I realize this episode started with a long opening about our sponsors. Thanks to your support of the podcast and our sponsors, we've been renewed for another year by our good friends at Goldspot, Luxury Brands of America, and BRL Cofee Co. See more about these awesome folks below. In this episode, we help our pen pal, Sirada, with the purchase of a new fountain pen. Tom orders coffee and Roy shops for a new pen under $200.   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.Can you imagine a Platinum Preppy - a pen that is considered to be a super-affordable starter fountain pen for under $10 - with maki-e on it? The ancient Japanese art of decorating things (like pens) usually comes with a hefty price tag. Did Platinum turn the Preppy into "Preposterous?" Heavens, no! Coming in March, the 3rd edition of the Preppy Wa in Maki-e will make believers of you all. Using screen-printed designs, Platinum was able to give this affordable pen an artistic touch without skyrocketing the price. Soon, you'll be able to find all the new Preppy Wa pens at your favorite Platinum pen dealers.  Don't forget to check out brlcoffeeco.com for the latest and greatest in coffee from my good friend Neil.
