Hello, everybody. Welcome to the figuring out podcast is the third episode.
Yeah. You know, Thanksgiving just passed and, you know, in Thanksgiving season,
it really kind of highlights the autumn season.
So I thought this episode, we kind of talk about that a little bit.
We're getting festive. Got my flannel on. Yeah.
We've got the turkey on the wall.
We don't actually, as you can see, I looked at the camera for a minute.
Wait a minute. I put a turkey on the wall, pinned it to the wall.
It's the whole bird.
Oh, question real one or stuffed.
I don't know. Look at the wall.
Could be like some preschool craft.
Yeah, you know, it's one of the little hand turkeys.
Chase my hand in marker and then add feathers on it.
I made one of those. Yeah, I made one of those, too.
I think we all did. Yeah.
Except you guys were doing it with your siblings and I was doing it with.
No, I went to normal preschool. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. My bad. My bad.
I didn't I didn't make it past kindergarten.
The funny thing is, it explains a lot with how you pronounce things. OK.
Go ahead. Anyways, this is going to be a great podcast. Yeah.
So anyways, Thanksgiving time.
We'll kind of lead with that.
So, you know, Thanksgiving passed on Thursday.
It's currently Saturday.
And how was your how's your Thanksgiving?
It was good. Live one field away.
People on camera can see this, I'm pointing towards the camera.
Kind of. I went over there about a mile.
Not even Nathan Turkey was nice. Nice.
Why am I knows always start itching?
That that's how your Thanksgiving was.
No, but I'm just you had an itchy nose on Thanksgiving.
I know, but I was sick for a good portion of it.
Oh, true. I forget about that.
Layton had the Kobe. I had the covid.
Oh, can we say that now?
Well, I don't know.
That's why I said that was something that could get you in trouble with saying covid.
People used to not say that on YouTube and stuff.
Are you serious? Yeah. Wow.
Well, you got to beep it, I guess.
I'm not beeping. We'll just pretend it's fine.
Everything is going to be a pain. Continuing anyways.
So how am I Thanksgiving?
Yes, that's the good my family actually came up to our house for once.
Usually we have to go to them.
That's always fun.
Like every year that I can think of that I've every year that I've been alive.
I'm pretty sure it's never been held at our house.
I think it's only been held at our house one year.
And but I wasn't even alive for it.
So it doesn't count. But it was good.
They came to our house, not all the family, but most of the family and good food.
My mom made most of the food. Nice.
Test of her cooking skills.
And she passed, I must say.
Hosting is always really nice.
I love hosting the podcast.
Our house, it's really fun. It's very convenient.
Having people over.
It is convenient for those.
It always besides preparation.
I mean, your place is the best place to do it to Alex.
It's a good room. Layton's got a bit of a drive, but he's got a Tesla so he can make it.
He drives him. Wow.
And then your car drives itself.
Not all the time. Wow.
Whenever you click the button.
Yeah. So and then on top of that, I'm like 30 minutes away.
So it's not too bad to drive for me compared to Layton's house, which is like an hour and a half.
Yeah, it's an hour here for me.
Yeah. So you're you're pretty, pretty central.
Central.
My Thanksgiving. It was pretty good.
We we didn't have turkey because the turkey did not thaw in time.
Because the Kroger freezers are cracked out of their minds.
And our fridge is not like a warm water or something.
No, no, nothing like that.
My mom. What did you eat?
I asked my mom. We so we made nothing.
Double eggs, green bean casserole and you just had no main course.
And a few other things that were kind of just sides.
Does he look like that's what we do for Christmas.
The sides are honestly some of the best part.
Yeah, man. That's what I'm saying.
And we had this like pudding dessert and so good.
Nice. And it has like
it's like a pecan crumble crest on the bottom.
And it's a layer of cool whip and then chocolate pudding
and then another layer of cool whip on top.
Try to imagine that it's really nice.
And yeah, it's just really good.
And it's like frigid cold because you put it in the fridge and everything.
I love it. My grandma made it makes it.
And that was like my dad's favorite dessert ever for a long time.
My grandma was supposed to come this Thanksgiving, but she got sick.
So she didn't make it.
And originally, before all of the Thanksgiving stuff happened,
my family was going to go to New Mexico
and I was going to stay home with my brother.
And then they were like, we're not going.
Why were you going to stay home?
This is because I didn't feel like it.
You didn't want to go to New Mexico.
I didn't want to go to New Mexico because there was no guarantee
there's going to be snow.
And the only Mexico is still cool.
The only reason I wanted to go to New Mexico
was if there was going to be snow so that I could do that.
That'd be fun. Yeah.
Snowboarding of any kind.
I would have gone anyway. Still.
I. Yeah. Yeah, true.
But at the same time, if I was going to get pictures of stuff like that,
like New Mexico, I feel like I want a better camera
because my current camera just made your mother camera.
I used to use my mom's old D 60 10 years old.
I have to edit a lot to make my photos look clear and good.
Like it's a testament to my editing skills more than my photography skills.
So say, you know, say what you will.
But I didn't really have much of a interest in it.
So yeah, otherwise, the Thanksgiving was good.
It's a good food. Had a lot of fun.
Oh, one thing is I worked the night before Thanksgiving.
So on Wednesday night, I worked significantly later than I usually do.
Normally I'm off by four thirty.
I didn't get off to like seven.
Oh, yeah. We were trying to plan around the podcast.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
That was that day.
It sucked because I had to rerun IW and for anybody that doesn't know what that is,
it just stands for inside wire.
And so it's the wire that's on like in a house.
So yeah, that's the fiber optic wire that we use.
And normally I don't have to rerun it at all that day.
Like most days, I don't have to rerun it at all.
Well, that day I had to run it like four times.
Gotcha. And literally right as you text me, like if I wouldn't have had to rerun
that wire on that particular house, I probably would have been able to do that podcast
that night. But because like literally right as I got there was art.
I think it was like four o'clock or four thirty when I pulled up to that house
and I figured it might be that.
And then it was that. And I was like, so yeah.
Man, that was quite the bummer that we couldn't record sooner.
Yes, it is Saturday, Saturday night.
I'm making a word evening.
We'll figure it out.
Wow. It's got to be done every time.
I can't not do the.
Yeah, I'm just I'm just going to stop reacting to it.
Yeah, that's the thing.
You give me the attention.
I'm going to keep doing it.
So shame, I'm here.
Yeah. So anyways, Black Friday.
Do we do do you guys do anything?
Oh, no. Oh, my.
Maybe there's a good Amazon deal.
OK, besides the online stuff, because online stuff, they always have Black Friday deals.
I'm talking like before they started even talking like in person stuff.
Yeah, I went into a store and bought some. Really?
Yeah, I mean, I told Alex about the rush stuff.
No, not like get up at five a.m.
Could have died, man. Yeah.
My family knows a person that got like trampled.
Good for them. And like had to go to the hospital and had like a boot print on her chest.
Good for them. It was crazy.
Could have been you.
Anyways, where did you go for the Black Friday?
Best Buy. Yes.
What did you get?
A new screen.
A new screen. A monitor.
OK, I was about to say, like, but it's not a monitor.
It's a TV.
Oh, it's a TV that you mounted.
You replaced your two monitors with a TV.
It's a 42 inch, I think.
I think it's 42. It's a Layton.
And it's it's a LGC3 OLED.
What are you doing with your old monitors?
One of them is going Gavin and the other one that I'm selling.
So how much? I don't know yet.
That's a good question.
This question for after I'm interested. Yeah.
Follow up question. Discounts.
Do you have on what do I have honey?
Do I get any kind of discount?
No. OK.
What? It's worth a try.
I'm not a you'd have in order for you to use honey.
You have to get it in the shopping cart.
All right. If you can get it in a shopping cart, maybe.
If I bring a shopping cart to your house, I swear to you, I will.
Yeah. How much how much how much of a discount do I get
if I bring a shopping cart to your house?
Fifteen percent.
Fifteen percent to bring an entire shopping cart.
What do you want me to do? Fifty.
No. Black Friday, baby.
Cyber Monday. I work at the grocery store.
And well, actually, no, you don't have your car now.
You actually have a SUV.
I was going to say, I have a I have a Jeep.
I have a big trunk.
I can actually put a shopping cart in there.
We should. You know, you should get together.
I will steal a shopping cart for me.
Oh, no, but I did mount that TV as well.
That was the TV that was already in our living room.
And my dad was like, I'm getting old and my neck hurts.
I don't want to look up because it was high on our.
You know, yeah, it was really high.
I was like up near the ceiling. Yeah.
And so my mom was like,
she's been saying for years now that we need to, you know,
get it down ever since we put it up that high.
And my dad finally pulled the trigger on it.
So he went and bought a mount from Best Buy.
That's why. So he bought a mount. I bought a TV.
And then I helped him.
Yeah. And then I helped him since I cut holes in walls all the time.
Run wires all the time.
I was the one that did all that, except for he messed it up.
He messed a lot of it up.
So I was I know I didn't I didn't mess this up.
So I'm not helping. No, he messed it up.
My mom will agree.
She was witness to it.
Yes. He messed stuff up and I had to fix some of it.
So but it was OK because it looks it looks good now.
So I mean, you all saw the pictures.
In fact, I can put the we can pick the pictures up.
I will.
Layton's very proud of his TV.
Mending skills.
Yes, I was. Boom, boom.
Image here, image here.
Maybe I'll just.
I'm going to cut this straight out of the audio. Sweet.
Anyways, I went to work.
I work on Black Friday.
You like to work Black Friday.
Well, I don't like to, but I did.
But it's mandatory for a lot of different places.
The thing is, though, I work at a grocery store.
It was the quietest day I have ever seen.
Oh, yeah. As a curbside.
Oh, my God.
I went in the store.
I was, you know, in the curbside right through dead.
It was so nice.
Have the whole place to yourself.
It was paid while doing it.
It was quieter than Kroger.
Wow. Crazy.
H.E.B. is better in every way.
Yeah, I was like, is that a dig?
I was like, I'm willing to back it up.
Yeah, someone who shops at Kroger.
I don't we don't shop at Kroger.
There's not one. You get a brook.
Yeah. Yeah.
We got like brooksters or like Albertsons or one of those lesser known ones.
Yeah, we don't ever go to Albertsons most of the time.
We only go to brookshires and H.E.B.
And we're getting well, we are getting an H.E.B.
Whoo.
Cup Cup Cup. Yeah.
It feels like H.E.B.
is only making locations and like smaller areas.
Well, all smaller areas.
But you know what I mean? Like
one of the big areas in North Texas that has H.E.B.
like compared to where I live.
I don't have an H.E.B.
And I'm in like soon.
Yeah. But like in y'all's areas, which aren't as like
widely known and populated.
You guys have H.E.B.
And they're so much better.
Why bringing H.E.B.
one day bringing H.E.B. to my place.
L. Any of the people in my store listening to this,
you know, magically perhaps maybe, you know, talk to someone over it.
You know, HR or whatever, you know, hey, you know, hey, hey, we
Alex, Alex, we have a promotion.
We have a spot for an H.E.B.
Yeah, that's the one.
Hey, you know, that's how that's how my photos got used and everything.
Did we talk about that?
No, we haven't talked about that.
Big news.
So I took photos at the discount I worked at and
while while I was taking photos, my boss was like, hey,
I'm going to send these a corporate for you so that we can see if
there's any job opportunities there for photography and
also just to, you know, see what happens.
And this all happened like all of this sparked from the first episode
of the podcast where I mentioned that I wanted to do photography.
Did he watch the podcast?
Corporate, not my manager, but one of my other higher ups.
And he was talking to me on the phone about it after he listened to it.
And they both he had amazing things to say about the podcast as well.
But he was like, yeah, dude, there's so many opportunities.
A discount is like a great place to get to do that kind of stuff.
Anyways, so he sent him the corporate and corporate responded and was like,
hey, these photos are awesome.
Can we use them at a slideshow at the company party in January?
So they were like, ask the guy that took them if he's cool with that.
And my manager turned to me and he was like, are you cool with it?
And I was like, you better believe I'm more than cool with it.
And so I, uh, my photos are being used at the corporate party in January.
And he's so proud of it.
I'm so proud that it's on his screensaver on his phone now.
Actually, those photos just make for awesome wallpaper.
They're nice photos.
They, those are some of the best photos I've ever taken.
He also got a new phone.
I did get a new phone, iPhone 15 Pro.
It fell out of my pocket because I'm very high pants, but I got it.
And it's amazing.
And the screen is fantastic.
And I could go on for hours, not actually welcome to a modern era.
It's a lot better coming from my 11.
Yeah, I bet.
It's not Christmas yet, but it sure feels like it.
Yeah, wrong holiday.
We're focused on a Thanksgiving and fall right now.
So random side note, you were talking about company parties.
Mine is actually next week.
Oh, nice Friday.
So cool.
It'll be interesting because I might have some stories from there to tell.
Yeah.
I, uh, you always have wacky stories.
I certainly won't go to my company party because it's full time.
Yeah.
So thing really?
Yeah.
But that's because they rent like a whole hotel and everything like that.
And like for like a weekend, like a full weekend, like Friday to Sunday,
they like run a complete full hotel for all the employees or maybe it's a whole
floor, I don't know, but then they, they just let them go wild and hang out.
Just a lock in for a bunch of discount employees.
It's, it's crazy though.
You and all your tire changing buddies running around on the vending machine.
It's probably a good idea that they only have full timers doing that, but at the
same time, most of the full timers that work at discount are just as childish as
the part timers.
Oh yeah.
I can imagine.
Today was a testament to that.
It was busy and we were still freaking crackheads the whole time.
All my coworkers are just children.
Yeah.
Children's.
Adults are children.
It's that simple.
Except for the old ones.
Then they're adults.
I wonder at what point you go from being like a child to an adult.
Well, I can tell you it's not 30 because most of my coworkers are in their 30s and
it's still that way.
I was going to say scientifically 25.
That's when like that, whatever part of your brain develops, but clearly that's not
true with a lot of people.
Maybe it's the times.
That's when your body and brain are fully mature.
It's not when your soul is mature.
That's when your prefrontal cortex develops.
That's what it is.
Prefrontal cortex.
I just feel like I need to specify my coworkers are great.
They're awesome.
They're all, we're all children.
It's fine.
Everybody's got a bit of a character.
We're all children.
Stop trying to hold my hand back there.
I'm trying to hold your hand.
For all the audio listeners, Leighton and I are holding hands behind Alex.
How sweet.
Yeah.
Her behind Alex is back.
I just need some-
Canoodling.
I just need some love, dude.
Search for it elsewhere, Pat.
Says the guy who said he liked physical affection to me the other day.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Way to out me.
I want to out you.
Wait a second.
Sorry.
I just thought it'd be fun to react that way to it.
Anyways, so when it comes to fall, this personally fall season, fall and winter season are my
two favorite seasons ever.
I agree.
There's something about fall.
It smells like a campfire outside all the time.
Do you guys know why?
Because I don't and it's-
Probably because there's a lot of people with fires.
What?
I don't know.
Like in the neighborhood I live in, no one is making fires.
You sure?
At any point.
Well, every now and then rarely, but still.
I don't know about what it is.
It just constantly smells smoky outside.
It's amazing.
So I'll probably get corrected on this by somebody, but I was about to say I'm going
to get kind of scientific.
Not really.
I'm not a scientist or anything, but I'm going to get scientific and sound like the nerd
here.
But I believe because cool air sinks and as it cools down outside in the fall and winter,
so it brings all that cold air that has the smoke in it down lower to the ground where
we can smell it or something.
I'm probably going to get corrected on that though.
I don't know.
I think cold air is more dense.
It is dense.
I know cold air sinks.
I don't know if that's why it smells like smoke.
I'm sure because it's dense it catches the smoke.
Maybe.
And that kind of stuff.
I don't know.
It's just a theory.
A game theory.
No, it's a science theory.
So anyway, oh, it's raining outside.
What is it?
That's an-
It is.
We all did the same thing.
It sounds nice.
That's another thing that comes with fall, at least like this fall.
It's been very rainy.
I love rain.
I love it.
The rain is amazing.
Rain and fall is, oh yeah.
Not so much-
Honestly, you just come off the trees and everything and it's cool outside and it's
raining and you get to wear your jackets.
I like it.
Hold on.
For my job.
Oh yeah, you're on a roof.
What?
No, I'm not usually on a roof.
Well, you're outside or in the attic I guess.
No, I'm not on a roof.
I like it either raining and not cold or cold and not raining.
If it's both, it's miserable.
I'm sorry.
Oh yeah, then it's freezing.
Yeah.
Well, you've got no meat on your bones, you little chicken over there.
You're not much of a chicken bread.
You're not a chunker like Jake.
Yeah, you're not a chicken that's made for eating.
You're a chicken that's just chicken.
What is this dig?
I'm a chicken that's made-
Did Jake try?
I got meat on my bones and I am warm.
I didn't try.
I did.
I'm honestly disappointed that could have been so much better.
It could have been.
Well, it could have, but it wasn't.
Speaking of the rain, we got our new roof.
It actually is decking because our old roof was put on kind of air.
Yeah, it's quiet now too.
Nice.
We're not getting interrupted in this room when it rains.
Is it raining right now?
Yeah.
I don't know.
It sounds like it.
I think it is.
There's a little E symbol on it.
We should pull up the radar or something.
We should pull up a weather app.
We should do a weather.
Alex is probably better.
Alex, the current weather guy, is not doing anything about the weather.
Hurricane force winds.
I found that clip the other day.
Oh my gosh, that video is gold.
I want to use it.
I want to make a montage a couple months down the line when we get more videos together,
and that clip is going in there.
That is so good.
We can throw that up on the video.
Yeah, one day the YouTube will see that video.
That is one of my favorite videos.
I can't believe how much you guys like that.
Oh, it was so funny.
On the way to see stars the other night, Alex and I referenced it a few times.
Really?
I remember, did we?
It's one of those, it's become an inside joke.
It has.
That's the thing about it.
Well, now it's not inside.
Yeah, true.
We shared it.
No one else gets it, though.
When it comes to fall and stuff like that, well, we didn't even talk about Halloween
because we kind of started this after Halloween.
Man, honestly, Halloween didn't really feel like fall this year because, like in Texas,
it was like 90 degrees or something.
It was still really hot.
It was awful.
That's just before it started to get cool.
Halloween does usually come with the fall season, though.
Yeah, it's a fall holiday.
We'll take a few steps back towards Halloween.
I did nothing.
What's...
I'm just putting it out there.
Oh, for Halloween.
I don't think any of us really did much for Halloween.
Hey, chili.
Am I grandmas again?
I answered the door to like four little kids and then gave them half of our candy.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
Those are some lucky kids.
Yeah, they were.
Wasn't it?
That wasn't what I was going to ask.
I was going to say that in the time, in fall time, what is stuff that you usually commonly
find yourself doing?
What do you associate fall with?
I have my set fall songs I listen to whenever I'm driving to school or I'm walking around
school or just anything.
Gotcha.
It just fits the vibes.
It's always nice.
A flannel, yeah.
I could talk about fall apparel for four episodes.
I'm sure.
We love fashion.
No, I'm not talking fashion.
I'm talking functionality.
I love my jeans.
Jeans are always really nice to wear again.
My flannels, my coats.
Hoodie.
My hoodies.
Oh my God, my hoodies.
Jake and I get into the same clothes.
Oh yeah, do you, Paul?
Your beanies.
Oh, my beanies.
You're a beanie guy.
I'm starting to wear beanies more.
And part of the reason I didn't was because I felt like I looked stupid with my curly
hair coming out of my eye.
I think you look good, man.
I think it looks good.
But then I was like, you know what?
Screw this.
And people don't like it and people don't like it.
It doesn't matter.
You know, it's something.
Disgusting.
What I like.
Yeah.
Disgusting.
It wasn't me.
Well, it was F in one-ee-us.
That video is so good.
But yeah, I don't know.
Fall apparel is something I could talk about for hours.
I just, literally this.
Yeah.
You're a sweatpants guy.
I've come to sweatpants a little more this year.
We're all wearing them right now, man.
We're all wearing sweatpants now.
It's because I always wear jeans, like all year round, no matter what for my work.
I was about to say, you got to wear pants for work.
Yep.
And it's always jeans because they, I mean, I can wear cargo pants and stuff, too.
But usually.
Oh, I'm a cargo pants guy.
Usually I don't want to.
Well, it's coming down outside.
Is it?
Anyways.
Oh, yeah, it is.
Jeans are something I, like literally, I can last.
I'm wearing a blouse and jeans.
I sit crisscross in my chair at my desk in jeans and I am comfy.
Depends on the jeans.
I, when I was in like middle school and stuff, I would wear jeans through summer in the Texas
heat.
I would wear jeans through summer.
It's not that bad.
It well, depends what you're gonna think of it.
You got to think about how I am with heat.
I know.
Because like even right now wearing this beanie, especially my face is like hot.
You're clammy.
My arms feel hot.
It's not clammy.
It's just that just hot and warm.
Like temperature-wise.
Thermal mass.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm thermal, all right.
Well, he's also mass.
So.
Oh, yeah.
I'm both.
I am a thermal mass.
He's a thermal mass.
That's what I am.
Thermodynamics do not apply to me because it's not dynamic.
It hits me like a truck.
All the physics majors are coming after you.
I was wondering where you were going with that.
I don't know.
It was just like dynamic.
I mean, I think in my mind I thought like, you know, like a thin line, like doing little
squiggles through the air and stuff.
And then I was like, that's dynamic.
So the opposite of dynamic is a brick wall.
It's a truck.
It's a brick flying at your head.
That's what I would think.
You know, that's what that's the connection I made.
Anyways, back to the topic of fall apparel.
Layden, other than sweatpants, do you usually, is it like a coat or something?
You wear a hoodie.
Yeah, actually.
You hoodie guy?
Are you more of a.
I do like hoodies.
I don't have.
I do have a lot of zip ups.
But like that over there, that's a coat though.
But I wear that coat all the time when I'm working and just outside of work too.
Because it's so nice.
It was an expensive coat too.
Super expensive.
It's got that, it's got that Gore-Tec, I think or something.
I think I know what it's talking about.
Yeah, Gore-Tec.
Yeah, that's just nice.
It's very nice and very expensive.
Is it not Gore-Tecs or is it Tec?
I don't know.
I think it's Tec.
I thought it was Tec.
I think it's Tec.
I don't know.
It's on the tag.
I don't know if I've read it or not.
I don't know if you've read it or not.
I don't know if you've read it.
Either way.
I don't have many hoodies right now.
I grew out of them and I haven't bought any more.
But I am a hoodie person.
I do like them.
I just haven't bothered to go get more.
Because I wear the same thing all the time.
Each day of work.
Clothes are expensive.
Yeah.
I don't want to spend the money on them.
At least from my point of view they're pretty nice.
No, they're expensive.
For like $60 for a plain hoodie.
For a hoodie, that's a lot.
It was a nice jacket.
I can see that being a bit more reasonable.
if I could get a nice Levi's brand denim jacket with fleece on the inside for 60 bucks
I would have that thing in a heartbeat
that thing would be off the shelf on my shoulders and I would be checking out in it
actually I just realized I just got a down jacket for 60 bucks
like a nice 800 filled out
it's used and stuff but like used once or something
it looks pretty nice
60 bucks
oh I thought he said 800 bucks
you could probably get one for that much but no I'm not doing that
I like my camping gear but not that much
yeah I guess other than jackets Alex are you
I obviously you're a flannel guy through and through
oh yeah jeans we've already kind of talked about jeans and sweatpants and stuff
yeah I guess you've got you've definitely got the like camping type stuff
I tend to look like a camper whenever I wear fall clothes
hey it gets cool outside and then that's that's where it's best to camp too
man I'm wearing REI
yeah his underwear is flannel a lot every time I've seen it
I was about to say I didn't know that
yeah Layton's rooting for you
I didn't know my jeans were flannel
no dude it's because when we've had you know sleepovers in the past and stuff I've seen them
my underwear has never actually been flannel
really it's the what what
it's like target hangers or
no no no like um
you guys wear cloth
I don't know
cloth underwear
what do you mean
like like cloth under like like like cotton
I don't know what the not not like
as opposed to plastic or
no but like the there's like the stretchy like athletic material
and then there's like cloth like
like boxers kind of you mean
kind of like boxer fabric
the probably not real cloth
not real cloth
there's like this material like Layton's this this types up and then there's this type stuff
well not this but like more this kind
like there's there's fruit of the loom
yeah and then there's like under armor you know what I'm talking about
yeah I think so
like those two type of materials
are you more of a
haint like a stretch here I don't know softer
or are you more of a like under armor
I don't want to I don't know what I'm wearing right now
so I don't know maybe that's just me
but like I I can't do the like cotton stuff
I don't think I know what you're talking about
I don't know if I've ever I like nylon or something
yeah it's a little too thick and it's
under bridge laces polyester that's the one I'm thinking of I think
maybe maybe
like or dislike
I should look at my own tag
I'm wearing this one yeah
it turns around everyone check your underwear
what is it now
what brand we need to know
just like a five minute stretch in the video of all of us struggling
to look at the tag
anyways where were we going before we got on the topic of all clothing
I was so focused on
okay so I love derailing jake it's so
I can't dude you put me on something else and I'm like stuck on it
whoa what
continuing
anyways yeah I guess with like fall times the best time to camp and stuff like that
so you really get the like
you really get out the long sleeve stuff
and that's really what's associated with campaign stuff
yeah I'm I'm getting more into coats and stuff
but that part of that is because I've got recently
I or not recently like last year I got a jacket from my dad
because the guys at the fire station that he
his dad's a firefighter
my dad's a firefighter
so talk about the firefighter food
oh my god I can't
yeah you went to the fire station
while we were talking about thanksgiving stuff
you're welcome
the day before thanksgiving we went to lunch
at the fire station
yeah that's where it was
let me tell let me tell all the listeners out here
let me get real close to the mic and let me be real serious for a minute
firefighters can cook
firefighters they know the kitchen well
and that so the firefighter the fire station that we
my dad has always been at the one that we like grew up in
has just been recently remodeled
and I could talk about that in another video
but it's it's cool
and they have a really nice kitchen
they've always had nice kitchen kitchens and fire stations though
and that's because like I just said
all firefighters can magically cook somehow
they go to live there I mean
I know and that's the thing
yeah
apparently like they had a massive crawfish boil
at one point before the remodel
and my dad sent me a picture
it spanned the entire table filled with crawfish
in the pot was like the size of me and Alex standing next to each other
it was insane
and I was I you get me on technology bro
I'm gonna for all the audio listeners
the video died
Alex's camera ran out of battery
oh it's back so back to the topic that we were talking about before the
camera died so
oh let's let Layton let's let Layton get off
we're looking at specs again
okay anyways you guys are
we're I'm gonna cut this out
because this is not necessary
we can talk about this after off the podcast
sorry Alex we can look at the specs later
don't worry I'm still talking
oh my god just keep going I'll interact
okay anyways so firefighters can cook like crazy well
and they've always had nice kitchens
and like Alex says you know because they live there
but the crawfish boil that my dad sent me a picture of
I was like oh my gosh I'm salivating so hard
and I'm crying because I am not there
because no but that was right around the time when we went to go get Cajun
and I was craving
I was craving crawfish
and okay you guys are looking at color specs
I'm listening
yeah but there was no response whatsoever where usually you guys were
anyways so I'm not gonna worry about it too much
so we went to Thanksgiving lunch
and I found out not only do they do hot wing Fridays
as a tradition at the firehouse
but they also do Sunday brunch
and I was like oh sounds very white woman of you guys today
but anyways
pumpkin spice latte
Victorian yeah all the all the firefighters
there's pumpkin spice
pumpkin spice latte
they're all sitting around the table
you know girly pop and everything
poppin what
girly pop that's what I said
oh I thought you said poppin everything
no I said pop and whatever
but yeah they just they just cook super well
and there was like this you know amazing ham
with like a strawberry glaze and everything
and then there were like mashed potatoes covered in cheese and bacon
and then there was pies and all sorts of other stuff
someone made like three different dips and like salsas
and it was just
it sounds like everything was so good
and the rolls the rolls were so good dude
the rolls were like airy and fluffy
and they were they were you didn't even see the butter on them
but they had the buttery taste
and I was just like oh my god
and then someone made ribs
someone made ribs
and I was I was like dude
those guys are crazy
that sounds like me talking about technology
how enthusiastic he just got
maybe jake secretly like a foodie man
I'm always a foodie
we all love ribs man
you guys have all known this
well I mean what texan doesn't love ribs
oh yeah that's a bit well of course yeah
you can't you can't
I swear you could you could gather like a hundred texans in a room
everybody likes barbecue
oh yeah
Texas barbecue
some people some people I know are kind of iffy about it
they just want a different kind of barbecue
my my mom for instance like if you gave her like beef ribs
she wouldn't be super happy about it
but she she likes more Tennessee style barbecue baby back ribs
she'll do that
maybe it's just a different kind of maybe it's the Hawaiian barbecue
I only say that because there's a place across the street
not as authentic
that's kind of work out
oh really
yeah it's like Hawaiian it's Hawaiian barbecue
and I don't know what it is
but I was like what you just slap a pineapple ring on a brisket
or something like what what's the deal
pineapple on pizza nah pineapple on brisket
covered in barbecue sauce
yeehaw
there you go yes sir
but um
got that nine on my side
yeah but um yeah fire station cooking is top tier
it is so good and I could I could talk about the meals we've had there
Thanksgiving is always good there
I'd trust me if I could I would
and part of that was also that like you know
it was the middle of the week you were working
and I didn't Alex was well you weren't at school
but I didn't know if you were busy or not and part of that was also I got off work
I showered and we were leaving
oh actually something Kylie and Kylie
Kylie my neighbor and I did that day
oh we went and got Thai food
dude molly molly place we'll have to go
Thai food's always good
oh yeah oh my gosh head pad Thai and it was just oh so good
we need to go out to dinner soon again
we do man we're we're good for something yummy
we need to go get we need to go get ramen again or something
we do
there's a place I can't say the location
but uh there's a place that I haven't
place we went to our new place
a new place oh yeah you told me about that yeah
I don't know but it's fine
it's awesome Jay early it's near where I am
oh okay so it's uh it's a pretty good I've heard good stuff about it
we love eating dinner together
we all we love we love we love going out
we love spoiling ourselves
Alex doesn't look like it he looks like he's been starved in a den
you know in a basement for three years I secretly starved myself so I can stuff
myself whenever we go out to eat
that would explain how you eat so much
dude it's it's impressive how much you can eat sometimes though
like we went to go get ramen last time
really high metabolism
I had like just finished my ramen and I was like oh my god bro this is so filling
and Alex was like
oh yum
this was delicious like I can't I can't wait to get this again
like how are you thinking of food right now I'm about to explode
trying a bit of yours
those takoyaki balls that we got the squid balls
oh my those were really good
they were just like the chips you had
those chips were actually pretty accurate
those chips were yeah the like puff balls
yeah those were really good
Layden you definitely need to come with us to that place
cool stuff
let's go
y'all viewers man you gotta try some like good food
like go out somewhere you've never been before
holy moly dude
that's so broad
all the people
look at what we do
you should go eat
that's it
dude let's go eat food
well like it's not like oh you should go try
you know specifically this because we go everywhere man
yeah we went to Cajun last time I said that earlier
oh my god that Cajun was so good
I just brought up Pad Thai
I mean we're pretty broad here too
go to your pantry and get some good food
get you some cheeses
yeah go get a pop tart
eat yourself some good food
when I say that I mean get some higher quality than a pop tart
you know he means go to a five star Michelin restaurant
we only eat five star
you only eat from Gordon Ramsay's kitchen or you don't eat
that's it
I'd starve if I didn't have four stars
why do you think we're podcasting
yeah we make no money from this
yeah I thought you were gonna say we make no money
and then I was gonna be like
well I don't
take an eye down
I make money I just spend it too
I just spend it to make it seem like I don't make any
I was talking with Layden earlier
he actually spends a lot of his too
yeah
Layden was showing me his bank account after the podcast stuff
I was like dude I thought you made enough
I actually was kind of surprised
I was like I thought you made enough to like support this
ten times as much
yeah I mean I do
well you do
he's made some big purchases
then I realized just how much you actually buy
and how expensive those things are
and I'm like oh yeah that explains it
yeah I think this is a good point to wrap it up
so I guess we'll just call it here
yeah thanks for watching or listening y'all
thanks for thanks for spending the time hearing us talk about whatever we want to talk about
you know thanksgiving and fall
it's always good to celebrate the holidays with friends
even if it is a little bit late
yeah not that late
but uh you know it's always fun getting together with you guys
and celebrating that kind of stuff
I can't wait for Christmas when we get together that week
fun episode
that'll be a fun one because then we can bring something
and we can be like
show and tell
show and tell look I got my new Transformers toy
as long as mine's not as big as a tv
yeah true
you can't really ram a tesla through the wall either
gosh I got self-driving again
another month
yeah I was hoping that this episode would kind of encompass that feeling of like
just kind of taking a step back from the main stuff
and just relaxing and like having fun
so what our last two episodes have been
I don't know but maybe that's just me
we could talk about a more heavy topic next time
we'll figure it out
yeah I was gonna say that
you gotta be quicker too
quicker on the draw
I'm gonna interrupt both of you next time
you should
thanks for listening though
yeah
we'll see y'all later
have a great holidays
see you
