Hello and welcome to another episode of the Grey NATO, a loose discussion of travel, adventure, diving, driving, gear, and most certainly watches. This is episode 362, which also happens to coincide with roughly our 10th year of doing TGN as of this week. And it's proudly brought to you by the always growing TGN supporter crew. We thank

you all so much for your continued support. And if you'd like to support the show, please visit thegraynado.com for more details. My name is Jason Heaton and I'm joined as ever by my friend and co-host for the past decade, James Stacey in Toronto. James. What's going on, man? Happy anniversary. Yeah, happy anniversary. I think this is loosely as close as we'll get to threading the needle of 10 years roughly right on. It might have been off by a day or two or something like that, but I think I think we're pretty close. I don't even remember if I'm honest because like I said, with the SoundCloud change that we had a couple years ago, we lost some of the dates. I don't remember if we were originally publishing on Thursdays. I feel like we always have done Thursdays. The first one might have just been when I finished editing it. Well, I just, the reason I remember about a month or so ago, I remember looking up when SAHH of 2016 was, and then our episode was like the week after. And so that's how it, and if it was a Thursday,

then it was like the 26th in 2016. So, yeah, we're close. We're close. So for sure. Yeah.

I believe that episode was called All Luxed Out. And I think that kind of has kept,

kept largely connected to the show since then. Yeah.

But yeah, this will be a really fun one. We've gotten an absolutely incredible guest that we want to obviously get too quickly. You can't really bury the lead when your name is in the title. But we'll get there in, in just a moment. Jason, you've got a little bit of housekeeping, some updates on some stuff we've been talking about? Yeah, episode or two ago, I mentioned that we were out of the 20 millimeter TGN straps that we send out to new annual subscribers as part of our supporter

kit with some decals. And happy to report those are back in stock. Our supplier was very quick.

Turn that around in a couple of weeks. And I've got a full

set of 20 millimeter straps. So if you are a first time annual subscriber and you've been waiting

to order your strap in a 20 millimeter size, we obviously still have 22 as well. I can go ahead and

do that. I've removed the out of stock notice on the website. And just to remind everybody that

we're still not selling straps

separately. These are for first-time annual subscribers only. So when you get your substack invite,

which is our platform for subscriptions and for notes, that will have the instructions on,

and a link on how to order your supporter kit. So follow those instructions or ping us at the Granado at gmail.com for the details with that.

And then one other piece of housekeeping also related to the TGN shop.

We've had a few notices of out of stock orders for the what's so-called dad hat in olive drab green and printful I contacted them about

why they weren't notifying me about out-of-stock items and now I'm getting those notifications.

So I've put that out of stock on the website and we'll restore that as soon as possible whenever

that gets back in stock. But if you were hoping to get one of those hats, you'll have to wait a little longer.

So that's kind of the housekeeping or the boring news up front here.

Let's, we should get into it, huh?
