== Uniball Jetstream ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' all right I want to talk about a new product that I have in hand that we referred to a couple weeks ago the Uniball Jetstream light touch mic so I have a friend that was over in Japan for about a month and they reached out and said hey you want me to pick some of these up because they were just like they're starting to expand around the world a little bit not officially but you know for like retailers that sell like Asian market products they're starting to pop up a little bit but they're not still not the easiest thing to get and they'll be more broadly available in 2025 allegedly so I got some in hand but first Myke we need to clarify ! one thing we

'''Brad Dowdy:''' via an email I received that the change is now official it's now uniball all one word all lower case so I just wanted to throw that out there because I got an email saying hey going forward here's what we're doing so I wrote a little uniball word in my lowercase letters which I never do and they reposted it on their feed which I thought was funny I mean this

'''Myke Hurley:''' would look good as a logo so this is what I thought had happened initially when I was looking at the show notes that that was their logo and that was how they were announcing it I think the idea of a pen company having their logo be a handwritten interpretation of a product from their catalog is like a really cute idea

'''Brad Dowdy:''' yeah I

'''Brad Dowdy:''' none of the big Japanese brands are ever going to do anything like that officially

'''Myke Hurley:''' oh yeah that's what I think but yeah I actually I dig this change from Uniball because who remembers the hyphen

'''Brad Dowdy:''' well it's always confusing because they they have they have even called their products different names in different formats all the way down to just a straight uni capital U N I for some products and that's the one that really bothered me but if that's how they sold that pin that's how I had to call it so I try to do the like the official packaging word right I try to be as correct as possible but that means I'm a lot of times using like three different spellings for Uniball so you know whether you like the format or not it's at least going to be consistent now
