Aimee Shackleford and Johnny Valencia are the minds behind some of the coolest events and most popular rallies.

Our good friend Chef Carl Ruiz of The Food Network, La Cubana NYC Restaurant, the Opie Radio Podcast and countless other ventures, suddenly passed away over the weekend. While we are all reeling from his death, I want to take the opportunity to celebrate Carl's amazing appearance on our other show, Watch & Listen. This episode focuses on Carl's general philosophy on watches, which I later titled, "Carl Ruins Everything." And it's the best primer on watches for someone who loves, or who hates watches. This episode is available as a video - get it at: https://youtu.be/VZcrVQtHbXEAlso check out his other two appearancesTST Podcast #441: Opie Hughes & Carl Ruizhttps://youtu.be/7ZFZrIU5wPIWatch & Listen Podcast #35: History of Rolex With Carl Ruizhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFtN6cMzS-UWe will miss Carl very dearly, talk about him often, and remember the lessons of his life. RIP Chef Carl Ruiz 1975-2019 #ruizingforver Want your question answered?
