Well, you're in good company.

We stir the pot further with a passionate debate on the distinct flavors and aromas of coffee and cigars, and share how our senses have been altered post-COVID-19. Now, who doesn't love the sound of an ice cream truck? We're sharing our favorite treats and childhood toys, lamenting the decline of traditional playthings in favor of digital ones. We also touch on our recent adventures in Costa Rica and give you a sneak peek into our new merch line-up. And just for good measure, we discuss iconic Christmas films - both old and new - guaranteed to sweep you off your feet and wrap you in a cozy blanket of Yuletide nostalgia. So pull up a chair, grab your headphones, and prepare for a wild ride filled with laughter, shared memories, and the warm fuzzies.Follow us @DriftingOnArroyoTEEPUBLIC Merchandise StoreSubscribe at https://driftingonarroyo.buzzsprout.com/shareEmail us at DriftingOnArroyo@gmail.comHotline (323) 207-0012If interested in getting a Tesla please use referral code.https://www.tesla.com/referral/emiliano739087Thanks for Listening!

Can you remember the last time you camped out for a Black Friday sale? We sure can, and it fills us with nostalgia. As we reminisce about the good old days of Thanksgiving and Black Friday, we can't help but wonder how things have changed. From kids thronging the streets for Halloween to largely empty streets today, the transformation is stark. Though traditions seem to have changed in the big cities, are the small towns still holding onto their customs? We spill the beans on that while sharing our favorite Thanksgiving dishes and explaining why these holidays are now more about quality family time than anything else.What's more enjoyable than a warm Thanksgiving dinner? Probably hunting for holiday tools and gift ideas! We've got you covered as we put Ryobi, Milwaukee, and Rigid under the microscope. We share our favorite items from Christmas catalogs and reveal the quirkiest white elephant gifts we've come across. Time to jot down those gift ideas including lottery scratchers, whiskey stones, and molds for clear ice. And just when you thought you've had enough, we introduce the barefoot movement. We discuss the benefits of barefoot shoes and socks, as well as different methods of wearing them. Put your comfort before style and see how these can help with ankle and foot pain. As we wind down, we take a moment to reflect on the importance of Thanksgiving traditions and the need for safety in these trying times. Here's wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving, filled with gratitude and blessings. Let's remember to count and cherish the blessings we have, right now and always.Follow us @DriftingOnArroyoTEEPUBLIC Merchandise StoreSubscribe at https://driftingonarroyo.buzzsprout.com/shareEmail us at DriftingOnArroyo@gmail.comHotline (323) 207-0012If interested in getting a Tesla please use referral code.https://www.tesla.com/referral/emiliano739087Thanks for Listening!
