	'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. And this is also information that's three years old, right? So that's the best we can do is three-year-old financials for a company that was just sold to another big company. So interesting. Lots of things can change year over year. So that's our follow-up section, Myke. It's really great. I love the follow-up because like we don't profess to be experts and we have thoughts and sometimes we run our mouth. And I like that our listeners give us some additional information and context. It's very useful and very helpful. So keep that feedback coming.		'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. And this is also information that's three years old, right?

	'''Brad Dowdy:''' 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31. Oh, my word. 32. I know what you're counting now. 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40. I got myself stuck here. I got to keep going. There are 40 different Robert Oster inks on sale right now. Yeah. This does not happen. This is very abnormal. That's why I went and counted because they do not stop, can't stop, won't stop over at Pen Chalet with these Robert Oster inks. This is a great opportunity to try one of my personal favorite inks. I'm obviously very biased in that I have a special edition ink for the ~~Penn~~ Addict that I love. But just in general, it's probably, Robert Oster is probably either number one or two in my most owned ink brands because the colors are so good. The quality is so good. I've never had an issue once with any of these inks in performance, and that includes some of the shimmer inks, which are very good. So if you're in the market for some inks and especially some very cool options that are in different limited edition releases, this is a good time to go in and get into this Robert Oster deal that Pen Chalet has going. But on top of that, I see a Y Studio Brassing Ballpoint pen, which is one of my pens that I really, really enjoy. And a couple of Heinz Fountain pens, actually more than a couple, three. So that would be a few Heinz Fountain pens. Really, really great prices. Like if you were missing out on the Chicago pen show this past weekend, you can get some really cool looking Heinz pens that you might see something similar at a pen show over at Pen Chalet. So go check it out. And I see it looks like they've maybe tweaked the bottom of the page and kind of did some kind of block additions into there. So there's like a whole grouping at the bottom of the page that you should check out as well. But yeah, go check it out. Great deals over at ~~PennChalet~~.com.

	'''Myke Hurley:''' This episode is brought to you by our friends over at ~~Uni~~ Pizza Ovens. Uni is the world's number one pizza oven company, letting you make restaurant quality pizza in your own home. ~~Uni~~ Pizza Ovens can reach up to 950 degrees Fahrenheit and cook pizza in as little as 60 seconds. This high temperature is what separates these pizzas from what you'll make in a regular oven at home. So like the heat and the speed, that's how you're going to get an incredible result with your ~~Uni~~ Pizza Oven. The ovens are incredibly quick to heat up. You'll be ready to go in just 20 minutes, which is enough time to get all your toppings and bases ready. Do you love an authentic wood-fired flavor? What about the convenience of cooking with gas? Whether you like to cook with wood, charcoal, gas, or even electricity, there is an Uni oven that fits your needs and lifestyle. Uni have designed ovens like the wood pellet-fueled Fyra 12 and the multi-fueled Karu 12G for maximum portability. They're made for people who want to cook on the go, maybe camping or getting out in the wilderness. If you want the convenience of gas but love the flavor of wood-fired cooking, check out the Karu line because you'll be able to use wood or charcoal right out of the box and there's an optional gas burner for added flexibility. And of course, the Uni electric Volt 12 pizza oven will allow you to make pizza both indoors and outdoors. This is the oven that I have, love, and wholeheartedly recommend. It's a fantastic way to make incredible pizza at home with maximum convenience and portability. Uni ovens are made. For more than just pizza, you can cook juicy burgers, sizzling fajitas, buffalo wings, and so much more. Their ovens start from just $299 for free shipping to the US, UK, and the EU. They also make cast iron cookware, pizza peels, thermometers, and loads of other accessories to help you level up your cooking. I love all the accessories, but I also love that Uni sells groceries too, including their dough, which we take great advantage of, but I've let them do all the hard work for finding all of the best ingredients to make delicious pizza. Listeners of this show can get 10% off their purchase of an Uni pizza oven just by going to uni.com and using the code PENADDICT2024 at checkout. Uni pizza ovens are the best way to bring restaurant-quality pizza to your own home. So go to OONIUNI.com and use the code PENADDICT2024 and you'll get 10% off.

	'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right, before we get into our next topic, I'm going to go ahead and save some emails for next week. Oh, here we go. Save some follow-up. I always, I've never once been correct about the Montblanc sizes the first time I said it. So Toga, thank you in the chat. The 149 is the big one, which, you know, it would be easy to go, hey, it's the bigger number than the 146. So maybe you should say that first, Brad. But just to this idea of me constantly messing up the product names, I had to put a sticker on my UniBall 1F. I don't know if you saw this on my Instagram because I can never get the name right because they make like the UniBall 1 and the UniBall 1F and the UniBall 1R. And it's like, I don't know which one this is. I don't know what the F means. I don't know what the R means. So I literally got a label printer and put a giant sticker on this UniBall because I can't remember it. And I never get the UniBall numbers right, even though that's a very simple one that I should be getting right every time. Okay. So yeah, that's my one sticker on pen right now is my UniBall that's got a big label maker label on it. And it's not even an old person thing. It's like, I understand that I'm getting old, but like, what does the F mean? What does the R mean? Like I, like, I don't know. So therefore I don't know what to call this pen every time I pick it up, but I keep picking it up because I love it. So that's the only way I'm going to remember what to call it. There we go.

Were they like in the hole? But that gives you a good idea of the scope of the business worldwide is that they're bringing in that. And that seems like pretty dang strong for a company the size of Lamy, who I think, I mean, I certainly don't know. They got to be one of the bigger just ~~stationary~~ brands.
