186: A Very Spooky Sumo Halloween

We are starting a new holiday tradition. For Valentines Day and now Halloween, we are going distinctly lowbrow and ridiculous. With Halloween as our inspiration, we share 3 “scary” stories of sumo related haunting and terror. All rules are off the table. This one features cussing and a long discussion about the anatomy involved in mawashi wearing. It came from a listener question, we promise! We’ll get back to serious sumo stuff next week. 0 - 10:30 News from the web featuring the best interview reponses from sumo wrestlers and what happened when a good looking celebrity visited a sumo heya 10:30 Listener Question about Mawashi and Male Anatomy This is about nakedness, y'all 15:00 Story 1 The Cuke Spooks 24:00 Tochinoshin’s Retirement Wine Tasting 24:45 Story 2 The Black Shadow Sumo Stable 33:40 Story 3 The Headless Haunting of Tokyo More about Sumo Kaboom and our BINGO game: www.sumokaboom.com Big Sumo Fan (https://bigsumofan.com)sponsors our BINGO game.
