Starting point is 00:00:00 Drenys, the podcast from the comfort zone. Hello and welcome to a new episode of Drenys. We hope you're doing well and if not, it's okay too. Hello Chris, servus, grüezi. Hello Julia, I'm calling you through the Internet, through the Swiss fiberglass network and the old copper network in Germany, because I'm in Switzerland. And of course everything is top modern here,
Starting point is 00:00:35 but on the other side it's all over. I have to say that directly. We're on the road again remotely. You're in Switzerland, I'm in Germany. But the network Europa works. We have a connection built, it took a long time, but we did it. And now I'm glad that we can go to the closure once a week. And may I go straight in with the in the week?
Starting point is 00:00:58 Please yes. And my in the week is, as you know, I'm private, often here in the hospital, because I accompany someone here. And I'm so here in the hospital because I'm accompanying someone. And I'm so often at the hospital. I've already observed myself that I greet people like a truck driver in the area because I feel like I'm there already. I go in and out like that. You know me, but of course you don't know me that way.
Starting point is 00:01:19 And my in the week is friendly hospital employees, but they greet back when I greet. And that's almost everyone. That's a nice thing because I'm not a person-enemy. But especially when it comes to hospital stuff, you know that nobody is voluntary. That's always an exception, because in some cases you're there more often.
Starting point is 00:01:40 But a friendly greeting, an up-and-coming, seductive greeting, has a calming effect, I have to say. A calming, normalizing effect on me. And I'd like to greet that. A friendly greeting can really move a lot. I have to say that too. I had that when I was in the hospital two weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:02:02 That would have made a huge difference if one or the other person had been friendly to me. It could have made a completely different experience, theoretically. Exactly, and we always have to explain what bothers us about small talk. And then I always have to explain that small talk is basically not the problem, but is really applied. If you walk through the village like me now, day by day, and you have to greet everyone here,
Starting point is 00:02:25 that's not necessarily what I want. But in such an exceptional situation, where you also see people who walk in with their bags and out with their bags because they change clothes from their relatives, if that's such a tense situation, then I would like to greet that. What do you mean in the week? I think so too, I give you the right, and I am also a village child, I grew up in a village between Kumist and Löschweier.
Starting point is 00:02:48 And I have to say, what I liked was, there was an unwritten law that there was a big farm. The farmers passed me regularly with tractors. And they don't... They pass by the whole village. They're busy driving from A to B all day long. And they village during the day. They are busy all day in the village, driving from A to B. And they see all the people. They can't say hello to everyone either. Completely understandable.
Starting point is 00:03:10 What they do is great for the farmers. And I think it has crossed the border, everywhere, in every country, in the EU and also abroad, that farmers just move their chin very lightly. So it's not even nicking anymore, it's just a very light, with minimal effort, but still a friendly hello. And I have to say, I like that. Exactly, and it's not this cult bus driver-in-arms,
Starting point is 00:03:39 who went viral, who is being culted, but it's a different statement. I still feel a certain rejection somewhere, when farmers greet me like that. But I like that. That's what I like. That's where self-haters are mirrored from me. I always say, don't let them look in the cards, what they think of you.
Starting point is 00:03:57 The light nodding with the chin can mean everything. Farmers are mysterious contemporaries. Exactly. That can mean, I'm the well-natured, but it can alsoossen. Genau, das kann bedeuten, ich bin dir wohlgesonnen, das kann aber auch bedeuten, Achtung, hier die Landwirtschaftszone, die Zone, ich bald um, und dann wird hier alles überbaut. Achtung, ich lade bald 800 Kubik Pferdemist vor deine Haustür ab. Richtig, ja. Und ich muss sagen, ich habe auch noch ein zweites in der Woche, wenn ich darf. Wenn ich so, wenn ich darf.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Was hast du denn hier für ein Hochgefühl gerade? Ja, ich habe die Woche, die Giovanni Piero Lucchita Palestrina Essentials gehört. If I may. What kind of high-feeling do you have? I've heard the week of Giovanni Pierlucci da Palestrina Essentials. Health. And they say that when you start a podcast, I've read it a lot for beginners, you have to look for a niche. My goal is to bring this podcast into a niche
Starting point is 00:04:40 until no one understands what we're talking about. Not us either. That's why I thought to myself, maybe we're the only podcast in the German-speaking world that makes comedy for fans of Franco-Flemish vocal polyphony. At least one of the But I didn't want to say that. Because I wanted to say, in the Renaissance, in the Concil of Trient, that's a meeting, a gathering of the pope and his college. Now it's getting niche, from his college.
Starting point is 00:05:11 I thought I had built enough trumpets so I could shoot this. And there they asked if you could use the music, this vocal polyphony, a multi-voiced vocal music, because it's basically devilish stuff. You don't understand the lyrics anymore, the person is in the foreground, that's a problem, then they wanted to ban it.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Too worldly. No, not necessarily, but too diffuse and not the thing that's useful. And among other things, the music of Palestrina should have been banned there. And he thought, wait a minute, and that's what the legend says, they can't just do that.
Starting point is 00:05:44 I'm writing a choir and that's what the legend says, they can't just do that. I'm writing a chorus that's so beautiful that when they hear it, they cry and can't help it. And he actually did that, and it wasn't forbidden. But what they cried about, was it so beautiful or so horrible? Because it was so beautiful. Robert Geyes sees his Indigo star, how she's being watered. That's the feeling. That's the feeling. Believe. Believe as music.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Exactly. And that's what I mean in the week. That's beautiful. That's a wonderful, wonderful story. Yes, so the pope then said, no, no, we can't do that. So as the boss, the big brother, I learned the whole week,
Starting point is 00:06:21 big brother is the name in Italy, the show is called Grande Fratello. So Grande Fratello said, no, we can't do this, the music is too beautiful. Oh, that's nice. Ochmar brought something nice for the heart. Right. And I read something else this week, and that was the headline,
Starting point is 00:06:36 Heiner Lauterbach has a problem. And if I hadn't clicked on it, and now guess what his problem is. His back health. Almost. He can't talk about Karl the Great and Konrad Adenauer anymore. That's his problem. Not anymore?
Starting point is 00:06:50 Yes. He can't talk to his children about it anymore. Not anymore in the sense of the children of today are spoiled and have no idea anymore. Oh, that's a completely new argument. You've never heard from any generation that the children are getting dumber. I'm wondering, I'm getting so many questions.
Starting point is 00:07:08 First of all, Heiner Lauterbach wants to talk about Karl den Großen with his children? What kind of a father-child relationship is that? Maybe Heiner and I can make a podcast, and we can talk about Karl den Großen and Giovanni Pierlucci da Palestrina. A nice niche podcast. By the way, there are always people who say that you have to use a niche, Lucida Palestrina reden. Einen schönen Nischenpodcast. Übrigens sagen immer nur Leute, dass man eine Nische bedienen muss, die selber nicht wahrhaben wollen, dass sie einen erfolgreichen Podcast haben, weil sie Glück hatten.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Ja, genau. Mein Tipp an Anfängerinnen wäre nämlich, werdet einfach prominent. Werdet prominent und startet dann ein Podcast. Weil sie entweder prominent sind oder halt früh genug ein Podcast gemacht haben, als der Zeitgeist noch so, als es gerade so angefangen hat und man dann noch mehr Aufmerksamkeit erregen konnte, When the zeitgeist was just starting out and you could get even more attention because not 40,000 new podcasts every day
Starting point is 00:07:49 just popped out of nowhere. But that's a different topic. Back to Heiner Lauterbach. So he wants to talk about Karl the Great and Konrad Adenauer with his children. Yes, he would like to, but he can't. That's his problem. And I think, is life a wishful thinking? I can't just go somewhere and say,
Starting point is 00:08:05 I want to talk about the latest Lego sets with Heiner Lauterbach, but he can't because he has no idea. I know, Heiner Lauterbach has already said that you can't talk to everyone about everything, that people have different areas of interest. So I can't really tell you so much about Karl the Great, but if you ask me about the Brown family of Mormons from Las Vegas, Nevada and Flagstaff, Arizona,
Starting point is 00:08:30 I can tell you all the names of the children. 18 in number, I'm proud of that. Heiner Lauterbach is also looking into that. I can't talk about that. I think Karl the Great has about the same number of children as the guy from the Mormons. I'll put it this way, Chris. As a conclusion to this message, I think Heiner Lauterbach doesn't have just one problem. And I'll just leave it at that.
Starting point is 00:08:56 But Chris, honestly, problems, problems, problems. That's enough. It's time for a nice message from me. I have something nice with me too. Not only you have something for the heart. I officially announce that part two of my reading journey starts in May. And now there are tickets. I have announced the happy message. You can buy all tickets. We are now coming to real, real metropolises.
Starting point is 00:09:23 I will read it out now. if you live there or nearby, in the radius of, I'd say, at least 50 kilometers, then come by, because this will be the last reading trip in my current book. And it's going to be really torn down. I'm going to say it so frank and free. The cities I'm coming to in May are Erlangen, Dresden, Wiesbaden, Duisburg and Hannover. If you live nearby, come by, buy tickets.
Starting point is 00:09:46 We'll link it in the show notes, otherwise just google my name reader, find it, do it, you'll get it. I have nothing to do with it, but at Hannover I became a fan. I get there, Nils Burgelberg is there, he's the moderator. Right, he's the moderator. And it's going to be funny, and we also have a duet we're going to sing. I don't know if it's a sales argument or not, but it will be funny.
Starting point is 00:10:07 And we will not talk about Karl the Great. That's a promise from my side. And you don't have to read the book. You can also say I've never read anything in my life, especially not from Konrad Adenauer or Julia Becker. And you can still go there and you will understand everything that is discussed there, hopefully. I'm also something like Konrad Adenauer of humor. You have to say that.
Starting point is 00:10:28 I'm open. Everyone is welcome to me. I'm looking forward to it. Buy a ticket. We'll see each other in May. So, let's go on. Is it also your goal that every second bus bridge and every third airport is named after you? Oh, that would be so nice if I had an airport.
Starting point is 00:10:40 I don't even need a whole airport. I would be satisfied with one gate. Not even a terminal, but a gate. For example in Cologne, if you walk through this construction site, behind C42, behind this roundabout, in the back corner, where it's way too tight,
Starting point is 00:10:56 and there's only one snack machine for 8 gates, and that's always way too hot. And of course you can't open a window anywhere, because it's an airport. And in the middle of this narrow roundabout is the business terminal, which I've never seen from inside, where people have a good life. But you sit outside, you don't have enough seats,
Starting point is 00:11:13 and you sit on the floor next to a full-filling garbage can and eat an 8-euro-major from a select-car. My heart belongs to the air-driving industry, because it's not easy. It's getting less and less. They have less and less revenue. My heart belongs to the air-flying industry, because it's not easy. They have less and less revenue. I think we could start with branded gates. So what you say, gate C62 powered by Julia Becker.
Starting point is 00:11:34 And next to it, gate C61 powered by Seitenbacher. Right. But you'd also have a right to speak. I could choose which furniture to buy. And And all of that would be these inflatable chairs. Not these functional rows, but simply inflatable chairs. And next to that, every chair would have these inflatable cell phones. Where you can put your cell phone in. That would be an addition. That would be cheap, but it makes a difference.
Starting point is 00:12:01 We had the idea of taking a small folding chair with us for the train, ICA, when everything is overfilled. Why don't you make a inflatable sofa with it in your handbag and just blow it up when you're just flying from Munich to Frankfurt? That's also time-consuming, it comes along, then you can make yourself comfortable in the middle of the train. Honestly, I see that more and more often in some Reels, that people start blowing up little beds
Starting point is 00:12:25 for their babies and children in the plane that are not allowed to fly, because they pose a danger when an emergency occurs. And I wonder, where do you draw the line? So, little mattresses are allowed to be up to a certain size, but then I can blow something up too, right? Yes, I think so too.
Starting point is 00:12:48 And I think especially in times when it's just getting difficult for the whole aviation industry, Ryanair can maybe say that we also have blowable furniture allowed in the plane. You can blow up your green sofa with us. We are a blow-up-friendly airline. Ryanair is a very cooperative Ryanair is definitely very cooperative. But Chris, honestly, not only Ryanair, not only the air traffic industry needs our help,
Starting point is 00:13:11 I need your help now. I experienced something yesterday that wasn't so nice. I still get a little bit of relief from it. I just wanted to go to the cinema yesterday, without any preparation, with my girlfriend. We wanted to watch The Brutalist gucken in Köln im Kino. Und ich war noch nie in diesem Kino. Es ist ein kleines Kino.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Irgendwie läuft der Film nirgendswo, alles klar. So, ich bin eine Online-Ticketkäuferin. Gebe ich zu, so ist es. Ich kaufe die Tickets online. Ich bin gern vorbereitet. Ich zeig mein QR-Code, zack, rein. Ich störe nicht betrieblichen Abläufe. In meinem Kopf ist es so, dass das alle Menschen tun.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Jetzt habe ich aber gelernt, dass das überhaupt nicht so ist. Und ich head, it's like that everyone does it. But now I've learned that it's not like that at all. And I had to learn that on the whole hardtack. And it was like this, I chose our seats online, I bought the tickets for both of us, I see the plan of the hall and I see one day before the show that only one seat was reserved in the whole hall. And then I thought, jackpot.
Starting point is 00:14:05 We're basically alone in the cinema, and there were double seats in this cinema. I don't know, we always said there were cuddly seats. Without a chair in the middle. Two seats, you can get closer, let's say. And I saw that there are several sofas in this cinema. So I thought, okay, there's only one place reserved, the cinema will be empty,
Starting point is 00:14:26 so I'll reserve a single seat on a sofa for myself and a single seat for my girlfriend next to it. Because there's nothing going on, so no one will sit next to us. And so each of us has our own sofa. So far so good, my brilliant idea, is brilliant, you have to admit. You just wanted a sofa for yourself. That's the only reason why you're now
Starting point is 00:14:48 putting a two-bed sofa alone and your girlfriend too. I get that right. I wanted to put my popcorn somewhere. And you have to say, The Brutalist is a movie that goes for four hours. And that's what I thought, that's what I had in mind. I just need more legroom. Now it happened like that. The worst case has occurred. I come there and see in front of the hall, I just need more legroom. Now it happened like that.
Starting point is 00:15:05 The worst case has occurred. I come there and see in front of the hall, there was no entrance, it was full of people. The whole floor was full of people. I thought, in which movie do they want The Brutalists? I couldn't believe it. The cinema was full. Let's say 80% of the hall was booked.
Starting point is 00:15:21 I sit on my sofa and my friends sit on the sofa next to me. We are happy. The people come in, sit on my sofa and my friends sit on the sofa next to me and we're happy. The people come in, sit on their seats and we're scared and hope that no one will sit on our seats. It took about a minute. There comes a real Stefan, let's say 50, 60 years old, architect probably, that's why I wanted to watch The Brutalist with his round glasses, a steppe jacket and sits right next to me on the couch. Architect, but only makes car parks.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Yes, makes car parks and Motel One. Yes, exactly, that's who he was. And I couldn't believe it because the irony of the story is I was sitting two seats away from the hallway and on the other side of the hallway there was a row, a complete row, all the way to the front, only with individual seats. And it was completely empty. That means Stefan, who was sitting next to me,
Starting point is 00:16:15 sat on the hallway, sat practically one place away from him, and still decided to come to the pillowcase next to me. And that gave me such a shock, I didn't know what to do anymore. I looked at my girlfriend and then I said, okay, slide over, I'll come to you on the couch. I slipped over to her, the light went out, the movie started, suddenly a woman comes, probably 50, 60 years old, architect,
Starting point is 00:16:39 looks at the place I'm sitting on and says... But the architect only does deep garages. Yes. on the place where I sit. But the architect only makes deep garages. Yes! And Smith's Toys in the industrial area. One makes parking lots and the other deep garages. And says, excuse me, this is my place. I with high-red beard, with my popcorn, go back to Stefan and say, excuse me, I have to go back. He has to take his jacket away again
Starting point is 00:17:05 because he had already put it away. Ultra unpleasant. So I sit in a corner next to Stefan, who has his hip on my hip. He has no fear of touching, it's not uncomfortable for him at all. It's extremely uncomfortable for me, it's extremely uncomfortable for my girlfriend
Starting point is 00:17:21 to sit next to the architect, who also makes herself ultra broad. Also no near-distance problem, it's so unbecoming to sit next to the architect, who also makes herself ultra broad, no close-up distance problem, who, as I later learned, is constantly sliding towards her, my girlfriend constantly to me, and the woman always sliding behind. Was that so disgusting? Or what was going on?
Starting point is 00:17:37 That wasn't disgusting. She just wanted to make herself broad. And it made me so sorry, because I caused all this mess trouble by buying these tickets. My girlfriend was so upset. And I have to say, I have to thank the director of the film, who had so much money to make it clear that this film was 4 hours long. Because that gave us the opportunity to implement ourselves.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Because there was a break after about one and a half hours. We had to only, what do you mean only? You can really speak of I didn't touch my popcorn, I didn't touch my drink, I didn't have a place for it. I sat with Stefan on the couch, my girlfriend with the architect. We had our jackets on the floor, we couldn't move. I just watched this break. You don't know how much I was happy when the break finally started.
Starting point is 00:18:27 And what did we do? We took our stuff and left. We never looked back. We were in the front row, second row, neck-stabbing. No wonder there was no one in the second row. It was so close to the screen, you had to sit down and look up. But it was all better than sitting in a cusher with a stranger. Now I really wonder, from Rinni's perspective, what kind of people book a seat in full consciousness on a two-seat with a stranger.
Starting point is 00:18:57 I have to say, you'll know for yourself, but you're just guilty yourself. I know, but that wasn't the question. We have to look for the guilty one. And you are the guilty one. I had the best intentions, Chris. And I just want to say to my defense, I would never have done that
Starting point is 00:19:12 if I had guessed that there would be many people in this film. Because when I booked it, there was only one place to sit and I thought it would stay that way. I didn't expect that people would just go to the cinema and watch Spongebob where they were sitting.
Starting point is 00:19:29 And you know what they missed? The inflatable, pure air sofa. Yes, it really is! And I have to say, I was already overloaded. I knew a four-hour movie wouldn't be enough for me, so I had to buy some snacks. And I was in Rewe, on the Eilgestein in Cologne. Legendary business, and I say that won't be enough, so I had to buy some snacks. I was in the Rewe before, at the Eilgestein in Cologne. Legendary business, and I say that consciously, because there's a docu-reality soap on RTL2 that I sometimes watch,
Starting point is 00:19:52 which plays in this two-story Rewe at the Eilgestein. I've seen that too. That's the Rewe that makes it a cult, that copies the penny market in Hamburg on St. Pauli. Yes, yes. It's a super correct story. The people in the evening are nice. You can't say anything. You can't say anything. There's always a lot going on.
Starting point is 00:20:09 And it was in the evening, it was just after work, it was super full. I was so nervous anyway, I didn't have much time until this film started. Running through the country. And what happens, Chris? Of course they shot everywhere at that moment for this docu-soap. But I had to go to the M&M's. I had to go there. And left and right of the M&M's shelf were one camera team each.
Starting point is 00:20:31 They were even shooting with two teams there, shot with two teams in parallel. And I'm saying this, I went through both cameras in the back. So I'm now watching the next episodes with high expectations and wait until I recognize myself again, how I buy a pack of sour dragon tongue and M&M's. Did I hear that you bought snacks before and secretly smuggled them in?
Starting point is 00:20:52 Not only a sofa with one person, but also smuggled the snacks in. I also bought snacks. I bought a big popcorn and a big coke, but I knew that wasn't enough because the movie was 4 hours long. And I think that from a length of 3 hours, you can bring your own snacks. For me, that should be an unwritten law.
Starting point is 00:21:13 But not only the aviation industry is bad, but also the cinema industry. Please think about it, not all movies... I think Brutalist didn't play in Berges-Klackbach, he didn't get any NRW media funding, I think. Please think about it. The film industry is not easy. Not all films are sponsored by NRW. Chris, I sat on the sofa with Jürgen, the architect of the parkhouse,
Starting point is 00:21:35 to watch this film. If someone supports the film landscape, then it's me. I like that you have such an appearance at this documentary. I have to say, for me the cynicism is probably already overrun, when it comes to my prominence and my artistic work. Similar to Pierluigi, the Palestrina, I'm fine with that too. So probably already on the way down again. Because I couldn't believe it this week.
Starting point is 00:22:00 I looked into my Instagram DMs, which is why I never looked into the requests. And suddenly there was a request from someone with blue hair, and I read, cameo! I was like, what is this? This platform? I went up, that was the real cameo account of this platform, where you can buy videos from prominent people, in quotation marks,
Starting point is 00:22:21 who then speak a personalized greeting, which you can demand. I once bought you one. I gave it to you as a gift from Sean Paul. Yes, exactly. Exactly. From the singer Sean Paul. Not from...
Starting point is 00:22:34 Not from Jean Paul Gaultier. He could be on it too. Because Cameo asked me if I wanted to participate. They wrote to me, do you want to participate? I didn't answer that. Because I thought they weren't serious.
Starting point is 00:22:45 And then they wrote a few days later, an interest, and I was busy with the material. And then I went on it and looked at who was doing it exactly. And then I realized that I didn't know 99% of the people who make videos on it, who are supposedly prominent. And I really want to say, I know a lot of prominent people, not personally, but as a gala and a colorful subscriber. I know myself best there.
Starting point is 00:23:09 So, whoever was on it, for example, the father of Ben Machera, or, for example, the actress, who played Chan from The Office, and one more from Shark Tank, from that American cave of lions, so. Oh, always just to roll next to them. Right.
Starting point is 00:23:25 So my conclusion is, when I see that the exhibit, the rapper who used to be at Pimp My Ride, is on it, Exca, give it to ya. Exactly. And makes videos for, I don't know, which cost 200-300 dollars per video,
Starting point is 00:23:38 but you can also get cheaper, you film them depending on the prominence. Then I have to say, these are people, and that sounds negative at first, these are people who took their zenith over, who were already at their peak in artistic creation, and now are on the verge of declining. So, and I was also asked, and this doesn't sound nice at first,
Starting point is 00:23:57 that I'm being treated like that, but that means in the end that I must have reached a zenith. It's already over, but I have reached a peak. An artistic, creative peak. You just didn't notice it, Chris. Yes. You were already at the top. I was already at the top and now I'm going down, but I enjoy it.
Starting point is 00:24:15 This will be a long-term descent that will now end in agony. Do you do it or don't you do it? No, I don't do it. Why not? You have to talk too much, you have to be in a good mood, I have to save my energy for the hospital staff. If I greet everyone with a truck driver greeting, I can't greet strangers on the internet yet. By God, no.
Starting point is 00:24:34 I'm sorry. I was recently on it and when I was on it the last time, a year or two ago, there were at least people like Snoop Dogg or something. But he's kind of like that's also on stand-by mode. You can't book him because he doesn't have time. He has to support Trump, etc. But what I've seen, for example, what interests me, and you could give me the keyword birthday present,
Starting point is 00:24:57 I've seen that all the protagonists, except for one from the Mormonshow I'm watching at Cameo, so both the husband and the three divorced wives there. And I think that's really great. But there are so many of them, they could open their own platform, right? Mormons, Cameo. But I think it's really crazy that they didn't ask you, because it's a US company, right? Yes, so I've been up there, not anymore.
Starting point is 00:25:26 I don't know where Cameo stands as a platform, but I don't think I'm all the way up there either. No, I don't think so either. I think the best, the most prominent person they have is Caitlyn Jenner. And that costs about 2,500 euros or so. Is that really that expensive? Yes, but that's the most expensive and most famous person. I don't know if it's 2,500 or 5 maybe 2500 or 5000 or 1000, but something like that.
Starting point is 00:25:48 And I think that's the maximum level of popularity that exists. I think I wouldn't earn 5 euros per video. That's the question. I would answer that out of interest, because I'd like to know if they say that, if they estimate you, how much you're worth, or if you can say yourself, I'd like to spend so much on a dollar, and then we'll see how it goes. That's why I'd ask you to answer,
Starting point is 00:26:15 because I'm just interested. Maybe I'd even buy a video of you. They probably really rate one, but I'd argue, my zenith can't be back that long, because I'm not that old. I haven't been working here for that long, that it could be 20 years ago. You also have a blooming future ahead of you. You can put a lot of things on the table, for example...
Starting point is 00:26:35 Some say that, others say that. ...for example the patent for the coca-cola shawl. It's pending, I'd say. Exactly. There's something coming at you. You're actually a lucrative case for them. Yes, but now I actually have an introvert tip. That's actually for you and for me,
Starting point is 00:26:52 because you're now coming out with this reality series where you're walking around in the background with Rewe. It's about not having to talk to other people, which I can't allow as a cameo act. But I have to see how I can do that. But if you're open for it, I'd like to give you an introvert tip. I'm open. Tears. Introvert tip.
Starting point is 00:27:15 Lulu wrote it and Lulu knows the singing in the field. And she sent us a tip. I should have thought of earlier, as Giovanni Pialucci da Palestrina Ultra and also as a fan of you, Giulia, because of course singers and also people who just work professionally with their voices, actors, Heiner Lauterbach, maybe his children can't talk to him because the people who work professionally with their voices, they sometimes do vocal rest from time to time.
Starting point is 00:27:45 They have to take a break and that's what the professional people call vocal rest to let the voice rest. Like athletes who do regeneration or before a competition. You can't run half a marathon before you do the whole thing. That's why, in principle, you have to say now, if you meet your neighbor in the stairwell, you have to make them understand that you're preparing for the next cameo video, the next Palestrina motette,
Starting point is 00:28:13 or maybe the next Rewe on the Eichelstein. So, vocal rest means just keeping your mouth shut, right? Right, keeping your professional mouth shut. And I think that could work. Lulu says there are T-shirts, they're a bit cultish, where it says, yes, I do vocal rest, I don't think you're stupid. But I have to say, in relation to people
Starting point is 00:28:32 I sometimes meet in everyday life, I have to say, I do think they're a bit stupid. So I can't buy this T-shirt now. That's a really good tip, a very good idea. Just like this mouth taping, vocal rest is certainly a fashion phenomenon that you can bring on when you have unloved conversations. A employee in a conversation, for example,
Starting point is 00:28:55 you just say to the boss, sorry boss, I do vocal rest. Or you write it to him in the notary's app and his cell phone is enough. And yes, I like that. It's a bit like going to a lawsuit. I like that, Chris. And you mentioned mouth taping before. You stick your mouth to it, because...
Starting point is 00:29:14 Your mouth. You stick your mouth to it. Because it's healthier to breathe through your nose. People want to do that at night, because they hope for an infinitely long life. And I think I thought also thought about it again, I think this is an invention of Tesa. This mouth taping, this trend.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Like Valentine's Day from the flower dealer in Tesa film and the adhesive strip industry. It has led to something that we all stick our mouths to, because we think when we breathe through the nose that we will then be 400 years old. I find that totally unpleasant, because I really have a strong hair growth around my mouth. I would say it's a strong flounder, it goes in the direction of the navel. And if I would stick something on it every night, it would hurt so much in the morning.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Yes. Then I get such a bad mood. Then I'd rather not breathe. Just stop it. That would probably be healthier for everyone, right? No, so the keyword vocal rest, that's really... Lulu is the name of the person, right? Right. Lulu, thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:30:14 That's a very good tip. And honestly, I'm going to do vocal rest now. Yes, me too. I have to get going again right now. I have something to do. I have to go greet the people at the hospital area. Today a little shorter episode, but will it will be longer, shorter again. Like life.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Yes, exactly. And we wrote down the overtime anyway, we can then move it sometime. And then we go on vacation, we do a Mediterranean cruise or something. We make a nice incentive with the company. I saw the Arosa river cruise ship yesterday. In Cologne at the cathedral it turned on the Rhine. And then I thought, Krista, I'll see you. I googled it because I was so interested.
Starting point is 00:30:53 You can't just do cruise ships, it's just an environmental sin. I just couldn't do that, I couldn't quit because I have such a bad conscience. And that's why I thought river cruise and I googled it and somewhere I read, I don't know if that's why I thought river cruise, and I googled it and read somewhere, I don't know if that's true, but that it's about as much as driving a truck. I can't say, but I think a few Stefan's in the emails will confirm, deny or just play man's play. But Chris, you don't understand what I'm trying to say.
Starting point is 00:31:21 I want to cheer you up, I want to open your arms, I want to come to you and say, Chris, let's do a river cruise. Or alternatively, let's go by a truck. Or drive around on a cruise ship in a circle. And turn on the ship that also turns at the same time. Perfect. I have to rest now. I can already feel my voice.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Chris, we'll hear you next week, then again not remotely but in person. I'm looking forward to being vis-a-vis and now I say until next week. I'm looking forward to hearing from you too. Bye! Drainys, the podcast from the comfort zone.
