ACAST powers the world's best podcasts.
Here's a show that we recommend.
I'm Jessie Cruikshank, and on my podcast, Phone a Friend,
I break down the biggest stories in pop culture.
But when I have questions, I get to phone a friend.
I phone my old friend, Dan Levy.
You will not die hosting the Hills after show.
I get thirsty for the hot wiggle.
I didn't even know what thirsty meant until there was all these headlines and i get schooled by a tween facebook is like a no that's what my
grandma's on thank god phone a friend with jesse crookshank is not available on facebook it's out
now wherever you get your podcasts a cast helps creators launch grow and monetize their podcasts

Acast.com
No, I just wanted to start again.
Why don't you start podcasts the way that Marc Maron does?
It's halfway through a conversation, man.
I don't like that vibe.
Why do we got to start with an introduction?
It's just happening.
It's rolling.
But people won't know who you are. have to know i'll introduce myself he's got barack obama on the podcast hello james i think you're doing amazing things this is your obama i ain't got
very good impressions how dare you come in here and do a black voice you know what i found out
is that snl did not have a cast member what do you mean he's indonesian um i uh they didn't have a black cast member when barack obama became president
fred armisen is obama yeah fred armisen is the first jay farrow eventually i think they hired
jay farrow but to begin with uh fred armisen is their barack obama and he does a pretty good obama
and it's long enough ago that...
And they just didn't do blackface on him?
No, they just left him as like a, I guess, Hispanic guy.
I couldn't believe it.
And then no one's gone back and looked at it,
presumably, or left a comment.
So there's no one to be like,
that's what's inappropriate, aren't they?
It was like, can you do that?
Can you have a white guy?
I mean, I think Fred Armisen probably looks more like him than Kenan Thompson.
Yeah.
There's other things going for it.
But if I do a Busta Rhymes impression, is that okay?
Let's see it.
I'd love to go for SNL.
How fast can you go?
I'm Oprah.
Have you heard BBL Drizzy yet?
No.
This is the end of the Drake-Kendrick feud.
I'm done now.
BBL Drizzy.
No, you're going to love it.
It's a song someone's brought up called
Everybody Pause This and Listen to BBL Drizzy
and We'll Come Back.
I'll just give you the context.
Metro Booman, who's part of the feud,
made a beat called BBL Drizzy.
And it's like anyone can rap on this.
And the best anti-Drake rap, you get $10,000 and the beat.
You're crowdsourcing hate?
He's crowdsourcing the hate.
And it's gone wild on the TikTok home.
Let's play it.
The best BBL in history.
This cake will make you show up.
I know you've seen his glow up.
As BBL Drizzy.
BBL Drizzy.
Hey, good.
It's BBL Drizzy.
That was awesome.
Isn't that great?
That's all.
Now, what Drake has to do to come back is rap on BBL Drizzy.
I do believe. His next diss has to be over the top of BBL Drizzy.
He's got to make BBL Drizzy's next big single.
That's got to be.
He's got to buy the rights.
The best thing is to not even do a diss.
Just make it a great hit and profit off it massively.
It's too good a song.
Make that a number one, huge smash,
and then you just post how much money you made from it.
Thanks.
One of the Kendrick ones was DJ Mustard.
And it does go hard, and you can play that in the club.
And then on Drake's response, he's like,
Man, I would have danced on that in the club if you didn't call me a pedophile.
A lot of music will be ruined for you if you were called a pedophile on it.
Yeah, imagine you go to listen to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,
start a side B.
James McCann is a pedophile.
Damn it, George!
How you going to do me like that?
I guess you say James is a pedophile today.
Man.
I used to love this song.
Yeah, there we go.
He's talking about young girls.
Young girls.
Oh.
Yeah, some of those songs you don't have to.
Speaking of temptation. You don't have to speaking of temptation
you don't have to push
very
well like
Ringo's
one of Ringo's
big singles
was like
you're 16
you're beautiful in your mind
my dad's favourite song
do you know who's in the video clip
who
Princess Leia
Carrie Fisher
she's the 16 and beautiful girl
he was right
she's 16 and beautiful
she picked it
he picked it
I can't stop
So is that like
I don't keep tabs on it
Yeah this is not me
I don't know
But it's hard to avoid any of this
What?
Did Drake win?
Did Kendrick win?
Or is it just a wash?
Shane is a huge
Drake fan
And he has been
He went out
I saw he went viral
Because he said
I think he's gonna be
Yeah but that was at the time
When everyone was making jokes
Five years ago Everyone was saying it Millie... Yeah, but that was at the time when everyone was making jokes about him. It was five years ago,
everyone was saying it.
Millie Bubba Brown.
And someone said at the show,
like, who do you reckon's winning the feud?
Drake or Kendrick?
Overwhelmingly, people think Kendrick has won,
even though he's never responded to the allegations
that he's a wife basher.
That's one of the Drake things.
Drake's like, you hit your wife.
And Kendrick's like, you're a pedophile. And it's like, the next one, Drake's like you hit your wife and Kendrick's like you're a pedophile
and it's like
the next one
Drake's like
I'm not a pedophile
are you going to address
the wife beating
what about the stuff
where Drake said
that his team
who supposedly
leaked information
it was a false leak
I mean the way
that these people talk
it sounds like
some 1950 CIA
versus KGB
it's Chase Bank double. It's Chase Bank.
Double agent.
It's Chase Bank licking on Wells Fargo.
Also, he could just have made that up.
That would have been a good thing.
That's something that I would 100% make up.
You can only come back at that with the, you can't do the pedophile.
Well, I actually leaked that I was a pedophile.
So you'd say that.
So now who's a big silly?
Deep fakes.
Yeah.
You bought into those deep fakes with me and Millie Bobby Brown.
Ha!
Idiot.
I've got to say, this is the James Donald Forbes McCann catamaran plan.
I'm trying to buy a boat.
We did an episode just now.
It's on the Patreon.
You can go and join the Patreon.
We've been friends for...
Since 2010?
I don't know.
Yes.
And we've known each other for longer.
Yeah.
We did not get along at first. This is true. And we've known each other for longer. We did not get along at first.
This is true.
But we've been very close friends.
Well, just because James was a fat nerd.
He makes some good points.
You're the easiest man.
And you wore linen shorts.
Amos.
Big P.
Amos, notoriously the easiest man in comedy to get along with.
Everybody's best buddy.
Amos Gill never has a hard word for anybody.
I love you.
You're the best man at my wedding.
We've both done comedy.
We're both trying to make it in the business.
We've never,
we've tried a couple times
when we lived together to do a podcast.
Not really though.
Because I was doing a radio show
and every time you wanted to do a podcast,
I was like, I'm tired.
I don't want to do this.
There was one day where I drove,
you drove me around your car
and I set my phone up on the dashboard
to record it.
That's as close as we got to doing a podcast.
I don't ever do, it's crazy.
I did so many years of radio.
Yeah.
And then I've just never.
Oh, they absolutely wouldn't let me in that.
They let me on the mic on the weekends for six months.
Yeah, so I had a show and I had a period where I had some hand at the station.
I tried to get James a radio show.
You would call it hand.
You would always call it.
I have hand. i have hand i have hand and i gave james a hand and he he grabbed onto that hand and he did a radio show and he had a segment on there called horsing around where he would play a horse sound
effect going i thought it was a good segment i was never able to respect commercial radio enough to
do anything but a bad parody. My favorite one was,
where is the most shameful place to have hair?
Where we would spin the wheel of hair.
And people would go, oh, I reckon the big toe hairs.
Here's a big one.
Pretty shameful.
The not so secret sound I did for a long time,
where I would tell people what it was,
but then they had to guess something they couldn't hear.
So I'd open a packet of chips and then say,
what flavor are those chips?
It's an iPhone.
That's an AirPod case dropping.
Call in.
Hold on.
What kind of Apple?
Is it the Pros?
Is it the 2?
Is it the Beats?
So we had a very unsuccessful broadcast.
For whatever reason, they wouldn't give me a proper job
and we never got a proper podcast.
We had a very unsuccessful broadcast career.
I will have inserted a radio stinger there.
Here's my plan.
We start our own commercial radio.
We do it as a podcast, but we do it in commercial radio format.
Can we still get our old bosses involved just to get some negativity around?
I would get Jack involved for sure.
Jack, button pusher Jack, has gone on to be, he was pushed out and then he went on to be the like, work on the top show.
He was my favorite person.
He's like the guy, it was the anchor of the show.
Was so obviously being bullied out of that station.
And he was a legend and he made me feel great when we'd do the show and they were like, he has to talk less.
He's now got the biggest podcast in Australia.
He's got the biggest podcast in Australia.
One minute remaining.
Like the perfect example of a man
who was unfairly picked on
and then just went, I'm going to be great
and show all of you.
I would get him involved in a heartbeat.
I love him.
Well, he would probably want to get involved.
For those who listen to his podcast,
he just calls inmates in American prisons
from the Gold Coast in Australia
and just chats them and they're like, I didn't kill that bitch.
He's like, okay.
All right.
All right, well, let's talk about what happened.
And I was speaking to him about it and he's like, yeah,
you do talk to a lot of them and you're like, I should probably do my research.
I think you might have done that.
He might have killed that woman.
He might have killed that bitch.
He's like, it's a real gamble.
Well, if he would do it, I mean, he's going to be a busy man.
He's got a family.
He's going to have too much on, but I think we should ask him.
But here's my plan.
We do a podcast.
Amos Gill on JDFM because my initials form a radio station.
It ends in FM.
I mean, that's a gift.
And then we see if this is part of the catamaran. We do this under
the catamaran plan. We see
if a radio station in Australia will buy it
and put it on as a national
show. You're already
thinking about selling us out to an
Australian radio station. Let's record
it and if they go, hey, we'd actually like to put that
on the air. It's like, alright, fine. Pay us
the money. Then I buy a boat.
I'd like you to have a sermon on commercial radio after some ads for national tiles you just come on and you talk
about the gospel well look i i was meaning that was in my notes for if i was going to do the
podcast alone i was going to talk about the book of mark which i had i don't think i'd ever read
start to finish i'm really a gospel according to john guy and i rank the gospels
well john for me is number one and then uh luke probably number two matthew way down in the
details you know that but mark mark is 16 chapters long it's not long it's like 20 pages it's super
to the point it's super immediate it's like no jokes there's like there's some jokes in the other ones i think mark actually
might do uh the bit where the one of the disciples has his robe come off and he has to run naked
it's just sort of funny it's sort of funny anyway how many gospels were not accepted
there's a couple yeah can you get a hold of them oh yeah they're around most of them are around I think
and was it because of the quality
of their writing
were they like
we appreciate
people at the time
were just like
this is not as good
it's funny
this is one of the arguments
because the
Catholics
Protestants go like
it's
it's the Bible
everything has to come
from the Bible
and Catholics like
yeah we made the Bible
there were all these books
we didn't put in it
and we had to write it there was a church before then so like how are you going to decide
which books are in and out and the Protestants do like take out a couple books that they don't like
because they it's like sola scriptura not that one not that one would have been wonderful if
they had a really simplistic writer at the time just a real common man who was like there was a
man called Jesus the son of god he died that there was some
fish i gotta be honest that's pretty much what reading mark is like mark is like mark doesn't
do the birth mark doesn't do much after he comes back it's like john the baptist was there he was
baptizing people our lord was baptized then he walked around did some miracles didn't want anyone
to see about him then he went home People didn't like him there Went into Jerusalem
They killed him
He came back
Yeah it's like asking your son
What he did in school for the day
And then
Then this happened
But John is so poetic
But anyway Mark
I'm going to have to read Mark again
To get more out of this
You do that when I leave
Because I've got to get ready for my show
No of course
But I want to tell a story
We can do some
I think we should be allowed to do some of that
On our radio show in Australia
Why shouldn't we be allowed to do that?
The pagans have had enough.
We've got to fashion a cord and whip these money changers in the pit.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm not saying money changers as Jews.
They're all Jews in the temple.
I saw a look when I said money changers that you thought I was being anti-Semitic.
What I will say is that just the word commercial radio got into my head
and I looked at you like this, dump.
Because what you have to understand about commercial radio is
there's just a culture of saying nothing.
Of course.
You just look around at people.
That's why when, you know, where do you keep the ketchup?
Where do you keep the tomato sauce, pantry or fridge?
That's a segment.
That's a real segment you could do on commercial radio.
Pantry or fridge. Call in, butter. Pantry or fridge. Yeah, what we don't's a real segment you could do on commercial radio. Pantry or fridge?
Call in.
Butter.
Pantry or fridge?
Yeah, what we don't do is go,
do you think interest is wrong?
Hey, is usury always a sin?
And what is usury exactly?
Sonora, okay.
How much of a vig is acceptable?
Stick it in the bin.
That's like, for me,
the archetypal Australian Commercial radio
Podcast segment
Not podcast
Just radio segment
Call up
What do you want to
Stick in the bin
Which is what we call
The trash can
Charity muggers
People on the street
That ask you to give money
To charities
Stick them in the bin
Stick them in the bin
My shoes
Stop
My shoes hurt my feet
Because they're too small
Stick them in the bin
Speaking of charity muggers
We're walking today To go look at the Colorado Avalanches ballpark stadium.
And a guy comes up to James and goes, do you care about, was it trees?
What was he getting us?
It was animals.
Animals.
He kept asking about animals.
And we all said, oh, no, we got to get somewhere.
And out of nowhere, this charity guy just goes, hey, man, gingers don't have souls,
but if you donate some money, you'll get it back.
He was like, did you know 80% of gingers donate to charity?
And I say, oh, better men than I.
And he goes, yeah, they're trying to buy their souls back
because they don't got one.
It's like, all right, mate.
All right, I could.
Truly, we're racially vilified.
Are we going to get into it?
You and I, you want to start a racial slinging match right here on the street?
I was happy to leave race out of it.
Let's talk about 80% of...
We've hit the dump button there.
Snicket in the bin.
We've hit the dump button.
That's the sort of thing we'll be able to do on our podcast.
Move it to the trash.
Well, I'd like to talk about something before we all have
to go
which is a cool
experience
you're really ready
to get out the door
it's only what
time's your show
oh this is gonna be
it's 4.50
4.50
you got time
you got time
yeah I gotta go
shower and get ready
hold on
is this a new
talk break
because if it's a
new talk break
we gotta do the
stinger again
I thought we were
just doing a
regular podcast
I love Post Malone oh yeah i truly love post malone and when
i worked on radio i maybe was the only songs i was enjoying that we had to play and i had a mental
breakdown in 2015 it was particularly bad i had a breakup and post malone's I Fall Apart had just come out and I was riding my bike up the Mount Lofty Hill
and I fell off my bike and was sobbing,
thinking about this relationship while Post Malone kept saying,
I fall apart, I fall apart.
It touched me deeply and I downloaded many of Post Malone's songs
and rapped over the top of them.
You did that on commercial radio.
And I ended up releasing one of the songs on commercial radio,
which still to this day gives me what we call the douche chills.
It's horrible.
Here's a weird fact about that.
There's a couple of weird facts about this.
Your timing was so bad, I would stand with you in the booth
and squeeze your shoulder when it was time to start the new rap line.
I'd just be wide-eyed, bobbing my head.
You'd squeeze me and I'd go, I'm ballin', I'm ballin'.
You've missed it. You've missed it.
You've missed it.
You're off the beat.
It's the one in the three.
And then also,
you released that White Iverson rap cover.
And then as a joke,
released it to a bunch of radio stations
throughout regional Australia.
And one of them really liked it
and wanted to have you on as a rapper.
And you were like,
this is all a joke.
And he took it wrong.
Do you remember this?
Yeah, so I released this breakup song
to White Iverson and it went, I'm bowling, I'm bowling, I'm all a joke. And he took it wrong. Do you remember this? Yeah, so I released this breakup song to Wyatt Iverson,
and it went, I'm ballin', I'm ballin', I'm ballin' over you.
And this guy's like, man, I think you got something.
And I went on Mount Gambier radio, and this guy's like,
hey, I got this new artist called Priv Ledge.
That was my rap name.
Priv Ledge has just done this drop about how hard it is for men in a breakup.
Hey, man, it's really good to have you on here.
I think this song's going to help a lot of men through a difficult spot and i was like hey is
this a pre-record and he goes yeah i go yeah man it's a it's a joke it's a bit it's a bit that i'm
doing about mumble rappers and he was like well you don't have to make me feel like a dick about
it basically like because he said he was a bit of a hip-hop expert in the area and like he had a
hip-hop show and i was like, if you're singing my praises,
your credibility is shot to pieces.
13, 10, 60, when have you gotten the wrong end of the stick?
So anyway, that being said,
it was an amazing experience for me to go and watch you perform at the Forum,
which is wild.
It's like near where I live and I drive past it all the time
and it's the biggest artist in the world.
I'm going to cut to it.
13, 10,60, when have you
been the plus one to get to see
Post Malone? Well, James was performing there.
It was really dope. Plus one
of a plus one. I didn't know anybody there
other than James and Shane and they were
obviously about to go on and they've got
responsibilities. So I'm lingering
around. In the green room?
I'm in the green room
and James, about 10 minutes before this had bummed
a cigarette off post malone you've gone into full broadcast mode you're all your all the clip of
your speaking you've gone back into being in a radio station this is great i'm even sitting up
right yeah because i'm like the program director could be looking at me and i'm getting paid a lot
of money and i'm slumping this is an important story about you meeting Post Malone.
Let's get some sizzle on this one.
I met Post Malone.
You met Post Malone.
And I met Post Malone because you bummed a cigarette off him and then you had to go off and I just kept talking to Post Malone.
He's the sweetest man.
I had the rarest thing where, you know when you have a social, you're a bit socially anxious.
Social blanket.
He was my safety spot.
Yeah.
Which was wild.
Of all the people, and there was a hundred people backstage, the only person I was comfortable talking to about how awkward I was, was Post safety spot. Yeah. Which was wild. Of all the people, and there was 100 people backstage,
the only person I was comfortable talking to about how awkward I was
was Post Malone, who was kind of the same,
who was the biggest sweetheart in the world,
chatted to us for about two hours while the show was going on.
And then afterwards...
You're telling the whole story.
You're driving this one.
I'm driving this one.
I'll get to this bit.
Afterwards, there was talk that Post malone was going to take some people to his studio to
play us his brand new album and i thought over to me and he goes can i um can i come to see post
malone uh and i'm like i mean i'm shane has been invited i have already asked if i can be invited
i went to shane i said can i mustos come too? And Shane said, absolutely not.
No.
And then I was like, all right, I'll go and tell Amos.
But then before I could get there, he had already gone over to you and said, get in the car.
You can come and sit by yourself.
No, well, what happened was, is I just was like, okay, fine.
Because I had a flight to catch at 6.30 in the morning.
Yeah, it was a gift that you were being sent.
So I was like, it is 2 a.m.
I should probably just Uber home.
And then Shane saw that I was Ubering and he was like, jump in the car.
He's the sweetest man.
Sweetest man.
So we go over to...
The place where the studio is.
You hit the dump button.
James is making me hit the dump button because I revealed that it turns out...
I wouldn't give out where it was.
It turns out famous people live on the...
I'm going to keep dumping it.
I'm going to keep on dumping you saying it.
You wouldn't believe this.
Stop it.
Movie stars live... It's my podcast. Michaelordan has a home in chicago i don't think he does i don't think he does i just i i don't know what he's allowed and what's
not allowed and i keep it all very tidy on the podcast sam aril's in new york oh yeah that's
oh you're not gonna you don't care about Sam? I've never met Sam Mora.
So anyway, we go to...
If it's someone I don't know,
I'm happy to give out the exact coordinates of where they are.
We go to the recording studio
and you can talk us through the rest of this.
It's one of those,
I live in LA and I bitch about it all the time.
We got there at like two in the morning.
I bitch about it all the time.
But this was one of those reasons that you go,
oh, there's some benefits to living in this town. Yeah, we got there at two in the morning. I bitch about all the time, but this was one of those reasons that you go, oh, there's some benefits to living in this town.
Yeah, we got there at two in the morning
and we're going to listen to the album.
Post Malone just played his favourite songs for two hours.
We were told we were going straight into the album,
but he set the vibe of...
And by the way,
he played a lot of great MGMT tracks.
He played Little Dark Age.
We were open about dancing.
But as it came closer to 3am
I thought, I'm going to have to go home now
to the hotel
and now I'm also doing a radio bit.
Man, it's going to be so hard
to do a radio style show in a podcast type.
The brain
kicks in and goes, you're doing radio!
He started
playing the album at 3.30.
It's great. like everyone's album though
it's 16 tracks long
if there had been one
dud track on the album
I would have walked out
and gone home
because I was so tired
it kept us going
we just kept looking at each other
doing the number one finger
this is number one
yeah everyone kept throwing
ones in the air
Post Malone's new album is
also I don't know
in what state I was to judge it
because again
we listened to it at 4 in the morning
I was absolutely hammered.
I was hammered.
And I'd just done a huge arena show.
We'd had so many barred lights.
And we'd smoked a lot of cigarettes.
And it was one of those experiences where you are like, is this great or am I just with the artist and I want this to be awesome?
I think it's great.
I've been thinking about it.
And handily, one of the songs has come out since then.
It's like, oh, thank God.
It's as good as I thought it was.
I have played it. It's so good. I thought it was. I have played it.
It's so good.
So many times since I've been here in Denver.
It's going to be the number one record.
It is brilliant.
And for me, I mean, I got this photo of you.
Yeah.
Which I put on Instagram.
And it's you.
First of all, it's just like you sitting next to the recording desk
and Post Malone smoking a cigarette.
Yeah.
And the DMs I got on that were, why does James look more like Post Malone than Post Malone?
Yes, by not having a haircut and letting my beard grow out, I've accidentally come into a cool look.
And so I'm thinking...
I'm getting the braids.
I've got to get the braids.
I got home to my girlfriend at 6am.
I had to be at the airport by 6.45.
Yeah.
She was like, where have.45 yeah she was like
where have you been
I was like
I was at Post Malone's house
listening to his new album
that's why I smell of cigarettes
I have not cheated on you
I just listened to a man's album
and she's like
excuse me
I'm like gotta go
I'll see you in New York

and hey Moskiel
we need songs on the podcast
that was a good rave
we call that a rave
in the business.
James, you keep dumping me and starting again
and telling me what the take has to be.
I'm producing the show.
No, you have picked up alpha energy off Shane Gillis.
I don't like this music.
Well, I will say this.
In comedy, this is one of the reasons I never went along and got along.
In any job that I've ever had, I'm the most relaxed.
I just don't care about the job.
And I'll let everyone do their thing.
Whenever it's a comedy thing, I become a fascist.
Everything has to be the way I want it.
Even if I can't explain why I want it that way.
It's a real problem.
It's closed a lot of doors.
The brain takes over and goes, we're doing it this way.
You're the same.
You're the same.
Do you want to write me some lines
for what I can say back to that
I'll allow you to yes and
yes and
I think it's good for you to yes and
I'm also a fascist
but it's got nothing to do with
oh there you go
we've run out of dump buttons
we're not in delay anymore
you've ruined the podcast
we're very much in delay
we're 13 years in delay
if we're doing
JDFM
it's more like 75 years in delay.
100 years.
Oh, have you been listening to Hitler's AI speeches?
Yeah.
I have noticed, obviously I love X, I love Elon.
I'm getting a lot of full Hitler speeches.
It's a lot of Hitler's speeches translated into English,
read out by an AI, doing the cadences and the type of accent Hitler would have
if he was an English speaker.
I'm just not sure what people are doing on there,
where they're playing a lot of Hitler hugging children
and then giving speeches going,
they denied you this information.
No, I was aware that Hitler might have hugged a child
and given a speech.
Yeah, I never doubted that he was a popular person.
If that was all that was keeping you from becoming a fascist,
was you were like,
well, I don't think he ever would have given a speech,
and I'm sure he never would have met a child.
Oh, he did?
No!
Hold on, this guy seems all right.
They've been lying about him.
He had a dog!
We're going to need songs on the podcast slash radio show,
if we do it.
Here was my thought, because we want copyright free music
I mean number one
we could talk to our friend
Post Malone
and just say
can we just only play
Post Malone songs
he would help
he'd probably give us
the new album
I mean the amount of streams
on this podcast
would not hurt
his financial bottom line
at all
but also wouldn't help
and he's probably
way too busy
I think we got to meet
Post Malone that one time
if I get to meet him again
it'll be a great blessing
do you think
he will remember either of us uh yeah he seemed like one
yeah one month i think so it seemed like the sweetest guy i i'm gonna go around saying that
i'm personal friends with postman i have already said that to me i said it yesterday on an interview
on the radio they said hey how you doing in denver i said I'm lucky to be here just the Post Malone's album
party that he had
they go he had a party
I go no
wasn't really a party
close friends only
close friends only
here's my thought
for songs we could play
on the podcast
we want copyright free songs
one of the songs
that is copyright free
in terms of places
you can get them
is Wikipedia
it's just going to be
your synth album
no no no I can't write a is Wikipedia. It's just going to be your synth albums. No, no, no.
I can't write a new song every...
The show has got to be
talk break,
talk break,
songs,
talk break,
talk break,
ads,
songs.
You know,
you're going to have to have
more songs than I can write.
We go to Wikipedia
and we find free songs
on Wikipedia.
My thought was
National Anthems.
Okay.
So we cut to... AFL theme songs also? I think thought was national anthems. Okay. So we cut to...
AFL theme songs also?
I think they're
probably copyrighted.
There's definitely
no way that you could...
Because otherwise
people would just be doing
ads for like Balfour's Pies.
We're the pride
of South Australia.
We're the mighty
Balfour's Pies.
We are better
than the village.
What's your favourite country
to travel to, ever?
No, let's just pick...
You're Croatian.
I'm Croatian.
Do you want the Croatian anthem?
Let's hit the Croatian anthem.
Let's hit it.
Ladies and gentlemen,
this is the national anthem of the Republic of Hrvatska.
This one dropped in the 90s.
Oh, you can play...
Hey, we can play old national anthems too.
We can play like
the Yugoslavian
anthem
but you don't just
say like on radio
you don't go
here's the anthem
you just sort of
fade out
we gotta laugh
I don't know
I'll introduce it
I'll have it fading
up here
we haven't had
one of those
we have to say
something really
funny © BF-WATCH TV 2021 J.D.F.M. Radio here with Amos Gill for Breakfast.
What was that?
You're going to love what that song was called.
That was the anthem of Yugoslavia.
Do you know what it's called?
No.
It's called Hey Slavs.
Is that what it is?
Yeah, it's called Hey Slavs.
Which is a breakfast TV show there now.
Does hey mean something different in that country?
Hey Slavs.
Look at this.
Hey Slavs.
We've had to hit the dump button again. We've had to hit the dump button again.
We've had to hit the dump button once again.
The thing is,
where I grew up as a Croatian,
I'm in this Facebook group
called Croatians in Australia.
Oh, yes.
And if anyone says anything gay,
what?
The biggest insult back is,
you go.
You go.
Which is their version of saying,
you're a lefty communist so you'll
say something like hey you know goran ivan isovich croatian legendary tennis player okay he coaches
for was coaching for a while novak djokovic a serb and people will be like how dare goran i will spit
on his face in melbourne and then all right hey maybe they're just friends and we don't have to hate every Serb.
You go.
You go.
And that comment will get like 35 thumbs up
and they go, communists aren't welcome here.
I've said it before and I've said it again.
Croatians are mean, strange, hostile people.
And don't forget the big heads.
Now, do you consider yourself a Slav?
Are Croats like, we're European?
Or do they go, no, we're Slavs?
I believe we're Slavs.
It's undeniable.
Well, I don't know.
Hitler didn't think we were Slavs.
Is that true?
Well, he hated the Slavic people, but he gave us our independence.
How often is this podcast slash radio show going to come back to nice things that Hitler's done for your people?
Listen, I need to see corporate sponsorship around me to not bring up Hitler.
We better...
Until we get San Remo pasta...
Let's try and find a deal.
Let's try and find some sort of...
No, but quite frankly,
because Croatians are very mixed looking.
There's people that are blonde,
hairless...
All over the shop.
The only way you can definitely tell
that a person is Croatian
is that they are starting a fight
with a stranger for no reason.
JDFM!
Am I skilled?
Yeah, I guess we're done talking about that.
No, no.
I'm sorry, that was punching out.
That was always a big thing on radio.
You've got to respect the out.
You've got to talk for two and a half minutes
and then any time after about two minutes
someone says something that might be funny enough,
you've all got to laugh really hard and play the stinger.
And then you take off your headphones and go, we got away with it again.
I thought maybe just nothing would happen that time.
But luckily, we all started talking really loud.
And then someone laughed hard and we played the stinger.
Someone made an inflection with their voice like this.
And that was it.
We found a way out.
Frankly, all we need.
Yeah.
Okay.
So anyway, my point is is If we are going to do
National anthems
I think countries
That don't exist anymore
Is good
That's nice
We could do Prussia
Yeah we can do
Actually a lot of
Small German countries
Throughout the
We could play the
Australia I remember
What's that?
Well that country's dead
Meet me down
By the jetty landing
Where the pontoons bump and sway.
I never know what he's saying there.
Bump and sway?
We tried to play that at the Post Malone party
and you were like, don't do it.
It's too slow.
Taking the AUX cord from Post Malone,
that was my biggest...
I saw you getting ready to snatch the aux cord
out of Post Malone's hands.
I thought that would be a mistake.
I would say the most audacious aux cord theft in the world.
As a man who's playing his own album and you go,
oh.
Do you want to hear some Australian rock from the early 1980s?
You go, powder finger?
I'm pretty autistic.
People are accusing me of being autistic at the moment
in the uh i'm getting accused of autism in australia but even then i'm i'm not so autistic
that i would think snatching an orc squad away from post malone is a cool move i was like what
if i show him a good song and that might cement the friendship like he'll be like this guy's
hey he's got good taste amos who in in America is able to say your name correctly?
Nobody.
Well, because they've got the famous Amos cookies.
So I got to roll with that.
Amos cookies.
There's a cookie that's more famous than me.
And so he sets the tempo.
He sets the, he decides how my name is spoken.
You had them.
Is it Amos?
Amos.
Amis.
Amis.
Like Amos and Andy.
Amos, yeah.
But I keep saying to people, Amos. And they go, Amos. And I go, Amos? Amos. Amis. Amis. Like Amos and Andy. Amos, yeah. But I keep saying to people, Amos.
And they go, Amos.
And I go, Amos.
Just go with Amos.
Say whatever you want to say.
It doesn't matter.
Yes.
You know how you can tell if someone in America has been to Australia?
They'll call it Melbourne.
They won't say Melbourne.
Melbourne.
They'll go.
They'll be talking like this.
And then they'll go, but I was in Melbourne. Melbourne. Like a pastry. Melbourne. They'll go, they'll be talking like this and then they'll go, but I was in Melbourne.
Melbourne.
Like a pastry.
Melbourne.
So James,
we've got to go off to our shows,
our respective shows.
Oh, I thought that was a tight riff.
J.D.F.L.
Yes, we've got to go and do our shows.
I have to have a shower.
I'm thinking about doing that.
I've got to blow a lot of snot out my nose.
James is trying to not masturbate.
We speak about that more on the podcast over on the Patreon.
I mean, look, this is still the James Donald Forbes,
McCann catamaran plan,
but I really think we should do something together of this nature
to try and make money.
Maybe when we're...
It's so much easier lying on a bed and talking to you.
But maybe if we're more energetic.
You think we're more energetic?
I'm very tired.
It's been an extremely difficult And taxing week
For me to watch my friends succeed
And a man must wrestle
With his envy
And that burns some calories
I've never felt anything
But good about your success
Of course I feel good
About your success
No I want you to know
I've never been jealous
Of you one time
Do you know what my girlfriend said
What did she say
I said ah man
It's like I'm doing this
My Netflix show
Is like 20 people
Yeah
I'm just
This is just not
What did she say What did she say And she said James has a family I'm doing this. My Netflix show is like 20 people. Yeah. I'm just, this is just not.
What did she say?
What did she say?
And she said, James has a family and has struggled and has watched you at arenas and have a radio show and buy a house.
You can sit and enjoy his success.
She's a good woman.
And she said.
She's a good woman. And she said, and it'll make you feel good as well.
And the best part of my whole week
was when you fumbled that trans joke,
you dumb...
Why must you make me hit the button?
Why must you make me hit the delay button?
No, it's honestly...
I did.
Listen, I fumbled the joke.
That's the worst one.
So I come out and sometimes I'll go,
I go, I'm fat and I'm poor.
It's my opening.
And then I go,
well, I was fat and poor in America.
Sorry, I was... The button on myself there as well. Yeah, I'll come fat and I'm poor. It's my opening. And then I go, well, I was fat and poor in America. Sorry, I was...
The button on myself there as well.
Yeah, I'll come out and I'll say, I'm fat and I'm poor.
Now that I'm in America though, I'm just poor.
As if to say like, I'm not fat anymore because you're so fat.
But a couple of weeks ago, I did come out and say, I'm fat and I'm poor.
Well, I was fat and poor in Australia.
Since I've come to America, I'm just fat.
And it was like, just people sat waiting to see where I was going with it.
And I was like, it's a bad one to open with.
There's a lot of communities that have not recovered since Hurricane Katrina.
None of them got skinny.
Not one of them got skinny.
So anyway, it's been awesome.
Every Australian who would talk to me
would be saying
how cool it is.
Let's not pump Aaron
to the tires.
It's a great thing.
It's a beautiful thing.
Gilly, you're an inspiration.
I'm not pumping Aaron
Are we doing the podcast?
We're going to have to do it
remotely because you're in LA.
I was trying to set you up.
Are we doing,
for what?
To say something nasty
about how you're going
to blow it and go home.
Don't feel the need.
I think we could do
Amos Gill on JDFM.
I think that's a serious
radio show that we should think about.
Absolutely.
Well, when are we doing the next one?
In a year.
Well, this will come out on the Catamaran Plan
because I do need a Catamaran Plan episode.
And it's so much easier just talking to a person
than doing all the sound.
I love doing the editing.
I'm worried about doing that.
You've got an audience now.
And I listen to Tim Dillon's show
and anytime he has a guest,
I'm like,
I'll hunt them down
and hurt them with a brick.
Yeah,
some of the podcasts I've been on,
people have been less than positive.
Although,
on the Matt and Shane podcast,
people have been super nice.
I love the dogs
and I think about 95% of the dogs
don't mind me.
5% of the people go,
it's not as bad as Wolfie.
When Wolfie went on,
why are you just rubbing,
you've been rubbing your dick.
I have a squat rock. You've been rubbing the dick for the whole podcast you just rubbing? You've been rubbing your dick. I have a squat rock.
You've been rubbing the dick for the whole podcast.
I've been trying not to talk about it.
I have a squat rock.
Let's end this podcast and you can go and get a credit card and scrape it off.
This is unappealing.
It's a non-visual component.
131060, what's the worst genital disease that you've ever accumulated?
James McCann used to cut his toenails at my house and put it in cups of tea
and then forget to empty out the cup
of tea. Yeah, I don't want to
put them on. It's not like I was drinking the tea. I just
wanted to put them somewhere. I had a girlfriend move in with me and she
was like, that guy's got to go. Alright.
Smells. Alright. Yeah, she did kick me out of
the house. You say that. She never kicked you out.
She was so hostile that I
had to move out. She was hostile to me
too. I left my... But I didn't leave. I was
stuck. I left my bookshelves there
thinking that I would come back and get them.
By the time I came back,
she'd used them as a shoe rack.
She was some Imelda Marcos type woman.
I always held that against her.
Nice lady.
Wish her the best.
She was very passive.
You know what?
Man, fine.
It's a longer podcast than I thought it was going to be.
We were both messy we would both
leave our stuff all over the house no no she would come over listen you are messy and dirty listen
she would come over she would go through the living room she would put all my things in a box
put that box by my door and leave all your crap spilled out over the living room one of the nastiest
i could never bring myself to say hey hey, how about you step the fuck.
We've had to hit the button again there.
How come you can't stop doing that?
I never.
I just left.
What?
I just left.
I just left that.
That's all.
She's got a family now.
Good for her.
She had a family.
Yeah.
Good for her.
She had a kid.
When we broke up, she said, I need to have a child with someone.
And then she moved to Greece and partied for three years. I years i thought hmm i thought you were leaving me for a child oh she's putting down the important
groundwork there yeah anyway look the sterile a muscule one of your best bits is about not having
i don't think i can have kids and i want them we can't do that joke on this podcast i'm not
thinking it's a joke but i want them well you should go and get your ejaculate tested.
Eh?
You should get your ejaculate tested.
Where?
Hmm?
Do you have to pay for that?
All right, we're back.
All right, there's been a lot of...
J.D.F.M.
Do you want to whisper the Amos Gill part?
With Amos Gill.
Yeah, there you go.
That's a...
Look, that's 38 minutes.
That's longer than I would ever usually do for a podcast.
Well, you're going to have to chop that down.
No.
There's a lot of problems there No we've edited that
In real time
I'm an unpleasant person
To talk to
Yes comedy was a strange choice
No you're a
I think you're a
You're a great
I was just
I was yes anding
I didn't know we were
Still doing a bit
Come on
I thought the podcast
Had ended
You're a great
You're a great broadcaster
I think the people
Will write in with many comments
I don't know
Get a boat
Amos Kill is great
This is part of getting the boat
It used to be about a boat
Listen I'm finding
That the concept
Of a man talking alone
About a boat podcast
When people come in
And they listen to it
They stay
We build a big cult audience
A lot of people
Just want to listen
To two bros
Wild out
And I think we should
Perhaps have a side podcast
What about instead
Of the catamaran plane
A lot of edits But I think a really strong first episode.
James won't let me say what I want to say.
Well, maybe on a future podcast.
You know, doing a commercial radio show, Gilly,
is not about saying what you want to say.
It's about making the thing that's going to cut through
and get the big mainstream audience on board.
And that's what we're about here on Amos Gill on JDFM.
It's about women who work in PR.
It's about women who work as office managers coming home.
Who is our listener?
Who's the target?
The target audience.
See, my podcast, 90% men.
90% men.
This could finally be the podcast for the ladies.
Gilly brings the chicks.
Mother's Day is coming up.
Happy Mother's Day To all the mums
James has got the fat autistics
What?
Yeah
I'll bring in the fat autistics
You bring in the
Or chicks
Sticks
Or chick sticks
That's not strong
Hey Moskiel
JDFM
Hey that was a 40 minute podcast
And there's another
Half an hour
We keep saying this
It was another half an hour
On the Patreon
20 minutes of this podcast
Is you saying how many minutes we've done already.
I'm anxious to
get to the end. Goodbye everybody.
Catamaran ho!
