I was talking to Matt and it got me thinking that the way I phrase this is weird. My instinct is to say the first option, although I think the second option probably falls more under the "proper" way.

Which would you more likely say?

I don't know which is proper but the first one is definitely not something I would say. It just sounds....weird.

The phrase is awkward to begin with because it's sort of an idiom.

" I have to do the laundry" is the way I usually say it though.

Don't most guys say "Oh, I'm out of clean underwear...guess I should do some laundry." :dunno
