Editing The Pen Addict 196/transcript (section)

== Needle Artwork ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, except for the point where you, you accused me of using drugs with needles. That's true. That's, that happened.

'''Myke Hurley:''' The needle never went away, did it? Now it's, now it's part of the artwork. Um, I had a couple of little quotes that I liked. So you said, field notes are a big capturing tool for me. I'm sure we'll talk about them a lot.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That happened, didn't it? Yeah. We were very, uh, we were very observant even in our youth that, uh, something, something's, something is kind of important about this field notes thing. And, uh, it, you know, as your, uh, our friend, Stephen, like to, like to say, turns out.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Turns out. And I think it's funny that, um, it just shows the point of, of, of how much we love them. We were talking about them in episode one. Like we, you know, we just both referenced how much we love them. Even then. Uh, you said at one point, the fountain pen world is pretty amazing. That's going to be many episodes.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And that was before I'd committed to like using the fountain pens. It was, it was a few more episodes.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I was more of a fountain pen guy at that point than you were. Oh, absolutely. Which is so funny to look at now. Uh, you received a box of jet streams during the episode. The doorbell goes and you're like, Oh, there's a box of jet streams.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That was awesome. I didn't realize like the, the doorbell became a running theme for probably somewhere in the first a hundred episodes. It was pretty often. I didn't realize like right out the gate, we got interrupted for a pen delivery, um, during the episode, which is just hilarious. And, um, then it turned out to be jet streams. I had ordered from my wife.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Just quickly, John, uh, John in the chat has made a point. A lot of the earlier episodes, maybe kind of around the first 20 episodes, they don't really have show notes attached to them anymore. Um, they used to actually basically with the way it's been imported so many times over different websites, they've, they've disappeared. And, uh, recently basically the only place that had all of the notes was the five by five page that, and that, that, the, the show's actually gone now from five by five down to a bit of a reorganization at some point. I'll see if I can try and get those notes back somehow, but I don't even know where you, where I would get them anymore. But yeah, so there, I think it's like the first 20 episodes has no links to it, which is a shame. Yeah. But that's just because importers, they're weird. Um, yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Cause we've been around so long and moved all over.
