'''Myke Hurley:''' where it's like two different prescriptions in one? It's basically

'''Brad Dowdy:''' four zones of viewing in a single lens to where, you know, if you, so you don't have to wear like the hard line division bifocals, right? It's so you have this lens that looks like a normal lens except it's segmented out

'''Myke Hurley:''' for you to see. You don't want to wear the like the bifocals because that makes you look old to people. Yeah, right, where you can see like, oh, there's like a little circle and it's like, and especially

'''Brad Dowdy:''' for someone like me who wears glasses 100% of their waking hours, right? So I thought, well, I'm done with Warby Parker now. I'm into progressives and they just do regular stuff. I was wrong, Myke. They do progressive lenses and I was shocked. So I don't have progressive lens Warby Parker yet, but that's coming up soon. So I've, like I said, I think I've done three pairs of Warby Parker so far. I love them every time and I thought I was going to be done, but we'll get some progressives tried out once I get my new prescription that I got to go. It's that time of the year where I go get them updated and I feel like I've already have a change coming in, but as soon as I do that, then I can order them and I'd be anxious to see how these Warby Parker progressive lenses go.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You're going to be doing like your seventh thumb try on.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Which is, it's great though, right? Like every time you want to get a set of glasses, you can just order a bunch and they come home and you can try them all on. Like it's, it's, it's pretty great system.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I have to try that when I get my progressive lenses. I haven't tried that yet. All right. So the Hippo Noto's back. It is. So I have a sample of the B6. So Crystal's doing, so the Hippo was Hippo size last year. Like, it was her own size that she came up with. It's a super thick Tomoe River notebook. So this year, she's doing a traditional A5 size and then like a B6 size, which is probably one of the outside of A5. It's probably like the second most popular. Some people swear by that size.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So she's doing that. You've helped clear this up for me because I was thinking it was the original size and a new size, but this is two standardized sizes. Neither of them are the Hippo Noto size. Okay. The original one. Okay. Yes.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes. So the paper is Tomoe River, which if you want to use fountain pens, that's kind of what you do. So this is out there and she's got a new ink with it this year. Now, when the first Hippo Noto came out, she had a bunch of problems fulfilling shipping, production. It like went on for years and years. It went on for like over a year, I think, year and a half before everyone got, you know, their product. So I just want to make sure I'm clear on that. There were some issues the first time around and if you got burnt, maybe you're not coming back this time and that's understandable. But I know a lot of people love their Hippo Notos too. So, you know, this is something to look at if you're interested in like a really good quality fountain pen because I think the end product is really good. So, and hopefully all of the shipping fulfillment production issues are behind them this year. So I'm looking forward to it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I mean, I don't know this, but you would hope that if you go through it, you know the pitfalls, right? Like if you go through it once.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's why I'm okay on the second backing, right? Unless like there's something like super detrimental the first time I'm willing to give a second chance, there's not a third chance. You know, there's, you know, this time if it doesn't come through, it's my fault, right? Like it's on me because, hey, you could have said, hey, well, look at this. You should have known. It's like, well, I'm okay giving this project a second chance where some projects I wouldn't.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. I'm going to back because I got my one and I absolutely love this notebook. I was a huge fan of the Hippo Noto. I ended up accidentally destroying mine. So I'm going to also this ink color looks more exciting than the previous. Oh, yeah.
