seedsthenrootsthengrass asked: This is a question for Ian(Olaf). On one of the episodes, there was a cover of Rage Against the Machine's "Killing In the Name Of". Who was it? Please answer soon, my life is being threatened by a curious listener. Thanks.
mandalazone asked: hey guys, great show, always a blast to listen to you... quick question, on ep.30 (starburst) you played a song about midway through by a girl, something about money doesn't weigh a lot or something like that. i can not track this thing down, please give me some info on it or her. thanks!
maomatt-deactivated20111201 asked: I have to know the song you played on Ep 38 at the 23 minute mark. Shazam was being a douchebag and I couldn't figure out what it was. You two have amazing snack and music tastes. :D
benpalmer123 asked: Please ask Europe-Ian what the name of that song was on the most recent podcast. It was bluegrass-ey. I've been looking all over Google for it and I can't find it. It's been killing me.
youaremorespecialthanme asked: How long does MATES plan on running with this 'Will they or won't they?' plot line? Obviously the two of you have great sexual chemistry, but so many shows have been ruined by dragging on this sort of thing. I just hope that if you get together, you stay together, as the viewers have a lot invested in your potential relationship.
lynsielee-deactivated20120103-d asked: Would you like me to send your signed copy of the Hustler magazine I'll be in to the Mates Headquarters? How shall I make it out to you? xoxo
shutupcabbage asked: listening to the first episode, just getting on board. i am staring at my ipod. i'm a viewer.
nbloggz asked: YoCrunch is the candy of yogurt. They have m&m's, Oreos, Butterfingers, Crunch and other candy mix-in ones. It hardly counts as yogurt.
zachdaulton asked: The soft pretzel, caramel apple, S'more, and a funnel cake. I think you guys should review one of these. Not sure where the line is on snack and desert.
wayback85 asked: I find it a bit remiss that you two haven't dedicated an episode to the memory of the late Slim-Jim spokesman Randy Savage. I realize you're still bitter about the ticker-tape parade, but I would think such professionals as yourselves(especially those of you who are skilled enough to be touted as Yogi-laureates) would take a moment to recognize the memory of such a trailblazer.
peopleseekingsolace asked: First off, you two fine gentleman are making history in the snack game. Years from now, historians will look back and see MATES as the even that started the snacking revolution that is upon. Now onto the question of the hour. Ever since the inception of MATES, I've been curious as to when exactly does a snack become a meal? Does finishing an entire bag of Lays still constitute a snack?
cumbubbles asked: whats the heating up lays thing?
universalstudiosgirl asked: One of y'all needs to be in the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie, I'd really be excited to see that
wayback85 asked: On the subject of chicken nuggets, I say 4 or less is a snack, and 6 or more is a meal. If you eat 5, fuck you. Nobody has ever eaten 5 chicken nuggets.
gmderieg asked: I discovered the greatest snack combo that's gonna blow Martha or whoever from Cape Cod's snack choice out of the water. Eat Oh Boy O'Berto's pepper beef jerky with an ice cold coca-cola, preferably in the 20oz plastic bottle.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
zenstephanie asked: You guys should have guests on the podcast more often. Not that just the two of you aren't good enough. But, like, add Showalter in the mix maybe sometime? That might be fun. He probably likes snacks.
shatnerhub asked: I shared with my mother in law that celery is nature's spork. She just stared at me. Now I look like even more of an idiot. And here I thought all this MATES listening would make me more popular...
radmccool asked: I'm not sure where to suggest a wacko snacko so I'm doing it here!
Ritz crackers + frosting.
I know it sounds just terrible for you, but if you get the ratio right, the deliciosity far outweighs the guilt. I recommend "Pillsbury® Creamy Supreme Cream Cheese" flavor but that's only because that's the only frosting I've tried in...

bwalczak asked: Tom, you should know this one from your days in Canada.
Coffee Crisp!
Being so close to the border we would get these in Buffalo. A delicious snack that I dare rate higher than Snickers.

claudioiphigenia asked: Did you think of trying marshmallow fluff and Fritos?
bizarrojordan asked: Since you guys have been on the combination tip, you should definitely pick Stacey's pita chips and hummus one week. Best combo!
nothingsaid asked: Where do I find the orchestra hit sound effect that follows every snack intro? I can't think of a better way to identify fellow MATES viewers (IKTNV) than having that as my text message sound.
aprilfoolsbaby86 asked: Tom: Regarding whether the Pringles guy was sliced and stacked before he was buried in the Pringles can. He was cremated.....just in case you really wanted to know.
Love the show!
Love the show!

aweathermusic asked: I see someone has already asked this, but I want reiterate that you guys pick some very nice interludial songs and I'd love to know what bands are making those songs. Particularly the Toblerone episode had a lovely interludial song. You may use the word "interludial" if you'd like, which I've just created. Think of it as a gift.
huzzbuzz asked: Development on the Oatmeal Creme Pies suggestion, which I'm sure you've been anxiously anticipating (since the oatmeal creme pie game is a consistently adapting and transfiguring one): there's this thing called a "big pack." Or maybe it's called something else, but I am too lazy to check this on, like, the internet or in my own kitchen or something. NOT ONLY do you...
thedoilynews asked: Now that you've had guests on the show, when is showalter or wain going to be meandering into the mates podcast?
mycrazyinlaws asked: why not orville redenbacher's microwave popcorn???
LOVE your podcast! Great analogies and tidbit on Canada. I am an ignorant American and really have no clue about Canada! Thank you for the great insight on snacks and the education!

sarakanti asked: This is not a question, but I thought Mike would enjoy this...I am a huge Dave Matthews fan and was just watching a documentary on the band (yes, I have no life), and at a show on April 4th, 1992, Dave himself (!) introduced the band as THE Dave Matthews Band. So I think if he can do it, you should be able to on Twitter, even if it's not the official name. Oh, and Tom, stop pretending you...
cathysphere asked: I decided yesterday that grapes are nature's perfect snack. If you two disagree, you're wrong.
frymax asked: You are truly geniuses.
jench78 asked: I cast aside your "rolls-royce" of ice cream, and suggest, instead, Graeter's french-pot style ice cream. If you do some research, you will discover that this is the densest ice cream available. I would send you some, but I'm waiting until I become a semi-successful tv actor and get a few royalty checks. You thought you'd had ice-cream, but you haven't. This one...
joshuacompton asked: I think you guys should try Good & Plenty... I remember them as being both good and plentiful, but I'm assuming that will have changed.
addventures asked: Have you covered Freezer Pops yet? If not, no time like the sweaty,hot-as-hell present! Actually, I just want to hear how you'll handle it if one of you sucks the melting pop down the wrong pipe, which is a common hazard of this treat. I wish you no harm, just for entertainment's sake, ya know?
rbnsndu asked: I'm also upset that Shreddies aren't sold in the US. Do CHEX work as a substitute?
blumblr asked: I forgot to DVR Magic's comedy central special. Please mail me a written transcript.
raptoring asked: hi, i was at a Stella shows about 3 years ago.
DO YOU REMEMBER ME?
also i see you on tv all the time do you remember me from there? i yelled at you all last night when you were talking about planes.
also if this is tom answering questions, i liked you in scrubs and had no idea you were in anything else! glad to see things are going well with yogi bear and all!~

mirubinstein asked: Can you keep calling us viewers and turn this into a TV show?
nullpunktenrgie asked: using mini pretzels to scoop up cold, salted whipped butter or philadelphia cream cheeze in the foil package.
gardenheaddd asked: trail mix. just trail mix.
dillsnufus asked: suggestion . 100 grand bar.

mirubinstein asked: Hey guys. I just wanted to spew some knowledge in your face. I'm listening to the Bugler podcast for the second time, and I think when they say, "All other snacks are pointless" on the bag, there's a second meaning of no other snack has a cone type shape that comes to a point. Nah mean? Have a good podcast byeeee.
pbnjake asked: Cereal?
grahamtheman asked: Hey,
I have a snack suggestion for you. It's a little wacko but delicious. Eat ramen noodles (preferably chicken) but don't cook them. crush the dry noodles up in the bag, then open. pour in the powder seasoning then shake the bag to season the dry noodles. Then snack away on a delicious crunchy treat.
Best,
graham wilson

redvelvetlady asked: You two are the peanut butter and jelly of podcasts :)
amamamam asked: Terra Chips?
occults asked: Have you ever considered some kind of 'Man vs. Food'-style challenge? I would love to see Mike and Tom face off in a snacking battle royale! (I'd also like to throw in an additional request for Totino's Pizza Rolls, which are responsible for 90% of my BMI.)
jakecary asked: How about Drake's Coffee Cake? Fuck everybody not on the East Coast.
