0:02

Hunt, a weaker host, stereo, a football

0:04

podcast, on the ring of podcast network,

0:06

if you like soccer or football, make

0:08

sure you search for a stereo, a football podcast,

0:11

on Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

0:23

Hello.

0:23

Welcome a highest take. My name is Chris Ryan. I'm

0:25

here with Sean Finnessy, Bill Simmons, and Tyler

0:28

Parker,

0:28

and Tyler has this one.

0:29

Afoot rest

0:30

should not roll.

0:33

I don't understand.

0:34

huh A

0:36

footrest, an ottoman.

0:38

It

0:38

is for me.

0:40

Who is sitting in this chair? It's not

0:42

for anyone else in the room. Uh-huh. I'm

0:44

sitting here. So I want my feet

0:46

here. I don't want it to roll anywhere

0:49

other than where I I don't I've

0:52

never even thought about this. This is

0:54

This is actually, like, I feel like I just was

0:56

born. I've never ever

0:58

ever ever thought about that. What why

1:00

why are you so mad? I

1:02

hi price

1:04

comfort. China? That means a

1:06

lot to me.

1:06

And

1:07

I don't like it whenever I

1:10

go somewhere and they

1:12

thought, oh, we

1:15

really need to be able to make

1:17

these chairs real the the all this furniture

1:19

needs to be real mobile. Oh, yeah. How often

1:21

are you moving your furniture or modular

1:23

kind of It's in the room that just sort of sits

1:25

there. Right? You're not trying to, like, you know,

1:27

like, you know, functionality doesn't happen every

1:29

day. Right? You're not trying to re reorganize. Have

1:31

you had, like, an original wound here, like,

1:34

where you came you were you were

1:35

sitting down and someone was, like, that actually

1:37

an ottoman that we're gonna put over here now. When you raised

1:39

in a home with an ottoman on wheels? No. I mean, I

1:41

was raised in a home with recliners and happy

1:43

about We have lost recliners in our

1:45

call. It makes me sad. I didn't

1:47

I didn't even really know that until I moved

1:49

up to Chicago. And whenever

1:52

I would sort of Look

1:54

around. No one has a no one has a no one has a

1:56

The LA shit channel and Joey killed it.

1:58

Oh, yeah. I don't recall.

1:59

I feel like the view of the double

2:02

recliner and the idea of reclining with your

2:04

bros? Really

2:05

lost its luster. I feel like you

2:07

and I would love a sixer of haps

2:09

Yeah. And two recliners. Yeah. recliners. I was telling

2:11

you about Martin Scorsese and Robert Robinson

2:13

doing cocaine and watching Vampire movies

2:15

together. Those guys would love some recliners.

2:18

The recliner has been replaced by the massage

2:21

chair.

2:22

Oh. And

2:23

one thing that came and went really fast and

2:25

the late eighties early nineties was the

2:27

futon. Yeah. There was

2:29

a whole futon run that just died.

2:31

Yeah. Yeah. It feels like we've never settled

2:33

on furniture. Now there's this whole

2:36

these sofas that have the half backs.

2:39

Yeah. Who fucking likes those? My wife bought

2:41

one of those. I'm just Oh, cool, fucking dying.

2:43

Yeah. Cool. The top five vertebrae on my

2:45

back. now going in a completely different direction.

2:47

one where the back cushion just goes

2:49

halfway down the couch. Yeah. It doesn't make

2:51

any I don't I'm I probably won't listen

2:53

to the psychics. So why do we ever think that? Yeah. We just

2:55

might be comfortable. I don't I don't know why

2:58

would want to sit on a couch and

3:00

not be able to rest your head against

3:02

the back very easily. I don't like, that

3:04

seems like it should be almost the like, you

3:07

I I wanna be able to do back here

3:09

for listener, I my head is against the back

3:11

of my chair. That's what I want. If

3:13

I if the halfway up

3:15

the back is just going to a certain point,

3:17

I think it's going to start to give me back problems.

3:19

Mhmm.

3:20

Right. So we've gone from initially

3:22

the seventies, eighties was all about comfort

3:24

with furniture because like recliners, big

3:27

fat sofas where you kinda sunk

3:29

into, then nineties

3:32

became about like expediency getting

3:34

stuff on the cheap IKEA. You can get, like yeah.

3:36

IKEA, futons, put

3:38

this shit together, and it's as good as it's

3:41

less expensive. And

3:42

now we're in this weird era of, like,

3:44

fancier stuff that's not comfortable

3:47

that nobody likes and nobody's happy

3:49

with. and

3:49

all of these solutions that have not

3:51

been solved like what Tyler's mentioning. Like,

3:53

why not have the footrest in a place that you'd

3:56

actually be comfortable when you watch TV? Why

3:58

do we have TVs that get mounted? We

3:59

have to crane your neck backwards. You

4:02

know, do you think nobody puts

4:04

comfort into perspective or feelings in adult

4:06

life is? when

4:07

you go into another person's house and you sit down

4:09

and they're couch and they're like, oh, shit. This is so much more comfortable

4:12

than what I would have. Right. Right. I'm so excited. I

4:14

can't believe this

4:15

this sort of humiliation I experience on a

4:18

daily basis in my living room and, like,

4:20

how I, like, prostrate myself for style

4:22

And this guy's got just like a restoration hardware

4:24

leather couch that it's fucking awesome. Well, have you

4:27

ever gone shopping for old furniture?

4:30

the older furniture, like, they just knew how

4:32

to do it in the forties, fifty sixties.

4:35

You're a lot of other chairs. They got,

4:37

like, nothing but l packets. Oh my god.

4:39

So in asbestos What happened?

4:42

How

4:42

do we get here? The

4:43

Swedes? Yeah.

4:44

Careful. And not

4:46

all. Careful. This is full. Just sweet, saved

4:48

audio. And they ruin furniture. I

4:52

think and so ultimately, this is

4:54

more of a take about the

4:56

the broken nature of modern furniture.

4:58

Yeah. Furniture should be comfortable. You know, it should be your

5:00

plan is comfortable. I do

5:02

think that that you it should you should start

5:04

with that. It's like with how in America

5:07

tomatoes, the most important thing for

5:09

the way they judge them is not taste. It's

5:11

how long they last on a shelf. Taste should be

5:13

the first thing. Comfort should be the first thing. How

5:15

do you test the taste of a tomato without

5:17

ruining the tomato? No. I'll say, like, the, like,

5:19

the based off

5:21

of, like, the rules, like, the FDA

5:24

has, the the most important thing

5:26

is shelf life, I see, not

5:28

flavor.

5:30

i

5:31

IIII

5:32

kinda like my furniture. I

5:34

feel fine about everything, honestly. You guys

5:36

need to feel some fucking annoying when you do

5:38

stuff like this. every

5:40

year's being vulnerable and you're just like my life's

5:42

perfect. That's well, that's definitely

5:44

not true. But I

5:47

I think road testing furniture

5:49

is onerous. And I

5:50

also don't want to sit on a couch in a

5:52

store that nine hundred thousand

5:54

other people have sat on you don't sit

5:56

on your on the before you buy something

5:58

else? No. I do. Of course. Because

5:59

there's really no other way to experience it before

6:02

buying it. But Okay.

6:03

Here's what I really would want. And maybe

6:06

this is unrealistic, but that

6:08

t one thousand technology, you

6:10

know, where everything weighs like morphs. Yeah.

6:12

that should just be all furniture. Can't somebody come

6:14

up with You should be able to, like, be, like, now I want it

6:16

to be, like, a leather couch and now I want it to

6:18

be, like, a a sectional changeability.

6:20

morbidability. I think everything was better

6:23

with the stuff in the sixties and seventies. You're

6:25

in you're in We could sit in a comfortable recliner.

6:28

fucking smoke detectors. It

6:30

was awesome. indoors.

6:32

Watch my square TV. You wouldn't

6:34

bought you had to go down to the park. TV

6:36

dinner by Stoeffer's Frenchman pizza,

6:38

and it was Fucking awesome. Were you a

6:40

angry fifteen imagine nineteen

6:43

sixty two. It was on TV. Could you

6:45

change the channel? to

6:47

get up and walk over and get his old

6:49

racist guy to play my play in

6:51

four hours.

6:54
