, I don't think they were miles apart, but I did really like just how many,

how much fruit was in this one. And also how filling it was. This one actually felt like a meal versus like a treat. I don't know, I was pretty happy with it. I don't know if it's the healthiest thing you can get at pressed, but it certainly was a lot of fun. Woo has answered your question.

Okay, great. Is Christmas a cookie holiday? No, yo. I'm a savory guy anyways. Wow, a firm no. A firm no from Wu Tang. Interesting. And he's in the food industry, so he knows the stuff.

He is in the food industry. I also got the asai. How do you say it? Asai? I think it's asai. Shit. I also got the asai, power bowl. Only one and a half hours into the asai episode.

Do you ask how to pronounce the word? I don't know why I keep forgetting it. Asai. Yeah. Asai, which is a word I usually normally know. Mm-hmm. For instance, I might be reading The Dust Bowl and say, I'm getting an asai bowl.

Right, yeah. And I'll put down The Dust Bowl and I'm like, I'm going to pick up Grapes of Wrath again. The asai bowl, power bowl wigs, which we've both gotten before. I think we've even talked about it before. I like that power bowl. Yeah. And I was just like, I want the power bowl the most,

so I got a small version this time. I didn't go the big boy. I think the power bowl has the most protein, I think. I think that's one of its things. And I really like it. There's a great cinnamon taste to it. But this time, I did have a critique of it. That asai, and look, like Meghan Trainor is saying,

it's all about that base. And here, that base is ice, can be ice cold wigs. It can be ice cold. What? I mean, either of us made a reference more current than 2009 in the course of this episode. Well, technically, you referenced Avatar Wavewater, but I think you were both thinking of the original when you said it.

Yeah, we were. Meghan Trainor, not too long ago, say, it's all about that base. And she's right, in a lot of respects, the base is important. And you know what? I kind of almost really liked the base I had today more from Jamba. Just because that asai base was so fucking cold. Did you have the same thing? It's super cold.

It's super cold. That's actually a thing that frigid. It's really interesting how much it is just like ice cream, basically. Yeah. Like really cold soft serve. And it's good, but I think what makes the pressed bowl is those toppings, those fresh toppings, which are fresh and delicious. And they do a great job with that.

And I got the smaller bowl, which I love getting the bigger bowl. I'm trying to be better. And I missed that bigger bowl, honestly. I think that I think the flavor balance is a little bit better than the bigger bowl. Yeah. But still good, still good. Wow.

But I saw some kinks in the armor this time. Wow. Zach, your pressed experience. Can I ask, did you did you eat pressed in store? Or did you have it delivered or how did the pressed work for you? In terms of how cold it was. The Jamba we got, we got delivered, we're at the studio and Ania brought it over for us.

And then the, my pressed, I picked up. So I picked it up and then took it home. Gotcha. That was about 10 minutes of transit. And it was still pretty cold at that point. My pressed. And Mitch. God, the fucking people who's going to be like,

you should get into the restaurant. I've been to pressed before. I've been, it sounded like I said, I've been depressed before, which is true. I have been depressed before, in fact, right now, and all the way to when the show started. But I've been too pressed before. Yes.

And I don't need to go to the storefront again. There's one by the American, I've been there. There's one actually, there was one in Atwater Village nearby. At least there used to be. I've been to the, I've been to pressed. I've been too pressed. Yes. This was not a gotcha question.

I was just trying to, I was just trying to know. It's not, it's not you that I'm already getting bad at, people listening. So I got mine delivered through Postmates. And I had it for breakfast. And I was excited to have it for breakfast. But every time I've gotten it, cold base. Very cold.

Okay. Very cold base. The reason I asked, I had it delivered. The fucking hot, cold base. It was not super cold. It was, I'd say normal cold. Normal level of cold. I didn't remark on the coldness one way or another.

How to deliver it. My first thought on the pressed experience was that they have an almost comically limited menu in terms of bowls. Which is, they have three bowls. One is called like the classic. One is the power and one is the super fruit or super food. Super food. Yeah.

Super food. And they literally, it's like, to me, you know, when someone in like a sitcom or a cartoon wants to disguise themselves and they just put on the glasses with the mustache. Yeah. Yes. The differences between the bowls are in one, they add almond butter and almonds.

And in one, they add goji berries. And other than that, they are identical. Like I've never seen a menu that limited but presented to you as if it was three separate things. I got the classic or whatever the most basic one was. My wife, again, I wanted to bring her up but there were no opportunities. She tried the power bowl, the one with the almond butter. I thought the classic was pretty good.

The fruit was fresher. There was more granola. It was less syrupy. So I thought that was fine. I tasted the almond butter. I think that was better. I liked having that almond butter. I liked having the almonds in there.

The almond butter goes a long way. Yeah. It goes up really well. Definitely. I think you got to have, in my opinion, on an acai bowl, you need some type of nut butter, whether it's almonds, peanut, wiger, whatever. Zebra.

Zebra. All right. Whatever, whatever kind. You need one. Now, I mentioned earlier we'd get to my wife's reaction to this acai bowl. We ordered this for breakfast. And also, my wife, in the stories I've told on this podcast, sounds insane but I swear she is far more normal than me.

But she tried her acai bowl, did not spit it out, but said, let me find what she actually said. I wrote it down. She said, something is going on here and then literally left our apartment. She tasted it, said something is going on here and then left. I think to get other food. Oh, and I forgot to mention, when she tried the acai bowl from Jamba, she hated it so much,

she walked around going, I need something else to like cleanse my palate. So I truly think this might be a cilantro type situation going on. Yeah, it could be. There's just some gene that is active on the acai. But yeah, I thought these were pretty good. And the fruit, it was one of the better strawberries that I've had in a while. The strawberries on my bowl were excellent. Wow.

And then, oh sorry, I forgot to mention, when we got the first bowl, the acai bowl, which is purple, my wife said, this looks like Jake Selley painted himself purple. And then, and then not it in it. Yeah. Which people maybe don't know that if you, notting is the color of your skin, but if you do paint your skin any color, it will. Yeah, if you have like body paint.

Like if you're like rooting for like the Cincinnati Bengals, and you paint yourself orange with tiger stripes, then you'll have tiger stripe jizz. Yeah, you're gonna have an orange now. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, if I can't get a zebra for my Santa oaky cookie, I'll invite a Bengals fan over, so I can get the two tone. Like when Hulk is in Hulk form, he nuts green when he's Bruce Banner as well.

Yeah, right. Superhero who's fingers I wouldn't mind being compared to is Hulk. He's got big, big gaping hands. You know what? Yeah. It seems like it was almost as Mr. Freeze got a hold of our acai balls wigs. It's true. And also, wouldn't mind Mr. Freeze's fingers either.

I said a thing. Penguin, you know, penguins, the one you don't want. Yeah, I said a thing earlier. I think that kind of got buried, but you said it was a cold base. And I said reminds me of Hoth. And I just thought like I should probably. It's good to say that again because I thought I didn't hear that. I didn't hear that.

I'm glad we went back for that. Yeah. You know, I went to the Empire Strips Back. Did we talk about this? No, you didn't. I went to the Empire Strips Back. This was a burlesque show. What is a burlesque show about Star Wars?

Zach had the same question. He said he said something like I'm going to the Empire Strips Back. And I said, is that a chicken strips place? And he said, no, it's a Star Wars burlesque show. It's a Star Wars burlesque show. And I went with a friend. And it was a blast. Wow.

It was great. And it's like the first scene is like Han coming out as on Hoth. It's a lady. That's cool. As Han coming off as Hoth. She strips down. She strips down nothing. She gets inside of the fucking, what's it called?

Not the Wampa. I know what you're talking about. The things stink. Yeah, I know what you mean. I stink. Ponton. The animal. Thank you.

That's animal. It was great. The revenant style. The revenants. Yeah, if you, hey, if you get a chance to see Empire Strips Back, go check it out. It was great. I heard that before intermission Yota comes out and he's like,

green juice I shoot like my skin. Honestly, not that crazy. I heard that after, after intermission Yota comes out and says, wife, my. Well, look, which bowl is going to win? We're going to find out right after this break. We'll be back with Lord Doe Boys. Hey you, you craving fresh, delicious, easy meals, try wild grain.

Do it. Welcome back to DOBOYS. We're here for Munch Madness Bowl with Zach Cherry and it's time to determine who is moving on. Here are the categories. I'll read them all down and then we'll each go through one at a time and pick our winner in that individual category. The categories are greens, grains, protein, dips slash dressing, bowl, silverware slash drinks slash bread slash treat, which is the Pali category, portions, which is the Oscar category, Oscar Montoya added, and Zach, if you'd like, would you like to add your own category?

Do you think there's anything missing? Yeah, Na'vi category. Okay, Na'vi. Wow, this is great. The Zach category. And just to clarify, then we separately decide who wins after this. Yeah, I mean, because these are like who's winning each individual, you know, some category. Then we say which one gets the strike. Yeah, which one. And then three strikes in your in, also two strikes you're in. Because oftentimes it will be a cumulative effect of which one you liked in all those different categories, but sometimes it'll be like, you know what, this one just had enough in this category that I'm going to give it a strike. Also, we should explain to him what happens to the, if you win, the winner gets sent to

the dude from the Big Lebowski. That's right. And he uses it to resurrect Donnie. Yeah. And then if it loses the gutter ball, and it goes to the man. It goes to the man. Because there's so often workplace lunches. It's like, oh, the man. Just kind of a stand in for like the, you know, the honoris boss, the corporate figure. Yeah. Okay. I assume it was a reference to another, another movie from 1995. The thing about Tom Cruise, you know, he's always playing like a man. Yeah. It's like that character is a man. Other characters are a man. Yeah. It's a massive, massive man. What's going on with this guy?

And also both good with him. That's true. Anyways, and then a, um, anyways, Wags, I just want me to go first. Wow. Yeah. Give me the categories. All right. First category, Mitch greens. Well, it's not really greens. Is it greens or grains? Greens. Greens is the first category. So there's no really green. So I'll put this over to fruit. Okay. Um, how about I'll make it green slash fruit? The fruit for I'm going to need a separate, separate one for greens and fruit. Okay, good. So, so, so fruit will be its own category. We'll add that one.

Okay. So, so greens, both get zeros tie. Got it. For fruit, fruit, honestly, Jamba impressed me with their fruit, but better than expected, there's no doubt that pressed has the better fruit that goes to, this one goes to pressed, goes to pressed. Wow. Next category, fruit. No. Okay. This one goes to pressed. Okay, got it. Next category, grains. Okay. So neither of them have grains. So, I mean, do you consider the granola grain? I don't know. That's a sack. Do you want a separate category? Okay. Okay. So for grains, both get zeros for grains.

Got it. It's a tie. So now on to the granola category. Now on to the granola category. Both good. Honestly, Jamba had a good outing, but it can't be pressed. Pressed is pressed as pressed wins it. There's a better nice cinnamon taste to their granola. So for the granola category, this one goes to pressed. Protein is your next category. Okay. So there was no protein in either bowl. I think the nut butter is your protein. Okay. All right. Nut butter counts. Okay. Got it.

Unless you want to do a separate category for nut butter. Okay. All right. Yeah. Okay. So, okay. So for protein, it's a tie. They both don't get a point. It's a tie, zero, zero for that one. But for, what is it now? Nut butter. For nut butter. This is tough because I love the taste of my peanut butter in my Jamba juice bowl. It was good. It was good. It was real good. But it was a chunky strawberry bowl and you didn't get enough of that strawberry taste if we're talking base. Is there a base category?

There isn't a base. I mean, there's dip slash dressing. Okay. That might have to be base. I'm thinking about the Megan trainer song all about that base, obviously. So all about that base. All about the base. No dressing. So that should be its own. We're saying base should be dip slash dressing slash base. Well, let's ask that. I think there should be a Megan trainer category. Okay. Megan trainer, aka base.

Okay. So for the nut butter category, just to let you know, the nut butter category, I think this goes depressed again because they have the really great almond butter. It really works well together. But I really liked that peanut butter in the, but again, it was a chunky strawberry. So now I'm about to move on to the Megan trainer. Yeah. No, dip slash dressing. Okay. Dip slash dressing, well, zeros for both. Okay. And then the next category is Megan trainer. Okay. The base. Okay. The base. Okay.

I'm going to give this to Jamba. Wow. Huge win. Wow. That is huge. In the Megan trainer category, which are we going to ask this on other episodes that aren't smoothie bowls? When we add a category, it stays in. I mean, so I think, yeah, we're just, we're just growing categories here. Here's also, this is also telling of this episode. You have to. The clock, yeah, we have to.

It's in. Look, it's in. And Zach, this is just telling of this episode, but the clock we use to time us has run out of batteries. I think it was, I think the clock was listening to the podcast. And it happened in yourself. The timer clock has run out of batteries. The base, this goes, I'm giving it to Jamba. I'm shocked. I'm shocked. Look, again, it's supposed to taste like strawberry, but too cold. Mr. Freeze, the villain who has fingers like me.

Too cold. Freezes up those bowls too much. Next category. Bowl. Bowl. Bowl. Mr. Freeze last featured in a 1996 movie. There's young kids out there who don't know Mr. Freeze. No, I don't think so. That's sad. I mean, because like the Batman canon is like, so it was all like Dark Nighty and people were just thinking about the stuff that happened in Dark Knight and then now the Batman. Bring back Freeze.

I love Mr. Freeze. Great villain. Great Batman, the animated series. All right. What's my next category? Bowl. Bowl goes to Prest. Both, actually both pretty good. Oh, you already did this. Sorry. I like this. I like the, oh, well, this gets to utensils. Sorry. Next category. Silverware slash drink slash bread slash treat. Didn't get a drink or bread or treat from either place, but I did get a spoon from both of them and as a spoon man,

I like that pressed spoon quite a bit. We got a nice orange spoon with Jamba, but that pressed spoon is like nice fucking high quality spoon. It also feels like more environmentally friendly to hope all the packaging all together. It does. And so I'm going to press for that as well. Next category. Portions. Wow. The Uncar Plot category. Yeah. This is Oscar's edition. I kind of like, but yeah, we'll call it the Uncar Plot.

This is a tie. They both, they both, they both do a dwell here. Good portions. I wish there was almost a, I wish we both got kind of, I got small for press and we both got smalls today for, I guess it was only one side. Oh, you know what, pressed wins. Cause they actually offer two sizes. So press gets the point. I wish that they had a bigger bowl at Jamba and I wish almost pressed had like a medium bowl between the large and small, but wow. Final category, Navi. This is really tough because look, if you're just judging it off of Nick's bowl,

Jamba wins in a landslide. But if you're talking about the, the, the Megan trainer category again of, of pressed, the base is a nice purple, that acai bowl. It is a nice purple. So that's kind of looks like something that would exist on Avatar. On Pandora? Yeah. On Pandora. I'm sorry. On Pandora. It's almost, it's almost bioluminescent. So I'm kind of like, what do I do? And I didn't get your bowl,

but I think I still got to go Jamba for that, that blue bowl. That's the avatar from the avatar that it wins hands down. I think you're right. All right. I'll speed through the mind real quick. Green's not applicable. Fruit, I got to go pressed. Just better quality. Grain's not applicable. Granola. I'm going Jamba. I feel like I liked some of the textures I was getting from that one a little better. Protein not applicable. Unless you know what we want to count like the yogurt. I think there was a little bit more protein.

Can we count that or should we have a separate category for it? I think we need a yogurt category. Okay. Protein not applicable. Yogurt. And then Mitch, we're going to need your take on yogurt as well. Yogurt I'm going to give to, I think the, I think what I had in press was a little better. I'm going to say quickly, I'll give my answer right now. Yogurt category. Is that allowed?

Yeah, go ahead. Okay. Yogurt category. I'm going to give it to pressed as well. It was good. Nut butter. I don't think I got much nut butter in my version of pressed. I don't think it was like it was nut butter forward. I mean like the superfood bowl, the thing is, I'll look at the ingredients again. The superfood one is, no, it's like leaning agave and coconut cream. There's not like a nut butter in here. So I think the Jamba wins by default, at least from having yours, which was quite tasty in terms of, in terms of it's nut butter.

A next category in my notes here, dip slash dressing not applicable. Megan trainer, aka the base. I just feel like your, the best base I had was from your bowl, your Jamba bowl. I think that gives a Jamba because I don't think the, I didn't like how cold the bowl was, the base was from pressed and it's kind of, that one was also kind of inert and flavorless. This is a good outing by Jamba. This is going to be an upset is what I'm freaked out about. We're going to find out. Bowl pressed is just better. I mean, it's like, it's just like, it's a little dinky plastic bowl. It feels, it feels shoddy that you're

getting, it feels like you're in a Panda Express order, honestly, from, from pressed. Environmentally friendly, more impressed. I'm sorry, I meant, I meant from, from Jamba. Jamba's just got to, you know, whatever you're, if you're going to be like this, this sort of like, Hey, we're a healthy chain and have that be your marketing, just have a little bit of a, you know, get on board with like the cardboard biodegradable compostable shit. Yeah, give me a cardboard bowl. Silverware slash drink slash bread slash treat. I guess it's really just silverware here. I think the, I think, I think pressed is

better. Uncarplut, aka portions. I guess pressed wins by default. I don't feel strong. Also, I'm just thinking of price point four per portions, but they're not either. I mean, pressed is expensive, and then Jamba isn't cheap. They're both fucking expensive. Both these places are pretty penny. Finally, Navi. Hi, it's this is, this is, it's the first thing I thought of when we saw the fucking humor. I said it when we got that fucking, you know, those bowls from Jamba. I was like, it looks like fucking Jake fucking Jake sully fucking nutted in here. And you know what, with how large they are physically, that's about the size of his load. You think that would

be one single load, one load, one Navi load. Jesus Christ. They're all fucking Peter North up there. I feel like he'd fill up a couple of those. The big gulp to the brim. Jesus. Again, don't give me a Kleenex. Give me a beach towel. I shoot big loads up there. I couldn't fill up a fucking Pepto Bismol cap. Okay, you got a monopoly thimble for you. All right, I'll give you the categories one by one, Zach. First up, okay, greens. Greens I'm going to give to Jamba because blue is kind of close to green. Okay, fair. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Next up, fruit. Fruit pressed. The strawberries were

some of the best strawberries I've had in a while. That fruit is really high quality. Greens. Greens I'm going to give to Jamba because it was a little greenier the texture. That's a good observation. It is a little greenier. It is a little greenier. It's a great observation. Next up, granola. I was distracted because Casey is trying to bring our timer back to life. I can only start it over, but that's all right. I mean, I've got my own. I got a backup stopwatch. We're sitting, we're sitting ready. Don't stress out. A granola next category, Zach. Granola. I'm going to go with pressed simply because it had more. Got it. Protein. Protein, I'm going to go with Jamba because it's mostly in shopping malls, which are more protein.

Good point. That's fucking good. That's good. Yeah, it's good. Can't argue with it. Next up, yogurt. Okay. Yogurt. I didn't have one with yogurt, so zeros across the board. All right, but you might have had one with nut butter next category. Nut butter is going to go to press. Their almond butter bowl was a big hit. I wish I'd gotten that one, but I want to try something different. Megan trainer. Oh, I'm sorry. I skipped over dip slash dressing. That's important. You got it. Dip slash dressing. That I'm going to give zeros. No, you know what? I'm going to give 10 to both. Wow. Okay. I like that.

Megan trainer is the next category, aka the base. Megan trainer. In the Megan trainer category, I have to go pressed. It was a better base. Wow. To me. Bowl. And now, sorry, bowl is just the literal bowl. Yeah, the functional dish you are eating out of. I have no memory of either bowl, so that's a tie. 10. Okay. Great. I washed out my Jamba Juice bowl and put it in recycling. You just tossed yours in trash. I just want to let the world know. Is that recyclable? I don't think so. Yeah. That's the thing is, I don't want to clutter up the recycling bin, because even single-use plastic bottles are marginal,

but I don't want to clutter up the aluminum. Is it a five? Is it one of the five? Recycle five, which means they just throw it away. Yeah, I think it's going to end up in a landfill, regardless. But yeah, you were conscientious. I tried. I'll give you that. Next category, silverware slash drinks slash bread slash treat. Should we? I'm sorry. I know this is Adam Pally's category, but should those all be separate categories? Oh my God. No. I think they probably should. Okay. I think they should. All right. Fair. That's fair. But they can all still be named for Adam Pally. Great. So that'll be the Pally categories, plural. The Pally run. Yeah. So what are they again?

Silverware, I guess. I already judged on silverware, which was for pressed. Yeah, I judged on silverware, and I also gave it for a press. So silverware, Zach, your thoughts? Also pressed, because I ate at home, so I used my own spoon. Okay, great. That's big. Drinks. It's an NA for me. NA for both for both for me. So tie. Zach drinks. NA, same tie. NA. Bread. NA, tie for me. Yeah, it's a tie for me. I got to say that's a tie. Okay. And then, and then finally treat. Treat. I think I'll, yeah, treat. I treat. I think I'll say it's a tie. It's, yeah, it's a tie, but it's also good that we broke these up. But yeah, it's a,

the treat. It's a tie for me and a tie for me. Unless you want to think about treat in like a larger, which look, I'm just throwing it out there. There could be two treat categories. Sure. Yeah. This is a treat. And then this is also a treat. And then did I get a treat? Yeah. So it's up to you, Zach, if you want to break treat down into two categories. Okay, so for the first one treats, I didn't have any treats. So that's a tie. And then for the second one for, for, oh, what a treat. I'm going to have to say that's a tie for that one. Wow. You know what? I have the exact same and it is now canon treat is two categories. Okay. For a sweet treat,

nothing. So it's a tie and a, you could say for treat, I also will go a tie. I thought both were a nice treat. For treat, I will say as a tie, neither I did not get a treat from either location. And then treat, is this a treat? I would say, honestly, Jamba felt like more of a treat. Wow. Felt like, felt like kind of almost like a cheat. It was like, oh, this is pretty, this is pretty good. I'm nervous about an episode coming. Let's see what happens. We'll see what happens. All right. So then, sorry, do you think we should add, do you think we should add a treat Williams category for which ball we think treat Williams would like more? I just for the sake of being comprehensive, I think that's a good idea. Okay. I think treat Williams is a man of the people,

I think that he would like Jamba more. So I'm going Jamba for that category. Yeah, treat Williams. I think treat Williams is probably, honestly, I think I disagree. I think treat Williams is probably conscious, like very health conscious, and would go with what appears to be more nutritious, which is pressed. Okay. And I, I will admit, I know that treat Williams is a guy, but I don't know who he is. So I don't know. I don't know which one he would like more. So that's a tie. Yeah, that's a tie. Treat Williams. I think it's an important category. Yeah, he's, he's, he's on blue Bloods now. Got a recurring role on blue blood. So that's something. I'm trying to remember,

think of his most famous roles. He was in that Ted Kennedy movie. Blue Bloods. What does that sound like? Jake Sully cut himself. Treat Williams played treat Williams on the Simpsons, Mitch. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, self cameo. 2012. So like season. Wow, was I not there? I think you were maybe not there anymore. Miss congeniality too. It wasn't more recent than 2012. Are there any categories Zach has left to say or no? He's in Mulholland falls, of course. Stop being fucking treat Williams. I was just looking as IMDB. I should remember what's the big, the big, the big treat Williams role. Anyway, don't you have to be home by five? Yeah, I'm honestly like, I'm, I'm the one who's got the out today and I'm,

You're fucked. That's going to be fine. Final category is, Oh, there's another category. Wait, do we do? Oh, Uncar Plut. We get two more categories. Uncar Plut, AK Portions. Yeah. That goes to press for the same reasons. They actually have options. And then finally, Navi. This is your category. Navi, I'm going to have to say is a tie. Wow. Okay. Well, as Mitch said, this year's version of the McKenna conundrum proposed by Jessica McKenna in the first tournament of champions, which one of these burgers we just send to the aliens, is which of these bowls is going to the dude to bring Donnie back to life.

And we're going to decide by counting down from three and saying, And also you can feel free to say, do it in a dude voice. That is also an option. Yeah. You can say you're the winning chain in a dude's voice. You don't have to, but it's How does the dude sound? The dude is like, my wife, my wife. Yeah. That's like one of his things that he says. So like, you know, if you want to throw one of those in there, you can. Okay. Yeah. All right. We're going to count down from three and you're on a little bit over the light. So it's okay. It's not exactly the same, but we're all going to try our best to say in unison, which of these we think is going to win,

what's going to move on and survive to bite another day in much madness bowl. Counting down from three, two, one. I don't know. Wow. Zach went Jamba. But can I be honest? I think that all of the bowls tasted exactly the same and there's no possible way to really discern between us. IE bowls and to really pick is a betrayal of the truth. Wow. That was so close to being a Jamba because I was like, I'm going to just go. I mean, I was considering Jamba, but I think overall product was a little bit higher quality at, and I think it's also more in the spirit of what these, what is being offered in terms of like

a bowl being a meal. Man, the 710 split decision for. Yeah, 710 split decision goes in favor of pressed, pressed moving on. We'll face the winner of the Rumbly's region, Chipotle versus Yoshinoya. Oh my God. And that episode is coming next in the Doe Boys Double Feed. So whichever one wins from that one is going to face pressed juicery in the semi soft finals. Wow. Do you remember how earlier I was like, oh, shit. When I found out I ate yogurt. Yeah. That will be the scenario with, first of all, Chipotle, I like a lot. I'm going to say I like Chipotle. It gives me the Rumbly's all the time. And to Yoshinoya will make us feel like shit. That's disgusting. Yoshinoya is very heavy. I'm not necessarily looking forward to getting Yoshinoya, but I'm also kind of am. I'm

kind of excited about it too. I haven't had in a long time. I haven't had it in a long time. I haven't had it since we did it. Just like a restaurant about your feedback. Let's up with the feedback. And hey, we have a voicemail today. Emma, do you want to play that voicemail for us? Yeah. I just really wanted to just real quick flush this. Oh, that's right. Thank you, Emma. Thank you, Emma. Yeah, that's what we forgot because the, to get to the man, the losing chain. It goes, it's a gutter bowl. It's a gutter bowl. It goes down into a toilet and then flushed to the man. And then it gets flushed to the man. He lives in hell. Emma, thank you for remembering that bit of business because we forgot it last time too.

I didn't know that, so I want to change my answer depressed because I think, wow, wow. That's huge. That is huge. So no longer a seven, 10 split decision. Yeah, it's an, it's unanimous. Three strikes. You're in. This sucks. Anyway, here's a voicemail. Hey, dough boys. Emma, Amelia, this is Max in Montana. I grew up in Houston and my friend crew and I used to bet Jack in the box tacos with, with each other. You could build up Penn and then cash them in. In modern day, I've been on sporting matchups with friends across the country with the winner getting a store bought rotisserie chicken that's sent to you on a delivery app.

It peaked this year with me getting four rotisserie chickens from Safeway with my friend reverse pranking me by sending them on Halloween. So in my front room, I had a bowl of candy and four rotisserie chickens as neighborhood kids were coming and getting candy. It was pretty funny, but my question is, have you ever gambled with any fast food items or an expensive dinner or something like that? Have any running bets going and what's your greatest food payoff if you ever have? Love the show. I'm visit Montana sometime. Wow, big sky country. Big sky. Land of Coach Phil Jackson. Yellows. No, is Yellowstone in where is that Texas? No, Yellowstone is up that area. Is it big sky? I forget the park is, the park I think spans a couple of neighboring

states, right? It's like Wyoming and Montana. My ass is so sore. I don't know why. Maybe because I walked and then sat on the, I shouldn't have brought this up. Do you mean like you're, do you mean like muscle, like your glutes or do you mean like your whole? Like, no, not my whole, my Jesus. No, not my whole. The whole is next week after the brumbly. My cheeks. Was there something about Yellowstone that made you think about your ass? Yeah, what happened? You were thinking about a great looking ass in that show. Yeah, yeah. That's what it was. Costner's got a perfect ass. Yeah, it's pretty good. It's been sore. I don't know. I don't know what, maybe it's his sweatpants. I never wore sweat

pants in the studio before. I don't know. How would that make your ass sore? I don't know. I don't get it either, but my ass is sore. I think it maybe is just, he had a long walk. You got a lot of steps. Yeah, I got a lot of steps. They can have, they can wear out your glutes. Did you stretch? No. You got to stretch in. I never stretch. Come on. You got to stretch. You got to stretch. Stretch is for dorks. All right. I stretch. You think I'm a dork, Mitch? Yes. Prove my point. Zach, do you stretch? No. Wow, he's cool. You know what I stretch? These sweatpants out when I put them on. That's what I stretch. That's all the stretch that I'm doing. I thought you were pointing at your hog. I've tried that too. It doesn't work.

Joking doesn't work. It doesn't work. Don't buy the hype about jelking. It does not work. It doesn't work. Yeah. It'd be nice if it worked. We all wish it worked. We all wish it worked. Trust me. Yeah. I've got to dark places. I've tried some things. They don't work. Zach, I got to tell you, we're going to bleep this part. Emma, we're going to bleep this part, so bleep incoming. You can't wait until the episode is almost over. You can't wait until the end of the episode. I said I was going to tell him on the episode. I want to hear what his reaction is to it. Okay. My godfather son owns Fat Cat Restaurant. He's going to do... Whoa. No. Actually, we don't have to bleep anything now. I'll tell him what the idea was

afterwards. Emma, can we maybe bleep it to make it seem like I told him the idea and that's... Okay. Okay. Perfect. Yeah. But then make sure you take this part out or others people would know what we did, so you can't have this in. I'm just going to replace the whole episode with a big bleep. Okay. That's good. That's a good call. I do have food gambling. You do. I do have food gambling. I have a food gambling problem. When I was in college, I've told this before we were doing the grande meal challenge, but we used to always bet on stuff like that. It's like, can you eat an entire grande meal, which back in the day was not easy. Yeah. Because I think it was five hard tacos, five soft tacos, maybe four hard tacos,

four soft tacos, and then two bean and cheese burritos, and then not just Bel Grande and then a Mexican pizza. I'd probably be better at it now. That's good. I could maybe do it. We did it, and then Luke Michaels, my buddy, Luke, one of the poofs. Sure. He did it, and he got it all down. Then on the way home, he threw up. Then my other friend, there was a Kong triple whopper and at Burger King, he doubled the meat, and we were like, I bet you can't get a Kong triple whopper and double the meat. I bet you can't eat it. We went down to do it, and he asked to double the meat, and they just gave him one more patty. That was kind of a bummer. But he did, I think he ate the four, which I think I could eat a four patty pounder, couldn't you?

You absolutely could. It would be tough, but I could do it. No. I will say that when I was at my fittest in my life, I was at college, and I was at college then briefly for a stretch after college, where I was running a ton. I ran the LA Marathon at a certain point, and I was like, almost 50 pounds lighter than I am now, and very lithe, very wiry. There's Trumpy diversity, right? Yeah. Me and Gates, we were shared a dorm. So I had this incredible metabolism at the time, and there was a point where, this is not the answer to the question, but just following off of what you said. Yeah. I had a, at one point, I kept eating more and more food in an outburger, and one time I got

two four by fours, which is a double double with two patties, and two orders of fries, and took it all down. That's pretty impressive. There's a lot of food. I wasn't super full, because I was just like running a ton and like fucking lifting weights and shit. Zach, I don't know if you have an answer, but beyond that actual gambling on food with my college, with my college crew of friends, which maybe people don't know as well as the Quincy crew of friends. Right. Let's hear their names. Let's hear all their names. Kinkle, Eddie Kinkle, me and Edie Kinkle, and one of the poofs, Joe Aranda. Which poof did I meet?

Oh, you met Luke, Michaels. I thought it was Luke, or yeah. Luke, yeah. We went to house of prime wood, Bribe, me and Eddie Kinkle, and Joe Aranda, and we did credit card roulette, which is a big thing with my college friends, where you would, you put everyone's credit card in a hat. Yeah. And then you have the waitress or waiter pick the server, pick the credit card, and then whoever they pick has to pay for the meal. That's a fun game. You just got to make sure whoever that is is like down to like leave a good tip. Yeah, sometimes people don't, oh, yeah.

You know what I mean? Like you don't want to be like the person who's like, ah, fuck, and they're kind of pissed off and they just leave like the minimum or whatever. Yeah, you got, yes, yes. It's better played amongst adults, I guess, than like teenagers. Yeah. I mean, we wouldn't do it much in college. We did it a little bit, but like, as adults when we've gotten together, we like, we went, we had a 10-year reunion and then like, we picked a few cards. Sometimes, you know, it's fun. You pick all the cards and the last card is the one. If you have, if you have a server who's down to have fun and do it with you, when you're giving a good tip, but credit card roulette is a fucking blast.

There was a, this was a post in the Dose Score, just speaking of a fun waiter, of a waiter who was like trying to be fun. People were just posting, I don't remember who this was, so apologies for not crediting them. But they said a waiter went up to their table and told them the, what's the difference between jam and jelly joke? Do you know this joke? No. The waiter was trying to be funny and like, I looked it up and I was like, this joke is, it is ribald. This is not appropriate for a server to be saying in a restaurant. Well, say the damn joke. Do you, do I, do you want me to say this? It's pretty gross. We need to hear the joke. It's a, it's a blue joke.

Is it grosser than this podcast? I mean, you be the judge. All right, let's hear it. Is it bluer than, than Jake Sully's nut? It's a great question. It depends on if it's blueberry jam and jelly, but here's, here's the, here's the joke. I looked it up. What's the difference between jam and jelly? What? You can't jelly a cock up your ass. That's nasty. Yeah, I didn't like it. That's perfectly on brand. But I hear waiter said that to you at like TGI Fridays and be like, what is going on here?

I don't want to hear that shit. Bring me a fucking some mozzarella sticks. And that just also just feels like a misread. Cause like, I mean, maybe if you're a bartender, like you've been saying nasty stuff for like, like, oh, there's, these are, these are like college kids who are making crass jokes. Is that a Chuck E. Cheese? This is, that is, that is gross joke. Crazy. I don't even think it's accurate. You can absolutely jelly a cock up your ass. Zach, great point. That's a great point. Great point. The jump doesn't work. I think preserves might land a little better.

You can't preserve. You can't preserve a cock up your ass. Also, I'm pretty sure that the, the waiter didn't say cack. I think that's a weiger. That's pretty sure it's a weiger edition. Zach, you ever gamble with food in any context? I have not. The closest, the closest I've come is that the credit card roulette situation. If I was going to gamble with food, I don't know why, but for some reason, those Burger King chicken fries or what popped into my head is the perfect thing to gamble or yeah, like if you were at a poker game, you could throw those in the pot, you know,

thinking of like Roseanne's opening where Roseanne takes all the checkers at the, is there pizza in that scenario? Maybe they're getting pizza. I can't remember what, what's on the table. Roseanne is back, got a new special on, on the Fox streaming app. Yeah. Got field live. We got there too. A lot of great stuff. Pretty good app. Pretty good app. You can check it out. These Doughboys YouTube videos are going to go on the Fox news app at some point. I have one specific memory related to this. I don't, this isn't a thing I do a lot. It's, it seems fun. The credit card roulette seems fun if I'm with a large party or something,

but I, I do remember in Boy Scouts once. So the Scoutmasters had made the, like they'd like cook dinner. I think it was, sometimes the Scouts would cook dinner, sometimes the Scoutmasters would cook dinner and that we had boxed mac and cheese as part of it. And for some reason they didn't use all the mac and cheese packets. And so there was just some leftover like, like, you know, just packets from like, you know, six boxes they made in one. And they were just like, oh, we only need four packets or whatever. And then there were also some pop tarts, like leftover pop tarts from breakfast. Again, it's, it's, it's, it's insane that this is what they were feeding Scouts on a fucking camp out, just pure garbage. Yeah. But

anyway, I got one story after this. We were, we were gambling. I think we're playing Magic the Gathering, but it might have been just regular old boring ass cards. And we ended up gambling like, like, I'll put some pop tarts in the pot, put some mac and cheese. And I was like, so wanted some mac and cheese powder. And let me tell you, a dry mac and cheese powder on its own. Not as much of a treat as I thought it would be. No, no, not very fun. That's the only thing. The mac and cheese powder. Did you also, did you like try to cash out as soon as you had mac and cheese powder? This reminds me of when I was, when I played basketball as a very young boy, I was when I was like, it was like a church league. You know, like the Catholics would

play the Protestants or whatever. That's not true. But I was on, I was on a church league, which by the way, they eventually traded me to like enough. They basically traded me to another team for nothing. You got traded. They got me like off the trade in church directly. They traded me to another team. Like one year they were like, you're just on a different team now. So I got traded to like a worse team for, for, for, for basically, you have to go to a different church. I like went on a different night. It was like I got traded to for nothing to do in a worse team. They just sent me to a worse team. And I was like the worst basketball player. I love the sport. I love watching it. But a horrible basketball player. And I remember

Mr. Foley was like, we didn't had it won a game at all. He's like, if you win this last game, we're getting pizza. Like that was like the bet. And then we lost the last game. And he was like, we're getting pizza anyway. He brought us out for pizza. I mean, he's got it at that point. He's got it at that point. But like, we didn't come through on our side.
