0:00 [Music] um so there's this dude a you a tuber Steve loves it already named Mike Cory who documents his travel experiences uh it's called fearless and far where he visits different countries across the continents and immerses himself in their cultures that's cool here's a particular image from one of his recent tubes of him immersing himself in the culture of getting this what is this SE septum yeah pierced oh ████ oh you ever seen those yeah right that s███'s going to hurt like a ████ it it apparently and what they do is he holding a raw chicken in that side this that looks like a chicken I don't think it's a chicken it's her hand with
0:50 some gooey stuff on it oh yeah I that's just is an example of the people in that I thought he was like chicken and the thing is uh he's like deeply immersing himself in this culture respectfully I guess you could say honey muster over her head for some reason let's keep focusing on the hand weird they don't even expect buty hand that's a bad thumbnail yeah it's a bad thumbnail um ████ you guys and he's a red circle he goes to the Batanga tribe and they're based in the rural Northern Zimbabwe area the tongas can trace their Origins back to Central Africa having arrived in Zimbabwe around 300 ad wow and upon arriving in the village he decides to undergo one of the trib's rights of Passage uh which he's done uh in other countries and stuff
1:40 like that so he's just like oh let me do it in this Batanga version uh he gets his septum pierced with no anesthetic using a thorn as a needle oh my God waa he even handpicks the thorn um thinking about should I choose a small one sh choose a large one which one's going to be more painful or less painful whatever uh and he said these are AR Thorns they grow in the bushes here and this is how they do their piercings blah blah he proceeds to have this local lunch of mushy porridge and okra before being held down by the village grandmas as they attempt to pierce his nose they end up spending 15 minutes trying to twist this thing through septum and they don't succeed so it's just a super painful experience oh my God but the thing that goes really really funny nerves in there right yeah the thing that's funny in my opinion is after the fact he has a conversation with this right of with the people in this tribe for what that right
2:30 of Passage means and he realizes after the fact that only women have this oh ████ but nobody oh my God and it it happens as a ride of passage for young girls going through puberty that prepare themselves to marry their husband oh my man that's what he did dude this tribe is this tribe is a prank a prank show too this tribe's like want this it's good it's good content yeah it's like he got a ████ kinetta or something he like yeah everyone does this right okay Co the fact they still did it that's pretty funny and I picture tried to do it I picture all these but other Batanga like tribes men like oh I'mma ████ hit that right fresh me failed to do it too yeah they failed to do it either that or maybe maybe the grandmas were truly
3:20 being nice and being like Oh Let's like give them the experience and the pain but let's not actually do it I don't know did not go all the way through that's so now he just a drywall screw are so weird I got my cartilage pierced by hand and it was the ████ worst thing ever what like this one up here so I had one up here it's not even that bad and then I wanted another one I went to the other one I went to my homie's house like this is way worse I never got that one I never got that one but then he uh I was like he's like I could pierce it for you cuz I have this you know the hook hook needle thingy yeah and I was like I was like you don't have the ████ the gun thing he goes nah but I'll Pierce no that's at Claire's yeah well it's also not as sanitary yeah so I was just doing it in his room and he starts pushing it through and then it ended up being wrong and my ████ them was all dangling like this I'm like God ████ damn so I had to go back to like K town and you to go to cla's and get it F Well it
4:11 couldn't go to Claire's I ad it you went to Claire's you're gay did you buy like two arens and you get your piercing free or something no I have to go to k it's like 15 you can't go to you have to go to Claire's when you're 18 I want to go to oh yeah that's it you have to go to if you go to k you go there when you're like 12 and ████ you just looking like a nice little $10 bill really I don't know I don't know that did you ever have that thing happen when like when you know when guys get their ears pierced for the first time and then all the other dudes make them scared by going oh dude you got it on the gay side the best bro Everyone Falls for that yeah well I remember seeing I remember being like young insecure age and I saw Harrison Ford on a on talk show and he had the earring and I was like that's the gay side that's the gay
5:01 like it was a s like a beacon like a signal yeah it's like I'm down a ████ it was like heartbreaking it was like Harrison Ford's like the man and ████ yeah Han Solo G gay side wearing the gay that's what we're doing we had 3 million subscribers we're getting it on the gay side oh ████ is it still does it still is it the right side or the left side both cuz we we're all ████ with that don't matter no imagine our wives like ████ just got the one just one on the right I can't even remember which one it was cuz no matter what side someone had it on we would just say oh bro no you got the I think I think the left is straight yeah I think the right side's gay gay yeah it's like the right but it's got to be a disco ball I don't trust him after what after what I have on my body proves that you don't do the research a banana do not do the research bro ban let me find out which side is
5:54 the gay side yeah man which earring signals real is that a real thing at all yeah or is that something Urban myth or did straight guys make it up often wear a single piece of jewelry on the right ear to indicate sexual prac we were right right side you're not gay what about in Hawai the flower is that which one's the gay when you have the no that's the married side married and single for guys too ████ funny isn't it funny how people had to create all those signals back then cuz you had to like show people like I'm a part of the car yeah but the difference is when everybody knows what the discreet signal is that's that's I just laugh at that mentality of like that we were that young and we were like oh I really hope everyone thinks I'm straight yeah that's was the ████ straight Olympics bro
6:45 cor this is also the age where we're like dude Marland Manson took his ribs out so he's suck but that's like that's like the '90s when you first figure out what gay is with your friends the only thing you ever want to do is not be gay it's so stupid make sure you can confirm everything possible it's like okay how many times did I show everybody I'm not gay today and how do I do it tomorrow but better yeah it's so ins it's so funny that you think that being straight requires so much effort I had I think I had maybe upkeep it requires upkeep I think I had like a 5year gap before learning what uh learning the word gay and then the definition oh so you used the word before you even knew it was oh don't be ████ gay oh you're ████ gay so you didn't know knew like I ain't gay and then it wasn't until like a sop when I was a sophomore in high school that I met that I knew it meant homosexual but
7:36 for those 5 years without knowing the definition you just thought me stupid I just don't want to be gay though for those five years whatever it is I don't want to be it I ain't gay okay see this turned into a great OTR I don't know what you were talking about this is a great it's funny cuz in Filipino culture I knew what bakat was oh but I didn't know that that's the same as gay yeah cuz like we don't give a crap about being Baka that s███'s funny yeah yeah like cuz all the as like as from from being a kid on Filipino TV there's gay people everywhere they don't it's not like taboo like they're the host of the show they're always the funniest person in the movie but then like you don't want to be gay though I want to be that dude yeah my uncle was gay and he died of AIDS right so uh thanks for bringing it up but so but it's it's one of those things where I remember that knowing
8:26 that he was gay but then like not ass it with me in my age range and so like even though I knew that and accepted that it was completely normal and fine like it was old people thing it didn't mean that I everyone knows I'm not gay uh it's such a dumb ████ idiot kid thing if I was your friend back then I would have been like you know it's hereditary like if it's in your bloodline oh for sure like you're going to go into try to be it doesn't skip a generation you got to goow into it dude the I remember on the radio I think it was like Kiss FM in the '90s there was some like person that was or maybe it was krock they were talking about like five signs that you might be gay or something this was like real ████ that's so four of the five yeah and then you know on the way to school everybody listened to the same radio so we all got there we were like did you hear it are you gay are you gay like dude Trevor's
9:18 gay yeah all the girls heard it and they were like half the class is gay now I just want to know what the science there were dumb signs it was probably hygiene ████ it was like it was like honestly it was like wear your cuticle are located on your nails it was that ████ yeah it was really dumb I'm probably G five signs you might be gay but then all of us had that like peanut butter I guess we're all gay you like if you like Smooth peanut butter you're gay I just like how it had nothing to do with what what you loved like it had nothing to do with whether you loved a man or woman it had nothing to do with that it was like if you air balled three times in a row oh that for sure was gay oh you like playing handball you ████ gay ass gay dude tetherball was okay though tether ball I remember somebody had a unicycle at school and I secretly thought it was cool but I was like n it's gay oh those
10:08 were the saddest thing I why I thought yo-yos were too I was like actually's kind of tight but gay at I don't want people to Y you got a dunin yo-yo I do I do still have yo-yos I bought socks were so hard to get good at that's sad to like when you abstained from certain things cuz you were just convinced it was G yeah I didn't want to join the school play cuz I thought they were all gay sad dude and I saw a performance and I was like know that was so cool there was a TV program at our High School drama was about to get a hand job in the curtains I would have loved the whole thing there's nothing gay about that drama it's that's the place to go you know those like Chambers where it's like a box and then money flies around with wind and you have to catch it someone came to the school like a special thing and wanted us to do that and everyone was like that's
10:58 gay cuz like it looks like yeah yeah you need money so all the cool guys are like I ain't gay bro that's I'm not doing that ████ but it's like how is that gay yeah I could use the funs man I could really use the funs but like n that's super gay just like G my God kids in the it's so stupid the '90s were amazing it's so dumb dude when people complain about homophobia today oh yeah oh yeah I can't wait till taica like his friends start calling each other gay then I start calling him gay for stuff oh my God raising him right cuz I need him to learn like the kid definition then I can throw it at him still say that I don't think so they probably have another word some woke ass
11:48 ████ probably ████ I assume that they probably shame that a lot the space that does it the most in the entire world right now yeah that's probably a fair statement No it's not ████ online call Duty oh yeah it's it's not us but that's probably like in in kindergarten that's probably the teacher's first day and she just tells the kids like don't call each other gay and they're just like five what oh I did see Tao play Call of Duty and I was like oh what do you mean you just saw him like he just randomly you about to enter into this whole new world of different Lang where did he play that I just saw his iPad he plays his cousins oh he plays Roblox and then he plays Call of Duty dude he he's about to learn shooting ████ but he uses all these like cute little words like come come get me you loser come get me
