Corks In Cowtown

Unleashing The Beast

If you haven't heard of Beast & Company by now, you are most likely living my dream of being a doomsday prepper and don't have service in your bunker. Anyways, Chef Dustin Lee, Owner & Chef joins me to clear the air about some recent social media rumblings and we cover it all. Not only did Chef Dustin start in oil & gas, but he is also a self taught chef. His job allowed him to travel across the world which helped inspire his dream of opening a restaurant, especially when given the opportunity to learn cooking techniques across the world. We pop a bottle of his favorite wine, which honestly went down a little too easy, while he shared why Indian food is his favorite to make. What's your risk factor level? And what risks are worth taking? Ya'll means all in Fort Worth, so why would a Fort Worth media personality try to stir the pot with a newer restaurant in the scene. And by the way, is there beef in the Fort Worth food scene? Ya'll good? You know I had to ask the questions no one wants to, so we talk bad reviews and what is being done to address customer concerns. Which you'll learn is mostly just a lack of education and knowledge that Chef Dustin shares. Texans are used to LARGE portions, but that doesn't necessarily translate when the focus is quality and locally sourced produce. Oh yeah, and we talk about wine, because who doesn't want to talk about wine especially while enjoying some. I'm gonna let ya'll listen to this episode and make your own judgments, but personally I'm ready to make a reservation.
 
 

Pasta & Hump?

WELL...this episode got delayed because full transparency Dank and I partook in some edibles before recording and we needed some slight edits. Thanks Daddy Paul. If you don't know Dank817 from Uncorked, you're about to get a chaotic highlight reel. Not only is Dank the fastest rapper in Fort Worth, but I'd say he is our cities Theo Von because you literally never know what a story will hold! We discuss who our ideal smoking buddy would be and the high thoughts kick in rather quickly. Dank was dubbed a certified lover boy via Forever Reckless, however is a self proclaimed liar. Which is why I obviously had to get his perspective on many topics the ladies wanted answered! Is the one that got away a real thing? And what's wrong with dating older women? Stick around for the full episode to also hear what events Dank and his friends have going on, and to hear why now he's taking rapping more seriously. Catch Dank's song EVERY DAY dropping on 3/6 and Too High Taqueria 3/25!

Collective Evanescence

Get ready to laugh because it's Fort Worth's 10th Annual Meeting and I teamed up with The Funky Panther boys! Did I wake up at 4:30am, yes. But I looked cute thank to lounge seating provided by Loot Rentals, and obviously we sounded great thanks to NEXM Creative. Javier is the first to spot keynote speaker Mo Rocca, but gets a little shy. Listen to our interviews with Daddy Paul, Sunflowerman, Mia Moss (who tells us about the local mafia), Theresa Davis, Franklin Moss, and Lou Charles! Pinnacle Bank had us throwing out some insane ideas for what the surprise at the end of the event would be, and honestly one of us got pretty close. We get pumped up for the Tim Love After Party, and discuss how a TCU loss might make you slip during dry January. We admire the style of Fort Worth's finest, and of course roast each other at every opportunity possible. But overall we were beyond thrilled to be a part of this years annual meeting thanks to Visit Fort Worth. Seriously thank ya'll so much. Damn I love this city.

What’s Love Got To Do With It

Meet Katie. Katie was my server on a girls night out, and quickly turned into a friend. So much so that I invited her onto the podcast because we had so much to discuss. We chat about quality conversations, and why people yearn for connection through words. The service industry is as chaotic as ever, and yes your server knows if you're on a first date. Covid put Katie on a different path for the better, funny how life works out. Sometimes life has a way of giving you what you needed when you had other plans. We dive into all types of dating arrangements you find online, and I share a story about extremely fragile male egos. Do you have to play the game to find love? And who made the rules? Not to mention the times our friends and family try to guide us, but maybe we didn't listen. 

Theories, Rants & Rambling

Daddy Paul is back with a new hairdo and has become an influencer. We discuss the concept of time, and wonder if we're already dead. Ya'll know Earth is bigger than we think right? And the UFOs...We become history professors as we talk Pompeii & pyramids. And it's crazy how small we truly are in this big world. It's okay to be scared of things you don't understand, and it's okay to fail. The rants come in hot at the end, we discuss headlines and news stories and how someones character means more than their personal preferences. Really we want people to stop judging if it's not harming someone else. But more importantly should I fake a proposal on Valentines Day?

What You Want To Hear vs What You NEED To Hear

This episode has been in the making since my first time at the Fort Worth annual meeting, which happens to be Friday, February 17th next month. I'm joined in studio by Smoothvega who is not only an artist, social media guru, promoter, and manager. But soon to be a podcast host which launches Wednesday, January 25th! We talk all things music industry when it comes to listening to the professionals and swallowing your pride. However staying true to yourself, and being self aware is key to your success in life. Surrounding yourself with people who truly support you is important, but what happens when you feel like your city may not support you...Yeah, we got a little tea for you. 

To The Moon

Welcome my old neighbor, lover of Portillo's, and the EVP of Coinsource, Derek Muhney. I knew Derek had been traveling all over the world sharing his knowledge, but when I found out what his speciality was in...Let's just say I Googled: Bitcoin for Dummies. If you're anything like my friends and I, we're trying to get all aspects of life in order before the year really takes off and that includes finance and investments. Derek is an expert in his industry and shares his knowledge without making you feel like said dummy. We barely scratch the surface but hit keywords, and points so you can be more educated versus the keyboard warriors out there. Not to mention Derek has offered to help field questions from anyone who may have them. So buckle up, and put your learnin britches on!

What Makes You Weird?

I'm back! It's a whole new year and we've all had the crud, so I'm solo this episode, and you guessed it, I'm rambling. I'm reading 2023 Predictions made in 1923 and let's just say they are interesting. From spotless towns, and women blackening their teeth, to the newspaper going out of business. And next up are the Greatest Life Hacks, which aren't really hacks at all, and some make no sense, but we're going with it. I have a lot of questions this episode, so please listen and message me!

A Griswold Christmas with FWFD

Christmas is around the corner and we've got a Fort Worth firefighter captain in studio to give you the tea so you avoid a Griswold holiday this year. Can you believe firefighters are thrill junkies? Clay and I talk fire safety at the holidays when it comes to space heaters, electrical issues, candles, chimney fires, AND kitchen fires. We also share what you need to be prepared in case chaos arrives and you don't have a firefighter on standby. Can you imagine though...your own firefighter?! Ok anyway here are somethings you need to remember: PASS + Close before you doze. BUT you're gonna need to listen to understand those. Mmmkay. Happy holidays and Merry everything y'all!

Christmas Gifts + Coleslaw

Well this was supposed to be the Christmas episode, but we have officially lost our minds. Daddy Santa Paul shares about tickling noses, sex swings, and that men are worried about panty lines. Not yours ladies, theirs. We really want gifts that don't suck, because let's face it life is hard enough out here. We share services, splurges, and gifts really that we'd personally enjoy. Daddy Santa Paul becomes Scrooge over his odd choice in burger toppings and decides he should make me sound like Satan. Who knew a meat concoction could be the cause of our first fight? You're gonna need to stick around to the end on this one...
