	'''Brad:''' All right, a couple of news items before we get to our main topic and I'll go ahead and lay it out there. We're going to talk about my Monday update to the top five fountain pens between $100 and $200. That's going to be the bulk of our show today. But I couldn't help but put in a couple of short topics before then. Number one, I had to show you this, Myke. So I don't know how to explain this to our audio listeners. So you're going to have to go to the show notes for this. But the short version, you sound concerned about me adding this, but I had to do it. So there's an Instagram account of a ~~Penn~~ user. The Instagram account is called LikeNateChampion. And if you click on this link, it is the wildest, craziest ~~Penn~~ stand that you've ever seen. And I had no idea what is happening here. And the story goes that LikeNateChampion was talking about just, you know, telling a story about, you know, the dragon sitting on the pile of gold. And someone sketched the dragon sitting on a pile of gold the way he was talking about it. Then the next thing you know, someone 3D printed the dragon sitting on the pile of gold. And there was one, two, three, four pens, I think, sticking out of this thing. So there's this massive 3D printed dragon.

	'''Brad:''' Yeah, so the, the Briolette's one of the, I think one of the original designs or maybe in the second round of designs, it's a smaller Bennu pen. The price is outrageous. If you like the outrageousness of their materials that Bennu uses, that's a really, really good deal to get into one of those pens and to try one out for the first time. So yeah, that looks, that looks awesome. And then they have one of the larger models, the Supreme, but they just have like a singular design on that. But the Briolette has several, several designs at a price that I've, I've never seen the Bennu pens before. And I'm a Bennu pen fan and we're going to have a new one, one of their new models coming out. We're going to have a review on that, on the penannict.com soon. But I am a fan of the Bennu pen. So yeah, definitely check those out.		'''Brad:''' Yeah, so the, the Briolette's one of the, I think one of the original designs or maybe in the second round of designs, it's a smaller Bennu pen.

	'''Myke:''' Like, they have a matte silver one, which is nice. They also have one called Flame, which is like that torched. Right. And you know what? I actually can get on board with those. What I think I don't like is when they break up the collar. I don't know why that bothers me. I got you.		'''Myke:''' Like, they have a matte silver one, which is nice.

	'''Brad:''' Yeah. So I just bought the black stripe one. I don't know if that's the name of it, but that's what I'm calling it. I don't have it yet. It's like a pre-order with ~~Penn~~ Chalet. Right. That I bought for my personal use, right? Like I paid, you know, the full price and used our ~~Penn~~ Chalet code, right? That's what I think about the Arrow. Now, that's a more expensive model. That's a premium Arrow. That is not in this category, you know, because it was over $200. But they have a large amount of variety, mostly just in color, in the standard $180 model.		'''Brad:''' Yeah. So I just bought the black stripe one.

	'''Myke:''' I just Googled Diplomat ~~Penn~~ Chalet, and the first result was Colt Pens. So, yeah. All right. What I'll say is I will retract my statement in saying there are some here that I do like, but when they have just a solid color, I don't like it. I don't know why. Yeah. I like it when they mix it up a bit.		'''Myke:''' I just Googled Diplomat Pen Chalet, and the first result was Colt Pens. So, yeah. All right.

	'''Brad:''' I don't think you have to retract anything. You don't know any one explanation. Like, this is one of those things that I definitely believe in and definitely needs to be stated more is like, we don't all have to like the same stuff. It's okay. Like, it's going to be okay.

	'''Myke:''' only made sense. Good. It's very much in a beta process at the moment because, you know, both us and cotton bureau are kind of working this out as we go along a little bit, because this is the first time cotton bureau have offered this, uh, but you can buy one and then you get entered into basically a quarterly shipping schedule and it's a fixed shipping schedule. This is the way that we're dealing with it, right? Because if you bought one and then we just shipped you one every three months or so, that would be fine, but that would be a nightmare for management. So you buy one and it tells you on the page when you'll get your next one. And then you, from then you'll make sure we'll make sure that you have one before the start of every quarter so that, you know, you'll have one before first of October, first of January, that kind of thing. Um, and it says on the website, when you, when you go on the theme system journal page, you kind of get an idea of it. And yeah, we're trying this out and we're going to see how it works. Uh, it's cheaper if you subscribe. So instead of $25, it's $20 per time. And we also include some little extras, stickers and stuff that only subscribers get. So you can check that out cortexmerch.com. Uh, it could be a good option. Uh, might talk about this more in the future. Once I've actually, once we've actually gotten a sense for, uh, how this thing is working, you know? Okay, cool. Uh, so yeah, theme system journal, you can go to theme system.com as well. If you want to learn more about it, brand new website, which I also haven't spoken about on the show, because I'm terrible, I suppose. Maybe it's good. I talk, we talk about it enough on cortex. If you listen there, you'll get, you know what's going on. Um, I'm Myke, I am YKE on Twitter and Instagram, mike.live for Twitch streaming. Thanks so much to ~~Penn~~ Chalet and Squarespace for the support of the show. But most of all, thank you for listening until then. Say goodbye, Brad Dowdy.		'''Myke:''' only made sense. Good.
