Poolside Perils: NO GIRLS ALLOWED!

Episode Summary

In this wild ride of an episode, Andrea and Paulette dive into some of the strangest, funniest, and scariest stories in the pool world. First up, they talk about the Trevi Fountain in Rome, which has gone from world-famous attraction to what basically looks like a “concrete rectangle” as part of its construction facelift. Yep, tourists are still expected to toss coins into this glorified public pool, all while paying admission to do so. The duo gets into how Rome’s famous fountain went from iconic landmark to local pool vibes, sparking plenty of laughs and disbelief.

But it doesn’t end there! The episode then shifts gears to pool tech horror stories, as Andrea and Paulette recount their near-miss encounters with pool chemicals gone wrong. Andrea shares her experience with a bucket of wet cal hypo that left her feeling queasy for hours, while Paulette details how a routine trichloro broadcast went sideways, resulting in a sneezing fit and an unexpected self-fumigation. Their tales offer a mix of humor and caution, as they remind listeners that handling pool chemicals is no joke – and neither are the hilarious (and slightly terrifying) mishaps that come with the job.

From concrete fountains to chemical close calls, this episode is packed with laughs, insights, and plenty of “don’t try this at home” moments!
