the chicken hat. the chicken hat is back. did you miss out on the chicken hat before are you disappointed that you didn’t get one are you still wanting a chicken hat? well i mean so here’s the newsMarco
you too could you can miss out on the chicken hat again!John
listen oh this is on us we’re bad at estimating how many chicken hats we need to to order and it’s because we have to like we have to pay for these up front soMarco
No, it’s because there’s not a lot of data to base our decision on and how many chicken hats we should orderJohn
yeah so and so we have to buy them all up front so we’re like oh these you know it’s expensive and you gotta outlay this money and what if we buy all these chicken hats and nobody wants them now we’re just stuck with it right?so we kept ordering them in increasingly large amounts uh and then our sale ended right and we told people like we’re gonna try to get more as soon as we can.
so we got some more chicken hats this is not part of our regular sales so there’s no member only discount code. like it’s not this is just a one off special things we felt bad because like even after we sold through all our chicken hats more wanted them so we ordered a bunch more that we thought would satisfy the demand of all the people who signed up and said hey tell me when the chicken tell me when the hat is back so i can order it.
we may or may not have done that because i put them on on sale earlier today and i posted on it uh posted about the hats to mastodon i posted to mastodon first and i gave those people first crack at it so uh you’re welcome if you’re following me on mastodon um then i posted on twitter anyway
i feel like we’ve already sold through half of the hats in this episode is just being recorded now. So maybe by the time you hear this, they’re not there.
