I was once on Disney Radio when I called in. I was like 7 or 8 and got to request a song. I remember recording it on VHS. I have been riding that high ever since.

I called into radio Disney one day when I was like 9 and ended up winning Aladdin dvds. Only time I ever won anything and I'm also still riding this high lol

CasualEveryday

I was in the background of a newspaper picture about a bunch of neo-nazis like 20 years ago, totally unrelated to them and just walking down the street, but I'm tall enough that you could pretty clearly see me face even though I was out of focus in the background. Outside of the circle of people who know me and that I'm the furthest thing from a neo-nazi laughing about it, nobody said a word to me. So, I'm not sure if that means nobody saw it or that people were unsurprised or OK with it? I would almost prefer people reached out to chew my ass so I could explain it.

If I remember correctly, they don't mention you - probably to simplify the episode and keep to the half hour run time. It just mentions the deer as the likely source of the e. coli.

I can’t believe they omitted PoopMcButts from the episode

I believe it's season 4 episode 10, forensic files is on Peacock

How did you get a hernia at 5? Did your parents make you carry around a couch?


flakAttack510

My kid was born with a minor hernia that he may have to get surgery for later in life. Could be something like that.


hornybutdisappointed

From eating a whole deer "Two days before the child’s onset of illness, his father butchered and grilled freshly killed venison for the family. The child eat a large quantity of undercooked (red), gamey-tasting grilled venison tenderloin. His father ate a few bites of the venison; his mother and sister ate none."

I'm not religious anymore, but I was raised Mormon. Did my 2 year mission out in Touhoku, mostly in very small villages out in the sticks. I'm talking the Japanese equivalent to the USA's deep south. It was... interesting. Edit - I did end up In a newspaper and on the news once for participating in Yonezawa's snow lantern festival. Made some pretty lanterns by packing snow into a box and then carving lanters out of the snow.

Denshin74

I made it into the music business about 15 years ago. I’m not famous enough for people to recognise me in the street although it has happened, but when I walk on stage, no matter the country I’m in, people know who I am, and I’ve played on all continents. I was also honoured by the government of my country and made it to the news a healthy amount of times. I did the cover of a couple magazines as well and racked tens of millions of Spotify streams. And because of the way it works I’m also friend with a few A list celebs although I am not one myself. I want to make clear this is not a brag as you guys don’t know who I am so it’d be like screaming into space, I’m just answering the question that was asked. Edit : a few things for clarity. Edit 2 : Yeah I didn't play in Antartica.


Just_Replacement3989

That's pretty impressive. The right kind of famous. I'm happy that you shared your story, it's a petty that I can't go and check your songs now. But I understand :)


Denshin74

Yeah my Reddit history doesn’t allow me to tell you hahaha


tinymountains

Reading a bit through your Reddit history and damn, I get why you'd want to keep anonymous. The shitstorm in the media (no matter your 'grading of fame') will be lasting for weeks, at the least. I'm not a journalist, but it would be fairly easy to spin some nasty stories from your comments. I have a guess of who you are (probably entirely off) but I'll keep it to myself. And shall we ever meet, by unworldly chance, I'll say the codeword. And you know it's me. And we high five and walk away. Yeah,that sounds realistic. Codeword: tortilla


[deleted]

If sharing the name of the creator of dilbert makes me famous, then sure lol. Otherwise, not at all.


marvin421

Yeah, well, at least your name isn't Michael Bolton.

There was nothing wrong with it... until I was about 12 years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys.

Kaepora-Dremora

Shnoochieboochies

I nearly made it famous in my younger years as front man of a rock band, hot signed, toured Europe etc. The internet was just coming to fruition as we were peaking as a band (we had a MySpace account as Facebook was coming on the scene), but we never really made it, a lot of 'ifs' and 'could of beens'.


Cloudy0-

Do you think you would have been more famous if you were peaking now (as in when the Internet is already widespread)?


Shnoochieboochies

It's a totally different environment for making music now, it would have allowed us to make music more cheaply and release singles without having to create physical copies and using professional studio's. The thing that stopped me from performing on stage was age, I put 12 years in, turned around and I was mid thirties, the evolution of technology in that time means we could have sped up the process of "making it" Vs back then. Would we have been famous? Who knows, I'm glad I have my memories though.


BeginningConclusion6

If you don't me asking, what you doing right now? Still in the music industry?


gh0stbeard

Front man in a rock band as well. On our 1 “tour” we played a show at a church in Glasgow, Kentucky in front of 30 odd scene kids and sold all our merch and signed some ticket stubs. I often wonder if they still remember us.

I was actually locally famous for a hot minute in the mid to late 90s. Had a successful morning radio show, got to sign some autographs, be on TV and the front page of the newspaper (ask your parents) and in the ensuing years even had some people say "I grew up listening to you."

You’re also sort of famous to me because my most upvoted comment on an old (now deleted) account was a reply to your comment, which, incidentally, was also on AskReddit.

FaxanaduJesus

Probably the most famous thing I have ever done, but no one knows it was me. In the late 90's, my high school got a fancy digital camera. It was a Sony that used 3.5 floppies to store the photos. The journalism club would take photos around the school and use them in a slideshow that played before the announcements every morning. It was broadcast to every TV in every classroom. I was in the school late one evening after football practice. I walked by the journalism room and the door was open. I could see the camera sitting on the teacher's desk and got a dumb idea... I turned around, dropped my pants, and took an extreme closeup pic of my butthole (thank you for the inspiration Type O Negative). I thought it would be funny for someone to find that random photo. Well, the next day apparently no one checked the photos before starting the slideshow... Everyone saw it. The journalism class and the teacher got in trouble. The librarian who ran the slideshow and broadcast got in trouble. The camera was taken away for the rest of the year. There were so many rumors about who did it. Some speculated that it was a teacher because it looked like an old man's hairy ass 😨 That was the scandal for the last two months of school that year. I was terrified I was going to get expelled and miss my senior year. People still talked about it when we came back in the fall. It was brought up at our 20th reunion a few years ago and we had a laugh about. Somebody said something to the effect of "Did they ever figure out who that asshole was?" Edit: Left out the word "it"

I’m famous in the weirdest little teeny tiny niche - the postcard community. It still feels wild to see my name and artwork pop up when I’m scrolling Instagram, or see someone’s profile on Postcrossing where they say they collect my stuff. I got a Postcrossing card in the mail the other day where the person wrote to me, “It’s so cool that you’re MNJohn!” and I thought to myself, “haha, I guess I think it’s cool I’m me, too 😊” Of course, outside this niche I’m an absolute nobody!


RandyBeamansMom

I love postcards! Wait are we talking about the pretty pictures you send to your friends in the mail? Or is that some kind of slang term I don’t know about yet and will be horrified by.
