  • Part of a Balanced 2000's Breakfast
    Feb 27 2026

    Ah yes, the 2000s — when a bowl of sugar plus a glass of orange juice magically became a “Balanced Breakfast.”

    This episode The Busy Signal revisits the era of cereal propaganda, portable breakfasts, and drive-thru creations that tried to pass for the most important meal of the day. If you ate breakfast in the car, at your desk, or halfway through first period… congratulations, you were living the dream.

    This week on The Busy Signal, my buddy George and I revisit The Muppet Christmas Carol—the early ’90s holiday classic that somehow managed to be heartfelt, hilarious, and surprisingly faithful to Dickens.
