157: I Can Hardly Container Myself

First things first, this is my new tool and I really love it. It’s just so smart! The way the two bits click together! All of the different brushes and shapes each do a different thing!

I might have to get a couple more so that I have one in the kitchen and one in the bathroom. Think of all the crud you could scrape!!!!

In other news, we talked a LOT about Marley’s Monsters and the switch to more cloth and less single-use paper and plastic. That link is here and, just a heads up, they almost always do a Black Friday sale, so be sure to keep an eye out for that.

For reference, we use the unpaper towels, the small cloth napkins for hankies, the reusable sponges (we have a couple and wash them with the towels), as well as the mop head thingy.

Listen to us talk about that AND a whole lot more in this week’s episode:

Because Andrew can read a calendar and is an adult, he noticed that this week’s show was the last one before Thanksgiving, so we wanted to a pre-cleaning check-list, both if you’re hosting OR if you’re going to someone’s house. We also had a L E N G T H Y conversation about committing petty leftover-related crimes. But mostly, I wanted to share my Oh Shit People Are Coming Over checklist so I made a picture:

Just remember, the main things you need to do are make sure that everything which receives waste, dirty things, or used things (dishwasher, garbage, refrigerator, containers) are clean and empty and ready to go. Because Thanksgiving, or really any large meal (whether it involves colonization, broken treaties, and the general slaughter of an entire landmass of people) Is mostly about finding a place to put trash, dirty things, and leftovers. Right?

Finally, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Andrew’s favorite murder mystery, Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. Because OH MY.

You can listen to episodes on YouTube!!!!! If you want to do some really next-level putterer. What do you putter to? We’d love to hear it! It can’t possibly be weirder than 1940s radio dramas!
