You Didn't Ask For This

Sometimes a question is so specific...that it takes us a whole episode. Such was the case of building a baseball team from non-baseball-playing movie characters. Then: Google Gripes round two begins!

At long last, the First Knight of YDAFT has arrived at court. Sir Juniper is here! She brings with her a banquet of her typically A+ questions such as: How would you design a ghillie suit that gives camouflage in an urban setting What would be your Looney Tunes-esque genus and species name? What non-animal adornments for big ostentatious hats should come into fashion?
And why do we say sleep like a baby if babies are not known ...

For generations, professors and philosophers have debated the possible solutions to "The Trolly Problem." Now, finally, blissfully...these two idiots solve it once and for all. Also: When the toddler hands you the phone…what’s being said on the other line? Then we finish the ep with part two of Google Gripes round one!

The wait is over (if it ever started)...the fifth season of Google Gripes has arrived! Matt gets the ball rolling with another set of 1-star Google reviews for well-known movies, but first: when people say 'that's right up my alley'...what street is that alley off of? Where have all the cowboys gone? And what should Effin' Cultured do for their next roast episode? Yeah, that's right, we're not the only...

For this episode, we're joined by the lead singer of Infinite Pizza, local witch, and licensed mortician Becky Hackerman! Becky brought along a plethora of questions for the boys to go through, ranging from "Is blood soup?" to "What is your Fursona?" Then, Becky gives Matt a tarot reading.

This episode we're joined by a true YDAFT Giant, submitter of bundles of questions, and expert in all things odd: it's Tim from Against All Oddities! And he came prepared. Not only does he rattle off a packet of prepared questions, he also sent both Matt and Eric a secret question to prepare in advance without the other's knowledge. He's setting a new bar for guest preparation and you're the beneficiary!

If, from the day you are born, you never bleed, do you live your entire life with the same blood?
