Tournament of Chompions: Full Bird Region with Eugene Cordero

"Tournament of Chompions: Full Bird Region with Eugene Cordero" is Episode 93 of *Doughboys*, hosted by Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger. "Tournament of Chompions: Full Bird Region with Eugene Cordero" was released on March 9, 2017.

## Synopsis

Eugene Cordero (*Kong: Skull Island*, *The Dumbbells* podcast) returns to help officiate the third match of the first round of **Tournament Champions: Chicken Fight**, as the 'boys reveal the competitors in the **Full Bird Region**. Plus, it's a shake down, as the trio tastes the limited edition *King Kong* sweet treats from Johnny Rockets.

## Nick's intro

The end of the 18th century saw the Haitian Revolution, an uprising where slaves on the island of Hispaniola, who had been tortured and brutally worked to the bone by their French masters, overthrew their overlords and declared self-rule. It drew a straight line to the Louisiana Purchase which, while widely credited to the genius of Thomas Jefferson, had as much to do with Napoleon's desperate desire to ditch the French Colonial presence in America and the aftermath.

The massive U.S. territorial expansion of the 1790s gave us portions of the home states of America's tri-force of mega fried-chicken chains a century and a half later: Kentucky, where Colonel Harlan Sanders, a Frank Abagnale-style huckster, who worked countless careers founded his famous eatery; Texas, where a restaurant called Texas Chicken was opened by George W. Church, Sr., who didn't live to see its success or its name change; and Louisiana, where an eccentric businessman named Al Copeland began his chicken shack named after a popular cartoon to which he didn't even own the rights.

This week on *Doughboys*, the third match-up of the Quarter Pounder Final round of **Munch Madness: The Tournament of Chompions: Chicken Fight: Full Bird Region**: Church's v. KFC v. Popeyes.

*Let's a-go!*

## Chicken Fight: Rules

* Only focus on the chicken.
* Sides stay on the sidelines.
* Drinks are in the Gatorade jug (also on the sidelines).

## Cock Fight: Full Bird Region 🐓

This year, The Doughboys decide which food is so good that when it gets sent to the Devil, it will turn him into an angel.

In this episode, they give the best food to Kong, who punches his way down into hell and delivers it to the Skullcrawlers, who burrow down further to visit the Devil, who will like the chicken so much his horns become a halo.

The three of them seemed to have shared the KFC order, and made their own individual trips to Popeyes and Church's.

The Doughboys all voted for something different!

So to break the tie, they offer their rankings of the three restaurants, and since Popeyes had the most second place votes, it moves on to the next round (i.e., given to the Skullcrawlers to deliver to the Devil).

## Shake Down

Eugene, star of *Kong: Skull Island*, brings two promotional Johnny Rockets Kong shakes: a peanut-butter banana shake and a chocolate banana shake. They rate the two shakes out of 100 (since Kong in *Kong: Skull Island* is 100 feet tall).

They all loved the peanut-butter banana shake, but were more indifferent to the chocolate banana one.
