Editing The Pen Addict 254/transcript (section)

== Guest Appearances ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' So, we had amazing guests, didn't we? I loved having Vito and Jonathan on the show. They were fantastic. I want to have Mr. Brooks back again in the future because I feel like we just scratched the surface of what it takes to build pens the way that he does, right? I feel like there's so many other things. We're going to talk a little bit later on in the show about his Arushi work, and we didn't even talk about that at all in our interview. So, there's a lot left there. We'll have to have him back on again in the future.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, I mentioned to him before the show that I do want to be prepared to tell us the basics, but I want to get really technical with him, and that wasn't the time or place to do that. No, everyone's falling asleep in the audience. It gets hot in that room. But, yeah, I would listen back this morning, and both Vito and Jonathan are straight-up pros. They nailed it, right? So good. Right out the bat. So, thanks to those guys for taking time out of their busy schedules to join us for that, and I think it went wonderfully. I really, really loved it. I listened again this morning, like I said, and just laughed and giggled and learned something. Once again, every time I listen to it, I learn more because you don't really necessarily get to listen as well as you'd like to when you're conducting the show. Exactly.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, I'll just say, if you haven't listened to the episode, because it may be, this episode might bump the next episode out of your feed, right? Yeah. Because we're publishing so quickly. So, if you haven't listened, make sure you go back and check out episode 253, which was recorded live from the Atlanta Pen Show.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, because you flew that thing right out into the ether, like within, what, within two hours after we were done?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, I don't even think it was that long. Me and Stephen were working on it. It was great. He got it all set up and then handed it over to me, and I just did some checks and some tweaks, and we got it out. Honestly, I think it was out within an hour of us finishing. We were willing to get it out, like especially something like that. Like, you know, we're doing the live feed, and people know it's happening. You know, I don't want us to sit on it, you know? Right. And we work really hard when we do this stuff to get them out quickly, even more so with the live shows than the regular shows. Plus, because live shows are easier to edit, because you don't need to go through and do a bunch of stuff, right? Like, you don't have to go and cut out a bunch of words, because you can't.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right, and it's not the, you have built-in background noise, so you accept it, whereas it would be jarring on this episode, right? If something happened in the background on that episode, it's natural.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep, exactly. And we don't talk over each other so much, either, because you can look people in the eyes.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes, yeah. And we do still have the video coming for that, and I can't wait for that. It's going to be pretty cool. And Stephen and Mark are pros. They do a great job. Oh, they're amazing. The Hackett brothers. They hook us, like, seriously hook us up big time with what they do. And Stephen was already screenshotting me, like, amounts of data that they captured. Huge amounts. And he says, yeah, like, 4K data is hard. So, yeah, so look for some 4K resolution video coming to you soon for all of our Kickstarter backers. Yep. Mid-May, late May, something like that. No immediate time frame, but those guys do such a great job, and they turn it around, actually, very quickly for what it is. So, two, three weeks, maybe, on the early end, then late May, late end.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It might be even sooner.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, sweet. Yeah, they're on it. So, I really appreciate all their hard work.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, they're the best. They really are the best. As I said, we couldn't do it without them. There's no way we would be able to get that video done at the quality that we can get it done. Zero chance that would happen. A couple of iPhones.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, yeah. My iPhone on a Gorillapod, staring at one person's face. It'd be great. Yeah, absolutely great. Oh, gosh.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So, you know, at the show, I carried around one pin pretty much the entire time because I'd just gotten it right before, and I know a bunch of people were asking about it. I had the Lamy Petrol, the new Safari color, and yours didn't quite make it in.
