Starring: Marc, Dan, and Akshat
Potential Things This Week:
It's episode 55 of the Is This A Thing Podcast! Sorry we missed you last week, Akshat was too busy grading papers, Marc was too busy eating papers, and Dan was probably turning those papers into some sort of bespoke bullshit. This week we talk about MetaLimbs. They're the best new invention for accidentally punching yourself in the balls. Then, we talk about a Facebook approval tool that would get the shitty art off Facebook. Finally, ya boi Young Griff writes in to ask about Jigsaw Puzzles. Don't worry. Daddy always gets a taste.

Starring: Marc, Dan, and Akshat
Potential Things This Week:
It's episode 54 of the Is This A Thing Podcast! It's another page in Dan's Dirtbag Diaries today, so strap in. We start off with talking about the Alamo Drafthouse doing separate screenings for women only to watch Wonder Woman. Naturally, men find a way to make it about them instead. Then, Akshat tells us about a rule he'd like to see become a part of cafeterias. Don't ask about empty seats, assume that they're either full, or you're not welcome. Finally, we attempt to talk about promposals, before getting sidetracked from Dan's high school experience.

It's Episode 51 of the Is This A Thing? Podcast!
"Dan Week!"
Starring: Marc, Dan, and Akshat
Dan's Potential Things This Week:
It's episode 51 of the Is This A Thing Podcast! and Happy Dan Week!!! Have you hugged a Dan today? This episode is all about Dan. He came up with the questions that would inspire a generation. Listen to Marc and Akshat in horror as they have to consider whatever comes out of his mouth. He starts with Leftovers. Is it okay to eat leftovers that aren't yours? What if they're Marc's? What if Marc was hungover the next day and really needed them? Also, listen as Dan discovers a fetish. Then, we learn about The Dan Method, which surprisingly isn't sexual at all. It is a special method of dealing with flights with a significant other, works even better after the trip! Finally, he asks about Password Sharing with your significant other. How many of their passwords do you know? How much do they know? How paranoid is Marc? Why are you asking questions? Who are you?
Happy Dan Week, everybody!

It's Episode 50 of the Is This A Thing? Podcast!
"Lil' Andy, the Pillow Pervert"
Starring: Marc, Dan, and Akshat
Potential Things This Week:
It's episode 50 of the Is This A Thing Podcast! Toldja we'd be back. This is an all listener episode. So if you don't like something, its probably your fault. We talk about names. Are they really that hard? Only if you hate human interaction. Are pillows fuckable? Yes. And its the owner's fault for leaving them out. Is putting your hands in your jean pockets a crime? Yes. Please call 9-1-1 on yourself. The police will be there shortly. This week, Dan sit's on his ass and lets Young Griff take over the kicker. Don't worry, next week is ALL DAN, ALL THE TIME.

"Juggalo Moms and Soccer Dads"
Starring: Marc, Dan, and Akshat
Potential Things This Week:
It's episode 49 of the Is This A Thing Podcast! We're back! Again! Seriously, for reals. We heard the wails, we heard the cries, we got constant letters from all around the world, and we finally relented. What were we doing while we were away? Wouldn't you like to know! Oh, you would? Well, Marc's started a co-op in his neighborhood, which is wonderful. Dan's been doing a lot of humanitarian work, building houses and stuff. He's very handy. Akshat's been spending his time volunteering at soup kitchens. Really giving back, you know? No seriously, we just pissed the time away doing fuck all. Whatever, you know? What, were we supposed to spending it doing something productive? What're you, our dads?

It's Episode 48 of the Is This A Thing? Podcast!
"Reginald's Parking Lot"
Starring: Marc, Dan, and Akshat!
Potential Things This Week:
It's episode 48 of the Is This A Thing Podcast! Welcome back! This week, well, it's a wild one. We start off talking about weird, weird phone cases. Really weird. But that's okay, because we're saved by a crazy, lightning round. What more could you want? There's Reginald, and he's a fingerblasting aficionado. Hangs out in a Denny's parking lot. 10 cents a pop. Nice guy. Think that's bad? Well how about a maid of honor that manages to drink an entire bottle of liquor, and only gets violent when someone stops her from drinking the second bottle of liquor. All of it. There's a whole lot in between there. We then hear from some disingenuous listeners (they're bots) asking weird questions (seriously, they're like weird sex bots on SoundCloud). We finally talk about the movie going experience. How do we improve it? Mostly it's liquor. Maybe a catheter. We'll investigate. Come and join us!

It's Episode 47 of the Is This A Thing Podcast!
"A Little Bit Ping Pong"
Starring: Marc, Dan, and Akshat!
Potential Things This Week:
It's episode 47 of the Is This A Thing? Podcast! We're back! Again! For real this time. Seriously. We first discuss Smartwatches! Akshat's the worst in this one. Don't worry, he probably hates himself more. We then talk about sub-dermal magnets! What? We don't know! We know it's stupid though. So, so stupid. Finally, we have a listener topic! Yay! Someone asked if it's a real stereotype that Asian people are good at ping pong. Of course it is, listener. Frankly, you asking seems a little bit ping pong to us. 2017 is a new year. And new year, new us, we've always said that. This year, we're back and more depressed than ever before! We hope you'll join us. In both things. That's right. In both things.

It's Episode 46 of the Is This A Thing Podcast!
"Flowers For Norma"
Starring: Marc, Dan, and Akshat!
Potential Things This Week:
It's Episode 46 of the Is This A Thing Podcast! Today we're off to a weird start. There's slurping, Akshat's been watching Russian street fight videos, it's all a mess. But we have wonderful listener questions from two different people, and they're asking life's most difficult questions. What do you get a Jamaica-Bound old Jamaican woman you've become friends with at work because you work late often and she comes and cleans out the office? What could even compare to the joy and light she's brought into your life? Well, some shitty empanadas aren't a bad place to start. We also come up with a foolproof way of creating names for your DnD characters. You can try it at home, it's fun! Here's a name: Green "Juice" Roberts. That's a solid DnD character name right there. Finally, we talk about whether men can wear makeup, but mostly talk about whether men should wear makeup, and then mostly really why men can't wear makeup. Spoilers: it's because of society. Society's the worst.

Starring: Marc, Dan, and Akshat
Potential Things This Week:
It's Episode 45 of the Is This A Thing Podcast! This week, we're reforming the political system, we're reforming the airplanes, and goddamn if we're not also reforming the acting industry. Remember the 5 Ls, everyone. Live, Love, Laugh, Learn, Los Angeles. Stay safe out there.

It's Episode 44 of the Is This A Thing? Podcast!
"Married To Chocolate"
Potential Things This Week:
It's episode 44 of the Is This A Thing? Podcast! This week, we're back from the spiritual hiatus to talk about dating. Can we reinvent dating? Yes, yes we can. Just go on a pre-date, dummy! Then, they'll know you suck before you bother to go on a full date! Problem solved. Then we talk about how we can improve license plates, and boy do we improve them. We improve them hard. Finally, we talk about hover boards (listener question from Annie!) and shoes. We also give some choice updates, which you can pair with a nice, stiff, malbec.

"Dick Clark's Puberty Fun Zone"
Starring: Marc, Dan, and Akshat
Potential Things This Week:
It's Episode 43 of the Is This A Thing Podcast! We have lots in store for the weekly listening, and absolutely nothing for the new listener. Listen to the old episodes, jerk! Okay, sorry. Jeez. Stop crying. This week we have some wonderful updates, and by wonderful we mean odd, and kinda pretty horribly sad. Are any of us okay? After that, Dan has an idea for New Year's Eve, and it's not excellent so we talk about Cake Pops instead. Finally, we have a listener question from Stephen! Is it okay for fast cars to drive super slow? Of course it isn't! Why would it be? Don't be ridiculous!

"Bathroom Nine and Three-Quarters"
Potential Things This Week:
It's Episode 42 of the Is This a Thing Podcast! This week, Akshat provides some welcome updates. Spoiler alert, its more than just GM and GN... Then the guys try to solve Marc's Burger King dilemma. Does it count as eating Burger King if you don't remember it? Yes. Yes it does. We receive a listener topic from Josh who asks about Edible Arrangements. Are they a thing? When are they too much/too little? Finally, Dan gets to confront those rude people in the Skyway. The right answer? Doors that hit back.

It's Episode 41 of the Is This A Thing? Podcast!
"Off The Rails"
Starring: Marc, Dan, and Akshat
Potential Things This Week:
It's Episode 41 of the Is This A This Podcast! We go completely off the rails this week. There's recording problems, physically. Akshat screwed up his mic configuration. Dumb. There's also recording problems, emotionally! We're real depressed. But we talk about a veritable litany of things, including drug running, thank you cards, wraps, and currency! We're on that hot off the presses tip, ya'll. Watch out Walter Mathau! We're coming for your weird, disgraced-from-regular-TV job that you've got on one of Al Gore's internet channels.

"An Indecent Prankposal"
Starring: Marc, Dan, and Akshat!
Potential Things This Week:
It's Episode 40 of the Is This A Thing Podcast! Recording troubles (*cough* Akshat's incompetence *cough cough*) forced us to start from scratch, but we still had an entire episode despite trashing two perfectly good topics. Did you know that you can get oatmeal at McDonald's? Horrifying.

It's Episode 39 of this Is This A Thing? Podcast!
"Everybody's Looking For Tony"
Starring: Marc, Dan, and Akshat!
Potential Things This Week:
It's Episode 39 of the Is This A Thing Podcast! It's kind of a jumble of many questions, and poor sound quality. Lucky you! We start by talking about 912: a revolutionary new number to call on people committing minor crimes. Ruin their dating life! Hooray! We also talk about metric time, which is a bad idea mostly because it leads to conversations like the one in this episode! We also talk about BabyMoons! It's taking a honeymoon, right after you have a baby! Mostly, there should be government programs that allow people to have like, a minute, after having a baby. Jesus, is that so hard? They just need, like, a goddamn minute to rest their eyes.

"Vice President Criss Angel"
Starring Marc, Dan, and Akshat
Potential Things This Week:
It's episode 38 of this Is This A Thing Podcast! We start our courageous journey by offering a Vice Presedential nominee for Donald Trump. With this pick, he's got it in the bag. The bag also a contains a live rabbit! Magic! We then continue by talking about the plague of Dick Watchers vis a vis using your phone at a urinal. They're everywhere. Luckily, we have a solution. Then, we move on to a wonderful listener question from Mike, in Minneapolis. Is cash dying out? Yes, probably. Stop resisting change, olds. It's the way of the future. Finally, we talk about adult coloring books. Marc gets really angry, but don't worry. He apologizes for it.
