Release Date: December 17, 2025
Hosts: Jimmy & Larry
Episode Purpose:

Episode Overview

This week's Patreon-exclusive episode finds Jimmy and Larry getting "silly and around," fresh off a lively show with LA designer Josh Willis. The conversation quickly turns to the experience and etiquette of having an audience in the studio, the nuances of their daily outfits, the absurdity found in current styling trends, and the existential question: Is it cool or corny to wear a guest's brand when they come on the pod?

Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Joy (and Impact) of a Live Audience

• Audience Atmosphere (00:59–01:58):
  • Having a live, positive audience in the studio is celebrated, as it elevates the podcasting experience for the hosts.
  • Quote:
    • Larry: "When you have a willing engaged participant in the audience—of one even—that’s all you need. It really does level up." (01:50)

Personal Style Breakdown: Fit Checks

• Larry’s Fit (02:06–03:21):

  • Our Legacy Camion boots, Shiro socks, Haven jeans, Cortez tank, a cropped Connor McKnight cashmere sweater with a unique cycling-jersey inspired neckline.
  • Discussion on whether "quarter zip" is even an accurate term, and the confusion with other zipper styles.
  • Quote:
    • Larry: "I like a lot of things about Connor McKnight... but this sweater specifically. It's cropped. It's fucking incredible cashmere... I do not own anything or I've never seen anything that is like [it]." (02:40–03:07)

• On Tucking (03:21–03:59):

  • Jokes about Larry’s penchant for tucking literally every top, escalating to the absurd—tucking outerwear like parkas and puffers.
  • Quote:
    • Jimmy: "You're tucking every top... Tuck your outerwear... Tuck a fishtail parka. Tuck the puffer." (03:35–03:44)

• Runway Absurdities (03:44–03:59):

  • Larry calls out "runway" trends gone too far, like tucking large jackets or puffers—dismissing them as "crazy town" that deserve to stay on the runway, not in real life.

Editorializing Your Style – But Don’t Overdo It

• Styling Advice (04:08–04:11):
  • Jimmy encourages listeners: "You shouldn’t just wear your clothes. You should style your outfits, people. But let’s not go crazy here... Don’t tuck your puffer." (03:59–04:11)

Internet Fashion "Hacks" & Upcycling

• Viral Styling Trends Critique (04:11–05:19):

  • Larry brings up a viral video where a guy "upcycles" his flannel by buttoning it in unconventional ways.
  • Notes that the trend, borrowed from women’s styling (silky blouses), seems awkward when replicated by men with heavier fabrics like flannel.
  • Quote:
    • Larry: "Seeing like a guy do it with a flannel... it's a hack. I'm not saying it's necessarily a good one. It's definitely a different way." (04:50–05:07)

• Collective sentiment: It's not for grown men, and not something they endorse.

The "Met Tuck": Wearing the Guest’s Brand

• Dilemma (05:19–06:21):

  • Larry agonizes over whether wearing a piece by the guest’s brand (in this case, Second Layer by Josh Willis) is expected courtesy or corny, comparing it to wearing a band's shirt to their concert.
  • Larry feels it’s disrespectful not to wear something from the guest if he owns pieces, but wonders if it’s trying too hard.
  • Quote:
    • Larry: "If I don't wear anything, especially when I have so much... I'm like, that's disrespectful. For me to not do it... Is it corny? I don't know." (05:47–06:21)

• Jimmy’s Take:

  • "Hey man, wear whatever you want. Button however you want, bro. There are no rules here." (06:21–06:25)

Surviving the Cold: Practical Layering

• Weather & Wardrobe (06:25–06:53):
  • Chat about braving very cold New York days—Jimmy jokes about being desperate for Uniqlo Heattech, and the recurring image of "Jimmy and the tucked puffer all winter."
  • Title Riff: The phrase "Tuck the Puffa" emerges as an episode title.
  • Quote:
    • Jimmy: "It's not just Jimmy and the puffer. Jimmy and the tucked puffer all win... Tuck the puffer." (06:40–06:49)

Matching Fits With Guests: Too Much?

• Unintended Twins (06:53–07:36):
  • Jimmy mentions almost wearing the same mohair sweater as guest Josh—wondering if twin fits would have been "insane" or too much.
  • He recalls on another pod appearance, he accidentally wore a Husband’s Paris shirt when having Nicola Gabell on as a guest—realizing later that maybe it was a try-hard move.
  • Quote:
    • Jimmy: "I’m not gonna lie... I was wearing a Husband’s shirt that day. And I was like, oh, that's kind of whack." (07:18–07:37)

[Jimmy]

Welcome to the midweek boys only uncut bonus content for our best friends behind the Patreon paywall. This week we're getting silly and around. Is that what I say with Jimmy and Larry after. Yeah, a banger of a podcast show with one of the few LA based designers we would ever invite. Well, that's not true actually. That we knew was just going to be a incredible time. The homie Josh Willis with wifey Shawna in the cut. The cut in the audience. I got to say, having an audience bastard is. Well, having a positive audience is the best.

[Larry]

When people come through, when obvious you can imagine come through with publicists entourage.

[Jimmy]

They'Re just like doing emails and shit on the side.

[Larry]

They could not even remotely care less about the content being created in the stew. But when you have a willing engaged participant in the an audience of one even, that's all you need. It really does level up. I love looking over and seeing a beautiful chuckling face. Thank you, Shawna.

[Jimmy]

Whether that's Shawna or Chuck. Yeah, yeah, we love. We love an audience. All right, Lawrence, before I get into it, fit Chuck.

[Larry]

Okay. Wearing our legacy camions on the dogs. The socks are Shiro. The jeans are Haven from their in house line.

[Jimmy]

Oh, nice.

[Larry]

The beater is Cortez. The quarter zip sweater is Connor McKnight.

[Jimmy]

Is that a quarter zip?

[Larry]

So I don't but because everything's a.

[Jimmy]

Quarter zip, everything's a Quarter zip, right?

[Larry]

Because like, like, there's no. What's a half zip? A pull. Like a pullover anorak at that point. Like, you know, I don't know this. So this is an eighth zip. What is this? An eighth?

[Jimmy]

Yo, it's a quarter.

[Larry]

I like a lot of. I like a lot of things about Connor McKnight, not just because he's friend of the show and a wonderful human being and extremely talented designer, but this sweater specifically. It's cropped. It's fucking incredible cashmere. Feel that. 100% I believe. And then I like. This is not a mock neck. It's kind of like if a cycling jersey style, you know, neck and zipper had was made into a sweater.

[Jimmy]

It's.

[Larry]

It's super unique. I do not own anything or I've never seen anything that is like.

[Jimmy]

I like the kind of like the fisherman sweater. Bubble knit.

[Larry]

Yeah.

[Jimmy]

It's great pattern, which it's just a lot of mashed into one, but not in a way that's like too much or anything. Shout out, Connor.

[Larry]

Yeah. And because I'm all legs and have no torso, even though this is cropped for me, like hits. It hits like, it looks like it's like tucked in, but it's not tucked in. Cuz tucking in a sweater, which I have done before and been, I guess, justifiably clowned on four. Yeah.

[Jimmy]

You're tucking every top.

[Larry]

There's not. If you're.

[Jimmy]

Tuck your outerwear.

[Larry]

If tuck a fishtail parka.

[Jimmy]

Tuck the puffer.

[Larry]

I've seen that was a styling thing that I've definitely seen before. Like, crazy town. The kids keep it on the Runway. I don't want to see that shit.

[Jimmy]

Yeah. Oh, you like? Yeah.

[Commercial Narrator]

I don't.

[Larry]

No. I would never. I would never tuck a jacket.

[Jimmy]

There's some shit.

[Larry]

Tucking a jacket is crazy. But I've seen it.

[Jimmy]

Look, you should editorialize. You shouldn't just wear your clothes. You should style your outfits, people. Right? Let's. But let's not go crazy here. Yeah. Dick, dangle your belt.

[Larry]

Cool.

[Jimmy]

Awesome. Don't tuck your puffer.

[Larry]

I saw. Fuck you do it. Did you see motherfucker talk to puffer? Did you see the guy who's like, it's like going viral and like, I guess half the people are clowning and then half aren't. Like, how to upcycle? I mean, I don't know if this is a voice, but it's like how to upcycle your a flannel or shirt by just buttoning it different and it's all.

[Jimmy]

I don't know how to not even upcycle. How to just like style it.

[Larry]

No, that. That's the. What was weird to me is I believe he's like used the word upcycle wrong because it's like. But like. And it's funny because there is. That was a girly trend that I know because Jen and I have talked about it before and I think she's done it. It just does not having it done on like a silky blouse by with is one thing.

[Jimmy]

Let me do it.

[Larry]

Seeing like a guy do with a flannel. It was not. It's a hack. I'm not saying it's necessarily a good one. It's definitely a different way. It's like a. Yeah. Something like that. Yeah. Let's word. James is giving us a tutorial. Yeah.

[Jimmy]

It's like it's an intentional thing.

[Larry]

I mean basically like. Basically that.

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Larry]

You know. But yeah, totally. So don't do that.

[Jimmy]

No.

[Larry]

As a grown ass man. The leather jacket and this is the met tuck.

[Jimmy]

The leather.

[Larry]

No, this is the. For my fit check still. But the metaphorical wearing the bandy to the concert and I'd like to explore this bit with you but I wore my one of my favorite leathers from second layer. What is the so you kind of were like you're you know, whatever having a little fun at my expense where. Oh no, no, no, no, no.

[Commercial Narrator]

I'm.

[Jimmy]

Dude, I'm sensi Larry. No, no, no, no. Don't get your button blouse up all up in a twist.

[Larry]

No, no, no. You're misbut the reason I'm bringing that dressed to come pod with a designer who's a friend and one that I respect and I I love the clothes that they make I in my mind and I'm not and I'm not trying to project this is what you really what I'm thinking. I'm like if I don't wear anything especially when I have so much which we'll talk about because second layer makes up a large portion of both of our wardrobes. I'm like it's dis in my mind. I'm like that's disrespectful for for me to not do it. So I'm like I'm going to wear one piece. I don't know if I should maybe rethink that because like I think is it corny? I don't know.

[Jimmy]

Hey man, wear whatever you want. Button however you want, bro.

[Larry]

So what's the answer?

[Jimmy]

There are no rules here. I Don't know. I mean. Yeah. Was I thinking about when I was just like, all right, what's the fit I'm gonna wear on this like freezing brick ass day in early December? Which it sounds like it feels like it is going to be the coldest winter of all time.

[Larry]

That's what they're saying.

[Jimmy]

Uniqlo bang my line. I need some he tech expeditiously so it's not just Jimmy and the puffer. Jimmy and the tucked puffer all win.

[Larry]

Wait, is that the title?

[Jimmy]

Talk the puffer. Talk the puffer.

[Larry]

This talked a puffer.

[Jimmy]

Justin Tuck the puffer. I was gonna say. Yeah. So was it like when I was just put it like, think what I was gonna wear. It's like, all right, my second wear jeans. Yeah, for sure. I love my secondary jeans. Or the mohair sweater that Josh wore. The black version of that would have been insane if I had like, you know, we'd shown up wearing the same. And also, I'm not gonna lie.

[Larry]

In.

[Jimmy]

Putting together a written feature for that is hopefully popping on the Patreon soon. I was linking a bunch of past episodes and I saw just the COVID image of the YouTube video of when we had Nicola Gabel from husband's Paris on the podcast. I was wearing a husband's shirt that day.

[Commercial Narrator]

Oh.

[Jimmy]

And I was like, oh, that's kind of whack.
