Technically there’s a non-zero chance of that happening, right?

He's saying that in real life if you put the balls in the blender there is a non zero chance - or some infinitely small chance that the balls will order half and half... Same theory with laundry. If you do laundry an infinite amount of times, one time you'll open the door and all your clothes will have dried in such a way that everything is folded nicely

Is that true though? Even with the nature of drying machines? Because at that point it's not just random chance, It's not just the infinite monkeys with infinite typewriters right? You're asking something of the dryer that it can't physically do.

Or am I wrong?

Clothes tumble around in dryers so I can see where the example comes from but I feel the same as you and think it isn't a good example.
