I’m imagining a live show of this where the auditorium is just empty, no chairs and everybody brings a sleeping bag or something like that

My only complaint is that you can't get a lot of these cereals in the UK; I have cereal envy 😭

Oh my gosh I thought Justin was kidding about the interview! Look up "Justin McElroy Talks Blueberry Muffin Tops".

The cereal nostalgia bombs and genuine, nuanced reviews make me REALLY hungry, but also make me see my faves in a new light.
