Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello Francis dule say Sloan. I got shows coming up

the Cave in Austin, Texas with my good good sister
friend Lace Lara Bey from America's Got Talent and our
New Year's Eve. I'm gonna be at the Aurora Theater
in Lawrenceville, Georgia doing the show for New Year's Eve.
It's a PM shows. You can still get turned up

high school. They watched Your Girl Grow Up. And now
I got a show there. Yea. And if you have

Thanks for listening. By Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, everybody you know?

(01:08):
man Saints, Men's Saints, Good morning Saints. Well you have
tuned in to another episode of Hold Up with Me.
One of your co hosts, Josh Johnson Brian for the
Daily Show, and I'm joined by those as one always

(01:31):
got them. Okay, you don't, I need to, I need
to find some Okay. Today's episode that we're gonna be
doing for y'all is something that we've been diametrically opposed
on for quite a while. It is hotels versus air
b and bs. Let me explain why the airbnb is

(01:56):
coming through stronger. Okay, One, Not every place you want
to visit has a hotel nearby. Okay, there are some
places that you want to go where the hotel is
going to be quite a drive from where you actually
want to hang out, whereas an airbnb has the ability
to be much closer to the things that you want

(02:19):
to do. It's a chance, it's a second chance to
be at the city center when all the hotels are like,
oh no, I'm sorry, we're full, there's no room in
the end. Okay, wow, okay, okay, okay, you've try to
be born in a manger and so I'm just saying

(02:41):
an airbnb, it offers a different style, a different flare
you were talking about flare. It offers a different flare
of decor when you are staying somewhere. Whereas the hotel
we we we talked about all the time. Almost every hotel,
almost every hotel out there, has bad art on the walls.
It has uncomfortable towels. Okay, it has sheets that when

(03:06):
the bed is made tight like marine tight, and you
can bounce the coin off of it, you may never
get out. You may cocoon yourself, sweating yourself half to death. Okay, Okay,
you gotta worry about what's happening in the building. It's
not it's not just someone's apartment. It's not just someone's house.

(03:26):
Where there's there's now some level of of control with
the variables. Okay, you have to worry about a whole building.
You may check into a hotel and they're like, hey, sorry,
we're doing constructions, so you're about to not sleep for
the next three nights. That could happen at someone's house,
but more likely it won't happen. There's also don't smile

(03:50):
it be like that, don't don't do that. I am
listening intently. No, I know you're listening. I know you listening.
But that's also the smile of somebody who like, you're
acting like I've stepped into some sort of trap and
I don't appreciate. Just don't smile at me like that
how you feel, but that that's how I feel. You

(04:10):
know that when you smile like that at a person,
you know what you're doing. Don't act like you don't
know what you're doing right now that you know. I
mean that, that's what I That's what I can't stand for. It.
Don't smile at me like that. They'd be like, what,
don't do that? I didn't even know a smiling like
that to say the truth. Yeah, but you you just

(04:31):
building my case. I'm just building I understand. I understand.
But you smile like you caught somebody alive. I'm just
telling you how I feel like I'm an argument with
my man or something to be like, okay, there's nothing.
There's nothing like when someone gets call. The people's reactions
with somebody but they catch somebody and alive is like

(04:53):
because sometimes sometimes they get more upset and sometimes it's
weird with people. Don't get more upset. I don't like that,
like if someone caught me at a lie, I would
need you to can't be caught now catch you? You
need to catch now, all right. I don't like this
thing of like, hey, okay, I lied to you, and

(05:13):
now you're like uh uh oh okay, don't catch and
release me. As what I'm saying exactly, I'm that fish.
I want to be in the net. I want to
be on a plate. Yeah, I'm going ahead, hit me
with the hammer. All right, it's already been caught in
the last thing I need. The last thing I need
is to throw throw me back out into the water

(05:34):
with the hook still in my mouth, and now I'm
swimming away like I'm fine. I've always thought that was
like I was thinking about that Mitch Headberg joke about
like catch and release where just like you just made
a fish late to something basically yeah, yeah, spot off,
because I'm never I was like, so you just like
this fish was living his life like this fish didn't
want to piercing, you know what I mean, just swimming
through nature, living their life. If all of a sudden,

(05:59):
because you out of thousand, all the fishing lure, you know,
and don't want to speak to your children or your
wife you're a significant other, because you know they're also
all types of people. Fish. You want to be by
yourself out here on God's waters. Now you're just out
here poking holes and fish, right, because think about it.
If you put a fit, you poke holes in the fit,

(06:20):
you catch the fish. Right. Also, I always wonder about
how that works, Like, okay, if they eat like fly fishing. Here,
see somebody make a fly. It's crazy, No, it's wild.
I don't it's I'm blown away by it. I was like,
there's no way you have good eyesight if you do
that for forty years, either you can only see a

(06:42):
foot ahead of you or like you're reading menus and
your phone like this, like that's what this is? This? This? Yeah?
But also I'm like, should they bite into it? And
I guess the design of it makes it immediately go
through the lip, But it's just like I'm sure it
has to heal, like it has to be cleaning in

(07:03):
like water. But like I wondered sometimes like if the
fish get caught, don't they die from the connection, Like
they could get an infection, right, that's like any living
thing getting the cut I mean, I have no idea.
The waters that we fish in sometimes are actually pretty nasty.
So as soon as you cut them you properly, that's
the death sentence right there, even if you decide to

(07:24):
throw them back. UM, I will say, okay, I this
is my fault. Airbnb. Oh listen, if you know anything
about this here podcast, which we all we all left
to acknowledge. The podcast is just the old school radio show.
We all have to acknowledge this. It's like somebody was like, damn,
I wanted to listen to something, but not music. M H,

(07:47):
what do I have the radio? No? No, no, I
need ideas. NPR cann't do so much, you know what
I mean? Um, but I can. I can. I see
the arguments that you're making. I see. Oh last thing
I'll say on the first on the first drop of

(08:09):
my argument is uh, you know we're gonna do several
drops throughout the podcast, back and forth. But I I
feel like the review process comes in much heavier for
an Airbnb than a hotel. I've seen hotels get bad
reviews and sometimes they respond, sometimes they don't respond. Sometimes

(08:31):
they are you know, horrible, horrible, like like you know,
one point nine right, and it will be a holiday
and Express. But this franchise Holiday in Express is not
closing down even if it is level one point nine
out of five until they deem it unprofitable, whereas with

(08:51):
Airbnb you can go ahead and get shut out of Airbnb.
Airbnb is watching. Airbnb is watching for those reviews that
people have a good time, do people enjoy their stay?
Was it clean? I can read all those reviews as
someone who's about it. I know you can read reviews
for a hotel, but because you need to leave them
in Airbnb. Now there's a wider span of knowledge you

(09:15):
can gain about a stay before you go there and
hear what you're saying. One construction, construction is construction. You
don't know who's gonna be building what where, right. That's
a risk with the Airbnb, that's the risk of the hotel. Also,
you don't know if you're gonna be near a train.
You don't know if you're gonna be, you know, near
a fire station or police station. You know, these are

(09:35):
things that you have to look up on your own.
To bad art, I've seen bad art and an Airbnb.
I've seen bad art in a hotel. I've seen bad
art in a doctor's office. Bad art is out here
walking in nature doing this thing, being like, hey, your eyeballs,
I'm gonna offend them. I'm gonna be a problem. No
one had. Somebody with bad taste had approximately a hundred

(09:57):
and forty two dollars and we needed to decorate somewhere
like that was that's what they was out here doing. Okay,
somebody walk into a target. It was like, you come here,
you know, somebody want to see your local hobby lobby.
Somebody went to your home Goods, your t J Max,
your Marshals. It was like, I have a hundred and

(10:19):
sixteen dollars, let's make this happen, right, towers. I have
been an Airbnb's a bad towels that I have been
in hotels with bad towels. But what I can say
is that if you had a hotel and you have
bad towels where they are hard, whether they're not clean
or or whatever, you can usually look into the hallway
and be like, excuse me, hi, I need some new towels. Okay.

(10:44):
This is the advantage of staying in a hotel, right
because you were not limited to like I've been an
Airbnbs I've had to buy my own toilet paper, right,
because you only out here with this see through might
as well be a fine mesh. Okay, half pled toilet

(11:05):
paper that you don't put on here like you're making
your own pinyada at the house. Where did you get Listen?
I know there's tissue paper. You know when you give
someone a present, that paper that you put into the bag.
Put that on a roll and put it in a bathroom. Right.
I've been an Airbnb? Is that then that's toilet paper.
I have been an air b I've been in hotels

(11:26):
that then a toilet paper. What I can tell you
is that they budget for a hotel, it's going to
be bigger. Also, I'm not gonna have all these fucking
stipulations that the Airbnb is be having because you know
your ass, I supposed to be Airbnb in this apartment.
So now I gotta meet you seven blocks of fucking
way to get the key, and you literally haven't struck.

(11:46):
We had an Airbnb one time. It was me Chale
and Mia and it was literally, don't speak to the neighbors,
don't make no eye cons and it lives that don't
talk to anybody going to get in there, because technically
your ass ain't supposed to be having no air being
be So now there's more and more situations where it's
just like, you're not supposed to be doing what you're doing. Now,
I am violating your lease with you and if you are,

(12:12):
if you are a standing at Airbnb somewhere, and it
says in the least if this person cannot sublet or
can the airbnb, if the neighbors tell the office, I'm
now getting kicked out because your ass is doing something
that you don't have no business doing. Also, now the
issue is people are getting apartments and getting multiple apartments

(12:32):
just so they can air b and be them and
it is a big problem in a lot of major cities,
especially New York and Los Angeles, where these could be
places that somebody can live. But now you're an Airbnb
this whole and so the rent in this place supposed
to be I don't know, two grand you charged somebody
to grant just to stay for the weekend. So now

(12:54):
you are forcing people out of affordable Now I don't
know how affordable the housing is, but you're taking up
space with at least for somewhere some people don't live
then when it comes to the security, right, if you
were in an apartment building, you were at the mercy
of whatever the hell is going on in the neighborhood.
You don't know that you do this mercy. Okay, Yeah,

(13:32):
it's just that's very That sounds like the advice that
my Bob would give back. You were at the mercy
of whatever it's going on in that neighborhood. That's it.
You are now a resident of this part of town. Yeah.
A hotel has security, a hotel has cameras. Hotel now

(13:54):
listening because I've been in many hotels where it was
just me and Mr Patel was out here. Sometimes I
was security. Right, We've been and it's like, I'm no security.
I can snitch it best. I'm gonna get loud. I

(14:15):
might show something, but somebody else, somebody else got to
show up, right, Yeah, assault, I see assault. That's the
best I can do for you. I'm in my room.
I'm not jumping in. It depends on the situation, but
for the most part, I'm in my room. A man.
Why is he not a man? Here? Also, if the
police cup at their interview with me, as a person

(14:37):
that did it is standing behind the police looking at me.
I'm gonna have to lie. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but
like he's looking right at me. I will say whatever
I need to say, and then I'm immediately once he's
in the police car, I'm checking out and I'm going
to another hotel. I hope I can say enough for
them to hold them, because if I can't, if he don't,

(14:58):
even if he don't, especially if he don't get in
the car, I'll go into another hotel. I'm leaving a
photo in the morning, my asses out of here. No,
we are not getting off at the same floor. I'll
get off at a different floor and go up some
fucking steps or down to step. You're not gonna noticeable
floor in the room. I'm saying that right. There's nobody,
there's no there's nothing like dry snitch without somebody that
you gotta sit next to him, listen, And that's somebody

(15:22):
who's has the toco of the police have been like,
I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, a, y'all,
I'm not part of it, all right, Why don't you
know you're not gonna do your job? And no, I
need you to know. Also, the music wasn't that loud,
somebody white call the police. We was really just fine
because it depends of the police. It was googles quitting call,

(15:44):
like why aren't we being a call because it's like
I'm just standing here. Also, I can't say that now
that I don't smoke, I don't see a lot of
ship that happens at night at hotels because I'm not outside. Yep, yep.
That's a huge part of it. So sometimes the only
reason I saw anything was because I was coming back
from a show, right, just had nothing to do with me.

(16:04):
I'm trying to walk in, and as I'm trying to
walk in, they're like yelling about something, screaming about something.
I'm like, yeah, I don't want any part of that.
I remember the book checking to a hotel one time.
Just dude had a bottle of wine and a cat
wrapped up in his hood. He trying to check in
and he the bottle slipped and I caught it. But
then the process is trying to catch the bottle, him

(16:26):
trying to get the bottle, he losed, the jacket falls,
and then the cat gets out and he's like, oh
my god. And the guy in the front desk was like, yeah,
we allowed animals. You did need to the cat because
you could just see the dude was like listen because
like he paid for a hotel room and like cash
and a card, right, and he was like, I've been
sleeping in my car for a couple of days and

(16:47):
I finally got some money up and I was just
like and he got in the front desk just didn't
have the I think the guy have charged him like
lower than what the raided room was because it was like, yeah,
we all want this person to succeed. Yes, they're they're
clearly going through something. You know. What was more miraculous
to me that that cat made no noise. If his

(17:12):
jacket had to slip, nobody would have knew he had
a cat. So the cat already knows what the campaign is.
So the cat is like, you know what the cat did,
what the cat was supposed to do. I guess for me,
hotels edge it out because sometimes hotels got a pool,
hotels got a gym, hotels have a bar. Hotel going

(17:37):
of a business center, which is just a room with
the printer. Hey, that business center stuff needs to stop.
That business center that that's like when they have a gym,
can I tell you I've stayed. There's some hotels where
they said they had a gym, and it didn't even
when I tell you, it's just simply not a gym,

(17:58):
like like just fundamentally, like I will. I ended up
going to the place and being like, y'all, y'all. Like
I went to the front desk and I was like, y'all, y'all,
can't be don't don't talk to people like this. Don't
tell people, don't tell people things are gems that aren't gems.
Don't do that. It's bad way it could play, y'all.

(18:22):
I wasn't even I wasn't even like mad. I was
just like, y'all know what you did? Like it wasn't
that Jack is out. Yeah. I didn't even have anger
in my heart. I was just like, hey, y'all stop.
You just walked up. Was like, listen, in the words
of Al Sharpton, do not kiss in my face and
call it right, Yeah, don't do that. I just I

(18:43):
know what a gym is. I've been in gyms. Y'all.
Had a broken dumbbell. Have you ever seen a broken dumbbell? So,
first of all, is one half. It looked like a stick, right,
it's a stick with it's a stick with some weight
on because some dumbbells are screwed in, so some of

(19:04):
them just have the full um, what's you McCall it?
Some of them have the full weight completely connected, but
some of them don't do that. So some of them
they really do have like an issue of like being
screwed in with the weights because they're plated, so the
ones that are plates are just screwed in that way. Yeah,

(19:28):
so I walked in. It was a treadmill that looked loose, right,
So I have no and I didn't get on it,
so I'm not gonna lie on the people and say
it was definitely loose, but it looked loose because the
tread on it was just you know, like when somebody
sneaker about to fall apart. That's what it looked like.

(19:49):
So it's like talking on the bottom. Yep. I've seen
a loose treadmill and been like, this is the most
dangerous thing I've ever seen. And that's someone that has
fallen like as a child. We tried to see how
fast he could go and try to see if you
can catch up with it. I couldn't do it. For
the longest time. I'm talking about up until maybe this

(20:13):
probably hap when I was like eight years old, I
had a scar on my right knee at a scar
in the middle of my chick because I fell down
and this treadmill took the skin off my knee and
the skin off the middle of my chest. For a
long time, I had some scar on my chest that
looked like fucking Brazil because I got my mom's boss's

(20:36):
house and they had a gym in their house and
sucking same springs, and so they had to go on
as fast as we had to go in, and we
just tried to jump on and see if we're gonna run.
And I fucking felt thank god it got my chest
and not my chin. I at least fell to the
point where I was like my face, my face, because
I could have sucked my ship up. I could have

(20:56):
been really out here, just give you a real quality MotoE,
just the ships, because I took off the whole side about.
You're probaba be living in different life right now. You
know what I'm saying. Yeah, I could not be in
the public. I gotta lost all of this. It's gotta god.

(21:16):
My whole ship at least do enough to hold my
head up. I went back into a wall to my
brother fell too, but didn't catch them like that because
they had pants on. But yeah, honey, a loose trap mail.
I also, okay, this is this is my thing. When
when you talk about amenities, all right, there are hotels,
let's say they have a thing they don't have. We

(21:38):
already covered gyms. Yeah, are restaurants or restaurants, because there
are some places where I'm like, y'all cook the sheets.
I can tell that there's sheets in this soup. This
tastes like dirty soup. There's stains in the soup. I've
never understood is why hotel bars closed so early. I

(22:02):
think that they don't want to encourage because they because
specifically because it doesn't make sense. It makes sense to me.
So the way that you're like, why would a hotel
bar close so early? You're already there, That's exactly why
they're like, we gotta shut this down, oh, because they're
already here. They're already here, so they don't even have

(22:24):
to worry about like letting me like like if hotel
bars closed at four, everyone would stay till four, Like
everybody you already staying there, you don't have to worry
about like getting your your keys taken away. You don't
have to worry about catching an uber home or anything.
You're already there. I'm just going upstairs. I's gonna know it.

(22:45):
And you're telling yourself you're gonna go upstairs, but you
stay for three more drinks, you know. Well, I think
the other thing that the reason they do do it
is because of adultery, maybe like wait, wait, wait, wait wait,
help me out to not facilitate an accident like a oops,

(23:07):
like a because because it's a hotel, so they already
have way to help him. But I hear it's and
that may know that that's why the hotel. That's because
it's a business. Somebody's gonna business trip with their work

(23:28):
husband clear across the damn country at some fucking convention
about I don't know, boxes or you know, long whatever.
People have conventions for a job. Oh my gosh, so
you were the other dude in the office that be
kind of flirting or whatever. Now y'all at this hotel bar.

(23:49):
Because the thing is like if you go to a
restaurant and get drunk with you know, if somebody you
could you know, your husband with or you know, your
significant other with if there's like a like leaving a ball,
are being in an uber and be like, okay, we
need to talk. We this is a mistake by d
y'all at the hotel bar. And now it's two am.

(24:13):
Se y'all don't left the restaurant, has a little conversation
in the uber. Y'all get back at tents with from
ten until two, y'all send up talking laughing by da
da da. Okay, we're closed, We're clothes were closed. Well
what should we do? Oh, we should grab a couple
more becauld. You could also leave with a drink from
a hotel bar. You can order two more drinks and

(24:34):
then go hang out somewhere. And now all of a sudden,
you're getting a divorce. I understand what you're saying. That's
why I think that they on the hotel bar. Also,
it is because of that. And I also be thinking
because of um people who work in a certain industry,

(25:00):
people of the nun because those because those those ladies
and gentlemen, and however they identified, it's none of my business.
They frequent bars and hotel bars. Lord, I sound like
my mama, but I've seen it because I met a
girl who did it. Uh, I met a guy. I
met a businessman who was looking for it, mm hmm,

(25:23):
and they both ended up having a good night. I
guess it's none of my business. All I'm saying is
is that if your bar is open it's a Fiday
at the Fouriday in the morning, at these local hotels,
you could be inviting certain situations that don't need to happen,
because I see the hotel body calls at nine nine
is ridiculous. You need to make some money. Yeah, but
they've been open all day, They've been opens this noon.

(25:46):
Maybe yeah, I guess maybe new I feel like a
lot of those bars, it's like they do this this
it's usually a barn restaurant thing and it's and it's
usually a slight brunch into the evening into dinner into
like closing at nine. So that's why I feel like
they've been open for enough hours to function, you know, right.

(26:10):
But I'm not saying I understand enough hours of function,
But I was understand enough hours to get this Schmeny's okay. Yeah,
I mean that That's why I'm having a little bit
of trouble with with your theory. Around them trying to
hold America's marriages together just because No, no, no, they would.
They have to be making so much, that has to
be leaving so much on the table. No, I don't

(26:31):
think it's about keeping marriages together. I think they don't
want to be a participating factor, no precipitating factor, in
what breaks one up. Okay, you see what I'm saying. Yeah,
so they don't want people being like after you stayed
at the Ramada, Right, we were never the same, right,

(26:54):
don't start none, won't be no mm hmmm. So we're
gonna close. We're gonna shot this bar down at a
good Christian nine. Yeah, you dumb ass to call your
wife would go to bed, which is crazy because it's
really midnight that nothing good happens after. I feel like
ten and eleven are still reasonable hours for a nightcap,

(27:18):
not if you got to go to a conference in
the morning, conference and all of that. You know what
I'm saying. I see what you're saying. That makes sense. Now,
So you've got a conference, you gotta be out there
with your badge and that binder. You know who doesn't
have to worry about these problems at all. Somebody saying
an Airbnb, airb and bees. Okay, there is no Airbnb bar.

(27:43):
If there is, it's a bar that's in the house
that you already invited the person two, so you already
doing wrong. Okay, there's no temptation. Okay, but we have
to acknowledge the furniture, and Airbnb is the most uncomfortable
doll furniture airbnbs I've been in lately. Bitch, where is
the rest of his couch? Oh yeah, yeah, I can

(28:06):
see that there's some of them try to be too
stylized minimalists. That's my thing is. I will say that
that is a point you've brought up that I completely
agree with where I've stayed at a couple of places
where I'm like, you know, you're not a Buddhist. Wha
you you were just being cheap because this stuff is
from Ikea, so you could have got a little extra

(28:27):
I kea in here. You could have alreaded was one
smooth trip to Rooms to Go. All you needed was
a shiny rent center. Okay, let's say I was just
gonna say, you know, rooms to Go, you're rent center?
Hella Ethan Allen in this, bitch, Okay, buy some real
fucking couches. The ship is a sousing, how about in

(28:50):
the couch on the floor at the same time, and
I'm good. I was like, I'm like, I know, I'm not.
I'm I'm not a tiny woman, but I've never been
cut out of the house either. So and look not
to not to take away from the point that you
just made, because I do agree with that, But if
you're looking for, like I said in the beginning, decore,

(29:13):
hotels aren't making strong choices. If you're looking for decore,
you need to go home. Why are you worried about
the decor and somewhere to at your house? Is the bad?
I'm not saying it's not to be nice. What I'm
saying is if you're not gonna get pick a hotel
because of the lamps they have, you don't really need

(29:34):
a hotel that bad. That's all I'm saying. If the
art on the wall, because I've got to some airbnbs
that has some i mean, the worst art I'm seeing
some place terrible decorating has been an Airbnbs terrible decorating.
The number of times I'm saying somewhere I'm like, oh,
this is a bachelor, It's giving you very much. First

(29:55):
of apartment. It's some of my first department, the first
good jobs, giving you back the pay, it's giving you somebody.
It's like a one like just one overview of a
page on Pinterest. Someone's like, yes, everything should be great,
everything is great. This this this is my other issue. Right,

(30:16):
I understand. I'm completely completely with you on the drawbacks
of how people individually run their airbnbs. You get people
who are like, oh, hey, I got just enough forks
for the people who rented the airbnb. Like, I'm I'm
with you there. I will say that there are hotels

(30:37):
where if you don't want to just be in the
common area with everybody, if you don't want to be
sitting in the lobby talking, the room itself is a
lot of times, depending on depending on your stay, is
not equipped to have a get together in the room. Right, So,
maybe you have three or four friends that want to
hang out with you while you're in your room, but

(30:59):
you have a twin bed, uh, you have a little
couch or seat sofa situation in front of a TV.
And then that fourth person fifth, if you're feeling crazy,
is standing you planning to get together in the space
that could not accommodate. You know, I can accommodate. Depends

(31:20):
on the size of Airbnb that you're in, because I've
been at Airbnb is where it's like when I first started,
when they first started doing them. The first one I
was ever in. This girl was wrinten out her room,
but she had a roommate, which was the most disrespectful fact.
What the best person being in that space was my
am was making the bed and found the bottles and

(31:41):
it was like found a bottle on the side of
the bed and I was like, what's this And I
was like, oh, I bet it's loup. But he said
what he said, who flu It's just somebody who was
disgusted by feet. So that bottle of look the girl

(32:03):
or him the funk out and the manya he's an
e m T. He has been covered with everybodily fluid
from the person has been on his body, and feet
are still disgusting to him. I was like, yeah, I
feel like this is a thing that you just think
makes you interesting. I don't know what this is for. Um. Also,
it's like you've been covering multiple bodily fluids of different

(32:26):
and it's like it's still be like feet oh, and
I'm like, I don't believe you. I love you. I've
said this to his face. I love you, but I
don't believe you. Now, if you're trying to squeeze four
people and to a hotel room that you know it's
not big enough, that's your own fault. You don't want
to try to put on the people in a little
last room. I understand, but I'm just saying I'm not

(32:48):
I'm not saying you should do it and be surprised.
I'm saying that if two people try to do it,
the likelihood that one of them would be able to
do it is leaning on the Airbnb side, but that
depends on the size Airbnb that you got. That's how
an Airbnb that you have. You know what I'm saying.
There's apartments in New York where people can't get four

(33:08):
people in their apartment. Only when you get three people
in this bitches on speaker phone. No, absolutely not the
hotel thing that you that you mentioned earlier, which I
do think is a drawback of hotels. Hotels are getting
pretty high and mighty with these prices, yo. Knowing that

(33:29):
airbnbs are out there as well, and you're still gonna
raise the prices is high? And not only that, did
you forget that we were just in a pandemic and
nobody was staying in these bitches? Also, where where were
you when you were thinking, all right, i'm gonna charge more,
but I'm gonna clean the room whenever I feel like it.

(33:52):
I also clean my own room, and it's not even
a thing of like this is this is my thing.
What I will do is if I am staying in
a hotel, every depending on how long I'm staying, if
I know I'm gonna be staying for a while, let's
say I'm staying somewhere for two weeks, Like let's say
I'm staying there for a stint, right, every three days,

(34:14):
I'll let somebody clean my room, but I clean my
room every day, or I'll if it if it gets
to the point where I'm like, like, let's say I'm
in a situation where my room isn't that big so
there's not too much to clean up, then it's every
five days. Because there have been sometimes where I'm like, look,
i'm gonna i'm gonna have this person. I'm gonna let

(34:35):
this person come clean the room just so they can
get ahead start on their day because I know it
would be too junkie to clean up all at once
when I leave. So I'm a day away from leaving,
so let me go ahead and let them like clean
the room in a way that's like like just taking
out the trash and stuff so that's not stinky in

(34:55):
here or anything like that. Like, but I clean my
room every day, right, like what I'll do. Like when
I was in a Melbourne I think was there's like
fourteen days, but it was like almost like an extended stay,
like it was a full kitchen in there. Also, like
if you're not somebody who's ever been in a hotel
for like two weeks, there's something weird about being in

(35:20):
a hotel for more than like four days, because now
it's like, okay, I'm a resident of this, like somebody
sending my mail here, like call my mama, I live
here now. Like being in a hotel for too long
does give you like a weird feeling, and I can't
describe it. That's why if I'm especially if I'm staying
at an extended stay, right, it's specifically this hotel just

(35:43):
because they have a lot of kitchen nets and stuff
like that. Once I use the kitchen net, we're in
a whole different room now, Yes, like popping popcorns one thing,
but once I actually make eggs here, I live here now, Yes,
understand I've stayed in the sweet. Yeah, and it's like

(36:04):
it's like, you know you moved here, Yes, like an
extended So I've been an extended because I was. We
were on the road, and so after a while, you're like,
I can't the way just coming into a room with
two beds and a TV night after night after night,
and every day it's a different hotel. You're like, your
brain just goes what the fund is happening? So if

(36:26):
you're gonna be somewhere for a long time, when you
have it, when you're in it, I think we were
in like fun, where are we like somewhere in New
England where not only was it a sweet, it was
a sweet with a kitchen. I was like, I'm in
a one bedroom apartment. You know what else is a
one bedroom apartment? Airbnb A you already know, but you

(36:49):
don't need Airbnbs because we have extended days. Maybe, girl,
not everywhere I wanted an extended stay before, and there
was not one in the area I've been, but also
every to say it's not nice. Yeah, some some Some
of them are the quality barriers. You can look around
and be at the wrong extended state, and you know

(37:11):
you're at the wrong extended say when there's too many
people outside. There is something about that that I don't
know what that is. But anytime I'm at a hotel
and everything's everything's fine when I check it right, and
then I come back after the show and there's just
like nineteen people outside smoking, and like, so do they

(37:32):
know each other or like, It'll always be just loud
enough that I'm like, I cannot tell if they're having
fun or if it's about to pop off. They don't
know either. And that's also a problem because it will
be too many people. Because you ever see those fights like, um,
there there was this fight that I saw online that

(37:54):
that that happened where there was a way in. There
was a boxing way in for like an independent from Okay.
So this was not a fight, This wasn't a street fight.
This was an actual professional boxing match. This this is
a professional boxing match. Weigh in right, But it's not
It's not a promotion you would be familiar with or anything.
It turned into a street fight later because a guy

(38:17):
who wants to fight one of the guys who's about
to fight, right, So, I don't know, I don't know
everybody's names. I just know. And then Billy wants to
fight Ricky. Billy wants to fight Ricky, but he can't
fight him this weekend because Ricky's fighting Bobby, right. Uh
So then he gets into it with them post press

(38:39):
conference and like throws a drink in his face or whatever,
and then goes to walk out. Now, a couple of
people affiliated or not followed him out, okay, and then
the people who followed about Now there's just first of all,
there's too many people for a quote unquote good fight
because it's just gonna be too much confusion. But now

(39:00):
outside of this hotel, because that's also what revealed they
were at a hotel because it looked like a very
professional It looked like a very because you can only
see the what do you call the thing that people
take pictures in front of on a red car. Okay,
because the step and repeat for the press conference is
so big it looks like a legitimate way in it's

(39:23):
not until it's not until the cameras follow the people
that followed the guy out that through the drake that
you see that like, oh, y'all are in like holiday
in Express, y'all are super eight. He gets outside and
even when they got outside, they gotta walk around cars
that are parked and stuff like that. And then some

(39:43):
people like you know, try to try to rush him
and everything, and you know, he got he got, he
got clocked one good time, um, which you know he
had coming because he threw the drink as a cheap
shot and whatever, go ahead, sorry, But then they as
they're walking away, I'm just like, that is the vibe
when I get back from a show. Sometimes I'm staying

(40:03):
at a hotel. It's just nineteen dudes outside, and like
some of them are laughing, but some of them are like, like, Okay,
one time I left this is I probably shouldn't haven
tell a story. But one time when I was in college, Um,
I can't remember I was. I was at some bar

(40:24):
and I straight up left the bar because there was
a guy. I was with my friends, but we were
close to campus, and there was a guy. Two big
old dudes, right, big big dudes, and the guy said
one guy said something to the other and he was laughing,
and the other guy just kept saying, wait what did

(40:44):
you say? And it was loud in there, right, so
he was like, wait what did you say? And honestly,
I just didn't like the way he kept asking wait
what did you say? So I was like, you know what,
I don't drink, I have no reason to be here.
I will go ahead and walk out now, I'm good, right,
I don't. I don't sit and stay and wait to
see and you know what I mean. And then what happened?

(41:08):
Oh no, they fought. They fought. There we go. Yeah, yeah,
But it was just like it was one of those
things where I was like, because they're gonna First of all,
there they both look a little drunk, so one of
them is gonna miss and hit me because I'm sitting
next to the stude and seeing. That's the other reason
that hotel bars can't stay open that late. Because also

(41:28):
you have to remember, this is a bunch of different
people from a bunch of different places. M hm, So
you don't they could get the scraping in here for
anything because they're not even from they're not from Evansville, Indiana.
They're just here for this dentist conference. And the last
thing you need is because the people frequent the bar

(41:51):
every night, every night of the conference, they're gonna be
at the bar. The last thing you need is somebody
to come to the bar and be like, Okay, through
all nine, I'll see you later, right, I'll see you
later three o nine. The things that the airbnb is
somebody just like here and you're kind of just left
to your own devices. Yeah, yeah, I I understand that's
a huge drawback. There's no supervision at an airbnb, and

(42:15):
there's sometimes too much supervision at a hotel. Like sometimes
you know, we're just trying to get like you picked
your food up, trying to get to your room, and
all of a sudden it's like, okay, I've got my
food and my stuff. Oh funk, I can't get upstairs
unless I use my card to put the thing on
the fucking elevator, Like, what's happening? Let me go to
my fucking room. Because some hotels you just have to

(42:37):
hit the thing and then you can press any floor.
All their hotels, you hit the ship, you can only
press your floor. Yeah, so they're on an elevator and
it's like there's for you, and there's like, OK, okay,
well I'm on seven, and then you're on eighteen, and
then you're on twenty six, and then you're on seven.
It's like, this is completely fucking I got understand it

(42:59):
is for my security at my well being, but in
this moment right now, that ship is annoying. So I
think that's the other thing with Airbnb is it's like
you're it's oh, ship, I don't have any I forgot
my toothpaste, and the airbb aassed out hotel. Go downstairs
and give your toothbrush, toothpaste and now something. I love

(43:22):
the little hotel that has like the little um, the
little convenience story in it, but I always think it's weird.
I finally was at a hotel that had a little
convenience story in it that had condoms, because I was like,
why the funk don't y'all have condoms? You got a
sewing kit, you gotta lit roller, you got spray light sault,

(43:46):
you got milk fucking dinners. Okay, this is this is
what's happening though at at at at least an Airbnb's
they don't have condoms either. They don't have condoms because
they at least have a reason. You can tell when
somebody actually lives to the airbnb that you're staying at,
and when somebody is running a chain of airbnbs, you know,

(44:09):
like a like, um oh, I say, you can tell
it it's someone being like listen, I'm renting out my
place that I live. Yeah, please please please, like I
get it. I get it. And if you do, I
get it, and and and and hey, if you are
in love and there's your honeymoon weekend, I'm happy for you.
Please though, like I have to live here, so just

(44:32):
don't make any memories. No no, no, no, no, no,
no no no. You are the one that let people
sleep in your the two grown adults sleep in your
bed for four days. I don't think you're wrong. I
don't think you're wrong. I'm just saying I think that's
the thought process that they have, Oh the airbnb like

(44:54):
owner person doing the Airbnb that they hold nobody's in
here making whoopee? Is that what then you think of that?
I'm saying, I think that that's what they would they
You can't, you can't. There's no thing. They say, no parties,
they say no whatever, But there there's nothing in Airbnb,
where you have to be like, hey, listen, y'all, don't

(45:14):
don't do. You can't like a dance chaperone your way
through an Airbnb, all right, he no touching? You know
what I mean? You know you can't do you can't
go no, no, no, no no. I know that you
paid this money to stay in my house for five days,
you and your spouse. But I have to sleep in

(45:35):
this bed as well, so please don't have sex. No.
What you're gonna have to do is change them sheets
then you come back. That's what's going to have to happen.
I'm completely with you. I'm saying I think that they
think that you think that they don't want people sucking
in that bad I think so. I think some people

(45:57):
don't care, but I think there are people out there
who are like, oh man, well this is this is
why I will say. Though, for the airbnb side of it,
I understand you're saying that you can't care, and I
agree with you that you can't care, But you also
know people aren't reasonable, and you also have to know
that if you say no parties, people will have a party.
You can't you can't delegate who comes up in that bitch. Yeah,

(46:24):
what you have to do is the owner of that
Airbnb is that you have to put a waterproof mattress
cover on your mattress mm hmm, and then put a
pillow top on top of that, and then put some
sheets on that bed because you decided to rent out
your own house and you decided to let people sleep

(46:45):
on your mattress. Who And see that's the other because
think about hotels. You always have to like, okay, other
people have stepping in this bed. But if you're then Airbnb,
other people slept in that bed, you're in somebody else's bad.
Airbnb is just Uber. Okay, it's just left mm hmm.
It's just Uper with beds. It's just Uber with beds,
and it's just Uber with bed So if you have

(47:07):
an ische with people having sex in your bed, then
you don't need to have an Airbnb. Or what needs
to happen is you need to have another closet in
your house big enough or area in your house big
enough to store your own mattress, like a Murphy bed situation,
but only for you, right hidden bookcase with your mattresses.
That makes sense. But other than that, this is this

(47:28):
is not gonna work. So let's ask the listeners because honestly,
on this has been a very civil, factual conversation. I
realized I had got comfort your neck at all this time.
Yeah yeah, yeah, really like truly, I think some people
listening might be disappointed. I mean it might, But I

(47:48):
have therapy this morning. So if I catch you all
your therapy days, I'm winning every one of them, all right.
If I'm catching you, sin if I'm catching if I'm
catching you centered, there's no there's no hope for you.
If I'm catching you at peace, at peace. Say if

(48:14):
I catch you at peace, oh oh, I hate it
for you. I hate it for you, and I love
it for you. I'm happy for you, and I'm sad
for you. But look, listen, if you're catch you at peace,
I was this is something that's close to her. I
didn't I guess that today I felt like, you know,

(48:35):
let's really talk about this as opposed to because this
is a conversation that I have with myself on a
regular basis, like where am I going to stay? Right? Okay, Okay,
So I was really invested in this conversation today because
I'm just like, okay, what do I prefer m hmmm.
Because the other thing that I feel like with airbnbs

(48:59):
is I feel like that when I'm in a hotel,
it feels generic, it feels sanitized. I know I'm not
the first person in here, but I feel like, m hmm,
all of this has been set up for me. Okay,
So it really comes down to and and this is
for the listener, as you're making your decisions, right, regardless

(49:21):
of our arguments, do you prefer this is something an
extra question I ask yourself. I'm not changing the scenario.
I'm just saying, do you prefer something that feels homey
and lived in or something that feels fresh for you
on your trips? You know? And I do like a
homey feel. I like I like feeling like, oh, hey,

(49:41):
I'm visiting with friends at a friend's house, or I'm
you know what I mean. Here's the thing with the airbnb,
you never, depending on how the person runs it, vibe
in that place. It could beat it could feel fresh
for me, or I could feel lived in and homie. Okay,
I've been an airbnb that were so sanitary. There's not sanitary.

(50:06):
There were so you could tell that nothing went into this.
You threw a TV up the bed. I guess it's
on stilts, and it's like that's it. You know, you
put some towels in the bathroom. It's like I did
what I needed to do. It feels like someone never
lived here, right, you know what. Let's go this over
to the listeners. You know, because they travel, okay, they're

(50:29):
