    Argentina's National Day of Yerba Mate

    Hey loyal listeners, Sorry we've been gone for a while, but we promise to get back into publishing episodes with more yerba mate content. We recorded this episode on November 30, Argentina's National Day of Yerba Mate. And since we haven't podcasted in a while, we mainly started to talk about what it's been like as mate-drinkers in 2023. Of course, that means discussion about yerba mate in a new world where Argentina are World Cup Champions and in which Lionel Messi is an Inter Miami player. Gracias y gracias, - David, Ryan, and Casey

    Argentina are World Cup Champions! What does it mean for yerba mate?

    Messi Christmas, everybody! Why the delay on this podcast episode?

We talk about what it all means for Argentina and for yerba mate.  Thanks for listening!  Gracias, y gracias -- Ryan, David, Casey ¡Veni veni, canta conmigo, que un amigo vas a encontrar, que de la mano de Leo Messi, toda la vuelta vamos a dar!

    Drinking yerba mate and following the World Cup

    Hey folks, we got up early today to drink mate and record a new podcast episode BEFORE the US vs. Netherlands and Argentina vs. Australia games at World Cup. You can sense our nervousness for the two upcoming games.  Anyways, we also had a good time talking about the revelation that England/Tottenham squad's Eric Dier and Harry Kane learned to drink mate from their former coach Mauricio "Poche" Pochettino.  Casey also describes his reasons for having a sawed-off bombilla and owning a doomsday-prepper quantity of yerba (just in case), plus we talk about caffeine content and whether "mateine" is a myth or a real thing.  Gracias y gracias,  - Ryan, Casey, and David

    Who is drinking yerba mate at the World Cup?

    It's been a while since we've recorded a new episode. We're changing that. Our mate moments are just too important! This is our first episode performed over Zoom and uploaded separately. Already, we recognized that the quality is improved considerably.  In this episode, we talk about all things yerba mate and the World Cup. Beer may be banned at the World Cup, but not yerba mate. In fact, yerba mate is having a moment in Qatar and creating some controversies in Argentina.  We also share who our picks are for winning each group. Let us know if you agree!  Hope you enjoy! Gracias y gracias. - David, Ryan, and Casey

  7. Yerba mate for mental health

    Yerba mate for mental health

    Folks, we're back to talking about yerba mate and our passion for it! We sure wish we could talk about yerba mate all day, but we also have families and jobs that take up our time. Much like creating a podcast for fun, yerba mate helps to keep us sane and grounded. It's why we decided to make this episode about yerba mate for mental health. Our discussion about yerba mate is based on our own individual experiences. However, mental health is a pretty complex topic and we are not specialists, so be sure to seek qualified care as needed.  Note: If you are an individual seeking help due to a mental health or substance abuse concern, please consider calling 1-800-662-HELP (4357) for confidential, free, 24-hours-a-day, information service in English or Spanish. Gracias y gracias,  - David, Ryan, and Casey P.S. Sorry about the audio problems.

    The Adventurous Spirit of The Gaucho

    "There is high enjoyment in the independence of the Gaucho life -- to be able at any moment to pull up your horse, and say, 'Here we will pass the night.'" - Charles Darwin In this episode of Way of the Gaucho, we talk about how yerba mate helps fuel an adventurous spirit like that of the gauchos of old. We also spend a lot of time letting Casey talk about his recent epic escapade into the snowy Idaho wilderness.  Check it out!  Gracias y gracias,  Ryan, David, and Casey
