How long should one wait to report a debit card lost or stolen (if you know you've misplaced it somewhere)? Some banks don't show you current transactions on their mobile or online app, and you lose all access to your accounts until you get a new card (same day if you go the branch; 4-6 days by mail).

Dave, Justin, and Ashley watch the #1 show on Netflix for the week and try to answer the question: why are people watching this? Comedy and consternation ensue as two agreeable middle-aged chaps and a punchy millennial from rural Canada are subjected to bizarre Korean sci-fi, graphic true crime documentaries, unnecessary medical dramas, baffling 90s sitcoms, and insufferable Hallmark Christmas films.

365 Days: This Day

How do I stop my cat from licking me! I need some thoughts. I have a lovely, sweet cat - he greets people at the door, sleeps within sight of me all day when I work from home, and will give you a little thank you lick when you pet him. This is the problem. I've noticed that after I apply moisturizer to my face or hands, or lip balm to my lips, it's not one or two licks. He's WAY more interested in licking those areas and much more thorough. I'm basically getting a catbath! If you didn't know, cat saliva acts as a natural detergent and de-scenter, so when they are cleaning themselves, they're also getting rid of any smells that might be on their fur. I'm sure when he's licking me after my nightly skincare routine it's because he sees me as a stinky kitten that can't take care of itself and, out of affection, is trying to help, but I'm worried about him ingesting whatever is in my products. What should I do, spurn his affection? Let him lick me clean? Help!--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/whyarepeoplewatchingthis/support

Dave had some deep thoughts as to why viewers are drawn to these dark sad stories (i.e., because their lives seem less crap in comparison), and had a lot to say about the corrupting power of money. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/whyarepeoplewatchingthis/support
