Almost a third of Aussie men admit to not washing
their hands after going to the toilet.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
A third also twenty percent of women, by the way,
also foul. Just this is this is wheeze. We're talking
exclusively wheeze for this.

married to someone who literally stands out the side of
like the Marrion toilets and if people don't wash their hands,
Jimmy will tell them, mate, wash your hands. My kids
wash their hands after every time they go to the toilet.
I cannot believe that this is something that you do.
You don't wash your hands?

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Nope?

Speaker 1 (01:00):

You're my doodle is clean. Oh yeah, So I've woken up,
I've had a shower, right, and I've put on a
pair of jocks, fresh jocks, smelling lovely, by the way.
By the way, we've got some sort of rosy like
And then I have not touched anything. It has been
nestled in cotton. It's not touching any of my skin.

(01:54):
And I've gone to the bathroom and I've dropped the dacks,
done a little wheat, dropped, pulling the dacks back up,
touched one Mike crow millimeter of clean skin, just to
direct the stream in the right in the right area.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Actually, I know you think it's clean, but it's not sterile,
and there's skin bacteria all over that. That's not the
biggest issue. The fact that you're touching that area is
an issue. But the fact that you're touching a toilet button.
Where old mate, there's a phantom pooer here who goes
at eight o'clock every morning and does his business and
it stinks, and then he flushes the toilet. And you've

(02:28):

It doesn't pool on the button, but he's had.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
His hands on, Like, I don't want to get to
the nitty gritty because that's gross particles. Do you not
see it takes twenty seconds of your life to wash
your hands.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
I just think that it is such a minimal thing.
And the amount of germs that your hands get Hayley,
just from like touching every single doorknob, from picking up money,
from like putting your hands in your mouth. They are
the dirtiest things in the world.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
It's a toilet. Do you go and eat in the toilet?
Do you make your dinner in the toilet?

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Nah? I think that you will find most gentlemen are
pretty happy to do this.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Women apparently are also happy.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
To do that.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
I think that is so yuck.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
More people would do it than you would think. And
you're still fine, You're not you're not dead, You're okay.
It's doing it and touching you and it's okay.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
It's the thought, and it's twenty seconds of your life
to be clean. You're not just washing off the toilet,
you're washing off all the other stuff you've had on
your hands.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Your laptop, your laptop keys which you're plodding away on
there are absolutely filthy before we got those. It's not
a toilet dusting.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
But didn't your mom does to wash your hands.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
If the toilet, I'll take out toilet and just put
in germs, because really it's germs. They're worried about germs
and things that and get you sick. Germs everywhere, So
you're okay.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
If toilet banks this.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Microphone sock that you speak into and you're one centimeter
away from all the toys because you've been spitting on
it all.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Day, I know it's a fout. If I go to
the toilet right now and I don't wash my hands,
and I came over to you and I put my
hands on your face, how would you feel?

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Don't care?

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Oh, I really don't care unless you have done something
on your hands, in which case, wash your hands.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
That's gross. Not only do men not wash their hands,
but they also lie about it. So what Sometimes I'll do.
I went to the toilet the other day. Max came
in after me. I walked out. I didn't know he
was in the other cubicle. I came out and just
gave my hands a courtesy wash.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Because he knew someone was in.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Because you know what's wrong, No, no.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Listen, because some people are judging you like you.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Correct, but also at home, what I'll do is just
run the tap and not actually put my hand under it,
so it sounds like I've washed my hands.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
That is so lazy.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Why wouldn't you just wash it youry and it's a
whole process. Who cares? My god?

Okay thirty one O two three? Where are you at
with this? I'm just I feel sick that that's the
people that I worked with. I did not know that
