FunTranscript
00:00This is something that we all do every single day, and apparently we're doing it all wrong.
00:07It's loading your dishwasher.
00:09I'm the dishwasher master.
00:11I do the dishes in my house, and when Amanda tries to come in and Tetris it, I'm like,
00:16uh-uh, you are talking to the Tetris king.
00:18I can make it all fit.
00:20Dallas is the dishwasher police.
00:25Like, if you do not load it his way, you are wrong no matter what.
00:30This is what I hear.
00:31And I don't even, to the point where I don't even want to load the dishwasher anymore,
00:35I would rather do the dishes by hand and lay them out to dry them, put them back in the cabinet.
00:39Read your article, and then I want to know what Dallas says you're doing wrong.
00:42Everything.
00:43I'm doing nothing right.
00:44I can't wait for him to hear this article.
00:46Oh, is he doing it wrong too?
00:47I think some of it.
00:49Okay.
00:49So, obviously, you can't just throw everything in there, right?
00:52Well, you have to, this is number one, that Dallas is doing wrong.
00:57Letting the dishwasher wash the dishes.
01:01Dallas wants every, like, the dishes to look clean before they go in the dishwasher.
01:05And I'm like, that's the whole reason we have a dishwasher.
01:07Like, yes, you rinse them, but it doesn't have to be, like, spotless when they go in.
01:13Anything, like, if you had, if you melted cheese on a plate or something like that,
01:17it might not come off because it's, like, melted on.
01:19So, yes, you got to get that off.
01:20But I agree.
01:21Well, here's the thing.
01:22This article says that don't worry about rinsing them off completely because it actually tricks
01:27the dishwasher sensors.
01:29Like, there's sensors in the dishwasher to tell when your plates are clean.
01:32Oh, dope.
01:34I have no idea.
01:35All right, what else?
01:36Plates go on the bottom rack.
01:37Okay, we all know that.
01:38We're not animals, right?
01:39Nope.
01:39Okay.
01:41Bowls should go on the top.
01:42Yeah.
01:43Okay.
01:43Yeah.
01:44And you push them, you kind of lay them on the front rack, like, forwards.
01:49It does say that they need to be on an angle so that water doesn't pool in them.
01:53Yes, bae.
01:54Look at you, Mr. Mom.
01:57Cups go upside down.
01:59Spoons and forks go in their own cup.
02:02You can't just, like, mismash everything together.
02:05I'm guilty of that.
02:06What do you mean?
02:07There's a rack that I put spoons and forks and knives in on the bottom left-hand side.
02:11Yes, but they, like, almost have a cup that they go into, right?
02:14Yes.
02:14Yeah.
02:14So all the forks should be together.
02:16All the spoons should be together.
02:17Are you serious?
02:18All the knives should be together.
02:19I didn't know that.
02:20Yes.
02:20All right.
02:22Knives point down, handles up.
02:25We also do this backwards.
02:26No, you have to do that or else you'll cut yourself.
02:28That's what I think.
02:28It's a safety thing.
02:29Yeah.
02:29I load them down.
02:30Dallas turns them up because he thinks-
02:32That's dangerous, Dal.
02:33I know, but he thinks they dry nicer.
02:35It's possible.
02:36That way.
02:37I'd still rather not cut my artery trying to do the dishes, so.
02:42Pots, obviously, don't go in there.
02:44They get washed by hand.
02:45Plastic containers need to go on top, away from the heat.
02:48Can I ask you something?
02:49Yep.
02:49Do you put strainers?
02:51If you strain spaghetti, you don't put the strainer.
02:54I put the strainer in the dishwasher.
02:55I wash it by hand.
02:56Uh-huh.
02:57Because then if you start putting a bunch of stuff in there, then you're only going
02:59to fit, like, three things.
03:00That's true.
03:01Okay.
03:01Um, and then if you do put pots or pans in there, they need to be away from the door
03:07because they could block the deployment of the detergent.
03:11There's people texting us telling us that this list is wrong.
03:14No.
03:15Yes.
03:16No.
03:16704 texted in and said you're not supposed to put plastic in the dishwasher at all.
03:20Well, that is true because when you heat it, when you heat up plastic, it, like, releases
03:25toxins and that is true.
03:28But nobody has time to watch, especially if you have kids, wash a million things by hand.
03:32Oh, I got a good one for you.
03:35And, uh, is it people poll worthy or is it just one call says it all?
03:40Tell me.
03:41Let's see.
03:42Uh, Amanda will put the covers into the dishwasher.
03:48And if the covers aren't dirty, if you put in, like, a glass bowl, like, leftovers, and
03:55the cover's not dirty, she still wants the cover to go in the dishwasher.
03:59And I say the cover doesn't need to be washed.
04:01No, it needs to be washed.
04:02Maybe rinsed.
04:03Oh.
04:04It needs to be washed.
04:05What say you, MRL fam?
04:06Let's do one call says it all.
04:09Even like, even like this.
04:10Like, um, if you're using your...
04:13What?
04:13You don't wash the top of your Yetis?
04:15No, no, no, no.
04:16You can rinse them.
04:17You don't have to put them in the dishwasher, though.
04:18Their mouth is all over them.
04:20Of course you don't have to put them in the dishwasher.
04:21Nikki and Charlotte, can you settle this argument for us once and for all?
04:26They have to go in together.
04:29Oh, together, no less.
04:30What are they?
04:31They married?
04:33Yes.
04:33Husband and wife.
