Hey everyone, James and Jason here for a quick pre-intro. Today's episode is a live recording of the show we did at the Toronto Timepiece Show. If you listen to last year's show from the same event, then you'll know the potluck format. We have a great stack of incredible guests and some solid Q&A to close out the recording. A big thanks to everyone who came out to the show, and for those who are willing to jump up on stage and chat with us, it was an absolute blast.

Yeah, it sure was. It was a really fun time and great to see everybody.

And before we kind of jump into the live recording, we just had a few people we want to shout out and give thanks to individually.

And, you know, first of all, everything kicked off last week with our buddies Ken Lamb and Tom Place, who flew and drove in from far-flung places, one little further than others.

We want to thank Ken for flying over from the UK and hanging out.

And Tom and his lovely wife, Allison, who came and spent some time with us, both at your place, late into the evening and then at the show

and a few other evenings. We also want to thank James, your mom, Betty and Stacey. A big shout

out to her. Yeah, it was a family event on Saturday, wasn't it? Yeah, it was. Yeah, your kids came and

Sarah came and, you know, I hope they enjoyed themselves. That was really fun to see them there. Yeah, and I would also add, you know, a special thank you like to everyone who kind of was cool around my kids. I think if you've listened to the show for a long time, I do kind of shelter them from the internet. I don't share their names. I don't share their photos, that sort of thing, but people were so warm and kind.

And my youngest daughter was handing out stickers, so I hope if you wanted a sticker she offered,

my guess is she probably did. I feel like someone who's about to get played off at the Oscars here,

but of course, I haven't won an award, just concerned about being played off. Tom Clements for the excellent hangout and the Lath Table Whiskey.

Doc Parsons, Doc from the Slack, showed up from a great distance and brought some incredible

gifts for us, which is unnecessary, but deeply, deeply appreciated. Yeah, that was amazing. And then,

look, let's be clear, there's two groups that are largely responsible for making the big moments of this weekend possible.

And the first one would be Jason Hutton for putting on the Toronto Timepiece Show and including TGN.

And that includes, you know, Jason and I got to be part of the award show on Saturday night.

We got to do the live episode on Saturday.

I was able to get passes for my

family and all that kind of stuff. So a big thank you to Jason. And then of course, like Jason Heaton and I,

we run into the Jason problem frequently these days. Jason Heaton and I just could not be more

thankful for our friendship in connection with Marathon. Martin, Mitchell, Harrison, the whole team.
