Fat Nikki Food Tours – Uncovering Oklahoma Weekly Episode 1

I am happy to publish the first episode of the Uncovering Oklahoma Weekly Show with special guest Paulette Nicole of Fat Nikki Food Tours!

In this episode we talk about Paulette’s food tour company and the food of Oklahoma City’s Plaza District. Plus we bring out “Fat Nikki” and “Lazy James” to do a tour of microwave cooking and sample some treats from Cookies-N-Cards in Norman.

I had a blast filming this episode and Paulette was a fantabulous guest! While I had fun making it, I have taken notes to improve things in the future. Hey, you never know how things are going to turn out until you try! 😉

When I laid out all of the footage for editing, this episode was a 34 minute wide shot in 4K. I changed the project to 720p play with the image and made it more visually interesting, cut the length down to 24 minutes, and overall it worked out rather well.

Want the recipes we used? Here’s the Mason Jar Pancakes and the Microwave French Toast.

I’m excited about this project. Doing a regular show is what I want to do in life. I hope you enjoy this weekly show and that you stay tuned!

John, Paulette, and Dennis getting ready to film
Tonight I just filmed the first episode for the new Uncovering Oklahoma Weekly show! I’m describing the show as a mix of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Comedy Bang Bang as a local YouTube show. It’s going to be a fun show.

Joining me was my musical sidekick, John McGuru, and the show’s guest, Paulette of Fat Nikki Food Tours. The Fat Nikki Food Tours is a food tour company in Oklahoma City where people get to tour a few restaurants’ food. Playing with the theme of tours and alter egos, we did a “tour” of microwave cooking. We had a fantabulous time.

Throughout the evening, Paulette did recorded behind the scenes live on Periscope. If you missed it, here’s the first video on set with us, hyping up the episode. In this video we’ve just finished the interview segment. Finally, after we finished, we did this final video.

Done filming with John, Paulette, and Dennis!

I can’t wait to show you the episode! Uncovering Oklahoma Weekly will premiere in November! Stay tuned!

Important Meeting

Important Meeting
An important meeting is being held to discuss the future, with the sharing of conflicting ideas, action plans, hopelessness, and the possibility of a brighter life.

Deeper Pretentious Artistic Meaning:
The Adventurer wants to go, go, go! There are places to explore! People to meet! Things to uncover! Adventure and a better life is out there! We just got to go! It will find us or we will find it! Let’s go!

The Writer wants to plan grand stories. There is a whole universe of characters, places, and stories that needs to be shared! The 16th Phoenix Universe is so beautiful!

The Professional wants to accomplish goals and achieve dreams. Synergy, networking, professionalism, and making things will (somehow) make us happy! There are question marks in his outline and seeks advice to be better. Kaizen – keep improving!

The Day-Jober wants the feeling of hopelessness and being trapped to vanish. However, he knows he is the only stable one making any income for the group. He’s exhausted. He feels defeated, but sits with the group in hopes of “Adventure” and “Telling Stories” and “Great Accomplishments.”

Behind the Photo:
This is my first Self-Shot Series I’ve done with my Panasonic GH4 camera and it’s been a couple years since I made one of these. One of the cool things I was able to do with my newer camera was I was able to use my iPhone to control it and get into place in a more natural pose without having to run from pressing the timer button. Out of the self-shot series thus far, this one is the more emotional photos for me as it does convey my internal struggles of creativity and success.

With the rain, it looks like this statue is crying outside the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art in Norman, Oklahoma.

This photo was one of those once in a lifetime opportunities. This skyline is actually on the east, opposite of the sunset on the west.
