Owie my tummy hurts! Stupid California Reaper! Stupid YouTube video making!
Back to my normal set up! Broadcasting LIVE from the Nomad Hostel in downtown Toronto! A new pod capsule hotel here in Toronto. CHEAP! ($60!). Friendly staff! (They’re new?) How long will this last?? They will even let me use the washer dryer for free!
Got the Queens Street video done but… it’s not what I thought it would be.
-DID see some passed out junkies outside the hostel last night, but when I went out later to shoot the video, it just seemed odd to be recording them
-Walked from the hostel to the end of the Western side of the street
-Met a dispensary worker and he was more than happy to talk shop! Not sure how this is going to work when I go back to China!
-And I tried Dave’s Hot Chicken CAROLINA REAPER! All for the Tube… and yes, my stomach hurt after.
And what happened to Niagara? Well, the economics of staying one more night and… Trump signs executive order to rename Lake Ontario to… Lake America? I gotta see this!
