== Manufacturing Process ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' When we moved out of Jeff's bedroom after the Kickstarter, we're actually, we were handing sewing machines through the window because that's the best way we could move them. That's how, I mean, we've done it ourselves, you know. I mean, this is, yeah. We're all grows up.

We use Squarespace at RelayFM for our store, so I'm doing an ad within an ad now. We just put up some new t-shirts and stickers on the RelayFM store, and it was so easy for us to do. We knew how many we ordered. We just added the inventory into Squarespace Commerce because that's what we use to sell our stuff, and it was super, super simple. By the way, the stickers that we have now, they're the stickers. The artwork is what I had tattooed on my body, so I really believe in that sticker. It was funny, when Brad received that sticker because NotCo do our shipping, he's like, is this a printing error?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Legit thought it was a mistake.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep, because it does just look like the artwork's missing, which is kind of the point because it's the basic representation of RelayFM artwork. That's kind of the idea. But anyway, Squarespace makes it so easy we can integrate with the shipping software that we need, so when the orders arrive at NotCo, they can get them sent out.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I legitimately, when we got those stickers, I didn't want to tell Steven.

'''Unknown:''' I was like, oh man, these are screwed up.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I waited like a day, then I finally said something. I was like, is this for real? Is this a mistake? I was very nervous.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, we got the new, it's called the RelayFM art sticker. I had the colors inverted, because I didn't want all of the dark ink. Yeah. Because I didn't want to cry my eyes out. And then we got a new gray horizontal RelayFM logo shirt, which is a really nice version of our logo, which you may have seen. They're very soft. They're very soft. Yeah, we got Teespring to do them up for us. We found out that Teespring can actually, something called Teespring Direct, because you know we've always used them for campaigns in the past?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, because when y'all told me y'all were doing that, I didn't realize that they offered that as a service, so that was pretty cool.

'''Myke Hurley:''' This is a newer thing, so you can just say, I want 20 of these, 30 of these, 40 of these, and then just print them all up in cinema in one order. Cool. So, it's pretty cool. So, the quality's good. Mine's on the way. Shipped out by you guys.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes, sir.
