'''Brad Dowdy:''' Because I'm not going to lie, Myke, I am in. I am totally in.

'''Myke Hurley:''' What? Okay. What the heck is going on here? What are they doing? What is this? Can you explain

'''Brad Dowdy:''' this to me? No, I cannot explain it to you. That's why we're discussing it, because Jéoban has made, I guess, ink-scented candles, even though it's not ink-scented candles, but they're to match inks, right?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Let me just, just again, I can't mention that. Right, so Jéoban, the ink company, pen company, mostly known as an ink company, I think. They have a fancy line called the Jacques Herbin line. You know, we've seen this before, like Graf von Faber-Castell, it's basically creating a prestige line, where they use the full names of the people that started the companies. So they have created four inks that have matching candles. You can buy the ink and candle sets together, or you can buy the candles on their own, and I don't understand this unless the ink smells the same. Otherwise, I don't know how you are pairing a color and a smell.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So let me try to do this correctly, Myke, and let Jacques Herbin explain to you why this is a good idea.

'''Myke Hurley:''' We've got Jacques on the show today.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, Jacques is going to come on. We're going to get so many emails about pronunciation on this one, but I don't even care. So this is from the Bleu Plentitude set, okay? This is the ink and candle set. This is the description. Bleu Plentitude evokes scents with a musky dominance of green herbs, orange blossom, and barely cut hay. This aroma invites us to relax. Wait. Wait. Hold on a minute. You have a problem with barely cut hay, Myke?

'''Myke Hurley:''' What is the smell of barely cut hay? How does it differ to non-cut hay and completely cut hay?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's the same as a freshly mown lawn, Michael.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Right. Okay. So I'll understand that. But we're saying barely cut. Why not cut? That's my issue, right?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' There is no such thing as barely cut hay. It should be freshly cut. Well, you either cut hay, all of it, or none of it. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. We're in agreement here, right? You either cut it or you don't

'''Myke Hurley:''' cut it. Like, did I just like get halfway? Like, oh, stop. That's a different smell now.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's how you get to Bleu Plentitude, Myke.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Sometimes people try too hard with marketing messages.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, let me continue. Let me continue. This aroma invites us to relax and meditate at the twilight of the day when the sky is adorned with dark reflections.
