Icemaker

They don't clean the ice machines.

But will someone poop in the ice machine?

No, I-

Like while people are washing their hands

There used to be a guy-

You wanna tell about the guy on the TV? Okay.

Yeah, I was gonna say in Houston, Texas, they had a whole show called Slime in the Ice Machine.

Coming up this hour, your Houstonian pet peeves, and we learn about a video game in development set here in Houston called, well, hang on, let me attempt my best Marvin Zindler here, Slime in the Ice Machine.

Yes, that is what it is called.

What?

... ice machine.

Game changer.

[laughs] How so?

Especially when you're having hot pot, everybody's gonna have a ice cup.

Hmm.

So I buy them kind of regularly, and I also, I don't have a ice machine, so I still, um, just put water in the ice cube and produce ice on a daily basis.

Good job.
