Podcasts "The Super Noses" - Thomas Gottschalk and Mike Krüger take issue with the Kaulitz twins
Thomas Gottschalk and Mike Krueler discussed work-life balance for young people in the latest episode of their podcast "Die Supernasen". In their opinion, the work ethic has significantly decreased in recent years. "We want of course for the next generation to have fun in life and for everyone to be well. But we can't help but worry that certain things that were given to us no longer apply," expressed Gottschalk.
Nowadays, unnecessary things are valued in the workplace. For instance, work-life balance was never an issue for him and Krueler. "For me, there was never a question - I was never sick in my life when I appeared on the radio or on TV. I often told a story with a runny nose," emphasized the former "Wetten, dass..?" moderator. His profession was also his fulfillment, but young people today have "a somewhat vague idea of what's coming for them."
Mike Krueler used the Kaulitz twins as an example of a lack of work ethic. Bill and Tom Kaulitz of Tokio Hotel have recently released their docu "Kaulitz & Kaulitz," which gives an insight into their private lives. For the comedian, they complained too much in the docu. "They're complaining and are completely done that they were on tour for five months and came home completely worn out," Krueler criticized.
This is something that doesn't apply to him - he once recorded 280 travel days in a year. "We didn't even think about how many we traveled or how much time we spent on the road. We drove 120 shows in a row, then had two days off, and then drove another 80 shows," Krueler clarified.
The Kaulitz twins, however, played "probably not every day, but every week, that would be a lot," in the five months. "I don't want to say anything more about the docu because then we'll have another shitstorm," Krueler concluded his remarks.
Thomas Gottschalk mentioned Bill Kaulitz from Tokio Hotel as an example when discussing the decreased work ethic in recent years. Kaulitz & Kaulitz, the Kaulitz twins' documentary, received criticism from Gottschalk's co-host, Mike Krüger, who felt they complained too much about their busy touring schedule. Krüger contrasted this with his own work ethic, sharing that he once recorded 280 travel days in a year, a level of commitment that the Kaulitz twins did not reach during their five-month tour.
