A year ago Joe gifted me his favorite watch during a podcast. It was one of the most meaningful moments of my life. I wanted to post this clip now as a thank you to a friend. I will never forget it.

It's a real high resolution photograph of the moon and as the moon rises it will rise.

It's set in the position where the moon is currently.

Take that piece of shit stupid fucking frisbee you got on your wrist you can't you can't get this back because you're a steampunk watch the fucking robot thing and erases it every minute that's so dumb But that watch that watch is my favorite watch and I want you to have it.

My pleasure Yeah, that's wrist, yeah, I Do well we can get it sized for you.

But fuck man, they see the little moon Thank you.

You get a real sense of what it looks like.

And 1 of the reasons why I like Omegas, first of all, the astronauts that went to the moon, allegedly.

But also, it doesn't have the same sort of cachet value as Rolexes, or a lot of like the people that have a peripheral understanding of watches.

But that is my favorite watch, and you have my favorite watch now.

Actually, this is the 1 thing I think a watch could add, is perspective on the cosmic scale.

That's why I like that watch and that's why I think you should have it because I would look that watch and I would say this is where we are right now with the moon cycle.

And when it comes full moon like right now it's just kind of like a little it's probably a quarter moon or something like.

Yeah well when it comes full moon You'll get a real sense of what it actually looks like because it's beautiful It's a beautiful high-resolution image of the moon with like little stars behind it Yeah, but that's ridiculous ridiculous, I don't like those watches I mean look you could like whatever you like Yeah, that that's a million dollars his watch.

I've never had a diamond in my life, and I want a fucking diamond.

And what I like about that watch is the engineering behind it, is that it's a mechanical watch, meaning the time is kept within a second or 2, I don't know what it is, like a day?

There's this crazy complication that shows the moon rising across...

I know when I can go outside and see the stars, because I look at my watch.

And when my watch shows me no moon, that's when I go outside on my deck.

Because when I go outside on my deck, I know I'm just going to see nothing but stars and no moon at all.

No light pollution, just beautiful stars in the sky.

Take care of it my brother, take care of it.


Speaker 0: Take this. That's yours now. That's an Omega. And that has a moon phase. See that moon in

Speaker 1: the bottom of it?

Speaker 0: That's yours. That's yours. You see

Speaker 1: the moon on the bottom of it? You see that? This is a happy man right now. That's my watch. That's my favorite watch, by the way.

Do you see the moon in the bottom of it? Yep. That is the actual moon phase. It's a real high resolution photograph of the moon and as the moon rises it will rise. It's set in the position where the moon is currently.

Oh that's awesome. Fuck yeah it's awesome. Take that piece of shit stupid fucking frisbee you got on your wrist you can't you can't get this back because you're a steampunk watch the fucking robot thing and erases it every minute that's so dumb But that watch that watch is my favorite watch and I want you to have it. Yeah. Thank you.

My pleasure Yeah, that's wrist, yeah, I Do well we can get it sized for you. No, no, this is perfect. But fuck man, they see the little moon Thank you. So you see it at the bottom. Yeah, it comes full moon.

You get a real sense of what it looks like. It's beautiful. It's a beautiful, high-resolution image. And 1 of the reasons why I like Omegas, first of all, the astronauts that went to the moon, allegedly. They wore Omegas.

But also, it doesn't have the same sort of cachet value as Rolexes, or a lot of like the people that have a peripheral understanding of watches. But they're fucking phenomenal watches. They make amazing watches. I have a bunch of Omegas, I love them. But that is my favorite watch, and you have my favorite watch now.

Joe. Thank you. Actually, this is the 1 thing I think a watch could add, is perspective on the cosmic scale. That's why I like that watch and that's why I think you should have it because I would look that watch and I would say this is where we are right now with the moon cycle. Yeah.

And when it comes full moon like right now it's just kind of like a little it's probably a quarter moon or something like. Yeah. Yeah well when it comes full moon You'll get a real sense of what it actually looks like because it's beautiful It's a beautiful high-resolution image of the moon with like little stars behind it Yeah, but that's ridiculous ridiculous, I don't like those watches I mean look you could like whatever you like Yeah, that that's a million dollars his watch. That's preposterous. It's all filled with diamonds and shit.

I don't own a single diamond. I've never had a diamond in my life, and I want a fucking diamond. I like engineering. That's what I like. I'm a fan of engineering.

And what I like about that watch is the engineering behind it, is that it's a mechanical watch, meaning the time is kept within a second or 2, I don't know what it is, like a day? Or I forget what it is. But also with a complication. There's this crazy complication that shows the moon rising across... And when it goes dark in the sky...

I know when I can go outside and see the stars, because I look at my watch. And when my watch shows me no moon, that's when I go outside on my deck. Because when I go outside on my deck, I know I'm just going to see nothing but stars and no moon at all. No light pollution, just beautiful stars in the sky. I'm gonna take care of this 1.

Take care of it my brother, take care of it.
