National Cinema Day has come and gone, Mac, How did you celebrate?
I played around a golf today, played around a golf figure in the golf
course would be wide open, you know the theater right? Yeah. I
had planned on going to see Strays today, Yes, but then I got
a last minute golf invite, so I did that instead. Go Yeah,
how did you spend National Cinema Day? I'm glad you asked, Mac.
I actually did try to attend a showing and early showing, a ten forty
five showing of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem with my family, my
wife and my son. But the issue is, and this is completely my
fault, a complete nube move. I showed up on time for the movie.
Okay, I don't think that's a new move. I think that's well,
things are different with a kid. Yeah, as a as a solo
movie goer, I show up on time, right, But I showed up
exactly when the movie said to show up, and then got twenty minutes of
trailers, and then by the time we got to that point, then we
got Nicole Kidman, and then we got Please Don't Text, and then we
got the movie and then five minutes in. My son is like, I
hate the movies. I want to leave. It's too dark in here.
So we didn't even get to the turtles. We laughed. So he genuinely
was not having a good time. He had a horrible time. He said,
Cinema Day sucks. This is an issue, especially with movies fit for
kids. Your son, your three year old son, cannot grasp the idea
of movie trailers, right advertising, Yes, so it just gets in the
way of a movie. I really don't. I mean, we also get
spoiled. You know, when we go see these screeners, there's nothing before
the movie. The movie just starts playing, and that's that's real nice.
I don't mind a trailer or two, but when you're get into the twelve
fifteen, twenty minutes, Like, if your movie's ten forty five and it
doesn't start till eleven oh five or eleven ten, that's a problem. Right.
So I would suggest this is like, you know, put the ten
forty five on there. But if it's a movie that is PG or G,
put the actual start time on there, because it's a movie that you're
selling to children, right, Well, yeah, I mean what they should
do is if it's ten forty five. You have trailers and ship playing at
ten thirty. Yeah, because people are paying money for these trailers and these
advertisements, they want to make sure you're sitting in the seat. I'm also
paying money to be there. I'm paying money to be there. I agree,
here's what they should do. Go and now this is maybe a big
brain play here. I might blow some people's minds. I'll pay five dollars
more for an ad free, a trailer free movie. Let me have the
option of fifteen for trailers whatnot, or twenty for no trailers and anything like
that. I just sit down in the movie starts at that time. Now,
to be fair, and we thought of this after is that what we
should have done is my wife or I should have went and sat in the
theater and then when it started, text the other one and be like,
hey, bring him in. We blew it that way, yes, recon
well, it's a learning experience, you know, first time parents, you'll
figure it. And then what also hurt us was the last trailer before the
start of the movie was for the Paw Patrol movie and he's like, I
want to see that movie instead, and we're like, it's not over a
month. No, you're not watching that one right now. Yeah. That
again is an issue with with a movie fit for kids, is showing them
a trailer for something that they want to see and them not realizing you can't,
just because that's the other thing. Streaming is kind of ruined too,
right, the instant gratification at home, even for kids at home. If
he wants to watch Paw Patrol, you can put Paw Patrol immediately, snap
your fingers at the theater, right, So happy National Cinema Day one.
Three? Yeah, just three, King of Queen, Middle Street entertain Goo
and Tom Mac two gan Goo Goo can Goo Goo can Sam? You really
really fucking nailed that? Uh, Folks, today we get we get a
fun one for you, mostly because we had no ideas for anything else.
But it ties into being a kid. So good kid talk at the beginning.
Because some of these are just for kids. Adults need not apply.
We will be discussing cereals today, and not only we'll be discussing them goo,
we'll be tearing them. Yes, it is now time for August tears.
Tears that the crash last August. We only teared stuff. That's all
we did all August. I not currently a cereal eater. I don't I
find it. There's too many things going on, Like if I want a
quick snack, I need a bowl milk and the cereal instead of just grabbing
a box. I mean, I guess you could eat the dry cereal.
I just I don't have cereal in my life at all anymore. It's just
it's a little too much, and it's also not feeling. I end up
eating a whole box back when I was still eating cereal. I miss it,
though. I missed cereal because cereal is fucking delicious. Cereal is delicious.
As someone who only eats one meal a day, I cannot waste it
on cereal. But cereal is great. And looking at this list of cereal,
you get that, like the flavor sensation back in your mouth, even
just looking at the cereal boxes, and there was a nice little tree.
And now I have my own issues with milk these days. Sometimes it doesn't
quite sit right in my stomach. But drinking the flavor of drinking the milk
at the end of your cereal eating was also a delight, right, So
let's ways too much more time. Mac Let's bring up so many cereals,
get so many cereals to tier? Mac. Here we go share the screen,
Goo, and we are looking at some great tiers here. We have
six tiers that will be shoving cereals into. And before we get to those
tiers, the names of those tiers. I know you guys are saying,
wait a second, Goo, where's the tier way to seven? I just
thought of it, and that's why we didn't do it. We only have
six but six pack. The rules here, Mac is that we each get
three vietos three and two stamps. Three vietos, two stamps. Oh,
that's what we normally do. I don't know why I was so surprised by
it. And then do we have one stamp remover or no? What does
that mean? Like you get out one of those uh paint chippers and you
can scrape it off. No? No, two stamps and three vietos.
Okay, how many cereals do we have listed here? I don't know.
There's a bunch it rose of fifteen, so thirty something right now? Thirty
four something like that? Okay? All right, yeah, so that's a
good amount of here. I like when I was a kid, I don't
know if you were like the type of house that had like six different cereals
in the house at once. We usually had two, but it was just
me and my sister for a while, so it was like the one I
preferred and the one she preferred. Yeah, it was usually a rotation of
three, and one of them was always honey bunches of oats. Really my
mom liked it. Yeah, okay, we we almost always had frosted Cheerios,
was like the staple. And then I always preferred recess puffs. But
sometimes, you know, when you're in the store and your mom lets you
pick something, You're like, you know what, I'm feeling a little off
the beaten path. You know. We used to always look we used to
always have those stupid uh like the mixed packs oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, where there was a ball in each box, right right.
I also wait muffins every day too, but that's another discussion for another day.
Mac. The tears at the top, we're looking at the right,
those are the goats. I guess they're better than great, but that's the
greatest name we can come up with, the goat tiers. So those those
are the cereals. Now I'm very intrigued as too, high. If we're
gonna be a small hall or a big hall here, are we letting any
Greg Craig visios into that top tier or I don't want to. I don't
want to do that. Also, thank you to the Other Billy D for
producing this, the associate producer of this podcast. So not Billy D.
Williams, not William Daniels. Yes, not Billy Delaney. The other Billy
D Yes the alternative Billy Delaney. We call him that because he's also into
alternative rock. The other next tier here, mac is needs time and milk.
That is the second tier. And what we're saying there is that like
once it soaks up some of that sweet dairy goodness, they're great. Yeah,
and there are a certain amount of cereals that are good, but when
they sit in milk for a minute or two, they become great. And
that's what that tier is. The next category up here, the next tier
up here is follow your Nose. That was an incredible two can sam impression.
This is gonna be an interesting one here. I don't know what I'm
gonna place there. That'll just be as it plays out. We'll see.
These are the cereals where you smell them and you say these smell delicious,
but then you eat it and you're like, I wish I had something else,
or like this was okay. Yeah, taste does not meet the smell.
I know that we've had that issue in the past with other stuff,
I suppose, but yeah, next category, next tier not categories good,
get over yourself, kid tested, mother approved. Yeah, these are the
ones that strike me as like if your mom doesn't let you pick a cereal,
she's picking this knowing you're gonna eat it thirty times that week, and
she doesn't want you to be completely obese just a little bit, even though
all these cereals are the exact same, all your mom's are dumb. Next
tier up is last thing in the cabinet, so you'll eat it because it's
there, but you ever choose it. Yeah, that's one of those ones
where if you if you've got an milk and a bowl and a spoon and
nothing else goes with it, you're like, all right, I'll throw some
fucking life in the bowl here. If you only have in your household milk,
ball, spoon, nothing else, all right, I'll have this.
Finally I'll eat it, and then the final tear up here is a raccoon
poop. Yeah, I proposed raccoon food, as in, you would throw
it in the trashcoons would eat it, but you wrote poop. Well it's
the same thing. Really, raccoon food turns into raccoon poop. Yeah,
that's science, all right. So I got no more tears left to cry.
Mac. Let's get this started up here with a cereal that I asked
the other Billy D to remove because I had never heard of it. That
is, frosted flakes with marshmallows. Oh boy, I've never had this.
No. I feel like it definitely wouldn't be bad, though, And I
don't know if my mom's gonna buy that. So fall, I think we're
getting our first fall your nose right off the bat here I might put last
thing in the cabinet. I'm a marshmallow boy, don't get me wrong,
right, we know that about you. But I don't know if I like
this combination. I don't you know what. I don't know either, because
I've never tried it. That's why I asked them to take it off.
This is more like last thing in the grocery store. Fine, I'll buy
it because it's the only thing left on the shelf. I'll put it here
for right now. Okay, all right. The next one up here is
absolutely a kid tested mother approved and that is Life. Yeah. This and
the definition of kid tested mother approved are they. It's just I will never
buy Life. When I've eaten it, I have not disliked it, but
I'm never buying it, right, I would never get it for myself.
This, I mean, this is the last three categories. Yeah, for
sure. Tears, the last three tiers tears, tears. We're tearing stuff.
We're tearing stuff today. We're not categorizing things today. Next week is
our Dewey Decimal System episode. The next cereal up here is Rees's Puffs.
Some might call it the goat gool. You could include me and that s
it is my favorite cereal of all time. And not only is it my
favorite cereal of all time, it gives you the best flavored milk post cereal.
That's a good point. This is such a good cereal that when I
tried to kid test mother approve myself, I bought chocolate cheerios and peanut butter
cheerios and mix them together. It wasn't the same thing, but it was
definitely healthier. Reese's Puffs. It was not like I remember it coming out
and like maybe ninety six or something like. It wasn't there originally when we
were a kid, and then one week it was just there on the shelves
and you're like, what the fuck is this? I like Reese's Cups,
I might as well get the Reese's flavored cereal. And there's something about this
cereal like a lot of the cereals we'll be talking about, Like Fruity Pebbles
is a good example. All the Fruity pebbles are the same flavor, they're
just different color. I feel like Reacy spuffs, the two different colors are
actually two different flavors. I would say yes too. And then also the
commercials when this thing first came out, the guy's like, hold onto your
tits, because here it comes something that's gonna blow your mind. Yeah,
that's it's It's my number one serial of all time. I'll I'll give you
my Mount Rushmore at the end of this. By the way, next one
up here is multi grain Cheerios, another one of Kid Tested, Mother approved.
But I also might call raccoon poop. Yeah, I like the box
it's a pretty looking box. I will never buy it in cheerios then,
Like, I don't know, I don't even know how you market this,
because if cheerios are supposed to be healthy, what's the point of multi The
original cheerios are already so heart healthy. What are we doing here now?
We're trying to have our healthy bowels? Yeah? Get these? Yea raccoon
poop? Yeah yeah, get these out of my fucking face. Raccoon poop.
It is the next one up here is I think it's better as you
get older. And that's raisin brand. Uh. I still have never tried
raisin brand. With that in mind, Like the day I eat raisin brand,
I'm like, man, that's it. I'm old, like already,
Like I don't think that raisins, these dried grapes would taste good in milk.
Yeah, and they do. They do right well, so that it's
not raccoon poop. It's probably it's sort of a last thing in the cabinet
at least. Okay, okay, last thing in the cabinet. Yeah,
but it's better than the marshmallows. Having never tasted the marshmallows, I'd say
they're better than the frosted flakes marshmallow mac. The next on my pair is
possibly the most consistent. I would say that if you went on Family Feud
and they had the category of best cereal, this would be number one on
the board for most people. For a lot of people, I would say,
like thirty five percent would say this. I think this is definitely a
popular answer for people. But here me out on this one. Go as
flavorful as CTC as cinnamon toast crutch. I'm talking about it kind of needs
like a minute or two in the milk to soften it up. It's almost
too hard. I'll put it in there. I'll put it in there.
But I'll also say this, it's a great snack on its own. Yes,
it is a great dry snack for sure. I listen. I very
much love cinnamon toast crunch, but it is not my favorite and it's not
even it's it might it might be number five, if I'm met a top
five, it might sneak in there. I'm gonna put it in there.
Great, but I think this is going to be a fluid situation. Good
God, here we go. I'm stamping it and needs milk, needs time
and milk. So you gotta veto it down first and then stamp it.
Fuck you, you gotta do it. I just put it up there,
all right, I'll veto it down. And you've got milk, two vetos,
and you got one stamp left. And that is how the game is
played. Do you not agree with me though, on my assessment of the
cereal? Like when you're getting it out of the ball, it's better are
in milk. It's too rigid. But it's such a good snack on its
own that I think you can build a foundation, a whole house on boxes
of CTC. You would have a lot of ants, you have all sorts
of you would have a big old insect problem. Yes, me. The
next one up here, mac is something that I enjoy the taste of,
but when you eat it, you're you're in stinks. We're talking about what
do we got? Smacks? Smacks? Smacks, Uh, smacks. They're
not good, but they're not bad. It's a very weird flick. I
guess we should have kept that category. Uh. I don't know if your
mom's buying your smacks and it's a little above last thing in the cabinet.
Oh, maybe it is last thing in the cabinet. I don't know,
maybe the best of the last thing in the cabinet. I do like these,
though, I don't mind a smack, But once again, my piece
stinks. I don't know how smacks ever ended up in the house sooks.
I don't think my mom would buying it, and I wasn't picking it out.
But also, how is it affecting my body in that way? Does
it happen to you too? Is it just me? I don't I don't
recall that maybe you also had asparacus that day that you ate spas. I
mix them a lot. I have asparagus and I have smacks. I chop
it up, I mix it together. Next one up here, Mac might
be a follow your nose, but also taste delicious with milk and has a
great Christmas commercial. Go, I guess I'm gonna be out of stuff here.
I am stamping fruity pebbles in. They're great? Can you say it
like Fred Flintstone fruity pebbles? Now there is a caveat here. It's not
the greatest cereal of all time. Probably because of this, i'dn't argue not
the greatest pebble of all time, But go ahead. I do think it
is the greatest pebble of all time. You have like a three minute window
to eat fruity pebbles. But the nice thing is it's it's the easiest auto
reload for cereal. You could have thirteen bowls of fruity pebbles. You just
keep dumpling them, eating almost it's almost by the spoonful. You know.
I'm picturing you at the breakfast table and your mom's like, hey, so,
Jeffrey, what do you have planning for night? Mama busy, I'm
doing something ghowing down on fruity pebbles. It's me and the zip line sketch
where they're asking me how my relationships superior. If you stamped it, I
would have either done milk or all. These fruity cereals definitely do fit into
the follow your nose the most fragrant of the cereals. Yeah, this might
be the most fragrant for sure. The problem with putting it needs time and
milk is if it gets too much time, it then becomes almost inedible.
Okay, so the next one up here gonna look at frosted miniwheats. That's
these get way too soggy, way too quick. Yeah. And the consistencies
and issue anyways with the with the wheat cereal like this, I don't mind
them, though, I don't. I don't mind it either. And I
also I like the mini wheats over the shredded wheats. Yeah, yep,
I agree with you. So maybe kid tested mother approved agree. It's not
a fall your nose. Speaking of kid tested mother approved, you got kicks
now, regular Kicks raccoon poop food to me, Kicks with berries pretty good,
pretty good. I like regular Kicks, though, do you? I
do? It's a last in the cabinet, though, I'm not gonna seek
all right. I'm okay with it there. I'm okay with it right there,
all right. The next nup here is peanut butter Crunch. Now,
Captain Crunch is. We'll get to the og in a bit. Captain Crunch
is so up and down on their cereals and they're like specialty cereals. This
you would think would taste just like Reese's puffs, and it just doesn't.
I don't know why it doesn't, but it just doesn't. This is like
a fall your nose one here for me, like something I should like more
than I do. I would put it more into the New Eeds milk because
the milk softens it so it doesn't shred your mouth. It's true, that's
true. It's almost like, yeah, all right, we can go,
we can go and needs time and milk there. I'm okay with that.
I'm never gonna turn down Captain Crunch. Next one up is my mother's most
approved cereal, like I said earlier, and that is Honey Bunches of Oats.
It's definitely the most flavorful of a mother approved type cereal. I'm fine
with that. Let me go to corn checks. I never had these.
I guess it's probably for the gluten people, right, they can't have the
regular I think I've had them. They're fine, They're okay. It's a
last on the cabinet. They're not trash though. Okay, all right,
that's fair. Next and up here is a spooky cereal. It's a seasonal
cereal, and that is Booberries. I really like Booberries, but I don't
love them. It's I think it's an easy fall of your nose. Absolutely,
they smell delicious. But if I'm gonna have a fruity cereal, I'm
gonna go with any of the other ones. Yeah it is. It is
a subpar fruity cereal, but that's still a good cereal. We're looking at
a very difficult one up next, because you can do so much with them,
but on their own Rice crispies they snap, crackle and pop, but
they ain't great. No, not that good. I don't know. I
don't think I would ever buy them, but if they're the last thing in
the cabinet, I would eat them. I'm also noticing that we do not
have Coco Crispi's on here. Those are pretty good, Okay, They're not
an upper echelont chocolate cereal. They are more of a kid tested mother chocolate
cereal. That's fair, that's fair. Next one up here is my all
time goat. Like I said earlier, I'm a marshmallow boy, and what
is the best kind of way to eat a marshmallow with a chocolate cereal?
And that is count chocola Boom. They're great. I might veto that I
don't. I don't. That's fine, use your last veto. I don't
care. I don't love it. I think it's good. I think it's
pretty good. It's definitely better than booberries. I mean it's obviously the best
of the monster themed cereals. Yeah, I don't. But so now we're
getting in, I don't know. I feel like we're not gonna have a
small haul, but I'll leave it there for now. This is our Cigo
Count Chocola is our Craig Biggio. The next cereal up here is one that
I think sounds amazing and then you have it and you're like, this isn't
that good? And that is oreo Os. Yeah, they have the apple
Jack texture on this where you get the ring, but then you have the
little things on the ring, and it works for apple Jack's for some reason,
doesn't work all that well for the Oreos. I would say follow your
nose because they look, don't smell delicious, And then you have them and
you say, that's one of those cereals that you forget that you didn't like
it that much, and then you buy it again and you're like, shouldn't
have followed my nose? It's weird. This is either follow your nose or
raccoon poop, Yes, and no one between. No. The next one
up here is an iconics here, and that is Wheaties. Not for me.
I have owned several boxes of wheaties, but not for the cereal itself,
but for the cover of the box. Right, so, I don't
know where you would put that raccoon poop. All right, good, good
enough? Okay, so duped the cereal out and keep the Like I mentioned
earlier, Mac, I believe that there is a better pebble out there then
the fruity pebble that is already in there. Great, So I would say
that Coco pebbles also, They're great. Listen. I I'm not gonna fight
you on it. I prefer the fruity pebbles, but the pebble cereal for
that three minutes might be the most divine thing you have. But you like
Count chocolate over Coca pebbles. Huh? That is correct? Wow, that
is interesting. That's a hot take. I love Count chocola. I mean
that's do you like Do you like the character or do you like the cereal?
I like the character. I like the cereal. I like the whole
spooky, macabre feel. When you're eating it. You can pull your cloak
over your ears and smoka. All right, you can crunch on the cereal,
you can suckle on the marshmallows. You're a chocolate vampire. Next to
that pair is crunch berries, and I like peanut butter crunch better. I
don't like peanut butter crunch better, but I like Captain crunch sansberries better.
Crunch Berries are still very good. I wouldn't have them goat status though,
I'm okay. I think the og is goat status, which we'll get to.
But crunch berries, I think is definitively below regular Captain crunch. I
would put it in the top part of Follow your Nose, another one that
smells good. But I think the non berry parts aren't that great. No,
the non berry parts are the best part. What am I thinking of?
I don't know, but that the regular Captain crunch, the non berry
parts is the best part of Captain crunch. Cereals looks like we don't understand
what's going on. I put that, put that up in neats, time
and milk. It's better than the peanut butter crunch. Okay, all right
now, grape nuts, get that cord out of my face. Give me
a grape nuts. Grape nuts, fucking grape nuts. I've never even seen
a grape nut? What what? What shape of those things that can look
in your pants. Bozo fucking smushed me. The next one up here has
an amazing mascot. The cereal not so much, and that is honeycomb.
I don't like them. I don't like them. They get this weird,
slimy texture, quicker than most cereals. Wait, am I thinking of honey
crisp? Oh? What's honey crisp? Which one has the little head with
the ears and like the earring and he's like honey crisp, honey crisp?
Or is it honeycomb? Honeycomb? Honeycomb? Well it might be. Now
you're making me think there's something called honey crisp, but I'm not sure if
there is or not. I'm gonna look up honeycomb mascot. It might be.
It might be comb. It could be honeycomb that this box is doing
that. Yes, yes, yes, yes, crazy craving honeycomb mascot.
Boom got it? Okay, yes, all right. I don't love this,
but if you I'm not gonna fight you over it. If you enjoy
it. No, I don't. I like the mascot. I don't like
the cereal. Last thing in the cabinet, yeah, coocky Crisp. This
is another tough one for me because this is borderline goat status for me,
and it's also very iconic. It's not an everyday cereal. Though it's not
an everyday cereal and something you might be able to argue that it's better without
milk as well, which puts it in a weird situation. I feel like,
you gotta put it up and because needs timon milk doesn't quite work for
Cookie Crisp, I feel like, because you'll lose the crisp, put it
in there, great, put it up there in there great. I might
move that one down later the next one. That pair is another one that
I love. I love corn pops. I have no idea what the flavor
is. I don't know what the texture is. It's great in milk,
it's great out of milk. There. I think it's the best version of
kid Tested, Mother Approved. I think they're great corn pops. Really,
I like it. You know what it is the best version of those types
of cereals, so that that sort of makes sense, is the flavor of
caramel. It would be like twenty third on my list of cereals if I
were to rank them, but it would be the highest of that type of
cereal. Song, it's cammel. That's my Shaquille O'Neil saying caramel. Remember
those commercials. It's a consistently good cereal. I don't know if it's a
great cereal. The next one up here is one that you think is a
great cereal, and that is plain cap and Crunch. Yeah, it's my
favorite cereal of all time in the non recis puffs division. Okay, so
I'll put it. It's right here. That's fine. Move one of your
chocolates back, get double steps. You dare speak of my chocolates like that.
They're delicious and I love them. Yeah, I I'm being dead ass
serious though that The best flavor in the Captain Crunch cereal is not any of
the berries or anything else they add. It's the little fucking yellow rectangles.
Those things are unbelievable. I'm gonna warn you right now, and I'm gonna
have so much joy doing this because I have all of my vetos and stamps
left. Yeah, I'm a fuck with this cereal. Listen. I don't
like the the implication there. I don't like where you're heading with that.
I'm gonna mess the cereal up corn flakes. They're okay when I when I
have a corn flake, I wish they were frosted type of cereals so lasting
in the cabinet. Okay, all right, it's a cereal that you have
to mix fruit with, right, Like you need some strawberries in there something.
Man, Yeah, you gotta maybe sprinkle a little sugar in there.
It's just you gotta add stuff to it. Don't sprinkle sugar into any of
your cereal this. Yeah, there's no definitely that you need some salt and
pepper. I definitely sprinkled sugar in cheerials and corn flakes. But my mom
liked corn flakes, so maybe it's it's mother approved. Is that so is
your mom's honey bunches of oats? Is that that? Yeah? You like
corn pops though, too. I guess she's thick on the corn cereal.
Your mom gets it. Corn pops are delicious. Coco puffs I think are
kind of overrated. I agree with you. I agree. Great again,
great mascot we're talking about here? Yeah, I was hoping that you weren't
going to have a third strong opinion on another Coco cereal. I love chocolate
cereals. I need chocolate cereals now. I like Coco Puffs needs time and
milk. It's better than the two cereals. And follow your nose, like
I almost think that the milk after is better than the cereal experience. That
might be right. That might be right, so needs time and milk.
Then at the bottom though, okay, that's fair. Oh, the next
one up I think is wildly underrated. I think this is delicious. I
agree with you, and is always gone whenever my family would get those multi
packs of cereal. And that is Golden Graham, Golden Grams or something often
forgotten when you talk to people about their favorite cereals. Yeah, no one
mentions Golden grams. But then you have a Golden Gram and you're like,
this could be my favorite cereal. It's great, it's good and milk.
It smells delicious. My mom likes them. I think I don't know about
here. I guess it goes in every category. Are you about to put
this in? They're great? I love Golden Grams. Okay, that we're
We don't have a small hall. Officially it's officially too big. It's eight.
We have we have eight. We have a great eight, but we're
gonna have seven when I met it's our largest tier. When I move cappin
crunch, we're gonna have seven. The next cereal is honey nut cheerios.
The best cheerioh No, frosted cheerials. Cheerials. Frosted cheerios are the best
cheerio. Regular cheerios is your classic cereal that your mom would buy you every
fucking week. It's kid tested, mother improved video. That's what I would
say, Yeah, is that? What is that? What you would say
in response to that? Is this also there? Great? No? God,
no, God, no, I'll put it in milk. No,
it doesn't need time and milk, and you give these two babies. It's
the classic kid tested mother approve. Yeah, I give it to my baby
and then I eat it. No, put it in kid tested mother approve.
You suck, you suck. French toast crunch is great, Oh my
god. Toast crunch, you could argue, is better than cinnamon toast crunch.
It makes your cereal or you're yeah, your cereal and your milk taste
like maple syrup. Right. I would put it neck and neck with cinnamon
toast crunch with like a nice vanilla nutmeg nuance to it that made me think
of vanilla nut taps. Casey afflex catch. So while I love Count Chocola,
I marshmallows. I'm a marshmallow boy. Yeah, this next one up
here doesn't do it for me, and that is Lucky Charms. I think
Lucky Charms has the best marshmallows out of all the marshmallow cereals. I think
it has the best marshmallows. But I don't love Lucky Charms. I don't
love I don't love marshmallow cereal. Hear me out, All the marshmallows in
all of these cereals come from the same bin. Nope, I'm telling you
right now, the Lepicon makes the one, and Lucky Charms there it's the
best marshmallows. I think maybe because it just contrasts better with the cereal in
that bowl. If you're gonna put Count chocolate in, they're great. This
has got to be needs time and milk. Let me ask you, though,
when you would eat Lucky Charms. Would you eat the marshmallows with the
cereal or would you save all the marshmallows for the end. It depends what
type of day I'm gonna have sometimes I would eat the marshmallows and leave all
the fucking bullshit rat food at the end, raccoon food. I the best
this and one other cereal had by far. This is tricks. By far,
Tricks Tricks is coming up by far the best marketing of any cereals.
And they also maybe because it's the red box, Fruit Loops has it too.
The Lucky Charms box always looks the coolest. Now I'm picturing you at
your breakfast table and your mom's like, Jeffrey, so what are you doing
today, Mom, I'm doing something and it's as you picking out all the
moro. You know, you know what we missed kids missed out on these
days because it's an iPad instead of the back of a cereal box. Yeah,
when they're the back of cereal box. Has had some fun little games
you could play. You know, you don't get that anymore. They had
baseball cards in them sometimes, Oh they sure did. Yeah they were worthless
baseball cards, but no doubt, and they were covered in cereal dust so
you would lick them. Next one up is the epitome of fallow your nose,
and that is Fruit Loops. Fruit Loops are solid. It's a solid,
solid cereal. Yeah, probably the best of Fallier knows. I don't
love them, do you believe? Because I do think that the fruit Loops
have different flavors based off the colors. I think they do with Reese's Puffs,
but we might have to We might have to test this theory. I
don't know if fruit Loops does. But I also think the only one that
tastes different from the other ones is the yellow. The yellow taste LEMONYE say,
now, I don't agree. They're probably all the same flavor, or
maybe the orange taste like orange. Good good Fruit Loops talk fruit Loops is
Fruit Loops might be the most overrated cereal of all time. I like it,
but it's definitely overrated. The next cereal up does not taste like apple,
nor does it taste like Jack, and that is Apple Jack's. Apple
Jack's might be the most underrated cereal of all time. And it's also looped
like the fruit Loop. But I think it's substantially better than Fruit Loops.
I would have it in the top tier. They're great. I'm gonna put
it in the second tier of needs milk. You're not gonna eat this by
itself. All right, that's that's a fine parameter. I'm okay with that.
Speaking of a cereal where it's two different colors and they just both taste
the exact same apple Jack's, yeah, yeah, like you would think that
the red one tastes like a red delicious and the green a granny spore of
an orange than a red. So you're saying that the apple Jack's, the
orange one should taste like an orange. Do you agree though, that apple
Jack's definitely better than fruit loose? Now I don't love apple Jack's. I
think they're fine. Oh you you, sir, you got you got too
many fucking cocoa marshmallows in your brain. Oh you know what this next one?
This was my mother's favorite. Oh you got it wrong. Honey bunches
of oats with almonds, very specific. I don't like that at all in
my cereal kid tested, mother approved, and the honey roasted one goes in
the trash. Oh I would put them both them trash now that I know
there's fucking almonds in that shit. Have you never had almonds in milk?
I've had almond milk, which is also not made on it. Why why
did I keep doing this to us, but calling an almond milk and they're
not sitting there pressing almonds to get the milk. Yeah, they're milking.
They're tweaking its nips. I've got nipples. Fucker milks. All have a
bunch of fake names, the whole milk industry. I got a bone to
pick, Max calling them out. Max's not afraid. I'll tell you right
now though. You put a strawberry milk in front of me, it's gonna
be gone in a second. What's your favorite kind of milk? Strawberry milk?
I like chocolate better. I used to have two strawberry milks at lunch
every day at school all four years of high school, probably middle school.
Oh, I used to always do coffee milk. Uh, that's not good,
That's not what was the other one that was like coffee milk too?
Were they made like a vanilla milk as well? But strawberry strawberry to me,
chocolate milk is very good. Actually, you know what, vanilla milk
is delicious in your coffee. Okay, I could see that as a creamer
type. Yeah yeah, yeah, like chocolate milk, But strawberry milk just
hits differently. Next cereal up here is the one that if you have it,
it's impossible to get a heart attack. Hunting nut cheerios. No regular
cheerios. Oh, regular cheerios. That's what I was. Oh, we
already did a honey nut earlier. Yeah, okay. This is the one
that you give your fucking kids everything. No, this is also know you
give it to like an old man who's on the verge of death. Yeah,
I can live another ten years, and small children that can't choose,
so they just put it in their mouths and it slowly disintegrates. This is
like eating little defibrillators. Part of getting old is realizing how similar a six
months and one hundred year old person is, like, they live very similar
lives. I don't want to like pull the curtain back too far. But
mac is you know, he's a bit of a hero. Sometimes he comes
across people that might be dying, maybe of a heart attack, and when
that happens, he pulls out his little box at cheerios and dumps it in
their mouth, and then he takes their mouth and he just MUSHes it up
and then he massages their throat. It's like the scene in the water boy
where he takes out the extra special water in the pouch. That's what I
have with cheerios, and keep it on me at all time. Every firefighter,
every EMT, every police officer, they all have to have a little
bit of cheerios just in case. Man. Also, you're having ten out
of ten chest pain here have these? Are those those cheerios? Why?
Yes they are. Next up was another cereal that smells really good. And
maybe this is a better fruit cereal than fruit loops. It's not better than
fruity pebbles, it's right in the middle. It is just off fruity pebbles,
but it's close. It's the second best fruity cereal. And if you're
gonna put two cocoas up top, we're putting two fruits up top. I
can't put tricks up there, but I will sit there. Tricks is up
there. I think the tricks do have different flavors with their tricks fucking delicious,
and the milk tastes good after I almost just called it candy though,
That's okay, cookie Cristmas. Basically candy tricks goes up top. All right,
this is way too big, way too big. Baseball Hall of fame.
What are you gonna do the next one? Oh? Okay, I'm
getting ahead of myself. The next one up is the best of the plain
cereal of like the basic cereal that like everybody has, and that is frosted
flakes. No, I think corn pops is that answer, but frosted I
think frosted flakes are more basic than that. Though. Yeah, I'm saying
corn Pops is the best version of those basic cereals, don't corn Pops is?
Frosted flakes are surprisingly not great, but they're good. They're good.
I imagine if that was their slogan, surprisingly not great, but good.
I wouldn't put them in the in the goat category. But it doesn't need
time and milk either. But I wouldn't follow my nose to them. No,
So I guess this is the one that Mom approves of most. I
suppose, so this appears to be a second peanut butter crunch. Uh,
Billy Dee's is really trying to push his peanut butter agenda on us. It
reminds me of when he put the Wonder years twice on that other one.
It wasn't me, it was him, Sure, sure, sure, for
sure, you know what I love this next one. Holy shit, I
intentionally asked him to put this one on there. Talking about Waffle Crisp.
This is the forgotten one in the in the morning flavored type cereals. You
got cinnamon toast crunch, you got French toast crunch, and then you have
waffle Crispas. Yes that you end up with a better milk at the end
of it than you do with the two with over FTC and CTC. This
might be the best milk out there. The milk just tastes like syrup.
It's so good. Waffles is really good. I you just jettison up to
number five, and that seems too high. But if you want to put
it six, I wouldn't put it ahead of Cookie Crisp. I would.
I think it's more consistent cookie crispmast Crisp out of the box half the time
without it, because you're a wolf. That's what everyone knows about me.
Even though the original character, the original mascot was a burglar. Really yeah,
okay, and I think the original original one was a wizard. Is
that a play on like Crook and cook? Possibly Crisp, But what he
would always try and do is steal the cookie crisp. Yes, that makes
sense. So it's like the rabbit, you know, Oh, where's a
where's the sugar crisp, honey crisp, whatever it's called. With the bear,
we didn't come across it, I guess. I mean that's essentially smacks.
Bill was too busy putting two peanut butter crunches on there. Gat cad
enough Ama, sugo crisp. Frosted Cheerios, follow your nose, f No,
frosted cheerios is the greatest version of cheerios. That is the cereal I
probably ate most consistently in the mornings in my life. Our They're great is
way too much, will you? You fucking threw ship for a loop when
you put count chocola up there. Count chocolate should be number one. No,
God no. And then finally, so little behind the scene, a
little behind the curtain once again. I sent Billy d the other Billy d
Are producer, a little message beforehand, being like, hey, I see
that you put frosted flakes marshmallows on here. I don't know what the fuck
these are. Please take them off? And what did he do? He
left them on? And he also added fruity pebbles with marshmallows. I didn't
know. I was aware the other one existed. I did not know that
fruity pebbles but marshmallows existed. But now that you know, do you want
to try them? I do want to try them because I like fruity pebbles
so much. And now I'm wondering in my life have I been missing marshmallows
with my fruity pebbles. I'm gonna say, follow your nose on this one.
That's okay, I'm okay with that. Yeah, that's fair. Okay,
So before we rattle these off, Mac, Yeah, you have two
vetos left. I have two vetos left, no stamps. You have three
vitos two stamps, and since I went already, you can start us off
with some vetos here, all right, I am gonna veto down Captain Crunch
to needs time, and I'm gonna stamp it right there. Hell yeah,
no, I'm I'm wasting one to put it back up. I'll do the
same thing and I'll just stamp. I already stamp it anyways, it doesn't
matter. I'm using two to bring it back up. So you use two
vitos to put it down. Then no, no, I did it.
I moved it down immediately and stamp. No no, no, no where
you can only do the immediate one in the live round just because you postgame.
Now the rules are no, no, no, no no. I've
made the rules the live game. You can you can auto stamp, you
can't do it postgame. I just caught a mosquito in my hand. Credit
to me. You have one stamp and one vito left. I have one
stamp and I have nothing left. Okay, okay, this is pretty simple.
Then I will stamp. I will stamp Waffle Crisp right where it is,
just to shove that up your butt. So you're saying Waffle Crisp is
a top five serial of all time. Correct, And then I will move
frosted cheerios down. And you can't do shit about it. You're just a
You're just a rude jude, is what you are. But this also now
makes the needs milk a little bit more. There's a couple more cereals in
there. Take away the one extra pebe crunch and put that off the screen.
That's right, I'll put it in the trash. I guess they'll pull
it off. I think you can just pull it right off. You can't.
Oh, it's stuck there forever. Alright, Well I can't even right
click it, all right. I mean that's it's a listen. We started
off saying we love cereals, so it's a very top heavy tier. Yes,
I wonder, I bet there's gonna be we'll get some tweets about why
did you talk about this that. I bet it's gonna be a good cereal.
There's definitely some serials. Yeah, we definitely miss something there, but
we've got a good like thirty five or forty of them for the people at
home. Let's run through. These cereals are real quick. The raccoon poop
is multi grain cheerios, wheaties, grape nuts, honey bunches of boats with
honey roasted. It's honey roasted honey bunches of boats. That sounds way better
than the almond one. You don't know shit. Last in the cabinet is
Smacks Kicks Raisin brand frosted flakes with marshmallows. Having said this, I've never
tried them, and I'm not even sure ever want to try them. Checks,
rice crispies, honeycomb and corn flakes, rice crispies seems too high.
To be honest with you, You want to put it at the end.
I don't know. We don't. We have nothing left. We're stuck.
No, we can agree to move things now. We can agree on things
now. No, no diplomacy here, kid tested, Mother approved frosted flakes,
honey nut Cheerios, Cheerios, honey, bunches of oats with almonds,
life and miniwheats. It's hard to have strong opinions about any of those cereals.
They're in a good spot there, follow your nose wherever it goes.
Fruit loops, booberries, oreo os and marshmallow fruity pebbles. I'm gonna go
buy fruity pebbles with marshmallows tomorrow if I could find it anywhere. Needs time
and milk cap and crunch apple. Yeah, you're capping me hard with that
fucking right there. French toast crunch, cinnamon toast crunch, frosted cheerios,
peanut butter crunch, bunch berries and Coco puffs and Lucky Charms. I think
there's there's a listener out there that's gonna look at this and say they would
prefer the needs time and milk category over our goats. Yeah, tell us
which category you guys want. If you're a mom, I'm guessing that you
want that kid tested one. That's a strong, that's a strong second tier
of cereal, mostly because you put the second greatest cereal of all time in
there, and also you didn't care for Apple Jack's. But there's there's gonna
be some FTC and some tc CTC people out there that are a little a
little triggered by this. And then finally at the top, our number one
tier, they're great, No butter One, Reese's Puffs, Fruity Pebbles,
Count Jocula, Coco Pebbles, Waffle Crisp, Cooky Crisp, Corn Pops,
Grams, Golden Grahams just like Bond, James Bond, and then finally Tricks.
I'll tell you corn Pops feel so out of place in that category,
but it is. They're they're great, probably the best version of those types
of cereals. So I'm okay with it up there. I think that frosted
Cheerios up there makes way more sense. You almost need a Cheerio's presence in
that top tier, So I think I think you dogged the people. I
think I think you did the disservice, that's for sure, all right,
So everyone head over to Twitter, head over to any social media that you
might have at Mac and Goop podcast and tell us your tears of cereals.
And by the way, this tier will be in the podcast bio. Let's
get into Max and MAXA could be anything, It could be a boat.
And today Mac and I swear before we get to the pics of the pods
for the memmer, I would like to state that my personal top five siss
Captain Crutch, no Berries, fruity Pebbles, trick and Frost and Churios.
That's my fun I couldn't hear you always singing. I guess the first one
up here, Mac is Bob Barker passed away at the age of ninety nine.
You would know him if you were ever sick as a child. I
honestly yes, Bob Barker is a massive loss for the world. I thought
we lost him like ten years ago though, so I wasn't that upset by
this one. Right, We've had Drew Carey, who's the better host for
a while? Is there? So this is a good question and there's many
legit answers to this, but I think I don't know if anything matches the
pure joy you would get by getting called down from the crowd to participate in
the Prices Right like Jeopardy. I would love to be on Jeopardy, but
you're just up there, standing there, you know, and even Wale Fortune,
you're just up there, standing there. But the whole gauntlet that you
go through on the Prices right and makes it such an experience. Let me
ask you this question. If you were called down, would you rather go
with one dollar or one dollar more than the high his bid? It depends
where you're bidding. You're saying, if I'm last bid, Yeah, if
I'm last bid, I feel like they usually I would probably go one more
than the last I absolutely would, because now you're not just like like you're
not just trying to win, but you're also just truly trying to fuck someone
over. Yes, yeah, the one dollar Bob is always great too.
It would be fun to say that, But I feel like I feel like
the people that go one dollar over get picked more so than the one dollar
Bob's one dollar more than this dickhead bob. He's only the second highest bidder.
I don't care. I don't like his face. I don't want him
to win. Is Drew Carey still hosting that show? Yes, he's still
hosting the show. We might we might end up in a world go where
thirty years from now, that show is a hundred years old and it's only
ever had two hosts. Now, do you know that the show was produced
by Adam Sandler, but not that Adam Sandler. It's a different Adam Sandler.
I did know that because you oddly have talked about the second Adam Sandler
several times. I mentioned it on the hashtag dorc podcast a couple of weeks
ago when we did the top twenty five television shows of all time, and
this somehow was number twenty three. You're saying, too, that's too low.
It's just yeah, it's too much. Well, yeah, I understand
what you're getting at there, but it's for me personally. When I made
my list, I had my top twenty was basically the best scripted shows of
all time. Yeah, and then I didn't get into these types of shows
and reality shows until like twenty five to thirty. And then Mac also someone
that has passed away, someone that had a bit more of a creative hand
than we might give her credit for. And that is Arlene Sorkin. She
was the original voice of Harley Quinn. And Mark Hamill tweeted something that really
made me think, and that is so when Harley Quinn was first in Batman
the animated series back and I think she was created around two well, I'm
sorry two ninety three. Was she ever in the comics prior created in the
animated series? Okay, which and that should tell you right there how how
good that series is. They created a character so good that it ended up
becoming the second most popular non Batman character in Batman. So in the script,
originally it was Joker's Hench Wench, and then once Sorkin gave that voice
to the character, it knocked everyone out and they're like, we need to
give this character more. It's incredible to think about. Obviously, Kevin Conroy
does a great job, but the two voices you remember in your head always
is Mark Hamill's Joker and then Arlene Sorkin's Harley Quinn. They're just so there's
such distinct voices, and that's sort of what makes Conroy so good is it's
a great foil great Yean and Yang compared to those two voices. But to
be able to like turn that character she I mean, she made the character
it is, and how it's been written and how it's portrayed ever since.
And to have that type of impact on a property like Batman that had already
been around for fifty sixty years at that point to now have thirty forty years
later, Harley Quinn is like, probably if you were to take a poll
or track Halloween costumes from the last fifteen years, Harley Quinn might be number
one. And I would also if you're looking for an episode specific to her,
maybe her best one would be Mad Love, which is in the later
seasons of The New Adventures of Batman and Robin. That is more of her
backstory. And then you know the tragic relationship with her and the Joker,
and they've tried to do it a bit in some of the live action stuff,
but it's not done as well. Go and check that episode out.
I'd be interested, because you hear you Obviously. Hamil does a lot of
interviews and he talks about how he found the Joker's voice. I wonder who
she took inspiration from and which characters or real there's definitely something out there.
Absolutely, yeah. And of course Tara Strong has taken over the character in
animated stuff recently and she even said, like this person really helped create the
character, so yeah, it's incredible. All right, Mac, Where can

tear muffins next week, as you kind of tease them. Hear me out,
well, cereals all the ones that we forgot about, Hey, I
have a quick question for you, since they also are cereal types, would
you agree that of the big three waffles, pancakes, and French toast,
that pancakes are clearly third. If you have someone that makes a perfect pancake,
they're amazing. They're definitely the least consistent of the three. I agree,
a lot of people half ass when they make pancakes, but when they
full ass, a full ass pancake might be the best. You think,
so, Yeah, I think the perfectly done French toast are the perfectly done
waffle just adds an element you never get in the pancake. You never get
that little crunch or crisp, you know. But the pancake is also my
favorite play in football. I just think pancakes are so clearly like a distant
third, and I'm stunned that they get as much love as they do well
made pancake. I'll tell you if pancakes are so bad, they never even
made a pancake flavored cereal pancake. Eos pancake flops. All right, we'll
see you next time, guys. Now it's time for girls jumping on trampolines.
