Editing The Pen Addict 368/transcript (section)

== Episode Introduction ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' From RelayFM, this is The Pen Addict, episode 368. I'm losing my voice and this episode is brought to you by ExpressVPN, Pen Chalet, and Moo. My name is Myke Hurley, apparently, and I'm joined by Brad Dowdy. Hi, Brad.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Hey, buddy. How are you doing? It got worse when we started the show. Well, any amount of talking for you right now, it's gonna go completely downhill, right? I mean, it's gone. You're done. You're like on the precipice of completely losing your voice. So, my goal today is to have you silenced by the end of the episode by keeping you talking continuously.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I feel like I'm letting you down these days. All these guest episodes you're having to do, and now I've shown up, barely able to talk.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, look, it's summertime, right? So, this is the July is usually the month that you're gone, I'm gone. Just like family vacation type stuff, right? It's that time of year. So, our schedules get wonky. This is the time of year where I take like the one week off from refill the Pen Addict members newsletter because I take a family vacation. Like, I hate doing that, but it's like, you know, one week a year, it's okay. So, this is usually our month for that. But then we have stuff on top of that, too. Like, I'm gone again next week and things like that. We're just super busy. But I like doing the guest episodes. I like not talking to you, Myke. All right. No, I'm just kidding.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I like listening to them. I always do. I always say this every time. I like being a listener to the show.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Did you happen to catch the episode? Did you listen to the episode that I did with David Parker? Yeah, it was really great. I loved it. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with David. Duh. Right? Right? Yeah. Right. Fig boot on pens. So, on YouTube, his, like, you know, we talk about YouTube and videos and product videos, but I don't watch like a lot of YouTube, but I watch his and he does such a good job. And I just really appreciated him coming on, filling in.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I had one of those classic moments of, like, shouting at my podcast app. So, when you were talking about the Rubik's Cube video, and he said there was, like, a special surprise in it at the end, it's because he made the crazy coloring page of us. Yeah. Yeah. I had forgotten that. You couldn't remember it. And I was, like, screaming at, like, Overcast.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, it hit me by the end. Then I remembered it. I was like, oh, it was that Boston Globe image or whatever, that Boston World thing. Yeah. That was amazing. So, yeah. But that was a fun conversation just to learn about a whole different side of things than we normally talk about. Right? Like, I write words and record audio. David records videos. It's a completely different animal. So, I wanted to learn about that, and it was really fun. And the feedback on it. Thank you for everyone who reached out. I know David, you know, a bunch of people tagged me in their comments to David, just thanking him for coming on, and that he was super enjoyable on that episode. So, yeah. It was good.
