Editing The Pen Addict 409/transcript (section)

== Historical Context ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' so here's the game i want to play all right all right so i'm i'm just trying to i as i was writing reading the notes before you came online today just kind of going over them in my head i was like i just had this thought would mike commit to using one color of this j herbon ink this only comes in five colors it's the blue mitosis pearl noir violette uh rouge carubier and vertebracita this is some of their classic ink colors none of which are my favorite at all would you commit to one of these ink colors for the rest of your life if you could get any sailor pen that you wanted so you can get any sailor pen that you want at any time for the rest of your life but the restriction is your only choice is one of these inks all right let me let me understand that

'''Myke Hurley:''' when you say like so i have an unlimited budget of sailor pens yes right forever in the future point i can say i want this one i want this one i want this one and it shows up and it will show up and i can keep them yes but i can only put one of these five inks in them and that's the only i'm allowed to use that is an incredibly difficult question i mean because one like if there was an ink color of these five that i actually like the look of yeah that was good it would be easier but like if you said to me that's a hundred percent why i'm asking this question because the question if the question is mike pick one ink you're only ever allowed to use one ink of your choosing for the rest of your life then i'll be like yeah no problem yep right because all i'll do is i'll pick one ink that i really like and i'll just use that ink forever because but these things they're not that good they're not that good are they no um this is this is much more complicated than which is the point if i okay so am i allowed in this scenario am i allowed to test these inks out before i make the decision to like pick one yeah i think that's reasonable if that's a reasonable ask before you commit it to the one you can try all five of them i feel like i could do it if i got that i got to choose i mean i probably end up with either the gray one or the like so what is that the uh noir noir or the violet one of those two i think i would do it because i mean come on look what you've offered me right right any sailor pen forever i go wild on that but you're stuck with the one ink so all right so i have the same for you then i have the same for you any nakaya you can unlimited nakaya budget for the rest of your life but you gotta have one of these inks

'''Brad Dowdy:''' nah i wouldn't do it which is kind of why i ask because i don't think i would do it like i i i have a lot of inks and i like what they bring to the table as far as what they provide me like i get a lot out of the nakayas right obviously but there's a combination factor that makes me feel things about a pen that i wouldn't feel the same way if i was restricted to one of these five right okay so yeah that's kind of why i put the question because i don't think i would do it and i didn't know what you i really didn't know how you would answer um um like a lot of times we can think of what the other one's thinking but i didn't know how you're going to answer that but i was thinking as i was formulating this is like i don't think i i i wouldn't do it i wouldn't make that choice that's a good question that was fun that's what happens um in the minute the minutes right before the show that wasn't in there yesterday when the doc was created so um i just uh thought about that one of the other things we do mike on this show is we guilt our listeners into things and you really caused a problem last week i'm not gonna lie i'm gonna blame this on you it's

'''Myke Hurley:''' just people's reactions to me like i didn't you know i didn't do it i just lived my life and then people reacted the way that they're gonna react to it you know i can't be blamed for that so good

'''Brad Dowdy:''' good friend and follower in uh twitch supporter aaron tweeted us and it says i'm gonna read this out it says thanks to i mike i felt highly motivated to exercise some of my own demons after listening to the podcast today i probably have another batch this size to clean so aaron has how many pins here we're gonna we'll just ballpark 20 pins here to clean after we heard you discussing the number of pins you know more than 20 you know probably in the 30 to 40 range that you had to clean you made our listeners feel so bad mike that they had to go clean their own collections so how do you feel

'''Myke Hurley:''' about this i think it's great for them you know that they feel that you know that i'm i'm helping
