== Relay FM Annual Gifts ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Uh, I mean, you can, we could talk about it and show it off, but like, so every year, uh, Relay FM, we, we gift our hosts something like as a thank you for being with us another year. We've done like, um, we did a wooden block that our friend, friend of the show, Myke Dudek helped us do. That was the first one. Uh, we've done like enamel pins. Um, we've done challenge coins, challenge coins, uh, but this year, bottles, we, yeah, the Yeti mug, the bottle, like this is stuff that just like hosts and some friends, um, in like the art discord mods, get them to, but we did a, uh, custom Mark one. So we did like, we formulated a Sarah cook color with Tom and Dan and did an engraving on it. And I think it's sick. I think it's my favorite.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I was so surprised. Oh, you did a Fisher space pen. I think the first year I forgot. The first one. Yeah. I think it was the black, the black one, when the engraving, but this is my favorite Mark one. I don't have as many as you, but I do have the orange one. So that's a pretty good, like, you know, I like the orange, uh, a lot. Tom and Dan sent me that because they know I like the orange. I think this is my favorite one. So I'll put a picture of it on Instagram.

'''Myke Hurley:''' There's not many of them blue with like some, some like glitter in it kind of like, it's got like some, some flex in there. And then like a goldie copper knock. It's awesome. It's so good. It's so good. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Like I didn't know, like I knew I could say to you, like, Oh my God, thank you. But like, I didn't want to say it out loud, like to the internet. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' This is just like one of those things like gang, no matter how much you may ask for it. Like we're never going to sell something like this for, for relay. Uh, cause it's pretty expensive. It's like a large commitment. Um, yeah, yeah, yeah. To, to buy in on it. But like, yeah, it came out really good. Really, really good. Yeah. Like if I post that on,

'''Brad Dowdy:''' post it, if I post that on Instagram, it's just going to cause y'all problems. So yeah, people always want everything,

'''Myke Hurley:''' like the water bottles and stuff like that. Like we know. And like, there's nothing we can do about it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep. Yep. So I appreciate that. That was really, really great. As soon as I opened it, I was like, Oh God. Yeah. It was great. So, um, but yeah, one last thing, uh, just, uh, revisiting what you said about being in person. Like the, the pen shows definitely make a difference to like, um, you know, like my enjoyment of the stationary. So I hope to get, hope to get back out there a little bit more this year. Um, that's one of the reasons why the Panatic 100 is delayed because I went berserk at, uh, San Francisco and Orlando back to Mac months. I still have like, there's, I was still looking. There's, uh, two pens I haven't even used from Orlando yet. So that's why there was a little bit of delay in this project. Getting going is like, I needed to regroup here real quick, take a break. Um, like I haven't really bought anything since then because I'm still going through using the stuff. So, um, I think next week we'll talk about using stuff, um, getting some new pens inked up for the new year, things I'm using, things I'm enjoying, um, things I'm going to work on, uh, being, being the healer and healing myself first. Um, good man, uh, with, so, uh, getting some great enjoyment out of this stationary world in 2023. And I look forward to it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' If you want to catch up with what we're talking about here, find some links. You can go to relay.fm slash pen addict slash five, four, five. If you want to find Brad in the meantime, we've got a pen addict.com.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Spokedesign.com. Twitch. Twitch.tv slash pen addict three times a week. Brad streams over on Twitch and go to pen addict on Instagram. Still doing Twitter.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Uh, I'm around. I'm answering on Twitter. Yeah. I'm answering tweets. I'm not necessarily like direct posting. We should probably talk about that next week to talk about like a little social media changes and things like that. So we'll, we'll update next week, but the best way to find all my stuff, if you go to pen addict.com, I'm trying to do a really good job at keeping the menu bar up top, all my current projects. So you can just click through all those links there for the podcast, for the stream, for any social media stuff that I'm doing and, uh, all that fun stuff.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Uh, you can find me. I'm I Myke on Instagram. I am Y K E at Myke Hurley.net and at theme system.com where you can find out more about the theme system. Uh, this is a slight thing, a thing we're working on. So we've always used us TPA, right? In the past. Yeah. So there are, you can still do the RCPA in the ways you've always been able to, even if we're not using Twitter, if you are, Oh, absolutely. You can do hashtag RCPA and they'll still go into our thing. If you're in our members discord, you can use question mark RCPA. And now also in the show notes for every episode, you will see a link that says submit feedback. You can click that link and you will go to a form on the relay FM website where you can submit your questions, follow up, whatever you want for the show. And then they go to us to look at Brad. I'll tell you how to do that later on. Uh, this is a brand new thing. Or if you want to go to your web browser, go to pen addict feedback.com. It will take you to the form. This is a new thing we're trying out because as more and more relay hosts, uh, not on Twitter and not on Twitter as much, or especially for me not being on and people want to send follow up and feedback. I don't want to make it out that like, you should pay to be in the discord as the way to get feedback to me and to us. Right. So this is a free way for you to just go to our website and leave the feedback, um, and then we'll see it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Excellent. Love it. So, well, yeah, we'll explore all these, all these little, uh, little slight changes, uh, next week. Cause I have a bunch of things I want to just kind of discuss. They're out there. There's some links to share about some of the just technical changes and, uh, social media changes that, uh, I'm, uh, using, uh, and changing for 2023. So yeah, it's all good stuff.

'''Myke Hurley:''' We'll be back next time. Thanks to uni pizza ovens for the support of this episode. And thank you for listening until then say goodbye, Brad.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Goodbye, Brad.
