Yeah, totally. I thought I was going to change it. Is your hair changed? Can it change? That's a hat. I always assume that was a hat. You say can it change, but you've commented on my past haircuts that it makes you feel sick to look at it.

Yeah, those old weird hair hats used to wear. No good. Look at this as a hair hat number two. It's much, some people have said it looks at least half a centimeter better. At least. Yeah, that's how we scale things on Dugon. Anyway, great to be here. Matt, are you good? You're doing a report today and did anyone notice as you were coming in? I mean, the show has started five minutes late and still Matt was writing the report,

sitting right there, sitting right there. I was improving the report. What by subtle, subtle different. Improving it by writing it. Yes. Okay. It's in my head and this might be controversial, but I reckon a report's better when it's written.

Okay, I'm happy to go with that. Okay, thank you. About the comment. Next you're going to say questions are better when they're planned. Mine. Matt, have you got a question to get us on topic? Yeah. I write it first.

Like a pro, mate. My pro, girl! Yeah. That might be the fastest regret face we've ever seen. I'm a pro, girl! Hates himself. Hey, you know, we do usually ask as well. There's always a question you ask at the start.

Basically, what it is is one of us this week, week Matt is going to report on a topic suggested by a listener Jess and I are going to interject and slow him down for the next 45 minutes or so and Matt you've told me that is quite You went blank. You sown down. You've told me it's quite a long topic. Well an interesting one. Yes, it is long and interesting Good stuff. Is it another fucked one? Yes

It also middles with death sort of starts with a bit of death. Death sprinkled throughout. But then it finishes with some death. Matt's report on World War Two. A lot of death. I feel like Matt's in the dark. That's, yeah, in so many ways, yes. We could all shift a little bit. I'm doing you a favour Shane, who's filming us?

So the question to get us on topic here today. What I'll be surprised if you know this, although David is German related, so maybe... German name, that's the only relation to the German. It's got German heritage is old a few people leaning into their friends going. He's a Nazi Not a Nazi that what happened there yet Which is I was only bringing it up to say that is not the case It's not yeah, you used to be a Nazi never a Nazi Never a Nazi a reformed Nazi guy.

He's one of the good ones. Yeah, one of their few good Nazis. Few good Nazis. The Dave Warnocky story. No, untrue, untrue. OK, German-related. Before the show started, your mum came up to you and goes, you're not going to swear today, how you doing?

And then she goes, I hope you're fucking willed. Yeah. Good fun. My mum is cool. Shucker-luckin. That happened last week? Anyway. Anyway, I went with this fucking report.

A. Mrs. Warneke. You're fucking legend, all right? Too far, the second one, yeah. Calling her a legend, no, eh? Mrs. Warneke? You're fucking legend, alright? Too far, the second one, yeah. Calling her a legend. No, just a fucking legend. Aggressive. Anyway, go on with the question. Question is, what event led to the hanging of three cages on the Saint-Lamparty Church in Monster Germany? Is that how you pronounce Monster? It's got an omla over the...

What the- what? Monster. Monster. Germany. Is it how you pronounce monster? It's got an omla over the what the what monstaff season your He's such a linguist I did not know you knew that I did not know you knew that. That was the fastest reaction time. Matt Shoe had his head. It was like... Yeah, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, Oh! What, were you guys saying Munster? Munster. Munster.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. That's capital. Do you guys know what event led to the hanging of three cages on the Lombardy Church and Munster?

Three cages. What of chickens when we talk to you? Entry. Death cages. You figure stuff out quicker than... The old death cages. Well that's our band name. Do you know it's got Monster in the name. Is it the Munster? Yes, story. Munster,

if I could just have a quick look over here. Rebellious? Yes! Well done! Well done! Yeah, I thought the dumb one. This topic was suggested. That is pretty true, for be honest. It depends on what you're talking about. You're not dumb on the streets like Dave. But I'm dumb in the sheets. I don't think myself anyway to move there, did I? I'm also dumb in the sheets, so it's a trifecta. There's a third thing I'm dumb at,

it will not reveal. We're all not revealed. I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a mancer in the sheet. Sorry. Sorry. He's packing a 150 plus IQ in the sheet, sorry. That's what! Anyway, Matt was saying who suggested this topic that we've all heard of?

Noah Davis, at Sheep's Sake on Twitter. Alright, great. You in today Noah? Good. Good to hear from you mate. Well done. Well you'll be listening at home Noah. Thanks so much for the suggestion. I do appreciate that. Okay, so the monster of Ball home. No, thanks so much for the suggestion. I do appreciate that. Okay, so the monster of belly and that's gonna fuck me all day. Part time. Anyone here are mencer in the sheets. Sorry, mums. And dads? All right. Feminist.

Sorry dad, I'm a feminist. I'm not sorry for that. I will not apologize. Good on us. All right. Well, we haven't started yet. All right. I'm having a great time, though. So I leaned pretty heavily on a couple of resources

so that I'd just name, check them at the top. There's a book called The Taylor King, the Ryzen fall of the anabaptist kingdom of Munster Anthony Arthur, well you read a book no he to be honest. I read the blog You read the blue book there was a blog by a woman named Karen Ann called German girl in America and she summarized it so But I cast it, you know, give props to the first guy as well. And also this article on mental floss called, why three man size cages hang from a medieval German church steeple? Man size, oh, little hint there. Wow, these are big, how many chicken?

So obviously that, they'll be in the show notes, those references. Anyhow, almost the report of written that there, okay. Before we get into the rebellion, it's worth mentioning the reformation, you guys remember that? Probably deserves its own report. I really didn't know anything about it. I know it's a big thing in European Christianity, but I read about it briefly. Just very briefly, it was a big hullabaloo, okay. You're right, though. How'd you spell hullabaloo? Yeah, it's very.

In the Christian world, kicking off in 1517 by a monk named Martin Luther, a pretty famous name. The Reformation probably does need its own absurd. And here it is now. But basically what he did, he had a bunch of questions about the church and how it was being run and he nailed those to the front door of a church or some shit. Sounds about right. An example of one of his beef was that he didn't think saints should be worshipped, but he never saw bloody Nikki Winnmar play.

That's my joke of the report. So that's what I got in early today. Oh, we've just heard the saints are a joke, mate. And you know what to do. Someone believe you're a better head, so. I'm not sure you told us earlier that you are cosplaying, but when you walked in, you are bleeding profusely from the head. Is your cosplaying nerd idiot?

Yeah. Yeah, I'll do it. I love football. Nah, good on you. You look great. I love football. I love the football. Yeah. So love the football.

Yeah. So Luke, you don't really. Oh, well they're worse than fine, but they are. They just see the results out of everybody. We have an hour. Okay. Both of you need to know where. I came out of nowhere for a draw, which is better than a loss.

Yes. So, Luke, there's a list of beefs, commonly called the 95 Theses, kicked off a bunch of splintering within the church and a heap of different schools of Christianity started up with different takes on the Bible's teaching. A couple of the groups were the Lutherans, obviously, named after him and the Calvinists, which I guess were named after Calvin.

For them them I guess Anyone disagree or all right, but the main splint to them. I might have been all about what goods. I don't know all right, but the Do people do you want right over there? Like it's it's something really deeply political We got wildfire. We got wildfire. They, they, they, we acted like it's something really deeply political. But like, Kelvin. And I don't apologize for that.

Sorry, Dad. Um. But the, but the main, uh, Spinner Group we're talking about today was a more radical group called the Anabaptists. Anabaptists. Anabaptists. And uh. And uh.

And the Peptists. Great band, great band. And actually it translates to something like, uh, uh, rebeaptosis. and a Baptist. And a Baptist? Anna. And the Baptist. Great band, great band. And actually it translates to something like re-baptized. Josie and the pussy cats. Or baptized again or Josie and the pussy cats. Yep.

Conrad Grebel founded the Anabaptist around 1523, based around the idea that baptism doesn't really count unless the baptized person is beyond the age of reason. Which is that classic Johnny Farnam song. But I had time I was gonna get Webby to cue that up but fuck. Webby, if you can get age of reason I'll say that phrase again later. He just went... Consider it done. Ah, he's the best in the business.

No, the question is what is the age of reason? Well back then it was like four and a half I think. Consider it done. Ah, he's the best in the business. No, the question is, what is the age of reason? Well, back then it was like four and a half, I think. But no, no, I think back then I was genuinely like 14 or something. Today it may be like 14 and a half, but I think 14 and a half months. Yeah. Anyone works supermarkets? So, but I think that makes sense to me, Getting baptised when your baby is kind of a weird

I was, you know, it's like I, and I had very little say in that moment, dad. Anyway, but apparently this was a really controversial idea at the time. Many Christians did not like it. As a man, the babies or children who died would never be able to make it a heaven. Oh, that's a pretty scene. Because they, yeah. Surely you just go, all right, babies and kids get into heaven easy. And then. But what age do you cut off for the heaven injury?

Yeah, good point. But that's tough. It's red tape. Around this. I should tell Mum and Dad it's a real hot start. All the laughs come early and then we get into some facts, right? We sort of what I call the plateau and then and then we're brewing at home strong, so Don't think I haven't lost them. I'm just building

This is all part of a build I've got I've got a tiger mum and a target dad Anyone know about that? Alright. No. What does that mean? You know, the little girls who go into beauty pageants, they have a mum who's like on be hot a young woman or whatever.

Well, I mean, I'm paraphrasing. Oh, come on. There be on the age of reason, it's okay? Be hot a young woman. That's what I'm not saying, it's a good thing. No, I know. Okay. As your mum ever said the phrase, do you be hotter young woman?

No, I mean, I want to talk about it. Okay. So, who is, uh, this...gribble, is that it's name? Basically, I'm mentioning him again. All right. So who is this... Gribble, is that his name? Basically, I don't mention him again. All right. I've got... Struck from the record.

And I say, basically, I do not mention him again. So around this time, the Bible was starting to be democratized. It had now been translated into languages that common people spoke, rather than just Latin and Egyptian or whatever. Probably not Egyptian, to be honest. What? Probably just Latin I think. Anyway, Hey Bruce, sure. No commoners speak that. No doubt about that. I have some doubt. I have no idea. Anyway, so it had been translated in a bunch of different languages and the invention and spread of the printing press,

the Gusson Burgers and I, Guthmins. Or any. You probably mispronounced that mate, was it? Monster, correct, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Big invention, yeah. But a man that information was now being able to be spread around the commoners, the peasants,

right, and the Bible as well. Finally, they could actually read it rather than just have a priest going, yeah, now the Bible says, give me all your money. It does. It does say that. I swear to God. God told me. All right.

So now they're reading and going, hang on, it doesn't say that. Yeah. Jesus was all about everyone's equal and stuff. This is why I will try. So they're starting to interpret it a bit differently to how they've been taught. One part of the Bible and a Baptist interpreted differently was to see themselves as citizens of God's kingdom. Meaning that all of Earth was God's kingdom.

People read what I'm written instead of trying to paraphrase. Meaning that the church and the government had no real power over them in their eyes. They were also not able to work for the government. Couldn't get jobs like that. This was also not able to work for the government, right? Couldn't get jobs like that. This was also seen as radical as the church and state. A lot of snowboarders. We're anabaptist, true story. True. What's that face? It's like, we're great face, but it's constipated, we're great face. Yeah, I'm feeling a lot of things right now.

So yeah, the Germans say they didn't really like that, because at the same time, the Holy Roman Empire, which included the Empire of Germany, was the ruling class. So they didn't like the idea that their power was being stripped in the eyes of the Anabaptists. Another belief of the Anabaptists was that they got from their interpretation of the Bible was that all men were equal before God, like I was saying, right? This was seen as being super radical out there at the time. Super radical double double sharks Sharks And I and and if you thought that was radical what they meant by men was humans

Men and women all equal In the 1500s while scary Scary and I was really scary for the rule in class. Poor men and women were meant to be equal to rich men. Heresy, they said. You're evil for saying that basically. They didn't like it. Burn them sort of stuff.

I guess. While these ideas were not loved by officials of church and state, the idea that all people were equal gain popularity as it spread through the peasant world, obviously it was pretty nice thing for them to hear that they were equal to everyone else they didn't deserve to be in poverty That would be a nice thing to hear It would be a nice thing to hear In 1524 the ideas had gained so much momentum that they sparked a peasant rebellion Thousands died and there was a lot of destruction

It lasted about a year before the peasants were beaten back down. Bitten back down. Not very successful. But I mean, they lost it a year and they didn't have, they formed their own army with pots and pans and stuff like that. Everyone, grab a pot. I don't know that, yeah, I think that's why I assume that's what all right I'm bailing on a lot of thoughts here today in 1529 the Holy Roman Emperor Charles the fifth Called for all an abaptist over the age of reason A reason For the world around us

To be killed Oh, he's fucking... Oh, he's fucking... Oh, he's fucking... Sam, he's good. He is so good. Despite this, the Anabaptists continue to grow as a movement. Where does Monster come in? To all of this, you might ask. We'll give me a fucking chance. He wrote it down.

I'm about to get to that. You wrote that down. You're giving away a little too much now. You literally went... Yeah, little thing between you and me, right? Fuck, we're cute. Ah, ah! Ah, Munster had some degree of autonomy from the church, though it was overseen by a Prince Bishop. What a fun title that I have.

I'm not going to say it. I'm not going to say it. I'm not going to say it. Ah, ah! Ah! Munster had some degree of autonomy from the church, so it was overseen by a Prince Bishop. What a fun title that is, Prince Bishop, who answered to the Emperor Charles V. Can you get my water when you go down to put yours down? Oh, yeah. Everyone have a drinks break? Thank you, peasant boy. You're welcome, Prince Bishop.

The Catholics of the city were being squeezed out by the Protestants who were slowly taking over the city. First, the Lutherans, led by former Catholic priest named Bernard Rothman. And the Lutherans were fairly moderate Protestants compared to the Anabaptists. Rothman was sort of leading a bit of a mini revolution which attracted more and more Protestants to the city. At first it was the Lutherans but eventually the Anabaptists got winded some cool shit was going on. You know a bit of a revolution they wanted in. Oh the Anabaptists, they go wherever radical things are happening. Basically and I think they also kind of went,

oh, things are happening over there. Yeah, well, I've just heard from God that Munster is the new heaven on earth sort of thing. Yeah. They were very flexible at that. Well done. A man named Franz von Waldeck, which is a brand name. Oh, very good.

I think I like any Franz. Yeah. Any Franz, any von, any von? Oh, yeah. You know think I like any friends. Any friends, any phone, any wallet. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? Yes! I love the phone! Not even. Fuck off, even. Any evens in? Funny not to respond to that.

Any franz-von. Maybe I friend up the back. Very good. I got no idea what that means. Did you have a German name? Your name is Nient. Alright. So he, so Von Waldeck was appointed Prince Bishop in 1532 and he becomes a pretty key player in the rebellion, or the opposite side of the rebellion. The power dynamic has shifted a long way since the Protestants moved to town and the Protestants wanted this reflected on the City Council. Is this amusing? It's a lot of death going on. I just moved to town for some reason sounded funny. I don't know why. The Protestants are back in town. Yeah. I'm sure you've got it. Yeah. I'm early when he said

heaven on earth I was just like, ooh baby dude. he said heaven on earth. I just said No, I saw it but you really got it okay I saw Linda Carl I'll play the zoo. Oh wow so good Heaven on earth baby don't call me baby. Oh We're be again very slow Where's the boys in Madison Avenue ready to play? I just don't get this guy. So the Anabaptists and the Protestants raided the Prince Bishop's home and only back down when they were allowed onto the City Council.

From there they forced an election to load up the council even further with their own people. So they were taken over this town. Pantera, a star, webby. Right. Right. Right. Right. Despite the out of, how many people do you reckon

have been to see Pantera and Bill and DeCala? I'm fucking unique, anyway. Right. Despite the outabaptist believing all men are equal. One man, Jean-Jan, how would you say Jan in German? Jan, good. Jan Mothias rose to become their leader by 1533. He was... How would you say Jen? That felt like a really good interaction. It was efficient, we got a result. Yeah. Yeah, and that's changed my life, man.

Yarn you're wary. Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. So Jan was a fan of violence, loved it, seemingly right. And he led the group to banish the Prince Bishop at Sword Point. Ooh. Never heard that phrase before. Sword Point. And then he's got a sword at his chest and he's just walking him to the edge of town.

Yeah. One meter out and swords away. I'm trusting you not to come back in. I read elsewhere that he saw the riding on the wall and he goes, oh, I'll go. So they'd written it on the wall as well? It was clear. It was a clear instruction.

With a sword. Just chiseled it out, yeah. Zoro's strong. Get out. Fuck off. Either way, it was out of the town and a little p-oad to say the least. Yep. P dot oad.

I was afraid I was going to say poed. Gotta put a dot in there. Anyway. Mass anabaptism was now inflicted onto the people of Munster. Anabaptism. Yeah. Okay. They were forced.

People in the town were forced to be baptized and a Baptist style, right? Whether they were on board or not. That's got forced, I guess, means yes. The Catholics that remained were now leaving in droves and as some of them more moderate Protestants like the Lutherans were starting to piss off as well. The abandoned homes were taken over by the Anabaptists and the takeover was now pretty much complete. The Anabaptists had the town. The Prince Bishop was out, but it was a walled-off city. It still is the Munsterite. So great for protecting you, but also

if you got an army outside which the Prince Bishop did, he was able to surround the Saranaman lock them in, right? Cut them off, make moats, make it very hard for them to get anything in and out, right? So it was in a pretty strong... They were in a strong spot sort of, but... In every way apart from having their supplies cut off, yes. So like when the coals delivered a truck would rock out, the Prince Bishop would be like... And they would. And they would.

And then they wouldn't get their veggies. Yes, pretty much. Oh, it's so sneaky. So he was zooming out there, the Prince Bishop, setting up the blockade. And he did have a few cracks that bombarding the whole set up there. But they held pretty strongly on a Baptist. They were sort of reinforcing the walls and holding pretty strong And Matthias was starting to set up a bit of a proto communist society

I don't know if that's true, but it sounds fucking sick, right? I'm saying great proto. I got proto because proto Iggy pops up proto punk, so I thought that maybe I could take proto from there and put it on a communist Someone will email in. It felt good. It felt real good to be honest. Look, I reckon we could wrap it up there. That felt...

What else can I go? I mean, the surrounded, the little starving to death death and the scene. That's... Are you working way too hard for way too little?

Which is true. Come up, it's a great beard. Do you guys know this beard? And he was a dog. Yeah. The beard's the impressive part of that fact, but anyway. As everyone has seen as equal, everyone's belongings were pulled food closing, etc. were all put in a big storage areas and shared equally amongst everyone. If they don't

share them, they take everyone's clothes, put them in. Now no one has clothes. We're all equal. No food? No, no one has food. Equal. What do you think about Yarn? Are you thinking like in my head I'm like, is this guy, as I'm reading along with Yarn? Is this guy's just some opportunistic guy who's seen, because he can't, he was a baker from another town. Right, now he's leading, I thought maybe he's just seen this opportunity to use an abaptism to get power, right?

As all bakers body one. And I was wondering that, but then I read this and I realised that he really did believe in it, right? On Easter Sunday in 1534, Jan Mathias told of a vision he had. In it, God spoke directly to him, telling him that he should fight Von Waldeck's army single-handedly, which he did, believing he was the next Gideon. Single-handedly against tsunami.

Yes. No, he had a very small group, which Single-handedly against tsunami. Yes. Oh, we had a very small group. It's not single-handedly, isn't it? Different things back then. I think you had six of them. It is. Against tsunami of hundreds and thousands. Hundreds or thousands. Fairy bread. He was... He was one-hand.

He was one-handedly. He was proven. Try and single-ly take them on its heart, man. They get everywhere. On paper it was a suicide mission, but in reality it was also a suicide mission. He was killed very quickly. Six people versus hundreds or thousands. Yes. He was beheaded and had his head and genitals nailed to the city gate.

Druggenazzy's head was coming off. He was thinking, Fuckin' Hellguard. This is not what we agreed on. Sell me a pup, God. That's a saying, isn't it? Anyone? Oh boy. That's a sign. Sell me a pop. Sell me a pop.

Sell me a pop? That's your parents. That's a fight up, Stuart Fry's. It is literally a parents. That's a made up stew at fries. And he's literally a parent. Hi guys. What does sold me a pup mane? Sold him a dog.

Yep, that clarifies it. A dog? Yes. Oh, a pup's bed. You're mispronouncing dud. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER So anyway, yeah, the genitals on the nail

to the wall, nice subtle message. I mean, that message come at me, bro. So that... How many... How many nails? Big, big old, big old screw. Wow, wow. This...

I don't know what you wanted. What did you want from me there? I don't know. That was a real dodgy... Yeah, I saw it to your pub. Sorry about that. I wish there was a term I could use to describe, I saw it to your pub. Sorry about that. I wish there was a term I could use to describe what you just did to me there. This left a little power vacuum.

Obviously, their leader, Jan, was now dead. So, I left a little power vacuum inside the city walls. Also, there's no baker. Yes. I stuck up in there. There's a baker and power vacuum. Which was tough for the fairy bread industry, anyway. So many hundreds of thousands.

Just on butter, it's weird. Tops of butter. But they may do. They may do. Spoon it out. Alright. So up stepped another unlikely sounding leader. This time a man named Jan Van Leiden. It's got a van.

Not a barn. Where is that barn? What? Well if Jan is... Okay. Jan Van. Ah! Jan Van LaDan.

This guy, obviously a baker, a bit of an unconventional leader. This next guy, obviously, made for it. He was a tailor from Holland, who was the titular tailor from Anthony Arthur's book that I mentioned earlier. This guy's the big guy. This is the main man. The big player. Okay.

And we've been going for... Quite a while This came about as a goldsmith named August Johan Duchenne Soshten It's just easier if you tell me now Unnailed that scrotum to the door of the city So to speak old family saying Like old dad used to always say. So August, August Johan Duchenschnoschenum prophesized that Van Leiden should rule as king. He was a prophet. This calls me a prophet. Yeah. Okay. Real Ragtag band, I love it.

Van Laden heard that and he was on board. He's like, yeah, right? I am the next big guy to come in, alright. He said, he goes, oh, that's funny. I was also told by God that I was meant to rule until Jesus is returned. I am he. It's interesting, this is something I found interesting, that although men and women were supposedly seen as equal in society, the leader always ended up being a man. Sorry to get all feminist cuck-boy on you. But that is my role. That's my role and this, sorry, dad. Dad believes in equality too. I'm sort of selling him a pup. No, I'm not. That's not quite right. I misused you saying that. Sorry about that. Dad used to sell pups.

It was a tough gig we went from town to town. They're all dubs. Runs the litter. Anyway, Jan Van Leiden, which is a fun, fun name to say, got to work quickly to spanning the Council and installing a group of 12 elders to rule with him as the main man, right? Bit like the old story of Jesus and his 12 disciples. Although I don't think Jesus was quite as bloodthirsty. Before the siege, Munster was a prosperous city, but the siege was taken its toll. Supplies were running low, but despite this, young the man... I didn't work as well, now that I know it's not Jan the man. When I wrote that it was fucking sweet.

Now let's, we're gonna call him young the man. Young the man. So, Jan and his close associates were living like kings, having daily feasts while the rest got by on mega rations. This is the equal society. Yes. Good. They've worked out how to do communism properly there.

Proto communism. I read in some places that there were rumors of people having ate rats and even some reports of cannibalism. So, things are pretty tough outside the feasts. Um... You would not get eaten. I guess that. What, because I'm not a rat?

Why didn't I have why you would get eaten? Because I am a rat, yeah. Yeah. Just no mate on him. But I mean, can bet a rat. I mean, everyone's him or a rat. Who do you choose? can bet or rat. I mean, everyone's him or a rat. Who do you choose? Please choose the rat.

I don't know what the rat answer is. So, so Yarns now is living in luxury right. He was even starting to call himself the King of the World. And not in like a romantic comedy. Sorry, he's titanic comedy. He called it a day. titanic comedy to you. What did I do there? Are you calling titanic romantic comedy? Do they say that in titanic? Yeah.

What are you thinking of? What is that? If not a romantic comedy. Anything you've got male. You've got male. What do you think he goes? What is that? It's not a romantic comedy. I think if you've got male, you've got male. Also, Billy Zane has a ride in that. Remember when he pushed the kids out of the way to get in the boat? Man, I was crying with laughter.

Zane, you have done it again. So I have Bollicle. You tell me I sound like comedy? But he chuckled first and... I loved that bit near the end where the iceberg... Oh my god. I don't remember much of that movie to be honest. It's probably... you probably got the crux of it right there in the end there, I think.

Actually, there was the night I saw... I saw Titanic at the cinx of it right there in the end there I think. Oh actually there was the night I saw, I saw Titanic at the cinemas right. I'm a very old man and I also saw it at the cinema and it was heroin. Alright does anyone else, does anyone remember this movie? At one point, does anyone remember, it's an obscure art house film. You guys heard of it? You guys heard of it?

So during the movie, if you haven't seen it, one block here is if you don't want to know how it goes, but the ship hits like this, it's like an icy rock or something like that. And it goes down, right? And then it before it goes down, it goes vertical. And then you before goes down it goes vertical and then you remember that And a guy falls and he hits his big metal thing goes,

BING! The cinema laughs so hard, the whole cinema. Did anyone remember that bit? Fucking so good, is that a meme or something now? Have you got my hat on? Mesa, can you make that a meme? Thanks, mate. Little bit, little bit. Niiiing.

So good. Funny a song, I've ever done. So funny. Oh. Thank you. This next paragraph, probably my favorite one from the Mental Floss article. Thank you. This next paragraph is probably my favorite one from the Mental Floss article. Read it verbatim because it's buddy all good.

It says funny as any scene from Titanic. As life inside of Munster became increasingly grim, Jan Van Leiden promised his subjects that God would deliver them from the Prince Bishop's besieging army. This is a quote from him. God will smite them in their hearts so that they will run away, he predicted. But by Easter, he clarified that he meant his promise of deliverance in a metaphorical and spiritual sense, not literally. I'm not, what do you mean with what I actually meant? He was going to run away. No, no, no, no. He'll still be there killing us. But mentally, he'll be there killing us. That is awful.

Funnier in the rating by myself. Um, you guys used to be blood thirsty, but what happened? What was that? What happened? What happened? What happened? That was me. That was me. Yeah, I was doing a bump in person. I was like? What happened? What happened? Yeah, I still know it's still a bopping person

What happened? Is that me? Yeah, how I'm bop, what happened? It's pretty good. I'm adorable! What happened? I'm adorable. As men and women, I was saying,

a lot of snowflake MRA tops left monster. Since the rebellion began, leaving a ratio of nearly three women to every man. Snowfall. It is. It's not good for us. It's good to the dudes, you know? Despite this, Jan Van made it mandatory for every one of age of reason. What's the snoozing there? Where'd he snoozing?

Why are you, he's playing a game! Ah, okay. Sorry, sorry. It looked like you were playing a crossword. Sorry, sorry, Jess, I think I misspoke there. Despite this, John made it mandatory for everyone of the age of reason. Oh, you fuck. He sold me a bloody pup there, and then... Luckily, my dad's sangs got us out of a few bones. So, he said that everyone of the age of reason. Oh, I see.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! You know John Farnon played at my work Christmas party? Oh, Johnny, that is rough. It was fucking sick. How do you mean sick for you, but fucking shit for you?

Oh yeah! And the entire band was there. That's sadder than the ending of Titanic. Yeah. Which is the thing we're just talking about. Dispute. Flare. That's it.

This guy gets it. All right, I really wanted to know what's happening to these people be on the age of reason. What's happening? Oh yeah, I've had a few run-ups for this. Oh yeah. So I made it, sorry, to these people beyond the age of reason. What's happening? Oh yeah, bloody hell. I've had a few run-ups for this. Yeah. Oh yeah. So for every one of the age of reason to be married,

what, so if you're 4.5 plus? As far as I know, yes. And as there wasn't even numbers, he made it cool for polygamy to happen as well, with even end. And so he ended up marrying 15 or 16 wives himself. That's too many. Including Jan Mathias' widow. Bloody one wife, and I'm sure how about a 15 of them all.

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. You know what they're like. Through this whole time, he was ruthless with any de-centers having him all killed. So there was a lot of death through this whole period. Anyone is going, I don't know if you're nailing this mate dead, right? According to Manifloss, the polygamy announcement

drew major backlash on the night of July 30, 1534. 47 conspirators led by a blacksmith named Heinrich Molinike attempted to overthrow the city government. They managed to take Jan, prisoner and haul him up in the city hall, but the majority of Munster didn't rally to the conspirators cause. Loyalists surrounded the mutineers, forcing them to surrender and free Jan. The 47 roll killed. Oh, man. Oh, man. When one of yarn's wives disagreed,

how much death that I'm just skipping over 47 people, when one of his wives disagreed with how he was going about things, he publicly bedded her and danced around her corpse. Oh, man. Oh, man. Also, in my head, he's dancing like Beyonce. Like it's really good Janssen. He's got two backup dancers. And everyone's like, woo! That's good!

I reckon I think at this point you could argue that he started to lose some of the classic Christian values. At this point we could argue that he started to lose some of the classic Christian values. At this point we could argue, okay, yep. He's finally jumped the shark there. Fran's von Waldeck was still waiting with his army outside the town walls. Oh man, he must be so pissed off on him. He's having a few cracks but they're holding him back right. He's also, oh well just read. They, I keep forgetting that I got whole scripted.

They had, they tried a few times times, but the defense has held up. He wasn't super keen on straight up storming the gates as the peasant rebellion from a few years prior left his army in a weakened state. And he wasn't keen to lose more men. He even had to ask for help from other rules from nearby who were willing to kick in a few dollars or soldiers to the cause.

They feared a successful rebellion at Munster would lead to further rebellions in other cities. So they're like, we'll chip in for sure. But ee. The Anabaptists tried different tactics along the way to defeat Prince Bishop, according to mental floss. At one point, an Anabaptist woman named Hilae Faken.

It's a beautiful language. It really is. It's just like a little breath, like a...faken. So she hatched a plan to assassinate Von Waldeck and break the siege. She was inspired by the biblical character of Judith, who during the siege of Bethulia, seduced the attacking general, didn don't need to say like that, I got on a real run of weird German pronunciations, hollow fernes and beheaded him in his sleep. Early on the morning of June 16, F like and snuck out of Munster to seduce Von Waldeck, but unlike Judith, she was quickly discovered

captured and executed. I imagine he just knocked it back. He was like, no thanks. She's like, this is my plan. Yeah. No, no, you want me. You want me? No, no.

Is that how you do it, though? No, no, you want me. I thought you meant, is that, I thought you were asking, is that how I reject the haunts of people that throw themselves at me? I'm like, no, no. No, that's how you throw yourself. Remember Bob is an idiot in the sheets.

Struggier. I don't get when people hitting on me. What are you doing? According to Karen. That's never happened. Yes it has. It hasn't happened. Not so brutal now, was it? No, it was brutal. All those times it didn't happen. It was really brutal.

Just remembered we're filming. Yeah, I'll make a gift of that. I'll be good. According to Karen Ann, the Anabaptist was still confident in victory despite the hardships. He is maybe my favourite paragraph from her article. Obviously the one, my favourite mental force bloody nailed it, so I reckon it's not too. She wrote this, they even built an early version of a tank, a heavily reinforced wagon that might have actually broken through the bishops' lines if they hadn't already eaten the horses needed to pull it.

Oh, I got it ready to go! Grab the horses! One thing. Remember that dinner we had last week? That was fucking great. Yeah, we're gonna have more of that. Ooh. What less naying coming from the pen this week?

Some of that. In Germany they nine. No. What did you eat today? Like, you are so hyped! You think that? Okay, yeah. So it's in a lose, that's true. You guys wouldn't know what it feels like to not lose one time. King of the world, baby!

I was calling Connor, baby, not you, baby. I made a huge mistake. Probably unsurprisingly all, maybe not. How do you guys think the Anabaptists are going to go on this? Who do you think is going to win? Well, I mean, that's why we obviously all definitely knew what Anabaptists were. I mean, yeah. So they're going to do very well.

They've got God on their side, Matt. Yeah, Matt. Good point. Good point. The Anabaptist's confident was misplaced. Said that wrong. The Anabaptist's confidence was misplaced. In May of 1535, Onrick Gresbeck and Anabaptist Carpenter tried to flee Munster but was caught by Von Waldeck's army, rather than executing him, Von Waldeck cut a deal,

allowing him to keep his life in exchange for helping the army take back the city. On the night of the 25th of June, Gresbeck led 300 soldiers through a gate in the city wall that he knew was poorly guarded. Right? He knew this was a little weak point in their defence. Von Waldeck's army slashed their way through the streets of Munster, killing more than 600 anabaptists before the rebels surrendered. This might be one of our highest death counts.

I really think it is. Yeah. Yeah. Bernard Rothham, who I mentioned earlier, who was one of the guys who kicked us all off, preaching the different interpretations of the Bible. He's thought to have died in the fight, though his body was

never found. So he's still alive. But the other leaders were captured. They weren't killed, the three main men, and the punish dished out to them was pretty full on. So if you're a bit squeamish, maybe fast for the next few minutes, obviously those in the crowd tonight are just going to have to go with it. I haven't gone into one of the things I read was full on detail. I've gone with sort of a midway mark here. Jan Van Leiden and his main offside is Bernard Kippadoling and Bernard Cretching. Two burnards, that can't be right, maybe it is. What are you up to? There you are.

There you are. There you are. There you are. There you are. There you are. There you are. There you are. There you are. There you are.

There you are. There you are. There you are. There you are. There you are. There you are. There you are. There you are. city. Would that be right sir? Is that everyone over there? Burnards and... Come on out, thank you. Any burnards in tonight? I've never met a burnard. How are you? I've never lived. And you're so old. Don't, I didn't say that. I didn't throw my voice over there.

Disappointing, Jess, to be honest. Now, but true, well, well. So, they were tortured for many hours, publicly stripped of skin with hot tongs. I did not think that's what they were going to be stripped of. I thought it was going to be like their titles or something. Oh yeah, they started with the titles. I skipped the titles. Skin.

Yeah, that's fine. Don't think about that too much. I've so far, but you know, you can think something like that, but not make your brain picture it. I'm not doing that. I went straight to him. So far so good. Connor's acting it out in the front row.

So maybe think about that before you get a bed tonight. Stop it, Connor, no. Bits and pieces of their bodies were removed before they were eventually put out of their misery with hot rods plunged through their hearts. Oh, at that point, that's the... That's not great. Someone said some fun in the audience. Like a car, a hot ride.

Oh. Oh, that's good. That's good. They'd someone just drove into them. Into their heart. Precision driving too. Well done. Hard without horses.

Early hot rods. Anyway. Yeah, I mean, if you vet all the horses, you wouldn't have been a hot rod. That's how it works. Their bodies were placed in three large cages. Large? Yeah. I think I said a single word at that centre It's right. Their bodies were placed in three

large cages measuring seven feet tall and a yard wide and deep. A yard wide and deep. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. A yard wide and deep, yes. Which were hoisted up the St. Lamberti Church. St. Lamberti can't be right either. How's that meant to be said? Doesn't matter. St. Lamberti Church. See, I was pretending there was Lamberti,

but I was struggling with pronunciation-wide as I flipped it around. The old thing magic trick. All right. As I always call it. So basically there's a message, don't fuck with us, look at them up there, right? How long do you reckon they left the cages up there? A year.

Still up there. I mean, that's a long, it's one year. Somewhere up there. Well, they did take, they are up there now, but they took them down after 50 years and removed the bones. So they left the bodies in there to rot and eventually cleaned out the bones. So they're like hanging up, though. Yes.

So as the bodies are rotting. Yes. You know what? Yeah, you don't want us to walk under there. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, I. Oh. Oh.

Oh, I freak out when a bit of water from an air conditioner hits me with my face. I do not know that. Don't worry, they were some air conditioner. Oh. Oh no. The cages went back up though and remained on the church for 400 years before World War 2 and a bombing brought the cages crashing down. People like saw the cages and were like, bloody hell, they were in, they were sheening.

They were such beautiful workmanship. A lot of people noted. I really well put together cages. Interesting fact there. Almost a fun fact. Oh, he's not even sitting there. He's the last episode. He's really dropped the ball today, Wabie. There was a discussion about whether or not they should be put back up on the rebuilt church and it was decided, like they said, that they should be in there up there still to this day. As a little reminder.

It's been in original cages? Original cages, yeah. Wow. Karen Ann finishes her article. I'm coming up at the end here. Karen Ann finishes her article with an interesting story of what caused the rebellion, saying, so obviously to me it just sounded like, just classic people losing their minds on religion,

you know? But there's a new theory, and this is a direct quote from Karen Ann. There is a new theory that the rebellion may have come as a result of Ergot poisoning, you know what Ergot is? Ergot is, it's a fungal growth that spreads on wheat and rye when it's stored in damp places. The result can be mild, like convulsions or sores,

but it's extremist hallucinations, sort of like a natural LSD. So there's a theory going around that the whole town is just tripping. So they're hearing God talk to them, and it's just them tripping on moldy oats. Just fun. Yeah.

I don't know how to party. So that's the end of the report. I do have one fun fact if you want it, but I don't know if we have time or not. Well, you got the time. It's we're ready for a fact. I think we probably can do it quickly and then we should wrap up. Alright. Drum roll.

Here we go. Alright, so obviously a pretty brutal story like this. There's no fun facts directly involved. So I've got a fun fact about the city of Munster. Right? Munster. Munster, sorry. Three of the four most successful teams in the All Island Senior

Hurling Championships are from Munster. This is a different city, Munster, in Ireland. We did it. This is a different city monster in Ireland. We did it. That's fun! Matt Scherleysen, down the line, right before. Well done. Well done. Alright, we do have to wrap this up. I can't believe it. Four live shows, damn, guys.

No, thanks so much. Packing it out every week. Yeah, thank you. Everyone who came along, we really appreciate that. Hello. Thank you. Thank you. We'd like to really thank the European beer cafe, our Sandman-W, where we fantastic job. The beer department helped us out at the front there and also to Shane Donner who filmed these.

Let's give them all a big round of applause. Thank you guys. Thank you so much. Carl Chan, let's be helping us. Thank you to Carl, great man. Great, great man. Usually this is the point when we tell you to come back next week, you can, but we won't be here. So, I just have to you but well, okay, that's it. Thank you so much and until next time when we do a live show We'll say thank you and goodbye Well, that's it. That's the show. That was fun.

And that was the final live show of the Melbourne Comedy Festival. Yes, we haven't got any other live ones booked in yet, but we've got plenty of plans cooking away. Oh, yeah. Behind the surface. There's lots of issues. Behind the surface. No one's getting back to email's guys That's not true. It's not true. They are they are beating down our door. Yeah, like please come to our city and we're like We're playing it. We're playing hard to get You're like Berlin back off bitch. Yeah Paris never heard of you. Yeah

We um probably more honestly, uh, just haven't looked beyond Melbourne. Yeah, no, we've all been quite distracted. It's been coming up for so many months and now it's gone. You think, oh, I probably should have thought on ahead. Yes, but now we are definitely going to, we've got, we've got plans to go everywhere. Certainly Australia is most likely this year and then hopefully, the UK is still, and we're getting so close to our patron goal of the US tour. I think we're almost at 65%. That's crazy.

It's great. Seems like such an impossible target. Now it seems. Yeah, it feels like next year is a real possibility, which is fucking got me rock on. I knew that's where you were going. That's because I was regretting it before I even said it. Fuck. Could you say real excited? I know. Got me.

Rock. Happy. Rock happy. Got my soul heart. Can we just take this opportunity to say thanks to all the people that did come to the Melbourne shows. Absolutely. Bye, Far out.

Our biggest shows and people came and we packed it out every single week, which is amazing to us. And people come from interstate, which boys are minds, people come from overseas. Yeah, I really finished the sentence. I was getting to that. Out of space.

People come from out of space. I guess I'll be the dimensional. Some people came from interstate jazz. No, it was amazing meeting all these people and you know, people coming up and telling us how long they've been listening for and to the crazy crazy people that are like, I started listening to you two weeks ago and now I've listened to all 130 episodes and you think how have you done that? You're insane. It's just, oh wow. But thank you so

much. It's really, it's very humbling and surreal for us to meet you all. You're really lovely people, so thank you. Yeah, it was really, really good. Now, enough being genuine, it makes me uncomfortable. Yeah. We should, as we always do at the end of the episode, thank some Patreon supporters. That's right. We love all of the people that support us through patreon.com slash do go on pod.

And if you do that, really helps us show out. Makes us able to spend more time dedicated to these reports and the editing. And we get to do stuff like film episodes and upload them, you know, just sort of gives us one or two days a week that we can devote to the show, which is really, really cool. And in exchange, you get access to exclusive stuff like voting for topics. You get to pretty much dictate a lot of the ideas of the show what we're gonna talk about. And you also get shout outs. Two bonus episodes a month now is one of the rewards.

Yeah. Yeah. So heaps. Suddenly it's twice. You get heaps. Twice is worth your while to get on there. And we also like to thank by name some of the people. Matt, you got some names in front of you?

I do. What should we do this week? Monster related. Maybe how we'd banish these people from the Monster Walls. You've been banished. Yes, banished. I really like SH words at the moment. Yeah.

At the mo. At the mo. At the mo. Sure for a moment, Dave. That's looking very confused. I was just Googling it. What does most stand for? I didn't sell your pup there, Dave.

Don't fuck off with your pups. So how they've been banished? How they've been banished. Because someone was banished in the episode. At sword point. Okay, great. At what point? I don't know, I'm bored now.

Alright, alright. First of all, I'd love to think from Fort Collins in Co, which I think is Colorado. Oh, wow. In the United States of America, sage Hoffman. Thank you so much, sage. Sage Hoffman. What do you think you want sort of? Jessica, this, don't think, just go. Sage. A sage point. That makes sense. I don't know how you got there, but that does make sense. It makes some sort of perverse logic there, don't you think? Some people are afraid of their own name.

They must be. It's a plant. I know. So they're just holding a bushel of sage. We're deadly nightshades, as a sage. I'll shade that sage. I think you've shade. Sorry, fuck that. Fuck that. shades of sage. I'll shade that sage, I think you've shade, sorry, fucked it. Focked it.

Sorry, sage. Okay, so it's sage point. Sage has been much to the edge of the castle and banished for her. I'd rather leave these walls than see my namesake Spice in my face. Is that a Spice? I think it's more gonna hurt an herb. It's funny, I get confused by noobs and Spices. Fuck you, Colonel.

I'd also, oh my God. What is the yodds of this? Just as that I look over my shoulder. I'd love to think. I just look like that, too. I'd love to think from War of Dile South Australia This is entirely coincidental I'd love to think Chris Lavender Okay, let me have a go, let me have a go, let me have a go, let me have a go, let me have a go

Nice point Sage Everyone, we don't have anything else into city All the swords have been deployed in battle, we don't have anything else into city all the swords have been deployed in battle We don't have anything else to threaten our citizens with we've only got a whole bucket of sage You get out of it Chris lavender you get out That is very Fantastic, oh look ahead at my nose. I've got anything good Oh, you is very fun. That is fantastic. Oh, I'm looking ahead at my nose. I've got anything good.
