Howie Mandel Says "I Don't Touch ANYTHING in a Hotel" - facebook.com/JohnTesh

[trey4439]

hotels are crawling with bacteria

[TheBucketListTV]

Hes always sick because hes not letting his body build up an immunity.

[7XxshadowxX7]

i wonder if he knows that germs are in the air as well as on items and things??

[davidevgen]

he truly is the real Mr. Clean!

[CombatSportFan]

Someone needs to tell Howie about garlic supplements. They fight off 99% of all viruses and bacteria if you take them on a daily basis (and they don't have any type of bad taste or bad breath after effect.) I've been doing it for 5 years now. I used to have 1-2 colds a year, and I have had one in the last five years.

[IcyHot311]

I love howie. I dont think he has tht much of a problem. a lot of people have OCD and just get help for it.

[321beth321]

LOL Howie in the show called umm.. America's got talent!

[scusanshawSW]

i feel bad for his maid

[MissLexie2]

I slept in a motel this weekend and I wouldn't lay down without new sheets after listening to this

[XboxFanForLife]

on low volume john sounds like mike rowe

[babyjrrn]

show howie in the shower

[peanutjelly]

Towels on the floor? Really? Couldn't he have just invested in some cheap flip flops and then thrown them out once he checked out of the hotel?

[iuseapowermacg4]

@peanutjelly That's exactly what I do. I also use flip flops in the shower. But to lay down towels everywhere is kind of a waste.

[omgpushplay8]

@iuseapowermacg4 to him, thats not a waste. he has germaphobia, so to him thats like, sacred. he has to do it

[MissLexie2]

@peanutjelly I would do that to, but he said somewhere that he can't wear open toed shoes and shoes with laces because they become untied hence touching floor. I agree on the sandal thing though

[Madnessonman]

"I'm always sick."

Yeah. In more ways than one. 

[swimmer565]

i want to throw him into a dumpster and see his reaction lol

[danlublock]

PS. It wasn't a run down hotel. It was voted one of the Top 3 in Lakeland Florida. Still think Howie's going overboard?

[danlublock]

Yep i use to work at La quinta in lakeland florida. What a disgusting group of People! The supervisor trained me and showed me how they put the sponge inside the toliet water with NO GLOVES mind you, and then Use that water to do the cleaning of the Tub and Vanity. I also was "Trained" how to make a used set of dirty sheets slept on by someone look Clean and new by just making the bed nicely for the new people coming to stay. I quit after 2 days. How Gross!

[iuseapowermacg4]

@danlublock To tell you the truth, I wouldn't be surprised if even the more upscale hotels did this. I saw a news story a while back that showed fecal bacteria on surfaces throughout the room. Even on the TV remote. This is because maids would use a rag for the toilet and clean the rest of the room with it.

[cartoongameshowfan76]

I don't blame Howie or anyone for not wanting to touch anything in a hotel.

I knew a little about OCD but after watching Howie on DOND I really started learning more about it and just what all they have to go through.

[crackerjack113]

OCD anyone?

[Nemesis000000]

He indeed has OCD, it's common knowledge, and not really funny when it's this serious.

[agactinggirl]

I have very similar issues...I also make towel rugs...they need to be clean and brand new everyday...or I am never barefoot...

[Babigirl1969]

i completely get it. i'm very picky even at home

[MrBlue609]

What a freakish loser... Someone needs to bring his ego back down to where the rest of the world lives.... I hate Howie... Someone should prank him with a germ prank maybe ashton Kutcher....LOL

[tweetybird1231000]

what if u were like that......would u like if i called u afreak

[shindak666]

What a fucking freak.

[tweetybird1231000]

screw you.....what if u became OCD,,,,,would u like it if i called u a freak.....exactly....keep ur comments 2 ur self

[Lvduggo69]

I heard on the stern show howie has a 6,000

Toilet at his house. It does everything but suck your cock.

So he's got the toilet a tv and a phone and the weirdest thing of all a fridge right in front of the toilet. How fucking cool ! He never has to leave the bathroom.

Howie u da man !

[TF2legend]

dude thats like being afraid of ghosts their not real but some people believe in them

[harryupscrabble]

i don't understand it fully. what exactly will happen if people do not respect howie madel's wishes of not being touched. if someone catches howie off guard and deliberately touches him will howie go ballistic or would he just die like a vampire being exposed to sunlight? or would he turn blue and go into shock like people allergic to peanut butter do when they eat peanuts without knowing it? couldn't OCD people just simply "get over it"?

[TF2legend]

You should just get in your head that you will get sick more often if you do all them things. Where the fuck do people develop OCD from?? Sitting around all fucking day watching T.V. Just wash your hands before you eat and remember never to touch your face. BTW the more germs your immune system encounters the stronger it will get.

[harryupscrabble]

@IndustrialListener okay i stand corrected then. i made the assumption that howie mandel is a germophobe and presumed that all germophobes are like howard hughes. but you are saying that howie could just be a person with OCD and he does not really have germophobia on the level of howard hughe's germophobia. howard hughes must not always have been on that level. he started at a lower level and progressed to the point of not leaving his room. howie seems highly functional. what's the problem then?

[harryupscrabble]

okay i guess there is a difference between obsessive compulsion disorder and germophobia. if i have my facts correct a true germophobe is someone like howard hughes. it's possible that howard hughes didnt have OCD.

[WMDFoxhound]

He does also have OCD. In his book he says he went to lock his door 15 times.

[harryupscrabble]

aha! i knew it. there is something fake about howie. real germophobes don't act like howie. howie is an actor. he is probably just acting. just because someone's mom went to college with him, it doesn't mean howie was not faking it. people fool other people all the time. hollywood is a machinery all about the business of fooling people. howie is a hollywood type. colleges are full of germs and people. how can germophobes function in places like colleges. or pretty much anywhere that is crowded.

[gilkison]

Howie has a Toto toilet.

[Danjoker619]

I wonder how he wipes his ass when he goes to the bathroom??

[vistaway3008]

i shit all over those towels you stepped on and wiped my ass with your pillow covers

[toguNYC]

Human brain can create anything!!! IF one thinks there is no germs he will be very comfortable in a hotel room.

[Criachri]

What black light stain detector/UV inspection lamp does Howie use? He is seen in the with one at 0:46 to 0:50 . Some I found are the "As Seen On TV" UV Black Light Stain Detector for $7.50, Bayco UCR-9000 for $58.99, the Spectroline Professional Long-Wave Inspection Lamps (ranging from $50 to the EA-160 is $329.95). I'm looking for something for private use in my home bathrooms as well as in hotel rooms. Any suggestions would be welcome.

[jaythestingray]

Well the kind of hotels he stays in I would hope would be cleaner than most. If you worry so much about germs you could easliy take up all of your free time fighting them......cause there everywhere! Thants right Howie!

[FreeCapital]

I'll say it again, it's not that wacky. I would never do it; but people have sex and puke and sneeze all over those rooms, throwing all kinds of biological material everywhere; and they hardly ever steam clean or replace those carpets, so it's THERE. It's dry, but it's there.

[invaledcode]

@FreeCapital once any of that stuff dries though, its dead

[LoveJoyPeaceComfort]

sex puke and sneeze, all the same time?  Wow i'm pleased i'm single.

[c4r50n1]

@FreeCapital You do realize that they clean those places?

[superDEROB15]

well at least he's aware of it. . . . PSYCHO!!!

HAPPY GILLMORE XD

[harryupscrabble]

of course he is aware of it. germophophia is fake. howie used germophobia to revitalized his "down in the toilet career". no woman will stay married to a true germophobe. a woman needs to be kissed and carressed and be made love to. what woman prefer turkey baster to the veiny real thing? real germophobes don't have families. howard hughes was a true germophobe. howie is just a greedy fake hollywood type whose main purpose for existence is to be "on camera" and make as much money. sad but true.

[alpacasarebomb]

@harryupscrabble you are very rude and mean. Howie has OCD, I have it too. It is very real and its scary. let me tell you a little something, anyone who deals with OCD has a fight with themself everyday, these people work harder then you would ever believe. this is a disease and it is REAL, it is difficult and unless you struggle with this, i suggest you keep your mouth shut about it. this message goes to all of you who are judging Howie.

[harryupscrabble]

hey YOU may really have OCD but that doesn't mean howie really has it too. there are a lot of fake people around. one sign that they may be fake is the fact that they work in hollywood. people in hollywood do all sorts of undignified actions to maintain their fame. if priests could molest kids and be pedophiles what makes you think howie can't be a lying turd? just being realistic, man.

[harryupscrabble]

and real germophobes avoid high profile lives. they avoid public places. they avoid people. like i said before, people like howard hughes were the true germophobes. howard hughes did not care if he was a famous germophobe. people just found out. but howie mandel is broadcasting his fake germophobia to everyone. that doesn't sound like a germophobe. if people throw pies at bill gates then howie mandel is asking for someone to throw germ cocktail at him. a true germophobe would not do that. what 4

[alpacasarebomb]

@harryupscrabble I know Howie my mother went to Collage with him. He does truly have OCD.

[harryupscrabble]

let say howie truly does have germophobia. then isn't howie a slap to the face of other "low-functioning" germophobes because howie seems like a "high-functioning" germophobe. it's weird that someone would marry a germophobe. sure it's her decision to marry him but what about the kids. the kids have no say. the kids have to put up with howie's difficulties. it's selfish for germophobes to marry and put other people through all that "torment". germophobes deliberately weaken their immune system.

[harryupscrabble]

the immune system needs to be exercised and made strong by fighting germs. a flu vaccine is really just a weak virus introduced to the immune system to fight off. howie is weakening his immune system by avoiding al that germs. his kids might have weaker immune system through genetics. howie has millions of dollars. if i am him i would move to the arctic and never marry. there is less germs in the arctic cold. there is also less people in the arctic cold. i certainly would not move to hollywood.

[AirSlicer5]

He has a fear of germs.

[horsruldaworld]
