| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. My wife and I found a strange man in our bed. |
| 0:07.5 | Dang. So I'm literally sitting in a public parking lot right now with an angry sea than a wife. |
| 0:13.0 | Bad place to be. We decided to use Airbnb for the first time while on a one day trip to Kona to see a volcano. |
| 0:19.8 | Where's Kona? I actually, Hawaii? Maybe. Okay. That makes sense. We informed the host that we'd be arriving late and he responded that it wouldn't be a problem and gave us instructions for the self-check-in. Also, the self-check-in sometimes with Airbnb sucks. Yes. When we arrived, we follow the instructions and entered in the code to open the door and two-hour shock. Someone was sleeping in the room. That's not what you want to see. He was as shocked as I since he was sound to sleep when we opened the door. We apologized quickly, closed the door and went to look for the host. We found sound to sleep as well. We woke him up and he started mumbling |
| 0:54.3 | excuses about how the other person showed up first so they got to book the room. He then admitted |
| 0:58.8 | to us they had accidentally double book the room on bookings.com and offered us to crash in his |
| 1:04.9 | living room. When asked why he didn't tell us earlier that he double booked it, he said half the people |
| 1:10.1 | don't show up. |
| 1:12.1 | My wife lost it and starts yelling at the guy. And I can tell things are going south. So I grab |
| 1:17.0 | her to leave all while she's like yelling. So he's like just pulling her away. We call Airbnb and get |
| 1:21.5 | transferred to some help desk in India. And the guy asked if we want to cancel the booking. At this |
| 1:26.1 | point, I'm pissed and asked if he was serious. |
| 1:29.0 | He says he has to ask and offers to refund the cost of the room and give us a $60 credit for a stay somewhere else. |
| 1:35.7 | We tried calling around to the other hotels and they are completely booked. |
| 1:39.6 | This host had 700 views and everything looked on the up and up. |
| 1:42.7 | Wow. |
| 1:43.2 | And now we're sleeping in a rental |
| 1:45.0 | car for the night. Oh my gosh. That's absolutely insane. Yeah. shitty Airbnb host, man. I love how |
| 1:52.0 | they're both sleeping though. But it's also like that could happen because I remember at my Airbnb |
| 1:56.8 | like the key is just under the mat in a lot of these places. Bro, under the mat or it's like, |
| 2:00.8 | all right, here's |
| 2:01.3 | this like 12, like here's the 12 |
