Speaker 2 (00:08):
We have to answer the question, so just go for blood, whatever,
get personal, go nuts. We we genuinely have to answer
the first question that we pick up.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Absolutely we do.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Unless you no first question, you know what it is?

Speaker 2 (00:23):
I think I've I skipped that one of those look
at a stinker. I don't want to say what it
is because someone might be listening.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Here about the one about soup. Yeah, yeah, absolute stinker.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
No, we then just read it out.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Now someone might get hurt. Burn it. It will burn it,
but we don't have to say it because someone might
get hurt.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
I'll ask the question and if nothing comes to mind,
will burn it.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
But we do have to take the first question. It
is the first one I got as well. You you, but.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
You also just left it floating at the top. It's
just such a cowardly play. Okay, ask the stinker? Is
cereal or soup?

Speaker 1 (00:57):
No? Move on? Yeah, I don't like that. It's not.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
I tend to agree that's not. That's a game cereal.
Let me just think about what makes it cereal. It's cold,
it's got milk cold, it's got.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Milk youreaving in the morning. I don't think it has
to be cold. I don't think it has to be cold. Cereal,
that is what's that cold? Because I like, I like,
I often microwave my weak pics. Okay, cereal has a
grain in it. Yeah, you can also put ballei in souper.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Shit guess butcher Okay, hang on, Well there's an answer
to this, Okay. Soup, you don't add any liquid to cereal.
You always add the liquid after. So you get cereal
and you add your milk to it, whereas soup there's.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
No there's no fluid adding.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
But often you can add like a dollop of yogurt
or cream to soup.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Who would put yogurt in in soup? Lots of people?

Speaker 3 (01:45):
If you have like a tye pumpkin. Yeah, yeah, type
pump with yogurt. You just don't donat yogurt.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
I do yogat. I lack toose free yogurt from ya.
Well you donate that soft j Sorry, that's a big
call back. Yeah, well done, very good.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Ya.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
It's like a yeah, it's not an English word. We
wanted an English word. You is an English word. I
would think it's a European word. You is an Astralian brand.
It's a brand. Yeah, it's a proper noun.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
That's probably the issue anyway, good de That is Cereal
a soup. I feel like I mean, I don't. I'm
not deliberately playing Devil's advocate here. You mind to it
on your team. I am trying to get your team.
You can add yogurt soup. Both of them can be warm.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Soup is never sweet. Soup is a savory dish.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Cereal, No, you can have a French onion soup, which
is very sweet traditional soup.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Onion, though it's.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Caramelizes over time and it becomes very sweaty. Tex soup
French onion soup. If you're not how a French onion's
unbelievable soup. Yeah, Souper Boys has vegetables. Cereal would go
for a nuts grain and a fruit. Tomato is a fruit. Tomato,
tomatomatos a fruit.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
And you've undone yourself there. I didn't even know, no, no, no,
but I'm just trying to pump the free.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Also, I think of fruit and yeah it is pumpkin.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah is a fruit. No, it's not, it is. Don't
be don't be a dunky.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
No, I don't want to.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
I don't be a dunk. I don't want to. I
don't want to. I don't want a donkey here. I don't.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
But it is while we're talking about Pumpkin, we just
get Annaly said say Pumpkin into the microphone.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Please, why Pumpkin, Pumpkin? Why that's wrong with Say it again?

Speaker 4 (03:20):
Pumpkin?

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Am I missing? I feel like she emphasizes the king
at the end. She doesn't even know how to do it.
Go again, Pumpkin. I think very ant about the wine.
That's Dumpkin.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
That's what I do with every day. Abe.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
Are you in now.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
That we've got you on the mic here?

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Because I mean woods points for and against cereal being
a soup.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
There's now more for.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
No no, wait wait wait wait wait wait cereal. Okay,
all cereals come in a box.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Agreed. Yeah, it's not gonna do it, but yeah, okay,
no cereal.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
There is a dry element added to a fluid.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
But you just get like a cup of soup. It's
just a powdered thing that you just put in a
cup shit.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
And you add water and that's the soup. That's now
we're going to solve this, I'm not going anywhere until
we solve this. Cereal.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah, I think the argument like I think, like, are
we saying, okay, there's two different ways that you can
differentiate between things, right because right now we're just looking
at like the salient features. But I think that if
we class them through like an exclusionary test, so that
would be for me, the way to delineate.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
So if we said, like we.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Need to go out with a way of like going
all cereals have this, you know, if we can get
that or all soups must have this, So then if
we can do that, then we can safely exclude the
other one.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Okay, do you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Like all fruits have seeds, allah pumpkins of fruit. So so.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
All soups, all soups are cooked all together. The cooking
the process of cooking the soup all ingredients together. So
you cop a soup, the cooking is you add the
boiling water at all cooks together. When you make a
more normal soup like a minestronia or whatever, it's all
cooked together.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Cereal two separate parts. It doesn't.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
But how do you define cook because you know, if
cooking is just mixing and I think mixing is cooking.
Then just putting cereal and milk together, is that the cooking?
That is the preparation technique.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
Do you want to know the definition of soup?

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Please, So soup is a liquid dish, typically savory, and
made by boiling meat, fish, or vegetables, et cetera, in
stock or water.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
So it's the boiling the boiling. Is no boiling involved
in cereal.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
And that could be it. You're not cooking it because
even if I occasionally.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Microwaved my wheat peaks, not boiling it. I'm not boiling it.
You're lightly warming. Is porridge or soup? Then fuck off?

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Porridge is close to getting out of porridges and a cereal,
I'd say it's close to a cereal. I'd tell it's
it's somewhere. It's sitting closer to a cereal then is
its own thing? We're classifying things here, mate, you can't
do that. It's like me saying you know it was
a whale and a dolphin and then going they're the
same thing.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
You can't do that.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
They're always outlines to the rules, soup, vegetables, cereal fruit,
and like I get cereal fruit. Yes, what do you
mean if if there is a fruit with a cereal, sorry,
if if there's anything.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
That tomatoes, fruit, tomatoes, a fruit.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
I get that they are outlines.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
No, no, no, no, tomatoes and vegetable.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
But I think you're closed. Look, we don't know tomatoes,
so we all do. It's like a vegetable fruit a
trivia question on Wednesday Night Trivia. Oh is a tomato
or fruits?

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah? I get it, guys, technically it's a fruit, but
we all know it's a goddamn vegetable.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
When's last time you had a grape or a cherry tomato?
I'm sorry, my friend, you want that when the last
time you had a grape or a cherry tomato?

Speaker 1 (06:57):
I would have had cherry tomato in two thousand and sixty.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Imagine, I mean you biten one of those things and
tell me that that's a vegetable.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
You just can't. You just can't.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
If you close your eyes, you'd think that that was
you'd think that there was an exotic berry from somewhere
in the Pacific.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
I wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Particularly those small, tight grape tomatoes. They're like, honestly, that's it.
That is that grape or tomato. We'll play that on
the show next week, you won't be able to tell
the difference.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
But grape tomato is not a suit. You don't do
a grape tomato soup.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
No, one can't do a cherry tomato soup. You can,
absolutely you do not. I'm sorry, Woods you can now.
I think you were onto something when I reckon its point.
I reckon this boiling thing could be it.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
But the porridge thing cooked us.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
There no fuck porridge. Now I've said that once, I
say it twice years. Porridge is porridge is not Cereal,
all right.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
I know, but you convinced me that it was because
it can't be a soup.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Porridge is not a soup, all right, But porridge could
be a separate and porridge is an outline because actually,
when I go to the supermarket, Cereal.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Porridge is a breakfast. Porridge is a cooked breakfast. Yeah.
It's like saying, okay, yeah, I agree, because when you
go to.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
The superbos porridge and Cereal are both break breakfasts. Yes,
but they're categories of breakfast. Yes, Cereal soup is not
a breakfast. Oh there's another thing. You don't have soup
for breakfast.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
But don't make judgments there you can. You absolutely can
fuck off. And I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Soup for breakfast, but not in like I've had a
meso soup for break not in like a sane in India.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
No, you can blow the meso up your ass because
I just you probably have in India, I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
But the point is people don't blowing. This has got
pretty weak.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Well, people don't have That is a very good qualifier
that I think I've come up with.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
And I think you're just looking for exceptions for different cultures, well,
just just to annoy me. I don't.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
I don't think that anyone is having soup for breakfast,
and I think we just need to I think we
all need to acknowledge that.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Even in Japan. Oh no, I did have you you
do a super.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
We're just talking about a Western cereal and a Western soup.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
I don't think it was defined. I think we're just
looking for world differences. Don't the breakfast, it's the boiling
the boiling. You run up with the boiling water. If
boiling water is you run it with the boiling water.
I'm brilliant. Yeah, I've done it. We have a message
from responsors.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, absolutely, I hope it's not to Uncle Toby's talking
about his borrige.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
Okay, now that we're back, we've done it. Boiling water
soup and cereal. Is cereal a soup? No, because at
no point in the making of cereal do you use
boiling water?

Speaker 1 (09:37):
That is the perfect, well done, that's the perfect answer.
Do you boil yet perfect? You've seen our workings?

Speaker 3 (09:44):
That is actually I mean I know that you Googles. Well,
it's not a serial, so it doesn't matter. We're actually
not qualifying that. I think we've now that. I think
that's better than what Google.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Had to offer. Nothing, well, that needs to be said.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
I feel great about it. Everyone feels great about that.
More qualifications. Poop Pantcy were looking smug earlier. Is that
your it's your question, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (10:05):
No?

Speaker 3 (10:05):
But I was quite interested because you dismissed it quite quickly,
and then one of you flipped and now we got
into a ten minute conversation about cereal.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, we did well.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
Funnily enough, we didn't actually really address cereal at all.
It was largely soup focused for ten minutes. More More,
you know, we didn't go down the cereal path. You
would never know we tried it.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Going with cereal.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
But it's just that soup is quite you know, soup
meets a lot of the cereal qualifications.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
That's the confusing thing.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
If you focus on the cereal, then sure soup is
a cereal, But as soon as you focus on the suit,
cereal is its own thing.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
You would never dip bread in cereal? Yeah you would? Yeah,
I've done that. And also brand is a type of
bread that's in the cereal. No, I get that, but
you do. You don't have a bag it with your
cereal with your cereal? Don't extend. When's the last time
you had a buttered bag it with your cereal? And
when I was.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
Living in France on exchange, they do it every morning,
you dip. Yeah, they read like a chocolate yep, they
know they have like a They often have very sweet
cereals in France and they get a bag it and
they cover it in butter and they deep it in there.
Would you do that with porridge?

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Where do the French sit with porridge?

Speaker 3 (11:14):
I'm not talking about porridge very from the start.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
And I will not be taken back there again. Do
you want to know just one quick fact about porridge?
I would like to finish the podcast. Is it about
Uncle Toby?

Speaker 2 (11:30):
What about you know the ad that's not how you
portridge that it's my favorite ad.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
You know, I don't care.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
I don't care to make it a fucking cereal.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
No, it's got nothing to do fact fact in.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
Informal British in slang uh if if you say that
you're doing porridge means time spent spent in prison doing porridge. Yeah,
I'm sweating out doing porridge.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Nice And you would never confuse that with doing cereal
because they're different things.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Nice another points for us.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
Alrighty, we'll see you on my nay
