Editing The Pen Addict 296/transcript (section)

== Bung Box Sailor ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Exactly. People know. People know. All right, so, something big happened. We have to just address this immediately.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Besides the L.A. Pen Show, which we're going to talk in full about later on this episode, but this is even bigger news, I think, at least for you, than the L.A. Pen Show.

'''Myke Hurley:''' There is a new Bung Box Sailor Pink Limited Edition.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I couldn't believe this led our show when I opened up the document. I'm just going to be honest with you. Why? But I understand why because...

'''Myke Hurley:''' I've been talking about it incessantly for like a month.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, and I've been dogging you for equally as long, and then they come out with this? That's kind of unreal. This is worse, though. This makes it worse.

'''Myke Hurley:''' How so? How am I going to get one of these? Right? Right? Like, so, the thing is, is like the previous ones, they were all sold, and I didn't really care when they were sold, so it's like, well, that's my own fault. I couldn't get it. Now I have a new one, and it's limited to like a hundred, so it's half of the amount of last time. No, no, I think the last one was a hundred, wasn't it? Well, okay, so the translation says it's half. So, I mean, but the translation is the translation, so who knows what it means. Sure, whatever. So, like, the translation says, we will start selling at the... So, it's an Instagram post. It's a post on Instagram. We will start selling at the mail magazine of the day after tomorrow, 18 o'clock. Please wait a little more. There is no sample in the shop this time. The number will also be 100, half of the previous one. Thank you.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, it's on order, right? Based on that information.

'''Myke Hurley:''' How, you know, like, how do you... So, what I did was, I have emailed them, and that's as far as I've gotten. Because in their Instagram post, they said, like, thank you for your inquiry. Please email us at bung at bungbox.com. So, I've emailed them and told them, I literally said, I will pay any price.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Whatever it takes to get that pen to me, I will pay it. So, we'll see.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Did you name drop me?

'''Myke Hurley:''' No, I didn't do that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You should have. Like, there's no... Like, I'm not a do-you-know-who-I-am person or a name-drop person. This is one where it would have been worth your while to do that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I know. See, I thought about it, because all I... You know, I figured all I needed to do, really, was, you know, mention the pen addict, right? Like, I've just figured that... But I just said my name and left it at that. I really don't like to do that stuff.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't either. I never do it. But this would have been one time where I would have done it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, I figured I could have gotten away with it this time, right? Like, it would have been accepted. But I didn't. And I'm just gonna wait and see, to see if they get back to me and then go through whatever the rigmarole would be to try and get it. But I've... I'm dying. Especially because over the weekend, you trolling me, sending me pictures of, like, the regular edition, the love edition.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' The first one. Yeah, which I didn't know this new one had come out by the time I trolled you. So I don't know if I did that in advance. You did it before. Yeah, so we were at the tent, which we will get into later at the LA Pen Show. That will make a lot more sense later in the show. And we were all, you know, doing what we do, passing around pens and testing pens. And Kerry was there from Fountain Pen Day in Kenro. And he has one of these. So he had his. I was like, oh, hang on. I need to take a picture of that and send it to Myke. And you cussed at me, and I was happy. So, yeah, my duty was done. This is just... It's torturous. I don't know. I feel like maybe you'll get this one. I don't know.

'''Myke Hurley:''' There's only a hundred of them, though. Right? And, like, it seems like they're doing them to celebrate something. So, yeah, I don't... I very much doubt it. They're celebrating you not getting one. I think that might be the case at this point. All right. But there is another new limited edition that I figured would interest you a lot, which is the Retro 51 Swish All-Star. So they've done a new version of the basketball Retro 51 Tornado, which is basically it's a big shot because it's huge. And it's got, like, the dimples on a basketball, and it's painted up like a basketball. I have the orange one, like the pre-existing orange one. But I think the NBA All-Star game is happening right now. And so I have been able to piece together that the NBA All-Star Bulls are red, white, and blue, and that they're doing that.
