Speaker 1: This is Serial Killers episode eighteen.
Speaker 2: I thought we weren't going to be telling people the
Speaker 2: episode numbers anymore. Why that was your idea, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I only said that because I felt like
Speaker 1: if we kept recording them and putting them in the can,
Speaker 1: as we say in the business, and waiting to release them,
Speaker 1: like if there were some like breaking new cereal that
Speaker 1: came out and we had to get it in, we
Speaker 1: would just slip it in as a bonus in the
Speaker 1: middle of the week, which.
Speaker 2: Last week we said was going to be the prize inside.
Speaker 1: Right, So we'll do that. So from time to time,
Speaker 1: I still want to number the episodes just so in
Speaker 1: our head we know how many we've done.
Speaker 2: But I feel like this is a conversation we should
Speaker 2: have had off the mics, and now we're just like maybe, yeah,
Speaker 2: But from.
Speaker 1: Time to time we'll slip in a bonus episode in
Speaker 1: the middle of the week and Wednesday, just like a
Speaker 1: prize in the middle of the box. I'm Andrew and
Speaker 1: I'm Scottie be and thank you so much for listening
Speaker 1: and coming back to Serial Killers. It's the podcast where
Speaker 1: we talk about cereal kind of things. Yeah, and some
Speaker 1: other life stuff, but mostly cereal, and we generally will
Speaker 1: do one classic cereal and one new cereal. So you
Speaker 1: kind of screwed me last episode because you made me
Speaker 1: pull out the honey nut ceios and I was going
Speaker 1: to use that as a classic for this one. So
Speaker 1: I have another classic that I have in my cereal sack.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna grab it out of my sack. Now, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is not the rated R episode, you know, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you a funny story about sack. Okay, when I
Speaker 1: was eighteen years old, I lived in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Speaker 1: I moved there for a year for radio, which didn't
Speaker 1: work out. And the first thing I did is I
Speaker 1: went to a store and I bought a bottle of
Speaker 1: Mellow Yellow because you could get it there, and I
Speaker 1: was so excited. You didn't have it in New York
Speaker 1: at the time. And so the guy rings me up
Speaker 1: and he's like, would you like your pop in a sack?
Speaker 1: And I was like, I'm sorry, what am I getting
Speaker 1: propositions already? I just moved here and I'm only eighteen.
Speaker 1: And then I come to realize that pop means soda
Speaker 1: and sack means bag. So I'm going into my cereal
Speaker 1: sack and that's my bag and outcomes golden grams.
Speaker 2: I am indifferent on golden rails. Eh, they're not my favorite. Really,
Speaker 2: Can I just say one thing, Wait a minute, Cereal
Speaker 2: Adventures are a thing? Oh my god.
Speaker 1: On the back of the box. They're in a car
Speaker 1: and they're going to commit some sort of crime. I
Speaker 1: think it's Chip the Wolf from Cookie Crisp.
Speaker 2: There's there's you can't say him.
Speaker 1: No, that's a that's a different bread. This is General Mills.
Speaker 2: Well whatever the chocolate bird is.
Speaker 1: That's Sonny the Crazy Bird from Cocoa Puffs.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Sonny again, you're saying it like I knew
Speaker 2: it before.
Speaker 1: His name.
Speaker 2: Cool, Sonny the Bird, let's keep going.
Speaker 1: And the tricks Rabbit he doesn't have a name. It's
Speaker 1: just the tricks Rabbit. Chip and Sonny and the tricks Rabbit.
Speaker 1: They're hitting the road for a Saturday fun day.
Speaker 2: They're rabiting a bank.
Speaker 1: Fight it along for the ride. That's what this looks like.
Speaker 1: And look look in the rear view. You could see
Speaker 1: the rabbit there. Who the hell is this guy?
Speaker 2: Can I see?
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, but he's not even in the car.
Speaker 1: There's some kind of a ghost.
Speaker 2: Ooh, this is really teasing the spinoff.
Speaker 1: It could be. This is really exciting. But see, Golden
Speaker 1: doesn't have a character, and I don't believe they ever did.
Speaker 1: If I'm wrong, I apologize. But this is another seventies cereal.
Speaker 1: It's a General Mills deal and it's been consistent over
Speaker 1: the years. It's the same. They haven't changed the recipe.
Speaker 2: I'm indifferent on it. Like I said, it's not my favorite.
Speaker 2: I haven't had it in a while.
Speaker 1: But I have to tell you, you can make stuff
Speaker 1: with Golden Grahams too, and it's funny. A friend of mine,
Speaker 1: buddy mine Lance, he makes what we call crack. It's
Speaker 1: Golden Grams with marshmallow drizzled with chocolate, and then he
Speaker 1: just breaks it up and brings it to parties.
Speaker 2: It could have gotten really gram after you said I
Speaker 2: have a buddy Lance who makes crack. But I'm glad
Speaker 2: you explained past.
Speaker 1: But it's delicious and I eat so much of it.
Speaker 1: But it's not a cookie and it's not a doughnut.
Speaker 1: It's just cereal with marshmallows and chocolate on it. So
Speaker 1: I can have it.
Speaker 2: Tell yourself whatever you need to to make yourself feel.
Speaker 1: Good going to And also I remember as a kid
Speaker 1: in the eighties. I don't know if it was a
Speaker 1: spin off, but Golden Grams, there was a cereal also
Speaker 1: called s'mores. It was the same company, same everything. It
Speaker 1: was Golden Grams and there were chocolate covered marshmallows in
Speaker 1: it and it was more cereal and it was freakin' awesome.
Speaker 2: That sounds delicious.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then there was one called Rocky Road that
Speaker 1: was similar later on. But all right, let's break into
Speaker 1: the Golden Grams. I mean, to me, these are just
Speaker 1: kind of plain, bland cereal.
Speaker 2: But it's not my favorite. You got it.
Speaker 1: You have to be in the mood for Graham, and
Speaker 1: I'm not always in the mood for Graham.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree. I'm excited.
Speaker 1: So you don't think you're gonna like it, but you're excited.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know it's a new day. Can't be
Speaker 2: going into it with a negative attitude.
Speaker 1: This is another one where I like a little bit
Speaker 1: of sogginess and a little bit of crisp together. That's
Speaker 1: what makes me happy with Golden Grams. And I'm probably
Speaker 1: gonna eat the whole cup because that's just what I
Speaker 1: do so ready, one, two, three? This is good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is.
Speaker 1: Better than I remember.
Speaker 2: Oh man, Yeah, that's actually delicious.
Speaker 1: I always felt that if you chew you can taste
Speaker 1: like the tiny little grains. Yeah, it's weird, although actually delicious.
Speaker 1: There's a hint of burnt flavor. Do you taste that
Speaker 1: after It is a little bit of after taste. It's
Speaker 1: almost like a burnt flavor.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Right, the way you're saying it sounds like Burt
Speaker 2: or Burn.
Speaker 1: There's ground up Burt in every box. Your buddy Lance
Speaker 1: makes it. It's crack.
Speaker 2: This is I like it a lot, three bowls in
Speaker 2: a spoon for me, a lot better than I thought.
Speaker 1: And you know, you see the milk is starting to
Speaker 1: turn yellow, but it doesn't. It's good though. Golden Grains
Speaker 1: makes really good cereal milk. I'd like you to try it,
Speaker 1: please before I give it a rating.
Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead, delicious.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you another fun fact.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, you need a jingle for your facts.
Speaker 1: I do. We're gonna get something made up. But I found,
Speaker 1: you know, because I'm a crazy coupon guy too. I
Speaker 1: found a coupon from the mid eighties, was like nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty five or eighty six with no expiration date for
Speaker 1: Golden Grams, and I used it a couple of weeks ago. No,
Speaker 1: you did it, Yeah, I did, and it worked and
Speaker 1: it was crazy and took a picture with the cashier
Speaker 1: and everything because it was not you remember, like maybe
Speaker 1: two months ago, some lady used an old Wess and
Speaker 1: Oil coupon for like ten cents and.
Speaker 2: It was all over the news.
Speaker 1: Yes, and I was angry because I had old coupons too,
Speaker 1: and I was like, why would that be newsworthy? So
Speaker 1: I went and I used it, and I took a
Speaker 1: picture and I tweeted it and nobody cared.
Speaker 2: But now you have a podcast listened to by.
Speaker 1: Yeah hundreds, Yes, but the coupon got doubled, so I
Speaker 1: saved fifty cents.
Speaker 2: So screw you all, not you listeners, and appreciate the man.
Speaker 1: Screw the man. Yeah, yeah, all right, So I'm going
Speaker 1: to give Golden Grams classic Golden Rams three bowls in
Speaker 1: a spoon.
Speaker 2: So same as me.
Speaker 1: Is that what you said? Yes? I thought you said four.
Speaker 2: I love that you listened to me. It's my favorite
Speaker 2: thing about this podcast.
Speaker 1: The three bulls and a spoon from both of us
Speaker 1: on the Golden Grams. All right, so now what the
Speaker 1: hell was that? I think a piece of cereal was
Speaker 1: lodged in my nose. A little bit of Lance's cracked
Speaker 1: getting in your nose, still there from over the weekend?
Speaker 1: All right. So now this next cereal, I don't it's
Speaker 1: new ish, Okay, it's within the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: So I'll we have to figure out, like what constitutes new.
Speaker 1: Is it like within the last five years or I
Speaker 1: mean a classic cereal has had to have been around
Speaker 1: for a number of years, at least ten or twelve years,
Speaker 1: all right, so we'll stay within the last five years.
Speaker 1: We'll call that new. So now, a couple of episodes ago,
Speaker 1: you told me you never try this, but I don't
Speaker 1: believe it because I've seen you eat it. So I'm
Speaker 1: going to refresh your memory by going into the cereal sack.
Speaker 1: Please stand by, all.
Speaker 2: Right, this is the part of the episode where I
Speaker 2: have to pad it. Okay. Uh, here's a motivational message.
Speaker 1: All right, we don't have to hear anything else from you.
Speaker 1: I've got the box. It's from Calloggs, and it's Crave chocolate. Crave.
Speaker 2: I know what you're saying, but I don't think i've
Speaker 2: had it.
Speaker 1: I'm going to promise you this, you're going to love it.
Speaker 2: I'm indifferent about it because I don't like that there's
Speaker 2: like stuff inside of it.
Speaker 1: Remember we talked about the fillows, that new cereal from
Speaker 1: General Mills. Oh yeah, there's lots of stuff inside of it.
Speaker 1: So if you don't like stuff inside of things, you're
Speaker 1: not going to like the next couple of episodes.
Speaker 2: So we're doing multiple episodes like this.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we like stuffed things, so Crave from Kellogg's.
Speaker 1: There's two varieties. This is just chocolate. It's kind of
Speaker 1: like a you know, I don't want to call it vanilla,
Speaker 1: but it's just like a regular outside with chocolate in
Speaker 1: the middle. And then there's a double chocolate. It's chocolate
Speaker 1: cereal with chocolate filling. And you've had them both and
Speaker 1: you love them both. You have amnesia or something? Did
Speaker 1: you get hit in the head?
Speaker 2: I have amnesia. Yes, you're the one who does the
Speaker 2: lances crack.
Speaker 1: All right, So there's really no other cereal it this
Speaker 1: looks like I don't think Oh yes, yes, remember pop
Speaker 1: Tart cereal from way back in like episode.
Speaker 2: Three or four, I was thinking this is probably.
Speaker 1: Made on the same machinery because it is Kelloggs, and
Speaker 1: that is Kelloggs as well. These don't have a butt
Speaker 1: like you said the pop Tart cereal did. But oh here,
Speaker 1: take a sniff. Oh oof, it smells like delicious chocolate.
Speaker 2: I don't know what chocolate ear eating. Oh wait, you
Speaker 2: can't eat chocolate, remember. Oh wait, no, I forgot. You
Speaker 2: can eat chocolate.
Speaker 1: Chocolate, dude, why can I eat chocolate?
Speaker 2: All of this is just sweets.
Speaker 1: I didn't say I don't eat sweat. I said I
Speaker 1: don't eat cookies, cakes and pastries, but I eat ice
Speaker 1: cream cake. That's not really cake.
Speaker 2: The lies, the lies.
Speaker 1: The lies, they're just deception.
Speaker 2: Half truth that you tell yourself.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's pour some milk.
Speaker 2: It's one percent, I got to say with crave, I am.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you when the cereal is best, when
Speaker 1: it's a little bit soggy because the chocolate in the center.
Speaker 1: Year you'll see.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: I think next week I want to try two percent milk.
Speaker 1: I think I want to bump it up.
Speaker 2: Why I don't Can you start bringing me in like
Speaker 2: not bad.
Speaker 1: Milk, like ultra skim but I heard that skim is
Speaker 1: really not that good because there's way more sugar in
Speaker 1: it to make up for the fat that's not there.
Speaker 2: What if we do like a nut milk I'm not
Speaker 2: into nut.
Speaker 1: Well we could have in the last episode, but not here,
Speaker 1: So sorry, I have to tell you first of all,
Speaker 1: there it's not milk. None of that is milk. And
Speaker 1: there's a whole big thing going on with the with
Speaker 1: the FDA and everything, honestly there is right now because
Speaker 1: they don't think that you should be able to call
Speaker 1: milk that aren't milk from a cow milk because it's
Speaker 1: not milk. You can't milk an almond, you can't milk
Speaker 1: a soy, you know, you can't milk an oat.
Speaker 2: The way that I saw them, they made like cashew
Speaker 2: milk and all that day. It's the weirdest process because
Speaker 2: I did not know that's how it was for the
Speaker 2: long timme Like, how the hell do you make like
Speaker 2: a milk like that?
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I'm not going to call that milk, unless,
Speaker 1: of course Silk wants to sponsor us, then we'll use
Speaker 1: your milk.
Speaker 2: In fact for our listeners. Right now, Silk.
Speaker 1: Milk, No, I'm sorry, I don't, couldn't even. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'll I'll tell you to use silk all day if
Speaker 1: you're like almond milk. But I don't like almonds.
Speaker 2: I do like silk with a touch of vanilla. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's good.
Speaker 1: But for the sake of cereal, you just have to
Speaker 1: use straight up pure milk otherwise it changes the taste
Speaker 1: of everything.
Speaker 2: Listen, you're you're talking to a guy who ate cereal
Speaker 2: with water once.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do remember that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, my friends still make fun of me for it.
Speaker 1: Didn't you eat it with orange juice once? Too?
Speaker 2: God?
Speaker 1: No, somebody I know did? The daughter did that one time? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't understand her. All right, So here we go.
Speaker 2: It's crave.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Well now you've wasted two spoons.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, make your fault.
Speaker 1: Then here we go. Pretty good, right, I mean it
Speaker 1: tastes like dessert. There's no doubt with doubts that face.
Speaker 1: It's chocolate. It's not even chocolate e. It's crispy shell outside,
Speaker 1: smooth chocolate inside, filling made with real chocolate.
Speaker 2: No, it's gonna sound weird.
Speaker 1: Tell me what's weird?
Speaker 2: I think I would like this without the chocolate on
Speaker 2: the inside. Really, I like the outside shell. The chocolate
Speaker 2: is a little distracting for me.
Speaker 1: I think it would be bland without the chocolate marshmallows.
Speaker 2: There it is.
Speaker 1: You're right, chocolate marshmallows.
Speaker 2: At that it was a lie. I didn't actually mean that.
Speaker 2: Oh all right, Yeah, I'm not a fan.
Speaker 1: I think you might like the double chocolate one better.
Speaker 2: I don't think I should double down on that.
Speaker 1: Wait, these do kind of have a little butt crack
Speaker 1: on the back. See they have to fill it that way.
Speaker 1: That's probably how they fill the pop tart cereal and
Speaker 1: the chocolate in here. No, what's nasty about it about it?
Speaker 2: When it sits in the milk and then it looks
Speaker 2: like poop? It does? We got another cinnamon life on
Speaker 2: our hands.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like it's a diaper that you can
Speaker 1: kind of see poop through.
Speaker 2: And now I don't want to eat the cereal anymore.
Speaker 2: So two bowls in a spoon for me.
Speaker 1: I think it's delicious. Three bowls in a spoon for me.
Speaker 2: Mmm, maybe four, you're too generous, Okay, Three.
Speaker 1: Bowls in a spoon for me on Kellogg's Crave Chocolate cereal.
Speaker 1: So that was a great episode that was episode eighteen.
Speaker 1: Can you believe it?
Speaker 2: No? I can't, Buddy eight eighteen.
Speaker 1: That's fantastic. What happens when we get to one hundred, Well, if.
Speaker 2: We're not in the hospital for my flood pressure cholesterol problems,
Speaker 2: then I guess we should do a live event.
Speaker 1: Okay, that would be cool. Isn't there a Kellogg store
Speaker 1: in Times Square? Is that's still there?
Speaker 2: What if we got in touch with them and did
Speaker 2: like an event where we had seats wait, watch a
Speaker 2: seat Cereal.
Speaker 1: I can't do that because then we can't say that
Speaker 1: Kellogg Cereal is bad if we don't. There was a
Speaker 1: cereal shop in New Jersey that reached out to us
Speaker 1: and they want us to come visit. Maybe we could
Speaker 1: do something there, because then it's just, you know, it's partial.
Speaker 1: We can say whatever we want about any cereal because
Speaker 1: they don't make it, They just serve it.
Speaker 2: Would anybody actually come to a cereal meet up with
Speaker 2: you and I, Yeah, I thought you was eat cereal.
Speaker 1: I think they would, and talking, I'm pretty sure they would.
Speaker 2: I would be a little odded out just to be
Speaker 2: eating in front of people and being like this is great.
Speaker 1: Okay, what's next? We could give away cereal.
Speaker 2: I would love that. Yeah, okay, so mistakes coming soon, Yes,
Speaker 2: maybe that'll.
