GCP: Sunday Hangout – Pumpkin Spice, Gang Life, & Close Calls

Fall has landed, and the Grit City crew jumps straight into everything from pumpkin spice overload to the chaos of Louisiana weather. Mike shares about the new dispensary lines in Minnesota, Brogan covers spooky Halloween vibes in Louisiana, and Jeff opens up about growing up in Yakima, run-ins with gangs, and some terrifying close calls. Along the way, there’s talk of the infamous Angola Prison Rodeo, Roswell alien tourism, bottomless lakes, and bad Mexican food stories that devolve into queso vs. salsa debates. Add in Jeff’s homemade hot sauce adventures, near-miss bar fights, and plenty of tangents — it’s a classic Sunday Hangout full of laughs, scares, and Tacoma grit. ⏱️ Timestamped Highlight Guide 00:00 – 03:00 – Opening chaos, “is this thing on?” and crew intros 03:00 – 08:00 – Minnesota fall colors, apple orchards & the first dispensary line 🌿 08:00 – 15:00 – Pumpkin spice season: PSLs, PSSs, and hot milk debates 🎃☕ 15:00 – 22:00 – Louisiana Halloween vibes, wild weather, hailstorms & trash tornadoes 🌪️ 22:00 – 30:00 – Angola Prison Rodeo & disturbing history of prison events 🤠 30:00 – 38:00 – Conspiracies: comets, asteroids, Roswell UFOs, and bottomless lakes 👽 38:00 – 45:00 – Weird food tales: Margaritas without margaritas, Minnesota queso vs. salsa 🌮 45:00 – 55:00 – Jeff’s hot sauce experiments & fermented pepper talk 🌶️ 55:00 – 1:05:00 – Growing up in Yakima, bilingual classrooms & identity stories 1:05:00 – 1:20:00 – Jeff’s gang encounters, Portland Bloods, and close calls with violence 🔫 1:20:00 – End – Wrapping up with laughs, survival stories & reflections on choices
