Synopsis[]
Paul Scheer (Unspooled, How Did This Get Made?) joins the 'boys to talk movie theaters, Gru, and basketball before tackling the second semi-soft finals of Munch Madness 2023: The Tournament of Chompions: BOWL!
Nick's intro[]

Steph Curry
In the 2016 NBA Western Conference Finals, the Steph Curry-led Golden State Warriors prevailed over the Kevin Durant/Russell Westbrook Oklahoma City Thunder in an instant classic seven-game series. The outcome, which led Durant to live out the cliche “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em,” deserting the Thunder for the Warriors that offseason and then leading Golden State to two championships, proved one of the most earth-shattering in NBA history and arguably the most consequential news story in all of 2016.
Well, history doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes, to quote Mark Twain (though its actual attribution is unknown, but let’s just say Mark Twain). And today, another seismic semi-soft final matchup will be fought out in the Tournament of Chompions.
Squaring up:
- Chipotle, the runaway winner of the Rumblies Region, smothering Yoshinoya’s hopes for a Cinderella run in its crib
- And Pressed, the victor in the Açaí Region, felling fellow smoothie-bowl vendor Jamba in a 7-10 split decision
Who will be the Warriors and potentially birth a dynasty, and who will be the Thunder and slowly dissolve into tanking for draft picks?
This week on Doughboys, the second semi-soft final matchup of Munch Madness 2023: The Tournament of Chompions: BOWL: Chipotle vs. Pressed.
Let's a-go!
BOWL: Rules 📜[]
The rules for this year's Munch Madness 2023: The Tournament of Chompions: BOWL:
- Salad ain't valid. No salads! Bowls only.
- Chili is silly. No simple bowls of chili.
- Stew won't do. Bowl viscosity must be stew-level at minimum. Goop not soup!
- Gru will do. Discussion of Gru at any age is allowed.
- When it comes to strikes, we're at the bowling alley. Strikes are good! Three strikes and you are in.
- Two strikes = a 7-10 split decision and you are also in.
- Drinks are in the gutter. Sides are also in the gutter.
- Cookies are ookie. Cookies cannot be considered, but it must be asked: is Christmas a cookie holiday?
- When it comes to bread, there is more that will be said. Chips are also bread.
- However, drinks are in the nutter. Sides are in the nutter. You can consider sides and drinks. (The Pally rule; amended by Cherry.)
- Silverware and the bowl itself can be factored in to the decision.
BOWL: Semi-Soft Finals 🍲[]
Chipotle has been reviewed three times on Doughboys. First, was way back in the 7th episode, when Nick gave it 5 forks and Mitch 4. (It made the Golden Plate Club, but that wasn't invented yet.) A couple years later, they returned and Nick rated it 4 forks and Mitch kicked it out of the Golden Plate Club with a 3.75. Then in 2020, they went a third time and it fell further with Nick offering it 3.25 forks and Mitch 2.9.
The Doughboys have reviewed Pressed once, six months before in 2022, when Nick and Mitch both rated it 4 forks. It did make the Golden Plate Club.

BOWL: Semi-Soft Finals Winner 🍲[]

The Dude, Donny, and Walter
Which of these bowls are being given to The Dude in The Big Lebowski and is so good that it resurrects Donny back to life?
The winning bowl gets a strike. (Three strikes and you're in. Turkeys are good! But also two strikes is a 7-10 split decision and you advance as well.)
If it loses, it is declared a gutterbowl and is given to The Man.
