The Thing That Happened This Week

It's a raucous eppy, y'all, so BUCKLE UP! Claire and Ian are joined by Chris Barlow, who teaches everyone about canaries in coalmines, how we are living in the future, being the stars of our own meltdowns, and Trump: The Game. The trio have some rowdy stories, including Chris meeting his most devoted fan, Claire witnessing a meltdown, and Ian having an epiphany about his true competitive nature. The night starts with Claire crying into a quart of ice cream, and ends with Whoppi Goldberg. Needless to say, you don't want to miss this one.@womanship@ibroski@iamchrisbarlow#ThisWeeksThing@ThisWeeksThingThisWeeksThing.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This eppy is your life-ly dose of pop culture, because Claire and Ian are joined by Guest Star Raj Rawal, and he's bringing us all to Peak Dopeness and Peak Wokeness! Raj walks everyone through the culture of Coachella, East Coast v. West Coast, Peak TV and 90s nostalgia, Daddy Issues of the Galaxy, and the ever-hilarious Fyre Festival debacle. Additionally, Claire is suffering from allergy attacks and materialistic nightmares, and Ian sees the final product of some hard work. #FreeJa, because Reasons.@womanship@ibroski@asaprajy#ThisWeeksThing@ThisWeeksThingThisWeeksThing.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week, Claire and Ian are joined by the ever charming Lauren A. Kennedy! This goofy trio gets into it, with old, unused English, Fyre Festival, and cutting certain people slack because they're hot. Claire is lit up over pennies, and also learns a valuable lesson about her worldview, someone volunteers Lauren to call the cops, and Ian's eyes are burned by parents slow-dancing. Would you pull that crap with Annette?@womanship@ibroski@laurensleigh#ThisWeeksThing@ThisWeeksThingThisWeeksThing.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We're baaaack! Claire and Ian are finally reunited, after Claire went to Paris and learned some party tricks/fell in love with French people. This episode has some serious Thought Threads, including (but not limited to): United Airlines, Claire doing her hair in the morning like a normal person, The Magnificent Seven, and how Ian is somehow simultaneously Spongebob and the Robin Hood of Fancy Best Buy. No one knows this train is about to explode, and PS -- We love The Gents.@womanship@ibroski#ThisWeeksThing@ThisWeeksThingThisWeeksThing.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week, LOTS of discoveries are being made: Ian hangs his toilet paper the wrong direction, Claire is far nosier than Ian would ever be, and kids' birthday parties have vastly improved since the 90s. Also this week, Ian and his friends are shaded on social media by a celebrity. Is that hardwood? No, IT'S TILE!@womanship@ibroski#ThisWeeksThing@ThisWeeksThingThisWeeksThing.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week, The Thing That Happened This Week is celebrating The Gents, who so generously provide the podcast's music every week!

Ahh, the beginning of Spring! The Thing That Happened This Week is in full swing with the new season. This week, Claire lives a major piece of nostalgia at Radio City, and Ian plays a mystical game, whilst drunk and high. The team discusses all things Harry Potter, how Claire likes to fall asleep to marching band music, and how Ian gives away dope party favors. Take that, and rewind it back -- Ur-sher got the voice to make ya booty go CLAP.@womanship@ibroski#ThisWeeksThing@ThisWeeksThingThisWeeksThing.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week is a roller coaster of Imposter Syndrome and the Return of Saturn! Ian is having a moment in his career, and Claire is completely here for it. Alternatively, Claire is a very specific kind of psychic, and Ian is very supportive. Also, Paul is a traitor, being a twin or triplet gets you exciting opportunities, and everyone should weigh the correlation between how rich they are, and how big their house is. Finally, Claire takes all the tangents (plus an extra one), et avec mon gateau, je voudrais un chapeau pour mon cadeau.@womanship@ibroski#ThisWeeksThing@ThisWeeksThingThisWeeksThing.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This is our musical eppy, it's a great night for a podcast, and we think we're funny. This week, Claire has a dilemma within a strange conversation, and Ian has another ordeal with bus transportation (and Claire can see exactly what’s coming). Additionally, the duo discusses how to get work by looking like someone else, and Ian uses Snapchat to verify he's not going crazy. Is any of this usable? We'll find out.

This week, the city is alive and kicking with the beginning of Spring! Things get statistical when Claire and Ian get into the nitty-gritty of auditioning, and Claire is angry about people not being decisive enough. Also, Ian cares for the welfare of an animal, Claire is confronted with a person from her past, and both hosts get the chance to sing Dido. Don't forget: Rejection is the greatest motivation, and Success is the best revenge.@womanship@ibroski#ThisWeeksThing@ThisWeeksThingThisWeeksThing.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

There's going to be a lot of flushing in this episode. Ian is getting his toilet fixed, and Claire is on a mission to find out how it REALLY happened. Also this week: The team discusses if there's a difference between a Mini Series and a Limited Series, how Ian spent an exorbitant amount of money as a result of the Race for the Cure for the Children of Brunei, and how Claire witnessed a charming moment in a Starbucks, wherein Ethel Merman met Bette Davis. The 90s are back, and don't you forget it!

In this week's eppy, Claire and Ian answer the age-old question: What sound does a Kit-Kat make? Things get earnest, as Claire is going through a career quandary, Ian copes with mortality, and the team talks Judaism, terrorism, and undermining authority. It's a heavy one, folks, but the upswings come in the forms of speaking French, and confirming once and for all which Legends of the Hidden Temple team each host is aligned with. The Thing That Happened This Week is single-handedly saving snail mail, as we speak.@womanship@ibroski#ThisWeeksThing@ThisWeeksThingThisWeeksThing.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week, Claire and Ian make a wager involving Ian's Ride or Die, Lupus Graymeal, and Claire's love of the HSM glory days. This episode is a weird one, including New York City treachery, spoonerisms, and a captivating moment where Claire sings a very famous song and Ian is completely lost. Don't forget, Harry Potter is producing a play, guilt is a wasted emotion, and if someone kicks a bottle full of pee, it's their fault.@womanship@ibroski#ThisWeeksThing@ThisWeeksThingThisWeeksThing.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week, Claire and Ian are joined by one-half of the Gilmore Guys, Kevin T. Porter! The group discusses the canon of Gilmore, Kevin and Demi's podcast, and what makes Amy Sherman-Palladino the most fascinating woman in dramedy. Beyond Fan-Girl Claire barely keeping it together, topics including MILF-y/DILF-y actors and the magic of Sex Ed come up. Additionally, Ian is really into carrots, at the moment. That's so gauche of him.@womanship@ibroski@KevinTPorter@GilmoreGuysShow#ThisWeeksThing@ThisWeeksThingThisWeeksThing.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week, Ian is opening and closing a show, and Claire has the flu, so here's a Little Eppy to tide you over! This special voicemail episode comes packed with a Nor'easter from hell, and an interesting moment where Ian forgets a common colloquialism.

It's another week, and another show! Last week, Claire, Ian, Jo, and Dalton chatted about the power of protest, so make sure you get caught up! THIS WEEK, Jo Kroger and Dalton Deschain are in the hot seat, for the quiz of all quizzes! If you've ever wondered what you should be reading, watching, and listening to, this segment has the #answers. Jo and Dalton are unbelievably knowledgable, and we are all here to reap the benefits (and the plugs on plugs).@womanship@ibroski@jokroger@daltondeschain#ThisWeeksThing@ThisWeeksThingThisWeeksThing.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
