Drainys, the podcast from the comfort zone. Hello, Julia. I haven't been wearing underpants for five days. For some people, the underpants are an out, maybe for the last five days. For me, they are an all-time in. And I want to ask you, what's your in the week? Before that, but another proclamation. We hope you're doing well.

And if not, it's okay. Julia, what's your in the week? Did you bring something with you? Let us know about your life. Gladly. My in the week are load lifts. So big lifts that are so big that you can also drive in there with a small car

and maybe park parallel. So that I could also drive in there with a small car and maybe park parallel. So that I could drive in there with a 400 or 500. I feel good there, I have space, I can breathe. I think load-bearing is great, that's my thing. But I would be interested in where in everyday life you encounter load-bearing. I'm curious to know that you work as a logistician. Honestly, you just have to know how.

You have to know where the good elevators are. There are always those for the general public, for the people, for the people. They are always small and tight and sticky and then still a little bit cleaned out. But the real elevators, those are the rough ones. The rough elevators. There is still a wooden coating on the walls,

they are scared of it, that it is nothing new, the floor is dirty, there's still life in there, you know? There's still the pure life, I feel good about that. And I always try to find a real elevator, when I'm somewhere, like a employee, where you can only open it with a key card.

I always try to sneak in when someone goes in. Sometimes there are I go to the bar and let myself run around. And when I'm in a good mood, I do a bungee jump in the middle of the night. I can understand that very well, what your feeling is. Small trips are a problem. Because then the question doesn't arise, do you fit in there? Even on vacation, I've experienced a few times where I would have said as a middle-European, is already full, with two to three people in this trip. But people who apparently live in New York are very used to

to ride elevators. That's my interpretation. And they are still slinging in. Where I already said, wait for the next one. Yes, above all, they are so impatient. They always have to go everywhere very quickly. And that's why, even if they stand at the other end of the lobby and see at the other end of the room, the elevator is just closing. We would of course think, oh thank God, they're leaving,

then we're the next ones, then we can drive alone. But they think, I can do that. And then they run fast and look at you like, stop the elevator. And that's actually not our thing. That's why load-bearing. I don't know if it's smart to say that in a podcast, do you think there's not a big run on load-bearing and soon I can't drive with it anymore smart to say this in a podcast, but isn't there a big run on load-bearing trains and I can't drive with them anymore because they're all so full?

I don't know, I like it when there are boards on the wall that you mounted afterwards, so you can drive in there with a pallet or a stave, where you can't really get a meter of it. Yes, places where pallets are, I feel comfortable. Pallets, they shine a kind of peace, something permanent. Palettes are peaceful for me. That's a peaceful atmosphere.

I also have an out of the week, with me not everything is just eidl sunshine. I don't like hazelnuts at all this week. Hazelnuts are my out of the week. Maybe even the out of the year or of life. I actually hate hazelnuts. You have to say the pure hazelnut. The things that come out of hazelnuts are delicious.

But the pure hazelnut is just bitter for me. It's always a little too hard. You always bite off half a tooth, then you still have hazelnut between your teeth. I think hazelnut is beyond the measure. I can claim from myself, I have no opinion on hazelnuts, which is as liberating as possible. Also to say, I have no opinion about hazelnuts, which is the most liberating. To say that I have nothing against it,

that it exists with me in this universe, on this planet. I accept it the way it is. And for me, a hazelnut doesn't have to work on itself or process itself into a nut-nougat rule so that the hazelnut is convenient for me. It exists with me, I give her my hand. So it's a peaceful coexistence. Sure.

That's democracy, too. That's right and important. That was my In-and-Out of the Week, Chris. How are you? What's new? Well, different things, various things, I'd say. But at the top of my list of characteristics, a thing that is annoying me, we discussed it in the last episode, and I can hardly go shopping anymore because I always hear

is there a you in the room or is there seated among the employees? Everywhere I am. In the drugstore, in the supermarket. I hear it very precisely now, I also inspect the name signs very precisely. Mostly it says, at least my observation, Fraufr.müller or herhr.müller Yes. And we discussed in the last episode why people sit in the supermarket

among the employees. They will probably know each other, they know the first name. We got a lot of messages about it, but for me there is not really a proper explanation. No, I haven't really figured that out yet. Many people who work in the retail

have contacted me and said they do this to protect themselves, so that you don't reveal your first name to the customer, so that the customer doesn't know your name and doesn't try to address you with first names. Which makes no sense to me. It's about the distance to the customers. But what does it do to me

when I know the person at the cashier is called Peter with a first name? Can I insult him more when I know his name is Peter? I can also be impolite if I only know his last name or no name from him. You can also say, Mr Schneider, you asshole. Yes, really, fuck you, Mr Schneider. Fuck you, Mr Schneider. What makes no sense in my head at all? Maybe it's just Germany's data protection country, maybe it's just that Germany is the country of data protection.

Maybe it's just that you have to have enough income. Because otherwise you can also get other things. If you have before and after name, you can also have the address and you can also google the ICQ number and everything. Do you know what I think, Chris? You're used to Switzerland and people in the shop are just fighting each other. But people still have this distance,

which they were. But in Germany, I think it would be more convenient if they would start to write their first names on it. Then they would somehow shout through the shop, Oh, she, tell me what the ketchup costs. That would be it. And honestly, that would be unpleasant to me if people would keep talking to me.

That's a disrespect. When this closeness is suddenly overshadowed, they're strangers. Why should they address me with my first name? But that has nothing to do with respecting someone, or addressing the person with first name. I still go and say, Peter, what's the price for the canned food over here?

Nobody does that. You say there's no difference in respect to the person if you address them with first name or last name name? No, I would just never address them with a first name. And in my opinion nobody does that either. Should I put on a hat so that people don't know what kind of hair color I have? So that they can't insult me because of my hair color. Chris, sit down. You're totally upset. Why are you so upset about the topic?

I just got an email from Nina and she has a slightly different perspective. In the current episode of Brüfu's, talk about the supermarket employee who sometimes gets jealous. I have often worked as a helper at the bakery and I have observed the following. Whenever the relationship between people was tense, it was polite and nice to others. If you have a good understanding, be patient. In my current branch I am really happy and we're also sitting in front of other people. It sounds like we're kissing, we can even hold hands in front of our family.

They know we're a couple now. In another bakery branch where the relationship was not very difficult, I was only seated. I explain that on a narrower seating level it's more audible when a problem level when there's a problem or the way things are handled is unusual. And when you sit, nothing can be heard from the outside. So it's really a distance. Poker face. Maybe it's just a coincidence and I'm the only one. But if more people say that, we might be on the same page.

I'm looking forward to the next episode and hope you'll do it forever. Yeah, let's see. I was also approached by another person. She recommended this podcast to me at the very beginning, when we met. And now we're good friends. Shame who thinks bad. Shame who thinks bad.

That's a 1A email. Nina, super rounded off. Greetings Nina, she's still writing. Yes, so... Nina, all good. Yes, so that's another perspective, where it's actually more about building a firewall on the outside, when both ovens burn in the bakery branch

and the log sticks burn in there. And then you say, Ms. Baker, could you come back? We have a problem with the oven. Instead of Julia, come back, the whole booth is fiddling. Yes, I can understand that, that you want to create a unity in the team. But honestly, it still doesn't really fit me. Chris, we're a free country.

You can reach a petition, you can form a party, you can get up. You can do something about it. You can even go to the European Parliament. You just have to put on a hoodie and pull the hood over your head and then you have a chance. Hahaha! Online petitions are also very useful. That's something I've learned.

It's great, you can write your name on the internet, and it's very useful. That's what I've learned. Let's not be so cynical. It must have brought something here and there. I had no idea about anything, Julian. I want to say a nice sentence, at least that the topic was brought to the table.

Is that how you say it? To the table? What does that mean? I thought table. What is a table? Did I invent that? I thought that's possible. I thought that's how you say it, to the table. Julia, you're very creative in dealing with words.

That's a neologism crisis. I have to google it right away. Maybe I really found it. But maybe it exists. No, petitions are certainly helpful. Petitions are great. Chris, make a petition that you are now in the retail business and all of you. No, it's not important to me if you are in the retail business.

I don't understand. Yes, I really notice that, Chris. That this is not so important to you. You are standing here in the room, Tigers nervous. Are you still okay? Julia, sit down, please. Sit down, it's all good. I think I have to go to your class. I have to think about myself.

The question is, why do you say, Mrs. Müller, will you help me with the canned goods? I can't figure out why it's so unnecessarily complicated. Another petition that should be started, also on the topic of internal communication, and I wanted to discuss that with you, a phenomenon that I often, in every second call with a production company,

not a tablet on the table, is that people start dissing projects from other companies. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I don't know if you know that. We both work free. Here, there. Day-lenders. Today, here, tomorrow, there.

Sometimes I'm standing in the street with a vest that's so knotted, a cord vest. And then I have a ring in my ear. The comedy wanderer. Then I ask, could you take me to the MMC studios? Karl Scheurend is stirring. I have to write a few moderation texts for Olli Geissen. Maybe there's a shop there.

I'll knock on Günther Jauch's door. That's how my daily life looks. And then you're at Olli Geissen in a production company. And then they talk about a new project. Then you want to write a series. But then they first make a video of what the others are doing. Production company A makes production company B. So, next week I'm at production company B,

as I said, again on the street, hear Karl Scheuen, do you have anything left? Daniel Hartwig, he probably needs a good man in his carter. I'm taken with me, I'm at production company B, and then they say, everything production company A does is bad, that's really the worst thing we've ever seen. That's the worst thing they've ever produced. Why is there already three and a half seasons?

Why is it extended to the fourth season? It's inexplicable. And then I think, last week I was at production company A. Let's see what's going to be discussed at production company C next week. Let me guess, because the other two are also being dissed. Something that doesn't come to me, and also that people don't come up with it themselves. And I always ask myself, why do you get so close to your own employers

that you feel like you have to diss other employers? So not the employment conditions, but what's then on the market, what's then shown in some streaming media? Yes, I can tell you that. Because companies just go one way and do it, that you feel very belonging and want to separate yourself from other people. And of course, out of the complex, that you yourself maybe would have liked to do things

or the feeling that you could do it just as well, at least just as well, but didn't get the chance. And it's a kind of trot and an injury. Actually the same as everywhere, in these schoolyards, in the lathes. It's always the same, it's always an insecurity. And it only occurred to me since I'm independent. So before you're in it yourself,

you're on one side, you feel somehow belonging, and then later you realize, what a embarrassing shit. It doesn't matter. And the people who are the most annoying are quickly at company B, because company A has thrown out or has not extended the contract. It's that fast. So I'd like to make a petition for that. Maybe I'll start in the supermarket,

talk to the people with you and ask what you think of it. Yes, I bet with Elika they people and ask what they think of it. I bet with Elika they will also talk badly about Rewe. And with Rewe they talk badly about Aldi, I don't know, that will probably be the case. Yes, the attitude is one thing, but if they talk well and cheaply badly about the products of the year, I personally have a problem with that. I was at IKEA, so we were in IKEA and we experienced something interesting. I want to reconstruct that in media series, because it woke me up at night.

There was a car accident. A shopping car accident. We took a car and there were only two things in it. Once an ice cream portion here for 99 cents, which is very small, made of plastic. And then a bathtub. Those were two things we had in the car. It was a very sober expansion.

Ikea, I don't know, at the moment, no good things, no nice things, I didn't like it that much. We only had these two things in the car. Then it occurred to me that we were at the decoration department at some point. And I thought, I'll go on a hike now, I'll see what I like, what invites me to go for a walk, what do I want to take home with me today? I left the car out of sight for a moment and the punishment followed on foot. When I came back, the car was gone.

And I already saw it in your eyes, I saw it in your eyes. You saw it in real time. You saw a foreign woman taking our car because she thought it was hers. And you just walked slowly, proudly through the shop. I watched exactly how she grabbed the car. And in the moment of the grip, I said to myself, I sat down by the way,

Mr. Sommer, you can't change anything. You split it yourself. That's lost. Mr. Sommer, you have to go back to the beginning of the purchase, fill the car with the ice ball portioner and the towel, that's over. Because she hadn't even looked in the car yet. She just grabbed it intuitively and then drove away. And I thought to myself, well, he's really lost now,

but something diabolical in me has triggered it, where I said, now I have to turn the skewer around. I watch the whole thing and want to experience the moment where she realizes that this's not her car. The thing is, she then went into the plant department and for me it seemed like we were nature documentary filmmakers who are now going after the peach. So we went after the tall, monstrous plants.

We went after them. We always went after them so slightly misled that she doesn't notice that we're following her with enough distance. But we always had her in sight, through the plants, we wentled, running after them, so they wouldn't notice that we were following them, with enough distance. But we always had them in sight, through the plants, we snuck through, we poked ourselves in the face. And we both just waited for the moment

that she would let the car go out of the way, so we could quickly get back. I have to say, I didn't follow them. I was very discreet on the road, as discreet as if I were talking to someone in the supermarket about which I know the first name. But I would still sit there and not cross borders.

I was so discreet, nobody followed me. So I followed you somehow. I followed you fully. I looked at you, it was just a fake feeling. I wanted to give this car back. I just didn't want to give it up. Because everyone knows who goes to IKEA, when he arrived at Deko and the plant, then to go back to the beginning,

that's the absolute nightmare. Even if you know the shortcut doors and I know all of them, even then you are long busy with walking back the way. That's why I didn't want to give up the car. I had it 100% in sight. I watched it through the plants and then came the moment, then it went to the vases and left the car. And I went there in such a quick pace and got my car back. And I'll tell you one thing, Chris,

when I drove away with the car, so she wouldn't see it, I had a really bad conscience, because I felt like I had stolen her car. Although it was actually mine, but it was our car. But I felt bad. This plastic part on the car, where you have your hands on it,

it was still greasy and warm from her. And it wasn't your car at that time. It felt wrong. But I have to say, it's a gray area. Neither the car nor the content belongs to us, but it doesn't belong to her either. It's still a property of the Ikea company. The car is floating between the spheres.

Yes, right. And power claims are a mistake. is still a property of the IKEA company. The car is floating between the spheres. Yes, right. And power claims are a mistake. I don't know if she saw us taking the car away, if she noticed it wasn't her car, or if she thinks someone stole her car. Because you have to know, she had another car, but it was still in other departments, because she didn't check it, and then the car was suddenly gone.

Of course, you could say, you could approach the woman and say, excuse me, you took our car. Yes, who are we? No, no, I immediately excluded that. That was burnt to the ground. There was no option, but I really triggered a almost senile, deep, meditative peace in me, where I knew, nothing can go wrong, I'm with myself, I stay with myself, my thoughts are concentrated here,

and the car is out there, he does his thing, I do mine. Yes, that was definitely interesting, but to this day, it's a bit strange to me that I did that to the person. It happened to me that I was on the other side, that I took a basket in the car. Ah, unpleasant. What often happens is cases that are in the supermarket. In small stores in Cologne.

And then you put them away because you can't carry them all the time. So that you are more flexible and quickly through the shelves. I almost said through the streets. Yes. And that has happened to me a lot that I somehow always put a cucumber glass in a stranger's basket. Ah. and I can pull the I don't know whose basket that was. You have to say, the option is out. I stay with me in closure. Meditative peace. It was definitely a happy end and we did it to the cash register.

Advertising. This podcast is financed by advertising. Today we introduce you to Frank again, the uncomplicated mobile phone tariff per app. We have already praised Frank often, and will do that more often, because let's not pretend, Frank is just Driny Heaven. You can run everything via the app, you can register there and be online with the eSIM within 30 minutes.

You can simply pay via PayPal or postcard, you can cancel monthly in the app, you can book data, it's just a so-called dream. The whole thing still costs only 10 euros a month and for that you get 12 GB of data volume and an all-net-flat for telephone and SMS and is the best telecom network with 5G. And if you need more data volume, you can also get 22 GB for 15 euros a month. But it will get even better, until the 30th of June you can for you and your friends with Frank4Friends again can secure 4GB on top of your friends with Frank4Friends. We'll give you the first code for that right away, socialcard4. Make sure to use it, you can read it all on frank.de, Lerch Trinnis or in our show notes.

Advertising, end. And then I have to say, there comes the next point. Of course, we did the self-scan test again. I have to say now, since I earn more money, I don't steal that much from Kea. Not so much? So much? But I see it as a service to civil society. I can also say that right away. Why, Chris? But why are you doing this? Crime doesn't pay. Yes, sorry. Why are you doing this all of a sudden?

It's not a big deal. Crime doesn't pay. I want to pay and then the screen is locked. Big yellow, sample. Wait for a staff. They will be philzed soon. And then I instinctively said, I wasn't, I wasn't. Although I didn't steal anything. And you got down and put your hands over your head. For me that's a no-go.

I don't want to do that. I don't want to disturb the business processes. I'm a gear, a well-serimmed gear in the engine of capitalism. I'll go with it and say, do everything with me, whatever you want. I liked it. I still try to give some time, to put things in order, so that you don't get directly to the code. Because I think that's what we're trying to get out of the other three boxes, the people who are in the other three boxes,

who can then do their business in the meantime. And we can keep them free. I go well and I like to go back to the check-in and let them do their work. You know that. I give all shop detectives really sour, because I always go in there and pay everything. And then I'll be checked by the It was a really bad day. Once again, for nothing. Once again, leaving the cabob. But you say, you shouldn't always buy new stuff.

For example, a new phone comes on the market, iPhone, Samsung, whatever. And then people think, I have to have this, this is the new thing. And the old thing, which is half a year old, disappears in the night table drawer and will not be given further. In the worst case. And I'd like to... Maybe a new rubric, a heart for invaders and thieves. Because if you say,

I'm going to Cologne, to the Schildergasse or the Dome, and I'm a long-finger, I'm stealing one or the other phone, my handbag or something, I have to say, they don't buy new stuff. That's more sustainable if you don't buy new stuff, but steal. That's second-hand. I say, if you steal my phone, I say, cool.

Cool, we did something, because you don't have to buy new stuff. Someone interrupted the consumption cycle. Yes, right. That's definitely vintage. Yes, exactly. That's thrift store, but in my pocket. Stealing is sustainable. Now that I think about it, it's really like that, right?

Stealing is better than re-buying. Now we have to be careful. Oh. So I don't want to call anyone to steal here. No way. I just want to say, if it's time for the Christmas market again at Stern TV, at RTL, and then people are asked what their experiences are with the bin on the Christmas market with Stern TV and RTL, and people ask you about your experiences with the Christmas market, I say I'd love to be the sound engineer for a positive side,

for the positive aspects of the theft in Christmas markets in all of Germany and the German-speaking hemisphere. I think some reporters have now written down your name so that you can soon take advantage of the pocket thief. I've wanted to go into this star TV chair and then kick my legs and say something smart. As a person who has been to star TV, I have to tell you, you don't want to.

You've been to star TV? Yes, that's a long-winded secret. I don't want to give you any more details, but I've been to star TV before. As a guest in the studio. What? In the studio? On stage? Right. And there was... What? Chris, you don't know everything about me.

I have things that are so deeply buried, I have them so heavily suppressed. And I was once a studio guest at Stern TV. With Stefan Halaschka. Stefan Halaschka. Yes, Stern TV with Stefan Halaschka. Stefan Halaschka? Yes, it was during Stefan Halaschka's time. But on what topic? I don't want to go into that further. I'm still afraid that there are still traces of it on the internet.

But I don't think there are. I think. Did you sign it? Of course! So legal abdication and so on? Of course! I was very young. I was very young. So my tip to everyone who is ever asked something on TV, don't do it. Don't do it.

Never use a CD-R microphone, no matter which microphone. People on TikTok who ask what is the best club in Berlin, what is the best restaurant, don't do it. Don't do it. Never do it. Rather stand on the other side and ask people. Exactly. Or steal people's cell phones.

I'm asking you a question. Without stealing people's cell phones. As I said, I'm a fan of second hand, of vintage. That's vintage too. And what I like too are sustainable concepts. And I found something. We were in New York and we were in Park Slope. That's a part of Brooklyn. And it's a bit of a gentrified mommy, daddy, yuppie district, but nice.

Close to the park, I liked it, it's nice and green, nice and quiet. And there's a food cooperation, there's a supermarket, it's not particularly big, actually a small supermarket, Park Slope Food Co-op. And it's an initiative like a community of fellowship, where people organize themselves. You can become a member and then you have to work with them. And that way you can... You can steal well, right? You can steal all the canned tomatoes

right off the bat. Right. That probably too. But one of the big advantages is that they have good food, also organic food and so on, but only with, in quotation marks, 21% price on the big market. And if you buy it in the supermarket, it's 28% to 100% on the big market. Those criminals!

Those up there. And people in the neighborhood can take care of themselves so that they get good food at a decent price. So this is actually a co-operation project, right? Yes, it's a partnership project. And it's one of the biggest market partnership projects in the US. And what I find interesting is, when you're a member, you work once a month,

so every four weeks, for two hours and 45 minutes there. That's my question, are people Perdu or Pessy? In the US, logically, Perdu. Yes! And you work once a month for two hours and 45 minutes, where I... I have so many question marks on my eyes. So many!

But I have even more question marks. Not only that you work once a month for two hours and 45 minutes. So, honestly, let's be honest. We arrive there, jacket off, shoes off, change clothes, wash our hands, put on a sign, smoke, drink something. One hour passed. Then you go out,

the big Mutti cans arrive, the tomato cans, you make a stock, when you're outside, you smoke one, coffee, cookies and the like. You sign something. Right. Then you go in.

Call the boss if it's true with the pallets. We really have 250 pallets, seems to be a lot for our small supermarket. Then you tidy up a bit, draw the article. It's important that it looks good, as if it's all full. Then half is over. Then you go to the cash register, see if all the cash registers still work.

And then I'd say, it's time to go. Exactly, then you take out the cashier, this awesome move, your own cashier, from the cashier system. You take it out and say, bye guys, see you in a month. And then I really feel like, oh, now I'm really in the mood again. Good, until four weeks later I'm back on track. That's so funny. But then I saw, in a documentary that is over ten years old about this shop, which is over 10 years old, and it's really a small supermarket, where a woman explained the concept and said, we have 17,000 members. So with this small supermarket there are 17,000 members.

The lines in this supermarket are absurd. You stand there for hours in the line. And then you had to imagine, I thought, yes, cool, fellowship and so on, composition, social, we are all the same and so on. And then the woman says, we have a annual turnover of 48 million dollars. What? That's a really small fur supermarket. And they have a annual turnover of 10 years ago, that's definitely double the amount in between. My question is, are friendships scalable?

The trick would be to make a friendship and then be the boss of a friendship. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How much? 48 million? 48 million, that was 2011, 12, 13 and so on. Yeah. Really insane. And yeah, that's the USA for me.

Respect, as they used to say on Saturday night on TV. In New York I had the idea to become a doorman. I've seen it. There are many doormen. They were often real men, I must say. People who either work at apartment buildings or at hotels, which I'm personally interested in, and I imagined it like this, you greet the people, sometimes you offer them a shim,

if it could be rainy outside, you say maybe a shim, today it should rain. Or even a rubber. I don't know, that's maybe too much. Yes, maybe. Then it's better to really go through the weather report, I think that brings people more, or sometimes to a big event, attention, today is the marathon, the half city is closed,

don't go there. Yes. You know, also say hello, nice father's day today, heute ist Marathon, da ist die halbe Stadt gesperrt, da nicht hingehen. Ja. Weißt du, auch mal grüßen. Schönen Vatertag heute, schönen ersten Mai, schönen Frühlingsanfang, vielleicht mal einen kleinen Spruch, einen Witz. Und was mir aufgefallen ist, was mir gut gefallen hat, man hat da relativ lange Stehzeit, man ist da draußen, man hat jetzt keine Arbeitskollegin, so unmittelbar, so wie ich es jetzt beobachte. Das gefällt mir. Man ist da bisschen allein auf weiter Flur. Man hat nicht einen engen Kontakt mit den Leuten. Wortwörtlich auf weitem Flur bist du da like I'm watching it now. I like that. You're a little alone on the outer floor. You don't have a close contact with the people.

You're literally on the outer floor by yourself. But what I liked was that when a person from inside came to you from the hotel lobby and they saw it from outside, then the gardener had already pushed this door so that the person who comes out in 20 seconds

doesn't have to push it so hard. That's service. That's what I thought, that would be something for me. Understatement, discreet, malign, I also checked if there are places in Cologne in Germany, I think, what's the name of the hotel in German, Hyatt? Yes. They looked for someone, but unfortunately full time.

I can't do that. I could imagine once a week, maybe on Friday, on the weekend, I could wish people a nice weekend. Welcome to Cologne, nice weekend. But Chris, I think you could even do this full-time. You could, for example, record the podcast with me via headset.

You're a lot of yourself, you're standing around a lot. You could actually use the time, right? I think it would be a trainee job. I imagine it like this, you have loose contact, but it's not something mandatory, where you have to go to the shower with the people. Yes, but if you were a third-year at the hi-hat, Chris, you'd have to expect that you'd have to call Daniela Katzenberger's mother a taxi.

Yes, very much. Those are things I don't know if it's so much fun. Julia, I'm a service officer, I'll do it. That's in my blood. I just want to satisfy the customer. I don't know if that's so much fun. I'm a servant, I do and I do. That's in my blood. I just want to satisfy the customers. I think you'd be a funny förder. I think you'd always be a joke of the day.

People would be happy to see you, because they always wait, what kind of joke did he prepare for me today? I would be you and you with Hugo, Ego and Balda, for example. He would know me. I've always dreamed of working in an archive. I would be so often you and you with Hugo, Ego and Baldr for example. So he would know me. I have always dreamed of working in an archive. For me the most friendly job, at least that's what I imagine.

You can archive things, you have to take care of it. If someone comes, all the celebrations, have the newspaper from 1857, from August 23rd. Then I say, yes, back there in the shelf, 24, I have to look for that. But please don't take pictures with lightning, don't scan, that's back there in the shelf, 24, I have to find that out. But please, no photos with lightning, no scanning, that's not acceptable in the newspaper. I think archival is a profession that is very, very, very unspectacular, in the best sense I would say. But then once per career run incredibly spectacular, namely when this situation arises where ganoves come, that happens more often in films, that documents of some scandal or things that are kept under lock-up

are then copied and then a person comes, acts as someone else and says she got the authority of the police, she needs the documents from 1932. We need the basic plan, the original basic plan of the casino, especially the one of the Tessuora. Exactly! And then the archiving person becomes ultra-primary and has a premonition and tries to understand what kind of person she is, what she wants from me. I get to prison and then it's just a nerve-wreck. I think every person who worked in the archive had a brilliant moment in their professional career.

But only once. The rest of the time it was super boring. I had a friend who died, he had a brain tumor and he always wanted to become a train driver. That was his dream. At a train crossing where you can get there every two hours. And it does exist. But I think these train crossings are mostly not occupied anymore. They're fully automated now, and he became a forest guard.

Yeah, that's something similar. In the forest, outside, with chainsaws. Similar to human contact. Yeah, right, and then he thought about poems in his head as a job and wrote them. And that's how I imagine it as Pferdner, that I might start my rap career, that I write my lines, my rhymes.

MC Pfördner. Yes, for example, and then I'll give out my EP. No, I just thought about it, I'd rather not. I would advise you to do that, Pfördner as a rap alter ego is not so cool. With this Pfördner hat and so, with such a long coat, I don't know. Well, but you know, one thing would be clarified, I would of course seat everyone.

That's completely understandable. Of course. But we still have a section where the urgent questions are clarified, it's called Rinseiter. I have a question here, which is important. It's about greetings, so like with Pfördner's inner profession, but it's about greetings on the phone. And a problem, a very specific situation that I experience again a professional, but I get a lot of calls on the phone. And a problem, a very specific situation that I keep experiencing,

and it was last week when I had to postpone my vaccination appointment. Mmhm. Dismiss. DRIVE DRIVE Trinsider, sharply questioned. Lisa wrote, she's asking a urgent question. She writes, unfortunately unfortunately have to call health care providers,

often at doctors and therapy practices, as well as health and pension insurance, who, for example, do not have an online appointment or simply do not react to their patients' emails. I am constantly experiencing an unpleasant situation that can have exactly two different implications. First, the person at the other end of the line picks up the line, calls out their name, the practice or insurance for which they work and greets me. I call out my name and greet the person as well. Now exactly two things can happen. First, the person at the other end greets again as a sign that she listens to me,

but I am not happy with the new greeting because I didn't expect a new greeting. Or second, I take a short break after my presentation and wait for the person to greet me again at the end. But they don't do it and an unpleasant pause is created. My question to you is how can I deal with such situations or is there a secret sign that indicates whether greetings are being said again or not? Which I simply don't know. Could you help me with that? Thank you for your great podcast. Keep it up, dear greetings. Lisa. That's exactly one of the reasons why I hate to call.

Exactly that. Exactly that. I'm so unsure if I should take this break at the beginning to get people to greet the person. And I'm used to just letting the break go and just talking about it. And I thought I'd make it easier with it, but I always have a shitty feeling. Because I think that's so rude. But I can't do it either. This silence and then nothing comes in the end, and then you suddenly talk to each other. That's really bad, so I always try to say, hello, this is Trude Becker, I'd like this and that,

I have a question. Just go straight into the material to avoid this unpleasant situation. So it's clear that you're already prepared for your speech. Of course. And you have to get rid of that now. Then you have a prompt. Maybe we to get rid of him. You have him on a prompter.

Maybe we can play it again. By you being on Praxis's side. And I'll call you. Praxis, Dr. Schweißbein, here's Dr. Beck am Operat. How can I help you? Hello, Soma here. I'll call you. this is Dr. Becker. How can I help you? Hello, this is Dr. Sommer. I'm calling. Yes, hello? Exactly, and then this happens. That's so uncomfortable.

And then I say hello. And then I have to say again, I'm calling. Yes, yes. The basic problem is that people take the listener away and then not say hello, but first just where are you calling right now? Dr. Becker, Dr.cker's summer hospital, for example. And no hello, and then you expect the patient to introduce herself, say hello, and then the hello comes. So you actually have to immediately lower the sentence on the other side.

Dr. Becker's summer hospital, good day, how can I help you? And then you leave the field of the patient and she can rattle down what she wants. So really, just rattle down, just rattle down, rattle in, rattle in into the conversation, roll over, that's also more efficient, that's more time-saving. The people hanging in Germany, so much is still done on the phone.

Completely untimely. You can do all of that online, but the phones, they are constantly ringing at the reception. They are on the phone. So let's also save our staff time. Quickly, efficiently. Zack, zack, zack. I'm the person. I have the problem. Can you help me with that?

Done. End of story. That's also something I've learned. Germany is not friendly. Germany wants to be efficient, but it's not efficient either. That's what I've learned. Worst of both worlds. So you have to try to work with it. And I think I would do it like you.

Don't let anyone say hello. Spread it out. Like on the autobahn. German is autobahn, spread it out, be efficient, but if you're actually inefficient all the time. You shouldn't stop with polite flosks in everyday life. Hello, who needs a hello? How are you? Nobody needs that. You want to say what is, I always say,

say what is on the phone at the hospital. Yes, the thing is, here you can be unfriendly if you don't know the first name of the people in the supermarket. It doesn't matter, and that's also my point, to get back to the beginning. Here you are not particularly friendly. It doesn't matter if you are interrupted. It doesn't matter if you know people's first names.

It's about simply breaking down the thing. Simply breaking through. So, conclusion, now everything doesn't matter anyway. Lisa, break down the thing. No back-up losses, no break. One sentence, a long, efficient sentence, and the conversation is yours. The same applies when you accidentally break the shopping cart of someone else in the supermarket.

Break through, pay up to the cashier, or steal, I don't care, don't pull over, just break through. When it comes, you were chosen as a sample for a check of your shopping cart, break through. Break through. That's the most important thing. not like a sample, selected for a control of your shopping list. Through the board. Through the board. That's the most important thing. I'm glad that we could give Lisa a solution again. But I have to say, we are here so self-confident in performing and pretend to know how it works.

But every time this hello comes and I'm already at the second handphone, it completely rubs me out. Then I would prefer to put it on and say again,, I need five more minutes, I need to practice. I see myself as a flirt of our audience. I feel like I'm sitting in their room, on a little shelf, and whisper into their ears how they can deal with certain situations.

That's a nice picture. I find it a bit creepy to sit at their place and whisper into their ears. But also nice, right? I don't know. Are there really whistlers? That's a phenomenon. You learn that in school, but I've never seen one. There's technology, there's Bluetooth.

People don't have to sit on the stage anymore and look out of a hole. That's being spread out now in the Koyz Center in Bulgaria. There are people who are that didn't show up on my plate. On the table. Exactly, on the table. So I had to call, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten out of the thing. So I called here in Germany and at the other end of the line

a Swiss woman with a Swiss accent in call center. Oh! And then I thought, what do I do now? Should I switch to Swiss German and show you that I'm one of you? Or maybe it would be more complicated for you in your native language? Honestly, I've had it. In high German. You have to decide. It doesn't help if you're fishing or meat.

After half of the conversation you have to make a quick decision. Like when you blink and you have to make a decision. When are you going to cross? You have to put a clear sign with a blink. And you have to do that in the conversation. Yes, in doubt, on the gas pedal. Yes. That's the credo for me, but also in between. Through-bred.

Through-bred is the motto of this episode. And I would say we've been through the Autobahn of the podcast landscape. And now we're coming to an end. But next week we'll be back on the so-called Stizzl. All right, Jan Delay. So Chris, I wish you a very nice week. And we'll see you next week. Thank you for listening. Thank you for subscribing to the podcast.

Goodbye and see you next week. Bye. Bye. Tschüss!
