'''Myke Hurley:''' We'll see. All right. Today's show is brought to you by our friends at Casper, the company focused on sleep that are dedicated to making you exceptionally comfortable one night at a time. You spend a third of your life sleeping. If you spend a third of your life doing absolutely anything, you'd want to make sure that it's as best as it can possibly be. And that is why you want a Casper mattress in your life. Their mattresses are perfectly designed for humans. They have engineering to soothe and support your natural geometry. Everybody's different. And they have all the right support in all the right places. That's what the Casper mattress can do. That's why it can make you so comfortable. They can buy multiple supportive memory foams to get their quality mattress that has just the right sink and bounce. And all of their mattresses are designed and developed in the US. And they have a breathable design to help regulate your body temperature throughout the night. They have over 20,000 reviews online and an average rating of 4.8 stars. People love the Casper mattress. It's quickly becoming the internet's favorite mattress. And I bet that one of those things is that you have a risk-free sleep on it trial with Casper. You get 100 nights to make sure that mattress is right for you. So, the people that keep them are the people that love them. Because if you don't, all you do is just send it back and it's hassle-free. They'll just give you your money back. Like, it's simple. They deliver it directly to your door. And if for any reason you don't love it, they have that hassle-free return policy to take care of it for you. And you get 100 nights to make sure that it works out. Now, Mr. Brad Dowdy, I know that you have a Casper mattress. Can you tell me something you like?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, I have interesting body geometry, Myke. So, that's a new term for me. I fall into that category. And it handles my body geometry exceptionally well. I will say I did not get kicked out of the bedroom over the holidays, which is a win. So, I don't have any recent Casper experience in our guest bedroom. But when I do, it handles my body geometry exceptionally well. Good.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I like to think that you're handled very nicely. That makes me happy. Mm-hmm. Start sleeping ahead of the curve with Casper.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, one of my new things for 2018. And I'm not doing a hardcore resolution thing. We've talked about this a million times. Neither of us are super big resolution guys. But we'll talk about some things later. But one of the things I want to do more is share more and be available more online. Have a more active online presence. So, I've started playing around with Instagram live. And it is fun. So, I just wanted to throw that out there. If you're on Instagram, you might see me pop in live once or twice a week. I'll try to announce them ahead of time. You know, go on for 30 minutes or so and just chat. But like our good friend Myke from Independence in the chat room, he said I stole his YouTube style. I had a live session with a beer the other night. He's like, hey, that's my shtick. And I'm like, I'm sorry, man. I didn't mean to steal your shtick. But it's fun to just go in and chat. And now that Instagram live allows you to bring in guests, I'm going to start doing that just to see what kind of randomness fun can happen. I think it'll be cool. I tried to join one with Brian Goulet last week or two weeks ago. And it failed. Like the technology failed. It's still new for Instagram. But I like doing it. It's fun. So, look for me on Instagram live more. And if you have any ideas on what you want to see on Instagram live, let me know.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Brian is Pen Addict on Instagram.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. That's the one place where I got the good name, right? I don't even know how that happened because that wasn't my first Instagram account. My first Instagram account was Dowdyism, the same as Twitter. Somehow when I went to go do Pen Addict, it was available. I couldn't believe it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And you actually probably ended up getting it in the best place. Yes. Yeah. Right. I think that's this. That for you to have the Pen Addict name is probably the best on Instagram.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes. I would agree with that. That's the choice. That's the one you want. Oh, man. I have no clue.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Where is this burger place here on your Instagram?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That looks good. Yeah. So, that was in St. Simon's Island. That was on our anniversary trip, my wife and I. It's called Certified Burger, St. Simon's Island. That was a chorizo burger, which was amazing.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Mm.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That does look good, actually. That's right. Yeah. So, and I also noticed on Instagram, I need to up my game in the fanciness a little bit. You know, I keep it real on Instagram. I don't stage too much stuff, but I do want to have a few prettier pictures. Like when I did my best nine, they were all kind of dark background-y stuff. I want to bring some more pop into it a little bit. So, I'm going to work on that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You need to get one of those mod cases things. I don't even know what that is. You know, like the big...

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, this is ground. The mod case. Okay. Yeah. My friend Catherine and I. Yeah. So, Catherine is the hero of the mod universe. She is awesome. She's the best Instagram photographer I know. And she's amazing. And we have fought over that before. And we've had some discussions around that. So, her and I are like best of friends. She knows where I stand on it. And we just have fun with it. So, yeah. I do have something similar that I just got in the mail that I will share on Instagram sometime this week. But our good friends at Bellroy did a little something-something they sent me. So, we'll be sharing that soon. You got something to share, though.

'''Myke Hurley:''' The saga is over.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I got a text or a Slack message from who you bought this from. And he's like, phew.
