00:00:00.000 Well, we're now at the stage in Canada's dystopian downfall, where local politicians and mayors
00:00:08.980 across the country are trying to shut down comedy shows because the jokes might be a little
00:00:14.740 too offensive. God forbid Canadians in these rather trying times have something to laugh
00:00:21.200 about. Surely we can't be having any of that anywhere in this country. Well, that's happening
00:00:26.760 right now to a great comedy group known as the Danger Cats. They've been shut down and
00:00:32.680 canceled across the country. And recently at a local event in Peace River, Alberta, in
00:00:39.280 a small Alberta town, the local mayor tried to shut down the show because the jokes were
00:00:45.160 a little too offensive. Well, of course, the show had to go on and it did. But we're joined
00:00:50.140 now by one of the Danger Cats members to explain what on earth is going on in this country when
00:00:56.600 it comes to stand up comedy. All right. Well, joining us now on the Faulkner show is comedian
00:01:01.860 Brendan Black, also known as Uncle Hack of the Danger Cats. Brendan, thank you so much
00:01:07.800 for joining the show. Yeah, thanks for having me, Harrison.
00:01:10.880 So what's going on here? Why are mayors so afraid of your comedy? What's the deal here?
00:01:17.220 You know, I'm still trying to figure that part out. I guess jokes are the scariest thing in
00:01:22.180 2024 now after we got through one of the most deadliest viruses to ever plague the planet.
00:01:29.660 I mean, what's going on with comedy, though? Why? Where is the sense of humor gone that
00:01:34.320 mayors like the mayor in Peace River, Alberta, a small northern Alberta town? The mayor tried
00:01:41.700 to shut your show down. What was the reason behind that? Surely they gave you a reason.
00:01:45.920 They did. And they said that the content was too controversial.
00:01:51.840 Okay. Without, I'm guessing based off of previous shows you've done, what kind of content is too
00:02:00.220 controversial for a mayor in a far north Alberta town? You would think that there are conservatives
00:02:04.260 up there, no? Yeah, you would think. But yeah, I'm not sure what she's seen or what she's heard.
00:02:11.980 But I asked her if she's ever been to one of our shows. And she told me that she has not. So I'm
00:02:17.180 unsure what exactly was the joke that really set her off to cancel the show. So I tried getting that
00:02:25.020 answer out of her. And she was very reluctant to give that to me. Well, you were looking for an
00:02:30.100 answer, a straight answer at that from a politician, which is a tall task these days. Take us through what
00:02:35.560 happened because you obviously didn't listen to the mayor. I'm hoping you went ahead with your show.
00:02:39.900 I'm assuming. What happened after that?
00:02:43.800 Well, so the beginning of the story goes is I had booked the hall. And this is back like
00:02:56.140 summertime, early summertime. And everything was good. A week of, two weeks out, I was like,
00:03:03.900 oh, I haven't heard from these guys. Maybe I should call them and get the procedure on like,
00:03:07.180 what do we need? Where do we get the keys? Do we have to sweep floors? What's the deal here?
00:03:12.160 Do we set up the chairs? Blah, blah, blah. So I called the office that does the booking. And
00:03:19.620 they put me through to a gentleman that has been trying to get a hold of me since September to let
00:03:27.520 me know that the show has been canceled. And it's just like an administration kind of deal. You know,
00:03:34.100 I don't fault him one bit. He just had the wrong information to get a hold of me, had the wrong
00:03:39.420 email and whatever. So it's not his fault. But then I'm now learning that the show has been canceled
00:03:46.320 since September. And he tells me that the mayor had stepped in, their CAO, and also his boss. I don't
00:03:58.360 know the title of that position, but they stepped in and canceled the show for reasons of being too
00:04:07.000 controversial or too whatever. So I decided to call the mayor and didn't answer, left my phone or left
00:04:16.500 a callback number. She had called me late at night. And I was just chilling, watching a little Thursday
00:04:22.880 night football. And I was not expecting a call from a mayor that late. So I wasn't prepared. I didn't
00:04:28.640 even know who the hell was calling me. And it was like, it's an elderly woman. So it's a very soft
00:04:36.200 voice. And then when she said, Elaine, then I was like, oh, are you the mayor of Peace River?
00:04:40.900 And she was like, I am. And I was like, oh, I'm one of the comedians that you canceled the show on.
00:04:45.780 And then the demeanor changed entirely. And I was like, I would just like to know why.
00:04:50.820 And yeah, she just said, at the time we found the content to be too controversial. And I asked,
00:04:57.300 well, have you seen our show? Nope. I was like, well, then how do you know that the content is too
00:05:03.060 controversial? Well, you know, I always get that. Well, you know, like I'm supposed to know what
00:05:09.200 they're thinking, you know? And then, yeah, then that happened. So that led to me scrambling to find
00:05:20.740 a location. And that was out in Berwyn, just outside of Peace River, a friend of a friend.
00:05:26.440 He has a local bar out there. So we just decided, you know, we'll go out there. We'll do the show.
00:05:31.120 We'll make it happen. It's a town of 500 and like 17 people. We put 100 people in the bar
00:05:38.560 and 30 people were outside protesting. So the population increase is like, what, 12% of a
00:05:45.260 small little hamlet of Alberta? Yeah. It was the most action that town has seen in probably 30 years.
00:05:54.200 That's crazy. So I saw on social media that the police showed up at your show. I'm guessing
00:05:58.640 they didn't purchase tickets to attend. They got a bill in the mail.
00:06:05.040 Nice. And what were they there to try to shut it down? Or what was what was the deal with that?
00:06:09.720 They had showed up. I don't know the whole reasoning, but from my understanding that some
00:06:14.880 someone called them and because of the protesters outside that were harassing people that were coming
00:06:20.740 into the venue, that seemed to be the issue. And apparently these are like perpetual protesters
00:06:28.720 of that area. So this was this was their big Friday night. So we were able to bring the community
00:06:34.240 together. This is not the first time you've had a show canceled on your group. I've noticed that
00:06:40.760 there have been several shows that seem to have protesters at the front and they have they take
00:06:45.860 issue with a bunch of other things. How many times have you been canceled at this point?
00:06:50.600 You know, it's sad to admit, but a lot. It is sad to admit. And I don't know, I've it's kind of come
00:07:02.040 to the point now where you just kind of in the beginning, it was very like disheartening. Like it
00:07:07.400 hurt, you know, and now it's just part of I hate that it's become part of like, maybe this might be
00:07:14.160 the answer that I got to get of like, hey, we don't want you here. And, and but I'm finding a
00:07:19.820 shift is most of these venue owners now, they want the business, you know, after
00:07:25.460 lockdowns and everything, like inflation's hurting them, that they want something like we are an
00:07:33.000 economic, economic engine when we come in through town. Like, I've noticed that some places that we
00:07:39.860 go to, we go to a restaurant and the restaurants full, and the, the waitress is like, we don't know
00:07:45.320 what's going on in town right now. But there's a lot of people out. So like, when we do come to these
00:07:50.400 small towns, bars, hotels, everybody sees an influx of income. So the positive outcome of us coming
00:07:59.440 there is great, especially for those that do have local businesses and are looking to generate some
00:08:06.160 money. So right. And, and you know, what I don't understand is that everybody for the longest time
00:08:11.700 has known that comedy is supposed to be offensive. And it's supposed to make people feel a little
00:08:18.100 uncomfortable at times, but to have a good laugh, you're not supposed to, you know, have like weak,
00:08:22.860 soft jokes, you're supposed to have the freedom to make jokes about everyone. What's gone? What happened
00:08:29.100 all of a sudden, because now we're dealing with comics being canceled and people taking comedy too
00:08:35.220 seriously, where did the sense of humor go from everybody in this country?
00:08:40.220 I think it just becomes a, you want your voice or heard. And I don't blame them. You know, and I
00:08:48.780 have no ill will towards these people that are protesting, you're exercising your right as a
00:08:53.420 Canadian. And if that isn't, if that isn't present, then there's something wrong here. You know, you,
00:08:59.220 you, you, you deserve as much freedom as I do. So I don't, I'm not sure. I think maybe
00:09:05.700 this is their way of being heard. And this is their way of coming together with their group.
00:09:13.500 Maybe this is something that they do, you know, like, uh, I've heard in, in a number of occasions
00:09:18.460 that, um, some of these places that we do go and protesters do show up that this is what they do.
00:09:25.740 Like you talk to the cops or whoever, and it's like, is this what, are these guys always protesting?
00:09:32.280 And they're like, yeah, yeah. We deal with these people quite often and they are constantly
00:09:37.780 protesting something. So maybe we're just the flavor of the week because we are coming to that
00:09:42.360 area. I think that's a, probably a, the biggest reason, but as far as like sense of humor, like,
00:09:47.860 I find that, you know, like the people are coming to the shows, they are wanting to laugh.
00:09:52.700 So I, it is there, it is present. And I want to ask you now about, uh, some of the new legislation
00:10:00.520 that's coming down, specifically this online hate speech idea, the idea that's being debated
00:10:05.760 on right now in parliament. Basically, you know, uh, you could end up in prison for some
00:10:11.320 jokes that are deemed to be, uh, to cross the political correctness line. I mean, ending up
00:10:16.840 in prison would give you a lot of material, but I'm not sure. Is that a price you're willing
00:10:20.000 to pay in this country? Um, well, you know, the end goal is the States always, you know,
00:10:27.360 uh, that's, that's bigger population, um, more clubs to work. It's just, that's where
00:10:34.860 you want to end up. You don't want to, unfortunately, Canada for how big the land is, we just don't
00:10:41.200 possess a lot of comedy clubs here. Uh, I'm grateful for the ones that we do have, but,
00:10:46.040 uh, you want it, you want to end up down there. So maybe I'm already, uh, across the border
00:10:51.260 by the time, but when I come back, they'll slap the cuffs on and teach me a lesson, but
00:10:57.360 it is worrisome. Uh, it is some legislation that I, we shouldn't just be treading lightly
00:11:06.000 with. It should be concerning because if we're going to start telling people what they can
00:11:12.520 and cannot say, this becomes a very slippery slope. And even those, the one, the ones that
00:11:17.140 are championing, uh, this, this bill going through, you know, they're going to come for
00:11:23.740 you eventually. It doesn't just end with the people that you hate. It also comes for you
00:11:29.380 at the end of the day.
00:11:31.800 And as you point out, this is being done by a small minority of Canadians. I think the
00:11:37.260 overwhelming majority of Canadians don't believe in these hate speech laws. They want to go to
00:11:42.200 a comedy show. They want to be able to laugh at themselves. They want to be able to laugh
00:11:45.180 at others that are, you know, seem to be protected, um, in this country. And, and yet it's a small
00:11:51.660 group of people that are trying to push this. You think, uh, you think comedy has a future
00:11:56.280 in Canada if something like this comes through and is in law?
00:12:00.860 I think it does. And I know that goes against the grain because then it makes it more fun.
00:12:07.080 You have to be more creative. You, uh, you then become a bit of an outlaw and that's an,
00:12:15.320 that's an enjoyable path to know that, uh, if, if you're disliked by them and hated by them and
00:12:21.840 they want you to shut the hell up, it, uh, it, it brings this new adventure into it. You know,
00:12:30.540 uh, obviously at the end of the day, we're just going to tell jokes, but, uh, it does,
00:12:36.340 it does sound fun. It does have a little bit of a, and maybe we are on the, on that path right now,
00:12:43.200 a little bit with what we're doing and coming into these towns. And it's like the, you know,
00:12:48.020 like an old outlaw movie where these, these goons are coming into the saloon to come play poker and
00:12:55.540 donate some shillings to the local bordello. I mean, it's just, it's crazy that, uh, that a
00:13:03.980 small comedy group, a three, three main comedy group just manages to, uh, manages to pull out
00:13:11.200 the crazies, uh, in each town you go to. I got to ask you about this because one of the reasons why
00:13:16.840 your shows last year were being canceled because of some merch you were selling the, uh, the Picton
00:13:21.640 farm shirts. I explain, explain what happened here because I've seen some people reporting on
00:13:27.720 this who don't, who don't have any sense of humor and can't laugh about it. They didn't even bring
00:13:31.940 you on to talk about it. So I want to ask you what's gone on there. Why, why did the left and
00:13:37.300 why did people freak out over these shirts? You guys were donating the proceeds to charity, you know?
00:13:42.840 Yeah. $0 were donated to the Ukraine.
00:13:45.460 Well, that was the funniest part. I thought at least the, it does make me laugh here. And reporters
00:13:53.020 have to take that serious, you know, uh, that we are donating the proceeds to the Ukraine that did
00:13:57.940 make me laugh. Uh, but this, this is the, another thing that they are getting wrong about the shirt
00:14:05.660 is, uh, so Sam has been telling a joke now for over three years on stage about Robert Picton.
00:14:11.660 And, um, he then thought like, Oh, I've been telling this joke for three years. There is nobody crazy
00:14:20.720 enough to put themselves on a t-shirt with that man. And he took it upon himself and he said,
00:14:27.380 I'll do it. He put himself on that t-shirt. And the crazy thing is no one bought it. There was zero
00:14:33.520 sales of that shirt. It existed on our website for, I want to say 11 months and not a single person
00:14:41.080 bought it. They were not interested in it. Uh, dismissed it. I actually forgot it was on the
00:14:46.520 website until, um, February of last year. And, um, then we got tipped off that this is going to be
00:14:56.160 an article. So I went into the backend of our website. I changed some coding so that way nobody
00:15:02.000 could buy it. But then it came up and it said that it was sold out opposed to just not available.
00:15:07.400 So then it looked like we're rubbing salt in the wounds that because of this happening. But meanwhile,
00:15:14.820 here we haven't sold a single one. And, uh, the, the crazy thing is, is they, with the media
00:15:23.900 circulating this image, it caused this want and need for it. So these off sales, these like offshoot
00:15:31.640 sites, like Walmart, has it posted on their website. Somebody had put it on that website
00:15:37.600 and Walmart is selling it. So any sales of that shirt was never on our behalf.
00:15:45.000 And yet, and yet it was used as a way to, uh, to attack you guys. And it resulted in
00:15:49.800 protests. It's just absurd. Again, I don't understand how so many people refuse to acknowledge
00:15:57.640 that comedians are, are, are not pushing a political message. They're not running for
00:16:03.380 office. They're here to make people laugh. Like that's the idea that people just don't
00:16:07.640 seem to figure out. They don't seem to get that. Yeah. So the lie that they've been perpetuating
00:16:12.700 in, in the mainstream media is that we profited off of murdered and missing indigenous women,
00:16:19.140 which is not the case at all. We didn't, in fact, uh, Sam lost money by paying for an artist
00:16:26.380 to do that image. And then on top of it, the only copy of that shirt he had paid for.
00:16:34.100 So he had, he has the only one that has ever been in existence on our behalf.
00:16:40.880 Yeah. I mean, I, I, I just, I wonder like, are we not allowed to make jokes anymore?
00:16:46.480 Are, are comics not allowed to make jokes anymore about certain groups of people,
00:16:50.760 certain subjects? Like that's kind of this, that's the direction we're headed in right
00:16:54.440 now. It's like, oh, you know, you can make fun of your, your own group, but if you're
00:16:59.160 not indigenous, or if you're not black, you can't make jokes about those groups of people.
00:17:03.600 Otherwise people are going to get really upset at you. That can't be a good environment
00:17:08.120 for comedy.
00:17:08.700 I mean, those people that, that don't want to include themselves in the joke and can't
00:17:17.200 laugh at themselves. I mean, do you want them around? Do they sound like fun people? You
00:17:22.600 know, the Edmonton scene, very diverse and we all rip on one another. It's one of the best
00:17:29.500 scenes in Canada. And I will, I will say that over and over again. Um, the, even the up and
00:17:35.380 comers, they get it. They get that. We're all here to make people laugh. That's it. You
00:17:41.020 want to do all that protesting and activism stuff. There's four or five universities here.
00:17:46.660 Go, go have at it. You know, you're in a comedy club. These people came here to laugh, make
00:17:52.260 them laugh. That's your job. Do it.
00:17:54.160 Yeah.
00:17:55.120 You brought up the Edmonton scene. I want to ask you generally about the Canadian comedy
00:17:59.880 scene. Um, you know, what's, what's the state of the comedy scene here? How's it doing?
00:18:04.660 And, uh, clearly it appears that everybody is trying to work towards getting out of the
00:18:09.620 country, but generally how's, uh, how's comedy working here in Canada so far?
00:18:13.500 I think the future is looking good. We got some good up and comers. You know, I'm also
00:18:17.340 pretty fresh into this. I've only been doing it for five years. So I'm still, I consider
00:18:21.680 that new. Um, I think people are more accepting into what comics are trying to do. They understand
00:18:31.820 what's happening up there. I mean, obviously every now and then you're going to have, uh,
00:18:36.900 have some people a little upset. If you've seen, uh, the clips from Forte that he does
00:18:41.740 with the Holtzman walkouts, uh, some P Holtzman is very good at, at getting the people going.
00:18:48.420 So, I mean, it's looking good. Um, more and more people are accepting of what's happening
00:18:53.740 on that stage. You know, these are just thoughts. This isn't meant to be, um, manifested into
00:19:01.980 reality. It's, it's just thoughts, dumb ideas that exist in your head. And that's where they
00:19:08.640 end. You don't believe any of this shit. It's, it's just, Hey, I'm going to write this down.
00:19:14.160 I'm going to try it on stage, good jokes and bad jokes. Like Patrice O'Neill said,
00:19:18.880 come from the same place. The intention there is to make you laugh. So to try and correlate
00:19:25.000 this with hate speech is insane to me. You know, there is, that is if, if we, if I was
00:19:31.300 going up there and I was trying to make statements rather than jokes, then yes, you take me serious,
00:19:36.320 but look at me for Christ's sakes. You think I come walking in a room that somebody should
00:19:41.080 take me serious? We got relapsed James Franco on the show here, Harrison. I walk into a
00:19:48.720 room and I started making statements. Somebody should hit me in the head and tell me to go
00:19:51.920 back of the room, buddy. Well, uh, we appreciate your time, Brendan. Where can Canadians come and
00:19:59.500 watch danger cat shows? Where can they interact with you on social media as well? Yeah. You,
00:20:04.700 you know what? We got a big one coming up here in Toronto. We, uh, the first ever danger
00:20:09.300 fest with, uh, uh, Dan Guiry, uh, myself, Sam Walker. If you, if you hate us, come down and
00:20:16.940 boo. That's the purpose of the show to come down. Heckle. You can say whatever you want.
00:20:21.580 Come on in. Uh, that show is happening here, November 16th. And then, uh, for tickets and
00:20:28.660 all that danger cat shop.com to see all of our dates. We're, we're, we're back. We're, we're
00:20:33.880 going cross country here. We, uh, we'll be heading down to the States as well, working
00:20:38.260 with Brian Holtzman, um, danger cats on social media, danger cats, comedy on Instagram. And
00:20:45.460 then uncle hack 69 for me. Right on. Well, if you're upsetting the mayor of peace river and
00:20:51.900 all these lefties, I feel like you're over the target, Brendan. Yeah. I, well, I got a juicy
00:20:57.760 story for you, Harrison, that I've been hanging onto and I haven't released it to anybody. And I
00:21:02.020 think you might be the guy to, uh, kind of put this out there if you got a little bit
00:21:07.020 more time on your hands. All right. Well, let's hear it. Let's have it. If you want to,
00:21:11.280 if you want to do it off the record, perfect. If you want to do it right here, you've got
00:21:15.220 it. Well, a gentleman, this, this had happened. Uh, this isn't the only mayor that has stepped
00:21:20.880 in to, um, stop one of our shows actually, or, or a municipal politician. Um, we were supposed
00:21:29.780 to go to Comox, British Columbia out on the Vancouver Island there. And, um, the first
00:21:37.340 show had been canceled. They didn't want it. Um, the manager at the, at the venue that we
00:21:43.500 were supposed to go, uh, emails came through or actually we kept it under wraps and somehow
00:21:48.780 she figured out who, what the show was. And, um, then a gentleman had reached out to us.
00:21:56.780 He was the president of the lions club there. And he said, you know what? I will take this
00:22:01.500 show on. Let's keep it quiet. You have a venue. Um, we won't say nothing until day of the show.
00:22:08.040 And then, uh, we'll figure it out from there. So week of the show, he applies for a liquor
00:22:12.920 license. He puts on that. He's having a comedy event. The RCMP then call him 20 minutes after
00:22:19.360 applying for the liquor license asking, Oh, who's, who's the comedy show up? Who are the comedians?
00:22:26.340 He says, danger cats. And he goes, Oh, you know, they're pretty controversial. Are you
00:22:30.040 sure you want that in the town? Alluding is like, this is more than just standup comedy.
00:22:35.100 That's going to be taking place. Uh, he, he's goes, no, I've been following these guys for
00:22:40.440 quite some time. I don't see anything out of the realm of, of comedy standup. You know,
00:22:45.080 everything that they're doing is a joke. They're not pushing any sort of narrative or standing
00:22:50.780 with political parties or whatever it may be, whatever the reasons may be following day,
00:22:57.320 a councilman calls him and then, uh, uh, uh, uh, attempts to pretty much bribe him by asking,
00:23:06.580 Oh, well, let what, what are you expecting on booze sales? And maybe we can make a donation
00:23:13.540 happen to the lions club. He then refuses the bribe. And then it leads into that, uh, the lease
00:23:22.180 of the lions club in Comox is, is with the city. So then the lease was threatened at him and, uh,
00:23:30.660 was said that, yeah, well, I see that your lease might be up. And he goes, are you serious? You want
00:23:36.480 to take it this far? And he goes, well, you know, that's politics sometimes, you know, and then the
00:23:41.620 following day, the mayor calls him and is demanding a letter that he canceled the show. So she can then,
00:23:49.640 uh, wave it around being like, look, look what I did for the town. And then tries to educate him on
00:23:56.940 what standup comedy is. And then alluding that our show is, um, on par with hardcore pornography by
00:24:04.140 asking him, well, would you, would you play pornography in your venue? Uh, if, would you play
00:24:15.220 pornography in your venue? And then he responds by saying, well, if people are going to buy tickets
00:24:20.020 to this, then sure. I don't care if people are going to come down and they want to watch hardcore
00:24:24.700 pornography with one, which is essentially, you know what? It is a bit of a compliment to,
00:24:30.220 you know, put us on par with that. Personally, I think I would rather watch the hardcore pornography
00:24:37.600 than, uh, this on stage. You know what I mean? So then it got to that point and, uh, yeah, he, uh,
00:24:46.620 then was being educated on a mayor from Comox on what comedy is.
00:24:53.720 So, so just to, just, just to confirm here, your show was canceled after counselors tried to bribe
00:25:04.280 the venue host to not host you and the RCMP called to basically investigate this.
00:25:11.900 Essentially. Yeah. This is the, this is what he had told me. Um, the, the Alliance club president.
00:25:18.300 Yeah. It got to that. And this was the information that was passed along to me and you know, I,
00:25:24.140 you know, I'm still trying to confirm it. I've tried calling both of them. They, they,
00:25:28.620 I've left, uh, messages trying to get ahold of them and, uh, no one will answer the phone. So.
00:25:35.100 Well, sometimes, uh, sometimes the people that hate us the most don't accuse us of being
00:25:39.660 journalistic, but in our journalistic efforts, we will have to receive comment. We'll have to reach
00:25:45.100 out to the other side here. Uh, the city of Comox just to get their side, but this is a remarkable story.
00:25:57.340 Unbelievable. Yeah. It, uh, it's gotten to that level. You know, I'm, I'm,
00:26:03.900 I didn't know municipal politics was, uh, the arbiters of laughter. I didn't, uh, I was, uh, I had no idea.
00:26:14.220 I did not know that, uh, that a mayor like we're, we're living in the, the plot of footloose right
00:26:21.260 now. I feel like I'm Kevin Bacon just to go tell the crowd of people that I find my sister attractive.
00:26:29.180 I mean, this, this does, this does strengthen the case to leave Canada as a comic and, uh,
00:26:36.700 go somewhere else and take your act somewhere else because, uh, this is just outrageous.
00:26:42.780 The city of Comox, like you said, I mean, you guys would bring good business to that city and,
00:26:46.540 uh, maybe some much needed laughter. I can't imagine that, uh, voters of this, uh, of the city
00:26:52.540 government, uh, you know, are, are, are know what laughter is at this point. That, that, that being
00:26:58.620 said, I still, I bet you, I bet you guys would, would have a, would have a great show there.
00:27:02.780 Anyway, you should go there and just host, host something in the city, in the street,
00:27:07.100 right up front of city hall. We might have to. That would be great.
00:27:11.180 Yeah. We'll have to invite you out, Harrison. That'd be great. Well, uh, as, uh, as you were
00:27:17.500 saying earlier, uh, you've got some new tour dates coming up in Ontario, I believe. And, uh,
00:27:23.340 you've listed where Canadians can find you on social media in the, in the description of this
00:27:27.580 video, you can find the danger cats as well. Uh, with that uncle hack, thank you very much for the
00:27:33.900 interview. That was very interesting. Thank you for having me, Harrison. Yeah. I'm sure. We'll chat.
00:27:37.900 Yeah. I'm sure. We'll chat. We'll chat later soon. Sounds great.
