8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: That's a better couple to aspire too. I mean some way,

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: so I think in some ways right, comedically maybe not

10
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: murderously right, maybe not dietaryly right. Um, let's see what

11
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: are what would we call that? It would you have

12
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: to be like folk? What the folk? What the folk?

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: That's it? Eli and Diana? What the folk? That's it?

14
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: That's brilliant folk folk tunes? We don't have a good time.

15
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, we don't have to go too far

16
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: with it. I think Eli and Diana what the folk?

17
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: That's our that's our little positive like more than one

18

Speaker 1: hundred percent that there's already what the folk album out there?

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: Who cares? There's probably ten. I'm positive on this record's

00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm Eli. I'm Diana. Welcome to the show. If he

27
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: didn't know that already, sorry, Yeah for everything you just heard.

28
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: What the folk? Who the folk? Are? These idiots? Well

29
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: kind of show is this? We don't know. We're still

30
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: figuring it out, is true? That was actually a good

31
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: segue though, because we're talking about folk tales today, we

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: are talking about folk You here is very deliberate. That's right.

33
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: Dago Bay Day footie sheet everyone, which is Romanian for

34
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: happy dragobeat, dragon beat, dragobat day, Happy drab Dragobte. I

35
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: love it. Look whenever you're listening to this, it's probably

36
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: around February twenty fourth, which is the traditional Romanian holiday Dragobete,

37
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: the holiday for love. So with this popped up on

38
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: the national holiday calendar that I sometimes check, and it

39
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: sent me on a whole search for other love holidays

40
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: around the world. And you know, we've touched on a

41
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: few of those in episodes in the past, I think,

42
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: but the ones we found today and the folk tales

43
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: surrounding them just suddenly just became their own episode in

44
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: their own right right. Some of these are the most

45
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: ridiculous and certainly some of the most phallic holidays on

46
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: the globe. So today we're gonna learn about Dragobette and

47
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: the folk tale that inspired it. And then we're gonna

48
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: learn about Japan's Kanamara Matsuri and not just the mythology

49
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: that inspired that holiday, but the larger, very romantic mythology

50
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: of gods and goddesses and the creation of the world

51
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: that led to that holiday as well. So I say

52
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: we jump in all these these bon er festivals. Let's

53
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: go to the bone though, Hey their French, come listen. Well,

54
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: Elia and Diana got some stories to tell. There's no

55
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: matchmaking or romantic tips. It's just about ridiculous relationships. A

56
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: lover might be any type of person at all, an

57
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: abstract concert, a concrete wall. But if there's a story

58
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: where the second clans, we show ridiculous romance, a production

59
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: of iHeartRadio. All right, So drago Bette, this is named

60
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: for the Romanian patron saint of love and cheerfulness, and

61
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: he's sort of like a non god parallel to Cupid

62
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: or arrows if you're more familiar with you know, Greek

63
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: and Roman mythology. But as Rolandia dot Eu tells us,

64
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: he was unlike those two and that he didn't like

65
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 1: pop up in your life and intervene in your romantic situation.

66
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: He didn't. He didn't like shoot love arrows at you

67
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: and make you fall in love with someone you didn't like.

68
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: He's not swinging around the dust of broken hearts, nothing

69
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: like that, none of that creepy stuff. But does he

70
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: wear a diaper? That's the real question. He's very old,

71
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: so by this point maybe human life truly can be

72
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: a circle. True. In fact, Dragobette only used his powers

73
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: quote to always remind people to never stop celebrating love.

74
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: She's a very unproblematic Cupid. I really like this message

75
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: he's got. Yeah, yeah, it seems wholesome. Yeah, definitely. Well.

76
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: Dragobette's mother was Baba Dokia, an old woman who is

77
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: associated with the arrival of spring in Romanian mythology. So

78
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: she has a bunch of sheep and every year when

79
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: spring comes, she walks them up to the Pucigi Mountains

80
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: to grades. And that's how you know it's springtime. Oh yeah,

81
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: old ladies walking up the mountain must be time to

82
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: plant the crops. Yeah. So the story goes that Dragabette

83
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: met a girl and they fell in love so hard

84
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: with each other that they got married on the spot.

85
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: She didn't want any long engagement, right, or any engagement

86
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: at all. Skip that part. Will you marry me? I

87
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: don't know how much time you got. So after their

88
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: little speed wedding, they went and told Boba Dookia, who

89
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: was furious. Oh no, which I mean, if your own

90
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: mother is not invited to your wedding unless she sucks,

91
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: I think she would probably be mad about that. So

92
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: Boba Dookia had you know, she's got her bunch of

93
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: sheep right, So she sheered off some black wool and

94
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: she told her new daughter in law, Okay, fine, you

95
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: want to be in my family. It's a sheep family.

96
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: You gotta go wash this bowl until it turns white

97
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: or so help me, I'm gonna shear your hair and

98
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: wash it till it changes color. Oh no, she said,

99
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: would you come back until it's done. I I just

100
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: thought I needed that. Well this girl, she's like, all right, okay,

101
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: I can prove something to my mother in law. Very

102
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: it's given me like Princess and the pea vibes right,

103
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: give me an impossible task. I got it. I got it.

104
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: So she goes to the river. Now keep in mind

105
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: it is February in Romania. The water is freezing, and

106
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: she takes this black wall and she starts scrubbing it

107
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: in the water. But it just won't change color because

108
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: it's not black because it's dirty. It's black because the

109
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: sheep was water exactly. It's not gunning. So her hands

110
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: are like bleeding. After a while, she's scrubbing so hard,

111
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: and then suddenly this mysterious man shows up out of

112
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: the forest and he says, hey, girl, I hate to

113
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: see a struggle bus there. You know I'm gonna help

114
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: you out. Here is a magic red flower. You put

115
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: that in the water and your wold will turn white.

116
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: She's like, look, I know to trust a matt stranger

117
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: in the forest when I eat one, So sure, especially

118
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: when he has a very white kind of voice. So

119
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: she takes him up on this offer. She puts the

120
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: flower in the water and loan the whole bang bang boom.

121
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: He was right, it turns white. Also, I'll pause here

122
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: to say that in the original mythology, from what I

123
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: could find, this guy was also like a representative of

124
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: the coming of spring. He was like a personification in

125
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: that pathology. But as the myth was christianized later on,

126
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: that guy was suddenly Jesus. In later versions of the story,

127
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: they're just like, let's just recast him as Jesus and

128
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: good to go. Yeah, magic flowers. Sure, that sounds like

129
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: something Jesus would do. That's so I love. Sometimes it's

130
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: so obvious. They're so lazy. You know, we need to

131
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: assimilate these people into our own cultures. So I don't know,

132
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: take that old folk tale and make Jesus one of

133
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: the characters out of nowhere, and that'll do it. One

134
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: of my favorites was Study Abroad. Alert On my study

135
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: Abroad when I went to Italy, you haven't heard. We

136
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: were walking around Rome and they're you know, they're they're

137
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: giving us the tour. They're telling us about everything. And

138
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: you see in the middle of this square an obelisk

139
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: that they had taken from Egypt the Romans, right, and

140
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: they didn't know what it meant. They just wanted it,

141
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: and they brought it back to Rome and they stuck

142
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: it in the middle of the square. They put all

143
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: their pagan gods around it, and they were like, now

144
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: it's ours. Now it's a Roman religious artifact. And then

145
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: hundreds of years later, when the Christians converted everything, they

146
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: just put a big brass cross on top of it.

147
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: So you've got this Egyptian obelisk that's like meant for

148
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: Egyptian religion, and then it's surrounded with Roman pagan gods,

149
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: and then it's got a Christian cross on top, and

150
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: it's just the most ridiculously I love it. And Okay,

151
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: So the girl has her white wool and she goes

152
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: running back out of the forest and to find Boba Dookia.

153
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: She's like, hey, mom, check it. Thanks, I got your

154
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: white wall here. So glad to be part of the family. Yes,

155
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: And Bobadokia, of course is furious because she set this

156
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: whole thing up to not work deliberately. But before she

157
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: can even start yelling at the girl, she notices the

158
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: red flower that the mysterious man had given her and

159
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: it's pinned to her shirt. She sees this flowers. She's like,

160
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's spring. The flowers are blooming out. Shit,

161
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: I'm late. I gotta get my sheep up this mountain.

162
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: And she gets twelve coats and all her sheep and

163
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: she starts hiking up the mountain. And as she goes up,

164
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: it's getting warmer and warmer. She takes one coat off

165
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: every day. But when she gets the top, she realizes

166
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: it's actually not spring yet. She jumped the gun and

167
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: an icy wind comes through and it freezes Boba Dookia

168
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: and all of her sheep all. And there's these rock

169
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: formations in the Bouchese mountains now that you can go

170
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: up and see. And they say that's Boba Dookia and

171
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: her sheep. Man kind of a drive by on the sheep. Yeah,

172
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: do not feel like they didn't do anything. Boba Dookia. Sure,

173
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: her pride got the best of her. Yea sheep coming there. Yeah,

174
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: the sheep or just innocent bystanders, innocent bostanders. I'm so

175
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: glad you're here. That's his partnership work. That's the only

176
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: joke I have is converting b words to bob for

177
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: sheep also works for goats, very appropriate for this particular story.

178
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: It might be weird later, but no, this is the

179
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: peak of comedy for me. It's as good as it gets.

180
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: And Eli banks world, he say, we can all do it. Okay.

181
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: So that's the story of Barbadochia and her sheep. And

182
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: so the traditional celebration of Dragobette would be in late February,

183
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: and it's just full of parties, and often people would

184
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: schedule their marriages of course, you know, romantic time. Sure,

185
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: during the festival, young men and women would wander in

186
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: the forest together and the men would go searching for

187
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: strap ry flowers which they would use to make these

188
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: little bouquets, and they would dip them into a river

189
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: for luck. Oh, just like the girl had the red

190
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: flower from Jesus or whatever. Yeah, And then at noon,

191
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: all the women go running back into the village and

192
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: the men are go, you know, they go running after

193
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: the women that they like. And if he caught her

194
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: and she liked him back, she would kiss him publicly.

195
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: And in old traditions this was like an engagement announcement,

196
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: because you don't kiss anybody you're not tending to take

197
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: right to bed right, And much like Drago Bette and

198
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: his girlfriend, they're like, hey, I like you, you like me, Well,

199
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: let's get married as quick as possible. Let's just do

200
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: the damn thing. Probably because they couldn't have sex until

201
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: they did, Okay, they were like, let's just get this done.

202
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: And then at night all the men and women would

203
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: hike over the hills outside of town. They would make bonfires,

204
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: and they would sit around and talk until morning. Oh,

205
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: which is still very wholesome. Yeah, it sounds so nice.

206
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta wonder what's really happen out there.

207
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: A little necking there has to be a little bit.

208
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 1: I mean it could be a full on orgy. I

209
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: don't know how things are over in Romania. Like, actually

210
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: you just remove your clothes, like Baba Daria, did you

211
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: just take one item off? It just turns it a

212
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: stripped for us burning man. Basically all right, any any

213
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: Romanian person out there that wants to correct us, yes,

214
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: please please, yes, if you have participated in dragobette, I

215
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: would love to hear it. The dragobette now is kind

216
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: of lumped together with Valentine's day, but it makes February

217
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: sort of like, you know, a love month in Romania.

218
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: But unlike Valentine's Day, Dragobette is a little more focused

219
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: on the connection. Right. They say, it's not really as

220
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: much about giving roses and chocolates and love notes and

221
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: stuff like that. It's about that emotional aspect. It's about

222
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: respect and appreciating and spending time with your partner. Right. Um.

223
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: They also say it's it's not just for couples, it's

224
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: for single people as well to sort of look for

225
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: love or dream of love. Although single people are not

226
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 1: supposed to cry or complain on dragon Bette. If they

227
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: do turn into a grouch, they will be cursed with

228
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: trouble and sorrow for months. Oh so that at the

229
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: same time a little harsh to the single people out there. Okay,

230
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: They're like, it's for you too, but like, don't bitch

231
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: and mommee, you don't have nobody to kiss and the chest.

232
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: Well your single think of all the potential you have

233
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: in your romantic life. They're like, oh cool, Yeah. Well,

234
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: it's also a tradition for women to use springtime snow

235
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: to wash their faces, which is supposed to make their

236
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: skin look pure and beautiful. Makes sense, depends on the snow.

237
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: I think perhaps the yellow smell. Yeah, don't use the

238
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: yellow snow. I don't think you'll get the results too.

239
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: Looking for um And at night, older women bake salty

240
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: bread for the young women to eat, and then the

241
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: young ladies would place basil under their pillow and dream

242
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: of their future husband coming to them water because they're

243
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,599
Speaker 1: so thirsty from eating the bread. If I eat a

244
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: bunch of salty, salty bread before I go to sleep,

245
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna wake up with heart palpitations. Well, just say,

246
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: young men and women, wow, roasted roasted like bread. Sorry, babe,

247
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: love you Okay, really you're younger than men. This is

248
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: not dragobette behavior. I'm when it cursed with sorrow for minutes. Um. Also,

249
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: according to Rulandia dot Eu on dragobette quote, men should

250
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: not annoy women otherwise their love life might fall apart.

251
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: Oh no, the one day out of the year. But

252
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: this sounds like a really fun day because you're also

253
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: not supposed to work or get sucked into chorch. Yeah,

254
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: this is just a day to love and be loved

255
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: or dream of love or I guess you have to

256
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: bake some bread. Yeah, a little bread baking. That's not it.

257
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: Maybe you bake that the day before so you second

258
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: of it that day. But there is one thing that

259
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: you can't not do on Dragobette. It's a very important

260
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: Listen up, everybody, do not sacrifice any animals. Oh damn.

261
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: I know you wanted to. Oh no, had a knife

262
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: to the throat of a totally innocent lamb. But it

263
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: can totally mess up your love game if you do

264
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: this on dragon Beette. So save it for the next day.

265
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: I guess, don't kill me. It's bad luck. There he goes.

266
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: All right. Well, all in all, Dragobette, very sweet holiday.

267
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: I think we could all have a lot of fun celebrating.

268
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: I would like to take partner on little dragon Beette here. Yeah,

269
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: although probably by the time you're listening to this, we

270
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: just missed it, everybody, So I guess we'll have to

271
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: wait till next year to celebrate our respective romances. But

272
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: I do have one big problem with this particular love fest.

273
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: There's not enough Wieners. I know you love wiener now,

274
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: you know. If there's a holiday, I want it to

275
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: be dick centric. Dick centric so to fix that, we

276
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: are going to zip over from Romania to Japan to

277
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: join them for Kanamara Matsuri, which is the Japanese Penis Festival,

278
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: and this happens every year on the first Sunday in

279
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: April in Kawasaki, Japan, which is April second this year. Everybody,

280
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: we got a few weeks, we can make it. We

281
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: can make it. A hundred thousand people show up and

282
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: take the city streets as sixty percent of which by

283
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: now apparently our tourists, and for a whole day, the

284
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: whole city is just full of fallusis Obviously we can

285
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: get into our giggles about this. There's a lot to

286
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: laugh about. Its parade of penises, taken at face value,

287
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: is pretty silly. I don't want to take it to

288
00:16:50,960 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: my face noted, Yes, countless blogs and podcasting videos across

289
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: the internet for the last ten years or so have

290
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: definitely exaggerated the comical aspect of this festival. But it's

291
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,719
Speaker 1: not just dick Day for no reason. There's actually a

292
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: lot of cultural history to it. It gets a little

293
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: overlooked these days, probably, you know, because people are distracted

294
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: by the giant dicks. I mean, you can see why, yeah,

295
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: but no. The whole festival is centered around the Kana

296
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: Yama Shrine in Kawasaki, which is dedicated to the gods

297
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: of mining, blacksmithing, and metal works. And those god's names

298
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: are Kana Yamahiko and Kana Yamahime and like, traditionally this

299
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: shrine was a place for sex workers to pray for

300
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: protection from STDs. Now. I don't know about you, but

301
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: the first time I heard that, I was like, Hm,

302
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: why does a blacksmith have anything to do with an STD?

303
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: I feel like as a blacksmith, I'd be like, why

304
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 1: are you associating me wards or whatever? All right, But

305
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: the legend behind the reason for this coordination, I guess,

306
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: brings us to this episode's next legendary are romance that

307
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: inspired a modern sex festival, That of the goddess is

308
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: an Ami and the god is an age, and that

309
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: is going to take us way away back in time

310
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: to the year. Well, actually there's not any year. We're

311
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: talking about the beginning of time here, free time. But

312
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: our time machine, of course, runs on the quantum power

313
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: of ads. So y'all help us out by listening, just

314
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: to keep those who we travel back to the DNA creation.

315
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: See there. Welcome back to the great void of nothingness.

316
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: Here in the beginning, there was only chaos, just a limitless, formless,

317
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: shapeless ether. And this whole story comes from the Kojiki,

318
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: which is Japan's oldest mythological chronicle, compiled in the year

319
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: seven twelve by Ono Yasumorrow, and then it was written

320
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: into a book by Genji Shibukawa in nineteen twenty eight. So,

321
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: out of this infinite nothingness, three deities erupted from the

322
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: void to create the heavens, and then over millions of years,

323
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 1: the plane of heaven looked down upon this sort of

324
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: mushy cloud of gunk that would one day be planet Earth.

325
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: But at this point, Shibikawa writes, quote, the Earth may

326
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: be said to have resembled oil floating upon the face

327
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: of the waters. So other gods were born at this

328
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: time or created by these three deities. But while the

329
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: world was this just kind of loose and bubbly mess,

330
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: there really wasn't anything for them to do. So the

331
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: three creating deities summoned two additional divine beings. The goddess

332
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: is an Ami and the god is a Nagi, and

333
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: they told those two, Hey, you two have got to

334
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: get down there and turn that dusty mess into a planet.

335
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: All right, we need a world to be gods of.

336
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: So they gave the couple this fancy spear covered in

337
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: jewels and it said, off you go, good luck. Not

338
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: a lot of instruction on how to create a planet. Okay,

339
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: I guess we'll just figure it out. So's anami and

340
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: is an age like? Okay, I guess to take the

341
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: spear and head home. Down there figured out, and they

342
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: crossed the bridge that took them to the sloppy soup

343
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: that was the Earth, and they just kind of stared

344
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: at it for a minute, and he's an Aggie's like, well,

345
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: maybe I can stir up this mess with the spear

346
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: and that'll do something. I gotta have this thing for

347
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: a reason, right, And so he dips it into the goo,

348
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: and when he pulled it up, a big drip fell

349
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: from the skier and splashed down to create Onogoro Island,

350
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: which is the first solid land on Earth. And the

351
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: couple looked at each other's surprise, delighted. They decided this

352
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: is going to be their little starter home. But they decided,

353
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: you know, if we're going to move in together. We

354
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: need to get married. I gotta put a ring on it.

355
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: He's an aggie, right, yeah, traditional We can't just be

356
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: living in sin, I know, even though there's no one

357
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: here to judge, right, So is Anami is an aggie.

358
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: They built a pillar on the center of the island,

359
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: and it was called the Ame no Mihashira, or the

360
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: Pillar of Heaven, and then they built a big palace

361
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: around it. It's gonna be there at their home, their

362
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: base of operations. While they crafted the world, Isnagi, the

363
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: male god, walked around this pillar to the left, while Isunami,

364
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: the goddess, walked around to the right. And when they

365
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: met on the other side, Isnami said, how delightful it

366
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: is to meet so handsome a youth, and Isnagi said back,

367
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: how delighted I am to have fallen in love with

368
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,239
Speaker 1: such a lovely maiden. And that was the ritual. They

369
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: were married, and they had two children. But both of

370
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: these children were like oddly deformed, and they weren't considered deities.

371
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: So they did what any loving parents would do. They

372
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: put them on a boat and they sent them out

373
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: to see there's literally nothing out there. Yeah, right, we

374
00:21:54,320 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: haven't created it yet. Bad luck. Well, so then they

375
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 1: decide to go to their their mommy and daddy gods

376
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: and say, hey, what's the deal, why can't we have babies?

377
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: We got married to everything? Well, the creator gods said

378
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: something we've heard across many religions. It's the woman's fault.

379
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: They said, you, hey, you remember that pillar marriage you

380
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: all did. Yeah, after you crossed both sides of the pillar,

381
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: is Unami spoke first, and women shouldn't speak first, so

382
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: that didn't count. You're not married. Actually, that's why your

383
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: babies are all weird. So many problems with that. I

384
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: would say, these three gods are canceled God. Let's check

385
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: out our next podcast, Canceled Gods. What the folk are

386
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: we talking about? What the from the people who brought you?

387
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: What the folk? It's canceled gods? All right, well, is

388
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: Nabi is Nagi? They're like, all right, fine, well redo

389
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: the ceremony? Is that good? And this time when they

390
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: got around the pillar, is Anagi spoke first, How delightful

391
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: to meet so beautiful a maiden, and is Anami followed saying,

392
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: oh thank you so much for letting me speak. Now,

393
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: how great to meet such a handsome youth, et cetera,

394
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: et cetera. I imagine that he said it first, and

395
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: then there was kind of a very long silence, and

396
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: he's like he's an abby and she's like, oh, oh am,

397
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: I allowed to say something. Wow, thank you so much.

398
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm so lucky to have the permission of a handsome

399
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: youth like you to open my damn mouth. She looks

400
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: up at the sky. Is that good? Was that long enough?

401
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: A pose y'all good? Or what that good? I guess

402
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: she's probably less sassy than myself. Yeah, No, she was

403
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: kind of into it. She was fine with it. The

404
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: story that she Bukawa wrote said that her speaking second

405
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: was quote more appropriate and in accordance with the law

406
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: of nature. So I'll go ahead and cancel Genji Shibukawa

407
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: here as well, nineteen twenty eight author. Well, anyway, after

408
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: this fix it marriage, their fertility issues were solved, and

409
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: Isanami and Isanagi started giving birth to the eight great

410
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: Islands of Japan. Now that there was a solid earth

411
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,959
Speaker 1: and the country of islands to rule over, they started

412
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: bringing gods into the mix. So Isanami gave birth to

413
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: the sea god, the god of land, the wind deity

414
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: and the deity of treas, the usual gods for everything

415
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: you hear about in polytheism, and those gods went on

416
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: to birth gods of their own sons, begat, begat. So

417
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: everything's going great until Isanami gave birth to Kagutsuchi no Kami,

418
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: the deity of fire, and this little baby god was

419
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: actually made of fire, and Isonami was horribly burned during

420
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: his birth. Issanagi rushed in to save her, and he

421
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: managed to keep her alive, but she couldn't eat anything

422
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: after all this. So Isanagi loved her so much that

423
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 1: he spent all his time caring for her, and he

424
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 1: tried to prepare delicious meals that she could eat, but

425
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: everything she tried to swallow she immediately vomited back up.

426
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: And from that vomit two other deities were formed, kana

427
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: Yamahiko and Kanayama Hime, the mining and blacksmith in gods

428
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: that we mentioned earlier. Oh yeah, and eventually he's Anami

429
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 1: couldn't go on any longer and she Diedanagi threw himself

430
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: over her body and cried, quote, my dearest wife, why

431
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: art thou gone to leave me thus alone? How could

432
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: I ever exchange thee for even one child, come back

433
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: for the sake of the world in which there still

434
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: remains so much for both us to do. He cried

435
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: over her, and his tears fell down and formed another goddess,

436
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 1: nakisawame the spirit of spring water, and he looked up

437
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: and saw her, and He's like, God, my tears, I'm crying,

438
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: and now I've got another child. And this made him

439
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: cry harder until he was just like so overcome with

440
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: anger that he stood up, walked over to the fire god.

441
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: Kagatsuchi drew his sword and said, thou hateful mattress side

442
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: and he swung his sword and lopped the fire Baby's

443
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: head clean off. Fiery blood spouted into the air, and

444
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: as it dripped from his sword, eight more deities were born.

445
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: He looked down and said, quote, what more children? I mean,

446
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: I probably a sash, And then from Kagatsuchi's body another

447
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: eight deities climbed out of his lifeless form. Oh my God, seriously,

448
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: like you can't. You can't spit in this world without

449
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: creating a baby. This sounds like some sort of like

450
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: Cronenberg horror movie where it's like everything you touch a

451
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: living thing just crawls out of it. I know it

452
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: sounds like a horror story for sure, and it sounds

453
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: from the myth like they were kind of shocked by

454
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: this too. They didn't expect every time I vomit, odds

455
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: are going to pop out, terrifying. Plus, he's like, I'm

456
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: a newly single dad and you want me to have

457
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: sixteen more? How are many? I was trying to get

458
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: rid of one and you gave me sixteen more. I

459
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: know that's no although it is fucked up. He would

460
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: lop his own kid's head off. Yeah, he thought his

461
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: bat he was born of fire. Yeah, so he has

462
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: all these new kids, and he Easanagie did find some

463
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: comfort in raising all these little god babies. But he

464
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: missed his wife terribly, so he decided to go into

465
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: the underworld and bring her back. And when he arrived

466
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: at the Palace of the Underworld, he found her. He's

467
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: an Ami threw her arms around him, and Easanagie said, quote,

468
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: my darling, I have come to take you back to

469
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: the world. Come back and let us complete our work

470
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: of creation. How can I do this work without you?

471
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: But she told him that she had already eaten in

472
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 1: the underworld, and once you do that, it's impossible to leave.

473
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: He asked her, please find a way to come with me.

474
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: So she said she would go ask the Lord of

475
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: the underworld. Quote, but remember that thou must not on

476
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: any account look inside the castle in the meantime. And

477
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: he said, bet got it. No worries, babe, no doubt,

478
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: no doubt, absolutely one percent. Hurry up, Let's get the

479
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: hell out of here. I can handle this. I'm on it,

480
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sit right here and not do shit.

481
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: Should also say, because you're probably thinking this here, if

482
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: you're familiar with the story, that this is very similar

483
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,239
Speaker 1: to the Greek myth of Persephone, same thing where she

484
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: ate in Hades, and that's what sort of trapped her

485
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: down there. A lot of myths share across the globe,

486
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: and it's so interesting to me whether they came up

487
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: with them independently and there's similar stories, or whether that's

488
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: from cultural sharing. I think that's so cool, Right, that

489
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: would be so interesting to parse out for sure. Right,

490
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: So is an ame you know, she's going off to

491
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: ask the Lord of the underworld, and he's an Aggie

492
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: is sitting there waiting for her, tapping his foot all right,

493
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: all I have to do is not look in the castle,

494
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: and she'll be back any minute. Now. This is like

495
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: Diana when I go into the grocery store and leave

496
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: you in the car. And he was like, oh my god,

497
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: is he ever? I don't know if the line's long

498
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: or what the deal is, but this is taking forever. Well,

499
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: I had a smart I have a smartphone to birth

500
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: the deity that would become a smartphone, I guess. Well.

501
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: He waited all day long, and as Genji Shibikawa wrote quote,

502
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: probably to his impatient mind, a single heartbeat may have

503
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: seemed an age. He was so nervous and worried that

504
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: he decided, you know what, I'm just gonna go take

505
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: a quick look see and see what's going on in there.

506
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: That's the one I know. He broke off a tooth

507
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: of his comb and he lit that as a torch.

508
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: He held it up and crept into the castle have

509
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: a little looky loop, and to his horror he saw

510
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: Anagi laying dead on the floor, not beautiful as she

511
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: had been when he met her, but rotting and covered

512
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: in He gasped, dropped his torch and took off running.

513
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: And this woke her up. She looked around, heard his

514
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: scream and said, quote, he must have seen me in

515
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: this revolting state. He has put me to shame and

516
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: broken his solemn vow. I'll make him suffer for his perfidy.

517
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: And she collected a bunch of her wretched little hag

518
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: demons that were hebbling around her and said, we're going

519
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: to go chase after this guy, and they all took

520
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: off after him. Good lord, she's really changed. So's Anagi

521
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: took off, running out of the underworld, his zombie wife

522
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: and her demons and hot pursuit. He made it to

523
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: the entrance and pushed a boulder into the mouth of

524
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: the cavern that separated the two worlds. Hes Anamie couldn't

525
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: pass through, so she screamed to him that she would

526
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: destroy one thousand residents of the living world every day.

527
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: He's Anagi shouted back that he would give life to

528
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred in return. The two agreed to divorce, and

529
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: eas Anami They're like, we're just not compatible, and you

530
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: know that we've we've decided to go in different directions.

531
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: You know, you're a rotting corpse full of maggots, and

532
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: I'm you know not that. Plus I have sixteen kids.

533
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: You know, you weren't there for that. But they keep head,

534
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: they keep spawning. I gotta get home. So the two

535
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: agreed to divorce, and Easnami would rule the land of

536
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: the dead, while Easanagi ruled the land of the living.

537
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: And Easanagi went back to his home and he washed

538
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: himself in spring waters, which is said to explain the

539
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: purification rituals in Shintoism, where shrine goers washed themselves with

540
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: water before entering a sacred space. I can imagine getting

541
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: out of that situation and really wanting to take a shower.

542
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was just in the underworld for a while.

543
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of maggots. Okay, my dead wife's chasing

544
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: me down. The other interesting thing is that that sort

545
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: of argument they had where is Anami said she would

546
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: kill a thousand lives a day and Zanagi said he

547
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: would then give life to fifteen hundred in return. This

548
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: was the beginning of death in the world apparently, So

549
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: that's sort of how you know people are gonna die,

550
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: but more will be born. That was kind of where

551
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: that idea came from. Interesting. Yeah, so I think it's

552
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: a really fascinating tale, one of these sort of love

553
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: myths that we sometimes get the opportunity to tell on

554
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: this show. And I love this stuff. I was a

555
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: big mythology fan in college and high school and stuff,

556
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: so this is cool to get back into. But I

557
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: know y'all are itching you got blue balls for this

558
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: dick festival we've been talking about. We've been teasing you

559
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: about it this whole time, right, and we want to

560
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: talk about how it all relates. But yes, their children,

561
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: Kaneyamahico and Kaneyamahime sparked the rigid ritual that we'll be

562
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: talking about. So let's take a quick break and we'll

563
00:32:52,400 --> 00:33:00,479
Speaker 1: take a ride on that story right after this. Welcome back, y'all. Okay,

564
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: So we talked about the two children born of Isanami's

565
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: vomit after she was burned by her fire baby. That

566
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: was Kaneyamahiko and Kaneyamahime. And that as I was saying that,

567
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: I was like, imagine if this was like the radio

568
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: and people just tuned in at a certain point, wait

569
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: birth from vomit after the fire baby, what if you're

570
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: just joining us? All right? So Kanyeamahiko and Kanyeamahime are

571
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: like Isnami and Isanagi sort of that divine brother sister

572
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: husband wife sort of team, and these two are celebrated

573
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: as protectors of blacksmiths and sexuality. Again is a weird combo. Yeah. Now,

574
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: in some versions of the story, this is because it

575
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: said that Kaneyamahiko and Kanyeamahime healed Isanami's burns around her

576
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: vagina after she birthed the fire baby, so they they

577
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: you know, were born of her vomit. The first thing

578
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: they did. Oh my god, thanks mom for bringing us

579
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: into the world. WHOA what is happening? Let me let

580
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 1: me try and put the spire out right real quick.

581
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: And so because they were so quick to act and

582
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: did such a good job, they are prayed to for

583
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: anyone who's seeking help with venereal diseases or their fertility

584
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 1: or safe childbirth or even matrimonial happiness. That's according to

585
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: Tofugu dot Com. But that's not the only story about

586
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: why these two are associated with, you know, things having

587
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: to do with sex. There's another one that explains the

588
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: background of the penis Festival a little more clearly. Once

589
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:40,479
Speaker 1: there was a jealous demon with nasty sharp teeth who

590
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: fell in love with a beautiful, young human woman okay,

591
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: and she just wasn't that into him for some reason.

592
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: We can't imagine why, because he was a jealous demon

593
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: with nasty, sharp teath. Hey, baby, don't talk to anybody

594
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: else but you and me. Huh, you away from me.

595
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm so tired. Let me mark that here. Give me

596
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: a little sugar sweet cheeks. Girl. Who's this demon? Who? Well? Yeah,

597
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: so she was like not feeling it, and the demon

598
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: got but heard about it and decided that he would

599
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: take up residence inside her vagina, and he swore to

600
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: bite the boners off at anyone who dared enter her. Wow.

601
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: I've heard of like vengeful exes, but good godiculous. This

602
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: is real crazy because he's like inside her vagina. Yeah,

603
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: that's personal. She you know, I'd be like, get the

604
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: fuck out. I mean, there's violating someone's personal space. And

605
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: then there's this like you went too far. Well, the

606
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: woman fell in love with a young man and soon

607
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: they decided to to wed, but sure enough, on their

608
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: wedding nights they started to have sex, and so he

609
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 1: got his dick bit clean off. So yeah, that marriage

610
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: didn't last. I guess he was like, I feel like

611
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: I've sacrifice a lot. So she figured, I mean, one

612
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 1: of the odds of this happening twice, who gets struck

613
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: by lightning twice? Right, So she married a second man

614
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: and I guess did not disclose to him how her

615
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:18,720
Speaker 1: first marriage ended. So on their wedding night, consummation started,

616
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: and once again her husband died. Damn, Sorry, Honny, I

617
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: should have mentioned yeah, he's I mean, I imagine these

618
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: fellas are just running screaming. Well, she starts thinking, Okay,

619
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: maybe I'm trying to do the same thing here and

620
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: expecting different results, right, So let me try and come

621
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: up with a solution. So she goes to a blacksmith

622
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: and she said, hey, I need you to whip me

623
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: up a big steal. Dick who is the blacksmith in

624
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: our other episode where we talked about making dildo's, Oh

625
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 1: my god, so like Josh or something, Josh the blacksmith,

626
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: Josh the blo We'll go with it. This time it's

627
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: josh y in Dick blacksmithing. Well, anyway, this blacksmith is like,

628
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: excuse me, you need me to make a what? And

629
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: she explained her situation like, hey, I got this this

630
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: tooth demon in my vagina biting dick's off, and Josh

631
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 1: the blacksmith is like, oh, actually, totally I got you girl.

632
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: Let me get out my dildo mold. Been there, done that?

633
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I just fifty of these a week, teeth

634
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: tooth demons at it again. Hey, well, pull out the mold.

635
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: So he banged out a big steel dildo for her,

636
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: and do you think that he was like, yeah, sure,

637
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 1: you got a demon in your vagina rights dildo. I'm

638
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: not here to ask questions, lady exactly, it's your money, lady. Well,

639
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: at this point, the story kind of jumps forward to

640
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: the results of this, but I like to imagine that she,

641
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: to trick the demon had to hold a big, elaborate

642
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: wedding ceremony and pretend that she was about to marry

643
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: some dude, and then they get back to their honeymoon

644
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: suite and she's like, okay, husband, I'm ready for you

645
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: to put your big, fleshy, meaty penis inside my very

646
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: safe vagina with no warning, and she slipped that steel

647
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 1: buildo inside and then of course the demon doing his thing,

648
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 1: immediately went chomped, but instead of biting somebody's dick off,

649
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: just like Yosemite Sam or Elmer Fudd getting hit in

650
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: the teeth. All of his teeth just shattered and fell

651
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: out of his mouth to do a hundred pieces. Yes, victory.

652
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 1: And he's sitting this vagina. He's like, oh, man, without

653
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: these teeth, I'm just gonna be sucking Dixon here the

654
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: rest of my life. So he decided it was time

655
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: to vacate that vagina, and this lucky girl got to

656
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: go on and get happily married, and she had many

657
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: children happily every everything worked out. Yes, I'm a dick bitter,

658
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: not a dick sucker, right, I need teeth. I'm not

659
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: gumming dicks. The guys are like, actually this is great.

660
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: It's just that's the opposite of what I watch, all right.

661
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 1: So in either of these stories, whether it's the healing

662
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: the burns around the goddess vagina or biting off a

663
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: steel dick and curing you from a demon, take it

664
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 1: up residence. Blacksmith's doing great things for sexual health. Right. So,

665
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: for a long time during the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth century,

666
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: sex workers would go and pray to the kane Yama

667
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: god and goddess at their shrine to help protect them

668
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: from or cure sexually transmitted disease. Oh, I got a

669
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: demon in there, I know. Please put shatters to you,

670
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 1: give me your holy dildo and get it out. And

671
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,959
Speaker 1: soon everyone was doing the same thing, but being sort

672
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: of a shameful prayer. You know, you're, I guess, kind

673
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: of admitting that if a sexually transmitted disease, or at

674
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: least that you're having sex, which might be shameful to

675
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: some people. Yes, not spoken about very much, right, So

676
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: it's sort of a shameful prayer. So it was always

677
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: done at night at this shrine, and the tradition sort

678
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: of fizzled out by the end of the eighteen hundreds.

679
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 1: It was mostly forgotten until nineteen seventy when the chief

680
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: priest of the surrounding temple, Hirohiko Nakamura, decided to bring

681
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: it back, and he organized the first Sunday in April

682
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 1: as a small night time gathering for people to pray

683
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: for sexual health, protection from disease, help with fertility, and

684
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: healthy relationship. Very nice. Seventies makes sense, exactly right. Everyone's

685
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: thinking about sex differently at that time, right, even in Japan.

686
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think you're right. Now. The resulting Kanamara

687
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: Matsuri or penis festival stayed a pretty small festival. It

688
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: went on for about forty years, relatively unnoticed now. It

689
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: coincided with the Jibeta Matsuri or ground festival, which took

690
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: place in the spring, and this was when bamboo shoots

691
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: were starting to pop through the surface. So people would

692
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: go and they would seven the ground and like picnic outside,

693
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 1: hoping to get some of the magical energy from the

694
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: and boo coming up out of the ground. Interesting. Yeah,

695
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: And soon the Kanayama Shrine parishioners decided that they would

696
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: just kind of merge these two festivals in the daytime

697
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: because they wanted to create quote a festival that anybody

698
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: would be able to enjoy in daylight without being discriminated.

699
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: And that's according to Macha JP dot com. Yeah, okay,

700
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, listen, we're all having sex. Does there

701
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: have to be any shame involves Yeah, in praying for

702
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: sexual health. Just give us this one day where we

703
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: can come out and talk about it. Yeah, it's like

704
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 1: a we can light it all out. It's like a purge. Yeah,

705
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: you let it all out. We're good behavior for the

706
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: rest of the year. And they would have a small

707
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: parade that took place that involved depictions of penis shaped

708
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: structures and shrines, and people gradually came to feel open

709
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: and comfortable about talking about sex and their sexual health

710
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: on this day. And then, according to the culture trip

711
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: dot com, in twenty twelve, a TV star named Matsuko Deluxe,

712
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,760
Speaker 1: who was an outspoken LGBTQ activist, name checked the festival

713
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: on TV and after that it just exploded. Suddenly everybody's

714
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: talking about the penis parade, and it was popping up

715
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: in like BuzzFeed articles, there's like videos trending about it.

716
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: It just totally took off. And now the festival has

717
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: sort of evolved and it is heavily dedicated to sexual openness,

718
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:27,720
Speaker 1: LGBTQ plus activism, and the fight against sexually transmitted diseases,

719
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: especially HIV. So they like raise a lot of money

720
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 1: at this festival as well. Cool, you have good causes. Wow,

721
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: it's funny just one time talk about it on TV.

722
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: So the name of the shrine is kana Yama, right,

723
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: The festival name Kanamara is kind of a play on words.

724
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: It says on Japan Dot Travel that the mara is

725
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: an old Buddhist word meaning obstacle to Buddhist practice. Oh,

726
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: when you think of it, your dick, you can't be

727
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: a good yes, right, just anything that might get in

728
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: the way of your enlightenment rights, yeah, or it's something

729
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: having to do with bad desires. According to Japan Travel

730
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: Today dot com, okay, so, mara mata became slang for penish,

731
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: something that might get in the way of your enlightenment,

732
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: something that might get in the way or give you

733
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 1: a bad desire. I could see it. And they mashed

734
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,720
Speaker 1: up kana yama and mata to create the Kana Mata festival.

735
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 1: Okay so, on the festival day, the whole city is

736
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: all about the d It is bde all over that. Yes,

737
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,919

00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: are dick boats, there are dick shrines being marched through

739
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: the town. And it looks like a really insane party.

740
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: People are playing drums and they were in special clothes

742
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,280
Speaker 1: it's just very much. Oh, I'd read this thing about

743
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:55,959
Speaker 1: this was on Japan Travel Today dot com that says

744
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: for the truly adventurous, they have one stall that offered

745
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 1: a sort of weak milky drink called amazaki and a

746
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: snack that you ate with it that, when combined created

747
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: the texture and taste of seamen. Oh. So you know,

00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: that's that's how you try for yourself, try for yourself.

750
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: Maybe you learned something about yourself today. I don't know

751
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: that it's a flavor people are chasing, but you know,

752
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: not something I was ever really like, when are they

00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: but I respect the commitment to the theme. Yes, she's

00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: gonna theme a party. You need to go with it.

757
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: That's true. That's true. So they're like, let's make this dampen.

758
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: They put a lot of work into making that just right.

759
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's just like a big crazy I mean,

760
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,439
Speaker 1: you know, you could see probably a fraternity house having

761
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: a similar type of party, or again a bachelorette party. Right,

762
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: But keep in mind most of the article about this

763
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: do note that there's still a degree of respectfulness and

764
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: religiousness that carries through this festival. So it's not just

765
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: about you know, like masturbation jokes or whatever. So if

766
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: you go, try not to be you know, a dick. Right,

767
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: we got enough of those. Enjoy the dick. Don't be one, right.

768
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 1: I don't mean that's not to say that it's solemn.

769
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like everyone's bowed their heads. It

770
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: is a raucous, raunchy party. They know how funny it is.

771
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: But I think there are people who who are you know,

772
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: also having an experience of like I'm praying for my

773
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: sexual health. I'm here today, you know, for religious purpose

774
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: to hope that this sensation goes away or I do

775
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 1: or don't get pregnant or comes back. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

776
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,720
Speaker 1: but there are a lot of as you point out,

777
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: it is, they definitely lean into this obviously, and they

778
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: know how much fun it is and how how wacky

779
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: it is. Like some activities include carving a dicon route

780
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: into the shape of a big ding or you can

781
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: like pour wax into cute little cock candles. Oh yeah, right,

782
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: right for dicks. There's also these mikoshi or portable shrines

783
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 1: that participants will carry through the streets in this very

784
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: famous parade that happens at noon on the day of

785
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: the festival, and the shrines are beautiful. Is you know?

786
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: These tall, very Japanese structure looking shrines mikoshi exist in

787
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: many festival parades. These particular ones carry big phallic statues

788
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,399
Speaker 1: in them, and they get carried through the streets of Kawasaki.

789
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: The people who are holding them up on their shoulders,

790
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,280
Speaker 1: they'll like rock them back and forth to help awaken

791
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: the god's powers as they go. And there are three

792
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 1: big famous dongs that everybody knows best. The oldest of

793
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: the three and I could not find how old, but

794
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: I like to think it's been around for centuries. It's

795
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: the kanamara omekoshi. And this one is made of wood.

796
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't find an exact measurement, but from the pictures

797
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 1: I could find, looks like a squat little dick like

798
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: maybe about two feet tall and pretty thick. Um. They're

799
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 1: all pretty turgidum. The next one you might see in

800
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: the parade is the Konamara Funa mikoshi, which is a

801
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: very long, tall, like six foot tall, majestic schlong statue

802
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 1: made of black iron. One's that one reminded me of

803
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: the story, right, like that might be the one that

804
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: got the demon. Oh sure, okay, yeah, that's the one

805
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: that she defeated, right, the tooth guy with no my

806
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: one ed amy metal dicks, my one weakness. No one

807
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:43,839
Speaker 1: told me you could make this. Well. The third of

808
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: these shrines, and maybe the most famous now is called

809
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Mkoshi and it's a bright pink penis probably about

810
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: four feet tall, very exaggerated ridges and everything you'd expect. Yes,

811
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: it's got the balls too, of course, if you're curious,

812
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: they all do they need some to sit on, right, Yeah,

813
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:08,919
Speaker 1: just a nice base so they don't tip over this one.

814
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: The Elizabeth was donated to the festival by a famous

815
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 1: Tokyo drag club called Elizabeth Kaikan, and originally after they

816
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 1: donated this, only members of the drag club could carry

817
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: the Elizabeth, but guidable dot com says that now they

818
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,439
Speaker 1: allow members of the festival association to carry it as well.

819
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: But there one rule is that if you're carrying it,

820
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 1: you have to cross dress. Oh yeah, I got to

821
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: be part of the yeah. An article in Yahoo News

822
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:43,280
Speaker 1: says that this shrine, in particular as the drag club,

823
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: helped kind of convert the festival to being largely about

824
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: health and LGBT issues. They collect donations that go to

825
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:56,720
Speaker 1: support things primarily like HIV research. Oh that's cool. Yeah,

826
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: so it's very very heavily involved in like supporting underserved

827
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: community is raising money, and that it does come with

828
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: like one hundred thousand people, including sixty thousand tourists. Now

829
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: it's been a great fundraising opportunity. Sure, yeah, yeah, that

830
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense because who wouldn't want to

831
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: go check it out. I want to go check it out.

832
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: I mean definitely would be in would love to be

833
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 1: in Japan really anytime, anytime. Sure, I would take April,

834
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: yeah and go to this. Let's see, Kawasaki, Japan is

835
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: not far from Tokyo, so it's you know, practically a suburb.

836
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 1: So I say we just go to Tokyo around late

837
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: March early April. We can make it your birthday trip. Okay, Yeah,

838
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: let's go and plan that right now. Yeah. In fact,

839
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: if we're in Romania on February twenty fourth and we

840
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 1: start walking, then we might make it to Kawasaki in time.

841
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: Let's see directions from Romania to Kawasaki, Japan twenty two

842
00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 1: hundred hours, which is that's only ninety four days. That's

843
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: three months if we run for half of it, we

844
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: might make it and don't stop to eat sleep. Yeah, yeah,

845
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 1: we can't stop eats. Twenty four hours moving well, I

846
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: don't know if I want that for my birthday. But

847
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 1: we got to go right through Russia. Oh cool, this

848
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: is gonna be so easy. Yeah. Some of these kind

849
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: of remind me of that. Remember that grandma in Mexico

850
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,359
Speaker 1: that had a big thick as your tombstone. Yeah, it's

851
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: kind of yeah, they kind of look like that ds

852
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: of their detail, I guess the detail in carving. But no,

853
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 1: it's it's so fascinating. I mean, it's not subtle in

854
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: the slightest. Find tons of videos and pictures about it

855
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: out there. It's really fun. It looks like a great time.

856
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: Everybody that's there, they're all like these girls like stuck

857
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,399
Speaker 1: it on these cock lollipops and they're having a fan

858
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: you know, they're just laughing it up. They're having a time,

859
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 1: having fun. Um. So yeah, it just looks like a

860
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: really good time. Yeah, and a good cause and a

861
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: great cause now, which is cool too. I love the

862
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: mythology behind it. I think it's important that that doesn't

863
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: get lost because that's again they mentioned that a lot

864
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: of the a lot of the probably Western especially articles

865
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: about this festival are very kind of single minded about it,

866
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:16,760
Speaker 1: and they're just like, Haha, look at all the dicks.

867
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: But I think there's some really beautiful stories that come

868
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: out of that. But then again, I'm a mythology freak anyway,

869
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: so I love that stuff. I know, I love mythology. Yeah,

870
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: and these were great. I didn't know either of these,

871
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: I know, right, I was unfamiliar. Well three, really we

872
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: kind of got because between a dragobette and is an

873
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: ami and he's an aggie, and then also the tooth tooth. Yeah,

874
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 1: that's really three. Yeah, it really got quite a few.

875
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: Now do you think that's where the fear of vagina

876
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 1: denttata came from? Also, well, that's another one that I'm

877
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:54,320
Speaker 1: wondering if that just has developed in different areas of

878
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: the world at different times, because whenever you put your

879
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,800
Speaker 1: dick inside something, there is just that hint of a

880
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:05,280
Speaker 1: question of like, will will it come back out? No? Really,

881
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 1: you know, just somewhere in the back of the like

882
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 1: your monkey brain is thinking, make sure it's going to

883
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: come back out again? Because you only get one? Yeah,

884
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: all right, I mean I kind of feel that when

885
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: like you put your hand in a box and you

886
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: don't know what's in the box, like you know, you

887
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: certainly are like, oh wait a minute, this is kind

888
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 1: of precious to me. I could reach and I want

889
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: to know what's in there if I reach, if I

890
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: reach beyond a wall, but I know there's nothing on

891
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: the other side, but I can't see it. Part of

892
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: me is nervous, fully convinced, yeah, that it will be

893
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: chopped off with yes, I agree. Yeah, so I could

894
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: see that John Dentada developing independently over many cultures, or

895
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:47,240
Speaker 1: somebody did something real stupid and got their dick ripped

896
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 1: off because they were like, you know, they stuck it

897
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: into something they shouldn't have stuck it into. And everyone's

898
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: like what happened And they're like, well, I was having sex.

899
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: I was having lots of you know me, I'm always

900
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:00,080
Speaker 1: having seen me and I don't know this girl. I

901
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: guess you just had a demon in there bit it

902
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:05,359
Speaker 1: right off. And they're like, what that could happen? All

903
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: these girls are like going home, like hello, anyone in there,

904
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: please leave. I was like a normal's decks life. Thank you. Meanwhile,

905
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 1: the guy actually just like tried to stick his dick

906
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: in a water wheel or something, and definitely, but he's

907
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: too embarrassed to say, I love your idea that she

908
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: was just asking for a dildo and had to come

909
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 1: up with an elaborate story for the Blacksmith. I love

910
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: what she came up with. Pretty credible. She should write

911
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: that ship down Mary Shelley of her time coming up

912
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: with horror shit. Blacksmith goes back to his wife and

913
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 1: he's like, Honey, I found I've determined we have to

914
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: start using this thing to make sure that there's no

915
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:43,959
Speaker 1: demons in there. His wife is like, wow, I'm yes,

916
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,879
Speaker 1: I didn't you insist? I mean, let it be known

917
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: it was your idea. Can you blow one out of glass?

918
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: Do you think just one of the irons a little cold? Sometimes,

919
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: let's keep working on this. We can work on this design.

920
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: What if it buzzed? I'm just, you know, just curious,

921
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 1: what if we filled it with bees? That shit still

922
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: bugs me out when I think about it. That's an

923
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: older episode, yeah, and an older episode. We did a

924
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,439
Speaker 1: brief history of sex toys, and one of the things

925
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 1: we learned was that Cleopatra apparently put bees into a

926
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: hollow gourd to use as a vibrator, right, so she

927
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: would just shake them up to get all mad and

928
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: then like hold it against a precious area of her body,

929
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 1: which I just don't understand, like you really trust this

930
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 1: gored too close to danger. Oh, another fact I wanted

931
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 1: to bring up. I thought it was really interesting. One

932
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 1: article said that, you know, you think of Japan as

933
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: being a little more conservative about sex, and they are.

934
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 1: Apparently it's very uncommon to talk about sex in the open,

935
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 1: like you don't mention your sex life in public, okay,

936
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 1: But Japan has this culture where like on Saturday night

937
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 1: you can go out and get go hog wild, get

938
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: drunk with your boss, do karaoke till four in the morning,

939
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: you can do all kinds of crazy shit, and then

940
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: on Monday, when you're back at work, it's like it

941
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 1: never happened. So this festival, it says, whole families will

942
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 1: show up to celebrate sex and fertility, and you know,

943
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 1: and it's totally cool. Just for that one day we're

944
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: allowed to kind of like you said, it's like a purge. Purge. Yeah,

945
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: let's all go talk about sex. And then on Monday

946
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 1: we won't bring it up again for a year. Right.

947
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: That's so interesting that they're like, oh, well, you know,

948
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: I know you got real fucked up and vomited on

949
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 1: my lap right at the karaoke bar. But it's like

950
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:35,240
Speaker 1: you're still a great VP of sales or whatever. Never happened.

951
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. Well, I hope

952
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: you all enjoyed these stories of these love fests and

953
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 1: where they came from and the myths that created them.

954
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: I love this stuff. It's so fascinating to me, and
