It's ZM's Brie and Clint podcast.

How did the hosts introduce the simulation claim and set the episode's theme?

Joanne McNally 0:06
I want to talk about how we're all living in a simulation. And I've got some great evidence to present to the people this afternoon.
Caller (airbnb story clip) - Unknown 0:16
We get to our Airbnb in San Diego. We're looking at this picture and my dad is like, this looks like me. And I'm like, dad, what? No, this is my dad. That's my sister. And that's Brady, my brother. They're literally in the Airbnb picture.
Joanne McNally 0:32
So get this. What? This is a clip of two sisters who booked an Airbnb in San Diego.

What was the Airbnb beach photo coincidence that sparked the simulation discussion?

Joanne McNally 0:38
They've never stayed. Or I believe it was in California. Yeah, San Diego, California. They booked this Airbnb. They've rocked up and there's a picture on the wall. You know those pictures that it's like an aerial view of a beach and there's people all swimming in the beach and they're laying on the sand, but it's an aerial view.
Clint Roberts 0:58
And so normally you wouldn't even know who was in this because there's hundreds of people in the pool.
Joanne McNally 1:03
Yeah, there's heaps of people. Anyway, they start looking at this picture, as you do, and they're like, God, that looks like our dad. And then as they look closer, they see that the girl standing next to the dad is one of the sisters that are there at the Airbnb. And she goes, that's me because that was the bathing suit that I was wearing. And then they can see their brother just like a couple of metres away in the photo as well. And it was from 10 years ago, they reckon. Like looking at themselves and the swimming togs that they're wearing, they're like, this photo was taken 10 years ago. They didn't know it was taken of them. but they're in the photo at the Airbnb that they've booked.
Clint Roberts 1:44
That's so bizarre. That does make you think, though, about the amount of times there's thousands of those kinds of photos out there. Yeah. And I often sometimes think when I'm on the beach, I better pull that wedgie out, better, you know.
Joanne McNally 1:57
Are you thinking at the beach that you're going to be in one of these photos? Is that what you're thinking?
Clint Roberts 2:03
You don't know what you are going to be in the background of. Are you expecting to be scouted as a model every time you go outside?
Joanne McNally 2:13
Are you expecting to be Miranda Kerr, are you? I bloody wish.
Clint Roberts 2:16
No, but think about it. There's so many influencers out there these days. Every man and their dog's trying to be one. This was 10 years ago. Yeah, 10 years ago there was Instagram. Imagine being in the background of a photo and you're pulling out a Ouija. Think about it. So were they looking good? Well... They were children, Georgia.
Joanne McNally 2:36
I love that that's what you're focusing on. They were kids. Well, we didn't know the age. On a family holiday with their dad.
Clint Roberts 2:43
You're not gobsmacked. You're not shocked. Yes, how did they end up at a random stranger's Airbnb? No, that's what I mean. We're probably all in people's Airbnbs.
Joanne McNally 2:53
And there's only one explanation, guys. What? And it's because we're living in a simulation.
Clint Roberts 2:58
Okay, who's running the simulation? We don't know. It could be, as you mentioned, the Truman Show. Honestly, I do feel that sometimes, that we might be like an avatar in a little incubator.
Joanne McNally 3:10
Could be. I've got more evidence that I'd like to present. Oh, my God, go. On this post, people started commenting other similar stories about why we're living in a simulation. Do you want to hear some? Okay, yeah. Okay, so here's what... Someone wrote this. They said, "'My uncle got sent a postcard from a friend who was on a holiday.'" In the postcard picture was my granddad eating an ice cream. So the uncle's dad. The friend wouldn't have known that it was his dad because he had passed away many, many years earlier.
Clint Roberts 3:44
Oh my gosh, that hurts my brain. Okay, wait. How? Is this not more invisible string?
Joanne McNally 3:50
Okay, ready? I've got more. I've got more. Sit back and relax.
Clint Roberts 3:53
I'm relaxed.
Joanne McNally 3:54
I flew to India and travelled up to the Himalayas to my old boarding school where I was going to teach for the summer. On the first day, I was looking at the school photos in the cafeteria and a lady was standing next to me also looking at the photos. I said to her that I'd gone to boarding school here 40 years ago and that this was my first time being back at the school.
