This week, the TGN boys are trying something new, a different take on a Q&A episode in which Jason and James asked the TGN Slack Crew to offer up their questions – big and small – via a text thread on Slack. The resulting thread was packed full of great questions and now the boys have a list they can go back to when no other topic is warranted for a show. So here it is, the first Slack “Crew & A” (see what I did there?), in which Jason and James chat over dangerous activities, their favorite sandwiches, the “Rolex Curve”, and plenty more.
From the get-go, Jason has found a tropical version of Dick Proenneke and James is in love with his new Pelagos. Stay in the mix for a Final Notes that will have you pore over the latest in cutting-edge hypercars while discovering whether it’s a blessing or a curse to be Bond, James Bond.

Tough episode for all the Miata driving hairdressers out there.
Oh, the famous Rolex curve :)
Ben @Hodinee spoke about the Rolex on the Business Breakdown podcast. One of the more interesting stories about the company https://open.spotify.com/episode/2SHOJwxV9Qr24cko57sCsh
