"Best of Enemies with Ross Kimball" is Episode 17 of the premium-content podcast, Doughboys Double, hosted by Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger. "Best of Enemies with Ross Kimball" was released on June 26, 2017.
Synopsis[]
Rocklobsterfest vet Ross Kimball (Masterminds, Mascots) returns to break down an ill-considered fries ranking and to discuss the new sports doc Celtics/Lakers: Best of Enemies.
Fries Ranking 🍟[]
Ross and many others had brought Food Republic's ranking of french fries to Nick and Mitch's attention.
(You can see the website's graphic in the 'Photos' below.)
They talk through it, deciding it is majorly problematic for numerous reasons. Are tater tots fries? Should toppings be on this list? Are shoestring or steak fries better? Does a 50/50 standard/curly combo count?
The discussion is very philosophical and pointless at the same time.
They offer their own top-fives, and their least favorites, of course.
| rank | Nick Wiger | Mike Mitchell | Ross Kimball |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | Standard Cut | Standard Cut | Curly Fries |
| 2nd | Crinkle-Cut | Steak | Standard Cut |
| 3rd | Shoestring | Crinkle-Cut | Tater Tots |
| 4th | Curly Fries | Chips (British) | Waffle Fries |
| 5th | Steak | Curly Fries | Sweet Potato |
| 6th | n/a | Belgian Fries | Steak |
| 7th | n/a | Waffle Fries | n/a |
| last | Potato Wedges | Sweet Potato |

They do a quick run of the 'flavored fries' on the list. Nick likes Chili Cheese Fries the best. Mitch ranks his top three flavored fries as Garlic, Cheese, Chili Cheese, while Ross picks Cheese Fries, Garlic, and then Chili Cheese.
Dinner Is The Movie 🍽️ 📽️[]
In this segment, The Doughboys have a deep-dive discussion about one specific movie.
Best of Enemies
Mitch is a hardcore Boston Celtics fan, and Nick is of course into the Los Angeles Lakers. They are sportos. Best of Enemies is an ESPN documentary about the rivalry between the Celtics and the Lakers, so they give it a watch and discuss their two cities.
They of course then rate it out of 10 basketballs.

| “ | Mitch: The original title for Twister was Potato Tornado. Originally it was going to suck up potatoes and that was a big part of it. Potatoes were knockin' people out, shootin' all over the place. Nick: It was set in Ireland, right? |
