We’re Back, Aunties

Well. We’re back. Again. And in true Scallywag fashion, we did not do it quietly. In this episode, we finally explain ourselves. Yes, there was a secret pregnancy. Yes, there is now a whole human named Truett. No, I did not see that plot twist coming either. We’re talking: • explosive diaper blowouts that should qualify as natural disasters • changing-table rage. Count your days, Koala Care. • what happens to your marriage when you introduce a tiny boss with no communication skills • home renova...

Hot Takes and Headstones

Robyn and Monica return with a chaotic episode covering their allergy struggles, in-law pet dramas involving a possum, and a hilarious argument with Han's dad about tipping culture. They share restaurant service experiences, critique nature documentaries, and recommend a wild documentary about Elvis impersonators and the CIA. The hosts also reveal new "Hans-isms," discuss finding a WWII headstone, and recount funny stories about kids' podcast fame and financial observations.

Blood, Smoothies and a Wedding

Pop the bubbly— Questions + Confessions is back, and so are Monica and I with another round of chaos, questionable choices, and unsolicited opinions. This week’s episode dives into the important stuff: like whether it’s acceptable to make a life-altering decision during your wedding ceremony, how not to get arrested in Baltimore, and why every office apparently comes with a built-in crush. From travel meltdowns and parenting gray areas to the gym’s real appeal (hint: it’s not the treadmill), we’...

Corks & Chaos

In this lively episode of Corks in Cowtown , Monica and I are back behind the mics, ready to share our hilarious stories and everyday mishaps. We dive into a list of quirky pet peeves, from the ridiculousness of vanity license plates to the mystery of Jeep rubber duck collections. Ever wondered why wasp nests are sold as decor or why window tinting laws make no sense? We've got you covered. We recount my first misadventure of running out of gas in remote Kansas, while I dish on surviving lacklus...

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 f...

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 ...

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...

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 ...

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 g...

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 encourage...

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 t...

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. Pa...

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 a...

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 e...

Best Maid Pickletini

Well - my new bestie is Elizabeth Dalton from Best Maid pickles and she can't even tell me otherwise. While she may be a Philly girl originally, she's living her BEST life as a Texan. As you'll find out in the episode it wasn't always smooth sailing in Fort Worth, but a chance encounter turned out to be quite a big DILL. Elizabeth has lived about 5 different lives and tells me about all of them! Did I create the first "Best Maid Pickletini" recipe? We'll let you know after having a few more. Sin...

Return of the Scallywags

Monica is back and we're answering questions! How serious is the term best friend? And when is child labor acceptable? My high school drill team had some creative names I share, and Monica tells a story I had no clue about. There's a lot of wheezing. For the OG listeners Miami man made a return, I might need to share that story again. We hate victim mentality, but vent sessions are a must. Are kids master manipulators? Chicken Nugget maybe the name of a child, and we must get to the bottom of it...

Beavis + Butthead

It's time to introduce ya'll to one of my besties, Monica. We've known each other since nam and both have a history of wheezing when laughing so buckle up. Something we bonded over very quickly was dairy in cheese form. Which leads to the question: What type of cheese would you be? (Please DM your answers) Monica may also be married to my mortal enemy which we'll get to later. But why must husbands be so judgemental with how you get ready for the gym? Monica introduces: Salami gym prep, and I'm ...

Tequila Trio

Two of your favorite service industry bartenders made their way to Corks in Cowtown, and ya'll had a lot of questions! Honestly it's a miracle this episode didn't go off the rails because the La Pulga tequila hit hard. Kelli and Heather answer all your burning questions like where do you buy those little thong bottoms? I'll let them tell you. And what should happen to bad tippers? SHAME THEM. Just a suggestion. You may think your bartender is hot, but do you actually have a chance with them? Don...

Flowers + A lot of Tears - Part 3

It's time we open another bottle to round out this conversation about purpose and our gifts. And let me just say, the bottle does not reflect the conversation because it was awful! Henry and I continue our talk about gifts and dive into hospitality, and humbling ourselves. We share some of the things we love about each other and realize some people never experience that simple act. And why? People need grace, mercy, and kindness. Often we make excuses for others and ourselves when the answer is ...

What’s Your Gift? - Part 2

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 ...

Perspective On Purpose - Part 1

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 respons...

817 - 4545 - YOLO

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 basical...

Going Viral with Live2Dye

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 writi...

Tom Talks

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 serio...

Behind The Beef

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...

Mom On A Mission

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...

Cool Whip’s Mom

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 ...

TX Whiskey Ranch

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 fam...

Your Finest Chicken Tendies

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,...

HOLY what

Back again with another unscripted conversation that quickly has a mind of its own. This week I'm joined in studio with Jesus and Lyrical from TFTI. You haven't seen them on Uncorked yet but it's coming. I stopped by CasaRita for recording cocktails and they maybe to blame for this episode bouncing around. Podcasts & PBR is coming back for round 2 this year! So save the date for Wednesday, May 10th at Cowtown Coliseum. We have some actual surprises in store from PBR as well. Come find out if...
