So that started to get me excited about exploring what Gaucho culture was and how it related to Jeremy Mate and how it related to my own story. And in a way, it kind of connected me to my past, to my family, and especially during Pandemic, I felt comfort in that journey. And we'll be discussing it further with you. So that's what this podcast, this micro podcast, is going to be about. Thank you

I happen to live in a very rural area of New England and we all have very similar roots and backgrounds from similar ethnicities and similar origins and we can trace our family history back to some of the same names of founding fathers in our communities. And it's really nice to be able to kind of branch out and learn about other groups of people and where they're living in the country and what type of important events and holidays and cultures that they experience from their background

Hey, David. This is JL, also on here as her sea su. And I welcome you to the Swell community. It is a dynamic, engaging and interactive micropod community, a T, and I have been a part of it for the past two months. I do not have a formal podcast I am on here, my business name is Hersisu, where I provide evidence based content for survivors of domestic violence and for those who are on the path to freedom and wholeness leading authentic life

David, I've loved how you use the sort of ASMR aspect of the water and the straw sound. It's just beautiful. It's kind of stuff I really love. And I can't wait to hear your brothers come on here and some other swells and kind of have that intimate dialogue that you probably are so good at having. And I love that it was a podcast that brought you together in honor of the memory

And so the way the story goes is that the Spanish left, but they had also left while the Spanish were in Argentina. This is again, like right at the beginning of Argentina's existence. The Spanish had come, they had colonized, they had slept with the indigenous women, and then had orphans there. Right. Or they produce seed in Argentina that were a type of mestizo. Mestizo, meaning a mix of Spanish and indigenous. This new generation of children, that was a mix

In the Americas, you also have caffeinated plants, various ones, and in particular, there's a plant called Sharba mate, which is a type of holly, and its leaves have a lot of caffeine in them in South America, in the Rio Parana region, which is close to the Amazon, but just south of it. This plant was used heavily by the indigenous people there, namely the ACA and the Guateani. So these are tribes, these are indigenous tribes that are in those regions

If I were to recap my grades that I used to earn in historical related classes, yeah, I could have paid attention a little bit more. I did it, though. But please continue to share because I'm at the age where that type of information is of interest

And it was a term that was used to describe the people who were mestizo, mestizo, meaning a mixture of the original Spanish colonialists and the indigenous people that lived in the regions of Argentina that then became the ones that had taken on the role of cattle ranching or horseback riding and taking care of cattle and then exporting that cattle back to Europe. And so Argentina became famous because of its beef culture and cattle beef producing not unlike parts of the Southwest
