"I AM my own mom!" loved this whole bit around 1:27:13 BE YOUR OWN MOM AND DAD 2025 Most of my life I've had to be a parent to my own parents so I've got years of experience lol! I should be using that XP now as an adult to take care of myself the way I wished they had!
Wife and I are getting good vibes for this year too! Lots of change on the way. We adopted a new kitten, I got a new car, we are doing good financially, and now we are really hoping to have a kid this year! Love you guys, cheers to a good new year 🎉
my son is only six months but we definitely needed to save a lot of money for both my husband and I to take six months off when he was first born. We both work full time and we’re going to continue to work full time and just had to put him in a very expensive daycare that we had to get on the waitlist for back when I was freshly pregnant. Sometimes cleaning just doesn’t get done or you have to do it when our son is happy to watch me do it and I explain and show everything to him just to keep him entertained. Or I do it all exhausted after he goes to sleep 😅
Whoa whoa whoa hold up-- At 7:23 when you say _"It was hanging there for awhile"_ Were you referring to the sock or the drool? And what does Ian mean when he says _"only 1 day used sock"_ ?? My first interpretation of this scenario was that Ian sometimes wears socks for several days in a row, and had to sacrifice one that had only been in rotation for 24 hours to clean up some dog drool that had been dangling off the bed/adjacent furniture for hours, or days, somehow...? My brain clearly took a wrong turn somewhere in processing that information but I'm too afraid to ask precisely where.
I have a little/lotta bit-of-advice for dane, since he brought up that dust is kind of an issue: check your air filters. I don't know if you have just a mini-split, just one of those units that hangs out the window, or a fully ducted system, but increasing the level of airflow in your place can decrease the level of dust by a shocking amount. Most hvac systems are meant to have their filters changed out like every 3 months or so, pretty regularly. I dunno if this is something you've been doing or not, and apparently just below 3/10 of people never change it, so that could be helpful. It's one of those things like changing the lint filter in your dryer, and how some people just never do it because they don't know about it and then their house catches on fire, except with the air filters it just gives you childhood asthma. I'd also advocate for the use of fans in your space to increase the airflow. I'd probably recommend one or two of those rotating tower fans, since those are pretty easy to just set up and kind of forget about, but you can also achieve pretty good effects with a more conventional fan, like a floor fan or box fan, that's positioned well, which might offer better airflow. You might need to change the arrangement of furniture a little bit if it's creating dead spaces that air can't really penetrate into. Shelving that goes along the walls is a bitch for this, and so is the underside of couches and stuff like that. It's hard to encourage airflow when it's cold outside, and eliminate dust that way, since you can't open windows, and generally people don't want their fans to be on since they think it'll inherently make them colder, but you should probably just position your fans in such a way as to not blow on you directly. Pollen's a problem when it's warm outside anyways with all these stupid male trees everyone's planting everywhere. If you're really struggling, and your mini-split or window unit's filter is getting clogged too quickly or isn't really performing well, you could try making a corsi-rosenthal box, or if space is at a premium, even just attach a normal furnace air filter to the back of a normal box fan or floor fan. Those were popular solutions during covid as a cheap and effective air-filtration method, and they also work pretty well on dust and pollen and stuff. Ian could probably help you with that as a fun team-building activity or project, that seems like the sort of thing he would enjoy. Also I'm sorry that this is the third pod in a row that I'm leaving a super long-ass comment, but I'm a lonely nighttime janitor, so I listen to a lot of podcasts and I have a lot of time to think about things that nobody cares about. Especially when I'm cleaning the dust out from the knickknacks on someone's cripplingly cluttered cubicle. Edit: I also forgot, but if you do have air ducts, getting those cleaned/cleaning those out will probably help a lot, they can contain a lot of ambient dust.

Anisa grew up like me, my mom was a nurse but was a god tier cleaner, and taught us how to do a lot of it. Most are not growing up like we did Anisa, I remember my whole childhood I basically thought every house I went to but ours was dirty because we are definitely the outliers, not those who can't/don't clean as much
Hey guys, just wanted to jump in and say that I am currently working as a male housecleaner, and yeah I can definitely speak to how men are socialized to not clean. My mom as a single parent to my brother and I had us cleaning but I never really took it to mean anything. This was until I got interviewed and hired at my cleaning job where ALL of my co-workers are women. The roommates i've had who are men (or socialized as such) have had the exact same disregard and ignorance to what it means to live in a clean space. Not a slight against them, however I believe yeah it's indicative of a societal patriarchal system that enforces is gender roles not only by overt force but by simply choosing what to teach the different genders and what not to teach. Also Dane, as a male house cleaner you are not judged!!! Keep slaying girlboss
When my family moved into the house I grew up in it was actually an ex crack den. Because of this we rented half of a duplex down the street for like a month before moving in so that my parents could clean up the place. The basement was full of dog shit 😭 looks beautiful now after 25 years of gradual repair and renovation
I fricking love this shit. I was a snotty disgraceful idubbz fan in middle school and now 10 years later I’m a janitor for the school district working at the same middle school being a woke graceful idubbz fan. Always the podcasticular highlight of my week.
I have two kids, and I have no idea how single parents do it. My wife is a stay at home mom and her parents live with us (her dad works, her mom helps around here). Her mom takes the "morning shift" with the kids, and my wife usually tags her out after breakfast. They're also the primary cleaners of the house and do a great job. I could/should help out more when it comes to cleaning and want to do better in 2025. Starting is the hardest part.
Whenever you see some scientific news or news about any type of discovery on social media, the correct reaction is just -"Huh, cool i guess". Then you forget about it, assume its false, and unless some actual specialist and researchers start talking about, it was false.
I think there is no problem if Ian is ok with gaining fat with the muscle. 200 hundred pounds is not that much, Ludwig weights that and she's shorter than Ian.

Congrats!
Always looking out for the next episode. Thank you guys, hope you all have a great year ❤
This is the number one sloppers podcast. It is the only place I've ever heard it said and it's dropped hard and often. Keep it up.
First time I heard Dirty Pillows was in Carrie - Her mum used it
New listener here, love the vibes.
Time to binge all the episodes 😅.

I learned so much this episode
When my family moved into the house I grew up in it was actually an ex crack den. Because of this we rented half of a duplex down the street for like a month before moving in so that my parents could clean up the place.

Love you guys so much!!! Would love for u to do a live call in segment that would be sick

Podcasticular sounds like a medical term. Gonna use it for injuries to the groin from now on. Thanks woke janitor.

Big motivational vibe this ep. Down with the idea of “I can do it”! I can’t do it!
Let’s call it “screen smarts” instead of street smarts, ref. The ability to determine internet bullshit 💪🏼
