Ep. 123: Texas Part 2, Giddyup! We're LIVE (and Sloppy!) from the Mähj the Magazine Retreat at the Interstate Inn

The Mahjcast hits the road for a very special live episode from Mähj the Magazine’s retreat at the Interstate Inn in Stephenville, Texas — and Jason is surrounded by some of the women (and a bro named Fast Charlie) helping turn Texas into one of the hottest mahjong communities in the country.With Ira back home, Jennifer Hohman, co-founder of Houston's @MahjongMeetsMoxie and co-host of The Mahj Salon pod, steps in as co-host as we finally settle the great Texas blanks debate, break down the Dallas vs. Houston mahjong rivalry, and ask the question of the weekend: “Is that a mahjong thing…or a Texas mahjong thing?”Plus: 🀄 Kathy Wise on the latest from Mähj the Magazine, the Texas mahjong boom and what’s coming next 🤠 Interstate Inn owner Lisa Lennox on reimagining a classic roadside motel into the perfect mahjong retreat ✨ Lourdes from @For_ the_Love_of_Mahjong on design, tablescapes and the business of mahj 🎯 Brandy from @SoloMahj on a brilliant way to practice the game, you guessed it, solo! ❤️ An unforgettable conversation with Lizzie about Jewish life in Texas, family history and how mahjong helped her through loss 🍸 And plenty of sloppy mahj, trinkets, cocktails, Texas hospitality and absolutely unnecessary Ira slander.Jason came to Texas trying to figure out what makes Texas mahjong different — and left realizing it isn’t one rule or one style of play. It’s the hospitality, creativity, entrepreneurship and community built around the table.Pull up a chair, rack your tiles, and let’s play.Follow @themahjbros on Instagram and slide into our DMs, we love hearing from you!
