It has been a bit of a crazy week for Bayern Munich. There was a boring win, followed by a more boring draw, but there was a whole of news in between, so in short, we have plenty to discuss. Let's take a look at that is on tap for this episode: Why is Bayern Munich struggling right now. Is it Thomas Tuchel's fault? Are the players underperforming? Is the squad flawed? Maybe...maybe not, but there is some reason to think it is bound to look better soon. Does this version of Bayern Munich have a poor mentality? Bayern Munich has been closely linked to Bayer Leverkusen ace Florian Wirtz and could be the leader in the clubhouse to land the star....but does it make sense? Is he worth it? Let's discuss.
The Bundesliga action is back for Bayern Munich this weekend as the Bavarians will take on Union Berlin at the Allianz Arena. For the Bavarians, a win is needed to keep pace with red-hot Bayer Leverkusen, the table-toppers in the league. Meanwhile, Union Berlin has had a putrid season, so far, and is in desperate need of a reboot to get back on the right track. Desperation, however, might not be enough for Die Eisernen as Bayern Munich will undoubtedly be looking to shake off the cobwebs from an unfortunate midweek draw with FC Copenhagen in the Champions League. Let's take a look at what is on tap for this episode: A rundown of where each team in the standings and look at the recent form of the clubs. A guess at what Thomas Tuchel might be thinking for his starting XI. A prediction on the match.
Bayern Munich and FC Copenhagen battled to a 0-0 draw in the Champions League in a game that no one really seemed to put much effort into. For the second consecutive match, Bayern Munich did not have too much pep in its step. The Bavarians had trouble getting going offensively against the compact and conservative approach from the Danish side. It would have been nice to Bayern Munich find a way to breakthrough FC Copenhagen. but it was not meant to be on this day. Let's just get down to it...this is what we have on tap for this podcast: A look at the starting XI and what Tuchel did differently in this match. A rundown of the scoring, err, substitutions — what did you think about the non-handball call? Some thoughts on why the game was sooooo boring and a reminder that Manuel Neuer is the best in the business. Where does Bayern Munich from here?

With recent flagship episodes pushing the hour mark more often than not, it was time to have a shorter episode to bring some variety to proceedings. This is not to say that things at Bayern Munich were uneventful in the last week or so — there was plenty to talk about with Thomas Tuchel making some odd choices in the game against FC Köln. In this episode, INNN and Samrin discuss the following: Was Thomas Tuchel sending a message with his lack of substitutions at Köln? The problem with putting results over performances. Why Thomas Müller seems like he's on his way out at Bayern Munich. How will Tuchel line up versus Copenhagen in the Champions League this week? Why Leroy Sane is in desperate need of some rest.

A Friday night tilt after an international break against a desperate opponent could have been disastrous for Bayern Munich, but like they have done so many other times this season, the Bavarians fought through some uneven play on both ends of the pitch to claim a 1-0 victory. Let's take a look at what is on tap for this episode: A gander at Thomas Tuchel's odd starting XI and what that might mean for some of the players, who were passed over in favor of Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. A public service message that you do not need to watch this mess. A rundown of the scoring (LOL) as Harry Kane just keeps producing (even though he sometimes appears to be an afterthought in the attack. Steffen Baumgart will likely get sacked soon, but he has nothing to work with. That said, he had his team prepared and they fought hard. This really just a Billy Goats team that lacks talent. Some final thoughts on Bayern Munich as the team heads into the stretch run of the Hinrunde.
What a mess of an international break that way. Germany is a disaster under Julian Nagelsmann, but at least Bayern Munich is coming back this weekend. Given all of that, there is plenty to talk about, so let's get to it. Here is what is on tap for this week's episode: Assessing why Germany is a clown show these days (Hint: The answer is pretty simple). Looking at why Julian Nagelsmann cannot help himself and is proving all of his critics right. Break out the torch, it is time to light some folks up. A preview for Bayern Munich vs. FC Köln. Transfer rumors on Bayern Munich stars Thomas Müller and Leroy Sané. What to be thankful for during this Thanksgiving season.
Yes, we are a Bayern Munich podcast, but after the latest humiliation we simply have to focus on Germany this week. Losing 3-2 to a Turkish B-team is a new low, and we're only three games into the Julian Nagelsmann era. Where was the free flowing football? The attacking concept? The tactical philosophy? It seems like the coach has fallen into the experimentation trap he experienced at Bayern Munich, where he didn't know when to stop tinkering. In this episode, INNN and Samrin discuss the following: What was Julian Nagelsmann thinking with THAT lineup? Kai Havertz at left-back, really? Everything that went wrong for Germany, from offense to defense, the midfield, and individual performances. Why do coaches keep making the same mistakes when taking over the at the DFB? The curious case of İlkay Gündoğan and the major issue with Joshua Kimmich. The problem with Germany that no one seems to talk about — a culture of mediocrity and assumptions. Where does Nagelsmann go from here? What will happen at the Euros? A token amount of Bayern Munich discussion — what is going on with Alphonso Davies? Will he go to Real Madrid? Why losing Davies would be devastating to Bayern in the long term. Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

Service courtesies in the country of Philashire.By AnonymousPerv – Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.“So how long have you been dating? Or did you already tell me that?” asked the beautiful girl sitting across from me, at the restaurant.I really liked this one. She was a brunette, short and cute, but with a nice set of cans (if I can be so crass). Not super thin, but definitely curves and hips. It was her bubbly disposition that beat it all, though.“I think I told you on our first date,” I laughed. “After the divorce, I wanted to take a year off of women. That, unfortunately, turned into two years, before I finally got the courage to ask a girl out from the office. We went on a few dates, but discovered we aren’t very compatible.”“And I’m your first internet date. Is that right, Scott?”“Well, this is our second date,” I retorted. “That counts for something, doesn’t it?”“Exactly,” she laughed, just before greeting Jonas, their waiter & taking a knee in front of Jonas, then flipping up his kilt to put his cock into her mouth. His was pretty big, perhaps even bigger than me, and Crystal worked it like any experienced woman.“Your menus, sir?” he offered us. Or did you already know what you want?“I believe she said she wants the duck with rice. I’ll have the pork loin.”Already, the waiter’s cock was stiff as stone, while my date expressed her gratitude to him. She apparently worked him up quickly. I’d seen her do it twice before on our last date. ‘Too bad that couldn’t be me; at least, not yet, anyway,’ I thought.“Did you want anything else, Crystal?” I asked.She moaned, shaking her head as she continued stuffing Jonas's rod deep inside.The waiter turned his head to me, “Sir, I just arrived to work. I think I’d like to take a moment to finish.”“Of course,” I said.It was totally understandable. On the cab ride over, I had Heidi, the cab driver suck me to completion. She was pretty hot for an older woman, and her skills were about an 11 on a scale of ten. I don’t normally think of “sex” when getting this kind of blowjob, but it had been some time since I got off, and that woman was definitely experienced. It seemed my date, Crystal, might give her a run for the money, though.Old World Baltic CustomsI know some cultures take issue with our little paradise in Eastern Europe. Philashire is a small island country in the Baltic Sea. Under a quarter million of us; Hell, most people don’t even know we’re on the map, but we have all the same amenities as any other advanced cultures. We even dress and primp in much the same ways. We’re not savages or hedonists. We were spared from the Soviet expansion that consumed Estonia, in the last century. But here we sit, between Sweden, Finland, & Estonia. Living in a culture that hasn't been co-opted by the decadent West or repressive Slavic societies.We do, however, have a few customs that may shock some people. Since the dawn of our history - our culture has original customs of greeting those whom we intend to serve, on an individual basis. We don't kiss them on both cheeks, like the French, or bow like the Japanese. Our society holds to the clear old fashion identities of men & women, since the Garden of Eden. Women take great pride & identity in their powers to please men and leave them contented. To this end, the culture of Philashire has established Phillatio (the act of oral ministrations) And we don’t even call it sex act in this regard, as to be treated as an act of trust, honor, and dedication between individuals conducting any services or business. It’s often used when employing someone’s services (or they, yours), like getting your tires changed, or buying a coffee from the local barista. By this attention to man's needs, a woman curries favor and trust for all commencing interactions to follow.Sucking them is considered an act of good-will. It’s a display of trust, of trusting them to handle your needs, to the point you are willing to swallow their seed to prove it. It’s like saying “Thank you,” or “Hello,” or a handshake in most other cultures. Sure, it isn’t necessary at every exchange, but it is very often used when services are exchanged between a man and woman. You really have to be from Philashire to understand. It is a distinctly feminine commitment to assure a man that she is going to make the rest of the dealings pleasureable.Because of this custom, women have long dominated the services industries, for obvious reasons. This has left men in our society to advance the manufacturing and agricultural sectors. It has also been credited for a society with almost no rape or other sex crimes.Our customary dress for men is usually a woolen knit sweater and woven kilt (a Scottish innovation we adopted).Women traditionally wear a Bodicio. A dress that is similar to the Bavarian Dirndl, but slightly different from the original Bavarian inspiration. Our version of the dress has a shorter skirt (just above the knees) The bodice features the dirndl-style breast wrap which provides all the support and containment of a French brazziere, but is adjustable with a simple drawstring tie in the front. Once the bow is untied, the breasts drop & are free to roam openly, but when tightly cinched, it will far surpass any ‘pushup bra' for uplift and cleavage enhancement.It is always the male receiving. That’s the custom exchange, no matter who is the ‘patron' and who is the ‘proprietor', as it were. Anything else is considered taboo or perverse.Crystal worked at a sporting goods store. If I had ever visited, I suppose I may have had the pleasure of having my cock sucked by her. However, we met online, starting the relationship on a formal note. I didn’t even get a kiss at the end of our first date.She later texted and let me know I should have tried, and that gave me the courage to ask her out a second time. And here we are. I spoke, “You’re a lot more interesting than the other girl I dated. She was kind of a bore.” The last gal I dated was about as interesting as paper, with a figure not much different.Crystal looked at me and smiled, as the waiter unloaded his first wave of spunk into her mouth. Without skipping a beat, Crystal bore down into it, gulping down the incoming fluid. Twenty seconds or so later, she pulled back off, smiling, nodding at the young man.“Thank you, ma'am. I assure you I’ll do my part to make this evening special, for you and the gentleman.” He quickly zipped up, and took the menus away.Crystal giggled, taking a cloth napkin to her chin. “That’s the third time today, Scott.”“Oh, yeah? That ain’t too many, is it?” I asked. I have this fear that she'll grow tired of her skills before I can experience her charms.“I mean, third time I have had to finish someone off. I’ve had five encounters today, total. That’s about right, considering the time, but most guys don’t finish. Do you?”I had to think about it. The girl at the post office, the girl at the Courthouse, and then the cab driver. I had only used the driver to ejaculate, the others I tapped to stop after their 'passing blow’ as it’s known. In fact, most days, I rarely finish. It would take too much time.“I have to admit. You look pretty amazing at it. I can see why guys would be tempted to finish.” I told her with obvious admiration for her feminine charms.“It’s not like I’m their girlfriend, though. Isn’t finishing it usually only expected when it's in a sexual relationship?” I mean, A guy should only feel entitled to being swallowed by a gal whose committed to him?“You have me hoping,” I smiled.“Oh, that’s sweet of you to say. Maybe one day, Scott. I need to get to know you better.”“I was thinking I could always swing by your store.”Now Crystal looked offended, scolding; “You know it is very wrong to do that with people you date. Any transaction we partake in, would not be considered authentic.”She was right. It was a social taboo in our country. People who shared formal, familial, or close relationships don’t engage in this act, as (at that point in the relationship) you were either already doing it, or had established a platonic relationship… or in our case, if you’re dating. Doing the trust-blowjob for a transaction negates the trust factor, if you’re already in an established relationship. I know, if you aren’t familiar with our culture, you may find all this very confusing. Think of it this way. In some cultures, some people get very upset if the salad fork is in the wrong place. Other cultures condemn a man for wearing a hat indoors. You decide which rules are sillier.I tried to lighten the mood, to show her I was joking. “I mean, come on, Crystal. I have to admit you look like you're amazing at it. But I would never stoop that low,” I said, laughing it off.“Oh, you are a bit naughty, aren’t you? How about we get to that first kiss, and then take it from there; at a reasonable speed. If I suck you off, I want it to be very, very special.”We spent the rest of the dinner engaged in fun and light conversation, before I finally offered to take her home. “The valet will call a cab for us,” I said.Before leaving, I called the waiter over and paid the bill. Crystal pulled out his cock, licking it a few times. He smiled, appreciatively. When we stepped outside a moment later, Phoebe the valet approached. “Car or service?” she inquired, dropping to her knees.“We need a taxi service, please,” I replied, as she reached under my kilt & pulled my limp penis out, right in front of Crystal. The valet took it in, working her tongue under the shaft, soaking it fast. My cock was half hard, when she pulled off, and touched a button on her phone. “There will be one here in just a moment, sir. Can I continue until he arrives?”“Of course,” I said.Crystal came up beside me. “Thanks for dinner, Scott. I really enjoy your company.”“Thanks for being so easy to talk to, it’s uh, been a while for me.”“Not since your wife, huh?”“Even then, the last year or so with her wasn’t comfortable. I’m comfortable with you.” I said.I found it easy to be candid with Crystal, as the valet got my cock to full stiffness. If the cab was going to take long, I might bust a nut in her mouth. I suppose it didn’t matter.“I’m glad, Scott. I like you, too.” Finally, Crystal looked down at the situation. The valet had things well in hand. “And believe me, I’d like to do that, too.”“Tell ya what, will you consider it on our third date?” I was shocked I was asking. Was I nuts being so bold?Crystal laughed. “I already decided I’d kiss you goodnight, so sure, I’ll keep my options open on date number three.”Good, there was going to be a third date. That made me very happy. But then I was surprised, as Crystal moved in and turned my head, & gave me a deep kiss, pulling me into her. It was somewhat awkward with the valet still sucking on my hose, but for whatever reason, it aroused me more. Just as Crystal let me go, with her lips departing mine, I ejaculated into Valet Phoebe's mouth. It was with more force than the waiter had done on Crystal, and the poor woman struggled to get it all down.“Thank you, sir!” she insisted, as she licked remnants off my shaft. “Thank you. Very nice of you to cum in my mouth.”I nodded, giving Crystal's ear a nibble, whispering, “But I’ll bet you’re better.”The ride home went unmolested, save for when Tom, the driver opened the back door of the Taxi for us. Crystal Phillatioed driver Tom for a few seconds, just as she got out. We said our goodbyes and agreed to meet the following week, but I just couldn’t get her out of my mind.By Tuesday, I had hatched a plan, that I hoped Crystal would find very cute. I called Hank and Pete, my old college buddies, and told them to meet me at Crystal’s place of work the following morning. We walked in together, finding her near the tennis equipment, which was perfect for our needs. I walked up to her.“Hey, Crystal.”“Scott! What are you doing here?”“Well, it just so happens that I’m taking up tennis, and”“You should have gone somewhere else. You know it’s not cool to entrust me to service you this way, when we’re dating. I told you that!”“Of course, of course, but the thing is, me and my two friends are all doing it together. So I thought, why not bring them to you, to let you get the sales. I can always go somewhere else, but Hank said he’d buy me whatever I need, based on any recommendations.”“Well, uh, I suppose he could be asking for his friend, that’s true,” replied Crystal. “So like racquets, balls, gloves and whatnot?”“The works,” I said, “But don’t talk to me. I just came to introduce you to the guys.” Crystal dropped to her knees and flipped Hank's kilt, pulling his penis out. “I trust you will service them well.”Crystal turned to me, before taking Hank’s penis in, “You can stick around, if you just want to visit. We are, dating, after all. I just can’t sell you anything. Inappropriate.” Crystal then began working her magic on Hank’s stiffening rod. He nodded his head to her.“Thanks for helping us today. As for a racquet, I want something light, but also something I can really grip hard. I hold them a bit funny.”Crystal nodded, taking note as she reached for Peter’s cock, too, who was standing nearby. Soon, she was stroking it, while making Hank climb higher in her mouth. Before he got all the way, she pulled off, turning to Pete, giving him a few licks. Finally, she stood up again, pulling her bodice tie, exposing her breasts, and holy shit, were they amazing.“I will be happy to help you folks,” smiled Crystal.OK, I need to step back a bit. Showing breasts is like the ultimate compliment to a guy. It’s like saying “You could have all of me, if we were a thing, ya know.” Like the woman that takes an extra pause when touching you, in other cultures. It’s just a way people flirt around here. Hank blushed from the compliment. I was even a bit envious, but then I realized, Crystal was probably trying to egg me on. She knew I’d come in hopes that she might at least give me as much attention as she had Hank or Pete, but instead she turned the tables. Clever girl.She called me out on it on our third date, while we at the movies. Just before the show started, I’d gotten popcorn. The girl at the ticket stand took longer with me than most, while she stroked and licked on my shaft, and Crystal kind of gave me that, “Oh, I bet you wish that was me,” look.“Thanks for bringing your friends to me, by the way,” she said, as we settled in , popcorn in hand. “I got a terrific commission off of that. But you didn’t have to come with them. I know you were hoping I’d break the rules.”“A man can dream,” I said.“Let’s just say, you better hope this movie is good.”“It’s a rom-com,” I insisted. “If it sucks, you should at least give me a pity blowjob for trying. Most guys would do action movies.”Crystal laughed, patting me. “Okay, maybe I’ll consider it.”I really was feeling lucky. Getting Phillatio from someone you do business with, or the kid's preschool teacher, is different than with your spouse or girlfriend. And you can do other things, too. To know Crystal was giving me her all, for the sake of genuine, unadulterated sex, was very hot to me. Then, she asked. “Bet you never thought I would flash my tits, did you?”“I admit, that caught me off guard.”Giggling, she said, “I just wanted to tease you.”“It worked,” I whispered.There were a few couples seated below us, but we were at the far back, nearest the rear wall.“I have something to tell you,” she whispered."Okay,” I said.“I uh, I do that, more often than most girls.” She blushed.“No? Really?” I was sincere. It was surprising to hear. As I said before, the act is considered very rare.“Not because I mean much by it. Like, I wouldn’t invite a relationship with someone, I just really like, well, showing my tits.”“Really?” I was astonished. “You do have a great pair,” I nodded.Crystal cackled. “Well, thank you. I just wanted you to know I do that more for me, than them. I really want you to know.”“Fair enough. I’ll keep it in consideration.”She continued, “In fact, I’ve always wanted to go somewhere completely naked. Expose myself to everyone.”“Crystal!” I whisper-shouted.“Hey, you said it. You’re easy to talk to. Are you okay with this?”“Well, yes. I just have to feign that this shocks me, right?” In truth, some of it did shock me, but I didn’t find it offensive in the least.Crystal smiled. “Good. I just.. I just think you are the kind of guy that could be fun. Considering what you pulled yesterday, being an example. I wanted to tell you more about me.”“Why don’t you strip naked while you tell me,” I said.Crystal gasped, looking up and around. “Are you serious? The movie hasn’t even started.”“So?”“More people could come in.”“And?” I said with a straight face.She paused for only a moment, before exploding in quiet joy. In seconds, Crystal - my date - was sitting back, stark naked in the movie theater next to me. I don’t think I have ever witnessed a happier face. I leaned into her. “Can I ask you something?”“Sure,” she said.“Does swallowing strangers’ cum ever get you horny? Like, do you ever think, ‘I wish i were sucking off so-and-so' and fantasize doing that, while sucking someone else off?”Crystal almost seemed to blush. “You mean, when I sucked off the waiter, did I wish I was sucking you off instead?”“Yes.”“Of course. I’ve thought about it a lot. Especially after I watched that valet hottie Phillatio you. I can do better than that. And I want to.”I noticed Crystal reaching down with her left hand, rubbing her crotch while holding my left hand with her right hand. She winked to me.I smiled as I said; “And I intend to let you prove it.”By AnonymousPerv for Literotica

Maybe one day, Scott. I need to get to know you better.”“I was thinking I could always swing by your store.”Now Crystal looked offended, scolding; “You know it is very wrong to do that with people you date. Any transaction we partake in, would not be considered authentic.”She was right. It was a social taboo in our country. People who shared formal, familial, or close relationships don’t engage in this act, as (at that point in the relationship) you were either already doing it, or had established a platonic relationship… or in our case, if you’re dating. Doing the trust-blowjob for a transaction negates the trust factor, if you’re already in an established relationship. I know, if you aren’t familiar with our culture, you may find all this very confusing. Think of it this way. In some cultures, some people get very upset if the salad fork is in the wrong place. Other cultures condemn a man for wearing a hat indoors. You decide which rules are sillier.I tried to lighten the mood, to show her I was joking. “I mean, come on, Crystal. I have to admit you look like you're amazing at it. But I would never stoop that low,” I said, laughing it off.“Oh, you are a bit naughty, aren’t you? How about we get to that first kiss, and then take it from there; at a reasonable speed. If I suck you off, I want it to be very, very special.”We spent the rest of the dinner engaged in fun and light conversation, before I finally offered to take her home. “The valet will call a cab for us,” I said.Before leaving, I called the waiter over and paid the bill. Crystal pulled out his cock, licking it a few times. He smiled, appreciatively. When we stepped outside a moment later, Phoebe the valet approached. “Car or service?” she inquired, dropping to her knees.“We need a taxi service, please,” I replied, as she reached under my kilt & pulled my limp penis out, right in front of Crystal. The valet took it in, working her tongue under the shaft, soaking it fast. My cock was half hard, when she pulled off, and touched a button on her phone. “There will be one here in just a moment, sir. Can I continue until he arrives?”“Of course,” I said.Crystal came up beside me. “Thanks for dinner, Scott. I really enjoy your company.”“Thanks for being so easy to talk to, it’s uh, been a while for me.”“Not since your wife, huh?”“Even then, the last year or so with her wasn’t comfortable. I’m comfortable with you.” I said.I found it easy to be candid with Crystal, as the valet got my cock to full stiffness. If the cab was going to take long, I might bust a nut in her mouth. I suppose it didn’t matter.“I’m glad, Scott. I like you, too.” Finally, Crystal looked down at the situation. The valet had things well in hand. “And believe me, I’d like to do that, too.”“Tell ya what, will you consider it on our third date?” I was shocked I was asking. Was I nuts being so bold?Crystal laughed. “I already decided I’d kiss you goodnight, so sure, I’ll keep my options open on date number three.”Good, there was going to be a third date. That made me very happy. But then I was surprised, as Crystal moved in and turned my head, & gave me a deep kiss, pulling me into her. It was somewhat awkward with the valet still sucking on my hose, but for whatever reason, it aroused me more. Just as Crystal let me go, with her lips departing mine, I ejaculated into Valet Phoebe's mouth. It was with more force than the waiter had done on Crystal, and the poor woman struggled to get it all down.“Thank you, sir!” she insisted, as she licked remnants off my shaft. “Thank you. Very nice of you to cum in my mouth.”I nodded, giving Crystal's ear a nibble, whispering, “But I’ll bet you’re better.”The ride home went unmolested, save for when Tom, the driver opened the back door of the Taxi for us. Crystal Phillatioed driver Tom for a few seconds, just as she got out. We said our goodbyes and agreed to meet the following week, but I just couldn’t get her out of my mind.By Tuesday, I had hatched a plan, that I hoped Crystal would find very cute. I called Hank and Pete, my old college buddies, and told them to meet me at Crystal’s place of work the following morning. We walked in together, finding her near the tennis equipment, which was perfect for our needs. I walked up to her.“Hey, Crystal.”“Scott! What are you doing here?”“Well, it just so happens that I’m taking up tennis, and”“You should have gone somewhere else. You know it’s not cool to entrust me to service you this way, when we’re dating. I told you that!”“Of course, of course, but the thing is, me and my two friends are all doing it together. So I thought, why not bring them to you, to let you get the sales. I can always go somewhere else, but Hank said he’d buy me whatever I need, based on any recommendations.”“Well, uh, I suppose he could be asking for his friend, that’s true,” replied Crystal. “So like racquets, balls, gloves and whatnot?”“The works,” I said, “But don’t talk to me. I just came to introduce you to the guys.” Crystal dropped to her knees and flipped Hank's kilt, pulling his penis out. “I trust you will service them well.”Crystal turned to me, before taking Hank’s penis in, “You can stick around, if you just want to visit. We are, dating, after all. I just can’t sell you anything. Inappropriate.” Crystal then began working her magic on Hank’s stiffening rod. He nodded his head to her.“Thanks for helping us today. As for a racquet, I want something light, but also something I can really grip hard. I hold them a bit funny.”Crystal nodded, taking note as she reached for Peter’s cock, too, who was standing nearby. Soon, she was stroking it, while making Hank climb higher in her mouth. Before he got all the way, she pulled off, turning to Pete, giving him a few licks. Finally, she stood up again, pulling her bodice tie, exposing her breasts, and holy shit, were they amazing.“I will be happy to help you folks,” smiled Crystal.OK, I need to step back a bit. Showing breasts is like the ultimate compliment to a guy. It’s like saying “You could have all of me, if we were a thing, ya know.” Like the woman that takes an extra pause when touching you, in other cultures. It’s just a way people flirt around here. Hank blushed from the compliment. I was even a bit envious, but then I realized, Crystal was probably trying to egg me on. She knew I’d come in hopes that she might at least give me as much attention as she had Hank or Pete, but instead she turned the tables. Clever girl.She called me out on it on our third date, while we at the movies. Just before the show started, I’d gotten popcorn. The girl at the ticket stand took longer with me than most, while she stroked and licked on my shaft, and Crystal kind of gave me that, “Oh, I bet you wish that was me,” look.“Thanks for bringing your friends to me, by the way,” she said, as we settled in , popcorn in hand. “I got a terrific commission off of that. But you didn’t have to come with them. I know you were hoping I’d break the rules.”“A man can dream,” I said.“Let’s just say, you better hope this movie is good.”“It’s a rom-com,” I insisted. “If it sucks, you should at least give me a pity blowjob for trying. Most guys would do action movies.”Crystal laughed, patting me. “Okay, maybe I’ll consider it.”I really was feeling lucky. Getting Phillatio from someone you do business with, or the kid's preschool teacher, is different than with your spouse or girlfriend. And you can do other things, too. To know Crystal was giving me her all, for the sake of genuine, unadulterated sex, was very hot to me. Then, she asked. “Bet you never thought I would flash my tits, did you?”“I admit, that caught me off guard.”Giggling, she said, “I just wanted to tease you.”“It worked,” I whispered.There were a few couples seated below us, but we were at the far back, nearest the rear wall.“I have something to tell you,” she whispered."Okay,” I said.“I uh, I do that, more often than most girls.” She blushed.“No? Really?” I was sincere. It was surprising to hear. As I said before, the act is considered very rare.“Not because I mean much by it. Like, I wouldn’t invite a relationship with someone, I just really like, well, showing my tits.”“Really?” I was astonished. “You do have a great pair,” I nodded.Crystal cackled. “Well, thank you. I just wanted you to know I do that more for me, than them. I really want you to know.”“Fair enough. I’ll keep it in consideration.”She continued, “In fact, I’ve always wanted to go somewhere completely naked. Expose myself to everyone.”“Crystal!” I whisper-shouted.“Hey, you said it. You’re easy to talk to. Are you okay with this?”“Well, yes. I just have to feign that this shocks me, right?” In truth, some of it did shock me, but I didn’t find it offensive in the least.Crystal smiled. “Good. I just.. I just think you are the kind of guy that could be fun. Considering what you pulled yesterday, being an example. I wanted to tell you more about me.”“Why don’t you strip naked while you tell me,” I said.Crystal gasped, looking up and around. “Are you serious? The movie hasn’t even started.”“So?”“More people could come in.”“And?” I said with a straight face.She paused for only a moment, before exploding in quiet joy. In seconds, Crystal - my date - was sitting back, stark naked in the movie theater next to me. I don’t think I have ever witnessed a happier face. I leaned into her. “Can I ask you something?”“Sure,” she said.“Does swallowing strangers’ cum ever get you horny? Like, do you ever think, ‘I wish i were sucking off so-and-so' and fantasize doing that, while sucking someone else off?”Crystal almost seemed to blush. “You mean, when I sucked off the waiter, did I wish I was sucking you off instead?”“Yes.”“Of course. I’ve thought about it a lot. Especially after I watched that valet hottie Phillatio you. I can do better than that. And I want to.”I noticed Crystal reaching down with her left hand, rubbing her crotch while holding my left hand with her right hand. She winked to me.I smiled as I said; “And I intend to let you prove it.”By AnonymousPerv for Literotica
Ahead of the EURO 2024 competition, yet another international break is upon us. Bayern Munich players are spread out globally to represent their respective national teams, but that does not mean that there is not a lot to talk about with both the Rekordmeister and the boys representing Germany: Registering a formal take on the hotly-contested Harry Kane vs. Robert Lewandowski debate. The curious story leaked by Bild that indicates Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann will not be using Joshua Kimmich as a right-back. What to expect from Germany's upcoming games and what are some realistic expectations. Looking at Bayern Munich's upcoming slate of games. The latest news on Alphonso Davies and his potential transfer — as Real Madrid, Liverpool FC, Chelsea FC, Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain all circle.
Keith Cantú's Like a Tree Universally Spread: Sri Sabhapati Swami And Śivarājayoga (Oxford UP, 2023) examines the life of a nineteenth- to early twentieth-century Tamil yogin named Sri Sabhapati Swami (Śrī Sabhāpati Svāmī or Capāpati Cuvāmikaḷ, ca. 1828-1923/4) and his unique English, Tamil, Hindi, and Bengali literature on a Sanskrit-based system of yogic meditation known as the "Rājayoga for Śiva" (Tamil: civarājayōkam, Sanskrit: śivarājayoga), the full experience of which is compared to being like a "tree universally spread." Its practice was based on a unique synthesis of Tamil Vīraśaiva and Siddhar cosmologies in the colonial period, and the yogic literature in which it is found was designed to have universal appeal across boundaries of caste, gender, and sectarian affiliation. His works, all of which are here analyzed together for the first time, are an important record in the history of yoga, print culture, and art history due to his vividly-illustrated and numbered diagrams on the yogic body with its subtle physiology. This book opens with a biographical account of Sabhapati, his editor Shrish Chandra Basu, and his students as gleaned from textual sources and the author's ethnographic field work. Sabhapati's literature in various languages is then analyzed, followed by a comprehensive exposition of his Śaiva cosmology and religious theories. Sabhapati's system of Śivarājayoga and its subtle physiology is then treated in detail, followed by an analysis of Sabhapati's aesthetic integration of aural sound and visual diagrams and an evaluation of the role of "science" in the swami's literature. Sabhapati also appealed to global authors and occultists outside of South Asia, so special attention is additionally given to his encounter with the founders of the Theosophical Society and the integration of his techniques into the thelemic "Magick" of Aleister Crowley, the German translation of Bavarian theosophical novelist Franz Hartmann, and the American publication of New Thought entrepreneur William Estep. To these are appended a never-before-translated Tamil hagiography of Sabhapati's life, a lexicon in table-form that compiles some archaic variants and Roman transliterations of technical terms used in his work, and a critically-edited passage on an innovative technique of Śivarājayoga that included visualizing the yogic central channel as a lithic "pole."

As Bayern Munich enter another international break, one player has shone brighter than the rest. Harry Kane is a phenomenon — he has 17 goals in 11 Bundesliga matchdays, surpassing the likes of Robert Lewandowski and Gerd Müller. This has people talking, but that's not the only major thing that has taken place in the last week or so. FCB youth player Aleksandar Pavlović made his starting XI debut, and Thomas Tuchel has picked a fight with the German media. In this episode, INNN and Schnitzel discuss the following: Is Harry Kane already a better striker than Robert Lewandowski? What would it take for Kane to surpass Lewandowski's legacy at Bayern Munich? Is a Ballon d'Or on the cards for Harry Kane? Switching gears — INNN argues that Thomas Tuchel has managed to do a few things better than Julian Nagelsmann did. How would Nagelsmann have fared with Harry Kane? What could Nagelsmann have planned for Germany in this international break? Is it time for Joshua Kimmich to move back to right-back? Does Germany need a new striker?

Bayern Munich has had a week, eh? After some brief optimism seeped into the general public's feeling about the squad, the Bavarians went out and got “out-hearted” (not a word, but we're going with it!) by 3. Liga side FC Saarbrücken in the DFB-Pokal in what was a horrendous result for Die Rekordmeister. Why wait any longer, let's dig into what is on tap for this week's episode: A preview of Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker. Breaking down Bayern Munich's devastating upset loss to FC Saarbrücken in the DFB-Pokal. What went wrong? How did this happen? Why does this keep happening? Is this team tacking heart and accountability? Let's discuss. Is Bayern Munich planning to pursue Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz this summer regardless of a potential Jamal Musiala transfer?
This is shocking. Bayern Munich have just lost to 3.Liga side 1. FC Saarbrücken, getting knocked out of the DFB Pokal in the process. Once brought in to save the treble, Thomas Tuchel has lost out on the treble for the second time in six months. Here are our talking points from the game: HOW did that just happen?

In this episode, Schnitzel and Rayyan discuss: Bayern's midfield problems in the absence of Joshua Kimmich and potentially Leon Goretzka. How the attack has found its feet, particularly the upward trajectory of Harry Kane and how he has begun changing games, as well as Leroy Sané's continued form as amongst the top players in the world. How Thomas Tuchel's ‘game of two halves' approach to matches might backfire in more important games. Is Tuchel a fraud or the real deal? The upcoming DfB Pokal game against FC Saarbruecken, and why Bayern should not underestimate their upcoming opposition. A short look at Bayern's title rivals — namely Bayer Leverkusen. Why Borussia Dortmund might bottle it again.
This may be the craziest Bundesliga game in years. Bayern Munich went down to ten men early in the first half thanks to a Joshua Kimmich red card, but instead of capitalizing on that opportunity, Darmstadt surrender the advantage by getting two red cards themselves. Here are our talking points from the game: Why doesn't Tuchel rotate the lineup more? Harry Kane is in the same situation as Erling Haaland at Man City last year. Why Thomas Müller is the man that Bayern Munich needs. Thomas Tuchel needs to improve performances — this is still far from good enough. The inefficiency of Tuchelball right now. Is Joshua Kimmich a liability? What happens in midfield versus Dortmund? Leroy Sané deserves to be considered the best player in the world right now — but is he being overplayed? Manuel Neuer makes a triumphant return to the starting XI. Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

Werner Herzog is one of the most idiosyncratic, original and prolific filmmakers of modern times, having made nearly 80 films over six decades. His features include Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre Wrath of God and Rescue Dawn, and his documentaries include the multi award-winning Grizzly Man, Cave Of Forgotten Dreams and Into the Abyss. Werner Herzog productions are the stuff of cinema legend, with stories of audacious shoots in inaccessible locations. He's also written several books, including a newly published memoir called Every Man For Himself And God Against All. Speaking to John Wilson from Los Angeles where he lives, Werner Herzog recalls his impoverished childhood in a remote Bavarian valley at the end of the Second World War. He says that, as a teenager, his discovery of a book about the Lascaux cave paintings was ‘like a bolt of lightning' to his creative imagination, and led to him making a documentary film about prehistoric cave art many years later. He describes how his films often start with a vivid or unusual image, and how he seeks to capture a sense of awe at the power of the natural world. Werner Herzog discusses the extremely arduous and dangerous conditions in which he made some of his best known films, including Fitzcarraldo and four other films starring the temperamentally volatile lead actor Klaus Kinski. Known for his deadpan, Bavarian-accented narration of his own documentary films, Herzog also reflects on how his distinctive voice has led to him being cast in menacing roles in Hollywood films, including Jack Reacher alongside Tom Cruise, and even a cameo in The Simpsons.

A secret nefarious organization bent on world domination, or cute fuzzy animals? Let's find out! All of our wonderful links can be found here: https://linktr.ee/allts The Illuminati is a term often associated with various conspiracy theories and secret societies that have purportedly existed throughout history. It's essential to distinguish between the historical Illuminati and the conspiracy theories surrounding them, as they are two very different concepts. Historical Illuminati: The historical Illuminati, known as the Bavarian Illuminati, was a real secret society founded on May 1, 1776, in Ingolstadt, Bavaria (now in modern-day Germany). The society was established by Adam Weishaupt, a professor of canon law, and was originally called the "Order of the Illuminati." Its primary goals were to promote Enlightenment ideals, such as reason, secularism, and the separation of church and state, as well as to oppose religious influence on government and society. The Bavarian Illuminati operated clandestinely, using secret rituals and codes of conduct, and it aimed to infiltrate and influence existing power structures, including the monarchy and the Catholic Church, to advance its agenda. The order was suppressed by the Bavarian government in the late 1780s, and it disbanded shortly thereafter. It did not have the far-reaching global influence that conspiracy theories often attribute to it. Conspiracy Theories: In popular culture and various conspiracy theories, the term "Illuminati" has taken on a different meaning. It is often used to refer to a secretive, powerful, and shadowy group that allegedly controls world events and governments from behind the scenes. These conspiracy theories often claim that the Illuminati is involved in global conspiracies to manipulate society, control the media, and establish a "New World Order" with a one-world government. These conspiracy theories lack credible evidence and are widely considered to be baseless and unfounded. They have been perpetuated in various forms of media, including books, films, and online forums. Many notable individuals and organizations have been falsely accused of being part of the Illuminati, contributing to the persistence of these conspiracy theories. In summary, the historical Illuminati was a real secret society with specific historical goals related to Enlightenment ideals. The conspiracy theories surrounding the Illuminati are largely fictional and should be approached with skepticism and critical thinking.
Bayern Munich made a triumphant return from the international break with a 3-1 victory over Mainz 05. It was not always pretty for the Bavarians, but there were some amazing sequences that gave fans a taste of how good this could all look once everyone is back in sync (and off of the injured list). Even with a banged up crew, Thomas Tuchel was able to push the right buttons enough to coax a victory out of his boys. Let's take a look at what is on tap for this episode of the Postgame Show: A gander at Tuchel's starting XI selections. A rundown of the scoring. Some thoughts on why the team's defense looked so out of sorts at times. The lack of service to Harry Kane continues. Eyeing the positives of what could have been a disaster is Mainz could finish.

This episode of the Weekend Warm-up hits on much of that, so let's get right to it and take a look at what is on tap: A preview of Bayern Munich vs. Mainz 05 — and why this could be a very important match under less-than-ideal conditions for the Bavarians (even if Manuel Neuer should be back).

Some final thoughts on the German national team's recent set of games and wondering what Julian Nagelsmann's plan will be moving forward.
Germany and Mexico squared off in an international friendly — in Philadelphia, PA — at the same time as a Major League Baseball playoff game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Arizona Diamondbacks and also with the Philadelphia Flyers playing the Vancouver Canucks in the NHL home opener. Needless to say, it was chaos in South Philly at the stadium complex as Germany and Mexico fought to a 2-2 draw, which felt...right. Let's take a look at what is on tap for this episode: Checking out Julian Nagelsmann's starting XI. A rundown of the scoring. The game was pure chaos, but was fun...and nerve-wracking...and I am mostly concerned for how anyone got home from that Park-nado that must have occurred in South Philly. Some thoughts on what we learned about Germany during this international break.

Bayern Munich once again came into a game completely unprepared and paid for it with a poor first half in which the team came to the dressing room behind on goals. Just like the last game however, Tuchel was bailed out by individual brilliance from the usual suspects.
