Speaker 4 (0:00) The 17th Sommerland is presented by Mega Malle, the festival of the Mallorca stars on July 31, 2027. With the hashtag Sommerland Speaker 1 (0:10) there is 15 % on your Speaker 4 (0:12) entry. The 17th Sommerland is supported by Rheinland Acoustic and Balearic Event Experts, your partner for events and technology in Rheinland and the Balearics. Speaker 1 (0:24) I looked at the Sennseman in the eyes. Speaker 1 (0:31) And then, somehow, multiple times. And then, somewhere... There's also a moment when you say, fuck it, I don't want to anymore. Speaker 4 (0:41) That's the voice of football commentator and reality star Jörg Dahlmann, who successfully defeated death, which it wasn't for a long time. Today he speaks about his martyrdom in the interview of the week. Also the old spirit of Ballermann and What is Christina Block doing on the island, who was accused of child abduction? Speaker 4 (1:17) Carlos just pulled his mouth down a little bit, the mouth angle during this little moderation. He can probably start with the name Christina Block. Have you heard that Speaker 3 (1:28) before? Hello, good day. Speaker 4 (1:30) No one, sorry. This is a process that has been going on in Germany for a year now. Speaker 4 (1:40) Germany also electrified. Christina Block is to have an Israeli security company commissioned to tear her children from the father's abode. So a very exciting criminal case. And I was sitting in the restaurant La Ola in Santa Ponza two days ago. I stand there directly at the water, smoke a cigarette. And I think to myself, isn't Gerhard Delling sitting there? Gerhard Delling is a very famous football commentator with many awards. And isn't he sitting there in front of Christina Block, the woman who was accused in Germany of child abduction? Yes, they were actually. And then you ask yourself, what does Christina Block do in Santa Ponza? Answer, in Santa Ponza there is a... Blockhaus. Das ist eine Steak-Kette, lieber Carlos, die nach Eugen Block benannt ist, dem Vater von Christina Block. Und die Blocks haben auch ein Haus gleich um die Ecke von Jürgen Klopp. Und dahin sind sie dann auch mit den Fahrrädern wieder nach Hause geradelt. Und Delling sagte noch... pleasant warm wind while they were rushing past me. She is not in an investigation, she is on her own feet and that's why she is actually allowed to move on Mallorca. And now, I remembered that I was a huge asshole who worked at the Bild-Zeitung. What do I do when I see Christina Block and Gerd Delling there? What does a Bild reporter do then? Carlos, he tries to take pictures. Speaker 2 (3:33) But that was pretty dark Speaker 4 (3:35) and that's why I didn't manage to do it. And what does a bad news reporter do then? He calls a paparazzi. But also the... Unfortunately, it failed. There are only very, very blurred images of Christina Block, which probably also interfere with her personal rights and therefore should not be published. But you can talk about it. Carlos, I was here with you two days ago for dinner in the Bierstraße. And I was incredibly amazed how busy it was here, because the Cologne weeks are actually just coming to an end. But it doesn't make the right impression, as if it were empty here. Speaker 3 (4:20) Yes, okay, we experienced that, at least since we started in 2024. For us, from the end of August until the first weekend in October, we had a nice atmosphere in the evening, really, really busy. The people are not only in the local area, they also love to see, drink and dance in the Biederstraße. And to be honest, we also created a very nice atmosphere this year from the beginning of the playa with El Ciringuito and Bonito. They also built a, to be honest, something that they never managed to do in the last few years. But this year they did. The people have a DJ with different music, but they also needed a good atmosphere and the whole beer street is full of a nice atmosphere and nice vibes. Speaker 4 (5:09) You're sharing a DJ here, DJ Marc Colonia, who is financed by Deutsche Ecke and by you. Why don't you take Ferrer, Schiringito and Bonito with you? Then you could also go all the way with one DJ. So no second has to be paid. Speaker 3 (5:32) Yes, of course. That was the plan. Last year we had... There is a cable that connects the two DJ cabins. But the problem is that last year Mar de Colonia wasn't there. And we had other DJs and then we said, okay, let's leave it at the moment. And now I don't know what's going on in this system. There is a high-sand transponder. That's a device like a router that connects the two cabins. There is a technical problem that we couldn't do. But the plan is next year. Next year, probably, we will do something. A Speaker 4 (6:05) fully-operated beer street where even the Mallorcan restaurants that normally want to withdraw from the beer street take part. That's a pretty nice development. And what I also saw, I wasn't there, I was just on the way to the country when the Solingers organized their Rosemontag's move here. And it even went, I don't know, I don't know when it was last time, but it even happened here. So at 11.11 the carnivalists met in Dömsche. And what happened then? Speaker 3 (6:45) Yes, that is for me one of the most beautiful days of the year. Unfortunately, we are never informed. But we are in Dömsche, the meeting point at the beginning. We notice because we have reservations. since 9am, 9.30am in the morning, because we feel that something is happening. And then, always in the short term, someone tells us, hey, the carnival has started at your place. And yes, that was, as I said, that was such a nice atmosphere. We opened the Sommerland 1 and Sommerland 2 too. And Aberdürmsche was the most beautiful point, the playa, I think. And yes, such a nice atmosphere with Cologne music. And also Marc, he also has, Martin Kolonia, the DJ, also has It started at 11 o'clock, as you say, 11 o'clock. 11 Speaker 4 (7:30) o Speaker 3 (7:30) 'clock. That's the starting time. They celebrated until 14 o'clock. And from 14 o'clock they all started to the Playa and then the whole tour. I think the goal is the Vierkönig and Bamboleo. But as I said, this is one of the most beautiful days for us on the Vierkönigstraße. Of course, for us it's a turning point. And as I Speaker 4 (7:52) said, we enjoy it. Also es gibt einen Grund, dass sie niemals bekannt geben, wann sie wie aufschlagen. Sie haben nämlich Angst, wenn sie es offiziell machen würden, also meinetwegen Rosenmontag oder dritter Septembermontag. Wir treffen uns um 16 Uhr in der... Schinkenstraße beispielsweise, dann würde womöglich die Polizei auf den Plan gerufen werden. Und so geht es halt alles anarchistisch. Man verabredet sich heimlich, man kommuniziert es nicht und legt einfach los. Und ich habe auch Polizeiautos gesehen in der Schinkenstraße, als sie dann durch die Schinkenstraße gezogen sind. Aber ich glaube, die fanden das eigentlich auch so skurril wie immer. Lauter bekloppte, bunte... Dressed up Germans walking down the Schinkenstraße. That's something special for the simple police officers of the local police station. Speaker 3 (8:48) But also, I think that's so nice. It's such a nice atmosphere that we have in this carnival train. That doesn't disturb anyone. That doesn't generate any disturbance. We just saw 30 minutes ago, how, to be honest, an asocial group of boys with a loudspeaker of more than 110 decibels really disturbed. Speaker 3 (9:17) So he... Speaker 4 (9:31) I'm back to life. I had the impression of the old spirit of Ballermann in the last few weeks. And it's generally beautiful here anyway. I can't say otherwise. During the day it's a bit too hot for me, but in the evening I slowly get the feeling that I could now also put on a jacket. Speaker 4 (9:55) Or maybe a long pants again. Something Carlos hasn't taken off in the last three and a half months. The short pants he only wears in January when he goes back to the Maledives for traditional love vacation with Easy Glück. This year again? Speaker 3 (10:13) Of course. Two weeks or three weeks? Two weeks. Normally we go first in December with my parents-in-law. And then we sometimes make a few small trips. And then of course in January we go to Malediven. That is very, very healthy for our relationship. For us 14 days, only for us 24 hours. And then we fill our batteries. Speaker 4 (10:39) But you don't take your in-laws with you? Speaker 3 (10:41) No, no, no. Probably she is. My wife would like to take. I have a very good relationship with my parents. I have to say that I am very proud of them. Speaker 4 (11:00) What Speaker 3 (11:00) else Speaker 4 (11:00) are you supposed to say? No, Speaker 3 (11:02) but this trip is also something for us. For our couple. I say that it is very healthy for us. How Speaker 4 (11:10) can I imagine that? You are sitting on a small island in an apartment. You open the door, it's right by the water and you have as few neighbours as possible. And actually you are all alone. There are no night activities. Is that about right? Speaker 3 (11:24) Yes, there are many options in Maledives. But normally we always look for hotels. It's an island, it's a hotel. And you can... You don't meet any other guests all day. You have a villa that is directly in the sea. And yes, that's just nature. Speaker 4 (12:07) Now we are talking about January. Let's talk about December. Carlos and I tested the Christmas markets last year in December. And there we were on a market that was the first time there was one. That was the Christmas market Safesina in the shadow of the cathedral. That wasn't easy for the makers because they were constantly thrown pieces between their legs. So you weren't allowed to... sit-in opportunities, no standing tables, no chairs, no music was allowed to be played. At
