+ Have you seen Extras? It’s the show Ricky Gervais made after The Office. It’s truly phenomenal…and, somehow, the entire series is on YouTube.

+ Love this cover of my favorite song from last year.

+ I’m really excited about some giveaways coming up here on the blog. They’re a little different than normal, but I think you’re going to like them.

+ Not sure if I’ve mentioned it yet (lie), but we released a new video yesterday: Super Bowl Party Etiquette. Feel free to email it to all of your potential guests ahead of time to make sure they behave. Same principles apply to all the Groundhog Day parties tonight, by the way. Speaking of…

+ I can never remember the shadow ramifications on Groundhog Day. Naturally, CGP Grey comes to the rescue.

+ Super Bowl prediction: I’ll forget who won by Valentine’s Day.

+ I think you can tell a lot about a person just by knowing who their childhood favorite athlete was. Mine, to an unhealthy degree, was Deion Sanders. What about you?

Who was your favorite athlete when you were growing up?

3. Are you married? If so, for how long?

I’ll go first in the comments.

Oh, and we’ll be releasing our new video today/tonight, so be on the lookout.

+ Our Sh*t Nobody Says video just surpassed 5 million views – a new record for us (#humblebrag). We’re filming our next video on Friday night and still need a couple more extras. If you’re in Atlanta and want to be a part of it, let me know.

+ Speaking of…are you following SNS on Twitter? HumbleBrag? Make it happen.

+ I’m a big fan of Gary Vaynerchuk. This interview is one of many reasons. By the way, I’ve read his first book, but haven’t read Thank You Economy yet. Recommend?

+ Anyone using Timehop? I just signed up for it. Could be fun…or could be annoying. We’ll see.

+ Have you signed up for The List yet? If a FREE digital copy of my book isn’t enough (understandable), here are 7 other reasons.

+ Just watched the first two episodes of Boss last night. Now I see why Kelsey Grammar won the Golden Globe.

+ Heads up: In the next couple weeks, Mendmark is going to be doing the best giveaway we’ve ever had here on the blog. Not sure how it’s going to work, but everyone will have an equal chance to win.

+ I’ve said this before, but 7 Minutes in Heaven with Mike O’Brien is the current best interview series in existence.

+ My work soundtrack for the last couple of weeks has been Infinite Arms by Band of Horses. I can’t get enough.

What about you? What’s been your go-to album lately?

+ I didn’t really understand all of the SOPA stuff until I watched this video. It’s 11 minutes, but he does a really great job of breaking it down. If you have a website or create content for the web (YouTube, etc), it’s a must-watch. Also: This article by Seth Godin.

+ Speaking of SOPA, I’m posting one of my favorite websites of all time tomorrow on The Weekly Six – a website that wouldn’t even be able to exist if SOPA were to pass.

+ 5 actors who got their start on Punk’d.

+ Bryan Allain and his wife Erica are coming to stay with us this weekend. We’ll be filming some promos for the Killer Tribes Conference and having zero fun.

+ How am I just now finding out about the Chrome Web Store? Revolutionary.

+ Predictions of what 2011 would be like from a 1911 newspaper. Fascinating.

+ Any other Hunger Games people out there? I just started Catching Fire the other night. So good. Not Harry Potter good, but good nonetheless.

Any arbitrary thoughts of your own? Nothing is too arbitrary.

There’s a strong-to-quite-strong chance our Sh*t Nobody Says video is going to be featured on The Today Show this morning. It’s scheduled for the Kathie Lee/Hoda Kotb hour starting at 10am EST.

Key words being Kathie Lee and Hoda. Since it’s a live show and they’re controlling the pace, we’ve been told they could run out of time. If it gets cut from broadcast, it’ll still be online afterwards and there’s a 1000% chance I’ll post it here.

We’ll see.

Oh, and I’ll be in a meeting during the broadcast, so if you see it on there, let me know on Twitter – @tylerstanton. Thanks!
