[SPEAKER_05]: Welcome to Confident Landscape, the podcast where we're absolutely sure we don't know everything.
[SPEAKER_05]: What a fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_05]: This feels almost like ASMR, like chill.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is almost like smooth listening.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is not your regular podcast episode of Confident Landscape.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think I would fall asleep to this.
[SPEAKER_00]: We got a little running water in the background.
[SPEAKER_00]: In your voice.
[SPEAKER_00]: In my soothing, you're about to fall asleep.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, don't feel good.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is like Monday morning.
[SPEAKER_00]: We need to know the energy we're making.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, in case you're like, what's going on?
[SPEAKER_05]: Where to heck are you?
[SPEAKER_05]: We are currently in Germany, in Munich, in fact, and we are at the lovely soothing aesthetic, peaceful central park could never English gardens, which
[SPEAKER_05]: I didn't know, okay, I'm just going to come out and say it.
[SPEAKER_05]: I feel like I just need to be addressed early on is like, how nice.
[SPEAKER_05]: The unique and Germany and like Europe is, and of course, yes, every country has its trash.
[SPEAKER_05]: But the further further I get away from American culture, the more I'm like,
[SPEAKER_05]: what we were raised to believe was normal and nice and elite and luxury and the greatest country in the world.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm like, we hate each other.
[SPEAKER_05]: We treat each other like shit.
[SPEAKER_05]: The subways are disgusting.
[SPEAKER_05]: Everything's dirty.
[SPEAKER_05]: We don't care about our environment.
[SPEAKER_05]: The ice cap from melting because of us, I would see no peace or trash in this entire park now that I think about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think you got to remember this is the population as well as.
[SPEAKER_00]: U.S.
[SPEAKER_00]: has so many damn people and infrastructure is tough to hold up, but I still I digress.
[SPEAKER_05]: I still digress.
[SPEAKER_05]: And in case you haven't caught on by now, we have a special guest this episode.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we are.
[SPEAKER_05]: So, we are with the athlete, aka Henny, aka Henrik, aka my boyfriend.
[SPEAKER_00]: Your boyfriend.
[SPEAKER_05]: My boyfriend.
[SPEAKER_05]: The boyfriend.
[SPEAKER_05]: And we were like, let's do something special.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's have the first ever confidently insecure.
[SPEAKER_05]: podcast in the park episode.
[SPEAKER_05]: We've never been anywhere beside the studio for this podcast before.
[SPEAKER_05]: So this is kind of special ground breaking you might say yeah or park breaking yeah and in case you're hearing geese in the background the thing about the English what's this we called the English or Gotham English garden is that there's this giant river
[SPEAKER_05]: And the way honey got me to go here and be like down with it is that he said people jump in this ice cold river and just like float down it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because the current is actually very fast and literally it's not easy river.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have to it's like about I don't know way steep.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no shoulder.
[SPEAKER_05]: Nah, wait a chest.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, chest deep.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you can't touch if you need to touch.
[SPEAKER_05]: But it's freezing.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you just.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, if you just float like, you know,
[SPEAKER_00]: floating down river.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, bring it out the floaty, you know, chilling, having a few drinks with the boys here.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like you jump in and you're like, if you're watching us on YouTube.com.com there, you can see how fast and this is like the shallow.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this isn't even the one where they float down.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the like off off the ship and all.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I was like, hell yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: So I got to Munich six days ago.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is my seven day and we're here with the booth visiting because we had spent two moments apart.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I said, if I don't go now, I don't know that I'm going to be able to go.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: And this is housekeeping.
[SPEAKER_05]: Being bound.
[SPEAKER_02]: Housekeeping.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're in
[SPEAKER_05]: How are you feeling?
[SPEAKER_05]: How's your life?
[SPEAKER_05]: Has it?
[SPEAKER_05]: Has Munich been for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Munich's been great.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've only been here for the last few weeks, actually, because I've been in the UK for since end of June.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you went to Ireland?
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was in Belfast for a week.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I've been all over place for a couple of hours.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, soccer.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I
[SPEAKER_00]: previously lived a Munich for around a year, year and a bit, when I had surgery, I had to surgery out here, did all my rehab out here and the head.
[SPEAKER_05]: We have been in America, I mean, you had a drug problem.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like physio, what do you want to do?
[SPEAKER_00]: Physical therapy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, physical therapy after my surgery, not the other kind of rehab.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's the rehab I went to.
[SPEAKER_00]: As much as I'm sure I would benefit in some way from it.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, you're gonna have to be a rehab going.
[SPEAKER_03]: These motherfuckers are fucked up.
[SPEAKER_03]: I still don't know how I got with such a straight edge.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I've been around the block in Munich, and I've always really liked the city.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I want to like the my literal main trainer that I had after my surgery, I came out here again just to do some work with him.
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's some clubs out here that I'm with for the moment, and we see what happens with that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but in the meantime, it was like, well, I don't want you to kind of assemble in because you're in that, you know, no shade, but it's not the nicest city and it's not the easiest to get to.
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, no shade, but it's cloudy there a lot and it's just like not the greatest city.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so you I mean, yeah, it's there's a nice beach, but that's about it.
[SPEAKER_05]: So when you're in Munich we were kind of like I have to go film the rest of this movie I've been shooting for the last like three or four years in Toronto coming up And it was kind of like if I didn't come now, I was never gonna be able to see you Yeah, yeah, and it was basically like okay, see you Christmas time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's about it So it's kind of like a last minute, but full scent.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the Munich is Gordina Yeah, I've almost personally not lived anywhere else in Germany Munich's only city.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've actually lived in I was previously in
[SPEAKER_00]: Austria, like Salzburg, which isn't too far from Munich.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I had a lot of cows.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd been there and visited Munich at that time back in the day when I was playing there.
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, Munich is a great kind of condensity, but also a lot of nature.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you can just get out and go.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I have no idea.
[SPEAKER_05]: Look, I'm going to be real with y'all.
[SPEAKER_05]: I had zero desire to ever go to Munich.
[SPEAKER_05]: Why would I care about going to Germany?
[SPEAKER_05]: What's in Germany that I would be interested in?
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm not German.
[SPEAKER_05]: I have no Germany in me.
[SPEAKER_05]: I haven't been in you.
[SPEAKER_05]: I've only, you know, known about the, the big problem that came from.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think I was obviously just coming here for you and now that I'm here, I'm like, I would live here in a heartbeat.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a very, very livable city.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Easy transport.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can around anywhere.
[SPEAKER_00]: No issues.
[SPEAKER_03]: Just talk about this in a way.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean,
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if you're coming from U.S.
[SPEAKER_00]: and you've never experienced any of European transport, then you're going to be in a crazy shock, but you're waiting five to 10 minutes minimum in your city for a train or something like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But in New York is like the pain of everybody's existence.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, the best way to say that there's like some ways that people use really, yeah, that's fair.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like on a day-to-day daily life, don't need a car basis.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: And these trains are never more than two minutes away.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: We have never waited more than two minutes.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the biggest gap on like the date like weekends where it's, you're on the outskirts of Munich.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like a five to ten minute between trains kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_05]: And these trains are clean as a doctor's office.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they are actually, I kind of forget about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: We joke about how like we keep seeing maintenance people like washing things down and scrubbing things.
[SPEAKER_05]: And as I'm in dirty, they're like little sims.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: They've got the city, city cleaning on.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it's they must be paying well or something because they got plenty plenty people in a in a zone for Imagine making a level of a wage can be us But like I sort of got I haven't seen any trash in this for sick and city I I'm in shock that I thought Central Park was sort of so gorgina and then you come here and they're like, oh This is a part this is a community park the community care is real The subway's unbelievable now
[SPEAKER_05]: We know German food isn't exactly like, no, for being like, you know, yeah, exquisite through the Italian or, you know, whatever you want to call it.
[SPEAKER_05]: A French culinary tree, but like, I'm going to have it a bad time eating sausages.
[SPEAKER_00]: And not a Bavarian is very specific.
[SPEAKER_00]: And for anybody not in the know, the area is the like, read South, South region of Germany.
[SPEAKER_00]: because Munich is very, very Southeast.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's basically like touching our means.
[SPEAKER_00]: An hour from Austria, quite close to Zurich, actually.
[SPEAKER_05]: We could apparently see the help from here.
[SPEAKER_05]: I just have to say no.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you just gotta get up high enough.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the very infoot is very specific.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, just think castle, you know, nights what you'd expect them to easily that is a traditional chicken.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, rose potatoes.
[SPEAKER_00]: Fire at the pork.
[SPEAKER_00]: Speaks.
[SPEAKER_05]: Speaks.
[SPEAKER_05]: We've been finding little pockets of here and there foods that are, you know, I made a big list.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know me whenever I want to go somewhere, I make a giant Google list.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: My Google Maps is just blasted with German flags because that's what the icon is for all her spots.
[SPEAKER_05]: But it's been a lovely trip thus far.
[SPEAKER_05]: I would love to come back.
[SPEAKER_05]: I would totally recommend it to people too.
[SPEAKER_00]: Even not just for October fest because I mean, October fest is about to come up and it actually starts in September and I'm about to leave September 20th.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's the first day you leave on the 11th or the 10th.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, but yeah, starts in September ends in October.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's three week long beer fest.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but it's very condensed to one area.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Theresa Visa, which is like,
[SPEAKER_00]: They see what you'd expect like a whole concert venue, but like 10 and I got everything you could ever think of, you know, like the road or not roller coasters, but just like random like kind of fair ride.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: And obviously, your gardens before all over the place, as far as I can see, there's never been a time where I couldn't get a pretzel anytime of one and one in the city, like there are pretzels on every corner.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you can find on anywhere.
[SPEAKER_05]: So it's been lovely being here and I'm not going to lie and I figured before we got into the meat and potatoes, no pun intended of this episode, which is the long-dong distance dang.
[SPEAKER_00]: Very long-dong.
[SPEAKER_05]: We made some games because you know I love a fucking game.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I love winning.
[SPEAKER_05]: I love winning.
[SPEAKER_05]: I love.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_05]: Competing.
[SPEAKER_05]: We've made a list of German words that I am going to guess because here's the thing German sounds very funny It's very harsh on the face.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're aggressive.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's very aggressive when I'm here people talk to each other I'm like, I think they're about to fight.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're about to throw hands, but they're not they're just talking They're like, wow, I'm so excited to see you happy birthday.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, yeah I have an older mate in when I was in LA for college and he was German and whenever he'd be talking with family
[SPEAKER_00]: I swear, I'd be like, you guys are both throw hands or something like this.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, guys, man, I don't even know how much Sunday was, you know?
[SPEAKER_05]: And like the thing about words here is you can like, nearly figure out what it means by looking at it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like instead of kindergarten, it's like kindergarten, it's like kindergarten or is it?
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what it was adopted.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I can't do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It means kids and garden is like the garden is like the garden is like the garden.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like there's life like this is that in the Chicago kindergarten was it not that from Germany.
[SPEAKER_05]: I have a chance to tell you.
[SPEAKER_00]: So background as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: I
[SPEAKER_00]: Please not share for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Play Nostria for a year, which they also speak German there.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's actually quite similar dialect to Varia, South of Germany.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so when I was playing in Austria, I had a, they gave me an English teacher.
[SPEAKER_00]: Or English German teacher, sorry.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's like, I can't speak English either.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so at that point, I was learning German.
[SPEAKER_00]: basically full time when I was playing there.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I got decently well at it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I could follow conversation pretty good.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have since probably lost quite a bit of it, but I would say words and kind of get in by it can definitely still.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, you understand these kind of.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been like hand-billing conversation as I can order and, you know, ask for a table or was it about you?
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I didn't know you were well.
[SPEAKER_00]: But at the same time, between the other languages that I have a grip on,
[SPEAKER_00]: German wasn't Germany wasn't you got your toes didn't like five.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I definitely not fluent at all.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, so we've created a game where there's a list of German words that Hennie's gonna read off to me and I have to guess what they mean.
[SPEAKER_05]: You should open the evidence photos.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: So hit me with your best shot of your best version of that word and then I'm gonna tell you what it means.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: So honestly, the reading's really is I probably know like.
[SPEAKER_00]: 70% of them.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but I'll do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and you guess.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: So off the top.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Shaden Proida.
[SPEAKER_00]: Shaden Proida.
[SPEAKER_05]: Shaden Proida.
[SPEAKER_00]: Shaden Proida.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's break this down.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an SCH.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_05]: I got that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a lot of shag, good.
[SPEAKER_05]: Ta.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: What it was, where to get them?
[SPEAKER_00]: Shaden Proida.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: So,
[SPEAKER_05]: because like I said, you can look at the word and kind of figure it out.
[SPEAKER_05]: Or you'll be like, yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_05]: So Freuda definitely means like mother.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: And then what was the first part?
[SPEAKER_00]: Shot in.
[SPEAKER_05]: Shot in, probably means shot in talk.
[SPEAKER_05]: So this word means talking to your mother.
[SPEAKER_05]: Talk to your mother.
[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe it's like a comeback, like talk to the hand.
[SPEAKER_05]: Talk to your mother.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're so close.
[SPEAKER_05]: Am I really?
[SPEAKER_05]: No.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, it means I mean I love the logic of it all.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is pleasure at someone else's mid fortune.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, if you say something about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you're like, wait a minute.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was, I mean, close.
[SPEAKER_05]: Pleasure at 33.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you can call it close, but we'll give it to you.
[SPEAKER_05]: You keep dipping out of frame.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, sorry.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to remove this.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm not in fright.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, some of these I don't even know if I'm so shot it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like, I feel so
[SPEAKER_05]: Like that bitch got what she deserved.
[SPEAKER_05]: That was so shot and for right then.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, number two.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Cumer speck.
[SPEAKER_05]: Ooh, say it again.
[SPEAKER_00]: Cumer speck.
[SPEAKER_00]: Has it spelled?
[SPEAKER_00]: K U M M E R S E E C K. Okay, so that means get over here.
[SPEAKER_05]: Cause Cumer means come, come here.
[SPEAKER_05]: Cumer, come here.
[SPEAKER_05]: Speck means place.
[SPEAKER_05]: So get over here.
[SPEAKER_05]: Good to this place.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, this one you're actually nowhere close.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it quotes literally grief bacon, which honestly, I've never heard that word before.
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I would never know what that was.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's the literal translation.
[SPEAKER_00]: Comer I guess is grief, and then speck is bacon.
[SPEAKER_05]: Speck is bacon.
[SPEAKER_00]: Which is, yeah, this is very funny.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, that's, that's non-on-trend for how German words have been going for me so far.
[SPEAKER_05]: So far German words have been like, I can see how that makes sense.
[SPEAKER_00]: I understand where you're coming from, because... Comin' from, they're definitely, they're definitely, is words that are like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But then there's the ones that are just like, completely that I feel, you know?
[SPEAKER_05]: We've bacon is so funny.
[SPEAKER_00]: That is pretty funny.
[SPEAKER_05]: Why don't we have words like grief bacon?
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, next one, over, over, over, over, over, nah, I think it's over.
[SPEAKER_00]: Scallet OHR, W-U-R-M, and W-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not very close to the English, but it's close to other languages like French and Swedish, so it's like the first one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: The second.
[SPEAKER_00]: The second side of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Boom.
[SPEAKER_05]: Boom.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think that means either.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's car.
[SPEAKER_05]: Beep beep.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't think so.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, just to give a little spelling, WU-R-M.
[SPEAKER_05]: Warm, it's hot out.
[SPEAKER_00]: OK.
[SPEAKER_05]: So this means a warm hot day or a hot coat, a hot coat, a jacket.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, OK, I'm going to put you out of your misery.
[SPEAKER_00]: And now that's song stuck in your head, which is definitely going to have to do it here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's the literal translation of the year warm.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's like, in a little, like, this is when I totally should have gone.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of weird.
[SPEAKER_05]: I should have 100% that sounds exactly like your worm.
[SPEAKER_05]: I might be misparallel.
[SPEAKER_05]: God damn it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Whatever that one.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not.
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, next to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, next one is Fern Bay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Fern, that means Thursday.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not even close because Thursday is the owner stock.
[SPEAKER_00]: But we're just going to, there's no way you're getting this longing for distant places.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, so I'm feeling very opposite of homesickness.
[SPEAKER_00]: So like you're enjoying you want to go to work.
[SPEAKER_05]: So I was, what was the word?
[SPEAKER_00]: Fernby.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was Fernby for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Fernby.
[SPEAKER_05]: I was Fernby for you.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you Nick.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: This one is to the tea of what you described that your experience with Germanism.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Of figuring out the word based on the spelling.
[SPEAKER_00]: Han Shua.
[SPEAKER_05]: That means Han's show.
[SPEAKER_05]: So that means boy's show.
[SPEAKER_00]: What is Hans?
[SPEAKER_05]: Hans?
[SPEAKER_05]: Hanshu?
[SPEAKER_05]: Large show?
[SPEAKER_05]: Big show?
[SPEAKER_00]: You got the second part, but you think about the first part, literally just this part of the show?
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me explain.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hanshu?
[SPEAKER_03]: A glove?
[SPEAKER_00]: Correct.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[SPEAKER_00]: It's finger spitsa.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, finger spitsa.
[SPEAKER_05]: That means finger play.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's a sexy thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: You wish.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what the actual one is for that world, but in two to clear.
[SPEAKER_05]: Instinct.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're fingers spitsa.
[SPEAKER_05]: You think a spitsa?
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't I don't think that one connected very easily.
[SPEAKER_05]: How did is that it?
[SPEAKER_05]: Is that blast one?
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was cut off, sorry.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's finger spits and gulfule.
[SPEAKER_00]: Finger spits and gulfule.
[SPEAKER_00]: I only saw the first finger spits.
[SPEAKER_05]: I guess the word intuition isn't exactly the easiest.
[SPEAKER_05]: If you say either, so.
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's funny.
[SPEAKER_05]: Gulfule.
[SPEAKER_05]: You think it's the jingle fool?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_05]: The other thing is, it's like, I don't look German.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't think I can't just make people like notice, have a specific look about them.
[SPEAKER_05]: I keep saying they're very like square faces, and I can't explain it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: I have noticed whenever I'm in a crowd of people and I start talking, not only cause I'm fucking loud, but she's most loud American person.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, there was no world where I think Abyshe's Canadian actually.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nick, no, she's American.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's so painfully obvious, but I don't mind standing out in a crowd, but everyone here is speaking with just fun.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're all very bilingual.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well, no, we got a few more here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Dragon foot, so that means you got stinky feet.
[SPEAKER_05]: You got to put your shoes back on.
[SPEAKER_05]: You got to think yes for your dragon foot.
[SPEAKER_00]: Great drive, but not even close.
[SPEAKER_00]: A gift given to a partner after a fight and it's a literary dragon fodder.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a literal translation.
[SPEAKER_05]: Where how and the fuck did you get that from that?
[SPEAKER_00]: Because dragon dragon fodder fodder.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, sure.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Next one sits flesh.

[SPEAKER_00]: I hear a little bit of a slice.
[SPEAKER_05]: Sits flesh.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's going to be an airplane seat.
[SPEAKER_05]: Sits, I don't know why.
[SPEAKER_00]: Has something to do with seating.

[SPEAKER_05]: Hey, speaking of your hat that you have on, that's made by Freddie Taylor Paul, which you can buy our merch right now.
[SPEAKER_05]: Freddie Taylor Paul.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love this.
[SPEAKER_00]: I stole this hat from you.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not spinning your, for the last one.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you can get your, don't talk to me until I've had my likes for the least ice coffee shirt and such it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Go buy it now.
[SPEAKER_05]: T-he.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're back.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, we're back.
[SPEAKER_00]: I figured out how to pronounce this.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Wait, you told me something about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Bang, yes, sikt, buck with the Polish, this buck theft thing, yes, sikt.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's my attempt at that one.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never seen this one before.
[SPEAKER_05]: Back to fingers, sikt.
[SPEAKER_00]: Back to buck, five, then you sikt, buck, the fine, yes, sikt.
[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe say one more time though, same exact time.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I was trying to, because there's a P in there somewhere.
[SPEAKER_05]: Tell me something about buck.
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, yes, but see, I don't think that has anything to do with the thing is, oh, that's any butterfinger.
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, this is a great one.
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish it was easier to say, because it's a great one.
[SPEAKER_05]: What does it mean?
[SPEAKER_00]: A face badly in need of slap.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'll just make a flat view.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm the vodka thing to slip you.
[SPEAKER_00]: The thing is, when you're being dinged down, you're going to get vodka thing to slap.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was really great.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, okay visiting a trip you're having a trip.
[SPEAKER_00]: Does it means you're going over to your friend's house and not in close but you got great effort come back.
[SPEAKER_00]: You think of too late.
[SPEAKER_00]: Most of me I guess it literally translates to staircase joke.
[SPEAKER_00]: You missed the steps and you just went up there and you're behind exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, but they.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, I did talk a big game about how easy it was to understand German words.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, these ones are very, uh, that's quite as hard, but I think it did all right.
[SPEAKER_05]: I got one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: I got gloves.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and you should add your worm, but that's yeah, I should add your worm.
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, hey, why don't we go to a quick break?
[SPEAKER_05]: And when we come back, um, we'll play one other quick game.
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, lovely.
[SPEAKER_05]: And one back.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, wow, I was very good.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, so an interesting thing I have seen here is,
[SPEAKER_05]: that there's a lot of couples.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Germany is the country of love after all.
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I was like, I thought it was Italy.
[SPEAKER_05]: I was like, the moon is dry.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's big to fly.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, no, that's a morning.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's Paris.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, that's French.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, that's Italian.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's a, let's just move on.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's a, I'm going to play Jetlag.
[SPEAKER_05]: So we've created a game about true or false myths of dating in Germany because we've been, we've been on the app.
[SPEAKER_05]: We've been on the field.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we'll look.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right?
[SPEAKER_05]: We've been looking.
[SPEAKER_05]: We're going to you and tell them where we're going tonight.
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, let's not talk about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're worried about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: When and when in Rome slash Munich.
[SPEAKER_00]: We've just been talking about it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Just know that the Germans are very warning people.
[SPEAKER_05]: Because prostitution is legal here.
[SPEAKER_05]: Did you know that?
[SPEAKER_05]: And prostitutes have good health care and rights.
[SPEAKER_05]: They regulated here.
[SPEAKER_05]: At least the regular ones are, yeah, yeah, yeah, so we're doing some some naughty things this evening, but yeah, anyway, what's going to our dating game?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, which again, I mean, I've been around two years in Munich here and there, we've got a baby crying in the background.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all right, um, some of the things when you were here, I was pretty much out the game because I was in ridiculous amount of pain and that was the last time I ever had sex before my surgery.
[SPEAKER_05]: easy what today.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was not like easier than a place like sweet and I would say really why sweet girls are very particular I feel like probably also looking exactly like everyone there yeah exactly nobody likes a sweet you know I should do no I would say it's pretty liberal and everybody is quite open so it's like
[SPEAKER_00]: Who cares, let's go on a date, kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: And very, I would say approachable people but at the same time, maybe not for everybody that's a very different thing.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I've had a hard time with the Millennials or the Gen Z stay here with some, some, what, cashiers and waiters and things and hence he's like, she's not thing mean, she's German, she doesn't ever see what you're saying.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm like, okay, but I feel like, I feel like I'm getting mean, but that's why I think you fit in so beautifully here, because you have the biggest resting betrays I've ever seen in my life.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, you could put it on a statue and it would be,
[SPEAKER_00]: King of Germany.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: So hit me with some dating men.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's see how he's got in Germany.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's common to split the blue on a first date.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I feel like the city is very progressive.
[SPEAKER_05]: So I'm going to say true.
[SPEAKER_00]: Correct.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I feel like these days most I mean most like.
[SPEAKER_05]: Because it is, you know, people are just going to be, but also, I feel like you love that because you're such a cheap ass that you'd be like, you know, no, we're splitting a date bill.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I would never do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, no, I would always pay for first date just because that's just tell us, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: You didn't pay for my books on our first date.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but we paid for each other's books on our first date.
[SPEAKER_05]: So it was like, you didn't buy me a book, did you?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, we both bought each other books.
[SPEAKER_00]: You bought me a book.
[SPEAKER_00]: I bought you, I can't, you, I bought you a untill it's all.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, and I bought you a book.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, we cannot see.
[SPEAKER_00]: Correct.
[SPEAKER_05]: German.
[SPEAKER_00]: story.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, one or two.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but wasn't it?
[SPEAKER_05]: I think there's a lot one person in Germany, one person in France.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think the girls in France.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, everyone's screaming in their car right now.
[SPEAKER_05]: How in Cract, I am.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, this one I would have never heard of, but hey, we'll go for a man must bring bread and some to the first meeting with partners, parents.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know what?
[SPEAKER_05]: That's just a pretzel and I'm going to go with true because this town loves their
[SPEAKER_00]: That is true, which I mean, honestly, I would have to ask a actual German person to see because I feel like that tradition is probably long gone, but maybe very true.
[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe they know traditional.
[SPEAKER_05]: And they're because Germany loves their tradition.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they love their leader Hosen for our best.
[SPEAKER_05]: They love their pencils.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm not surprised at all.
[SPEAKER_00]: So who knows if that's actually true.
[SPEAKER_00]: Any Germans in the chat?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I jump as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: Next one.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's normal to wait three days before texting after a date.
[SPEAKER_05]: Ooh, I feel like, from one I've seen, again, no shade.
[SPEAKER_05]: But the Germans, they're not a very communicative bunch.
[SPEAKER_05]: Either they're speaking German at each other and it's aggressive and it feels scary or they're not talking to you at all.
[SPEAKER_05]: So I'm gonna go with that's true.
[SPEAKER_05]: They don't need to communicate that often with each other.
[SPEAKER_00]: Man, fast, fast, fast, okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Shit, I would hate for the Germans for that to be true.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I wouldn't be surprised.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'll just say that.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, next one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, couples often announce the relationships by wearing matching scarves.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, that's cute.
[SPEAKER_05]: I feel like that's like a lot of words.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's you.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's good to say.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, my brain immediately went to Hogwarts and we did shop a little late yesterday and I did see a ton of scarves.
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say very European just scarves in general.
[SPEAKER_05]: I did a good one as well.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm gonna go with yes, that's a true.
[SPEAKER_05]: No.
[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder if there is something that they, you know, match up with, I have no idea, but it's not scarves.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like in America, where they were, they're like, I love my boyfriend.
[SPEAKER_05]: I love my girlfriend, T. Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Next one, the word, ooh, we got another German one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Who?
[SPEAKER_00]: Besungus.
[SPEAKER_00]: Back.
[SPEAKER_00]: Besungus.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a Hunus.
[SPEAKER_00]: Good spread.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: It refers to the serious quote-unquote relationship talk many people tell, so this is the what are we combo?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is the naked official.
[SPEAKER_05]: Are we official combo?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you got to say, let's, we got to have the basungus, basungus, basungus, basungus, back.
[SPEAKER_05]: That also sounds like the bitch slap.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it might be bites.
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see, homungus, back.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I don't know shit about German words as we know, but if I had to break it down, but homungus, but to me, sounds like,
[SPEAKER_05]: but who are we spending time with?
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm gonna know what that's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is true.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd rather have the relationship talk in English.
[SPEAKER_05]: But honestly, that's one of the things that I really liked about you and I met you was that you loved having a deep, filled with, you know, because when is we here for emotional combos?
[SPEAKER_05]: And like on the outside, you do not look like a man who knows how to talk about his feelings.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love talking about my emotions.
[SPEAKER_05]: We cried together the other night.
[SPEAKER_00]: We always cried together.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's surreal.
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say more often.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I've definitely, but like happy tears.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Talk about cool things.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm so proud of you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm so amazing.
[SPEAKER_00]: We do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think we are very good.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're good, man.
[SPEAKER_00]: Support system.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Kissing on the cheek is a standard first date greeting.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think that's a European thing in general.
[SPEAKER_05]: So I'm going to go with true.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not true in Germany, which I feel like I knew, but at the same time.
[SPEAKER_00]: They say they just slap each other.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: The face that needs slapping.
[SPEAKER_03]: Great, pretzel, here you go.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, obviously, nothing.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think not.
[SPEAKER_05]: I haven't really seen like very many people greeting each other.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I think I mean, that's definitely more Italian thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, and then I think like more Eastern European as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes.
[SPEAKER_00]: Next week, we got some more part of everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's common for couples to have rich in t-shirts, also known as matching common t-shirts.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's like a little bit.
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe it's a scarf.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, I guess.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to go false because that's an American thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, well, I wonder where I'm at that if I'm because it's true.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, they got the matching tea game out here.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never seen one.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know if it's just like single one.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's mine.
[SPEAKER_05]: Mine, mine, not mine.
[SPEAKER_05]: Also, this might be a traditional thing.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'd be curious to see because we've definitely seen couples like in leader Hose and then whatever the female version is.
[SPEAKER_00]: And also leader Hose.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, is it?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not the same.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like more of a dress on me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I've seen them like being matching, which is cute Yeah, I feel like it might be a family thing too.
[SPEAKER_00]: Where you have your family has someone who's because I know my my friend has his family ones You found all this about a sense of leader who's an oh, yeah, okay, if anybody not in the know later I was and obviously Oh, yeah, if you think of Germany in the most stereotypical way you're thinking of that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I'll fit
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, that's rightful on a beer.
[SPEAKER_00]: A very traditional four October vests, but also they do sometimes use it for events or like a wedding or a very very funny wedding.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not as common these days.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think outside of our campus.
[SPEAKER_05]: Kind of like your fancy clothes.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like a lot of new recipes.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, where my later home is in Peru, like a very German event.
[SPEAKER_05]: And they are expensive.
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, people be flexing on my fuckers with the pants.
[SPEAKER_05]: If they're made out of the real leather, which we've earned or you say them in kind, that
[SPEAKER_05]: Nice nice ones, but it's a thousand dollars.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, yeah, that's one of the nice ones, but you can you can rack it up to a couple, a couple, a thousand He's for the full custom full on real leather learn that and a lot of time they pass it down Yeah, it's a family thing My friends dad That's literally over like a hundred-year-old Yeah, he knows which is honestly hilarious vintage.
[SPEAKER_00]: Very cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, great.
[SPEAKER_00]: That'll last that long
[SPEAKER_05]: I feel like we in America do that with wedding dresses and, like, dad leather jackets.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'll talk to that at.
[SPEAKER_00]: And family drama.
[SPEAKER_05]: Drag us daddy.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Next one.
[SPEAKER_00]: We got public handholding is considered to be intimate in most regions.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I hope not.
[SPEAKER_05]: I've been only your handle day or day.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: You take a look around.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't see anyone holding hands.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I don't see that many.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I see one way over in the distance.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't see anyone.
[SPEAKER_05]: I want to go with false.
[SPEAKER_05]: I know.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to go true.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, oh my god, look at this puppy.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a puppy walking by a brand new little fucking fluffy sock, um, but probably but not thrilled, but pretty cute, but outside, um, I would say the very as a little bit more traditional like the south of Germany compared to like a Berlin, you know, obviously everyone knows Berlin's a free, Berlin's a free city.
[SPEAKER_05]: Honestly, I, I'm actually, yeah, I wish I could change my answer because
[SPEAKER_05]: Germany is a little horny town.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I would say Germany is a very liberal country.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's not a talent's country.
[SPEAKER_00]: But in terms of Europe, I feel like Germany is quite a liberal country.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: And it's very, like people talk about what they want, and they're very frank.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: And it's not embarrassing, which I like much a little bit of New York.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
[SPEAKER_00]: What do we got?
[SPEAKER_00]: Last two, bringing flowers that you expected, but the number must be odd.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm gonna go with true because that sounds like a specific traditional thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is true.
[SPEAKER_01]: Interesting.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not even, but hey, I love to know the background by now.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I've seen a lot of beautiful flower markets here.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like flower markets at the ass, kind of like giving Amsterdam, giving Holland, it's giving like garden party.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because people got time to guard it out here, you know?
[SPEAKER_05]: The life is just like little slower.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: A little more present, a little more aesthetic.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like everything's just a beautiful moment in the town.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can still live fast, but a lot of people like the slow down, you know?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, my admiral and like my chaotic energy here is definitely not the norm.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I would say not quite.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not quite, but you know, last one.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Going hiking together is a popular data.
[SPEAKER_05]: Based on what I know about Germany, which is the outdoor.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a surprisingly, Munich is a surprisingly nature-driven city, which I had no idea when I think of a city.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm like, what do you mean?
[SPEAKER_05]: People are hiking and taking trains to the lake every weekend.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're better.
[SPEAKER_05]: So I'm going to go with true.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is true.
[SPEAKER_05]: I thought so.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Munich is very close to the Alps.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like an hour to any kind of decent hike or you go in the Austria hour, hour and a half and you've got crazy Alps there obviously.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Switzerland you can mess about as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: I love that like to all the girly pops and also it's a very like when I think of Germany I think of like a lot of white men, but I do think it's a pretty diversity from what I've seen and like the girly pops who are like, I want to go frolic around Europe on a girls trip or like maybe go to some Christmas markets this winter coming up.
[SPEAKER_05]: I highly recommend checking out Germany.
[SPEAKER_05]: Isn't Christmas a German word?
[SPEAKER_05]: No.
[SPEAKER_05]: I went so I went to wherever Christmas was invented.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I suppose was it about you?
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, I don't know, I feel like a little bit, uh... Don't Google it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I definitely, I went... I mean, I don't think so.
[SPEAKER_00]: That didn't sound like a very German word though.
[SPEAKER_05]: Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because what do they even say?
[SPEAKER_00]: Christmas isn't German.
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember off the other hand.
[SPEAKER_05]: I remember, as I met a group of brothers who's last name was Christmas.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I didn't believe them.
[SPEAKER_05]: They all bust it out their IDs at the bar.
[SPEAKER_02]: And all they always said, you guys are the Christmas.
[SPEAKER_02]: That was very easy.
[SPEAKER_05]: Anyway, that was a good game.
[SPEAKER_05]: Thanks for playing along.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let us know how you did at home in the comments below.
[SPEAKER_05]: But let's get to it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's get to the mean potatoes and the pretzel of the episode.
[SPEAKER_05]: The mean potatoes.
[SPEAKER_05]: Which is, it doesn't have to be a long combo, but how some... How long distance going for us?
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I feel like I should be asking you that.
[SPEAKER_05]: I did an episode about long distance in the stats and stuff, not too long ago say if you haven't heard that go check out that episode, but I first arrived to this beautiful city of Munich and I'm very much a like live for the plot aesthetic moments, foam, oh, like make it a moment out of everything in life and I think you're a little bit more chill.
[SPEAKER_05]: and I hadn't seen you in two months, and I haven't been a needy partner, really since I was unhinged in alcoholic in my early 20s where I just was very unsure who I was and who I wasn't a relationship.
[SPEAKER_05]: But I found the first three days I was here, I felt like a needy little girl.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like I was just like clinging to your leg.
[SPEAKER_05]: She's telling me, well, you hold my hand in the grocery store.
[SPEAKER_05]: You hold my hand while I get my hair done, or you hold my hand while I do this that way.
[SPEAKER_05]: I just felt, and it wasn't like a, I missed you so much that I want to hold you.
[SPEAKER_05]: It was like, I'm afraid of losing you, which is a very like ex-co-dependent behavior of mine that I used to have.
[SPEAKER_05]: So that worried me when I first arrived.
[SPEAKER_05]: I didn't like how that felt when I first got here.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: without the touch anxious.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, my anxious is touching.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'll jump down.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think I ever felt that around me because there's, yeah, you've never been like any kind of anything, if anything, if anything, you're hyper independent.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for the most part, I say both of us are.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that was coming from more of a need to,
[SPEAKER_00]: absorb as much as possible in a short period of time because we only have so much time.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Friends.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, that's the other thing I've heard.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's a winner dog.
[SPEAKER_05]: Is that a very rare?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Very German dog.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_05]: So many freaking uniforms.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's crazy.
[SPEAKER_05]: You saw like 10 in one spot.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: He thought it was like a winner dog.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Literally because, you know, that certain dog breeds people always meet up with each other.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's like always a funniest thing to see like a funny looking dog.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was like a million of them and I came You know a random Sunday a few weeks ago, and I swear and we were all like there was like 20 25 and turn that up and at the same time I was like it's we know dog like
[SPEAKER_00]: especially German dog, like I can't think of it like I don't remember seeing them.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're in a shit it's a little.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it is a very German dog, for all.
[SPEAKER_05]: And all the little kidgy tourist jumps with all the little like merchant things you didn't get.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it's all we are not everywhere.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, dog, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Anyway, back to long-dong distance.
[SPEAKER_05]: So we had to have like a good conversation the other night, which I felt like was a very, you know, it could have been a really hard conversation for other people to have where we had to kind of say,
[SPEAKER_05]: What is the reality of our relationship look like and what is the future because we'd always kind of like planned up to you leaving.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: And then once you left, it became very real.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: And.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I would say like we from the very beginning because I mean, like, I've kind of lived this life for the last 10 years.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
[SPEAKER_00]: I would start that I'll be like I'm probably going to leave in a month in three months in order of manhors and girls are probably like not even really like I mean it was more so just like I need to be clear because I can't be having it's just like it doesn't work way yeah I mean kid would like that and so that's how we started from the very beginning of like we enjoy each other all the kind of stuff and is but there is this looming thing of okay I'm going to be leaving and there's nothing that
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to change that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's 100 versus.
[SPEAKER_00]: What I'm going to do.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was very clear as great like to enjoy that time and everything, by the same time, I think I knew what that was going to look like, but maybe you didn't know exactly what that was like.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, because you've done it a million times.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I've been there, done that, you've never done it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never done it.
[SPEAKER_05]: I've never dated an international soccer player.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I think that was a very big wake up call for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Huge.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because obviously we did the short like one month
[SPEAKER_05]: And then you went to Sunderland for another set of years.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I was always like, I'm coming back.
[SPEAKER_05]: You always have like a return by date.
[SPEAKER_05]: This we still have no return by date.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you might not return by.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_05]: And so I think having that kind of relationship conversation of like, we really love and respect each other.
[SPEAKER_05]: And we think we're a great couple.
[SPEAKER_05]: But like, can we do this?
[SPEAKER_05]: Is this something that like,
[SPEAKER_05]: both of us are so career forward and we don't want to compromise, well, like we would never compromise that.
[SPEAKER_05]: And if we wanted to make this work maybe the way a different couple would want to be together with someone long distance is like you would have to compromise.
[SPEAKER_05]: Someone would have to compromise location, job, something.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I am in a unique position to where I can kind of work from a lot of places, but like long term LA is the city
[SPEAKER_05]: That's where filmmaking and like the entertainment business is like I can be an influence or anywhere sure, but that's not my like long term plan.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, I can be a writer for anywhere, but that's also not like how do I sustain content and relationships and events and relationships and things like that.
[SPEAKER_05]: If I'm not like starting over here, I don't even know what that would look like, you know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, of course.
[SPEAKER_00]: Your routine, your career, your everything that you've built so far has been built in LA.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's where you know you can succeed obviously.
[SPEAKER_00]: you could succeed anywhere you want to kind of think, but at the same time, you need to do what's like, the best four-year career kind of.
[SPEAKER_05]: And that would take a big commitment of me saying, okay, I'm gonna put myself at the bottom of some totem pole in some European city for love.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I would have done that shit five, six years ago, and I had been like, I mean, that's like what the whole fucking book is about, is like, not self-sign.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_05]: Not self-sign.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you were the queen of self-sign.
[SPEAKER_05]: Even just like, I think another big thing we touched on in that conversation was age.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I mean, the confidence will probably so sick of me talking about this every episode.
[SPEAKER_05]: The thing like turning 35 really had me opening up my eyes of like, what does long term commitment like if you're not someone that wants to get married or have kids and it really is like building community, like showing up for each other, like building a business together, like doing things very intentionally and
[SPEAKER_05]: You're 28 and you like every time I'm like, oh my god, you're still in your 20s.
[SPEAKER_05]: I laugh because I'm like, I still feel in act.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like I'm in my 20s.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like my bank account show looks like it.
[SPEAKER_05]: My lifestyle, my catch flights up feelings.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like I still very much act like it.
[SPEAKER_05]: So for me to use like ages and number, but the reality is there is a biological element to use some of our relationship.
[SPEAKER_05]: If like,
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, say I changed my mind and wanted to like get married or whatever, and I found myself even bringing things up like that of like Yeah, matching tattoos.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, why aren't we matching tattoos if you really were to be with me forever and then Because I get married.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, you don't want to get married, but I want you to want to marry me And even like saying, you know,
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, can't I change my mind to like can't I be with someone that makes me want to do those things.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's what I've heard a lot from people who are like me that are like, you might find the person that you do change all of that up, you know, hard etched in ingrained.
[SPEAKER_05]: belief system.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think at the same time it's like if somebody has a very hard opinion on something it's like I'm not going to live my life to change your opinion on that like you know it's just like let's enjoy our relationship and if it changes it changes yeah and so like no I think the biggest hardest part for me was knowing that like I'm going to go back to LA you're going to be a Munich for a little bit yeah but the top of next year even like we don't know where you'll be yeah
[SPEAKER_05]: that to me is kind of like okay another like goal post to move back like how do we build and strengthen and like maintain a relationship living across the world from each other yeah so and like do you love that and do I want that and like how can we still show up for each other in ways yeah and not like waste your time my time yeah like obviously because I think
[SPEAKER_00]: We both just want so much in life.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's why we do work so well together.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we have worked really well.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think even through long distance, it's definitely very possible.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's always just touching base on where we're at.
[SPEAKER_00]: How we feel and what our future looks like.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, and I think that's the kind of the precipice of the conversation that we were having was just like this conversation five years ago,
[SPEAKER_05]: been completely spiraled out, sobbing, like, oh, then why are we even doing it?
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, what are we even doing?
[SPEAKER_03]: This is so stupid, like, I'm just going to end up hard working on it.
[SPEAKER_05]: And now I'm kind of like, I'm just going to do what feels good and what feels sturdy and like honest in my bones.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: and take it as it comes.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like I cannot plan.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: What our relationship will look like?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I think the baseline is always like, we know how much we care for each other and like that won't change.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like making sure that our circumstances are able, like we're, we're malleable of like where I'm going, where you're going and also like being open to the idea of going somewhere else or that kind of stuff, if it works.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: a lot of people with a regular job would be able to do that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like both of our jobs are not regular.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I know.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's usually like the hard.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Stop early on.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, oh, you start dating somebody.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, wait, they do this.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's never going to work.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I feel like we both do a similar thing in terms of industry.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why, like different industries, obviously.
[SPEAKER_00]: But like similar, like, how are you doing?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry, but.
[SPEAKER_00]: But at the same time, I'm a little bit more subject to, like, literal change in the country.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Whereas yours, you're, you can always be based in LA and do what you do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But you potentially could go somewhere else for a little time.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're back on stuff.
[SPEAKER_05]: And it's very weird to also, like, have a relationship, like, keep building on something that you don't know if it's going to work out.
[SPEAKER_05]: Not because of lack of love or because of,
[SPEAKER_05]: lack of relationship care or mismatched energies or mismatched ideals or whatever.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like it's just a weird thing to be like, I'm still going to do this.
[SPEAKER_05]: Even though it probably will fail.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not probable, but statistically, it's like, we're like, we need to, yeah, I think it's just like, the thing that we always go back to is like,
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're a team and that's always what we go back to is like, okay, how does this work as a team?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: What works, what doesn't work, how do we know about it?
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, is there going to be down periods where we're gone for a few months, kind of, but as long as we're within that team oriented mind space.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, those two months are, you know, going to be a bit of a struggle, but the next six months is, you know, in a better place.
[SPEAKER_05]: And it feels kind of like seasons.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Chapter a season.
[SPEAKER_00]: What is everything?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: What is the season look like?
[SPEAKER_05]: knowing to that we are both too very selfish people.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, of course.
[SPEAKER_05]: And like, I think that's why when I showed up and I was in this like state of panic, it was kind of like, you were still just acting like you're a regular self and I was expecting you to be just like to completely different person and when I showed up to meet the expectations I had of what like reuniting with someone being two months apart, feel like.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_05]: And so just clocking that and like,
[SPEAKER_05]: The most important thing, I think it's just being able to have someone that you talk to about it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like, if I couldn't talk to you about that shit, why?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because I think having, like, not having those conversations and then literally be like, okay, go back to LA for a few months and then it's just like, I miss you, you know, we'll see what happens.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like that's not a relationship on the other day.
[SPEAKER_05]: And like weirdly I think the universe has put this in front of me to test me on like all the work I have done Unnot being codependent or not being an anxiously attached person like this is the universe being like I am giving you a very solid person to do this kind of relationship with Yeah, if you trust in it and don't fall back to any like old patterns of behaviors.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah
[SPEAKER_05]: that you would do.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I think I just kept like all I wanted from you was that reassurance.
[SPEAKER_05]: I kept like asking like, has anything changed?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, too.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like.
[SPEAKER_05]: Are your plans different for how this ends up playing here?
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you still have the same end goal in mind as me?
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's, I think, the main thing I was trying to, like, is that when I think having that conversation was a good kind of playerfire, I'm like, where we're at, and where we're going, even though we have a few factors that are not necessarily like solidified and like able to be like, OK, it's this data
[SPEAKER_00]: but being open to the flexibility.
[SPEAKER_05]: And that being said, if you need a room in Los Angeles, to rent out for a couple of months, I've got one coming up because we entered a lease together with the thought that I don't know what we thought.
[SPEAKER_05]: We did, it just really didn't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I feel like we were looking for some other places and it was just like there was some bad ones.
[SPEAKER_00]: And this one was just like so far above everything else.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it wasn't like it was the same price, the same back, and I thought it wasn't even like crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not like we've
[SPEAKER_05]: sign up for some ridiculous lease that were like rent momma's stuff but at the same time it's like yeah when I'm gone for so long as such a big place for you as well but so if you know anyone that needs a room should be a DM on the podcast and sticker out because I've got room coming up baby I feel like that's pretty good anything else you want to say to the company on's.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I think I'm just very lucky to have you here, obviously, all the way across the park in Munich, in Munich, in Munich, and you're having a great time.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's been nothing but lovely.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, honestly, it's been so wonderful.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I come back ten or ten times now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I honestly think Munich is a very elite city in Europe.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you kept on saying the word.
