Editing The Pen Addict 147/transcript (section)

== Retro 51 ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' trying to understand it a little bit more. My retinas are burning. All right, let's move on. Let's get some sweet eye candy going. You got a sweet pen last week. I'm actually kind of jealous of this one. I will never own this pen, but it's a pretty sexy pen. Tell me about it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Why will you never own it?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Just because I'm not a basketball fan that much. If they came out with a baseball version, I would buy it immediately. Oh, yeah, I remember now. Yeah, yeah. It's just not something I'm going to use or want in my collection just because it doesn't fit me. But, yeah, talk about what you got.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I got a new Retro 51. It's called the Swoosh.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Swish. No, it's called... I thought they called it Swoosh.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You could be right. I don't know. On your Instagram page, it says Swish. I might have written that wrong. Okay. I'm now Googling. Googling.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Lots of Googling happening.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' But regardless, it's a sweet basketball-themed Retro 51. Yeah. Their limited edition designs are generally really, really well done, and this one's no exception.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. I don't know if it's Swish or Swoosh, but whatever one it is, it's fantastic. I love it. It's the basketball one, yeah. Yeah. And it's got like this... It's not rubbery. It's like acrylic-y plastic. It's plastic, but it's got like a bubble texture, like a basketball.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, it's got like the grip texture for the basketballs, except not like leather. It's, you know, like you said, plastic acrylic. It just looks so sharp the way they did the lines, and of course, it's, you know, definitely kind of orangish-brown, so that's always good looking.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, but this is a big one. Oh, like large-sized one? It is called the Swish, yeah. So, yeah, it's... Well, like the height of the pen is the same, but it's like... Did you ever have the bamboo one? No. So the bamboo one is slightly bigger, but I don't think it's the XL.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's the big shot that they call it?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, big shot. I don't know if it's big shot-sized, but it is just physically bigger, this one.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Than compared to the Tornado. Yeah. Okay.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And I think it's because they're using like a different material and like a different kind of like a process to make it all bubbly, I suppose.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So they need a little extra room. Yep. There's a room to deliver the sweet design. It looks awesome.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And it has... The top of it is a basketball. Ah, nice. Like under the acrylic.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Cool. I like those little extra touches. Yeah. On the top of the caps that they do. So it always looks good. So oddly enough, you and I took very similar photos of some of the new stuff that we got. I threw it on my laptop just right before we started. I got two new pins in. Before you do. Since we spoke. Before you do. Yeah. Before you do.
