Welcome to episode 39 of the Grey NATO, a loose discussion of travel, adventure, diving, gear, and most certainly watches.

Thanks so much for listening.

So tonight, Jason and I are back, episode 39, excited for the episode.

Jason, I think it's going to be a good one. Right up top we do want to say a quick

thank you to listener Sam who runs an apparel business called Kill Hubris. He sent

both Jason and I a really kind care package with a bunch of various bits from his brand

Kill Hubris.com is the website but it's like t-shirts and stickers and some mugs and

bracelets and things like that and it was really sweet of him to send it our way. It's always nice the t-shirts are remarkably nice that this is not in any way

a paid endorsement Sam wrote us and asked if he could send something our way and this is what

showed up but you know the t-shirt I got is was kind of one of them was kind of

this really nice kind of worn-in pastel teal color with like a chess pocket and pretty limited branding down on the

hem, which I really, really appreciate and really comfortable, great for the summer.

So Sam, thank you so much. It's very sweet of you to send that.

Yeah, much appreciated. Love the t-shirt. Love the Latin phrasing on the coffee mug.

Good stuff. Thanks a lot, Sam. Yeah, good laptop stickers too.

Yeah. Hey everyone, so James here from the edit booth with a note that didn't make it into the original recording of the show because we weren't sure if it was going to be ready or not so we wanted

to reach out to those of you who are interested in directly supporting the

Gray NATO. Jason I have been working on a way to fund the show without the monthly payments of a Patreon campaign or the need of a donation button,

neither of which we thought made sense for what's ostensibly just a free podcast about watches and hiking and diving and such.

So we reached out to a few of our favorite people and we made some swag and then we put that

swag into a bundle and we sell it to you.

And the proceeds from that will go to supporting the show so you get to support
