Andy Lee's gross laundry admission divides Aussies: 'Unlimited wears'
Comedians Hamish & Andy have divided Aussies with a controversial take on how often they believe different items of dirty laundry actually need to be washed. In a recent podcast episode, Andy Lee disgusted fans with his bold admission about re-wearing used socks across multiple days and wearing pants and shorts repeatedly 'until soiled' with stains. 'Bec said to me this morning, didn't you wear those pants yesterday? I said yes,' Andy told his co-host. Andy, 43, strongly disagreed with his fiancée Rebecca Harding on her pro one-wear-one-wash laundry stance. 'PANTS?! 'Pants are unlimited,' Hamish Blake replied in shock.

Comedians Hamish & Andy have divided Aussies with a controversial take on how often they believe different items of dirty laundry actually need to be washed In a recent podcast episode, Andy Lee disgusted fans with his bold admission about re-wearing used socks across multiple days and wearing pants and shorts repeatedly 'until soiled' with stains Feeling emboldened by Hamish's support, Andy suggested the pair set down their own laundry guidelines for each common piece of clothing. 'I would like us to establish what is the given amount of days' wear per item,' Andy said. The pair then devised their own set of 're-wear rules'. T-shirts can be worn for 'a day and a half,' Andy agreed after first suggesting two days. 'I don't think you can do two full days,' Hamish countered, considering the warm Australian climate. 'One day for undies, and you can add a night if you sleep in them also,' Hamish said. 'One plus a night because I do sleep in undies.' Shorts and jumpers can be worn an 'unlimited' number of times, according to the duo, provided they don't get soiled by food or coffee stains. According to Hamish & Andy, T-shirts can be worn for 1.5 days The podcast quickly went viral on social media, with fans and followers divided on the rules 'If you can look after them, you can keep them. It's like a puppy,' Hamish said. Jumpers could go an entire winter season without a wash, they argued, with proper care. 'Again, until soiled,' Andy said. Perhaps the most controversial laundry rule in the short video, which quickly went viral on TikTok, is Andy's opinion on socks. 'Socks can also be worn for a day-and-a-half,' he said, arguing that dirty pairs of socks can be re-worn for exercise because they are only going to get dirtier. 'If I'm going for a run, I prefer to use a soiled sock,' Andy said. 'It's only going to have a 30-minute life out in the wild. So why not use yesterday's sock?' Perhaps the most contentious point in this discussion is Hamish referring to the shoe as a 'pristine environment' that should prevent clean socks from dirtying. 'UNTIL SOILED?' one person asked with a series of crying emojis on TikTok. 'As soon as something has been worn on public transport or in an environment that I don't control, it's time for a wash,' one user commented. 'Bras: 1-30 years,' US comedian Nikki Glaser said. 'Depends where you live. In Melbourne undies = 1.5 days… in Darwin, undies = 1.5 hours,' another pointed out.

‘Unlimited wears': Podcaster's gross laundry admission
A recent segment from Hamish & Andy's podcast has sparked a national debate after the comedy duo weighed in on how many times one can get away with wearing clothes before they need a wash. In a TikTok video that quickly went viral, Andy Lee recalls a recent conversation with his partner, Rebecca Harding. He says, 'Bec said to me this morning, didn't you wear those pants yesterday? I said yes?' 'PANTS?!' Hamish Blake replies in utter horror. 'Pants are unlimited'. Feeling validated, Lee goes on to explain that he and Blake should establish some ground rules for how often people should wear certain items before washing them. The pair then devised their own set of 're-wear rules'. For T-shirts, they reckon you can get away with about 'a day and a half'. When it comes to undies, they agree that one day is acceptable, and you can add a night if you sleep in them. For shorts and jumpers, their advice is to wear them until they get 'soiled', with Blake saying that jumpers could last all winter without a wash. Socks, according to them, can also be worn for a 'day and a half', and dirty ones can even be worn again when exercising, as they're going to get sweatier anyway. But what do the experts say? We spoke to the laundry pros at OMO to get the real advice. When it comes to how often people actually wash their shorts and pants, OMO insists 'there's no hard rule', and it really depends on your lifestyle and level of activity. 'Unless shorts and pants are visibly dirty or worn during exercise, many people find they can go a few wears before washing, especially in winter,' they noted. To keep them fresh between washes, they advise you to air them out and spot clean as needed. And what about T-shirts? Well, the podcasters were pretty spot on with this one. 'T-shirts worn directly against the skin, especially in warmer conditions or while sweating, should generally be washed after every wear,' the OMO expert said. 'Even if it's only been on for a few hours, body oils and bacteria build up quickly.' When it comes to undies, they urge that they should be washed after every single wear, no exceptions, as 'they come into contact with bacteria and sweat, so daily laundering is a must'. The same goes for socks – one wear, one wash. 'Re-wearing socks can lead to fungal infections, unpleasant odours, and general discomfort,' they advise, so best to err on the side of caution here. Bras, on the other hand, can be worn two to three times between washes, depending on your level of activity and what the care label says. Jumpers don't need the same wash frequency as base layers - think every five to seven wears, unless you're wearing them directly against the skin. 'However, winter means more time indoors, more couch naps, and more sneaky spills, so occasional washes are still a good idea,' they said. 'If your jumper is made of wool or other delicate fibres, be sure to use a detergent designed for woollens'. The podcaster's didn't touch on activewear, but like undies and socks, they too should be washed after every wear. 'Sweat, bacteria, and body oils accumulate quickly in performance fabrics, even if they appear clean,' OMO's expert explained. So there you have it! Do with this information what you will. But what did Hamish and Andy's fans think? Thankfully, they were with the expert on this one and were a bit grossed out by the boys' unhygienic admissions. 'UNTIL SOILED?' one person asked. 'If the socks come off, they ain't coming back on, one wear that's it,' another replied. 'Guys, a shoe is not a pristine environment,' someone else pointed out. 'As soon as something has been worn on public transport or in an environment that I don't control, it's time for a wash,' a different user shared.

Melbourne-based radio star shocks fans as he quits leading breakfast show after seven years: 'I'm at the end of what I can give'
A Melbourne radio star is stepping away from his top-rating breakfast show after seven years behind the microphone. Jack Post, 37, who has made a name for himself on The Christian O'Connell Show on Gold FM, quit the program on Monday morning in an emotional Instagram post. Jack shared a slew of snaps from his time on the show, including one of him playing a guitar in the studio with Christian O'Connell and another with his wife Bianca and son Gordon. Telling fans that it was one of the 'hardest decisions' he had ever had to make, the radio host revealed the reason why he was calling his time on the popular breakfast program. 'I love this show deeply, and it has given me so much. But there is something in my gut telling me it's time to close this chapter and write the next one,' he wrote in the caption. 'When I left radio with Hamish & Andy in 2017, I honestly didn't know what was next for me then — but I had an excitement and giddiness for the thrill of what it could be. He added: 'I'm so happy it turned out to be The Christian O'Connell Show. 'It's time to step away again, make space, and see what's next,' he shared. Jack said that he was grateful for the listeners who tuned in for the morning show over the years. 'Thank you to each and every listener who chooses this as their breakfast show. 'I love talking to you in the mornings, I love meeting you on the street — don't stop saying hello,' he wrote. The radio star then went on to thank his colleagues at the station, particularly Christian, who he said had been on of the 'most profound relationships of my life'. 'It is the defining friendship of my 30s, and his impact on me will last forever. 'I've so much more to say about him, but for now I will simply say: I love you, mate. Thank you for everything.' The Christian O'Connell Show also posted a clip of the host talking about his exit from Gold FM. 'Jack Post leaving the show this Friday,' Christian announced in the segment. 'I don't know what to say,' Jack replied with tears in his eyes. He added: 'It's been an amazing period of my life and in some ways surreal to say goodbye to it, but I can't tell you how much it means that you guys have been supportive, accepting, understanding of this decision and I'm going to miss you so much.' 'It scares me, it terrifies me but it also excites me and fills me with joy,' he added with a shaky voice. He went on to say that many people in his life, including his parents, couldn't understand why he was walking away from the radio gig, but said that he felt 'comfortable' and 'calm' waiting for 'whatever is next'. 'Sometimes it does feel like running a marathon and I'm just at the end of what I can give and run for this show, even though I love it so much.' Jack made headlines in 2022 after opening up about his debilitating struggle with post-natal depression that left him 'crying uncontrollably' on the floor every night. The Australian radio producer shared his story with his co-host Christian on his daily radio show for RUOK Day sharing the 'shame and guilt' he felt after he and his wife Bianca welcomed their son Gordon six months prior. He said he was 'embarrassed' about being a dad with post-natal depression but has improved his mental state in just a few short months after being open and honest about his feelings with himself and family and friends. 'It started when my son was born in March, and you remember how giddy I was during the pregnancy. I was so excited for him. I couldn't wait. I felt like I was across everything,' Jack told his co-host. 'I felt like I did 10/10 job of being a husband right up to the birth and then something changed after he was born, and it was really strange.' While Jack was excited Gordon has arrived safe and healthy and Bianca was well, the 'crazy amount of love' everyone was telling him he would feel for his new baby didn't come. 'I felt guilt and shame of bringing this little guy into the world who I am meant to love so much, and I can't feel that for I love him so much but that didn't come for three months,' he said fighting back tears. 'I went through what is called a post-natal depression, something I didn't even know new fathers could get. I thought it was something we had to be worried for Bianca as I know there is a high rate of post-natal depression in new mums, and I was the one feeling it.' Jack said some nights he would sit alone on the floor of Gordon's nursery with his head between his knees 'crying uncontrollably'. 'I felt Bianca was the one who did all the work, she brought him into the world, she went through the pregnancy, and I am the one who has depression and is crying on the floor. I felt so much guilt and shame and embarrassment about that,' he said.
