Rich, your report brought a big smile to my face. I was stationed in Berlin when the Wall came down. I had the pleasure of living there for seven years. Five of them actually playing football for the German American team The Berlin Adler. As you know, the city is filled with an interesting and diverse mixture of people from all over the world. As a young man who grew up in rural Michigan, landing in Berlin at age 20 was an eye-opening experience in so many ways. I hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip. Prost and Go Blue!
What branch of the military were you in, PonderingOne? One of my brothers, a cousin and a friend of the family were stationed in the '70s in West Germany in the Army, so it piqued my curiosity when you mentioned being stationed in Berlin. Shawn R., Mo-Mutt Music
Hey Rich, my fellow Michigander. I would be more than happy and honoured to show you around my adopted city, Berlin. Get you off the trodden path, and show you the really great places only a local can show you. And for free and free of strings (I am not a tour guide nor do I do social media). Just something on the DL because your show has been a real pleasure to watch and has helped me through a difficult (health wise) time. So thank you Rich. And Go Blue!
As a fellow Michigan Man… former US Army Officer stationed in West Germany 1984-1987…. Loved this report from Rich. Suzy is a gem and last year I caught one of the shows where she was filling in for Brockman and I kept saying “who is this?…what moxie”… then I researched and found out she is Rich’s better half. Great vibe… and check out Suzy and Amy Trask on What the Football! Love your conversations and as a father of five I sympathize with Suzy’s workload.
Enjoyed this tremendously, Rich and gang. Oleg made my day. If you ever lose your NFL job, Rich you have a career waiting for you as a you tuber taking tours in Europe. Great job thanks
Thanks for sharing, Rich. Glad you got to visit Germany. Lots of gorgeous scenery there, based on what I remember from my trips there growing up, when Germany was still divided. Keep up the cycling and get Suzy and the family over there sometime! Shawn R., Mo-Mutt Music/Sacred & Secular
Great video, great tour. Rich, when you come back to Frankfurt, try to eat the Frankfurt "green sauce" (Frankfurter Grüne Soße). It´s a local speciality, it tastes great and what better name could there be for a dish for Jets Fans! It is based on fresh herbs, so it mainly served in Spring, but it should be able to get now also.
Love that enjoy your stay. An American Jew bikes with a Russian Immigrant on the „ Todesstreifen am Tor“ making jokes together and having a Brezn. He took him to the Holocaust memorial together. Because on Sunday is a NFL-Game Rich in town. 35 years ago we had no Football, no Biketours but Russian nukes on our soil and killing at the border. Germany is a better place now - let’s make it everywhere, too!
How do you guys in the US do tours normally? Bikes are the way to go in Europe, I know london has these busses. Is that something thats common in america?
Bus tours aren’t as common here and we don’t have the double decker buses like in London. Bike lanes are also not as consistent / reliable in our cities, and our cities are more spread out. So bike tours are less common as well. I personally haven’t done any guided tours in the US despite being from here but that’s just my two sense on the matter.
I did a bus tour in San Francisco--they had a "get on, get off" ticket where you could hop on and off at your leisure if you wanted to explore something more in-depth.
No! My high school sweetheart came over and we were married there. Had our first two kids at the Army Hospital off Clayallee. Went back in 2016 with those two (now adult) kids and visited our old house where we lived in Wannsee “on the economy”!
@@PonderingOne I married my high school sweetheart after she graduated from MSU in December 84. Stationed in Karlsruhe for 3 years. Loved our time in Germany. Fell in love with the lifestyle. Hoping to visit soon. Maybe for our 40th Anniversary!
@@mikem4672 Awesome! Congratulations on your upcoming milestone anniversary! We’re celebrating our 40th next year too! If you can go back you really should. What a great country! We went back in 2000, 2004, and 2016.
u gyus have to really stop this stereotype brezel stuff. im from germany and i didnt eat a brezel for years. stop making fun of us just because u only know wheat toast xD
Hey Rich, you have gone way too much WOKE! You spent almost an entire half complaining about Mahomes getting hit IN BOUNDS and you cried for a penalty. Come on and pull yourself back up!

🫡 USAF from 82-91. In Berlin 83-90 🇺🇸
Didnt expect to find another Adler in the comments 😅
@@Marshmallox43
No kidding! When did you play?
@@PonderingOne I played safety and later on tight end. Guess this must have been like 2006-2008?
Rich: "was there any complaining, any whining on my part?" Oleg: "There was, there was." HAHA Rich's face was hilarious!!!

hope rich takes you up on your gracious offer
Did he get at you?
Glad to see that Rich’s Rolodex is continuing to expand for he’s becoming the media’s new, Mr. International Love! ❤ ❤
He is at preschool level, mate
Completely clueless

Greetings fellow Berlin Brigade Brother!
I was in the USAF stationed at Tempelhof during that time (83-90)!
Salute 🫡 !🇺🇸
And GO BLUE!!!
Suzy hosting, Rich bringing my native capital to his viewers... Loving the show even more than usual!
As someone who enjoys cycling this made me smile and made my morning. Great show thanks Rich and the whole crew!
We need more bike infrastructure in the US
Agreed. Any type of infrastructure that isn't dependent on cars would be amazing.
Kudos to Oleg. So prepared!! Amazing.
You now have a german international correspondent.
oleg the goat haha greetings from germany
Such an amazing tour guide!
A great celebration of the march of history, well done Rich.
Always a great watch!!!!@
Oleg is an absolute weapon. We need a weekly Oleg segment
Oleg needs to be a regular part of the show. Awesome!
He looks like Oleg Gruden from the Berlin Raiders.
I do, indeed, hate that I love this show so much. Thanks guys n' gals
I had to watch the video after listening to the Podcast.This was great❤Love you guys😊Greetings from Hannover,Germany
AMAZING!!!👏🏾👏🏾
Berlin on Bike is an institution. Any German non-Berliner who has ever been on a class trip to our capital has done one of their tours.
Enjoyed this tremendously, Rich and gang. Oleg made my day. If you ever lose your NFL job, Rich you have a career waiting for you as a you tuber taking tours in Europe. Great job thanks
I l9ve this show. I listen on Sirius as I travel ..then I watch on you tube. Great show
No better place in Germany to feel history; glad you took the effort to go there and that you liked it.
I think Oslo is better, because I live in Oslo
Going in Berlin next year. I will go for the tour ! Thnks for the info Rich
I wonder if Rich hit up Atremis during his stay in Berlin
Awesome!
OLEG the legend! Send him ton's of free gear and some NFL footballs! LOL! Congrats Rich for a great Tour and not wrecking the bike! LOL!

as a local Frankfurter and fellow Jets fan a bit dissapointed you jumped up there .. 069!
Now we need more bike infrastructure in LA
Kudos to Oleg ! Great stuff yall

Great post...
Berlin is the best, and huge...not many know how big it is. You can be on a bike for days
Get Oleg tickets to the next Germany game!!!!!!
Next time I am in Berlin. I have to book a tour with Oleg 😂

Oleg is a LEGEND.

Oleg looks just like Hank from “Barry” :).
This is great. Let's get the group together for Thanksgiving.
The tour guide is quite the comedian
Oleg! Oleg! Oleg! Oleg! Oleg! Oleg!

I need a interview with him.

Here's a drinking game nobody could make it through: Drink every time Rich says ah. You'll be drunk three minutes into the video.
Oh 🦵
This is like a Rom Com
Oleg is the real MVP
Cutest couple ever
I know rich doesn’t like to curse, but Oleg is the fucking 🐐
OLAG!!!
Здравствуйте Oлeг!
7 years! Wow. Married a local national?
No! My high school sweetheart came over and we were married there. Had our first two kids at the Army Hospital off Clayallee. Went back in 2016 with those two (now adult) kids and visited our old house where we lived in Wannsee “on the economy”!
