Episode 36 of the Is This a Thing Podcast!

"A Free Watch and a Roll of Butt-Quarters"

Potential Things This week: 

  • Old Greeting Cards: Either they belong on the mantle or in the hearth.
  • Oscars 2016: Thank you to the Academy for forcing the youth of America to tell their mom why Mad Max: Fury Road is a good movie.
  • Marc's Watch: Is it Marc's watch, or is he just borrowing it from Haley Joel Osment?
  • Emergency $20: "What am I, made of emergency money?"

It's Episode 36 of the Is This a Thing podcast! The guys are back from caucusing, or at least Marc is. This week Akshat can't decide what to do with all the old cards people have sent him. Should he save them or are they all trash? Hint: burn them all.  The guys spend a little time talking about the Best Picture race.  No matter who won, The Revenant lost. Marc then tells the guys a tale of passion, intrigue and free shit from Amazon. Is it really his watch? Finally, Dan argues for an emergency $20. Marc wants to phone a friend instead.

"Cause as soon as you spend those butt-quarters, you put in another roll of butt-quarters."
