If someone were to prank you with a Cameo of the last person you'd want one from, who works that be? - Reagen Mar 12, 11:49 15
- I would also not enjoy one from that person. :) -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 12, 11:58

  - ~smile more~ -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 12, 11:57
- I saw that Tomi Lahren was on there. I probably couldn't even hate watch that. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 12, 11:52 1
  - This is probably my answer. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 12, 11:59
- Piers Morgan -- nm - Andie Mar 12, 11:52
- Tom Brady - Spawn Mar 12, 11:51
- Curt Schilling - Will Hunting Mar 12, 11:50
- Honestly, nobody. It wouldn't bug me. More than anything, I'd feel bad that somebody wasted money on it. -- nm - David Mar 12, 11:50 3
  - *sends you Kevin Sorbo* -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 11:52 2
    - *sends David a Kylie Minogue cameo* -- nm - ty97 Mar 12, 11:54 1

    - I did too before I put that out into the world. - spamlet Mar 12, 11:56
is Hyperion by Dan Simmons a good read? -- nm - Beaker Mar 12, 11:46 3
- If you enjoy sci-fi at all, I'd highly recommend. -- nm - Baron on the Cairn Mar 12, 11:49
- yes (Endymion the 3rd in the series gets a bit weird though) -- nm* - decline Mar 12, 11:49 1
  - In retrospect, I'm a little surprised I only gave it 4/5 on Goodreads. Must've been 4.5. -- nm - Baron on the Cairn Mar 12, 11:56
I just looked at Cameo. They have The Most Interesting Man in the World. - Spawn Mar 12, 11:44 2
- do they have my 3 favourite living people? - mud Mar 12, 11:52 1

I found the Roku remote I lost! - David Mar 12, 11:33 4

  - Jack-Jack loves to on ours, too. I guess it's warm? -- nm - David Mar 12, 11:36 2
    - He's just trying to get to Sling for whatever it is he wants to watch on Sling! - Dark Callisto Mar 12, 11:39 1
      - He's really into the What Is David Doing Now? channel -- nm - Baron on the Cairn Mar 12, 11:58
More from the COVID bill: Discharged student loans not included in gross income for tax purposes, through 2025. -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 12, 11:26
mojo, here's a sunrise chart for the very west of China -- (link) - Reagen Mar 12, 11:21 1
- that's just nuts -- nm - prayformojo Mar 12, 12:00
Most international flying is dead and business travel too, so airlines are trying all kinds of routes: Like a bevy of Delta flights to Alaska - ty97 Mar 12, 11:14
If you're into "No Such Thing As A Fish," They're doing a 20 hour live show on YouTube for charity. NMBL - howie Mar 12, 11:13 [youtube]

- *twitch* -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 11:07
I too liked the briefings Tim, they provided some sense of normalcy at the time - ty97 Mar 12, 11:00
Listenership for SITV? decline is not wrong. - Mop Mar 12, 10:56 24
- That's too bad - the times I've listened, it's felt like a well-run show with potential for a wide audience. Maybe live twitch/YT events might help? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 12, 11:23 8
  - There could be a plan going into those. I've been reading stuff like this lately and find the topic fascinating -- (edited) - con_carne Mar 12, 11:32 2
    - This one is a fun read -- (link) - con_carne Mar 12, 11:35 1
      - And I'm gonna be starting this one soon (I think it's free on Audible) -- (link) - con_carne Mar 12, 11:37
  - I've considered using "live recordings" as a Patreon perk but... "live" SITV is very unpolished (and someone is a potty mouth!) -- nm - Mop Mar 12, 11:31 4
    - Who the fuck are you talking about? -- nm - David Mar 12, 11:35 3
      - Now that’s a fucking bad thing?! -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 12, 11:46 2
        
        Right? That's just the XBox Live talking! -- nm - David Mar 12, 11:50 1
        
        My best insult was still telling Crash Davis he was the ARod of Halo MVP’s after winning the award on a losing team. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 12, 11:52
- I imagine it’s a lot like back when I ran pixiesticks. At first, it was just a spin off of my movie review site. But eventually the audience... - IAmQale Mar 12, 11:17 3
  - No, Mop. -- nm - Reagen Mar 12, 11:17 2
    - So I can’t be a special guest talking about TLA’s streaming service? -- nm - IAmQale Mar 12, 11:22
    - *snork* -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 11:20
- Maybe bery could do a streaming board. -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 11:02 2
  - I believe that's illegal now -- nm - con_carne Mar 12, 11:04 1
    - I can start up new boards. I have a server for that called Medusa. - Beryllium Mar 12, 11:22
- Do you get data on how many listens the podcast gets per app (Patreon, Spotify, Apple podcasts, etc...)? -- nm - Inigo Mar 12, 11:00 7
  - Each platform affords you their own analytics. So, for instance, I can login to the Apple Podcasts dashboard and see the data. - Mop Mar 12, 11:12 3
    - Apple here. -- nm - Remlik Mar 12, 11:39
    - I listen via Apple Podcasts. -- nm - IAmQale Mar 12, 11:17
    - Inquiry: Number of listeners not wearing pants? -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 11:14
  - Side question: Should I listen through my app or is it okay that I listen on the Patreon page? - Krusty Mar 12, 11:02 2
    - Right. What David said. Do what works for you. If you're signed up through Patreon and get the episodes early, then you should benefit from that. -- nm - Mop Mar 12, 11:13
    - Do whatever you want. The most important thing for us is that we're doing a good podcast. The other stuff will (or won't) work itself out. - David, Horny New Guy Mar 12, 11:04
I never *really* knew about Piers Morgan until this week. WM's Top Ten Times Piers Morgan Went Too Far (list inside) - con_carne Mar 12, 10:51 [youtube] 10
- Listen to James Acaster -- (link) - Dano Mar 12, 11:02 [youtube] 2
  - "I appreciate the sentiment" -- nm - Reagen Mar 12, 11:12
  - I always do. -- nm - Mop Mar 12, 11:11
- I hope this is really the end of him as any kind of mainstream personality. -- nm - Mop Mar 12, 10:57 3
  - he's like a jellyfish. He can regrow from a single cell. -- nm - Reagen Mar 12, 11:24
  - But like, if this is the nature of his occupation, he's just gonna get replaced by the next one. Right? -- nm - con_carne Mar 12, 11:00
  - The fact that the phone hacking didn't end him is amazing (and appalling.) -- nm - Andie Mar 12, 10:59
- He was a CNN host for a while. It went about like you'd expect. -- nm - David, Horny New Guy Mar 12, 10:54 1
  - I was like "Wait, there's a *Top Ten*??" and then "Oh, this is actually his job." -- nm - con_carne Mar 12, 10:56
- AND he's an Arsenal fan. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 12, 10:52
Wow. Minneapolis City Council has just unanimously voted to settle with the estate of George Floyd for $27 million. -- nm - decline Mar 12, 10:49 2
- They should pay and I’m glad they did -- nm - Pippy Mar 12, 11:03
- nice -- nm - mud Mar 12, 10:51
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’: Paramount+ Series Adds Five To Cast As Production Begins -- (link) - Remlik Mar 12, 10:47
Kansas is out of the Big 12 tournament after one of its players tested positive for COVID-19 -- nm - decline Mar 12, 10:47 8
- Someone on the team is probably very popular right now. -- nm - Mop Mar 12, 11:45
- Odd this is now happening so much. You’d think now is when these guys would be locked down tight. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 12, 10:52 3
  - Golden State just suspended the guy who went #2 in the draft over it. 20-year-olds think it's over and are acting like that. - David, Horny New Guy Mar 12, 10:55 2
    - Though suspension is kind of overselling it? He didn't start for missing tests over the All Star break but played in the 4th quarter -- nm - JD Mar 12, 11:10
    - Party like it is 2021! -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 10:58
- there are going to be all of three games in the NCAA tournament. One of Tim's "not-even-a-real-State" teams is gonna end up winning the whole thing -- nm - prayformojo Mar 12, 10:48 2
  - I think they should only invite Army, The Citadel, St Francis (BK), and William & Mary -- nm - Dano Mar 12, 10:50 1
    - 👍👍👍 -- nm - prayformojo Mar 12, 10:51
Inspired by B2, and apologies if it's a repeat. Have you ever purchased a Cameo for someone and if so, who? Who would you want as a Cameo? -- nm - MDH Mar 12, 10:39 62
- I'm getting one for you by H from Steps -- nm - JD Mar 12, 11:40
- Does anyone have any Cameo Promo Codes? -- nm - JaxSean Mar 12, 11:29
- I have thought about Sean Astin for Stephie, my BFF, but I haven’t yet. I think Sammy Guevara would be fun... - IAmQale Mar 12, 11:19
- I would get Kelly one from Jason Varitek but I’m not sure at his age, he could figure out the technology. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 12, 10:53 1
  - Ask for Damon to do one when he's got a blood/alcohol of 0.3. It sounds *hysterical*! - David, Horny New Guy Mar 12, 11:06
- I received one from 311's lead singer and I have to say, it's much cooler to get one than you think it would be. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 12, 10:53
- I got my dad a cameo by Bobby Hull this week as he goes into his last round of IV chemo. - spamlet Mar 12, 10:50 5
  - Nice!! Glad that you're dad is nearly done and has done well. -- nm - Krusty Mar 12, 10:51 2
    - Thanks. At least with this round. He’s still got pill chemo and maybe a stem cell treatment to go. - spamlet Mar 12, 10:53 1
      - Hopefully things continue in this direction. - Krusty Mar 12, 10:59
  - nice! -- nm - Andie Mar 12, 10:51
  - Now that's pretty awesome. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 12, 10:51
- this thread has me baffled, befuddled and bewildered! -- nm - mud Mar 12, 10:50 12
  - like, I honestly do not know what you all are talking about -- nm - mud Mar 12, 11:03 11
    - Cameo is a thing where a bunch of celeb will do custom video messages for you for a varying amount of money - Reagen Mar 12, 11:12 10
      - oh .. but why are such random z-level celebs being chosen? (thanks) -- nm - mud Mar 12, 11:13 9
        
        I don't think it is so much Cameo choosing who is offering to make messages as they are providing a platform that people are willing to use to sell - JD Mar 12, 11:17 1
        
        Right, i think basically anyone can sign on. -- nm - Andie Mar 12, 11:29
        
        You say that but Kevin from the Office made something like a million dollars on Cameo last year. -- nm - spamlet Mar 12, 11:17
        
        Price. If there is one that has some meaning to the person, it is well worth it. Andie's is by far the pinnacle of what these can be. -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 11:15 4
        
        not at all. There are a lot of high level people, they just cost a lot more. :) -- nm - Andie Mar 12, 11:29 1
        
        Yeah, see below. I meant that a connection to a lower lister is far better than paying for a bigger star, in my opinion. -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 11:36
        
        Richard Dreyfuss, Don Johnson, LeVar Burton, Kevin Smith, Dan Marino, Jim Brown and Drew Brees are on there. -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 11:19
        
        Bruce Campbell would be cool! -- nm - mud Mar 12, 11:19
        
        Because they're the ones that have lots of extra minutes in their day to make a few thousand dollars to say happy birthday -- nm - JaxSean Mar 12, 11:14
- I was very tempted to buy a Chris Cote cameo for ML. - ReluctantCynic Mar 12, 10:49 [youtube]
- No, and I'm skimming them now for MrsJax's bday possibility. How long are they supposed to be? -- nm - JaxSean Mar 12, 10:49 4
  - they are like a minute or two usually i would say. -- nm - Andie Mar 12, 10:51 3
    - my friend got one from the lead singer of fuel and he did acoustic versions of two songs and included some banter. -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 12, 11:35 1
      - $9.99! But seriously, that is very cool. My favorite meet-and-greet was Chris Isacc when he and his percussionist actually performed for us. -- (edited) - Spawn Mar 12, 11:37
    - Truly depends on the star. If you find someone you like, look at the published examples as a guide. Verdine White was like 20 seconds. -- nm - MDH Mar 12, 10:53
- Along with the one David mentions below, I got the Isaiah Mustafa for my team last week. :) -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 12, 10:45 3
  - Look at your man. Now look at me. Back to your man, now BACK to me! -- nm* - Johnny Lawrence Mar 12, 10:46 2
    - If anyone missed it, he was awesome. - Dark Callisto Mar 12, 10:48 [Backboard] 1
      - He really gave it his all and then some. -- nm - IAmQale Mar 12, 11:25
- David & Kim I got one done by a wrestler whose name escapes me last year. It was fantastic. -- nm - prayformojo Mar 12, 10:45 11
  - It's this guy. He's not famous, but he's a promo master. -- (link) - David, Horny New Guy Mar 12, 10:53
  - (Oh, and I'd want Bruce Campbell or Tim Olyphant to be my cameo.) -- (edited) - Dark Callisto Mar 12, 10:45 9
    - Hey Kim - do you think David would like one from his birthday buddy, Coach Wade? nm - Johnny Lawrence Mar 12, 10:46 8
      - I wonder if we can pay a celeb to mock his fantasy draft choices? -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 11:13 2
        
        We could probably get Mel Kiper to do it. lol -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Mar 12, 11:23 1
        
        Actually, Stink is out there. He'd probably do it. wheeeeee -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Mar 12, 11:24
      - Do they have Oogieloves? -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 11:05 2
        
        wtf are Oogieloves? -- nm - mud Mar 12, 11:06
        
        yeah!!! -- nm - prayformojo Mar 12, 11:05
      - I... do not. *Maybe* Boston Rob. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 12, 10:49 1
        
        Nah. I'm good. I'd want somebody obscure but awesome like Courtnee Draper or Brigitte Auber. -- nm - David, Horny New Guy Mar 12, 10:57
- I'mma be getting one soon. I'm going to get Randy Rainbow to do a message for my mom to celebrate her last chemo treatment in May. -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Mar 12, 10:45 1
  - :) -- nm - Andie Mar 12, 10:52
- Bought my parents Verdine White (Earth Wind and Fire) for a wedding anniversary. For me: I received Fiona the Hippo from the Zoo and it was perfect. -- nm - MDH Mar 12, 10:44 5
  - My mom *loves* EWF -- nm - con_carne Mar 12, 10:46 4
    - He was really good. My parents had no idea what cameo was and then he appeared, their thoughts inside - MDH Mar 12, 10:52 3
      - That last line of the IM 8-) -- nm - JD Mar 12, 11:04
      - it would be so fun to give it to someone who had NO IDEA Cameo existed. They will think you're magic. -- nm - Andie Mar 12, 10:56 1
        
        My mother truly had no idea how it worked or how I got him. She thought I called him or e-mailed, no idea. -- nm - MDH Mar 12, 10:57
- Haven't purchased one. I'd enjoy one from someone like Don Mattingly or Ad Rock. -- nm - Krusty Mar 12, 10:44
- I just did for CJ. Josh Gates from Discovery channel. she's a huge fan. I don't have it yet, not sure who I'd want. someone in music I think -- nm* - Remlik Mar 12, 10:42 1
  - anndn they just canceled it. he's to busy to do one. -- nm - Remlik Mar 12, 11:38
- Kim bought me a Veda Scott one for Valentine's Day. -- nm - David, Horny New Guy Mar 12, 10:41 1
  - of course she did. :) -- nm - Remlik Mar 12, 10:43
- i did Eric Roberts for Dave's birthday in December (as posted here.) It was fun. Not sure who I would want. John Cleese? -- nm - Andie Mar 12, 10:40 1
  - That was so good! Yours and Kim's were the ones I've seen and they were both great. -- nm - Krusty Mar 12, 10:46
Who's putting together the ST NCAA March Madness bracket challenges this year? - ReluctantCynic Mar 12, 10:37 1
- I'm in for a men's bracket. Sexist! -- nm - Krusty Mar 12, 10:45
Oscar noms in 3 days! -- nm - mud Mar 12, 10:33 5
- Wolfwalkers! Awroo! -- nm - IAmQale Mar 12, 11:27
- Ceremony is on my birthday this year. I feel like that's Hollywood's gift to me! -- nm - Andie Mar 12, 10:38 1
  - my favourite night of the year will be late, and smaller, but I'm still counting down the (44) days to go! -- nm - mud Mar 12, 10:42
- Giggity. David is sorta right about the ceremonies being unnecessary, but dangit I need to see people winning at things. -- nm - con_carne Mar 12, 10:37
- nom nom nom -- nm - tRuMAN Mar 12, 10:36
