There’s been a long-standing joke throughout society that straight bros living on their own can’t keep anything clean — especially if they’re living in packs. Obviously, any joke based on gender stereotypes has its flaws and numerous exceptions, but some guys just seem determined to prove the claims correct.

Still, one might think it mostly only applies to young guys, moving out on their own for the first time, too concerned with work or school or play to bother keeping an apartment or dorm tidy.

But a recently resurfaced video of a house shared by Democrat Congressmen in Washington, D.C., is just blasting through those allowances, as these older men showcased one of the grossest abodes one can find outside of an episode of Hoarders.
Senators Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin took CNN on a tour of the crash pad they shared with Representative George Miller — who also owned the house — back in 2013.
It’s hard to imagine anyone actually lived in this house, let alone grown adult humans making a good salary in Washington, D.C., for years.

The video showcases everything from peeling paint to burnt-out electrical sockets.
There’s a busted chair that nobody bothered replacing, and a gross stove.

Not to mention Schumer’s underwear just casually hanging out in the living room.

The video was taken as part of a look into the “real-life ‘Alpha House,’” referencing a short-lived show that existed on Amazon Prime back in 2013, about four Republican Senators that shared a house in D.C.
“When people see this house, they’re going to know [the fictional characters are nothing like you], because the house in the show is a little bit nicer,” CNN’s Dana Bash quipped at the time.
“Omega House,” as the real life Congressmen called it, was home to a variety of Democratic lawmakers for over 30 years — and it was apparently never updated during that time.
“The same exact records are there now as the day I moved in in 1982,” Miller told Bash, referencing two shelves of LPs.
And yes, the house still boasted not only a record player, but a cassette player, in the year 2013.
Miller wound up selling the house not long after the CNN showcase of their little home, in 2014, and hopefully its new owners did at least a little bit of renovating to remove the stank of Congressmen dirtying it up for three decades.
