1:30 _"...and Gunner Oh hulloran."_ There are scores of Aussie and Irish *O'Hallorans* cursing you in silence for that horrible pronunciation of their surname. It's pronounced like "Oh-HAh-lor-en."

[@stephenwright8824]

Chances are if a KZbinr (who isn't an Aussie) thinks he should both make a video on the Emu War and narrate it, they will butcher the pronunciation of words like Emu ("ee-mooh") and O'Halloran ("Oh hi lauren."). It's a given, just like death and PragerU ads.
