Editing The Pen Addict 307/transcript (section)

== Retro 51 Pens ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. It could be a problem. Mm-hmm. You know, that's like me and bags, even though that's a way different price point. It's anything, like, with the addictive type of personalities and the shopping stuff and the new stuff. And, yeah, it can be a problem.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, I was in Austin. And I was actually with Dan and Tom at Studio Neat on the day that their Kickstarter ended. So, that was a lot of fun. And we have an episode of Thoroughly Considered that will be going out this week, which is the show that I do with them. So, you'll be. Recorded live in person? No, no. We recorded it when we were back at home again. Losers. I know. We're the worst. I didn't want to work, you know? I hear you. That's true. Good point. Good point. And they seem to be very excited about this world. The Mark I was their most funded project of all time in dollars.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's actually kind of crazy to me. Yeah. But that makes me feel real good, right? Oh, yeah. Sexy. Told you so, you know? Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, I'm really excited to see what they do next. We were talking. We were talking. They've got ideas, is what I'll say. They have ideas. They have ideas that I am excited to hear more about. But first off, I'm looking forward to seeing how they put this product into production. It is an awesome thing, and I'm really excited for them. So, that's going to be really good to see.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Very cool. I love... That's one of my must-listen-to podcasts. I subscribe to a lot of podcasts. Sometimes I don't listen to every episode. That one, I always listen to every episode because... I'm not surprised. It's a big crossover for me, right? Yeah, it ticks all of your boxes, right? Yep. Yep.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep. So, another thing that ticks all of my boxes, Myke, I got the system. I got the Retro 51. I got the hookup from a friend of the show. Sent me a tweet, and he worked with the dude to ship it to me directly so I didn't have to make two stops and extra shipping. So, it's legit, Myke. It's...

'''Myke Hurley:''' It lands on the way. It's in the post.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. It's the one. It's really awesome. It came out great. I love the style. It's very unique for Retro 51, I think, and just the features that they added and the texture on the orbits of all the planets. Those lines are a little bit textured. I missed on the... When he was selling them at first, the little picture of Pluto outside of orbit. Yeah. I sent him a text yesterday that when my son picked it up, he just goes, Ah, Pluto! Ha, ha, ha, ha! He just started dying laughing at it. I had to text Myke that. I thought that was priceless, so I just giggled. And, yeah, it's really great. I'm really happy with this pen. I think everyone who gets one of these is going to be very, very happy with it. It's definitely worth... Like, this was a definite premium, you know, Retro 51. It's, I don't know, maybe the most expensive regular one that I've bought, I guess. I don't know. I don't really keep up. And it's worth it. I've been using it ever since. I'm using it right now. So, yeah, this is not one to squirrel away. You know, get this bad boy out and use it and enjoy the beauty of it. I'm really, really excited about it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I have, like, one standard kind of or limited, you know, like, Retro 51 that lives on the desk always. That one's going to... Currently, it's the Tiki one. Yeah, yeah. That's a great one. But the system is going to take that spot, I think.
