'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep. Yep. So, all right. Speaking of excellence, let's hear about our good friends at Harry's.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's time to stop compromising on your shave. It's time to get started with Harry's. If you haven't yet made that switch, come on. What is wrong with you? You must be. Exactly. You must be having a horrible shave or paying way too much for it. Harry's offers. Terrible. Harry's offers something you've never had before. A great shave at a fair price. It's simple. Get the best of both with Harry's. Good shave. Good price. Amazing blades. Great design. They have the best of all of this. You don't have to go to a store and try and find stuff in a cabinet or get someone to unlock something for you or feel like a criminal because they have an incredible checkout system. It's all online. You'll find what you want and need in 30 seconds. You'll have it in your car on the way to you shipped for free. This is another reason why the price is so good. An average and everyday shaver saves $150 a year on blades using Harry's. Not only are you saving more, you'll get a better shave because you can change those blades more frequently because they are cheaper for you. You don't have to hang on to a blade for a month because it's going to cost you $700 to replace it like some of these big brown blades.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And you might go to jail.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Exactly.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Harry's blades are German engineered five blade cartridges. They give you a close, comfortable shave without cuts or razor burn. They have a great starter set. It's called the Truman. And just for $15, you'll get a razor, moisturizing shave cream, and three razor blades. Join the over 1 million people that have switched to Harry's.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' One of these days, I'm just going to go full hype man on one of your ad reads. And just like repeat and yell everything.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I say bring it. I just want to see what happens to both of us if you do this.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We wouldn't get through because we'd be crying from laughing so hard.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I don't think it's a bad idea. Maybe we'll surprise Ron next week.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Pelican. Legit.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Nagaya. No, he doesn't say that. Anyway, ask TPA time.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You've been collecting some questions for us.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, we got a bunch. And I've already saved some off for next week too. But I want to get through quite a bit of these today because we had some good stuff. And I love this first one. This one came in via email from Dave. And I think this is something we all think about. And I've thought about it before. He says, when am I a jerk for using my own pen? Signing my daughter in for camp today. The staff handed me the paperwork on a clipboard and a generic ballpoint pen that had some random dentist name printed on the side. I then reached into my pocket, pulled out my vanishing point, and immediately felt like a pompous tool for using it instead of the ballpoint they handed me. So, there's very few cases where you're a jerk for using your own pen. This is not one of them. You're totally in the right for using your own pen on this. There's some awkwardness around it. But you're embracing your inner pen addict when you do this. And you're showing the world, you know, even though they don't get it at the time because they're using random dentist promo pen. That, hey, there's some really good writing instruments out there. And yours is crap. And let me show you what I'm going to use. So, don't feel like a jerk for using your own pen. And I'm trying to think, can you think of a situation where you would be a jerk in using it?

'''Myke Hurley:''' I mean, I think you just, as you say, you kind of got to embrace it, like, and be happy with the fact that you're going to be the one that gets to use the good pen. Because people are always going to think that you're weird when you do it. But I think the times when it's hardest, it's not necessarily, I can't think of anywhere, like, specifically location-wise, that it would be awkward. What is awkward or weird is when somebody holds a pen out for you and then you just reach into your pocket. But, like, whatever, man. Just embrace it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Just embrace it. And don't be showy. You know, just go for your own pen. Say, I got this. And, you know, write it down and move on. And they'll go, wow, that guy is weird. But that's okay. We're weird. You listen to a podcast about pens and you just send an email to be answered on the show. So, you're already weird. You're not going to be more weird by doing this.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, you've already reached maximum peak weirdness. So, at this point, you're a lost cause, I'm sorry to say. Pan addict podcast.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, just own it. Yep. Yeah, I do that. I do that not all the time, but, you know, most of the time.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I've got to say, you know, we have, like, the little subheading on the artwork. And it says, R1 says, there are worse addictions, right? I think it would be. I think one day I might have to change it to, it's already too late for you or something like that. You've already, you're at the end now. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Once you've downloaded this, you're, it's over.
