How often do you wash your jeans? What about sheets and towels? You're gross.

No food topic, but important nontheless: dirty denim is nasty and there is nothing better than clean sheets on the bed, right? In fact, JP's sheets are in the wash as we speak.

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hm. This is Eating over afink pop cough. The Eating over the
Sink podcast. Another mini episode today, Guys, Eating over the Sink Episode
nine, I believe, episode nine. And it has to do with laundry,

(00:20):
guys, And it's settling a you'regonna be settling a discussion. And
it has to do with washing laundryand blue jeans and how often you wash
jeans because I don't wash jeans afterone wear. I don't think most people
do. I can wear a pairof jeans three maybe four wears deep before

(00:41):
I throw them in the wash.You guys, that's about normal, right.
I agree with you. You couldgo probably at least three or four
wars before you I would beg todiffer. Manual label doesn't dictate dirtiness like
you sweat and there is natural bodyare very porous materials. They hold that

(01:06):
they hold the stanky sank every time. But like I think, you've got
to be you know, you've kindof got to be a sniff You've got
to do the sniff test. Whereare the jeans? Do you sniff?
Use your imagination? You know,well, you know it's not going to
be at the ankle. Isn't justjust for the record, So I'm going

(01:38):
to say this with a lot ofrespect. I am I am not allowed
to do laundry in my house.My wife has a very specific process and
about doing the laundry and how theyseparate and different blah blah blah, and
the chemicals you put in blah blahblah, but all that stuff as well

(01:59):
as how she holds and puts itaway. But can't you can't you dictate
what's what gets washed and what.So this this is my point, right,
Like, so throwing in the hamperwhen you're done, Like I whenever
I wear a you know, anoutfit that sounded weird, whenever I put
clothes me more about your outfits,well, you know I'll change outfits,

(02:21):
like I change outfits a couple timesa day. For sure. I have
a workout outfit, right, Iget up workout that goes in a separate
hamper with all the workout stuff,right, because that's all real gross and
you have to wash it kind ofsait a minute, and then a separate
hamper, officer, officer, andhe's got hampers for different That's what I
want to be clear, Like dirtyclothes absolutely capable of doing laundry. Would

(02:44):
love to contribute do my thing,but you know, one of my wife's
passions, I should say, likethat, consider that to win. Man,
I'm gonna be I'm gonna be sleepingin an RV when I get home
tonight. But like, like she'svery particular about it. She has a
very specific way she likes to dothings when it comes to laundry. So
my role in the process is makingsure I get the stuff, which I

(03:06):
know I'm really bad at, likeputt my stuff into my hamper. So
like, this is what I don'tunderstand with that. How do you have
enough workout clothes to have a separateI've never you know, youve got like
four or five. You don't workout driving to work? Is that working
out? He has a very specificworkout routine. But but like in terms

(03:29):
of so it's back to that,like how many times do you wash jeans?
All that? Like I when Iwear clothes, I just throw them
straight in the hamper, one afterone. Where so she doesn't like you
too much. She's doing laundry allday every day. Yeah, there's constant
coming. Well it's just not notjust me like my family, Like you
got kids, like kids are fillingjeans with jeans. So my daughter rides

(03:53):
horses, so she wears a lotof jeans doing the stuff. That's different.
But but we don't drive jeans.You don't put them in the dryer,
no, no, no, no, you leave them a hank.
You don't put jeans in the dryer. No, no, you hang jeans
to dry, because if you putthem in the dryer, you'll be that
really interesting dude out there in theworld with like jeans they're like two inches

(04:15):
shoes. So this is what Ihave an opinion on drying jeans. You
don't dry them, you're correct,but you don't. You don't iron them
either. What I do I dowet towel jeans and the dryer for like
a couple of minutes, just toget the wrinkles up. How do you
feel about that? That's a technique. I get that, but like that,
don't I'll put jeans in the dryeron a lower setting, sure,

(04:40):
like for like a full dry well. No, I mean it'll be on
a lower dryer setting. It won'tbe like so you guys, so again
going back to the kind of butyou're saying you wear them two three times
and then correct. I'll wear jeansto work. I'm not really working.
I'm not sweating or getting them mudor anything. Go home, take them
off, I'll hang them up inthe closet and I'll wear them again a

(05:04):
time or two. Where do youhang them in the closet, So you'll
fold them back up like they're washed, and you'll put them back on a
hanger and put them in a negative. Now I won't put them. I
won't put them next to clean clothes. Do you have a hook, I'll
have a jeans You have a jeanshook? How many pets of jeans you
go? That's a big hook?Why just for the one one at a
time? So I'll wear I'll weara pair of jeans two maybe three times,

(05:28):
take them off, put them inthe closet on my hook, in
the back of the closet, andthen I'll put on shorts whatever when I'm
home. Yeah, and then thenext day I'll wear the same pair of
jeans the next day. So quick, A different quick scenario where we have
kids who play hockey, we gotout of town. How many pairs of
jeans do you pack for a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, weekend
hockey trip jeans plains. Probably onepair of jeans and one pair of maybe

(05:54):
some joggers, joggers or something morecomfortable. Yeah, those are the type
of sweatpens. So you're taking onepair of jeans if it's my body type,
Yeah, I get one pair ofjeans for the trip. Yeah,
yeah, jean I'm wearing. I'mBrent generally bring. I probably plan it
like this. I put outfit perday kind of thing. You won't recycle

(06:14):
outfits, an outfit for every day. So I'll be like, I'm gonna
wear these pair of jeans once ortwice, got a couple of shots.
I'll wear these joggas, these shorts, you know. Yeah, So for
a four day trip, I taketwo pairs of jeans. You gotta have
two pairs in case you have anaccident with one pair, you get mustard
on your jeans. And a restaurant. You gotta have a you gotta have

(06:35):
a backup, what credit cards for? Yeah? Now, I just now
on one pair of jeans for fourdays and maybe, like I'm with you
on the jeans, I'd probably bringmore sweatpants than I would like. The
nicest if you're talking about a hockeytrip or a sports kids travel trip.

(06:56):
Yeah, one one pair of Right, here's a question. You wear jeans,
you take them off at night,you know you're going to wear them
the next day? Do you keepand if you're wearing a belt, do
you keep the belt in the jeans? Always take? Do you take the
belt all the way out of thejeans all the way out? If I'm
if I'm wearing them the next day, like you're out of town in a
hotel, you take your jeans off, do you lay them out with the

(07:18):
belt still in the jene or doyou take the belt out of the jeans?
I probably take the belt out becauseI wouldn't need to put them in
my other pair of pants by shortsor whatever. Well, I'm not wearing
a belt with joggers, you dingdong nong. So I hang my jeans
back up though, That's why Itake the belt out. Like if I'm
a hotel or at home and I'mnot you know, if I'm going to

(07:40):
recycle my jeans, I'm hanging themback on the hang of there on.
So I think the gene makers recommendthe denim makers say, they say you
should only wash your jeans or denimlike once every three weeks, which is
extreme to me. No, Idon't do that because or my wife does

(08:00):
not do that. Yeah, tojay Z's very early point is they start
to get a little bit of afunk go on. It's definitely a stag
because you know your body sweats.But there's other things too that you that
I think don't need to be washedevery time, like a bath towel,
a shower towel, because you shower, you dry off, your body's clean,
dry your clean body, your dryyour clean body, You go back,

(08:24):
you hang up your shower. Ihave a towel rod in our we
have a walking shower, hang upthe towel in the shower, and it's
good for a week. Do youhave opinion on that? Yeah, we
know it's similar, okay, butso so we have a hook. We
have hooks for the towels and arail like a pirate. Yeah. So

(08:48):
so I think the washing of thetowels is a little more frequent than once
a week, But I don't reallypet attention to don't do it. It's
that's because if a week being sevendays is okay, it's probably four days,
five days. And then because ifyou did it every three It's all
you do is wash towels. Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. And

(09:09):
and you know if you buy nicetowels that they're built with stuffy, like
the cheap hotel towels that you know, thin and gross and god knows what
kind of stains on it? Doyou like? Okay, so this is
sidebar. Do you like a towelthat's really thick and fluffy or do you
like a towel that's got a littlebit more of a ritz to it,

(09:31):
like paper? Well, that wouldbe the extreme, but a little more
of a I don't like a realfluffy towel. I like a more of
a great well, I would alittle more of a resistance. I like,
I want to dry off and Iwant to feel like a freaking man.
I want to tell you this,it doesn't really matter what kind of
towel I have, because I'm moreof an air dryer. Oh kind of

(09:56):
you kind of kind I kind ofpad off pat, but I kind of
I'm an air dryer. He doeshave a nice skin, But how is
that take about? After you getyour teeth brush and get all your smell
goods on, and that's about yourdry So you're naked in the bathroom air
drying while you're doing all that.Yeah, my private bathroom, yes,
yes, my private bathroo. Yeah, we have a master. Yeah,

(10:20):
we have a bathroom and with yourwife. Yeah, okay, you've never
watched around naked in front of yourwife? No, no, I don't
know if you're standing in your bathroomevery Thursday. So I'm kind of with
you on that one. I wrapthe towel around your waist and to stand
there. No, I I'm gladto talking about this. I do like.
And then after that, I putmy socks on that episode one,

(10:43):
episode one, I towel off,so we're consistent with that. Then if
I have to do something else,brush my teeth, take some medicine,
shave whatever, Like I'm wrapping myselfin my towel. Yes, yeah,
I'm not wrapping myself in the town. Yeah. No, no, no,
I feel like a tower round yourwaist and a tower on on your
head, like your hair. Iput it round my waist, tower round

(11:05):
your waist. Yeah. Okay,do you go above the belly button with
the towel or blow the belly button? Kind of? If it fits round
to my guts depends on Yeah,you go I wasted on the tower rap,
or I go high waist. I'ma tower rap. Do you really
high waisted me in like above youbelly button? Yeah, because it makes
you feel skinnier. So I've neveractually done to try that. So I'm

(11:26):
assuming when you go to the poolyou do a wrap with the towel.
No. When you're leaving, you'regetting red leave, you just get out
of the pool. They say,let's leave. Do you do the rap?
No, because by the time I'mready to go, I'm dry.
Look, you just go out ofthe pool. Yeah, but I got
out of the pool. I plan. I got out of the pool and
I'm like, I'm gonna leave abouttwenty minutes, so I just rap then
lay the towel out on the seat. You'd rather do a rap? I

(11:48):
would wrap get a wet suit on. Yeah, and I'm going to walk
out to my car so I don'tget my car seat all wet. Right,
Yeah, I'll drive home in atowel. That's fair. See,
I don't I don't do it that, but I'm not. I don't do
it that way. But you're fine. I don't know what I'm not.
What about bed sheets? Some peoplewill go a long time without changing their

(12:13):
sheets once twice normally twice a week. Twice a week, No way,
my wife does yeah on bed sheets. Yeah, now sheets like you have
the bed in amerits once a week. Let's get into the territory of the
bed. Number one flat sheet onthe bed. So let me let me
describe. There's a first sheets.What's a flat sheet? There's a fitted

(12:37):
sheet that covers the mattress, correct, and then there's a flat sheet that
goes over, and then you havea comfort or a bland kid or whatever.
Right. Yeah, I loathe aflat sheet. Love it, hate
it, love it. I lovethat sheet. It's the coldest sheet on
the bed. It's kind of cool. What kind of No, it gets
tangling up with you, It getscaught up in your legs. When it's

(12:58):
hot in the summer time, youdon't want a comforter, and I sleep
hot. I do too. Imy body temperature is warm at night.
So you like the room cold?I like them very cold, me too.
So I don't know. My wifeneeds like seven layers of like Arctic
approved Eskimo style, all the comfortersstacked up. I'm okay with one thin

(13:20):
flat sheet. In most cases inthe summer, it just keeps just keeps
the fan off me a little bit. Yeah, see, I don't I
gotta have, gotta have. Can'tstand a flat sheet. I if I'm
too hot, I just sleep withoutanything on me. Really, now I've
got short so psychopath, you canjust sleep in a bed without anything on
top of me. Correct. Lastnight, here's what happened last night.

(13:43):
That is insane. Yeah, noone sleeps with no black night. Last
night, I it was like Ihad the problem, the number one the
problem ones the fan was on low, should be on medium or high.
For whatever reason it got turned onis on low. So I'm at two
o'clock in them on whatever time itwas, I wake up freaking sweam or
hot. So I one hundred percentjust through all the blankets. The sheet

(14:07):
I don't even I kick off immediatelyand push it over to my wife's side,
so I don't even have it.So I just threw the blank off
and I just turned on my sideim. And why is she washing the
sheets twice a week? You're noteven using well Bev. Bev loves a
just that that feeling in the scentand the feeling of fresh sheets there is
nothing better than which is onto aclean bed, which which is super awesome

(14:30):
one hundred percent with that, buttwice a week? Yeah, how many?
How many sets of sheets do youhave? Two? Three? Two
or three? Hold on, Idon't know how many sets of sheets you
have? I think three. Ithink we have so we have relatively the
same color. So yeah, likeI whatever. I just do you know
where the sheets are stored in therein your house? I do? I

(14:52):
do, just because when I haveno idea, when Sam has sleepovers,
I gotta put other sheets on otherbeds. My wife says, change the
sheets I have? I where arethey at? I have no idea where
there? I will. I willhelp my wife make the bed because I'm
assuming I'll have king beds. It'sdifficult to reach. My wife is small,
so I shall say, hey,I changed, I make the beds.

(15:16):
I'm not allowed to. Again,this comes down to preference, not
I don't want to. I willgladfully do anything my wife wants me to
do. Sure, I understand you'renot specially you're not that guy. Yeah,
not that guy. So we canall agree at least once a week,
maybe maybe eight days if it needsto go. Whatever, like that's

(15:37):
a long time. Really think,what are you doing in bed? What
do you think? I mean,I'm sleeping.
