Tom Segura Says Washcloths are for POOR PEOPLE

Welcome back to Never Famous! Today, we're diving into a debate that's as hilarious as it is enlightening - the great washcloth controversy. It all started when we stumbled upon a statement by Tom Segura claiming that 'washcloths are for poor people,' sparking a conversation that's about so much more than just bath time preferences.
In this episode, we're breaking down the cultural, hygienic, and personal aspects of how people choose to get clean. From the shocking dismissal of washcloths as a symbol of poverty to the defense of good old scrubbing with a loofah, we're covering all angles. We debate the merits of hands versus washcloths, loofahs, and even the high-tech bidet, in a quest to understand what these choices say about us.
Join us as we laugh, argue, and maybe even change a few minds about the best way to get squeaky clean. We're not just talking about personal hygiene; we're exploring how these everyday decisions are influenced by culture, class, and personal preference. We're also sharing some of our own shower routines, revealing the diversity of methods within our own team.
So, whether you're team washcloth, hands-only, or something in between, tune in for a lively discussion that's sure to make you think twice the next time you step into the shower. Drop us a comment to let us know where you stand in the washcloth debate and any other cleaning hacks you swear by!

I'm a black person and i feel black people need to stop being so defensive about this. I have a problem with people using a washcloth to wipe their a$$

[@kendrelltownsel5790]

That’s the equivalent to brushing your teeth with your hands.

[@elijahaugust]

i mean if your body is covered with food & plaque then yea lmao

[@SuperHonkyPodcast]

You sound ridiculous. You can wash a car using nothing but a hose and soap. Or you can wash a car using a pressure washer, rags, and soap. Both are clean!

[@AntajuanGrady]

@@SuperHonkyPodcast but one is cleaner lol

[@Mynameis7nad]

A. It's a joke he clearly doesn't think like that. It's meant to be funny and get a rise out of everyone who uses one. B the whole basis of the joke is that poor people need to use something other than just soap to get clean.rich people never get that dirty to where they have to scrub to get clean. They just need to lather soap as if they were washing their hands but with their whole body. C. The fact that you used a coal miner as your argument against it proves his point. Coal miners are poor and need to use things to get clean. Rich people dont get dirty enough to ever have to need a wash cloth. So it's funny when one is shocked and doesn't know what it's for.

[@mtnman8876]

Always use a loofa or wash cloth, never your hand that is gross. Also hand soap is anti microbial and doesn't need a wash cloth. By the way I'm a 35 year old coal miner and been doing it 11 years!

How are they washing their back? I think it is a culture thing cuz I don't think Asians use only their hands either lol.

[@SuperHonkyPodcast]

I've been taking showers with only a bar of soap for literally 40 years and I'm one of the most hygienic people you'll ever meet! I legit NEVER stink! I promise if you took all of you in the room talking shit right now, and me, and had random women come in and smell all of us, they definitely are NOT gonna pick me when it comes to the "who stank the most" game! The only time I use a wash cloth is for my face. And even then, it's only once every few weeks. No acne, no zits, no black heads. Yall weird AF!

🤢

[@SuperHonkyPodcast]

If you say so champ. I've legit never had a single woman mention a damn about my hygeine. It's always been the opposite. Women compliment the smell of my hair and I bet my skin/face/age looks younger than you even though I'm 40. But keep on trollin on the interwebs bud. Enjoy@@milesbronson-in9ts

[@jadawalker5042]

Sooooo do they know to buy liquid soap

[@thenewthinkerspodcast6129]

The function of soap is literally to scrub. Low vibrational cast

[@srose1088]

Explain? Soap generally lifts oils and dirt, but how is that the same as scrubbing? Do you wash dishes with your hands because the soap scrubs already? What does having a low vibration even mean to you lol? You just sound kind of dumb if I'm being honest because the whole conversation was pretty reasonable.

[@thenewthinkerspodcast6129]

@@srose1088 Simply by the chemistry of soap. The soap itself will reduce the surface tension of water and thus scrub the oil and dirt off (also can break apart the membranes of bacteria). Also due to the hydrophobic effects causes by micelles. In theory, you can wash a dish with your hand, however, your skin is not made of ceramic lol.

It’s definitely a cultural thing based on who’s around you not where your from , just a light joke 😂

[@shaiannemarie1850]

Hear me out. Hes right, i personally use an exfoliating towel and its wayyy better than a washcloth. Yes im white and we dont use washcloths we use loofahs. Now everyone ive ever known that uses washclothes still stink or they let their rags get dry, crusty and stiff. Most people who use rags/washcloths dont wash them regularly and they can grow bacteria just sitting there and i cant tell you how many times ive seen this. Now all the racist white people from the caucus mountain jokes are played out fr. Just say yall dont really understand what hes trying to say. Ignorance is bliss i heard.

[@davidg516]

Yea but they don’t use anything, just hands 🤢

[@rexxroyal]

dude it doesn’t make sense, ok so do u put a loofa in the washer?🤦🏾‍♂️😂

[@brendaw4401]

You are supposed to use a clean wash cloth every shower. You can also use a loofah. I use 2 clean wash cloths everyday. 1 for my shower; 1 for my face.

[@user-lz1fb1xp9e]

I think they said that because they are kinda racist, because in my experience black people know to use a washcloth. I am a white boy and as a child I didn't use a washcloth and was never told to - my parents didn't, for some reason a lot of white people (white americans) don't use washcloths. When I joined the Army that was when I found out that you should use a washcloth, this wasn't a shock to the black dudes there. You want pubic hairs all over your bars of soap? Yes, I guess that is why there is that stereotype that white people smell like wet dogs. I use one and have ever since I found out that it is more hygienic - my son uses a washcloth. Wash the damn washcloth in the washing machine after each use also.
