0:00:11so you want to introduce the van do you
0:00:14guys want introduce yourselves here
0:00:15outside yeah yeah alright hey everybody
0:00:19we have a special top four we are live
0:00:21from xoxo fest here in Portland Oregon
0:00:24and we are recording from serial from a
0:00:27van this is literally a van filled with
0:00:30cereal and two peoples that serve it and
0:00:32you buy the cereal and you eat it and
0:00:34they make kind of cereal cocktails it's
0:00:37kind of amazing so we figured this would
0:00:39be a great opportunity for us to come
0:00:41down here try out all the different type
0:00:44of cereals that we would ever want to
0:00:45try instead of having to buy tremendous
0:00:48boxes of all of these things ourselves
0:00:50and so we're going to test all these out
0:00:52you ready guys yeah I have with us it's
0:00:54Mia Marco typical we also have popped a
0:00:57fascist and we have AI Mike from the
0:01:00internet also from the internet and we
0:01:04are here with who are you guys no I'm
0:01:07Joel and this is Mary and we just had
0:01:10this as a wild and crazy idea and we
0:01:12thought why not and wait you you missed
0:01:14the key like a key component of the van
0:01:17because people are hearing this and
0:01:19they're thinking like well that sounds
0:01:20like normal and it's like no it's not
0:01:22but also they're wearing pajamas he has
0:01:25a nice Joel has a nice like 50s era
0:01:28it's a dead jam is from a 50 sitcom and
0:01:32then we have a Snuggie on Mary which is
0:01:34is just lovely
0:01:36yes previous days we have seen the Elmo
0:01:40onesie yep a couple superhero onesie no
0:01:43dip those have proper feet the Elmo's
0:01:46did not they came with a cuff offs
0:01:48because they were up about my knee right
0:01:53yeah and then I have a short robe it's a
0:01:56nice like Fight Club style short pink
0:01:59robe so all the profits from this van
0:02:01have been going into pajamas yeah
0:02:03it's a money-losing venture but your
0:02:05pajama collection wardrobe is sure we're
0:02:09warm in the winter and it seems like a
0:02:11pretty special van - is there a history
0:02:13of the van a little bit it's a 1969
0:02:16Dodge a100 8 so it's a long wheelbase
0:02:18big engine and just you know kind of a
0:02:22beast of a machine and how many murders
0:02:26took place in this before you bought the
0:02:28van and how many years you've been
0:02:35selling cereal out of this van this has
0:02:37been about two and a half years we're
0:02:38doing private events and it's been been
0:02:41a blast we've done a couple in
0:02:42California that has been really
0:02:44enjoyable it's kind of how we where I
0:02:46got a big start on it 2,500 miles in a
0:02:53van like this with no airbags and two
0:03:01weeks yeah so this is sort of a food
0:03:03truck but it's not a food truck in the
0:03:05sense that like you're not out every day
0:03:06no you just private event that's okay
0:03:16all right so we're gonna all kind of
0:03:19pick our first bowls to try out are we
0:03:22gonna do a proper top four list of so
0:03:27we're all gonna kind of pick cereals
0:03:29that were interested in trying and then
0:03:30at the end we will rank what we think is
0:03:33our favorites kind of like as a
0:03:34quickfire okay list because there are a
0:03:35lot of us okay um yeah I guess I'll go
0:03:38first I'm gonna start off with some
0:03:40fruity pebbles fruity pebbles yeah solid
0:03:42pick tips got notes on what she's going
0:03:44to order I did not prep enough we have
0:03:50sponsors funning con if I had more hands
0:03:53that have notes I took the five heads
0:03:55better 20
0:03:57we're gonna go with 2% milk there's a
0:03:59whole bevy of milk options here as well
0:04:00but they do not have a fridge it's a
0:04:02it's a cooler that I assume is is it
0:04:05plugged in okay okay yeah it's a CBC
0:04:08power okay
0:04:09very nice okay so it is Bridge so anyone
0:04:10else who's next I think for my first one
0:04:13I'm gonna try some Golden Grahams yeah
0:04:15I'm gonna try this right away and then
0:04:17possibly send the spoon around to anyone
0:04:18who wants to try this because Fruity
0:04:19Pebbles get very soggy very quickly and
0:04:21they are awful so when you got to go
0:04:26through the golden ribs quick cuz those
0:04:28get bad too my microphone tried it
0:04:32pretty bad alright our resident British
0:04:34man amazing I'm Pinkberry no I don't
0:04:42like that no no milk and water update so
0:04:45so we also have just cereal marshmallows
0:04:47if you want to add that to any cereal
0:04:49particularly pebbles do you want to try
0:04:55some good well yeah I'll try that it'll
0:04:59go to good my golden yeah you gotta try
0:05:00them seeing if they're already gone
0:05:02they're already have yep alright I'm
0:05:05gonna go with the captain crunch crunch
0:05:07[Music]
0:05:10okay those are fine they're a little the
0:05:13sugar wears off really fast on no
0:05:15probably getting really sweet but they
0:05:16just they can't just hit my cornflakes
0:05:18we now go for Golden Grahams it's
0:05:22colorful and beautiful I love this room
0:05:24I'm Mary what is your favorite cereal
0:05:26cocktail
0:05:28applejack no Apple fake apple pie yeah
0:05:31okay so we did that we've had that is
0:05:33there another one that you as it's a
0:05:35little complicated but it's my mic
0:05:37Captain Crunch
0:05:38peanut butter and jelly Sam oh I heard
0:05:39about this I do our listeners what's in
0:05:42your peanut butter and jelly sandwich
0:05:44and then in your fake apple pie the the
0:05:47Captain Crunch peanut butter and jelly
0:05:48sandwich starts off with a layer of
0:05:49Captain Crunch followed by a layer of
0:05:52peanut butter Captain Crunch followed by
0:05:53a layer of Captain Crunch oops all
0:05:55berries also topped with a layer of
0:05:58Captain Crunch so you've got the bread
0:05:59the jelly the peanut butter and then the
0:06:02bread on bottom and I gotta say I was
0:06:05very happy with with the cocktail you
0:06:06made me yesterday which was the the
0:06:08Grape Nuts with the app with the Apple
0:06:11Jacks it's a nice solid layer of the
0:06:16Apple Jacks on bottom topped with some
0:06:18cinnamon toast crunch and then a little
0:06:20sprinkling of Grape Nuts to fake that
0:06:21apple pie in there yeah I mean it seems
0:06:23like you are really a pioneer in the
0:06:25area of cereal cocktails I have not
0:06:27heard of anybody else doing this and it
0:06:28really does work impressively well yeah
0:06:30well I recommend mixing sometimes people
0:06:33get something weird and I'll be like I
0:06:34don't know about that somebody actually
0:06:35ordered Apple Jacks with peanut butter
0:06:38Captain Crunch and at first I was like
0:06:39no that's not right but then I realize
0:06:41it's it's a very good like that metal
0:07:15taste in your mouth
0:07:18alright could I go with the peanut
0:07:20butter puffs peanut butter puffins well
0:07:22let's see now there's Reese's puffs
0:07:24there's Reese's puffs there's peanut
0:07:25butter puffins oh and of course the
0:07:27peanut butter Captain Crunch okay I
0:07:29think the one I'm thinking of is
0:07:30probably the Captain Crunch let's try it
0:07:32but which is the better peanut butter
0:07:34the reason that is the best
0:07:37is the be hands-down most requested
0:07:41cereal absolutely okay
0:07:43well that seems like a blend of
0:07:46chocolate and peanut butter
0:07:47it is these couple see I actually I
0:07:49prefer peanut butter only just straight
0:07:52I think I'm gonna go Cap'n Crunch right
0:07:53fair enough
0:07:54all right Captain Crunch
0:08:00there's I see a warning on the box
0:08:01really it should be that and then the
0:08:07milk on that one you want to do two
0:08:08percent sure yeah all right I think two
0:08:09per say I'm Amy to me two percent is is
0:08:11the default cereal know what what do you
0:08:13guys sell the most over what do you
0:08:14recommend two percent is the is the most
0:08:18popular one followed by whole milk and
0:08:20then almond milk yep right oh is that a
0:08:26cereal same way that Cinnabon is with a
0:08:38little it's like a bandit and less
0:08:40disbanded dog mini breakfast foods in a
0:09:00bowl all right two percent
0:09:05cookie Christmas sucks like a BS cereal
0:09:08no it's not it is great
0:09:09it's totally be us yeah they're like if
0:09:11we make it small it's no no full-size
0:09:15cookies no nobody will note him yeah
0:09:16yeah a bowl of cookies doesn't work any
0:09:18other way
0:09:18yeah yeah let's just like a polar cookie
0:09:20all right my next one I'm also gonna try
0:09:21a cinnamon toast crunch of course yeah I
0:09:23mean that seems like like you know a
0:09:24staple yeah we can try Apple Jacks
0:09:36anybody else for peanut butter crunch
0:09:53yeah I'll put your mouse that you're
0:09:55holding the recorder my god this is
0:09:59gonna be a good recording just crunching
0:10:00noises I'm just gonna take a cookie no
0:10:07that's Apple Jacks just Apple Jacks yeah
0:10:10see the cookie crisps I think is a
0:10:12little bit disappointing it tastes a
0:10:14little bit like cardboard e to me like
0:10:15compared to real cookies all right
0:10:19cinnamon toast crunch the classic hmm so
0:10:23have you sold any 5 or 1 since last
0:10:25night I don't know why you have it on
0:10:30the list
0:10:31that's wet I like yeah I like the Apple
0:10:33Jacks one but I didn't like the free
0:10:35public cinnamon toast crunch holds up
0:10:37yeah that's a really good flavor
0:10:39yeah drinking the milk at the end of
0:10:41cinnamon toast crunch is always the best
0:10:43idea agreement yeah yeah I'd say it's
0:10:45one of the better cereal milks that you
0:10:47can you can make yeah
0:10:49oh yes easy don't scrunch big fall I'm
0:10:58good
0:10:58still we have frozen milk do you like
0:11:02sloshy like hopefully not I I believe
0:11:14yeah extra good that way we we had a guy
0:11:17tell us the story about how he ground-up
0:11:19frosted flakes cinnamon toast crunch and
0:11:21whole milk in the blender and just to
0:11:24make like a smoothie out of it I would
0:11:29yeah post-workout toast crunch oh man
0:11:32that's so good alright what's the
0:11:34weirdest cereal you guys think you have
0:11:36like most bizarre or just the do you
0:11:40have any or close no no Oracle oh those
0:11:43went out of line long time it was a
0:11:45Steve Urkel themed cereal yeah oh oh
0:11:56like yeah
0:11:57Oh quiz see quizzed is like a that's
0:12:00like a 6000 that they brought back okay
0:12:03yeah but people people have ordered this
0:12:06so it's not like it's super bizarre why
0:12:08you have it I also bought one just
0:12:10because I love the box on it and how
0:12:13just kind of like a basic Uncle Sam
0:12:17berry flakes yeah toasted whole wheat
0:12:19berry flakes and flaxseed which is
0:12:21something you always want your breakfast
0:12:22cereal yeah
0:12:23packed with protein only four ingredient
0:12:26what is one whole grain
0:12:28or whole wheat kernels whole flax seeds
0:12:31salt and or Lehman's and patriotism well
0:12:35is that more insidious than that's a
0:12:39good question and I believe so I think
0:12:41which has neither no actually rape nuts
0:12:44has five ingredients
0:12:46no misplaced comma four ingredients all
0:12:49right yep I'm gonna go with a bowl of
0:12:52rice krispies sure the classic nope just
0:12:55the regular Krispies I love them
0:12:57especially with grapes green grapes cut
0:13:01in half
0:13:02that's an interesting combo I know it's
0:13:05really I really liked fruit cereal
0:13:07I guess so huh you a grape your cereal
0:13:09breaks my cereal but that's not right
0:13:12the grapes in half otherwise it's too
0:13:14slippery sure and they're like just a
0:13:16little buzzing around their cereal and
0:13:18that's the madness right it's unfinished
0:13:21raisins yep being ready to make some
0:13:27rankings yet yeah now that a small line
0:13:33is forming behind us yeah listen the
0:13:36snap is the mic good enough to pick it
0:13:39out oh yeah and I got to get a little
0:13:44Reese's puffs yeah so that I can
0:13:46confidently state that it is the best
0:13:47cereal because it's Reese's rhymes yeah
0:13:59this they used to sell this do you have
0:14:01that rice krispies with the marshmallows
0:14:03yeah they sold those they had the rice
0:14:05krispies treats cereal no no oh just
0:14:07there was one with her marshmallows in
0:14:08rice krispies they used to sell that it
0:14:10was like a crossover yeah I believe it
0:14:13very good i when I was shopping I did
0:14:23charms because it's rice crispies with
0:14:25the marshmallows okay it's a way better
0:14:27that's that's rockin right you know I
0:14:30didn't make much I think I agree I think
0:14:33you've converted me from peanut butter
0:14:34Cap'n Crunch to Reese's puffs that is
0:14:37better Oh Paul do you want to try some
0:14:39rice krispies of lifts marshmallows I'm
0:14:40good
0:14:41the marshmallows aren't vegetarian can't
0:14:44eat it even these like crappy little
0:14:47marshmallows they're not either full of
0:14:48cow hooves okay enjoy cool all right I
0:14:55think I think I've got my top four hmm
0:14:57all right Mike since you are the
0:14:59resident rudest person and this is all
0:15:00very strange do do you want to start
0:15:01yeah so I just go with the whole list of
0:15:03for sure so at number four I'm gonna go
0:15:06with Apple Jacks then number three
0:15:09Captain Crunch even though my tongue cut
0:15:10still number two I'm gonna go with the
0:15:14Rice Krispies plus marshmallow combo and
0:15:16then Cinnamon Toast Crunch is number one
0:15:19yeah yeah awesome
0:15:21all right Paul I mean my top four is
0:15:26Reese's puffs Reese's puffs Reese's
0:15:29puffs and then maybe we'll go like
0:15:31cinnamon life all right I think I gotta
0:15:41go with I think number one is Reese's
0:15:44puffs for me and part of this I mean I
0:15:46would I think I'd feel bad buying a
0:15:47whole box of it but this is tough for
0:15:49cereals from a van so that's different
0:15:51from necessarily what you'd buy at home
0:15:53like okay I like smart start a lot yeah
0:15:56because it sounded like Samara starts
0:15:57sounds like it's you can excuse a little
0:15:59sugar in it because it sounds like a
0:16:00healthy choice even though you know it's
0:16:01as healthy as anything else right you
0:16:02got it here alright it's a delicious
0:16:04cereal and it's full of vitamins and it
0:16:06sounds healthy
0:16:07and it has more sugar than frosted
0:16:08flakes I probably sugar but it makes you
0:16:11think that it's healthy it's a smart
0:16:13start exactly right but I wouldn't get
0:16:15it from the van because this seemed like
0:16:17an excuse to get something more
0:16:18indulgent yeah alright so from the van I
0:16:20would want
0:16:21number one I think my my number two has
0:16:24to be cinnamon toast crunch it's such a
0:16:26classic it works really well
0:16:28number three I would probably go with
0:16:31don't forget your cocktails I know see
0:16:34the cocktails are good the cocktail I
0:16:35had last night which was the Apple at
0:16:37the apple pie one which is the Apple
0:16:38Jacks the grape nuts and the cinnamon
0:16:39toast crunch yeah that was fantastic
0:16:41and even though Cinnamon Toast Crunch
0:16:42was my number two I think I could reuse
0:16:45it as part of it absolutely so the
0:16:46cocktail is number three and for me I
0:16:48think number four I'd probably pick
0:16:50something else it's a little bit weird
0:16:51but a little bit classic but I wouldn't
0:16:53always buy probably a frosted flakes
0:16:55this is the most serious Europe well I
0:17:03was I was gonna go with just cereal and
0:17:06now when you said it's brought
0:17:07specifically from a van I'm gonna have
0:17:09to switch some things up because I can't
0:17:10access the frozen milk that I would
0:17:13normally have with Froot Loops and you
0:17:14guys don't happen to have the fake Froot
0:17:16Loops from Whole Foods do you I know
0:17:19like fruit circles all right so I guess
0:17:30my number four then is gonna be Cookie
0:17:32Crisp my number three is gonna be Apple
0:17:37Jacks my number two is going to be
0:17:40fruity pebbles and my number one is
0:17:42going to be rice krispies with the
0:17:44marshmallows yeah I think we're good
0:17:49right yeah we are yeah I think I'm gonna
0:18:10get a cocktail maybe or maybe some more
0:18:11peanut butter all right and if anyone's
0:18:13worried this was our dinner I feel like
0:18:14yes yeah all right well thank you very
