== Moving ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' That's a lot. This is the first time that I've moved. Their family has moved when I was younger. But I need to like do. I need to just filter through all my stuff.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So they're like 20 something year old Myke Superman PJs in there. Are we talking like that level of stuff?

'''Myke Hurley:''' I do have a Superman onesie which is not going to be making the move with me.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's awesome. I don't even like Superman that much. If it was a Batman onesie that thing would be in a box. It would be on its way. But Superman onesie I'm not that interested in. I hear you. So much stuff man. So much stuff.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well tell these fine listeners something that we really are interested in Michael.

What a fantastic deal. Another fantastic deal from Pen Chalet.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I pulled that up. And I was like. You know. I don't. I don't look at these. You know. Before you read them off. I pulled up the screen. I was like. Uh oh. This is trouble. Because. I mean. You know. I love a good sailor. And these pens are amazing. And. The EF nib. Is. A shockingly good writer. For someone like myself. Who prints. You know. If you're. If you're into cursive. And have big handwriting. Japanese extra fine nibs. Are not going to be the ticket for you. If you're looking for something. That writes like a. 0.3 or 0.4 millimeter gel pen. This is the kind of pen you want. And this is like. One of the nibs. That is. One of my favorites. Off any. Japanese pen manufacturer. This is a steal. Someone. Someone just emailed me. Earlier this week. Saying they wanted to. Purchase their first sailor. And. You know. I was talking about. The different brands and models. And I talked about. How. Sometimes. Every now and then. You can find them on sale. This is a great deal. So. Definitely check this out. At Pen Shelley.

'''Myke Hurley:''' This pen retails for $195. After the 25% discount. Passed a 10% coupon. You can pick it up. For $131.63. Fantastic. Go to. PenShalet.com. Check them out. Thank you so much. To Pen Shelley. For their continued support. Of this show. And Relay FM.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So one of the reasons. I was excited about. This episode. Is we have a lot of. New products. To talk about. That we haven't. You know. Checked out. Or given our feedback on. That have kind of. Popped up on the scene. And the first one. Now that I have it. In my hands. And I knew it was coming. But I didn't know. All the details. On it. Is. Plumchester. So what Plumchester is. Is the new. Art supply line. From the team. At ArtSnacks. It's their own. Product line. If you will. Own pens. Own stationary line. So they just launched. Their first product. In November's. Box. Of goodies. So they had a. 1.5. It's a brush pen. So I don't know. How you. How you measure the. The dimensions of it. But it's a 1.5. So. It's cool. I like it a lot. I'm interested. To see. What all they do. What they have up their sleeves. Like the full launch. Of the product line. Is 2017. So. I did. I did email Lee. To say. Hey. Give me some information. On Plumchester. Like number one. How did you come up with that name? Because. The name is. It's. It's kind of odd. If you will. I like it. But. I like it. And I especially love. The color. Like their branding color. That's one of my favorite shades of purple. So. Let me read a little bit. What Lee said. Because I said specifically. Tell me about the name.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Let me just. Clarify something super quick. So Plumchester is the brand. And what you have. Is in the Art Snacks box. For November. They've created. They've put one of their own products. In there. But later. In next year. They're going to be selling this stuff. We assume.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Essentially. A full product lineup. Of art supplies. Yes. So. We got a Plumchester pin. In this month's. Art supply. Art Snacks box. So. So Lee said. About the name. That he and Sarah. His sister. Who. Is also. Part of the company. They really love the name. Plum. And it invokes. A color. And a flavor. Plus. It's easy to remember. Easy to spell. And pleasing to say. But when we started. Doing name research. There are a few. Competing companies. Using Plum. In their name. So. He said that. Him and Sarah. Both grew up in upstate New York. And lived on. Dorchester Street. So we borrowed. The Chester. And married it with Plum. Hence Plumchester. Creative tools. For the modern artists. So. It's cool. I like. I like hearing about. How names come about. Because it's. An extraordinarily. Difficult thing to do.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I love the name actually. Because it's weird.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. It is weird.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's like unique. It doesn't exist. I think it's cool. I like it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep. Yep. So he said. The first product is. The 1.5. Fine brush pen. And then. They'll have. They'll have. Another product. In the Art Snacks. Studio collection. Which is. Available now. I think. For pre-order. And then. In early 2017. They will launch. A full product. Lineup. At Plumchester.com. So check it out. If you're into that. I am into that. And. You know. I wish them. All the best. It's cool to see. Like a new. Art supply. Company. You know. Hitting the ground. And it's just. Kind of cool. You don't think. Of these things anymore. Like. You don't expect. A new brick and mortar. Pen shop. And then. All of a sudden. You have. Anderson pens. You know. We're talking about them. On their podcast. How. It was. Mont Blanc's. First. Retailer. In seven years. That they opened. You know. You don't see a lot of new. Art supply companies. Necessarily popping up. So. It's very cool. To see. Lee and Sarah. Put. The full force. Of their team. Behind it. And. Launch Plumchester. So. Very proud of them. Very happy for them. So check it out.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's a real. Like. Interesting. And kind of. Obvious evolution. Of their business.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You know. It's like. You've been selling this stuff. For so long. You know it. Like. Intimately. Maybe you know. How you can do it better. Right. And it's like. Similar way of how Nock launched.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right. Right. Exactly. So I told Lee. Once they do the full launch. Next year. We'll get him on to. Talk all about it. Got it. So that'd be great. Speaking of guys. We probably need to get back on it sometime. The. The Baron Fig. team. Launched limited edition subscriptions.
