If you only watch C31 Melbourne & Geelong when 31 Questions is on, you wouldn’t realise they actually run our promo constantly for the other 23 and a half hours of the day.
Lucky it’s fantastic.
Kind regards,

Pro-promo.
31 Questions S2E02 aired on C31 Melbourne & Geelong on Saturday 3 August 2013. Could we have conjured a more “game showy” picture than the one in the above YouTube preview image?
If so, I’d like to see it.
Anthony McCormack did a sensational job editing/booty-shaking this one. And I love his Don Bradman gag. Sequentially, this was actually the third episode we shot for this season, and from memory there were quite a lot of problems that night. So it’s good to see it wasn’t a complete write-off (like the first two!).
Other 31Q things…
Thursday evening marked my first time on Melbourne radio station 3AW. I had a chat with Philip Brady, Simon Owens and John Blackman about the show (mainly mine, not so much theirs). Both John and Simon have made appearances on 31 Questions. Their episodes are coming up in the next few weeks.
Amazingly in this media-saturated modern world of ours, the 3AW webcam video of my interview was on YouTube within minutes. Saves me uploading the audio myself. Check it out (stay watching right til the end to see some innovative signaling from the panel operator):
Here’s an interesting bit of news. I was about to reveal it on 3AW before getting sidetracked, but in our upcoming fifth episode – which was actually the sixth one we taped and will air in Melbourne on August 24 – not only is that the episode John Blackman makes an appearance, but the dude contestant that week is Rohan Zorz, who just Monday entered the Big Brother house as a “latecomer” contestant on Channel Nine!?!
I find this all very bizarre. Usually Big Brother contestants appear on game shows AFTER they’re kicked out of the house.
Read Rohan’s profile on the Big Brother website (if you dare visit a reality television website).
Unfortunately, a cursory glance at the #BBAU tweets shows a general hatred of Rohan. Exactly how this legion of teenage girls with anti-Rohan agendas will affect 31 Questions is yet to be fully understood.
And lastly, due to repeated requests for fabulous 31 Questions merchandise, I’ve set up an online store on Big Cartel. Check out our NEW 31 Questions 31-Stop Shop!
At the moment, we’ve got the classic DMG mug for sale for the reduced price of $20. We’re working on some new designs, so keep checking to see what we’ve got in stock. All proceeds will go towards the future of 31 Questions (there’s already been talk of a third season 😉 ).
See you Saturday for Ep 3.
Kind regards,

Still not going to watch Big Brother.
There it is! Fresh from the C31 Melbourne & Geelong sliver of the television spectrum, 31 Questions Season 2, Episode 1 for your YouTubing pleasure.
Or if you’d prefer, you can always wait until it airs in Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide or New Zealand. Up to you. Next city to get the 31 Questions televisual treatment is Perth on WTV this Sunday 11.30AM.
Interesting side note, this is the difference between a guy who wears a question mark jacket, and a guy who wears a question mark jacket ON TELEVISION:
Tout that!
Special thanks also to our official sponsor for Season 2, Mind Games: purveyors of fine puzzles and board games.
And get a load of this…
As a special offer for 31 Questions fans, if you go into any of the Mind Games stores in Victoria (and hey why not, try this at their Queensland stores too), if you mention 31 Questions and can correctly answer a question from this week’s show, they’ll give you 20 PER CENT OFF your purchase! HOW FREAKING AMAZING IS THAT!?!
How great is saving money?
No, that’s not one of the questions.
Kind regards,
David M. Green
Ironically, there’s a Season 1 gag about “mind games”, which I wrote and recorded before I was aware there was an actual store already called “Mind Games”.
It’s here! It’s on! It’s tonight!
See what the 11 months of hard work was all about as 31 Questions Season 2 has its exclusive world premier 8.30PM tonight on C31 Melbourne & Geelong!
Most TVs in the Melbourne and Geelong area should be able to pick it up on digital channel 44. But if you live in a valley or you’re some other place, keep checking YouTube because we’ll stick it up there soon after it airs in Melbourne.
To quote Richard Ayoade: This will be the most significant televisual event since Quantum Leap. And I do not say that lightly.
Kind regards,

11 months. Jesus.
It’s taken 16 months but FINALLY, we have a new episode of The Good Show, my sketch comedy podcast with TV’s Anthony McCormack.
They say 9 out of 10 podcasts fail within their first 5 episodes. Don’t ask me who said that. I don’t know. Actually, I suppose I said that. Yeah, you can just quote me.
Although, I’d like to see the stats on how many podcasts are put on hold due to no access to a studio AND because the hosts are too busy making TWO seasons of a TV show… Though I suspect the answer is The Good Show.
Episode 3 can be acquired via this direct link, or on the iTune, or through this handy player thing:

Among sketches about cheeseburgers, tractors and expensive hookers, Anthony and I also discuss our upcoming second season of 31 Questions – the TV game show of that name.
In fact, the Season 2 PREMIER EPISODE is on Channel 31 Melbourne & Geelong this Saturday 27 July 8.30PM! That’s a convenient 90 minutes earlier than last year’s time slot.
At this time I can also tell you 31 Questions will air in Perth on WTV at the dangerously family-friendly time of Sundays 11.30AM from August 4, with a repeat Mondays 3.30PM from August 5. We’re apparently going for the early crowd over in WA.
Across the Tasman Sea, catch 31 Questions in New Zealand on Face Television Wednesdays 9.30PM from August 14. And if you hop a plane to Sydney, you can watch it again on TVS Thursdays 9.30PM from August 15.
Still waiting to get our time slots from 44 Adelaide and 31 Digital Brisbane. There may also be some extra repeat time slots, but I can assure you once I get them, I’ll keep them secret and refuse to give them to you.
And did I mention we were on the TV Tonight website?
Just ignore the bit where he lapses back into the press release.
😀
