I once had a road trip of three weeks (Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and a bit of Idaho), Yellowstone alone took us three nights sleeping in different parts of the park. We had to give up Mount Rushmore, it would mean many more miles and we had to take the plane back home in Denver, I had to be back to work.

      I don't remember this when being taught Texas history. Granted, I was taught Texas history from a history book likely made by Texans so maybe there is some revisionist history there? Are you referring to tensions that caused the Texas revolution? Because I think that had more to do with Mexico restricting immigration into Texas and generally President Santa Anna becoming more authoritarian over Texas. Idk, maybe that authority was mainly an issue of slavery and I never knew.

    I came to Texas before I was two. I lived through hurricane Carla, not on Galveston, but in Austin where it was still a hurricane. I have been to Galveston several times, not really for the beach, however. My sister and I rode horses down past the wall and on the beach when we were teens. Always looked romantic, but my horse was afraid of the water... and I didn't want to get the tack (the stuff you need to put on most horses to ride.)

    Former occupant of Houston, Texas here: Something of note- when the hurricane occurred, hundreds, if not thousands of people were enjoying a bright, sunny day on the beach. Because the technology was still evolving for hurricane radar in 1900, they had no idea a hurricane was hitting.
    I hate to say it, but due to how slow Texas is to acknowledge they need to make changes to survive the major climate events it's been hit by lately and the extreme pollution in the major cities (particularly Houston), I wish it wouldn't rebuild. People will always rebuild, look at Florida and Pompeii, etc. But by now, it just feels like a place where Mother Nature is trying to say, "DON'T STAY HERE."

    Upsetting mispronunciation when apologizing for the native language, you royally screwed up multiple other names

    BerNARDo, not Bernando....
    Lafitte: La-feet
    Maceo: May-See-Oh
    Balinese: B(AL)-lin-ease. Not bawl-en-ease. Please refer to ZZ-Top's "down at the balinese" for further information
    Jacinto: ha-seen-toe
    We've always called it ball-iv-er, but bow-live-are is more authentic so no harm there
    Fun facts: I know you didn't say it, but another reason Houston became the big city: The air conditioner was invented shortly after the storm. People moved to Galveston because the sea breeze was better than 50 miles inland on the swamp. Well after the hurricane people would rather sweat a couple years than be stuck on the island and face a storm. Then with the oil you mentioned and the AC being powered by that oil, Houston just went massive.
    The Maceo's family, one of the grandkids is Tilmann Fertitta, owner of the golden nugget and the Houston Rockets.

      And within Texas, there is the Houston/Galveston/Beaumont triangle, which is, essentially, the mudroom of Texas. As a born and bred native of this area for numerous generations on both sides of my family (5 and counting!), I know this for a literal and figurative fact. 😂

      @breadmoth6443 Nah, Houston has always been dirty, literally. I was shocked the first time I visited Dallas/Ft Worth as a kid and there wasn't trash everywhere. Houston feels so temporary. Always building, never finished. Beaumont is an overgrown small town, but, hey, horse pastures in the middle of the city. 10 points? Galveston is Galveston. Standard port town. I was in New Orleans a year after Katrina. That was the first time I understood people talking about the vitality of a city. It's just different.

    Good Content with agreat Host.
    As and Audio Podcast this Setup is great.
    Sadly the visual Setup is just terrible with out of Focus Backdrop and a lifeless presentation. This Host has a very low visual Presence while having a Voice and Cadence i could listen all Day to.
    Since this is a Interim Host i look forward to the Evolution of this Hosts presentation and Hail Simon for giving other Lifeforms the Chance to Host in order to combat the Allegations that Simon is running YT.
    Be healthy, and all hail the Beard.
