Description

A podcast about watches, but even more so, about navigating life and trying to appreciate the small details along the way. Join four lifelong friends, now in their mid-40s, as they discuss timepieces, marriage, fatherhood, movies, sports, faith, food and drinks, and much more. Easy listening, fun, funny, personable. 

We appreciate someone who builds a cocktail at home the same way it should be served at a bar. That's someone aware of the small details in life and that ultimately, we wear a nice watch or make a cocktail the right way, not to show off to others, but because we enjoy it ourselves. Welcome 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 hav...

Taking a Break

With our spring schedules busy with travel and family activities, we are taking a little break. Stay tuned for more episodes in the future.
In this episode, the fellas give a nod to the sports lovers by breaking the crowd with some of our favorite memories of great sports moments. They then shift gears to have a fantastic discussion around a more delicate watch topic: What to do when you buy a new watch but don’t love it? 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!
