The Death of Airbnb Pretend-Life Fantasy

from The Life Coach | The Tim Dillon Show #309 · #309

3 min

Tim argues the pandemic-era fantasy of Airbnb-hopping between identities is over, that people must now choose one life, and that Airbnb should just return to being a party-trashing house rental business.

In this bit8 moments
  • Tim on the Airbnb fantasy: staying in someone else's house and pretending to live their life during the pandemic.
  • People bought property in Austin and Nashville after a pulled pork sandwich convinced them they should get a mortgage.
  • The pandemic is over—you must actually choose a life now instead of being a different person every week.
  • You have to choose what type of person you're going to be: the bread baker, the political activist, the Nashville boots person, the Austin taco person.
  • Airbnb was always supposed to be for pretending, wondering what it feels like to live in Montana or Palm Springs.
  • Airbnb tried to steer away from being a party house, but that's really what it should be.
  • The real purpose of Airbnb: rent the house, have a party, trash it, hope nobody dies in the pool.
  • Frat guys should pilgrimage through your Tucson house for 48 hours, pillage it, and you pocket $1,300 for the privilege.
