Alright kids, what's up? Spong entire podcast. We here. It's all good. Sunset podcast. Beautiful skies.

This evening in Los Angeles. Jonathan Ward is in the house. We could do it like a jazz show. How do you do that? Bring it down.

Bring it down. Everyone's whisper. That's good to see you, man. Good to have you back. It's been a while. I don't even think I've seen you in a year.

I don't think it's been since since go campaign. Casino Night Latch. I think so. Last time I was here as Pimp in the same event.

But just fine. I don't because because you don't have we don't have we're gonna Pimp it absolutely. It's an amazing event. But you got me obviously projects. Hell yeah. I want to talk watches.

Hell yeah. Cause your watch game is so sick. I want to talk about leather. He's got his leather tools out. I lost a little bit of weight and I had a guy cut six inches out of my favorite belts.

And yesterday I was like, Oh, John, you're fucking with leather. Can you make a key chain out of this six inch bit of belt I cut out? And here he is with his tools making making a bit of key chain for me.

So it's good to have you back my friend. Good. I see. Thank you. So we got to go into the watch game because I'm obsessed with watches now. I had a boy, which is deep.

Oh my god. Is it a deep pond? But here's the thing. Cause you have you are like you are a man of taste. I think you're watching.

You're watching my cheap ass. Well, so that's what's crazy. But it's like a $60. What? That's amazing. Cause you said that's from 1910. Yep.

Is it automatic movement manual line manual? Okay. So what do you win? Wine that every day? Yeah. Really? Wake up. You wake up. I can hear it from here actually. But can I see it? You mind? Yes.

So I didn't really get watches for a while. And now I'm deep into the watch obsession. This is in remarkable. What kind of watches this thing? It's a varnish. That's so cool. Amazingly good shape. And you made this band. I made the band this weekend.

So I mean, not to give up like you know what to give up your individual sources of where you find this cool shit. But like where do you find a watch from 1910 that's dope and losing that kind of shape?

Well, often not very creatively, but on eBay. Yeah. But also Chrono 24's kick ass. Is that a bit? No, I have it. Is that a deep dog rabbit hole? Yeah. And then you made recall a major travel geek. Yeah.

So now it's actually even deeper. Cause like no matter where I am, like I was in Germany a couple of weeks ago. And I'm like asking the concierge.

How do you how can I Google leather suppliers? How I go go go tell me. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, when I'm traveling. So I'm looking for unique watches and other countries. Is that kind of antique shops and leather tools and

tanneries and that's it. Like it's because that's when traveling becomes like more than just traveling. Like if you have a goal, you know, you can really end up in some weird corners of the world.

Even just in San Francisco. I was up in San Fran a couple of weeks ago on a project. And I had like a data kill. And I'm actually up there because my son was looking at colleges and decided that college sucks. And he wants to go to Otis down here. So how do I mean?

A tannerie. Okay. Oh yeah. Right here. So I went in like, you know, sometimes the most fun people are totally on the spectrum. Yes. This was that dude. So there would have been plenty of an accrums that would have been assigned to this man if he was today's youth generation. But instead, no, he just opened his own leather supply place. And that's it.

Yeah, you just walk into these places. Oh, kind of. But you had to ring the bell. And I read. Apparently I rang the bell to Timothy because I don't want to be an ask because I could make eye contact with a guy. Yeah. Yeah. And he walks over like total ran man. Rainman is like, um, you, you, if you, if you ring the bell properly and with some necessary force, I'll be here within 60 seconds. When you ring it. Timothy, I might not come.
