Our Mouse Infestation (how to get rid of a mouse) S:1 Ep:21

June 21, 2025·1 hr 12 min·1 clip
I'm four thousand dollars deep in washers and dryers and still can't wash clothes. I'm driving 25 minutes to do laundry.
Podcast episode featuring unnamed hosts (couple) discussing personal homeowner chaos and podcast growth. Episode covers reaching 90 subscribers with anxiety about milestone, a two-week break taken for planning, and extensive discussion of washer/dryer delivery saga with Lowe's (broken units, 3-week wait, laundry crisis at old house, eventual reorder from Home Depot for total 4000 dollars spent). Major narrative focuses on mysterious water leak in garage traced through ceiling, wall, and floor—ultimately discovered to be missing washer cap. Secondary narrative involves hosts adopting 1920s-style speech patterns from TV show discussion that spreads to public behavior in Home Depot, McDonald's. Episode structure alternates between frustration and humor, with hosts processing accumulating home ownership issues through comedic storytelling.
