Oh shit! Oh my gosh! It's on fire!
[Laughter]
[In a British accent] Right now, what are we doing?
Besides talking in an accent for some reason? [In a bizarre irish/british/unknown accent] We
are going to do something really cool. Something that's been highly recommended
by many many people! What accent is that? I have no idea! I'm
probably offending just about everyone now! [In a British accent] So Jordan, does this really cool thing
That we're going to do rhyme with "Lobo shmeshtible"? Yes, I think your does as a matter of fact.
You and these accents today! [Laughter]
This festival is called "Globos." It happens every year!
[Maddie correcting Jordan's Spanish] Yes, it happens every year!
And there's a lot of people here! There's a DJ! There's music!
This is a tradition.
That started in 1997.
Now, we're talking in Spanish.
I don't know why but we are.
Yes, yes. All in Spanish!
The weather is a little humid.
And a little hot. And it's a little cloudy.
So it's fun! Yes.
Every minute there's a new balloon rising up.
This one is next.
[Laughing]
Oh shit! Oh my gosh! It's on fire! It's on fire!
Oh shit!
Oh gosh!
Oh man!
It's heating up! When the Globo Fest goes wrong!
[Laughter] Oh gosh, oh gosh!
How awful. There's a lot - I think a lot of work goes into all of these balloons.
And, they go up in flames! They're on fire.
Okay, so we've only been here for like five minutes and some friends of ours
just told us that one of them got stuck in the power lines and just zapped it!
Which was quite a spectacle! And then one just lit on fire! What I want to know is
these things look like they're going like hundreds or thousands of feet.
Or miles? Hundreds of miles? Where do they end up? They
just fall in people's backyards and all of a sudden you have a balloon, a hot air balloon thingy.
In your backyard or something? [Laughter] That's gotta be a fun
surprise for someone!
What is this? What the hell?
About every minute, another balloon goes up here. There's so many people! There's a
lot of energy. Tons of vendors, an announcer, music. It's a
lot of fun! It takes a half dozen people to get one of these off the ground. At least.
[Someone in the background] Here goes the dog, watch. Here goes the dog.
[Cheering]
So in something like freshman year, I was in a biology class or some type of
science class. And we made balloons like these out of tissue paper. And lit them
up. But I don't remember having to put something on them. Like each one has like
a - This one had a bag filled with water. It makes sense to counterbalance it. Yeah
I think the one that lit on fire maybe didn't have one of those. [Laughter]
So they just roped off this
crime scene here, or soon to be crime scene. Oh my gosh, Jordan!
We almost made it inside. What do
you think is going to happen? More balloons going up!
[In a British accent] We're gonna have to see what's gonna happen!
[In an English accent] Yes, we shall see what's going to happen with these balloons.
I think this one's gonna be huge!
Yeah, this is gonna be the biggest one yet! No
wonder they had to rope off this giant square here. Someone told us that
last year they were sitting in the stands, and a balloon caught on fire, and
went into the stands. I guess when I was picturing that, I was picturing a balloon
and about, I don't know, a foot in diameter.
[Laughter] This one is going to be a gargantuan!
Yeah. [Jordan, back to his weird accent] Can you see what the balloon says?
No. Do you want to go over my shoulders so
you can see? [In an English accent] No! Last time you dropped me. You just about
Dropped me on the floor. I have never dropped you!
Not hard. Lie!
[Laughter] Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire! [Laughter]
This is the gigantic one
going up right now! I think it's the biggest one we've seen yet. We'll see if it starts on
fire and goes into the crowd. Hope not!
Uh-oh!
Oh no, it's ripped.
This one's a disaster! Oh God!
Oh no!
It's too good to be true. Too big to be true. Sad!
Over on this and there's a pink spongebob going up, so we're going to go
check him out.
It's Patrick.
He's the starfish. [Laughter]
Definitely, definitely not. A pink spongebob.
It's a Patrick.
It's not a sponge.
[Laughter] Or a Bob. [Laughter]
[Announcer in English] Oh my God. Left and right. Here we go!
[Announcer in Spanish] Colors, Hearts. Both represent Ajijic. Bravo!
You guys, we're not here to lie to you. Sometimes we go to things and we don't
know how great they're gonna be. I had sneaking suspicions that this was going
to be kind of lame. But this super cool!
I mean, seeing all of these in the air, one caught
on fire. I'm waiting for someone else to - not someone. Something
Some other balloon to get electrocuted.
[Announcer in Spanish] Let's go pretty balloons! UP!
[In an English accent] My gosh! Look who we just ran into!
It's Jerry from Jerry Brown Travels!
Hey!! Party time here!
Yeah! What do you think about this so far?
I love it, I love it, I love it!
And you guys? What do you think about it?
This is so cool! This is awesome! There's
There's a lot more people than I was expecting!
It's awesome, huh? Just completely different!
Yeah. By the way guys, if you haven't already, check out Jerry Brown Travels channel!
On YouTube. We're going to link it right here.
Or right here, I don't remember which. Or right there, there, there.
[Laughter] So looking up behind us here, you can just see tons and tons of balloons up
there. And one just burned up. [Laughter] In the air. Yeah.
Oh no!
Bug Bunny is dying!
Oh my gosh, Jordan!
It seems like anyone can put a balloon up.
I'm kind of sad we didn't make a Tangerine balloon! [Laughter]
I wonder who made this one. I would like to know. ("Owl" world play)
Owl like to know? Owl like to know.
Double owl pun. Double-pun-tendre. (More word play)
[Laughter] Pun-tendre.
So in that one we just saw go up, this one had a bag of water. They needed to let
out a little bit of water because it was slightly too heavy, and it went straight up.
[Jordan in a weird accent] I estimate their chance of survival increases tenfold once they get about 50
feet up in the air. Much math!
[Laughter] This is like weirdly fun! I mean.
Stuff is light on fire. Stuff is getting electrocuted. People are running around.
Kids are screaming. What's not to like?
I've always been kind of a pyro and I
keep running towards the fires. Oh my gosh! [Laughter]
Did you think this was going to be so fun though?
No I didn't. Or interesting? But yeah, I'd come here every
year. Yeah, totally! And it's free!
Free as well. And next year Tangerine Travels balloon if we're still here!
[Announcer in Spanish] This pretty balloon. Let's go up!
So we've been here for two, maybe two and a half hours.
And this is non-stop balloons, just one after another!
I originally thought this might be a "1, 2, 3, liftoff" And then
100 balloons go in the air. 50 or something.
And I thought they were going to be small balloons. And some of these are huge! Like just gigantic!
This thing is massive! These huge ones don't have a high chance of surviving though.
We'll see if it works.
[Cheering]
It's huge!
[Cheering]
