[@meatpeopledoingmeatthings7118]

@@katc2040 Obviously If it’s a couch in your house a simple clean with tools like this is fine. But she is picking this up off of the streets of NYC !!! She has no idea where this came from and couches can hold onto so many different germs, fluids, and don’t even get me started on bugs. She barely scraped the surface. Bed bugs and types of almost invisible mites will hide deep in crevices of furniture and fabric and you will have no idea they are there. I assume NYC has rat mites and they can stay alive for awhile without a host, are tinier than a grain of sand, and will drive you insane once an infestation starts. If you have any interest or happen to be bored you should look up some couch/rug/upholstery cleaners on youtube. You can see that sometimes a couch will look completely clean but still is holding onto so much dirt and grime. I personally think it’s interesting but that’s just me :)

As someone who lives in an affluent neighborhood in a cheap apartment, you’d be surprised how much good shit people throw out because they don’t want to go through the hassle of selling it. We actually got a large pottery barn couch for free when a neighbor put it out because the couch cover was dirty but the couch itself was pristine. Like definitely understand the concern about getting a couch from the sidewalk (and I wouldn’t want to do it again) but at the time we definitely couldn’t buy even a cheap couch and only had one armchair in our apartment XD

[@Boycrush2000]

PSA if you see furniture on the side of the road or wherever: hard furniture is NOT necessarily safer than soft furniture. Both can contain bugs (e.g bed bugs, wood louse) that can then spread to the other furniture in your house. And even if hard furniture may appear clean it is still very important to thoroughly wash before putting it in your home. Stay safe :)

[@lindsey4245]

i’m sorry but “democratize access to influencers” is the most disgusting thing i’ve ever heard

[@ccb36]

Agreed. It's really concerning, imo it dehumanizes "influencers" (making them something you can 'access') and also destroys the concept of content creators as individuals with their own time, lives, and autonomy. Like they're a commodity to be shared "democratically" somehow rather than a multidimensional person with limited time and resources. Also I shudder to think what this will do to people's feelings of entitlement when it comes to their favorite "influencers." How fast will this slide into people feeling (even more so than they often already do) that they have the "right" to "access" the celebrities/creators they like? Oof

I’ve grown up picking up furniture from the curb. I was taught how to inspect for bed bugs and if it has any sort of wear we usually wouldn’t pick it up.

But that’s my opinion and of course you’re entitled to yours.

I've gotten all of my bedroom furniture from the street. But couches are something I wouldn't take, especially not from NYC. You don't know who has been using that couch, what animal has been on it, there could be bedbugs infested in it. And she cleaned it so haphazardly. That's a no from me

I do think you'd have to deeply clean it and I've dealt with bed bugs before (you can see them!!! and leaving the couch out and/or using high heat or cold will get rid of them). But 2149 people commenting about a COUCH that is not in their own apartment is uncalled for.

[@dazeslays]

i definitely think the public outcry was totally overblown and some of it is based in privilege. that being said i think concerns about stuff like pests and mold/mildew are important to consider. that's a risk some people are willing to take and i don't think that choice should be looked down upon, but people should still be informed about it. i wonder if some of the outcry comes from the fact that she seems to be relatively privileged herself. i don't think this situation would have blown up if it was some poor person finding a regular couch, cleaning it up, and adding it to their living room. the whole situation seems so frivolous. she already has a perfectly good couch that she bought brand new less than 6 months ago. she's living in a 1 bedroom apartment in NYC which costs a small fortune nowadays; it does not seem like this was done out of necessity. i don't think there's anything morally wrong about what she did and frankly i don't know why people care so much. i just think she should have gotten it professionally deep cleaned because the way she cleaned it herself likely damaged the couch according to some professionals

[@missingwalle9364]

I mean I do agree on people getting up in arms over the most trivial things on the internet. Kurtis is exaggerating here, and that is an aspect of his humour whether we like it or not. Most of his gripes about it, and this is mine as well, is that fabric items can be conduits for diseases. It's also prime real estate for pests. Bed bugs, fleas, and maybe even mold (depending on if there are pockets of moisture left deep in that couch) are all vectors/causes of diseases. Indigenous communities have been wiped out bc of blankets that introduced smallpox so it's not out of community health concerns about picking up fabric furniture without professionals doing a thorough cleaning of it. Who even knows how dirty that couch really is and how thoroughly they cleaned it. We can only take the girl's word for it, and we can just leave it at that. I guess it would've gone better if there wasn't any doubt that she did get it thoroughly cleaned, or if people are aware that there is nothing wrong with picking up furniture off the side of the road, but just be aware of the unintended consequences.

So, let's kick things off with the first category: Silt versus Clay. Max: Silt, often silky smooth and fine-grained, is perfect for a relaxing worm spa day. However, clay, with its sticky nature, can be a challenge for worms to maneuver through. It's a tough call, but I think silt takes the win for its welcoming texture. Sammy: I agree, Max. Silt is like a warm, cozy blanket for worms. Moving on to our next category: Peat or Loam. Both are known for their fertility, but which one reigns supreme? Max: Ah, peat, the decomposed organic matter that forms in wetlands. It's nutrient-rich and excellent for worm castings. On the other hand, loam combines sand, silt, and clay, creating a harmonious blend that worms adore. This one is a tie for me, Sammy. Sammy: I have to disagree, Max. Loam takes the crown for me. It's versatile and provides the perfect balance of moisture and aeration. Sorry, peat enthusiasts! Max: Fair enough, Sammy. Now, let's delve into the wild world of boggy bogs. We have marshes, swamps, and fens. Which one is the ultimate worm playground? Sammy: Marshes are often filled with shallow water and grassy vegetation. Swamps are more forested and waterlogged. Fens, on the other hand, are characterized by their high water table and abundant mosses. I'd say fens win this round. They offer a unique combination of moist soil and lush vegetation that worms just can't resist. Max: I'm torn between marshes and fens, but I'll have to agree with you, Sammy. Fens take the lead in this category! Sammy: Great minds think alike, Max. Now, it's time for our final category: Mud Puddles. We're talking about those enticing patches of mud after a rainstorm. Max: Ah, the joy of mud puddles! The texture, the moisture, the pure delight they bring. But there's one crucial factor: the splatterability. After careful consideration, I must crown the slightly viscous, splatter-prone mud puddles as the ultimate winner. Sammy: I'm right there with you, Max. There's something truly magical about a mud puddle that sprays joy with each jump. Splatterability is definitely a game-changer. Max: And that concludes our rankings of different types of mud! We hope you enjoyed this slimy and muddy adventure with us, dear listeners. Sammy: Join us next time on "Wriggling Through the Earth" for more worm-filled adventures, where we'll explore the mysteries of composting and reveal the secrets of vermiculture!

Big enjoyed your Elvis tape in the bg. You deliver on all the small details man. 🥰

The coincidental comedy of 'satisfy her fans' and the cat food being called 'tastefuls' was amusing, Like the ad itself was calling out the quote ironically.

[@rinspade6507]

imma just say that a lot of furniture on the street is just because people can't get it to a thrift!

[@yrn3992]

I’m not against getting second hand furniture but I am against side of the road couches, my couch was broken and we can’t afford a new couch so we got one second hand but we met up with the people in the country and they had a nice house and assured us it didn’t have bed bugs lol but from the side of the road you don’t know where it’s from they might’ve put it there because it has bed bugs

[@kevinseth02]

Kurtis, thank you so much for brightening my day once again with your amazing podcast! I really love your videos, they always make me laugh so hard. Today is a really important day to me because it's the anniversary of my grandpa's death, but even though it's such a terrible day to me you made me laugh again today and I'm really grateful for it. I hope you're having a nice day! Love from Brazil ❤

[@ssnowstarr4985]

I'm sorry to hear about your grandpa, I hope you're doing okay

[@kiwikrg]

As someone who cleans upholstery and carpet for a living they did a bad cleaning job and i really lost my shit seeing the steam vac being RAN OVER THE COUCH. Her couch is going to stink in a week or so. You have to use proper products and thoroughly use the small wand on it. Something lile that id want to let dry and do it again after a leave in solution to pull more to surface. Gross. You can see when youre done cleaning by watching the water come through a clear wand which they didnt do lol.

[@wepeelwraps]

this was my beef with it too!! i have & will get things second hand but you gotta clean it HARD🥴

[@samaraisnt]

she did let it dry a week but yeah didnt see a thurough clean at any point...then again its her couch so if she's happy with it leave her alone?

[@TinyGhosty]

Dupes will often mimic the original tags, just because the tag says a brand doesn't mean it is 100 percent that brand.

[@chanellequinones273]

Tbh that couch is super cool to me and I would’ve wanted to take it too. However, I would’ve taken it to get professionally cleaned since it did get rained on.

[@bassattack799]

Theres no way that couch is clean😭 it looks difficult to clean too

[@jbuckley759]

So excited to see kurtis' comedy special in toronto next week :D

You guys, I need a place to vent. Today at work, this person would not stop farting. I kept spraying my expensive perfume that I am running out of, and I’m trying to save money right now, but they just kept farting, and it was surprisingly strong. How do I stop them from farting?

I’m so excited to show my mom your comedy special it’s stupid

[@yomomma5629]

10:45 the poutine ad at the top is soooooo #canadacore

[@kannibalwherm1975]

i think that what amouranth is doing is really smart and a good way to capitalize off the weird demands of her fan base without actually having to personally do or say anything she's uncomfortable with, but this could severely increase parasocial bonds that could potentially lead to a fan putting her in danger in real life. i hope she is aware of this potential danger and has people around her to keep her safe in public

[@samanthakaitlynm]

me sitting on a couch my mom got off the side of the road LMAO its pretty nice though its the kind with cushions you can remove and an L shape that connects the two pieces. I personally would not have picked up a couch just bc i'd be scared as fuuuuck abt bed bugs or fleas but my mom had this couch for a couple years and didn't have any issues and gave it to me when she was buying a new one. we both got pretty lucky tbh and this bitch has gone through 3 houses of my own so far

[@izzypelletier5765]

Elvis on the tv is amazing👌👌 Good one Kurt🙌

[@notevennero]

i love the new term "megular" and will be using it on a daily basis. 11:50

The song "Fifteen" by Taylor Swift realy reminded me of the girl especially the line "cause when you're Fifteen and somebody tells you they love you you're gonna believe them". But it does get better, the best people in life are free (new romantics)

[@soggylizurd]

so much energy in this one kurt love it

[@milenamatvejeva9846]

Im wondering if this whole thing is fake? Bc theres no way she found that couch on the side of the street. Its giving me the same vibes of someone 'finding' a very expensive brand in a thrift shop when they actually just brought it w them to film it

[@unpreparedwithacapitalf]

i've found some expensive shit in thrift stores before and my mom got a pretty fancy rug from a yard sale like 10 years ago. It's not far fetched

[@Tahmorrow]

Elvis on the tv in the background hell yeah!

[@z33phyrs]

love this guy! Conner!

[@TheFangirlOtaku]

Maybe I'm just poor but my family and many friends have had second hand furniture all my life. My stepdad helps clean out the homes where people have left their furniture behind for whatever reason (usually just because it's old) and we regularly scrub through piles of it for cool stuff. Yeah, some have some stains or whetever but we clean it before we bring it into our house and it's fine. Not everything at goodwill is reupholstered. Damn, not Kurtis being classist on the pod... Don't come for me please

[@LeBatteur]

It’s not classist to be suspicious of a fabric couch that’s been left outside in a major metropolitan area. Bedbugs are a thing, and they’ll cost way more to get rid of than buying a couch that hasn’t been left outdoors for who knows how long. Just because she was lucky this time doesn’t mitigate that risk. Mold is also a thing, and can have serious health affects over time. The fact that the couch was sitting outside in the rain, and then sat uncleaned in a garage for several weeks after getting soaked really elevates the possibility for mold to set in. I’m not judging people in poverty for doing what they have to do in order to have the things they deserve to have, like comfortable furniture. But it’s not classist to say that upholstered furniture left outside can be hazardous to bring into your home, whether you wash it or not. Also the person in that TikTok seemed pretty well off- I know you can’t exactly tell someone’s financial situation by a few short clips, but having an apartment in New York (or any major city area, really) is really expensive. They already had a couch, meaning they weren’t deprived of furniture to begin with. And this is just my opinion, but the way they act leaves me with the impression of monetary privilege. All of this to say that no- they weren’t wrong to want to upcycle a couch. But neither are the people who think it’s unsanitary. I would not be afraid to take hand me down furniture from another person if I needed it- but I wouldn’t claim abandoned furniture. As someone with a mold allergy, it’s just not worth the risk.

[@TheFangirlOtaku]

@@LeBatteur fair. I'll admit I missed all that about it being in the rain then left in a garage to fester. I had it on in the background and kinda just came in when he started roasting her about it. I was also not serious about him being classist, I was being sarcastic. I know Kurtis is not an ass, there are much more actual classist people on the web. Granted, I also knew somebody was gonna take my comment a little too seriously. I understand you have a mold allergy, and that sucks, but it kind of changes the playing field for whether or not used furniture is as dangerous to others as it is for you. If it's risky for you, totally don't take it. Take care of yourself. That said, to me the couch looks fine and she will probably enjoy it for at least 6 moons before she buys a new one on Amazon because as you mentioned, she does look pretty well off. Never said she was poor, just that his commentary out of context was a little classist. Which it was. Again, I know Kurtis isn't some ignorant narcissist. I was just trying to point out something I noticed with a little humor behind it. Also I know what a major metropolitan area looks like, I live in one of the crappy cities around Chicago. Did you not read my request at the bottom, friend?

[@samaraisnt]

@@LeBatteur It's classist to have the CHOICE to turn it down because you can buy new furniture. You do realize many people will never have like 8000$, or even half that, to buy new furniture? It takes more than one couch to furnish a whole house... So they have no other options. It's classist cause you didn't even consider that other people don't have the options you have to turn down the cheapest widely available option. Ofc everyone would LIKE to buy new furniture if they could afford it because it comes with less risks. The point is they can't. Calling other people gross for their only option is gross.

[@raelauren504]

im too high to hear kurtis tell me there are bugs behind my eyes rn

[@erikaj4655]

i love finding random stuff on the side of the street but i won't bring any fabric things in and i always spray, scrub and hose down any things before i bring them inside

[@Fignewton225]

As an upstate New Yorker (met you at your show hey broski) I feel like if it wasn’t from the city specifically it would be fine😭 like here in my town there’s some nice stuff but again much cleaner than the city

[@Triksekongen1]

Still a nice couch

[@Emma.H06]

Am I the only one who has a deadly fear of bed bugs?!?? Like I will never pick up furniture from the side of the road because the risk isn’t worth it to me. Getting rid of bed bugs is like so expensive and inconvenient 😭

[@dapu571]

na im not w you on this one the couch was fine. its not that deep shes right
