Home ownership, betting on the future, and organizing at work.

Nick and Florian talk Burning Man. Then Kathrin appears. They talk more Burning Man. Then Raven appears. More Burning Man follows.

The OpenAI-generated summaries are so bad, we'd rather publish this episode without any shownotes. That's unless Nick manages to create them within 48 hours of Florian writing this text.

Recorded in December 2022. Florian asked ChatGPT to provide some shownotes. But those were really boring, and so even though it was faster than what Nick provided (and more), we still won't use them. Enjoy our conversation from the past.

SW041 The outskirts of Bremen

Settling into their post-pandemic reality, Florian and Nick talk all about sport and trains. All the trains. Trains in Germany. Trains in Poland and Serbia. Night trains. Train loops! And shockingly, unlike several previous episodes, this was not actually recorded on a train.

Nick left Florian on read for several months, so now they get to talk about it.

It's July 2020. Nico and Florian revisit the Tom Hanks situation in the rich parts of Mexico City. Afterwards they look ahead to Nico's imminent move to Germany.

SW033 At Home 3 (Cast Away Edition)

Usually Nick writes something very witty here. Today not so much. Because Nick wasn't involved in the creation of this episode.

Florian finally lets Nick talk all about his new favorite subject: Burning Man.

What podcast from two guys would be complete without talking about their other favorite podcasts? Or working from home? Or Burning Man? We cover all the cliche topics in this episode on top of weirder things like company-internal podcasts, binge writing show notes and two BIG pieces of news from our host.

Nick returns to his apartment in Mexico City and absolutely fails to eat any actual Mexican food. Florian absolutely fails to find any good beer in Germany. Plans about the future of the podcast are hatched in the draft.

A return to Spanish speaking countries and low quality audio! Florian (literally!) phones in from Mallorca to while Nick (metaphorically) phones it in while folding laundry. Talk of travels missed and travels made, including Nick's grand return to Mexico on his brand new Chilean passport by way of a Denver rehab facility. Finally: SEND US YOUR DRAFT IDEAS!

Even though we recorded this on the same day as the previously released one, we're releasing it several months later. Somehow, Nick knew this so there's a handy recap of the prior episode going into this one. We meet Nick's girlfriend from the nature center and hear a bit about his new life right after reminiscing about his old life...and the old version of this podcast.

Having covered Trains, we skip past Planes and move on to Automobiles while bringing you only mildly higher audio quality. Nick actually completely forgot about the long-awaited podcasting appointment, along with his microphone and laptop, so Florian goes with it and does a first ever podcast recording over Skype. Also guest starring: Nick's Mom.

Nothing says dystopian future podcast like calling in from a Satellite phone while riding cross-country trains in the USA. As you'll hear in the first few seconds, sound quality was not the first priority on this very remote edition of SW2L, where Nick talks all about saving the world through planting trees and riding trains while Florian tells us about the start of his burgeoning music career.

Coming out of the last super depressing episode, our guests pull off a livestreamed episode filled with beer, puns, discussion of food from a Spanish speaking country and the end of the world through catastrophic climate change.

CW/TW: Depression, Anxiety, Loneliness Further removed from their source of Tacos, Mezcal and sunlight, Nick and Florian discuss their recent bouts with depression upon having returned to their respective places of origin. You will definitely not want to start listening to the podcast with this episode.
