Best wishes to him on his road to recovery. Love you, brother.

All the best. This week, joined by Pete. How you doing, bud? Oh, thanks. I'm doing good. Come back, come back, Pete. And we are reviewing James Donald Forbes McCann. He's an Australian stand-up comedian, writer, podcast host,

who came out of the more absurd, surreal, dark humor end of comedy. He's not really mainstream comic. He's more of a kind of cult favorite internet comic, good friend of Shane Gillis, and really appreciate Shane for kind of blowing up his career. And really anyone that Shane finds and pulls along with him, you know is going to be good or, you know, eventually will be. And he's the host of the James Donald Forbes McCann Catamaran Plan. Say that 10 times fast. Good luck. No way. Which is basically

a long form, absurdist riffing mixed with social commentary. He also released a sound-up special called Black Israelite, which is funny as how. It's intentionally provocative, weird, and designed to poke at identity politics, race, and modern taboos through comedy rather than politics. Some clever jokes in there. Yeah, he's got some good ones. He's got some good ones. And I didn't quite make it all the way through that mash-up one he did in London. Yeah. Where it's like three different specials together, kind of, the same jokes. The same set, but they, you know, pick the best of each.

And he's wearing, like, different shirts in each cut. It's pretty fun. Interesting, interesting angle. It's almost like you get to see the same joke reaction multiple times. Right. And sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. And then he mixes it up. That's actually kind of interesting.

I like the way he did it. I think that was an impromptu. a set of shows that he just went there and started just getting offers to do shows. That's cool. It could be wrong. But that's what I took from the beginning of that.

You know, Australian comics do quite well in England. I mean, you know, we're a similar folk. They're funny voices. There, they are and hilarious people. God bless them. Yeah, so they start

off the pod kind of talking about, well, the difference between mammoths and mastodons. And, you know, that was a thing I thought I knew until they said it. And then I realized I actually don't know. Yeah. I couldn't have, as soon as they said mastodon, I was like, I think I know what that is. Now, actually I don't. But now I do. Now I do.

Yeah. The woolly mammoth, the big hairy one. And then there's the mastodon, which are more elephant-like. Smaller. Mm-hmm. And it eats, robust. eats the Woody bits

Woody Debris So do what Just sticks They eat grass And what not Whatever they could pick up With their trunk mind Small trees

Small trees Whatever they can grab And it's green All right Yeah they got different teeth and Fur They got different teeth and fur You know they're bringing the mammoths back

Right About time They got some I think I think they're into it I don't know I don't know if they've Popped one out

They haven't done one yet No Okay. What are they, they did the wolf. They got the dire wolf. Which is maybe a, not real. You don't think so?

There's some contention about if it's actually a dire wolf. It's close. We don't know yet. Rogan saw it. He probably owns one now. He's got one. He's got one. His Navy SEALs just walk around with one outside his house.

Legendary. That'd be so awesome. It'd be dope. I wonder how big they get. I guess they're not even much, they're kind of not even related to our common wolf that we have here at the Timberwolf. They're just, they're a different offshoot. Okay. Along the Canids.

Yeah. Pretty dope, though. I'd have one. And I think, bring the mammoths back. Now, is a regular mammoth as big as elephants? Oh, what is it? The Colombian mammoth, there existed all over the world. They're probably 13% taller than an African elephant. Oh, shit. Big. Huge. Well, that'd be pretty dope. And then it sounds like the Macedon is,

similarly sized. Unless we figure out something that we're not paying attention to, which I'm sure we're going to miss. It's like we bring them back and then it's just like all the forests are gone because they're just knocking everything over. Probably keep them in a zoo. We'd keep them in a zoo. We got to keep them somewhere. Yeah. Africa doesn't need them.

Well, they get too hot. We'd have to shave them. We would have to shave them. That's a lot of clipping. Yeah. We'd have to get an Australian to do it. They're sheep shagging. They can do it.

Right. We could put them through one of those, like a regular car wash to wash them with a big... I don't see any problem with that. I don't see anything that could go wrong with that. How else are you going to wash them? They'd love it. A hose, maybe? Just a big tickle.

A lot of water. They'd be into it. They'd be into it. Yeah. So what was your, what's your overall feel of this guy? You know, I'll say, I like his style. He's got a great head of mullet, great mullet going on. Funny guy.

That's like the, to me, that's like the haircut of Australian men is a chopped up mullet. It's got a good one. It's a good look. I love his delivery when he's doing his jokes. But he makes some pretty horrible, like, I think he's one of his goals with that mashup comedy in England was making light of very sad events. Like the 72 people died in a fire. he's like but yeah 72 innocent people but maybe one was bad had it coming so he like just had it just made me chuckle the way his delivery is awesome right yeah he's he's got some clever dark humor for

sure and you know even though you would want to believe that everybody in the room like nobody deserves it right out of everybody in the room like no of course nobody deserves that but i think we can all agree that the chances of at least one person in that room really being an asshole is something that is likely. It's high. It's high. They might even deserve getting burned alive. Well, I don't think anyone does.

But we could all agree they're an asshole. That's where the jokes get. Agreed to disagree. Pete, you're off the pot. That is outrageous. That's it for me, folks. That's it. He's got to go.

We got to get rid of him. But no, brilliant. I love also how he shouts when he says. when he tells he's like and he just goes into his joke it's like the way he deals with volume

it's very clever he's a performer he's not just telling crazy stories and dick jokes he actually is like kind of like a spoken word performer artist it's I like that you don't

don't get a whole lot of that in the stand of the field sure it almost makes me think that when he started out he was going to open mic that either didn't give him a microphone or had bad sound. Probably both. He kind of like uses like a crutch.

He has the microphone stand behind him. He's like wiggling it a bunch. It's kind of fun. It's hard to get comfortable up there though. And then I think even your kind of awkward discomfort becomes your safety blanket. I see. And then that's what you just carry forward. Because you even see that from tried and true, you know, long-term tested comedians.

Like even Shane Gillis doesn't stand like he's completely comfortable up there. He's just like Mike in front of him and just does it. Kind of hunched. It's like, yeah, it's just like that's how he does it. Until he's loosened up. Mm-hmm. Just that's his comfortable spot. Definitely see why Shane likes this guy.

Oh, yeah. They got to, they could probably craft a. Pretty funny sketch comedy show. No doubt. I'm putting that in the universe. Well, let's do it. Tire's season three. I wonder if he's going to show up on there.

Oh, he's going to show up on there. There's a good chance. He's a, I can imagine. They need an Australian cameo. Like a tire expert? Of course. It's not how you do it down under. We drive on the other side of the road.

Struth. I've never been. Yes. Sounds beautiful. Maybe that's our first trip. It would be nice. It would be nice. I definitely want to go to...

I would love to go there and also New Zealand. You know, I'm going to lump them in as similar. They generally get lumped right in. I can imagine both of them would get mad if you did that. We're far away from them. To us. Yeah. You know.

This sounds the same. Sounds similar. And yeah, I'd be definitely be into it. Good rugby teams down there, the all-blacks. Mm-hmm. And the other ones. Yeah. Bad breakdancers.

Oh, probably the worst breakdancers. Man, I wonder what happened to her. She's just teaching kids in school. She's a professor. Really? Yeah. What was her name? Regan or something?

Reagan? I can't remember. The fact that she did a kangaroo hop. was just too much. I turned it off. Too much. Did South Park ever do an episode? They had her?

I don't know. Maybe even for them. They're like, the joke was already made. We don't need to do that. Just ruin a country's reputation, really. I mean, I saw a mashup once, and not to hop on, because she's taking enough shit. But I watched a mashup once where it was showing the men's... best breakdancing of that year

and then just comparing some of her highlights. Now don't get me wrong, they were obviously picking well I guess they probably didn't even need to pick her worse. They could have picked her best bits. But then they were comparing it to like the men's best and it was just night and day.

It looked like two different things. Those guys fly. Flying. They can... Spinning around like a drone. Defy gravity. She was like my two-year-old. My two-year-old, if I've given her too many M&Ms. Like spinning around the floor like a clock?

That's like Homer Simpson used to do. Dude, when I saw her first perform, it like popped up on my Instagram because it was like round one of it. And of course that went viral. I have never been so locked into the Olympics waiting for her next round. beyond. Did she get gold? No, she got zero points. Gotcha. Gotcha. Yeah. Literally if a cabbage, okay,

this is mean to even say. Well, go for it. But like if nothing had entered against all the people, they would have got the same score. Like a bit of wind in a plastic bag would have won compared to her. Yeah. Oh,

plus. Well, you know, but saying that, there was that one competition. I don't think it was the Olympics, but it was some competition where a person from a particular country that couldn't get a qualifier for whatever reason, the guy couldn't even swim. Oh, I remember that. Yeah, he was. And then there were, I think, three people in the race, and the two false started twice. So they were disqualified, and he was the only person left. And it took him like 25 minutes to do that. It took him forever. He almost like gave him.

up because he could barely make it. I think he had to stop and like, stand out of a breathe. But bless him. Finished. And I think qualified to the next round, if I remember. Cameroon or Liberia, I think. Somewhere. Somewhere without a lot of pools. You don't really want to swim in those kind of waters. You get eaten by a crocodile. Crocodiles. I everyone. Snashed by a hippo. So. Snatched to bets. Um, yeah, I think made it to the next round. I don't know how that works, but, um, what a hero.

And that takes, that takes some, uh, that takes some guts. Totally. That takes some guts. But, um, are we back to back to our boy over here? Oh, yeah, we got to be. We got to be. What else you're thinking? Let's just, I, I, I liked how they, um, you know, the, the gun thing, remember that

terrible, terrible tragedy that happened down there. there recently. Right. And I guess they're, I thought they had already taken all of Australia's guns, but they're trying to take some, all of them again. And, uh, yeah, so there was a, I guess a school shooting, I think it was like 96 or some, sometime in the 90s. And it was awful. And after that, the government just said, no more were taking all the guns. And they had, you know, gun access, I think equivalent to like the US, like, law. of guns. Gotcha.

But the people agreed. What of stuff wants to kill you down there. Yeah. The people agreed. And they handed them in en masse. So, you know,

they got rid of a lot of them. And I would assume, you know, kind of like the bush, out in the bush and the farmers and things probably kept them for the reason.

Those are the exceptions. And you have to register them and be a part of clubs. No doubt. I think something like that. That's how that's how these guys had them. They had mini guns,

like five, seven guns. Okay. Yeah. Now, what was the deal with that whole thing? Did they claim to be part of an extremist group? You know me. I don't, I shouldn't even mention what I think about it. Okay, don't. But, yeah, it was... Don't get us in trouble. We can't afford that. It was a father's son of Middle Eastern descent that shot some people. Okay.

I mean, the cops did little to nothing. Another man from Middle Eastern descent, Muslim stopped one of the guys I saw that that was brave. Got his gun didn't shoot him and then that guy got then that guy ran away rearmed and killed more people yeah but to be fair you've just ran over that

you've grabbed the gun off a guy that takes some guts that's not easy to do you blast him just give him a blast well but maybe he's not like all that clued up on guns and maybe he also doesn't want to kill someone I don't really want to kill anybody I don't want to kill anybody I don't want to anyone. It's already stressful enough. And, you know, but... Crickey. What was that guy, the guy that took the gun? What was his deal? Did he work

there? Was he just hanging out? No, he was just a dude. Just a guy. I don't, I know as much about it as the next idiot. Yeah, I didn't follow the whole, the whole story there, but... Yeah, okay, so now you're saying what they're doing is they're going to take some more guns, are they? Uh, yeah, they, they might. I don't I think it's going to be successful because they have some really strict rules anyways. They also talked about some of the, I guess, freedom of speech style rules they have over there in Australia. I guess they're not very good. They've cracked down. You can't say much.

It's like England, you can get arrested for posts and tweets. Okay. Listen into this podcast. Yeah. We're banned there, I guess. Jeez. We wouldn't be. No.

No, they like us, Danny. Dananda. We're not racist. I guess you can be racist against Australians. It's still when you can be racist against. Racist against Australians? Yeah, might as well be then. Why would you be?

Flipping. They're fun. Kangaroo humpers. You can't, don't say that. They're not. Take that back. Kualabar kissers. Well, you don't want to do that because they have chlamydia.

Fun fact. Yeah, because I've been kissing them. Oh, Pete, get away from them. Cute little guys. Yeah, yeah, cute. Yeah. Another nasty little scratch you. Yeah, well.

They got a scream, too. They're not as cute as you think. Yeah, there's like two front teeth that look like Nospharote, too. Mm-hmm. Not cool. Mm-hmm. And then also bad gambling problem down there. Some of those stats they were reading out, unbelievable.

People gambling down there? It's a massive gambling. They have 20% of the gambling machines. In the world? I think so. Yeah, 20%. And there's not even that many people. people in Australia, is that?

What's the population of Australia? This is where we need a Jamie. Jamie. We can't afford Jamie. We can't afford a Jamie. We couldn't even begin to afford a Jamie. Well, but really, what is it? Jamie's turned into perplexity now.

Brought to us by. He's getting replaced. Rogan just says, hey, Jamie, type that into perplexity. Let's see what's going on. Let's see. How many gambling machines are in our There are around 190,000. And yep, they call them pokies, which I kind of like the name of, actually.

Pokedies, because you poke at him. A lot of button pushing. Poking. Australia does do that. They just make up a sound of an object and an action and then call an animal of that. Yeah. It's a ding-dong. Okay.

We call it a dog over here. Well, that's how they like to do it. Let them. They're fine. I like them. Oh, actually, I made it up. It's 2.59% of the world's total. That makes more sense. Yeah. But that's pretty big, right? Yeah, 3%. Yeah.

I wonder what Vegas has. But anyway, the percentages of people just gambling as a whole. I mean, that seems problematic. That seems like, especially because, you're not winning if you're gambling. Rarely. Very few people come out on top. Because that's how it's designed.

Like maybe some of those poker players, you know, the top guys at the end of the year are like making a living. Hey Ontario. Come down to Bed MGM Casino and see what our newest exclusive the Price is Right Fortune Pig has to offer. Don't miss out.

BetMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. Or blackjack guys. Some of them have huge wins. But generally, you're not winning on average. So it's like its own tax and everyone's paying into it in the country.

Well, you can just do it from your phone now. So like that's probably what the, like even young, young guys are getting into it on their funds and gang. gambling on the go. Yep. It's probably what's driving that surge. Right. Yeah. It's not a great habit.

I mean, listen, it's, it can be fun. I get it. But also, if, you know, you notice that you can't stop doing it, then you're a problem. You got to watch out. You really got to watch it. You're paying somebody, not yourself. But then I guess, again, like, we're big freedom of speech people.

isn't that also kind of like freedom of choice and action? You know? It's like I don't want to ban Coca-Cola just because a lot of people drink it and then they get sick because they drink too much of it. It's like I barely drink it. But I mean...

They are quite tasty. You know, where is the balance though? It's like people often are like, well, have education about it. Well, yeah, that's helpful. I mean, that's probably why I don't drink Coca-Cola five times a day. because I do think it tastes good.

Ever since I don't drink Jack and Cokes anymore, I don't drink cola. Right, that's probably when I, the last time I was drinking a lot of it. They're delicious. They are good. Coke, Coal. Well, it's a good way to drink a cheap whiskey. Yeah, true. Just to add a Coke.

Because you wouldn't drink inexpensive whiskey with a Coke. That's a waste of time. 101 and Coke. Wild Turkey 101. Wild turkey. Yeah, well, turkey. It's not a cheap whiskey. It's just a delicious drink.

That's true. That's true. We're alcoholics. Not this year. Dry January. Dry January. Dry January. It's going well.

Ten days in. Strong. Got wasted last night. You did? Oh, yeah. Sorry. Sorry, buddy. Oh, you did?

Okay. I'm off the wagon. You're off the wagon. Well, you've done pretty good. Yeah, I've cut it back. I'm definitely cutting it back. You're cutting it back, dude. That's what's important.

But anyway, you didn't gamble. That's the important. Just with my liver. You know, I say all this, and I haven't checked which sponsors follow this podcast. Knowing my luck, there's a Draft King's sponsor that comes with this. I'm going to sound like, and let's just hope the sponsors don't check out the rest of the podcast. We're for gambling in moderation. Look, I'm for the freedom of choice with it.

I don't want to be a hypocrite. But also, like anything, you know, too much of it is bad. We're also probably brought to you by hymns. rectal dysfunction. Don't eat 12 of them. Okay. You're going to have to go to the hospital. Yeah, it's a hard boner. Read the instructions. It's hard to get rid of that boner.

You've got to read the instructions. What does it say? If it lasts more than eight hours, go see a doctor. I call that a party. Hopefully a hot one. Too soon? Sorry about that. That's a good one. There we go. Bless.

Yeah. Well, what else? They talked about AI quite a bit. Mm. Of course, the recurring theme of Joe's podcast. Always. Well, it's kind of the recurring theme of the world at the moment, to be honest. Yes, it is.

We can't get away from it. And, you know, it sounds like, it sounds like McCann is a little afraid of it. He doesn't like, what did he say? The videos give him the hebi-gibis, which I agree with. Excellent Australianism. Yeah, they are kind of weird. and, you know, that is basically something that they do. And that's just kind of what's happening.

It's going to be, it's coming quick and it's coming for everybody. Yep. So, yeah. And, but also it's valuable. And, um, it's inevitable. It's inevitable. It's inevitable. It's inevitable.

It's inevitable. I think it's already has been writing movies and that's I think they were did that too soon because they have been hot garbage right some of those Marvel movies they've been written by AI there was a heavy AI usage oh yeah well all the writers in Hollywood went on strike over AI writing concerns and then they came to some sort of agreement through the unions and then all the writers went okay cool, we'll take this and all the actors kind of jumped on board and they're like, we support these writers and then everybody went home with their new agreement and I would imagine they all pulled up chat GPT and carried on writing

using AI. Yes. Because everyone's using it. That's what we do now. I don't believe anyone pulled out their quill and their... Deb, dab, dab, dab. They're, you know... Scribble away?

Their long scroll and carried on writing you know, with our old style typewriter. Everyone's taking advantage of this new piece of technology. Yep. It'll, it'll have to adjust. There will be a cult of anti-AI technology. Art will be, you know, disclaimer, this is not made by AI. Like a lot of stuff is going to be controlled by this and affected by this.

can't take our jobs or yeah, good. Yeah. Well, that kind of leads into like some of the social media manipulation

stuff they were talking about as well. I mean, bot farms, for one, they're going to change significantly. I mean, it's been pretty easy

to, once, if you take some time to spot bot farms, like, you know, in the last five, six years.

Yeah. If you just spend a bit of time, you go into the comments, You look at the page. Yeah. And then really quickly you see what else they post on. And it's super generic. It's nothing personal.

And then you know, it's all very kind of pointed and bias. And then you're like, oh, well, this is a bot. Right. Yep. But as soon as good AI is connected to it, I mean, they can make individual real-life profiles for all of them, for thousands of them instantly. And they're getting a lot better now. AI pictures that show families, that show a life, that have likes and comments. And before you know it, you know, all actually commenting on each other's stuff that creates a network and a family tree.

It would be impossible to tell, you know, what is or is not real. And they could literally use those to kind of attack anybody. Right. Anyone that they choose. Yep. I mean, individuals that set up a network like that could just go after any business or any individual and kind of take them down, at least on social media, which is a little bit terrified. McKinanda. He says that after a while, there won't be any real content left. Just infinite remixes of dead celebrities and synthetic influencers.

Yeah. Yeah, well, that's some of the concern of what AI is going to produce anyway. It's almost like all of the new content online is coming from AI, which is just cleverly regurgitated information anyway. And because of that, it's, it just already is becoming this remix. Yeah, we are all kind of homogenized. Our thoughts are more similar than they are different now. It's because we've got the same incoming information. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. We're just going to get to a point where we're like, hold on. I've got a thought, but I'm just going to run it through AI just to check and make sure it's a good thought. Or it's correct. Let me just see if I can get away with this one. I'm just going to check this one. Check with my legal department. And, you know, it roars people up.

And also, it's like who is controlling, you know, these things, you know? It's like, that makes you think, like, which AI do you follow? Which ones are you listening to? And does it make... This is why I use so many. different ones. I'll jump on Gemini, I'll jump on Grock, I'll jump on chat. I'll even look at deep seek every now and again. And that one is Chinese controlled. And it's, you know, I'm just curious to see how the answers are different. And I'm not even jumping in with political

questions. Right. You know, a lot of times I'm just asking for like basic fact checking on stuff, you know, that's really not all that controversial, that people really wouldn't necessarily need have a specific bias over, but I like to just look at it from different angles. See what they think. Yeah. One that I did actually recently, which was interesting, is I put in a bunch of political figures. It included Elon, Tucker, Candice Owens, Ben Shapiro, Nick Fuentes, just kind of like these online, somewhat right wing,

but then I also had like Jeff Bezos and Zuckerberg. I don't know why I was like picking these certain people, but it was just like I was just putting them in and then having them rated on different things like their influence, right, online, they're like how liked they were online and whether they were trending in a positive or negative direction for their popularity

and also how quick their growth was for popularity as well. Did you find some interesting stuff? Yes. So between ChatGPT and GROC, it was completely different and I ran it through a bunch of times because here's the thing,

even with the same AI, you can run things through a few times because it will get it wrong. Oh yeah. It'll get it wrong. For example, if you asked Chat GPT how many D's there are in the word Didi,

It says two. It like has errors. Okay. And there's three in there. And you can ask it like five times and it just keeps saying two. Did he's had three Ds in him? Well, D. Oh, I thought I was thinking something else.

Oh, no, stop it. You're dirt. I shouldn't have, I should have used a different word. Okay. But yeah, it's like there's just, it has these like hallucinations. It messes things up. So you ask it a few times. But it was giving all these ratings.

Now, guess. which one was highly favorable to Elon. Grock, of course. Of course. It's his. And it was like almost 10 out of 10 for like popularity. King of the world. When of course I went to chat GPT, there was a lot more criticism, much lower rating.

A lot of it focused on, you know, the controversy around Doge, the issues with the protests and the Tesla dealerships and those sorts of things. and, you know, I mean, it was just interesting to see those differences. I mean, they were starkly different. That's a stark difference. Oh, yeah. But these are also systems that we're going to expecting some kind of answer and guidance. And hopefully no bias. Yeah.

Just facts. It doesn't, it's not that. But in a way, that kind of highlights that none of them are facts. they're just kind of an opinion. So in that way, it's like a human... It's a huge knowledge base with some sort of opinion on there, and you need to figure out

are these sorts of opinions, opinions that you are willing to stand behind. Can you make a new one from this one? In that way, it's like a human. It's like a... We might be smart, but we have our bias. AI is driven by humans, inputting all the data

and so there's implicate bias there. Sure. Sure. And then the weird thing is you can sit there messing with the question and you can keep saying things to it like, okay, give me this answer again but with no bias. So then it like redos it

and kind of calculates into there it is assuming that you think there is a bias. So it reanalyzes it and is making guesses of where you think a bias may be and tries to make it more neutral. But really all it's doing is changing what it thinks you want the answer to be, not what the answer probably is. So it just is kind of designed to just give you what you want to hear, which is really what social media does when it creates your kind of echo chamber that you start liking. Because it just wants

you to keep using it. Right. So it's like, what's the best way to keep using it? It's like a friend that becomes a yes man to you, you know? It's like, yeah, you want to hang out with them because they're always telling you what you want to hear. Even if it's bullshit. He really likes me. You're looking strong. Oh, well, thank you. Jeez. Looking lean. Well, that's a lie. That's a nice shirt. Hansen. God, this is out of the, I found this on the ground. You're like, I don't trust this at all. they get into oh a little bit of catholicism the book of enoch oh i've talked about that before i love that it's a weird one it's a weird one do you know much about it not not anymore i can't recall much but it's kind of trippy it's spacey a lot of space i guess the Ethiopians kept it in they're one of the

few yeah they're one of the oldest groups of christians mm-hmm they got some old churches over there i think maybe the ark of the covenants over there let's go find it Indiana Jones put our hats on We got to put our hats on. Get her whips. Yeah. Why did he have a whip? I don't know. I mean, he used it a lot, and it seemed really useful.

Uh-huh. But I don't think it would be that useful. I mean... Can you just whip it at anything and then swing on it? That's not how whips work. If you're good enough. Really? I think if you're good enough.

How good do you have to be? Well, then how do you get it off once you're on the other side? He just kind of did a little wiggle. Came off. Throw me the idol. Throw me the idol. he was just that good Alfred Molina

shout out that guy's amazing yeah he was great give me the whip and I'll throw you the idol it was a great outfit I'll give him that

but yeah book of book of Enoch I like how Joe says occasionally he just puts it on when he's going to the comedy club when he just like wants the puts on the book of Enoch

yeah just make himself feel weird he's got it on on audio I wonder who reads that for him yeah it's just like audiobook Stephen Fry

I know, right? That would be good. That guy can read anything and I'll listen to it. He's very good. Shout out. Yeah, religion. What are you going to do? We'll get into it, I guess.

I like it. I like it. The peaceful kind. Bless. Wow, what else did they, how did they kind of... Joe just watched a video about a... Well, they just watched... a video of people in Papua New Guinea having a war.

Oh, that's right. Just for like 15 minutes. Yeah. And he kind of critiqued the whole thing. He's like, a snarha, I shot an arrow. He's like, that's not a good arrow. Uh-uh. Where are they doing it like that?

So you're criticizing. They've probably been doing it like that for hundreds of years. I think sometimes they don't actually want to kill each other. They're just having it out. They just having it out. Because they can shoot like other monkeys down there. can shoot monkeys out of trees directly up.

No problem. They're dead. So it's like a friendly stop doing that thing. I guess so. But also they did use to eat each other. Maybe they still do. Whoa.

Yeah, Papua New Guinea is It's a wild place. It's wild. The Australians had a lot of time there in World War II and they loved those guys. They were so helpful to them.

Really? Yeah, they would run... I think I listened to a Dan Carlin about it. Oh, nice. And they would, like, you know, be their foresters, rangers, scouts, and sometimes dispatch wounded enemy soldiers, Japanese. Ooh. You know, because the Japanese were terrible back then to everyone.

Yeah, they didn't really take prisoners, did they? So they treated the New Guineans as nothing. less than nothing. And what, whereas Australians were coming, like, come on away, give them noggies and stuff. Yeah, give them some chocolate. Yeah, they, of course. Some veggie might.

Veggie mite. They loved them. They helped them win that arena. Really? Well, you got to treat the locals well. Get them on your side. So that's the smart thing you do. You want to just barge in there, you know,

messing them up. It's one thing, but, you know, people don't think about too much is, is during World War II how much was going on down in Africa. My grandfather was a tank driver in Africa. Germany? Oh, no, England. No, England?

Come on. Just having a joke. Come on now. He was a goody. Think there was no air conditioning, clearly, in those tanks. Imagine how hot that was. Gosh. Yeah.

Leave the lid open, Fred. Get a breath of fresh air in here. because they don't have bathrooms, but you're stuck in there for eight hours. You're just poop in the desert. I don't think you get out to do that. You can get out, surely. You're not pooping in there.

No. I never asked them. I should have asked them. Perplexity, let's check that out. Pleplex. We're not opposed to being sponsored by them, by the way. No, come on, Plex. I've never even used them, actually.

I should pull it up. That should be another one of my ones I use. Check on. Yeah, wild old times. Let's look a little bit. Let's finish up with some of the fan reaction online. Yeah. It was pretty positive overall.

You know, a lot of people had not heard of McCann before. And many people found him surprisingly funny. He's as funny as heck. He just is, you know. And he's good on podcast, too. He has his own. Right. So a lot of experience there.

But, you know, when people come on Rogan, they often kind of try too hard. I mean, I don't know if you remember Shane Gillis' first appearance. He really was. And Shane is the master on podcast. I mean, he's brilliant. And he's... He probably had the jitters, didn't he? A little bit.

He was almost trying too hard. He was a little nervous. And it was coming across. And it's not uncommon. Hey, Ontario. Come down to Bed MGM Casino and see what our newest exclusions. the Price is Right Fortune Pick has to offer. Don't miss out.

He was banking on that. Yes. Because he was just fired from SNL. Exactly. And McCand just super natural. Very free and easy. Chill.

Throw a ship on the Barbie kind of guy. Yeah, but also I think what was different is Shane didn't know Rogan as well as McCandos. He's been performing at the comedy store. He's been on Kill Tony a bunch of times. He's really good on Kill Tony. Oh, so they know each other. They've known each other for some time. Yeah, so he's comfortable that way.

I mean, they've hung out, right? So he's familiar with that special. base, that must help a great deal. A little bit of controversy as well in the comments. They were hoping for the Boneyard guy. That's right. Many people. Yeah, the Boneyard guy usually starts out the year or finishes it.

Finishes the year. And yeah, no Boneyard guy. His last one for me was kind of... I wonder where he was out. He might be having some health issues. Oh, I hope not. I know he's had some before. He's a big dude.

Yeah. He's a giant. I don't think they treat their bodies well up there in Alaska. Well, actually, I'll tell you what. He does message us on the Instagram, so maybe we should reach out and say, hey, and see if he's okay. What is his name? That'd be...

Don't put me on the spot. Sorry about that. It's supposed to be a friend. Oh, gosh, thanks, dude. Damn it. You find that one on the ground? This one? Yeah.

This is a good one. Oh, it's John. Sorry, John. His name's John. Sorry about that, buddy. We were hoping you were on there. Yeah, we'll see. Yeah, he first messages me when I guess he heard my review,

and I was questioning whether something he said could even be possible. But I was just saying it out of, you know, kind of... We're riffing. I'm riffing, and I'm reviewing. And also, it sounds crazy. Like, it's wild to be like, you found figures. Tons of bones like what? Yeah, and yeah, he wrote me to tell me for sure he had and that I need to believe him. So, John, I do. I believe you, John. I believe you, John. And my apologies for even doubting you. How dare I? Sorry, I called you. What do I know about bones? And Pete is also sorry, he called your fat guy. He meant a stout gentleman, strong. It's coming from another stout gentleman, by the way. Yeah. We were, we

We were checking Pete's BMI earlier and he's obese. Sorry, everybody. Oh, now I'm picking on you. Yeah. We're all terrible. At least we're not, yes, man. It's a good point. We're honest.

You son of my face. That's what you've got to be in the world of podcasting, though. That's why it's so controversial out there. Doing our best. But overall, I would say that this pod, um, this was an 8 out of 10 for me. What did you think? easy to watch and listen to

I was working while I listened to it chuckling out loud I really wanted to watch the video of them of those folks in New Guinea having it out I think we can look it up Maybe we'll look it up after this We're trying to look it up

And if I find it I'll put it in the bio So you guys can Watch it yourself Hopefully I can find it But otherwise Thank you so much for listening We appreciate you guys Check out Black Israelite on YouTube
