(00:00):
Do you go to this new way peopleare sending mail to each other?
What owls like sending owls to? People.
No, that's that's in the past. Dude.
This is new. This is e-mail.
E-mail Yeah. Does the E stand for an eagle?
Yeah, well, it's faster than owls.
I mean, that would make sense. I don't know why we haven't been
using eagles this whole time nowthat I.
Yeah, well, unfortunately it is an Eagles.
Oh, it's electronic mail. Electronic mail?

(00:22):
What is that? Is that like lightning?
Like electricity? Wizard spells to send mail.
Kinda. They use their computer.
Yeah, yeah. It's kind of like human magic,
you know? It's like, yeah, it's pretty.
It's pretty high tech stuff. OK, Human magic, you say?
Nothing good ever came from human magic, mate.

(00:42):
What? What?
What can human magic do that we can't do?
What can they? Can they write a scroll in five
seconds or 500 words? Scroll in five seconds?
Yeah. They can.
They can do that now, yeah. Wait, what?
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty. It's pretty amazing.
Well, they probably can't createhyper realistic images with
anything that you can think of using an orb or something like.

(01:03):
No, they can. They can do that.
They can do that, Yeah. I mean, it's pretty realistic.
Well, they, well, they probably can't replicate videos of, of
people that you know and like famous celebrities and making it
look super hyper realistic to the point where it
misinformation travels quickly faster than an owl.
They can. They can do that too.
Yeah, that's that's actually oneof the most popular ones.

(01:24):
I literally saw SpongeBob get arrested in a Walmart the other
day. That's.
Concerned. Yeah.
OK, wow. Do you think we're do you think
our job's safe? No, we're we're out of a job.
Wizards won't exist in 10 years time.
No, it's going to be that. Sorry bro.
Welcome back to the Wizards Tower.
I guess for the last time the. Wizard's Tower.

(01:53):
What were you listening to in the car today?
What was I listening to? I don't know.
It was What was it called? It was called like Blue Wizards
song or something like that. I think my my hat is blue, but
my potion's. Red.
Well, my hat's blue. My bone.
'S real country. Yeah, been brewing potions all

(02:15):
day just to keep my babe. Something like that.
Yeah, damn, yeah. We need a release though.
That sounds like a fucking banger out there.
Got a Princess in my tower. You spent way too long in
America bro. In country America, jumping
around a truck. Not slave my dragon.
Now I got up. Fuck, I got a fuck.

(02:38):
Wait, hang on, hold on. Wait.
Hang. On a second, what the hell?
Yeah. Is that the, is that how we're
starting? Yeah, that's OK.
All right. So we're still that wasn't
getting cut. No, we'll leave all that.
OK. And this as well.
OK, that's good. That's cool.
Yeah, I got back from America. Yeah, I got back from Vegas 3 or
4 days ago now. Yep, feels like a lifetime ago.
Yeah, honestly, it's just it's all a distant memory now.

(03:00):
Yeah, I reckon it would be. I don't even think I can tell
you this what happened. Oh, you forgot.
So, so distant. Now I'm like a.
Anyway, next? 9 year old man.
Anyway, peace battle I. Sort of gotta.
I'm kind of like my memories at the point, you know, I got to.
It's so far long ago, I don't remember it.
So you got to wait until I get Alzheimer's so that I then
relive it and then you can get the story again.
Yeah. You've missed your window.

(03:21):
Call of Duty. Oh God.
Oh, I got to get up, do the stream, no.
Grandpa, you haven't been in Vegas for 60 years.
I do it stream. Oh shit, my parents.
Chat, chat, chat. What did you did?
You see that? Chat, chat.
I got Alzheimer's. Chat chat are you seeing this
right now? Are.
You seeing this right now? Oh, shit, Chat.

(03:42):
That's crazy. Yeah, No, let's go back from
Vegas. It was good, man.
It was a really, it was a great trip.
You know, the first time I went to Vegas was the first time I
went to the US was San Francisco.
Yes, and you had raving reviews about that.
You. Love that place, most horrific
time of my entire life and just,you know, just like the, the
world was laughing at me, you know, yes, I had to fly back

(04:03):
into San Francisco before getting to Vegas.
There's a bit of. Yeah, yeah, Cosmic karma.
I was like what the hell? I'm back.
Universe is laughing at me. Why am I back here?
You've just been playing COD warzone all stream and came to
another war zone. You're like oh God, penis is
everywhere. Ohh God no.
I I've sorry. It was 24 hours of travel.

(04:24):
Yeah, sorry. From Melbourne to San Francisco,
4 hours stopover. In Melbourne.
No, yeah, no, it was, it was a 20.
It was a 27 year stopover. Holy shit.
Yeah, dude, I got born. I had a 27 year stopover and
then I got and then they flew. Me out God, wow, it's been
leading up to there No, you've just been perpetually waiting

(04:47):
for this flight for your whole life.
Oh my God, no. I and.
Then it was a so I flew there 4 hours stopover in San Francisco.
Oh yeah. Then I flew to 24 hours of
travel all up. Yeah, it was brutal.
Yeah, that's right. And then it turns out I remember
emailing them. Hey, guys. 4 hours seems like
quite a long time to be as on a stopover.
Is there any wiggle room there? Yeah.

(05:09):
And they said no. And yeah.
And as it turns out, there was, because every other person had a
one hour stopover. From Australia, yeah.
And they were like 4 hours. I, I was like one hour.
That's. Crazy I.
Was like, you are kidding me, dude.
But anyway, yeah, it's grateful.Grateful though.

(05:30):
No, that was good. It was fine.
Yeah. I hate when my flights get paid.
For me and I have a four hour stopover.
Oh well. Oh.
Free flight? Oh, premium recorders all over.
Oh, everything's free. What was me?
I know what those countries music singers were singing
about. Yeah.
I've got a moral stop over. My friend was painful.

(05:50):
Right, being an influencers playing hard work.
I tell you right. I, you know, I think influencers
don't get paid enough because I tell you what, if if you gotta
live in LA, yeah, fuck you wannabe making.
Some real money. Gotta live over there. 100%.
But yeah, no, I saw I made it over there, survived.
First thing I had was can you guess what I had first thing I

(06:11):
had when I was over there. I saw your Snapchat made your
Snapchat. I saw your Instagram story, you
had an egg sandwich with a coffee that was really bad.
Yeah, it was an egg, egg, bacon and cheese sandwich.
OK, that sounds really good actually.
I'm sure everything in that was delicious.
It was. Egg would have been Oh yeah, it
was beautiful. All right, I'm.
The bacon would have tasted real.

(06:31):
I'll talk. I'll talk about the coffee
first. OK, I might be all the coffee I
could imagine. Freshly ground coffee.
I'd just be. My biggest, my biggest critique
of the whole of the US Coffee isso shit, so astronomically shit,
I can't believe people drink it over.
There. Well, yeah.
Like I can understand why energydrinks have such a large

(06:52):
foothold in the US specifically because coffee is the worst way
to get caffeine over there because they it's pre ground
coffee that's usually been sitting there for a few weeks.
In the first few hours of grinding coffee you lose most of
the flavour and then and then they, you know, burn it most of
the time as well. And then they let it sit in a
giant jug for hours just on. Here, I always thought it was so

(07:15):
cool in like, cop shows. Another coffee.
Yeah. And there's porn coffee,
actually, all that. Yeah, that's so good.
Thanks, this is great as I eat my fake fucking powdered eggs as
well. Oh.
Thanks. Thanks for you Hawking.
I have more eggs. Yeah, fake eggs.
Yeah, dude, it, the coffee I hadat the airport especially was
the worst. Genuinely tasted like this.

(07:35):
Yeah, like I she like, I was like, yeah, I'll just have a
coffee as well because I saw that machine, or at least I
thought it was a machine. And then as I'm paying, she
ducks off, comes back with a cupand I was like, damn, that was
fast. I was like, is that, is that my
coffee? And she's like.
Yeah, yeah, that's that's your coffee cream and cream and.
Milk is over there and I was like cream and milk's out there.

(07:56):
Fuck I thought that cream was milk.
Do they not cook it's cream? Something different.
Cream. And then there's milk.
Cream is like sugary milk. Is it like thick?
Like cream? I guess I didn't use it, but
sounds scary. Yeah, a lot of people like if
you want a good coffee, you got to ask for a double, double.
You want which is. You want 4.
Cream which is 2, cream 2 Sugar,which is basically 4 sugars
because cream actually. If you want a good heart attack,

(08:17):
yeah. If you want a good coffee, you
got to make sure you get the double choco mocha latte,
Pumpkin spice Ice Cream Sandwichlatte sandwich.
Latte. It's like just a fixer.
It comes in an IV bag. It's this coffee.
I don't know. Oh.
Here's your spoon. Thanks.
No, I just want a cappuccino. We only do coffee.

(08:40):
I know that is a coffee. Yeah.
So that was fucking shit. I'm going to play a little game
with you called. Guess what was real in this
sandwich. OK, so you saw the sandwich I
had. Yes, yes.
Egg, bacon, cheese, cheese, bread I'm assuming.
All right, guess, guess which part of that was real.

(09:00):
The salt. Mate, probably.
Not. Probably not.
OK, was the Do you think the bacon was real?
Well, I never back there Bacons like looks good, but just it's
just shit yeah. Yeah, I'd have to say the.
Eggs are real, surely? No, the eggs eggs were.
The eggs were the second fakest part.
Oh my God, the cheese. The cheese couldn't have been

(09:20):
real. The.
Cheese was, Yeah. The cheese was like orange.
Like bright radioactive orange. Yeah.
That's good cheese though. Yeah, that sounds like good.
The egg was powdered the bacon egg.
Was powdered to. Have been fucking fake.
What do you mean egg was powdered?
Like powdered eggs. So it's like it comes in a
powder cheaper. What is it?
They do it on school camp. Powdered eggs.

(09:40):
Yeah, it makes scrambled eggs. So as a powder.
Yeah, like milk, like powdered milkshake from.
Yeah, and then you add water to it and fluff it up, and then it
makes an egg and then you cook it.
Why? It doesn't make an egg, that's
not. It fluffs it up.
Think powdered powdered egg. It's not made of like.
It's not actually an egg though.They haven't like ground down an
egg into. Powder.
Well, I don't know the science behind powdered eggs.
You're asking the wrong guy. I didn't really.

(10:02):
I didn't really pass alchemy. I don't.
Know powdered milk, which I alsothink is kind of.
Crazy, that's the same concept. Same concept but.
With eggs, yeah. God, can I do powdered steak?
Probably do over. Here.
Yeah, well, I'd be fucked. I don't know.
Mushy mince. Yeah.
Powder. Yeah, I don't know about that.
So it was powdered egg. So that was disgusting.
The the bacon was just a texture.

(10:22):
It didn't taste like anything. And the cheese was also a
texture. It didn't taste.
I think the bread was real. I think that was the one thing
that was real. Although I've seen all those tik
toks of people scrunching up, scrunching it up and it just
comes back out. What is?
That you reckon? You reckon that's the sugar in
it? It's.
It's like a high amount of like a preservative.
In it, it's just, it's just a sponge from the sink, like

(10:43):
that's just what they got in. There like I think.
It's powdered bread. It's what powdered bread does.
I remember reading up on it. It was like, it's like just one
thing that you could do here. It's just like 1 ingredient.
Yeah, that's really high over there.
That's it just makes it last longer.
Yeah. Well, I thought, like all of
their food is it's just lasting as long as I can, isn't it?
I. Think it's 'cause it's just such
a big country. Yeah, there's so many people,

(11:04):
yeah. So they just make a lot of
fakes. Anyway, anyway, we're getting
off topic here, so we're still at the airport.
It was powdered eggs, coffee, coffee and a sandwich.
So. Where was I powdered that?
Stuff was pretty bad and I'll just quickly touch on it.
I'll just say, first of all, America beautiful country.
Yes, OK, Yes, it is spectacular.The amount of how the land, the

(11:28):
the mountains, the fact that there's like snowy peaks snowy.
Peaks, Grand Canyon, it's beautiful.
Oh my God, they've got everything.
It is. It is a beautiful.
Country I'm Rd. tripping around America would actually be a
great time. Yeah, it it is beautiful, yeah.
But the few things that I don't like about it are quite big
things. Buckle up America, hot tanks

(11:48):
coming in. EG OK, first and foremost, like
we were touching on the food andI've, I've spoken about this on
stream, I've figured it out. And when I was in San Francisco,
I was like, what is going on with the food?
Couldn't figure it out. This time, dude, I've got it.
I've nailed it. I know exactly.
What's wrong with the food? I couldn't pinpoint it.
Everything for some, for some reason, everything over there,

(12:10):
whether fruit, vegetables, meat,fucking bread, whatever it is.
Sounds good to me so far. Everything there is looks
exactly like what you would expect it to look like.
You cut it up, you you'd start eating it.
It feels exactly like, OK, this is a steak.
It feels like a steak in my mouth, but the flavour is like

(12:31):
40% less than what it should be.And that goes for everything
like. Everything and there's like a
plain version of it. You're like, yeah, this should
taste like chicken, but it doesn't.
It tastes like kind of nothing, but it's got the texture.
Of the food it should taste like.
Why is that? I think it has something to do
with corn feeding, feeding all of their livestock, using

(12:54):
chemicals to grow their food. Like I think there's just like
quantity over quality, like massproduction.
Hemia, OK. What if when you go into
America, it's like going into the Matrix, but it's like a less
of, you know, when he's eating the steak, he's like, oh, I know
this isn't juicy steak, but like, my brain's telling me it
is. What if they're just computers,
Just not that cold? Up in America.
He's like, this is just not as good, you know?

(13:16):
What I mean the the US servers US.
Servers, they're just, yeah, they're lagging a little.
It's just like a high ping. Yeah, I think that's why.
I think that's why we're. Playing network and your ping's
too high, Yeah, and everything'sjust a little bit laggy.
No, that makes sense. Yeah, I.
Think that's probably what it is.
Yeah, that makes sense. But I figured it out.
I was like, you know what this is like everything is like just
a lot more bland over there. I'm talking like I had some
pineapple pineapple in my. I was like, this should taste

(13:39):
like a pineapple. It feels like it's a pineapple,
but it tasted like watery pineapple.
Juice, this is a listening podcast.
Can you just describe what pineapple because we've got?
OK, so picture this picture an apple.
OK, but imagine some Pines on it.
That's kind of what? That's kind of what?
A pineapple. Tastes like I didn't even
realize that's why they called it that.
That's great. All right, picture come.
OK, now picture. Picture come tasting really

(14:01):
sweet. OK that's what happens when so
yeah okay cut so so I think thatexplains why there's so many
condiments over there Communist is such a big thing is because a
lot of the food is pretty bland that's why they put ranch on
everything they're just you knowit's.
So interesting. Yeah, because I love putting
that BBQ sauce and smoking theirmeats.

(14:23):
It's not a big thing here. Yes, Yeah.
Yeah, you're right. You know, obviously we season
stuff, we're not animals, but it's like you don't need to
season it as much, it feels likeso, so the food kind of sucks.
Second thing, coffee fucking sucks.
Ball sacks. Nobody actually can you make
coffee? Can you compare like like a
steak to a steak? Like as in like if you get like

(14:43):
a frozen chicken breast or like like you eat like a frozen food
is like that level of like lesser quality or you're gonna
have frozen stuff still a high quality in there like fresh
stuff. It's tough to say.
I think, you know, I mean, I, I would imagine frozen stuff is
still higher quality here as well because of the sheer amount
of ingredients that they're allowed in the US.
Yeah, yeah. You go into a shop and like, you

(15:04):
look on the side, half the box is reserved for the ingredients
in frozen stuff. Yeah, yeah, Like frozen
preserved stuff's way worse. Way worse, yeah.
But OK, so food's not great, coffee's not great.
The third thing, that's not great, right?
So this isn't, I like to say this is not a full
generalization of the whole country.

(15:25):
This is your experience. This is my experience, my lived
experience. Do not invalidate my lived
experience so I met so many niceAmericans over there of.
Course, of course I did. Yeah, but but.
I met so many of the rudest individuals I have ever met in
my entire life and America as a whole.

(15:45):
So many rude people, like mainlycustomer service and I don't
really know what that is but like just an example getting on
the fucking plane. I'll give you, I'll give you.
I know why it is. OK, well, we'll save that for a
second. We'll say what?
What is it? They get paid.
Fuck off. Oh.
Yeah, that's right. That's.
What, you gonna expect them to get paid half what we get paid
and then walk around the :) and be nice?

(16:07):
Yes. No, fuck that.
Shit, maybe they do too. Maybe they get paid more.
Yeah, maybe you tip them more. Yeah, that's the other thing.
Shit. Customer service expects it.
Yeah. That's crazy.
Yeah, fuck you, man, That that sucks.
Yeah. I'll give you an example of just
the first rude customer service experience I'm getting on the

(16:28):
plane from Melbourne to LA or whatever it is.
San Francisco, American flight attendant.
This wench, this absolute wench.I'll call her a wench.
I don't care. She's a wench.
All right? And I'll give you, I'll tell you
exactly why she's a wench. I'm walking on the plane.
It's a giant Boeing. It's got 2 lanes.
That's how big it is. Wow.
Like it's, it's not like one individual.

(16:49):
Role. It's two that is big.
I've never been on one of them. It's pretty big, Yeah, Yeah.
Seats are the same size. The plane's just bigger.
More, more seats. It's.
Weird. It's weird that like a bus
that's in the same lane as a careven though it has a anyway.
Yeah, that's a whole another. Problem.
That's a whole another. Thing, yeah, so I'm getting on
the plane. I'm looking at these two lanes
here. I look at my ticket, it says I'm
row C and I'm like, OK, row C, which lane is this down?

(17:13):
So I turned to the flight attendant because she's not
checking people's tickets as well, which I thought was
insane. That's kind of crazy.
Yeah. And I and not telling people
which lane they're going becauseusually, you know, you like.
Just on your go to the Yeah. Oh, it's.
Just on your left here, O25C Yeah, that's on your right.
Whatever. I go up to her and I go, oh,
excuse me, Miss I which one is lane C?

(17:33):
And she goes and then turns around and goes, all right,
everybody. Listen up.
Just so I don't. Have to waste my breath.
Dead set word for word, but babyGod.
What is she, a fucking teacher? Wanted to ruin your life?
So I don't have to waste my breath.
Yo. It's your job.
It's literally your job. Oh.
You're not giving her a tip. What's that much?

(17:55):
So I don't have to waste my breath.
Wow. Lane C is down here, Lane A is
over there. OK.
And I went, Oh my God, thank you, crazy.
Oh my God, thank you so much. Oh, thank you so much.
Walking off I was like, that is so rude.
That's like when your teacher walks past me, you do an exam
and looks over and he goes just everyone read the questions

(18:15):
carefully and you're just like, oh fuck.
But. Insane.
Literally your job when you get on an airline, you shot them
ticket and they go, yeah, no, like Blair.
Go here, Blair. That's crazy.
That's the whole point of their job.
Yeah, dude. And leaving the plane, they're
not like, thank you, see you next time.
Nothing, nothing. And I don't know man.
And for some reason it's main character syndrome.

(18:36):
Yeah, actually is what it is. Everyone just hates their life.
Everyone thinks they're the maincharacter over there.
Everyone else is MPCS. Yeah, I'm gonna make it
millions. Of dollars.
There's no empathy for anybody else.
And maybe it's just a cultural thing.
I'm really not. Sure, it might be a cultural
thing. It might just be like, we don't
need you don't say that. You don't need to say.
That yeah, we just don't. It's.
Expected. It's expected.
Yeah. I I think that's what it is.
Like, even when I said thank youto people, no one says you're

(18:59):
welcome. Yeah, you'd be like, oh, wow,
thank you so much. And they go, OK, and then just
walk off. You'd be like, wow, that's so.
It's considered so rude here. But I guess over there maybe it
is pretty. That's just a pilot culture.
Yeah, it's weird to say thank you.
So I had so. Many bad customer service
experiences like that you know Ihad I had a lady at the airport.

(19:20):
I bought 3 cookies and I get thebag.
I had to tip her as well, this wench.
On a fucking airline. No when I was at the airport,
sorry. So I've got 3 cookies and she
gives me the bag, I pay for it, I tip her.
It was like $14.00 US. It's a lot of money and it's
like. 30 bucks for fucking 3 cookies, $10 a cookie.
Yeah. And then I open the bag and I

(19:42):
go, oh, sorry, excuse me, there's only two cookies,
cookies in here. There's only two.
And she goes there's. Three in there.
And I go, OK, so yeah. So I'm looking at there's only
two and she goes. There are three cookies in
there. And I went, OK, so I'm counting
them right now and I count, I count 2 cookies and she goes,
she goes. There are three.

(20:03):
And I show it to her and she's like oh oh oh and then grabs 1
and she goes. What's the other cookie you.
Want and I went. I want a 22 macadamias, 1 double
chalk. Oh triple chalk.
Don't say. Chalk.
Chalk. Don't talk chalk Cookie.
Boom. That was me at the airport.
Boom, just blew the fucking airport up.
Give me my cookie Boom you get 5big booms.

(20:28):
Yeah, and she's like. And she's like, oh, OK.
And then she gives me the other cookie.
And then she has the fucking audacity to double down.
She goes. You should.
Have asked for three cookies. And I said I did.
I paid for three cookies, so I paid for three.
You input three. You knew I wanted 3.
I paid $10 a cookie. Yeah, And then she's like, and
she had the audacity, like you should have paid for three.

(20:49):
You should have asked for three cookies.
When I went, I went, oh, well, Iactually did.
And she's like, well, no you. Didn't, that's why I gave you 2.
And I was like, fuck Mahaber. And I went, oh whatever, thank.
You. What's the whole point?
You like this? This.
There's only two cookies in it. No, there's actually three.
Why do you? What do you mean you just ask
for three and then you? Tell me I didn't ask for three
what I'm telling. You this, I don't think she
could do basic math because my God, I said yeah hey, could I

(21:12):
just grab 2 macadamias and one triple chalk?
And I think she just Oh yeah, 2 macadamias.
No, no. Plus 1/2 plus one.
But the whole argument of you being like, there's only two
cookies in here and her going no, there's three.
And then at the end going you all, you should have asked for
three. And I'm like, dude, that's what
I'm saying. But we but but we main tool, we
had this interaction where you all wanted three.
Yeah. What are you saying at the end

(21:33):
of this? It makes no sense.
Yeah. It's just fucking bullshit.
Oh my God. And I tipped her.
Worst part? The Wench.
Tipped her. I tipped the wench for an
argument. It was argument.
Thank you for the. Argument.
Yeah. Oh, thank you.
Here's a tip. Oh, great banter, you fucking.
Idiot. Oh, you won.
Oh, there you. Go she just it just woah that
that's just two experiences spoils me that of a lot of.

(21:55):
Them that triggered me big time.Yeah, dude.
And I'll talk about, you know, I'll get on to the positive
soon. I'll say this is probably the
last negative that that I I willsay.
And that was getting scanned in Vegas.
And that's just Vegas. Vegas as a whole is kind of it's
a tourist trap, you know, and people go there to spend money.
It's like more expensive than normal, but I wanted to go over

(22:16):
there and I wanted to shoot someguns before I left Classic.
And I was like, man. I'm in America.
I've got to shoot some fucking guns, man.
In America, so. That turns out they're got.
A photo of her on the with two cookies in her hand.
I'll show you 3 cookies. Boom boom 5 peak booms boom boom
look at that guy named Wench and.

(22:38):
So there's this, there's a shooting range right off pretty
much like 5 minutes away from where we're staying.
So it's like 2 perfect. I'm going to go there.
I get there. I'm like, hey, I want to shoot
some guns. The most, the most depressed
woman I've ever seen in my life,just like, OK.
And then like grabs A laminated sheet, drags up to me and she

(22:58):
goes, all right, so the most popular option is this 1 you get
to shoot a Glock 18, an MP5, an AK47.
Well, I know all that. An M4 and ADMR that's their
favorite. The M4 dude.
Yeah, M4 is their favorite. I'll get into that a bit more
later. And and I was like, Oh yeah,
that that one sounds sick. How much is that?
She goes, it's $312.00 US. That's.

(23:22):
A lot of money. That's a lot of money.
That's $500 Australian. You can.
You can buy a gun for that much money.
And I said to her I was like fuck, that is pretty expensive.
Is there any wiggle room on the price?
And then she has the audacity tolie to my face and go.
Well, if you went anywhere else it would be 600.
Fucking bullshit, I was in Canada like fucking six years

(23:45):
ago or five years ago. I showed like 3 or 4 guns there
and an AK47 for like 100 bucks. Yeah, inflation, mate.
That's the bullet. Drought, you know 3.
Three times. Oh my God.
So I was just. $50 a bullet these days.
But I was like, you know what? I haven't gambled.
You know, I can either leave America having shot some guns or

(24:08):
I can leave America having not shot some guns.
You know, I think I'm just, let's just pay it, whatever.
So when you're in America. I'm in America.
I get, I get to the gun range, you know, I get they give me the
Glock first, they load it. Let's fucking go.
Fuck you first bullet. Boom.
I was like. Oh shit OK, you jokers are
crazy. I was like, oh dude, my fucking

(24:29):
Oh my God, I got a boner. I was like the two, two schools
of thought. I was like school of thought
one. Yeah, that was fucking awesome.
Holy shit. I feel so powerful.
I feel like I could own the world right now.
I feel so good. I get why people love these
things. Second school of thought.
Holy fuck yeah. Why does anybody have this?

(24:51):
Rational school of thought. The second one is you're.
Telling me I can go to a Walmartand I can just buy one of these
things with a fucking ID Yeah. And that's.
It I shouldn't be LED a whole day?
Same day, same day. I can just go and buy this like
nobody. Nobody except for, you know, the
police, like the people that really need nobody should just
have one of these. It's sole purpose is to kill

(25:14):
people. I get I get fully shotgun for
like home defence, yeah, or something like that.
I think that that makes sense tome.
Handcount. Having a fucking any other one
of these guns mental man. It is insane.
Why can't? You just have like rubber
bullets if you fucking If an improvement comes anyway, I'd
shoot him with a shotgun full ofrubber bullets.

(25:35):
Because the bad guy will have real bullets.
Oh, OK, yeah. But if everybody had guns,
nobody would shoot anybody. Fucking syndrome from the
Incredibles. Dude, if you're and I don't want
to make this like a whole knife,like a gun, a gun, you brought a
knife. To it gunfight mate.
No, I. Don't want to make this a whole
like gun debate, but like, it's,it's just, it made me like, why

(25:55):
do people have this? Yeah, you know, it's too
powerful. It is too powerful.
Imagine if the government was like, everyone should carry a
knife and then there would be nostabbings.
Yeah. That seems, yeah.
Wow, I don't, I don't want to carry a knife.
Why doesn't just everybody not have knives?
And then there would be no stabbings.
Fuck that. Yeah, everyone's just getting a
knife fights. Everyone should be just getting

(26:17):
the knife fights instead of fistfights.
What do you mean? So anyway, so I was like, damn,
that's crazy. But anyway, I shot these guns.
It was fun as fuck. Yeah fucking.
But I was thinking in hindsight,I was like, you know, I shot
this AK47 and they were 30 roundmags.
It was very clear they're 30 round mags.

(26:40):
Why did I only shoot like 10 bullets?
15 bullets per mag. My God.
So in the little blurb thing that like 2 mags each gun like
yeah like you get fucking like heaps of shots is crazy.
Yeah, bullshit. Dude.
They half loaded all of the magsso you realistically get one
full mag. They won't tell some dumb
Australian. Dude they gold full tourist

(27:00):
trap. Dude, I got fucked over with it.
Over there you'll pay 600 and they'll fill your mags full, but
here you pay fucking 4. 100 theyhad the audacity at the end of
it all. After 15 you know it took me no
time at all to go through all the demo.
You got fucking 2 bolts in it, Yeah.
They go do you want the do you want the finale?

(27:21):
And I was like, what's the finale?
And they were like, you can shoot a 50 Cal, which is a big.
Barrack 50 caliber like sniper, they'll throw you backwards.
And I was like, how? How much is that?
He's like $50.00. I was like, holy fuck, that's
like $75.00. I was like, how many bullets do
I get? And he goes, just the one.
Suck my balls, man. No, I'm not doing that.

(27:42):
I am not spending $75.00 to shoot one bullet.
Lick me. Yeah, that's crazy.
Lick me where the sun don't shine.
That's. Crazy.
The bullet would cost 5 bucks. $0.30 to my.
Yeah, like just crazy. So I I was like, yeah, no, I'm
not doing that. So I paid for it.
Left. Do you want?
The other for now, yeah, I'll take it back.

(28:03):
And that that was, that was about, that was the extent of
the bad stuff, but the good stuff.
You know, here we. Go.
All right, the good stuff. The Call of Duty event itself
All right, The people I met sensational the Australian crew
we had oh man dude, so much fun.I met so many great Australian
creators like T10 gnat yeah reapes cool.

(28:23):
You know, Crystal, Johnny Tuvasa, who I've been on like
another Call of Duty thing with overtime, who's a really nice
dude. Turns out he's like top 50 war
zone players in the. World and shit.
Get on his team. You'll be on that guy's team,
yeah. Yeah, everyone was just so nice,
so funny, like, yeah, it was, itwas.
That was great. We drove these buggies through

(28:44):
the desert, dude. Yeah.
That looked like a lot of fun. Yeah, we were drowning these
buggies. We were all assigned random
groups. I'm sitting next to this guy.
He's an American. Never spoken to him before.
He's got his helmet on, so I don't know what he looks like.
And I'm like, oh, So what do youdo, man?

Blame Brain Blast. Go back in time.
That's so Raven through the eye.I remember when we were playing
the the Battlefield 6 open beta,my we were all playing my mates
like, oh, I don't have a key. I really want to play.
And we're like, you got to jump on someone's stream for an hour.
You got to watch it and they'll give you a key.

(29:28):
And then, you know, an hour goesby, we're playing and he goes,

I was like, dude, my mate got a battlefield key from you and
he's like, oh dude, that was like my biggest stream ever.

(29:49):

Yeah, Little. Yeah, yeah.

(30:09):
Driving the buggies was sick. You know the hotel we stayed and
was sick. They had like a giant rock in
the in the lobby, just a ginormous boulder.
I was like, what are they sick? Could they not move this thing?
So I got my. Chalk bag builds it so I started
climbing that thing B3. You tell me you built a whole
casino around a rock. Well, is that what they did?

(30:30):
I don't know. They were like, fuck, this
thing's heavy, let's just build around it, build around it,
build around it. We'll Polish it up and we'll say
it's a feature. Yeah, they.
Probably did. The whole of Vegas feels like it
was made by like a 10 year old. Yeah, like a kid.
You know, there's like a roller coaster.
There's a roller coaster in a hotel, but it it, you know what?
It reminds me, one of them has abungee jump or something like

(30:51):
that in one of the hotels. It reminds me of when you're in
city skylines or like some city building game and you just go to
the monument section and you just span monuments and that's
it. Roller coaster.
Let's put Statue of Liberty there.
That'll increase tourism like the.
Pyramids there and. Shit.
Giant castle bucket. Yeah, dude, the luck saw the
pyramid place. Yeah, yeah.

(31:11):
What is that? Is it a casino?
Yeah. Yeah, no, they're all casinos.
That's what I'm saying. That's the very coastal 10.
That's a casino that is like. The slots when you go down
there, that's New York or something like that, Little New
York, Oh. They feel like different areas
for different church. Yeah, they got.
Paris No, they don't. Little Tasmania.

Yeah, it it like when I when I saw the pyramid place, the
Luxor, I was like, dude, next time I'm here, I'm staying in
the pyramid. That's sick, dude.
And I was talking to some Americans.
I was like, dude, oh fuck, I want to stay in the pyramid.

(31:54):
And they were all like, don't dothat, Don't do that.
And I was like, why? What do you mean?
And he's like, you know, that's the most cursed hotel in all of
Vegas. And I was like, what is it?
Yeah, it's haunted. Apparently a bunch of people
died when they built the place. They unlocked some ancient
Egyptian Kurds. Yeah.
Yeah, They made a blasphemy, dude.
Yeah. And so that a bunch of people

(32:16):
died, apparently, like, you don't want to.
You don't want to stay there. Do you want to?
Like stay there more. No that sounds fucked.
I remember one time Criss Angel mind freak floated over like the
balcony or. Something.
And that was that was real. He was just possessed.
Yeah, he's still got a residencythere, man.
He should have went dude, that would have been fucking cool.
But yeah, then I was like, oh, well, maybe I want to stay in
the Excalibur. This Excalibur looks sick.

(32:37):
It's a. Sword, it's a.
Fucking castle and they have like sword fighting events.
And stuff there like. Yeah, it's like jousting.
And then someone in my someone in my chat was like, oh, you get
bed bugs there. It's like really old and there's
bed bugs. That's a bed bug.
Fucking what? Is this the 16th century?
We still have bed bugs. Yeah, I mean.
What the? Fuck, Well that's that's the

(32:58):
part of the castle bro. It's like the it's of course.
Like. If you get bed bugs, pay a
little bit extra. You get the experience, what bed
bugs feel like. Yeah, and if you want to pay a
gold shilling old Sandra over here with fucking syphilis or
come and sleep with you. You'll get the Black Plague.
Yeah, Yeah. Hey, how you doing just.

(33:19):
Like the most fucked up looking like disease person you've ever
seen in your life. Oh perfect.
Another wench. A bomb aid?
Yes, I love medieval times. This is great.
Oh, I'm dead. I can see why virgins were so
sought after in this day. My God.
And I'm dead. I'm dead.
OK, cool. What an experience.

(33:41):
Everybody's disease. OK, great.
Yeah, so. But no, it was it was a great
trip. The event itself was sick.
Playing the game was sick. Zombies is sick.
Nothing but good things to say. Call of Duty, good game.
Yeah, other than the rude peopleover there and also just so many
American creators were rude as fuck as well.
It's crazy. Drop some.

(34:01):
Names bro, let's go. It's so it's so much like AI met
this. Guy called Kyson Nat Rude, short
and rude. Duke Dennis was there.
Yeah, that's pretty. Soon.
Yeah. Duke Dennis was there, the guy
from Breaking Bad that was bald and has like the cartel, cartel
guy with the suit. What's a what?
The twins. He was there.
Yeah. He's just streaming now.
Yeah, really. I was going to get a photo with

(34:21):
him. Well, that's sad, but I didn't
because I thought, I don't know,it's weird, but he was sort of
full posed photos where he's like someone was like strangling
you and he was like. Damn, that's kind of cool.
Yeah, one of the twins was there, Yeah.
Well, I think it's just him. Yeah.
They're not twins. Well, maybe they are.
No, I don't know. But the other?
Twin wasn't. I swear I've seen him in
interviews together. I don't know.
He went to the bathroom, came out with a different shirt on
her. Who knows, man?

(34:43):
Yeah, but he was there. Together and just not speak the
whole stream. Get millions of views.
No, he was there, dude. He was fucking sick.
Yeah, no, it was, it was good. But no, these so many Americans,
like, dude, it was like so clicky, like high school, like
if they didn't know who you were, they didn't want to talk
to you sort of thing. I was, I sat on the bus.
I was literally like, like PeterParker or like Forrest Gump.

(35:06):
I'm like, can I sit here? And I'm like.
Seats take over. Seats taken.
I was like oh OK, Oh my bad, trip me over.
Nice one Parker. I'm like oh Aussie freak, knock
my books out of my hand. Even that like why am I carrying
books? You're like, he's like, oh, a
friend. Oh no, not.
No, it's not like that bad way. But yeah, I like sat down on the

(35:27):
bus. There were only a few seats
left. They counted the seats and there
was like there were 56 seats on the bus.
There were like 5053 taken and we got there and I was like, oh
Joe, I don't think there's any seats left on this bus.
And he's like, there were seats,there are three left and I was
like, fuck. So I went there.
Trust the American account, but.He had a timer.

(35:47):
He had a counter. He fucked it.
So I walk up there and, you know, there's, there's like a
group of Americans like laughingand having fun and there's an
extra seat there. And I was like, hey, am I able
to? I don't know why I'm pretending
I'm holding a backpack. Like I'm that's good.
I was like, do it for sure. I.
Was like, oh, am I able to sit here?
And they're like, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Yeah, yeah, that's fine. And I was like, oh, OK.

(36:09):
And I sit down. Dead silence.
They're not talking anymore. I was like, all right, cool,
this is sick. The guy I'm sitting next to
starts looking out the window and I'm trying.
I start trying to make some conversation.
I'm like, oh, dude, so you're a,you're a streamer.
He's like, yeah, yeah, I'm a streamer.
Goes to back to looking out the window.
What the fuck? I'm like, so I was like, do you
mainly stream Call of Duty or are you like a variety streamer?

(36:31):
And he's like, no, I know Call of Duty.
And I was like, all right, cool.And he's like, yeah, he goes
back to looking out the window. Jesus.
I'm like, how how many years you've been streaming for?
He's like, oh, like like 5-6 years.
Are we going to talk the whole time?
Yeah. Whoa, I'm like, fuck.
And I was like, OK, all right, II get the message.
At this point I'm not going to keep talking to him.
And then where as we're driving to the event, we pass like the

(36:52):
Rio which is another hotel therethat is off the strip.
Apparently it's pretty shit, which I learnt in this
conversation. There was a few few more like.
Dude, the. Freaking Rio, dude, you should
stay there next time. They're almost like, oh, the
only thing you get there is bed bugs.
And I'm like, what the hell is with Vegas and bed bugs, man?
It's a fucking desert, but all right.
And then I went, oh, dude, is that like a really shit hotel?

(37:14):
Is it? And they were like, yeah, it is.
Oh my. God, and then just cut, yeah,
dude, fool, cutting me out the whole time.
And I was like, fuck, all right,cool, I'll just wait till we get
to the event, I guess. And yeah, dude, that that
happened a lot. She's just chucked on the
American accent, bro. You're gonna fit it right in.
I should. No, I just whipped that out.
Yeah I know I'm Australian but people treat me like shit if I

(37:36):
don't put on this accent. Dude, yeah, damn.
I don't know, It's just weird. It's such a very weird clicky.
If they don't, if they just, if they don't know you, This is the
whole industry in general happens at like the, you know,
TikTok awards and stuff as well.If they don't know who you are,
zero attention paid as soon as you show them your follow.
Like how many followers you got?Oh let's be best friends.

(37:58):
Oh dude, we should collab like they're fuck.
With Oh, I can get something from you.
Yeah, that's and that's just howthat whole industry is.
It's not just America, it's justthe whole thing in.
General it is, yeah. That's.
Sad I had this crazy interactionagain.
I was telling I was saying this on stream.
I, I was in the casino after allthe events are done and I'm just
walking around the casino floor,you know, like Robert De Niro in

(38:20):
the hit movie casino walking through, just like with my, with
my casino, I was walking throughwatching people on the pokies
and, and I ran into this guy who's like a six foot 5, like
African American guy. He completely ignores me and
starts talking to the, the girl that I was walking around with.
He's just talking to her. And I'm like, yeah, this is

(38:43):
cool, this is cool. And then he's like, Oh yeah,
anyway, like what's your name? After like 5 minutes of talking
and I'm like, oh, I'm Jackson. And he's like, Oh yeah, cool.
So where, where are you from? And I was like, oh, I'm, I'm
from Australia. And he goes, oh, what's that
Australia? Did you mean did you mean
America? You meant little New York,
right? No.

(39:04):
Of. Course no, he goes just like he
goes oh, oh, I was like, what isthat?
What is that supposed to mean? How did you react like that?
He's like, oh, I've only, I've only met one other Australian
and I was like, OK. And he's like, it was a bad
experience. Whoa all.
Right, I'm not him. Bro all right, what what
happened? And he went, he asked me if I

(39:26):
owned a gun and I was like pretty standard question and do
you And then he was like he was like, and I was just so fucked
up man. Like is that what he thinks of
me? Is that what you think of me?
The first thing you think of me is that I own a gun just because
I'm black. And I was like.
What I don't know about that. What?
I was like, Oh no, I was like, dude, definitely not.
I was like, it's an American thing.

(39:48):
Like Americans own guns. It's America.
Everyone can own a gun. Pretty standard question to ask
in. America, I can say with 100%
certainty that's what it was. And and then it was like super
awkward. And then he just kept kind of
like. Going on about it.
And I was like, dad, yeah, that fucking all right, I get that.
But that's not really what he meant.

(40:09):
And just fully killed the vibe of like the whole conversation.
And then I was like, anyway, dude, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
leave. I'm gonna go shoot some guns.
I'm gonna go Yeah, literally. Not here.
Yeah, But yeah. And that was pretty much.
Yeah. That kind of sucks.
That was pretty much the majority of the trip.
Best food I had over there. Mexican food.
Really, really good. They're margaritas, dude.

(40:31):
Oh, really? We don't know.
We do not know how to make margaritas.
One of that's 'cause it's probably brought up from Mexico,
the Mexican food. I think it's I, I, I think the
Mexican food is, but I think thetequila is distilled so much
better over there and you can just get a much higher grade of
tequila. True, that's why the margaritas
are so good. The Mexican food was not from
Mexico. The.
Tequila tasted actually really good with no like like ethanol

(40:55):
after taste. Yes, yes, I have had top shelf
tequila before because when I was at this rap party for this
TV show, a rap. Party rap battle.
A rap battle. I was in a rap battle with a few
people. Anyway, we're drinking there and
I'm drinking this tequila. I'm like, is this what good
alcohol tastes like? There's no burn.
There's no. You know what I mean?
Yeah, dude, I can see why peopleget.
Fucked up. I was like, this is the most

(41:17):
delicious drink I've ever had. A Margarita made with real.
Yeah, like tequila. It was really good.
Yeah, damn, we didn't Alcohol again.
I don't know man, I think Australia's going to be pretty
good alcohol as it is. I think we've got a bit of a
problem with alcohol actually now.
We need a damn nerf. Alcohol bro we need a nerf.
Yeah, but no, dude, it's such a good trip.

(41:39):
It was so much fun just hanging out with everyone, exploring
Vegas. I would go back there in a
heartbeat. Yeah, it was the strip itself
also so clean. I like.
Oh, really? It felt so safe there.
It compared to San Francisco. I felt like I was, you know, one
step away from being robbed or stabbed or.
Did you go to that big where they shot the out the front of

(42:01):
Ocean's 11 and they're standing there in the and everything?
The Bellagio? Is that the Bellagio?
Yeah. Did you go to the Bellagio?
I did go to the Bellagio Bellagio.
So sick did. You get your crew together.
Yeah, dude, we got to assembly the.
Team, we got to send the team. Oceans 1.
It's just, I'm just trying to steal shit, what we're gonna do,
right? So we're gonna go into the
casino, yeah, okay. And then we're gonna, we're

(42:23):
gonna take some chips out, okay?Yeah, like this is going.
Yeah, we're gonna sit down at a table and then we're just gonna
start playing. Okay, and then?
And then we're just going to start winning.
And there's a chance we might win.
And then and then once we win all this money after playing the
games for a few hours. Yeah, I'm with you.
We're. Just going to walk right out the
front door, holy shit. How much money do I need to put

(42:44):
down as much? As you want, much as you can,
remortgage the house if you can,and when you lose money go to
the ATM get. More out.
I think Prince is a genius man. Oh my.
God, there's just numbers on a screen.
It's just printing money numberson the screen to cold hard cash.
It's. Just like negative numbers on
the screen. It's not real.

(43:04):
Yeah. No, dude, it was, Yeah, it was
good. It was really good.
And that's, that's pretty much the whole, yeah, nice the whole
trip. Yeah, yeah.
What was, I guess you've alreadysort of gone through it, but
like your rose by you got your rose on your thorn.
What was the absolute best and what was the absolute worst?
The absolute best. We're just the friends we made
along the way. Oh, that's beautiful.
Yeah. I think so.

(43:26):
Genuinely, I think that was probably the best part was all
the friends I made. That's cool.
The worst part? Was all the other people I.
Met yeah the other yeah legit the thing those.
Are the enemies I made. Yeah, the thing that annoys me
the most about going to the US is everything is so expensive
but also so bad. So you pay a lot more for

(43:49):
something you could get here, but it's also a worse quality.
Yeah, that's that is you pay forcustomer service, but the
customer service is shit. You pay for food, but the food's
more expensive, but it's shit you pay for, you know, anything.
You pay to shoot guns, but they fucking sting you.
Like it's literally like a scam,the whole everything.

(44:09):
Everyone's trying to get a one up on you.
Smoke and mirrors. Yeah, dude.
It's all fake. It is.
Like the matrix? I don't know man.
The the the the Statue of Liberty looked pretty real.
I think that's actually the realstatue.
Of liberty. Oh, they brought it over.
Yeah. That makes sense.
Yeah, that makes sense. You know what?

(44:29):
It's Jane. Yeah.
We talk about how rude. You know most of the Americans
that you met. Or, you know a few of the
Americans you met that have Rude.
Yeah. Were they not told at, like, a
young age? Like manners, you know, and they
manners is like ingraded into mydid you use your manners?
It's like the first coming back from like a friend's house.
The first thing mums would say in front of the other mum or the

(44:49):
other parent is just like, oh was he good?
Boy, did he use his manners. Yes, he said.
Yeah, he was great. You know, he used the manners,
always saying thank you. I've never not been saying thank
you. Thank you for the word I've said
the most in my entire life. It's very true.
And I don't know what it is. It it maybe it's like something
to do with, you know, it's like now that we're in Melbourne,
like I used to wave at people inBrisbane.
I used to say G'day, how you going as you walk past people?

(45:12):
But the longer you live here andthe longer you do that and don't
get any reciprocation from it, like you're like G'day mate, how
are you? And they just walk past you.
The less inclined I am to then do that and I wonder if it's
just one of those things where it's like a snowball.
Push through it. Push through it.
That's yeah, in a perfect world,but I think because no one says

(45:33):
thank you, nobody says thank you.
Let's try for the rest of the year.
Always wave when you're letting people through.
No oven, no say thank you and you have to say thank you.
No, you know, let's, let's, let's do this last like four
months. No.
Three months. It's, it's, it's us and them,
all right? It's three months.
