Speaker 1: We got a question for American mamas, Dear mama's is
0:03
Speaker 1: it too risky to have an airbnb these days with
0:06
Speaker 1: a number of people destroying them with parties.
0:08
Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mamas.
0:11
Speaker 1: Mama, Mama, and joining us now are American mamas Terry
0:24
Speaker 1: Edeville and Kimberly Burlison. Okay, So, you know, it's always
0:30
Speaker 1: kind of been a little risky if you're going to be,
0:32
Speaker 1: you know, renting out your place to people that you
0:35
Speaker 1: don't know, there's always a little bit of risk, kind
0:38
Speaker 1: of like being an uber driver. There's a bit of
0:39
Speaker 1: a risk to just having people come into your car
0:42
Speaker 1: all the time. But is this trend? Is this a
0:47
Speaker 1: growing trend of people trashing airbnbs?
0:49
Speaker 3: I feel like it is, and it scares me because
0:51
Speaker 3: we would like to buy one, I mean, we would
0:53
Speaker 3: love to have, like to have an airbb and so
0:55
Speaker 3: but I've been seeing this kind of an uptick in
0:58
Speaker 3: this is where you know, these of age people, families
1:02
Speaker 3: that are seeking to stay in someone's home and it
1:06
Speaker 3: looks like a normal family and then it goes out
1:08
Speaker 3: on social media and it turns into a rager. Oh
1:11
Speaker 3: and then there's destruction part of the fun for them
1:14
Speaker 3: is to completely destroy the home. Wow. So this is
1:18
Speaker 3: what's crazy. I have a friend that this happened to, Yeah,
1:20
Speaker 3: in Florida, Bobby Weener. No, she's from California, California. She
1:25
Speaker 3: Bobby Weiener. I've talked about her before. She does all
1:27
Speaker 3: the camera makeup for our military and other countries military.
1:31
Speaker 3: Forty years old, married to an affluent doctor. Lived in
1:34
Speaker 3: Beverly Hills in a mansion. She and her husband and
1:38
Speaker 3: their couple friends are on a trip. While they're gone,
1:41
Speaker 3: her step son had a rager that had helicopters. Was
1:45
Speaker 3: on the news. Okay, every single thing in her home
1:48
Speaker 3: had been was gone except for her grand piano. Wow.
1:52
Speaker 3: Everything Wow. And her husband left at that moment. He
1:55
Speaker 3: was so overwhelmed he didn't know what to do that
1:58
Speaker 3: he literally had a mental break at that moment and
2:01
Speaker 3: walked away from the marriage, from the family, from the house.
2:04
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
2:05
Speaker 1: Oh.
2:05
Speaker 3: She wrote a book about it.
2:06
Speaker 2: Wow.
2:07
Speaker 3: Walked away because it was so overwhelming to him, and
2:10
Speaker 3: so she kind of started her life over from that point.
2:14
Speaker 1: Wow.
2:14
Speaker 3: But somebody that kind of thing, like, I'm thinking about
2:19
Speaker 3: these people that own these airbnbs and these kids I
2:21
Speaker 3: know what toll it's taking on them. It's not like
2:24
Speaker 3: just we can go up there and fix it up.
2:26
Speaker 3: They destroyed a dream. They destroyed so much more than
2:30
Speaker 3: just property.
2:32
Speaker 2: You know. Well, they're doing these ragers. And just recently
2:35
Speaker 2: I saw on the news and there's a man that
2:37
Speaker 2: had beautiful home and he had set it up so
2:40
Speaker 2: he could have an airbnb. He was out of town
2:42
Speaker 2: and he thought a family was coming to rent it,
2:44
Speaker 2: because that's what they said. And then they put out
2:48
Speaker 2: a flyer and it basically said, as they called it,
2:51
Speaker 2: something like the when the teenagers co opt the whole thing,
2:55
Speaker 2: Like they come in and they just have to take over.
2:58
Speaker 2: That's what it's called. And all one of the neighbors
3:01
Speaker 2: said there was like one hundred kids in the pool
3:03
Speaker 2: at one time, and so they were so devast The
3:06
Speaker 2: neighbors were so devastated for this man that had put
3:10
Speaker 2: everything he had into this place that they started cleaning
3:14
Speaker 2: up before he even got home because they didn't want
3:16
Speaker 2: him to see everything. Like his grand piano was just
3:19
Speaker 2: cutting half. Oh my god, I mean it came in
3:21
Speaker 2: and how do you well, first of all, how can
3:24
Speaker 2: you not press charges? Oh, there's no consequence, What can
3:27
Speaker 2: you do about this?
3:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd have to be able to have identity, you'd
3:31
Speaker 1: have to have cameras going on. But then there's this
3:33
Speaker 1: whole thing about if you're putting cameras up in your AIRBBB,
3:35
Speaker 1: people accuse you of being creepy, Yeah, which it kind
3:39
Speaker 1: of is. Yeah, but you're also trying to protect your assets.
3:42
Speaker 1: So unless you can prove who did what?
3:45
Speaker 2: Who give you another video where the owner came in.
3:47
Speaker 2: It was a bless his heart, It was an Asian man,
3:50
Speaker 2: older man that came in because I guess you did
3:53
Speaker 2: have cameras and the kids were He was like, what
3:56
Speaker 2: are y'all doing? What are y'all doing? Because they were
3:58
Speaker 2: setting off fireworks in his home and they broke the
4:01
Speaker 2: granite counter and they pushed him and started hurting him,
4:06
Speaker 2: and it was devastating for me to watch. Actually, I
4:09
Speaker 2: haven't stopped thinking about that because what has to be
4:13
Speaker 2: inside of somebody, no matter their age, to be able
4:16
Speaker 2: to number one do that And then when an old
4:19
Speaker 2: man comes in to confront you beat him up?
4:22
Speaker 3: Right?
4:23
Speaker 2: What happened to you?
4:24
Speaker 3: You know what scares me is just the hive mind mentality,
4:28
Speaker 3: you know, when you see it with looters. You see
4:31
Speaker 3: it when somebody's there's a fight starting and then everybody
4:34
Speaker 3: jumps in and just starts like you know, it's scary
4:37
Speaker 3: to me. Just a whole group of people and any
4:39
Speaker 3: kind of circumstance is very scary to me. Yeah, you know,
4:43
Speaker 3: and it bothers me, just like the sense of morale's gone.
4:48
Speaker 3: Morality right, no ethics, it's just.
4:51
Speaker 2: Kind of no consequences most of the time.
4:53
Speaker 3: No consequences.
4:53
Speaker 2: Well, you remember the Summer of Love that there were
4:55
Speaker 2: no consequences for those people that did that turn down cities,
4:58
Speaker 2: and I.
4:58
Speaker 1: Think that's why you'll see these things continue to happen
5:01
Speaker 1: until there are real consequences for it. Yeah, this type
5:04
Speaker 1: of stuff could continue to happen.
5:06
Speaker 2: I wonder if people will continue to rent out their
5:09
Speaker 2: airbnbas I mean they now rent out cars, right, I
5:12
Speaker 2: don't know, Paul Ta, we just did that and I think, Wow,
5:16
Speaker 2: what a risk to let someone else take your car.
5:19
Speaker 2: You know, It's it's really interesting. I don't think I
5:21
Speaker 2: would do it.
5:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
5:24
Speaker 1: I don't think I would either, because you just don't
5:27
Speaker 1: know what they're going to do in your car. You know.
5:29
Speaker 1: I've seen how people treat rentals, and that's mine. If
