01:20music and anarchist hijinks in the nevada desert has been steadily shrinking since its 2019 peak
01:29but the share of people in their 40s and 50s is on the rise data shows
01:35yeah i i know of somebody that goes to burning man and they're they're like a total douche canoe
01:44what i guess you would need a canoe well only if there's a flash flood it would be in the
01:50arizona
01:50desert well but has it been plagued with like all kinds of issues weren't there like locusts a couple
01:55of years ago or i think there was a there was a dust storm okay that's what it was it
02:00was it was a dust
02:01storm there was a a really bad dust storm that like the whole thing might be what 10 days long
02:07it's it's nine days long is it okay yes so like i just said that for a week a solid
02:12week it was
02:12nothing but dust and then the last two days they dug out of it so it's described as drug-fueled
02:20clothing optional yeah don't they have something called the orgy dome they do they have something
02:26called the orgy dome where i think they just have like orgies it's like what is this thing
02:31so i guess the peak was 2019 and at that point there were about 80 000 people
02:42and it's been going down yeah because i think there have been a couple of miserable years
02:47it's an experience don't don't they drive across like mad max like uh dust roads to yeah to get
02:58there yes yeah it's in the middle of nowhere they have to drive and drive and drive to get to
03:03the
03:04location and then the man burns the last day there's like a giant what an effigy of a like some
03:11wooden structure of a dude yeah that's exactly what it is uh you know uh michelle handed me
03:20the strangest rules of burning man and when did this start when did burning man begin
03:28how long it's been in 22 years i think it's been going on all right so that but that tracks
03:33with
03:33the age issue right like they're saying oh everybody's like in their 40s and 50s whereas
03:3720 years ago they were in their 20s well duh that the same people who have been going are still
03:42going
03:43all right so here's the deal in 2023 there was a crazed rainstorm that flooded the camps
03:50and turned the exit route into an impassable muddy mess muddy mess yes i think you've had
03:58dust storms i think you've had flash floods i don't think i think they might have had locusts
04:04well i think in 2016 they had locusts i don't i don't know i don't know what what other pestilence
04:12can we what what are the biblical events flood locusts is we're killing of the firstborn i don't know
04:24so michelle has handed me a list of the strangest rules of burning man and again it's like a nine
04:31day festival for douche canoes in the nevada desert just because it's not your thing i don't know that
04:36everybody anything anything it's not my thing is a douche canoe yeah that's that's that tracks too
04:44i gotta be honest and you don't like something you really don't like it that's not like you know
04:48i'm okay with that sometimes or all right so here's a list of the strangest rules you have to follow
04:53in the nevada desert for burning man number one go ahead and kill jack rabbits according to the
05:01burning man survival guide there are jack rabbits in the area it is not worth jeopardizing your safety
05:08to swerve in an attempt to avoid them just hit him a jack rabbit if you're taking a one lane
05:17road to
05:18this destination and a jack rabbit jumps in front of you my wife's first instinct is to maneuver the
05:24car around the jack rabbit right and my first instinct is to plow plow through it well it has
05:30been said and many times on this show over the years that you're better off hitting the deer than
05:36swerving to avoid because i thought i read a stat that more people get hurt or killed by swerving
05:43avoiding a deer instead of hitting it on the road because people will then veer off the road hit a
05:48tree
05:48and you know i don't want to hit a tree this jack rabbit's not a very good looking creature
05:53it's a rabbit oh he doesn't look like a rabbit though what's that what's that deformed raccoon
05:59that got all kinds of attention jimothy jimothy yeah but is that it i think he was was he a
06:05raccoon
06:05with scoliosis or something like that yeah apparently they didn't catch it with that third grade spine
06:11test from the nurse from uh the down in the near the principal's office no didn't catch that all right
06:17number two bring bacon if you want to make friends it's one of the most sought-after
06:22commodities bringing bacon there's no easier way to be a hero than to walk around handing out
06:28bacon so people like us they provide their own good to the community and oh right my the guy who
06:37i knew or know who goes he he oh you know a douche canoe that goes to burning man he's
06:42as you would
06:43he's a douche is he a douche canoe yacht master he's a douche canoe yacht master my friends aren't douche
06:49canoes yours almost exclusively are right with the exception of bobby all right don't use the hot
06:59springs they're too hot and dangerous i don't know they have hot springs out there is that like the
07:06maniacs that try to go near the hot springs like in yellowstone i guess and the dutton ranch honestly
07:12it's not too too far away uh geographically number four you can't pick your own playa name
07:17or is it play a name playa uh everyone gets a nickname out of the playa or playa it's playa
07:25playa but it's traditionally given to you by others based on specific personality identity or behaviors
07:32i'm gonna call you coco the monkey if that's the name you get number five money is forbidden
07:42you don't barter either you share and without the expectation of reciprocation number six no
07:50photography it's not completely banned but there are strict rules professionals need prior approval
07:56regular folks can take photos for the purpose of private non-commercial sharing with friends
08:01and family on personal social social huh number seven no feathers burning man has a leave no trace
08:10policy and feathers tend not to comply like what like like feather real like bird feathers i think
08:16feathers would fall into the same category as glitter all right just really hard to pick up
08:20number eight you have to get rid of your own garbage again due to the leave no trace policy
08:26there are no trash cans at burning man any waste you produce goes home with you or at least off
08:33the
08:33grounds number nine bring quality footwear playa foot is a common malady for burners it's when feet
08:41become dry and cracked what's that uh dry and cracked foot bomb that they sell there's a brand name
08:50i've seen it advertised on tv yeah like the heel ointment they show like a picture of some old
08:55lady's craggly foot right and it's like all smooth and it looks like it looks like the desert where you
09:00have those crack marks and everything all right uh she's a douche who never went to a burning man and
09:05then number 10 don't try to plant stuff it'll just die and then someone has to clean up after you
09:11people have tried to plant all kinds of stuff like roses sod and even palms what all right so don't
09:18try to
09:18so that's it's 10 things 10 of the biggest rules of burning man so anyway i guess it's got a
