The podcast episode compares the sustainability of city and country living, with a focus on infrastructure, transportation, land usage, and social aspects. While the countryside offers more space and a slower pace, cities are more sustainable due to better infrastructure, energy efficiency, and social services. Suburbs are criticized for combining the worst of both worlds, lacking essential amenities and contributing to urban sprawl.

Ian DeBay compares city and suburban living, arguing that cities are more sustainable due to their density and potential for reduced car usage. To reduce emissions, Ian DeBay suggests implementing renewable energy sources, energy-efficient buildings, and limiting car use in both cities and the countryside. We envision a future with only cities, towns, and villages, connected by high-speed trains and accessible by foot, bike, or public transportation.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
