Editing The Pen Addict 199/transcript (section)

== Show Posters ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Uh-huh.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Some signed limited edition prints of our show poster, which I explained to Joey what I wanted over email. And he delivered 100% exactly what I wanted. Like, he knew from what I was talking about and some things I showed him. Um, like, what the aesthetic I wanted for this. You know, I wanted to do something wild. Um, so the first thing I thought of was, like, an old punk gig poster. And explaining to someone, an artist that over the email. And them going, okay, I got it. And then delivering on that, like, the first shot, it's out of bounds. Joey did great work. So, we're going to have a few prints to give away at the show. And then we're going to have a few prints to give away to our Kickstarter backers. So, this is something we did for you guys and for ourselves because it's awesome. You know, I wanted some.

'''Myke Hurley:''' We should sign them with one of the Panahattarian Sharpies.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So, Joey actually made space around each of our photos to have rooms for signatures. And Joey's going to sign them as well. And they're stamped with Joey's seal. So, these are, like, official, like, prints. Like, this is legit good stuff. And we're going to give some of those away. And I'm really, really excited about it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I have been mesmerized by the drawing he did of me.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Because it's, I can't explain it, but he's captured me. Right. I don't know how he does it, but he does it. And I love, I just absolutely adore the way that he's drawn my beard.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Right. I think sometimes it does look like that. Yeah. It's just an incredible job. Absolutely incredible. And I can't wait to frame one of these bad boys and put it on my wall. So, yeah, this is like a Sex Pistols poster. And I guess the joke of the mule is because, as you can see, the party, the after party that this is the poster of, is sponsored by Montegrappa with their mule pen.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, this is going to be great. Brian has been a huge supporter of the pen addict and of the community and of other blogs. And he's a big fan of Fountain Pen Day. And he's a big fan of pen habit. And he's been super supportive as a company. He works for Kendra Industries, who's the distributor of Montegrappa. And he just wants to be involved in this community. And he's willing to put his money where his mouth is. And they're sponsoring this party. And I couldn't thank him enough for being involved. So that's where the Brad and the mule came up with. That was me and Brian coming up with the name. We said, OK, let's have fun with it. Let's come up with the name. So once we did that, I went back to Brian. And I said, you know, if we're going to do this kind of wild, I've got an idea for a poster. So I explained it to him. And Brian's like, yeah, man, do whatever you want. So this is what we came up with. And it's killer. Every time I open this thing, I laugh just in a good way because it's so cool. It's just freaking cool.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm looking forward to some tasty mules after the show.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Hey, he hooked us up in L.A. And they were legit good.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's why I'm excited about it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. So, hey, one more thing on my shopping list. I'm doing a bunch of pre-shopping, apparently, because I forgot I'm getting another pen delivered to me while I'm there. Yeah. Yeah. Good friend. Good friend of the show and of the blog, Mr. Jonathan Brooks from Carolina Pen Company, who will be at the show. He's making me a pen. So we will go over all that fun in the next episode, if you will. So hopefully that one's going to be ready for the show because he's having to make it. But it looks like that's on track, too. So we're cutting it close with everything. But, yeah, I think all my show money is being spent before the show and being delivered at the show. So that counts, right?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep. That counts. That'll do for me. All right. Let's take our last break from another great supporter of the show and of a company that we're going to be getting faces full of in about a week's time. This week's episode is brought to you by Harry's. Have you ever asked yourself when you're in the drugstore, why are razors the only product that are locked behind plexiglass cases? And when you stop to think about it, it's because they're so overpriced that people are maybe more likely to steal them than other things in the store. People have been used to, for far too long, paying too high for razor blades. And this is why Harry's exists. They sell high-quality blades that provide a close, comfortable shave for half of the price that you're used to. They make their own blades. German-engineered five-blade cartridges that are going to give you a close, comfortable shave without cuts or razor burn. Harry's believe in the quality of their blades so much that they guarantee that quality. You will get a full refund if you're not happy. Over one million people have switched to Harry's. You should be one of them. Harry's razors offer a high-quality shave at half the price of what you're going to find in the stuff locked behind those plexiglass cases. And this means that, on average, an everyday shaver will save $150 a year on blades when they switch to Harry's. And you won't have to fight with the drugstores to get them out of the actual boxes and through the checkout. Because you'll be buying at Harry's. And Harry's does all of their sales online. You'll find what you need and be checked out within 30 seconds. And they'll be shipped to your door for free. Their starter set is a great deal. It's called the Truman, and for just $15, you'll get a razor, moisturizing shave cream, and three razor blades. It's time to stop overpaying for a great shave.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So can I give a top secret pro tip about Harry's? Always. I learned this myself about one or two weeks ago.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Mm-hmm.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' If you go to their shave plans. So I needed to order the shave cream that I like, so I was going to reorder. And I needed some blades, too. So I just normally go online, place my order, and they ship it. Then they had the link to their shave plans on there. If you click start for free on their shave plan, you can get a razor handle, a blade, a small thing of the shave lotion, the foaming gel, and like the little travel holder for the cost of shipping. So I paid like $3, and I got a new handle, a new blade, and all this stuff. And then I'm going to get the cream and blades that I went to order in the first place on my next order. It's practically, it's literally free.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And I got one of the new handles. They sent me one of the new handles, too, with my order. I got the, they're kind of rubberized instead of the smooth, hard plastic. And it's really nice, but literally $3, there's no reason to not go sign up with Harry's today.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm still kind of, can't talk about it because I don't understand how cheap it actually was for such a good product. But it's legitimately there. I went in and I paid them $3, and I got this whole package full of shaving goods. And then my subscription is going to start after that. It's amazing.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Hashtag pro tip.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I'll figure that out on my own when I was going to buy more Harry's goods. So, yeah, pretty cool.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, pretty clever over there.
