| 0:18.2 | I mean, guys. Hello and welcome to the Houdinke podcast live from Watches and Wonders, 2026. This is one of our favorite things to do. We get to sit down and talk about some of the stuff we've done today. And, man, we've seen some watches already. Let me just say this is like my favorite thing to do all year. Just to sit and chill?
