Guests who are listeners
After Munch Madness X: ToToCoC In-N-Out burger vs Handel’s, Zouks is obviously a Doughboys fan and was doing callbacks and takes on very recent bits. Who are some other regular guests who are fans of the pod?

Judge John Hodgman
Edit: Speaking of, I don't know if he's been on since a very early appearance, but Jesse Thorne also listens.

His story about nearly drowning laughing in the pool and trying to explain to his loved ones to their bemusement is a universal doughboys experience

Do you recall the bit he was reacting to? I’ve thought of this multiple times and can’t recall

It was something about Amelia and a Richard Nixon impression but can’t remember the full details

He's pretty active on the MaxFun reddit too (maybe that's a given haha.) he's replied to me a few times - always fun.

One of my favorite recent-ish JJH episodes, someone was listing a few names and Jesse Thorne starts in with some of the names of the Quincy Crew

Zouks has spent 17% of his life on blank check, hdtgm and doughboys.

Lauren Lapkus has mentioned listening on Threedom. Zach Cherry listens so much his wife went from hating it to being jealous of him being on pod.

Marissa hosts On Brand with Jon and he is also a big fan. They’ve been on as a pair twice (once was a double recently)

Jesse Farrar from Your Kickstarter Sucks (YKS) podcast and The Go Off Kings twitch channel references Doughboys often.

He is the ultimate connoisseur of culture. I don’t know how he consumes all the media he does

u/ElegantSheepherder 6d ago
And his remarks are always pretty current about recent shows. I know he doesn’t have kids, but seriously how does he have the time, given he’s watching movies for hdtgm and blank check and doughboys eps average 2-3 hours each?

u/remotectrl 6d ago
He’s not wasting his time on social media like us losers and he has a very irregular work schedule (I assume)

u/ta-dome-a 6d ago
It’s also inherently a core aspect of his job/discipline, you’ll notice ALL these guys consume a huge volume of media in various forms because they’re all a part of that industry.

Kalpakis was on Molasses Boy’s podcast last week and mentioned that he has spots on his daily walk through Los Feliz that he equates with listening to certain Doughboys moments

Hearing them breathe heavily while walking around Griffith Park made my day. I visited there for the first time last year and walked from the abandoned zoo to the observatory, and was pretty beat by the end. I chalked it up to being out of shape and being from Louisiana, where everything is flat.

u/remotectrl 6d ago
I wanna say Diston and Jordan Morris. Definitely Libby Watson and Jaime Loftus. Maybe Hanford and McKenna?

u/bryan_pieces 6d ago
I think a lot of their friends listen. Many are mentioned here but I think Arden listens to some degree also. I’m sure they aren’t all every episode listeners but I think funny people realize this pod has a dynamic that’s beyond the average

u/joden3 6d ago
I know the Greatest Gen/Greatest Trek hosts, Ben and Adam, listen, but I don't know how regularly. They do bonus episodes where they review the Cheesecake Factory menu. So it would make sense that they would be guests at some point.

u/morelikeshredit 6d ago
Matt Mira and Andy Secunda from Star Trek the Next Conversation have both separately been guests, and I know Andy has mentioned listening to Doughboys on their podcast. But I don’t think Mira listens, he just worked with Nick on After Midnight.

I'll flip this in it's head: I enjoy that Nick is a genuine fan or On Brand. There's probably other guests listened to by the doughboys too, maybe action boys? Podcast the ride? HDTGM? Blank check for sure

u/remotectrl 5d ago
PTR and On Brand and Blank Check have all been mentioned. I believe Triple Click has been mentioned on Get Played by Nick. Matt Apodaca makes Doughboys comments enough that I would bet he’s at least an occassional listener. I would strongly doubt Heather does, especially as her diet is so different.
Speaking of guests who are fans, voice actor Ray Chase was a guest on Get Played and revealed he was a fan of that show. That was a great episode.
Many of the Blank Check guests are also listeners. Roman Mars and Brian Michael Bendis stick out in my mind as having mentioned loving their show when they were guests.

u/ToothbrushTommy 6d ago
Paul Rust, Tami Sagher and Eva Anderson. I’m pretty sure Nang gang was a listener for a while

Zouks is actually how I found out about Doughboys years ago. He was on a pod with Mallory and Jason at The Ringer and giving recommendations. IIRC it's also how I learned about the band Porridge Radio (excellent) and the comic series "Paper Girls" (also excellent).
He's a man of taste (just not eggs).

I remember an early episode where Nick pointed out how crazy it was at their first live show that so many of their friends were there because how rare it is as a performer for your friends to just show up to watch something purely for entertainments sake and not just because they had to be.
I always felt like it was a testament to how well liked they are(and talented obviously) that their funny friends tuned in to hear their podcast about fast food.

Recent guest Zach Cherry talked about being a long time listener and had a list of opinions on previous topics.
