== Rule Breaker List ==


'''Myke:''' As they should be, I think. I think it's like a badge, you know, you can, you should be able to wear it, but you've just got to be able to accept what you did, you know?

'''Brad:''' Some people were regretting that they actually didn't make the Rule Breaker list. They're like, well, darn, I should have put my ink in there, and, uh, that way I could have been on the list. And some people were like, well, hey, I didn't mean to be on the Rule Breaker list. And, like, that was okay, too.

'''Myke:''' Yeah, all of these things are fair, right? Or it's like, sure, some of you, you want to be, like, you want to be in the bad crew, right? Like, you feel like, oh, you want to be in the cool bad club, but you didn't do it. And then there's some of you, you think it's unfair. Well, you know, just follow the rules next time. It's perfectly fair. You know, you were asked a simple question. You couldn't give a simple answer. I can't be held responsible for that.

'''Brad:''' Nice, nice. So, um, we had a great sponsor last week, our good friends at Pinch LA. They, they, uh, did a giveaway for the episode. The giveaway is closed. And they've picked the winners. So, uh, without me reading last names, hopefully Jonathan, Lisa, Devin, Natalie, and Colton all receive emails from Pinch LA.

'''Myke:''' Because that's, they're not regular names. I'm going to give the first letter of the surname. All right. Jonathan, Y, Lisa, S, Devin, G, Natalie, D, Colton, B. They are the winners. Obviously, you will be contacted by Pinch LA. But I just don't want everyone with the name Jonathan, which I expect is quite a few listeners, to think, did I win? You know?

'''Brad:''' Yeah, I know. I know. That's, that's the hang up without, uh, giving up the opsec, right? Yeah, exactly. So hopefully they have had some, uh, contact made, I'm sure. Uh, if not, um, don't email me. We'll email you because you may not be the, the Jonathan Y that actually won. So.

'''Myke:''' What I think is kind of fun is I do not recognize any of these names immediately. I do.

'''Brad:''' I do. Uh, you do.

'''Myke:''' You know everyone. You're a man of the people. I'm a man of the ivory tower.

'''Brad:''' Yeah. Speaking of man of the people, one of, uh, my longtime Twitch followers, Bork Ben Bork, uh, AKA Jacob, um, did a really epic breakdown of episode 500. Okay. Um, and basically did an accounting of the brands and the products of the episode. There is a full spreadsheet of this, Myke. I don't know if you've had a chance to look at the spreadsheet. Um, you don't really need to look at the spreadsheet other than to see the times that, uh, people made the list from the multiple things that they mentioned, or, uh, there were a few category categories on the list and we, uh, I have cleared it with Jacob. We were allowed to share the list, but let me give you the breakdown of some of the data that Jacob found in this list. All right. You're ready. So he says, while listening to episode 500, I did some compiling and have a tally of the favorite stationary items submitted, not the cleanest, but the survey sent out a few weeks ago, meaning the, the, uh, Slack survey, the Pinax Slack survey inspired me to take a data analyst projects. I find interesting into my own hands. So here's a brand count from the brands that were mentioned. So the top 10 brands, Myke, um, pilot 37 mentioned 37 times. So these are the mentions sailor, a distant second at 14. So pilot pilot 37 at the top. The next one, sailor and Lamy both had 14 Parker, which we'll have a comment on that in a minute. 13, TWSB 12, Hobonichi eight, Montblanc seven, Pelican six, Visconti and Schaefer, both with five, um, big, I, when we did the recap of the Slack survey, the pilot thing started to make a lot of sense to me. Right. And we discussed that and it bears out in this, um, kind of, kind of data point as well. You know, this is, you know, just more of a random sampling, but the data bore out. Do you have any, any thoughts on the continuation of seeing that? Uh, with pilot.

'''Myke:''' Well, not anymore.
