"Ebel Gisele Brasilia" – say that five times fast! This week, the boys go so far off the beaten path you'd think they were on a completely different podcast. But this is indeed Burlingame & Park, and once the ship is finally brought back around (after a lengthy deleted tangent on the Concord Watch Company and a heavily edited tangent on the Ebel Brasilia), the boys are sharing thoughts on the biggest G-Shock update in 40 years, along with a little behind-the-scenes look at Topper's second collaboration with DOXA, and a return to the shadowy Farallon Islands off the coast of San Francisco.

The pod we've all been waiting to make is finally here. Back in February of 2025 (Episode 46), we predicted that we would get a new Planet Ocean collection to celebrate the line's 20th anniversary – and today, we finally have a chance to go hands-on with the new collection and see just what we got right in that predictions episode, and what we got wrong. Oh, and be sure to stick around for 'By the Way' as Rob and Russ finally find something they can agree on.
