My wife's father is living with us, and he's in the downstairs, and my wife is in our room, putting down one of the children. And so despite every possible success at every challenge I am presented by, no matter how many domiciles we move into, I am still, I remain now and forever, seemingly in the car. Is it a nicer car than the one that I used to record in? Yes. Do I still have the other car? Yes.

Because I haven't gotten it ready for sale, although I have to do that. Am I afraid of going into the other car because I haven't opened it in some time and I'm pretty sure the children left food decomposing in it. Yes! Is that going to decrease the resale value of that car? I'm sure it will. Hey, it's great to be here.

On this very special episode of the James Donald Forbes McCampan, Catamaran plan a show that is audio only and the reason for it being audio only I tell you right now is because I do not wish to challenge the video supremacy of black israelite my new comedy special out now on my youtube channel that's james mccann black israelite opening up a bud having a bud heavy in the vehicle nervous did i say it's out now it's out soon i'm releasing this before it's out well the premier you can get in line for it now oh of course it might be out now if you're waiting a little

while to listen to this podcast you know if you listen to it immediately it's not out now it's out well i'll tell you when it's a i'll tell you when it's coming out it's coming out a september 1st i wrote the times down september 1st uh austin time it's monday it's 730 p m and feel free you can join in on the you can watch it live you can watch it after it's live but you can't watch it before it's born um there's no ultrasound technology for my comedy special black israelite so on let's have a look here in new york that'll be at 8 30 p.m in la 5 30 p.m so you'll have to you'll probably get that in traffic or if you're having a late day at the office well you won't be because it's labor day so 530 p.m you know just maybe just before dinner or during dinner with the family you can gather around and

Black Israelite, also in Toronto, that's at 8.30. 8.30, what a wholesome time for a comedy special to be coming out. You know, you'll have work the next day, and not too late, not too early. Honolulu, 2.30 p.m. What a wonderful post-lunch activity that'll be for you. Of course, in Australia, bright and early, at 10.30 a.m. on the East Coast. And at 10 a.m. in Sweet Adelaide. and over on the West Coast somewhat earlier than that.

It's not a great time for the Premier, for the British Isles and Ireland. It's 1.30 a.m., so maybe you're having a rager, or maybe you're, you know, I'm forcing you to get up for it the way that so many in this country and in Australia must get up at unspeakable hours for your Premier League. So Dublin and the UK, Ireland and the UK. I used to just call that the UK, but now, of course, we call it Ireland and the UK. That'll be at 1.30 a.m. And New Zealand, a very respectable noon 30.

New Zealand, quite close to Honolulu. But it's worth those Australian and European ones and New Zealand, that'll be the next day. That'll be the second of September. And of course, to our listener in Iraq, that'll be there for you. I think we just have the one listener in Iraq. So I found Baghdad time. I don't think there are different time zones in Baghdad. I don't know if the Kurds run on a different time.

And I think it is someone in Kurdi Iraq, but that'll be at 3.30 a.m. September 2nd for you. And then after that, look, some people are saying, already, and I'm going to stop it. I'm not going to read any more of the, I've read some of the, I'm going to stop. I'm dislocated from the comments. can't take it someone would people will let me know i'm sure uh in in the flesh people will come up to me and go james this is going very badly and i'll say all right thank you but i won't be checking but i will say i i've noticed some because it's 23 minutes long this special black israelite and of course for the previous special it was going to be an hour but i had the

the raw milk disaster i cut that down to 18 minutes and i must say the 18 minute format did quite well and so my hope for this one was to do half an hour and i was so close to get i was so close i was so close to get in there and i mean i recorded an hour and a half and i thought surely we'll get 30 minutes out of that 23 i managed to get an extra five ah managed to get an extra five minutes from the last one um and people would like an hour and they expect an hour and they say where is our hour and i can say well if you add up the crowd works special and the two comedy specials I think you probably get about it now. And they go, no, we want one unified hour.

And I say, if you want a one unified hour, you can come and see me in Houston, St. Louis, Omaha, Springfield, Missouri, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Irvine, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Spokane, Tacoma, Dallas, Fort Worth. It's not Dallas, I'm doing Dallas and Fort Worth for some. Maybe they're different markets. They look the same on the map. Is it hard to get around?

I haven't spent much time. Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Nashville, and. and Washington, D.C. So all of those are available on J.D.F.McCand.com slash gigs. And you can come out and see me there. And I think that's just about it for the admin. I don't think I have to do much more admin, except to say, I've got a new song out.

It's called Delicious Little Juice. Delicious Little Juice. So those are the big takeaways, really. Delicious Little Juice. That's out now on streaming services. black israelite that'll be out shortly or if you're listening to this in the future that'll be out now it's on youtube it's comedy it's me doing comedy for 23 minutes and uh of course uh thank you to everybody this this is marking like the third week that the book of poems disquieting

levels of egg has been on top of the charts and i'm very very grateful for that i'm the number one bestselling book of god excuse me i couldn't stop farting I don't think you can hear it. I went back and tried to listen and do it. But as I was saying, as I was, as I was saying, number one, best-selling book of Australian poems, I just couldn't stop farting. And I've stopped farting now. I'm sure when the lady who makes pillow talk, the number two best-selling book of Australian poems,

I'm sure when she announces that on her podcast, God bless her if she has one, I'm sure she can keep all the farts inside, but not me. Oh, baby, that was wild. I'm back on the milk. I think I've healed. I'm done. Let's get that window down. The, yeah, it's been about six months since I couldn't have milk anymore.

And it's slowly coming back to me today. I had a Pop-Tart and a whole glass of milk. And aside from that, and that was hours ago, and aside from that recently passed, fart attack, I've been in the clear. So what a great happiness to me that is, I just thought, of the rest of my life, there'll be no more milkshakes. And now, you know, all right, moving on with the podcast. Of course, if you want to stop listening to the podcast now and go and watch Black is right, that's also fine. And if you want to tell some people about it, that'll be fine too.

And, um, oh, mercy. Podcast with Dead Soda was good. I thought that one was good. We got a podcast with Big J. Oakerson coming and some more huge guests. I'm going to call in all my, you know, favors and whatever and try and get, try and get big guests, because we've got to get this podcast moving and growing i've i've i don't want to say that i've been i mean the podcast has

been coming out almost every almost every week the podcast has been coming out but um i haven't had the time to push the podcast into a bold new direction what i want i used to always be pushing it into a bold new direction and aside from the occasional uh soon a little burp there gosh gosh I'm a mess Yes Anyway Look if I'm going to make a podcast I'd like it to

I'm in the bold new direction For this episode I just tell everybody About all the things I've got coming up And then I do a fart You can't beat the entertainment Like that's it Baby that's entertainment

But I will be Yes I think now Now Anyway, look, what can I tell you? I'll do my best. I've been writing. Writing.

I've been writing. I've been writing a new hour to go on the road, but the road, but, excuse me, the beer's kicking in now. Maybe it's the beer making me fart. Maybe it's not, maybe, man, if they had a milk beer, that'd be crazy, but half of one bottleiser. That's all the alcohol I've had today, but it's been a very hot day, and I'm feeling. Woo, straight to my head. Two beers mackan, they used to call me. I have been right. I've almost finished. I've, I've indeed written the end of and the middle of and the start of, and now I'm filling in the middle beats, of a screenplay that I am actually very optimistic about, I've been wrong before, but that I'm optimistic about getting to make next year. And it's called The Clown Joke. And it's based on my favorite joke. And I, uh, it's, it's based on my favorite joke. And I, uh,

I had a conversation about it with a number of people, and they said, well, that sounds good, but that sounds like two acts in a medium that is conventionally will have a third act. And I, you know, I dug my heels in from my eyes. Staff the lot here. I'm doing it my way. And then I just, oh, I had a dream or a shower or something. I had one of those mundane. But, you know, where the poetic meets the mundane, a shower or a nap. And I forget which, it might have been a shower and a nap.

Good ideas from naps, good ideas from showers. Imagine if we didn't nap or shower. Where would we get our ideas from? Baths? Comatose? Let's get that window to go up just a little bit. Anyway, I came up with a third act. So I'm doing the third act.

Third acts, I was very pleased with the third act. And I thought I was doing a very low-budget movie. I thought I was writing my dinner with Andre, Mark 2. And then as I've, you know, now I need a horse. And a bus. And a gong. I need a massive gong. And what else do I need for the bloody script?

I need a black robe. I need several. I went from needing one clown costume to now. There's a dream sequence. I need 10 at a minimum. And what else do I require? I need. Ah, it's just a lot of stuff.

You just sit down and go, no, that's, how did they make my dinner with Andre just in one effing restaurant? You know, during the writing process, how much editing had to be done when they took that in? Or indeed any play. Might have been a play. But, yeah, don't get me writing a play. The horse is... I didn't want that...

I had no intention of there being a horse in this movie. And I anticipate that it'll be very expensive to have a horse in a movie. Because you need a horse handler and a horse. I don't think horses are that expensive I've seen a couple guys Trotting about on horses I look them up I think it's about a thousand bucks to get a horse

Yeah that would be dangerous I have to get two guys on a horse And one of them has to be a very elderly Frenchman I want to give too much away But this scene will almost certainly get cut Because it adds nothing Someone has to get someone else to hospital

And I thought I like that movie True Grit Where they do it on a horse Can we get a horse? And then presumably you need to, you know, after that, after you decide, I'm getting a horse. And there's no reason other than I thought it would be funny. Someone will say, well, James, it's an extra $15,000 and two days of shooting

to do it with a horse, and it's eight seconds. So we're going to do it with a car. And I know, well, you know, if I get to direct this dang thing, that'll be the point where I have to start having arguments you know because I say it has to people want to see a horse a horse has a great spiritual power put the horse in the movie

we're doing it and you know people go I just I don't see it doesn't move the plot along it's not especially memorable people have seen horses in movies before I don't have to explain myself I can hear myself do it now I don't have to explain myself to you or I had anybody

we don't have a horse can we do it with a pantomime horse because it's about clowns we do it with it we have a pantomime horse no we can't do it with a pantomime horse what are you an idiot we need a horse well we could do it with AI

we don't do it with AI what if that part of it is a cartoon that'll be cheaper and we can do so much more with that shut up shut up get me a horse it's

it's not responding that way that I think would be as a skill as a director that I hope to grow in it's really nice with stand-up because you just do whatever you want and very rarely is there anyone to say you have to do it this way you can't do that

because the budget for stand-up is nothing most of the time unless you're Kevin Hart popping out at stage and having explosions go off um you know it's mostly you just you pay the guy to stand there or the girl excuse me i was halfway through a beer or the girl or the trans or the fourth thing we we love everybody here on the james don't we love everybody we love everybody there's no one

no matter how concerning their private lives that we would turn away from helping me to buy a boat. I'd tell you, I have so much, I've got so much love in my heart. Back is right, at 7.30 Austin time, October 1st. It's quieting levels of egg. Out now. Delicious little juice. Out now. Delicious little juice. I was thinking seriously about making this podcast about current events.

You know, because I've sort of given up on that immediately, but I think that's something that really works with podcasts, isn't it? Current event. People love current events. Events in the future and events in the past. Distance second and third places. which order I cannot say, to events current. So, um, uh, uh, President Xi, Helmsman Xi of China has met with Modi, the, uh, the Indian guy and Putin, the Russian guy.

And they've all, they've all met up together and they're all, they're showing how they can take on America and it's a multi-polar world and it doesn't seem to matter how much we give to India. They insist on, they will not, you know, what are you doing, India? You got cricket, you speak English, you have democracy. I know that Cold War thing wasn't great for you. Come on, come on, India. But I was thinking of those three countries, definitely the best food. Ooh, it's a tie.

Nah, it's India. I mean, what even is Russian food? You got some dumplings and soup. One soup? The borsh soup? Come on, Russia. You got nothing. Pirogi?

I thought they were Polish. What else is in the world? Today, as we go through the current events, the Trump tariffs, they might be legal. These courts, they've got too much power. And let's not forget that Peter Thiel will be giving a four-day lecture on the Antichrist. I'm just reading the Drudge Report headlines. It's going to take me a while. I don't think current events are for me.

I don't think that's my, it's hard for me to keep up. Tensions are right. between Tulsi Gabbard and the CIA chief. I will say this about Tulsi Gavard. I like that. Gray, white, streak in her hair. Makes her look like that lady from Mortal Kombat. You know which one I mean?

Hmm. Mmm. Mmm. It's very, uh, someone called Prit, Pritzke, who is, I think he's a governor somewhere. He's getting slim. Possibly he's looking to run for president, and he's running. I mean, I've, uh, no, I have no, I have no current affairs. Um, Mum Darnie.

His name sounds like a mum daddy to me. And, uh, uh, uh, or, now that there are the front runners for James Bond. They're deciding who's going to be James Bond. Daniel Craig held on just long enough. He came in right before the woke era crested And he held on just long enough until after it collapsed that they I think talk of a black woman bond might be subsiding Well, who do they think hold on who do they think is likely now

This is a story on Metro by Kitty Crisp What a great name, Kitty And Aaron Taylor Johnson I don't know him. He's got a beard. Jacob Elorty. I don't know him. And Dewe Leapers' boyfriend, Callum Turner. I don't know any of these men. I don't know any of these men.

I like the guy with a beard. He's the favorite. He's got a beard. I don't even really care for the James Bond. I'm sorry to say, I don't really understand the James Bond. thing i like this aaron taylor johnson i don't think i've ever seen him in anything but i think i like him he's got a certain way around whatever he's married to someone called sam taylor johnson who is a woman all right and uh he was in shanghai nights as a child interesting

i don't think i saw nowhere boy wait is his wife like way older than him? Yeah, wow. She's 58 and he's 35. Hmm. I wouldn't have any problem if those ages were reversed. Oh, he was in Kickass. I liked Kickass.

I thought Kickass didn't get the... It's really disappeared in the memory. I thought Nicholas Cage was good. And I thought that little girl was good. Chloe Grace Morett's. What did she go up to do? What did she grow up to do? Did she grow up to do anything?

She was in the equalizer. She was in Carrie. I don't see a lot of movies. We definitely won't turn this into a movie podcast. She is 28. That's my current affairs podcast. I just, I get, you know, they always say like the name of the person and then comma, than their age.

And that's my new character, is a guy who's meant to be doing current events reporting, but just falls down and gets obsessed with people's ages. Vladimir Putin, who is 72. And he looks pretty good for 72. I'm sorry. That's all the time we have. It does look pretty good for 72.

Which world leaders look good for their age. And which look bad? Wait, what happened to his spouse? Why don't they married anymore? Did she die or did they split in 2014? Oh, they had a split. Ah. And Putin's been single for 11 years?

No way. Putin? Girl, friend. She's a woman named Ama Alina Maritavina Kabiva, and she's 42, and she's a rhythmic gymnast. She's reportedly the longtime partner of Russian president, Vladimir Putin. And I think of all the possible, I think, yeah, yeah, I think if you did have all the power in your country. And you've got to pick a girlfriend, you probably would go with a rhythmic gymnast, wouldn't you? No, there was a thing called rhythmic gymnastics before now, but, you know, you've got rhythm, flexibility,

and the sense of respectability that comes with professional or professional, the highest levels of amateur sport. You know, if they say Vladimir Putin is now dating a stripper, people go, oh no, but you can get much of the same result, I expect, with a lot more dignity and respect with rhythmic gymnastics. Mm. Modi age. Black Israelite out soon. Let's look at World Leaders Whatever happened to that young woman

Who was running a Scandinavian country World Leaders Age List of State Leaders by age Uh The oldest serving state leader Was Queen Elizabeth II Wow Well, here we go

The oldest ones in the world The Cameroonian president He's 92 Paul Bia Looks so good looks so good His Excellency, Paul Paul

You look good Palestine They have a elderly leader He's 89 They need some A young guy in there Stop the violence And

Harold the 5th The Norwegian King He's 88 years old Is that not a poem? Oh, he doesn't look as good. Yeah, a lot of these people start having weird spots on their face. I think at a certain year. I'll tell you who doesn't is Salman of Saudi Arabia, the king of Saudi Arabia.

But he looks extremely... I hope you won't take this wrong way, Salman. He looks extremely airbrushed in his official portrait. very airbrushed. He does not look 79 in that portrait. Of course, he's 89 now. It's an old picture. Ayatollah Khomeini, looking good. Frankly, frankly, Ayatollah Khomeini. Look really good. Looks very pale. Definitely gets a more sun. Well, who are the young ones? Who are the young, young, young? She's still there. Is she, or is that a different one? The youngest...

37 is the youngest leader. Christian Frustitur in Iceland, I don't think we have. What time will it be in Iceland when my special comes out? It doesn't matter. They'll get it when they get it. Oh, how I'd like to go to Iceland. I've never had the opportunity.

Oh, yes, I'd like to go to Iceland. I wonder if Iceland would ever want to go with me. their national anthem just take a little while there it is no no no no i take your so far so good A minor. It's not knocking my socks off. I bet it's great if you're from Iceland. Bekina Faso has a very young leader.

Oh, and he's handsome. And he might be... He's a young military man, the bikina Faso. And he's wearing a beret. Yes, that's... I was wondering. That sounds like someone who's let a coup to take power. And indeed he has. But I do wonder if they have a good anthem.

Against the humiliating bondage of a thousand years. rapacity came from afar to subjugate them for a hundred years pretty grim to start against the cynical malice in the shape let's get all the lyrics to this but quino Faso pretty grim anthem not a lot you know usually an anthem we are nice everything is good we really enjoy being from Oh, I'm here. But theirs goes.

Against the humiliating bondage of a thousand years. Rapacity came from afar to subjugate them for a hundred years. Against the cynical malice in the shape of neo-colonialism and its petty local servants, many gave in and certain others resisted. But the frustrations, the successes, the sweat, the blood have fortified our courageous people and fertilized its heroic struggle. Well, that's great. And that's been their anthem since 1984.

What's the hundred years? You're really adding bondage of a thousand years. I mean, repacity for a hundred years. I'm guessing the Europeans were... Anyway, I'll figure that out of my own time. Sorry, we've gotten away from current events very quickly. Uh, would you like to hear the news from Australia? Maybe this will be exciting for everybody.

Oh, it's gone to the wrong ABC News. ABC Australia. It always takes one to, uh, when in America it takes you to the American ABC News. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Uh, hunt for alleged killer, Desi Freeman continues for a seventh day. That's not great. We're having rallies. We're having big anti-immigration rallies.

Oh, Desi Freeman placard. So there's an anti-immigration rally and someone wanted a guy who killed police to be left alone. Why? Wait, what side was he? Police are actively searching for a man who was seen at an anti-immigration rally in Adelaide, holding a sign, depicting alleged killer and wanted man, Desi Freeman. Oh, I've lost touch with my country. I can't...

For the life of me, I... I don't know any of the politics of this. I'm going to make a call. All right, I've just got you on the pod for a second, Brando. Can you hear me? I can hear you, mate. I can hear you. What's going on?

I'm trying to understand this thing in Australia that Desi Freeman placard at anti-immigration rations. disgraceful, police say? So there are... First of all, there's a guy on the loose for killing cops and secondly, there's... And there's anti-immigration rallies.

Yes, yes, yes. Why would someone... How do those two connect? I don't think they are connected. But what... Did he kill cops... Desi Freeman? Yeah.

He, as far as I can tell, he was a sovereign citizen and who was also having to be a pito. They'll go to his property for some child sex crimes. Allegedly. Yeah, he kept that one. Allegedly. Get that bit. When he was pitching his YouTube,

you know, sovereign sitting, he kept the pito shoot pretty quiet. So, but, yeah. So he was an internet personality? Aren't all those sovereign citizens are? I mean, I don't know if he was. I just imagine he was posting online. He was always wearing a camera and all the videos I've seen. He's wearing like a

GoPro on his front. But allegedly, he was looking at some unsavory stock. Allegedly, I don't think he was looking. I think he did some stuff, you know. He was a toucher, not a looker. And then he killed some policemen. Yeah, the cops came to his house about that,

and then as far as I can tell, he shot them. One was, like, going to retire him at the end of that week, too, which is messed up. It's not good. That's terrible. Does that have anything to do with immigration? No, I think people in Australia, the immigration thing, is just the Labor government

are letting in, like, record numbers of people. Right. And don't get me wrong. There is definitely some racist. I think the rally was, like, started by some guys pretty racist. But I think there'd be a lot of, like, regular people going to it who aren't aware of who the organizers are.

You know what I mean? I mean, every time you go to a rally, for, like, a one-off left-wing cause, where I go, this is a good left-wing course. The communists are there, big numbers. I assume it's the same the other way. Yeah, look, I believe you have the right to protest anything,

no matter how your idea may be. There's not some secret. All right, so they're not connected. This is just a weird thing. No, but I dare say there would be some overlap between the sovereign citizen and the immigration rally people. You know what I mean?

Interesting. Well, the guy's wearing sort of, yeah, a bit of a funny get-up. But the police are looking for it. Well, they haven't found him. He's actually apparently a bushcraft. expert. So they've got Starforce out there. This guy, he's probably got, like,

he's living in a cave somewhere. He loves the bush, does he? Yeah, so he's like, he's like apparently... That's not what I've heard. It's not what I've heard. I heard he's gone for a younger. Anyway, he... Yeah, yeah, he's more of a shrump. Anything you'd like to...

Anything you'd like to shout out to the James Donald Forbes-Bakand Canamaran Plan listeners? East Adelaide-Lat Thailand, best time company in South Australia. He's satellite Thailand, Thailand company, everybody. I like that... I like that you're foreign correspondence, like a tradesman. I mean, Sam didn't pick up the phone. Sam's in trial.

You're Queens counselor, mate, and you're Tyler, mate. All right, we can't get the guy with the uni education. Let's go to the man. Nice. Feet on the ground. That's what I've got, mate. I'm actually, I actually probably vent more conversations with people at the immigration rally than anyone, you know, on a job site. How big are these anti-immigration?

rallies? So I think the media is reporting around a thousand people, but then I'm seeing a lot of posts from people and happen to know someone that was there. It wasn't me, just to be clear. And he reckons about 15,000 people. Wow. They did this with COVID. They were always saying it was

lower than it was. That's the Adelaide one. I don't know about, I don't know if they're in the other states, too, I assume so. I know Bob Catter. Do you see the thing about Bob Catter? Threatening punch. I love it. Bob Catter. And he goes, the guy calls him Lebanese, and he says, You say it again. I'll patch you in the If they were left to me, I was a racist.

But that was also, I think, the most Lebanese thing I'd ever seen was threatening to punch someone in the mouth. Go straight to the most, go straight to the Lebanese playbook. And by the way, I love the Lebanese people, and I love all my Lebanon listener. And I think the Lebanese willingness, I probably, I think I might, I'll check. But I think the, I think the, I think, I doubt it. I think willingness to punch someone in the mouth is a beautiful, over a point of honour, is beautiful, and I've been going to the Lebanese Mass. Love, love the Lebanese.

Yeah, but he didn't, and not once was there a mention of his cousin getting involved, too, which is very strange, though. That's the Australian side of the world. No, but the Lebanese. Oh, yeah, there we go. It's not typically a one-on-one type situation. I'm a big supporter of the Lebanese. I love their second-hand bookstores.

I love their farmers markets I love their What is what The image of the Lebanese are you paying Excuse me lesbians No the important thing Anyway we're having fun And East Adelaide Tiling Company
