== Shirts and Sharpies ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Cool. Nice job, man. Thank you, sir. That's not all, though. You got some other stuff going on. Shirts and Sharpies. Shirts and Sharpies.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So I'm wearing my shirt today, actually, which I just randomly. So I finally got in the shirts. They came out great. Sharpies came out great, too. I wanted some orange Sharpie logo pins. I've always followed like artists who have their own Sharpie. And I thought that was the coolest thing. So I wanted my own Sharpie.

'''Myke Hurley:''' How did you get this?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' What do you mean? How did I get this?

'''Myke Hurley:''' How do you how does that happen? How do you get branded Sharpies? Where do they come from?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, one actually one of the advertisers on my blog brought it to my attention. Cheap pins dot com. So and I worked with them. And once I saw they had Sharpies, I knew that I wanted them. And then I saw that orange Sharpies were an option. Well, that was a done deal. So that's where I got them from.

'''Myke Hurley:''' What was the website?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Cheap pins dot com.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So they print on them.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Huh. That's kind of cool.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' They came out really good. Yeah, they look great.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Okay.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Cheap promotional pins.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep. They came out good. That's real cool, man.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And the shirts came out great, too.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. I'm looking forward to seeing them. So you went with orange.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I could have gone. The other option was black with the black Sharpie with the orange print. That might be cool. Maybe that'll be round two if I do do another one.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. The shirts look great. I mean, it's just the logo, right? I'm looking forward to picking one up. I understand that they're being held aside for me in Atlanta.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. And they're like a bright orange, like kind of like our episode 100. Um, orange shirt. It's kind of in that, in that color way. It's kind of bright, kind of, kind of cool. I really, really like how they turn out comfy.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So yeah, got all the stuff going, man. I'm a busy bee.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And fishing vest pins and stickers. Oh yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I forgot about that. I forgot about that. Yeah. So our pins came in. There are enamel like lapel pins, except they're huge. Um, they're like two inch lapel pins. So they're really nice and heavy and the colors came out good. And all the pins and everything pop in the little notebook. Um, I have one in my backpack right now and, uh, we got a matching sticker to go with it. And, uh, just a new NotCo sticker, um, with, uh, a phrase we like to use for our paper lineup. Start with the first leveler. So, uh, so, um, they came out really good, really good. Um, we were having those, we got them in early for Atlanta. So we decided to just pop them up on the shop for anyone who was interested in. So, uh, they're, they're cool. They've, uh, gotten good response so far and I'm really, really happy with how they turned out.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm looking forward to getting one of those stickers on my iPad.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, for sure. It's going to look great. Yep.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Should we finish up with some Ask EPA today?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Let's do it. We've got a bunch of good questions. And, um, I want to add in, remind me at the end, I've got one from Doug Beal that I need to grab out of my, uh, my Twitter feed. Cause it's a good one. And I have something to say about that. So the first one, this, this was the hot, the hot, uh, Twitter action last week. Um, Mr. Neil himself, I I'm assuming, you know who that is.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Neil Gaiman, right?
