'''Myke Hurley:''' Again, I mix.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You mix that up too. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I mix cursive and print. Again, in the same words, I'm looking at, I wrote down Captain Hook of the paper world as a show title suggestion. And I've joined the C and the A. Then the P is on its own. The T is on its own. Then the A and the I are joined again. Very peculiar, Brad. I have very, very peculiar handwriting style.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We need a picture of this in the show notes.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. What shall I write? Or do you want me to just, I'll tell you what. I'll just take a picture of the five show suggestions. Okay. Like the title suggestions that I've written so far. Just because that means I'm not playing it up for the camera, as it were. Right. You're getting my speedy scroll in all of its glory.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Exactly. Exactly. And exactly.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, I mean, I can't, when you were saying about writing on the, like the whiteboard for the golf, right? I can't write on whiteboards. Because I'm a lefty. Yeah. That's true. It's very difficult for me to do that. Like, I rub it all off as I'm writing more and more. So, like every word that I have to, like, kind of, I have to, like, poke at the board. So, I, like, hold, I extend the pen further than my hand. So, my hand never touches the board.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. That just makes it worse, right? Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Us lefties have real trouble. But we get by. I would, you know, one day like left-handed people to be recognized as having a handicap. But I'm not sure if that will ever, if that will ever occur.

'''Myke Hurley:''' What can I say? To be, to be a pen addict and to, and to have such, such a handicapper's library, that's just not fair, is it?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I know, it's not.

'''Myke Hurley:''' But there will be a link in the show notes for everybody to see my horrific handwriting.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, yeah, I think that's, that's me.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, do you, do you, do you have any interest in making it better? Or, I mean, you just kind of getting by with, with what you got? Do you ever think, you know, let me, let me work on this. Is there anything I can do to, to, to make it better?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Typically, it's only me that sees my writing. So, I don't consider that a problem. And if, you know, I can, I can be neat. So, if I'm writing like a birthday card, you know, I will take my time with that. And then it's okay. But, you know, I've never had a job where people have needed to read extended periods of my handwriting. Gotcha.
