And now, it's time for Inside Conan, an important Hollywood podcast. Hi. Hi. Hello there. Hi, I'm Mike Sweeney. I'm Jessie Gaskell. And this is Inside Conan, an important Hollywood podcast. That's right, once again.

And we're back to talk about things going on at the Conan Show. Yeah, we work there. We're writers there. Right. At least last time I checked. So sometimes we have a behind-the-scenes look at things. We do, and we had a lot of activity behind the scenes last week. Yes, a lot of stuff happened, especially on our Thursday show.

Yeah, Kumail Nanjiani was supposed to be on the show. Yes. He was our only guest because now that the show is a half hour long, we have one guest. Right, so it's important that the guest- That the guest shows up. Yeah, it's part of the deal.

Well, and I didn't, yeah, I mean, it's just never been an issue. No. Like every, people, I think maybe one time someone did missed a flight or something and then couldn't make it but we we knew pretty far in advance right there have been things where the talent booker is outside what will start the show but in the person still not there yet yeah that drama like that yeah they show up where they're running late right but in this

case kumail just didn't come well he i his people or somebody said he was shooting a Silicon Valley scene out in Marina del Rey. Yeah. And wasn't going to make it. He can't get out of work in time to make it, which I thought. To do the other work. I mean, I use that excuse for people. Yes. But usually it's stuff I don't want to do.

Well, that might be the case. I don't want to do. Well, that might be the case. I don't know. But it came literally half, 40 minutes before the show started. Yeah, I just saw a flurry of emails suddenly. They were like, we need a Lion King clip. And I was like, for what?

Right, right, right. Who's into the live version of the Lion King? So, yeah, I just got an email. No guests. We, no guests. We got to scramble, which to me is like the most fun, you know, when everything gets thrown out. Everything literally did get thrown out the window.

So, because there was a monologue meeting and they had four great jokes and there was a lot of great comedy lined up. But, you know, Conan was like, Andy's going to announce. Yeah. But then say, this is literally a developing situation. This is breaking news. Yeah, right, which is where we are on our show. And just trying to deal with it in the moment.

So he decided to just improvise. He did. The whole first act. And he thought, like, saying, hey, our guest isn't here, and then going back into a monologue would be a weird. Something scripted, yeah. It would seem like a weird energy. The crowd would be like, wait, you just mentioned something unusual. Yeah, I thought you were scrambling.

Yeah. This seems pre-written. It seems pre-prepared and locked down. Exactly. So then we're kind of kicking around like, oh, what can we do? What can we do to address Camille not being here? And then Andy had the idea because he was coming on to promote his new movie. Yeah.

Which we're not going to mention. No, we're not going to mention it. No free rides. Because fuck it. And we're like, well, we have that clip. Should we do something with the clip? And then Andy had the great idea. He said, oh, why don't we say we were going to show a clip from this

new movie, but instead we're going to show a clip from a movie opening against this movie. Which was The Lion King. Right. And we were all like, yay, good. And then they decided to interview Sonam of Session. Right, Conan's assistant. As his main guest. She was, I'm always

like, I've done, we've done remotes with her and she, the camera, it's as if there's no camera there. And then last night she goes out in front of an audience in addition to five cameras and seems absolutely unfazed. She was great. She was really funny. She was hilarious. She's good at improv. She's one of our best guests ever.

And she's been here, she's there every day. Well, they have a great chemistry. Yes, they do. That they rehearse every day. Yes, that's true. Their little, their schtick of hating each other. That really is how they interact all day. Yes.

And you're right. We just added last night an audience and cameras. Yeah. To capture it. No, but she, yeah, she's, because she doesn't, I don't think, have aspirations of being a performer. Right. Which is actually my favorite thing about it is that she's not someone who got into this business secretly to try to, you know, be her own. Exactly.

Be the host of her own show. That's a great point. Yeah. Because I think that's obviously why she doesn't care. Yeah, she doesn't care. And why, whereas, yeah, if you're like, oh my God, if I don't do well. This is my chance. If I don't do well on this.

I'll be the heir to the Conan throne. So that's what happened yesterday. Yeah. It was exciting. And you know what? Maybe now's a good time to introduce our guest. Yes. Let's bring him out.

If I bring him out, turn our heads. Oh, hi. Thanks for being our guest. How are you? It's Fl I bring him out, turn our heads. Oh, hi. Thanks for swiveling your neck. Yes, how are you? It's Flula Borg. Flula Borg. Well, hello. It's Jesse and Michael.

Nice to see you. Oh, nice to see you guys. You don't know our last names, do you? Sweeney and Gaskell. Oh, yeah, you do. But you think she's Sweeney. I do. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's close enough. Flula, we just learned that you were involved in the Kumail kerfuffle. Yes, it's a kumaruffle. Yes. Jean-Paul Bouc, who works at the show, did text me as a very... J.P. Buck. Okay, yeah. Okay, yeah.

He works. Potato, patuto. Yeah. He did text me and saying, listen, you know, if perhaps you are free to be here in the next 24 minutes, maybe you can help participate in this show. And what were you doing at the time that you got the call? I was very sweaty in the middle of some pull-up and dip combos. Okay. Is that true?

Yes. You were working out? Oh, yes, yes, yes. So you were camera ready? Well, I was camera shy, but also camera ready. Don't film me, but film me, you know. So what did you I said yes of course

he said hail Mary try so I didn't know what this meant so you were going to give it the college try and get there the university attempt

yes but then I heard very quickly that you guys had found a wonderful solution and I love and so now of course I'm so happy she was here

okay but you were willing to come in you weren't like hey I already paid for this personal training session. I would say, sorry for this early cancel. See you in Burbank. See, that's the attitude. You know, I really feel like that's the attitude that guests should have.

Can I say something? I was listening before because I was literally one meter and five meters away from both of you. Sona is great because she's like Bran from Game of Thrones. You know, everyone for eight seasons is fighting for the throne. And like the one person is like, who doesn't want it? Doesn't want it. It's like staring at birds, you know, just sitting around. I mean, I know he's handicapped, but you know what I mean?

Still sitting around also in a metaphorical way for many ways. And then he receives, he's the king. Yes. So is Sona, is she the king. Yes. That's right. Is she the next? She's the new host. Yeah. Yeah.

And people are hearing it here first on the show. But that's a good, I think that's a good way to live is to just not want things. Yeah. And then maybe someone will notice that and like that about you. But then you have to be okay if nobody gives you that pop talk you've been wanting. Right. That it's okay. Because usually it doesn't happen like that.

That's correct. If you don't want it to begin with, you will be okay. You never know. That's good. I hope so. Philosophy. I like it. So were you relieved when you found out, oh, okay, they're going to put someone else on?

Or were you like, ah, I was really excited to try to run over there and just go on the show totally unprepared? Did you, I want to imagine you opening your closet and having just a wall of fanny packs and then you were paralyzed by having to make a decision of which fanny pack to wear. This is the only challenge. My fanny packs were away from me. It's like, you know, like if Wolverine wakes up and his adamantium claws are like in another village, you know, so my fanny packs were away from me. It's like, you know, like if Wolverine wakes up and his adamantium claws are like in another village, you know. So my fanny packs were not near me. So that was the only problem. You should keep one in the car.

I do now. Okay, good. I did have my first date fanny. So my FAF was there. I could have grabbed this one. But I can tell you, Michael, it's a win-win if you are doing nice pumps and getting a cardiovascular jump in the body. Or you can hang out with Conan. These are two wins. Yes. Yes or

no, I was in a winning situation. And both get your heart rate up. Oh, very high. Many BPMs. How many fanny packs, which you wear all the time, how many do you actually own? 42 now. So, Dirk Nowitzki plus one, if we're using jersey numbers in basketball.

You did something with Dirk, didn't you? Well, that sounds inappropriate. Yes. We spent some time together. He's irresistible. Oh, he is simply irresistible. He's six foot nine. Oh, he's all 70.

Oh, is he? He's a seven footie. Oh, my God. Right under. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oh, he's amazing. Don't subtract that inch.

Sorry, man. Keep it in. You know, I'm threatened by men who are taller than me. Uh-oh. Well, this is rare. You are an above-the-averages heights. You're like the Michael Phelps of riders. Yes, I hear that all the time. In that you'll

have a demise soon. A quick comeback. A very quick comeback. No? Yeah. Okay. Wait, so how was it for you guys during the Kufwaffe? Were you guys panicked? Were you having a fun time? I had no idea.

It was, you know, the writers were a little bit, we were just kind of trying to piece things together via emails. Via the emails. It just seemed like something kooky was happening. Yeah. Because I happened to be in the monologue meeting right before the show. So it all just kind of evolved right there. No, I love that stuff.

Yeah, we were watching it play out on TV. I wish guests wouldn't show up every day. Well, Sweeney, I think you might get your wish. Yeah, perfect. I don't know. It was just, it was weird to me. I thought, like, I didn't know you were allowed to just not come. That never happens.

Is that an option? Oh, yeah. Has someone ever been sick before? This was the other thing. Yes, but usually that's a lot more notice, I think. We've had guests cancel because they're on the East Coast and they were going to fly in and their plane was canceled. That happened one time, yeah. And then you check the plane schedule and go, oh, it took off on time.

But, you know, so it's usually very dramatic. It's usually not, hey, we're 20 minutes away in Marina Del Rey. Well, and Conan also explained this, but usually, I mean, there used to be two guests on the show every night. So you could at least. Make the two number one yes exactly right have a long conversation with a d-lister but you'd you'd still ouch shots fired at several guests over several years uh no but they'd still scramble to get someone else to talk to, usually. Oh, yeah. I can tell you, I am surprised this is like the first time. Of all the years, of all the times, this is a very high bad, bad average.

Yeah, yeah. No, people have not shown up. And I think Jennifer Lopez didn't show up. Oh, J-Lo. Yeah, yeah. Early on. Early on, way before A-Rod. Oh, A-Rod.

Oh, and Ben Affleck. Yeah, affleck yeah yeah yeah people she didn't show up oh i didn't know yeah yeah that's amazing and i think once lugas junior left oh he was there he saw the opening monologue i i swear to god there was something on the show that he was offended by i'm just like that's it i'm I'm leaving. Lukas it Junior. Yes. The karate from that one film, I'm a karate instructor. Exactly, that's the actual title. Yeah, I'm a karate instructor.

I don't know what it was in Germany. It was just called Karaka. Oh, I was going to say, I feel like Conan probably felt very virile in this moment because we did the live shows and he like loves it when things are not clear and improvised and who knows what will happen or what

yes and Andy too Andy loves it oh yes yeah but you were on the tour with Conan yes what a segue oh yeah not beautiful unintentionally oh what oh no no I witnessed it in the first hands and second hands.

Yeah. Well, just to clarify, you were on the live comedy tour when they went all over the U.S. Yes. And did stand-up shows. 18 City Tour. And you guys, you and Conan would end the show with something that was great. Conan, we'd bring up the lights in the crowd. And Conan would go, you know what, I'll take up the lights in the crowd. And Conan would go, you know what?

I'll take questions from anyone in the crowd. And he'd send you, Flula, out with a microphone. Yes. And you two were an amazing ad lib team, I thought. Oh, yeah. Your question moderating was legendary. Yes. Thank you.

We heard a lot about it. Oh, yes. I like Phil Donahue with a microphone just running around the crowd. No, you're really funny though. And you would go all through the orchestra section and then, not to give short shrift to the balcony, you'd run. I, it seemed, I don't know how you did it. I guess all the, all the squats. You ran upstairs and then you did the whole crowd upstairs.

Yes. But I always like 15 minutes and I'd be like, how are they going to dismount from this? That was always my wonder, too. Would you also get worried? Or were you like, oh, that's Conan's problem? Or would you feel equally responsible for the dismount, for how to get out? But I have no control of this.

I think Conan has to say, okay, and scene. Right. But then like in the song, we go back to the coder and we do something. And I was like, oh, I think Conan has to say Okay and scene Right But then like in the song We go back to the coder And we do something And I was like Oh I thought we were done Right

But he is so I think wants to Give as many people Attention as possible Right But then I'm like Oh but we should We should stop

Right We got our We got our blackout line Oh the blackout line Is here Everyone two shots of vodka Let's go go go Yeah

There were times like that Where I was watching and thinking the same thing. Like, ooh, that was. And it's like, ah, who else? And it's like, ah. Yeah. And then you have to kind of, and then it would dip down a bit. Yes, it would. For a few minutes.

And then you'd panic. Panic at the disco. Yes. Absolutely. But every time he did it. Every single, every time. It was, I have to say, very impressive. Yeah, I agree.

It was fun to do. Thank you for letting me join this wonderful trip. Sure. I don't think we had anything to do with it. I fought against you vehemently. I appreciate it. I deserve all of the hate. And you, in Chicago, Taylor Tomlinson was one of the comics.

Yes. And she apparently was obsessed with the American, is it American Girl? American Girl dolls. Yes. And you, did you go with her? So, no, they purchased two American Girl dolls. Ah, okay. And then, so, I didn't realize they were two.

And then Taylor could select one. Is Taylor 11? I don't know. I'm seriously asking. She then Taylor could select one. Is Taylor 11? I don't know. I'm seriously asking. She's very young. Yes. She has a young heart. She does.

And she has always, I think, been obsessed. I think as a child, if you are not super wealthy, then an American doll is like the same as purchasing a new car. Right. Yeah. Right. So as an adult, she was excited still because child. Now she can finally afford it. Oh, yeah.

Baby Taylor was like super pumped. Yeah. And then I just like to take care of living things, even if they are not living. And so when there was an extra baby left, Conan gave to me Kid Kittredge. Oh, that's nice. That's one of the dolls, Kid Kittredge. Well, she's my daughter. Okay.

Yeah. And so I have a baby Bjorn and everything. Have you gone to the Grove where you can have tea with your American Girl doll? No, I don't. my daughter. Okay. Yeah. And so I have a baby Bjorn and everything. And so. Have you gone to the Grove where you can have tea with your American Girl doll? No, I don't. I'm worried if there's some caffeine in the tea. So we've avoided this. Okay.

We go to a Whole Foods. Can I ask, have you vaccinated her? Twice. Okay. Yeah. Both arms. I was worried when you said the tea thing that you might be an anti-vaxxer. I'm not an anti-vaxxer. I think everything should be vaccinated.

Truly. Like all things. Okay. Living, non-lxxer. I'm not an anti-vaxxer. I think everything should be vaccinated. Truly, like all things. All things. Living, non-living. Living, non-living, furniture. Good. Yeah, yeah. Shoot it. Shoot it with a syringe.

Good. Excellent. So, and yeah, you wore her in a baby Björg the whole... The entire trip. Oh, wow. That is a real commitment

to a bit. Yes. Where is she now? She's in the automobile with the windows down and the system up. Well, you're very attentive. Well, it's like, have you seen Last of the Mohicans? I mean, at some point I saw it.

Yeah, I saw some of it on TV where he was running. He was just running. Well, there's a moment. Okay, so that happened. But then also he's there with his siblings and father. And they're like, oh, and his lover. His lover's there, and he's like, I will find you. I will find you.

It's a wonderful. Is this the last thing? Oh, yeah, yeah. I did not want this moment with Kit, so I kept her. Oh, I see. Okay. Okay, I was wondering. I didn't know where that was going.

I thought you'd just change the topic. No, no, no. Dramatically. It's connected. Well, so Flula, you have a lot of good American pop culture references. Oh, did you grow up watching a lot of American movies and TV? So in Germany, we have one American channel as a child. It was called the Armed Forces Network, which was an army channel, a military channel from America.

But we could still get it because it was on the antenna. So I watch a lot of, I watched a lot of- Armed Forces television. Armed Forces network. And so it was also very old. Everything was many years old. So I am, I know the knowledge of a 55 to 60 year old American person. Oh, wow. That's great. So that's why you and Conan work so well together.

That's why we have vibration so good. Yeah. We vibrate so good. But yeah, I mean, who, like, were you interested in comedy from an early age? I mean, who are some of your sort of comedy influences? I still don't understand how comedy works. So I can't really tell you about this. I can only tell you of films I did love that I saw die hard. Yes, that's a comedy. I find it very hilarious.

Oh, yes, Mr. Takagi. It's a good, funny Christmas movie. It's very funny and very Christmas. Yeah. So I love this very much. And also old films like Fury. Do you remember Fury from the 1950s? It's a black and white with a horse who's just running around in the pasture.

No. Okay. I know that was big on the American Armed Forces Network. Yeah, you met. It was. We did not get that. You did not get that. So Fury the American Armed Forces Network. Yeah, you met. It was. We did not get that in the United States. You did not get that. So Fury, what else?

Fury. Oh, of course, MacGyver. Yeah. Yeah. I love MacGyver. The A-Team. The A-Team. A-Team.

Oh, yeah. All the songs, all the shows where Mike Post was the man who wrote the theme songs. Oh. Yeah. Oh. Your big Post head. A-Team. Yeah. Your big Post head. 18. Did he do sitcoms?

I don't think he did. Only action things. And there's always like a breakdown. Oh, that's great. Oh, man, he's so good. Is he still alive? Michael Post? Yeah. I've not Googled. Oh, I feel like you should meet him. He might live on your street here in LA.

Stop the presses. Yes, Mike Post. Mike Post could be here. Yes. Okay. We're going to connect you to Mike Post. Really? We're going to use our powers.

Use that Conan power? Yeah. Yes. I would love this. He'd love to hear you hum his music in a German accent. I can do this. Oh, I would love it. Yeah.

I can do many of those. We buried the lead, obviously, that you grew up in Germany. I did, yes. In a small town? Erlangen. So it's the closest sister city. They're not sisters. But the closest city is Nürnberg, which has 600,000.

But Erlangen is like, I don't know, 100,000 humans. It's a university town. Oh. Yeah, a home of many asparagus. The inventor of the MP3 worked at the university there. Really? Oh, yeah, not the AIFF. Yeah, yeah.

No, no, no, the MP3. Okay. Did your parents work at the university? Yes, my mother did. Oh. She worked for a translator. Oh. Yeah, yeah, so she knows some English as well.

Okay. Oh, yeah. And then my father worked for siemens which is also based in erlangen siemens it's like the ge of germany right oh right right yeah anyway everyone is tuned out at this point but this is true i'm sorry i asked well because your english is so perfect oh that is yeah that's a kindness and also a fib. Wait, where are you guys from in the origins? I'm from outside Munich. You're from München?

Yeah. Garmisch-Partenkirchen? I'm from New Jersey, which would be like Frankfurt, maybe. I don't know. What's the area that everyone makes fun of? That everyone avoids? Yes. East Germany.

It was probably like... Yeah, which I mean, now it's becoming good now it's becoming right of course yeah but as a child east germany was well we weren't allowed we avoided it because you just couldn't get how far were you from east germany we are some ways yeah several hours okay yeah yeah yeah i was on the west side okay west side you know what they say except Germany Nuremberg okay Nuremberg yeah Nuremberg where are you from, Jessie? We moved around a lot when I was a kid because my dad worked for the State Department. Oh. Cool.

Now I just say I'm from the central coast of California. Oh, that's so vague. Yeah. Just somewhere on the fault line. Near San Luis Obispo. Oh, slow. Near slow, yeah. I've been too slow.

Yeah. Did you go to the Madonna Inn? What is... Oh, it's the crazy rooms. Like the pony, ridden pony lodge. Yeah. Yeah. It's, yeah. I've been too slow. Yeah, did you go to the Madonna Inn? What is, oh, it's a crazy room. It's like the pony, ridden pony lodge. Yeah. It's really crazy. I've never been.

Okay. We stayed there, but made a reservation very late, so the room was really dull. It was like the miner's room, and they had like a pick and an ax that they painted gold, and it's like. They phoned that one in. Yeah, they really phoned it in. That's a cheap one. It was bad. Yeah.

Yeah. Just a wagon. $39 a night. Okay. Well, that seems so your dad worked for the state department. Did you spend time in Germany? No,

he didn't. No, it was Latin America. Okay, cool. Wow. But yeah, but I also grew up on satellite TV,

American TV. So that was my references were all from just watching like eight hours of TV a day after school. Really? Yeah. What was your show favorite? Oh, I mean, I was the, there was a block that was like, there were two Fresh Princes and then two Saved by the Bells. And then a couple of Full Houses. Oh, yes.

That sounds like TBS now. Yeah. It hasn't changed at all. This is a current network's programming. I like that. I watched MTV. I would come here sometimes. So my parents are teachers.

Right. So we would have a summer free. And so we would sometimes come to America. And so what would happen is I would watch some television there. So I got the new stuff, which was MTV had the blocks. When you said blocks, I thought you meant MTV of old, where they have like the rock block. And so it's like only rock and then the rap block occurs. But they had Euro MTV, didn't they?

MTV Europe. And we also had Viva, which is like German. It sounds good, right? Yeah. We both very much liked this. Oh, Viva. But Viva is also not a German. It sounds good, right? Yeah. We both very much liked this. Oh, Viva. But Viva is also not a German word. That's interesting.

Yeah, it's true. I think we like, maybe all countries like it, like a word that you know kind of a little bit. Right. But that is not your own. It's exotic. Right, right. Uber. Yeah, that's right.

It's like more German than English. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Uber, yeah. Lift with a Y. Do they have Uber in Germany? Yes. Okay. In Berlin. So in my city, no, we are too tiny. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Uber, yeah. Lift with a Y. Do they have Uber in Germany? Yes. Okay. In Berlin.

So in my city, no, we are too tiny. Oh, yeah. But we had like a deal with the taxi drivers. They are also Ubers. It was a whole kitty caboodle, as you say. Oh, right, right. Yeah. It's the same thing here, of course.

Yes, yes, yes. Yes. Wow. And we went to Germany with you. We did go. Yeah. Yes, we three were in a bus. For a lot of, yeah, for a week.

We did for a week and Conan was also there. We spent the whole time basically in Berlin. We did. Yeah. We did. Which was fun. Great, yeah. Had you spent a lot of time there before?

No. So it's like New York City in Germany. It's like the New York City of Germany. Right, right, right, right. The big pretzel. The big pretzel. The big pretzel. That's what they call it. We were on a nude beach with you.

Yes. I somehow blocked that out. I know, how did we? I think everybody shot. We were surrounded by, I don't know, 60 totally naked people who didn't care. There were two cameras. That we were filming them. Shooting close-ups.

Of crotches. Of their genitalia. I mean, if you're going to be naked on a beach, I think part of you is like, come and get it. Yeah, please. You want people to see. You're right. It's a dream come true when the cameras show up. Oh, yeah, please.

Thank you, thank you. Well, Germany is different with the nudity, I will tell you. Like, as a child, we had TV guides, the German TV, like Bunte or what. Every cover was just a nude lady. It's not a porno magazine. It was just so someone will purchase the television guide. It's just topless lady. I'm good with this, the TV guide.

And nudity in Europe, it really goes by country, right? Like the northern countries, Germany and the Scandinavian countries, totally. Who cares? All the covers are naked. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whereas I think Italy and Spain they're much more are they more covered

smothered in cover they're smothered in cover like the Waffle House I believe so potatoes I think so I'm not so much I mean I'm nude all the time

right generally right but I don't and I was a child when I was in Spain so I don't remember my eye level was knees

so I never looked to see if the genitalia were you know screaming at me. But Germans really, I wonder why. I wonder why there's such pioneers in the nude lifestyle. Well, in East Germany, very common to just go out and get nudie-tootie on the weekends. Like you would just find a random creek or forest and just disrobe.

Yeah. And we did it in West Germany also. I think it's like oh it's a little cold sometimes so when it's warm we should get super duper nudie right but i don't know what is the cultural reason we we have reasons for things that make no sense but there is always a reason warmth yeah but so if you couldn't find a forest or a creek yeah could you just walk around the city like that or no that that's where you draw the line. Public pool, yes.

Okay. So the Freibad, which means the free bath. It's not free. You have to pay. But there's always a section. It's like the section where the nudity is, which to me is silly. It's like the airplane when there was no smoking and a smoking section. Right.

It always spills over. Yes. Yeah. You can smell the smokes. You can see the cleavages. Like it's not like a wall or something. That's a good analogy. Thank you.

You can dip your toe in and then dip back out. Yeah. But yeah, so you were, I think, maybe one of the first non-Conan staff people to come with us on a travel show. Oh, yeah. That was very fun. What did you, I mean, what was that experience like for you well it was all everyone is very kind and very normal i was waiting for like one insane person

and it was everyone maybe that was me it's like when they say who's the stranger it's no one else look in the mirror right yeah which when chili peppers were staying at our hotel that's right yeah that's what we've talked about that because we've run into them in other countries. Really? In Australia, we were staying at their same hotel, too. So your cycles are in sync. Yes. It's plausible they're stalking us, right?

Yeah, or vice versa. They're so bored with their own careers at this point. Anthony Kiedis is just dying for a selfie with Andy. Yes. I remember in Germany, they all came in their own separate vehicle, which was impressive. I hope they're still friends. That they each individually had a... Oh, yeah. I think they, yes, they all, it was staggered like 10 minutes apart. Very weird.

Well, after that many years, don't you think you've run out of small talk? Of course. I mean, I'm already kind of feeling that with you guys. Yeah. We've always checked our clock. But yeah, because there's an obligation for small, like on the bus we were driving around in Berlin. Right.

You have to kind of keep coming up with, I don't know, weather conversation. Weather, yeah, yeah. You know what you don't have from now on? You're released. You can sit in silence, put your headset on and just go for it. Just relax. You can watch Fury on a...

Fury! On your iPad. I will do it. Well, and Jose would sketch me. Jose would write. He was another writer. You were his muse. Well, for one ride, for one trip from the beer house to the pool. I interrupted you. You were mid.

You had inhaled and exhaled a syllable. I was just going to say, also, we did a Schupplattler segment, which we all loved. And you used to do that dancing, didn't you, as a child? Yes. Oh, wow. Yes. So as a child, my first introduction to entertainment was to be a Schupladler. And a Schupladler

is when you're slapping your legs and your hands in a weird way and a paparapapipapo. Yeah. Right. And dressed in laterhosen. Sort of like accordion music. Yes. It's a traditional folk dance. That's true. Yes. And I'm from North Bavaria and it's more Bavarian. It was like, you know, when you

have to join the weird culture thing from your other ancestors. Right. Because you have to do it. This was this. Nobody did this in my house, but I was forced to Schuhplattler my face off. Oh, man. Where is it? Are there different levels?

Is it like a beauty contest? Like you go to the nationals? Yes, it's like you're different color lederhosen for each. Like, is there a pitch perfect for... Oh. For Schuhplattler? I do not know. I do not, not when I was a child. It was more like, it's funsy, you know?

It's not like, who is the champion of the slapping? Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah, so not competitive. I don't think so. Schuhplattling. No, no, it should not be. It's just fun.

Do you think that's something that you would pass on to your future children? Like a virus? Yeah, I would do it. Yeah, yeah. Yes, I would. I would not enter bags for this. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I would do it.

I think it's a very important thing to know, like, why do we do this? Because Germans, we're a little awkward in the eyes of other countries, I think. Right. We should perpetuate this. And it's because of the dancing. I think it's the beginning I think. Right. We should perpetuate this. And it's because of the dancing. I think it's the beginning. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, being German and being in LA, is there a German community here? Are there expats here? Well, I think, yeah. Do you actually reach out to each other? So I think because Los Angeles is so large, there's a tiny community of all the people. Sure.

But yes, but there is one for Germany. Butans are very interesting we when we see each other like if you are traveling and i see you i know you are german we know you know right away we do not say hi oh yeah you just acknowledge no no you don't even acknowledge no zero we both know it is like if you have like a like a like it's like magic johnson and lar, you know, now they are friends in high five. But in like the 80s, if they saw each other in the supermarket, if like Magic Johnson was trying to purchase some cauliflower and Larry Bird sees there are Brussels sprouts nearby, he would just purchase the Brussels sprouts and never look at Magic. But they already knew each other. I don't know if this really analogy works. Well, we smell each other.

We can smell it. Well, because you're competitive? Is that why? I do not know. It's like. I don't know if this really analogy works. Well, we smell each other. We can smell it. Because you're competitive? Is that why? I do not know. I'm the German here. I think a little bit like, no, no, this was me to explore this. I'm exploring this aisle. Get away. Maybe none of them are German. Maybe, I mean, since you

never acknowledge each other, we don't really know. Sorry, Birkenstock and Socks. I do think you're the only German I've ever met in Los Angeles. You said Birkenstock and Socks.. I do think you're the only German I've ever met in Los Angeles. Wait, you said Birkenstock and socks. Okay. Yeah, yeah. This combination.

I have to sometimes say things over again in my head. Yeah. Yes. Okay. Who does this in America? Maybe now it will be cool, but it's. Yeah. No, you know.

So we. Oh, the socks with sandals. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But doesn't that narrow it down to like seven or eight? Or is that specifically German? I just. Well, it's a beginning. It, yeah, yeah. But doesn't that narrow it down to like seven or eight? Or is that specifically German? Well, it's a beginning. It's just a little. Look, if you are from.

It's your first tip. You are from the dirty Jersey, as you say. Yes, yes. Well, you know when another Jersey person. We do. Yes. You know, you're right. And we don't acknowledge each other.

Oh, that's so funny. Okay. So it's not just the Germans. I apologize. It's fine. Okay. There's a new place open up in my neighborhood that is a beer garden that only serves vegan food. Highland Pork?

Yeah. I've been there. How do you feel about a German vegan restaurant? It's confusing. It seems like you can't do both of those things. It fascinates me. I mean, I really like the, it has a beautiful patio, but the food, it's schnitzel, but vegan schnitzel. In the quote 80s.

Yeah, yeah. Ah, it's fine. Look, if it's tasty, it's tasty. It's, but yeah, it's a little weird. But whose idea was that? I mean, was it, was it German people, do you think, or did they just kind of? I wonder. I actually do not know. Perhaps someone like saw a German person once and said, I'm going to make a restaurant. Yeah. I think LA first needs a good conventional German beer garden before you jump off. And I'm not aware of any. The Red Lion.

The Red Lion, yeah. The Red Lion, okay. That's in Silver Lake? Yes. Very specific now this podcast is going. But yes, it's in Silver Lake. We always end up getting into zip codes. Is that 90027 or 2A?

It's 27. All right. Yeah, that's right. Directly off of Glendale. Okay, just to clarify. And the waitresses and waiters, well, the waitresses are all German that I know. Oh, okay. They have been there.

They are veterans. Yeah. Yeah. Do you ever go there? I mean. So that's where the diaspora is. Is a who? The expats, the German expats.

Yeah. Well, and many Americans, you know, you may watch your football there. You're German. You're not American. Right. Not the weird ball. Yeah. But I do not purchase a beer there.

I always purchase the whiskey there because they pour it like it is a beer. Like it has foam on it? No's very large oh okay they're whiskeys yeah and the rice bullet rice it's fine yeah what a great shout out for the pro tip red lion uh yeah that's all i got So, well, okay. So, what would you have promoted if you had come on to the Conan Show last week? Oh, I would have promoted my new song, my new single. It's called Self-Care Sunday. Oh, my God.

Oh, yeah. We haven't even talked about your music career. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, I began as a musician with, like, shoe platter stuff. sunday oh my god oh yeah we we haven't even talked about your your music career oh wow yeah yeah so i mean i began as a musician with like shoe platter stuff and so then this became a segue like the tiny two-wheel machine into other fun uh locations and so yes but i'm i yeah so what do you so i mean would you say primarily now you are a dj or you are a DJ or you compose or what's, how do we describe you? I have a very, I do not know. Okay.

And as I think, have you seen Cordell Stewart play football for the Pittsburgh Steelers in approximately 1998? No. He was called. I saw him in 97. Okay, got it. Stop. He was called- I saw him in 97. Okay, got it. Stop. And then lost interest. He was called Slash. And because Cordell, he could play a little bit as a quarterback, but also catch a little

bit of the ball and sometimes a little bit of a safety thing. So I was like, I would like to be like this, except in the world. So I'm trying to do all kinds of weird things. I do not know what is occurring. My brain is just having an interest. And then I dive in deep, like Amerigo Vespucci. Yeah. That's fantastic.

Yeah. So you're just, you're, you're just flula. I'm flula-ing it up right now. Why am I trying to put you in a box? You can do it. And if it is a large enough box, I will not mind. So did you write this song? I did.

I was with three of my friends, Jim Roach and then Ivan and Peter who are, well, they live in a U-boat and they love techno like me. And so the four of us wrote the song Self-Care Sunday. Yeah. It's very fun. It's about, you know, self-care. Yeah. That's very trendy right now. So super trendy.

And so I was like, hey, is there a wave? Let me get my board surf and get on there, you know, like Kelly Slater and do it. So, yeah. Can we hear any of this song? Yeah, of course. Shall we play just the beginning? What do you guys think? Whatever you want to play for us.

I would say you guys can edit this to get a piece of the bling blong. Okay. Okay. Who's a scant and booty in my bed? What's with all the pounding in my head? Missed all of my good friend Drake's texts Yo Floosh, you up? Let's ball! Put my phonezee on the airplane mode

Is that, I mean, is that the song of the summer? I think it's a song of the midsummer. Yeah, because I think summer started six weeks ago.

Yeah, the equinox has passed. So perhaps we can catch the midsummer action. But I think there's still, I mean, I don't know what the song of the summer action but there i think there's still i mean i i don't know what the song of the summer is so i think there's an opening i agree i thought it was old town road but this is right but it is a little old it has been around so perhaps this can be taylor swift was gonna have one oh what happened she said i don't know oh she sort of did there was that one the gay pride one right but there But there was backlash. Then there was backlash. There was backlash on the gay pride song?

Because, yeah, she was trying to usurp. Or hesitant. Okay. Well, I can tell you, I do believe in self-care. And I am a self-carer. Oh, good. Good. No, you can hear the passion in your lyrics.

Yeah. Would you hear this? Yes. Yes. It's not, you are not detached from this whole endeavor. Oh, I'm fully strapped on. Absolutely. What do you do for self-care?

No. For real. Yeah, I enjoy acupuncture. Really? Oh, yes. I enjoy some meditation in a field. Oh. And I will, if it is early in the morning, I will go to the Silver Lake Meadow, it's called, and I will be nude.

Oh. No one to see it but the coyotes. Oh, my God. Really? Yeah, coyotes, many of them. Wow. So if people want to see you nude. Yeah.

And then it's just free time. Yes. And then sometimes you think, oh, will the other people, will the other person you're canceling on care? No, they're getting the same experience. Yes.

Times 10. Yes, in my case. Okay. We all want it. Do you like it if you are canceled if you cancel or do you enjoy it

No, I'd love to see you in uniform. Just wearing General Patton or something. Yeah. I would kill it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

A little Eisenhower. Yes, yes. Perfect. Oh, I could be a great Ike. I agree with you. And I'm very jealous that it was popular in the 80s or something. Late 80s. D-Day, D-Day, D-Day.

Maybe we'll declare war in Germany again and there'll be a whole new. Oh, I think that's a possibility. I think we're close. Opening for new war movies with Germans. Yes, we're three idiotic tweets away. Yeah. Or Angela's going to invade us. Angela's done.

She's done? I think she's over everything. Over it. I saw a photo of the G20 with her and Ding Dong. Right. She's like, this is true. Just get me out of the town. She has a successor.

I mean, just hand it over. Hand it over. Not in a bad way. I think she's just put in the time. She's so tired. Oh, she's earned it. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, she'll move here. I was going to ask. Yes, what are we going to ask? Oh, do you ever get asked, like in auditions and stuff, are you asked if you can do accents? Are you asked if you could do an American accent? Yes, I get asked very much. Yes.

And you say no. I say I try and it sounds terrifying. I think one or two times I've been hypnotized and I can do it. It's like, you know, Colin Firth in that like King Talking Kings. Oh, God, yes. What's it called? King's Speech. King's Speech. Yes. know colin firth and that like king king talk talking king what's it called a game of king speech king speech you know like he plays that like glenn miller stuff and then he's like dropping f bombs like really really clean i think that's me with like an american accent i could do it if you

hypnotized me or played some like you know pennsylvania six five thousand or maybe you can sing in an american accent. Sometimes other artists can sing. It goes away a little bit because it's like, like when you do this, you can lose your accent a little bit. So if I was like, what Celine Dion with the Titanic, like my heart will sink or what? I could sing this probably pretty good without an accent. Yeah.

Yeah. So yes, I do have one very bad. Like there's like, Well, that's what, who talked to me? That's what I always notice is when people from other countries do an American accent, it's often a Southern accent. Yes. Hey, everybody, what are you doing? Yeah.

Yeah. So, that's like my best. That's what I think a Pennsylvania person. That was Minnesota. That was Minnesota. Yeah, you saw. Michael, you could hear it. Yes.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But I do get it asked many times. But why do it when they are you know why would i do it well and also you provide you provide a service yes exactly yes yes and maybe it's very niche and you have to hope that there are roles for um you know for quirky germans strange confused german persons yeah who knows if i continue the hypnosis who knows maybe i will be able to branch out like the tree of life.

Have you ever been hypnotized? Yeah, twice. Oh, really? Yeah, which is weird because there's a song by Biggie Smalls called Hypnotize. And they play this. It was a specific hypnosis therapist. They would play this song, Biggie, Biggie, Biggie, can't you see? Sometimes your words are sacred.

And then they're doing this while also doing like the little shaky shing shang. And then I was out. And Biggie's words hypnotized you. They did so deep. Yeah. So this wasn't for therapy. It was just a stunt. Yeah.

This was a version of like, let's see what happens. And what happened? I was speaking in a perfect American accent. What? Apparently, this is what they've told me. And then, yeah, I was doing a lot of shimmying. And I knew a lot of trivia for things I really do not know about, which was very weird. But you do know a lot of trivia.

Yeah, but I have some black holes, you know, like in space. Like what subjects? Like I don't know all of the players from the 1993 North Carolina Men's Basketball Championship team. Okay. I wasn't going to bring it up. You shouldn't. I only know the three centers. Okay. But that's it. So. Wow.'t going to bring it up. You shouldn't. I only know the three centers. Okay. But that's it.

So. Fine, I'll tell you. It's Eric Montross and Kevin Salvadori and Matt Wenstrom was the third string. Okay. Oh my god. Wow, I happen to know those three and that's exactly right. Amazing. Those are your guests, your dream guests. Exactly.

The three centers. Well, we're very, I mean, can you tell us again when your single comes out? Oh, thank you for this reminding of a vlog. Yes. Yes. So July 23 is the single or the music video is released. And you can hear it early if you're excited on the audio places on July 19. Oh, cool.

It should come out on a Sunday, I think. Sunday. Sunday. Sunday. Well, sometimes it, you know, with the. I know it doesn't work that way. You know the international date line. Yes. Greenwich.
