'''Brad Dowdy:''' Nope. Interesting. So let me talk about your rut real quick, and then we can get back to the Nakaya. So this is the time of year where I reassess. It's not on purpose, but it seems like with the late fall and the run up to Christmas, there's a lot of purchasing going on. And then once January hits all the way until the pen show, I buy almost nothing. And I found that to be the case for the last couple years. And I think just because there's a lot of excess towards the end of the year, when it comes to January and February, it's a little bit quieter, a little bit more downtime. And then a little bit, well, I'll just wait to the pen show and see what I find. So I get in a rut this time of year as far as purchasing goes. But I think it's just a down cycle, right? I mean, we can't buy stuff constantly. We'd be broke. So yeah, I feel exactly what you're saying. And I feel like that a couple times a year. And I've started to chomp at the bit here a little bit. And I'm still trying to hold off to the pen show. I don't know if I can totally or not. But I've started to make a list for either the pen show or after the pen show, if I don't find the things I want. So actually, I might have found your next pen, Myke. And I'm curious to what you think about this, if it's not a Nakaya, because it might speak to you, you know, regionally. So I'm going to put this in the show notes so everyone can play along because I just found this last night when I was looking for something else. And I was like, whoa.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So check out that link and let me know what you think. And I'll tell everyone it's called the Sailor Professional Gear Piccadilly Night Fountain Pen. And by Piccadilly, they mean Piccadilly Street in London.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Piccadilly Circus.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Piccadilly Circus.

'''Myke Hurley:''' They called it Piccadilly Street, but that's wrong.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, Piccadilly Circus. So it's this bright red demonstrator with a white cap made to show off the tint of the lights in, you know, like a Times Square or Piccadilly Circus that glow in the air. So I don't know if that's a style that you like in a pen, but I thought with the regional aspect to it, it might be something that goes on your wish list. So I'm going to spend your money.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I really like the look of this, but I feel like I have a confession to make that I've never said this before, I don't think. I don't like demonstrators because I think they look cheap.
