You're about to hear a special wrap-up episode with Joe Saunders. Make sure you listen to the original episode with Mookie Blakelock, or this one won't make any sense and will be filled with spoilers. Alright wow, welcome to After Dough with Joe. I'm Joe Saunders and this is the Doughboys Doughlympics After Show. Wow, what an incredible, that was just the, we just heard the first week of the Doughlympic games come to a pretty stirring conclusion. Ah, you're right, what an incredible.

I'm here with a special guest, Mike the Spoon Man Mitchell. Special? Yeah, I guess special guest. Yeah, you know our guests will be different each week as we talk about what happened on the show. Oh, okay, interesting. Joe, you and I alone again, like our days over at the Simpsons. Oh yeah, these are pretty much the way our conversations went then too.

Why do they put you and I together? It's like putting like a bullfrog in a room with like a fly. Yeah, I keep thinking you're gonna eat me. Well Joe, after Dough with Joe, we have to talk about this episode. Yeah, I think that's the whole point of this. You know, just to get a little analysis, dig in a little bit more on what happened. Yeah, no, this thing needs to be broken down. Yeah, it's important to figure out what the fuck just happened.

I guess just to catch up our listeners in case they decide to skip right to the after show. Catch up with a K? Yes. This week, the pizza division of the Doughlympics was discussed and debated with some pretty surprising outcomes. How'd you think it went? Poorly.

The pizza division, you know, a big division, I mean, this is the sort of, this is the food that, I mean, arguably maybe some of the biggest chain food that there is. You're ordering pizzas on the weekend, on Friday night, pizza's a fun thing to have delivered. Very important food and chain to talk about. We handled it poorly, but I think the results were actually pretty good. I feel like overall, the end results were kind of spot on. I feel like there were some upsets within the individual competitions, but yeah, I felt

pretty good with where things landed. So just to recap a little bit. We had the overall, the gold going to Pizza Hut. That's right. Classic favorite. And you know, I kind of, I agreed with it. I thought overall Pizza Hut did deserve to win. But you know, we still don't know what the hell we're doing.

So you know, Mookie kind of threw a wrench in with one of his scores and it kind of, I think, Papa John's won the pizza category. Right. There was no clear, there was no Michael Phelps of these events. It was, it was kind of all over the map. Yeah. In fact, Domino's won the gold in three of the categories, Papa John's won a gold. Actually, it's interesting.

Pizza Hut won no golds in the non-overall categories, I believe. Is that correct? It won one gold, is what I understood. Is that correct? We see, this is the issue with this first episode. No one knows. Thumbs up. Did Pizza Hut win a gold?

Commissioner Susser? Commissioner. Thumbs, I didn't win one gold. According to Chairman Susser, he won no gold in the individual events. Oh God, here he comes. Jesus Christ. He has his piece of paper. Well, he won the fuck.

He started to come in and then he, and then he stopped coming in. He shrugged and then did not hear. We heard these, these booths are soundproof, but I heard an audible, hmm, from Susser and he left. Anyways, yeah, that's kind of how things have gone so far. You know, was it chaotic? No, you know, it wasn't as chaotic as I thought it could be, but I did feel like there was something that we got onto there, and I think that maybe we'll take this into the next round

of the Olympics. The thing of a little bit of excitement is the timer, which is a big, if you think of Olympic events, that timer is a big part of all those events. You know, there's a little timer, they time people. It's always going. It's always going, and I think in the next round, we're going to tighten it up. We foolishly gave ourselves 10 minutes to discuss what I believe was wings, the first category.

You can probably help me out there, Joe. It was wings, and oh God, Susser may be coming back in again. He's going back and forth. He's working on a dry erase board right now, frantically scrawling out numbers and crossing them out. But anyway, yeah, so what's the plan going into the next division? So I think that we get to cut those times way down, and we're getting out around two minutes, and we have to come to some sort of consensus really quickly.

Yes. I think that's where a lot of the fun is in this, but also to me, I wouldn't be upset if the games did end after this episode, and we went back to a normal non-Susser podcast. Also you'd be gone too. Sorry, no offense. Well, you know, after Joe, after Joe can continue after the Olympics is done. I don't know, Joe. If you want me to be honest with you, I don't see, you know, like, I just don't see a long

lifespan for after Joe. This isn't, you're not going to become the Chris Hardwick of Doughboys. Susser's holding up a dry erase board. He wrote, wings, Pizza Hut received the gold. Oh, Domino's received the silver. Papa John's received the bronze. So I was right. Well, Susser.

Yeah, Mitch, you're right. The information that I had here that was also provided by Chairman Susser earlier listed Domino's as the gold. Pizza Hut as the silver and Papa John's as the bronze. So he switched Domino's at Pizza Hut. I guess that happens, you know, there's always mistakes in the tallying of the judges' scores in the real Olympics. Yeah, oh yeah.

No, that happens constantly. The numbers get messed up, and when people on the, during the medal ceremony, people have to swatch, swat, oh god, I can't even speak now, fuck these fucking Olympics. I already ate too much food today, just doing the whole pizza thing. It was three slices of pizza, three breadsticks, three chicken wings, and three pieces of dessert. And it was just too much, Joe. That's too much. That's a lot.

It's a lot of food. It's more in the meal than what the championship was. And I'm just hoping that the next round, I don't know what it is, I've heard some rumblings about what it is. I don't know what the next round is, I was hoping you could give us a few hints. Maybe, what have you heard? Is there something just to kind of tantalize the listeners at home? If what I'm hearing, if the rumors I'm hearing from the Olympic floor are true.

Meaning you and Nick and Evan. That's right, and the Olympic floor being my house when we were eating this pizza earlier today. You might be seeing some of the most classic chains that there are coming up next. And I don't know what's going to happen. Is that even too much? Do we have to bleep everything I've just said? You know what?

Who cares either way? You know what? Are people going to listen to After Joe? After Joe. I'm sorry. After Joe with Joe. Is that what we're calling this, or is it going to be called Doe Boy still? It's probably a good idea if it's called Doe Boy, so people will download it.

I actually think that it should be called After Doe with Joe, and it's launched this week, and there's only ever three episodes of it. Well, you know, something to think about. Maybe we'll talk about it afterwards. Joe, what did you think? What did you think of this whole, first of all, why are they making you and I do this? I don't know. I guess kind of just because we have such a rapport.

You know, I am surprised, but also not surprised at how quickly it became so complicated. I thought we'd at least have a week or so before we really got into that, but just open head first this time, and I'm excited to see where we go in the next couple of weeks. Yeah. I'm going to state that the only reason it did become complicated is because Susser just fucked up a bunch of math. It wasn't like chompy and ship. Well, you don't know.

We don't know what's coming up. I think it did, well, it seems to me like it's going to be, you're going to want to keep in mind that the scores can be tallied wrong, and it might be worth it to ask for a recounts or in times. That's what I should keep in mind? I think so. That I should ask for recounts? Well, you know, just from my point of view, here on the sidelines.

You know what, I think our listeners should tune in and let us know if Susser fucks up some of the math, because they can add it up together, they can add it together themselves. That's true. Yeah. How exciting. Yeah. Especially if they can get that in after Doughboyz comes out, but before after Dough goes up, that way we can kind of use some of that, that would be...

So we'd have to film after Dough on a different day? Yes, we'll come back on a different day. I don't think that's going to happen. We'll talk about it. Maybe we can record the same day that we record Max's drum podcast. Stop pitching podcasts, Jesus Christ. Well, Joe, are you happy that you came up here and you got your coat out of a ball in the closet and wore it to this event?

Yeah, so rarely get to wear my sports coat out. So this was a great... I'm really excited to be. I know I kept saying that in the opening ceremonies, but I really am and we'll see if I keep wearing the sports coat. Doughboyz, do you think you might hit up a bar right now with the sports coat and show it off? Walk around a bar?

Yeah. Probably not. Yeah, what's next week? Are you going to go home and bake banana bread? Yeah, I'm going to start preheating the oven tonight for the baking I do next week. Joe, who did you think was going to win going into today? You know, I would definitely think Pizza Hut would be the favorite. Wow, okay.

You know? See, I thought Domino's was going to really pull it off and then... And they did. They won the overall, the most golds, but you know, I got to tell you just from... Like I said before, from the quality standpoint, it was Pizza Hut. I do prefer Domino's if you order the right thing from there. And I'm happy that Puppet John's came in last. Puppet John himself is an asshole.

Right. Nick has a big vendetta against him, which is strange because we both know that he loves Jared Fogle from Subway, but he hates Puppet John, so. So for me already, I feel like there is a little bit of controversy in that Weigar's scores were kind of tainted in that he was kind of swayed by hating Puppet John. Like it wasn't really fair. He wasn't judging the food based on the food, but more on this awful man. Oh, interesting.

You think his votes were tainted a little bit? I do. Personal feelings. Interesting. Well, the human element is important. Oh, really? Yeah. So something to keep in mind as we watched how these next couple of events unfold, do

you think, could you see yourself becoming swayed by personal feelings for the founder? I mean, personal feelings, I have a commissioner or whatever the fuck he is now called Susser. Chairman. Chairman Susser or Weigar? Well, if you were in a Weigar situation and you didn't like the CEO of the company. I'm not going to let that affect my scores because I'm not like Weigar. In the championship, I was the fair and honest one. I was basing my reviews on the burger itself, not on some California bullshit love for In

and Out. And it seems like it's crept in again with Weigar. It's the same thing all over again. I'm deducting big points off because Puppet John is an asshole, which I agree with. I don't think he's a good man. But I mean, come on, you got to be fair with your scores. It's insane. So no, I think that maybe my bias against commissioner was Chairman Susser and Weigar

will maybe come into play because I hate those two. And I want the opposite of what they want to happen to happen. That human element, Joe. Well, Mitch, any final thoughts before we wrap things up? One final thought. Why did we record an after-show? Just like I said, to get kind of an extra, to dig in on what happened and to see what was really going on in people's thoughts.

You guys are out there and you're recording, and who knows why you're making the decisions you are. And then you get back here and we can analyze things a little bit. Joe, I love you, buddy. I think honestly, if you and I were to take over Doe Boys and Weigar was gone, I think we would make a good team. Well, you know, I've got after-do going on, so after-do. All right.

Fine. Good luck with fucking after-do. I was willing to give you Doe Boys itself. Are we going to get any word from, I'm sorry, Chairman Susser? No. Actually, you know what? I'm calling in Commissioner Susser. Fuck that.

I think we've been given the signal to wrap things up. We're kind of at the end, but... Why are they all sitting outside? They should be in here, helping us with this fucking insane wrap-up show. Well, we're trying to just make this more of a one-on-one kind of conversation and not just the typical round table that Doe Boys episode is, you know? Oh, yes. Yeah.

The hard-hitting Joe Saunders. Okay. All right. Joe, I love you, buddy. Thank you. I think it's going to be a fun Dole Olympics. Yeah, I do too. And thanks for being here.

Yeah, thanks for your thoughts. Yeah, thank you for being here, really. Okay. Okay. Well, bye. Bye. Bye.
