John specifically addressed the concerns about his oven. “A lot of the response was kind of negative about how dirty my oven was. My oven door, my oven window. And I can assure you, I don’t have anything dirty in this house. I’ve never had anything dirty. I’m not a dirty person.”

To reinforce his point, John promised to demonstrate his commitment to cleanliness. “To prove I don’t have anything that’s dirty, I’m going to do something to show you,” he added, hinting at a possible follow-up video to showcase his kitchen’s tidiness.
