'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, no, I don't like the, uh, the knurling on the, um, on the knock part.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And I don't like the logo. Yeah. They logo it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's a minimal pen that they slap logos all over. So whatever.

'''Myke Hurley:''' The brand name, like they look at one of the pictures is on the page on the Kickstarter page. Uh, like there's, you can see the brand logo in three, three times in one little picture. I don't like it so much. And yes, it is a shame. I mean, look, I always take devil's advocate. We can assume it's a knockoff, right? Like we don't, nobody actually knows. They're saying it's not, which is fine. I know. But like, if you're interested in this pen, I put a link to Ajoto in the show notes. I love the Ajoto. Uh, and I think that you should get that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. And let's, I mean, to be perfectly frank, the Sins pen is a much, much cheaper option. And there's probably reasons for that. Um, I mean, I've, I've never used one, so I can't say what the quality is like. Um, people look at the Ajoto and balk at the price, but they really stand behind their products. They believe in their products. They've spent years trying to perfect this product. Um, they have wonderful customer service. It's a company we are familiar with as a community and understand that, you know, they do good things and, um, you know, they're a solid reputable company, me company. So I definitely send people to Ajoto all the time. Um, and, uh, I'm a huge fan of their pen and I, I talked to them behind the scenes plenty. They're really good, good people over there.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, I agree. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So are you on the market for any new retro 50 ones, Myke? Because there's a, there's a couple new ones on the scene that, uh, that might be something you're after. What do you think? Yeah, I've seen them. Um, are you down with, uh, some coffee with your bouquet of flowers?

'''Myke Hurley:''' So I like the look of the bouquet one. I don't really like the look of the coffee one.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' The bouquet one's not out yet, right?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' No, but it's coming. It's really pretty.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, I might, I might pick one of those up. The gold, uh, the gold furniture is a nice touch.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Mm-hmm.
