Uh oh: ya boys are out here bending the limits of the podcasting medium again. In this episode, the closing segment begins at the same time as the cold open as we debut a new episode-long game: Hidden Objectives.
But don't worry, we've got questions for you as well: What should we say to people when they have the hiccups? And at what point does a snack become a meal, legally speaking?
And, oh yeah: Matt shares a very special announcement.

All right, and that'll about do that and bring us to our closing segment for the day. We made it. We made it through. We made it. We made it through. You all were very patient. Psyche! Gotcha! You thought that something was a foot, eh?
Eric:Do not adjust your podcast machine. No, no. Keep those dials set to you daft. Yeah, you are still fucking fresh in this shit.
Matt:Nah, it is the cold open, but it is also the closing segment. Ooh. Ooh, what's going on there? Opposite day. So here's what's going on. Yeah. We're trying something again, folks. Just to see how it feels. You know how we are. We're silly. We just like to take this medium and and bend the rules to our whim.
Eric:Truly push it to the edges of what is legally and morally acceptable. Or even possible. Or even possible. Or even theoretical degenerates.
Matt:Absolutely we are. Are we are we not mythmakers? Are we not lords? Are we not boundary busters? Well, here we go, kids. Here we go, children. We're gonna be playing a little game called Hidden Objectives. I think that's what we're calling it. That's what we're calling it? Yeah, that's what that's what we're calling. Hidden Objectives. We have reached out to a loyal friend of the pod who has set for each of us three distinct objectives for us to complete throughout the podcast episode that you are about to hear.
Eric:And the really fun thing here is fun. You're all gonna know what our objectives are. Uh we respectively are not. Matt will not know mine, I will not know his.
Matt:But you're gonna know as you listen. You're gonna know so you can play along as well. And then at the end, we're gonna go over it. And for our inaugural version of this radical podcast experiment, we knew we needed to pull the big guns. Isn't that right, Eric? God damn, we needed to come correct. And so that is why we enlisted the help of Mr.
Eric:Zach Deuce. Zach ED, the accomplice for you and me.
Matt:Oh, Eric, you are truly Shakespeare. Yay! Zach, please tell me now what are my hidden objectives?
Zack Deuce:Greetings, Matthew. Your three missions, should you choose to accept them, are slowly shift your opinion until you're arguing the exact opposite of your original stance. Agree with Poach for a full 10 minutes, no matter how bad his take is on a topic. And work in a fake statistic that sounds real but is clearly unverifiable. As always, should you or any member of your Yadap team be doxxed or canceled, the Pod Pod will disavow any knowledge of your action. This message will self-delete in five seconds. Good luck.
Eric:Message deleted.
Matt:Oh, I I accept, Zach. I accept, let me tell you.
Eric:And uh Zachy, if you could just give me uh my objectives, can I get more of my objectives in the monitor?
Zack Deuce:Coach, your missions, should you choose to accept them, are compliment Matt in a way that sounds like an insult. Aim for three during the episode, but can do more if feeling spicy. Refer to a past episode that does not exist. Insist it's real and is beloved by the listeners. And attempt to gaslight Matt that Cheers is an overrated show and in fact not that great. I'll leave the specifics up to you. As always, should you or any member of Yuria DAF team be doxxed or canceled, the Pod Pod will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This message will self-delete in five seconds. Good luck.
Matt:Message deleted. Oh sir, I do accept. Ooh, how perplexing. I sure hope he gave us the same format of audio clips so we uh are in line. Because we don't know. Because we authenticate. We don't know.
Eric:We don't know. We're out here. We're living our truth. We're yes and we are beyond yes and. We're beyond it. We're just and we're just and we're just and and have you already begun. Is this are you attempting to objectify me right now? I don't know, Matt. Is this my real hair? Are you objectifying? I don't know, you handsome son of a bitch. You tell me.
Matt:Now, Eric, we no Eric, come on. We got gather it in. We still have a regular episode to do.
Eric:We it can't all be about the closing segment. We gotta play a cool. I also love that you're gonna be spending the episode like like mind palacing and like calculus flying over your head, analyzing every situation while I am desperately going to try to remember that we are doing this game.
Matt:Yeah, you Eric, you already forgot. I already know that.
Eric:Well, we can't all be as smart as you now, can we, man?
Matt:Oh god, I got this in the bag.
Eric:What? What the fuck do you want? Would you ask are you looking to get kissed? Play it cool. Kissable ass lips, motherfucker.
Matt:All right, Eric's first objective, flirt with Matthew.
Eric:You trying to make out right now, you son of a bitch.
Matt:Eric, we are a we are across the web eventers. We we we certainly are. Anyway, that's the fucking plot of this episode. Start the music. Let's do it!
Eric:Do the thing, do the thing. Oh, hey, and I'm Eric Poach. Eric Poach. Sure. Good. Yeah. Doing great. Yeah. Guess you could say I'm I'm feeling smoking. Guess what I'm gonna do the whole episode.
Matt:Wait, I thought we just what? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing, Eric. I now oh man, I didn't I I'm wondering if you're doing something I didn't anticipate you doing. Um but that's that's an interesting strategy.
Eric:Can we get that on a fucking t-shirt? I did not anticipate you doing something.
Matt:I always I always try to anticipate your movements. I'm like minority report.
Eric:Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you've got precogs in your fucking basement. Ah, yes, thought crime. Um uh what was I gonna say?
Matt:Oh, uh uh ooh, ooh, ooh, nope, lost it. This is gonna be something. This is gonna be something else. We just talked about how we're supposed to be trying to forget that we're even doing this, and here you are just doing stuff I do. Doing ace ventura shit over here. I don't know how else to describe it. Nah, it's fine. It's fine. Just took a photograph of me with a disposable camera from 1997. This you can't be doing visual bits.
Eric:Okay. I'm sorry. That's another t-shirt. You can't be doing visual bits. Oh, that's what I was gonna say. I I saw a ball, we saw a baller ass uh uh uh bumper sticker the other day. It just said honk if you love noise pollution. Phenomenal. That's a great bumper.
Matt and Eric:That's a 10 out of 10.
Matt:That's a 10 out of 10 stupid fucking bumper sticker. So fucking stupid. God, that's amazing. Um, so yeah, here we are. How are you doing, buddy? Uh, I'm good. I'm tired. Um I am very busy. I've been running around like all creation, and you know what? I've I've sort of been hinting at this for a while.
Eric:Go on, say it, you beautiful bitch.
Matt:I'm gonna be a daddy.
Eric:You're gonna be a daddy. That's right. Ladies, lock up shop. He's done, he's cooked, tack. She's Lindsay, got it.
Matt:Mothers, tell your daughters to look elsewhere. Mothers tell your daughters, don't grow up to love a podcaster. No, because you'll end up pregnant.
Eric:Yeah. Yeah. You're you and Lindsay are gonna be Lindsay, a guest of our you knocked up a guest of our show, you son of a bitch. That has to be an HR violation.
Matt:Yes, I mean, well, she already has her own segment, so yeah, I feel like comp and it's the compensation's already there. Oh, we've got a new segment coming for sure. I think we may very well have a new segment coming for sure.
Matt and Eric:Start, sorry, take units. Start the changenow.org petition to name at kid segment. Okay.
Eric:Name it segment. Yeah, yeah. Name your kid segment.
Matt:Segment uh, yeah, so segment segmentists. So, yes, for quite some and of course, if you're in the Patreon, you already know this. You got this information privately in the Discord. Another fabulous reason to Discord.
Eric:There it is.
Matt:Sensitive personal news can be shared on the YouTube. In the orgy dome. In the orgy dome. We have no secrets in the orgy dome. No, no, there can't be. That's consent. Now the hear you're doing well, buddy. Yeah, yeah. So that's that is the big news. Um I do anticipate that later on, you know, we got a couple months to go yet. Uh, we're looking at end of end of May. And so that is probably around the time something will happen. Uh, I think I might who can say I think we we legitimately have not talked about it. I think there could be a guest host or two in my place for an episode or so. We simply don't know. I haven't been a parent and a podcaster at the same time before, and one of those things I've never been.
Eric:We should treat this when you're gone. We should treat it like kind of like the big brother, big sister program, where like I've been like mom and my my dad has left the podcast, and I need I need a positive influence in my life. Co-host figure in your life. I do. I'm because I'm gonna get into trouble. You'll be lost. I'm I'm I'm a trouble to you. I have been trying oh, also for those of you just checking in, you might not know this, you might not be aware. The entire Eastern Seaboard is a fucking ice sheet right now. Yes, well while we are recording, yes, everything is covered in ice, we're locked in. I I've uh staving off boredom has been a challenge. I'm very fortunate to be surrounded by my beautiful cat and video games and my beloved, but I I I've start I don't know if you've started getting stir crazy. No, not really. Have you have you been have you been like pretty chill on the it's when I here's the thing. I could not leave my house for weeks normally. That's gonna be fine.
Matt:But the fact that you can't is what's doing the second my option is taken away, I start No, I think that I do think there's something about that that is uh For sure. Yeah, there's something real about the cabin fever experience.
Matt and Eric:This is cabin fever God, I want to watch Muppet Treasure.
Eric:Uh that's that I'll say this. That has been one of the boons of the of these kind of times for me. I use these times to a re-watch beloved movies and and and shows. Uh-oh.
Matt:We lost him, folks. Well, I guess I have to work on my fatherly advice. So let's see if what's amazing, folks. What's amazing is Eric Poach has just re-entered the chat just as I was getting a bit ready, but his other self is still on my screen. Oh, that's creepy. Can you hear me? Yeah, let me take a oh shit, it just disappeared. I was just gonna take a screenshot. Amelia's two of you on either side of me.
Eric:Amelia jumped down on my computer, which and her paw landed on the power button.
Matt:I can't, I can't fucking believe it. Oh, wait, yes, I can. I can believe it. I'm not I did I did not want to bash your cat for a third straight episode. I didn't I didn't.
Eric:But she, Eric, she's causing problems. I've I've put a I know Amelia is serving Yoko right now. Oh, okay, okay. That uh But I'm gonna need you to oh no you didn't. Just say that about my beloved little kitty. I I I didn't say anything wrong. She's become a hindrance to the production. What are you gonna do? Take good care of your computer shit? I think son of a bitch. What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do to me? What are you gonna do? Eric, I think we both know I take good care of it. Be a responsible equipment owner?
Matt:I think we both know I take good care of my equipment.
Eric:Yes.
Matt:You do. It's inferior. You wanna know why? It's that dad energy. It's that dad.
Eric:Fuck, he's got that B D E already.
Matt:That B D E on lock. It feels like it was. You know what? I think that is a uh is a sign that Amelia said the audience is tired of this personal revelation preamble, and we should get to the questions.
Eric:We should get to the questions.
Matt:All right, thank you for the thank you for the note, Amelia Bedelia. Thank you for the feedback.
Eric:She's responding by hacking up a hairball. Yeah, next time keep it to your fucking self.
Matt:All right, so the so Eric, our first question today is from the the mind of Aaron, who has submitted many a question. This one came to us from the Discord. What should we say to people when they have the hiccups? I.e., bless you for sneezing.
Matt and Eric:Thank you, Aaron.
Matt:Yes, thank you, Aaron. Now, I Eric, you said uh one when we were selecting our questions that you had your eye on this one for a minute. So do you have any burning thoughts you need to get out? Stop it. Stop it.
Eric:Stop it. The hiccups. Stop it! And just just just like a little louder each time until everyone around. Yeah, every time they hiccup, just stop it.
Matt:I thought you were saying something.
Eric:I thought you were telling people they couldn't hiccup. Like I Oh, sorry. Oh no, that is a good point. No, I I I like I like l public escalations of of intensity. Oh yeah, I I definitely agree. And like and at first, like start small, start like hey, could knock at all. Hey, could you stop?
Matt:Oh, start, you're saying start real quiet, like subtle, like you're being like, hey man, you uh you flies down like that energy. Yeah, yes, but then then get hey stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Oh, so you're not even you're not even raising the uh intensity of like calling attention to it. You're you're also getting mad, it seems.
Eric:Oh yeah. I and by but like just just self-contained Stop it!
Matt:Oh, that's good. That's good. So what but how do you some people hiccup for like long period of time? The uh there's like I remember this case of some guy who like hiccup for like 60 years or some shit. Like it's a long, long time. But the I think that's an exception to the rule. I don't think most people suffer that way. But I did read that there like people spend something like 4.3% of their life hiccuping.
Eric:Like, you know, that's a lot when you think of like a lifetime. 4.3 is significant.
Matt:You when you yeah, it's like one of those things that it's like, oh, you spend 10 years standing in line, you know, you know what I mean? Yeah. And so I think we need to account for the fact that this is like a sneeze, if not more prevalent than sneezing.
Eric:Honestly, yeah. And the in the grand scheme, pound for pound, I feel like we probably hiccup more.
Matt:Do you feel like you have constant hiccups? Like how often you hiccuping, I guess, is what I'm trying to say.
Eric:So here's the wild thing. I used to get the hiccups a lot when I was like all the way up till high school, and then since college, I I think the other day I got hiccups and I I had the thought, I think this might be the first time I've hick had hiccups in like over a decade. Really? Which is which is I'm like, I don't know how to how to feel about that. I'm like, is that good? Is that bad? Should I be hiccuping? Is it is it performing like uh Do you need to see a physician?
Matt:Yeah, yeah. Am I gonna die? I don't think so. But I I I think probably there are some people who just don't get the hiccups a lot. Like it's very person-to-person experience. And then there's your Dr.
Eric:Frazier Cranes of the world. They get him for a whole episode. I don't follow. Uh so I was hope uh so I don't follow. I uh the episode of Cheers where Frazier gets hiccups. Oh, okay, okay. I've okay.
Matt:So I was uh I I see what you're saying. I see what you're thinking.
Eric:Yeah. Because before I was so rudely cut off by my cat, uh one of the things I well, not really catching up on, but like while I've been doing cleaning chores around the house to stave off the the the the I've started throwing on episodes of uh cheers. Started throwing episodes of cheers on. Started throwing episodes of cheers on, having nice, nice back.
Matt:Even though I'm supposed to be getting you into Frasier, you start with cheers.
Eric:Well, like started is such a strong word because I'm not like you're not going into order watching cheers. No, I'm literally just like I looked up like a list of like what are some what are what are the what are the bad things? Like the must-wants you should you should watch these. And I I've been I've been having those going on in the background. Yeah.
Matt:Nice. I mean, I do feel like you're skipping over the emotional uh turmoil of losing coach, but I I did have qu I did have questions about that.
Eric:Were the questions what happened to him? Yeah, well, what a what happened? Because I know of course there's like I'm jumping all over the fucking place. So like there are times I'm like, oh, you look you have big was just here for season one energy, or or shit like that. But um I believe it's seasons one, two, and three, maybe head coach.
Matt:That coach is in there, yeah. That makes the actor died, um, is what happened. Uh died between seasons, and so they I'll I'll say this.
Eric:I am I what I will say about this is I am I am really looking forward to your Fraser um watch guide. Oh because Frasier watch guide, yeah.
Matt:I can help you right now start at the pilot and finish the series. Uh yeah, okay, I'll get you a fucking guide.
Eric:I am and and because for you, like Fraser is where like it gets like the Frasier Okay, we have abandoned the question. The Fraser We'll come back to your hiccup. Stop it.
Matt:The Frasier on Cheers, at least uh in the early seasons that Fraser is there, barely resembles the Frasier that is Fraser Crane.
Eric:That's the vibe I get like it feels like a very change his character. I'm remembering bits of of Frasier that I've seen in my lifetime and enjoying them a lot. Like I say this with love, not crazy about cheers. Really? Like, like it's good, like don't get me wrong, it's good. I'm like, okay, I can see, I'm like, this is this is like but like underwhelmed is is kind of the vibe of it. Like, like I'm like, like I I I have had a few moments where I'm like, this is I'm like, because I watched like a con is a con or like a pick a con any con. And like like I saw all these episodes that I've heard talked about for years, and I'm just like, this kind of seems wow an overrated. Wow. But like I take Eric. I say that with like fully acknowledging Cheers' place in the zeitgeist and all of that. Like, sure. Maybe I don't, but I don't even know if it would be a nostalgia goggles thing, because you're it's it wouldn't be like no, I didn't. I wasn't here. Yeah, you weren't you weren't even fucking alive yet. No, girl. I guess I'm missing like I'm what I'm thinking is I might actually need to go back and watch more of those building block episodes because right now just underwhelmed.
Matt:Yeah, I think I think Shears it has enough, it's not like a Seinfeld where you really could just try. Drop in whenever. I think there's enough connective tissue of like the like Sam and Diane's whole uh like dynamic. Like I think if you skip around too much in there, you're gonna miss some of the major strokes.
Eric:Yeah. I need to get some more time with too, because like I've like season one to three, Diane has a vibe, I feel. And then like when the later seasons, she seems way cooler. Yeah, it's almost like characters develop and change over time. I I'm I'm trying not to sound like an unfair dick. But but I am I am, I guess I'm like, I am grateful that I'm like getting some some some cheer. And I and it's making me more excited for Fraser, which I hope is like gets that.
Matt:I think I do think you'll like Fraser better. Okay. I do I I personally think uh pound for pound, joke for joke. I think Fraser is the like funnier show. But that's enough. You you that's enough hiccups. Hiccups. Well that was a little hiccup in the story.
Eric:Stop it! Come on. Um what how about you? What do you what are your what are your thoughts on that? What what what would our our our bless you be? A gesundheit. Have you I've done that before though. I uh are you this kind of person where you've have you ever reflexively like bless you'd someone who was hiccuping? Or uh more often with like a cough that is halfway to a sneeze.
Matt:Yeah. I've done like when or like sometimes I do yeah, I've I think I've done it to Lindsay as like a bit of like a oh bless you. A bless you, bless you. Like, yeah. Because who has it? I do think the hiccups main thing is like they're annoying to everybody. They're not just annoying to the person hiccuping, they're annoying to everybody.
Eric:Oh yeah. You are a burden when you're hiccuping. And like no matter how often people reassure that's the other, okay. Instead of stop it over and over, just don't stop reassuring them that no one's mad at them. Oh, it's fun. Dude, no one's mad. No one's mad, man. Hey, it's easy. It's like like do it like as if they could stop anytime they wanted, and just like, dude, we're not mad. You don't do you do you, man. You do you. Wait, waves on the ocean. Do you? Hey, respect. Respect. Respect. I love respect, dude. Brave. Very brave, man. Dude, brave. Hoo jaw bless, no man curse. I don't even know what those what that whole thing was. Jesus. Quotes from a very good uh reggae song, and also was uh uh the the same day I saw Honk If You Love Noise Pollution, I saw another license plate frame that was like it had like Jamaican flag colors on it and said hoojawess, and at the bottom, no man curse. No man curse, no man curse. I'm like, hell yeah. Hell yeah.
Matt:Wow. I didn't know you were such a reggae fan. Oh, dude. I oh, this is gonna be good.
Eric:No, here's what I'm gonna say. This is gonna be good. Two things can be true. One, I am never going to do any kind of fucking putting my ass out there impression of anyone that's gonna get me canceled. Uh-huh. Two, I do a fucking mean Jamaican accent. I'm a trained actor. That's it.
Matt:Eric, I hear you. And you will never hear it. Eric, they will never hear it, but I will hear it now. Give it to me. I will censor it.
Eric:That's it. You're gonna give me two words? Um, hold on, hold on. Let me think of a sentence to say. Because now that it's one of those things like think of anything. Think of anything on our own. Say peas, carrots, cheese, and rice in your Jamaican accent.
Matt:It's really not bad, actually. Yeah, yeah.
Eric:It's really I kind of fucking nail it. I kind of fucking nail it.
Matt:Oh man, and you really did believe me that I'm gonna censor it. That's amazing. Oh my god, don't no, I'm just and I'm man.
Eric:If you weren't on the other, if you weren't, if there wasn't a screen behind us, I would just fucking kid you because you're my fucking friend and I love you. I can't be stopped. I've I've I've got I'm drunk with editorial privilege.
Matt:All right. So yeah, the hiccups. So you could I do kind of like the the oh, we're gonna call it gaslighting one into being like, yeah, yeah, no one's mad, man. No one's mad. Just gaslight the hiccups out of them. Hey, if you want to do that, that's fine. I'm good. Just making it doubling down on your idea that like saying suggesting it's a preference that like Yeah, and every time they're like, hey, you don't have to do it's like, dude, no, no, no, no.
Eric:I you're fine. You're good, you're safe here.
Matt:Yeah, what if you what okay, what if instead of the bless you, and I don't know that this is in the spirit of Aaron's question, maybe it is just making it such a big deal. Like, like make like it, everything has to stop. Like, as if they're having a heart attack.
Eric:Like you've never seen someone hiccup before. Yeah, like you don't know what a hiccup is, and you're not sure what's what's wrong with that? And you're like, oh, ooh, that's an interesting bit. That's just a bit of being like, oh my god, do we start compressions? Are you are you nurse?
Matt:Just fucking nurse. Just start Googling.
Eric:Like it's a says it's supposed to scare you.
Matt:Ah now, d uh have you do you have a a remedy that you subscribe to in terms of the hiccuping? I'm a big fan of drinking a glass of water and the holding the breath that the holding the breath does work for me, but you have to really commit and you gotta and you might have a couple of hiccups. And they'll hurt that that you can't let out. No, and they'll hurt. You gotta get through it. And just when you think, this is my advice to you, listeners. This is some fatherly advice. Just when you just when you think that, like, okay, I probably held my breath long enough. It's probably good. I'm it's starting to be, it's starting to hurt, starting to be uncomfortable. You gotta push a little bit more beats.
Eric:Five more beats. Push it a little bit more and then summon the Suzuki method and five more beats.
Matt:Lindsay gets the hiccups, and I swear to god, none of these things work. She can't hold her breath. I try scaring her, but she knows I'm gonna try to scare her now. So she's like already on.
Eric:So now she's just nervous. Now she's just on edge.
Matt:Stop it, stop it, stop yelling at me. Stop, stop going, but I do think a good scare does work, but I I think it almost needs move. Yeah, you almost need to come at it from like a as a stranger. I I And that could get you arrested.
Eric:Yes, yeah, yeah. You can't just you can't just be startling people. Yeah. You start startling, you stop. Stretch?
Matt and Eric:Yeah, yeah.
Matt:Oh, you want me you want me to vamp. Just to cover your this is very interesting. Start and stop. You gotta get off the the pot. Okay. Sorry, I just I don't know, gotta write something down. Um weird start stop bullshit. God. Uh uh you were saying, or actually trying to say. I think you were in the middle of some sort of anxiety attack.
Eric:This is this is going off the rails like fucking harder than the chicken wing debate.
Matt:This episode, uh I I uh maybe we set ourselves up for failure, but it has been tangent central. It has been tangent central. It it do you you remember? Are you saying Eric, are you saying you have not enjoyed our conversation after this?
Eric:No, no, no, no, no, no. I've enjoyed our conversation very much. I'm loving this. I love this vibe, but it is chaotic. It is chaotic. Like it was, it was. I'm I'm trying to. I know we've had entire episodes that we've like completely derailed, but this one feels especially tangential, if that makes sense. There's a derailment and then there's a tangential. Like there's that one episode where what did we end up talking about the entire fucking time? Like that has nothing to do with the we didn't even get to questions that day. Oh gosh, I think that's happened more than once, my friend. It's happened a couple that I remember it happened with the chicken wings where we were talking, like, like that and fucking I barely remember this, but it was like the it was like it was like we got into like chicken wing style blue cheese ranch, some kind of fucking thing. Oh, about like dipping sauce. Oh, dude, and like, but like the that that whole conversation probably comprised a whole like in actual time, 10 minutes, but the tangents padded about 45 to 50 minutes on it. I still get people coming up to me and telling me they like that episode a lot.
Matt:The I I think I think you're absolutely right. I think it's one of our bread and butter uh tangents. And I think it's one of the what people come to this podcast for, Eric, is the tangents. I think you nailed it.
Eric:Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They love it so much that we made entire monthly bonus content. Oops. All fucking tangents.
Matt:All the fucking oh, all fucking tangents. All thirds. The the the X-rated spin-off. Ooh.
Eric:What happens in the orgy dome comes out in the goes out as bonus content.
Matt:Gets monetized.
Eric:All right. So where are we at with hiccups? Don't like them. Don't like them. Hiccups are this. I'm holding up two middle fingers. Hiccups are this.
Matt:No, I agree. I got both my fingers up as well. I agree with my man. Solidarity. Solidarity. You can count on me for that. You can take it to the bank. That's that that is my something I call it father figure advice too. Uh no, I think what I I it's around the time where we should have answered the question, but did we? No. I don't think we did either.
Eric:This time, folks, what I think we knew. I what I think we do for just to put the button on it. I think we've gotten like the all the fun, the the good ways we can respond to hiccups. But I wanna I wanna bless you. I wanna like what's our what's our what's our societal like gesuntite for hiccups?
Matt:I agree with you. I was about to say the same thing that I think we've gotten some, we've had some lulls, we've had some haws, some goofs. The question was what is the bless you? Yeah. So we need a bless you.
Matt and Eric:Yeah.
Matt:Eric, do you have a do you have an an opening bid? My opening bid. Yes. Yes, you in the back. Excuse me. Excuse me. And you said it kind of incredulously as well. Yeah. Yeah. That's good. Yeah. That's really good. Excuse me?
Eric:Like, throw a little bit of tooth on there. Just just a little. We're not trying to, we're not fighting words.
Matt:Or maybe it is, yeah. Maybe it is. Uh not fighting words. I don't, I, I don't want to disagree with you on the on that. I think what you need to do is some sort of it doesn't have to be excuse me, is what I'm trying to say. It can be something, it can be something like, what was that?
Eric:Well, you know, like again. Yeah, you want to repeat that? Come again could be funny because then they will. Come again. Come again? Come again.
Matt:Yeah, that just something that makes them like you're engaging and also acting as if it was some sort of personal affront.
Eric:Yeah. We acknowledge and shame the hiccup. We hiccup shame on this show. I'm not afraid to say it. We hiccup shame on this show, and that's okay, because some hiccups are fucking annoying, you know? Some hiccups are fucking annoying. Some are cute for a little while. Uh but on a long enough timeline, they all become annoying.
Matt:Yes, I was just uh I agree with you then. I was just gonna say, I think it is a a little bit of time, a little bit of time that it's cute. And then it very quickly becomes not it's exactly what you were suggesting earlier, in reverse. You know, the like uh you begin with like, all right, all right, it's okay, and end with like the escalate.
Eric:All I had to say was the escalating. Recommend doing with people you know and love. Yeah, but uh but uh you scream at a stranger on a bus. I'm not your dad. Matt's gonna be with you. I am.
Matt:Oh, the So there is the like you do bless a stranger though, don't you?
Matt and Eric:Yeah.
Eric:I'll bless a stranger. So then they'll tell their hiccups to fuck off. Oh but would you do the excuse me? Excuse me. Yeah. Excuse me. It is good. Come again is good, too. Excuse me. Almost like a sitcom fucking No worries. No worries, no worries is fucking great. No worries. No worries. No worries.
Matt:Can you imagine you're on the subway? No worries. No worries.
Eric:Oh, that Matt, Matt Shay, you brilliant bitch, you beautiful, smart bastard. Yes. All good. All good, no worries. That is, that is, let's bring that energy to hiccups. I don't mind. I don't mind.
Matt:I'm good. Well, no, I I don't mind is going too far into your uh your original thing of like, hey, don't worry about it.
Eric:No man curse. Any other good ones we can think of? I got nothing. I think I think I think I think no worries and you're good. I think those I think those two.
Matt:That's fine. Yeah, I agree with you. I think we nailed it. I think we finally nailed it. Hell yeah.
Eric:You want to give us our next question, my friend? Sure do. Our second question today, and this is from I'm guessing the mind, the mind of Matt Shea. Yeah. At what point does a snack become a meal legally speaking? Now, this is legally speaking. Legally speaking. And so for me, that bar is high. That means if we were in a fucking court of law and securing a conviction hinged on your eating a meal versus a snack, that is the bar I'm trying to make.
Matt:I agree. I agree. I think it's that level of intensity, that level of importance. Yes. That's what we have to come at this with. So let's start with what's a snack? Not a meal, that's for goddamn sure. Oh, Eric, come on now. You can't be taking the sneaky back door to me.
Eric:No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I want to avoid timing in the definition of snack.
Matt:Yeah.
Eric:I okay. Because people You mean like time of day? Time of day. I agree. Because I have snacked. Oh. And you can snack any fucking time a day. Baby, I can snack.
Matt:You can meal. I had a I had a meal a little over an hour ago, and baby, I'm ready for my snack.
Eric:I'm ready for my snack. So a snack. A snack is a bridge. For me, it's a bridge. Okay. A snack is g it's either a bridge or it's a sauna. A bridge. A bridge carries me to a destination. The snack is bringing me. It's gonna carry me over, hold me over, if you will, until a meal. Oh, okay. Yeah, I agree. That's the bridge. The sauna is when I want to snack for snack's sake. When I just want to sit and when I just want to steal, I just want to mmm.
Matt:Yeah. And you're saying those are both snacks, or those are two different snacks?
Eric:These are two f kinds, approaches to snacks. So these are what snacks do. Yeah. If I'm eating a meal, regardless of how much I plan on enjoying that meal or I'm craving something or so, I am at the end of the day, fulfilling my mental checklist of I need two to three of these a day. Oh. And I have to fulfill my nutritional requirements. At no point in a snack am I thinking, okay, oh, thank God, I've I've checked a box for the day. It's either carrying me to the box I am checking or just fucking enjoying myself.
Matt:Yeah, I think there are I agree. Because I think there's levels of seriousness to the snack. Like there's the oh my gosh, I uh I need something because I'm a little hungry. And then there's the plann snack. Because like if you're gonna sit delayed gratification. And and I'm I'm genuinely not sure how I feel about what I'm gonna ask you about. So I I want your genuine opinion.
Matt and Eric:Okay.
Matt:You say, okay, around three o'clock, I'm gonna sit down. I got this Danish earlier. I'm gonna sit down with my Danish and a coffee. Is that a snack? That's a snack. That is a snack.
Eric:All right. Um I think I agree. Now we are getting into because it I will say this too. Okay. It depends, depends on the Danish, babe. So there's some Danishes, like, I'm like, I could tank five or six of these things. That those are all snacks, but then there are some Danishes that I'm like, that's a fucking, that's an event. That is a that is a I think use your own judgment though. You can plan a snack though. If that's what you're getting at, you can plan a snack.
Matt:Yeah, oh yeah. I'm not saying I I'm saying there's those are the two different flavors you were talking about, in a way. There's like the planned snack of like, yes, oh, I I'm saving that for later. Oh, I'm I can't eat uh I have to eat a late dinner or something. So around five o'clock, I'm gonna bring this, I'm gonna eat this bag of chips I brought, you know. Also snack. And then there's the just sort of idling through the kitchen, grabbing some uh chips on the way on the way out kind of snack. Yeah. But both are snacks. Now, when do they become a meal legally? Because remember the stakes, folks.
Eric:A man's life. Eric's on trial. I am why I will go to jail if I was eating a meal and not a snack. I think the prosecution's fighting for the death penalty. Oh golly.
Matt:So put the stakes high, Eric, for God's sake. I know. I knowysis.
Eric:So here's here's here's what I'll say. Trigger in heaps.
Matt:Triggering and heap in me, bro. Just some David Ball humor for I'm gonna say 10% of the audience. Woo! Which is actually impressive. Actually, it would be if we hit 10% of that theater fan.
Eric:If you take our Dave Ball fucking percentage in the show compared to the ratio of general population, yeah, 10% is numbers he can only dream of.
Matt:Oh, yeah, absolutely. Because we've uh and but let's uh we've tangent in it a lot, Eric. We gotta keep on track.
Eric:We are chicken winging so hard. We're chicken winning so hard. We're chicken winging.
Matt:So we what we gotta put the chicken wings out of the past and out of the past.
Eric:No, we gotta put them in the past. Put them, put them in the past. Throw them back. Hold on. I'm now that I'm thinking about it, and I I promise I'm just gonna put a button during that episode. You were you're blue cheese man. No, you're ranch man.
Matt:Eric, I would think you'd remember. Ranch. Yeah, I'm a ranch man.
Eric:Yeah, that's right. I love a ranch. I know you do. I remember now how much you loved telling me that. Yeah. Well, Eric, I I I love telling you any number of things. Yeah. But but I This is the one food-related question I'm sad we ever got. The chicken wing question.
Matt:Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Um It's classic. Fucking uh We were talking about Do you recall? Do you recall? Fill in the blank, we were talking about.
Eric:Yeah, my life is on the line. We are talking about the difference between the line. Yes, that's right. Your life is on the line. Um so I will say when the meal here's what I'll say. If and and and this might be controversial. Your armor, he can't even put together a solid defense of himself. He keeps bringing up a chicken wing for reasons unknown, you're honored. If I am making the same snack for more than two people, it becomes a meal. Now there's I could see, I could see, like, hey, I'm gonna fix myself a Danish. Alyssa, do you want one? Still snacks, still snacks. But if I'm at the point where I'm like, all right, everyone, come get your Danish and I'm handing them out, that's a meal. Do you see what I'm getting? Do you like do you see the space I'm playing? And it is a it's so you're saying you're saying the number of people, you the number of people are are part of it too. The number of people, if it's more than two people involved, it's that comes into play in the qualification of a snack? Uh no, and the qualification of what becomes a meal, and and I'm not saying it becomes a meal to be more than two people, like, but I'm saying it definitely is a a snack. I would say things that are snack. snacks become meals when you're mass distributing them to to like now granted there are exceptions to this. I disagree. There are exceptions.
Matt:I think that becomes an event. An event. Rather than it becomes like a full-blown meal.
Eric:I have to get out plates for everyone.
Matt:Yeah, that's like that's like you're now you're just hosting, Eric. You're describing hosting. Now I'm just hosting a meal. No, Eric, you're not hosting a meal. If you if you're at a party and you're d putting out a a buffalo chicken dip of some kind and you you put it out with uh things that's a that's an hors d'oeuvre. Yes. That ain't no that ain't no meal my friend.
Eric:I guess what I'm getting at sorry so it okay let me understand. I'm starting to wonder about the uh the whole big Danish situation. Let me adjust. There are things if we can all stand around it and like dip our chips into it and and we have plates and stuff for convenience sake, yeah that's that's still snack. Yeah. But if we're if we're in a situation where I'm like I have enough of this thing that I need to like ladle it or ladle it into a bowl or like it everyone has to have to get their own plate of that thing I think we're touching meal territory. You know what I mean? Like like vis-a-vis Danish. If we have a bunch of big Danishes and they're so big they're so big I'm putting I have to put them like on individual plates for everybody and like you can't just like knack in it. Yeah. That that's it and like I because I don't want to just come out and say I do not want to I do not want the record to reflect that a plate turns something into a meal. That is categorically false. You can put a snack on whatever you want. Yes. And meals can come on napkins. I've eaten pizza.
Matt:Sure we all have we all have but I'll tell you and I think this is an uh unintended consequence of your latest point I think you got me rethinking the big Danish situation.
Eric:Come on man I think the big I got a family if you if you Sorry my friend is about to have a family.
Matt:If you Oh my God I know if you have the idea in your head that I've got this special bear claw Danish that I'm setting aside for a specific time for when I'm going to sit down I'm starting to think that it's more than a snack. I I know that it it seems overkill to call it a meal but it is a meal at that point. But it is like a small meal maybe this like when you're making this the making a point of like scheduling it even if it's in your head.
Eric:Can I hit the jury with this? Okay yes and mind you there are there are going to be very few exceptions to this and they're going to be edge cases so I deny them entirely. If there's enough of the snack that you legit have leftovers I think agreed it's it's got to be a single serve a snack. Yeah yeah it's gotta be a snack is a one and done.
Matt:And I'm not saying that grabbing a few chips out of the bag and putting the bag back counts as like no that's one and done.
Eric:That's one and yeah yeah you just got your serve or if I eat my Ben and Jerry's I put it back that's one and done that no no no yeah that's that's fine. But like if I'm handed something and like afterwards I have to like I eat I eat it and then I'm like oh shit I gotta wrap this up and put it in the fridge or something that's a meal. That's a meal I think I do think I do think so. So snack one and done I think snack also no because I was gonna say shouldn't have to include additional hardware like uh like like spoons or knives and forks and shit but like no you could there are snacks you can eat with a knife and fork. Yeah no some some you have to I'd say yeah I don't think the utensils necessarily no I don't think the utensils I think I think I'm I I think I'm overthinking the utensils.
Matt:Because think about you just mentioned Ben and Jerry's as a snack so you need a spoon a spoon for that fork if you're desperate if no I was gonna say if it requires a recipe but there are snacks that are recipes.
Eric:Check's mix is a recipe yeah and I think you can make snacks in advance.
Matt:Yeah you can make snacks if you're making a batch of brownies you know you're not gonna eat them all in one sitting so when you grab a square of that brownie later that's a snack that it doesn't matter that you had to bake it earlier in your life.
Eric:No no god this is hard why did I why did I agree to this trial your honor why because your life hangs in the very balance of the snack oh no oh goodness are we saying it's a size thing I it's a s it's a size thing but even then Matt go to a Michelin star fucking three star restaurant and you'll get portions that are smaller than most snacks.
Matt:I think I got it I think I might have hit me with it if you are eat what if if it's a combination thing like if you're eating uh a we keep going back to it so we'll let's say you're eating a Danish eating a big old Danish and we're saying that's a I I think I think the big Danish borders on a small meal. So let's say it's a small a small Danish. Yeah but if you're gonna accompany that small Danish with animal crackers and oh if there are sides it's a meal and there it is. That's what I'm saying. If you have like and I don't even know about two things because you could get like two different like types of pretzels or something but if you get I think three or more distinct components of the meal right there it is. Subconsciously I just said it was a meal. You just did it blew this thing wide open.
Eric:Freud came right out of me the spirit of him and said tis a meal I do not know why I made this German man Austrian man Italian Your Honor you will note that my plate Sigmund Freud Your Honor you will note that my plate included the Jamaican beef patty that had been air fried reheated fried rice from the other night and a couple of pickled sweet garlic from a jar that's constituting.
Matt:It's a meal Yah no it I think sides sides is really the hinge the lead not even sides I think components because like components because that does suggest one main course and I don't think you need a main course in a snack you can have three equal size things.
Eric:The components but you that yeah that's that's the intent with vis-a-vis snack meal snacky mealy yeah when giving them the old snack is like and that's why it's so hard to prove in court is like dude you have to give them the old snacky meal you have to you have to prove components you have to prove sides.
Matt:Yeah proof of sides and I think that's what gets you off the hook. I think that's what keeps you from the gallows yep that's and leaves me free to kill again yes thank god thank god you're on a place I'm getting worse with this this Ben Wapper who does jaw bless your honor no man curse very good Eric no man curse very good um I think we answered the question Eric I think we did it and Eric I think that I think that brings us to the closing segment oh my fucking God here we stand the dust settling and we must reveal to one another do we reveal do you think before before we reveal yes I say we we we call each other out. I do think there needs to be some call-outs going on and I'm gonna try to think of others but I really only got one for you I have I have like five written to yeah you do because let me ask you this Eric you started throwing out fake objectives you like you tried to do red herrings right yeah oh yeah for sure okay just making sure that was for sure that's what all those fucking impressions were at the beginning right yeah okay yeah yeah yeah yeah none of that was real yeah okay okay that's what I've um I have one for you okay hit me were you given some variation of keep mentioning how you're gonna be a dad or your dad energy no damn it but I noticed I mentioned it three times so I kept mentioning it okay okay we think alike we think alike okay okay uh I do have some call outs for you Eric yeah yeah yeah hit me I uh and I'm gonna keep it to three I'm gonna we know it's three so these are my best three that I think okay did you have did you have some task to get me sidetracked talking about Fraser no I really felt good about that one too okay all right uh what about or should we go one for one um so I've only got one let me let me think I'm I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna rewind my mind palace real quick because there were some things I noticed but I didn't get a chance to take note of them so let me let me let me review there was one um was complimenting yourself in a joking way one of your tasks no okay because there were a couple of times where you had some little little little uh little um what what are they called self-deprecating jokes and I was like and they happened up I was like I know and then I was like well he does this normally but I don't know okay no that's just that's just me uh what about um oh okay I'm gonna go to the big one I think because I can't read my handwriting on the same one now uh that I was gonna say the uh this chicken wing episode never happened and you were supposed to convince me that it did right I was supposed to gaslight you that there was an episode I was like I was like Zach if Zach I was like oh that is such a good task also he has an encyclopedic knowledge of our episodes you should have given that to me Zach because there there came a point where I mentioned it again and I was like oh that might have been too much I might have I might how soon did you realize I thought you were gonna know when I realized because I was like when I threw in that like yeah that classic episode that's and that's I was like fuck I overplayed it yeah he was like gaslight Matt into about an episode and he was sp I specifically had to be an episode that we totally exists and or that doesn't exist and that I that people love. We also had to mention we have talked about blue cheese and ranch before that is true. So you did mix in a a teaspoon of truth just to just to help the poison go down.
Eric:Yeah um and then I had my last one was yeah what is it fucking oh the the the weird start stop moment you had I I wrote down like there was a no like oh oh that no I know what you're talking about but no that was just that was pure poach baby oh that was just poach's brain all right good oh when I was telling you to vamp yeah no that's what that's what I meant yeah when you were telling that was not no that was just me I was like I'll think of something that's what I have for you my friend all right so I got one I guess one of them yeah you got one I got I got fucking nothing man if you were doing I was so sure that you're you had something of like get mad to like my like hyper focus on Fraser or something like that. Oh sorry I I did want to say I was gonna wait for you to say them all you came so close with that guess.
Matt:Oh is it because there is no episode of Shears about hiccuping no do you do you want to do you want to hear what it was because there's an episode of Frasier I know that Frazier having the hiccups is a a fairly large plot point but I didn't authentically remember a shears episode where Frazier has the hiccups so I thought that could be fake but I didn't want to say it and be wrong and and and look a fool.
Eric:So here's what it is and I feel so good taking this point because you good you so here because now I've circled the drain twice.
Matt:My my my my goal was to attempt to gaslight Matt that I think cheers is an overrated show and not that damn you know what fuck you know what you know what it is Eric that's so annoying about that I thought while you were like doubling down on it and being like I I think it's kind of overrated I was thinking in my head does he really think that or is this a task and I didn't write it down and I forgot all about it. And and that's really good. And full disclosure I go honestly did think like I think he's bullshitting this but I didn't write it down and I forgot. I literally forgot you did that.
Eric:Full disclosure still have not watched any cheers I had a good because you're not gonna think that I had eight or nine tabs open of just random episodes I was like I I did Google I looked up like what are the best episodes of cheers looked up the plots in case I needed to talk about them. No wonder you had to look something up before we hit record.
Matt:Yeah that's that's good. I did I I'm I'm I'm not bullshitting you I did have the thought but I forgot to write it down I forgot you did it. Hell yeah so I was on tea a little bit but I wasn't fully convinced that I wrote it down.
Eric:Uh give me one of yours what were one of yours we'll we'll back and forth this as well.
Matt:Oh very good okay my my first one that I knocked out early that I snuck in there work in a fake statistic that sounds real but is clearly unverifiable.
Eric:Eric I highly doubt humans spend 4.3% of their life hiccuping I really doubt it oh that is so good um oh that and Matt I never doubted that for a second I know you didn't bro that's so good when when when that moment came and went I was like I don't have to do anything else about that that oh especially because well you know just dropped you put it just dropped it off and left especially when you put a decimal point on it I know it was it like 90.6% of people won't question a statistic if it's got a decimal point I w nice job Eric.
Matt:I wasn't gonna I wasn't gonna admit to this but I did spend some time pre-show thinking of the percent because I thought I thought the hiccup question was good. I was like I think we're gonna do this hiccup question. We've been thinking about it for a couple like weeks. So so I was like what's good I was like anything over five percent sounds unreasonable.
Eric:Che my hat is off to you chef's kiss. So that that's one of mine. That's so good. You well you already guessed my other one which was gaslight you about an episode that does not exist. Right. Um and the other one I also knocked this out immediately compliment Matt in a way that sounds like an insult at least three times. I've done it probably about 10 times over the course of this episode. Every time it's like oh you were you're just a handsome sin of a bitch aren't you? You're just yeah I uh number complimented you a number of times but made it sound mean.
Matt:Yes I you did get that in there I checked that box for you for sure. Um my second one was and I do think I got this I started it early okay abandoned it because I ran out of material and I felt like I kind of forced it in later specifically and I don't know if it'll be in the final cut at these timestamps but when we're recording it was between 35 minutes and 45 minutes. Agree with poach for a full 10 minutes no matter how bad his take on a topic is what did you agree with me on?
Eric:It was just I just everything just literally everything I can oh I cannot wait to go back and listen to this. I literally was just like yeah I think I agree and I threw in a thr I did put in a couple of like I did put in a couple of like let me clarify this okay then I agree is this why you started going back on big danish yeah because I was like oh hell yeah okay well no I I went back on big danish for my third one oh that's right I kind of tag teamed it baby my third one reverse positions slowly shift your opinion until you're arguing the exact opposite of your original stance Matt Matt you did so good oh man and uh yeah you did you you won we're not even keeping score but you won oh man you know who really won? Zach dudes folks oh and the listeners i and the listeners that's right the audience yeah that that's right we're providing the service this isn't for or about them honestly they should count themselves lucky to be my one of one of my favorite writer directors of all time is dear friend of mine Phil Doccolo wrote shows for the Baltimore Rock Opera Society and the quote they used by the writer on the on the on the like the Baltimore newspaper article about the show the first show he wrote quote Phil Docolo this show isn't for or about the audience oh I mean I I I I fully agree with him there but you know I'm an absurdist theater boy I I fully agree that the audience's enjoyment is an afterthought qua qua qua brother yeah baby you tell him lucky I will say I will say that um you want me to be cute for a hot second?
Matt:Be cute for a hot second yeah go on be I mean you've been you ain't gotta get cute if you stay cute but go on when I'm talking to my unborn child because my books tell me I should do that so I try to have a little convo a little powwow a little sermon um I have been throwing out all kind I I uh I have been talking about these types of things and have been like I'll Lindsay will be like you you have to you haven't talked to the baby today and I'll say I'll just be like really fucking cute Matt and I'll just be like so there are five major works of Beckett you're gonna want to produce kids going to come out with a bowler hat. Kids are going to come out and be like uh yes happy days great play it's okay yeah Eric so what do we think how did hidden objectives go this was fun and I want to do it again I think I I think it was fun I do want to do it again and all bits aside I do want to hear what the listeners had to think about this little uh little experimentation this boundary breaking form molding oh yeah game no it was fun it was a good time and I don't think I was worried it would overshadow the episode and I don't think it did no not but I do think I do think it put us on a in a highly tangential mood yeah it made us we got the sillies we got the sillies and you know it's fine it's good to have this snack on the sillies every now and then just don't make it a meal it's fucking great job Eric got you great job snack on the sillies folks gotcha but always know when it's time to dine on the business uh huh uh huh uh huh you're not gonna compliment that segue no that was a very good segue what you saw was me listening to my cat forking up another cat of course it fucking was folks we need your questions and I I need you to send them to us at you didn't ask for this at gmail.com via an electronic message you can do that an electronic mail or on the socials at you didn't ask pod that's letter you didn't ask pod send us a message a DM slide on in there with your question we'll take it or of course you could drop them in the Discord but that's only available if you join the Patreon Eric folks if you go to patreon.com slash you didn't ask for this you click on that button says one dollar a month one measly dollar a month a a unit so small that it's made out of a hundred of a currency we do not even use anymore for one dollar a month you get access to the Discord where the vibes are immaculate they're great you've got the orgy down you know tell us what you're bringing um you will be welcomed with open arms you will be given a gun and a badge you'll get to know about my baby about oh you get to know so much about that baby you'll see an ultrasound ultrasound that's right and then folks Eric's having some sort of gastric distress moment so I'm sorry my gastric distress it's just the deal is so good it's just it's for four dollars a month and my heartburn you get access to the Discord you get access to monthly bonus content in the form of all tangents and you get 20% off of all your daft merchandise in the you daft merchandise store.

Matt:Maggie Smith still got claws oh yeah so uh yeah so I think that'll about do it how about how about do it?

Eric:But is the game still happening, Matt? Now that is- Did Zach give you three objectives, Matt?
