K Sera believes that hot breakfasts are superior to cold breakfast. Micah doesn't believe in breakfasts. Phil is angry about the pyramids.
Important note: This episode was recorded in the Spring of 2021 during the pandemic lock downs in the Midwest. We were all still trying to get vaccinated (not the boosters, but the main vaccine), so our snarky attitude about having yet another recording session over the phone was present in this episode. As this episode was published almost an entire year later, I would like to add that even today (as the date of publishing) we still do not have vaccines for children younger than five.

K Sera’s after thoughts:
- I have yet to make these guys avocado toast. Uhh… oops?
- My breakfast today was sourdough toast and coffee
- Lunch/dinner today was a very unhealthy box of macaroni and cheese
- My philosophy is still: all things in moderation - not that I always live by that (see above terrible life choices). I still despise fad diets.
- I disagree about the effects of the "juice cleanses" that Micah mentions. I don’t think it will actually do what he said it does. Lots of doubt from this side. And I disagree a tiny bit with the logic Micah spouts about fat deposits in the body adapting to your choice and level of activity. It does do that, but, your body is also genetically predisposed to store fat in certain areas. Hormones affect where and how much fat is stored, too. There are a few more factors to consider than simply how long you are sitting still in a given day versus how much you are eating and what muscles you are using.
- We may never know what Phil’s mom made him for breakfast.
Phil’s after thoughts:
- Pardon me for the audio quality for this episode, it was all done by me! The editor is taking a much needed rest and I can totally understand why. Anyway, I promise I’ll get better at this.
-I really enjoy eating at breakfast places early in the morning! It’s one of my great joys in life; to eat a hot meal while the sun is barely rising and a waiter/waitress fills your cup with piping hot coffee. It makes me smile just thinking about it.
-My mom used to make me delicious omelets for breakfast! She also used to make me pancakes with smiley faces on them (from the maple syrup), toast with jam, a breakfast sandwich (English muffin), scrambled eggs, sausages, and more! The morning of my wedding day I went to my parents ridiculously early (logistics with my extended family/friends flying over from the states and from all over the world) and my parents place was much bigger than my small dwelling I shared with the editor. Anyway, it was super early and my mom was already up making breakfast for like 20 people and she made me a pancake with a smile face on it. I told my mom “Mom! I’m a grown-up man!” referring to my pancakes and she laughed saying “you’re still a child to me.” So, long story short: Thanks mom.
