(00:22):
See I wait to talk after the big loud, obnoxious
drone that's called a drone long Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
No, it sounds like the Inception movie. Did you ever
see Inception?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
No? But did you see the remake of Chips? Yes? No,
it was Chips ninety nine and then there was another
one was there was multiple remaking with what's his name?
They all suck Dak Sheppard yep, yeah, and Michael Pena Penya,
that's right, Penya, Yeah, something like that. Welcome to Serial Killers.
It's episode eighty four. It's President's Day, it's Monday. Show
is off. But you know what, we're here because we
(00:52):
care so much. Yeah, so much caring. So are you hungry?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I'm also in Japan, so if you're looking at my Instagram,
you'll see Japan pictures.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Oh and I'm on a cruise somewhere in the Caribbean. Whoops,
good thing we took.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
You know, we we each coordinated schedules. That's what I
like about this.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, we did, so we came back real quick to
do this, and then we're gonna go fly out again,
except until Friday. Then we'll come back again and leave again.
So thank you for listening. It's Serial Killers. It's episode
eighty four, and we have some cereal to try. Yeah,
and I again. We'll let you choose whether you'd like
new or oh new right away? New? Okay, this one's
from twenty eighteen, still new because it's only not even
two years later. Yeah, what are you looking at? I
(01:31):
just thought I heard something. Oh your computer dinging? No, okay,
your millennial machine back there making noise.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
So now just computers are called millennial machines. We stop
calling the computers. Only millennials use the computers. You're not
using a computer right now. This is a millennial machine.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yes, you know what, Scott logic. Mine's a gen xbox. Okay, yep,
that's what we call it. All right, So I'm gonna
go down and get the new one, chen xbox. What. So,
we've had a couple of different varieties of this before,
we have not this one. It is strawberry flavored. You
okay with that? Yeah, there's no dried strawberry Jesus so
(02:07):
it's just strawberry flavored. Hopefully it's a naturally flavored cereal.
I love it. I don't really know how to give
you a hint of what it's going to be, so
just gonna take it out. Look at that Life strawberry
strawberry Life multi grain cereal. Look at the mascots. Could
you guess strawberries? Yes, I'm glad greg T is not
around because you know he would have something to say
about that.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Well. I mean, he also hates a rating scale, he
hates the podcasting, but I loved having him on.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I didn't rain or shine. Life is full of beautiful moments. Aw,
there's calcium in here. It's a good source of calcium
cool so you can eat it without milk and still
your bones can be strong or so they say. Yeah,
it was nice and easy to open that flot. What
do you keep looking around? What are you looking at?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I had a cup of span is just like I
had a cup of coffee before.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So now I'm like, you're like a goldfish. You have
no idea what's going on?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Hey, welcome to Cereal Killers.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
This is episode eighty four. I just ripped the bag open.
You know I should have saved wheedies for this episode
because Mary Lourettin won the gold medal for gymnastics in
nineteen eighty four, and that would have been perfect. What cool, Scott,
who's Mary lou Wretton? We did wheaties? I don't remember?
Is that the breakfast of champions? These are your children?
(03:19):
That's right? Remember your children? And why are you so
like stupid and Millennia?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Like? Are we just going to do a full episode
mocking each other one day? No?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Because it's it's cute like for a minute and then
it's annoying. Wow that aim though. Are you sure you
weren't trying to be a professional NBA player? Yes? All right,
you get two percent. I get one percent? Sorry, all right,
here we go, ready, one, two, three? I like it?
You barely have in your mouth? I like it?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Right?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I do?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I give this four bolls. It's sweet.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Here's what I'm getting, got some good taste to it.
I'm getting life cereal with a bit of old school
Nesti quick strawberry powder in the can. Remember that, no,
did not have can powdered can milk. Wait a minute,
the little Nestli rabbit. What the hell was that? I
had some chunk stuck in my throat the Nestli rabbit. Yeah,
(04:13):
the powdered the powder for the powder, the powder. Okay,
so you've seen the chocolate milk powder right in the canister. Yes, well,
they used to have strawberry. I think they still do.
But when I was a kid, it was in a
little rectangle metal thing and you had to use like
a quarter to open the top. It was a little
metal circle on top, and you'd go click and you
would open it and then kind of pound it back down.
(04:34):
Powder would go everywhere when you closed it. Yeah, it's
not the best design. No, well that's why they changed it.
Now it's just a plastic container. Yeah, good good. I
like it. Four bowls. I would eat this like actually,
like regularly. You know, it's funny a lot of times
you say five balls everything. I'll eat this so delicious.
And you never touch any of that cereal back there
except the Eggo. That's it. You know, Eggo is my favorite.
(04:55):
I understand that. But I think that you really don't
like cereal. Okay, I think you do this podcast. You
do not like cereal. You just give it these you know,
bogus ratings. You never eat it. Uh huh are you
still talking? What's your typical Saturday morning breakfast?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Well, as I said in the last episode, I have
a box of rice Krispy Streets, I have a box
of Ryan's World, and I have a box of Eggo.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Well, you've had them for a long time, So what's
your typical breakfast? You should have finished those already. Well,
I go. I know you don't buy cereal because I
buy it for it.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Well, it depends on if I'm home on a weekend.
Sometimes I go home to my parents for the weekend,
which then I'll have their cereal.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
But you do eat cereal? Yes, okay, I gleek, I
gleaked on the microphone. You're so weird.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Why I like that you decided to go like all
investigators Scott on us, Like, where were you on the
morning of Saturday? Uh, the sixth of February?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
What are you eating your cereal?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
You ate cereal? I'm just curious. February six was not
a Saturday by that way, whatever, it was a Thursday. Whatever.
I know these things. Tomato tomato. Nobody says tomato. Yeah,
people in the UK do, right, So there's no reason
to have that saying here because nobody here says tomato.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Well maybe you win like this Settle Malone.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Who's that guy that just walked in? It looks like, no,
it's not post malone. You're spinning life all over the place.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I know. It's like I need like a I mean
a mask called the splash.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Oh oh yeah, you are all right nasty? Did I
rate that? Four balls? Also for me? Four and four?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
How often do you eat cereal on the daily?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Every day of my life? Just about?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, eat, breathe, sleep cereal?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I alwish they made a shirt that said that unless
I go out for breakfast. You know, I'll take Cooper
to the diner from time to time, but I won't
get cereal there. Like that drives me crazy. They have
those little boxes up there, and they charged four dollars
for it. That's ridiculous. I get a whole box for
a quarter.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
You got me two boxes of Vego cereal forty nine cents?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, well yeah, fifty yeah? Okay, are you dying? There's
a chunk of life stuck in the back of my
throat and I can't get it out. That could be misconstrued,
I suppose it could, all right, So would you like
to move on to the classic, because if anything's going
to get stuck in our throat, it's going to be
the classic. Oh boy, you're not going to You're not
going to be happy with this. I kind of wanted
(07:03):
to wait for Danielle for this one because she'd be
hacking up along. No, let me go down to the
cereal sack. It's been around for you know a while. Yeah,
we've had one other variety rotidy from this company. We
had their flakes with strawberries, and if you knew your children,
you could remember right away what it was. Oh boy,
it's five er one, the original fiber one. This is
(07:25):
going to be reminiscent of All Brand, remember that one,
the bird next Cereal? I did? I like All Brand?
I think you did, Danielle, and I gaged you like
with the basic taste. Excuse me, are you a cat?
I don't know what's going on. You're I there's no words.
So here's fiber one Cereal, whole grain original brand Cereal,
sixty five percent daily value of fiber and zero added sugar.
(07:48):
So let's check the ingredients. Whole grain wheat, corn brand,
modified wheat starch, color gower gum cellulose gum, salt, baking soda, sucralose,
which is a sweetener and natural flavor. It's got one
of those new box tops. Yeah, I know, what's what?
All the gum in it? Gowergum, I don't think is good.
You remember back in the eighties, I don't remember the eighties,
but they used to be a Briar's commercial and someone
(08:11):
would be reading the ingredients from some other ice cream brand,
Gower gum. What's that?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
So?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I don't know why there's Gower gum in the cereal,
but I guess we'll find out. You look at me
with this blank stare. I don't know what you're talking about, dude.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Well, because ninety nine percent of the time you just
go off, Okay, look at this two sleeves.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
It's in two separate bags. I like that. It's interesting.
I don't I don't know how you'd be able to
pour it, but you know, anyway, so back in the
eighties when they sold ice cream in the half gallon containers.
You know nowadays it's like a plastic cover and you
take it off or whatever. When I was a kid,
it was just this cube and it was a box
and you just kind of open up the side of
the box and would ooze all over the place when
it melted, and you'd have to kind of latchet closed.
(08:51):
And the big brand was Dolly Madison. I don't know,
I'm sorry, Dolly Madison. Yeah, Dolly Madison ice cream? What
happened to her? Had seal test? They made ice milk?
What happened Dolly Madison? She died years ago? All right,
here we go. That took a turn. Don't you know
who Dolly Madison is? No, she was a president's wife
or something. Look up Dolly Madison. Okay, I think she
(09:13):
was probably President Madison's wife. Hold on, I think she
was a first lady, Dolly. Dolly Madison was not a
first lady. Wasn't there a President Madison?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
But wait she was? Yeah, what's up now?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
So they named an ice cream after a president's wife. Yeah,
that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Now. This stuff looks like, you know, when you go
to the petting zoo. I think I said this about
all brand too. While you go to the petting zoo
and you put the quarter in the little gumball machine
and feed comes out, and that's pretty much what this
looks like. What are you doing on your phone there?
What are you doing on your phone? My phone's in
my pocket.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah, the past like six episodes, you you're the one
who's getting phone calls.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Well, it's because my wife has been like telling me
important things. By the way, I can now reveal that
we are either going to be on or we're on
the Rachel Ray Show. I don't know when this episode
it probably already aired. I don't know, So check your
local listings for the Rachel Ray episode that I'm on. Yeah,
I don't know how you're gonna do it. What are
you doing on your hurry? Because what are you doing?
I'm recording? What do you stop it? What are you doing?
(10:13):
Cut it out? All? Let's try money of recording you
you're ready before it gets soggy? Okay, well, I mean
it's not really gonna change it. Yes, yes, I could
see what you would think. This is not bad love that.
I don't think you love it because you're not gonna
eat it ever again. I'll eat this a gum. Oh yeah, yeah,
like next week, if I want to pretend I'm being healthy,
(10:34):
I'll eat this could really taste that gower gum. Yeah.
I was gonna say that it has a very strong
gower gum taste. Let it be known. Scott's gonna still
be on.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Rachel Ray still haven't been contacted about Survivor yet, Scott.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I'm sorry, but they reached out to me too, So
what's up now? They reached out to you. Yeah, Survivor
wants you to be Honestel, Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I would actually pay money to see you on Survivor.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I would not survive.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Do you know sometimes they do seasons where people are together. Really,
would we make a good on Survivor together?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
No, because we were just fight and fight and fight.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Well no, No, we'd probably start off on two separate teams,
and then if we both made it, we'd have to
like work together.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
This is cereal. It's really hard to swallow. I don't
think so. Toward the end, it tastes like artificial sweetener,
three bowls in a spoon, the sucralose, I think what.
It just tastes like artificial sweetener. Hey, one of your
things back there just made a noise. One of your
millennial devices just dung my laptop two balls for top
dung it dang or dung. You're an idiot? Okay, did
(11:30):
you rate it?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I said, three bulls in his spoon, two bowls. All right, cool?
So should we go international? Should we go to the graveyard?
Should we go bonus? Serial Killers?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Why would you ask me where I want to go
and then you just pick it?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I don't know. So in the last episode I talked
about that old maultomeal commercial with the guy down on
his est. Yeah, so I actually found the commercial. It's
from the early nineties. Oh here give you know. More
people are walking this way, so they're in a better
position to find multimial cereals. They're usually down tires. You
should try it. Multimeal tastes every bit as good as these. See.
(12:11):
Bet you can't tell the difference, and they cost about
a dollar less multi meal. See if you can taste
the difference, you really ought to come down here. So
what he's trying to show you is that multimeal cereals,
at least they used to be on the bottom shelf. Yeah,
so you'd have to go down to the bottom shelf
to grab the bags. Huh. And you know because the
big cereal makers, they pay to have their cereals at
(12:34):
eye level. Yeah, that's how it works in the supermarket
and the budget cereals are usually down the end or
you know, on bottom or whatever. So anyway, multimeal. This
cereal came out in nineteen eighty nine, the one that
we're about to try as the bonus box. You ready, Yeah,
you're gonna be happy, okay, because it's not in a bag.
Oh you ready?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Is it in a cube that we have to cut
open and then hope it seals back together?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
No, it's in a box. Twoty Fruity's what's the matter.
It's just a box that's so small. Yeah, well I
got it for a dollar. It's a dollar store.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I love that they have the guarantee try me or
it's free. Yes, we had a problem with that once.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Remember which one? I don't remember which one it was?
Which one I don't remember? Oh my god, why are
you burping into mind? I'm sorry. The bird nest just
came up.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
The bird nest. This isn't even bird nest. If fiber
one was not bird nesty people.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Oh my god, it is. You can I can build
you know what. I'm going to build a nest out
of it and put in my backyard, and I guarantee
you birds come to it.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Okay, birds will come to anything, and I hope they
poop on your head.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Oh my god, I can only imagine that walking outside
with as fiber one. These smell wonderful. These smell just
like fruit loops. Can I smell? Yeah? Oh yeah, just
like fruit loops? Very so, did they make kool Aid cereal? Okay?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Did they ever make kool Aid cereal?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Oh? But they should? Right? Yeah? I feel like this
is the podcast of dreams and imagination. You know, Well,
whatever happen coming up with big brand ideas, whatever happened
with the petition to get Cinnabon Cereal back, I think
it stopped at one hundred. Well, like Cinnabon actually liked it, Yeah,
they were into it, but Kellogg's was not having it.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Well, maybe Cinnabon liked it to just like give you
that insider tip like we're working on it.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
No, I don't think so, because that was Cinnabon. Cinnabon
in my alternate universe, it exists again. They just they
licensed their name out to a cereal company. They really
don't have anything to do with it. Well, all right,
here we go. Two D Fruity is the knockoff fruit
loops from Malta Meal.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
We should stop calling it knockoff, because I don't think
it's a knockoff.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Okay, the alternate imitation. It's the alternate fruit loops. And
it tastes just like fruit loop identical. Yep, maybe a
little sweeter. It's wonderful balls.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yep, wait, what that's it. I'm giving this five balls
because I like fruit loops, so this is like the
same thing. Haven't had fruit loops in a while too.
Their fruity Dino Bytes were also wonderful. They were right
up there just as good as fruity Palal. When I
say one thing about that, I actually preferred the fruity
Dino bytes too.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Gandhi said the same thing.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
They're sweeter, and I'm not a big pebbles fan. I
find the shape. I don't like that they dissipate in
the milk. It annoys me, but I gotta say dry
the Dino bites did it.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
The thing with that is Multimeal is made by Post,
so fruity Pebbles and fruity Dino Bites pretty much are
exactly the same this. However, foot loops are made by Kellogg's,
so these are wonderful. I like them. Yep, five bulls.
All right, four balls from me, great job, tooty fruity,
very good. So this has been a very successful episode
number eighty four tuty from the Facts of Life. Yes,
I got it right, and that's how it's spelled too.
(15:27):
Look at that. Huh the Facts of Life? I insert
theme song here.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Well how did it good?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
You take the bad? You take them both? In there
you have the Facts of Life? Is that? The Facts
of Life?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Is that the one where they were like girl scouts.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
They weren't girl scouts. They were at a prep school
in Peak Skill in New York, and Missus Garrett was
the den master whatever the hell she want. And one
of the girls was on Survivor Really Oh yeah, Blair,
Wenchell Winchell Wenchell Blair was the character. Yeah. I don't know,
she made it really far in Survivor Really. Yeah. Well,
the first season of the Facts of Life was just
a mishmash, like Molly Ringwald was on it, and there
(16:02):
was a bunch of random people, and they got rid
of them by second season because it was just too
many random characters.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I love going back to first seasons of shows and
you just see the casting changes.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
And George Clooney was on the Facts of Life. You
know that. Yeah, he was the handyman at Edna's Edibles.
I'm guessing it wasn't pot what's Edna's edibles?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Well, why would I know Edna's edibles if I've never
seen Facts of Life?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
You've never seen Facts of Life? No, so how do
you know that who Tuty is?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Because Facts of Life is a pop culture show. And
like I said, that girl was on Survivor. I'll give
you ten dollars if you can name another character other
than Tudy or Blair.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Oh damn, I was gonna say Blair one of the
girls I went to the school. Come on, Edna. No,
that was Missus Garrett.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, Missus Garrett. No, Kyle, there's Natalie Selene, Joe, Joe.
Speaker 1 (16:48):

Speaker 2 (00:57):
I'm also in Japan, so if you're looking at my Instagram,
you'll see Japan pictures.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Oh and I'm on a cruise somewhere in the Caribbean. Whoops,
good thing we took.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
You know, we we each coordinated schedules. That's what I
like about this.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, we did, so we came back real quick to
do this, and then we're gonna go fly out again,
except until Friday. Then we'll come back again and leave again.
So thank you for listening. It's Serial Killers. It's episode
eighty four, and we have some cereal to try. Yeah,
and I again. We'll let you choose whether you'd like
new or oh new right away? New? Okay, this one's
from twenty eighteen, still new because it's only not even
two years later. Yeah, what are you looking at? I
(01:31):
just thought I heard something. Oh your computer dinging? No, okay,
your millennial machine back there making noise.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
So now just computers are called millennial machines. We stop
calling the computers. Only millennials use the computers. You're not
using a computer right now. This is a millennial machine.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yes, you know what, Scott logic. Mine's a gen xbox. Okay, yep,
that's what we call it. All right, So I'm gonna
go down and get the new one, chen xbox. What. So,
we've had a couple of different varieties of this before,
we have not this one. It is strawberry flavored. You
okay with that? Yeah, there's no dried strawberry Jesus so
(02:07):
it's just strawberry flavored. Hopefully it's a naturally flavored cereal.
I love it. I don't really know how to give
you a hint of what it's going to be, so
just gonna take it out. Look at that Life strawberry
strawberry Life multi grain cereal. Look at the mascots. Could
you guess strawberries? Yes, I'm glad greg T is not
around because you know he would have something to say
about that.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Well. I mean, he also hates a rating scale, he
hates the podcasting, but I loved having him on.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I didn't rain or shine. Life is full of beautiful moments. Aw,
there's calcium in here. It's a good source of calcium
cool so you can eat it without milk and still
your bones can be strong or so they say. Yeah,
it was nice and easy to open that flot. What
do you keep looking around? What are you looking at?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I had a cup of span is just like I
had a cup of coffee before.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So now I'm like, you're like a goldfish. You have
no idea what's going on?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Hey, welcome to Cereal Killers.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
This is episode eighty four. I just ripped the bag open.
You know I should have saved wheedies for this episode
because Mary Lourettin won the gold medal for gymnastics in
nineteen eighty four, and that would have been perfect. What cool, Scott,
who's Mary lou Wretton? We did wheaties? I don't remember?
Is that the breakfast of champions? These are your children?
(03:19):
That's right? Remember your children? And why are you so
like stupid and Millennia?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Like? Are we just going to do a full episode
mocking each other one day? No?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Because it's it's cute like for a minute and then
it's annoying. Wow that aim though. Are you sure you
weren't trying to be a professional NBA player? Yes? All right,
you get two percent. I get one percent? Sorry, all right,
here we go, ready, one, two, three? I like it?
You barely have in your mouth? I like it?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Right?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I do?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I give this four bolls. It's sweet.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Here's what I'm getting, got some good taste to it.
I'm getting life cereal with a bit of old school
Nesti quick strawberry powder in the can. Remember that, no,
did not have can powdered can milk. Wait a minute,
the little Nestli rabbit. What the hell was that? I
had some chunk stuck in my throat the Nestli rabbit. Yeah,
(04:13):
the powdered the powder for the powder, the powder. Okay,
so you've seen the chocolate milk powder right in the canister. Yes, well,
they used to have strawberry. I think they still do.
But when I was a kid, it was in a
little rectangle metal thing and you had to use like
a quarter to open the top. It was a little
metal circle on top, and you'd go click and you
would open it and then kind of pound it back down.
(04:34):
Powder would go everywhere when you closed it. Yeah, it's
not the best design. No, well that's why they changed it.
Now it's just a plastic container. Yeah, good good. I
like it. Four bowls. I would eat this like actually,
like regularly. You know, it's funny a lot of times
you say five balls everything. I'll eat this so delicious.
And you never touch any of that cereal back there
except the Eggo. That's it. You know, Eggo is my favorite.
(04:55):
I understand that. But I think that you really don't
like cereal. Okay, I think you do this podcast. You
do not like cereal. You just give it these you know,
bogus ratings. You never eat it. Uh huh are you
still talking? What's your typical Saturday morning breakfast?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Well, as I said in the last episode, I have
a box of rice Krispy Streets, I have a box
of Ryan's World, and I have a box of Eggo.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Well, you've had them for a long time, So what's
your typical breakfast? You should have finished those already. Well,
I go. I know you don't buy cereal because I
buy it for it.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Well, it depends on if I'm home on a weekend.
Sometimes I go home to my parents for the weekend,
which then I'll have their cereal.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
But you do eat cereal? Yes, okay, I gleek, I
gleaked on the microphone. You're so weird.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Why I like that you decided to go like all
investigators Scott on us, Like, where were you on the
morning of Saturday? Uh, the sixth of February?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
What are you eating your cereal?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
You ate cereal? I'm just curious. February six was not
a Saturday by that way, whatever, it was a Thursday. Whatever.
I know these things. Tomato tomato. Nobody says tomato. Yeah,
people in the UK do, right, So there's no reason
to have that saying here because nobody here says tomato.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Well maybe you win like this Settle Malone.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Who's that guy that just walked in? It looks like, no,
it's not post malone. You're spinning life all over the place.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I know. It's like I need like a I mean
a mask called the splash.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Oh oh yeah, you are all right nasty? Did I
rate that? Four balls? Also for me? Four and four?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
How often do you eat cereal on the daily?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Every day of my life? Just about?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, eat, breathe, sleep cereal?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I alwish they made a shirt that said that unless
I go out for breakfast. You know, I'll take Cooper
to the diner from time to time, but I won't
get cereal there. Like that drives me crazy. They have
those little boxes up there, and they charged four dollars
for it. That's ridiculous. I get a whole box for
a quarter.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
You got me two boxes of Vego cereal forty nine cents?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, well yeah, fifty yeah? Okay, are you dying? There's
a chunk of life stuck in the back of my
throat and I can't get it out. That could be misconstrued,
I suppose it could, all right, So would you like
to move on to the classic, because if anything's going
to get stuck in our throat, it's going to be
the classic. Oh boy, you're not going to You're not
going to be happy with this. I kind of wanted
(07:03):
to wait for Danielle for this one because she'd be
hacking up along. No, let me go down to the
cereal sack. It's been around for you know a while. Yeah,
we've had one other variety rotidy from this company. We
had their flakes with strawberries, and if you knew your children,
you could remember right away what it was. Oh boy,
it's five er one, the original fiber one. This is
(07:25):
going to be reminiscent of All Brand, remember that one,
the bird next Cereal? I did? I like All Brand?
I think you did, Danielle, and I gaged you like
with the basic taste. Excuse me, are you a cat?
I don't know what's going on. You're I there's no words.
So here's fiber one Cereal, whole grain original brand Cereal,
sixty five percent daily value of fiber and zero added sugar.
(07:48):
So let's check the ingredients. Whole grain wheat, corn brand,
modified wheat starch, color gower gum cellulose gum, salt, baking soda, sucralose,
which is a sweetener and natural flavor. It's got one
of those new box tops. Yeah, I know, what's what?
All the gum in it? Gowergum, I don't think is good.
You remember back in the eighties, I don't remember the eighties,
but they used to be a Briar's commercial and someone
(08:11):
would be reading the ingredients from some other ice cream brand,
Gower gum. What's that?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
So?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I don't know why there's Gower gum in the cereal,
but I guess we'll find out. You look at me
with this blank stare. I don't know what you're talking about, dude.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Well, because ninety nine percent of the time you just
go off, Okay, look at this two sleeves.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
It's in two separate bags. I like that. It's interesting.
I don't I don't know how you'd be able to
pour it, but you know, anyway, so back in the
eighties when they sold ice cream in the half gallon containers.
You know nowadays it's like a plastic cover and you
take it off or whatever. When I was a kid,
it was just this cube and it was a box
and you just kind of open up the side of
the box and would ooze all over the place when
it melted, and you'd have to kind of latchet closed.
(08:51):
And the big brand was Dolly Madison. I don't know,
I'm sorry, Dolly Madison. Yeah, Dolly Madison ice cream? What
happened to her? Had seal test? They made ice milk?
What happened Dolly Madison? She died years ago? All right,
here we go. That took a turn. Don't you know
who Dolly Madison is? No, she was a president's wife
or something. Look up Dolly Madison. Okay, I think she
(09:13):
was probably President Madison's wife. Hold on, I think she
was a first lady, Dolly. Dolly Madison was not a
first lady. Wasn't there a President Madison?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
But wait she was? Yeah, what's up now?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
So they named an ice cream after a president's wife. Yeah,
that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Now. This stuff looks like, you know, when you go
to the petting zoo. I think I said this about
all brand too. While you go to the petting zoo
and you put the quarter in the little gumball machine
and feed comes out, and that's pretty much what this
looks like. What are you doing on your phone there?
What are you doing on your phone? My phone's in
my pocket.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah, the past like six episodes, you you're the one
who's getting phone calls.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Well, it's because my wife has been like telling me
important things. By the way, I can now reveal that
we are either going to be on or we're on
the Rachel Ray Show. I don't know when this episode
it probably already aired. I don't know, So check your
local listings for the Rachel Ray episode that I'm on. Yeah,
I don't know how you're gonna do it. What are
you doing on your hurry? Because what are you doing?
I'm recording? What do you stop it? What are you doing?
(10:13):
Cut it out? All? Let's try money of recording you
you're ready before it gets soggy? Okay, well, I mean
it's not really gonna change it. Yes, yes, I could
see what you would think. This is not bad love that.
I don't think you love it because you're not gonna
eat it ever again. I'll eat this a gum. Oh yeah, yeah,
like next week, if I want to pretend I'm being healthy,
(10:34):
I'll eat this could really taste that gower gum. Yeah.
I was gonna say that it has a very strong
gower gum taste. Let it be known. Scott's gonna still
be on.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Rachel Ray still haven't been contacted about Survivor yet, Scott.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I'm sorry, but they reached out to me too, So
what's up now? They reached out to you. Yeah, Survivor
wants you to be Honestel, Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I would actually pay money to see you on Survivor.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I would not survive.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Do you know sometimes they do seasons where people are together. Really,
would we make a good on Survivor together?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
No, because we were just fight and fight and fight.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Well no, No, we'd probably start off on two separate teams,
and then if we both made it, we'd have to
like work together.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
This is cereal. It's really hard to swallow. I don't
think so. Toward the end, it tastes like artificial sweetener,
three bowls in a spoon, the sucralose, I think what.
It just tastes like artificial sweetener. Hey, one of your
things back there just made a noise. One of your
millennial devices just dung my laptop two balls for top
dung it dang or dung. You're an idiot? Okay, did
(11:30):
you rate it?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I said, three bulls in his spoon, two bowls. All right, cool?
So should we go international? Should we go to the graveyard?
Should we go bonus? Serial Killers?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Why would you ask me where I want to go
and then you just pick it?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I don't know. So in the last episode I talked
about that old maultomeal commercial with the guy down on
his est. Yeah, so I actually found the commercial. It's
from the early nineties. Oh here give you know. More
people are walking this way, so they're in a better
position to find multimial cereals. They're usually down tires. You
should try it. Multimeal tastes every bit as good as these. See.
(12:11):
Bet you can't tell the difference, and they cost about
a dollar less multi meal. See if you can taste
the difference, you really ought to come down here. So
what he's trying to show you is that multimeal cereals,
at least they used to be on the bottom shelf. Yeah,
so you'd have to go down to the bottom shelf
to grab the bags. Huh. And you know because the
big cereal makers, they pay to have their cereals at
(12:34):
eye level. Yeah, that's how it works in the supermarket
and the budget cereals are usually down the end or
you know, on bottom or whatever. So anyway, multimeal. This
cereal came out in nineteen eighty nine, the one that
we're about to try as the bonus box. You ready, Yeah,
you're gonna be happy, okay, because it's not in a bag.
Oh you ready?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Is it in a cube that we have to cut
open and then hope it seals back together?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
No, it's in a box. Twoty Fruity's what's the matter.
It's just a box that's so small. Yeah, well I
got it for a dollar. It's a dollar store.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I love that they have the guarantee try me or
it's free. Yes, we had a problem with that once.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Remember which one? I don't remember which one it was?
Which one I don't remember? Oh my god, why are
you burping into mind? I'm sorry. The bird nest just
came up.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
The bird nest. This isn't even bird nest. If fiber
one was not bird nesty people.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Oh my god, it is. You can I can build
you know what. I'm going to build a nest out
of it and put in my backyard, and I guarantee
you birds come to it.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Okay, birds will come to anything, and I hope they
poop on your head.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Oh my god, I can only imagine that walking outside
with as fiber one. These smell wonderful. These smell just
like fruit loops. Can I smell? Yeah? Oh yeah, just
like fruit loops? Very so, did they make kool Aid cereal? Okay?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Did they ever make kool Aid cereal?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Oh? But they should? Right? Yeah? I feel like this
is the podcast of dreams and imagination. You know, Well,
whatever happen coming up with big brand ideas, whatever happened
with the petition to get Cinnabon Cereal back, I think
it stopped at one hundred. Well, like Cinnabon actually liked it, Yeah,
they were into it, but Kellogg's was not having it.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Well, maybe Cinnabon liked it to just like give you
that insider tip like we're working on it.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
No, I don't think so, because that was Cinnabon. Cinnabon
in my alternate universe, it exists again. They just they
licensed their name out to a cereal company. They really
don't have anything to do with it. Well, all right,
here we go. Two D Fruity is the knockoff fruit
loops from Malta Meal.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
We should stop calling it knockoff, because I don't think
it's a knockoff.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Okay, the alternate imitation. It's the alternate fruit loops. And
it tastes just like fruit loop identical. Yep, maybe a
little sweeter. It's wonderful balls.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yep, wait, what that's it. I'm giving this five balls
because I like fruit loops, so this is like the
same thing. Haven't had fruit loops in a while too.
Their fruity Dino Bytes were also wonderful. They were right
up there just as good as fruity Palal. When I
say one thing about that, I actually preferred the fruity
Dino bytes too.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Gandhi said the same thing.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
They're sweeter, and I'm not a big pebbles fan. I
find the shape. I don't like that they dissipate in
the milk. It annoys me, but I gotta say dry
the Dino bites did it.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
The thing with that is Multimeal is made by Post,
so fruity Pebbles and fruity Dino Bites pretty much are
exactly the same this. However, foot loops are made by Kellogg's,
so these are wonderful. I like them. Yep, five bulls.
All right, four balls from me, great job, tooty fruity,
very good. So this has been a very successful episode
number eighty four tuty from the Facts of Life. Yes,
I got it right, and that's how it's spelled too.
(15:27):
Look at that. Huh the Facts of Life? I insert
theme song here.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Well how did it good?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
You take the bad? You take them both? In there
you have the Facts of Life? Is that? The Facts
of Life?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Is that the one where they were like girl scouts.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
They weren't girl scouts. They were at a prep school
in Peak Skill in New York, and Missus Garrett was
the den master whatever the hell she want. And one
of the girls was on Survivor Really Oh yeah, Blair,
Wenchell Winchell Wenchell Blair was the character. Yeah. I don't know,
she made it really far in Survivor Really. Yeah. Well,
the first season of the Facts of Life was just
a mishmash, like Molly Ringwald was on it, and there
(16:02):
was a bunch of random people, and they got rid
of them by second season because it was just too
many random characters.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I love going back to first seasons of shows and
you just see the casting changes.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
And George Clooney was on the Facts of Life. You
know that. Yeah, he was the handyman at Edna's Edibles.
I'm guessing it wasn't pot what's Edna's edibles?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Well, why would I know Edna's edibles if I've never
seen Facts of Life?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
You've never seen Facts of Life? No, so how do
you know that who Tuty is?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Because Facts of Life is a pop culture show. And
like I said, that girl was on Survivor. I'll give
you ten dollars if you can name another character other
than Tudy or Blair.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Oh damn, I was gonna say Blair one of the
girls I went to the school. Come on, Edna. No,
that was Missus Garrett.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, Missus Garrett. No, Kyle, there's Natalie Selene, Joe, Joe.

kind of like the coronavirus, just spread the podcast all around.
So you're gonna take that line out. No, I'm not.
I'm not taken it out at all. It's not happening
in Japan. It's in China well, and it might be
completely eradicated by the time this errors, or a lot
more people might have died. Hey, I don't know which
is why you're going to take it out. No, I'm
sure not. Thanks for listening. We got to go have
