Advertising. This podcast is financed by advertising. Today we introduce you to Finance Guru. This is your digital household book, with which you can easily keep an overview of your finances. I'll put it this way, finance has never been a topic I'm burning for. I usually noticed first that there was no money left when the card didn't work anymore or when I got letters from cashier companies who asked me to pay a 15 euro bill right now, plus 480 euro fees. But I got better and now I have the Finance Guru app

and all my accounts are linked and I can see how much money I have and which expenses I have. That's a huge relief. You can link all your accounts in the app, no matter whether it's a bank account, credit card, deposit or cryptocurrency. And with the new verification function you can now send money even easier and safer. With additional protection through the fake shop radar, the deceiving e-Banz recognizes. Finance guru has over 3 million

satisfied users. I think the number speaks for itself and maybe it's something for you too. The app is constantly free of charge. In addition, with Finance Guru Plus you can get access to a lot of powerful functions for 2.99 euros per month.

I hope, we hope you're doing well. And if not, it's okay, Julia. You're there too. Hello, hello, long time no see. I think I would just, you're doing well. And if not, it's okay, Julia. You're there too. Hello, hello. Long time no see. I think I would just play that every time now. Please, yes. It's just right to get in. It's heiter. I'm happy, my heart is happy.

I'm in a good mood when this sounds. Yes, and I have the impression that you can already hear when Florian Silbereisen sings that he has so much mega-gay fun all the time. Yes, he grins while singing. I think you can hear that. He grins like a honey cake while he sings this song in his own pub's smell in the sound booth on 2x2 m2. He has a hell of a lot of fun. How can you have so much fun like Florian Simmerisen?

That's real work ethic. Where you say, I'm in a good mood at work and I want to annoy others with it. I think that's honorable. I think he also has really, really good moods work and I want to get others to join. I think that's honorable. I think he's also in a really, really good mood when he meets his tax advisor and makes a tax pre-order for 100,000 liras of advance. He has to pay off all the candles. Florin, I know a candle like that costs 10 cents,

but think about it, 100,000 of it. Those are advertising costs. That's not an issue. You can put them all down. Mr. Silbereisen, I see in your documents that you have 100,000 candles at advertising issues. Could you explain that to me? Yes, the Advent Festival of the 100,000 lights, that's very clear. He buys them from his own pocket so he can put them down, right? The question is also where he buys 100,000 lights.

Temu, maybe? He buys them really cheap, but then he puts the quality product from the Black Forest. I was in my candle factory store, that sounds good at first, but then it was really factory candles. There were actually Rolinge. Rolinge with a dot in it. It didn't look particularly good, where I said that they were selling a lot of stuff here. And I went home with empty pockets. I have to say, candles are a topic. With a little practice, and practice is what I mean, a short YouTube tutorial, anyone can do that.

That's my thesis that I'm setting up. I'd like to be convinced of the opposite, can also make candles and t-shirts at home. Completely wrong. I can repeat that. We were forced to make candles at elementary school. We had to stand in hot pots every year. I burned my poops every year. And every year I made a new brown ugly candle, because I took every color.

It just looked like shit in the end. So I'm the living example that not everyone can do it. Well, you're out. We've already talked about me being a big fan of dead or believed-to-be concepts, the use of German language, to put it back on the map. I'm glad it ended like that.

And I already said, Heißen Dank is from the Ausstern bedrohung. I put it back on the map. It's already used in the countryside. I just picked it up at the supermarket. Someone is listening in there. It's being used again. I'm glad.

I even heard it at Schiakou. He has put Heißen Dank into the new single. Yes?aku, he's in a new single, he's written a song called Heißen Dank. Yes? No, that's not true. He was a liar, and he's already lied to us. Thank you, Chris. It's like a ugly candle you're making. Like a brown candle.

Now stop it. But now something else. I have a term that appears too rarely in my language. And I want to put it back on the map. And it's the term under distant leaves. That's what it is. You know what?

The term under distant leaves is a bit under distant leaves. I've never heard of it. What is it? A speech or a way of speaking? The generation of my parents has said that. But I don't see anyone from the Gen Z saying that nowadays. What does that mean?

That means that something is running a little under the radar. That's not the talk of the town. It's not that important. I can also explain where that comes from. And Fernand Diefen comes from horse racing, I think from England. And then there were always only the horses that ran super fast. They were then on the top list, were named after them. And then there were the slow horses, they were not worth mentioning.

They were not named after them, but were simply written over it. Under Farner Liefen. Also, Liefen also... They also received a participation certificate. Exactly, participation certificate. And I want to put that back on the map, Chris. I want us to say that again. It's going under Far-leafs.

So you could say, bad mood, sadness are feelings that are more likely to be found in Florian Silbereisen under far-leafs. Right, that's exactly how it is. That happens, but it's not the speech world. But honestly, I would also be in a good mood if I could put 100,000 candles out. I would also be happy if I could put 100,000 candles down. So, do you also help me to catapult the language into the German language? It's a challenge, I don't think it's easy. It's not easy. It was much easier in the past.

Yes, I want to get something out of it. It should be a bit challenging. There are also types of speech that are too right. I might be too complicated. But I'll give my best. I'll try, Julia. I'm just a fan of complicated speeches. Yes, and I want to raise the mood to the maximum, that you've never seen or experienced before. I have it in the week.

And that's first of all, it seems very obvious. And that is self-sufficient restaurants. Because often you have to sit down, in the worst case you get a table assigned, if it's a little finer, that's a must anyway. You have to sit down, you have to have the card, then you can already bring them something to drink. And then thousands of questions like that, and I don't like that.

Red flag when the restaurant has tables that are assigned to you. I find myself in the back of the restaurant and not just in front of the window where everyone can see me. I'm assigned there, where I think to myself, yes, I'm happy, I have my peace in the back. On the other side, why do they have to bother to assign me to all these free tables at the window? What's going on there?

Another question, self-sufficiency restaurants, where you have all this thing of what do you want to drink, what do you want to drink, what do you want to eat, but the warm kitchen is only open from 11.30, etc. Where you can just say, I'd like a coke and a flambé here. And then you pay your 22 euros, you sit down at the table and it's served.

So you mean you go to a restaurant and order your food there and then take it straight to the table? Yes, even better is when you can eat it yourself. So, what I mean by that... Also called buffet. Yes, exactly. There is then weighed with plates, where I never know how the system is.

I am sometimes a bit overwhelmed, because I never know if the plates are weighed or after plate size. And of course you have to be careful. That's a huge difference. After plate size, people, there can actually be nothing wrong with that. Then get up. But when it is weighed, you have to be careful. That's a huge difference. After plate size, people, there can't be anything wrong, then get up.

But when it's weighed, you have to be careful. For example, potato salad has a completely different density than a head salad. You have to be careful that you don't overestimate yourself. A plate has a lot of space, a potato salad. That will then be, under the circumstances, sometimes it goes against 800, 900 grams. Then it gets be expensive.

Now I was in a self-service ice cream store. What? Yes, I thought, is that something? I saw other ice cream stores next to it. With service, you have to sit down, then a card. Then it takes 20 minutes until you have the ice cream cup. Yes, it's a lot of work. Sunshine.

So I decided to go to the self-serve ice cream stores. There's an ice cream buffet. Let me guess, there wasn't that much going on? There wasn't that much going on. Because I also think that a lot of people have hygiene problems on their screens. I have my problems with salad bars and I also have problems with self-serve ice creams. But I only found out after that. Because the hygiene problems have been proven.

I put together an ice cream, which is also a difficulty in the ice cream store. At Dresden, you come, there are 32 types of ice cream. There is not only nut ice cream, but there are hazelnuts, there is macadamia, there is pistachio, there are three different nuts, there is still almond, there are so many nut ice creams, how should I ever be able to order anything there?

So self-service, I have time, I can spare some time. But I have to say, unfortunately, after that I had to look for the little place. And that was for a longer time. I don't want to go into more detail. I had a Froyo incident in Berlin anyway. Froyo, back then, what was it, 2008? You mean frozen yogurt? Yes, I was just about to explain, the cool kids say Froyo. 8? Frozen yogurt, you mean?

Yes, I was just about to explain. The cool kids say frojo. I think it was in 2005 or something, when it swam over to Germany. In 2008 I had a frojo incident in Berlin because I didn't know about lactose intolerance. I thought frozen yogurt would be better for me than ice cream. It turned out to be about 800,000 times worse. I won't go into the details, but I was once in a self-sufficient frozen yogurt ice cream

and then never again. And I don't want to disturb business processes. Out of the Weekend is a feeling that I experienced yesterday. I'm in the car on the road and I notice this nervousness that spreads when I have to drive in there. Then there's a super well-trained man with the brause in his hand, where he sprays the car a little bit in the front. And then he does it very loosely.

With one hand he sprays in, with the other he does... He doesn't even look. He winks at you and you have to drive up right. And that's always panic, because I think every time, I'm going to change the brake. You can't brake, you have to go to N. But to change to automatic, I have to brake. Then I brake and I'm too far ahead. And then I always think, this well-trained man has to throw the Brause on the ground,

to the big red stop button, and then he presses it, alarm, siren, everyone out, evacuate. Because this guy here didn't finish it. I have to say, for this pressure, I didn't work for it as a human being. For this business, I just didn't do it for it. That really brings me to the limit. For me, that's 7 vs. Wild in the wash street.

I don't have to experience more in my everyday life to experience the thrill. Horror. And I say, Christoph, you don't believe how attentive and careful I am when I drive out of fear that I have to drive to a workshop. I'm really afraid that I have to drive into the workshop hall and then have to drive on such a lift. Over a ramp, you know, where there are only two areas for the wheels that you have to hit exactly. And I'm so afraid of this scenario. I don't even know if this is even possible. Probably you just have to park the car in front of the workshop.

But in my head it's like this. I have to drive in there, on this lift. I drive on it like this. While I'm driving up, I'm suddenly crooked. And then the whole car falls over. On the side. And then I lie there and 8 Kfz-mechatronics who look super cool.

All in tank top. And then I'm like, oh, I'm going to die. And then I'm like, oh, I lie there and eight Kfz-mechatronics who look super cool, all in tank top, with Red Bull in their hands, are so ambitious, they laugh half dead before they get out of the car and then my pants have slipped down and it's all ultra embarrassing. And I was so scared of that, and that's why I never want to build an accident. I've been driving cars for two and a half years now, and for two and a half years I haven't

had a single scratch on the car, for this reason. And if you walk around in Cologne sometimes, you suddenly see cars that look abandoned. Sometimes they also have a flat, are already mossy, partly, with leaves. Like a biotope? And these are the cars you left behind in the two and a half years, where you said, man, that doesn't work anymore, I'll just leave it there, I'll buy a new one. Just don't go to the workshop. Yes, as soon as I build an accident, I'll buy a new car, it's not working anymore, I'm going to buy a new one. So, just don't go to the workshop. Yeah, as soon as I build an accident, I buy a new car.

That's the way it is. But I would also like to recommend a series today, Chris. I sometimes recommend something, but not often, but from time to time. I saw a series, Chris, that pulled out the push. And you watched the first two episodes. Yes. But I pulled through until the end. Yes.

And I really have to say, I'm actually the scarecrow in front of the Lord. I can't watch anything from 16. I only watch things from 12. Because I'm 34, that's not possible. I can't watch anything from 16. So, this series is a crime series, and it's very exciting. And it's from Sweden. And it's on Netflix.

I saw it on Netflix by chance, it's called The Glass Couple. I would recommend the series at most. Yes, I was too excited after two episodes or. I would recommend the show at the very least. Yes, I got too excited after two episodes or so, or in the middle of the second episode, I was too excited. I have to say. There were flashbacks in there where I said, guys, I'm going to the next room, I'm playing a bit of Minesweeper. Yes, but you know, I'm really scared,

but I think if I watch a crime, it has to be really, really hardcore. And what I think is what the people in Scandinavia just do right is they go all the way to the 12. They don't back down. In Germany you would never get certain things through on TV, you can't do that. You can't show how violence is used on a child. In Scandinavia, the shit gets on it.

The child is strangled, they are held up, you see everything. Blood, blood clots, the head being knocked off, it's shown in the close-up. They don't have a stop. And I think that's right. It has to be dark, it has to pull me into the band, it has to be a little scary.

Did you tell me or someone else that you have a concept, a plot in there that a child hides in the laundry drum from the washing machine. And then the TV station said, we can't do that, otherwise all the children will do it at home. No, I didn't tell you that. In a comedy concept, where I think,

yes, good, but in Scandinavia, the children are actually fighting each other. Yes, of course. In comedy, I've had the experience that you always have to hire young people because the young people on the TV side aren't allowed to be with other people, for example older people.

That's why you have to hire young people. And that's what the people in Scandinavian crime movies do. I think they have a lot of child violence in there so that the kids like to watch it and say, I can identify with that. If these two teenagers hit their heads, that's my world. You have to get the viewers where they are.

Yes, so more children with guns, please. That's the thing, too. I think Harald Schmidt once said, if you switch on the AD 20 minutes before the Tartot final, and a child had the gun on his head from a person who took the child in custody. You can always assume that the child survives. Yes, definitely.

That's the rule of thumb. And that's different in these Scandinavian crime films, right? Yes, in Scandinavia there is a child. And that is said in a way that is simply so. That's the reality.'s just like that. And I love this show. I think in the last episode I was standing in front of the TV. It was like WM 2006 for me.

A summer fairy tale. I was standing in front of the TV with my arms shaking and couldn't do it anymore. And I thought it was really well done. And I don't want to spoil it, so I say all people who can bear some tension. Who can also bear some violence against children in a crime, fictional, I want to emphasize. And I want to say that. And not exactly, and not morally. That's the thing. Not like, now we're setting it up and attention, now it's going to be completely wrong.

You can't do that. But just as a thrill and a reason for dramaturgy, a child is being built in. Right. And all people who can deal with it, who have no problem with it, and I want to emphasize that this is a fictional series, it's not true crime, I want to put this series to heart. And I noticed, when you're in Scandinavia with the police or anywhere else, and you're visiting an old home, you're visiting an old father, it can actually happen that you're there by the regional, by the district police,

because they have too few people. And then you go into a search, either voluntarily or involuntarily, and it's no different than investigating. And you always get a really cool Volvo with all-weather tires. I miss the 3D version of these crime films, but I noticed that the 3D trend is gone in cinemas.

That's a thing from 2010. And it also disappeared at the same time with the Salted Caramel trend, which was somehow solved by Dubai chocolate and now matcha. And I wonder, it's all 2010. Could it be, does it have to do with each other? So that 3D films are no longer in the trend, Salted Caramel is gone, it must probably have to do with this ship from the US channel, So that 3D movies are no longer in trend, it's no longer Salted Caramel,

it probably has to do with this ship in the Suez Canal, or that it got stuck, or somehow with the lioness in Berlin, where she stuffed a summer hole, which was actually a wild boar. That has to be connected. That's all temporary. If you make a time signal, then all of this happened at the same time, in my opinion. It happened at the same time.

The ship in the Suez Canal was full of salted caramel. And because it stayed stuck there for so long, it suddenly wasn't in the trend anymore. It wasn't asked anymore, it didn't exist anymore. Then something new came. And the lioness got confused because she was wearing a 3D-glasses on her head. She actually horted the 3D-glasses from all over Germany,

somewhere in Brandenburg. And then, when she wanted to have a nice evening, she took the 3D glasses from all over Germany. Somewhere in Brandenburg. And when she wanted to have a nice evening, she took off her 3D glasses and walked into Berlin. Or it was the other way around. Everyone had a 3D glasses and kept the wild boar for a lion. Because they never give back these glasses at the exit of the cinema. And then they did it.

And because it was then taught in the end, it's just a wild boar, it's a picture book, everyone said, this shit, 3D technology. Now we all thought, here are lions on the road, I'll never watch a 3D movie again. Yes, and I mean, TV is basically not 3D. I think there was a time when you said, now we're going to do 3D TV, where we all sit together

on a couch with a cheap plastic frame. That's probably comfortable. Today nobody has a TV, nobody watches it on a 13 inch screen or on a cell phone. And I also noticed that at politalk shows, it's always like this, Markus Lanz or Karim Jasker, then they are always invited pro and contra. Also different parties who want to show that they are the best. We are more on the better side than they are.

That's kind of boring. Because whenever there's criticism, they refer to the party and the general public. We know the dynamics. I want to see a political talk show where people are playing against each other, from the same party, from the same group. That you invite two people from the SPD,

or the Green Party, or the CDU, whatever, and then you're fighting them. Probably for so long, they they try to form a unity, and then you go deeper and deeper, where they then disagree, when Lars Klingbeil sits and Saskia Esken, and then you play against each other. Yes, and then, like in boxing, there are points,

and they know from the start, only one can win. That means one has to lose. That means they have to finish each other off. Yes, poke them like that. I mean, you know they have to get ready for each other. Yeah, so really snogging. I mean, you know, they don't all like each other that much. There's definitely more ground where you can play people against each other. And I think you'll probably learn a lot more about it in the end than just pro and contra on the subject.

So snogging, the big show, I could imagine. Maybe it'll come. Snogging mit Chris Sommer. Das große Sticheln, das ist dann auch das große Sticheln-Spezial mit Johannes B. Kerner auf dem ZDF. Ja, das große Sticheln-Kits. Du kannst ja dann irgendwie so aus Coaching reinkommen. Sticheln on Ice.

Die Politikerinnen sticheln sich aber auf Schlittschuhen. Ja. Jens Spahn against Armin Laschet. In street costumes. And there are horses on the ice. Appassionata teasing. Yes. Appassionata teasing and ice. Armin Laschet sits on a horse that has sleds and rides a cow to Celine Dion.

And teases him against Jens Spahn. That would be great if they are not only being stiched, but also in this horse-cow. That means they have to fight on a political level, but they will also have to keep the horse in check. I think that's very good. They are finally being challenged again. To sit together and crack out the same populist things. That's something no one can do. I don't care. I want to see how they do it on the road. When we learned once that politics is more connected to entertainment,

that's always a good thing. That we get people to be president who used to have a reality TV show. Maybe Armin Laschet has to be the first Summerhouse star and could then again be a chancellor candidate. No, but Armin Laschet, honestly, Chris, he won't be a Summerhouse star, he'll be a Summerhouse normalist.

Yes, exactly. But maybe you should rebrand Armin Laschet. So that maybe... Armand! Armand Laschet! Armando Laschet. That he just says, I've been doing exchange for half a year now in Bolivia, I'm coming back as a new person.

Barefoot. It's a new me. And I was in the summer house of the Normals, I just parked there blindly with my life partner and it worked out well. We were first to finish before Mike Hayter. Parking blindly, the worst game of all. I would never do it, because afterwards I'd have to drive to the workshop.

I would never do it. That's the only reason I don't go to the summer house. Neither normal nor stars. Because of this danger. But honestly, it's going to be fine. Let's pretend it. This wish is going to be fine. And Chris, you've launched a section of Hard last episode called Hard Launched, which I really liked,

and I really wanted to take part in it. You brought it to the first time, and I loved it so much. And now we've built this trainer. You haven't heard it yet, I'll play it right away. You only said one sentence. What did you say? The courage was... The courage was... A tough German quiz duel.

Yes, and a bit on amphetamines. That was the courage. I'm curious now and please show me how the trainer has become. I'm very curious what you've been able to do. The top three things you didn't know you knew them. I think that's appropriate. And I have a top 3. And I want to present it to you.

And you can think very carefully about what it could be. Place number 3. Unfortunately no, try again next year in August. Place number 2. I'm already retired. I just don't know how to get my homepage out of the internet. And place number 1. Unfortunately, I can't help you, but please call my colleague in Berges-Gladbach. What could that be?

Car workshop. I don't know. No, very cold. Although not very cold, very cold. If you drive a broken car? Not really, metaphorically maybe. Should I solve it? Should I tell you? It's the top three answers you get on the phone when you're looking for a therapy place. AKA, I've already got one on the phone, which has been looking for a place for weeks

and doesn't get any answers on mails. Or the answer is, we don't have anything anymore. Or, I'm on a pension and then I have to call. And then I get these answers. That's my top three. or get an answer like, we have nothing left, or I'm in a pension and I have to call, and then I get these answers. That's my top three. Yes, it's also, of course, I think I'm substituting this for the therapist.

I know there's a lot to do, there are not enough therapy places, that means the people who offer therapy, they have a lot to do, they will probably bomb you with requests. And there's probably this trick, I've already experienced, that you say, you can write an email, I'll answer them. So, I wrote emails, never got an answer, you still have to call them, it's occupied all the time.

Of course, they have a lot to do, as I said. So that's, of course, I think, a bit of an unsuitable thing to say. Please, if you feel bad, you need therapy, then you can email them, I will answer, but you'll never get an answer. Honestly, I think if I finally have a place, the first thing I need to work on in therapy will be the therapy place search. That's a separate reason for therapy, if you ask me.

At least an automatic answer email, I would say. Yes. At least a retort. Yes, at least an automatic answer email, I would say. Yes. At least a statement. At least an automatic response mail, or what I noticed, you're forced to call a practice, which is bad enough. But I have the feeling that five or ten years ago there was still the option to speak to an answerer.

At least for the feeling. Exactly, they leave the number and I call them back. But they've done done now, sometimes. Very sneaky, they've just done it. That's not happening anymore. Last time I called and someone really picked up. Then I said, I'd like to do therapy again. And then I was asked, what are the circumstances?

What is the content? And then I actually quoted Jürgen Dreeves. I have to get back to the reality of my artistic career every morning when I get up. And then it was said, unfortunately, maybe you'll call again next year. Do you know what I've just done? I'm not going to talk about the hot bra anymore.

As soon as I finally catch someone who goes to the phone, I won't say hello anymore. I will really talk about it and I will say it with the following words. I haven't been wearing underpants for five days. And if then still no help is offered, then I really have to say, then I have to move to Dubai soon. At least I get a therapy place there. Yes, you know, the therapy place search.

I mean, Maria Fershiki always says, if the Rollo is broken here, then someone within 15 seconds like the craftsmen. So maybe there are a lot of therapy places. I don't know. I don't know if psychotherapy is allowed. When we were in the hotel last time, maybe you remember when we were having breakfast,

which is always a special atmosphere. People not only review the buffet, but also the people who stand at the buffet When we were having breakfast, which is always a special atmosphere, people not only reviewed the buffet, but also the people who stand at the buffet and fill the plate. And then I also said, now I'm looking around me, now I'm not just staying at my croissant, which is fur dry, but now I'm trying to hear what's happening around me. Also as part of understanding myself as a whole. And then I noticed, next to us,

there was a married couple sitting, definitely a couple from the US, middle ages. They have, I don't know, maybe they're from Canada, I don't know, definitely from this corner. And you also noticed, they ordered a coffee, and apparently it wasn't delivered. Then they ordered again, and then again, with, I think, two or three different people,

I'm not sure exactly, but I think they ordered the coffee four times and then finally got their coffee, where I thought, wow, that's crazy. So after the first time I would have said, no, okay, I ordered coffee, it won't come, after a quarter of an hour, after 20 minutes, I waited, okay, there's no coffee today.

The coffee latte at Rewe from EMI is delicious too. I'll get one. I wish these people could find a therapy place for me. But they don't let you go. I would say, usually after the first time I order something and it doesn't arrive, then I say, well, then it shouldn't have been there. Fate wanted it that I didn't get my Latte Macchiato today.

Then I gave up. But people who ask me four times, that's what I had to bite like a terrier. And exactly this will you need at the therapy place? That's what I'm missing. Maybe that's the problem that I often have problems with appointments when I have to go to or look for a therapy place. That I just call and then it rings once and then I say,

well, it shouldn't be, I'll put it on, nobody went to it, I tried it, okay, that's enough for today. Yes, it really is enough to ring once. The people are always near the phone. Yes, but always a very big perseverance, where I said, wow, there are people like that, near the phone. Yes. good, but a citrus note. Then I asked myself, oh, awesome, they automatically refined it beforehand

with lemon? Yes, you can do that. I didn't know, I liked it, but there are certainly people who don't like it, but it was okay. So, then I got me a glass of water, I drank it, and then I noticed, there's lemon in it. So, and then at the beginning it was like,

oh, that's like a little wellness effect. You have the feeling, now you're doing something really good. Water with a shot of lemon, more vitamins in it and so on. You have this wellness feeling right away. When you drink, you already have the wellness feeling. Now I'm doing something for myself. Attention, mindfulness, my body is a temple. And you have the feeling, and I'll tell you what,

you have the feeling that you have two glasses of water. After that, this citrus flavor drove me crazy. I didn't want anything else but a simple water that tastes like water. And suddenly, little things that are nice and positive at first drive you crazy subtly with time. It's the same as with the will subtly drive you crazy over time. It's the same as with the music in Disneyland, which is running all the time. When you first get in, you think, wow, great!

A magical atmosphere. A magical atmosphere, really magical. And after four, six, eight hours, at some point... At some point you feel like a Scandinavian Kremi. Exactly, you just can't get away from it anymore. The whole village is under a blanket. Behind every corner, the next perpetrator could lurk. Yes, right, aka the next lemon.

And that's exactly how it was in this hotel. And everywhere they put the fucking lemon in. Chris, that drove me crazy. You order a coke, lemon in it. You get a cloth of lemon in the end. You order lemon on it. But already put it on Shit, lemon on it. But I was already so excited that it was already so soaked.

I couldn't take it anymore. I think I had a surplus of vitamin C or something. That's absolutely insane. And then I noticed something else. The hotel had very good care products. And I love that. If there are really good care products that are in the price range. I don't save that, Chris. I don't save save on the creams and shampoos and conditioner.

I've never seen so many conditioners like this day. And then I realized that stuff is so cool. I want to have that myself. I've been raving about it for a long time. I rejected it again. And then one thing came to my mind. I've always laughed at people who have these small travel-sized packages, small bottles for traveling, for shampoo, conditioner, soap and so on.

You mean the empty ones that you fill yourself at home. Exactly, the empty things that you can take with you in your handbag. And now I finally know why I need them. To fill up the things when you go to the hotel. The good care products from La Biotestique, that's the best thing ever. Chris, I've been really generous with this. This is enough for my next trip. Then they're empty again, and I'll fill them up again.

That's how I do it now, and that's exactly what these little things are for. It's not theft in that sense, because if you book a hotel room, you pay a price. It's not just a room rent, but you pay the costs for cleaning the room. Basically. You pay for cleaning the bed sheets, the cleaning of the towels, the use of the towels when new ones have to be bought, the toilet paper.

You pay the water costs, you also pay for shampoo and shower gel. And I say to myself, shampoo and shower gel and I say to myself shampoo shower gel yes I need something from that, especially shower gel shampoo not quite so much I don't have so many hairs on my head but conditioner I don't need at all. So but I pay with it. So I would say now according to your theory I can do well with it and right me to take something off because it is actually paid. In professional circles that means upcatering. That means everything I paid for I can also take with me. And if it's actually paid. In professional circles it's called up-catering. That means I can take everything I paid. And if it's these billo hotel rags, then you can take them too.

Not for the expensive ones, the multi-way rags, but the one-way rags, you can take them too. You paid for them too. Yes, and if the hotel is good, then it's of course discreet. Then you're not called afterwards and, hey, they stole the hotel rags. Then it's said that in our seven and a half star hotel, these are peanuts, we let our guests have them.

They can take everything they want. They can also expand the pool or the shower if they need it. These are little things for us. This thief is running under Fernaliefen. Yes. That's what they'll answer, because until then this phrase has has arrived in the hotel industry. At the end of the day, you just have to book it.

There was a toilet removed, a shower, 15 towels and 32 rugs are missing. So, that's just a click at the end. And you can say, we'll look over it. That's one line in Excel, that's all. But I'm doing several things. Not only the little things in the hotel, the little apple packages, but also the friendship paradox. And now you're probably wondering what that is again.

I'll explain that to you, of course. That doesn't work under Fernand Léven, I'll explain that to you. The friendship paradox says, under the line, if I break it down, that your girlfriends are more popular than you. Okay, so, yes, wie ist das gemessen? Umfrage, oder was? Bachelorarbeit, Umfrage, sorry, niemand macht mit, kann ich euch eine Mail in die Facebook-Gruppe schicken? Oder wie?

Nein, das ist ein Phänomen, und das beschreibt, dass die Freundinnen einer Person im Durchschnitt mehr Freundinnen haben, als eine Person im Durchschnitt Freundinnen hat. Was? have more friends on average than a person on average has friends. What? Yes! So your friends have more friends than you have on average friends. Your friends are more popular than you. That's a friendship paradox.

But is that something, does that come from psychology, that you just imagine it that way? Or, I'm also the joy of someone. It comes from sociology, that's all I can say. The rest, Chris, honestly, only the gods know that. Or the people who are mathematically or logically fit in the head, I'm not. I'm fine with this superficial information,

my girlfriends are more popular than me. Now I finally have the evidence, the mathematical evidence, the intrusive thoughts in my head are finally died out. Now I finally have the mathematical evidence, the intrusive thoughts in my head are finally being eliminated. Yes, another reason to go into therapy. For me too, although I have to say, if you say that friends have more friends than I do, I would say I'll take a cut below.

So you could be friends with me now if you feel like, oh, everyone else is more popular than me, alle anderen sind beliebter als ich, dann komm ich ins Spiel. So, dann kann man sagen, ja, okay, der hat auch nur irgendwelche Freunde im Internet. Ja, und das heißt aber für mich, so ein bisschen Entspannung reinbringen. Weil, also, jetzt ist es ja bewiesen, ne? Also, unsere Freundinnen haben mehr Freundinnen als wir.

Jetzt müssen wir uns aber auch nicht mehr anstrengen, oder? Also, es ist ja faktisch einfach so, dass sie beliebter sind als wir. Jetzt muss ich mich aber auch nicht mehr beliebt machen. Now we don't have to work hard anymore, right? It's actually just that they're more popular than we are. Now I don't have to make myself more popular. Now I just let people do their thing. Let the ball roll out. Let the ball roll out and let it run far away. My problem is, what does a friendship look like at all? If it has something to do with Slackline or Hacky Sacky,

then I'm out of there somehow. Or Diablo or something. That's not my thing. And if that's the perfect friendship, I'm the guy who likes to watch. Do you think there are friendships that only happen on Diablo? Of course.

That you play Diablo together and nothing else? Diablo, but on the slackline. Or on the horse, on the ice. But I think that's all out of the question. It's like 3D, it's like Salt and Caramel, or it's like underfernalism. I would love to see Last Klingon and Armin Laschet on the slackline with Diablo.

Yes, on the stich. Exactly, the slackline is between two horses on the ice. And then they stich. The big stiching special or with Florian Silbereisen the Advent Festival of 100.000 Stiches. And then 100.000 little Stiches.

But if I look at it like this, the Advent Festival of 100.000 Lights it comes with the stiches. I have the impression that a lot of things are already being stiched away. On stage you can't really get it. You really notice how Maite Kelly is completely on the wrong foot by Florian Silberis. I'd say that's a bit stupid, right? Yes, there are of course rivalries. We don't want to start from the beginning.

It's going crazy. Yes, I have a few more PROMI news. If you're open to it. Oh, gladly. A few more interesting things from the world of stars and stars. That's not my trainer, I stole him. What? But it's one of my favorite shows, Airtel exclusive.

And I saw Ulrike von der Gröben, the ex-news anchor of Airtel aktuell, probably with Peter Klöppel anyway, the only two news anchors, real news anchor, in Germany. But she did sports, right? Right, she did sports, right? Right, she did sports. And those two carried me through every crisis of the world with the trio Infernal, with Antonia Rades.

And I saw Ulrike von der Gröben, she had more with me than I thought. You're also noble? No, I'm not, but she has two different big feet, she said, exclusively. And what she does, I think is really commendable. She buys every pair of shoes she buys in two different sizes. That means she has a pair of them doubled and then has one shoe left

from each pair, which is then stored at home. That wouldn't have happened if she had followed our shoe stock market and exchanged the shoes with someone else who has the right size. Yes, and she said something that left a strong impression on me. I could underline it, she said, quote, from home I'm lazy, life never allowed it. Because she's a pensioner now. And now she can be lazy, finally because life allows it.

And then I want to say, yes, I let life do some things, but from home I'm lazy too. And one last news from the world of The Stars and the Stars, Kim Kardashian was attacked in Paris a few years ago. It's hard, she posted something she thought was crazy, and then brutally people came into the hotel room, very sad, like that. I think they're now partly in court,

because one has already died, because they were all around 70 when they did it. And one of them, who was in prison, wrote a book about it. He didn't just try to cash out coins and jewels at Kikwerdäschchen, he also wrote a book, completely uncalled for, with her on the cover. Where I say, okay, I know there are many thieves and robbers here in Germany who might be listening right now.

They're following their daily routine of robbery, burglary and stealing. They don't have time to practice writing and to express a good style. I'd like to volunteer as a ghostwriter for people who are sitting in the U-Haff and writing their stories. I thought of the people from the Green Gorge in Dresden

who stole jewelry and exhibition pieces worth 100 million euros. Honestly, I'd like to explain myself. That's very generous of you. I think you have a great role model with Chris Töpperwien, who wrote his biography in the closet within two weeks or so. And then published it right away, so not half of it. It was like that. He was put in detention.

I think because there was an international order against him. I don't know anymore. He was arrested in Austria. Now I'm turning things around. He was accused of stealing things at the workplace, where he thought it was a work-out, because he had done it as an influencer for his workplace, where he thought it was a work outcome because he did it as an influencer for his job, where he was employed. Anyway, not a big deal.

He just got off work and went to court. Then he got to the U-Haft. And on the same day he got to the U-Haft, he decided to start writing diaries. And these are the collected Chris Töpperwien, the currywurst man, the collected diaries of 14 days at the U-Haft. And I can imagine that. But if someone needs some support, the collected Chris Töpperwien, the Currywurstman, the collected diaries of 14 days of U-Haft. And that's what I'm thinking,

but if someone needs a little support, maybe a little joke, comic relief, here and there. And I also say, I don't do it for fun, but I don't want any honor. I would say, especially if it's about the case of the Green Gap, I would say, no honor, but give me, contractually assured, 10% of all income that comes from future theft and robbery. That's fair. That's a fair management contract.

But back to Chris Töpperwien. Chris, I just had a final idea where I wonder why Chris Töpperwien didn't come up with it. He moved to the USA to become a currywurst man. Yes, exactly. As a good-bye Germany, an emigrant to the USA, to LA, I think he made a food truck there. Yes, with currywurst. Several food trucks. And I think he was also in a jungle camp.

Exactly. But why? He sometimes lived in Austria with his current Austrian wife. Why doesn't he move to Vienna and open the Töpperwien and sell the Töpperwiener? Wiener Wurstel? I'm firmly convinced that he would have done that a long time ago, but I think in Austria Wiener Wurstel is called Frankfurt. Shit, that doesn't work either.

Also there, a whole country, namely Austria, only Chris Töpperwien is putting a stone in the way. A whole country is to blame that Chris Töpperwien is not already successful with Chris Töpperwiener in Austria. The suffering of Chris, not only you know it from the Waschstraße, Chris Töpperwien knows it from all European countries and also from the USA. And with that I would like to close the episode for today. I would like to say that we will hear each other again next week, in the best case.

I'm looking forward to it, it will be fun be fun. It's going to be a round thing. Until then, I wish you a nice week. Thank you for listening. Goodbye and bye. Bye. The podcast from the comfort zone.
