Synopsis[]
For the last review of Octdoughberblessed, Betsy Sodaro (Disjointed, Another Period) joins the 'boys as they discuss their journey from LA to Victorville to visit Cracker Barrel, a chain known for its southern cuisine as well as its on-site general store. Plus, a devilishly hot edition of Hot-or-Not.
Nick's intro[]
A reading from the Quran, chapter 5 "Al-Ma'idah - The Table Spread" verse 3, translated by Talal Itani:
Prohibited for you are carrion, blood, the flesh of swine, and animals dedicated to other than God*; also the flesh of animals strangled, killed violently, killed by a fall, gored to death, mangled by wild animals - except what you rescue, and animals sacrificed on altars; and the practice of drawing lots. For it is immoral. Today, those who disbelieve have despaired of your religion, so do not fear them, but fear Me. Today I have perfected your religion for you, and have completed My favor upon you, and have approved Islam as a religion for you. But whoever is compelled by hunger, with no intent of wrongdoing - God* is Forgiving and Merciful.
This week on Doughboys, the conclusion of Octdoughberblessed, our month-long tour of religious chain restaurants with beloved, yet controversial, Southern restaurant and country store, Cracker Barrel.
- *the translation I found online by this translator lists 'Allah' where Nick read 'God.'

Hot or Not [Hell Yes or Heavens No][]
In Hot or Not, The Doughboys eat a spicy food and decide what level of heat it actually is.
For this Octdoughberblessed episode, The Doughboys tackle the Death Nut Challenge, a heat test with Carolina Reaper Peanuts that are fused with 5 increasingly hot peppers. There are five levels of heat:
- Ghost Peppers
- Scorpion Butch-T Peppers
- Carolina Reaper Peppers, Chocolate Bhutla
- Carolina Reaper Peppers, 7 pot Douglah, 7 pot Brain Strain
- Pepper-X Peppers, Carolina Reaper Peppers, Moruga Scorpion
They make it through all five, but progressively want to die more and more. Nick cries. They are true American heroes.
