Drenys, the podcast from the comfort zone. I really think it's the most beautiful feeling when someone says a short-term appointment. Oh yes. When you say sorry, we have to move it now, I'll report. Wonderful. It's a pain in the ass.

And that's how I feel right now. An appointment was canceled that should take place immediately after this recording. I'm going to sign up. Wonderful. That's a pain in the ass. And that's how I feel right now. There was an appointment cancelled, which should take place immediately after this recording. On Friday afternoon at 3.30 pm. Absolute hell from a time, I have to say. And that cancelled. That means after this episode, I'm on the weekend. Bye, arrivederci, buongiorno, and goodbye.

Oh, that's so nice. I'm so happy for you, Chris. I have to be honest. Should I just take the mood down with the week's out? Wait a second, I want to say first, guys, we hope you're doing well, and if not, it's okay. Of course, that shouldn't fall under the table here. Of course, we're all going to be in trouble soon.

I can tell you that. Week's out for me is something from my life, where I'm facing the the same problem again. There are coated pans that you can't put in the dishwasher. And there are many. And I've read, I've been informed, most manufacturers say you can put the coated pans in the dishwasher. It's still being advised. My father learned to cook. He says, don't do it, don't do it.

You'll save the many people if you don't do it. And that's my Out of the Week. We have really self-driving cars. We fly to the moon, we fly to Mars. We have satellites, we have Bluetooth, where I still don't know how it works. But we still have covered tires that you can't put in the dishwasher.

And that's my Out of the Week. I stand there with these plastic pistons, have to unbuckle the thing, and think to myself every time, I just want to ban you in the dishwasher. Out of sight, out of mind. So you're also affected. You're actually a survivor. In the US you're a survivor right away,

when you have something. So you're a covered-up fun survivor. That's how it looks. And raise your fist to the sky, all covered-up fun survivors. We go through this together. I mean, we made the third nacho slit. That's a real... that's a sugar cane for us. I know there are covered muds that can be put in the dishwasher.

But not in this household. Yes, that's my motto. Just that there is still an existential right for covered muds that are not allowed in the dishwasher. Yes, I think so too. That should be banned, like combustion engines or something. that there is a right to existence for coated pans that are not allowed in the dishwasher. Yes, I think so too. That should be banned, like combustion engines. Exactly.

From 2026, you still have the time to dispel, to buy no new coated pans that are not part of the dishwasher. But also enough time to get used to the new pans. Exactly. We need a UN resolution. We need the charter, the charter of Cologne Ports. We have to call Eisenhower and Gerhard Schröder. We need the signature of you guys.

They're shooting at the charter. That can't be anymore. Maybe Gerhard Schröder's wife can pray for us that they survive the washing machine. But maybe there's something that upsets people and you, and I don't want to get too emotional about it. I've actually experienced something that's like a divine angel.

There are a lot of shopping carts that can be pulled out with a telephoto-like telescope. And what are they? They're always too short. Always too short. They always always crumpling a little bit. Julia, but our supermarket of trust now has new bodies in the range. What? That are longer.

The grip is longer. And I'm not telling you where it is. I'm not telling anyone where it is. With a long grip? I have to give the money. But it's so far away that I don't have to bend over anymore. No. We can go around in a straight line.

Shopping between the shelves., buy, enjoy a shopping experience without crumpling. Because honestly, these short telescope grips, you always throw the car around, I don't even pull it anymore, I always carry it like this, I take it like this and put it in front of me. I walk around as if I had a hip injury. Like Carsten Marschmann on a bike, I look like.

A little bit light-handed, like the Glockner, Glockler. I mean, hip damage. It's really... I look like Carsten Marschmauer on a bike. A bit like Leicht Schäbs. Like the Glockner, Glockler... The Glockler. The Glockler from Rotterdam. The Glockler from Rotterdam. Exactly, that's what I look like when I have these short hands. But now there are shopping bodies with longer telescope hands.

That's my end of the week. Chris, tears of joy are falling down my eyes. That's been a problem for me for a long time, these shitty bodies with these much too short, removable telescope rods. Not suitable for big people. I have to say, if I have the choice between normal body with a normal grip, which you can easily clamp under your arm, which I do now, by the way.

I also look like I'm on the market for a week, in principle. With this body. I take this normal basket more than this removable basket. I take into account that it almost breaks the basket when I put too much milk and drinks in it. And also a really sore arm. Yes, yes. I've walked through the shopping mall with two normal baskets

instead of taking these too short telescope baskets. And that brings us to the next problem. At the drugstore of my trust, there are these baskets, these big baskets that have a short handle and that you actually always fully pack. And they have so big holes on the sides that when you buy small things, small things at the drugstore, small guys, small nail polish, whatever,

that's where the stuff comes out. And I was just thinking about it, for what reason are shopping carts and shopping malls even, even, have holes? Julia, I remember when we were in a big supermarket and you said, I need a pen. And I said, what do you need a pen for? We live in a digitalized world.

And you said, boy, I have a reading journey ahead of me. Boy, I have to sign books here. Then I said, I understand, I understand. I see you. You will see it, school. I hear you. And you bought pens to try them out. Actually a bandwidth. A lot. I've never seen that before.

Definitely 15, 20 pens to try them out. How can you sign these books? What do you take with you on your reading journey? And then they went through the shopping cart. They went through the shopping cart again and again. And it made me so mentally tired. The writing department was at the very beginning of the business. And I put them in the cart at the beginning.

They rolled out again and again when I made new products in the car. I had to get so angry about this stuff. And then I asked myself, why is that so? The shopping cart and the shopping cart, they literally have one single task, and that is to transport things through the store. Why does something that the task has

have to transport something? Holes. Tell me that, please. Why? I can understand that you say that must be visible, that the people at the cash register have to see what is in the car, what may still be hidden, but then please make the car out of plexiglass. Yes.

You know yourself. I used to always clamp my fingers in this wire guitar from my car as a child. And I would lie if it didn't happen to me from time to time. Yes. Also just so cold and always this metal smell on your fingers. No, sorry, I don't understand that. Why are there holes in shopping carts? That doesn't light up for me.

My pens are, I don't know if I could buy them all, if I didn't lose some in the store, but I don't know until today. So I think it's also about the safety aspect, that you can see in quickly from the outside. I also believe that a grid shopping cart makes the impression that you haven see quickly from the outside. But I also think that a shopping cart in a grid makes the impression that you haven't placed so much of your shopping cart in there. Oh, consumer psychology!

If the walls were so plastic, so fully shielded, then it would look relatively full quickly. Not so airy. And everything is being designed on the shopping carts. They are being lowered backwards so that the stuff rolls back. And if you look from above, from the angle, it looks like you haven't had that much yet. I think we're being tricked. I think it's a game that's being played with us.

And you have to be careful about that. For me, the Plexiglas shopping cart would be ideal. I would maybe design a prototype myself. I have no idea how that works, but I'm open. I also put through the three nacho cuts. Why not the Plexiglas? I worked through it with my party on the municipal and federal levels. I invented the third nacho cut and put it into production.

I'd like to take the credits for that. And I'm not reluctant to bring the Plexiglas shopping cart to the market. There are people who come with their own shopping cart. There are these foldable things where you can just put it in the car. I see shops where you can't use your own bags. You've seen that you can't use the shopping bag to bring the shopping cart to the cashier. That's a risk I can't take as a trainee, to somehow dive into my own shopping cart

with my own plexiglass model with underground lighting. I don't want to be mentioned for that. Operational processes don't bother, is the creed. As a passionate shopkeeper, I've always liked to bring my own bag. But why are you doing this? Yes, what, 20 things go in and 19 go out at the cash register. It's that simple. No.

Yes, of course. Stop. And I think that's stupid. No, I think this policy is stupid. These are all huge corporations. Whether I have one more avocado or less, that doesn't hurt anyone. I'm going to bet on it.

Even for shop thieves, my party will use me. Look, I often go shopping and say, make yourself an avocado, I didn't pay more for it. Just to have a plus or minus. Right, a mix calculation. Any other rich bird can pay for me with the avocado. I'll do that. I say, another pack of flour, more on it, I didn't buy it.

But I have the feeling that someone else might not have paid for it. It's a review in progress. I want to stop it. I want to support the local retail stores. Yes. Julia, there are many appointments with your book. You're here and there. Yes, here and there. You're on the train and then you have to call somewhere or write something. How are you doing with these appointments?

You're going to publish your book on the 12th of November. I notice that because it's one day after November 11th. That means, Cologne people, you can get drunk the next day, you can read my book when you're still in bed. That's nice. Is it really like that, that people celebrate on the 11th of November? Sure, I've already experienced so much, Chris. I always sit there with a steel helmet under my bed

and hope nobody bothers me. And you're wiggling all the time, like a dog on New Year's Eve. I've got the can of ravioli under my bed in case I can't get out in the next few months. I think, now it's back to going on with the carnival. No, but I'm doing quite well with the appointments. I just have, I'll tell you, I have a lot of shivers in my ass. Because I just want it to reach people, you know?

Because I've been alone with this book for so long. And I just want to smoke it. And I'm also happy that I can finally present this book. Yes, I mean, you're a trainee, but sometimes I know you so well that you have shivers in your ass. And I mean, what's it like with a book? When you're writing, I haven't written anything yet. I haven't written a book yet.

Is it with readers and stuff, do they talk a lot? Or is it more like you're thinking on your own? I can't generalize that, but for me it's like that she doesn't talk at all, and that's just the best feeling in the world. But I think it's also because I'm making humor, and I have to say, the literature industry is not known for being a humor expert. I love my readers, they're super competent,

but I don't think they'd say, here's the joke, do the point, that's kind of funnier. They trust me there too, and that's the best feeling, because it's like a podcast, I just do what I want. And I love it. And I want to write books until my end of life. That's my big goal. I think you have to be humorous and trust people.

Although... Yeah, it's difficult. I'll put it this way. In Germany, basically. And I don't know... I'll put it this way. If you're humorous, if you want to laugh, if you think you're funny, I if you want to laugh, if you're a little bit of a I learned that from Markus Lanz. I have to say, when I write series concepts, it's not that easy.

You have to discuss a lot, although it's different depending on the company. You're given a lot of freedom. Sometimes it's like, you know it yourself. You write something, you write a script, then you give it up and you don't know how it all comes out. Then you see it and you think, oh, you're a jerk. It's the same with Mats matzahs on TV.

There's always so much discussion, everyone has an opinion, and then there are people who are hired to give feedback, and they only give feedback so they can give feedback. That's the absolute hell. I think everyone in their profession knows that. People who sit in meetings and only say something to make it said. But you have to satisfy them, because they should feel seen. And yes, it's complicated. But it's not like that with books and podcasts. I have to say, I'm becoming more self-confident now after the first book, where I was already very scared at the beginning,

because it was my first book and I didn't know how it all worked. But now I know that it works and now I have the second book and I feel more comfortable with it because I also had more fun writing. And I also have this, when you give it up, you first push it away and then people go over it. 37 people in Google Docs go over it and then you get your sentences right. And then you have nothing to do with it for weeks.

And then you get the flag to read it again in corrective form. And then with a little distance, in the weeks, of course, you start to think about scenarios. How scary it is, how embarrassing, that you can't go out to the public, that it's the last nail in your ass that gets hit on your career. And then really, over-thinking 7000. You find yourself incredibly embarrassing,

you find everything you wrote embarrassing. And then came the flag. And I remember sitting in the ICAE in Berlin and I said, come on, I'm getting in Cologne and I'm starting to read the flag. And I remember sitting in the ICE in Berlin, and I said, come on, I'm getting in Cologne, and I'm starting to read the flag. What's a flag? What does that mean? That means the last, the pressure. But you said the sabers, the sentences, what does that mean, ghostwriter?

No, no, grammar. Comma, error, grammar, all that. Semicolon, line of thought, absept. So nothing in there. And then I went through the journey from Cologne to Berlin. I was so relieved. I realized I still like the book.

I don't feel embarrassed anymore. I just want it to be published. I don't want to be alone with the book. I want it to be published. You can imagine that. I've read a lot of it, not everything. And I liked it. I see you in this book, not myself.

But I can see that you managed to bring your humor into the book. Because it's not that easy. You think things out, and in a podcast it's a bit easier. Because you can chat and don't have to think too much. Writing something down is a different form. Making a mat or a sketch is something else. But I think if people like your humor, what you're presenting here,

I think it's the book for these people. If you feel like, Julia, I like what she does, I can recommend the book. If you say, I don't like what Julia is doing, then buy the book anyway and maybe give it away. To someone who doesn't like it. Exactly. But I'm very happy and I'm also very excited about the reading journey,

which is unfortunately already sold out, but I'm also very happy with Nils Buckelberg, who will be moderating this, and I think it will be cool and it will be cozy and cozy and especially very funny. And I'm definitely extremely ready for it. I've now come up with a good sentence. I'm doing comedy to be able to endure better, and all other people too.

What do you think? I've come up with that. That's 100% true. I'm such a overthinker, and you too. And sometimes I have to come up with something that if I'm asked after that, I have something ready. Yes, that's a clever answer. Can I maybe look at that for interviews in the future?

That I maybe say something similar. Maybe I'll change it so slightly that people don't recognize it anymore. Yes, maybe change a clever answer. Can I look at that for interviews in the future? Maybe I'll do something similar. Maybe I'll change it so easily that you won't recognize us anymore. Yeah, maybe change a sentence and then add a comma, a semicolon and a line of thought. Then that's fine. Yeah, and I overthink. So think about it, overthink. It's of course deadly when you do that. You can't do it too much.

Although I think this podcast helps me to channelize that. So, overthink as a business model. Mashmai, invest now 120 million for 2% in my company. Overthink as a business model. Come to me and think it all over. Can't sleep, hear Jürgen Wiebecke at 3 a.m. I've heard that the rust-scratch has already sold 7 million times in the meantime. At the beginning it didn't have any sales, but now it's really going round. Is that from the ralphdümmel from the cave of the lions?

Yes, and I think ralphdümmel always invests in the absolute giants. Namely in the rostschreck, in the apple fairy and now also in the toilet star. He is the man for household items. For the rough, right? For the rough stuff. Why not say for the big stuff? That's not too bad for the toilet star. You recently saw Titanic on TV. I walked past you and Titanic was running. You said, Titanic is running.

I couldn't hear it. I watched a TV show and there was a scene from the movie Titanic that I didn't see it, I couldn't hear it. I watched a TV show, and there was a scene from the movie Titanic that I didn't know. And I thought, wait a minute, there's a modern adaptation of Denis Villeneuve and Timmy, Timmy V. Chalamet in the lead role. But it's not true. Imagine, I've never watched Titanic in full.

I've always only seen parts of it, parts of the back. Okay, wait, Chris, without spoiling you, do you know what happened to the ship? I'm not stupid. I saw that. I remember crying as a nine-year-old because of Jack and Rose,

but I thought, Rose, make room on the door. There's room. There was room. The poor thing slipped over. There was still room. There's really been room. Slip over, the poor guy, the ice-cold one. There was room, we didn't have to make it happen. Yes. So definitely, to Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, I can remember them.

I then stood there next to the TV. You noticed that. I couldn't dare my eyes. There are at the beginning, 20 minutes, that I've never seen before, where a research team is looking for the Titanic. That's the whole prequel. So I think to myself, why is nobody talking about it?

Titanic won so many Oscars. Everybody's talking about Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Let's go into the story. The story of the Titanic with Rose and Jack is only told because of these... What are these? Divers, researchers, scientists who find the remains of the Titanic. But nobody has ever talked about these actors, about these figures,

no one has ever spoken. I've never seen them again. No idea who that is, although they're actually the engine for the story. They're the reason why the story is told. That's right. And I think they were super proud and so on. And I play Titanic with them.

And I play the researcher who shows the video on the screen and plays the simulation again. I have the important part. In the first 20 minutes I have the speech text. It's really hardcore, dialogue, back and forth. That's a really big thing. I think that will be my breakthrough. I'm telling you, they weren't invited to the Oscar.

And 20 years later I realize that they're giving 20 minutes. How is that possible? I'd like to know what the actors have become. The old one, well, you probably know what happened to her, but the daughter, for example, she was over 100 back then. Yeah, well, yeah. Maybe she's still alive and is 125 years old. It doesn't want to get better, Julia.

I would give her a good one, she's a great actress. But the daughter, for example, what did she become? What did the researcher become? What did the researcher's boyfriend become, who always talks like a salop and brings the grandma to the grave? Because he's so insensitive to the fact that she has a trauma. What happened to the people? I have to say, when we were in New York, we were in musicals and I was particularly excited about one thing.

I find musicals sometimes a bit difficult when they take it all so seriously. I think that's kind of... I understand, it's a great performance and music is great and everything. But I liked the Titanic musical. Which is actually a parody of Titanic, but it's more about Celine Dion and her role in the song. It's told differently.

The story tells that Celine Dion was on the ship. I won't spoil it. It's only told that Celine Dion was on the Titanic. And that's great. The music is so catchy and has great production, but also so iconic, that's why it became hits and was so well-prepared. And we, the researchers, were missing that. There were no scientists.

I think anyway, an extra Oscar would have been won for the make-up of Cal, the fiancé of Rose, who just has such a heavy evening makeup on this ship. He has really intense foundation, but also mega-nice eyes. He has a kajal pencil and mascara, so really heavy makeup.

And nobody knows why. What's the reason? What's the context? Nobody knows. But I want to, for this makeup, which is legendary, and it was also included in the Titanic musical, I want to give an Oscar to Post Hume 25 years later for the makeup artist from Cal. You have to say, through 4K and these high resolution formats

that we have now, makeup is actually first really taken care of. And you sometimes see, okay, the transitions aren't that clean. Maybe it would have needed a touch-up between scenes. Because you can only see now how crazy it is. It's detailed. And sometimes not detailed. For example, when a guy is in a truck with a kayak. What's his name?

Robert Smith. Yeah, but Robert Smith is the guy after the Titanic's landing. And the guy is just before the landing. Advertisement. the Titanic. And the guy is just, box that will help you reduce planning and shopping stress.

I wonder, if the Titanic wouldn't the Titanic have been

a part of our category? Didn't it get kicked out as well? The whole time? Well, it gets kicked out and things that... So, at 423 NW in the Atlantic, that doesn't belong here. No, it doesn't belong here, really doesn't belong in the category.

Doesn't belong there, but doesn't belong in the category. Not there, but not in the category. The ship doesn't belong there either. The category is about things that are turned from evil to forest, to streets, to houses. The Titanic was, I don't know, through... Kept out of an iceberg. Yes, but by human failures. Or can you imagine that it wasn't intentional?

No, it wasn't intentional. That's pretty stupid. That would be a weird conspiracy theory. But I've got something for you, Kicked Out. And I want to play the trainer who will wake everyone up. Sure. KICK OUT

Kicked Out. This doesn't belong here. The because of an environmental crime. Unknown people in Korbacher Street at Dorf Itter created a huge amount of cable insulation on a forest road. A witness discovered the accident on Thursday, September 19, in Korbacher Street near Földorf Itter.

It was on a forest road near a former erotic club. It was about several cubic meters of cable insulation in different colors, which was obviously machined. For transportation, unknown people may have used a truck. Okay, um...

What's the deal, Dorf Itter on one side, Föhl on the other, Erotik Club, circumnavigations. I'd like to ask the most obvious question first. Erotic industry, erotic area, cable circumnavigation. Could it be that this is synonymous with condom? No, that's not true, yes please. Cable cover in the erotic field? No, no.

That doesn't have to be. It's possible. I just want to exclude things. I'm a middle-aged woman. I have a photo here. These are real cable covers. Someone has made a deal with the cables. That's not possible. That's not right. You can't do that. You shouldn't do that. They're probably not there anymore.

But why did they get there? And who did it? And why only the cover and not the cables? Well, there are many people who steal copper cables. Also from cable lines. Aha! And then take it off. But it could be, of course. The erotic club has closed, maybe they'll rebuild.

Okay, wait a minute. Maybe they used the cable for the light first, but then they didn't need it anymore, because they decided to make a big dark room. And then they said, here, Thorsten, if you go later, take two more 34 cubic meters of cable with you. We don't need that anymore.

From Monday on, we'll only do Darkroom. It's cheaper anyway because of electricity prices. We all know, crisis. You have to put it this way, Darkroom is a more sustainable concept during the climate crisis. You can save energy. The energy balance of every erotic club improves if you focus more on Darkroom.

That's probably the reason why so much happens in Berghain in the dark. It's a huge building. To light it up, to heat it up, it costs money without end. And the solar panels, it takes a long time to order. I've never seen solar panels on Berghain. That's all I can say. I've never seen solar panels on a mountain. That's all I can say.

Why do you want to imagine solar panels on a mountain? I don't know. You can bring a flashlight to the mountain, otherwise you slip out somewhere. You have to go to the toilet and it's dark. And cold. Well, there's light. Yes, but it costs.

There are also energy saving lamps. You can be sure. E27 or E14. That's the question. Which thread? But at Dorf Itter, at Föhl, at Dorf Itter, Kribo-Korbach, it's dark now. So the light stays there. There's a light that's gone.

You could say that. Yes, and cable bandages. To leave that lying around, you have to transport it first. And cable...... ... ... ... ... ...

... ... ... ......... You go to the Wärtschufhof, to the AWB in Cologne, next to Olli Geisten Studios. You can say, excuse me, that's not stolen goods. We just rebuilt an erotic club to a darkroom. We don't need the cables anymore. I have a good excuse from now on. I've experienced it before,

train failure due to overhead damage, there is no overhead anymore, because it's stolen. I've experienced that too. Who steals your overhead? I imagine that logistically. And also uncomfortable to do a darkroom on the railway tracks. Hahaha! Oh my god, now it's getting very confusing.

Maybe, I could also imagine, Rotiklub, how could you improve your climate balance, your CO2 footprint even more? We've already done the one darkroom, but maybe less is just put on electricity. Or cable, cable doesn't look good. Doesn't look good if you have the multiple sockets in the BDSM room. That doesn't matter. You don't feel good.

I think the future for erotic clubs, besides darkroom, is an inductive store. I think at Dorf Itter, inductive store, induction, just put your phone on... On the Andreas Kreuz. Exactly, on the Andreas Kreuz. If you're on the Andreas Kreuz, you can put your phone on the night table,

there you'll be charged inductively, no multiple plug-in, the coverings are already out. The coverings. Yes. Yes, what else should I say, Chris? The topic is wild. I think that will be the answer.

So darkroom, climate balance, inductive charging, overhead damage. Those are the keywords. Kripo Korbach, investigate. I'm very thankful that we have a very attentive community that always tells us immediately when something gets kicked out.

info-at-drinis.de is the email address. You can send intro tips there, Drinz Eider questions. The Drini of the month emails also go there. info at drinnies.de is the email address. You can send intro tips there, drinn-sider questions, the drinnies of the month email are there too. There's a package to win, a surprise package. That's a surprise because it changes every time what's in there, because we don't know it ourselves.

One more thing, please don't confuse, out of the blue, there's an accident and a truck flipped over and something happened. That's not the same thing. That's another category, we'll talk about it later. with an accident and a truck turning over and something happened. That's not the same thing. That's another section. We'll talk about that later. But here it's about...

The accident. ...if you really get something out of it with a preface, something that doesn't belong there. Not an accident. Yes, that's an accident. Watch out for accidents. Watch out for accidents. But there are more sections.

And in our section Intro by Tip we got all Bonheur signatures. And that's why it's time to share two Introvertips with the community. Andi sent them to us. So Chris, let's go! I'd love to! I think we have the top of the podcast listeners here at the start. I think so too. Absolutely brilliant tips. Things that make my life easier.

And obviously Andi has not only one but two tips, you said. Yep. Andi is a titan. He writes, I was so happy about your tips and would like to thank you with two introvertips. First, call the waiter in the restaurant. I often have the problem that I am the one who has the best view of the restaurant, i.e. sits with the face in the restaurant and sees all the services. That brings me to the responsibility to call the service. It is very difficult for me to approach people.

So my tip, while you sit down with the company, you sit down voluntarily on the spot where you're looking towards the exit or the wall. Yes, yes. That way you automatically take responsibility when it comes to calling the service. Often people want to sit down with their eyes on the restaurant because they want to watch other people

or want to watch the other tables eating from their own orders. Yes, I'm like that too. I'm more of the guy who says, I want to have everything in sight because I don't like it when behind my back a dolch is pushed into my back. No, the knife is pushed into my back. I've written a formulation for reality shows.

How often knives are pushed into your back? That's another question. The masks fall. The knives are pushed into your back, and in front and behind, and knife in front and behind, into your back, in the back and in the front and in the back. And with the knife in front of the head, behind the head, in the back, in the back. Exactly, sawing. I don't like it when I sit in the restaurant with my back on,

because I don't like it when I don't know what's going on behind my back. Yes. And I somehow sit down more and more often, that I sit on the wall with my back on. Mhm. Best also the corner space. So, in school I always sat in the corner, in the U. Mhm. That I have everything in view. In school I always sat in the corner,

so I had everything under my eyes. But now I have to rethink. There has to be a rethink. There has to be a detour. Exactly. Andi initiated it. We have to take it on the road. My party took it on the road. Right, as Olaf Scholz says.

Andi has a really tough, sharp tip. With a back to the event. So you can say, I don't have any responsibility. I think that's good. It's also a bit of a hassle, because I prefer to have everything in view. But he's completely right. I'm in so many situations that I'm like, can you please wave at the waiter next time she looks?

And I'm like, no, I can't. And then I pretend I didn't see her or she didn't see me. And he's like, sorry, I just don't get her. Also, that waving at people. I've really seen people waving at people. No, horrible. Are we in traffic? Horrible.

I've already told you that I've been in traffic and almost died. Yeah, forget it. I want to spend so much money on you as a traffic controller at a cross, at a well-known intersection, how you point to the left and right with a car vest. That was really stressful. Do you also have a triller whistle?

No, man, we're not in a children's circus. to see how you point to the left and right with a vest. That was really stressful. Do you have a triller whistle? No, man, we're not in a children's circus. Seriously, it's about right and order. About life and death. It's really about life and death. That's true at the crossroads. Really? Yes, really.

I've recently made this move, do you know this TikTok or reel from this boomer dad who actually makes the move out of one shot. Kellner in the calls. Hands up, the second hand goes to the other hand. You do a, I write on my hand gestures. I draw the bill. And then confirm with a thumbs up.

I just did it like that, it worked. That's such a dad move, that's incredible. I don't like it, you have the responsibility. I stutter my sentence that I don't like it. You have the responsibility. Yes, yes. I stutter my sentence that I have put to my right. Everyone goes out of the loop when I have to do that. I was in a beer garden recently and it was so cool. I've never experienced anything like that before. I didn't know that before.

But I was positively surprised. You could scan a barcode on the table, then immediately got the menu, then could order online in the browser and pay with PayPal, had no contact and then you just got the food on the table. That's brilliant. And I paid online and could even give online drinking money. I didn't have to do anything anymore.

Digitalization and drinniness, that's on hand. That's true. That's on hand. And people say, yes, digitalization, it removes people. That's social alienation. No, no. If I don't have to order in the beer garden, handily, verbally,

then I have more power to talk to the person who is sitting across from me in the beer garden. Right! And the service doesn't have to bear any assholes. Right! The keyword is drinitalization. And Andy, as I said, I already mentioned, is a titan,

also has a second introvert tip in petto. And he writes as I said, I mentioned before, is a titan, has a second introvert tip in petto. And it's written, imaginary pet. I should have thought of this tip much earlier. Unfortunately, I only thought of this tip when I got myself a pet. When I'm at a party once a year or visiting friends, I'd rather go again.

Staying longer than two hours, staying longer than two hours, I see as a torture. Unfortunately, it's common in our society that you feel like you're at a party from half a day to three in the morning. So my tip is to get an imaginary pet that can't stay at home for more than two hours. It's best to get a pet that you just bought. You can find photos of pets on the internet if you need proof. And if you want to visit the other party guests, you can say, unfortunately it didn't fit, we

had to give the little rascal back. Since I now have a pet myself, I have the perfect excuse not to be at a party for more than two hours. If possible, the pet can also be a deadly family member, because you have to take care of it. Here it is, the more you think about it, the more credible you are. He's right. That's really, that's really the case. The more you think about it, the more you think, the more you believe. He's right. But that's really the case. The more you think, the more you believe. I've always said in school, I've always made shit,

and I've always said, the more you notice, the less you notice. And it was like that. When I talked extremely loudly, it wasn't as noticeable as when I whispered. When I whispered, you immediately noticed what was happening. But when I simply brought my friends in with a self-concept, called them at the other end of the room, then it was somehow normal.

I also noticed a civil defense where I had to go every year and had to do a service to the population. That was usually a forest road with people who always only spoke under the belt, sexist, about sexism, racism, unbelievable shit working climate, because nobody wants to. I always thought, as much as possible, disappear in appearance, not notice, completely wrong.

You're always the first to be Andi is taking something that we have already recommended, you get under the wheels. And what did I do as Trini? I got under the wheels. Of course. Andy takes something we've already recommended, but in a different context. The house animal, for example, if you don't want someone to come in. Or if you don't come down, I think. Wait, sorry, I have the cat that wasn't vaccinated and has the scratches.

No idea. Tuberculosis. Right, and then nobody comes in. And Andy uses it as an excuse to go to parties, which is actually brilliant. Andi, you're welcome. You've done a great job out of necessity, I'd say. Genius tips. So the thought of a host here is often used as an excuse to go.

Yes, what would you do for a host? I think I would just say I have a barter gum. And he has diabetes, I have a barter. Garment and he has diabetes. I have to spray him. So I have to regularly spray insulin. My barter. And that's why I have to go now. Sorry, I can't stay for the noodle salad.

Sabine, my barter. Andreas has to get his syringe now. Yes, I would say I have a domesticated fox at home. And he doesn't feel so well on my artificial leather couch. Then I have to be out of time and again. Yes, couch. He has to be let out from time to time. Right. I have to feed him some more meat. No, what are you eating? A fox. A rabbit, right?

No, they're saying good night. No, they're not eating. They're just saying good night. Actually cynical, right? If you think that if foxes would eat rabbits now... I'll google it right now, night recording, if that's true. Probably not. Maybe it is. I'll google will. If you say, they say good night, what kind of cynical undertone is that? That means they're eating.

No. That's not for the rabbits. And Julia was asked this week, what are you doing this year on New Year's Eve? Do you want to come over? This week. And then I think, ah, cool, if someone who doesn't listen to this podcast,

all the embarrassing things I'm telling here will stay a little bit under us. I'm I think to myself, ah, cool, another person who doesn't listen to this podcast, then all the embarrassing things I'm telling here will stay a little bit under us. I'm looking forward to that. That's true, though. I'm always happy when someone doesn't know who I am at all. It's so relaxing. In everyday encounters with craftsmen or people who come to you.

Especially with family members. I'm also happy when they don't recognize me again. I say, the very large parts of my family really don't know what I'm doing. I'll put it this way, some of my family thinks I'm working at ZDF. Are you doing the weather there or what? They're in the TV garden. I'm cleaning the pool in the back. I also have an introvert tip. I also notice that it fits the family.

There are many birthdays, people get married, now they also have kids. Boo! And all kinds of things. People die too. Boo! Man, stop dying. Stop collecting. It's enough.

It doesn't have to be. If it works, don't die. At the end of the day, what unites us all, that we all die at some point, also a personal thought at the end of the day, what unites us all, that we all die at some point, also a personal thought at the end of the day. And I always think that's where operational processes should be important. Especially at such delicate, interesting,

emotionally charged events like weddings, griefs, births, birthdays, birthdays. And I always miss one thing, because you have to be quick, especially when someone dies or a child comes into the world, you have to send a card. Mir fehlt einfach immer eine Sache, weil man muss dann schnell sein, auch gerade wenn jemand stirbt oder ein Kind auf die Welt kommt, man muss eine Karte schicken.

Die Karte ist classic, da kann man was schreiben, man schreibt es von Hand, es ist was Persönliches, ohne viel Aufwand. Und machen wir es sich vor, man macht es auch, um sich selber nichts vorwerfen zu können. Richtig, ohne anrufen zu müssen. Ich hab ne Karte geschrieben. Naja, es gibt ja auch Fälle,

wo Anrufen einfach wirklich der falsche Weg wäre. Das stimmt. Also cases where calling is the wrong way. That's true. Birth, people have something else in mind than to take the phone or earphone off. Sadness anyway. And it's important to always have enough cards for all occasions. Yes! For every life cut at home. Yes! I buy myself a card for every occasion

every time I go somewhere. In the hardware store? Yes, exactly. Between Red Bull and Prickettes. Yes, very nice. No, seriously. It's always worth having enough of it. Because if you need it, it's weekend,

but you have to send it off. Because if you're late, it's not good. Timing is everything here at such events. Right. Emotionally charged. You don't want to be negative. And then it's stupid if you don't have one. On the one hand, cards for all occasions and

to have a letter mark at home. Always, always enough of everything. I'll be honest, I'm happy for my birthday one million times more about a card than about a call. Because with the card I can decide for myself when I open it, when I read it. And then I'm also very happy because I think someone took the time and sat down

and wrote a few lines for me. That's really nice. I was someone took the time and sat down and wrote some lines for me. That's really nice. I was just about to say, you can control yourself when you personally make the mistake. Yes! Yes, but when you call someone, it's really like that. Then someone calls you and you have to go to them. And if you don't go to them, you have to expect

that you'll keep calling them. Or never again. And it's both shit. And birthday calls, honestly, conversations are hard. You get called and then you say, yeah, thanks, and then the conversation is over. And then it's more talk. And then you get asked again, and you've had a lot of visitors.

Did you get any presents? No, no one comes to visit, no presents either. A cake, let's see if there's still a muffin at McCafe for me. Nothing has changed since yesterday. There's no reason why we have to call today. So, difficult. That's why we always have cards at home. And I want to send a little add-on.

We said some time ago, intro tip, if there are no more seats at DB, at Deutsche Bahn, in the IC or in other trains to book. When they're all booked out, you can look at ÖBB. Many people did that, got a lot of feedback. There was a lot of feedback. But you can also look at the Czech Railway. And book your tickets there.

So you buy German trains, and when there's nothing to book, you book it from another provider. Because they have a contingent, just like Ö ÖBB. And you can now also look at how it is in Belgium, how it is in the Netherlands, how it is with the SBB in Switzerland. Let's see, I don't know, but ÖBB is very safe and Czech Railways is also very safe. Sick! Yes, I should give that as a follow-up. Yes, then you can easily send a condolence card or a thank you card to the Czech Railways, right?

I'm already used to it. Do you like the cards that you open and then you get a cake? 3D-like. I like it. And when they start singing really loud, with a really bad quality, I'm really happy. These are good cards, but you can only send them to your birthday. So ironic. With really bad motives.

It's not about these emotional things. Marriage, birth, grief. No, it's not. But I'm also emotionally crazy now, because I feel at my inner clock that the episode is coming to an end. I thought it was about you. That too, but I think it'll take a little longer.

But strictly speaking, it's about the end, the time you're there. Where it starts, of course. Then it goes towards the end. Of course, we go towards the end you're there. Where it starts, of course. It ends there. Of course, we end every day. That's nice, isn't it? I don't want to drag anyone down here. No, but honestly, in the end we're all there. Wherever that is.

Where foxes and hares say good night, aka. They bite each other. And rituals that always go in a circle, they only distract us so that it's not a circle, but a straight line that's going to end. My brain is exploding, stop saying things like that. I'm going to write a condolence card for this podcast to end now.

It makes me sad, it makes me sad. But the good thing is... The episode, podcast episode, please don't... The podcast doesn't end, the podcast episode ends. You can trust our listeners a lot, but not everything, Juliette, you have to be careful. Not that it's like, I can't, the emails, no, difficult. Sorry. We'll laugh it off again and I'm looking forward to it. In that sense, I'd like to say goodbye. See you next Tuesday. If you feel like it, give us a five-star rating. You can save everything else.

Let's just do it. Let's do it. Five stars, I'm happy. If you feel like it, recommend the podcast to one person or a lot of people or to all comedians. Make a hangout on the blackboard. We're looking forward to it. I wish you a good week, see you soon and bye! Bye!
