This whole CouchGate thing is so bizarre to me. In Sydney, its very normal for high-income people leave their furniture out on the curb after they buy new stuff. And that's really useful for low-income folk and people just moving out. Maybe it's just because I grew up in a shit neighbourhood, but scavenging furniture from the rich folk was how you got your house furnished lmao
It's not that it doesn't happen in the US, it's that enough people are bed bug averse enough to create a lot of online argument about it. And something like this couch, a big hunk of upholstery that looks harder than not to examine for evidence of bed bugs, would be an item many people would skip. That plus it having gotten rained on. Mildew/mold is no fun either and although they cleaned it, it just doesn't look like something you can actually reliably fully clean.
Yeah I'm from New Zealand and I completely agree. I grew up under the poverty line and we absolutely took stuff off the sidewalk and took it home. Especially wooden stuff cos that can be cleaned up, sanded etc easily. All our furniture was from a second-hand shop, side of road or hand-me-downs from family, neighbours etc. We never had a brand new couch my whole life in fact. But if this girl didn't pick up this couch it would've ended up in the landfill, how is that better? I feel like if you fumigated and steam cleaned it that would be pretty safe but I'm not a bed-bug expert.
@@eleanorelizhat and like.....she didn't need it. It's not like she's a poor person looking for a place to sit and got lucky. Homegirl had a perfectly good, not stained/ripped up couch that she did who knows what with for a dirty ugly couch, because its "higher value". I guess because I grew up disadvantaged I just don't understand why you would get rid of a good couch for a dirty one because it would have cost a lot if you got it new. The other one fit with her home better too. It's her life I guess 🤷🏾♀️. Some people are just materialistic.
It’s common in America too but you do wanna be careful about any fabric items you take from the streets my grandpa always told me that he’d rather me rip off the upholstery on an antique before I bring it inside off the street. Easier for him to redo upholstery than to get rid of bedbugs. Bedbugs and the like are really bad and difficult to get rid of so upholstery has a really big stigma because of that when you get it off the road.
If Jordan ever dies and gets replaced with a lookalike, we'll all know as soon as he makes the inevitable mistake of sitting up straight, violating every belief and value of the original Jordan
Personally, I love all the wonderful sitting positions Jordan cycles thru in an episode. Every time I look up from my crochet project and see him, I’ll go, “Heh heh, I do that.”
As someone who lives next to and works in a rich neighborhood I can assure you rich people give things away that could easily be sold for a lot. There's this thing called dumping day where people put out their big things that the garbage truck won't take and you would be surprised the literal antiques you can find
Yep lol my mom’s church is full of rich people & she always tips me off when it’s donation day so my broke ass can go raid their shit. They really be throwing anything out.
Also happens so much in college towns and around dorms. Also the other Side of it is sometimes people can’t fit stuff in their car to go home for the summer so they have no choice but to throw things out since it would cost more to store it somewhere then to buy new stuff.
@@ravenpotter3 yeah I'm in college and my friends who live right next to found a perfectly good playstation (not sure the #) in the trash once-- I think I'm remembering that correctly. I think one of us took it
My mom’s cousin moved into a neighborhood that has since become extremely expensive (when she bought it it was reasonable, 15-20 yrs ago) and I’ve seen 1950s style stoves/ovens on the curb for trash pickup that people would die for to restore
I just got an allergy panel done today because I’ve been having weird eye swelling. Happy to hear that I’m not the only one who thinks it’s kinda weird how they basically say “oh you wanna know what you’re allergic to? Let’s fuck around and find out”
I've had severe allergies since I was young and I actually never thought about how weird it is 😭 now I know that I'm allergic to a bunch of things I will probably never encounter in life (several types of trees, grass, and mold)
@@bee.ok666 the mold part is important if you're looking for a house or apartment, you need to pay extra attention to the possibility of mold that the owners just haven't noticed (water damage) or are hiding etc
I went to an allergist to see if they could clear me on other nuts that weren’t peanuts. Being extremely deathly allergic it was always better safe than sorry + cross contamination sucks. Had a major hive and swelling issue from a cookie dough Fiber one brownie of all things because of peanut contamination The allergist goes “oh you’re fine to try all these nuts at home so long as they’re not cross contaminated and do a little bit at a time - but if you think you need to do a clinic test come call us” It took 3 weeks of almond dosing until I realized oh I was feeling sick because of the almonds and not my sinuses when the room started to spin around lol - just normal things
I love how random things become a part of the Sad Boyz Lexicon. I remember the first pod I watched after the “pussy facing the world” thing, and being so damn excited when I realized they thought like me, and were about to use the phrase again.
@@youyeedyourlasthaw this is what AI should be used for. “ChatGPT, draw dotted lines on this picture, and generate misogynistic text that sounds deep, but means nothing.” We unleash the bot to train itself on how people are talking about women today, and generate, like, 100 images so we can laugh, cry, and preserve the culture for posterity.

i read an essay for a college english class that was written by a guy who was homeless for a time, and he said that all the unhoused people knew to dumpster dive in rich neighborhoods (especially rich college neighborhoods) bc the rich ppl would throw out perfectly good food, furniture, whatever the fuck just because they can afford to get new stuff like it's nothing.
Yeah, I mean, everyone is saying that it has to be because of bedbugs, but people who have enough money to buy 8k couches probably aren't gonna bother fixing it because they don't care? When it gets damaged enough, just throw it out and get a new one. Like not saying it DOESN'T have bedbugs or anything, but just saying that people will throw out furniture for stains or tears and get something new often if they have the money and don't wanna bother fixing it. Like she's not completely off for assuming that. (I don't live in that area or state or anything so I'm not gonna act like I know anything about it.) It is odd to me that people are freaking out like this. Like, yeah, it's a risk, but when people are poor enough and are willing to risk it, this isn't that uncommon?
This is known knowledge to anyone who is like, aware of the economy of upcycling and antique furniture at all. Most people with a problem are just reactionarily going "EwWWW used couch!" and then "haha cum. She's so stupid!"
The couch saga was hilarious as someone that thrifts and gets furniture from rich areas. I haven’t picked up a couch of the side in years now, so I wouldn’t recommend it cuz of weather and humidity. But picking up wood/metal furniture from rich neighborhoods where they’re just leaving it on the curb for the dumpster next day. You can even talk to the owner usually and ask why they’re getting rid of it! The reason is usually just taste! And new decor! They’re rich! Damn. And now poor me can pick up a new outdoor wood patio set :)
I don't understand why these people would rather these things go to the dump instead of just giving it away for free or even selling it at a discounted price?
For sure! Stuff like hard furniture is perfectly fine but i would be more weary about soft furniture like couches bc of it absorbing moisture and dirt. I would definitely get it professionally cleaned at the very least. Sometimes i see some of the prettiest cabinets on the street but cant take them bc i cant carry them or dont have space. I wish i lived near wealthier places so i could pick up free furniture 😩
@@blueismylove3128 lol well if the same wealthy people get mad at having to reschedule furniture delivery even tho they’re home all day? Do you think they care about where it goes when they don’t like it? //nothing on you it’s just I work w ppl like this, “my husband ordered the wrong grill for our summer house, now I have to call them back to pick it up 😪😥 it’s cutting into my retail therapy”
“The full bed bug life-cycle process can take as little as 5 weeks and as long as 4-6 months.” She’s dead wrong. And having had bed bugs TWICE! (Once from them coming from my neighbors and once I moved into a rental with them) she’s wild for saying that she can tell who has bedbugs but I pray that she doesn’t get bed bugs bc it’s really horrible and I’m paranoid bc of it. Makes my skin crawl just thinking about what I had to go through, cleaning every freaking crack and crevice of my room and then having tape around my bed posts to be able to see if they were coming back. 😅
Got them my first year at college and omg the nightmares it gave me. I didn't notice what was wrong until I was covered in bites. Literally couldn't stand looking at any part if my body for months. Even after I left campus and came home that paranoia never left that I brought them with me
It would be nice if we are all proven wrong. We all know she picked it up because she was blinded by the values of the couch; not because she was in desperate need of a new couch and couldn't afford a decent one.
@@taylorl7516 He lives with a different Ethan LOL but I get where you would mix them up! They’re both blonde too haha. The other Ethan is ethanisonline
Rich people really do replace their furniture with surprising frequency. I had some friends pick up a $7000 couch and recliner set for free bc the owner wanted that set in a different color so he gave it away. It's pretty wild lol
Yeah, I have an office chair that was at least a couple hundred dollars but the rich couple who sold it to us for $50 didn't need it anymore because they just felt like getting a new one. I can't tell if it was sat in even once by the time we got it lol it was completely brand new
Comedians hold the mic like that because most open mics are on really old beat up equipment and if you dont the the cord can lose connection or fall out. then it just becomes a habit lol
had a bedbug scare in september last year because my sister brought home old books. the bedbugs were contained to her room and were killed off swiftly, luckily (whole house got sprayed). but when we initially all checked each of our rooms, i learned that the large amount of carpet beetles that were living in my room had chosen to infest my bed between washes, and their larvae was crawling all over my stuff. i got to take neat photos of them with a microscopic camera, but it was pretty hellish for me because i have ocd. as someone who grew up in a house that had a cockroach, spider, tick, and harvestman infestation, i was kinda worried the infestation would get to the same severity as my previous experience, but it wasn't, which was very relieving.... after a while, the carpet beetles were completely gone. this happened the same week that a skunk had sprayed against our house and we had to leave for a couple hours because the smell was so acrid. my sister has also, on separate occasions, brought home two whole couches that she has seen on the side of the road in the area just because she likes how they have a "grandma vibe"
Dude I was going to rely to this comment asking how I could know if I have carpet beetles because I hate bugs in my room and then I remembered 2 weeks ago I ripped out my carpet and was all up in that and I probably would’ve noticed something. I just thought it was funny that I was asking about carpet beetles and do in fact lack a carpet.
@@Unfunnyham they're colloquially called carpet beetles because they are commonly found in carpets, but they like all kinds of material. i'd found some burrowed in an old stuffed animal before. not having a carpet doesn't ensure you won't have them, HOWEVER it would help a lot!
The question "What are you doing here?" to someone at the grocery store is so funny to me. I can't tell if it implies that they don't think UA-camrs leave their house or that they think UA-camrs have their own private communities and grocery stores, but both implications are hilarious.
wait yall always surprise me by making me feel so seen with my health complications LMAO first i learned that jarvis and i took the same anxiety/adhd meds for similar symptoms and now i've learned the name of those lil allergy hives i'd get growing up. thanks for helping me and my childhood quarterly allergy tests feel cool and relatable
I have to say, in the area I'm from leaving furniture on the curb, usually overnight or with a free sign, is pretty common. We always check everything for bugs and cockroaches and disinfect them when you get home. It's sort of a common courtesy to not put anything out that is infested. It's pretty much like selling it in a garage sale but if you don't want to bother selling it. It's usually cheap old stuff as well, and using things like filing cabinets, bookshelves, and chairs, but we have gotten a loveseat once. Couches like this or the loveseat take a lot more checking and cleaning of course, but growing up pretty poor this method was really nice. We'd been using a wooden kitchen table chair at our computer desk, but my sister and I found an old office chair that we still use today. It was old, leaned left, and had duct tape over the rips, so the owner most likely bought a new one and knew the DI probably wouldn't have accepted it. I'm sure this is probably less applicable in bigger cities, so I don't think I'd take anything that has cushioning or crevasses I can't directly see into, and if it's something that can hold water and it's raining I probably also wouldn't take it. My biggest issue with this story is A. She didn't seem to check it at all, and doing this in the middle of the day makes it hard to tell if it was actually being donated (though the father picking it up later makes it seem like it had likely been there for a few hours). and B. taking it when she was already rich/well off. If you can pretty easily afford the thing on the street, leave it for someone who can't. The memes and commentary are still great tho, and I know even what we do carries some risk, but free office chairs and shelves can be hard to pass up when your in a tight spot 😅
I've never heard anyone describe that swelling of the joints from inflammation so perfectly like Jarvis. I had that too when I was a kid, my go to expression is that the back of my knees would swell to the size of an apple. That was a lovely moment I didn't know I needed.
Jarvis seems like such a natural at leading conversation in sad boyz. It seems like he’s able to always put guests at ease. And Jordan is always great too ofc.
Yall are aware you can clean stuff and some stains don't come out right?? 😭😭 Things like ink, certain wines, paint, etc, they don't make something dirty. They just make it look "unclean" to people who are obsessed with having everything be perfect. Guys come on nowwww Dirty, clean, neat, and tidy, are not mutually opposite!
It sounds like she has an idea of the risks of taking soft furnishings from the street and was willing to take them for a sofa she really likes. If something goes wrong and she later regrets bringing it in, that's her situation to learn from. As usual, no need for the internet to get so riled up.
I have never seen someone public say something about chronic urticaria before. I had CU for 4 years, a lot of the time from my scalp to the bottoms of my feet, before they just literally disappeared one day. No one ever knew why I had them or why they went away. The not knowing was hands down the worst part. I still have a lot of anxiety around 1. Any time I have a rash or bug bite and 2. Doctor visits from all the appointments I had where they just told me they couldn’t do anything other than give me more steroids, and then gave me a $500 medical bill. I know you felt like it sounded gross, but I really appreciate you speaking up about it!
having autoimmune skin disorders is so hard to talk about with people that don't have them. when he talked about the knee swelling I instantly could relate (i have eczema but sometimes the swelling gets into my joints and it's hard to bend them). and them talking about having to stay home from school 😢 I still get stressed when i have to call out of work because of a bad break out 😢😢
duuuude, my aunt gave me like 2 garbage bags full of mcdonalds surprise pokemon toys that came w pokeballs and everything. they all had some sort of interactive aspect like the clefable dreidel lmao. like rhyhorn shot out of another plastic thing w this button mechanism, etc. i was like 8 so i opened literally all of them. not a single one left untouched. refuse to regret it tbh. was fun asf
Gosh, I just started listening to this ep, and the "side ass" comment is just incredible 😂 honestly, wherever u go, there's too much side ass, you wouldn't even be able to go anywhere without side ass, so side ass dominates the world and it's the absolute truth.
It makes me so happy to know I’m not the only peanut allergy person whose like “I’ll just take a little bite and i can tell after a few minutes” cuz it stresses people out every time lolll
ive eaten the spiderverse burger like 3 times and its actually good, also the bun is dyed with beet juice, and the sesame seeds are black instead of white, its good okay im a big fan
Jordan really let the Brit out with the way he said “you know what i mean” at the start, there. Very “can i pull you for a chat”, “whats your type”, “he has good banter”.. yeah.
honestly like good for her tho she doesnt have to be so sassy about it lol. i have a chair i got from the street, granted it prob didnt cost 8k. had it for a year or so, no problems, but it is a risk you gotta take if you want free furniture. i think mine was thrown out because the height adjuster is broken, otherwise its good. couches are probably riskier, but. i feel like tiktok always makes a huge deal out of stuff for no reason. i dont think its some randoms job to tell people like 'btw this is risky so dont do it but im doing it'. idk
Wow, I never knew someone struggles with the same immuno disorder that I do! it feels very validating to see a youtuber I like struggle with chronic uticaria too :) thank you jarvis
This peanut test is wild. Basically, going "hey, we're gonna put you into anaphylaxis" is actually crazy since anaphylaxis can literally change your taste preferences, your hair texture (curly to straight for example), and so many other things after you experience it. It's not like the most common, but it's definitely a thing and wild to ask people to do.
That's not actually true though is it? Anaphylaxis could most likely cause taste aversions, if you get it while eating something you might start to avoid food related to what you got the allergic shock to, and where exactly did you hear that your hair can change texture? What's the relation between physical hair structure and anaphylaxis exaxtly?
27:08 I actually tried the new meal and unironically love the red bun. Its sweet and tastes just like a King's Hawaiian roll. And the sundae is surprisingly good too
I was so high when I met Danny Gonzalez at Chipotle that I told him that I had willed it to happen. I was on a business trip and had just told my sister "Oh I think Danny Gonzalez lives near here." And then I found him at the Chipotle next to my hotel. Thank you to Danny for being so cool about it.
Idk what it is about people named Ethan and bleaching their hair, but Ethan Nestor is absolutely not the first one to do it nor the last. I knew an Ethan in grade school with naturally white hair and there’s ethanisonline with bleached hair
I've had chronic hives for about 2.5 years now. They're mostly caused by stress but get worse with heat. Doctors are just like "idk keep going to therapy"
Maybe they meant to say underneath-the-ass shot🤷🏼♀️😂…..also, as a New Yorker(born & raised) and I would NEVER just bring in anything from outside no matter how long it was in the rain! That’s nasty AF! Also, this couch dilemma reminds me of the Big Bang Theory episode when Penny found a couch and it had a rodent!
As someone who grew up in an area where "Garbage Picking" was a super normal thing, like furniture and things left on the curb with the expectation that someone who needs it more will come take it and clean it and use it, i truly dont understand couch gate, like so much of the furniture i had growing up started as someone elses trash that we picked up took home and cleaned. Bed Bugs are awful for sure, but theres ways you can check for bed bugs before you put the furniture in your home, OP didnt seem to know what she was doing but her dad and sister certainly did and they scrubbed it clean i dont understand the issue
@@lucilleballs2291 Are you Australian? I just googled and it seems like all schools have this rule but there is some debate if it actually minimizes reactions. In my experience, nobody ever had one.
I had chronic hives for two straight years, and the little countries description is so accurate. They were everywhere. I looked crazy for two years and we have no idea what triggered it. Then one day they were just gone.
I once lived in student apartment with issues furniture. They accidentally gave us an extra mattress and then asked us to put outside for them to pick up. Within days it was unrecognizable. Squirrels and birds pried it open and pulled the stuffing out, it got rained on, pressure washed, mud, dirt. When it fell over and sat in front of the landing people would have smoke breaks on it, jump on it, hang out on and get high. It was disgusting. After weeks we got maintenance to remove it and they ended up tossing it because of how bad it got.
No joke, right as the fedora conversation was happening, two people who looked like they were in the target demographic for Roblox walked by me with fedoras on. You can’t make this stuff up, folks. 👏🏻
The Sad Boyz sit the way my friends and I sit but I appreciate them being the guinea pigs to how people might react to that if I were to ever start a UA-cam podcast
When you guys were talking about going back to the gym, i started thinking about swimming, since i havent swam for a few weeks and am starting to see the evidence my hard work fade. But then i remembered that i cant swim or work out or even walk because I'm injured. This podcast really lives up to its name!
I feel jarvis on the "coming to vhs soon" vibe. I've been recollecting comics I had in the late 90s. It's nice to reread heroes reborn and superman blue but the ads really boost my nostalgia. Seeing an ad for the upcoming Blade movie (1998) or the old "tobacco is whacko" campaign really brings me back
I really appreciate this podcast. Also at around 3:50 - Jordan's hand looks independent (like thing on Addam's family) because his arm is hidden behind the couch and the shot is a little tighter/doesn't show him. No problem with it, just thought it was funny with all the dissecting of the sitting positions
I've taken furniture off the curb. You just look for signs of bed bugs and then I have a big front porch where I can clean the hell out of if before it even goes inside.
POV: Jarvis shows his friends Jordan and Ethan his cool stuff during their play date/indoor recess (aka: people with adhd when they are hanging with friends(aka me))
as a former fast food employee: those burger king employees probably told you so much info because they were afraid you'd yell at them if they didn't keep talking. Legit it's like a thing that happens to everyone, and often employees aren't told enough information to answer questions in the first place so you get the same rumors they hear in hopes you'll be nice.
I will say, I salvaged some decent stuff during college dorm moveouts. People tend to toss stuff out of sheer convenience instead of packing it, especially if they're well off
When my family went thru my grandfathers stuff after he died, i ended up getting a ton of sealed happy meal toys (some still in the original printed paper bag with the little games or whatever on it) from the late 90s and early 00s. I absolutely love them. My grandpa was raised by a woman raised in the Depression so the whole family has a bit of that "mild hoarder" tendency. Not great when having to sort thru their stuff,but awesome for me who likes old magazines and toys, especially since they're all in really good condition for their age.
@@chevvy427 thanks for the tip. I am a bit confused tho, what would be living in books? And also I don't have a sister lol I doubt anything would have been in them, as he kept all the books indoors in closed cabinets, and all were in good shape (no damage beyond simple age and use, definitely no bug/mouse damage)
@@jvseventeen I'm sorry, there was another comment about somebody's sister bringing bedbugs home in an old book-- I have no clue how I ended up replying on your comment instead!
I have picked up a genuine Afghan rug outside my old apartment - it had been rained on too haha. My partner and I took it to a self serve car wash and power washed that hoe for like 20 minutes straight and then I HAND scrubbed it and used a wet-dry shop vac on it. It doesn’t look new, but it’s the most treasured piece in our home and we found and cleaned it together ❤️
We also picked up a swivel chair outside my apartment and did the same. Both were left outside for about a week. I’ll take the chance of bed bugs at my own risk. I can’t believe all these bourgeoise bitches can’t handle getting shit for free at one’s own risk loool
One time I saw a pop-it in the middle of a parking lot and I took it home and washed it. Also another time I saw a reusable bag floating across a parking lot in the wind, and I took it and started using it. I honestly love getting stuff like that, so I think the problem with the couch is just that the stakes are kind of high. But, it's totally possible that the couch is just fine.
Seeing that Clefable spin mechanism just unlocked a memory of some happy meal toy that I loved so much. I don’t even know what the toy was of, I just remember the spinning was so amazing to me.
I have some of those pokemon toys, the ones I remember clearly are the gengar spinning top and a pikachu stapler? I remember having a tape dispenser but I have no clue where it went. I also had the poliwag one as well, no clue where that went either. We have so much random pokemon toys lol
on the topic of separate tables for peanut allergies, in elementary school there was a kid who was deathly allergic to peanuts but there wasn’t a table separate so if someone brought peanuts they would just sit at another. we had assigned seats by our last names and this girl hated the peanut kid so much that she brought a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every day so she wouldn’t have to sit at the same table as him
Having a bed bug infestation was one of the worst traumas I experienced in my life. My family is low income so just the cost of extermination was enough to cause serious damage. I had to go through my freshman - junior years of high school unable to go to friends houses out of fear of contamination, unable to have friends come over, all my furniture packed away and my clothes in trash bags, routine bug checks, and so much more. My mental health took a terrible decline and my obsessive and paranoid symptoms got so much worse. I STILL have terrible fears of bed bugs even after having not seen one in the house for a long time now. I am still paranoid. Bed bugs f****** suck, especially if you are low income.
Living in NY it's a very normal thing for people to "adopt" furniture on the street, and also to leave out furniture & stuff you don't want anymore for someone else to take. Yes sometimes it requires more than a little wash down, but this is not new. I don't know why people are so pressed about this couch in particular but yes, sometimes when someone takes home trash furniture it can have really bad consequences and that risk is up to the individual who wants the item, and this individual decided to take that risk. We're not all a part of that decision
33:16 my friend got a happy meal like a couple months ago and the toy was made of paper and it was really hard to put together and we were so confused as to how they expected children to put it together
30:18 insight into this as a former starbucks employee- to my knowledge some of this is the lingering impact of covid on shipping and manufacturing. the distributing warehouses have been super congested, so even if we were putting in the orders for low stock items, it didn't guarantee we were actually going to receive those goods on restock days. because of this we would just have to use whatever it was we had on hand until it was gone, and then just hope that we'd actually receive the things we ordered in the next shipment. since it's happening across the board to all locations, we also couldn't guarantee to customers which stores might have what if came to things like the availability of certain syrup flavors. i can't say for sure that's the reason burger king is struggling, but it sounds very close to what we were dealing with
Personally, I think that this podcast has just the right amount of sideass
I'd argue for more
a perfect amount
of sideass in this podcast
the haters are wrong
I felt I was left waiting for more but never got more, definitely could turn the amount up a few notches.

There's this thing called dumping day where people put out their big things that the garbage truck won't take and you would be surprised the literal antiques you can find

Yep lol my mom’s church is full of rich people & she always tips me off when it’s donation day so my broke ass can go raid their shit. They really be throwing anything out.
Also happens so much in college towns and around dorms. Also the other Side of it is sometimes people can’t fit stuff in their car to go home for the summer so they have no choice but to throw things out since it would cost more to store it somewhere then to buy new stuff.
@@ravenpotter3 yeah I'm in college and my friends who live right next to found a perfectly good playstation (not sure the #) in the trash once-- I think I'm remembering that correctly. I think one of us took it
My mom’s cousin moved into a neighborhood that has since become extremely expensive (when she bought it it was reasonable, 15-20 yrs ago) and I’ve seen 1950s style stoves/ovens on the curb for trash pickup that people would die for to restore
I just got an allergy panel done today because I’ve been having weird eye swelling. Happy to hear that I’m not the only one who thinks it’s kinda weird how they basically say “oh you wanna know what you’re allergic to? Let’s fuck around and find out”
Oh not fun, I hope you find out what's up
I had an allergy panel a couple years ago and it was awful, I hope you find the answer ❤️
I've had severe allergies since I was young and I actually never thought about how weird it is 😭
now I know that I'm allergic to a bunch of things I will probably never encounter in life (several types of trees, grass, and mold)
@@bee.ok666 the mold part is important if you're looking for a house or apartment, you need to pay extra attention to the possibility of mold that the owners just haven't noticed (water damage) or are hiding etc
I went to an allergist to see if they could clear me on other nuts that weren’t peanuts. Being extremely deathly allergic it was always better safe than sorry + cross contamination sucks. Had a major hive and swelling issue from a cookie dough Fiber one brownie of all things because of peanut contamination
The allergist goes “oh you’re fine to try all these nuts at home so long as they’re not cross contaminated and do a little bit at a time - but if you think you need to do a clinic test come call us”
It took 3 weeks of almond dosing until I realized oh I was feeling sick because of the almonds and not my sinuses when the room started to spin around lol - just normal things
I love how random things become a part of the Sad Boyz Lexicon. I remember the first pod I watched after the “pussy facing the world” thing, and being so damn excited when I realized they thought like me, and were about to use the phrase again.
need more of those pictures with the dotted lines tbh
@@youyeedyourlasthaw this is what AI should be used for. “ChatGPT, draw dotted lines on this picture, and generate misogynistic text that sounds deep, but means nothing.”
We unleash the bot to train itself on how people are talking about women today, and generate, like, 100 images so we can laugh, cry, and preserve the culture for posterity.
Every year deserves a “pussy facing the world” moment.
“I’ll SHOW you why it has a butt plug!” the way he said this with joy
i read an essay for a college english class that was written by a guy who was homeless for a time, and he said that all the unhoused people knew to dumpster dive in rich neighborhoods (especially rich college neighborhoods) bc the rich ppl would throw out perfectly good food, furniture, whatever the fuck just because they can afford to get new stuff like it's nothing.
Yeah, I mean, everyone is saying that it has to be because of bedbugs, but people who have enough money to buy 8k couches probably aren't gonna bother fixing it because they don't care? When it gets damaged enough, just throw it out and get a new one.
Like not saying it DOESN'T have bedbugs or anything, but just saying that people will throw out furniture for stains or tears and get something new often if they have the money and don't wanna bother fixing it. Like she's not completely off for assuming that. (I don't live in that area or state or anything so I'm not gonna act like I know anything about it.)
It is odd to me that people are freaking out like this. Like, yeah, it's a risk, but when people are poor enough and are willing to risk it, this isn't that uncommon?
This is known knowledge to anyone who is like, aware of the economy of upcycling and antique furniture at all. Most people with a problem are just reactionarily going "EwWWW used couch!" and then "haha cum. She's so stupid!"
@@kiralonely these were my exact thoughts too!
The couch saga was hilarious as someone that thrifts and gets furniture from rich areas. I haven’t picked up a couch of the side in years now, so I wouldn’t recommend it cuz of weather and humidity. But picking up wood/metal furniture from rich neighborhoods where they’re just leaving it on the curb for the dumpster next day. You can even talk to the owner usually and ask why they’re getting rid of it! The reason is usually just taste! And new decor! They’re rich! Damn. And now poor me can pick up a new outdoor wood patio set :)
Very nice to see Ethan as a guest!!! Lovely episode guys 🎀
I don't understand why these people would rather these things go to the dump instead of just giving it away for free or even selling it at a discounted price?
I think it's the upholstery thing. Bedbugs are insanely hard to get rid of and also roaches.
For sure! Stuff like hard furniture is perfectly fine but i would be more weary about soft furniture like couches bc of it absorbing moisture and dirt. I would definitely get it professionally cleaned at the very least. Sometimes i see some of the prettiest cabinets on the street but cant take them bc i cant carry them or dont have space. I wish i lived near wealthier places so i could pick up free furniture 😩
@@blueismylove3128 lol well if the same wealthy people get mad at having to reschedule furniture delivery even tho they’re home all day? Do you think they care about where it goes when they don’t like it? //nothing on you it’s just I work w ppl like this, “my husband ordered the wrong grill for our summer house, now I have to call them back to pick it up 😪😥 it’s cutting into my retail therapy”
this episode had me laughing so hard I pissed all over my couch! I had to throw it out on the sidewalk, thanks a lot guys ☹️
thrift flip material 😻😻😻
I ate it.
underrated comment
The fact there is just a picture of Jarvis on the table is so beautiful
Wtf I got all the way to the end and didn't notice until I read this 😂
them all engaging and having fun with one of Jarvis’ hobbies/interests like pokemon is so cute
it’s such a green flag omfg
“The full bed bug life-cycle process can take as little as 5 weeks and as long as 4-6 months.” She’s dead wrong. And having had bed bugs TWICE! (Once from them coming from my neighbors and once I moved into a rental with them) she’s wild for saying that she can tell who has bedbugs but I pray that she doesn’t get bed bugs bc it’s really horrible and I’m paranoid bc of it. Makes my skin crawl just thinking about what I had to go through, cleaning every freaking crack and crevice of my room and then having tape around my bed posts to be able to see if they were coming back. 😅
They're a nightmare. I feel you.
They can live for like, 2 years without eating. You have to kill them.
Yep, had them too and I'm extremely paranoid as well. I was in hell when I had them from an upstairs neighbor. I couldn't sleep for shit.
Got them my first year at college and omg the nightmares it gave me. I didn't notice what was wrong until I was covered in bites. Literally couldn't stand looking at any part if my body for months. Even after I left campus and came home that paranoia never left that I brought them with me
i'm sure they just kept reproducing lol i doubt it was the same ones the whole time
It would be nice if we are all proven wrong. We all know she picked it up because she was blinded by the values of the couch; not because she was in desperate need of a new couch and couldn't afford a decent one.
These are people I didn’t expect to see interacting lol but I’m glad they’ve been hanging out! Can’t wait to watch the episode
im pretty sure jordan and ethan literally live together lol
@@taylorl7516 He lives with a different Ethan LOL but I get where you would mix them up! They’re both blonde too haha. The other Ethan is ethanisonline
@@weedlechu OHHH omg im dumb lol
@@weedlechu the fact that he knows two blonde Ethan’s is so funny
Side ass facing the world, crotch shame, the green lines on this podcast would go crazy
XD XD XD please! I want to see that...
personally, i get a new couch every two years to maximize potential sideass angles
Rich people really do replace their furniture with surprising frequency. I had some friends pick up a $7000 couch and recliner set for free bc the owner wanted that set in a different color so he gave it away. It's pretty wild lol
Yeah, I have an office chair that was at least a couple hundred dollars but the rich couple who sold it to us for $50 didn't need it anymore because they just felt like getting a new one. I can't tell if it was sat in even once by the time we got it lol it was completely brand new
Comedians hold the mic like that because most open mics are on really old beat up equipment and if you dont the the cord can lose connection or fall out. then it just becomes a habit lol
oh my god ethan's whole experience of hating halloween and having his own table and feeling different is so unbelievably relatable
everytime you guys said ethan I kept looking up to see who was calling for me
anyways 10/10 episode, could use more sideass
had a bedbug scare in september last year because my sister brought home old books. the bedbugs were contained to her room and were killed off swiftly, luckily (whole house got sprayed). but when we initially all checked each of our rooms, i learned that the large amount of carpet beetles that were living in my room had chosen to infest my bed between washes, and their larvae was crawling all over my stuff. i got to take neat photos of them with a microscopic camera, but it was pretty hellish for me because i have ocd.
as someone who grew up in a house that had a cockroach, spider, tick, and harvestman infestation, i was kinda worried the infestation would get to the same severity as my previous experience, but it wasn't, which was very relieving.... after a while, the carpet beetles were completely gone. this happened the same week that a skunk had sprayed against our house and we had to leave for a couple hours because the smell was so acrid. my sister has also, on separate occasions, brought home two whole couches that she has seen on the side of the road in the area just because she likes how they have a "grandma vibe"
that carpet beetle thing is why i hate insects so much aghhhhh
Dude I was going to rely to this comment asking how I could know if I have carpet beetles because I hate bugs in my room and then I remembered 2 weeks ago I ripped out my carpet and was all up in that and I probably would’ve noticed something. I just thought it was funny that I was asking about carpet beetles and do in fact lack a carpet.
@@Unfunnyham they're colloquially called carpet beetles because they are commonly found in carpets, but they like all kinds of material. i'd found some burrowed in an old stuffed animal before. not having a carpet doesn't ensure you won't have them, HOWEVER it would help a lot!
The question "What are you doing here?" to someone at the grocery store is so funny to me. I can't tell if it implies that they don't think UA-camrs leave their house or that they think UA-camrs have their own private communities and grocery stores, but both implications are hilarious.
My new headcanon is that all UA-camrs secretly live on the UA-camr private island.
wait yall always surprise me by making me feel so seen with my health complications LMAO first i learned that jarvis and i took the same anxiety/adhd meds for similar symptoms and now i've learned the name of those lil allergy hives i'd get growing up. thanks for helping me and my childhood quarterly allergy tests feel cool and relatable
I have to say, in the area I'm from leaving furniture on the curb, usually overnight or with a free sign, is pretty common. We always check everything for bugs and cockroaches and disinfect them when you get home. It's sort of a common courtesy to not put anything out that is infested. It's pretty much like selling it in a garage sale but if you don't want to bother selling it. It's usually cheap old stuff as well, and using things like filing cabinets, bookshelves, and chairs, but we have gotten a loveseat once. Couches like this or the loveseat take a lot more checking and cleaning of course, but growing up pretty poor this method was really nice. We'd been using a wooden kitchen table chair at our computer desk, but my sister and I found an old office chair that we still use today. It was old, leaned left, and had duct tape over the rips, so the owner most likely bought a new one and knew the DI probably wouldn't have accepted it. I'm sure this is probably less applicable in bigger cities, so I don't think I'd take anything that has cushioning or crevasses I can't directly see into, and if it's something that can hold water and it's raining I probably also wouldn't take it.
My biggest issue with this story is A. She didn't seem to check it at all, and doing this in the middle of the day makes it hard to tell if it was actually being donated (though the father picking it up later makes it seem like it had likely been there for a few hours). and B. taking it when she was already rich/well off. If you can pretty easily afford the thing on the street, leave it for someone who can't. The memes and commentary are still great tho, and I know even what we do carries some risk, but free office chairs and shelves can be hard to pass up when your in a tight spot 😅
I've never heard anyone describe that swelling of the joints from inflammation so perfectly like Jarvis. I had that too when I was a kid, my go to expression is that the back of my knees would swell to the size of an apple. That was a lovely moment I didn't know I needed.
Jarvis seems like such a natural at leading conversation in sad boyz. It seems like he’s able to always put guests at ease. And Jordan is always great too ofc.
Watching three grown men watch a clefable spin was. Like I felt like I was 10 again and it was just so wholesome
Yall are aware you can clean stuff and some stains don't come out right?? 😭😭 Things like ink, certain wines, paint, etc, they don't make something dirty. They just make it look "unclean" to people who are obsessed with having everything be perfect. Guys come on nowwww
Dirty, clean, neat, and tidy, are not mutually opposite!
literally kinda surprised nobody is talking about that
no LITERALLY
It sounds like she has an idea of the risks of taking soft furnishings from the street and was willing to take them for a sofa she really likes. If something goes wrong and she later regrets bringing it in, that's her situation to learn from. As usual, no need for the internet to get so riled up.
Yep!
I have never seen someone public say something about chronic urticaria before. I had CU for 4 years, a lot of the time from my scalp to the bottoms of my feet, before they just literally disappeared one day. No one ever knew why I had them or why they went away. The not knowing was hands down the worst part. I still have a lot of anxiety around 1. Any time I have a rash or bug bite and 2. Doctor visits from all the appointments I had where they just told me they couldn’t do anything other than give me more steroids, and then gave me a $500 medical bill. I know you felt like it sounded gross, but I really appreciate you speaking up about it!
having autoimmune skin disorders is so hard to talk about with people that don't have them. when he talked about the knee swelling I instantly could relate (i have eczema but sometimes the swelling gets into my joints and it's hard to bend them).
and them talking about having to stay home from school 😢 I still get stressed when i have to call out of work because of a bad break out 😢😢
duuuude, my aunt gave me like 2 garbage bags full of mcdonalds surprise pokemon toys that came w pokeballs and everything. they all had some sort of interactive aspect like the clefable dreidel lmao. like rhyhorn shot out of another plastic thing w this button mechanism, etc. i was like 8 so i opened literally all of them. not a single one left untouched. refuse to regret it tbh. was fun asf
Gosh, I just started listening to this ep, and the "side ass" comment is just incredible 😂 honestly, wherever u go, there's too much side ass, you wouldn't even be able to go anywhere without side ass, so side ass dominates the world and it's the absolute truth.
It makes me so happy to know I’m not the only peanut allergy person whose like “I’ll just take a little bite and i can tell after a few minutes” cuz it stresses people out every time lolll
saaaane 😂
ive eaten the spiderverse burger like 3 times and its actually good, also the bun is dyed with beet juice, and the sesame seeds are black instead of white, its good okay im a big fan
Honeslty when I meet creators and their just chill and like an actual human it’s very calming and nice
I’m gonna be really upset if I get to the end of this pod and they don’t explain the old photo of Jarvis on the table
i have terrible news for you, brianna
I can’t unsee it now. I didn’t even notice it lol
Jordan really let the Brit out with the way he said “you know what i mean” at the start, there. Very “can i pull you for a chat”, “whats your type”, “he has good banter”.. yeah.
honestly like good for her tho she doesnt have to be so sassy about it lol. i have a chair i got from the street, granted it prob didnt cost 8k. had it for a year or so, no problems, but it is a risk you gotta take if you want free furniture. i think mine was thrown out because the height adjuster is broken, otherwise its good. couches are probably riskier, but. i feel like tiktok always makes a huge deal out of stuff for no reason. i dont think its some randoms job to tell people like 'btw this is risky so dont do it but im doing it'. idk
Wow, I never knew someone struggles with the same immuno disorder that I do! it feels very validating to see a youtuber I like struggle with chronic uticaria too :) thank you jarvis
This peanut test is wild. Basically, going "hey, we're gonna put you into anaphylaxis" is actually crazy since anaphylaxis can literally change your taste preferences, your hair texture (curly to straight for example), and so many other things after you experience it. It's not like the most common, but it's definitely a thing and wild to ask people to do.
That's not actually true though is it? Anaphylaxis could most likely cause taste aversions, if you get it while eating something you might start to avoid food related to what you got the allergic shock to, and where exactly did you hear that your hair can change texture? What's the relation between physical hair structure and anaphylaxis exaxtly?
@wormie1312ive had it before and my hair just fell out 😢 i cant say that it changed the texture after it regrew though
27:08 I actually tried the new meal and unironically love the red bun. Its sweet and tastes just like a King's Hawaiian roll. And the sundae is surprisingly good too
This podcast is one of my favorite parts of the week. 💚
your comments on totk are so real, I've gotten absolutely no work done since it dropped (literally already have like 150 hours recorded in it)
literally the same amount of hours, im so fucking behind on all other responsibilities but Hyrule needs saving

not the crossover we expected, but the one we needed
I was so high when I met Danny Gonzalez at Chipotle that I told him that I had willed it to happen. I was on a business trip and had just told my sister "Oh I think Danny Gonzalez lives near here." And then I found him at the Chipotle next to my hotel. Thank you to Danny for being so cool about it.
Were you high when you wrote this too?

It’s so fun to find out that a UA-camr I love knows another UA-camr I love cuz sometimes it seems like they exist in parallel universes.

Nailed it 😂
Idk what it is about people named Ethan and bleaching their hair, but Ethan Nestor is absolutely not the first one to do it nor the last. I knew an Ethan in grade school with naturally white hair and there’s ethanisonline with bleached hair
Keep detecting, buster.
@@stentorion3669 what the fuck are you talking about
Ethan rite of passage
jarvis having his profile icon printed out on his coffee table is insane person behavior and i respect him for it
the way i literally commented on an episode of brain leak the other day begging for a sad boyz crossover we're halfway there lads!!!
ooh boy it's time for the great couch 🙂
I would never sit on that thing it was SO gross that thing has to be infested 😭😭
I've had chronic hives for about 2.5 years now. They're mostly caused by stress but get worse with heat. Doctors are just like "idk keep going to therapy"
shout out to the subtitles keeping the fada in Seán! The lord’s work, truly
Jarvis says “friend of the show” about almost everyone he talks about lol I swear I hear it at least once an episode
Maybe they meant to say underneath-the-ass shot🤷🏼♀️😂…..also, as a New Yorker(born & raised) and I would NEVER just bring in anything from outside no matter how long it was in the rain! That’s nasty AF! Also, this couch dilemma reminds me of the Big Bang Theory episode when Penny found a couch and it had a rodent!
I think they didn't know what a hip was maybe
As someone who grew up in an area where "Garbage Picking" was a super normal thing, like furniture and things left on the curb with the expectation that someone who needs it more will come take it and clean it and use it, i truly dont understand couch gate, like so much of the furniture i had growing up started as someone elses trash that we picked up took home and cleaned. Bed Bugs are awful for sure, but theres ways you can check for bed bugs before you put the furniture in your home, OP didnt seem to know what she was doing but her dad and sister certainly did and they scrubbed it clean i dont understand the issue
This is one of my favorite recent Sad Boyz episodes! Nice job, boyz.
Excellent timing on this upload! Thx
same, went on right as i went on lunch break at work😂
43:39 - This might have changed since I was a kid but peanut butter was banned in primary school to minimize allergic reactions
Same here
@@lucilleballs2291 Are you Australian? I just googled and it seems like all schools have this rule but there is some debate if it actually minimizes reactions. In my experience, nobody ever had one.
@@Tahmorrow Hmm, I'm actually American! 😅 But yeah this makes sense, nobody ever had reactions at my school either 👍🤔
guys i just signed up for their patreon it’s literally so full of videos and im super excited to watch them all i just . Pls join its so worth it !!
I had chronic hives for two straight years, and the little countries description is so accurate. They were everywhere. I looked crazy for two years and we have no idea what triggered it. Then one day they were just gone.
I once lived in student apartment with issues furniture. They accidentally gave us an extra mattress and then asked us to put outside for them to pick up. Within days it was unrecognizable. Squirrels and birds pried it open and pulled the stuffing out, it got rained on, pressure washed, mud, dirt. When it fell over and sat in front of the landing people would have smoke breaks on it, jump on it, hang out on and get high. It was disgusting. After weeks we got maintenance to remove it and they ended up tossing it because of how bad it got.
No joke, right as the fedora conversation was happening, two people who looked like they were in the target demographic for Roblox walked by me with fedoras on. You can’t make this stuff up, folks. 👏🏻
The target demo for Roblox are like eight years old
The Sad Boyz sit the way my friends and I sit but I appreciate them being the guinea pigs to how people might react to that if I were to ever start a UA-cam podcast
This was a delightful episode, came out just when I needed a good laugh.
Just gotta say despite not being subscribed to the patreon, I always watch the lil edit at the end and they're always great.
I love this podcast. It feels like hanging out with some pals, and getting to be in the inside jokes. good amount of side ass
when jarvis said PMV i spit out my water 😭 mans does not know
Please explain, I don't get it 😭
When you guys were talking about going back to the gym, i started thinking about swimming, since i havent swam for a few weeks and am starting to see the evidence my hard work fade. But then i remembered that i cant swim or work out or even walk because I'm injured. This podcast really lives up to its name!
“Like the DMV?? The… the PMV??”
Podcast of Motor Vehicles is a great title
Omg it's the Sad Boyz from the infamous podcast Sad Boyz hiiiiiii ^^
I feel jarvis on the "coming to vhs soon" vibe. I've been recollecting comics I had in the late 90s. It's nice to reread heroes reborn and superman blue but the ads really boost my nostalgia. Seeing an ad for the upcoming Blade movie (1998) or the old "tobacco is whacko" campaign really brings me back
I really appreciate this podcast. Also at around 3:50 - Jordan's hand looks independent (like thing on Addam's family) because his arm is hidden behind the couch and the shot is a little tighter/doesn't show him. No problem with it, just thought it was funny with all the dissecting of the sitting positions
he does the hand thing again at 12:40 😂
I've taken furniture off the curb. You just look for signs of bed bugs and then I have a big front porch where I can clean the hell out of if before it even goes inside.
POV: Jarvis shows his friends Jordan and Ethan his cool stuff during their play date/indoor recess
(aka: people with adhd when they are hanging with friends(aka me))
The talk of crotch cams and TOTK back to back, as an AstralSpiff viewer, is hilarious.
as a former fast food employee: those burger king employees probably told you so much info because they were afraid you'd yell at them if they didn't keep talking. Legit it's like a thing that happens to everyone, and often employees aren't told enough information to answer questions in the first place so you get the same rumors they hear in hopes you'll be nice.
was actual crying this episode omg. love u guys
I will say, I salvaged some decent stuff during college dorm moveouts. People tend to toss stuff out of sheer convenience instead of packing it, especially if they're well off
More sideass please!
the couch thing could become an It Follows situation or even The Ring you just keep having to pass along different sofas or someone will die
When my family went thru my grandfathers stuff after he died, i ended up getting a ton of sealed happy meal toys (some still in the original printed paper bag with the little games or whatever on it) from the late 90s and early 00s. I absolutely love them.
My grandpa was raised by a woman raised in the Depression so the whole family has a bit of that "mild hoarder" tendency. Not great when having to sort thru their stuff,but awesome for me who likes old magazines and toys, especially since they're all in really good condition for their age.
Pro tip to your sister, putting vintage books in a freezer safe bag and freezing them for a week will kill anything that may still be in them!!
@@chevvy427 thanks for the tip. I am a bit confused tho, what would be living in books? And also I don't have a sister lol
I doubt anything would have been in them, as he kept all the books indoors in closed cabinets, and all were in good shape (no damage beyond simple age and use, definitely no bug/mouse damage)
@@jvseventeen I'm sorry, there was another comment about somebody's sister bringing bedbugs home in an old book-- I have no clue how I ended up replying on your comment instead!
@@chevvy427 lol totally fine, youtube gets weird with comments sometimes.
Partially bc im tired as shit and partially bc yall are funny as shit, but goddamn this episode had me viscerally cackling
“mon, tues, wednes…” made me laugh an unreasonable amount. I love this pod.
I have picked up a genuine Afghan rug outside my old apartment - it had been rained on too haha. My partner and I took it to a self serve car wash and power washed that hoe for like 20 minutes straight and then I HAND scrubbed it and used a wet-dry shop vac on it. It doesn’t look new, but it’s the most treasured piece in our home and we found and cleaned it together ❤️
We also picked up a swivel chair outside my apartment and did the same. Both were left outside for about a week. I’ll take the chance of bed bugs at my own risk. I can’t believe all these bourgeoise bitches can’t handle getting shit for free at one’s own risk loool
i was literally just rewatching last weeks episode being like damn i miss them
One time I saw a pop-it in the middle of a parking lot and I took it home and washed it. Also another time I saw a reusable bag floating across a parking lot in the wind, and I took it and started using it. I honestly love getting stuff like that, so I think the problem with the couch is just that the stakes are kind of high. But, it's totally possible that the couch is just fine.
Seeing that Clefable spin mechanism just unlocked a memory of some happy meal toy that I loved so much. I don’t even know what the toy was of, I just remember the spinning was so amazing to me.
I have experienced what Ethan is talking about!! I feel like my inner ear sensors are messing up or something but I have heard the pillow party
Same. Pretty sure it's just the fiber/filling in the pillow/pillowcase moving around, but when i'm paranoid it freaks me out cuz i think it's bugs lol
I have some of those pokemon toys, the ones I remember clearly are the gengar spinning top and a pikachu stapler? I remember having a tape dispenser but I have no clue where it went. I also had the poliwag one as well, no clue where that went either. We have so much random pokemon toys lol
on the topic of separate tables for peanut allergies, in elementary school there was a kid who was deathly allergic to peanuts but there wasn’t a table separate so if someone brought peanuts they would just sit at another. we had assigned seats by our last names and this girl hated the peanut kid so much that she brought a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every day so she wouldn’t have to sit at the same table as him
Wooo wooo killer of the crank
Having a bed bug infestation was one of the worst traumas I experienced in my life. My family is low income so just the cost of extermination was enough to cause serious damage. I had to go through my freshman - junior years of high school unable to go to friends houses out of fear of contamination, unable to have friends come over, all my furniture packed away and my clothes in trash bags, routine bug checks, and so much more. My mental health took a terrible decline and my obsessive and paranoid symptoms got so much worse. I STILL have terrible fears of bed bugs even after having not seen one in the house for a long time now. I am still paranoid. Bed bugs f****** suck, especially if you are low income.
Living in NY it's a very normal thing for people to "adopt" furniture on the street, and also to leave out furniture & stuff you don't want anymore for someone else to take. Yes sometimes it requires more than a little wash down, but this is not new. I don't know why people are so pressed about this couch in particular but yes, sometimes when someone takes home trash furniture it can have really bad consequences and that risk is up to the individual who wants the item, and this individual decided to take that risk. We're not all a part of that decision
a pack of boys suddenly stoping their podcast to play with Pokemon toy is the purest thing I've ever seen
33:16 my friend got a happy meal like a couple months ago and the toy was made of paper and it was really hard to put together and we were so confused as to how they expected children to put it together
30:18 insight into this as a former starbucks employee- to my knowledge some of this is the lingering impact of covid on shipping and manufacturing. the distributing warehouses have been super congested, so even if we were putting in the orders for low stock items, it didn't guarantee we were actually going to receive those goods on restock days. because of this we would just have to use whatever it was we had on hand until it was gone, and then just hope that we'd actually receive the things we ordered in the next shipment. since it's happening across the board to all locations, we also couldn't guarantee to customers which stores might have what if came to things like the availability of certain syrup flavors.
i can't say for sure that's the reason burger king is struggling, but it sounds very close to what we were dealing with
why is no one talking about how jarvis’s profile picture is just sitting on the table??
