Speaker 1: All right, we're recording hit it Andy, Hold please, I'll
Speaker 1: put this up. Come on, hold on. We have our
Speaker 1: theme song, the button. Yeah, you don't do it loud enough,
Speaker 1: manpash shelf can let it go, man, go let it go.
Speaker 1: It keeps going, it's gonna trail offended version.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, better way to start a podcast than with a
Speaker 1: forty second in here. Here's the title. Well, good thing.
Speaker 2: You see your own crunchy because.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'll turn it off. That's why we played
Speaker 1: this one. We don't usually use bawls, we use cups,
Speaker 1: but hey, today we're going to use a ball, well
Speaker 1: remotely anyway. Yeah, Welcome to Serial Killers. This is episode
Speaker 1: two ten, and today is Monday, December. What is it
Speaker 1: the twentieth Yeah, yeah, crazy December, and we're a week
Speaker 1: away from the Spoonies, Oh, the biggest award show of
Speaker 1: the year. Would you like to introduce our guest to Andrew. Yes,
Speaker 1: welcome to the show, Ethan, just evil.
Speaker 2: Guys, I have been waiting for this moment for a
Speaker 2: really long time, so I'm super excited that I'm here
Speaker 2: and I'm just ready to you know, crunch with more munch.
Speaker 1: Why don't you tell them what Ethan's all about?
Speaker 2: Andrew.
Speaker 3: Okay, so Ethan not only was on Survivor, but he
Speaker 3: now has created a serial bowl, the crunch bowl.
Speaker 1: I'm very excited. I wish we had one. You know,
Speaker 1: you were supposed to get one from your friend Michelle
Speaker 1: and never did, so we're using paper cups.
Speaker 3: I know it's disappointing, you know, I haven't been able
Speaker 3: to see Michelle, so I couldn't get the bowl.
Speaker 1: So we will have to live vicariously through zoom. Yes,
Speaker 1: all right, absolutely, well, this is Serial Killers. It's the
Speaker 1: podcast we talk about cereal, and we eat it and
Speaker 1: we rate it and we let you know whether you
Speaker 1: should buy it or not, and we think inside the
Speaker 1: box Ethan inside.
Speaker 2: Yes, do you think I love the inside box tapes?
Speaker 1: He loves it. You like that phrase?
Speaker 2: I do like inside the box when referring to a
Speaker 2: cereal freaks like ourselves.
Speaker 1: Of course, of course, so you are where are you
Speaker 1: in New Hampshire.
Speaker 2: I'm calling in from the middle of the woods, New
Speaker 2: hamps As you can see, we have a lovely little
Speaker 2: bit of snow on the outside. Temperatures are dropping, which
Speaker 2: just you know, makes it all nice. I have a
Speaker 2: little fire going right here. So it's the perfect breakfast
Speaker 2: opportunity to you guys.
Speaker 1: So I did. I did FedEx to you a bunch
Speaker 1: of creepy ziploc bags with some random no name cereal
Speaker 1: in it.
Speaker 2: I'm a lot of things from crazy fans before, but
Speaker 2: this is definitely the strangest.
Speaker 1: I mean, Andrew may or may not have dipped body
Speaker 1: parts in them. I don't know, no. All right, So anyway,
Speaker 1: let's go with the news. Because usually what we do
Speaker 1: is we'll do two like classic we call them cereals,
Speaker 1: and one brand new one. So we'll start with the
Speaker 1: brand new one. The brand new one will be the
Speaker 1: brown one that you have there, Ethan, all.
Speaker 2: Right, would you like me to display it to everyone watching?
Speaker 1: Yeah, show a bag and I would. I would ask
Speaker 1: you to guess, but you'll have no idea what this
Speaker 1: is because I have no idea what this is. I
Speaker 1: found it in Target, and I figured since you're kind
Speaker 1: of like on the farm, I found this box that
Speaker 1: looks like farm something or other. It's called seven Sundays.
Speaker 1: That's the brand. I've never heard of it before. Real cinnamon.
Speaker 1: Even though it looks like it's chocolate, it's cinnamon. It's
Speaker 1: grain free.
Speaker 2: I get the cinnamon smell when you first open that bag.
Speaker 2: It's just it's pungent, you know, it's nice.
Speaker 1: It makes me nervous because it's usually grain free. Green
Speaker 1: free is usually Keto or no grain free is yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, because that's what it doesn't say Keto
Speaker 1: because we have not had good luck with Keto cereals.
Speaker 2: It just says there's a lot of those out there,
Speaker 2: like three wishes going on. You know, that's one of those.
Speaker 1: Three wishes with three wishes. It was pretty decent. If
Speaker 1: you watch our episode from last Friday, we had some
Speaker 1: trouble with Wonderwork Cereal.
Speaker 2: Okay, so got it?
Speaker 1: Anyway? Are you so? Are you a Keto cereal fan?
Speaker 2: I have eaten Keto cereal if it would not be
Speaker 2: my first choice. However, I see the value of a
Speaker 2: Keto cereal in the cereal universe if you put it
Speaker 2: that way.
Speaker 1: Gotcha? Gotcha? Do you have a favorite cereal?
Speaker 2: I'm old school? Can you believe it? I'm an old
Speaker 2: school guy and I'm a simple guy when it comes
Speaker 2: to cereal. I will try every cereal you put in
Speaker 2: front of me. However, I tend to just gravitate to
Speaker 2: the old school favorites. I like Raisin Brand, if you
Speaker 2: can believe it. I like Honeycomb if you can believe that.
Speaker 2: You know, honey bunches of oats is one of my
Speaker 2: old time favorites. So you know that's where I'm going
Speaker 2: with a cereal thing.
Speaker 1: I also like the fact that you said honeycomb, because
Speaker 1: Andrew would still call it honeycombs because most people do.
Speaker 1: But it's okay, we're cereal kind of sores Andrew anyway,
Speaker 1: So let's let's try this one out. It's it's grain free, vegan,
Speaker 1: no this, no that, no sugar, is no artificial anything.
Speaker 1: So it's going to be disgusting, but let's check it out.
Speaker 1: Maybe it'll be decent. Show us what I'm going to
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 2: I'm going to pour the cereal in this shallow end
Speaker 2: of the crunch bowl, right. I load the shallow end
Speaker 2: like that, and then I'll just put a little bit
Speaker 2: in the deep end. And so now I can just
Speaker 2: let this sit here forever. I can pourm my milk
Speaker 2: right here. I pour my milk into the deep end, right,
Speaker 2: So this is the value of the crunch bowl. And
Speaker 2: here you go. Now I can just let us sit
Speaker 2: there forever and it will not get sad. When I
Speaker 2: want a little crunch, I just tap it right over
Speaker 2: the edge and here you go.
Speaker 1: Genius. I find that very interesting.
Speaker 2: I love that it's like got an ergonomic handgrip right here.
Speaker 2: You know, it's break proof, microwave safe, dishwashers safe. You know.
Speaker 2: There we go.
Speaker 1: Are you using a ladle? What are you eating with?
Speaker 2: This is the strewon. I haven't heard about this strew
Speaker 2: I have not the innovation in cereal eating utensils. You
Speaker 2: can see right here it's a spoon, but it's also
Speaker 2: a straw, so you do is It's got a hole
Speaker 2: at the bottom of the of the spoon. The shaft
Speaker 2: is actually a straw. So when you're done with your cereal,
Speaker 2: you don't have to pour it in the you know,
Speaker 2: the milk shoot. You can just stick your spoon right
Speaker 2: into there and just stip it up like this.
Speaker 1: Oh, we have to have one of those. Did you
Speaker 1: make this.
Speaker 2: Strew I invented the strewings to go along with the
Speaker 2: crunch bowl.
Speaker 1: Genius. Here here we thought we were just getting the bowl,
Speaker 1: and now there's a strewn too.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, purchased two bowls, you get as strewn
Speaker 2: for free.
Speaker 1: Everyone Hours Hours is getting soggy, so let's we're going
Speaker 1: to eat Hours here. Let's here we go.
Speaker 2: I'm not, oh, okay.
Speaker 1: That's terrible.
Speaker 2: Not a fan.
Speaker 1: It tastes like a stale, even though it's brand new.
Speaker 2: Exactly tastes like a stale. It's the cinnamon flavor isn't
Speaker 2: as strong as the smell. So when they open that bag,
Speaker 2: I was expecting a really strong, a little spicy cinnamon flavor.
Speaker 2: It's more like chewing on, not great, like an old
Speaker 2: old piece of toast with someone dust with cinnamon.
Speaker 1: I like that. I feel like facts.
Speaker 2: It's got a good crunch value. I give the crunch
Speaker 2: a seven or eight right now. The flavor is below part.
Speaker 1: I think it's a strange crunch. But the ingredients, I
Speaker 1: don't know what cassava. Isn't that a melon or that's
Speaker 1: a casa. It's a cassava.
Speaker 2: Is what they used to eat on Survivor and Survivor
Speaker 2: Amazon staple food.
Speaker 1: Well, the only ingredients in here are cassava, sunflower protein, dates,
Speaker 1: coconut sugar, coconut oil, and cinnamon. That's what's going on.
Speaker 1: In this box, so I.
Speaker 2: Feel good on the inside that I'm doing something healthy. However,
Speaker 2: I probably wouldn't go back to the shelf to get
Speaker 2: this guy.
Speaker 1: No, I sure wouldn't, especially at seven dollars a box.
Speaker 1: So no, thanks seven dollars. I'm not sure if you
Speaker 1: know our rating system or not, but we're rating bowls
Speaker 1: and spoon, so we one to five balls. Yes, spoon
Speaker 1: is a half a ball, so I'm going to give
Speaker 1: this a ball in a spoon because it's kind.
Speaker 2: Of crap, I think, yeah, at the give it a bowl.
Speaker 1: He's a harsher critic than we are, like.
Speaker 2: Savage when it comes to cereal rating.
Speaker 1: I am savage well because cereal cereal should have a
Speaker 1: certain crispy consistency and this just doesn't have an even
Speaker 1: brand new fresh bag. Yeah.
Speaker 2: If this bowl of cereal was on Survivor, I would
Speaker 2: vote this out first.
Speaker 1: Hal great, Oh you know what, Andrew? What we should
Speaker 1: take a quick break? Oh? Hold please, we'll be back
Speaker 1: right after this. And we're back all right. We don't
Speaker 1: know if that worked, and I see Andrew, Andrew will
Speaker 1: like insert a commercial there or something. Sometimes it works,
Speaker 1: sometimes it doesn't because it might come right now while
Speaker 1: we're in the middle of talking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I have to schedule it myself. It's
Speaker 3: a manual thing, and you just I don't. I'm not
Speaker 3: good with like figuring it out in the timeline. It's difficult.
Speaker 1: Don't Before we get to the next cereal, can we
Speaker 1: just real quick bring up the candles. So at serial
Speaker 1: killerspc dot com you can check out our wax cabin
Speaker 1: line of holiday candles. I've got peppermint cocoa crunch, i
Speaker 1: have frosty snowballs. You got another week and a half
Speaker 1: or so to purchase these use code serial Killers at
Speaker 1: checkout for ten percent off. Yay, all right, great, let's
Speaker 1: move on.
Speaker 2: You guys design those those flavors yourself, the sense yourself.
Speaker 1: Yes, we helped. We do not do any of the
Speaker 1: actual candle making. Well, I mean basically, they sent us
Speaker 1: like six different cents and we're like that one. So
Speaker 1: we helped them a little. We were involved. All right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you pick the next one. So grab
Speaker 1: a bag and let's see what you got.
Speaker 2: Right, So, I'm gonna put away my blue crunch bowl
Speaker 2: to replace it with the red crunch. You know, they
Speaker 2: are stackable, just in case you need to put them
Speaker 2: in there. You know they do everything.
Speaker 1: These things are.
Speaker 2: Dishwasherr safe, microwave safe, stackable, beautifully designed. It's a good
Speaker 2: heavy plastic here too. And listen, it's not only good
Speaker 2: for cereal guys.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, spaghetat sauce.
Speaker 2: Hello, spaghetti, meat sauceps dip, salad dressing, crude tae and
Speaker 2: ranch dressing, hot up a pie, ice cream, whatever you want.
Speaker 2: This is the Super Bowl, the Ultimate Bowl. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: put the crunch back in brunch. So this coming to
Speaker 2: a shelf in a kitchen near you.
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, I'm sure you've heard of Maltomeal. Yes, heard
Speaker 1: of what Maltomeal, the brand Maltomeal. The ones that come,
Speaker 1: they're the ones that come in the big bags. So
Speaker 1: basically they're all ripoff cereals of big name brand cereals.
Speaker 1: And believe it or not, we've never done this one before, Andrew.
Speaker 1: We did the one with marshmallows. But this is very
Speaker 1: colossal crunchy. It is the crunch Berrier ripoff from Captain Crunch.
Speaker 2: I love, definitely. I thought it was crunchberries, so I
Speaker 2: did a lot. I lived, I travel a lot, and
Speaker 2: I lived in Zimbabwe for a really long time. In
Speaker 2: that bag right there is kind of how you purchase
Speaker 2: all your cereals in Africa. Once again, loading the shallow end,
Speaker 2: dusting the deep end here. You know, I have a
Speaker 2: feeling I'm gonna like this bowl a little bit better.
Speaker 1: Where can we go get one? If we want one?
Speaker 2: You can go to my crunch bowl dot com. Love it.
Speaker 2: You can pick up your own crunch bowl at my
Speaker 2: crunch bowl dot com.
Speaker 1: And tell me what the purpose of dusting the deep
Speaker 1: end is?
Speaker 2: Well, people think there. This is the bowl that is
Speaker 2: totally open to anyone's preference for cereal eating. So if
Speaker 2: you're the type of person that loves a crunchy cereal,
Speaker 2: you stack the shallow end, you put a little bit
Speaker 2: in the deep end, and then you put your milk
Speaker 2: in there so you can eat this up, and then
Speaker 2: you put that you put it back into the deep end. However,
Speaker 2: you can only put it in the shallow and if
Speaker 2: you want, you can just let the deep end just
Speaker 2: sit as is. You can set this for your kids,
Speaker 2: like early in the morning when they come down for cereal,
Speaker 2: they just pour in the milk and it's good to go.
Speaker 2: So I the type of guy who likes to add
Speaker 2: cereal as I go, versus putting a whole dump load
Speaker 2: in and then letting it get soggy.
Speaker 1: And here's a question that I did not ask, what
Speaker 1: kind of milk do you use?
Speaker 2: So today, when I'm trying cereal for the first time,
Speaker 2: I use whole milk.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2: However, if I'm going to repetitively eat this cereal as
Speaker 2: like a daily routine, I'll probably switch to two percent.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm good with you. I just wanted to
Speaker 1: make sure it came out of a cow, otherwise I
Speaker 1: wouldn't like you. He has a thing he does not like,
Speaker 1: plant milk, like oat milk. People are free to eat
Speaker 1: whatever kind of milk or drink whatever kind of milk
Speaker 1: they want. But when it comes to cereal, oh man,
Speaker 1: I mean it's crunchberry no Exondra buds.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm okay with I would say, if you put
Speaker 4: this side by side with the original old school Captain
Speaker 4: Crunch with the crunch berries, I don't.
Speaker 2: Know if I could tell a difference. Right now, I
Speaker 2: would say Captain Crunch might be a little bit sharper
Speaker 2: on the roof of your mouth.
Speaker 3: Yes, it completely skin the top of your mouth every time.
Speaker 3: It's terrible, great cereal, but terrible with the crunching afterwards.
Speaker 2: Oh are you gonna do the comparison right now? Live?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Andrew's gonna do it.
Speaker 2: Okay, Andrew, here we go, but just you blindfold him,
Speaker 2: you blindfold and no, there's no need.
Speaker 1: You'll see for some context.
Speaker 3: All of these cereals that you see behind us, some
Speaker 3: of these are like three years old.
Speaker 1: No fresh, go ahead, try it, there's nothing fresh about it.
Speaker 1: Let's see how it tastes. Okay, just use the use
Speaker 1: the milk from here because I'm out of milk. Great,
Speaker 1: your watch, that's how we strain. Go ahead, this is
Speaker 1: gonna be so good. I'm so excited for this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: to wait, see see how different it tastes. Ready, here
Speaker 1: we go, one, two, three ms good? Really?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Sorry? Really? This only expired in March of twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: What.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's shocking. Yeah, I gotta tell you. Oh
Speaker 3: it's starting.
Speaker 1: Well, this is actually Crunchberry XL. So it's the big ones.
Speaker 1: It's got the big berry. They don't make this anymore.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's the age of the crunchberry. But you can
Speaker 3: start to taste a little bit like cardboarding. Well, I'm
Speaker 3: giving Baltimeles version four bowls.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm giving it five balls.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get it four balls plus a spoon, half
Speaker 2: a spoon four point five love it.
Speaker 1: Well, technically half a spoon would be a quarter, but
Speaker 1: I'll give it to you since you're a newbie.
Speaker 2: I'm a soccer player. I'm not good at math. It's
Speaker 2: all No, that's the whole point of this thing.
Speaker 3: We do a cereal podcast. You think we're good at math.
Speaker 3: This is true. Here's a question from Michelle being on
Speaker 3: the show a couple of times. She's told us that
Speaker 3: she had like certain cereals that she would crave when
Speaker 3: she was out there. Did you ever have a cereal
Speaker 3: that you were like craving while you were out there.
Speaker 2: I wasn't necessarily craving a cereal much out there, however,
Speaker 2: I was dreaming of a crunch To be honest, I
Speaker 2: know it sounds weird because when you're out there, nothing
Speaker 2: really has a crunch to it. There's nothing cold, there's
Speaker 2: nothing crunchy. Everything is pretty like sloppy soupy warm. You know,
Speaker 2: from fish to coconut to rice. Maybe find a clam
Speaker 2: every now and then. So like I craving like cucumber, right,
Speaker 2: or something cold and crunchy or nice sharp pickle or something,
Speaker 2: but I necessarily wasn't craving the cereal. Why don't you
Speaker 2: had a lot of peanut butter out there? So if
Speaker 2: it was, I'd probably crave a peanut butter flavored cereal
Speaker 2: like Rec's balls.
Speaker 1: Why don'd you grab your little uh strewn there and
Speaker 1: uh and drink the milk from the cap'n Crunch. It
Speaker 1: was delicious.
Speaker 2: Hmmm, that's very sorry. I switched spoons, just like it's
Speaker 2: just like fine wine, you switch your glasses, I switch spoons.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you the crunchberry one is. I really
Speaker 1: love this. The milk is great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the milk is good.
Speaker 1: And I'm usually I'm generally not a massive fan of
Speaker 1: cap'n Crunch because the whole cut your ruth your mouth thing.
Speaker 1: But it's not bad.
Speaker 2: The fruity hint to the milk adds a nice layer
Speaker 2: of complexity in the milk flavor.
Speaker 1: I'm curious to go back and see what I rated
Speaker 1: regular cap'n Crunch crunch berry. I don't think I gave
Speaker 1: it this high because I'm usually not big of a fan.
Speaker 1: I can head to Cereal KILLERSPC dot com. If you
Speaker 1: if you.
Speaker 2: Guys are stranded on a deserted island for thirty nine days,
Speaker 2: what cereal you think you would crave?
Speaker 1: Chocolate Lucky Charms? Yeah, very specific. I think I'm doing crunchberries.
Speaker 1: I really love a good crunchberry. It's like really one
Speaker 1: of my favorites, I have to say, But chances are
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have any milk, so it would just be ripping.
Speaker 1: It'd be ripping your mouth just get hard. No, not great,
Speaker 1: the afterpart not great.
Speaker 3: Or peanut butter crunch Okay, I love peanut butter crunch
Speaker 3: so much that one wrecks your mouth too.
Speaker 1: Less talking, more searching. Sorry.
Speaker 2: So yeah, like cereal with salt water is not the
Speaker 2: best flavoring of the world.
Speaker 1: I can imagine just like that one time when Andrew
Speaker 1: had cereal with water was water or orange juice?
Speaker 3: Okay, so I for contents, I was out of milk
Speaker 3: and it was very early in the morning.
Speaker 1: You have waffles. I did not have waffles, just laying
Speaker 1: in my fridge, so I used water. Using water is
Speaker 1: not like that bad. It's horrendous that bad.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I take I have like half and half for
Speaker 2: my coffee, and if I run out of milk, I'll
Speaker 2: take half and half water. But don't tell anyone. I
Speaker 2: kind of figure that evens it out. It makes it
Speaker 2: like the two said, it.
Speaker 1: Sounds right, but it's just kind of gross. Okay, No,
Speaker 1: it is not. As someone who's used all water survive
Speaker 1: with like nothing, so he could do all that stuff.
Speaker 1: We can go to the store, you guys.
Speaker 2: Thoughts on like these cereal flavored milks that are coming
Speaker 2: out these days.
Speaker 1: We've tried a few of them. I mean they're super
Speaker 1: super sweet, you know. I mean they're they're good, but
Speaker 1: it's just like there's a store near us here called
Speaker 1: stu Lenards, and they put out this crazy sweet milk
Speaker 1: for the holidays, and we just had sugar cookie milk
Speaker 1: or Christmas cookie milk or whatever it is, and it
Speaker 1: tastes like cereal milk. It's delicious, but it's just it's
Speaker 1: not something you can have frequently because it is so
Speaker 1: overly sweet and we'll just give you a headache.
Speaker 2: I'm a pretty good as the Duncan's RECEI have you
Speaker 2: seen the Duncans Duncan donuts coffee? I mean sorry, the
Speaker 2: Dunkin Donuts cereal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's on the way out. Okay, get it?
Speaker 2: Well, Dunkin donut cereal with milk and a little kolua
Speaker 2: in there.
Speaker 1: Well, that's a dessert right there.
Speaker 2: I look at a breakfast camping moment.
Speaker 1: That is genius. Okay, he's got some good ideas. The
Speaker 1: water in the half and good ideas. Have you seen
Speaker 1: this thing? Listen? You had me at the spoon straw?
Speaker 1: I was there, all right, So did you find it?
Speaker 1: What did I give crunchberry cereal?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: You only gave it three bowls in a spoon? See
Speaker 1: what I give this one?
Speaker 2: Four?
Speaker 1: So maybe Maltamele's version is slightly better. I do love Maultomeal.
Speaker 1: A little less cutting, yeah, true, less roof cutting, which
Speaker 1: was nice. All right, Let's move on to the third
Speaker 1: creepy bag there, Ethan. So this is from Target. This
Speaker 1: is Target's organic brand.
Speaker 2: It is going to big box cereal stores these ways. Yes,
Speaker 2: it's good and gas your traditional location to buy cereal.
Speaker 1: But actually, you know what, Target winds up having some
Speaker 1: some hidden gems. Every once in a while I will
Speaker 1: find some there. This is good and gather. That's their brand.
Speaker 1: This is organic. It's honey nut hoops, so it is
Speaker 1: going to be the closest thing we can find too.
Speaker 1: Honey nut cheerios.
Speaker 2: I suppose honey nut cheiros is on my top ten
Speaker 2: list for cereals.
Speaker 1: Okay, what's like your favorite cereal ever?
Speaker 2: It's Raisin brand. I know, you just kind of throw
Speaker 2: a few of my extra raisins.
Speaker 1: Throwing a few extra raisins into.
Speaker 2: My raisin brand. I don't like the frosted, crunchy raisin brand.
Speaker 2: I like old school, regular raisin brand. Yeah.
Speaker 1: See, I've got to have the raisin brand with the
Speaker 1: sugared raisins. So you want all the bad stuff, Yeah,
Speaker 1: here we go, Ladle. I do taste the honey, there's
Speaker 1: no doubt.
Speaker 2: Not as strong as the original.
Speaker 1: No, definitely, not because they're trying to be healthier.
Speaker 2: Oh it's healthy. It's a healthy honey, not cheerio. I'm
Speaker 2: a fan.
Speaker 3: So when did you notice that you were into cereal?
Speaker 3: Because I'm sure Scott has noticed. Ever since he was
Speaker 3: a child, he's he's always loved cereal.
Speaker 1: I've been a cereal head for a long time. Is
Speaker 1: that what they're called? That heads? Absolutely? Okay?
Speaker 2: Sure. Growing up, I was the youngest of three boys,
Speaker 2: and my mom didn't love having sugar seers in the house,
Speaker 2: so like once a month we allowed to go shopping.
Speaker 2: Sorry for so every once in a month we got
Speaker 2: to go shopping. When we went shopping, I just loaded
Speaker 2: up on sugary, fun, exciting cereals. So it was always
Speaker 2: like a reward for me. But then when he got
Speaker 2: to college, things going a little bit wild, and I
Speaker 2: pretty much ate cereal every day, all day, for all
Speaker 2: three meals, and to the point where we had so
Speaker 2: many we saved all the cereal covers and we wallpapered
Speaker 2: the kitchen in the living room and entirely in cereal
Speaker 2: box covers.
Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna have to do with all this,
Speaker 1: because we can't keep this stuff forever. It's all stale
Speaker 1: and slowly I've been flattening the boxes. I'm trying trying
Speaker 1: to figure out what we can do with them, but
Speaker 1: we'll probably cut off the tops.
Speaker 2: Put it on the wall and you can just have
Speaker 2: a nice cereal and you can remove them if you want.
Speaker 2: That's what we did when we found a better looking cover.
Speaker 2: But that's college is where I thought it was the
Speaker 2: crunch Bowl because I went out my soccer team we
Speaker 2: won the championships. Who came back? We're partying hard, and
Speaker 2: I got a bowl of cereal. I went into the
Speaker 2: livingroom to watch Sports Center, and I fall asleep with
Speaker 2: the cereal on my chest, or passed out, however you
Speaker 2: want to call it. I woke up in my cereal soggy,
Speaker 2: and I hate soggy cereal, and I'm like, this is
Speaker 2: the moment I need to think of a bowl that
Speaker 2: keeps your steel crunchy all day long. So that was
Speaker 2: what happenednineteen ninety six. I thought of the crunch Bowl.
Speaker 2: Nothing happened for about twenty five years until I was
Speaker 2: on Survivor. I was on Pitchman with Billy May's and
Speaker 2: Anthony Sullivan. We invented the crunch Bowl with Telebrands. But
Speaker 2: then it kind of fizzled out because Billy Mays ended
Speaker 2: up passing away unfortunately unexpectedly, and he was my Pitchman.
Speaker 2: Then the Bowl of that Shelf, and then because of
Speaker 2: Survivor season forty winners at War a little bit more
Speaker 2: excitement on the internet. I'm like, let's resurrect the crunch
Speaker 2: Bowl everyone. So I partnered with my buddy Ammy at
Speaker 2: Cereal life Instagram at Serial Life, Great Little Cereal Uh
Speaker 2: yeah I love that account. Yeah, he's awesome. And so
Speaker 2: we partnered on the crunch Bowl and we ran a
Speaker 2: successfulst Kickstarter campaign and the bulls will be ready for
Speaker 2: your purchase again on December twentieth when this podcast comes out.
Speaker 1: See, I still need to find someone to partner with.
Speaker 1: From my shopping cart shower cap such a wonderful idea.
Speaker 2: What talk to me? Talk to me.
Speaker 1: Listen. So you go into the supermarket, it's dry, go
Speaker 1: shopping whatnot. You come out and it's pouring rain, Holy hell,
Speaker 1: and a ham basket. All your stuff is going to
Speaker 1: get wet. So at each counter checkout they have a
Speaker 1: little box of these, you know, the cheap shower caps
Speaker 1: you get in the hotel, the clear one, the cheap one,
Speaker 1: of the free ones in the box. So this one
Speaker 1: would be big enough to cover the entire shopping cart.
Speaker 1: And they're like either a free or a dollar no
Speaker 1: matter what. Because they're cheap, you know, the supermarkets will
Speaker 1: buy them. Put it on top of the shopping cart,
Speaker 1: take your bags to your car, and they don't get wet.
Speaker 1: Who wants wear bags, especially here in New York. Now
Speaker 1: you can't have plastic bags any more of their paper
Speaker 1: and they tear when they're wet. Nobody likes that.
Speaker 2: I'm in I love it. Not only that perfect opportunity
Speaker 2: for branding. You know how many brands you want to
Speaker 2: sponsor the shower cap aps.
Speaker 1: But you know what Andrew's like, Nope, Barbara Corkan said
Speaker 1: it was crap. So it's crap.
Speaker 3: So we work on a radio show in New York,
Speaker 3: the main show that we work for, and we've had
Speaker 3: Barbara Corcoran on many times. She's a friend of the
Speaker 3: main radio show we work for. And he pitched this
Speaker 3: on the air, so to a couple million people with
Speaker 3: this level of excitement, and.
Speaker 1: She was like, she laughed, No, she laughed at me. Terrible,
Speaker 1: she says, terrible, because why are you putting more plastic there? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess there's no money to be made
Speaker 1: in it, really, but it's a convenience for people.
Speaker 2: There's a convenience. What do you think she'd think of
Speaker 2: the crunch bowl?
Speaker 1: I think she'd think it was a great idea. Wait
Speaker 1: a minute, screw you, Andrew seriously.
Speaker 2: The cork gring crunch ball. I mean, everyone who buys
Speaker 2: one of her apartments in New York City gets a
Speaker 2: free set of crunch bulls to go in their kitchen cabinet.
Speaker 2: Love the cork crunch bowl.
Speaker 1: You open up the cabin so there's just a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of and streons. Did we rate this? No, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give it three balls, three balls, little more than
Speaker 1: middle of the road. It's all right. Let me see
Speaker 1: now that it's SAGGI. Unfortunately, Ethan's still crunchy.
Speaker 2: Mine's super crunchy. I'm gonna give this three three balls.
Speaker 1: I'm doing three balls in a spoon. I really like it, Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean you'd never buy it again, but you like it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't. We don't even eat cereal. I
Speaker 1: do please. I like granola's. You know this, all right?
Speaker 2: Oh? I love a good granola like God, do you
Speaker 2: know the bare naked granola? Yeah?
Speaker 1: We have a bear naked back here somewhere.
Speaker 2: You know who started baar naked Brendan Sinnott from Survivor. Yeah,
Speaker 2: now you should get him on to talk about the
Speaker 2: granola because he's on Survivan. I know he got love Survivor.
Speaker 2: You love Michelle. I love Michelle. So here we go.
Speaker 2: We can create a little Survivor serial community.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought Jennifer Love Hewitt invented that Cereal Nobody
Speaker 1: remembers the Jennifer Love Hewitt song bare Naked, Yes they
Speaker 1: do naked, Yes, they remember that song. Do you even
Speaker 1: remember Jennifer Love Hewitt? Of course I do. She hugged
