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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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".

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!
