Episode 12 of the Is This a Thing? Podcast!

"Open Source Popcorn Soup"

Starring: Marc, Akshat, and Dan

Potential Things this week:  

• Pound Town: We propose a trip to our significant others. No one accepts.
• Soylent: A solution to food for people who think food is a problem.
• Movie Theater Popcorn: Trash food for trash people that makes too much goddamn noise while I'm trying to figure out who the Gone Girl is.
• Food Noise: We diagnose Akshat with Misophonia. 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.

Is This A Thing Episode #10: Alan Rickman: Boy Wizard

Episode 10 of the Is This a Thing? Podcast!

"Alan Rickman: Boy Wizard"

Starring: Marc, Akshat, and Dan

Potential Things this week:  

• Alan Rickman: Boy Wizard: A one man show that could sell out Carnegie Hall for the next decade. 
• Naming Your Dog: There is no wrong name to give your dog, as long as the human name you give it is for the purposes of social change.
• E-Cigs: Why put smoke in your lungs when you can look like a robot?   
• Books: Take all of your old used books, make sure there's an electronic version somewhere, sell them to a used bookstore. 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!
