Right???? Also a barista-made coffee is a service that you tip for if you'd like to. A house/home/residence is a human NEED one might argue a human RIGHT xD the NERVE
I have NEVER had a landlord "respond to afterhours emergency calls". Never. Takes them days, if not weeks, to respond to the voicemail I'd leave. Then MONTHS to have the issue resolved.
Right lmao. I literally told my building manager about an awful looking leak in the basement...... a year ago. He claims that he had it inspected and that there was no leak. Bruh. The gaslighting??? Also while I'm at it I used to have a landlord who gaslit me and my gf too. We called him bc we smelled a sort of burning plastic smell, and my gf was getting headaches/dizziness from it. Landlord comes in, says he doesn't smell anything, and jokingly asks us if we're sure we didn't just make the smell ourselves by "doing a big poop." HUH? We ended up calling the fire department and they came and eventually told us that there was just some construction (I forget what the word was) taking place under our apartment. Like........ Jfjdjjfkjf
i think it's funny that the landlord guy never brings up the fact most servers only get minimum wage and some states in the us only have to give their servers $2.13 per hour, they need the tips
the reason waiter's get tipped and not landlords is because waiters in America make less than the minimum wage. 💀I make $9/hr, and the minimum wage here, is $13.25/hr. There's no way anyone could live off of $9/hr in this day and age.
Well you are getting a lot more than other waiters, but also, maybe find another profession? I mean even working at a fast food restaurant or retail store that pays minimum wage, talent is rare and you can move up fast as long as you prove you are competent. There are also A TON of online jobs now if that's something you can manage, part time and full time that usually start paying at like 14 an hour. If they can't afford to pay their staff a fair wage they should not have employees. We already pay high prices for the food and drinks, that is the extra cost that goes to the business and employees. People who don't like to tip out of peer pressure don't go to restaurants, so you just get the people who will tip no matter what after already paying inflated prices (which I guess is good for you), or people who will tip based off the service (which IS fair, but social media makes you think it's not) and of course assholes who have the money and won't tip at all or try to maximize any little mistake.
@sewer~rat Eh obviously it depends on the area and job prospects specfic to their region but lol finding a job paying their than 9 bucks an hour can't be that hard. (obviously depends on a lot of factors but I'm just generalizing)
i was a server from 2019-2020, and our LEGAL hourly was $2.13/hr. it was ABYSMAL. note, i worked at Bob Evans, not anywhere nice, but that’s inexcusable.
@@heinzbeans1827 by this logic every single server should quit. These jobs have to get filled out, you do realize that? The "get a better job" narrative falls apart when you realize literally not everyone can have a "better job"
It's even worse in other areas/at other restaurants. My base pay as a server was like $2.30/hr plus tips, and if we didn't make enough tips to break even with the 7.25/hr minimum wage, they simply simply paid us minimum wage without tips. (aside from cash tips, which they wanted us to disclose, but none of us ever did because they would've just taken it out of our overall pay).
Ngl when I was little I didn’t know private landlords were a thing. I always thought it was companies and I was like oh okay make sense, they got employees to pay and stuff. Finding out that it could just be some guy wanting to go on vacation 4x/year was insane to me
I only knew about landlords from American media, and it just so happens that a lot of American shows have some guy who lives in the basement who fixes things that break and stuff. So I thought landlords were guys who lived in the basements of apartment buildings, wore overalls, and whose main job was to fix the plumbing. I was very surprised when I found out that most landlords have real homes, and don't know shit about plumbing. (In my mind a landlord was similar to Mario, it was very disappointing to learn that they're just Some Guy)
I’ve only had companies as my landlord and boy do those guys suck. I LITERALLY pay them and they do not put in effort to take care of their property.

My dad is a landlord but we live in Denmark and this whole conversation has also just made my eyes open to the massive differences in being a landlord in countries with different rules and regulations. My dad is an immigrant, owns a small bakery on the ground level of a 3-apt merged townhouse, and when the previous owner died, he bought the building at an extremely discounted price. Being a landlord isn't his primary occupation, that's the bakery, where he works both in the kitchen and as a cashier. The second anything goes wrong for the tenants he springs into action. Genuinely, him being a straight up workaholic has taken a toll on our relationship if anything! So hearing Kurtis describe the general landlord im america was such a shock for me (OBVIOUSLY no hate to Kurtis, go off). I will say, the bad ones probably exist here too. We just have a lot more laws protecting the tennants and i think that helps a great deal.
As a twin it wasn't fun to be dressed the same and constantly being called the wrong name. Will never understand twins who want to dress alike, but I'm a fraternal twin;maybe with identical twins the bond is different
I knew (think friend of a friend situation) identical twins and they dressed very alike, but they said it was just because they happened to have the same style and liked the same clothing, though they didn’t usually wear the EXACT same outfit at the same time lol. It was more like they wore clothes that were really similar
I’m an identical twin and we never dressed the same intentionally EXCEPT for one time. There is a international twin festival in Twinsburg,OH. Happens in August. The unofficial dress code there is to dress identical to your co-twin. There were fraternal twins there too!
My uncles are identical twins and are the most stereotypical twins i've ever met. They live together, dress the same, haircuts the same, have the exact same hobbies, have the same exact job, the same opinions, etc etc etc they are straight up the same person.
I had a landlord evict myself, my brother, my father, and our roommate, for paying the rent three days late. After we gave them heads up and told them that we would pay them as soon as we got payed, as we were living paycheck to paycheck. We had a week to find a new place, which we couldn't do obviously. So my brother and I had to stay with our abusive stepdad and my dad and his roommate was stuck couch surfing.
Japan is very organized when it comes to the flow of moving people. Signs everywhere that tell you to stand to the right and pass people on the left, or marking out 2/3rds of a staircase in a train station for one direction because way more people go that way than into a station. The natural rivers of people in the city were noticeable, a lot of the cities is directed and designed for efficient flow of masses. When I was there with my brother, he constantly just stopped in his tracks when we needed to figure out where we were or where we needed to go. It drove me nuts. He just did NOT see that people needed to circumvent us because we just stood in the way. I am very conscious of the fact, as not only do I try not to be in the way of anyone, I love efficient movement for everyone. That also means it pisses me off when other people don't go out of MY way.
Oh my god Denmark is the same way! I feel like a lot of social etiquette weirdly enough overlaps between Denmark and Japan. Its kind of chaotic to visit other countries and not have constant signage that designate whether you should keep right or left
a month and a half after i moved into my apartment i discovered that the walls, some furniture, and some of my belongings were growing a powdery mold. I have asthma and am allergic to mold. I had been coughing before this and my asthma was the worst it has been in years. The landlord tried to blame me for the mold saying it was no possibly a problem with moisture getting in. They accused me of bringing in mold spores on one of my bags and said i should take some responsibility for the mold. The day after they told me that the apartment was too well isolated from the outside to have water getting in, the roof started leaking. Like dripping into a bucket leaking lol. They got a dehumidifier which mostly keeps the mold at bay along with my spray bottle of bleach i keep on hand, but they have not fixed the leak yet. It has been 4 months now. I move out in two and a half months.
I was in Texas in the winter storm of Feb 2021 and was by myself in a one bedroom apartment without power and water for like a week. No heat, no communication about when the power company was coming to fix the downed lines, nothing. You know what the landlord eventually did? Told us we could use pool water to flush our toilets. That was pretty rad of 'em.
@@quollstar If anything that was the only saving grace to that mess, a few apartments in the complex had pipes burst and flood their place. I’m so glad you/your loved ones got through it, it was awful.
The reason London was so “slow” was because you were in central London, where all the tourists are. Visit euston station during rush hour and see the speed.
It’s wild that landlords think they deserve a tip for being “on call for after hours emergency calls” bruh that’s literally your property. It’s called taking care of your investment (and the minimum to be a decent person). When shit in my house breaks, its my job to fix it because I own it. Also YOU CHOSE TO BE A LANDLORD. And servers need tips because they don’t get paid a livable wage! Ugh.
I have a friend who bought what was a rental property, and oh boy did the previous owner not care about maintaining it. Stuff keeps popping up that they slapped together themselves or covered over so it wouldn't be noticeable. Nothing that she could have them be liable for, just expensive and frustrating for her. The most recent one was the pipes being slapped together wrong under the house so that it wouldn't drain properly and broke during the last big freeze. It smelled horrible for months and she couldn't figure out what was wrong. I feel bad for whoever was renting this place before she bought it.
It's also legally required? Like if the heat goes out or the water stops working, necessities that the landlord is responsible for, they are LEGALLY required to get it fixed ASAP, so yes, they have to be on call for that. Like where I live, landlords have to provide heating until May 31st, and they have to have it fixed or provide alternatives (portable heaters) within 24 hours of notice. So you can't just turn your phone off over the weekend.
KURTIS I FEEL YOU ABOUT THE SECURITY AT HEATHROW. i almost missed my flight home because they were (in my opinion, intentionally) going so incredibly slow. it was insane. i wonder if we had the same agents
Dude, when I was a teenager still, we had this landlord that literally put the eviction notice inside of the sympathy letter for my dad's death. They assumed we couldn't pay because the man of the house died and kicked a widowed mom and her three children out. Luckily now our landlord is actually a really amazing guy. He even helped me adjust my bike because I'm short and needed it adjusted! He also drove us to get food boxes a few times, and drove my mom home from the hospital because she wasn't allowed to drive after surgery. There's more but he's just generally an actually good guy. Generally though, landlords are scum ://
i feel that so hard about london transport, im a londoner myself and when u go on public transport on weekends u can always tell who isnt a londoner because they act exactly how kurtis says hfhdh
Responding to after hour emergencies is total bs. Two months ago, our water heater caught a bad leak and was flooding our basement. Called the landlord at 9pm and he told me to stay the night in the basement mopping and catching the water because he wouldn't send someone out to fix it until Monday. It was Saturday when it started. Now, he's talking about wanting to convert the basement into a 3rd apartment even though the gas and electricity are connected to the first floor (which I rent).... because the basement is originally included with the first floor. Told him I would NOT be paying gas and electric for some random stranger to live comfortably for next to nothing. But he doesn't want to pay money to have the apartments rewired. He hired a landscaper to cut the grass and he asked us to pay him because he wasn't passing by that day. He took it off the rent, but it's becoming a habit. No damn tip. It's completely UNDESERVED.
10:37 as someone who has lived in london almost a decade now, the slow walking is 100% just tourists or other brits visiting the city. people who live in london have places to be, and it's a daily struggle having to deal with people who take all the time in the world (especially when on the underground) - so i feel kurtis' struggle on another level
That landlord looks like he's in an apartment. If that's the case I've never lived in an apartment where I would call the landlord for after hour services. There's always been an after hours number or a maintenance line. Never once have I called the landlord for anything after hours.
I literally thought the third chapter said London and Jenna's baby and I was like: !!!! KURTIS IS A FATHER! CONGRATS! and I was so confused when he was talking about the airport for so long lmao

i was at an airport in Oslo where me and my family had a 30 min layover and we were boarding in 15 minutes and my bag got pulled aside and they went so slow that I started crying bc I thought I was gonna make my family miss the flight. but while that was happening a random guy was telling me not to worry ab it bc he’s been in the same situation so often at this airport and it will be okay and I think about him every time I’m in an airport
KURTIS OMG THE THING ABOUT PEOPLE IN LONDON GOING TO THE LEFT IS LITERALLY ME THE WHOLE TIME I WAS THERE FRRR i kept saying EXACTLY that, explaining it to my mom 💀💀
Kurtis genuinely only been to tourist areas in London as people will just bump in to you to get past. One of my favourite things about going to London is people just go
as a brit thank you for saying that about the food, i hate that other countries have that stereotype of us. maybe british food in like the olden days was bad but now there are so many different cultural influences etc. our food is amazing :)
Thank god you said it dude. When I became an adult and even before that, I thought raves were dumb. Yea, acid and shrooms r cool, but raves are a whole other level of like danger stress and or boredom all rolled in one.
Living in London I've noticed every Londoner either walks infuriatingly slow, or so fast that we have to weave in-between everyone else. It's a nightmare trying walk at my natural pace around any busy places in London.
hearing how Kurtis feels about London is so strange as someone from England. I moved to London for uni and I had to get used to how fast paced London is to the point where I had severe anxiety about going into the city. I braced myself every single time I went out. Everyone must be sprinting everywhere all the time in Toronto
My dad and his brother are twins and whenever we meet up they are wearing something at least mildly similar without knowing before what the other one will wear, just a funny thing i noticed
the rule on tipping has *always* been that you dont need to tip the proprietor / owner of the business. if your "business" is owning my home then youre the proprietor and if anyones getting tipped it should be your tenants that would basically qualify as your "employees" if you wanna look at yourself as a "boss"
Dressing the same might have been an accident if they don't live together. Me and my identical twin live on different coasts and we still have a couple shirts that we both bought without knowing the other bought it as well. Sometimes we'll Skype and we'll both accidentally be wearing the exact same outfit with little variations. It used to cause fights in highschool when we lived together because sometimes we'd both come out of our rooms dressed exactly the same. Being an identical twin is weird. 🤷♀️
when you were talking about the stinking walls that reminded me of when I would make full on eye contact with mice that lived under my bed and heard scratching in my A/C units. I told the landlord about it and they gaslit me until I thought I was hallucinating. They did nothing until there was blood dripping down the wall from the A/C unit, and even then, they thought it was my fault. Turns out a pregnant mouse gave birth in my A/C unit and when they finally took the A/C unit off the wall three grown men screamed bloody murder when they saw the afterbirth, shit, and piss that I had been breathing.
Kurtis- we all love your videos. Every single one, no matter what. Don’t be too harsh on yourself :) (easier said than done, i know.) it’s very apparent how much effort you put into everything you do because it always turns out so fucking hilarious. love u bro. very excited for later-this-year content :D
When i was a kid and me and my mom were moving into a condo on our SECOND DAY living there the landlords were all ready showing the place to other people. When the people would come to look at the place they would ask if we were moving out, imagine their surprise when they found out we are moving in.
Throwback to when I spent $1000 a month to rent a basement bedroom in Ottawa, and the landlord not only slapped drippy white paint over black mold but ALSO A BUNCH OF DEAD ANTS when I asked her to fix the mold and bug problems. And honestly if we’re being real where do you get off charging someone to live in Ottawa, on a philosophical level. I haven’t seen grass since Thanksgiving.
As an ex-Londoner I ate better there than in Canada bc there was so much more choice for me as a veg, also there are way more types of cuisines bc its such a big city. And then Londoners walking slow, this is the first time I've heard this usually Londoners complain about how slow tourists walk 😂 (airport is a different thing) but I'm glad everyone has different experiences
The landlord at the current place I'm at threatened to evict us because our pipes broke (ruining all our pantry food), and the other tenants were complaining about the smell. Keep in mind, we reported it, and they didn't do anything for days, and only got maintenance to fix it after threatening to evict us for the issue THEY didn't solve.
We also have to remember that there's a difference between tiping 5$ to someone who's barely paid enough to live and tiping 200$ to someone who already makes more money in a day than you even make in a month
Sameeeee. Airports suck because I hate the pre gate shit so bad. Once I'm in front of my gate, you can delay my ass. That's a vacation. I got my books, journals, pens, games, etc. Also tmi, but before I am officially at my gate, all bs done, my stomach turns like a roller coaster. Anyway, thank you for still posting, even with the sniffles.
I had the EXACT same experience at Heathrow. Everyone’s bag had to be looked through and there was a huge line. And there was one person looking at all the bags across like 4 different lines and TAKING THEIR SWEET TIME
11:40 Just you wait until you’re in Australia (especially here in Perth) 🇦🇺 It’s like time doesn’t exist here sometimes 😂 Lucky we have way less people than London! Can’t wait to support you at the live show, and hear about your experience up until then
Having lived in London for almost 6 years now, I can confirm that the slow ones are most likely tourists. People who actually live there are pretty much always in a rush and it's kind of an ongoing thing for Londoners to get annoyed at them (me included). The amount of times I had to walk around people but couldn't because they were all too slow.... ahh so annoying. But really glad you enjoyed your time here :) PS: So happy for Brendan Fraser! Completely deserved!

Sorry you experienced that, hopefully you’re doing better now
Japan is very organized when it comes to the flow of moving people. Signs everywhere that tell you to stand to the right and pass people on the left, or marking out 2/3rds of a staircase in a train station for one direction because way more people go that way than into a station. The natural rivers of people in the city were noticeable, a lot of the cities is directed and designed for efficient flow of masses.
When I was there with my brother, he constantly just stopped in his tracks when we needed to figure out where we were or where we needed to go. It drove me nuts. He just did NOT see that people needed to circumvent us because we just stood in the way. I am very conscious of the fact, as not only do I try not to be in the way of anyone, I love efficient movement for everyone. That also means it pisses me off when other people don't go out of MY way.
Oh my god Denmark is the same way! I feel like a lot of social etiquette weirdly enough overlaps between Denmark and Japan. Its kind of chaotic to visit other countries and not have constant signage that designate whether you should keep right or left
a month and a half after i moved into my apartment i discovered that the walls, some furniture, and some of my belongings were growing a powdery mold. I have asthma and am allergic to mold. I had been coughing before this and my asthma was the worst it has been in years. The landlord tried to blame me for the mold saying it was no possibly a problem with moisture getting in. They accused me of bringing in mold spores on one of my bags and said i should take some responsibility for the mold. The day after they told me that the apartment was too well isolated from the outside to have water getting in, the roof started leaking. Like dripping into a bucket leaking lol. They got a dehumidifier which mostly keeps the mold at bay along with my spray bottle of bleach i keep on hand, but they have not fixed the leak yet. It has been 4 months now. I move out in two and a half months.
Report it?
@@EmptySoulEm did you read their comment it says the reported it multiple times…
@@saskiaosbourne3095 i meant like to the cops or something for negligence of the property. Its illegal to have mold atleast where i live
I was in Texas in the winter storm of Feb 2021 and was by myself in a one bedroom apartment without power and water for like a week. No heat, no communication about when the power company was coming to fix the downed lines, nothing. You know what the landlord eventually did? Told us we could use pool water to flush our toilets. That was pretty rad of 'em.
jfc i hope you didnt have issues with pipes bursting at least bc me and half the people i know got flooded houses during thqt time rip
@@quollstar If anything that was the only saving grace to that mess, a few apartments in the complex had pipes burst and flood their place. I’m so glad you/your loved ones got through it, it was awful.
The reason London was so “slow” was because you were in central London, where all the tourists are. Visit euston station during rush hour and see the speed.
Kurtis is the type of person who wouldn’t own baking soda
Completely disagree, he’s a married man now
He seems like the type of person to be fully stocked on baking soda
He seems like the kind to use it in every applicable way, wym
Kurtis is the type of person to ONLY own baking soda
now this is the discourse i wanna see online
Kurtis is in his crotchety old man era 💅
It’s wild that landlords think they deserve a tip for being “on call for after hours emergency calls” bruh that’s literally your property. It’s called taking care of your investment (and the minimum to be a decent person). When shit in my house breaks, its my job to fix it because I own it. Also YOU CHOSE TO BE A LANDLORD. And servers need tips because they don’t get paid a livable wage! Ugh.
I have a friend who bought what was a rental property, and oh boy did the previous owner not care about maintaining it. Stuff keeps popping up that they slapped together themselves or covered over so it wouldn't be noticeable. Nothing that she could have them be liable for, just expensive and frustrating for her. The most recent one was the pipes being slapped together wrong under the house so that it wouldn't drain properly and broke during the last big freeze. It smelled horrible for months and she couldn't figure out what was wrong. I feel bad for whoever was renting this place before she bought it.
It's also legally required? Like if the heat goes out or the water stops working, necessities that the landlord is responsible for, they are LEGALLY required to get it fixed ASAP, so yes, they have to be on call for that.
Like where I live, landlords have to provide heating until May 31st, and they have to have it fixed or provide alternatives (portable heaters) within 24 hours of notice. So you can't just turn your phone off over the weekend.

yess
KURTIS I FEEL YOU ABOUT THE SECURITY AT HEATHROW. i almost missed my flight home because they were (in my opinion, intentionally) going so incredibly slow. it was insane. i wonder if we had the same agents
Dude, when I was a teenager still, we had this landlord that literally put the eviction notice inside of the sympathy letter for my dad's death. They assumed we couldn't pay because the man of the house died and kicked a widowed mom and her three children out.
Luckily now our landlord is actually a really amazing guy. He even helped me adjust my bike because I'm short and needed it adjusted! He also drove us to get food boxes a few times, and drove my mom home from the hospital because she wasn't allowed to drive after surgery. There's more but he's just generally an actually good guy.
Generally though, landlords are scum ://
My favourite part was when he said it's kurtin time and kurted everywhere
How original of you... Ugh
the highlight of my day is listening to this podcast while doing literally anything
LITERALLY I ALWAYS TRY TO HAVE IT ON IN THE BACKGROUND THEN I JUST END UP GIVING IT MY FULL ATTENTION FOR NO REASON
@Kit right thank you.I type faster than my brain works so i'm prone to spelling mistakes
slow walkers in london are hated by ALL real londoners
Was probably around tourists
And then they just randomly stop in the middle of the pavement? I hate it
I was so confused?? Londoners don't walk slow lmao, tourists do though and we HATE when people don't stand on the right when using the escalators
Way different but also the same frustration: walking around Disneyland
Even without knowing Kurtis was being way more respectful than most tourists, that’s so on brand for him
just me, or was kurtis more unhinged in this episode than usual? 😂
the backtracking with the bilingual to bisexual clarification made me laugh way too much shit was hilarious
Hearing Kurtis saying ''Tabarnak'' was the peak of my week. Thank you.
I just totally watched this in it's entirety- it was very really good 🤭
I’m so confused not enough time has passed for u to watch the whole thing
is the joke that you couldn't have in the amount of time it was out
10:55 “ there is no urgency 😩”, 16:40 “ i can hangout like i can wait “ 😂
i feel that so hard about london transport, im a londoner myself and when u go on public transport on weekends u can always tell who isnt a londoner because they act exactly how kurtis says hfhdh
In a time when all my rights are being taken away (i’m a trans minor in the southern US) Kurtis always helps me laugh and forget. Thank you

My mother is an antivax landlord, which is all I have to say when people ask why I don’t talk to her
Responding to after hour emergencies is total bs. Two months ago, our water heater caught a bad leak and was flooding our basement. Called the landlord at 9pm and he told me to stay the night in the basement mopping and catching the water because he wouldn't send someone out to fix it until Monday. It was Saturday when it started.
Now, he's talking about wanting to convert the basement into a 3rd apartment even though the gas and electricity are connected to the first floor (which I rent).... because the basement is originally included with the first floor. Told him I would NOT be paying gas and electric for some random stranger to live comfortably for next to nothing. But he doesn't want to pay money to have the apartments rewired.
He hired a landscaper to cut the grass and he asked us to pay him because he wasn't passing by that day. He took it off the rent, but it's becoming a habit.
No damn tip. It's completely UNDESERVED.
10:37 as someone who has lived in london almost a decade now, the slow walking is 100% just tourists or other brits visiting the city. people who live in london have places to be, and it's a daily struggle having to deal with people who take all the time in the world (especially when on the underground) - so i feel kurtis' struggle on another level
That landlord looks like he's in an apartment. If that's the case I've never lived in an apartment where I would call the landlord for after hour services. There's always been an after hours number or a maintenance line. Never once have I called the landlord for anything after hours.
I’ve really had a shit day at work and just woke up from a nap that went on for way too long so this release couldn’t come at a better time
the cup in the corner of the screen looks huge
I've been waiting for this one...TURN IT UP

I literally thought the third chapter said London and Jenna's baby and I was like: !!!! KURTIS IS A FATHER! CONGRATS! and I was so confused when he was talking about the airport for so long lmao
kurtis coming for the rave community hurt me a little but i laughed so its okay.. we're just silly little geese trynna have a good time lmaoooo

i was at an airport in Oslo where me and my family had a 30 min layover and we were boarding in 15 minutes and my bag got pulled aside and they went so slow that I started crying bc I thought I was gonna make my family miss the flight. but while that was happening a random guy was telling me not to worry ab it bc he’s been in the same situation so often at this airport and it will be okay and I think about him every time I’m in an airport
Hearing Kurtis speak French broke my brain
Mushrooms In A Fun Little Chocolate Bar ❤
KURTIS OMG THE THING ABOUT PEOPLE IN LONDON GOING TO THE LEFT IS LITERALLY ME THE WHOLE TIME I WAS THERE FRRR
i kept saying EXACTLY that, explaining it to my mom 💀💀
Kurtis genuinely only been to tourist areas in London as people will just bump in to you to get past. One of my favourite things about going to London is people just go
as a brit thank you for saying that about the food, i hate that other countries have that stereotype of us. maybe british food in like the olden days was bad but now there are so many different cultural influences etc. our food is amazing :)
Also in many states in the US, servers literally don’t get paid a wage at all, that’s why you HAVE TO TIP
Thank god you said it dude. When I became an adult and even before that, I thought raves were dumb. Yea, acid and shrooms r cool, but raves are a whole other level of like danger stress and or boredom all rolled in one.
Living in London I've noticed every Londoner either walks infuriatingly slow, or so fast that we have to weave in-between everyone else. It's a nightmare trying walk at my natural pace around any busy places in London.
as someone from the english midlands, london to me is literally so fast paced i can’t believe u think it’s slow
I saw a tik tok that stiched the landlord video with just a minute of silence and a picture of someone being guillotined, loved it
hearing how Kurtis feels about London is so strange as someone from England. I moved to London for uni and I had to get used to how fast paced London is to the point where I had severe anxiety about going into the city. I braced myself every single time I went out. Everyone must be sprinting everywhere all the time in Toronto
My dad and his brother are twins and whenever we meet up they are wearing something at least mildly similar without knowing before what the other one will wear, just a funny thing i noticed
I watch this podcast every single week and I just gotta say, you were specially funny in this one lmao
This episode dropped just in time for me to conk tf out while listening to it 🤭
This dude kinda looks like that kurtis Conner guy?? I wonder if they are twins🤔
the rule on tipping has *always* been that you dont need to tip the proprietor / owner of the business. if your "business" is owning my home then youre the proprietor and if anyones getting tipped it should be your tenants that would basically qualify as your "employees" if you wanna look at yourself as a "boss"
as a #TWIN I completely agree and I think it needs to be spoken on more.
I absolutely love it when Kurtis has an attitude, it legitimately cracks me the fuck up every time.
Dressing the same might have been an accident if they don't live together. Me and my identical twin live on different coasts and we still have a couple shirts that we both bought without knowing the other bought it as well. Sometimes we'll Skype and we'll both accidentally be wearing the exact same outfit with little variations. It used to cause fights in highschool when we lived together because sometimes we'd both come out of our rooms dressed exactly the same. Being an identical twin is weird. 🤷♀️
when you were talking about the stinking walls that reminded me of when I would make full on eye contact with mice that lived under my bed and heard scratching in my A/C units. I told the landlord about it and they gaslit me until I thought I was hallucinating. They did nothing until there was blood dripping down the wall from the A/C unit, and even then, they thought it was my fault. Turns out a pregnant mouse gave birth in my A/C unit and when they finally took the A/C unit off the wall three grown men screamed bloody murder when they saw the afterbirth, shit, and piss that I had been breathing.
I really do love this podcast with all of my heart 😭🤚
land lord receives call about hole in floor*
shows up*
"i don't see any hole. What are you talking about??"
Kurtis- we all love your videos. Every single one, no matter what. Don’t be too harsh on yourself :) (easier said than done, i know.) it’s very apparent how much effort you put into everything you do because it always turns out so fucking hilarious.
love u bro. very excited for later-this-year content :D
“what are we gonna dew layta-“ “WHATRE YOU DEWIN RIGHT NOW?”
When i was a kid and me and my mom were moving into a condo on our SECOND DAY living there the landlords were all ready showing the place to other people. When the people would come to look at the place they would ask if we were moving out, imagine their surprise when they found out we are moving in.
kurtis should change his name to “kurtniss everdeen”
My man Kurt always got my back with these podcasts/videos :)
Throwback to when I spent $1000 a month to rent a basement bedroom in Ottawa, and the landlord not only slapped drippy white paint over black mold but ALSO A BUNCH OF DEAD ANTS when I asked her to fix the mold and bug problems. And honestly if we’re being real where do you get off charging someone to live in Ottawa, on a philosophical level. I haven’t seen grass since Thanksgiving.
As a born and bred Londoner Kurtis, it’s the tourists that saunter. And that’s all central London is 😂
As an ex-Londoner I ate better there than in Canada bc there was so much more choice for me as a veg, also there are way more types of cuisines bc its such a big city. And then Londoners walking slow, this is the first time I've heard this usually Londoners complain about how slow tourists walk 😂 (airport is a different thing) but I'm glad everyone has different experiences
Where in Canada? Because in Montréal we have lots of different cuisines.
@@Mama_Bear524 I'm not saying we don't have lots of cuisines here 😭
kurtis is so chaotic this week lmfaooo
The landlord at the current place I'm at threatened to evict us because our pipes broke (ruining all our pantry food), and the other tenants were complaining about the smell. Keep in mind, we reported it, and they didn't do anything for days, and only got maintenance to fix it after threatening to evict us for the issue THEY didn't solve.
We also have to remember that there's a difference between tiping 5$ to someone who's barely paid enough to live and tiping 200$ to someone who already makes more money in a day than you even make in a month
I was listening to this while doing my makeup and when he got to the covid not being real part, my eyes sprung open😭
We tip because servers and biristas don’t make a living wage. We’re paying your fucking mortgage buddy you’re ok
you know what. we should start tipping landlords, but lets make it a shitty 2-3$ tip. 😌give ‘em the ol “the service wasn’t very good” treatment
kurtis the new intro is so good!! i do a little dance every time
silly in the shower KILLED ME
If a landlord was like,"No, tip?" I would actually channel Andrew "Dice" Clay. " I gotcha tip right here...Oh!!"
Sameeeee. Airports suck because I hate the pre gate shit so bad. Once I'm in front of my gate, you can delay my ass. That's a vacation. I got my books, journals, pens, games, etc. Also tmi, but before I am officially at my gate, all bs done, my stomach turns like a roller coaster. Anyway, thank you for still posting, even with the sniffles.
The ‘’tabarnack’’ took me out 💀😭😂
Kurtis being gaslit by TSA is the funniest shit
kurt ruthlessly roasting the landlord made my day
I had the EXACT same experience at Heathrow. Everyone’s bag had to be looked through and there was a huge line. And there was one person looking at all the bags across like 4 different lines and TAKING THEIR SWEET TIME
11:40 Just you wait until you’re in Australia (especially here in Perth) 🇦🇺 It’s like time doesn’t exist here sometimes 😂 Lucky we have way less people than London! Can’t wait to support you at the live show, and hear about your experience up until then
i just woke up from my literal sleep to hear you trash talking raves and I don’t know if I can continue to live
that french was so funny but so accurate haha
Having lived in London for almost 6 years now, I can confirm that the slow ones are most likely tourists. People who actually live there are pretty much always in a rush and it's kind of an ongoing thing for Londoners to get annoyed at them (me included). The amount of times I had to walk around people but couldn't because they were all too slow.... ahh so annoying. But really glad you enjoyed your time here :)
PS: So happy for Brendan Fraser! Completely deserved!
