117: Filthy Rich

So here’s this week’s thought experiment: If you were super, super, super wealthy, which chores would you shop out to other people? And which would you keep for yourself? Would you still find a meditative moment in laundry or have a TaskRabbit come get it and do it for you?

I realized after the show that honestly the thing I hate most about doing dishes isn’t even the washing of the dishes, it’s the unloading. So I think I’d hire some very tall minion to come put my dishes away for me every could of days and I could handle the rest.

What do you think? Listen to this episode and ponder it for yourself:

Also, a listener called in - and coined a new term: SpotHeads - about using cheap vodka to clean the devices with which we consume fine combustibles. This is, of course, great because vodka is cheap as hell (cheaper than rubbing alcohol, by volume, often) and like, less deadly if you accidentally get some into your orifices.

One thing I’d like to add is that salt - regular or like, bigger, more granular salt - can also be helpful because it’s a delicate way to scrub away residue AND it helps decontaminate the piece, as salt is a natural antibiotic.

Speaking of salt, I can’t wait to hear the salty VMs we get regarding my theory about the two types of people (those who follow instructions and those who’d sooner die because they are chaos incarnate). Call us! Let us know which side you’re on.
