Stalking is such a negative word these days.
Stalking is such a negative word. Try “discreetly getting to know” or “becoming the biggest fan ever” or “it’s just a part of my human-interaction research project”.
See? That sounds better.
O.k, so for those of you who didn’t figure it out, here’s what you ought to know about stalking your favorite internet video podcast host. If that is indeed me. And if it isn’t, here’s how to stalk some guy on the internet.
All you have to do is use the information given. And you have 3 main clues: Our last name is Winn, we live in San Diego, and we have a webpage. That ought to be enough to get you information on most people.
First of all, go to dodster.com or any other site that sells domain names and do a “who is” search for whatyououghttoknow.com. Scroll down a bit, and you’ll find out not only that one of our names is Jedd; you’ll also find out our office address and phone number. And that’s like hitting pay dirt, because Jedd Winn is a pretty unique name. It’s not like John Smith or Jennifer Jones. Wait, I don’t know anyone named John Smith or Jennifer Jones.
You’ll find another big clue if you manage to make it to the end of each video. There’s a giant “Titan Arts” notice. Right there. Staring, right at you. You go to Titan Arts.com, and you’ll see a phone number. It’s not the right phone number, but you’ll get a recording with my voice on it saying that my name is Brett. As in, not Jedd, which is the other name you already have. Not hard to guess now, is it?
Of course, there are lots of other ways to find us, too. On Google, if you type in whatyououghttoknow.com San Diego, three links down you’ll find a link to the Asian Journal with a press release about our show. Not only does it have both of our names, but the article also tells you what we do. That I’m in front of the camera and he’s, I mean, he’s with the camera, yeah, anyway…
Don’t ask me how we ended up on the Asian…what was it called again? The Asian Journal of something…? Yeah, anyway, it’s a long story.
Oooh, ooh, ooh, and don’t forget about Facebook. One of the secret 22 put up a fan site for us. My brother Glenn’s a member, and I’m one of his friends, so bingo. And you don’t even need to go that far. On Facebook, type in “Winn” and hey, Mr. #2 looks suspiciously familiar…
I was actually shooting for #3. So close, just missed it. Stole my third place, Lisa Winn. Grr.
See? It was easy. And if you wanted to, I suppose you could just look up the business records for Titan Arts LLC in California, and they’d give you Brett and Jedd Winn as the managing directors. But there’d probably be a fee. And you know how we feel about that. I think the Internet way is better.
So how’d the rest of you Internet stalkers find us? Post it in the comments. Now for the big announcement. I’m sure you’re all wondering who the winner is. Well, this is our show, and our contest, so we can change the rules whenever we want. And we’ve decided to have more than one.
We’re going to give out prizes for a few different categories. First call, first correct answer, best message, creepiest, creepiest person…
You better hope you don’t win that one. Not going to be getting a good prize. And we’ll be contacting you all privately. So you can avoid being stalked. Just incase you want to keep it that way.
So that’s what you ought to know. He’s Jedd, I’m Brett, we’re the Brothers Winn. Well, two of them, anyway. I mean, we’d have to get permission from the other four before we let you stalk them, too.
In the comments, you can even tell people how you found my home phone number.
But seriously, stop calling. I don’t mind if you get my phone number, I just mind if you use it. I’m not going to pick up. Seriou—I’m not. Let’s just move. I mean, I hear Portland’s a really nice place. And it would cut down on the stalking.
