In Episode 2, we jump right in – grateful, honest, and with a healthy dose of self-irony

about our launch, the feedback, and the minor technical glitches from Episode 1. And

then something happens that can only happen with "Abgekocht": the community

chimes in. From Google Maps insights to train sightings to the question of whether

Matthias was actually sitting in a different room.

We take it all in stride – and all with humor.

What you can expect in this episode:

We're discussing the initial reactions to our podcast and can't help but laugh when we

realize how the algorithm seems to be running its own charade with Matthias. Why

does he keep getting shown slightly risqué content? No idea – but it's definitely

something to talk about.

The big barrel giveaway

A stack of animal species, a wooden barrel from Augustiner am Platzl (thanks Oliver

Wendel!) and the attempt to guess the weight of a barrel – that's all you need for the

first “Abgekocht” challenge.

LinkedIn – Observer Mode, Currencies & First Times

We're revisiting an open question from Episode 1: How does LinkedIn really work?

What counts – followers or connections? Do companies now need all their

employees to be mini-creators? And then Uli tells us about his "first time" – at the

"Alles für den Gast" trade fair in Salzburg. A conversation about relevance,

authenticity, and practical no-gos.

The Big Breakfast Topic

We're tackling a question that's surprisingly on many people's minds: Does hotel

breakfast need a cultural shift – including in pricing?

Fan Club & Fancy Features

We've got the first fan club nominations and a call for your input:

What fancy features have you experienced in hotel rooms?

From mirrored ceilings to "Call the Butcher" – we're collecting the top 3 for the next

episode.

Finally

A short commercial break, a heartfelt farewell, and looking forward to December.

Thank you for all your feedback, every message, and every idea. Abgekocht is

growing – with you, and thanks to you.
