GauchoTV: Laundry Day

Posted by MarvPratt on May 27th, 2010 in GauchoNews, GauchoTV, Ways to Save

Aside from reality TV, the only thing that separates humans from animals is a desire for clean laundry. Oh sure, you may think your cat desires clean laundry, but really it just wants to jump in the basket of clean laundry to get some of that coveted dryer warmth.

This week’s GauchoTV is all about that most distinctively human of traits: laundry. Primarily it’s about what option makes the most sense for you. Should you break down and buy a washer and dryer even if you live in an apartment with no laundry hook-ups? (Spoiler alert: The answer is no.) Should you just keep going to the laundromat? Should you rent-to-own (Another spoiler alert: This answer is also no.) This week Marv employs some very low-rent versions of Alton Brown “Good Eats” camera trickery (putting the camera inside the dryer and shooting out from there), and also trespasses on his next door neighbor’s property to bring you the Top 5, which he loosely connects to the end of his favorite network drama. No, not Gray’s Anatomy.

Finally, with just a few seconds to spare, Marv tells you about the new Gaucho iPhone app which you can get for free right now from the iTunes app store. And it will also run on your iPad, if you’re so inclined. And a new feature added by billshrink.com that allows you to see if you’re getting the best cable or satellite TV deal right now. Both things are very cool.

So enjoy another installment in the show that fans call “the best short-form web show featuring a guy with weird facial hair wandering around yelling at a camera!” The critics agree, it’s better than those irritating Fred Figglehorn YouTube videos by a longshot.

    Hey Marv! Thanks for the awesome GauchoTV... I really will miss Lost, but at the same time I'm relieved that all the twists and turns are over and I can sit back and try to figure out what the hell just happened!

    As for the washer/dryer, I ALWAYS used to have problems without having one... Where I lived two years ago the closest laundromat was a busride away so I literally had to jump on the bus with a few loads of dirty laundry every couple of weeks. Really sucked. My new condo has them built-in, but I was dying without it!

    I've been lucky and never had to laundromat it for more than a few weeks of my life. Laundromats honestly freak me out a little bit because I equate laundry with things done in the private. For me it's like showering at the gym. You get used to it, but it always seems a little awkward.
