== Giveaway Announcement ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's been an exciting, exciting week here since we've last spoke. I'm excited about this podcast. There's so much going on, it's kind of ridiculous.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm glad that we did it a little bit later in the week, just so I could calm down a little bit.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's right. Maybe that's why I'm so anxious about today. It's been two whole extra days that we pushed back. That makes me not sleep as well, Myke.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I know that if it's bad for us, it's worse for our listeners. My gosh, I know. Because they're hoping to be winners today.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I know, especially when we owe them something, like kind of a big deal giveaway that we did. And we make them wait two more extra days. At least they can blame you for it, right? I didn't have anything to do with this. Yeah, this was completely my fault. Yeah, way to go.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, I know.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So all your nasty grams can go to at iMike on Twitter.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' But hey, let's get straight into it. These people want to know who won. Our giveaway, again, from episode 100 was easily the best thing we've ever done on the podcast. It was so much fun. It just made me feel grateful to be in this community and to have all the support we had of all the vendors that sent us all the prizes for this and that wanted to participate in this. So we appreciate if you check these guys out that donated all these prizes. We're awesome. But first thing I want to do, Myke, let's talk about the questions and answers, and then we'll go into the winners. Yeah. Sound good?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, let's do it. Sweet. Go ahead. Yes, I was going to say before we announce the winners, but I'll say it now because I started. If you hear your name, then email us, I think, would be the best way to do it. And then if we don't hear it back from people, then maybe we start reaching out. Would that be fair?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, so what I was thinking is I'm going to give it like two or three days just for people to listen to the podcast. I'm not going to break the news to them without them listening. If they catch it and they're surprised by it, that would be more fun. Exactly. But after about two or three days, I'll start pinging people, say, hey, you might want to listen to episode 102. Just kind of give them a hint.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Either go to 5x5.tv slash penaddict and hit the contact button or send an email to thepenaddict at gmail.com if you are a winner. And only if you're a winner. I mean, you can email us about other things, you know. Always. But don't just all email and be like, I'm a winner because we know who the winners are.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I have your details. We got NSA level stuff going on in this Google Docs spreadsheet.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's the only way to do a competition, to employ the NSA.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's right. All right. So we got five winners, but we had five questions. I don't want to get too far. And we had 602 entries in this, by the way, Myke, which is mind boggling.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I hope that we get at least enough that we can have a couple of people per package, you know, potentially to win. Maybe 20 responses.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right. So let me give the answers real quick. A lot of people had a lot of fun with this, and we're going to talk about some of the fun answers we got, too. But what are the pins that shall not be named? And Myke and I had a challenge in an early podcast. It was in episode 20. You know some of these people, Myke?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Why don't you ask me the questions? Okay.
