Ang Akuan don’t forget the part where they say uhhhh sureee then don’t reply because it was already planned and they didn’t want to make any more additions to it
I got annoyed just watching that guy walk up to everyone and introduce himself. I can just imagine minding my own business and then this guy comes up and wants to know what I'm doing in order to check me off of his list of people to talk to.
Andrew Beaumont everyone had to be asked if they could be filmed and were all probably told what was going on because they are paying customers who are here at this pod so I'm sure the ppl not wanting to be involved weren't involved. That being said I agree if a stranger came up to be friendly that would irritate and stress me out but this was a definite ad/ awareness vid on the pod life and everyone showed in this gave their ok to be filmed or bothered so I don't think anyone was imposed on in this vid but I'm not a part of it so I'm not sure.
"Kelsi! So nice to finallymeetyoucanIcometoyourwedding?" Direct. Gets the job done. Definitely something I would've awkwardly done. Perfect. A+ execution.
KySempai only issue I have with it, is he didn’t get invited. He invited himself, which I would find rude. Everyone’s different but I wouldn’t have said yes unless I was actually planing on inviting them.
to be fair though, that's every introvert in a social situation. If we find one person we can cling to, we are more open to meeting others. They are cute though.
his whole goal throughout the stay was to get an invitation to the wedding but in a sly way and then he just got sick of it and was like *hi nice to meet you can I come to your wedding?!*
coconut coconut sharks at the disco Yeah! They live in a houseboat next. Check it out it's fun as usual 😂 And their friendship is progressing too which is very cute 😭
Imagine There are 3 introverted people driving a car while it's raining...then they ran out of Gas...then they stumble upon this Extorverted Stay in home.... An introvert's worst nightmare...
The strangest thing I find about this .. making breakfast first then offering it to people, instead of asking if people want breakfast and then making it for them 🤔
Did you all not watch the video? The place is built to start building trust between strangers in a open enviroment. If anyone there had a problem with no curtins then i doubt they would stay there...
Make this a series please. Where both of these two go live in different places with different things about them. I mean you already made at least 2 different episodes.
World Peace. Sex isn't everything. Sometimes it has its place and sometimes it doesn't. It wouldn't have been funny if I wrote something sexual here. Although at the last part of this video Garet was being straight up and saying he needs to masturbate, so maybe I could have done something with that.
I lived in a shelter once. For 11 months ( going from shelter to shelter) and it was 32 men to each “dorm”. It was hell because it stank (was a homeless shelter so of course.) people were loud, fighting and smoking crack/shooting heroin in the bathrooms. I imagine this would be great since it’s not homeless people and you pay to be there. I couldn’t do it because I’d have flashbacks to the homeless shelters.
As someone who has gone through I don't know how many shelters, it is indeed hell. I actually felt safer on the streets. There may have been two shelters where the people were kind and decent but that experience was not good for my PTSD.
Because they don't have the best reputation in many parts of the world. There are some great hostels, but there has also been a lot of issues with crime, drugs, uncleanliness, etc.
Hostels specifically in the United States are not good. They usually have a better reputation in places like London, Germany, France...European Countries.
I've been to lots of hostels all around Europe and never had a problem with any of them. They're cheap, usually very close to the centre and I always stay just for a couple of days so I don't care if they're not the most beautiful places to stay. I think as long as your standards are not too high and you want something cheap, hostels are the best option.
I went to Germany for a school trip once and we stayed in a youth hostel... one of the German kids from another school threw a knife through one of our windows lmao (I have nothing against Germany btw)
What wicked says is true, I havent been to prison, but I had to get through the KMT (getting to know time in Dutch) of my fraternity. A lot of my peers were constantly complaining, including afterwards. Personally, I thought it was a cool expierience, I pushed my boundaries and had fun. edit: its a hazing period
Anyone that was ever in the Navy is looking at this like, "What's the big deal?" I was in the Navy...this is like a vacation and a huge step up, with much more personal space.
I'm sure it wasn't an actual invite. I think he was just really trying to push to accomplish all of his set goals. I doubt that they actually invited him or that he thought that he would actually be attending. I definitely 100% still agree with you though, that part of the video was cringey af.
I know, right? It's a fancy hostel. I've stayed in cheaper hostels that are just as fancy (though I have to accept that prices will be higher since this place is in California) and they tend to have privacy curtains.
Tips to get a wedding invitation:
1.Ask them directly
2.That's all
Ang Akuan don’t forget the part where they say uhhhh sureee then don’t reply because it was already planned and they didn’t want to make any more additions to it
Tips to get a wedding invitation:

BEST LINE
*"Meeting people is exhausting"*
Way too relatable 😂
John Thomson, Absolutely correct
I identify with that statement soo much
No the best line is "no pod sex"
Pinky Fantasy you lacking best line “At some point. I gotta go home and masturbate😫 "
"Hi, nice to meet you!!!"
"hi-"
*"CAN I COME TO YOUR WEDDING"*
thunder no
Sure come
Nope,
Cuz I'm not getting married
You can come to my birthday
Why is every guy named garret always so tall, giggly, and adorable😂😂😂😂 especially garret watts
Megan Roderick yep
Megan Roderick YESS I love Garret Wattsssss
The same with the name Sebastian too. They are always associated with a butler job, strict and sophisticated. 😅
Iam a guy idk
ahahhaahahah yes
Can you imagine living there if you have anxiety? It would be my hell
Meg R I would be freaking out the whole time 😂
Meg R nah it would be fun
Meg R I wouldn't be able to shower eat or use the bathroom bc of my anxiety tbh
I suffer from anxiety but i think it would be like a good exercise to overcome it... its worth a try...
I cant imagine that, i would have a panic attack and feak out

A
I died
Yeah she felt pressured to say yes.it was really rude . I'm sure they talked about it after like wtf I didn't want to invite him .
I'm a SUPER direct person, so Garrett and I are together on this one! 😂
this should be re-named to 'the difference between how introverts and extroverts handle being forced to meet new people'
Yes 😂 that’s exactly what I was just thinking
True
I liked your comment because it's at 665, and im proud of it
Extroverts: easily chatting after a minute to settle in
Introverts: no
Who else noticed that Nikki was a hundred times more comfortable when her fiancee was there??
Too cute for this world
to be fair though, that's every introvert in a social situation. If we find one person we can cling to, we are more open to meeting others.
They are cute though.
Is Nikki gay
He didn’t ;-;

Wait that's illeagal
But the question is, did Garret even go to the wedding?
Nope...
he didn’t, niki said so in a later video of the same series.
Wouldn't it have been awkward if he did go cause they're not even best friends or whatever
No
no but he gave them a gift.
Am I the only one who thought the fact Garretts goal was to be invited to the wedding was adorable
No you're not! It was so awkwardly forward though lol. XD
Id stay in the pod all day watching tv. Not even joking

Kiley Bowser explain plsss!
I felt everything Niki did while walking around and asking if anyone wants avocado toast...That would be a nightmare for me.
same and the way the camera guy said “i’ll eat this one” you can tell he knew how she was feeling too
A dream for the extrovert - like the lady talking - an introverts nightmare - no escape.
waverleyrocker ikr
I'm ambivert
Big Daddy [OFFICIAL] what the hell?
I'm an introvert, but I've booked myself in here over the summer for a week to try and break myself out of my shell. Wish me luck!

Newline Cinema Presents.. "Introduce Yourself"
Garrett was really pushing that wedding thing 😂
He pretty much invited himself lol
The strangest thing I find about this .. making breakfast first then offering it to people, instead of asking if people want breakfast and then making it for them 🤔
@JeanClaude Clemenceau Definitely
"Is that a joke or a rule" new philosophy of life
i'm gonna start using this in my vocabulary
"Can I go to your wedding!!!"🤔😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Andrew Lopez if you dont ask you dont get
daniel zvonaryov wait what
Talk about dropping a bomb
This would be easy to make friends, "hey, wanna watch a movie in my pod?"
UwU Guacamole but no podsex
Morgan Renee yeah but they didn’t say anything about
Podsturbating
@@anademy8690 lmfao
Someone: Aww i just ate, sorry
Niki: it’s okay. no worries.
*basically me as an unsociable human being*
I would have dug a hole and hid for the day. I can't
Me
Imagine having to pee in the middle of the night.. and you don’t wanna wake everyone...
OneStrideAtA Time Yep. Just dropping something and everyone wakes up
In another place the beds are 'squeak proof'
instant anxiety attack
Or if you had to poop!
Or putting a pad on...
So did the camera guy stay there too?
Naomi Coraggio yeah he did
Did you just assume the camera persons gender
Your Mom the guy ate the avocado toast that is the camera guy
Your Mom 8:23 pause shows him as the camera guy and his name
I’m not assuming his gender
Garett sounds like a camp counselor “hey champ how goes making a friend” if that doesn’t sound like a camp counselor I don’t know what does
I will not live in the pod.
They can at least put curtains on the beds
I dunno bungee cords are pretty much the same thing
Well, so Garrett can at least 11:35
Majilani Collins Agreed, if I ever lived in a pod then I would get an upper one and put a sheet or something over those wires for privacy.
Malus1531 btw they are tight metal wires
If they were bungee cords you could easily fall out
Did you all not watch the video? The place is built to start building trust between strangers in a open enviroment. If anyone there had a problem with no curtins then i doubt they would stay there...
Make this a series please. Where both of these two go live in different places with different things about them. I mean you already made at least 2 different episodes.
Girl I think you're onto something
How didn't you say something sexual this time?😂
YESSSSS
it is a series!
World Peace. Sex isn't everything. Sometimes it has its place and sometimes it doesn't. It wouldn't have been funny if I wrote something sexual here. Although at the last part of this video Garet was being straight up and saying he needs to masturbate, so maybe I could have done something with that.
“I just want to see how many people I can shake hands with”
This is basically being a serial killer in 2020
Live in the pod, eat the bugs
The avocado Toast scene was the most cringe I ever experienced xD
Cthulhu same
Well Nikki is not that social soooooooooooooooo
I'm basically nikki when offering food
I would be happy eating that. Give it a go. Why not? 😂👍❤
Cthulhu I am craving that
I guess you could say they're two peas in a pod.

I could tell Niki was way more comfortable when her fiancé was there.
(I didn't know Niki was gay, not that I have anything against it)
As an introvert, my anxiety levels would be through the roof if I was in there
Crystal Wolf09 yeah
Big mood
Same here
Sameee
Same! I would try to be social, but I couldn’t do it. Lol!
This looks like my worst nightmare. I need my privacy or I lose my god damn mind
Kirsten Mueller me too omg. I have a roommate now like we share a room, but she's not bad! But this is another story
Seriously!! I got my own apartment for college, I could never share a room
Kirsten Mueller same here
Kirsten Mueller yeah, if i had to choose between privacy or my mind, i would choose privacy, because i already lost my mind a long time ago.

The camera guy (Eli) is a real one, bless him

That was a really forced invatation
It was rude

I definitely invite him to my wedding. He seems like he'd be a great friend.

hey army
Pretty much every introvert ever
1:47 - 1:54 Ummm... My sister had a bunk bed with a staircase. Whatchu talking bout girlll
Yes, it's kinda strange to define it that way. I thought it was called a pod because it has three walls.
Being told "you can come to the wedding if you really want to" is not an invitation to the wedding! It's just a kind NO.
yacine aouimeur really I think I need to rethink some decisions I’ve made

I have never been to a hostel, but why does she act like they are negative? I googled it and it looked like hostels are cool and cost effective
Because they don't have the best reputation in many parts of the world. There are some great hostels, but there has also been a lot of issues with crime, drugs, uncleanliness, etc.
Hostels specifically in the United States are not good. They usually have a better reputation in places like London, Germany, France...European Countries.

I'm like Garrett and Nikki combined.
Anyone that was ever in the Navy is looking at this like, "What's the big deal?"
I was in the Navy...this is like a vacation and a huge step up, with much more personal space.
Not that the job compares at all, but working at a summer camp for the whole summer is like this too.
It's cheaper to not even put in some sort of door or separator.
Hence, the reason to play up the "social" aspect.
I hate having to be around strangers 24/7 so this would be hell for me 😂

“no pod sex”
me: “i’m out”
Who's here after Paul Joseph Watson's video?
Me
Asking a non-confrontational person to go to their wedding is very much different than being invited to it.
I know right. i feel so sorry for her.
I'd imagine before and once the cameras stop rolling they would have actually spoke about it.
I'm sure it wasn't an actual invite. I think he was just really trying to push to accomplish all of his set goals. I doubt that they actually invited him or that he thought that he would actually be attending. I definitely 100% still agree with you though, that part of the video was cringey af.
Kassii Michelle 8π
I think Garret realized that because he decided not to show up, he did get them a wedding gift though.
So basicly it's just an improved army room
Duckface # yeah
Without the delightful wake up recommendations and feelings cards.
I love this thread
Duckface # omg lol😂😂😂

As an introvert who wants to step out of my comfort zone, I first and foremost needed an extrovert friend to help me start meeting new people.

The owner hates the word "hostel" but is literally that. Like exactly to the letter, lol.
She was so opposed to calling it a hostel when it's literally just a more advanced version of a hostel
I know, right? It's a fancy hostel. I've stayed in cheaper hostels that are just as fancy (though I have to accept that prices will be higher since this place is in California) and they tend to have privacy curtains.
