I can't remember the last time I went grocery shopping on a saturday. You are two brave men! Next level: IKEA on a Verkaufsoffener Sonntag 🤣🤣

Actually one of the biggest achivements of my life was to be called "Bruder" bei my local Dönermann. I swear to god, if I ever hold a Nobelprice speech and they ask me about my biggest achivement, I will name the "Bruder" thing. So getting a free drink form you Dönermann is already a big achivement for the first week in Germany. Congratulations and Welcome to Germany.

True art. The director introduces another order of observation where the former protagonist watches the new protagonist make the same experiences as the former protagonist. Brilliant!

Need more of these German adventures of Malf and Nalf

The real apocalypse is shopping at an Aldi at 8 in the morning when they have chidlrens clothes or computers on sale. Best advice push it real good, always...

There's a whole TV series here, Two American Brothers take on Germany, one pretzel or kebab at a time.

I see Mikey prepared himself in advance before arriving in Germany by learning some basic vocabulary. Smart!

As a warm up, Americans should shop at Aldi and Lidl in the states before moving to Germany.

I grew up in the 80´s and 90´s where Stores closed at Saturday 12 o´clock midday. Today its way more relaxed to do groceries at Saturday.

I hope you two enjoy yourselves here in Germany! Also the "Tschüssi" was the sign that u have officially have been germanized.

I always found US dollars to be Monopoly money.. They all look the same and feel like they’re worth nothing

I cackled when you said grocery shopping on a saturday evening in Germany is the apocalypse 😂 pretty much the most accurate thing I have ever heard. Also before holidays of any kind

It's so much fun to see you in big brother mode. To Mikey remember your seatbelt those fines are not cheap. Saturday is the worst day for shopping in Germany!

I have a big feeling little bro will be fluent in German ever before his big bro. More fearless in using what he knows.

As an American who has been living in Bavaria for the past five years (but who lived here in high-school before), I've been loving your videos of seeing and learning about the country - and now with your brother! One of my younger brothers was here as part of his Army service, but we never managed to meet up then. Viel Spaß euch beiden, die Gebrüder Alfieri :) ps - loved the "servus" , something we use in the southeast of the country as well !

Worst time is actually 17 o'clock under the week...because that is when everyone who stops at the grocery on the way home is there. Naturally the absolute worst time is before a long weekend, especially the Eastern and the Christmas Weekend.

The Way in which you form this unique and special relationship with your Kebab/Döner-Shopowner of choice is something really heartwarming. They are almost always immigrants from the near east and have their own lingo and habits. It's as if you increase your friendship level until some day the shopowner calls you by your name, and remembers what you usually eat, so he just asks "like always?". Thats when you've made it. Have gone through that process a few times over the years in different german citys. At some point you are a kind of supreme customer, who gets free stuff and enhanced service. Me and my colleagues from work had such high status with our Dönermann, that once we arrived he even asked (quite insistingly) other guests to move to other tables, so we six could sit together and stuff, was almost a little too much service at times, but man we loved it there. Took us about 2 years of going there almost every Thursday (Donnerstag -> Dönerstag) to cultivate that relationship, almost sad that I dont work there anymore...

Hehe, Nalf, I'll up that 'absolute chaos in the grocery store' by several factors. Go shopping on the 24th of December, when that 24th is a Thursday, thus Friday AND Saturday AND Sunday the stores will be closed as well. The absolute sheer terror of late Christmas present shoppers, late grocery shoppers, and the terrors of having to survive a FULL four days without buying fresh groceries drives Germans absolutely bonkers. THAT is the ultimate chaos of German grocery shopping. Phaw, shopping on a Saturday at 5 PM... that's child's play... I do that while snoozing through on jet-lagg induced sleep deprivation. 😂😂

Geez, your brother speeks German quite well on his first day. How many years did it take you Nalf?

Absolutely hilarious. As a German who has lived in the UK for 12 years and now back, I feel a similar reverse culture shock and am trying to spread the use of “excuse me” in supermarkets ;-D

14k views in four hours? Go off then young king

Oh my goodness that looks like a Kaufland!! 🤣🤣🤣

Soo nice to see you together, I find myself having developed a weird mama-goose feeling for my favourite manchild… so nice that you have a playfriend now always…just get him to a hairdresser 💇‍♂️ 😂😂 Well done shopping💪🏻💪🏻🤣🤣

Would love to see more of his "firsts" in Germany. Keep it up, Guys and have great Time here! :)

I'm an old man - well 60, so not that old, I reckon. When I was growing up - in Canada 🇨🇦 - everything was closed on Sundays as well. It's actually a great idea! The idea of a "day of rest"... excellent. Nice to see that the Germans 🇩🇪 haven't abandoned the idea. Just looking in on your channel as a kind of reminiscing... my last time over there was in West Germany in 1988. Things have definitely changed!

saturday 9 am is worse going grocery Shopping 🤣

Es ist total verrückt mein Alltagsleben aus der Perspektive eines Amerikaners zu sehen. Ich bin jedes Mal fasziniert. Alles was für mich normal erscheint, ist ein Magic Rollercoaster Adventure für jemand Fremdes.

You have been friendly to your brother, try the aldi/lidl checkout experience next.

a usual day in a new country must be a very nice adventure!! wait until the spring is there, he wouldnt leave germany...esp not schwäbisch hall or southern part of the country! a nice breakfast on a sunny spring sunday morning is a very nice expierience

I cannot remember what it's like to have the stores closed on a Sunday. Its been years since the Danish government allowed stores to open on Sundays. It was actually a law they changed, called Lukkeloven (closinglaw - roughly translated). Cody and Speedy now has an "adopted third kid"😉🤣🤣🤣

1:30...on the topic of butter pretzels; M.A. "That one sucked' met with the mother of all grimaces from N.A. So many hopes and dreams shattered.

I love these vlogs of Mikeys first experiences here in Germany. Bitte weiter so, viele mehr ;-)

Can’t wait for Mikey’s channel when he starts complaining that you’re the behemoth villain, doing many evil deeds to him such as being a Yufka pusher and getting him badly addicted to this yummy food stuff. Thanks for another fun video with Mikey :-)

So basically this supermarket in Germany looks like every supermarket in New York City or LA at 4 am.

Need more adventures of MALF and NALF and AALF and JALF and (other) AALF and (other) JALF

These smiles of excitement are so contagious :)

German grocery store chaos XDD at least you don't have to guess the price with taxes ^^

Gotta take a shower after Saturday evening grocery shopping in Germany ;)

So nice to see you two brothers together! And also when you are with the rest of your family. Your parents seem like such lovely people. From your Canadian pretend grandma.

Mikey still has to develope his complaining skills. Here he can learn most from Grand Master Nick.

super nice to see him also experience germany for the first time together with you who already had this feelings :D

To get a free drink from your Dönermann in the first week is a massive achievement!

LOL, exactly! One of the first things my daughter noticed was that no one says excuse me. They cut you off and bang into you and just keep on going

Going to the grocery store on saturday is the apocalypse... this line almost made me falling of the chair

Mercedes Police? No one's ever gonna scape.. 🤣🤣⚡⚡

You guys should have gone shopping in south Germany near the Swiss boarder. You would enjoy shopping in Schwäbisch Hall on Saturdays 😂😂

Boss battle music shopping is next level ^^

i hope we can see these two in a Bierzelt soon....

i love those videos, they are so relaxing to watch, thx

Mikey seems to be a quick learner. Great video.

Wait until the holidays and you need to go to the store on Christmas Eve. There was a line out the door at my nearby store, and had never seen anything like it in the US :D

Mikey always reminds me of a little puppy.

I played football at Tualatin (Co2015), now living in Frankfurt. It’s cool to see some fellow Oregonians over here! Keep up the good content

Nalf and Malf... Sounds like a Sunday Morning Kid's Cartoon 🤣

I always enjoy your videos! Exciting times with your brother!! Enjoy!

Advise... Plan when to go shopping and make a list what you need... Best is e.g. Fridays around midday (if you can) when the old people and mothers are home preparing/eating lunch or waiting for their kids coming home in a place that is not frequented by school children or people spending doing their shopping in the lunch break... Saturdays - early in the morning but before women send their kids or the husbands to get what they have forgotten on their weekly shopping tour - and when the others take their time to have an easy start in their free day with a good breakfast. Germans are world champions in planning - not everybody, the others you see Saturday afternoon in the supermarkets... ;)

Nice video. The town architecture is beautiful. Much success.

Your Bro looks like you. But with a Wig. I love it. Have a good one.

Between 7 and 8 o‘clock in the morning is the perfect time on Saturday 💪🏻😂

The only thing I recall about grocery shopping is if you touch it (fruits and veges) you buy it. I loved the different products especially the baby items. My son loved the kinder tea, biscuits and food. Back then the carts weren't on a coin release, at least those near us.

The slowest checkouts in the world can be found in Switzerland or Spain; in the latter cashiers are constantly on the phone or chatting, going to weigh fruit or disappearing for other reasons. In Germany it's super fast, but shopping here is really stressful.

Fun, thanks, good to see it working out. Glad to see Mikey survived the grocery store. About as chaotic as it gets. The wallet with the coin purse is a true landmark though you have to just run into one. Lol I don’t know. All the best

I remember the Jetlag when i flew from Hamburg to Los Angeles, you got my condolences guys!

HAHA thats so cool to see, I have been living here in Thuringia for 11 years now and I can relate to your brother in the grocery store getting bumped into so many times and no one saying excuse me lol. Too good :D.

saturday evening already is hard but if monday is a holiday even worse

Nice! Just yesterday I thought, now there should be a lot of new "First Time" videos on this channel with Mikey! And Cody be like: "Oh no, now there are two of them!"

Stores are closed on Sunday? That is lovely!!! That grocery store looks like a cross between Aldi and Costco!

He should experience a German hairdresser.

Next level is shopping in Czechia the day before national holiday, only days when the shops are closed.

Dude that Grocery Store is like the most comfortable for shopping even on saturday evenings. Big Kauflands in Suburbia are paradise. Try going REWE City or EDEKA in a city like cologne or Stuttgart, where the corridors are just wide enough to let one person comfortably walk. Its like a 10m x 35m area, literally hell

It's called Kundenbindung, because of the free drink on the Yuvka, he will probably show up more often ;-) Do notice that small children get their small Würstchen at the butcher.

your little brother coming over is mullet content gold!! looking forward to the next season ! :)

In nyc we had the grocery cart deposit at some stores years ago. I don't think they have anymore.

Can you make video about your brother's first expierence with a manual gear shift ?

Due to Big Brother's loving care and preparation the newcomer is less shocked by German atrocities. But why on earth does he not pay with his card? Big grocery stores prefer that. Amusing to see how Mikey immediately fell for Yufka, no chance for Nick's beloved Butterbrezel, Nick must be disappointed. Nice that daddy Cody was also involved to keep an eye on the little one. So the "family" is together again. Looking forward for the Biergarten season, no yufka with the beer, but maybe Mikey will like a Leberkässemmel, truly Swabian.

6:12 Junge, diese Leute laufen auch wie die allerletzten durchs Bild xD

He didn't bring his own bag?????

Sitting in my german Stuhl, I actually have no clou, why I´m watching the 10th of your vidos. I know all this stuff from being a 39 year long, born german, but it still get´s facinated some how.

Samstag Abend Einkaufen ist nicht die Apokalypse. Einkaufen am 23. Dezember, wenn danach die Geschäfte für 3 bis 4 Tage geschlossen haben, DAS ist die Apokalypse. Einkaufen am 24. Dezember, wenn die Läden um 13 Uhr schließen und danach 3 bis 4 Tage geschlossen sind, ist vergleichbar mit The Walking Dead. ( Da sind nur die letzten, verschlafenen und vergesslichen Zombies unterwegs und alles, was man will, ist ausverkauft) Einkaufen an Silvester, wenn der 31. Dezember ein Sonntag ist, und ALLE ihren Schnaps kaufen gehen, ist auch furchtbar.

A whole new world of content...gotta love it.

If you go grocery shopping on a Saturday go after 8PM.. Or on any weekday for that regard. I hate grocery shopping when it's busy.

How does your brother feel? The first time away from home and then immediately in another country. It's good that his big brother Nalf is here with him :) .

A laugh when he said "nothing", since the Euro is above USD ! And, easier to count, easier to see how much you have in hand, overall a lot better than the USD "greenback"

Diese Videos sind so unterhaltsam/ These Videos are so entertaining

Good vibes 😊

Dude! I've been in Berlin for 3 years now and my German level is still at like A.05. I can confirm that the jet lag from PDX is one of the worst feelings.

Es ist super interessant zu sehen wie jemand Deutschland entdeckt. Außerdem lernt man noch was Englisch. :)

Loved it, as always. (But I still prefer our German shopping closing times to an US supermarket brightly mir at midnight with two people per square kilometer present 😉. )

So many trigger points touched on here. You thought the grocery shopping was chaos. Wait a few minutes and see the real chaos in the comments here. TSGO

Sounds like Final Fantasy music in Kaufland - Awesome. Or maybe my ear is broken...

You won’t wait 40 min at Aldi!

as a german i really enjoyed watching this

The best way to avoid jet lag, I found out by accident. I was in the reserves and was traveling via military transport aircraft from the US to Germany for weeks of training. At the airport I had a really bad allergies for some odd reason. One of our medics said "here take this pill". I asked what is it? He said Benadryl. I said I had never taken it before. He said take one and see how you feel. I took it and after 45 minutes he asked how I was doing. My nose was still running, I was sneezing and he said rake one more and handed me a small envelop with more pills. I walked to the middle of the plane and fell asleep on some troop seats. When I arrived in Germany well rested about 5pm local I was ready to go. No jet lag for me.

fun to watch

Ah yes very used to those carts at Aldi US. But the place you went to was higher need as they bagged your groceries. As for the insane grocery shopping times here that would be Trader Joe's on Saturdays and Sundays until 6pm and there are so few of them that TJs "brought" that apparently German tradition of crazy busy shopping with them. Great video glad your brother is acclimating well!

When he said "Ich müde, Ich brauch Bett", I felt that.

This was no apocalypse. You should visit a grocery store in North Rhine Westfalia. On a fresh market Saturday. We have way more population here 😁😁😁 to fill the stores

Wenn ich ca. alle 2 Wochen (wg. Corona) bei Aldi einkaufe (Kleinstadt) dann fahre ich in der letzten Zeit erst zwischen 19:30 und 20:00 Uhr dorthin, um dann einer der letzten oder sogar der letzte kurz vor 21:00 Uhr an der Kasse zu sein. Das vermindert die Anzahl von Kontakten und somit die Wahrscheinlichkeit "sich was einzufangen"...

This is highly entertaining to watch.

Cart Narcs would love the german cart system 😂
