Speaker 1: Hi everybody.
Speaker 2: Hi Scott, Which Scott, that's the that's the question here?
Speaker 2: Back am I backup Scott and my other Scott am
Speaker 2: I Newman's.
Speaker 1: It's other Scott, it's Newman. It's it's the promised bull
Speaker 1: Chat episode that's finally happening.
Speaker 2: Yay, yay. It only took a month to make it happen.
Speaker 2: That's great exactly.
Speaker 1: So Scott's not here, he's enjoying a nice vacation. Primary
Speaker 1: scotts Yeah a host. Yes, Scott Scott someplace, Yes, he's
Speaker 1: someplace right now. So we're finally making this bull chat happen.
Speaker 1: And so Newman is stepping in to play Scott's role.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you for having me, Andrew. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm happy to have you back now.
Speaker 2: Instead of a normal rambling bull chat that goes absolutely nowhere,
Speaker 2: I wrote questions down for you. Can we do that today?
Speaker 1: I love that. I think that'll be fun.
Speaker 2: Have you ever watched Inside the Actors Studio with James
Speaker 2: Lie Yes?
Speaker 1: Absolutely, with the host. I feel like you have like
Speaker 1: the same like beard mustache thing going on.
Speaker 2: Well is because I'm going the Santa Trading next month?
Speaker 2: No way?
Speaker 1: Yeah, shut up.
Speaker 2: I didn't tell you about this. I guess I didn't know.
Speaker 2: When we took my daughter to the mall Santa that
Speaker 2: we see every single year for the last ten years
Speaker 2: in December, he took me aside and said, have you
Speaker 2: ever considered being a professional Santa? And I said no.
Speaker 2: He said, well, I run a Santa agency and why
Speaker 2: don't you take my information and we'll talk in January.
Speaker 2: So I followed up with him and it turns out
Speaker 2: that he has this Santa Talent agency. He has six
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty seven Santas underneath him. What Yeah, and he,
Speaker 2: you know, is like a regular talent agent. He books
Speaker 2: gigs for you, he has the insurance, he does all
Speaker 2: the training and all that. So I talked to him,
Speaker 2: and I'm a little bit on the fence. I don't
Speaker 2: I don't want to be a mall Santa. That doesn't happen.
Speaker 2: I have no interest in that. But the idea of
Speaker 2: possible doing it for charity or hospital or corporate gigs,
Speaker 2: that sounds pretty interesting. The stipulation on his agency is
Speaker 2: you must be natural bearded. That's the wording on there.
Speaker 2: You can't have your glut on beard. No fake sies. Okay,
Speaker 2: So in January I started growing it and it's about
Speaker 2: an inch long. Now I don't know this is something
Speaker 2: I want to continue with.
Speaker 1: Is your face extremely itchy?
Speaker 2: It was very itchy for a very long time. Now
Speaker 2: I'm just looking ragged. But I was upfront with him
Speaker 2: and said, look, Larry, I'm not sure that's his name,
Speaker 2: Larry Santa Larry, I said, I'm not sure this is
Speaker 2: the right time in my life for wanting to do this.
Speaker 2: And you can see it on the video here. My
Speaker 2: beard is very gray. I'm the same age as as
Speaker 2: regular Scottie, but look how much older I look because
Speaker 2: of it. And I saw you emailed him and said, look,
Speaker 2: I'm not really sure. Do you still want me to
Speaker 2: come to training. Training is free for people who are
Speaker 2: going to work for him, as long as you sign
Speaker 2: with him, And he said, yeah, you should definitely come
Speaker 2: see what it's all about. You know, if this isn't
Speaker 2: the right time, that's okay. So I'm going next month
Speaker 2: on my birthday, May eighteenth, to Santa training for two
Speaker 2: days and I will report back with you. We'll have
Speaker 2: another bowl chat then and I'll tell you all about
Speaker 2: what you learned at Santa training because this is weird
Speaker 2: and different, right.
Speaker 1: I know, that's so exciting. It's like you're playing your
Speaker 1: up for a part, and I'm really rooting for you
Speaker 1: on this one. I didn't know Santa training was the thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it has to be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you just have random people playing Santa running around.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. You need to you know how you need
Speaker 2: to have I guess the backstore. You need to know
Speaker 2: what to do when kids pee on your lap, you
Speaker 2: need to Yeah exactly. It doesn't sound awesome, but I'm
Speaker 2: very interested to find out about it because who else
Speaker 2: has done this? So that's enough about that one. That's
Speaker 2: the beard you were saying, I look like James Lipton
Speaker 2: because of the beard, because of the glasses. Yes, I
Speaker 2: wrote down ten questions. Now these are not your standard
Speaker 2: inside the actors studio questions. Those would be like what's
Speaker 2: your favorite curse word? And you know, things like that.
Speaker 2: But I wrote down five questions that are a specifically
Speaker 2: about cereal. But this is not like Scotty b. This
Speaker 2: isn't going to be like Andrew such a deck, he
Speaker 2: doesn't know anything about cereal. This is this is specifically
Speaker 2: about your experience on serial killers with cereal. This is
Speaker 2: not a knowledge question. Then the other five. I put
Speaker 2: myself in the part of the person who listens each week,
Speaker 2: and I have questions. I've got questions for Andrew. I'm excited.
Speaker 2: This is fine, and this is I think. I think
Speaker 2: the listeners are going to be craving this kind of information.
Speaker 2: You know, it's like your backstory, how did you get
Speaker 2: here kind of stuff. Nothing's too personal.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, no, I think it's great.
Speaker 2: So I thought we'd start off with a really softball
Speaker 2: serial related question and I want to know and there
Speaker 2: is no right or wrong answer to this one. I
Speaker 2: have a couple knowledge questions later, but I want to
Speaker 2: know what is your favorite dial of breakfast cereal? And
Speaker 2: I've got four categories that I was able to find,
Speaker 2: and it was flakes, rounds, puffed, or granola. So that
Speaker 2: seems like four kind of general buckets of cereal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so I love fruit loops and I love
Speaker 1: Apple Jackson. Those are rings.
Speaker 2: I guess those are rounds. I'm not really sure. They're
Speaker 2: definitely not flakes.
Speaker 1: We know that Scotty is definitely in his car hitting
Speaker 1: the cereal wheel right now, like those are golas. But
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I like rings, but then I also
Speaker 1: like puffs because like Rice Krispy Treat cereal was all
Speaker 1: puffs and that's like literally my favorite cereal of all time. Oh,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna say rounds and puffs you.
Speaker 2: Could have too. It's totally fine because there's no right
Speaker 2: or wrong here. I'm diabetic. I've mentioned this to you before,
Speaker 2: so I can't really eat cereal anymore. The only stuff
Speaker 2: I could probably eat are the Keto ones that you
Speaker 2: and Scotty absolutely hate.
Speaker 1: And it's not a good time.
Speaker 2: I'm curious if well, I don't know how to phrase this, Okay,
Speaker 2: since I can't have cereal, it's kind of like I
Speaker 2: really can't have pizza. So the pizza that I can have,
Speaker 2: like with a cauliflower crust or on a super thin one,
Speaker 2: it is not as good as regular pizza. What it's
Speaker 2: the best I can do, So I'll say it's pretty good.
Speaker 2: And I'm wondering if I feel the same way about
Speaker 2: your Keto cereals and your magic spoons and stuff. Like, no,
Speaker 2: it's not fruit loops, but if it's all you can have,
Speaker 2: it ain't bad. That's what I'm wondering, or if it's
Speaker 2: just gross.
Speaker 1: No, it's just gross. It's so bad. Like I love
Speaker 1: cauliflower pizza personally, like I have collipower pizzas in my
Speaker 1: fridge right now. Those are good. Keto cereal is not good.
Speaker 1: I have never had a good keto cereal, never had
Speaker 1: a good experience with it, because it all has the
Speaker 1: what is this this sugar?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't like stevia. You don't like monk fruit.
Speaker 2: I like both of those.
Speaker 1: Maybe i'd like monkfruit by itself, but.
Speaker 2: I think monk fruit is great. I do agree Stevia
Speaker 2: can be extremely bitter if you get too much of it,
Speaker 2: and it's got a weird aftertaste. But it's all gonna
Speaker 2: kill me. But the question is is the artificial sugar
Speaker 2: gonna kill me? Or is the diabet he's gonna kill me?
Speaker 2: Or is it gonna be the heart disease from all
Speaker 2: the extra meat I eat? So well, well, you know,
Speaker 2: we'll see. I would like to be honest serial killers
Speaker 2: when you do keto, because I want to. I want
Speaker 2: to represent the person that this is all you can eat,
Speaker 2: and I will tell you if it's if it's good
Speaker 2: enough or if it's just gross because I listen to lots,
Speaker 2: lots and lots of podcasts and these other hosts talk
Speaker 2: about Magic Spoon like God himself handed it down from
Speaker 2: the clouds or something, and.
Speaker 1: I don't know who told them that that was like
Speaker 1: a thing. Okay, it is not good. It is bad.
Speaker 1: I just I can't do it. And Magic Spoon, I
Speaker 1: remember there was one that wasn't so bad for the
Speaker 1: most part. It is not a good time.
Speaker 2: Today's episode not brought to you by Magic.
Speaker 1: Spoon, actually by no one because you still have no sponsors.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, all right, So now I'm on a backstory
Speaker 2: question from you. Okay, you talk a lot about studying
Speaker 2: in Miami. I'm assuming you went to the University of Miami.
Speaker 2: Is that right?
Speaker 1: I did?
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, when was that?
Speaker 1: Okay? So I went to three different colleges.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: I started off at Drew. I spent a year at
Speaker 1: Drew University. It's like a small liberal arts college in
Speaker 1: New Jersey.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Then I went to Mammath University, which is like an
Speaker 1: average size, like medium in a communications program. I went
Speaker 1: there for a year and then I transferred out to
Speaker 1: Miami and I finished up my education there and it
Speaker 1: took me like a year and a half because I
Speaker 1: graduated early, so that was between two thousand and nine
Speaker 1: to twenty twelve.
Speaker 2: Good Lord, Andrew. Yeah, I was busy being thirty at
Speaker 2: the time. But from the University of Miami, from the
Speaker 2: three schools from your educational path, how did you get
Speaker 2: to Z one hundred, Well, I don't take me for
Speaker 2: that journey.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I interned in the sales department. I was
Speaker 1: originally a sales intern because my dad was a client
Speaker 1: of clear Channel at the time, so that's how I
Speaker 1: got my in, and I pretty much took whatever things
Speaker 1: were going on, so like I was a sales intern,
Speaker 1: but then I was also like, hey, if there's anything
Speaker 1: with radio shows, So then I started working for like
Speaker 1: the different New York Cluster stations. So I did like
Speaker 1: afternoon ships with KTU. I did a night show over
Speaker 1: at Q one oh four. I never even really touched
Speaker 1: D one hundred because it was like so far out
Speaker 1: of the way because they were always looking for interns, ok.
Speaker 1: And then my sophomore year I went back and worked
Speaker 1: for the night DJs at Z one hundred, and Z
Speaker 1: one hundred is the one that like kind of hosts
Speaker 1: Elvis Durand in the Morning Show, which is the show
Speaker 1: that I work on, so I was kind of adjacent
Speaker 1: to it. So I did a ton of internships there,
Speaker 1: spent my whole summer there, and then the final semester
Speaker 1: junior year, going into senior year of college, I wound
Speaker 1: up working with Elvis's publicist directly, and then I graduated
Speaker 1: early and it just so happened his old assistant was
Speaker 1: leaving at the time, Elizabeth to get an operations manager
Speaker 1: role that I'm currently in now that I just I
Speaker 1: got promoted to. Wow, So it just was an opening
Speaker 1: and yeah, I just took it.
Speaker 2: Okay, So how did you meet Scotty?
Speaker 1: Scotty has worked for the show for over twenty five years.
Speaker 2: Okay, and I think I knew that. Now. I'm going
Speaker 2: to be completely honest with you. I never even heard
Speaker 2: of Elvis Duran before Serial Killers. I'm not, but I'm
Speaker 2: from New England. I was born in Connecticut. I lived
Speaker 2: there until nineteen ninety eight. But I never heard I've
Speaker 2: never heard of it. But other people who are from
Speaker 2: New York proper, they seem to know him, and you
Speaker 2: know Revere him.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean maybe it's the Extreme Coupine episode two,
Speaker 1: but yeah, so he he's worked there for so long
Speaker 1: and that's that's how he met once I finally was
Speaker 1: actually hired in.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you guys are co workers? How do you
Speaker 2: arrive at let's have a serial podcast? Tell me how
Speaker 2: that happened.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've sat with Scotty for so many years
Speaker 1: in his studio. We literally wor to like arms length
Speaker 1: apart from each other, okay, and then from there we
Speaker 1: just were kind of talking about podcasting and we were
Speaker 1: figuring out something to do, and it was just kind
Speaker 1: of we came to that point where.
Speaker 2: Now was this the kind of thing where you guys
Speaker 2: are both independently sitting there eating cereal, munching on cereal,
Speaker 2: and you're like, hey, I like cereal too. How did
Speaker 2: that happen?
Speaker 1: Yes, Scotty always has been I don't want to say yeah,
Speaker 1: he has. He has been a hoarder for a very
Speaker 1: long time. So he would have tons of breakfast cereal
Speaker 1: and he'd bring it in for everybody else to try.
Speaker 1: And then he kind of just came to the conclusion
Speaker 1: of why don't we just rate cereal on a podcast?
Speaker 1: It was like that simple, and then we started I
Speaker 1: think literally like the day after we came up with
Speaker 1: the idea.
Speaker 2: Oh that's great, yeah, easy enough, and the rest is history. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the rice is history. Another softball question for you, I
Speaker 2: think you've already told me the answer to this. What
Speaker 2: I wrote down was what is your favorite breakfast cereal?
Speaker 2: If I heard you, you said it was Rice Crispies.
Speaker 1: Yes, or berry Berry Kicks. The two of those, hands
Speaker 1: down my favorites.
Speaker 2: Now those are very different sereals though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like Rice Krispy Treat Cereal for me is
Speaker 1: like a I feel like a taste of nostalgia. It
Speaker 1: just reminds me of like going to school as a
Speaker 1: kid and berry Berry Kicks, Like mm, always, always, in forever,
Speaker 1: I've always loved that cereal.
Speaker 2: Okay, So if you pour a bowl of Rice Crispies,
Speaker 2: are you adding anything to it? Sugar?
Speaker 1: Sweetheir bananas? That's like my mom's was like her trademark thing.
Speaker 1: You'd always get rice Crispy and banana and I effing
Speaker 1: love to that cereal. But Rice Krispy Treat Cereal, the
Speaker 1: one in the purple box where it was all clumped together.
Speaker 1: M hands down so good.
Speaker 2: When I was growing up, my sister was diabetic from
Speaker 2: you know, juvenile diabetes, like since she was born. We
Speaker 2: never had She's sugar cereal in the house. Never. I
Speaker 2: never had anything with sugar in it like that until
Speaker 2: I went to college and was able to buy my
Speaker 2: own cereal. So no fruit loops, no frosted flakes.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: I remember being very curious about sugared cereal and I
Speaker 2: tried putting chocolate milk and kicks, and it was disgusting.
Speaker 2: Don't do that. It's horrible.
Speaker 1: Someone that put water inside of their cereal ones I can.
Speaker 1: I can just imagine chocol milk would make it too
Speaker 1: creamy or I don't know.
Speaker 2: It was just gross. It's absolutely disgusting. I would put
Speaker 2: artificial sweetener on my cereal when I die. They're gonna
Speaker 2: embalm my body and do it for tests on the
Speaker 2: long term effects of artificial sugar, but I would do
Speaker 2: I liked rice crispies, and I like cheerios, and I
Speaker 2: would always put bananas in those, or strawberries or blueberries
Speaker 2: or something. But I can't eat it without sweetener. I
Speaker 2: do not like the flavor of like I don't know
Speaker 2: what you want to call it orthodox regular old plain
Speaker 2: rice crispies. It does not taste good to me.
Speaker 1: So you put sugar inside of your cereal?
Speaker 2: Yeah, or a sweetener, yes, I like I sweeten the
Speaker 2: milk basically, huh. And that's the way I've always liked it.
Speaker 2: And I said, you know, I got to try the
Speaker 2: sugar cereals when I went to college. I've never been
Speaker 2: a huge fan because I never grew up with it.
Speaker 2: It's just whatever. They don't taste so bad, don't get
Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, like frosted flakes. Sure, that's that's good.
Speaker 2: I think because I had two choices growing up, you
Speaker 2: either a oatmeal or cold cereal. And now I'm I'd
Speaker 2: rather have eggs and meat for breakfast. I even if
Speaker 2: I was a diabetic, I don't think i'd be eating cereal.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I feel like cereal is more on
Speaker 1: the go thing, and sometimes we get like there are
Speaker 1: some cereals that I save with Scott that I go
Speaker 1: back for. But for the most part, yeah, I like eggs.
Speaker 1: It actually like sustains me for the full day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: totally lunchtime.
Speaker 2: The second part of my question was going to be
Speaker 2: what is your least favorite cereal? That's not really a
Speaker 2: fair question because in your role as a cereal writer,
Speaker 2: you try lots and lots of absolutely horrible stuff. So
Speaker 2: I'm going to change the question slightly and I'm gonna say,
Speaker 2: of cereals that are very popular, what is your least favorite?
Speaker 2: Like what would what would you tell somebody in They're like,
Speaker 2: really you don't like that? What would it be?
Speaker 1: I don't get the hype around the pebble cereals. I
Speaker 1: don't get it. It just becomes mush and then at
Speaker 1: that point it's almost like I'm eating like like a
Speaker 1: pebbles oatmeal, like it's soupy, and I don't really get it.
Speaker 2: I mean, I've never had any kind of those Pebbles cereals.
Speaker 2: I have had grape nuts, and I actually like grape nuts.
Speaker 1: I love grape nuts. Grape nuts are great, but.
Speaker 2: Man, it feels like you're chewing on rocks. Like I
Speaker 2: understand that it's a taste not everybody has. I actually
Speaker 2: like it quite a bit, though I don't eat anymore.
Speaker 2: It's extremely calorie and carb dense, so there's no chance
Speaker 2: like oh my gosh, yeah, if you look at the
Speaker 2: serving size on grape nuts. It's tiny, and.
Speaker 1: I feel like they advertise it as such a healthy cereal.
Speaker 2: No, no, I'm not saying it's not healthy, but if
Speaker 2: you're doing like a calorie restricted diet, you can only
Speaker 2: eat like a quarter cup of it, or maybe it's
Speaker 2: a third cup. Is the serving. You don't pour yourself
Speaker 2: a big mountain of it, otherwise you're eating all your
Speaker 2: calories for the day.
Speaker 1: But damn, I didn't know was that dense? Who am
Speaker 1: grape nuts?
Speaker 2: It is? Okay, My next question I've already kind of
Speaker 2: asked it of how did you know? I said, how
Speaker 2: did you meet Scotty Be? I'm going to change the
Speaker 2: question slightly on the fly here, m what did you
Speaker 2: first think of Scotty? Like, what was your initial impression
Speaker 2: when you were a young I guess intern at the time.
Speaker 1: Scotty is a hard nut to crack. I feel like
Speaker 1: he kind of I don't want to say he's avoidant
Speaker 1: of interns, but it was kind of one of those
Speaker 1: where its like there's so many of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they come and they go. I can imagine stay.
Speaker 1: In my lane, you stay in your lane type of deal. Okay,
Speaker 1: So then when I started working there. It kind of
Speaker 1: took a while to like crack him open to Like
Speaker 1: I had to get the pass to be able to
Speaker 1: sit in his studio. You couldn't just like encroach his space.
Speaker 1: He doesn't like that.
Speaker 2: Ooh, okay, he's.
Speaker 1: Like a cat like you. Really, he's got to warm
Speaker 1: up to you in a way, okay, and then once
Speaker 1: he does, he's like acause is that how it works? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta like give him like treats, make him feel nice,
Speaker 1: and then he like warms up to you.
Speaker 2: Okay. Now, were you actively trying to oh, yeah, like like, oh,
Speaker 2: I really would I like this guy. I would like
Speaker 2: him to like me. I understand this is going to
Speaker 2: take some time. Was that Was that a conscious effort
Speaker 2: on your part?
Speaker 1: I pretty much do that anyway. Just it's my personality.
Speaker 1: I don't like not being liked, so I will well.
Speaker 2: You are like I could see you just you know,
Speaker 2: being able to just strike up a conversation with just
Speaker 2: about anyone.
Speaker 1: Yes and no, I feel like from the most part,
Speaker 1: I so there are times when I'm like, ugh, it
Speaker 1: just takes so much of my mental energy to have conversations.
Speaker 1: I hope I can keep a brief.
Speaker 2: Right well, I wouldn't. I would not suggest that you
Speaker 2: suffer fools lightly, Like, I don't think you're just You're
Speaker 2: not going to be that old guy in the grocery
Speaker 2: store that's just chatting up anybody. Oh yeah, if you
Speaker 2: were having a conversation with someone, I could see it
Speaker 2: being very easy. Even from the first time you and
Speaker 2: I talked, it was a very easy conversation.
Speaker 1: Super easy. So Scotty, I tried, But you need like
Speaker 1: the blessing from him first. He's got to know that,
Speaker 1: like you're you're good, you're staying around, and then he'll
Speaker 1: he'll chat it up.
Speaker 2: Okay. Now, to be fair, if I ever get the
Speaker 2: opportunity to do this with Scotty, I will ask him
Speaker 2: the same questions of you. So I guess turn around
Speaker 2: his fair play at that.
Speaker 1: Point, right, Oh yeah, without a doubt.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And it's not like you said anything super negative.
Speaker 1: No, like I said, that's just Scotti. That's that's always
Speaker 1: how he's been. Anytime we get interns or anything, he's
Speaker 1: always kind of like they're not going to be here
Speaker 1: for long.
Speaker 2: And you're like, okay, so well, what advice would you
Speaker 2: give an intern right now to get Scotty to warm
Speaker 2: up to you would be like mention, uh, ceda rabbits
Speaker 2: Iowa or.
Speaker 1: Something mentioned Ceda rapids, but mention you're a fan of
Speaker 1: the podcast. I'll probably love you for that. And then
Speaker 1: also just make sure you get him a dunk in
Speaker 1: with five milks milks and two sugars. That's it.
Speaker 2: Oh, that sounds absolutely horrible.
Speaker 1: It's the five and two and he makes it a
Speaker 1: point to do like a five and two. He does
Speaker 1: like this hand thing.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll make sure make sure to remember that when
Speaker 2: I see you guys in personally, get him a five
Speaker 2: and two.
Speaker 1: And there are times too when I forget and I
Speaker 1: mix it up. And then when he eat drinks like
Speaker 1: one that has five sugars two milks, he like spits
Speaker 1: it out in front of me like comically, like he'll
Speaker 1: almost be like like a spit take. Yes, you're like,
Speaker 1: this is dramatic, sir, Like we can calm it down
Speaker 1: a little bit.
Speaker 2: And the award for Best Reaction of a mistaken coffee
Speaker 2: goes to Scotty. B Okay, do you know how many
Speaker 2: cereals you have rated without looking it up?
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna say it's eight hundred seventy. Okay, No,
Speaker 1: you're in the ballpark.
Speaker 2: I'll give you that.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it's nine hundred fifteen. It's lower, okay,
Speaker 1: eight hundred sixty five.
Speaker 2: You personally on the show have rated eight hundred and
Speaker 2: thirty four cereals. Yeah. Now, if you go to Cerial
Speaker 2: Killers PC and you go to the cereals tab, it
Speaker 2: will tell you how many cereals have been rated. That
Speaker 2: doesn't Andrew hasn't been on every single episode.
Speaker 1: Most God even makes it a point to say that.
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, exactly, you're not committed to the to the part.
Speaker 2: I get that. So it's probably somewhere closer to nine hundred.
Speaker 2: I don't have it up right now, but you you
Speaker 2: personally have rated eight hundred and thirty four. The follow
Speaker 2: up on that is, do you know how many five
Speaker 2: bowlers you have awarded? Of those eight hundred and thirty.
Speaker 1: Four, I'd say at least twenty five.
Speaker 2: Way higher, dude, fifty ninety seven?
Speaker 1: Okay, and how many is Scott?
Speaker 2: I can pull that up real quick. It is way
Speaker 2: way lower.
Speaker 1: I wander For me, I feel like, but I'm more
Speaker 1: consistent than Scott is. I'll say, because there are times
Speaker 1: if like I'm eating like a new variety of fruit loops.
Speaker 1: I know I gave it five bowls because it's like
Speaker 1: one of my fat so I give like megafruit loops
Speaker 1: like a five bowl, I give like some variations of
Speaker 1: it all five balls.
Speaker 2: Okay, I just pulled it up. Thank you for stalling
Speaker 2: for time there. If you go to Serial Killers PC
Speaker 2: and you go to an episode tab at the bottom,
Speaker 2: we have three usually three. If you you know, we
Speaker 2: have a box for each cereal that you've rated. It's
Speaker 2: a little known feature. It's an insider tip that you
Speaker 2: can click on any of the reviewer names and you
Speaker 2: can see a whole list of the average ratings for
Speaker 2: each reviewer. Now, Andrew's average rating is three point one,
Speaker 2: which I think is pretty good. That means to be
Speaker 2: not super nerdy with stats, but you know it's it's
Speaker 2: pretty evenly distributed, Like your average is an average cereal
Speaker 2: and your standard deviation is one point five.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that.
Speaker 2: We won't even get into it. But Scotty's average rating
Speaker 2: is three point zero and the number of five bowlers
Speaker 2: he he has awarded is thirty five, So that's a
Speaker 2: third of what now He's probably in his car right
Speaker 2: now saying, well, that's because Andrew, you know, gives way
Speaker 2: to you know, he just gives away the five Bowlers
Speaker 2: like it's nothing. I hold it like it's special. You know.
Speaker 2: So if you if you divided it, eleven point six
Speaker 2: percent of all the cereals you've rated have been five bowlers.
Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1: So like over ten percent of the serials, I would say.
Speaker 2: That you you give out the five bowl awards with glee.
Speaker 2: You are not stingy with them like Scott is. Okay.
Speaker 2: You could also say that you're easily pleased.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the second one because yeah, if
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's got to be the right amount of
Speaker 1: sweetness and like a frosted flakes of fruit loops and applejacks,
Speaker 1: they all hit it right.
Speaker 2: Okay, good to know. All right, A non serial question
Speaker 2: for you, okay, and this is this is this is
Speaker 2: on the deeper side, so be ready for it. All right?
Speaker 1: Oh boy?
Speaker 2: All right, imagine you are attending your own funeral, however
Speaker 2: that would work out, even don't even know, and the
Speaker 2: eulogy described everything that you hoped your life would be.
Speaker 2: What did they say in that eulogy about you, like, so,
Speaker 2: what are these high points that at the end of
Speaker 2: your life, your life was considered a success, Like, Yeah,
Speaker 2: what kind of things would you want to hear about
Speaker 2: yourself that would really please you?
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I never really actually thought of
Speaker 1: this one. I would hope people would know that I
Speaker 1: was really nice and inspire them to be nice to others,
Speaker 1: and that they passed along kindness whenever somebody needed, just
Speaker 1: like a nice little pick me up. That's kind of
Speaker 1: what I live.
Speaker 2: So you're like a force of positivity.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think for the most part, yes, And I
Speaker 1: just I just want people to be happy. And I
Speaker 1: sometimes go to like extreme lengths, like I said before,
Speaker 1: like trying to make Scott warm up to me. You're
Speaker 1: a pleaser, y, Yes, And so I hope I'm making
Speaker 1: someone else smile. It encourages them to try and like
Speaker 1: make others smiles. So that's what I would say.
Speaker 2: Now, I've never met you in person, but I've listened
Speaker 2: to you on lots and lots of episodes. You seem
Speaker 2: like the kind of person and this is you know,
Speaker 2: objection leading the witness. But if if you were walking
Speaker 2: out of the little corner store you're getting. I'm painting
Speaker 2: a word picture here. You're picking up milk for the show, right,
Speaker 2: and right in front of you, a woman trips and
Speaker 2: her purse dumps all over the sidewalk. I could see
Speaker 2: you stopping and helping that woman scoop up her stuff.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that actually has happened before. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it has sen's me to a t I guess do.
Speaker 2: You think Scotty would do that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think he would absolutely. If anything, he'd probably be like,
Speaker 1: why do you have all this stuff in your purse?
Speaker 1: Of course you drop it, stupid dick, but like reluctantly.
Speaker 1: But he still would. I know he would.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys are both good people. I could see that.
Speaker 2: I what's the matter?
Speaker 1: No, oh say oh thank you?
Speaker 2: Oh okay? Oh I thought something was wrong. And then
Speaker 2: the whole whole episode was going down the tubes and
Speaker 2: Scott was like, I knew it was going to happen.
Speaker 2: I told you this is going to be a dumpster
Speaker 2: fire of epic proportion.
Speaker 1: Oh. I can't wait for his text message.
Speaker 2: Right, okay, what brand of cereal is your favorite? Now?
Speaker 2: I have to warn you. I know from statistics what
Speaker 2: brand of cereal is your favorite? I want to see
Speaker 2: if your ratings and what your mental picture are are aligned.
Speaker 2: So what do you think? What if all other things
Speaker 2: being equal, just what is your favorite brand? Do you think?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, let me think, Let me think, Let me think,
Speaker 1: let me think. Huh. I feel like it's going to
Speaker 1: be General Mills.
Speaker 2: It's actually Kellogg's if you're just going strictly on what
Speaker 2: cereals you rate the highest.
Speaker 1: Okay, I just looked at the waffle Chris I have
Speaker 1: and it's posts So okay, So here's a here's a
Speaker 1: follow up question that I'm sure against Scotty would be
Speaker 1: hitting a steering wheel, for.
Speaker 2: That's a given at this point.
Speaker 1: Sure, so Kellogg's does Special K, But what other ones? Like?
Speaker 1: What are some big ones in there?
Speaker 2: Oh? The only one I can think of off the top
Speaker 2: of my head is Special K. Like, that's that is
Speaker 2: the Let's let's pull it up here. I'm googling kell
Speaker 2: cereals as plugs cereals. Now you're probably gonna see a
Speaker 2: few of these and be like, oh, well, of.
Speaker 1: Course, well cheerios corn flakes, I love them.
Speaker 2: That's General Mills. Stupid Google.
Speaker 1: Frosted flakes, corn pops, fruit loops, apple jacks, like basically
Speaker 1: everything I've been saying this whole episode, right, yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay, so that makes sense. So it checks out, you'd say.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, without a doubt.
Speaker 2: Okay, I did not look to see what favorite Scotti's is.
Speaker 2: We'll have to have that on a separate episode and
Speaker 2: figure out if I had to export it and do
Speaker 2: it and Excel and filter and all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 1: Okay, See that is impressive because it's like I am
Speaker 1: trying to learn Excel. I struggle with Excel, I struggle
Speaker 1: with Google sheets. Math was never my strong suit. So like, God,
Speaker 1: bless you for being able to do that with those things,
Speaker 1: because I don't get it.
Speaker 2: What year were you born?
Speaker 1: Nineteen ninety one?
Speaker 2: Okay, so I would say you were you were around
Speaker 2: ten years old? D well, yeah, ten years old during
Speaker 2: the like the first dot com bubbles, so you don't
Speaker 2: remember it. I started my first job out of college
Speaker 2: in ninety eight, and you know, it was around two
Speaker 2: thousand or so, is you know when this whole thing happened.
Speaker 2: I used to work at a company. I was the
Speaker 2: webmaster and we also it was like an umbrella company.
Speaker 2: We had a training company, we had a staffing company,
Speaker 2: we had you know this, we had that, and every
Speaker 2: time we downsized, it was like I picked up another job.
Speaker 2: And one of those jobs was I was the Excel
Speaker 2: trainer because as part of the staff and company we
Speaker 2: also had a training company. We could teach those people
Speaker 2: that we were going to staff and we could say, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: they've been through our training well when they had to
Speaker 2: lay off the Excel instructor, all of a sudden one
Speaker 2: day it was hey, by the way, this is your
Speaker 2: new job. You've got a class next week. Good luck.
Speaker 2: So I was an Excel trainer for a while. Not
Speaker 2: the easiest program in the world to use, especially if
Speaker 2: you're kind of like, screw this, I don't even want
Speaker 2: to learn this. If you need to learn it, you'll
Speaker 2: probably figure it out. You'll probably end up where you
Speaker 2: want to be. So yeah, there's you know, I could
Speaker 2: export all this stuff. If we had done the spoonies
Speaker 2: this year, I could have provided all of that. But
Speaker 2: should have what it could.
Speaker 1: I right, yeah, next time, next, okay, next.
Speaker 2: Time we'll do we'll do it like a two year
Speaker 2: it'll be a biennial celebration of Cereal who knows.
Speaker 1: You know, last year, it's just the funds post COVID.
Speaker 1: You know, the academy didn't have it so exactly.
Speaker 2: That's all right, Okay, another one of those deep thought questions.
Speaker 2: Are you ready for it? An estranged relative dies and
Speaker 2: leaves you enough money that you are now independently wealthy
Speaker 2: and you never have to worry about money again. You
Speaker 2: don't have to work, but you could choose to. What
Speaker 2: would you start doing with your life?
Speaker 1: Okay, So, like I've thought about this, I would probably
Speaker 1: keep my job because it's like I don't know, even
Speaker 1: during COVID, like I don't do well working at.
Speaker 2: Home at home.
Speaker 1: Good lord, I thought I would like working at home too,
Speaker 1: And it's just I can't be productive if, like I'm
Speaker 1: not kept to a schedule. There are times when I
Speaker 1: go through short bursts where I'm like, I will get
Speaker 1: everything done and I can work from home, and I'm
Speaker 1: very productive. Okay, Like I now have a desk at
Speaker 1: this office that we're now working at, so I get
Speaker 1: all my it's a huge upgrade.
Speaker 2: Card table for Andrews.
Speaker 1: Okay, arms length away from me. I have my own
Speaker 1: like little thing going on, and I personally work better
Speaker 1: in an office setting. I I'll say, I don't like
Speaker 1: the hours. Working up at four thirty is not fine, Okay,
Speaker 1: So maybe I would just come in a little bit
Speaker 1: later every day and have it maybe a car drive
Speaker 1: me in, because I'd have enough money to say if
Speaker 1: that's right, that's right exactly.
Speaker 2: Commuting would not be an issue anymore. Yeah, you wouldn't
Speaker 2: be a Trenscotti for rides home.
Speaker 1: No, not at all. I mean he doesn't anymore either,
Speaker 1: because it's so much further away than the old studio was.
Speaker 1: But you know, yeah, I think i'd probably keep most
Speaker 1: things the same and just put a lot of it
Speaker 1: into savings.
Speaker 2: You know. I remember being a young, impressionable child and
Speaker 2: my dad was a traveling salesman and his boss happened
Speaker 2: to be at our house. They would drop in from
Speaker 2: time to time, you know, as paths crossed and stuff.
Speaker 2: And I remember having this conversation and my dad said, yeah,
Speaker 2: if I won the lottery, i'd keep my job. And
Speaker 2: my dad's boss said, I would fire you right away.
Speaker 2: And he said why. He said, because anytime I told
Speaker 2: you to do something you didn't want to do, you
Speaker 2: would tell me to piss off. Anyway, So that's probably
Speaker 2: the case. I like the idea of yeah, Bob, probably
Speaker 2: keep my job. I don't know. I don't know after
Speaker 2: a couple of years. Okay, let let's change it up
Speaker 2: just a little bit. You're not allowed to work for
Speaker 2: who knows whatever reason. Now what do you do?
Speaker 1: Oh? Travel, without a doubt? Travel?
Speaker 2: Where would you go? Where's the first place you would
Speaker 2: travel to?
Speaker 1: There's so many places I want to go to and go.
Speaker 2: Nothing about family. Yeah, family might be listening, of course, Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: we're gonna visit family. Blah blah blah. I mean solo travel?
Speaker 2: Where would you go?
Speaker 1: See? Like solo travel, like I kind of want to
Speaker 1: go with somebody. I would not be a good solo
Speaker 1: travel Oh.
Speaker 2: I would be the worst. You would not want me
Speaker 2: anywhere near a solo travel I don't.
Speaker 1: I can't do it.
Speaker 2: It's funny when I listened to you guys movies, because
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit like more like Scottie, Like i'd
Speaker 2: like the thing. I like to be in circumstances where
Speaker 2: I I know the lay of the land, so to speak,
Speaker 2: Like I don't want I'm not the kind of guy like, oh,
Speaker 2: how about a flight to Australia when I land, or
Speaker 2: not even Australia because that one at least they speak
Speaker 2: our language, you know, Beijing. No, I'm not gonna figure
Speaker 2: it out. Uh uh, I'm not even gonna get off
Speaker 2: the plane. You're gonna have to drag me off the plane.
Speaker 2: I can see you being more adventurous than me for
Speaker 2: to that.
Speaker 1: So for me, I enjoy kind of getting thrown into
Speaker 1: situations like that because yeah, like and for me, I
Speaker 1: was an assistant for like nine years, so I had
Speaker 1: to deal with a lot of those like planning details.
Speaker 1: So usually with my friend group, I'm always the one
Speaker 1: planning everything like okay, and so when I go on vacations,
Speaker 1: it's like I can plan everything down to like I'll
Speaker 1: give you an itinerary whatever you need. But I kind
Speaker 1: of like the spontaneity of just like figuring out as
Speaker 1: I go along. So yeah, I don't really it doesn't
Speaker 1: like deter me from wanting to do something. It's just
Speaker 1: the whole solo travel, Like I feel the best part
Speaker 1: of traveling is going with somebody and kind of experiencing
Speaker 1: it with somebody. Now, I don't want to go by myself. However,
Speaker 1: if I do have enough money. I do have a
Speaker 1: private plane, so that will be nice.
Speaker 2: That would be nice. You could probably hire some sort
Speaker 2: of fixer type person too that you land and they
Speaker 2: just meet you, and I'd say, take me, take me
Speaker 2: to the places that you like, take me off the
Speaker 2: beaten path, but don't ever leave my side. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: know exactly, like you're dude, You're going to the bathroom
Speaker 2: and the same time as me, because I'm not figuring
Speaker 2: this out without you. I'm not reading pictograms on the wall,
Speaker 2: you know exactly. That would be fun, but just the
Speaker 2: kind of like get there and see what happens. Uh uh.
Speaker 2: Not a chance on earth you could get me to go.
Speaker 1: I did do that with when I went to Japan.
Speaker 1: I did do that when I went to New Zealand.
Speaker 1: There were a couple of times and I met up
Speaker 1: with friends. But yeah, it was kind of like a
Speaker 1: things are loosely planned, but we'll figure it out type
Speaker 1: of deal.
Speaker 2: Okay, So one of my hobbies is watching other people
Speaker 2: do things on YouTube. Two things right now. One of
Speaker 2: them is people camping. I don't want to go camping.
Speaker 2: I'll watch you go camping and YouTube. No, I'm not
Speaker 2: really a rough it kind of like rough It for
Speaker 2: me is like slow wi Fi. I don't.
Speaker 1: Aren't you in Colorado? Isn't that like the camping capital
Speaker 1: of like the world?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Probably, But I got a nice house and I
Speaker 2: don't need to leave it, but watch it somehow in
Speaker 2: my YouTube feed, you know how like things just show
Speaker 2: up and you're like, how did this happen? Uh? People
Speaker 2: in Korea camping has shown up in my feed, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, well you know, and it's you know,
Speaker 2: the title will be something like solo camping with my
Speaker 2: dog and heavy snow ASMR. And I love what you
Speaker 2: would call like bad weather, inclement weather. I'm not really
Speaker 2: into sunny days. I like rain, I like wind, I
Speaker 2: like snow. So watching other people camp in that.
Speaker 1: I love it. So you like watching people like rough It?
Speaker 2: I do, but I don't want to do it myself.
Speaker 2: That's my new my watch alone. Yeah, it's usually like I, oh,
Speaker 2: you mean the show? No?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, you don't watch those shows, like you know,
Speaker 1: I have a.
Speaker 2: Very short attention span. So YouTube works well for me
Speaker 2: because it's in the ten to twenty minute range, you know,
Speaker 2: like Okay, yeah, I don't want to commit to a
Speaker 2: show or a mo like my wife cannot get me
Speaker 2: to watch movies because it's two hours. My mind has wandered. Way,
Speaker 2: unless it's a Christmas movie, then I'm in Okay, all right.
Speaker 2: So if we answered the question about what you would do,
Speaker 2: you you know you would work, maybe you would travel. Potentially,
Speaker 2: you would travel more. I see you as the kind
Speaker 2: of person that would go to like Bali or you know,
Speaker 2: Indonesia or something like that, something really adventurous.
Speaker 1: I really love Jackson Hawaioming. I would definitely buy a
Speaker 1: house there in two seconds.
Speaker 2: Okay. So when this is strange relative dies and you
Speaker 2: buy that house, please invite me. I'll do all the cooking.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I love that for me. Okay, yeah, I
Speaker 1: love the cooking.
Speaker 2: I'm a homebody. I'll have meals that will you know.
Speaker 2: You tell me what you want, I will make it.
Speaker 1: Oh. If I hit the jackpot, for sure, I'm getting
Speaker 1: a house in Jackson Hall. That's always been my dream.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: And then yeah, just lots of traveling.
Speaker 2: Very cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, ob a yacht trip because those seemed fun.
Speaker 2: Okay, moving on to the last serial question. Okay, this
Speaker 2: is I took that same export and I took all
Speaker 2: the name. Now, we don't have it broken out on
Speaker 2: serial killers. What the ingredients of cereal are, like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is a cinnamon, this is a corn, this is
Speaker 2: a you know whatever. That would be very cool, But
Speaker 2: the amount of work somebody would have to go through
Speaker 2: and you know, say that each this cereal has this ingredients.
Speaker 2: So we don't have anything like that. But what I
Speaker 2: did was I took the list of all of your
Speaker 2: five bowl cereals and I put them into a word
Speaker 2: cloud generator. So just the stuff, the words that happened
Speaker 2: to show up the most are bigger, and I just
Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of like looking at the frequency
Speaker 2: of words. Do you know what flavor is most common
Speaker 2: in your five bowls ratings? And I actually have multiple
Speaker 2: choice for you.
Speaker 1: Okay, it is one of these, Okay, okay, good.
Speaker 2: It's either peanut, berry, cinnamon, or waffle. What do you
Speaker 2: think the most common word in your five bowl cereal.
Speaker 1: Set is probably waffle?
Speaker 2: Now I thought it was going to be that too,
Speaker 2: because anytime maple or waffle comes up, you seem to
Speaker 2: be all about it.
Speaker 1: I thing love it. It's berry, yes, okay, okay, that
Speaker 1: makes sense because I do like granola's with berries. Do
Speaker 1: you like special kflakes with berries? All those things? There's
Speaker 1: certain ones that I don't. Obviously, I don't like dehydrated fruits.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Don't give me one of those. But for the most part, yeah,
Speaker 1: I could see that berry you.
Speaker 2: No, I don't mind dehydrated fruit when it is berry
Speaker 2: like those little time a little shriveled up berries, because
Speaker 2: they seem to hydrate very quickly. That's not your thing.
Speaker 1: I just a taste, and I've said this a million times,
Speaker 1: it tastes seltzery like. I don't like the taste of
Speaker 1: it rehydrating while you're eating it.
Speaker 2: It's almost like effervescent, like pop rocks in your mouth
Speaker 2: or something.
Speaker 1: I hate that. But I do love like mango like jerky,
Speaker 1: all the fruit jerkys. I could do, Like you could
Speaker 1: dehydrate things, but just I don't want that in a
Speaker 1: cereal like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I would say that fruit jerky has more
Speaker 2: of a like a gummy kind of texture. I like it.
Speaker 2: I like the flavor. Unfortunately I can't eat it. It's
Speaker 2: incredibly sugar dense. When you do that. I mean, that's
Speaker 2: all kind of all your leavings, like pectin and sugar
Speaker 2: is all that's left. But I do like dehydrated strawberries.
Speaker 2: The problem with those is they're extremely expensive. Yeah, if
Speaker 2: you buy a like a six dollars bag of dehydrated strawberries,
Speaker 2: you're not getting a lot.
Speaker 1: I feel like dehydrated strawberries. The whole dehydrated thing just
Speaker 1: reminds me of space food is like a kid that
Speaker 1: you would get at like the grocery store, like those
Speaker 1: novelty things like the dehydrated ice cream.
Speaker 2: Did you ever go to the Air and Space Museum
Speaker 2: in Washington and get the astronaut ice cream?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: That was like a rite of passage for like probably
Speaker 2: middle school or something for us, and funny enough, at
Speaker 2: least funny to me. When I started working for National Geographic,
Speaker 2: they're based out of DC. So the first time I went,
Speaker 2: I was there for like two weeks or something, and
Speaker 2: I was traveling. I lived in Tampa at the time,
Speaker 2: so I traveled up to DC for two weeks, so
Speaker 2: I had a lot of time to myself, and I
Speaker 2: stayed over the weekend, which was not something I normally did.
Speaker 2: Once I, you know, was established in the job, I
Speaker 2: would come on Monday. I would leave on Friday, So
Speaker 2: I went to the Air and Space Museum. The first
Speaker 2: thing I did was went to the gift shop and
Speaker 2: bought astronaut ice cream because I hadn't had it in like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, thirty years or twenty five years or something.
Speaker 2: Not nearly as good as your memory. You know that
Speaker 2: there are things sometimes that you should just leave your
Speaker 2: happy memory because the reality of it is not going
Speaker 2: to match up.
Speaker 1: It's just not good. It's not good at all.
Speaker 2: It is it is fun that it has a texture
Speaker 2: that kind of melts, like yeah, just kind of like
Speaker 2: dissolves in your mouth.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is shocky, but it's not good at all.
Speaker 2: Okay, my last question for you. If you could spend
Speaker 2: a week in any period of history we're talking time
Speaker 2: travel here, what period would you travel to? Should I
Speaker 2: play the Jeopardy music like you're you're really thinking about
Speaker 2: nothing is standing out to you then, as oh, of
Speaker 2: course I would go to I don't know, colonial times or.
Speaker 1: Oh god no, everyone smells absolutely no, not medieval times too.
Speaker 1: I want to go to a time period where people
Speaker 1: at least use the yodorant.
Speaker 2: Please something well when it comes to something like that,
Speaker 2: like hygiene, like you. I guess maybe even the sixties
Speaker 2: would be very different from now.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, okay, well maybe huh like Pioneer time
Speaker 1: seem fun like early the.
Speaker 2: Whole hygiene and bathing problem, but sure, sure, let's just
Speaker 2: put that part on a shelf. Let's not think about
Speaker 2: hygiene and worry about that. What would you like to
Speaker 2: see and experience? The pioneer one is very interesting, like
Speaker 2: that was you. That was the first thing you came
Speaker 2: up with, so there's got to be something to it.
Speaker 2: What do you think you'd.
Speaker 1: Like that type of thing, like old like the West,
Speaker 1: type of thing that sounds fun.
Speaker 2: Do you ever play video games?
Speaker 1: Dead Redemption?
Speaker 2: Redemption? Now, I've never played number two. I've played number one,
Speaker 2: and that was one of my favorite games of all time.
Speaker 1: Oh well, like Ghost of Tsushima is my other one.
Speaker 1: Did you ever play that one?
Speaker 2: No? Because I have a kid and that really limits
Speaker 2: the amount of time that you can give to these things.
Speaker 2: And I love those open world games where you can
Speaker 2: just explore and do whatever you want. That is so
Speaker 2: much fun to me. A coworker did recommend that game
Speaker 2: to me and said, oh, it's like Red Dead Redemption,
Speaker 2: but it's in I don't know what what period would
Speaker 2: you call, like.
Speaker 1: Sam another one that I would want to do, Like.
Speaker 2: Old old Japan sounds really like I guess it would
Speaker 2: be feudal Japan.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it sounds like.
Speaker 2: Now. I don't want to be on the ground fearing
Speaker 2: for my life though. I don't know how this whole
Speaker 2: time travel thing would work, but let's imagine we're in
Speaker 2: some kind of bubble where nobody can see you, but
Speaker 2: you can see it. I would love to see that
Speaker 2: feudal Japan.
Speaker 1: That would be fascinating, like doctor who logic, like you
Speaker 1: could enter it, but you can't like mess with it, Okay.
Speaker 2: I'd like to see colonial American kind of times too,
Speaker 2: And that's an easy one because you can go to
Speaker 2: those things, Like you can go to colonial Williamsburg and
Speaker 2: that's kind of the same thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like if you go to Philly, there's definitely like
Speaker 1: you feel like you're kind of taking a step back
Speaker 1: in time. But it's always interesting to kind of like
Speaker 1: visit old American sites because I don't know, you go
Speaker 1: to like Italy and you're in front of the coliseum
Speaker 1: that's been there for like hundreds of years, year years, yeah, thousands. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you come to America and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: that building was built a hundred years ago, and we're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's old.
Speaker 2: It's really not now. When I went I have like
Speaker 2: a like a distinct field trip memory kind of thing
Speaker 2: of this. When I lived in Connecticut and there was
Speaker 2: this place called Old Sturbridge Village, which is kind of
Speaker 2: it's a reenactment. It's not like Williamsburg that was just
Speaker 2: there the whole time. This one they like trucked in
Speaker 2: some buildings boom, made up a fake town.
Speaker 1: Oh wow.
Speaker 2: But I remember going there and like they were cooking
Speaker 2: food in the traditional style of what like the late
Speaker 2: seventeen hundred's, and there was like a like a turkey
Speaker 2: or something and the head was still on it when
Speaker 2: it was all crispy and burned up. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: I was almost vegetarian for years after seeing that, Like
Speaker 2: uh uh, and like they're making kurds in Whey and
Speaker 2: the smell of that. Uh uh. Noah, thank you. So
Speaker 2: the reality of this is probably no, I don't think
Speaker 2: i'd want to. I'd probably like the period that we're
Speaker 2: living here right now. Can I travel to the future,
Speaker 2: because the hygiene's probably even better. In the future. They
Speaker 2: probably have like robodeodorant or something, you know, and it's
Speaker 2: even better.
Speaker 1: And hopefully it doesn't have a little known because I'm
Speaker 1: allergic to that medi owner and so I have to
Speaker 1: use all natural. So hopefully it's you know, one of those.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like rubbing a crystal under your arms.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, that's something something that I could still use.
Speaker 1: But yeah. They had a restaurant actually in Jersey City
Speaker 1: that they tried to do like a menu that was
Speaker 1: Old American and they were like, oh, here's like acorn
Speaker 1: hummus and like tiny like actually the hummus was good, really,
Speaker 1: but I can't imagine colonial people calling it hummus. That's
Speaker 1: a but me, you.
Speaker 2: Think, I feel like acorn hummus would be bitter because
Speaker 2: it was so good because I eateing acorns in the
Speaker 2: yard and stuff. When I was grown up we had
Speaker 2: oak trees, and it's well, I mean, sure, it's just
Speaker 2: a raw acorn at that point, and lots of things
Speaker 2: are disgusting when they're raw, so I get that.
Speaker 1: Well. I mean, they a lot of the stuff on
Speaker 1: the menu. They changed it after I think about like
Speaker 1: three four months because they're like, nobody wants old colonial
Speaker 1: right right exactly, nobody wants real quick.
Speaker 2: No, the only thing people want is maybe like medieval
Speaker 2: times where you're eating a turkey leg and watching people joust.
Speaker 2: But on that same idea of the crispy duck thing,
Speaker 2: I don't like the turkey leg. I find that absolutely abhorrent.
Speaker 2: Oh when people are eating and like you know, it's
Speaker 2: like veins hanging out and stuff a turkey leg. Ough,
Speaker 2: it's disgusting.
Speaker 1: The turkey leged Disney is. So it's just salt, and
Speaker 1: I love salts.
Speaker 2: Well, you could give me a salt like, I'll eat
Speaker 2: that all day long with you.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, so good.
Speaker 2: And by the way, when you have this mythical house
Speaker 2: in Jackson Hole and I'm cooking for you, I will
Speaker 2: make you homemade hummus and it's wonderful. Oh yes, there
Speaker 2: is nothing like hummus that has not yet been refrigerated,
Speaker 2: like it's still at room temperature for being made. It's
Speaker 2: so good. I will make that for you all day
Speaker 2: for good stuff exactly, So get working on that.
Speaker 1: A strange relative, yeah, fingers crossed.
Speaker 2: Okay, well that was all ten questions and we're at
Speaker 2: the forty five ish minute mark here, and yeah, listen,
Speaker 2: I think that's the sweet spot for your bull chat.
Speaker 1: Same.
Speaker 2: I don't like it when they start going into over
Speaker 2: an hour because I like to start and finish a
Speaker 2: podcast in the same I don't have a word for
Speaker 2: car session whatever it is, something like I don't exactly
Speaker 2: I'm gonna walk for forty five minutes. I don't want
Speaker 2: to like pick this back up where I left off later,
Speaker 2: so we should probably pull the plug right here.
Speaker 1: But it's just talking. It's different like I work on
Speaker 1: another one where they go into like the movie.
Speaker 2: Yep, that's different.
Speaker 1: Podcast Hollywood Gold. Make sure you go listen to it.
Speaker 1: But she really interviews like these producers of these huge movies,
Speaker 1: and that requires a little bit more time. For most
Speaker 1: of the time when it's me and Scott, we just
Speaker 1: reach a point where then he starts arguing with me
Speaker 1: about I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, and then all of a sudden, like somebody
Speaker 2: comes in and says you want lunch, and then you
Speaker 2: guys just like like literally just turn the power off
Speaker 2: and that's the end of the episode. Oh okay, I guess,
Speaker 2: I guess with the bull chat. I don't know. I
Speaker 2: do a podcast called Christmas Morning because I'm part elf,
Speaker 2: you know, hence the reason I'm going to Santa training, right,
Speaker 2: And we try to keep that under to like twenty
Speaker 2: five minutes to thirty minutes. Like when we first started,
Speaker 2: we said, Oh, it's gonna be real fun. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be like this morning show type format, but it's only
Speaker 2: gonna be fifteen minutes. No, you cannot get through anything
Speaker 2: in fifteen minutes, So thirty is a sweet spot for us.
Speaker 1: Thirty to forty five minutes, that's what they say, is key.
Speaker 2: Well, this has been fun to finally be like in
Speaker 2: the role of asking you all the things that I've
Speaker 2: been very curious about. I would love the opportunity to
Speaker 2: do this with Scotty sometime.
Speaker 1: His answers are going to be so much more fun,
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? I love scott He's he's the best.
Speaker 1: I couldn't ask for a better call.
Speaker 2: Here's a good dude most of the time. Yes, catch
Speaker 2: him on a good day, but you know what, the
Speaker 2: same with me. You got to catch me on a
Speaker 2: good day too. You know I'm not hiding behind anything.
Speaker 2: You're gonna get the honest, real mean, I feel like
Speaker 2: that's what you get with Scotty. So in a way,
Speaker 2: that's a feature, not a bug.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know that's a good point. That's a
Speaker 1: good point.
Speaker 2: Yep, he is, he's he's honest to your face about it.
Speaker 2: So exact, Scotty, we've missed you. I hope you're having
Speaker 2: fun in I don't know, Upper Borneo or wherever you
Speaker 2: are on a cruise ship. Oh, it was a good.
Speaker 2: Tell you on the cruise ship. I would say it
Speaker 2: was a priceless princess. I don't I have no idea.
Speaker 2: I can't do that. But thanks for having me, and
Speaker 2: thanks all the listeners out there for listening. I hope
Speaker 2: that we hit some of the high points that people
Speaker 2: have actually been wondering about our beloved Andrew.
