Description

From dodging flaming projectiles in El Salvador to chasing cheese down a vertical hill in England—and yes, parading 6-foot phallic shrines in Japan—this episode of Waywut takes you on a wild, hilarious, and occasionally dangerous tour of the world’s strangest festivals.

Darrell and Jason break down real-life global traditions that range from wholesome to “what the hell is happening” with classic Waywut commentary, awkward memories, and one epic side rant about stoner drum circles and flying ham.

🎪 Inside this episode:

• La Tomatina (Spain): Thousands of people hurling tomatoes in a messy, slippery free-for-all
• Bolas de Fuego (El Salvador): A town commemorates a volcanic eruption by throwing flaming fireballs at each other
• Cheese Rolling (England): Brave (or dumb?) participants chase a wheel of cheese down a 45° hill—and often break bones doing it
• Kanamara Matsuri (Japan): The “Festival of the Steel Phallus,” featuring... exactly what you think
• Eeyore’s Birthday (Austin, TX): A psychedelic picnic with fairy wings, weed, drum circles, and questionable footwear

Whether you love travel stories, cultural chaos, or weird human behavior, this one’s packed with laughs, trivia, and “you’re making that up” moments.
