Speaker 1

Go hey, Andrew, Hi, Scott, how are you today?

Speaker 2

I'm so good. Scott Good live from the Farmland Fresh Dairy Studios. This is Serial Killers. We need a bigger space. I hate this space. I have to say. I loved our old studio. I loved the room. We got to like breathe and just do things. And just like, I feel cramped in here. I feel cramped like. I just feel like there's no room. I feel like the walls are closing in on me in this space. It's just it's not the same, and I miss it.

Speaker 1

I'm pretty sure I need a fibrillator. You hurt me?

Speaker 2

Okay, anyway, all that to say, I miss our old studio so much. Like I'm looking at a picture of it. Look how big it was, and we could have a folding table in there, and we could do like the roadcaster and had multiple microphones. This even if I brought my road caster. Where am I putting anything?

Speaker 1

There's no room for anything anything. I can't even put a full piece of paper here.

Speaker 2

It's just and this stupid mic is in my way every time.

Speaker 1

I don't to tell you, but we got to get on and eat. Okay, Well, you're in a Bi Hurrio. The phone's gonna ring any second. Youre gonna run out the door.

Speaker 2

Right, Well, I just I miss it, that's all. I just I'm uh, what is that? Uh nostalgic?

Speaker 1

Sure? Maybe maybe when we get like Kelsey level, you know, we can have our own big palatial studio.

Speaker 2

Yeah. I would love a big palatial studio. And then I wouldn't mind so much that you have so much cereal because then we could have glass shadow boxes for all the cereals with little lights underneath. My dream, oh my god dream.

Speaker 1

Yeah. Yeah, I'll buy two boxes each time, and one for display, one to try.

Speaker 2

So actually stop listening now, do not let us ever get to that level.

Speaker 1

So, Andrew, you know what I was thinking, My chest hurt, you hurt me. I'm not kidding. I think I have chest cavity breakage.

Speaker 2

Chest cavity breakage. Yeah, okay, So you.

Speaker 1

Know when you were little outside playing in the snow and mom was.

Speaker 2

Like Andy, little Andy, come in.

Speaker 1

I made some hot coco, right, yeah, okay. What's the difference between how hot cocoa and hot chocolate?

Speaker 2

It's different chocolates.

Speaker 1

Well, I did a little bit of research because I always I never call it hot cocoa. I always say hot chocolate. But see, hot chocolate is made by using solid chocolate melted in or cream.

Speaker 2

My aunt used to do.

Speaker 1

That is the powder, Like you get your Swiss, miss, that's your hot gotcha cocoa because it's the powder.

Speaker 2

Yeah, my aunt used to do hot chocolate. And she just tell us the cacw levels. And at eight years old, do you think I know what a CaCO level is? No?

Speaker 1

Yeah, I still don't think you do.

Speaker 2

No, I don't write, oh, this one's seventy eight percent coca. You can taste the nibblets.

Speaker 1

My mom's like, I need a bar of dark chocolate.

Speaker 2

It has to be at least sixty three percent. I'm like, I don't think people could taste it. It's the same way that And listen, I'm sure people's healthy that are wine enthusiasts also know, but you cannot tell me that somebody is just oh you know, it's I could tell the region and the soils. Please.

Speaker 1

Same thing with coffees anyway, Listen, let's get to it, Andrew.

Speaker 2

Because coffee, I will say, sometimes it's a little sweeter, yeah, depending sugar, but at the same at the end of the day. No, not sugar. Sometimes it beans taste different, but maybe that's what people are saying. Maybe France has different stuff than the California. But at some point you can't tell me like, oh yes, earth tones and chocolate. Please just go serial Killers time fillers. I'm sorry we haven't had time for a bolt jack because you were sick for four days last week.

Speaker 1

Well here I am. And anyway, so secret Squirrel Jolt shop right sent me a picture of this. I knew it was coming out, but he got it. He got it.

Speaker 2

Coco.

Speaker 1

Yeah you ready, we live right? I would like that's surprise.

Speaker 2

Yeah, life Hot Coco.

Speaker 1

I don't know. It seems like it could be more crappy or cereal, like maybe uh, I don't know.

Speaker 2

Uh are you good?

Speaker 1

Like a cocoa puffs? Hot Cocoa? Even though there kind of was one, there actually was one.

Speaker 2

Oh cool, So I don't know. Wait, this isn't in collaboration with any of the brands.

Speaker 1

Nope, nope, simply hot Cocoa.

Speaker 2

Life cool.

Speaker 1

There has been a chocolate Life, So let's see how different this is.

Speaker 2

I think I'm gonna like it's no, I do think I'm.

Speaker 1

See I always think that there should be marshmallows because to me, hot chocolate and hot cocoa marshmallows always come with.

Speaker 2

Do you know everyone who's tried that cookie butter ice cereal has been obsessed with it?

Speaker 1

Really?

Speaker 2

Yeah?

Speaker 1

Well you can go get some more at Walmart. The one thing that I love about Life Cereal is that it has the little sugar gran Yes you see them, Yes, I love it. That was always my favorite. So I'm gonna go back to the Farmland Fresh Dairies fridge. Andrew, you go do that? And can you guess what percentage we're gonna use today? Well that's actually three percent. Did you know that?

Speaker 2

Oh? No, I didn't.

Speaker 1

They don't call it that. They just call it whole.

Speaker 2

Okay, but no, yes, nice.

Speaker 1

And it's gonna be the organic one. Andrew, Oh great, look there's organic cowface from farm Their Fresh Dairies. And again I use the organic because I like the container better for pictures. I don't want to show a half empty jug of milk. It doesn't look right, So I will always use organic. Every once in a while, I throw a jug.

Speaker 2

In, you know, yeah, so you know, spice it up.

Speaker 1

Here we go, m I'm excited for this Yeah, hopefully it's good. I wonder if you smush it up and eat it if it tastes like hot cocoa.

Speaker 2

I love life, Cereal life just plain life is a five bowler for me. Huh. I don't know what chocolate life was, but he likes it.

Speaker 1

Oh, come on, you had to ruin it.

Speaker 2

Well, I know what it is. Here we go, hmm.

Speaker 1

I'll tell you. OK, tastes like Swiss miss hot cocoa powder and cereal form. I don't know what it does. You like it?

Speaker 2

I do.

Speaker 1

Most people don't even know what that is anymore.

Speaker 2

I don't love it. I like it, so take hit bowls in a spoon. I mean, I like it. Okay, it's nice. Now. I just wish I had a regular piece of Life cereal though.

Speaker 1

What's regular to you? So plain one original?

Speaker 2

Mm hmmm.

Speaker 1

I do like it a lot. I'm giving it four bowls.

Speaker 2

The sugar crystals add a nice little yes burst the sweetness.

Speaker 1

I don't believe that this is going to turn the milk chocolate. No me either, but the cereal on a hole it's good. Yeah, if you see it by it, I guess it is a limited edition just for the Oh, it's called nothing like hot coke. Wait a minute, now, hold on a second. Now, that could either mean it's nothing like hot coco or it could mean no, there's nothing like hot coco. Like, which one do you think it is?

Speaker 2

I think it's nothing like hot coco? Okay, what do you think it is? I don't know.

Speaker 1

Oh, this is all kinds of just to look at the side.

Speaker 2

What is that that's instant oatmeal hot coco?

Speaker 1

Ooh from Quaker because that's who makes this.

Speaker 2

Now, I really do We don't have any just regular life cereal. Yeah, makes me saying if.

Speaker 1

We did, it would be really stale. I have the box.

Speaker 2

It makes me sad that, like why do they add this nothing like label? Because now you're right.

Speaker 1

So when I listed on the website or when Newman does, do I title it nothing like hot cocoa?

Speaker 2

Yes?

Speaker 1

Really, yes, I don't think I can do that. Okay, then you do you how is this heart healthy? I don't know this is heart healthy.

Speaker 2

Because it's multi grain.

Speaker 1

I like it.

Speaker 2

Great. H here you go. Thank god you played it again because nobody heard it. The first one was Mikey.

Speaker 1

Very good and you know that he worked in our sales department or something for a while. Huh, not even kidding? Wow, yeah, trying to get him up on the show.

Speaker 2

And I was like, eh, I'm not even surprised by that. There is only room for one of us in this town. Kid. So show business a dirty industry.

Speaker 1

So my daughter dragged me, dragged, kicking and screaming to Whole Foods yesterday. Okay, you know me? So we got one bag of groceries seventy five Wow? Insane? Yeah, like who does that? Who can afford to shop at Whole Foods all the time?

Speaker 2

I mean I shop there. So sorry, it's I don't you know how to shop with the deals on when Amazon offers deals.

Speaker 1

You're also a one person.

Speaker 2

I'm a one person, so I am a one person? You are, right?

Speaker 1

So I found there's three sixty five is their brand Whole Foods Market organic gluten free marshmallow Galaxy. Wow, that's going to be your really really fake lucky charm. Probably a little healthier, I guess it's not. I mean it is organic, but they make you think organic is healthy out.

Speaker 2

Their marshmallow galaxy is funny because it's literally like hearts and stars.

Speaker 1

No spaceships or anything.

Speaker 2

Nope.

Speaker 1

What are the shapes of the cereal pieces?

Speaker 2

Just those circles and stars? So that's it.

Speaker 1

I can't open it. The box apparently, well all they're big. Oh wait, look at that. Those are interesting.

Speaker 1

There's and there's like stars, and there's like flakes almost.

Speaker 2

It's crazy. It's like I said that before, that are moonish. Yeah, I said everything but the moonish part. But thanks for repeating, no problem.

Speaker 1

And the marsh ooh, it just smells like cardboard the mark actually right, The marshmallow pieces are very bland.

Speaker 2

That is what I would assume if there was no bag inside the cereal, what cereal would all smell like?

Speaker 1

It just just smardboard, smells like box, That's what it smells like. Keep it crunchy clothes here thinks Farmland Fresh arees, two percent reduced fat milk. Here you go, andy, thank you, Scott.

It's weird.

Speaker 2

For a Lucky Charms alternative, this is not it. No, I'm gonna give this two bowls.

Speaker 1

I can't tell what the cereal pieces or the marshmallows are weird.

Speaker 2

Speaker 1

They're not very sweet, you said too, m Yeah.

Speaker 2

Also the marshmallows case like the fluoride you'd get at the dentist.
