== Moleskine Notebooks ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. See, I haven't been using the Moleskine. I mean, I've been using field notes like crazy, but also the Moleskine professional is one of the worst notebooks I've ever used. Yeah. It's absolutely terrible. I'm thinking about just replacing it. Like I'm not, I don't even want to finish it. Sure. It's a terrible, terrible notebook. I cannot stress enough how little I recommend it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I mean, there's no sense in being frustrated about what the tools you're using, you know, put it to the side and get something else.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Although I have been field noting like crazy. That's true. I've got something that I want to mention in respect, in regards to that, um, in, in our followup, but I want to talk about our second sponsor first, if that's okay with you, Bradley for,

'''Brad Dowdy:''' that'd be great.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'll just give you a new name. Why not?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's a new one.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Why not? Sir Braddington, something like that. Just trying to give you fancier and fancier names now.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm a fancy guy.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Awesome. Thank you, Squarespace. Cool, right? 20%? Yeah. Way cool.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I bet you're upset. You just bought a site like two weeks ago.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, I only got 10%. Take that Tallyho8 and shove it with this Tallyho9.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You'll make that 10% back through the fact that they're here.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Hey, I'm happy to do it. I'm happy to do it. So just to comment on their customer service real quick, I think it's common knowledge that I'm a night worker, so I'm up all night. And my day's off. I'm still up all night and sleep during the day. And if ever I've had, you know, when we're working on a website or, you know, Pen Addict or setting up the NotCo website, if I've had a question for Squarespace, I'll just open up a ticket through their help center at 3 o'clock in the morning. And, like, within five minutes, I've got a response and we're looking at it. Or here's the answer. So 24-7 is the truth. It's not just, well, kind of, sort of, in the middle of the night when you need it or in case it's an emergency. It's, like, for the littlest thing, like, you know, if I've had some simple problem at 3 o'clock in the morning, I've got help within just a couple minutes. So I've been very pleased with that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' See, I know that they have an office in Dublin, Squarespace. So maybe that's what helps with that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Cool. That's great.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Which I'm actually hoping to visit that office sometime within the next year. Oh, that'd be sweet. Yeah, just go and say hi. Hey, Dublin people. Like that. You don't know who I am, but hi. Hi, I'm Myke. Tally-ho! Just running around the Squarespace offices screaming, Tally-ho. Dan sent me!

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, my goodness. So this is the official backwards episode.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So we've got some follow-up to get to. It's actually been a couple weeks, huh?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Is that before we get to our main topic?
