Episode 34 – Homo For The Holidays: Traditions Too
Summary: The Christmas holidays are upon us once again and we decided to introduce another batch of holiday traditions. History covers pagan winter solstice traditions that many people still practice today. Cody starts us off with the Italian Christmas witch who comes to clean your filthy apartment, La Befana. Chris then shares a tradition that is not for the arachnophobic (like Cody. CODY NOTE: EEEK!). Cody follows that up with a scatalogical figure that appears in the manger. If you remember the poop log from last year, this should be a treat. Finally, Chris tells us about a Mexican tradition that happens after Christmas and involves hiding Jesus in a cake. Instead of believer/skeptic, Cody and Chris play two holiday games. BS weekly is about an old holiday song that is now seen as problematic. Drinks this week are-Blue Moon Winter Wheat and Tisdale Moscato.<br> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bsp-the-idio-t-synchrasy-files/id1271588099" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a> <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=152948&refid=stpr" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a> <a href="https://playmusic.app.goo.gl/?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&isi=691797987&ius=googleplaymusic&link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Idyya5igdpxb6ahq7jk367nvtze?t%3DBSP:_The_Idio%255Bt%255Dsynchrasy_Files%26pcampaignid%3DMKT-na-all-co-pr-mu-pod-16" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a> <a href="https://www.blubrry.com/bsp_the_idiotsynchrasy_files/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a><br> <br> Advisory: 0-13s<br> Intro Music: 13s-41s<br> Intro/Topic: 41s-3:56m<br> Drinks: 3:56m-6:35m<br> History: 6:35m-11:00<br> La Befana: 11:00m-16:42m<br> Christmas Spiders: 16:42m-22:26m<br> El Caganer: 22:26m-29:28m<br> Dia de Los Reyes: 29:28m-34:10m<br> Game 1: 34:10m-41:05m<br> Game 2: 41:05m-43:38m<br> BS Weekly: 43:38m-47:30m<br> Sign Off: 47:30m-48:55m<br> Outro Music: 48:55m-49:26m<br> <br> Original Music: “Berghain” by Monkey Warhol<br> <br> Pagan Traditions:<br> <a href="https://holidappy.com/holidays/twelve-christmas-traditions-with-pagan-origins">https://holidappy.com/holidays/twelve-christmas-traditions-with-pagan-origins</a><br> <a href="https://www.thoughtco.com/christmas-customs-with-pagan-roots-2563021">https://www.thoughtco.com/christmas-customs-with-pagan-roots-2563021</a><br> <br> Ukraine Spiders:<br> <a href="https://www.vancouverchristmasmarket.com/spider-and-the-christmas-tree-ukrainian-story/">https://www.vancouverchristmasmarket.com/spider-and-the-christmas-tree-ukrainian-story/</a><br> <br> Dia de Los Reyes:<br> <a href="http://www.mexonline.com/history-lostresreyes.htm">http://www.mexonline.com/history-lostresreyes.htm</a><br> <a href="https://www.inside-mexico.com/ya-vienen-los-reyes-magos/">https://www.inside-mexico.com/ya-vienen-los-reyes-magos/</a><br> <br> BS Weekly<br> <a href="https://ew.com/music/2018/12/02/baby-its-cold-outside-banned-by-cleveland-radio-station/">https://ew.com/music/2018/12/02/baby-its-cold-outside-banned-by-cleveland-radio-station/</a>
