Wait...That's a Thing?

The sweet 16th episode of Wait...That's a Thing features random musings on a random catalog that was delivered to the house last week, a jury duty update, a couple of historical things and ends with the once in a lifetime opportunity to sit in the newly dubbed "Third Nerd" chair on an upcoming episode for one lucky Thingee. A lot of things to talk about in the upholstery shop adjacent parts of the...

Welcome to Episode 15 of What That's a Thing! We dive into the new Taylor Swift double album, as only we can - with no real knowledge, interest, or insight. Then we transition into a Careers - how Ian got into and out of Radio, and a dream job for a multiverse Lucas. We wrap up with our very different takes on thrill seeking. Thanks, as always, for your support and taking some time out of your day...

Congratulations! We all survived the Great American Eclipse (mostly) We get back into the upholstery shop to talk about how heavenly bodies moved us on Monday, some talk about spirit, and a historical aviation thing. Thanks for your ongoing support of the podcast.  

A spring time Nor-easter gave us the opportunity to try that whole Zoom thing a try. After a couple of years of remote schooling and meetings, you'd think we'd have the hang of it....guess again. We dish the digital dirt on eclipse plans, video games, and a Lucas does a little fact checking.   Thanks for listening!

Welcome to Episode 12!  Our very guest this week has had a very coloful past, to say the least. From art-supply manufacturer to meteorology major to math teacher! He even shares the surname of a fictional character Lucas would want to punch in the face. BJ Burns stops by the upholstery shop for a wide ranging, super-sciency, conversation.    Join in on the conversation: Join us on Facebook! Instag...

Ten Episodes In! Who'da thunk it? We spend the afternoon discussing some social skill sharing, dinosaurs, balloon animals, and ways to make Shroom dishes easier and more cravable. A lot of things...becuase this isn't a show about NOthing, it's a show about ANYthing.   Thanks for listening. We appreciate that shares, likes, subscribes, emals, texts, hallway shout-outs and all of the  OTHER THINGS y...

Peit Lammert - Literally the nicest human being we know - stops by the upholstery shop. He was the drummer for Just Teachers, he is a school counselor, and has an amazing charitity that works to spread the love of drumming by providing kits for local kids.  It was a great opportunity to catch up with an old friend, learn about his work, and get into a few other things. If you'd like to learn more...

Happy Spring Ahead Monday!!!! This week in the old upholstery shop, not a lot going on but apparently a lot to talk about: Questions from an anonymous Thingee, car cleanliness, the nefarious benefactors of Sea Monkey profits, domestic appliance disputes, and perhaps the return of a beloved retail chain! I guess theres a thing for everyone! Thanks for listening. We appreciate that shares, likes, su...

Back in the upholstery shop after a week of school vacation. No guests this week as we share tales from the Sunshine State, the sceptic tank, and other musings from the past fortnight. A lot to process and catch up on in one sitting! Thanks for listening. We appreciate that shares, likes, subscribes, emals, texts, hallway shout-outs and all of the  OTHER THINGS you do! Join in on the conversation:...

So psyched to have Colin Sutch stop by the upholstery shop for a marathon gab-fest. We spent the afternoon before February Break talking about the life of a technology director, unusual laptop repairs, the plight of Portugese colonialism, and how exactly are we supposed to communicate nowadays. Plus a few more rambling and spontaneous topics! Thanks for listening. Tell a friend!   And make sure to...

Welcome to Episode 5! Super excited to have our first guest at the old upholstery shop!  Adam is an old friend, a former bandmate, as well as a dedicated educator, husband, and father.  Fun fact, he was also pegged to be a permanent member of the podcast until life, as it is want to do, got in the way. He brings insights into parenthood, a warning about vigilante utilities employees, some bold mus...

Trying to mix the sweet in with the sour this week.  Facebook is trying comment suggestions - that is a thing that maybe shouldn't be. Also, Lucas' strange obsession with glands, continuing to cast the bio-pic, and is it better to go supernova or just fade away? All things that we're thinking and talking about in the Old Upholstery Shop   Thanks for listening. We appreciate that shares, likes, sub...

WARNING: These Things Contain Taylor Swift Content! With the Kansas City Cheifs heading to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, that means that the two headed media monster of Travis and Taylor is heading to Sin City. We can't just Shake this Off! We had to call a quick emergency sesh to discuss the possible ramifications. Didn't even have time to get to the Upholstery Shop for this one. These predictions...

This week, once Lucas finishes busting up the studio, we can't wait to dive into some pretty heavy things.  Second Semester, shopping cart etiquette, sumo-sized sidekicks, and what clickbait listicle writers really think about our beloved state are just some of the things we're chatting about. Plus, a coupe of new questions going up on the Facebook page and an opportunty to show off your dance mov...

We spent some time in November and December doing some test recordings. Most was a hot mess, but some little things were worth salvaging and sharing. We thought it would be a good idea to get to know Lucas to help define his point of view. Here are a few questions and answers. Guaranteed to be a Bom-Diggity Doopid time for all! Thanks for the LIkes, Comments and Shares!!!  Join in on the conversat...

It's only mid-January, and we're already looking forward to summer. Plus thoughts on straight toes, Macaroni, and Panda Bears. These are just some of the things that we've been thinking about this week. Join in on the conversation: Join us on Facebook! Send us an email!

We spent some time in November and December doing some test recordings. Most was a hot mess, but some little things were worth salvaging and sharing.   For example, these few minutes debating whether or not one could be too old to sport a pompom hat.  Note: Lucas ACTUALLY knew a thing: pompoms were worn by sailors to keep from bumping their heads below deck. Who Knew?  

Lucas and Ian talk New Years Resolutions, assistive technology for the aging and socially awkward, and a fad that set THE standard for novelty gifts. These are just some of the things that we've been thinking about this week. Join in on the conversation: Join us on Facebook! Send us an email!
