E83: An Evening With Christopher Ward

The guys are back after a few months away, and they're wasting no time wasting time— breaking the crowd with a rapid-fire round of "which have you done more recently," where the options are just obscure enough to make you question your own life choices. From there, the watch collection updates are in: new additions and the usual second-guessing. The middle of the show gets nostalgic as the crew digs into summer camp memories as a camper, as well as the perspective these days - as a parent sending kids off to camp. They wrap up at the airport, where everyone has a story. Strap in, sync your watches, and welcome back to Times Like These. 

In this episode, the fellas begin with a discussion on some common cliches, and common ways they are botched. They then turn their attention to a new watch addition over the summer, the iconic Rolex Datejust. They discuss the history of this piece and what makes it so great. Lastly, Wes shares some good old-fashioned marriage advice that may just be a little too old-fashioned. 

In this episode, the fellas return to the podcast studio following a break. They discuss things that have happened over the last few months including some interesting changes to their watch collections. They enjoy a robust conversation around cell phones in schools and the way these devices have become so powerful in our lives. Perhaps we would be better off with a wristwatch to simply tell us the time? They finish with a discussion/confession about movies that have been missed but should have been watched by now.

With our spring schedules busy with travel and family activities, we are taking a little break.  Stay tuned for more episodes in the future.

They finish by celebrating MLB Opening Day with a chat about what makes baseball special. And with some great audio from James Earl Jones, and writing from George Will, they hope you enjoy it too!

In this episode, the fellas break the crowd with a percentage quiz testing how well they know the habits of their fellow Americans.
