	'''Myke Hurley:''' I just don't think it sells at that price. Yeah, and these are small pens, right? Your, like, mental math of what's happening in this picture makes it seem like a smaller size pen, right? And I, my feeling is... Like, a little bigger than a Kaweco Sport lengthwise.

	'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't think that this mechanism is very complicated at all, Brad. Okay. Because there is a very clear design trade-off with the way that the ~~NOC~~ works. Like, this was not what they wanted when they came up with this idea. Interesting. For it to look that way when you've retracted the nib, right? Correct. Nobody wanted that. Right. But that's how it is. So, my feeling on that is, like, it wasn't... They maybe cut some corners to bring a price point down. I mean, they may have even cut corners to bring the price down to $60. But, like, these are all the reasons why I think that they might be going for, like, a more budget market. We'll see. I'm excited about it, though. This is a cool little find. I'm really keen to see, like, I hope we have the eagle-eyed pen addict audience on this one to find it when it starts appearing at different retailers and we'll get some prices.

	'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. I'm sure the retailers, once they launch this, they'll know the prices and we'll be on it. So, this is one we'll track for sure because it kind of falls into, like, everything that we talk about and are interested in pens. And now we're just going to have to edit out this entire segment because we're not allowed to talk about it, right?		'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

	'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm now looking through their HTML5, which is hilarious. From the homepage? Yeah, their catalog. Mm-hmm. Which is, this is one of the worst things I've ever seen. Oh, they're, I don't even try. They're just so bulky. Why would you do that? Like, it's, it's, I have to click to turn each page. Yeah. No, it's not on their website. I can't imagine it's going to be on their website for a bit then. Well, it doesn't exist. We didn't talk about it anyway. That's true. That's true. This is all a fever dream. This episode is brought to you by our friends over at ~~Penn~~ Chalet. They sell everything that you're going to need to satiate your stationary hobby in 2020.

	'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Speaking of the company, which we just spoke of, Platinum, the 3776, some of the base models are on sale, which is a crazy good price. Very good price. Oh boy.

	'''Myke Hurley:''' Now, if you're doing like one letter, you know, maybe you want to break out the wick base. But if you're going to sit down and write, you know, three, four letters and you want to fancy them up, like I imagine these are pretty cool. I haven't tried myself to vouch for them, but I'm intrigued.		'''Myke Hurley:''' Now, if you're doing like one letter, you know, maybe you want to break out the wick base.

	'''Brad Dowdy:''' Who would have thought in 2019 there was an innovation to sealing waxes? Right? Right? Like this is we're finally we're finally innovating our wax seals in 2019. And then we're bringing it into 2020 with that straight new energy. Thanks to ~~Penn~~ Chalet for their support of this show and Relay FM.

	'''Myke Hurley:''' All right, Myke. So we're going to talk about planners and journaling and, you know, what we're using, the tools we're using to get through the day and the weeks and months and years for 2020. And as I prep for the show, it turns out I've been prepping for this episode for months because I'm really using the same things that we've kind of talked about and kind of alluded to in the past. Ever since planner season kicked off right at the beginning of September, I've been mostly locked into what I want to do for 2020.		'''Myke Hurley:''' All right, Myke.

	'''Myke Hurley:''' Next week. Yeah, we'll be back on it next week. It's tough with kids being off and vacation and people going this way and that way to stick to that schedule. So once life gets back to normal next week, we'll be back on our normal Twitch schedule every Tuesday and Thursday, 10 a.m. Eastern.		'''Myke Hurley:''' Next week.

	'''Brad Dowdy:''' You can go to instagram.com slash penaddict or dowdyism on Twitter, D-O-W-D-Y-I-S-M. I'm I-M-Y-K-E on Instagram, on Twitter. Go to cortexmerch.com where you can currently find the theme system journal. I will say that as we've been recording, still selling. So get one. If you want one, get one because it's going to be a while again as usual until we can get these things back in stock. That is a big goal for me in 2020 is to somehow iron out that process. But it's a huge learning experience for me. But that'll be fun. We'll see. We'll see how we go there. You can find the show notes for today's episode at relay.fm slash penaddict slash 391. Thanks to Squarespace and ~~Penn~~ Chalet for the continued support of this show into 2020. Much appreciated from those wonderful companies. We'll be back next time. Until then, say goodbye, Brad.
