June 04, 2026142 | F-ck Boy Out, Farm Boy In
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.

May 07, 2026140 | Nature's Balloon
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?

April 09, 2026138 | The Abe Lincoln Stunt Spectacular
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?
Those answers await before Eric quizzes Matt on his knowledge of hobbies.

March 12, 2026136 | The Seuss Hat Redemption
Our questions this week:
When does a guess become a guesstimate?
You know that expression of incredulity, “if that’s true, I’ll eat my hat?” If you said this and then the thing turned out to be true, which of your hats would you choose to eat, and how would you prepare it for consumption?
Then, Eric provides Matt with yet another new closing segment: No Context. It's got some visual aids, so check out the Instagram for the full experience.

February 12, 2026134 | Snack on the Sillies
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.
