'''Brad Dowdy:''' What?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Our show is so weird.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Like if you dropped in now, like, I don't know that we'd get any new listeners. I'd be a little bit concerned.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I have to say though, like people that I'm mentioning this to, like in my average daily life, it's like, yeah, I've heard about this. This is a big thing now. So this is actually probably the most mainstream we've ever been. Yes.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' In a weird way. We actually have a question about this at the end in the, the ask TPA section. We actually have kind of a, uh, a question about it. I don't even know if I wrote it down, but yeah, we'll, we'll, we'll talk about that some more. Well, let's talk about it now real quick. So the, the question in general was, you know, what do people think when you tell them that you do this, right? That this is a thing by you. Like what's the crate? Have you had like any, any reactions that have just been weird or odd or anything like that? Other than just like, I have no idea what you're talking about.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That seems to be the, everyone that I've shown this to or spoken to about it is saying that this is a thing that they're seeing that people do now. Like this has been the least like weirded out people are about the pen stuff.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yes. I will agree with that. The more, the longer we do this, the less weird it is for the outsider. It's getting more in the mainstream, if you will.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' At least, at least in the ancillary places, you know, not necessarily, it's not like super prime time stuff, but you know, it's getting, you know, you're seeing articles in the New York times and just seeing some random places like that where you're, you're getting the pen and pencil.

'''Myke Hurley:''' This is even down to the point where I was talking to my mom about it. And I mentioned, um, the creator of the books, Joanna Bash, Basford, Joanna Basford. And she was like, yeah, I saw her on TV last week.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You know, so.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's so funny. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. All right. Well, we got a lot to get to, dude. I mean, this is, you know, you, you make fun of me. It's like, oh my God, what are we going to talk about? And I'm already like cutting things in our show document because, um, there's several things I want to get to. I want to get into some Kickstarter stuff. I want to get into some field notes stuff and I want to rant a little bit. So let's talk about one of our good friends and then we'll just, uh, keep plugging away.
