Speaker 1: Live from the Export Beer Garden Tour of Munich and
Speaker 1: brought to you here as always by Export lt to
Speaker 1: the Bear for here this is the Agenda Podcast for
Speaker 1: Actually it's Wednesday, the twenty fifth of September.
Speaker 2: The Agenda Podcast Live from the Export on Tram Beer
Speaker 2: Garden Tour of Munich.
Speaker 1: And we are husks of our former selves at this point,
Speaker 1: two back to back days at Octoberfest has really taken
Speaker 1: a toll. I sort of did the counting up after
Speaker 1: the first day. I think I had nine steins, eight
Speaker 1: nine stones, nine times. I think I was just saying
Speaker 1: last night I had about eight glasses of water. I
Speaker 1: did not go to the bathroom once. Is how dehydrated
Speaker 1: I am.
Speaker 2: I don't know where do we start.
Speaker 3: If anyone's seen my soul, can you can you like
Speaker 3: return it to do something?
Speaker 4: Let me know. I don't know where it's gone. I'm
Speaker 4: in all sorts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, at one point this a battle.
Speaker 1: Eleven o'clock last night is just like I'm done and
Speaker 1: just walked out of the fst by himself.
Speaker 4: Well, I knew that if I didn't go walk.
Speaker 2: A hobble, it was a very Oh yeah, it's a shuffle.
Speaker 3: I couldn't walk straight, so you know, when you're trying
Speaker 3: your hardest to walk in the straight line, I just couldn't.
Speaker 3: But I knew that if I didn't go at that moment,
Speaker 3: I was going to end up asleep underneath one of
Speaker 3: those rides and I would get waken up again by
Speaker 3: someone the next time.
Speaker 4: I'm amazed. I got home.
Speaker 2: Probably the funnest forty eight hours of my life. Actually,
Speaker 2: that was. Oh, it's hard to describe it.
Speaker 1: I was saying to one of the fellows that's on
Speaker 1: the trip with us, who's from Timaru, and like, if
Speaker 1: you try to explain it to your mate's back home,
Speaker 1: they'll just picture the Caroline Bay Carnival bit a bit.
Speaker 2: Bigger, Yeah, you know, but it's nothing like that at all.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: It is huge, isn't it. It's a Disneyland for adults, yeah,
Speaker 3: but with a German theme. Yes, it's so weird. The
Speaker 3: German theme part is the strange thing. I mean, everyone
Speaker 3: dressed up.
Speaker 1: Yes, every single person there, and you don't have to
Speaker 1: pay to get in, you just walk in. You can
Speaker 1: walk into any hint you want as well. But the
Speaker 1: what they've nailed with the leader hose, and I think
Speaker 1: we talked about it yesterday, is that the dudes look
Speaker 1: wacky and the checks look hot, and that is the
Speaker 1: perfect mix for getting on the past because the check
Speaker 1: doesn't want to look goofy when she goes out exactly
Speaker 1: dress and they don't.
Speaker 4: They look hot.
Speaker 1: The duades look wacky because they got leave the shorts
Speaker 1: and long socks on.
Speaker 2: So they're here.
Speaker 1: We go and it's hard to have a bad vibe.
Speaker 1: I didn't see one fight. I didn't see anything. I
Speaker 1: didn't see any bad behavior because it's hard to start
Speaker 1: a scrap when you were to leave the shorts. Well,
Speaker 1: that's so true. The toughest gun. Yeah, we ended up
Speaker 1: and the lizard tin. We said you wanted it though,
Speaker 1: I said, we can't go to the lizard tin.
Speaker 5: And the lizard tin is the whole brouse, which is
Speaker 5: renowned for Kiwis and Aussies. It's called the pig pin
Speaker 5: underneath the circling peg. I said, you don't want to
Speaker 5: go to the pig pin, you don't want to go
Speaker 5: to the lizard tin. And you're like, I'm ready for
Speaker 5: the lizards.
Speaker 3: I just wanted such a good time and the what
Speaker 3: did we go to yesterday? Checking tin on the other one.
Speaker 3: Actually the day before they laughing, bru It's such a
Speaker 3: great time there. I was like, maybe the best day
Speaker 3: of my life. Singing, dancing, drinking, making new friends was
Speaker 3: so good. And then standing on tables and then I thought, okay,
Speaker 3: I want to take it up a notch. I don't
Speaker 3: even want to go that again. I want to I
Speaker 3: want to see what's worst. And I said, come on, Lane,
Speaker 3: let's go to the lizard tin. You're like, I'm not
Speaker 3: We're not going to the lizard Tin.
Speaker 5: I didn't want you to go to the I didn't
Speaker 5: want anyone to go to the lizard tent. But you
Speaker 5: were like, no, full lizard. I needed to see for
Speaker 5: I needed to go full lizard and.
Speaker 4: Grossed. I now know why.
Speaker 3: The problem is that, Tin. If that if you were
Speaker 3: a person, Lane, you'd be that tent. That is you,
Speaker 3: a full lizard.
Speaker 6: That's inside of Lane's head, that is you.
Speaker 3: And that's why you don't want to go is because
Speaker 3: you knew that. As soon as I died, I wasn't
Speaker 3: hiding from that fact. Oh my god, and beg shout
Speaker 3: out to callum who got me home? Oh he he's
Speaker 3: put his back out.
Speaker 2: Oh that that is.
Speaker 5: That's that's the tribute to the men who had to
Speaker 5: carry a ninety five kg carcas home with them.
Speaker 2: It's the states.
Speaker 4: Blood grazed knees.
Speaker 6: No, that was that's the heel. You're a grown man,
Speaker 6: you've got knees.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Look obviously falling over all.
Speaker 6: Over Calum and I.
Speaker 5: We had a couple of locations with a capital of
Speaker 5: Mercedes Park cars.
Speaker 1: We I just went for a walk down the street.
Speaker 1: They sell october fist kits. I just bought one. You
Speaker 1: get a pack of tissues, you get a couple of panadoles,
Speaker 1: there's some disinfectant wipes, there's band aids.
Speaker 2: Yes, I've got one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think brought We wouldn't do that in
Speaker 1: New Zealand. You can never make the all right, you're
Speaker 1: going to get sucked up. Here's the kit to help
Speaker 1: you when you get back.
Speaker 3: Electrolytes in It really is the ambulance at the bottom
Speaker 3: of the clip.
Speaker 1: We walked into the pharmacy and I was like, oh, look,
Speaker 1: I've got to run in nose. Joe's got salt throat,
Speaker 1: lads got cuts all over his feet, and the go goes, oh,
Speaker 1: you want an octoberfish kid.
Speaker 5: Oh yes, on top of bears and everything we needed
Speaker 5: my highlight from yesterday. Well actually know it's this morning
Speaker 5: watching in the video anyone who's been to Oktoberfish is
Speaker 5: a certain ride. It's a kid's slide, that's anyway I
Speaker 5: can describe it as a kid slide. But the only
Speaker 5: way to get to the top of the kid's slide
Speaker 5: is enormous as a very fast moving conveyor belt which
Speaker 5: never stops, like they don't stop it for anyone, and
Speaker 5: you've got to get on it and lean forward. And
Speaker 5: basically from about seven pm onwards there's just drunk counts trying.
Speaker 2: To do this ride.
Speaker 5: And I stayed away from it and then sing videos
Speaker 5: if you and choke This morning made.
Speaker 2: My heart sank.
Speaker 1: So this is immediately after Jerry had left Excel our
Speaker 1: dear friend, the local German who just seemed to appear
Speaker 1: out of the woodwork at random points. He goes, We're like,
Speaker 1: we're about to leave it. He goes, before we leave,
Speaker 1: you've got to go and try this thing.
Speaker 2: You what he was doing?
Speaker 1: So I get up there and the guy goes, right,
Speaker 1: get it, get a run up, jump on, lean forward,
Speaker 1: do not hold onto the rail because the rails not
Speaker 1: moving and the floor is so just get a run up,
Speaker 1: don't touch the rail. It's I don't touch rail, don't
Speaker 1: touch the rail, don't touch the rail. I get a
Speaker 1: runner blind, drunk to I get a waddle up, don't
Speaker 1: jump onto it, and I loose my foot and grab
Speaker 1: the rail feed up in the air and then just
Speaker 1: got shot out like a cannon at the top of
Speaker 1: the convey.
Speaker 7: So was that the ride the slide slow thing is
Speaker 7: he goes your crop, come down and come down and
Speaker 7: on a kid's slide.
Speaker 2: The humiliation wasn't complete after that.
Speaker 1: Down the slide it's much more human the part down
Speaker 1: the bottom.
Speaker 4: So the slide is the rider's.
Speaker 1: Joe coming down the slide and then here's me stuck
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the slide.
Speaker 4: It does so shed sucks.
Speaker 2: It's so rickety. To god, it was terrifying.
Speaker 1: It's so high you'd probably be five or six stories
Speaker 1: and there no three or four. It was bloody high
Speaker 1: and terrifying, but hilarious. And then after that we went
Speaker 1: to this other tent and it was well, we saw
Speaker 1: a queue and a massive crowd of people inside this tent.
Speaker 1: We said, what the hell are they They're all looking
Speaker 1: at something in the middle, cheering. So we've got to pay.
Speaker 1: We've got to find out what this is. We walk
Speaker 1: in and it's like a spinning another convey about situation.
Speaker 1: It's a picture like a luggage carousel, but it's just
Speaker 1: one giant round thing. There's about ten people sitting on
Speaker 1: it and it's spinning at a million miles an hour
Speaker 1: while people throw less us at them and giant like
Speaker 1: balls drop from the ceiling to knock these people off.
Speaker 1: What And you've got to stay on for as long
Speaker 1: as you possibly can. And people in the crowd are
Speaker 1: gambling with each other, and then after the round is finished,
Speaker 1: they've got this old colonial German gentleman sitting on the
Speaker 1: microphone and he'll he was I don't know what he
Speaker 1: was saying, but man, he sounded funny. He was commentating
Speaker 1: the whole thing and just had this real angry tone
Speaker 1: about him. And then so I turned to a German.
Speaker 4: Do next to me.
Speaker 2: I was like, what the fuck is happening here?
Speaker 1: And he said, so each round he'll say something like
Speaker 1: if you have long leader hosen, if you have short
Speaker 1: leader hos it, if you have brown here, then you
Speaker 1: go up, you know, and so he was a long
Speaker 1: leaders in all those people they go and whoever can
Speaker 1: stay on for the longest wins, and by the way,
Speaker 1: they win nothing.
Speaker 4: And this thing is.
Speaker 5: Spinning the whole time, so it doesn't never stop. So
Speaker 5: if you get spared off, oh yeah, you go flying.
Speaker 1: And also there's people with giant fucking lessoos trying to
Speaker 1: pull you off the thing as well, and other people
Speaker 1: trying to push you off. So I go, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: so long leaders. He goes, yeah, so you've my leader
Speaker 1: hosen came past my knee. So if he says leader
Speaker 1: hose and passing that, you should have a crack.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: So we stand there at the round finishes.
Speaker 1: Then the next round he yells something and all these
Speaker 1: people go on, and I noticed that they all had
Speaker 1: one thing in common. They were all of some sort
Speaker 1: of African descent. And I turned the old arms next
Speaker 1: to me, was like, what's he called down here? And
Speaker 1: he goes, ah, if you are black that he was
Speaker 1: trying to paint it as this wholesome like if you're this, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's He's just said black people, which is so so
Speaker 1: all of the black people in the crowd are now
Speaker 1: in the middle.
Speaker 2: Of that king less suit. It was it was wow.
Speaker 1: And the woman that by the time that she came
Speaker 1: off the thing, she was basically hold tide skirt up
Speaker 1: around he and I was like, well, weird, right, let's
Speaker 1: get out of here.
Speaker 6: What the hell.
Speaker 1: There was the there's a video of it, not that
Speaker 1: round a different round top on the Instagram story.
Speaker 6: Can't have a look, try and make heads and tails
Speaker 6: of it.
Speaker 1: I think the other social media thing that actually I
Speaker 1: cocked a bit of concern from friends and family funk
Speaker 1: or used Today morning, what's this video?
Speaker 2: You're doing drugs?
Speaker 1: All ever?
Speaker 2: So sure?
Speaker 1: And ger Lane's in a dancing chicken hat telling y'all,
Speaker 1: and I was like, no, it's what do they call it?
Speaker 2: Snuff?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a used to have caffeine and it doesn't anymore.
Speaker 5: It's just menthol. Yeah, it's just a menthol powder, which
Speaker 5: the way the waiter said, it's it's called october fairst cocaine,
Speaker 5: and he goes, yeah, go for it, just put on
Speaker 5: your hand.
Speaker 1: But it's yeah, but it's like sniffing dried toothpaste, yeah,
Speaker 1: or like yes to what's the point of it?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 5: It does clean it does. It cleans your nasal passage
Speaker 5: for a bit, and then it blocks it up later yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you lose your voice. It got the
Speaker 2: desired effect.
Speaker 5: I got a lot of messages as well, yours from
Speaker 5: friends and family.
Speaker 3: Mine was mainly from legal so that video doesn't exist anymore.
Speaker 3: Then take it down.
Speaker 2: It's good, but the people were doing it now like Scarface.
Speaker 5: People just came back up powder all over their faces
Speaker 5: and no one came a ship.
Speaker 2: You know, another beer and your face, guys, stay, that's
Speaker 2: so good.
Speaker 1: Only in Germany would someone see a guy with white
Speaker 1: powder all over their face? And would you like a
Speaker 1: lead of six and a half percent beer? Absolutely bring
Speaker 1: it out and a pork knuckle. Pork knuckle is delicious.
Speaker 1: The tents, it's all sort of blurring into into one thing.
Speaker 1: Did you guys go on any of the rides?
Speaker 4: I went on the Fairest Wheel for the second time
Speaker 4: in two days. That's the only right.
Speaker 3: For the reason, I just keep going for the fairest wheels.
Speaker 4: I don't know why.
Speaker 3: I tried to get an aperol sprits on there, and
Speaker 3: they didn't allow me to take an aperol sprits on board.
Speaker 5: The Okay, first, he's backing up an aperol sprits at
Speaker 5: the beer face.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well Kate brought me in aperol spirits and all
Speaker 3: sort of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah me. There was four of us there
Speaker 1: and we got them. I think, what didn't help?
Speaker 4: You got one too.
Speaker 2: I carry that it didn't help that we.
Speaker 1: Just about fell out of a jandle's walking to like
Speaker 1: from where we bought.
Speaker 2: The stuff to the Fairest Wheel.
Speaker 3: They don't seem to mind, though, They're like, yeah, I
Speaker 3: hop up in that, don't worry, don't worry about it.
Speaker 4: Just don't take your drink.
Speaker 2: Don't take your drink.
Speaker 4: Don't take We're not smoking it though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well not technically. I did get told off for
Speaker 1: smoking at one point. Really yeah, yeah, you got me.
Speaker 1: I went on that Fairest Will three times and I
Speaker 1: think I would have got through a pack and a half.
Speaker 3: And I don't remember even looking out from it like
Speaker 3: I was on the first you were on the fierste
Speaker 3: you were, I don't know if you were yesterday. I've
Speaker 3: got I wasn't yesterday. I was recaving from whipplesh. I
Speaker 3: was laughing so much on the Fairest weel just joking
Speaker 3: with the people that were in my little in my
Speaker 3: little bubble, yeah, and I just I forgot to even
Speaker 3: look out. The next thing, you know, the ride was
Speaker 3: over and I was like, oh wi gow He with like,
Speaker 3: yeah we did. We did like four or five laps.
Speaker 6: Okay, very chill the fair as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good song.
Speaker 1: I couldn't stomach the roller coasters or anything I did.
Speaker 2: I did the rock roller coaster. Yeah, there's a photo.
Speaker 5: There is a photo circulating, and I if you think
Speaker 5: my soul had left me on day one, there's no soul,
Speaker 5: Like there's a photo, and Thenastasia's next to me having
Speaker 5: the time of her life and I am basically gone.
Speaker 1: At one point on the first night we went that
Speaker 1: we found bumper cars. Oh you had the They were
Speaker 1: good fun, but you had the chicking head on. And
Speaker 1: I was doing laps of the bumper car thing, you know,
Speaker 1: bumming into people. I turned the corner and someone had
Speaker 1: hit lane and his car hage stopped.
Speaker 4: Across the other side of a target.
Speaker 3: He were well, Joe, jury is a tag because because
Speaker 3: can't let it moved anywhere.
Speaker 4: So he was just you couldn't get a token to
Speaker 4: go into the thing, so he's just sitting there. He
Speaker 4: couldn't even move.
Speaker 1: So when I came around the corner and I just
Speaker 1: see Lane sitting there in his car, is not moving,
Speaker 1: my eyes lit up and I pull on head on
Speaker 1: and the bumpers. I hit him so hard the chicken
Speaker 1: hat came off when flying across the rink.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I t boned number the blindsided him.
Speaker 3: He didn't see me coming or and I just watched
Speaker 3: his neck just just terrible weblash.
Speaker 5: That is one of the most real life examples of
Speaker 5: why you should never get behind the wheel.
Speaker 3: After a few pers It's been a long time since
Speaker 3: I've been on the dodge, and I forget.
Speaker 4: You turn the wheel and then all of a sudden
Speaker 4: it starts going backwards. Yes, so you don't quite you
Speaker 4: never quite can steer it perfectly.
Speaker 1: I could not wrap my head around the steering mechanism. No,
Speaker 1: I just said when it came to t bating me
Speaker 1: straight line drive against later, all of a sudden it
Speaker 1: made sense to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, there's a million rides. For some reason,
Speaker 3: I sort of forgot really about the rides part of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I didn't even know that there was
Speaker 1: a big part of it. I've only even seen the
Speaker 1: videos of the tents, but the rollercoasters and that kind
Speaker 1: of thing itself would have been probably the biggest thing
Speaker 1: in New Zealand had ever seen if it was in
Speaker 1: New Zealand. The motorbike dudes, the motorbike Circle of Death.
Speaker 5: Without helmets, helmet, no helmets, no safety inknit. So basically
Speaker 5: it's like this colosseum of dudes riding. Well, they look
Speaker 5: like Indian motorbikes or in fields or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's like basically a picture like the inside
Speaker 1: of a barrel is basically what they're in. And they
Speaker 1: start riding around and around and around, like horizontal to
Speaker 1: the floor, up and down. You're standing at the top
Speaker 1: of it looking down. It's terrifying. They come so close
Speaker 1: to you. You could high five of them if you
Speaker 1: want to. One of the guys was like riding side Settle.
Speaker 1: He was sitting on the handlebars. At one point he's
Speaker 1: like not locking, who's going. Then at one point all
Speaker 1: four of them are going at the same time. It
Speaker 1: was one of the wildest things I've ever seen in
Speaker 1: my life. It was such a I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't even know how to describe it. I think there's
Speaker 1: a video of it.
Speaker 5: But also at the end of it, because Excellent, the
Speaker 5: our dear friend Excellent was translating for us. But at
Speaker 5: the end, the very last ride, they say that they
Speaker 5: can't get life insurance, yes, or any insurance, so if
Speaker 5: you could please contribute, and everyone befts money into the barrel.
Speaker 5: So they're riding around these these euros floating down to
Speaker 5: the bottom of the barrel.
Speaker 1: I tipped them twenty euros, which is forty bucks. It
Speaker 1: is that a fucking twenty Oh No, I think.
Speaker 2: I've ever got no health insurance?
Speaker 3: Well, I wouldn't want to ensure them either. Shit, no,
Speaker 3: there's no way you I mean how I don't know.
Speaker 3: Did Xel tell you how often someone has a crash?
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 5: Well, that's my third time in that barrel. You love
Speaker 5: the barrel for me, I came out more injured than
Speaker 5: than the guys in the motorbikes.
Speaker 2: The barrel roaders.
Speaker 4: Is that why you've got all your grazes? Do you fat?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: Well, look at your knees, man, Wow, it could have
Speaker 4: been worse.
Speaker 3: Well, okay, maybe if you broke your leg it could
Speaker 3: be worse. Maybe a deep cat or something like that,
Speaker 3: like you've got them all up here. It looks like
Speaker 3: you've been at the bottom of a ruck. Well, did
Speaker 3: you get rucked? Oh yeah, what's that?
Speaker 8: No, Callum and I we did actually put a scrum
Speaker 8: down against against the Mercedes. Mercedes was getting smart. We
Speaker 8: took it on, packed out a two man scrum.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I woke last night too, so I sort of made
Speaker 3: my way home and then went to bed, and I
Speaker 3: awoke to the lights turning on and then just like
Speaker 3: there's just Lane just staring at me with a blank
Speaker 3: look on his face, like you look like.
Speaker 4: He lost his soul completely to be home, and Callum looking.
Speaker 3: And Callum pokes his hit around the corner. And then
Speaker 3: I know what you two were doing. But like you
Speaker 3: talk about fifteen minutes to go to bed, you were
Speaker 3: fluffing and fluffing, and there's a lot of shushing, but
Speaker 3: you were speaking so loud to be like yelling at
Speaker 3: me in mixing you'd be, but you shushing was even
Speaker 3: louder than than the talking. And then finally you went
Speaker 3: to bed in your clothes, but you didn't lie on
Speaker 3: the bed. You just lay on the end of the
Speaker 3: bed and you just lay face up, just snoring like.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of issues. There was a lot
Speaker 1: of it. We've had a couple of those. On the
Speaker 1: first night, Joe came back into our room. I don't
Speaker 1: know how, but I came home much later than him
Speaker 1: and he wasn't in the room. And then later on
Speaker 1: that night he did what Matt Heath did last year
Speaker 1: in Paris, where he opened the wrong door in the
Speaker 1: middle of the night to go to the toilet and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden locked himself out the way indies.
Speaker 2: I had to go down to reception.
Speaker 4: It's not the first time he's done that.
Speaker 2: Heath did it last year. No, he did.
Speaker 5: He was heating in the I think he urinating in
Speaker 5: the fire fire escape.
Speaker 3: Where's the problem? You're out there and you've gone to
Speaker 3: go to the toilet. You're still going to go to
Speaker 3: the toilet. And then the pressure comes on because it's like,
Speaker 3: we can't get off my floor. Are we going to go?
Speaker 3: You just look for pop flows.
Speaker 2: Anyone on the left with you when you're in there.
Speaker 1: The other thing is he gets to the counter and
Speaker 1: she's like what rumor? And she's like, oh, I don't know,
Speaker 1: And you got that card you had a GISs out
Speaker 1: of it, and they said, no, you're not.
Speaker 2: In the room.
Speaker 4: Oh no, and then.
Speaker 6: Find a ship.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: We woke up this morning and yesterday I decided that
Speaker 1: we needed to do a load of laundry. So we
Speaker 1: went for a walk and dropped the laundry off. When
Speaker 1: we put our bags with these two plastic bags full
Speaker 1: of our clothes, the whole German lady behind the thing
Speaker 1: just goes MO and me, why was she bad smell?
Speaker 1: She didn't want to wash the clothes. She was trying
Speaker 1: to dissuade us at every opportunity. She charged us seventy
Speaker 1: euros in the inn for both of them. He laundry
Speaker 1: mat and the person who job to wash clothes. She
Speaker 1: didn't want to wash.
Speaker 4: Your cloth seventy euros.
Speaker 3: I never had one hundred and forty hundred forty dollars
Speaker 3: to wash your clothes.
Speaker 6: Well, it gets worse because we went back to check
Speaker 6: this morning.
Speaker 2: The place's shots.
Speaker 4: Oh no, we're going to leave today.
Speaker 2: We leave today. You just gifted your clothes.
Speaker 6: No, I haven't gifted you paid for it.
Speaker 4: You paid them to steal your clothes. Wow.
Speaker 1: So we were saying, if you come back to october
Speaker 1: Fish next year you'll find a bunch of doades dressed
Speaker 1: up like a sc wounders.
Speaker 2: They've got all of our clothes.
Speaker 1: Yeh explored ultra party shirts A fuck absolute disaster. So
Speaker 1: that's our first portocoll after we finish does po CA.
Speaker 1: I'm gotta say, I think if you are coming to Octoberfest,
Speaker 1: I think two days is about the sweet spot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because by that second day I felt like I knew
Speaker 1: what I was doing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the first day you spend bewildered trying to figure
Speaker 2: it all out.
Speaker 4: What's this?
Speaker 1: What's there? I'm going to try everything. Second day I
Speaker 1: felt like I settled into it a little bit. I
Speaker 1: knew the protocols and knew what was going to happen.
Speaker 4: That was the thing.
Speaker 3: We didn't even see what I mean, I think I
Speaker 3: didn't even see a quarter. I probably saw a quarter
Speaker 3: of Oh. Yeah, we didn't go into every into every hall. No,
Speaker 3: there were heaps that we didn't go into.
Speaker 1: This is a very new Zealand thing. We and I've
Speaker 1: noticed this and all of the places we've been. We
Speaker 1: sit down and we'll stay there for like six hours,
Speaker 1: whereas Europeans they'll come and they'll have one drink, they'll
Speaker 1: move on to the next bar. Yeah, I think, because
Speaker 1: there's not enough bars back home, so we don't there's
Speaker 1: not like another.
Speaker 2: Place to go.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But we sat outsidewhere and tried to get into one
Speaker 1: of the halls and we did and we went up
Speaker 1: the front and we were dancing on the tables, and
Speaker 1: then they had a booking for a certain time, so
Speaker 1: they cleared us out of the tables and we're like, oh,
Speaker 1: we'll just go and sit outside. Well, they clear this
Speaker 1: up and then we'll figure it out. Were there like
Speaker 1: three hours? Yeah, yeah, sitting outside finishing our drinks, finishing
Speaker 1: our drinks, right, they bg you down, you can't get out.
Speaker 3: Well, there's table service. I mean, that's the amazing thing.

Speaker 3: the Why so why are there any female waiters waitresses.
Speaker 5: There was a couple of dudes in the Lizard Tent.
Speaker 2: There was dudes in the Peak Pin.
Speaker 4: I don't think, oh they don't think.
Speaker 2: I don't think that going to the Lizard.
Speaker 1: The Lizard Tent was just so virial, great great band
Speaker 1: though the band played.
Speaker 3: All in English. Yeah, yeah, because I knew it's a
Speaker 3: targeting and it was. They went healthful over that band.
Speaker 3: It was more of a concert really. It was United
Speaker 3: Nations though, because like we were with some Italians, then
Speaker 3: we're hanging out with some Indians, and then there was
Speaker 3: some New Zealanders.
Speaker 4: Then there was a Canadian. We're hanging out with.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the Canadian got up and scaled the steine.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he did it in about three seconds and then
Speaker 5: got off and it was very disappointed.
Speaker 4: His name Dylan Dylan. Yeah, Dylan, he's.
Speaker 5: Got up, big beard, stood up. He got the crowd
Speaker 5: going first. Yes, it's still on the table, but it's like,

Speaker 5: he nicked his sign, got back off and a waights
Speaker 5: like another beer.
Speaker 2: Beer, like it is good.
Speaker 1: And just like you said, the Lizard tint there were
Speaker 1: lizards in there.
Speaker 3: We were we were four of them. We can't sit
Speaker 3: down at the Lizard tin. It's standing only standing. Lena's yeah,
Speaker 3: which is helpful. I mean everyone's going to stand up anyway.
Speaker 3: That's what I've sort of noticede everyone stands on the tables. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's right with.
Speaker 5: The old tradition of the lizard tint is and the
Speaker 5: weekends when all the fall lizards come.
Speaker 2: You can't wear under You can't wear underwear in there?
Speaker 4: Why not? I don't know.
Speaker 2: They take you.
Speaker 5: They pulled the underwear off you, like basically rip it
Speaker 5: off you, and then they throw it up onto the
Speaker 5: rotating peg above you. Because you saw the rotating per
Speaker 5: gay with the glockenspield with the glocke.
Speaker 4: It turns.
Speaker 5: And then the end of the weekend, it's the cabin
Speaker 5: and bras undies. It's just ripping of underwear. That's full lizard.
Speaker 5: But the midweek lizards and is the weekend lizards because
Speaker 5: they're not good.
Speaker 4: We were midweek lizards.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can imagine that the Saturday night lizards must
Speaker 3: be next level.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the undies mustn't be good because said before,
Speaker 1: Joe and I have got about one pair of undies
Speaker 1: between us at the moment. All of our clothes are
Speaker 1: locked away in the fucking dry cleaner and Central Munich.
Speaker 5: If you're an experienced lizard, you go with like undies
Speaker 5: ready to go, so you'll have a p official special undies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not just the guys.
Speaker 5: Girls as well get the bras and because everything gets taken.
Speaker 3: Off there weren't a lot of females in the in
Speaker 3: the lizard zone.
Speaker 2: There's a reason.
Speaker 5: Did you notice they notice that huge sausage fest in
Speaker 5: the lizard zone.
Speaker 3: So the Lizard, the Lizard ten again, opera house, half
Speaker 3: half hb everyone goes h boo.
Speaker 4: And it's one of the bigger ones.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean, like, I don't know if I
Speaker 3: go back to the I wouldn't go back to the
Speaker 3: Lizard tent again.
Speaker 4: Well I did like the middle Ground.
Speaker 5: You wanted to see the Lizard t so you now
Speaker 5: you've seen it. It was just about jammed in loft
Speaker 5: and brow was the best one.
Speaker 4: Great there was a yellow tin right Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great spectrumer because when we went in
Speaker 1: yesterday we had lunch at the Golden.
Speaker 2: Chicken Chicken House. The Chicken House, Yeah, chicken house.
Speaker 1: So you go and it's like this old wooden log
Speaker 1: cabin and it's got a giant chicken on.
Speaker 2: Top of it.
Speaker 1: As you do, you go inside and it's like it
Speaker 1: feels like a little like old Wild West saloon sort of.
Speaker 1: You're sitting in little booths. They came out and serve you.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't believe this chicken, how good is the chicken
Speaker 1: mat tremenda? Is that chicken juicy? It was so delicious
Speaker 1: and God, they don't funk around with the once you
Speaker 1: order it. The next time you see your way, do
Speaker 1: they have your food in the hand ready to go?
Speaker 1: It's like two minutes.
Speaker 5: The potato salad also is a tub each of potatoes
Speaker 5: and butter.
Speaker 1: And that's all it us. You get a meat and
Speaker 1: the spuds and that's it. Because they're like, we know
Speaker 1: what we're doing, Like this is good. Ship both these ingredients.
Speaker 1: It's basically gout. We just had gout for lunch, massive
Speaker 1: gout rich.
Speaker 2: How is the lynx and the toilet?
Speaker 4: So what did you do to the Why did you
Speaker 4: do it?
Speaker 3: Ship around the outside of the toilet? Why did you
Speaker 3: shoot on the toilet? You came back and you're like, oh,
Speaker 3: you don't want to you don't want to sit down, and.
Speaker 4: It's like it's discussed with you.
Speaker 6: The sun was still up at that point as well.
Speaker 2: It's not a lizard tin. It was becoming that way.
Speaker 1: I mean we got through three steines each sitting there,
Speaker 1: three steins of espresso Martini.
Speaker 4: Yespresially Martini. That tod' help.
Speaker 3: I bought a jingle jngle thing go around to go
Speaker 3: on my leader housend on the front of my leader housend.
Speaker 3: But it just added a huge amount of complication to
Speaker 3: getting my getting my bets out because you.
Speaker 4: Know, on the in the leading housing it's really hard.
Speaker 4: You've got to undo.
Speaker 3: Firstly, you put the flap down and then you've and
Speaker 3: then that's got two buttons on it, so you got
Speaker 3: to undo this buttons, and then there's the next bit
Speaker 3: and and then there's three buttons in there that you've got,
Speaker 3: so if you if you're in a hurry, it's it's
Speaker 3: not good, you know.
Speaker 1: And there's a wood buttons through leather as well, so
Speaker 1: that's white fid negally.
Speaker 3: And so this jingle jngle thing just goes from one
Speaker 3: button to the other in front of your downstairs and
Speaker 3: jingles angles in front of it, and it's got like,
Speaker 3: you know a bit of an old tooth and then
Speaker 3: some some here from something that you killed. Basically you
Speaker 3: want to put things that you've killed on you. That's
Speaker 3: the whole German idea. And so you've got the jingle
Speaker 3: jingle in front, and I had to try and get
Speaker 3: the bloody jingle jngle out of the way, and it
Speaker 3: just added this level of complication.
Speaker 9: You have to unhatch the jingle jingle and dangle dangle, No,
Speaker 9: you sort of lift it up. I ended up going
Speaker 9: way through the jingle jingle. No, I'm just like, oh,
Speaker 9: I can't be by well, I couldn't get it up.
Speaker 9: I couldn't get it up, but I couldn't left the
Speaker 9: bloody thing all the flaps, and I've got too many
Speaker 9: things to hold.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to push the jingle jingle to the side bag.
Speaker 3: I'm just going through the.
Speaker 6: So it's dripping passes. You come back to the list.
Speaker 1: You quite a bit going on by the interviews today,
Speaker 1: because they also come around and took our photo and
Speaker 1: then they said, do you guys want to buy it?
Speaker 1: Not really, And then all of a sudden, you've got
Speaker 1: this giant love heart photo frame thing.
Speaker 4: I vaguely remember that where are they? Where are they?
Speaker 2: They make it?
Speaker 4: Hans in our room. Yeah, and we've got it and
Speaker 4: it says it.
Speaker 1: Says wow guys. On the side of it just says
Speaker 1: we have wow guys, which I don't really know that that.
Speaker 1: I mean, that doesn't mean much to me In English.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a German thinks it was.
Speaker 3: Part of our thing is that if if anyone comes
Speaker 3: by and offers you anything, you have to buy it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was ours.
Speaker 3: So we ended up buying roses, pins, pans, a jingle
Speaker 3: jingle thing. Chicken had that stupid photo with the love
Speaker 3: heart the snuff badgers. But yeah, real breath of fresh
Speaker 3: air who I bought a badge of. And what else
Speaker 3: is in and some photos that we had taken.
Speaker 2: What's the pig thing?
Speaker 1: Did you notice that the frail lines they have pigs
Speaker 1: and they just clip them onto their dress and they
Speaker 1: have different things written on them.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it means.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I know that if you do
Speaker 3: your bow up to the right, it means that you're married,
Speaker 3: and if you do it up to the left, it
Speaker 3: means that you're available. Yes, actually what a good system.
Speaker 3: And the medals and the metal means you're married. But
Speaker 3: you'll have a crack.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, Kate, who was probably the only actually the only
Speaker 1: female that was with us on the second On the
Speaker 1: second day, she she.
Speaker 2: Showed up with it tired on the wrong side.
Speaker 1: She didn't know that, so she showed up and so
Speaker 1: she said, oh my god, I had no idea. I'll
Speaker 1: change it over to the other side. But what was
Speaker 1: more concerning is that she also didn't have a winning
Speaker 1: ring on, so that was harder to explain.
Speaker 2: Jee's got the photo.
Speaker 3: Now here's the photo, which says Groff far Oktoberfest. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and there we would look like a bunch of lizards.
Speaker 4: Look at us.

Speaker 1: where's Fell? Were a little bit concerned. You didn't hear
Speaker 1: from him? Well, Fell shit himself in his leaders.
Speaker 2: Ever shit yourself yourself in.
Speaker 5: A leader hosen is probably the best best result because he.
Speaker 4: Hos it down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right. Well that's why it's called leader hosen,
Speaker 2: hose the ship out of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So then he found himself at a laundromer.
