== Retro 51 Releases ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' They really love their glow in the dark this year. They, everything is glowing in the dark.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep. I mean, if you can, why not? Right.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm becoming a little bit frustrated.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' With what? Glow in the dark or retro?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Retro 51.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, I, what's the story we're trying to tell now? Right. That's the way I look at it. And I don't know what we're doing anymore. Yeah. I don't know what's happening.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, yeah, I, like, we keep saying, okay, look at all this stuff. I guess they're going to wrap it up here soon. And then deluge, you know, thousands more pens. Then deluge, thousands more pens.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Like, it wouldn't bother me if they just were communicating what the deal was. Because nobody, nobody needed them to communicate that they were going away when they decided to tell everyone, right? Right. Like, we didn't need to know then, particularly. It was just when they decided to say. But then they left it open-ended, then kept releasing more pens, but are not talking about what the future is.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I mean, this doesn't look any different than any other year. No. Retro 51 to me.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Which is fine, but it's like, can't you just, like, suggest what you're doing? Like, I would love to, we'd love to know, you know?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's very, it's peculiar. At some point, is it going to end? Or is we just going to keep on going with, you know, Popperpalooza, you know, Spring 2021 edition?

'''Myke Hurley:''' For all we know, somebody else already owns the company and they're just, like, pumping their new pens out. Like, I don't know.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Who knows? It's strange. But anyway.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's like, you know, because I get the idea. We are not, we do not deserve anything, right? It's up to them. Oh, they don't know us anything. They can do whatever they want. But it's kind of like, to me, with these kinds of things is, I feel like, it's like having your cake and eating it. Which is why I'm saying, like, we didn't need to be told when we were told that the company was going away. Right? Right. So, I kind of feel like if you want to be that open, continue to be open.
