This week Mike is joined by his wife as they discuss watch obsession from the perspective of a very patient and supportive partner. She opens up and shares what she likes about watches, what they mean to her, and what it’s like living with an absolute watch lunatic.
Kaz joins us in spirit and it’s a seriously fun episode that tackles topics we’ve never addressed on TBWS before. Be sure to listen in with that special someone!

I just started listening to the show and this was the first episode I listened to. Very enjoyable. I was laughing out loud in my car on my drive home because of Mike’s wife and her reaction to some of the watches they talked about on the show. Very honest answers and she was also very supportive of Mike’s obsession, even when he was trying to convince her that he’s a nut case over watches. Really enjoyed this one guys well done!
Then I decided to listen to most current episode of the podcast and my, what a big contrast. I had to listen to something else because all I heard from Mike’s co host was the F word. I don’t mind swearing, but damn, that dude swears a lot! Lol
Mike’s co-host here – super sorry about that. There is a lot of swearing on the show.
