Liz and Truanon mock Germany’s "biodynamic" identity jokes while critiquing a 24-hour transit there as chaotic, then pivot to Iceland’s misleading layover scam—calling it "Sun Land" if it were Mediterranean. They name-drop Hitler, mispronounce Himmler/Hämmerle, and invent absurd German noble titles like "Felix von Gary," blending Eurovision’s Israeli entry with Ukrainian performance nostalgia. The segment ends with playful chaos: Diet Coke slurps, aerodynamics quips, and a dismissive take on Fiji’s overrated allure. [Automatically generated summary]
I said this in the last episode, but I'm going to say it again.
If I was in charge of German national identity, I would make it about biodynamic reasoning, which sounds Nazi enough for the Germans, but actually isn't Nazi at all.
Biodynamic reasoning does sound.
It sounds like something they would have turned us into instead of soap.
Are we recording?
Yeah.
OH.
Willkommen, Willkommen. Willkommen.
Das ist zu einem Namen. Willkommen. Willkommen.
Oh, die Alps. Oh.
Mein Mann, Gott.
Oh, my God.
Germans.
Germans, Germans.
I've been to Germany once for 24 hours in transit to somewhere else.
Was it like this at 24 hours?
I was so sorry.
24 hours in Germany sounds like a techno like rape thing.
I actually, no, so I got a flight there on, there was like this Icelandic, I think it's Icelandic State Airways, and it was like a cheap fucking flight.
But the trick is, and this is how they get you.
I think I've probably complained about this on the show before because I'm still pissed off about this.
The trick was you, it's like a 19 or like a 16-hour layover in fucking Iceland.
Yes.
It's the most expensive place in the world.
The most expensive place in the world.
It's too little time to do anything.
I'm going to be honest, I'm not one of those people who really wants to go to Iceland.
I don't, I want.
Well, now, because you already went.
If it was called like Sun Land and was in a different place, Greenland, but that's, we all know that that's a well, that's what the secret war is.
You don't want to go there.
Yeah, secret wars.
Well, one of the battlefields.
I would say if Iceland was called Sun Land and was like placed not in the cold reaches of the Atlantic waste.
You're saying if Iceland was Fiji, you would go?
No, not Fiji, but like...
I would go if it was Fiji.
I guess I would go.
Yeah, no, I would.
Don't get me wrong.
So Fiji is too hard.
I would go if it was Fiji.
No, Fiji's too good for you.
No, but if it was like in the Mediterranean or something, it was, you know, there was a – but no, but I sent it coconuts.
So I guess if it was Fiji, which I assume is coconuts, I would be more partial to it.
I want to get something out of the way.
What?
One of my favorite people in the world is German.
Hitler.
No, I knew we weren't going to do that.
Okay.
Oh, Hammler.
No.
You like the paper fellow?
No, my friend is German.
You're friends with Himmler?
No!
Who's your friend?
You don't know him.
He's not even German.
I don't know him?
Well, yes.
He's with her.
He loses a woman!
Jesus, Liz.
This is so dumb.
We have the dumbest podcast.
We have, I cannot believe.
I'm.
Why do you listen to this?
My name is Liz.
My name.
What would my name be if I was German?
My name is Felix von – Felix?
Yeah, that's a German name.
Felix.
I think he'd be named Gary.
Felix Gary?
No, Gary.
Gary von Felix.
No, Gerhard.
Gerhard von...
I guess von is more, well, it's kind of Austrian.
My name is Gerard.
Well, what?
What is?
Gerhard is?
No, Vaughn.
Vaughn?
No, Vaughn is just like, it's like, it's a German, it denotes nobility, which is.
Well, I'm the first Jewish junker.
I'm Juncker.
But I like calling them junkers.
A Juncker.
I don't know what we are fucking talking about.
My name is Gary Vaughn.
Bracey.
Bracey.
And we, of course, joined.
That's so dumb.
I was joined by my dance partner.
Oh, that's nice.
Young Choms Chauncey.
Little Eurovision duo.
Oh, dude, I got to tell you this.
People are like, oh, we've got to get Israel out of Eurovision.
They're not talking about the rules of the problem.
Israel's in Eurovision?
Yeah.
Yes, Israel is in fucking Eurovision.
I didn't.
The last Eurovision I watched.
I think I was in Brazil when I went there, but it was Ukraine.
Did this like crazy-ass performance that I had never, it was the craziest fucking thing I've ever seen.
I really, really enjoyed Eurovision.
I think I just made a wet noise in the mic, which we're not going to add it out, but that was a Diet Coke I'm drinking.
