== Roll Gut ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right. So, one of our favorite Kickstarter projects I think we've talked about, this will make the third week in a row now, the Roll Goot. Is it Goot or Gut?

'''Myke Hurley:''' I like Gut, but.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So, we'll go with Roll Gut because we're Englishers and we butcher things. So, my friend Brian at Office Supply Geek got an early sample of the Roll Gut and reviewed it. I say that in air quotes. Like he took a lot of pictures and talked about the specifications. And aside from the pin holding aspect and the construction of it, which all look great, I really, the only thing I care about is what's my paper look like when I unroll it and how do I use it? And he didn't cover any of that. I was like, well, that's kind of the point of the thing. And I was very disappointed that he didn't have more on. Here's the paper I used. When I rolled it up, it did this or it didn't do this or it worked perfectly. It came out perfectly smooth or it was curved up and wrinkled. I couldn't write on it. That's what I need to know about this product. So, I was a little disappointed in that fact. But I like seeing all the pictures and technically it looks good. But like the only question this product has to me is how does the paper work when you're ready to go write on it? And he didn't answer that. So, maybe he can do a follow-up and, you know, kind of figure out how to use the actual feature of the case. So, I was a little disappointed there. So, Brian, get back to us on that. Maybe do a follow-up. Say, here's the paper, the A5 paper I used and here's how it worked. I think that would be cool to see.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And speaking of Pelican Hubs earlier in the show, there's going to be a special attendance at one, it would seem.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Maybe. So, I'm going to try to get to the Atlanta Pelican Hub. It's this Friday. I think most Pelican Hubs are this Friday. Chat room can correct me if I'm wrong. At least in the U.S., I'm guessing they are.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, I think they're supposed to be on the same day. Right? Like, it's like on the Pelican Hubs website. It says Friday 22nd at 6.30 p.m. local time. I think they like to do them as like a rolling thing throughout the world.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So, I think what I'm going to do is it's at 6.30. And I think I'm going to get my kids from school that afternoon and head up there to the Pelican Hub. It'll be my first one I've attended. My friend Stacy is putting it on. It's at a very, very cool location if you're in the Atlanta area. So, yeah. I think me and the kids are going to make it up there on Friday. So, that's the plan right now. It could change, but I'm certainly planning on it. And I think it would be fun and be fun to take the kids to, too, as well.
