Speaker
Andrew	Hello fellow watch lovers, nerds, enthusiasts, or however you identify. You're listening to 40 in 20, the Watch Clicker podcast with your hosts, Andrew and my fuck boy Everett. Here we talk about watches, food, drinks, life, and other things we like. I don't even really know what that means. Everett, how are you? It means you put me in a salty mood to start it.
Everett	Andrew, I'm doing all right. Thank you for asking. We had the first baseball game of the season tonight. The boys had their first baseball game of the season. Um, it was very cold.
Andrew	It was like, it was, I can't believe you guys played. It was like torrential.
Everett	Oh, we didn't have rain. We didn't have rain. We were out in Thurston and so there was no, there wasn't any rain. but there was cold temperatures. I think it was about 40 at the end of the game, so.
Andrew	And super humid because it had rained all day. Ugh. That's not pleasant baseball weather. I've never understood why baseball is a spring sport. Yeah. And not like a late spring into summer sport. Like, like school baseball only makes sense within the context of like collegiate competition. Anything younger than that, it's like, dude, just roll into summer. Just eat the first three weeks of summer so that you don't have nine games rained out in the first couple weeks of the season.
Everett	We go from basically basketball season to soccer, to fall soccer. I mean, we'll be playing in August still, so it's just a long season. Oh, so you play club ball? Yeah, they're playing club, so they're playing Babe Ruth. It's a pretty long season.
Andrew	So it's no 182 games. They got to get conditioned for that kind of bullshit.
Everett	It's yeah, that's right. It's, it's fewer than 182. Um, but yeah, no doing really well, Andrew. Um, the, the weather has been nice here today being the exception, but I think like yesterday at seven I was out doing yard work and my t-shirt just beautiful.
Andrew	It wasn't a t-shirt. It was a wife beater.
Everett	I saw. I 100% was not doing yard work in a white theater.
Andrew	I must've seen it the way I wanted it to be. Andrew, how are you? I'm good. I've also, um, I've, I've been only partially enjoying our spring tacular. Uh, the allergens in, in the last several days have like all but killed me. I really thought I was dying. Um, I like the swollen itchy throat. Um, so I'm back on my allergy medication regimen, like a nerd. Um, but I've really enjoyed not having to like bundle up to go outside. Things are about to start blooming, which is my nightmare. I've also been, I've been in a training the last several days in the grass seed capital of the world.
Everett	Quite literally.
Andrew	Uh, they, they have that sign when you enter that County, uh, it's, you know, comes with some allergens. Um, training itself has been cool. It's at the fairgrounds, which is interesting because, you know, it has fairground, uh, artwork up to and including a rodeo clown in blackface. Uh, I've mentioned it. Some people think that maybe the makeup is red that doesn't come across well in black and white. Uh, so it really is just a, uh, you know, about a 50% size human in blackface, which is a little bit shocking to see so prominently displayed. Uh, other than that, I'm, I'm pretty good, you know, just chugging on along and enjoying this early spring lacrosse season is getting into swing. Uh, hurting third graders is, um, much harder than I expected and also a little bit more fun. I don't see why teachers do it. Are you coaching lacrosse? I am. Oh man. I am. Uh, and there's only 12 of them. So I cannot imagine what a third grade teacher with 25 to 35 students feels like for a day. I have them for an hour. And at the conclusion, I'm like, nobody fucking talk to me. Don't look at me. And if you, if, if you say a word in my vicinity,
Everett	I'll blow the whistle. It's crazy because everybody I know talks about your patience and they do.
Andrew	Yeah. Yeah. Everyone. I'm actually known for that, which is like, you know, it's funny that they just test it. So, uh, yeah, I'm gosh, there's this kid on the team, you know, I, I'm trying to reconcile, like this is a new sport for all of them. There is not under third grade. organized season of lacrosse within our, our area. So they go to clinics and they kind of play with their older siblings or they're somehow affiliated with it in some other way. So there's the majority, probably 10 of the 12 kids are nine. We'll say nine of the 12 are really new, like have maybe touched a lacrosse stick eight times. leading up to the season. And I'm not sure what some of the parents are thinking in enrolling their kid in a really physical, not just like physical and running, right? You combine soccer and hockey and it's what you get is lacrosse. It's a violent sport. It's a technically difficult sport because you're like, and there's, there's these, there's this kid on the team who really wants to be good, but is unwilling to put forth any effort. So anytime he doesn't catch a ball, anytime he throws a bad pass, anytime somebody makes contact with him, we're talking full meltdown. starfish on the ground. No sobbing. And, and I, I recognize, I recognize I'm a third grade coach. My goal is not to make them good lacrosse players cause that's just not going to happen. Yeah. My goal is to help them to enjoy the sport, help enrich their lives as athletes and competitors and, and make sure they have fun. Right. That's the kind of overarching goal. And it's really hard with third graders. So we have a couple of fourth graders because it's a third and fourth grade age group. It's really hard to try to encourage a third grader off of the ground in the midst of like a wailing, sobbing meltdown while everyone on looks and is like, he's crying again. I'm like, yes, he's crying again. Mind your business. What happened, bud? Because he has a mouth guard in. So it's just pure nonsense. I'm like, look, bud, it's hard. The bottom line is you shouldn't be good. It's okay. I'm not good at this. And I played it for a long time. You should not be good. It's okay to not be good yet. You got to try though. That's what we're looking for. We're looking for the effort and the fun and the enjoyment. Yeah. Kid hit me with the ball the other day because he thought it would be funny. Like just launched it, hit me.
Everett	I was like, are, are they using normal lacrosse balls at this age?
Andrew	Everything at this age, it's full.
Everett	There's no like nerfed equipment.
Andrew	No, cause that would, it's already a small ball. And to, to relearn the mechanics to change ball weight, inch in size would be a disservice. Um, so yeah, there, it's all the thing there in helmets, mouth guards, cups, like all the armor, some of them like are too little to fit in the, in the pads. So they're like, they look like Alfie from Christmas story. I'm like, sorry bro.
Everett	Like this is what it is.
Andrew	You'll figure it out. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to be a, um, it's going to be a growing experience for me.
Everett	You know, I started playing, tackle football in fifth grade, which is a little bit older than Mark is now. Um, but at that age, it was sort of the same thing. Like, well, we, we had, I remember our team, we had like two linemen that were both, I mean, fifth grade and these, they might've been sixth grade actually, but they were both like, you know, adult sized like height and, and, and, and fat big guys. Right. So like we, we had everything from, six foot giants to like, you know, the smallest fifth graders, right? Cause this is just everything. And some of these fifth graders were tiny and it was the same thing with the pads, right? You'd get some of these kids in the helmet and the pads and it's just, they're lost.
Andrew	I, I remember my freshman year of high school, I, I played in the PIL, uh, I overlapped- Portland Interscholastic League, for those who don't know. And I overlapped with Domicon Super. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I remember, you know, all 108 pounds of me for the one play that I was on the field for that game, looking over at a fella who would become a menace in the NFL. You know, I didn't know that he would be, you know, three years later.
Everett	Well, that guy in his freshman year was like almost 350 pounds, right?
Andrew	Yeah, he didn't get a lot bigger. From from when I looked across from when I when I stood under center when I didn't even have to crouch, you know Typically quarterbacks have to crouch at that age. I didn't and I looked across at him and I was like Today's the day I die the the disparity between Ages of that at that time is is crazy is staggering and I'm glad that I only played that one play and he did not touch me I wouldn't have survived.
Everett	I was a AAU ref and I reffed him in AAU basketball. And he was, I mean, even like as a sophomore in high school, I think he was, or maybe a junior at the time. And it was just like, this guy isn't a real human. I mean, he was just. No, he's a Greek God. I mean, this is just the most massive person you've ever seen. Yeah. Even as a pretty young, at that age, pretty young high school student. It was crazy.
Andrew	So yeah, it was not. But so anyway, uh, it's, it's been a learning experience. It's going to be a really fun learning and growing experience. And I get to be around lacrosse.
Everett	Well, Andrew, you know, unfortunately, unfortunately here we are 12 minutes in, we're not here to talk about.
Andrew	We could, we could spend a whole hour talking about him stomping on jets and all that kind of stuff.
Everett	Lacrosse or even baseball, which is much to my chagrin. No, no more baseball. We're here to talk about watches. Oh, because it has been a week. A whole week. And it really has been a week. It was a week. There's a bunch of cool shit. In fact, I had to cull things at the selection stage. We usually cull things live, right? We'll have a list of 12 watches and we might get to eight or nine of them. I had to cull things live because I was like, I'm just not going to have time to talk about that today. We got a bunch of talked about we've not left ourselves a bunch of time Which is fine because we can go as long as we want because it's our show. We we make the rules Yeah, Andrew I am right now in the planning phases for another podcast a different podcast unrelated to this which almost Almost no one who listens to this will have any interest in listen.
Andrew	I didn't listen to your jingles today I was otherwise engaged
Everett	That podcast is going to require us to be precise with time. We're going to have to come in at 60 minutes almost exactly every time.
Andrew	Oh, that's going to be hard for you. You're the wrinkle. You're the X factor there. I don't know who your co-host is. He's not going to be a problem. But it's hard to say.
Everett	I would say it's not hard between the two of us. I am the one who's more likely to keep us on schedule, but you're right. It's going to be a, it's going to be a different chain. It's going to be a change of pace.
Andrew	When, when we cared about schedule, it was me.
Everett	It was me.
Andrew	Wrong. Uh, wrong. Uh, let me dive into the first thing that I want to talk about today. Uh, because I am the one who keeps us on schedule. I want to I'm not the one who runs long, man, for a lot of reasons. I'm going to talk about a new release from a brand that we don't talk about very often, and we don't talk about them very often because they haven't done anything really meaningful in the way of true releases. They've done some one-offs and they've done some special editions. They've done some cool stuff in the last 50 years, but they haven't changed much. We're going to talk about DOXA. DOXA has done a really new. Don't raise your eyebrows at me. The Jacques Cousteau is not a new and cool. It's a limited edition. We have a true new addition to the DOXA catalog in the way of the 200T, which is a scaled down. Now there's a lot of changes. We're taking the 300 slash 300 T platform and we've, and we, I didn't do it. Doxa has taken the 300 platform and made it a 39 millimeter watch coming in at 1500, 1600, 1550, 1590 on the bracelet, 1550 on the rubber. And this is a really interesting release. So, uh, spec'd out, it's the SW200 movement, which is 28.8, 38 hour power reserve, 25 joules. It's the Doxa you know and love. 39 millimeter case, 10.7 thick, 41.5 lug to lug, 200 meters of water resistance, in eight colorways. Some are unique to the 200T, so they didn't just release the their their typical named colorways they did like a kind of like a matte and a what are we gonna call it uh starburst starburst sunburst kind of like they did a they did a matte and a polished version of each dial so we have all the dials that we know and then some kind of additions which is really interesting uh And I was, we were kind of talking to Sudden Ray, that's what they're calling it. This is an interesting release. So as we're seeing watch size desire move into that sub 40 range, this is Doxa's answer to keep providing that smaller case, that sub 40 case, in their traditional Doxa style, and this thing is gonna blow off the shelves. I think for me, there's some problems with it because I don't want a 39 and 18. I like the dimensions of the 300, which is why you get a 300, right? You get it because you want a big fucking tool watch. That's what you want. Nobody likes a dachshund who doesn't know what the dachshund is. No one's surprised by the size of the dachshund because it's unchanged. It's that OG diver. And I'm a 300T guy because that's what I want. This kind of creates a little bit of a wrinkle because I think that 39 is going to feel really good because the full size also feels really good. It's going to introduce some complications with the dial size. I think it's going to be super tiny even though we're talking about a three millimeter difference. I think it's going to I think it's going to be a really noticeable difference. I want to put one on because I also do think it's going to wear so good. But the colorways is what really intrigued me is this is not just docs introducing a new case and a new skew to their like to their permanent catalog. This isn't a special edition. I can't emphasize that it's enough. This is, this is a big deal. They're introducing a lot of new colorways simultaneously. This is an interesting move and I'm wondering if it is a, indicator of doxa throwing their hat in the ring of like we're not just gonna hang our hat anymore we've got we're good with what we've been doing but we know we can do more because that's kind of the kind of the doxa thing is like hey we have these three watches there's a bunch of colorways you can get some special editions of our colorways but this is what we do and they've just kind of throwing that on its head and like, oh, we do a little bit more. I wonder if it's a sign of things to come or if it's just them recognizing that there was a big gap in their catalog that they really ought to fill because people want that 39, 40 millimeter dive watch and universally like that case shape.
Everett	Yeah. You know, Andrew, do you know what the MSRP is on the 200? I think MSRP and the sale price is like $990. It's about $1,000. No, it's under $1,000 because the 200 was on one of our sub-thousand lists.
Andrew	You know, that watch, I personally think that watch is just
Everett	tip to tail a failure. I don't like it at all. I don't like the case shape. I don't like the markers.
Andrew	I- Because it's a Doxa, but not a Doxa. Yeah. It's all the, it's all the good things of Doxa and, or all the bad things of Doxa and none of the good things.
Everett	I don't like the handset. I don't like the bezel. I don't like the fonts. Um, yeah, I'm, I am not a fan of the 200. Add to that, that I, well, That's all subjective, right? Um, and I know a lot of people like that watch. That's fine. But the dimensions on that watch aren't particularly compelling. It's a 42 millimeter watch with the 200. No, it is a 42 millimeter watch. It's almost 14 thick. It's 200 meters of water resistance. You know, it just seemed like a miss to me on so many levels. Meanwhile, this, new 42 this new 200 T I mean the dimensions on this thing are are terrific so you know it is 42 I think everybody kind of knows you've got the 300 and the 300 T the 300 T is sort of the like really like bulky overbuilt version probably the classic version of that watch the most iconic The 300 came out a few years later, much more refined, sort of a wrist hugger, really a pretty, I personally think a pretty sexy watch, but still a little big. The one thing, and Will commented on this earlier, the dial on the 300 is still relatively small, because the case and the bezel eat it. With this, we're just pushing all that down. I'm actually blown away at the dimensions on this thing. Just really, really terrific at 10, 7, 39 millimeters, but it is going to have a small dial. Another watch that has a pretty small dial is the Foster 11 Atmos. I really like that sort of porthole diver, but it's not going to be for everybody. I think that this is going to wind up being an incredibly compact dial, which I guess just something to note, we're printed all around, but the price on this thing at 1600 on a pizza rice bracelet, man, I actually think that this is, I'm with you, Andrew, I think that this is likely to be a big hit.
Andrew	This is going to slam. And introducing the traditional doxa color with a sunray edition of each of those colors with also a green that is entirely new to the lineup. Yeah.
Everett	Green and is it guilt or is it a, uh, it's like a yellow gold guilt. It looks like, yeah, I, they're calling it the sea emerald.
Andrew	I think it's kind of more Fotina than guilt, but guilt, guilt is acceptable. And I think Fotina would also be equally acceptable because it's kind of an in-between. It's kind of bronzy. A tweener. Yeah.
Everett	I think it looks like yellow gold to me, but. It could be.
Andrew	I don't know. The pictures are hard to tell.
Everett	So on the Sunburst, I think on the Sunburst or the Sunray. Oh, yes. These are all applied. And on the, oh no, some of them are printed. So both the Shark Hunters are printed. They're doing something new. Yeah, there's a lot of different things going on here.
Andrew	It creates an interesting decision point for people who were kind of in the, I don't really know about the 42 and a half.
Everett	These are all printed markers. Oh, well, except for the sea emerald is an applied. Yeah, these are interesting. I actually think that this is like almost entirely win.
Andrew	Yeah. And it creates, like, I want a 300T. That's, like, probably my next acquisition. And this 200T kind of throws a bit of a question mark in that. Because the 300T wears so comfortably. Their dimensions are great. The K-shape hugs nicely. This is a banger. This is going to just, they're going to have trouble producing enough. Andrew, when did
Everett	Doxa, when did Rick Murray reintroduce Doxa? I guess the Jenny family, but by way of Rick Murray, do you know what the timing on that was? Well, 20 years ago, maybe. Well, in any event, I think this is a really compelling release where the 200 was just a total swing and a miss.
Andrew	It was like them dipping their toes in the water of, oh, you don't like the docks of shape.
Everett	I think that this is just maybe not a home run, but a line drive triple to the left field corner.
Andrew	Yeah, this is certainly an RBI.
Everett	Yeah, I really, I'm into this, so I'm excited to see how these roll out.
Andrew	I want to say it in person, because this could be the answer to all of my apprehension of a 300T size.
Everett	Yeah. Uh, 18 millimeter lugs, which might be a problem for some people. I think it's fine. I actually think it works with the case really well.
Andrew	And you want it on the bracelet. You're not going to change it. Well, it's obviously 18 as well. So, but you're not going to take it off. There's not any kind of strap like, Oh, I have these hundred 20 millimeter straps. Like you want it on a bracelet.
Everett	Yeah, and so what? This is at $15.90, that's like $400 cheaper than a tea, a 300 tea, and like a thousand bucks cheaper than a 300. So this is a really compelling step. Yeah. Yeah.
Andrew	Yeah. Cool. Cool, cool. This is a good unroll.
Everett	I want to talk about Mido. How do we say that?
Andrew	I'm not, I think Mido is the, is the answer here. So last year Mido introduced the... I just said Mido and you're going to say Mido?
Everett	We're just going to... The Multifort TV big date. I do believe we talked about this on the show. You know, when this came out, I thought, okay, I love the big date. It's got this huge date relative to the dial, this huge date at 12 o'clock. I wasn't a huge fan of the dials on this. This is sort of like a 50th anniversary of the Mido. These things came in at like 1200 bucks. You know, I'm reading a Fratello article and they kind of talk about it as a Aquanaut. they don't call it a clone, but sort of Aquanaut ish ask.
Andrew	Yeah, it's, it's following that squarish integrated, but not kind of design thing that's happening.
Everett	That's right. That's right. But you know, for me, it was kind of one of these watches that came in at 1200 bucks. It's like, all right, all right.
Andrew	I can see it. It doesn't fit for me in their lineup, but I like it.
Everett	Yeah. I like it, but I don't like it. I maybe don't love it. Um, you know, pretty big watch. Um, but good. It was a good watch. They introduced a version of this this week, uh, that I love. So what they are calling this is the multi Fort TV big day. S01E01, a la season one, episode one, which is sort of leaning hard into their TV, leaning hard into the TV theme. And more so, they've put a, what do they call this? What do they call this screen with the colors? The test screen.
Andrew	Yeah, the test screen that would appear every time you were transitioning from one network broadcast to the next. You've got the red and blue and green and black bars on your screen.
Everett	Or if you're as old as me, perhaps, or maybe older, of course, there was that time of day where TV turned off. It's crazy to think about.
Andrew	But yeah, from Friday night into Saturday morning, you're like, well, there's nothing, there's actually nothing on.
Everett	TV stopped at some point. So, and oftentimes you'd see the screen or something similar to it. So a TV test screen.
Andrew	Or when you, I remember seeing it like when I would, when I would turn on the television ahead of when the cartoons would start and you were just sitting there waiting, looking at static. And then that test screen would show up and you're like, here it comes.
Everett	So. So yeah, so this is a it's got like the dial is a TV test screen, but it's different sort. It's like three dimensional. And has colors and shapes and depth. I depth is really great. I like this thing, Andrew. I like this thing. This thing comes on both rubber strap, like a couple different colors and multi strapped. There's a yellow, there's a like a teal. A bit more expensive, I think this is like 1600 US dollars.
Andrew	I think it's 1550 euros, so it's about that in dollars right now.
Everett	Limited to 999 with an engraved serial number. Because of Y2K. You know, I don't love, so it's a 40 millimeter sort of aquanaut shaped watch, 11 and a half thick. I actually really like the, I really like the, the dimensions on this. Uh, and, and, and I like this dial. It, it's kind of a novelty, which 1600 bucks might be a little bit to pay on a novelty, but yeah, you've got like a 80 hour ETA movement.
Andrew	I, this thing's kind of cool. The only thing I can't get with is the, uh, marker at the 12 o'clock on the bezel. If this was a totally clean bezel. Well, it's not a marker. It is a marker. It's a, it's an indent.
Everett	It, it's a, a date window.
Andrew	No, at the, on the bezel. Oh, oh yeah. Dum dum.
Everett	Oh, what, yeah, what is that?
Andrew	Is that loom? Is it a loom pip? It's a loom pip. And I just can't, everything else about it, I'm, I'm pretty good with.
Everett	It's a non-rotating bezel. Why do they need a loom pip?
Andrew	Okay, that's weird. Yeah, just in case you lose, like you're trying to put your watch on. Did the old ones have that? Have it or don't, I don't want it. I want a clean bezel on a non-rotating bezel. That's a weird detail.
Everett	Yeah, the ones that came out last year have it too.
Andrew	It's the only thing I'm not with in the way of the design. Everything else I dig. Even as a novelty watch, This is fun. Yeah. Like the colors are really bright. It's kind of in that same vein of a lot of the other like artistic releases we've seen of, um, I dig this, but for that loom pit with the 12 o'clock.
Everett	Mido, Multifort, TV, big date, season one, episode one.
Andrew	I wonder if there's going to be an episode two. Six.
Everett	Maybe.
Andrew	Maybe it could be a new, a new thing. I like it. Uh, I want to talk about something and I, and I have two websites to talk about it too. Uh, the first is going to be, um, the Kickstarter page. So our, one of the OG brands that has, uh, that we've ever loved EMG has a live Kickstarter campaign. for the Horizon 2. And for those of you unfamiliar, the Horizon is a... Wow. I'm like getting really old. It's a Hoyer.
Everett	Oh, you're trying. Monaco, yeah. I was like, what is happening? Did you, did you have a stroke?
Andrew	That's what you always say to me, butchers. I did have a stroke. I don't keep this or don't. I'm going to give it a couple seconds of silence so you can decide. Carry on. We're leaving it. It is a Hoyer Monaco homage. That's great. It comes on a cork rally strap, which is phenomenal. This was one of my most favorite watches that's ever come through on our review sample circuit. It is like, it's a Monaco for those of you who've worn a Monaco. It's this big square, lovely watch, super fun. I really like it. Um, so it's on Kickstarter right now, uh, for their V2, they are 85% funded. There is a week or two, couple weeks left in the campaign.
Everett	I think they're more than 80% funded. I think that they're like, I think they're 85, 25,452 of 30 of 30 grand. So they're very close 400 bucks to choose any one of your preferred colorways. So the colorways are all really,
Andrew	interesting and and they're I like them all um three in steel case one in a gold case the three steel one is this super 80s brown with a surfboard kind of gold hue in your minute track and your surfboard across with white sub dials The traditional blue with a white surfboard with blue sub dials. The green I'm not really with. It's it's like it's like a white with a sea foam. Yeah. The green. I don't know why green. Oh are you talking about the green. The true green dial. Yeah that turns into gold. Green and gold are a super common combination. It's not for me. I could see how it could be for other people. Uh, coming on black leather for that, but with white sub dials and a black surfboard, the white with this lady named blue surfboard, white sub dials, and the lady name minute track. They're all really good color ways. Um, the big difference here is we saw VK 60 fours in previous iterations. We're see, we see a seagull ST 1901 in these, chronographs. And instead of cork, we're seeing Horween leather. They're lovely. They're great. $7.50 for two. So you get a killer deal if you're going to buy two. So they're live right now. And second part of our link, Will had one of these in and has a full review on the website. These are great. I love the horizon. And this is a great homage to a Monaco in the design language that makes it super affordable has its own kind of feel to a Monaco because it's not a Monaco but with a lot of influence from it.
Everett	So these are currently on a production schedule. I think End of April is when the campaign ends, so you basically have the next month to pick one of these up. Manufacturing this summer. Estimated delivery in October. Yeah, shipping in October. Dimensions on this are great. They've shared a lot of good information in the Kickstarter. You're getting actual specs and engineering drawings.
Andrew	Here's a big one. 20. So because it's square for like design dimensions, I'm a little bit, I'm a lot forgiving in the way of strap size and our lug widths. So we have a 40 or a 38 millimeter case, which is going to wear closer to a 40, maybe 41 because of the square 46 lug to lug 13, four thick. So just shy of 13 and a half. a taper on your strap from 22 to 16. You're going to get a great, great taper on this. This is money.
Everett	Yeah. Really good dimension. It's really good case shape. The handsets are great. EMG does, I think EMG is perhaps one of the most underrated companies.
Andrew	The Nemo is to this day, one of my most favorite, produced watches.
Everett	It's the same. And I have one that I wear a lot. Yeah.
Andrew	Beads of Rice is great. It's really good on Barton too. That's what I wear it on.
Everett	Yeah. I think this watch is terrific. I think it was a great decision to go in 1901 on this.
Andrew	Yeah. Especially over VK. Because VK is cool. But you can keep the price the same and do better. And the ST is the answer.
Everett	Yeah, this is it's a terrific release and for 400 bucks right now.
Andrew	You're not going to be able to do much better. Yeah, if you have if you're if you're in the under $500 zone. And you want to chronograph, this could be the one.
Everett	Yeah, I think that's right. This is this is really cool. Watch. Yeah. Good job, Eric, Derek and Ed. Way to go. I'm going to talk about I've got a handful of weird ones that I'd like to talk about, Andrew. Shocking. And so instead, I'm going to talk about Brew. I prefer that. Brew, this one will be quick. Nuts. Jonathan Ferrer of Brew has released a metric in titanium.
Andrew	Oh, my boy. His targeted ads are on point right now. I get more brew ads than anything else on social media. I don't like it. They get me.
Everett	I think, you know, he's just done a great job with marketing all around. This is a 36 millimeter brew metric. Um, it's the watch you expect. It's a VK Mecaquartz VK 68 Mecaquartz. It is a, six and nine to register chronograph central seconds, running seconds on at the nine o'clock, but it's in titanium. It is in titanium.
Andrew	We called it wrong. I thought, I didn't think that that titanium was going to be the thing this year. It's the thing this year.
Everett	Titanium is the thing this year. Yeah. These are 500 bucks. It's a, it's a brew metric and titanium for 500 bucks.
Andrew	Is it type two, three, do you think, or is it type five or perhaps any of the other grades?
Everett	You know, I don't know. I don't know that he's said.
Andrew	If anyone knows a metallurgist who would be willing to come and talk to us about typing of titanium for an hour, I'm pretty down with having that conversation.
Everett	You know, do you want to talk about metallurgy for an hour? Yeah. All right. Yeah. Maybe that'll be one of the weeks where I go skiing or something.
Andrew	I'm happy to talk for a couple hours and we can pare it down. This is, this is great. This is a metric in titanium. The color on it is, the color of titanium is just phenomenal.
Everett	Yeah. And the pressure, you know, John does such a good job with the details. The dial on this is terrific.
Andrew	You've got like a stamp on the clasp.
Everett	I mean, come on. Stamp TI on the clasp. You've got titanium that kind of curves around the six o'clock sub dial. Um, this is a cool, if you couldn't tell if you were, if you're someone that was like, you know, I'd really like to get a metric, but I just am not feeling it. This might be the time.
Andrew	Now is the time. This is the time. 550 on these.
Everett	Come on.
Andrew	495. Well, even better than what I suggested. Andrew, what's up? Next up, we talked about this briefly a couple weeks ago. We teased it like we played a little bit more than just the tip, but there is a full review of the notice and pen addict collaboration available on the watch clicker website. For those of you who haven't seen it, this is one of my favorite design lab collaboration releases. It's super fun. Uh, go check it out. I don't know if there's any left.
Everett	I do think these have closed. So I think the sale on these has closed. I think they sold a bucket load of them. They sold like way over a hundred of these.
Andrew	Um, you, but so, so get a look at these and get ready to try to find one, uh, on, on the secondary market. Cause these are super fun.
Everett	Full review on the WatchClicker website.
Andrew	Yeah. Michael Harris got the opportunity to have one in hand.
Everett	Michael Harris, a friend of mine, Michael Harris, friend of mine. A writer for us. Very smart dude and is now a contributor to the WatchClicker website. All right. Meistersinger. All right. So Meistersinger, sort of the king of the single handers. Um, That's what Meistersinger does, right? That's what I know them for to the extent there's a single-hand watch that I would recommend or I would even think about. It is... It's Meistersinger. That's what they do and they're the ones that do that. They released a new watch called the Edition Passage. The Meistersinger Edition Passage. And this is a weird one. It's still a single-hand watch. But it has some really weird markings. The scale on this is interesting. So the way these work, you've got an hour hand, and just an hour hand, and it goes around the dial once every 12 hours, just like most watches. But this one tracks hours, minutes, and seconds. in for the minutes it tracks them it's got indications for them at 60 minutes and for seconds it's got indications for them every 3600 seconds so at the one o'clock you've got a relatively large 01 below that you've got a bit smaller 60 in orange and just below that you've got a bit smaller 3600 in blue And so, and so at 11 o'clock, you can tell the time in one of three ways. So it's, if it's 11 o'clock, exactly, it's either the day's been going on for 11 hours or 660 minutes or 39,600 seconds.
Andrew	We've talked about now, it's your choices a couple of times in the last couple of months. And, and Meistersinger has no business doing the cool shit that, that like really catches our attention and they've done it twice.
Everett	The, I was kind of, at first I was like, I don't fucking get it. I'm looking at it. So the, the reason this thing caught my eye is because it's got a really, really nice set of colors and fonts. Uh, the orange they've used is like this, both the orange and blue are kind of like rustic sixties looking and. Faux teened. They're on this, I wouldn't call that faux Tina, but maybe they're on this.
Andrew	This is a patina to dial color set, but without like the faux, it's that what used to be white kind of turned a little bit creamy.
Everett	I would say these are just lower saturation, subtude colors, but call it what you will. This is where we're, this is pedantry at this point. The dial is kind of creamy. The colors and the fonts are what grabbed me. I was like, oh, interesting. But then I was looking at it and I was like, this doesn't make any sense. But it makes all the sense. Which is true. It doesn't make any sense. And it makes sense. And it's this degree of whimsy that was like, I almost couldn't comprehend it until I really realized what they were doing. They were like, oh, if you want to know that 18,000 seconds have elapsed in the day, You have the ability to tell that. Nobody wants to know that.
Andrew	Unless you have a way too big of a stopwatch.
Everett	It doesn't matter, right? This sort of like really, it really sort of puts a point on what Meistersinger is trying to do. I think that they've got a like, what do you call it? Like a motto, like a relaxed approach to time and our fast moving world. There's finger quotes there. Um, and this really puts a point on that, right? Like we don't actually care how many seconds have elapsed and we don't want you to care about it either. However, however, should you care at seven o'clock, 25,200 seconds have elapsed.
Andrew	My, my favorite little detail of this dial is at the 12 o'clock next to the 12. is the abbreviation for hours.
Everett	Hours, minutes, seconds, hour, HR, min, sec. Yes. I love that too.
Andrew	As if you couldn't figure it out.
Everett	This is a really fun. Okay. So the details, do the details matter? No, they don't.
Andrew	43 millimeter case. It's a big bitch. You got to, you need a big bitch. If you're half a single hand watch. 1,200 euros. And this is a really attractive watch.
Everett	They're limited to 100 pieces. So it's a lot of money for this watch. But I think if you're into it, I actually really like this. This is cool as shit.
Andrew	And the jubilee bracelet's terrific, too, by the way. I'm fully, fully on board with it. What are we at?
Everett	We've got all the time in the world, Andrew.
Andrew	Let me tell you. Nobody's in a hurry. Let me tell you about something.
Everett	Let me tell you something. Carry on.
Andrew	Tudor. They have again broken the internet. I don't know how any of us can even access our email right now with the amount of traffic flocking to Tudor for a Black Bay chronograph in pink. What the fuck, man? It's like they took all this hype that existed around their, we're going to do something. It's coming. It's blue. And they thought that they could recreate it with pink. The blue was just okay. I don't understand it. Tudor has so much more ass. then maybe even they give themselves credit for. Pink is not exciting. Neato, you've done it. It's Easter. You've introduced a pastel. Blue worked. Come on, do better. And I'm disappointed by the even announcement of this release. That's all I have to say.
Everett	A lot of emotion. So this is a Black Bay chronograph, or Black Bay chrono.
Andrew	It's a Pink Bay chrono.
Everett	It is a celebration of Tudor's partnership with inner Miami, which is David Beckham's soccer club. And they were pink. They were pink kids. I mean, I'm fine with this.
Andrew	It's not a watch I'm gonna buy. I just feel like they could do so much more shit that's way more cool. Don't try to hype me up on pink. It's 316L steel.
Everett	What do you mean they're trying to hype people up?
Andrew	Just quietly introduce pink.
Everett	I mean, isn't that what they did? What do you mean?
Andrew	There should be no news releases on it. There should be no excitement. This isn't blue. I don't know. I think they're trying to grab the lightning that they created with that fucking blue hype. I'm still salty about that. If you couldn't tell.
Everett	Yeah, I don't I don't understand why you're so salty about it. I mean, we're talking about like, we're talking about Rolex, right? This is a company that has been arguably the most successful watch company in the history of the world. And they haven't done it by releasing eight billion things. They've done it by releasing a very small amount of things.
Andrew	In very small quantities.
Everett	With small iterative details. Well, I mean, Rolex, I think, makes almost as many watches as anybody else in the world every year or so. We talk about the small quantities. They just happen to be in demand to a degree.
Andrew	No, I, I, I get it. I'm it. You're so salty. I am.
Everett	I am so much.
Andrew	It's so much salt overall, more than one color way is a news release or novel. This is just pink. This is just pastels. What everyone did last year. Nomos with three new colors, two of them black and white.
Everett	Are we news? I don't think we're news. We talk about news, but we're not news. We're news.
Andrew	We're the hot takes.
Everett	I'm just going to say we are talking about it on our show. We will cut this whole segment. So MBNF, very famous Max Busser and friends, uh, company that makes watches that cost many, many, many mortgages, not mortgage payment, mortgages. Yeah. A handful of years ago, they released the Mad One model. So this is still sort of like an MB&F-ish watch. You know, certainly all the style, all the pizazz, but in a much more accessible, in a much more accessible, so when they came out with these, I think it was like 2018 or 2019 they came out with these, and really you couldn't get them. You had to be part of the- The innest of clubs. Yeah, what do they call it? They call it something, the tribe. Yes. Tribe members. And they were the only people that could get it. So it was basically like a $3,000 MB&F product, or a $2,000 MB&F product, whatever. It's a super accessible product. And people were like, what the fuck, MB&F? We want that. Like, why would you make that and then only give it to rich people? Anyway.
Andrew	Yeah, because it's not just for rich people. It's like, you finally did something we want.
Everett	Give it to everybody. Yeah. So they released the Mad One a few years later, and they made a lot more of it. They made more of them, and so people could get them. But still, like, it's like one of these watches that, like, super in demand. Well, they've now released a, they've now released a newer version. So there's a, an artist. I don't know this guy. It sounds, seems like maybe I should, but I don't. Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. Castelbajac? Anyway. Yeah, right. Good luck. He's one of these, French pop artists. I think if you're into art, you maybe know him. I'm into art, but I don't know him. And it's got like a Miyota 821 that's been like flipped on its head. This watch is really cool. You read the time from the side. It's an MB&F. It's weird. And this is an art version. The way they're doing this, so I think that they made 1,000 of these. Is this also a limited to 9.99? Also 9.99, yep. They're 3,200 bucks, and half of them are going to tribe members, and I feel stupid saying that. Yeah, I don't like that you're saying that. Is that what we're calling it? We don't have a choice. It's what they call it. Half of them are going to this insider's group, and the other half are going to be sold at raffle. I don't know how you get a raffle. I do know that there was like a scam alert that they had to issue saying, don't give these people your money.
Andrew	Only go through the website of shop mad gallery. Yeah.
Everett	Um, but yeah, I mean you're not, I think this is one of those things you're probably not going to get one, but if you win the raffle, you get the opportunity to buy one at 3,600 bucks. These things were really cool.
Andrew	3,200 bucks. No. American dollars, 3,600. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I see that now. Plus VAT. Yeah. So expect another grand. This is cool. It's certainly not cool.
Everett	We don't talk about the dimensions of this watch. It's a big watch.
Andrew	Yeah, it's a 42 millimeter case.
Everett	It's 18.8 thick with 30 meters of water resistance. Yeah. I mean, that's just, this is an art watch with an incredibly cool movement.
Andrew	It casts a shadow on both sides of, of itself. It's enormous, but it's an art watch. It's a, it's a, uh, it's a, it's a GFY watch. Andrew, what's next? Um, I'm out of things. You're out of things? Yeah. We're at, we're at time.
Everett	We got to call it. You're going to turn into a pumpkin. Okay. Okay. Hold on. Let me make sure there's nothing else I want to talk about.
Andrew	There, there was a couple, there was a couple other things. We have a really, really intriguing, uh, release from a company that we really love, but we're not going to talk about it today. Cause we're going to talk about it.
Everett	Oh yeah. We're going to talk about that next week. Um, there's the Louis Vuitton thing, which is really cool.
Andrew	It's an all Sapphire case with a turbine on movement. There's like some sorcery going on there. Louis Vuitton is really throwing their,
Everett	hat in the hoot world is a blue nor cane and a kind of fucking rad seven Friday that is the free D.B. It's free to free to be. Yeah. And it's made out of what are they calling this. So this is like a Hewlett Packard 3D printed Castor oil, polyamide, organic case material. It's like a case shroud.
Andrew	Anyway, check out the watch. It looks like it should have been on Alien. These things are cool.
Everett	Yeah. And that's all we'll say about them. New 7 Friday is really cool and kind of expensive, but cool. Yeah. It's made from castor oil. Andrew, other things. What do you got?
Andrew	I have another thing. So, uh, one of my coworkers is going to Hawaii in two weeks and he was like, Hey, you know, I'm looking at like swimsuits. And I was like, interesting. He's like, what do you think about this one? I was like, that's kind of weird, but we know we're talking about it now. So whatever it's like, I, I don't know. I'm like kind of torn. Cause it's like, some are a hundred bucks and some are 30 bucks. I'm like, well, I got this. pair when I went to Las Vegas, like planning on like, I just needed a pair of swim trunks cause I was going to be by a pool. I got them from Amazon and they fit pretty okay. And they've got like two dozen color variants. It's, it's a brand called M A A M G I C. Mamgic. And he, and he is like, wait, Really? Yeah, that's what I got. It was the Amazon special. They have, you know, 20 varieties to choose from. I got baby blue with pink sharks. They're fun. He's like, dude, I just I read an article about those. Like, well, that's weird. They're an Amazon special. He's like, no, dude, this guy like got these that are 30 bucks and these Lulu lemons that are like 80 bucks. And he preferred them. I was like, yeah, whatever you're fucking lying. I liked them. They fit. They're a little snug. I'm a little fat. So it's hard to tell really what the complaint is there. Um, so anyway, like I, I conclude the conversation and I was like, did I get like a weird, like, did I find a, an, a, a hack in the, in the matrix kind of scenario here? Um, it's look nice. So I do some Googling. And I find this USA Today reviewed article, and this brand makes their top 10 selection for men's swim trunks. And I gotta say, one of the things that I liked most about them, so there's two things that I immediately really liked about them, notwithstanding my proportions against the size that it typically fits. And they fit, it's just that I'm a little, I'm between sizes. Number one, I liked that the cut of them did not like suck to your body. Whenever you get out of a swimming pool or water in swim trunks, they're just like suctioned to you. And the way that they're cut and the space that they give you, they don't suction. They're like, they have appropriate structure. to just get out of the water and not like immediately do the away from your business. Number two, because of that structure, you don't get front butt when you get in the water in them and you have to like do that weird deflating of all of the air that gets captured in the front of your swim trunks. Sure. So you don't get immediate front butt. These are, so I find this USA Today reviewed article. They are among the top 10 that include brands such as the Glades, Chubbies. I think the Lululemons are on here. I have to scroll through. Goodfellow and Co.
Everett	Which is Amazon.
Andrew	Yeah. Lululemon, Polo Ralph Lauren. I was like, oh, these Amazon specials are a little bit more than that. They're like the out the back door kind of Amazon, Ollie brand that we see. We're like, I looked to, I looked at a Benchmade bug out on Amazon and the first six offerings are not benchmade. They're all presumably bug outs. They all look identical. You know, the specs on steel and all that kind of thing are comparable, if not identical. It's like, oh, I accidentally found a thing when I was just looking to get a couple pairs of swim trunks. So these are 20 bucks on Amazon. They have 12 color variations, maybe more. They have way more than 12. Yeah.
Everett	Well, cause they've got different styles.
Andrew	Maybe, maybe like liner options and 20 options, uh, up to $22 for them. These are a thing. They're a top 10 according to USA today, swim trunks, no front, but no suction action. They fit nice if you're not a little fluffy. I'm a little fluffy. I'm a little fluffy. I think that, I mean, they, they still fit well. It's just, you know, if you're a little fluffy, you're a little fluffy. And if you're in swim shorts, that's going to be apparent no matter what. So maybe my complaint is just like an insecurity thing. Yeah.
Everett	You're just like, I wish I wasn't fluffy.
Andrew	Yeah. No, maybe that's it. Uh, I wish I didn't dad bod, uh, the way that I do.
Everett	Stop dad bodding so hard.
Andrew	I know, but 20 bucks, tons of great colors. I dig these. These are good.
Everett	I like it.
Andrew	And other people agree.
Everett	In fact, I went on Amazon just now and I was like, I might buy a pair of these.
Andrew	I have the light blue with pink sharks.
Everett	Andrew, are you ready for week three? Are you ready for week three of the EDC knife? Week three of four. Countdown. Yeah. So so for review, if you're if you haven't tuned in in a couple weeks, first shame on you. Second, welcome back. We are in week three of four of Everett's EDC knife rundown. So quick review. First watch I picked or first watch first knife I picked up was a Benchmade Bugout. Speaking of the devil. Bugout is probably one of the most popular EDC knives to have come out in the last 10 years. Uh, hugely popular. A lot of sort of proper knife people criticize it's light weightness. It's kind of thin. When they first came out, they had a driver handle, an online driver handle, which is how they get this thinness and this lightness and, and the Gregory was kind of flexible, you know, this plastic FRN handles. Um, I picked mine up in a full like legit carbon fiber, uh, with a magnet or an S90V blade. I mean, this knife is just incredibly well built, well spec'd. It's a little spendy. Um, and I got it and I was like, I love it, but now I want more. And in week two, we compared it with a Spyderco Sage 5. This is also a quote-unquote carbon handle, although in Spyderco's case, it's actually G10 with a carbon sheet on the outside for texture and aesthetics. Really like both of these knives. They're very different. The Benchmade Bugout is incredibly thin, but great blade shape. Good size, these are all like meant to be worn with, you know, perhaps dressier pants and they're meant to be slim. We're not talking about cargo pant knives. These are meant to sort of disappear. The Sage 5, probably just a touch big for that. We talked about the Sage 5 last week.
Andrew	It's all in the profile. It's in that really typical Spyderco, almost like, ooh, karambit. like spine shape, even though it's not a karambit blade shape.
Everett	It's a leaf-shaped blade, but you just get that sort of big, sort of wide aesthetic with most Spydercos. Anyway, both great. Week three, I'm gonna go back to Benchmade. So this is a knife that I'd seen, everybody's seen this knife, but I just not really considered it until our editor-in-chief, Danny, Daddy Will had sort of suggested to us that this was his favorite knife. And what this knife is... No, this is not it.
Andrew	This is not his favorite. His favorite is a slightly different variation.
Everett	What this is, is probably the most popular Benchmade EDC of all time. This is the Osborne design, Warren Osborne designed Benchmade 940. Feel free to Google that if you don't know what it is. This knife came out like 20 plus years ago. It has been a bestseller ever since then. Warren Osborne was an Australian born, moved to Texas rancher slash knife maker and designer. He designed this with Benchmade and it is a rancher knife. It's a knife designed for doing rancher things. uh, in particular for horseshoeing activities and maintenance. Uh, it's got this really sort of long kind of weird, they call it a reverse tanto, but it's kind of like a sheep's foot blade. It winds up being a relatively long knife. So compared to the bug out, I should have specs. I don't, don't worry about it. It is a good, almost a full inch longer than the Benchmade. And when you see this on pictures, it's like, I don't know if that's going to work. Cause the grip is ugly as sin. The grips kind of ugly. So, so I was like, you know, I don't know, but whatever, I'm going to pick it up. What is there to lose here? So I picked it up and it came in and I put it in my hand and I was like, Oh, there it is. I get it. I get it. And I was like, Andrew, come over here. Andrew, come over to my house because this thing is crazy.
Andrew	That's exactly how it went down.
Everett	It, like when it's closed and you have in your hand, it like almost disappears. It is smaller in the hand, both closed and open than the bug out.
Andrew	Yes.
Everett	That's what is shocking to me. It's a little bit thicker than the bug out. It weighs a little bit more, but it's just smaller. It's just smaller. It's longer. It's thicker, it's heavier and somehow manages to be smaller.
Andrew	It's a vertical axis is notably smaller. And I think that's where it is. It's thinner.
Everett	Yeah, that's right. So it's, it's that, what would that be? The, the X, the Y, the Y is going to be the, the, the Y axis is smaller. Um, And it makes this incredible difference. This, it disappears in your pocket. It disappears in your hand. It is incredibly comfortable. Uh, I've got, what do I have? 11 many knives here on my lap. This is probably the most comfortable knife in the hand. But yeah, that's not true. No. The paramilitary two is really crazy. Uh, but this, this knife is super comfortable and I'll tell you, I wore it today with a suit. I stuck it in my suit pocket. The clip on this is kind of like bleh. But I wore it today with a suit.
Andrew	You need to get one of the deep carry clips for it. I actually have one. Just swap it out. I think that'll make it a game changer.
Everett	It is just an incredibly fun, versatile, it's the blade geometry, the cutting geometry on it's not great. Um, it's kind of a wide behind the edge. It's kind of wide. So it's not the sliciest knife I have, but it's, it's plenty sharp. Um, and, and what am I cutting anyway? I fucking love it, dude. The nine 40 came out of nowhere.
Andrew	I don't think in one, my heart, I don't think I'd like the mini version. This is as small as I want to grip. Yes. And I am 45 and will recommended the nine 45. That's his, thing, which is the mini Osborne, this being the 940 full-size Osborne.
Everett	I think the 940 is his favorite, but the mini is the one that he carries the most often because it disappears in the pocket. It's a little bit less bulky, he said. I'm curious to actually put my hands on a 945 to figure out how different the handle feels. But, I mean, God, I got to say, this knife, I did not expect to like it. And I just absolutely adore it.
Andrew	Putting one in hand, I was like, well, that's the knife I'm going to get. And you're going to buy one. Yeah, I'm going to buy one. Did you buy one? No. Okay. I'm kind of torn on the customizations.
Everett	Yeah. It is an absolutely astonishing knife. And so far, I don't know that I'm going to pick a winner. in this in this endeavor, because I'm going to keep all these these nights. So we've got one more next week. By the way, next week, Dark Horse, you're not expecting it. Truth. It's going to be really cool. I think it's really cool. I don't know that I'm going to pick a winner, but of these three right now, if I could just have one. It's the Osborne. Yeah, it's the Osborne. That's the 940. That's the one of these three. If you said Everett gun to your head, you only get one. I'm going with the Osborne, dude. This thing is so cool.
Andrew	If somebody puts a gun to your head, do they get to keep the ones you don't choose?
Everett	I'm not sure. Okay. I'm not sure how that actually plays out. Okay. I just had to ask. Between the three, if I can only keep one, it's the Osborne. I absolutely adore this knife. It's, yeah, it's crazy. Really, really, really fun. And it's the one that I didn't expect to like. Not even that I didn't expect to like it. didn't understand how much I was going to like it.
Andrew	I think that's kind of the wrinkle with like watches and knives and pens and like little techie machines. It doesn't make sense until it does. And when it does, it's this epiphany, you know, the, the, uh, Veil is removed. Like, Oh, this matters. Mechanical keyboards. Sam like did not like the amount of money that I spent on a keyboard. I was like, look, I want it. I'm going to buy it. And she's been working from home this week. She's been using the keyboard and she's like, I can get it now. I get it. I get it. Yeah. Everything is better. Well, yep.
Everett	Everything is better. And you know, sometimes you don't need a reason. Like when I bought the bug out, right? I didn't need a reason. I just wanted to buy a knife. And so, and so maybe that's the point, right? In, in the hunt for something that at the outset is completely and entirely superfluous. It still exists for a reason. Sometimes you can be really shocked by how much you enjoy something that started off superfluous. remains superfluous and is still just like, wow, this is neat.
Andrew	And even when you compare it to something like the Case Sodbuster, which is objectively a great knife to keep in your pocket, like that still has a place in the conversation.
Everett	Yeah. I love my Sodbuster. I will carry that thing every day. I carry that. That's in my briefcase every single day.
Andrew	My Sodbuster is also in my briefcase.
Everett	Every day. No matter what. And it's sharp as shit because I keep it that way and I love it.
Andrew	It doesn't go with me into court. I do leave my bag, but when I go to court.
Everett	You have to, you cannot take it into court. My Sodbuster goes to court with me.
Andrew	America. Yeah. First time I had to go through like actual security and take my belt off, I was talking to the security guard who recognized me and was like, why are you doing that? I'm like, I'm not a cop. He's like, why are you doing that? I'm like, I'm supposed to. Yeah. Like you used to carry a gun in here. It's like, I am aware and I'm annoyed right now while I'm taking my belt off and I'm blowing at the metal detector with my watch. Just put your watch, just run that through first and then your body.
Andrew	I, you just told me that I carried a gun in here and you're cool with it. Yeah, it was annoying. It's, it remains annoying cause I still, I like residual court cases. I have to go for it.
Everett	Anyway, I think that's it. I think we did it, Andrew. We've done it, as always. Perfect.
