The first video uploaded showed the moment he started choking with the caption: "that one time I was six months pregnant and had to give my husband the Heimlich..."

In a second video, Dan spoke to the camera and explained what happened.

"Basically, I was in this insane battle against a mozzarella stick, and Sam was like, 'Tap me in,'" Dan said.

"I was just chewing on mozzarella sticks. Cheese was still attached, so part of the mozzarella stick was down here (near my neck), part was still in my mouth."

He said he tried clearing his throat to try and get it up and started gagging, which is when it actually blocked his airway and he couldn't breathe.

"I felt it (move) and it got stuck... I went to breathe and Sam goes, 'Babe, are you OK?' That's when I was like, 'Oh, this is bad, I'm actually choking now.'"
