[laughs]
32:24
Uh, so that's probably not, not a major thing.
32:26
But yeah, you know, my goal is al- or at least when I was a writer, my goal would be to start the day as late as possible.
32:32
Uh, that's doesn't really roll around anymore 'cause your nights will always go late.
32:35
Nothing's on time.
32:37
Um, you always have a, an event or, or if you don't have an event, you have stories to write by the time you get home, images to edit, that sort of thing.
32:43
So a day, a day in the life, uh, for me would be, you know, get up and see where, what the kind of ending status was of the day previous in the New York time zone, how the stories are doing, if the website needs anything scheduled, if, you know, if it needs another set of eyes.
33:34
Mm-hmm.
BrentHOST
42:51
one at a time?
42:53
Yeah, we're figuring it out.
42:55
I do believe, especially when you're starting something, I'm very junior in my woodworking phase.
43:01
So I want to learn how to do things the most laborious way where it's perfect.
43:07
No corners cut, no skill set that someone who's done it for 15 years gets to use.
43:12
And if I was teaching someone to drive now, I would want them to learn manual.
43:15
I'd want them to learn, you know, without the without the the computers that can keep you in your lane and all that kind of stuff.

10 MINS LATER

BrentHOST
53:23
And has the industry gained something from that evolution, maybe lost something? And is there anything that you genuinely miss about the old days?
3:53
What do you think, James?
3:55
You know, I think there's a few different layers to this question.
3:58
One, I would say we aren't at the tech scope of 3D printing, certainly not household 3D printing where you could print a movement.
4:05
You know, with Barrelhand's most recent watch, you have the ability to print that watch.
4:11
But it's, you know, it's like a blank that you could put a strap on and have an idea of its size and that sort of thing.
4:16
And it's, you know, the idea is that it's part of a collection of CAD possibilities that could help them evolve the watch through the community of people who need or love the watch or possibly both, depending on your ability to go to space in the future.
4:30
I think more specifically, like the idea of... movement manufacturer being democratized.

25 MINS LATER

29:47
James, did you have any thoughts on the retail side?
88:31
Is it a good time for lacrosse right now?
88:33
It's a great time for lacrosse right now to join up because all the men's players are in build-up.
88:37
So we have some great athletes, some great players, so you can go watch and learn from them.
88:42
If you're looking to get into lacrosse, I would say go on a Facebook page.
88:46
There's only four teams, so Ponsonby Ponies, Eastern Chiefs, Harbour Hawks or Western Wildcats.
88:52
So I'll just put that into Facebook and find a club and Everyone's very welcoming.
88:57
It's a great community.
89:38
But how physical is it? What do you enjoy about it?
