Talking Pools Podcast
Pregnant, Poolside, and Probably High on Fumes
Welcome to the most accidentally themed episode of Talking Pools, where we started with “fuck it, we’ll do it live” and somehow ended up knee-deep in pregnancy, chlorine jugs, and naming babies after pool chemicals. Don’t ask how we got here — we don’t know either.
This week, Andrea & Paulette juggle barking dogs, clinking dishes, and a door-scratching pet apocalypse while announcing that yes, pool pros can, in fact, clean pools while pregnant — provided you’re fine with half-full chlorine jugs, pulling vacuums like a gladiator, and casually ignoring the fact that acid fumes on a cloudy day might actually kill you.
We celebrate Sarah “The Pool Girl”’s pregnancy announcement (congrats!), relive pregnancies past (spoiler: one host nearly died from not keeping water down, the other casually cleaned pools at 8 months pregnant like it was leg day), and brainstorm baby names that would make the industry proud:
- Chlorine, but make it Chloe.
- Brody (Bromine + DE powder, baby).
- Tab. Just… Tab.
- Calcium Chlorida, Esq.
Also inside this chaos casserole:
- Why customers think their leaky pool is your financial problem.
- The great vacation hack: tabs are good for something.
- Acid fumes on humid days — a.k.a. free chemical warfare training.
- Why pool pros naming their kids after chemicals is both a brilliant idea and a crime against humanity.
Basically, it’s part pregnancy support group, part pool school, part fever dream. Strap in.
