So, we're probably going to get ours. Well, we are actually going to get ours made at Moo. Nice. Because they have such wonderful finishes, such wonderful details they can add to your products. Gold foil, silver foil, raised spot gloss, letterpress. All these little touches will make you stand out.

So, they're inspired by the most creative customers, so you can really make something that looks fantastic.

That is Moo.com slash relay, and you will get that discount automatically applied at checkout. 30%. Don't miss it. Moo.com slash relay. Go now. Thanks to Moo for their support of this show. Wow. I saw something exciting on Twitter. Yeah? That you and Brian have finally shipped the final spoke pen.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Woo-hoo. That's Brian. Let's give a big round of applause to Brian for, like, hammering out these last two months of spoke pen shipments. He crushed it. It's been a long process. I know we're both happy it is done. But the last of the Kickstarter spoke pens shipped out yesterday. He is very relieved. I am very relieved for him because he did the lion's share of the work of the assembly and shipping for this. So, thank you, Brian, for sticking with this and fighting through all the challenges that we had during this campaign. And thanks to everyone who supported us and was patient with us. The feedback has been out of this world. Like, it's been, like, even beyond Brian and mine's wildest dreams of what people think about the pen when they get it in hand. So, I'm very happy about that. But, so, now we're going to take, we have a call this afternoon. I don't have dates or times for when they're going to be available on the site. But we're going to talk about that. But it's not going to be imminent because we're going to take some time to build up some inventory before going live with that. So, how long that will be, I don't know. It will be before Christmas sometimes. But, you know, it could be a, we might just take a month to just build so we have inventory to ship instead of the other way around. Instead of selling and then having to build to meet all the sales. So, stay tuned. Follow SpokePen online, all the socials. And we'll let you know when they're ready to roll. Also, I got the second to last shipment of Burton pen cases in. The A5 pouch that we did for the Kickstarter. That project is done. But I knew I'd have about 100 left over to sell directly. It's going to be a problem selling these because they're just going to, we have way more people wanting them than I have inventory. So, I'm just going to put them out through the newsletter. You should sign up to the Nock newsletter. And I don't know what day it's going to happen. It won't be this week. I will tell you that right now. Um, but next week I'll probably have an email one day in the afternoon to try to get through, to try to allow as many people to buy them as possible. But there's going to be some upset folks because, uh, to pat ourself on the back, just like I did with SpokePen, this design really resonated with people. Um, I'm very happy with it. Jeff is very happy with it. And our customers are very happy with it. I'm very happy too. So, we'll do some more next year at some point. But for this style, this model, um, it will, uh, it, it, I, there will be like a hundred and I know that's going to be a problem. But, you know, it is what it is. That's kind of, uh, you know, that's kind of how this one wrapped up. But, uh, I'm thrilled with it. So, we'll get those out probably next week. But just sign up to the Nock newsletter if you're not. And that's going to be how I'm going to notify people.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Jeez. Just sign up to the newsletter. What's wrong with you? Jeez.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's like, I'm not going to do lotteries. And I'm not just going to, like, put it online. Like, if you're in the newsletter. It's not that popular.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Right? Like, you know, it's like it's not worth going to those limits. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, yeah, yeah. No. But, like, people will be upset. Like, I want everyone to have the case that they want. But, you know, it's not going to happen.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, just resign to that fact. They should just throw money at you and then you can make more of them.
