I believe I first learned about Kruk design via the algorithm on Instagram. Needless to say, it sure has me pegged. Through friends at Walt Grace Vintage in Miami, I was introduced to today's guest, the founder and one-man-band behind Kruk Designs, Blake Simon. If you're familiar with the tartan plaids, woven leathers, and houndstooth-clad watch rolls, then you may already be familiar with the brand. The son of an entrepreneur, Blake co-founded Horus Watch Straps while still in college, only to set out on his own to begin making his own line of luxury leather goods. Blake shares the advice his father has given him, as well as the cars and watches that are near and dear to his heart. Blake and I quickly realized we are certainly birds of a feather, and this was one of the few in-person interviews I've done in a while, so it's safe to say we had a blast. I hope you enjoy it.Links:STANDARD Hhttps://standard-h.com/@standardh_Kruk Designshttps://www.krukdesigns.com/@krukdesigns

During last night's Phillies game, announcer John Kruk went off on a classic tangent, pondering everything but the game. A Florida home got invaded by raccoons, some drunk got wedged into a kiddie slide on a playground and needed rescuing, and there's a lawsuit facing multiple airlines for the false advertising of a "window seat."

We talk about the not-so-hot stove and the upcoming trade deadline, then a bunch of stuff in the AL East including the Yankees' troubles, the ascendant Blue Jays, and the crybaby Red Sox. Then a few Phillies stories including a new Kruk anecdote, Nick Castellanos (probably) fantasizing about hurting Rob Manfred, and a funny walk off. Rich Hill pitched and it was extremely Rich Hill. Lauren sat courtside at a WNBA game. Stephen is going to a Savannah Bananas game. Jane watched Happy Gilmore 2 so you don't have to.
