Transcript

SPEAKER_04 0:00

All right, welcome to Random Brackets, the first inaugural episode. Random Brackets is a podcast about ranking random topics, things from random topics, and uh sitting around and bullshitting with your friends. So uh my name's John.

SPEAKER_01 0:13

Eric. Heywood.

SPEAKER_04 0:15

And the three of us today are gonna oh you're gonna do the round of applause. Go ahead. Go ahead. First one. Yeah, that's us. That's us. That's us. Alright, so uh the whole premise of the show started about two, three years ago, right uh right before COVID. On Sunday nights, we would uh rank random things candy, cereal, movies, what have you, and we'd vote on them as a kitchen. We thought, you know, this would be uh some funny content that people want to listen to. So either people are gonna listen or they're not. Either way, we're gonna have some fun, right?

SPEAKER_01 0:43

Yeah, definitely. Alright.

SPEAKER_04 0:44

So the first the first episode today we've agreed upon is gonna be cereals. So starting off at the number one seed is honey nut Cheerios, two seed frosted flakes, three seed cinnamon toast crunch, the fourth seed is Cocoa Pebbles, five is coming up at uh honey bunches of oats, six is apple jacks, seven is raisin bran, eight is Reese's Puffs, nine is Fruit Loops, ten is Cheerios, eleven is Captain Crunch, twelve is Trix, thirteen is Fruity Pebbles, fourteen is Rice Krispies, fifteen is Special K, and sixteen is Lucky Charms. And if you're sitting there wondering how we got these rankings, I just want you all to know it's from a very, very scientific method.

SPEAKER_01 1:31

You sure?

SPEAKER_04 1:31

Very scientific.

SPEAKER_01 1:33

Just tell them the source of website you just got there.

SPEAKER_04 1:35

I honestly cannot remember.

SPEAKER_02 1:38

Anthony Fauci came down and scientifically made this ranking.

SPEAKER_04 1:43

It's a very, very scientific method of ranking. Alright, so we're gonna go ahead and start this. So we're gonna do it. Uh classic NCAA single elimination, sweet 16 style. That's how we do it. Uh that's how we run the bracket. So um the first matchup, uh, the nut the number one seed, the classic Honey Budgets of O'S. Honey Bunch, sorry, honey nut Cheerios. I've messed up there. Honey Nut Cheerios versus number 16, Lucky Charms. Does anyone go ahead on an opening argument?

SPEAKER_01 2:10

So let me just get this right. You're you're being biased against honey nut Cheerios because you said honey budget of votes like twice.

SPEAKER_04 2:17

I I know what I said. It's honey nut Cheerios, I'm sorry. I made a mistake. Again, does anybody would anybody like to make the opening argument for either one of these cereals?

SPEAKER_01 2:27

Lucky charms. Lucky charms. I'm gonna say Lucky Charms. Lucky Charms is the classic, most sweet cereal you're gonna get. And they had the best commercials, like literally.

SPEAKER_02 2:37

What are you five?

SPEAKER_04 2:38

Yeah, I honestly.

SPEAKER_01 2:39

Yes. Yes, how dare you? When you feel when you eat cereal, you feel like you want to be a kid again.

SPEAKER_04 2:45

So the best the best commercials makes it better than the classic honey nut Cheerios? Because listen, we all start off with cheer, we all start off with Cheerios. Honey nut Cheerios, though, that's the first sweet cereal. If we're if we're going on which one's better, your first sweet cereal isn't lucky charms. Your first sweet cereal is honey nut Cheerios.

SPEAKER_01 3:00

Are you were you born in the 70s?

SPEAKER_04 3:02

What do you mean if I wasn't born in the 70s?

SPEAKER_01 3:03

Were you born in the 70s?

SPEAKER_04 3:04

I was born in 89, just like you were born. First of all, if anybody was born in the 70s, it was you. Because you're like 39 years old, 40 years old. I don't hear nothing from you.

SPEAKER_01 3:11

Actually, 33 years old. Throw my ass. 33. Love lucky charms. Marshmallows.

SPEAKER_02 3:18

Listen. If you have to sell a whole box of cereal that's just nothing but marshmallows, you know your cereal is trash.

SPEAKER_04 3:27

Yeah, I'm gonna agree with that. Is honey nut cheer? No, you I got a question. Lucky charms, is it half the cereal you like, or is it just is it? It's the whole thing. Is it the whole thing? Because right now, all the kids are your arguments. Yeah, your only argument's the part of the part. No, you don't.

SPEAKER_01 3:42

It's a it's not like a savory, sweet type of cereal.

SPEAKER_04 3:45

You didn't bring up the cereal part till we did. I'm gonna say that's a bad bullshit on that.

SPEAKER_01 3:49

I was just about to say that. There you are. It's uh honey nut Cheerios upgrade.

SPEAKER_04 3:53

Listen, if you like marshmallows as a cereal, you can just say that. Do you drink hot cocoa? Just say that.

SPEAKER_01 3:57

Do you drink you drink hot cocoa?

SPEAKER_04 3:58

What does hot cocoa have to do with anything?

SPEAKER_01 3:59

Do you drink hot cocoa? Yeah, I do like hot cocoa. You like it with marshmallows?

SPEAKER_04 4:02

I like it with as an accompaniment. An accompaniment? An accompaniment to the hot chocolate. I can eat hot cocoa I can drink hot cocoa by itself. I can drink hot cocoa by itself. I don't need the marshmallows. It's nice. Lucky charms. So it's so what you're doing. Lucky charms.

SPEAKER_01 4:17

Would you say it's an upgrade?

SPEAKER_04 4:18

If you add the end of the Yeah, but right now we're arguing about the cereal itself.

SPEAKER_01 4:21

Thank you. So it's an upgrade. It's an upgrade. Lucky Charms is a Honey Chichiros doesn't need the upgrade. Oh my god. So we're going with.

SPEAKER_02 4:29

But marshmallows on hot cocoa is just a luxury. Right? It's a luxury. You need the marshmallows on Lucky Charms to even choke it down. It's like sawdust.

SPEAKER_04 4:38

It's sawdust. I'm honestly, I'm pretty sure that Lucky Charms is developed in Ireland, right? And you got the little leprechaun, and what he's doing, he's making the marshmallows, and then the actual cereal comes from the sawdust of the of the houses he's making, right? Because I don't know if anyone knows he's a carpenter, right? The leprechaun's down the carpenter. Like Jesus. Okay, I can't even argue. He puts the things together and he makes the cereal. It's sawdust.

SPEAKER_00 5:07

That was the best. I think that was the best explanation we heard today. Honestly, but that sounds good. So Honey Not Cheerios. We're going to not cheer us.

SPEAKER_04 5:20

Alright. Alright, no upset yet. Alright, so here we go. Number nine, Fruit Loops versus 8 Reese's puffs.

SPEAKER_02 5:27

Who the hell's saying Fruit Loops? It's all the same flavor. It literally isn't a there isn't any other flavor of fruit. It's just the same flavor.

SPEAKER_04 5:39

So you guys know how I feel about chocolate and peanut butter.

SPEAKER_01 5:41

It's a beautiful thing. It's a beautiful thing.

SPEAKER_02 5:44

The Lord himself came down.

SPEAKER_04 5:45

100% nine out of ten times. Listen, uh in the order of things after after God made animals and all that stuff, right? He made boobs and then he made chocolate and peanut butter. Like if we're gonna be honest, right?

SPEAKER_01 5:57

He made cars, then chocolate and peanut butter. Cars.

SPEAKER_04 6:00

No, Henry Ford made a car.

SPEAKER_01 6:02

Who hate who made Henry Ford? God. Thank you.

SPEAKER_04 6:04

There we go. I guess this is a very Christian debate. This is a very Christian based podcast.

SPEAKER_00 6:12

So I will go with uh Reese Pops.

SPEAKER_04 6:15

See it's a it's a I can't have an argument with Fruit Loops. So here's the thing I'm going with Fruit Loops. So my argument my argument for Fruit Loops is There is no Fruit, there is no argument with the floor.

SPEAKER_01 6:24

I really can't have an argument with Fruit Loops. The only way I can argue with a Fruit Loop because it's a classic is it's got a great mascot.

SPEAKER_02 6:30

I mean two can't say them.

SPEAKER_04 6:31

Yeah, but are we are we basing it off of are we are we factored in mascots to this? Are we?

SPEAKER_01 6:37

Because if we were talking about a coyote for Cookie Chris, he was a cool mascot, also.

SPEAKER_04 6:41

Yeah, Cookie Chris when I was. He didn't make the cut. See? He didn't make the cut. He didn't make the cut. So are we really going we're going to Reese's Puffs? I mean I'm out. I'm gonna I'm vote for Fruit Loops. Because as a cereal as much as I love chocolate peanut butter, I like Fruit Loops as a cereal more than I like Reese's puffs.

SPEAKER_01 6:58

But Reese's puffs are mad. You're good. You can actually drink the milk after the cereal.

SPEAKER_04 7:20

Where's that music coming from? Hey, can you pause it? Alright, next up is Honey Bunches of Oats at number five versus Tricks.

SPEAKER_01 7:33

And I'm gonna say this right now. Definitely going with the mascot.

SPEAKER_04 7:35

I'm gonna Are you Are you kidding me right now?

SPEAKER_01 7:37

Definitely going with the mascot.

SPEAKER_04 7:38

Wait, listen here, you silly guy. Tricks are for kids. You guys are children. You guys are children. Honey Bunch of Oats has oat clusters, right? It's got the little almond slivers, it's got cornflakes. Are you kidding me right now? It's crunchy, it's sweet, it's savory, it's salty, it is sweet.

SPEAKER_01 7:56

It is definitely not sweet.

SPEAKER_04 7:57

You guys are you you're joking, right?

SPEAKER_01 8:00

It's a little tricky. Let me ask you something. Are you have you having trouble pooping or something? What? You having trouble pooping?

SPEAKER_04 8:06

Like, are you asking me if I'm constipated?

SPEAKER_01 8:09

Literally, you because it sounds like you just want high fiber. Like, literally. That's what it sounds like. Okay, one, my love for fiber. Is your cholesterol a lot?

SPEAKER_04 8:15

My love for fiber is well known.

SPEAKER_01 8:17

Is your cholesterol?

SPEAKER_04 8:18

Well, I don't it's no, it's normal.

SPEAKER_01 8:20

Then what's up with honey bunch of votes?

SPEAKER_04 8:22

One, having having a good matter of fact, you can't. If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, right? Uh uh good gut health is important to good mental health, right? I believe so. Right. Constipated people are you said, stupid shit, thank you. Upset people, right? They're happy. Unconstipated people are happy people. Right. So honey bunches of oats provides both fiber and sweetness. I get a cringe every time you say that. What?

SPEAKER_01 8:48

I just get a cringe every time you say that. Honey bunch of votes. Like I can't even say it.

SPEAKER_04 8:52

It's delicious. Am I losing this one? Am I losing this to one, two to one? You're definitely losing this one. That's gonna be you overused pretty quickly.

SPEAKER_00 9:04

All right, here we go. Old ass man, bro. Here we go. Who's an old ass man? Like, how are you 60 and look 34?

SPEAKER_04 9:15

Bro, I got called I got called 43 the other day. I I bet you did. I did get 33 the other day.

SPEAKER_00 9:21

What did you say over the colour? Hello, what did you say? I got some gray coming in. Matter of fact, what did you say?

SPEAKER_04 9:24

I said, fuck you, I'm 32.

SPEAKER_00 9:27

No, what did you say before that to give call?

SPEAKER_04 9:29

No, because it was like there was one of our security guards was talking to this table, and they were like playing a game about who had like they had a game going on guessing someone's age, and then whoever lost had to buy the next shot. And my security guard called me over, and I had just met the security guard a couple nights before, so I didn't really know him that well. And he was like playing, but he wasn't in the game with them, right? Um, but they were like, Alright, everyone guess my age. And one, you know, the girl was like, She's trying to be nice. She said, Oh, 25. I'm like, okay, well, that's obviously not true, right? Um, I mean, she might have said 28 so she wouldn't have to buy the shot, right? Just have someone be off, you know what I mean? Like, and then another one, another guy went, Yeah, he's gotta be like, he's 33, 34. I'm like, all right, that's not offensive. One guy was like, he looked at me hard and was like, I mean, he looked at me hard and he was like, nah, this dude's 42. And I was like, get I like he said it with full-on sincerity. And then the security guard was like, Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like 40. He's 40. I was like, damn.

SPEAKER_02 10:28

I can see it. Damn, I can't.

SPEAKER_01 10:29

I can actually see it. The wrinkles in the forehead. I had a wrinkles in there. The rose bushes outside.

SPEAKER_04 10:34

What does my rosebushes have any? You know what? This is not a podcast about my being older. You're right, you're right, you're right. This is a podcast about cereal. So we're gonna we're gonna bring it back. All right. Bring it back. Number 13, fruity pebbles versus four cocoa pebbles.

SPEAKER_01 10:46

Oh, fucker. Huh? Fruity pebbles?

SPEAKER_04 10:49

Frodo Fruity Pebbles over four cocoa pebbles.

SPEAKER_01 10:52

Did you really put fruity pebbles together?

SPEAKER_04 10:54

Oh, I definitely did. That definitely happened. 100%. Scientific method. There was a very scientific, very, very, very scientific method on rankings. And I'm gonna tell you.

SPEAKER_00 11:03

Like, how dare you put those two together at the first round?

SPEAKER_04 11:07

I'm gonna say this too. Mascots are the same, so we can't.

SPEAKER_02 11:10

Jesus is disappointed in here.

SPEAKER_04 11:11

You can't, you can't. The mascots is the flintstones on both of them, so you really can't say anything. And obviously, Fruity Pebbles is a superior cereal. No, it's not. What is up with you guys in chocolate first thing in the morning? What did you guys' parents raise you on? Honestly. How do you get through the day? How do you get through the day? I mean, it's sugar, the sugar's probably the same, but I mean, who's the case?

SPEAKER_01 11:29

I don't even know how this person actually chooses, about to choose fruity pebbles, but also eats honey bunches of oats.

SPEAKER_04 11:36

Fruity pebbles over cocoa pebbles? Over cocoa pebbles, absolutely. 100%. Then what the fuck are you talking about? Fruity pebbles over cocoa over cocoa pebbles.

SPEAKER_01 11:44

Fruity pebbles, why? What do you mean? How? It tastes better. No, it doesn't. Yes, it does. It's the same flavor. I love a just like Fruit Loops, but in a rice form.

SPEAKER_04 11:51

No, no, no. Yeah. It tastes better than cocoa pebbles.

SPEAKER_01 11:54

No, it does not. Yes, it does. It's a natural flavor of chocolate.

SPEAKER_04 11:59

Yes. I don't want chocolate first thing in the morning. I mean, honestly, this this whole reggae just is going to become a chocolate, a chocolate mess.

SPEAKER_01 12:05

No, it's not.

SPEAKER_04 12:07

I've got two chocolates already.

SPEAKER_01 12:09

Let's go ahead and put it like this. I get chocolate wasted a lot.

unknown 12:17

Alright.

SPEAKER_02 12:18

Look, I'll go with fruity pebbles for you. I'll give you a win. Are you serious right now? I feel bad that you're losing pretty hard.

SPEAKER_04 12:23

No, don't feel bad for me. Don't be biased. Don't be biased. Don't feel bad. If you like fruity pebbles more than you like cocoa pebbles, just say so.

SPEAKER_02 12:29

It's pretty much the same. I can go either way. Well, no, no. Cocoa pebbles.

SPEAKER_01 12:34

We know you go either way. Cocoa Pebbles is 2022.

SPEAKER_04 12:36

You've made a couple passes at both of us at this table. We know you can go both ways. We're asking about cocoa pebbles or fruity pebbles.

SPEAKER_01 12:41

Definitely. Which one? And I'm staring him intensely in the eye just to see what he's saying.

SPEAKER_04 12:48

Why are you acting like Kelly trying to pick dinner? Okay.

SPEAKER_02 12:51

Literally. So I love the suspense. Not gonna lie. I love the suspense. I love to know the fact that we can't move on until I make a decision.

SPEAKER_00 13:01

We cannot because Cocoa Pebbles is everything, man.

SPEAKER_03 13:05

It's not everything.

SPEAKER_01 13:05

Yes, it is.

SPEAKER_04 13:06

Why is every cereal your favorite cereal?

SPEAKER_01 13:08

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_04 13:09

Why are you acting like every cereal is your favorite cereal? And to be honest, because it's my topic. Fruity Pebbles was the original. It came out before Cocoa Pebbles. It tastes better.

SPEAKER_01 13:17

And so they came out with an upgrade.

SPEAKER_04 13:18

They come up with an upgrade.

SPEAKER_01 13:19

Upgrade.

SPEAKER_04 13:20

People like you just want chocolate for breakfast.

SPEAKER_01 13:21

Cocoa Pebbles.

SPEAKER_04 13:22

No, Fruity Pebbles.

SPEAKER_01 13:23

They made a way for chocolate to get the flip mixed in and it actually gives you good chocolate milk.

SPEAKER_03 13:29

Who wants that's that's ridiculous? How dare you? Fruity Pebbles.

SPEAKER_02 13:31

Chocolate milk is a little kind of weak, weak on a cocoa pebbles. And it's weak. No, it's not weak. It's actually a big thing.

SPEAKER_01 13:37

It depends on how much how much milk you're pouring in your chocolate. It's the LaCroix of chocolate. Are you pouring more milk than some of the.

SPEAKER_04 13:43

It's the LaCroix of chocolate milk. The chocolate milk left over after cocoa pebbles, it's like a hint of chocolate milk.

SPEAKER_01 13:50

No, it's not.

SPEAKER_04 13:51

It's enough chocolate milk to make it. It is not a light-skinned chocolate milk. The reason why I don't like cocoa pebbles is because the chocolate milk left after the country is weak. It's weak and it's got little sugar bits on it. It's not even fully dissolved. It's a weak, weak, weak milk.

SPEAKER_01 14:04

So what you're saying is, what you're saying is just like Eric here. Irish?

unknown 14:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:10

See, he's white. Yeah. But he has 2% black.

SPEAKER_04 14:13

Okay, what about it?

SPEAKER_01 14:14

So you're saying my chocolate milk is just like that? That's what I'm saying. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He's not chocolate milk. No.

SPEAKER_04 14:18

That's what I'm saying. No. It's a 2% black white person. That's the chocolate milk. It's enough to change the color of the milk, though. Yes, it is. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You're right. It's enough to change the color of the milk, but it's not enough to change the colour. So 45% chocolate. You can say what you want. It's bad chocolate milk.

SPEAKER_02 14:37

I'm actually going to go fruity pebbles just because of the patch and John showing for Fruity Pebbles. Thank you.

SPEAKER_04 14:41

You know what? Listen.

SPEAKER_02 14:42

Sometimes you're being biased.

SPEAKER_04 14:43

He's not being biased. I made a good point. Wow. Honestly, we made a 10 minutes. How many minutes did we make it into? 14 minutes. 14 minutes. I'm proud of him. He actually held off 14 minutes. He lasted 13 minutes longer than last time. Yeah, I did. You feel good?

SPEAKER_00 15:00

I feel awesome. I feel awesome. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_04 15:04

Alright, well, we're going to go ahead and move on because it's fruity pebbles.

SPEAKER_01 15:06

Do you already had it written down? No, before we even made the decision. I did not. How dare you?

SPEAKER_04 15:10

I wrote it. I wrote it when you see it. Alright, number three, Cinematose Crunch was for 14 Rice Krispies.

SPEAKER_02 15:17

Cinema Cinematose Crunch.

unknown 15:19

What the?

SPEAKER_02 15:20

Rice Krispies is plain, bro.

SPEAKER_04 15:22

Before I go jump into a very riveted, intense argument, is there any chance of swinging either? There is no chance of swinging.

SPEAKER_01 15:31

There is no swing. I was just going to put it like this. Do you add sugar to your rice crisp? As soon as we all turn 30. Are we adding sugar to the rice krispies? I will.

SPEAKER_02 15:40

As soon as we all turn 30, we all hear snack crackle pop in the morning. We don't need to hear it from our cereal.

SPEAKER_04 15:45

First of all, I do not hear snap crackle pop for a scene. Yes, you do. I don't.

SPEAKER_01 15:48

You're 42 years old.

SPEAKER_04 15:54

I've had a stressful life, man.

SPEAKER_01 15:58

So, but actually, no, seriously, do you add sugar to your rice recipes?

SPEAKER_04 16:02

I don't add sugar to any of my cereals. They already come super sweet. Oh my god, I'm an old man. I'm an old man.

unknown 16:13

Alright.

SPEAKER_00 16:14

Yeah, so Captain Sunday. Since there is no argument on the case.

SPEAKER_04 16:17

We're gonna go number 11, Captain Crunch versus number six, Applejacks. The answer is obvious. It's Captain Crunch. It's Captain Crunch. Captain Crunch is Captain Crunch is a fan. Okay. It's a superior cereal.

SPEAKER_01 16:32

It is. It's a fan favorite.

SPEAKER_04 16:34

Who's a fan favorite? It's a fan favorite.

SPEAKER_01 16:36

Of Applejacks? No. I was just saying for Captain Crunch, it's a fan favorite. Everybody loves Captain Crunch.

SPEAKER_04 16:41

Yeah, who doesn't love getting their mouth, the roof of their mouth tore up first thing in the morning?

SPEAKER_01 16:45

You can't even go with chocolate.

SPEAKER_04 16:48

I love Captain Crunch. I love Captain Crunch. How dare you?

SPEAKER_02 16:50

How are you going to disparage Captain Crunch but yet still vote for Captain Crunch?

SPEAKER_04 16:54

Because just like just like Eminem and Eight Mile, right, I'm going to come out and I'm going to start defeating myself. I'm going to say everything bad and I'm going to look at you and go, what else could you got? What else you got? If you got, tell the crowd, right? Because the only bad thing you could say about Captain Crunch, the only bad thing is that occasionally, when you get too excited from eating the Captain Crunch, because that's what happens.

SPEAKER_01 17:13

Actually, you don't wait long enough. You don't wait long enough, right? You just don't.

SPEAKER_04 17:17

You see what you got to do. You gotta pour it, and then you gotta put the milk in, right? And then you gotta and then you gotta stir it. But what happens is the Captain Crunch is so delicious that you are going to willingly take scratches on your mouth to get it in your mouth whole quicker. Like that says something about that cereal. You know? It says a lot about the integrity, taste, and deliciousness of a cereal. You're willing to physically hurt yourself to get it in your mouth. Bam, wonder. Winner. You know what? I can't even argue. Yeah, I can't even argue.

SPEAKER_02 17:48

That's not the first time you've hurt yourselves getting something in your mouth.

SPEAKER_01 17:52

Can't even argue on that. The last time I had apple jacks when I was probably seven years old.

SPEAKER_02 17:55

No one's eating apple jacks. No one's eating apple jacks.

SPEAKER_01 17:57

But I still love apple jacks.

SPEAKER_04 17:58

No one's apple jacks. Alright, here we go. Alright, so this is gonna be my favorite, right? Number seven, raisin brand versus ten Cheerios. I mean good, classic, healthy cereals. Love them both. I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm gonna let you guys decide here. God, I can't. Because I love both. I got it.

SPEAKER_01 18:14

I don't even know why we have this on the list.

SPEAKER_04 18:15

Sweet, sweet raisins with delicious fiber-loaded bran flakes or heart-healthy Cheerios. Who wants to eat raisins in the morning? I love raisin bran.

SPEAKER_02 18:24

It's like an oatmeal raisin cookie. It's so good. Or like raisinettes, like, oh, that's how I like my chocolate with raisins. Like, no one, no.

SPEAKER_04 18:31

Here's the thing that you also can't forget the cultural significance of Cheerios.

SPEAKER_02 18:39

I mean, technically the original cereal.

SPEAKER_04 18:43

No, but I'm talking about who how did you learn how to pee? Pissing out Cheerios. MMs.

SPEAKER_02 18:48

Pissing out you peed on MMs? No, every time you went to pee, you got an MM. That explains a lot.

SPEAKER_04 18:56

What the hell are y'all talking about? He said he said every time he peed, he got an MM when he was a kid at the telepathy trained up.

SPEAKER_01 19:03

Are you serious? Y'all gotta treat it like dogs?

SPEAKER_04 19:06

What? Whoa, what?

SPEAKER_01 19:07

Good treat?

SPEAKER_04 19:15

What? Is that a white thing? Is it a white thing?

SPEAKER_02 19:19

We never did that.

SPEAKER_01 19:20

Hold on.

SPEAKER_04 19:20

Can we get a second? Can we have a second opinion? Robert, I need a Robert.

SPEAKER_01 19:25

Hey, tap on tap on the county.

SPEAKER_04 19:28

We need a black black opinion. What's up?

SPEAKER_01 19:31

Well, half black.

SPEAKER_04 25:30

Trix is little balls, aren't they? Yeah, it's little balls.

SPEAKER_02 25:32

Now they are, yeah. Yeah. But the c I like the conspiracy theory that we can only see them as the puffballs because we're adults and tricks are for kids.

SPEAKER_04 25:40

Hold on. Weren't they weren't they little like the fruit? They were little pieces of fruit, right?

SPEAKER_02 25:45

SPEAKER_04 26:20

Now I'm finished.

SPEAKER_01 26:21

You want to look it up?

Yeah, we'll probably.

SPEAKER_01 26:51

SPEAKER_01 26:59

Yes, little puff puffs. That's what I'm saying. It went shapes. And it was delicious.

SPEAKER_02 27:03

When did they bring the shape?

SPEAKER_04 27:04

At the beginning of the 1990s, tricks shaped like berries, oranges, lemons, and watermelons were introduced. In 2006, the shapes were. So when we were kids.

SPEAKER_02 27:12

When we were kids, when trick is when tricks are for kids, they were the fruit.

SPEAKER_04 27:15

And then we got became adults, they went back to the Well, I don't think they did it just for millennials, but that's exactly what happened.

SPEAKER_01 27:20

I think they did, though.

SPEAKER_02 27:21

Well that's what happened, though.

SPEAKER_01 27:22

They did just for just for us.

SPEAKER_04 27:26

They might have done it just for us. But in the 90s, they went to the shapes and then in the 60s.

SPEAKER_02 27:29

I'm gonna say the most millennial thing ever and say that we are the greatest generation and uh most important.

SPEAKER_04 27:34

So yeah. You know what? I'm gonna But see, we're not basing this off of 90 cereal. It's not 90 cereal, it's cereal, period. Now they're still the puffs. Now they're back to the puffs. And to be honest, for me, they've lost a lot of appeal.

SPEAKER_01 27:47

They still taste the same though. So yeah, they still taste the same.

SPEAKER_04 27:50

And you're honestly gonna tell me Trix is better than fruitytubs. We're gonna go back to that question.

SPEAKER_01 27:53

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 27:54

I just want you to know. I will I really do honestly hope that next time you go out to eat. Eric, I'm talking explicitly to you right now. I honestly hope next time you go out to eat and you ask for a Coke, they say is Pepsi okay. I really do. I hope that happens to you the next actually not the next time, but the next three times you go out.

SPEAKER_02 28:18

You know, you think that'd happen a lot more here in North Carolina, but not even North Carolina wants Pepsi.

SPEAKER_04 28:23

No, no, no one likes Pepsi. No one really? Yeah, nobody really likes Pepsi and no Pepsi. You know, Bank of America? You know, Coke is now the official drink of of Bank of America Stadium. No, they got rid of it. Because no one wants Pepsi.

SPEAKER_04 28:51

Alright, here we go. Next. Alright, so this one.

There's gonna be there's gonna be some some really deep opinions about this. And I really feel like I'm I uh I feel like I definitely wasted my great argument on the next one last round. I should have saved it. It's gonna be number three Cinnamon Toast Crunch versus number 11 Captain Crunch.

SPEAKER_00 29:18

Cinnamon toast freaking crunch.

SPEAKER_04 29:20

Obviously, I'm gonna revert back to my original argument. Who is that Captain Crunch is so delicious? Nope. It is the only cereal that you will shove in your mouth and physically cause yourself pain to eat.

SPEAKER_02 29:34

But what cereal has more of a cultural revel revel uh revelence? Um relevance? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 29:41

I'm gonna say Captain Crunch. Nope, not a Captain Cut. It's the captain toast crunch. I got a question. Do me one favor. Who is the mascot for Cinnamon Toast Crush?

SPEAKER_02 29:54

The little cereal that has the mouth open. So the little cereal that has the mouth open. The mascot has little beady eyes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 30:00

SPEAKER_04 30:40

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Cinnamon belongs. A little bit of cinnamon belongs in apple pie. A little bit belongs in pumpkin pie or sweet potato pie, whatever your stance is on those two things. But outside of that, cinnamon is hot garbage, huh?

SPEAKER_01 30:55

Because your wife put you on pumpkin pie, right?

SPEAKER_04 30:57

Well, everyone everybody likes every all white people have pumpkin pie.

SPEAKER_02 31:03

But I also do love sweet potato pie, though. Oh, okay. I mean, who doesn't love pie? So we have to say my family is southern, so it's the same thing.

SPEAKER_04 31:09

Yeah, so the thing is, so my family's from out west. We don't have pumpkin, we don't have uh sweet potato pie, we have sweet potato casserole. What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? It's just sweet potatoes with with with brown sugar and sugar and like marshmallows mounted on top. It's just it's it's the same thing without the pie crust.

SPEAKER_02 31:25

It's not the same. No, it's not.

It's without the pie crust. First of all, we're not talking about guys, we're gonna we're not talking about that. You're right, you're right, you're right.

SPEAKER_01 31:32

Cinnamon doesn't belong in cinnamon doesn't belong in anything. It's sweeter as far as only a couple things. It's sweeter than Captain Crunch. Two, more delicious than Captain Crunch. Three, you're not drinking Captain Crunch milk. You're not drinking. Tell me the last time you drunk Captain Crunch milk. Stop playing with that. Every time that I've eaten. Every time I eat Captain Crunch. Every time I eat cereal, I just drink the milk.

SPEAKER_04 31:53

You drink the milk after Captain Crunch because it's it's just sweet. It's just a sweet, but without the gross cinnamon milk.

SPEAKER_01 31:57

You drank the milk from cinnamon toast crunch. Without the gross cinnamon. But it's so delicious.

SPEAKER_04 32:01

Without the gross cinnamon.

SPEAKER_02 32:02

See, but they sell the cinnamon toast, uh, cinnamon sugar. Cinnamon sugar because people are dumb and lazy. So I can that's dumb and lazy. I saw cinnamon toast, the crunch oatmeal, quicker oatmeal. That's disgusting. Uh that's just cinnamon. Don't just put cinnamon sugar in your oatmeal.

SPEAKER_04 32:16

Let's go ahead and put it like this. If you want to put it in the case, just because they have a great marketing team doesn't make it a better cereal.

SPEAKER_01 32:20

Could you agree that Ryan Reynolds Ryan Reynolds is a good man? Good looking dude? Yeah, Ryan Realms is good looking dude. He's he's on this pedestal, right? That is Captain Crunch. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Leonardo DiCaprio. Over Ryan Reynolds.

SPEAKER_04 32:36

SPEAKER_01 32:39

I didn't say better looking, he's just a better person. Better everything. What do you mean better everything? Better everything. Better everything. Better everything.

SPEAKER_04 32:44

Leonardo DiCaprio can't hang on to a girlfriend. He keeps he keeps he can't date a girl older 25. So what? Ryan Round is a dead person. That's his preference.

SPEAKER_01 32:51

Are you going against his preference?

SPEAKER_04 32:53

He's married to Blake Lively. Are you going against that man preference? I'm not going against the man's preference.

SPEAKER_02 33:00

He's like three years. Three years away of it being creepy.

SPEAKER_04 33:03

Yeah, that's a horrible analogy. It's already creepy. It's not a bit already creepy.

SPEAKER_01 33:10

It's definitely not creepy. Is this your way of it? No. That was creepy.

SPEAKER_04 33:18

No, that was creepy.

SPEAKER_01 33:19

Yes, y'all did. No, we did not. We loved Hugh Hefner.

SPEAKER_04 33:21

There was something wrong about that.

SPEAKER_01 33:22

You loved Hugh Hefner. I've seen the magazines in the road.

SPEAKER_04 33:26

Why are you gonna get real southern? Hugh Hefner. Hugh Hefner. He's not my friend. Hugh Hefner. You look up to that man. Come on, what's a classic guy? He only reads it from the article. Okay. Why do you disparage? Why do you disparage a great American like Hugh Hefner?

SPEAKER_01 33:49

Okay. I change later now to Cabriot. Tom Hanks is Cinematose Crunch.

SPEAKER_04 33:54

I'll go with that one. As actors, Cop, you know I love Tom Czas. America's Dad, yeah. Because everyone loves Tom Hanks. Cinematoast Crunch? America's Dad? Yeah, let's go. Again, though, I'm gonna I I'm gonna I'm gonna concede, but I'm conceding in protest.

SPEAKER_01 34:07

I'm glad you're conceding. I'm gonna. I'm glad I got your permission. Captain Crunch is the best crunch.

SPEAKER_00 34:14

You just had to throw that in. I didn't have those in.

SPEAKER_04 34:16

Alright, number seven, Raisin Brand versus number two Frosted Flakes. Frosted Flakes. Frosted Flakes. Okay, well that was that was, you know, Frosted Flakes has had a really good, easy run to the final four. Tony the Tiger. Tony the Tiger. It's Tony the Tiger.

SPEAKER_02 34:27

And honestly, too, it's It's got a great theme song, too.

SPEAKER_04 34:31

Frosted Flakes on the French.

SPEAKER_01 34:34

Oh, this is about to be this is about to be easy. I don't even think we need to argue.

SPEAKER_04 34:39

What do you mean we don't need to argue? Alright, number here we go. For the semifinals? The final four.

SPEAKER_01 34:44

The semifinals? Final four.

SPEAKER_04 34:46

We got Reese's Plus versus Trix and Cinnamon Toast Crunch versus Frosted Flakes. I just want to point out though, that number 12 came in as a the Trix came in as a 12 seed, and Reese's Plus came in at 8 seed. So we got major upsets on the top bracket. The bottom bracket, though, number 3 came in as a three uh Cinnamon Toast Crunch came in as a three seed, and Frosted Flakes came in at 2 seed. So no surprises out of the bottom.

SPEAKER_01 35:07

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_04 35:08

Absolutely no surprises coming out of the bottom. But the top bracket's definitely the uh definitely gonna be the upsetter here. Now we got Reese's Puffs coming at eight. Trix coming at twelve. I didn't want any other of these in here. I had preferences, to be honest.

SPEAKER_01 35:24

But I'm I'm I'm gonna say Trix.

SPEAKER_04 35:27

I'm gonna I'm gonna argue, I'm gonna honestly say tricks coming in here.

SPEAKER_01 35:29

Because you're a fruity guy.

SPEAKER_04 35:30

It's because I don't like I do not like chocolate. You're a fruity guy, bro. I do not like chocolate shit.

SPEAKER_01 35:34

You're a fruity guy. There's no judgment here, but you definitely are a fruity guy.

SPEAKER_02 35:39

I mean, I'm not gonna lie, these are two great cereals. They are good cereals. I'm I have no. But if I'm going off personal preference, there's definitely gonna be Reese Puffs.

SPEAKER_01 35:49

If I'm going off God's favorite cereal, Reese Puffs.

SPEAKER_04 35:54

Reese puffs. No. Why is it God's favorite cereal? Because of the chocolate peanut butter.

SPEAKER_01 35:57

Chocolate peanut butter. Chocolate and peanut butter. Everybody loves chocolate and peanut butter.

SPEAKER_04 36:02

Everybody loves chocolate and peanut butter.

SPEAKER_01 36:03

I mean, it's a it's a it's a given.

SPEAKER_04 36:05

Alright, here we go. Number three, Cinematose Crunch versus two Frosted Flakes. Now I will say, we just, before we get in on this too much, we just unanimously agreed Tony Tiger is the best mascot. That has to come for something. I thought we did. It is the best mascot. This is why I said on top of that, there's no argument.

SPEAKER_01 36:24

There's no argument. There's no argument, bro. I just cannot argue that. I'm choosing Frosted Flakes every time.

SPEAKER_04 36:30

Over Cap over Cinnamon Toast Crush?

SPEAKER_01 36:32

Yes, a classic.

SPEAKER_04 36:34

That's a really turn of events.

SPEAKER_01 36:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 36:36

Oh wow, I really don't know.

SPEAKER_01 36:38

I really am. That's a go-to.

SPEAKER_04 36:39

I really thought you were going to stick with cinnamon. No, frosted flakes is the superior cereal.

SPEAKER_01 36:43

It's a go-to.

SPEAKER_04 36:44

It's a go-to. It is the cultural significance of the frosted flakes mixing with a nice glazed sugar, and it's got a great better mascot.

SPEAKER_01 36:54

I'm seriously still adding sugar into my frosted flakes.

SPEAKER_04 36:59

But it's it is the best cereal. Okay. Bam. That was really easy. Honestly, so here we go. Here we go. Arguably now, we've got number eight Reese's Puss versus number two Frosted Flakes. I think it's a good one. I think I made it well documented of what I'm gonna say here. I think uh my vote stands where it stands. Um the only one who has been the only person whose opinion has swapped back and forth, who is honestly, quite honestly, the only person at this table who has carried both of these all the way. All the way. He's carried both of these as pick is Wood.

SPEAKER_00 37:40

I have.

SPEAKER_04 37:41

And you know who was who did Frosted Flakes face off of first? A special K. Honestly, they had an easy run of Captain Crunch. They had an easy run until Cinema Toast Crunch. Frosted Flakes had an easy run to Captain Cr to Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

SPEAKER_02 37:54

So And it was already two to one, so there was no point of arguing.

SPEAKER_04 37:57

There's really no point arguing. I think you're you're gonna vote for Reese's Puffs. I'm gonna vote for Reese's Puffs. I'm I'm uh my as much as again, love think chocolate pretty much great, my documented hatred for chocolate and cinnamon or chocolate first thing in the morning is uh documented. I think Frosted Flakes is pure zero.

SPEAKER_02 38:18

But he just said that he has to add sugar to Frosted Flakes.

SPEAKER_01 38:21

I still do, I do.

SPEAKER_03 38:23

But are you adding a add sugar to Rice Reese's Pose? No. You don't add sugar to it.

SPEAKER_02 38:28

So Reezy Pose is perfect as the way it is. Yes. At Frosted Flakes, you still gotta add something to that. I still add sugar.

SPEAKER_04 38:34

Who has a better mascot?

SPEAKER_01 38:36

I still add sugar. Who's more culture with the biggest? But hold on, but hold on, hold on. It's like when you have these two amazing serials, seriously. It's like me watching Game of Thrones and choosing to watch Walking Dead, literally. Or I wanna watch I don't know if those are good examples because they're not.

SPEAKER_02 38:56

They both finished they're both they're both fantastic shows, though.

SPEAKER_01 38:59

They fantastic shows.

SPEAKER_02 39:00

They both started off strong. It starts off strong with kind of peter off there.

SPEAKER_01 39:04

If you really want to go there, most most seasons on any episodes or any any show ends off bad.

SPEAKER_04 39:11

Yeah, there's not many people aren't happy the way shows end.

SPEAKER_01 39:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 39:14

So I think there aren't a lot of shows. The office ended good. I like the office.

SPEAKER_01 39:18

Parks and you know what?

SPEAKER_04 39:20

A lot of dramas don't end up.

SPEAKER_01 39:21

Matter of fact, let's do it like that too.

SPEAKER_04 39:23

The office it had a down period, but it did finish strong. What Dexter? No one liked Dexter's ending, right? People were mad at Dexter? No, I actually like Dexter. I never saw Dexter. I actually like Dexter. Breaking Bad Breaking Bad had a Breaking Bad was good. Everyone loved Breaking Bad's ending. Breaking Bad was good.

SPEAKER_01 39:36

But look, so when you when you're balancing those two, it's like I don't know which one to go with, but at the same time, I'm gonna still go with God's favorite.

unknown 39:45

Chocolate peanut butter.

SPEAKER_01 39:46

Chocolate peanut butter.

SPEAKER_02 39:47

I got a question before we continue. Is there room to continue? Because this is the final thing. No, I I think I have a 31.

SPEAKER_04 39:53

I think I have a final thing to say about this, and I think you guys should listen. Frosted Flakes. Right, and I think I'm gonna get you on why I believe that Frosted Flakes is a spirit zero. Okay. When we were children, right? Our parents didn't buy you, buy us Reese's Puss, right?

SPEAKER_01 40:13

They should.

SPEAKER_04 40:16

They didn't buy us. Why do they not buy us? Because they didn't want us to have chocolate and peanut butter first thing in the morning, right? Or at least chocolate first thing in the morning. And to be honest, I don't even think it came out when we were young children, right? But you know what our parents did buy us? You know what our first our first or second sweet cereal was? Right? It was Frosted Flakes. Right? And just like and just like people who get too good for Taco Bell and go eat a Chipotle and say, I don't need a Taco Bell, Taco Bell was there for you, right? You know what else was always there for us? Frosted flakes. Okay?

SPEAKER_02 40:46

The diarrhea run too was there for us too. Listen, that's not the point.

SPEAKER_04 40:49

Listen, listen, that's another point. You're getting off topic, right? Frosted flakes, I'm going off topic. Hey, but he he got in the city. Frosted flakes was there for us when we were down, right? We were kids, and we wanted something sweet for breakfast, but we didn't because why? Because it was a choice of corn flakes or frosted flakes, and guess what we did, right? You just had to put a little sugar in it to make it a little sweeter, right? So you can get that little sugar rush in the morning. Me personally, I didn't do that. But here comes Frosted Flakes with their perfectly glazed sugar. One, how do they do that? How do they get that crispy cream-like glaze over each corn over each cornflake? That good coating of sugar, right? On top of having a great mascot. And my I add you, right? Those little boxes, you know, those little bot, those little to-go boxes of uh cereals, right? You know what I'm talking about? The little little travel boxes of cereal that came out when we were kids, right? And we had ate them everywhere, they're at schools. You cannot lie, you cannot sit here and tell me that it was not the best cereal eaten dry. It was like popping little, it was popping little cereal chips first thing in the morning.

SPEAKER_01 41:49

I see where you're going here. You're going with nostalgia. I'm not even going with nostalgia.

SPEAKER_04 41:53

I'm talking about dry, it's good. Wet, it's good. It's a great mascot, it's greatly sugar coated, and to be honest, if we're talking about best cereals, and to have frosted fakes lose to a cereal that is a newcomer, that our parents didn't buy us when we were younger, right? And that lacks a mascot to even compete with Tony the Tiger is a travesty. It's we are doing a disservice to our listeners, to ourselves, to the podcast. And I honestly think this is gonna be my last thing I'm gonna say. Then I honestly think one of you should reconsider your vote before a game winner.

SPEAKER_01 42:32

I'm gonna say this one thing. Just this just this one thing. Just this one thing.

SPEAKER_02 42:36

I mean, Reese Post got they were there in 1994. 1994? We were already in school. I don't know if they can count that as a newcomer. But let's go on, let's put it like this.

SPEAKER_01 42:47

Let's put it in the case.

SPEAKER_02 42:47

We're going on almost 30 years old.

SPEAKER_01 42:49

Him? Almost. He's arguing for the people that's 40 and plus.

SPEAKER_04 42:54

I'm arguing for everybody.

SPEAKER_01 42:55

40 and plus.

SPEAKER_04 42:56

I'm arguing for everybody.

SPEAKER_01 42:57

40 and plus. Because times were a lot tougher then.

SPEAKER_02 43:01

I think uh frosted flakes were uh cheaper cheaper?

SPEAKER_01 43:04

Cheaper, yep. Better? Cheaper? Definitely cheaper.

SPEAKER_04 43:07

I already made my case. I already made my case. The simple question is will one of you reconsider your vote for both the perfectly glazed cornflake that is a little bit. Because I mean it's perfect. It's that glazed.

SPEAKER_01 43:21

It's aesthetically pleasing as well. I don't want to say glaze, I say coated. Very coated. Evenly coated, beautiful sugar.

SPEAKER_04 43:28

Okay, you can say what you want. It's like a jelly donut. It reminds me of a donut, how perfectly coated it is, right? Beautiful, beautiful coating, great mascot, perfect, dry, and wet. It is the perfect cereal.

SPEAKER_01 43:42

With this rebuttal that I have, it's like when you look at Reese Puss, right? When you eat a Reese cup, you eat it together. You just ain't gonna lick the chocolate and then eat the peanut butter. You ain't gonna do that. But with the Reese cup, Then once you add it in later on, once that one flavor just went down so smoothly, it's like that mixture of like chocolate and peanut butter and everything else. So when when you actually have that in your mouth, those mistakes it's not even it's not even mysterious, it's delicious. Delicious. Rolling around on the tongue.

SPEAKER_04 44:33

You're not you're literally just saying the same thing over and over again.

SPEAKER_01 44:35

Rolling around on the tongue.

SPEAKER_02 44:36

I mean, you pretty much, you pretty much just went on a five-minute rant saying the same as I think. I did not. It's the perfect cereal. I gave the permit serious.

SPEAKER_04 44:44

I gave you three solid points. I said it is perfect, both wet and dry. I said they have a fantastic mascot. And I also said that the coating that the Frosted Flakes has is aesthetically pleasing. It is an aesthetically pleasing, marketable core uh cereal. It's got a great mascot. It's perfect both dry and wet. And if if I may add, a fourth point that I didn't clearly make, but I was trying to make, it is the perfect nostalgia cereal. Case closed. If Frosted Flakes don't win, it's a travesty. Now, right now.

SPEAKER_02 45:10

Steve, but when your parents bought you the Reese Puffs that one time, how great did you feel? Right? And when they kept when they kept buying you, and when they kept buying you Frosted Flakes, you're like, man, Frosted Flakes again?

SPEAKER_04 45:21

So here's the thing I grew up poor, I did not have name brand cereals. Okay, so any name brand cereals. So how would you know about Frosted Flakes? Well, any name brand cereal was a perfect was a perfect day for me because I ate a lot of them on the travel to go once at school. What are we talking about? I mean, obviously I would be better, I would be more well versed if we were talking about great value cereals, but we're not. Because no one wants to listen to great value cereals.

SPEAKER_00 45:45

I had the uh coated flakes.

SPEAKER_04 45:48

The foo lion? The fool line and the great value, yeah. Actually, my cousins had the great value. We had the full line. Sugar-coated flakes. Yeah, sugar-coated flakes, yeah. Sugar-coated flakes. With the anorexic tiger. Anorexic lion. It had a lion, I think.

SPEAKER_02 46:00

Anemic.

SPEAKER_04 46:01

Yeah, the anemic. There we go. The anemic lion.

SPEAKER_01 46:04

I had the coat Dracula. Coco Dracula.

SPEAKER_05 46:10

Alright.

SPEAKER_01 46:11

So I was going to go Reese Puffs. We're going Reese's Puffs. Hey, hey. Alright, this was not Jad.

SPEAKER_04 46:19

Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen. Um, against my deepest, deepest uh with my deepest, deepest regrets. Unfortunately, we have proclaimed Reese's Puffs as a superior, as the superior the superior. Oh, look at that. I just made up a new title. The superior serial.

SPEAKER_00 46:41

Congratulations.

SPEAKER_04 46:42
