'''Myke Hurley:''' You know what else is wonderful, Myke?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Our first sponsor, the Canalea Pan Company. Yeah, buddy. Canalea Pen Co. make wonderful pens inspired by stunning images of Hawaii. Canalea's founders, Hugh and Carol, believe that these locations can help recharge our spirit and help us connect with nature. And while the story behind these pens is wonderful, the execution is truly what is incredible. This is where Canalea pens truly shine. Every single one is handmade in a process that means that no two pens will ever look alike. And every single nib is tuned before it ships to their customers to make sure that it is perfect for you. Canalea have a wide variety of styles of material as well as shapes of pen, and they're all stunning. I personally, I think I said this last week, but I'll say it again. I do not believe that you will find a better offering of pens from anywhere else. Like, Canalea is number one, in my opinion. We both own multiple Canalea pens at this point. Every new release is full of so much excitement, and we want to remind you of their latest. The Kona Cherry is inspired by the world-renowned Kona coffee bean. The fruit that these beans are encased in features a rich red color that has been encapsulated perfectly in this design. The material that the pens are made from features wonderful deep complexity with transparent areas found in the bodies of the pens as well, making it truly a sight to behold. Canalea pens feature Joao's number six nibs, and you can buy steel or 18-karat gold nibs directly from Canalea. They also offer rose gold too, which is a favorite of mine. Canalea offers sizes from extra fine to 1.1mm stub, and every single Canalea pen ships in a beautifully packaged keepsake box. Canalea Pen Co. is, without a doubt, one of my very favorite pen companies, and I'm sure that Brad would say exactly the same. It is run by wonderful and caring people who have a story that they want to share with the world, and they do it by making these truly inspired products of the highest quality. You can check out their range of pens right now at CanaleaPenCo.com. That's K-A-N-I-L-E-A-P-E-N-C-O dot com. And right now, you can participate in their Choose Your Aloha launch celebration for the Kona Cherry. Canalea has a limited supply of the Classic Flush profile that are shipping right now. Once these are gone, you'll only have to wait three to four weeks for your pen to be shipped. Just three to four week wait is the same for all of the other pen profiles as well. Canalea usually have a 12 to 16 week waiting list, so now is an excellent time to order this pen. And Canalea Pen Co. will also be donating a portion of the profits to the Food Basket, which is Hawaii's Island's Food Bank, I should say, and the West Hawaii Community Health Center. So once again, go to CanaleaPenCo.com and choose your aloha today. Our thanks to Canalea Pen Co. for their support of this show.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So apparently, I have a red thing going on now. The Canalea Kona Cherry, I purchased this pen, full disclosure. I paid full price for the pen and was given the gold nib for free. So there's your disclosure for that. And I bought it because the color, it does something to me, Myke. It's fun and happy and bright. And I love the translucency in the red. I don't know. It just really, really worked for me. And apparently, with my ordering of the Curie Doss in red, which is not the color I would have chose, apparently, I'm more of a red fan than I've led on to in the past. Because now that's two within the past couple of weeks that are now on my desk. And I'm a big, big fan of the red.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' What else are you a big fan of?

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm a big fan of buying things, which we're going to talk about in a minute. But I wanted to bring this one little tidbit that was sent to me on Twitter that I missed. It happened on Instagram, on Blackwing's Instagram feed. And I wanted to bring this up, number one, because it would make you mad because you don't care about this. And number two, I think our... It just made me apathetic, really.
