'''Myke Hurley:''' Okay. So a million people have sent this to us. It is a $20,000 pen, which is, I mean,

'''Brad Dowdy:''' you're way underselling it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I got like two minutes into the explanation of this thing and just had to close the tabs because it was just too much for me. It is a, it's like, it's a rocket pen with a huge base. I've just, so I'm, I couldn't be less interested in this because it's just, it just, it's just, I'm fed up of this ridiculous crap where these companies are making these pens for tens of thousands of dollars just to get publicity. It really, I'm fed up of it. I'm fed up of it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Wow. I did not expect this. Jeez. Settle down, Myke.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's like that pen, who made that pen with the four inks that went in it? Right? Was that Monte Grappor or someone?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Visconti. Right. It was one of those. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And it annoys me because it's these pen companies that know that this stuff is crap. Right? Because this one was a collaboration between MBNF, which I think is a design studio, and Caran Dache. And like, Caran Dache know this is dumb. Like, they know this is ridiculous, that nobody can afford this. Nobody would buy it. The people that would buy it don't care. And they're only doing it so they get the press for it because this has been everywhere the last few days. It's, it's just dumb publicity stunts which undermines the stuff that, that is to be enjoyed about these things. I'm fed up with it. Wow. Didn't expect that, did you? I did not expect that. That's a Brad Downey level

'''Brad Dowdy:''' anger there. Excuse me. Yeah, that was like, wow. I did not see that coming. But, I mean, I disagree with you just in the, I just laughed at it. Like, it didn't get me all hot and bothered like you. I just laughed at it. I think it's funny.
