Editing The Pen Addict 102/transcript (section)

== Pen Quiz Answers ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So I want to point out a couple that I got a kick out of.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Roel, I guess Roel, R-O-E-L. He and the questions he answered. And I'm sorry you didn't read Roel, because I'm going to still talk about you. So I want to read these questions and the answers that we did. And I can just kind of, I'm like picturing his face as he's filling out this form. So what are the pins that shall not be named? Gosh, these are hard already. The Pilot G2? I know Myke likes that one, or at least he used to.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' What pin would you sign a birth certificate with? Oh, I honestly missed that one. Jetstream or Uniball DX? Brad mentioned those as a solid go-to from time to time. You can tell he listens. He's totally trying. He says, what is Brad's all-time favorite Field Notes Color release? I know this one. It's a grass green letter-pressed edition of some sort, right? See? He knew it. He knew it. He says, what is the brand of Myke's iPad notebook case? I have no idea. This is getting to be really sad. I promise I started about four weeks ago listening to perhaps every third episode from the beginning. He's like trying to explain while he's missing all these now. It's like he's got into it. He's like, I'm too deep in now. Like, I can't back out.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I have to start apologizing.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' He says, Myke has missed two episodes of the show. Name one person who filled in for him. Anna, right? From the desk?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, that was right. Good answer.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And, what pin tops Brad's wish list for 2014? I lose. I don't know. He likes micro tips and the high tech C, but I can't say. I know this one. Uniball as a brand? Sad.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, we had lots of fun answers like that. I mean, people, you know, that's why we weren't going to, it was not graded at all on whether you got the answers right, but that you showed some effort and had just kind of a concept of what the show is about. And someone like Roel, you know, who hasn't listened to everything, he just, he killed all those answers. I thought that was just really funny. And then we got, you know, we got a lot of people trolling me on the field notes one with Shelterwood, which a lot of people got a lot of kicks out of that. Some people were like hyper exact, giving out the exact episode numbers where we talked about the questions. Wow. We had several people do that where in episode 21 was the, the pins that shall not be named one episode. So, there were several people who did that, which was kind of impressive. That caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting that at all. We had lots of Rotor Faden, Tash and Big Leiter, interesting spellings there.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Some people just wrote, what, I forget the name of it, but someone just wrote 75 consonants. They just wrote that down.

'''Myke Hurley:''' There was probably quite a lot of like the German thing.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes. A lot of the German, that's that German one. I don't know how to spell. So, Toffer, on the, on the field notes trolling, he said, America, the beautiful or something else that isn't as good as Shelterwood. So, I got a lot of those.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And, oh, and, and Toffer's, the, the fill-in guest. He says, not Toffer.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' He said, he should get Merlin fill-in one day to yell at everyone and get all angry. And then, what pin brand tops Brad's wish list for 2014? Again, from Toffer, I honestly don't care. He doesn't like Shelterwood. His taste is probably horrible. It's true, actually. Yeah, that is true. That is true. I'm still feeling pretty good about the whole Shelterwood thing, though, to be honest with you.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm feeling very, I'm pretty good about having used them.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right. So, that was, I just wanted to go with some of these fun answers, because I got a kick out of them. Yeah. As I was, I was reading these. And there's, there's a lot more out there. But thank you, everyone, for, who took the time to enter this. And, congratulations, winners. Be sure to get in touch. And, yeah, we're definitely, we're not going to spoil this. I hope, I hope everyone listens. And then maybe in a few days, we'll reach out to, to the winners and say, hey, by the way, have you listened to episode 102 of the Pen Addict podcast? You might want to.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, our, our t-shirts were a big hit too. Can you believe we sold 149 t-shirts?

'''Myke Hurley:''' I honestly was, I, I don't know what I was more surprised about, selling 149 t-shirts or getting 600 responses to the, to the quiz. But, to every single, I think it's a t-shirt. Yeah, I think so too, actually. To every single person who bought a t-shirt, thank you so much. Because, um, that actually ended up being something that I didn't think it was going to be. And that has, uh, definitely plumped up my pen budget for the rest of the year. So, thank you for all for doing that. It's actually genuinely supported both of us.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes. Yeah. That's a, that's a big deal that you guys, um, chose to, to purchase that t-shirt. That really helps Myke and I out, um, put on this show. And, uh, thank you all so much for doing that. It was, that, that definitely blew my mind more than the 602 responses to the, yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Cause I didn't expect that, but you bought so many that it actually became significant. So, thank you so much to everyone that, that bought a t-shirt. Yeah. And if, you know, if you wanted one and couldn't get one, for whatever reason, we still appreciate the thought, you know?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. And, you know, maybe there'll be a chance, you know, uh, down the line, we might do something else. We'll have to see. I mean, I would, this one,

'''Myke Hurley:''' this one was done as like a last minute idea that I had a couple of days before the show. And I really wanted to do something fun for like the, the, the, you know, the, the people that listen, which is why we did the kind of jokey thing, but I would like to do a more, uh, designed and styled t-shirt at some point in the future. So we will definitely, if you, if you missed out, we will do another, another show at some point. Um, definitely not as orange.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, definitely not as orange, not as orange. That was, that was just part of the, the whole running, uh, whole running theme and just having fun and, uh, commemorating the episode. So that was the other reason I admit, it meant something to us. So, uh, we did it that way.

'''Myke Hurley:''' The t-shirt was kind of three jokes in one, which was another reason why I didn't think with so many, but we did. So thank you. Thank you so much.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right. So that, that's a wrap on our, on our big episode 100 giveaway special. Um, it was, it was well worth it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's gone on for so many weeks. I'm kind of sad that, that it's, it's over. Yeah. Yeah. I need to look on now. But I have a little piece of followup. So do you remember I mentioned about night sky? Yep. And then I had a mysterious benefactor get in contact with us.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Like you didn't have, you didn't get as many as you wanted, like originally. So they sold out, right?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Our mutual friend and just general benefactor in kind, Mr. Thomas Hall. Wow. Got in contact with me and, uh, Tom sent me nine packs, nine, three packs.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I think there was a break in, uh, field notes headquarters. And, uh, Mr. Hall ran out with arms full of, basically, he explained to me the reason. Cause I was like, one, why are you willing to give me all of these? And two, why do you have them all? And basically, uh, Mr. Hall really wanted a black field notes. That was what he wanted. Um, and the grid system was nice, but wasn't necessarily what he wanted. So when they released pitch black, he bought those instead. Cause it's black of a regular grid rather than like the crosshair grid. Yep. So he bought, bought a bunch of packs cause he knew it was a book that he wanted, but then he didn't get to use them all because they released pitch black and he just bought those instead. And then we can get those like forever potentially. So, uh, I now have a, a box showed up full of them. And also a Tomo river paper, a five notebook, which I'm yet to try out. So, uh, that's awesome. And also I now have like six packs of shelter wood as well. Cause all of those have shown up. Nice. So I am, I am full of field notes right now, even more than usual.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You are loaded up. Yeah. I didn't know Thomas had that big of a field notes problem. That's pretty awesome.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I think I have a significant field notes problem. Yeah. I'm looking around my desk, Brad, and there it's seriously, there are just piles. And I actually mean piles of, of field notes books like in cellophane. I mean, I go through about one a month at this rate. I'm never going to get through them. Yeah. It just won't be possible. Even if field notes goes out of business in like 20 years, I will have more than, than I will ever need, but I can't help it because I love them so much. Oh, the video, the video. Did you see the video? They have any video?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' A new one?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' For what?

'''Myke Hurley:''' For 2013 seasonal additions, America, the beautiful night sky and drink local.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh no, I'll have to go check it out. Cause I know I've seen some people linking them. I saw all of a sudden a few links going to the field notes, you know, about how they went through every edition. I didn't realize that was a new one. So cool. I will check that out.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'll put it in the show notes, which are five by five. Dot TV slash pen addict slash one zero two.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Cool. That sounds great. I'm, I will have to go watch that tonight. Now. Yep. All right. Well, we got a, we got a big show. We got a big show, not just from the giveaway stuff, but we had the, I had the Atlanta pen show this past weekend and it was epic. So, um, I want to talk about that. So, um, let's talk about our new best friend. Pen Chalet,
