#62: Phil Toledano - Pathological Contrarian

For episode 62 of the Time 4A Pint Podcast, I got together with fellow talkative Englishman, and pathological contrarian, Phil Toledano. Who you may know from Instagram as Mister Enthusiast.

The topics we covered were many and varied. Including, but not limited to: buying and maintaining group B rally cars, ram raids, Vietnam era pilot’s helmets, the joy of putting your kid’s face onto plates, pillows, and tote bags, how weird and wonderful it is to be a Dad, Birman cats, Mr Frumples the dog, great TV Shows we’re currently watching, the Jaguar XJ220, running a lifestyle clothing brand, watch sausage parties, how instagram can be a rather dull unimaginative echo chamber, turning Rolexes into art, collecting Pateks from the 70s, buying the things that you really like, and the importance of a test tube filled with oil.

These intro’s are getting weirder aren’t they?

You can find pictures and reference numbers of all the watches that we talked about on the page below.
