The

The We made up the clock.

We made up the calendar.

It's ours. We made it up.

But it can still be a comfort, I think, to see it roll over,

to know that we've all hung in there a little bit longer.

And then we're still here and that

there's still cereal.

Hi, welcome to the empty bowl, a meditative podcast about cereal.

I'm a serial enthusiast that goes by the name of Justin McElroy.

And my name is Dan Gubert, and I'm sort of a

serial St. Peter, I would say, deciding which serials are worthy of entering the pearly gates.

And by pearly gates, I mean my teeth. And wow, it's actually very artistic, Dan.

I am excited to be here with you again we are going to be

providing you a safe place for 30 minutes or so just to think about cereal and and nothing else

so enjoy uh we're going to have news we're going reviews, we're going to have our year in reviews,

a little bit of a recap of 2024 the year that was in serial. But first up, Dan, let's talk about

news. What's happening out there? January always a busy time in the serial, serial verse.

Yeah, so January really is new serial season.

A new yearial means a new serial, as they always say.

We do often, in my way, I mean everybody.

I definitely didn't just come up with that five seconds ago in the middle of the sentence.
