The “Hey! I Wanna Be a Guest on The Long Shot Podcast!” Contest

After the insane amount of success of our first contest, we are excited to present our second: The “Hey! I Wanna Be a Guest on The Long Shot Podcast!” Contest.  It’s awesome.

I vote for myself #3. This is for the off chance that if no one sends a vote for me, that I’ll actually have a vote. #3 is the only contestant with Earvin “Magic” Johnson in his video. For this reason alone he should be picked.

I vote for Tim, West, and Joel (you mentioned that the top three would be culled by the listeners in an earlier podcast and the winner would be chosen by the podcast hosts.)

If you just need one vote, I choose West.

Couple of notes:
You mention the contest is over because it ended on May 31st, and while I occasionally browse the web THROUGH TIME (dramatic music!) – I’m pretty sure this is a typo instead.

Between video #3 and #4 is the text “password: longshot”.

Keep the good shows coming!

HowToFoldSoup!!!??? What are the odds!? Are you the same “HowToFoldSoup” that played N? You know that ninja game, you had a few highscores on it? I tried tracking you down earlier… this is incredible… quite literally a one in a billion chance of seeing you post here O_o

Hello Ben. I am the one and only HowToFoldSoup on the internet, as far as I know. Yes, the ENTIRE INTERNET. The key is a 13 character name that no one else would use.

God… N. I haven’t played that in forever. I think you wrote me a message on YouTube a year or two ago. Glad to see you’re keepin’ up on the best Podcasts! Makes me wonder what the non-cheating N population/Long Shot Podcast listeners Venn Diagram would look like.

As far as the chances, they get higher when you consider the webcam I have installed in your brain.

I vote for number three.

Don’t mean to complain but why are there SOOO many entries? I listen to Long Shot while I do other things. This takes work.

I vote #8 as long as they find a hostel.

I was going to vote for #8 Joel – but wasn’t April 11 2011 a month ago? Then again – the contest deadline ended (deadline ended – is that like start began???) two weeks from now – so I may have stepped into an alternate dimension.

S0 – by default I go with West – #6.

From above -

NOTE: We are no longer taking submissions, as the contest deadline ended May 31st.

I vote for 5 or 6 even though neither of those two are very likely to give Flam a beating. If there were a nominee that promised to beat the hell from Flam they would have my vote. Eff you Flam.

I vote for Tim, #5, because he made me laugh almost as hard as I laughed at the last The Long Shot Podcast. He seems like the best contestant to complement an already nearly perfect crew (I’m too ass-kissy to enter this contest).

Josh May 25, 2011 at 8:38 pm

I vote for #5. Want to see how eddie will react.

JP May 27, 2011 at 10:57 am

#3 because he is so sincere and gets you guys.
#4 because she is hilarious, or at least knows editing and timing well.

spencer May 28, 2011 at 12:44 pm

I vote for #3 Adrian Svirčić! Seems sincere and like an interesting person

Liz Brown June 2, 2011 at 4:34 pm

I vote for West! He’s handsome!!!!
