  • Life of DMG – Ep 4 – Putting Challenge

    It’s another episode of Life of DMG! Moments from the life of me, David M. Green.

    In episode 4, I drag out the ole putting machine for the Hawthorn Carpet Classic.

    Enjoy.

    Kind regards,
    David M. Green

  • Crawf TV – Episode 1

    One of the people in the above photo has a legally-obtained Brownlow Medal.

    The other week I was riding a tram through Melbourne’s eastern suburbs with my sister, Hannah, when I got a call out of the blue: “Hi David M. Green, it’s Shane Crawford…”

    WHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA???

    I worked with Mr Crawf at Crocmedia’s “AFL Live” throughout 2012, providing AFL commentary to regional radio stations around Australia. Though we were never in the same room – I think I met him just the once. Usually, the commentators are at the ground calling the game, while I’m back in the relay studio in South Yarra, operating the control panel.

    He says he’s launching his new website and asked if I wanted to help out with his new web show “Crawf TV”. What are you, kidding? Absolutely!

    Crawf.com.au went online over the weekend. There’s separate sections for kids and adults, with lots of video content and interactive stuff.

    Click here to see the first episode of Crawf TV.

    I’m “the webmaster” on the show, providing the Gen Y, online, new-aged digital perspective… or something.  Hey, if I can sell a few more mugs, that’s all that matters.

    The team is planning on shooting more, so it’ll be interesting to see how it all develops. Web TV is the future, after all.

    In other news I was back panelling at Croc on the weekend. Hadn’t touched a radio control panel in 5 months.

    I still got it.

    Kind regards,
    David M. Green
    I’m as surprised as you are!

  • 31 Questions: Crowdfunding Endgame

    And now we enter endgame…

    With 4 days left of the 31 Questions crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, we’ve raised the unbelievable amount of $1,692!

    We’ve already long since surpassed our original goal of $1,000. But can we now get to $2,000? It’s up to YOU.

    Here are some tasty morsels that might convince you to contribute…

    Want to impress your friends and family with your knowledge of answers? Do it via this convenient “Moderator Mug”, while also questioning whether they too are aware of the answer that you yourself claim to know. Featuring a drinkable TV’s Anthony McCormack in his signature pointing pose, this mug will make a welcome addition to your cupboard or dishwasher. Available now for $31. All proceeds go towards production of Season 2 of 31 Questions!

    And the next 8 lucky fans who donate $10 to the show on Indiegogo won’t just receive a personally autographed headshot of benevolent host David M. Green, you’ll also receive an ORIGINAL SEASON ONE QUESTION CARD (featuring actual printed questions, hand-written notes AND last minute gags)! As used during the taping of Episodes 12 & 13, 17 May 2012. Think of how much these are going to be worth once David M. Green has moved on to better things and/or died! Strictly limited to the next 8 crowdfunders.
    We’ve now received contributions ranging from $2 to $100 from 65 individuals in 4 countries. Check out this map of their approximate locations:

    How cool is that!?!?

    We’re already using this money to pay for tapes, printing, hard drives, set materials, electronic components for the new buzzers, postage, “fabulous” prizes, parking, costumes and all matter of miscellaneous things needed to make some sort of television show.

    It’s very touching knowing there’s so much love out there for this scruffy underdog of a game show. I had an exchange of Facebook messages over the weekend from a gentleman in Chicago, who informs me his whole family has been enjoying Season 1 on YouTube.

    And what put the biggest smile on my face was finding out his 7-year-old son has been repeatedly quoting the punchline “Just my colon”, as delivered by Sophie Loughran in Episode 4, and “dying laughing”. Evidently, American children are better educated on punctuation than their Aussie counterparts. I don’t think I learned what a colon was (either definition) until I was twice that age.

    This might be good karma for all the times I myself have quoted The Blues Brothers, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, National Lampoon’s Vacation and any other motion picture set in The Windy City.

    Keep those donations coming in. They’re making a big difference. I’ll leave you with some more Season 1 outtakes, highlighting a few community TV problems. Hopefully we’ll avoid them in Season 2. But somehow, I doubt it…

    No sir, Mayor Daley doesn’t dine here any more. He’s dead sir.

    Here’s the much less anticipated follow-up episode to the follow-up episode of Life of DMG – Moments from the life of David M. Green.

    Episode 3 builds on the “swinging” theme firmly established in the second episode.

    Enjoy.

    3 and a half years, I had those shoes.

    Here’s the much anticipated follow-up episode to the debut episode of Life of DMG – Moments from the life of David M. Green.

    As you can see, by episode 2 we’re already getting into the swing of things.

    David M. Green
    This is the life.
