Editing The Pen Addict 348/transcript (section)

== Pen Specific Question ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' All right. And our next question comes from SamK654. Has Platinum ever made an all-black 3776?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Not that I've seen. I think that would be fantastic. Now, there is, I apologize, I didn't prep for this question before because there's a pen I want to talk about that I can't think of the name or have a link for it. But they made one, a limited edition, several years ago, with a tiger pattern on it. And I've seen it at pen shows. It's all black except for a rhodium clip. There's no other color on the exterior side of it. And it was a very limited quantity. But it was too expensive for me to buy. But I've picked it up many times at a pen show. It just didn't feel worth whatever the price was at the time. That's the closest I've seen in that shape and size. I'll find the name of it. We can, we can, it'd be easy to come up with. We'll put it in the show notes. And I'll tweet it over to Sam. But no, they've never made one. I think seeing some of their, you know, various limited edition work. I could see them coming up with something that one day, maybe. So yeah, it'd be good.

'''Myke Hurley:''' All right. And our last question comes from Jeff Starr Jr. today. Taking the CFA exam in June. It's a pen and paper exam. I love fountain pens, but I need a ballpoint recommendation for this. No issues with a pen with a larger grip section, if possible. The test is only once a year. So this pen doesn't need to be used every day.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Easiest question of the bunch, Michael.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Okay.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Uniball Jetstream. Oh, yeah, of course. If you want something, I know, right? But it's the answer to the question. That's why it comes up all the time, right? It is the answer to this question 100% of the time without failure.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's it. Okay. They have, I mean, I would say the Pilot Acroball, but it's not as wide of a barrel as the Jetstream. Right. Like, these are your basic ballpoints and why I just, I'm completely on the Jetstream bandwagon because it just works all the time. It's always the answer to this question. You may not like it. You may not like that it's the answer, but it's the answer. I'm not, I'm the most confident of any answer I'll ever give in this show to that one I just gave. Like, it's the answer.

Do whatever you want. It's one of my most podcast listening times of the day. Same. It's great that phones are waterproof now. You just take it in the shower cubicle with you. No problemo. That's what I do.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Whoa, whoa, whoa. Shower cubicle. We're not going to end the show. We're not going to end the show on shower cubicle. What's wrong with that?

'''Myke Hurley:''' What's wrong with the shower cubicle?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' All of it. I'm not in an office. That's where cubicles are.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's what they're called.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Not for normal people. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I love you. That's the name of the thing that you get in, right? Yeah. When you're in a bathroom and it's walled off, it's called a shower cubicle.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Just Google the term shower cubicle.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I understand. I've shared many a hotel room with you. Okay. This may be an English thing. A lot of showers. We have shared a lot of showers. Not together. But in the room. Never once has the phrase, I'm going to get in the shower cubicle. I can see what's happening here.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Shower stall is the American term, which is way worse. Stall is a terrible word. Cubicle is a way better word. End of story. Thanks for listening, everyone. We'll be back next week. Bye-bye. Say goodbye, Brad. Goodbye, Brad.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Cubicle.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It is better than stall.
