Black Friday calls for black cats!

November 21, 2019

There's a LOT to get to this week, so I'll try to be as brief as possible. First and most importantly, it's Black Friday!

I mean, not the real Black Friday — that's next week — but as far as Boredwalk is concerned, it's ON! So here are the important discounts you can take advantage of to save on your holiday shopping this weekend:

• BFCM10 will save you 10% on any order.
• BFCM15 will save you 15% on orders of $50 or more.
• BFCM20 will save you 20% on orders of $100 or more.

Clicking on those links will automatically apply those discounts to your cart, but you're welcome to also manually type them in or copy/paste them at checkout if you're not sure which one you want to use just yet.

These codes WILL self-destruct at 11:59PM on Monday November 25th, so if you're operating within a budget this holiday season, PLEASE don't wait until next Friday. These are our deepest discounts of 2019, and I do mean it when I say these codes expire at midnight on Monday. If you're not operating within a budget...must be nice.

OK! Two other items to get to before we all hang out together in podcast land:

1. We now have a wishlist feature! On any product page on our site, just click the blue 'Wishlist It!' button below the Add To Cart button to add that item to your personal wishlist. You can create multiple lists, and even share them with friends on social or send them via email if you think you can successfully convince other people to buy you stuff!

2. We now have an Ambassador Program! This is a fantastic way to help Boredwalk reach more people (especially since Facebook & Instagram ads apparently don't work anymore) while also saving 10% on Boredwalk merch, earning a 20% commission when you send orders our way, and even earn free Boredwalk merch!

That's it! Now on to the podcast! This week we dress down some sloppily-dressed politicians, vent about the office park property manager, discuss the likelihood that our recording studio is haunted, share a customer review, and read fan comments from this week's Question of the Day posts! Enjoy!

As I mention in the episode, we're undecided as to whether we'll record an episode next week — it really depends on feedback from YOU...which must be submitted in the form of an iTunes review. Given how steadfastly I've implored our listeners to leave us iTunes reviews to absolutely no avail, my magic 8 ball isn't very bullish on the prospect of us recording next week...but if even ONE person asks us to (again, via iTunes review), we'll do it. The ball's in your court! Until next time...

Peace, love, and mashed potatoes,

Matt

Boredwalk Community: The Curse of Eternal Hiccups

November 19, 2019

Welcome to our weekly Boredwalk Community series, where we ask Boredwalk fans fun questions! This week we're talking to Amanda J. of Orlando FL, showing off an Antisocial Butterfly Shirt.

1. What's your actual day job and what's your dream day job?

Actual job: Behavior Specialist
Dream job: Professional Wine Taster (Ed. note: I've been struggling as an amateur for decades...)

2. If you could have any super power what would it be and why?

I'd be a jumper so I could travel through time and space while sipping wine.

3. You can curse your nemesis with a minor annoyance for eternity; what do you choose?

Eternal hiccups...actually, I'm not sure I could do that to anyone. (You're a much kinder person than I, then. I've got a hiccup-enemies list a mile long, and I'd curse them all without hesitation. But good on you for being a decent human being!)

4. What's the most useful piece of advice you've ever received?

My mom always told me "Just do the best you can do — that's all anyone can expect from you." (Ed. note: she sounds like a smart cookie.)

5. What's a life pro tip the rest of the Boredwalk community needs to know?

Although glasses make people look smarter...they literally had to FAIL a test to get them. (Touché!)

6. Where can the rest of the Boredwalk community find you?
