Bob's your baby and Jack Bauer's your kindergarten teacher so get ready to drink some scary, milky substances.

Today we're Stayin' Alive in our summer dacha to discuss whether we clean our kitchen(s) and if so, how? Before Matthew narrowly avoids being an accomplice to murder, we share our cleaning philosophies and some dirty confessions then tackle grease, grime and crumbs to share what we enjoy scrubbing and what we avoid wiping. After some talk about congealed grease traps, mushy crisper drawers and scary fridge tops we ultimately decide kitchens are gross and we're going to stop using them.   Libman Gator Mop Matthew's Now but Wow! - The Clock House Murders, by Yukito Ayatsuji Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

You're not ready for this jelly. A couple of uninformed kangaroos ask 'what's in our pouches?' as we squeeze, spoon and dilute these mystery drinks.

Can you say 'sugar rush'? We are learning something new today though be warned that this episode is short, nonsensical and contains much chewing.
