Aww, when they were interested in what the goats were doing, laughing and apologizing to the goat for scaring it makes me so happy! This video added to my good day!

Yall know he will kill the goat and eat and probably drink the blood too

[@npeace312]

The African guy said holy cow. I'm dying laughing. They use that phrase. I love it!

[@brainrich1358]

"Holy cow!" "No, those are goats."

[@h.r.puffinstuff431]

In this case it worked!! The fainting protected the goats from being taken and eaten!! 😊

[@fumomofumosarum5893]

well they are still being eaten. just not by those 2 travellers.

[@agodfather1975]

..noo way we're going to eat a fainting goat.." smart

[@ultrasonicradiation]

These are true Africans who are not disconnected from their roots. They have pride in their eyes and self respect in their hearts.

[@Kaneki6386]

Well they speak another language, so it makes sense that he is not familiar with all english. When learning a new language "gene" is usually not the first word you learn.

[@SanaagSomaliland]

Gene sounds like Jin in Swahili. Jin is anglicised as Genie in English language.

[@BroadwayGalGA]

The best Fainting Goats video yet! What a nice sharing of cultures.

[@kittona8754]

They're so cool with each other, aren't they? Like, they are from such different cultures, but so interested in each other and friendly and polite. Wish it was always like that.

[@kiriakos.17]

youtube algorithm will make this video famous one day and i'm here before that happened, so hi

[@JoseARamos-is9ke]

You guys should feature these guys in more videos. They are really funny and are different in a great way

[@SepherStar]

These goats are not genetically modified, they have a naturally occurring genetic mutation. Eating them will not hurt you, but the meat might be a bit tough.

[@jjames8996]

Those people were so sweet and caring

[@bvegannow1936]

Sarcasm?

[@reichlinsmall9765]

"No way we're gonna eat the fainting goat" *Superstitious* I've eaten many a duck, and have yet to grow wings and fly!

[@charliedeew5416]

The goat may be fainting because it’s ill, and you should never eat compromised live stock.

[@IaRainbowBright]

2:07 He is so sweet!

[@scarredsky]

just got done watching the new york episode...its amazing how much simple insight they have on our culture that we often overlook.

[@DaDoc540]

These are myotonic (fainting) goats, which are goats afflicted with myotonia congenita, a hereditary neuromuscular disorder in which skeletal muscles remain contracted and cannot relax after sudden voluntary contraction.

[@MartyredxMaiden]

They are so funny and gorgeous. LOL

[@AtheistBrit]

Aw that was so sweet when he apologised to the goat for scaring him! Fainting goats are cool. I want one :)

[@alphabuster187]

These 2 guys are fery funny...

[@hypermarche8934]

Best documentary clip I’ve ever watched.

[@coltsfan4lyfe]

I delivered on a farm once in Tulare, CA that had fainting goats. There were 3 other drivers there that had never seen one. I explained to them about em. So then I hit my air horn and hilarity ensued. They wouldn't stop hitting their horns...

[@ChuckKeough]

[@GabrielleFiroentino]

So sweet !

[@boricuadelight]

haha i love this. those guys are so funny. i love their reactions to the goats cuz its true, if u hadnt heard of them before and u eat a lot u'd prob. react the same. they are good sports. funny guys haha. this clip is great :D

The KZbin Algorithm clearly hates actual Quality videos lmao.

[@BurnOutXL]

There's a video of these two with a cheerleading squad on Nat Geo. Great cultural interaction, and the Texans are great folk, too. Love that @ 1:56 -- "Wheo Wheo!," faint, "Ohhhh, come on goat ... I'm sorry." People are the same everywhere. Good stuff.

[@anikinippon]

I wanna see the whole episode, these dudes are fantastic. The Hyenas would just laugh at these Fainting Goats, joke with each other how it wouldn't be food. The mother Hyena would get mad and spoil the fun by telling them to stop playing with their food

I totally understand their reasoning for not wanting to eat a fainting goat but I also understand that it’s all superstition that you’ll faint like them just from eating their meat. 😄

Wonder what they would think of a sea lion. That would be great to see.

If you eat a fainting goat, it doesn't cause you to faint, you turn into a goat. 🐐🐐🐐

[@BRUTALunicorn]

because they probably use different language to talk about breeding in Kenya, just because they can speak english dosn't mean that they know all scientific words as well

[@richardkentrbk]

what is this show called!!!?

[@Sergio-fu7mv]

What cool people. This is why I love Africans. They have good senses of humor, and are overall VERY normal people. African Americans are so different from them. Not trying to be racist just stating what I myself have seen.

Lolz, he srry to scare the goat, but not to eat it!!!

This was no where near long enough wow I’ve goat stich lol No way am I eat fainting goat can you imagine telling these guys I’m taking you for fast food they be like no way am I eating cheater 😂😂😂

[@nenecookz927]

What was the name of this show?

[@skybluepainter]

Definately the best Fainting/Myotonic Goat vid yet! But I'm kinda confused why these guys don't know anything about genes. I would think they'd have some resources to inform them of how to sustain their herds with good breeding and such.

[@nikkizzlefoshizzle]

No So when the farmer said "Gene" then the one guy said "Jin??" 'Cause that's what he initially thought the Farmer was implying, until he got some context. Basically- the word Gin/Jin (many different spellings of it) means - Spirits/Ghosts/demons/etc. That's term that most Africans use to refer to Any sort of Paranormal spirit or entity. That's why when the Farmer essentially said "[They faint because] They have a gene" the other guy's thought process as like... "Wait, the goats are possessed/ have a demon inside of them?" It was def a comment for at least partially-comedic relief, 'cause they are def trying to make people laugh with this show! I hope this clears it up. I know it's been 9 years lmao. But other people who are confused will def be reading through the comments and this is public domain & I like to help people lol
