What’s the longest you’ll go without changing your bathing towel? 

A few days? A week? Both are relatively reasonable answers. 

But for ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky, he let's his stew for a while longer. On Tuesday evening, Orlovsky shared his routine when it comes to hygiene and towel rotation, and his revelation left the internet appalled.

In a reply to an already-bizarre tweet from Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey, the former UConn and Lions quarterback revealed that he uses a shower towel as many as 30 times before switching it out for a new one. 

“Question is: How many times do you use a towel post shower till you throw it in laundry? I’m 30 times or so till it goes in. And no I agree but that air better be HOT,” Orlovsky wrote on Twitter in response to Humphrey, who had posed the idea of a full-body air dryer. 

With all due respect to Orlovsky, 30 uses is vastly too many for one towel in between washes. And Twitter was quick to let him know that, with a slew of commenters roasting the ESPN analyst. Among those voicing their concern was Humphrey, who seemed taken aback by Orlovsky’s admission. 

Hopefully, amid the sheer number of people expressing their disgust over Orlovsky’s towel habits, the 39-year-old can learn a valuable lesson on bodily hygiene and make some crucial changes to his routine.
