Snacks are normally chosen beforehand by Mike and Tom, though sometimes only one will choose a snack and surprise the other (called a whacko-snacko), or they will eat a snack sent in by the fans (who are not viewers).
But that's really an excuse for Mike and Tom to engage in [[SeinfeldianConversation lengthy conversations]] about their B-list celebrity careers, their families, pop culture, Hollywood, and other miscellainious topics. Sometimes those stories are true, often they're lies that they make up on the spot.

''Mike & Tom Eat Snacks'' (or MATES) is a {{Podcast}} created in 2010 by friends Michael Ian Black and Creator/TomCavanagh, who wanted to work together on a project since their time on ''Series/{{Ed}}''.
Every episode Mike and Tom employ the PER system, they Pick a snack, Eat a snack, and Rate a snack on a ten-point scale. Snacks are normally chosen beforehand by Mike and Tom, though sometimes only one will choose a snack and surprise the other (called a whacko-snacko), or they will eat a snack sent in by the fans (who are not viewers).

Sometimes those stories are true, often they're lies that they make up on the spot.
Mike and Tom originally ran the podcast themselves, but [[NoodleIncident something happened]] to their money, and they had to be picked up by Podcast/NerdistPodcast. Since then the show has been subject to increasing ScheduleSlip problems.
