Originally dunked at SomaCow.com

In this hour, we discussed the Injustice Perpetrated by Dunkin’ Donuts, the Magic’s chances of winning the NBA Finals, and the fact that the cake is a lie.

A Google Search of “Dunkin Donuts Sucks” results in over 90,000 relevant hits, which just goes to show you that the internet is DEAD ACCURATE. I have been working myself into a lather over what went down last Friday. For those of you blissfully unaware, DD offered a free doughnut to anyone that purchases a drink. Ours were out of doughnuts all day. ALL DAY. Those I spoke to that DID obtain a free doughnut were forced to have a horrific doughnut experience. No delicious Boston cremes, or delicate crullers,  no… they had to endure the truly awful cinnamon cake, or even the dread powdered arsenic.

I implore you, in the name of all that is tasty, to join me in boycotting this pathetic entity known as Dunkin’ Donuts. You need a reason? I have five:

1. Rachel Ray. Period. Rachel Ray has already made the entire Food Network unwatchable, and she does it with a cup of DD at her side.

2. Bad Iced Coffee. Try it sometime, and listen to my comments regarding such here on the show. Watery, gruely, gritty with sugar, and God Forbid you order it with Cream, because the thing they will hand out the window to you resembles a quart of diseased animal husbandry.

3. Thick, Lead Doughnuts.  Seriously, bite for bite, a Dunkin Donuts Doughnut is 3.4 lbs of pain. Doughnuts should be light, fluffy, kind, sweet, friendly, not compacted, dense, chalky cornbread.

4. Slave Labor.  You know why that sweet old time to make the doughnuts guy died? Because he, apparently, had to make the doughnuts for the entire world. I know none of the DD near me make any, or else they wouldn’t have run out. Poor old bastard was chained to the machine, I bet, pushing out small round rings of sadness for the world, like some kind of slave Santa. Ho. Ho. Sob.

5. Spelling.  It’s DOUGHnut, you freaks. I hereby dub thee Dunkin Do Not, because you will end up with a coffee cup filled with cakey salty sadness filled pain brick.

In this, their middle hour, the guys discussed food (hey, they had a guest 3rd hour, had to bump it up), manly things… and more food.

Geoff’s been having to go out of town a lot for his work, which really makes us relish the time we have together. Last week, we went out for a nice evening of sushi. The place we went to normally has tons of people in it, but I guess in this economy delicious raw fish is the first thing to go. The good side of that meant an empty restaurant where Rowan could babble to her heart’s content. Afterward, we enjoyed a nice cup of coffee while listening to some guy be manly leaving his Cobra running the whole time. What of that? Maybe he was getting a little something something? Either that or he liked to watch people drink coffee under an old bank drive thru while big and tall men enter the one store for them left in town.

You know what though? It was a great night. It used to be that a great night meant going out downtown all dolled up, finding some great music and drink specials, and crashing at home until noon the next day. With work and SomaCow Media and Rowan, I’ve come to appreciate that time together, away from the TV and computer and bills, as simple as it might seem.

Oh crap, this is the SomaCow blog, not the Jen blog so back to the show.

Oh to be manly. J went to Red Lobster and refused  the most expensive thing on the menu that they accidentally brought him, in lieu of what he wanted. In return, they got all kinds of free stuff! I guess that’s pretty manly. If not, he also made some martinis which is always a great back up. Mickey taught his sister how to fly. Geoff didn’t listen to a woman. I’m sure that woman was not me, what?

Listener Glenn actually recorded his manly thing of the week! The guys put out the challenge to everyone to do that and post it in reply to Glenn’s found here.

One thing they did listen to me about was popcorn. Yeah, I know a way to get myself and Rowan in the studio now and then. On twitter, I’m following Kernel Encore, a popcorn place that is Ben Hur! I won their weekly twitter drawing and they sent me a 12-pack of sample bags (which could feed a couple people each) for us all to share. I let the guys try to figure out what I gave them, and they were pretty good at it. The guava one surprised me, I thought it would be funky but it was very tasty. I also kind of liked the beer popcorn. J took home about 3 bags of it so he’ll have to let us know Friday at the live recording how those were.
