On the February 7 episode of Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast, Kristen Bell was a special guest. During their chat, Bell revealed that their two daughters sleep on the floor in their bedroom, and she admitted that having four people in one room can get a bit… stinky. “A few nights ago, I smell a really raunchy smell, and I’m like, ‘who’s farting?'” Bell said. She accepted that her family “has gas,” and went to bed. The next morning when she woke up, however, the smell was somehow worse — it smelled like “burning.”
Bell explained that she washed the sheets, opened the doors, and lit some candles in an effort to get rid of the smell, but noting worked. Bell asked her family if anyone else smelled what she was smelling, and she explained that her youngest daughter — who is “smell sensitive” — said that she also smelled it. But they couldn’t figure out where the smell was coming from. After checking around, Bell decided to smell the mattress. When she smelled Dax’s “feet corner of the mattress… [she] almost hit the deck,” Bell said. However, it wasn’t actually Shepard’s feet causing the stench. Turns out, it was the OOLER, a machine that they use to keep the bed at the perfect temperature. The OOLER needs water to function — and one night, Shepard poured something that wasn’t water — and may have been an “old protein shake” into the OOLER. Ew!
