And we know that the firemen are going to come in and spoil our fun. Oh, okay. So not a school-certified event. No. Hassan's friend's uncle's dad had a buddy who used to work with one of the firemen's sister's kid.

Okay. And they had made this bet. Okay. and they had made this bet okay and I guess if Hassan's friend's uncle's dad won the bet we got to stay in the fire station overnight and do whatever and not clean up

oh okay but now the sun is coming up and now the fire and it's almost over yeah and we don't want it to be over and diane is like not crying but that doing that thing where you can tell she's about to cry yeah because like her fun is getting taken away and i finally just like go you you know what, guys? Let's barricade ourselves inside here. Yeah. And I saw us going, well, there's no food in here.

Also, there could be a fire. They would need the trucks and the equipment. Diane slaps him, like slaps him hard, like his head snaps around and that little like spit line comes out. And he was like what was i saying yeah yeah he's just like yeah sorry sorry uh sorry um because he's not like a i mean if you know his comedy you know how there's like battle rappers act there's battle rappers and there's uh studio rappers yeah there's also like Twitter beef comics and like studio comics who just craft their stuff. Yeah.

Which is Hasan. Hasan is not like a beef comic. You know what I mean? Yeah. He's like, you know, in the studio, in the lab with a pen and a pad. But so anyway, he doesn't want to he doesn't want to get into it with diane i mean will she be addressed in his next special oh diane is pure beef yeah she's looking to snap on you she loves the roasts i mean if you've ever watched a roast with Diane, she actually is doing way nastier, meaner shit.

And I'm happy that she hasn't been on because, honestly, I don't think America can handle it. Hey, welcome to Hollywood Handbook and Insider's Guide to Kicking Button, Dropping Names, and the Red Carpet Linebacker. Always in this industry we call showbiz. We have... What up, what up? Flula. We got Flula. Borg. Hello to you guys oh my gosh

oh hi you're uh you're doing earwolf show yes i'm very excited you did another show before comedy bang bang yes cpp just like the oil okay well that's the kind of oil? Yeah. Okay. CBB oil. CBB oil. Okay. And in the same way as CBD oil does, it kind of puts people, it has the same kind of effect. Comedy Bang Bang is my painkiller. I stop taking any kind of drugs or anything if I ever have an ache or a pain. I just throw on a Comedy Bang Bang episode and i let the kid detectives just sort of soothe my uh aching joints no psychoactive effects not no no just kind of calms your body down they say no psychoactive effects but do you ever feel like you're tripping out when you're listening to some

of this hainan man stuff minute seven right that's the one where it really kicks in. Yes, and then it goes. Oh, yeah. I am just blasted away on that one. Are you guys getting wealthy from the CPP residuals? So, yes, we do have a deal. That's something we discussed with Scott a little bit. Yes.

We did two episodes, right? Is that it? Two episodes in five years of knowing Scott. Yeah. And the way it works out is he, we make like per listen a dollar from those episodes. Yeah. And he of course takes $5 per listen of every one of our episodes.

Yeah. That's ever been done. Yeah. Yes. Yes. The pyramid. Yes. that has ever been done. Yeah, pyramid. Yes. Yes, the pyramid. Yes, he drew it for us. Yeah. Yeah.

And if we get people to do podcasts, which I was actually going to say, looking at you. Yes. You would do an amazing podcast. Oh, I have one. Yes. Yeah. Oh, you have one? Yes, I have one.

No, but here. Oh, so I should move my podcast. Yeah, you have to do it here. I like pyramids. You've got to get in here. Am I on the grounding floor? Yeah, it's absolutely an opportunity for you. And then if you're able to bring in three other podcasts.

Oh, my God. Do you know three other podcasts? I do, yes, yes. Wait, wait, and then tell me. And then what is the heck with Maren Mock? And then there's one about the weather. You listen to a weather podcast. You could bring the weather one here. Would you like that?

That's just the kind of stuff we've been trying to do. It's a niche. You're missing. You're missing. Yeah. Missing niches. No one is addressing that. I,

I listen. I, I know of one that is every two weeks. Yeah. It's a fortnight and it should be more a weather podcast. I think should be on more and also i don't i'm often not caught up also i like weather retrospectives you'd like to say what occurred what was the temperature in two weeks it's a nice it can be a nice memory it's daunting when i have

them stacked up because the one i think i listen to the same one and it's it's three and a half hours long yes yes and so i just go like i I'm going to get into this. Like I have so many that it's hard to even start one. And I'm a completist. I can't not do it. I cannot do that. Well, I would say if you need to skip, skip to the Connie Nebraska episode. It's really good. Yes.

The fact that it's a different location every time. It's never LA. I'm waiting for them to get to where it is. Just hold your bones. Yeah. But it's like Damon and Kimmel, right? I'm wondering if it's like an ongoing joke. How did it begin? Is it real? Yes. bones. Yeah, but it's like Damon and Kimmel, right? I'm wondering if it's like an ongoing joke. How did it begin?

Is it real? Yes. Yes. Yeah, ponytail China movie. Yes. Right. Yes. Yes.

Flula, you are from Germany. That is correct. Yes, you have a, I give to you a point. Yes. People who are listening are like, what the heck? It's like, well, that is. Is he talking, making fun of me? Yes.

People are saying. Everyone in Dusseldorf is offended. Yes. Yeah, that specifically, you should say, is like the Dusseldorf accent. The one that you're doing. Mine is now... No, it is living in Nuremberg and then spending four days in Los Angeles, Trutthals, South America.

Oh, okay. You've been here four days. Well, yeah. Well, welcome. Thank you very much. Yeah, hello.thuis, South America. Oh, okay. You've been here four days. Well, yeah. Well, welcome. Thank you very much. Yeah. Hello. Yeah.

And this is Chef Kevin, our producer. Chef Kevin? Yeah, Chef Kevin. Hi, Kevin. Hey. What does Kevin cook? Knockwurst, right? Oh, we will discuss later some of those things. Yeah, mustard. It's part of a Blue Apron

promotion. This is when you start doing the podcast here. Oh, it's all at Blue Apron. When you bring your weather friends. Yes, you'll get the opportunity to do all's all blue apron. When you bring your weather friends. Yes, you'll get the opportunity to do all kinds of fun ads. And you can make them fun. Don't go crazy. Okay. But you can feel yourself a little bit.

Say you use the product. Say you use the product. Okay, yes. Whether you do or not, don't try to make it feel like something people would listen to. What do you do? Because that will get you in trouble, I think. People know.

They know, oh, it's a lie. It's a fib. Yeah, they know that you're lying, and they want you to. Oh. Now, you brought up Dusseldorf, and I just can't stop thinking about there was a song called Morph Morph Dusseldorf. In your head or like was it released it's a song it was it was by this band the disco biscuits that we all love the disco biscuits sure you love them but you don't know morph morph dusseldorf well i can tell you they

are a jam band and so with jam bands there are no real titles but i can tell you the drummer does not wear shoes and when i saw them in the concert, I was making a pee-pee. And he walked next to me into the toilet place with no shoes and no socks. No shoes, no socks, but plenty of service, if you know what I mean. I'm referring to his penis. Wow, you were really lasered in on him through this whole experience, it sounds like. Well, he is a large strange man and if you do not wear shoes and socks into a nasty bathroom in carborough north carolina at the cat's cradle perhaps check your short records tetanus so you oh you can get tetanus

from that i don't know can you uh rust and urine i guess in combination yeah you are if you are if you are still exposed and you turn and the wall that is separate you and the other urinal is rusty well I can't be the only one

who at times finishes a strenuous pee looks down and sees a nail in the toilet see this is when

I you know I know in America not everyone is circumcised but in this moment you are very happy to not be circumcised right because the thing could get yes yeah it can protect you gets oh okay so it could get snagged on there but it's like a shield well it's a helmet it's it's like imagine the romans if they

attacked sparta with no helmets right that's the an uncircumc. Using a urinal with a nail in it is kind of the equivalent of storming Sparta. Without foreskin, yes. Yes. Fascinating. You like jam bands? You follow jam bands? I don't follow them so much. I did go to a Pahish concert with my friend Jacob Cohen some years ago.

They ended the song on the trampolines, and I didn't understand why you're on the trampolines. It's music, you know? Right, yeah. Were they bouncing around the room? No, they were just on the small trampoline for the children. Yeah. And they're just up and down, up and down, up and down.

And I'm like, who are you, Carrie and Kippy Strug? I want to hear some hot music, not some bouncing. Right, yeah. It seems like it would battle the good guitar playing. This is a great segue, I think, to what we want to do with you. Please. Well, I never got to ask it. Is Morf Morf Dusseldorf a real guy?

Oh, so to rewind, is this a man or a band? Or who is this? Oh, it's the song by the Disco Biscuits. And they say, Morf Morf Dusseldorf. Change it all the time. Yeah, so I don't know. Oh, I get it. Because Morf is like Martin Morf in power.

Well, I'm asking asking you but it could be a guy who is changing is it a guy yeah so i have not met this morph uh and i have only been to düsseldorf two times so i all right i'm not okay if you met him it sounds like a guy who if you had met him you might not know because he is changing all the time you might have met him both times you went and not even realize it was the same guy oh it's same man again oh it's exactly who knows who can know it it's like

have you seen the film with Val Kilmer where he plays all the different people he's like I'm a powder man I'm a ninja man I'm a biscuit

you know yeah I've seen that it's Val Kilmer yeah what is it Salt and Sea something like this yeah

it's pretty good yeah he plays a biscuit I'm a biscuit I think I said that because the band was called Disco Biscuit yes okay I thought it might be a coincidence I love a biscuit I think I said that because the band was called Disco Biscuit

yes okay I thought it might be a coincidence I love that you admit that I didn't yeah I'm sorry a lot of people

would try to pretend like no he is a biscuit but to just say hey look I just heard something and then I said it I said it yeah

but so freeing that's what we do yeah you know we all live in Zipopolis oh yeah that's another podcast. It is.

Very successful one. Yeah. Sleigh King. We wanted to do something for money with you, in addition to this, which is also for money. Yes, I love dollars. Euros. So, in television, you do American TV show, but you you start to think about a new show yes and then you say what if we just took a show that is happening already yes somewhere else

nobody knows about it here yeah and we take that show and we make that this is my idea but we've seen it already yes and that is called a format oh and so you take these formats from other every format really just means tv show that happened already yes uh the office is a format well and and and welcome to sweden yes welcome to sweden welcome to sweden oh no what is that sister show greg poor come on greg greg amy's older brother, Greg. Maybe younger. Yes, I do remember. It's from Helsinki. Yeah. Yes.

That is a different place, but good for you to admit that as well. And I believe Helsinki, Sweden is a joke that they make in the movie Die Hard. See, you know it. My favorite film of all time. Oh, so that's what you were referencing. I was referencing Hans Gruber as he's falling from the... They undo the watch and he's falling and then he does a knock knock joke you cannot hear it because of the screams oh on his way down it's a helsinki knock knock joke yeah oh okay yeah uh do you want to do the whole thing well if you are providing the screams i will

tell the joke yes okay he does a scream kind of like... Knock, knock. Oh, I don't understand. Oh, you're stinky. Oh, I'm stinky. There's a middle part of the knock, knock joke that I am not familiar with. He says, I don't understand. Yeah, how stinky he says. I really like this.

Because knock, knock jokes to me have gotten stale, huh? I agree with that. The format is so predictable back and forth i don't understand the idea of subverting it and having the person on the other side of the knock knock to be like wait a minute thank you press pause on this knocking yeah that actually is really innovative yeah i've actually i am writing a jokey book. Because all of the jokies have been told and so I want to just re-examine it, you know? Yeah.

Let's get in there with a freaking microscope and just tweezer and take it apart. Nano, micron. You can make really big bucks on a really jokey book. Oh, dude. That's the big money. Just for, yeah, and for people to impress our friends

at work oh at play yes yeah and the other dads all the daddies and the mummies yeah you said formats yes formats thank you of course uh welcome to sweden as a format oh very good uh and so what you want to what we're going to do is take some of these shows, like these German shows. Can I make a little joke? Please. Unfortunately, some of the formats that have been coming over feel a little more like three mats or even two mats. Oh.

We want full formats. We want the whole shebang. So when you tell us about the show, we're going to ask you, what are some big, you know, German shows? Yeah. If we,

if we get a 10 mat, we all don't have to do this anymore, which I think we could agree would be preferable. I'm going to give, I agree. I'm going to give you guys a fear mat and fear is the German number for four. Yes. Yes.

But it is also a fear, fear mat, because it is a format from Germany, but it's also involving a scary time. Oh. Yes. But it is also a fear, fear mat, because it is a format from Germany, but it's also involving a scary time. Oh, okay. Wow. Wow. Scary format. So fear squared mat.

Yes. And you don't ever have to tell me what the German number for four is. If you think I can't count to ten in German, you're out of your damn mind. It's not for you. It's for those three listeners. Yes. In Ames, Iowa. We are talking to you. Yes, college town. Yes. Education.

So what's a scary format we love? Is there a camp element at all? How do you mean camp? Are they going to camp and are they like, yeah. So are they going to camp? And are they also being kind of like funny about some of the scariness? Well, as you know, in America, you always are taking the format Firmat and making a strange addition.

So if you would like to insert flutes into the format, please Firmat, you may do it. Well, tell us about this show, this scary show. Well, as a seventh, I was a child, as a seven years old. There's Lindenstraße, which is called Linden Street. Yeah. Which is just a soap opera, as you say, a soapy opera. But then before this, on the local, we have a channel three, and the three channel is everywhere in Germany, but it is regional.

It's everywhere. But regional. And yet it is regional. Yes, yeah, yeah. Like HR3, SVH here it's all very like are you from southwest germany since this is your channel you know ah yeah and so in mind we had a phara and this was phara schmidt and a phara is a man from the what you call a man from the church with the stripes and the bible and speaking oh referee yes so he's a referee schmidt and so he

in the morning time of sundays before lindenstra, he always was giving like a way to, how to remember your week, boys and girls. How to remember your week. How to remember your week. Well, he was telling people how to prepare for the week. You know, like Stephen Covey with the seven habits. Yes. But not habits. It was mostly like, remember Jesus is here.

Right. The seven habits are for the nuns. Yes. Those nuns always not sharpening the blade. Yes But not habits It was mostly like Remember Jesus is here Right The seven habits Are for the nuns Yes Those nuns Always not sharpening the blade Yes The seventh habit

Sharpening The saw It's a saw Sharpening the saw Yeah And then the first habit Is put things First things first

Yes Right First habit is Put things first Put first things first seven is sharpening the saw it's a blade or the saw the blade of the saw it depending on your eye the second habit is five in between who cares but say the second one let's go let's go yeah number three i think is hang on a second no actually i think we should go oh it it's a pause. But then it's a go.

It's able to take stock for a moment. Yes. What's the fourth one? Oh, hey everyone. What's it going on? Okay, yeah. What is the thing that we're doing? We're just saying let's go.

We haven't decided what the thing is that we're going to do. Can we please stop and figure this out we're more than halfway through the habits five we know we have to get to sharpening a saw at the end of this where is the saw yeah five i believe is hang on i'm just gonna charge my phone for like 10 minutes because i know i'm gonna be going crazy yeah yeah yeah exactly who knows where we will be by steps yeah just a little bit yeah just so i'm just gonna we just you know use the bathroom or do whatever you do but i'm just gonna just plug my phone in for a second and i think the sixth one is we have to do something about that guy that was asking all

those questions before uh-huh and so of course seven is sharpening this all sharpen this all many meanings okay So the show. Yes. The scary show. Have we gotten to that? Is that what it was? Or is this another one? Well, as we discuss the habits, I'm realizing this show may be mostly just something I found very terrifying.

Uh-huh. And because as the referee, Farah, was speaking about how to make a good time with the weak. Behind there was always a doll. Like he's in his, what do you, well, you know the church place in the back with the room? He's like, oh, here's where my desk is and here's where I check my emails from the other disciples and things. Right.

Yes. The rec room. The rec room. And so he had like, oh, look, children love me. Look at this. And then it was a doll with eyes and the eyes it had eyes

but it did not close there's no blinking of the eyes okay so what you wanted was a doll that has no eyes or a doll that blinks yes okay

yes so that was very I'm realizing now this is not no no no it's a format it's a format it's a format

is it though? oh yeah and so we figure out how to show necessarily. It's a format. Is it, though? Oh, yeah. And so we figure out how to pull it over. It's a fear mat. Yes, it's a fear mat. What was the guy's name? Do you remember?

Well, I think it was Farrah Schmidt. So S-C-H-M-R-D-T. Not to be confused with Harald Schmidt, who is the German David Letterman. Okay. Great. Is he still doing his thing? with Harald Schmidt, who is the German David Letterman. Okay, great. Still, is he still doing his thing? I think people was like, hey, you're being German David Letterman. And he's like, hey, suck it. And then he did leave.

Okay, where'd he go? Perhaps he is morphed into. Me and I'm morphed into Sildor. What a twist. Calling back to it. I love when things come back around like that in such a natural way. And I, of course, am Ha Ha Schmidt. You are Harald Harald. Harald.

But that's his nickname. He's a comedy guy. So his nickname, of course, is Ha Ha Schmidt. I should let you know, I've secured the phone number Ha Ha for Flula eight years ago. It's a real number. And I, it's okay, that explains it, because I've been trying to get that phone number. Oh, I have it, yes, it's mine. And it's been, and they won't tell me who has it. I have it.

Okay. Yeah, yeah. And I've been dating everyone at the phone company. To find out? Just, yeah, thinking I can get on their email or something when they go to sleep. But then, no, no, taken. Hasn't happened. I haven't gotten, haven't gotten to the point where they are asleep and I'm anywhere around. Ah, so.

A very quick question. You guys were hanging out with Hasan Whiteside and Diane Sawyer? Mm-hmm. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for asking. Well, you know, they always run together, those two.

Yes. With the rebounding and the asking questions. When Diane Sawyer shows up, it's a block party. With four Cs, you know. How's that? Four Cs? Like a block with four, like when you say, look at that. Oh, he is sick.

Oh, the respelling block., I see. Oh, so we're spelling block. She is block. Oh, yeah. And then pronouncing it with like the S sound. Right? Yeah. I think you're right. Okay. Let's adapt the

Pfarrerschmidt. You can add an O if you like. Like, O'Farrar Schmidt. Ha Ha Schmidt. Now, yeah, okay. Let's adapt it. We need a guy. How old is he?

He's probably expired. How old was he at the time of the show? I would say the end of the 50s, 60s. Okay. 50s, 60s. We could probably, I mean, if we knock him down a little bit, the kid, the Stranger Things.

Oh, yes. Tobey Maguire. I like Tremblay. Can we get Tremblay? What about the kid that is not the curly-haired one with the gaps in Stranger Things and is not the main one,

the wolf-hard kid, the one who gets lost? Oh, and he's always, he looks like his mama. Sam or something. Will. Will. Will.

And he's in the wall. Will. Yeah, so we get him. He's Farrer Schmidt. Farrer Schmidt. Okay, so some makeup. Okay. Well, to make him potentially younger.

Younger, want to age down. Yes. For the American audience yes yes who shall play the doll oh now that's a great question there's a female doll

I it was long here but and this is a new era as a child of those times it was a lady doll it was a lady doll

but now who can know I didn't ask the doll do we have to update it to make it not a lady doll? Because I was going to pitch Annabelle could be the doll. Okay. Well, so this is the thing.

Yes. Who is Annabelle? Annabelle is a doll from a movie who has powers and is killing people. And also, Sean has had sort of like a romantic history with Annabelle. It's not. How do you mean? Like in a sex world with Annabelle. It's not. How do you mean? Like in a sex world? Well, no.

That's a little personal. That's private, but I am comfortable saying no. That has not happened yet, but it's not off the table. What I'll say is we've had a great time. Have you put, where is this dog? There's a definite connection there. Okay. Where does she live?

She's in a case inside the Arclight Hollywood. So when you go, when you first walk in. Yes. Oh, on the right is the case of the new movie. Here is the storm suit from the Guardians of the Film. Yes. And Annabelle's in there. And it's funny.

I was just walking by and I thought I heard a tap on the glass. She says she didn't. But obviously somebody was noticing me and i turned and was just completely enchanted now i haven't seen the movie and she's pissed um and i don't think i will because i don't want her to be some thing from a film i want her to be annabelle. Personal relationship. The doll that's in a case at the movie theater who I talk to. And what is the film that she is in? The film is called Annabelle. Oh, it is an eponymous.

Yes. And she is being very scary in it. And this is a fear mat. She can blink, but she doesn't have to blink. Yeah, I say no blinking is very important for this yes and so if we could get her this opportunity

she would love I mean she would be very thankful to you if you if we could get this off the ground wasn't why I suggested it

but yeah I think that there are limited roles unfortunately still for women dolls yeah

in this industry and this can you use this as a way to secure a first date, perhaps? I don't, you know. This would be a professional thing. It would be totally separate from our current relationship, which is I go to the

glass case inside the movie theater. It's the Oak Light Hollywood, yes. And I talk to the doll inside the case. Can you open the case? Is there a way to enter the case? Not that I've found. And I talk to the doll inside the case. Can you open the case? Is there a way to enter the case? Not that I've found. And I will say that what I know for certain is that if you try to open the case, people are mad. The ushers.

Yeah. Yeah. Whatever they are. They're pissed. Yes. They check the film quality and sound and also the doll. Make sure everything is in the case yes of course

yeah so so they Annabelle shows up after years of Farr Schmidt

of not having seen her yes and she has also a baby like a smaller doll oh a doll baby

yes and she's like hey so I never told you about this but this, but this is our child. But she doesn't really have any kids. But the real Annabelle

does not have babies. No, but it's fine. She can do it for the show. That'll be okay for her? Yeah, she can do that for the show. She can play anything. I mean, she's just like magnetic. So, instant family. I love this. And who plays, oh, Kiefer Suther instant family. I love this. And who pays? Oh, Kiefer Sutherland is the baby doll.

Is the baby doll. The little one. Yeah. That actually could be really funny. Yeah. And very scary. Like, oh, I'm not the president. And then, oh, I'm a baby from Farah Schmidt's rec, what's it called?

Rec room. Yeah. Sorry, rec room. Rec room, yeah. And so now they're trying to make it work. He is confused about whether, because he's a father, whether to hide this baby, because you can get in real trouble with your boss.

Yeah, it's a church. If you have a baby in church. Yes. And the baby's mouthing off and bossing everyone around. Not blinking also. Yes, that baby doesn't blink either. Oh, baby don't blink. off and bossing everyone around. Not blinking also. Yes, that baby doesn't blink either. Oh, baby don't blink. Yes.

That's a poster. Baby don't blink. Or the name. We don't have a name for the show. Baby don't blink. Oh, okay. Yeah, it could be the name. The show's called Baby Don't Blink.

Or Don't Blink Twice. Oh, I like it. Off of the success of the movie Don't Think Twice, the Birbiglia movie. Yes. Or maybe Eyeslia movie. Yes. Or maybe Eyes Wide Open. Yes. Because of Tom Cruise. Oh, and his.

Yes. And now his eyes are sort of wide open to this new world of a family. Yeah. That's good. We did a show. Great. We really did do one. I'm so excited.

We did the whole thing. Wow. Can we do really did do one. I'm so excited. We did the whole thing. Wow. Can we do another one? Please. But you have to start it with, you have to give us a format. Of course. We need something from over there. Okay.

So this one is called Wetten, dass... Question mark. No, this is... Yeah. Yeah. This is great. I'm loving it. Yeah.

So what is that? Wetten, dass... Wetten, dass... Question mark. Yes. great i'm loving it yeah so what is that this is question mark yes which is i am betting you that a dot dot dot dot question mark oh wow and this is a talk show it is a very much a classics and it is thomas gottschalk as you may know from sister act two uh starring uh from the Fugees Calista Flockhart no what is her

what is her name from the Fugees I think it was Lauren Hill Lauren Hill yes and then also Calista Flockhart

I don't know you weren't wrong she like sat in on some Fugees recordings yeah it was before Proswell joined it was Calista

and they're like listen Calista yes are you from Jersey and she says no and then they say how do you describe Jersey? Is it dirty or new?

And she says, new. And they say, you're out. You have to leave. It's dirty Jersey. Yes. And so then it was, yeah, pros. Pros. So anyway, I bet you that dot, dot, dot, question mark is hosted by Thomas Gottschalk, a man

with a large nose from Germany who plays a chef in the Nun movie, Sister Act 2. Gottschalk. Oh, Gottschalk. Gottschalk. Thomas Gottschalk. That, Sister Act 2. Godshark. Oh, Godshark. Godshark. Thomas Godshark. That's a good name. I like it. God damn.

And so what it is, is all of the guests are usually a famous person, you know, very high on the storm meter of IMDb, to bring it back to the podcast, Hollywood Handingbook. Thank you. It's about yes to bring it back to the podcast hollywood handing book thank you it's about time we brought it back to the show we gotta get back to the show get back to it okay so this is a talk show oh but it's so much talk but it's not hosted by haha schmidt no no thomas as you say god sure yes okay uh but it's so much it's so much talking oh we are a german

talking show when you German talking show. When you say talking show, it is only talking. It is 99% is a talking. They don't play like beer pong or anything? Very short amount. No games. Very small game. They'll play a small game?

They play a small game and here is a game. Like if let us say, I don't know who is coming. Maybe it's Tracy Chapman. She is there as a guest. And they're like, Tracy, how are you? How is Fast Car, et cetera. Yes. And then they and they speak how was fast car what did she say to that she said uh still going biatch wow crazy that's crazy though that is so crazy right yeah and then she did leave she just she said no screw you thomas wow God shark. God shark, he did it. Okay.

But that was not a game. No, well, she don't, as you know. Yes. Yeah, Tracy, don't trap. And so the game is always a bet. And so it's like, oh, hi, good to see you. I don't know, Enrique Iglesias. Yeah. Here is a bet.

A man can say he can lick five matchsticks, and then when he does it, he can tell you your future. And then they say, can he do it or can he not do it? Tell us, Enrique. And then Enrique make a predicting. Could he do it? I don't know. I didn't see this episode. Oh, you didn't see that one. You just heard about it.

It was just in the news. I fainted. Oh, yeah. It's a strong medicine. Enrique is like I would say he's like bad medicine and it is what I need yes

he has had some yeah songs that are that go down very hard like they like they taste very strange

going down yes like a large flaxseed oil yes yes right but but good for you.

Yep. We hope. We got to import this show. We have to do something with it. So it's a talk show where they're making bets. Oh, big bets. Yes. I'll bet you that.

Dot, dot, dot. Question mark. Who's a famous... Shouldn't be answered by Bette Midler? Oh. Wow. I was going to say... and hayes is pulling his weight that's good that's good right say what i got one in a co-host perhaps yeah maybe uh the bus jerome bettis hello yes okay so it's bet and bettist. And they are betting each other. They're making bets with the guest.

Yes, guest bets. Yes. And Betsy Brandt could do it as well, who was on Breaking Bad. Mookie Betts. And Mookie Betts. Mookie could always do it. Yes, he's really in it. Mookie may be hosted instead of Thomas Godshark.

You want to replace Godshark? Oh, yeah, i assume we were doing that i think he might be expired as well he's very much alive oh he is alive okay he's still here and waiting for his next you know he's like as they say by the phone like soul asylum you know yes yes waiting by so it seems important to you that he do it no oh you're just bailing bailing on him just like that. You don't care. I'm a neutral. I'm a neutral card that's rolling on the street. If you want to

put me in a gear one or Godshot gear, let's do it. Okay. I think we try the four host combination we were talking about, which is Bette Midler, Jerome Bettis, Betsy Brandt, and Mookie Betts. I like the athletes inside.

I think it's very smart. They offer sort of a new perspective. And betting on sports is this big thing now. Yes. Fan duel and stuff is huge. Is this where you guys mentioned the sponsors? Yes. I mean, sorry.

No. This is where we talk about products that we just happen to really enjoy. That we use on our own and just love. Yes. Got it. And what I was saying was that FanDuel is a way for you to make money. Yes. It's how you do it.

And it's a job now, basically. It is. And you can do it and not go to work. You have fun instead of working and you make even more money. What's the promo code? Geez, do we even have one? That's a long one. So we're hoping to get a promo code.

We're in between promo codes right now. We definitely have had some good ones in the past, and we look forward to the next one. The last promo code, I think they're randomly generated, but the last promo code was stop. And so I think it was deterring a lot of people from using the product and then it was don't use this that was the promo code yes that sounds ineffective right yeah and that was random generated yes and so i think the next one we want is something along the lines of like yes do it go go go please yes, help. Something like that. Yeah, I like this.

So, and we're doing more American bets instead of licking matches and predicting the future, which is kind of a German thing. Yeah, I admit it. Like, what kinds of stuff for the American, the more American bets? The American, oh, God. Respect the flag. Yes. Oh, yes. So, we're betting. Eye respect the flag yes so we're betting eye on the flag about whether someone can iron the flag that's a good one yes yes yes uh can you wash a flag is this no don't do it

you can like there's a specific way that you have to wash it yeah certain settings yeah yeah there are our washing machines here have the flag. It's like you send a window washer guy up to the top of the flagpole and he has to wash it

up there, you know, and like squeegee it. Yeah. Which can be tough. Yeah, it really can be. It's fairly gross.

We did two shows, Flula. We just did it. Oh, we did do it, yes. Right now. We just did, right? Was that two, Jordan?

That was two. Did you see Annabelle? No, but I know of her reputation. She has a reputation? She has kind of a reputation. She has a big reputation. Oh, tell me more, please. Yes. Oh, I thought you were saying you have a reputation for having seen Annabelle.

For having seen Annabelle. But you're not saying that Annabelle has a reputation for having seen it. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. I have a reputation for having seen it. Ah, okay. But you're not saying that Annabelle has a reputation. No. No. It's me. I have the reputation because of Annabelle. Okay, so you're not trying to cover up that you were implying something about Annabelle

and now you're putting it on yourself. No. Well, I will say I've seen lots of smudges on the glass. I just want to put this out there. Okay. Those weren't mine. Yeah. No.

Okay. Okay. I don't know who to believe anymore. Kevin, have you seen Annabelle? God, just talking to Chef Kevin through glass right now is kind of getting me worked up. It's reminding me of sort of my Annabelle relationship. Oh, Chef annabelle here oh i like it well i have a question and maybe hazel hate that i even asked this but and i don't

know if it could lead us to a show but when i was in germany the german students did sort of a mean trick to me where they played this game with me to kind of make me look foolish. And I'm wondering if this is common, like if everyone in Germany knows it or if it was just this group of things. And I hate him asking this question because I hate anything where he looks foolish.

Does this sound familiar to you? Putting himself in this position. What was the... Ready? They would go, Der Mund ist rund. No, no, wait, sorry. Der Mund They would go Der Mund ist rund No, no, wait, sorry. Der Mund ist rund Der Mund ist rund

Hat zwei Augen Nas und Mund Oh, das ist aber schön. And then they would pass me And then everyone would draw that with the lighter Do you know what I'm talking about? Do you know this? So you are saying the mouth is round The mouth is round, has two eyes, a nose and what did you say?

What they were saying was the moon is a dog. Der Mund ist rund. Der Mund. Go like, oh who let my doggies out? Oh, oh, Mond. Der Mond. There we go. Der Mond ist rund. Der Mond ist rund. Ja, Mond. Der Mond. There we go. Der Mond ist rund. Mond. Der Mond ist rund. Ja, Mond. Der Mond ist rund. Ja, ja, ja. Der Mond ist rund. So you are saying mouth again.

You have now once more switched. Now that's now your... Mond. Mo. Mond. Mond. Der Mond. Mo.

Der Mond. Do you know like the three Stoogies? Ja. Larry Curly Mo. Ja. Mond. Der Mond. Ja, okay.

Der Mond ist rund. Ja. Der Mond ist rund. Oh, yeah der mond is rund is this how they were tricking you well saying yeah what is something that you didn't want so what here's what they would do they would draw the shape with a lighter they would draw a circle with a lighter yeah we had just smoked okay so they would draw and i sat in the park with them for like 45 minutes while they did this to me. Okay. And so they're like, okay, we're going to do this now. Yeah. They were like, hey, let's do this game.

And they all did it, seven people. I can't believe the patience that they had to just fuck with me. But they would say, der Mond ist rund. Yeah. The moon is a hound. The moon is a hound. It has two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. And they would draw the eyes, nose, and mouth.

And then they would pass me the lighter. And every time they did it, they'd go, you're doing it wrong. You're doing it wrong. And they would correct my pronunciation. Is he doing it right now? Is he just making you look foolish again? Maybe, but they would correct my pronunciation, or they would correct the way I draw it.

And I would always be looking. They'd go like, no, you haven't done it right. You haven't done it right. And they'd pass it back. But the whole, no, you haven't done it right. You haven't done it right. And they pass it back. But the whole thing was they were doing it different every time. The only thing that was the same is they would draw it with their right hand and pass it with their left hand. Ah, it's one of those games where they're like, you aren't following the rules correctly. Yes, that's right.

Boy. Is that something that you guys do? You guys. Wow. I will tell you, guys do? You guys? Wow. Well. I will tell you, Sean, I have never played this. I will say that you were saying something incorrect and as a German person

it's hard to not make a want of correcting the thing. Well, but that was never the issue and at the time my accent was a lot better. Was very good. No, you have a very good accent, I must say it. Sehr gut. Wirklich spitze. Danke. It does sound a lot better. Was very good. No, you have a very good accent, I must say it. Sehr gut. Wirklich spitze. It does sound a little strange. Bitte langsam.

Ich bin ausländerisch. Ja, hör auf. It's very good. I'm very impressed with it. Get out of here. I cannot. And your name is almost meaning like nice. In, um, schön, right? A little bit. Und um, um, herum. Und ja, was war das denn? Das war schön. That was very nice. And how do you, like nice in um and right a little bit and um um and yeah what's up dustin it's

for shooting that was very nice and how do you how does is this a German how are you knowing what shown is Sean Sean is shown he teaches teach me I teach I take his two hours every day after the podcast I'm trying to teach him German so in case we've run into this these gang members basically gang members what you're talking i've been in training for the rest of my life to try to get these guys with my own game and my own trick yeah what is the trick have you uh develop yet what you will do um i don't have a specific plan my hope is that hayes will be able to come up with something on the fly because I've been teaching him. Right. And it was not in Germany that this happened.

It was in Prague with Germans. Oh, that's fair. That's different then, huh? Yeah. And now do we know are they German? Because we've established you have had some CBB oil or something before. So what? Yeah.

Yeah, we had CBB oil. Were they German? We tried absinthe and then we had some hash. Oh, okay. And they were German, but what I noticed, too, is a lot of them were also not German. Yeah, and they could have been exiled. Yeah.

They could have been sent away. Some of the stuff there, it seems like they're up to. Yes, they could have been sent out of Germany for doing this kind of mean trick. When you say German, I know these are not Germans. Because if you see German men, you're like, German, hello,

ding dong, ring ring. That's what I said when I saw you. So I guess these are guys probably from Hungary. One of them was from Cyprus. Cyprus? Mm-hmm. Which one?

Konstantin. Oh. Okay. Kosti. Yeah, yeah. Is he the one that sings hits from the bong? Well, interesting you should ask. He did sing that.

Engineer Jordan is the new director. Podcast director Jordan. Thank you for directing it. Fluke, give me an example of one of the deep questions that you find deeper answers for on the show just so I can imagine it.

Absolutely. So, for example, last night I had a dream that David Robinson, the Admiral, who's a former center of the San Antonio Spurs and also a Navy midshipman. Just a famously wonderful guy. A wonderful man.

So, he was working in an ice cream shop, and I love mint chocolate chip ice creams. And so, I asked him, what is that? Where is it available? Okay, let me stop you. So, Jordan, direct me in how i would handle something like this with the mint chocolate ice cream yeah yes exactly yes see she's already boom right on it uh i would direct you to not move okay i'm holding still yep and uh i would go on my fancy device and it's um is that me or that's you?

Me. Because I'm the director. Yep, got it. Thank you. What is this device? I think it's called a computer. Oh, okay. The director's computer. A director's computer, yeah.

It's very large. I can't fit it in my pocket. That's huge. And then I would research the chocolate chip ice cream. You're looking it up for me. I appreciate that. That's me looking it up. What did you discover?

I discovered that there's a lot on this planet. Okay. Well, his question was, where do I find it? Oh, it's at... No, but you're helping. I'm still looking for it. Oh, okay. My director's computer is very slow.

Okay. There's no Wi-Fi. It's so big. Yeah, it takes a while for the information to travel. It's almost like you're bragging about it. Jordan, has Kevin provided you with any choreography associated with this? He showed me a two-step. Oh.

It's one, two. I did it. Right there. Oh, wow. Holy shit. It says it because it is it yeah one two

there you go she has a BA in vocal performance as well I know you can tell you're listening to it
