## Synopsis

Betsy Sodaro and Mano Agapion (*We Love Trash*, *2 Spooky 2 Handle*) join the mateys to talk all things horror, murderers, and villains before a review of Long John Silver's. Plus, a special pirate edition of Let Me Be Plank.

## Nick's intro

First published in 1886, *Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde* — they dropped the “the”, Facebook-style — is one of the most well-known works of Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson. And while this exploration of the duality of man via a transmogrifying potion still endures in the collective consciousness, it’s arguably topped by his other major work: *Treasure Island*, a sprawling adventure novel of seafaring and skullduggery, first serialized in 1881 and then published in 1883.

And the story’s breakout character was its antagonist, a ship’s cook with a dangerous past, much like Steven Seagal’s character in *Under Siege*. This treacherous treasure coveter became an iconic fictional pirate, establishing the current clichés of peg legs and parrot familiars, and had an iconic name. So iconic, that when a quick-service seafood outlet opened in 1969 in Lexington, Kentucky, they borrowed the peg-legged public-domain pirate’s nom de plume to become their brand.

Expanding throughout the U.S. in the decades that followed, the fish-and-chips monger hit hard times in the '90s, and the then bankrupt chain was acquired by A&W in 1999. In 2002, that company was acquired by Yum! Brands and operated under their yum-brella, along with KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell, but was forced to walk the plank in 2011, and has been seemingly adrift at sea ever since.

Stevenson’s pirate treasure-hunt urtext has been endlessly adapted, including as a high-concept Las Vegas resort and a sci-fi Disney animated feature film with original songs by the Goo Goo Dolls. But its most well-known derivative content may very well be the salty seafood seller that seems to be slowly sinking like a scuttled sloop in the center of the sea.

This week on Doughboys… **Yarrrctdoughbarrrchest**, a month of pirate-themed eating, drinking, and revelry, continues, as we return voyage to Long John Silver’s.

"*Yo dough, yo dough, a pirate's bite for me!*"

## Let Me Be Plank 🏴‍☠️☠️

Yarr!

Hot dog simmer in the city
Grit on my grill gettin' greasy and gritty
Toast bun, don't it look pretty
Suckin' on a dog like you're suckin' on a titty
Pork and beef sausages and long bread
Rollin' on a roller grill, must've been relish

One bite, it's a different world
Swap dog bites with a girl
Munch on, munch on, and chomp all night
Despite the farts, it'll be alright
That taste when the casing has snapped
Later that day, you'll for sure have to nap
As it simmers in the city
Like you're suckin' on a titty*

Frying all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hot dog
Frying all the time
You ain't never been a burger
And you ain't no lunch of mine

They said you a sandwich
Well, that was just a lie
Yea, they said you a sandwich
Well, that was just a lie
You're just a bun around a wiener
So you sure don't qualify*

Eating a hot dog is alright at sea
Do what you want 'cause a hot dog's for me
Let me a-be plank
Yarr harr, ahoy and avast
Dog eat dog, yum, dog eat dog fast
Grilled a hot dog at the end of the mast
Let me a-be plank*

Found a treasure chest near the beach sandbarrr
Sail away with me to another isle
Where we can yarrr with each other
Yarr yarr
From one pirate to another
Yarr yarr*

The co-host of Doughboys that can suck himself off
(Alright)
He hosts a gaming podcast
And he'll probably start a third one
His beta-ass fans just can't get enough!*

Ayee. That's exactly what I thought when we ate the first frank barbecued on a grill of coal that cannot light, except for those that have matches. But bite it, we did! Thar be the grill! Inside be the franks. And we cooked 'em all. We grilled 'em and boiled 'em. And swallowed 'em away with drink and more food in miserable company (that being each other). The more we ate 'em up, the more we came to realize the franks would not satisfy. The dogs were swallowed down our mouths and all the hot dogs in the world could not slake our lust! We are cursed men, Miss Erdbrink. Compelled by franks we were, but now we consume them. There is one way we can end our curse. All the scattered frankfurters in the United Stats must be devoured and the mustard spread and thanks to ye, we have the final frank!

**Look at me!**
Sure.
**Look at me!**
Sure.
**I'm the hot dog now.**

In this segment, the Doughboys search Google (and Bing) for 'pirate hot dog' and discovers the latest news about pirate hot dogs. They then discuss!

Most of the articles are about very cute pirate or hot-dog costumes for actual dogs. The Doughboys also discuss Shaqtoberfest. There was one article about a pirates dinner theater. They also find some other non-hot dog stories. Nick does find this article about a hot-dog hack.

Mitch lastly searches for news about 'plank', but most are about the exercise, but there was this about someone named Plank talking about Hellman's.

## Quotes

**Mitch**: You can quote him on that.

**Betsy**: You liar, you've been seven times since we went!
