Editing The Pen Addict 607/transcript (section)

== Discussion of Posca markers and their artistic applications ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' P-O-S-C-A. What is that? That's their marker and paint pen lineup. Right. So, if you just do a search for Posca, like, on Instagram, you'll just be inundated with, like, beautiful, beautiful artwork, right? So, in the Instagram community, I guess I could see why the Fineliner wins, right? Because that's where this poll is at. And they're doing their poll through Instagram stories. And they really lean... You've got to consider your audience, you know? Yeah. They really lean into that audience because it's so visual, right? Like, much more so than the Curitoga, right? Like, what's really visually appealing about the Curitoga.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, you weren't kidding. There's some great art when you just search the word Posca.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. So, that's a whole thing. So, I could see it's, like, the fish in the barrel thing. It's, like, yeah, well, I guess maybe the Fineliner should win if I was considering the source and the location of this poll. But I'm really shocked because I thought the Curitoga would just take down the whole thing. Because it's such a unique, interesting pencil product. So, I totally get that. So, but that one caught me off guard. And just to nail down the final four, we have the Vision Elite, which is not a surprise. We have the Standard Jetstream, which is not a surprise. We have the Gel Impact, which is not a surprise given the pins that it was up against. I don't know. So, it's probably going to be Fineliner versus, hmm, Vision Elite or Jetstream. I think it might be Fineliner versus Vision Elite. Fineliner might take this whole thing down. Now that it's beaten the Curitoga, let's just take it to the house, right?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, you say all of this, but basically what I feel like is we can't trust you here. We can't be trusted, so.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm just very singular-sided for what I want. So, you can trust that I'm probably wrong.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm not lying. I'm just probably wrong. I think there's a difference.

'''Myke Hurley:''' No, no, it's not trust as in, like, you're deceiving us, but, like, we just can't trust your odd making.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes. I would not. If I was a bookmaker, I would be in bankruptcy, yes.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Sorry about that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Sorry. My apologies. You never know. The wisdom of the crowds is always right, right?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay. With that bit of fun out of the way, let's get into some more fun.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Wow. Just fun out of the fun. Man, today.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' This is all fun. This is the more serious entrant. Maybe the one serious topic to talk about today, but we're going to have fun with it. Uniball, this is literally the Uniball show today, apparently. So, Uniball has introduced the Jetstream Light Touch Inc.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And this has me very, like, spun up on what is happening, what are they doing, what are they making, in a very positive way, right? Like, not in a bad way. Not in a, oh my gosh, what are you doing? But in a, okay, this is new. This is interesting. This is the stuff that gets me excited. This is why I led the show with, this is why I love my job. Because we were talking about this on stream yesterday, and I'm just fascinated by this, right? Like, this is what gets me going. If listeners want to know what excites me about stationery, it's something as, what could be seen as simple is a new Jetstream Inc.
