Acast.com Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, the hardest working man in show business,

Mr. Please Please himself, James Donald Forbes McCann Katamaran. Plan show time, begin right now. I think this is the last episode that I'm going to have to record from a Volvo. Now, it may well be that I find in the future that I want to record a podcast in a Volvo. The way that rich people, to my understanding, enjoy being tied up and degraded in a sexual capacity. The rest of their life goes so well that they like being treated, you know, businessmen apparently like getting walked on. Has anyone else heard this?

Anyway, when I have a beautiful studio, I might miss the grit and realism of doing a podcast in the Volvo. I seriously doubt it. I think this is the last episode I have to do in the Volvo. It's been a long, hot summer of podcasts in the Volvo. I seriously doubt it. I think this is the last episode I have to do in the Volvo. It's been a long, hot summer of podcasts in the Volvo. Honestly, I was talking to my wife this week and she had, as I talk to my wife most weeks, oh, some weeks we don't talk. That's not true. We do nothing, but we talk all the time. We have a beautiful conversational relationship. Let me tell you, she's from New Zealand. And she was telling me this week, oh, Jimmy, I've come to an epiphany about the Australian climate.

And I said, my darling, what is it? And she said, I've been thinking about the Australian summer all these years that I've been here as being sort of an upgraded version of the New Zealand summer, just a hotter, longer summer. And I see now that that's wrong. The way to think about the Australian summer is not as New Zealand summer plus, but rather as the invert of the New Zealand winter. The Australian summer, she went on to say is extremely dangerous and scary and it could kill you and you've got to be super careful we had the day before

driven out to look at a bushfire there was a bushfire not far from our house and I said, get in the car love, get the kids let's go have a squiz at the bushfire so we had a look at the bushfire awesome, I don't think anyone died I hope they didn't I think everyone was fine I think it was just a big grass fire and they got a lot of water on that quickly.

But boy, it did look cool. There were a lot of people out in their cars having a squiz at the bushfire. Which is just probably insane. Have we learnt nothing? No, we have not. Anyway, the summer is too hot in Australia. That was sort of the point that was being made there and i've been recording the podcast in the volvo throughout the summer i uh sometimes i open the door to give myself a treat why the fuck is that person pulling up behind me with their high beams on no they're just pulling into that drive but yeah but why were their high beams on sorry they oh i didn't know they were turning off they just came in real slow they just came in real slow with the high beams on and uh it was blinding looking into the rear view mirror and i just thought oh he's going to kill me then there's no reason to think that

except that it's at night time i mean my i'm sitting well i'm sitting almost in my house i'm sitting just down from my house because my neighbor paul parked in front of my house paul what was wrong with in front of your house someone else was probably sitting there game of musical car parks listen my point is this is just another thing about being in the car that's not pleasant is you know you're out there it's night time you feel sort of fragile you worry it's going to be like Michael Jordan's dad and someone's going to kill you or something there's an uncertainty and an unease that comes with a nocturnal sitting alone in a car that's not there with another recording space. So I don't think I'm going to have to do any more in the Volvo is the very meandering point that I'm going to make. And I'm going to explain why in item number two

of the official business meeting that we're about to hold. So shall we hold the... Hold on. I declare this meeting open. Rattling the Volvo keys there for you, and hopefully one day, very soon, maybe in the very next episode, that will be replaced by a gavel in a special new kind of room that I'll be talking about soon.

But nevertheless, returning to the business structure, getting business done in these podcasts, trying to implement those New Year's resolutions and be a better man. Item of business number one. I say knocking my ring against the faux wooden veneer of the steering wheel of the Volvo. Man, look, to be fair, it is a wonderful car to record a podcast in. I can't believe I got the big Volvo with the wooden finish. And it's my only asset. It's the only thing that I own is a car that cost $13,000 several years ago. And I think

it's probably still worth $13,000 despite me having driven the daylights out of it. Because apparently there's some sort of emergency second-hand car shortage. Have you heard this? Anyway, not important. Item of business number one. And it has to be item of business number one or my manager is going to be very upset with me. It's the James Donald Forrest McCann catamaran plant extravagan. Zah!

It's a show that I'm doing at the Adelaide Fringe. I always do a show at the Adelaide Fringe. This will be something like my 12th year. Don't quote me on it. But maybe 2009 was the first year I started doing it. I'm not sure. But I've done a lot of shows at the Adelaide Fringe. And usually I'll do a, you know, like a 60-seater.

That would be on the small side for me now maybe. But like a 70, 80, 90-seater. That would be on the small side for me now, maybe, but like a 70, 80, 90 seater. And I'll do it for two weeks and, you know, fill up the weekends and get like 30, 40 people on the weekdays and end up with five, six, 700 tickets sold overall. Maybe I'll do two shows and I'll end up with a few more tickets than that. And it doubles up. But basically, over the course of two weeks, I sell roughly 600 tickets. And over the course of that run, got to say, first night, exceptional.

I never have a bad opening night. The adrenaline's there, feels good, feels right. Closing night, also good. I've gotten sick of doing the show. The end is in sight. I don't have to worry about anything anymore. Last night's always a great night. In the middle, uneven.

Some really good ones, some not very good ones. So my thought was this year, what if instead of having a bunch of 60-seat nights, we have one enormous 600-seat night? Now, there are reasons that shouldn't work. I mean, one of the reasons you do it over a number of nights is that not everybody is available on the night that you one night right so you know people are probably not available nine out of the 14 nights so they so a lot of people won't be able

to come if you do one night is the fear but then also i think like how much more fun is it to be watching a show with 600 people instead of 60 people? So I really believe that the 600 seater, that's where it's at. It's also cheaper per seat to do a 600 seater for some reason. Like it's something like, you know, you might pay $5 per seat, right? I'm going to get this wrong, but you might pay like, I'm pulling numbers out of my bottom here. In a 50-seat room, you might pay $200 a night for dollars a seat.

But in a big room, you might, you know, it might be $1,200 for the one night, 600 seats is like $2 a seat. So it's more per night, but it's less per seat. So you can spend more money on advertising to get more people in there, right? Huh? To fill it up and then to give them that good 600, you know, I just think it's time. Like there are reasons to do a long run at a festival,

like building up support over time and word of mouth and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I've been doing the Adelaide Fringe for over a decade. So at this point, if word of mouth, and I live here, so if word of mouth was going to get out about me in Adelaide, it would have happened by now. So it's time to take the step up, 600-seat room. Yeah!

If we sell it out, that's a big, big, big lump of scratch towards the catamaran. It might be something like, I don't know, it would be thousands of dollars that we have to play with after the fringe to put towards a catamaran excellence. So there will be more things coming about that one-night-only catamaran plan Extravagan. Spectacular.

Soon. But what I can tell you now is there's a promo code for the rest of January to encourage my listeners to buy tickets to that show. So if you go to the Adelaide Fringe website and you look up the James Donald Forbes Catamaran Plan Extravagan. And Zah is in brackets with an exclamation mark after it. And you use the promo code CATAMARAN, you get 50% off. So congratulations, everyone who's listened to about nine minutes of this podcast.

You can have 50% off if you're very quick about it and buy tickets to that show. And I'm going to release that promo code on my Instagram story and a Facebook post. And I'll put it on the Twitter and I'll have an email come out of it on my sub stack. And we will see next week how we've gone with that promo code

because I think it's good to sell, the harder you sell early, I mean, who knows, maybe we've gone with that promo code, because I think it's good to sell, the harder you sell early, I mean, who knows, maybe we sell it out ahead of time and I get to add an extra show and make even more money. What I usually like to do is not push these things until the last minute and then think it's going to be a massive failure and then it's fine. But wouldn't it be good if instead of having

that nerve-wracking experience, if I just, you know, if we put it out, catamaran, 50% off, and we sell a bunch of tickets. And then tomorrow I'm like, oh, sugar, we're way ahead on sales. And now I can actually just write the show rather than furiously checking the ticket sale report, which doesn't write the show at all. I have written a lot of the show. There are some songs. We're going to have an electric organ. There are some sketches.

I think it's going to be wonderful I've got a children's book about euthanasia don't worry about that so many wonderful things coming in that show so that's item of business number one if you're going to be in Adelaide for the Fringe it's March 10 at the Royalty Theatre which is of all the theatres of that size in Adelaide

the cheapest and it's also lovely like it's cheaper because it's older and they've done very little to revamp it and make it modern. And that is what I like about it. It is like a very old style. Things are made of wood in their type theatre. They do calisthenics there, which I've never understood. Girls would always go off and do calisthenics. It's a weird Australian I've never understood. Girls would always go off and do calisthenics.

It's a weird Australian pastime activity. Are we going to call it a sport? It's sort of like rhythmic dance, gymnastics thing. I mean, I've never watched it. I've just seen the utensil. Girls would always have weird batons and ribbons and in, you would see them covered in makeup and glitter. I think it's just an Australian thing. If you've done calisthenics and can tell, I mean, I don't want to go in there and watch

them doing the calisthenics because I can't imagine anything worse. I don't want to be, I'm not anti-calisthenic, right? Like, great, ladies, go on and do what you got. And thank you for the Calisthenics Association, I think, who own the Royalty Theatre, for letting me do my show there, where they would otherwise have calisthenics. My goodness, there was a lot of glitter caked into the stage. I just mean, as a grown man, it's not something that I'm going to... I'm not going to go and watch a bunch of 12-year-old girls

doing killer's things. Do you know what I mean? It's not interesting to me. And it's more... It would be very of interest to the police. So I'm not going to do it. I was reading, though, about a boy... There's this legislation that girls have

to be allowed to play boys sport is obviously the reason that they implemented the legislation i think this was in victoria i was reading about it on wikipedia during a deep dive into calisthenics and uh yeah it's like it's so that girls can play boys' sport if they want and they're not excluded. But one boy, I think, sued calisthenics and was like, I'll be doing calisthenics. And they're like, it's a girls' only thing. And he said, that's illegal. I'm a boy and I want to calisthenize. And I think they let him do it. I don't know how long he persisted with it.

The man, can you imagine the cruelty and bullying he would have copped from the girls anyway so i'll be doing the royalty theater the calisthenics building 600 seats in adelaide catamaran is the password until the end of january get your tickets uh i think it's going to be a great show i'm going to be putting more work into that we have a really a shoestring budget because the more money we spend on advertising, the less money we can spend on a boat afterwards. So it's like, how do you sell it out without spending a huge amount of money?

And one way is to use my free platform that I have now here with you to talk about calisthenics at length. I would love to talk about, maybe we'll talk to the people who run the theatre about what calisthenics at length. I would love to talk about, maybe we'll talk to the people who run the theatre about what calisthenics is exactly. There's something about small girls with four faces of makeup that I just don't like. I don't like it. I don't know what the right age will be for my daughter to start wearing makeup. I don't know what the right age will be for my wife to start wearing makeup.

She almost never does. And I don't complain. But it's, yeah, it's interesting. Interesting stuff. All right. Item of business number two. The office. Hey, it's Mitch from SideNote Podcast.

And I'm here to tell you about the new Google Pixel 9 powered by Gemini. The office. 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 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.

You will not die hosting the Hills After

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.com I think I have an office. I went to visit an office last week, an office that I wouldn't have to pay rent for. Incredible. I'd have it on a 30-day rolling lease,

but it looks like I would be able to have it for some time. It'd be a beautiful, weird, old office in town. Checks a lot of... Beautiful, weird, old is important for me. Except for on a boat. I'd like a big, shiny, new boat. But beautiful, weird, old is what I'm after in an office slash theatre slash calisthenics studio. Calisthenics, man.

I mean, let me just check on my phone. Is calisthenics man i mean let me just check on my phone is is calisthenics calisthenics do you have that anywhere else calisthenics is a form of strength training consisting of a variety of movements ah right that's calisthenics in general but but then within the Wikipedia page, calisthenics brackets Australia, is a team-based competitive performing art taking elements of rhythmic gymnastics and ballet combined with a strong emphasis on theatricality, costume, dance and musical interpretation. Since the 1950s, it has been an entirely female art form. However, males have recently been reintroduced in the younger age groups.

The art form was created entirely in Australia and can be easily differentiated from traditional calisthenics by its focus on competition and choreographed theatrical performance. The word comes from the Greek words for beauty and strength. It is practiced in all states except Tasmania.

It's exclusively a mainland Australian enterprise. Hello. Now, hold on. Where was the controversy? I wanted to... Australian calisthenics came to prominence during the Victorian gold rush. It was the Royal Youth Street Society

and a famous Estedford in Ballarat. Gee, I miss the rock Estedford. So, Victoria and South Australia, there's a lot of calisthenics. Up until the 1940s, it was men and women, and then male involvement died out in the 40s. Well, what could have happened in the 40s that stopped the men from competing? I guess we'll never know. Ah, here it is.

In 2010, a challenge was made to the rules preventing males from over the age of 14 from competing. However, this was overruled due to an allowance in the Equal Opportunity Law. Let's click on that. Let's click on that. This is an article retrieved in the 5th of February. Ah, I can't get to it.

It's behind a... They've greened with envy over calisthenics in the Herald Sun, but I can't read it for whatever reason. The title of the article was, Girls won't let me dance with them. I mean, I'm sure after he won the court case, they were... You know how young girls are nice to everybody all the time and would never bully a boy to...

Mental health trouble. That's cool. Funny. Hey, did... Hey, Ann Edmonds is cited here for some reason. What? Oh, calisthenics featured in the TV series Edge of the Bush, where it is said to be a dynamic art form.

Ah, ah, Ann Edmonds did a show about calisthenics five years ago. Well, how about that? Good on you, Ann Edmonds. Maybe we'll talk to Ann Edmonds about it. I don't know Ann very well, but we've seen each other at a distance several times, and she's always seemed like a wonderful person. We did raw comedy together, and she's a very funny person. Anyway, a little bit off the beaten track there. Number two. Number two. This is why we have the

meeting format. Maybe it would be good to have someone else run these meetings for me. Gee, it's getting hot in the Volvo. Number two, I might have an office. So I'll find out this week if I have an office, and if I have an office, I will be recording the podcast from the office in the future. Boy, oh boy, you better believe it. I'm not coming back to the Volvo except to get around. Oh, that would be something to just be able to be in an office. I mean, the number one place to record a podcast, obviously,

would be in a boat. It would just be like a car, but bigger and moving and movable. But I think being without an office has made it difficult to enact plans and to be focused and to get things done. And so having an office will really allow me to expedite the plans toward boat ownership. You know what they say? You've got to get on land to get on the sea. I don't know if they do. I don't think anyone does say that,

but that's a catchphrase that I'm thinking about. Not repeating again because it wasn't especially catchy. So much is happening. Big things are happening. I was working this week on my copywriting work in a number of locations. I can't work at home. There are three screaming children, two of them running around, one of them an enfant. So I was working in a McDonald's, if you want to know the truth.

I went to a McDonald's and that's the best. I always used to do it. I always used to go and work in a McDonald's, if you want to know the truth. I went to a McDonald's and that's the best. I always used to do it. I always used to go and work in a McDonald's and I thought, that's it. I'm not going back to McDonald's anymore. Technically, it's perfect, but I can't be the guy who, you know, you work in a McDonald's long enough, not working behind the counter. Working on a laptop in the foyer. And, you know, it's ridiculous. It feels like it's cool as a narrative thing.

Oh, what do you do for a living, James? Well, I hang out with my family and try and look after them until about nine at night and then I go off to a 24-hour McDonald's, I sit in a booth, I have a frozen Coke, and I write $1,000 worth of copy. And it is, I mean, it's like, it's a reasonably well-earning job that I'm able to do with a bunch of frozen Cokes in me at the McDonald's. And it is nice sitting there, like, working for an hour in the foyer and looking at the

children working behind the counter and going to oneself. In the last hour that we've both been working working i have earned more money than all of you put together and i'm working less hard and i'm not burning myself on hot grease sucker i don't know why i'm thinking of this now, but can I just say, I got to stay with Shane Gillis and go on his podcast. He's a great, famous comedian in America. And I just started listening today to, I think I'm thinking of this because they talk about wrestling on the podcast, and I just said, sucker, a bit like Booker T.

But Matt and Shane do a podcast podcast together matt's his friend from philadelphia matt mccaskill matt is super funny and i've just been thinking a lot about matt on the matt and shane podcast and how much he brings to it and that he brings like a real um inquisitiveness and a centered morality and a thoughtfulness and he's extremely funny as well but that he's uh there's some extra delicious quality that he's bringing and he got to go on the joe rogan experience today matt and shane on the joe rogan that's weird hearing a podcast that I've been on. You know? I was on a Patreon episode with them, and I was on a public episode with Ari Shafir,

and I was very intimidated by Ari being on there. But then the Patreon episode, I was more loosey-goosey, chitty-chatty, and it's like, my goodness, now there's a podcast where I can hear that same dynamic, except instead of me with those two men, it's the most famous podcasting man in the world. Joe Rogan is so successful. I mean, he's like Oprah. He's like white man Oprah.

Man, I was thinking this. Okay, hold on. Well, look, throw the meeting to a side for a second. Here's another thing that I want to say. I've got a friend who's working on a TV show at the moment in Melbourne. And he's not on the TV show. He's just writing for it. And they've got producers in the room.

And someone made a joke to have on the show about Q and QAnon and January 6th. And one of the producers said, Q, what's that? And the writer, my friend, said, it's like the biggest thing that happened in American politics. You know, Q, January 6th, the storming of the Capitol. And the producer, this Aussie TV producer said, ah, I haven't heard of it. And if I haven't heard of it, it's not going to play in the suburbs. This is the story that was recounted to me. And I just thought, um, what a fucking retard. Excuse

me. Like, excuse me. Excuse me. What a massive fucking retard these people are who work in Australian television. I mean, good Lord. Imagine not knowing that. This is the problem with Australian media, is that it's all about relatability. Mainstream media is all about being relatable. And so you have the producer there, and the producer thinks that they're intelligent. And so if they don't get something, they think, oh, other people won't get it because I'm smarter than they are because I'm in the media. And therefore, it won't be relatable to other people out there in the suburbs. Here's the newsflash, producers who work in Australian media. You're the dumbest person in the room every single time.

Every single time I've met so many people who work in commercial radio, commercial television, finding a smart person, it does happen from time to time. It's not that common. And some of the people in the room who are making those decisions are so dumb. I've met people in commercial radio and commercial television who are so profound. Like, if you had a random room of 100 people, they'd be in the dumbest five people in that room. And they're the ones who decide, as gatekeepers, what's getting out. Now, obviously, again, i want to emphasize lots of

great people working commercial radio lots of really smart people my friend jack lawrence one of the smartest people i know he was working in commercial radio he's now got the number one podcast in the country jack i'm so proud of you and jack will know what i mean when i say there are some real f***ing re*****s out there real. Real nuffie-type dum-dums who go, oh, if I don't understand it, Joe the Plumber out there in the suburbs, who's not likely to get it? The plumber in the suburbs

is listening to the Joe Rogan Experience for 26 hours a day. He knows exactly what the Q conspiracy theory is. Not only does he know what it is, he's probably got a more nuanced opinion on it than a political science major. Ah, excuse me. Ah. Don't know why they got me so charged.

Anyway, just wanted to say congratulations to Matt and Shane. I'm really enjoying the podcast. I've listened to the first 40 minutes on a drive today. And then I've even only managed to listen to less than that. It goes for, man, these Joe Rogan podcasts, they go for like a half an hour. Did I say half an hour?

They go for like three and a half hours. I don't know why I said half an hour. Because my podcast goes for half an hour. Excuse me, it's getting now too hot in the Volvo. And I've got to call it quits And I've got to call it quits. I've got to call it quits. I'm going to go inside and have a beautiful little glass of whiskey

that I did not pay for, that someone brought into the house. I'm doing a pretty good job at not buying alcohol except on Sundays. One of the laxer New Year's resolutions anyone's ever set for themselves. And I'm not doing a perfect job of it either. I'm going to go inside, edit this podcast, pop it up,

work hard, live hard, pray hard, Saint Bernard, be on your guard. That's what I'll say this week. That's my little wrap-off for you. Rip the little news off. Which is a quote there of James Brown, where he stumbles over his words where he says rip this little news off he goes i'm not gonna rip this

do you know what i mean ah it's too hot hey i want to say a big thank you to the man who donated um five hundred dollars on the patreon this week that That's crazy. $500 Australian dollars. I know it was less than your American money, but I got a really nice message from a guy, and he just uploaded $500 to the Patreon, and then he deleted the Patreon, and I wrote him a message saying, has there been a mistake?

And he said, no, I just wanted you to have it. I'm really enjoying the podcast, and so I'm going to get you some nice merchandise. I feel very blessed. And I'm going to put that money towards making an excellent plan to having a boat. And I thank everyone who's on the Patreon. I thank everyone who's listening. This podcast is ready to go.

I'm really excited about the dimensions that it can be taken to when I have an air-conditioned office and not a hot, hot, hot, hot vulva. I'd like to talk to all the young ladies in the house tonight. Don't talk very much, but right now, I think I should rip this little news off and get it across. I'd like to rap a little bit right here. I'd like to tell you why, why us men love hot pants.

Most of all, I'd like to tell you why I love hot pants too. I want you to know why. The one reason, the main reason why, why I love hot hot pants because it simplifies one thing comes at one point and there's only one answer one answer to why I love hot pants I love hot pants simply because what you see is what you get?

I'm Jessi Cruikshank. I host the number one comedy podcast called Phone a Friend. 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 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.
