'''Brad Dowdy:''' Absolutely, it's my pleasure. This is one of the highlights of my week.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's very kind of you to say. Very kind of you to say, indeed. I like it because it allows me to verbalise an addiction that I can be proud of, Brad. I can shout it from the rooftops like that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, that's a weird thing, isn't it? Because it's a very personal, internal type topic. Oh, let's see, what pen can I use today? It's not like you're sharing that with the world all the time, unless you have a blog like me. But most people are, yeah, it's a very personal thing. So yeah, it's fun to talk about it with someone else.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yes, indeed it is. So what are we talking about today? What's on the docket?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't know. I'm kind of getting the shakes, Myke. I'm going through a little bit of new pen withdrawal here. Oh, dear. You know, we've talked about, I don't know how much I've talked about it on the air, but I've talked about a little bit about how I'm moving, right? So I've been hesitant to start shipping a bunch of pens to this address, you know, knowing that I'm getting ready to move. If there's some delay or anything like that, you know, I'm within a week of moving, right? And I just keep looking at, you know, jet pens or I've had people send to me, you know, I did a Lamy Tipo review earlier this week and someone sent me a link to aluminum barrel Tipo on Amazon. I'm like, man, should I order that? You know, is it going to get here in time before I move? So, man, I'm shaking, you know, I've got my cart filled up at jet pens and things like that. I'm going through a little bit of withdrawal phase here on new products.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I know the feeling. It feels like many, many weeks, far too many weeks. It feels like years even since I purchased my last pen. It makes me very sad. I think the last stuff I got was the new retros. But I've got my eye on certain things and hopefully over the next couple of weeks I shall be making some purchases of my own.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Do you want to spill the beans? Do you have anything specific you're looking at?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, I'm going to get one of those small retros. I'm going to try that out. Other than that, I mean, you know, I know I've got to continue my retro addiction, right? The retro addiction. I have to keep buying those. I mean, I want to get a couple of those. I'm going to look around some sites and just pick some that look quite cool to me.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And then, you know, I will also go on to jet pens and take a look. I like looking through the popular lists, like the top lists and stuff. Yeah. And, you know, just sort of picking out a few from there. That's what I did with the last time when I bought like a ridiculous amount of stuff. Just going through having a look at some things. I mean, the Lamy, is it the 301? Free something? What is that one? The really expensive one. The Dialogue 3? Dialogue 3. Yeah. The ridiculous amount of money one. I still want that, but I'm not going to buy that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I know, I kind of have a jonesing for another high-end pen.
