What challenges did G Lane face upon returning from Hong Kong?
Well, well, well. Well, well, well. Oh, it's good to be back. Looking fairly sheepish. It's good to be back, Mashi, back in the beer garden studio. Yeah.
What are the highlights of the sights and tastes in Hong Kong and Macao?
Back from Hong Kong, back from the Sevens. Curses being lifted. Got a new set of kicks. I left my other shoes in a rubbish bin in the middle of the... Venetian casino in Macau. Okay, a lot to go over already. Was that not another dog shit hell situation? Nah, nah. It was just, I just wanted, they were just a bit rancid. Human shit, I think. Yeah. Anyway. Did you get those from the market? I mean, those are nice. Very similar to the ones you had. Yeah, very similar.
How did the victory of the Black Ferns affect the Grim Lane's status?
Did you get those from a market or did you get those? No, these are genuine from the Nike shop in the Venetian in Macau where we did the last podcast from. What is Macau? I was trying to figure that out as I was listening to you guys yesterday on that podcast. Great podcast, by the way. Macau is like... It's Chinese Vegas. Okay.
What unique experiences did the hosts have at the Venetian casino?
Yeah, pretty much. You should have heard the other one that we couldn't send you. Yeah. Okay. No, the Chinese Vegas. So it's 10 times the size of Vegas. So it's massive. And it's basically where... A lot of Chinese people go for a weekend away. Yeah, no, it's okay. But it's quite family orientated as well. Heaps of kids everywhere. Because shopping malls are outrageously big. Like the Venetian was more a shopping mall than it was casino. But then it was like two floors. The casinos were so massive, eh? It was insane. And you weren't allowed to wear a hat in the casino. Right. And obviously Joe and I have big cap wearers. Yeah, we all are.
How does Macau compare to Las Vegas in terms of attractions?
So we wander in and the guy's like, uh-uh. He looked at our hats and we're like, okay, we'll have to take them off. And he goes, no, just turn them around. So we're wandering around the casino with our hats on backwards. A couple of real penises. So are they worried about what? I can't see your eyes. Joe almost got assaulted by the security guy chased after him. We explained that in the last potty in the... Filming the smoking room. The smoking aquarium. Okay. Where it was a glass. We got into a bit of trouble with that in Vegas as well, didn't we? You always shouldn't whip the camera out. I mean, I can see why you were trying to hide your eyes, Joe, after getting a couple of photos back from that first night.
You boys went large on that first night, I understand. That first night. That was the definition of first night fever, man. So on the podcast, I think you mentioned a top three hangover for you. Yeah, yeah. Top three for me. Top 10 for me for that second day. Second day, yeah, because you really punched on the second day, whereas it took me ages to get my wind up again. I didn't even make it to dinner, though, that second night. No, well, I didn't make it to dinner the first night. So, no, Joe gets out of the lift. Great hosting by us as well. Joe gets out of the lift on the second night and we're like, okay, we're just going to go dump, bag dump, see you on the rooftop. And then Joe left. I went, see you, Joe.
And he just walked off. Never saw him again. Okay. For 15 hours. Yeah, okay. So I sent a text message the next morning going, hey, did I go to dinner? Was there Vietnamese? Was I there? I'm just amazed that you always do this in new places as well. I can't think of anything worse. Do you wake up the next day going, where am I? How do I get anywhere? Where is everyone else that's here with me? Well, we need separate rooms. Or are you just used to this now? Nah, we need to be roomed together. Yeah, we need a buddy system because otherwise we just separate. Yeah, and then just go our own ways and do our own thing and end up in Joe Bananas with You're in Joe Bananas, I'm in a karaoke bar, fast asleep in the corner.
Oh, were those photos coming in from the karaoke bar? Yes. Oh, I thought you- There was a woman in the group with her hands over her ears because it was so loud and I was just fast asleep. Yeah. Was that before or after you took on Mr. Brightside? After. Oh, that's good. It was kind of a... There's video evidence of that. Like a hell of a trip.
