    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). But first: some dream analysis.

    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. Barr and her correction corner.
