"Nugget Power Hour with Nicole Byer & Jon Gabrus" is Episode 100 of Doughboys, hosted by Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger. "Nugget Power Hour with Nicole Byer & Jon Gabrus" was released on April 20, 2017.
Synopsis[]
As Doughboys inexplicably reaches its hundredth episode, two of Mitch and Wiger's favorite guests, Nicole Byer and Jon Gabrus, return to compete in a gut-wrenching challenge: The Nugget Power Hour. Each of the four attempt to eat 60 McDonald's Chicken McNuggets in 60 minutes. Plus, some special messages from ghosts of Doughboys past.
Nick's intro[]
One Hundred Years of Solitude
"Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice."
So reads the opening line of Gabriel García Márquez's classic, One Hundred Years of Solitude.
Colonel Buendía certainly could never have predicted a world where ice was so plentiful, it was dispensed free of charge from machines at every quick service eatery in the country.
Yet such is our reality in 2017 America, and 100 episodes into this humble podcast, we have witnessed sea changes in the world of chains: the release and retraction of Taco Bell's Naked Chicken Chalupa, the westward expansion of Midwest and Southern staples Steak 'N Shake and Cracker Barrel, and the shuttering of much-maligned regional franchise Carrows.
What will the world of chain restaurants look like 100 episodes from now? (If we even survive until then.)
This week on Doughboys, our 100th episode.
Nugget Power Hour ⏲️[]
Traditionally, a Power Hour is a shot of beer every minute on the minute for an hour. Here though, Nick, Mitch, Jon, and Nicole get 60 Chicken McNuggets and a variety of dippin' sauces from McDonald's, and every minute they eat a McNugget (or have a swig of beer).
Who will eat the most? (Is there any doubt?)
| guest / host | count |
|---|---|
| Nick Wiger | 20 |
| Mike Mitchell | 45 |
| Jon Gabrus | 61 |
| Nicole Byer | 15 |
Evan Susser shows up with a special gift: some Chicken Fries from Burger King. They try some, but it cannot count for the Power Hour.

| “ | Hey, it's Paul Scheer. Congratulations to Doughboys, one of my favorite podcasts. You guys are amazing. Nick Wiger. Mark Michaels. Class acts. You really are the Brian and Stewie Griffith of the podcast world.
But just because you are at 100 episodes doesn't mean you can get cocky. No. So I want to read you a one-star review - actually one of your only one-star reviews - from iTunes. And it goes like this: "I just unsubscribed. I used to listen to this podcast for laughs and food reviews. I don't want to listen to politics." So, guys, let that be a note. No more politics unless it's the politics of fast food. Nailed it! Thanks so much, guys, and you can check me out on imdb, just type in Paul Scheer. You can read all the different credits and just hit me up there. Get me a bump on that star meter. |

That's such a great achievement and you guys deserve all your success. And I've thought about it, and I think we should bring back After Dough, maybe it can have its own Patreon this time? OK, bye. | ” |

| “ | Hey, the Doughboys! This is Hayes Davenport. Congratulations on 100 episodes. I remember when we did that - we didn't do this, we didn't ask people to record congratulations for us. But it's fun. It's a fun idea. And, 100 episodes, that's a lot of food so enjoy talking about more food and have a good show about the food. | ” |
