EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A WHITE WHALE INTO THE PEQUOD. IT'S HELL'S HEART AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I STRIKE AT THEE ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, ISHMAEL.

I really want MBMBAM to switch with Oh No Ross and Carrie. Although Sawbones would be good for that switch, too.

So the eating in the totinos episode does calm down after the beginning? I only got a few minutes in and had to turn it off, but I really want to listen to it.
I regularly listen to MBMBAM at 1.5x speed in Overcast (with Smart Speed), and completely didn't notice any eating sounds. So if you have that app you may have a solution, or else try playing a little faster in another app?

Damned if the advertising tactic didn't work, I've got a mad craving for some Totino's® brand pizza rolls. Unfortunately, in the two stores I've visited, all I could find were some Michelina® brand pizza 'snax', which immediately turned to ash upon touching my mouth. I don't even know if Totino's® is sold up here in the Great White North.

They aren't. I'm guessing that a Pillsbury Pizza Pop or McCain Pizza Pocket approximates the experience, on a macro level. Pillsbury is owned by General Mills, just as Totino's is, after all.

Each corporate plug they do per money zone is $200, so... yeah.

$200 is for one-time commercial Jumbotron messages, basically like personal messages but for a product. They're pretty occasional, usually somebody's podcast or new CD or whatever. Ongoing plugs like NatureBox or SquareSpace or whatever are handled differently... no idea how exactly rates compare though. http://maximumfun.org/jumbotron

To give a frame of reference, Daring Fireball is a website with 4-5 million webpage views per month, with 200,000+ feed subscribers, 78,000+ Twitter followers and he currently charges $9,500 for a one-week exclusive sponsorship of the RSS feed.

For his latest podcast, he was selling two sponsorships per episode at $2500 each, back when it started 3 years ago. Those ad reads are pretty similar to MBMBaM in length/depth.

If you have an M&M Meats in your area their pizza rolls are incredible and also nearly the size of an actual egg roll.

Most grocery stores have some generic pizza rolls in with the appetizers, not the pizza.

M&Ms have pretty good pizza rolls, depending on where you are here in Canadia.

I've never wanted a pizza roll more in my life.

If they're not a regular frozen garbage food there, maybe you and the guy in Australia can make your own? Can you get eggroll shells? Put pizza filling in that + fry. That's a pizza roll.

Bribe a local Chinese restaurant to help if you must.

Just to follow up, looks like M&M carries egg-roll sized pizza rolls but also Totino's-sized pepperoni bites.

As for the flavor-blasting it's just pepperoni pizza rolls in a flavor powder. If it's anything like Taco Bell Doritos Locos I imagine it should be a hard pass anyway.

Pretty sure it's pre-blasted for maximum rph : prep time ratio.

Need to flavor blast a non-Totinos foodstuff in a hurry? Dump a bag of smashed Doritos on the floor, rub it in that and eat the mess off of the floor like an animal.

This is all amazing advice. If there's one thing I'm always looking for, it's new ways to ruin my body with food-like chemicals.

Hey, seeing as this is the non-official MaxFun thread, the next International Waters looks like it may have both Keith Powell (a.k.a. "Toofer" from 30 Rock) and Ingrid Oliver (a.k.a "Osgood" from Doctor Who.)

No, you don't understand, I can probably make a pizza roll or buy an Australian brand version (though apparently it means a sandwich?), but I want Totino's. I want that specific brand of garbage.

also what are eggroll shells? As an ESL living in Australia all the culinary terms are confusing.

Eggrolls are already that pretty much. They're as American as hot pockets.

In fact sticking pepperoni in it would be more in line with American Chinese food tradition than not. "Stick meats in there, fry it" has been the motto more or less for s while

The history of americanized chinese food is interesting in that they pretty much had to make the food more garbage-y in order to make it sell at all.
