One of my favorite things about Houdincky has always been the community.

I've worked for a handful of publications and I've never experienced anything quite like what we have here.

Over the last two years or so, we've been spending a lot more time out in Los Angeles,

and I've been fortunate enough to be there for a number of our events and meetups.

In the process, I've gotten to know the incredible watch scene out there, too.

At one of our first LA events, I met today's guest, Chris Bruss.

Chris is a disarmingly nice guy, somebody who lacks all of the showiness and

pretension that's typically associated with Hollywood. His story sounds almost like a cliche though.

A hardworking kid from the Midwest is working in the mailroom at CAA and before you know it becomes the president of

Comedy Media Titan funny or die.

While he's there he's worked with the likes of

Will Farrell and Adam McKay making some of the funniest videos you'll find anywhere

on the internet. Chris and I sat down with Hodincky founder Ben Climber

during our last trip to LA and we get into all of that and more.

But beyond his career, Chris and I have a number of shared obsessions that we had to talk about too.

These include Grand Seco watches, gaming frequenter Point Systems, and looking for that next

under the radar thing to get way too into. This week's episode is quintessential

Hodinke radio. It's just a couple of nerds hanging out talking about nerd stuff.

I'm your host Stephen Polverin and this is Hodincky Radio. This week's episode is brought to you by Beaum and Mercier.

Stay tuned later in the show for a look at the Clifton Boimatic Coss, a high-tech chronometer

that offers phenomenal value for money.
