Description
In case you didn't read the fine print - this is a pen podcast that sometimes diverts to other topics like watches, the ketogenic diet, and the new HBO TV show "The Last of Us." Buyer beware: you get what you paid for. Which, in this case, is free entertainment. So, enjoy the show and help support the podcast by giving us a 5-star review and supporting our sponsors below.   By the way, this is the last week to enter the #bryceshouldgrowabeard giveaway!   To enter the giveaway, draw a picture of a man with a bald head and an impressive beard. Then, make up a reason why Bryce (from Luxury Brands USA) should grow a beard. Don't worry if you lack artistic skill. We're looking for a hilarious combination of image and picture. Post this picture and caption on Instagram and tag @goldspotpens @penboyroy @inkjournal @luxury_brandsofamerica #bryceshouldgrowabeard   On around my birthday, I will pick a winner that will receive an entire set of Platinum Preppy Wa the 2nd fountain pens (6 pens total) and another winner will be chosen for a yet-to-be-determined prize from Luxury Brands (Bryce doesn't know this yet). If you don't do social media, you can e-mail us your entry ([email protected]) and we will post it on your behalf.   If you'd like to shop for a new pen or try to get Tom fired, head over to our retail sponsor, Goldspot Pens at:https://goldspot.com/?aff=3Use promo code NOODLE to get an additional 10% off throughout the Goldspot Pens store. *Excludes Sailor, Retro 51, Montblanc, Visconti, Edison Pen Co., Narwhal, and TWSBI products.* Also, be sure to put #firetom in the order comments and you might get a special Pentertainment Podcast sticker with your order.It was inevitable. With only 200 pens made, eventually the Waldmann Tango Imagination Dark Teal collection was going to come to an end. Once it's gone, it's gone forever. Then, Bryce from Luxury Brands is going to have to scratch his bald head to figure out a new color for this stunning pen. It's made of sterling silver with lacquer that's engraved with a mesmerizing pinstripe chevron pattern. Waldmann has a solid build quality upheld with a 10-year manufacturer warranty. Go get the Tango Imagination dark teal from a trusted fine pen retailer before they disappear.  Don't forget to check out brlcoffeeco.com for the latest and greatest in coffee from my good friend Neil.
