Summary

A straphanger insists the first place you wash in the shower reveals your personality, and Kareem isn't buying it. The man, a self-proclaimed "chest man," starts there for convenience, then moves to his arms and skips his legs most days. Kareem's a face-first washer who believes in "trickle down soaponomics," the theory that soap naturally cascades down your body like a car wash, making leg-washing unnecessary. He argues bottom-washers are fear-based people only attacking their stinkiest parts, while top-down washers are logical and follow gravity. The debate gets heated over whether starting with your chest means you're vain or just practical, though both men can agree on one thing: this guy has plenty of chest to work with.

So, what's your take? The first place you wash in the shower says everything about you. 100% disagree.

All right. Where do you wash first? I do. I'm a—I'm a chest man.

This makes a lot of sense. I'm not going to lie. Like, what do you mean it makes a lot of sense? Okay. So, there are three types of washers. You're either a top, a bottom, or like a wild card. I'm a top.

No, you're not a top. I'm a top cuz I start face first, which means that like I'm logical. You know what I mean? I kind of follow like the natural like forces of gravity. I wash the face after the shower. So, like after all like the dirt and gunk, I clean my body.

You clean your body starting with the chest and then the arms and then I skip legs most days. You don't wash your legs? No.

What is your routine? I'm starting top down. I'm starting with my face obviously cuz like that's kind of where you have to—

Why are you smiling? Because it's like the face. It's like you care about the face. And then I'm making my way down. You know what I mean? Like I'm really all about kind of having the trickle down soaponomics kind of happen. With the trickle down soaponomics, you don't have to necessarily wash your legs cuz it happens automatically like a car wash. But it's kind of like all the dirt is kind of like falling cascading down to there and then it kind of just cakes up there.

The thing about soap is it's clean. I'm sorry. I think face you kind of have to start with in the shower. People who start from the bottom, they're like fear based. You know what I mean? Like they're only attacking like the stinkiest parts of themselves. And I'm like, why are you operating out of fear? Like you should be bold and just like start from the face and then make your way down, you know? But you're kind of like your chest. That's what you want. That's what you care the most about is your chest. That's not true. I just—the chest is the most convenient place.

How is it the most convenient? It's right there. I guess I have more—I have more chest, so it's not hard to deal with.

We can agree on that one. Yeah, we can.
