Ever stepped out of a refreshing shower only to dry off with a towel that smells suspiciously... funky? You're not alone. 

We're tackling one of travel's most unspoken horrors: the dreaded sour hotel towel phenomenon. What starts as a pet peeve quickly spirals into a hilarious dissection of bathroom etiquette and questionable linen management. We share the mortifying experience of using someone's less-than-fresh towel, only to discover that the smell had transferred to our face and hair for days afterward. "I kept looking around and sniffing... and then I realized it was me!"

The conversation takes a practical turn as we explore what causes towels to develop that distinctive "dookie smell" - even after washing. Could it be towels left too long in the washing machine? Years of use without proper replacement? Or something more sinister? We offer insider advice for both travelers and hosts, from packing your own personal linens when staying elsewhere to maintaining dedicated guest towels that have never been used for washing cars or cleaning up spills.

Whether you've experienced this bathroom nightmare firsthand or just want to ensure you're never the host who inflicts "DTS" (Dookie Towel Syndrome) on unsuspecting guests, this episode delivers equal parts laughter and practical wisdom.
