Speaker 1: Does your three year old's son already have a Rolex?
Speaker 1: Be honest, yes he does. Pashha Cosha show. All right,
Speaker 1: it's Tosh show time. If you're happy and you know it,
Speaker 1: give me one of those.
Speaker 2: Pretty happy you're related d twelve horses out front.
Speaker 1: I'm in a good mood for no reason. How are
Speaker 1: you doing, Eddie?
Speaker 2: Pretty good? Better now knowing that you're doing.
Speaker 3: So good, Eddie?
Speaker 1: What's your favorite meal? Oh?
Speaker 2: My favorite meal chicken caesar salad. What I just love
Speaker 2: a good chicken caesar salad.
Speaker 1: Eddie's favorite meal is a chicken caesar salad. Do you
Speaker 1: like do you like having the the what's more anchovies
Speaker 1: on top of it? How many anchoviies do you want
Speaker 1: top of your caesar salad?
Speaker 4: Two?
Speaker 1: Or three?
Speaker 3: Three?
Speaker 1: Well, one time I had a caesar salad in the
Speaker 1: back of a car. You know, you know, like I
Speaker 1: Here's here's what happens. I don't usually eat before a performance,
Speaker 1: but after a performance I eat, but usually afterwards, were
Speaker 1: immediately getting into a car. So Eddie, he gets off
Speaker 1: stage if he's on the show first, he gets to
Speaker 1: eat while I'm on stage. But when I get off stage,
Speaker 1: I got a run. We run to the car anyway.
Speaker 1: This time, I happen to have a Caesar salad and
Speaker 1: I'm just eating it in the back of the car,
Speaker 1: and it had three anchovies on top of it, but
Speaker 1: I couldn't see because it's dark, it's night, and I
Speaker 1: just put all, like, like all three of them in
Speaker 1: my mouth at once. I had one bite, there was
Speaker 1: just like all anchovy and I couldn't I couldn't get
Speaker 1: it down. I was. I was trying to get it down.
Speaker 1: I couldn't get it down. I started dry heaving, and
Speaker 1: then I was like, this isn't gonna this isn't gonna
Speaker 1: end well.
Speaker 2: A sea lion.
Speaker 1: Doing tricks and getting finished. I was like a sea lion.
Speaker 1: I couldn't get it down though I needed. Oh it's bad.
Speaker 1: That was a bad chicken Caesar show. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: the Chicken Sealer chalad was invented in Cabo San Lucas.
Speaker 1: Did you know that?
Speaker 2: I did not know that.
Speaker 1: It was a lot of people think of it. You don't.
Speaker 1: You don't think of it as a Mexican dish, but
Speaker 1: it is. It's originally from Cobbo San Lucas. Don't even
Speaker 1: look it up, guys, Just trust me that occasionally I
Speaker 1: have a nugget. Oh all right, well it's time to
Speaker 1: turn this show over to the people that made this show.
Speaker 1: The number sixty seventh podcast in this country comedy related.
Speaker 1: It feels good, it's not bad, top hundred. We're gonna
Speaker 1: do some viewer comments ed.
Speaker 2: From the Fire episode. I've loved Tosh for years, but
Speaker 2: it's surprising how woke he is. Must be a California thing.
Speaker 1: No, I don't, what do I say? It's not a
Speaker 1: California thing. It's maybe it's a big city thing. You
Speaker 1: live in a city, you experience different walks of life
Speaker 1: more than other places. Let's be clear, Californe's got some
Speaker 1: deep red spots. Yep, go woke, go broke. You know
Speaker 1: who's never said that. My business manager. He's like, you're fine,
Speaker 1: everything's okay. You're you're not be as woke as you want.
Speaker 1: You're not going broke. You know what I like to say,
Speaker 1: refuse to evolve, enjoy living paycheck to paycheck.
Speaker 2: That makes a good shirt too. Amber episode. I hate
Speaker 2: obligated gift giving on holidays or birthdays. Give should be
Speaker 2: for no reason at all, and just because you want
Speaker 2: it because you were thinking of them.
Speaker 1: I like that idea. And just Santa just shows up
Speaker 1: at your house any random day you're you're just eating lunch.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Sanna comes down the chimney, boom,
Speaker 1: tons of presents. Holy cow, the chainsaw.
Speaker 2: I didn't leave it, Mark, but that Saint Laurent bag
Speaker 2: nuked the table.
Speaker 1: Oh are you so excited? Go ahead, open that gift up.
Speaker 1: See if you liked it. That just scratch scratch the table.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I mean that is the longest scratch ever permanently. There, Jocelyn,
Speaker 1: you owe me a new table.
Speaker 2: This montage makes me appreciate the new table so much.
Speaker 2: The old table is so tiny.
Speaker 1: I mean it really was, and good it was only
Speaker 1: thirty inches across the old table. And how do I
Speaker 1: know exactly because Dylan constantly would would be like, the
Speaker 1: microphones are only thirty inches apart. That's not enough. I'm
Speaker 1: getting I'm getting bleed from your mic into their mic.
Speaker 1: It's an audio nightmare. So I was like, okay, let's
Speaker 1: get one that's forty two inches. Oh god, that would
Speaker 1: be great, so confrontational.
Speaker 2: I think guys like ballerinas because they're like models with
Speaker 2: actual talent.
Speaker 1: Okay, First of all, I don't mean to speak for
Speaker 1: all guys, but guys don't care if hot girls have talent.
Speaker 1: Let see it.
Speaker 2: I guess you're right Toosh Loves talking about conservatives as
Speaker 2: if they're dumb, but the guy doesn't know basic elementary
Speaker 2: level math.
Speaker 1: Math has never been my strong suit. I'll admit that.
Speaker 1: And I don't think all conservatives are dumb. All Christian Conservatives.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a different equation. Here's a little math
Speaker 1: problem for you. If the world is only six thousand
Speaker 1: years old, but you find fossils that are sixty million
Speaker 1: years old, does that mean that God just put them
Speaker 1: there as a fun little Easter egg to test your faith?
Speaker 2: And Daniel claim as gives us charitable donations.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes I can. And the grooming that I spend
Speaker 1: on Carl every other week so that he pops on camera,
Speaker 1: that's a write off.
Speaker 2: I beg for an emergency pod discussing Sinner only getting
Speaker 2: a three month ban and not missing any grand slams.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know what what Sinner did. I don't
Speaker 1: know who he's got dirt on, but the fact that
Speaker 1: he is just getting by with a slap on the
Speaker 1: wrist it's also his steroid. You know. His positive test
Speaker 1: is just the dumbest thing you could ever imagine.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: I know that there's only a small group of people
Speaker 1: listening to this that give two fucks. But he failed
Speaker 1: a steroids test because he said his massage therapist had
Speaker 1: a steroid cream on their hand and when they were
Speaker 1: treating him, it accidentally rubbed into his system twice, two
Speaker 1: different times. Anyway, normally people get like a minimum of
Speaker 1: a year or two years, and he got nothing. And
Speaker 1: now they're like, Okay, we messed up on that. We're
Speaker 1: gonna give him three months. So he misses no major
Speaker 1: and he gets to play in his home tournament, his
Speaker 1: home country tournament. Oh shocking how that worked out. And
Speaker 1: by the way, I've said it before and I'll stick
Speaker 1: by it. I find it confusing that he's from Italy
Speaker 1: and has an Italian accent and has red hair. It
Speaker 1: just doesn't match up from brain Sinner needs to do steroids.
Speaker 1: I mean I watched him years ago. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not fun cheering for just rail thin ginger out there.
Speaker 1: Tennis has to have a little sex appeal on whether
Speaker 1: it's men or women, you know, Agustine. Agassine knew that
Speaker 1: when he was high on whatever drugs he was doing
Speaker 1: and trying to keep his two pay on during the
Speaker 1: French Open, people didn't even know he was bald. He
Speaker 1: had just a big fake wig on with the headband.
Speaker 1: It was like, eh, those are the days.
Speaker 2: My pig was also around eight pounds. Three years later,
Speaker 2: she's at one twenty, still lives inside Wonderful Pets.
Speaker 1: Oh look at that. I can't wait to have one
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty pounds pig in my bedroom. No, okay,
Speaker 1: don't even finish that joke.
Speaker 2: Oscar's episode they had a tent on the worm.
Speaker 1: I love that comment. All cats, they're the same rage
Speaker 1: that I had. There was a tent and the whole
Speaker 1: village just going for a ride on the worm that
Speaker 1: was so impossible to board prior to that scene. No,
Speaker 1: this is how we all go jump on Sir, sir, sir,
Speaker 1: we're only boarding group one. Oh I'm on my fault,
Speaker 1: my fault, I'm military. Well then you should know how
Speaker 1: to jump on this by yourself.
Speaker 2: Lol. There's a hotline thing attached to this video because
Speaker 2: of Toash saying he's going to get himself.
Speaker 1: Okay, we can't. We got to bleep you, eddie because
Speaker 1: they put that on there because those words were said,
Speaker 1: and I wasn't even I wasn't making light of people
Speaker 1: that end life. I was just pointing out that I
Speaker 1: was giving all my stuff away constantly, and that's a
Speaker 1: telltale sign of potentially doing said deed. Anyway, get help.
Speaker 2: So you blew it, you gave it away, that you
Speaker 2: were born in seventy four, and then tell us you're
Speaker 2: in your late forties. Come on, man, own up to it.
Speaker 2: You're fifty.
Speaker 1: Oh, I know. This is referring to when I was
Speaker 1: talking about being a Dolphins fan from when they won
Speaker 1: the Super Bowls in seventy two and seventy three, and
Speaker 1: then I said that I was conceived in seventy four.
Speaker 1: That idiot doesn't understand what conceived means. This is why
Speaker 1: we have a problem in this country with abortion. People
Speaker 1: don't know when life begins. This person thinks since I
Speaker 1: was conceived in seventy four, that I had to be
Speaker 1: born that year. No, that's not how it works. I
Speaker 1: was born nine and a half months later. See, my
Speaker 1: father put his penis inside of my virgin mother's vagina
Speaker 1: and they nurtured, They nurtured me, and then nine and
Speaker 1: a half months later, I was born in Germany, in
Speaker 1: beaupart in nineteen seventy five, the twenty ninth day of May.
Speaker 1: And they it is good.
Speaker 2: It sounds like something straight out of a Bible.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: Why does he think we give a shit about his
Speaker 2: parenting stories and family life? I don't watch this for that.
Speaker 1: Well, it's like this and like that and like this,
Speaker 1: and uh it's like that and like this and like
Speaker 1: that and uh am I right, Oh, you're right.
Speaker 3: Ah.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you watched this for or listen
Speaker 1: to it for. But all I know is I appreciate it,
Speaker 1: like and subscribe.
Speaker 2: Ta's show is good, but could be great with a
Speaker 2: bigger frame.
Speaker 1: I agree, But it's not a frame. It's a border. Hey,
Speaker 1: it's a subtle border that makes you feel like you
Speaker 1: could hang your iPhone on the wall and watch me.
Speaker 1: It's like moving art. How long have we been I
Speaker 1: feel like we've read too many comments. This will be
Speaker 1: a perfect time for me to start wearing a watch.
Speaker 1: I need a watch.
Speaker 3: Guy.
Speaker 1: Enjoy Pasha. For all the money I've wasted in my life,
Speaker 1: I've never bought a luxury wrist watch, mostly because I'm
Speaker 1: successful enough that I never gave a shit what time
Speaker 1: it is. But maybe after my conversation with today's horologist,
Speaker 1: I'll finally see what all the fuss is about. Please
Speaker 1: welcome watch collector and dealer Extraordinary to the stars.
Speaker 3: Eric, Thank you, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for being here. By the way, just in
Speaker 1: case your cares, I'm dressed today like somebody that would
Speaker 1: sell fake watches. That's what I was going for. I see,
Speaker 1: I can already. My first question is normally do you
Speaker 1: believe in ghost? But I want to get right to
Speaker 1: that time piece that's on your wrist.
Speaker 3: I was fed misinformation that you were a connoisseur of
Speaker 3: Cassio G shocks, so I thought i'd bring a kind
Speaker 3: of special one to show you.
Speaker 1: Is that that's a Cassio G shock, but it has
Speaker 1: a price tag that I'm positive I'm gonna be blown
Speaker 1: away by.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was made for the thirty fifth anniversary. They
Speaker 3: made thirty five pieces, and it's the only G shock
Speaker 3: they ever made entirely out of eighteen karat gold. Uh huh.
Speaker 3: So it's like a brick on your wrist.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's amazing. Yeah, is that six figures low? Six
Speaker 1: figures over, one under two? Do you care about it?
Speaker 1: Do you are?
Speaker 3: Like? No?
Speaker 1: I want I want this.
Speaker 3: I've been looking for one of these for many years
Speaker 3: and this one just came up not that long ago,
Speaker 3: uh huh, and had to have it.
Speaker 1: So I don't wear watches, Okay, I own this Cassio.
Speaker 3: There you go, Okay, I mean you can kind of
Speaker 3: see that it looks kind of similar.
Speaker 1: It's going to say, look, no, it's it's a let
Speaker 1: me feel how heavy this is? Oh my goodness, that
Speaker 1: is so silly.
Speaker 3: I love the irony of this watch because it looks
Speaker 3: like any other one hundred and twenty dollars kind of
Speaker 3: a gold tone cassio.
Speaker 1: G shock, Well do you know this cassio is eight
Speaker 1: dollars yep? On Amazon? Now I don't we all know
Speaker 1: Amazon is the devil? Fine, but this watch. I ordered
Speaker 1: this watch in the morning and it was at my
Speaker 1: house that.
Speaker 3: Afternoon Amazon Prime same day.
Speaker 1: It's almost as if they just have a bunch of
Speaker 1: these in their truck and I hear somebody want now.
Speaker 1: The only reason I wear this watch is because I
Speaker 1: had children, and when I go surfing, I need to
Speaker 1: know how long that nap is going to be, or
Speaker 1: if I have to pick somebody up or get something.
Speaker 1: So I was like, I need a watch to surf
Speaker 1: in for the first time in my life, and so
Speaker 1: I got this watch. Then I noticed on it it
Speaker 1: just says water resistant. What's that about? By the way,
Speaker 1: I've never had an issue with it, and it keeps
Speaker 1: perfect time. I don't change it to standard back into
Speaker 1: daylight saving said, you switch your watches back and forth.
Speaker 3: You know, I kind of just grab whatever is around,
Speaker 3: and usually I have to set the time before I.
Speaker 1: Wear it, so you always make sure that it's.
Speaker 3: Right most of the time, except sometimes there's really complicated
Speaker 3: watches to set that could take like ten to fifteen
Speaker 3: minutes to set. And I don't don't bother doing that.
Speaker 1: By the way, since I as a child, I used
Speaker 1: to have a Shark Freestyle watch with the cloth band,
Speaker 1: and then in school, you'd remember this smell under your wrist.
Speaker 3: Is it an eighties thing? The bell crow band?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a double bellcrobo.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, like a leash?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Now that what happened to that brand? I don't
Speaker 1: even are you kidding me? Those things have to be
Speaker 1: worth a fortune. Now I'm sitting on like seven hundred
Speaker 1: sweaty bands.
Speaker 3: Might be worth tens of dollars.
Speaker 1: Do you believe in ghosts?
Speaker 3: I do?
Speaker 1: Nah, wasn't sure. I didn't know which way you were
Speaker 1: going to swing on that one.
Speaker 3: I'm a pretty rational person, but I do.
Speaker 1: Did you accidentally put on two watches or is that
Speaker 1: your daily routine?
Speaker 3: No, no, it's not my daily routine. I thought we
Speaker 3: would be talking about something, so I brought another interesting
Speaker 3: watch just to share with you.
Speaker 1: What's what's on that wrist over there?
Speaker 3: This is a cool watch. This is called the Shash
Speaker 3: and it's made by a Cardier uh huh. And it
Speaker 3: was the trophy for this thing called the Cardier Challenge,
Speaker 3: and it was for the winner. There's a famous car
Speaker 3: race called the Paris Dakar Rally where they drive like
Speaker 3: cars and motorcycles from Paris tod Car, okay, And you
Speaker 3: had to win it twice to win this watch, and
Speaker 3: only one person ever won it twice, so they had
Speaker 3: only given away one of these watches a surprise, and
Speaker 3: so it's like a unique piece and it was given
Speaker 3: I think in nineteen eighty six.
Speaker 1: And how did you get it.
Speaker 3: It was a watch auction purchase.
Speaker 1: Oh man, how did you get so into watches? Obviously
Speaker 1: you cared about them your whole life, but where was
Speaker 1: that transition?
Speaker 3: When I was a kid, one of the first kind
Speaker 3: of educational gifts that my parents got me was a
Speaker 3: subscription to National Geographic magazine, and Rolex always had a
Speaker 3: prominent advertisement in the magazine. It was either like the
Speaker 3: back cover or the front intercover. And Rolex would always
Speaker 3: make these ad campaigns talking about achievements in like human ingenuity,
Speaker 3: and you know, Rolex was tied to the summoning of
Speaker 3: Mount Everett by Tensing and Hillary in like nineteen fifty three,
Speaker 3: and then all these like feats that they sponsored, like
Speaker 3: Lewis Leaky who studied you know, the Great Apes, and
Speaker 3: you know, like the Origin of Man. And so their
Speaker 3: advertising was always tying with these sort of like super scientists.
Speaker 3: And it just got ingrained into my mind that Rolex's
Speaker 3: were very high quality watchers.
Speaker 1: I mean they are. But mean you were really affected
Speaker 1: by advertising?
Speaker 3: Yes, I was.
Speaker 1: I got National Geographic as well as a child, and
Speaker 1: all I took from it was like boobs come in
Speaker 1: all shapes and sizes.
Speaker 3: Well, that too, you know, all right, pancake ones and whatever.
Speaker 1: Where'd you grow up?
Speaker 3: I grew up in Potomac, Maryland. It's a suburb of Washington, DC.
Speaker 1: You love Maryland? You know.
Speaker 3: I came out to California for college and never went back.
Speaker 1: That happens to a lot of people. By the where
Speaker 1: did you go to college?
Speaker 3: Berkeley?
Speaker 1: Ooh, ninety eight percent of the people we've had on
Speaker 1: the show have gone to Berkeley. I swear to you,
Speaker 1: really well, Yeah, it's almost like we're a satellite campus
Speaker 1: this podcast. I'm telling you, it's it's pretty intellectual cal Bears.
Speaker 1: I don't ask for a lot on this show, but
Speaker 1: I think Berkeley should at least get my kids in.
Speaker 1: They're not going to do well once they get there.
Speaker 3: They might give you an honorary degree, and I don't
Speaker 3: want to.
Speaker 1: Do I want I just want my kids to go there.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: I would take some pride in that. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you have children, one I do.
Speaker 3: I have one son just turned three.
Speaker 1: Are you putting tons of pressure on him?
Speaker 3: No? No, I was just freestyle.
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted to hear. Yeah, good for you,
Speaker 1: all right, talk about when you were in college the
Speaker 1: day trading.
Speaker 3: Freshman year, spring semester. I started day trading with this
Speaker 3: money that my dad had given me for a year's
Speaker 3: advance tuition, room and board and everything. And eBay had
Speaker 3: just IPO. This was I think nineteen ninety eight, okay,
Speaker 3: And I was able to take thirty thousand dollars and
Speaker 3: turn it into like four hundred something thousand.
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted to hear.
Speaker 3: Yeap, I thought I was a financial genius.
Speaker 1: Were you like, I'm gonna drop out of college?
Speaker 3: Not not that level? But started doing stupid shit Like
Speaker 3: I bought a watch, I ordered a brand new Porsche,
Speaker 3: and I didn't want to take one off of the lot.
Speaker 3: I wanted to like speck it exactly how I wanted it.
Speaker 1: When you say stupid, all I hear is just goddamn genius,
Speaker 1: Thank you. It's I mean, you're in college. It wasn't
Speaker 1: like you were sixty and had like a family of
Speaker 1: twenty to support. You were in college and you took
Speaker 1: thirty and ran it up to half a million dollars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Had a happy ending.
Speaker 3: No no, no, I mean long term, long term, yes,
Speaker 3: short term no. After thirty days, you can start playing
Speaker 3: options on stocks, and I was like, this stock, there's
Speaker 3: no way that it can be this high. And I
Speaker 3: just like put everything into like shorting the stock, and
Speaker 3: then I went from like four hundred and something thousand
Speaker 3: down to like twelve dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you still had that Porsche.
Speaker 3: No, I didn't because I didn't kick one off of
Speaker 3: the lot. I ordered it and then put a two
Speaker 3: thousand dollars deposit, and in California, deposits are always refundable.
Speaker 3: But I was so embarrassed. I didn't even get the
Speaker 3: two thousand dollars back.
Speaker 1: You didn't go collect that two thousand, No, I didn't.
Speaker 1: You're still owed that munchy I am.
Speaker 3: Probably it's an uncollected fund somewhere.
Speaker 1: But I put two thousand years and years ago on
Speaker 1: a sprinter van and my wife never let me get it.
Speaker 1: She's refused to let me get it, and I collected.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 1: You stayed in school, you finished I did what did
Speaker 1: you study?
Speaker 3: I studied interdisciplinary studies, which was a really flim flam
Speaker 3: major of you didn't know what you want to do
Speaker 3: and you could combine three majors into one.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, did you take any like quote unquote real
Speaker 1: job right out of college.
Speaker 3: Oh totally. I had worked in various companies, startups, and
Speaker 3: my last real job was at this computer recycling company.
Speaker 3: And I remember the moment that I became a watch
Speaker 3: dealer full time was because I had gotten like seven
Speaker 3: FedEx packages in my office and you know whatever, the
Speaker 3: managing director of the business was like all shitty. I
Speaker 3: was like doing all this stupid stuff there, and I
Speaker 3: just realized, like what the hell am I doing here?
Speaker 3: And I went and just quit that day. It just
Speaker 3: gave notice and left.
Speaker 1: So how along from college to that moment.
Speaker 3: I would say, like I worked for a good four
Speaker 3: or five years at various.
Speaker 1: Jobs, okay, and then quitting your job and saying full
Speaker 1: time this is my passion. How long from that moment
Speaker 1: to oh, I've made myself a good career here.
Speaker 3: I mean I think even like that first year, I
Speaker 3: was like doing quite well and so I was really happy.
Speaker 3: I mean, I can't imagine doing a job working for
Speaker 3: somebody else right now, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I sat in one interview before I was like,
Speaker 1: oh no, I can't have a job. This is this
Speaker 1: is bad. Well, just because I was like, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: hire me, and I'm an idiot. Was the first nice
Speaker 1: watch you bought went in college?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 3: It was a Rolex Air King, which is the cheapest
Speaker 3: watch they made at the time.
Speaker 1: What's the cheapest role like cost now?
Speaker 3: Now it's probably like seven thousand books.
Speaker 1: Wait, funny story about your your original Rolex Yes, is
Speaker 1: that you bought it back? Yes, you had a Hawket.
Speaker 3: Yes, Or during my financial crisis of nineteen ninety eight and.
Speaker 1: You got a similar one, or you tracked down the
Speaker 1: exact No.
Speaker 3: I so I sold it on eBay. Funnily enough, Oh.
Speaker 1: The company you were shorting? Yeah, look at.
Speaker 3: You in nineteen ninety eight, and several years later I
Speaker 3: fired up like an old computer with all the old
Speaker 3: emails because they weren't in the cloud at the time.
Speaker 3: I found the person that I sold it to, and
Speaker 3: I emailed them and explained that I'd become a watch
Speaker 3: dealer and I was really interested in buying the watch
Speaker 3: back because it had a lot of sentimental meaning to me.
Speaker 1: And then the guy wrotely, just gouged this shit.
Speaker 3: Well, he gouged the shit out of me. But the
Speaker 3: first email I got back was like, well, it has
Speaker 3: a lot of meaning to me too.
Speaker 1: Brother.
Speaker 3: The guy was a lawyer. Unfortunately, huh, and I paid
Speaker 3: a world record price for this to buy that watch back.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, it'll get him, eventually, something will
Speaker 1: get him, or he's probably still just making a killing.
Speaker 3: He's still a lawyer.
Speaker 1: I think, what's the most expensive watch you've ever sold?
Speaker 3: Privately? I sold a watch that was fifteen and a
Speaker 3: half million dollars.
Speaker 1: I wanted to hear that fifteen and a half million dollars.
Speaker 3: And on on our auction website we sold to one
Speaker 3: Cardier for like one point six y five million, which
Speaker 3: is a world record for that watch.
Speaker 1: By the way, you own is it your company or
Speaker 1: you co founded I watch auction site? What's it called?
Speaker 3: I co founded with my partner justin a watch auction
Speaker 3: site called loop this. We're located in West Hollywood and
Speaker 3: we do watch auctions every day.
Speaker 1: Do you control the reserves that people put.
Speaker 3: On their marketing? We sell as no reserve, no reserve yep.
Speaker 1: Oh man, Now I got to be on that site.
Speaker 3: All real auction shouldn't have a reserve anything, and it
Speaker 3: shouldn't end with like a clock.
Speaker 1: How do you guys snuff out bad behavior? Then? In
Speaker 1: terms of you know, people putting false bids in.
Speaker 3: I mean, we do things like do credit card holds
Speaker 3: and all this stuff, and there's sophisticated algorithms to look
Speaker 3: for this.
Speaker 1: How many times do you have you do people buy
Speaker 1: watches and then they renig on the whole thing.
Speaker 3: We've been quite lucky. We've auctioned about three thousand waunches
Speaker 3: so far. Huh, and our canceled transaction rate is I mean,
Speaker 3: I would say maybe ten to fifteen out of three thousand.
Speaker 3: It's very very minimal.
Speaker 1: Are you allowed to bid on your own site? You know,
Speaker 1: there's been times accusatory as possible.
Speaker 3: There's been times where we really wanted to buy something
Speaker 3: for ourselves, but you know, we just let it go.
Speaker 1: My question is like, have you seen something on your
Speaker 1: site like, oh, that person got to steal that is
Speaker 1: undervalued for what that watch is worth.
Speaker 3: There's been times that things sell less than we anticipate.
Speaker 1: That'd be hard not to pull the trigger on it.
Speaker 3: But there's also things that sell for like a lot more.
Speaker 1: Know that always happens. That's what That's what auctions are
Speaker 1: supposed to be. You're supposed to be overpaying. You co
Speaker 1: founded a watch repair company and how much service do
Speaker 1: watches actually need Besides occasionally change in a battery.
Speaker 3: Digital watches like a Cassio G shock, the movements are
Speaker 3: quite cheap inside. Aside from changing a battery there's something wrong,
Speaker 3: they usually just toss the movement and put a new
Speaker 3: module in like a few bucks.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: Mechanical watches require quite a bit of service every few years,
Speaker 3: and it's very complicated, and there's not that many people
Speaker 3: that can do it, and it's kind of becoming like
Speaker 3: a lost lost art.
Speaker 1: You know, do you actually do it or no?
Speaker 3: I myself do not?
Speaker 1: Have you ever tinkered? Can you get in there and
Speaker 1: do anything?
Speaker 3: I know that every time I try to play watch maker,
Speaker 3: I fuck something up.
Speaker 1: Do million dollar watches have batteries?
Speaker 3: Typically not? Okay, a million dollar watch that has a
Speaker 3: battery inside, it's million dollars, probably because it's made out
Speaker 3: of like precious metal and diamonds and things like that.
Speaker 1: Or it was on someone famous when they were killed.
Speaker 3: Potentially, uh huh, although most of the watches that come
Speaker 3: up for auction belonging to famous dead people are usually mechanical.
Speaker 1: All right, but let me embarrass myself and start. You
Speaker 1: can correct my pronunciation of these brands. What is Autemar's Uh?
Speaker 1: Is it Pigott Poojia, Odemar piguet, Odemar pigue Yes, oh,
Speaker 1: okay uh? Petique Philippi, Philippe, Paddock Philippe, Paddock Philippe. I
Speaker 1: actually have heard of Paddock Philippe, Richard mile Mille, Richard
Speaker 1: Meil Meal. Yeah, that one's easy. What is longness long?
Speaker 3: Long jeans, long jeans?
Speaker 1: Yes, I haven't gotten one right yet. What is it Hubolt, Hue, blow, Hue, bloat?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Which one of those is the best watch?
Speaker 3: I think many people would say that Paddock Philippe is
Speaker 3: the best.
Speaker 1: What's an entry level Paddock Philippe sets.
Speaker 3: You back nowadays? I would say thirty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Why are new watches now sometimes cheaper than after it's
Speaker 1: been you know, around for a few years.
Speaker 3: I think because there's a very robust like collectors market,
Speaker 3: and things that are discontinued, you know, become collectible. So
Speaker 3: there's some old models, vintage pieces that have become highly
Speaker 3: coveted over the years.
Speaker 1: What time piece would you suggest to someone who's just
Speaker 1: starting to be interested in nicer watches?
Speaker 3: I mean, the great thing about watch collecting is there's
Speaker 3: always something interesting in like every different price point. There
Speaker 3: are a lot of interesting watches that are right around
Speaker 3: one thousand dollars ranging up to like several million dollars.
Speaker 3: I think for I'm going to just make a bunch
Speaker 3: of assumptions here, but assuming a budget is you know,
Speaker 3: like a thousand or two thousand dollars, there's a lot of.
Speaker 1: No, no, my budgets can be bigger than this. If
Speaker 1: I'm jumping to the game ten thousand, yeah, now I'm
Speaker 1: wearing something.
Speaker 3: Yeah at ten thousand dollars, there's definitely like a lot
Speaker 3: of choices. I think the watch is that preserve value
Speaker 3: the most, and are the market is the biggest. Four
Speaker 3: would be some sort of a rolex, like a Rolex,
Speaker 3: dive Watch or sub.
Speaker 1: Mariner, Oyster Jubilee or President.
Speaker 3: I like oyster bracelets. That's a very sophisticated question.
Speaker 1: Why the way, Well, I want I want people to
Speaker 1: know the wristbands on the Rolex. Are those the only
Speaker 1: three options?
Speaker 3: Or now they do this thing called oyster flex now,
Speaker 3: which is like a rubber bracelet, which is kind of cool.
Speaker 1: Actually, fuck Mary Kill Fossil TIMEX.
Speaker 3: Swatch This is a very tough one.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to go from sophisticated.
Speaker 3: Okay, kill, I'd kill fossil oh Man and toss up
Speaker 3: on the other two.
Speaker 1: How good are the fake rolexes that people sell like
Speaker 1: on the streets in New York?
Speaker 3: I would say there are some very good fakes. I'm
Speaker 3: in all these groups online, like other watch dealers and whatnot,
Speaker 3: And a lot of the people that are in these
Speaker 3: groups could be like owners of like pawnshops or small
Speaker 3: jewelry stores. There are like organized group like gangs of
Speaker 3: people that take these very convincing fake watches and just
Speaker 3: try to like pawn them or sell them. And so
Speaker 3: there's all these like alerts that I see in the group.
Speaker 3: Some of them have gotten quite good.
Speaker 1: What's the best what's the best con someone's pulled money wise?
Speaker 3: I mean it's always with some sort of a rolex
Speaker 3: because they're so liquid or like cash right, so great.
Speaker 3: So a watch that's worth maybe twelve to fifteen thousand dollars,
Speaker 3: somebody could go into a pawn shop and want three thousand,
Speaker 3: and then the greed gets the hold of whomever, and
Speaker 3: then they kind of don't check carefully and they get
Speaker 3: ripped off.
Speaker 1: You know, if I owned a really nice fake watch
Speaker 1: with no intention of ever trying to con anyone other
Speaker 1: than just wearing it for my own personal enjoyment or
Speaker 1: to flex, is that still do you still like? I
Speaker 1: don't know that that hurts our business.
Speaker 3: I don't think it hurts our business, but I think
Speaker 3: it might reflect poorly on the person that's wearing a
Speaker 3: fake watch and flexing.
Speaker 1: Well, what if you don't know, I mean, if no
Speaker 1: one knows, I'm not letting anybody examine it. But occasionally
Speaker 1: you just see me walking around and it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: look at that.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's like a really funny thing. There's this
Speaker 3: very coveted Paddock Philippe watch called the Nautilus, and they
Speaker 3: made a special one with Tiffany the jeweler, and they
Speaker 3: made one hundred and seventy pieces these things. It's like
Speaker 3: silly because if you can buy it, it's thirty five thousand,
Speaker 3: forty thousand dollars. The market price was as high as
Speaker 3: five million for this watch, and highly qualified buyers, celebrities
Speaker 3: were wearing them. But you'd go to Europe and be
Speaker 3: in Paris, it's like all the taxi drivers are wearing
Speaker 3: like fakes of that watch. This is that kind of
Speaker 3: a funny thing. You know. There's actually you could probably
Speaker 3: find this photo online of after the Taliban liberated Afghanistan
Speaker 3: they were wearing these like Tiffany nautiluses. So you know,
Speaker 3: it's like a weird thing. I mean, I'm not going
Speaker 3: to pass judgement on anybody that chooses to do that, but.
Speaker 1: Wow, do you know any celebrities that do that, because
Speaker 1: you know, they're our celebrities admit that they wear fake
Speaker 1: diamonds because they you know, just.
Speaker 3: I think fake diamonds like there's no like intellectual property
Speaker 3: behind that. But like watches, Like I mean in movies
Speaker 3: they use fake watches a lot prop watches. But I
Speaker 3: don't know any celebrities that would be like, I'm wearing
Speaker 3: a fake Rolex on the red carpet today.
Speaker 1: You wait, I'm gonna wear a fake Shark. Have you
Speaker 1: personally ever been conned or caught someone trying to sell
Speaker 1: a counterfeit watch to you?
Speaker 3: You know, people offer counterfeits all the time in the
Speaker 3: watch world. There's degrees of like fake. It's not like
Speaker 3: a made in China like fake Rolex. The value in
Speaker 3: watches a lot of times is based on certain components,
Speaker 3: like the dial is in some collectible Rolexes, the dials
Speaker 3: maybe ninety percent of the value. So a lot of
Speaker 3: people try to manipulate the dial, and it's more like
Speaker 3: a bespoke level of fakery as opposed to like a
Speaker 3: factory made fake huh. And this is very prevalent, and
Speaker 3: watches a regular Daytona, let's say, is worth like forty
Speaker 3: thousand dollars, Paul Newman Daytona can be worth three four
Speaker 3: hundred thousand. So if somebody can manipulate a dial to
Speaker 3: make it look a certain way, they have like a
Speaker 3: ten x appreciation potentially Paul Newman, you think he's dressing
Speaker 3: not really?
Speaker 1: Does Hollywood come call in for like either freebies for
Speaker 1: people walking the red carpet or for a project where
Speaker 1: they want somebody to wear a watch? And do you
Speaker 1: care about that or do you say that's not my business?
Speaker 3: I mean it's fun sometimes and when it works, it's
Speaker 3: like cool, Okay. I would say the most prominent one
Speaker 3: that I was involved in was I sourced this very
Speaker 3: expensive Rolex Daytona for that movie Crazy Rich Asians.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: It was actually quite prominently featured in the movie, and
Speaker 3: both the director and the writer of that book were
Speaker 3: really into like the little details and wanted to do
Speaker 3: it right, and so they wanted like a specific vintage
Speaker 3: Rolex for that scene, which I was able to provide
Speaker 3: for them. And it was just like a nerd thing,
Speaker 3: you know. Nobody got any credit for it or anything,
Speaker 3: but it was interesting seeing it in the movie. And
Speaker 3: funnily enough, Rolex is a sponsorer of the Oscars now
Speaker 3: and they put together a like thirty second or one
Speaker 3: minute long commercial of all these montages of movies showing Rolexes,
Speaker 3: and that was fairly prominently featured in the commercials. So
Speaker 3: I thought it was kind of fun.
Speaker 1: And made it to the Oscars. I did I love
Speaker 1: crazy rich Asians. I just liked it because it was
Speaker 1: like a world. I was like, Oh, I knew that
Speaker 1: wealth existed, but it's fun to watch it.
Speaker 3: It was a fun movie for sure.
Speaker 1: Uh huh. Do you hate the celebrities that are in
Speaker 1: the collecting game? Do they negatively affect what you do
Speaker 1: or do? Is it all positive?
Speaker 3: I mean I think it's generally positive.
Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg, are you glad that he's like flaunting the
Speaker 1: wealth on the wrist or no.
Speaker 3: I mean it's certainly bringing a lot of attention to watches,
Speaker 3: but it's just kind of interesting when you're like Thanos
Speaker 3: and have unlimited money, you can just buy whatever. Uh huh.
Speaker 3: But you know, he's very quickly over the last three
Speaker 3: months become you know, a big collecting celebrity.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I hated him when he started wakesurfing. I
Speaker 1: might get the fuck off the lake. There's a John
Speaker 1: Mayor Limit Edition ap Royal Oak Jumbo Ultra Thin Rose
Speaker 1: gold watch. It sells for one hundred and eight thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Does it also play James Blunt covers?
Speaker 3: That's a good event.
Speaker 1: That makes me laugh. Uh, James Blunt, what a dig
Speaker 1: on John Mayor? Hey, John, is he a legitimate watch collector?
Speaker 3: He's a legitimate watch collector. When I started in my
Speaker 3: I started a website years ago called ten Past ten.
Speaker 3: It was like in two thousand and five or six.
Speaker 3: He was literally the first watch I sold was John
Speaker 3: Mayer off of my website.
Speaker 1: He bought it or he get you on his he bought.
Speaker 3: It from me.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's really a very educated and like very into watches,
Speaker 3: Like he knows his stuff.
Speaker 1: What's the guy girl ratio in this world of collecting
Speaker 1: high end watch is it's it seems like it's male dominated.
Speaker 3: It's skewed quite heavily to the men. But I would say,
Speaker 3: you know, in the last five ten years, there's been
Speaker 3: a lot more female collectors.
Speaker 1: And what about the watches themselves? Is it? Do women
Speaker 1: still if they're a collector, do they still want the
Speaker 1: man's watch.
Speaker 3: We went through this era in like the early aughts
Speaker 3: where people were wearing these huge watches that look like tunicans,
Speaker 3: you know, and the men were doing it, women were
Speaker 3: doing it. And now the look is more restrained and
Speaker 3: refined and elegant. And I just like running joke because
Speaker 3: I collect like dress watches a lot, which tend to
Speaker 3: be smaller, right, especially Cardier for example, And we always
Speaker 3: like have a joke it's like is this a men's
Speaker 3: or women's watch? And it's like, oh, this is like
Speaker 3: an Eric men's watch, which could be like a women's
Speaker 3: watch or something. But you know, it's just tastes change.
Speaker 1: Over the ars men's watch. That's nice. Yeah, My father
Speaker 1: in law used to wear a Rolex and it was
Speaker 1: I forgot what the name of it. Was, but it
Speaker 1: seemed dainty, and I kept saying, you should graduate to
Speaker 1: a man's watch. Yeah, And then I feel like I
Speaker 1: shamed him to a point where he eventually sold it.
Speaker 1: He just sold it, and then he wears his late
Speaker 1: father's Rolex, which I will point out is a man's
Speaker 1: watch and much much bigger watch.
Speaker 3: I mean in the nineteen forties when Rolex really started
Speaker 3: like ramping up there. The watch that they made at
Speaker 3: that time we call like a bubble back because the
Speaker 3: movement's really thick, so it looks like a bubble on
Speaker 3: the back. They're really small. The average diameter of a
Speaker 3: men's watch now, i'd say is about thirty six to
Speaker 3: thirty eight millimeters. Those are like, you know, like twenty
Speaker 3: eight thirty really small, and that was like a men's
Speaker 3: watch everything. I mean, if you look at photos of
Speaker 3: like Chuck Yeager, the famous pilot, like he wore this
Speaker 3: little like speed King when he broke the speed record
Speaker 3: or whatever, and the things like this big.
Speaker 1: Best James Bond watch, Daniel Craig's Omega Seamaster three thousand,
Speaker 1: or Roger Moore's Sako G seven five seven in Octopussy.
Speaker 1: Please lock in your answer We're.
Speaker 3: Getting into a really nerdy territory here. Can I do
Speaker 3: an other?
Speaker 1: Yes? Is it a Rolex?
Speaker 3: The other would be the Rolex. It was a sub
Speaker 3: mariner that Roger Moore wore. Forget which James Bond, but
Speaker 3: it had like teeth that could cut like a rope
Speaker 3: when he was tied up. And you know, when Ian
Speaker 3: Fleming wrote James Bond, it's specifically mentioned Rolex. It changed
Speaker 3: over the years because of you know, licensing and people
Speaker 3: wanted to promote things like the Omega tie in was
Speaker 3: obviously like a licensing deal.
Speaker 1: Did that upset you the Omega tie in?
Speaker 3: I think it upsetted a lot of people that were
Speaker 3: about authenticity.
Speaker 1: Is that a good watch?
Speaker 3: By the way, they're good watches?
Speaker 1: Okay, how many watches do you personally own.
Speaker 3: My personal collection? I mean I would say maybe like
Speaker 3: one hundred pieces.
Speaker 1: You have a safe.
Speaker 3: There are many safes. That's my that's a.
Speaker 1: Nerd problem it and it could be PTSD from the wildfires.
Speaker 1: But like my wife during these last evacuations, we took
Speaker 1: off up to Santa Barbara and I came back every
Speaker 1: day and checking the house and she's like, you know,
Speaker 1: move some stuff down to the guesthouse because that's like
Speaker 1: a little bunker that we don't want to lose. And
Speaker 1: I'm walking around the house going I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know what is worth keeping in here. I just
Speaker 1: couldn't figure it out. So I love that I don't
Speaker 1: have a watch to care about, Like would you panic
Speaker 1: in an evacuation, like I need to get all my watches.
Speaker 3: I mean, for best practices, I don't really keep any
Speaker 3: watches at the house. Saying that for the listeners, everything's no,
Speaker 3: I mean everything's in my offices or like in a
Speaker 3: bank deposit. Uh huh.
Speaker 1: I think that there's a long way to go when
Speaker 1: you're getting dressed in the morning to go grab your watch.
Speaker 1: I gotta go swing by the bank to get my
Speaker 1: swanky cassio that costs six figures.
Speaker 3: But when I go to the office, I can just pull,
Speaker 3: you know, something out of the safe there.
Speaker 1: Do you get stressed out when you know you have
Speaker 1: something so valuable on your wrist?
Speaker 3: Sometimes? Yes?
Speaker 1: Are you scared of magicians.
Speaker 3: Sleight of hand things? I never travel to Europe with
Speaker 3: a nice watch on my wrist because there's many street
Speaker 3: magicians there, or those guys in Europe What they do
Speaker 3: is they have like a little blade here and they
Speaker 3: just cut the scrap.
Speaker 1: They do.
Speaker 3: They're always riding on scooters. Never wear a nice watch
Speaker 3: when you're traveling around.
Speaker 1: Europe, say, never write a scooter. I'm like, well that dude,
Speaker 1: Why are some watch water resistant ratings so high? Are
Speaker 1: people actually diving a thousand meters?
Speaker 3: These are like purpose made things. They have one model
Speaker 3: of Rolex called the deep Sea And James Cameron, the director.
Speaker 1: What else would you be talking about when you said
Speaker 1: James Cameron.
Speaker 3: I mean there's James Cameron, the guy that works at
Speaker 3: the gas station.
Speaker 1: You know, no one wants to hear about his watch.
Speaker 3: Yes, Jimmy Cameron, all right, James Jimmy Cameron.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, Well he's big into everything on.
Speaker 3: Like deep sea exploration, Titanic.
Speaker 1: What's he wearing?
Speaker 3: So he has this one called the deep Sea Challenge.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: The thing is like this big, it's all almost the
Speaker 3: size of this cup, and it can go down to
Speaker 3: like the depth of the Marianna's Trench, which is like
Speaker 3: the deepest point in the world, which I don't really
Speaker 3: know if there's people that can prove or disprove that
Speaker 3: is actually down there, but.
Speaker 1: Right dise he to stick his hand out of the
Speaker 1: little submersible and say, look, it's still working.
Speaker 3: Kind of yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you know what the most valuable watch in the
Speaker 1: world is.
Speaker 3: It's this pocket watch called the Grave Super Complication. In
Speaker 3: the early nineteen hundreds, there were these two guys, Henry
Speaker 3: Graves and Robert Packard Packard I don't remember the first name,
Speaker 3: and they were both like wealthy industrialists that were constantly
Speaker 3: trying to one up each other and commissioning overly complicated watches.
Speaker 3: So the most complicated one was the Henry Graves Super Complication.
Speaker 3: And the thing is literally like this and like this thick,
Speaker 3: and it's just I think I don't even know how
Speaker 3: many but it's got like thirty five twenty seven something
Speaker 3: a lot of complications. You know, it can calculate where
Speaker 3: the stars are at nighttimee. It can calculate the sunrise
Speaker 3: sunset time.
Speaker 1: You know it can How do you prove that. I'd
Speaker 1: just be like, yeah, that's it's calculating where the stars are.
Speaker 3: I'm convinced that it never actually worked. But you know,
Speaker 3: but that's like that's sold at auction several years ago
Speaker 3: for twenty something million and it's a mystery who bought it.
Speaker 3: And if that ever came up again, I mean that
Speaker 3: could be a candidate to be like fifty or one
Speaker 3: hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1: And would you throw your hat into the ring.
Speaker 3: I'd be the guy placing one bid for like one
Speaker 3: hundred thousand, and then when they ask would you like
Speaker 3: another bid? Ser I'm like, oh no, I'm good.
Speaker 1: Where are you on pocket watches?
Speaker 3: You know, if I had a monocle, I would probably
Speaker 3: carry a pocket watch.
Speaker 1: But that's too many things hanging in Yeah, talk about
Speaker 1: how stupid smart watches are. People texting on their ritz?
Speaker 1: What the fuck?
Speaker 3: You know? I love the Apple Watch for its like usefulness,
Speaker 3: but I never do like the texting or anything on it.
Speaker 3: You know, it's just to show data like more one way.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, So you do you own an Apple Watch?
Speaker 3: I do you work quite often?
Speaker 1: You have a fancy band for it? Or no?
Speaker 3: No, no, I just wear it on. I like the
Speaker 3: rubber Loop.
Speaker 1: Everybody that's on the show gets a gift. It's not
Speaker 1: exciting though. Usually it's just stuff from my house that
Speaker 1: I get read. The first thing I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: is I've never owned a watch. Okay, but that's not
Speaker 1: completely true. One time I was performing in Ireland. I
Speaker 1: was at this kill Kennedy comedy festival. I was with
Speaker 1: Dom Morrera, this comedy icon, and he was yelling at me.
Speaker 1: He goes, why don't you have a watch? He's like,
Speaker 1: it's the only tool we need as comedians. We just
Speaker 1: need to know how long we've been on stage. It's
Speaker 1: the one thing we need. And I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I just never had it. He's like, you
Speaker 1: buy a watch. And I literally went into one of
Speaker 1: those dumb what are those things called an international airports
Speaker 1: a duty free shop in London and I bought a
Speaker 1: watch and I was like, there, I bought a watch. Dom.
Speaker 1: He's like, good, it's Gucci. Oh I don't even know
Speaker 1: they made watches. Anyway. I wore it for a while
Speaker 1: on stage. But now I want you to have the
Speaker 1: only watch, oh my gosh, that I've ever really owned.
Speaker 3: This is a big responsibility here, Yeah, it is. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Oh you're welcome.
Speaker 3: You might see this on eBay one day.
Speaker 1: It's on eBay tonight. You put that on your auction site.
Speaker 1: You let me let me know how it does.
Speaker 3: It come with a meat and greed experience.
Speaker 1: Oh but I mean I can verify that it is
Speaker 1: my watch, that I bought it at the airport, at
Speaker 1: the duty free shop and Heathrow.
Speaker 3: I will wear this with honor.
Speaker 1: All right, get that off. My desk is going to
Speaker 1: say this is for for your your son. This is
Speaker 1: cactus water.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I don't.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's so stupid. My wife bought all this
Speaker 1: cactus water. It's half the sugar of coconut water. My
Speaker 1: kids fucking hate it. And I'm like, we'll get rid
Speaker 1: of it. So you're like, well, wants you to throw
Speaker 1: it away? No, I don't throw it away. During the evacuation,
Speaker 1: everybody was raising. They said no, you couldn't drink the
Speaker 1: water for a while. So I'm like, oh shit. Their
Speaker 1: only water in the house is fucking cactus water. And
Speaker 1: I was like, this is horrible.
Speaker 3: How does it taste? Not all?
Speaker 1: It's not my thing, you see, see if you're something
Speaker 1: like that, Okay, now bring that other thing over for me.
Speaker 1: This is this is my real gift for your kid.
Speaker 1: But it's it's oh my gosh, this is a real
Speaker 1: badle tric. But it's a three in one, meaning that like,
Speaker 1: right now, the pedals don't move, but you you click this,
Speaker 1: and then it becomes this steering doesn't work, but like
Speaker 1: it works with the hand if you do. But if
Speaker 1: you want the steering work, click it. Oh sorry, I
Speaker 1: forgot which way there it is. Now it's worked. Then
Speaker 1: this this comes off, this whole thing. You're gonna love this, kid.
Speaker 1: You take this off. Bam. Then the handles off. You know,
Speaker 1: it's just take this thing off. You get it? Hold on?
Speaker 1: Do this? Yeah, I get this off.
Speaker 3: Do I have to pay for the instruction manual?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: No, no, you go online, you'll find something. Okay, you take
Speaker 1: that off, then you take this off. This comes these
Speaker 1: legs come off. Then it's just a straight tricycle. But
Speaker 1: it's Bentley. It's Bentley really put it out, and I thought, wow,
Speaker 1: what kid, if he has a Rolex, he's gonna need this.
Speaker 3: I'm honored, Thank you very much. Did your kid grow
Speaker 3: out of this or he just didn't like it?
Speaker 1: Or yeah, no, you grew out of it. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: the oldest one and now the youngest one, she's not
Speaker 1: going to get an opportunity to ever enjoy it.
Speaker 3: I have some small gifts for you.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't want them, I know you.
Speaker 3: Please finish them by the afternoon.
Speaker 1: Oh that's that's my Oh an edible gift.

Speaker 1: of chocolates are there?

Speaker 3: to find other people just want you have to peel
Speaker 3: the stick around.
Speaker 1: Don't tell me how to do it. Okay, okay, how

Speaker 3: Eighteen years?
Speaker 1: Why did you wait so long to have a kid because.
Speaker 3: I was always stressed out that I was not ready
Speaker 3: to be a dad. Now it's difficult being that old dad.
Speaker 1: I think it's I'm so much older than you, and
Speaker 1: you say you're an old dad, so that makes me laugh.
Speaker 3: How old are your kids?
Speaker 1: Five and two?
Speaker 3: Okay, so six and two?

Speaker 1: about clocks a little bit? You got a grandfather clock
Speaker 1: at your house?
Speaker 3: No grandfather clock?
Speaker 1: Now, I grew up with a cuckoo clock, and I
Speaker 1: guess that's probably one of the few things that I
Speaker 1: have sentimental associate it with fond memories of childhood. So
Speaker 1: when I got older, I bought a good cuckoo clock
Speaker 1: from Germany, and I love that thing. That What I've learned, though,
Speaker 1: is that if you don't it's in a vacation cottage,
Speaker 1: and then when I go to visit it, I have
Speaker 1: to take it apart and.
Speaker 3: Wind it, oil it.
Speaker 1: I have to oil it a little bit every night.
Speaker 1: If it sits for too long, that's not good. But man,
Speaker 1: do I love that cuckoo clock. That might be the
Speaker 1: only thing I like. This is John's grandfather's World War
Speaker 1: two watch.
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 1: How often is your job just people bringing old World
Speaker 1: War two watches and saying, hey, is this worth anything?
Speaker 3: It happens wartime watches are quite collectible. This is an
Speaker 3: Elgin and I see it has the engravings on the

Speaker 3: by the heirloom.
Speaker 1: John, John, he's got two hundred bucks, he's got three kids.
Speaker 1: He doesn't need this thing. By lunch? Yeah, what do
Speaker 1: your parents think of your career choice is now that
Speaker 1: everything has worked out well for you, I.
Speaker 3: Mean, now the dust is settled and I'm in my forties.
Speaker 3: You know, everything kind of worked out and it was great.
Speaker 3: But you know, to tell my parents, hey, I went
Speaker 3: to school at Berkeley, I had legitimate jobs, and then
Speaker 3: I wanted to quit everything and become a watch dealer.
Speaker 3: That was this kind of a difficult discussion in the beginning.
Speaker 1: But now do they all own nice watches.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're all good. They all own nice watches, you know,
Speaker 3: and everybody's having a good time, all right.

Speaker 1: to thank Eric for being on the show and spending
Speaker 1: some time with us. Carl, you wear a watch. I
Speaker 1: know you have a fit band. He's supposed to be
Speaker 1: walking four miles a day. You walk four miles a day.
Speaker 1: Speaking of someone that doesn't walk enough. My father in law,
Speaker 1: as you may remember, he's getting both knees replaced, and
Speaker 1: he had the first one done and I said, hey,
Speaker 1: send me a video when they're taking the staples out,
Speaker 1: because they are pretty gruesome. Anyway, he sends me this
Speaker 1: video and I it's so cringey to listen to. Not
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, is it gross to watch staples being
Speaker 1: puld out? No, not at all. That part's fine. He
Speaker 1: doesn't realize that there's audio when it's recording, and I
Speaker 1: thought it was a bit at first. He's just talking
Speaker 1: to this woman about me. She's like an intern or
Speaker 1: not an intern, who like a college residents that's pulling
Speaker 1: the staples out. So she's probably nineteen or twenty and
Speaker 1: she has no clue who I am, which is a
Speaker 1: little insulting. I'm not gonna lie. I might have to
Speaker 1: book myself at a nursing school anyway. But he just
Speaker 1: keeps going on, like, do you know Comedy Central? He
Speaker 1: was on there for like thirteen years. He did a
Speaker 1: show is very popular, Just going on.
Speaker 4: Do you ever watch You're Too Young? Did you ever

Speaker 4: For eleven twelve years with a show called Tosh two
Speaker 4: point zero.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is on TV, yeah, a TV.
Speaker 4: Station, okay.
Speaker 1: And then it just he just keeps going like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: now he's a podcast.
Speaker 4: Now he has a thing called Tashow, which is his podcast.
Speaker 1: At some one point, she's trying to change the conversation
Speaker 1: and she's like, oh, those are those are nice shoes
Speaker 1: that you have, and he's like, oh, yeah, my daughter
Speaker 1: bought me those shoes. She's married to him. It just doesn't.
Speaker 3: End like your shoes you got them from the band store.
Speaker 2: Those are from my daughter that's married.
Speaker 1: To Daniel holy Cat. The guy not one mention of
Speaker 1: his other kids. He didn't care at all about them.
Speaker 1: There's no mention of his other daughter or his youngest
Speaker 1: son who's out in LA just trying to hustle. No
Speaker 1: mention of his oldest son or his wife. All of
Speaker 1: this nonsense. Back if it just keeps talking about me,
Speaker 1: it's so funny to me. Then I played for my wife.
Speaker 1: I played to Carl. She's just like has her head down,
Speaker 1: she can't listen to it. Then at one point he goes, oh, no,
Speaker 1: I think it's recording audio. Oh and He's like, oh, sorry, Daniel,
Speaker 1: if I'm saying anything, then I shouldn't say about you.
Speaker 3: Oh gosh.
Speaker 1: I got to make sure the videos. It's a video.
Speaker 1: I hope there's no sound.
Speaker 3: I won't send it to him.
Speaker 4: That's why Daniel hope that was offensive.
Speaker 1: He doesn't know that video.
Speaker 3: I didn't.
Speaker 1: There's no video recording. Silently, knucklehead. Anyways, his knee uh
Speaker 1: doing well, but he's nervous about doing the second one.
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, he went this far, just do it
Speaker 1: all right. Let's get to some plugs here, Tosh showstore
Speaker 1: dot com. Guys, get some merch. Come on, I told
Speaker 1: you if I out in the street wearing it, you're
Speaker 1: gonna get one of these. Eddie's tour check out his
Speaker 1: website and my tour. Remember that I canceled Lisbon so
Speaker 1: that I could be in Philly, the Lisbon of the
Speaker 1: East Coast of America, and then I'm going to Lisbon
Speaker 1: right after that show. Now it's not for the free plug. Okay,
Speaker 1: what do we got here? Let's see. Today's free plug
Speaker 1: goes out to all my crunchy moms out there because
Speaker 1: it is for childish child dish and it's a brand
Speaker 1: of safe plates. You get it, all right, child Dish, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good name, all right. You won't find plastics, BPA, melamine,
Speaker 1: or any other endocrine disruption toxins in their products. Easy
Speaker 1: for me to say. Childish makes functional dinnerware alternatives to
Speaker 1: keep your children healthy. They're dishwasher and microwaves safe, but
Speaker 1: are made of lead free suram with FDA approofed silicon
Speaker 1: is FDA still thing. I feel like the current administration
Speaker 1: might have chopped that out. They might have they might
Speaker 1: have got rid of ATA. By the way, I have
Speaker 1: these dishes in my house for the kids. It says
Speaker 1: it's designed for children three now, but I let my
Speaker 1: two year old use it. But she's gifted. The thing
Speaker 1: about it is they've got, like, you know, this real
Speaker 1: ceramic plate and they've got some cool graphics on it.
Speaker 1: But then they have this rubber silicone underneath it so
Speaker 1: it keeps it from not sliding. But here, wait for
Speaker 1: it that you take off when you're done eating, put
Speaker 1: it on top. It's a lid. Put the plate in
Speaker 1: the refrigerator boom. You're second feeding. You're not having to
Speaker 1: do a second set of dishes. It's its own little container.
Speaker 1: That's where they got me. I like that. Now, have
Speaker 1: I bought a set of it?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: No, she gave us two sets for free. But you
Speaker 1: know now she's getting a free plug. That's how it works.
Speaker 1: You grease my wheel.
Speaker 2: I scratched your back.
Speaker 1: By the way, this is founded by two moms. I
Speaker 1: know one of the moms. She's not she's a good
Speaker 1: good has a son plays with my son. Her son
Speaker 1: is just a super athlete the same age as my son.
Speaker 1: My son can't keep up at all, but he tries,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, don't worry, buddy. You just keep losing
Speaker 1: to him. Is gonna build character. He's like, I want
Speaker 1: to win once. I'm like, nah, winning's no good coming
Speaker 1: in second. That's where it's at. What they say, a
Speaker 1: healthy meal starts with a healthy plate. Stop feeding your
Speaker 1: kids plastic use childish instead. There's a nice plug. Now
Speaker 1: the next playdate, I'll have something to talk about. See
Speaker 1: you next week.
