Speaker 1 (00:00):
So we're ready now, Yes, yes, hi hi hi, hi,
hi hi, this is Serial Killers.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
You it sounds like vinegar in here. I'm sorry, did
you have vinegar today?

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Are implying that I smelled like an old man?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
No, something smells like white vinegar.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
I don't. I don't do vinegar.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
I hate me too, so I don't know where that
smell could be coming from.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
I will never eat those chips me either.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
This. Let me tell you something why. I don't want
that terrifying.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
It's a weird feeling on your tongue.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
It is nasty.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Welcome to Serial Killers. It's the podcast where we eat
cereal and we rate it and we tell y'all about it.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Y'all, y'all, wow, you ready for today? Absolutely?

Speaker 3 (00:40):
So you know you came in. I was looking for
I wanted to bring back the cereal graveyard. I was
looking for maybe like a Halloween old cereal, maybe that
we haven't talked about yet. But I can't really find anything.
There haven't been all that many, like mainstream Halloween cereals
except for the monster cereals. A couple of randoms here
and there, like the Captain Bunch and the Pebbles and whatever.

(01:01):
But we've seen all those.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Now, we've seen them all. We've seen them all.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Water phones do that. By the way, you don't touch record,
but it just starts recording. I hate that.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
It just does the things. And you know what I
don't like is that they have a microphone that does
voice to text, but then sometimes it has a little
other microphone on the side where it does voice. Note
Like why why are they both microphones.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Let's save it for bull chat because we're gonna do
that next. Oh, anyway, this is serial killers. We are
going to eat. Now. Here's the thing that's been happening lately. Andrew.
You know that once we try these cereals, I like
to put them all out by the kitchen so other
people can enjoy them and they don't get stale and
go to waste.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
The problem is so now because I do that, we
don't have open cereals in here anymore. So people like
to come in and say, hey, what you got, and
I'm like, don't touch them, but then they wind up
getting opened. So today is a cereal that was opened
yesterday by Diamond. She opened it port a cup and like,
can't eat this, I can't have almonds. And then just
throw it out. And what is it called cereal?

Speaker 2 (02:01):
What?

Speaker 3 (02:03):
It's Quaker. It's a new Quaker granola that came out.
It's a protein granola. This is maple and brown sugar.
And even though there are almonds blatantly on the front
of the box, she didn't realize it until she read
the ingredients.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Well, maybe she should look at the picture closer.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah. So anyway, this box was opened yesterday, just so
it's fresh. Okay, I get it, and I rolled the
bag down properly. So this is another one of the
Quaker protein granolas. We did another one a few weeks ago.
I think it was an apple something or other. There's
your dad on the box. It smells it smells very
very mapley.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
I'm excited for this one.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
I don't know if I am, because you know, I'm
not a huge fan of maple.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I love Quaker cereals or Quaker granola or not granola. Sorry,
oh my god, my brain is not oatmeal. Oh me,
which one's your favorite? The brown sugar and it's my
favorite other than original.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
That's like the plainest of the plane.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, what are you gonna do?

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Nothing? I used to like the dinosaur egg ones.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Oh, my god, that's my other favorite. I actually buy
that frequently.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
All right, So I'm gonna go back to the fridge
we have back here. There's a little bit of controversy
with the milk this week. Let me just get what
I have left over first.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Okay, Wow, controversial. I wonder why it's controversial.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Well, I mean it's controversial because I had you order
milk for me from the little deli down the street
this morning, and I specifically ordered two percent milk, and
they sent fat free, as if that's an acceptable replacement. No, Oh,
it smells in there. You smell that somebody's food is
in there.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well, maybe take it out. I had to clean out
Elvis's fridge. It reeked so bad, and then I saw
I was like, is this new or old? But then
I was staring at something that I thought was like rice.
It turns out it was just avocado that was black.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Anyway. This is the milk that I stole from my daughter. Yeah,
took it from the house yesterday morning. This is sat skim.
It's coffee. It's splattered on there. This is skin. It
feels like it's not this. It's the refrigerator, so it's lactose. Free,
fat free, but a little creamier because it's skim plus.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
So this granola has some big old chunks, just like
a busted up granola bar. There's a few almonds there
and some other granola type things. So get it all
on a spoon, andy, Okay, hmm, Well you definitely got
a lot of maple in there, there's no doubt. Oh,

(04:16):
the other variety that we tried, let's see oats honey
raisins and almonds and oats honey and almonds without the raisins.
We did one of both of those. I don't know.
Check cereal COSPC dot com and you can see all
the cereals we did. This one has a leaf on
the back, so it's very fallish, folish and maple leaf.
That's a maple leaf Canada. That it's nice if you

(04:40):
like maple.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
I do like maple. I will say, this isn't scratching
the itch that I thought it would. It's not good.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
This is great.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
It's not great. That did thank you?

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Oh they're great. Yeah, you got tigers on your titties.
I do tiger titties.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
I feel like I'm eating crunchy oatmeal. Yeah, and I
don't love that. So I'm gonna give this three bowls
in a spoon because the taste is good. I just
think I was expecting something a little different.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
There needs to be more to it, Like there needs
to be something else in here, maybe like a walnut
or something. Yeah, they don't really do cereal with walnuts,
do they. We had that one crazy, remember that, like
fi Remember that like Fireman cereal a while back that
had everything. It was like everything, every nut on the planet. Yeah,
I mean it's pretty good. I give it three balls.

(05:34):
It's okay.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
I think peacans would help it.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
No, I don't do those. I just don't like them.
I do remember. I remember driving back from Florida. My
dad would always stopp in like Georgia or something. When
he had the the Volkswagen Rabbit diesel tied with all
kinds of stuff. We'd bring bushels of fruit on the
back tied to the back with the moped. I don't
know why there was a moped on the back, but
it's all on my head now. And then we would

(05:58):
stop in Georgia and buy a bushel of peacan. Okay,
I remember they were like tan shells and ovally.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
I don't like pecans. Okay, just saying great. I don't
know why that memory just came back to me. Well, great,
I found a bunch of pictures yesterday. You'll laugh at
some of them.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Oh. Oh, I can't wait to see him.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
That picture was in there. That's why it reminded me.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
I'm excited to see these photos.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Okay, Well, we're gonna move on to the next cereal.
Thank you, Quaker. Yeah, well, don't thank them. I paid
for it. But we can thank our friend Matt because
always this is another top supermarket cereal.

Speaker 2 (06:29):

like keep the show running. So shout out to them.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yeah, and the and the Wegman girls. And we have
all kinds of friends. Yeah, I love them.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Oh, corn flakes corn for from tops.

Speaker 3 (06:45):

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Oh my mom bought a cereal.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Oh I can't wait to hear what this one is.
Oh did you get did you guys see this one? Yeah?
We did it four years ago.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Why are you being me to my mother? Sorry, don't
be mean to Donna. Hey Donna, Well you got to
do me like that?

Speaker 3 (06:59):
What you get us?

Speaker 2 (07:00):
She got to stop and chop something or other. It's
very thoughtful because we haven't had anything stop and chop.
Yes we have, what if we had a lot, show
me I'm about to you should here you go, you all.
You also can go to serial killerspc dot com and
that way you can see all the cereals that we've
done that Donna should have done. But that's okay, Donna,

(07:21):
I really appreciate it. Does sound like it.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
No, I do. I think she thought of us. That's
very She always thinks of you, but this time she
thought of me a little bit. We definitely did stop
and shop.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, I know, we definitely know we have somewhere is it? Uh? Giants?

Speaker 3 (07:38):
There we go, we've done.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
She got us one that we didn't have. She got
us the Krispy Squares. Oh cool, Yeah, there it's there
for us, tod it's their Cinnimental's crunch.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Oh yeah, love that. Yeah, I think I might have
it here?

Speaker 2 (07:52):
What?

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Oh no, I have a different one. We're good. She's good.
She's good.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Thank you, and brought us one back from their trip
to Ireland. Ooh yeah, cinnamon crisps. Oh wait a second,
hold on, Oh my god, you have them right there?
I see them?

Speaker 3 (08:09):
No, oh, Donna Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna, Dona, Donna.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
She bought these back on Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Oh, she's so sweet. She should donate them now she
will be Thanksgiving is coming up and they need cereal.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Oh trust me. She goes ham on those mmmham and
she gets the free ham from shop right.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yeah, I love it. Look at that. I don't remember
somebody sent us that out.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Can we just do it this episode?

Speaker 3 (08:34):
I might have bought it. You want to do it,
We'll do it the other one away? Okay, sorry, Uncle Crumbles,
you'll be next week by Uncle Crumble. Here you go.
Here's your corn flakes, Andrew.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
This is gonna be very generic, very plain, but this
should also be inframe. Let's be thinking about the on
camera aesthetic.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
I like that. There's actually a little touch of sweetness,
just a touch. Yes, I like it. I would eat
this actually.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
M no, what no? There's something what off?

Speaker 3 (09:11):
It doesn't taste exactly like your now Kellogg's cornflakes with
you know Cornelius rooster on the front. Whot cornelias the rooster?
I like the milk has turned yellow, though, I don't
think I love it really.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Now, something's off. I'm gonna give it three bowls.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
I'm gonna give it four balls.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
I think if this was my only option for a
corn flake, yes, manageable, but knowing what a corn flake,
like a good Cornelius cornflake, tastes like, this does not match.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
I feel like I could also, like maybe confuse it
for frosted flakes, A little bit like a very.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Dull old box of frosted flakes.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
There's like the ingredient is great.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
There's nothing in here fat free and cholesterol yellow cor.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
I gotta watch the cholesterol. I'm having problems anyway.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
No cup, the vapors, yellow co sugar, salt, and barley
malt extract.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
That's it. That's literally all it's in here. He's pretty good.
Tops good job. Maybe you should have water. I had
seltzer before.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
That doesn't count as water.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
It's water based, okay, cool.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Everything is water based. We do this at least once
a month.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
But at least it wasn't a diuretic like your iced tea.
What you told me, iced tyas dies diuretic.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
So you're peeing, but then you're also filling it up
with stuff that's not water. Just drink water.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
I'm getting dizzy. Milk also has water. Comes from cows.
It's liquid. Liquid is liquid. Liquid goes through you. That's
all it is. You drink liquid to go through you
and keep you hydrated.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Right, everybody who's listened to this has gotten dumber because
of what you just said. We have to go to
a commercial.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Oh see, I forgot. I think I might need to
go to the hospital.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Oh really, yeah, you have to go to the hospital.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
I might have to got it? Uh And as Wilford says,
it's the right thing to do, Well, we're back.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
No welcome, I said, welcome. Okay, you know our friend Nick?

Speaker 3 (11:03):
I do Oh, our friend Nick, the guy that used
to work here, Yes, right with the goats.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yes, his blood pressure actually went super high. Why would
he like, no idea. He just can't stop passing out.
And his blood pressure went up to two sixty.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Like the goats that pass out.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah, when they get scared. Yeah, what that's why when
you're like, let's go to the hospital my blood pressure,
I'm forgetful. Just no, people might be actually passing out
and have bad blood pressure.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
No, I'm not kidding. I'm not in a good way
right now.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
You're not in a good way right now.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
I made a cardiologist appointment. He couldn't see me till tuesday,
So we're gonna have a problem. I think.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Does your insurance good? Like? Does it cover everything for.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
The most part, not dental?

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Oh thank you Jesus, dude.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
I need a crown really bad and I'm not paying
for it.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
How much are crowns with insurance? It's eight hundred and
sixty dollars. Geez.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
So I guess I'll just have a hurt tooth. Yeah,
all right, So you tell me what these are, Indy,
because Donna bought them.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
My mom bought these, but this is not the box
she bought. Sorry, Mom. It's cinnamon crisps. I guess it's stopping,
which is giant maybe if you live in a different
part of the country.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Very good, very good.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
This is their version of cinnamon Toa's crunch.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
It is, but they already don't look the same.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
The patterns on there are weird. They're trying to go
for the same cinnamon the cinnamon guy. Actually, no, cinnamon
is applejacks. Did you know that? You didn't? Okay, you
know nothing about cereal.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
I love the little milk carton.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah he's cute, he is.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
Do you like my weedy shirt?

Speaker 2 (12:28):
It's so cool. Did you pull that out from your closet?

Speaker 3 (12:31):
Well, that's usually where I keep my shirts, That's.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
What I'm saying your but your storage closet or your attic,
I should say, was this one of the ones that
was in rotation actual closet.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
There's not enough cinnamon on this or sugar. It's very,
very underwhelming. This is one cereal where I would not buy.
The generic cinnamon Toa's crunch is way better. There's actually
like granual sugar cinnamon on cinnamon TOAs crunch. I don't know,
what do you say? What do you do? Are you good? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (13:01):
This is like so much cinnamon? No, like there's a
lot of cinnamon.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
No, no, no, just add a little cinnadust. I literally
can't eat this.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
You poured half the bottle in here.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
I just sprinkled some cinnamonta sprinkle.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
You poured, but.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
I accidentally opened the spoon section.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Eat this, it's congealed.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
I opened the spoon section instead of the sprinkle section.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
I literally can't even use this, like it's all floating.
It's like a mess.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Like you should try it.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
I'm not trying this. I don't want to die. That
would be the Cinnamon Challenge much better.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
It's club club big Okay. It doesn't have enough cinnamon sugar,
and there's no doubt about it.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Look at what you did.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
Please eat it. Come on, dude, for the show. You
eat it, no spoon.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
It's like disgusting mud. Now I didn't mind it. I'm
gonna give it four bowls. Wow, it tastes cinnamony. It
didn't need this cynadust. Although cinna mintoast crunch is delicious,
it doesn't need this.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
It's getting two balls in a spoon for me because
it's just you're expecting cinnamon toast crunch and this is
not it.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
When I tell you the amount that you poured in,
I'm so sorry to go back to it. It went
from like a liquid to a solid, like I can't move.
It's like oatmeal.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Now, cinnadust, what's in this cinnamon and sugar?

Speaker 2 (14:20):
That's terrifying.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
It's literally it.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Well, why is it making? Like? Why it's become.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
Solid because I put a lot in there that I
didn't know there was a thing. It congeals it.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Physics, yes, or chemistry one of those. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
Biology, we both failed. Oh my god. I never took
any of those times.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
I wasn't allowed to take physics.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
Wasn't allowed. Yeah, it would hurt yourself with a pendulum. No,
what isn't that physics?

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Beca isn't Harry Potter. It's hurt walking with pendulums to glass.
I just didn't have my broomstick. I couldn't go to
math class.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
It's the compass, right, the compass, or is that the
protractor which is the one with the point that they
don't do any more? Protractor right? And that's geometry the
pencil and the point that kids would stab each other with.
Now they're like they're not sharp anymore. When I was
a kid that were metal, it was. It was a
stabbing device. You wouldn't go through the airport with it.

(15:10):
That's how that's how sharp those things were.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Were you trying to travel with your pro trip?

Speaker 3 (15:14):
I did. I did once I had to go on
a math trip. Yeah, what I was so sorry?

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Explain your math trip? What?

Speaker 3 (15:23):
I don't know. I just remember how I remember having
a protractor in my bag at the airport one time
and it didn't matter.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Then you could take it though there wasn't tsa no.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
No, you want to bring a knife. Go ahead. Yeah,
you could even bring a small gun if you'd like.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Well, my mom on nine to nine, two thousand and one,
we were in Texas coming back. She didn't bring her
ID for some reason, and she showed her Costco card
and that's how.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
She got through security. Shut the hell up. Yep, Wow,
how times her changed different time? For sure. I was
standing behind somebody when we were flying back from Florida
and they didn't have a real ID, so they they
flag them. They let them travel, but they had to
move over to the other side for further inspection. So
if you have the new do you have TSA pre
I don't do that.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
I'm not gonna do this. But with the new TSA PREX,
I don't know. They made TSA like ridiculous. Down with
the forty two different lines. Oh you have clear, Oh
you have clear plus, you have TSA pre Oh you
have TSA pre faceless, the faceless one. You don't even
need an idea anymore. They literally scan your face and
they let you go.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
That's amazing. Yeah, that's how it should be.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
So now with I don't even have a real ID
and I don't know.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Hey, we gotta go. Thank you for listening. Is the
refrigerator that's Nate's food, it says Nathan on it. Well,
