== Pen Delivery Process ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' I would like to thank everybody involved, even though I'm actually not 100% sure who they are. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't think I ever told you because I don't think you've ever communicated with them like you would know necessarily who it is. But even still, I would normally pass the name on, which I don't think I did in this case. The way these things work, the reason why I don't mind doing this is because I'll tell you, hey, Myke, I can get the thing. And your answer is always yes or always no. It's not give me a few days and we'll figure it out. But it's yes, do it or no thanks.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm a man who knows what he wants. And that makes my life easy. You know? I know what I want. When I want things, I want them. If I don't want them, I don't want them.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' The only issue this time is I'm dealing with a massive time zone discrepancy. So, you know, messages are going, we're going eight and 10 and 12 hours between replies, right? Just by the way the time zone is working and things like that. So, the pen has been acquired. It will be handed off. This pen is going to, might travel more than you have this year. But it will get to you hopefully in the next week or two. So, we're working on that. But the pen has been purchased. It is in hand and it will begin its travels within the next week.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Okay.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Are you excited? I'm excited for you, actually.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm very excited, actually.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm vicariously excited for you.

'''Myke Hurley:''' This pen will sit very highly on, I think, my best looking Pro Gear list. Which is a very strong list, I think, at this point.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right, right. I agree with that. Yeah, it's a wonderful pen. And I'm excited on your behalf. Quick correction before we get into the hot topics this week of the show. For some reason, on last week when I was talking about Bill Gates' favorite pen, and I know completely about this pen because I used it for years and years, I called it the Pilot Elite. And I really don't know why. It's one of those things I'm struggling with. And I didn't realize it during the show. A lot of times I'll realize it like right after I said something that I've made a mistake or Chad will chime in and say, oh, you screwed that one up. And I all of a sudden got like three emails that evening about what I said. I was like, oh, wow, did I really do that? But it's the Uniball Deluxe. And I should know this very well because it is one of the gateway pens that led me down this path of the pen addict. But the Uniball Deluxe in micro blue was a pen that I searched for and hunted for for years. So it was interesting to see Bill Gates using it, even though I completely butchered the brand and model number. I guess I elite and Deluxe are like those fancy upscale names like they try to put on their $3 pens, you know, to make them look executive type. And I just got my wires crossed on that one. I felt I felt kind of bad after I got all the email. So but thank you listeners for correcting me on that and shame on me. Whoops.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right. I know. I know. It happens. You know, when you talk about. I think we should just blame the chat room, though, because they didn't correct you. Or I didn't see it. Like, I don't always stare at the chat room either.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So usually when you make a glaring mistake, they will continue to tell us until you correct. Yes. So I'm going to say that this one was 100 percent on our chat room, which, by the way, if you ever wonder, what is the chat room? We record this show live pretty much every Wednesday at 10 a.m. Eastern time. There's some slight changes. But whenever we do make changes, we tend to update them on the Relay FM calendar, which is also where you can go to listen to the show, which is relay.fm slash live. Or, you know, we do. You can follow at underscore Relay FM. And whenever we do go live, the show tweets out. So you can come and join us. And we have a chat room there full of many regulars and a bunch of one-timers as well. People jump in and out. You should come and hang out because it's a fun way. There's always a little bit of action before and after the show as well. So you tend to get some stuff. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Like we had a little topic conversation for like two, three minutes after last week's episode. So, you know, it just happens sometimes. There's one of those fun things we do that you can catch live if you want to get the show early. So, yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. And you do get the show a couple of hours early.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Mm-hmm.
