Starting point is 00:00:00 Drenys, the podcast from the comfort zone. Welcome to a new episode of Drenys. We hope you're doing well, and if not, it's okay. We're back in the podcast room, gathered. Gathered in pairs. Yeah, yeah. How many rows of... Chris, do you want to say what's going on with you?
Starting point is 00:00:33 We were in a Bob Dylan movie. And I'm not Bob Dylan. I'm not parodying Bob Dylan, but Timothy Chalamet, who plays Bob Dylan. Yeah. Yeah, that's one thing, right? Biopic is one thing anyway, but Bob Dylan's Biopic was very special. Yeah, exactly. Because we were both neither Bob Dylan connoisseurs nor Bob Dylan fans.
Starting point is 00:00:58 We were told to watch the film. And I have to say, it's similar to the Amy Winehouse film. I didn't know anything about Bob Dylan before. After thehouse movie. I didn't know anything about Bob Dylan before. After the movie, I still didn't know anything about Bob Dylan. Plus, I was annoyed by Timothy Chalamet's nasal mumbling. Oh, we need a rose, it's flowing, oh, wow. I think he gave a little too much, Timothy Chalamet, but I'm also gifting it to him.
Starting point is 00:01:22 But of course, you knew a little more about Amy Winehouse than about Bob Dylan, I Amy Winehouse, I think. Yes, that's right. What I missed is that We Are The World wasn't the topic. Suddenly the movie stopped. I have to assume that there will be a part two and three. Only about We Are The World. I would welcome it, because that's a thing you can watch well
Starting point is 00:01:40 when you say, oh, today I've had too much of that. There was too much going on, now I want to do something where I don't live off of it, where it doesn't bother me. Then you can watch Bob Dylan and maybe, if things go well, you can sleep away a little. I have to say, I've never had a problem that a film was so long-lasting. I had to go to the bathroom, you know.
Starting point is 00:01:59 It's possible to get through it when you have to go to the bathroom, when the film is short-lived. But if it's long-lived, it becomes a problem. And we were in such a mess, we were in Horizon, which was 100 hours long. Even there it was somehow shorter than now with Timothy. I don't know, I hoped more. But you have to say something really great.
Starting point is 00:02:19 We were in cinema 9 this time, and I have to say, had an excellent seat selection. Last row, all the way in the corner, so that at least one person, I guarantee, has no neighbors. Yes, you always pay special attention to that when selecting a seat, always on the edge and possibly in the corner. Right. And this time we were very lucky that our seats were behind the stairs in the hall.
Starting point is 00:02:44 That means we had noppe in den Saal. Das heißt, wir hatten vor uns gar keinen Platz. Es war quasi so wie so eine Einzelreihe. Es waren gar keine Sitze vor uns, sondern nur quasi der Aufgang der Treppe, der war unter uns. Und vor uns war aber noch so eine Vorrichtung. Das sah aus wie diese Kisten, wo das Streusalz drin ist von der Stadt. Ja.
Starting point is 00:03:03 So sah das aus. Und da konnten wir problemlos unsere Sachen ablegen, unsere Jacken, unsere Taschen, unser Portemonnaie. It's all about the dust in the city. That's what it looked like. And we could easily put our stuff in there. Our jackets, our bags, our wallet. And I really liked that. Because I never know where to put the stuff. That's a problem in the cinema. Especially in winter, when you have the thick jackets. Where we went, there's no wardrobe.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Besides, I'm not a guy for the wardrobe. I have to admit, with 32 years of experience, I don guy for the wardrobe. I have to admit, I'm not one of those 32 undercantons. I don't like to take my stuff off. I take it with me, but in the cinema it's a problem. Where do you hang the jacket? You either throw it on the floor, if there's no space next to it, or you hang it over the back,
Starting point is 00:03:39 but the man behind you can still clean up his tracking shoes with the dog shit on it. It's always stupid. And the bottom is also like popcorn and nacho cheese in there. You don't want to put anything on it. That's why I decided, Chris, you have to know yourself, whether you're going with it or not, I'm only going to go to movies that are in cinemas.
Starting point is 00:03:59 No matter what's going on, I'm watching it. Peddington in Peru is the next movie I watch. Let's see if I can watch a horror movie. I can't watch horror movies, but if it's in Kino 9, I'm in. Because there I can take off my jacket. Yes, I'm in. So then just watch the films from Kino 9, from the Saal 9. That's what I'm into.
Starting point is 00:04:17 By now I have to say after Bob Dylan and Timmy Chalamet... You can only go up the hill. Yes, exactly. I didn't understand the film at all. I didn't know at all. He took an e-guitar and that just heated up the mood so much that you say, after two and a half hours it's enough with the film, now stop it.
Starting point is 00:04:34 That was really the highlight of the film, that an e-guitar was unpacked. And then I had to hit it right away. I drove to Munich in the ICE and an instrument was unpacked there, which nobody expected. The train was full, everything was booked out and I had to think about it again because I had a second seat. I didn't know what to expect, who I would sit next to, it's also a long way to Munich. I was already thinking about what would be served to me, who's being placed next to me. And I was so happy, something completely new happened.
Starting point is 00:05:07 A woman put her cello next to me on the spot and then disappeared into another department. She probably had a place reserved for the cello. The place next to me. So I sat there for four, five hours next to an absolutely silent cello. It didn't eat anything, it didn't grumble, it didn't make a phone call.
Starting point is 00:05:28 No fricadels. No fricadels, no eggs. It just sat there in E-Dur. It didn't ask after 2 hours which car it was. Exactly. And it didn't stink, didn't take off its shoes. It was the most pleasant ride ever. I just want to drive next to instruments.
Starting point is 00:05:47 And I think that's really, really, really great. I find it interesting that the person then left and left the cello alone. I would have become skeptical again. Is something being attached to it? Was it about customs? Was it about jewelry? It's a drug cello. A cello filled with cocaine.
Starting point is 00:06:02 But I have to say, I immediately got an introverted tendency. But I have to say, I got an introvertip in my head straight away, Chris. And I have to be honest, I kept on doing that. And that's why I want to ask the coach to put it in between, so I can quickly get an introvertip going. Very welcome. Introvertip My introvertip, which came to me on this journey with this cello, is I will buy an empty cello case. Introvert Tip sit sit and that's why I will buy an empty cello case and will only travel with it and will sit next to me and so I have forever the place next to me free and I can always drive next to my cello. Yes, but it's also for me a moral gray zone because you can't buy a ticket but the next place
Starting point is 00:06:57 reserve, nobody notices then it says Cologne to Munich is reserved. If then nobody sits there is of course a hot iron. If you don't really prove it, for example with cello, and my experience is when I used to travel around with a saxophone, an instrument case is treated differently by society than a conventional backpack or a suitcase.
Starting point is 00:07:18 If you put the suitcase or the backpack next to you on the spot, then you're asked if it's still free here. If it's an instrument, you're more afraid of it. And I think the cello is perfect, because cello is too big to store it somewhere up there, or in the luggage compartment in these stands, where people sit in it when there's total emergency in the train.
Starting point is 00:07:35 So perfect tip. It has to be cello. It can't be a violin case, it can't be an all-saxophone or trumpet, it has to be something bigger. Well, whoever wants to be safe on the sure, you can get a double bass. It's too big again. It wouldn't fit. You think so? It doesn't fit.
Starting point is 00:07:51 A double bass doesn't fit on the... Cello is perfect. Cello is the size of a grown-up. For me, Munich and Berlin are two cities that are being rented in my world. They're far away, but not so far away that I'd have a jet lag. At most from the mood. So if I have to go to Berlin or Munich, I would have a jet lag, at most from the mood. So if I have to go to Berlin or Munich, then I'm annoying. And we had last time asked the question, if a hare, if he now travels to the other end of the world,
Starting point is 00:08:14 flies with in hand luggage to Thailand and makes a nice time at Koh Samui, if he then has a jet lag. And now I talked to my father, who told me something about horses, and about racing horses. That's of course a huge business, right? Investments are made, a horse is expensive, they are brought to the race, and dress is worn, and all the terrible things are done with these horses. And they are mainly flown around the world.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Because they are of course murderous horses, you can't take anyone to, for example, in Aasen, to race. Just like Anna Maria Fershishi, who let her horses travel to Dubai. Yes, only that they travel from race to race. Mm. And that they also have jet lag.
Starting point is 00:08:53 I researched that. You can't say that they have a strange sleep rhythm. I didn't find that out. But that they need a certain time to get used to it, to wake up there, to get up, to get to the old strength. So I, to get up, to get back to the old ways. So I have to assume that racing horses like polo ponies or melatonin gummies and the Harvard mission.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Maybe also do electrolyte, like a cooking salt solution. Exactly, a racing horse does a sleeping meditation before the race, so that it gets a good sleep. Like a headspace. Yes, exactly. Or from Balloon or from other race in the evening before you sleep. From Headspace. Yes, exactly. Or from Balloon or other people on YouTube who switch to mega loud ads in between so that you wake up again and again.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Or Rolls-Royce and forget to cut it out. Yes, exactly. P horses have a problem with their sleeping rhythm. But I also think in a rooster. I am firmly convinced of that. I would actually like to try it now, even though I don't want to do it to anyone, to fly the rooster 12 hours into the economy. It would have to go into the first class by then.
Starting point is 00:09:52 I go into the economy and the rooster goes into the first class. But then there would be a distorted picture again, because it could sleep there. You know? So you have to make sure that it doesn't shudder, that it doesn't throw in such Vick-ss-intense, a melatonin-gummi-bear. Otherwise you have a problem.
Starting point is 00:10:08 It's so exhausting with the hair in the business class. But then you might have to put on a sleeping mask and the push-ups that are there and stuff. And with some influencers behind you on the Instagram story, but untagged. Then there are warm nuts from the microwave and the tap gets a warm washing cloth so he can wipe his face.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Couldn't you take a tap with you to the ICU and reserve a seat for him? Sure, whether he stays there is another question. And then the question is, peace or cell phone? What would you like to book with a tap? Cell phone, but he would have to show that he can play cello. So he would have to do that.
Starting point is 00:10:50 But was that a whole orchestra? I've survived that too, that I traveled in an orchestra. With an orchestra. I was part of the orchestra. The notes were discussed over my head. It was passed over my head from the last concert, the evening review. I was the second one, somewhere in the nothing, but still there. I saw that at the Munich Main Station
Starting point is 00:11:13 when we all got off. The person was part of an entire orchestra from Italy who all took the train. They all had their instruments. The train wasn't even half full. There were so many instruments with them. So probably the train wasn't even half full. There were just so many instruments on board. Yes, but do you find, so, reservation of seats, even though you didn't buy a ticket,
Starting point is 00:11:30 how do you find that? Of course I find it very bad, I've never done it myself. But you have to say that this ad is lost after a few minutes. That means, after that, of course, you are stopped. If someone asks, sorry, can I sit there. You have to clear the bag, of course. You can say, I reserved it here, but nobody's sitting there. You can do that. You can do that, but then you're also to blame.
Starting point is 00:11:52 You have to take your own responsibility when it comes to the division of society. I have a bubble update with me, crazy. I say, happy and frowning, I have a bubble update with me, it's time again. I'm really, really, really drunk again. Yes, I have to say, lately I've been finding myself more drunk behind the Retina display. Also in the ICE seat with a noise-canceling headphones.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Of course, always noise-canceling headphones. Yes, of course. And I have again, I had to, for this bubble update, I had to close a new streaming subscription from an offeror I didn't even know an offer I didn't even know about. I didn't even know the word. I didn't know it existed. But I downloaded it, it's 10 euros a month.
Starting point is 00:12:31 We all have to go through that. That's why I'm quickly finishing it off so I can quit quickly. You took it out of here so it's worth it. You said you had to quit jobs, I can't do it today. I have to get the maximum out of my subscription. The seven days of trial time already almost over. That's a mixed calculation, you know? On the one hand, the income through the job, on the other hand, the expenditure through the streaming provider.
Starting point is 00:12:53 That keeps the balance, then I say, it's worth taking a day off. Yes, and you haven't included the tax cuts yet. Colleagues, I heard from a year ago or so that they all turn off Netflix. For research reasons, some authors. Some authors, colleagues. I have to say, German finance department, take a look at that. Go after it, get the 17,90 euros or whatever it costs. Get them back.
Starting point is 00:13:15 You're a friend of mine. Just because I didn't do it. I'm going to do something else. Now the trainer is playing, because I really have to get rid of the leather. Bubble update. I'll put it this way. I've already said it's a series, a reality series. I discovered it in 2010, when it was first published.
Starting point is 00:13:43 It's 15 years old, and that's a real nugget. That means they're 15 years old. And that's a real nugget. Yeah, right up to the teeth of time. If you find something that's so old, but you've never seen before, and I know already, there are 18 seasons. I'll put it this way, I've been watching this for a week and a half,
Starting point is 00:13:58 I'm at season eight. Each season has about 12 episodes. Yes, but that's the best thing. 18 episodes, 24 episodes per season. Those are real shows, you know? You know, when we design a show somewhere, it's like, yeah, maybe we can do six episodes. And then, if it goes well, four years later, six more episodes, where one isn't shown,
Starting point is 00:14:19 because the pilot is too shitty. It won't be advertised, it'll be sent to the med. Nobody gets it. Yes! Well, back to my bubble update. It's called Sister Wives, and in German it's called All my women. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Yes, yes, that's exactly what you think. It's like you think. What do I think? Sister Wives? They're sisters who are married? No! It's very similar. It's about a... Okay, I have to explain it.
Starting point is 00:14:52 It's very important that I'm very precise here. It's about a polygamist family from Utah in the USA. So, we already know Utah. This is the main center of the Mormons in the USA. Most of the Mormons live there. And the Mormon main church has its church is in Salt Lake City. This family also comes close.
Starting point is 00:15:11 They were originally Mormons, the saints of the last days. Super church, with the best lawyers in the world. Super lawyers, you're super. Thumbs up. They were originally, sometimes, sometimes not, and then but they drifted off, I would say, they slipped off to the fundamentalists. Now the people from your series. Exactly, the people from my series, I'll explain that right away, have now decided to live polygamous, because there is a sect,
Starting point is 00:15:43 an exhibition of the Mormon Church, which say in the Bible there are several prophets, apostles, who have several wives, that means it is God's will that we do that too. There are people who do that and they want to live it that way. So, bumping around on a Bible basis. Exactly, bumping around on a Bible basis. And I have to say, in advance, there was already a big scandal, some people got married with children.
Starting point is 00:16:06 No. Warren Jeffs or something, a very nasty guy in prison, he used it, and so on. Some people live behind walls, in the hidden. So really, be careful. Structures that are abused. Right, right. Abuse structures. And there this family is settled, but they do it differently.
Starting point is 00:16:24 And I think they don't stick to their own rules, which I find hilarious. They have these in the 90s, James Hetfield. James Hetfield. With half-long neck hairs, a bit of a back-to-back look. Yes, and season one starts with him having three wives. For 20 years, so over the period of 20 years, he has married three wives. Married with all of them? Yes. And they are all full-time, and have always been full-time,
Starting point is 00:17:00 not born, but at the time they got married. They are all about as same age as him. So it's not a huge coincidence in that sense. But then a fourth woman comes along, and then they get married, and then they're kind of like that too. So then four women, they all live in a house with several apartments that were built for this polygamist family. They have 16 children at this time in total.
Starting point is 00:17:22 And if I had this whole religious aspect and this sectarianism and this one man has several wives, but not the other way around, if I look at it, I think they have an absolutely awesome lifestyle. And I tell you why, the women... I have to point out now, the women all work, they have their own money,
Starting point is 00:17:44 they are independent. That's the first point. They are surprisingly independent. I didn't expect that. But the great thing is that they can always take care of their children. They have free babysitters. There's always someone at home, they just send their kids over.
Starting point is 00:18:00 So you mean they don't have a wrong image in their head, they have some kind of Amish family have a completely different trend, of course. But not that they're just sitting at home like Tread Wife. No, no, no. They have jobs. They're sometimes a saleswoman and you haven't seen that. One of them works in a youth camp and stuff like that. Where you sometimes think, why are you doing this?
Starting point is 00:18:18 You're stupid, you're a smart woman, why are you doing this? But then you keep checking that they sometimes really enjoy it, that they only see their only once a week? Because the man goes from woman to woman to woman for one night and is only one and a half nights a week with one woman. Of course there are cases where the man has several women and the woman has only one man. But you could also say that women have to bow and be married
Starting point is 00:18:44 under the social pressure of Christianity. But you only see the guy once a week. Does he have a fixed plan? Yes, he has a fixed plan. And that's one of the funniest things in this repertoire I'm in. That within the first season, they went to the public with their reality show. In the process of a promo appointment, they went to an American TV morning show.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Like Good Morning America or whatever. They sat there at five and were super happy and said, yes, we are polygamists and so on. What they didn't expect was that in the state of Utah, where they lived at that time, it was illegal to be a polygamist in the state of Utah, which means they have publicly known themselves to be illegal. And from that date in this talk show, the police will pay attention to them and start investigations.
Starting point is 00:19:36 So you're not allowed to marry multiple people, that's what it means. Yes, exactly. I don't know exactly what the legal reasons are, but it's definitely forbidden and they're being accused. They're beating around the bush with all the ways you want, but not getting married. Right. And then they realize that the police are starting to investigate. And normally, what happens is that someone is being convicted, the man can go to jail, the family is being torn apart. That's their biggest fear. So they decide from today to tomorrow,
Starting point is 00:20:01 we all move to Las Vegas. Then they pack their suitcases and then they move from today to tomorrow, we'll all move to Las Vegas. Then you pack your suitcases, and then you move from today to tomorrow, you tear off your tents and move to Las Vegas. Because it's allowed in Las Vegas. Yes, it's not a problem in Las Vegas. But of course you won't find a house there that's enough for all members,
Starting point is 00:20:18 because there are no polygamist houses like Utah. And Las Vegas is known as the most innocent city in the world. There are no gambling, no nightlife, no alcohol, no drugs. It's a dull city, just like it is in the Bible. Well, they're definitely looking for real estate. And because they can't find a house where they can all live, they have to buy four houses. So they buy four houses in a residential area,
Starting point is 00:20:41 and they're all in the area of, let's say, one kilometer. They're not right next to each other, which is a huge problem. Before they were all under one roof, now they're two or three streets away. They're all under one roof? They're all! But that's the absolute hell.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Absolute hell. Absolute hell, yes. I wish the police would investigate. If I had grown up there, that's not my thing. And the funniest thing is this guy. A yoke looks a bit like a magician. A typical Las Vegas magician. A windy guy.
Starting point is 00:21:12 He's a display seller. He has a real better console job. You know he's so windy. He's not a cosher. You know that right away. And because his wife and kids live in different streets and houses, he always drives from one house to another with his white convertible. After an hour plan.
Starting point is 00:21:30 With a convertible. He has a white convertible and then he drives from street to street every day to another woman, always with his backpack. He lives out of the backpack because he sleeps every night in another house. But they're no longer part of the momon community because they live this lifestyle. That's not to be expected. And I have to say, with the white cabriolet,
Starting point is 00:21:49 I'm having fun too. I'm on the side of the momon with the super lawyers worldwide. Great people. You have to say that the momon despise what they do. They say that they despise polygamy, they want to distance themselves from it. For them, it's wild. They're wild, violent. They're cult polygamous, right?
Starting point is 00:22:06 Cult Mormons. Yes, but I don't think they really know which rules they have to stick to. They say that we're not allowed to drink alcohol, in the next shot they sit in the Irish pub and drink beer, then they suddenly sell their jewelry in the casino. They're definitely morally open,
Starting point is 00:22:23 more open than the Mormons from the main church. It's the funniest thing, but I didn't hold it back. I started in 2010. I wanted to know how it developed. In season one he marries the fourth wife. In my head I thought, there are 17 seasons left. Will he marry 17 other women? No, I found out it was the last woman.
Starting point is 00:22:44 It stays with these four women. But I had to spoil myself, I just wanted to know what it looks like today, are they still together, where do they live, what happened to the children, what are they doing now? And then I spoiled myself and Chris, I couldn't laugh anymore, I couldn't. Three out of four women have become famous,
Starting point is 00:23:02 live monogamous, with other men, they are already married again. But do they have a capri and the men? I don't know. But I think that's the funniest thing. And the funniest thing is, the last woman, the woman who came last, it was always his favorite woman,
Starting point is 00:23:14 it was the hot one, you know, now the hot one comes along and everyone was so jealous, because, oh, her name is Robin, and it was the hot one, and that was his, ah, everyone saw it, his favorite woman, the only one he kissed and thought was hot. And that's the one who's still marrying him in the end,
Starting point is 00:23:30 the only one. And she's pissed off, because she wanted a polygamy family. She wanted sister wives. And now three of four of them got divorced. Now she has to depend on the guy alone. She doesn't want to. But she can't let them get divorced, because she's very, very religious. And she says, I can't let it happen.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Now she's hanging out with this winded sorcerer in the cabrio. Although she doesn't feel like living with him alone. And I think that's just hilarious. I love that. And that's a reality show, something like Kardashians, but with several wives, basically wives and a white cabrio. And Robert Gaius has the Indigo star. And they have a series of
Starting point is 00:24:24 It would be interesting to know, maybe with your own production company, maybe with your own yacht that's diving around the Mediterranean Sea. How did that stand? I thought so too, and I have to say, they failed in that. They didn't manage to convince even one child of their life goal. But I'm only in season 8, and so much is going to happen. And I'm already happy when the first divorcees are in the house. And I think it's going to be really, really, really bad. You have to say, it's expensive, too.
Starting point is 00:24:47 The divorce is a lot for the man. Yes, yes. There are great lawyers out there. He probably has to take them in. Yes, it's only with one woman before the law. You can only do that. The others have only had a spiritual wedding. It's a gray zone that's the cello is on the neighbor.
Starting point is 00:25:07 That's not quite... It's not really registered either. You don't know if it's real or not. How is it going? The cello is on the way, my sister wife. Yes, exactly. But of course there are great circles that live according to rules. But during the game it's also game, as I understand it.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Not all rules are clear. So someone says, no, we're playing Uno differently, not with this card, with the reverse card. That's not possible here. And then it gets complicated, but it also causes a lot of fuss. That's nice. I only recommend it to people who are extremely bored.
Starting point is 00:25:44 And as far as I know you, you consider it critical. Of course. That's nice. I just want to recommend it to people who are extremely bored right now. And as far as I know you're pretty critical about it. Of course. And I also have a critical point of view. When it comes to media, I have a little tip. My bubble update actually. And that is a devil's fluteist. A man who plays the...
Starting point is 00:26:00 ...spongebob? Do you know the word? No. ...flute. And then plays the biggest classics of rock and metal history. The account is called on Instagram, philipflut2368. Philipp with two L. Philipp Flut. English flute.
Starting point is 00:26:15 A famous name. 2368. Philipp Flut 2368. And it's, so I have to say, he doesn't play according to the rules. He lets go emotionally. He can let go. He plays these things surprisingly well. It's relatively virtuoso if you play final count on a guitar solo on the block flute.
Starting point is 00:26:34 To get that, it takes a lot of work. But what I like about his performance, he lets himself be guided by his emotions. He's always blown into the fourth octave, accidentally, something unclean played that's not clean. But this is about emotion. And I like that. Philipp Flute 2-3-6-8 is my bubble update.
Starting point is 00:26:53 The flute is actually like the cabrio under the instruments, right? The white cabrio. Right, in a well-kept house. And I watched something else, a documentary. Small recommendation. Do you know the Hasky? Hochschule St. Gallen? HSG? For HSG?
Starting point is 00:27:08 No, an elite university. At least they are being staged as an elite business university in Switzerland. Yes, I heard about that. Where the whole world comes together and the CEOs are being trained from tomorrow. The Christian Lindner Academy. Right. These are people who were initially sad that the FDP did not make it to the Bundestag.
Starting point is 00:27:26 They might be over-thinking their lives, their career path might be directly related to private economy and not politics. And this is a documentary called The Driven Ones. It's available in the AED Media Library. I think it's also available on Swiss television, because it's a Swiss documentary. But also with German protagonists.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Partly the Swiss German is then synchro-dubbed, which annoyed me a bit, because I tried to listen in between, between the break of the synchro-speakers, what they said in Swiss German. In any case, the graduates are accompanied for five years. Last year, I think, the university and what happened after that. And it left me with a mixture of emptiness and anger.
Starting point is 00:28:06 So it's perfect for a Sunday evening where you say, Monday is already ahead. I already have a basic aggression, a basic depression in me. I would like to get myself on the right track again. Then I watch this one and a half hour documentary. Oh, I love something like that. I think he even won prizes. So really good.
Starting point is 00:28:23 And my favorite scene is actually where the one protagonist says to her friend, yes, my guy, my friend, I'll call him Daniel, with whom she is together, whom she met at university. Daniel has now decided that he doesn't want to work in Munich. He just took a job in Zurich, that's why I have to work in Zurich now. And then two years later she says, yes, Daniel just took a job in London or Milan, and he's gone now, we're separated.
Starting point is 00:28:48 Cool Daniel. Yes, cool. But can I really recommend it? It's interesting. I love such docu's. It's a bit like Sister Wives, but with Boni. Sister Wives, but with Hedgefonds. Everyone has four different Hedgefonds
Starting point is 00:29:03 and drives with a convertible from one to the other. These are the late 20s, which then almost all, except for a few, they will also, sometimes they have startups, but some of them will become business advisors and they go there as 27, 28-year-olds, go to the places, shorten and let go of 50-year-olds. Cool.
Starting point is 00:29:22 That's a cool, pleasant thing for a Sunday evening in the ARD Media Team. I think we have pure gold in our pockets today, right? Yes. Where are Sister Wives now? Can you... Yes, watch out! I just forgot again, it's Discovery, right? No, it's Discovery.
Starting point is 00:29:41 I think it's Discovery. Maybe throw a VPN. I think Discovery is somehow connected to Amazon or something. An intermediate channel is connected to it. I came across it by accident. And suddenly I had turned off the subscription. But then I couldn't stop watching. I mean, I'm doing it now, but I'm really trying to get up to the record speed now,
Starting point is 00:29:58 until season 18, so that I can quit as soon as possible. Because then of course only shit runs. Let's do it. I have to say, it's not really about enjoyment, but rather about control. I'm the driven one now. I really have to make it through this. But Chris, there's something nice too. Something nice for the heart. What's it called?
Starting point is 00:30:17 Yes, that's all very cynical what we're doing here. No! So now something for the heart, Chris. We have this great section, and it's called Drinsider. And we can now get our community involved again. We have a Drinsider question again. Not just one, what does that mean? We have selected one from the crowd of questions that are sent to us here at InfoAtdrainings.de.
Starting point is 00:30:39 I have selected something again, a good question that was asked by Julia. And that's why I want to ask the coach to play a game. Here comes a drinzeiler. Drinzeiler. Sharply requested. Julia wrote to us. Dear Julia, dear Chris, A few years ago I made a big mistake.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Or rather three. I became a mother again. This alone is not the problem. I love my children and they are great. But as you can imagine, it is a challenge for a drini to have children. This is not necessarily due to the children themselves, but rather to the environment and to people with foreign contacts. My special problem is now that I unfortunately have three very sporty children. They do various sports that make me feel uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Especially on the weekend, when I should be on the run, I am always ordered to different sports halls or places to watch my children perform their sports. My husband and I share the advice, because I often skip the games and competitions in time. So I can't escape this maternal duty, especially since I basically like to watch my children. Problematic for me as a drini are the other parents around me, who usually show up in a weird way
Starting point is 00:31:58 and want to involve me in conversations again and again. Unfortunately, so-called counter services are added in regular intervals. Here it is expected that the parents will bring a self-baked cake and sell it during the game. There I stand in a tight space with foreign parents and a flight from unpleasant small talk seems impossible to me. My problem will not be resolved in the next few years. Until the children are out of the house, I still have to go through many counter services. I would be very grateful if you could give me some helpful advice on how I can survive the weekend sports activities with forced parent-teachings. Your Julia, please!
Starting point is 00:32:31 So, yeah, the problem is baking cakes. Not really the problem, but selling cakes and smalltalking, while playing handball, football, volleyball or table tennis. I think that really the problem, but selling cakes and smalltalking, while handball, soccer, volleyball or table tennis is played. And then you're in a hardware store, a multi-purpose hall, and you have to smalltalk with the other parents. I can imagine that's exhausting,
Starting point is 00:32:58 because you probably hardly have anything to do with them or want to do with them. Right. They're not the sister wives. Not everyone wants to live this lifestyle with four women and 16 children. Julia is missing the white cabriolet she can drive away with. Right. But that's really an interesting question. And I think that's how it works for many Trini's parents.
Starting point is 00:33:19 And it's not about them not wanting to see their children with anything, but the problem is really just the other parents who are more contact-friendly than you. They don't understand that there are also Trini's parents who don't like to do small talk. Yes, but I think the only way is to forbid children from sports. You are only allowed to play Fortnite,
Starting point is 00:33:39 you are only allowed to play Minecraft. There are no day services at Fortnite, there are no other parents. You can bake the Minecraft. There are no day services at Fortnite. There are no other parents. You can bake the muffins at Minecraft. They're square, but it doesn't matter. Yeah, do it like that. We all have fun with it. We don't have to drive that far.
Starting point is 00:33:54 We'll be home at 3 p.m. because we've never been away. The children have to suffer in your world that the parents don't want to talk. That's a very human-friendly and child-friendly approach. In your world, the children have to suffer that the parents don't want to entertain themselves. That's a very human-friendly or child-friendly approach. You could just start baking the most disgusting cake the world has ever seen. So that you're not invited anymore,
Starting point is 00:34:15 because the cake is never really done. Then all the toilets are occupied. I was just saying, you make sure that everyone has to go to the toilet. Then you suddenly have peace of mind. You take the one muffin that is not contaminated and suddenly everyone to go to the bathroom. Then you suddenly have peace of mind. You take the one muffin that's not contaminated and suddenly everyone rushes to the bathroom and says, oops, it's so quiet here. Nobody's here anymore.
Starting point is 00:34:32 But that's actually already a physical injury. You shouldn't do that. I think you just have to say, have breakfast on the weekend and then watch that you eat cake all the time, because you say you don't talk with a full mouth. So always have nice muffins in your hand, always have a piece of marble cake in your hand,
Starting point is 00:34:49 the nice banana bread still warm in your hand, that you can always bite, if you notice, now the next question arises, and how is the weather with you already? But then you always have to pay, then one euro per piece, two euros. Yes, then you just have to invest. Then it costs good and spend 50 euros a weekend.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Then it's like that. So you do the biggest turnover of the cake with yourself. Yes. Yes, I understand. Can you still be so handy? You could also say, like I did in civil protection, in the THW of Switzerland,
Starting point is 00:35:20 which I was obliged to, as someone who couldn't go into the military, you have to work busy. So that you're not being addressed. I've tried that in civil protection. Going back and forth, carrying something back and forth. Maybe look, maybe you can find from the house master in the device shop,
Starting point is 00:35:36 somewhere in the broom. There you can wipe, wipe through, at the back of the car, at the medicine balls, where hardly anyone goes, wipe through, just work busy. And leave the cake shop to the others. Because honestly, so much won't be enough for six people to get ready.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Or also on the subject of looking busy. You could just touch something fresh on the spot. So say, I'm now, I brought something, I couldn't prepare that, so I have to do it on the spot. For example, I have to stir in a waffle dough. Here I have my cooled eggs. I have to do that in the back in the sports kitchen, where it's a little colder, because the eggs get worse.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Then I have to stir in the dough in peace. Yes, I love that in the evenings, when you go to the 30s, it's more and more the case where someone says, come to me, I'll cook something. Come over again. Then I have the feeling I have to go there. It's been two years again, I'll go there. By the way, the Tobias and Diana are coming too.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Then the Tobias and Diana come, but the couple who invited me is in the kitchen the whole time because something has to be stirred. Then I I have to talk to Tobias and Jana for two and a half hours until the red beets are done in gnocchi, even though I don't want to talk. It's actually a cake shop without me doing anything. So you should always stir up something fresh.
Starting point is 00:36:58 So at the perfect dinner, that would cost you a lot of points, right? To stand in the kitchen for hours and wait for the guests. Absolute no-go. But at sports events for children, other rules apply. Yes, you could also say, I'm just commenting on the game now. Here this handball game between SV Tusslingen and MSV Hüttelhoven. That's where it really gets down to business.
Starting point is 00:37:20 I comment on that like Belarethi. I'm completely all in. With a huge headset on, all of a sudden. Exactly. You could also say, I'm streaming this for the people at home, for the parents who can't come. Yes, without understanding the other parents, that the children are being shown. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:37:35 You just do a YouTube livestream or TikTok, you just go live, comment on it, get involved. At least you don't have to do smalltalking. It's exhausting. Or what I just thought, that's a lot of work. You don't have to do small talk, it's exhausting. Or what I was thinking, it's a new trend now,
Starting point is 00:37:50 the trend is to breathe through the nose, it's much healthier for the psyche and body. You live longer and you didn't see it. Breathing is incredibly important. And that's the trend of mouth taping. Exactly, society has rediscovered breathing for itself. Breathing through the nose has discovered society for itself. And people sometimes stick their mouth shut at night
Starting point is 00:38:08 so they can breathe through their nose. That might be an option, that you start mouth taping during the day. That you come to the game and say, sorry, I'm practicing breathing through my nose, I have to stick my mouth shut. If I take myself as an example, if I say I'm a flat earther,
Starting point is 00:38:26 someone who believes in conspiracy theories that the earth is flat, nobody would ask me about it. Because you'd say, oh, that's difficult. That's difficult, we don't want to talk about it. If I were to say I'm a mouth taper, because I promise myself to have a health advantage,
Starting point is 00:38:42 then you wouldn't be talking to me about it. You'd take it that way. You wouldn't be talking about it in general. You'd just take it. You have to get to the point in this society where people just take something, a kind of thing. And maybe it's just Julia's own way of sticking her mouth to it. She's a mouth-taper, she believes she has a breath only through her nose so she gets 157 years old. Right.
Starting point is 00:39:04 I think that I had this genius idea, I have to say it again, that's just genius. And I just want to say, you're going to be a mouth taper from now on and that's going to be your excuse. So I have to say, from this episode I'm taking three things with me. I've learned three things, which is a lot. First, buy cello case. Second, put tank tape on your mouth and if you want to go to a woman's place, buy cello cases. Second, put tank tape on your mouth
Starting point is 00:39:25 and turn it around when you want to buy white cabaro. I see. What are the three things I'm going with? And if you do all three at the same time, your universe explodes. I feel like playing the recorder again. I've played the recorder before. Did you have to do that too? Yes, and I couldn't do it because I couldn't read notes. But I managed to say it too late that I can can't read a note, but only do it.
Starting point is 00:39:46 And then I just looked at what the others were playing while performing with the recorder, but didn't really blow it in. I always had no breath, I played totally quietly. And with me in the recorder course, we were like three, Vanessa was there and Lukas, and Lukas always had... Lukas. Lukas, Lukros, he just always...
Starting point is 00:40:05 He blows it off the and teaches blog flutes there. Business blog flutes. The best blog flutes CEO. Yes, super man. Then I would say, we have also clarified that again. Julia is happy, we are happy. I now have ten seasons left, I'm looking forward to it, so I have to get going now, Chris. I find it really important, essential for society, that we give such suggestions suggestions as a bubble update.
Starting point is 00:40:45 You spend time alone, and you can think about it. You can look at it and look at the lives of others. What's more beautiful than not taking part in others' lives but seeing how they live? It's like looking into the houses in Holland just because they don't have curtains. I have to look at this OnlyFans apartment. I've seen it and I've seen check out this OnlyFans apartment.
Starting point is 00:41:05 I watched it and I saw it when I let the roll down. I didn't look any longer, because the light was very bright. Which I know from Dres. Yes, I understand. The apartment was very well lit. Either we have to leave GV or the apartment will just be painted. And this apartment has been painted for four months. And always at 2 o'clock at night.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Well, then I would say, next week we'll be back. Maybe we'll have new tips and tricks in our pockets. Who knows? I have ten more seasons to go. Who knows in which psychological condition I'll be next week? Everything is possible. I'll just say that. I'm excited. I'm looking forward to the next episode on Dreenie Tuesday.
