Joe's intro[]

Olympicmedals

Gold, silver, bronze. They're metals, but every two years, they become something else - they become medals: the medals awarded to winners at the Olympic Games, the greatest athletic competition in human history.

When it was first founded in ancient Greece, athletes from across the Athenian countryside gathered to compete for the glory of Zeus. Centuries later, Zeus is gone, but the tradition continues.

Today, thousands of athletes from nations all over the globe compete in hundreds of events, as billions of fans watch from home. For these athletes, years of hard work, dedication, and sacrifice have led to one moment where they will experience the triumph of victory or the despair of defeat.

We never know quite what the games have in store, but two things are always for sure: history will be made, and the world, even in uncertain times such as these, will come together.

Yes, those are the Olympic Games.

And then there is why we're here today: The Doughlympics.

Doughlympics Torch Relay[]

Doughboys intern, Yusong, to kick-off the 2016 Doughlympics, carried a torch bottle of hot sauce from the very first restaurant the Doughboys visited (a Chili's in Encino, CA) to the recording studio. When he arrives, he douses a Taco Bell Shredded Chicken Burrito with the hot sauce, Chairman Susser takes a bite, and the Doughlympics officially begin.

[To note, they've mentioned him a few times, but this is the first real appearance by Yusong on the show. - ed.]

Doughlympics Opening Ceremony Musical Performance[]

Max Mayer performs a drum solo.

Yea I think [that improvised drum solo] has been the only listenable part of this 20 minutes so far.
