a Canadian man goes 15 months without washing his jeans let’s talk about that good morning Chia Lincoln it’s Monday January 24th 2001 and one hope you had a good weekend I did I’m sure you had a at least a par weekend I mean I wasn’t injured I didn’t get sick did you do any laundry uh I picked up some laundry but you didn’t I don’t do my own laundry what Kenny look at me thinking that’s below you know I picked up some dry cleaning but I didn’t do any laundry okay well uh thanks to at mom of six boys on Twitter we were alerted to this news article where a guy in Canada didn’t wash his jeans for fifteen months if you have something you want us to talk about of course you can go to our Facebook page facebook.com slash rhett and Link or you can add us on Twitter Addis you can add us like she did mom of six boys she got six boys and she still got time to add us well don’t have a seventh that’ll go away the hit thanks for being a committed good morning to you Lincoln viewer let’s talk about this well you’ve got the article right here on your your smartphone and so smart it has news articles this guy first of all this guy’s Canadian so that explains something yeah I love Canadians Josh ‘la wanted to wear out the jeans for simple fashion purposes in order to achieve the perfect worn torn and wrinkled look that is now desired in jeans and also available for purchase at nearly every store that sells jeans yeah since when do you have to wear jeans for 15 months in order to achieve something that you can use somewhere by Josh is uh got one Canadian screw loose well he’s an extremist okay you for purist he’s a do-it-yourself it’s actually a nun pierced he was just jeans to be on pure yeah in a pure way so and then he goes on to say three major points that make the jeans look worn he said are whiskers the creases in the quad area whiskers yeah it’s like you know where your pants started like a cat get Catwoman jeans yeah and kind of like the you know in the groin area starts to look like it’s got whiskers coming out of it like I didn’t mean like the little like threads coming off the the in the seams is that what whispered no he’s talking about from from the from the crotch if you want me to say it whiskers go out where there’s wrinkles in here from sitting down listen I’m not if you’re not up on the fashion trends I can’t help you with this I’m not into that this is not a fashion show not in the whiskers this is the talk show I’m into pleading secondly the pleading is not gonna be one of these things secondly the creases in the quad area made when sitting down that’s the upper leg is the thigh thirdly fading of the quads from natural wear of the jeans creases behind the knee and stacking of the Jean at the cuffs is at the bottom these are all things that washing the jeans does not prevent yeah I’m very confused about this Canadian yeah it’s like you know I you can you can wash your jeans and it doesn’t delay the wearing process in some ways it actually speeds it I’ve never heard of stone washed or acid wash jeans what work with me JA they were washed in acid and stoned to make them do Josh what you want them to do in Canada but he acts like such a you know such an expert he’s quoted as saying the rule of thumb is to wear them for about six months for the desired look so some people don’t wash them at all during that time but some wash every month it’s kinda an accent like I just said about that’s all you had to do yeah that’s all I got as you wear it it develops and I eventually got the creases I had wanted I’m happy with the results but here’s what they did that he teamed up with this scientist and they turned it into like a science experiment to see if oh my gosh you’re the Dyess project we’re like a trifold poster board results conclusion I’m searching the article and they don’t say as long as it was presented on a piece of poster board that had been folded into three sections I think it’s a real experiment at the end of 15 months five kinds of bacteria were found in the genes all skin bacteria and most of it in the crotch region we’re between 8,500 and 10,000 bacterial units per square centimeter were found that’s low that’s low the scientist McQueen is quoted as saying for healthy people with good hygiene it’s not a health concern for healthy people with good hygiene they wash their jeans frequently so I you know again another moot point you know but I’ll go a long time without washing my jeans now yeah it’s not an experiment and you can now say because of this experiment that you could go fifteen months and it’s always just skin bacteria mostly in the crotch region but nothing that a healthy person would contract anything from unless you’ve got a lot of open wounds don’t like your legs or some I mean I feel like really you should only wash things that you know I think you should wash your underwear and you should wash t-shirts anything that’s against the skin as long besides the last areas of skin and and I just think that you should wash those on a regular basis I mean don’t wear your underwear twice and you know unless you’re going camping you can wear it for three or four days you know that’s just–that’s camping but really yeah but I’m thinking that jeans I mean I you know I’ll go easily two months without washing jeans but just just because you need to take them off you put them back in the closet you put them on the floor whatever and then you just pick them back up you smell them in there and they’re fine two to three months I mean how many pairs of jeans you got you wear one in a week or something right right I I think what I do is I’ll start on a Monday like I’m wearing these black jeans today and then like at the end of the day I’ll take them off and I’m going to get into bed and then I get up the next morning and I’m like I’ll leave the bathroom and there’s my bedroom and there’s my jeans just waiting to be put back on so go on so then you know that happens pretty much all week and then it’s not unless you get a stain or something if you get mustard on them or something yeah you’re washing but I mean we don’t do anything that can cause stains around here I mean we don’t need hot dogs you know we don’t play in the grass we don’t play flag football or tackle football I mean we basically just sit in front of a computer all day unless the computer spill something on us I mean we’re going to be okay and that’s never happened now it will happen once computers become you know have their own conscience you lost me and so what I do is then I take the jeans off and at the end of the week I just I don’t put them on the floor in the closet because that’s where the dirty clothes go I put them up on the shelf I don’t hang them up because they’re not totally clean I throw them on the shelf and then they hang over and then I yank them down for like a week later so basically I guess without knowing I’m operating on the principle that if you wear jeans for a week they should then they should then be distilled in your closet for another week and then you can wear them another week because it’s not so much about being washed it’s about being away from your stinky body for a certain period of time and then they like they snap back to normal right Josh actually put his in the freezer because they started to stink and then he said that I guess that killed what what was it well that’s all they do at the dry cleaners people put him in a freezer no they just put him on this rack and they just were a move it around and then people keep coming in picking up the clothes all they do at the dry cleaners that put them on that rack put some plastic around them whatever sound it makes in your local dry cleaners and it just goes around and then you come back and you say pick up for Rhett mcLaughlin and they say okay that’ll be two dollars sir and they give it back to you hadn’t done anything to it it’s like a professional closet I mean think about dry cleaning does it make any sense anyway people it’s a conspiracy you can’t dry clean something mmm they just put it on the thing I mean it’s quite a cash cows an opportunity we should open one all I got to do is invest in the drawer machine and the plastic I’m very angry inside now I feel like I’ve been ripped off by dry cleaners my entire life I’m just crushed well what is what is your approach to your jeans how long do you really be honest with me in the comments do you wear a pair of jeans before you wash them buying them getting a mustard stain or your computer barfing on them or whatever’s going to happen it’s all in the future yeah I don’t know let us know what you think and in the meantime I’ll be smelling my jeans let’s check in with gia Lincoln still good he’s uh as we pointed out last week he’s not going to improve at all at this point and people have suggested that we just rip his hair out and start over we’re not going to do that would be disrespecting the president but the sprouts are bowing down I mean they are starting to just just acquiesce you know I mean they’re given up we’re continuing to water him and continuing to monitor and and treat him nice after all he deserves it for all he did for our country but I don’t think it’s going to get any better but we’re going to continue this as long as it’s there really quickly before we sign off we’re releasing a video on our main channel today very excited about it every Monday we’re going to have new videos on the rhett and Link channel go check that out it’s a superhero video I’m excited that’s why my eyes are like this see you tomorrow
