Thank you for listening to this episode of the James Donald Forbes McCann catamaran plan. If you'd like to listen to bonus episodes, go sign up to the Patreon. That's patreon.clom. Clom? Ah, we f***ed that. Anyway, you'll look, you'll find a way. Catamaran Home! Today's special city is Berlin. Hello Berlin listeners, both of East Berlin, West Berlin, North Berlin, South Berlin, Central Berlin. I talk about this on the Patreon, so I'm not going to go into detail here, but I have my

own mysterious reasons for wanting more listeners in Berlin. I managed to do this very successfully a couple of years ago in Dublin. Hello Dublin listeners. Not talking about you at the moment, but gee gee we're happy to have so many Dublin listeners. But very important that we increase the number of listeners that we have in Berlin. Why? I talk about it a bit on the Patreon. I'm not going to go on and on about it now. But I'm going to find these cities and we're going to increase. I don't know what I have to do to get people in Berlin to listen. If you're a listener in Berlin please reach out this week. Every week I'm going to have a different city out there in the world where

we have a tipping point, where we have almost enough people to manifest one of my intriguing new plans that's coming up. I won't talk too much about the plan yet, but Berlin. I mean what do we know about Berlin? It's a place where insufferable people from Australia go. Also some very nice people but a lot of insufferable people. If you're too insufferable to go to New York you go to Berlin and you wear you know leather and you go to that nightclub that never closes down and you have the public sex and the drug taking. Berlin. Black Bear is I think the mascot. These are just things off the extemporaneous

that I don't know about Berlin. Man, I gotta work a little harder. Well, if you're from Berlin, this is just a shout out for people from Berlin. Hello. And if you can think of a way that I can get more people to listen in Berlin, we could start some sort of youth club,

the James Donald Fawkes McCann Youth to excite interest in the podcast and aspirations for boat ownership to the young people of Berlin. Not opposed to an elderly club, I just think a youth club in Germany. There's a strong history of that really working and making impactful social change. Of course, we do a different kind of social change to the other big, well you know what I'm talking about. All right, Berlin. Okay, now we can start the podcast.

The first piece of information for this story is that Adam Gilchrist is a very famous cricket player from Australia. Everybody in Australia knew who Adam Gilchrist was. He played for the national cricket team. When you say Adam Gilchrist, that's who you think. Gilchrist? Adam Gilchrist? That's the guy. This story that I was staying up all night last night reading about on Wikipedia also involves an Australian called Adam Gilchrist. It's not the same and it's insane that he goes But this would be like if there was an actor With the first name Michael and the last name Jordan and he just said I'm not putting B in the middle of that

I'll be Michael Jordan, too It's bizarre. So Adam Gilchrist and by the way AI is not yet at the point where even though there were many many stories about this AI is not yet at the point where even though there were many many stories about this Saying not the cricketer in brackets. I was just like yeah, this was that happened to the cricketer so They're not taking everyone's jobs. Yeah, well they're taking the jobs with the what they're doing is worse anyway So Adam Gilchrist ran f45 the gym He was the gym magnate behind f45 now Now this is gym magnate, Adam Gilchrist, not. Cricket player. And F45 had a big blow up and what I didn't know is that F45 got

really big in America. And then it went on the stock exchange and then it went bad. Something I don't really understand what happened, but Adam Gilchrist, F45 Adam Gilchrist, had to step away as the CEO of the company and I think a bunch of them closed and David Beckham was really grumpy that he wasn't getting paid for stuff. But before that happened, I'm really pleased by this because I was reading about rugby league in America. So I was reading about John Bradshaw Layfield trying to stop black on black crime in Barbados. Disregard that the team, the team which folded three years ago in 2022 was the Austin Gilgronys and I looked that up and I couldn't I thought Gilgroni must be like a mythical American creature that I

don't know about and I clicked on it I'm just gonna read this on September 19 2019 after extensive polling at the end of the 2019 campaign the team opted to rename itself the herd So they had been previously knows the Austin elite then they became the Austin herd prior to the 2020 season Adam Gilchrist Purchased the team and renamed it the Gil groneys a reference to a yet to be produced cocktail based on the Negroni. Although the eponymous

cocktail appears to just be a Negroni with a different name. So before F45 collapsed he bought a professional Austin based, this Australian bought an Austin, Texas, rugby league team as a marketing ploy for his beverage, the Gilgroni. Here's a second weird thing. He also bought the LA Gil-Tinis for a second drink in the same competition. Now I don't think you can do that. I don't think, like if you're an owner of a football club, right, you've got I don't think you can do that. I don't think,

like if you're an owner of a football club, right, you've got to be all in on that football club as the owner. You've got to mean, you've got to want them to win. If you own two football clubs, that's just transparent dickhead marketing stuff. Anyway, he also founded the Guiltinis. the guillotineys and the story gets weirder because the teams got better over his ownership in the following years. They started to do pretty well and the Gilgronys, they made it to the playoffs in 2022 but then they were disqualified in the post season for violating league rules. And no one really knows what has, it's not, the league didn't really announce it, but it looks like he pumped extra money and he broke the salary cap. That's what people are alleging. I don't know. But the Gilgronies broke the salary cap. Around this time the

stock price starts to collapse and they go, you can't be involved in this anymore. You've got to sell the Gilgronies and the Giltenies. And possibly because he's named them after himself and drinks that he's had been planning to invent, nobody buys them. And so even though the teams were doing way better, they both just fold. And now Austin doesn't have a rugby league team, even though they had a stadium, bold stadium, 5000, they played at a stadium just south of the river that had a 5000 seat capacity. Here's my favourite part of it all, is that at no point that I can tell over the three years that he owned this team, these two teams, did he ever actually get around

to inventing the cocktail? The cocktail? I can't. I'm yet to find it. If anyone can find it, please let me know. I can't find it. Also, people did not like that the team got renamed the Gilgronies.

Yeah, thank you. And it ruined the team, because when he became financially unstable, no one who bought it wanted the team to continue being caught the the IP was trashed Isn't that a joy now I'm not saying That Adam Gilchrist who we're talking about here not the cricket player Was doing a huge amount of cocaine But I've never heard anything that sounded like the activities of a cocaine addict more than having a rapid expansion of a cult-like gym into America, buying two rugby league

teams, changing their names to be portmanteaus of your own name and a cocktail for drinks that you never get around to inventing, breaking the rules on how much you're paying the players and then having the teams just disappear. This Adam Gilchrist does not have a Wikipedia page, he's not a very public person. There's one photo of him at the stock exchange with the big bell when F45 becomes a publicly traded stock. It's since done so badly it's been taken down. Really nothing has just about ever made me happier than reading that last night. And I couldn't sleep. And then around that point you're like, you know, rightly so honey, my sweet wife Taylor's in the room. What are you doing? And I couldn't,

I couldn't tell you all of that then. You're welcome. I was happy to save that for you. What a joy. Hello, welcome to this episode of the James Donald Forbes McCann catamaran plan. Had to get that off the chest. Didn't know what to do with it. It's not quite a movie. It's definitely not a play.

It's a funny article. But it happened ages ago, so no one's interested in that now. I would love to meet with Adam Gilchrist and ask if that was cocaine related behavior. It would be nice to go and meet the cricket player Adam Gilchrist and ask him a pattern and just have him continually say, but it's not me. But now I know, so that would be silly. Hey, great things happening here on the James Donald 4th Spokane catamaran plan. The Patreon continues to grow.

And thank you to everybody reading WimbleDog. We're working on some WimbleDog merch. Thank you to everyone who's come out to the shows. I'm recording a special this week in Philadelphia. I think one of the shows sold out and one of the shows is well on track. So we're filming two shows in Philadelphia and then off to Pittsburgh, San Jose, Baltimore, Sacramento. So much coming up, so much to do. Book of Poems coming out soon. Board game, we're hard at work. I went for a swim this evening.

I don't mind telling this. So I, before summer really got into swing, we had started going swimming and there were no lifeguards at the pool. And so if you went to the pool and nobody was there, you could just swim on your own. So it's open to members, but then for summer they get lifeguards in there. And I went for a swim in the evening.

And one thing that's changed with summer, as you may be able to tell by the way that I'm setting this up, is that lifeguards are the teenagers. Tonight it was three teenage girls and I was swimming quite late and it's just me. It's just me doing laps while three teenage girls sit on high chairs and watch me swim. And we have no rapport, the teenage girls and I, we don't talk. They don't talk to each other. They're very focused on making sure I don't drown. It's worse for sure. It feels quite weird to be surveilled by I guess they'd be 16 to 18.

I can't ask them to go away. Then there's some pressure because I'm the last person there and they're going to start shutting it up when I stop swimming. Incredible pressure to wrap up a bit early. They've got class in the morning. I think they're probably off school. But I thought that was weird. I have no more to say about that, except that I found that super, as I'm swimming, thinking about the Gilgroni. Man, I mean, maybe they did bring out the Gilgroni and I just didn't look enough for it the Gilgroni I

Wonder if I could get the Gilgroni if it does exist to sponsor the pod What is it It's not clear So in 2021 a guillotine it was just a gilly beer in an oversized martini glass So he's got a beer Now there's nothing. AG Rugby is their Instagram page. People on Reddit going, lads, what is going on with this? It was quite a popular thing. They got 14,000 likes on Facebook. And you can watch them play their game. They a real team and they got people in from around the world And when they broke up

People were sad and they were a really good team But I cannot for the life of me Find anything about the actual drink. There was a change.org petition asking them to stop naming teams after drinks. They got 524 signatures. Major League Rugby Club owners, first off, thank you for investing in American Rugby, but we got to talk about these names here. Gilgronies? Giltenies? Seriously? Stop. Just stop with this trash. Name your clubs something that fans will actually be proud to support, represent and share with

friends and family. The absurd naming after a cocktail scheme does nothing to help American Rugby and makes sense if you it is anything more than a laughing stock. Again, favourite part about it, seemingly the drinks don't exist. I mean, would that I had the confidence to do something like that? The drink that I had often thought about making was the McCann Shandy. I mean, I've got a similar, Adam Gilchrist and I, we've had similar thoughts before, but I thought Shandy in a can. Hand Shandy, it was slang in Australia for a sort of manual release, if you will. But yeah, McCann Shandy. Shandy in a can. Shandy being a lemonade and beer blended together. Not a

drink that I like and perhaps that's why. I had a friend once tell me it was impossible. He said the alcohol would eat up the lemonade and it would become extra alcoholic in the can and there's nothing you could do about that. And since then people have told me that was insane and not true. So I don't, I don't know the possibilities, the legalities, but if I ever do come out with a drink, I would call it the McCann Shandy, McShandy, maybe the McShandy. But I don't think I would, I mean how much does it cost to buy a professional sports team? But I don't think I would. I mean how much does it cost to buy a professional sports team? A low-level professional sports team. There is the Austin Crows

Who I assume have an owner and they are like the Adelaide Crows and I I met Some people from the Austin Crows at a show not long ago. They've invited me to go and watch a game So I'll go down with some of the the nascent AFL football fans in America, hopefully at some point during this season. But I don't think I'm on track to... I mean Shane did talk about, he said, could I buy the Adelaide Crows? And I remember saying that it was owned by the club, like the league owns all the clubs. To the American disposition I think this is a very hateful... There be an owner it shouldn't be owned by the club and to me as well I

mean I've often complained about that but I wonder if Shane maybe I'll I'll say listen if you're still interested there is a football team here in Austin the Austin Crows you could buy that and Then you got to call them the Croteinies. Oh Mercy me ladies and gentlemen. Hello. I won't talk about that anymore. That's really pleased me I'm I've otherwise been in a pit of the spear and Just in the middle of all this touring and all these plans Tay my sweet wife potter around around the bedroom, cleaning things, putting things away while I earn the money.

We're both working in our own way, but it does look like she's working more than me. And, uh, I tried this podcast format last night on the Patreon where you can get both that podcast and Wimble Dog. And it worked then but now post swim I don't feel as comfortable post swim as I thought. Oh I'll say this we are so I'm filming the special and I've got a bunch of shows coming up and then we're going to drive to California that's our plan that's our nice my sweet family has not seen as much of America as I have I think I've seen now 40 states I think I'm up to 40

states and Taylor the kids have seen about five so that doesn't seem fair so I'm taking everybody to California California what have you got there what is that what is that oh What is that? Oh, that's part of a tripod that broke. I think we might, uh, I might throw that out. We can pop that in the bin. Thank you, baby. Uh, yes, we're driving over and I thought it would be an exciting drive and then I've looked at it and then just looking at the map, I go, oh, that's a lot of nothing. But we're used to that, as people who drive around Australia,

or have done in the past. So I think we'll get to stop at El Paso, Texas. And El Paso, mostly known to me for the old El Paso taco kit in Australia. When you buy a taco kit from the grocery store or the supermarket it's called El Paso I don't think that's there's enough in that for me to really apparently it's a real town 600,000 people and I very little about it any any hot tips of things to see in El Paso? Would love to hear about.

There is a town on the way, what was it called? Moffa? Moffa. Moffa. There's a community in the middle of the Texas desert, near Big Bend of artists. And I think they shot No Country for Old Men there. And so that was one option to stop at. But I think in that, you know, and if we find that we, oh, it's a bit hard to getting all the way to El Paso in one day's drive from Austin, I think we'll just stop at Maffa.

And one thing in Maffa that I'd like to see is that they have an art installation in this desert town, small desert town, of a Prada store. Was it a Prada store? A Prada store. I thought that would be a good location to do the podcast. But it is a long way to drive to look at some modern art exhibitions for someone who's not a modern art fan. So we'll get

up there. What I'd like to do after El Paso is we could either just drive sort of straight on through or we can head up to Sedona. I've heard a lot of nice things about Sedona it looks incredible. It's going to be very very hot for this drive. There is a Chapel of the Holy Cross that looks sort of like built into the cliffs. I would like to go and see that. Population 9819. So if half of them wanted to go and watch the Gilgronies, they could. Excuse me. So possibly Sedona and then on to maybe we could go and see the Grand Canyon. Tell my wife has no interest at all, I don't think, in seeing Las Vegas.

But I've been told the hotels in Las Vegas are very cheap and very nice, honey. Because they expect you to gamble a lot. Would I gamble a lot? I would gamble a little if I was, if we had a conversation about that. Would you gamble a lot? I would gamble a little if I was, if we had a conversation about that. Would you gamble a little? You know, like, you wouldn't play a single hand of, uh, craps? I don't know if you'd play a hand of craps.

Gosh, there's a lot of Indian reservations around there. In fact, the Grand Canyon is sort of bordered on all sides by reservations. I don't think we've been to a reservation. I've driven through Choctaw country in Oklahoma. Choctaw nation and Cherokee nation and Muskegee and Chickasaw. Tulsa actually is just in... wow I didn't know that about Tulsa actually is just in... Wow, I didn't know that about Tulsa. Tulsa is part of the reservation. Tulsa is part of three different reservations. I didn't get that vibe in Tulsa at all. But I'm looking at it now and it appears to be. No one in Tulsa told me about that, I don't think. No one said we're on Indian land. Oh, does that mean there are two law codes functioning? One for Native, one for White? Very exciting. Looking forward to finding out more about that. So yes, we got a, I mean

it's a bloody long drive here that we're looking at. We can go to Tucson. People say very nice things about Tucson, Arizona. People say less nice things about Phoenix, but I enjoyed my time in Phoenix. But among most of the country, I think Phoenix is considered to be what we in Australia would call a whole. But I really liked, I liked Phoenix and the people of Phoenix. And, uh, and then I guess on to San Diego, America's finest town, they call it. So that's an option. My wife has no interest in popping across the border down Mexico Way either. I think our interests overlap on Grand Canyon. I think we'd probably both like to see the Grand Canyon.

on Grand Canyon. I think we'd probably both like to see the Grand Canyon. But then we'll be in California and then we're just gonna drive around California for a month with the fam and have I think a very nice time. We're gonna see our friend Ruby. Hey there's a place called Death Valley. That's where the Undertaker's from I think. Death Valley. I think we're gonna drive through Death Valley. You don't want to drive through Death Valley? We could see a shadow there and walk through it. Like in that song and then on the way back I mean it depends on time depends on patience we've got three small kids in the car I'd love to take the family through Utah and Colorado beautiful mountain driving on the way back but my

ambition for going to Denver is largely I I've... ah! I had a great time doing a show at the Comedy Works in Denver. I would love to come back, but I don't have enough new material. Um, but I would really, really like to go to Casa Bonita in Denver. Having watched that documentary, I'm sure it's very hard to get in We can go all the way up to Sacramento which in my mind is like in Northern, California But it's actually closer to being in the middle Oh, I mean, I mean, let's not make the podcast just me looking at the map. Let's make the podcast a little more meaningful You know what? I'm gonna go back to the start of the podcast and I'm gonna talk about Berlin Berlin will be the first... well you have already heard it anyway but I'm

having the idea to do it now. One moment. I thought I could go through like the Berlin news and maybe do some news about Berlin but it's all pretty grisly. There was an elderly man stabbed and a motorcycle crash that killed somebody and some protests about a change in Iranian leadership and also other protests but here's a fun thing is someone called von Drussova has beaten Wang Xingyu for the Berlin Open which so that's nice isn't it so that's so we want to shout out I mean that's nice, isn't it? So that's so we want to shout out. I mean that's also Wang Xing you's first WTA singles final Congratulations Wang Xing you for getting to very near the end and for Von Drew's over I don't know how alert

The people of Berlin are it's just very important that we grow the fanbase in Berlin. I have no ideas. I have no... I can't... I don't want to go into detail about why it's important, but if you're in Berlin, please get in touch. Maybe we start that club. I'm all over the place. I'm having a real... I'm sad because we finished Severance and we don't have a show that we watch now. That was so nice. We were so happy lying in each other's arms, sweet wife, and watching Severance. Now we have no show to watch. Maybe there's a show about Berlin.

Maybe they'd like that. Maybe there's some Berlin music. Maybe I could eat Berlin. And not the Berliner, I eat the city of Berlin. One fun fact I know about Berlin is I think they had an underground railroad network that when the city was partitioned, some stops you were not allowed to get off at because they were communist stops or liberal democracy stops. And so they like carved up the underground into two different undergrounds. Does that sound fun? Fun in what way? Yeah, just like a fun fact that people in Berlin might like hearing. But they probably know.

Wouldn't the people of Berlin know? They would know. That's more fun for the other people. I want everyone to enjoy finding out about it, but you know, I have to serve two purposes here. Yes, that's the triptych that a man gave me when I was on the road. Isn't it lovely? Isn't it lovely? that a man gave me when I was on the road. Isn't it lovely? Isn't it lovely? Uh, oh, what about if I could find a famous person in Berlin and get them on the pot? Hold on, give me one sec. I'm looking at this list of people and they're all either dead or I don't know who they are. There's not, there's not one. Now here we go. Reddit might help us.

Nope, those are just people. These are just random people in Berlin. The woman who sings Celine Dion and the U-Bahn. Maybe that would be good. I'd have to go to bloody Berlin. I can't, it's not a good time for me to go to Berlin. All right. I'm trying to, celebrities. Here we go, Ranker, top celebrities from Berlin.

All right. Katrin Navitt. She was a German figure skater. I don't know her. Elke Sommer. Blonde bombshell, born amid the devastation of World War II and raised by her Protestant parents to revere God and animals, maturing into a strapping young woman, big tits, who seemed the personification of beauty in nature. All right, so she's I think still alive. That's an option. I don't know these people. Rudolf Piers, Bill Graham, Dominic Monaghan. Well, not a household name. We might just have

to go Germany more generally to get, I mean, who's a very famous German person? Oh, do you think if I, hold on So yes, I find something like that rugby league story, but about Germany Said in Germany, Berlin specifically would be great Well Berlin listeners, if you know a fun story like that story about the Gil-Grony in Berlin, I'd love to hear about it. Otherwise, here is my list of German people that I could try and interview. Angela Merkel.

Unlikely that I could get Angela Merkel. More likely, Heidi Klum. I actually do have a, my wife and I both have a very strong interest in Heidi Klum, has uh repeat watches of Project Runway and her less well, I think it's been, I don't think there's we're getting another season of Making the Cut. I don't think Make the cut has made the cut. Claudia Schiffer is from Berlin. Did you know that? Michael Schumacher, that would be huge if I could talk to Michael Schumacher. I think he's...

People accuse him of having some sort of zombie like existence. Oh, oh, very famous German. Is she still alive? Is Nina still alive? 99 Luftballons, she's still alive. She's still alive? Is Nina still alive? 99 Luftballons? She's still alive! She's still gigging. Yeah, I'm sorry. How often is that going off?

Fairly often. We have to get that fixed. Thank you. Yes, I wonder if I could meet with Nina. I wonder if Nina has a new record. 99 Luftballons. She had a solo album come out in 2020. She won five years before that. Her last album was Licht. Which means light in English. I thought it might mean lick. Oh, do we think we can? Do we think? Oh, and that would be good. We could use that somehow.

Nina, looking for another hit. The album actually did quite well in Germany. It went to in the officiel top 800. Got to number three. One thing I will just say on this, I mean this is not my best podcast ever. I'm very sorry, but I am getting it to go for over a half hour. So that's something. We've been watching the number one song in lieu of having a show, the number one song in sequence on the Billboard Top 100. And I think we made it to the end of the 70s. And we're starting out with the 80s. I was shocked to discover that Bohemian Rhapsody was not at the time of its release a number one hit in the United States of America. And it's not as though there was great music coming out at that same time to keep that song out of there. I think maybe they saw that and they, you know, people in the Midwest might have seen that. They thought, I don't.

It's proceeding not to do a Midwest accent. I do not believe that these four gentlemen from the United Kingdom, anyway, whatever. I didn't realize that Queen didn't make it in America until later. I think it's their 80s work that really landed in America, but shocking to also David Bowie. David Bowie's not on any of these charts. Did you realize that David Bowie wasn't on there? There's not that many British breakthroughs. The Rolling Stones breakthrough,

the Beatles breakthrough, the only Aussie to get number ones is Olivia Newton-John, who every one of her songs is just a sad, unpleasant number until she's in the Grease soundtrack, which births two number ones. Frankie Valli with Greece. Frankie Valli is looking old even then in the 70s. He's looking real old and I think he's only recently stopped performing. But the big thing, one of the big takeaways is everyone's wearing like satin and sequins all through the 70s and I must say the disco music does...

I hated it by the end of that. I think we listened to random disco songs for 20 minutes as a part of that video and by the end I got the anti-disco sentiment. One of my favorite now if there's a story like this about Berlin, I'd like to hear it. Although, given what the story is, I'm sure it'll be a Nazi thing, and it's not as helpful for making the people of Berlin feel good about themselves and me,

but there was a riot, there was an anti-disco riot at a baseball game where they blew up disco records? Let me find out about this. My wife said, quite the wide pause there to bring it up, she said it sounds racist. And I think it was accused of being racist. You got entry for 98 cents if you brought a disco record to destroy. It was a major league Baseball promotion, July 12, 1979. I mean, by that point, you would have been so sick at disco. Disco's been, like, anyway. But if you hated disco, maybe you wouldn't have a record.

Are you going out and buying it? I think people must have gone out and bought, or maybe taken their friends' disco records. At the climax of the event, a crate filled with disco records was blown up on the field between games of the doubleheader between the White Sox and Detroit. Many had come to see the explosion rather than the games and rushed onto the field after the demolition.

The playing field was so damaged by the explosion and by the riders that the White Sox were required to forfeit the second game. In the late 70s, dance-oriented disco was the most popular music genre in the United States. However, it sparked a major backlash from rock music fans, and the White Sox, during a lackluster season, they got an anti-disco campaigner to promote it. They were ready to destroy the disco music they'd hoped for a crowd of 20,000, 5,000 more than usual. Instead 50,000 people came to the stadium to

watch the disco records be destroyed. Many of the records were not collected by staff and were thrown like flying discs from the stands. After Dahl blew up the records thousands of fans stormed the field and remained there until dispersed by riot police. Some scholars and disco artists, imagine being a scholar into disco. I'm a disco scholar. That could be a good disco track. I'm a scholar of the disco, scholar hoot and holler Well, um, what about I don't know how it goes. I'll leave that for someone else Although I could just I could give all the main vocal tracks now and then much like that Looking for a man in finance. Have you seen that original video? She's like i'm looking for a man in finance six five blue eyes. Well, there's the guy who goes sitting

Sitting is the opposite of standing And maybe someone could take what I say So I've got a big very carefully because this could be a number one that someone could make I'm a disco scholar, and I'm here to say I'm here to study disco in a scholarly way disco scholar who Disco disco scholar scour Acad, bulimia, make you scream here. I'm a disco scholar in academia, played by,
