Even years after her sudden death from apoplexy, Robert's mother would haunt her son's dreams, her corpulent and open-palmed presence bellowing with outrage over his "filthy, filthy pants" and threatening to give the boy "a good scrubbing." As his court psychiatrist would later testify, this classic case of childhood trauma not only colored his relations with the opposite sex, but also affected his notions of acceptable personal hygiene.Interested in learning Chinese? Or perhaps you're not really interested in learning Chinese at all but are still curious how exactly to speak to household cleaning staff. You know, wanting to know enough Chinese so that you can walk that fine line between being the sort of permissive employer who attracts every layabout in the Middle Kingdom, and the sort of tyrant immortalized in the oral histories of Fujian and Anhui? Then this podcast is for you.

@achim_boers, I think you meant to ask whether 下 was intended to be 点. No, it wasn't.

If I wanted to find the exact song '我从山中来 带着兰花草' as it was played during the episode, from the USA, where could I do this?

wayneseguin,Actually, the name of the song is 《兰花草》. “我从山中来 带着兰花草” is the opening lyric.The version you're looking for is easy to find. Search on YouTube; it's the second result:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hRQkp9NelY

Hi,If I changed it to 今天我想要你洗衣服，would that soften it, or is it still too direct?

Why do your native Chinese speakers speak English during these? It makes no sense and is distracting to lazy ears. Would make more sense to have them speak in Chinese and the only English from the the none Chinese staff members. Similar to the koreanpod (etc) formats.

Shouldn't THIS one be the one titled about your husband being a A-hole?
