Corks In Cowtown

Blowholes, Breakups + Bangers

Pour yourself a drink because this episode is serving up relationship debates, absurd hypotheticals, and life lessons you definitely didn’t ask for. Questions + Confessions is BACK and we’re talking about commitment—because, let’s be real, some of y’alls dates treat relationships like free trials with no intention to subscribe.
Ever wondered if a dolphin would play the trumpet with its mouth or its blowhole? No? Well, we’re diving deep into that debate anyway. Plus, we’re curating the ultimate funeral playlist—because if we’re going out, we’re going out with a banger.
This might be a shorter episode, but it’s packed with personal confessions, off-the-wall tangents, and just enough wisdom to make your therapist proud. It’s time to hit play, let’s get into it!

I’ve Got LICE!

Well y’all, it’s been a MINUTE, and we’ve got some catching up to do. Spoiler alert: I somehow managed to get engaged, married, AND move to Kansas all in the span of eight months—who saw that coming? Not me, especially since my proposal happened on literally the worst day of my life. Meanwhile, Monica’s out here thriving in mom life… but also ready to put her kid out on the street over a potential lice situation (honestly, fair). Let’s dive into all the life changes, unexpected twists, and what it’s really like going from city life to country chaos. From wrangling small-town quirks to surviving motherhood, this episode is full of unfiltered stories, laughs, and of course, scallywag energy. Pour a drink (or three) and let’s catch up! We missed ya’ll!

Truffle - boarding

We missed y’all and decided we’d take it easy on the cocktails this round, and just go HAM on coffee instead. Make sense right? Talk Derby to Me was AWESOME! Thank y’all so much for continuously showing up and supporting the podcast. Now, what shall we plan next…
Monica and I reminisce about the absolute menaces we used to be. And decided we should still consult legal counsel before sharing all the details. Have you ever witnessed a turkey contemplating life choices? I’m ready for brunch with an alien, I hope they like champagne. We talk about a trip we took to New Orleans and how we’ve never had our egos stroked more. And what does a toilet seat have to do with it? I had a matrix moment and am still VERY confused about what happened. 
In other news, we want to share a fundraiser that is coming up Tuesday, June 4th at Marty B’s. “Battle for Bobbitt” will be hosted by the Flower Mound Firefighters Association in support of James Bobbitt, who has been a member of the department for almost 20 years. For the past several months James has been battling stage 4 Esophageal Cancer. Each ticket includes your meal and a drink. We hope to see you. 

Hello? Dis da moon

Well, it’s been awhile. 
When we last left our scallywags they were preparing for brunch in December that left them feeling like they were beat with a bottle of champagne. Monica’s husband won’t stop reminding us we are aging. The Yule log forever has our hearts. And we used to REALLY embarrass our friends as kids before we knew what being PC was. What would you do for a prime parking spot? Oh yeah we go on a brief tangent about perspective and using your voice. The world is a wild place. Are we starting a revolution? Is Tik Tok? Honestly our brains stop working mid episode. Did Helen Keller exist? And was the moon landing fake? We are BIG hot dog fans, but little dogs need love too. Monica’s name for children has me ready to pass away. Did ya’ll know I was single for 10 years? Oh yeah, I have a boyfriend. And all I do is cry now. We have a lot to catch up on ya’ll!
Talk Derby To Me is THIS Saturday, May 4th. Haven’t bought tickets yet? Send me a DM and I’ll make you a deal!

Hot Dog Pancakes

Well ya’ll, it’s the last episode of the year. Don’t worry Monica and I want to go out with a bang. Did you know Big Red cures hangovers? Daddy Paul joins us for Tik Tok trends, and we are ready to sell our gum. We test our knowledge of white rappers, and let’s just say it’s not great. Martinis & Mistletoe is this Sunday, December 10th and I’m beyond excited to do brunch with some of my favorites, and new friends. Oh yeah and my birthday is Saturday! Will kids ever listen? And are Monica’s girls following her strange behaviors? We introduce a fun new game called, “Worst Case Scenario” and I share possibly the strangest conspiracy theory ever. Revenge and vindication come when you least expect it if you sit back and wait. And after a year of not dating, online dating is STILL not it. What’s your serial killer trait? Ready for not your normal ice breakers? Black Friday shopping isn’t the same anymore, and somehow Monica’s family didn’t know she was weird. It’s tough to have a juicy booty, but someone’s gotta do it. Need a new way to say no, we got you.
Most importantly, Thank You. I love this little podcast and I love how it’s brought so many people into my life and taught me so much along the way. I appreciate every listen, every share, every message. I promise I’ll keep growing and evolving alongside y’all and we’ll experience this thing called life together.

Ice Cream Balls in Cowtown

This is the second to last episode of the year and I keep forgetting to upload it so I apologize. It’s busy season y’all. Monica and I dive into our old lunch adventures which include me screaming, and why miso makes us laugh so hard. Our obsession with Blue Sushi’s ice cream balls will never be upstaged, and urban bow hunting…Should we share the illegal things we did over 10 years ago? I mean y’all know I’m honest about my mistakes and I’ve made some big ones. Hooters pitchers of beer encouraged Monica to try dip, and I’m not talking spinach and artichoke. What is the key to winning rock paper scissors? Also, what snacks would you grab on the way out, if you robbed a gas station? Or do ya’ll not think about these things?

Chicken Lips + Taxidermy

Well my head hurts and apparently I take pills funny according to Monica and Daddy Paul. I’m still obsessed with Costco and we pay tribute to Costco hotdogs. Do you think they have a scent you can buy? The dollar menu no longer exists, and Dollar General may have to rebrand. Do chickens have lips? I went trick or treating with Monica and her girls and we found a booze map! Our post trek meal was interesting. Cheese and potatoes make us happy, but Monica has beef with Parmesan. What do cats and twitter have to do with making us laugh so hard? Who is keeping insanely niche creatives in business? My insane dreams have returned, and I learn that Monica and hospitals don’t mix.
 
Martinis + Mistletoe is officially SOLD OUT! I cannot say thank you enough for all of you who purchased tickets, I’m so excited to see everyone and meet so many of you as well! Hurry up December 10th!

Dear Paul, I’m Sorry

Welp, Daddy Paul is upset with me and I don’t know if he’ll ever recover. The cut was deep, and now all I can do is publicly apologize. But anyways, we’re back and on our bullshit. Or maybe not. Because I cannot get it together lately. We talk Polly Pockets, and other small things to choke on. I’m Costco’s newest fan, however I’ll be avoiding banana nut bread for awhile. What does Brian McKnight have to do with this episode? Have you ever had to get naked in front of a stranger? AKA a doctor. Paul ruins my punch lines as a form of protest, and we talk first time with steroids, and Michelin star restaurants. Again, I don’t know how we got here.
 
Oh yeah, and I’m hosting a ladies brunch at Fitzgeralds on Sunday, December 10th! You gotta listen for the details obviously, but sexy Santa and his friends will be there, plus it’s the day after my birthday and I want to celebrate with the girls!

The Art of Dying

I knew I had to do something unique for this Halloween, and when I heard about Death Cafes, my interest was peaked. I don’t know if it’s just part of growing older or my life experiences, but death is something I think about often. Not in a morbid way, well, maybe to some. But why don’t we talk about it more. Is it because of the extreme emotions that come along with it? Is it because we don’t talk about it enough, it becomes uncomfortable? I sat down with Lacy from The Art of Dying Fort Worth and we dove right in. The concept of a Death Cafe is genius to me. And you can all put December 14th on the calendar if you’re interested in attending one. I really don’t want to give much away here because this was such and interesting episode that flew by. I had many questions, and still have more and am curious to hear yours as well. Lacy and her business partner Taylor will be coming back in the new year to answer more questions and really deep dive into why a death doula has become a career path for many. Or more so a calling. Death maybe an uncomfortable conversation, but if the world has told us anything in the past few years especially…it’s something we need to be thinking about.

Just Scallywaggin

I almost peed my pants recording this episode, so get ready. Monica is back and the Scallywags are in full force. Conversations with my friends rarely leave me speechless but some of the topics brought up have me in utter shock. We're gonna need all the fellas to tune into this one and give some feedback, because we have some serious concerns and questions. About...camels? Does a woman's love of spandex start at childhood? What type of chicken tender would you be? KFC bowls slap, and did ya'll ever know about Ermahgerd Girl? The left lane is for people with ticket money. And who know weird foods would make my DMs go crazy! Gabe Kapler - I'm available to be managed. Shoutout to guys who do leg day and sometimes I have dad jokes.
