NST Mailbag: The RIGHT way to load a dishwasher (& more) 🧽 🍽️ 🫧
And how the boys met!
Hey y’all,
This week we settle your dumb arguments. Yup, it’s mailbag time. We’ll argue about the RIGHT way to load a dishwasher, revisit a right-wing conspiracy theory about cat litter in schools, solve an intersection conundrum involving a funeral procession and a school bus and finally reveal how this beautiful friendship actually began.

Here are some links to things we reference during this episode:

Re: the origins of this pod — here’s the first MannyNoahDevan portrait from 2016
And the infamous Noah modeling video that never did go public… until now.
Finally, some listeners’ reactions to last week’s episode (Is dating an AI chatbot cheating?):
Blake said, “The episode felt a little constrained by compulsory monogamy.” Tough, but fair.
Brooke said they don’t think it’s cheating, but that it might signal a deeper issue in the relationship—where one partner isn’t feeling seen or fulfilled.
Cardboard-man said it was 100% cheating and he’d leave his partner without a second thought if he found them talking to an AI chatbot.
