Would You Sleep in a Lifesize Dog Bed?

Would you spend $700 on a toaster that only makes two slices of bread? What about $680 on a Gucci dog bowl? Or hire your own paparazzi just to make strangers think you're famous? Apparently, people pay for these things. And some start to sound surprisingly reasonable. We're Rachel and Stephen Scroggins, the married hosts of Resurface Podcast. In Episode 45, we're putting our judgment to the test. First, we play Guess the Price, featuring a potato sent through the mail, a human-sized dog bed, a designer pet bowl, and a Dolce & Gabbana toaster. We try to guess what they cost and why anyone would buy them. Then we discover businesses offering professional line sitters, fake paparazzi, scent marketing, mermaid entertainers, and even DNA testing to identify whose dog left a mess. Finally, we ask what we'd pay to outsource in our own lives: phone calls, laundry, chores, car maintenance, errands, technology problems, or our calendar. But we can only choose two. We also catch up on life, including our housing situation, our dogs, and why we're selling our camera to upgrade our microphones. Somewhere along the way, Stephen worries about offending artificial intelligence, and our conversation takes a few unexpected turns. *JOIN THE CONVERSATION* What's one thing you'd happily pay someone else to do, even if everyone thought it was ridiculous? Which featured product or service would you actually buy? Tell us in the comments. We love hearing from you! *ABOUT RESURFACE* We're Rachel and Stephen, a married couple navigating family, marriage, parenting, and some of life's more difficult circumstances with a healthy dose of sarcasm.
