Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah, I have a question. What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
And this is common?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yes, m did Jennifer respond?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I had sixty nine sixty nine ongoing conversation with her
the entire time we were there, but she did respond,
like what the cable isn't work, because then I got
the notification that my request to book had been sent
that went along with the request. This wasn't like she
said yes, and then I said it a letter, This
was no.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
No, you buttered her up to get it exactly exactly
And has anybody ever done that?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Oh my god, yes, the Diane hasn't.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Kristen hasn't.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Well, you're not going to get the place that your
hard is set on.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Have I've been told?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Been told? Now?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Have you been told?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
No, everybody gets their place without this fake.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
But yes, she hello, reponded then and then she was.
We had it back and forth during the week I
was there one.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Hundred dollars a night. I wish what did what did
she write back? Did she write anything?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
And I have read great things about you?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Well, she did write a review about me. You also
want that to be positive?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Did you keep it clean and pay five stars?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
I can read the review, but I don't want you
to mock me more. I found Tyler to be a
great tenant. Flushed the toilet, actually it says left our
rental clean. He followed our house rules and always responded
thank you, always responded when I checked to make sure
(04:15):
everything was okay, back and forth during the week.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yes, we would gladly. Why does she have him stay again?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
By the way, why is she reaching out to you
to see if everything's okay?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Because it's not uncommon. Thank you, Diane for once someone's
gotten back in, people will will willing.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Okay, maybe not a lot, but at least once during
your stay. Hey, just want to make sure everything's okay.
Do you have everything you need?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
You know, what's never happened at a hotel, mister Siegel,
Everything okay?
Speaker 6 (04:42):
Because these people own the property that you're saying it.
They just want to make sure you're cool.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Because people can't find me anybody that's written a kiss
ass letter like that?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Can we focus on Roshan and got her house back?
Jennifer hers that I thought this. I'm telling you you're
going to be embarrassed because so many people do this.
Majority of people do this.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Majority. You want to right now, you're in the minority.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
You want to be picked for how many people?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
How many people are trying to rent the joint?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
The week of July fourth, a ton and this was sent.
I honestly, I think I booked it in right around
this time, right around.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Christmas six months out. Yeah, before anybody else.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
So you think if somebody else would have written a letter,
she would have been like, oh, I got to wait
and see if Tyler says something.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I sent it to her January third. Yeah. Wow. Oh,
and you have to do that kind of thing. My
sister in law, who also rents, July fourth weekend, they
talk to somebody it would have been early fall, to
make sure that they can get their same place again,
and they learned that their property had been rented for
(05:57):
the whole summer. Damn.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Oh wow. Imagine that letter Hello Jennifer.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Lime could have been anything.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
No, but that's Hello Jennifer. It's like even the tone.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I love it so much.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Give me the whole summer.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
No.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
No, Hi Elliott in the morning.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
Hi Elliott, is this me?
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Hi?
Speaker 8 (06:28):
This is uh Oh my god. So I was listening
to Tyler being extra when it comes to renting a place.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
Yes, I had.
Speaker 8 (06:40):
Three properties on Airbnb for many years before I sold him,
and out of all the booking, I've never had someone
write me a letter.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Be Maclin, No, Tyler says. Tyler says, the majority of
people do it.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
They do.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
I never have I've never even really heard of that.
I'm very surprised that he does that. In fact, I
try to not have contact with people because I don't
want them to say I discriminated against them, or you know,
I didn't choose them or something like that. If they
book it to the website, we're done.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
By the way, there was nothing in that letter.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
The only thing that Tyler's going to get accused of
is being extra in trying to get the place.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
All right, very good, thank you, ma'am.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Line Dirk writes, Tyler's letter has made me angrier than
the squatter.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Hi Elliott in the morning.
Speaker 7 (07:45):
Hell yeah, Hi, who's this all right? This is Mike.
I just want to say that I did try to
get an Airbnb and I got denied for it because
they basically try to tell me I booked my thing
too late, even though I try to reserve it, so
I had to find something else last minute and vegas.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Point on, did you write a letter?
Speaker 7 (08:03):
I didn't write a whole letter, but I just they'll
get the normal standards stake and I rent your place
out for the weekend.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah no, because somebody else had already rented it. That's
how it works. That's how it works.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Here we go. People are now screenshotting the letters they've written. Hello, Anna,
my girlfriend and I would love to take a mini
getaway in your beautiful space, just to get briefly away
from the stresses of life. I hope you'll host us
and allow us to do just that. Thank you. And
(08:35):
the comment is Elliott is being weird. This is so normal, love,
Anna Molnar, not so extra. This is what people do. No,
I'm gonna steal that line for next summer. Stresses of life.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Hi, Elliott in the morning.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
Hey's his name?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Who's as this as well?
Speaker 7 (08:58):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Are you good? What can I do for you? Sir?
Speaker 8 (09:01):
But I have never written a letter like that or
a message like that when renting.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I rented a place.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
Down in Charlotte and just said coming for the week.
Speaker 9 (09:11):
That was the most.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Very good thank you. But again, it's a trans all
it is is a transaction. It's a business transaction.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I understand that. But you want to sort of grease
them a little bit. You know you are, you're paying
for it. No, you got to go to the doc
and you gotta bribe them. I can't do that here
and iHeart but you can do that on Airbnb. Hello Suzanne,
I wish I could find. It's not in the app.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Oh sorry, Jennifer, Hello Jennifer.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You you have to hear or maybe you don't the
letter I wrote to the Airbnb for my brother's wedding. Basically,
I told him information as if he was also attending
the wedding, because I thought it making it seem like
it's this family based event we're going to that we
(10:14):
would be courteous guests, like it's this is not being
rented for a party or something like that, because that
was not a week Jersey was a week that was
a long weekend night or two nights or whatever. It
was it right? Yeah, I mean I still got it.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It's probably that letter.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I can't Why can't I access it because it was
so long ago? Maybe or was your.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Review not good afterwards? Tyler was a great guest, touch.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Extra Let me see what he wrote for me?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Who the California one?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
This was for your brother's wedding.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Excellent guess, quiet, clean and respectful, highly recommended. But I
can't find my note to him?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Was it like I love you?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I don't know's I bet he doesn't have it either.
I see his response because I came through email, but
I don't have it, says we'll gladly host you and
your family best, but where's my notes? That's what got
it done?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Hi, yoie in the morning, I'm like the closer.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Wait, do they credit check youh No?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
No?
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Okay, all right, you know what got it done. It
was available and my credit card went through. You agreed
to it, you paid, and we got it done.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Who's this.
Speaker 10 (11:36):
Hey, Elliott Spantaga.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 10 (11:39):
Okay, I'm gonna take Tyler's side here. So sometimes a
little bit of butter and grease nuts deal during COVID
I got shafted with when I rented AIRBNBA. Never did AIRBNBA,
so I had no actual like rating as being a cat.
I got shafted bea because I went through Airbnb to
(12:01):
follow complete when I was being heard the bed was broken,
went by two days, leaks on the floor, and so
after that turns out that who I read it from
gave me a terrible review saying that I tried to
pull a fast one when they accommodated. Got it up
because in the next couple of times that I rented
through Airbnb, I had to put almost an application, and
(12:25):
it turned out that it's been really high demand. Those
people who owned the property can actually say what they're
looking for from the type of gas. Turned out I
was someone who was denied the being able to rent
that because at the time they were looking for people
who would respect the neighborhood quote unquote, and that due.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
To my uh I would have written given everything.
Speaker 10 (12:51):
I was like, hey, you know what, just give me
my money back for whatever down came. I flip through
Airbabee and I canceled it out. And Tyler is just
one of the three people, and he's going to have
a great.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Thank you, thank.
Speaker 9 (13:07):
You, thank you.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
May I read from more letters not from me. I
still can't find my other. This is from mud Turtle,
who just learned his wife has been writing the hosts. Hi,
we are looking forward to coming to town for a
weekend get away from Richmond via Your place looks lovely
(13:32):
and the reviews are amazing, especially considering how critical people
are about everything on the internet.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
We are excited to check out the neighborhood and plan
on attending the NASCAR race in Hampton on Sunday. Open
to recommend, Open to recommendations. I am a sucker for
a specialty latte. Oh god, if any come to mind,

Speaker 3 (14:00):

Speaker 5 (15:22):

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Who's s Hi?
Speaker 11 (15:24):
This is J from Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yes, you ain't ever written a letter?
Speaker 7 (15:29):
Absolutely not. Abs.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Well, you're gonna lose out to mud Turtle when his
wife is trying to rent.
Speaker 9 (15:41):
And I can tell you that I've never been denied either.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Thank you. I haven't either.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Very good. Thank you, ma'am. Line seven, Hi Elliott the morning.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
Hi this me Yeah, Hi?
Speaker 9 (15:57):
Who's s Hi is Angela from spring Field Area. I
was Tyler on this, and I think it's because you
get a better host experience. Like at one point we
rented a room. It wasn't as nice as Scott, and
I had gone back and forth with the host and
then I sent her a screenshot of like really gross bathroom.
She upgraded our room, didn't charge us, Like we get
(16:18):
really really nice experiences because I asked kids very well.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
So you think the only reason that you got upgraded
out of the disgusting bathroom was because you wrote a
nice letter.
Speaker 9 (16:30):
Not necessarily, but I think that she was like really
quick on top of it. She like it wasn't something
where I had to like it was a back and
forth and she took a wild respond And I don't
mean that's like the only reason. But we've also had
like at one point I wrote a letter and I
was like, oh, my husband and I are coming for anniversary,
and they did like extra stuff for us when we
got there. And so I think it goes a long
way to like, what you're doing here?
Speaker 7 (16:52):
What did they do? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
What was it?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
What did they do for your anniversary?
Speaker 8 (16:56):
So they met up when we.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
First got there, they set up lights all around the
place we were still so that it would be extra nice.
They made sure that everything was like more manicured so
that when we had our little vowel renewal ceremony, it
was just a little bit extra. And then they recommended
several places for us to go. They had a bottle
of wine for us, like it was really nice.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
Actually
What do you mean you have to write a letter.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
They tell you it's best practice to explain to the
homeowner or the landlord why you need it. You are
what you're going to be doing.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Here's why I need it.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
It's you made it available online and I need a
place to stay for three days.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Did you do that for the place in Jersey? Oh?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Yeah, you wrote them a letter.

You want to be picked for how many people?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
How many people are trying to rent the joint?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
The week of July fourth, a ton and this was sent.
I honestly, I think I booked it in right around
this time, right around.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Christmas six months out. Yeah, before anybody else.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
So you think if somebody else would have written a letter,
she would have been like, oh, I got to wait
and see if Tyler says something.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I sent it to her January third. Yeah. Wow. Oh,
and you have to do that kind of thing. My
sister in law, who also rents, July fourth weekend, they
talk to somebody it would have been early fall, to
make sure that they can get their same place again,
and they learned that their property had been rented for
(05:57):
the whole summer. Damn.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Oh wow. Imagine that letter Hello Jennifer.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Lime could have been anything.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
No, but that's Hello Jennifer. It's like even the tone.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I love it so much.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Give me the whole summer.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
No.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
No, Hi Elliott in the morning.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
Hi Elliott, is this me?
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Hi?
Speaker 8 (06:28):
This is uh Oh my god. So I was listening
to Tyler being extra when it comes to renting a place.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
Yes, I had.
Speaker 8 (06:40):
Three properties on Airbnb for many years before I sold him,
and out of all the booking, I've never had someone
write me a letter.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Be Maclin, No, Tyler says. Tyler says, the majority of
people do it.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
They do.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
I never have I've never even really heard of that.
I'm very surprised that he does that. In fact, I
try to not have contact with people because I don't
want them to say I discriminated against them, or you know,
I didn't choose them or something like that. If they
book it to the website, we're done.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
By the way, there was nothing in that letter.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
The only thing that Tyler's going to get accused of
is being extra in trying to get the place.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
All right, very good, thank you, ma'am.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Line Dirk writes, Tyler's letter has made me angrier than
the squatter.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Hi Elliott in the morning.
Speaker 7 (07:45):
Hell yeah, Hi, who's this all right? This is Mike.
I just want to say that I did try to
get an Airbnb and I got denied for it because
they basically try to tell me I booked my thing
too late, even though I try to reserve it, so
I had to find something else last minute and vegas.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Point on, did you write a letter?
Speaker 7 (08:03):
I didn't write a whole letter, but I just they'll
get the normal standards stake and I rent your place
out for the weekend.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah no, because somebody else had already rented it. That's
how it works. That's how it works.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Here we go. People are now screenshotting the letters they've written. Hello, Anna,
my girlfriend and I would love to take a mini
getaway in your beautiful space, just to get briefly away
from the stresses of life. I hope you'll host us
and allow us to do just that. Thank you. And
(08:35):
the comment is Elliott is being weird. This is so normal, love,
Anna Molnar, not so extra. This is what people do. No,
I'm gonna steal that line for next summer. Stresses of life.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Hi, Elliott in the morning.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
Hey's his name?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Who's as this as well?
Speaker 7 (08:58):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Are you good? What can I do for you? Sir?
Speaker 8 (09:01):
But I have never written a letter like that or
a message like that when renting.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I rented a place.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
Down in Charlotte and just said coming for the week.
Speaker 9 (09:11):
That was the most.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Very good thank you. But again, it's a trans all
it is is a transaction. It's a business transaction.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I understand that. But you want to sort of grease
them a little bit. You know you are, you're paying
for it. No, you got to go to the doc
and you gotta bribe them. I can't do that here
and iHeart but you can do that on Airbnb. Hello Suzanne,
I wish I could find. It's not in the app.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Oh sorry, Jennifer, Hello Jennifer.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You you have to hear or maybe you don't the
letter I wrote to the Airbnb for my brother's wedding. Basically,
I told him information as if he was also attending
the wedding, because I thought it making it seem like
it's this family based event we're going to that we
(10:14):
would be courteous guests, like it's this is not being
rented for a party or something like that, because that
was not a week Jersey was a week that was
a long weekend night or two nights or whatever. It
was it right? Yeah, I mean I still got it.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It's probably that letter.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I can't Why can't I access it because it was
so long ago? Maybe or was your.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Review not good afterwards? Tyler was a great guest, touch.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Extra Let me see what he wrote for me?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Who the California one?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
This was for your brother's wedding.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Excellent guess, quiet, clean and respectful, highly recommended. But I
can't find my note to him?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Was it like I love you?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I don't know's I bet he doesn't have it either.
I see his response because I came through email, but
I don't have it, says we'll gladly host you and
your family best, but where's my notes? That's what got
it done?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Hi, yoie in the morning, I'm like the closer.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Wait, do they credit check youh No?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
No?
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Okay, all right, you know what got it done. It
was available and my credit card went through. You agreed
to it, you paid, and we got it done.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Who's this.
Speaker 10 (11:36):
Hey, Elliott Spantaga.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 10 (11:39):
Okay, I'm gonna take Tyler's side here. So sometimes a
little bit of butter and grease nuts deal during COVID
I got shafted with when I rented AIRBNBA. Never did AIRBNBA,
so I had no actual like rating as being a cat.
I got shafted bea because I went through Airbnb to
(12:01):
follow complete when I was being heard the bed was broken,
went by two days, leaks on the floor, and so
after that turns out that who I read it from
gave me a terrible review saying that I tried to
pull a fast one when they accommodated. Got it up
because in the next couple of times that I rented
through Airbnb, I had to put almost an application, and
(12:25):
it turned out that it's been really high demand. Those
people who owned the property can actually say what they're
looking for from the type of gas. Turned out I
was someone who was denied the being able to rent
that because at the time they were looking for people
who would respect the neighborhood quote unquote, and that due.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
To my uh I would have written given everything.
Speaker 10 (12:51):
I was like, hey, you know what, just give me
my money back for whatever down came. I flip through
Airbabee and I canceled it out. And Tyler is just
one of the three people, and he's going to have
a great.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Thank you, thank.
Speaker 9 (13:07):
You, thank you.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
May I read from more letters not from me. I
still can't find my other. This is from mud Turtle,
who just learned his wife has been writing the hosts. Hi,
we are looking forward to coming to town for a
weekend get away from Richmond via Your place looks lovely

Speaker 2 (13:42):
We are excited to check out the neighborhood and plan
on attending the NASCAR race in Hampton on Sunday. Open
to recommend, Open to recommendations. I am a sucker for
a specialty latte. Oh god, if any come to mind,

Speaker 1 (15:06):

Speaker 9 (15:18):

Speaker 1 (15:19):

Speaker 5 (15:22):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Who's s Hi?
Speaker 11 (15:24):
This is J from Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yes, you ain't ever written a letter?
Speaker 7 (15:29):
Absolutely not. Abs.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Well, you're gonna lose out to mud Turtle when his
wife is trying to rent.
Speaker 9 (15:41):
And I can tell you that I've never been denied either.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Thank you. I haven't either.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Very good. Thank you, ma'am. Line seven, Hi Elliott the morning.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
Hi this me Yeah, Hi?
Speaker 9 (15:57):
Who's s Hi is Angela from spring Field Area. I
was Tyler on this, and I think it's because you
get a better host experience. Like at one point we
rented a room. It wasn't as nice as Scott, and
I had gone back and forth with the host and
then I sent her a screenshot of like really gross bathroom.
She upgraded our room, didn't charge us, Like we get
(16:18):
really really nice experiences because I asked kids very well.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
So you think the only reason that you got upgraded
out of the disgusting bathroom was because you wrote a
nice letter.
Speaker 9 (16:30):
Not necessarily, but I think that she was like really
quick on top of it. She like it wasn't something
where I had to like it was a back and
forth and she took a wild respond And I don't
mean that's like the only reason. But we've also had
like at one point I wrote a letter and I
was like, oh, my husband and I are coming for anniversary,
and they did like extra stuff for us when we
got there. And so I think it goes a long
way to like, what you're doing here?
Speaker 7 (16:52):
What did they do? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
What was it?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
What did they do for your anniversary?
Speaker 8 (16:56):
So they met up when we.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
First got there, they set up lights all around the
place we were still so that it would be extra nice.
They made sure that everything was like more manicured so
that when we had our little vowel renewal ceremony, it
was just a little bit extra. And then they recommended
several places for us to go. They had a bottle
of wine for us, like it was really nice.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
