What kind of things, exactly? All kinds of things! Movies, foods, cities, bands, shows, books, albums, toys, pictures, moments. Each episode, join long-time collaborators and best pals Brian Altano and Max Scoville as they focus on a different subject, ask themselves what’s so great about it, share some anecdotes about how they grew to love it, unearth some trivia about it, and celebrate the fact that it exists.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/this-thing-rules-7009668"},"episode":{"title":"Trucks (The Non-Ice Cream Kind) Rule!","slug":"trucks-the-non-ice-cream-kind-rule","published_at":"2025-06-20T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/this-thing-rules-7009668/trucks-the-non-ice-cream-kind-rule","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/this-thing-rules-7009668","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thisthingrules/episodes/Trucks-The-Non-Ice-Cream-Kind-Rule-e34elrq","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/f4b56fa4/podcast/play/104338746/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-5-18%2F99257f34-9905-cf29-5692-540c9eb90ee0.mp3","summary":"Last week we talked about our love of trucks that have ice cream inside, and this week… we’re talking about all the other kinds! But hold on, what’s a truck? A pickup? A steamroller? The Power Loader from Aliens? What we lack in expertise or first-hand experience, we make up for with an appreciation of wheeled wonders that also sometimes have big tank treads. Little trucks, big trucks, old trucks, expensive trucks, monster trucks, and other modern dinosaurs of the road, whatever they are, we love them! It would totally rule if you helped support the show on Patreon at patreon.com/thisthingrules, You can also show your support by following us on Bluesky and Twitter @ThisThingRules, or find our little corner of our old podcast’s Discord at discord.comedybutton.com - and of course, we’re always happy to get email from listeners at thisthingruleshow@gmail.com Intro contains clips from a Tonka commercial, Sisqo’s “The Thong Song,” Over The Top and various truck sounds.","meta_description":"Last week we talked about our love of trucks that have ice cream inside, and this week… we’re talking about all the other kinds!
