Speaker 1: the risks. Oh well, there are other ways. There are
Speaker 1: other ways. Yep, there are other ways. And we'll just
Speaker 1: say there are other ways there. There there are other
Speaker 1: there's really only one other way that I know. Hey, everybody,
Speaker 1: welcome to hold up This is the show that is.
Speaker 1: It's really just two people arguing about things that don't
Speaker 1: really matter, but they mattered everyone, but not in a
Speaker 1: huge way. It's not gonna affect your life that much
Speaker 1: at all. Um. I'm Josh Johnson. I'm a writer for
Speaker 1: The Daily Show, and I'm a co host of the podcast.
Speaker 1: I'm joined by those days line bridges. I'm of course
Speaker 1: bribe every Daily Show. I'm a stand a comedian. I
Speaker 1: love Jesus, and one of my favorite things to do
Speaker 1: is make Josh make the face he's making right now.
Speaker 1: Today we're gonna be talking wie me, weenie me. I've
Speaker 1: done nothing. I've done nothing today. I'm not a weighty
Speaker 1: at all. All right. I'm a chrome man, okay, Um,
Speaker 1: I look, I'm not one. I am not aweenie. Okay.
Speaker 1: I'm just you remember that, and you tell the streets
Speaker 1: all right when they talk about in the streets, I
Speaker 1: am the whole dog, all right. I am not awaenie. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you. We're not gonna be talking about the streets today.
Speaker 1: Today we're gonna be talking about the insides, all right.
Speaker 1: We're talking about carpet versus hardwood floors. It didn't sound
Speaker 1: that weird. I was talking about, not talking about the streets,
Speaker 1: talking about the insides. It didn't sound weird. When when
Speaker 1: you let it linger like that, it becomes weird. But
Speaker 1: if no, no, no, no no no, if you would
Speaker 1: just go ahead and talk normal when it was normal,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be weird, you know. But when you leave
Speaker 1: a silence in a room, it becomes weird. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: just me a hundred. Tell the people where you land
Speaker 1: on this debate of carpet versus hardwood. I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to say, as someone whose hips and back have been
Speaker 1: suffering on his hard ass floor. Wow, since I left
Speaker 1: the Great State of Georgia, because see my mamma's house
Speaker 1: at hardwood and carpet, and I love being upstairs. No,
Speaker 1: it wasn't upstairs hardwood. So many places people are like, oh,
Speaker 1: carpet's gross. Carpets not gross if you clean it, you
Speaker 1: mean nasty. Okay, okay. Carpet is love is nice. It's soft,
Speaker 1: you know, and if you get the chance, you can
Speaker 1: shuffle your feet on it and and shot your brother
Speaker 1: or your mom um, or every once in a while
Speaker 1: you can uh static electricity shock your cat now a purpose,
Speaker 1: or just going to pick up the cat you've been
Speaker 1: on the floor all day, or they shock you. That's interesting.
Speaker 1: A cat miracle came up and she went zoom and
Speaker 1: we were both very much caught off guard. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't imagine cat looking at its pause being like
Speaker 1: more powers. There's a video of a cat or memory phone.
Speaker 1: Uh it's you know, they stepped down and it goes
Speaker 1: back up and step down, the back up, and at
Speaker 1: one point the cat's like walking backwards looking at his
Speaker 1: paw prints, but they keep popping up and the cat
Speaker 1: just looks at his paw. He's like step step step
Speaker 1: the fuck like he just looks at his hand, like,
Speaker 1: am I not doing what I was based to be doing.
Speaker 1: Cats also have so much confidence that to see one
Speaker 1: be like is it memm is particularly is particularly insane,
Speaker 1: where usually cats are like, no, I know better than water,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna go ahead and lick the back
Speaker 1: rather than dip it in some water and actually clean it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lick it until I feel like it's clean.
Speaker 1: That's the amount of confidence that cats have, right, So
Speaker 1: for a cat to look at its own paul and
Speaker 1: be like, maybe it's me. No, I don't that does
Speaker 1: not happen in nature. No, it's because there's no memory
Speaker 1: foam in nature. It's wild because even humans are like
Speaker 1: just supposed bouncing this thing and then everything and I
Speaker 1: get up and it's not shaped like me. Wow. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I'm saying it's carpet is soft. Yeah, yeah, yeah
Speaker 1: it hard would be sucking up psychoticals. I love when
Speaker 1: you started a story like this, a boy back in
Speaker 1: the day who his girl was cheating and he fouled
Speaker 1: out from the bid brief Josh, because the dude had
Speaker 1: just left when he got there, Josh. And it wasn't
Speaker 1: like a cartoon, It wasn't like a perfect imprint, but
Speaker 1: it was just like, you don't take up that much
Speaker 1: space on a bed, Josh. Me shack shag rack a
Speaker 1: bidding to go. Johnson, I will I never tell you? Oh,
Speaker 1: oh fucking while, Josh Johnson, I Ken, how does anyone?
Speaker 1: I mean? It was It was one of those things
Speaker 1: too where I'm sure if he didn't think about it,
Speaker 1: it wasn't gonna it wasn't gonna like really occur to him.
Speaker 1: But because of the memory fin because of the memory phone,
Speaker 1: and once again, not some perfect imprint, not some head
Speaker 1: to toe foot you know, Looney Tune through a wall imprint,
Speaker 1: not kool aid Man through your not No, not kool
Speaker 1: aid Man in the mattress. I'm I'm saying it was
Speaker 1: just too big of an intention coming back up off
Speaker 1: the bed. So you know who his shape is. He
Speaker 1: knows what his shape is. And then he saw that
Speaker 1: shape and said, oh, that's not that's not me. I
Speaker 1: just walked in. That's not my backside. Yeah. Also, how
Speaker 1: is there an invention if I haven't been here and
Speaker 1: that dude just left. But yeah, carpet is also. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you think carpets comfortable and everything. I'm with you, I'm
Speaker 1: with you. What I am against is carpet in a bathroom.
Speaker 1: That's a bad idea. That's wild and I've I've seen
Speaker 1: it a couple of times just in even This is
Speaker 1: the wildest thing to me about about when people choose
Speaker 1: used to put carpet in and they do it in
Speaker 1: a bathroom, or they just do it in a place
Speaker 1: that doesn't make a li sense. One of the reasons
Speaker 1: that there's been a turn, there's been a turn this
Speaker 1: decade against carpet onto my side, onto the hardwood floor.
Speaker 1: Side of the argument is because cheap hotels, motels, they've
Speaker 1: they've done carpet dirty, and they become a representative, an
Speaker 1: unwanted representative of the carpet brand, that this is just
Speaker 1: covering something up, that this is just dirty. Now, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because they've done carpet dirty, meaning that not that they've
Speaker 1: been inappropriate to a carpet, is that when they're doing carpet,
Speaker 1: the carpet is dirty. The carpet's dirty, and it doesn't
Speaker 1: actually I don't even know what you would call it.
Speaker 1: Someone who actually does interior design would know what it is.
Speaker 1: But I've never seen in a motel a carpet that
Speaker 1: was flushed to the wall. It's either an inch short
Speaker 1: so you see what the real floor looks like, or
Speaker 1: it's like slightly riding up the wall in the corner
Speaker 1: where you be staying. This is where it was staying.
Speaker 1: This is where I'm staying. Now where you be staying?
Speaker 1: Come on, you know what you you you know by
Speaker 1: literal struggle, I can't say. I mean, listen, I've been
Speaker 1: in a hotel where there was a band aid stuck
Speaker 1: to the wall, So I know you're just talking about Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know it's talking. I'm not gonna say that I
Speaker 1: haven't lived this life. I haven't been in a smoking
Speaker 1: hotel room in Middle Tennessee. I'm not gonna say that.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell it. Allow myself what a will say.
Speaker 1: I noticed that now cheaper hotels, one, it probably is
Speaker 1: easier to maintain. If you're a cheap ass hotel. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's probably easier to maintain not having carpet one. Spills
Speaker 1: are much easier to get in. Nothing's seeping down, like
Speaker 1: I can I see the motivation. The hotels are always
Speaker 1: cold as shit and the floor is so slippery, Like
Speaker 1: I'm never in a situation where I'm like, I wanted
Speaker 1: to bust my ass today, Like I'm not that I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know why why I busted my ass always
Speaker 1: seems to be the option, Like I just can't live,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Okay, Because the floors are
Speaker 1: so slippery, it's like yeah, yeah, oh, I've never wanted
Speaker 1: to meet Jesus like this. I want to, you know,
Speaker 1: go on my sleep, but a Christian surrounded by my
Speaker 1: loved ones and one good enemy. Um, I that that
Speaker 1: would be funny to just be on your deathbed and
Speaker 1: look over at somebody and be like, see how many
Speaker 1: people love me? Be my friend lace lace barre Larisha's
Speaker 1: an amazing commune, And she said, my sister. She always
Speaker 1: says that when she dies, she wants to be on
Speaker 1: a funeral pire m pushed out like in the middle
Speaker 1: of Lake Lanier, and she wants one of her biggest
Speaker 1: enemies to roll out to this burning feed her. Pire
Speaker 1: lights a cigarette off of her burden body, go bitch,
Speaker 1: and then roll back to shore. What kind of what
Speaker 1: kind of life do you have to be living to
Speaker 1: have the type of enemies with the upper body strength
Speaker 1: to roll out to the middle of a lake wild? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and not like not a leg that can get a
Speaker 1: little choppy if it catches some wind. Yeah, Lanier a
Speaker 1: death lake to start with, Ye already violating the law
Speaker 1: by burning a body on this lake, M right, M.
Speaker 1: But to have someone roll out to your body light
Speaker 1: of fire, bitch, And then honestly, also, this person is
Speaker 1: your greatest enemy that have to agree to this, Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: They have to hate you so much that they're like
Speaker 1: that's a great idea. Yeah, Like you know what, bitch,
Speaker 1: I will come to your funeral I'll bring my own oars.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, she deserved it that I hope she
Speaker 1: burns it. Hell, Like, that's that's what we're doing. My
Speaker 1: thing is, I'll pitch you this real quick pitch, a
Speaker 1: love pinch. I think that there's a stigma on hardwood
Speaker 1: floors that they are what make you really m bust
Speaker 1: ass and and crack skull and and U bang knee. Right,
Speaker 1: But let's not forget that carpet is not innocent here.
Speaker 1: It's not some innocent bystander. It's not some some sweet
Speaker 1: catch all. Oh you fail, let me catch you on
Speaker 1: this soft carpet. No, it's not all that. It's not
Speaker 1: all it's cracked up to be. There's a dark side
Speaker 1: to carpet that y'all need to understand. It's called carpet. No, No,
Speaker 1: y'all don't act like you know though we were all
Speaker 1: the carpet people that I know want to act like
Speaker 1: they've never slid and burned. Okay, it's been. First of all,
Speaker 1: I'm not a child, so I don't think i've had
Speaker 1: That's not true. You've had a carpet burned as an adult.
Speaker 1: It's very easy. All you gotta do is catch yourself
Speaker 1: off some carpet and slip a little, and it's it's
Speaker 1: all the risks. I oh, well, there are other ways.
Speaker 1: There are other ways. Yep, there are other ways. And
Speaker 1: we'll just say there are other ways. They're there. There
Speaker 1: are other there's really only one other way that I know,
Speaker 1: really only one other way that we were openly discussed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's really crazy now that I think about it. There
Speaker 1: are really all the two ways. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And
Speaker 1: then riding down the stairs and you know you you're
Speaker 1: riding at you're riding down the stairs and you you know,
Speaker 1: whatever your medium or for sliding goes out from underneath you.
Speaker 1: That's that's the other way. That's the only other way
Speaker 1: for everyone way, yes, e for every one way to
Speaker 1: get carpet burns on your knees. Now, I do feel
Speaker 1: like the other thing is you brought it up is
Speaker 1: a really great point. The cleanliness and the ability to
Speaker 1: keep these floors clean. Now, with a carpet, you're gonna
Speaker 1: want to have not just a vacuum, but you're gonna
Speaker 1: have the right vacuum for the texture of carpet that
Speaker 1: you have. It's called the pile. The pile, the height
Speaker 1: of your car. Really okay, yeah, pile. I did not
Speaker 1: know that alight, so so old vacuums. Remember that knob
Speaker 1: that used to be on the front of like those bags,
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that was for the pile. Because
Speaker 1: if you had, like say, you had a carpet that
Speaker 1: was just like a fade mmmmm, which is a very
Speaker 1: short like look cut fade m you would have a
Speaker 1: town carpet mmmm. Yeah. Carpet with a lineup, yeah, with
Speaker 1: some edges. Let's manes the carpets madges sidebar. Can we
Speaker 1: talk about the ineffectiveness of the carpet sweeper? Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm glad someone finally brought up. It took about twenty years,
Speaker 1: but finally someone has brought up something that's bothered me
Speaker 1: for decades my entire childhood. They would be like, they
Speaker 1: give you this thing, and I'm just like, the fuck
Speaker 1: is this for? Like the amount of times you went
Speaker 1: over one one thing? Yeah, one thing, the worst wan
Speaker 1: you would see somebody in a restaurant using one, You're like, ma'am, ma'am, man,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna work. That's not gonna work. You're gonna
Speaker 1: spend your whole shift. You're a whole shift trying to
Speaker 1: get them crumbs from underneath. That type, you will have
Speaker 1: one strong triseep and one regular tricep. If you keep going,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be annoyed. You're gonna be You might as
Speaker 1: well just mop. That's very funny. You might as well
Speaker 1: mop the carpet for all that you're doing the way
Speaker 1: that UM. A carpet needs special care and attention. If
Speaker 1: you're trying to keep it pristine, if you're trying to
Speaker 1: keep it like the day you bought it for years,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to do a little bit more than
Speaker 1: just like, oh, I bought a dice in vacuum, and
Speaker 1: you know, I guess we're good. You know. I remember
Speaker 1: one of the punishments as a kid was cleaning the hat,
Speaker 1: cleaning the carpet and not being allowed to use the vacuum,
Speaker 1: like having to sweep carpet. Yeah, yeah, you ever just
Speaker 1: get punished with a puzzle. That's right. And the thing
Speaker 1: is what the secret is sweeping carpet m h. It's swift.
Speaker 1: You can't like you know, with the with the regular
Speaker 1: like on a hardwood floor, you take a broom, you
Speaker 1: just slide across MMMM. With a carpet. You really have
Speaker 1: to just do very quick motions mm to get it
Speaker 1: all yeah, to get it all irritated and dust it up.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, get all dusty up. M. That's why they
Speaker 1: talk like when Carpet Fresh came out, everybody's house smelled
Speaker 1: wild as hell because Carpet Fresh smelled like something you
Speaker 1: put down for a pet. Like. It never smelled like, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh now my house smells like a meadow. No, it's
Speaker 1: oh you must have a dog. I also think that
Speaker 1: so we you know, we've talked about potential injury. We've
Speaker 1: talked about cleanliness. Uh you know that hardwood wins that
Speaker 1: one easy for easy mop easy swiffer you know, um,
Speaker 1: but Swiffer, Now, Swiffer, we have to talk about. Swiffer
Speaker 1: changed the game. It did. Yeah, I will say before
Speaker 1: so as someone who didn't grow up with a swiffer
Speaker 1: the whole time, right, the swiffer came later, there was
Speaker 1: a true difference. That was one of the first products.
Speaker 1: The swiffer was one of the first products that was
Speaker 1: as easy to use as it actually looked in the commercial.
Speaker 1: A lot of those commercials like to make it look
Speaker 1: like they're making your life so much easier. The swiffer
Speaker 1: really came through and was like, no, you don't. You
Speaker 1: could just stand here. You got the whole thing. Just
Speaker 1: stand here and do it. That's the whole thing right there.
Speaker 1: And then it was like, okay, well here's basically it's like,
Speaker 1: here's a Clarks, here's a baby white before your floor,
Speaker 1: right m Also, and then when they got to swift
Speaker 1: for wet jet, nigger, you're telling me with just two
Speaker 1: double A batteries and some floor juice. I do feel
Speaker 1: like it changed my perspective on cleaning too, because it
Speaker 1: used to be when I had to sweep, I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, now I gotta get a guy, get under
Speaker 1: the couch. Guy moved with the couch, gotta sweep under here.
Speaker 1: What I mean, I'm not even gonna find any pennies.
Speaker 1: This is this is terrible. And then with the swiffer,
Speaker 1: the way it attracted the dust, yes, the way that
Speaker 1: it was like no, no, no, no, you've done enough.
Speaker 1: Let me put in some work. I got you. I
Speaker 1: want to touch on something now that I feel like
Speaker 1: is it's not always considered because you know, ideally it's
Speaker 1: not going to happen to you, but you know you
Speaker 1: and I. We live in New York. I know you're
Speaker 1: blessed enough. I've been blessed enough to be in high floors,
Speaker 1: but not everybody has that. You know, there are people
Speaker 1: that live below us. There's people that live below other
Speaker 1: people all the time. What would you rather your upstairs
Speaker 1: neighbor have hardwood clanking and clanking and clanking and or carpet.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is one of the things where
Speaker 1: I have to concede a little bit where carpet. Carpet
Speaker 1: comes in over hardwood. Hardwood takes an l when it
Speaker 1: comes to neighbors, it really does. I am my other apartment,
Speaker 1: I had a neighbor m recording a car like Great North,
Speaker 1: and this person with vacuum every Friday. But I didn't
Speaker 1: know what they were vacuuming. Yeah, because we all had
Speaker 1: hardwood floors. Mhmm, So what are you doing? A maybe
Speaker 1: within their hardwood they have some spaces, might those some
Speaker 1: of those wood pieces might have some spaces, like some
Speaker 1: extra gaps in the teeth, and they got a vacuumum
Speaker 1: out what I feel like. I was like, maybe they
Speaker 1: had rugs, because the thing is, there's nothing to stop
Speaker 1: you from running a vacuum over a hardwood floor. I
Speaker 1: have a roomba. A roomba also, a roomba is like
Speaker 1: if you gave puppies. It's like if you give a
Speaker 1: puppy or a kitten a job, it's a roomba mhm.
Speaker 1: Because they're like, oh, it maps your house. No, the
Speaker 1: fucking doesn't. It runs into walls. Yeah, until it runs
Speaker 1: in the wall, until it runs out of power. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It sucks up your floorboards until they can't fucks them
Speaker 1: up no more. That's all I remember. And it's like
Speaker 1: it's helpful because like I don't have to clean my
Speaker 1: floor now. Hm la doom ba is cleaning my floor.
Speaker 1: I get it. It's great, But girl, put the bottle
Speaker 1: down wrong. The way that you said put the bottle like,
Speaker 1: the way that all this came together really was a
Speaker 1: mystery to me until you because you went you were
Speaker 1: saying something else and that you just out of nowhere
Speaker 1: to say, girl, put the bottle down. I was like,
Speaker 1: I was trying to not with you. I was trying
Speaker 1: to be like, Okay, maybe this is gonna be something. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: being being a room but really just slamming a vacuum
Speaker 1: into walls just truly just really real stuntman energy. But
Speaker 1: I can't tell you that that roomba. That roomba has
Speaker 1: fucked up three of my pedicures. Oh, because it ran
Speaker 1: over your foot a suff I mean in the most distress.
Speaker 1: So does it How does it work? Does it run
Speaker 1: into your foot fast? How does that work? There's a
Speaker 1: little bit of speed behind it. But it didn't just
Speaker 1: run into my foot. It ran over my foot. Damn.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know they had that type of clearance.
Speaker 1: I did not either until it chipped, like I mean
Speaker 1: always it's always chipping a big toe or a baby jump.
Speaker 1: I thought they were really just sucking floor. And so
Speaker 1: the fact the fact that it could go over that's terrifying.
Speaker 1: I think it's got an alter rain set. Wait, what
Speaker 1: did you say, an alterrain So you think it has
Speaker 1: an alter so to clean, to clean the outside, got
Speaker 1: a four by four setting, so you would let it
Speaker 1: clean a mountain. I think that they have adapted it
Speaker 1: to where because it's like it has to be able
Speaker 1: to go up things because as we go up on
Speaker 1: the carpet go down to the floor, and I think
Speaker 1: it's going over stairs. But it has to deal with
Speaker 1: like probably different heights of things. Okay, so like, fuck,
Speaker 1: let's just put a four by four in this bitch.
Speaker 1: All right, what do you mean? I didn't say anything.
Speaker 1: I said, all right, how did it? If not? How
Speaker 1: if not? Me? When I feel like there's a huge
Speaker 1: amount of middle ground between you, what what you just
Speaker 1: proposed at, what it's actually doing, the way that you're
Speaker 1: the way that you're being Like, if it's not that,
Speaker 1: then what could it be? Is it is not correct
Speaker 1: to me? Are you a scientist? This is what? This
Speaker 1: is what happens? You can't somebody in a while purchase
Speaker 1: action and then they immediately turned on you. Are you
Speaker 1: an engineer? I'm just asking, nigger, are you a scientist? Okay?
Speaker 1: I want answers were Yeah, But the fact that we
Speaker 1: both don't know doesn't mean one of us definitely knows.
Speaker 1: But from a place that you thought you might know. No,
Speaker 1: I'm talking from a place where that does sound right.
Speaker 1: You always do this to me. I always do what
Speaker 1: you always do this to me. You make you sound
Speaker 1: like that I'm saying the wild thing, making it sound
Speaker 1: like les talking about making it sound like yes, making
Speaker 1: it sound as if it is not wild that you
Speaker 1: said that under the room, but is all terrade. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I don't know why to put a
Speaker 1: four by four nitch. I mean, there's truly no way
Speaker 1: to me, at least, no way that carpet comes out
Speaker 1: on top of hardwood. I think that hardwood has laid
Speaker 1: down a literal foundation for a beautiful and picturesque home.
Speaker 1: I think that carpet sometimes it's very easy for carpet
Speaker 1: to be ruined. Let's talk about ruined for a second.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about damage, because you really got to burn hardwood,
Speaker 1: you really got to smash hardwood. Your girl I was
Speaker 1: friends with was having like a party at her parents
Speaker 1: house and her little cousin m went in the den
Speaker 1: with a red drink, okay, and the carpet was like white,
Speaker 1: like a light cream white color. Can we just say,
Speaker 1: very brave, very brave, very brave of them, and all
Speaker 1: of us who were the young adults so like late twenties,
Speaker 1: early thirties, all went like, hey, hey, come back, come back.
Speaker 1: And then her mom was like, oh, he's fine, and
Speaker 1: we went, excuse me, I don't live there, this isn't
Speaker 1: my house. But I was like, oh, I said, they
Speaker 1: look like getting everybody flashbacks. We're not we don't have
Speaker 1: to go on a full tangent, but the bravery, the hubrists,
Speaker 1: the hubrists, the fucking, and then the thing we thought
Speaker 1: it was hubris, but then she was like, no, he's okay,
Speaker 1: and we were no, he's not. He can't be in
Speaker 1: there with that. And not only that, she was like, no,
Speaker 1: he's fine. And then my friend whose mom and whose
Speaker 1: house it was, she was like, you would have never
Speaker 1: let me in there, and we were like, we wouldn't
Speaker 1: have been allowed. And so because we all refused, like
Speaker 1: there was older adults like parent age in there with
Speaker 1: food and drinks. Everybody was in then, like the twenties
Speaker 1: and thirties, would not go in the den unless somebody
Speaker 1: was like, We're like are you sure? Are you sure?
Speaker 1: Are you sure it's okay for us to do this?
Speaker 1: Are you sure? Because of course they have like barbecue
Speaker 1: or something. We all refuse to go in the living
Speaker 1: room because the other issue at played because we were traumatized. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the other. We were truly fucking traumatized. We could
Speaker 1: not even handle the idea. Imagine ruining a part of
Speaker 1: your house or someone else's that's or someone else's that's
Speaker 1: the position the carpet can put you in. You can
Speaker 1: destroy a hardwood floor, Oh it's much harder. There's nothing
Speaker 1: you can do to a hardwood floor that wouldn't also
Speaker 1: destroy a carpet floor. You can't scratch carpet, yeah, but
Speaker 1: you can make a tear. You can, But a tearing
Speaker 1: carpet is much easier to fix than a tearing hardwood.
Speaker 1: You can fuck up a hardwood floor, you can gauge it,
Speaker 1: you can. You can stay in a hardwoodloor, just like
Speaker 1: you and staying a carpet. It's easier to stay in
Speaker 1: a carpet than it is to stay in a hardwood floor.
Speaker 1: But it can be done. Now, I'll stay in for
Speaker 1: me in my house, I would prefer carpet, just because,
Speaker 1: like in a hotel room, I understand not going to harder,
Speaker 1: even though whenever I'm in a hotel room that doesn't
Speaker 1: have carpet, it's always I don't like that either. I
Speaker 1: don't understand what cheaper hotels like. If I was thinking
Speaker 1: at a cheap hotel, please have a hard before. But
Speaker 1: if I'm staying at the London in La bro come on,
Speaker 1: give me some carpet give me a nice luscious you're
Speaker 1: the wildest place I've ever seen carpet. I was the
Speaker 1: Jamie Fox's house and this man had carpet outside that
Speaker 1: went almost right up to the pool. That is that
Speaker 1: is wild. I mean it's a brilliant thing though, because
Speaker 1: that means when you're getting out of the pool and
Speaker 1: you're you know, dripping on the floor, you're drying up
Speaker 1: as you're walking, right. So I'm sure a specific indoor carpet.
Speaker 1: But the thing is it was the same color as
Speaker 1: the carpet from the house. M oh so it really
Speaker 1: makes the pool feel like it's in the living room.
Speaker 1: I got you or you know, it's a continuous thing
Speaker 1: where you're like and it was the softest carpet I
Speaker 1: ever been in my life. I don't know if they
Speaker 1: put foam underneath this outdoor carpet, but the steps down
Speaker 1: to the pool area and then around the pool area,
Speaker 1: it was like spongey soft. What it went. That's wild.
Speaker 1: It was nice, But I'm like, this is a I
Speaker 1: don't to attain those heights m because people are like,
Speaker 1: what's luxury? Okay, yeah, what's luxury? How do you know
Speaker 1: you've made it carpet, by your pool, white carpet, buy
Speaker 1: your pool, Come on, dog, that's kind of life made
Speaker 1: people to live. Right before we go ahead and and
Speaker 1: kick it over to the listener, I want to go
Speaker 1: over some of our pros and cons of each because
Speaker 1: I feel like that would be the most fair. I
Speaker 1: feel like we both agreed that when it comes to
Speaker 1: noise from upstairs neighbors, they could be they could be noisy.
Speaker 1: But carpet has a clear advantage over hardwood. A dulls
Speaker 1: some of the bouncing, some of the walking, some of
Speaker 1: the dropping, you know, whereas a hardwood really echoes cleaning.
Speaker 1: Hardwood's gonna be much easier to clean because of swiffer,
Speaker 1: because of vacuums, because of brooms, and carpet has a
Speaker 1: bit more upkeep in the cleaning department. We talked about injuries,
Speaker 1: and while injuries are gonna be more likely on our hardwood,
Speaker 1: don't think you can't get burned by carpet. It can happen.
Speaker 1: It can happen, which we've all been burned by carpet.
Speaker 1: Don't get it twisted. And the last one is emotional.
Speaker 1: It is it is an aesthetic thing. It's literally what
Speaker 1: do you feel like accompanies your ensemble, the best your
Speaker 1: decore in the home appropriately and for me it's hardwood,
Speaker 1: but for you, I see that it's carpet. But we
Speaker 1: want to know from you the listener, what do you do? What,
Speaker 1: what would you rather if you don't have it? What
Speaker 1: do you like about what you have? And what do
Speaker 1: you think about what we said? Okay, you can let

Speaker 1: we've had in a long conversation we've been in a
Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, Paracelsan's m Yeah, kudos um. But also
Speaker 1: it's I think where this is one where you I'm
Speaker 1: very proud of you because usually get very tactful and
Speaker 1: oh okay, I get a time okay, alright me, no,
