This Episode is NOT About Honey Nut Cheerios

This Episode is NOT About Honey Nut Cheerios

Collin and Jordan gather once again to sit and talk whilst sharing an array of cereals. They talk about a couple of things- however, none of them are Honey Nut Cheerios. Instead, you'll hear chat over Honey Smacks, Dunkin, Dunkin Donuts, Honey Nut Frosted Flakes, Lucky Charms Honey Clovers, terrible McDonald's creations, and more.

This episode is definitely, for sure, most definitely sponsored by Ghostbuster's Afterlife promotional cereal and Mr. General Mills.
