Speaker 1

Recording another exciting episode of Serial Killers coming up.

Speaker 2

You can't say that yet, why because we don't know it's exciting, might be boring as all hell. Whenever we're together, it's exciting. This is true. We have a spark. Think. Oh, it is Monday, April eleventh, Yeah, four eleven.

Speaker 1

That's exciting, almost Easter for US Catholics and Christians, And.

Speaker 2

It's almost Easter for US Jews too, you know. I mean I like chocolate marshmallow eggs and my kids run around in the backyard finding plastic eggs caros I didn't. Okay, So for everybody it's going to be Easter. I mean you don't have to like be Catholic to like Easter eggs. Well, I was just saying it's almost Easter. Well that's cool, But you said for US Catholics, it's for us too, well, because it's the holiday for the Catholics and Christians, right,

the whole Jesus thing. But all that's like saying.

Speaker 1

Like, yes, you can enjoy Christmas, right, which we do. But like Catholics celebrate Christmas.

Speaker 2

I understand, we also celebrate Well, yeah you do, because I mean you eat matza sometimes during Passover oh with butter on my Yeah, it doesn't mean anything.

Speaker 1

Well, I actually still have the Maaza you gave me I think six years ago, and it's probably still good it is. I whip it out every once in a while and I put some butter on that baby.

Speaker 2

Actually, you probably shouldn't do that. The birds won't even eat it at that point. I love it, you know, It's really funny. One year I was at a supermarket, maybe two weeks after passover, and they had cases and cases of Maza and the sign was like, great for bird food. It's like a dollar for this giant five pound box. The birds don't like it. I freaking love it. It's like, oh, with good butter, too good, butter delicious. Where's the thing? What are you doing? Start the show? Oh?

Speaker 1

I don't know why, but I watch someone eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwiches right now.

Speaker 2

That's all I'm craving.

Speaker 1

Really well, this is half of it. I feel like I'm gonna go through a phase like I do with toast. I go through phases where I just want to eat only toast. I think that's coming, but with peanut butter and jellies, where I'm just gonna wear that sucker out.

Speaker 2

Now you're gray for strawberry.

Speaker 1

Okay, great, I'm in concord grapes, Concord grapes or whatever they say is the good one. I wonder if anybody eats peanutchy no smooth n see.

Speaker 1

Oh, you get the rich one. No, no, no, he's rich. Everybody Peanut Butter and Company.

Speaker 2

Bee's knees. That is the Bee's knees. It is delicious. No, I can only have Justin's old Bee's knees.

Speaker 1

For my honey peanut butter. I hate you, and yet, what's your jam?

Speaker 2

You're my jam? Andy? That makes zero sense. What's your jam that you use? I'd very rarely make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but if I were to, I would use the squeezy Welch's concord grape.

Speaker 1

I love that you have bougie peanut butter mixed in with.

Speaker 2

The sorry I like. I like to polander all fruit.

Speaker 1

And tell me that you use what's that Dave's kick ass bread or whatever. That bread is delicious, by the way, I wish they advertised because I.

Speaker 2

Reached out to them. Nothing ready, here we go. Hm. Really good. That's got a little everything, really nice peanut butter flavor. I might be a five bowler. I was going to say that, can we do that? Let me do one more?

Speaker 1

Yeah, it almost tastes like a Reese's puff, But like I feel healthy eating this.

Speaker 2

Yeah, whole green wheat sugar is a second ingredient. That's not good peanut butter. I'm a fly ball. I'm gonna I did it? Come on?

Speaker 1

I'm just thinking, is this hall of fame worthy?

Speaker 2

No? It is if I give it five bowls? Though, it doesn't mean it's in the Hall of Fame? Does it? It is? Okay, so I'll do it. You don't have to do four balls in a spoon. No, don't put it over the top. Yeah I have to. I'm sorry. What I'm gonna do four balls in totally fine?

Speaker 1

Oh, come on now, yeah sure, yeah, yeah yeah, because it is delicious, all right.

Speaker 2

Listen. If you like a peanut butter cereal, this is it, Yeah, plentiful.

Speaker 1

And if you don't want to, like, if you look at a Reese's puff cereal and say to yourself like, oh, that seems like it's just sugary and sweet and it's bad for me. I mean technically this one, the second ingredient is shugary.

Speaker 2

I mean this is pretty much the same. It just looks pretty and it looks healthy.

Speaker 1

Yes, and it's I have to say, the seeds do add good flavor to it.

Speaker 2

Yeah.
