We'll go with that fabric. It 26 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: arrives yesterday as you. As I mentioned in yesterday's a 27 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 1: Little Bit of Pod, we were sitting on the floor 28 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: having some drinks and sing alongs, me and my family 29 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: as we want to do, and I was lying on 30 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: the rug when I notice these shabby little metal bits 31 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: hanging out of the bottom of the couch where they're 32 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: not supposed to be. It's a modular couch, and they 33 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: had these little bits that spin out and click together 34 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: so that the thing stays there. Got those yeah, yeah, yeah, 35 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: but they're only supposed to be in the parts for 36 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: the right configuration. So like I've got a little Chai's 37 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: Ottoman bit and it's on the right hand side, and 38 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: then I'm looking at the left hand but and it's 39 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: got these middle bits for a chase, which means they've 40 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: actually given me the wrong fucking part, so they would 41 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: be the wrong orientation of couch. They've given me a 42 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: left hand one rather than the right hand one. How 43 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: did you notice? 44 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 2: How did you notice? 45 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: Because I'm on the ground and I can see the 46 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: little middle bits sitting there. 47 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 2: It looks fine. 48 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: No it's not, because I can see these little middle 49 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: bits sticking out of the bottom. You would click in 50 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: the ottoman, but I'm not because it's supposed to be 51 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: clicking on the other. 52 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 3: Side on November December.

So 68 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: I was like, man, I've just been sitting on the 69 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: floor or my parents have been enjoying the couch. So 70 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: I'll go on in the arm chet. And I was like, 71 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: I have a little laid down on the couch. The 72 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: moment that fabric touches my skin, we have a problem. 73 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: I fuck me. It mentioned I couldn't get the same fabric, 74 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: so I got the closest one too. I have sensitive skin, 75 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: so things like Swan drys or woolen blankets or particular 76 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: fabrics will instantly make my skin crawl. The moment this 77 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: fabric touches my skin, it feels like a Hessian sack, 78 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: a large, itchy, uncomfortable, irritable, gonna give me a rash, 79 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: multi thousand dollars Hessian log of shit.
