Speaker 1 (00:01):
Moments that define the year.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
This is the best of Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
By the way, we we just covered a lot of
territory a few minutes ago about fact checking and this
and that and you believing everything. TikTok, says Dan from Burnington,
your Jersey objects to something we said, and he wants
to correct us. Look, let's open our minds and see
what Dan wants to say. Hi Dan, what's going on?
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Hio?
Speaker 5 (00:23):
This?
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Hey everyone, I was just texting in to say that,
you know, Froggy's actually wrong that you should put the
cap of the laundry detergent in the washing machine, because
when you don't do that, it just builds up and
you get this ugly glob that builds dust and dirt,
and then keep putting more detergent in that cup and
it's gross. So you throw it in the wash. It
(00:45):
washes the detergent out of the cup and then you
have a clean cup every time.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Okay, how can we dispute that? I mean, it is
technically cleaning the cup.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Why can't you just rinse the cup under like water,
like at the sink, because it takes.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
An don't have to sink and I don't have a
sink in my laundry room, so I'd have to really
make a trip and everything. So it's just seemingly take
it out when you're done.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
You have a laundry room that doesn't have a slop sink. Yes,
I love that term slop sink, that's what they are.
We've got questions, YESI gandhi.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Are you not running the risk when you throw that
plastic lid into the wash that one it melts it
if it's hot, and then gets all over yourself. Or
two it breaks apart and then you have plastic shards
all over instead of just taking the cup a few
steps to a sink and washing.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
What do you think you know?
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Because those aren't gonna melt in that temperature, That that
plastic is not gonna melt in the temperature washing your clothes,
because then your clothes we get damaged. It well, it
doesn't usually break because it's you know, within the clothes
and everything just getting thrown around. But I wouldn't put
it in maybe with delicates, if you know you're worried
about stuff like that. Wait wait wait, but otherwise otherwise
(01:57):
I throw it in with every load.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Sometimes Yet, like you know, and you grab your stuff
from the washing machine and you have to throw it
in the dryer. What if you forget the cups in
there and then the cup melts and the.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Drying your dryer it doesn't get hot enough to melt
your clothes, so it's not gonna melt the cup. And
so sometimes if I don't find it it got mixed
in with stuff, I just throw it in the dry
It comes out nice and clean still, but you're still running.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
The risk of it just shredding your other clothes. If
there's you know, a little chip, or if it breaks
in any capacity, then you have a whole load of
laundry destroyed because you couldn't walk to the sink.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Well, I've been laundrying myself for over twenty years and
I've never had a cup break on me yet.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Okay, Well, I will tell you this. Who I used
to live with for many years, he did the same thing.
He would take the laundry detergent cup and throw it
in the wash and we never had a problem ever.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Nobody.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
But also doesn't spread around the water. Aren't you supposed
to dump it kind of around and get it all
over everything instead of it's all concentrated into one small area.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Well, you know, I do dump the stuff around, but
then I drop the cup in so the cup gets cleaned.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Look, you know a lot of people agree with Dan.
I don't. I mean, I just look, do what you
want to do. Man, if you don't want to put
the cup in, don't put the cup in. I can
definitely see there could be argument from some points of view.
I don't think that either the washer or the dryer
is gonna get hot enough to tear up your cup.
(03:19):
At the same time, I don't know my detergent never
ever clogs in my cup. My cups always don't.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Do that with anything else. We don't do that with
anything else that we use a cup to measure a device.
We don't just take the whole thing and throw it
in there. Take the measuring cup and dump it in
your soup.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
It's not the same thing. But is this really my question?
Is is this really worthy of an argument?
Speaker 4 (03:41):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Not at all.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
This doesn't affect my life in any capacity. I'm going
to keep doing my laundry the same way, and he
can keep.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Exactly think of Dan should look like seriously, for years
and years, I would pull the laundry out to put
it in the dryer, and I'd find the cup. I'm like,
always look for the cup because he always puts got
in there. Whatever, it's okay, Scotty is surperplexed. Yes, Scotty,
what my question is this?
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Who uses a cup?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
The top of the detergent container is a cup and you.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
That's what he throws there?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Okay, but you just screw it back on and deturgeent
goes back in the bottle.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
You don't have to rinse it out.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
None of you have one that's a larger bottle with
the spout to dispense it. So it's not, you know,
not model that I get. Dan.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Don't sound so angry at Dan.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Stop telling you angry. Dance Dan, You're okay. Don't let them,
don't let them yuck. You're young and I'm the scary
saw on TikTok that you're supposed to drink the detergent.
Those pods are right, I Dan? You go, do you Dan?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
It's all good.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Thanks for listening to us.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Thank you, Love you guys, long time listeninger. Have a
great day. God.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Somebody told me the pods are bad for your clothes?
Is that true?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Sometimes they don't disintegrate. That's the problem.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I hate that when they're gooey and they don't disintegrate.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
So what do you use? Do you use pods or
do you use liquid?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I use lick liquid or powder? I use liquid, I
use powder, I use lit And they told me that,
you know, in the dishwasher, the dishwash guy came over
to fix the dishwasher. What do you say, the gel
detergent is your best bet.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah, they always say that. I've heard that too, But
i do have a big box of pods, so I'm
gonna I'm gonna use them in my dishwasher. But they say,
do not put the pod in that little box that
closes the door. They should just put the pod in
the dishwasher. They said, that's the way you should do it.
But this is all a bunch of TikTok bull crap.
So this is what they say. You know what I'm
(05:40):
saying this is don't take it. Don't take anything on
the show in fact ever.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Ever, nothing we say ever.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I love that you guys. It was like Dan was
living in the castle on the hill and you all
had your torches and you're.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Going down killed.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
There was that big steel knocker on the door, clean boom,
Come out Dan, Dan, Come on the detergent lid using person.
