## Susser's intro

*[ring]*

**Louis:** *Good morning. Steak 'n Shake, Louis speaking. How can I help you?*

**Evan Susser**: Hi. I just wanted to check. Uh. This location in Victorville is a full Steak 'n Shake, correct? With a full menu?

    **Louis**: *A full Steak 'n Shake?*

**Evan**: With a full menu?

**Louis**: *Yes*.

**Evan**: OK. 'Cause it's not one of those Steak 'n Shakes by Biglari?

**Louis**: *Well, we got... no, it's a whole Steak 'n Shake restaurant. The only one in California, I believe. We do breakfast until 11 and then lunch. It's open 24 hours.*

**Evan**: Great. Do you have the Side By Side shakes?

**Louis**: *What?*

**Evan**: Do you have the Side By Side milkshakes?

**Louis**: *Yes, we do*.

**Evan**: OK, great. Thank you.

**Louis**: *Alright, no problem*.

**Evan**: Alright, bye.

This week on *Doughboys*, for the final episode of 2015, we return to Steak 'n Shake.

## Season's Eatings 🎄

This is a new segment during which the Doughboys try a variety of holiday-themed snacks.

The snacks eaten in this segment are a Pepperidge Farm GingerMan, Junior Mints Peppermint Crunch, Jelly Belly Holiday Favorites, Reese's Trees, Peeps Milk Chocolate Covered Mint Marshmallow Trees, Horizon Organic Eggnog and a plain loaf of challah bread. (See pics below.)

The Doughboys simply eat everything, narrating as they go; they do not rate anything on any scale.

Nick does not like Christmas-flavored snacks at all, and wants to leave them all on the side of the road to die (except the Reese's and challah bread).

## *Sonic The Hedgehog* Questions

* Will Sonic appear in *Force Awakens*?
* So there is no scene in *Force Awakens* where Sonic spin attacks Kylo Ren?
* What will be better, *Sonic* or *Force Awakens*?
* Can you confirm that Finn gets in a lightsaber battle with Big The Cat wielding a fishing pole?
* What about the rumors that Luke does in fact resurface and he's in the midst of a love triangle with Amy Rose and Rogue The Bat?
* Can you confirm or deny that Matt Walsh is voicing Knuckles The Echidna in the *Sonic the Hedgehog* movie?
* Can you confirm or deny that Shadow the Hedgehog picks up BB-8 and dunks him like a basketball?

## Satisfied Reviewers 🌟

Somewhat akin to the Unsatisfied Yelper segment, Evan Susser tried to find some unsatisfied reviews of Doughboys. However, he was unsuccessful, and only finds 5 star glowing reviews. He reads some:

Nick Wiger and Mike Mitchell. Two comedian/writers doing a podcast about chain restaurants? No, they're not food critics and that's what makes it a great idea! They think like the Joe Everyman (a pretty enlightened thinker, from what I here) and analyze their dining experiences like I, and I assume others, would.

## The Feedbag

My wife does not support most chain restaurants, but I love the occasional chicken tender or burger meal, but I have to eat it alone and/or behind her back.
Love the podcast! If you guys ever take it on the road and swing through Oklahoma, there's a local chain here called Braum's that is tasty. Great burgers and ice cream. You can find a handful of them on the outskirts of Dallas too. Howdy Ho to Spoon Nation!
