  • Summary

  • In this podcast episode, the hosts discuss the history, culture, and traditions of Mardi Gras, a festival that originated in France in the Middle Ages. They talk about how Mardi Gras is celebrated in many parts of the world, but most famously in New Orleans, Louisiana. The hosts discuss the food and drinks associated with the festival, such as gumbo, jambalaya, and the Hurricane cocktail, and the fun traditions like throwing beads and wearing masks and costumes. However, they also highlight the problem of some people wearing costumes with the Confederate flag, which is viewed as a symbol of racism and white supremacy. The hosts emphasize the need to do better and show respect during the festival. The episode concludes by reminding listeners to embrace imperfection and take risks like children do.
