== Ink Flow ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't know.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Because I don't like the little –

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's probably, honestly, too – it's probably an additional seal mechanism, right? Because there's some ink. The ink will transverse those two sections of the pen right there.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So maybe it has to do something with the ceiling. That's the only thing I can think of.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So I have never held a pen like this in my life. And you've tried to put this into words before.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And I can't do any better a job than you. Yeah, it's really hard. This – it's so strange. It feels like – and this doesn't sound nice. But it feels like – I was going to say a living thing, but that's not what I mean. A thing from nature.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes. That's a good way to put it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Like, it feels like – I don't know, like the texture of it. And I get what you mean about the warmth. It seems to take body heat. This is an incredible pen.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. It totally gets warm. Hey, and Pig Palm in the chat is totally right. That's where that ring – it has the two flanges that stick outside the barrel. And that's where the cap clicks. That's exactly right.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's what that is. Okay.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' But the flanges have to sit in their slots. I mean, it's a particular orientation that it has to fit in there.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, because I didn't like those little things. But now I accept them because now I love – hang on a second. Listen, guys.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Satisfying click. Yep. It's – yeah, it's – I love it. I've just been distracted by one thing that I forgot to mention. People listening in the chat room, you can suggest titles for this show. And all further titles for this show will come from chat room suggestions. Yes. And the way that you do that is you type the exclamation mark and the letter S and then you press space and you type whatever you want. And typically, people suggest titles from things that we've said. So if you've seen people in the chat room type exclamation mark S and then space, for example, it feels like a living thing, that's somebody suggesting a title. And at the end of the show – so this is only in the live part – once the show's ended, we go in and we pick titles.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Like the leader in the clubhouse is from Ethosophical. We got – you have to squeeze it to get it in there.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Hence – there we go. This is the type of thing that we will have now. We won't – and for people that are listening to the recorded and won't listen live, we won't continue to talk about it like this. It is because it's a new thing. And I should have mentioned that beforehand and I apologize. Yes. So let me continue.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We're just trying to get everyone on the same page.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Let me continue talking about this, Pen. So –

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, because it sounds like you like it a little bit.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So I know that you mentioned nib issues and I'm concerned that you've scared some people off. Sure. But I feel like you were doing the right thing. You were giving your account. Yeah. But we've had a few people get in contact with us on Twitter and they said that they've had no problems. And I want to reiterate that if you do have problems, I'm sure that the guys at Pen Chalet will try and help you out. Oh, no doubt. But this thing is – it's – I have not used it enough that I feel like I can make this claim and be 100% accurate. But it's potentially the smoothest pen I've ever used. I have – I have –

'''Brad Dowdy:''' What nib did you get?

'''Myke Hurley:''' A medium. Okay. It's like writing on glass but in a good way. Like it's effortless. I gave it to my girlfriend to try and her eyes lit up. She was like, oh, this is so smooth. I was like, yeah, it's really nice and it's mine.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm not taking this one. Yeah, because this is – I love this pen so much. I genuinely do. Do you know one other thing I love about it? The clip has like a little spring mechanism in it. So, you can press down so the clip comes away from the body and it clips the things.
