'''Myke Hurley:''' And you can get some great colors, right? There are lots of options available. That's the best thing. They have a bunch of demonstrator models as well, and the nibs are just... They're just dreamy, right? Like, it's just such a great experience to use these things.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Hard fine is where it's at.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I have a... I think I have a medium, right? But the medium is finer for me than usual, right? Yeah. But it's just perfect. I remember I bought this pen in Atlanta, and I took it to Myke Masayama, and I gave it to him, and he looked at the nib, he inspected the nib, and he was like, I don't need to do anything. Yep. And I was like, all right, we got this. Yep. My notebook today, I can't talk about.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Like, the show notes literally says redacted in it, so I thought he was just going to tease all of us, or tease me, then say it during the show, but you're literally not going to say it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I can't. It's an unreleased product. I have a demo unit.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Do I have one of these? You have one of those. Okay. That's what I assumed it is.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's just mean. It's a demo. I'm being honest, right? I could have just said I was using a byline or something, but I'm not today. I'm using an unreleased product, which I'm pretty excited about, and I'm looking forward to sharing it with people when the company in question releases it. When are they going to release it?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't know. Soon. It's a really good product.

'''Myke Hurley:''' From an unexpected source.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Maybe we can actually set up an interview.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh, yeah. When it happens, we will be talking to the people in question, I'm sure.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Now, I also need to make a notebook called Redacted.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, in the future, people will just think that I'm using your notebook.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Actually, Austin Kleon probably already has that handled. You know, he's the guy that marks out the books to tell the stories. You know what I'm talking about? I have no idea what you're talking about. He takes a black marker to... Yeah, just look him up. All right. He takes a black marker to the words of a page and then tells a new story with the words left that are remaining.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Okay. I'm out-time. It's very cool. Talking about it. Yeah. All right. So, that's what I'm using today. I apologize for being that person.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I didn't realize it was going to go full redaction, but yeah, go for it. Look at you.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Honesty is the best policy, even if it's frustrating.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Sure. I agree. I agree. So, Honesty was the best policy on this next product, Myke.
