Thank God…..

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

Because he works on my show you know, as we made it into the top 100 on the iTunes podcast lists! Break out the bubbly, wax off your pubes as there is a revolution in town etc.

Now for some honesty…

1 - We were only in the top 100 for a day, but that isn’t gonna stop me bragging about it.

2 - I didn’t notice it - It was Dr Cockney who saw it as he is OBSESSED with the chart and his position in it and looks at it almost as many times a day as he examines his shushma.

3 - I like the Mika album

So in the style of an oscar acceptance speech (although a TV quick award would be enough for me) I would like to thank James for all his hard work and fashion advice, God for his fantastic cameos although we may have to let him go as his diva demands are getting out of control (who the hell does s/he think s/he is?) and we have some other up and coming deities who would love the exposure and also my hairdresser for giving me such a ridiculous haircut that even german people have laughed at me.

So tell your friends to down load the latest 11th - I’ve tasted the milk, honey and drugs of the promised land and I want it back again. iTunes will be mine!

Eleven In HD

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

Well this is a technical post not a highbrow philosophowhatical (is that how you spell it?)one that OJ is akin to writing on his own blog..Yes as well as writing on here he does also write on his blog..why because he’s special and has two blogs…the show one and his own (which isn’t bad by the way)..

Anyhow that’s not what this post was about..its about Editing in Final Cut Pro in HDV..it’s a massively slow process..any effects and well you’ve got time to go Cornwall have a quick surf and still get back in time to watch the last ten minutes of rendering..

Why are we editing in HDV (it is only an online show after all) because Itunes and various other outlets are screaming for HD content.. We’ve done three shows so far in HD , its taken literally three times as long to edit each..and the total views and downloads for our HD shows has been…wait for it…18 people..Great, super, er no..so looking at ditching the HD version due to the time involved..

So why am I writing here..in case anyone who may stumble upon this little blog might know a really good way to edit in HD in Final Cut Pro, quickly!!..we’ve got some pretty fast machines all specked out ..so not sure if its a hardware issue why they are so slow..

I know this may sound like a lazy man’s way to get technical help..and there are quite a few articles on the net on the subject ..but most are confusing go off on loads of tangents etc etc..

So anyone with some quick fire advice please do drop us a comment or line..

Anyhow back to editing the next show which is on Landboarding, yup OJ got to fly some power kites (like the Ozone Frenzy) in Richmond Park …don’t expect big air and gnarly tricks though..the wind was light and OJ is Big..but he did face plant it!

OJ Talks Bollocks

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

As they say in the porno movies  “It’s being a long time coming..”

It’s here, OJ meets the superhero of our times Mr Testicles a man who can talk more bollocks than him.

This show is all about male testicular cancer..a killer subject so watch it..

Bollocks!!

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Yes Oj often does talk it! But this time he’s bitten off more than he can chew, he actually meets a man (or superhero if you like) who can talk more bollocks than him. It’s the famous hero of our times Mr Testicles..

It’s a serious subject folks , Mr testicles is here to save the world from male testicular cancer!!

Oh and OJ was feeling a bit ill that day … hence why he looks a wee bit pasty!!

She smashed his face in

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Before filming OJ thought he was tough enough to take any punch Cathy could throw at him. Oh yeah? How wrong was he? Cathy is a pro boxer and OJ is a lay-about, fat-git tv presenter. Needless to say she smashed his pretty tv face in.

The Week started today

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Its been a hectic couple of weeks and we haven’t done too much filming of late. I was away snowboarding and then have been on catch up ever since..amazing how one week off can make such a difference..This week am busy shooting auditions for a new celebrity magazine show and since OJ  isn’t that hot on what makes Britney tick or probably doesn’t care for that matter, we are having to look elsewhere for a presenter. BTW If any of you know any upcoming presenters who might be suitable, do drop a comment with their details..

Still trying to sort out the next shoot.. we were going to be at a  soap box derby but I fear we are all out of time on that one..so on the dog and bone trying to sort out the next shoot.Mr testicles is out this Thursday  all about male testicular cance, so for the guys its a must for health’s sake and for the girls well if you like a man with big bollocks then you can’t beat this guy. ..

The 12th Commandment - Thou must not take a holiday

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Yes I admit it I did take a holiday last week! In todays world that is tantamount to stealing from your employer..The shame, the slackness, the cheek, how could you?…OJ’s dismay at my short break only hits home that in todays fast living 24/7 work world  holidays are a no go , especially if you work for a US company…why? because the Americans only get half or so statutory holiday that we get..so in a word they are jealous much like OJ really..which I find amusing…I go off for one little week to go stand on a wooden plank at the top of a mountain and slide down it..a bit of R n R and he is chomping at the bit..

See I did tell you early on, that the Talent thing has really hit home with him..if its not the taxis to work, the no more than 3 hours in the sun clause or a bowl of porridge first thing its that no one should have more fun than him..every week we have an OJ Big Day out..work to the rest of us but to him its, indoor skydiving, landboarding, surfing, boxing, indy car racing, paintballing…you get the idea I run around and film him and he has all the fun… not that I’m bitter…but me going off snowboarding well he almost choked on his Maltesers..

Back to business and the Mr Testicles show will be up soon . Its all about male testicular cancer (the testes are your balls)..a serious subject and one that requires regular playing with your nuts to make sure your ok..so all in all finally a check up that is fun, especially if you can get your girlfriend to do it..

Oj Gets smacked about by a little girl..

Monday, March 10th, 2008

You may or may have not heard but the Big man Himself ‘Oj the Bruiser Borg’ has recently taken up boxing. Yup for the past few months the Fast footed Maltese Butterfly has been down at Gymbox in Holborn training hard and mastering his jab n hook technique. So we recently sent him to go meet and interview Cathy “the Bitch” Brown at her health club The Third Space.

After some friendly chat he quickly learns that she isn’t the u.k’s first female boxing champion for nothing. Can he squeeze in an interview before we have to call an Ambulance? heres the show

There (sn)ow Jimmy

Well my intrepid (and ill I thought) director and landlord is off this week on some mountain somewhere having a jolly old time so I find my self with nowt to do but look for more shoots for next week. I always feel slightly sad when the 11th isn’t in full throttle. Or maybe I just miss james. Probably the former I guess.

One of the next shows we’ve got coming up is gonna feature Cathy “The Bitch” Brown and is all about boxing, and female boxers at that. Cathy was one of the first female pro’s this country had and I think was the first title holder we have produced from the less hairy arsed (apart from Muhammed Ali’s daughter - Laila she’s a complete beast, and may well actually be his son, or brother.) part of the population. Well after sparring with her I decided that I would do a bit more my self today down at my gym. I now feel that even lifting my fingers up to type is too much effort. I got Battered! What was possibly worse though was that on leaving the changing rooms, and I’m a mess at this point….. red eyes from my contacts popping out, showered but still looking sweaty and generally looking like there is something wrong with me, I tried to squeeze past a fellow gym bod. Problem as that I had my big bagon my shoulder, the gap wasn’t too big nd he was naked. Had I been more in control of my faculties then I would have waited, but in my bashed about state I ended up trying to squezze by, my left hand got trapped between my bag (not ball bag by the way) and HIS ASS! arggggggghhhhhhhhh. Worse was that he’d either just got out the shower or he was sweaty, and hairy!

BLEACH BLEACH BLEACH.

Remind me of the scene in Ace Venture when he finds out that Eindhorn is Finkle, and Finkle is a [Insert what here]

To sum up, there is no shoot this week, I got beat up at boxing, James is snowboarding (he may even be trying snow kiting so we probably won’t be seeing him again as he gets dragged over a precipice - if that happens now I’m gonna feel so bad!) and I need to amputate my left mitt. I think it smells but I might just be having a touch of the Lady MacBeths. ‘d rather be feeling blood on it.

The earth moved for ME!

Earthquake! Now I’m sure the blog-o-sphere is a buzz with the shaking that England did the other night….. mainly because that sort of stuff just does’t happen in this country. And even when it does happen they are so pathetic its unreal. Earthquake hits San Francsico skyscrapers fall down. Earthquake hits Tokyo massive casualties. Earthquake hits England JJB can’t open till one (I’d like to thank Mr A. Greenbank for that lttle gag there)

I was awake at the time it hit us and I felt everything wobbling. first I thought it was the guy who lives downstars kicking the front door in, then I thought it was a ghost (seriously) then I realised whet it was (while still having the creeping dread that it may be some sort of poultergoose style action) It wasn’t terribly big by all accounts (story of my life) measuring only 5.2 on the Rickman Scale. If you’ve seen Die Hard you’ll know that he can get a lot tougher than that (until you throw him off building) Do i guess I better leave this blog and go and rebuild the damage that was done to James’s flat by the “Earthquake” or it cold have just been a party.
