Unfortunately, I say Fritz too often. That's why I can't post the video. While we were on stage, the result came on Friday, the second vote in the Bundestag, which he lost. Tragic.
Sorry, we really have to... We can do it after the break.
Do you want to smear a cheese bun? Me too. Come on, I ordered myself a nice last breakfast at the hotel today. And I just signed the bill. I had to start a little later, because the room service was still coming. Sorry, a privileged... Privileged dirty bitch. Dirty bitch, but today I got myself something.
And then I look at the bill and then I see it only costs 12 euros, because breakfast is a price in mind. You just have to pay for the delivery. I was totally happy. I've always seen a lot of alpaca hairstyles from people in hotels in the last few weeks, who push these breakfast trays back and forth.
These are all 19-year-olds in their second year of education, who all have these weird curly hairstyles in the front. You know, they all look like alpacas.
I've seen it.
I also have a nice song that has a little story. This week I did a lot on tour. I watched videos and I looked into the SNL 50s documentary series, so Saturday Night Live, this legendary, legendary... Where is it? It's at Peacock, that's the streaming provider of NBC, and I'm a member there. I can't get in there again.
Yes, I don't know when and where it will appear in Germany or if it will even exist, otherwise I'll give you my access, I'll send it to you, you have to do it with VPN.
There are five documentaries in between. The first four deal with the comedians and the story of the show. And there is also a very, very, very good documentation, which is over two hours long, about the musicians who were guests at Saturday Night Live. That's a live television show, always on Saturday evening, when it's season, at NBC.
It's been around since 1975 and it's so cultural, also with us. And that was, for example, I learned in this documentary, the first television show ever. ever, in which a hip-hop group has ever appeared on national television. And it's the Funky Four Plus One, on February 14, 1981, nine days before my birth. And do you know why they only appeared there?
Because Debbie Harry from Blondie, who somehow hung out in the New Yorker, in the New Yorker artist scene, just praised them in such a way, they're so mega cool, you must, you must, you must. And then, through persistence and persuasion, she managed to get Funky 4 Plus One into the show and thus paved the way for a completely new genre.
And there you see, this television show, you can also see that in this music documentary, although it's a comedy show, That's the kind of music scene it was. Because, and I have to say that, maybe it's a little secret why we understand each other so well, why we both do both, music and comedy or music and comedy use the same mechanisms.
So storytelling is comparable to writing a song, both lyrically and musically. It always depends on the timing. Energy is incredibly important. The same joke told in 30 different places comes 30 times differently, just like music pieces that you perform live. And starting with the Blues Brothers to legendary performances by David Bowie, all at Saturday Night Live.
And I'm going to do the first hip-hop song by the Fab Four Plus One. No, I'm going to do the most well-known one, so you can listen to it a little bit. That's the Joint, Funky Four. Ah, that's from them, all right. Funky V plus one. And, um, yeah, so really a really great documentary. I would wish that someone would grab it and broadcast it. I don't know, can't the ARD do it?
Can't I call the ARD at NBC?
is the partner of NBC. They have some kind of partnership, I know that. There are some connections. You can't call and say, hey, watch out, we're going to get the docu in our mediatheque, guys, here it is. I swear to you, that would be the bringer. And where else is that supposed to go? That's what no one else does.
Yeah, I think so too, and I'm much fitter today than I was last week, because I was still pretty sick. I'm still coughing dry every now and then, but it's not a comparison. I really had the first two weeks, I came to the Cologne show, that's really bizarre, I can't remember. That's so bad on tour, after two days, you ask yourself, where did I want to go yesterday?
I had such a fever when we were on stage in Cologne. I can only remember the lights and the stage. I can't remember anything, almost nothing. That I was in a room with people afterwards. My drugs were two Aspirin Complex and two Espresso. And then it was exactly enough for two and a half hours. That was great too. But I can't remember anything. And yesterday in Hamburg, oh, I really got it.
That's why it was a great evening, because I checked everything. In the Caller Line Arena, which is now called differently, Bernd Barclays Arena. And you know who did the catering for us? Tell me. Tim Meltzer's company did catering. Really? Yes. We had our own caterer for the first time.
So normally it's like that, you travel around and there's catering on site, but of course it's comfortable when you travel with a solid team. And then Tim Meltzer's team came along. And yesterday, of course, we were in the boss's city. Was Tim there? Tim was there, but we didn't see it because it was all sweated up and I got locked in somewhere afterwards.
