Couples get into silly squabble all the time. Luckily for Matt and his wife, The Morning Scramble can determine who is right and who is wrong with ‘Jury in a Hurry.’ Matt has always washed his clothes without adjusting any settings on the washer, but his wife insists you need to select different washes for each load.
