And now a very special James Donald Forbes McCann catamaran plan podcast with special guest Jack Blanche and also on the YouTube version there's a video to mention. Oh yeah. Hey, welcome to this episode of the James Donald Forbes McCann Catamaran Plan. The final episode before the James Donald Forbes McCann Catamaran Plan

extravaganza which is coming up this Friday. Tickets potentially still on sale. I don't know. We're recording this ahead of time. Presume that they are on sale and that you can buy them and must do so swiftly.

But to give myself time this week to actually work on the show and get it all done, and there's a lot to get done, and a couple of curveballs have come my way. I'm joined today by two guests. One of them is visual, and one you can tell by his craftsmanship. Jack Blanche. Hey. Close friend Jack Blanche and Sam Clark.

Hello. And we are on the set of another podcast that we're working on, The Catacast. Yeah. And it has nothing to do with this. We're going through the catechism. That'll be out soon. That has nothing to do with the catamaran plan.

I want nothing to do with the catamaran plan. Absolutely nothing. You're a repeat guest, so hard cheese. I want nothing to do with the catamaran plan. Absolutely nothing. You're a repeat guest, so hard cheese. My mind turns. I don't want to bore people.

I've been talking about the big show on Friday a lot. It's great if you can come, but at some point it will already have happened and people will be tearing through this. So it's time also to turn to things that will be coming after that show. What's coming after that show, Jimmy? Can you please tell me? And the good seamen and sea women of the Canterbury land. Yes.

And I thank you all for having joined me thus far. Now, first thing I will say, this is a video podcast. I'm going to try and have more video podcasts in the future. It's exciting. To generate more money for the podcast and the boat. Because at the moment, I'm not getting any money from the audio version for the podcast and the boat uh because at the moment i'm not getting any money from the audio version of the podcast ads play before and after there should be money i don't know what's going on have you considered taking a shirt off and going on only fans i'm just

asking yes okay and quickly dispensed with the notion all right because i well i don't want to give away too much of what's coming up later on the chat. But I think there might be something hopefully coming up in my future that makes me a little more pleasing with my shirt off. Oh, hello. Can you say as many as 50 days on an island eating beans and rice? I'm trying to get on Australian Survivor. Okay. What's coming up this year? Here's an epiphany I had that I've been holding on to

because I've been talking about this upcoming live show. Sure. Tickets on sale now. James Donald Forbes, McCann, Catamaran, Plan Extravaganza, March 10. The epiphany was maybe the problem is not with the plans. Like, I don't have enough money. I'll have more money now that the catamaran plant extravaganza has happened.

Is going to happen. I don't know when this is coming up. After the show on March 10, I'll have several thousand dollars, ideally, to play with. Yeah. God willing. Scrooge McDuck diving into a big vault of cash. As many as $2,000.

Yeah, yeah. Plus with other money, I think like if it goes really, really well, I'll have five grand. If it goes really, really badly, I'll have three grand. Yeah. And so I'm thinking, how do I multiply that money? We're making $250 a month on Patreon at the moment. That money goes directly to Sam Clark.

Sam Clark, hello. Hello. Who makes the video content for me. So good. Now, that video content is now monetized, which is why this is being on video. Wow, glorious Technicolor. You can continue listening to the podcast in the audio format.

Nothing will happen visually that will disqualify you from understanding what's going on. So what am I going to do? I thought, do I need to come up with new and exciting plans? Right? Because maybe the other plans weren't good enough. They weren't, James do I need to come up with new and exciting plans? Right? Because maybe the other plans weren't good enough. They weren't, James. You need to come up with new and exciting plans.

But then I realised, no, the old plans were excellent. The problem was... I take it all back. The problem was with me. What are the plans I did last time? I did an art auction. Oh, that was so fun. I wrote a book.

I read the book. It was great. You read the book? You sent me the book several times. I read several editions of the book. Well, that's the other book that's going to come out. But I didn't release that book. I released the book it was great you read the book you sent me the book several times i read several editions of the book well that's the other book that's going to come out i didn't release that book i released the book of poems yeah oh is that what you're talking about no it wasn't it was your book of essays right so i've got a book of essays ready to go this is what i'm going to sort of get

to so i had the book of poems come out i didn't read your book of poems okay exactly i know you make a point about poems thoughts i did it, I did a telethon where I, it was just a little bit of a tester for the quality and training purposes videos that we do now. That was the first one. And I just sort of cold called everyone on my list. That is how it started. And I had these poems ready.

Let's see if I've got one here. No, that is millionaire. But that's another important point is, so the book, the art auction, we started making videos to try and monetize the YouTube we made the who wants to be a millionaire videos we did videos about the poetry we did quality and training purposes we've done all these things to try and grow and it's worked the YouTube channel now makes money how much money as many as 30 US cents a day that's amazing yeah about 500 years time. You'll be very rich. Something will have happened.

I think these plans and these money making ideas are actually good. The problem is with me, I haven't been a good enough strong enough, sophisticated enough person to parlay that into success. I spent a lot of money on a trip to the US which gained huge numbers of fans. Something like

the majority of people who now watch this YouTube channel are in America. Really? Yeah. That's exciting. Hi, America. Hello, America.

There are Canadian fans, Brazilian fans, almost no one in the UK. I'm working on that. Yeah. Another thing I did to try and make money was I did shows for the catamaran plan. I'm doing a big one now.

So like actually the first eternal recurrence is what i'm calling it i'm eternally recurring this year is my thought right eternal recurrence this nichian idea that your life will keep happening you're locked in your life it's like fine if that is the case how do we do it the best way possible i did some small shows in a basement last year you know i'm doing this year big show 600. 600-person theatre. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I released a small book of poems that I wrote over the course. Big book of poems. Well, I was actually thinking of a book of essays that I've worked really hard on.

The essays were great. Yeah. So I'll have that come out. Yeah. I self-published the last one. Maybe I can find a publisher for this one. If I can't, fine. But maybe we actually have a marketing sped.

I made videos with Sam. Let's make more, better, bigger videos. We've got to keep going. Feature films. I'm enjoying it. Feature films. We're loving it. Take it to the next level.

Art auction. Art auction. A bigger art auction. A bigger, better art auction. Touring. I tour more different, more varied places. What about a touring art auction? I'm open to pushing ideas together all right but there are

i'm not saying we don't have any new plans but my thought is can i look at what i did last time around and make it better and use that to make money for the catamaran plan yes i think we can james so to start with the art auction. Yeah. At the art auction previously, I started really, I think I had the venue very early on and I had the date very early on. Yeah. And then I just scrambled to get as much art as I could by that date. So now you're going to try and get the art first.

I think that was a mistake. Art first, get the good artist, and I'd work on that. I can't talk about that right now, but we're going to take a lot of the artists from last time i have got in the fire there is one of the hottest irons in the fire that i've ever i got too hot too hot i don't deserve to have an iron this hot in this fire look my sister doesn't listen to this podcast but i'm not sure if she's that famous the important thing i well your, well, your sister, I hope. She'll give you a photo. Yeah.

Please. She's a relatively famous photographer. Please. She's a very famous photographer. Yeah. Thinking about it in a more systems oriented way. The value is the artists. So let's get the best artists we can.

Yeah. Then using the artists, get the best venue we can. Yeah. Then using the artists, get the best venue we can. Yeah. And the date is then set by when the best venue will have us. Nice. I like that. I think that's the process. Yeah, yeah.

That's killer. I have a great team working the art auction. Paul and Kieran spontaneously, Kieran, we did the last art auction. He left for Sydney. He's come back with his Miss O. The boys are back in town the boys are back i listened to that a lot your girlfriend how good is that song uh it's a great song spread the word around uh jack's girlfriend margot is helping me get ready for the show much 10. personal assistant of j James McCann. Did she mention that?

To me, yeah. I introduced her to someone jokingly today as my personal assistant. And I could tell it rankled. I'm going to call her that all the time now. Because afterwards she said, your sister, we were walking away. She was like, personal assistant. I'm going to enjoy giving her a big hug and being like, I'm so lucky to hug the close personal assistant of James Thomas McCann. I should be...

I'll hug you instead. It's fine. All right. Yeah. Well, another one of the things actually was staffing because Sam was the first hire of the pod. And I say hire loosely because we are not governed by traditional employment norms.

Feudal contracts. Yeah. sam works the land yeah i have the law of the is it the law of the duke i get right i know my duties thank you and uh so like but i think hiring having a bigger team and more people and having margo now and margo's so good to work with i know she has to do other stuff and she's not going to be a permanent hire i hope that's not true i hope that she that you fly so high that you know i should be so lucky that she would be my pa properly forever and there are other people that i'd like to bring on to the there's uh i've got two ladies in melbourne who in their respective fields, some of the brightest, sharpest, most interesting people I've ever met, and they're fans of the podcast. One of them is a patron,

and I'd like them to help in various ways as well. But, James, I just have one question. When do I become part of the entourage? What stage is that? I've seen the way you treat people you work with in your white-collar job, and I don't think we should talk about it. It's totally fair. You treat it like a Game of Thrones. I would try and kill you and take you work with in your white collar job. And I don't think we should talk about it. It's totally fair. You treat it like a game of thrones.

I would try and kill you and take your spot. That's very true. No doubt. And you're very good at it too. Do you want to edit any of that conversation out? No. Okay, great. I do not.

Hiring different and more people, right? Sam needs assistance. Oh, still here i mean you we've spoken about getting you a best boy yeah i'd love a best at this point i'd just like someone to edit for me yeah is that like i always saw that as such an essential part of what i do no and now i could not i could not be more stressed and we've developed right it's just the work backs up so it's like all right if then if the thing that's going to help us make more money and more videos faster and better is you have more time for other things and you need a first ad man

your first true yeah it's true find that person cast the net you might have to audition people look for the role someone who's going to you know, who's going to enjoy the experience more than the recompense. An intern. Can we get an intern to help with the editing? And other stuff too. Like Jack was, Jack was incredible. I should say that Jack came out with us when we shot our recent skit. I don't know how much you want to go into that.

We have a skit coming out soon. Jack was an incredible director, I would say. We put you in a director assistant role. Thank you, Sam, because I don't think I was ever going to be mentioned that I helped out with that if you hadn't mentioned it. You did really well. It's not out yet.

And more editing remains to be done. Well, another person is my neighbour, Paul, who when we did the Christmas special together, so nice, all the boys coming together to get that done. The boys are back. Paul's a guru. I actually really look up to Paul. So nice all the boys coming together to get that done. The boys are back. The boys are back. I actually really look up to Paul. Like I really want to work with Paul Moore.

Team, crew, it's about building a crew. The Christmas special, we've got to obviously do another Christmas special. And it's gotta be bigger and better than the last Christmas special. I want there to be like cutaways. Like what do people think about Christmas in the street? And there's like little packages that we run through it.

Christmas? Christmas. Never heard of it. Oh, we knew it. Pass, pass. All those things. The vague point I'm making is can we... I'm on a new level.

Yesterday's price is not today's price. Take the idea stop trying i always am like can i just do something new is novel novelty that's true that's always your weakness point i'm always like new i don't work on my material so it's like i released some uh stand-up comedy videos over the last year and as with all the stand-up comedy videos i've put out on youtube it's the first time i'm doing that stand-up comedy. And the last is the other one. Often the last time because I forget how it goes and I get bored by it. So it's like, all right, maybe this year I'm working on-

James, there's been a criticism of mine for years. A one-hour comedy special, like a really organised good one-hour comedy special. Because you've got great bits that I've seen you do and you'll do them in a video and then you'll never do them again. And you hate going back to the well. You just go, ah, I've described this to other people. You, you think like you've achieved it,

you know, you've arrived, you've done the perfect form. I will never do that joke ever again. And it's like, ah, but that's the thing as the comedian, you should keep doing.

Cause that's what is going to make you the money. You know, usually, usually when a non-comedian gives you comedy advice, it's shitty. That is also the advice that every other comedian gives you. Not one person in comedy has ever said to me, James, your system of writing 30 minutes of material,

shooting it on stage, taking the best 10 minutes, publishing it, and never doing any of it again, or even working through the 20 minutes that you didn't include in the video, is a good system that you should keep doing. Not a single one. I'm a big fan of this decision that you didn't include in the video is a good system that you should keep doing not a single one i'm a big fan of of this decision that you've come to of your idea to to to eternally recur back to last year and to to do this stuff bigger and better how i don't know how many years it's going to take me of recurring to be the sort of man who can do these things properly i mean the

material and all of it's different right like okay Like, okay, we've got to release stand-up again. It's different stand-up released in a different way. Hey, it's Mitch from SideNote Podcast, and I'm here to tell you about the new Google Pixel 9 powered by Gemini. Anyone who knows me knows the Pixel has always been my favorite out of all the phones I've ever had.

Now with Gemini built in, it's basically my personal AI assistant. Since I'm truly terrible at keeping up with emails, I use Gemini to give me it's basically my personal AI assistant. Since I'm truly terrible at keeping up with emails, I use Gemini to give me summaries of my inbox, which is a lifesaver. And if I'm feeling stuck creatively, I just ask Gemini for help and bam, instant inspiration. You can learn more about Google Pixel 9 at store.google.com. 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 get thirsty for the hot wiggle. I didn't even know what thirsty man 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. Acast helps creators launch, grow, and monetize their podcasts everywhere. Acast helps creators launch, grow and monetize their podcasts everywhere. Acast.com Different way. Different art. I'd like to have another book come out. Different art come out.

Different art auction. Yeah. Different things in the Christmas special. Different videos coming out. Different people on the team. So it's all new stuff. It's new podcasts coming out. But I think the principle

behind all those things in the animating animus the animus the animating principle is good so i just wanted to share that and get that out that that is the future i just have one idea james yeah which i think could be easily folded into this. Okay. Once a year in December, Kieran comes, takes a bunch of photos of you. Shirt off, shirt on. I don't care. Okay.

January, February, March. You want a calendar. I want a James Donovan once we can. Catamaran plan calendar. Not opposed to the notion. We could do even like a July to December one, I think. Christmas in July calendar. How about I do financial year calendars? opposed to the notion we could do even like a july to december one i think christmas in july calendar how about i do financial year calendars financial year calendars that's even sexy because

no one's bringing them out we corner them oh yeah we call it a market on the 2000 2023 to 2024 calendar it's you in april with your like shirt off saying remember to do your taxes so i'm not opposed to because i like the new ideas as well i want to like part of the eternal recurrence has to be that last year i was coming up with new ideas and doing them as well so it's like as well as those old ideas that i'm doing better you're doing yeah when a new idea you're doing your ideas badly yeah i'm doing a new idea i'm in I'm hopefully executing my new ideas better, but the execution improves. So things like I'm currently at work on an album of covers

by women artists. I'm calling it Cover Up, and the cover will be me in a hijab. But I'm also working on this new Susan Boyle EDM album. You told me about that, And that sounds fucking great. To be honest. Yeah. It's like Subaru, but it's Subaru.

Yeah. And that's, it's the gift. And I've actually come, I thought I was thinking about that today where I was like, I want to listen to those songs. Oh man, I've got some ready to go.

Yeah. Not right now. Uh, I was going to, her second album is called the gift. I was going to call it an even better gift, but my friend Sam McDonough gave me a better title, I think. Yeah.

The Gift That Keeps On Giving. Yeah, Sam McDonough is correct. He seldom wrong, and when he is wrong, it takes a long time arguing with him to get it out because of his lawyerly tricks. Seeking legal advice from Sam is something I'm planning on continuing to do. He has been rock solid on legal advice. Definitely a good idea'm planning on continuing to do he's been rock solid on legal definitely good idea yeah he's my man so what else can i do to elevate example

a book i'm seriously trying to chase a book deal yeah uh i don't want to self-publish it if i don't have to i will if i have to and i can do it differently but i'd really like someone to publish my book. And the book's written. It's currently called Subterranean Ear Luxury, and it's 40,000 words of mostly completed essays. I thought the essays were great, but I've always disagreed with the title.

I'm sorry, Josh. I'm sorry to be the black hat. No, once again, much like the comedy advice, I'm yet to speak to a single person who goes- An eternal recurrence. That's a fucking great title. Thank you very much for having it. Great essays that you will love by James Toniforce McCann. Like, what's wrong with that?

It doesn't do anything for me. That's what's wrong with it. Sam, what do you think? Yeah, it's- Subterranean ear luxury doesn't go for you? It's that Jack Kerouac kind of thing. Is that right? Subterranean something, something, something.

Is the play on that or no? No. It's not. Don't ask him. But Jimmy, so last year you did the poetry book, Great Poems That Everybody Will Love. Yeah. Let's say this year you do Great Essays That Everybody Will Love.

Then next year you can do another book and it could be great short stories that everybody will love. And then year after that, great long form novels. That everyone will love. James has got a theme going, right? So he's got the great ex that everyone will love. But before that you partnered a old actor with a,

I was gonna say a fake terrorist attack. So. Help me understand what, oh. Can we do, can we do. Marlon Brando 911. Can we do Grace Kelly Boston Marathon? Can we do that? Can we do.

How about a little Cary Grant vaccine? I mean, goodness gracious me. Cary Grant, Wuhan lab. There is another book of poems that's almost done, which the current working title is a play on Marlon Brando 9-11. Okay poems that everyone will think are okay. I was just going to go further. Yeah.

And I was going to call it niche poems with limited appeal, but my wife just started casually referring to it around the house as horrible poems people hate. I actually like the niche poems with limited appeal. I think that is funny. I would be more inclined to read that book. My monkey and I have got something to hide, niche poems with limited appeal.

I actually am a big fan of that poem. Yeah. Do you not think that's the title poem? No, I think that is the title poem. Yeah, I think that's a great poem that your wife incorrectly told you not to publish yeah well she hadn't heard everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey yeah and she just thought it was sort of a vulgar poem about fucking a monkey it's a great poem sorry i mean it is a vulgar poem about fucking a monkey my monkey and i have got something to hide

but i will never tell you what it is i forget how how it goes off the map. It's one of the few that I've actually paid attention to rhyme and verse. Sam, what time stamp are we on, mate? We're on like, we'd be at just 20. All right. Well, that's, we don't need a huge amount more than that. I haven't read, have I read the monkey poem on the podcast? I don't really listen to the podcast. I just pay you to listen to the podcast

and then don't do it. And if we can have a few more unexpected patrons like Jack, I'd be. You'd be well on your way to financial stability. No, read the poem, read the poem. I wanna read the poem. I'm gonna get my phone, hold on. My monkey and I have something to hide.

A poem by James Donald Forbes McCann, coming out now in an eponymous book. My monkey and I have something to hide. I'm sorry, but I can't reveal what it is. If I told you what monkey and I have been doing, the police would take me away from my kids. And I doubt that I'd get to see monkey again so if i am to avoid imprisonment successfully my unquestionably actionable monkey activity must be undertaken entirely clandestinely unquestionably actionable monkey activity is also a good name for a book of poems yeah that's true yeah they say everybody's got something

to hide monkey and i do not doubt that that's true. But there's simply no way that the thing that you're hiding is as necessary to hide as the thing Monkey and I do. I imagine one day you'll all be more enlightened and we can live openly, free from your shame. But until such a time which might never come, my simian proclivity dare not speak its name. might never come, my simian proclivity dare not speak its name.

Glad to have killed it in the room. If I'm stern, it's because I've stopped drinking. I'm on several days into Lent of not drinking, and that is probably another thing that has to continue for self-betterment. Here's a couple more things that happen to make these plans work. The drinking,

I'm less happy, but I'm better when it's gone. I'm not going to stop drinking entirely, but we might just have to limit it to Sundays and a couple other days of the week. Days ending in Y, something like that. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's a safe bet. Yep. I think even if I just went weekends, I'd be okay.

Friday, Sunday, yeah. Well, Friday's a penitential day, so I was actually thinking if I was to take two days off, I'd just go Wednesday, Friday. Totally fine. I'll figure something out, but I have to have like, until I get my boat, Bob Hawke style, I have to have some pretty firm rules around the drinking.

Exercise is another one. I'm loving riding my bicycle. I ride up Norton Summit. I have to exercise a lot. What else are you doing? What else? Keeping the Sabbath holy and spending that time with my family. That's beautiful.

Yeah. That's important for me. It sounds horrible, but to be productive and to not get weighed down, I need to really fulfill the part of me that needs to be quenched with family love. I need to get enough family love so that I can do the stuff that I need to do for my family. What else, James? What else? Keep them coming.

Do you think there's anything else I need to publicly discuss? No, I don't. Can we quickly do affirmations? Do you want to have some affirmations? I want to do some affirmations. All right. James. Affirmation.

That's coming back. Okay, we've got to bring the affirmations back. Affirmation. Yes. James, you're doing great. Everything you're doing is great. The camera implant's going great. Your show is going to be great this Friday at the Regency Theatre.

Don't go to the Regency Theatre. Don't go to the Regency Theatre. Whatever you do. It's the Royalty Theatre. It's the Royalty. I knew it was something. March 10, Royalty Theatre. Tickets on sale now.

Thank you. I know that show's gonna be great Sam you're doing a great job Sam you're so great We're gonna figure out How we're gonna shoot that this week If you wanna come on down To the Royalty Theatre

I think Aziz Ansari style The post Me Too special With the cameras on stage And we'll get a spotlight And you can hide in the dark Or something cool We'll find a cool way to do it I haven't seen it

I'll have to check that out That's cool It's really great Alright Affirmation Affirmations I don't know I don't have other affirmations.

Affirmations. I love you boys. I love this crew. I'm feeling much better. And I think the Croweys are going to have a great year. That's another thing. I think the Croweys are going to have a great year. Who cares?

All right. You don't have to. Affirmations. Patrick Zangersfield is the captain of Geelong. Yeah, baby. Can I affirm? Because this is something that I think we did stumble upon in our communications this week.

Sorry, I love the over the shoulder thing that you're getting a little bit. Can you do that even more? No, no, go back to the other camera, but like lean more into the camera as you're talking. Oh yeah, that's great. Yeah, yeah. Yes.

Like I'll come over here and you pop your head out. Yeah, I like that. So I feel like we really- It looks cool, man. We landed on a heuristic and I think it's important to remind ourselves that every time that we do something, we put the energy and effort into it.

We are closing the gap between how we intend something to be and what it's going to be and what is the end result. And sometimes those are disappointing for us because we're our vision in our minds is so like bright and perfect and then what comes out in the edit whatever but we are going to keep we keep closing that gap that's that close the gap don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good

you such a beautiful man. What a beautiful man. Love you too. Well, thank you for tuning into this episode. There's more to come, obviously. I thought I was guests. We had some guests on last year. I'm working on getting bigger, better guests.

What? Yeah. Bigger, better guests? You're going to say that in front of me and Sam? I had guests who I didn't even know very well who were famous. What the fuck are you saying? It's obviously like inner and outside party. I'm saying I'm going to try and get some famous people on the podcast

I also have three kids. I need help making every day easier. So I switched to Google Pixel. It's a phone powered by Gemini, your personal AI assistant. Gemini can help you summarize your unread emails, suggest what to make with the food in your fridge, and it helped me achieve a family photo where everyone is smiling at the camera. I didn't think it was possible, but it is with Google Pixel 9. Learn more at store.google.com.

ACAST powers the world's best podcasts. Here's a show that we recommend. I'm Jessi Kirkshank, 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 a thirsty man 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.
