It's gonna be nasty.
Honestly, that's delicious.

Actually, we're a little sugary.
So this is a little hangover

00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,300
it's really fucking weird,
right?
171
00:09:53,300 --> 00:09:55,900
Okay, I do, you guys have any
Christmas traditions that you
172
00:09:55,900 --> 00:09:58,200

00:10:05,900 --> 00:10:07,400
about.
So when it comes up what will
177
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,600
say it.
But aside from that, I don't
178
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,500
know, I guess I was talking to
your mom earlier and she was
179
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:16,300
saying that that you guys do
open up a present Christmas Eve,
180
00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:18,100
right?
One present, one present.
181
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:20,300
Yeah, we do that too, that's how
I grew up.
182
00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:22,900
Yeah, it was is opening up one
present a Christmas Eve.
183
00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:26,100

pajamas but now as an adult, I

So, next time, we, the next one
240
00:13:42,408 --> 00:13:45,400
we have is the pooper and the
pooping log in Catalonia.
241
00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:51,300
Yeah, so for some inexplicable
inexplicable reason catalans,
242
00:13:51,300 --> 00:13:56,500
observe not one, but two To
based Christmas traditions that
243
00:13:56,500 --> 00:13:59,800
will put a smile on your face.
Eat feces, right?
244
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,100
Yeah.
Excuse me species.
245
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,800
They says.
So, the first is the CAG, Nur

So, Jesus, Mary.
250
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,400
And Joseph in the pooper, right?
The second one isn't a conga.
251
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,800
Theo or the pooping log, which
is a small stick in, with a
252
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,800
smile on its face that lives on
a dinner table and December and
253
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,300
it's fed every day with nuts.
Yeah, I'm sure not gonna feed
254
00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:37,200

It's corn.
255
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,800
No doesn't say corn.
But sweets and kept warm with a

country in the Fortnight Before
Christmas like Snow White seven
270
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,800

Lander has his own personality
including nice, this actually
272

00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:02,500

Dropping off pressey, this must
be presents presents.
280
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:11,100
Excessive precedents for the
good kids, and the writing and
281
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:12,900
writing potatoes for the bad
ones.
282
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,000
So it's like, that's a rotten
potato.
283
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,400
Yeah.
Why are all the so erotic
284

All right babe.

00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,200
us?
My name is Mary Lord Wales.
290
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:47,300
Hmm and this is a Welsh culture
is acient and steeped in
291
00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:48,800
Superstition.
That's true.
292
00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:51,800
Okay, it's not surprising,
therefore, that residents of
293
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,400
South Wales.
Enjoy parade.
294
00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:58,100
Ting and undead horse around
their villages, to celebrate the
295
00:16:58,100 --> 00:17:03,000
happiest time of year.
MMA West sailing display, dating
296
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,500
back to probably Celtic times
the custom involves draping a
297
00:17:07,500 --> 00:17:12,500
white sheet, over a pole with a
horse skull attached and
298
00:17:12,500 --> 00:17:16,200
knocking on townsfolk's.
Doors creepy, no doubt.
299
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,900
Giving them the Fright of their
lives.
300
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:23,400
The party carrying The Morbid.
Effigy then sing.
301
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:26,400
To the residents who are
supposed to sing back before,
302
00:17:26,500 --> 00:17:30,500
relinquishing some food or
drink, there is some debate
303
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:34,000
about whether Mary Lord
translates to Holy Mary or gray
304
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,400
mare, but either seems equally
creepy to me.
305
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,200
Yeah, I agree.
I totally agree with you.
306
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,000
Oh, so they go around and just
like, oh, hey knock on your
307
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000
door.
So you see that creepy horse
308
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,500
had?
I mean, Yeah, it's super creepy.
309
00:17:52,500 --> 00:17:54,900
What does this come from?
Where the hell did I get all
310
00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:57,200
these horse heads?
I was there like a mass killing
311
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,100
of horses.
Right?
312
00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:00,900
Before Christmas to complete.
Probably given from France,
313
00:18:00,900 --> 00:18:02,100
right?
They eat a lot of horse out
314
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:03,000
there.
That's very true.
315
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,800
Have you guys ever tried horse?
Is that a thing do?
316
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,500
They totally, do you got it
worse?
317
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,900
I've never tried it before.
I want to try it.
318
00:18:09,900 --> 00:18:12,800
I mean had reindeer.
When I was in Norway, I don't
319
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:13,800
know.
Nothing.
320
00:18:13,900 --> 00:18:18,300
It was good.
I know I did a reindeer.
321
00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:20,800
Yeah, I think that they They
have.
322
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:26,800
So I think there's a place here
in Denver that has a reindeer.
323
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,800
Sausage, has Biker Jim's.
Don't they have reindeer?
324
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,300
Sausage is, yeah, it's like kind
of gave me like, like deer,
325
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,600
which makes sense.
Yeah, it doesn't sense.
326
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,400
Sounds gross.
Well, it sounds good.
327
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:42,600
Alright, that's I'm up.
I think.
328
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,500
Yeah, you're up.
It's all you.
329
00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:47,200
Okay, we're going to talk about
Japan.

00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,500
And they love themselves from
Kentucky, Fried Chicken, mmm.
331
00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:54,700
So I yeah, I know, it's pretty
fucking good.
332
00:18:56,300 --> 00:18:58,800
So this is the greatest
Christmas thing marketing.
333
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:03,000
Try absence Coca-Cola.
Honestly popularize the fat
334
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,500
jolly red-suited image of Santa
Claus as we all know and love
335
00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:09,500
and Christmas isn't huge in
Japan but ridiculously
336
00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:15,100
successful KFC, add in the 1970
70s established his tradition of
337
00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:20,400
families tucking into Going into
buckets of Fried Chicken on
338
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,200
December 25th so they literally
go out to KFC.
339
00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:28,700
That's their tradition.
My buckets of KFC and that is
340
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:32,400
their December 25th dinner.
That's crazy.
341
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,500
I love it.
Uh-huh.
342
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:36,700
That sounds really good.
I freaking love KFC.
343
00:19:36,700 --> 00:19:38,800
Hmm.
Like I could eat it every day.
344
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,300
What do you like the most the
original recipe?
345
00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:47,400
Original recipe like the dark
meat like the leg or the thigh.
346
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,700
Oh my God, love.

347
00:19:49,700 --> 00:19:52,200

349
00:19:54,900 --> 00:19:56,000
Christmas cookies.

350
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,100
Good job Dave.
Yeah.
351
00:19:57,100 --> 00:20:00,400
Way to go cook says but I saw

Thank you.
Yeah, the next one we have is La
353
00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:07,100
Belle Befana, and Italy.
So Italian Christmases are
354
00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:11,400
actually celebrated with a wine
drinking which so we're all wine
355
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,000
drinking.
I don't know.
356
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,500
Are we could we?
We're not witches yet but we
357
00:20:16,500 --> 00:20:18,700
aspire to be.
No, I'm a Warlock.
358
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:21,700
But it's true.
You need one black mass and then
359
00:20:21,700 --> 00:20:24,400
you're in.
Okay, Daniel would know.
360
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,600
I, okay, so it's that the wine
drinking which is not your
361
00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:30,500
alcoholic.
Auntie, from the doggy side of
362
00:20:30,500 --> 00:20:35,900
the family, it's actually 12
Days After Santa's visit, which
363
00:20:35,900 --> 00:20:37,400
is when she comes.
It's on the Epiphany.
364
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,200
The eve of the Epiphany January
5th families, across Italy,
365
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:45,100
actually, leave out.
A glass of the VMO and a plate
366
00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:49,500
of sausages for La Belle Befana.
Who pops down the chimney on her
367
00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:51,700
broomstick?
They're Savory Santa.
368
00:20:51,900 --> 00:20:55,600
I, this is my kind of like,
honestly, like can I just be
369
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,500
her?
I love sausages.
370
00:20:57,500 --> 00:20:59,300
I love wine.
I'm fucking down.
371
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:05,000
So, according to Fork, lure the
old lady, who knocked back an
372
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,100
invitation from the three wise,
men to witness the birth of
373
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:10,200
Christ.
That's who she wasn't and was so
374
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,400
devastated about, she was
actually devastated about
375
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,000
missing it.
So she spends every
376
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,300
Christmastime gliding around the
country.
377
00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:20,000
Searching for babies, Jesus all
We're not sure why she thinks
378
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,100
she'll find him in any way and
Doling out presents to good,
379
00:21:24,100 --> 00:21:26,000
kids, and coal to the naughty
ones.
380
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,200
Huh?
Hmm.
381
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,800
Okay.
So they like their coal.
382
00:21:29,100 --> 00:21:31,000
Yeah.
You like that.
383
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,300
They're Savory.
Because I'm savoring your
384
00:21:33,300 --> 00:21:34,100
favorite.
Yeah.
385
00:21:34,100 --> 00:21:36,700
Same.
Same thing, Savory and sweet
386
00:21:36,700 --> 00:21:38,000
lovey.
Mmm.
387
00:21:38,500 --> 00:21:42,200
All right David Dave.
Okay, Scott being, uh-huh.
388
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,400
We got ourselves a radish
carving, Mexico.
389
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:47,700
Look at that picture.
Yeah, this picture.
390
00:21:47,900 --> 00:21:50,800
Okay, sweet.
Okay.
391
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:55,300
Each year in the Mexican city of
a waka waka the day the days
392
00:21:55,300 --> 00:21:58,700
before Christmas or marked
within event known as the night
393
00:21:58,700 --> 00:22:02,100
of the radishes.
Sadly, it's not a low-budget 80s
394
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:06,700
horror movie sounds like a
vegetable carving competition.
395
00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:10,000
Participants get remarkably
creative with everything from
396
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,200
nativity scenes too.
Fantastical monsters on display
397
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,300
as thousands of visitors to send
on the city to witness the fun
398
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:17,600
amazing.
Yeah.
399
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,000
It's Using the radishes in
question are grown specially in
400
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,000
pumped with chemicals to grow
immense, but it all seems a bit
401
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,800
futile as The Works.
Can only be displayed for a few
402
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,700
hours before the veggies.
Whether away preservative that's
403
00:22:31,700 --> 00:22:33,600
true, getting.
That's right.
404
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:39,600
Because preservatives, right?
So, if you're not tuning in on
405
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:45,500
the video portion, Kevin did
show an image of the radish
406
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,900
sculpture, which was Mazing if
there's one big radishes, like I
407
00:22:49,900 --> 00:22:52,700
think it's multiple, right?
Has to be multiple radishes but
408
00:22:52,700 --> 00:22:56,800
it's like it's almost like a
Cthulhu or like some kind of
409
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,000
octopus.
Monster girl will long.
410
00:23:00,100 --> 00:23:02,000
Yeah screaming.
Cool.
411
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,700
Yep.
Will make sure that this is all
412
00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:08,500
on links on the system.
Yeah, this next one is freaking
413
00:23:08,900 --> 00:23:11,700
scary.
Okay Roy, take it at, take it
414
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:15,200
away in Newfoundland.
They have something called
415
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,500
mummering who User groups of
friends will Don masks.
416
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:23,700
Look at the mask.
If you can see the video part of
417
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:25,800
this, okay?
Go outside.
418
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:30,800
Visiting various homes, though
they may seem frightening to us.
419
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:37,100
The mass are part of the Carol's
traditional where it's creepy,
420
00:23:37,100 --> 00:23:39,600
right?
So once inside the mummer's will
421
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,100
perform a song short plays or
jokes in exchange for the hosts
422
00:23:43,300 --> 00:23:47,300
Hospitality.
I sometimes complain about
423
00:23:47,300 --> 00:23:50,500
carolers But I'm gladly take too
many courses of Jingle Bells
424
00:23:50,500 --> 00:23:55,700
over a spooky Mass visitors,
like wonder how this kind of
425
00:23:55,700 --> 00:24:02,500
stuff gets started by creeps the
homemade element of these masks.
426
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,800
Yeah, just yeah, it's well and
yes, with the red and the run
427
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,100
the eyes and and call like the
murmuring, like that's a movie.
428
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:16,300
Yeah, the mother is tuned in
God.
429
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,200
All right.
So Portugal.
430
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:23,800
A Portuguese households, always
set a few extra plates around
431
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,800
the table on Christmas day, so
that the spirits of the Dead can
432
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:32,100
join them for the annual Feast,
they make extra food for the
433
00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:37,700
spirits and take them.
So they have a successful year.
434
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:43,800
Now, I'm going to give you guys
a little personal family tidbit,
435
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:48,400
okay, let's hear it.
So used to be the long the
436
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,500
longest time.
I'm I think she still does it to
437
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:54,300
this day.
My mother will always leave a
438
00:24:54,308 --> 00:24:58,300
tiny little bit of food on her
plate and like, it doesn't
439
00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:01,700
matter.
Like, she could not be full or
440
00:25:01,700 --> 00:25:05,200
full, but like, there's always
like something left on the
441
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,400
plane, like a bite.
Hmm.
442
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:13,800
And it could be that she was
leaving food for the dead.
443
00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:16,900
Oh my gosh.
She goes, she's like Portuguese.
444
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:20,100
Mmm, she's not no.
Oh gosh.
445
00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:23,300
I wish we could ask her, I know
it would be great if she was
446
00:25:23,300 --> 00:25:28,400
here right now.
Well maybe next another, that's
447
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:29,800
another podcast I guess.
Okay.
448
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,500
She's the one that taught me
that.
449
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Preservatives or bad?
How can I do the whole thing?
450
00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:44,500
Okay, so we're moving on to
Belgium and France.
451
00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:47,800
My friends.
We're actually talking about
452
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,500
now, you're going to have to
forgive me because I'm not very
453
00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:53,400

00:25:59,900 --> 00:26:01,300
Okay.
Sorry to interrupt.
456
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,400
Why do all of these weird?
Things involve beating children
457
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,300
scaring children.
All of that.
458
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,000
Okay honestly yeah kids are
assholes.
459
00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:18,400
I think of the assholes you have
to hold them accountable for
460
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,800
something you're like oh you

Little floggings like immediate,

So when you guys hear the
phrase, Santa's Little Helper.

to dispense any punishment to
any misbehaving children.
487
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,700
Oh my God.
So bad for kids.
488
00:27:43,700 --> 00:27:47,100
I know poor kids be good or else
you're gonna get fucked over
489
00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:48,100
live here.
Nothing.
490
00:27:48,100 --> 00:27:51,300
I'm being.
Yeah, you'll get beaten David.
491
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:54,000
Let's hear the next one.
Okay, this one's from the former
492
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,100
Yugoslavia, okay.
Yeah, I was tying up Smothers
493
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,300
again.
I mean it's all like BDSM shit,
494
00:28:01,300 --> 00:28:05,500
dude, it's yeah crazy.
Okay, residents of the former
495
00:28:05,500 --> 00:28:09,200
Yugoslavia would tie mother's
two chairs and sing the song
496
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,000
Mother's Day Mother's Thursday,
what will you pay to get away?
497
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,400
Can you sing that?
God, I don't know the tune, but
498
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:22,900
would you go to get away?
Yeah, those are good.
499
00:28:22,900 --> 00:28:24,800
I like me a.
I have a knife to I'd imagine
500
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,600
demanding that.
She give them presents in
501
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,900
exchange for untying her.
Yeah.
502
00:28:30,900 --> 00:28:32,200
What kind of presence is should
give me?
503
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,200
Well to Yugoslavia sounds.
So Mom, we're going to tell you
504
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,000
up later.
You will have to beg to be
505
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:45,000
released.
She just nods weird.
506
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,100
Okay, Roy stuff, what do you got
something good for us reproduce?
507
00:28:49,100 --> 00:28:55,800
Yes, Frau porchetta is based off
the Pagan goddess of the Harvest
508
00:28:56,500 --> 00:29:02,600
Legends, often portray this
slivery, which as a cohort of
509
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:07,300
Krampus, she'll reward good
children, but she also inspects
510
00:29:07,300 --> 00:29:12,700
the feast being served She will
cut open the belly of anyone who
511
00:29:12,700 --> 00:29:15,400
has been lazy and stuff them
with straw.
512
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,000
Uh-huh.
What do you think of that?
513
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,400
That what?
Well, at least they've linked it
514
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,900
back to Krampus.
So we desire connection.
515
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,800
Here's the question.
Here's the question.
516
00:29:27,300 --> 00:29:32,600
So as Frau porchetta is, she
just like an insistent foodie?
517
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,700
Like she takes being a foodie to
like another level, right?
518
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,100
Doesn't she?
Oh, I'm gonna watch and see what
519
00:29:39,100 --> 00:29:41,000
you guys are serving and if it's
not To my liking.
520
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,700
I'm going to slice your stomach
open.
521
00:29:43,700 --> 00:29:46,300
She rewards I guess glazing
right.
522
00:29:46,700 --> 00:29:50,000
But so sure was a good children.
Oh yeah.
523
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,700
And then you get stuck a straw.
I mean it's a random names.
524
00:29:53,700 --> 00:29:59,500
Very random God has our
tradition.
525
00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:02,400
Okay well that would be then a
grease.
526
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:06,300
Yes Christmas goblins and
backed.
527
00:30:06,700 --> 00:30:10,300
So the geez see this is why.
Why?
528
00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:24,700
Calot cowlick, I like to hunt
the real 30 Iraq rui rui are
529
00:30:24,700 --> 00:30:29,000
malevolent goblins who enter
homes through Yule logs to wreak
530
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,700
havoc and hurt children.
Once again, I know there are two
531
00:30:33,700 --> 00:30:35,600
methods of, keeping them out of
your home.
532
00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:38,000
Okay, keep it in the Yule Log
lit.
533
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:43,500
So it's too hot for the evil
gnomes to enter, mmm or Placing
534
00:30:43,500 --> 00:30:47,100
a colander near the Yule Log to
confuse the goblins.
535
00:30:48,700 --> 00:30:52,200
So apparently this thing can't
count past three, so they end up
536
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,800
getting stuck counting the holes
for our, I've heard of that,
537
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,900
they do that all over the place
where you have to try to count
538
00:30:58,900 --> 00:31:01,500
whole confuse them.
Yeah, by counting.
539
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,600
Their obsessive, like obsessive
compulsive disorder OCD.
540
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,000
Okay, maybe these Christmas
goblins need to like, I don't
541
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,600
know, get medicated or
something.
542
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,500
So you gotta have a colander
nearby.
543
00:31:12,900 --> 00:31:16,800
Make sure I have a colander and
you got to keep those Yule logs.
544
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,800
Burning golly Oh God, there's
another horse.
545
00:31:19,900 --> 00:31:24,800
Oh no, so we're actually moving
on to Bavaria rather the it's
546
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:29,400
the straw Devils mmm-hmm, which
is actually, another example of
547
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:34,100
a pagan tradition, that evolved
evolved into a traditional
548
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,700
Christmas tradition, right?
Like so a lot of these
549
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,400
Traditions first, start off as
Pagan ones and then they're
550
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,800
like, oh, looks like the pagans
are having a lot of fun.
551
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:45,900
Come and be a part of our
church.
552
00:31:45,900 --> 00:31:48,400
So we're going to take this on
as Christian.
553
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,400
Um, so a group of Bavarian then
converted into beating children,
554
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,300
right.
By the way, we're going to beat
555
00:31:55,300 --> 00:32:02,500
your ill-behaved children as
well, so the a group of variance
556
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:05,400
actually dressed as strong
monsters and run through the
557
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,700
streets.
Intentionally scaring their
558
00:32:07,700 --> 00:32:10,800
neighbors, the participants
actually enjoy ranking the
559
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,800
worst.
Strong monster.
560
00:32:13,700 --> 00:32:16,700
So, I guess it's kind of like a
Bavarian version of our crazy,
561
00:32:16,700 --> 00:32:20,200
like, ugly, Christmas sweater.
So wonder what makes us strong
562
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,500
monster worse.
Yeah.
563
00:32:23,500 --> 00:32:26,900
Is it like less or more?
Yeah.
564
00:32:26,900 --> 00:32:28,800
Yeah.
Like you're putting more time
565
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,300
into it or less time into it.
Right?
566
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:33,000
It's a good question.
Interesting.
567
00:32:33,500 --> 00:32:34,900
I think it's just the scariest
draw.
568
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,900
Yeah that's true.
Scares me think of a barrier.
569
00:32:37,900 --> 00:32:40,600
That means something very
specific for sure.
570
00:32:40,900 --> 00:32:43,000
Right.
Okay.
571
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,100
What do we got Dave?
Okay so we're going to the Czech
572
00:32:45,100 --> 00:32:47,500
Republic.
So very adjacent dish.
573
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,300
Okay?
Throwing a shoe to get a
574
00:32:49,308 --> 00:32:52,900
husband, so this could be taken
as advisors suppose if it works,
575
00:32:52,900 --> 00:32:55,900
okay.
Hey, single women single woman
576
00:32:55,900 --> 00:32:58,600
in the Czech Republic will turn
their back to the front door and
577
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,000
throw the shoe behind them.
If the shoe lands with its toes
578
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,300
pointing towards the house, the
women will be married within a
579
00:33:05,308 --> 00:33:07,300
year.
Mmm, this comic, the garter belt
580
00:33:07,300 --> 00:33:09,300
thing.
No, I'm okay.
581
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,400
I'm okay.
It'll yeah, the book.
582
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:12,700
Exactly.
The same thing.
583
00:33:12,900 --> 00:33:17,500
Except it's a shoe.
I'm Brides.
584
00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:19,700
What do you got?
Anything fun.
585
00:33:19,700 --> 00:33:23,400
Well in America, we have the
Festivus for the rest of us.
586
00:33:25,700 --> 00:33:28,600
So maybe we do have a few
strange Traditions.
587
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,100
Here we do in America, we do
festive.
588
00:33:31,100 --> 00:33:34,600
Us was introduced in an episode
of Seinfeld by the character of
589
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:39,100
freight Cadenza, the holiday
features, aluminum poles and
590
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:43,400
events such as an airing of
grievances Feats of Strength and
591
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,800
labeling.
A Festivus Miracles.
592
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,700
The made-up holiday has Third, a
following and is celebrated on
593
00:33:50,700 --> 00:33:54,600
December 23rd.
You can even find Festivus poles
594
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,700
on sale if you know, where to
look.
595
00:33:56,700 --> 00:34:00,100
So I have to tell you, I got we
don't write and I never never
596
00:34:00,100 --> 00:34:02,200
watched Seinfeld.
You haven't watched Seinfeld.
597
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,300
Oh my God, it's so funny.
I mean, you do ever so this
598
00:34:05,300 --> 00:34:06,900
takes me to this point.
Okay.
599
00:34:08,300 --> 00:34:10,600
We don't know of this tradition.
Yes.
600
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,199
And so we're reading all of
these other traditions in these
601
00:34:14,199 --> 00:34:16,100
other countries.
And I wonder if those people are
602
00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:17,800
like, what are you talking
about?
603
00:34:17,900 --> 00:34:21,300
Yeah, what.
Yeah, I've never heard of you.
604
00:34:22,300 --> 00:34:24,300
I don't beat children.
Yeah.
605
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,500
Like there's a light only one
fire.
606
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,100
Yeah, that's true.
That does.
607
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:30,400
That's a very that's a very good
point if you haven't if you
608
00:34:30,408 --> 00:34:32,900
haven't heard of it then.
Yeah it's not it's just not
609
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,699
right.
But okay.
610
00:34:34,699 --> 00:34:38,800
So for Festivus it's what's
really funny is I think the
611
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,699
Airing of Grievances.
So like you just like say What
612
00:34:41,699 --> 00:34:45,100
kind of like issues you have
with people and you can have the
613
00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:47,699
floor, but you can take the
floor for like, a couple of
614
00:34:47,699 --> 00:34:50,400
minutes and you're like, I have
some real fucking problems with
615
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,400
you.
Like you did this and this, and
616
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,400
this, and no one can say
anything, which is pretty funny.
617
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,600
So it's like, gives you the
ability to just like tell
618
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,700
someone fucking off and like,
Feats of Strength, it's like,
619
00:35:01,700 --> 00:35:05,200
you get drunk and fucking try to
fight like, like wrestle people
620
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,300
and then the labeling.
Do you remember the labeling of
621
00:35:08,300 --> 00:35:10,500
the Festivus Miracles?
I can't say that.
622
00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:12,300
I do see you guys.
Watch the show.
623
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,700
Fuck, yeah, you're very much
aware of what's.
624
00:35:14,700 --> 00:35:17,700
This is George Costanza?
His dad actually created it.
625
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,500
Okay, so yeah, yeah, Frank
Costanza.
626
00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:24,200
So he, you know, show, yeah, and
the show.
627
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:29,200
So he is trying to create his
own, his own, like holiday
628
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:33,200
tradition, and basically it's
just he's like, kind of an angry
629
00:35:33,300 --> 00:35:36,300
like loud, dude.
So it's like an, it's an excuse
630
00:35:36,300 --> 00:35:39,900
to be an asshole, really during
the holidays, and he has like a
631
00:35:39,908 --> 00:35:42,100
pole instead instead of a A
tree.
632
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,600
So you have to like go to the
the bother of like putting a
633
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,600
tree with like ornaments and
shit up.
634
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,100
It's just like a fucking pole.
It's pretty funny.
635
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,800
Yeah.
But we're already past it.
636
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,000
We're past celebrating it so I
guess we're supposed to
637
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,600
celebrate yesterday, 23rd.
Yeah.
638
00:35:58,900 --> 00:36:01,100
Snooze, you lose.
Okay, because you lose.
639
00:36:01,900 --> 00:36:03,100
Let's hear the next one.
Kevin.
640
00:36:03,100 --> 00:36:04,600
Okay.
Let's do what I like the
641
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,200
picture.
Pretty sexy have us.
642
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,200
We have a story afterwards about
that.
643
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,100
Okay, so Finland Christmas
saunas for the dead.
644
00:36:13,700 --> 00:36:19,200
So it's common for most humans
in Finland thinned Lynde to have
645
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,100
a sauna because of frigid
weather.
646
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,400
I think we've all have seen
that, and yes, it's so shouldn't
647
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,400
be too surprising.
That finished families.
648
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,600
Enjoy a spa together on
Christmas.
649
00:36:28,700 --> 00:36:31,300
Morning.
What's slightly earier?
650
00:36:31,300 --> 00:36:35,000
Is that the keep the sauna warm
after Sunset and sunset?
651
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,300
In case the deceased relatives
stopped by for a visit?
652
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,500
Oh, interesting.
So they got to keep because the
653
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:46,100
sun is such a thing then.
Yeah, they've got to keep a hot
654
00:36:46,100 --> 00:36:48,600
sauna going for their dead
relatives.
655
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,700
Well, it is, it's like, it's a
total tradition just there.
656
00:36:51,700 --> 00:36:55,100
So Dave and I, you know, not my
Munna, we just travel, but we
657
00:36:55,100 --> 00:36:57,600
did, we just traveled.
I hate when people talk like
658
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,100
that but like, honestly, We did
so, whatever.
659
00:37:00,700 --> 00:37:08,800
But we just traveled to Germany
and I didn't realize how big the
660
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:13,800
sauna tradition there is because
I've only gone to the sauna like
661
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,900
maybe at a spa, right?
If you're going for a spa day,
662
00:37:16,300 --> 00:37:19,700
also at the gym, like the YMCA,
and it's like separate.
663
00:37:19,700 --> 00:37:22,500
So it's like the woman's son or
whatever dry sauna right?
664
00:37:22,500 --> 00:37:25,800
Not steam room.
So, you know, it's not a big
665
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,000
deal.
Well, there, everyone gets naked
666
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,800
in them.
And I got so weirded out because
667
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,000
it's like men and women.
Everyone's in there.
668
00:37:35,100 --> 00:37:38,100
And I was like, oh my God I
think our culture, right totally
669
00:37:38,100 --> 00:37:40,100
different culture.
Like it's whatever it's like
670
00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:43,800
whatever like people are laying
naked on the because it's not
671
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,300
about sex, it's about being
lasting.
672
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,000
Yeah.
And being in the sauna sweating
673
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,300
and stuff like that, it's like a
healthy thing, right?
674
00:37:50,300 --> 00:37:52,500
And I like had, I don't know
David.
675
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:54,900
You can kind of tell me like
what the I had.
676
00:37:54,900 --> 00:37:56,500
Like, I'm kind of panic.
I'm like, I don't know if I can
677
00:37:56,500 --> 00:37:58,500
do this.
This is like too much.
678
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,500
Much.
So I went to the woman's one
679
00:38:00,500 --> 00:38:03,700
first but Dave was like, oh,
well, I feel weird being a
680
00:38:03,700 --> 00:38:05,300
single dude, going in there
alone.
681
00:38:05,300 --> 00:38:08,900
So, yeah, I suppose, yeah, we
eventually got their Merit of
682
00:38:08,900 --> 00:38:12,100
Americans are really uptight.
I was so uptight and we are.
683
00:38:12,100 --> 00:38:15,600
We are really actually like not
uptight but I was in that moment
684
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,600
course, yes, that's just not our
culture.
685
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,700
It's not our culture, but it was
like nice.
686
00:38:19,700 --> 00:38:21,300
When we eventually like when we
did.
687
00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:24,500
I was like, who fucking cares?
I was like, what did you do?
688
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,300
I did I Found the courage?
And honestly, I just like laid
689
00:38:27,300 --> 00:38:29,500
down, like, in the song.
I was like just don't look at
690
00:38:29,500 --> 00:38:30,700
anyone.
Just don't look at me like that.
691
00:38:30,700 --> 00:38:32,100
I had my eyes closed the whole
time.
692
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,300
Not very relaxing.
You are relaxed.
693
00:38:34,300 --> 00:38:36,100
I was laying down.
Yeah it was totally relaxed, you
694
00:38:36,100 --> 00:38:37,800
are.
Yeah I'm like just don't if you
695
00:38:37,808 --> 00:38:41,300
don't look at anyone thing about
just yeah just like fucking
696
00:38:41,300 --> 00:38:43,900
sweat and like don't look at
anyone and you're fine.
697
00:38:44,100 --> 00:38:45,900
Yeah, fucking Sweat.
Just well.
698
00:38:45,900 --> 00:38:46,700
Yeah.
That's right.
699
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:48,400
That's right.
Can't do that.
700
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,700
Maybe like these fucking
Americans.
701
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:53,500
Do it anywhere.
The like, route.
702
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,100
I'm Dave.
I think I'm out of here.
703
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,000
Someone could have helped.
Did you know where you were
704
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,900
coming?
I know.
705
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,600
Yeah.
All right.
706
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,300
Bummer and a half.
We'll take care of it.
707
00:39:07,300 --> 00:39:10,900
After the episodes Trump.
So the next one that we have
708
00:39:11,100 --> 00:39:13,000
wait, whose turn is it?
Yes, yours mine.
709
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,200
I thought so.
Okay, so it's Greenland it's
710
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,500
actually daish like can I get
some more wine?
711
00:39:19,700 --> 00:39:25,100
So Greenland's a dining on
kiviak or like a delicious
712
00:39:25,100 --> 00:39:29,000
decomposing bird and seal meat
My God.
713
00:39:29,100 --> 00:39:32,800
So, like haggis, you know, just
like discuss back.
714
00:39:33,300 --> 00:39:37,400
So, Quebec is a traditional dish
and Greenland, where I'd, I dead
715
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:44,900
Ox, which is a bird are placed
inside a hollowed-out carcass of
716
00:39:44,900 --> 00:39:47,000
a seal.
The seal is actually left to
717
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,700
ferment for seven months
underneath a rock.
718
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,500
So, you know, when you guys are
here tomorrow, you know, because
719
00:39:54,500 --> 00:39:56,500
Christmas.
So just bring this dish next
720
00:39:56,500 --> 00:39:59,600
time that someone complains
musical it Early eat this.
721
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:04,900
The eat it for sure they eat it.
Yeah, absolutely disturbing,
722
00:40:04,900 --> 00:40:09,100
it's so gross but they eat it.
Because guess what?
723
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,300
What some of us, you know?
Like, weird shit.
724
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,800
I mean, have you ever had what
is it in?
725
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,300
The Philippines.
Yes, I think that's the
726
00:40:22,300 --> 00:40:27,300
Philippines and they eat the
birds that are not born, yet the
727
00:40:27,300 --> 00:40:30,500
egg.
Yeah, the fetus, like, egg the
728
00:40:30,500 --> 00:40:33,200
egg, with the bird that's
growing in the Shell.
729
00:40:33,300 --> 00:40:34,000
Dude.
No.
730
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,300
Have, you know, he'll know what
is it called?
731
00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:41,700
Like a balut egg or something?
Yes, I have not eaten it.
732
00:40:42,100 --> 00:40:45,900
I can't even if I think that
because I'm pretty open minded
733
00:40:45,900 --> 00:40:48,500
as far as food and stuff, goes
not saunas, but food.
734
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:54,800
I'm pretty open minded about it.
I think that I would want to
735
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,400
say, I try it but I just
couldn't get past it.
736
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,900
I could I don't think I could.
It's the feathers for me.
737
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:06,300
Who is next?
Yes.
738
00:41:08,100 --> 00:41:12,700
Oh, it's a German German German,
because Varian bullshit, I think
739
00:41:12,700 --> 00:41:15,200
on the subway, every other
person is dressed like this.
740
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,000
So now I finally understand.
We're aha Germany.
741
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:22,700
So this is about Belsnickel the
sadist, I first heard of
742
00:41:22,700 --> 00:41:24,700
Belsnickel on an episode of The
Office.
743
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,300
Interesting.
I thought it was so strange.
744
00:41:27,300 --> 00:41:30,000
It must have been made up but
he's actually common in Germany
745
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,300
and even in Pennsylvania, dutch
communities.
746
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,600
Belsnickel is used to scare
children into good behavior.
747
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:43,100
You don't say he's an old
children, he's an old man with
748
00:41:43,100 --> 00:41:45,200
dirty Furs and law and a long
beard.
749
00:41:45,500 --> 00:41:49,000
He raps on the doors with a or
windows with a wooden stick.
750
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,900
Makes the children sing songs
for him date or answer
751
00:41:51,900 --> 00:41:53,200
questions.
Mmm.
752
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,900
He then tosses candles on the
floor and if the child at the
753
00:41:56,900 --> 00:41:59,900
child leaps.
Oh, sorry, candies.
754
00:42:00,700 --> 00:42:03,600
He tosses candies on the floor
and have the child leaps to the
755
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,200
sweets too quickly.
You'll hit them with a stick too
756
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:10,300
fast.
So you fast child as Dwight from
757
00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:13,500
the office said, he's kind of
like Santa, except dirty and
758
00:42:13,500 --> 00:42:16,400
worse.
So you saw a lot of people
759
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,200
dressed up like this guy that I
was alive.
760
00:42:19,300 --> 00:42:25,500
Why because he is kind of creepy
to and these I'm sorry these
761
00:42:25,500 --> 00:42:29,600
Germans are.
They can do some freaky shit.
762
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:30,700
There aren't just some weird
shit.
763
00:42:30,700 --> 00:42:34,000
I will say yeah it's very, very
dark there.
764
00:42:34,100 --> 00:42:38,800
So we got really bored and sad.
So of course, all of these
765
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,100
fucking like all of these
Traditions would come up.
766
00:42:42,500 --> 00:42:45,600
Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna show
try to show this weird Picture
767
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:50,100
This dude with this sack, it
looks like a dirty slut Klaus
768
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:54,700
from the office.
Yeah, terrible.
769
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:55,800
So bad.
All right.
770
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,700
Roy stirs, what you got me in
Germany again?
771
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,500
Oh, you don't say.
So this one is Nik.
772
00:43:02,500 --> 00:43:05,200
Roope rocks.
Good job.
773
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,200
Wow.
Great.
774
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:11,400
Is a companion of Saint
Nicholas, but he's far from
775
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:12,700
Jolly.
Okay.
776
00:43:13,100 --> 00:43:18,800
Like Belsnickel, he exits to
scare children into good
777
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,700
behavior.
If you don't say he has
778
00:43:20,700 --> 00:43:23,400
children.
If they can pray and if they can
779
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,800
heal provide them with delicious
gingerbread and fruits creepy.
780
00:43:27,900 --> 00:43:33,000
If not, he will beat them with a
bag of Ashes ashes of what like
781
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:38,300
ashes of dead children or what
burnt at the stake.
782
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,800
So he's basically bad cop to
Santa's good, cop.
783
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,300
Oh, yeah.
Oaks dude, ashes.
784
00:43:46,300 --> 00:43:51,800
That's the random ashes ashes.
We All Fall Down that was creepy
785
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:57,200
because off-key okay, Slovakia
throwing putting at the ceiling.
786
00:43:57,900 --> 00:44:01,000
So a poppy seed and honey bread
pudding is a traditional
787
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,800
Christmas dish at the Slovak
areas of Europe, at the end of
788
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,000
the meal, the patriarch of the
family will take a spoonful of
789
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,800
the pudding and fling it toward
the ceiling and the more the
790
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,800
putting sticks to the ceiling.
The better the Harvest will be
791
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,700
the following year and a ceiling
covered in pudding is the sign
792
00:44:18,700 --> 00:44:20,800
of a bad.
Bountiful year.
793
00:44:20,900 --> 00:44:22,500
Wow.
I just think it was a sign of a
794
00:44:22,500 --> 00:44:27,500
lot of cleaning that needs to
happen or like maggots that are
795
00:44:27,500 --> 00:44:32,400
going to be crawling.
Just so the next one we have is
796
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:37,300
actually in Iceland and it's the
Christmas witch who eats
797
00:44:37,300 --> 00:44:42,500
children her name is Maria.
She's the actually, the basis of
798
00:44:42,500 --> 00:44:44,700
many Christmas myths and
Iceland.
799
00:44:45,100 --> 00:44:48,300
This giant s not just normal
woman giant.
800
00:44:48,300 --> 00:44:51,400
S has an satiable appetite for
human flesh.
801
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,500
She is bound to only eat
children who must behave.
802
00:44:55,900 --> 00:44:58,500
Kevin showing a picture.
Yeah, it's so bad.
803
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,100
She leaves the mountains.
Excuse me.
804
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,400
During Christmas time.
She actually leaves the
805
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,600
mountains to seek out the prey
of bad children.
806
00:45:07,100 --> 00:45:11,900
So ultimately Christmas must be

00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,900
Mmm, so if you get annoyed by
The 12 Days of Christmas,
839
00:46:59,900 --> 00:47:03,500
imagine having 13, gnomes, who
come into your home during
840
00:47:03,500 --> 00:47:06,000
Christmas to steal your
belongings.
841

But not so malevolent.
844
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,900
She could she doesn't eat anyone
right.
845
00:47:18,500 --> 00:47:22,500
Either gifts for good children
or potatoes for bad ones.
846
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,000
Each lad has his own distinct
personality.
847
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,600
So get what's-her-name Gilly,
how do you pronounce that Grill?
848
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,000
Guerrilla rila so greatly its

850
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:43,200

I mean isn't that kind of like
Snow White and the Seven
853
00:47:51,500 --> 00:47:54,100

00:47:54,100 --> 00:47:58,400
that's like kind of its like the
cursor it's like the upside down
855
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,500
for maybe it's the upside down
for Snow White.
856
00:48:01,500 --> 00:48:04,500
These kind of seem at least
based on this image pretty
857
00:48:04,500 --> 00:48:07,100
similar to some of the other
Lads we are talking about.
858
00:48:07,100 --> 00:48:10,100

They are they the same thing?
There's no way.
87
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,500
There's no way with that one.
Okay.

You can create it.
138
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,900

My mom's crawling around on the
floor, picking up trash.
156
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,700
So this episode is
Christmas-themed, of course.
157
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:14,300

So we're going to do bizarre.
Stuff like traditions and things
163
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,600
that people do all over the all
of the world for the world and
164
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,900

Like, you know, some of the
crazy Christmas traditions that

00:09:45,100 --> 00:09:48,600
you might have might like for
you.
169
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600
It's just something you've done
every single year, but right,
170
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,300
it's really fucking weird,
right?
171
00:09:53,300 --> 00:09:55,900
Okay, I do, you guys have any
Christmas traditions that you
172
00:09:55,900 --> 00:09:58,200
have done like that.
You guys have that might be
173
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,900
considered.
Ginger.
174
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,600
Yeah.
Do you Roy do you guys, you
175
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,900
know, one of the traditions we
actually are going to be talking
176
00:10:05,900 --> 00:10:07,400
about.
So when it comes up what will
177
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,600
say it.
But aside from that, I don't
178
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,500
know, I guess I was talking to
your mom earlier and she was
179
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:16,300
saying that that you guys do
open up a present Christmas Eve,
180
00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:18,100
right?
One present, one present.
181
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:20,300
Yeah, we do that too, that's how
I grew up.
182
00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:22,900
Yeah, it was is opening up one
present a Christmas Eve.
183
00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:26,100
Yeah, typically they were
pajamas but now as an adult, I
184
00:10:26,108 --> 00:10:29,000

including these really nice.
185
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:30,700

Yes.
Both right?
189
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:52,600

the same tradition all of us do?
190
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,200

pooping log in Catalonia.
241
00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:51,300
Yeah, so for some inexplicable
inexplicable reason catalans,
242
00:13:51,300 --> 00:13:56,500
observe not one, but two To
based Christmas traditions that
243
00:13:56,500 --> 00:13:59,800
will put a smile on your face.
Eat feces, right?
244
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,100
Yeah.
Excuse me species.
245
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,800
They says.
So, the first is the CAG, Nur
246
00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:09,500
roughly.
Meaning the pooper figuring of
247
00:14:09,500 --> 00:14:14,200
pantsless a peasant, that's
laying a cable that's knocked,
248
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,800
to a nativity scenes.
Alongside Jesus is fucking
249
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,400
crazy.
So, Jesus, Mary.
250
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,400
And Joseph in the pooper, right?
The second one isn't a conga.
251
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,800
Theo or the pooping log, which
is a small stick in, with a
252
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,800
smile on its face that lives on
a dinner table and December and
253
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,300
it's fed every day with nuts.
Yeah, I'm sure not gonna feed
254
00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:37,200
the pooper.
It's corn.
255
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,800
No doesn't say corn.
But sweets and kept warm with a
256
00:14:40,808 --> 00:14:43,900
blanket and then gets beaten
with sticks on Christmas Eve, to
257
00:14:43,900 --> 00:14:46,800
poop out the presence.
Really, the, the kids stuck out
258
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:52,800
and pray for presents.
Well, Papa gives beat the fed
259
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,900
and poop.
Boop, do you get the presents
260
00:14:55,900 --> 00:14:59,000
out of the FED poop?
But you know what, here's the
261
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,100
thing you want it, like kids,
what are they doing during you
262
00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:05,600
know, Christmas eating a
shitload of sweets, you kind of
263
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,300
want them to get some of that
energy out, beat up, eating a
264
00:15:10,300 --> 00:15:15,000
beating, a poop log.
God crazy.
265
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,500
Alright Dave, what do you got
for us?
266
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:19,500
So I have the Yule Lads of
Iceland.
267
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,100
Okay, so Icelandic kids don't
just get one Santa Claus but
268
00:15:23,100 --> 00:15:25,800
they get 13.
Mischievous trolls roaming the
269
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,000
country in the Fortnight Before
Christmas like Snow White seven
270
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,800
doors.
Each of these 13 year olds
271
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:40,900
Lander has his own personality
including nice, this actually
272
00:15:40,900 --> 00:15:43,800
sounds very attractive to me.
I'll go away sniffer.
273
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,800
Hmm, Boone liquor.
Nice sausage.
274
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,900
Swiper candle.
Stealer also would apply the
275
00:15:49,900 --> 00:15:52,300
curd gobbler heard, but she's
that.
276
00:15:52,300 --> 00:15:55,900
Yeah, that's yeah.
And the ominously named window
277
00:15:55,900 --> 00:15:59,500
peeper, each takes turns
visiting children who leave
278
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:02,500
their shoot who lead their shoes
in their bedroom window.
279
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,100
Dropping off pressey, this must
be presents presents.
280
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:11,100
Excessive precedents for the
good kids, and the writing and
281
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:12,900
writing potatoes for the bad
ones.
282
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,000
So it's like, that's a rotten
potato.
283
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,400
Yeah.
Why are all the so erotic
284
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,800
sounding?
Is it just me?
285
00:16:19,900 --> 00:16:25,000
And like, yeah.
Come on, come on.
286
00:16:26,900 --> 00:16:30,100
You fucker gobbler nickname
window.

00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:36,000
Petersburg websites before
crazy.
288
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,600
All right babe.
What do you what do you got for
289
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,200
us?
My name is Mary Lord Wales.
290
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:47,300
Hmm and this is a Welsh culture
is acient and steeped in
291
00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:48,800
Superstition.
That's true.
292
00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:51,800
Okay, it's not surprising,
therefore, that residents of
293
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,400
South Wales.
Enjoy parade.
294
00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:58,100
Ting and undead horse around
their villages, to celebrate the
295
00:16:58,100 --> 00:17:03,000
happiest time of year.
MMA West sailing display, dating
296
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,500
back to probably Celtic times
the custom involves draping a
297
00:17:07,500 --> 00:17:12,500
white sheet, over a pole with a
horse skull attached and
298
00:17:12,500 --> 00:17:16,200
knocking on townsfolk's.
Doors creepy, no doubt.
299
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,900
Giving them the Fright of their
lives.
300
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:23,400
The party carrying The Morbid.
Effigy then sing.
301
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:26,400
To the residents who are
supposed to sing back before,
302
00:17:26,500 --> 00:17:30,500
relinquishing some food or
drink, there is some debate
303
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:34,000
about whether Mary Lord
translates to Holy Mary or gray
304
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,400
mare, but either seems equally
creepy to me.
305
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,200
Yeah, I agree.
I totally agree with you.
306
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,000
Oh, so they go around and just
like, oh, hey knock on your
307
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000
door.
So you see that creepy horse
308
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,500
had?
I mean, Yeah, it's super creepy.
309
00:17:52,500 --> 00:17:54,900
What does this come from?
Where the hell did I get all
310
00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:57,200
these horse heads?
I was there like a mass killing
311
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,100
of horses.
Right?
312
00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:00,900
Before Christmas to complete.
Probably given from France,
313
00:18:00,900 --> 00:18:02,100
right?
They eat a lot of horse out
314
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:03,000
there.
That's very true.
315
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,800
Have you guys ever tried horse?
Is that a thing do?
316
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,500
They totally, do you got it
worse?
317
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,900
I've never tried it before.
I want to try it.
318
00:18:09,900 --> 00:18:12,800
I mean had reindeer.
When I was in Norway, I don't
319
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:13,800
know.
Nothing.
320
00:18:13,900 --> 00:18:18,300
It was good.
I know I did a reindeer.
321
00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:20,800
Yeah, I think that they They
have.
322
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:26,800
So I think there's a place here
in Denver that has a reindeer.
323
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,800
Sausage, has Biker Jim's.
Don't they have reindeer?
324
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,300
Sausage is, yeah, it's like kind
of gave me like, like deer,
325
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,600
which makes sense.
Yeah, it doesn't sense.
326
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,400
Sounds gross.
Well, it sounds good.
327
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:42,600
Alright, that's I'm up.
I think.
328
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,500
Yeah, you're up.
It's all you.
329
00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:47,200
Okay, we're going to talk about
Japan.
330
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,500
And they love themselves from
Kentucky, Fried Chicken, mmm.
331
00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:54,700
So I yeah, I know, it's pretty
fucking good.
332
00:18:56,300 --> 00:18:58,800
So this is the greatest
Christmas thing marketing.
333
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:03,000
Try absence Coca-Cola.
Honestly popularize the fat
334
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,500
jolly red-suited image of Santa
Claus as we all know and love
335
00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:09,500
and Christmas isn't huge in
Japan but ridiculously
336
00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:15,100
successful KFC, add in the 1970
70s established his tradition of
337
00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:20,400
families tucking into Going into
buckets of Fried Chicken on
338
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,200
December 25th so they literally
go out to KFC.
339
00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:28,700
That's their tradition.
My buckets of KFC and that is
340
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:32,400
their December 25th dinner.
That's crazy.
341
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,500
I love it.
Uh-huh.
342
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:36,700
That sounds really good.
I freaking love KFC.
343
00:19:36,700 --> 00:19:38,800
Hmm.
Like I could eat it every day.
344
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,300
What do you like the most the
original recipe?
345
00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:47,400
Original recipe like the dark
meat like the leg or the thigh.
346
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,700
Oh my God, love.
I love it.
347
00:19:49,700 --> 00:19:52,200
I yeah, fuck.
Yeah, I'm hungry.
348
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,900
I'm hungry.
But I am eating these great
349
00:19:54,900 --> 00:19:56,000
Christmas cookies.
Yeah.
350
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,100
Good job Dave.
Yeah.
351
00:19:57,100 --> 00:20:00,400
Way to go cook says but I saw
me.
352
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,500
Thank you.
Yeah, the next one we have is La
353
00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:07,100
Belle Befana, and Italy.
So Italian Christmases are
354
00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:11,400
actually celebrated with a wine
drinking which so we're all wine
355
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,000
drinking.
I don't know.
356
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,500
Are we could we?
We're not witches yet but we
357
00:20:16,500 --> 00:20:18,700
aspire to be.
No, I'm a Warlock.
358
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:21,700
But it's true.
You need one black mass and then
359
00:20:21,700 --> 00:20:24,400
you're in.
Okay, Daniel would know.
360
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,600
I, okay, so it's that the wine
drinking which is not your
361
00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:30,500
alcoholic.
Auntie, from the doggy side of
362
00:20:30,500 --> 00:20:35,900
the family, it's actually 12
Days After Santa's visit, which
363
00:20:35,900 --> 00:20:37,400
is when she comes.
It's on the Epiphany.
364
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,200
The eve of the Epiphany January
5th families, across Italy,
365
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:45,100
actually, leave out.
A glass of the VMO and a plate
366
00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:49,500
of sausages for La Belle Befana.
Who pops down the chimney on her
367
00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:51,700
broomstick?
They're Savory Santa.
368
00:20:51,900 --> 00:20:55,600
I, this is my kind of like,
honestly, like can I just be
369
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,500
her?
I love sausages.
370
00:20:57,500 --> 00:20:59,300
I love wine.
I'm fucking down.
371
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:05,000
So, according to Fork, lure the
old lady, who knocked back an
372
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,100
invitation from the three wise,
men to witness the birth of
373
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:10,200
Christ.
That's who she wasn't and was so
374
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,400
devastated about, she was
actually devastated about
375
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,000
missing it.
So she spends every
376
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,300
Christmastime gliding around the
country.
377
00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:20,000
Searching for babies, Jesus all
We're not sure why she thinks
378
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,100
she'll find him in any way and
Doling out presents to good,
379
00:21:24,100 --> 00:21:26,000
kids, and coal to the naughty
ones.
380
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,200
Huh?
Hmm.
381
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,800
Okay.
So they like their coal.
382
00:21:29,100 --> 00:21:31,000
Yeah.
You like that.
383
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,300
They're Savory.
Because I'm savoring your
384
00:21:33,300 --> 00:21:34,100
favorite.
Yeah.
385
00:21:34,100 --> 00:21:36,700
Same.
Same thing, Savory and sweet
386
00:21:36,700 --> 00:21:38,000
lovey.
Mmm.
387
00:21:38,500 --> 00:21:42,200
All right David Dave.
Okay, Scott being, uh-huh.
388
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,400
We got ourselves a radish
carving, Mexico.
389
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:47,700
Look at that picture.
Yeah, this picture.
390
00:21:47,900 --> 00:21:50,800
Okay, sweet.
Okay.
391
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:55,300
Each year in the Mexican city of
a waka waka the day the days
392
00:21:55,300 --> 00:21:58,700
before Christmas or marked
within event known as the night
393
00:21:58,700 --> 00:22:02,100
of the radishes.
Sadly, it's not a low-budget 80s
394
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:06,700
horror movie sounds like a
vegetable carving competition.
395
00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:10,000
Participants get remarkably
creative with everything from
396
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,200
nativity scenes too.
Fantastical monsters on display
397
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,300
as thousands of visitors to send
on the city to witness the fun
398
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:17,600
amazing.
Yeah.
399
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,000
It's Using the radishes in
question are grown specially in
400
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,000
pumped with chemicals to grow
immense, but it all seems a bit
401
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,800
futile as The Works.
Can only be displayed for a few
402
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,700
hours before the veggies.
Whether away preservative that's
403
00:22:31,700 --> 00:22:33,600
true, getting.
That's right.
404
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:39,600
Because preservatives, right?
So, if you're not tuning in on
405
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:45,500
the video portion, Kevin did
show an image of the radish
406
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,900
sculpture, which was Mazing if
there's one big radishes, like I
407
00:22:49,900 --> 00:22:52,700
think it's multiple, right?
Has to be multiple radishes but
408
00:22:52,700 --> 00:22:56,800
it's like it's almost like a
Cthulhu or like some kind of
409
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,000
octopus.
Monster girl will long.
410
00:23:00,100 --> 00:23:02,000
Yeah screaming.
Cool.
411
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,700
Yep.
Will make sure that this is all
412
00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:08,500
on links on the system.
Yeah, this next one is freaking
413
00:23:08,900 --> 00:23:11,700
scary.
Okay Roy, take it at, take it
414
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:15,200
away in Newfoundland.
They have something called
415
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,500
mummering who User groups of
friends will Don masks.
416
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:23,700
Look at the mask.
If you can see the video part of
417
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:25,800
this, okay?
Go outside.
418
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:30,800
Visiting various homes, though
they may seem frightening to us.
419
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:37,100
The mass are part of the Carol's
traditional where it's creepy,
420
00:23:37,100 --> 00:23:39,600
right?
So once inside the mummer's will
421
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,100
perform a song short plays or
jokes in exchange for the hosts
422
00:23:43,300 --> 00:23:47,300
Hospitality.
I sometimes complain about
423
00:23:47,300 --> 00:23:50,500
carolers But I'm gladly take too
many courses of Jingle Bells
424
00:23:50,500 --> 00:23:55,700
over a spooky Mass visitors,
like wonder how this kind of
425
00:23:55,700 --> 00:24:02,500
stuff gets started by creeps the
homemade element of these masks.
426
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,800
Yeah, just yeah, it's well and
yes, with the red and the run
427
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,100
the eyes and and call like the
murmuring, like that's a movie.
428
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:16,300
Yeah, the mother is tuned in
God.
429
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,200
All right.
So Portugal.
430
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:23,800
A Portuguese households, always
set a few extra plates around
431
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,800
the table on Christmas day, so
that the spirits of the Dead can
432
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:32,100
join them for the annual Feast,
they make extra food for the
433
00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:37,700
spirits and take them.
So they have a successful year.
434
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:43,800
Now, I'm going to give you guys
a little personal family tidbit,
435
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:48,400
okay, let's hear it.
So used to be the long the
436
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,500
longest time.
I'm I think she still does it to
437
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:54,300
this day.
My mother will always leave a
438
00:24:54,308 --> 00:24:58,300
tiny little bit of food on her
plate and like, it doesn't
439
00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:01,700
matter.
Like, she could not be full or
440
00:25:01,700 --> 00:25:05,200
full, but like, there's always
like something left on the
441
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,400
plane, like a bite.
Hmm.
442
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:13,800
And it could be that she was
leaving food for the dead.
443
00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:16,900
Oh my gosh.
She goes, she's like Portuguese.
444
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:20,100
Mmm, she's not no.
Oh gosh.
445
00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:23,300
I wish we could ask her, I know
it would be great if she was
446
00:25:23,300 --> 00:25:28,400
here right now.
Well maybe next another, that's
447
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:29,800
another podcast I guess.
Okay.
448
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,500
She's the one that taught me
that.
449
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Preservatives or bad?
How can I do the whole thing?
450
00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:44,500
Okay, so we're moving on to
Belgium and France.
451
00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:47,800
My friends.
We're actually talking about
452
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,500
now, you're going to have to
forgive me because I'm not very
453
00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:53,400
good.
Forgive us all okay, okay.
454
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:58,800
Perry a futon hard.
It's a flogger of bad children.
455
00:25:59,900 --> 00:26:01,300
Okay.
Sorry to interrupt.
456
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,400
Why do all of these weird?
Things involve beating children
457
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,300
scaring children.
All of that.
458
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,000
Okay honestly yeah kids are
assholes.
459
00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:18,400
I think of the assholes you have
to hold them accountable for
460
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,800
something you're like oh you
want to get some presents?
461
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,300

465
00:26:31,900 --> 00:26:33,500
I mean we still do that today,

466
00:26:33,500 --> 00:26:35,100
Like Elf on the Shelf?
Yeah.
467
00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:40,000
Oh the owl was watching you and
they're going to report back to

00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,800
Sam.
And it says you're a bad kid.
469
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,100
Then.
I mean, I guess it's the same
470
00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:47,000
kind of thing, isn't it is.
Yeah.
471
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,000
Little floggings like immediate,
you know, Bobby's immediate
472
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,400
that's true.
It's not, it's not like a later
473
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,800
on.
You'll get some call maybe.
474
00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:57,500
So when you guys hear the
phrase, Santa's Little Helper.
475
00:26:57,900 --> 00:27:00,800
What do you guys think of elves?
Elves, man?
476
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:05,800
Who flogs bad, right, I think of
the symptoms.
477
00:27:06,300 --> 00:27:09,500
Oh yeah, yeah yeah.
Santa's Little Helper was the
478
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:11,700
Greyhound Good dog.
Yeah, that's true.
479
00:27:11,700 --> 00:27:14,300
That's a good that's a good
answer while in Belgium and
480
00:27:14,300 --> 00:27:16,600
France st.
Nicholas as sometimes known as

00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:17,400
oh.
Yeah.
482
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:22,400
Pere Noel and his assistant is
Pierre Foo tarred.
483
00:27:22,500 --> 00:27:26,700
And the legend says that PR food
tard was a Gruff Innkeeper, who
484
00:27:26,700 --> 00:27:32,000
killed his wife and children as
punishment for his crime.
485
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,600
He's forced to be with Santa's
assistant who travels with Santa
486
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,200
to dispense any punishment to
any misbehaving children.
487
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,700
Oh my God.
So bad for kids.
488
00:27:43,700 --> 00:27:47,100
I know poor kids be good or else
you're gonna get fucked over
489
00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:48,100

I'm being.
Yeah, you'll get beaten David.
491
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:54,000
Let's hear the next one.
Okay, this one's from the former
492
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,100
Yugoslavia, okay.
Yeah, I was tying up Smothers
493
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,300
again.
I mean it's all like BDSM shit,
494
00:28:01,300 --> 00:28:05,500
dude, it's yeah crazy.
Okay, residents of the former
495
00:28:05,500 --> 00:28:09,200
Yugoslavia would tie mother's
two chairs and sing the song
496
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,000
Mother's Day Mother's Thursday,
what will you pay to get away?
497
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,400
Can you sing that?
God, I don't know the tune, but
498
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:22,900
would you go to get away?
Yeah, those are good.
499
00:28:22,900 --> 00:28:24,800
I like me a.
I have a knife to I'd imagine
500
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,600
demanding that.
She give them presents in
501
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,900
exchange for untying her.
Yeah.
502
00:28:30,900 --> 00:28:32,200
What kind of presence is should
give me?
503
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,200
Well to Yugoslavia sounds.
So Mom, we're going to tell you
504
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,000
up later.
You will have to beg to be
505
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:45,000
released.
She just nods weird.
506
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,100
Okay, Roy stuff, what do you got
something good for us reproduce?
507
00:28:49,100 --> 00:28:55,800
Yes, Frau porchetta is based off
the Pagan goddess of the Harvest
508
00:28:56,500 --> 00:29:02,600
Legends, often portray this
slivery, which as a cohort of
509
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:07,300
Krampus, she'll reward good
children, but she also inspects
510
00:29:07,300 --> 00:29:12,700
the feast being served She will
cut open the belly of anyone who
511
00:29:12,700 --> 00:29:15,400
has been lazy and stuff them
with straw.
512
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,000
Uh-huh.
What do you think of that?
513
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,400
That what?
Well, at least they've linked it
514
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,900
back to Krampus.
So we desire connection.
515
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,800
Here's the question.
Here's the question.
516
00:29:27,300 --> 00:29:32,600
So as Frau porchetta is, she
just like an insistent foodie?
517
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,700
Like she takes being a foodie to
like another level, right?
518
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,100
Doesn't she?
Oh, I'm gonna watch and see what
519
00:29:39,100 --> 00:29:41,000
you guys are serving and if it's
not To my liking.
520
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,700
I'm going to slice your stomach
open.
521
00:29:43,700 --> 00:29:46,300
She rewards I guess glazing
right.
522
00:29:46,700 --> 00:29:50,000
But so sure was a good children.
Oh yeah.
523
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,700
And then you get stuck a straw.
I mean it's a random names.
524
00:29:53,700 --> 00:29:59,500
Very random God has our
tradition.
525
00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:02,400
Okay well that would be then a
grease.
526
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:06,300
Yes Christmas goblins and
backed.
527
00:30:06,700 --> 00:30:10,300
So the geez see this is why.
Why?
528
00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:24,700
Calot cowlick, I like to hunt
the real 30 Iraq rui rui are
529
00:30:24,700 --> 00:30:29,000
malevolent goblins who enter
homes through Yule logs to wreak
530
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,700
havoc and hurt children.
Once again, I know there are two
531
00:30:33,700 --> 00:30:35,600
methods of, keeping them out of
your home.
532
00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:38,000
Okay, keep it in the Yule Log
lit.
533
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:43,500
So it's too hot for the evil
gnomes to enter, mmm or Placing
534
00:30:43,500 --> 00:30:47,100
a colander near the Yule Log to
confuse the goblins.
535
00:30:48,700 --> 00:30:52,200
So apparently this thing can't
count past three, so they end up
536
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,800
getting stuck counting the holes
for our, I've heard of that,
537
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,900
they do that all over the place
where you have to try to count
538
00:30:58,900 --> 00:31:01,500
whole confuse them.
Yeah, by counting.
539
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,600
Their obsessive, like obsessive
compulsive disorder OCD.
540
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,000
Okay, maybe these Christmas
goblins need to like, I don't
541
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,600
know, get medicated or
something.
542
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,500
So you gotta have a colander
nearby.
543
00:31:12,900 --> 00:31:16,800
Make sure I have a colander and
you got to keep those Yule logs.
544
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,800
Burning golly Oh God, there's
another horse.
545
00:31:19,900 --> 00:31:24,800
Oh no, so we're actually moving
on to Bavaria rather the it's
546
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:29,400
the straw Devils mmm-hmm, which
is actually, another example of
547
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:34,100
a pagan tradition, that evolved
evolved into a traditional
548
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,700
Christmas tradition, right?
Like so a lot of these
549
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,400
Traditions first, start off as
Pagan ones and then they're
550
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,800
like, oh, looks like the pagans
are having a lot of fun.
551
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:45,900
Come and be a part of our
church.
552
00:31:45,900 --> 00:31:48,400
So we're going to take this on
as Christian.
553
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,400
Um, so a group of Bavarian then
converted into beating children,
554
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,300
right.
By the way, we're going to beat
555
00:31:55,300 --> 00:32:02,500
your ill-behaved children as
well, so the a group of variance
556
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:05,400
actually dressed as strong
monsters and run through the
557
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,700
streets.
Intentionally scaring their
558
00:32:07,700 --> 00:32:10,800
neighbors, the participants
actually enjoy ranking the
559
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,800
worst.
Strong monster.
560
00:32:13,700 --> 00:32:16,700
So, I guess it's kind of like a
Bavarian version of our crazy,
561
00:32:16,700 --> 00:32:20,200
like, ugly, Christmas sweater.
So wonder what makes us strong
562
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,500
monster worse.
Yeah.
563
00:32:23,500 --> 00:32:26,900
Is it like less or more?
Yeah.
564
00:32:26,900 --> 00:32:28,800
Yeah.
Like you're putting more time
565
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,300
into it or less time into it.
Right?
566
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:33,000
It's a good question.
Interesting.
567
00:32:33,500 --> 00:32:34,900
I think it's just the scariest
draw.
568
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,900
Yeah that's true.
Scares me think of a barrier.
569
00:32:37,900 --> 00:32:40,600
That means something very
specific for sure.
570
00:32:40,900 --> 00:32:43,000
Right.
Okay.
571
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,100
What do we got Dave?
Okay so we're going to the Czech
572
00:32:45,100 --> 00:32:47,500
Republic.
So very adjacent dish.
573
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,300
Okay?
Throwing a shoe to get a
574
00:32:49,308 --> 00:32:52,900
husband, so this could be taken
as advisors suppose if it works,
575
00:32:52,900 --> 00:32:55,900
okay.
Hey, single women single woman
576
00:32:55,900 --> 00:32:58,600
in the Czech Republic will turn
their back to the front door and
577
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,000
throw the shoe behind them.
If the shoe lands with its toes
578
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,300
pointing towards the house, the
women will be married within a
579
00:33:05,308 --> 00:33:07,300
year.
Mmm, this comic, the garter belt
580
00:33:07,300 --> 00:33:09,300
thing.
No, I'm okay.
581
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,400
I'm okay.
It'll yeah, the book.
582
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:12,700
Exactly.
The same thing.
583
00:33:12,900 --> 00:33:17,500
Except it's a shoe.
I'm Brides.
584
00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:19,700
What do you got?
Anything fun.
585
00:33:19,700 --> 00:33:23,400
Well in America, we have the
Festivus for the rest of us.
586
00:33:25,700 --> 00:33:28,600
So maybe we do have a few
strange Traditions.
587
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,100
Here we do in America, we do
festive.
588
00:33:31,100 --> 00:33:34,600
Us was introduced in an episode
of Seinfeld by the character of
589
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:39,100
freight Cadenza, the holiday
features, aluminum poles and
590
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:43,400
events such as an airing of
grievances Feats of Strength and
591
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,800
labeling.
A Festivus Miracles.
592
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,700
The made-up holiday has Third, a
following and is celebrated on
593
00:33:50,700 --> 00:33:54,600
December 23rd.
You can even find Festivus poles
594
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,700
on sale if you know, where to
look.
595
00:33:56,700 --> 00:34:00,100
So I have to tell you, I got we
don't write and I never never
596
00:34:00,100 --> 00:34:02,200
watched Seinfeld.
You haven't watched Seinfeld.
597
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,300
Oh my God, it's so funny.
I mean, you do ever so this
598
00:34:05,300 --> 00:34:06,900
takes me to this point.
Okay.
599
00:34:08,300 --> 00:34:10,600
We don't know of this tradition.
Yes.
600
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,199
And so we're reading all of
these other traditions in these
601
00:34:14,199 --> 00:34:16,100
other countries.
And I wonder if those people are
602
00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:17,800
like, what are you talking
about?
603
00:34:17,900 --> 00:34:21,300
Yeah, what.
Yeah, I've never heard of you.
604
00:34:22,300 --> 00:34:24,300
I don't beat children.
Yeah.
605
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,500
Like there's a light only one
fire.
606
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,100
Yeah, that's true.
That does.
607
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:30,400
That's a very that's a very good
point if you haven't if you
608
00:34:30,408 --> 00:34:32,900
haven't heard of it then.
Yeah it's not it's just not
609
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,699
right.
But okay.
610
00:34:34,699 --> 00:34:38,800
So for Festivus it's what's
really funny is I think the
611
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,699
Airing of Grievances.
So like you just like say What
612
00:34:41,699 --> 00:34:45,100
kind of like issues you have
with people and you can have the
613
00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:47,699
floor, but you can take the
floor for like, a couple of
614
00:34:47,699 --> 00:34:50,400
minutes and you're like, I have
some real fucking problems with
615
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,400
you.
Like you did this and this, and
616
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,400
this, and no one can say
anything, which is pretty funny.
617
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,600
So it's like, gives you the
ability to just like tell
618
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,700
someone fucking off and like,
Feats of Strength, it's like,
619
00:35:01,700 --> 00:35:05,200
you get drunk and fucking try to
fight like, like wrestle people
620
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,300
and then the labeling.
Do you remember the labeling of
621
00:35:08,300 --> 00:35:10,500
the Festivus Miracles?
I can't say that.
622
00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:12,300
I do see you guys.
Watch the show.
623
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,700
Fuck, yeah, you're very much
aware of what's.
624
00:35:14,700 --> 00:35:17,700
This is George Costanza?
His dad actually created it.
625
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,500
Okay, so yeah, yeah, Frank
Costanza.
626
00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:24,200
So he, you know, show, yeah, and
the show.
627
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:29,200
So he is trying to create his
own, his own, like holiday
628
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:33,200
tradition, and basically it's
just he's like, kind of an angry
629
00:35:33,300 --> 00:35:36,300
like loud, dude.
So it's like an, it's an excuse
630
00:35:36,300 --> 00:35:39,900
to be an asshole, really during
the holidays, and he has like a
631
00:35:39,908 --> 00:35:42,100
pole instead instead of a A
tree.
632
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,600
So you have to like go to the
the bother of like putting a
633
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,600
tree with like ornaments and
shit up.
634
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,100
It's just like a fucking pole.
It's pretty funny.
635
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,800
Yeah.
But we're already past it.
636
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,000
We're past celebrating it so I
guess we're supposed to
637
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,600
celebrate yesterday, 23rd.
Yeah.
638
00:35:58,900 --> 00:36:01,100
Snooze, you lose.
Okay, because you lose.
639
00:36:01,900 --> 00:36:03,100
Let's hear the next one.
Kevin.
640
00:36:03,100 --> 00:36:04,600
Okay.
Let's do what I like the
641
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,200
picture.
Pretty sexy have us.
642
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,200
We have a story afterwards about
that.
643
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,100
Okay, so Finland Christmas
saunas for the dead.
644
00:36:13,700 --> 00:36:19,200
So it's common for most humans
in Finland thinned Lynde to have
645
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,100
a sauna because of frigid
weather.
646
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,400
I think we've all have seen
that, and yes, it's so shouldn't
647
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,400
be too surprising.
That finished families.
648
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,600
Enjoy a spa together on
Christmas.
649
00:36:28,700 --> 00:36:31,300
Morning.
What's slightly earier?
650
00:36:31,300 --> 00:36:35,000
Is that the keep the sauna warm
after Sunset and sunset?
651
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,300
In case the deceased relatives
stopped by for a visit?
652
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,500
Oh, interesting.
So they got to keep because the
653
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:46,100
sun is such a thing then.
Yeah, they've got to keep a hot
654
00:36:46,100 --> 00:36:48,600
sauna going for their dead
relatives.
655
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,700
Well, it is, it's like, it's a
total tradition just there.
656
00:36:51,700 --> 00:36:55,100
So Dave and I, you know, not my
Munna, we just travel, but we
657
00:36:55,100 --> 00:36:57,600
did, we just traveled.
I hate when people talk like
658
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,100
that but like, honestly, We did
so, whatever.
659
00:37:00,700 --> 00:37:08,800
But we just traveled to Germany
and I didn't realize how big the
660
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:13,800
sauna tradition there is because
I've only gone to the sauna like
661
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,900
maybe at a spa, right?
If you're going for a spa day,
662
00:37:16,300 --> 00:37:19,700
also at the gym, like the YMCA,
and it's like separate.
663
00:37:19,700 --> 00:37:22,500
So it's like the woman's son or
whatever dry sauna right?
664
00:37:22,500 --> 00:37:25,800
Not steam room.
So, you know, it's not a big
665
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,000
deal.
Well, there, everyone gets naked
666
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,800
in them.
And I got so weirded out because
667
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,000
it's like men and women.
Everyone's in there.
668
00:37:35,100 --> 00:37:38,100
And I was like, oh my God I
think our culture, right totally
669
00:37:38,100 --> 00:37:40,100
different culture.
Like it's whatever it's like
670
00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:43,800
whatever like people are laying
naked on the because it's not
671
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,300
about sex, it's about being
lasting.
672
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,000
Yeah.
And being in the sauna sweating
673
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,300
and stuff like that, it's like a
healthy thing, right?
674
00:37:50,300 --> 00:37:52,500
And I like had, I don't know
David.
675
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:54,900
You can kind of tell me like
what the I had.
676
00:37:54,900 --> 00:37:56,500
Like, I'm kind of panic.
I'm like, I don't know if I can
677
00:37:56,500 --> 00:37:58,500
do this.
This is like too much.
678
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,500
Much.
So I went to the woman's one
679
00:38:00,500 --> 00:38:03,700
first but Dave was like, oh,
well, I feel weird being a
680
00:38:03,700 --> 00:38:05,300
single dude, going in there
alone.
681
00:38:05,300 --> 00:38:08,900
So, yeah, I suppose, yeah, we
eventually got their Merit of
682
00:38:08,900 --> 00:38:12,100
Americans are really uptight.
I was so uptight and we are.
683
00:38:12,100 --> 00:38:15,600
We are really actually like not
uptight but I was in that moment
684
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,600
course, yes, that's just not our
culture.
685
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,700
It's not our culture, but it was
like nice.
686
00:38:19,700 --> 00:38:21,300
When we eventually like when we
did.
687
00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:24,500
I was like, who fucking cares?
I was like, what did you do?
688
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,300
I did I Found the courage?
And honestly, I just like laid
689
00:38:27,300 --> 00:38:29,500
down, like, in the song.
I was like just don't look at
690
00:38:29,500 --> 00:38:30,700
anyone.
Just don't look at me like that.
691
00:38:30,700 --> 00:38:32,100
I had my eyes closed the whole
time.
692
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,300
Not very relaxing.
You are relaxed.
693
00:38:34,300 --> 00:38:36,100
I was laying down.
Yeah it was totally relaxed, you
694
00:38:36,100 --> 00:38:37,800
are.
Yeah I'm like just don't if you
695
00:38:37,808 --> 00:38:41,300
don't look at anyone thing about
just yeah just like fucking
696
00:38:41,300 --> 00:38:43,900
sweat and like don't look at
anyone and you're fine.
697
00:38:44,100 --> 00:38:45,900
Yeah, fucking Sweat.
Just well.
698
00:38:45,900 --> 00:38:46,700
Yeah.
That's right.
699
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:48,400
That's right.
Can't do that.
700
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,700
Maybe like these fucking
Americans.
701
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:53,500
Do it anywhere.
The like, route.
702
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,100
I'm Dave.
I think I'm out of here.
703
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,000
Someone could have helped.
Did you know where you were
704
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,900
coming?
I know.
705
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,600
Yeah.
All right.
706
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,300
Bummer and a half.
We'll take care of it.
707
00:39:07,300 --> 00:39:10,900
After the episodes Trump.
So the next one that we have
708
00:39:11,100 --> 00:39:13,000
wait, whose turn is it?
Yes, yours mine.
709
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,200
I thought so.
Okay, so it's Greenland it's
710
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,500
actually daish like can I get
some more wine?
711
00:39:19,700 --> 00:39:25,100
So Greenland's a dining on
kiviak or like a delicious
712
00:39:25,100 --> 00:39:29,000
decomposing bird and seal meat
My God.
713
00:39:29,100 --> 00:39:32,800
So, like haggis, you know, just

00:39:33,300 --> 00:39:37,400
So, Quebec is a traditional dish
and Greenland, where I'd, I dead

00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:44,900
Ox, which is a bird are placed
inside a hollowed-out carcass of
716
00:39:44,900 --> 00:39:47,000
a seal.
The seal is actually left to
717
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,700
ferment for seven months
underneath a rock.
718
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,500
So, you know, when you guys are

723
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,300
What some of us, you know?
Like, weird shit.
724
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,800
I mean, have you ever had what
is it in?
725
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,300
The Philippines.
Yes, I think that's the
726
00:40:22,300 --> 00:40:27,300
Philippines and they eat the
birds that are not born, yet the
727
00:40:27,300 --> 00:40:30,500
egg.
Yeah, the fetus, like, egg the
728
00:40:30,500 --> 00:40:33,200
egg, with the bird that's
growing in the Shell.
729
00:40:33,300 --> 00:40:34,000
Dude.
No.
730
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,300
Have, you know, he'll know what
is it called?
731
00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:41,700
Like a balut egg or something?
Yes, I have not eaten it.
732
00:40:42,100 --> 00:40:45,900
I can't even if I think that
because I'm pretty open minded
733
00:40:45,900 --> 00:40:48,500
as far as food and stuff, goes
not saunas, but food.
734
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:54,800
I'm pretty open minded about it.
I think that I would want to
735
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,400
say, I try it but I just
couldn't get past it.
736
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,900
I could I don't think I could.
It's the feathers for me.
737
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:06,300
Who is next?
Yes.
738
00:41:08,100 --> 00:41:12,700
Oh, it's a German German German,
because Varian bullshit, I think
739
00:41:12,700 --> 00:41:15,200
on the subway, every other
person is dressed like this.
740
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,000
So now I finally understand.
We're aha Germany.
741
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:22,700
So this is about Belsnickel the
sadist, I first heard of
742
00:41:22,700 --> 00:41:24,700
Belsnickel on an episode of The
Office.
743
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,300
Interesting.
I thought it was so strange.
744
00:41:27,300 --> 00:41:30,000
It must have been made up but
he's actually common in Germany
745
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,300
and even in Pennsylvania, dutch
communities.
746
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,600
Belsnickel is used to scare
children into good behavior.
747
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:43,100
You don't say he's an old
children, he's an old man with
748
00:41:43,100 --> 00:41:45,200
dirty Furs and law and a long
beard.
749
00:41:45,500 --> 00:41:49,000
He raps on the doors with a or
windows with a wooden stick.
750
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,900
Makes the children sing songs
for him date or answer
751
00:41:51,900 --> 00:41:53,200
questions.
Mmm.
752
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,900
He then tosses candles on the
floor and if the child at the
753
00:41:56,900 --> 00:41:59,900
child leaps.
Oh, sorry, candies.
754
00:42:00,700 --> 00:42:03,600
He tosses candies on the floor
and have the child leaps to the
755
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,200
sweets too quickly.
You'll hit them with a stick too
756
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:10,300
fast.
So you fast child as Dwight from
757
00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:13,500
the office said, he's kind of
like Santa, except dirty and
758
00:42:13,500 --> 00:42:16,400
worse.
So you saw a lot of people
759
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,200
dressed up like this guy that I
was alive.
760
00:42:19,300 --> 00:42:25,500
Why because he is kind of creepy
to and these I'm sorry these
761
00:42:25,500 --> 00:42:29,600
Germans are.
They can do some freaky shit.
762
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:30,700
There aren't just some weird
shit.
763
00:42:30,700 --> 00:42:34,000
I will say yeah it's very, very
dark there.
764
00:42:34,100 --> 00:42:38,800
So we got really bored and sad.
So of course, all of these
765
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,100
fucking like all of these
Traditions would come up.
766
00:42:42,500 --> 00:42:45,600
Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna show
try to show this weird Picture
767
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:50,100
This dude with this sack, it
looks like a dirty slut Klaus
768
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:54,700
from the office.
Yeah, terrible.
769
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:55,800
So bad.
All right.
770
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,700
Roy stirs, what you got me in
Germany again?
771
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,500
Oh, you don't say.
So this one is Nik.
772
00:43:02,500 --> 00:43:05,200
Roope rocks.
Good job.
773
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,200
Wow.
Great.
774
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:11,400
Is a companion of Saint
Nicholas, but he's far from
775
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:12,700
Jolly.
Okay.
776
00:43:13,100 --> 00:43:18,800
Like Belsnickel, he exits to
scare children into good
777
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,700
behavior.
If you don't say he has
778
00:43:20,700 --> 00:43:23,400
children.
If they can pray and if they can
779
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,800
heal provide them with delicious
gingerbread and fruits creepy.
780
00:43:27,900 --> 00:43:33,000
If not, he will beat them with a
bag of Ashes ashes of what like
781
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:38,300
ashes of dead children or what
burnt at the stake.
782
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,800
So he's basically bad cop to
Santa's good, cop.
783
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,300
Oh, yeah.
Oaks dude, ashes.
784
00:43:46,300 --> 00:43:51,800
That's the random ashes ashes.
We All Fall Down that was creepy
785
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:57,200
because off-key okay, Slovakia
throwing putting at the ceiling.
786
00:43:57,900 --> 00:44:01,000
So a poppy seed and honey bread
pudding is a traditional
787
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,800
Christmas dish at the Slovak
areas of Europe, at the end of
788
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,000
the meal, the patriarch of the
family will take a spoonful of
789
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,800
the pudding and fling it toward
the ceiling and the more the
790
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,800
putting sticks to the ceiling.
The better the Harvest will be
791
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,700
the following year and a ceiling
covered in pudding is the sign
792
00:44:18,700 --> 00:44:20,800
of a bad.
Bountiful year.
793
00:44:20,900 --> 00:44:22,500
Wow.
I just think it was a sign of a
794
00:44:22,500 --> 00:44:27,500
lot of cleaning that needs to
happen or like maggots that are
795
00:44:27,500 --> 00:44:32,400
going to be crawling.
Just so the next one we have is
796
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:37,300
actually in Iceland and it's the
Christmas witch who eats
797
00:44:37,300 --> 00:44:42,500
children her name is Maria.
She's the actually, the basis of
798
00:44:42,500 --> 00:44:44,700
many Christmas myths and
Iceland.
799
00:44:45,100 --> 00:44:48,300
This giant s not just normal
woman giant.
800
00:44:48,300 --> 00:44:51,400
S has an satiable appetite for
human flesh.
801
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,500
She is bound to only eat
children who must behave.
802
00:44:55,900 --> 00:44:58,500
Kevin showing a picture.
Yeah, it's so bad.
803
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,100
She leaves the mountains.
Excuse me.
804
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,400
During Christmas time.
She actually leaves the
805
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,600
mountains to seek out the prey
of bad children.
806
00:45:07,100 --> 00:45:11,900
So ultimately Christmas must be
a very joyous time and Iceland
807
00:45:13,900 --> 00:45:18,100
but you know also if you think
about And I don't know if
808
00:45:18,100 --> 00:45:22,000
they're American fairy tales but
American fairy, tales graemea,
809
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,700
the Grimm's.
Yeah, Grimm's front, if you
810
00:45:23,700 --> 00:45:28,600
really think about them.
Hazel Hansel and gretel's on
811
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,900

kids, hmm.
I mean, it's all.
813
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,600
It's all awful, it's all like
it's everywhere.
814
00:45:38,700 --> 00:45:43,900
Yeah, they start German.
I just did German.
815
00:45:44,100 --> 00:45:46,400
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they are.
German also wondering how
816
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,600
ill-behaved.
Children were, they must have
817
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:54,400
been really bad in Germany,
Cheese Louise.
818
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,400
Okay, David.

We were just talking about
better.
824
00:46:09,500 --> 00:46:13,100
Yeah, I love humans.
The cat will devour anyone on
825
00:46:13,100 --> 00:46:16,500
Christmas Day who has not been
given new clothes as a gift?

00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,200
Iceland.

00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,800
Roy.
You know what this is the last
835
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,500

Yeah, last creepy ass again,

00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:56,700
it's Iceland.
Okay, the Yule Lads of Iceland.
838
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,900
Mmm, so if you get annoyed by
The 12 Days of Christmas,
839
00:46:59,900 --> 00:47:03,500
imagine having 13, gnomes, who
come into your home during
840
00:47:03,500 --> 00:47:06,000
Christmas to steal your
belongings.
841
00:47:06,100 --> 00:47:09,700
Oh, yeah, exactly.
The Yule Lads our sons of gray
842
00:47:09,700 --> 00:47:11,500
area.
All right her again.
843
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,000
Yeah.
But not so malevolent.
844
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,900
She could she doesn't eat anyone
right.
845
00:47:18,500 --> 00:47:22,500
Either gifts for good children
or potatoes for bad ones.
846
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,000
Each lad has his own distinct
personality.
847
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,600
So get what's-her-name Gilly,
how do you pronounce that Grill?
848
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,000
Guerrilla rila so greatly its
children.
849
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:38,800
Yes, she has a cat that lurks in
the mountains and plays a preys
850
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:43,200
upon human flesh.
And then she has 13 boys,
851
00:47:43,300 --> 00:47:47,100
mmm-hmm Who steal your
belongings.
852
00:47:47,500 --> 00:47:51,500
I mean isn't that kind of like
Snow White and the Seven
853
00:47:51,500 --> 00:47:54,100
Dwarves?
I wonder if that's like maybe
854
00:47:54,100 --> 00:47:58,400
that's like kind of its like the
cursor it's like the upside down
855
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,500
for maybe it's the upside down
for Snow White.
856
00:48:01,500 --> 00:48:04,500
These kind of seem at least
based on this image pretty
857
00:48:04,500 --> 00:48:07,100
similar to some of the other
Lads we are talking about.
858
00:48:07,100 --> 00:48:10,100
So we got ourself a window
peeper meat hook which is an
859
00:48:10,100 --> 00:48:11,900
awesome that let's start a band
called.
860
00:48:11,900 --> 00:48:14,500
Yeah meat hook and then we got
the window peeper.
861
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,600
Sausage sausage.
Swiper.
862
00:48:16,700 --> 00:48:19,300
Oh yeah, yeah, they all seem to
be kind of similar.
863
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,400
Yeah.
And what was the goo sucker?
864
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,300
Know what was the other one
spoon?
865
00:48:24,300 --> 00:48:28,000
Liquor spoon liquor sausage?
Swiper.
866
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,000
Yeah.
As opposed to a sausage barrier,
867
00:48:33,700 --> 00:48:37,100
another episode for sure.
Candle stealer.
868
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,000
Yes.
They do look like.
869
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:44,200
Look, look you tell me that's
not the upside down for Snow
870
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:45,700
White.
Oh, it's totally.
871
00:48:45,700 --> 00:48:49,100
It's totally the upside down.
Yeah, I mean they look just like
872
00:48:49,100 --> 00:48:52,200
the dwarves show them.
The gorilla one.
873
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,500

No, this one here.
Second one from the bottom.
875
00:48:57,700 --> 00:48:58,900
On the second.
One from the bank.
876
00:48:58,900 --> 00:49:04,300
That one Oh gosh.
The other one, which made her
877
00:49:04,300 --> 00:49:06,000
look a lot better.
Jeez, Louise.

Oh, girl.
Girl, we need to take you.

00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,000
We need to get you some
self-care, my friend.
881
00:49:15,300 --> 00:49:21,200
No, we say to her, what's that?
Wow, crazy, you're crazy, girl.

Yeah, we do and she's like oh,
