Episode 133 - The Fofão Chapado Curse, Carreta Furacão and Other Odd Street Performers (feat. Jake)

In Brazil there is a bizarre child's character with an iconic face known as Fofão. There is a supposed curse that surrounds the doll made of the character that conceals a black knife within the toy's torso. 40 Years later, a group of street performers called Carreta Furacão dresses up as this character and also Mario and Jim Carrey's The Mask. They run and do backflips off abandoned houses and their gigantic glowing party bus in small quiet towns of Brazil. We also look at other interesting street performers.
