00:00:44

thought why not and wait you you missed
00:01:14
◼
►
the key like a key component of the van
00:01:17
◼
►
because people are hearing this and
00:01:19
◼
►
they're thinking like well that sounds
00:01:20
◼
►
like normal and it's like no it's not
00:01:22
◼
►

00:02:01
◼
►
have been going into pajamas yeah
00:02:03
◼
►
it's a money-losing venture but your
00:02:05
◼
►
pajama collection wardrobe is sure we're
00:02:09
◼
►
warm in the winter and it seems like a
00:02:11
◼
►
pretty special van - is there a history
00:02:13
◼
►
of the van a little bit it's a 1969
00:02:16
◼
►
Dodge a100 8 so it's a long wheelbase
00:02:18
◼
►
big engine and just you know kind of a
00:02:22
◼
►
beast of a machine and how many murders
00:02:26
◼
►
took place in this before you bought the
00:02:28
◼
►
van and how many years you've been
00:02:35
◼
►
selling cereal out of this van this has
00:02:37
◼
►
been about two and a half years we're
00:02:38

00:02:41
◼
►
a blast we've done a couple in

◼
►

00:02:44
◼
►
enjoyable it's kind of how we where I
00:02:46
◼
►
got a big start on it 2,500 miles in a
00:02:53
◼
►
van like this with no airbags and two
00:03:01
◼
►
weeks yeah so this is sort of a food
00:03:03
◼
►
truck but it's not a food truck in the
00:03:05
◼
►
sense that like you're not out every day

00:05:33
◼
►

00:05:35
◼
►
little complicated but it's my mic
00:05:37
◼
►
Captain Crunch
00:05:38
◼
►
peanut butter and jelly Sam oh I heard
00:05:39
◼
►
about this I do our listeners what's in
00:05:42
◼
►
your peanut butter and jelly sandwich
00:05:44
◼
►
and then in your fake apple pie the the
00:05:47
◼
►
Captain Crunch peanut butter and jelly
00:05:48
◼
►
sandwich starts off with a layer of
00:05:49
◼
►
Captain Crunch followed by a layer of
00:05:52
◼
►
peanut butter Captain Crunch followed by
00:05:53
◼
►
a layer of Captain Crunch oops all
00:05:55
◼
►
berries also topped with a layer of
00:05:58
◼
►
Captain Crunch so you've got the bread
00:05:59
◼
►
the jelly the peanut butter and then the
00:06:02
◼
►
bread on bottom and I gotta say I was
00:06:05
◼
►
very happy with with the cocktail you
00:06:06
◼
►
made me yesterday which was the the
00:06:08
◼
►
Grape Nuts with the app with the Apple
00:06:11
◼
►
Jacks it's a nice solid layer of the
00:06:16
◼
►
Apple Jacks on bottom topped with some
00:06:18
◼
►
cinnamon toast crunch and then a little
00:06:20
◼
►
sprinkling of Grape Nuts to fake that
00:06:21
◼
►
apple pie in there yeah I mean it seems
00:06:23
◼
►
like you are really a pioneer in the
00:06:25
◼
►
area of cereal cocktails I have not
00:06:27
◼
►
heard of anybody else doing this and it
00:06:28
◼
►
really does work impressively well yeah
00:06:30
◼
►
well I recommend mixing sometimes people
00:06:33
◼
►
get something weird and I'll be like I
00:06:34
◼
►
don't know about that somebody actually
00:06:35
◼
►
ordered Apple Jacks with peanut butter
00:06:38
◼
►
Captain Crunch and at first I was like
00:06:39
◼
►
no that's not right but then I realize
00:06:41
◼
►
it's it's a very good like that metal
00:07:15
◼
►
taste in your mouth
00:07:18
◼
►
alright could I go with the peanut
00:07:20
◼
►
butter puffs peanut butter puffins well
00:07:22
◼
►
let's see now there's Reese's puffs
00:07:24
◼
►
there's Reese's puffs there's peanut
00:07:25
◼
►
butter puffins oh and of course the
00:07:27
◼
►
peanut butter Captain Crunch okay I
00:07:29
◼
►
think the one I'm thinking of is
00:07:30
◼
►
probably the Captain Crunch let's try it
00:07:32
◼
►
but which is the better peanut butter
00:07:34
◼
►
the reason that is the best
00:07:37
◼
►
is the be hands-down most requested
00:07:41
◼
►
cereal absolutely okay
00:07:43
◼
►
well that seems like a blend of
00:07:46
◼
►
chocolate and peanut butter
00:07:47
◼
►
it is these couple see I actually I
00:07:49
◼
►
prefer peanut butter only just straight
00:07:52
◼
►
I think I'm gonna go Cap'n Crunch right
00:07:54
◼
►
all right Captain Crunch
00:08:00
◼
►
there's I see a warning on the box
00:08:01
◼
►
really it should be that and then the
00:08:07
◼
►
milk on that one you want to do two
00:08:08
◼
►
percent sure yeah all right I think two
00:08:09
◼
►
per say I'm Amy to me two percent is is
00:08:11
◼
►
the default cereal know what what do you
00:08:13
◼
►
guys sell the most over what do you
00:08:14
◼
►
recommend two percent is the is the most
00:08:18
◼
►
popular one followed by whole milk and
00:08:20
◼
►
then almond milk yep right oh is that a
00:08:26
◼
►
cereal same way that Cinnabon is with a
00:08:38
◼
►
little it's like a bandit and less
00:08:40
◼
►
disbanded dog mini breakfast foods in a
00:09:00
◼
►
bowl all right two percent
00:09:05
◼
►
cookie Christmas sucks like a BS cereal
00:09:08
◼
►
no it's not it is great
00:09:09
◼
►
it's totally be us yeah they're like if
00:09:11
◼
►
we make it small it's no no full-size
00:09:15
◼
►
cookies no nobody will note him yeah
00:09:16
◼
►
yeah a bowl of cookies doesn't work any
00:09:18
◼
►
yeah yeah let's just like a polar cookie
00:09:20
◼
►
all right my next one I'm also gonna try
00:09:21
◼
►
a cinnamon toast crunch of course yeah I
00:09:23
◼
►
mean that seems like like you know a
00:09:24
◼
►
staple yeah we can try Apple Jacks
00:09:36
◼
►
anybody else for peanut butter crunch
00:09:53
◼
►
yeah I'll put your mouse that you're
00:09:55
◼
►
holding the recorder my god this is
00:09:59
◼
►
gonna be a good recording just crunching
00:10:00
◼
►
noises I'm just gonna take a cookie no
00:10:07
◼
►
that's Apple Jacks just Apple Jacks yeah
00:10:10
◼
►
see the cookie crisps I think is a
00:10:12
◼
►
little bit disappointing it tastes a
00:10:14
◼
►
little bit like cardboard e to me like
00:10:15
◼
►
compared to real cookies all right
00:10:19
◼
►
cinnamon toast crunch the classic hmm so
00:10:23
◼
►
have you sold any 5 or 1 since last
00:10:25
◼
►
night I don't know why you have it on
00:10:31
◼
►
that's wet I like yeah I like the Apple
00:10:33
◼
►
Jacks one but I didn't like the free
00:10:35
◼
►
public cinnamon toast crunch holds up
00:10:37
◼
►
yeah that's a really good flavor
00:10:39
◼
►
yeah drinking the milk at the end of
00:10:41
◼
►
cinnamon toast crunch is always the best
00:10:43
◼
►
idea agreement yeah yeah I'd say it's
00:10:45
◼
►
one of the better cereal milks that you
00:10:47
◼
►
can you can make yeah
00:10:49
◼
►
oh yes easy don't scrunch big fall I'm
00:10:58
◼
►
still we have frozen milk do you like
00:11:02
◼
►
sloshy like hopefully not I I believe
00:11:14
◼
►
yeah extra good that way we we had a guy
00:11:17
◼
►
tell us the story about how he ground-up
00:11:19
◼
►
frosted flakes cinnamon toast crunch and
00:11:21
◼
►
whole milk in the blender and just to
00:11:24
◼
►
make like a smoothie out of it I would
00:11:29
◼
►
yeah post-workout toast crunch oh man
00:11:32
◼
►
that's so good alright what's the
00:11:34
◼
►
weirdest cereal you guys think you have
00:11:36
◼
►
like most bizarre or just the do you
00:11:40
◼
►
have any or close no no Oracle oh those
00:11:43
◼
►
went out of line long time it was a
00:11:45
◼
►
Steve Urkel themed cereal yeah oh oh
00:11:57
◼
►
Oh quiz see quizzed is like a that's
00:12:00
◼
►
like a 6000 that they brought back okay
00:12:03
◼
►
yeah but people people have ordered this
00:12:06
◼
►
so it's not like it's super bizarre why
00:12:08
◼
►
you have it I also bought one just
00:12:10
◼
►
because I love the box on it and how
00:12:13
◼
►
just kind of like a basic Uncle Sam
00:12:17
◼
►
berry flakes yeah toasted whole wheat
00:12:19
◼
►
berry flakes and flaxseed which is
00:12:21
◼
►
something you always want your breakfast
00:12:23
◼
►
packed with protein only four ingredient
00:12:26
◼
►
what is one whole grain
00:12:28
◼
►
or whole wheat kernels whole flax seeds
00:12:31
◼
►
salt and or Lehman's and patriotism well
00:12:35
◼
►
is that more insidious than that's a
00:12:39
◼
►
good question and I believe so I think
00:12:41
◼
►
which has neither no actually rape nuts
00:12:44
◼
►
has five ingredients
00:12:46
◼
►
no misplaced comma four ingredients all
00:12:49
◼
►
right yep I'm gonna go with a bowl of
00:12:52
◼
►
rice krispies sure the classic nope just
00:12:55
◼
►
the regular Krispies I love them
00:12:57
◼
►
especially with grapes green grapes cut
00:13:02
◼
►
that's an interesting combo I know it's
00:13:05
◼
►
really I really liked fruit cereal
00:13:07
◼
►
I guess so huh you a grape your cereal
00:13:09
◼
►
breaks my cereal but that's not right
00:13:12
◼
►
the grapes in half otherwise it's too
00:13:14
◼
►
slippery sure and they're like just a
00:13:16
◼
►
little buzzing around their cereal and
00:13:18
◼
►
that's the madness right it's unfinished
00:13:21
◼
►
raisins yep being ready to make some
00:13:27
◼
►
rankings yet yeah now that a small line
00:13:33
◼
►
is forming behind us yeah listen the
00:13:36
◼
►
snap is the mic good enough to pick it
00:13:39
◼
►
out oh yeah and I got to get a little
00:13:44
◼
►
Reese's puffs yeah so that I can
00:13:46
◼
►
confidently state that it is the best
00:13:47
◼
►
cereal because it's Reese's rhymes yeah
00:13:59
◼
►
this they used to sell this do you have
00:14:01

►
was like a crossover yeah I believe it
00:14:13
◼
►

00:14:23
◼
►
charms because it's rice crispies with
00:14:25

◼
►

►

►

00:14:34
◼
►
Cap'n Crunch to Reese's puffs that is
00:14:37
◼
►

the marshmallows aren't vegetarian can't
00:14:44
◼
►
eat it even these like crappy little
00:14:47
◼
►
marshmallows they're not either full of
00:14:48
◼
►
cow hooves okay enjoy cool all right I
00:14:55
◼
►
think I think I've got my top four hmm
00:14:57
◼
►
all right Mike since you are the
00:14:59
◼
►
resident rudest person and this is all
00:15:00
◼
►
very strange do do you want to start
00:15:01
◼
►
yeah so I just go with the whole list of
00:15:03
◼
►
for sure so at number four I'm gonna go
00:15:06
◼
►
with Apple Jacks then number three
00:15:09
◼
►
Captain Crunch even though my tongue cut
00:15:10
◼
►
still number two I'm gonna go with the
00:15:14
◼
►
Rice Krispies plus marshmallow combo and
00:15:16
◼
►
then Cinnamon Toast Crunch is number one
00:15:19
◼
►
yeah yeah awesome
00:15:21
◼
►
all right Paul I mean my top four is
00:15:26
◼
►
Reese's puffs Reese's puffs Reese's
00:15:29
◼
►
puffs and then maybe we'll go like
00:15:31
◼
►
cinnamon life all right I think I gotta
00:15:41
◼
►
go with I think number one is Reese's
00:15:44
◼
►
puffs for me and part of this I mean I
00:15:46
◼
►
would I think I'd feel bad buying a
00:15:47
◼
►
whole box of it but this is tough for
00:15:49
◼
►
cereals from a van so that's different
00:15:51
◼
►
from necessarily what you'd buy at home
00:15:53
◼
►
like okay I like smart start a lot yeah
00:15:56
◼
►
because it sounded like Samara starts
00:15:57
◼
►
sounds like it's you can excuse a little
00:15:59
◼
►
sugar in it because it sounds like a
00:16:00
◼
►
healthy choice even though you know it's
00:16:01
◼
►
as healthy as anything else right you
00:16:02
◼
►
got it here alright it's a delicious
00:16:04
◼
►
cereal and it's full of vitamins and it
00:16:06
◼
►
sounds healthy
00:16:07
◼
►
and it has more sugar than frosted
00:16:08
◼
►
flakes I probably sugar but it makes you
00:16:11
◼
►
think that it's healthy it's a smart
00:16:13
◼
►
start exactly right but I wouldn't get
00:16:15
◼
►
it from the van because this seemed like
00:16:17
◼
►
an excuse to get something more
00:16:18
◼
►
indulgent yeah alright so from the van I
00:16:21
◼
►
number one I think my my number two has
00:16:24
◼
►
to be cinnamon toast crunch it's such a
00:16:26
◼
►
classic it works really well
00:16:28
◼
►
number three I would probably go with
00:16:31
◼
►
don't forget your cocktails I know see
00:16:34
◼
►
the cocktails are good the cocktail I
00:16:35
◼
►
had last night which was the Apple at
00:16:37
◼
►
the apple pie one which is the Apple
00:16:38
◼
►
Jacks the grape nuts and the cinnamon
00:16:39
◼
►
toast crunch yeah that was fantastic
00:16:41
◼
►
and even though Cinnamon Toast Crunch
00:16:42
◼
►
was my number two I think I could reuse
00:16:45
◼
►
it as part of it absolutely so the
00:16:46
◼
►
cocktail is number three and for me I
00:16:48
◼
►
think number four I'd probably pick
00:16:50
◼
►
something else it's a little bit weird
00:16:51
◼
►
but a little bit classic but I wouldn't
00:16:53
◼
►
always buy probably a frosted flakes
00:16:55
◼
►
this is the most serious Europe well I
00:17:03
◼
►
was I was gonna go with just cereal and
00:17:06
◼
►
now when you said it's brought
00:17:07
◼
►
specifically from a van I'm gonna have
00:17:09
◼
►
to switch some things up because I can't
00:17:10
◼
►
access the frozen milk that I would
00:17:13
◼
►
normally have with Froot Loops and you
00:17:14
◼
►

00:17:16
◼
►
Loops from Whole Foods do you I know
00:17:19
◼
►
like fruit circles all right so I guess
00:17:30
◼
►
my number four then is gonna be Cookie
00:17:32
◼
►
Crisp my number three is gonna be Apple
00:17:37
◼
►
Jacks my number two is going to be
00:17:40
◼
►
fruity pebbles and my number one is
00:17:42
◼
►
going to be rice krispies with the
00:17:44
◼
►
