Mark Consuelos put the freak in clean freak on Wednesday’s Live with Kelly and Mark.
The co-host talked about some satisfying videos he had found online, one of them showing an “overgrown lawn” being mowed and edged perfectly in “super speed.”
“I love it so much,” he gushed. “And then they have these other videos of unclogging drains, which I’m not sure —”
Kelly Ripa teased, “I like that you’re the kind of guy that watches videos like that instead of dirty videos.”
Consuelos conceded, “Well, it’s porn to me.”
While commenting on the increasing popularity of content centered around “cleaning extremely dirty rugs,” Consuelos expressed his admiration, stating that he “love[s] it so much.”
Ripa chimed in, “Do you want to be alone for a while?”
After Consuelos and Ripa proposed that the Live crew play “love music” and “dim the lights,” their wishes were granted.
“Mark is going to put us in a romantic mood right now,” Ripa said in a sultry tone. “What are you watching on social media, Mark?”
In response to Ripa’s enthusiasm, Consuelos shared, “There’s this filthy rug. And I mean filthy with a capital Filth. And what you do is you power wash the rug… and then they suck up the filth.”
The two concluded in unison, “Oh, yeah!”
After cracking up, Consuelos continued raving about the “amazing” videos, and was reminded of “leaf blowing” content, which got him even more excited.
“Oh, dim the lights again!” Ripa added. “Tell me about the leaf blowing, daddy.”
The romantic music resumed as Consuelos swooned once more, this time about an “electric leaf blower.”
“So it’s nice and sleek. Oh, yeah,” he continued. “And there’s leaves on the front of the walkway and then you blow them out. And they just blow away. Oh, yeah.”
The sensual mood abruptly ended as Consuelos revealed, “This started at an early age for me,” and clarified that the living room in his childhood home had a “beautiful rug with tassels at the end.”
“So I’d get up in the morning and I’d straighten the tassels. Oh, yeah,” he explained.
Ripa said, “This is explaining you to me in such a way that all of the marriage counseling in the world could not possibly — I now get it.”
She then recalled when she first met Consuelos on the set of All My Children, where they would “run lines together.”
“I would be eating my toasted bagel scooped out with my sensible no-fat cream cheese. Remember the ’90s, everyone?” she continued. “I’d be sitting there eating it, and I would watch him watch the crumbs fall from my mouth onto the floor… And I’m like, ‘What are you looking at?’ And he’s like, ‘Do you want a plate?’ It never occurred to me that that was so distressing to him. But you found it exciting and in some way, I guess, dirty.”
Consuelos quipped, “I could fix you! Oh, I could fix her!”
After Ripa teased that “she just needs a plate,” Consuelos added, “She’s feral!”
“Oh, who is this feral woman?” he added.
