'''Myke Hurley:''' But you know, you usually know ahead of time, like, I'm assuming I'm going to get hit for something if I'm ordering it from out of the country.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You know, me buying it from overseas, it is cheaper than if it was something I bought here because there isn't any tax on it. So, like, you know, you just like, right, well, I know I'm going to pay the tax on it. But then there are times like this where it's, it's just, I shouldn't have had to pay. It was incorrect. So.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Yeah. So, well, at least you got the package. Everything that was supposed to be in it's in it. And we can now move on with the rest of the show, right? We're all good.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' No, because you forgot some stuff again.

'''Myke Hurley:''' What? So.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's not possible. You included in quite a few extras in this package. So, one, there were two Retro 51 celebrations in my package, which I was not expecting. So, one, which I will keep closed, is my one, number two. I'm actually not going to open it. And then you also sent me number 807, which is one I'm using today. I got my bump in the night, Retro 51, that you procured for me. Nice. I really like the new stickers. Yep. They're bananas. They help my eyes. I don't know how you do that from a sticker. You sent me, there was a lovely letter, which I need to go through in more detail. I've just skimmed that so far from a wonderful listener. Yep. You sent me two of your great Caran d'Ache pants. Mm-hmm. You did not send me the spoke roadie that you had agreed you would send me. Son of a... And also, we had a conversation about you procuring some Califolia in Trenopel for me. Oh, yeah. I like that you immediately remembered both things. So, it wasn't one of those situations where, like, I was expecting something that you were just not aware of. So, I'm not upset at you. I was expecting it. But I'm actually kind of happy that you did forget something because then I get to needle you over it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Which spoke roadie color did you want? That's what I don't remember. Was it Gecko?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I need to look at them now. And then I'll remember.

'''Myke Hurley:''' The only one that would come to mind was Gecko, which were sold out of. I think it might have been Gecko. Yeah. So, that's why I didn't send you that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' No, it's not why. That wasn't why. Could be. The reason you didn't do it is because you forgot.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Because, like, I would have asked for it before it was sold out, surely. Possibly. But, you know, why would I send you one for free if I can sell it, you know?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. No, I think that that's a very...

'''Myke Hurley:''' I thoroughly agree with that. Secondly, Califolia in Trenopel, you can get at Cult Pens for, like, mega cheap.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I said all of this, but you were like, don't worry. I've got an order I need to make and I'll just get you some. Yeah, that didn't happen. No. But now I will go to Cult Pens and get it for myself.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's all vaguely. It sounds familiar.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' No, Cult Pens doesn't have Califolia.

'''Myke Hurley:''' They did when we were talking about it because everyone emailed me afterwards, like, just tell Myke to order from Cult Pens.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, here it is. For some reason, it didn't come up when I searched Califolia. Yeah, probably you spelled it wrong. Yeah, I think I spelled it with one L. So there we go. I'll make that order later on today.

'''Myke Hurley:''' All right. So you got the majority of the things. The vast majority.
