At Big Ma'am twelve Stevin Nate Smith, I'm in a heated debate about greatest cereal.

Of all time.

I personally think it's cinnamon toast crunch because it brings an elite level of crunch, not too sugary, not too bland. Damn they're perfect. Well damn it. If it's cereal, why not be sugary. You know you're talking to wrong.

Brother. You know I'm gonna tell you crunch berries. You know that's what I'm gonna tell you, right, sugar corn pops too. Can't sleep on that now.

You and I gotta tell y'all something I gott tell yourself.

This is very very important. I bring this up. You know what cereal?

I don't like cereals that get soggy too quick. When the cereals crunchy, I know that you pour some milk on it, it's gonna get a little soggy. But some get soggier quicker than others, and some are more soggier than others.

I don't like that, except with Captain crunchberries. That's why I love Captain.

Crunch and Captain crunchberries more than all of them, because even when it gets a little soggy's delicious.

It's delicious. It's it's delicious. Now, the sugar corn pots you gotta eat quickly. You have a sense of honey Comb's tae. You gotta eat quicker. You can't eat it.

You can't pour the milk into it and then wait ten minutes to start.

Can't even wait five minutes, damn it, barely a minute. You got to get right up in there and get it when.

It's a little crunchy, so you can feel a few The true flavor of the cereal fruit loops ain't bad either, all right, But if you gonna have a cereal, you're gonna spend some time eating cereal unless you trying to eat wheaties or something real, real, healthy.

Any sugary cereal that you eat, it might as well have a lot of sugar. Your cheating. Anyway, you gonna do it, do it right.

Answer to this question is Captain crunch batteries second on the list. Sugar corn pops fruit loops ain't fall behind. I would say tricks, but tricks truly off of kids. Okay, it truly is. Anyway, get to the next tweet, Please let me get it at more thirty three gamings, right, Steven A.

Smith?

Is it too early for Christmas decorations to be in stores? You know, normally I would say yeah, but toobia is approaching. It's just there's a way. Not only that, shopping has become too much of a headache.

People don't know how to act. You don't know how people are in stores.

You're saying stuff is on the shelves one minute, the next minute is gone.

Get what you can when you can get it.

If you can buy Christmas decorations now, so you don't have to shop in December when the stores are crowded, do that.

Do that. So I would say it's not too early.

Once upon a time it was, but times have changed, so I'm gonna say that's no longer the case.

Let's get to the next tweet. Please let me get to me. This is the last one at red Lee. What is it?

Lee eight in whatever lying or whatever lining l I the number eight N I N G Right.

Stephen A. Smith. If you could only eat from.

Only two fast food chains for the rest of your life, which ones are you choosing? Very interesting? You bring that up, because, believe it or not, I had this dilemma the other day not proud of myself. I think I'm looking good, I'm in better shape, I'm feeling healthy. I've sort of refrained from most of these foods, but dammit, my taste budds have a memory, and when stuff tastes good, I don't forget. Now, I would tell you this is a very very very tough question.

Now here's what we're gonna x out.

We gonna x out Taco Bell, we gonna x out Subway, we gonna x out Domino's Pizza. Even though my friends used to teach me, they said, I used.

To look like annoyed.

Remember the annoyed The character for the Domino's Pizza is annoyed. My boy mark her and be like, no, duh, yes, my man Mark Turner used to call me that, right, still does to some degree.

Starbucks, I got that, But that's.

Really for the call fee and the blueberry muffins, not really.

Much else for me.

Okay, So it comes down to the Big Four for me, Giboto, I mean, that's not me.

That's just not my style. Not knocking any of these for other people. That just ain't my style.

And this wild tick tacte, this will bam be out right there Bam All Three, Taco Bell, Domino's Pizza, of course, Someway. I told you Starbucks will going there. It would come down to this four. It would be Burger King, it would be McDonald's, it would be Chick fil A, and it would be KFC. Now here's where it gets tough. KFC and their original wings are delicious.

I have to confess.

I have to confess the issue though, is it's not as healthy as Chick fil A, and Chick fil A's nuggets with the.

Honey mustard is dead. It's close enough, right. Here's why I would give Chick fil A the edge.

Over Cotake, because you gotta have something with chicken in there. I would take Chick fil A over Kentucky Fried Chicken because the only thing I want from them is the original wings.

Here. It could be the chicken, it could be the chicken.

Nuggets, but the fries that come with the nuggets, the waffle fries.

I gotta give Chick fil A the edge over that. So I got to give it.

I never thought I'd picked some chicken over KFC, but it's true.

I gotta go with the Chick fil A.

Nuggets with the honey mustard Okay, now we get to the burgers. You got McDonald's, you got Burger King, ladies and gentlemen. Is another tough one, but I'd have to go with Mickey D's.

Here's why.

The cheeseburger, the double cheeseburger, to wop all that stuff that's Burger King, right, I personally think Burger King's fries.

Are awful, awful. McDonald's fries are the best in the business. I mean, they're fries between them in Chick fil A. The fries.

There's a couple of ladies in the studio about to talk with me for a few minutes.

They nod in their head. They agree with me. They know I know what I'm talking about. They know I know what I'm talking about. All right, So you got the fries right.

Here, right, But can we definitively say that anything is better than the Big Mac as a burger.

I don't know if we can. Don't ask to kill O'Neil.

He ate them for breakfast, don't I ask him to? He knows Big Mac is the joint, all right. So you got the Big Mac, you understand, you got the chicken sandwiches. You've got they're double burgers. They're single burghers, they're quarter pounders with cheese.

But the real thing is their.

Fries are significantly better than burger Kings. So I would tell you in the order, it would be McDonald's Chick fil A, KFC Burger King top four for me. But to pick one the top two, it would be McDonald's in Chick fil A because of the fries and the range that they have in other categories.

That's just the truth.

Gotta get on out of here, ladies and gentlemen. I'm glad y'all join me. I hope y'all enjoyed the show. That's it for the for this edition of The Stephen Nate Smith Show. I'll be back with you in a couple of days. Until next time, everybody, Peace of love.
