50. Shake Your Tail Feather: La Lechuza and the Dancing Plague of 1518 · Amigos, Afraid!

0:01
In the beginning, there was two friends.
0:07
I was going to say there was a beginning.
0:10
After the beginning there was a middle.
0:14
That's normally called the climax after the beginning.
0:19
In the middle there is the end. The Big Bang.
0:24
The big what? The Frick.
0:27
And that's how babies are made. Thank you.
0:29
You're welcome. Hope you have a great day.
0:32
Bye everyone. Just kidding.
0:35
We're back. We're back.
0:37
Hey guys, welcome back to the the Bailey.
0:41
The Bailey, JB. Guys, I'm drunk.
0:46
Welcome back to the Daily BJ. I'm Brian and he's Jerry.
0:49
No, he's. Jerry, I'm Brian.
0:52
You're Jerry. And this is the Daily BJ Welcome
0:56
back. Happy Thursday.
0:57
Happy Thursday, it's good to be back.
1:00
How you been? Better than last week, because
1:03
last week you were being real weird.
1:05
I was not you, the listener. Oh, that's right, you were
1:08
judging them a little bit. Was I too harsh?
1:12
I think you should be honest with your friends.
1:14
I think you should be honest, but you should also be
1:17
empathetic. I'm very empathetic.
1:21
Not last week. OK, towards them, what was I?
1:24
There was something I was showing dulce or we were, we
1:29
were watching something and I was like, I can't, oh, it was
1:32
the soccer when they were doing the little bit of what, I don't
1:36
know what channel we were watching, but they had a section
1:38
of soccer where they were talking about this couple that
1:41
met in Estadio Azteca and she was Mexican and he was English.
1:45
And they fell in love and then he was crying and then I started
1:48
crying. It was like 2 micheladas deep.
1:52
Yep, Yep, Yep. And I got real sentimental.
1:53
Brought to you by me. Yeah, Jerry Bryant.
1:58
I yes, I like making Micheladas, but yeah, they they met at the
2:02
1986 World Cup, I think. OK.
2:04
Yeah, they wherever they saw the hand of God.
2:06
Thing, yeah, the day you look at Brian knowing all these.
2:09
Guys, I don't know. What's soccer terms?
2:12
Oh my God. It's Jerry.
2:13
Jerry's taught me so much. You guys are here to witness it
2:15
too. Like you sounded so confident.
2:17
Like if, if you, if I would have have not known you before this,
2:20
I would have known like, oh, this guy knows ball.
2:22
Like he knows soccer. He knows football.
2:24
Maradona. Look at that.
2:26
What's really funny is later in the week, last last night or the
2:31
night before. I've been really into watching
2:33
little tutorials on how to do like video effects and stuff a
2:38
little a little T drop right there.
2:41
And one of them was about that moment, they were using it as an
2:44
example, and I was like, that's Maradona and that's the hand of
2:46
God. Crazy.
2:48
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing is random.
2:53
This is a random video you pulled up I'm sure in the World
2:55
Wide Web for a cool video effect which had nothing to do with
2:58
soccer. Nope, that's crazy.
3:01
And my friend Jerry taught me two days before.
3:03
Look at that and that's on retainment.
3:06
If only that game was better. This is the podcast following
3:13
the Mexico loss to England. Two to three to two in a
3:17
heartbreaking defeat when all odds were against the English.
3:23
Mistakes were made and we just couldn't capitalize on those
3:27
mistakes. It was a hard watch.
3:29
I did post on Instagram that at least now the drinking for me is
3:33
over. Nothing is pushing me to
3:36
celebrate every couple days for a game.
3:40
The happy drinking is over, but the sad drinking commences.
3:43
Oh, true, That is what we're doing today.
3:44
We. Both have to all dance,
3:47
remember? Last week where he said, oh,
3:48
let's take shots before we start and we weren't going to tell
3:52
them poops, they didn't take shots.
3:53
What happened? We got a beer.
3:55
Who? Who put those there?
3:57
They were not in my fridge. They were dropped by a messenger
4:01
pigeon. Oh, it wasn't a a Osprey.
4:07
It was close, could have been an osprey.
4:10
But no, this time around it was not a pandy and haliatus.
4:14
It was a pigeon. A rock pigeon.
4:15
Damn legal name. Yeah, I had to drop it after
4:19
that heartbreaking loss. Very hopeful for what's to come.
4:23
This isn't a soccer football podcast, but if you understand
4:27
the struggle and that pain that we felt after watching them
4:29
lose, you know what I'm talking about.
4:31
Take a drink with us. Cheers, cheers, Cheers to the
4:35
Mexican national team. They did great.
4:37
They look great. They're so handsome.
4:41
And fuck FIFA. Overall though, I hope you are
4:45
enjoying your day, cause yeah, besides the game I mean.
4:50
What else has transpired over the past week?
4:55
Saturday I went to the beach. I was a.
4:57
Boys, it was so crowded. It was a holiday and I have not
5:02
been to the beach on 1/4 of July since I was like 7-8.
5:07
So I was not prepared for the amount of people just kind of
5:11
overstepping each other. It's a gay beach, there's not
5:13
that many. So the gays like to congregate.
5:17
So what started with enough room for us to be laid out, real
5:20
comfortable. We're not like brushing
5:22
shoulders with anyone became everyone's towels are just
5:26
touching each other. There is no path to get to the
5:28
water, which honestly is fine because allegedly there was a
5:31
sewage leak in Laguna and that's where we were.
5:35
Yeah, I didn't touch the water. I did it a little bit with my
5:37
toes, but I did not go in. That's touching the water.
5:40
There was, but I didn't go deep. There was this random white man
5:44
who we thought was a lifeguard. No, he was just a man with the
5:48
white savior complex being like, be real careful here.
5:51
If we go in too deep, the water is going to pull you in.
5:54
We were like, Oh my God. OK, thanks.
5:56
Lifeguard walking away. Wait, that's not a lifeguard.
5:59
It was just a man. Who knows, maybe that was a
6:03
sign. No, because the lifeguards were
6:04
further away and they were aggressive about people being
6:08
too far in. And I I support that.
6:09
Yeah, for sure. Because you never know until
6:12
it's too late. Especially with the ocean.
6:14
Yeah, unforgiving. And I can't swim.
6:17
I can't swim. You lost me at the beach when
6:20
you first started, and then you lost me again when you were
6:23
saying everyone was touching towels and everyone was at, you
6:25
know, was there at least bread? Was there bread at Pride?
6:30
Yes, there was. I had a sandwich.
6:31
Wow. Hell yeah, there was bread.
6:33
Nice that that. That a lot of bread, a lot of
6:36
speedos, a lot of swim thongs, whole lot of skin.
6:38
And no path to get to the. Water, no path to the water, dry
6:41
as hell. Sandy well.
6:45
I'm just further convincing me to not go to the beach.
6:47
Thank you. You did it.
6:49
You did it, you did it. I'm going to take Jerry to the
6:52
gay beach. I'm going to scar him.
6:54
I don't know, scar him. It was, it was really like
6:56
liberating so many different body types.
6:58
Yeah, for sure. Shades of colour.
6:59
Of course, that's amazing. That's that's what the beach
7:02
promotes. You know, different lengths of
7:04
towels. I'm sure there's so many, like
7:06
different providers, circumference.
7:09
Of umbrellas. For sure yeah, there's different
7:11
types, you know, different girth, titanium alloy of
7:14
penises. Oh I'm just kidding.
7:17
You lost lost me there again. I I just.
7:21
But someone else's? Add in a drum thingy.
7:27
Enough, enough of me. There is something that you
7:31
really wanted to share with everyone.
7:33
So on that Saturday, we, I felt, I just felt spontaneous.
7:39
I didn't want to be in the house all day.
7:41
I was like, I want to go do something, but just to get out
7:43
of the house, not to celebrate anything, whatever.
7:46
So I found a location. There was a rooftop bar that was
7:50
open. So I put that I, I dropped it in
7:54
the chat and I was like, yo, who's trying to come?
7:56
Let's go. Obviously, Brian.
7:58
Brian was rallied. Yeah, I was not down at first.
8:01
I was like, I'm tired and I got sand between my cheeks.
8:03
I need to chill. After the beach like shout out
8:06
to you because I would have gone home and slept after I ate a
8:09
sandwich with chips. And I got Del Taco.
8:13
Close, very close. So we get to the spot, and I had
8:18
read online that it was free up until 8:00 because then after 8
8:22
there's a cover charge. I'm like, cool, if we get there
8:24
early, we don't have to pay that cover charge.
8:26
We get there, of course, everything's reserved, there's
8:29
no tables. So we get to the standing area.
8:32
Very limited. The bartender was cool.
8:35
Well, the late 1st, the lady, yeah.
8:37
At the at the little stand, the Hostess.
8:40
Yeah, yeah. It's like, are you going to be
8:41
here past 8? That's right.
8:44
And we're like, maybe. Yeah, it depends.
8:48
And then? It's only free until 8.
8:51
After 8 you'll have to pay uncovered.
8:53
Do you want to pay it now? That's where they threw me off.
8:55
I'm like, wait, so we still have to pay it if we want to stay
9:00
and. Yeah, and it's standing room
9:01
only. And we're like, and I think it
9:04
was like, oh, let's check it out.
9:06
I'm like, yeah, let's just check it out for now.
9:07
We'll we'll see. And she's like, OK, cool.
9:09
Like if you decide come back or. Something we can charge you
9:12
later. There you go at.
9:13
Eight. There you go, exactly like that.
9:16
So we walk, we get a drink. Lovely bartender, super nice.
9:20
Not a lot of standing room, very limited.
9:23
Any tables or chairs that were aren't there were already taken
9:25
table. We're already wearing the
9:26
wristbands. Yep.
9:27
So we were like, not the vibes, not like not exactly what we're
9:32
looking for. I'm not going to pay 20 bucks to
9:34
just stay in here. Exactly so if we had gotten a
9:36
table. I would have considered maybe,
9:38
yeah. I would have considered it, but
9:40
because no tables everything, everyone was kind of scavenging
9:43
for a table. Waiting for people to leave.
9:45
Waiting, not realizing that everyone was already
9:47
wristbanded. Wearing a wristband, Yeah.
9:49
And then to pay an additional fee after already being in
9:52
there, we're like, Nah. So we were like.
9:54
Expensive too. They were 20 bucks minimum.
9:57
So everything just kind of added up.
9:58
The vibes weren't there. I'm on us.
10:00
What's right next door, Downtown Disney.
10:03
Woo. And we already paid for parking
10:04
so might as well stay in the area.
10:06
It was across the street. So we're like, you know what,
10:08
let's just go. And we might even see the Disney
10:11
fireworks, which I'm sure are going to be special for it being
10:14
a holiday. So we went, we went to this, we
10:17
walked to the down to Downtown Disney.
10:20
Very chill. A lot of people, of course.
10:22
But they were already kind of waiting around because we left
10:25
right on the dot at 8:00 and they were going to charge us.
10:27
We said, OK, we're leaving. OK, bye.
10:29
Thank you. Yeah, so then walking towards
10:31
Downtown Disney, they had like special areas for viewing.
10:34
So we cross, we do all that stuff, we end up at a
10:36
restaurant, we get seated super, super fast.
10:39
Yeah, 'cause they said standing room at the bar.
10:41
Yeah. Or first come, first serve.
10:42
Exactly. So we found some seasons at the
10:43
bar. Vibes at the bar were
10:45
Immaculate. The food was good.
10:48
I had like a like a breaded. What was it you had fish?
10:52
I had something I had like breaded fish.
10:53
It was like. Stinky.
10:55
It was not stinky. It was really good.
10:57
It was, it was good tilapia or something.
11:00
It was not tilapia. So I got a pizza that was really
11:02
good and then we kept the drinks go and had.
11:05
The drinks and we were just there having a good old time.
11:08
It started with a very, like, iffy rooftop bar, turned into,
11:12
honestly, a pretty chill evening sitting at the bar.
11:16
Disneyland. Practically, yeah.
11:17
'Cause at 9:30 we get off our butts, start walking back to the
11:20
car, make it just in time for the fireworks to start, and we
11:23
get caught up in the viewing area.
11:25
And we get to the climax of the story.
11:27
Yes, if you're thinking this all was leading up to the this part,
11:30
it was we find a spot after pushing through people to get a
11:35
good spot at the fireworks and we're also walking towards the
11:37
car already. So we were like towards that
11:39
like back end of that whole crowd.
11:41
I'm like, I got to take a video of this.
11:43
Yeah. It's beautiful.
11:44
The finale is about. The finale is about to happen.
11:46
As I'm pulling out my phone. The finale starts.
11:49
Perfect seconds. I open my phone, it takes long
11:53
because my phone is garbage and it takes forever to open.
11:56
My camera doesn't work. It finally turns on.
11:58
I hit record. I get the last little sparkle of
12:02
fireworks and it ends. Music stops.
12:06
It's. Over, people are running.
12:09
And Dulce and Brian are laughing at me.
12:12
It was so funny to see in person because, yeah, he's like trying
12:15
to unlock his phone and the fireworks are going off like
12:17
crazy. It's a beautiful show.
12:19
And as soon as he presses record, it's just the embers,
12:24
the relationship. Of the last firework that popped
12:27
off and I was like wow this is very Jerry of me to just get the
12:30
ending literally the ending and not even the ending so that was
12:36
fun and I thought it was a laugh out loud moment we will share
12:39
that video with you so you can see it cause yes it is still on
12:43
my phone we'll. Put it on the Instagram.
12:45
That killed me. But once again, just just a
12:47
huge, you know, I'm, I'm used to it.
12:50
That has been sitting in my head all week.
12:52
It is so funny. But amigo, what is haunting you
12:55
this week? IPhones that don't work, that's
13:00
been killing me every time I need my phone for my camera it
13:04
just never. It never pulls through for me.
13:06
I'm so sad. How are you going to take your
13:07
thirst straps? Exactly.
13:09
We've been Jimming because we we've been Jimming.
13:11
Yes, we have. But what really haunted me this
13:13
week was Lechusas. That sounds so familiar.
13:18
A Cryptid that I'm positive once I start getting into it you will
13:22
remember. But Lechuzas have been part of
13:25
my lore like as a as a kid as a kid since I could remember.
13:31
So I need you to answer carefully.
13:34
OK, like real answers? Or is this when I ask questions
13:38
that I don't let you answer? That's so funny, like a real
13:40
answer. OK, if you're driving down a
13:43
lonely road in South Texas at 2:00 in the morning and you see
13:48
a giant owl land on a fence next to you, are you stopping your
13:53
car? No, because I'm in Texas and I'm
13:57
alone, but you're. Probably armed.
14:01
Oh really? You're open, Carries just.
14:03
Kidding. OK, that changes everything.
14:05
Yes, and I'm investigating. No, you're not armed gun.
14:08
Pointing. At an owl.
14:10
I don't know if it's an owl. That's true.
14:12
I'm gonna go with your first answer because that's a good
14:16
answer. I don't think I'm stopping.
14:18
I don't know what that might be. Yes, a giant owl.
14:21
What is this, DND? Yeah, probably Sounds like
14:23
something Jerry would do. It's probably La La Chusa.
14:29
Before you say wait, doesn't la Chusa just mean owl in Spanish?
14:33
Oh, is that what I'm thinking? Yes.
14:35
Oh, OK. That's what it means.
14:37
La Chusa is owl or bool, which is another way to say owl.
14:41
But in Mexican and Mexican American folklore, La La Chusa
14:45
isn't just any owl, it's one of the most feared supernatural
14:48
creatures across northern Mexico and the Texas Borderlands.
14:53
It's usually described as a witch, a bruja that transforms
14:58
into an enormous owl, sometimes with the face of a woman.
15:02
Glowing eyes. Brian is fist pumping right?
15:05
Now I've heard of this. I have a book about this in my
15:08
bookshelf. Oh, we got to find it.
15:10
And a wingspan way bigger than any real bird should have 15
15:13
feet up to 15 feet. OK, note for the future is
15:17
something that I got caught up. Caught up on Crystal Zoology.
15:21
Thunderbird. A Thunderbird?
15:22
Yeah. You ever heard about that in
15:24
that picture? No, I know there's a.
15:26
Car. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I
15:27
think. Maybe huge bird, like a massive
15:31
like the size of a pterodactyl. But it's a bird.
15:33
Interesting. Is it an albatross?
15:35
A wandering albatross? Anyways, according to the
15:38
legend, it whistles outside your house, follows travellers at
15:43
night and sometimes calls people by name.
15:46
If you answer, you've already made a mistake.
15:51
Question. OK.
15:54
If you heard something outside your window calling your name at
15:56
3:00 in the morning, are you going to check the blinds or
16:00
pretend you didn't hear anything?
16:02
Or are you snoring too loud to hear?
16:04
I realistically I'm snoring too loud.
16:06
I sleep like a log. I would only check if it's a
16:09
voice that seems familiar. OK.
16:11
That's what would get me OK. If for some reason, especially
16:14
now that it's really hot and I've been sleeping in my living
16:16
room because I have AC out there, if I hear Jerry's voice
16:20
calling me, I'm going to at least peeb out the window.
16:23
OK, check your location. That's smart.
16:26
I I think waking up being having having that fog brain, I
16:29
wouldn't even think about checking location.
16:32
I would check the blinds. Yeah, yeah.
16:35
And me too, yeah, I have my glasses on though 'cause you're
16:40
not going to catch me slipping without glasses or contacts
16:44
would be like wait, wait, go put my contacts on.
16:47
Clank, you're dropping everything on the way to the
16:49
bathroom. Come back, it's too late, I can
16:51
see everything now. One thing I found really
16:55
interesting is that the legend isn't exactly the same
16:58
everywhere. Makes sense.
17:00
Regional in Mexico, especially in the northern states.
17:03
La Lechusa is almost always a bruja.
17:06
Stories say she was a woman who practiced witchcraft or made a
17:09
deal with the devil. Sometimes she's out for revenge
17:13
after her child was killed. She's related to.
17:16
Like Yorona. Like Yorona killed her child
17:20
with her children. Oh, that's a that's a good
17:22
theory. And that's write that down.
17:23
Write that down. Yeah, Beef.
17:24
I didn't write the fan fiction. Other versions say she punishes
17:28
people who wronged her family. She's intelligent, personal, and
17:33
supposedly chooses her victims carefully.
17:36
The owl isn't the monster, it's the disguise.
17:39
The witch is the actual monster. But once the legend crossed into
17:43
Texas, especially the Rio Grande Valley and South Texas, it
17:48
started evolving. Texas people still describe the
17:52
giant owl. They do say how my exes live in
17:54
Texas. So what if it's just like a
17:56
scorned woman and this man is just like she's an owl?
18:00
He's pissed, he's just jealous and.
18:02
They're like who exactly? Who exactly?
18:07
But the stories become much more like campfire tales, meant to
18:10
keep people out of trouble. Parents warn kids not to wander
18:14
at night because La Lechusa might snatch them away.
18:17
Adults warned each other not to drive lonely roads after
18:20
midnight or whistle into the darkness.
18:23
That's a common thing when I was doing some research into the a
18:29
Redwood forest like a comic thing I was seeing was people in
18:32
Reddit comments saying don't whistle at night.
18:34
I think that's also a thing for like the Appalachian woods where
18:37
it's like never whistle at night.
18:39
You don't know what you're going to draw out.
18:40
Exactly. I mean, that's what you do with
18:43
a dog whistle. You're going to call your dog.
18:46
Yeah, and the freaking dog man is out.
18:47
There and the Cryptid La La Tusa basically became the
18:52
supernatural neighborhood watch. That's cute.
18:56
The Texas versions also lean into revenge.
18:58
Many stories say the witch targets hunters, drunk drivers,
19:02
unfaithful spouses or people who disrespect elders.
19:05
It's less random monster and more she remembers what you did.
19:10
She's related to the Santa. He knows what you did.
19:12
Oh my God, she's got a list. She buys the data.
19:15
She buys the data from Big North Pole.
19:18
And she's checking it twice. I have a question for you again.
19:21
OK, what's scarier? A monster that attacks
19:23
everybody, E for everyone, or one that specifically knows your
19:28
search history. Oh no, that's targeted.
19:30
I believe in equal opportunity scaring.
19:34
I don't want to be. I don't want to be targeted.
19:37
OK, it's valid. That's valid 'cause I was
19:39
searching. For owl memes on the Internet.
19:43
That's who exactly. Oh my God.
19:45
Not me. Not me.
19:46
It wasn't me. It wasn't me.
19:48
They were Osprey memes I swear. I swear it.
19:52
Some stories get even stranger. Witnesses describe hearing an
19:56
owl whistle before seeing anything.
19:58
Others claim it can imitate the sound of a crying baby to lure
20:02
people outside. If I heard a crying baby in the
20:06
middle of like the forest or campsite, like I'm going to go
20:09
check. But at the same time I know a
20:11
lot of animals sound like humans just based off of their cries.
20:16
Or, you know, exactly I was going to do a hyena laugh and I
20:20
can't. If you've ever heard a real barn
20:23
owl, it's already nightmare fuel.
20:26
Barn owls don't hoot like owls in cartoons.
20:29
Oh, I wish you had a sound effect ready.
20:32
I do, but it's I have to like, open another page and have it
20:34
ready. They make this long, raspy
20:37
screeching hiss that sounds like somebody dragging a violin
20:41
across the sheet metal. If you didn't know what made
20:44
that sound, you'd probably invent a Monster. 2 One detail I
20:49
loved is how different communities added their own
20:51
rules. Some people say never whistle
20:53
back, others say don't make eye contact.
20:56
Some insist that you carry a cross to protect you.
20:59
From the owls or from the lechuza specific?
21:01
From the lechuza in. My mind, I'm thinking you're.
21:04
Like OWL just, well, we'll get to that.
21:06
Me versus the barn owl. We will get to that Brian.
21:08
Thank you. Others swear cursing at it sends
21:11
it away. This one sent me because just
21:13
like seeing a giant owl and just start cursing at it.
21:17
Just start roasting it. Your mom's a hoof.
21:20
Who? And then they get you.
21:22
Oh shit, there's even a tradition that if La La Chusa
21:26
lands on your roof or calls your name three times, somebody in
21:30
your family is going to die. Of course, the thing about
21:34
folklore, it always grows. Every town has another chapter.
21:38
It's almost impossible to find two families that tell you the
21:41
exact same La Chusa story. The details will forever change,
21:46
and the fear will stay the same. Now, something we've talked
21:50
about in previous episodes. Researchers who study South
21:54
Texas folklore point out that La La Chusa isn't just a scary
21:56
monster. The story reflects history,
21:59
culture and survival. These were communities living in
22:02
isolated ranches and farming towns.
22:04
Nights were dark. Roads were dangerous.
22:06
Children could disappear if they wander too far.
22:09
Wild animals are everywhere. The story about a giant which
22:13
owl kept kids close to home after sunset.
22:16
Fear became a safety lesson. The legend survives because
22:19
every generation had someone willing to tell it around the
22:22
fire or at the kitchen table. Our culture loves a lesson and
22:27
stories told in riddles and allegories and nonsense.
22:33
You know what? What I've just dawned on me as
22:35
I'm listening to you talk. A lot of cryptozoology maybe.
22:39
Maybe I'm making a far reaching thought right here that a lot of
22:44
folklore, a lot of myths, is just some a child being told
22:48
what to be afraid of and they never grow out of it.
22:50
Yeah, yeah. And then they pass that along.
22:53
Yeah, the other younger ones. Exactly, that's funny, like
22:57
you're told about Liorona and then you're just fearful of it
23:00
for your entire life 'cause no one told you that it was fake.
23:02
Yup. Fear mongering.
23:06
So now after learning all this, maybe not for the first time,
23:10
have you heard of La La Chusa? Like was that a story told in
23:13
your family or cousins or? I think the name was just
23:16
familiar. And then when you mentioned that
23:17
it's a witch owl, it reminded me that I think Andrew recommended
23:22
me a book where that is a topic. I haven't read the book, but I
23:26
think that might be part of the plot.
23:27
It's like an old witch lady, like a healer, and I think an
23:31
owl's involved. OK, I don't think I mention it
23:34
here, but I think an Aztec mythology, I was meant like
23:41
death and like negative things and the like demons and stuff
23:45
like that. So it would make sense that
23:46
they're associated with something very supernatural and
23:51
negative in, in, in these cultures.
23:53
So that I, I want to learn about that.
23:55
I want to know what the book he's talking about or he gave
23:57
you. Yeah.
23:58
No, I bought it at the store. Yeah, I have it on my bookshelf.
24:00
I'll show you later. Before we wrap this up, there's
24:04
one main thing worth talking about.
24:07
OK, the real animal most people connect to La Lechusa is the
24:11
American Barn Owl. That's the brown one, right?
24:14
Yeah, brown and white or tidal fricata.
24:17
What another scientific name? Oh, focaccia.
24:21
Not focaccia, Tidal fricata. Fricata.
24:25
According to allaboutbirds.org, American Barn owls are
24:29
restricted to the Americas. The Eastern barn owl stretches
24:33
from South Asia to Australia and the Western barn owl is found in
24:38
Europe, Africa, and Western Asia.
24:40
So the owl that we are correlating the story to is the
24:43
American Barn Owl. OK, yes, these birds can look
24:47
eerie and scary. They have a pale white
24:50
heart-shaped face. Their eyes almost glow in the
24:54
moonlight. They fly almost silently.
24:57
Their eyes are dark. They can have a wingspan ranging
25:00
from three feet to just over 4 feet, which is pretty huge if
25:04
you think about it. Oh these are so scary looking.
25:07
No, they're not. They're beautiful, Brian.
25:08
No, it looks like they're wearing masks.
25:10
Reframe that question that that statement right now and that
25:14
awesome screech. It sounds like something that
25:16
escaped a haunted. House Oh, this is cute.
25:18
I will play that at the end for you.
25:21
It's easy to. Understand how people centuries
25:23
ago looked at 1 flying across the field and thought that thing
25:27
isn't natural. But here's the reality.
25:30
Barn owls are one of the best natural pest controllers we
25:33
have. A single barn owl family can eat
25:35
thousands of rodents in a single breeding season, helping farmers
25:39
and keeping rodent populations under control.
25:41
They're an essential part of a healthy ecosystem throughout
25:44
Mexico, Texas, and other parts of the world.
25:47
Unfortunately, folklore has sometimes had a darker side
25:51
because of beliefs linking owls to witches, death or bad luck.
25:56
Some communities have historically killed or driven
25:59
away barn owls simply for existing.
26:01
They're too scary to look at, and that's apart from pesticides
26:04
and urbanization. Conservation groups continue to
26:07
stress that these birds are harmless to people and
26:09
incredibly valuable to agriculture and local
26:12
ecosystems. If you ever see a barn owl
26:14
perched on a fence, maybe don't assume it's an ancient witch
26:18
plotting revenge. No, I will, I'm going to read
26:21
that again. Maybe don't.
26:24
It's probably just looking for a mouse that doesn't realize it's
26:27
about to become dinner. But the mouse.
26:31
That might not be as scary as La Lechusa, but for the mouse, it's
26:36
a Horror Story. Anytime I get to talk.
26:41
About conservation of our flora and fauna, especially native.
26:46
I'm going to I'm going to go hard.
26:47
I loved reading about this every rabbit hole I get it sent me
26:51
down a different one. And then I was just about
26:52
rabbits at all. I know well game like food for,
26:56
you know, game. I know game.
26:58
It was really fun. And then obviously I got to
27:01
reference a couple websites I use on a day-to-day basis.
27:03
Really. Which one?
27:04
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, which is the bird ID app that I
27:08
have. Oh, Jerry loves.
27:10
That app. I fucking live on that app.
27:11
He's like everyone be. Quiet.
27:12
Yeah, my. Favorite show is on playing a
27:15
bird call. Wait, shut up.
27:17
But yeah, it was super fun because once it links Krypton
27:21
and a cultural belief to like real, real animals and real
27:26
things that I'm into. So it's just so cool.
27:29
I did grow up with that thought that like these owls in general
27:32
are witches and that because of their screech on the videos that
27:35
I've seen, there's always a barn or like some sort of perched owl
27:40
in like a warehouse and it's screeching like crazy and it's
27:42
like moving side to side, but it's just doing what it's
27:45
supposed to, their characteristics.
27:47
Are just inherently kind of eerie like the ability to turn
27:50
their head almost 180 that's a little scary nocturnal huge eyes
27:55
like. Yeah, for sure.
27:56
Anything that moves in the. Night, I think you're as a you
27:59
as a human are more predisposed to be kind of fearful of 'cause
28:02
that's resting time. That's like sleepy time.
28:05
You're not supposed to be worried about anything, at least
28:08
now in modern society where everyone is mostly sleeping
28:10
indoors. But growing up in the texting
28:14
friends here back in the early days like.
28:18
You you would. Definitely be scared if you hear
28:20
a creepy screeching sound and you're just asleep like outside.
28:24
Yep, I think foxes. Also make a very similar like
28:26
human sound when alert or trying to defend its its Cubs or
28:30
something. But anyways, conservation become
28:32
educated on this stuff. Yeah, watch the movie.
28:34
Who? Watch the movie.
28:36
Who love that movie as a child. But if you do see a 15 foot
28:40
witch faced owl then run. Yeah, don't.
28:46
Don't start conversation. Don't try to like, talk your way
28:50
out of it because owls know everything.
28:53
They won't. They're not asking you questions
28:55
because they want answers. They're asking you questions to
28:58
buy time to eat. You who?
29:02
I have to go. That's so interesting, friend.
29:07
Yeah. Thank you.
29:08
Thank you. What haunted you this week?
29:11
Dancing. Dancing.
29:12
I just been thinking about dancing a lot.
29:14
That's so cool. You know what's been haunting?
29:16
Me for at this point. More.
29:20
Than a year dancing. It's when we were.
29:24
Front row at Lady Gaga and she yelled to the crowd dance.
29:30
Or die. Wow.
29:33
For some people. You do.
29:35
Dance until you die, dance till you're dead.
29:41
It's not just the lyrics to the song.
29:42
Heads will roll by the yeah yeah, yeah.
29:44
It's an actual thing that has occurred a few times throughout
29:47
history. Think of Flash.
29:50
Mob, but deadly. Imagine this, Jerry.
29:54
I see you're a little confused. Very.
29:57
It's a hot summer day. You're walking around the
30:00
neighborhood. You see a lone woman just
30:02
dancing in the town square. I'm doing a little body.
30:06
Roll so you can get the. The image there's no.
30:09
Music though. She's at it for.
30:12
Hours. Eventually someone.
30:15
Else joins. They dance the day.
30:17
Away by sunset, more people have joined and a crowd has gathered
30:23
to watch. There's still no music, just the
30:26
sound of footsteps tapping the floor and the heavy breaths of
30:29
dancers getting more and more tired by the minute.
30:32
But still. They don't stop.
30:35
The next morning. They're still at it.
30:38
More people have joined, replacing those who collapsed
30:40
overnight due to exhaustion and dehydration.
30:43
That's crazy. However, once they're awake,
30:47
they continue, their bodies forced to move to an imaginary
30:50
beat. This goes on for days, and 1 by
30:54
1, the dancers drop dead. If Gaga told you to dance or
30:59
die, how long would you last? I think I.
31:03
Would run out of. Moves and like 15 minutes.
31:06
OK, don't think. Choreography.
31:08
Think. Just Dance.
31:09
Just wild, feverish. Just like oh.
31:13
The music's taking over me. I have to dance.
31:16
Doing a little one. Two step in a arm, swing around.
31:23
I'm tight. I'm.
31:24
Searching something up really quick because it's going to help
31:26
me decide my answer, but I'm going to say about 3 days
31:32
because if it takes three to seven days for the average human
31:35
to die without drinking water, dancing and burning calories and
31:40
getting dehydrated will probably get me closer to three days.
31:43
You're so. Brave and so strong to think
31:46
that You Can Dance non-stop for that many days because I could
31:50
give it maybe 40 minutes before I'm heaving over trying to catch
31:53
my breath. You also.
31:54
Have like asthma so that makes Yeah, but for three days you.
31:59
Will dance non-stop, no break. No, I realize that's also like
32:02
overnight and stuff yeah nothing.
32:04
There's no breaks. You dance until you collapse
32:06
like that. Like.
32:07
Not die. No, you're collapsing any
32:09
moment. That you're able to be fully
32:11
awake and coherent. You're dancing.
32:12
OK, I'm going to say 2 days. Wow, probably towards that
32:16
night. I'll probably collapse.
32:18
OK, I would love. To test this out, I'm sitting, I
32:21
I even think 40 minutes for me is a stretch, maybe like 15
32:25
minutes of like constant moving. Listen, I've barely.
32:28
Been hitting the gym, I need to work on my cardio.
32:30
If I was a little bit more advanced than that, maybe I'd
32:33
last a little more, but for now we're sticking 40 minutes back.
32:36
OK, valid. Sorry.
32:38
The whole time when you started telling the story, I'm like, oh,
32:41
that's that's seems normal. It reminded me of that episode
32:44
and I've never seen it. I've just seen clips of it of
32:46
the kid from Rosa de Guadalupe who's like also just like
32:49
dancing, but he's like crying. So keep.
32:54
That. In mind, Jerry, because maybe
32:56
this, this is an inspiration because believe it or not, this
33:00
happened. The most prolific death by dance
33:04
anomaly occurred in July of 15181518.
33:09
That's more than 5. 100 years ago that was like. 500 years
33:13
ago? Yep, and it occurred.
33:14
In the city of Stroudsburg, which is located in what is
33:18
currently France along the Rhine River, well, doesn't.
33:21
Strauss mean dance and I don't know I'm.
33:24
Kidding, I totally made. That up?
33:25
I thought it was somewhere in Germany.
33:26
In Germany? Well, doesn't Germany mean
33:28
dance? The Strasbourg community was
33:31
infected by dance. Wow.
33:36
The moving and grooving. Plague started when Frau trofa
33:41
trofu Trofia. I don't remember how to
33:45
pronounce that last name. I'm so sorry.
33:46
I think you like disrespected. Me in like 3 different languages
33:49
when Frau. Stepped onto a quiet St. and
33:52
started dancing Jerry lock in there's a woman and she's
33:55
dancing in the street I'm. Sorry, silently.
33:59
She shuffled from left to right, tapping her feet, flailing her
34:04
arms. She twisted and she shook and
34:07
she twirled all morning as townspeople just walked by.
34:11
They're probably a little confused, but someone dancing
34:14
isn't something super alarming to witness.
34:17
I've personally seen people. Dancing alone in public a few
34:19
times, mostly for TikTok for sure, but.
34:22
I just like. Look and Oh my God, they're so
34:25
good. Yeah, and just go.
34:26
About my day, yeah. They're so brave, like.
34:28
That's so cool. The thing was miss.
34:30
Girl danced non-stop for about a week.
34:34
And by then she. Had been joined by around 40
34:36
other people. By August, it would multiply to
34:40
over 400 people all around the city dancing.
34:46
Dance till you did. Crazy, mind you, no.
34:49
One signed a waiver, do you think Jerry?
34:52
That this is the first example of mosh pitting.
34:59
Was there anyone like hitting each other?
35:01
Well, there's. Like flailing.
35:03
I I'd imagine sure. Like I'm going to say sure.
35:06
It's like an arm if they're. Flailing and.
35:07
Flailing. If they're flailing and kicking
35:10
and doing all this movement that could potentially land a hit and
35:14
hit someone, sure, that's moshing.
35:15
Yeah, I agree. I'm kind of envisioning like.
35:17
Slave for You by Britney Spears, where they're all just kind of
35:19
like sweaty slave Who are you? But it was not like that.
35:25
Apparently was really terrible. I bet.
35:27
I mean, it's 15. 18 Not many moves were invented, and they
35:29
don't have deodorant. That's.
35:31
Wild. I don't even think of that.
35:32
Oh, that's the worst part. It just hit me that's.
35:35
Crazy 1518 were they still using like they did not have aluminum?
35:40
Deodorant back there? No, they didn't they.
35:41
Didn't have antiperspirant. Oh my God, glad I wasn't there.
35:45
Middle Ages am I right? Dude wearing like 6 layers of
35:48
clothing? Fuck no.
35:50
So what? Was going on.
35:53
No one really knew. A lot of theories floated around
35:57
the local hierarchy trying to figure out the cause for this
36:00
dancing frenzy. The crowd was growing.
36:03
Rambunctious and was a massive safety hazard for the area.
36:08
Imagine 400 people jumping around, swaying their arms back
36:10
and forth aggressively. People fainting from fatigue.
36:14
It was bound to be deadly and. Unfortunately, it.
36:17
Was. Some local doctors.
36:21
Believe that the dancing disease was caused by hot blood.
36:24
That the people flopping around, we're only doing so because the
36:27
blood inside of them was fighting to cool down.
36:30
They knew exactly. What they had to do?
36:33
Bleed them out. What?
36:36
Or so they thought. For a hot minute before changing
36:40
their minds and deciding that the Cure was to dance it away,
36:43
no matter how long it might take.
36:46
Of course, the locals ended up. Building a stage for the crowd
36:51
for them to dance until they were cured local.
36:53
Guild Halls. Were clear to give people indoor
36:55
spaces to dance. For those that remained outside,
36:58
they built large platforms in the market areas.
37:02
Professional. Dancers were even brought in
37:04
along with a band to facilitate the dancing.
37:08
Wow, they added. Music, yeah.
37:09
They got sick and tired of just hearing.
37:13
And. And and huffing and puffing and
37:15
grunting. They got.
37:19
So fed up with that. They thought maybe the good.
37:22
Vibes would cool down the blood faster.
37:25
They really wanted to get the people going.
37:29
I bet the dancers are hot too. Just to like get your heartbeat
37:31
like racing a little bit, maybe big.
37:35
Butts, but wouldn't. That like increase the
37:37
temperature of your blood. Well, they thought like.
37:40
Eventually they would like sort it out like with enough moving,
37:43
yeah, you would just stop. OK, OK.
37:45
It didn't work. Wow.
37:49
Wow, really? People kept.
37:51
Collapsing, some suffering strokes and heart attacks.
37:55
Remember, this was in the middle of summer.
37:56
It was July through August. Amazing.
38:02
The plan was a total. Disaster.
38:05
No one was. Dancing out the disease.
38:09
Other theories involved potential poisoning.
38:14
Some believe that the. Bread had been poisoned by
38:17
ergot, A fungus that can grow, and rye.
38:21
Symptoms of that include dizziness, convulsions and
38:25
psychosis and dance. Any time I think of.
38:28
Some sort of rye bread poisoning.
38:29
I do think of the Salem witch trials from a documentary I
38:33
watched on like the sci-fi channel when I was like 9.
38:36
And I'm like that's that's it. One day I'm going to have
38:39
poisoned bread and I'm going to think people are witches.
38:42
Wow. That has stuck with me.
38:44
Since that was crazy, so little national.
38:46
Geographic. Honestly, yeah, probably.
38:49
I don't think I was watching sci-fi until.
38:51
I was older. However, this.
38:55
Fungus also cuts off blood supply when you're poisoned,
38:59
specifically to your hands and feet.
39:02
So they would make it. Extremely hard to dance if
39:04
you're not getting blood flow to your hands and feet.
39:06
So they ruled that out. They're not poisoned.
39:09
There is. Also, the belief that the
39:10
dancers are part of a secret cult, that they were willingly
39:13
dancing until they passed out to serve some higher power.
39:17
Ultimately this was tossed aside as many of the dancers expressed
39:21
desire to stop dancing and the misery it caused.
39:25
So like you said, Rosa de Guadalupe episode.
39:28
Was moving. All about was not happy about it
39:30
Yeah and I was questioning as I was reading the articles cause
39:36
by. That point I.
39:37
Have not. I hadn't read anything that said
39:39
that they were upset to be dancing.
39:41
But then one really good article of someone who did like a whole
39:44
research paper was like, no, they any time they were able to
39:48
take a break or like would be on the brink of like passing out,
39:51
they were expressing how miserable they are and how bad
39:53
they wanted it to stop. OK.
39:57
This is so wacky dude. Like.
40:00
What are y'all doing in? 1518 like this this this is
40:04
great. I'm also envisioning it in the
40:06
modern day understanding of a flash mob.
40:10
So the idea of it, I mean, this is sad.
40:12
People died, but in my mind I has just, it seems so silly.
40:15
Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure huge.
40:19
Crowd at the mall just. Doing like the High School
40:21
Musical dance or something? That's what I'm imagining, OK.
40:24
But then just some. Like old old attire, old attire
40:28
in peasant clothes. What if they were hitting moves?
40:30
That are like moves now they. Were doing the whip and the.
40:34
Nae, nae. Yeah.
40:34
And then like, that's so crazy. They were doing the Duggy.
40:39
They were, they were dugging and they were shuffling.
40:42
They were doing the jerk. They were.
40:44
They were jerking jerk. Yeah, they were doing all.
40:46
That stuff before we even knew they were skipping they.
40:49
Were hopping. They were dropping it like it's
40:51
hot because they were. They were dropping.
40:53
Like it's hot like. Dead.
40:56
The final theory. Was that the dancers were cursed
40:58
by Saint Vitus? Saint Vitus.
41:02
Is a Catholic priest who people in the Middle Ages believe that
41:05
he had the power to curse people with dance.
41:08
It is important to. Note that in the years leading
41:11
up to this epidemic, the. Epidemic of dance.
41:15
That area of. Strasburg had been suffering
41:18
with actual disease and famine. Researchers looking back at this
41:22
event believe that the trying times mixed with already
41:24
established superstitions was the tipping point in the
41:27
hysteria. A big dance mic.
41:33
A dance mic took that some time, of course.
41:38
Saint Vitus had cursed everyone. We're already suffering famine
41:42
and disease, so in 1518 it just kind of made sense.
41:46
Like we were already not eating. Everyone is sick.
41:50
Well, the poor are getting poorer.
41:53
Of. Course, we're stuck.
41:53
Dancing because we've been cursed by a Catholic St.
41:56
Yep. Sounds like it.
41:58
Sounds like it. Was intentional wipeout?
42:01
Believing that it indeed was a curse, dancers were taken on a
42:05
three day trip to a mountain top shrine and it made to pray for
42:09
forgiveness and freedom from the dancing curse.
42:12
Those in charge. Outlaw dancing at any music
42:15
until September in order to stop the pandemonium.
42:18
They said we got to get this shit figured out by September.
42:20
Yeah, we're losing our hot girl summer to this.
42:24
Literally OK, Imagine being. Forced to pray.
42:28
As a final. Like Hail Mary.
42:29
Like please, please stop me from dancing.
42:31
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's kind of giving.
42:34
Exorcism, right? It sounds like they're.
42:36
Reaching at everything and anything to just make it stop.
42:41
Also, what's really funny? With the music band is it was
42:43
mostly for drums because drums give you more of a beat to dance
42:49
to and they still want to have music at church so they said
42:52
strings are fine but no drums. No drums at.
42:55
The end of the day, they. Were still dancing to no music
42:58
at all because they told the band to leave.
43:00
Like we're done. We don't.
43:01
Need your services anymore? They're still.
43:03
Dancing. They're so dancing.
43:04
Why are we? Paying you, Yeah.
43:06
It is typically. Agreed that instead of a curse,
43:08
this was a very prominent example of mass hysteria.
43:12
As I stated previously, this community had never experienced
43:15
such intense hardship with disease and famine.
43:18
It's as if they manifested the curse themselves, kind of
43:22
because they kind of anticipated the curse.
43:25
All it took was for one shoe to drop before a crazy domino
43:29
effect happened. It took one person, Miss Miss
43:32
Frow, to just. Start shaking.
43:34
A little in the streets for everything to just kind of go to
43:36
shit and the rest were sheep. They just also believed sheep
43:40
with good dance moves. Sheep, they can hit a.
43:42
Bee They were hitting the sheep, the lamb.
43:47
By. September the panic did die out.
43:49
Allegedly, Miss Frow had been cured up at the mountain, so
43:54
they started sending more and more dancers.
43:56
Within a week, the dancing finally stopped.
44:00
At its prancing. Peak the Dancing Plague of 1518.
44:03
That's what it's called. Caused around. 15 deaths a day,
44:07
but an accurate total of deaths is not recorded.
44:11
This is also not the. First time something like this
44:13
has happened about. 10. Other outbreaks were reported in
44:18
the same area prior to this event.
44:22
Like along the river? Like more north Yeah, same
44:25
decades prior, similar events 'cause they all believed in this
44:28
Catholic Saints that was cursing people to dance.
44:32
Curse you Dancing St. 500 years later.
44:35
We're still kind of left wondering what happened.
44:38
Could this happen today in modern times, with a better
44:40
understanding of psychosis and less superstition?
44:44
I kind of doubt it. And I wonder if Gaga knew.
44:47
This if the opening tour tour would still be dance or die, or
44:52
instead it'd be dance. And die.
44:54
Yeah, exactly, exactly. Dance because.
44:57
That's going to be. The ultimate goal?
45:01
Death by dance. Death.
45:02
By dance and the reason I. Was so interested in this is
45:05
it's topical. It happened in July, over 500
45:07
years ago, but it reminds me of a book that I read a couple
45:11
months back called Hymn to Dionysus, where that is the
45:14
entire plot of the book, where the God Dionysus is arrives in a
45:20
community and the only way people are kind of catching on
45:24
to the fact that there's a God amongst them is because people
45:27
start dancing. And partying.
45:31
And it's uncontrollable and they can't stop.
45:33
And it's because that's what his power is.
45:36
It's revelry, it's celebration. But these people are going
45:39
crazy, like they're conscious that.
45:41
Yes, they can't stop partying and the government or.
45:44
Were those in charge at the time?
45:45
Whatever city it is, I don't remember if it's thieves or
45:48
something, they're trying to like, hush it away.
45:51
Like, no, there's no God here. We're in control.
45:54
Because yes, they believe in. Gods, but everything that
45:57
they're doing is still. Like corrupt.
46:00
Corrupted government. Yeah, yeah, Like, yeah, we want
46:02
them to keep believing in gods, but we're actually the ones in
46:05
charge and everything is fine. And everything is fine.
46:07
But then the main character is like, oh hey, things are being
46:10
weird. And then it gets gay and it's so
46:11
good. Wow.
46:12
Because even that and ISIS. They get all domestic and they
46:15
party. In the bedroom.
46:17
I'm just kidding, it doesn't and I wish it did, but it doesn't
46:20
write the fanfic. But that's what haunted me.
46:22
This week, I mean, wow, that is so.
46:25
Wacky, like I didn't know whether it's to like laugh or
46:30
like be concerned that that that was a thing before it just I'm
46:36
sure these communities are also smaller in 15-18.
46:38
Yeah, OK. Well, 4. 100 people with a lot
46:40
of people, that's true. That's true.
46:42
I'm sure there's some, like small towns.
46:45
Now I will never look at a flash mob again.
46:48
I'd have to leave because what if the power overcomes me and I
46:51
have to join them? You get sucked in and.
46:53
Then you Just Dance till you die, dance till you.
46:56
Dead. I've seen a couple.
46:58
Flash mobs in person. In person.
47:00
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like. At the mall like.
47:03
Back when malls were a thing. Back when malls were a thing.
47:05
I know. I know Dulce was a part of one.
47:07
That makes so much sense. Probably organized it.
47:09
I wouldn't doubt it. But yeah, I, I.
47:14
I've never been. Encouraged to join a a flash
47:17
mob. They're cool.
47:18
I yeah, that's so sick. I need to be good at.
47:20
Dancing and I'm not I've been practicing.
47:22
I was trying to learn K pop dancing with.
47:25
Mismatch. So I've genuinely been.
47:26
Haunted by dance moves? That's amazing.
47:29
And dance. That's so cool.
47:31
Friend, thank you. That is, I can't believe that's
47:34
a real story. And then it happened a couple.
47:37
Times in history, It's so wild. But I mean, hey, music has the
47:42
power. I mean, I know they didn't have
47:43
music. Yeah, I was insane, but.
47:44
Music just has the. Power to overtake you in in the
47:48
same. Realm of Music Brian, last week
47:51
I forgot to mention the biggest life changing event that I went
47:55
through your marriage. You.
47:57
Did that two years ago. The second.
47:59
Biggest event that I lived. But.
48:04
It was with the love of my life we saw the Phantom of the Opera
48:08
at the Pantages. Wow.
48:10
And I think I was still. So shook last week where it just
48:13
completely slipped my mind. I just could like it didn't feel
48:15
real. You were experiencing psychosis.
48:17
I was experiencing psychosis without the dance but with the
48:21
singing. But with the singing, because he
48:22
was playing after 4th of July, he said, can you please put on
48:25
Phantom? The like living that music being
48:29
present for the voices and the iconic piano.
48:35
It just it. Took me to another world I
48:37
transcended that day. We were both shook.
48:40
I think we were both clutching at each other's arms, like
48:42
throughout multiple times of the show, trying to stop yourself
48:45
from. Dancing, I understand we.
48:46
We wanted to dance so bad but those aisles were too tiny and
48:50
me being a bigger dude it's just impossible.
48:52
I was already like brushing up against the person next to me
48:55
shoulder. It was life changing.
48:57
Like the the main cast which we got to see was outstanding and
49:02
this is the second. 3rd. Play that I've seen, but this is
49:10
like the first like musical, like masterpiece that I've seen.
49:13
Big production, big production that I've seen.
49:14
So this was life changing. I've never I, I want to go see
49:18
it again. It was amazing.
49:21
The Phantom of the Opera literally runs in my life right
49:23
now, so I love that. You got to experience that
49:27
music. They freaking love that musical.
49:29
I love that music. They were that for Halloween.
49:31
We were that for. Halloween.
49:33
