Conner and Mr. Well-Travelled start the show talking about Seattle's Democracy Voucher Program and having previous podcast guest, "Ace" Andrew Grant Houston, be Seattle's first name in the race for Mayor.
The guys also answer an email question from a listener regarding the Seattle Freeze and dealing with relationships during the pandemic. Here's the questions:
"Dear Mr. Well-Travelled, and Conner,
Last week you shared your story about meeting each other in person after connecting on Instagram. Honestly, it made me a little sad, and a little jealous. I graduated from college in 2019 and moved from Florida to Seattle in November 2019 for my new job. With it being the holidays, I realized I might not have moved here at the best time, however, when Thanksgiving came around, one of my coworkers invited me over to celebrate with him and his family which took some of the worry away about being alone for the holidays. I spent Christmas by myself, but was lucky enough to again spend NYE with my coworkers. I had met some new people and thought I was starting to make friends, I even went on a date with a girl I met online. I know this sounds good, but 3 months later, the pandemic had started, and my job moved to remote full time. Since then, I really haven't had many friends in Seattle. I haven't heard from my coworkers (outside of work) and the friends I thought I had been making haven't reached out. I heard about the Seattle Freeze when I moved here, but hearing you two share your story, made me wonder, what do you think of the Seattle Freeze and how have you made friends in Seattle?"
