The blue, gold and red ribbon wraps around our chest.
The fierce weapon in our hand. The song that rings so cheerfully.
Thy glory is forever new. Germania, thy honor.
Germans Up! Mugs high! To friendship and to honor.
Germans Up! Mugs high! To friendship and to honor.
Hail Germania!
You can make a rough joke here, without anyone being offended,
you can be politically incorrect.
What are your hobbies, what do you like? You always get the same answers:
I love to travel, I want to see the world,
I want to study and help people or some bullshit they won't end up doing
except for traveling, they all do that.
When I was younger, I was kind of shy.
I don't think that will happen again.
You just have to keep going, that's what makes a man.
Hi! ” il i! What's Up?
So, how are things? Great, thanks!
Want something to drink? Yeah, sure! Maybe water, non-sparkling.
Or what are you going to have?
Beer! Beer! 0k, beer, why not.
Have a seat.
So, it's good to have you here.
My pleasure!
How is it going? Survived work?
Hi, want something to drink?
Shots?
So, what have you heard about all of this so far?
Hmmm?
I mean about what we do as fraternity people? Did they tell you anything about that?
Not a whole lot, unfortunately. I've heard a lot about it, but from people who are not in a fraternity.
So I don't know if they have a clue.
Most of it is wrong and the other half is exaggerated.
So what I've actually been told is this:
Some said that it's good for networking during and after your studies.
And some were trying to make me scared about the fencing part.
It's super safe!
Yes, I've heard that, too.
Well, I think the networking part is really cool,
and meeting people outside of your own field of studies.
I'm studying to become an engineer. This way, I get to meet people who study law or theology or all kinds of things.
That's what I've heard.
Yes, that's right. For example:
If someone's friend has a job, they will ask around in our group first.
So they will check if anyone within our fraternity wants it before posting the job publicly.
We'll go downstairs first. Yes, let's go downstairs.
So it's called "acceptation” when you get the two-colored ribbon, and become a Fuchs, a “fox”.
I'm sure you've heard about this. You're a fox in the beginning.
Next is the “reception”, which is where you get the third color.
Both are very solemn occasions. These are the most formative experiences here.
The room is darkened, they light candles, and there are three people in full uniform.
Well, it's always very impressive.
Let's have a look at the "convent room"!
On the ceiling, everything is paneled. See these lions on all sides of the room?
You will notice that they alternate between having their mouth open and shut.
That means there is free speech within the corps, you can say whatever you want.
You can be yourself, you can always give your opinion.
That's what the lion with the open mouth stands for.
The closed mouth means you should also listen.
... and be discrete towards the outside world!
You can say whatever you want in here, but not to the outside world.
That's what we have the “convent” for.
All full members meet once a week to make important decisions.
Like petitions for punishment, when there's been misconduct, or to plan a party.
We have members from all over the world. America, Japan, Russia - we even have Kazakhs!
I am German, what's your problem?!
0k, moving on!
So this is our fox. He is always present for fox-hour.
Real fox - stuffed, obviously.
Here you can see how our sabers are built. This one is a so-called “Korbschliger”.
For a real duel against another student the blade will be sharpened.
It is pretty sharp then.
You're only allowed to hit on the head.
So you keep hitting up here.
In the corps, everything is about maturing as a human being and cultivating personality.
And when you're able to do this - it does take courage - there's nothing left to be scared of.
You'll think, "an exam at university - peanuts!”.
And even when the other students think they're telling you great stories.
They won't have done anything like this.
The set of rules developed gradually, so it got safer and safer,
so the last time somebody died was pretty long ago...
It was 15 years ago. A blade splintered and hit a spectator in the eye.
In Brazil we do not have these fraternities.
We have similar institutions, but nothing like a student corps.
I talked with the fencing instructor, who is also from Brazil, and he told me something very nice,
especially for me being all alone in Munich.
The fraternity, the corps, is like a mother.
You learn how to behave, you learn about history, tradition.
They support you, with classes on time-management class or self-defense, or with an internship - everything.
And you also have friends who support you.
Where is the light switch?
Ah, the light is broken.
This really is one of the nicer rooms.
Yes! Perfect!
200 Euro for something in this location - in Munich?!
This is perfect, I mean, if you all agree. The sooner I can move in, the better.
Well it's only for those who join.
So just think about it for now.
And then we can talk about it at the Octoberfest.
Definitely, definitely!
It's pretty much a done deal.
Yeah, well I'm looking forward to it.
You'll know people all over the world.
In late October for instance, we're visiting another corps in Hamburg.
We'll stay with them and drink for free.
And you get to know other people.
You just exchange phone numbers and go there for a weekend.
That's really cool!
That's networking. But you do have to approach people. They won't just come to you.
But you're quite the talker anyway - so it'll be fine.
Yes, thank you! Cheers!
And one,

Hail Germania! Hail Germania!
For a long time, you only understand parts of this universe.
I didn't come here because I didn't have anyone to talk to
and was looking for a self-help-group,
but that was one of the reasons why I liked it here.
When you're the oldest one in the group,
you obviously don't want to...
Uhm... how can I put this?
You don't want to play the part of the foot soldier forever.
I want to take responsibility and influence!
1 want to be a role model...
give something back, but also to be able to lead.
So last time I told you to think about what kind of feedback you have for the corps...
I know you haven't been here for a long time, but what's your impression so far?
Did we keep our promises? Or is anything going in the wrong direction?
Anything we can do better? What's your impression?
So, first about the corps in general?
Yes, it's exactly as you promised and exactly the way my first impression was.
There's just one problem:
I need a little more time. But I don't think there's anything that needs to be changed.
I think it's just a matter of practice.
I'll probably catch up over time.
1 do not want the other five or six foxes to be slower just because of me.
Obviously, I have some important questions,
and I'll interrupt the fox-hour to ask them.
But if it's a small thing, I'll write it down and ask later or do my own research.
I hereby open the second RC of the winter semester 2016 at 8:15 pm.
My voice is a little sore so I will hold myself back a little today.
We'll start with the “Germanen-Lied”.
Germania's flight strives upwards, protected by fierce spears.
Germans up! Mugs high! To friendship and to honor.
Germans up! Mugs high! To friendship and to honor.
Hail Germania!
Protocol of the first RC on 17 October 2016.
Secretary: fox Schiebelhut.
Attendees: fox major Brandl, fox Mesquita, Loskan, Patschke, Dick, Seuling and Schiebelhut.
Absentees: none. Guests: Corps-boy Jungbluth. Duration: 8:15 to 10:20 pm.
Topic 1 - Toast: Opening the RC with the “Germanen-Lied” and a toast.
Topic 2 - Internal Affairs:
Call for fox Loskan and fox Mesquita to take a photo in full uniform for the website,
as well as to fill out the data sheet in the internal area and submit a CV.
Clothing: Couleur-capable, collar, long pants, no holes.
Black suit for events. Full uniform for fencing events.
Fox-equipment: Consisting of a handkerchief, a pen, a semester program and a condom,
also corps-boy-equipment.
Time specifications: s.t. - sine tempore, on time. c.t. - cum tempore.
Alright!
Concerning the times, you made a small mistake: there is always a dot between each letter.
Then the second. The second MSC- Corps, Dick?
Red, Blue, White - Palacia.
Exactly, and the date of their foundation?
1813.
Wonderful!
Is it the second one?
Dick?
Colors?
Black-white-green.
No.
Isn't it dark green, white, light green or something?
0k, open your manuals, this is just horrible.
Something green or blue?
What is so special about the Bavarians in Munich?
They have the oldest corps house.
Not what I'm looking for.
They were founded before the Ludwig-Maximilian-University in Munich.
That's not what I meant.
The fraternity Isaria emerged from them?
No, what makes you say that?
No idea - just because.
Creative...
“Bavaria” is a “life corps”, which means they still have the one-ribbon principle.
May I ask for a handkerchief, please?
Most of them feel greater than they really are.
Not all of them.
But they are stirring each other up, that the stories get better.
That's the case for most of them.
But who likes to admit they have a fucked up life.
0k, not fucked up, but a bit boring.
I never had any doubts!
Even during exam period - there were many events.
And I thought I'd rather do something for the fraternity than for the exam.
Which was stupid, really, because I didn't pass any of the exams, but well...
Where is Seuling? On the way, he thought 2 pm instead of 1 pm.
(On the phone) Hi, tell me, are you on your way?
Today is “Mensur”!
Today! It's Hansel's duel today!
Hansel's padded gloves and hand protection.
Groin protection
When laziness wins...
You have to try it.
This one is tighter.
Just put everything on a pile, so it's all in one place.
Please take my glasses.
Higher...
You gotta...
Now you can ...
Got it! Do you?
Yes.
I think it feels pretty good ...
Nobody, except for Seuling, wants the leather bandage.
This always slips out to the side
You have to hold this while I pull, or it won't work.
This one goes up.
OK. I got it down there.
You have to hold on to the sides.
Guys, guys, guys, - concentrate!
Like this... now around ...
Stay up ...
Okay, now you're beautiful again.
Isn't this pretty...
You've got a hole there, I could...
Can you still breathe? Yes.
Then the chain armor.
We'll pull it up when we put it on...
It's alright. Done.
Ready... Up, please start!
I don't know why it shouldn't fit into our society today.
On the one hand, it's a counter weight to the other side,
where people are becoming sloppier and increasingly bored with the world.
And it's always important to have a counter weight. To have something in both directions.
I think there is a trend towards nostalgic and traditional things these days.
Starting with food and the production of goods, furniture and clothing.
Wanting to withdraw from this digitalized, fast world,
many people need a bit of a retreat.
Since we decided on Tuesday to quit smoking for now,
I'd like to give you some tools,
so you can approach this a bit more strategically.
One is called the grow tool.
The G stands for goal.
What's my goal, where am I headed?
Define it for yourself.
Maybe think about why you want to do this.
When you are going at this - write it down, or just some key points.
I like to add a little drawing, to visualize things.
So you define, what exactly do I want to achieve, exactly where do I want to go.
Then R is the reality.
Where do I stand right now?
You have to be honest with yourself about this,
including all the advantages and disadvantages, all the positive and all the negative stuff.
You have to be completely aware of the situation you are in now.
Write that down as well.
Then we have O for options.
Think like "0k, how do I get from reality to my goal?"
I'll be there in a minute!
And the W is for “way”.
You need to really define the milestones you want to reach.
Where will I be in a week, a month, a year from now.
Then sit down with someone who supports you
and think about how far you've come and what you might need to change.
Now I'll go downstairs, take care of the drinks and pay, and then I'll show you the "Ultimate Success Formula".
Working towards enforced conformity ... ermm... social equality!
Why am I carrying this? Jungbluth, Dick, Seuling!
This is pretty alright, I remembered it being worse.
So, you're at the bottom of the pecking order.
You make a mistake, you pay for it.
You are always slaving away.
They're always asking for the foxes to prepare for and to clean up after events.
The high-ranking boys with the three-color ribbon are in command.
They also help out, but the main work-load is on the foxes.
And it's a lot of work. At some point you're fed up with being pushed around.
You want to be able to lead and that's just not possible as a fox.
You're just running around all the time.
We could also turn it into a brothel.
There is red light as well!
Have fun with it.
Yes! Yes!
They're screwing us wherever they can!
Yeah!
Ah, you almost caught him!
Woops, what was that on my foot?
Follow-up Stollberg Lounge: On the financial side, we made a 100 EUR plus - that's nice!
Other than that, what did you think of the lounge event? What went well, what went bad?
I'll start.
So, in the beginning, it was a bit lame, I think.
Because of the guests and also because people were just sitting around, silently.
Come on, it was only eight o'clock. At eight o'clock, there's...
Silentium!
The beer pong really lightened things up and that saved the evening.
Senior, would you explain to me what beer pong is?
It's a drinking game, where you're trying to throw a ping-pong ball into a beer glass.
Ah, okay!
Well, I agree...
It kind of killed the event, you have to admit.
We planned a lounge evening, and the lounge area was empty.
Instead there were ten different groups outside in the vestibule - which was not the plan.
And when you guys are playing beer pong, you are taking two people away from us eight.
It takes two at the bar, one for cleaning, so three people had to take care of 40 guests.
It's not just “woohoo, we're having fun” - we're the hosts!
And as a host, you have to take care of the guests and entertain them.
From that perspective, it was a major failure.
To split up an event is always crap.
Because then it falls apart. You can't control it anymore, everyone is at their own little event
and that's not what we want.
The Senior asks you today what kind of events you want to have during the summer semester
and everyone can get involved at this stage.
But once we all agreed on something, then it needs to take place as planned.
I think that's the way it is: most events start out slowly,
but it's crucial to stick to your concept and not be swayed,
because those events won't be that great.
I wasn't there, so I can't judge how it went, but I think the Senior's plea is important, so take it seriously.
Then there was another thing that pissed me off.
Did you discuss buying the cups with Sanden or me?
No.
What did I tell you at the first CC?
Previously discuss what we buy.
Correct, thank you!
Then something else I would like to ask you, Schmidt and Hansel.
Bringing down beer, which isn't in the budget - to me, that's active sabotage.
How am I supposed to do the accounting if you keep getting stuff from three different cold storage rooms?
And without even writing it down!
I don't tolerate that.
1 found out about it so that I could write it down, but this is active sabotage.
We will be paying double and triple, if there is a loss of hundreds of bottles again.
That is exactly what happens!
No matter where, be it in a group of friends, a foreign country, or in a fraternity
- with all these groups there is always a particular playing field you're moving in.
And sometimes this field will be pretty small, sometimes a bit bigger.
And sometimes it seems smaller from the outside than what it really is.
You're crazy. I'm an old man.
A rowing machine would be awesome!
Rowing machine...
Okay, let's go!
Good!
Now jumping jacks!
Stop!
Circle your arms!
Stretch!
Good! Sabers in hand. Wrist warm-up.
In the morning, you're like, uhm... I'm still asleep...
Well, you always say we should be able to do this in our sleep.
Oh, not good... at all...
If I forget to push my chair back to the table, I have to drink to learn it.
I thought that was funny.
Usually, it's the other way around. When you drink, you forget and don't learn anything.
But here it is different, and it works, I have to say. Now I hardly ever forget to do it.
The fresh beer, seriously?
What can I do?
Seriously?
I got it for you...
Studying with friends - being active with assholes.
Sure...
I have three vegetarians at home and one who is almost vegan.
I always like to tell them why being a vegetarian or vegan sucks!
And now I have to give a speech about it. And drink. Cheers!
Well that's exactly what it's all about.
Advantages of vegetarianism:
First, quite a few of us know about the poor conditions in factory farming.
Farm animals often live under terrible circumstances. They hardly have any space to live in.
They can't behave according to their natural...
What are you writing down back there?
I just...
You don't have to care now...
As I said, they have no space. They are fattened, which does not correspond to their natural habitat.
Moreover, meat production
being caused by meat eaters, causes large CO2 emissions.
Which, for example, if you only eat... grass...
Excuse me...
..which doesn't happen then.
I would like to thank my dear co-fox Loskan for his speech.
First of all, I would like to comment on factory farming.
We all know that living beings become depressed when they're alone.
If you lock lots of things in a room together, they'll have company, they'll enjoy life
and they'll simply be hanging out with each other.
The CO2 footprint. Okay, that happens when you've got a lot of agriculture.
But honestly, thanks to Trump we know that climate change is just a Chinese hoax.
And even if it did exist, what would be the result of it? We would just have warmer summers.
That's not bad at all, really, everyone likes that.
Well, lots of meat is produced under bad circumstances,
but we have to see it this way: If the animals are given plenty of antibiotics, then we don't have to take them.
We can spare ourselves a visit to the doctor.
Which is very productive for us.
Well, I think that's enough - there is nothing to add. I've talked long enough, so thank you!
Well even if it's absolute bullshit, just keep cool!
Okay, this was a shitty topic, but it doesn't hurt to keep a straight face.
And maybe add a greeting in the beginning. Exactly.
Making it funny is a plus, but this is the intellectual demand of this exercise:
To defend a point of view that you do not share. More opinions on Seuling?
I liked it because of the greeting and even tough this was spontaneous,
the speech ran smoothly, and he was able to articulate the arguments well.
I know it's not that serious but I'd like to comment on the language:
You kept using words like “awesome”. And that wouldn't be used in a speech in my opinion.
Other than that, you did a pretty good job.
Silentium. We'll sing “Oh Tannenbaum”.
On page 139. Does everyone have the page?
Five, six,
five, six, seven, eight.
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, how faithful are your leaves.
You're green not only in summertime,
but also in the winter snow.
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, how faithful are your leaves.
Oh maiden, oh maiden, how false is your heart.
You swore to be faithful to me in my good fortune. Now I am poor and you are gone.
Oh maiden, Oh maiden, how false is your heart.
The nightingale, the nightingale to ....
What was that?
I'd say I'm kind of historically inclined. I mean I love history,
and here you just get the full load in the “fox hours”.
When you're talking about fraternity history or student history
you just get completely hammered by history and I really dig that.
It's a family thing, too. I am the third generation to be part of this.
In my family, it's a tradition to be in a fraternity.
So basically, when you start here and you haven't gone to university before
or done other things, you're still a child.
Some have just graduated from high school,
maybe they were in the military for a year, but in their heads, they're still kids.
And here you have to grow up pretty quickly, just to keep up with the others.
You become a real man pretty quickly. You are forced to, actually.
Stop.
Like this.
Ready? Up! Let's go!
And now you're doing it again.
Don't move your wrist at all! Last four.
Last four.
When I say "Ready" and "Up" your arm has to be here.
Afterwards you do this. Forget your wrist, and it'll work.
Ready? Up! Let's go!
Stop!
Do your 40 push ups and clean up the training room afterwards, ok?
Seuling needs his 40 push ups. Will you make sure he is doing them?
One.
And.
Two.
And.
Three.
And.
Four.
And.
Five.
And.
Six.
And.
Seven.
And.
Eight.
And nine.
And.
You are way to motivated.
And...
And...
And...
I hate you.
I'm not having any fun either.
Yes you are!
And...
Sorry, but I don't know the number “pfffffff”.
You had your knee on the floor. A knee is usually 10 push ups.
Ten.
And.
Eleven.
And.
Twelve.
And.
Two more, please. You can do it.
You can do it from here, too.
One.
No, that's the wrong number.
Fourteen?
Yes, do the fourteeth then. I haven't heard one yet.
Fourteen.
Fifteen.
And one for Germany!
That's leftist hair-splitting.
It's not black and white. When is it nationalism? Nationalism doesn't equal chauvinism.
We're not talking about feeling superior to other cultures or nationalities.
And then to walk the thin line between nationalism and patriotism...
I haven't found a convincing definition yet.
I never thought: “Okay, now I see the difference.”
One sounds less harsh than the other.
I come from a family that either doesn't care about politics at all or voted completely differently.
More liberal or left-wing. They're still somewhere between the social democrats and the Green party.
Now you could say - okay, then my position is classic juvenile counterculture,
but my interest in these things started too early for that.
The first song of the semester's opening event is supposed to represent the mission of the senior,
his intentions for the following semester.
A promise, as well as a duty to which we want to and will hold ourselves,
to live up to ourselves and to our expectations in the coming semester.
No, I want a paraphrase of what I said.
The song should... What's the word I'm looking for...
It should indicate the... not the tone, not the mood...
the aspiration for the upcoming semester! Can you say it like that?
Aspiration? Aspiration! Yes.
Most important are all the gentlemen with our ribbon with the inscription “100 semesters for honor and friendship”.
Ask for their names right away, I don't know them all by heart either.
You're dumb foxes, you can ask.
If I did it, it would be embarrassing.
The representatives of the friendly fraternities. Do you know their colors? No?
No. No.
Ok, I'll find that out myself.
We have the color table!!!
Yes, we can look it up later.
Probably none of the Franconians will come, they're celebrating their anniversary.
The Rhenos are black-white-green, and the Babos are...
Blue - black - white?
Blue - black - white. Yes.
Exactly. But I will find out myself who is representing them.
Next, people with other colors: ask for name and fraternity - very important!
Just say: "Greetings, my name is Mesquita, I am a new fox."
"May I ask you for the name? Excuse me, I don't know all the colors yet, can I also ask for the fraternity?"
Then you'll write it down for me but please so that I can read it.
It's really embarrassing, when I mispronounce the name or get the fraternity wrong.
So please make sure it's correct.
1 wrote it down:
Munich fraternities, other fraternities, Landsmannschaften, Burschenschaften and guests without a ribbon.
Couldn't they have thought of something more dashing than these ugly hats?
I am still a great fan of these side-caps.
Side-caps! They're just so ugly! Id prefer a beret. That's dashing.
And there should be epic music in the background.
We should march in to Star Wars music! That would be fun, right?
Stars Wars banquet!
So everyone from the fraternity has to come in a storm-trooper outfit.
Yeah, that would be awesome!
CHHHHHHHHHHHH - Silentium!
A bit more hoarse! Silentium!
What do you say to the older members? My dear old... and their name, yes?
Exactly.
My dear old dude!
Dude, awesome that you're here!
You're singin' so rad today, dude!
Id prefer it on the right side, too. I'll ask Brandl.
Brandl, is this a democratic system? Because I'd rather wear it on the right.
Me too.
Ok, just do it!
Oh, you're a darling.
Actually it's shit on the right side as well. Maybe we should just don't do it.
So when they ask me: “Well, you're pretty far with your studies, what are your plans?
And then I have to say: "I don't know. But there's still two years left."
"I'm sure there will be an opportunity, which I will take, or not."
"Or I will go in this direction. Or I'll decide on something different."
Then they say: "That's not possible, you've got to know what you want to do with your life, you need a plan."
And then two weeks later, you hear from a co-active of this older member
that he didn't know what he wanted to do with his life when he was a student either.
So I guess your perspective changes over the course of your life. I wouldn't say conflicts,
but it does create some friction.
SILTENTIUM!
Dear corps brothers, dear guests, we'll start with the first song on page 3.6:
“When all become disloyal”.
I ask corps brother Spillner to start the song on the piano.
To the first:
When all become disloyal, we remain loyal.
So that on this earth there'll always be a flag for you.
Companions of our youth, images of a better time,
which consecrated us to manly virtue and to a death out of love.
Silentium.
I would particularly like to welcome the bearers of the ribbon for “100 semesters of honor and friendship”,
0ld Gentleman Raab, Old Gentleman MaRen Il and Old Gentleman Lohse.
Furthermore, I would like to welcome our guests
Mr. Miinch, Mr. Frank, Mr. Schreiber, Mr. Pfundstein, Mr. Tilkner, Mr. Bischof and Mr. Osmanovic.
To the last:
You, stars, are our witnesses, calmly looking down,
When all brothers fall silent, trusting in false idols,
We won't break our word, or act like little boys.
We'll forever preach and speak of the Holy German Empire!
A beautiful song has faded. Cheers to all the joyful singers.
Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!
Silentium.
Dear corps-brothers, dear gentlemen, 1 would like to add a few more words.
I was told that the first song of the opening event should always
reflect the aspirations for the upcoming semester.
The song that we sang is about loyalty. Loyalty to each other,
but also loyalty to your own word, to your principles.
Although we sing this song in this joyful round,
we must always be reminded to meet the aspirations of this song.
We should not sing these songs thoughtlessly, but also think about their meaning.
When I meet corps students, who tell me in all seriousness
that the greatest joy of being in a fraternity is to drink as much beer as possible,
from as large a vessel as possible in the shortest possible time,
and even brag about not passing a single exam during the last semester, I'm just dumbfounded.
What about our duty to not only meet our own aspirations?
What about the aspiration to help our corps-brothers grow from children, from corps-boys, to men?
What about our aspiration to belong to an elite, to the high-performers, which we so like to propagate?
In these situations, it becomes all too apparent that this fidelity to our values,
is not a given, but that it must be cultivated and cherished.
It must become part of who you are, to hold this framework of values high and to carry it on.
Of course, part of our idea of ourselves as a fraternity also has to be a sense of freedom.
Within this playing field, the younger generations may do things differently than older generations.
These are the components needed to conserve and cherish the kind of
loyalty, which I mentioned in the beginning, for generations to come.
But enough of the warning words, I would like to lift my mug to all those present.
Brothers, friends, let's change the world! Let's hold high the colors of our ribbons for friendship and loyalty.
Prost! Prost! Prost! Prost!
The glass is not going to break.
And now another shot of gin.
A shot of gin.
That's not a shot. That's five shots.
Well, a shot is always important.
Come on to the first class.
One moment, fox.
Obviously.
Martini, awesome.
Cheers!
Well, Germany and all that, yeah!
Does anyone want a beer?
You don't want to carry it.
With print? With print.
What sizes are the T-shirts? Medium.
You can get a nice Hilfiger T-shirt for this...
You have to sign that everything is written correctly.
The first one.
Three exclamation marks, "L I" and “Schwu”.
Who gets the “Schwu”?
Brandl!
Well, I'd like to add another few words.
First of all, good morning everybody. Good morning!
I would like to apologize for the lack of pretzels, but since I only found two in five bakeries,
I thought these buns would make a good alternative.
I would also like to use this get-together to hand over a present for our hosts.
We thought we'd show you that Munich does not only know how to do beer.
So we brought you a masterpiece of finest Munich craftsmanship.
A Lion's Vodka and a Duke's Gin.
Very delicious firewater! It's something for a special intimate occasion.
I hope you'll find a use for these.
You bet!
Stop, wait wait wait!
There's got to be background dancers!
Oh God, you idiot!
This doesn't work!
Shake it!
But then I'll drool all over myself!
Just shake it! Shake it, shake it!
It's called karma!
Now it's time to go! Crap!
Fuck!
0k, men. Departure.
Does anyone have a tissue?
Tissue! Foxes!
Let's go straight to the hospital.
Call an ambulance, this needs stitches!
Press down, press down!
More tissues, tissues, tissues!
I'm asking around!
Who's glass was that anyway? Yours!
This one is clean.
Doesn't look like it, but it is clean.
Press!
0k, great, thanks!
Now we're getting donations.
This just turned from funny-embarrassing to embarrassing-embarrassing!
Don't get on my nerves now, man! Film it!
Spillner! I've almost got him now!
Come on, stop hitting me!
You have to be able to defend yourself with words. You can't just...
Woah dude, I've got a really bad headache because of you man!
Good morning!
Boys! How was it in the Kiez?
1 wasn't in the Kiez. I didn't even see the Kiez!
Ah, you were with the Sierich Germans, right?
Correct!
Enjoying some far right ideology, hu?
No, I was showing them how it works.
Idiot!
So, was it the expected kind of people at the house?
I've been told there are some sort of Aryan women around there, with braids!
No, but they would have liked it at the Nazi “League of German Girls*.
Yes you would have!
They would have!
Hey Mosquito!
What?
Is this giving you a sense of home?
No.
Really? I thought you grew up in one of those favelas.
That's mean, you Fiji!
Get out!
Spillner, piss off!
Oh my God, it's gonna slip out!
Go away!
Dude, what is going on?
Let me sleep, what's going on here?
Pants off, asshole out!
Bend over!
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with you?
Nothing, I don't have a girlfriend at the moment.
Woah, Spillner fuck off you stupid pig!
He's supposed to suffer - this dirty fox!
Not in this tone!
Spillner, what are you doing?
He was getting out his little bushy Philippine dick earlier.
It's beautiful, it tickles!
Now get up, breakfast is ready soon.
Spillner!
Spillner behave, or you'll be in trouble.
I always have to behave, right?
Yes, you have to behave!
Always with the sanctimonious decency!
Like: Oh Spillner, we are being filmed...
Fortify!
Fuck you, dude! I hate you for this!
Fortify! Stop snorting, fortify!
That's enough...
I'll be even soberer now.
Good for you!
Blue side up, arrow forward! Exactly!
The steering wheel is here.
Does it have holes, or do you have to pump out the water?
There are slits in the sides and it just ran out there.
As you can imagine, everyday life on a submarine can get pretty boring, right?
In the cold war - yes!
You are isolated from the outside world;
it's crammed, no exercise, you're always hanging around with the same people.
Still, you need to keep people happy.
That is why they did a lot of cooking.
And for every meal, there were 0.2 liters of wine.
Not more, so it wouldn't get too much fun, and there was also caviar.
Everybody ready?
Schmitti, you pisser!
Look here, you pisshead!
Come on!
And just now they lost the cold war for real:
a selfie on a Russian submarine.
That's it, it doesn't get any lower than that.
It's over.
We were anchored off of Madagascar
and had the plague on board.
In the kettles, the water was rotting
and every day one went overboard.
Ahoy, comrades, ahoy, ahoy!
Farewell, little girl, farewell, farewell!
Yes, when the accordion sounds on board
then the sailors are so quiet, yes so quiet.
1 still have 45.
50!
50, he won.
So, who wants to go?
Well, why don't you let Lion do it?
No, you do it yourself!
Give them the camera!
Quick!
Hurry up, it's raining!
Faster!
Schieblhut, you need a longer arm.
Oh God, you're so gay.
Ugly face!
Can we please just take a regular photo?
Idiots!
You're short, so you got to the front!
We have guests today,
so we are going to talk about general topics first and internal information later on.
