Synopsis[]
The 'boys welcome comedian and actor Jessica Jean Jardine (Comedy Bang! Bang!, Kar Dishin' It) as they discuss hummus, wedding caterers, and their recent experience at Greek restaurant chain Daphne's. Plus, the heat is turned up for another segment of Hot or Not.
Nick's intro[]
In Greek mythology, Apollo, the God of Light, is among the most powerful of the deities. The son of Zeus and Leto, and the twin of sister Artemis, Apollo was said to have taught mortal men the science of medicine, but he was hardly a paragon of virtue.
Apollo pursuing Daphne
Apollo insulted Eros, more commonly known by his Roman name Cupid, leading the true-bit God of sexuality to shoot him with a golden arrow causing Apollo to fall wildly in love with a naiad, or water nymph. Eros then shot a second arrow into the new target of Apollo's affection, imbuing the nymph with a deep hatred of her would-be beau.
Driven mad by desire, Apollo pursued the naiad relentlessly, leading the nymph to cry out to the river God Peneus, "Open the earth to enclose me, or change my form, which has brought me into this danger! Let me be free of this man from this moment forward!"
Peneus answered her pleas, transmuting her into a laurel.
So desperate was she to evade Apollo's amorous advances, she would choose to discard her human form and become a tree.
Fast forward from the tall tales of ancient Greece to 20th-century California, where in 1991, restaurateur George Katakalidis opened a fast casual Greek concept in the SoCal town of Carlsbad. The Mediterranean flavor profiles and light, healthy fare led Californians to pursue its cuisine like smitten Gods themselves.
Now, with 56 locations across California, Arizona, and Colorado, and plans to franchise nationwide, this Greek restaurant takes its name from the water nymph with whom Apollo fell helplessly in love.

Hot or Not 🔥 / Snack or Wack[]
In Hot or Not, The Doughboys sample particularly spicy foods and decide how hot the food is or is not.
For this episode, they have a variety spicy jalapeño chips.
The scale is from 'Hot Hot Hot' to 'Not Not Not'. They didn't offer their own rankings, they came to a consensus on each one.
Also on the Snack or Wack scale, everyone considered the Lay's and the Tim's to be Snack, and the Pringles to be Wack. Nick and Jessica found the Fritos to be Snack, but Mitch would also make them Wack.
They also try a pack of 4-month old, expired Spring Oreo, which were not not not hot.

| “ | I grew up never drinking soda or other carbonated drinks and because of that, I can't stand carbonation to this day. I've never tried soda of any type in my life and recently tried to ease myself into carbonation because I wish I could drink carbonated drinks, but the bubbles were too big to handle. My question for you is, are there foods or drinks that you wish you could have, but you cannot because there's something else holding you back (not including allergies)? Also, do you have any advice for me, or am I a lost cause? | ” |
