Miami is Now Pricier Than NYC & The Massive Train That’s Making Adults Cry

Morning Brew Daily

[SPEAKER_A] Good Morning Brew Daily Show. I'm Neal Freyman.

[SPEAKER_B] And I'm Toby Howell.

[SPEAKER_A] Today, meet the locomotive so majestic it's making grown men cry.

[SPEAKER_B] Then Miami is now more expensive than New York City. It's Wednesday, July 22nd. Let's ride.

[SPEAKER_A] It's time to settle this debate once and for all. You shouldn't rinse dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. Went down a home appliance rabbit hole yesterday and learned that the expert consensus is that prewashing your dishes results in a less effective job by the dishwasher. And that's because your dishwasher has sensors that measure how dirty its contents are, and those sensors are easily fooled. If the dishwasher is duped into thinking your dishware is clean from the get-go due to the rinsing, then it will run a shorter, less powerful cycle. So you're just supposed to scrape off large food scraps before loading up the dishwasher and nothing more. Toby, I feel like so many listeners are about to say, I told you so to the person who always makes them pre-rinse.

[SPEAKER_B] So I hear you, but I will always be a scrub first guy. I don't trust the black box of the dishwasher. I want visual evidence that's going in relatively clean. To get more scientific with it, your dishwasher detergent has these molecules called surfactants that latch onto food pieces and pull them away towards the water. But guess what? So does your dish soap. So I'm surfactanting away food molecules with my scrubbing, just like the dishwasher is. However, I watched that same video you watched. I learned that dishwashers do not use that much water. They use the equivalent of running your kitchen sink for about 2.5 minutes.
