    In another COVID-19 edition of Urbanist Unfiltered, our producers pulled a Diddy and hoped on this episode with Chris. We explore the reopening of states and the national unemployment numbers.

    We're social distancing! In this remotely recorded episode, we talk about the effects of COVID-19 and what the future could look like in the aftermath. The Quad touches on political leadership during this crisis, and then on a lighter note, reflects on a new Netflix period piece. The HAULYP conference is still happening, so let us keep you updated. If you're smart, you're at home, so why not put us on?!

    The Quad is back as a duo this month! Steph and Chris had time this month! From dealing with the grief of Kobe's passing to recommending cartoons. From Snoop backtracking at the red table to Bieber and hop-scotchin in and out of the ghetto. No topic was left untouched in this episode. Plus it's Super Tuesday here in Texas and Democratic candidates are dropping like flies so you know our hosts had something to say about that. If you haven't already gone out to vote, make sure you do so today, and go ahead and put us on while you wait in line.

    Today's episode is a short but sweet one. We're kicking off the new year with great news from the Quad and HAULYP! Plus we all know that the honorable Mayor Turner got elected for another term, but what about the other positions? James will be giving us the rundown on the run-off races in today's episode. And if you're in Houston and looking for a great date night or even just a family-friendly activity check out 'The Color Factory', that's where James spent his birthday. The brief review he gave intrigued the rest of the Quad so we had to share it with y'all! And Cherrelle mentioned this on the show, but don't forget that we have Join Week 2020 coming up next month and the National Conference will be making its way to Houston this summer and you don't want to miss either one of those. Be sure to check out our website for information on both and make sure you following us on social media so that you're in the know for all of our upcoming events!

    *Cues up Chance the Rapper track* The Quad is back in Third Ward for episode 2x02 and they have a lot to talk about. Election turnout and results which led to a runoff, the "traditional" roles inside of a relationship and how they can possibly affect the longevity of it and even Kanye! This episode was recorded before Kanye's Sunday Service in Houston was announced and put on, but the conversation was spot on! Our hosts even debuted their new 'HAULYP History' segment with two of the Quad's own, James and Cherrelle! They so eloquently refer to themselves as OG Triple OGs, and you'll find out why once you listen to this episode. As usual, please feel free to send all of your questions and comments to pr@haulyp.org, and if you're a small business and you want to be featured in a Small Business Spotlight section please reach out to us at info@haulyp.org!
