0:00.0	Remember when breakfast cereal was your secret weapon for starting the day off, right?
0:04.2	And then you grew up and realized it was full of sugar, excess carbs, and stuff you shouldn't eat.
0:08.4	This episode is sponsored by Magic Spoon, a new cereal company that's discovered a way to
0:13.0	recreate your favorite childhood cereals with zero sugar, 12 grams of protein, and only 3 grams of
0:18.5	net carbs in each serving. Magic Spoon offers four flavors of breakfast cereal all based on all-time
0:24.5	classics, cocoa, cinnamon, frosted, and fruity, plus a variety pack that lets you try them all.
0:30.0	Magic Spoon spent over a year working with the best food scientists and chefs in the world
0:35.0	to recreate the taste and texture of that classic sugary cereal, but making it taste so incredible,
0:41.4	you'd never guess it was healthy. It is keto-friendly, gluten-free, grain-free,

1:09.4	which is you can always start your day over again. So sometimes when I'm having a really terrible day,

1:21.6	It also reminds me of my childhood when I would watch Sionite Live with my grandfather,
1:26.5	and we would have rice crispy as well we watched, and it felt ultimately utterly
1:31.8	decadent in somehow breaking the rules. So I highly endorse not just Magic Spoon,
1:36.8	but eating Magic Spoon, not at breakfast. And you can try it if you go to magicspoon.com slash
1:43.0	with friends to grab that variety pack. And be sure to use the promo code as well with friends
1:48.7	at checkout to get free shipping. And Magic Spoon is so confident in their product. It's
1:52.6	backed with a 100% happiness guarantee. If you don't like it for any reason, they'll refund your
