1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation. It's time once again for Amanda's

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: evening scroll. What have I found? I found? He's three

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: competitions that I didn't know existed, Like I've seen hot

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: dog eating competitions and stuff. I don't like any of it. No,

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: I would never turn up to take the worlds to

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: take part in the world's biggest rope pool? What's that

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: thing called tug of war? Isn't that what body blues?

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: Doing all that stuff? I wouldn't, you know, I'm not interested.

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: But people do on the weekends, people do unusual things.

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: This is one that took place in Bavaria in Germany.

11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: Have here's some of the German commentary. I'll tell you

12
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: what it's about, Germans rusty and struggling. This is a

13
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: tobacco sniffing competition. So this is apparently a popular sport.

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: You shove tobacco up your nose. So are they just

15
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: champion Ruby? What's that? A racehorse? Champion Ruby rollies? Well,

16
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: one drum. What happened is, as one of the competitors said,

17
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: we don't do this for fun. We're not like people

18
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: who sniff it habitually. It's a competition, a sport sniffing.

19
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: So you get a small pot of tobacco, five grams

20
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: of sniffing tobacco. You have one minute to use your

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: fingers and get as much of it into your nose

22
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: as possible. You don't snort it, you have to keep

23
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: it in your nose, right, as they say, it just

24
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: matters that tobacco is gone from the box. So at

25
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: the end they weigh what's left and what has fallen out.

26
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: They weigh that as well. Who's ever managed to keep

27
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: as much as they can in their nose is the winner.

28
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: And there's pictures of people after pictures of people during

29
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: it sticking their fingers up their noses and as a

30
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: big black make around their noses like they've got bubonic plague.

31
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: Barry Manolit went there, he'd win, Barbs drive in him, sweep,

32
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: sweep the pool. Philip Morrison say, well that's it, that's

33
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: us run out of tobacco for the year. So that's

34
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: the tobacco sniffing. What else? What about this one in England?

35
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: See like I was so fair, I can't feel anything.

36
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: I hate to drink all my seafootlight right now? This

37
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: is the world nettle eating competition. Have you ever touched

38
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: a netlik. Yes, they sting, They sting, So this is

39
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: a stinging nettle is a native plant found throughout the

40
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: British aisles. It causes skin irritation. It's got tiny little

41
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: lighty things on the leaves. The origins of this competition

42
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: lie in a friendly dispute between local farmers who would

43
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: see who could grow the longest nettles. The one who boasted,

44
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: he'd eat any nettle longer than his own, and that's

45
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: that's where this tradition begins. So the format, let me

46
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: tell you about the format. Competitors are given twenty centimeter

47
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: nettle stalks. They have to strip and eat as many

48
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: leaves as possible within sixty minutes. So the person who

49
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: was combined with the length of the stalk and the

50
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: number of leaves that you eat, is the winner. That

51
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: you can drink cider to ease the sting while you're

52
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: doing it, but leaving the table or being sick leads

53
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: to qualification. Past the telfast. Well here's another one that

54
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: this one's not an eating competition, but this is unusual

55
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: as well. Have a listen to what's going on. Yeah,

56
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: I think it's misunderstood. You spray the film first before

57
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: you feel it. Because it does it stops the statically.

58
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: This is the world window tinting competition. Could well, that's

59
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: hard to do. Tinterer battles. It's called I turned up

60
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: for tinder battles. What did I know? Annual competition for

61
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: window tinting and paint protection film industry. So this is

62
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: global competition. So you have, for example, heat shrinking battles,

63
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: architectural window tint battles. Different battles test you skill, your

64
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: precision and your ability to handle stressful situations while you're

65
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: installing this film. Well it would be stressful. You know

66
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: you have covering kids books in contact. The mothers would

67
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: win that every year. I'm pretty good. One errant bubble.

68
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, mothers would win that every year. Well done,

69
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: Thank you. Join us next time for another exciting episode

70
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: of Amanda's Evening Scroll. Now I'm up to put some

71
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,360
