Speaker 2: break it open like or peel it open like different
Speaker 2: layers of onions or Uncle Brando's clothing that was stuck

Speaker 1: I'm too old to sweat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're just like a mummy.

Speaker 2: You take like a rag and when you rub, it's
Speaker 2: just dust, just dust comes off. Yeah, not liquid.
Speaker 1: Correct, we gets to Vegas.
Speaker 2: It's one hundred and ten degrees. Sure, is it's so one,
Speaker 2: that's like forty three for people that are from the
Speaker 2: Great White North and or Europe or Australia.
Speaker 1: Is this story? Is this the story about Keel? No?
Speaker 2: This is the quickts I thought, let me quick.
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna tell me about Kiel when we
Speaker 1: hit the thing. Okay, tell us.
Speaker 2: We drink beer and stay up late on Thursday night
Speaker 2: because we had the luxury of going there early because
Speaker 2: we're not idiots anymore. We used to be idiots, yes,
Speaker 2: and we would like book our flights and arrive the
Speaker 2: same day with our luggage in tow at the Magic
Speaker 2: Con and they're like, oh, you must be selling cards
Speaker 2: and I'm like, actually, it's my underwear, right. And then
Speaker 2: we stopped off at a grocery store. We picked up
Speaker 2: one hundred beer night one plus whatever you guys bought.
Speaker 2: I bought a hundred beer and we just chilled.
Speaker 1: We just hanged out, me and kil about seventy beer.
Speaker 1: For the record. Oh so we had seventy more beer,
Speaker 1: drank almost all of it Night one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know where this is going. People start
Speaker 2: showsing up. Yep, people's start showing up. You said it right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: so everybody started getting there. Jared Angelica jock slap cock
Speaker 2: slop slurp cock slurp jerk slap Yeah, oh my god,
Speaker 2: the best nickname. Brad shows up, Rusty Trump Jones, Max
Speaker 2: shows up. People are starting to show up. Aiden's there,
Speaker 2: Keels there and.
Speaker 1: We are killer no Friller, Chiller, killer thriller. Miller is there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're having a gay old time just at the
Speaker 2: pool and jumping off the diving board. And the next
Speaker 2: morning you can't even see the floor because of all
Speaker 2: the booster packs that we open.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we opened like what three boxes't I one?
Speaker 2: Three boxes of Final Fantasy Collectors. We bawled pretty good
Speaker 2: and then oh man, that's not even these are supposed
Speaker 2: to be Quick Hits. Brando couldn't see the island because
Speaker 2: all the beer. We goes to the show. We get
Speaker 2: there and the lineup. Here's the thing they've done, like
Speaker 2: Read Pop, like the company that does magic cons Yeah,
Speaker 2: here's my first gripe in the Quick Hits. Okay, oh shit,
Speaker 2: Read Pop. You've done conventions before, and it's evidenced when
Speaker 2: we get to the countertop and all we have to
Speaker 2: do is show you a QR code. Boom done. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you could have triple the staff there. And staffing is
Speaker 2: always an issue and always will be for the from
Speaker 2: now until the end of time forever. I understand that.
Speaker 2: But you could have triple the staff there and it
Speaker 2: still wouldn't be enough, and I would pay, and probably
Speaker 2: five thousand other people would pay, like a couple more dollars.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying one hundred more. I'm saying a couple
Speaker 2: more dollars on my ticket yep, to not have to
Speaker 2: stand in line for an hour. Granted it was at
Speaker 2: nine am, so it was not hot, though it still
Speaker 2: was one hundred degrees yep. Much of the line was outside.
Speaker 2: Then when we get through the line, as if we
Speaker 2: could even pick up our merch Day one I did anyways,
Speaker 2: Then we walked through probably a one hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: meters of just lineup q and what looked like aisles
Speaker 2: for emergency exit purposes, and I get it for that reason.
Speaker 2: It wasn't being utilized for anything else. It's usually where
Speaker 2: free play was or command zone was. Yes, but we
Speaker 2: get past that and almost immediately on Friday I'm engaged
Speaker 2: with community and vendors and playing actual games of magic
Speaker 2: like a frickin nerd yep, Oh my god, all day
Speaker 2: drinking beer, playing magic and hanging out with people. I've
Speaker 2: never done that before. I've never done it in the
Speaker 2: quantities that I did that level.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yes, Usually it's schmoozing and trying to meet the wat
Speaker 2: SEA officials in the creator area and finding out where
Speaker 2: the press lounge is and meeting and schmoozing with the
Speaker 2: WATSA people that gave you your badge, like, because you've
Speaker 2: got to do these things to kind of uphold the
Speaker 2: relationship and the status quo. Thanks a lot. This is
Speaker 2: what we're planning to do with the content. We're from Canada.
Speaker 2: It it really means a lot, because there's not as
Speaker 2: many Canadian creators that come down to Las Vegas blah
Speaker 2: blah blah, all that shit. Not this time, No fucking
Speaker 2: played magic.
Speaker 1: Fuck them.
Speaker 2: What he said.
Speaker 1: I said it.
Speaker 2: We've been saying it for like eight years.
Speaker 1: Dude, I'll tell you what I'll tell you.
Speaker 2: I'm saying it again.
Speaker 1: I went to the content creator corner. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: my goddamn story. Did you get to Bran. Oh, goddamn right,
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, it is so bad though.
Speaker 1: You know what I did, got some stickers, farted on
Speaker 1: prof O.
Speaker 2: Wasn't that a thing you've been trying to do for
Speaker 2: a while?
Speaker 1: Yeah, life goal achievement unlocked. I farted right on him
Speaker 1: on Friday. Saturday.
Speaker 2: Oh too bad. It wasn't Sunday.
Speaker 1: Farted right on him?
Speaker 2: Did he know?
Speaker 1: Did I put your butt right up on him? I
Speaker 1: didn't get to touch on Did you make did you make
Speaker 1: a seal? There's a zero percent chance that there isn't
Speaker 1: like bought particles of mine on his clothes. There's a
Speaker 1: zero percent chance. Gross. I definitely I got up good. Gross.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I got up good. And then I saw
Speaker 1: him again later when I was coming back in from
Speaker 1: outside in the hallway and then he was leaving through
Speaker 1: the kind of arcadery upstairs. Yeah, and he was like
Speaker 1: kind of talking to a guy. And I'm not saying
Speaker 1: he was in huff or he was angry at the dude,
Speaker 1: but he was definitely like telling him like I want
Speaker 1: it to be done like this and this and this
Speaker 1: and this and this, And in my mind I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he definitely got fared on him and now he's mad
Speaker 1: at that guy for letting it happen. Absolutely right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So that's how fucking classy I am. And that was
Speaker 1: my Like, Branda, we knew that.
Speaker 2: That's how classy you were.
Speaker 1: That's true. That's one of two people that I met
Speaker 1: in the freaking content.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I thought you were gonna say that's
Speaker 2: one of two people I farted at.
Speaker 1: Well, I farted on lots of people, but like that
Speaker 1: was the most famous one, and he's the one that
Speaker 1: I'm on a brag about.
Speaker 2: Okay, good, Fast forward to a day like, man, I
Speaker 2: am talking of thirteen or fourteen solid fucking hours of drinking.
Speaker 2: I'm fucking swacked. I'm like a dumpster. I'm a pile
Speaker 2: of goo that somebody used a squeegee to get into
Speaker 2: a garbage bag, threw into a dumpster and set on fire.
Speaker 2: And there was like a homeless guy in there saying
Speaker 2: six cats jumped out in fifty eight raccoons. And then
Speaker 2: we go to the Magic after party, all and all
Speaker 2: a couple things, a couple things for people who are interested,
Speaker 2: because I feel like this is the kind of thing
Speaker 2: where no shit, I'm standing in line at something else. Sure,
Speaker 2: I don't remember what, but guys are like, hey, you
Speaker 2: have that thing? Is it worth it?
Speaker 1: Do you like that bag?
Speaker 2: Do you like that deck box? Is it worth it?
Speaker 2: You've heard that before? Oh yeah, is it worth it
Speaker 2: to buy those deck box?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: Is it worth it to buy that thing? Did you
Speaker 2: get your value back?
Speaker 1: I have heard those questions.
Speaker 2: Those are questions that magic players ask because EV expected
Speaker 2: value over under mid maxing gaming shit right, yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: gaming ship. Previous after parties have been worth.
Speaker 1: It mini mini? Is it mini? Or yeah? Oh that
Speaker 1: one was great classic. We had such a blast.
Speaker 2: Three floors, bar, karaoke, dancing, open bar.
Speaker 1: Games downstairs, gas outside.
Speaker 2: Free food, games on the balcony, fantastic, so much fun.
Speaker 2: And sixty bucks sixty USD or fifty five USD or
Speaker 2: something like that.
Speaker 1: Which is a that's a pretty good number of dollars
Speaker 1: to get into.
Speaker 2: But open bar, but open catered, good time, open bar
Speaker 2: and catered.
Speaker 1: Yes, sixty bucks. I don't expect to have open barmbered.
Speaker 1: I expect discount drinks and something to.
Speaker 2: Eat, or a drink like this, or a drink token
Speaker 2: where it's like here you get a thing. Here's another
Speaker 2: example I want to say the year that I totally
Speaker 2: didn't piss not inside the convention Center on the floor
Speaker 2: by some tables.
Speaker 1: Didn't do that, No chance that happened. No, I will
Speaker 1: testify to that in court. Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2: And I was the one that was there right that year.
Speaker 2: It was like fifty dollars and yeah we got a
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen I was twenty nineteen, got a Commander deck.
Speaker 2: I got Crick son of Yogma's Commander deck, and people
Speaker 2: were playing and drinks at the Las Vegas Convention Center
Speaker 2: were like eight bucks.
Speaker 1: Like what well, I mean that's going rate at the time,
Speaker 1: but it's at the Las Vegas Convention Center. It was
Speaker 1: very different.
Speaker 2: You said that, You said it, You said it.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I got.
Speaker 2: Cheap drinks, air quotes, and a Commander deck for showing up.
Speaker 2: The next one was sixty.
Speaker 1: And that was opened bar three four us punched the
Speaker 1: bar three in the face.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I punched Gavin Berry in the face by accident, allegedly,
Speaker 2: will testify to that in court.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 2: Yep, don't have it on video at all. Don't look
Speaker 2: at the Commander Core YouTube. Great value this one. We
Speaker 2: shows up and very cool room spacey projections all over
Speaker 2: the walls and shit, oh Man.
Speaker 1: Area fifteen in Las Vegas, really cool place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a bunch of cool videos. I was
Speaker 2: showing my wife and kid, and I was showing guys
Speaker 2: that like, didn't come to the party. There was three
Speaker 2: people in the house that did not go to the party.
Speaker 1: Right, Brando Keel, Rusty trom Johns.
Speaker 2: Three guys, and then the other eight did. And we
Speaker 2: piled into two cars and went and we walked in
Speaker 2: and said, ooh, oh is this it? I paid twenty
Speaker 2: dollars for a beer, and I'm going to leave the
Speaker 2: room where dancing is happening to go and look at
Speaker 2: the rest Area fifteen to see like the cool bar
Speaker 2: and the tree and all of like the mad Max
Speaker 2: looking stuff.
Speaker 1: Because they got super cool.
Speaker 2: It's super cool. And in doing that, in being disappointed
Speaker 2: in the one room, we saw the rest of the
Speaker 2: place and randomly wandered into where karaoke was.
Speaker 1: Happening and sink guys, sink Gallo there excellent at karaoke. Yes,
Speaker 1: I maintain that.
Speaker 2: I maintain that.
Speaker 1: Do you know that they're good?
Speaker 2: I do because I've been told because I didn't get
Speaker 2: to see that it was a little bit seated. Some
Speaker 2: people got to go twice where others got to go zero.
Speaker 2: I'm not here to talk about that because that is
Speaker 2: what it is if you're a content creator. Because there
Speaker 2: was a couple up there. Sure, and you got your
Speaker 2: badge for free. And I've been there. I've been to
Speaker 2: parties for free. I've been there. Let me too, Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 2: so this is us saying that.
Speaker 1: We've been those people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and that's fine. They didn't get to go
Speaker 2: and creators did blah blah blah. The karaoke was good,
Speaker 2: whether they were doing it or not. Sure, good songs,
Speaker 2: good singers, Entertainment value was there. We sang, we took videos,
Speaker 2: another twenty dollars beer, and to me, that was a
Speaker 2: fun experience. We were in there for maybe an hour, sure, Yeah,
Speaker 2: so we were there from maybe eight till eleven, three
Speaker 2: hours total in two different places, plus going around to
Speaker 2: see the scenes. I told everybody in the house who
Speaker 2: was coming, bring your backpack because usually there's stuff that.
Speaker 1: You get or.
Speaker 2: Don't bring beer in your backpack because A there's either
Speaker 2: security or b it's an open bar. Every one of
Speaker 2: my experiences has been I've gotten free stuff where there's
Speaker 2: been open bar and food. Yes, we get there. Nobody
Speaker 2: ate Everybody expected to get drinks or drink tokens at
Speaker 2: the very least. Yes, there was neither of either. Correct,
Speaker 2: and then people didn't get in karaoke.
Speaker 1: And the dance for shit there it is.
Speaker 2: I'm not complaining and I would never say to somebody
Speaker 2: don't do that. If you want to do it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but if I see another area fifteen after party that
Speaker 2: doesn't explicitly say drink tokens, catered food, get your pre
Speaker 2: cons or get a booster pack when you buy your ticket, yeah,
Speaker 2: probably not going, which is disappointing. That is disappointed for
Speaker 2: the biggest magic event in the world for the after
Speaker 2: party to not be something where a thousand people are
Speaker 2: rushing the dance floor or a thousand people aren't showing
Speaker 2: up and packing a room to play, you know, jump
Speaker 2: start Sealed or jump start fucking jerk off, whatever doesn't
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: What it is.
Speaker 2: It's something and it was nothing, Yes, and that's sucky.
Speaker 1: It's sucky, and and I understand why they like they
Speaker 1: picked that venue because it's what the fuck is The
Speaker 1: next that.
Speaker 2: Called Edge of Maternity, It was the Edge of Eternity's.
Speaker 1: Edge of Maternities after party, and they picked Area fifteen
Speaker 1: because it's space themed and then have to decorate it.
Speaker 1: So they didn't decorate right, like it's always like that.
Speaker 1: So they went to just well, they just picked a
Speaker 1: space themed bar and they said, okay, well then the
Speaker 1: nerds will have to buy drinks. Okay, sure, Well how
Speaker 1: much of the drinks twenty bucks? Oh well, they already
Speaker 1: bought their tickets. Damn right. Ryan's not going to complain
Speaker 1: about it, And I wasn't there, so I can't complain
Speaker 1: about it. But I'm telling you, me and Rusty and
Speaker 1: Keel had a way better night.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to complain about twenty drinks because I
Speaker 2: was fucking hammered.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were. We were mostly I was the hole.
Speaker 2: I was past the point of making good decisions.
Speaker 1: I was on budget this trip, which is like very
Speaker 1: new for me, Like I have a lot of dollars.
Speaker 1: So like, had I gone in there and drinks for
Speaker 1: twenty bucks after I paid my sixty or eighty or
Speaker 1: whatever it was, I would have been very unhappy. You
Speaker 1: would have been right, Like, you would have been unhappy.
Speaker 2: You would have had a nice time singing because we
Speaker 2: all did. Oh yeah, and there was good times and
Speaker 2: good songs.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. I love jumping around on dance floors. I
Speaker 1: love watching people sing either good or bad at karaoke.
Speaker 1: There's no way to get but I would have been
Speaker 1: very salty. Yeah, I'd be singing a different tune had
Speaker 1: I been there.
Speaker 2: Good one that was Friday. Let's keep moving forward because
Speaker 2: I want to get to the point where we're spending
Speaker 2: time with what are what I'm now considering some of
Speaker 2: my really good friends, nine family members I was saying.
Speaker 2: I was saying to Rebecca on having come back and
Speaker 2: going through the recovery phase, randomly starting to sweat in
Speaker 2: my office is like only fuck, lick my skin and
Speaker 2: get drunk like that. It's like.

Speaker 2: you know Max talking about looking for jobs in Canada.
Speaker 2: I wish Brad didn't live in Vancouver, and everybody, not
Speaker 2: just them, but everybody. Yeah, It's like, these are the
