00:00Today's episode is brought to you by Rocket Money, and thank God, because if there's one thing I know about our fans,

00:04it's that you guys really hate giving your hard-earned money to corporations.

00:08Rocket Money helps you figure out what subscriptions are unknowingly sucking you dry like a wild hogfish or that hock to a girl,

00:15and cancel them for you.

00:16I tried it myself and just found out I was paying for so much crap I didn't need.

00:20Apps I don't use anymore, like Tondr, Boober Eats, and Hootube, and publications I don't read anymore, like the New Pork Times.

00:27Rocket Money makes it easy to see all of those subscriptions at once and cancel them with the click of a few buttons.

00:33Rocket Money has helped save its customers up to $740 a year when you use all the app's features,

00:38with over $500 million saved in canceled subscriptions.

00:42It's the app you need to achieve financial freedom.

00:45Plus, Rocket Money can negotiate your bills down for you.

00:49No need to worry about calling customer service, which is great because I'm scared to talk to people on the phone.

00:54That's right, you too duke it out.

01:05One final screw and voila!

01:09Now this is a chair.

01:12Well, I guess that explains these.

01:14What the hell? Why do we have so many extra parts?

01:16I don't know. What do the instructions say?

01:22It says we need six people to put this together.

01:25But with pictures, there are no words?

01:27Okay, well, maybe we missed a step somewhere.

01:30Oh no, you didn't miss anything.

01:32In fact, you did everything perfectly, except buying this piece of crap in the first place.

01:37Hi, I'm Roger of Wayhort.

01:39Wayhort is the quickest, cheapest, and most unethical way to furnish your house.

01:44We're out here converting Europe's last remaining ancient forests into garbage on the daily.

01:49You knew this was a piece of crap?

01:52Everybody knows that.

01:54The front butt chair and damn near everything else we hawk is made of wood scraps glued together with formaldehyde.

02:00Right, but that's what makes it so much cheaper than actual wood.

02:04God, I'd love to be able to afford solid wood.

02:06God, you dream too big.

02:08Well, if you bought this, you probably can.

02:12Particle board furniture is only marginally cheaper than real solid wood.

02:17But it does have way more downsides.

02:20It can't hold a screw, has lower carry capacity, and is very breakable.

02:26But you already knew that.

02:29Well, look on the bright side.

02:31If it hadn't broken now, it would in the next one to five years.

02:35At Wayhort, all our furniture is practically designed for obsolescence.

02:40God, I knew it.

02:41It felt way too light when we took it out of the packaging.

02:44How's your return policy?

02:47Frustrating at best.

02:49It costs more to send it back and have us restock it than you bought it for.

02:53So honestly, you're better off just chucking this stuff into the garbage.

02:58Everyone else does.

02:59What? No, come on.

03:00That's wrong.

03:01It's what we would have done anyway if you sent it back.

03:04There's about 12 billion tons of Wayhort DIY butt rests, DIY sleep surfaces, and DIY dressers that won't close right,

03:13creating mountains of solid waste in landfills all over the country.

03:17Just a bunch of big, stinking piles, taking decades to decompose and release harmful chemicals into the environment.

03:26But who can blame people?

03:29We make our furniture so cheap, it costs more to move than throw away and buy new.

03:34That, and people want the latest styles.

03:38Last year's whole ass chair is this year's front butt after all.

03:42I mean, this isn't bad.

03:44I can probably fix it.

03:45No, you can't.

03:46Then I will recycle it.

03:48Also, no.

03:50OK, upcycle.

03:51I can use this piece for...

03:54These are all very cute ideas, but the front butt and all of our furniture are so full of chemicals,

04:01it's impossible to recycle any of it or upcycle.

04:05It's really just as bad as plastic.

04:08Oh, we just wanted to furnish our place.

04:11Welcome to our disposable economy.

04:14There's solutions out there.

04:15There has to be.

04:16Well, sure, I guess.

04:18I guess you could shop differently, like secondhand thrift stores or online marketplaces.

04:26If I wanted to get harassed by ding-dongs, I'd go down to the Jersey Shore.

04:30That, and I don't have a car to pick up the chair anyway, so...

04:33Stooping?

04:34No, no, she's afraid of bed bugs.

04:37I don't want that heat.

04:38Let's face it.

04:39We can't afford a quality chair that will last a lifetime for $1,500.

04:44We don't have a way to pick up the $500 one off Craigslist.

04:47You could order another front butt.

04:50Will it come damaged?

04:52Absolutely.

04:54That's the Wayhort promise.

04:56I've been Roger, by the way.

04:59From the comments.

05:00Oh.
