Derek and Tim Eat Snacks

This week on the DATEScast, Derek is rich now and Tim refuses to be funny, so the end of the podcast is imminent. But before they wrap things up forever, they want to make sure to rate every cereal they can because, as everyone knows, cereal is a snack, Craig. Our snackologists are ready to do their job (well, Tim is, Derek is rich so he doesn't care) and PER this week's snack, Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie Cereal.

This week on the DATESCAST, they're doing it. They're actually doing it. This week, thanks to a line uttered by WWE wrestler AJ Styles like some sort of open challenge, the guys are picking, eating, and rating the combination of Grits and M&Ms. Yes, I'm serious. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & CFO$ (@CFOSOfficial) Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, Tim and Derek prepare to be cancelled. They also discuss how hard it is to support brands that do terrible things. Like when Snickers makes a brownie. That's a spoiler. This week, our dynamic duo is picking, eating, and rating Snickers Peanut Brownie Squares. We know...the peanut is redundant. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & The Rolling Stones Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, Tim and Derek are once again trying to figure out how to parent in a pandemic. But this time on this episode, they are taking some time for themselves. This snack isn't for the viewers or the listeners...it's for the snackologists in all of us. (DISCLAIMER: you are not certified to rate snacks and are not an actual snackologist) The dynamic duo is picking, eating, and rating Barton's Peanut Butter and Jelly Cups. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & T.I. (@Tip), Young Thug, & Young Dro Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, Tim and Derek discuss the snacks they're doing as homework that have let them down. Because when they're not PERing on the podcast, they're PERing in real life. And when it comes to this week's snack, they didn't choose it...it chose them. Your favorite snackologists are picking, eating, and rating Totino's Takis Mini Snack Bites. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Ohio Players Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, it's a new year but with the same ol' Nazis. While Tim and Derek lament about not being able to retire their sign off, they still find great joy in dick shaped snacks. And by the way...cereal is a snack, Craig. For the first PER of 2021, the boys are rating a long awaited snack that may be a little past its best by date but really they're good forever. It's time to finally try Hostess Twinkies Cereal. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Gillette Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, it's Christmas Day (WINK) and the end of our 12 DATES of Christmas. Derek discusses how his wife has been actively working against him on Operation: Secret Santa, and Tim talks about toys he's preordered. Our snacking experts also provide some parental advice on that damn Elf on a Shelf and slowing down the gift opening on Christmas Day. But at the end of the day and the year, we just all want to settle in with a glass of coquito and a nice snack. This week, we are picking, eating, and rating Pillsbury Hot Cocoa Cookie Dough. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Tom Hanks (@tomhanks) Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, it's Christmas Eve, the presents are wrapped, and the stockings are hung by the chimney with care, so that means it's time to snack. After a holiday season of hard work and under appreciation, our snackologists kick back with a mug of coquito and bask in all of the hard work they've done...rating snacks. So for the 11th day of our 12 DATES of CHRISTMAS, our holiday heroes are PERing Angie's Hot Cocoa Marshmallow Flavored Kettle Corn. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Kids See Ghosts Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, the 12 DATES of CHRISTMAS are coming to an end soon, and despite all of their differences this holiday season our snackologists are actually starting to grow closer. They reminisce over the past holiday specials and commercials from their childhoods while refusing to choose sides in a modern day war over Fruity vs Coco Pebbles. But on day 10 of the 12 DATES of CHRISTMAS, we pay homage to one of GOAT cereals by picking, eating and rating in its newest holiday form, Fruity Pebbles Cereal 'N Candy Snowmen. Forget what we said earlier...this is the most divisive snack in the history of this podcast. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Ella Fitzgerald Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, Derek is treading on thin ice as our snackologists discuss DC Comics and films. Tim reveals his shockingly shallow origin story with DC and confirms he's just in it for The Bats. But in honor of the new film Wonder Woman 1984 releasing on Christmas Day and since there will be nothing else to do, our dynamic duo is spending day nine of our 12 DATES of CHRISTMAS picking, eating, and rating Wonder Woman Sweet Tart Ropes. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & The Not Ready for Prime Time Players Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, it is day eight of our 12 DATES of CHRISTMAS and lines have once again been drawn. Our viewers have made the clear decision about who is the heel and who is the baby face on this podcast. Regardless of the division that Tim's child is causing, our snackologists try to pick and eat a little healthier as they rate this week's snack, a variety of Kodiak Cakes Crunchy Granola Bars. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Darlene Love Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, we're losing our minds just a little. It's day seven of our 12 DATES of CHRISTMAS and our snackologists can't agree on anything anymore. Especially not contemporary Christmas music vs traditional classics. But like any good family, they put their differences aside to pick, eat, and rate this week's snack, Lucky Charms Soft Baked Bars. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Zedd, Maren Morris, & Grey Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, it's day six of our 12 DATES of CHRISTMAS, which coincides with Festivus! Or "Phoestivus" for our heroes as they lament about their annual holiday farmer's market in Phoenix being shut down. But don't fret...there are plenty of grievances to air and feats of strength to accomplish on this episode. Our snackologists try to end 2020 healthy and act maturely while picking, eating, and rating Peanut Butter & Jelly Frooze Balls. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Aaron Gage Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, it's day five of our 12 DATES of CHRISTMAS and our snackologists are talking about how much better toys were when they were made by people high on cocaine. You don't need to be high on cocaine or travel through the snow uphill both ways to get this week's snack rating. In our honor of the Founder and Proprietor of The Steel Cage dot com and his calves, and because he sent them to us, we are picking, eating, and rating Cow Tales. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Gayla Peevey

This week on the DATESCAST, things are getting spicy after all of last week's insults. But Tim and Derek don't lose their cool on day four of the 12 DATES of CHRISTMAS, or their cherished CD collections. They popped the faces off their car stereos and brought them in for security reasons before picking, eating, and rating this week's snack, Ritz Crisp & Thin Tabasco Flavored Wheat Chips. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Fitz & the Tantrums (@FitzAndTantrums) Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, do you remember the 90s? Because after Tim berates Derek for his dangerous excursions during a global pandemic, our snackologists spend like 50 minutes talking about it before they even get to the snack. Grab your Tamagotchi and your POGS for this third day of our 12 DATES OF CHRISTMAS. Our festive duo of snacking pick, eat, and rate the classic treat known as Dunkaroos. Never forget that Duncan the Kangaroo died for our sins (and because of diabetes). Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Mariah Carey (@mariahcarey) Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, we're cutting straight to the chase just like this week's snack. It's day two of our 12 DATES OF CHRISTMAS and we're picking, eating, and rating Muddy Bites Bite-Sized Waffle Cones. Because life is just too short to waste on eating anything other than "the nugget". Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Run-DMC (@OfficialRunDMC) Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, we kickoff our 12 DATES OF CHRISTMAS with our sad snackologists reminiscing over a year and a Hawaiian vacation lost due to COVID-19. Maybe we'll look back at it and say "I was there". Maybe we'll learn to appreciate our dude vacations a little bit more. Or maybe, just maybe, we will say "at least we got to try that giant bag of first class airline nuts". Because on this week's episode, the dynamic duo of snacking is picking, eating, and rating American Airlines First Class Aloha Mixed Nuts. Sure we didn't get to dig our toes in the sands of Waikiki, but the Pina Colada Pecans are a comforting consolation prize.

This week on the DATESCAST, it is once again spooky season and time for our annual SCAREK AND GRIM'S HALLOWEEN SNACKTACULAR! Strap in and dress up as our snackologists Tim Nook and Macho Man Derek Savage put their lives on the line to once again bring you ratings on the finest snacks in all of Halloween Town.

This week on the DATESCAST, nothing means nothing. Our snackologists attempt to have a cup of coffee in the big time and show that they have more to offer than President Jack Tunney thinks that they got. They're in a position they'd rather not be in, but the cream will rise to the top to honor a childhood hero and his iconic snack sidekick. On this episode dedicated to the one and only Macho Man Randy Savage, our Towers of Power that are too sweet to be sour are picking, eating, rating, and snapping into Savage Slim Jims. Oooooooooooooooooh yeah. Dig it!

Our snackologists are trying Chocolate, Strawberry, and Apple Doughnut Bites and Original Glazed Mini Crullers.

Listen up, all you cool cats and kittens. This week on the DATESCAST, Tim and Derek are not going to rate a snack cake based on a dated Netflix series that took the world by storm and possibly led to a murderer being invited to a televised dance competition. Instead, they're going to rate TWO snack cakes based on said Netflix series that took the world by storm. As we prepare for tigers to go back to their home planet, we are picking, eating and rating Hostess Twinkie Tiger Tails and CakeBites Tiger Cakes. Smother yourself in sardine oil and prepare to snack along.

This week on the DATESCAST, Tim's family tries to come between him and this podcast while Derek reveals the small amount of knowledge he has comes from the Animaniacs. But at the end of the day, they blame all of their problems on home schooling and still find time between serving lunches to pick, eat, and rate this week's snack, Bomb Pop Middles. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Stealers Wheel & RZA Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, Tim and Derek talk about Juicy Lucy's and compare working as a stripper to working for the WWE as a pro wrestler. They also breakdown and rank dips as a tie in to this week's snack, that has nothing to do with dips except in title. This time around, the dynamic duo of designations are picking, eating, and rating Skittles Dips. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Freak Nasty Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, Tim compliments Derek on his ability to go anywhere he wants and our dynamic duo discuss the Mayor of Reseda origin story...again. So of course this inevitably leads to a discussion about DC Comics and Batman. But it's time to put down your cape and your Dunkaroos and PER along with this week's snack, Wilde Chicken Breast Chips. Does Wilde deliver with their Chicken & Waffles and Nashville Hot flavors? Find out on an all-new snacking adventure. Also, don't PER without certification. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & The Trashmen Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, Tim and Derek relive some of their worst ideas and yearn for classic Pizza Huts complete with sneeze guards on the salad bar and The Land Before Time puppets for the kids and Tim. They also debate whether or not Derek is actually The Super Spreader with his recent staycation. But regardless of who is going to get COVID-19 first, our snackologists still find time to PER a classic snack/snack ingredient, Nougat. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Shonen Knife Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, they've finally done it. They've reached episode 100, officially usurping Mike & Tom as the greatest snackologists of all time. If you weren't able to join us for the commencement speech from the balcony, listen as they recall one of the greatest days of their lives: the day Derek got free Peanut Butter M&Ms at the Rose Bowl Parade. In honor of this momentous occasion, they are picking, eating, and rating a simple and classy snack, A Wooden Spoon Dipped in Peanut Butter and M&Ms. Thank you all for joining us on this ride, and by "you all" we mean Craig. Here's to the next 100 snack ratings. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, it's episode 99 so you've heard all their stories. Tim talks about the time he broke his nose at a water park, pooping on slides, and other general nonsense that will make you never go to a public swimming area again. Meanwhile, Derek definitely has coronavirus. But they still take the time to pick, eat, and rate not one but two Sour Patch snacks on this week's mega episode: Sour Patch Chips Ahoy and Emma Gregston's Sour Patch Rice Krispie treats. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Stone Temple Pilots Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, the world isn't great right now, and neither are Tim and Derek. Infighting on the group chat is causing a rift between our snackologists and the only cure is rating snacks. But that's not what they're about...it's just what they do. They're about respect for women, which is hard to come by these days on social media. They talk about all of the bad and the very bad in the world, but they also find time to PER this week's snack, the Kinder Bueno bar. Will this melting pot of hazelnut love be enough to fix this podcast? Find out on an all-new DATES! Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Angel Haze (@angelhaze) Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, Tim and Derek are stepping into the squared circle, but it's not to fight each other (even though Tim has it coming). They are facing off with the cookies from professional wrestler/snack doctor Erick Stevens and his company, Kookies and Kreme Sarasota. Regardless of the opponent, our snackologists are getting their asses handed to them by the half pound Easter Leftovers cookies that they are rating on this episode. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & A Day to Remember Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, Tim is driving Derek nuts with his foley work, and both snackologists are driving their children nuts with their inability to be good school teachers. But they're not about teaching children, that's just what they do. They're about respect for women and other phrases they stole from Mike and Tom. That includes the PER system, which they utilize to rate this week's snack, Cheetos Flavor Shots Flamin' Hot Asteroids. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & YBN Cordae & Meek Mill Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATESCAST, it's Easter and Derek's daughter's birthday and a pandemic. Aka the Perfect Storm. How will he survive this? He probably won't. But his fellow snackologist Tim is here to pick him up, tell him his voice sounds nice, and most importantly eat snacks with him even during a crisis. And during this holiday season, our Hot Boys are feeling spicy so they are rating Hot Tamales Peeps. Why do these two things belong together? We don't know, but find out now. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Missy Elliot Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATEScast, Derek is already dreaming of replacing Tim with MIB and moving to Hollywood for the celebrity services. But while they are still a duo and have friends in Australia, they still have to try disgusting snacks from Down Under. This week, the guys pick, eat, and rate Shapes Vegemite and Cheese Crackers. It doesn't help repair their relationship. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Men At Work Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATEScast, it's no big deal but Mike from MATES stops in to talk about the end of the world and how the A-List through D-List celebrities are all going to make it out of this coronavirus situation alive. He also predicts what percentage of this podcast is going to survive and gives us an update on both Tom's whereabouts and his involvement in the Daredevil & Flash - Tango & Cash - Turner & Hooch - Saving Evan Hansen shared cinematic universe. But most importantly he's here to PER this week's snack with his favorite Institute interns Derek & Tim, which happens to be the peanut butter cookie classic Nutter Butter. (Seriously, guys...this is the pinnacle of this podcast. It's never going to get better than this episode. It's all downhill from here.) Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Special Guest: Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Iggy Azalea (@IGGYAZALEA) Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATEScast...EPISODE XCII: IT ALL STARTED WITH SWEDISH FISH...our heroes are stranded in their own homes because of the coronavirus outbreak. But that will not stop them from giggling about the name Dick's Sporting Goods. It also won't stop them from boldly going where no man has gone before. Or something like that. They make the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs to pick, eat, and rate Nestle Star Wars Millennium Falcon Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches. Is double vanilla too much vanilla? Does an Ewok ever get full on stormtrooper face? And is it Han or Han? Answer all these questions we will. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & John Williams Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATEScast, Derek is sick with possibly the coronavirus and Tim is his number one suspect. After arguing about who got who sick and who drank more at Jared's wedding, our snackologists make up just in time to pick, eat and rate this last remaining shred of evidence from the Jew-C's bachelor party, La Belle Creole Creamy Pralines. Or PRAHHHlines, as Tim makes everyone say it. Remember, nobody saves room for sweets in New Orleans. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & The Darkness (@thedarkness) Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATEScast, Tim and Derek are in the same place at the same time. While they have been brought together by their love for snacks and their hatred of Nazis in the past, they're brought together this time by their friend 'A-Bomb' Adam Hess. Their very own "Uncle Traveling Matt" has lived an adventure filled life, while our heroes have lived a cream-filled life. However, these two factors come together as Adam has supplied this week's snack all the way from down under. We are picking, eating, and rating a limited edition snack only available in Australia for some unknown reason, Kripsy Kreme Rick & Morty Donuts. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Jermaine Clement (@AJermaineClement) Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATEScast, Derek and Tim are airing their grievances with Ben. Jerry is cool apparently. While on the topic, the duo debate supporting people who produce things you like even though they may be terrible people. But after all is said and done, we're really here for one reason: to pick, eat, and rate Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Chunks, Half Baked Chunks, and Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Chunks. Bring a poncho if you're a viewer. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Q-Tip (@QtipTheAbstract) Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATEScast, it's Girl Scout Cookie season, folks. And Derek is here to fulfill all of your cookie needs and desires while promising not to say "goddamn" so much in honor of one of our favorite viewers. Goddamn it, we did it again. Anyway, once you've purchased your cookies and listened to Tim tell all of the secrets from Jared's bachelor party, check out our snackologists' ratings of this week's non-cookie Girl Scout snack, Thin Mint Almonds.

This week on the DATEScast, Tim and Derek are back from a long week off and are ready to ring in the New Year of 2020 the only way they know how: with snacks. Our dynamic duo is putting the past behind them, which includes both of their junior prom dates, and they are now looking to the future, which happens to involve a new form of art they've coined Cannabis on Canvas. For the first rating of the roaring 20's, the guys are picking and eating Trader Joe's Champagne Gummy Candies. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Oasis Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATEScast, Tim and Derek are thankful for a lot of things during this time of the year. They're thankful for good friends, even ol' "Triceratops Penis" Jared, and good snacks. But they're most thankful for the adventure this podcast has taken them on, including the adventure of trying to obtain this week's very elusive snack. After three years of failing to wake up on time, our snackologists are finally picking, eating, and rating Pringles Friendsgiving Feast featuring the majestic Turducken made of potato chips. Six flavors in all, including turkey, chicken, duck, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and last but certainly not least...pumpkin pie. Whether you're a viewer or a listening, we're most thankful for you.

This week on the DATEScast, Tim and Derek prepare for the upcoming feasting holiday the only way they know how: by making childish dick jokes. But what should you expect when this week's snack is nuts? No matter the shape of your penis, we welcome you to join the dynamic duo of snacking as they pick, eat, and rate Planter's A1 Roasted Mix Nuts. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATEScast, Tim and Derek talk about really fun things like racial awkwardness and the social treatment of people with learning disabilities. But there's also plenty of dick jokes and digs on Nazis to help balance out your usual viewing experience. They also take the time to PER this week's noble snack, Best Buddies No Name Cakes from Mod Pizza. Is it as good as its predecessor? It might be even better. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & The Temptations Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATEScast, it's time for our annual HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR! Our gruesome twosome Grim and Scarek don't even have time to banter because they have been procrastinating. Instead of celebrating and rating delicious Halloween treats throughout October, our snackologists are fitting an entire month's worth of reviews INTO A SINGLE NIGHT. Tim picked it, so you know the rest. We are PERing Wednesday's Webcakes from IHOP, the Boo Batter Trick Or Treat Creation from Cold Stone Creamery, and the Count Chocula Pizookie from BJ's Brewhouse! Oh, and just for fun, we are also rating Creepy Cocoa Crisp M&Ms and Zombie Skittles!! Why would we do this? And why were we actually dressed up as Hopper from Stranger Things and Russell from Up? WE DON'T KNOW! Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan, Vic Mizzy, Marcy Playground, & Bobby Pickett Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATEScast, Tim and Derek warn you to never trust a crying child or John Harvey Kellogg. Our dynamic duo discuss Kellogg's All Together cereal and ask the question "Are segregated cereals really ALL TOGETHER?" They also take the time to pick, eat, and rate a cultural phenomenon in Baby Shark cereal. Is it worthy of the name Baby Shark? And why are you even reading this description? Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Pinkfong Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATEScast, Tim invites Derek into his worst idea ever. With the closing of dine-in Pizza Hut locations across the country, Tim's feelings of nostalgia has placed our dynamic duo in danger yet again. In one of the worst parts of town in a deserted dining room where the employees might murder them before anyone else gets a chance to, our snackologists are PERing Cheez-It Stuffed Pizza from Pizza Hut. Is another ambitious food brand crossover enough to save the dine-in Pizza Huts? No, no it's not. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & The Talking Heads Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATEScast, Tim and Derek discuss having international recording star and nerdcore legend Mega Ran put over this podcast during one of this shows. They also talk about regional delicacies from Arizona that nobody wants. But one of those very delicacies has been integrated into this week's snack, and it may just be enough to change Derek's opinion forever. Our snackologiststs are PERing Kettle Heroes Prickly Pear Kettle Corn. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Baloo the Bear Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATEScast, Tim and Derek are feuding over pizza takes online and levels upon levels of disrespect being shown through social media. But they put their differences aside to do their job as snackologists and agree on one thing: people need to stop using the moon for financial gains. In a move that comes way past the deadline for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, our heroes are picking, eating, and rating Moonberry Twinkies. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & Sir Paul McCartney Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATEScast, Tim and Derek take a field trip to a local Krispy Kreme to discuss scientific innovations in snacking, or the lack thereof. But even for a company who freezes donuts and sends them to their stores to be ran through a heated glaze waterfall, Krispy Kreme has something special going on when it comes to filled donuts. No longer do we have to suffer through holeless jelly-style donuts! Krispy Kreme is filling your holes in ways you can't even imagine, and on this week's show our heroes PER the pinnacle of this innovation: Reese's Chocolate Lovers and Peanut Butter Lovers Krispy Kreme donuts. These two companies are showing the world how to do cross-branded promotional snacks right.

This week on the DATEScast, Tim and Derek once again discuss the rise of deepfake videos, or do they? Is it even Tim & Derek? How do you know? While they do recommend trusting your gut and not your eyes in the future, they do not recommend controlling your diabetes with tequila. We would like to recommend that you pick & eat but do NOT rate along (since you're not a certified snackologist) with this week's snack, Mega Stuf Oreo Os cereal. Leave the rating part to the professionals. Featuring: Derek Montilla (@cap_kaveman) & Tim Agne (@timagne) Music by: Polly Hall & Andrew Barkan & G. Love & Special Sauce Inspired by: Mike and Tom Eat Snacks

This week on the DATEScast, Tim and Derek discuss the life of excess that is Las Vegas, from the food to the drinking to the gambling and more.
