On a recent episode of "The View," Sara Haines revealed how she barters with her husband to get things done around the house.
During a discussion about the biggest mistakes people make after having sex, Haines admitted she often asks her husband, Max Shifrin, about household chores right after they do the deed.
"So what happens is, sometimes when I recover, I think about all the things we still have to do," Haines said to her co-hosts. "I stop, and I say, 'Babe, did the plumber call today?'"

When her co-host Sunny Hostin asked why she doesn't wait until the next day, Haines explained that she might miss her chance to ask if she waited.
"Hell no, I may not see him the next day. We have three kids, we run in different directions. When I get him, I get him," Haines said. "He got what he wanted, I'm going to get what I want. Did the plumber call?"
This is not the first time the 46-year-old has spoken about her special way of getting her husband to do what she wants.
In September 2021, she also shared on the talk show that she uses sex to entice her husband to put their kids to bed whenever she's too tired to do it, per People.
"I turned to Max, and I just said, 'I'm willing to have transactional deals with you if you can just put the kids to bed, please,'" Haines said, per People. "That's about how romantic the suggestion felt too: 'I will pay you in other things, other currency, if you go ahead and put those kids to bed.'"
When asked then by co-host Joy Behar if she saw it as a "bartering system," Haines responded by saying that the arrangement worked out for both of them.
"If that is what he needs, and this is what I need, I think it sounds like a perfect solution," Haines added.
Haines married Shifrin, a lawyer, in November 2014, per People.
