 In the last year there were two times that there was a very real chance. I could have died and I'm here I couldn't be happy. So I got to tell you all this story. Let me date back a couple weeks. I uploaded a video I said I'm heading to Detroit. I'm on the way the gamer saloon hit me up So they're hosting a $10,000 price pool NBA 2k tournament. I said I'm coming through Troy That was gonna be there dirt the cast or we have crispy flakes in there So I was excited somebody's guys I liked in the community You get a chance to link up shoots and videos whatever so I'm on the way They played for the flight in the hotel, but last minute will he tells me he also wants to come along They will leave come through but instead of driving his Chrysler 300 say I said drive my Honda Accord It's a lot better on gas. So we decide will he drives to Detroit. I fly to Detroit. He drops me off at the airport So I leave my bags with him because I don't really want any carry-on or any extra luggage no check-in I don't want to deal with that so I get to Detroit before him of course me and Troy didn't actually have the same Flight yet a connection in Toronto on his way to Detroit. So we get to Detroit We take the Uber we get to the hotel only a couple minutes passed by Before the chaos begins so we'll eat calls me says y'all I'm stuck at the border because they saw my camera for whatever reason They think that we'll eat needs a work visa to get into United States Which is weird because if it was a work visa, I would need it not we'll eat But every single time I'm in the airport I explained to customs what I'm doing and then I just click B1 for temporary business when I'm getting my Borned pass and I'm straight. I've never ever had to sign up for a work visa Usually those are reserved for longer term things like if I get a job at Tesla or for example the 2k league and I have to go to LA For example to play a game, then yeah, I'm gonna need a work visa. That's an actual long-term job in the US So it was weird the reasons they were holding him up. They saw a camera Alert went off in their brain and they're like we can't let him through we see a camera I just got an iPhone X. Well, he just got an iPhone X. They have wavy cameras on the iPhone He's stopping everybody with iPhones now. Like the logic just didn't clear up to me I there was a bunch of old guys there and maybe that they saw a DSLR and immediately thought he must be a professional filmmaker But that might have a $3,000 camera these professional films. They got hundred thousands of dollars for one camera, right? So anyway, it's just some confusion there. Will he get sent back from the border? He said that they were treating him like a criminal. They were fingerprinting him apparently they cupped his ball sack It was the old but he told me detail was very very disturbing and it all happened because he had a camera Is that where we're drawing the line now? Is that is that where the real danger is in cameras? Come on, man We really could have just booted up the camera sort of in the last video on there and it would have said Yeah, this guy's talking about jump shots. You can let him through man It's making fun of Mike Wang and Ronnie 2k for those who don't know Windsor and Detroit are on opposite sides of the Canadian and the US border So I was on Detroit on the US side and Willie was in Windsor on the Canadian side And so of course since Willie has my laptops that day was supposed to upload a Facebook video and a YouTube video I said I got to go back right though I get in a taxi there's a taxi to the hotel and the situation just begins to escalate man The taxi driver is like a six-year-old black dude, right? He seems chill and cool, but his wife is there now My dad was a cab driver My mom has never been in the whip with him while he was doing his job So off rip and alert goes off now I know a little bit about taxis But not a lot of it though my dad would always get like a new car every four years You'd have to make sure everything was super clean the car was stray like his papers were in order Like it's a pretty rigorous process that they go through and this is gonna provide context for what's about to just happen right now Before I get in any ride in the US I asked him if they take credit because I don't have American cash on me and so he said yes I get in the car, but in the middle of the ride He says can I see your credit card and I go It's weird for me in Canada It is ludicrous to give somebody your credit card It is almost unheard of if somebody if I went to Tim Horton's on the drive-thru and they said give me your credit card I'm driving off right if I go to St. Louis Wild Wings and they say yeah, give me your credit card We're going to back and pay for it. I'm leaving. I'm leaving I'm not paying for anything if you're gonna take my car because they can just take pictures of your car and Sell it off to the highest bidder is too suspect But in the United States anytime I've been to LA New York, Arizona DC and now Detroit They just take your car and then come back with it whenever they're done paying for it themselves. It's suspect So I didn't feel comfortable with it But I gave him the card a couple minutes go by and I start asking questions like yo is everything okay Yo, can I get my car back and he starts asking me weird questions like what's your zip code if you're from Canada? We don't have zip codes. We have postal codes, but I don't tell him that he doesn't need extra information I just tell him I don't know what do you what do you need it for my guy? Like you have my credit card for no reason by the way, just give me the machine I'll pay for it myself. He doesn't do that He starts asking me what my pin number is on my card and that's when I start to lose it Not only is his wife in the car He's asking suspect questions and now he's been holding my card for over three minutes I look in front of me and if you guys ever been in a taxi They actually have their license plate on the back and it said it expired two years ago now my dad is a cab driver I know they got rigorous rules. There's no way a taxi driver's driving around. We're an expired license for over two years I take a picture of it and immediately I tell him yeah, no, don't worry I just hop into ATM and get cash now for those of you who don't know Generally speaking Canadian cards don't give you American cash on American ATM. They usually get declined I've never I've been in New York and I've been in LA plenty of times over the last couple years and never has my card Worked in the ATM, but still I told him dropped me off at ATM because I needed a way to get out the situation So surprisingly it worked. I don't know how I got the American cash But I did so I had money to pay him just in case he went berserk, but I called my bank I said cancel my shit immediately so they cancel my credit card after a couple security questions They're sending me a new one in seven to ten business days And so I feel like I had that situation handled I told him I'll take it from here and I was left off right by a duty-free store So for those of you who've never been to the Ambassador Bridge It's one big giant bridge that connects the Canadian side of the border to the US side of the border It's not a bridge that you can walk on you need a car to get through and will lead had my car on the Canadian side of The border so I'm in a dilemma. I called a couple guys I know in the area I called a couple taxi companies and after an hour and a half of just waiting I finally got a guy who's willing to drive me over it was a five-minute drive for $100 But I said I'll take it because I'll lose even more money if I don't upload my Facebook and YouTube video Hi guys, I'm having such a blast I'm here at the duty-free store if you guys can see behind me is a giant bridge that I'm not capable of walking on so I'm currently stuck man. I'm having the time of my life. Not only am I gonna miss my YouTube upload I'm gonna miss my Facebook upload link in the description and on top of that Uh, I also have to stream on Facebook. So it is I mean, it's a lot of fantastic stuff Oh, by the way, I'm supposed to be at a Detroit pistons game right now and I had pretty good seats I'm also gonna miss that I'm guys really the best day in my life today. It's crazy So after a dilemma I get to the border and I also get sent back So now me and will either both on the Canadians out of the border we link up I get in my car and we drive back to Toronto I wish this is where the situation ended. All right, but it wasn't it actually didn't even get started I stream for a night for the night Facebook link in the description if you guys want to watch those and then next morning I wake up super exhausted, but I tell willy Joe. I told everybody I was gonna be at this event in Detroit I can't not show up and so I get up We drive to Detroit again. It's a four-hour drive to Detroit So believe does the first two hours and then a blizzard starts to hit and of course it's in my car So will he's like, yeah, you gotta drive. I'm not driving this blizzard. I say, okay Now there's a couple things you gotta know about my car. I'm on the way to this event And I want to get there on time, but I have low profile tires and my car is lowered So that the space in between the top of my tire and the rim of the car is very small So anytime there's water like a lot of rain or there's slush or a lot of snow or even like a pothole There was a very real chance my car can spin out the tire can flatten if it hits something too hard and bumps against one Another is not really the safest car to drive and I didn't even know that before I bought the car But I learned that as I was driving the car. So anytime I drive I'm always juicing potholes and bumps and things of that nature So for two hours, I would almost lose control and then regain control for any of you who have driven in snow before You know, I usually the safest way to drive is to drive on the tracks that the cars in front of you have created So because people are driving in front of you and the snow hasn't been paved yet It just makes sense to drive where they've driven It's like when you're walking to school in snow I'm much rather step where somebody else has already stepped so I don't mess up my kicks or my jeans or whatever the case is So after a long treacherous journey, we finally make to the border this time They're asking us a bunch of questions and they say do you have anything in the vehicle that we should know about and If you lie to them and they find out you're in a whole load of trouble. So I I'm trying to be honest I say yeah, I got a camera and Immediately they go off again. They hear camera. They're like yeah Stop your car get inside sit there for a minute and we sat there for what felt like a 45 minutes Maybe doing nothing and they started to ask me all these questions now the gamer saloon paid for the hotel in the flight But they didn't give me any money past that so they were saying I needed a work visa But I don't cuz I'm not getting paid for this It's not work the content that I was gonna vlog there is for my own channel But it's not contractually obligated by gamer saloon I just want to do it for myself if I'm gonna be there and Ben Wallace is gonna be there and a bunch of youtubers It's gonna be cool content. I want to record it for me and has nothing to do with them So I was trying to explain that situation There's a lot of old guys who never really understood YouTube usually when I'm at the airport I just for the boarding pass. I just click B1 for temporary business and I'm fine. I explain the situation to customs I've never had any issues with this before is the ambassador bridge for whatever reason between Windsor and Detroit They got something against cameras every time I go on the buffalo side of the border I've never had an issue. I literally drove to GameStop to get VC And I spy we had the DSLR out vlogging at the time and we've never had that issue So it's just it's just so weird the inconsistencies But regardless after a while they call up Brandon from gamer saloon and they finally let us through after she explained Yeah, we're not getting paid. This has nothing to do with work. Stop wasting our time. We get through we stop at the hotel By the way, it was the biggest hotel I've ever been. I don't know what it was It was the Motor City Casino Hotel. It shit was ball. I say bye I Ain't sleeping here. We're literally going back to Toronto. Say bye Detroit is a unique area man. I've never really been to a city like that before Oh We get to the hotel again we get ready we move on to the event It's been about a thousand million issues. I at the border finally got through. I'm here at the event It's a good little vibe. They got two kid running not gonna lie though. They have for night. I might be destroying folks I'm here with Troy Dan And my iPhone camera is wavy. It's a new phone. Hey, what y'all think man? I got an iPhone I skipped on the pixel too. We got magic boats Damn they got they got cheap headphones at the scores table man You get these at Dollarama I got dollar on my head. Oh my god. I got dollar on the head for this course. It was crazy But why he's a stretch big now, right? He's a he's a he's a rebound in primary. He's a stretch secondary There we go, of course man numbers. How many shots did you take? I don't know none. I'm taking a shot yet. Why not cuz I Yeah, try to shoot the ball for a second You can tell the people you should exactly like magic Johnson. You got ourselves a winner I actually haven't played a five-on-five game on 2k This entire year, you know, I was curious what the meta was but everybody who's just using Yanis and LeBron Burning ice so on a five out. So it's basically exactly what I expected The event was cool at the end We actually got a chance to talk with Ben Wallace for a bit and ask him a few questions I'm gonna be in Orlando in April for a play this live. Oh, okay. What day are you guys in it? 1250 okay, all right, it's gonna be the first Grand to the winner first cash prize ever in RC racing So, you know, I want to bring it to the forefront. I want to you know add cash prizes to it because Right, why don't you play 2k because it's hard for me to play with anybody else but myself It's a childhood dream, so you gotta live it to the fullest People on Twitter if I could ask you one question. It's a question that it means a lot to me What do you think about LeVar ball? I? Refuse to answer any LeVar balls question Okay That's the ball It's a game I like I like Alonzo Yeah, but um he gonna have to take control of his own brand his own destiny, you know, I'm saying I ain't saying being disrespectful, but you got to tell you that he got sit out man I ain't saying being disrespectful, but you got to protect the brand out NBA is a brand that need to be protected and what your father doing right now. It ain't happy I Thought the event is over all our all our struggles and issues are done with right We just drive home and lay down and sleep in Toronto So I don't even want to stay there for the night or wait for my flight back I just drove back with the lead So I was driving the first two three hours and we was gonna drive the rest but The situation got so much worse because of what happened next. Okay, so here's what happened All right, there's two lanes on the highway Now there's a lot of respect in Canada for the left lane more so than America in my experience If there's a driver and he wants to pass on the vehicles usually the trucks in the slower vehicles stay on the right lane And then the faster vehicles stay on the left lane. It's a good. It's a good combination It's a good friendship between all the drivers on the road There's some truck drivers who just don't give a fuck about rules So he cut me off. He went into the left lane driving super slow And so my oh I gotta pump the brakes make sure I don't slip into anything skid out of control or anything like that I'm like, I want to pass this guy. I'm not gonna stay behind him forever I don't know why he went on the left lane and so I go to the right lane and as I start to go to the right of him I hit a patch of snow in between the lanes and my car skips But it's done that like maybe 30 or 40 times throughout the drive has been a blizzard for like 12 hours now So I wasn't tripping. I just tried to regain control as fast as possible except this time unlike all the other times I Fully lost control of my car where otherwise I would skip it. Oh, I'm good this time I skipped right and with absolutely no control my car flung to the left There was a truck to the left of me that if I was I don't know how close cuz I wasn't I wasn't doing measurements at the time I was pretty focused on not trying to die. I Could have been a feet or two away from hitting these tires and absolutely getting my car crushed And if that happened there's a good possibility the truck also spins out And there was a lot of other people nearby the damage would have been collateral and so I'm in a situation now where I'm so Focused will he has a seat belt on I don't so immediately knowing that if the airbags deploy and I don't have my seat belt on I'm done like I'm losing teeth. My nose is breaking. I'm getting a concussion and or I'm dead So my car goes right it goes left even harder and right before it hits the truck I fucking spin that shit right off the highway. Was it a good idea? I don't know. I had no idea I just knew I didn't want to be near this truck and almost died The truck made zero effort to move out the way Disrespectful truck I ever seen in my life now There's plenty of trucks that cut me off in the left lane throughout the ride But this one didn't even make an attempt to just create some space when he fully saw my car lose control because he Now immediately as my car is going off the right side of the highway I don't know what there is. There's no lights on the highway. It was a pretty dead area It was like in the middle of nowhere So not only was there no lights the snow was like this thick and I'm not exaggerating It's been snowing for like 12 hours straight and it's high grass and my car is low-profile tires It had no traction. I stomped the brakes and I was shaking my way down and Immediately of course by the time my car started to spin will he just flinched up and What can only be described as a miracle? Not only was there zero damage to the car the airbags didn't deploy. I was fine. Will he was fine Nobody got hurt. Please flash the light in my face. Well, let me get some lighting for the situation Will you please flash it in my face flash it in my face this truck cut me off No, I told you slow down The truck clearly cut me off The truck cut me off. Will you what do I do with the truck? So my car started to spin out out first of all, you don't tell nobody. I wasn't on my seat belt So by no means could I've had the airbags deploy? I would have died on this spot without my seat belt So I was trying so hard. Basically. We're in the middle of fucking nowhere off the road Yo, we're off the road as we speak This is the trail I went you can see the vehicles on that side I went off the road and we're in this bank how we get out this bank. Why is nobody stopping to help us? I'm clearly not on the fucking road with a car. All right. I need to get some help What you want me to do bro? It's my car It can't handle the snow bro. It can't handle the snow I could have landed in that ditch In a myriad of other ways in which my car would have toppled over And the airbags would have definitely went off and if the airbags went off There is no way for me to get outside my car because there is the the snow is so high the door wouldn't have opened So the lane that I went down when I flung my car off the highway was When I tell you it couldn't have worked out better if I waited a little longer I would have fit a ditch and maybe my car would have been stuck. Maybe it would have flipped I don't know but when we looked around after the crash I thought what the fuck? Literally the best possible angle I took and I didn't even know I was taking it. I just got really really lucky Lee immediately looks at me. He goes. What the fuck man? I told you to slow down I'm like, oh, will you just smile for a bit bro? I we were okay. Nothing happened. The car is fine We were stuck in the spot and we had to call the police So I called the police and the police patched me over to the opp and the opp finally gets there Hey, I don't know what it is, bro. The canadian cops are some cool people, man Well, we got a touch up coming. So you got your driver's license on you. Yeah, did the other cop give you that? He took the license and registration. I think he gave it back, right? Yeah, that or he gave it back It's a little cold for shorts. I didn't think I was gonna be in the situation. I'm not gonna lie Oh, they were super cool about the situation. They made a joke about how I was wearing shorts I'm like, oh, I didn't expect to be in a ditch in the middle of nowhere All right. I was in shorts because it was warm in my car We were stuck there for like maybe an hour and a half before the tow truck finally arrived Oh snap. Yo tow truck is finally here Oh snap But uh, I'm gonna sell my car It literally makes zero sense to have this car at this point Not only does it have a million blind spots Which also led to a separate accident which is for another day is is such a liability Literally any other car would have made a regular lane change But I guess it wasn't even the accord as much as it was the customization to the car Which I didn't do by the way I bought the car like that and I didn't even know the car was like that when I bought it It just looked cool and I was like, yeah for that price. I will take that Anyway, I'm here now. I'm back in Toronto. I'm super happy about how everything went out I mean, I've been through pretty horrible days where everything is going wrong And this was definitely a sequence of a few days where it felt like that was happening. Anyway, uh, that's where I am Right now. I kind of just want to play a fortnight, bro. I'm sick of this man I'm gonna kick back and play some video games man. You know I'm happy with how everything turned out. Um, but that's the story man It's been a crazy past few days if you guys enjoyed drop a like subscribe if you guys are new And I'm out peace
