57: Gross Domestic Products

Have you ever been so horrified by a physical experience that you felt you might pucker so hard that you will physically turn inside-out? That is the level of sheer EWWWWWW we are dealing with on today’s show. A listener has brought us a next-level horror story that may even top the nail-trimmings-in-the-desk-drawer tale.

You’ve been warned. Listen here:

In other news, Andrew has officially declared that Christmas is over. But he’s got a bit of an issue — his tree, which came politely wrapped in twine and much closer to its days of, um, being alive, has become an unwieldy bundle of splinters. It’s a mess waiting to happen. What’s a boy to do?

Bust out the big guns (aka plant loppers) and turn your tree into a tiny pile that fits neatly in a yard waste / compost (?!?!? STILL A LITTLE VEXED BY THIS) bin. Check out our Insta to see a story of Handy Andy’s little post-holiday adventure. You can also imagine how it went down by staring at they gorgeous gif.

Thanks for another year together, Scrub Jockeys! We don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions, but we do believe in always doing a tiny bit better. So raise a sponge to that!

Oh! And here’s my little Circle of Brushes, since a couple of folks have asked for a link. It’s a FANTASTIC investment.
