'''Myke Hurley:''' Hello and welcome to episode 60 of The Pen Addict podcast, a weekly show where we discuss pens, paper, and the analogue tools that you love so dearly. My name is Myke Hurley and I am joined by a man who has surely a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame of Pendum, that is Mr. Brad Dowdy.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Wow, I'm heading that direction, right? At least?

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm pretty sure if there was anyone that was going to be there, it would be you. But we have a bona fide star with us today.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, speaking of stars...

'''Myke Hurley:''' Why don't you introduce our guest, Brad?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, we have the one and only Mr. Dan Benjamin of the 5x5 Network. Hey, Dan. Hey, guys. How are you doing?

'''Dan Benjamin:''' Very well. How are you? Doing all right. Like I said, I know you guys said before the show, you said you had to do some follow-up and you had other things. I just want to say, for the record, I'm not qualified to be on this show. You are. Let's put that out there. Set everyone's expectations.

'''Myke Hurley:''' When our regular listeners hear what pens you own, you will be instantly qualified. Trust me. Trust me.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, you are one of us. There's no doubt. Whether you're willing to participate, I don't know.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' Buy nice fountain pens for all my employees.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Excellent.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' Wow.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We need to do all that as well. We will definitely talk about that.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' Okay. We'll talk about all this. I spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on this for these people. Awesome. You're a good boss. Yeah. Should I tell them that? They don't say thank you, by the way. Disgraceful. They never thank me.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Never. So, Brad, some follow-up before we start?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, yeah. Before we really get into it with Dan, we want to follow up on one item that we talked about last week. And apparently, I've got some superpowers, at least some Kreskin-like skills, because I predicted last week that this latest Field Notes Night Sky edition would sell out before their last Colors edition, which is the America is Beautiful edition. And lo and behold, about, what, two or three days after last week's podcast, they sent out the note saying, hey, they're all gone. I was pretty shocked. What did you think when you saw that note come out?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, I DM'd you the link to the post straight away, because it was very fast. How many books was it, again? I forgot.
