'''Myke Hurley:''' From RelayFM, this is The Pen Addict episode 238. Today's show is brought to you by Pen Chalet, Squarespace, and Harry's. My name is Myke Hurley. I am joined by Mr. Brad Dowdy. Happy New Year to you, Brad Dowdy.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Happy New Year's, Mr. Hurley. How was your New Year's? How was your Christmas? We haven't talked since right before the holidays kicked off, and I know we were both busy over the holidays, and hope all of our listeners had awesome holidays. How was yours?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Christmas was really nice. It was a nice family affair, and then for New Year's, I travelled out to the US, where I got to surprise some friends when I showed up at a New Year's party that people didn't know was appearing at.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Where was it at? I don't even know this story.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, we went to New York, me and Edina, where we stayed with the Amants for a couple of days, and then we drove down to Virginia to join the Amants and the Underscores, who knew we were coming, to surprise the Syracusers and the Lissers, who didn't know that we were coming. We've been planning this for a couple of months, and yeah, I got to surprise them. And Casey's head exploded, which was the whole point of the surprise.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh my gosh. So, I guess I need to listen to that episode of Analog. I saw there was a very special edition of Analog. That's what it is. It was in relation. Nice.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, by this weekend, there will be an episode of Analog, where me and Casey talk about the trip, and also a vlog episode. We recorded the moment where I surprised them. Oh my gosh. That's too funny. Yeah. People should go and check it out.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You did a good job keeping that secret. I didn't even know that one.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. It was one of those things where I told very few people, because the more people that knew, the more chance of it's like a slip up.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, yeah. For sure.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I actually didn't. I thought I might have told you. I don't even remember who I told.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you told a lot of people something on our last episode, didn't you?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. You know, I was really worried. How'd that work out for you? I was really worried, right? Like, after the episode, I was saying to you, I was like, oh, did I make a mistake here? Like, should I have not said this? Is the entire pen addict audience going to turn against me when I unload my confessions? Because I played the game well, and you didn't play the game well, you know?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, no. I just live a pure life. No, I just live a pure life, Michael.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. No pen secrets over there. I bet. And I have to say, like, there were a few people that said to me that I should hang up my microphone. But mostly, the feedback that we got were people siding with me. So, Pontus, our friend Pontus.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I want to say, siding with you is not entirely accurate. Okay. Sympathizing. Feeling your pain, sympathizing, I think is the right term. Yes.
