== Podcast Intro ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' From RelayFM, this is The Pen Addict, episode 257. Today's show is brought to you by Harry's and Casper. My name is Myke Hurley, and I am very happy to say, as much as I love having guests on our show, today I'm just joined by Mr. Brad Dowdy.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, I was actually going to comment about that as well. It's going to be nice to talk to you this week, Myke.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I have had an ever-growing list of things that I've been wanting to talk to you about. It's been getting a little bit out of hand.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I was actually surprised the show notes were as short as they were today, even though they're long. I thought it could be really, really crazy. Oh, I have more. Crazy long.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm just saving some stuff.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, good, good, good. But yeah, let's just say our guests were fantastic. We got tons of great feedback on the last two episodes, which were Ryder Carroll from The Bullet Journal and Joey Caffone from Baron Fig. And we got a ton of great feedback on those shows, so thank you for everyone who listened and let us know what they thought about the episodes.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, I was really pleased with how last week's show went. It was, for me, I think especially, a real like, what's going to happen? But it was great.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, just so everyone knows, and I don't think we mentioned it during the show, but when I told you that Joey was coming on after I'd already gotten sideways on Twitter, you're like, I don't, you said, I don't know if that's a good idea. And I was like, I've got it, Myke. Don't worry, I've got it. And so, yeah, your faith was rewarded, I think, in a very good episode.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I always have faith in you. I was just concerned about it being the regular way that we have a guest on the show, right? I don't know what that means. As in, you do all the talking?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, you didn't talk for two weeks, and we actually didn't get any nasty grams this time. Sometimes I get the ones that say, you should let Myke talk more.

'''Myke Hurley:''' No, no, the interviews, they work way better. I mean, we've done this for five years now. When we have a third on the show, it's just way better to just let you talk to them, and then I chip in and press the buttons. That works way better for us, I think.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes, yeah, you're good at that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And then I get to save up all the things I want to talk about for when I finally get my time in the sun again.
