'''Brad Dowdy:''' 45,000.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, in what, a week?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, so 15,000 three-packs. Yeah, I think, yeah, right at a week or nine days, something like that.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' Yeah, I wonder if that business is working out well for Jim or not.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm not sure. I think it's on the rocks. Yeah, I think Jim's trying to figure out a strategy on how he should really take this business.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You're a Field Notes. You own Field Notes, Dan, right?

'''Dan Benjamin:''' I mean, not the company. I'm a user.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' I've got the 50. I'm still working my way through the 50 states. Did you know that we have 50 states, 51 or two now? I think they keep adding them here in the U.S.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Hmm, interesting.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' And they did a series where they did a field note for each of the states.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I have a California set.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' Well, that's nice, because you've been to California.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Mm-hmm.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' I mean, I think they should add more states. I hear that London is going to be a state. They're going to call it New London. And they're going to make it legal to drive on the left side.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Mm-hmm. I'm just saying, I'm just throwing it out there. Yeah.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' It's so cool to see Myke in the United States, wasn't it? Walking around, T-shirt on. Sunburned. Yeah. Sunburned instantly. He got off the plane. From walking from the plane, just from the window of the plane being opened, as soon as he landed in the states, instant sunburn on his arm. And then as he's walking from the airport to a taxi, the rest of his body turned completely burned, completely red.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Alcatraz ruined me.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' And all you ate, what was up with you eating? I don't know if this was just you. With all the Brits walking around here eating grilled cheese sandwiches, like they've never had grilled cheese sandwiches. I went to the U.S. and I ate a grilled cheese sandwich. What did you have, Jeeves? I mean, it's just such a strange thing that all of you guys did this everywhere we went, grilled cheese. Do you not have it there? Is this like an American thing? Yeah. Like, I had tea in London. You know, like, what would you like to drink? I'll have some tea. Well, this is a nightclub. We don't have any tea. But I'm in London. You know, like, is that the thing for you guys?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, I have never had a grilled cheese in a restaurant before. And this one, the one that you're referring to is a restaurant.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' Everywhere we went, you had grilled cheese.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh, that's a good point, actually, because I had grilled cheese a couple of days later for breakfast. Well, it was meant to be breakfast, and then it became lunch.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' But you know what I'm saying.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, I had lots of grilled cheese sandwiches. There's no denying that.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' Is that a thing? Like, if I were to go to London and say, I'm American, would they just say, oh, you must eat a lot of grilled cheese over there in the country?

'''Myke Hurley:''' We would just, you would just be handed the only grilled cheese sandwich in all of the UK. Yeah. Like, we keep, every restaurant has one just in case of Americans. Like, it has, like, that glass on the wall, and it's, like, break glass in case of Americans.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' Right. No, this all makes, starting to make some sense to me. But this is derailing your show. This isn't what people tune in for, is it?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, they're tuning in for you this week, so. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think this is actually what, is what they tune in for, so, yeah, we're all good.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' As long as, you know, as long as I'm working, working for you guys, I'm happy.
