Do you really not want to be like a chicken?

What do you have against ducks?

This week, Akshay and Matt celebrate Dance Like a Chicken Day, the one holiday where you’re fully encouraged to briefly ignore all dignity and let your feathers fly.

In this episode, they:

• Dive into the surprisingly strange origins of this wedding dance floor staple

• Draft the next animals that deserve their own dance craze

• Reflect on their own public humiliation… sorry, dance histories

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to flap your wings in front of your boss this week, this is it. Consider this episode your official permission.

Legal Disclaimer: This podcast is not liable for any resulting dance parties or cease and desist letters stemming from your newfound dance confidence.
