Mendards has everything including things you weren't looking for

Marjorie Zeager

listen you gotta keep the congregations from getting too weird or else they start handling snakes or inventing prosperity gospel

Again since I have German low lands mennonite ancestry, good chances I have ancestors that were part of this crazy rebellion. Also having some very distance to the Amish.

Love you to death nate and your stories, I'm an og punk dude too but for fucks sake this one got derailed a little to much. Slow down on the Addys a sinch brother 😆 ps no hate no shame, i was just really looking forward to the conclusion, it went hard the last couple episodes but I feel like this one just spun a little too far out. Love yall, fux w ya, so glad I'm here w yall

I need to find this dog comic…For a friend of course.

Brenden

That’s the best part!

I found my self listening to this series on the Amtrak and utterly surrounded by a mix of Amish and Mennonites. wow. Just wow.

Oh God the Menard's jingle. It's not just in Indiana, there's plenty of them in Minnesota. They sell good winter gear though, I got a trapper hat (which I think of as a Midwestern ushanka) and some gloves for like $15 last year.

Just finished this and A: Rare Providence shout out, and B: There are weird clutches of Mennonites in Mass. I know there's a cluster of them in Bellingham.

The idea of Nate doing this while cuddling a baby is kind of adorable.

I was initially quite pissed off that these episodes had very little to do with the variety of cheese, but i must say, these episodes were phenomenal and make me very thankful that all the anabaptists I know now are the sugar pie and barn raising kind and not the lets all start a religious war between everyone shitting themselves to death kind. Thanks for the random music deep dives throughout as well.

Anybody have the sauce on the dutch vice news bit? I feel like I need the context to get the joke.

I mean yeah, that makes complete logical sense but this is a matter of faith which for better or worse kinda throws logic out the window. Especially to the people we’re talking about, where everything they have is literally straight from god in their perspective so these things truly matter a lot more to them. I think that just shows a marked change in the way people look at faith and the concept of god in general, because I’m a Christian and essentially did the very process you’re talking about because we don’t look at the process of a baptism the way they used to. To us nowadays, a baptism is really jsut a symbolic gesture to publicly proclaim faith, but back then it was a true religious ritual that actually had an effect yknow.

So correct me if I'm wrong, but the primary issue the church originally had with the whole anabaptist thing was that they weren't baptising their kids, right? I feel like a workable compromise would've been to keep baptising their kids as the church wanted, but then also have a second baptism when they come of age - you can write whatever postfacto doctrinal justification for this after the fact but I feel like that would've done a lot to keep the church off their ass in the early stages of it. "Okay, this first baptism - that's more of our thing as your parents but your second - much more lowkey baptism - that's a personal thing between you and the sky guy upstairs just keep it on the dl gabeesh?"

Sid didn't kill Nancy though that was a fairly bad error to make

htlaets

I love every divergence into music lore by Nate. It's one of my fav parts of the show. Fuck the sex pistols

Malory McVicker

To be clear, I love it

Will_Pilgrim

Did not have "deep Balthazar Speedboat lore" on my bingo card

Will_Pilgrim

“Ah” 😐

Shoutout to Heaven's Gate

MerusMetraton

There's a really good psychology philosophy book that touches on the reformation and why this kind of thing happens. It's called Escape from Freedom by Eric Fromm. I highly recommend it.

Ryan Richey

I want a bonus show where the co hosts quiz Joe by naming three obscure bands, and he has to guess which one is fake

Michael Baumunk

Balthasar the big red rocket

Nicholas Gunter

Oh god that song, Nate! Menards definitely isn’t just an Indiana thing. You singing that jingle brought back so many Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio memories. The damn Midwest my god

Ben

This all this is why the catholics didnt let any weirdo read the bible

Gil the Gilded Dragon

This joke is fantastic. Thank you for that.

Markus D

I guess it can always get worse?

Lain of the Wired

at a certain point I kinda stopped conceptuallizing this in like realistic terms and could only think of like Wayne barlow's Inferno like Jesus Christ

Lain of the Wired

I grew up in a very Dutch part of the Midwest and all the uncles are Jan Smert here

Erin Sietstra

The Moon Turk was the most memorable part of Majora's Mosque

Noblesse Oblahaj

Oh, so that's why it's called Balthasar speedboat

Based on my experience in Münster the heady aroma of eau d’sentery was accompanied by the overwhelming scent of pumpernickel everywhere at all times
