Is your house full of stuff you thought you needed… but haven’t touched since the Obama administration? In this game show-style episode, we're helping you clean house and bulk up your bank account at the same time.

Joining Joe in the basement are Paula Pant from Afford Anything, OG, and the man, the myth, the TikTok-famous legend’s grandpa’s best friend: Len Penzo (or as Doug calls him, “America’s Most Unexpected Influencer”). Together, they go head-to-head in a raucous showdown, each offering hot takes on everyday items you should stop buying if you want to save money and ditch the clutter.

We dig into:

• Why some exercise equipment becomes expensive coat racks

• The hidden costs of seasonal decorations

• Periodicals, subscriptions, and other budget vampires

• And a few “who knew?” items that quietly drain your cash

You'll also get a dose of trivia, debates about Google's "search decay," and a few personal stories that might sound a little too familiar.

Whether you’re decluttering your budget or just here for the basement chaos, this episode is full of laughs, lightbulb moments, and ideas to help streamline your spending.
