Bonus! Strange Practices Around The World

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,480
Welcome to Weird Facts from Around the World with Jordan and Tyler.
2
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,880
Oh, you put me first.
3
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:11,880
Yeah, I did.
4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:12,880
I know.
5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,520
I wasn't expecting that.
6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:23,520
Did you know that in China they serve you beer in a bag?
7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,220
I didn't know that.
8
00:00:25,220 --> 00:00:26,220
With a straw.
9
00:00:26,220 --> 00:00:28,160
A bag with a straw.
10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,760
Like if you buy a pint of beer, they give it to you in a bag?
11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,720
I don't like that.
12
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:40,760
I feel like the more intoxicated you become, the harder that's going to be.
13
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:47,720
You go to a beer festival and you just like, ah, get bags of beer.
14
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:48,720
You just get bags of beer.
15
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,800
Oh, they have straws on them.
16
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:51,800
You can add a straw.
17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,400
Oh, you have to add your own straw?
18
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,080
It depends on where you go.
19
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,680
I feel like that's the problem.
20
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,800
Also drinking beer through a straw seems suboptimal.
21
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:10,200
Yeah, I don't think I've ever had beer through a straw.
22
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,160
I don't know how that would work.
23
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,240
Can you imagine drinking wine through a straw?
24
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,240
Yeah.
25
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,640
Like, I feel like it's the same thing.
26
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,040
I've drank wine through a straw.
27
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,040
Red wine.
28
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,040
Have you?
29
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,840
I've had a friend who was obsessed with her teeth.
30
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,360
And so she drank red wine through a straw and coffee through a straw.
31
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,600
Hot coffee.
32
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,500
So that it wouldn't touch her teeth.
33
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:43,920
So she would serve it to me that way too.
34
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,760
But it's still going to touch her teeth.
35
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,000
Not the same.
36
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
You think so?
37
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,940
And I told her I'd rather have teeth that need to be whitened than have lips that look
38
00:01:55,940 --> 00:01:58,480
like I've been smoking forever.
39
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,240
That is such a good, yeah.
40
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:11,600
Yeah, because those pursed lips that lifelong smokers get, those weird wrinkles around their
41
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:12,600
upper lip.
42
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,600
Yeah.
43
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:14,600
Yeah.
44
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:20,800
But I mean, in my head, that stuff's still touching your teeth.
45
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,240
Maybe not the front of your teeth, but it's still in your mouth.
46
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,240
Yeah.
47
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,200
Like the wine or the coffee's still there.
48
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:36,120
I want to go to the Spanish Tomato Throwing Festival.
49
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,520
Sounds like a good time.
50
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,040
It's the largest tomato fight in the world.
51
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:48,800
It's not quite known how it became, but there are many theories surrounding it.
52
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:58,440
One of the most popular is that during a parade of gigantes y cabezuelos, I said that so wrong,
53
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:05,440
I'm so sorry, in 1945, those who weren't included in the event started a brawl in the main square
54
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,160
using tomatoes from a local vegetable stand as weapons.
55
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,720
Regardless, this annual festival is held in Muñoz, Spain.
56
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,800
How's it spelled?
57
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,520
B-U-N with a thingy, O-L.
58
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:23,520
Tilde.
59
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:24,520
Muñoz.
60
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,520
Muñoz.
61
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,520
It's like this.
62
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,040
Yeah, tilde.
63
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,040
Not an accent.
64
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,040
Or tilde.
65
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,040
Tilde.
66
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,040
T-I-L-D-E.
67
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,040
Tilde.
68
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:43,520
It's like the N in jalapeno.
69
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:50,880
And it just literally consists of people throwing tomatoes at each other for fun.
70
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:56,520
I feel like it's a waste of food, but who am I to judge the Spaniards?
71
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,920
Why are all the weird traditions food related?
72
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,960
That's a great question.
73
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,040
Why is it always the Spaniards?
74
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,400
This one's India.
75
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,480
Smashing coconuts on people's skulls.
76
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,760
Sounds like a concussion.
77
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:21,500
Breaking coconuts on people's heads is a ritual that has been around for a long time in southern
78
00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:23,160
parts of India.
79
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,800
Their extreme superstition has caused this to become an obsession, and therefore, despite
80
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:35,040
warnings, they have continued to perform this act that has been around since the colonial
81
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,320
period.
82
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,720
It was probably the British.
83
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,120
Maybe it was Indians cracking coconuts on the heads of the Brits.
84
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,680
Oh, I hope so.
85
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:47,680
Yeah.
86
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,000
As I say, you might want to move your mic a bit.
87
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000
You were blowing out your peas.
88
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,200
There you go.
89
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,640
It's so far from my mouth and it still goes.
90
00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:59,640
Oh, but you sound fine.
91
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:00,640
You sound great.
92
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:01,640
Okay.
93
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:02,640
I wouldn't mind you.
94
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:03,640
Yeah, of course.
95
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:04,640
Of course.
96
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:11,380
Devotees of the Hindu religion will gather inside the temple and the priest will smash
97
00:05:11,380 --> 00:05:17,040
coconuts on the heads of each of them, one after the other, as a sign to the gods that
98
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,900
they are asking for good health and success.
99
00:05:19,900 --> 00:05:27,160
The subjects will then usually walk away as if unfazed by the event.
100
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:34,360
And get a concussion because I feel like there's got to be concussions happening.
101
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,800
Do they grow coconuts in India?
102
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,080
I was wondering that.
103
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,080
I feel like the climate would be right for it.
104
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,080
Okay.
105
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:55,280
Like, because we're, coconuts, yeah, like India's pretty close to the equator.
106
00:05:55,280 --> 00:05:59,920
So I could see coconuts growing in India.
107
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:03,480
I think this next one would smell bad.
108
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,680
You don't think the tomatoes would smell bad?
109
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,400
Those would smell bad in a couple days.
110
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,520
Yeah, I was going to say the next day.
111
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,960
The next one's the festival of scrambled eggs.
112
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,720
I like scrambled eggs.
113
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,680
In Bosnia.
114
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,400
In Bosnia.
115
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,440
Whereas in the UK, we might celebrate the start of spring by picking some daffodils
116
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,800
or doing a spring clean.
117
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:37,120
In Zeneca Bosnia, they mark the start of their season with an unusual tribute to scrambled
118
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:47,840
eggs known as Bosnia as, I'm going to butcher this, Sinbrijada.
119
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:49,800
You know, I don't know.
120
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,280
Sinbrijada.
121
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:52,360
Sinbrijada?
122
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:57,840
It's in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
123
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:02,720
Yeah.
124
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:08,440
They start the day as they mean to go on with a large breakfast of eggs cooked in a large
125
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:13,040
pan in a city park near the river.
126
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:18,280
They then spend the rest of the day partying, barbecuing, and jumping into the river.
127
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:23,640
That feels like it would be cold.
128
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:24,640
The start of spring.
129
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,640
Yeah.
130
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:31,320
The start of spring, like when I went to Italy, when I went to Italy.
131
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,320
You're so fancy.
132
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,320
I was so fancy.
133
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:41,920
No, but I was there in early April and even in Rome, it was chilly, you know?
134
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:46,280
And these people are jumping in the river with bellies full of scrambled eggs.
135
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:51,480
So the next one is in Denmark.
136
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,000
Denmark's the spot.
137
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:59,040
In Denmark, if you turn 25 and you are unmarried, not only do you have to face Valentine's Day
138
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:04,800
alone, but you also must endure your friends and family submerging you in a cloud of cinnamon.
139
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:10,960
This is where the cinnamon challenge came from?
140
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,720
Sounds very Midsummer.
141
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,760
This longstanding tradition in Denmark is customary if a man or woman turns 25 and is
142
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:18,760
still single.
143
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,120
Firstly, they get splashed with water, oh, so it gets stuck to you.
144
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,960
Oh, that's sweet of them.
145
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:25,960
Yeah.
146
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,440
And then they get covered from head to toe in cinnamon.
147
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,940
It's not a form of punishment, but more just an excuse to be silly with friends and family
148
00:08:34,940 --> 00:08:38,200
and is a tradition that dates back hundreds of years.
149
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:43,880
Well cinnamon in like my, from about that area though, it's supposed to get rid of evil
150
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:50,240
spirits so maybe it's like cleansing you so that whatever's around you that's preventing
151
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,280
people from being...
152
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,280
Cleansing the red flags.
153
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,080
Yeah.
154
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,160
Ooh.
155
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,160
Cinnamon colored glasses.
156
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,160
That's what I'm wearing.
157
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:06,000
Well, not really, they're too red for that.
158
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,400
Depends if it's like red hops.
159
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,160
The monkey buffet festival in Thailand.
160
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,800
All right.
161
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,120
I want to know if they're eating the monkeys or the monkeys are having a buffet.
162
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,060
I want to believe that the monkeys are having a buffet.
163
00:09:25,060 --> 00:09:28,000
Should we not read it and just skip it and hope that that's it?
164
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,640
Let's just hope that's what it is because you know, I, that's more wholesome.
165
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,160
The monkey's just having a buffet cause...
166
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,360
No, actually I'm going to read it.
167
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,360
Okay.
168
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:40,360
Okay.
169
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:47,520
Sunday of November, something rather spectacular if a little bit strange happens in Fraprang
170
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:54,560
Sam yacht temple in Lopburi, Thailand.
171
00:09:54,560 --> 00:10:02,140
A lavish banquet is laid out and a big celebration is held, but not for humans.
172
00:10:02,140 --> 00:10:14,720
The thesis held in honor of Lopburi's thousands of...
173
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,600
I know how to say this word too.
174
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,080
So it's like monkeys.
175
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,120
I'm just going to say monkeys that supposedly bring good luck.
176
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,120
I have to know now.
177
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:33,240
M-A-C-A-Q-U-E-S. Oh yeah.
178
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,240
I know what you mean.
179
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,640
I can't remember how you say that.
180
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:36,640
I know the word.
181
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,640
Cause wasn't the monkey that was on friends?
182
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:40,640
I think so.
183
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:41,640
One of those?
184
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:42,640
I think so.
185
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:43,640
Yeah.
186
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:44,640
Maccackeys.
187
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:45,640
Maccackeys?
188
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,640
I like it.
189
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,640
Okay.
190
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:57,520
They supposedly, supposedly bring good luck to the area and its occupants and therefore
191
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,320
they are the special guests at this party.
192
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,320
Oh, okay.
193
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,320
Good.
194
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:07,760
The festival includes performances by dancers and monkey costumes during the opening ceremony
195
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:13,240
and towers of fruits and vegetables in which the monkeys climb, jump, and indulge on.
196
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,240
See, we were right.
197
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,960
We were right.
198
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:17,960
Thank goodness.
199
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:18,960
Germany.
200
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,960
Ah.
201
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:26,080
Polter, Polterabend in Germany.
202
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,160
Well, yeah, sure.
203
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,920
All right.
204
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:36,680
Meaning wedding shower is a unique tradition in Germany that is generally held the day
205
00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:39,600
before a bride and groom are due to wed.
206
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,440
It's a big party where friends and family gather at the front of the house and smash
207
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,200
things on the floor such as plates, flower pots, tiles, anything that makes a lot of
208
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,760
noise in order to bring good luck.
209
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:57,840
The only exception being glass and mirrors, of course.
210
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,720
Once the dish breaks, breaking is done, the bride and groom then work together to clean
211
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,760
it up as a preparation for the future.
212
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,280
How very German.
213
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,280
Oh, gosh.
214
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:10,880
Is there beer involved?
215
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,240
I hope there's beer involved.
216
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,360
Oh, there's probably beer involved.
217
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,600
Shoving faces and cakes in Mexico.
218
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,160
Hey.
219
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:29,800
Perhaps one of the best traditions at this list is La Mordida, a Mexican birthday tradition.
220
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:36,080
The birthday girl or boy will have their hands tied behind their back and when they go to
221
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:41,080
take the first bite of cake, they will have their face pushed right into it, whilst the
222
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:51,680
rest of the party guests shout, Mordida, Mordida, Mordida, Mordida.
223
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:58,600
Spanish word for take a bite is particularly important to note here that Mexican cakes
224
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,600
are pretty creamy.
225
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,600
That's a good note.
226
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,320
Here's Italy.
227
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,160
Little of the oranges.
228
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,920
Every year on the three days leading up to Mardi Gras, something rather strange takes
229
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:20,040
place in Ivrea, Italy.
230
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:27,400
The residents, by the way, everybody, I say everything wrong and you can tell me.
231
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,840
It won't change, but you can tell me.
232
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,960
I try.
233
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:38,920
The residents divide up into nine different squads and dress in battle attire.
234
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:45,680
Then over the next few days, they sling oranges at each other to try and kill the other teams.
235
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:47,560
The origins of this game are unclear.
236
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:48,560
I'm sorry, kill?
237
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:50,560
It says kill.
238
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:51,560
What?
239
00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:53,560
Holy shit.
240
00:13:53,560 --> 00:14:01,160
That seems like, you know, nope, that sounds bad.
241
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,280
It says kill.
242
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,040
I don't know.
243
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,320
The origins of the game are unclear, but it has become the largest food fight in Italy,
244
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,640
however, not quite as big as La Tomatina yet.
245
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:19,800
Yeah, well, the dead bodies are just adding up every year.
246
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,280
That I think would smell worse than the tomatoes.
247
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:23,280
The oranges?
248
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,280
Rotten oranges.
249
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,400
You know, I don't think I've ever smelled a rotten orange.
250
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,240
I have because I make oranges with cloves every year and they go bad.
251
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,040
Right, you do.
252
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,040
What does a rotten orange smell like?
253
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,040
It has a...
254
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,160
Okay, so if you've ever smelled a dead body...
255
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,960
I've not.
256
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,640
The sweet part of the scent of a dead body.
257
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,440
Like anaphrase, maybe?
258
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:49,440
No.
259
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:50,440
Okay.
260
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:51,440
It's distinct.
261
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:57,360
Why don't you just like cut an orange a little bit and leave it in your room for like a couple
262
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,840
weeks and then sniff it?
263
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,440
No, I might just do that.
264
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:02,440
When it's moldy.
265
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:03,440
Oh, moldy.
266
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,920
Like just poke little holes in it.
267
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:11,320
What was that noise for the poking the holes?
268
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,760
I thought you didn't like my noises.
269
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:22,560
I mean, I loved it in this context.
270
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,640
Finger cutting of the Danny tribe.
271
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:26,640
I think it's Danny.
272
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,640
It might be Dany.
273
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,280
It's Danny.
274
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:36,000
Everyone grieves differently after the loss of a loved one, but the women of the Danny
275
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,800
tribe in Indonesia have quite a unique and severe way of dealing with grief.
276
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:47,880
When they lose a loved one, the top joint of the woman's finger will be amputated.
277
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:54,360
Oh, one finger?
278
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,360
What about...
279
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,360
What if it...
280
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:03,960
How far removed do these people have to be before you stop cutting your finger off?
281
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,880
Or is it just the first time?
282
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:06,880
First?
283
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:07,880
Yeah, right?
284
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,040
Maybe it'll answer this question.
285
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,800
Maybe we'll dive deeper into this one another day.
286
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:19,600
A string will be tightly tied around the finger until it goes numb and then a family member,
287
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,560
often a sibling or parent, will cut off the top of the finger.
288
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,400
The wound is then burned to stop the bleeding and prevent infection.
289
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:32,200
The process is carried out to symbolize the pain and suffering after the loss of a loved
290
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:37,440
one and to keep the deceased person's spirit away.
291
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,720
Keep them away?
292
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,040
So are they just missing like all their fingers or just like one?
293
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,040
That's what I'm curious about.
294
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,040
And do you get to pick which one?
295
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,040
Yeah, right?
296
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,040
And what hand is it?
297
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,080
Okay, I'm looking this up because...
298
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,120
Because that just...
299
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,400
It's like, oh, my second cousin Bob is dead.
300
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,640
And then you're like, ah, there goes my thumb.
301
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:05,720
Oh, it's small to full fingers.
302
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:06,720
Wow.
303
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:14,360
Yep, this person has six fingers cut.
304
00:17:14,360 --> 00:17:15,360
How far?
305
00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:16,360
Like how...
306
00:17:16,360 --> 00:17:17,360
The first knuckle.
307
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:19,360
Okay, so we're talking tips.
308
00:17:19,360 --> 00:17:20,360
Yeah.
309
00:17:20,360 --> 00:17:22,880
So you can still like use your hand.
310
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,880
Okay, you still have some use of it.
311
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,400
Just like you have really short fingers.
312
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:35,000
Yeah, you would have really short fingers.
313
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:41,120
It's a way for the ancestor's soul to find peace.
314
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:43,520
I mean, I like that sentiment.
315
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,480
I'm not sure I love that one.
316
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:53,160
Yeah, I mean, as a way to grieve, maybe don't do that.
317
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,000
What about baby tossing?
318
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Baby tossing?
319
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,680
What were you gonna say?
320
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,600
I was just like...
321
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,280
I get what it equates to, you know, like the loss.
322
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,280
Yeah.
323
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,800
But like, that's a bit extreme.
324
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,600
It's kind of like tying something to your finger to remember it.
325
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:15,600
Right.
326
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,600
And never taking that string off.
327
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:23,880
I mean, it's better than our tradition in the US where like we memorialize people with
328
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,360
like weird stickers on the back of cars.
329
00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:27,360
Oh, yeah.
330
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:31,080
And no offense to you if you do that, but it's weird.
331
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,440
It is really weird.
332
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,640
Tattoos are cool.
333
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:35,640
Yeah.
334
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,080
But like, if you put like in memory of...
335
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:45,000
This junkie Toyota is in memory of...
336
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,280
Jim.
337
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,280
Jim Bob.
338
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,280
Jim Bob.
339
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:54,400
And it's like, I just, I want to like, when I die, I want to have it expressly known to
340
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,760
everyone.
341
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:56,760
Please don't do that.
342
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,160
What if I put it on my hearse?
343
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,160
You know, okay.
344
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,160
I would just expect you to...
345
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,160
I wouldn't put that on.
346
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,160
I would ride around with my coffin.
347
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,360
Well, I'll just be like, touch here.
348
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:14,120
There are ashes within this sticker.
349
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:15,120
This is an ash sticker.
350
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:18,440
This is the ashes of Jordan.
351
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:19,440
The ashes of Jordan.
352
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:20,440
Lick it.
353
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:21,440
Lick it.
354
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:22,440
It's tradition.
355
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,000
It's a...
356
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,720
We throw the ashes at the festival.
357
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:31,360
We put colors in them and then it's like a color festival.
358
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:32,360
Oh, yeah.
359
00:19:32,360 --> 00:19:33,360
That'd be really fun.
360
00:19:33,360 --> 00:19:34,360
Okay.
361
00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:35,360
So baby tossing.
362
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:36,360
Baby tossing, yes.
363
00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:39,880
This is also in India.
364
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,040
You may want to sit down for this one.
365
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:49,320
In India, they have a ritual that involves throwing newborn babies off the side of temples.
366
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,080
What?
367
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,080
What?
368
00:19:53,080 --> 00:20:01,320
If you got married at the 50 foot high Sri Santeswar temple in India, it's a tradition
369
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:07,960
to return with your baby and throw them from the top onto a cloth that is held by both
370
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,720
Muslims and Hindus below.
371
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:17,120
These are some of the strangest traditions, but although they may seem absurd to some,
372
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:18,840
they are a way of life to others.
373
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:19,840
Okay.
374
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,040
I need to know more about the baby tossing now.
375
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,760
I mean, I'm assuming the baby survives.
376
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,680
I hope so, but it's a 50 foot?
377
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,120
50 feet is...
378
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:30,120
Yeah.
379
00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:35,640
That's a pretty high distance for a newborn to be traveling.
380
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:36,760
Oh my God.
381
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:37,760
There's videos.
382
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:38,760
Oh.
383
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:47,000
I mean, apparently they're supposed to survive, but this seems...
384
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,760
Could you imagine if like some kind of, is this a CPS?
385
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:51,760
Okay.
386
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:56,680
So baby tossing is an Indian ritual followed in certain parts of India where infants under
387
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:05,960
the age of two years are shaken by the priest and then dropped from 30 to 50 feet shrine
388
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,120
or mosque while the origins of it are unclear.
389
00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:14,960
So you don't even know why you're doing it.
390
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,320
Okay.
391
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,840
This ritual is now celebrated in the first week of December.
392
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:30,120
It is practiced by Hindus and Muslims in a rural region of Maharashtra and Karnataka
393
00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:32,160
states in India.
394
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:38,240
This is a temple, Baba Umar Dargah and this is...
395
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,760
I can't, I can't.
396
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:48,440
One of the temples in Nagarala village, every year 200 families participate and over 200
397
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,800
infants are tossed from a height.
398
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,760
Okay.
399
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,980
So the baby tossing ritual has been practiced for over 700 years.
400
00:21:58,980 --> 00:22:03,200
It began during the times when the infant mortality rate was high.
401
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,520
Is it not with this going on?
402
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,600
And there was a lack of medical advances.
403
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,680
The ritual began as a resolution for the lack of understanding of the cures for ailing and
404
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:21,480
dying children and people of the religions, belief and faith in the almighty and priest.
405
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,940
The parents of the ailing and dying babies were advised by a priest to build a shrine
406
00:22:25,940 --> 00:22:29,200
and throw their ailing babies from the roof.
407
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,720
If they truly believed and trusted in the almighty, a hammock like sheet would appear
408
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,400
in mid air for their safety.
409
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:42,280
There are no reports reported mortality or injuries of the children from this ritual.
410
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,840
They're being shaken by the priest and then thrown off of a building.
411
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,120
Yeah, that...
412
00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:52,360
Well, doesn't sound great.
413
00:22:52,360 --> 00:23:01,560
I mean, obviously it's foreign to us, but like, yeah, that's a lot of...
414
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,400
Especially if they think that like, if when they started it, they thought a cloth was
415
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:06,960
going to just appear.
416
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:07,960
Yeah.
417
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:13,840
So like, was there no one down below catching the babies back when?
418
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,520
I guess not.
419
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:17,520
I...
420
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:18,520
Oh.
421
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,880
There have been efforts made to ban this ritual.
422
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,040
I could imagine.
423
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,000
The National Commission for Protection of Children's Rights made attempts to ban the
424
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:34,760
ritual in practice and they resumed again trying in 2011.
425
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,360
I don't think it went through.
426
00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:40,360
Yeah.
427
00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:45,560
It just sounds like a really not great idea.
428
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,720
Like just...
429
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,480
Shaking babies is bad.
430
00:23:54,480 --> 00:24:00,040
And also I think babies experiencing Gs like that is probably not good either.
431
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,040
Yeah.
432
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,000
Here's a picture for you.
433
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,600
Oh, good.
434
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,600
Oh, wait.
435
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:08,880
Oh my.
436
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,520
Yeah, it's pretty high up.
437
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,680
Oh, there's a baby falling.
438
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,400
I mean, it's really grainy, but...
439
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,600
Oh my goodness.
440
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,240
Oh, I'm crying.
441
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,800
Like, you know, it's reaching terminal velocity.
442
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,800
Yeah, it's very far.
443
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:33,400
Like that's nuts.
444
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,240
What if the cloth rips like, you know, when the baby hits it?
445
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:44,720
I think it's kind of beautiful that Hindu and or Hindi Hindu and Muslim people together
446
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,200
are doing it.
447
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,440
Yeah, like that's that's great.
448
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,880
You know, but like, I feel like you'd have to have the blanket just right because if
449
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,000
you have it too taut, the baby's gonna bounce off of it.
450
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:03,560
I think they like as the baby goes into it, they kind of like give it a little give.
451
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:10,240
I would hope so, and I hope it's like, whee, far enough off the ground that the give doesn't
452
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,200
make the baby hit the ground.
453
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,360
Oh, yeah, yeah.
454
00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:20,960
That's a lot for a newborn to go through.
455
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,400
Oh, no, I don't want that.
456
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,600
Okay, so in Denmark, people hang out at graveyards.
457
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,560
Hey, it sounds like me.
458
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:30,560
Uh huh.
459
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:35,120
Yeah, you heard that right, believe it or not, Danish graveyards are one of the popular
460
00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:38,040
destinations among tourists.
461
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,200
There doesn't.
462
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,920
Okay.
463
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,120
I think they just used a bad picture, but I'm like, that doesn't look like a pretty
464
00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:47,120
gay graveyard.
465
00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:52,280
Well, graveyards are usually seen as a spot of frightening experiences and most of the
466
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:58,920
countries across the world, the Danish have transformed these into unique and scenic structures.
467
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:06,920
What's more, they have changed these picturesque premises into striking bird sanctuaries.
468
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,320
There are lakes and meadows blended well within the landscapes.
469
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,840
People choose to hang out or take strolls around while experiencing the many old graves
470
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,840
and memorials.
471
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,520
Okay.
472
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,960
I need to see a better picture of a Denmark graveyard because that one was really ugly.
473
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,120
You know what you find in a scary German graveyard?
474
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:31,320
Oh, there's scary German graveyard?
475
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,440
Yeah, but you know what you're going to find?
476
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:34,440
What?
477
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:35,440
A frightening frown.
478
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,440
Oh, I love it.
479
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,400
So sorry.
480
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,600
Oh, pretty.
481
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,640
Oh, that is pretty.
482
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:52,080
That reminds me a lot of the Protestant cemetery in the middle of Rome.
483
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:56,320
You know, not all of us have been there, okay?
484
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:00,280
I'm sorry, but I'm just saying it's really pretty.
485
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,120
There's a pyramid in there on the outskirts and there's a bunch of cats because there's
486
00:27:04,120 --> 00:27:07,400
a bunch of cats in Rome anyway.
487
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:13,120
But it's really, really pretty with all the flowers in bloom.
488
00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:18,960
Oh, this one has like rocks as the gravestones.
489
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:19,960
I like that.
490
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,280
Oh, this one has rocks all around the gravestones.
491
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:25,960
Paris has a lot of cats in their graveyard.
492
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,000
I made a lot of friends with those cats.
493
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,680
Yeah, they're very friendly.
494
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:36,000
They are very friendly cats.
495
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,480
Brazilians brush their teeth at work.
496
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:41,480
Just so you know.
497
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,200
Hey, I'm glad I know that now.
498
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:50,240
It seems that Brazilians bear the tiniest of concerns as far as self hygiene is concerned.
499
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:55,120
They carry their toothbrushes and paste to work for post lunch tooth brushing.
500
00:27:55,120 --> 00:27:58,080
My dentist said you should not do that.
501
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,440
In fact, do not be surprised if you come across a typical Brazilian who claims to brush their
502
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,580
teeth multiple times a day.
503
00:28:04,580 --> 00:28:09,880
So much is the routine that some restaurants provide liquid mouthwash fresheners to their
504
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,760
patrons after their meals.
505
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:19,560
Okay, that's a lot of tooth brushing.
506
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,480
Yeah.
507
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,400
That's really bad for the enamel of your teeth.
508
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,600
Hopefully they're using a really soft bristle toothbrush.
509
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:33,640
Yeah, one would hope.
510
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,640
Or like a rip slip brush.
511
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,640
Remember those?
512
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:38,640
No.
513
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,000
The brush ups.
514
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,680
You put them on your finger and you go.
515
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,680
Oh yeah.
516
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:46,680
Okay.
517
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:51,280
Little finger brushes.
518
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:52,880
Like my teeth squeaks.
519
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,120
I like the teeth squeaks.
520
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,920
You'll never be fired in Japan.
521
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:04,300
That's where I'm going to go get a job right now.
522
00:29:04,300 --> 00:29:09,880
So the labor laws in Japan mandate employers to facilitate the fired employees with a massive
523
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,760
compensation package.
524
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:17,320
However, many employers isolate the employees in locked rooms and force them to endure some
525
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:23,280
awful tasks, which eventually make these employees quit instead of get fired.
526
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,320
Okay.
527
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:31,720
Well, that's kind of like what we do though, so that you don't get your tiny amount of
528
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,400
unemployment.
529
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,560
Is that blow high I see?
530
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:38,560
Blow high?
531
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,120
Is that behind you?
532
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,120
You just moved them.
533
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:42,120
This?
534
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,120
No, not the, no, I know that's not blow high.
535
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,960
Down by your, by your butt.
536
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,760
Oh, that's my heating pad.
537
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:54,400
It looked like, I think it was the blow high, but maybe.
538
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,400
My heating pad?
539
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:56,400
Right.
540
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:57,400
Oh, nope.
541
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:58,400
It's the heating pad.
542
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,400
Okay.
543
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:00,400
All right.
544
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,400
My back hurts.
545
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,400
We're getting comfy.
546
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:03,400
Yeah.
547
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:04,400
Do I read this one?
548
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:05,400
Yes.
549
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:06,400
Okay.
550
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:13,400
Germany's, oh, we already, did we do this one?
551
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:14,400
Yep.
552
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,400
It's the same one.
553
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:18,400
Okay.
554
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:26,120
Red ink in South Korea among the weird traditions in the world.
555
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:31,440
Try and avoid using red ink to write names in South Korea for historically it was used
556
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,520
to write names of dead people.
557
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:35,520
Oh.
558
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:36,520
Yeah.
559
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,400
I guess you would want to avoid that.
560
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:47,320
Spitting on the bride in Greece.
561
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:52,280
Spitting on someone is a grave insult in most of the countries across the world.
562
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:57,200
However, Greece seems to see the bright side of it.
563
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:04,320
According to the Greek culture, spitting is perceived as good luck that casts off evil.
564
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:11,720
So nowadays the customer typically doesn't involve guests, wait, the customer?
565
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,720
I was going to say customer.
566
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:14,720
Custom?
567
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,360
I don't know.
568
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:22,880
They said customer here and I'm dyslexic, but I read it a few times.
569
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:28,880
Typically doesn't involve guests showering their spit right at the newlywed bride.
570
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:35,480
It does just progress into a more figurative act where they primarily just utter the spitting
571
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:36,960
sound.
572
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,360
I've seen that.
573
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,320
Okay.
574
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,440
And it's not just at the wedding, at weddings.
575
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:49,720
Greeks follow this custom for other traditions too like baptisms and even during routine
576
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,840
conversations to cast away evil.
577
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:57,360
I want to start spitting on you at the beginning of our episodes.
578
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:58,360
You better not.
579
00:31:58,360 --> 00:31:59,360
You have your mic again.
580
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:00,360
Oh my goodness.
581
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:01,360
It was because I like spitting on you.
582
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:02,360
It's a great angle.
583
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:03,360
It is a great angle.
584
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:04,360
Is this going on YouTube?
585
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,360
No.
586
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:06,360
Okay.
587
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:07,360
Definitely not.
588
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:08,360
All right.
589
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:17,360
I'm moving you though so that you don't have to look at me from that angle.
590
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,520
Oh, I enjoyed it.
591
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:21,520
But enjoyed my chins.
592
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:22,520
Yeah.
593
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:23,520
I love your chins.
594
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,480
There were like 10.
595
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,800
No, there was only like six.
596
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:29,800
And a half.
597
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:34,800
There was one.
598
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:39,720
Okay.
599
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:40,720
This is a different one.
600
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,000
I thought it was the same one we did.
601
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,740
The Yanomami tribe in Venezuela and Brazil.
602
00:32:46,740 --> 00:32:51,240
This tribe truly cares even for its deceased.
603
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:57,920
When a tribe member passes away, the Yanomami, after burning their body, make a plantain
604
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,860
soup out of their bones and ashes.
605
00:33:00,860 --> 00:33:06,760
This is the belief that the soul of the deceased will find peace in the afterlife.
606
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:12,680
Witness these bizarre rituals with our Brazil tour package.
607
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,100
Oh.
608
00:33:15,100 --> 00:33:19,400
We need to go and like pay to see their rituals.
609
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:20,400
I don't think so.
610
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:21,400
This seems scammy.
611
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:26,400
Oh, is that Jeff plantain soup?
612
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:31,120
Oh, I think we should let them do their rituals in peace.
613
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,120
You know what?
614
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:33,120
I agree.
615
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:38,440
Because that seems like not for our eyes.
616
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:44,280
Oh, I like the Czech Republic Christmas.
617
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,520
And I want to bring it to my little town.
618
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,960
The Czech Republic Christmas?
619
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:51,960
Yes.
620
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,120
What do you mean by?
621
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:59,880
Christmas is the best time of the year when it begins to snow and the town is covered
622
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:01,600
with snow.
623
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:02,600
Thank you for that.
624
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,280
Very good writing.
625
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,400
And happy vibes.
626
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:12,440
However, Christmas celebrations everywhere are different and some have the most unique
627
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:18,080
Christmas traditions that are very rare, but so exciting.
628
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,600
This sounds like it was generated by AI.
629
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,360
I think so.
630
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:31,040
In Austria, Czech Republic and Romania, the hideous beast of Krampus accompanies St. Nicholas
631
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,880
and punishes naughty children on the streets during Christmas.
632
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:42,960
In Czech Republic, they have a Krampus festival and parade.
633
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:43,960
That would be fun.
634
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:44,960
It would be fun.
635
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,360
I think I could get people excited about it.
636
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,680
The churches would sue me.
637
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,520
Yeah, yeah, oh, absolutely.
638
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,240
Oh, they'll lose, but they can sue me.
639
00:34:56,240 --> 00:34:58,960
I will represent myself.
640
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,960
I can be all go with Krampus.
641
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:03,960
We all go with Krampus.
642
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,520
Oh, yes.
643
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,640
But like once you win and the festival can go on.
644
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,760
You'll just be Krampus all year?
645
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:13,760
Yeah.
646
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,080
You know, why not?
647
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,440
I'm going to go to ask Krampus to court.
648
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,200
Yes, I support that.
649
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,080
I think that'd be a great idea.
650
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,000
I'll go with Santa Claus then.
651
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,280
Teaming up, joining forces.
652
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:37,080
Oh, there's some more spitting in Greece.
653
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:38,440
Not just for weddings?
654
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,560
Not just for weddings.
655
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,760
It's not just for weddings anymore.
656
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:48,400
New and improved.
657
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:49,400
I don't know.
658
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,760
It says like spitting on a bridge, but then it doesn't say anything about it and like
659
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:59,880
the thing.
660
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:03,400
You know, chant GT can only generate so much.
661
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:04,800
Yeah.
662
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:09,560
Oh, the long neck women.
663
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:10,560
They're so beautiful.
664
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:18,240
Well, this one has like a shiny guy.
665
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:21,520
Where do you come from?
666
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,920
Where did you come from, shiny guy?
667
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:33,520
Oh, this is like very traditional, like from like Sweden, but it's down in Mexico, which
668
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,200
is very strange.
669
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,200
Oh.
670
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:43,160
Oaxaca, Mexico has a massive radish carving festival during the holiday season.
671
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:44,160
Radishes?
672
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:51,640
Radishes are what they use to carve before pumpkins.
673
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,600
Do radishes get that big?
674
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:59,560
Or are they just much smaller in scale?
675
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,600
They were smaller in scale, but radishes can get pretty big.
676
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:03,600
Okay.
677
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,920
I was thinking like, you know, little gourds.
678
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,520
I was thinking like that size.
679
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:08,520
Radish.
680
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:13,160
But that's, hey, if they grow bigger, then that's pretty cool.
681
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,520
I didn't, I didn't know that.
682
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:20,240
Oh, they do like pretty radish carvings in Mexico.
683
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:25,240
Turnips, maybe it was turnips that I'm thinking of.
684
00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:26,880
Uh huh.
685
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:27,880
I could see turnips.
686
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,880
Yeah, they're so creepy.
687
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,800
These were the original jack-o-lanterns.
688
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,520
Absolutely not.
689
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:37,520
No.
690
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:38,520
Fuck that.
691
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:39,520
Jesus Christ.
692
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,240
I'm not going to sleep ever again.
693
00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:42,240
Oh my God.
694
00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:43,240
They're so good.
695
00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:44,240
Possessed potato.
696
00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:45,240
Oh, they're so good.
697
00:37:45,240 --> 00:37:46,240
I want them all.
698
00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:47,240
Yeah.
699
00:37:47,240 --> 00:37:53,240
I mean that, that does track for you.
700
00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:54,240
Okay.
701
00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:57,840
But they do pretty ones in Mexico.
702
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,560
You should definitely have some of those in your collection.
703
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:01,560
I should.
704
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,480
How do you preserve that though?
705
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:10,920
I guess maybe like you could just like put it in resin.
706
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,840
If it was airtight in the resin.
707
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:17,240
Resin won't, it'll, you have to dry things before you put them in resin or else they'll
708
00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:18,800
get moldy.
709
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,520
People learn that with dead things, putting them in resin.
710
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,080
Make it real gross.
711
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:26,760
Yeah, that's okay.
712
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:27,760
Nevermind.
713
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,760
I thought the, you know, being airtight and not having any air would, would suspend.
714
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,440
There's still like oxygen in the thing you're preserving.
715
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:36,440
Oh yeah.
716
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,160
It's just like making its own little biome in there, I guess.
717
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:40,160
Yeah.
718
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,640
Just like if you encase a person in like concrete, it's still rots.
719
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:50,880
Oh, well that's good to know.
720
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:57,400
I was trying to find a picture of something rotten and resin.
721
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:58,400
Rotten and resin.
722
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,280
That should be its own show.
723
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:02,280
That should be its own show.
724
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:06,600
I was just thinking, welcome back rotten and resin.
725
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,280
How did this rot in resin?
726
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:17,080
Tyler Holmes and the disembodied head of Jordan.
727
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,840
Someone put like a fetus in resin and it-
728
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:20,840
Oh boy.
729
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,000
Got real gross.
730
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,480
You don't say.
731
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:36,600
Well, the annual Noche de los Rabanos or night of the radishes is a tradition that dates
732
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:43,760
back more than 120 years for the event locals carve a variety of radishes that grow up to
733
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:50,080
three feet tall into intricate sculptures and enter them into competitions.
734
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,760
Wait, the radish grows up to be three feet tall?
735
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,760
I think the-
736
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,520
Like a full plant?
737
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,520
Radish festival.
738
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,520
Let's see.
739
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,720
I mean, I would love a three foot radish.
740
00:40:05,720 --> 00:40:07,720
Yeah, there are three.
741
00:40:07,720 --> 00:40:08,720
Yep.
742
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:12,680
Some of the radishes are really big, I guess, but here's one of them.
743
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,160
Oh my.
744
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:15,160
Okay.
745
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:16,160
That's really cool.
746
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:17,160
Like a dragon.
747
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:18,160
That's a dragon.
748
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:19,160
Here's a turkey.
749
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:20,160
Oh my goodness.
750
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:21,160
You guys.
751
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:22,160
That is so life-changing.
752
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:27,520
You guys, look up these rad- Oh my God, a praying mantis.
753
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,800
There's some cool ones.
754
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:35,000
I want some radish treasures.
755
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,200
You know, you should.
756
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:38,200
You should have some rad-
757
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:43,520
Do they have a big salad after this?
758
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,520
I like radishes in my salads.
759
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:46,520
Do you?
760
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,400
I know you don't.
761
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:49,400
You don't like salads.
762
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,720
Well, that is true.
763
00:40:51,720 --> 00:40:53,800
I just, I feel like that's a lot of radish.
764
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,880
Like that's like, like beets.
765
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,960
Like you know, a lot of people don't just don't go around chopping on beets.
766
00:40:58,960 --> 00:40:59,960
Beets are good.
767
00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:03,080
And the salad too.
768
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,760
Especially sugar beets.
769
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:06,760
Sugar beets.
770
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,680
Well, you can have sugar beets, radishes in your salads.
771
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:17,840
Every year the Czechs have a witch burning festival to ward off the evil of winter.
772
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:19,840
Oh.
773
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,760
Why don't they burn?
774
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,400
They must be burning effigy, I'm assuming.
775
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:29,280
They are like wooden witches.
776
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:30,680
Okay.
777
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:36,960
On April 30th every year, people across the Czech Republic come together for, I am not
778
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:47,840
going to be able to pronounce that, Choro-de-ge-choro-de-ge-caro-de-genese.
779
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:52,760
You know, I wonder if it's the same as Germany's Valpurgisnacht.
780
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,120
Valpurgisnacht.
781
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:58,600
Which I believe is around the same time.
782
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,280
This festival sees them burning winter witches.
783
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:08,280
Yeah, I think the Germans do something similar to, for the same reason, because it's spring
784
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,720
and they're warding off the winter.
785
00:42:11,720 --> 00:42:15,000
How do you pronounce this?
786
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,120
How to pronounce.
787
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:19,120
Okay.
788
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,480
That's not helpful.
789
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:29,400
It's not going to read it to me.
790
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,280
Oh, it's kind of like Burning Man, but for witches.
791
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,640
Oh yeah, it's the same thing in Germany.
792
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:38,640
The heat.
793
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:39,640
Valpurgisnacht.
794
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:40,640
Valpurgisnacht.
795
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:41,640
Val.
796
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:42,640
Val.
797
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:43,640
Valpurgisnacht.
798
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:48,000
Yeah, Valpurgisnacht.
799
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,480
And then nacht.
800
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:56,160
The heat generated from this fire is said to get rid of the last of the cold and to force
801
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,560
evil witches to go away until the next winter.
802
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:03,600
Afterwards, sausages are roasted over the fire.
803
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,920
That sounds German.
804
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,520
There are plenty of drinks and dancing as part of the fun tradition.
805
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:10,520
Yeah.
806
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:18,480
Yeah, because I mean, the next day is May Day, so it's a, yeah, I'm pretty sure they
807
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,000
do it in a lot of European countries.
808
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,400
They have an American one on here.
809
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,920
An American witch burning night?
810
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,960
No weird tradition.
811
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,440
And I agree.
812
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:34,200
I agree this is a freaking weirdo tradition that we have.
813
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,400
Can you guess what it is?
814
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:37,400
Easter.
815
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:38,400
No.
816
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:39,400
Oh.
817
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:45,120
It is a, I believe, America only holiday.
818
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,240
Oh, uh, uh, sweetest day?
819
00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:50,240
No, that's Ohio only.
820
00:43:50,240 --> 00:43:56,280
What is that?
821
00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:02,760
Sweetest day is like this day in October where it's like, it's like October Valentine's
822
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:03,760
Day basically.
823
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:04,760
What?
824
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:08,840
Yeah, it was, I can't remember who started it.
825
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:13,680
Like was it, I think Hallmark was based in Ohio or something like that.
826
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:18,640
I can't remember how the story goes, but yeah, it's like, it's an Ohio holiday.
827
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:19,640
Sweetest day.
828
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,480
Why didn't you send me something on that day?
829
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,680
I don't celebrate sweetest day.
830
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:29,920
I want a boo basket.
831
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:35,240
Well, I am so very sorry.
832
00:44:35,240 --> 00:44:36,360
Will you forgive me?
833
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:40,520
I post every year I would love a boo basket.
834
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,760
And then every year I do not get one.
835
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,640
Oh, on sweetest day you post that?
836
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:46,640
In October.
837
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:47,640
Yeah.
838
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:48,640
Yeah.
839
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:49,640
For Halloween.
840
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:50,640
For Halloween.
841
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:51,640
You know, okay.
842
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:52,640
Are you going to say Thanksgiving?
843
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:53,640
No.
844
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:54,640
Is that the weird American holiday?
845
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:55,640
Nope.
846
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:56,640
A lot of countries have Thanksgiving just on different days.
847
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:07,640
Right.
848
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:08,640
Yeah.
849
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:09,920
No, this is a weirdo one.
850
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:14,160
A weirdo one that you would think we're all witches.
851
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:20,160
Oh, a weirdo one that people would think that Americans are witches?
852
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:27,040
Or that we believe in like some higher power of some entity within an animal.
853
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,040
Oh.
854
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:30,640
Right.
855
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,800
I don't know what day this is.
856
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:38,720
There's a movie based off of it.
857
00:45:38,720 --> 00:45:40,840
There's a movie based off of it.
858
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:41,840
There is.
859
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:42,840
Yes.
860
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,280
And the name of the movie is the same name as the holiday.
861
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,160
Oh, man.
862
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:49,160
Columbus Day.
863
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,160
Columbus Day.
864
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,160
What animal?
865
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:54,160
A pig.
866
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:55,160
A pig.
867
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:56,160
Columbus was a pig.
868
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:57,160
A Spanish pig.
869
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:58,160
Yeah.
870
00:45:58,160 --> 00:45:59,160
Oh my God.
871
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:08,880
Why am I blanking on what holiday it could be?
872
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:09,880
Yell everybody yell.
873
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,480
What do you think it is?
874
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,840
Like there's someone, someone is screaming out there.
875
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:16,840
Okay.
876
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:22,920
We're going to wait and we like hope and we pray that this animal will give us good news
877
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,120
for the time to come.
878
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:26,120
Groundhog Day.
879
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:27,120
Goodness gracious.
880
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:28,120
Groundhog Day.
881
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:29,120
It's a weird holiday.
882
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:30,120
It is a weird tradition.
883
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:37,120
Especially since it's like, okay, well, I believe our meat are all witches.
884
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:42,440
It's weird to call it a holiday though because like no one gets the day off.
885
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:43,440
We should.
886
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:47,080
We don't get the day off on freaking President's Day.
887
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:48,680
Yeah, I know.
888
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,480
That's not a holiday.
889
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,600
It's a calendar holiday.
890
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,600
No one's over there celebrating the life of Chester Arthur.
891
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,720
Are you sure?
892
00:46:58,720 --> 00:46:59,720
Calvin Coolidge.
893
00:46:59,720 --> 00:47:04,920
But yeah, look, I get why Groundhog Day would be weird to other countries.
894
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:05,920
Yeah.
895
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,280
It's a weird thing.
896
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:14,680
It is super weird and it's so annoying because like everyone's always like talking about
897
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,800
it for days and days after it.
898
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,040
And I'm like, I don't want to hear anything more about this stupid Groundhog.
899
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:21,040
It's like Groundhog Day.
900
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:22,040
It's like the movie.
901
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:23,040
Yeah.
902
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:24,040
Or April Fools.
903
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:25,040
Same way.
904
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:26,040
Same thing.
905
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:31,040
This is the first one in Scotland.
906
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:38,600
Stone Haven Scotland celebrates New Year's with literal fireballs.
907
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,800
Doesn't surprise me one bit.
908
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,800
Do they put it in their apple cider?
909
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,800
Yes, I do.
910
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:53,280
I have to have my gluten free apple cider and fireball.
911
00:47:53,280 --> 00:48:03,240
As part of a Hogmanay celebration, which is the Scottish New Year's Eve, locals in Stone
912
00:48:03,240 --> 00:48:09,480
Haven gather and watch a parade of men and women's swing blazing fireballs around.
913
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,280
Ah, yes.
914
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:17,200
Ceremony is said to date back to the age of the Vikings.
915
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,440
I bet there's a lot of alcohol and accidents involved.
916
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,800
It's like, yeah, July.
917
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:27,800
They're just swinging fireballs.
918
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:28,800
I love this.
919
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:30,400
I want to go to this one.
920
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,280
Oh, okay.
921
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:33,280
The glaucus.
922
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:34,960
Oh my God.
923
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:36,960
How can I not say?
924
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:46,680
Glow, Glow, sester, shire, Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire, the Worcestershire.
925
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,400
Exactly.
926
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,360
That's exactly what it is.
927
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,840
England people gather to roll cheese down a hill.
928
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:56,520
I love this one.
929
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,520
Yeah, that is, I've heard of that one.
930
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:05,920
Each May, the village of Brockworth sees hundreds gather in an unusual tradition to chase a
931
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:11,840
nine pound wheel of Gloucester cheese.
932
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:13,840
Oh, Gloucester?
933
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:14,840
Gloucestershire.
934
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:15,840
Gloucester.
935
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:19,840
Gloucestershire.
936
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,640
Gloucester.
937
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,680
Gloucester.
938
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,040
Nope.
939
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,040
It's not Shire.
940
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,040
It's Gloucester.
941
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:31,040
Okay.
942
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:32,040
G-O-O-U-S-
943
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:33,040
You spell it.
944
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:34,040
G-O-O-U-S-
945
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:37,040
And then Chester.
946
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:38,040
Chester.
947
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,040
Chester, yeah, Gloucester.
948
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,160
Okay, sure.
949
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:45,160
Down a hill.
950
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:50,640
Down a hill used, Cooper's Hill is quite steep and uneven, making it quite dangerous for
951
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:51,840
competitors.
952
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:55,200
But the hugely popular festival still continues to this day.
953
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:59,640
It's like, is this going to be like a Rupert Grint thing?
954
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:04,400
Where you're like over here like, he's not in the movie.
955
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:05,400
Yes, he is.
956
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:06,400
He's not in the movie.
957
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:07,400
It's Gloucester.
958
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:11,420
Okay, Rupert, you are an amazing actor.
959
00:50:11,420 --> 00:50:14,160
You were so good in that that I thought you were American.
960
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:15,160
Yeah.
961
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:19,440
And you made someone lose a bet that they still haven't.
962
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,840
Oh, I do need to-
963
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:22,840
Made good on, yeah.
964
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,840
I need to do that.
965
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,800
You'll get your million dollars.
966
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,160
I made good on my bet.
967
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:32,160
You did.
968
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:33,160
You're right.
969
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,080
You also said you would do something embarrassing on the podcast.
970
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:37,080
I said on the internet.
971
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:38,080
Oh, the internet.
972
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:39,080
Oh, you said TikTok.
973
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,080
Oh, well, yeah.
974
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:42,080
Okay.
975
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:46,360
Watch out everybody for the embarrassing Jordan TikTok.
976
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:50,840
Hope you forgot.
977
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:54,080
You could do it here.
978
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,120
I will coordinate the embarrassment.
979
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:58,120
Can't wait.
980
00:50:58,120 --> 00:50:59,120
Yes.
981
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:00,120
We'll learn a dance.
982
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:01,120
It's going to be, okay.
983
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:06,600
I thought it was going to be Evelyn doing my makeup again.
984
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,120
You and Evelyn are going to do a dance.
985
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:20,160
There's an international hair freezing contest in Yukon, Canada.
986
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,400
Sounds like the right location for it.
987
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:23,400
You could do it here.
988
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:24,400
Yeah.
989
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,640
Would they just go outside with wet hair?
990
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:27,640
Right.
991
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:29,240
And then they like shape it.
992
00:51:29,240 --> 00:51:32,120
Oh, that's kind of cool.
993
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:33,120
Yeah.
994
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:34,120
Okay.
995
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:35,880
So, oh, okay.
996
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:44,040
So in the frigid province of Yukon, Canada, there's a fun wintery celebration each February.
997
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,240
Or if you're an asshole, February.
998
00:51:46,240 --> 00:51:49,560
Oh, that's, yeah, don't do that.
999
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:55,680
At the Tahkeeni hot pools, all the participants dunk their heads in the hot water of the pools
1000
00:51:55,680 --> 00:52:00,700
and then expose the wet hair to the freezing cold air above.
1001
00:52:00,700 --> 00:52:04,920
Negative 30 degrees Celsius, which is similar to negative 30 degrees Fahrenheit, just so
1002
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:05,920
y'all know.
1003
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:06,920
It is.
1004
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:07,920
Negative 40 is the same.
1005
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:08,920
Or is it 42?
1006
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:09,920
42 or 40?
1007
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:10,920
40.
1008
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:11,920
Yeah.
1009
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:12,920
It's close.
1010
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:13,920
It's close.
1011
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:14,920
It's close.
1012
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:23,520
They must create frosty hairdos by shaping their hair before it's frozen solid and then
1013
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:24,520
they vote on it.
1014
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,520
Got to vote on it.
1015
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:31,680
Kastrilla, did we, oh yeah, no, we did not do this one either yet.
1016
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:32,680
I'm sorry, you all.
1017
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:33,680
This is a lot of traditions.
1018
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:43,120
Kastrilla de Murcia in Spain has a baby jumping festival.
1019
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,320
Oh my.
1020
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:46,640
Baby jumping?
1021
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,480
I just saw the jumping festival part.
1022
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,520
I didn't see it was baby jumping.
1023
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:52,960
How are the baby, okay.
1024
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,300
Well, I have questions.
1025
00:52:55,300 --> 00:52:57,840
The babies are not jumping.
1026
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:03,360
I had a feeling they weren't doing the jumping.
1027
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,040
Like on their own accord.
1028
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:09,280
In this picture I see they're like infant babies who cannot crawl yet.
1029
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:10,280
Yep.
1030
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,440
And they're on a mattress.
1031
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:18,880
There's like four of them on each mattress and people are jumping over them.
1032
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:22,880
I will read though.
1033
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:33,320
Known locally as El Colacho, this festival takes place during the feast of Corpus Christi
1034
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,520
dating back to the 1600s.
1035
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:42,320
It's really a mass baptismal ceremony where babies born in the previous year are blessed.
1036
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:47,160
It also features men dressed in devil costumes who run down the street and jump over these
1037
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:53,920
babies who are carefully placed on pillows.
1038
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:57,600
No injuries have been reported.
1039
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:01,680
You know, of course this is something the Spaniards came up with.
1040
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,520
Like of course it is.
1041
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:09,920
Because it's hard to see.
1042
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:15,880
But like 1600s Mexico, it's Christian adjacent.
1043
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:21,280
Yeah, that was the Spaniards.
1044
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:22,760
I found some of the hair.
1045
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,000
I found a picture of the hair.
1046
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:26,520
Oh wow.
1047
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:29,560
That breezes more than I thought it would.
1048
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:30,560
Yeah.
1049
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,480
Like in the water and they do their hair.
1050
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,600
Yeah.
1051
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:37,960
I didn't realize it was that much ice.
1052
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:38,960
Yeah.
1053
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:40,400
I mean, negative 30.
1054
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:47,400
If you like hit someone after they do that in the head, their hair is going to break.
1055
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:48,400
Very well could.
1056
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,400
I'm pretty sure.
1057
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:54,040
Oh, boot tossing in Finland.
1058
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:55,200
Perfect.
1059
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:56,920
Yes.
1060
00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:02,520
No one can debate that shoes have to be worn on the feet, but the Finnish have a unique
1061
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:06,320
way of using their shoes for the sake of tradition.
1062
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,840
The title of oddest sport belongs to Finland.
1063
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:18,560
Boot tossing has been practiced for generations just like wife carrying.
1064
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:23,320
I feel like the two are different.
1065
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,160
Wife carrying.
1066
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,680
You can toss your wife, I guess.
1067
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:30,640
But carry your boot.
1068
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:35,200
Or carry your boot.
1069
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:40,360
The Merry Llyd in Wales.
1070
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:45,480
Welsh Christmas customs like Merry Llyd.
1071
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:46,480
L-W-Y-D.
1072
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:52,040
Oh, I cannot pronounce anything in Welsh.
1073
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,080
It's probably like.
1074
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:55,080
Yeah.
1075
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:56,080
Yeah, sorry.
1076
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,280
No, you're fine.
1077
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:02,240
It dates back to the first half of the 19th century.
1078
00:56:02,240 --> 00:56:08,360
A horse's skull is embellished and it then is mounted on a broomstick.
1079
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:15,120
The skull seems like the head of some scary horse because the person holding the stick
1080
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,280
is draped in a sheet.
1081
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:22,440
The horse will stop and knock on every door before moving on.
1082
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:27,600
When a door is opened, the people who have gathered around the horse start singing and
1083
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,800
requesting admittance inside of the house.
1084
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:32,840
All right.
1085
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,560
Let us in.
1086
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:40,720
Let us in.
1087
00:56:40,720 --> 00:56:44,920
That's like a wassling in the States.
1088
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:48,880
What?
1089
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:50,880
I don't know, but judging by your face.
1090
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,480
I want to do this.
1091
00:56:53,480 --> 00:57:04,480
Partita scotchi in Maristoccia, Italy.
1092
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:11,920
Chess is a game of strategy and thinking, making it quite boring to some people.
1093
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:21,680
The Northern Italian town of Maristoccia is extremely delighted to host a human chess
1094
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,720
game every two years in September.
1095
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:35,000
The custom has its roots in narrative from the 15th century, a product of a love triangle.
1096
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:40,560
It is one of the most fun traditions to partake in.
1097
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:47,320
How did a love triangle start that tradition?
1098
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,120
I was trying to think of that myself.
1099
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:51,840
What kind of love triangle is going on here?
1100
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:56,440
The two guys fought against each other in a human chess game?
1101
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,120
Maybe they were the kings.
1102
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:00,120
Maybe.
1103
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:03,160
But they have the same queen.
1104
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,200
Oh, yeah.
1105
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,200
They would have.
1106
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:09,400
Yeah, I don't understand.
1107
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:12,040
It sounds like a fun time.
1108
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:20,480
In Lithuania, midsummer day, they celebrate the warm season of summer with the day of
1109
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,320
midsummer.
1110
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:29,360
During this day, young women must only wash their cheeks with fresh dew on the morning.
1111
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:33,760
Later in the evening, people gather around a bonfire in the countryside and around the
1112
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:40,920
cities to make wishes and cast spellbags into the water to bring their desires to pass.
1113
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:48,200
Young couples also visit rural areas to look for fern blooms.
1114
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:54,440
That sounds more peaceful than the movie we watched of the same name.
1115
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,240
Well, this was midsummer, spelled with a U.
1116
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:58,240
Oh, okay.
1117
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:04,880
Oh, this is terrifying.
1118
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,920
The battle of rockets in Greece.
1119
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:09,480
The battle of rockets?
1120
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:17,880
Yeah, in a little hamlet called Rontados on the Greek island of Chios, two churches stand
1121
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:21,160
across from one another in a ravine.
1122
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:27,740
Then on Easter, opposing members try to use rockets to ring the bell of the rival church.
1123
00:59:27,740 --> 00:59:34,560
The winner is reportedly determined by counting direct hits on each bell free.
1124
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:39,720
The following day, yet each parish consistently asserts victory.
1125
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,120
They both say they win every year.
1126
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:46,000
This is scary.
1127
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:47,360
That's pretty scary.
1128
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:48,360
Yeah.
1129
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:51,840
A lot of broken windows.
1130
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:52,840
Geez.
1131
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,840
Seems fun.
1132
00:59:55,840 --> 01:00:06,240
The bathtub regatta in Belgium.
1133
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:07,920
Bathtub regatta.
1134
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,720
Water is a vital part of our existence.
1135
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,000
I would say so.
1136
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,080
That's a great opening sentence, AI.
1137
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:16,880
Thank you for that.
1138
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:21,920
I get my water from energy drinks.
1139
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:26,320
It keeps us clean, away from thirst, and sometimes even entertained.
1140
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:30,280
Away from thirst.
1141
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:38,760
The beginnings of this one kilometer long race along the River Meuse in Dinant, Belgium,
1142
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:42,280
can be traced back to 1982.
1143
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:44,840
That's actually not that long ago.
1144
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:45,840
You know what?
1145
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:48,320
That's like practically yesterday.
1146
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:55,800
The floating device's use of a bathtub is one of the requirements of succeeding against
1147
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:57,800
up to 49 other competitors.
1148
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,960
It is encouraged to decorate the bathtubs.
1149
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:06,120
Now that sounds fun.
1150
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:07,120
That does sound fun.
1151
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:08,560
I would want to watch that.
1152
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:10,440
I would want to compete.
1153
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:11,440
You can compete.
1154
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,760
I want you to leave my bathtub with me.
1155
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:15,760
Oh, come on.
1156
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:17,680
I'll sink your bathtub.
1157
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:20,600
I'll sink the bathtub first.
1158
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:22,400
The frog dance in Sweden?
1159
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,800
Do you want to frog dance?
1160
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:27,600
It looks like it's a midsummer.
1161
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:39,120
It's spelled with an O and an A. Oh, it says, don't worry if you've seen midsummer.
1162
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:42,680
The scary horror movie with a Swedish setting.
1163
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:47,920
If you decide to visit Sweden during their midsummer solstice events, there won't be
1164
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:55,480
anything similar to the pace of upbeat music players dance around a maple while hopping
1165
01:01:55,480 --> 01:02:01,640
like frogs and using motions that depict body regions that frogs lack.
1166
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:06,520
Body regions that frogs lack.
1167
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:10,840
Well, I can think of one.
1168
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:14,160
What is it?
1169
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:15,720
What do frogs lack?
1170
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:19,760
I mean, in the way of human bodies?
1171
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:23,000
Yes, they have butts.
1172
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:24,000
Belly buttons.
1173
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:27,000
Do frogs have belly buttons?
1174
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:30,040
I think they do because turtles do.
1175
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:31,040
Right.
1176
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:39,680
Well, I guess I was just thinking about human counterparts.
1177
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:43,520
Frogs have male and female?
1178
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:47,160
Yeah, I know.
1179
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:49,440
So what don't frogs have?
1180
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:50,440
Necks?
1181
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:52,440
What don't frogs have?
1182
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:54,040
Do they have?
1183
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:57,200
They don't really have necks.
1184
01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:59,080
Uh, boobs?
1185
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:00,080
Boobs?
1186
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:01,560
They don't have boobs.
1187
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:04,560
I don't think they have nipples.
1188
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:06,600
I don't.
1189
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:07,600
Frogs?
1190
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:15,240
You know, someone's done that Google search at like 2 a.m.
1191
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:16,240
Do frogs have nipples?
1192
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:20,760
They don't eat from them, so I don't know why they'd have them.
1193
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:23,360
That was, you know, that's what he had.
1194
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:25,600
That's what I was kind of thinking.
1195
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:29,000
Why do males have nipples?
1196
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,000
You know, fashion statement.
1197
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:32,720
I guess.
1198
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:35,520
I like to decorate mine.
1199
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:36,520
Yeah.
1200
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:37,840
You know, little flowers.
1201
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:41,640
What about a sausage tossing festival?
1202
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:42,640
Let's hear it.
1203
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:43,640
It's in Switzerland.
1204
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:47,680
Yeah, I figured it was going to be one of those two.
1205
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:55,920
On Shrove Tuesday at precisely 3 15 p.m.
1206
01:03:55,920 --> 01:04:05,520
A large crowd of kids and adults congregate in front of the rapper swills city hall.
1207
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:06,520
Rappers.
1208
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:10,040
Rappers wills.
1209
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:13,760
When the mayor asks, are all my guys here?
1210
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:16,640
I think this is AI.
1211
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:20,120
It's gotta be AI.
1212
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:25,120
The children yell out, one, two, goat leg.
1213
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:28,120
I can't.
1214
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:32,120
I can't even.
1215
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:41,240
I hope this is real.
1216
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:45,680
We have to go find out.
1217
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:48,680
Are my guys here?
1218
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,680
Goat leg.
1219
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,680
Goat leg.
1220
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,680
Oh my goodness.
1221
01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:01,720
What a great expression.
1222
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:04,720
Goat leg.
1223
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:07,720
Stop laughing.
1224
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:13,240
That's not a number.
1225
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:16,240
Oh, God.
1226
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:25,600
If you made it this far, I apologize.
1227
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:39,120
Okay, you say it loudly and clearly though.
1228
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:42,920
I hope they're not muttering it.
1229
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,920
Oh my God.
1230
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:48,920
I'm like crying.
1231
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:50,920
I know.
1232
01:05:50,920 --> 01:06:00,400
I just don't know if this is AI or if they actually say this.
1233
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:01,400
Oh my God.
1234
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:05,280
We should have AI just generate a script for you to read.
1235
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:06,280
Oh my God.
1236
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:07,760
That would be amazing.
1237
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:16,360
I actually, there's somebody that I follow that they'll type something up or they'll,
1238
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:22,080
oh no, they'll have like someone write them in like a letter or whatever.
1239
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:26,840
And then they'll translate it to another language back to English, then to another language
1240
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:33,400
and back to English and then read it.
1241
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:34,400
Oh my goodness.
1242
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:42,480
The mayor and council members then throw sausages, loaves of bread and pastries into the throng
1243
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:49,840
after open windows.
1244
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:52,840
One two gut leg.
1245
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:55,840
We're hungry.
1246
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:59,800
Okay, I have to look up if that's actually what they say.
1247
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:02,800
One two gut leg.
1248
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:06,480
I hope so.
1249
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:08,040
I really do.
1250
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:14,240
I need it to be true.
1251
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:15,240
One two gut leg.
1252
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:18,240
Okay, so to Wikipedia.
1253
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:23,680
And then you just throw your sausages and bread and pastries.
1254
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:28,360
Oh, they do.
1255
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:35,480
So council member asks, Sind Ali Mini Buebe, you are all my boys here?
1256
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:38,400
And the answer is given.
1257
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:41,200
Juh, iz, zwe, ge, sebe.
1258
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:48,280
One yes, one two, goat leg.
1259
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:51,520
And then they throw sausages at them through their window.
1260
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:57,840
Sausages at the boys?
1261
01:07:57,840 --> 01:07:58,840
So it is real.
1262
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:00,320
It's a real thing.
1263
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,840
Oh, gosh, I think.
1264
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:07,520
Of course, it's the French, like it's in the French part of Switzerland.
1265
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:10,360
Oh my goodness gracious.
1266
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:13,360
One two, gut leg.
1267
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:16,480
Gut leg.
1268
01:08:16,480 --> 01:08:18,360
I think we found all of them.
1269
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:19,360
Wait, what's this one?
1270
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:21,800
Oh, that's orange, we already did that one.
1271
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:23,920
Oh, the dead people.
1272
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:27,360
Oh, here's one.
1273
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:32,400
One of the strangest customs in Europe is practiced by the Romanians, which is not surprising.
1274
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:34,400
They are very impressive.
1275
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:40,760
A young guy swims in the icy river while a hundred or more spectators watch an Orthodox
1276
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:44,400
priest toss a cross into the water.
1277
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:48,600
It probably helps that everyone drinks homemade vodka before the occasion.
1278
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:55,240
If you can return the cross to safety, you will experience luck for a full year.
1279
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,960
Wow.
1280
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:04,200
Jump into the ice cold river, grab whoever gets the cross and brings it back to the shore,
1281
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:07,460
we'll get luck for the year.
1282
01:09:07,460 --> 01:09:11,200
You know, I'm broken now.
1283
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:13,600
I am broken after one two, goat leg.
1284
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:14,600
I know.
1285
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:17,200
Nothing will top that.
1286
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:20,680
I love that the presidential turkey pardon is also on here.
1287
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:22,960
Yeah, I mean, it is weird.
1288
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:25,960
It's very weird.
1289
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:33,920
The inhabitants of the southern French city of, oh, God, don't make me.
1290
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:40,880
I was going to say, just don't pronounce any of the consonants like at the end of the
1291
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:41,880
words.
1292
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:44,360
You'll probably get it.
1293
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:46,800
Have a unique tradition to welcome spring.
1294
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:51,960
There's a lot of eggs with spring and we pretend it's Christian.
1295
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:58,880
One day after Easter festival, they prepare a massive omelet composed of more than 4500
1296
01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:01,720
eggs that can feed up to 1000 people.
1297
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:07,520
She needs central plaza existing since Napoleon's time.
1298
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:12,200
According to legend, Napoleon did the most to make this festival come to reality by
1299
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:17,400
ordering a large omelet to be made.
1300
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:21,320
How do you cook an omelet that big?
1301
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:24,960
I want to see the gigantic omelet.
1302
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:29,000
Okay, it's called omelet.
1303
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:30,840
Omelet.
1304
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:35,720
Assuming giant omelet.
1305
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:37,320
Yeah.
1306
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:40,000
Oh, Jesus.
1307
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:43,320
It's huge.
1308
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:45,360
How?
1309
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:50,320
Oh, they cook it there in the square.
1310
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:54,600
Oh, like they have a makeshift.
1311
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:55,600
They're cooking.
1312
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:56,600
Yes.
1313
01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:57,600
Okay.
1314
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:00,600
Oh, okay.
1315
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:02,400
Yeah.
1316
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:09,360
That's a large omelet.
1317
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:10,360
That is a large.
1318
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:14,120
There's a lot of people making it.
1319
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:17,680
And they have big chef hats.
1320
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:19,920
Those hats were comically large.
1321
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:37,200
Norwegian high school students regularly observe Russaferi.
1322
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:39,320
Russaferi?
1323
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:41,280
Russaferi?
1324
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:49,840
During the last spring semester participants in this celebration drive similar cars, vans,
1325
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:57,520
and buses where colored overalls often red and a part and party nonstop for two weeks.
1326
01:11:57,520 --> 01:11:58,520
Authorities.
1327
01:11:58,520 --> 01:11:59,520
Oh, God.
1328
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:03,640
Prepare themselves every year for ongoing public intoxication and unrest during this
1329
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:04,640
holiday.
1330
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:07,640
What's it called again?
1331
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:08,640
Russaferi.
1332
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:13,040
It almost sounds like the Amish Rumspringa.
1333
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:14,440
Yeah, Rumspringa.
1334
01:12:14,440 --> 01:12:15,440
Yep.
1335
01:12:15,440 --> 01:12:18,680
That's what it sounds like.
1336
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,400
During break for their senior year.
1337
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:22,400
Yeah.
1338
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:26,400
Oh, North Carolina has one in here.
1339
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:28,400
Oh, okay.
1340
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:37,440
The National Hollerin Contest.
1341
01:12:37,440 --> 01:12:42,360
Hollerin is not a forgotten art in our society.
1342
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:47,240
I love the AI writing in this.
1343
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:50,840
So much.
1344
01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:51,840
Especially in the USA.
1345
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:58,280
Hollerin was a highly developed method of communication over great distances that was
1346
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:04,400
particularly well liked in American Southeast.
1347
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:08,000
It's particularly well liked in the South East.
1348
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:12,640
It is a combination between a yodel and a hunting cry.
1349
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:14,760
Okay.
1350
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:18,120
I want to look up this contest and see what it sounds like.
1351
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:25,480
The National Hollerin Contest was established in 1969 in Spivey Corner, North Carolina to
1352
01:13:25,480 --> 01:13:27,920
carry on this fun custom.
1353
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:29,960
And it has continued every year since.
1354
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:34,000
I'm going to look this up and play it for you all.
1355
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:35,000
Spivey County.
1356
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:36,000
Spivey.
1357
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:39,000
And I'm probably saying that wrong.
1358
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:42,000
I'm like, it's Spivey.
1359
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:43,000
Spivey.
1360
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:44,000
Okay.
1361
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:45,000
And this is what I'm going to be doing today.
1362
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:46,000
My name is Leonard DeMagnos.
1363
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:49,880
I was born right here, right over there, on the fork in that tree, in a log cabin.
1364
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:52,880
I'm going to do you a couple hollers.
1365
01:13:52,880 --> 01:14:09,480
I'd like to pay homage to the late Mr. Leonard DeMagnos who I found out three c years ago
1366
01:14:09,480 --> 01:14:11,860
as a relative.
1367
01:14:11,860 --> 01:14:21,860
It sounds like the ladies in Midsummer.
1368
01:14:21,860 --> 01:14:22,860
Yes!
1369
01:14:22,860 --> 01:14:26,860
Oh, it's gonna save the place.
1370
01:14:26,860 --> 01:14:27,860
Spivey?
1371
01:14:27,860 --> 01:14:28,860
Exactly.
1372
01:14:28,860 --> 01:14:29,860
I figured it was Spivey.
1373
01:14:29,860 --> 01:14:30,860
I said it right.
1374
01:14:30,860 --> 01:14:42,860
You said it right!
1375
01:14:42,860 --> 01:14:44,860
That was some good...
1376
01:14:44,860 --> 01:14:54,860
That's how you call for your kids at night.
1377
01:14:54,860 --> 01:15:00,860
I like that the AI article, like the beginning of it, how it's...
1378
01:15:00,860 --> 01:15:02,860
Just people do that all around the world still.
1379
01:15:02,860 --> 01:15:04,860
It's just in the southeast.
1380
01:15:04,860 --> 01:15:05,860
And you know what?
1381
01:15:05,860 --> 01:15:09,860
Now that we have cell phones, it's still not a lost art of the hollering.
1382
01:15:09,860 --> 01:15:10,860
That's right.
1383
01:15:10,860 --> 01:15:13,860
With a no-G at the end.
1384
01:15:13,860 --> 01:15:15,860
No-G. Absolutely not.
1385
01:15:15,860 --> 01:15:23,860
What an apostrophe.
1386
01:15:23,860 --> 01:15:24,860
Oh, God.
1387
01:15:24,860 --> 01:15:25,860
Okay.
1388
01:15:25,860 --> 01:15:28,860
I think this has been a long enough episode.
1389
01:15:28,860 --> 01:15:29,860
What do you think?
1390
01:15:29,860 --> 01:15:31,860
I think so.
1391
01:15:31,860 --> 01:15:38,860
I'm going to eat my food and then we can record our next episode.
1392
01:15:38,860 --> 01:15:40,860
What food are you gonna eat?
1393
01:15:40,860 --> 01:15:43,860
Gluten-free chicken nuggets.
1394
01:15:43,860 --> 01:15:45,860
Oh, dino nuggies.
1395
01:15:45,860 --> 01:15:47,860
Dinos.
1396
01:15:47,860 --> 01:15:51,860
With honey mustards.
1397
01:15:51,860 --> 01:15:53,860
Oh, good choice.
1398
01:15:53,860 --> 01:15:58,860
But yes, we will do some more weird things in the future, but that was fun.
1399
01:15:58,860 --> 01:16:00,860
Especially the goat legs.
1400
01:16:00,860 --> 01:16:03,860
I was gonna say, don't forget.
1401
01:16:03,860 --> 01:16:05,860
Don't forget the goat legs.
1402
01:16:05,860 --> 01:16:07,860
One, two, goat leg!
1403
01:16:07,860 --> 01:16:15,860
Our next episode we're recording is going to be the beasts of the back rooms.
1404
01:16:15,860 --> 01:16:21,860
Doody doodoo.
