We're continuing our road to love with the second installment of Dr. Arthur Aron's  "36 questions that lead to love." The questions are getting more personal and the love is growing stronger.

It's been six years (to the day!) since we dropped the first episode of YDAFT, 'A Centaur at Panera.' 150 episodes later...it's time for Matt and Eric to fall in love. In celebration of our buck-fifty milestone, we're taking on Dr. Arthur Aron's famous "36 questions that lead to love." The psychologist's increasingly personal list of questions, popularized a decade ago by essays in The New York Times' column Modern Love, is meant for two strangers to go through and by the end -- BAM -- love.  In what will be (at least) a two-part series, Matt and Poch embark on the road to love.

This week, we're rounding up a series of questions regarding children's books, including Goodnight Moon, Winnie the Pooh, Five Little Ducks, and Mr. Brown (of mooing fame).

Why is spicy the only flavor our butts can detect and replicate? We know what a bit is...but what is a tid? We tackle these quandaries while pontificating on the power of Biscoff before we're joined (and corrected) by Dr. Lindsey R.

A YDAFT Giant spams the Thoughtline with questions on Toy Story's Bullseye, the Muppets, and inanimate object matrimony.

Look out! A new Definitive Ranking approaches! That's right: Definitive Ranking makes its triumphant return as we rank the original Super Smash Bros lineup based on actual lethality. But first: How many people do you have to have in your secret society for it to actually be considered a secret society and not just a group of friends?

Matt makes his triumphant return to the pod just in time to check in with YDAFT Bingo. Then: In the Toy Story universe, how come Bullseye (Woody’s horse) is treated like an actual animal? Meanwhile, the other animal toys like Hamm, Slinky, and Rex are treated like fully sapient beings? Finally, we close things out with some listener-demanded local legends.  Join our Patreon! $1/month Access to the YDAFT Discord$4/month Access to the YDAFT Discord20% off all merch Access to our monthly bonus episodes..."Opps!

Zacky D, the interim co-host for you and me, returns to fill in Matt's spot under the shady tree that is Eric's lanky body...but Matt isn't entirely absent this time. This episode marks the return of Hidden Objectives, this time provided for Poch and Zack by none other than Mr. Shea himself. Also, that weird ghost in the machine seems to still be around. Weird. Question-wise, Eric and Zack tackle the following: what's your murder preference as a victim? You two are buying a dog together...annnnd go.

While Matt takes a sabbatical to learn how to parent, Poch is joined by none other than the illustrious Zack Deuce (The Neatcast, Podcasters Assemble). Together they answer:  What is the most unethical (but non-violent) thing you can do with a pencil? And if two psychics read each other’s minds at the same time, whose thought counts as the original thought? Also: What would you do if you saw an endangered animal eating an endangered plant? The two then "honor" Matt by predicting the name of his child.  Join our Patreon! $1/month Access to the YDAFT Discord$4/month Access to the YDAFT Discord20% off all merch Access to our monthly bonus episodes..."Opps!

This week we tackle a 'compound question' from the Discord. A three-part adventure, if you will. Can a Vampire Policeman enter my house if they have a warrant? If you had to set a trap for your co-host, what would you use as bait to guarantee they fall for it? And can the plot leading up to the vampire becoming a policeman and what the warrant is for be explained, as well as the preceding situation leading up to needing a co-host trap?  Then Eric has a special closing segment for Matt as he departs for his sabbatical.

How long is someone allowed to cough in a movie theater before you get someone to kick them out? Then: Lost in the Sauce....what sauce?  To close this one out, we warm up our Definitive Ranking muscles with a mini-ranking of the Danish Butter Cookies. You know the ones.

Earth Day was two weeks ago, but that doesn't stop us from dedicating an entire episode to Mother Gaia (okay, mostly dedicated to Mother Gaia). We forego a closing segment to answer three new questions: What is the National Anthem of the Internet? How can I get The Youth to get excited about balloon release alternatives? And what do the trees in the park gossip about?

Why do we have to “get down to brass tacks?” What happens if brass tacks aren’t enough? What would we upgrade to? And how can we class up our euphamisms for using the bathroom?
