Hey, what's up y'all? This is Eric Andre. Well, I made a podcast called Bombing about absolutely tanking on stage. I tell gnarly stories and I talk to friends about their worst moments of bombing in all sorts of ways. Bombing on stage, bombing in public, bombing in life. I want to know what's the worst way they ever bombed or have they ever performed way too drunk or high or was there ever a time where they thought they were going to crush and they stunk it up.

If you're happy and you know it, give me one of those. Pretty happy. You're elated dude. Like 12 horses out front. Woo! I'm in a good mood for no reason. How are you doing Eddie? Pretty good. Better now knowing that you're doing so good. Eddie, what's your favorite meal? Oh my favorite meal? Chicken Caesar salad. What? Just love a good chicken Caesar salad. Eddie's favorite meal is a chicken Caesar salad. Do you like having the, what's more, anchovies on top of it?

I do like the anchovies on top. How many anchovies do you want on top of your Caesar salad? Two or three? Three. Well, one time I had a Caesar salad in the back of a car. You know, like, here's what happens. One time I had a Caesar salad in the back of a car. Mm-hmm. You know, like, here's what happens. I don't usually eat before a performance, but after a performance I eat.

But usually afterwards we're immediately getting into a car. So Eddie, he gets off stage if he's on the show first. He gets to eat while I'm on stage. But when I get off stage, I gotta run. We run to the car. Anyway, this time I happen to have a Caesar salad and I'm just eating it in the back of the car and it had three anchovies on top of it,

but I couldn't see because it's dark, it's night. And I just put all three of them in my mouth at once. I had one bite, there was just like all anchovy. And I couldn't get it down. I was trying like all anchovy and I couldn't get it down. I was trying to get it down. I couldn't get it down. I started dry heaving. And then I was like, this isn't gonna end well.

Like a sea lion. No. Doing tricks and getting fed. I was like a sea lion. I couldn't get it down though. I needed to, oh, it was bad. That was a bad chicken Caesar salad. You know the chicken Caesar salad

was invented in Cabo San Lucas. Mm. Did you know that? I did not know that. It was. A lot of people think of it, you don't think of it as a Mexican dish, but it is. It's originally from Cabo San Lucas.

Don't even look it up, guys. Just trust me that occasionally I have a nugget. Oh, all right. Well, it's time to turn this show over to the people that made this show. The number 67th podcast in this country, comedy related. Feels good. It's not bad, top 100.

We're gonna do some viewer comments. Ed? From the fire episode. I've loved Tosh for years, but it's surprising how woke he is. Must be a California thing. I'm not, I mean, what do I say? It's not a California thing. It's, maybe it's a big city thing.

You live in a city, you experience different walks of life more than other places. Let's be clear, California's got some deep red spots. Yep. Go woke, go broke. You know who's never said that? My business manager. He's like, you're fine.

Yeah, everything's okay. You're not, be as woke as you want, you're not going broke. You know what I like to say, refuse to evolve, enjoy living paycheck to paycheck. That makes a good shirt too. Amber episode, I hate obligated gift giving on holidays or birthdays. Gifts should be for no reason at all.

And just because you want to, because you were thinking of them. I like that idea. And just Santa just shows up at your house any random day. You're just eating lunch. All of a sudden Santa comes down the chimney. Boom! Tons of presents. Holy cow. The chainsaw didn't leave a mark but that Saint Laurent bag nuked the table. Oh are you so excited? Oh wow. Go ahead, open that gift up. How do I? See if you like it. Oh that just scratched the shit out of there. Oh did it really? How did a bag scratch the table? Oh no!

I mean that is the longest scratch ever. Right. Permanently there. Jocelyn, you owe me a new table. This montage makes me appreciate the new table so much. The old table is so tiny. I mean it really was. And good, it was only 30 inches across the old table.

And how do I know exactly? Uh, because Dylan constantly would, would be like, the microphones are only 30 inches apart. That's not enough. I'm getting, I'm getting bleed from your mic into their mic. It's an audio nightmare. So I was like, okay, let's get one that's 42 inches. That would be great

So confrontational I think guys like ballerinas because they're like models with actual talent. Okay, first of all I don't mean to speak for all guys, but guys don't care if hot girls have talent I guess you're right Tosh loves talking about conservatives as if they're dumb, but the guy doesn't know basic elementary level math. Math has never been my strong suit. I'll admit that. And I don't think all conservatives are dumb.

All Christian conservatives, that's a different equation. Here's a little math problem for you. If the world is only 6,000 years old but you find fossils that are 60 million years old, does that mean that God just put them there as a fun little Easter egg to test your faith? Can Daniel claim his gifts as charitable donations? Yes, yes I can. And the grooming that I spend on Carl every other week so that he pops on camera that's a write-off. I beg for an emergency pod discussing Sinner only getting a three month ban and not missing any grand slams. Yeah I don't know what what Sinner did I don't know

who he's got dirt on but the fact that he is just getting by with a slap on the wrist. It's also his steroid, his positive test is just the dumbest thing you could ever imagine. Now I know that there's only a small group of people listening to this that give two fucks. But he failed a steroid test because he said his massage therapist

had a steroid cream on their hand and when they were treating him, it accidentally rubbed into his system. Twice, two different times. Anyway, normally people get like a minimum of a year or two years and he got nothing and now they're like, okay, we messed up on that, we're gonna give him three months. So he misses no major and he gets to play in his home tournament, his home country tournament.

Oh, shocking how that worked out. And by the way, I've said it before and I'll stick by it. I find it confusing that he's from Italy and has an Italian accent and has red hair. It just doesn't match up for my brain. Center needs to do steroids. I mean, I watched him years ago and was like, yeah, it's not fun cheering for him.

He's just rail thin ginger out there. Tennis has to have a little sex appeal on whether it's men or women. You know, Agassi knew that when he was high on whatever drugs he was doing and trying to keep his toupee on during the French Open. People didn't even know he was bald.

He had just a big fake wig on with a headband. It was like, those were the days. My pig was also around eight pounds. Three years later, she's at 120, still lives inside, wonderful pets. Oh, look at that. I can't wait to have 120 pound pig in my bedroom. Oh, okay.

Don't even finish that joke. Oscar's episode. They had a tent on the worm. I love that comment. All cat, they're the same rage that I had. There was a tent and the whole village just going for a ride on the worm that was so impossible to board prior to that scene.

No, this is how we all go, jump on. Sir, sir, sir, we're only boarding group one. Oh, my fault, my fault, I'm military. Well, then you should know how to jump on this by yourself. LOL, there's a hotline thing attached to this video because of Tosh saying he's gonna himself. Okay, we can't, we gotta bleep you Eddie, because they put that on there

because those words were said. And I wasn't even, I wasn't making light of people that end life, I was just pointing out that I was giving all my stuff away constantly and that's a telltale sign of potentially doing said deed. Anyway, get help. So you blew it. You gave it away that you were born in 74,

and then tell us you're in your late 40s? Come on, man, own up to it. You're 50. Oh, I know. The person is referring to when I was talking about being a Dolphins fan from when they won the Super Bowls in 72 and 73, and then I said that I was conceived in 74.

That idiot doesn't understand what conceived means. This is why we have a problem in this country with abortion. People don't know when life begins. This person thinks since I was conceived in 74 that I had to be born that year. No, that's not how it works. I was born nine and a half months later. See, my father put his penis inside

of my virgin mother's vagina. And they nurtured, they nurtured me. And then nine and a half months later, I was born in Germany in Bopard in 1975, the 29th day of May. And they said, it is good. It sounded like something straight out of a Bible. Why does he think we give a shit about his parenting stories and family life?

I don't watch this for that. Well, it's like this and like that. I'm like this and uh, it's like that and like this and like that. And uh, am I right? Oh, you're right. I'm like this and a, it's like that and like this and like that and a. Am I right? Oh, you're right. Ah, I don't know what you watch this for or listen to it for, but all I know is I appreciate it. Like and subscribe.

Tosh show is good, but could be great with a bigger frame. I agree, but it's not a frame, it's a border. Hey, it's a subtle border that makes you feel like you could hang your iPhone on the wall and watch me. It's like moving art. How long have we been, I feel like we've read too many comments. This would be a perfect time for me

to start wearing a watch. I need a watch guy. Enjoy. podcast comes in every single morning in under 15 minutes.

podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. For all the money I've wasted in my life, I've never bought a luxury wristwatch, mostly because I'm successful enough that I never gave a shit what time it is, but maybe after my conversation with today's Horologist I'll finally see what all the fuss is about please welcome watch collector and dealer extraordinaire to the stars Eric Thank you. Thanks for having me. Hey, thanks for being here. By the way, just in case you're curious I'm dressed today like somebody that would sell fake watches. That's what I was going for. I see. I can already... first question is normally, Do you believe in ghosts? But I want to get right to that timepiece that's on your wrist.

I was fed misinformation that you were a connoisseur of Casio G-Shocks. So I thought I'd bring a kind of special one to show you. Is that, that's a Casio G-Shock, but it has a price tag that I'm positive I'm gonna be blown away by. Yeah, it was made for the 35th anniversary. They made 35 pieces. And it's the only G-Shock they ever made entirely out of 18 karat gold. So it's like a brick on your wrist. Oh, that's amazing. Is that six figures low six figures over one under two do you care about it do you like no I want this I've been looking for one of these for many years and this one just came up not that long ago uh-huh and had to have it so I don't

wear watches okay I own this Casio there. Okay. I mean you can kind of see that it looks kind of similar. It's gonna look no it's it's a Let me feel heavy this is oh my goodness that is so silly I love the irony of this watch because it looks like any other $120 kind of a gold tone Casio G shock. Well. Well do you know this Casio is $8 on Amazon. Now I don't, we all know Amazon is the devil, fine. But this watch, I ordered this watch in the morning and it was at my house that afternoon. Amazon Prime, same day. It's almost as if they just have a bunch of these in their truck and like here somebody wants. Now the only reason I wear this watch is because I had children and when I go surfing I need to know how long that nap is gonna

be or if I have to pick somebody up or get something. So I was like I need a watch to surf in for the first time in my life and so I got this watch. Then I noticed on it it just says water resistant. What's that about? By the way, I've never had an issue with it. It keeps perfect time. I don't change it to standard back into daylight savings time. You switch your watches back and forth? You know, I kind of just grab whatever is around and usually I have to set the time

before I wear it. So you always make sure that it's right? Most of the time, except sometimes there's really complicated watches to set that could take like 10, 15 minutes to set that could take like, 10-15 minutes to set and I don't bother doing that. By the way, since I, as a child, I used to have a shark freestyle watch with the cloth band, and then in school you'd smell under your wrist. It's like an 80s thing, Velcro band.

Yeah, it's a double Velcro both ways, like a leash. Yeah. Now that- What happened to that brand? I don't even- Are you kidding me? Those things have to be worth a fortune now. Yeah, it's a double Velcro both ways, like a leash. Yeah. Now that- What happened to that brand? I don't even- Are you kidding me? Those things have to be worth a fortune now. I'm sitting on like 700 sweaty bands.

Might be worth tens of dollars. Do you believe in ghosts? I do. Ah, wasn't sure. I didn't know which way you were going to swing on that one. I'm a pretty rational person, but I do. Did you accidentally put on two watches or is that your daily routine? No, no, no. It's not my my daily routine I thought we would be talking about

something so I brought another interesting watch just to share with you. What's what's on that wrist over there? This is a cool watch this is called the Sheesh and it's made by Cartier and it was the trophy for this thing called the the Cartier challenge and it was for the winner this thing called the Cartier Challenge. And it was for the winner. There's a famous car race called the Paris to Car Rally, where they drive like cars and motorcycles from Paris to Dakar. And you had to win it twice to win this watch.

And only one person ever won it twice. So they had only given away one of these watches as a prize and so it's like a unique piece and it was given I think in 1986. And how did you get it? It was a watch auction purchase. Oh man, how did you get so into watches? Obviously you cared about them your whole life but where was that transition? When I was a kid one of the first kind of educational gifts that my parents got me was a subscription to National Geographic magazine. And Rolex always had a prominent advertisement in the magazine.

It was either like the back cover or the front inner cover. And Rolex would always make these ad campaigns talking about achievements and like human ingenuity. And you know, Rolex was tied to the summoning of Mount Everest by Tenzing and Hillary in 1953. And then all these feats that they sponsored, like Louis Leakey who studied the great apes and the origin of man. And so their advertising was always tying

with these sort of super scientists. And it just got ingrained in my mind that Rolex's were very high quality watches I mean they are but man you were really affected by advertising. Yes, I was I got National Geographic as well as a child And all I took from it was like boobs come in all shapes and sizes. Well that too, you know pancake ones Where'd you grow up I grew up in Potomac, Maryland. It's a suburb of Washington, D.C. You love Maryland?

You know, I came out to California for college and never went back. That happens to a lot of people. By the way, where did you go to college? Berkeley. Boom. 98% of the people we've had on this show have gone to Berkeley. I swear to you.

Really? Yeah. It's almost like we're a satellite campus. This podcast, I'm telling you, it's pretty intellectual. Cal Bears. I don't ask for a lot on this show, but I think Berkeley should at least get my kids in. They're not gonna do well once they get there. They might give you an honorary degree, you never know. I don't want the degree, I just want my kids to go there.

Man, I would take some pride in that. You have children? One? I do. I have one son. He just turned three. You putting tons of pressure on him? No, no. I was just freestyle. That's what I wanted to hear. Good for you. All right. Talk about when you were in college, the day trading.

Freshman year, spring semester, I started day trading with this money that my dad had given me for a year's advanced tuition room and board and everything and eBay had just IPO this was I think 1998. Okay, and I was able to take $30,000 and turned into like four four hundred something thousand. That's what I wanted to hear Yeah, I thought I was a financial genius. Were you like I'm gonna drop out of college not not that level but started doing, I thought I was a financial genius. Were you like, I'm gonna drop out of college? Not that level, but started doing stupid shit. Like I bought a watch, I ordered a brand new Porsche and I didn't wanna take one off of the lot. I wanted to like spec it exactly how I wanted it.

When you say stupid, all I hear is just goddamn genius. Thank you. It's, I mean, you're in college. It wasn't like you were 60 and had like a family, of 20 to support. You were in college and you took 30 and ran it up to half a million dollars. Yeah, exactly. Had a happy ending? No, no, no. I mean, long term, long term, yes, short term, no. After 30 days, you can start playing options on stocks. And I was like, this stock, there's no way that it can be this high. And I just like put everything into like shorting the stock. And then I went from like 400 something thousand

down to like $12. Yeah, but you still had that Porsche. No, I didn't because I didn't pick one off of the lot. I ordered it and then put a $2,000 deposit. And in California, deposits are always refundable. But I was so embarrassed. I didn't even get the $2,000 back. You didn't go collect that $2,000?

No, no I didn't. You're still owed that money. I am probably, it's an uncollected fund somewhere. I put 2,000 years and years ago on a Sprinter van and my wife never let me get it. She's refused to let me get it and I collected. There you go. You stayed in school, you finished?

I did. What did you study? I studied interdisciplinary studies, which was a really flim flam major of you didn't know what you wanted to do and you could combine three majors into one. Oh, wow. Did you take any quote unquote real job

right out of college? Oh, totally. I had worked in various companies, startups. And my last real job was at this computer recycling company. And I remember the moment that I became a watch dealer full time was because I had gotten like seven FedEx packages in my office. And whatever the managing director of the business was like all shitty. like seven FedEx packages in my office and you know, whatever

the managing director of the business was like all shitty I was like doing all this stupid stuff there and I just realized like what the hell am I doing here? And I went and just quit that day I just gave notice and then left so how long from college to that moment I would say like I work for a good four or five years in various jobs. Okay, and then quitting your job and saying full time, this is my passion, how long from that moment to, oh, I've made myself a good career here.

I mean, I think even like that first year, I was like doing quite well and so I was really happy. I mean, I can't imagine doing a job working for somebody else right now, you know? Yeah, I sat in one interview before I was really happy. I mean I can't imagine doing a job working for somebody else right now you know. Yeah I sat in one interview before I was like oh no I can't have a job this is this is bad. Well just because I was like I wouldn't hire me and I'm an idiot. What was the first nice watch you bought went in college? Yeah it was a it was a Rolex Air King which is the cheapest watch they made at the time. What's the cheapest Rolex cost now? Now it's probably like 7,000

bucks. Wait funny story about your original Rolex. Yes. Is that you bought it back. Yes. You had a hawk it. Yes. During my financial crisis of 1998. And you got a similar one or you tracked down the exact watch? So I sold it on eBay, funnily enough. Oh, the company you were shorting. Yeah. Look at you. In 1998. And several years later, I fired up

like an old computer with all the old emails because they weren't in the cloud at the time. I found the person that I sold it to, and I emailed them and explained that I'd become a watch dealer, and I was really interested in buying the watch back because it had a lot of sentimental meaning to me. And then the guy wrote back. And he just gouged the shit out of you.

Well, he gouged the shit out of me, but the first email I got back was like, well, it has a lot of meaning to me too. Oh, brother. The guy was a lawyer unfortunately and I paid a world record price for this to buy that watch back. Well you know what it'll get him eventually something will get him or he's probably still just making a killing. Still a lawyer I think. What's the most expensive watch you've ever sold? Privately, I sold a watch that was $15.5 million.

God damn, I wanted to hear that. $15.5 million. And on our auction website, we sold one Cartier for like 1.65 million, which is a world record for that watch. By the way, you own, is it your company or you co-founded a watch auction site? What's it called?

I co-founded with my partner Justin, a watch auction site called Loop This. We're located in West Hollywood and we do watch auctions every day. Do you control the reserves that people put on their watches? Everything we sell is no reserve. No reserve? Yep.

Oh man, now I gotta be on that site all the time? A real auction shouldn't have a reserve. Of course not. And it shouldn't end with like a clock. How do you guys snuff out bad behavior then? In terms of? You know, people putting false bids in. I mean, we do things like do credit card holds

and all this stuff, and there's sophisticated algorithms to look for this How many times you have you do people buy watches and then they renege on the whole thing? We've been quite lucky you we've auctioned about 3,000 watches so far and our cancelled Transaction rate is I mean I would say maybe 10 to 15 out of 3,000 It's very, very minimal.

Are you allowed to bid on your own site? You know, there's been times. I asked as accusatory as possible. There's been times where we really wanted to buy something for ourselves, but you know, we just let it go. My question is, like, have you seen something on your site like, oh, that person got a steal.

That is undervalued for what that watch is worth. There's been times that things sell less than we anticipate. That'd be hard not to pull the trigger on it. But there's also things that sell for like a lot more. That always happens. That's what auctions are supposed to be. You're supposed to be overpaying.

You co-founded a watch repair company. How much service do watches actually need besides occasionally changing a battery? Digital watches like a Casio G-Shock, the movements are quite cheap inside. Aside from changing a battery, there's something wrong. They usually just toss the movement and put a new module in like a few bucks. Okay. Mechanical watches require quite a bit of service every few years and It's very complicated

And there's not that many people that can do it and it's kind of becoming like a lost lost art You know, do you actually do it or no? I myself do not have you ever tinkered? Can you get in there and do anything? I know that every time I try to play watchmaker I fuck something up. Do million dollar watches have batteries? Typically not. Okay. A million dollar watch that has a battery inside, it's million dollars probably because it's made out of like precious metal and diamonds and things like that.

Or it was on someone famous when they were killed? Potentially. Uh-huh. Although most of the watches that come up for auction belonging to famous dead people are usually mechanical. All right, let me embarrass myself and start start you can correct my pronunciation on these brands. What is Audemars? Is it Pigaat? Pooja? Audemars Piguet Audemars Piguet. Yes. Oh

Okay, Patik Philippe Philippe Patek Philippe Patek Philippe. I actually have heard Patek Philippe Richard Miele Miller Richard mealiele. Miele? Yeah. That one's easy. What is longness? Long? Longines? Longines. Yes. I haven't gotten one right yet. What is it? Hublot? Hublot? Hublot. Yeah. Which one of those is the best watch? I think many people would say that Paddock Philippe is the best. What's an entry level Patek Philippe set you back? Nowadays, I would say $30,000. Why are new watches now sometimes cheaper than after it's

been around for a few years? I think because there's a very robust collectors market, and things that are discontinued become collectible. So there's some old models, vintage pieces pieces that have become highly coveted over the years What timepiece would you suggest to someone who's just starting to be interested in nicer watches? I mean the great thing about watch Collecting is there's always something interesting in like every different price point There are a lot of interesting watches that are right around a thousand dollars ranging up to like several million dollars

I think for I'm gonna just make a bunch of assumptions here But assuming a budget is you know, like a thousand or two thousand dollars. There's a lot of No, no, my budget is gonna be bigger than this. So if I'm jumping to the game ten thousand. Yeah Now I'm wearing something. Yeah at ten thousand,000 there's definitely like a lot of choices. I think the watches that preserve value the most and the market is the biggest for would be some sort of a Rolex, like a Rolex dive watch, a Submariner.

Oyster Jubilee or President? I like oyster bracelets. That's a very sophisticated question by the way. Well, I want people to know the wristbands on the Rolex. Are those the only three options or no? They do this thing called Oyster Flex now, which is like a rubber bracelet, which is kind of cool, actually.

Fuck, marry, kill. Fossil Timex Swatch. This is a very tough one. I just wanted to go from sophisticated question. I'd kill fossil. Oh man and Toss up on the other two How good are the fake Rolexes that people sell like on the streets in New York?

I would say there are some very good fakes I'm in all these like groups online like other watch dealers and whatnot and a lot of the people that are in these groups could be like owners of like pawn shops or small jewelry stores. There are like organized group like gangs of people that take these very convincing fake watches and just try to like pawn them or sell them. And so there's all these like alerts that I see in the group. Some of them have gotten quite good. What's the best? What's the best con someone's pulled, money-wise? I mean, it's always with some sort of a Rolex, because they're so liquid.

They're like cash, right? It's so great. So a watch that's worth maybe $12,000 to $15,000, somebody could go into a pawn shop and want $3,000. And then the greed gets ahold of whomever, and then they kind of don't check carefully, and they get ripped off You know if I owned a really nice fake watch with no intention of ever trying to con anyone other than just wearing it

For my own personal enjoyment or to flex is that still do you still like mmm? I don't that that hurts our business I don't think it hurts our business, but I think it might reflect poorly on the person that's wearing a fake watch and flexing. Well, what if you don't, I mean, if no one knows, I'm not letting anybody examine it, but occasionally you just see me walking around and it's like, oh, look at that. I mean, there's like a really funny thing. There's this very coveted Patek Philippe watch called the Nautilus, and they made a special one with Tiffany, the jeweler, and they made 170 pieces. These things, it's like silly because if you can buy it, it's $35,000, $40,000.

The market price was as high as 5 million for this watch. And highly qualified buyers, celebrities were wearing them, but you'd go to Europe and be in Paris. It's like all the taxi drivers are wearing like fakes of that watch. This is kind of a funny thing, you know? There's actually, you could probably find this photo online of after the Taliban liberated Afghanistan,

they were wearing these like Tiffany Nautilus. So, you know, it's like a weird thing. I mean, I'm not gonna pass judgment on anybody that chooses to do that, but. Do you know any celebrities that do that? Because there are celebrities that admit that they wear fake diamonds because they, you know. I think fake diamonds,

there's no intellectual property behind that. But like watches, I mean, in movies, they use fake watches a lot, prop watches. But I don't know any celebrities that would be like, I'm wearing a fake Rolex on the red carpet today. Nah, you wait, I'm gonna wear a fake shark. Have you personally ever been conned or caught someone trying to sell a counterfeit watch to you?

You know, people offer counterfeits all the time. In the watch world, there's degrees of like fake. It's not like a made in China, like fake Rolex. The value in watches a lot of times is based on certain components like the dial is in some collectible Rolexes the dial is maybe 90% of the value. So a lot of people try to manipulate the dial and it's more like a bespoke level of fakery as opposed to like a factory made fake. And this is very prevalent in as opposed to like a factory-made fake.

And this is very prevalent in watches. A regular Daytona, let's say, is worth like $40,000. A Paul Newman Daytona can be worth three, 400,000. So if somebody can manipulate a dial to make it look a certain way, they have like a 10X appreciation potentially. Paul Newman. You think he's dressing? Not really.

Does Hollywood come calling for like, either freebies for people walking the red carpet, or for a project where they want somebody to wear a watch? And do you care about that, or do you say, nah, that's not my business? I mean, it's fun sometimes, and when it works, it's like, cool. Okay. I would say the most prominent one that I was involved in was I sourced this very expensive

Rolex Daytona for that movie Crazy Rich Asians. It was actually quite prominently featured in the movie. And both the director and the writer of that book were really into the little details and wanted to do it right. And so they wanted like a specific vintage Rolex for that scene, which I was able to provide for them.

And it was just like a nerd thing. Nobody got any credit for it or anything, but it was interesting seeing it in the movie. And funnily enough, Rolex is a sponsor of the Oscars now, and they put together a like 30 second or one minute long commercial of all these montages of movies showing Rolexes and that was fairly prominently featured in the commercial so I thought it was kind of fun.

You made it to the Oscars. I did. I love Crazy Rich Asians. I just liked it because it was like a world that was like oh, I knew that wealth existed but it's fun to watch it. It was a fun movie for sure. Do you hate the celebrities that are in the collecting game?

Do they negatively affect what you do or is it all positive? I mean, I think it's generally positive. Mark Zuckerberg, are you glad that he's like flaunting the wealth on the wrist or no? I mean, it's certainly bringing a lot of attention to watches, but it's just kind of interesting when you're like Thanos and have unlimited money, you can just buy whatever. But he's very quickly, over the last three months,

become a big collecting celebrity. Yeah, I hated him when he started wake surfing. I'm like, get the fuck off the lake. There's a John Mayer Limited Edition AP Royal Oak Jumbo Ultra Thin Rose Gold watch that sells for $180,000. the lake. There's a John Mayer limited edition AP Royal Oak jumbo ultra thin rose gold watch that sells for $180,000. Does it also play James Blunt covers? That's a good one. That makes me laugh. James Blunt. What a dig on John Mayer. Hey John Mayer, is he a legitimate watch collector? He's a legitimate watch collector. When I

started my, I started a website years ago called Ten Past Ten, it was like in 2005 or 2006. He was literally the first watch I sold was a John Mayer off of my website. He bought it or you bought one of his? He bought it from me. Okay. Yeah. He's really a very educated and like very into watches.

Like he knows his stuff. What's the guy-girl ratio in this world of collecting high-end watches? It seems like it's male dominated. It's skewed quite heavily to the men, but I would say in the last five, 10 years, there's been a lot more female collectors. And what about the watches themselves?

Is it, do women still, if they're a collector, do they still want the man's watch? We went through this era in like the early aughts where people were wearing these huge watches that looked like tunicans, you know? And the men were doing it, women were doing it. And now the look is more restrained and refined and elegant. And I have this like running joke

because I collect like dress watches a lot, which tend to be smaller, right? Especially Cartier, for example. And we always like have a joke. It's like, is this a men's or women's watch? And that's like, Oh, this is like an Eric men's watch, which could be like a women's watch or something. But you know, it's just taste change over time. Eric's men's watch. That's nice. Yeah. My father-in-law used to wear a Rolex and it was, I forgot what the name of it was, but it seemed dainty. And I kept saying, you should graduate to a man's watch.

Yeah. And then I feel like I shamed him to a point where he eventually sold it. He just sold it. And then he wears his late father's Rolex, which I will point out is a man's watch, a much, much bigger watch. I mean, in the 1940s, when Rolex really started

like ramping up, the watch that they made at that time, we call like a bubble back because the movement is really thick. So it looks like a bubble on the back. They're really small. The average diameter of a men's watch now, I'd say, is about 36 to 38 millimeters. Those are like, you know know like 28, 30,

really small and that was like a men's watch. Yeah everything. If you look at photos of like Chuck Yeager the famous pilot like he wore this little like speed king when he broke the speed record or whatever and the things like this big. Best James Bond watch, Daniel Craig's Omega Seamaster 3000 or Roger Moore's Seiko G757 in Octopussy? Please lock in your answer. We're getting into really nerdy territory here. Can I do an other? Yes, is it a Rolex? The other would be the Rolex. It was a Submariner that Roger Moore wore. I forget which James Bond but it had like teeth that could cut a rope when he was tied up.

And when Ian Fleming wrote James Bond, it specifically mentioned Rolex. It changed over the years because of licensing and people wanting to promote things. Like the Omega tie-in was obviously a licensing deal. Did that upset you, the Omega tie-in? I think it upset a lot of people that were about authenticity.

Is that a good watch by the way? They're good watches. Okay. How many watches do you personally own? My personal collection, I mean, I would say maybe like a hundred pieces. You have a safe? There are many safes.

That's another problem. It could be PTSD from the wildfires but like my wife during these last evacuations we took off up to Santa Barbara and I came back every day and checking the house and she's like you know move some stuff down to the guest house because that's like a little bunker that we don't want to lose and I'm walking around the house going I don't know I don't know what is worth keeping in here. I just couldn't figure it out.

So I love that I don't have a watch to care about. Like, would you panic in an evacuation, like I need to get all my watches? I mean, for best practices, I don't really keep any watches at the house. You're saying that for the listeners. Everything's, no, I mean, everything's like in my offices or like in a bank deposit

Um, I think that's a long way to go when you're getting dressed in the morning to go grab your watch I gotta go swing by the bank to get my swanky Casio that cost six figures But when I go to the office, I can just pull you know, I'm out of the safe there Do you get stressed out when you know, you have something so valuable on your wrist sometimes? Yes Are you scared of magicians? Sleight of hand things, yes. I never traveled to Europe with a nice watch on my wrist because there's many street magicians there.

Or those guys in Europe, what they do is they have like a little blade here and they just cut the strap. Is that what they do? Yeah. They're always riding on scooters. Never wear a nice watch when you're traveling around Europe. I thought you were going to say never ride a scooter. I'm like, wait. Well, that too.

Why are some watch water resistant ratings so high? Are people actually diving a thousand meters in Rolex? These are like purpose made things. They have one model of Rolex called the Deepsea and James Cameron, the director. Who else would you be talking about when you said James Cameron? Yeah. I mean, there's James Cameron, the director. Who else would you be talking about when you said James Cameron? Yeah.

I mean, there's James Cameron, the guy that works at the gas station, you know? No one wants to hear about his watch. Yeah, it's Jimmy Cameron. All right, Jimmy Cameron, yeah. Yes, well, he's big into everything underwater. Like deep sea exploration, Titanic, all that type of stuff. What's he wearing?

So he has this one called the Deep Sea Challenge. Okay. The thing is like this big, it's almost the size of this cup. And it can go down to like the depth of the Marianas Trench, which is like the deepest point in the world, which I don't really know if there's people

that can prove or disprove that is actually down there. Right, does he just take his hand out of the little submersible and say, look, it's still working? Kind of. Yeah. Do you know what the most valuable watch in the world is? It's this pocket watch called the Graves Super Complication.

In the early 1900s, there were these two guys, Henry Graves and Robert Packard, or Packard, I don't remember the first name. And they were both like wealthy industrialists that were constantly trying to one up each other in commissioning overly complicated watches. So the most complicated one was the Henry Graves Super Complication.

And the thing is literally like this and like this thick. And it's just, I think, I don't even know how many, but it's got like 35, 27, something, a lot of complications. You know, it can calculate where the stars are at night time. It can calculate the sunrise, sunset time. You know, it can- I mean, how do you prove that?

I'd just be like, yeah, it's calculating where the stars are. I'm convinced that it never actually worked, but, you know, but that's like, that sold at auction several years ago for 20 something million. And it's a mystery who bought it. And if that ever came up again, I mean, But that's like that sold at auction several years ago for 20 something million and It's a mystery who bought it and if that ever came up again I mean that could be a candidate to be like 50 or 100 million dollars And would you throw your hat into the ring? I'd be the guy placing one bid for like a hundred thousand And then when they ask would you like another bid sir? I'm like, oh no, I'm good. Where are you on pocket watches?

You know if I had a monocle, I would probably carry a pocket watch, but. That's too many things hanging. Yeah. Talk about how stupid smart watches are. People texting on their Riz, what the fuck? You know, I love the Apple watch for its like usefulness, but I never do like the texting or anything on it.

You know, it's just to show data like more one way, I guess. Okay. Yeah. So you own an Apple watch? I do. I wear it quite often. You have a fancy band for it or no? No, no. I just wear it on...

I like the rubber loop. Everybody that's on the show gets a gift. It's not exciting though, usually. It's just stuff from my house that I get rid of. The first thing I'm gonna give you is... I've never owned a watch. Okay. But...

That's not completely true one time I was performing in Ireland I was at this Kill Kennedy Comedy Festival I was with Dom Arara this comedy icon and he was yelling at me. He goes, why don't you have a watch? He's like it's the only tool We need as comedians. We just need to know how long we've been on stage is the one thing we need. And I was like, I don't know.

I just never had a, he's like, you buy a watch. And I literally went into one of those dumb, what are those things called in international airports? A duty free shop. I went in London and I bought a watch. And I was like, there, I bought a watch, Dom. And he's like, good, it's Gucci. Oh, I didn't even know they made watches.

Anyway, I wore it for a while on stage, but now I want you to have the only watch Oh my gosh. That I've ever really owned. This is a big responsibility here. Yeah, it is. Thank you. Oh, you're welcome. You might see this on eBay one day. I hope it's on eBay tonight You put that on your auction site you let me let me know how it goes It come with a meet-and-greet experience No

But I mean I can verify that it is my watch that I bought it here at the airport at the duty-free shop in Heathrow In Heathrow, I will wear this with honor All right, get that off my desk is gonna be this is for your your son This is cactus water. Oh my gosh. I don't it's yeah, it's so stupid. My wife bought all this cactus water It's half the sugar of coconut water my kids fucking hate it and I'm like, we'll get rid of it So you're like, well, why don't you throw it away? No, I don't throw it away. During the evacuation,

Everybody was drinking cactus water? They said no, you couldn't drink the water for a while. So I'm like, oh shit, the only water in the house is this fucking cactus water. And I was like, this is horrible. How does it taste? I don't know, it's not my thing. Thank you.

See if you're something like that. Okay, now bring that other thing over for me. This is my road gift for your kid, but it's, it's not my thing. Thank you. See if you're something like that. Okay now bring that other thing over for me This is this is my road gift for your kid, but it's it's oh My gosh, this is a real Bentley tricycle, but it's a three-in-one Meaning that like right now the pedals don't move, but you you click this and then it becomes another cut Wow, the steering doesn't work But like it works with the hand if you're but if you want the the steering to work, click it. Oh, sorry. I forgot which way it is. There it is. Now it's working. Then this, this comes off. Oh, this whole thing. You're gonna love this.

I'm honored thank you very much did your kid grow out of this or he just didn't like it or what? Yeah no he, no, he grew out of it. Okay. Yeah, the oldest one.

You have to peel the sticker on the top. Don't tell me how to do it. Okay, okay. How many did we get? There's three boxes in there. That's all I needed. Oh, look at this box. This is fancy.

Oh, those are fancy. You guys don't mind real quick, do you? Indulge. Mmhmm. There's THC in there. In there? No, I'm just kidding. That's not gonna bother me.

I'm happy. How long have you been married? 18 years. Why'd you wait so long to have a kid? Because I was always stressed out that I was not ready to be a dad. Now it's difficult being that old dad. I think it's just I'm so much older than you and you say you're an old dad so that makes me laugh.

How old are your kids? Five and... and now it's difficult being that old dad. I think it's, I'm so much older than you and you say you're an old dad, so that makes me laugh. How old are your kids? Five and two. Okay, so. Six and two, I don't know, hold on. No, I don't know how old my kids are, but I don't care about that.

How old are you when you had your first kid? 44, 45. Okay, so I was 42, similar. Right. Just tired. No, I don't, I love it. It's so I was 42, similar. Right. Just tired. No, I love it. It's so much better being this age. Are you kidding me?

First of all, we don't have to do it as long, you know? I don't know what that means. You know what it means. It means we don't have to, by time they're horribly problematic, you know, taking our money and shorten whatever stock they think they should do. We're gonna be like, whatever, good luck. Do you care about clocks? A little bit. You got a grandfather clock at your house? No

grandfather clock. Now I grew up with a cuckoo clock and I guess that's probably one of the few things that I have sentimental associated with fond memories of childhood. So when I got older, I bought a good cuckoo clock from Germany and I love that thing. What I've learned though is that if you don't, it's in a vacation cottage and then when I go to visit it, I have to take it apart and oil it. I have to oil it a little bit every now and again.

If it sits for too long, that's not good. But man, do I love that cuckoo clock. That might be the only thing I like This is a John's grandfather's World War two watch. Okay. Yeah, how often is your job? Just people bringing old World War two watches and saying hey, is this worth anything? It happens. Okay, um Wartime watches are quite collectible. Mm-hmm. This is an Elgin and I see it has the engravings on the back with the military stock number on it. How much would you give me right now just it and I'll take

anything? A few hundred bucks. I'll take it. Okay. Sold. Say bye to the heirloom John. John you've got 200 bucks. He's got three kids, he doesn't need this thing. Oh, I gotta buy lunch. Yeah. What do your parents think of your career choices now that everything has worked out well for you? I mean, now the dust has settled and I'm in my 40s. You know, everything kinda worked out and it was great.

But, you know, to tell my parents, hey, I went to school at Berkeley, I had legitimate jobs, and then I wanted to quit at Berkeley. I had legitimate jobs. And then I wanted to quit everything and become a watch dealer. That was kind of a difficult discussion in the beginning. But now do they all own nice watches? Yeah, they're all good.

They all own nice watches, you know, and everybody's having a good time. All right, Eric, thank you for being on the show. Thank you for teaching me about watches. And- Thanks for having me. I'm gonna cherish this. Yeah, there you go.

My father-in-law, as you may remember, he had, he's getting both knees replaced and he had the first one done, and I said, hey, send me a video when they're taking the staples out. Because they look pretty gruesome. Anyway, he sends me this video. And it's so cringy to listen to. Not, you're like, oh, is it gross to watch staples being pulled out?

No, not at all, that part's fine. He doesn't realize that there's audio when it's recording. And I thought it was a bit at first. He's just talking to this woman about me. She's like an intern or not an intern, like a college resident that's pulling the staples out. So she's probably 19 or 20 and she has no clue who I am, which is a little insulting, I'm not gonna lie.

I might have to book myself at a nursing school. Anyway, but he just keeps going on. Like, do you know Comedy Central? He was on there for like 13 years. He did a show, it was very popular, just going on. Do you ever watch, you're too young, did you ever watch Comedy Central? No. Okay.

She's married to him.

Just doesn't end. I like your shoes. You got them from the man's store? Those are from my daughter that's married to Daniel. Holy cow. The guy, not one mention of his other kids, he doesn't care at all about them. There's no mention of his other daughter

or his youngest son who's out in L.A. just trying to hustle. No mention of his oldest son or his wife. All of this nonsense back, which just keeps talking about me. It's so funny to me. Then I play it to my wife I played to Carly. She's just like has her head down. She can't listen to it. Then at one point he goes Oh, no, I think it's recording audio. Oh, and he's like, oh, sorry Daniel if I there's no sound I won't send it to him. Sorry Daniel He doesn't know that vid I didn't there's no video recording silently

If I see you out in the street wearing it, you're going to get one of these. Uh, Eddie's tour. Check out his website and my tour. Remember that I canceled Lisbon so that I could be in Philly, the Lisbon of the East Coast of America. And then I'm going to Lisbon right after that show. Now it's time for the free plug. Okay.

What do we got here? Let's see. Today's free plug goes out to all my crunchy moms out there because it is for Childish. Childish. Yeah, it's a brand of safe plates. You get it? All right. because it is for Childish, Childish. Yeah, it's a brand of safe plates. You get it? Childish.

I like it. Yeah, it's a pretty good name. All right, you won't find plastics, BPA, melamine, or any other endocrine disruption toxins in their products. Easy for me to say. Childish makes functional dinnerware alternatives to keep your children healthy. They're dishwasher and microwave safe,

but are made of lead-free ceramic with FDA approved silicone. Is FDA still a thing? I feel like the current administration might have chopped that out. They might have. They might have got rid of FDA. By the way, I have these dishes in my house for the kids.

It says it's designed for children three and up, but I let my two-year-old use it, but she's gifted. The thing about it is they've got like a, you know, this real ceramic plate and they've got some cool graphics on it, but then they have this rubber silicone underneath it so it keeps it from not sliding. But here, wait for it, that you take off when you're done eating, put it on top, it's a lid,

put the plate in the refrigerator, boom, your second feeding, you're not having to do a second set of dishes, it's its own little container. That's where they got me. I like that. Now, have I bought a set of it? No, no.

She gave us two sets for free, but you know, now she's getting a free plug. That's how it works. You grease my wheel. I scratch your back. By the way, this is founded by two moms. I know one of the moms, she's nice. She's a good, has a son, plays with my son. Her son is just a super athlete. Same age as my son.

My son can't keep up at all, but he tries. And I'm like, don't worry buddy, you just keep losing to him, it's gonna build character. He's like, I wanna win once. I'm like, nah, winning's no good. Coming in second, that's where it's at. What do they, they say a healthy meal starts with a healthy plate.

Stop feeding your kids plastic, use childish instead. There's a nice plug. Now the next playdate, I'll have, bombing in life.
