Mike &amp; Tom Eat Snacks

I'm also upset that Shreddies aren't sold in the US. Do CHEX work as a substitute?

No! Hell NO! Do NOT substitute Chex for Shreddies. Madness lies that way. Do what i do. Go to Canada every few months, fill a U-Haul with Shreddies, and when they stop you at the border and ask what you have in the U-Haul, reply “Shreddies”.

I forgot to DVR Magic's comedy central special. Please mail me a written transcript.

It’s in the mail. But it’s handwritten. That OK?

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!~

Were you the guy in the hat?

Can you keep calling us viewers and turn this into a TV show?

Yes. But then you will be called listeners.

We hope you’re OK with That.

using mini pretzels to scoop up cold, salted whipped butter or philadelphia cream cheeze in the foil package.

Good, and good for you.

trail mix. just trail mix.

Also correct.

suggestion . 100 grand bar. dylan from long island

Correct.

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.

You are right. Consider this knowledge spewed all over Magic’s face.

Cereal?

Of course.

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

Graham, we have taken this one to the staff to vote on, because most of them live on Ramen noodles a s a MEAL. There is a lot of anger over here.

A lot.

You two are the peanut butter and jelly of podcasts :)

You are the red velvet lady of tumblr :)

Terra Chips?

You tell us.

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.)

Good. Very good.

Very very good.

How about Drake's Coffee Cake? Fuck everybody not on the East Coast.

Dammit, Jake, where you been?

you guys are the best. the best, i say. tortilla chips and salsa soon?

Why, thanks, see. Glad we’re not flapping our gums in vain!

Dry breakfast cereal. A true test to see which is the best without milk. I know this isn't a question, but im also not a viewer.

Right on both counts.

can you get Stella back together and tour North America?

Yes of course.

Now do you think for your viewers, and I know we are not viewers, you would ever make a MATES video special? In effect making us viewers.

Tricky. Possible. But real black hole stuff.

Olaf says we are up for a live show in December. So there’s that.

Why doesn't the show "Ed" show up on Netflix?

Not good enough.

Did the box of snacks I sent from Japan ever arrive? Was that where you guys got the Japanese snack from the previous episode? I don't remember what all I put in the box when I sent it.

Yes, and thank you!

Crackers (any kind) with mustard. Turkish Delight microwaved with original Maira teabuiscits. And, if you find the individual snacks from this type o category to be unworthy, a Willy Wonka wacky combo of snacks. These are just a few of what snacks I eat when I'm at the movies or a school play. Try to see if you can pick one of these and try em out. Good job, Mike for making me laugh on "I love the __s" and Very Famous. And Tom, thanks for bieng one of the few great things Canada's ever made.

“movies or a school play”. Strong sentence.

And we thank you for your kindnesses.

PS. Hubble arm. And hockey.

I haven't listened since the Crunch Crunch episode. What have I missed; anything good?

You have missed a lot.

Nothing good.

Ok, what I have for you is the loblolly, as passed down from one fat family member to another. Take a tall glass and fill it with your favorite cookie (I strongly recommend oatmeal cookies or, my favorite, Nutter Butters). Break them up, so you can pack'em in. Then fill the glass up with 2% or whole milk (because skim is for French people). Stir it up and start eating. You could also use birthday cake, but that's pretty pro. I'm not sure you guys are ready for that.

Hahaha! “Not sure you guys are ready for that”! Hahahaha!!! Oh, that’s good! That’s rich, Thanks for that one. Nice going, indeed. Whew. good stuff.

When I was a kid and my mom would take me to the movies, she would always buy me the same snack. This was so engrained into my brain that I now buy them solely out of habit every time I go to the movies. I'm curious how a couple pros feel about this obligatory snack in my world. So if you get a chance, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the iconic SNOCAPS! I'd send you some if I wasn't a cheap and lazy bastard. Love, NickG

Look Nick, lets be clear: we’re ALL cheap and lazy bastards here. I am not a fan of the “pebbly” top ‘o the SNOCAP. Doesn’t mean it won’t get its own podcast, tho

I've been an avid listener since the Muffinsode.I stood idly by when you PETERed Crudites. I watched as you reviewed Third Degree Burn Scorchin' Habanero Doritos. I said nothing when you did Meanies. But now I must speak up: who the fuck wants to hear you two blab about Tato Skins?

The viewers.

My in-laws are from PA and I'm often subjected to Butterscotch Krimpets. Not only did the expired snack fail to kill you, but it sounds like it gave you a very accurate impresson of its so-called "fresh" counterpart; spongy, shimmering fish oil pastries. Also, my kids are Yogi Bear fans and I secretly imagine Tom busting out his pissed-off Teddy Graham impersonation whenever they watch it. Has no one suggested Easy Cheese yet? How about ants on a log (celery, PB and raisins)?

No, the krimpet just about did us in. Until we did the guac episode, and THAT just about killed me. Clearly, the snack game is volatile and menacing, and occasionally covered in fish oil. Might very well be time for ants on a log. Or maybe some raisins ‘n PB on celery.

Your episode on the Take 5 bar was really amazing. I have shared it with several co-workers and now everyone is eating them! Remember that with great power... Anyway here it is: you need to do an episode on the Chunky bar.

With great power…what?! WHAT?! With great power comes great…WHAT? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???!!!!!

Yeah, Chunky bar. Yep.

Any chance of a video podcast in the future?

Olaf says we are due for a live show in December.

I happened to like "Greasy Box"

Good, right?

Stewed prunes (not the bite sized ones)-- eh? Please? Easy on the taste buds AND the ol' G.I. tract!

This is so crazy, ‘cuz Magic and i enjoy a huge helping of stewed prunes after every podcast!

Have you ever considered doing any animal snacks? Snack treats for pets, etc.

We have not.

say something about Ed. talk about Ed.

On the podcast? Or now? Because, indirectly, i’m doing it right now.

I have a wacko snacko that involves Wonka Bars and Sour Cream and Onion Pringles. ..I know. But the sweet to salty-sour ratio is fairly bitchin'. I'll see MIB at Cobb's. Is it weird to give him each of these things to try?

It’s only weird if you do it in the middle of his act. Actually, go ahead.

After the Burleigh reference, isn't it about time you did a roader to Kingston to enjoy some Canadian snacks, such as Bubba's poutine (RIP Lino's)? Wheesh...

You don’t have to go to K-town to enjoy Cdn snacks. You know that. Hell, i had two helpings ‘o poutine last night.

RIP Lino’s, and their “peanut butter sandwich”…

keep up the rad work! You guys cheer me up when I'm down. Thanks for that. my friend showed me your podcast in around june 2010, and I've been viewing ever since. I know, I've been listening. pew pew pew. storm troopers hittin' the ground. xx <3

thanks for watching (heh, heh, we all get a kick outta that, don’t we…)

I don't have an interesting question to ask, but I do have a snack suggestion! Please, at some point, review Gummy Tummies from Trader Joe's (unless they aren't a compelling enough snack to make an entire episode out of, that is).

Heard dat.

Hi there, I would like to send you some fresh Tastykakes. I feel like you were robbed of what is usually a nice snacking experience. Would that be acceptable or have you put them off for good? I would be sending my favorite, which are peanut butter kandy kakes. They're superior to krimpets anyway. Please let me know. p.s. I did a tomato soup and turkey hoagie janelli earlier and it was such a nice experience. I highly recommend.

Send. Whaddaya think we’re made of stone?

I'm making(baking?) you boys something special but I need to know the best time to have it sent to MATES HQ. What day is best for sending treats, especially those that should be eaten when most fresh?

tuesday. Morning.

In one of the early episodes Tom went out of his way to distinguish you from the "Snack game glitterati." Now you've got your Paste Magazine Top 10 lists, your guest stars on the podcast, and ostensibly your embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions, although they haven't yet been viewed. Where did it all go so wrong for Mike & Tom Eat Snacks?

Oh, it went wrong in the early episodes. About the time we opened our mouths, it went wrong. It was largely inevitable, i think, but thank you for noticing.

This is a statement than an ask. Poor grammar aside, here is my snack suggestion. It was a cold cold winter's day in mid-Missouri and a conception/inception was done with the limited resources found. Thus "Droppings in the Snow" was made (1 Wheat Thin+some vanilla icing+Nestle semi-sweet morsels). One variation of the classic snack is "Droppings in the Mud", which merely requires a change from vanilla icing to chocolate icing, maintain Wheat Thins. If you want gourmet, go to the snow/mud

OK. But that seemed a bit like an ask, not just a statement.

SESAME STICKS!!!!?

STOP YELLING AT US!!!!?

Maybe you could make a spin off called Mike & Tom Eat Snakes?

But people wouldn’t know it was a spinoff because it would still be called MATES…

I know you mentioned Petit Écolier in one podcast, but you should do a whole show on them!

Exactly.

What are your favorite podcasts? Not pots that you're casting, though we know that would be entertaining.

I go with copper, because i am strong. Magic is weak, so he just tosses aluminum, and occasionally cutlery, which of course doesn’t count and only makes him look foolish.

We are not plugging superior podcasts on this site, because we are petty.

A spin-off podcast called MEATS in which Mike Eats And Tom Snacks. Obviously all food products will be meat based.

Obviously. Wait, the snacks, too?

Oct 31, 20112 notes

Hi! Please do a tall glass of milk. Either skim or 2%. Your preference. For obvious reasons, I cannot send a gallon of milk in the mail.

What is the obvious reason?

The postal service can’t ship milk?

Is that it?

For your one year anniversary, a piece of wedding cake, straight from the freezer--it's a snack many have enjoyed and give insight on whether the snack worth being married for a year.

Send the cake.

Quick question: who the hell is making these Tato Skins? I hadn't heard of them, so I googled them. The only result I got was one type made by Keebler's filthy fucking elven goldbricks, but those apparently haven't been produced since the early to mid-nineties.

A Matey sent those in, i believe. We just blindly eat everything sent to us, because that’s smart.

eat these: nutella + american cheese. or grilled cheese sammich.

What? What? What the hell are you talking about?!

What?
