Speaker 1: Okay, how about this one seal podcast Drew wat.
Speaker 2: SERIALI podcast The Wind.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do. What's up Andrew?
Speaker 2: I mean that's certainly an intro, I'll say that much.
Speaker 1: This is episode one night. This is serial Killers, the
Speaker 1: podcast where we talk about and eat cereal and we
Speaker 1: think inside the box. Welcome to another exciting episode.
Speaker 2: Exciting, is it is?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of the chips thing there, I'm
Speaker 1: very upset that it was just a few weeks ago
Speaker 1: that I missed out on the big dinner with Larry
Speaker 1: Wilcox and Eric Strata.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you are, and I hope that one day
Speaker 2: you can get to have that sit down dinner with them.
Speaker 1: It was in Florida, and it was one of those
Speaker 1: comic con type things. Yeah, and cha saicon no that
Speaker 1: it was all kinds of those crazy things. I'm sure,
Speaker 1: like you know, what's his name, Danny Bonaducci was there
Speaker 1: and all the old seventies and eighties.
Speaker 2: Is Danny Bonaducci up to these days? Outside of cocaine?
Speaker 1: Okay, he was doing radio for a minute. I don't
Speaker 1: know if he still is, but yeah.
Speaker 2: Ooh, it's cocaine. Yeah, it's cocaine. Bad does this have
Speaker 2: to get an explosive now? No, no, no, it's not
Speaker 2: a curse. Yeah, you know, just for the PG audience,
Speaker 2: you know, for the for the kids.
Speaker 1: I think we're fine. Isn't there that cocaine song they
Speaker 1: play on the radio in the classic rock station? Whatever?
Speaker 1: It's fine. Okay, So today is Monday, September twenty seventh,
Speaker 1: which means it is just a little bit over one
Speaker 1: month away from what Andrew, you don't know. I what's
Speaker 1: in a little bit over a month from now. I'll
Speaker 1: give you a hint, Colleen, Yeah, it's coming off. Why
Speaker 1: is that your Gucci Holloween might.
Speaker 2: Have that bid it?
Speaker 1: Well, it's the Monster Mash. That's the Monster Mash song.
Speaker 1: That's like the one song that and Thriller is what
Speaker 1: everybody plays on Halloween.
Speaker 2: See added to my holiday album. I'm gonna make a
Speaker 2: party album that has I'm gonna do one for every holiday,
Speaker 2: make a Christmas ballad. I'm gonna do a Halloween song.
Speaker 2: What other ones do people go to parties for. I'll
Speaker 2: do an Irish song. I'll get like in a brogue
Speaker 2: and be liked. D No, No, I love bagpipes so much,
Speaker 2: me too. I seriously, I hear bagpipes and I tear up.
Speaker 2: I know it's really weird, but because I always associate
Speaker 2: bagpipes with either like a police officer or fire fire's
Speaker 2: funeral or a parade or something like that, some patriotic stuff,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I love bagpipes so much. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: bagpipes are a good instrument. I also love banjo's love
Speaker 2: a good banjo song. Violins also make me sad too.
Speaker 1: Didn't come with the frog play the banjo? Wasn't that
Speaker 1: doing doing do Do Do Do?
Speaker 2: Yeah? It doesn't he does something like that.
Speaker 1: Why are there so many songs about rainbows? And what's
Speaker 1: on on the I.
Speaker 2: Guess that my party album. I need to put a
Speaker 2: funeral song. Yeah, maybe that's like a sad one the
Speaker 2: current with the frog song, Well no, no, no, I'm the
Speaker 2: rainbow version where it's like they're dead now, Okay, things
Speaker 2: are okay for you, all right, they're on a different
Speaker 2: side morbid.
Speaker 1: But let's move on. Andrew. The whole reason that I
Speaker 1: part play party album, the whole reason that I played
Speaker 1: Monster Mash Yeah, is because it's the fiftieth anniversary. Andrew
Speaker 1: Wow of the Booberry Monster cereals.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, so.
Speaker 1: For the fiftieth anniversary, Andrew, it's monster mash cereal.
Speaker 2: That's exciting, Yes it is.
Speaker 1: You knew this was coming, Yeah, And what it is, well,
Speaker 1: what I thought it was going to be is I
Speaker 1: thought it was going to be all the monster cereals
Speaker 1: all mixed in together. Yeah, But then when I thought
Speaker 1: about it more and more, that would be really disgusting
Speaker 1: because the monster cereals are Booberry, Count Chocula, Frankenberry Fruit Brute,
Speaker 1: and the lesser known Fruity Yummy Mummy. You know. So
Speaker 1: they're all together in one cereal, but they're not basically
Speaker 1: what this is. It says artificially berry flavored frosted cereal
Speaker 1: with monster marshmallows. The only thing I'm hoping for is
Speaker 1: maybe the marshmallows are different flavors. Maybe there's a chocolate
Speaker 1: marshmallow from Count Chocula thrown in here. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: They all look drunk though on the front of the box, and.
Speaker 2: I can't see them. Oh sorry, move on. Oh see
Speaker 2: they're in a band.
Speaker 1: Look how crazy the Count looks.
Speaker 2: That's so fun, yeah, and Stoned.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's all kinds of fun stuff on the Hey,
Speaker 1: well playing here? Listen now scan to hear the mash
Speaker 1: and go behind the music. Shall we scan it? Andrew?
Speaker 2: I guess you should.
Speaker 1: I'm very curious as to what this is going to
Speaker 1: sound like. And if you look in your stores now,
Speaker 1: they also have Frankenberry, Booberry and Count Chocolate in the
Speaker 1: retro boxes.
Speaker 2: Some of those actually when I was in the store up.
Speaker 1: Before you mash just need your age twenty five plus.
Speaker 1: Let's do that.
Speaker 2: Oh that's sad.
Speaker 1: Listen to the song here we go. It's the Monster
Speaker 1: Mash by the Monsters. Can we play this or we
Speaker 1: allowed to?
Speaker 2: I mean, I think you can play a quick couple
Speaker 2: of seconds.
Speaker 1: Itsh that's the same song. Who's that singing the Count's Mummy? No,
Speaker 1: that's Frankenberry. The voices are all different. I don't that's
Speaker 1: not that's not Frankenberry. Yes, that second voice was was
Speaker 1: the new Frankenberry?
Speaker 2: Huh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'm done with that.
Speaker 2: It will sounded like a mummy.
Speaker 1: No, that was Frankenberry. Huh. The Graveyard smash I Vana
Speaker 1: rock is on the Gravestone and von Moore's song von
Speaker 1: Moore song.
Speaker 2: That's almost like a haunted mansion has those two the
Speaker 2: gravestones outside. Oh, I love it so much.
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's try this stuff. Sure, it's been
Speaker 1: on the shelves for a couple of weeks. Now I
Speaker 1: didn't see. Here's the thing. All the Halloween and Fall
Speaker 1: cereals are in stores. Now this is the only new one.
Speaker 1: So everyone's like, oh, did you see the Reese's bats. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've seen it. We've done it. It's the same as
Speaker 1: Reese's puffs. They have the Pumpkin spice cheerios, the Pumpkin
Speaker 1: spice frosted mini.
Speaker 2: Media like any of those.
Speaker 1: No, this is this is the only actual news Cereal
Speaker 1: that is around for this Halloween season.
Speaker 2: Stupid bag, you better watch out because you're pressing those buttons.
Speaker 1: I am right, sorry, Seacrest, all right.
Speaker 2: I'm sure he'll understand that it was for Cereal podcast.
Speaker 1: So the monster pieces are different colors, but they're all
Speaker 1: berry flavored, and there are different marshmallows. We'll see what
Speaker 1: those tastes like. Gonna use our tuscan two percent milk.
Speaker 1: Picked it up at the Speedway this morning at four am.
Speaker 1: Nice and they only had gallons. Oh, so this will
Speaker 1: surely go to waste. No, I don't think so. We'll
Speaker 1: do a bunch of episodes. Okay, knock them all out.
Speaker 1: Here you go, buddy, it's Monster mashed cereal.
Speaker 2: Thanks.
Speaker 1: Ready, Oh they're all fun sheeps. See. There are pieces
Speaker 1: in there that look like Frankenberry cereal. There are pieces
Speaker 1: in there that look like count chocolate, but apparently it's
Speaker 1: all berry flavored. Let's see. Ready, Well it's like Kicks
Speaker 1: two three.
Speaker 2: I like it a lot.
Speaker 1: It's more or less Frankenberry, that's what this is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's delicious. M m m.
Speaker 1: The marshmallows I believe are true to the cereal that
Speaker 1: they come from. Like the brown one does taste a
Speaker 1: little bit like chocolate.
Speaker 2: I haven't actually poked through the marshmallows.
Speaker 1: That one is definitely a Frankenberry marshmallow. That's a fruit, yummymummy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so the marshmallows are a little bit different. There's definitely
Speaker 1: some chocolate marshmallows in here. Does not change the taste
Speaker 1: of the cereal. No, I'm a big fan of the
Speaker 1: Monster cereals. Probably Frankenberry is my least favorite. And Booberry,
Speaker 1: you know what, screw the berries. I really like how chocolate.
Speaker 1: But I will give this four balls. It's a good cereal.
Speaker 2: I give it five bowls. Wow, I really like it.
Speaker 2: It tastes like berry berry kicks, which again I pretty
Speaker 2: much say that with a lot of berry cereals. But
Speaker 2: I enjoy it a lot.
Speaker 1: Look how excited fruity yummy Mummy is for your five bowls?
Speaker 2: Oh thanks, fruity yummy ummy.
Speaker 1: He can't hold it in all right.
Speaker 2: I like this one a lot.
Speaker 1: It's really really good.
Speaker 2: This one.
Speaker 1: You can take it home if you like.
Speaker 2: I've been going through my granola. I have a lot
Speaker 2: of that I don't want to, you know, have eyes
Speaker 2: too big for my stomach. As they might say, Well.
Speaker 1: We definitely like kicked it off with the sweetest, most
Speaker 1: good cereal first because the other two are going to
Speaker 1: be like.
Speaker 2: Blah, so we probably should have done this one last.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this was the most exciting of all three.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, you're right, start off with a shabang.
Speaker 1: The other two are two additional cereals that I picked
Speaker 1: up while I was in Cape Cod. They are not
Speaker 1: big name brands, but they are brands that you've heard
Speaker 1: of before, and we've done before. Barbara By the way, Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard it on The Big
Speaker 1: Show the other day, but Elvis did the top ten
Speaker 1: cereals that are best for making you poop.
Speaker 2: M hm.
Speaker 1: The number one cereal what Barbara's Puffins was the number
Speaker 1: one cereal to make you poop, which was shocking to
Speaker 1: me because I would figure that poop like a champion
Speaker 1: would probably be number one, But they were number ten.
Speaker 1: Huh and all the fiber one cereals were right in
Speaker 1: the middle. So no, not only does Barbara's cereal taste
Speaker 1: like poop, yeah, but it also makes you poop.
Speaker 2: Well, puffins, We've never had a good puffin.
Speaker 1: I think we had one good puffin, and I believe
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, it's the Cinema. It was the
Speaker 1: Pumpkin Spice one. I think we actually liked the Pumpkin
Speaker 1: spice puffins, I mean other Scott. Maybe you could check
Speaker 1: that out for us.
Speaker 2: I'll just check it now, you could do talking.
Speaker 1: Oh can I also say what came in? I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm all over the place now.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: Our friend Matt from Pebbles Post Pebbles Cereals sent us this.
Speaker 1: These new bars. Look if you're watching on YouTube. These
Speaker 1: new fiftieth Birthday Fruity Pebbles Birthday cake candy bars are out.
Speaker 1: You'll be mad because it's like cake batter and frosting
Speaker 1: flavored chocolate.
Speaker 2: But again, white chocosting is a flavor.
Speaker 1: Well, no it's not. There's so many different frostings.
Speaker 2: But like again, vanilla frosting is a flavor.
Speaker 1: But they just say frosting. It's not vanilla. It's just
Speaker 1: frost eight frosting and birthday cake flavor with fruity pebbles
Speaker 1: pieces inside. And they will be available at Walmart stores
Speaker 1: nationwide in the next couple of weeks. So pick that up.
Speaker 2: Pumpkin Puffins was the only one we relatively like, right,
Speaker 2: and we both gave it two balls and a spoon.
Speaker 2: All right, that's it.
Speaker 1: Let's try this one, Andrew. This is from Mom's Best.
Speaker 1: We are okay with some of mom. Yeah, if I'm
Speaker 1: not mistaken.
Speaker 2: She can be a little sketchy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had never seen this one before. It's blueberry wheatfuls.
Speaker 1: So basically what they are, blueberry frosted mini weeks. I
Speaker 1: think I like these and probably slightly healthier, Yeah slightly,
Speaker 1: it's just because it you know it come it looks
Speaker 1: like it's an earthy box, so it makes you think
Speaker 1: it's healthier.
Speaker 2: Can I show you how they serve me my granola
Speaker 2: that I ordered and Las Vegas for the iHeart Festival. Sure,
Speaker 2: because obviously it's COVID and everything has to be safe.
Speaker 2: When you get room service, everything comes prepackaged yourself. Yeah,
Speaker 2: pretty much. But no, no, no, they didn't build this
Speaker 2: one out. It literally was a styrofoam container that had
Speaker 2: a clump of yogurt and just granola's in a takeout container.
Speaker 1: I had the same kind of thing. I ordered room
Speaker 1: service as well. Did you order the coffee?
Speaker 2: I did, and it came into the caraf and it
Speaker 2: comes full to the brim that when you open the
Speaker 2: cap it spills everywhere what.
Speaker 1: Came in the box. It came in that to go box.
Speaker 1: They don't even put it in the in the anymore.
Speaker 2: Which how was a core unsafe? Is my question? Like,
Speaker 2: I get it. I'm all for testing, I'm all for
Speaker 2: being as safe as possible. I'm fine with like whatever,
Speaker 2: but caraffe in the metal container that you can rewash. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is a disposable box of coffee.
Speaker 1: Which quite frankly They probably have to use a funnel
Speaker 1: that they don't clean very well to get it in, right. Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, No, I'm a fan of getting my giant caraffe
Speaker 2: that I have like two cups in and then the
Speaker 2: rest just sits there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was stupid because they only sell one size.
Speaker 1: It's four cups, and it's a lot more than four.
Speaker 2: Cups more please, Yeah. Well, I also have like a
Speaker 2: cup and a half in the morning, I think, so
Speaker 2: I can never finish them.
Speaker 1: Mom's best real quick smell the ingredients on these whole
Speaker 1: week grain sugar dried blueberries, so there's real blueberries in here,
Speaker 1: Gelatin vegetable juice for color, natural flavor, freshness, preserved with
Speaker 1: vitamin E.
Speaker 2: If it's gelatin, it's probably not vegan.
Speaker 1: See. No, they use hoofs from asparagus, so we're good.
Speaker 2: Hmmm, really good.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing I like about this, the blueberry flavor.
Speaker 1: It's like real blueberry flavor. Actually tastes like blueberries because
Speaker 1: this blueberry is in here.
Speaker 2: I'm a fan the.
Speaker 1: Frosted miniweight blueberry. Some Kelloggs, Eh, probably artificial.
Speaker 2: I give this four bowls.
Speaker 1: I like it me too, However, I feel like more
Speaker 1: than like five or six spoonfuls of it will give me.
Speaker 2: The huzz you know, I had two spoonfuls.
Speaker 1: That happens to me a lot lately, the huzz. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like when I used to drink milkshakes. Yeah, after I
Speaker 1: would get halfway through it, I would take a sip
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, well, I don't know why. I
Speaker 1: just couldn't drink it anymore. Maybe it's too much dairy.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe you should take an everly well test not sponsored.
Speaker 1: I liked this four bowls in a spoon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really good. I would actually buy this.
Speaker 1: Now. My guess is this is not like widely distributed
Speaker 1: because I've never seen it in the New York area.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are some like healthy type stores that
Speaker 1: have it. Yeah, but if you go in the organic
Speaker 1: natural section of like your stopping shops or whatever, you
Speaker 1: might see it.
Speaker 2: It is absolutely this is I'm going to bump it up.
Speaker 1: Actually, sorry, others, Scott, how could you bump it up?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bump it up to four balls in a spoon.
Speaker 2: This is good.
Speaker 1: You just like to copy my rating.
Speaker 2: No, there's gonna be a dark horse in the spoonies
Speaker 2: you'll see.
Speaker 1: Okay, we have to stop putting that together. You know
Speaker 1: already is Oh so we don't have to do anything. No,
Speaker 1: we don't have to read it.
Speaker 2: No, Scott wants to be a guest, so we'll figure
Speaker 2: out how to get him on here.
Speaker 1: I think we should fly him in.
Speaker 2: He's gonna be our Like the Oscars have an accountant
Speaker 2: that stands backstage.
Speaker 1: Like that guy at the back of the ah Heart
Speaker 1: Radio Music Festival it was like, how many tickets are left.
Speaker 2: He's the accountant who pretty much is like who puts
Speaker 2: it in the sealed envelopes that have the best picture ones? Okay,
Speaker 2: so yeah, he's gonna he's gonna make sure well, we're
Speaker 2: gonna obviously have to see what are just a top
Speaker 2: five serials of the year we're rating wise, right, and
Speaker 2: then he's gonna break that down for us, and then
Speaker 2: we can choose from there.
Speaker 1: Can we have like a Listener's Choice Award this year too? Yeah? Absolutely,
Speaker 1: we got to get cracking on that. Believe it or not,
Speaker 1: it's almost the end of the year.
Speaker 2: I know it's crazy. I can't this year one by fast.
Speaker 1: Okay, one more box to make it three because that's
Speaker 1: what we do. It's always a triple cereal here on
Speaker 1: Cereal killers. Yeah, from Cascadian Farm, which is a General
Speaker 1: Mills brand. You know that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 1: I never even knew they had these. I never saw
Speaker 1: these before. Not new, I don't think, because it doesn't
Speaker 1: say new, but frosted flakes with sprouted wheat. Cascadian Farm
Speaker 1: frosted flakes. Okay, always organic, never ordinary.
Speaker 2: All right, let's do it.
Speaker 1: Ban boring, eat vibrantly.
Speaker 2: I mean they're yelling at me, so I guess I
Speaker 2: should be doing those things.
Speaker 1: On the back of dirty strawberry and on the front
Speaker 1: dirty sliced bananas. Look at it. It's dirty.
Speaker 2: I mean I would, but I'm looking at your face.
Speaker 2: Oh god, how oh I see it now.
Speaker 1: It's not why they could have picked a much better
Speaker 1: strawberry while the leaves are brown or you know what.
Speaker 1: That's organic. It always looks like crap. It can't be vibrant.
Speaker 2: Looking organic, yeah, quote unquote.
Speaker 1: Okay, you and there's a look, there's a flake mashed
Speaker 1: in the seal up top.
Speaker 2: Oh I don't like that. Oh that's a lost flake. Yeah, sad.
Speaker 2: I have a feeling these are going to taste into.
Speaker 1: There's the problem though, because of the mashed flake and
Speaker 1: the seal. It's not sealed right there, so a free
Speaker 1: box is on the way. It's possible, but these also
Speaker 1: could be stale, That's what I'm getting at, or not
Speaker 1: quite up to par. No, they don't look frosted, they
Speaker 1: just look flaky.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I'm in I'm excited for this.
Speaker 1: Well because I'm sure there's not nearly as much sugar
Speaker 1: as Kellogg's frosted flakes. And you know, come to think
Speaker 1: of it, General Mills does not make frosted flakes, so
Speaker 1: this is probably the only entry in that category that
Speaker 1: they have.
Speaker 2: There you go full circle.
Speaker 1: There you go, pal, I don't know what that means,
Speaker 1: but there you go.
Speaker 2: What do you mean full I'm saying full circle because
Speaker 2: they don't have it. And then they made these that
Speaker 2: are a Kellogg brand and so it's like, now it's.
Speaker 1: It's not a Kellogg brand, it's an everybody brand. Andrew,
Speaker 1: you know this.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, I didn't study for this test?
Speaker 1: One, two, three. Now, if it were me, I would
Speaker 1: just call the cereal flakes. Yeah, because there's really not
Speaker 1: much frosting to it.
Speaker 2: I feel duped. I feel deceive, I feel hoodwinked.
Speaker 1: I feel bewildered, not very sweet.
Speaker 2: There's nothing in this that's a standout.
Speaker 1: Whole wheat, sprouted, whole wheat, flour, sugar, Oh no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I mean look, it's all right, but it's not frosted flakes.
Speaker 1: Two balls in a spoon. The problem is is when
Speaker 1: you hear frosted flakes. Yeah, yeah, think heavy frosting by itself.
Speaker 2: If it were called a different name, then I would
Speaker 2: have given it a higher rating. But you're trying to
Speaker 2: sell me some frosted flakes, and you're hoodwinking me.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm not standing for it. So two balls in a spoon,
Speaker 2: you have, bastards.
Speaker 1: This is just a touch of sweetness, just a touch.
Speaker 1: So sorry. Yeah, two balls in a spoon. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do two balls in a spoon. It's okay, it's okay. Me.
Speaker 2: I did two balls in a spoon too.
Speaker 1: Oh hi, fine, Then three balls how about that?
Speaker 2: I mean generous.
Speaker 1: Well, now you have me teetering.
Speaker 2: Just go with what your heart says.
Speaker 1: Two balls in a spoon. There you go, two balls
Speaker 1: in a spoon for both of us.
Speaker 2: I didn't think honestly, if it was called flakes, or
Speaker 2: if it was called like flakes, like wheat flakes, then
Speaker 2: I'd be like, oh, okay, I'm not getting my expectations up.
Speaker 2: It almost it's not bad. It's just not frosted flakes.
Speaker 1: If it was called sprouted weak wheat flakes, probably would spoon.
Speaker 1: If it was called sprouted wheat flakes, I would say, oh,
Speaker 1: these are a little bit sweet, and it would.
Speaker 2: Be pretty good, exactly three bowls in a spoon. But
Speaker 2: you know what, they call them frosted flakes. They lied
Speaker 2: to me, and that's why you get a two bowl
Speaker 2: in a spoon.
Speaker 1: Plus no qutes mascot. You suck.
Speaker 2: I don't mind not having a mascot, to be quite
Speaker 2: honest with you.
Speaker 1: All Right, well is that it, Andrew?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, thank you for listening to Serial Killers this week. Yay.
Speaker 1: Next week, Andrew, it will be.
Speaker 2: October, wow and spooky season. Guess what what.
Speaker 1: On the next Serial Killers? I have a surprise for you.
Speaker 2: M h.
Speaker 1: It's something that you haven't said probably in one hundred episodes.
Speaker 2: Sine bon cereal.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening.
Speaker 2: Crunch, I hate you got him
