Hello and

It's a loose discussion of travel, adventure, diving, driving gear, and most certainly watches.

My name is James Stacy and I am joined as ever by my friend and co-host Jason Heaton.

Jason, how are we doing today?

I'm doing pretty well holding my own here in the midst of, well, it's actually turned out to be a proper winter here today after, I think last time we were talking about how warm it's been.

You got some snow? Yeah, it's actually snowing out my window which is quite pretty but I feel like the our brief sort of

of Cinderella long fall is now over and I think we're in for in for some proper winter.

But I would think so yeah I would think so I'm I'm fresh back off vacation. This is my first day back so I'm feeling a little rusty if I'm honest.

That's right. Yeah. I've been off for a couple of weeks had had a nice time being off and I genuinely appreciate you know the TGM audience being okay with you know us taking that time we had last's episode, which I think went pretty well.

It was a fun episode, a nice way to kick off the year,

but we get to do this one with a guest.

And we have already recorded that just a few minutes ago.

It went really well, so I'm really pumped for everyone

to have a nice sit down with Blake Bettner

and his whole new arc with the deep track.

But before we get into that, how's the last week been for you man yeah it's

been pretty quiet you know I've had one of those weird weeks Kishani flew to to Florida

last week to spend some time with a couple of friends down there and kind of left me here
