== Pen Chalet Sponsor ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' our friends at Pen Chalet have come back to sponsor another episode simply because quite, quite frankly, all of you guys that went out and supported them last week, they were absolutely blown away. As were we with the support that you gave, you went over and you, you did what we asked and you checked them out. And I think they sold out of Pelicans after, of the, the, the fact that they did that amazing deal. And I'm going to tell you a bit about Pen Chalet, but they have another amazing deal guys, just for you this time. So Pen Chalet, in case you missed them as Pen Chalet.com. That's P E N C H A L E T.com. Pen Chalet sell authentic, amazing roller balls, fountain pens, ballpoints, mechanical pencils, and so much more. They have all of your favorite brands, all of the brands that you hear me and Brad talk about every week, like Monteverde, Pelican, Pilot, Namiki, Sailor, and Kaweco, and they are, of course, an authorized dealer of all of them. Pen Chalet offer very fast and extremely reliable, customer service. They run special discounts twice a month, including closeout specials every two weeks. So you're going to get fantastic deals on all of those incredible brands. They're always adding new styles of pens. Every single month, they got new incredible stuff, beautiful pens that you can go and check out there.

Pen Chalet offer free shipping, on orders over $50 in the continental United States.

We looked through last week, and we picked out a couple of the offers that they had, which is including the Pelican. Now, the Pelican is gone. They just sold out of it, because of you guys. And they still have a bunch of those great offers, as well as just the, you know, the fact that you get 10% off anything. They have a bunch of special offers. I think they do have a couple of 205s left, actually. But a bunch of colors are gone. So you can still go and get a Pelican M205, if that's what you're after. And they have pilot metropolitans and stuff. However, these offers are available to a bunch of people. But because of the great, incredible response, that you guys gave last week, the guys over at Pen Chalet, are doing a special, Pen Addict only, offer. On Aurora. And I'm going to say 2TU.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, I'm going to guess it's the 2, Aurora 2.

'''Myke Hurley:''' They have a rollable and a fountain pen. Now, I think that I'm familiar with the brand, but I am not, I've never tried this pen out myself. You haven't either, Brad, have you? I haven't. However, this pen looks fantastic. So there's a rollable and a fountain pen version. The retail, $145. You can get the rollable for $84 and the fountain pen for $87. It's a savings of 40%. And then you can also get your 10% off on top of that as well. Now, I'm a fountain pen guy, so I took a look at it and the first thing I noticed was the blue resin version.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It might kind of have a conniption over the blue. What a color. It's really bright. It's really good looking with the chrome accents. I like that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So it's a stainless steel nib.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It has like an interesting, like they use resin for the blue ones, so that feels great. And they have a black satin finish on the sort of, they have a black and a black and chrome version, so that's going to have like a real, I guess, a nice soft touch.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, that's the one I'm kind of eyeballing. That looks pretty good.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So the black satin is $87, and the one with the chrome cap and the resin is $96, but they're 40% in both instances. This is on the fountain pen off of the original retail price. So go and check this out. Like, I think this looks fantastic, and Brad, you mentioned that you wanted to, you're now going to get one, so thanks for supporting the show.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Aurora has always been on my radar. They make really classic styled fountain pens, right? I mean, they're just straight up good looking pens. This is to me,

'''Myke Hurley:''' the boardroom pen I always mention. This is what this looks like.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And just for the price, it's really good. I mean, Aurora is an Italian brand, for those who aren't familiar with it. They've been around a long while, and they're a very well respected brand in the fountain pen community. And it's just one of those brands that, you know, I haven't gotten into. Like, I did at the pen show. I picked up another brand. I haven't gotten into another Italian brand. Aurora's have always been on my radar just because they make really good looking pens. So, I'm definitely going to be checking this out.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, I had a busy weekend, Myke.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Do we even have time for me to go over this whole topic? I mean, it's going to be a long topic. You ready for this?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I sure am. Oh, do we have... But we have one thing to get to before I do that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's why I was getting worried. I was like, oh no, he's forgotten. Sorry. I know,

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm good at that. I'm good at skipping that. I just wanted to tease you that time a little bit. Oh, right, right.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, yeah, of course,
