The Pen Addict

In this episode Brad and Myke keep it all 'happy fun time', at least until the end of the episode when Brad goes off the rails a bit. They discuss the idea of punting on a started Field Notes notebook, justification for owning so many pens, and penspotting in public. Then, the Esterbrook hammer drops.
