TX Forever

This week on the podcast, Monica and Carley are joined by the wickedly hilarious Emma Germano (@emmagermano). Emma is a booking agent but best known for her strong passion for Shrek and Bob’s Burgers. We meet lots of new characters, have a couple AMAZING Smash and Mama Williams breakdowns, and we get a Tyra/Lyla reunion! And certainly can’t forget Matt buying some brand new wheels.

We have a very silly just-Mon-and-Carl episode today. We ask A LOT of y’all this week so please send us your thoughts, feelings, hopes and dreams.

Carley reveals that Monica is her horcrux and she educates Monica on Facebook Ant culture (?), and as far as FNL… We get the sexy Coach T angry laugh, the trio is back from Mexico and we officially crown #TeacherTim over #RainRiggins. AND Landry’s! Car! Is On Fiiiiire! This episode feels like Mon and Carl with no babysitter lol. Enjoy!!

This week we have our first return guest, the freshly vaccinated, L.A. based actor/writer and fan-fave, Royce Johnson (@RoyceLooksAtStuff)! Head down south with us while Tim and Lyla try to keep Jason from doing the Shark-Bait-Ooh-Ha-Ha procedure, and he responds by pulling a #FreeWilly. Monica, Carley, and Royce concur that Mexico’s smokiness is due to an overabundance of sizzling fajitas and that these high schoolers’ parents are wildly inattentive. However, this episode has some bright spots - some involve feeding two birds with one scone, some involve our beloved murder duo Tyra and Landry. We dive into Coach’s misogyny, drunk Tammy, the important distinction between bowler hats and fedoras, and a powerhouse music episode! After surviving the literal rough waters of this episode, we all agree that better times for Dillon lay just on the horizon!

Ben Siemon (@bjsiemon) was such a joy! Ben is a writer & comedian best known for his role of "Grocery Clerk With Half an Eyelid" on Crazy-Ex Girlfriend. He's also written for several animated shows including Ducktales, TrollsTopia and the upcoming Tiny Toons reboot. We talk about many more shows besides FNL that experienced a sophomore slump or overstayed their welcome, we die multiple times at Ben’s comparison of Buddy to Ted Cruz, and we laugh a lot at Ben’s first impressions of these characters in this crazy ep! Buddy’s a drunk! Tim’s a stand up guy! Tami is losin it! Enjoy :)

We’re making a huge splash into Season 2 with this sizzling season opener! This week Carley and Monica are joined by the charming Krista Doyle (@krista_doyle) of the Holy Swift Podcast (@holyswiftpodcast) to break down the hottest gossip of the episode. Whether it’s Captaining the S.S. TaTas, getting baptized, or accidentally committing murder...this episode has everything you could hope for and more. The ladies break down the trials of brand new momma Tammy, an absent Eric, a sass queen Julie, and one very very sweaty Swede. Join us in this packed episode as we kick off the next season of TX Forever!

It was such a joy getting to chat with Aasha Davis (@aashadavis)! She shares how her passion for improv was a perfect fit for Friday Night Lights (and just such a valuable life skill in general), getting to work with Gaius Charles and Minka Kelly, falling in love with Austin and its community, and we bond over keeping tunnel vision when it comes to our creative passions.

***Remember that TX Talks contain spoilers!

We also talk reality TV, Drunk History, and how we should all grab drinks and be wing women for each other so we can find our own Smash. Enjoy!!

WE’RE GOING TO STATE! In this pinnacle episode Carley and Monica cover the Panther’s State Championship in a hilarious and slightly teary farewell to Season 1. This week’s tangents feature high school trips, the human rights laws of good steak and good tv, and an emotional reflection on our journey through this trying year and wonderful podcast season. Not to mention we finally get to discuss a pregnant Tammy, a car full of Colettes and Landry, some unbeatable football (and TV) moments, and a PANTHER WIN!!

Join us this week in the final episode of season 1, and stick around for our super exciting announcement at the end of the episode! Follow on Facebook, IG, and Twitter @TXForeverpod

It’s the penultimate ep of Season 1 y’all!
