  • Episode 64 - Let's Go Streaking

    Welcome to Episode 64 of Wait...That's a Thing.

    This is the first of our Mega Summer's Over Brain Dump! All apologies for not getting weekly episodes out. We did actually record a bunch, but it's summer vacation and we're teachers so....

    This episode we ironically talk about finishing projects, RC Cars, fortune cookies, the weirdest wrestlers of all time and, believe it or not, Lucas complains about something. We also go back in time to discuss a sun's out, buns out fad that streaked through the nation.

    All that, plus a couple of palatable snacks, and more, from the upholstery shop this week.

  • Episode 63 - Next Level Adulting

    Welcome to Episode 63 of Wait..That's a Thing?

    Adulting is a thing and it's amazing how the curveballs keep coming. Real Estate purchasing, professional metaphors, taking care of kids, and when is one officially too told to get new friends? We also got on a wrestling tangent talking about walk-up music.

    We also have some fun playing a game that puts a new twist on dad jokes and have a couple of exceptionally disappointing snacks.

    All that, and more, from the upholstery shop this week.

  • Episode 62 - Break Glass In Case of Emergency

    Welcome to Episode 62 of Wait...That's a Thing?

    We start with the bitter reality that being fashionable isn't easy. After that, we begin to make summer plans with a QUAD-fecta of WTAT activities for the perfect afternoon. We evaluate popular board games, have a bunch of remarkably good snacks, question factory seconds, revisit sailors lost at sea, consider a limitation of professional athletes, determine what is and what isn't an emergency, and discuss meeting a world-renouned scientist.

    A lot going on in the upholstery shop...Enjoy!

  • Episode 59 - Mother's Day

    Welcome to Episode 59 of Wait...That's a Thing

    This week we start out with some deep thoughts on feelings - not quite as introspective as Inside Out, but close...

    We also go over our Mother's Day celebrations, breakfast, strange choices in popular music, nighttime drinking habits, and a whole host of really strange snacks.

  • Episode 58 - On the Clock

    Welcome to Episode 58 of Wait...That's a Thing?

    This week we are sequestered in the virtual upholstery shop, so we decided to try a little experiment: only limit the conversation to one free zoom meeting.

    So this week, we keep it brief: Vacation updates, the sad state of modern photography, more on shopping carts and parking lots, drafting things, and cryptic tidings of a possible future love.

    We covered a lot of ground in half an episode

  • Episode 57 - Just a Few Observations

    Welcome to Episode 57 of Wait...That's a Thing

    Inspired by Lucas' exclusive invite to a documentary premiere, we're doing a lot of observing in the upholstery shop this week.

    Ian observed that an 8 out of 10 is not as great as it may seem. We also observe that Lucas can, in fact, take group activiies seriously. Also the danger of shifting routines, why it's important to carry soft wipes at all times, the two most important types of books ever invented, and how some fashion statements can never come back. Plus 4 snacks!

  • Episode 56 - I'm on a Boat

    Welcome to Episode 56 of Wait...That's a Thing?

    TRIGGER WARNING: There may be some disparaging comments about fishing and boating (from at least one of us). Once we get past those hard-hitting opinions, we settle into some pretty mundane banter at the old upholstery shop.

    These include: Alternative ways to celebrate Easter, a science contest that hopes to solve large movements of mankind, survivalist tendencies, and a Guinness World Record that left us agape. All that and more! Thanks for listening.

  • Episode 55 - Norms!

    Welcome to Episode 55 of Wait...that's a thing?

    It's a sleepy Friday at the upholstery shop as we hit April. That, along with some other self-reflection, prompted the discussion of some podcast norms. Who knows if they will stick, but personal growth is a journey not a destination.

    We also talk about baseball bats, a notable 80's toy craze, the unitended consequences of shaving, and enjoy 3 very different snacks.

    So much going on!
