Lourdes and Tello do a rare podcast together in front of a live audience (their relatives). Unfortunately the visit was to mourn the passing of their Aunt Marcela. Tello was also in town to check on his mother and the rest of the family in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. We also have special guests from other dysfunctional family members. The love is strong in this family. http://setxfoodbank.org/http://www.houstonfoodbank.org/thecajunarmy.com/https://teamrubiconusa.org/ Contact us: NumTwoPod@gmail.com twitter.com/NumTwoPod fb.me/NumTwoPod instagram.com/NumTwoPod youtube.com/campfyre Support us: campfyrepod.com/merch --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/numtwopod/support

Number Two Cuz and Tello start off by recounting a disturbing text message conversation they had before the show started. After the poop talk, Lourdes tells us about the devastation that was Hurricane Harvey. Currently Beaumont is still without dependable, working water supply, and clean water and food are still difficult to come by since most roads in and out of the city are shut down due to the massive flooding. Sadly we lost our Aunt Marcela during this time, and we pay tribute to her the best way we know how.
