Gyms should supply UNIFORMS
Summary
A straphanger thinks gyms should provide uniforms to cut down on laundry, but she's got a wild twist: disposable paper gym clothes, like the gowns at the doctor's office. Kareem pushes back hard. Why would anyone want to wear someone else's "soiled" workout gear? The rider keeps using that word, "soiled," which becomes a running joke as she describes throwing away paper dresses after they get sweaty. She hates lugging dirty gym clothes around all day or stuffing them back in her bag. Kareem thinks it's insane. Her response? "You know what else was crazy? The iPhone." He's not buying it.

So what's your take? Gyms should supply uniforms? 100% disagree. You really want to wear someone's dirty clothes? Dirty laundry, your clothes are already becoming soiled so fast. Everyone looks the same, nobody's looking at each other. It's, you go to the gym to work out, everyone looks like crap. I don't like that at all.
You want to go to a gym where they—what if you don't like the outfit? What if it's too tight? What if it's too baggy? What if it's cheap material? Here's another option: disposable gym clothes. Environmentalist, don't come at me. I'm done with like putting on a pair of leggings for an hour, they become soiled again.
Soiled? Why are you saying soil? I don't want my entire laundry basket to be filled with gym clothes. Imagine this: you go in, there's a little paper dress like they do at the doctor's, a paper dress crack out in the back. You're soiling probably the—the paper.
Why do you keep calling it soiling? It's just sweat. That's soil to me.
No, that's not soil. You take off the paper dress, you throw it in the garbage. Sorry, environmentalists again. Then you take a shower, you put your clothes back on. It's like nothing ever happened. I mean, I can get behind this. But like, I was thinking like cool '70s vibe.
Yeah, yeah, well that too. Well no, you said paper. Okay, you bring dirty gym—you have a huge bag then you soil them, right? You don't soil them, them, and then you put them back in your bag all gross and go home or you go through the rest of your day, go back to work. They're all crappy and then you wash them and then you use them again.
I'm thinking bigger and different. I don't know. I think that it's a crazy—it's a crazy, close your mouth, don't kiss it. It's a crazy idea to have disposable gym clothes.
It is crazy. But you know what else was crazy? The iPhone. Oh, 100% disagree.
