Corks In Cowtown

Apparently this week we’re wildlife rescuers, professional bad-decision makers, and experts on everything wrong with society. Naturally. We’re swapping family stories that somehow involve rescuing baby birds, burying said baby birds (RIP), and revisiting the era when Heelys and hoverboards were apparently acceptable forms of transportation. Because nothing says “childhood memories” quite like wheels strapped to your feet and absolutely no concern for personal safety. Then things take a turn, as they usually do. We’re talking Euphoria, drugs, OnlyFans, and the very weird experience of realizing that becoming parents has completely changed the way we look at things we probably wouldn’t have thought twice about ten years ago.

Is there ever such a thing as too much cake? We firmly believe the answer is no. This week we're celebrating Monica's big 4-0 (and pretending we're somehow old enough to be having that conversation when we obviously still look 21). From birthday festivities and indulgent desserts to beauty talk, hilarious family stories, and questionable life choices that somehow make for great stories now, we're covering it all. We also dive into a more serious conversation about online safety, a controversial new self-defense device that's got everyone talking, and celebrate a few sweet baby milestones along the way. This was also supposed to be the June episode…oops.

Did I completely forget to upload this podcast last Friday? Yes.Did I have to set a reminder to post it today? Also yes. This episode starts off as Questions & Confessions and somehow spirals into Robyn Rants™ about Fort Worth traffic, the Stockyards, motherhood, friendships, cheating, boundaries, and whatever else we decided to emotionally unpack that day. Honestly…we covered a lot. Good luck and Godspeed, Scallywags.

If ya’ll haven’t heard about the cornhole guy who killed someone, we gotchu. On top of that fascinatingly strange story we go over our family vacations and how I rebranded Mardi Gras to a tractor parade, and how Monica is in need of a hip replacement because her kids will not stop. Being a parent is still wild and we need cocktails and coffee to get through it all! Buckle up!

Well we start this episode out with a bang, or should I say rip…What do you think would hurt worse, emergency C-section or your labia being ripped off? Anyways… From there we spiral into the usual chaos. Pregnancy brain, Botox timing, early parenthood, pet drama, and the general circus that is life lately. We do manage to get serious for a hot second talking about kids being mean and a wild documentary about a neighborhood shooting… but don’t worry, that maturity doesn’t last long. Five minutes later we’re back to cackling like the Scallywags we are.
