Ep 4. Berlin - How Do You Say Roots in German?

In the fourth episode of Better Late Than Never Season 2, the gang which includes William Shatner, Henry Winkler, George Foreman, Terry Bradshaw, and Jeff Dye explore the beautiful city of Berlin, Germany. The team is determined to bring down the language barrier and experience German culture and history to its fullest.

To start, they were greeted by a local guide named Krista, who takes the team on an incredible tour of the city, beginning with the Berlin Wall, one of the most significant and inspiring attractions. Jeff discovers that the Berlin Wall was 96 miles long and that the East German police had strict orders to shoot anyone who tried to cross it. Furthermore, the guide showed them the famous Brandenburg Gate, which is an iconic landmark and the only remaining city gate.

As they proceed in their journey, they visit a local cafe where they learn how to order their German coffee and cake in German. They also get an opportunity to try their unique brews and learn about their coffee-making techniques from the locals. Henry, for instance, is astonished by the type of coffee traditionally brewed in Berlin and compliments its unique taste.

The team also visits a local market where Jeff and Terry participate in an absurd challenge to identify the nationality of various sausages by tasting them blindly. The stakes in this competition are high because the loser will have to wear the name of the winner's favorite athlete on their t-shirt for the rest of the trip. The outcome of the challenge is hilarious and will leave you in stitches.

The highlight of their trip, though, is when they trace their roots to the museum where their language ancestors are displayed. The team discovers information about their lineage that they never knew existed. Jeff, in particular, learns about his great-grandfather, a celebrated inventor and entrepreneur, who migrated to America during World War II.

Despite their many achievements and accomplishments, the team admits that they know so little about their ancestry and that this experience has brought a new perspective to the history of their families. They also discover that their heritage goes beyond the murals and artifacts on display and extends into the food and cuisine of the German culture. The team experiences Germany's traditional cuisine, beer, and wine, and shares hearty and emotional moments that make this episode unforgettable.

In conclusion, Better Late Than Never's fourth episode in Season 2, Berlin - How Do You Say Roots in German? showcase the team's abundance of energy and enthusiasm.
