This morning about 30 seconds before the start of the Lord-approved award winning segment Muse in the News, I got a horrible case of violent hiccups. It made for a rough, painful broadcast. But I think I covered it well. You be the judge. Several P1′s claimed they were laughing so hard they cried.
Glad my pain is funny.

Instant classic. If only you could do this on demand combined with fake vomiting. George would love you even more.
BTW – highly recommend the movie Marty. Won Best Picture, Director, Actor and Writing. Obviously dated in places but still a good watch.
Like the facelift on the website too.
I felt like this was the kind of thing Andy Kaufman would do. Take that as you will.
Awesome radio. The hiccups timed with the fart drops had me laughing outloud. Imagining someone listening to your show for the first time had me laughing even harder.
Greatest ever. Whatever you did do it again.”theirs his body coming into view…”haha…I can imagine a limp joe-pa sailing through the uprights.
Now I know what the inside of a hiccup sounds like:)
Gordo, you don’t just get hiccups…you get super frog croak hiccups! Next time, try drinking something carbonated and belch. Hiccups is trapped air trying to escape but the glottis or epiglotis (or something like that…I’m no doctor) closes before the air can leave. I’ve used this technique and it seems to work everytime!
Nearly drove off of the road on the way to work I was laughing so hard…favorite Muse in recent memory!
Radio GOLD!
You are SO GOING to win the Emergency Brake of the Week award on Friday.
I heard this the other morning and was dying laughing, not at you of course.
Ok, sure way to get rid of hiccups, and it works EVERY TIME… get a glass of water, take a drink, hold the glass up and look at the bottom and swallow as you’re looking up (or just look up when swallowing) do this about 3-4 times. I swear it works every time.

Man, I keep reliving 14:45 everyday since this happened. I nearly had a wreck when this happened. Pure geniusness
14:09 sounds eerily like a post-tasered mush mouth recovery moan
The only thing I have ever tried that actually stopped my hiccups:
1) Take in as much air as you can and hold it in.
2) Take in another gulp of air, don’t let any out.
3) Take in another gulp of air, don’t let any out.
4) Keep doing this until you can’t hold your breath any longer and then slowly exhale.
Repeat if necessary, but for some reason, filling the lungs with oxygen and holding it in there is the fix for me the 1st time every time.
