Do you 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:51.480 like do you like having the the what's more anchovies 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.240 on top of it? How many anchoviies do you want 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:55.160 top of your caesar salad? 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:55.360 Two? 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:55.880 Or three? 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:56.400 Three? 0:00:56.640 --> 0:01:00.280 Well, one time I had a caesar salad in the 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:04.039 back of a car. You know, you know, like I 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:07.360 Here's here's what happens. I don't usually eat before a performance, 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:10.800 but after a performance I eat, but usually afterwards, were 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:15.560 immediately getting into a car. So Eddie, he gets off 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:19.160 stage if he's on the show first, he gets to 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.160 eat while I'm on stage. But when I get off stage, 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.160 I got a run. We run to the car anyway. 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:25.920 This time, I happen to have a Caesar salad and 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:27.600 I'm just eating it in the back of the car, 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:32.480 and it had three anchovies on top of it, but 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.240 I couldn't see because it's dark, it's night, and I 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.840 just put all, like, like all three of them in 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:39.880 my mouth at once. I had one bite, there was 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.440 just like all anchovy and I couldn't I couldn't get 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.479 it down. I was. I was trying to get it down. 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.080 I couldn't get it down. I started dry heaving, and 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:50.440 then I was like, this isn't gonna this isn't gonna 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:50.800 end well. 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:51.800 A sea lion. 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.880 Doing tricks and getting finished. I was like a sea lion. 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.600 I couldn't get it down though I needed. Oh it's bad. 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.360 That was a bad chicken Caesar show. Yeah, you know, 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.880 the Chicken Sealer chalad was invented in Cabo San Lucas. 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:07.640 Did you know that? 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:08.600 I did not know that. 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.079 It was a lot of people think of it. You don't. 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:12.880 You don't think of it as a Mexican dish, but 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:16.720 it is. It's originally from Cobbo San Lucas. Don't even 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.120 look it up, guys, Just trust me that occasionally I 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:24.000 have a nugget. Oh all right, well it's time to 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:28.160 turn this show over to the people that made this show. 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:35.720 The number sixty seventh podcast in this country comedy related. 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.800 It feels good, it's not bad, top hundred. We're gonna 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.560 do some viewer comments ed. 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.520 From the Fire episode. I've loved Tosh for years, but 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.480 it's surprising how woke he is. Must be a California thing. 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.400 No, I don't, what do I say? It's not a 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.920 California thing. It's maybe it's a big city thing. You 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:57.519 live in a city, you experience different walks of life 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.840 more than other places. Let's be clear, Californe's got some 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:06.120 deep red spots. Yep, go woke, go broke. You know 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:11.639 who's never said that. My business manager. He's like, you're fine, 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:16.119 everything's okay. You're you're not be as woke as you want. 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.640 You're not going broke. You know what I like to say, 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.919 refuse to evolve, enjoy living paycheck to paycheck. 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:27.239 That makes a good shirt too. Amber episode. I hate 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.120 obligated gift giving on holidays or birthdays. Give should be 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.280 for no reason at all, and just because you want 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:33.600 it because you were thinking of them. 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:37.120 I like that idea. And just Santa just shows up 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:41.080 at your house any random day you're you're just eating lunch. 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.080 All of a sudden, Sanna comes down the chimney, boom, 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:48.360 tons of presents. Holy cow, the chainsaw. 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.440 I didn't leave it, Mark, but that Saint Laurent bag 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:51.280 nuked the table. 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.440 Oh are you so excited? Go ahead, open that gift up. 0:03:54.960 --> 0:04:01.280 See if you liked it. That just scratch scratch the table. 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:07.080 Oh no, I mean that is the longest scratch ever permanently. There, Jocelyn, 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:08.160 you owe me a new table. 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.040 This montage makes me appreciate the new table so much. 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:12.480 The old table is so tiny. 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:17.280 I mean it really was, and good it was only 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:21.919 thirty inches across the old table. And how do I 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:27.159 know exactly because Dylan constantly would would be like, the 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:30.240 microphones are only thirty inches apart. That's not enough. I'm 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.200 getting I'm getting bleed from your mic into their mic. 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:39.800 It's an audio nightmare. So I was like, okay, let's 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.159 get one that's forty two inches. Oh god, that would 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.520 be great, so confrontational. 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.479 I think guys like ballerinas because they're like models with 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:49.360 actual talent. 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.320 Okay, First of all, I don't mean to speak for 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:56.719 all guys, but guys don't care if hot girls have talent. 0:04:59.279 --> 0:04:59.880 Let see it. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.440 I guess you're right Toosh Loves talking about conservatives as 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.919 if they're dumb, but the guy doesn't know basic elementary 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:06.520 level math. 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.599 Math has never been my strong suit. I'll admit that. 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:17.159 And I don't think all conservatives are dumb. All Christian Conservatives. 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.440 That's a that's a different equation. Here's a little math 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:23.200 problem for you. If the world is only six thousand 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.920 years old, but you find fossils that are sixty million 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:30.479 years old, does that mean that God just put them 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:34.680 there as a fun little Easter egg to test your faith? 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:39.640 And Daniel claim as gives us charitable donations. 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.520 Yes, yes I can. And the grooming that I spend 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.360 on Carl every other week so that he pops on camera, 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:46.480 that's a write off. 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.400 I beg for an emergency pod discussing Sinner only getting 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.200 a three month ban and not missing any grand slams. 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.400 Yeah. I don't know what what Sinner did. I don't 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.520 know who he's got dirt on, but the fact that 0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:01.200 he is just getting by with a slap on the 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:06.800 wrist it's also his steroid. You know. His positive test 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.440 is just the dumbest thing you could ever imagine. 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:09.920 Now. 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.240 I know that there's only a small group of people 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.560 listening to this that give two fucks. But he failed 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:21.160 a steroids test because he said his massage therapist had 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.920 a steroid cream on their hand and when they were 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:29.120 treating him, it accidentally rubbed into his system twice, two 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:33.839 different times. Anyway, normally people get like a minimum of 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.360 a year or two years, and he got nothing. And 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.800 now they're like, Okay, we messed up on that. We're 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:42.960 gonna give him three months. So he misses no major 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.159 and he gets to play in his home tournament, his 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.560 home country tournament. Oh shocking how that worked out. And 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.760 by the way, I've said it before and I'll stick 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:54.400 by it. I find it confusing that he's from Italy 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.000 and has an Italian accent and has red hair. It 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:02.960 just doesn't match up from brain Sinner needs to do steroids. 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.719 I mean I watched him years ago. I was like, yeah, 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:10.280 it's not fun cheering for just rail thin ginger out there. 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.200 Tennis has to have a little sex appeal on whether 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.680 it's men or women, you know, Agustine. Agassine knew that 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:22.080 when he was high on whatever drugs he was doing 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.280 and trying to keep his two pay on during the 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.200 French Open, people didn't even know he was bald. He 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.680 had just a big fake wig on with the headband. 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.120 It was like, eh, those are the days. 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.760 My pig was also around eight pounds. Three years later, 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:40.160 she's at one twenty, still lives inside Wonderful Pets. 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:41.760 Oh look at that. I can't wait to have one 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:46.520 hundred and twenty pounds pig in my bedroom. No, okay, 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:48.160 don't even finish that joke. 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.080 Oscar's episode they had a tent on the worm. 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:55.920 I love that comment. All cats, they're the same rage 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.320 that I had. There was a tent and the whole 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.920 village just going for a ride on the worm that 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:05.880 was so impossible to board prior to that scene. No, 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:10.760 this is how we all go jump on Sir, sir, sir, 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.480 we're only boarding group one. Oh I'm on my fault, 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.920 my fault, I'm military. Well then you should know how 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:19.160 to jump on this by yourself. 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.840 Lol. There's a hotline thing attached to this video because 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:24.880 of Toash saying he's going to get himself. 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:28.000 Okay, we can't. We got to bleep you, eddie because 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:31.240 they put that on there because those words were said, 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.080 and I wasn't even I wasn't making light of people 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.320 that end life. I was just pointing out that I 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:42.440 was giving all my stuff away constantly, and that's a 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:49.400 telltale sign of potentially doing said deed. Anyway, get help. 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.560 So you blew it, you gave it away, that you 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.280 were born in seventy four, and then tell us you're 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.120 in your late forties. Come on, man, own up to it. 0:08:58.200 --> 0:08:58.800 You're fifty. 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.679 Oh, I know. This is referring to when I was 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.840 talking about being a Dolphins fan from when they won 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:08.040 the Super Bowls in seventy two and seventy three, and 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.360 then I said that I was conceived in seventy four. 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:16.440 That idiot doesn't understand what conceived means. This is why 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:21.960 we have a problem in this country with abortion. People 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:25.760 don't know when life begins. This person thinks since I 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.920 was conceived in seventy four, that I had to be 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.960 born that year. No, that's not how it works. I 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:36.440 was born nine and a half months later. See, my 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:42.679 father put his penis inside of my virgin mother's vagina 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:50.920 and they nurtured, They nurtured me, and then nine and 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.600 a half months later, I was born in Germany, in 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:58.880 beaupart in nineteen seventy five, the twenty ninth day of May. 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.040 And they it is good. 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.720 It sounds like something straight out of a Bible. 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:05.319 Uh huh. 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:07.880 Why does he think we give a shit about his 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.880 parenting stories and family life? I don't watch this for that. 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:18.000 Well, it's like this and like that and like this, 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.600 and uh it's like that and like this and like 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:26.760 that and uh am I right, Oh, you're right. 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:27.880 Ah. 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.160 I don't know what you watched this for or listen 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.920 to it for. But all I know is I appreciate it, 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:36.560 like and subscribe. 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.160 Ta's show is good, but could be great with a 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:39.840 bigger frame. 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:45.200 I agree, But it's not a frame. It's a border. Hey, 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:49.280 it's a subtle border that makes you feel like you 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.880 could hang your iPhone on the wall and watch me. 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:56.679 It's like moving art. How long have we been I 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:58.960 feel like we've read too many comments. This will be 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.640 a perfect time for me to start wearing a watch. 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:03.760 I need a watch. 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:04.040 Guy. 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:13.640 Enjoy Pasha. For all the money I've wasted in my life, 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:17.280 I've never bought a luxury wrist watch, mostly because I'm 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.760 successful enough that I never gave a shit what time 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:23.360 it is. But maybe after my conversation with today's horologist, 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.680 I'll finally see what all the fuss is about. Please 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:29.800 welcome watch collector and dealer Extraordinary to the stars. 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:31.440 Eric, Thank you, thanks for having me. 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.400 Hey, thanks for being here. By the way, just in 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.800 case your cares, I'm dressed today like somebody that would 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:39.440 sell fake watches. That's what I was going for. I see, 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:44.080 I can already. My first question is normally do you 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:45.960 believe in ghost? But I want to get right to 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:47.720 that time piece that's on your wrist. 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.680 I was fed misinformation that you were a connoisseur of 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:55.280 Cassio G shocks, so I thought i'd bring a kind 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:56.400 of special one to show you. 0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:00.360 Is that that's a Cassio G shock, but it has 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:03.160 a price tag that I'm positive I'm gonna be blown 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:03.640 away by. 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.800 Yeah, it was made for the thirty fifth anniversary. They 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.760 made thirty five pieces, and it's the only G shock 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:13.720 they ever made entirely out of eighteen karat gold. Uh huh. 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.200 So it's like a brick on your wrist. 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.760 Oh, that's amazing. Yeah, is that six figures low? Six 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.720 figures over, one under two? Do you care about it? 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:22.120 Do you are? 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:22.440 Like? No? 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:23.720 I want I want this. 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.280 I've been looking for one of these for many years 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.440 and this one just came up not that long ago, 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:30.880 uh huh, and had to have it. 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:36.040 So I don't wear watches, Okay, I own this Cassio. 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.640 There you go, Okay, I mean you can kind of 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:40.560 see that it looks kind of similar. 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:45.000 It's going to say, look, no, it's it's a let 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.520 me feel how heavy this is? Oh my goodness, that 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:48.440 is so silly. 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.040 I love the irony of this watch because it looks 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.520 like any other one hundred and twenty dollars kind of 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:56.400 a gold tone cassio. 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:59.680 G shock, Well do you know this cassio is eight 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:03.640 dollars yep? On Amazon? Now I don't we all know 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:07.880 Amazon is the devil? Fine, but this watch. I ordered 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.520 this watch in the morning and it was at my 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:11.280 house that. 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.240 Afternoon Amazon Prime same day. 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.480 It's almost as if they just have a bunch of 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.400 these in their truck and I hear somebody want now. 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.920 The only reason I wear this watch is because I 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:25.200 had children, and when I go surfing, I need to 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:26.760 know how long that nap is going to be, or 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.680 if I have to pick somebody up or get something. 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:30.440 So I was like, I need a watch to surf 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:32.560 in for the first time in my life, and so 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.880 I got this watch. Then I noticed on it it 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:38.520 just says water resistant. What's that about? By the way, 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:40.080 I've never had an issue with it, and it keeps 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.719 perfect time. I don't change it to standard back into 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.280 daylight saving said, you switch your watches back and forth. 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.960 You know, I kind of just grab whatever is around, 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.719 and usually I have to set the time before I. 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:52.480 Wear it, so you always make sure that it's. 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:56.440 Right most of the time, except sometimes there's really complicated 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:58.920 watches to set that could take like ten to fifteen 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:00.920 minutes to set. And I don't don't bother doing that. 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:03.960 By the way, since I as a child, I used 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:08.040 to have a Shark Freestyle watch with the cloth band, 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:11.120 and then in school, you'd remember this smell under your wrist. 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.040 Is it an eighties thing? The bell crow band? 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:14.400 Yeah, it's a double bellcrobo. 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:15.559 Yes, yes, like a leash? 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.280 Yeah? Now that what happened to that brand? I don't 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.160 even are you kidding me? Those things have to be 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.800 worth a fortune. Now I'm sitting on like seven hundred 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:25.240 sweaty bands. 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:26.480 Might be worth tens of dollars. 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:27.560 Do you believe in ghosts? 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:28.160 I do? 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.680 Nah, wasn't sure. I didn't know which way you were 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:31.520 going to swing on that one. 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:33.480 I'm a pretty rational person, but I do. 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.120 Did you accidentally put on two watches or is that 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:37.160 your daily routine? 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:39.280 No, no, it's not my daily routine. I thought we 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.160 would be talking about something, so I brought another interesting 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:44.400 watch just to share with you. 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.240 What's what's on that wrist over there? 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:50.080 This is a cool watch. This is called the Shash 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:53.320 and it's made by a Cardier uh huh. And it 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:57.520 was the trophy for this thing called the Cardier Challenge, 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:01.240 and it was for the winner. There's a famous car 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:04.160 race called the Paris Dakar Rally where they drive like 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:08.800 cars and motorcycles from Paris tod Car, okay, And you 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.800 had to win it twice to win this watch, and 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.200 only one person ever won it twice, so they had 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:18.840 only given away one of these watches a surprise, and 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.080 so it's like a unique piece and it was given 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:23.920 I think in nineteen eighty six. 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:25.720 And how did you get it. 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:27.440 It was a watch auction purchase. 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:30.200 Oh man, how did you get so into watches? Obviously 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.760 you cared about them your whole life, but where was 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:33.520 that transition? 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:35.720 When I was a kid, one of the first kind 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.400 of educational gifts that my parents got me was a 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:42.880 subscription to National Geographic magazine, and Rolex always had a 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:46.080 prominent advertisement in the magazine. It was either like the 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:50.120 back cover or the front intercover. And Rolex would always 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:55.440 make these ad campaigns talking about achievements in like human ingenuity, 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:59.440 and you know, Rolex was tied to the summoning of 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:04.080 Mount Everett by Tensing and Hillary in like nineteen fifty three, 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:06.400 and then all these like feats that they sponsored, like 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.280 Lewis Leaky who studied you know, the Great Apes, and 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.880 you know, like the Origin of Man. And so their 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:16.840 advertising was always tying with these sort of like super scientists. 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:19.800 And it just got ingrained into my mind that Rolex's 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:21.200 were very high quality watchers. 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:23.320 I mean they are. But mean you were really affected 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:24.080 by advertising? 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:24.680 Yes, I was. 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.000 I got National Geographic as well as a child, and 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.120 all I took from it was like boobs come in 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:30.680 all shapes and sizes. 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:35.080 Well, that too, you know, all right, pancake ones and whatever. 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:36.880 Where'd you grow up? 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.840 I grew up in Potomac, Maryland. It's a suburb of Washington, DC. 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:41.480 You love Maryland? You know. 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:44.960 I came out to California for college and never went back. 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:46.920 That happens to a lot of people. By the where 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:47.720 did you go to college? 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:48.480 Berkeley? 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.040 Ooh, ninety eight percent of the people we've had on 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.160 the show have gone to Berkeley.
