Editing The Pen Addict 131/transcript (section)

== Guest Introduction ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm doing real good, I'm doing real good, and I'm excited about today's guest, Myke. We have a guest? We have a guest today, and he's being quiet right now, but it's definitely not going to be a quiet episode, knowing this guy like I do. I'd like to say hello to Mr. Brian Goulet from Goulet Pens. How's it going, Brian?

'''Brian Goulet:''' I am doing fantastic today, Brad. Thank you, guys, both for having me on.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, we certainly appreciate you taking the time. This is in this most busy time of year for you.

'''Brian Goulet:''' Yeah, it's really kind of the worst timing in the world that I could be doing this, but that just goes to show how dedicated I am to you guys here. I just, honestly, I'm so thrilled. I've been thinking about this for years because I've been aware, you know, you, especially Brad with the pen addict stuff. And it's always been on my mind, like, we definitely need to do something in the future. And as soon as this opportunity came up, I was like, I'll just move my schedule around. Whatever happens, I just want to make this happen. So happy to do it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, we certainly appreciate you moving the schedule around. And speaking of moving the schedule around, Myke, we had to move it. This isn't in the show notes, but I wanted to bring this up, and I wanted to put you on the spot. And I want you to tell the people why we had to move from Monday to Tuesday this week, because I think this is important and you deserve the platform. So please tell us why.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So there is a fantastic game in the iOS app store called Monument Valley, which I'll put in the show notes in case you haven't played it. You definitely should play this game. The developers of that game, Us2 Games, they're based in London. And a couple of weeks ago, I interviewed the executive producer of Monument Valley, a guy called Dan, on Inquisitive, on one of our shows on RelayFM. And afterwards, Dan said, Apple have asked us, Us2, to participate in an Apple Store event. Now, these are where they'll get people in. It's from what's called the Meet the Developer series. So they have developers come and they talk to them, so they'll have somebody interview them. And the guys at Us2 asked if I would interview them in the Regent Street Apple Store, which I did yesterday, on World AIDS Day, which is really important, because Monument Valley has a level of their game, which is currently in the Apps for Red campaign. So it's all the proceeds of that level are going to the World AIDS effort. So yesterday, I got to interview one of the guys over at Us2, all about Monument Valley, on the stage of the Apple Store in Regent Street, which is one of the biggest Apple stores in the world. And it's going to be, it isn't yet, which is quite a shame, because I would have liked it for the show notes. But there is a video, there is also an audio, and it will be a podcast, which will be available on the podcast store on iTunes. I was hoping it would have been by now, but it would be today or tomorrow as we record this. So people will be able to watch me on stage. And it went a lot better than I expected, because I've never done anything like this before. I've never done an in-person podcast. I've never had it filmed. And there was also a small audience as well. But yeah, I was really, really pleased about it, actually.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, so that's a huge step. And I wanted to make sure I dropped that in on you and get you talking about that, because I think it's a big deal. Well, and I'm proud of you, and I wanted to say congratulations, because I really think that's awesome.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right, so on your way to the Apple store to do your interview, did you go pick up any packages or anything? Or was this maybe from yesterday?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Today.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Today.
