Editing The Pen Addict 363/transcript (section)

== Shift to TPA Discussion ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, that's awesome. So to put a bow on this, because we have a bunch of ass TPA to get to, a bunch of good ass TPA this week. Well, it was about me, too. And that's the point of this question. When you started this podcast, did you think we'd be making stuff? Did you think we'd be making pens and notebooks when episode one of The Pen Addict started? Or episode 10? Or episode 100? No. I don't think we'd be having these types of conversations.

'''Myke Hurley:''' No, I can't believe it, really, that both of us are at this point now where we're doing these things. And it's working. Yeah. That's the thing that's wilder about it is, like, it's actually working.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I mean, there's space in this world for analog. And, you know, I think we've, you know, we see that every day, every week, our interactions with, you know, our listeners and our readers and, you know, things like that. There's room in this world for analog. In fact, I would say it's almost a requirement to have some analog in your life for sanity purposes. And I enjoy, you know, talking about these things. And I think that's why, you know, The Pen Addict has been around for as long as it is. It's like, I think these analog things that we have, like, play an important role in our life and helps us lead a better life. And, you know, I think that's something, you know, maybe we'll continue to explore.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I hope so. Yep.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' But first, Myke, I got to look good while I'm talking about analog. Oh, yeah. I mean, come on. What do you got for me?

'''Myke Hurley:''' I want to talk about Harry's. Brad, did you know that the average person could spend 3,000 hours of their life shaving? What? So don't waste four months of your life. I need a refund. Well, actually, I can help you save money instead. How about that? Don't waste four months of your life overpaying for poor performing razors. Get Harry's products. They're razors that are so sharp you can shave less often and save money at the same time. Harry's was founded by two guys that were tired of paying for overpriced gimmicks, like vibrating razor heads, flexible balls, handles that look like a prop from a sci-fi movie. These are just some of the tactics that leading brands use to overcharge. And you don't want that. Harry's make quality, durable blades at a fair price of just $2 per blade. And to keep prices low, they cut out the middleman. They bought a world-class blade factory that is in Germany, and they've been making some of the best razor blades in the world for over 99 years. And now they can provide great quality at factory direct prices and offer a 100% quality guarantee at the same time. If you don't love your shave, let Harry's know, and they'll give you a full refund. Brad, do you love your shave?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I love my shave. I shave this morning. And I usually don't necessarily think about the ad reads or look at the stuff or think about what I want to say. But I had already done all that this morning. I didn't shower until right before the show. This is the TMI portion of our show, Myke. Never enough. Was it William?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Never enough information. NEI.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So I was shaving, and I was like, I knew this ad read was coming up, and I knew you'd probably ask me to say something. And all I could think about was, why would I ever spend more for a worse shave? Like, this is the best product that I've ever used to shave with, and it costs less. I don't understand why not everyone uses it. That was it. That was my moment of clarity this morning. Whilst I was shaving with my hair.
