"Jamba Juice with Dylan Gelula" is Episode 98 of Doughboys, hosted by Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger, with Dylan Gelula. "Jamba Juice with Dylan Gelula" was released on April 6, 2017.
Synopsis[]
With the Tournament of Chompions in the rearview mirror, Doughboys resume normal operations, as actress Dylan Gelula (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Casual) joins to discuss vegan eating and pseudo health food chain Jamba Juice. Mitch and Wiger debate who's lower-T, and Nerds Rope is under debate in a new Snack or Wack.
Nick's intro[]
Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa
The summer of 1998, America was gripped by Major League Baseball's home-run chase. With hulking superstars Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa both vying to break Roger Maris' record of 61 dingers, sports networks pre-empted their normal programming to air each ball player's at-bat live. By season's end, both had heroically broken the mark and were co-recognized as Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year.
In 2003, Barry Bonds, a once lithe, wiry athlete who oddly developed a massively muscular frame and gigantic head in his mid-30s, again set the record with 73 bombs.
But soon after, the secret to these sluggers' success was revealed: they'd been using anabolic steroids, a process commonly referred to as "juicing," and today, this once Golden Age is now viewed as a dark stain on America's pastime.
But "juicing" had another connotation back in the '90s, as a health-food craze involving liquifying fresh fruit, with juice bars proliferating in strip malls across the country.
And the most successful of those came by way of Cal State San Luis Obispo graduate Kirk Perron, who borrowed money from his mom to open a store called Juice Club. It was a hit with the locals and in short order expanded nationwide, rebranding to drop the "club" concept for a more off-beat and inviting name.
But fruit juicing suffered a scandalous setback of its own.
In 2003, Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution became the Bhagavad Gita for the low-carb craze. As this diet-restricting grain and sugar consumption displaced the long-standing low-fat approach, juice abruptly flipped from being viewed as healthful and nutritious into a vice as dangerous as sugary soda.
Still, like baseball, the business formerly known as Juice Club has persevered and today, it boasts 800 locations across the globe.
This week on Doughboys: Jamba Juice.

| “ | This question is geared a little more towards Nick as he, like myself, is a Creamsman.
The other night my girlfriend brought home a pint of Halo Top chocolate ice cream. Many of her friends have been raving and posting about it recently. Both of us are moderately health-conscious and were excited at the idea of a low-calorie ice cream that dares to do the impossible (actually taste good). We popped it open and each took a spoonful and quickly realized we had been duped. This Halo Top was more like a Play-Dough slop. It had a dry sand-like texture and very little flavor. The following day I read more about this healthy ice-cream craze. There are other brands out there, but Halo Top seems to be leading the pack. What are your thoughts on these kinds of ice cream? |

| guest / host | healthy ice creams |
|---|---|
| Nick Wiger | if you want ice cream, just go for the real thing |
| Mike Mitchell | hasn't had many, but if he wants to eat healthy, he just won't eat ice cream |
| Dylan Gelula | likes them fine; but you have to remember to let it sit out for 15 minutes before eating |
