Speaker 1: Well is this Andy? Oh, hi Scott, Hi Andy.
Speaker 2: It feels so like interestingly we are talking to you
Speaker 2: over a landline.
Speaker 1: It's very strange. Well, I mean we've never done this before.
Speaker 1: We're on the phone now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this seems very eighties, nineties, early two thousands.
Speaker 1: Well, it's because you can't be here, you know. Before
Speaker 1: we get into all that, let's play this.
Speaker 2: The only cereal with.
Speaker 1: These guys hate when you hand jam. All right, that's
Speaker 1: enough of that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's blessed really loud over the phone.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm so sorry. How's your how's your ear drum?
Speaker 2: You know it's broken, but I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Well, guess what this is Serial Killers? And we kind
Speaker 1: of like we're rigging it together so we can have
Speaker 1: an episode. It's at episode ninety eight, and it's Monday.
Speaker 1: Nice and Andrew is Andrew's hold up at his parents
Speaker 1: house for the last three weeks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I need to get hold on. Do we have
Speaker 2: plastic cups?
Speaker 1: When you're not ready?
Speaker 2: What else is new down stairs? Okay, I need to
Speaker 2: get solo cups. I have this cereal. I just told
Speaker 2: the solo cups.
Speaker 1: Do you have spoons?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Where?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: Is that Luna? Hi, Luna.
Speaker 2: Luna's not here, she's some boys. I don't know where
Speaker 2: she might be up for a walk.
Speaker 1: Oh do you have milk at the house. I hope
Speaker 1: it's regular milk. Is it regular milk? Is it cow milk?
Speaker 2: Yes? It is cow milk, you idiot? Okay, wait, okay,
Speaker 2: hold on.
Speaker 1: That's weird. Even your your landline is a little staticky.
Speaker 1: You got to put up the antenna.
Speaker 2: Oh, hold on, okay, I got my three solo cups. No,
Speaker 2: I'm running upstairs. Oh great, my mom is vacuuing. This
Speaker 2: is great.
Speaker 1: This one's gonna be a fantastic episode. See me over
Speaker 1: the phone. Let me talk over the vacuum here, just
Speaker 1: so you know.
Speaker 2: They can hear the vacuum on it. It's okay, I
Speaker 2: mean the vacuum can be heard every Okay, it's fine. No, No,
Speaker 2: we'll make this work.
Speaker 1: Don't you have like a little bunker that you can
Speaker 1: go hide in a bunker? No, your little boy room
Speaker 1: with the you know, the race car bed. Can you
Speaker 1: go there?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I have my race car bed upstairs.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right. So what I did was a couple
Speaker 1: of days ago I overnighted Andrew some little little baggies
Speaker 1: of cereal. And I guess if you got that from
Speaker 1: anybody else, you would not even open the box because
Speaker 1: it's really weird. But I said, Andrew, three little ziploc
Speaker 1: baggies of cereal. He does not know what they are.
Speaker 1: I mean he could see them, but he doesn't know
Speaker 1: what cereals they are. Correct.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they're all checks mix and you're just
Speaker 2: blying to me and I'm gonna pour milk on them
Speaker 2: and they're not good.
Speaker 1: No, they're not checks mixed. I didn't try any of them.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, we can just get started. I
Speaker 1: suppose how you've been over there? Everything good? I miss you.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen you in a long time.
Speaker 2: I missed you too, Scott. Everything is well here. I
Speaker 2: can't complaint.
Speaker 1: Okay, good, Well, you should come into the studio so
Speaker 1: we can do an episode ninety nine.
Speaker 2: So you want me to drive into New York City
Speaker 2: during a pandemic to do a podcast about cereal. That's
Speaker 2: pretty good. I'm going to pass on that.
Speaker 1: Yes, but haven't you seen all the wonderful reviews that
Speaker 1: we've been getting. People are loving that we're still doing this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's necessary and I'm happy that we can do
Speaker 2: it over the phone.
Speaker 1: So that's just the way it's going to be from
Speaker 1: now on.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you need to get with the times
Speaker 2: and get Skype, because then we could just do this
Speaker 2: over Skype.
Speaker 1: Really, I know I have Skype, but how do we
Speaker 1: do that? I don't understand.
Speaker 2: You can just record the call over Skype.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then I can't play sound effects and stuff.
Speaker 2: Well you could just add those in later, like you
Speaker 2: add things in anyway.
Speaker 1: By the way, can I read a review that we
Speaker 1: just got the other day from user name malto Maddie.
Speaker 1: She says, I absolutely love this podcast. I've had to
Speaker 1: reschedule my wedding because of the pandemic, but I've been
Speaker 1: listening while replanning my wedding. It's my little piece of normalcy.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I am a spande. I especially love when
Speaker 1: Danielle is on. I'm waiting for an opening song including
Speaker 1: her ps multimeal rules. There you go, name brand rules.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: So you know what, We're gonna have to get Danielle
Speaker 1: on for the hundred episode because that is coming up
Speaker 1: one week from today.
Speaker 2: Can you three way call people on this?
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I mean, you know. Since I'm
Speaker 1: so old, I am used to using landlines, but it's
Speaker 1: very technical here. I have no idea. I'll have to
Speaker 1: get an engineer to help me out. We probably can.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get rolling. Who's no, No, Jeff hasn't
Speaker 1: been here. He got quarantined. He's been gone for two weeks.
Speaker 1: I think he's coming back. We'll see. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get to some cereal. So you have your little bagg's
Speaker 1: in front of you. Yeah, would you like to start
Speaker 1: with new or classic? First? New? You want to go
Speaker 1: with new? Okay, So take out the bag. Take out
Speaker 1: the bag that looks like squares, yeah, okay, and they're
Speaker 1: two different colored.
Speaker 2: Squares, gold and non gold.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yes, that is a brand new cereal from Cascadian
Speaker 1: Farm Funs.
Speaker 2: You say, okay, hold on.
Speaker 1: No Cascadian form. They only have one of them. Oh
Speaker 1: farm farm singular farms farm.
Speaker 2: Wow, you even included too much, just like you do
Speaker 2: in the studio.
Speaker 1: Of course, have you tried it yet? And now you're
Speaker 1: not lying right, you haven't gone in there.
Speaker 2: No, I haven't. Everything has saved sealed.
Speaker 1: All right. So this is new from Cascadian Farms. It
Speaker 1: is gluten free honey vanilla crunch.
Speaker 2: Oh, I love that. I'm using Kirkland Signature organic two
Speaker 2: percent reduced fat milk.
Speaker 1: Oh, hold on, how to go down to the cereal fridge.
Speaker 1: That's good, we're using almost the same milk. I am
Speaker 1: using one grass fed Maple Hill organic two percent reduced
Speaker 1: fat milk.
Speaker 2: You know this used to be Price Club milk, but
Speaker 2: then they switched over to Kirklind.
Speaker 1: Can we please not get into that again. By the way,
Speaker 1: on the front of my milk container is Daffodil the
Speaker 1: cow from Hidden Camp Farm in Canahanari, New York.
Speaker 2: Okay, mine just says it's pasteurized, so exacting.
Speaker 1: Well. It says milk the way nature intended. From pasture
Speaker 1: raised cows, no corn, no grain, just grass.
Speaker 2: This says it was animal welfare certified, so I guess
Speaker 2: they were nice to the cow mind sets.
Speaker 1: It's better for cows, better for land, better for farmers,
Speaker 1: and better for us.
Speaker 2: Okay, we get it. Your milk is better.
Speaker 1: Let's just see yeah, all right, here we go.
Speaker 2: Okay, hmm, that's actually really good.
Speaker 1: It's like an ice cream cone.
Speaker 2: I'd give it four boom.
Speaker 1: It's sweet at first, but then the sweetness goes away
Speaker 1: as you too.
Speaker 2: I like it. It was just delicious.
Speaker 1: You love to rate really quick. I need to get
Speaker 1: it a second in my mouth.
Speaker 2: I'm a fan.
Speaker 1: It's not really all that sweet, even though on the
Speaker 1: back it say, honey, you're so sweet. I will go
Speaker 1: three bowls in a spoon. It's good, but it's not great.
Speaker 2: What does it mean because it's a good cereal.
Speaker 1: It is a good cereal, but it's not five bowl cereal.
Speaker 2: Well, that's why I gave it four bolts in a spoon.
Speaker 1: So what you been doing over there?
Speaker 2: Literally nothing? It's great. I've been doing tons of puzzles.
Speaker 1: Yeah. We both did the cereal box puzzle.
Speaker 2: No I did. You're still doing yours.
Speaker 1: I am still doing mine so far. I've got I
Speaker 1: have all the corners done, and I have about four
Speaker 1: boxes of the cereal completely. It's very hard. It's a
Speaker 1: very hard puzzle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my mom and I have been doing it. It's
Speaker 2: really great when the two of us work on it
Speaker 2: together because then you have someone who could do the
Speaker 2: edges and it goes way faster.
Speaker 1: Froggy and Lisa got it for us for the holidays,
Speaker 1: and it's funny because puzzles are sold out everywhere. Now
Speaker 1: it's very difficult to get puzzles because everybody is, you know,
Speaker 1: hankering down at home and doing puzzles.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know who says hankering, but yes, that
Speaker 2: is what's happening, hunkering.
Speaker 1: They're hunkering down. You're just as enthusiastic at home as
Speaker 1: you are here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's what the extra rest is doing
Speaker 2: for me.
Speaker 1: All right now, I've just been working every day, so
Speaker 1: I'm glad you've been home with your feet up, really
Speaker 1: not doing all that much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I did make the cereal list that
Speaker 2: you haven't posted yet.
Speaker 1: I didn't know why I was supposed to post that.
Speaker 2: Yes, you're the one who talks about it all the time.
Speaker 2: You can post it.
Speaker 1: I don't know how where do I post it? What
Speaker 1: do I do? Is there a link? I don't understand?
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, all right, we'll discuss this afterwards.
Speaker 1: But you also never changed that red color like I asked.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, well happened today for you? Champ?
Speaker 1: Remember that? Because the red is just like boof as
Speaker 1: soon as you open it, and it makes your eyes
Speaker 1: like go nuts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well yours. I don't know probably some of whose
Speaker 2: colorblind red. It doesn't happen that way already.
Speaker 1: So let's go to the classic cereal. This cereal first
Speaker 1: came out in two thousand and eight. It is a
Speaker 1: Nature's Path variety.
Speaker 2: Can I just guess which one it is?
Speaker 1: You never will? But okay, oh wait, you mean you
Speaker 1: made off the baggies that I gave you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so is it the one with that looks like
Speaker 2: trail mix.
Speaker 1: Yes, it looks like animal feed.
Speaker 2: Yeah it has it's like it has flakes and.
Speaker 1: Then that long thing and the other thing. Yes, So
Speaker 1: that is an optimum power blueberry cinnamon flax cereal from
Speaker 1: Nature's Path.
Speaker 2: I don't think I got a blueberry. Oh there's a blueberry.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna just take it out with my hand now.
Speaker 1: With improved blueberry taste.
Speaker 2: That's weird that you have to improve a blueberry taste.
Speaker 1: I don't know that plant powered protein, carbohydrates and fiber
Speaker 1: with real wild blueberries.
Speaker 2: H all right, well that sounds great.
Speaker 1: Oh there's kamut in here. It's the thing that looks
Speaker 1: like a puffed kind of barley looking puffed rice thing.
Speaker 1: See that, you see that piece.
Speaker 2: The one that looks like a honey smack, sure.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's that one. Now. I did the Scotti shake
Speaker 1: before I sent it to you, so you should have
Speaker 1: gotten everything that's in the box.
Speaker 2: I got one blueberry. You send me a whole bag,
Speaker 2: and I have one blueberry.
Speaker 1: You know what. To be honest with you, I didn't
Speaker 1: know there were any blueberries in this when I scent it,
Speaker 1: So that's my bad.
Speaker 2: They kind of look like rabbit poop.
Speaker 1: Those are you ready to eat? Those sticks look like
Speaker 1: those little sesame things that come in that mix. Wait,
Speaker 1: don't eat it yet.
Speaker 2: It smells.
Speaker 1: I don't like doing this over the phone.
Speaker 2: Well, you're the one who insisted.
Speaker 1: But how else do you do it? You're not here Skype.
Speaker 1: I don't understand how that would work.
Speaker 2: You can just press screen record and it captures the audio.
Speaker 2: You would just plug in a USB mic.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to do any of that.
Speaker 2: You don't know how to plug in a USB MIC
Speaker 2: into what? Into your computer? You edio.
Speaker 1: I don't have a computer here. I use a microphone
Speaker 1: and a thing.
Speaker 2: No, you would do it at your house.
Speaker 1: I'm so confused.
Speaker 2: I'm so happy we're discussing this over the phone on
Speaker 2: a podcast. It's great.
Speaker 1: If I do it at my house, I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: my kids, my wife and my dog, and everybody's gonna
Speaker 1: drive me crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that'll be even better.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, let's try this stuff. I got so
Speaker 1: many blueberries.
Speaker 2: I have one my milk.
Speaker 1: My milk is blue. That's how many I have.
Speaker 2: All Right, here we go one two days.
Speaker 1: I thought maybe I like it, but then I don't,
Speaker 1: and then I do again, and then I don't again.
Speaker 2: It's interesting. I don't think it's for me.
Speaker 1: The blueberries are just full of air and they're just
Speaker 1: there's nothing in the blueberry at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you're just left with like flax seeds.
Speaker 1: It's not like the which is the flax?
Speaker 2: Does that thing blake?
Speaker 1: I think that's in the flakes. They're flax flakes.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm going to give it two balls in a spoon.
Speaker 1: I'm going to give it two bowls. I don't really
Speaker 1: like it. I do like the blueberries. I'm a fan
Speaker 1: of cereal fruit, and I do like the blueberries.
Speaker 2: I think I like the flakes.
Speaker 1: I don't really taste cinnamon. I don't know where that is.
Speaker 2: What there's cinnamon in it?
Speaker 1: What is called it's called Optimum Power Blueberry cinnamon flax.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no cinnamon in this at all.
Speaker 1: There's cinnamon blueberry. There's pictures of cinnamon sticks all over
Speaker 1: the box and it says sprinkles of cinnamon. I don't
Speaker 1: see it.
Speaker 2: Not great.
Speaker 1: Oh ah, I just knocked over my milk.
Speaker 2: Sorry, Now your studio is going to smell like throw up.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's the last thing that you need.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm giving you a warning. I'm going to
Speaker 1: play something out over the phone, so please take it
Speaker 1: away from your ear.
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you for the warning.
Speaker 1: Welcome serial Killers b the Oh wait a second, Actually, yes,
Speaker 1: it's a bonus box. But it's also this Cereal Killers
Speaker 1: in turn National.
Speaker 2: So weird to hear the jingles over the phone.
Speaker 1: So we've been getting boxes of stuff even though you're
Speaker 1: not here. People are still sending us things, and they
Speaker 1: are arriving while it takes a long time to get
Speaker 1: to us because there's nobody in the mailroom and I
Speaker 1: have to go rifling through boxes upstairs. I did get
Speaker 1: this box from Aphrodite. Is it aphrodite or it's aphrodite? Right,
Speaker 1: you don't say aphrodite. It's aphrodite.
Speaker 2: What are you talking about.
Speaker 1: This person's name is A P h R O d
Speaker 1: I t E. That's aphrodite, right, yeah, all right, so
Speaker 1: she's from Long Island, from my hood. What's up, aphrodite?
Speaker 1: Thank you very much? And she said us a box
Speaker 1: of cereal from Dubai. Oh so there's some letters on
Speaker 1: here that I can't read, but it is a NESTLEI
Speaker 1: cereal and she found it in a little convenience store
Speaker 1: in Dubai. It's made by Nestley and it's just called Fitness,
Speaker 1: and it's the third and final bag that you have there.
Speaker 1: It's just called fitness, just fitness, fitness, and there's someone
Speaker 1: like holding their hands up in the air. I guess
Speaker 1: they're very fit. Fitness. Nutritious start is what it says
Speaker 1: on the front. Original flavor with B vitamins and oats
Speaker 1: and then a bunch of Arabic letters that I cannot read.
Speaker 1: It's high in fibery. I think that means fiber Okay,
Speaker 1: wheat and oats and rice. Nestli Fitness has been designed
Speaker 1: with selected delicious ingredients and whole grain wheat and oats.
Speaker 1: Whole grain cereals contain B vitamins that help release energy
Speaker 1: in your body from food. Choose Nestlei Fitness for a
Speaker 1: nutritious start to your day.
Speaker 2: Why is everything Nestlie overseas?
Speaker 1: Nestli is like King of cereals everywhere but the United States?
Speaker 1: All right, I mean the box is a very flimsy
Speaker 1: Is it a box or is it a bad No,
Speaker 1: it's a boxer.
Speaker 2: Oh, Dubai does boxes.
Speaker 1: That's right. In the UAE, they rock boxes.
Speaker 2: Remember when they decided to crease those world islands and
Speaker 2: then they just left them there? That was cool.
Speaker 1: No, I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2: In Dubai, they started this project in the early to
Speaker 2: late two thousand, uh huh, and they were going to
Speaker 2: recreate the entire world by putting sand in the ocean
Speaker 2: and doing man made islands. But they only did about
Speaker 2: one or two of them. So now it's just these
Speaker 2: giant sand pits sitting in like a fake earth formation.
Speaker 1: Really, isn't it very beautiful there? Though? And like very expensive?
Speaker 2: Yes? Both.
Speaker 1: And according to Aphrodite's note, the United Arab Emirates was
Speaker 1: only founded in nineteen seventy one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a very young country.
Speaker 1: She says. They don't really manufacture their own cereal, it seems,
Speaker 1: but these were purchased in the country in a convenience store.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I don't really love the.
Speaker 1: Way the flakes look.
Speaker 2: But I guess I'll try this one tooth thing.
Speaker 1: Wait, was it ready? Okay, it's corner for you.
Speaker 2: They don't taste like anything like at all.
Speaker 1: It's just like slightly slightly sweetened brand flakes, is what
Speaker 1: it tastes like to me.
Speaker 2: I don't even know if I'm getting any sweetness. It
Speaker 2: just tastes flakes. I'm not a big fan. I'm going
Speaker 2: to give this a bowl in a spoon.
Speaker 1: Really, I give it two bowls in a spoon. Oh
Speaker 1: ingredient list, whole grains, wheat, oat flakes, sugar invert, sugar syrup, barley,
Speaker 1: malt extract, salt, glucose, molasses, antioxidant.
Speaker 2: I just don't like it. I think it's pretty okay, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I know it's not pretty okay to me, I just
Speaker 2: don't like it. But I like aphrodity. That's nice to
Speaker 2: perve to send something.
Speaker 1: She sent to us. Another one too, which is exciting,
Speaker 1: and then we'll get to that in a couple of episodes.
Speaker 1: From now. Oh, you're planning ahead for a complete breakfast.
Speaker 1: Have your cereals with skimmed milk, a glass of water,
Speaker 1: and fresh fruit. That's what they recommend.
Speaker 2: Over the US, which is to eat it with an
Speaker 2: egg and toast and cereal and butter, two different fruits.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and butter. That's interesting that a complete breakfast over
Speaker 1: there in the United Arab Emirates is water.
Speaker 2: Well, water is essential. I tell everybody to drink water.
Speaker 1: I don't drink water.
Speaker 2: I know you don't. You drink iced tea and then
Speaker 2: wonder why you're dehydrated all the time.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense to me. If you take
Speaker 1: a glass of water and you put a tea bag
Speaker 1: in it, that's still water. It's just brown now.
Speaker 2: But tea is a diuretic, which means that you're constantly
Speaker 2: pain which means you're just dehydrating yourself.
Speaker 1: We have this argument all the time. You're supposed to
Speaker 1: pee from water it flushes you.
Speaker 2: Out, yes, but not from iced tea, which is just
Speaker 2: making you lose other things. You're an idiot.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, doctor Pog. I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: So you're so welcome. I'm happy you're taking my advice
Speaker 2: and they're going to start drinking water instead of iced tea.
Speaker 1: But is that it? I mean, I don't know. We're done.
Speaker 2: I guess yeah, I guess so. I mean, unless you
Speaker 2: have me send me any other bonus bags.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't. I'm going to overnight you some more
Speaker 1: stuff though. We'll do one more like this and then
Speaker 1: we'll have to figure something out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like skype.
Speaker 1: That's fine, but zoom I stuf to send you cereal though.
Speaker 2: Yes, you'll send it to me and then we'll just
Speaker 2: do it over skype er zoom, we see each other.
Speaker 1: I don't need it to see you. I meant that'd
Speaker 1: be great.
Speaker 2: Oh fine, you're being rude.
