== Califolio Andrenopole Ink ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' I went to Van Ness and bought the Califolio Andrenopole. Ah, nice. Because I fell in love with that color. It's a great color. When I saw you get it. And I decided that I needed it. And so here we go. I've got it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So looking at our Google Doc, it's like the pink of your cursor. Because we're both in it. So we each have a little color shared to it. It's that good looking. So yeah, okay. That's going to be nice then. That's going to be perfect. Such a good color.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, I'm very excited for it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Very excited. So that's on its way. That's on its way. And I also bought, I'm in the deep end now. When we were there, there was, KWZ were at the Bureau Direct table.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And they had the KWZ Standard Raspberry. Mm-hmm. I bought that too.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay, cool. Those are good inks. I like the colors on there. And that's a good color.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm going all pink, baby.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm telling you. It's a real thing. It's good stuff.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So I really like this pen. It's got a 1.1 stub in it. Yeah. I'm going to be very pink.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, you did good. It sounds like a good fit for you. I like it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, and the pen itself is like 175 pounds, which is amazing.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I've always seen John's work. And when I look at the prices, I always comment into myself like, wow, that's a really fair price for what he does. So absolutely agree.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So yeah, he does great work. He's a great guy. I bought the last bottle of Andronople from Venice. So ha ha. Ha ha.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So they always sell that at shows now. And they just finished the Dallas show. So they probably sold some there. And they're getting ready for the Colorado show, which we'll talk about in just a second.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So yeah, I'm deep within it all now. Good.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, you're deep within something else that we're going to need to spend some time on. But I think you might need to sleep on a little something first. That's a really good idea. Look at you.

'''Myke Hurley:''' See, I'm now a real pen addict. You're now a real podcaster.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's setting up those segues. Please. This is not working out well for me.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Leading into the ads. And the first one this week, our first sponsor today is Casper, the company focused on sleep that has created the perfect mattress that it sells directly to consumers, eliminating those commission-driven inflated prices. Buying a Casper mattress is completely risk-free because they understand how to make a great mattress and how to sell it as well. They have created an award-winning mattress developed in-house by the Casper team that has a great design, a sleek design, delivered in an impossibly small box that has some incredible features to it. It combines springy latex and supportive memory foam to create a mattress that's got just the right sink and just the right bounce. And it also is a breathable mattress, which helps regulate your temperature throughout the night. Casper is cutting the cost and cutting the cust of dealing with resellers and showrooms and passing those savings directly to you. And let's talk about those savings. Casper mattresses cost just $500 for a twin size, $600 for a twin XL, $750 for a full, $850 for a queen, and $950 for a king. They're made in America, and that is so much cheaper than the thousands and thousands that you'll be paying if you want to buy from a showroom. Casper offers free delivery and free returns to the US and Canada of a 100-night home trial. That's how I do the online ordering stuff. So you might think, oh, I want to sit down on a mattress before I commit to it. That's what you're used to doing in a showroom. You spend like 30 seconds sitting on it fully clothed, you know, and work out, oh, this is the mattress that I want to spend another 15 years on. But what Casper do instead is they send you it, and you sleep on that thing for three months before you can make the full decision, because you can just get them to come pick it up, and they'll take it away free returns. They understand how important this is. Brad, we had a Casper mattress sent to you. Yes, sir. What do you think of it?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's fantastic. It's cool. It's cool to sleep on. We actually put it in our guest bedroom, because that's the size of the mattress I have. But I have spent some nights in there just to test it out, and I kind of miss not sleeping on it. It's like I want to sneak off.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You just need to get in trouble more, Brad, so you just sent to the guest room.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I know, right? You know, I need to crank up the snoring or just get in a fight, and so I can go enjoy sleeping on the Casper, because I kind of like it better. I'm not going to lie. It's very cool. It's just got this different feel to it. And it just kind of, you just kind of sink into it, but you're still like fully supported. I don't know. It's an interesting feeling. I've never felt that before. And it's- You know what that is, Brad?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Completely comfortable. That's just the right sink, just the right bounce. That's what that is.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay. Is that the deal? So, okay. Well, it is just the right sink and just the right bounce. And yeah, I'm not going to lie. I enjoy sleeping on that better than my regular mattress.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You can get $50 towards any mattress purchase by going to casper.com slash penaddict and using the code penaddict. Terms and conditions apply. Thank you so much to Casper for their support of this show. Go get a Casper mattress.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right. And everyone else needs to go to YouTube, because you blew my mind the other day. I'm just going to say that. So, I'll just let you go with this, because I pretty much didn't believe you when you started talking. I thought you were just joking with me. So, go ahead. I'll let you have the floor.
