KC is back! (kinda) We got a few moments with KC while he's still away so we threw together an episode of watches, listener questions and some story time!  (This was a last minute recording , so ouraaudio isn't up to par and Mike had some technical difficulties as well.  BUT, we're still sure to make you laugh!)

This week, Mike & Joe talk straps, strap choices, strap options, bracelets and Lightning McQueen.   Wait, what?!  It all ties together, trust us!

Yes people, we're talking moonSwatch.  Go ahead and roll your eyes but trust us, this is an argument you'll probably have fun listening to .   We really don't have much useful information!  Plus, have you noticed KC hasn't been around? We'll tell you what he's up to.  Cheers!
