Podcast!"Dan Week!"Starring: Marc, Dan, and AkshatDan's Potential Things This Week: Leftovers: Remember when Dan ate all of Marc's leftovers after Marc's bachelor party? Neither does Dan apparently. But he does remember the way it made him feel... It was sexual. The Dan Method: Listen, as Dan has an actual, bonafide good idea. We were just as shocked as you.

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.

It's Episode 49 of the Is This A Thing? Podcast!"Juggalo Moms and Soccer Dads"Starring: Marc, Dan, and AkshatPotential Things This Week: Juggalo march on Washington: We're all marching, why not the Juggalos? Why not let them run the country? We're not here to make a political podcast; we've specifically been banned from doing that. Either way, they're marching, so if you're a fan of bad music and worse drinks, book a flight now. Intermissions in Movies: It's all about finding your favorite intermissionist, you know? Sure the Arclight in Hollywood costs 30 dollars a ticket. But Johnathan is an artist, and you can't put a price on art. Boneless Chicken Wings: Are they just chicken nuggets sold to adults. Well, we'll be the judge of that. On this podcast. It's basically the core concept. 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?  Special thanks to Fletcher Magellan for our theme song, "Oh, No!" from his album Became a Stranger.

It's Episode 48 of the Is This A Thing? Podcast! "Reginald's Parking Lot"Starring: Marc, Dan, and Akshat! Potential Things This Week:New Year's Resolution: New Year, New You! Or, New Year, same old you because honestly, have you looked around? It's dark times. What's the point. Phone Cases: Has adulthood ruined the novelty of phone cases? Maybe. Maybe you can look at it that way. Or maybe you can get you a "get it" phone case, march into an interview, and get hired on the spot. Unemployment solved! You're welcome, Donald. Lightning Round!: It's Lightning Round Time! Where we go and explore the depths of twitter, and find the depths of humanity. This week starring Reginald. Problematic, probably should be in jail, Reginald. And if you though Reginald was bad, wait until you hear from someone in Florida!Listener Question!: Okay, not really. It's bots. It's bots all the way down. Bots have infiltrated our world, and they're producing poetry and winning the Nebula Prize. Had anyone checked to see if Tracy K. Smith is a robot? Just asking questions.Making Movies Better: How can you improve the move going experience? Well, shut up, for one. And where's the kid with my latte?    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!"That's her get it phone case"    Special thanks to Fletcher Magellan for our theme song, "Oh, No!" off his upcoming album Became a Stranger.

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: Marc Got Into A Car Accident: Hey, Marc got into a car accident, but he's fine. His blue Prius is gone, but the real tragedy is that his Kanye CDs are gone. The ones he used to listen to Kanye West! How will he listen to one of the most ubiquitous, well-known artists in the last two decades now? We'll never know. Smartwatches: Welcome to Akshat's watch corner! Akshat assures you that as much you would like to hit him in the face after hearing this segment, he probably wants to hit himself in the face more. Sub-Dermal Magnets: That's right, you heard us. What's confusing about sub-dermal magnets? Is that the core concept? The basic question we all need to ask ourselves when we do anything: why bother? Well, we don't have any answers for you. Just disdain. Ping Pong: Is it truly a stereotype for Asian people to be good at ping pong? Where does the term come from? Follow us on this ethnography that most critics described as "offensive" and "banal, lacking insight, and largely racist". 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. "You know this guy murdered his kid, right?"

It's Episode 46 of the Is This A Thing Podcast! "Flowers For Norma"Starring: Marc, Dan, and Akshat! Potential Things This Week: Gifting A Janitor You Know at Work: This is a listener question! Hooray! Is it okay to get a gift a janitor that cleans up your office? How about your favorite barista? And what do you truly get a 65 year old Jamaican woman who is going to leave the country soon?DnD Names: Another listener topic yay! How do you go about naming your DnD character? Is there a formula? Of course there is, dummy! Why would you waste our time with questions like that! Time's precious, and here you are questioning. Ugh. Well anyways, maybe you'd like to be Ink "Bottle" Stevens? Have you heard of the legendary adventures of Wireless "Charger" Johnson? Makeup For Men: Can men wear makeup? Will other men allow this act to occur? Will there by rioting in the streets? Look, it's all about enacting a change. There was a dark time in our young nation's history where codpieces were as looked down upon as murder or eating at a Burger King. But now every man enjoys the advantages, comforts, and if I can be so bold, pleasures that codpieces bring to our lives. And it all started with Codpiece Jones, a civil rights activist from (what he claimed was) the third dimension. He was from Iowa. He was a hero. 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. "Aw Fuck Yeah! Get that bitch a casserole!" Special thanks to Fletcher Magellan for our theme song, "Oh, No!" off his upcoming album Became a Stranger.

It's Episode 45 of the Is This A Thing Podcast!"The Idaho Hall Of Fame"Starring: Marc, Dan, and AkshatPotential Things This Week: Game Shows for Politicians: It's already ridiculous, why not go full force? Instead of debates, they compete in game shows! I mean, if you're going to go into town, take the Lincoln. In-flight Safety Videos: It's all videos now, and it's all terrible now. It's terrible. We're all screwed. Rating Actors Based on Success: That's the price of fame - constant judgement. I guess celebrities were already paying that price, but now there's a number associated with it! 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.

They're both incredibly sad!  Also, there's a hot pocket update, but the sad thing was already mentioned. New Year's Eve: Welcome to another edition of "Dan has weird proposals that we should all follow". It's very confusing. But hey, the Chinese manage to have a different New Year's Eve, so they're doing something right! Also, Dan's moving to China.Cake Pops: What could possibly wrong with little balls of dough that cost 35 cents for someone to make, and cost $35 dollars to buy? Well, the economy, for one.Listener Question: Fast Cars Driving Slowly: Come on. Why buy if you're not going to have a piece of the pie? Hey, did you see that rhymed? That's a free rhyme. In this economy? You're welcome.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!   Special thanks to Fletcher Magellan for our theme song, "Oh, No!" off his upcoming album Became a Stranger.

It was the last King of Popes? My mistake, your highness. Wraps: Dan's done with 'em. Listen, we're all done with 'em. Out with wraps. In with a warm, all-enclosing crispy crust, filled with hot real cheese. Thank you Cards: No one wants these anymore. You don't want these. What you want is a card dripping with sarcasm. Daddy Gets a Taste's got your back, bro. Don't even trip, dawg. Celebrity Drug Running: Listen, the show's got this title for a reason. But more than that, it's a brilliant opportunity. Who's gonna check Zuckernerd's fanny pack? You? The Police? Interpol? Nobody, that's who.  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. "Is anyone going to look inside James Franco's butt to see if he's shipping coke?

Special Thanks to Taylor Higgins (@TaylorHigs) for the logo! 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: Punishments for Everyday Wrong-doing: Marc's got a bold new plan for people committing minor crimes: actual, real life punishments. Did someone tailgait you? Did a dog poop on your lawn? Go ahead and call 912, a government sponsored program that doles out appropriate punishments! Also your crimes might appear on your dating profile. Part of the deal. Rapid Fire Twitter Questions: All your twitter questions answered here! Women DWs? Metric Time? All the answers are no. Babymoons!: Babymoons? Babymoons! Something for the rich people, filtering down to the middle class, as long as you can afford it and don't need a job anymore. 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. "It's the Curse of the Craft" Special thanks to Fletcher Magellan for our theme song, "Oh, No!" off his upcoming album Became a Stranger.

Note: Daddy Gets A Taste Inc. is not responsible for any Dick watching that may take place. Cash Dying Out: A great listener question sent to from Mike, in Minneapolis. All of these new technologies are just a stopgap to the apocalyptic time when money will mean nothing, and this podcast will be done only to appease our mutant lizard overlords. Adult Coloring Books: In this, like anything else in life, we must defer to the wisdom of Bun B. 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!

This week, we discuss littering. Why does Dan do it? Why does it seem so funny? We'll never know. Next, Marc yells at anyone who enjoys Apple Juice. It's a super-liminal argument!

Special Thanks to Taylor Higgins for the Logo. Follow her on twitter: @TaylorHigs It's Episode 29 of the Is This A Thing? Podcast!"Sell Us Your Rebates!"Starring Marc, Dan, and AkshatPotential Things This Week:Birthday Gifts for Akshat -  Will Akshat's true desire be fulfilled? Nope, though you will get to hear the word "Gropener" said about 20 times, and in spontaneous harmonics. Single Ply Toilet Paper - It wouldn't be ITAT if we didn't spend 20 minutes talking about poop and we can use it to improve the nation. Also - Akshat goes too far. "Hey, I didn't mean to talk to you!"- A new segment, where people who aren't listening unknowingly ask us questions. It all ends in your benefit! Also, we make plans to get some Australian girl extradited and then arrested. Listening Question - Rebates! - Listen, we all know Rebates are a thing. The real question is, would you sell us your mail in rebate? We both profit! Why not? Tell you what, go ahead and mail in your mail in rebates to us, and we'll get it all figured out for you. It's episode 29 of the Is This A Thing Podcast! Travel back in town to the sexy steamy summer days of 2015, as we pull one from the vault! In past land, Akshat hasn't moved yet and still lives in Minneapolis. Also, it was apparently his birthday recently? You can hear him get his presents! Crazy to think that a time existed before 'Straight Outta Compton' was released. It's wild. Anyways, true to form we basically talk about poop for 20 minutes or so. Mostly about single-ply toilet paper. We then move onto twitter, where we give advice to people who accidentally tweeted at us instead of hashtagging "Is this a thing". It's a wonderful segment we're calling "Hey, I didn't mean to talk to you!". Also, we're just kidding about harassing that girl via twitter. Our lawyer told us we had to mention that. We finally reach a wonderful listener topic from Chris R in Minneapolis - Rebates! Are rebates a thing? We're pretty sure we have an answer, and we're pretty sure we have an award winning business idea to go with it. So join us as we enter first back into your phones, then slowly and creepily into your homes, and finally reach our destination: your hearts.

How could it go wrong? It can't! Also we discuss height and Akshat eats puppy chow halfway through this, and it sounds awful. He's really sorry about it. Happy New Year! "How aged is this glue?"

It's all you can reasonable do. Commuter Banana: Do we really need explain this one? It's Episode 20 of the Is This A Thing Podcast, and it's all about YOU! Yes YOU, the listener! We start with an interesting discussion of the limited nature of old toys in the modern age, thanks to a listener question from Jenny, in California. You'll also hear us talk about some rad yo-yo tricks. Riveting. We then move to a listener question from Anna, in Minneapolis, about farting in public. Dan points out the terrible things he's done vis-a-vis farts in public, and no one is really surprised at this point. We end with a discussion about Commuter Bananas, sent in by Annie in Minneapolis. Akshat lives there! It boils down to this: pop a banana in your breast pocket, and you're suddenly the belle of the ball. Try it! Finally, you'll want to stick around after for our Fan Appreciation Kicker! It made all of us almost throw up.

Podcast!"Hot Tony Goes to the Movies (Alone)"Starring: Marc, Akshat, and DanPotential Things this week:  Bathroom Graffiti: Don't look away from your phone while you're in public restrooms. Unless you're going to write "Hot Tony" on the wall.The Stupid Dan Show: Like the Truman Show, but about Dan. Also stupid.Astrology: Dan insults his friends for a few minutes while Marc and Akshat laugh at him.Going to Movies Alone: Who has the time to go to movies alone? Depressing people. That's who. Are you the old man watching Up by himself and weeping? Way to make everyone sad, guy.Episode 16 starts with bathroom graffiti. Everyone wants to be a bathroom comedian. Hint: no one is. Except that one guy who wrote "Hot Tony" on the bathroom wall. But he's probably a comedy professor at Harvard by now. Then Dan talks about his worst nightmare: being dumb. (Nobody tell him). He takes a stab at debunking astrology before giving up. (See?) We then debate going to movies alone. The only way to do this and not be creepy? Bring a clipboard."I don't want to kill him.

Special thanks to Taylor Higgins (@TaylorHiggs) for our logo!  Episode 15 of the Is This a Thing? Podcast!"Operation Slap 'n Tickle"Starring: Marc, Akshat, and DanPotential Things this week:  Movie Trailers: Sure this is a nuanced topic. But you know how we can solve it? By relying on our nation's true warriors. The ones that lead us out of darkness. The brave souls who show us the true way to freedom. We speak of the Film Students.  Supporting Things: Listen to us weave a web of cynicism that is both useless, and baseless. Also, nothing matters and everything is terrible. Taxis: The best thing to come out of the demise of taxis and the rise of Uber and other unmarked taxi services, is the occasionally experiencing the first half of getting carjacked by drunk people.  It's Episode 15 of the Is This A Thing Podcast! This week, we discuss whether movie trailers are a thing. It's a heated discussion, touching on Proust. Seriously, Proust. No, for real go listen, we talk about Proust. We then move on to supporting things with money. Have you ever wanted to heard Dan accosted for his beliefs by two belligerent, sad and cynical people? Well want no longer you can hear it all in this episode. Finally, we discuss taxis,  which we (along with the rest of the world) have nothing but contempt for. Instead, we all like Uber, especially when people assume you are their uber ride, and accost you, and you pretend to put on a brave face and drive away, and then cry a little and call your mother. It's a week of fun! A week of mystery! A week of praising Film Students! Hey come on, be nice. They need a break from bringing people coffee and making a frame with their fingers and looking through it all the time. "Roger Mr. President. Operation Clown Farts is go.

Podcast!"Multidimensional Dog Buffet"Starring: Marc, Akshat, and DanPotential Things this week:  Newscasters on Television: We're not sure there's a concrete answer to whether real newscasters should be allowed in fictional universes. We do know that we'd like Larry King in all fictional universes, playing all the roles.  Buffets: Forget every opinion you had, because you've been living in a Ivory Tower, going to buffet after buffet and getting fat on chinese food and judgement. General Tso' Pizza: The good idea train keeps rolling. Yes, we've applied for a McArthur Genius Grant. No, they won't return our calls.  Facebook Page for Pets: Having a Facebook page is what separated us from the animals. It's the most human act outside of differentiating between a salad fork and a regular fork.  It's Episode 13 of the Is This A Thing Podcast! We discuss whether it should be okay to have real newscasters in fictional TV Shows and movies. Is it a difference in approach? Is it that we want Larry King to play all the roles in the next Mission Impossible? You'll find out! We then move to Dan's controversial hatred of buffets. Like with most things, Dan's solution is bread lines for the poor. We also come up with the most amazing food of all time: Chinese pizza! The possibilities are as endless as the diarrhea is sure to be! Please give us money. Finally, we have another listener question: is it a thing to make a Facebook page for your pet? We know what you're thinking, and the answer is yes: it would be great if cars sent really hyper sexual tweets to their owners. We're all on the same page here.   Special thanks to Fletcher Magellan for our new theme song, "Oh, No!" off his upcoming album. Listen to it, and other singles like it on his Soundcloud.

The only cure is isolation.Soup: Too hard to eat properly? Yes. In Open Source Popcorn Soup, we discuss Soylent, a food-alternative that fixes the problems of buying and preparing and eating food. Who has those problems? Marc has those problems. Next, listen to Dan's vendetta against movie theater popcorn! The only good use of your popcorn is to keep people away from your seat. Later, we discover that Akshat has been living with Misophonia for his entire life. You can literally hear the repression! Finally, Soup comes up again, and remains just as controversial as it did the first time.

Podcast!"A Handwritten Request for Help"Starring: Marc, Akshat, and DanPotential Things this week:  Asking for Help: It's by the birds. Just take a left at the Linda District. General Incompetence: 90% of people, 100% of the time. Fountain Pens: Do you need one? Maybe. Should you use one? Maybe. Should the government send you one when you turn 25? Definitely. Hot Towels: How open do your pores need to be to truly enjoy Sushi? Find out here! ITAT Hair: Ever wanted a crappy haircut given to you by a state congressman? In this week's episode, we discuss whether you can ask someone for help, and Marc seems a little violent about the whole thing. Probably because of the atrocities he suffered venturing into the Linda District. Akshat gives a passionate speech about how everyone is terrible at everything, which you can read in a new book he'll write in a few decades. It's a legacy thing. You wouldn't understand. We then venture into Fountain Pens, which concludes with a new law being proposed. Call your Senator. Call the President. A Fountain Pen in every mailbox across America is the type of campaign platform that wins elections. Dan talks about the necessity of Hot Towels. If you start thinking it's like a weird sex thing with him, congratulations! So does everyone. Finally, a new way to get haircuts at ITAT Hair. Get a haircut from the Speaker of the House!

Burn the bookstore to the ground.Alan Rickman: Boy Wizard is the best idea to come from this show since ITAT Air. An entertainment idea that could easily sweep the nation, if only Akshat won the lottery. We then venture down the rabbit hole of Dog Names. Did you know that your dog's name is wrong? It is, unless it is a compound noun, reference humor or a human name for the purposes of social change. Listen to Dan talk Marc off the ledge of buying E-Cigs, an unregulated phenomenon that is sweeping the nation. And finally, Books. Stop printing them. Start publishing them online, and start collecting them in an area that Marc can easily find...Gasmask! Sit! Good boy!

Podcast! "Randy's Rockets and Bikes"Starring: Marc, Akshat, and DanPotential Things this week:  Fireworks: They're explosions in the sky, created by engineers, lit by a sad man drunk on cheap beer. It couldn't be more American. Tandem Bikes: Remember the Seinfeld moment, where George double dips? Tandem Bikes are kinda like that. Except instead of your whole mouth, it's your lame relationship, and instead of the bowl, it's all of society and existence all day long. Sitting Down to Pee: No Angle. Just Twitter.  An email question from Trevor, from the Midwest! Please note that the answer is completely unrehearsed and spontaneous, making it completely true. It's the 4th of July Episode of Is This A Thing, only a week late! That's not too bad, come on. Things have been worse. In this episode, we talk about a variety of things that are thoroughly American, like biking, explosions, 7th Heaven, and The Wire. We talk about other things too, but those are the most important. We also get an email question, which we answer quickly and decisively. We hope you had a safe 4th of July, though at this point if you did or not the consequences probably already happened. That's what America's about after all. Consequences.
