Hey brahs & bras!

Here's what's on tap for OSW this month:

WrestleMania Week! Finally back in Ireland! We had an incredible time, but I'm also so happy to greeted by overcast, windy Dublin :D We recorded HoF, NXT, WrestleMania and RAW reviews from our hotel room, which I'll clean up and send to the podcast feed, starting in the next couple of days! Might take a week or so to get everything sorted. Edit: While editing these I'm gonna get the podcast feed up to date; including Golden Noggers, Samurai Cop etc!

OSW Live Show! I talked about this with the guys, seeing as people literally paid for us to be there, we'll release the live show to everyone here as a NoggerU exclusive! We recorded the audio and the promoters Gimmick Tree (headed by Charlie & Brad) recorded video footage -- it'll take a bit of time sorting it out but I'm hoping to have the video out by the end of April.

Super OSW 64: I haven't gotten the next air date yet but I wanna get Level 12 out sometime this month! I've already started lining up music for it, you can request a track here: http://oswreview.com/super-osw-64-level-11/ 

Rewards: Final Bars to be sent out, and then after that I'll start work sending out the NoggerU cards!

Next OSW episode: Hope you enjoyed our Destination X episode! We had SO much fun! Recording/production of Lockdown 2007 starts in May! Wanna get the above done and dusted before that!

And finally, on a personal note:

2016 was a major milestone change in my life, probably since getting into Medicine in 2002 (which I now regret - there are far easier ways to make more money with less stress, and I picked up a ton of bad life-habits). I went from going down a career path I never really wanted, to working my dream job doing OSW! I've been SO much happier since NoggerU opened, I literally walk with a straighter back ('cause you guys have my back :) but I also fall into the same stressful patterns, all self-imposed. OSW fans are so patient, kind and supportive, I feel like I owe you a debt I can never repay. I find myself constantly behind time, stressed, and doing things last minute, and it's unsustainable. I gotta find a better structure to balance the professional, personal and health parts of my life (which in turn makes for a better show!). Anyway where I'm going with this rambling is that there'll be some big positive changes behind the scenes, which'll mean a less-stressed Jay and more content overall. I'll be working on myself as well as OSW, to hopefully drop the dizzying highs and terrifying lows for the creamy middles! I can't note just how big my life has changed in the last 10 months but how I need it to change more. I'll keep doing OSW as long as you guys will watch it! If you've any questions I'll answer 'em in the comments :)

So to summarise: WM weekend podcasts soon, Bars, VGM show, then OSW Live vid. Keep on rockin’ in the free world! *brings hand up to salute America!*

Take as much time as you need and welcome home!

Carl Sciacchitano

Glad to hear you guys had an awesome time in the states! Looking forward to the live show!

Dylan White

Will you do the Mania weekend stuff as videos (even with just a static OSW logo as the image) or keep them purely on podcast services? And cheers Jay, we're all PROUD to have even 1/100th the same positive impact on your life as you've had on ours

Hill

Brah! You work so hard don't stress yourself. No matter how long an episode takes to come out its always worth the wait and then some! But hey man if you need the extra hands have you thought about hiring on some interns or part time editors just to take the load off?

Ry Mo

Smells like youre hiring more hands to help?

Ramo Durakovic

So glad to hear you're happier. Will support you as long as I am able.

Sean Raftery

This is all great news. Osw is the best thing I ever randomly found on the internet and the only thing I've ever donated to. Your wrestlemania weekend looked like the stuff dreams were made of. The photo of ooc Virgil and a tenner I mean come on. Love the show keep up the good. A winner is you!

James Erwin

You're the fucking best Jay, take a boo. Delighted to support you and the Steves and my only request is you relax and enjoy it. If you want to take an extra week on an edit, take that week. We're not going anywhere and I'm certain nobody feels they're not getting their money's worth!

ThatIsAnAndroid

Glad you had such a great time can't wait for all those reviews. Your stuff is always worth the wait so take it easy dude and keep up the good work.

Savan DePaul

Keep up the great work Jay, pumped to hear WM/HoF/NXT reviews!

Scott Elizabeth Baird

It really changes your life, doesn't it? Three years ago I was working as a cleaner in an office, where I emptied other people's bins and cleaned their toilets. One day, I decided to start submitting pitches and articles to various websites and it totally changed my life. Now I get paid a lot of money to write about things like video games and the X-Men, and it has totally changed how I see myself. Thanks to the people on the Internet, I became the person I always wanted to be. Every day I wake up and thank Al Gore for inventing the Internet. Whatever success you guys have now (and in the future), it all stems from the fact that you earned it.

Beau Wyatt

I completely know how you feel! I dropped out of school to become a tradie.. did that for nearly 10 years before waking up to myself and changing my career path. Now completing a Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Laws degree at one of the biggest Universities in the country. while I can't speak for every member of Nogger U, I can speak for myself when I say I watched your reviews on Youtube for an incredible amount of time (and watched them OVER and OVER again) and always wanted to contribute to the show in some way. When I came across this Pateron I was more than happy to give what little I could to OSW. Personally, while I am constantly waiting like a junkie for his next fix for the next OSW Review to come out I also don't want you to feel any pressure about it. You produce amazing content that takes a lot of work and as such I am totally fine with you taking as long as you feel you need to produce these videos. I am pretty confident that everyone I've encountered in this community feels pretty much the same way as I do. and remember, A winner is you.

Mark Paton

Won't bog you down with the mushy stuff, but just want to reiterate what's already been said. Your work is fantastic - and I personally really enjoy and appreciate it. I'm in the Forces and away for the rest of 2017 - I always look forward to when your episodes drop to keep me sane and very amused. Keep it up!!

Chris Burkitt

I'm glad you and the Steve's had an awesome time in Orlando this week, keep up the amazing work Jay!

Lucas Irvine

Glad to hear brah, as happy as you think we make you I can guarantee you guys make us a hundred times happier with all the amazing content you deliver. PS do you know mad max?

Tony Johnson

Thanks for this Jay. Hope you guys had fun, and thanks for all that you do.

Ross Vincent

That's great to hear, Jay! It's nice to know that my tiny, tiny contribution to the show is part of such a positive change.

Chris Dykeman

First off, all I could think after every show this weekend was "I really hope the boys release a Mania review or something". Hearing that we're getting that plus NXT AND RAW is just unbelievable. You're the best boy of all, Jay. Secondly, Jay, thank you so much for what you do, and what V1 and OOC do as well through OSW. I will always be excited for a new show, but I know what it's like to put pressure on yourself to the extent you're feeling. Take all the time you need. We don't mind ;)

Mr. Fretz

Thank YOU again Jay! Your tireless work to entertain us is always appreciated. On a personal note, podcasts like yours and many others helped bring me through a shitty time just before Xmas where I lost a dear friend to a car accident. I thank you all immensely for that. Seeing even an update fills me with glee and anticipation. I'm like a 32 year old kid in a candy store deciding "What Bar" I want. Cheers lads I raise my beer to you!

Larry DuPreez III

You guys put together an extremely entertaining show, so you definitely deserved the trip!

General Andy Bohan of the Cheesebag army

Genuinely. Reading this made me really happy to be a supporter. I love the content. But just knowing that tenner a month lets you chase what you love doing and makes you happier. The content is great but that's the best bonus of all. Cheers for all the funny.

Grant Durfee

Glad you guys had fun. I'm glad I some how clumsily stumbled upon one of your reviews a couple years ago and got hooked. Every new review brings so much entertainment. I'm very happy to support you guys and really appreciate all the hard work you guys do to bring us all this wonderful entertainment(and good natured casual racism)

Ciarán McFarlane

Happy days are here again for Jay. Nice to hear, hate for you to get burnt out and start seeing this as a chore instead of something that's fun.

Nikita Spiridonov

Real question is, why do you guys have exact same expressions in all the photos and why Steve looks like he's trying not to show how much he hates everyone

Henrik G. F. Mikkelsen

Happy to be a backer, but would be even happier, if some of the donations went to an updated haircut for Jay. 😉😎Hehe. Other than that : happy to contribute, love all your content and WHERE IS MY MOTORBOAT?? 😂😂☺️👍🏻👍🏻two gorilla thumbs up.

Andrew

Honestly you can put stuff out a bit slower and I don't think we'd mind. You do crazy hours in the editing (with incredibly high quality might i add). If it's a choice between waiting a few extra weeks for episodes or you getting burnt out in a year because you've been killing yourself trying to keep the schedule, i know which i'd choose.

Stephen Wilson

Thank you for doing what you do Jay. Everyone in the OSW Noggerverse is 100% behind you.. (Then, Now, Forever)

Keifer saunders

Jay hunter ya fucking animal ya.....one of the best things to happen to myself was acadentily stumbling on the Rimble 90 3/4 years ago on YouTube.....I'm sure I'm not the only nogger u enrolled member that was touched by what you just posted, in a good way not a jerry the king Lawler way.....a winner is you sir.

Brady Rak

What was your favorite match all weekend?

Brady Rak

Long time fan btw. Love the show.

Gary Oliver

Jay, if you ever need help with any audio to help with the stress, I have experience editing audio for podcasts. I won't ask for anything at all, as it's a passion of mine, and you guys are awesome, especially for helping me through some dark times in my life with you guys being you.

MoodyMoon

Jay, in all those pictures you sent from your time in the US, you ALWAYS look like you can't just believe that all this crazy stuff is happening to you. You look so goddamn happy! And I'm happy for you guys, too! Looking forward to the next live chat session ;)

Cloister56

Hey Jay, I'm glad OSW is giving something back to you as you are putting so much in for us. It's a nice symbiotic circle of life :) I know how you feel about medicine. I got in and then wasn't sure it was for me. I never enjoyed the work at Uni and then felt constantly stressed when I started working. For me it was that expectation and then later the time and financial commitment that made me felt I couldn't change. I did get lucky as I found a speciality I enjoy and life is better. I know of others who became incredibly stressed in areas like GP and have burned out in their 30's. 2 of my friends have changed specialities partly due to knowing that they can't continue for 30+ years. So I hope this continues to work out well and it continues to be as much for for you as it is for us.

Al

You shoulda taken the moneyyy! Lol. So you met DDP and decided to do the yoga..BANG! All joking aside Jay like many of the nogger universe I messaged you a couple of years ago to say thanks for OSW as it helped me through tough times. It still does. Do what you need to do and well done on bringing V1 over to the mark-side lol

Jordan Armstrong

Health is more important than vids, Jay. Have you looked into hiring an assistant editor to ease the stress? You could probably have a mule do a few of your cleaning passes for you and save 10+ hours per vid.

Bradley Ford

Nothing beats a stroll in cattle country! Just signed up and wanted to use the opportunity to say a massive thankyou for all the hard work you put into this Jay! And of course to the lads aswell! OSW is my favourite form of entertainment TV, Film, Podcast, Game or other, and the fact that you can make your passion your work and keep *Vince 2001 voice* "Putting smiles on people faces dammit!" Is just awesome. I cannot put into words how much i appreciate OSW, thanks for the great times and here's to many more!

Michael Massey

Just gave! Cant wait for my What Bar?! Take care of yourself, Jay! We fookin' love ya!

OSWreview

Thank you so much guys. You're the bees knees! Starting work on audio today, will make a new post when things are moving along :)

Beau Wyatt

I was thinking (and yes, it did hurt) you know what would be a good story line.. The evolution of, the genesis of the time-line of the transformation of The man they call Sting Cause you'd get in the early match with him v flair in 91(or 89.. whatever one he got the title in).. then get NWO forming and him not wrestling for a year.. then him in TNA wearing a sting mask to sucker RVD with a chair and finally end his amazing career by jobbing to HHH
