This is a headgum podcast.

Yo-ho, Big Rye here.

Before we start the show today, I want to talk to you about a wonderful sponsor we have for this episode.

Magic Spoon.

You guys know about Magic Spoon.

Let me tell you, growing up, I was real reckless with my nutrition.

I wanted what I wanted when I wanted it.

And it was sugar. I wanted to eat a lot of sugar. And I took the sugar in whatever form I could get it,

popsicles, desserts. But the real scam, the real trick that I thought I was pulling on my parents was sugar and breakfast cereal form. These kids' breakfast cereals are packed with sugar. They try to dust them

with a little vitamins. You guys know what I'm talking. Fortified, they say, these fools.

And, you know, we're eating it up. My mom was

hip to it. She knew what I was trying to pull. She knew what the cereal companies were trying to

pull. So she wouldn't allow it. But listen, I wore her down. I would just lobby and lobby and lobby for

this crap. And, you know, occasionally she'd relent and let me have some and i was thrilled and i told

i stood and looked at myself in the mirror on my tiptoes and my underrews and looked at my face in the

mirror and i said when i'm a grown man i will treat myself to whatever damn cereal i want whenever i

damn well please you hear me to whatever damn cereal I want whenever I damn well, please.

You hear me?

To whatever God I was praying to then.

And, you know, lots changed from a religious standpoint for me.

But, you know, look, I'm an old man now.

Here I am.
