Speaker A:

Good morning and taste act.

Speaker A:

You ever notice how we all wait for spring to do our cleaning?

Speaker A:

Why in the world is that?

Speaker A:

I mean, that's when the weather finally gets nice.

Speaker A:

Why wait all winter for the sun to come out just so you can vacuum behind your fridge?

Speaker A:

What are we doing?

Speaker A:

Spring is supposed to be for joy.

Speaker A:

Spring is for brunches and pretending like you're hiking, not scrubbing baseboards like you're being punished by Mother Nature.

Speaker A:

So we should flip it.

Speaker A:

Let's not do spring cleaning.

Speaker A:

Let's do winter cleaning.

Speaker A:

We're already stuck inside.

Speaker A:

It's cold.

Speaker A:

You're in sweatpants.

Speaker A:

You haven't seen the sun since Thanksgiving.

Speaker A:

This is the perfect time for you to question why you own six spatulas.

Speaker A:

Winter is when you're surrounded by not only clutter, but seasonal depression.

Speaker A:

So we can, you know, it's two birds, one great big trash bag.

Speaker A:

We could try to clean it all out with.

Speaker A:

And if you've ever done winter cleaning, you clean something, suddenly you feel like you've kind of got your life together.

Speaker A:

There's such a good feeling of accomplishment.

Speaker A:

I just organized my Tupperware drawer.

Speaker A:

Maybe I could go back to school or do anything now.

Speaker A:

And cleaning in the winter is efficient.

Speaker A:

You're already dressed in layers.

Speaker A:

Cleaning counts as cardio.

Speaker A:

So you're starting on your resolution.

Speaker A:

Halfway through cleaning the closet, you're sweating like you're in a CrossFit class called the Purge.

Speaker A:

The best part is, when spring comes, your house is already clean.

Speaker A:

You can go outside and touch grass instead of dusting your fake plants.

Speaker A:

Imagine that having the energy in April because you weren't wrestling with the junk drawer for three weekends straight.

Speaker A:

Point being is, I think we should do winter cleaning.

Speaker A:

And I dug into this.

Speaker A:

I did some winter cleaning over the weekend because one of these six signs, you should really do some cleaning was true for me.

Speaker A:

I'll let you guess which one.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

These are the top six signs that you need to do some cleaning.

Speaker B:

You really need to do some cleaning.

Speaker A:

Number six, your robo vacuum tried to escape.

Speaker A:

Number five, your laundry is divided into piles, dirty and really dirty.

Speaker A:

Number four, last year's Christmas list is written in dust on the coffee table.

Speaker B:

These are the top six signs.

Speaker B:

You really need to do some cleaning.

Speaker A:

Number three, you moved to couch cushion and discovered a remote, a sock, and your will to live.

Speaker A:

Number two, you looked around and thought, if I were on a reality show, I would be the before.

Speaker A:

That's always bad.

Speaker A:

And the number one sign, you really.

Speaker B:

Should do some cleaning.

Speaker A:

You found a receipt from a store that went out of business two years ago.
