Synopsis[]
Allan McLeod aka Molasses Boy (Who Invited Them, You're The Worst, Drunk History) joins the 'boys to discuss Prince Harry, the Molasses ban, and self-taping before talking dialects in another edition of the Doughscord Doughcision: a new monthly double pitched by listeners on the Doughboys Discord.
What's your Doughelect?[]
Today's episode was pitched by Stinky on the Doughscord: The Doughboys answer questions from the Harvard Dialect Survey, which is a research project that maps variations in dialect around the United States, and a similar Dialect Quiz from the New York Times.
Nick is from the West (SoCal), Mitch from the Northeast (Boston), and Allan from the South (Alabama).

Molasses Ban / Waffle House rating[]
Before getting into the topic, McLeod brings up his controversial ban from The Doughboys which dates back to around May 2019.
For background, check out this episode. Mitch offers McLeod the chance to amend his Waffle House fork score (i.e., give it five forks) and he gives it three forks anyway, possibly removing Waffle House from the Platinum Plate Club (and Golden Plate Club).
