 What song is this? Were you writing a song? It's when you were writing in the bathroom. Oh, I do know that. I got that at the end. I recognized that at the end. I recognized the ending. What was that? She's got eyes of the blue sky. There you go, that's the right. Yeah, good, hey. Well done, Corbin. Thanks. Josh. Hey, welcome back to our studio director Corbin. I'm Axl Rose.

Did you ever see Step Brothers? No, I can see the poster for the film. But I never saw it. Very funny recreation of that song. Is that John C. Riley? Yes, and Will Ferrell. And Will Ferrell, yeah. There's a funny, it doesn't include either of them, but other characters are singing that song in a car. And it's very funny. Does it have anything to do with what we're doing right now? No, not at all. Perfect. Exactly what I'd expect. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Bow! Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Hey, sing it! Today we got a, this is, just came out on the National Geographic India, and this is boat racing in... Aramula. It's India, it's, I believe this is the Kerala boat racing festival. Which we've seen a video of this of. But this is, just came out three weeks ago, so it goes into a little, I think somebody actually goes and experiences it. Experiences it? Boat race. Yeah, we saw a small snippet of it early on with the channel and then we've seen a couple of things and songs that's been featured and highlighted. But it's just released about three weeks ago on National Geographic India. Cool. So, here we go. Celebrations take on different flavors in various parts of Kerala. In Aramula, another annual boat race takes the spotlight. I've already seen one boat race, but this time, I want an oar in my hands. You want a what? Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. I take the ferry to skip the city traffic, but the traffic follows me. So, traffic jam on a ferry. I love it. They're like, white dude, shut up. They're like, don't wave at us, British guy. He's like, why is that white guy waving? We're in a city and onto country roads. I notice tiny villages all cara. People here learn rowing the way the rest of us learn cycling. Cara, or where boat race is started, and the Aramulla boat race retains those traditional routes. Men who've grown up in these carers may have migrated to other cities, but nothing keeps them away from the boat race. Meet Satya, who works with Google in Bangalore. But come on, Ann, he's back every year training with his team. I didn't realize how big this boat is. It looks huge, yeah. Wow. Because this boat has got, you can feel the life in it, right? It's been used a lot. How old is this one? This one, I mean, we have boat for the last several centuries, but this boat reconstructed a couple of times. OK. So this, the last... I was not expecting that. ...was done about 99. OK. They have boats that are seven centuries old. I think he's just a century. I don't know if he's at seven. I think he's at centuries, though. I heard centuries. And sweat, too. Well, I'm sweating already, and I haven't done anything, so... I'm told I can only step into the boat only in the traditional attire, a wraparound called a mundu and a scarf called a neriyafu. Stretch the muscles before we head to the water. Those are the joints, actually. Yeah. That you were... How do you get on? It's so narrow. To the water, you know, the laughs have temporarily gone, and you can now realize that they take them very seriously, not just because it's a race and they're training, but also the weight of responsibility for their community. And I like that. I mean, you know, preserving a boat like this takes a lot of effort. The boats are about 100 feet in length. It's stern rises up 10 to 15 feet. Because it looked like the hood of a snake, it came to be known as the Snake Boat. Have you ever done canoeing with a group like that? Or, yeah. It's fun. It's more tiring than you'd expect. Now with a boat, that's big, though. Yeah. We arrived back at the shore to a hero's welcome. I absolutely love that. That was brilliant. They made me feel part of the team, even if it was just for a minute. But that chanting, that te-te-te-tongue, you know, it gets you in this kind of rhythm. It's kind of tribal and powerful. What it does is it motivates the team, hopefully, to win. And I'm going to get this chanting right when I come back for the actual race and cheer for my team. I would have loved to have seen the race. They were not going to let him in the boat. No, not for the rest. No, he's going to watch from the side. We don't want Whitey slowing us down over here. Yeah, those boats, they look old. I don't think he said seven, but he definitely said centuries. He definitely said centuries. Which is insane to keep a boat for centuries. Yeah. Like, I don't even know how you would do that. It looks like it was literally a massive tree. Probably was. They probably cut down a tree and turned it into a boat. Yeah. This is something I'm, I have no doubt just that we have stupid babies at least connected with people that do these things at minimum. Like they have a family member that I would love to just go on one of these boats whenever we get to go back to India and we go to South India because obviously that's where we'd be going next time we go. Kerala is definitely a place where we'd be going. I don't, obviously I'm sure you have to go at a certain time for all the boat stuff. Yeah, that's an annual boat race. So it only happens once a year. I mean, I'm not that I have to do the boat race, but I just want to be on the boat and feel it. I just want to touch it for sure. I think it'd be really cool. Yeah. Be one of those things that's like, who else has experienced this? Yeah. But yeah, I've done those canoe stuff before. And it's so interesting because if I didn't, if I'd, so much of that footage, and I've said this in different parts because India is such a diverse place, but so much of Kerala and the Southwest of India looks and feels and reminds me a lot of Papua New Guinea, very, very tropical, very similar. And there's even been in some spots of Southeast like Odissia and even farther South that they've shown some videos of smaller tribal life. And it reminds me so much of like that. It's interesting, South and North as well because the mountainous people in Papua New Guinea, what they do and how they live is very different than the people who live on the coasts. That's just, it's amazing how similar we are even without those people groups ever knowing each other exists. Yeah. Yeah, really amazing. And Kerala is just absolutely gorgeous. Gorgeous. I mean, can you imagine, it's always lost in translation on a video or a picture. We've been gobsmacked with videos. Imagine what it's like seeing it in person. And I feel like Kerala is one of those places you, like we were in, the longest we were in a place was Mumbai. I think we were there for five. Five days. Five days. I think so, I think that's right. We had a lot of, like we had meetings with different people as well. And I assumed we'd need the most time there. But I feel like you need a lot more time in Kerala. Yeah. Because a lot of it is like, you probably have to drive really far. Right. It's a long time to get to certain places. Which is part of the enjoyment getting to Mumbai and you're in Mumbai. And you just go around Mumbai. It still takes a while to get to places. Sure, sure, sure. But yeah, everything is so spread out and there's terrain that isn't easily accessible to a lot of the spots that makes, that's part of the enjoyment, but it does make you need to spend more time there. For sure. I would imagine it does. Anyways, that was great. Let us know other videos. Any stupid babies in and around or from experience this? Let us know. Let us know. Yeah. Next time we go, we can pop a squat in one of the boats. Right over the edge. Oh no, not poop. I just want to sit in the boat. Oh, I thought you wanted to poop. No, I don't want to poop in the boat. Oh. I don't know, that might be a kink. On a toilet would be preferable. I doubt there's a toilet on the boat or anywhere on that river. There might be though. You probably have to poop in the river. There's actually a lot of boat, like hotels. If you had to do what we did when we went to the Hula tribe in Papua New Guinea, would you have pulled a Valerie or would you have been like me? So we were there for three days, four days. And the four days we were there, we were in homes that are built on stilts above the water. And to poop, you sat on a toilet, but it fell into the ocean beneath you. Valerie did not poop for three days. She held it in, she couldn't pull herself to do it. I did it gladly and enjoyed the long fall from release to when I actually heard it hit the water. That's why you never touch a brown trout. What would you do? Never touch a brown trout. Did you poop in the water? Probably not. And then you have to walk in it. You can feel the silty underneath in your feet and you know that it's a mixture of both sand and human waste over the centuries. Shut up. Anyways, that was great. I let us know the videos from Kerala Boat Races and any kinds of informational videos we can react to down below.
