	'''Myke Hurley:''' Is this my Birmingham or your Birmingham?		'''Myke Hurley:''' Is this my Birmingham or your Birmingham?

	'''Brad Dowdy:''' That is, this is neither. Okay. Well, I mean, technically it's mine but it's not even Birmingham. Right, but they would probably say Birmingham, right? They would probably say Birmingham. Well, no, no, no. I was saying it your way but, yeah, but it's not the Birmingham that's actually the big city. It's actually a region, an old historical, like, in Pittsburgh steel, steel country up in ~~Pennsylvania~~. So, I don't know the exact technical geographic naming reason but it's basically the ~~Pennsylvania~~, Pittsburgh, steel city, that whole, that whole thing. Not actual Birmingham, Alabama, which is close to me. So, aside from that background, there's background from Carol in this. Carol is one of my biggest pen ablers on stream. She is the one, Brad, have you seen this? Brad, have you seen this? Brad, you need to look at this. So, like, I pretty much have a list that just, it's pretty much just called Carol. And Carol's recommendations because she's always right. She's, like, always, like, into stuff that she knows, she knows what I like and will therefore recommend the things. So, she has been on me about this Ironsides pen. And I was, like, I'm not buying this pen. Like, this is not a pen for me, right? It's a, so what the Ironsides is, and we'll have a link in the chat to this over at Birmingham Pen Co., which is, if y'all are familiar with Birmingham or have heard me speak of them before, they make a lot of inks, right? So, a lot of people use a lot of their inks. And I do, too, and I've reviewed some, enjoy their inks. But I've never bought one of their pens and they do some pen manufacturing themselves. So, this is a full metal barrel. You know, like the Enso Puma or, oh, what's that one from the UK that you like? I'm blanking on it. Nexus? What was it? Oh, Namisu. Namisu, Namisu. So, yeah, like, a full metal barrel pen. Like, which is great. Like, I like my full metal barrel pens. Just, you know, in last week's episode, I raved about the Diplomat Arrow. I just don't need a lot of the full metal barrel pens. This one is kind of tempting, right? Because they will anodize color match clips and nibs. So, say you have, like, just a steel colored barrel. And, like, the link I put in the show notes, there's a bunch of different colors. But the one I chose has, like, this mint turquoise-y blue nib and clip. It looks awesome, right? But, like, I'm not interested in necessarily buying this pen because I don't think I would totally use it. And Carol felt the same way. She's like, I'm not sure. And then tried it and was actually, you know, blown away by it. So, have you ever had that experience for a certain product in the past? So, like, that's the question here. Like, that was her. Like, this is not my wheelhouse. But I went ahead and bought it, and it turns out it's perfect. Do you have that pen?		'''Brad Dowdy:''' That is, this is neither. Okay.

I was saying it your way but, yeah, but it's not the Birmingham that's actually the big city. It's actually a region, an old historical, like, in Pittsburgh steel, steel country up in Pensylvania.
