Molly Wood  00:08

Welcome to it's a thing, the weekly podcast supported by you where we're passionate about delivering podcasts that facilitate the joy we find and sharing things with family and friends. And we're dedicated to bringing ever better podcasts and experiences to thing loving people everywhere. Thanks for joining us,

Tom Merritt  00:27

would you dare say after that imitation of another brand's mission statement that this podcast keeps things fresh that we're here to serve that we probably got left at an event

Molly Wood  00:45

that we evoke some of some of the fondest memories and have a place in hearts and homes

Tom Merritt  00:51

that we came out of the space program.

Molly Wood  00:55

And it's Pyrex eggs that is incredible. Also, I didn't know that those cool containers that are Pyrex on the bottom and a snap on lid at the top are actually called Snap

Tom Merritt  01:09

were really I didn't know that either. I have a couple of those.

Molly Wood  01:13

And now I want to like look that up and buy those specifically because those are the best.

Tom Merritt  01:18

I've also definitely lost one of those by bringing something to someone and I have no idea who or when. But it's gone. Yeah, because I have a little snap where I have a little portable thing that had three of them in it and then when we moved it only had to and I was like oh Wouldn't that have no idea.

Molly Wood  01:37

Or snap where

Tom Merritt  01:39

you just you know what? Pyrex Pyrex is everyone's it pretty much

Molly Wood  01:43

is the greatest it is the greatest and luckily has a mission statement like so many that suits our podcast just perfectly.

Tom Merritt  01:51

My first thing could be served in Pyrex dish is something that I just kind of noticed suddenly I'm like I'm hearing about this a lot. Is this the new Tri Tip? It is Tomahawk steaks.

Molly Wood  02:06

That is so true.

Tom Merritt  02:10

Like when I say try to remember like way back like 2000 mid 2000s 2003 2008 Everybody was into try tip Oh, I went to Trader Joe's and they had tried tip and everybody oh, here's my recipe for Tomahawk steaks is there now 20 years later?

Molly Wood  02:27

Wow, it really is look at this carnivore. style.com What is the tomahawk steak and how to cook it like a pro. It's so true. And I'm I'm I'm Oh, I'm having a memory of having watched something recently. That involves people getting Tomahawk steaks. It might have been like Iron Chef or something but it was a new episode. And I can completely see this with this this kind of the rise of like the I don't know the really like I butchered my old meat vibe. Yeah, sort of this like this goes with like paleo caveman steak,

Tom Merritt  03:02

right because it's got the name Tomahawk and sort of implies that you used a tomahawk to get it even though you just bought it.

Molly Wood  03:11

Can you buy a tomahawk steak?

Tom Merritt  03:13

No idea if you can't or not probably that would

Molly Wood  03:15

be bananas. Yeah, it's a bone in steak and it has a handle.

Tom Merritt  03:20

Yeah, that's where the tomahawk comes, because the bone sticks out like a handle and you can hold the steak. The steak part is like the blade, part of the tomato.

Molly Wood  03:29

Oh, my God. I mean, honestly, I now I need to go to a restaurant and see if it's on the menu because it's

Tom Merritt  03:36

on. It's on the menu. I'll just tell you right now. It's funny. I was listening to the barbecue and tech podcast. And I heard I think Chris say so when I do my Tomahawk steaks. And what struck me was not that he just assumed like, well, we all do Tomahawk steaks. But the fact that I didn't react to that the fact that I was like, Well wait, no, he's right. Because this TV show had them and I saw these people eating him and I saw it on the menu at this place. And I think I ate one recently. Like, I was like the word when did that happen? When did that stop being like, oh, a tomahawk steak. That's an interesting choice to be like, oh, yeah, no, everybody has Tomahawk steaks. They're they're all over the place.

Molly Wood  04:15

That's wild. I didn't think that anybody looked at this the big man's world tomahawk steak cooked perfectly. I like did not think people were trying to make these at home. Which I guess I don't know. Why not. I mean, it's just it has a big bone attached to it. And otherwise, it's just a steak. Yeah, it's just but I have always thought of this as like, a thing that only happens at restaurant.

Tom Merritt  04:36

Yeah. Or at a steak house. Right. French onions. Yeah, you don't make what? tomahawk steak. You're gonna want to go to Ruth's Chris or something for that. Yeah. Yeah.

Molly Wood  04:47

But turns out big man steak or whatever is like oh, yeah, now we're making that big man's world. By the way. There's a website called big man's world.

Tom Merritt  04:55

Oh, it's a big man's world.

Molly Wood  04:59

Absolutely wonderful. Well

Tom Merritt  05:02

Tomahawk steaks in it

Molly Wood  05:03

my first thing could not be more opposite.

Tom Merritt  05:06

Yeah, really? diametrically opposite

Molly Wood  05:12

because my first thing is Barbie core.

Tom Merritt  05:15

Oh more core.

Molly Wood  05:16

I love a good core core. Exactly. We just did that we need a sting. That's basically like, here's the core.

Tom Merritt  05:22

Yeah. Getting to the core.

Molly Wood  05:25

Today's core is in fact Barbie core. Because apparently this is how like out of it I am. There's the Barbie movie.

Tom Merritt  05:34

Oh my gosh, that is a that was a thing of the. That was one of those things that like it happened and then it stops. So I didn't put it in the bullpen. But yeah, the Barbie movie trailer was a huge meme generation engine.

Molly Wood  05:48

And I really have been out of it. But yes, Margot Robbie is in a new Barbie movie.

Tom Merritt  05:56

And everyone else you've ever heard of.

Molly Wood  06:01

Everyone else you've ever heard of. I gotta go watch this.

Tom Merritt  06:03

Yeah, no, it's c mu. Is it a

Molly Wood  06:07

really? Yeah. Oh my god fun.

Tom Merritt  06:11

Who's I'm blanking? Everyone's gonna make fun of me for blanking on the actual male Ryan Gosling. Ryan Gosling is in it. Kingsley benadir, isn't it? John Cena is in it. Helen Mirren Dua Lipa, Kate McKinnon Will Ferrell Michael Cera.

Molly Wood  06:28

Whoa, okay. All right. I got you. I gotta get caught up on this immediately. Thank you. Because indeed, literally in a piece published yesterday. It's like with the Barbie trailer taking the world by storm. Here is a guide to the best Barbie core looks from the Margot Robbie movie. And it's like, there's like a little gang dress. And then there's some pink strappy sandals and then Ken's pink jumpsuit and rollerblades, rollerblades.

Tom Merritt  07:00

This is gonna bring rollerblades back. It really is.

Molly Wood  07:02

Damn it probably will like I cannot wait for

Tom Merritt  07:04

there's a shout out to rollerblades in the trailer so it definitely is going to do that.

Molly Wood  07:09

And crap Barbie is sparkly jumpsuit Ken's denim vest I mean it just this this list goes on and on. And then evidently we know the Barbie core has actually even been a thing since slightly before although it's because I think you know there's been this like conversation about it but like Megan Fox went quote full Barbie core for a recent event with Machine Gun Kelly this is as of December Wow. 2022 and she combined things with Barbie core and underboob

Tom Merritt  07:40

Look at that. The multiplier effect.

Molly Wood  07:43

Multiplayer under boom multiplies the power of anything under mu

Tom Merritt  07:47

B Corp.

Molly Wood  07:49

Under boobie Corp Okay, I have a child because I am only ever saying under Ruby Core. That is the most fun thing will never stop. It seems to me that the key if I'm trying to dissect what is or is not Barbie core movie or not under movie or no. It's pink. Like it's toe pink.

Tom Merritt  08:18

Yeah, yeah, it's 100%. Yeah. Or my six year old niece is living in the center of this trend, because all she wants to do is see pink when she watches a music video. She says not that much pink or blue. A lot of like, everything is judged by pink. So she this is her moment. I'm very happy for her.

Molly Wood  08:39

Oh, yeah, this is this is gonna be a good summer for her. It's gonna be a good spring and oh, good summer because Barbie core is here to stay. I do not know. But it is here.

Tom Merritt  08:50

It's amazing to like, what you did here was you took what I couldn't do and brought it to the show because I was like, well, the Barbie movie trailer. I mean, if I had nothing else, I guess we could talk about the fact that it blew up, but it's already fizzling out and it'll come back again when the movie comes out. But you found the extended trail to it, you know, like but the effects the lasting side note of the trailer coming out and previous to it that yeah, this is amazing.

Molly Wood  09:22

I mean, let's be honest. You know, what I really found is the shopping angle.

Tom Merritt  09:27

Yep, there's nothing no shame in that. No, that's what I do whatever. For whatever gets you to the thing.

Molly Wood  09:35

Shopping thing. Amazing.

Tom Merritt  09:40

My second thing for today I heard about on the reading glasses podcast. It's their episode this week sorting books by mood is the thing is the literally what Mallory said on the show did sorting books by mood is a thing. But this is the thing beyond that is like picking the Books buy mood has become a thing. So not like I read science fiction, but I read happy books right now. Or oh, I'm in a bad mood. I really need some sad books or maybe I'm not happy. So I want some happy books. But but totally picking your books by mood is a thing. And now like actually sorting them, either whether it's on your to be read list or on your actual bookshelf, arranging the books like, Oh, these are the happy books. These are the sad books. These are the scary books, you know, that's absolutely become a thing now.

Molly Wood  10:34

Oh, I love the idea of organizing the books on your shelf by mood. Yeah, that's incredible. Yeah, there's a whole article about it just from February. So yeah, like brand new. And it says one might the it this is amazing, because it has a deep dive on what you mean, when you say mood? Like, is it romance? Or is it fascinating or weird or nostalgic? Oh, this is cool. Also, this makes perfect sense to think about books in this way and potentially even organizing them in this way. Because we do that with TV. Yeah. I'm in the mood for this or that. Right. But

Tom Merritt  11:12

for life story, I'm in the mood for an adventure story. Yeah, I

Molly Wood  11:14

just wanted to say I just want action. But what's cool is that there's even a term for this mood readers, mood readers. Yeah. And there's a whole write up about what does or does not make you a mood reader.

Tom Merritt  11:30

I would submit as well. That mood might belong there with core as an earthing. It's a mermaid, you know?

Molly Wood  11:40

Yeah. Yeah. A mood reader. Now, I'm not trying to be snotty, I swear. But let me read the definition. A mood reader is a person who reads according to their mood.

Tom Merritt  11:55

Said chat GPT. To disclose that Book Riot, I mean, no, I'm just kidding. Did this

Molly Wood  12:04

need a label? And yet, you know what? By getting it a label, you can have an organizational structure. You can have a marketing campaign, you can have a shopping component. I mean, I've also marketing work

Tom Merritt  12:21

played around with starting a bookstore, but I was always like, how am I going to differentiate? Like, what's the thing that gets people into the door? Because just being a bookstore that has books, that's not going to do it in this day and age, right? You gotta have a thing. Maybe it's the mood bookstore is the way you get people in the door.

Molly Wood  12:39

Mood books is such a cool name for a bookstore, right? I mean, it really is when you're shopping.

Tom Merritt  12:45

And Shannon says oh, can hang with vibes

Molly Wood  12:49

mood can hang with vibes. Book.

Tom Merritt  12:53

Book mode gore. Oh, my gosh, we did it.

Molly Wood  12:56

That's it that Bravo Shannon,

Tom Merritt  12:58

well done. Shannon K. Bravo.

Molly Wood  13:00

I want to go to mood books because not only would the books be organized by mood, but each part of the store would have like a little reading nook. Yeah, that was moody. So there's you could have one with like, can't LED candles because it's inside and you'd want to be safe and stuff but LED candles and like little sheepskin rugs and stuff. And then you'd have one that's sort of like sci fi inspired? I mean, how fun would it be to decorate the reading corners at mood bookstore?

Tom Merritt  13:24

And then you could have snacks that are mood oriented. Oh, it's

Molly Wood  13:29

x. I want this to exist.

Tom Merritt  13:33

Where is the old diner? That was the place where they shot JJ is diner in parks and rec closed down right at the beginning of the pandemic has not opened back up. It's just been closed for years now. And I've often fascinated been like, what if I opened like a cafe bookshop?

Molly Wood  13:53

My god time

Tom Merritt  13:54

mood. Cafe

Molly Wood  13:56

roots. That is your roots man.

Tom Merritt  14:00

Yeah, you have the alcohol in the set section and the coffee and the happy section. Exactly. And the TM like in the cozy section.

Molly Wood  14:10

I know and you have like Star Wars merge and like bam right? You have a whole you got a young adult one that just has like cute cool cord. He's got like Barbie. Dude,

Tom Merritt  14:19

I mean, honestly, that place isn't big enough to accommodate this idea

Molly Wood  14:22

to have that many corners, but you could swap them out Yeah, yeah.

Tom Merritt  14:26

I'm just saying I need a bigger place.

Molly Wood  14:28

Bigger you need a bigger place. God I did not know until that's what this podcast is. I did not know until now how badly I want to open a bookstore. Doesn't sound fun. I mean it sounds so fun and

Tom Merritt  14:39

you can make any money but it sounds so fun. Or

Molly Wood  14:43

instead of even having reading corners you know one way to do it is if your space is small, you just do it as the window like the Macy's window decor kind of thing. Oh and your window or rotate? Yeah. When you highlight a different mood each week,

Tom Merritt  14:56

right so the could have the mood sections but then the reading corner changes moods. Well, that

Molly Wood  15:02

quarter today what mood is the reading corner today and people have to go. And that's how you get repeat visit?

Tom Merritt  15:07

Yeah. And then and you make a big deal when the mood changes like all moods change in this week. Come check. Come find out.

Molly Wood  15:14

Yeah. Shannon says seasonal moods, because yes, hello cozy,

Tom Merritt  15:19

right? Oh, absolutely.

Molly Wood  15:22

I beach book mood. I mean, wow. Like I might buy a lottery ticket this weekend just in hopes of winning the lottery so that I can get that

Tom Merritt  15:34

store. Yes. Look, sorry, please do I will do.

Molly Wood  15:37

Great. Great plan. I'll go ahead and I'll email you when I have bought the ticket. And then I'll revert back to you when I know the outcome.

Tom Merritt  15:47

Wait, revert back to me. What do you mean, revert back to me?

Molly Wood  15:52

I mean, I might just like revert to you. You're going to turn back into me. So apparently, this is a thing that we now say really? Instead of I'll get back to you

Tom Merritt  16:05

know, really god. Also, thank you. Because now I know and will not be you're

Molly Wood  16:12

gonna see it. Yeah, definitely. You're not gonna judge right? Strongly. Haha. The person who sent it to you? Yeah. Because it's hard.

Tom Merritt  16:23

No, but that doesn't mean that

Molly Wood  16:25

can be a tough one for you. I know. And you know what? Incredibly, as with so many things in English language, it no longer matters. No,

Tom Merritt  16:32

I know, I know. I just gave up on fighting out of pocket.

Molly Wood  16:37

Out of Pocket really bugs me? Yeah. But at least that was colloquial, as opposed to an actual word. That means something. And which no longer means that,

Tom Merritt  16:49

but it doesn't mean but it does. Now. That's the beauty of the English language. Yeah, revert back to you now means get back to you. Get means get back to me. I guess really just when you really think about it, get doesn't belong and get back to you either? No, because you're getting it. So who am I to judge?

Molly Wood  17:09

And back to you doesn't really make any sense? No, you're not going back in time. All right, moving in reverse. So I got I'm

Tom Merritt  17:20

gonna just go over here and cry. I'll revert back to you when I'm done. Yeah.

Molly Wood  17:28

I got three emails in a single week, really. And they all said this. And I was like, what is happening? Because I am sorry, if you get three emails in the single week, and you look good. Like that's the thing. That's a thing, especially considering how unusual this is different people. Yeah, it's not not the same person either. Different three different people have different, like ages and ethnicities, actually, I think maybe all three No, no, they weren't all even the same age. Like when one guy is my age. And it was two people quite a bit younger than I am. So I looked it up. Because I was like, What in the blue blazes? And interestingly, it seems to have originated as a somewhat common, you know, typo, like mistake, primarily by Indian email senders sort of like, you know, like a thing that became a thing is do the needful. Hmm. Like that's a very common sort of Indian English speaker. Yeah. Where it's English as a second language, a person whose origin is India, the common phrase that they would say that you hear a lot actually is like, I do the needful. And it like, I'll do this thing that's necessary, right? required by you

Tom Merritt  18:40

Sure. That, that falls into like, I need it soonest or my bad kind of right. adaptations. Sure.

Molly Wood  18:47

Yeah. Totally. Or, like, sometimes you would even see it in an email as like, please to do the needful. And I just I've always loved it, because I didn't do the needful. It's delightful. So like, of course, right. So of course, I like picked up on it, loved it, do the knee but and it seems like it became common, I mean, literally, I looked it up and it was just like what in the the grammar exchange, you know, there's like a long back and forth about where this might have come from. Yeah, estimated. It seems like it came from Native Indian speakers. Okay. And I don't mean to generalize, I know there are 50 million languages. So I don't know which one right but it seems like it was a common typo or a common misunderstanding along the lines of do the needful. I will revert to you shortly. So they were what it was there was revert to you and then there was revert back to you. And I think maybe why they might reply. I just use the wrong

Tom Merritt  19:45

word. Right. Maybe even got them and they will just didn't notice it. Yeah,

Molly Wood  19:50

yeah. And so it really started as like I will revert to you shortly. And it seems like revert just became a common substitute for reply. And then it spread as these things do this, this, this thread and post like the last post on this thread on the grammar changes from 2021. And that gives a bunch of examples of people saying, you know, Indian English, kindly revert to undersigned immediately kindly revert to me soonest I wanted to refuse his request. But before I could revert, like just in place of reply. And then now, people are just saying, I'll revert back to her, I will revert to you shortly.

Tom Merritt  20:34

Yeah. I like that podcast revert all.

Molly Wood  20:40

Let's just rename it.

Tom Merritt  20:43

I mean, if you think about it, as I will revert this back to you. It kind of does make sense.

Molly Wood  20:51

I don't hate it.

Tom Merritt  20:52

I'm hating it less.

Molly Wood  20:54

I know. And, and I think it's like, if you take out back to you like the first person,

Tom Merritt  20:59

the backend parts is weird,

Molly Wood  21:00

right? The first person who said it just said, I'll revert to you. And I was like, well, that's not quite right. But I get it. And then of course, I was like, Is this some type type type? Is this some cool hipster VC thing that people say? And then I got it from a conference planner. And from a commercial real estate sales guy.

Tom Merritt  21:22

That's all the only thing I'm gonna say to you from now on when I mean reply, by the way,

Molly Wood  21:26

yeah. Oh, yeah. Reply is over. It is only reverting

Tom Merritt  21:31

replies, done, folks. Don't even say it. You're just gonna label yourself as old

Molly Wood  21:35

you are. I'll revert to you. As soon as I've secured the land for the mood bookstore.

Tom Merritt  21:40

We've actually talked about what I'm about to say before in the show, but I was reading an article today about the fact that punctuating your text messages reads differently to based on age. You know, like, if you're older, you look at punctuated text messages as polite, right? And like, oh, they took care to actually spell things and if, if you do it as a younger person, it reads as like, Oh, you're mad. I'm like, yeah,

Molly Wood  22:06

yeah. If I mean, God forbid, can you now I mean, I'm not even I am of the age to occasionally then occasionally still punctuating my texts once in a while. But if someone in my life ever sent me a message that was one letter K with a period after it I would literally bleep I would go into witness protection

Tom Merritt  22:28

yeah the period wow that's like double and down k period you are about to

Molly Wood  22:33

get murdered K

Tom Merritt  22:34

exclamation point would be better than K period for God's sake

Molly Wood  22:38

Yeah. K period is like get get out of dodge.

Tom Merritt  22:41

Yeah, that's like juicy Why are you staring at me? Kinda Yeah. Were you looking to start a fight so yeah, there you go. Folks. Revert There you go. Revert or start a fight. That's those are your choices. Thank you for your thanks feedback a day. It's a think duck B is the email address. That's what I was always intending to say great feedback. Jody wrote in with a thing formation Hi moto re getting caught up on past episodes and can confirm that Radwell is a thing here in Minneapolis. Honestly, I thought it jumped the shark so it never occurred to me to share. However, there is a cross fertilization with goodwill and my buy nothing group on Facebook. People will occasionally asked to put something in someone's Radwell box. I might do this with the ability to recycle thin plastic film that

Molly Wood  23:36

Whoa. That's a good thing Virgin's right there this Yeah, read well must have started in Minneapolis. There's no right.

Tom Merritt  23:46

Yeah, maybe I was in Austin last weekend and walked up to Justin Robert Yang's house and he had a red pill box on the front porch and like, real there it is the first time I saw in real life.

Molly Wood  24:02

Alright, let's see longtime patron and new shout out patron Baylor trucks wrote in Yeah, thank you synth thoughts and said back in the bol days. Oh my god, I would occasionally send you guys feedback as the anonymous musician. Oh, nice. You remember? Yeah, totally. Which is relevant because not only did I 100% understand Richard, shout out references from this week's show. In which by the way, I think it was Baylor's first appearance as a patron but I actually own and use all the mood gear he referenced. Wow. Yeah. And he also there was a wonderful back and forth in which Rich was like prove it not really. But he was like one bonus point send us all the send us a picture. So he sent a picture of the modular synth rack and even linked to attract that he created with said Moog gear. Wow, that just happened you guys that was 100% serendipity.

Tom Merritt  24:57

So there you go, folks, if you really want to win riche over for your ShoutOuts send them some pictures of your gear. Yes. Since gear Yeah, particularly since gear tracks Joe hood has a new language meme thing. Ooh, host listeners and distinguished producers. I think I've seen the thing that is the next thanks for coming to my TED Talk. And it is podcasts, specifically a new trend on short form video where people pretend to be doing a podcast and it is really an ad or Buzz generating PR effort. Evidently there is some authority and credibility imparted by sitting at a conference table or desk speaking into a sure microphone. Here's a Yahoo article from last week telling more related to the text TED talk. I am predicting that substack will be a bigger thing over the next two weeks with the arrival of the notes feature and people looking for alternatives to Twitter. Maybe we will see a flurry of new newsletters and calls for signups I know at least one great one came online last week cough MW cough. Keep up the good work. Don't forget to like and subscribe. When did you send this? That's the key.

Molly Wood  26:05

That's so scary because we got it.

Tom Merritt  26:08

Nailed it.

Molly Wood  26:12

Because substack and substack notes. I mean, also just like for you know, sausage making Tom and I were having a meeting right before this about spinning up independent podcasts cough cough stay tuned. Mm hmm. And we're having a whole conversation about notes and substack. And I was like, This is what my free newsletter this week is all about, like substack as a media company in a box of debt. It's huge. And it's all because like Elon blocked it and then it just became the thing to do in that. Wow. Yeah. So yes, I again, don't know what the timing was on Joe's email. But I'm going to assume given the level of THD in our audience, especially longtime listeners like Joe, it was probably before

Tom Merritt  26:54

Yeah, I can't find the date stamp. But I'm gonna give it to you because I it must have been. When did he send that new that Yahoo article? That other dates? Yeah,

Molly Wood  27:04

yeah. I opened it. Yeah. April 5, I think was the fake podcast where apparently Yeah, it's like

Tom Merritt  27:11

people are doing these viral fake podcasts. All right, so he's just heard on this

Molly Wood  27:15

show, stryd Domus nailed it.

Tom Merritt  27:19

Let's get to the shout outs. This is a special service only provided by it's a thing if you support us on Patreon at the highest level, if you're able to really give us a lot to support the show, we return that support in the form of a shout out that is based on something different other other other shows they just say your name right and that's fine boats we Richard Stroffolino. Our producer is not satisfied with that he goes the extra mile to create a custom tailored shout out this week based on the April 13 2000 Episode summary of the soap Port Charles.

Molly Wood  27:58

I'm so happy I'm already so happy right now. All right, you take the first paragraph and I'll take the last two

Tom Merritt  28:05

attempts Laura Abel and Jake woods were forced to work side by side in the emergency room, and both became convinced that their relationship was over. Andrew Bradley began to notice that there was something odd about Gabrielle Cohen's behavior. AJ ventrella Eric Duncan and Joe hood jumped into action when a bride and groom were brought into the emergency room on their wedding night.

Molly Wood  28:31

On the way to the Louis St. Amour institution, Lee price and Baylor trucks were involved in an accident with a young man named Kevin SIL. He was taken to the hospital and Mike Aikens and Benjamin Forrest later learned he was complaining of symptoms no one could prove existed. Meanwhile, meanwhile, Oh,

Tom Merritt  28:51

I thought I thought it was a 123 go keep going keep going.
