    Ep.109- Adpatina and the Importance of Connecting Past to Present with Watches, Travel, Cars, and More
    Nov 11 2025
    "It's all about nostalgia. It connects you to the past, and the idea is for you to inject some of the past into your present... let it neutralize some of the chaos and craziness of today."-- Nick, aka @adpatina. Wow. It's hard to imagine a more concise and accurate description of the allure of "vintage" in our little constellation of overlapping hobbies. Are you deep into watches, cars, cameras, travel, militaria, or whatever..? If the answer is "yes", then chances are there are some corners of your areas of interest that focus on the cool stuff (whatever it may be) from days gone by. We talk about all of this over a cocktail with Nick. SoCal Spoiler Alert: Nick will be in San Diego on Nov 15th, if you want to check out his wares in person! Thanks for listening.

  • Ep.108- NeoVintage “Summer Watches” with Trevor from Paré Paré

    Ep.108- NeoVintage “Summer Watches” with Trevor from Paré Paré
    Aug 31 2025
    It's the time of year from "best watches for Summer!" lists, and we agree that it's a topic that has been done to death. In this episode, Matt and Trevor (from the Paré Paré Podcast) team up to talk Summer watches, but with a neo vintage twist. Rather than listing current releases, we've gone into the late 19080's to the early 2000's to pick a stable of older-but-still-relevant pieces, and for a variety of pre-owned budgets. That's right- we are keeping the topic fresh by focusing on older watches, and it turns out to be pretty cool! Thanks for listening.

  • Ep.107- @thepilotswatch Drops Anchor On The Topic of Watches & Helicopter Aviation

    Ep.107- @thepilotswatch Drops Anchor On The Topic of Watches & Helicopter Aviation
    Jul 13 2025
    It's been a minute; thanks for checking back in! In this episode, Matt is joined by Michael, the man behind the popular "MilWatch"-themed @thepilotswatch, to talk about his feed, his watches, and his life as a US Navy helicopter pilot. Michael DEFINITELY came correct for this discussion, with one of Matt’s grail watches as his “wrist check”, and a new (to us!) riff on a “Last Word” cocktail. Very cool! This is another fun one, even IF Michael confesses to liking Laphroaig(!) early on in the chat.

    Ep.106- F/A-18 Pilot Jack Stewart; Author, Adversary Pilot, Watch Guy
    May 18 2025
    In this episode we are joined by Jack Stewart, a US Navy F/A-18 pilot turned best-selling author. Jack is the author of 3 (soon to be 4) aviation action thriller novels, and he's on his way to being ranked among the greats in the genre, in our humble opinion. It also happens that Mr. Stewart is a bit of a watch guy in his own right! We talk about the books, the flying, the watches, and perhaps most important... how he got his callsign; "FARLEY". This is another fun one. Check it out!

Time will tell. In the meantime, thanks for listening.
