67: Reverse Psychodidae

Have you ever heard Andrew get excited? Like REALLY REALLY excited? Because after today’s show — in which he shares the THRILLING tale of a cleaning adventure — you’ll know the sound of pure, unadulterated Andrew joy.

Plus, learn about my ULTIMATE LUXURY (spoiler: it’s watching TV in the shower) and we’ll read an email from a former military entomologist who gets to the bottom of drain flies/ sink worms/ all things creepy and crawly.

We also got into a conversation about THE CHAIR. THE CHAIR could be not-a-chair, it’s just wherever stuff accumulates in your house. A very famous instance of THE CHAIR in media belongs to Carrie Bradshaw. Carrie, a deeply unlikable character who definitely created unrealistic earning expectations for young writers, buys a big, gorgeous chair in an attempt to woo a man who she later treats like a pair of out-of-season Sketchers. That chair is then seen gathering ephemera from her apartment throughout the rest of the show:

That’s THE CHAIR in the left corner there, piled with newspapers. Also, “just what she needed” was THERAPY.

For me, I have a dresser where I put my still-clean pants when I don’t feel like folding them and putting them away approximately eight inches to the south. Although, I’m pretty cavalier with what’s clean/not clean and tend to put things back in the drawer when they are probably more well-suited for the hamper.

What about you? Do you have A CHAIR? Send us photos because that seems like an interesting subject.

As always, you can also call us on the Spotline — 508-HOW-WASH — and ask us your cleaning questions or share your feats. We love to hear from you! It’s less work for us!
