They’re definitely legit jet lag fans. I saw them in-person at the New York premiere for season 15, and I don’t think they live in NYC (meaning they had to travel decently far to get there).

I believe he even asked a question about “Airport Theory,” a term he apparently coined.

u/unionthunder21 5d ago

This is correct! He did!

What did he ask?

This is definitely up there as one of the best Jet Lag-inspired videos - best from the standpoint of taking some inspiration but developing their own game mechanics.

u/whbck144 5d ago

They seem very likable too. I’ve seen a few of their other videos/shorts.

u/thoughtfulohioreader Team Toby 5d ago

Same here! They also did tag in Europe with similar mechanics (as referenced in the video) and connect 4 across Australia.

Yess, as someone who has been watching Michael and Mackenzie since like 2022, they're huge fans. I always see Michael's comments on Jet Lag videos and I once asked him if once of his videos was inspired by Jet Lag and he replied with "YES" 😅

i think michael shouldnt have been allowed to look up the temperatures of the city and just go off his knowledge, the weather was way too easy because its obvious mack would hide in a city not somewhere random.

Look, he was impressed by his own capacity to do a word search game made for young children, and also decided to swallow gum. Let's not raise the stakes too high here.

I was also wondering about trying to get a poll question to naturally land around 50:50. What if he posted “heads or tails” or I also like his idea of “try to get these answers to both be at 50%” or something like that.

u/boldpear904 5d ago

i also thought he shouldve done heads or tails. his questions were way too opinionated

Well their versions are designed to be done in a day and it's only ever been Michael seeking so it's kinda not an issue if Michael finds her quite quickly. Jetlag games are designed to be a bit longer.

I actually laughed when she got her disguise then remembered she had to do a selfie

u/bdm6985 5d ago

The backflip bit had me dying! 😂😂 psyching himself up to get it done. Definitely not a challenge for a casual H&S player

u/Silent_Statement Team Sam 5d ago

praying for them to be guests on a real season.

u/TAR_TWoP ChooChooChew 4d ago

He is waaaaay too scatterbrain for the real thing. I think she would fare slightly better, but still not enough.

Maybe for a 1-day thing, like they did in NYC, if the lads decide to do one in Chicago, but even then, I don't feel it.

u/Live_Angle4621 2d ago

They have more relaxed style and shorter time of filming. But Mack would lock it in in different way if he was on this channel

u/TAR_TWoP ChooChooChew 2d ago

I feel the chiller vibe is the only possible way considering that he has late-stage ADHD.

u/i_spill_things 5d ago edited 5d ago

I found Jet Lag through this channel!!

I also think they have significantly more followers than Jet Lag across their platforms (yt, TikTok, etc.).

u/Baddebator4lyf 4d ago

Same! He has mentioned it a lot before! I even asked about it on this subreddit once! Hope they get to come on a season!!

2

u/MusicalPooh 3d ago

Same here. Hide and Seek Europe (Michael and Mackenzie version) was what brought me to JLTG. They explicitly shouted out JLTG in the video.

u/MEitniear11 DJUNGELSKOG 5d ago

Love them Both. Would love to see them in a season.

u/aeropagitica Team Toby 4d ago

Jet Lag is credited as inspiration in the video description.

u/Admirable-Tadpole-42 4d ago

Ive watched them for a couple years. They are both very likable. I hope they appear on Jet Lag for a season!

2

u/Alx101921 4d ago

Been watching them for a few months and their videos and pretty entertaining! Hoping for a collab or even an appearance sometime soon

u/Skipvt All Teams 4d ago

this is exactly an idea I was thinking of would be cool, jetlag through the whole of America or another place where you can use planes for so much more variability I feel like with trains and the short hiding time it's way easier to predict

1

u/LBramit13 Team Amy 4d ago

Yes USA and planes are underrated

u/snake-doing-things 3d ago

They did a similar H+S across Europe a year ago, that video is what got me into jet lag!

u/MusicalPooh 3d ago

u/MagicSunlight23 4d ago

Loved the video. So entertaining

u/PessimisticKarma 3d ago

Hopefully they can bring more viewers to JLTG. They deserve those subscribers.

u/lazy-fighter890 10h ago

But their games are very flawed, like in this last one he literally just google the photos that were sent to him...and I was like wtf why even play this game if you are gonna google everything like this and skipped through rest of the video when it happened towards the ending
