1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: This is gem Nation.

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 2: We're lots of stories I've been reading lately about Airbnb's.

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 2: They were the b All and end All just a

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 2: couple of years ago, and people still love staying in them.

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: But sometimes the list of chores is exhausting. People have

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 2: had the homeowner burst in and yell at them. People

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: are accused of dirtying towels when all they've done is

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 2: use them, and they say, oh, you have to pay

9
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: an extra cleaning thing. You I was just using the town.

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: When you say dirtying towels though, well it was Jenny

11
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: who works with us. She's a very hygienic person, and

12
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: she said, all we did was use the towels as

13
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: a normal person used them before. Oh but that's a

14
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: towel you're allowed to presumably after you've showered. But maybe

15
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 2: you run an Airbnb and you've seen some horror stories.

16
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: We're open to it all.

17
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: Brenda has joined us. Hello Brenda, Hey, how are you

18
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: this morning?

19
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: Very well? Thank you? Hello, Brenda. Tell us about the airbnb.

20
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: Well, we went away for the week we can we

21
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: being ten ladies in our fifties, we went to Mudgy

22
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: for the weekend and when we arrived it was beautiful

23
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: into a farmhouse. When we arrived, there was a pony

24
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: out the back of the property, outside the back door

25
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: and it was just laying down, and we said to that.

26
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: We went into the home Owden and we said, we're

27
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: not sure if that pony's okay, we're going into town.

28
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: Maybe you should get it checked. But anyway, when we

29
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 1: came back from lunch, the pony, the vet was there

30
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: and he youth made the pony. So the pony. We

31
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: had a dead pony at our back door, and so

32
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: that was fine. And then we started to prepare dinner

33
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: and we were sitting outside and it was daylight Savings

34
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: and we were making cheese platters and doing what we

35
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: do best on weekends.

36
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: It sounds amazing, and we said.

37
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: I went in next door to the lady and I said,

38
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: where what are you going to do with the pony?

39
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: So I was still lying there outside the door, was.

40
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: Still lying there, yep, And oh, there's not much I

41
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: can do because my son's not coming up till next weekend,

42
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: so it'll have to stay there. And I said, well,

43
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: we've got the house for the whole week. I said, like,

44
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: we can't have a dead pony at the back door.

45
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: She said. She said, well, I can't do it by myself.

46
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: And we said, well, maybe we could help you, and

47
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: she goes, well, I could take it down the back

48
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: to the dam. And we went, oh okay. So we're

49
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: all we're all fabulous. So we went, okay, how can

50
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: we help. So she goes, I'll go and get some

51
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: rope and we'll tied up to the truck down the back.

52
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: So we dragged it. It would have been a good

53
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: to one hundred and three hundred meters down the back.

54
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: So we get it to the top of the dam.

55
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: The dam was empty, and she goes, okay, she said,

56
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: can you grab the legs and just roll it into

57
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: the dam? I'll go, but how are we going to

58
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: roll the pony? So anyway, so there was three of

59
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: us that we rolled. We pick the phony. We rolled

60
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: it around, but the pony landed on its knees and

61
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: it was kind of sitting up in the dam, half

62
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, just half sitting up, half flying. She no, no, no,

63
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: she's panicking, shes We've had that pony for fifteen years

64
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: and it's it's you know, she's crying, and we're going, okay,

65
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: well we'll try and roll it him further, So when

66
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: me deep in mud rolling the pony into this dam,

67
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: and then she said you might we're all dressed in white,

68
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: by the way, and she said, can you cover its

69
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: head up? So then we're shoveling to cover up the

70
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: pony's head because she didn't want to see the pony.

71
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: So that was our Airbnb story. Wow.

72
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: And then you just went back up and thought, now,

73
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: what are we having for nibbles?

74
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: Went well, when we're going to top this Airbnb story

75
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: that we had to bury a pony while we were away, Wow.

76
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: But the alternative was that a dead pony would have

77
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: been at the back door.

78
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: All week exactly. This poor pony had been bitten by

79
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: a snake. So oh, what a.

80
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: Tragic story all round story. But in the dam, aren't

81
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: you polluting the dam?

82
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: Couldn't the vet have done something that We went for

83
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: a warf The next morning. We told the farmer next door,

84
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: we put it in the dam, and you went, you

85
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: put it where? And he said that will pollute the water,

86
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: and said, well, we didn't know where else to put it,

87
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: so he said I'll gone. He came over with his

88
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: tractor and dug a hole and buried it, so that

89
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: was there was a happy ending to the story.

90
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: Of how happy part of me. I live for stuff

91
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: like that, though, when the job's on and you've got

92
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: to bury a pony, yeah, but that's different to ten

93
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: girls wearing white linen hoping just to eat cheese and

94
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: drink wine watch sex in the city. Yeah, that's what

95
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: I know, exactly a story
