== Listener Feedback ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Speaking of show notes, Myke, what happened after last week? We got all kinds of cool stuff going on with this place.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So our listeners, as I hoped and expected, have taken the mantle of helping us try and build the idea of the new starting point for the show for new listeners. And we've had some great suggestions. I want you to keep sending them in. We're going to go over this at another point. But one of the really good things that have been suggested by a few people is that a bunch of our old episode show notes are on the Wayback Machine, on the web archive. So there's the Wayback Machine of the 5x5 website has a bunch of the show notes in that the feed doesn't and didn't and doesn't on the RelayFM feed. So you can go there and find them. We can maybe try and find some way to incorporate these back in. I don't know how we could do that. But we're going to look into it. But at least for now, if you are, well, I mean, if you're thinking of going back and listening, because if you're listening to the old episodes now, you're not hearing this. So it's not so useful for you. But if you're thinking about going back, because I know actually that some people are now to help us compile our kind of pen addict history for new listeners, you can find the show notes at the Wayback Machine and there will be a link in the show notes of this episode for that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep. And one of the listeners recommended who I thought when I thought it was a good idea, who is listening from the beginning, it's a new listener, but they wanted to be up to date on, you know, the current episode. So they didn't miss anything, like if something like was time constrained. So they actually stick in their order of wherever they are and listening through the historic episodes. And then when the new one comes out, they listen to it and then go back to the place where they were. So they kind of have like the most current 10 they've listened to and then are through like episode, you know, 75. So something like that. So I thought that was a good idea. So you can get some of the current stuff.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't know how you could keep like that in track. I have much respect for people that can listen to the two different points and work out where they are in that. That's kind of amazing.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. I also have much, much respect for people who do amazing artwork of you and me. Right. Because. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We're not the most handsome individuals, but the artwork usually turns out pretty amazing in this case.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' By the way, speak for yourself.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Yeah. I knew that was coming.

'''Myke Hurley:''' But this one is really cool. A long, long, long time listener and follower. Mia put this out on Instagram and it's just the coolest, coolest link I've seen in a long time of little of show art. And what did you think about this when you saw it?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, man. I'm so happy about this. So it's basically it's mine and Brad's facial hair and glasses is the focus of the artwork next to each other. And it is surprisingly good. Like it's you see it and you're like, yeah, no, that's the two of us, which is kind of amazing because there's no facial features, but it works perfectly. Mia did a great job of capturing my mustache, especially. Absolutely. Yeah. This is fantastic. I want this.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. This is legit good. Yeah. Like I was thinking that too. I was like, I need like this somehow in my life, like either digitized or something like that, because I was actually thinking about getting my haircut and the way that thing is growing in that picture. It makes me want to keep growing it out.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Keep going for it, man. Keep going for it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. This is awesome. We need some Anna artwork mixed into here. Have you ever had anything like this on or seen anything like this from any of your readers or fans?

'''Ana Reinert:''' Well, my icon on Instagram is actually a drawing that my friend Sandy did of me. Oh, nice. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I've seen that one. That's very cool.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Yeah. So she Sandy Devaney and I can find a link. She actually has an Instagram of her doodles now. I think it's Sandy doodles, but I will pull that up and put it in the notes.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's awesome. Yeah. A long, long, long time ago, I had a comic artist do some like digital headshots of me that I used for a while. Like it was my Twitter avatars and things like that. Those came out really good. I still use them. I think I remember that. Yeah. Eric Merced. He did the work and I use them from time to time because they're still accurate because they're really good in there. I have a bunch of different sized digital files and things like that. So it's pretty cool.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You could just use that artwork from the Boston Globe though.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Everyone reminds me of that. Anytime I ask for like artwork or, you know, like I did the wallpaper things, people just don't hesitate to shoot that to me. They must people. Some listeners must have that like hot length to a shortcut on their keyboard. If I say something, because that picture shows up way too quickly in my feed when I ask for something. Well, you never forget it. So once you see it, you never forget it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That actually needs a t-shirt is what it needs. No, it doesn't. No one should put that on themselves.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'd do it. I'm not scared.
