1 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: Hey, and welcome to the Short Stuff. I'm Josh and 2 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: there's Chuck over there, and this is short stuff and 3 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: we're shorten it up stuff person. Yeah, this one is Uh, 4 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: it's amazing, especially when you're a listener of the Judge 5 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: John Hodgman episode Um from our Old Pal or Old 6 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: Pals Jesse Thorn and John hodgment. How many cases come 7 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: through and not major cases they do the smaller sort 8 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: of just email cases at the end about couples fighting 9 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: over dishwashing. Yeah, I can totally see that, because this 10 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,599 Speaker 1: is one of those things where you're just like, it's 11 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: intuitively correct one way or another. But this is one 12 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: of those beautiful and rare things where it's like, no, 13 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: the one is demonstrably correct the thing you should be doing, 14 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: and even better, it's the thing that you wouldn't think 15 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: would be the correct thing to do. It's a beautiful thing. Chuck, 16 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna stop talking vague terms and let's really 17 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: drill into this. Yeah, and beyond what we're going to 18 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: mainly talk about, which is is it better to hand 19 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: wash dishes or use your dishwasher? Uh, the nitpicky how 20 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: to load a dishwasher thing is the subject of It's 21 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: just sort of one of the most age old arguments 22 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: you can have in a marriage, because people come into 23 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: the marriage or a relationship or partnership with very strong 24 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: ideas on how to wash dishes, how do so how 25 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: to load a dishwashers in dispute like should you hang 26 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: from the ceiling or lay on the floor? Oh sure? 27 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: Like should you do half of a dishwasher load? Do 28 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: you load the silverware? Times up or times down? Or 29 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: does it even matter times up unless you're like some 30 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: sort of deranged criminal. Is it knives up or knives down? 31 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: Knives up? Oh? So leave those stabby things just pointing up. Well, 32 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: if it's an actual knife, you shouldn't be washing those 33 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: in your dishwasher anyway. But I'm talking about like a 34 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: dinner knife or a butter knife. Oh no, what do 35 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: you mean? You shouldn't be washing the steak knife. You 36 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: don't want to run a good knife through a dishwasher, pal, 37 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: I don't care what the energy your water savings. This 38 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: is because it wears them down. And also usually if 39 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: you have a good knife, you have a probably a 40 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: knife with a good handle on it, and they're not 41 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: usually made to be run through the dishwasher, they start 42 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: to crack or if it's would it becomes problematic. And 43 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: there's no faster way to doll a knife than to 44 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: run it through a dishwasher. Yeah, what does it? I 45 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: believe particulate matter, uh, beating it, kind of sand blasting it, 46 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: and then also just the water, the effect of the 47 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: water over time. These are you don't want to do that. 48 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: You don't want to do that that People debate incessantly 49 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: in marriages about dishwasher Emily and I go back and 50 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: forth about dishwasher stuff all the time because we both 51 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: do it a little bit, and it seems like one 52 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: of those things in a partnership where one person just 53 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: should just be in charge and the other other person 54 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: should stay out of it. I see, Yeah, there are 55 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: things like that. You mean, I have laundries once. She's like, 56 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: I am doing the laundry. Emily won't let me do laundry. Yeah, 57 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: but dish washing, we've never really had a problem with. Um, 58 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: do you both load it? No? We both hand wash. 59 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: Oh no, you don't know, it's true. We both handwashed. 60 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: Like I've been researching this and I notice some cass 61 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: Gate commercials and was like is that true? And then 62 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: that actually prompted me a cass Gate commercial prompted me 63 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: to pick this one, and um, it was like like 64 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: when I researched it, it it was like, no, the cass 65 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: Gate commercial tells the truth, and this is something I 66 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: should not be doing anymore, which is handwashing dishes. So 67 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: you have a dishwasher and you would still handwash all 68 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: your dishes. Yeah, we have a nice dishwasher too, and 69 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: how would you still handwash? Well, one one reason why 70 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: is we thought that it was it uses less energy, water, 71 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: all that stuff, which it turns out is just wrong. 72 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: And then the other reason why, as I remember seeing 73 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: like the guy who created the hygiene hypothesis or we 74 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: talked about his study once where people who eat off 75 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: of plates or used utensils that have been run through 76 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: the dishwasher had higher incidences of allergies to like food 77 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: and other things than people who hand washed because they 78 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: were exposed to slightly more germs. So we were hand 79 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: washing because it's dirtier. Basically is that is how you 80 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: can kind of boil it down. But now I'm kind 81 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: of like, man, this is this seems like the wrong 82 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: thing to do. Handwashing dishes, and I did it like 83 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: all the wrong ways, water running the whole time, the 84 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: whole shebang. All right, Well, I think that that actually 85 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: turns out to be a set up, and we'll take 86 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: a break and we'll come back and even though you 87 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: kind of spoiled it, uh, will reveal the real truth 88 00:04:45,000 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: right after this. Alright, Chuck revealed the truth. Well, it 89 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: is a big misconception that using a dishwasher, even and 90 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: they say you should really load that thing full, but 91 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: I have seen statistics that even doing like more half 92 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: loads per week is still a lot less water than 93 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: hand washing dishes. Yeah. Um, which is a real big surprise. 94 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons why I didn't understand 95 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: this because you and I grew up with dishwashers that 96 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: were terrible as far as efficiency and water uses concerned. 97 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: But unbeknownst to us, even though I have a pretty 98 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: new dishwasher, I'm guessing you probably do too. Um that 99 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: they they they have advanced by leaps and bounds in 100 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: the last few years and now they're actually like lean 101 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: mean energy and water saving machines. They are the Energy 102 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: Star program in the United States, the government getting involved 103 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: and regulating things across the board. The Energy Star program 104 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: has been a massive success, and a certified Energy Star 105 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: dishwasher in the US uses less than four gallons of 106 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: water per cycle, the whole thing, the whole thing, and 107 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: you can go through four gallons of water every two 108 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: minutes off your handwashing. Yeah, they have efficiency, high efficiency 109 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: faucets now that typically come in and about one and 110 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: a half gallons per minute. And I don't think it's 111 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: legal to have a faucet more than two and a 112 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: half gallons in the United States or two point two 113 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: gallons per minute. But even still, like like I did 114 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: a little math, and like you were saying, you've seen 115 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: before where even if you run half loads multiple times 116 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: a week, Um, if you're doing like a quarter of 117 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: a load of dishes and you're using all four gallons, 118 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: you're still probably using less water than you would to 119 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: wash that cord load by hand, because it's probably going 120 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: to take longer than two minutes to do all those dishes. 121 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: So if you have the water running the whole time, 122 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: even running a quarter load is still going to save 123 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: more water than if you were doing the dishes by hand. Okay, 124 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: but hey, you're not using anything on your power bill. 125 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: You're not burning any coal or even using any solar 126 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: to use your hands. So it's clearly better to use 127 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: your hands and not that energy consuming dishwasher right now 128 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: because that hot water. Thank you for sending me up 129 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: to look like the smart one here. I appreciate that. 130 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: Because the hot water that's coming out of your tap 131 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: comes from your hot water heater. Uh. If you're using 132 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: a hot water heater, in fact, you're actually using a 133 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: lot of energy to heat that water, and it's going 134 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: on constantly, whereas a high efficiency or just a regular 135 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: new dishwasher um uses kind of targeted uh hot water, 136 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: not throughout the whole time. So it's not that water 137 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: is not being heated the whole time while you're washing 138 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: the dishes. If you use the dishwasher, it is while 139 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: you're doing it by hand. That's right. With an energy 140 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: star dishwasher, you can use that thing four times a 141 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: week and it will only cost you and run up 142 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: about a hundred and thirty dollars worth of energy a 143 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: year a year. And that's even assuming eleven kill a 144 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: watt eleven cents to kill a watt hour I saw, 145 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: which is that's all less than average. Yeah, so dishwasher efficiency. 146 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: This is where Emily and I really get into most 147 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: of our scrapes. It's not times upper, times down, it 148 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: is uh my, um, you know, I'm I'm sort of 149 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: the family packer. I'm the tetris master. So when I'm 150 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: packing a car for a trip, or packing when we've 151 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: had to move and stuff like that, she leaves that 152 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 1: stuff to me because I'm really good at like making 153 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: the most efficient use of a space, and I carry 154 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 1: that over to the dishwasher. I can tetris that thing. 155 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: So it's so full, it's like can barely even hold 156 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: the amount of stuff on a rack. And it just 157 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: makes me so happy. Whereas Emily will get in there, 158 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: she'll be like she'll use the juicer in the morning 159 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: and maybe the food processor that you know, these things 160 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: have large, sort of multiple components and that's it. You 161 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: got like two glasses and then that stuff to run 162 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: a dishwasher load. And it drives me crazy because then 163 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: the stuff is stacking up in the sink and uh. 164 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: I try to be like, honey, you gotta put more 165 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: stuff in here, and she's like, no, it's better just 166 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: to run up more. You just gotta stay on it. Huh. Well, 167 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: So one of the things that popped up to me is, 168 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: you know, it's just you, me and Momo and I here. 169 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: So we have a limited number of dishes um that 170 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: we use and that we even have in some cases 171 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: we kind of try to trim it down to whatever 172 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: we need, not like you know, we each have one 173 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: fork or anything like that, but you know, like the 174 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: number of cops and that kind of stuff that we 175 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: have hanging around is limited to where we couldn't do 176 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: the dishes just once a week, like you just can't. 177 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: So that's it's kind of like still run the dishwasher. 178 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: No you can't, Yes, of course you can. You come 179 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: over anytime you want. That's my dream, dude. If Emily 180 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't think I was crazy, I would assign each family 181 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: member a cup before, a spoon and knife, and a 182 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: plate in a bowl, and I would throw everything else 183 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: out because we have She'll go through eight water glasses 184 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: in a day because she just sits them down and 185 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: then goes and gets another one, and it drives me bonkers. 186 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: So you're decorating an inspiration is like re education camp. Man. 187 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: It makes me crazy, and then kids like you'd be 188 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: surprised at how much how many dishes a six year 189 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: old will go through it too. Oh yeah, no, you 190 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: totally can, especially if you have a lot of dishes 191 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: you go through, you know what I'm saying, Yeah, and 192 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: then they build up to they just kind of just accumulates. Dude, 193 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: We've got like twenty five coffee cups and I don't 194 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: drink coffee. It's ridiculously like a cute coffee cups though, 195 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: So what are you gonna do deny her her her collection? No, 196 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: And I don't actually blame her because that is the 197 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: thing that we have the most of too, because you 198 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: can get cool stuff and we like our plates. We 199 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: have lovely plates that we like. But we also get 200 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: into it with the other things in the efficiencies, which 201 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: is resisting the urge to pre rense. I'll do a 202 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: scrape and throw it in the dishwasher and Emily he's like, no, man, 203 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: you gotta rinse that stuff off really good or it's 204 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: not going to get clean. And they're saying, not true. No, 205 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: Emily is a demon from hell for even suggesting that. Apparently, 206 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: I'll tell her that, yeah, like you do not prerense 207 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: the dishes, that is Ah, as one of the guys 208 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: from the Natural Resources Defense Counsel, I think the senior 209 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: scientist his name is Noah Horowitz, says, it is a 210 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: complete waste of water and energy, and you're a demon 211 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: from hell if you do it. That's what the dishwasher 212 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: is for. That's what I always say. But there's another 213 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: thing that comes from our upbringing and our being eighties 214 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 1: and seventies kids too, is you That did not used 215 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: to be the case. Those things basically had to go 216 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: in sparkling clean for them to come out sparkling clean. 217 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: And now dishwashers are just that much better, where if 218 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: you scrape the stuff off and you put them in there, 219 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna come out clean. Remember that ad for either 220 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: dishwashers or dishwashing detergent where they they baked in frosted 221 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: a cake and then put the whole thing with the 222 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: plate on it in the dishwasher and ran it and 223 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: it came out clean. I don't remember that. One's gross. 224 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: It's almost as bad as that lys Al commercial where 225 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: the woman uses the raw chicken to wiper counters down 226 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: rather than Oh, I haven't seen that either. Oh, it's 227 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: tough to watch this one. Was not nearly as bad, 228 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: but in the same ballpark for sure. Well, they say, 229 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: scrape it, fill it up as good as you can, 230 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: don't do the pre rents. And then if you can 231 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: afford to upgrade from that that nineteen nineties model that 232 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: is using way more energy because you're you know, it's 233 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 1: gonna cost you in the long ground and with your 234 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: water bill and with your power bill. So if you 235 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: can scrape together the money to upgrade that to a 236 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: to a better, more efficient, newer machine than do so. Yeah, 237 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: but it sounds like even those older machines, depending on 238 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: how many dishes you have to do, are still better. 239 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: There's still save water compared to hand washing. Yeah, and 240 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: I will I will admittedly hand wash um like really 241 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: big mixing bowls for salad bowls. I'll handwash that stuff 242 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: because going back to my pet peeve, that takes up 243 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: a rack, uh right, it does, which is kind of inefficient. 244 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: And plus also it's it's satisfying to washing them, dry 245 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 1: that off and put it back quickly. Yeah. I kind 246 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: of like that. You guys are neat like that too, Yeah, yea. 247 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: If you if you have, you should come move in 248 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: with us, like you can all right, Um, we'll get 249 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: a draw un okay. Um, So if you don't have 250 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: a dishwasher, and you're like, well, I'd like to save 251 00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: energy and water, you jerks, but I don't have a dishwasher. Um, 252 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: there are things you can do to save water and energy, 253 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: and that is uh if you can manage a two 254 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,599 Speaker 1: uh tub sink you know what I'm talking about in 255 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: the middle split tub nice, Um, you want to fill 256 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: one up with warm soap, you water, let the dishes 257 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: soak in that for a while, and then fill up 258 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: the other one in clean water and rinse them off 259 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: in there and just put them up. Don't run that 260 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: water while you're doing it. That is good enough and 261 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: that should do the trick. That's the key. And don't 262 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: run water while you're standing there brushing your teeth. No, 263 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: I I came up with the biggest waste of water 264 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: that you can possibly do. It's where you dump ice out, 265 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: so you're dumb, you're wasting water to begin with, and 266 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: then you run warm water over that to make it 267 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: melt fast. Oh no, I've done that before, and I 268 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: was like, this is the biggest waste of water you 269 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: could possibly do when making That's a great way to 270 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: do it. There's a lot of stuff you could do 271 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: just starting with the ice, but really try to make 272 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: it melt faster for zero reason whatsoever. Then it bothers 273 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: you that there's ice in the sink. That's a big 274 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: waste of water. I've learned my lesson ethic. Okay, well 275 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: is that it? Yeah? I think we admitted some things 276 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: that didn't make us proud of ourselves, but we can 277 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: all move on to now.
