What’s Your Gift? - Part 2
Wednesday Aug 30, 2023
Wednesday Aug 30, 2023
Last week we touched on finding purpose and the difference between being open and vulnerable. Well this week Henry and I give ya'll a lot to think about and we're definitely vulnerable after chugging this bottle of champagne. What is our purpose? Could it be something simple versus grand? We are often willing to give help, but can why aren't we open to receiving help? Bet you'd never think Henry and I would be watching football documentaries in our spare time, but we sure did and that brings us to Johnny Football. We won't ruin the documentary for you but highly suggest watching it. So many of us are given "gifts" some of these maybe physical gifts, talents, etc. But what about gifts that make us who we are? For us, we consider these spiritual gifts. However, we dive in and give you options and viewpoints on all of these gifts and how we see them in our friends even. The truth is sometimes we just need someone to point them out, and give us our flowers, and hold us accountable.

Perspective On Purpose - Part 1
Wednesday Aug 23, 2023
Wednesday Aug 23, 2023
My sweet friend Henry joins for a 3 part episode where we dive into purpose. Now this isn't what we may typically discuss, but like most things nowadays, TikTok brought us here. Apparently someone had the audacity to inform many of us that 36 is now middle age. Yeah, sit with that for awhile and see how it makes you feel. Henry and I have many thoughts, so much so that we made notes for once. I ask Henry some of the tough questions I've recently asked myself and I'm curious to get ya'lls response to these because they aren't easy. If you had to remove all outside influence could you answer the question of "Who are you?" Many of you will take this as a joke which I understand, but I'd encourage you to really think about it. Sometimes we need these uncomfortable conversations to gage where we are, and how far we are from where we want to be. The truth is, life is short, and that always seems to be said but not truly believed or understood. Because if it was, many of us would be living differently. I'm grateful for a friend like Henry who is not only open but vulnerable in these conversations with me. So much so, I'll just tell you, many tears were shed during the next 3 episodes. I pray everyone has someone like Henry in their life, and if you don't, I'm happy to share.

817 - 4545 - YOLO
Wednesday Aug 09, 2023
Wednesday Aug 09, 2023
You may wanna turn the volume down for this one and be prepared to spit your drink out because my friend Bryan Wilson, The Texas Law Hawk has entered the chat! It's our first post Covid catchup, and we hit all the bases. I learn everything DWI related and there's even some role play involved (not like that) If you've seen any of Bryan's commercials you know they come with a lesson and I learned a lot. Not to mention what does Taco Bell have to do with anything? My newest spirit animal is basically any animal who can deliver swift justice, the idea of a Law-ctopus just about took me out. I ask the hard hitting questions like "Do you really get a bologna sandwich in jail?" and "How many phone numbers do I need to memorize?" I'm impressed by the dedication Bryan has to his craft and possibly more impressed by his connections to the Tiger King and Snoop Dog. The animal theme is strong y'all. If you didn't know there is one bail bonds place in Fort Worth you should never contact. But more importantly: Just take an Uber, and you ALWAYS have the right to just shut the fuck up. I mean, remain silent.

Going Viral with Live2Dye
Wednesday Aug 02, 2023
Wednesday Aug 02, 2023
Considering she knows so much about me it was about time to have my hairstylist on the podcast. I met Haley a few years ago when I wanted to get extensions and she was about to take off. And by take off I mean leave the salon she was at and then be harassed by her old boss for taking clients with her. She may have done the right thing by giving her 2 weeks, but well, we'll let the voicemail tell the rest. Ya'll know I love receipts so I'm very proud Haley is a lover of having everything in writing. She may be 23 be Haley was ready to embrace the Live2Dye way of life so much so that she's even had to put a warrant out for someone who tried to steal from her. What is it about getting your hair done that you just spill the beans about everything? Your stylist becomes like a therapist and best friend over the course of 3 hours easily. And let's get real, it's not the hideous capes we have to wear because that is when my guard is at my lowest! Haley has gone Tik Tok viral quite a few times and manages to piss some people off, but always stands her ground. The internet toll section is vast! We talk tattoos, Jasper the doll, and snakes in couches. But don't worry we find our back to discussing me going copper, and what we should do to my hair next! Not to mention the pros and cons to extensions and what does sunscreen have to do with them? Haley is such a great resource to follow for all things hair related, not to mention so sweet and funny. I know you'll want to give her a follow after this episode!

Tom Talks
Wednesday Jul 26, 2023
Wednesday Jul 26, 2023
So picture this: I'm up late one night scrolling on Tik Tok and finally get off conspiracy-tok and on to real estate-tok when I see one of my Facebook friends Tom Jung! Not only is Tom a Realtor and new father, but a podcaster! I had to send him a message after seeing his videos and get him on Corks in Cowtown. This episode was actually our first time meeting and yearbooks were even involved! We dive into our love of Fort Worth and discuss our want for a Fort Worth events directory. I mean seriously if we all just banded together we could do it. Selfishly I wanted Tom to come chat because well I'm looking for a house. Or a rental property. Or land. Decisions are hard. I have a lot on my mind so we bounce around the options, and talk $$$. You really do just flip a switch one day and start talking about the weather and interest rates and insurance. I still have a lot of questions and know you'll all have good ones to share after this episode, so Tom already agreed to come back. Plus, I have to introduce him to the PodSquad! So anyways, who wants me to be their neighbor?

Behind The Beef
Monday Jul 17, 2023
Monday Jul 17, 2023
I'm back after a short break and I sure missed ya'll! So much so that my first guest back had to be the R.A.P Podcast because drama was requested and I'm here to make ya'll happy! We dive in talking all things Kanye West, mental health, and loyalty in the hip-hop scene.
This is only the second time I've met Johnny and Jay post Podcasts & PBR and they've come onto the podcast scene ready to stir the pot. And who am I to not encourage that? You may find yourself asking...Robyn, who is the beef with though?! And I'll tell you this. It's not the girls. The boys are fighting. If the girls were fighting we'd have a problem because honestly we are scary together when we love each other.
Is this podcast beef real? Is it clickbait? And what do overalls have to do with it? There have been recent talks of putting gloves on, but I feel like most things could be settled with a round of beer-lympics! Am I the drama? I definitely help stir the pot on this one as one of eldest podcasts in the funk. But let's get real it's all love for the pod squad, teasing is a love language right?

Mom On A Mission
Thursday May 25, 2023
Thursday May 25, 2023
Thanks to Tractor Supply and PBR I had the opportunity to interview Dana Aviles in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards before her return to the world of team roping. First and foremost Dana is a mom, and a dedicated one at that. Dana is making her return to the western world at 51, and maybe a little nervous. California has been home and where she's focused on raising her kids who are also in the industry and they helped encourage her return. Dana is truly putting her faith on display by allowing her team roping partner to be someone she doesn't really know. I'm telling ya'll the Womens Rodeo ladies are something special. Drive and determination are a huge factor in making this return and while Dana remains incredibly humble I want her to know what an absolute badass she is. She might be from California, but I feel like she'd fit in Texas perfectly so I obviously have to but the idea in her head. Dana is a perfect example of not letting your age or circumstance be a factor in following something you are passionate about. And I just know that mindset alone will take her far, and be an asset in raising her kids.

Cool Whip’s Mom
Wednesday May 17, 2023
Wednesday May 17, 2023
PBR World Finals are back in Fort Worth and I had the honor of meeting Staci Addison who is a stock contractor and "Mom" to the top ranked bull with a 98% buckoff rate! Not only is Staci super easy to talk to, but she is beyond passionate about this sport and gives credit where it's due. Staci is the embodiment of what a mom should be, often telling her very large child "I love you no matter what.” Staci let me know she's more of a stage mom these days and lets her partner do the flanking. They are also hosting an event soon which not only includes a massive table charcuterie, but bull riding and a river float! Staci is one of those people you could talk to for hours about anything and you can tell she loves what she does. Make sure to give this episode a listen and give her a follow, I'm trying to figure out a way to meet Cool Whip and sneak him a treat!

Podcasts & PBR is only days away, Wednesday May 10th at Cowtown Coliseum! Which goes to show how large events and tourism really do affect our city. National Travel and Tourism Week starts May 7-13 so it was only right to bring in a guest who knows something about both, Robin Bangert. Not only is Robin a friend who happens to have an amazing name, but she may have just turned me back into a whiskey drinker. She's been a part of Fort Worth's TX Whiskey Ranch for awhile now so she may be a familiar face if you've visited before. Robin made me a DELISH espresso martini WITH TX...You'll have to listen for the recipe. She shares upcoming events and what really makes TX Whiskey special, besides its stunning location. Not to mention we have come up with a few new event ideas you'll appreciate! Make sure to add TX Whiskey Ranch to your list of local date nights or places to visit soon. And don't forget to ask for Robin, because I can promise you she's someone you want to know! Plus, you must try and help her in stumping the distillers...

Your Finest Chicken Tendies
Wednesday Apr 26, 2023
Wednesday Apr 26, 2023
Do ya'll know about the drama in the Fort Worth food scene? SHEESH. There is a lot going on so I had to have my friend Angie on as a fellow "foodie" to get her perspective on who will last and who won't. Does Fort Worth have a diverse food scene or do we play it safe? And how about Fort Worth staples that are overlooked or forgotten? Not to mention a certain city council member APPARENTLY only eats chicken tenders. I wonder what sauce though...More French cuisine is making its way to Fort Worth, and hopefully a certain pup doesn't make a mess at this establishment. Angie and I discuss why it's important to try foods you don't like again, and what do you put on your hot dog? This episode will definitely have a part 2 because we barely scratched the surface.
PODCASTS AND PBR 2.0 is scheduled for May 10th at Cowtown Coliseum and we cannot wait to see you there!
Also, tip your servers and bartenders and if you can't, stay home!
