Episode 107 is here! This week we are joined in studio by Dan's old friend Pat. Taylor reviews A24 film, The Farewell and Dan breaks down Crossfaith's "Ex Machina". After next week's picks, we hear what the guys have been up to, spend some time talking about the return of Major League Baseball, the dynamics of a 60 game season and talk about Josh's unconventional favorite Yankee. We also get a rundown of who's been cancelled, a return to movie theaters, 40 million Deutschmark and so much more on Episode 107 of You Watch, I Listen!

Berlin now has 750 millionaire residents - twice as many as in 2016, according to the Finanzamt. The majority live in the city's west. More live in Kreuzberg than Prenzlauer Berg. Strangely, the Finanzamt defines a millionaire as someone with over €500,000 in income and assets - a hang-over from the Deutschmark days, as DMs are worth half as much as Euros. The former German royal family wants its castles back. The remaining Hohenzollerns are relatives of the Nazi-supporting Kaiser Wilhelm II, who abdicated in 1918. His descendants are trying to claim compensation from the states of Berlin and Brandenburg, including artworks from museums, and Schloss Cecilienhof in Potsdam, where they want to live rent-free. Berlin has introduced a rent freeze. All rents will be capped at their current level for five years, backdated to mid June. Landlords who breach the cap face huge fines. The city is now also talking about introducing rent controls for commercial properties to protect shopkeepers.  Electric scooters have been here only a few weeks, and  already we’ve had at least 20 registered accidents. One man lost a few teeth in a crash. A woman was stopped in a park in Prenzlauer Berg rolling along with her dog on a lead. Several have been caught extremely drunk. Drivers are not allowed on the sidewalk, can't take passengers, and can't leave the scooter blocking a footpath. The public transport network says you'll need a bicycle ticket if you bring an e-scooter on a bus or train. They've been banned from Tempelhofer Feld. Join us for our next live recording! It takes place on stage at the Lakeside Film Festival, a weekend of outdoor movies and music by a lake in the woods.

After her success renegotiating the EEC budget, Margaret Thatcher gave a speech at the College de Europe in Bruges, now widely considered to be a eurosceptic battle cry. But was it ever meant to be? Mark Mardell continues the journey through Britain's relationship with the European Union. From shadowing the Deutschmark to the resignation of Geoffrey Howe, he looks at the role Europe played in her downfall. Email: worldatone@bbc.co.uk. Twitter: @BBCWorldatOne

What would happen if you noticed that the East German 10 mark note looked a hell of a lot like the West German 10 mark note, both with the words "Deutschmark" clearly visible? You might have a scam on your hands.
