Summary

In this week’s episode of LATE BLOOMERS, Rich and Rox air out the DIRTY LAUNDRY — literally. From BO and bed sheets to flannel roulette and maggot towels (yes, really), we talk about the messy realities of hygiene and cleaning when you have ADHD. We share our most embarrassing confessions, break down why cleanliness has no moral value, and give you the hacks that actually work — from five-minute cleans to dopamine baths to inviting someone over just to get the house sorted.

This is the shame-free conversation we all need: raw, funny, and practical. If you’ve ever struggled to keep on top of laundry, showers, or cleaning routines, this episode will make you feel seen — and maybe even give you a system that sticks.
