What is the correct way to make a PB&J? It's a question everyone has an answer to...and we are no exception. We duke it out over this culinary staple before examining what the Tooth Fairy does with all those teeth, what you see when life "flashes before your eyes" and spend a great deal of time on Reese and his various peanut butter products. Plus: a brand-new closing segment brought to us by two YDAFT Giants: Neighborhood Watch.

Matt and Eric brought something into my life I didn’t realize I was missing and answers I never knew I needed to questions I never asked. They are amazing hosts that break down the questions and get to the root of it all, and they’re quite funny. Highly recommend.
