A listener production.
Today, in this very special episode, we capture Mark's visit to a strange new land.
If you want to see the visuals of this, go to the Aunty Donna Club powered by Patreon.
For some cool other stuff too. Enjoy. Here we go.
Well, it's me, Mark Samuel-anno, and I have needed a break and holiday from the Auntie
Donna podcast for quite a while because often what happens on this podcast is I have to interview two just crazy off the wall characters who love to shit all on me
and over me and rub that shit into my tummy and into my face and my beard and then take
photos of me covered in shit while I'm sleeping and then post them on very specific subreddits
and then link me to it afterwards once they've
sort of hit the hot, you know, if you go to like top posts of all time, they're all just
on top and you know, just stuff like that that I'm dealing with on an hourly basis.
And I needed a break and what better kind of break is there to take than the land of
sausages and what else?
Other stuff.
Lederhosen?
Or some sort of overall suspender.
Lederhosen?
I don't know.
Well, let's find out. Overall, overall suspender. Lederhosen? I don't know.
Well let's find out.
I've booked a Contiki tour to go somewhere.
Germany.
I'm going to Germany.
I'm on the bus right now.
And now I'm off the bus at the hotel.
I'm checking in. And I used my brother's credit card
and I don't have that on me
and they're not letting me check in
because the name, the ID needs to match the name
on the credit card.
I'm flipping out here because the time zone difference.
My brother's sleeping.
So I'm waiting in the lobby.
Oh, you okay? Do you need some help there, little boy?
Hello.
Oh, hi.
Hi, how are you going?
I'm good.
Nice to meet you.
Who are you?
Hello there, my name, hello.
Hello.
You were saying something about how you don't like to do your podcast?
No, I love to do my podcast.
Why don't you like to do your podcast? You have to do your podcast. It's a part of your life. You know. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. You should place to radio in many ways
Don't you know this has replaced the radio? Do you know this is the short waves a long wave now?
It's all digital. You know yeah digital digital airway
Yeah, you just connect with your Wi-Fi to the local Wi-Fi you listen to your podcast
Yes, no longer the radio waves and so radio waves used to travel all the way across Europe.
You are puny and small and your shoulders are not broad. And so I can tell that you
are from abroad.
This is very good. The way he has described you as from abroad, abroad. This is a mastery
of the English language, not even his first language.
It was efficient and sharp.
This is how he does it. Now me, I am quite quite slim and felt Yeah, so you see he is bigger stronger broader. This is because he is from the he's from the East
I look clean and least he's from the East he comes from a place. There are more serious people
There are more serious people. They're strong. Yes strong strong and and
But we are from essentially to tell you we are from Deutschland
Yes, so I'm from the West I'm more of an artist, you know, I'd like to dance I like to party We are from, essentially to tell you, we are from Deutschland. The land of the Deutsch. Yes.
So I'm from the west, I'm more of an artist, you know.
I like to dance, I like to party.
This is my brother, he's from the east.
Yes.
He's a more serious man.
Serious and broad and tall.
Can I?
Broad and tall, I'm slim and thrilled.
You would see me in some sort of Olympic sport and go, that is Deutschland.
See me?
I'm not about the Olympic sports.
I support it. I always support my brothers in the Olympic sport. Surprisingly you do
quite well in the basketball. But me I'd much prefer to go to a sex party put on
a rubber glove shove it up a person's ass with consent you know. And that is
not beyond me either with his broad shoulders I can say put it right up there.
Do you understand we are both from different sides of Germany this is contemporary so we are contemporary brothers.. Do you understand? We are both from different sides of Germany.
This is contemporary, so we are contemporary brothers.
Contemporary brothers? We are allies in NATO.
Yes, but this is like...
We are in NATO.
This is the ongoing effects of the divide.
So he is a serious man, muscular, about the sports.
I work for BMW.
Whereas I'm a sveilt man.
I'm a sveilt man, I wear like a mesh shirt.
You know, my shirt, you see my nipples.
And this is, you know, I would walk around,
but I don't do the mesh shirt anymore.
Now I look more like a, you know, sort of,
just I chuck it together, some 90s sort of blue jeans.
And I work for BMW,
which stands for Byrish Motor & Verkap.
Please don't tell me you're trying to get into the club.
No, no, no.
What are you going to say now?
Just say it.
Just say it.
Can you help me get into...
Just say it.
Can you help me get into...
And should go...
Can I get into the club?
I'm just trying to check in.
Yes, but then you're going to say to me, I'm just trying to get into...
Just say it. Can you help me get into... Just say to me, I'm just trying to get you to just say it.
Can you help me get you to just say it?
If I say it, will you potentially leave me alone?
Just say it, say it as a good sentence.
Can you help get me into the club?
Which club?
The sex club?
No, not the sex club.
This is private, you need a woman.
What?
You can't go to the sex club as a single man.
You'd have a whole group of single men following every woman.
No, you need a woman to get into the sex club.
But then what do you want me to ask?
The club, you know, the famous club in Berlin.
What's the famous club in Berlin?
You know the famous club.
Everyone comes here.
They're always asking about the famous club in Berlin.
Yeah.
You don't want to show up at the club looking unheimlich.
You understand what you're saying here? Like the... Creepy is what we say. Unheimlich. You understand what he's saying here?
Like the creepy is what we say, unheimlich.
Oh, I thought you meant the caterpillar from Bug's Life.
Heimlich.
Gruselig, gruselig.
He's Googling German words. I don't know why.
This is a German man, he speaks German first.
Absolutely.
Yet he's standing here with his laptop Googling German words.
I Google English words all the time, you know, for spelling and thesaurus and synonyms.
You're still here in English?
Well, I'm from Australia.
What is your name?
My name is Mark.
Oh, Mark. Mark, what kind of sandal would you wear there?
Just a sort of flip-flop sandal, yeah.
Mark, I've got a question for you. You're Australian, yes?
Yes. There's an Australian author who wrote a book, I read it a few years ago, called
The Power of One. Have you read this book?
It's Ice Courtney.
No, please.
It's a very good book, you know, I didn't quite understand it. It wasn't culturally
something that resonated with me.
No, please.
But I liked, it was, I translated it into Deutsch for me.
Well, I'm actually, I'm actually Sicilian.
I'm actually Sicilian.
Oh, you are?
A third generation Australian.
A friend.
A friend.
A friend.
You know, I'm still a certain point.
Yeah.
No, we share a border with, with, well, I, I think of the, when I think of Italians,
I think of the mountainous blondes.
I think of Janik Sinha, who is a representation of both of us.
In that he is Italian, yeah.
Yeah.
But also he has the red hair and the pale skin.
The North and Italians, you know, they look more like us than they do like the Sicilians.
Janik, sing us, he speaks German.
I say this often, I say the Sicilians belong more to the Mediterranean than the Boots.
Mark.
You know the Boots?
Mark. Have know the boot?
Mark.
Have you noticed your country looks like a boot with kicking a little football?
Kicking a football, yes.
Mark.
Mark.
He has a question.
You wear the sandals in Australia.
You wear the sandals more.
We wear...
Yeah, wow.
Sort of flippy.
They fall apart and break beneath your feet here.
They don't fall apart.
Not if they're well made.
I'll tell you why.
Because here we make things stronger and better.
Yeah, yeah, Mark, yeah.
Have you ever bought a Deutsche?
We have a brand called Birkenstock.
Mark, you must forgive my brother. He's very serious. He's from the East. You understand?
We have brands like Birkenstock.
See, he says, right?
Or Birkenstock. He's very serious. And this is the cliché of the German.
But there's actually Germans from the West. Right? Germans who love art.
Do you want something delivered quickly and efficiently?
See, deliver efficient.
Why are you always doing this with the foreigners?
Because they need to know if you want it delivered efficiently you go DHL, Deutsche Post.
You know they watch the Die Hard, Die Hard, they watch Die Hard and they see people like
you doing the Sirius Sirius Sir, doing the serious, serious, serious.
That man, Hans Gruber.
Hans Gruber? He's not even a German man, I think he was going to say.
He pretended to be German. He pretended to be of Deutsch.
In Dichard.
Sorry, I'm talking to my brother here.
In Dichard.
Mark, you have to understand, I'm talking to my brother here.
I'm sorry.
Why are you doing this with my friend? He's my new friend, I'm trying
to invite him to the sex party. I'm trying to learn a few of the Deutsch. He's not a
Dutch, he says he's from Sicily, from Australia and you're talking all serious. He's making
a cliche in his mouth. Have you ever worn a Birkenstock? Have you worn a Birkenstock?
It's very comfortable. Not at first. Not at first. Have you warned him of this?
No, not at first. At first you put it on, that goes a bit French
there. No, no, but this is the thing Mark, you know, when you put on the Birkenstock,
it's not at first comfortable. Why am I walking on the cork? Walk on the cork you say. Walk
on the cork. This is what people say to us, they say, and we tried to introduce it to, you know, the
Netherlands, we tried to introduce it to Europe initially, the American stock, and they say
why would I walk on the cork?
Mark, who's your favourite? Mark, listen.
Can I just do the punchline to walk on the cork?
I tried to do the punchline to walk on the cork.
Excuse me.
What do I say?
I just try to say, you know, well no, but it
gets more, can I do the punchline? Yeah, sure, sure. So I say, why walk on the cork? And
we say, well it gets more comfortable with everywhere. That's the punchline? Ah, yeah,
we have a very different set of human. It's efficient. Efficient. Okay. Wind farms. Now
you may make your point. I'm sorry. Wind farms. When you're looking at a wind farm.
Do you like them? They're so good, yeah. Wind farms?
Yeah. Who's your favorite company to make them? When you know that they're going to
be made for a long time and not fall apart.
Part.
My favorite?
You mean this little wind farm I'm doing for you?
The wind farm. Green energy.
This is a green energy.
What company would you use?
I don't know.
I would do Feisenkrupp.
Oh, okay. This is mine.
He is, he is, what he is doing here is he is looking for the different German companies
and he is telling you all of the works they have done.
Do you know what they all have in common?
Have a guess.
What do you say they have in common, brother?
They are efficient.
Right.
But here's the secret.
Birkenstock, Theisenkrupp.
Do you understand the difference between him and I?
You're from the West.
I'm from the West.
And you like sticking your hand up people's asses at night.
Well, at day sometimes.
Well yeah, I'm sure it tips over into the morning.
I also make documentaries.
Pardon?
I also make documentaries.
About?
Do you know what happened in 1989?
Oh, yeah.
I saw my brother for the first time.
I turned one years old.
Very good to know.
Very good.
That's good to know.
That is true.
This is true.
You're Gubbutzdag.
I know now your age.
You're Gubbutzdag.
Gubbutzdag.
Gubbutzdag.
Your birthday.
Yeah.
So tell me, are you going to refer now to the collapse of the wall?
The falling of the wall.
The fall of communist Russia.
I had never seen my brother before this.
Soviet Union.
You understand?
I had never seen my brother.
Are you twins?
No.
No.
And we were both born after 89.
He in late 89, me in 91.
Right.
So we are the same parents?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you understand here when we say that, you know, we had never seen each other before
the fall of the wall?
Do you see why?
No.
Because neither of us was born.
What do you think of?
When you think of a wall, what do you think of?
When I think of the wall.
When you think of a wall.
Probably holding up roof.
Holding up ceiling.
If made by Deutsche Company, they would stand for many
years. And this is what happened to us. Well, not the Berlin Wall. If you made a wall of
Birkenstock, they would stand. But the Berlin Wall fall. Yeah, but it's the Berlin Wall
fall. The Berlin Wall fall. That was because taken down with German equipment. They tried to do it with other equipment.
They had a couple of chips with it.
They said, this won't work.
No, they said, let us get a German Mercedes.
A tractor made by Mercedes-Benz.
But you understand that even though we have grown up...
No, I think I've explained it.
Mark, I have a question for you.
What are you doing in Germany?
You probably want to get into the club.
I don't know what club you're referring to.
I think you know, which is the Boschermalz.
The Boschermalz?
No, the Boschermalz.
The Boschermalz?
No, the long lines are wearing all black, ready to get in.
Okay.
What you do is you walk down to a sort of rough area full of old plants and seeds and
you head down a ramp into an old factory.
And you go, what is this factory?
It's strange to see a defunct factory in Berlin because you would think, oh, all the other
companies are efficient and running smoothly.
There's smoke billowing from their chimneys making Birkenstocks and theisenkrupp.
But you find a defunct factory in the corner of Berlin.
Most likely on the east, you know, not to make assumptions of the east, but this is where it probably is.
And you're like, this is where the Blitzkrieg happened and this is the history here.
Rich in history.
Rich history, yeah.
And you go down this ramp, you knock on a door.
And you think, what could possibly be on the other side of this door?
There is no sign of life.
But you hear the thumping.
Who?
Not even here.
The earthly thumping.
You feel it in your balls.
You feel the vibration in your balls of a thumping sound.
I think I want that.
The thump is so strong that the vibration in your balls are harder and louder than any
vibration you've ever felt.
Okay.
You don't even hear it yet.
But you look around you say this is a De Funct factory.
This is De Funct.
I got dyslack.
There's no one here in this factory.
Are you working?
Are you working?
Yeah, always working.
What are you doing?
I'm just, I'm literally just waiting.
We are waiting for a conference.
Oh, what?
This is doing a conference.
On?
On how to stick up the hand of this asshole.
That's a whole conference?
Yeah, I mean we take sex club very seriously here in Berlin.
We do this, you know, you'll probably go,
this is my impersonation of Mark when he has the sexual intercourse.
Oh yeah, this is in the core by the way.
Yeah, this is in theor by the way. Yeah. German company. This is in Accor.
Is it cool?
So this is you when you have sex.
Hello monogamous partner.
I put my willy in your vagina.
Probably to procreate.
Maybe to procreate.
This is the impression of me having sex.
Hello all the beautiful people. Everyone here is beautiful no matter.
Excuse me, could I maybe put my fist in your arsehole?
Yeah, sure.
Don't worry, I have a glove.
And then I put the glove on.
But explain to him about the seed and the plants in the...
Sure, this is a different kind of club.
This is the sort of clubs that's
open from 12 p.m. on the Thursday, and it close on maybe... 2032. 2032. You understand?
This is a different... Sex club open, you know, not close. They have to clean up the
comm. Yeah. Spoiler alert. They have to clean up the comms. Yeah. Spoiler alert! So the six clubs have to clean up the comms.
This club never closed.
Spoiler alert!
This is not a defunct factory.
Right.
Well, it is. It was.
Sure.
It was. It was once a factory for, you know, perhaps making metal.
Metal or concrete or...
Perhaps they was making the wheels for the trains.
Yeah.
You know, they sent all the train wheels to...
We are in...
We are in industrial hub.
So this is...
So I just need to make it clear to you.
My brother is talking, yes, of a defunct factory.
And when he says it is not a defunct factory, this is semantics, you know?
It is not a defunct factory in the sense that...
It could have been Rheinmetall.
But it is a defunct factory in the sense that it is a defunct factory in the sense that there is no longer
The original factory work is all fascinating. Do you understand the sort of things they would have made there?
Maybe wheels maybe copper metal copper wheels for a Lufthansa plane perhaps
Lufthansa. Have you seen the gold plating?
No, perhaps they were plating in gold the things.
Yeah, sure.
Perhaps.
Maybe the Porsche.
Gold doesn't rhyme.
The bonnet for a Porsche.
The bonnet for a Porsche.
Right.
Look, this is all fascinating stuff.
Mark, I think you're about to guess what is this club.
What?
I think you're about to guess what is it.
Sorry, I gave it away.
You're about to guess what is happening. Sorry, I gave it away. You're about to guess what is happening in this de-funked factory.
You walk to the door, you see the seed and the plant around it,
it's overgrown.
Yes.
Overgrown with weeds, thickets.
You know, thickets.
Yes.
Looks like it could have been in ruins.
Ruins.
Ruins.
Yes.
But something is different about this factory
for you feel a thumping in your Porsche. You see, the light
emits just ever so slightly through the dusty windows.
Knock on the door.
Knock on the door.
Man opens, he's tall and dressed in broad shoulders.
Just a crick.
He's dressed in Hugo Boss.
You know, you see this is just a crick of an open. He's a well-dressed man, you see
just the sliver of a man. You
see the hugelbock.
He says...
That's what my brother talks of. And you say, this is a well-dressed man, but all I see
is a sliver of a crack.
He looks you up and down.
He looks you up and down.
Yeah.
And you say...
Hello.
And you're out of the club.
What?
You didn't get in.
The Funk Factory will not let you.
Hello. Oh, hello.
No, that is not what you're saying. Let me do this for you. Hello. Oh, hello. No, that is not what you say.
Let me do this for you.
Yeah.
Open the door.
Knock, knock, knock.
Hello, Vigettes.
Hello.
How are you?
Good to see you.
You said hello.
You just said hello.
May I come into the club?
Absolutely.
Thank you.
Do you see unspoken?
Did you say my body?
Unspoken.
The body language.
No. You have taken the something in your balls and you have said the something in my balls Did you say my body? Unspoken. Unspoken, the body language.
No.
You have taken the something in your balls and you have said the something in my balls
makes me uncomfortable.
And he can see this.
He sees you're crouched over.
He sees you're uncomfortable with something.
Well my balls are vibrating.
Let's try again.
Let's try again.
Let's try again.
You are back at the train.
I just want to get in my room and go to sleep forever.
You are back at the train.
You go to your room eventually.
Eventually?
You walk down through the derelict area.
You're like, this is strange.
There's so many sickets everywhere.
Yeah, there's sickets everywhere.
This is an industrial hub.
Why is there a defunct factory?
There are plants and seeds.
Yes.
Plants and seeds, you walk down the ramp to this defunct factory, you find the door, you
knock again.
Yes. He opens the door, just a crack. You see a slaver of mad and you're the boss.
Try again. What do you do? And the door shut.
Because...
I didn't even get to say anything. I didn't even want to get in this club.
You respawn back to the train again.
I respawn?
You respawn in German. So, Mark, you are getting upset and emotional, okay?
And while I am the more artistic of the brothers, I still find this emotion to be a little bit,
you know, how do you say?
Of putting?
I can't see myself putting my hand in your asshole right now.
Right.
Unattractive.
Unattractive.
Yes. So just when you get emotional, just try to express it through maybe not whatever you're doing now. Right. Unattractive. Yes. So just when you get emotional just try to
express it through maybe not whatever you're doing now. I just wanted to have
a nice sausage and a pretzel. Oh we do sausage. And maybe a beer. I'm not
interested. These are things our industry we are export for large amounts of money.
Make sure you have a pretzel or a sausage before you go to this club though because you could be there for
three, seven, eight days. There's no food in there. Pork knuckle? There's no food, there's very little alcohol. Pork knuckle? Sure.
So I'm going to give you an example of what I might do at the door. You already showed me. Knock knock.
Hello. Hello, how are you today? Please, welcome in. Thank you. I have a question for you.
When is this club open until?
And then I go into the club.
Usually we don't express humor, but in that instance...
That was a joke?
Well, he could see that I was from the West.
Right.
You know, he could see that I was maybe a little more laser-faire.
This is what the French would say.
Right.
And he say, you know, I'm going to allow a job.
Also he's my brother.
Right.
You nice understand the man at the door is my brother.
We are the men at the door.
Right.
Right.
You're the men at the door.
So the way to get in-
I am the man at the door.
So the way to get in is that your brother-
No, no, no, no, no, no, Mark.
I think you are thinking too literally.
Okay.
We are the man at the door. Do you understand? He is the man at the door.
I am the man at the door.
I am the man at the door.
Have I died?
No.
Am I dead?
No, what are you talking about? No, you're in Germany, you're in beautiful Berlin.
Okay.
At the Accor. Berlin Accor.
Okay. But do you understand. Okay. Berlin a core.
Okay.
But do you understand if there is a door?
A door.
Metaphorical door.
Who is the man at the door?
My brother.
So it's a...
That's why I respect him.
I respect my brother.
Yeah.
He's the man at the door.
So...
Let's try again.
You are at the train.
Yeah.
You get off the train.
Yes.
You walk to...
You find the food factory.
Okay? Yeah. This looks like the factory from the Google image search.
Since you did like a little pleb site.
Like you looked it up on the Reddit.
Yes.
Oh, and you've worn all your finest black clothes.
Yes.
Even though there is no textural difference between your pants and your shirt.
You think this is enough now.
But it is okay. Knock knock. Guten heim mein Bruder. Willkommen
to the club. Oh my balls. Your balls will explode. They're vibrating. Your balls will explode. Your balls will explode more.
I've never felt my balls like this before!
What do you do now you're in the club?
I don't know, I'm walking around.
Stop walking, move.
I move, I move, I move through the club, I move through the music, I let the vibrations that are happening through my balls.
It is now Sunday.
What?
It is now Monday.
Time to have McDonald's for breakfast.
Oh my god, that was so quick!
I didn't get to do anything in the club.
Mark you're in the club for 72 hours.
What the fuck?
Time stood still for you.
Time work different in club.
Okay.
The only truth is the balls.
It's the vibration of the balls.
Alright. You understand this Mark? Yeah I suppose balls. It's the vibration of the balls.
You understand this more? Yeah, I suppose so.
McDonald's?
Yeah, let's have an American treat.
Let's go to the oldest McDonald's in all of Berlin.
Of course on the West Side.
Is that a joke?
Or just a fact?
Well, during the Soviet occupation of East Berlin and the East of Deutschland, there was
no Americanism in the right-hand side of Germany.
While the West thrived, with the late mid-century capitalism, the East was forced to give all
of its labor, all of its needs, all of its train parts to Mother Russia, sent away
and starved. You see the difference, this is the difference between my brother and I.
I am bored and I think I zoned out for a bit.
You must understand, the people that raised me, grew up with McDonald's, grew up with
all of the benefits of late mid
century capitalism.
See through shirts, I've never seen one.
My brother here, he was raised by the cold people that worked only to feed Mother Russia
while they starved.
Right.
See?
See?
I can be funny like you.
Oh, okay.
This is a funny conversation, yeah?
Well yeah, to some degree.
Maybe not the degree that you realize.
This is my brother.
You know, my brother, he was raised by a cold, cold woman.
A woman who worked in a factory floor and never saw the benefits of her labor because
all of those things were sent to Mother Russia.
Not once visited the Brandenburg tour.
What's that?
We never got to see the Brandenburg tour. What's that? We never got to see the Brandenburg tour.
What's that?
See, we are finally like you, Ma.
I don't understand where the jokes are.
The joke is that life could be so cruel to my brother and so kind to me.
Right.
You know, this is a joke.
There's a bar in Melbourne called Berlin Bar where you'll get ushered into either the East side or the West side and in the East
side you have to sit on milk crates and drink off of bathtubs, upside down bathtubs. But
on the West side it's nicer and there's a chandelier.
You understand that if I was English or perhaps American I would be offended by this. But
because I am German I think nothing of it.
I think why would you do this?
I hear you say such nice things.
What is the factor is that I could begin that is efficient and...
Last time I was in Germany I watched Star Trek into the darkness.
Last time I was in Germany I was a boy.
You're in Germany now?
Yeah.
Why?
I'm a boy, truly.
What do you mean?
This is a performance after piece.
I'm working on, you know?
You're a boy?
Am I not a boy?
Are we not all boys?
Well, no, I mean, I don't know.
I don't know how to answer that.
You should come to my concert tomorrow,
where I'll be exploring such scenes.
Okay.
Give him a flyer.
Oh, here, have a flyer.
I printed it with, you know, like a photocopy.
Yeah.
Very efficient.
Efficient but also charmingly retro.
Did you know?
This is my browser by the way.
What are your names?
Yeah, we haven't worked it out yet.
Go.
Oh.
Puma is from here.
Puma, you know, the Puma?
Puma?
Puma.
You go Adidas and all those, we have Puma. We have adidas. Adidas is German, is it not?
Yeah. Do you know Fanta drink? Yeah. I know Fanta drink. While you are here, you have to try a Fanta.
We have Fanta. You must have a Fanta drink. We have the beautiful Fanta drink. It's more tart than your version. At some period we rejected some other drinks and now we have Fanta.
Okay now we have the Fanta drink. Mark we are going to McDonald's now. How are
you Bolz? Did we go to the club? Yeah. This has been a wild, wild first day in Germany for me. Yeah, you went to the club.
That's fucking crazy.
Here we are at McDonald's.
Oh my god.
I'll have a...
Maybe let the Germans order first.
It's a little bit different here.
You order first, brother.
I will have a hamburger.
I will have perhaps a filet of fish.
Okay.
And of course a Fanta drink.
Right.
You understand the Fanta drink. Right. You understand
the Fanta drink? Yes. I will have a Fanta also. Yeah. Do they have the McRib? No, this
is a limited time only. So how's that they are doing? Is it a Grimace shake? You could
get the Grimace shake perhaps. I know that all that dairy will make me, will not make
me not sit right in my tummy. Just get a cheeseburger or something Mark, we don't have all the time in the world.
Can I get a, like a, I mean if it's breakfast time I'll have a, I'll have a mighty muffin.
You know I've never noticed his beard before.
What do you mean?
What do you mean you never noticed?
You have a strong beard, you look almost um, Sicilian with this beard.
I am Sicilian.
I thought you were Australian.
Well I'm first generation.
Oh. Your move, your parents moved to Australia, why?
Because of work.
Work.
There was no work.
Why was there no work in your...
Oh, doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter, forget about that.
We don't talk about that.
Okay.
So Mark, you want to get a burger?
Yeah, I'll just get what you guys have.
Look, I've got to be honest.
I went on this vacation to get away from two heightened characters just talking over the
top of me.
Alright, so this is because we are quite similar to your South African brothers.
How do you know?
They had told us all about it at the club.
I have no recollection of this club.
You said there were two South African brothers always talking about power of one,
always talking about how hard it is.
Well Mark, here's a big reveal.
We are not South African brothers.
Oh.
We are the men at the door.
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
And you, you two are the men at the door.
I am?
You two can be the men at the door. I am?
You two can be the man at the door if you embrace the srobing, the srobing vibrations
in your balls.
Because Mark you never left the club.
I'm still in the club?
You've been here five minutes.
Oh man.
You have just stepped into the club.
I shouldn't have had all that um, uh, I should have drunk all that Fanta and eaten all that
sausage.
I think maybe it's gotten to my brain.
Also Zeketamine.
Well yeah, I did a lot of Ket.
Also Zeketamine's a twig.
That's it.
Now you are mine broder.
Hey guys, Broden here.
Just want to apologize for my accent in this podcast.
I should have put some thought into it.
It's unacceptable.
Anything else from you guys?
Hey, Zach here.
I did slip into French from time to time.
I want you to know that that was because in my mind, my German guy occasionally goes to
France.
He did summer in France and picked up some of
those idioms. Also I was going for a southern German accent, different to
that's and so was Broden. Hey guys it's Broden here again. Just want to apologize for
the periods where I just started doing South African. No excuse, it's fucked up
and look I'll endeavor to do better. But back to the brothers.
Mark!
Oh man!
Hello Mark!
Hello!
We are the men at the door.
We're the men at the door.
Okay.
We're the men at the door.
We're the men at the door.
I'm just going to go check into the hotel now. At the door The bup bup bup bup bup bup Where are the men?
I'm just gonna go check into the hotel now
Mark, the hotel has been closed for seven years
Why the hell have I been in Germany?
You have been in this club for 14 or 16 years Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo We are the men at the door.
The men at the door ruined my life!
I just came on a kentiki tour to get away from the South African Sam's!
The men are starting a family in Germany!
At the door.
But Mark, here's the secret.
If you step out of the club right now,
it will only have been like a second has passed.
This is the magic of the club.
But if you leave it another two minutes, then all of the time we'll have elapsed.
Where's the exit? Where's the exit?
Where's the exit?
Mark, it's a door is the exit.
You need to talk to the man at the door. We are the men at the door is the exit. You need to talk to the man at the door.
We are the men at the door.
And we will be back for part two of Mark's epic German holiday.
Really? Okay.
Let's find out if he gets out of the club and spends eternity in Berlin.
Or if he's just been there a minute and he gets to that hotel,
figures out that little concierge
mix-up that he's had with his brother's credit card.
So you're saying these characters haven't had an episode in two?
Well, we've said it, we've promised it to our audience.
Okay.
And so now we must.
I think your accent is pretty good, Broden.
It does.
Give us a couple months.
Don't you shun.
Give us a couple months before we get to it. We are the men at the door
Bop bop bop bop
We are the men
Bop bop bop bop
The men at the door
Bop bop bop bop
Bop bop bop bop
Men at the door
We're done here, we're done
