Hello, hello. Welcome to the video.

Happy 4th of July to everyone in the United States. While I am Australian, and prefer the insanity of Australia’s wildlife over the My 600 Pound Life contestants of the US, I do have a lot more respect for the US than a lot of other Australians do. As a result, given it's the 250th anniversary of America, I thought it’d be best to make a video to celebrate. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the tale of “Capitalsaurus”.
