Wait...That's a Thing?

Welcome to Episode 90 of Wait...That's a Thing? Welcome back to another episode from the outskirts of Millville, where we kick things off with a classic debate over missing gear and the fine art of accidental "mansplaining" . In between evaluating the musical talents of our absent friends and contemplating whether anyone actually likes us, we dive deep into the heart-and-soul world of bass lines,...

Welcome to Episode 89 or Wait...That's a Thing? Awkward situations and awful smells dominate this this week's conversation as we get back to a good old fashioned game of "would you rather?"

Thanks for lis...

Welcome to Episode 88 of Wait...That's a Thing? The best Ocho-Ocho Italian Mashup since famous Italian Soccer Goalie Gianluigi Buffon wore #88. Technically, it's ottantotto, but you get the idea.

Plus, Lucas invents a brain-rott...

Welcome to Epsiode 87 of Wait...That's a Thing? This week, we recovered nicely from the rambling journey that was 86 and came with a copious amount of show-prep.

Welcome to Episode 85 of Wait...That's a Thing? This week we dive into an unconventional beauty pagent controversy, some not-so-hot takes on current basketball style, and reveal some surprising tv habits.

Welcome to Episode 84 of Wait...That's a Thing? This week we're in the virtual upholstery shop because someone not named Ian is a little under the weather; however, that doesn't slow us down.

Welcome to Episode 80 of Wait...That's a Thing? This week, Adam joins us for his all-time record 5th time in the third nerd chair. After that, it's really hard to summarize what was talked about.

Plus a couple of sna...

Happy New Year and Welcome to Episode 78 of Wait...That's a Thing? As we kick off our third year of the podcast, we hit a topic that keeps coming back again and again...just like corn...issues of home improvement.

Welcome to Episode 74 of Wait...That's a Thing?   This week, we uncover a very strange Thanksgiving tradition, sort through leaf-blowing injustices, and navigate the psychology of a marital "prepology" — the loophole that lets you avoid apologizing  after a disagreement entirely.

Welcome to Episode 73 of Wait...That's a Thing? This week has been predictably terrible - schedule interruptions, unexpected delays, malfunctioning furnaces and the start of the "most wonderful time of the year"; however, we tend to soldier through at the old upholstery shop. We talk about psychological conditions, an international sensation that was a sight to behold both coming and going, and tr...

Welcome to Episode 72 of Wait...That's a Thing? In honor of Evaluate Your Live Day on October 19th, we belatedly take the opportunity to look inward and answer some hard hitting questions about ourselves.

This time we play a new ga...

Episode 68 – Size Does Matter (with certain purchases) Welcome to Episode 68 of Wait…That's a Thing?

We sweat through the first week of school, argue Hawaiian shir...

Welcome to Episode 67 of Wait…That's a Thing? This week we break in our new recording spot—"The Wedge"—with stories of rattling cars, camping mishaps, and bug-in-the-eye disasters.
