The secrets D

0:25.7

Yes, yes, you still have to stay inside, but here's the good news, listen, inside you is endless.

0:48.7

So get up with us, take a walk inside yourself, go outside and come sit by the imaginary tree inside your heart.

0:59.7

Next to me, my friend Dan, we've got a bowl of your favorite cereal waiting here for you and it's never-ending and it's called the empty bowl.

1:10.7

Sit on partner, my name is Justin McRoy, I'm a cereal enthusiast.

1:15.7

I'm Dan Goubert and I am a cereal astrologer of sorts in that I could probably read a lot about you based on what cereals are in your pantry right now or at least what cereal your parents were really into when you were born.

1:29.7

You know, I had a new cereal this week Dan, before we get into the show proper, you know a little housekeeping, pre-gaming.

1:38.7

Discussion that doesn't really fit into any of our usual categories, but I just wanted to mention that first off I should establish this is a meditative podcast about cereal.

1:51.7

So sit back and relax and let yourself be whisked away. I'd like to tell you, you know when I tried this week that one of our beloved listeners sent us was Golden Tumoric cereal. Have you tried this?

2:30.7

I mean, you've certainly guessed that already.

2:34.7

The universal receiver of cereals. All cereals are improved with the bounty of Oak Crunch, but I found it very pleasant. It felt like a grown up cereal, nice flake on it too.

2:50.7

Do you see a future in spiced cereals, maybe a human crunch?

2:55.7

You know what? If you put some sugar and flakes in there, I'm down for pretty much anything, Dan. It's kind of a secret about me.

3:04.7

And speaking of flakes mixed with anything, let's hop into the news.

3:11.7

So the biggest story that actually just broke yesterday is the upcoming debut at the end of this month, I believe, of frosted flakes with Tony-inspired marshmallows.

3:22.7

Wow.

3:23.7

So frosted flakes with marshmallows has been around for several years now and this is a cereal that not counting the chocolate Halloween variant, I have not eaten since it first came out because frosted flakes and marshmallows is just about the most obtuse case of compound sugar since the beginning of the year.

3:40.7

I've known sugar since marshmallow fruity pebbles.

3:43.7
