WEBVTT - Short Stuff: Handwashing vs Dishwashers

0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Hey, and welcome to the Short Stuff. I'm Josh and

0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:09.320
<v Speaker 1>there's Chuck over there, and this is short stuff and

0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 1>we're shorten it up stuff person. Yeah, this one is Uh,

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:17.440
<v Speaker 1>it's amazing, especially when you're a listener of the Judge

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:22.200
<v Speaker 1>John Hodgman episode Um from our Old Pal or Old

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Pals Jesse Thorn and John hodgment. How many cases come

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>through and not major cases they do the smaller sort

0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 1>of just email cases at the end about couples fighting

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:38.559
<v Speaker 1>over dishwashing. Yeah, I can totally see that, because this

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:40.599
<v Speaker 1>is one of those things where you're just like, it's

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:44.239
<v Speaker 1>intuitively correct one way or another. But this is one

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:47.040
<v Speaker 1>of those beautiful and rare things where it's like, no,

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:51.720
<v Speaker 1>the one is demonstrably correct the thing you should be doing,

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 1>and even better, it's the thing that you wouldn't think

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 1>would be the correct thing to do. It's a beautiful thing. Chuck,

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna stop talking vague terms and let's really

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>drill into this. Yeah, and beyond what we're going to

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 1>mainly talk about, which is is it better to hand

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>wash dishes or use your dishwasher? Uh, the nitpicky how

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:17.039
<v Speaker 1>to load a dishwasher thing is the subject of It's

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 1>just sort of one of the most age old arguments

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>you can have in a marriage, because people come into

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:26.039
<v Speaker 1>the marriage or a relationship or partnership with very strong

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 1>ideas on how to wash dishes, how do so how

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.119
<v Speaker 1>to load a dishwashers in dispute like should you hang

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>from the ceiling or lay on the floor? Oh sure?

0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Like should you do half of a dishwasher load? Do

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 1>you load the silverware? Times up or times down? Or

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 1>does it even matter times up unless you're like some

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 1>sort of deranged criminal. Is it knives up or knives down?

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Knives up? Oh? So leave those stabby things just pointing up. Well,

0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 1>if it's an actual knife, you shouldn't be washing those

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>in your dishwasher anyway. But I'm talking about like a

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>dinner knife or a butter knife. Oh no, what do

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>you mean? You shouldn't be washing the steak knife. You

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 1>don't want to run a good knife through a dishwasher, pal,

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't care what the energy your water savings. This

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 1>is because it wears them down. And also usually if

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>you have a good knife, you have a probably a

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 1>knife with a good handle on it, and they're not

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>usually made to be run through the dishwasher, they start

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>to crack or if it's would it becomes problematic. And

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>there's no faster way to doll a knife than to

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 1>run it through a dishwasher. Yeah, what does it? I

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 1>believe particulate matter, uh, beating it, kind of sand blasting it,

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>and then also just the water, the effect of the

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 1>water over time. These are you don't want to do that.

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to do that that People debate incessantly

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 1>in marriages about dishwasher Emily and I go back and

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 1>forth about dishwasher stuff all the time because we both

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 1>do it a little bit, and it seems like one

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.600
<v Speaker 1>of those things in a partnership where one person just

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>should just be in charge and the other other person

0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 1>should stay out of it. I see, Yeah, there are

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.400
<v Speaker 1>things like that. You mean, I have laundries once. She's like,

0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I am doing the laundry. Emily won't let me do laundry. Yeah,

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:10.359
<v Speaker 1>but dish washing, we've never really had a problem with. Um,

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 1>do you both load it? No? We both hand wash.

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, you don't know, it's true. We both handwashed.

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Like I've been researching this and I notice some cass

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Gate commercials and was like is that true? And then

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.240
<v Speaker 1>that actually prompted me a cass Gate commercial prompted me

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 1>to pick this one, and um, it was like like

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 1>when I researched it, it it was like, no, the cass

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Gate commercial tells the truth, and this is something I

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 1>should not be doing anymore, which is handwashing dishes. So

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 1>you have a dishwasher and you would still handwash all

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>your dishes. Yeah, we have a nice dishwasher too, and

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 1>how would you still handwash? Well, one one reason why

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 1>is we thought that it was it uses less energy, water,

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff, which it turns out is just wrong.

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 1>And then the other reason why, as I remember seeing

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>like the guy who created the hygiene hypothesis or we

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>talked about his study once where people who eat off

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.080
<v Speaker 1>of plates or used utensils that have been run through

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 1>the dishwasher had higher incidences of allergies to like food

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 1>and other things than people who hand washed because they

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 1>were exposed to slightly more germs. So we were hand

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 1>washing because it's dirtier. Basically is that is how you

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>can kind of boil it down. But now I'm kind

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.880
<v Speaker 1>of like, man, this is this seems like the wrong

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.160
<v Speaker 1>thing to do. Handwashing dishes, and I did it like

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 1>all the wrong ways, water running the whole time, the

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:37.279
<v Speaker 1>whole shebang. All right, Well, I think that that actually

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 1>turns out to be a set up, and we'll take

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 1>a break and we'll come back and even though you

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 1>kind of spoiled it, uh, will reveal the real truth

0:04:45.000 --> 0:05:14.039
<v Speaker 1>right after this. Alright, Chuck revealed the truth. Well, it

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 1>is a big misconception that using a dishwasher, even and

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.919
<v Speaker 1>they say you should really load that thing full, but

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I have seen statistics that even doing like more half

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 1>loads per week is still a lot less water than

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 1>hand washing dishes. Yeah. Um, which is a real big surprise.

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I think one of the reasons why I didn't understand

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.159
<v Speaker 1>this because you and I grew up with dishwashers that

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.680
<v Speaker 1>were terrible as far as efficiency and water uses concerned.

0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 1>But unbeknownst to us, even though I have a pretty

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 1>new dishwasher, I'm guessing you probably do too. Um that

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 1>they they they have advanced by leaps and bounds in

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>the last few years and now they're actually like lean

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:59.240
<v Speaker 1>mean energy and water saving machines. They are the Energy

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Star program in the United States, the government getting involved

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:09.919
<v Speaker 1>and regulating things across the board. The Energy Star program

0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:14.600
<v Speaker 1>has been a massive success, and a certified Energy Star

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>dishwasher in the US uses less than four gallons of

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.720
<v Speaker 1>water per cycle, the whole thing, the whole thing, and

0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 1>you can go through four gallons of water every two

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:29.159
<v Speaker 1>minutes off your handwashing. Yeah, they have efficiency, high efficiency

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 1>faucets now that typically come in and about one and

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.600
<v Speaker 1>a half gallons per minute. And I don't think it's

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.440
<v Speaker 1>legal to have a faucet more than two and a

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.720
<v Speaker 1>half gallons in the United States or two point two

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:43.720
<v Speaker 1>gallons per minute. But even still, like like I did

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>a little math, and like you were saying, you've seen

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.040
<v Speaker 1>before where even if you run half loads multiple times

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.600
<v Speaker 1>a week, Um, if you're doing like a quarter of

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>a load of dishes and you're using all four gallons,

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.919
<v Speaker 1>you're still probably using less water than you would to

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 1>wash that cord load by hand, because it's probably going

0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>to take longer than two minutes to do all those dishes.

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.279
<v Speaker 1>So if you have the water running the whole time,

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 1>even running a quarter load is still going to save

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 1>more water than if you were doing the dishes by hand. Okay,

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 1>but hey, you're not using anything on your power bill.

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>You're not burning any coal or even using any solar

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>to use your hands. So it's clearly better to use

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 1>your hands and not that energy consuming dishwasher right now

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 1>because that hot water. Thank you for sending me up

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 1>to look like the smart one here. I appreciate that.

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Because the hot water that's coming out of your tap

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 1>comes from your hot water heater. Uh. If you're using

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 1>a hot water heater, in fact, you're actually using a

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of energy to heat that water, and it's going

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>on constantly, whereas a high efficiency or just a regular

0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 1>new dishwasher um uses kind of targeted uh hot water,

0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>not throughout the whole time. So it's not that water

0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>is not being heated the whole time while you're washing

0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 1>the dishes. If you use the dishwasher, it is while

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 1>you're doing it by hand. That's right. With an energy

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 1>star dishwasher, you can use that thing four times a

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 1>week and it will only cost you and run up

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.480
<v Speaker 1>about a hundred and thirty dollars worth of energy a

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 1>year a year. And that's even assuming eleven kill a

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:23.600
<v Speaker 1>watt eleven cents to kill a watt hour I saw,

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 1>which is that's all less than average. Yeah, so dishwasher efficiency.

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.120
<v Speaker 1>This is where Emily and I really get into most

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 1>of our scrapes. It's not times upper, times down, it

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:37.040
<v Speaker 1>is uh my, um, you know, I'm I'm sort of

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the family packer. I'm the tetris master. So when I'm

0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 1>packing a car for a trip, or packing when we've

0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.720
<v Speaker 1>had to move and stuff like that, she leaves that

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.079
<v Speaker 1>stuff to me because I'm really good at like making

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.280
<v Speaker 1>the most efficient use of a space, and I carry

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.079
<v Speaker 1>that over to the dishwasher. I can tetris that thing.

0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:58.800
<v Speaker 1>So it's so full, it's like can barely even hold

0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.440
<v Speaker 1>the amount of stuff on a rack. And it just

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.200
<v Speaker 1>makes me so happy. Whereas Emily will get in there,

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.440
<v Speaker 1>she'll be like she'll use the juicer in the morning

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.200
<v Speaker 1>and maybe the food processor that you know, these things

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 1>have large, sort of multiple components and that's it. You

0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>got like two glasses and then that stuff to run

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>a dishwasher load. And it drives me crazy because then

0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the stuff is stacking up in the sink and uh.

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I try to be like, honey, you gotta put more

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 1>stuff in here, and she's like, no, it's better just

0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:30.040
<v Speaker 1>to run up more. You just gotta stay on it. Huh. Well,

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.280
<v Speaker 1>So one of the things that popped up to me is,

0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's just you, me and Momo and I here.

0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:39.360
<v Speaker 1>So we have a limited number of dishes um that

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 1>we use and that we even have in some cases

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.200
<v Speaker 1>we kind of try to trim it down to whatever

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 1>we need, not like you know, we each have one

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.280
<v Speaker 1>fork or anything like that, but you know, like the

0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 1>number of cops and that kind of stuff that we

0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:54.200
<v Speaker 1>have hanging around is limited to where we couldn't do

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:59.760
<v Speaker 1>the dishes just once a week, like you just can't.

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.240
<v Speaker 1>So that's it's kind of like still run the dishwasher.

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:07.440
<v Speaker 1>No you can't, Yes, of course you can. You come

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.160
<v Speaker 1>over anytime you want. That's my dream, dude. If Emily

0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:13.040
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't think I was crazy, I would assign each family

0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.200
<v Speaker 1>member a cup before, a spoon and knife, and a

0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 1>plate in a bowl, and I would throw everything else

0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:22.440
<v Speaker 1>out because we have She'll go through eight water glasses

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 1>in a day because she just sits them down and

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.640
<v Speaker 1>then goes and gets another one, and it drives me bonkers.

0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 1>So you're decorating an inspiration is like re education camp. Man.

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 1>It makes me crazy, and then kids like you'd be

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>surprised at how much how many dishes a six year

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.720
<v Speaker 1>old will go through it too. Oh yeah, no, you

0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 1>totally can, especially if you have a lot of dishes

0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:46.720
<v Speaker 1>you go through, you know what I'm saying, Yeah, and

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:50.120
<v Speaker 1>then they build up to they just kind of just accumulates. Dude,

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.200
<v Speaker 1>We've got like twenty five coffee cups and I don't

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 1>drink coffee. It's ridiculously like a cute coffee cups though,

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 1>So what are you gonna do deny her her her collection? No,

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.440
<v Speaker 1>And I don't actually blame her because that is the

0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:06.760
<v Speaker 1>thing that we have the most of too, because you

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 1>can get cool stuff and we like our plates. We

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:12.520
<v Speaker 1>have lovely plates that we like. But we also get

0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.960
<v Speaker 1>into it with the other things in the efficiencies, which

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:18.800
<v Speaker 1>is resisting the urge to pre rense. I'll do a

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:22.000
<v Speaker 1>scrape and throw it in the dishwasher and Emily he's like, no, man,

0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:24.040
<v Speaker 1>you gotta rinse that stuff off really good or it's

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.199
<v Speaker 1>not going to get clean. And they're saying, not true. No,

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Emily is a demon from hell for even suggesting that. Apparently,

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell her that, yeah, like you do not prerense

0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:38.520
<v Speaker 1>the dishes, that is Ah, as one of the guys

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:42.320
<v Speaker 1>from the Natural Resources Defense Counsel, I think the senior

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:46.560
<v Speaker 1>scientist his name is Noah Horowitz, says, it is a

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:51.360
<v Speaker 1>complete waste of water and energy, and you're a demon

0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.600
<v Speaker 1>from hell if you do it. That's what the dishwasher

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 1>is for. That's what I always say. But there's another

0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.160
<v Speaker 1>thing that comes from our upbringing and our being eighties

0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:02.679
<v Speaker 1>and seventies kids too, is you That did not used

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 1>to be the case. Those things basically had to go

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:08.920
<v Speaker 1>in sparkling clean for them to come out sparkling clean.

0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 1>And now dishwashers are just that much better, where if

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.400
<v Speaker 1>you scrape the stuff off and you put them in there,

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna come out clean. Remember that ad for either

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 1>dishwashers or dishwashing detergent where they they baked in frosted

0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:23.840
<v Speaker 1>a cake and then put the whole thing with the

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.240
<v Speaker 1>plate on it in the dishwasher and ran it and

0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:29.560
<v Speaker 1>it came out clean. I don't remember that. One's gross.

0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 1>It's almost as bad as that lys Al commercial where

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:35.240
<v Speaker 1>the woman uses the raw chicken to wiper counters down

0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.800
<v Speaker 1>rather than Oh, I haven't seen that either. Oh, it's

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.440
<v Speaker 1>tough to watch this one. Was not nearly as bad,

0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.680
<v Speaker 1>but in the same ballpark for sure. Well, they say,

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.480
<v Speaker 1>scrape it, fill it up as good as you can,

0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:51.880
<v Speaker 1>don't do the pre rents. And then if you can

0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 1>afford to upgrade from that that nineteen nineties model that

0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:58.840
<v Speaker 1>is using way more energy because you're you know, it's

0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:00.719
<v Speaker 1>gonna cost you in the long ground and with your

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:02.839
<v Speaker 1>water bill and with your power bill. So if you

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:04.800
<v Speaker 1>can scrape together the money to upgrade that to a

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:08.520
<v Speaker 1>to a better, more efficient, newer machine than do so. Yeah,

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.000
<v Speaker 1>but it sounds like even those older machines, depending on

0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:14.240
<v Speaker 1>how many dishes you have to do, are still better.

0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 1>There's still save water compared to hand washing. Yeah, and

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.679
<v Speaker 1>I will I will admittedly hand wash um like really

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 1>big mixing bowls for salad bowls. I'll handwash that stuff

0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.040
<v Speaker 1>because going back to my pet peeve, that takes up

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:31.800
<v Speaker 1>a rack, uh right, it does, which is kind of inefficient.

0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.080
<v Speaker 1>And plus also it's it's satisfying to washing them, dry

0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.319
<v Speaker 1>that off and put it back quickly. Yeah. I kind

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.200
<v Speaker 1>of like that. You guys are neat like that too, Yeah, yea.

0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 1>If you if you have, you should come move in

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:48.240
<v Speaker 1>with us, like you can all right, Um, we'll get

0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:52.400
<v Speaker 1>a draw un okay. Um, So if you don't have

0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 1>a dishwasher, and you're like, well, I'd like to save

0:13:55.440 --> 0:14:00.360
<v Speaker 1>energy and water, you jerks, but I don't have a dishwasher. Um,

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.040
<v Speaker 1>there are things you can do to save water and energy,

0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:06.680
<v Speaker 1>and that is uh if you can manage a two

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:11.599
<v Speaker 1>uh tub sink you know what I'm talking about in

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.760
<v Speaker 1>the middle split tub nice, Um, you want to fill

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 1>one up with warm soap, you water, let the dishes

0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 1>soak in that for a while, and then fill up

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 1>the other one in clean water and rinse them off

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:25.240
<v Speaker 1>in there and just put them up. Don't run that

0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.960
<v Speaker 1>water while you're doing it. That is good enough and

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.480
<v Speaker 1>that should do the trick. That's the key. And don't

0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 1>run water while you're standing there brushing your teeth. No,

0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I I came up with the biggest waste of water

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:39.640
<v Speaker 1>that you can possibly do. It's where you dump ice out,

0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:43.640
<v Speaker 1>so you're dumb, you're wasting water to begin with, and

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:46.560
<v Speaker 1>then you run warm water over that to make it

0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:50.400
<v Speaker 1>melt fast. Oh no, I've done that before, and I

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.560
<v Speaker 1>was like, this is the biggest waste of water you

0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:56.800
<v Speaker 1>could possibly do when making That's a great way to

0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:58.200
<v Speaker 1>do it. There's a lot of stuff you could do

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.280
<v Speaker 1>just starting with the ice, but really try to make

0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:03.960
<v Speaker 1>it melt faster for zero reason whatsoever. Then it bothers

0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.400
<v Speaker 1>you that there's ice in the sink. That's a big

0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:09.920
<v Speaker 1>waste of water. I've learned my lesson ethic. Okay, well

0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.560
<v Speaker 1>is that it? Yeah? I think we admitted some things

0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.320
<v Speaker 1>that didn't make us proud of ourselves, but we can

0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:17.720
<v Speaker 1>all move on to now. Well, thank you to everyone
