Kaz & Mike could've sworn they've touched on this topic before. This time, it's all about more watches that were just so close to perfection but missed the mark in the end. It could be anything from an odd spec to bad marketing and more. Tune in to hear each of their picks.

Plus there's a wave of new reviews and buying guides on the site for your enjoyment. Swing by TwoBrokeWatchSnobs.com to check them out!

After a brief hiatus, Kaz and Mike are back with some tremendous news and a completely new perspective on what they've called "the dad watch"—and for very good reason.

Tune in to hear why they've been gone for so long and the story of Kaz's journey to fatherhood with a bunch of watch talk and site updates sprinkled in.

Show notes coming soon...

It's story time at TBWS. So many stories.

Tune in to listen about how Mike lost access to nearly all of his watches and how the experience changed his perspective what any overall collection should looks like.

There's also a real, on-air battle with a hornet, way too much guitar gear talk, and very focused online shopping for big boy astronaut pants.
