The conversation shifts to what makes watches cool (or not), with insights about how wearing a Rolex can sometimes put people off. James then unveils his "Cool Cars for Cool Guys in 2026" recommendations, boldly declaring that Ferraris under $100,000 are the new cool while Porsches have lost their edge due to market inflation.

Came over for James Pumphrey but barley got to hear what he had to say as a guest and the show just lacks any real structure to what is being discussed. However the constant and abrupt ad breaks were the worse offender. They were too long, too many, and just cut off conversations making it unbearable. This podcast is just not for me.
