Nick's Nugget[]
Nick Wiger, striking
[Nick, as a member of the Writers Guild of America, will not be writing intros for the episodes as long as the concurrent WGA strike continues. (Podcasts are not under the WGA purview, but Nick is expressing solidarity.) For more information, go to this website.] Instead, he shares a little nugget of info, his 'neat-o stat of the week.'
- Ten years ago, 33% of TV writers worked for the WGA minimum. Now, 49% make the minimum. This is part of why the writers are striking.
This week on Doughboys, we are talking Kura.
Fork rating[]
Kura is a revolving sushi bar, where small dishes just come along on a motorized counter (and drinks via a thicc robot), so not all the things the Doughboys tried were documented or tracked exactly. If someone mentioned a dish, it is included here however. The four of them took down 49 dishes.
