== Fountain Pens == '''Dan Benjamin:''' And that was for the office. But then for myself, I got, I went a little crazy. And I got the Pelican M205 traditional fountain pen with a piston filler. '''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. '''Dan Benjamin:''' Because that's what I used to have when I was a kid. My granddad had a piston filler pen. That the nib was completely ruined on it, which is probably why he gave it to me. But this reminded me of that. And then I got the, I think it's Jay Herbin fountain pen. '''Brad Dowdy:''' Actually, we can help you out with that one. All right. Do you want to help him out with that one, Myke? '''Dan Benjamin:''' Help me out. '''Brad Dowdy:''' I shall. '''Dan Benjamin:''' Perle Noire. '''Dan Benjamin:''' That is how you say it. Do you play that again? '''Myke Hurley:''' Okay, hang on. '''Dan Benjamin:''' Who is that? '''Myke Hurley:''' We'll explain that in a second. Long time listeners will know that. And also, I'll also play how you pronounce the name of the company in a second. '''Dan Benjamin:''' Do it again. '''Dan Benjamin:''' Perle Noire. '''Myke Hurley:''' I like this. So this is how you pronounce the company name. '''Brad Dowdy:''' J. Herbin An. '''Dan Benjamin:''' Wow, I'm not going to be able to do that. '''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, neither can we. All right. '''Dan Benjamin:''' Well, that's what I got. And then I also got the Maruman Nimescene Special Memo Notebook 6.9 inches by 9.8 inches, or as they say at Apple X, 9.8 inches. '''Myke Hurley:''' So what we just played you, and it'll be in the show notes. '''Dan Benjamin:''' Yeah, what is this? This beautiful, whoever that woman is, I want to meet her. '''Myke Hurley:''' So when me and Brad were first talking about these inks, and it's J. Herbin, but we say like J. Herbin. Right. And he found this video, and it's that they do an untold amount. '''Brad Dowdy:''' One of the listeners sent it to us. '''Myke Hurley:''' Oh, a listener sent it. So they do lots and lots and lots of inks. And this is, it's a three-minute video just pronouncing all of the names of their inks. '''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, it's a French company, a French-based company. So they have a whole pronunciation video of this girl just ripping off every ink color all in a row. It's hilarious. It's great. '''Brad Dowdy:''' I like it. So this is the geekiness we get into. I mean, it's just, when a listener sent us that, but I think we were crying the first time we listened to that just because, yeah. We butcher most of these names anyway. Right, of course. So you got the Pelican for yourself. Love this thing.
