Starting point is 00:00:00 Guys, Frank Sinatra from Teemu is singing it from the roofs. We are back in the city that honestly sleeps pretty often. You're scaring yourself with that. It's always said, the city where you sleep, but honestly, the here go to bed pretty early because they're all high-performers. So, and with that I wish you a wonderful Wednesday from New York City. Hello Chris, we hope you're doing well, and if not, it's okay too. We're on further education journey, so to speak. New York, the Iserlohn of the USA, you could say, right?
Starting point is 00:00:42 Here one seminar hotel is getting into the other. Here, the meeting rooms of middle-class companies are dominating. You could say, here they are all. The screws, the mother manufacturers, the duble manufacturers. Yes, the bicycle lock holders and the little conference tiles from Granini. But here they are made of plastic. That's the only difference to Iserlohn. And we can say, our hotel room room with a view of the Brooklyn roofs
Starting point is 00:01:06 where the naked people are doing yoga right now. So much has been revealed. No matter what time you look out the window, someone is always naked. Yes, and I would say doing yoga in the blazing heat and sun naked is also a despair, I would call it. to make naked is also a despair, I would like to call it. But I also noticed that I walked around in Manhattan yesterday and then I heard music, a good jazz, Billy Harper I heard and then I came across the
Starting point is 00:01:40 own main character in my film, so in my own film and that's how I fell like a shadow from my eyes, just like everyone else here and that's how they behave That was actually the main part of my film. And I was like shocked. Everyone is here. And that's how they behave. In the subway, in the supermarket. When you go in or out of the door and you stop at the door or not. Everyone is the protagonist in their own film.
Starting point is 00:02:01 I can confirm that. I feel like in my own Arth own film. Yes, I can confirm that. I feel like in my own Art House film, but one where you have to shoot 10% of the film in Sweden so that you can get some money from the Brandenburg film foundation. Exactly. And that's the question. Is it a crime, is it a drama, is it a comedy or is it in my case probably a sci-fi dystopia? That's how I feel often.
Starting point is 00:02:24 For me it's probably a sci-fi dystopia. That's how I feel often. For me, it's an erotic thriller. I have to say, it's a further journey. But I would lie if I said that there's also a vacation in between. It's also leisure. Exactly, and that's what I said to my colleagues. But they can't leave it either. Nevertheless, I will call them.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Nevertheless, I will be forced to leave with messages And even though I've said this on the phone before, what I'm doing here... I don't have time, I'm fighting zombies in New York. I'll call later. Sorry, Julia, I don't have my hellboard with me. I have to read everything individually from the Finder. By hand? By hand.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Hand-to-hand? No, I won't do that today. For all the people who love the hellbord so much, it's not here today. No, we would probably have to give up the Hellbord as a luggage. And if they asked us at the immigration, what is that? We would have said, this is the Hellbord. The Hellbord is where you press the button and then Robert Geiss says something or Kai Floume. I would have said. Well, where I'm listening to Robert Geiss,
Starting point is 00:03:26 they live in Monaco for a while, they live in many places in the world. Only in the most beautiful spots on Earth, for example Dubai. By the way, I wanted to say, I saw a episode where they, no, they weren't in New York anymore, or were they still in New York?
Starting point is 00:03:42 I saw a short episode with the Geissens in New York, where they didn't stay in the subway, because it was so dangerous there. A normal subway line somewhere in Manhattan. In Manhattan, where? In the Upper East Side, where all the billionaires of the world set foot on it once a week. So it's probably dangerous somewhere else.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Yeah, that's pretty funny. But you wanted to say something else. He's at home in the world, has different housing and real estate, and among other things in Dubai, but also in Monaco. Monaco doesn't even come to mind since then. I was there as a child and that's so ugly. What did you do there?
Starting point is 00:04:15 Steering or what? I went to Formula 1. How do you get there as a child? Only Formula 1 cars. I don't know either. I think we were stopped or something. I don't know. I was too small to handle it.
Starting point is 00:04:23 But I thought that was already ugly. In front of the Lines car. I don't know, I think we were stopped or something. I was too small to handle it, but I thought it was ugly back then. And it's still ugly. On the way to the campsite, right? Yes, exactly. We then drove through Europe with the junk cart. And Monaco is... With the Kelly's.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Monaco, I wish we had a big bus station with a small Volkswagen 1, VW Golf 1. What they least know, you're something like the Kelly Family of the winning country. That was already known in the 90s. You were booked a B program if the Kelly Family couldn't do it. Yes, exactly. And the Kelly Family often couldn't do it. Yes, in our town it definitely smelled like it when we went camping. Anyway, Monaco, a very small country, a very small city state.
Starting point is 00:05:07 And I read that Central Park is just as big as Monaco. So Central Park in New York is as big as Monaco. It's a very small country and it's a lot of space in a very small space. That means many skyscrapers where many millionaires live in expensive apartments. And I thought that would be my plan B. That if I don't run the podcast anymore and I don't sell any books anymore, that I might go to Monaco to look for my luck and apply for the post office. Because it would be extremely chill to be a mailbox. There you have three streets, All letters come in one house.
Starting point is 00:05:47 And then you have a day off at 9.30. You come to work at 8.30. You can go home. You take the pile of letters, the one you have, and you put them in a lantern on the street and say, I didn't find the way home.
Starting point is 00:05:59 The mailbox doesn't want to. You'll find the letters on the street from now on. And the funny thing is, I live in the house myself. And that means I'm home right away. They don't have a way to work, you know? That's something new, when the mailman doesn't come by, but when we visit them at home and then at the kitchen table...
Starting point is 00:06:17 He gets his letter. While others are still packing their cigarettes, the letters are distributed. So, baker, summer... That would be tough, right? Getting your mail somewhere every day. With some private person. I saw a documentary on ZDF,
Starting point is 00:06:32 or on YouTube, made by ZDF. It wasn't about Monaco, but about Mallorca. About a German policeman who's in a exchange program in Mallorca and the Mallorcan colleague grabs the arm at the playa. Cool! They go to Stryfe together and he communicates in German with the people who speak German there.
Starting point is 00:06:55 And I picked up an interesting way of speaking. I didn't even check that it was a way of speaking. I had to google it because I didn't know what it meant or what it was. He said, short pants, wooden rifle. The policeman. Short pants, wooden rifle. I don't know that either. I honestly don't know in what context. I think when he talked about the German tourists at the Ballermann,
Starting point is 00:07:18 I googled it and it said, unhelped, helpless, unprepared. A bit haughty, but more like down-to-earth., helpless, unprepared. If you're a bit of a hamster, but more like a low-lifesmith. So short pants, wooden rifles... So you'd be dressed in short pants and wooden rifles in a war. Yes, I've read that it's children's game, who run around in wooden rifles and short pants. And I'd like to hear this talk, which I've never heard of before,
Starting point is 00:07:41 and obviously only on Ballermann in the form of an exchange program between Lower Saxony police officers and Majorcan police officers, I would like to let you into this podcast in today's episode from New York, if possible. I'd love to. You can use it like this.
Starting point is 00:07:58 I'm in the supermarket in Manhattan, wearing short pants and a wooden rifle. Yes, very good. Completely unprepared. Like me today on a bike in the rain with long pants and a wooden gun. Yes, very good. So completely unprepared. Just like me today on a bike in the rain, with long pants and a shirt without raincoat, and then short pants and a wooden gun, just completely broke through the bike.
Starting point is 00:08:12 The policeman said something else, he had to let go of all the stuff from the shirt in a quiet minute, he had to let go of all the stuff and he had to call his son in Lower Saxony FaceTime, and of course the ZDF, the second German television, heldTime. And of course, the ZDF, the second German TV, was very hard on him in that intimate moment,
Starting point is 00:08:28 together, in the morning or evening... On the wall? On the wall, in shorts, too. And then he had that intimate conversation with his son, where you say, male hearts, where you go to the feeling of the cloth again, and you say, now, how is the modern man, we can talk about feelings, emotionally. Where the son is first greeted with friendship.
Starting point is 00:08:50 And that was new to me. Oh shit. Friendship. So when I say Julia, friendship. Friendship. Exactly, something like, I would say something like meal time. That's really like a barracks. Yes, I don't know where it comes from.
Starting point is 00:09:04 No, it's a police station, I don't know where it comes from. No, it's a police station, you don't want to live there either. Great people, great people behind the uniform. Very nice people, the heart on the right spot. Do you know what really touched me in this documentary? Where he said that it was his big dream for a long time to go on the playa on the baller's foot for once. He was on vacation a lot, and then he thought,
Starting point is 00:09:29 man, his wife is probably there, Ursula, that's it, to go on the playa on the baller's foot. And then I think, when he's in New York, at the Times Square, he also says, Ursula, here at the Times Square, to go on the foot for once. Man, that's it. To go on the Jakobsweg strip. Yes, but that's how it is.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Everyone has other wishes in life, they pursue something else. I'm going to give him, it worked out. Imagine, you dream of it, on sunny Caribbean dream beaches, to forbid people from things and to put people in handcuffs. Dreamlike, right? What kind of dreams are these? That's crazy. Well, the people who are on holiday in the Ballermann, I often give them the handcuffs.
Starting point is 00:10:10 I have to say that too. But we flew here now, we didn't seem to have come with a sailboat and didn't swim either. We flew by plane and there are also the colleagues in uniform in the cockpit. And then the start-off was delayed. And you were there. Yes. I was there. And then the following happened.
Starting point is 00:10:31 There was a statement. Dear passengers, our take-off is delayed at an uncertain time. Because the board computer was broken, stuck, frozen, blue screen, you don't know. Stuck, immediately finish, left top, you don't know, stuck, immediately end, left up on the apple icon, didn't work and then he said now comes an electronics guy and he starts us here the machine new and I thought so seriously, he does the same as if at home the TV, the new LG Smart TV
Starting point is 00:10:58 down with the apps not working, that you just say now I'll take it out and back in, like with the WLAN if it doesn't work. Have you tried to switch it off and on again? And that's how it was. And then it was rebooted, and then the power was gone from the plane. And I thought, oh cool, yes, the electronics failed. I'm looking forward to taking off with it right away,
Starting point is 00:11:19 into the airspace. And then it was said, that's something that happens more often and nothing unusual. And I have two questions. First, how often does it happen that the computers fail and have to restart on a long-haul flight? And second, how unusual is it? Because if you have to emphasize it like that, if you have to mention that it happens more often, then it's not a normal thing. And pilots are an important professional group, because without them you wouldn't be able to take off planes. You give your own life to the pilots, and it should be a trustworthy person. And I have a short-haul flight. When you get in, you can look into the cockpit.
Starting point is 00:12:05 When you walk in, when you greet, where I didn't know either, when you greet the flight attendant, you check if you're drunk or not. Did you know that? They say hello, good morning. And instinctively you have to answer like you shot a gun so they know you're awake, you're there.
Starting point is 00:12:21 You haven't got drunk from the alcohol before the departure, because otherwise you can't fly anymore. And I once saw a pilot, with whom I flew with, on the steering wheel, do you say that? Behind the flight crank, we're still talking about the steering wheel. Behind the flight crank! Behind the propeller. At the Icarus.
Starting point is 00:12:39 And I'm not lying, he was on the propeller. And I have to say, I didn't get in that with a good feeling. Because you say that the one who was on a dive, decides now whether I get there alive or not. On the other hand, you could also say he was deeply relaxed, it felt like home. My thesis is the most difficult thing about being a pilot is the training.
Starting point is 00:13:03 After that it's absolutely boring. Because, to be honest, Chris, there's a reason why it's called autopilot. There's a reason. It comes from the plane. The lever is activated once and then it's over. Start and landing is the only really cool job they have there. And maybe with turbulence. So, under the banner you can say,
Starting point is 00:13:23 a flight from Frankfurt to New York is not more complicated than exporting a PDF. Right? I would even like to doubt whether it is more complicated to convert a PDF. Depending on which homepage you get, you sometimes accidentally close a subscription. Yes, but I have to say that the bubbling pilot, that wasn't a good feeling. And it reminded me a bit of the feeling of when you used to see the teachers in private clothes, in private uniforms somewhere, or met them. Oh yes, unpleasant. I once met my class teacher in Freiburg, in flip-flops. I have to say, there was a lot of respect for that after this Saturday afternoon.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Did he wear a banana steamslipper from Speedo? A tight-fitting little bag? No, he wore a billabong. That's even worse! Work and travel style! A wide pair of pants and a bit too small flip-flops. Where I said, man... You don't want a popel-pilot.
Starting point is 00:14:22 You don't want to see that. I'd say, just close the door to the cockpit. I don't want a popel pilot. You don't want to see that. I would say just close the door to the cockpit. I don't want to look inside. You do your thing, I'll do mine. I also like to look at myself before the downpour. Is it less of a problem to turn off the thermals here? And I'm a subscriber, I'm the owner of an app. From the German Weather Service.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Because it was said that the best app is app you can watch because of the rain radar. To be honest, it's not that good, but it cost me money. And that's what I value. And sometimes I get push notifications when there's an out-of-tune warning. Near you or somewhere in the world? No, already near me. And that's a good thing, because heavy rain and stuff is dangerous and stormy. You know that.
Starting point is 00:15:06 But I always get the push notification, official weather warning. Where I ask myself, official, does that mean officially? Or in the sense of a weather warning that has washed itself? A sensible weather warning. An official weather warning, people. That's so slang, that's so Gen Z-like. that has washed itself. A a a
Starting point is 00:15:26 a a a a a a a a
Starting point is 00:15:34 a a a a a a a a
Starting point is 00:15:42 a a a a a a a Now there's going to be a lot of hailstorms. I'll tell you one thing, Chris. I could have used this official weather warning today. You know it yourself, you were there. Something happened to me. I wouldn't have thought in a thousand years that something like this would happen to me. The probability, I would like to know how high the probability is that something like this happened. And it happened to me.
Starting point is 00:15:59 I can't believe it. We were, as I said, on the bike. In Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn. We rode through the rain and found a park. So what did we do? We sat on a bench under the protection of a big tree and there we escaped the rain and could sit there in the dry. Yes, you ask yourself what we did there. I know it.
Starting point is 00:16:22 I'm fighting zombies in New York. I'll play this clip three or four more times because I know it. I'm fighting zombies in New York. I'll play this clip three to four more times, because I like it so much. I like it too. Anyway, we were in Herbert von King Park. Herbert von King Park. And I sit there and I come to rest. I drink my little can of cola.
Starting point is 00:16:39 I try to let my soul rest a little. And suddenly something hits me in the head. It was acoustic to hear. I sat next to it, taken as if I was dragged into the internet by the algorithm. So completely with nerves at the end, rain, bike and so on. More like the panties, the chain and everything. And suddenly I hear, blop.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Yes, it was heavy. It was heavier than a chestnut or something. It really hurt on the back of my head. And I'm really glad that I have pretty thick hair. And that kind of felt a bit. But I was really scared and it hurt. And when I heard that, I instinctively turned my head to you. And I didn't see anything there.
Starting point is 00:17:20 And then you said that something fell on your head. Yes! And I looked up because I wanted to know what it was. What is it on this tree? Does this giant tree have any fruit that I can't... Is that a coconut tree? I thought, what is it? Is it a coconut on my head? A colorful banana.
Starting point is 00:17:35 And a mango and a dragon fruit, what do I know? And I didn't see anything. And then I looked behind me to see what it was, what flew on my head. And now I really have to say, people, that it wasn't invented. That it happened exactly like that. It happened to me today. I can't believe it myself. But what fell on my head.
Starting point is 00:17:58 It was... It was... It was a chicken coop. I can't laugh about it, but it was a total shock. It doesn't surprise me. It must have come from a bird. We know it could be an squirrel or someone living in the trees. I could check it out, but the tree was so dense
Starting point is 00:18:27 that I couldn't figure out if someone was sitting there. At first I thought someone threw the chicken coop from behind. Yes, I thought so too, but there was nobody who could have thrown anything. It came straight from above, just straight on me, without a curve, it's right on my back. And it was really a chicken keel, a fried, completely still all on it. And it looked fresh.
Starting point is 00:18:50 It looked fresh, actually. The marinade looked delicious. Could have been honey mustard, gold brown. I just had fucking chicken keels on my head. And what a noshie, right? It wasn't a chicken, it was a rooster. It was a grown-up rooster. I took a picture of a chicken's head.
Starting point is 00:19:08 I couldn't believe it. I just found a chicken's head out of nowhere. Let's assume it was a bird that ate this chicken's head. Isn't it a bit weird that birds eat other species? I want to go that far and say that it's cannibalism.
Starting point is 00:19:24 I can remember that at Social Network other feather animals eat? I'd like to go as far as to say that it's cannibalism. I can remember that in Social Network, in the movie, there was an ad against the Winklewurst twins who were involved in the founding of Facebook because they gave a chicken to eat chicken nuggets. And then they were, I think, targeted by cannibalism, if I remember correctly. So I, targeted at cannibalism, if I remember correctly. So I think cannibalism...
Starting point is 00:19:46 Maybe the reason, maybe the bird made the moral decision, I'd rather not eat that, those are friends, maybe even relatives of mine, I'll let that fall. And then it drops directly on my head. Well, maybe the bird also signed up on a container app and said, well, tonight at Chick-fil-A there are still leftovers,
Starting point is 00:20:08 we'll go get them in the container. Tickle, tickle. Yeah, right. Before they throw them away, I'm a kind of pleasure. I really wouldn't have in my coldest dreams expected that something like this is possible. That you sit in a beautiful park, try to enjoy the time, and suddenly a chicken coop falls on your head.
Starting point is 00:20:27 That's really unbelievable. And I'd like to challenge something now. I mean, what are the odds that something like that happens? The chances were very low, but it happened to me. It was actually something like a natural spectacle. And I think that should also be kept in the history books. And that's why I want the place where the hen's nest fell on my head to become a pilgrimage site.
Starting point is 00:20:53 I want people to go to this bank and maybe even lay flowers there, maybe even small hen's nests. No, that doesn't have to be. Or maybe just arrange flowers in the form of a hen's nest. Yes. That will probably be in there. You can also put flowers down, leave them lying for a while, and then take them home with you.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Not that people still have work. You can make the coordinates into the show notes, Julia. We make the coordinates into the show notes, people. You could go to the bank now and then you can remember me there. If you're there, link me to the chicken-cow crash in 2025. There will be generations talking about it. I'm pretty sure of that. And I'll tell you later, I have to say,
Starting point is 00:21:34 I had fun talking about Robert Geiss, but New York is very dangerous. Yes, honestly. And I didn't have to deal with chicken-cow anymore, but you had a lot to do with heat hot weather, but you had to deal with the heat. It's very, very warm. It's summer now, and I drink a lot in the heat. I'm on the road a lot, and that's the problem.
Starting point is 00:21:56 I always have to go to the toilet. I have my toilet card here, which I've already introduced. Got2go NYC. You can download it and load it on Google Maps and you can see where there are toilets and sometimes you have to go to a restaurant and I realized, good restaurants, to go to the toilet upstairs is McDonalds so, now I'm in there, the problem with McDonalds is often that there are security people who say no no no no no you are not only allowed to go to the toilet here, you also have to buy something
Starting point is 00:22:23 and now I've made the mistake several times. I then felt like I was being pulled over by a car. To use the toilet there, because it was really urgent. And it was hot, I thought, okay, I'm going to the toilet. And I'll buy something cheap here. So that I can also justify going to the toilet. Because the problem is, there are not many public toilets here. I mean, just like in Germany, there's a problem with us too. And I always ordered a coke.
Starting point is 00:22:51 But now the problem is, on your side I go to the toilet, empty myself, relieve myself, go outside with the coke, drink it, and half an hour later I have to go to the toilet again from the liter of coke. I have to go to the next McDonald's. There they say again, no, no, no, no, for customers only, then I have to buy a coke again. Yes, action, reaction, that's the circle of life.
Starting point is 00:23:13 I go to the next McDonald's, have to buy a coke again and you can imagine, that would have me on the edge. I haven't seen much of New York yet, but I know all McDonald's finals now. Yes, and I also know the interior of all McDonald's finals from inside, because I always wait for you. And I discovered something very exciting, at least in McDonald's in Williamsburg there was a sign that you can only stand and eat at the table for 20 minutes.
Starting point is 00:23:33 That means you have a time window of 20 minutes to eat your Big Mac menu, which I already find sporty. I eat very slowly. That means I would really get into the redouille. I was just thinking, let me think, 20 minutes, is that something stressful? I don't think so. I think after 4 minutes, maximum 5, I'm done. Because I want to get out of there quickly anyway.
Starting point is 00:23:54 I mean, you have to say, McDonald's, always a great atmosphere. Especially in the big city, I'm only going there because of the ambiance. Because of the modern feeling, actually. But 31 degrees was yesterday and we said, hot, anti-cyclical thinking, the sun is shining, we're going to the cinema. Yes, perfect. And the problem is now, or I mean,
Starting point is 00:24:16 God bless America, you could say that, they have the coolest air conditioners everywhere, from the finest. And they are also set up so that. Not only that you're cool, but also that you're undercooled. And yesterday I put on the lightest blouse I have, the lightest pants in this heat, so that I'm
Starting point is 00:24:34 as light as possible textile-technically on the road. And then we go to this cinema and it's just minus 10 degrees. That's of course exaggerated, but I'll tell you it was, so in room temperature it's about 20 degrees, 21 degrees, there was definitely 17 degrees, or 16 degrees. And if you really, in short pants, short t-shirt...
Starting point is 00:24:53 Short pants, wooden gun. Exactly, and slightly sweaty, come in. Hey, after half an hour I was so cold. Yes, and the sweat crystallized. I had little crystals in my eyebrows and blue lips. And when someone opened the door to the cinema, you heard this. And honestly, Chris, I'm celebrating.
Starting point is 00:25:14 For me, it's perfect. I want to cool down. For me, it can't be cold enough. I couldn't do it anymore at some point. And thank God, a gift from heaven, an angelic feeling that came up in my head, I have to go to the toilet. So, the toilet, the tap, drove me outside. While filming, you could say,
Starting point is 00:25:34 next to us were two other people in the cinema, it wasn't that hard for me to get up and sneak out. If that had been the case, let's see what I would have done then. But I went out and I have to say, in the hallway, on the toilet, there was no air conditioner. It was really nice and warm there. And you may have noticed, I went out two or three more times in the film. But I don't have to go to the toilet anymore, I haven't drunk anything anymore,
Starting point is 00:25:58 but I went out to warm up in the toilet. You just put it in the hallway. I sat on the bowl and warmed up a bit and then came back. I want to recommend a movie that we watched. I've already done it on Instagram, but not everyone has Instagram. The movie is called Drop Dead City. It's in the IFC Center in West Village. And it's about the financial crisis in New York in 1975.
Starting point is 00:26:23 When New York was really very, very close to the bankruptcy. I didn't know that either. I didn't know anything about it at all and it was so interesting because then suddenly everyone started fighting. There were no teachers anymore, there was no police, there were hardly any firemen left. And a fireman reported on it in an O-tone that the whole city was burned down. The people burned their property so they could get money from the insurance company. They had 30 fires per night per car. Per car. Per night.
Starting point is 00:26:57 It was an unbelievable state. The garbage was not delivered. Everything was dirty. It was very dangerous in the city. You were attacked everywhere. It was Sodom and Gomorrah. And the documentation was very well done, and it has a lot of original recordings from the time, and it was super interesting. I think Robert Geyes would have not liked to take the subway. But someone said that, right?
Starting point is 00:27:20 Somehow the police made a campaign, doesn't take the subway, goes to the streets after 6pm. I think that's also to get some attention from the so-called politicians, because they wanted to emphasize how important their job is. That was commented on two pages. As I said, a really good, differentiated documentary. Yes, so people from the police also went to JFK airport
Starting point is 00:27:45 and watched the people who arrived there when they came out of the gate and pressed the flyer, where 4 cities were written on it. Don't travel to New York, don't come here, the city is too dangerous, you can't spend time here, it's just too dangerous, let it stay. So, it was really absolutely, completely insane, the time. Yes and cinema is also often recommended as a date, first or second date
Starting point is 00:28:09 probably rather recommended and I would say it's a good idea, as a second date you can then talk about a film afterwards, you have something to talk about, you have a common experience. But yesterday we were at the Comedy Open Mic and a comedian asked who was dating, is there even someone on a date here? And many people replied. Well, not many, I think there were 12 people in the audience. That's the other thing.
Starting point is 00:28:36 But I noticed, yes, that's true. So you go on a comedy open mic as one of the first dates, and that's really, really smart. You can directly watch, especially in an evening where different people appear on stage, you can watch how your date reacts to different humorous reactions and immediately notice. You can immediately observe after that
Starting point is 00:28:58 when the person laughs at the wrong place, when she dares to only smirk at bad jokes. Yes, perfect. Honestly, it's not better. I would do the same. I would do exactly that. And we were here in Brooklyn, a comedy club, in the Union Hall, and I would like to give you a recommendation,
Starting point is 00:29:14 because I am sometimes asked, where is a good comedy? And the good comedy, if you listen to this podcast, the Trini's podcast, Julia and me, Yes, hi. if you like this podcast, then you me, if you like this podcast,
Starting point is 00:29:26 then you can say we like the things in Brooklyn. Union Hall is an institution, Bell House and Littlefield. These are three event locations and there are many open mics. You can go there. If you hear this podcast and say it's nice and good, but I also hear mixed sound, I think it's a little better, then you can go to a comedy club in Manhattan. There are many.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Justin and Jason's in blue shirts. Power performer comedians. That's another direction. It's okay, but not my thing. So the cocaine comedians are more in Manhattan and the grass comedians are in Brooklyn. You could say that. And if you want to have financial comedy directly,
Starting point is 00:30:04 then there's also Pup Pee. That's near you could say. And if you want to have a financial comedy, there's also Puppi, which is near Washington Square Park. It's a pure bitcoin bar. By the way, Donald Trump recently came in and celebrated there. And there's the ETF Comedy Night once a month. So comedy where it's only about EGF. I wasn't there. I don't go there anymore since Donald Trump,
Starting point is 00:30:30 since they outed themselves as Donald Trump fans. But you used to be a regular customer there. You were the first and last one to go out. I just knocked out the bitcoins. You were seen at the store at half past four in the morning how you changed stories. I just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just... just And there was also Asher Ward who works at SNL. And there are still 12 people in such small clubs. And it's super funny. It was really good. Do you want to talk about SNL or do we do it another time? Let's do it another time.
Starting point is 00:31:11 I don't think it's that good. I never understand why it's so hyped in Germany. I just don't understand it. But all people like something different. Every YAC is different. And you can also have bad luck there. Also in these clubs here in Brooklyn. There was also one yesterday, who had a little bit, the jokes were really a little bit,
Starting point is 00:31:29 so he also shot a little bit in the wrong direction. I don't want to give it back now. And it was also a little bit, everyone has already seen it. It was a little bit easier to do and a simple laugh, trying to get rid of it. And he made me,
Starting point is 00:31:44 I made it hard, among these 12 people. You said afterwards that it was exactly the same for you. He also looked at you. I mean, we were two of 12 people. It wasn't as difficult to find us in the audience as the other 10. Last row in the middle. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:31:58 And I have to say, he was also very confrontational with the audience, he always addressed the people. And I have to say, I laughed at the jokes only out of kindness, that's the wrong word, only out of fear, so he doesn't think, I wouldn't find him funny, that he just doesn't think of the idea of talking to me. Yes, I also find crowd work incredibly exhausting,
Starting point is 00:32:19 that you always have to interact. I don't want to interact, I always duck away. And I think in the US it's a completely different quality. You're constantly being asked to tell how you're doing, whether you're having a good time, whether you find it funny. And I'm like, yeah, okay. But I'm really looking forward to next week's show with Dimetri Martin in the Bell House.
Starting point is 00:32:37 And I'm really, really, really looking forward to that. His book, This is a Book, was a really, really big inspiration for my book, by the way. Yeah, a very funny guy. And we always tell from our perspective how we perceive it. I think in the USA, for example, it's my impression that people really like to interact with a comedy show. I don't want to say they push themselves to the front, but they think it's really great. Without judging it from my point of view.
Starting point is 00:33:07 For me it's nothing and I'll never do it again. I think you can demonstrate power there. And you can try to give an impression to the audience, if you want to. I see that with some people who do it like that, to create a certain hierarchy to hopefully make people laugh more than to make it too obvious. But what I would like to know is,
Starting point is 00:33:29 I know that some people in New York who listen to this podcast that there are Trinnis here in New York. Yes. And I would like to know, maybe we'll make another episode from New York. Maybe a little call, maybe you could send us an email at infoatrinis.de with your opinion on what is Trini-friendly and what is Trini-unfriendly in the US, but especially in New York.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Because it's a bit different from the rest of the country. I would be really interested. And of course people who have been living here for a long time not only for two weeks on vacation but people who have been living here for a long time, not just for two weeks, but people who have been living here for a year or longer. I'd really like to know. infoatrinis.de Yes, write to us. And if you can get it somehow,
Starting point is 00:34:12 maybe a keyword, in the best case we can read several things. But if you need more space, then use the space. The internet has a lot to offer. And emails have a lot of space too. Just a quick word, Holstke would be happy to hear it. He would be really happy.
Starting point is 00:34:27 After a chicken coil flew over my head today, I had to recover first. And where can you do that best? I'm honest. Personally, I can recover best in New York at Trader Joe's. Where exactly? At the entrance? Or in the first or second floor? Where you are pushed away, or in the line, where you feel like, shit, how does this work? Everything with these little strings. And sometimes the bell is ringing,
Starting point is 00:34:51 is there a round now, like in a pub? Questions, questions. I, surprisingly, today is Saturday, and it wasn't as bad as last time, when we were there in the evening, during the week. That was much worse. Then the line to the cashier started at the entrance of the store. That means you had to shop while you were standing in the evening. That was much worse. The line to the cashier started at the entrance. You had to shop while standing in the line.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Which was funny. I thought it was interesting. People put their basket in the line and went to the yogurts. They bought yogurts, then they thought, I need a head salad. They pushed the basket a little further with their feet. The shopping basket is a legitimate representative
Starting point is 00:35:27 of a human individual. It's accepted that way. In any case, I thought it was okay today. Trader Joe's Court Street looks very good in a very old historical building, obviously. Well, I could get there from the fall of the chicken coop. And of course we had to look what new things
Starting point is 00:35:45 was there in the offer, what new snacks. They have a really good product development, they do their own stuff and at fair prices. You have to say that in New York, really fair prices. And today we really hit it off. Funny thing is that you said to me before, Chris, let's go to the store in a targeted way, not that we end up with 20 things again. And I said, Chris, to go to the store with a goal, not to end up with 20 things.
Starting point is 00:36:07 And I said, yeah, that's fine. And we went to the store next to the basket. After a minute, not even half a minute, I met you again in the hallway, the whole basket filled with snacks. Because everything's awesome. And Julia, why do we do that for the week's Snack? Of course, only for the week. We the Week, we're putting that off, that's for sure!
Starting point is 00:36:27 Cut it out! You have to say, we weren't only at Trader Joe's, at Jupp's, as he's called in German, we were also in other supermarkets, but I have a thesis why I filled my shopping cart so quickly, like I wanted to, and that's not sponsored by Trader Joe's. Schön wär's... Schön wär's by the Aldi brothers. Schön wär's...
Starting point is 00:36:55 Yes, right. ...pays for it themselves, and also in other supermarkets it's paid for. My thesis is why Trader Joe's has so many interesting products is because they have their own brands. And exclusive own brands. There are no Snickers or Mars. And I think that they don't have to look at it like
Starting point is 00:37:14 oh, we have an M&M's product here and if we would make M&M's with marshmallow filling then we would betray the brand M&M's. That doesn't matter to them. It doesn't matter to Jupp. Short pants, wooden gun. He just does what he likes. And then interesting products come out
Starting point is 00:37:32 that sometimes taste better, sometimes worse. But I want to get to my recommendation now. I really struggled with the week's recommendation because I really had different things to choose from. I've already sorted them out and there are four things that I want to mention and I can really recommend two of them. One thing I want to mention is, wait a minute, these are called pieces,
Starting point is 00:37:55 so bites, actually chocolate things. Pieces. Yes, pieces. And that's called Root Beer Float Pieces and I think Root Beer Float is a drink, I don't know, is it that with vanilla ice cream? Yeah, Float means that there's a ball of vanilla ice cream. It's also available with cola and stuff. Exactly, I've never drank it before and I'm not a beer drinker either. Is Root Beer a real thing? Root Beer is not a beer, no.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Okay, I don't care. I don't care at all, I've never drunk it before. And I have to say that it's an experience, but I can't recommend it 100% because it tastes a bit like soap afterwards. But it crunches in the mouth. That's this, you know, like Ahoy Brause. What's the name of that thing in Germany? Ahoy Brause wasn't there in Switzerland that was so crispy in the mouth when you shoot it in. And that's also chocolate. That's kind of cookie pieces in there. And covered in a root beer flavored confection coating with popping candy.
Starting point is 00:38:47 So, really... So, crispy soap. Exactly, crispy soap. But I can't recommend it here. If you say I'm open to experiments, you can try it. Yes. So, I want to come to my first recommendation and that is popcorn. And popcorn is a nice thing and often tastes more like medium.
Starting point is 00:39:08 Similar to a crunch and this is the most crispy popcorn I've ever eaten in my life. Au Backe! Peanut butter caramel coated popcorn. So with peanut butter and caramel coated popcorn. Actually, I'm surprised that there's not a layer of chocolate
Starting point is 00:39:24 and frosting. Exactly, frosting and a sugar glaze and just a layer of fat on top. Because peanut butter and caramel over the popcorn, that's a lot. And it's vegan. That's a formal combination. And it tastes very good. It's crispy, but I have to draw a few points because I think it could be more caramel flavor and a little less peanut butter. So if you like peanut butter and caramel and popcorn, for those people it's something, if you don't like it, it's nothing. May I briefly come to the evaluation?
Starting point is 00:39:56 Very welcome. Taste, I have to give a point, 9 out of 10. It could be a little more caramel. Price-performance, that's not all that expensive at Trader Joe's. So I think for New Yorker, what you pay for is really insane. That costs 3.79 dollars and I don't know, I think it's 170 grams. I think that's okay. It's a bit more expensive than a cheap popcorn in Germany, but it's not a normal popcorn.
Starting point is 00:40:23 How do we evaluate the purchase effort in New York? I don't know, it's in every Tr but it's not a normal popcorn. How do we rate the amount of money you get in New York? I don't know, it's in every Trader Joe's, but Trader Joe's are not everywhere, and especially not in Germany. I don't know, what do we say? I always say very badly, when you come from Germany, it's 0 points, but very good when you live in New York, that's 10 points, so you have to hit the middle.
Starting point is 00:40:43 And for me, the sense of life is 10 out of 10, because you actually get more than you want and actually healthily too annoying. That's why that fits for me. And Julia, what do you have with you? I can see it's going in a, can you say, hearty direction? It's going in a hearty direction and I see above all that the bag is already half empty,
Starting point is 00:41:00 because it just tastes so good to me. And it was a little surprise, to be honest. It looks unspectacular. It's called baked cheese crunchies, cheese flavored corn snacks. And it says less than 40% less fat than normal fried cheese flavored corn snacks, which is pretty crazy.
Starting point is 00:41:16 And it tastes really good. I love everything that's with cheese, all these cheese balls, especially Cheetos. But here I have to say, Cheetos tastes very artificial, and this artificial cheese actually covers everything. But here you have a really nice crunch, and you really taste the corn. It's not so... it's not so blatantly over-the-top.
Starting point is 00:41:37 It's really, really awesome, it tastes really good, it even has less fat, it's somehow a crazy snack, I didn't expect that. I think it cost $2.69. Absolutely fair. For 7 ounces, 198 grams. You can't complain in New York, I'll put it that way. Life feeling. Cheesy, US-American, 10 out of 10.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Yeah, I salute that. I'm holding my hand up high, and I wish there were a few fighting chats would fly over me. God bless the US. And then what else do we have? Purchase effort, yes, as you said, five out of ten. And taste, yes, what should I say? Is it cheesy? Is it, uh, corny? Measly? Nine out of ten, of course. It's something light in between, or can you say that? I still have a snack, but I want to say what I don't recommend.
Starting point is 00:42:27 Because it actually tastes good to me, but I told myself I'm not at the age where I recommend nuts as a snack. And there are pecan nuts here, I think with sugar. It's actually like burnt almonds, but the pecan nuts taste very good. It really tastes very good. But I'm not here yet in the Sudoku crossword puzzle bubble where you put a little bit of nuts and listen to it. I'm not there yet, but honestly, somehow I'm already there. That's a bit like the gated senior community in Florida.
Starting point is 00:43:00 With a canister and then so burned pecan nuts to eat. In front on the veranda let's see what's on the street that's not how it works and all you have are pecan nuts and that's actually my life horizon I'll go into that later but I would like to recommend something else
Starting point is 00:43:18 English Toffee and there it is clear there is simply caramel coated with nuts and milk chocolate, and it tastes brutal. I don't think they're nuts, they're almonds. And I can recommend that. But I advise everyone, before they go to Trader Joe's, to pick up Check24,
Starting point is 00:43:36 and get a tooth care insurance. The cheapest you can get is enough, but make sure it's covered abroad, so you can get dental treatment here, because the stuff is hard. And I have a denture on my tooth, years ago, 10, 15 years ago, something was stuck on it, in front of my awesome golf-playing,
Starting point is 00:43:56 flying fish-fishing dentist, you know, the one with the awesome brownie. Actually someone who can play with Ossi California like this. The Giuliani from Switzerland. Absolutely awesome guy, and he stuck it so well the guy with the cool brown hair. Actually someone who can play with OZ California 1-1. The Giuliani from Switzerland. Absolutely cool guy and he stuck it so well that it lasted today. But I started to bite off on the side
Starting point is 00:44:12 when I was a little boy, because that's not without. I also tried to cost it and I have to say, I had to stop. My teeth are very weak, they wouldn't stand it. And I also think it doesn't look like Toffee at all. It looks like a package, like a small pack of Balshud.
Starting point is 00:44:27 And it's also like you're biting on Balshud. It's like a very tasty stone. It looks like a mixture of Balshud and dog treats. Can we say that? Yes, nice. Tasty. Yes. You broke up in not a base camp, but in a second intermediate camp. What's your name?
Starting point is 00:44:44 You actually need a kind of foreman. Like a shepherd who will foretell for you. Who will find no reward in the end. But will be involved in the success of the English Toffee. You need taste, 10 out of 10. Price-performance, 10 out of 10. Purchase-work, we already explained. Life-feel. Look at this.
Starting point is 00:45:05 A nice fractured font, English toffee. You feel like you're in a British tea club. You're playing a game of backgammon. And then it's off to the horse race. That's my world. I'm wearing my Knickerbocker. I'm putting on a cup of tea. And I like to sit in the earplugs,
Starting point is 00:45:26 in the photo and eat an English Toffee. Yes, nice. I'd say that's a beautiful keyword, your Knickerbocker. You can now cross it out again. I think we should go out again and enjoy a little New York. Let's do it. Hopefully it stays dry and we don't get chicken coals.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Yes, I hope it doesn't rain chicken coals today. But the coordinators, as I said, we'll write in the show notes. You can go there and then link me. And if everything goes well and Julia isn't beaten by chicken coals and is in a dead environment, then next week on the Drini Tuesday there will be a podcast episode from New York, a special episode from our hotel room,
Starting point is 00:46:04 a podcast room that is unfortunately ultra-heated because we turned off the air conditioning so that it doesn't rumble. One thing you can also reveal, this is the first episode that I record in bed from my hotel bed because you don't have room here. I didn't want to get too close to you, I didn't say it on purpose. I thought I wouldn't say it now. And you know what, now I'm going to eat baked cheese crunchies in bed.
Starting point is 00:46:24 And with that I wish you a wonderful week and we'll see you next week on Tuesday. Thank you for listening. Thank you for turning on Trini Tuesday. We're very happy about that. And then see you next time. Bye! Bye! If you're anything like us, you love attention. And my favorite way to get all eyes on me is with next level shiny glossy hair. Which is why we're so excited to tell y'all about the new LaMeller gloss collection from the girlies at Tresemme.
Starting point is 00:47:23 And gigglers, we've got you too. Because Tresemme partnered with us to bring you 1-800-GLOSS, a special bonus episode of Giggly Squad where Hannah and I give advice on all things hair and giving gloss. Check out the episode and grab the LaMeller gloss collection today because I'm officially declaring this spring gloss season.
