“It is the combination of Josh and Ollie and it means happy!”
My mind was blown! Fortunately, I had anticipated emotion and had
worn my neck brace for the wedding as a precaution. Thank goodness
I had! I could have done myself a serious injury! I told Ollie and he went
wild with glee. He had never had his bearings so completely as in that
moment. He also thought I was a genius, which I had to take undue
credit for of course, but it felt pretty good all the same. Legumasaurus
Rex grumpily muttered something about him suggesting that name back
in Chapter 17, we were all too excited to care.
We started making episodes and soon discovered that we had a
sensation on our hands, a masterpiece that was born out of my
perfect friendship with Ollie. It was also important that we maintained
our friendship, as we would be appearing together on ‘JOLLY’ as
friends, whereas in ‘Korean Englishman’ Ollie was only the
videographer. It’s like I always say, friendship is like a garden, plant
carrots and you’ll get carrots, plant potatoes and you’ll get potatoes,
plant erroneous information in a Wikipedia page and it’ll eventually make
it into a book, meaning said erroneous information on Wikipedia can
now be cited, which is how rumours start. We uploaded our first video
on ‘JOLLY’ on the 13th February 2016, the same date that Thomas
Edison had observed Thermionic emission some many years earlier,
and boy did we emit something great! We filmed it without having a
concrete plan. In fact we hadn’t really thought about concrete at all.
We talked about what the channel was going to be about, even though
we weren’t quite sure. I think our charm and charisma were a big part
of the appeal, so we dialed those up a notch. We had also really
nailed the exactly right amount of eyebrow motion for emphasis, not
so much that viewers got sea sick, but not so little that we looked like
Legumasaurus Rex, who has no eyebrows and it’s very disconcerting.
