'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, we refuse to talk about it. Because we may get all of our listeners spend too much money.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I know, I know. That was funny. I listened to that last night. But yeah, I'm glad that's working out for you. That's really cool. I love it, man.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I really do.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's excellent. Yeah, so let's talk about this pen case.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And it's the Lid Lab Teffa pen case.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, we spoke about it a bit last week because it was part of my massive haul of stuff.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Mm-hmm. Yeah, and we talked about it in the pen case episode. You know, that was one that I did not own. And so many readers recommended saying this was the best. I mean, they were sending me pictures left and right. You got to get it, got to get it, got to get it. So I guess I got mine about the same time you got yours from JetPens. It's a really good case. I did have some issues with it as far as you pretty much have – the pen pretty much has to have a clip to function properly in that case. And that's a little bit of a hang-up for me just because I carry things that don't have a clip like the Kaweco AL Sport. I mean, that's a pen that's with me all the time. You know, a pen with a shorter body style and no clip like that, you know, it's a challenge to put in that case. That being said, the amount of pens and other stuff that it holds is outrageous. Yeah. I mean, I can't believe how many pens I can fit in there and a notebook and ink cartridge refills and lead and an eraser. And there's still room for more. I mean, it's a pretty impressive case as far as, you know, the quantities of things you could get.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Mm-hmm.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And, you know, I really see it – I think artists would really enjoy this case just being able to carry the wide variety of art pens. You know, if they're like a portable sketching kit or things like that, the quantities of things that you could put in there, you know, the different tools that, you know, an artist might need when they're away from their workspace. This case would – it would do very, very well in a situation like that. For me, I'm trying it out for a couple weeks. I switched out my roll pen case into this case for work and taking it with me. And the first day I switched it, I switched it back the next day. I'm not going to lie to you.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I was like, oh, I got to switch – I got to give this more of a chance. So I put it back and now I'm sticking with it for at least a couple weeks. And I'm actually – I'm getting into it now. I like it better. It's working for me. I don't know if it's the perfect case for me. I don't know if there is a perfect case for me or if I'll go back to the roll pen case. But it's working out really well in my second trial. I guess I was disappointed at first that, you know, I couldn't fit in my non – my pins without clips in them. Like I have the P1 Premier pin from Kickstarter. I mean that's a smooth barrel and I just don't want that stuff flying around. But I'm making it work now. So I figured out if you stuff enough pins in there, it doesn't matter if it has a clip. You just wedge it in there and it will stay put.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, it will. Yeah. But it's best to have clips. I'll put a link in the show notes to my – to the picture that I posted on Twitter which I called you out for. Yeah, exactly. I sent Brad a tweet that just said this is how a real man uses a pen case. That's right. Because you've been crying and moaning.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' But I did reply. I took a picture of mine.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And of course that will be in the show notes too. My pen case that is. Let's not go there. Yeah, no. I love it. I really, really do love it. I think it's a great case for me. It works perfectly because it fits just exactly what I need. And you'll see in Brad's picture on the far – you have a lot more pens in yours than I do in mine I think. But on the far right you can see the Kaweco AL Sport just tucked in there.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep. Yep. If you put enough pens in there, it'll wedge in there tightly. What I have – And then the far left, I'm not looking at it, and it probably didn't – you know, the lighting was a little bit off in that picture. The pen all the way to the left is actually the P1 Premier pen that's slid in there too.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh, yeah. I see that. That one would probably fit a bit better because it's larger. Yep. But like I have one of the little clips on my Kaweco. And you can't see it. But so basically when you sort of open it up to the part where there's pockets, I have the refills of my pens. And then I have the Kaweco clipped in one of the little netted pockets.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' There you go. Yeah. That's cool.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That fits quite nicely for me in there because it fits quite snugly in that little pocket. So that works very nicely for me indeed. So, yeah, I like it very much. Right. So I think that brings us to about the end of this episode. Now on our next show, which is going to be obviously next week's show, we're going to go through my top five, which a lot of people probably already know what that is anyway. And we're also – I believe, Brad, that you made a call on Twitter for some listeners to send in their top five. So we're going to have a couple of those.
