0:00 thank you [Music] all right this is British woman uh who makes over 600 bucks a month renting out the other side of her bed what wait 600. I know what that means yeah that's also very low for that action is that Airbnb in your your mattress yeah your mattress while she's still on her side of the bed is she fine I mean she's not ugly she's charging she's cute is it sexual it better be do they have like a this is her a pillow divider what is it a cuddle buddy no it's just her side of the mattress her other side of the mattress what if you get hard in the middle of the night

0:50 and it brushes up against her butt so that person doesn't live there at all they just go in there and they sleep in the bed and then they leave I guess that's so weird it's called hot bedding apparently uh this is not gonna be a thing is that sharing bed share it's where you rent out the other side of your beds whoever needs it uh she is she's a 36 year old actually from Australia actually not Britain sorry 600 bucks a month is pretty cheap do you think so for just like half a bed and not not the apartment well because but then that's you're giving your privacy that's kind of knock the apartment I'm going to use the bathroom exactly like that should be higher price right a single person what if it's like a one night at a time type thing though like different people can come in at different times like hostel then that's even but that's 600 that's 600 total so that must mean like it's like 20 bucks

1:40 every ████ night yeah she's charging monthly it's the same person also isn't this kind of terrifying yeah exactly it's random low price point to put yourself at that much risk chick now she says she says hot betting is excellent for people who are able to detach emotionally and sleep next to another person in a completely respectful and non-strings attached manner it is a perfect situation especially if you are a sapiosexual what the ████ is that when you prefer companionship over the physical okay now I get it I do think it takes two people who respect each other's space values and boundaries to do hot betting yeah but then like hot betting can you what about night farts it's boring dutch ovens like there's a lot of things you can't do those are add-ons because you can't control that ████ so you're gonna be trying to sleep and then

2:30 ████ next to you is snoring up a storm shaking the bed with the night farts to be fair that's that's similar to a roommate that has like a a separate bed that might be part of why they like it though what about sleep apnea no one's talking about that oh I could just hear it right now from you but I can hear it already you know what's crazy back in the day um like hotels in Europe when you rent out like a night right you could be paired up with someone because the beds were bigger and then they would sleep like three to a bed two to a bed ████ yeah so it was like a air like when you book an airline ticket and you're right next to somebody but they would book like beds that way because beds were super expensive and people didn't have their own rooms when I was in Denmark I stated like a what do you call it it's kind of a hostel but you get your own

3:20 room but then you all share a bathroom in a shower oh it just has like a Commons yeah yeah yeah and dude the line was so ████ long to use the John and I was holding it for so long I just ended up peeing in the sink yeah I think you almost ████ yourself not ████ myself I didn't ████ in the sink I would have shot myself anyway yourself in your own house it's literally two weeks ago you did that I did and then I I did I climbed into the shower with my dirty clothes and then I washed everything and where was the poop again Joe oh all over the seat my legs it was on my underwear on my pants but where was it Joe it wasn't on the rug on the road so basically safe experience is what you say same thing as my hostile experience

4:10 it's nice to have someone that could relate yeah it wasn't on the rug I knew that's interesting it's always like when you hear these things you're like why would they do that and then it becomes like a a subset of like sexuality it's such a okay she's like I like the what is that companionship rather than the physical actual act like spooning and they don't want to ████ but they like the like being close to something I wish I had that but then how do you how do you filter out the people that are just like they just want to be near you and they're just like I identify as whatever the ████ you want me to just to be in the bed maybe there's like Yelp reviews like on Airbnb you know like they're like oh great guess they didn't try to ████ me all night very respectful dude didn't try to ████ me all night and said didn't try to ████ me all night it

5:00 sounds like Steve would have come up I like that that because if you're looking if it if this whole thing is about hey we have rules we're bed sharers right yeah and you know there's like rules like there's orgy rules okay people don't buy like if you ████ up with the orgy rules you can't come back to the orgy sure that's what I imagine this world to being it's just like non-sexual like it's the okay yeah it's like yo maybe there's a word for it like oh this guy he's like a he's like one of those guys that pretend to be one of us but then he'll try to brush his boner against your back you know you gotta check those Yelp reviews first or there's no guarantee that she's not having sex with them apparently sapiosexual didn't say anything about it yeah she could be ████ all of them she could just be when she said I wanted no strings attached ████ that just means she wants to ████ yeah and she said uh that's what I said when she started this

5:51 business uh she actually became single during covid she's she's like a teacher uh and her career became unfulfilling as classes went online to ensure social distance I got librarian glasses too is that my life was literally imploding Beyond My Control I knew my only option was to innovate and think outside the box and that's how I decided to do hot bedding in a moment's thought I swallowed my pride pride contact capsule my ex-partner who my hands spoke to in a year and said to him do you want to survive covid together and to my surprise it said yes I've rented to my previous partner now twice he will be sleeping with me again soon so like no guarantee there's no sex here is it just me like were teachers always ████ weird or are teachers getting weirder I think they're getting weirder she's just renting to her ex-boyfriend so it's not that unfamiliar she found a little hack

6:47 that's a side hustle that's not a business because that's like saying oh I started an Airbnb but it's all my friends and relatives that ran out of ████ rooms if they're paying rent but a real Airbnb what's up with somebody else and now you lost your whole ████ business yep I know that's your Prime customer yeah but it's six I mean 600 bucks a month is like that's a side hustle though yeah it's a six I hustle that's how big is the BET how what's the cost of living in that town because that might be a lot of money depending on where it is 600 a month yeah you don't need to answer that I'm not trying to Nick don't you yeah I just nicked on it please that's the room that's a big bed for the UK oh no this is Australia actually oh it's in Australia okay never mind it's a big window I feel like that works in

7:37 Australia though I don't know if that works in the states why because they're down under I don't know I just think the mentality is different you know yeah she should have like different classes ████ bad mate the economy you sleep under the bed and then under a bed yeah economy plus you sleep next to it and then first class you both sleep naked oh I like that I like that too no way see though no AC you don't let it oh never mind oh wait you need AC I need AC especially in Australia it's a cooling bed okay oh yeah it's a very Niche thing isn't it this is weird that they get to have sex I mean if it's exactly everything she says it is and there's no like secret nasties it's just like so Niche it's crazy the amount of sharing we do now is pretty crazy like you know that like pure space you got airbnbs and then now they even have like people rent

8:28 out their pools at the backyard for just a little bit Yeah and then there's Uber but then there's people that can do that what is the Uber one where it's like four different people it's cool over pool and then there's the storage one we did you can just like keep someone ████ in your garage for a fee oh yeah there's the parking somebody else's spot yeah the amount of sharing we're doing is insane now yeah that's cool though but we also live in a stupid world where they make up some new term like hot betting yeah but none of those none of those things can become sexual that's the difference yeah that's true imagine you just go to store your boat they're like I ended up getting ████ over well you could you could probably ████ someone in there Liverpool has gone sexual then then yeah then that can happen month commitments though dude like a month commitment a sleep next to somebody you you may or may not know like that's kind of sketchy it seems like at least with storage

9:18 things and all those things it's like a service that you need but then this is just something you want to do well sometimes you need a place to sleep don't you but they're not unless they're homeless that's will she take homeless people what if I'm a tourist yeah I mean and like I'm taking homeless people bro I don't want to be at a hotel she's not taking people that need it she's taking people that want it yeah but for the most of human history it was pretty normal to sleep in big groups it's not like this is a new idea now I was thinking about Viking houses it's just one big house and everyone's living together ████ and ████ all in this yeah in the same there's no ████ same house it's one big long house and everyone just slept together

10:10 and then people be ████ and making kids and ████ like that so back then Vikings didn't have any variety of living there's no privacy it was just one big house well they didn't invite invent drywall yet now I have dry logs pretty nice yeah it's easier to make dividing areas they were called Viking long houses why didn't you pick that article we already did this one a long time oh we did that one already quit our job to become full-time witches is now making thousands every month that's a way better article with a better art yeah this was in May hey host code host code yeah dude true no PVP I'm sorry no host on host
