Doughboys, the podcast about chain restaurants, mentions Duluth in episode 77, “Cold Stone Creamery with Kevin T. Porter,” released Nov. 2, 2016.
In the episode, Gilmore Guys co-host Kevin T. Porter joins hosts Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger to review his favorite ice cream parlor from high school. At around the 12-minute mark, Mitchell suggests he should run for president.
Wiger: After like two campaign events you would just complain about what a pain in the ass it was and not want to do it anymore. Can you imagine getting on a tour bus and going to, like, Duluth, and then getting up at 5 a.m. and doing a campaign rally for a bunch of steelworkers?
Mitchell: Jesus.
Wiger: Like, just think, there’s so much work involved in running a political campaign. It’s not something you’d ever want to do.
Porter: (Sarcastically) Steelworkers, notoriously, the worst crowds.
Wiger: Those guys are rowdy.
Mitchell: Campaign … in the ass.
