But first, your dynamic PNW podcasting duo are out on location at the constantly expanding Waypoint Park to record this episode. Two out of three seagulls agree, this is a fun episode.

Listener Feedback- #Watchfam and a good ol' fashion on the mic wrist check

Shout out to Tom, faithful listener of the podcast. Made Chris aware of LIV watches (https://www.livwatches.com/), “...Although a little spendy, the designs are really cool.” Tom said.“ I relate to Orange and appreciate the classy portrayal of the color.” Chris is a fan of LIV GX1-A Stealth Gray with a waxed leather bracelet. “*Swiss Made, Swiss Sellita Caliber SW200-1*, 3-hand automatic with date.
*Dual High Grade Sapphire Crystals* with anti-reflective coating for a superior look, maximum resistance to scratching, and superb clarity.“ All on a sesame-seed bun.
