Word of The Day: Deleterious (adj) - causing harm or damage. Presented By: @3ALove On Monday, Feb. 16, the seemingly invincible state of Texas had one of its biggest strengths, its self-independence, show up as a major weakness. Thanks to having its own power grid system, the unprecedented ice storm completely incapacitated millions of Texans (and many citizens throughout the south). Without power and clean water, dozens of Texans suffered hypothermia, carbon monoxide poisoning, physical injuries, and even death in the days following. This episode was recorded during this statewide situation as a way to distract ourselves with fun conversation and bond through the very serious situation at hand (Overview in Intro). ------------ I'm officially in Astroworld (Houston) and guess what? Making friends as an adult is hard as F***! However, thanks to Al Gore's internet, I've come across a dope new friend "Moriah" that shall be referred to as Mo' The Stallion (2:19). During the power outage, Mo' came by to stay as her water and power were out at her spot so we figured we minus whale record for the pod, right? In this Open Space (4:43), we start by providing a succinct list of 10 spots to hit during your next trip to the city (check Reckommendations section below) discuss the differences in how racial identity impacts Black Houstonians compared to Black Chicagoans (18:40). As a Houston native, Mo' explains what the Houston Rodeo is (or would have been) like this year along with the differences between NOLA crawfish and Houston crawfish boils (21:33). Then, we dive into some of the reasons who I chose to come, and why Mo' has chosen to stay in H-Town so long. Later, we discuss the pandora what that means for summertime activities--comparing Chicago's scene to Houston. We close out by discussing the experience of virtual counseling sessions (36:05) and flood zones (pro-tip if you're thinking about moving here).
