WD40, known for being useful, famous for being sprayful. Nobody thinks much about it, so let's have some fun.

Let's find out why WD40 is secretly incredibly fascinating. I'm excited.

Hey there, folks. Welcome to a whole new podcast episode, a podcast all about why being alive is more interesting than people think it is.

My name is Alex Schmidt and I'm not alone because I'm joined by my co-host Katie Golden.

What is your relationship to or opinion of WD40?

It's a magic elixir that fixes everything.

Doors, boats, toilets, machines, cars, lives, you know. I mean, it's a, I mostly know it as the thing you put in the door when the door is getting squeaky.

Yeah, as like a noise fixer and thing, loosener. That is also my experience of it.

I've thought about making a slip and slide where it's all WD40, but I'm pretty sure that

would be like polluting somehow, a biohazard somehow, so I won't do it. But I think about it, you could get

going real fast. I feel, you know that like that viral slide where the cop went down the slide and

like it just spits out the cop like a bullet? It goes so fast. That must have been WD40. I think WD40 was behind it.

It's useful for so many different things. Greasing slides.

Greasing slides, specifically to mess up the police. And this was one of many listeners suggested topics,

and a particularly passionate one for Cleo Mancer. Thank you Cleo Mancer for the idea and

many folks on the Discord being very excited about this. And it reminds me of a little while back

when we did a duct tape episode because those are kind of the two magic home improvement items in my

mind, at least in the U.S.

It's duct tape as as a adhesive and then WD-40 as a loosener.

Yeah, when I think of a home improvement superhero, I think of the utility belt having WD-40

duct tape, some pliers, maybe a little bit of electrical tape too. Why not?
