Editing The Pen Addict 21/transcript (section)

== Kaweco Length ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' I can't find, um, on JetPens, like the length of the Kaweco.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Um, they, you have to scroll down probably a little bit. I'll find it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' 4.1 inches. Mm-hmm. Now I need to work out inches to centimeters.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Dear, oh dear. Who knows, Matt? Who knows these systems? I'll bring up my fancy ruler. It's actually, whoa, that, what happened there?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That was my ruler. It's a, it's one of these, this is one of these rulers that's probably not TSA compliant. Okay.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Do you know what? It's actually smaller than a Kaweco.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It is because what's four inches is a little bit over 10, right?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Ooh, this, that's, there you go. I've just added something to my wish list. Like it's literally going on my wish list now.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' See, aren't you glad we had this episode? And you know what? We can blame Mary for this. We get called enablers all the time. You know what? Mary, call us. You're an enabler. Yeah. See what you did to us? See what you've done? No, we, we love you, Mary. You're awesome. Yeah. Thank you. Everyone that, uh, everyone that, uh, gives us a hard time about, uh, getting into their wallets. We think it's, we think it's fun. We think it's funny. And you know what? We try to, you know, we certainly don't tell you to spend your money, but you know, if you are going to spend your money, we hopefully give you some good information that can make your decisions off of.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So we give you good things to purchase with that money. Right. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So, uh, yeah, that's kind of the, that's kind of the wishlist stuff. Do you want to, uh, you want to get in our second sponsor here real quick?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right. So, you know, Myke and I, the last two episodes, Myke and I talked about our top five pens, and we got in some lists from readers, and we talked about it on the show, and we got another one this week, and I think it's kind of a fun topic to hear about other readers and listeners' top five pens. And so we'd love it if you guys would continue sending in your top five pen lists, and we'll read them on the episode, on, you know, episodes when we can fit them in and things like that. So, you know, Myke and I, you know, we look at a lot of pens and things, but there's always other pens out there that we haven't heard of or haven't used, and we always want to hear, you know, what y'all's experiences are with pens. So, you know, definitely send us some top five lists, and we'd love to read them on the show. And we got one today from Joe Lebo, who writes a blog, and we'll have all this in the show notes. His blog's called A Young Old Soul, and he did a blog post on his top five pens after listening to our episodes.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' This is a really good list. Did you take a look at this link, Myke?

'''Myke Hurley:''' No, it came up. When Joe sent it in, I was recording, and I've been recording all evening, so I've not been able to take a look at it yet.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' No problem. You will be very familiar with number one on this list, as I am. It's the Lamy Safari EF Nib, the black matte finish. Do you have that model?
