What happens at a Celtic Festival? That’s the question for this week’s episode of Men At Work (like, subscribe, share). Did I know what a Celtic Festival was a week ago? No. Would I go back?

People literally dress in 100 pounds of chain mail and beat the shit out of each other with shields and swords and any other medieval object they can find. It’s insane. Then you have a bunch of people in kilts lifting telephone poles and throwing weights over a nine foot bar. It’s apparently some ancient Scottish Highland Games. They let us join in. Before you watch this keep in mind this was AFTER 2.5 hours of the most grueling podcasting a person can do:

I’m all for kilts making a rotation into my daily life. The breathability in those things have to be second to none:
