Matt's Freshness Alert: Vintage Fightin' Phils Sweatshirt

Check out this ill old-school Phils crew neck. Yep, that's the classic maroon and throwback 'P' logo that yours truly, and all his fellow 80's babies, grew up absolutely lovin. For best results, I recommend growing an equally-80's Magnum PI-style 'stache to rock with it. Available at UrbanOutfitters.com

Futurama: New Rolls Looks Crazy Nice; Has Dope Name.

The new Rolls Royce concept dubbed the RR4 (aka 200EX) may in fact be renamed by the time it hits our shores sometime in 2011, resurrecting the legendary 'Silver Ghost' nameplate. I'm a fan, albeit not a potential customer (unless I hit a Super 7 jackpot or something).

White Trash Matt's Freshness Alert: Air Jordan V Raging Bull Pack

The Raging Bull Pack will consist of two pairs of all-new Air Jordan V renditions, including a Red Nubuck colorway (pictured below) and a contrasting Charcoal and Black colorway (the real draw here for me, personally). The expected release date is May 31 with a price point around $310.00. Props to marqueesole.com for the pics.

White Trash Matt's Freshness Alert: Nike Air Royal High

Nike's new Air Royal High is the perfect sneaker for guys who love sneakers- but hate shoes. Every now and again you're bound to need something a little cleaner and classier than some Fire Red Jordans or Neon Green Dunks to hit the town in and the Air Royal High is the kick that can fill that dressy hole in your lineup, without forcing your to rock some mad uncomfortable shoes. A high-top upper means you can go boot-cut or slouch-fit with your denims and two classic colors-black and coffee-mean you've got the flexibility to rock them with damn near any other color, shirt- or hat-wise.

Keepin' It Gangsta: 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Armored Edition

Attention thugs, rappers and trapstars alike- Mercedes-Benz is coming out with an armored version of its all-new 2010 E-Class, able to withstand fire from weapons up to a .44 Magnum, and with optional underbody armor, hand grenade blasts as well. The E-Guard, which will be available when the sleek new 2010 E-Class goes on sale this summer, receives reinforced "protective elements" around the body consisting of high-strength steel and aramide components, aided by resistant polycarbonate glazing; basically, high-tek gangster goodness that will keep you thuggin' no matter now deep the beef gets. Word, son.

White Trash Matt's Freshness Alert: Nike Air Jordan 1 Premier

White Trash Matt's Freshness Alert: Nike Air Penny 1/2 Cent

Wow, what a hybrid we have here. The Nike Air 1/2 Cent is a mixture of all five sneakers worn by Anfernee 'Penny' Hardaway, which include the Air Penny I, Air Penny II, Air Penny III, Air Penny IV and the Air Foamposite. Nike pays tribute to Penny's late-90's TV Ad buddy, Lil' Penny, by naming the shoes 1/2 Cent (1/2 is Lil' Penny's jersey number), and featuring his face on the heel of the shoe as well.

Frivolous Christmas Wish List Item #5: Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S

What would any guy's dream Christmas list be without a high-end automobile on there somewhere? My flavor of the season? How about a 433hp Maserati sedan with all the trimmings. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure hitting the triple digits in ANY exotic 2-door sports coupe is pry all kinds of fun for both driver and passenger (singular)...but doing it 5-deep in a luxury Italian sports sedan with a trunk full of groceries is just plain infinitely cooler, in my humble opinion. The price tag for Frivolous Christmas Wish List Item #5...$125,000.00 plus. Check it out here.

Frivolous Christmas Wish List Item #4: Mark I King Tiger Radio Controlled Tank

Time to unleash my inner dictatorial tendencies with this 1/4th scale King Tiger Tank from Mark I Tanks of the UK. The replica World War II tank is fully detailed and remotely-operated. Working treads and a pivoting turret simulate the real thing, even the 2-foot gun has a real recoil action (though no destructive power...boo). Drive power is provided by two 500-watt, 24-volt motors that are reportedly capable of towing a car, which is great for clearing front-row parking here at the station). Internal speakers simulate the rolling thunder that scared the bejesus of the Allied Forces and complement the overall badass look of this 6-foot, 600 lb beast. The price tag for Frivolous Christmas Wish List Item #4...$10,220.00. Check it out here.

Frivolous Christmas Wish List Item #3: Swarovski Crystal Personalized Moet Champagne

Champagne is the whiskey of rich people. Swarovski Crystals are the glittery myspace layout code of rich people. If you're NOT a rich person and you put the two together, you've got yourself one helluva frivolous Christmas gift. The price tag for Frivolous Christmas Wish List Item #3...$90.00 and up. Check it out here.

Frivolous Christmas Wish List Item #2: Revolver Shot Dispenser

This piece of work satisfies your thirst for your favorite booze and your itching "I live in Philly" trigger finger. Just pump the holster, aim your gun, pull the trigger, and watch your drink flow merrily at one end. The nice, polished six-shooter looks perfect for reliving your every cowboy fantasy...assuming you're either gay or twelve years old. Showcase both your vintage liquor and your sharp-shooting skills and you'll instantly become the baddest mo-fo in the party, or the absolute lamest; it's really a matter of taste. Not a fan of liquor or guns? It's all good, I'm sure Santa's got plenty of Cosmo subscriptions left to give out. The price tag for Frivolous Christmas Wish List Item #2...$22.00. Check it out here.

Frivolous Christmas Wish List Item #1: Gas-Powered Snowboard

Yes, gas is expensive. No, I don't like the cold, snow or even the activity of snowboarding. But you know what I do like? Adding gasoline-powered motors to situations in which they are TOTALLY uncalled for. Call me crazy, but going down a hill on ANYTHING propelled by an internal-combustion engine just sounds like a plain old helluva good time to yours truly. The price tag for Frivolous Christmas Wish List Item #1...$2,000. Check it out here.

White Trash Matt's Freshness Alert: UPDATE- Nike Air Yeezy Is Coming

Way back in July I blogged about the custom Nike Air Yeezy sneakers that Kanye West had seen rocking on his 'Glow in the Dark' Tour stage. At the time Nike was rather hush hush about whether or not the kicks would ever see the light of day as a production model. Well, finally, word comes from Mr. West himself (via his blog) that the Air Yeezy will be released in March. No word yet on colorways or pricing, however. Stay tuned.

Congratulations, You Just Got Owned: Poor Parkers

Sarcasm, they say, is the lowest form of wit, but in some situations it's the only thing that will do. Take a poor parking job, for example. We've all been there, we've all seen it, and we've all had the same thoughts. And since anything and everything can be merchandised these days (including our thoughts) it was only a matter of time before someone brought something like this to market. And that someone is Jack Spade, who's offering a set of cards that read "nice parking"...perfect for sticking under the windshield wiper of particularly offensively-parked vehicles. Of course the white cards, which come in packs of 25 in a black box, leave room to scribble extra words. Like "numb-nuts." Or other words we wouldn't print on a family-friendly website. Buy them here.

Futurama: 2010 Lotus Evora

Lotus has decided to bring their next sports car masterpiece, the Evora, stateside. The Evora follows the '70s Lamborghini Urraco, Maserati Merak, Ferrari 308GT4 and its follow-up the Ferrari Mondial in being a mid-engine 2+2 sports car. It's arguably the best looking of that quintet, though. Two adult American males fit up front and there's still room in back for a couple of kids, while power comes from a Toyota-sourced 3.5L V6 producing 276 hp. With a curb weight of just 2,976 lbs., that should be plenty to scoot this puppy along. Expect 0-60 in 5 seconds, a top speed of 160+ and 30 mpg. The Evora will hit dealers between Dec '09 and April '10, giving me plenty of time to save up $100k+...or not.

Black Friday!

It's a Black Party and err' body is invited...or you could spend your night seeing 'Transporter 3'... It's a toss up, really.

White Trash Matt's Freshness Alert: Nike Court Force Lux

Nike has released a new high-fashion version of its classic Court Force basketball kicks. It features a glove-like leather and a nubuck upper. Woven on its heel is a single Sail-colored eyelet and a small 'Lux' logo. The Court Force Lux comes in two very traditional, easy-to-match colors, Black and Grey, so you can pair it with almost anything.

Around Town: P.A.L. Charity Auction @ Citizens Bank Park

The Diamond Club at Citizens Bank Park hosted the Police Athletic League's annual charity auction earlier in the week. All kinds of cool stuff was up for auction and my boy Justice even scored me some sweet Nike Air Force 1's signed by the legendary Sugar Hill Gang on a raffle draw (pics soon). Eagles WR Reggie Brown kicked it with us a little and, as shown below, chucks a way bigger, more manly deuce than yours truly.

Futurama: Robot Legs!

The year is 2008 and Honda has invented robot legs for human beings...this is no joke. To use the legs, the wearer slips on the special (and extremely stylish) shoes and adjusts the seat so that it supports their weight. Two motors move the frame and seat position while lithium-ion batteries keep the system powered for about two hours on a full charge. What's next? I'm hoping some legs that can help white people jump, so that I can fulfill my lifelong dream on dunking a full-sized basketball.

White Trash Matt's Freshness Alert: Under Crwn Obama 'O Face' Tee

One helluva fresh tee from indie street wear company Under Crwn, just in time for the election. For the unfamiliar, the inspiration for Barack's pose on the shirt comes courtesy of the high-flying Vince Carter and his infamous owning of a French player in an international exhibition game a few years back, when he literally jumped OVER him (and even had K.G. slack-jawed in the background).

White Trash Matt's Freshness Alert: 'Reverse The Curse' Phil's Gear

With Game 1 of The World Series in the bag (thanks to our boy Hollywood Hamels), it's time to start believing that the infamous Billy Penn curse may have finally been broken. The good people over at Ubiq have whipped up some pretty dope 'Reverse the Curse' gear to celebrate the Phil's first WS appearance since '93. They have a a pair of simple t-shirt designs for the more low-key, style-conscious fan, plus some throwback-style 'Iggles Green' knit ski-caps (complete w/ puffy ball on top) for the shamelessly old school fanatical types. Cop yours here.

Futurama: Clocky The Alarm Clock

If you're like me and find yourself hitting the snooze button over and over and over every morning until you're late for work then you need to cop yourself a Clocky. Clocky makes sure that your lazy ass has no choice but to get out of bed, because if you hit snooze more than once it rolls off your nightstand and RUNS! That's right, you've got no choice besides hopping up out of bed and going all 'Man Vs. Wild' on this bitch, running around your room in the dark, desperately trying to hunt down Clocky and shut it the hell up. In my humble opinion, the single greatest invention since 'Man Vs. Wild'. You can buy it here.

Attack of the Rich People: When A Plain Old Roofed Maybach Just Isn't Enough

Maybach is now taking orders for its new open-topped Landaulet sedan... at $1.4 million a pop. I placed my order yesterday via PayPal; one in Black one and one in Silver. The hand-built to order Landaulet, ready for delivery later this fall, harkens back to the open-topped limousines that popes and kings used to be driven around in. The retractable roof means that God himself can now cast his purest rays of sunshine directly on his favorite, most blessed children-the silly rich-without superfluous safety features LIKE A ROOF getting in the way. Let's hope the hand-sewn Nappa leather seats are weather treated, just in case it ever rains of whatever parade justifies this rolling hunk of excess's presence.

On This Day In History: October 8, 2004

Lifestyle guru Martha Stewart reported to prison to begin serving a 5-month sentence for lying to the feds about a stock sale. Rich people the world over finally grew something resembling what we in the working-class call a 'conscience' and stopped F'ing the little people...or not.

Excess Spending: Lamborghini Estoque

Well, nice to know that Italy's economy isn't in the crapper too...because they're still spending boatloads of cash reinventing the super car on, like, a yearly basis. The latest comes from Lamborghini, and it's a four-door sports car called the Estoque. It's pretty darn sexy and will look hella nice when you see it sitting in some NBA player's driveway on 'Cribs'. Besides being exceptionally good-looking and quite fast, the Estoque is also one of the shortest cars in the world, with a super-low roofline that peaks at less than 4 1/2 feet tall! Short...Sexy...Exotic...Fast...it's basically the Tila Tequila of sports cars; the main difference between the two being that automobiles can't have Herpes.

Futurama: Rave Juice

Let's face it, we haven't had a hot new drink trend in a while and sloppy, c**k-teasing co-eds are getting just as tired of Red Bull & Vodkas as collar-popping frat asses are of Jager Bombs. That, paired with the recent economic cluster-F, has the party people of America clamoring for something new they can drink themselves stupid on- without breaking the bank. The country is finally ready for the tasty little Australian diddy that is Rave Juice to jump shore from way down under and start hammer-drunking club goers. It's really pretty simple; take some Red Bull, some Agwa (Bolivian Cocoa Leaf Liquor) and a glow stick, mix it up in a Ziploc bag full of ice and serve with a straw. Before you go bitching about carrying around a sandwich baggy full of booze, take a second and think about how many times you've broken a glass or spilled a $9 cocktail while out partying and sloshed and you might just reconsider the handiness of a drink container that can't be broken, but CAN be waived around in the air on the dance floor like a rally towel at a Phil's game (when sealed of course). The glow stick is simply for style points, since it makes the bag glow in the dark something crazy, which also keeps your drunk ass from misplacing it.

I Like Maseratis....

That's all. Every car they build rocks my freakin socks. New concept called the GranTurismo MC Corse pictured below.

It's all gggooooooddddd...until my boy Becks rolls up in a $500,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe rockin REAL $1,200 Yves St. Laurent shades with a squad of security rollin behind him in tinted-out Tahoes. Soccer moms, consider yourselves officially owned.

Terrible News...

Prayers go out to Travis Barker and DJ AM, both of whom were severely injured in a place crash last night.

Attack of the Rich People: Artist Rakes In $200 Million At One Auction

'Artist' and world-class uber-douche Damien Hirst's two-day auction just wrapped up at Sotheby's in London...and totalled nearly a quarter billion dollars in sales! The 'art' consisted mostly of dead animals sealed in fancy containers filled with formaldehyde. One piece entitled 'The Golden Calf' sold for $18.5 million and the list of buyers apparently included the Russian billionaire/prick who's yacht I featured a few posts back. All I can do is hold out hope that one day dude will try and seal a lion or bear or something else vicious in one of his giant gold-plated fish tank thingys before it's actually dead, getting mauled to death in the process.

Excess Spending: I'd Rather Be In Montenegro

If I COULD afford to take some time off work and jet-set my broke ass off to somewhere nicer than where I currently reside (North Philly), Montenegro would be way up near the top of my list. Apparently the Mediterranean is the hot new place to be if you're rich and lookin to chillax...not to mention spend some major CASH. The spot pictured below is the resort island of Sveti Stefan, and I would take pretty much any job under the sun if it meant relocating to even the crappiest of accommodations on that little slice of paradise. Wonder if they have morning radio in Montenegro...

Congratulations, You Just Got Owned: Floyd Mayweather

Recently-retired former boxing champ Floyd 'Money' Mayweather may want to think about taking another fight or two after getting straight-up owned by a gang of home-invading burglars this weekend. The four unknown assailants made off with over $7 MILLION DOLLARS worth of diamond-encrusted custom jewelry after breaking into Floyd's empty Las Vegas home on Saturday. Maybe that HBO reality show where you showed everyone the massive stash of cash and jewels you keep in your house wasn't such a great idea...

Attack of the Rich People: Billionaire's Yacht Fueled By Abandoned Dumpster Babies

...Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but this godless $400 million crater of a carbon footprint DOES burn 700 gallons of fuel PER HOUR. The 390-foot yacht (named 'A' after it's owner, Russian oil baron Andrey Melnichenko) requires a full-time staff of 42 to operate, including one dude who makes $100k a year to just stand around blowing a bullhorn at the 'poor people' who cruise by in their 200-foot yachts. Totally useless amenities include two on board swimming pools (a boat, by definition, is in a constant state of being surrounded by a giant swimming pool) AND two functional helipads (in case of company?). The cherry on this douche-bag sundae? Try the three original Monet paintings on board.

White Trash Matt's 'In Case You Missed It': Home Stereos Got Huge As Hell Again

If you're old enough to remember the 80's, odds are you remember three things: Duck Hunt, bad hair, and obnoxiously massive boom boxes. Well, guess what? While we've all been busy playing around with apple products, half-ass little ear bud headphones and those over-priced crap-tastic ipod dock station things since Y2K, companies like Sony have been busy getting all HGH-style on home stereos again. If you aren't old enough to remember the day of the dinosaur tape deck, then start saving your spare change and pony up- because one of these bad boys and a Run-DMC greatest hits CD might just change your life, youngin'.

Attack of the Rich People: 1st Production Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Auctioned For $3.2 Million

Way to go rich guy who just paid $3.2 Million for the rights to order the first Veyron Grand Sport to roll off Bugatti's production line early next year, you sure showed that art-collecting yuppy neighbor with the Van Gogh in his study who REALLY knows how to blow a small fortune at an auction! Hope you own a conveniently located chain of gas stations buddy...6 mpg if ya floor it.

Excess Spending: Giant LED Alarm Clock Shelf

My blind ass needs this! No more being late for to work for Chio in the Morning because I couldn't read the alarm clock with this bad boy! This massive alarm clock/shelfing unit can hold my DVD's AND constantly remind me how much time I'm wasting watching them...brilliant!

It's A Good Day In The Hood When...

You come home to find that the block finally got some fresh, crispy cross-walk lines! (it's the little things, people) Hell's yeah-now we can cross the street safely...as long as no one's out there popping off strays. Note the other new addition to the block, the nasty-ass abandoned mattress that got dumped over night too. In either case, I'm glad I have proof that at least two people beside myself even know the freakin street exists.

White Trash Matt's Freshness Alert: Nike HyperDunk McFly Edition

So, your boy missed the boat on these...mainly because I don't live in Cali OR have enough freetime to spend my entire weekend camping out on a sidewalk for a sneaker release. These sick little puppies are the special 'Marty McFly Edition' of Nike's HyperDunk- Kobe Bryant's signature shoe. They are super-light, super hi-tech, high-tops inspired by the ones Michael J. Fox rocked in the 'Back to the Future' film series from the late 80's and early 90's...and I'm sad that I don't have them.

Congratulations, You Just Got Owned: The OTHER Olympic Swimmers

Attention College Students!! The Chio in the Morning Show Needs Interns!!

So here's the deal- We need some interns for the upcoming fall semester. Applicants should be currently-enrolled college students who are prepared to get up pretty early in the morning 3 days a week and who have sound writing and organizational skills. Internships with Wired are chock full of useful learning opportunities and even feature the occasional 'teachable moment', in which we say something that borders on profound, and, maybe even life-altering. So if you're NOT a total dumbass, a lazy stoner or a cookie-cutter frat-douche, e-mail Seacrest or myself with a (hopefully) well-edited resume and an oh-so typically weak attempt at a clever cover letter. If you ARE a total dumbass, a lazy stoner or a cookie-cutter frat-douche, there are plenty of other radio stations in Philly who would love to hear from you!

Excess Spending: Altered Electric Skateboard

This is right up Gn Kang's alley! A company called Altered has announced the release of their brand new electric skateboard that can go from 0-19 mph in only four seconds and has a range of 8-12 miles on a single charge. It comes complete with trigger-based wireless controls, so you can stay in command and ride safely while keeping your focus on looking cool and apathetic. All you need now is five or six friends to stand around and video-tape you on it, when they aren't busy saying clever things like 'dawgy' and 'son!'

White Trash Matt Recommends: Technics RP-DH1200 Headphones

I just got the newest Technics headphones, the RP-DH1200s, and they are simply gangster. They sound amazing AND look cool as hell, only downsides being that they are a bit pricey and weigh like 5+ lbs. For those of you who DJ or work with audio professionally, these are definitely right up there with the industry-standard Sony models. If you don't spin or work with sound there's still good news, the 1/4' adapter screws off to a standard stereo-mini jack that you could plug into your laptop or ipod...making you quite the flashy, not to mention happy, music connoisseur.

For the rich dude who wants all the factory-standard swagger that comes with owning an exotic Italian sports car, without the 'He's compensating for something' rumblings associated with wheeling around in a bright yellow Ferrari. This car is fast (400+ horsepower), pricey ($100,000+) and all-around sexy as hell. Beating off the hordes of aspiring actresses and gold-digging old city club groupies is made easy with the optional trunk-mounted Maserati 'Bitch Stick'. Personally, I'd go with the Super-80's, Miami Vice-style Pearl White with Red Leather...but then I'd also have to invest in a closet full of white linen Ralph Lauren suits and start rocking exposed chest hair. The GranTurismo also gets my vote for 'Vehicle most likely to pop up sometime in the first 3 episodes of the new "Entourage" season.'

White Trash Matt Recommends: 'Heroes' Season One DVD

Just picked up the first season of 'Heroes' on DVD yesterday (Justice recommended) and started watching it last night...seems pretty dope. Damn thing is like 7 discs though, so getting a whole season in could take a while...

Congratulations, You Just Got Owned: Scott Storch

"SunTrust Bank moved earlier this month to foreclose on the $10 million Miami home of hip-hop producer Scott Storch, according to Miami-Dade County records obtained last week.
Over the past month, Storch saw both his $263,00 Ferrari Scaglietti and his prized motorcycle, a Bones Bike, repossessed as well."

Congratulations, You Just Got Owned: Shia LaBeouf

"American actor Shia LaBeouf has been arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated after he crashed his Ford F-150 pickup truck into another car in the early hours of Sunday, police said Sunday. The 22-year-old was also hospitalized with a hand injury, police said."

UPDATE: So dude got cleared of the DUI...but he's made out with Megan Fox, and I'm a hater, so the post stays up.

White Trash Matt's Freshness Alert: Limited Edition Lupe Fiasco T-Shirt

Karmaloop.com, one of my favorite online clothing stores, recently held a T-shirt contest for Lupe Fiasco's album "The Cool" and asked participants to come up with a sick shirt design based on their interpretation of the album (Check out the winning design by Guadalupe Cos-Gayonand Miguel Abio from Spain below). Even cooler is that now you can buy the shirt and all proceeds from the sale will go to Lupe's charity of choice, WHY, which helps to bring solutions to hunger and poverty.

White Trash Matt's 'Must See': Cotto Vs. Margarito

If you've never watched a boxing match before in your life do yourself a favor and watch Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito slug it out this Saturday on Pay Per View. Trust me, this will be CLASSIC!

White Trash Matt's Freshness Alert: 2009 Volkswagen CC

The brand new VW CC or 'Comfort Coupe' is already out in Europe and due here in the fall. It's basically a cheaper Mercedes Benz CLS; a four-door sedan with a coupe-style roof line and two bucket seats in the back. No word on pricing yet, but rumored to start somewhere in the high-twenty's. I'm diggin' it.

White Trash Matt's Freshness Alert: Nike Air Yeezy

Is Kanye getting his own custom kicks? Pics of the Nike Air Yeezy prototypes have popped up on the web and they are ill! The high top, tall tongue and toe strap are all signature traits of Kanye's sneaker style. Not sure yet if they will be put into production though...

White Trash Matt's 'In Case You Missed It': Great Launches In History

Being that we're launching the BRAND NEW Wired965.Com today, I thought it an appropriate time to take a look back at some other launches that have changed the course of human history, albeit not as thoroughly as the new website probably will...

1.) The Mayflower- September 6 1620


66 sea-sick, disease-ridden days later we have the start of the society that would give the world this:



2.) Sliced Bread- July 7 1928


Which, in turn, led to this:



3.) MJ's Final Shot- June 14 1998


Kindof...



4.) Napster- June 10 1999


Also known as "The day it became legal to steal stuff as long as it doesn't piss off anyone besides Metallica"

White Trash Matt's 'In Case You Missed It': Seven

There are only two good excuses for having never seen this flick 1) If you were a youngin' when it came out in 1995 and 2) If you don't have either a DVD Player or 10 bucks, because you can cop this movie almost anywhere for that much or less. It's got everything, including an awesome cast (Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Spacey are all stupid good in it), a killer story, and a twisted surprise ending that still bugged me out after watching it for like the 10th time earlier this week. Enough with the crap reality tv and sitcoms you watch every night already; do yourself a favor and go buy this freakin movie! Or just bring some Starbursts and Swedish Fish over and you can watch with me (*This applies to everyone but Seacrest). Not recommended for the kiddies though...It gets a little gory.

White Trash Matt Recommends: Blueberry Muffin Frosted Mini Wheats

Every now and again a new product comes along that just straight up brightens your day; a product that makes you say "word!?!?!" the first time you see it on the shelf at your local retailer. When these juicy little nuggets of merchandising innovation come along, I feel it is my distinct duty to share news of their existence with as many peeps as I can, so that they too may be touched by their fresh flavor of goodness. Today, that product is Blueberry Muffin Frosted Mini Wheats- and they are the ish. If there's one thing I love, its a good box of cereal and these guys are one of the best out there. Now, I know what you're thinking- is this some sort of paid product placement? The answer is most definitely 'no', but that's only because Kellogg's hasn't hollered at your boy with a lifetime supply yet (Just e-mail me, we can do it on the low).
