Day. They discuss LeBron James' odd decision to take a helicopter to games and practice for his new team in Philadelphia, but that's really not the oddest way a celebrity could travel to work, since Lewis Hamilton, Troye Sivan, and Tate McRae could be commuting by spaceship in the near future (or maybe not, but imagine what that pairing would be like!). Also, surprisingly, the classic Blue and Black / White and Gold dress debate from 12 years ago is far from settled, at least in the Cereal Box!

Sam and Ella kick off with a pop culture update covering Miley Cyrus's rumoured Super Bowl halftime performance and Cats the Musical opening on Broadway on this day in 1982. Midweek confessions get personal. Ella couldn't decide whether to call out to a tram stop to warn people a tram wasn't coming, and Sam got friend zoned in the most classic way possible. Bathtub Day raises the question nobody knew they needed answered. Is it acceptable to eat snacks in the bath? Kate Duncan from The Push joins the show to talk about everything Push Over Festival has in store before Sean from Melbourne Fringe show Dune But Worse drops in with some very interesting costumes and an even more interesting premise. Banana Day, an Australian initiative where bringing a banana to the gym gets you in for free, sparks a conversation about the weirdest ways people have ever paid for something before the show closes on the Melbourne Marathon and Sam's perhaps slightly optimistic assessment of his own running ability.

Matilda, Natalie, Liliana and Harper are in the Cereal Box this Tuesday, with plenty to chat about! The crew kicked things off with a pop culture recap before turning their attention to World Space Week. Inspired by Pikachu’s trip to space, they imagined spending 6 months in space themselves and chose which fictional character they’d want to bring along. Some went for the most practical companions... while others just wanted someone entertaining to have around. For Tit for Tat Tuesday, Liliana chose a question from one of Terry Denton’s books: would you rather be eaten by ants or lions? The crew had a VERY clear answer to this one! The gang also put different movie genres in a knockout game, eventually deciding which genre they’d be willing to live in for an entire year. Later, they welcomed Madi from BATYR to chat about the organisation—and, of course, her go-to breakfast, which sounded so good that the crew might just have to recreate it next week! Finally, they wrapped up the show with some of today’s…

It’s National Actors Day, and while it’s time to celebrate the people who work in the movie industry… are audiences really showing them the respect they deserve? For this week’s Tit for Tat Tuesday, the Tuesday crew, M&M, took a look at some of the most annoying things people do at the cinema. From talking and sleeping during a movie to asking about the plot every five minutes, the crew discussed which behaviours they absolutely can’t stand—and, even worse, whether they’ve ever been guilty of doing them themselves… Tune in to see if you’ve experienced any of these annoying cinema behaviours too! Presenters: Matilda Prelec, Natalie Hung, Maddy Halford Executive Producers: Ella Le Fournour, Sam Kelly We're live weekdays on SYN from 7:30am 📻 Stay in the loop @GetCerealSYN Email us via getcereal@syn.org.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We know their songs, we know their stage names… but do we actually know their REAL names? Plenty of famous musicians are known by names completely different from the ones they were born with, so Matilda put Natalie and Maddy to the test with a real-name guessing game. From Stefani to Calvin, they had to figure out which famous musician each name belonged to—and some of the answers were definitely not what they expected! Would you still recognise your favourite artist by their real name? Tune in and play along to see how many you can get right!

Today, joining the Cereal Box is the dream team Matilda, Natalie and Maddy for another absolutely stacked show! We kick things off, as per usual, with a pop culture recap, and trust us, the internet has certainly been busy over the past fortnight especially with some exciting news for all you bookworms out there. We also take a look at some of the upcoming national days, learning a few new things along the way and, of course, sparking a little bit of controversy. With movie season in full swing, our Tit for Tat debate gets heated as we discuss the annoying movie behaviours that really grind our gears and which ones we might secretly be guilty of ourselves. Award season upon us, so we put our music knowledge to the test by seeing if we can match celebrity stage names to their real names. Needless to say, some of us were definitely humbled. Finally, with spooky season just around the corner, we dive into the weird and wacky world of irrational fears, discussing the silly things that give us the heebie-jeebies.…

The environmental mission delivered mixed results. Sam's garden clean up did not happen. Hannah managed to drive a little less and Makenzie minimised her food waste. To make up for it the group sets a pre-break challenge that raises the stakes considerably. Everyone has to cook something and bring it in to impress the others. No details shared. May the best dish win.

Melbourne choreographer, producer and director Bec Reid joins Sam, Hannah and Makenzie fresh off the Melbourne Cheer Challenge at Fed Square to talk about what it actually looked like when over 1000 people with wildly different experience levels all came together, how you even begin to choreograph something at that scale, and whether Melbourne is finally ready to embrace cheerleading culture.

In honour of the new Anthony Bourdain biopic, which recently hit Australia cinemas, we watched another movie celebrating an iconic chef: Ratatouille. Sam, Hannah and Makenzie discussed Remy's conflict between human and rat identities, and gave some mouth watering breakfast ratings fit for a French restaurant. Even Anton Ego would have been impressed.

Sam, Hannah and Makenzie kick off with a pop culture update covering Coachella rumours and Chicken Shop Date ending before debating which Gen Z interview format they'd actually want to be part of. Hot Ones, Royal Court or Chicken Shop Date, who survives what? Movie Monday heads to Ratatouille following the release of Tony, a new film covering part of Anthony Bourdain's life, and the trio blind rank some iconic fictional childhood characters including Garfield and Donkey from Shrek. Melbourne choreographer, producer and director Bec Reid joins the show to talk about the Melbourne Cheer Challenge and the NFL coming to Melbourne. Mission Monday wraps up last week's goals before setting a big pre-break challenge. Everyone has to cook something and bring it in.

10 years on, Connor and Amelia reflect on the iconic year of 2016 and flash back to some of the top hits the year brought us. Talking about iconic, they get excited for Trisha Paytas’ tour coming to Australia, and put out feelers for the new Raygun documentary. New choice! A chaotic game ensues and a horse enters the cereal box… but he’s invisible…or a hip hoove DJ? To wrap things up, there is discussion of a royal necklace robbery, the newly launched NASA space telescope and the latest toothbrush tech.

To celebrate Zendaya's 30th birthday on the 1st of September (as the Thursday show is Get Cereal's resident Zendaya's Big Hat conspiracy theorists), Connor and Ella are having a very hat-themed show! Not only do they take a quiz to see which hat they are based on their personalities and blind rank a variety of strange hats, but Ella brings in a bowler hat of her own (although it's not as big as Zendaya's) and fears it might even be haunting her?? The team also discuss recent pop culture news (including the official beginning of the late 2020s), their favourite needle drops in movies and TV shows, and the thin line between a "short" and "long" drive. To cap it off, Connor brings in the third edition of his Sports Radio Announcing game and gets Ella to test her play-by-play chops on a sport that might (???) be AFL!
