0:00.0	This podcast is sponsored by Magic Spoon. As you've heard me say before when I was
0:08.3	growing up, one of my favorite escapes was being able to eat that sugary treat
0:15.0	cereal that really seemed to define the 1980s. Now I'm a grown-up. I can't do that
0:20.7	anymore. Not good for you. Inter, magic, spoon. They are producing great tasting
0:30.3	cereals that will remind you of those treat cereals from your childhood but

1:22.8	out and now they are in the permanent list of flavors available to build your
1:26.8	own custom box. This is one of my favorite escapes. A bowl of healthy yet
1:33.6	delicious magic spoon. Go to magicspoon.com slash cowl to grab a custom
1:40.4	bundle of cereal to try today. Be sure to use that promo code cowl at checkout
1:45.1	to save five dollars off your order. Magic spoon is so confident in the product
1:50.2	that it's back with a 100% happiness guarantee. If you don't like it for any
1:54.7	reason, they'll refund your money. No questions asked. So get your next
2:00.1	delicious bowl of guilt free cereal at magicspoon.com slash cowl and use that
