TWG Gang, you asked. We answered. And boy, did we regret giving you that power.

For part two of our sold-out live show at Vienna's Superbude Hotel, we tried something new: Zetteltime, but for real! We handed our audience a bucket and some paper, and let them ask us absolutely ANYTHING. Big mistake. Brilliant entertainment.

Here's what went down:

• Our audience grilled us about Austria, Vienna, our personal lives, and, for some reason, how to cook pasta properly.
• Our How to Austria segment returned, with plenty of questionable wisdom from our international audience.
• Gabriel transformed into the ultimate grumpy Viennese man for a little role-play.
• And just in time for Halloween: our top 3 costumes guaranteed to scare the living shit out of an Austrian.

A massive thank you to everyone who joined us for this wonderfully chaotic night. You beautiful weirdos made it unforgettable!

Kisses,
Jacob & Gabriel

For the final stop of our How to Austria tour, we packed Vienna's Superbude Hotel with almost 100 of you beautiful weirdos for a sold-out night of laughs, cultural clashes, and absolute nonsense.

Here's what went down:

• We asked a room full of internationals one very controversial question: At what age should you stop kissing your kids on the lips? And oh boy, did people have opinions!
• Why Austrians protest so differently from the French and Italians – and what our audience members from those countries had to say about it.
• How one innocent Zetteltime question sparked a ridiculously heated debate between Jacob, Gabriel, and our international audience.
• What happens when people from different cultures try to agree on what's normal (spoiler: they don't).

A massive thank you to everyone who joined us on our live tour this year! You made it unforgettable.

Kisses (on the lips?),
Jacob & Gabriel

Austria is a pretty great place to live. Until you receive an official-looking letter in the post and suddenly feel like you've committed a crime you didn't know existed.

In this episode, Jake sits down with Patrick, an Austrian lawyer specialising in immigration and employment law at Law and Beyond, who's made it his mission to explain complicated legal stuff in a way that doesn't require a law degree (or three coffees and a nervous breakdown).

They get into the confusing, frustrating and sometimes downright absurd reality of navigating Austrian bureaucracy, particularly when you weren't born here.

Here's what they get into:

• Divorce and residency: If you moved to Austria for love and the relationship ends, does that mean you have to pack your bags?
• Your rights at work: Can your employer force you to use up your holidays? Can they fire you without giving a reason? And what happens when your contract contradicts the law?
• Austrian citizenship: Why is it so difficult to become Austrian, what are the current requirements, and what changes might be coming?
• The dual citizenship dilemma: Why some internationals don't want to give up their original passport, even after building their entire lives in Austria.
• The Brexit situation: Why British residents have their own special immigration category in Austria, and what Article 50 actually means.
• The citizenship traps nobody talks about: How seemingly minor administrative fines can complicate an application.
• Three essential tips for internationals: What you can do now to protect your residency status and avoid nasty surprises later.

Beyond the practical advice, Jake and Patrick also get into a bigger question: What does it mean to build a life in a country where you pay taxes, work, contribute to society, but don't necessarily get a say in how it's run?

Whether you're planning to move to Austria, have been here for ten years, or simply want to know what your boss can and can't legally get away with, this episode is packed with information worth knowing.

Because living in Austria shouldn't require a law degree. Although sometimes it bloody feels like it.

Note: Legal requirements depend on your individual circumstances and can change. This conversation is for general information, not personalised legal advice.

You can get in touch with Patrick via Law & Beyond or follow him on Instagram.
