Nice little "shout out" from Mike.

After not finding anything for a good while, I landed on CRAYOLAS:

CRAY from "CARY" ATIDS
and LAS from PASTOR "ALS"

Oh yes, you have to AD(D) AN "O" from ADANO
Check out 9D in today's puzzle (along with 14A of course). :D

Wow, I wasn't online in a while and came back to see this. So happy. Congrats.
