Showtaro Morikubo Yells "You Idiot!" at Cleaning-Averse Nobuhiko Okamoto & Masaya Fukunishi

On ABEMA, episode #30 of "Say You To Yo Asobi Saturday" was broadcast on Saturday, January 24th at 9 PM.

This broadcast was the second installment of the "Cleaning Quiz Project" that was conducted in episode #28 broadcast last December, which Showtaro Morikubo missed due to illness. The show featured "Cleaning Grandpa's Long-Awaited!? Sparkling Life Hacks Quiz!" where Morikubo, along with Nobuhiko Okamoto and Masaya Fukunishi, learned cleaning-related life hacks in a hands-on demonstration format.

From the beginning of the program, Morikubo expressed his love for cleaning, saying "I like keeping things in a state where I don't have to clean all the time," while Okamoto and Fukunishi both confessed that they are not good at cleaning and organizing. Morikubo passionately stated, "The iron rule is to wipe immediately when something gets dirty and never put it off" and "When it comes to cleaning, I'm extremely nitpicky," and there was even a scene where he gave them a "scolding of love," yelling "You idiots!" at the two who felt cleaning was a hassle and tried to get by with just spray-on cleaners.

The group put on aprons and rubber gloves to take on the hands-on demonstration quiz. While various tips were introduced, such as how banana peels are ideal for removing dirt from leather shoes, the final question asked, "What removes bathroom limescale the most?" and they had to choose the best option from "eggshells, vinegar, vinyl tape, and sandpaper." While everyone was amazed at the cleaning power of "vinegar," which Morikubo recommended, the situation changed drastically when an extremely dirty bath chair actually used by the program staff appeared. Morikubo challenged it with the ultimate combination of vinegar and baking soda, scrubbing hard with a sponge, but it didn't change dramatically, and he said with a wry smile, "This (dirt) is stubborn!" In the end, putting aside the true principles of cleaning, he proposed an extreme solution, saying "Let's just scrape it off with sandpaper..." which filled the studio with laughter.
