What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Berlin. The home of beer gardens, bumming and BDSM.
The city with an inescapable past. BLOOD! And throughout it all, the shadow of one man looms large. From Nazis to knob-jockeys.
From fascism to fistism.
From furibunker to sex dungeon.
This is Berlin.
So much history here in Berlin. That famous gate there was built to celebrate the Prussian victory in the Franco-Prussian war.
And that balcony there is where Michael Jackson threw a baby out the window for being too old to have sex with.
Berlin is a city of change, but one constant is their love of the tit. That's why they've chosen to make their parliament shaped like one giant tit itself.
Morty! Morty, Morty, Morty!
We're now on the east side of the wall where after the war it shifted jarringly from fascism to communism.
It absolutely stinks.
It had to move from being super into tits and changing drastically into being into arse.
Terrifying.
Here's a mural dedicated to the straightest men left in Berlin. I mean, standing here, you can't help but feel moved by this monument to loss.
I guess it's the scale of it, isn't it?
Shocking.
10,000 people. Well, there's a lot more. Maybe. Who knows? That's a big number.
We do know it was at least 250,000.
Well, you say that. I mean, one, two, three, four.
I don't think this is it. It's not a block for every... Is it?
If it is, I mean, it's like 2,000.
Yeah.
Unless this is for the guards who worked at the camps.
Right. To be fair, this is German, so why would they... Yeah, they wouldn't do that, would they? They wouldn't be for Jews.
This is a memorial to the murdered... Well, the concentration camp guards... Maybe got drunk, fell out of Watchtower.
Something like that.
You know, when we talk about the Holocaust, there's so many other elements that we don't include when we talk about that number. And I think that's what this monument's for. Maybe. I don't know.
It's very moving. I'm hungry. Yeah, me too, actually. Currywurst? Yeah.
Welcome back to Vinverse History. I'm joined by Horatio Gord.
Explain that noise. That was, I guess it's a horny German. Okay. I wasn't really, I didn't know you'd start so quickly.
I just thought, get on with it.
I had to rifle through what I was going to do. It was going to be something German and it was a little bit too tender, I think.
I think that's, I think Fred again would have to go off stage and go back on if he'd pressed that button. Oh, fuck, sorry. We're talking about the Berlin Wall today. It's part two of our East Germany series. Yeah. And you're right, I suppose, in that there were a lot of horny Germans trapped in East Berlin and they could not get to Berghain. Yes. Although I think Berghain's in the East. It is. Am I right? Just check that, Charlie. Did you check that?
Berghain is in the East, I believe. And did it used to be a factory in East Berlin? I don't know. I believe. Let's do the history of Berghain. Come on.
Come on. Quick history of Berghain. The Berghain Wall. The Berghain Wall of Cum.
Don't touch the walls. They've got piss coming down.
Do you want to tell us that, Charlie?
We have a patron who used to work at the door at Berghain and he says that he can get us all in. I can't believe that. He got Young Lean in last year. Who's Young Lean? A Norwegian rapper.
Yes, but Young Lean is a massive rapper, so I imagine he probably would be loud in any way. I don't think he needs to be gotten in.
We're one of the biggest history podcasts in the world.
Yes. We can all get in there.
We're the biggest Holocaust denial podcast in the world and you're saying we can't get into Berghain?
We'll ask this guy, can you comment now with more details?
But I'm up for it, and I think... We have to go in in the suits, though.
Yes, but we have to be given freedom to wear what we want, what we feel comfortable in. Yes, and we have to be allowed to take photos. The one thing we can... I want to know what's going on there. The only thing that we maybe can compromise on is we can cut out arseless chaps of suits. Yes, I'm happy to compromise on that. As long as we can wear these suits, I will meet you in the middle and cut a square out of my... Happy to...
