Chapter 1: What are the crazy stories shared in this episode?
Okay, Familie.
Are we seated?
I'm like filled with vengeance right now. I'm like, I wanna kill him. And you'll never know what I'm talking about.
Maybe it'll be in the bloopers someday.
No, you can put it in. I said all that shit with my chest before publicly.
He wants it to be in.
I know, I'm like, put it out there!
Chris fühlt sich schmerzhaft. Stör den Pot.
Ich störe nicht einen Pot.

Chapter 2: Is a low-effort proposal still special?
Was I supposed to collect stories? Yeah, you're up next. Yeah, you're the next one. But I'll go first. No, I'm just kidding. Oh my god, I felt like I was in high school all over again.
Jesus fucking Christ, that was so scary. I was like... Oh, I totally didn't do that. I was probably told about that.
Okay, anyways, let's hear these. You guys, this is from r slash relationship advice. It's also a little vintage. It's a year old. And the title is my 33 female BFF 32 female ditched me on a vacation. We spent years planning after her boyfriend 30 male proposed on the first night of our vacation. Verdammt! It was kind of split 50-50, since this was supposed to be almost a two-month trip.
I personally have been saving for years now. One thing to note is that Anne is fluent in the primary language of where we are vacationing, while I am not. I can talk to some city people enough to get by, but once I leave and the slang and dialect start popping in, I'm lost. It was just supposed to be me and Anne.
However, a last-minute addition was made with her including her current boyfriend of three years. This was more or less dropped on me pretty much two weeks before we left. Ich war wirklich unglücklich mit dem, weil, naja, es hat viele Pläne verpasst. Aber ich habe ihn begrüßt, nachdem wir ein paar Dinge wiedergearbeitet haben.
Jedoch habe ich Anne mehrere Male und ihren Freund gesagt, dass diese Reise über uns geht, nicht Anne und ihren Freund. Die erste Nacht, als wir da waren, hat Mark zu einem Knie geschlagen, den Ring rausgezogen und sie gefragt, ihn zu heiraten. Since then, I feel like a third wheel who is no longer welcome on this trip. This has changed everything.
The trip is now basically about Anne and her new fiancé. Multiple times we had a lot of plans, including some stuff that was already paid for. And instead, she ended up ditching me to go spend time with Mark. Sie sagte, es sei gut, aber es sei wirklich nicht komfortabel. I tried to talk to her and she got really upset and told me this vacation isn't just about me. And that hurt a lot.
Well, yes, it isn't about you at all.
Now pretty much I'm going to be spending Christmas alone in a country where I don't speak the language. I got pretty emotional and asked her, WTF am I expected to do? She got really defensive and said it's just a week and we're here until early February. She'll meet up with me on New Year's, New Year's Eve or the day after.

Chapter 3: What are the travel tribulations discussed?
I forgot that there's always like comments and stuff.
But I do want to say like, I think proposals are one of those things that are really interesting for me. Because it's like, this proposal is about the person that's getting proposed to, right? So it should be what they want. Mhm. But at the same time, it's also what the other person wants and how they want to show the love and the care for that person.
So I hate to be like, well, the proposal is only about her. She should have gotten what she wanted. It's about them and their love. And this was thoughtful. I wanted to be in Monterey, where we first went on a date, where we first... Doing what we did on our first date.
Like, that feels thought out to me. Like, yeah, did he not pick the Airbnb? Sure.
Ich weiß, die Leute schreien wahrscheinlich, wenn du hier seit Beginn bist. Es gibt eine Geschichte, die Justin und ich hatten. Und es war so, dass dieses Paar sich engagiert hat. Und es war so, dass sie in ihrem Apartment waren und überall Kugeln gesetzt haben. Und das war ihr Vorschlag. Und ich war so, ein Apartment mit Kugeln? Bin ich jetzt auf der anderen Seite von dem jetzt?
Ich bin mehr wie in dem unerwarteten romantischen Boot, wo es so ist, was du willst, für jeden ihrer eigenen. Wenn 100 Kugeln in deinem Apartment ist, was du willst, mach es. Unfortunately, this isn't what she wants and I'm scared to get into the comments, but here we go.
Yeah, I'm really interested to see what the comments say.
So, top comment. Das ist ein ziemlich großes Problem. Deine Freundin ist nicht traurig über den Vorschlag. Sie ist traurig, dass du sie nicht gut genug kennst, um zu wissen, was sie wollte, auch wenn sie das nicht artikulieren kann. Das ist, was sie expressiert. Dass du sie nicht gut genug kennst, um etwas zu tun, was sie eigentlich mögen würde.
Oder vielleicht, dass du es wusste und einfach nicht gewählt hast. This is like intense. It takes that...

Chapter 4: How should you handle family vacation disagreements?
But at the end of the day, I'm just like, I don't know. I just don't think it is that deep. But again, I'm not like someone who...
I can see both sides. It's not that deep. It's dress up. It's her having fun. They both wanted her to get a fake ring.
Let's say she got a Birkin. He gave her a real Birkin. A black Birkin, silver hardware.
Just a classic.
And she's like, I'm going on a trip. I don't want to ruin this one. So I'm going to get a fake Birkin. And she gets the Himalayan Crocodile. But it's fake.
But it's... That's not her saying...
Yeah. Yeah.
No, I do think that that's exactly what her mindset was.
She's just like, wow, how fun it'll be to have a fat rock on my hand. Not, I need a fat rock, but like, wow, how fun. I bought a fucking fake engagement ring off TikTok because I'm like, how fun to have an engagement ring. But it's just like, it's like buying a wig. It's like, I don't hate my hair. I just sometimes want to play around.

Chapter 5: What do you do when a friend ditches you on vacation?
I mean, I feel like that might be a lot of the time why people don't give updates, if things have gotten really emotional. I don't know. This doesn't seem relationship ending. He just needs to speak.
I don't know. If I were her, I'd get the fuck out.
Oh, if he handles every disagreement like this.
If this is how he's handling fucking cubic zirconium, we are cooked, dude. I mean, what's he gonna do when she finds out she took Plan B or something? I mean, God, he might... I don't know. I'm so tired of hearing
Well. You're like, well, here we go. Let me see what I have for you. Any dogs? Okay, let me see what I got. Okay, I think I'm going to give you guys a choice on this last one.
Oh my god, we got a choice?
A choice or a coin flip. You can put it to either. Option number one. Am I the asshole for canceling the entire vacation when I found out that my stepdaughters deliberately hid my daughter's passport to get her to stay home?
Oh my god.
Option two. I'm gonna have an answer. Am I overreacting? Husband says me taking a bath on vacation is unreasonable.

Chapter 8: How to navigate group dynamics while traveling?
I'm terrible. If a person wakes me up, I get mean. I get crabby.
I wasn't awake to know I did.
Sorry.
Und ich dachte, was meinst du? Und sie meinte, du hast mich in den Gesicht geschlagen. Und ich dachte, was? Well, that wasn't me.
That is so unlike you.
Yeah, right? I would usually punch my brother in the face.
This is why you need to use alarm clocks, people. It's safer. Moving past this, I feel like I need to put a poll, though, to the people to be like, do you guys sleep with blackout curtains? And would you rather have an alarm clock? I don't know.
What time do you wake up with blackout curtains?
I set my alarm for 9am.
