We have the new Pelican M405 Stressman is on offer for listeners of the show.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So I pulled this up while you were talking and I go, ooh, are we going to be allowed to talk about this? I don't think we can talk about price. Okay, because this is a hot, hot pen right now. This time of the year, it's a new release. The Stressman came out earlier. It was late last year in the 805 model. It is now in the smaller 405 model. And I always wanted one of those 805s and I could never pull the trigger on them. This is a very, very beautiful pen.

'''Myke Hurley:''' This is a hot stuff pen.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, and this is, I mean, this is one of the most, I don't know, not anticipated releases this fall and winter. But it's definitely a popular one, especially for all Pelican fans. They love this color, this pattern. It's a stunner. I was surprised when this one popped up in my screen, to be perfectly honest with you.

'''Myke Hurley:''' This is like how much Ron cares about our listeners. They've just come in for him and he's putting them straight up on offer for Pen Chalet. Like for fanatic listeners. So that's pretty sweet, right? Also, there are new colors of the Noodlers Nippon Set pens available. These are good to play around with.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, they're very popular. I don't have really any experience with the Nippon Set. Myke, have you had any experience with the Nippon Set, the Noodlers pens?

'''Mike Matteson:''' No, I haven't used one. Well, I take that back. I used one once.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, I haven't really used them myself.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And the offer is on the Music Nib versions.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, cool. And they are some pretty hot colors in here. I hadn't seen these. So yeah, these must be brand new as well.

'''Myke Hurley:''' They are. Also as well, Ron wanted me to tell our listeners that they're going to be stocking replacement nibs as well soon from Nemesine and Nox. Oh, nice. In a range of finishes. So you'll be able to get those from Pen Chalet too. I think he said they're coming in in the next week or two. So they'll be up on the site as well. So you want to check back for those.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Awesome.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So that's it. Go to PenCalet.com. Thank you so much to Pen Chalet for supporting this show and RelayFM.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, I'm still wowing a little bit.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Hovering over that buy button, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't need that pen. I don't need more than one 405. I have my one 405. That's not one I'll have multiples of. But man, it's a good looking pen.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You know how this works, Dowdy. It's not about what you need.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, it's totally not. So I did, you know, we talked about on the, you know, did we buy anything for Cyber Monday or, you know, Black Friday? And I said no, but I looked at the Kaweco AC Sport in Orange and it was out during the weekend. He sold, Ron sold out of them. He got them back in like Tuesday or Wednesday. So I did order mine. So I did contribute to the economy. Good man. This holiday season. So yeah, I have that. I haven't inked it up yet. It just came in yesterday. So I'll link that up today. All right. So what am I going to ink it up with Mr. Madison? So I want to know two things. I want to know, since I'm the blue black ink guy, I want to know your favorite blue black. And since Mr. Hurley is the orange guy, I want to know your favorite orange ink. So, so school us here on, on what you're using for, for those inks or what you would recommend.

'''Mike Matteson:''' Yeah. You know, you put this thing in the show notes about favorite colors and I'm like, how am I going to pick? And I sat down and write out my list and it was easy. So I'm also, I'm a huge blue black fan and I'm also a big orange fan. So I'm right there with you. My favorite blue black right now is Sailor Gentle blue black. I need to get a bottle of it. I've only got it in cartridges, but I've got it in two of my Sailor pens right now and it is great. I, I really like that one a lot. I'd put it up on par with the pilot blue black for sure.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You know, that is a surprisingly great ink for just like a basic stock lineup ink. It's not special. It's not on these annual release cycles. It's their stock. It's right there with black, blue and blue black. Just like the basic, most basic stock lineup of any ink brand you can have. Sailor blue black. It's, it's killer. I'm glad you picked that one because I don't even give that enough credit despite probably having it inked up all the time myself. So it's a wonderful, wonderful ink.

'''Mike Matteson:''' Yeah. I've got it in a, I've got it in a pro gear right now and I've got it in a 1911 large with a music nib. I'm just burning through it with that ink. Who are that pen?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. It's got great, great shading, great sheen, just properties you don't normally see. And just a really what's considered a basic blue black. It's wonderful.

'''Mike Matteson:''' Yeah. And the flow is perfect. I've got, I've got no gripes with that ink. It's just like dead on a great ink. One of those ones, it's going to work. Yay. I like it. So cool. Um, and then for orange, uh, what are y'all's favorite oranges? Do you have a particular favorite orange? Who you got key? Cause I've got one, but.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I mean, I'm, I'm in, I'm usually using one of the, one of sailors oranges, whether it's the original Ken Mokusei from like 2010, uh, apricot, or I'm using Bung Box Mandarin or, um, gosh, there's one more. Um, that Kobe number 25. And they're all pretty much in that same ballpark, bright yellowy orange. Um, and then I like a Roshizuku Yuyaki. So like I could name those five off the top of my head that I'm inking up a lot in, in a lot of pens.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Uh, then Hurley's into the, well, it's, it's for you got key or forever. Yeah. For you got key. Yeah. Yeah. Superior orange.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. For you got key. That's going to be his, that's going to be his next label for you got key for life that he's going to print out on, uh, his little new little label maker.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I might do that. I might do that.
