Editing The Pen Addict 138/transcript (section)

== Knives ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes. We are branching out. And we have a non-pen-related guest, but as a totally pen-related guest. And this is something that you and I have talked about and all our listeners are into. And it's the man behind Everyday Commentary, Mr. Tony Skullembreen. How are you, Tony? Hi, Brad. I'm good. Well, thanks for joining us. We really, really appreciate you coming on. And we're going to pick your brain to death, and you're going to laugh at us today with all the dumb everyday carry questions we have for you.

'''Anthony Sculimbrene:''' Nah. Anything's good. Anything's good.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, you're going to school us today. That's the plan. And, you know, me and Myke have been talking, and Myke even mentioned it, I think when we did our bag dump episode, Myke, you were something, and you wanted to know, we need to talk about knives sometime.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, I wanted to talk about knives because...

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I was actually shocked to hear you say that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, just because there seems to be this, like, crossover. We'll talk about this. But it seems to be this, like, crossover between pen nerds and knife nerds. So, like, I don't want one, but I'm just interested in understanding. Like, I don't have, like, a real desire to buy a knife, but I just want to understand, like, what is the kind of the correlation between pen nerds and knife nerds. And also, like, I'm more interested, you know, I spoke about in my resolution, one of my resolutions for this year is to kind of to perfect my everyday carry. So, Tony is the man.

'''Anthony Sculimbrene:''' Well, I don't know about that, but I can help you. My job here is to proselytize and hopefully convince you that you should carry a knife.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I feel like... I don't know what kind of the laws around that kind of stuff are here, really.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, that's something we'll definitely talk about because I have questions about that, too.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Okay.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And Tony's a lawyer, so he can answer all of these questions, right, Tony?

'''Anthony Sculimbrene:''' No, actually, the one thing I would have to say is I probably can't legally give out any advice. I could say, like, consult your local knife laws, consult a lawyer, but I would get in trouble if I gave out, like, actual legal advice. So I could give you advice about, like, steal choices, but I probably couldn't, like, solve your search and seizure problems.

'''Myke Hurley:''' If consult your local knife laws is not the title for this episode, I don't know what's going to be the title for this episode. Because that is, like, just incredible. Consult your local knife laws. That is so amazing. Yeah.

'''Anthony Sculimbrene:''' It's a disclaimer I have to put on, like, all different kinds of stuff, you know, because, like, every state in the United States has a different set of knife laws. And then ordinances, local town ordinances are different. So, like, you'll go into a town that'll have, like, Boston or New York City has especially restrictive knife laws. And so you could be in upstate New York and catch a train and board the train with something legal and exit the train with something illegal. So it's complicated. That's, like, the big disclaimer I always have to put on stuff that I write. Like, consult your local knife laws.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' This is going to be an amazing episode.

'''Anthony Sculimbrene:''' So nerdy.
