Editing The Pen Addict 542/transcript (section)

== Gift guide selections and corrections ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' You submitted your answers. Did I? To the gift guide segments, yes.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, I have some corrections that I would like to make.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Are you sure? You forwarded those to me in a document. This is lies. You edited the document. This is lies. This is absolute lies. So, I don't, like, are you taking back what you said?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. So, I wouldn't have gone with the Montagrappitude and Kamun. Are you sure? Are you sure? I would have chosen a Mark I. That's what I would have gone with. Okay.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Mark I was on the list. I couldn't quite work that one in.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I wouldn't have gone with the, um, that, what ink do you want with Fuyugaki for me, right? Yeah. Come on. I wouldn't have chosen that one. I would have gone with one of the pilot inks. I don't remember the number off the top of my head. It's the gray one, which is also got the pink in there. You mean the Sailor, the Sailor. Yeah. The Sailor one would like, it's got like the gray one with the pink and the green in it. I would have picked that one. I don't know. Do you remember which one that is?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. No, I do. I do. But it's a great color. But like, I mean, you were gone for, for two weeks and like, now you're just spouting all this nonsense.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I would have picked the Sinclair even though I don't own one.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Cause I still love my old Sinclair. So you would have got that one right. And you are correct. Both of you are correct. I would have picked the theme system journal in every category that it could have applied in. So you got that right at least.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I told Anna I was going to do this and I was just like, I'm just going to do this. And like, I don't even care.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So I'll tell you how I knew this happened. I hadn't listened to the episode yet because it was being edited, but you sent me the links, right? Yeah. And I was adding the URLs to the CMS and I worked out what you'd done. Just by saying, it was when I saw the Tutankhamun, I was like, hang on a minute. And then I started looking through it. I was like, oh, I see what's going on here.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I was pretty proud of myself on that one. Very funny. I love you, Myke. Hey, it's got 541 episodes, which I misspoke last week that we can still have this much fun talking about pens.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I mean, I think that says a lot. Jim tidied that up. No one will know about your mistake until now.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, it was brutal. This is what Brad does when he has to be in charge for a week at a time. Because when I start recording things out of order, I just look at my Ulysses note files. Like, each podcast has a note in there. So, I would just pick up, okay, so the last episode I recorded was 539, right? So, I just called this one 540, even though I was, we had already recorded 540.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You did it today. So, at the top of our document today, it said episode 541, and I've just changed it to 542, which is the correct episode number.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, I had the doc title correct. I didn't have the internal title correct. So, welcome back, Myke, to Brad's, Brad screws up everything. How was your vacation?

'''Myke Hurley:''' It was perfect. Wonderful vacation, but rip-roaring, ready to go for the rest of this episode. I know. There's some great stuff in today's show.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, this is a, this is a very standard issue pen addict show. Kind of turned up to 11 with some of the topics we're going to talk about. Just, we're going to talk about a lot of new topics. You know, when all it takes is for one of us to go away for a week to have a bunch of new releases or new, you know, just fun stationary news, right? And I can't think of anything better to lead off with than the shown design Monarch nib, Myke. Had you seen any teasers of this? Probably not. You've actually been kind of gone a little bit, and I don't think we've spoken about it specifically before. So, give me your initial thoughts when you were, when you were checking this out. If you'd seen it before, what do you think about it?
