1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,360
Speaker 1: Do you know we just finished up one of the

2
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: biggest annual celebrations in our country and it wasn't even

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: on my radar, but Marty Gras already happened.

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I had beads for everybody. Not one of

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 2: you took their pants off.

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's the holiday where people will do almost

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: anything to get some cheap, colorful beads. Yeah. I don't

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: know about with Brooks beads though.

9
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: It's a different story talking about.

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: Brook. That celebration's over. Yeah, days over, So let's bring

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: it back down. It's Brook and Jeffary in the morning

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: later in the week. No, I brow day. I bring

13
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: it up now because there's some other, possibly even better

14
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: world celebrations that you can still go to, Like in

15
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: England they do the International Worm Charming Festival.

16
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 2: Jeff I told you I would have given you beads

17
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: for this.

18
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: No, that's not it's not an euphemism Brook. It's where

19
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: people travel to the small British town of black Autin

20
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: you get thirty minutes to draw as many worms out

21
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: of the ground as possible.

22
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: You say this was better than you can.

23
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: Use any method that you like to get those wormis

24
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: out is their options. The most popular technique that they

25
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: do is people will play music to lure the worms

26
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: up out of the ground.

27
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: Nowadays want to.

28
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: Maybe a little jay z brush that dirt off your shoulder.

29
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: I like that.

30
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: I know all about that bar. But the other people

31
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: they like to dress up as a giant worm and

32
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: they'll just sing kind of like a pied piper. Follow

33
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: the worm kings of that moment too, probably and giant.

34
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's not imagining.

35
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 1: And yeah, Halloween Costa, she came straight from the worm

36
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: charming festival. We don't know that she did this.

37
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: Where she got her inspiration or you can just.

38
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: You could just use a rake and scrape the ground.

39
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: Kind of lame, just gets lucky. But in the end,

40
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: the person with the most worms is crowned worm king

41
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: or queen.

42
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: A pile. My kids do to love getting piles of worms.

43
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: And one worm doesn't gross me out, but a pile

44
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: of them, as they're all so much.

45
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: Then there's another one. If worms aren't your jam. It

46
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: happens in Spain called El Colacho, otherwise known as the

47
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: baby Jumping Festival.

48
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: What little babies jumping around.

49
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: And the babies aren't jumping this is a century's old

50
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: tradition that's still going on today where people put a

51
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: bunch of actual babies on mattresses and they lie them

52
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: down in the street.

53
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: This is so dangerous.

54
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, well hold on, Will it make you feel better

55
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: to know the men are inebriated while they jump over them.

56
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: Jump Someone is laying their baby down and letting a

57
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: drug guide jump over the top of it. Well, there's

58
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: a reason for it, Brook, It's supposed to cleanse the

59
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: babies of all their evil spirits and bring them good health.

60
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 2: That is not what's going to happen if things go.

61
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: Wrong, Brook, If you haven't been lying your children down

62
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: in the street and letting drunk people leap over them,

63
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: they have the evil spirits in them. So sorry, is.

64
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: It too late? Can I lay my eight year old

65
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 2: down and just see what happened?

66
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: Why don't you give it a shot, report back how

67
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: it goes. Surprisingly, in the years and years that they've

68
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: done this, because this is centuries old, there's been no

69
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: reported mishaps. See wow, And I really hope I didn't

70
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: jinx it just by saying, yeah, anything that happens this year,

71
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: it's not my fault.

72
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: Oh, baby's gonna sprain an ankle or something. Oh my god.

73
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: Now we're talking about some of the wildest and weirdest

74
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: festivals that happen around the world. If those aren't your

75
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: cup of tea, you can always head over to a

76
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: different Spanish village called Pulasa, where you can participate in

77
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: puck Fair aka the annual goat hurling Festival. Before you judge,

78
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: just hear the whole thing. Babies for you judge. Listen

79
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: to the whole thing.

80
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: There are so many people sory you judge if you

81
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: hand to be a picture and now I'm commenting on it.

82
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: Okay, the picture is impressive, I will say that, but

83
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: it's one goat held by a giant group of men.

84
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: They all climb a fifty foot tower together.

85
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: That explains the tower. I didn't zoom it on the photo.

86
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: And then once they're at the top of the tower,

87
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: they toss the goat off into the air. What end quote?

88
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: Watch it fly down to the crowd below.

89
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: Do they catch it?

90
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: Okay? And then the villagers are there at the bottom

91
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: waiting for the goat, holding a giant bed sheet in

92
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: an effort to catch the animal. If they do catch it,

93
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: the goat gets paraded around the village in a giant

94
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: celebration that's meant as a symbol of good fortune for all.

95
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: I don't know until if they don't catch it well dinner, yea.

96
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 2: I guess it's a good thing. There's a lot of

97
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: people in the photo and opera.

98
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: Exist that's definitely not a thing. It remains one of

99
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: the most popular festivals in Europe to this day.

100
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: Wow, goat toss okay, I meant so many people. You

101
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: say you do that in the South and you get

102
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: judged for it, but it's very classy.

103
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm hearing a lot of pushbacks. So if you're not

104
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: into jumping over live babies or tossing goats off of buildings,

105
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: you can always head over to Japan for the Hadaka Matsui.

106
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: I want to go to Japan for anything, and that

107
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: translates to the naked festival, but it's just for guys.

108
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: Oh wait, come.

109
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 2: On, does it translate the sausage festival?

110
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: Not just naked nude men wearing only loin cloths And

111
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: most of the time those just fly right off because

112
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: they're running around the city like a scavenger hunt looking

113
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: to find sacred sticks for good luck. Summer. Why do

114
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: I think this was just one woman's idea to get

115
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: rid of, like an annoying boyfriend, Go find some sticks,

116
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: take your pants out, Jose To answer your question, bad news.

117
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: It happens in the cold winter.

118
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the sticks are more impressive.

119
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: Exactly everything on the surface. It makes it sound not

120
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: very religious. But they do have priests throwing the sacred sticks.

121
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: So does that help? I don't think so.

122
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 2: I don't think i'm invited, so I'm gonna keep my

123
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: my opinions.

124
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: I know a fake stick under there. I won't tell

125
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: you about it. I'm okay, And you know what, I

126
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: might have to check this one out. Guys. It says

127
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: at some point there's chaotic scrambling where it's man on

128
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: man on man just grabbing sacred sticks. So I think

129
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to do some reconnaissance just to make

130
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: sure this is real.

131
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: Well, sir, that's I mean, that's not a stick. With

132
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: all your experience in a frat house, I think you're

133
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 2: gonna win. I don't know if you can win this.

134
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:34,920
