Editing The Pen Addict 60/transcript (section)

== Retro 51 ==


'''Dan Benjamin:''' I would get those pens that the one Ace of Spades pen.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I've got one of those. Oh, that's so cool. It looks really good.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' That is awesome.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You should get it.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' Fine.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'll send you one.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' No, you don't have to send me anything. No, because I don't have a nice ballpoint pen or rollerball.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' What does the Retro 51 mean?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' What does that mean?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't know. I don't know the branding. I don't know what's behind the origination of the name, honestly. But they do. I mean, they do keep it and try to keep that retro style with their packaging and their marketing. You can see it on their website, all the graphics and things they use. So, you know, it's just built around that name, but I don't know the exact origination of it. Oh, I guess that's the Deluxe, the Tornado Deluxe that looks like that. Yeah, that's the card. Now that's, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I mean, I think something like that. I mean, your Pelican is going to go a long way to meet your writing needs. I mean, you don't need, you know, you don't need 10 different pens, you know, you're not having to, you're not testing them out like I am or trying to answer a million questions about them. You just want a good writing experience. So, I think if you had a good fountain pen, what you do, like the Pelican, a good rollerball that, you know, it might be a little bit more portable than the fountain pen and durable, something like the Tornado. So, and then, you know, after that, you know, you might want a real, I don't know if you like the super fine line stuff, but, you know, you can get a couple ballpoints like the Jetstream or Acroball just to, you know, knock around type pens, you know, that you're not afraid of losing. That's the thing is you want to have a few pens that you can take somewhere and you're not afraid of losing too, but, you know, you don't have to use someone's janky Bic ballpoint, you know, with 8,000 layers of germs on it. So, but, you know, you don't, you won't sweat it if you leave it behind either. So, you know, it's good to have a couple of good writing, cheaper writing pens like that. So, and I think that that would pretty much cover it. I mean, you don't, you know, people that, you know, listen to the, to the podcast, you know, you don't have to have a million pens, you know, find a couple that work for you. Like Dan said, you know, spend some money, find the right one and you're set for a long time.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's exciting stuff. I'm glad the show is here. It's fun stuff. We have fun with it. I do know that Myke and I, we get a kick out of doing this show. It's always kind of lifts us up during the day. We have, we have, we have a lot of fun doing it and it's, it's a blast. So, hey, we definitely appreciate you being on today. It's great to be here. People can get to the show notes.

'''Myke Hurley:''' They can go to 5x5.tv slash pen addict slash 60 for this episode. And they can see all of the pens and paper and inks that we discussed today and some extra little fun things too. You can find Mr. Benjamin. He is the founder and lead podcaster at 5x5. It's 5x5.tv, but you knew that already. And Dan is also on Twitter. He is at Dan Benjamin. And I am at iMike, I-M-Y-K-E. And Brad is at Dowdyism, D-O-W-D-Y-I-S-M. On Twitter and he writes at penaddict.com. Well, I think that about settles us up, gentlemen. I like the shot.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' I think it's good stuff.

'''Myke Hurley:''' We'll have to have you on again, Dan, when your pencil case extends even further with more and more additions.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, that's right. We need to get you a pencil case. We didn't even talk about that. There you go. Once your addiction gets deep, you're going to need somewhere to put all these pens, Dan. Yeah.

'''Dan Benjamin:''' No, I mean, I know I do. And there are more questions I didn't even get to ask you guys. Yeah. Well, we'll definitely have you back on. That's for sure. Can't wait. I hope I qualified. I hope this wasn't just boring for people. Is this just boring for people? No. Don't patronize me. Don't patronize me.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We could talk. We could have random Bob off the street talking about just some, any pen that I've never even heard of. And people would be like, oh, I've never heard of that pen. Oh, that was a cool episode. So, yeah. No, this was perfect. This was ideal. People always want to know what other people use. And, you know, having you on here and talking about some of the pens you like, it's right up everyone's alley. I think it'll be, be a hit.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Excellent stuff. We'll be back next week. Thanks, guys. Thank you, Dan. Thank you, Brad. Thanks, Dan. Bye-bye, everyone. Bye.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
