We talk home decor, modular furniture, and the concept of a “dream home”.
We talk home decor, modular furniture, and the concept of a “dream home”. Also, podcast voices! Do you think we have one?
Georgie 0:09
Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of toast and roast. My voice just broke.
Geoff 0:15
I'm Georgie. You're going through puberty,
Georgie 0:20
and I'm here with Geoff. Oh,
Geoff 0:26
yeah. Like, my cousin used to do that all the time, like, he'll, like, he'll, on purpose, break his voice. I don't know if his voice was breaking at the time, but he's like, I'm a girl. So it says, like, random thing,
Georgie 0:41
I had this friend in school, in high school, whose brother just haven't had a high pitched voice all the time, but people made fun of him because it just it didn't make sense. Like we were like, did your voice ever? You know,
Geoff 0:56
why do boys voices? So
Georgie 0:58
for me, I've always been used to having a pretty low voice, like speaking voice in in my teens, and I'd sometimes answer the phone some telemarketing bullshit, and they'd call me sir, and they think that I was Yeah. So
Geoff 1:16
when was that? Like, 1950
Georgie 1:20
No, like, yeah as in, I was yeah in in high school, so I would have been a teenager. But then, when I started doing public speaking and stuff as like an adult, like in my 20s, and now, when I listen, when I randomly listen to our podcast myself, when I listen to myself, I said I sound like my voice is a lot higher than it used to. Yeah, that's what my experience is like. I had, I thought I had a low voice for a woman, quote, unquote, you know, because women usually have higher pitched voices. And then now I feel like it's actually just normal. I don't know,
Geoff 1:58
you just normalized your feelings about it. I don't think I went through the whole breaking
Georgie 2:06
Yeah, your voice was always like, this statement when you were like two months old.
Geoff 2:12
Yeah, I think definitely in videos that I listened to when a child was like, That was super high pitched, but I don't think I ever had that like, breaking problem, like, I wouldn't start, like super high or sudden, like, break into a different pitch. But, yeah, I don't, I don't know if I ever had that experience. I guess I had a smoother transition than some. It wasn't like night and day. I don't think it was like high pitch one day.
Georgie 2:45
Who is this? Who is this? Sexy voice, person,
Geoff 2:52
deep podcast. Voice, you know,
Georgie 2:54
do you have a podcast? Voice, talk,
Geoff 2:59
no, I don't. I don't think I have a podcast voice. It just my voice. Can it obviously goes through a microphone, and the microphone is doing something to my voice. So I think, I think I do sound very different over the podcast compared to in real life. So cavities and the sinuses, the nose and the back of the throat grow bigger, creating more space in the face, space which gives more voice, gives voice more room to resonate like an
Georgie 3:31
echo chamber in your
Geoff 3:35
face, yeah, yeah. In my face. A boy's body adjusts to this changing economy, because it sounds, no, this is actually like from kids health.org and we should 100% trust nonprofit organizations, okay?
Georgie 3:54
Because, like, changing equipment sounded really weird for
Geoff 4:00
let's see what AI will say about it. Yeah, I am. I think my Chrome or whatever, or some plug in maybe has blocked Gemini because I realized that most people who actually search Google have have Gemini responses where it gives you quick answers, like, Yeah, but very terribly Yeah. Was it Google Gemini, memes? Oops, yeah, memes. And then so draw a group of people. Draw a group of Scottish people. I'm unable to do so it's important to be inclusive and diverse. Could draw an inclusive and diverse people? Oh, and then they just draw, like, black people, same picture, yeah, digital black people. I think there's like, some really good ones where, like, Are there gay Star Wars characters? And says, yes. Oh, my
Georgie 4:58
God, wait. As I. What did they do, as in as they know this is like, legit a good answer, is that? What you mean? Maybe
Geoff 5:06
I feel like the so much worse answers like, how did he block to Gemini? Yeah, I realized that the some of the Gemini answers were just completely wrong, like, should, should I jump off a cliff? And it was just like, yes, absolutely you the chances of, like, whatever, Gemini completely wrong answers. Uh, are sharks older than the moon? Yes, yes. Sharks are significantly older than the moon, just to be around for SB, four 50 million years while the moon is thought to be about 4.5 billion years old. Four 50 million is older than 4.5 billion. Oh, no, that's
Georgie 5:59
wrong. Ass, yeah,
Geoff 6:01
that doesn't make sense. You're right. My previous statement contained in an error. The Moon is much older than sharks. Sharks have been around for us before.
Georgie 6:08
Oh, so you say that, and then it'll like, kind of, yeah,
Geoff 6:12
but you need to know it's wrong. So like, I can't imagine anything like that going down very well with, you know, like, education wise. But, yeah, there was a, there was an Amazon conference, I think the last, last week, last Yeah, couple weeks, and they, they had, they had way too many AI shit. So actually, even people who liked AI didn't go to the AI conferences, and it was really easy to, like, get a ticket for the AI conferences, because no one, oh, wow, okay, would go to them, yeah? But yeah, what we're talking about, again, we're talking about something, something the
Georgie 7:03
voice breaking.
Geoff 7:05
Oh, yeah, the voice breaking. But yeah, don't know. Don't know. Did you Did your brother go through the voice break? Fairly seriously, I
Georgie 7:14
don't think so. I don't notice, like I I don't think it was that obvious. I feel like his voice is the same, maybe as well.
Geoff 7:26
Yeah, yeah, oh, I still have this, I still have this link to this couch.
Georgie 7:31
Okay, wait, hang on. Why were we talking about this? Or you, no,
Geoff 7:36
I don't think I we're looking we were looking for a catch like I think maybe, when have we moved here? No one knows what
Georgie 7:44
the time is. You're just like, when we moved here, you were looking for a catch at some point,
Geoff 7:50
yeah, because the space is quite large. So we were like, huh, we could actually fit a bigger catch, and it was either a bigger desk or bigger catch. So this was one of the bookmarks that I apparently felt so important to put on the
Georgie 8:07
team. Do you both have a desk?
Geoff 8:10
Yeah, we both have a desk. Not in the same room. Yeah, that's the study, the second bedroom, eight. Here the study. Well, again, how? What's
Georgie 8:18
your opinion on on on desk size.
Geoff 8:24
Oh, I don't know. I keep a pretty minimal setup. So I feel like 60 centimeters, 60 by
Georgie 8:35
Wait, no 121
Geoff 8:37
2120 by 60 is probably, I
Georgie 8:39
think mine's maybe 120, by potentially 90. I've kind of forgotten
Geoff 8:46
in inches for our friends over this, friends over the sea,
Georgie 8:53
because I find it soft. Some people really like to have a very big desk. And I'm like, but what for? I mean, if you have multiple, yeah, sure, I understand. But
Geoff 9:03
I think one, I think 170 is probably more 170 so 47.24 by 27.56 inches.
Georgie 9:16
Yeah, yeah. I can't remember exactly how big mine is, but I'd say it's about that size or not too far off?
Geoff 9:24
Yeah, I think the depth of mine is a little too shallow. But since I have the monitor arm that can push my monitor, like fairly back, back towards the edge of my desk, it doesn't have much of a space. Doesn't have space taken up by stand. Yeah, I think I've been making this work, but I would enjoy a deeper disc. I
Georgie 9:50
think mine might be 90. I don't know. It's like, I'd get my measuring tape out and measure but like, I don't know where I put my measuring tape.
Geoff 9:56
90 is tiny, no, as in like 90 D.
Georgie 9:59
Deep. I think it's actually deep, because there was another option, because I got mine from Ikea, it's basic. There was another one to get it a little bit shallower. And when my mom saw my desk, she was like, your your monitors actually far away. And I'm like, is that a good thing or a bad thing? And she was like, No, it's because you're not, like, right at the screen. But she thought that the desk was therefore quite deep. But
Geoff 10:27
I don't mind it. I just don't ergonomic. Some
Georgie 10:30
people want, like, a really long desk, and they put things on, yeah,
Geoff 10:35
yeah. I used, I used to have a 160 centimeter desk
Georgie 10:39
that's, like, taller than six on length ways, yeah, like, it's,
Geoff 10:43
it's like, it's like, the height of me, it's 162 and 62.9 inches. And that's because I got a kitchen countertop for my Kia. The problem with kids kitchen counters back then, yeah, I used as a desk. I I bolted on some legs from Ikea, and did that classic Ikea hack, where you get a kitchen table. So was it? The top part was the table, the kitchen table, yeah, the kitchen counter was the top part. Oh, is it just sold individually? And then the Yes, it was sold there. We bought them separately, or I bought them separately, and then I drilled some holes and kind of, like, is
Georgie 11:21
that really a hack? If it takes that much effort, I feel like that's, I mean,
Geoff 11:25
it's like a hack, because IKEA never intended for a kitchen top table to be actual.
Georgie 11:31
They've seen the headphone like, they use, like, some random clip thing to be like that you put on the edge of a desk and then you hang your head,
Geoff 11:37
yeah, like the big ass, like, like a clip. That's not quite a hack, because, I mean, the clip exists, and it just clips onto things. But in any case, it was, it was too shallow, like the kitchen countertop. Shallowness looks too shallow back then. Like the depth was, I don't know, like maybe 50 or 40, not even 60, kitchen counter tops. Anyways, so for for a while, oh, God, this is really annoying kitchen for a while, like that was supposed to, like it housed, like, I had speakers. I had, like, not very much else besides speakers and maybe jewel screens. So that's why, like, the desk was really long. But I've grown to really enjoy an ultra wide oak, yeah? So they're like, Oh, this is not even the depth, because it's just like the Yeah, 6325 inches. I feel like they've got, yeah, let me check what my desk is.
Georgie 13:01
Oh, yeah. Wait, hang on, do I have a book? I think I have the book. Can't sit and stand, yeah, desk, but can they still, they still sell it, because I got mine seven years ago, or something like that. So it's Yeah,
Geoff 13:15
I think they still sell it. The
Georgie 13:19
funny thing is, before I bought it, I looked at reviews, and I saw this Reddit post where someone showed that it had basically fucked up, like it broke and I freaked out, but then I was like, I don't know, what are you doing? It's not like, I'm abusing this and like changing between sit, stand multiple times. But that's
Geoff 13:38
the really funny thing about reading reviews of people who like you headphones before, right? Like, how, how, like, how light is light usage and how, like delicate are you actually saying you handling it with care or something. So I think this is 60. The top is 60 by 120 Yeah, on four, like 120 by 160 I remember I had to get this exact size, because my old place there was only this exact was it like a study space, not really. It's just sort of like I had, I had, like a window, and then next to the window was the only piece of solid wall, oh, like I had a cabinet there, so I couldn't, I had to go with whatever it was, the window size, and there was 120 that's, that's kind of what I remember. But apparently it doesn't exist anymore. The this is 120 by 170
Georgie 14:46
Mine's the motorized some of these are the hand crank, whatever they're called.
Geoff 14:53
I actually got this one. It has adjustable legs, but no crank or anything. So it's technically, like, you could go in there with the tool specifically, and then, like, adjust the nuts and bolts, and then raise it. And they call that a sit, stand, for some reason, you
Georgie 15:11
have to take the whole thing apart too. No, there's a little exposed,
Geoff 15:15
like, bolt, and you can, like, adjust that.
Georgie 15:20
Okay, weird, okay,
Geoff 15:23
I didn't plan to stand anyways, so, like, that's fine. Also, cranking things is just not mine. It's not
Georgie 15:31
your style.
Geoff 15:35
It's not my style.
Georgie 15:37
So back to your sexy couch.
Geoff 15:41
Is it XC? It's it's only 3000 Too bad it comes with an otter. Man,
Georgie 15:47
okay, so you were thinking of getting a bigger couch because you had more space. Yeah, did you get the couch? No, it didn't have the couch that you were gonna dump
Geoff 15:58
basically. Yeah,
Georgie 16:01
it's just a regular.
Geoff 16:03
It is. It is one of the castle. Re, catches,
Georgie 16:08
she feels so booge. I feel like the showroom, like,
Geoff 16:13
Oh, you went to a showroom. I bought this site on, well, I
Georgie 16:16
didn't, I didn't go in. I walked around at other like, furniture, things, and I walk past the castle, re one because, like, like, that looks really fancy. Yeah,
Geoff 16:28
I think, I don't think they sell the catch anymore. Like my catch, do you know how many centimeters
Georgie 16:33
long it is? It's
Geoff 16:36
120 that's small. Everything I own is 120 being
Georgie 16:39
small. I mean, sorry. I apologize to anyone who actually thinks that that is a standard size.
Geoff 16:47
Yeah, like it's a two seater, because, of course, I didn't have enough space. I have an otter man that came with it. But it was the idea that if I needed more couches, couch space, I would get a second one of them, like a three seater plus a two seater. Oh, really, that was your idea. What would be a whole set like if I had more space? So it was more of an expansion type thought. So I think this is so
Georgie 17:17
an expansion rather than a replacement. You mean?
Geoff 17:21
So, yeah, we could keep it and just have it at like, a right angle, right hand angle, where you have the two seater and then the three seater, but
Georgie 17:30
then, wouldn't you care about it matching, and you'd want to get a kind of, oh no,
Geoff 17:35
if, if the, if I were to, if I, if I weren't, like, if I needed to get some kind of setup, I chose the two to two seater so that I would get a matching three seater eventually. And, you know, do the whole thing, yeah, but too fair. There is just not enough space here for that combination. So I'm just gonna get, might get
Georgie 17:59
rid of so I recently, like, got a new couch, and I was thinking about the configuration, right? And, like, I wanted an L shaped couch, like, you know what I'm talking I think, I think the one you were looking at is similar, like, the L can be, like, a full corner each side of the L.
Geoff 18:19
You just get one of these,
Georgie 18:23
lounge is that, what it's called, where it's like, yeah, yeah. Chase, which really fixed so, like, they're not, not one of these, like a bed,
Geoff 18:30
Dawson sectional sofa in a pit. It's like a pit, yeah? There you go. Yes, yeah. There you get L
Georgie 18:40
shaped ones that are like, L shaped with like, yeah, like a chase or like, you can either move the long or the otter in part so that the L can be in a different orientation, yeah. But there are some where it's fixed and you can't change it, but all of them are actually so long, like on the long l part. So I was like, damn it, there's not enough room. Like, almost bit, and some of them even, like the two, I think it was very particular about this. So there's like a two two seater, quote, unquote, with a chase. But then it's like half of the whole thing is the chase. And you're like, is that actually going to be comfortable to sit on? Like, I think it was just a novel thing for me that I wanted the L, but then I'm like, if you have a separate Ottoman that you can just move around freely, you can put your legs on that thing, like a chain, or like an L shaped so far. But someone can also just randomly sit on the otter man when you have people over. So that
Geoff 19:39
was exactly the idea. It was sort of like, I need more seating space, but, but nowhere to put it. So you kind of go with the or you get one of these that you can split it up, split it in half, and more, rebuild your own, I don't know. Yeah, the module. Ones are pretty good. Oh, man. Speaking of modular, we gotta, we gotta talk about MUJI. Oh,
Georgie 20:08
also, I have an armchair already, right? So it was like it made kind of stupid sense to buy a whole ass, like three seater otterman Chase. It was like you've already got an armchair for somebody to sit in. Do you really need, like, a whole ass
Geoff 20:24
shape thing? Yeah, I recently watched this YouTube record, Mr. Who's the boss. And he was, he just bought a new, a brand new house, his dream house, they all says, anyways, so basically, they went balls to walls with everything, like, like, every room in the house was just like peak, like, peak technology, peak like, peak everything. And he, he went, when, when they, when they were working out the living room. Mind you, they have a theater room. Oh, yeah. They went with, like, the theater room separately, yeah? Theater separate room to the living room. But still, they went with, like the the most didn't actually go with the most expensive TV. They went with the TV that looks like a, like a art frame, okay? Like the Samsung frame, which basically has a matte texture, like, it really light matte texture, so it looks like a painting. Yeah, cool. But then it's actually a TV. But in any case, they got these massive, expensive, I don't know, really professional grade, standing speakers. I'm like, you have a theater room. What are you doing this for? Yeah, this is a living room. Mr. Who's the boss? Is the boss. I'll just show you the finished product, boss, living room. But what they really liked, oh, God, you were like search all your Yeah, the search thing is incognito, so it's really hard to set up. Okay, Mr. Boss, living room. Anyways, the most extra thing is that they actually, yeah. The problem I have with it is that they have a catch, a massive catch, and one of the a really massage chair, like a recliner, kind of squishy, yeah, recliner chair. Let's skip to the end.
Georgie 22:38
Whoa. What the fuck that's so futuristic. Yeah,
Geoff 22:43
yeah. They have, like, the super Pokemon themed, if you can't tell, oh, okay. But you can kind of see they went with a curve to catch a half circle and a round coffee table already looks like a Pokeball in the middle. Oh, my God, that's really smart, actually. But yeah, yeah, holy shit. They didn't intend it to look like someone point that out, or did they realize it? I don't know. I don't know if they realized it or not, but they you can see the like, the massage chair in the back, okay? And it's just so weird, like, why is it? Because it's already there. They're apparently, really, really bold. I mean, he's, he's got the 20 million subscribers, I'm sure he's been saving for like ages, but so they have two singular chairs and a big catch, and this, this already looks like too crowded for me. Yeah. I mean, it's interesting
Georgie 23:41
what people like prefer, right? So it's like, I mean, I got my armchair because I wanted a chair that was not my desk, so it was already there. So when I was looking for a new couch, I was like, Well, I have to deal with the armchair I already have because I want to keep the armchair. But,
Geoff 24:01
yeah, so um. The other thing that you that I wanted to also like exclaim about is
Georgie 24:11
Geoff. I feel like sometimes you're very generally, actually quite neutral. So when you exclaim about something like, wow, this is gonna be a big deal.
Geoff 24:20
So they wanted, they wanted to Pokemon theme their their house, obviously, or this living room at least. This is just that. That's just post, post. So basically they went with under catch lighting for one but the other thing is that they had, they had this, like, really massive shelf built, I think maybe custom built, yeah, but it's like they went to that thing, right? Yeah, wall unit, yeah. So they saw a wall unit, and it's cost, like, whatever, how many, much, amount, but this is, this is where it gets. This is the kicker. Okay? They, they basically went through the internet and bought everything that was going to go on that shelf. It wasn't existing stuff they had. Wait.
Georgie 25:10
So wait, what were they? Were they looking for something specific, or they were looking for decor,
Geoff 25:15
everything Pokemon. They were just like living out their dream,
Georgie 25:19
yeah. But before could you say, Oh, no.
Geoff 25:22
So they, they decided to get the shelf, yeah, but they had nothing to put in it. Okay, so that's what you're everything to put in it, yeah, okay. They purposefully went and bought, yeah, 1000s and 1000s of dollars of merchandise to put on this shelf.
Georgie 25:39
So in your experience, would you normally have, oh, I've got these precious like frames and stuff and, yeah, I will get a thing to put the stuff in. Yeah, yeah, no, I see. I mean,
Geoff 25:55
I assumed they had a lot of like stuff. They couldn't. They had no space to put up, but they just went through and bought everything that they ever wanted, like Pokemon wise, on off the internet, and then just said, Yep,
Georgie 26:10
I get, I think I get your, your, your gripe with this. It it feels annoying to me, like, and I don't know, I don't know if elitist is the right word, something that doesn't feel quite right about get it. So I know someone who's like this with like software and like cool apps and things, and they're like, Oh, this is such a nice app, and I want to use it. And they will then fucking find a use, like a thing to do just so
Geoff 26:42
they can use that doesn't make
Georgie 26:44
sense. Like, why? Like, I get it like you. Like,
Geoff 26:47
why introduce the cluster? Yeah, in your life, introducing a
Georgie 26:51
thing, like you like this thing, but you have no use for it. So what? And I mean, like, you're a minimalist, right? Like, I still kind of identify as one too. It's like, I would not buy a thing because it looks nice and shit and then, but actually, like, it's like someone buying a car, like a Ferrari, and they can't, they just
Geoff 27:10
don't ever own it, yeah, they can't drive.
Georgie 27:13
They live somewhere where you got to drive, like, 40k is an hour every everywhere, and let the school zone,
Geoff 27:20
yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just, it's just, I mean, I know everyone has their hobbies, but this is kind of, it's kind of extreme. But what I did like about this video, and I think that this like justifies the shelf in some way, is that they don't, they don't when they go on holidays. Yeah, they decided that the best souvenir is picking a really good photo from the trip and printing it and putting it up here. Oh yeah, that's not as the souvenir instead of magnets and what you have you, we just actually bought magnets from Japan. So we started, like, a two magnet collection. I'm like, You know what? Maybe not, decided it's not, really not. But my mom has a lot of magnets from her trips. I feel like
Georgie 28:12
you're either a magnet person or you're not.
Geoff 28:16
I think they look really nice, though. And I do have the cabinet behind me, yeah. And I was thinking, Can we like, can we like, put it in there somehow, instead of putting it on the fridge where it collects dust,
Georgie 28:29
like, because people do this, like, photos and other like, like, a pegboard or some kind of board that you can then display the board, because people collect, like, pins and badges and stuff. And it's like, you don't wear them all time, or you don't want to put them like, out, so they act like out, so they actually have a display thing for that. So maybe there's a similar thing for, like, magnets, but
Geoff 28:48
yeah, I mean, you already see there's like, massive gaps in all of the Yeah, it's just not very con Mari. You like, you don't create. You don't buy storage just to put more things in.
Georgie 29:07
Yeah, you buy storage because you need to put something somewhere. Yeah, you need
Geoff 29:11
to put something in. Have a use for it. But what was really cool about this is that they they obviously like their lighting as a as a tech channel. So they, they wanted, they went to an interior designer. They were like, Oh, we want, we want bold colors, because they're bold color people. And then they were like, Oh, we got the advice that it should be neutral, because then you can, because then you can actually change the color scheme anytime you want. With the with the pillows, like they can go from blue to like yellow theme really easily. So all the all the blankets, and went yellow, and they put out the Pikachu play. Cheese and what have you. But yeah, it's, yeah, that's why you kind of go with neutral colors. I guess they bought expensive hue like, like this, this lamp in that corner, which it looks like a bowl, yeah, in that in the corner, they both bought two of these. Are they adjustable, like, the angle? Can they? Yeah, I think so. But they're not bright enough. So, like, they're just like, spots of light that don't actually, like, emit anything, eliminate anything. But, yeah, this is the same comment about, Oh, right. They keep score on their games. It's just the weirdest thing. But they keep score.
Georgie 30:47
I mean, like, I sometimes families have those things, like, around their house where they've got like, stuff from the kids, or like, whatever,
Geoff 30:56
yeah, but he's just going through his house one by one, room room by room, and ah, his new office. I didn't realize this, but it was an office for his business. They, they actually, they actually got this moss wall commissioned for indoors. And I'm like, That's kind of crazy,
Georgie 31:23
like astroturf kind of shit. It's no
Geoff 31:26
it's a natural living moss. It's real. So how
Georgie 31:29
do you do you spray, like, water spraying? Yeah, I
Geoff 31:33
don't know. I think he gets gardeners to come in. Now this is, again, creating costs where not necessary.
Georgie 31:41
I know is this guy loaded. He already sounds like he must,
Geoff 31:45
I mean, clearly, I mean, it's business expense, right? He got sponsors for some of these things as well. So they reached out and like they gave us this moss wall. And I think the most ridiculous thing was their bed. I can't remember what the bed cost, but yeah, they got some really premium bed, like, horse hair, gr, like, what? Yeah. So they went around and tried, like, the creme de la Oh, but I think Drake owns this bed too. Okay, if that's any indicator I love that
Georgie 32:29
there's a Starbucks cup in the border. It's like,
Geoff 32:32
yeah, here's
Georgie 32:34
my expensive house. But I buy shit from Starbucks,
Geoff 32:38
so yeah, so you can get it, you can get it to any size you want. Oh, custom like, you can do the measurements, yeah, custom size. This Stingray lever version,
Georgie 32:53
out the base part or whatever. Yeah, the base partly, I don't like the style of that looks kind of tacky,
Geoff 33:00
yeah, so they went with the non. So every room in their house has an en suite.
Georgie 33:07
Wait every so, like,
Geoff 33:12
Oh no, not the theater room, but the guest rooms, both guest rooms have en suites. Where did I live? The UK, I think, oh,
Georgie 33:23
UK, well, I had this whole time was thinking it was like us
Geoff 33:27
where Hastings bed, all right, let's go Google. Hastens, yeah, I'm not, I'm not shitting on him, but I'm just kind of questioning some of the, some of the purchase choices that so
Georgie 33:49
What's your stance on it? What's your what's your hot take?
Geoff 33:55
Ah, man, I don't know. They probably like didn't have to go so hard on some things. I don't know if everything they bought was was as impactful as you might think. He actually admitted that this bed was a mistake because, like, you can only get a bed can only get so good without technology, the
Georgie 34:19
custom size as well. How fuck do you get bed sheets that are gonna fucking fit?
Geoff 34:26
Well? Do you get them from them? That's an apple, apple experience. I don't think you need bed sheets. That's fuck technically the fucking thing. What if you like, they come in, they come and fluff it for you for tea.
Georgie 34:40
What if you jizz on it?
Geoff 34:46
You just don't, you just don't choose on a $60,000 bed.
Georgie 34:51
So you have so let me guess they have a bed for sleeping, and they have a bed for, like, doing sexy things.
Geoff 34:58
I don't know. They have so many rooms. With other other bed for bed, mattress. I'm sure they have worked something
Georgie 35:07
good. Grace says
Geoff 35:09
$30,000 on a mattress. Absolutely, that's US dollars. Yeah, exactly. And how much was the
Georgie 35:17
couch, the Pokeball, whatever, curved couch, or whatever,
Geoff 35:20
I don't know how much their cash. Does anyone like, has anyone done it? Like, calculate, Mr. Oh my
Georgie 35:31
god, you all like digging in, guys like, like,
Geoff 35:33
rooms, he's, he's, he's done he's done it. He did it himself. Like, at the end of the cost, yeah, room cost. He does it himself. He like, throughout the video, he'll, he'll tell you how much everything costs. But yeah, yeah. I mean, did he need that? I mean, I'm sure it, like feels really great. But he himself said that it was a, it was a big mistake, because we have, there's a thing called Eight Sleep, I think I've spoke about it. I think you have, it's basically a mattress cover that can regulate the heat through water cooling and water heating, yeah, on two sides of the bed
Georgie 36:17
mattress.
Geoff 36:19
Yeah, you can get the Eight Sleep mattress if you wanted to, but you can get a mattress topper. And he's like, Well, this is just a bed, and a bed can only be so good. Yeah, the mattress topper, with technology is arguably like, more like, more bang for like, more effective, I guess. Yeah, like, you can
Georgie 36:43
ordinary bed with that thing, instead of getting, like, some expensive as bed that claims to have, like, nice shit or whatever.
Geoff 36:52
Yeah, they also said you can't cover it with the eight sleep because that removes, like the horse has ability to breathe. The horse hair is also naturally not a wicking and it was sort of like, this is the type of thing that's like, really old school and a queen would have it. But it's because they just don't clean their bed, or they like it, like, like, they like the bed exactly how it is all the time. Yeah, but Yeah,
Georgie 37:19
somebody didn't think about their purchase before they purchase.
Geoff 37:24
They felt, they felt their purchase, not thought about the purchase, because they went and slept in these beds. And then, of course, you go from Herman Miller to a IKEA chair, you're not going to get the same effect.
Georgie 37:40
Okay, so you said we don't. You were gonna, like, say something Mooji modular stuff.
Geoff 37:45
Yeah, yeah. Mooji has, for those who don't know
Georgie 37:49
I probably, I was in the shop the other day, but I don't know modular fern. Oh, she has furniture. Oh, yeah, I saw a bean bag in there the other day. I was a, hey, it's not that's not a bad bean bag. I was a bean bag. It's more of a pillow, like one of those soft, cool touch pillows,
Geoff 38:07
yeah, but because we can't get it in Australia,
Georgie 38:12
oh, is it not? Yeah, did you fucking buy the EU,
Geoff 38:16
UK? No, no. I Don think you can even get it in in Japan, okay,
Georgie 38:23
why did they, why did they do that in the UK? Do you know why?
Geoff 38:28
I have no idea why. Doing this only in the UK or EU. It's kind of wild. So you can get beds and you can get surface
Georgie 38:37
and foot stools, Japanese IKEA,
Geoff 38:40
right? Yeah. So all of these are, of course, like kind of low. Maybe I can find, maybe images will give you a better yeah, I don't if this is the right one that I saw before. Oh, yeah. So this is like the, okay, the floor sitting style, right? Oh, okay, where you have it so close to the floor, or even flat on the floor, yeah? Like this.
Georgie 39:18
But even though it's flat on the floor, isn't it still the height is like a standard? Yeah, I'm not sure we had something similar in when we used to have an office, we had these big, chunky, like lounges that were like, they sat on the floor without any kind of framing or whatever, but you'd still sit on it like, pretty much, like a normal like, it was normal height. I don't
Geoff 39:44
think there's a normal height. You think it's just too high. I actually think it's low. Because if you think of a cabinet like the TV cabinet height, it's just like the shorter than the TV cabinet height, so and then the TV so high when. Is obviously not but I feel like if you go with low with the catch, everything has to be low. Yeah, you got a match.
Georgie 40:08
Maybe the cabinet, TV cabinets actually low already as well.
Geoff 40:12
That's true, but I did think about getting like a floor seated catch, just for that extra minimalism, yeah?
Georgie 40:23
Because, like, now, yeah, now that I think about, I'm like, it's kind of easier to kind of move and whatever those things when it's like, nice, there's a nice look about it, instead of it being like, yeah,
Geoff 40:33
seamless, yeah, yeah. The you probably can't clean it if it's not, like, if it's not absolutely on the floor, then yet, I don't think it's worth it. Yeah, sounds actually connected to the floor. Yeah.
Georgie 40:52
You either have legs and you vacuum under it, or you just, like, don't just sit on the damn floor.
Geoff 40:57
Yeah. I know people who have catches, like, like, this whole just pillow on the floor. Yeah,
Georgie 41:04
think of it. It's actually kind of cute, in my opinion.
Geoff 41:08
Yeah, I think it's, I think it's cute, but I don't think it's like, 100% practical, yeah, I don't think
Georgie 41:15
it's like, why don't you just put a mattress on the
Geoff 41:17
floor, like, you just live like a hope. Now the I get the appeal of the randomness, but it's got to be something hard to clean. Yeah, maybe easier to clean because you can just chuck the whole pillow out there,
Georgie 41:39
move it like you don't have to carry it. You can just push it. I don't know. This is what it was like with the ones that we had in our office, like, you just pushed them, but they were very because they were still big, it was unwieldy. But they had these, like, leather handles on the side as well. So you could kind of, I think I've kind of pull them, toss them, or whatever. Yeah, yeah. I
Geoff 41:57
think I've seen them, yeah. Oh yeah. These couches are very low. Oh, this season, imagine
Georgie 42:03
the one on the left is not very comfortable. I feel like your back would just like cock
Geoff 42:07
it. It's about style. It doesn't it's for comfort
Georgie 42:11
is very important to me.
Geoff 42:17
But in any case, they apparently only sell it in the EU. Maybe not.
Georgie 42:22
You can even buy the legs on there,
Geoff 42:25
yeah, maybe not even J like MUJI, JP furniture Japan. But ma'am, yeah, Japan is always good, even with the crowds. Oh, they do sell it, okay, my bad. Their store is so big, the main store, where is it? What it's in Ginza, which is next to Tokyo Station, and it's like 10
Georgie 43:01
floors. Fucking sick.
Geoff 43:04
The first floor is like it's the corner of the first floor is a Patisserie. Yeah, of course, you can't get away without a Patisserie. The rest of it is like a pantry, like floor to seal, floor to ceiling, shelves of packets of food. Yeah. Oh, look so, so fun. That looks interesting.
Georgie 43:30
That looks like someone just got a pillow and folded it. Oh, it is like, totally, it is a pillow. It's adjustable. So funny. Oh, man,
Geoff 43:43
it's hilarious. If only real estate in Japan wasn't so expensive, and their furniture probably
Georgie 43:55
there's some cute stuff.
Geoff 44:00
Here we go. Those couches are the little stubby legs. Nah. We need all the you don't.
Georgie 44:09
Hey, why don't you make a couch fully out of ottermans that just sit on the could you do that? You probably could just put, like three in a row, and then I don't know how you did the back, but you didn't find a taller, skinny
Geoff 44:27
or, I think for the back, I'd imagine I was already doing this, a, like, a U shaped Table, maybe even a frame, yeah, like six, like 3030, to 30 centimeters deep, yeah, frame, hollow in the middle, yeah, or full. Just put it behind. Put it behind the couch. Yeah, the exact same dimensions of the couch. So you get a coffee table. I. Oh, without having a coffee table in front of you. So you can put a charger in there. Oh, you can put your cups of whatever in there. Yes, okay, that's interesting. Yeah, it's just, it just you just don't, like, sit so hard on your couch and, like, knock over anything in the back, but you can put, like, you know, diffuser candles or whatever. Have you not lit candles? But, yeah, it's just that. It's a space that I thought was like weird that didn't like my couch is quite thick at the back, and you can almost, we put our phones there all the time, yeah? Like you can sit so make it a table. Yeah, yeah. Just make it a table. Yeah,
Georgie 45:41
that's kind of clever,
Geoff 45:44
yeah, and then you can, I thought about so many different things because my bow department was just horrible to deal with uninspired in terms of spacing, yeah? So I won't fall out like, could I? Could I get like, one seamless surface, like wrapping around the room, so I would
Georgie 46:06
have Yeah, nice, yeah, like, yeah, built into the TV
Geoff 46:09
stand, built in, yeah, yeah. People who don't have houses really, really think about all this stuff that are pretty much purpose built for houses, but
Georgie 46:23
I think it's more fun. I just feel, if you have a house, you just got so much space that you just don't run into these problems. Like, yeah,
Geoff 46:31
I mean, our ideal house is, like, two bedroom, two bath, maybe three minutes. Like, that's for your needs, right?
Georgie 46:38
Like, so that's what you know, when you said, what's his face, Mr. Who's the boss, is like, dream home? I was like, Yeah, people say that. And for some reason, that puts an idea in your mind of, like, some five bedroom mansion with like a basement, and like, oh, you know, that's one last, I don't one last, yeah, I don't know if I have a dream home. Because, like, I feel like, when I was younger, I maybe I was like, Yeah, live in a big house. But then as as I've become, like, older, I'm like, thinking of practicality, right? Like, how much would it suck to clean a room, a house with five rooms, if you have a pool, man, you got to deal with a pool. Like, fuck that. I probably wouldn't have a pool,
Geoff 47:19
you know? Like, yeah, yeah. And then you need to get a robot vacuum for both floors that that's just and a robot vacuum that goes upstairs.
Georgie 47:29
Yeah. I feel like there are things that I like that are pretty novel. But then, in practicality, I'm like, nah. So, like, I was like, do I want, like, some kind of split level mezzanine bitch, kind of there, like, I am, for some reason, obsessed with split level, but the ceilings are really high, and I'm like, like, I inspected a few places. And I'm like, How the fuck do you clean that fucking cobweb out of the corner that's still there? And, you know, like, things like that, yeah. And then I got beat it out by the fact that in a split level there's no door. So if there's a bed up in the split level, you're like, Oh, okay. Like people can just walk up and see my I mean, whatever, right, who's
Geoff 48:08
gonna walk through the front door? Do you keep it unlocked? Oh, yeah. The other thing that people probably don't think about is, like, the the egg shape, egg shaped bathtubs, eggs.
Georgie 48:22
It is yeah, versus where, like
Geoff 48:25
yeah and how hard it is to clean. And egg shapes,
Georgie 48:28
like the free standings, tend to be that way, right? Is that what we mean, yeah? Whereas the ones that are built with a shower on top or whatever, like more tub already
Geoff 48:38
think Bathtubs are Yeah, bathtubs are a waste of time, but yeah, like this, like, how do you clean the base of the
Georgie 48:47
you just gotta get down, dirty down, put it against
Geoff 48:51
the wall. And you just like, Oh, my God, only rich people wouldn't care about cleaning it, because they would need they would bring a cleaner. And, yeah, I think it's not so much of a problem if it's, like, super freestanding, like this one,
Georgie 49:07
yeah, because you don't have to clean, like, around,
Geoff 49:11
yeah? But if it's wall to wall, it's just like, what do you what are you gonna do? Just a room
Georgie 49:20
with a bathtub in the middle, but they have that in those fancy like places to stay they just got bought. Does the Hattie clean? The ones that they just fucking put on the patio or whatever, the outdoor ones, the forest?
Geoff 49:34
Yeah, the the the beautiful view, maybe not so beautiful for other people
Georgie 49:43
to look at, yeah, but it depends, right? Like, if it's very, like isolated, then no one's gonna see shit.
Geoff 49:52
But yeah, one last point about the the ideal like magic. Yeah. I. A streamer by the name of a Valkyrie, mom's house.
Georgie 50:09
Wait, so the streamers Valkyrie, but the mom is
Geoff 50:11
yeah, the mom's house,
Georgie 50:16
yeah, speaks up after the hate tweets about her mom's house. Okay, why do we
Geoff 50:22
so? If you have a look at this, like, really small photo, like, this is a house in the Philippines. Why is your
Georgie 50:30
mom living in a house like that? Okay, so that's her mom's
Geoff 50:33
house. So that's her mom's house. It's like a like, three story, mostly concrete beige and the bottom story is double door, garage, and then, and then you got the other two stories above it. It's
Georgie 50:49
like a terrace. And it's
Geoff 50:50
like, it's like a terrace, yeah, oh yeah. The photos are of evacuee, like her mom is so proud of her daughter that she she has posters up on the back. Okay, anyways, so the hate that she was receiving is exactly that you're a multi millionaire. Why is your mom living in a house like that? Okay, so the context that people don't quite understand is where this house, Philippines, right? Philippines? That
Georgie 51:23
would be a fairly good
Geoff 51:25
Exactly, exactly. No one in the this is a mansion in the Philippines. But the people's idea of a mansion is not the Philippines mansion, obviously. And she's like what people don't understand is that her mom's had lots of upgrades. She has running hot water, a shower and Internet, and that is like easily the top 1% of every house in Philippines like that. That's all you need to be 1% in in in the Philippines, and who saw you that that is a luxury, like, Do you need more than that? And while other people don so this is her mom's third house to the she have three. She's got three houses. She's got three houses. So she's got one the Philippines, which is the family home. She's got one in Washington, DC, or whatever that she's thinking of selling, and she's got another holiday house somewhere else in in Asia, yeah? So she's like, You have no right to hate because, you know, my mom is the most spoiled ass, yeah? Person already, but
Georgie 52:45
people really ignorant, like, because it must be just people, like, in Western countries, who just don't know, like, probably just all American, right? Yeah, exact idea of, like, a expensive
Geoff 52:58
house, and we have tick tock and Instagram to thank for all the inflated ideas of
Georgie 53:06
of what a dream should be.
Geoff 53:10
Yeah, I have a dream tent. It's what I'm living in
Georgie 53:15
one of those glamping
Geoff 53:19
Oh, we did go glamping in Japan, but that's a story for another day, because we're out of time. All right, how do we end this again?
Georgie 53:31
Quips, but anyways, oh, you know what's not a dream?
Geoff 53:36
Do you know what's not to do with the house the ending to this episode? Do Yeah. And then you quit,
Georgie 53:47
what is it? Oh, you can find a wait. Is that me? Oh, no, you find us. You can find episodes on Apple podcasts, Spotify and the big house in the Philippines.
Geoff 54:03
Yeah, new episodes every Monday. So see you next week, because that's the word that's a
