Hello and welcome to another episode of the Gray NATO, a Hoodinky podcast. It's a loose discussion of travel,

diving,

driving gear, and most certainly watches.

This is episode 86, and we're so pleased to be able to say

that it's brought to you by Monte watches.

Welcome on board, Monte. That's great.

Another fantastic sponsor, real on brand with

TGM and thanks a lot guys yeah yeah a huge respect for those team you know

Michael and the guys there are are awesome and we've had some experience with their

product which we can absolutely

chat about in the ad break in a few minutes.

But really, we've been so blessed with the kind of brands that we're willing to step up and

support the show and keep the doors open.

It's been a great year. A big thank you to both brands like Manta who are kind of like deep in the watch

enthusiasm core. But then some of the like outlying brands. It's been, it's been such a positive experience. I didn't really know you and I aren't really businessmen so much.

This is probably why we became freelancers.

Yeah. But to go this route and of course to have the support of the

Hodinke ad team is huge. It's been so much more positive and easy and such

than I had kind of expected. Yeah, I agree.

And you know, speaking of the Hodinke ad team

and just headquarters there, I hear a siren in the background.

I take it you're back in New York.
