This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show. Also, we're going to talk about Scary's couch. It happened. I'm sorry, it's a sofa. It is a sofa, not a couch. Okay. You want to get into that first? So everyone in the room can hear what happened?

0:21.8

Yeah.

0:22.1

I guess so. Well, I was... You said you sold it? Yeah, it's sold. I'm moving, and I'm getting rid of the damn thing. It's had 20 years of service, by the way. Service? Of 20 years? I've had this thing. Sick. But it was a very expensive piece that at the time I splurged and I paid like $4,500 for it.

That was like 19 years ago.

0:45.1

And it was for a place called Design Within Reach.

1:06.5

So I had to meet somewhere in the middle, right?

So I was starting to get a little desperate, but I did list it and it did sell eventually for $2,500 on a site called Cherish. Wow. Someone bought that? You've been sitting on that couch with your... But it's a real... Your bunghole all over it. No, it's real... One of years. They don't make leather the way they make it anymore. I'm telling you, this thing would have been like $8,000 if it was brand new. Well, look, when you sat down naked on that couch, that was leather on leather, if you know what I'm saying. Anyway, so someone paid $2,500 for that old nasty couch that was all misshapen. Somebody from Miami Beach actually bought it. Yeah. It's crazy. So they're shipping it down here. Crazy.
