Hello. It is July at Search Engine, which means our team is out of the office. People are hanging out with their families, their loved ones, going on long walks, training dogs, who are behaving like Europeans. Hallelujah. We do it every year. And the same thing happens every year to me anyway, which is that I spend 11 months feverishly anticipating this break. And then after five days, I have 100 ideas for searchage episodes I want to make, and I start itching to get back to work. But anyway,

let's talk about you. In our month away, we have some treats for you. We're going to rear one

of our favorite stories when we've never re-eared before, and we're going to share some episodes

you have probably never heard

from our locked vault, our premium feed, incognito mode. So stick around for that this month,

and we will be back with brand new episodes for you in August. The particular episode that we

were sharing this week is one of my very favorite stories. It's the first of a two-part story

we reported about a very exclusive techno nightclub in Berlin. The story has actually been

optioned for a film by Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, who are both very funny comedians and also

podcasters themselves. They host the beloved show Las Culturistas. Bowen and Matt are writing a movie based on the story you're about to hear.

So enjoy.

I hope at least some of you are listening with Sandy headphones somewhere.

I'm not supposed to pick favorite questions. I'm not supposed to pick favorite questions.

I claim to love all questions equally.

But about a year ago, I got a question from two friends of mine.

This question caused a rare amount of delight over at search engine HQ.

So we asked the two of them to come to the studio.

Okay, okay.

Do you guys want to introduce yourselves?

I'm Chris. I'm Dan. I guess I'm also a burg-

Chris and Dan, two very successful, stylish young professionals.

They had an annual tradition going back years.
