After almost three decades of marriage, Mark Consuelos has cracked the code to Kelly Ripa‘s heart. On this morning’s episode of Live with Kelly & Mark, the actor offered a dramatic retelling of the one thing that gets his wife hot and bothered: when he empties the dishwasher.

According to a study, women are more turned on by men who complete “simple domestic acts,” Consuelos revealed. While he is “phenomenal around the house” and is able to fix anything with a “toothpick and an Allen wrench,” he opened up about one of his rare acts of kindness.

“Sometimes when I think that I need to change the mood, I do go downstairs, it’s like 6 a.m. before she wakes up — queue the music,” he said, while swanky music began playing and the lights dimmed. “I open up that dishwasher, I take out that Le Creuset pot, I say ‘Where does this go?’ And then I take out that cheese grater and I put it away.”

He continued, “You come downstairs — maybe I have a cup of coffee made for you. I say, ‘Sweetie, I have a cup of coffee made for you.’ And you say, ‘What happened to the dishwasher? It’s open. Did you leave it open?’ I say, ‘Not only did I leave it open — it’s empty.’”

Meanwhile, Ripa had the best response when her husband asked if it was “hot” when he empties the dishwasher.

“It’s like porn,” she quipped. “That’s like lady porn. It really is. If you empty a dishwasher for me, I will go to war for you. I’ll do anything for you — anything you want.”

However, Consuelos said the “one hiccup” he runs into is when he doesn’t know where some of the kitchen items belong. When he joked that he gets “scared” to ask Ripa because he knows “the reaction” he’ll get, she called him out for not paying attention after “30 years.”

The Riverdale alum even tried to trap Ripa by asking if she knows where they keep the “flathead Phillips screwdriver” — much to his fail.

“I know exactly where it is,” she said. “It’s in the top drawer, on the right-hand side, underneath the scissors.”
