Reading about an Airbnb host who’s taking four properties off the app and he cited these “draining” stories. These are actually totally normal issues…in a hotel. You tried to run a hotel without a front desk.

Told my girlfriend that when Lucille 2 dated Buster in Arrested Development, it was a reference to Liza Minnelli dating Lucille Ball's 20-year-old son in real life in the '70s, and she said that's the last fact I'm allowed to tell her for 2021.

One scam we gotta end, whether its Ticketmaster or AirBNB or anywhere, is the "service fee" they tack on at the end. We already have a fee for service, it's called the PRICE. They literally are saying, "here's what you owe me, and also here's what you owe me for owing me."
