Editing The Pen Addict 197/transcript (section)

== Atlanta Pen Show ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So we're going to do a bit of a Atlanta pen show primer today later on in the show. But it's sandwiched in between a bunch of great little pen topics. And we have some Anna expert questions at the end of the show. Yes, those were the best. But first off, I need to declare my hate for Brad Dowdy. We may actually not get to episode 200 if he continues being the person that he is. So a couple of days ago, I saw a tweet fly by from Kevin Rose. Kevin Rose is a hero of mine. He was the first podcast that I ever listened to or watched. He was a part of it. Dignation. He ran Dig, which I loved. And he's an investor. He's really just a fantastic person in my eyes. I see a tweet that says, At Dowdyism, any interest in coming on my podcast, DM me. And I can't even tell you the words that I sent to Brad in Slack.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, even the Slack bot was not happy with you, I don't think.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' No, no. We have a language filter there. And the Slack bot gets very angry if we start swearing. And I was using some of the worst words possible.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So I have used this to my advantage at every turn with Myke.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Keith's bringing it up.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Keith's bringing it up. Yeah, so Kevin and I set it up. He actually turned it around really quick. What was that, like Friday? I think that he tweeted me on Friday. And so I DM'd him. And he said, well, how about tomorrow morning? And I couldn't do it Saturday morning. And I said, I'm wide open on Sunday. He said, okay, great, Sunday. So I was like, wow, this is quick. And it went really well. So me and Kevin had a nice chat. As I told Myke, I just call him Rose now. We're on that level. We're buddy buddies like that. I call him Rose. He calls me Dowdy. And we're tight like that now. And Myke loves that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Is he coming to the pen show? Is he going to stand on your table and help sell your goods? Is he going to do that? That'd be okay by me.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That'd be okay by me. But no, but if I ever get up to NYC, maybe I'll have to see if I can take him on the NYC stationary tour, which he wanted to talk about because he's up in New York now and didn't know all the cool places he could go get all the stationary that we're talking about. So it was good. I don't know when it's going to be released. I think he's got a new project with this newsletter and this podcast. It's separate from the other things he's doing. And I think I know the newsletter is only monthly. So I don't know if the podcast is tied in with that as well. Only once a month.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' But so it's a little tricky to actually subscribe to the podcast. So I've put a link in the show notes to a website that Kevin set up for his email newsletter called the journal dot email. You can go there. And I think if you sign up, you get an email which has a link to the podcast. But if you just search in your podcast app, so in iTunes or Overcast or Pocketcast or whatever you use for the journal Kevin Rose, you'll be able to subscribe. There's one episode in that feed so far. And I assume that within the next couple of weeks, I'll just be straight up deleting episode two, which has Brad Dowdy. I'm very genuinely I was I'm incredibly jealous, like incredibly jealous. I am so excited and proud because this is like crazy. Kevin Rose is like the man. This is pretty crazy. It's legitimately crazy.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Like I'm interested to see what comes out of this. Not that I'm looking for anything, but I'm just more anxious. Like his newsletter's got 30,000 subscribers on it. So, you know, if I get a link in there, that's that's pretty strong.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And we also hit it. We also got a couple other weird just random.
