there's cereals good or just okay? It's still guys with

(00:24):
about breakfast foll what do they do there? It is
bringing with all that boost and you get to hear
that's like, bet.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
You it's Serial Killers. This is episode one, twenty five.
This is a very exciting day, first of all because
Andrew is back in studio with me. Yeah, he's eight
and a half feet away. I measured it. Yes, we're good.
Plus I'm talking forward. Yeah, so I don't spit on you.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
We're good.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
It is Friday, July seventeenth. This is episode one twenty five.
And the song that just played nobody heard it because
it hasn't It was written, but it wasn't recorded yet.
There's a brand new open a Serial Killers and it's
a Jonas Brothers song Oh What a Man Got to Do?
And Dave Brody wrote us a parody for Serial Killers.
I have no idea what it's going to sound like.
(01:13):
But wasn't that awesome? That sounded great. And the reason
that we did that is because we have a special
guest today. His name is Greg Garbowski, part of the
management team for the Jonas Brothers. Welcome yea for now
what a great song? Yeah, wasn't it great? Thanks Dave Brody. Now,
this is a guy that has an enthusiasm for Cereal
(01:34):
just as much as we do. Well I do, because
you don't, you don't even care about cereal. But so
I always see him hanging out at the serial Killer's Cafe,
which there is one in London. Oh and when he
was up here with the Jonas Brothers a couple of
months ago, he was an can you see the serial
Museum behind me?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well, it's it's so different from the last time I
was there. It looks amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, it's easily like ten times the amount of Cereals
that we have, and it's.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
It got shelving. I don't know how I feel at
the shelving. It's bordering on obsessive, but it's nice.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I love it and I have to tell you, as
I was putting them up there, I could feel that
more than half of them were just solid bricks. Of
cereal because most of them are probably ten months old.
But you know what, it's an impressive thing to look at.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
It really is well done.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
So yeah, when I was there, this was January, and
I basically was there with the Jonas Brothers doing Elvis
Duran and then I saw you and all the cereal
and I.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Just freaked out.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Actually, they saw it first and signaled me to come
in because they know what a fan I am.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
And I'm just blown away. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
It's so exciting to me that somebody shares the same
enthusiasm as I do. And the reason that you're on
this particular episode is because probably about a month ago,
I got an email from Post Consumer Brands and they
were like, hey, just want to make sure we have
the correct address because we have something new coming out.
We want to send it to you. And when they
did send it, I posted a picture and You're like, dude,
I gotta try that. So let me go down to
(02:57):
the cereal sack here. This is brand new. Nobody has
this yet. It's not coming out until next month and
we'll only be available and select Walmart stores. Andrew's just like,
what's going on here?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Confused?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
This is honeymade real cinnamon. So there was another honeymade cereal,
it's s'mores that's still in stores and it's wildly popular.
And there actually was a honeymade gram cereal back in
the early two thousands that didn't last all that long.
But so this is brand new and I'm super excited
to try it. And I know I sent Greg some
(03:29):
creepy little ziploc bags of cereal. So if you would
pull out bag number two, please and we'll get started
with that.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Are you pouring me?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You want me to pour you? Oh? That's right. I
don't know should I pour you or conn? Well, if
you give me cups, I gave you cups. Yes, take
your own baggies over there. I don't want to touch
your stuff.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Okay. You know I loved getting these bags sent to me.
It just felt like I was on breaking bad or
something fun marked cereal.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Wait, do your bags look like this?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
They're a little No. I said to you, Oh, you
got some big ziplocks because you know what, I think
Gregan enjoys cereal and he'll eat it after the fact.
You take out like three little squares and throw it away.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
True, I mean, I'm happy to be back because I
hated doing my dishes. Like every time we would do it,
I would have to use at least like six bowls.
I'm just getting tired.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Now you're on the West Coast, I am so I'm
I'm only about three thousand miles away.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Oh cool. And I'm guessing since you're so la, you
don't use regular milk, do you?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I don't. I don't use regular milk. I'm an oat
milk guy, all right.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I love oat milk. He hates oat milk. I think
the taste of oat milk doesn't change anything, and it's delicious.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I will allow it because you're a guest, but normally,
you know, if it doesn't come out of a cow,
we don't do it on the show. But it's okay.
But you know what, our friends from Shabani, which I
think is probably what you have there, sent us a
whole stack of coupines, And to be quite honest with you,
I tried the chocolate one and it is fantastic. Yeah,
it is really good, tas likely chocolate morshmellow milk, and
it's great.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I love it. Some one that doesn't hurt my stomach.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
How long have you loved cereal for.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Since I was basically born.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
But it all changed for me when I was ten
and was visiting some family and I saw my uncle
eating cereal at night, right before he went to bed,
and it blew my mind. And since then I realized, Wait,
I can just have cereal all the time.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yeahs, not just for breakfast.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah so now, I mean I think I had it
for lunch yesterday. I just I ate it constantly.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Now, this smells exactly like a cinnamon Grahm cracker from Honeymade.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Oh yeah, I'm gonna like this. I have a feeling
this is going to be delicious.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
They look like cinnamon Toa's crunch. But let's go in
and see what they taste like. Hmmm, it's like it's
cinnamon Toa's crunch with no sugar.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah right, And I'm happy with it. I'm so happy
with it.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Nailed the gram cracker like it. It's exactly the same.
Yeah right, I'm very impressed.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I'm feeling like we can make tiny little s'mores with these.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
The fire pit, very tiny ones, like I really like these. Yeah,
I'm into it. I'm going to give this four bowls
and a spoon. The sugar from a cinnamon TOAs crunch.
I think really puts that out a five bowler for me. Yeah,
but this is still like if I had this, I
would eat this all the time.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
And if these get wildly popular, I could see them
coming out with chocolate ones because I do have other
varieties of honeymade gram crackers, so they could just do
them all in cereal form. This is great, I will
I'm going to go four balls. It's really good, but
I need a marshmallow or two, so I'm going four
balls on it. Greg, I'm thinking, you know our rating
skelets one to five balls and spoons are half.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Yeah, I'm going to go four bowls as well. I
love it. It's it feels like just a little too
much granulated sugar for me, but I really love the flavor.
I feel like they nailed it, and I feel like
I'm a kid again eating gram crackers for.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Breakfast or lunch or dinner. Because wait, so do you
like super sugary cereals or are you more of like
a granola type of person.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I like them all. It just depends on the mood.
Typically I'll mix. So I've been doing Cascadian Farm Barry
with UH with apple Jacks and it's a really really
good mix. I can't do either on its own, but
together it's a just a dream.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
You know what's cool? You could be the very first
guest on Andrew and Danielle's brand new podcast, Cerial Remix,
because I don't like mixing cereals. I'm just you know,
I'm a purist. But that's okay, you do you I.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Love something i'd make a habit of, but in Quarantine,
all bets are.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Off so true, the rules have changed.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Although you have seen this cereal correct, Like this one
is just an abomination to me. It's the mashup of
frosted flakes and fruit loops from Kelloggs that just came out.
We will be doing it in future episode. But you know,
it's just it's so lazy. You could just do that
with anything.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, get that out of here.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I'm liking your Cascadian Farms Applejacks thing because I feel
like you went with like a taste profile and I'm
a fan of that. Like I would never think to
mix like a granola with like an apple jack. That
seems like smart. I'm a fan, thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
And by the way, so I'm aware there are certain things.
You can't have soy nuts, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Right, Yeah, I'm a look to legoom, So I can't
do peanut butter or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
You can't have lima beans.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Can't have any kind of bean. Actually, why was lima
bean you go to?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Well, lima bean is the only legome. I mean a
peanut is also, right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
A peanut.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Yes, So I can't have captain crunch. And because of that,
I can't do any of the normal Captain crunch because
it's all made on the same machinery. Apparently that's a
pretty sad life I live.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Well, that's all right, so you get to save the
roof of your mouth. But you know another one that
it just came out and I was looking at the
ingredients and I'm pretty sure you can have it, and
it makes me sad that I didn't have time to
send it to you. But this is brand new from Kellogg's.
It's a new rice crispies, cookies and cream rice Crispies.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I saw that on your Instagram. I'm freaking out.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Out of control, and I'm pretty sure you can have
it because it's rice sugar, salt flour, malt flour, cocoa
natural flavor. That's it.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
I'm in so I think you can have it.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
If you can't find it out there in La let
me know, I'll send you a box.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I can't find it even the regular version of that
really cereal?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Which one the new one or the old one?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I'm talking like nineties?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yes, yeah, well they just changed the recipe probably about
six months ago, and everyone in the cereal you know
world is up in arms because it used to be
little chunks of rice krispy trees and it was fantastic.
They've now changed it where it's just rice crispies with
many marshmallows, and it sucks. It's an abomination.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yeah, it's gros.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
So there's actually a there's a petition online to bring
back the original one.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
But you know, I will happily sign that one.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I mean, I don't know too much about cereal, but
I do know rice krispy tree cereal was my favorite
cereal ever growing up.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yes, so you don't know too much about cereal.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
No, I mean I just eat what do we just have?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
All right? With that said, let's move on now. The
next one is really the whole reason that Greg is
a part of this because months ago he emailed me
and he's like, dude, you gotta get this cereal. It's
my favorite. I always have it when I'm over in England,
and it's from a company called Jordan's who's been around
since the seventies and they're wildly popular overseas. They do
have American versions of them, but I've never seen them
(09:59):
in stores here. So I ordered this one from Amazon.
And this one is apparently Greg's favorite.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Cereal, so this is like your go to favorite cereal.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
So yeah, it makes it more special that I can
only get it in Europe for whatever reason, but when
I'm there. So right before Lockdown, the Jonas Brothers completed
a tour in Europe for about four weeks and I
had boxes upon boxes of this in road cases that
were backstage. I mean every day, probably three bowls just
in the evening when like one before the show, won
(10:29):
during and one after. Yeah, I was obsessed And if
you don't like it, I'm gonna my feelings are going
to be hurt.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Well, i'll tell you right now, Andrew won't like it
because this is Jordan's country crisp with sun ripe strawberries
and Andrew was not a fan of like the dry
dehydrated fruits. Oh yeah, we'll see how this one goes.
And this one is a good sauce of fibery because
they like to spell fiber reversed fib Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
You know, it used to have dried blueberries, and it
used to have all kinds of berries, and then, like
I don't know, five years ago, they changed it to
just strawberries.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Websites, there's like four or five different varieties of this. Actually,
you know what, we tried a couple of weeks ago
and this one blew my mind. Let me go back
here to the Cereal museum.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
It's not a museum.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
We tried country crisp with flame raisins, so.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, but what the hell?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
They just giant raisins. I don't I've never heard of
a flame raisin before. But they're just huge, plump raisins. Wow,
I liked it.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I I the thing with dehydrated fruits. I always feel
like they go seltzery, Like the minute you put them
in your mouth, they get really like pop rock.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
You always say that it doesn't make any sense. I
never taste seltzer when I eat strawberry.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
The only one that didn't taste like it was the
all D version and it was rubbery. Yeah, and I
spit that out real quick.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Well, you haven't tried Jordan's yet.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I'm gonna go with open mind.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
You're ready, open your mind.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
So this is your walk through a fire for Cereal exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
The tastiest oats naturally country.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Is it this one?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
It's the one that has no, it's not that one. Okay,
it's number one, Like I said, that's why I number
the bags for you. Andy.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Well, I'm already liking it better than the other one
that I pulled out because I think the smaller strawberry
shapes won't be as fizzy.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
And it looks like there's little cashews in here. I
mean those are obviously oats.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Yeah, I don't know, Yeah, they're oats. It makes its
cool because it makes me feel like I'm able to
eat nuts. But uh, it's not. It's just a joke.
So yeah, I love it. Some of you guys think so.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Here on the East Coast, we're using Shopwright bowl and
basket one percent cow milk with our Jordan's. Let's go
check it out now, don't put time you like it
just because Gregor's are gashed. If you think it sucks,
say it sucks.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I don't hate it.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I feel like these strawberries have rehydrated into actual strawberries.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
The granola, I feel, is the standout in the cereal
because it's like a little sweet but not too sweet.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I think the Queen must have had something to do
with this. Shoes you're gonna use dried strawberries and our
damn cereal, they better taste like strawberries and these do
you know if you let them sit there for a
little bit, they actually taste like regular strawberries that you've
cut up and throw in here. This is really good.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
And there they're very small, so they're manageable. It's not
too big. And then you're just like, what is this
like giant piece of like wet fruit doing. It's manageable.
I think there's a good amount of crunch. And then
every now and then, like you said, there's these big
puffed oats that almost look like Cashew's.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
So I think it's a good variety.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I feel like I have to just go back to
something you said earlier. So you were eating three bowls
of this while the Jonas brothers.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Were oh yeah, during a show, during like a typical evening.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
So just like going in hardcore, this is your box.
Don't touch the box of Jordan's.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
It doesn't matter that Europe may have some of the
finest culinary institutes and food available. I just as long
as they had this five dollars box of Jordan's.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
That was good something on Amazon. It's a lot more
than five dollars, but you're worth it. They call these
silky smooth strawberries.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I'm going to give us three bowls and a spoom.
I will say the cut up fruit makes me not
hate it. Usually, like what Greg said, when it's a
big wet piece of fruit, it gets nasty. I don't
want that.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Do you know that this particular box was made in
biggles Wade, Sorry what it says made in biggles Wade,
you'd k I even know that was an actual looking
I'd like to visit biggles Wade. But I give it
four balls. I do like it. I love cereal with
fruit in it, unless they're dates. I don't like dates.
Those are stupid. But I think this is delicious. Four
balls for Jordan's.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Oh, I mean you know, I give it five or
I really appreciate. I appreciate you going through all the
trouble to get it for me.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
No trouble at all.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Do other people share the same love of the cereal
as you?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Yeah, I mean the the on tour, the brothers will
have a ball with me every now and then. They're
healthier than I am for the most part. It's not
every day.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
You made fun of for being a cereal or actually.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
In their first like big big album that came out
in two thousand and seven, it's self titled If you
look in the liner notes, when they thank me, they
say that I'm ninety eight percent cereal.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
US two Well me anyway, Yeah, I'm the two percent.
I'm a somewhat cereal all right now.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
The third one, it was just kind of a throwaway.
A listener actually sent this up. It's safe, don't worry.
It was sealed. But I mean, we we have boxes
and boxes that are shipped to us constantly from listeners
that find random cereals and supermarkets that we haven't gotten
to yet. Mostly they are store brands or like this one.
You know, when you go down the cereal aisle and
you get all the Kellogg's in the post and the
(15:40):
General Mills in like all the way to the right
is all the healthy crap. It's like the uh you know,
the grainberry and the Nature's Path and all that stuff.
Some of those are really good. So this is one
of those. It's from Freedom Foods. We've done one or
two or three of them before. Actually this is a
maple crunch.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yes, so I love maple. Meant to it.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
I love maple too.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
You do have a mad magazine look to it as
it does.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Right, because this is let's see where is this from.
I'm guessing it's a product of Australia, so you know
we're going all over the world today.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Wow, so cultured.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah, this would not be allowed in my house because
the maple. My wife does not allow maple products of
any kind in my house because she just gags from
the smell of it. And my kids can't seem to
keep maple on a waffle or French toast. It just
goes everywhere. So she's she's not allowing maple. But this
might be okay. Although it does it doesn't have a
very mapley smell. Have you sniffed it? I know? Well,
this would be bagging number three. Andrew Pop it open.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Wait did you know this is?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Sorry?
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I didn't mean to interrupt. I'm getting like a nineties
waffle Chris right. Well really, by.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
The way, I have a feeling that one of these
days Post is going to do the right thing and
bring it back. I really do right.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Oh I like the smell. Wait, have you had the
Eggo Waffle Cereal?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
No? I haven't.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Oh my god, send this man a box of Eggo
Homestyle Waffle Maple flavored cereal.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I'm not sure if he can have it. I have
to look. There's a lot of stuff in there.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I pray in Jesus's name you are able to have
the cereal because it is my favorite cereal ever.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Have you tried maple cheerios?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Oh my god, maple cheeries two?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I think I have. Yeah. Yeah, it's been a while
since I've gone to the grocery store.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
I'm not a raging fan of maple. I'm really not.
I mean, when I go to waffle House, I have
to have syrup, but otherwise I just I don't love
the smell of maple. It just smells artificial to me.
The only maple syrup I actually like is the one
that shaped like a little Canadian maple leaf in the
little glass jar, the really expensive one in the supermarket.
I like real maple. I'm not see you. You also
didn't know that log Cabin and Miss Butterworth's and all
(17:41):
those those aren't real maple syrup. Those are breakfast syrup.
There's no maple in there whatsoever? They just syrup?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Do I still love the taste?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah? All right? These look like little I don't know
Domino's ladders.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
The shapes are very confusing. Is there a reason for
the shape?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I don't know? Just says new look maple crunch.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Can you put some milk in here?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
I think it's very aerodynamic.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I'm waiting for, like a healthy cereal to say something
about the aerodynamics of it help you in some way,
shape or form.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Maybe it just helps the milk, you know, get all
around and it's an even crunch or whatever. I apologize
that I do not remember which listeners sent this. I'm
usually pretty good and I write their names on it,
So thank you very much. Whoe ever said the freedom
maple crunch?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
All right, let's try it?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
All right?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Where'd the maple taste? That say?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Smells like aple? Doesn't taste like it right.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
It's first.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
I was just thrown off by the texture to begin with.
It's so crunchy, like I was doing something wrong by
eating this.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I'm wondering. I'm wondering what kind of grain that is
because it's rice flour, sorghum, flower andy. It's got the
sorghum that you love, yelig of cornflour, sugar, silium husk.
I don't know what that's all about.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Oh, it's gonna make you poop.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah, sillium husk every day.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Really don't take any today. And it also has the
rape seed oil. I'll never understand that. Like, that's such
a strange name for a plant. I call it rape seed.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Let's just not go with that one.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
It's whoever invented that one needs to like maybe go
back to the plant school.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yeah, a little bit of salt and uh, some phosphate stuff,
sunflower lectin and natural flavors. So, I don't know, it's weird.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I don't like this. I'm just gonna be honest. It's gross.
It tastes sale. It has no flavor. I am chewing cardboard.
That's what it feels like.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I agree, it does taste stale. It's maybe we need
to let it sit in the milk for a while.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I did catch actually a nice little pinch of salt,
which was weird.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
You got the one grain of salt that's.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
In the box.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Yeah, I don't know. I'm I'm pretty thrown by this one.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
It's like driving in your car and somebody tells you, oh,
we're driving through like a maple tree orchard, and it's like,
I don't even know if that's a thing. There's no
maple tree, I don't know whatever. So you hope it
up to the tree and it's like you just get
a hint of it.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Yeah, a maple. Oh, that's right, on maple. You just
get a hint of it.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
It just comes through a little bit of crack in
the window. That's the maples.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
It doesn't taste like it smells. It was so exciting.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It doesn't taste at all. You're right. It's free from gluten, nuts, wheat, dairy, egg, soy,
and sesame. And if you look carefully, it says that
the serving suggestion there, So I guess you're supposed to
put it in a bowl behind a mural of maple
and kites I have no idea. This is the strangest thing.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I'm going to give this one bowl. It's flavorless. Not
a fan would not even go to this if it
was the last cereal on earth. Yes you would. No,
not a fan.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
So there's no cereals on earth. This is the only
one there is. And you're going like, I just don't
eat cereal anymore.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
To put it into perspective, I'd go back to eating
sour Patch kid cereal before I touch that again.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Okay, whoa whoa fighting worth?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Seriously?
Speaker 1 (20:43):
And I hated sour Patch kid cereal. That's like who
thought of that milk and sour taste?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Well, the thing is kids like candy and they see
it and they say, Mummy, buy that. Even though it sucks.
The kids don't know, and that's how they sell it.
It's gone, by the way, no more. The Jolly Ranchers
is gone, and a lot of them are being disc continued.
A lot of the stuff that we have here is
being discontinued, like Twinkies already is on the clearance shelf.
So I think the Twinkie cereal is going away as well.
These novelty things don't last very long.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yeah, Well, what do you think, Scotty, If.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
It was the last cereal on earth, I'd have a
bowl every once in a while, so I will give
it two bowls. It's okay, but it just doesn't live
up to the scent.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yeah, it's a pretty big letdown.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
I'm going to go a bowl in one spoon, and
the spoon is just for the smell.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, well then again, see, your oat milk might have
changed the way some of these tastes. So I don't know,
but I'll let you have it. Are using like plain
oat milk? Or is a vanilla? Is it flavored?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
This is a vanilla one that I have today?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Oh so jealous. I love the vanilla flavored oat milk.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
All right.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
The vanilla flavored oat milk with the Jordan's must have
tasted fantastic like Desserty almost.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Yeah, I mean it tastes delicious with almost any cereal,
and it could not save this one.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Sadly, you know, I would say, though, I'm sure a
vanilla oat milk and a chocolate cereal would just be
spectacul killer.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Oh yeah, I'm trying it. Consider it done. What do
you got?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
What's what's your cereal? Cab At all about you. What
do you have?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Oh man, I mean, well I can.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
I wanted to make sure I name drop some of
my rip favorites, which was like two thousand and four.
I was really into what is it, frosted miniweets vanilla cream. Addition,
that's when they came out with like five different versions
of frosted Mini.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
They had like the latte vanilla latte or something. Also
that's gone.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I mean, for whatever reason, this was like there was
like a blueberry, there was a strawberry.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
They had fancy names, and the vanilla one.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
I was obsessed with, and yeah, see the blueberry one
remains it for some reason stood through all all these years.
But for vanilla cream was by far the best one,
and they discontinued it after a year, and it was devastating.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I had this is when I was in college. At
any given moment, like five boxes in my room. I
was obsessed.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I love this. And I know you're like, you're like
super looking forward to a coffee cereal and I know
there's supposed to be one coming out. I still see
pictures of that Duncan mocha cereal from General Mills. I
don't know, I don't know. What's going on. I haven't
seen anything else about it, but there is a picture
of it floating around online. So fingers crossed. Even though
I'm not a fan of coffee flavored things, but you know,
I would get a shot.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Flavored ice cream is my favorite ice cream. I love
coffee flavored ice cream.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Coffee is my other passion. So this would be the
best of both worlds.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
What other the worst? What other rip cereals are you
a fan of?
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Man, it is seven thirty am over here. I'm having
trouble remembering everything. But there was another cereal that I
was so obsessed with. Wait, it was like, I have
to look it up, Scotty. I think I sent it
to you at one point, but it was like maple
nut crunch, but there was a lot of other words
that were involved. I was obsessed with this cereal. It's
(23:47):
another one of those that has granola. It has some flakes,
it has a little caramel like balls in there, and
it was delicious, and they discontinued it. I had one
box remaining. It was unopened. This is around two and nine.
I went home for Christmas and I had a friend
stay at my place, and I said, and you can
do whatever you want, do not open this box. Of
(24:08):
saving it for a special occasion, I was saving it
like it was like a nice wine for like when
I get a job promotion. And sure enough she has
some guy stay over and the next morning she wakes
up and he's just like this is incredible, and he's
just he's just pounding this cereal, just eating ball after
bowl and she's like no, no, and then it was
(24:29):
it was all gone by the time I got back,
and I didn't even get to eat the last bowl.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
And Ladies and Gentlemen visit has been.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Serial Killers Visits the Cereal.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Great. Sorry, I haven't got to play that in quite
a long time because Andrew doesn't allow it.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Because it's nice. It's a nice jingle. But I feel
like caramel in a cereal? Have I ever had caramel
in a cereal?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, there's been some stuff.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
It was very tastefully done. I must say.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
One of the honey bunches of votes had caramel. There's been.
And then the apple Jack's Caramel Apple.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Yes, I loved that one. I was a big fan
of that.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
It was all right.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
And then there was another one that was like an
Apple version of post selects that I believe that we.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Ses that's the one you told me about, Yes, and
I gave you the rest of whatever the box that
I had that was close, Yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
It was close.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
It was not the same thing. And it was another
one of those where they had multiple versions of these
selects and that was the only my favorite one got
discontinued and the other seemed to survive.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I feel like you two are in a serial bromance,
and I'm.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Just I'm really actually, I'm kind of nervous that we
even talked about Jordan's because it seems like every time
I declare a.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Favorite cereal, it goes away.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
We can't let anyone know.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Well, if you have road cases full of it. I
feel like it's funny because right now all Andrew heres
is there's no idea what's going on here?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
No his cereal sounds good.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
I have to say, Okay, Well, I mean, I guess
we did them all. Yeah, when we did our three.
I really appreciate you coming on. Thank you for waking
up so early.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Yes, oh guys, this was an absolute pleasure and an honor.
And I hope you have me back at some point.
I'd love to be back. I've got my tiger paws
over here that I sent him the Tiger Pause.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I love tiger paus.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Don't you remember the Joe Jonas Tiger pau story?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
No?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
No, it was incredible.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
The really really quick version of it is we went
out to this was a long time ago, went out
to a restaurant. He ordered tiger prawns and he's allergic
to shellfish. Had no idea, and then when the food
came out, he was like, why why do you give
me shellfish? That is not what I ordered? And they're like, yeah, yeah,
you ordered a tiger Ponty's like, no, I ordered a
tiger paw. He thought it said tiger paw on the menu.
(26:43):
And we joke about it constantly. This was like fifteen
years ago. And then I can't believe Kellogg's put out
the Tiger Pause serial. I've already sent him multiple photos.
He's loving it.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
I loved it so much. That's the closest you're going
to get to Rice Krispy Treats, the old version.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Have you tried it?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
No?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I was saving it.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Yeah, I'm gonna I don't know if we're gonna eat
it on the show. So I'm excited. I'm gonna have
it for breakfast right after we're done.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Good.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
And it's weird because they it's marketed as a snack,
but yet it says Cereal in their tiny little letters.
So we figured it's okay to do on the show.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Well cool, Thank you so much. Great. I appreciate you
waking up man. I know it's early as all hell there.

do people know you as this?
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yeah? I mean people they just call it me poot
McGee in my face. I just roll with it and
I like that.

bringing with all that boost and you get to hear
that's like, bet.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
You it's Serial Killers. This is episode one, twenty five.
This is a very exciting day, first of all because
Andrew is back in studio with me. Yeah, he's eight
and a half feet away. I measured it. Yes, we're good.
Plus I'm talking forward. Yeah, so I don't spit on you.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
We're good.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
It is Friday, July seventeenth. This is episode one twenty five.
And the song that just played nobody heard it because
it hasn't It was written, but it wasn't recorded yet.
There's a brand new open a Serial Killers and it's
a Jonas Brothers song Oh What a Man Got to Do?
And Dave Brody wrote us a parody for Serial Killers.
I have no idea what it's going to sound like.
(01:13):
But wasn't that awesome? That sounded great. And the reason
that we did that is because we have a special
guest today. His name is Greg Garbowski, part of the
management team for the Jonas Brothers. Welcome yea for now
what a great song? Yeah, wasn't it great? Thanks Dave Brody. Now,
this is a guy that has an enthusiasm for Cereal
(01:34):
just as much as we do. Well I do, because
you don't, you don't even care about cereal. But so
I always see him hanging out at the serial Killer's Cafe,
which there is one in London. Oh and when he
was up here with the Jonas Brothers a couple of
months ago, he was an can you see the serial
Museum behind me?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well, it's it's so different from the last time I
was there. It looks amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, it's easily like ten times the amount of Cereals
that we have, and it's.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
It got shelving. I don't know how I feel at
the shelving. It's bordering on obsessive, but it's nice.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I love it and I have to tell you, as
I was putting them up there, I could feel that
more than half of them were just solid bricks. Of
cereal because most of them are probably ten months old.
But you know what, it's an impressive thing to look at.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
It really is well done.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
So yeah, when I was there, this was January, and
I basically was there with the Jonas Brothers doing Elvis
Duran and then I saw you and all the cereal
and I.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Just freaked out.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Actually, they saw it first and signaled me to come
in because they know what a fan I am.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
And I'm just blown away. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
It's so exciting to me that somebody shares the same
enthusiasm as I do. And the reason that you're on
this particular episode is because probably about a month ago,
I got an email from Post Consumer Brands and they
were like, hey, just want to make sure we have
the correct address because we have something new coming out.
We want to send it to you. And when they
did send it, I posted a picture and You're like, dude,
I gotta try that. So let me go down to
(02:57):
the cereal sack here. This is brand new. Nobody has
this yet. It's not coming out until next month and
we'll only be available and select Walmart stores. Andrew's just like,
what's going on here?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Confused?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
This is honeymade real cinnamon. So there was another honeymade cereal,
it's s'mores that's still in stores and it's wildly popular.
And there actually was a honeymade gram cereal back in
the early two thousands that didn't last all that long.
But so this is brand new and I'm super excited
to try it. And I know I sent Greg some
(03:29):
creepy little ziploc bags of cereal. So if you would
pull out bag number two, please and we'll get started
with that.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Are you pouring me?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You want me to pour you? Oh? That's right. I
don't know should I pour you or conn? Well, if
you give me cups, I gave you cups. Yes, take
your own baggies over there. I don't want to touch
your stuff.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Okay. You know I loved getting these bags sent to me.
It just felt like I was on breaking bad or
something fun marked cereal.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Wait, do your bags look like this?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
They're a little No. I said to you, Oh, you
got some big ziplocks because you know what, I think
Gregan enjoys cereal and he'll eat it after the fact.
You take out like three little squares and throw it away.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
True, I mean, I'm happy to be back because I
hated doing my dishes. Like every time we would do it,
I would have to use at least like six bowls.
I'm just getting tired.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Now you're on the West Coast, I am so I'm
I'm only about three thousand miles away.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Oh cool. And I'm guessing since you're so la, you
don't use regular milk, do you?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I don't. I don't use regular milk. I'm an oat
milk guy, all right.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I love oat milk. He hates oat milk. I think
the taste of oat milk doesn't change anything, and it's delicious.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I will allow it because you're a guest, but normally,
you know, if it doesn't come out of a cow,
we don't do it on the show. But it's okay.
But you know what, our friends from Shabani, which I
think is probably what you have there, sent us a
whole stack of coupines, And to be quite honest with you,
I tried the chocolate one and it is fantastic. Yeah,
it is really good, tas likely chocolate morshmellow milk, and
it's great.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I love it. Some one that doesn't hurt my stomach.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
How long have you loved cereal for.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Since I was basically born.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
But it all changed for me when I was ten
and was visiting some family and I saw my uncle
eating cereal at night, right before he went to bed,
and it blew my mind. And since then I realized, Wait,
I can just have cereal all the time.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yeahs, not just for breakfast.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah so now, I mean I think I had it
for lunch yesterday. I just I ate it constantly.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Now, this smells exactly like a cinnamon Grahm cracker from Honeymade.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Oh yeah, I'm gonna like this. I have a feeling
this is going to be delicious.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
They look like cinnamon Toa's crunch. But let's go in
and see what they taste like. Hmmm, it's like it's
cinnamon Toa's crunch with no sugar.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah right, And I'm happy with it. I'm so happy
with it.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Nailed the gram cracker like it. It's exactly the same.
Yeah right, I'm very impressed.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I'm feeling like we can make tiny little s'mores with these.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
The fire pit, very tiny ones, like I really like these. Yeah,
I'm into it. I'm going to give this four bowls
and a spoon. The sugar from a cinnamon TOAs crunch.
I think really puts that out a five bowler for me. Yeah,
but this is still like if I had this, I
would eat this all the time.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
And if these get wildly popular, I could see them
coming out with chocolate ones because I do have other
varieties of honeymade gram crackers, so they could just do
them all in cereal form. This is great, I will
I'm going to go four balls. It's really good, but
I need a marshmallow or two, so I'm going four
balls on it. Greg, I'm thinking, you know our rating
skelets one to five balls and spoons are half.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Yeah, I'm going to go four bowls as well. I
love it. It's it feels like just a little too
much granulated sugar for me, but I really love the flavor.
I feel like they nailed it, and I feel like
I'm a kid again eating gram crackers for.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Breakfast or lunch or dinner. Because wait, so do you
like super sugary cereals or are you more of like
a granola type of person.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I like them all. It just depends on the mood.
Typically I'll mix. So I've been doing Cascadian Farm Barry
with UH with apple Jacks and it's a really really
good mix. I can't do either on its own, but
together it's a just a dream.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
You know what's cool? You could be the very first
guest on Andrew and Danielle's brand new podcast, Cerial Remix,
because I don't like mixing cereals. I'm just you know,
I'm a purist. But that's okay, you do you I.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Love something i'd make a habit of, but in Quarantine,
all bets are.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Off so true, the rules have changed.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Although you have seen this cereal correct, Like this one
is just an abomination to me. It's the mashup of
frosted flakes and fruit loops from Kelloggs that just came out.
We will be doing it in future episode. But you know,
it's just it's so lazy. You could just do that
with anything.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, get that out of here.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I'm liking your Cascadian Farms Applejacks thing because I feel
like you went with like a taste profile and I'm
a fan of that. Like I would never think to
mix like a granola with like an apple jack. That
seems like smart. I'm a fan, thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
And by the way, so I'm aware there are certain things.
You can't have soy nuts, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Right, Yeah, I'm a look to legoom, So I can't
do peanut butter or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
You can't have lima beans.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Can't have any kind of bean. Actually, why was lima
bean you go to?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Well, lima bean is the only legome. I mean a
peanut is also, right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
A peanut.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Yes, So I can't have captain crunch. And because of that,
I can't do any of the normal Captain crunch because
it's all made on the same machinery. Apparently that's a
pretty sad life I live.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Well, that's all right, so you get to save the
roof of your mouth. But you know another one that
it just came out and I was looking at the
ingredients and I'm pretty sure you can have it, and
it makes me sad that I didn't have time to
send it to you. But this is brand new from Kellogg's.
It's a new rice crispies, cookies and cream rice Crispies.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I saw that on your Instagram. I'm freaking out.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Out of control, and I'm pretty sure you can have
it because it's rice sugar, salt flour, malt flour, cocoa
natural flavor. That's it.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
I'm in so I think you can have it.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
If you can't find it out there in La let
me know, I'll send you a box.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I can't find it even the regular version of that
really cereal?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Which one the new one or the old one?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I'm talking like nineties?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yes, yeah, well they just changed the recipe probably about
six months ago, and everyone in the cereal you know
world is up in arms because it used to be
little chunks of rice krispy trees and it was fantastic.
They've now changed it where it's just rice crispies with
many marshmallows, and it sucks. It's an abomination.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yeah, it's gros.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
So there's actually a there's a petition online to bring
back the original one.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
But you know, I will happily sign that one.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I mean, I don't know too much about cereal, but
I do know rice krispy tree cereal was my favorite
cereal ever growing up.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yes, so you don't know too much about cereal.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
No, I mean I just eat what do we just have?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
All right? With that said, let's move on now. The
next one is really the whole reason that Greg is
a part of this because months ago he emailed me
and he's like, dude, you gotta get this cereal. It's
my favorite. I always have it when I'm over in England,
and it's from a company called Jordan's who's been around
since the seventies and they're wildly popular overseas. They do
have American versions of them, but I've never seen them
(09:59):
in stores here. So I ordered this one from Amazon.
And this one is apparently Greg's favorite.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Cereal, so this is like your go to favorite cereal.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
So yeah, it makes it more special that I can
only get it in Europe for whatever reason, but when
I'm there. So right before Lockdown, the Jonas Brothers completed
a tour in Europe for about four weeks and I
had boxes upon boxes of this in road cases that
were backstage. I mean every day, probably three bowls just
in the evening when like one before the show, won
(10:29):
during and one after. Yeah, I was obsessed And if
you don't like it, I'm gonna my feelings are going
to be hurt.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Well, i'll tell you right now, Andrew won't like it
because this is Jordan's country crisp with sun ripe strawberries
and Andrew was not a fan of like the dry
dehydrated fruits. Oh yeah, we'll see how this one goes.
And this one is a good sauce of fibery because
they like to spell fiber reversed fib Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
You know, it used to have dried blueberries, and it
used to have all kinds of berries, and then, like
I don't know, five years ago, they changed it to
just strawberries.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Websites, there's like four or five different varieties of this. Actually,
you know what, we tried a couple of weeks ago
and this one blew my mind. Let me go back
here to the Cereal museum.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
It's not a museum.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
We tried country crisp with flame raisins, so.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, but what the hell?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
They just giant raisins. I don't I've never heard of
a flame raisin before. But they're just huge, plump raisins. Wow,
I liked it.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I I the thing with dehydrated fruits. I always feel
like they go seltzery, Like the minute you put them
in your mouth, they get really like pop rock.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
You always say that it doesn't make any sense. I
never taste seltzer when I eat strawberry.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
The only one that didn't taste like it was the
all D version and it was rubbery. Yeah, and I
spit that out real quick.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Well, you haven't tried Jordan's yet.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I'm gonna go with open mind.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
You're ready, open your mind.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
So this is your walk through a fire for Cereal exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
The tastiest oats naturally country.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Is it this one?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
It's the one that has no, it's not that one. Okay,
it's number one, Like I said, that's why I number
the bags for you. Andy.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Well, I'm already liking it better than the other one
that I pulled out because I think the smaller strawberry
shapes won't be as fizzy.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
And it looks like there's little cashews in here. I
mean those are obviously oats.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Yeah, I don't know, Yeah, they're oats. It makes its
cool because it makes me feel like I'm able to
eat nuts. But uh, it's not. It's just a joke.
So yeah, I love it. Some of you guys think so.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Here on the East Coast, we're using Shopwright bowl and
basket one percent cow milk with our Jordan's. Let's go
check it out now, don't put time you like it
just because Gregor's are gashed. If you think it sucks,
say it sucks.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I don't hate it.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I feel like these strawberries have rehydrated into actual strawberries.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
The granola, I feel, is the standout in the cereal
because it's like a little sweet but not too sweet.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I think the Queen must have had something to do
with this. Shoes you're gonna use dried strawberries and our
damn cereal, they better taste like strawberries and these do
you know if you let them sit there for a
little bit, they actually taste like regular strawberries that you've
cut up and throw in here. This is really good.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
And there they're very small, so they're manageable. It's not
too big. And then you're just like, what is this
like giant piece of like wet fruit doing. It's manageable.
I think there's a good amount of crunch. And then
every now and then, like you said, there's these big
puffed oats that almost look like Cashew's.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
So I think it's a good variety.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I feel like I have to just go back to
something you said earlier. So you were eating three bowls
of this while the Jonas brothers.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Were oh yeah, during a show, during like a typical evening.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
So just like going in hardcore, this is your box.
Don't touch the box of Jordan's.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
It doesn't matter that Europe may have some of the
finest culinary institutes and food available. I just as long
as they had this five dollars box of Jordan's.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
That was good something on Amazon. It's a lot more
than five dollars, but you're worth it. They call these
silky smooth strawberries.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I'm going to give us three bowls and a spoom.
I will say the cut up fruit makes me not
hate it. Usually, like what Greg said, when it's a
big wet piece of fruit, it gets nasty. I don't
want that.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Do you know that this particular box was made in
biggles Wade, Sorry what it says made in biggles Wade,
you'd k I even know that was an actual looking
I'd like to visit biggles Wade. But I give it
four balls. I do like it. I love cereal with
fruit in it, unless they're dates. I don't like dates.
Those are stupid. But I think this is delicious. Four
balls for Jordan's.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Oh, I mean you know, I give it five or
I really appreciate. I appreciate you going through all the
trouble to get it for me.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
No trouble at all.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Do other people share the same love of the cereal
as you?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Yeah, I mean the the on tour, the brothers will
have a ball with me every now and then. They're
healthier than I am for the most part. It's not
every day.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
You made fun of for being a cereal or actually.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
In their first like big big album that came out
in two thousand and seven, it's self titled If you
look in the liner notes, when they thank me, they
say that I'm ninety eight percent cereal.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
US two Well me anyway, Yeah, I'm the two percent.
I'm a somewhat cereal all right now.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
The third one, it was just kind of a throwaway.
A listener actually sent this up. It's safe, don't worry.
It was sealed. But I mean, we we have boxes
and boxes that are shipped to us constantly from listeners
that find random cereals and supermarkets that we haven't gotten
to yet. Mostly they are store brands or like this one.
You know, when you go down the cereal aisle and
you get all the Kellogg's in the post and the
(15:40):
General Mills in like all the way to the right
is all the healthy crap. It's like the uh you know,
the grainberry and the Nature's Path and all that stuff.
Some of those are really good. So this is one
of those. It's from Freedom Foods. We've done one or
two or three of them before. Actually this is a
maple crunch.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yes, so I love maple. Meant to it.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
I love maple too.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
You do have a mad magazine look to it as
it does.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Right, because this is let's see where is this from.
I'm guessing it's a product of Australia, so you know
we're going all over the world today.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Wow, so cultured.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah, this would not be allowed in my house because
the maple. My wife does not allow maple products of
any kind in my house because she just gags from
the smell of it. And my kids can't seem to
keep maple on a waffle or French toast. It just
goes everywhere. So she's she's not allowing maple. But this
might be okay. Although it does it doesn't have a
very mapley smell. Have you sniffed it? I know? Well,
this would be bagging number three. Andrew Pop it open.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Wait did you know this is?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Sorry?
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I didn't mean to interrupt. I'm getting like a nineties
waffle Chris right. Well really, by.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
The way, I have a feeling that one of these
days Post is going to do the right thing and
bring it back. I really do right.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Oh I like the smell. Wait, have you had the
Eggo Waffle Cereal?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
No? I haven't.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Oh my god, send this man a box of Eggo
Homestyle Waffle Maple flavored cereal.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I'm not sure if he can have it. I have
to look. There's a lot of stuff in there.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I pray in Jesus's name you are able to have
the cereal because it is my favorite cereal ever.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Have you tried maple cheerios?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Oh my god, maple cheeries two?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I think I have. Yeah. Yeah, it's been a while
since I've gone to the grocery store.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
I'm not a raging fan of maple. I'm really not.
I mean, when I go to waffle House, I have
to have syrup, but otherwise I just I don't love
the smell of maple. It just smells artificial to me.
The only maple syrup I actually like is the one
that shaped like a little Canadian maple leaf in the
little glass jar, the really expensive one in the supermarket.
I like real maple. I'm not see you. You also
didn't know that log Cabin and Miss Butterworth's and all
(17:41):
those those aren't real maple syrup. Those are breakfast syrup.
There's no maple in there whatsoever? They just syrup?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Do I still love the taste?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah? All right? These look like little I don't know
Domino's ladders.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
The shapes are very confusing. Is there a reason for
the shape?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I don't know? Just says new look maple crunch.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Can you put some milk in here?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
I think it's very aerodynamic.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I'm waiting for, like a healthy cereal to say something
about the aerodynamics of it help you in some way,
shape or form.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Maybe it just helps the milk, you know, get all
around and it's an even crunch or whatever. I apologize
that I do not remember which listeners sent this. I'm
usually pretty good and I write their names on it,
So thank you very much. Whoe ever said the freedom
maple crunch?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
All right, let's try it?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
All right?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Where'd the maple taste? That say?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Smells like aple? Doesn't taste like it right.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
It's first.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
I was just thrown off by the texture to begin with.
It's so crunchy, like I was doing something wrong by
eating this.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I'm wondering. I'm wondering what kind of grain that is
because it's rice flour, sorghum, flower andy. It's got the
sorghum that you love, yelig of cornflour, sugar, silium husk.
I don't know what that's all about.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Oh, it's gonna make you poop.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah, sillium husk every day.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Really don't take any today. And it also has the
rape seed oil. I'll never understand that. Like, that's such
a strange name for a plant. I call it rape seed.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Let's just not go with that one.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
It's whoever invented that one needs to like maybe go
back to the plant school.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yeah, a little bit of salt and uh, some phosphate stuff,
sunflower lectin and natural flavors. So, I don't know, it's weird.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I don't like this. I'm just gonna be honest. It's gross.
It tastes sale. It has no flavor. I am chewing cardboard.
That's what it feels like.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I agree, it does taste stale. It's maybe we need
to let it sit in the milk for a while.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I did catch actually a nice little pinch of salt,
which was weird.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
You got the one grain of salt that's.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
In the box.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Yeah, I don't know. I'm I'm pretty thrown by this one.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
It's like driving in your car and somebody tells you, oh,
we're driving through like a maple tree orchard, and it's like,
I don't even know if that's a thing. There's no
maple tree, I don't know whatever. So you hope it
up to the tree and it's like you just get
a hint of it.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Yeah, a maple. Oh, that's right, on maple. You just
get a hint of it.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
It just comes through a little bit of crack in
the window. That's the maples.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
It doesn't taste like it smells. It was so exciting.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It doesn't taste at all. You're right. It's free from gluten, nuts, wheat, dairy, egg, soy,
and sesame. And if you look carefully, it says that
the serving suggestion there, So I guess you're supposed to
put it in a bowl behind a mural of maple
and kites I have no idea. This is the strangest thing.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I'm going to give this one bowl. It's flavorless. Not
a fan would not even go to this if it
was the last cereal on earth. Yes you would. No,
not a fan.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
So there's no cereals on earth. This is the only
one there is. And you're going like, I just don't
eat cereal anymore.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
To put it into perspective, I'd go back to eating
sour Patch kid cereal before I touch that again.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Okay, whoa whoa fighting worth?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Seriously?
Speaker 1 (20:43):
And I hated sour Patch kid cereal. That's like who
thought of that milk and sour taste?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Well, the thing is kids like candy and they see
it and they say, Mummy, buy that. Even though it sucks.
The kids don't know, and that's how they sell it.
It's gone, by the way, no more. The Jolly Ranchers
is gone, and a lot of them are being disc continued.
A lot of the stuff that we have here is
being discontinued, like Twinkies already is on the clearance shelf.
So I think the Twinkie cereal is going away as well.
These novelty things don't last very long.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yeah, Well, what do you think, Scotty, If.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
It was the last cereal on earth, I'd have a
bowl every once in a while, so I will give
it two bowls. It's okay, but it just doesn't live
up to the scent.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yeah, it's a pretty big letdown.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
I'm going to go a bowl in one spoon, and
the spoon is just for the smell.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, well then again, see, your oat milk might have
changed the way some of these tastes. So I don't know,
but I'll let you have it. Are using like plain
oat milk? Or is a vanilla? Is it flavored?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
This is a vanilla one that I have today?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Oh so jealous. I love the vanilla flavored oat milk.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
All right.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
The vanilla flavored oat milk with the Jordan's must have
tasted fantastic like Desserty almost.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Yeah, I mean it tastes delicious with almost any cereal,
and it could not save this one.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Sadly, you know, I would say, though, I'm sure a
vanilla oat milk and a chocolate cereal would just be
spectacul killer.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Oh yeah, I'm trying it. Consider it done. What do
you got?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
What's what's your cereal? Cab At all about you. What
do you have?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Oh man, I mean, well I can.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
I wanted to make sure I name drop some of
my rip favorites, which was like two thousand and four.
I was really into what is it, frosted miniweets vanilla cream. Addition,
that's when they came out with like five different versions
of frosted Mini.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
They had like the latte vanilla latte or something. Also
that's gone.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I mean, for whatever reason, this was like there was
like a blueberry, there was a strawberry.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
They had fancy names, and the vanilla one.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
I was obsessed with, and yeah, see the blueberry one
remains it for some reason stood through all all these years.
But for vanilla cream was by far the best one,
and they discontinued it after a year, and it was devastating.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I had this is when I was in college. At
any given moment, like five boxes in my room. I
was obsessed.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I love this. And I know you're like, you're like
super looking forward to a coffee cereal and I know
there's supposed to be one coming out. I still see
pictures of that Duncan mocha cereal from General Mills. I
don't know, I don't know. What's going on. I haven't
seen anything else about it, but there is a picture
of it floating around online. So fingers crossed. Even though
I'm not a fan of coffee flavored things, but you know,
I would get a shot.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Flavored ice cream is my favorite ice cream. I love
coffee flavored ice cream.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Coffee is my other passion. So this would be the
best of both worlds.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
What other the worst? What other rip cereals are you
a fan of?
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Man, it is seven thirty am over here. I'm having
trouble remembering everything. But there was another cereal that I
was so obsessed with. Wait, it was like, I have
to look it up, Scotty. I think I sent it
to you at one point, but it was like maple
nut crunch, but there was a lot of other words
that were involved. I was obsessed with this cereal. It's
(23:47):
another one of those that has granola. It has some flakes,
it has a little caramel like balls in there, and
it was delicious, and they discontinued it. I had one
box remaining. It was unopened. This is around two and nine.
I went home for Christmas and I had a friend
stay at my place, and I said, and you can
do whatever you want, do not open this box. Of
(24:08):
saving it for a special occasion, I was saving it
like it was like a nice wine for like when
I get a job promotion. And sure enough she has
some guy stay over and the next morning she wakes
up and he's just like this is incredible, and he's
just he's just pounding this cereal, just eating ball after
bowl and she's like no, no, and then it was
(24:29):
it was all gone by the time I got back,
and I didn't even get to eat the last bowl.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
And Ladies and Gentlemen visit has been.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Serial Killers Visits the Cereal.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Great. Sorry, I haven't got to play that in quite
a long time because Andrew doesn't allow it.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Because it's nice. It's a nice jingle. But I feel
like caramel in a cereal? Have I ever had caramel
in a cereal?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, there's been some stuff.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
It was very tastefully done. I must say.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
One of the honey bunches of votes had caramel. There's been.
And then the apple Jack's Caramel Apple.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Yes, I loved that one. I was a big fan
of that.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
It was all right.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
And then there was another one that was like an
Apple version of post selects that I believe that we.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Ses that's the one you told me about, Yes, and
I gave you the rest of whatever the box that
I had that was close, Yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
It was close.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
It was not the same thing. And it was another
one of those where they had multiple versions of these
selects and that was the only my favorite one got
discontinued and the other seemed to survive.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I feel like you two are in a serial bromance,
and I'm.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Just I'm really actually, I'm kind of nervous that we
even talked about Jordan's because it seems like every time
I declare a.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Favorite cereal, it goes away.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
We can't let anyone know.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Well, if you have road cases full of it. I
feel like it's funny because right now all Andrew heres
is there's no idea what's going on here?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
No his cereal sounds good.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
I have to say, Okay, Well, I mean, I guess
we did them all. Yeah, when we did our three.
I really appreciate you coming on. Thank you for waking
up so early.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Yes, oh guys, this was an absolute pleasure and an honor.
And I hope you have me back at some point.
I'd love to be back. I've got my tiger paws
over here that I sent him the Tiger Pause.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I love tiger paus.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Don't you remember the Joe Jonas Tiger pau story?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
No?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
No, it was incredible.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
The really really quick version of it is we went
out to this was a long time ago, went out
to a restaurant. He ordered tiger prawns and he's allergic
to shellfish. Had no idea, and then when the food
came out, he was like, why why do you give
me shellfish? That is not what I ordered? And they're like, yeah, yeah,
you ordered a tiger Ponty's like, no, I ordered a
tiger paw. He thought it said tiger paw on the menu.
(26:43):
And we joke about it constantly. This was like fifteen
years ago. And then I can't believe Kellogg's put out
the Tiger Pause serial. I've already sent him multiple photos.
He's loving it.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
I loved it so much. That's the closest you're going
to get to Rice Krispy Treats, the old version.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Have you tried it?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
No?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I was saving it.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Yeah, I'm gonna I don't know if we're gonna eat
it on the show. So I'm excited. I'm gonna have
it for breakfast right after we're done.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Good.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
And it's weird because they it's marketed as a snack,
but yet it says Cereal in their tiny little letters.
So we figured it's okay to do on the show.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Well cool, Thank you so much. Great. I appreciate you
waking up man. I know it's early as all hell there.
Thank you, and please follow us on social media at
Serial Killers PC. That's Cereal with the C. Follow Greg
