The Rambling Gypsy

When a sunset photo opportunity on a yacht in Cabo turns into an unexpected vanishing act, you know you're in for one of Kel's legendary mishap stories. Fresh from her summer travels, Kel rejoins Tiffany at the Frog Pond to share the tale of how she mysteriously fell through an opening in a yacht while trying to capture the perfect sunset shot—without hitting a single stair on her way down—resulting in what friends unsympathetically dubbed a "yachting injury."The conversation flows as freely as Tiffany's notoriously potent margaritas (which later caused Kel to press her face against an elevator wall during a particularly challenging workday). Between fits of laughter, the duo catches up on community flood recovery efforts and Birdie's health struggles while Kel was away on her numerous summer adventures.Family vacation stories take center stage as Kel recounts her twelve-day journey with husband Shiloh, two sons, and her mother through Chicago and St. Louis. Highlights include Riley's failed attempt to sneak into premium seats at Wrigley Field (thwarted by the vigilant security guard Joyce), experiencing the mind-blowing "Flyover" attraction that simulates soaring above Chicago, and adopting what Shiloh calls "Red Line mentality" during a heated subway confrontation. The St. Louis portion of their trip revealed a less glamorous side of travel, with Kel describing streets that made her "walk on her tippies" and the bizarre City Museum with its school bus hanging from the roof.Despite all the mishaps and close quarters with family for twelve days, these summer adventures created memories worth sharing—and a reminder that sometimes the most entertaining stories come from vacation fails rather than picture-perfect moments. Check out this episode for a guaranteed laugh and perhaps some reassurance that your own vacation disasters aren't so bad after all!The Rambling Gypsy podcast is a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of real Texans doing real sh*t.

A lemur attack leaves one of us with 25 facial stitches and a story that defies belief. What started as an ordinary day turned into a medical emergency when Fiona the lemur, apparently jealous, decided to take matters into her own teeth.The resulting injuries required immediate medical attention, leading to a comical yet frightening visit to what could only be described as "the smallest ER I've ever seen in my life," complete with DIY medical lighting and trainee nurses practicing suture techniques. Between emergency procedures, pain medication, and somehow still making it to a PBR event with face wounds leaking, this experience redefined what it means to be "ride or die" friends.Beyond the initial trauma lies a deeper story about animal behavior, the realities of exotic animal ownership, and the difficult decisions that come with it. We candidly discuss the painful choice to rehome Fiona after a second aggressive incident made it clear rehabilitation wasn't possible. "It never gets any better. It sucks every single time. But you can't risk yourself, you can't risk your children."The healing journey continues with Steri-Strips becoming "part of the costume," makeup challenges, and the unexpected compliment that brought laughter: "I just thought it was part of your aesthetic." Through it all, we emphasize the critical importance of taking animal injuries seriously—infections can track quickly, and delaying treatment can lead to life-threatening complications.If there's one takeaway from this wild misadventure, it's that prevention and immediate action are key when dealing with animal incidents. And perhaps equally important: find friends who will not only drive you to the ER but will also still take you to see cowboys afterward—face wounds and all.Subscribe for more tales from our chaotic adventures, and remember to keep your guard up around animals, no matter how well you think you know them.The Rambling Gypsy podcast is a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of real Texans doing real sh*t.

Some mornings start with plans and end with emergency plastic surgery. What began as a typical day preparing for a trip to the PBR event suddenly became life-threatening when Tiffany's pet lemur Fiona launched an unprovoked attack on her face.Without warning, the usually playful lemur transformed into a predator, leaving Tiffany bleeding profusely from facial wounds dangerously close to a main artery. The podcast takes listeners through the chaotic aftermath – from Nic's near-fainting episode to the mad dash for appropriate medical care. The journey continues with a vodka-fueled road trip to San Antonio, an emergency driver switch at a motorcycle shop, and finally arriving at a hospital where the staff was already expecting "the lemur attack." Listeners will laugh along as Tiffany recounts the surreal hospital experience where her attractive male nurse and friend discovered shared motorcycle interests while she bled on the table, and her German plastic surgeon immediately identified the "Diet Coke" in her cup as something potentially stronger.Throughout the harrowing experience, Tiffany's trademark humor shines through – from her determination to still make it to the PBR event with cowboys waiting, to Nic fleeing the room when medical terms like "face flap" entered the conversation. This episode serves as both a cautionary tale about exotic pet ownership and a testament to the power of friendship, emergency contacts, and having the right specialists on speed dial.Join us for this wild ride that proves once again that Tiffany's life truly is the ultimate "shit show" – in the most entertaining way possible.

Two bearded musicians with fun-loving spirits walk into a podcast, and what unfolds is pure Texas musical magic. Manzy Lowry and Mike Newman bring their authentic voices and creative wisdom to the Rambling Gypsy Podcast, sharing the story of their unexpected friendship.Through captivating stories of their musical journeys, these two talented songwriters reveal the beautiful contrasts in their creative approaches. Mike embraces the distinction between artists and performers, noting that inspiration strikes when it chooses: "When I want to write, I'll write, and when I have something to say, I'll put it down." Meanwhile, Manzy speaks to the therapeutic power of songwriting during low moments: "Let that ink bleed on paper, because it's therapy... Once you release it, it no longer has a hold on you."The magic happens when these different approaches merge. Despite their varied styles, they meet in the middle – challenging and complementing each other to create something neither would have written alone. As they demonstrate through live performances, including "Narrow Ain't So Straight" (written in just 15 minutes from three random prompts), their creative chemistry produces something uniquely beautiful.Beyond their personal partnership, the conversation explores the special musical community in New Braunfels, Texas – a place where impromptu jam sessions happen under 500-year-old cypress trees, where established musicians gather to decompress and create. These musical havens serve as crucial spaces "where wanderers can go decompress, relax and create," highlighting the importance of supportive environments for artistic expression.Whether you're a musician, a creative spirit, or simply someone who appreciates authentic connection, this conversation offers a window into the heart of Texas music culture – where friendship, spontaneity, and genuine expression create something truly special. Listen in and discover why sometimes the most beautiful songs begin with a simple connection between two artists who see the world a little differently.The Rambling Gypsy podcast is a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of real Texans doing real sh*t.

The conversation takes a profound turn as he reveals the transformative moments at ages 27, 33, and 35 that shaped his approach to life and creativity. "I learned I didn't have to get an attaboy from anybody or impress somebody," he explains, describing how looking himself in the mirror led to greater authenticity.Both Tiffany and Manzy connect over their deep bonds with animals, sharing touching stories about horses that recognize their presence from a distance and cattle that respond to their unique energy. These connections reveal a language beyond words – the same vibration that connected Tiffany and Manzy from their first meeting.The discussion challenges conventional notions of selfishness, reframing self-care as essential rather than indulgent. "If you don't have yourself, how can you have it?" Manzy asks, prompting reflection on how we show up for ourselves and others. Their conversation reveals how both have served as emotional catalysts for others, creating safe spaces for vulnerability through direct questions and authentic presence.The episode culminates with two moving acoustic performances as Manzy shares original songs "Narrow Ain't So Straight" and "Age," demonstrating his raw talent for translating life experience into poetic expression.

When Kell admits, "I've been missing, I've been sad, I've been checked out," we're reminded how deeply personal struggles can temporarily dim even the brightest spirits.Meanwhile, Tiffany recounts a frustrating run-in with local law enforcement after her teenage nephew (aka Kell's son) was pulled over on his e-bike. What follows is an enlightening and occasionally maddening exploration of confusing vehicle regulations that vary wildly between counties. Her investigation reveals that these expensive e-bikes are essentially "worthless" outside private property—information that would have been helpful before purchase! This story highlights the absurd gray areas in many local ordinances and the challenges of navigating them.The conversation takes another turn when Kell shares her experience treating her dog's severe snake bite, forcing her to practice medical skills you wouldn't think a math teacher has.

The raw passion of pursuing music against all odds takes center stage as Bo Brummel joins Tiffany Foy in her "she shed" for a candid, laughter-filled conversation that traces his unlikely path to Texas stages.Bo pulls back the curtain on his musical journey that began at age five singing in church, influenced by a grandfather who played piano and briefly performed in bands. With disarming honesty, he recounts the crossroads where he abandoned thoughts of baseball and law school to follow his musical calling, despite coming from East Texas towns where "it's not a place that encourages dreamers." The financial struggles of his early career – sometimes down to "ten dollars to my name and one pack of ramen noodles" – reveal the sacrifice behind the spotlight.The conversation shifts to the formation of Timber Wilde with Garrett Mann, a musical partnership that blossomed from casual jam sessions to recording original music. Bo shares the surprising story behind their current single "Bones," inspired by watching his 13-year-old French Bulldog Daphne sleeping with her toys. This moment of everyday observation transformed into songwriting magic as he composed most of the track in just an hour – though he admits needing Garrett's help to figure out how to play what he'd written.Listeners are treated to a glimpse of the vibrant New Braunfels music scene, where artists regularly join each other onstage spontaneously, creating unexpected musical moments. The episode culminates with Bo performing an acoustic version of "Bones," showcasing his distinctive raspy vocals that Tiffany playfully warns female listeners about experiencing while their significant others are present.Whether you're a musician, an animal lover, or someone chasing dreams against practical advice, Bo's story reminds us that authentic passion resonates far beyond conventional success.

When life serves up heartbreak, true friendship becomes the medicine that heals our deepest wounds. In this raw and revealing episode, Tiffany welcomes back her best friend friend Kel to the she-shed for a conversation that touches every emotional note on the spectrum.What begins as lighthearted catching up—Kel's dramatic hair transformation and tales of Tiffany's upcoming SPF 90 Tour—gradually unveils something much more profound. For the first time publicly, Tiffany courageously shares her painful journey through separation after discovering her husband's extensive infidelity spanning eight years and multiple women. Her vulnerability offers powerful wisdom: "Life is too short to be married to an asshole," speaking directly to anyone who's ever stayed too long in a relationship that diminishes their worth.Between emotional revelations, the conversation takes delightfully unexpected turns. We learn about the traditions behind Mardi Gras king cakes (including why finding the baby inside is both lucky and costly), the absurdity of Animal Control investigating Tiffany's well-cared-for lemur Fiona (only to discover the officer was connected to her childhood friend), and their upcoming adventures in Fredericksburg wine country.This episode beautifully demonstrates how friendship creates safe spaces where we can be authentic, whether sharing tears over betrayal or laughing about emergency roadside bathroom breaks. Through it all, Tiffany reminds us that no matter how hard the rain falls on our parade, we always have the choice to dust off our pom-poms and keep dancing.Join us for this emotional rollercoaster that will leave you reflecting on your own relationships while feeling like you've just shared a glass of wine with your closest friends.

What makes a life in music truly meaningful? Dallas Burrow's story might just change your perspective on success, creativity, and purpose.Sitting in Tiffany's "she shed" studio, Dallas opens up about growing up in New Braunfels with deep family roots that trace back to 1797. His musical journey began naturally—a father who wrote songs, a grandmother who taught piano, and his first job at the iconic Lone Star Float House at just 12 years old, where he witnessed artists like Ryan Bingham playing for tips long before fame struck.The conversation takes a profound turn as Dallas shares his path to sobriety—a turning point after his son's birth when he realized his lifestyle wasn't sustainable for the father and husband he wanted to be. Six years clean, Dallas reflects on how quitting alcohol and drugs coincided with the most successful period of his career, challenging the stereotype that creativity requires chemical enhancement. "It's the magic bullet for anybody looking to improve their life," he says of sobriety, "Getting healthy, getting sober, finding God—they all go hand in hand."Beyond personal transformation, Dallas reveals the inspiration behind Redbird Listening Room—a venue born from his reverence for songwriting and early experiences at songwriter circles. The intimate space offers what's increasingly rare: an environment where music isn't background noise but the central focus, where stories matter and artists connect directly with audiences.Perhaps most thought-provoking is Dallas's perspective on music itself—that creating doesn't have to be monetized to be valuable. "Participating in the act of writing music and playing music just for the pure pleasure of doing it is enough," he insists, offering liberation to creators caught in the pressure to turn passion into profit.Check out Dallas Burrow's music and tour dates at dallasburrow.com, and experience the magic of songwriter showcases at the Redbird Listening Room next time you're in New Braunfels.

Just ask Danielle, who along with her husband Jason, moved to Fredericksburg intending to slow down, only to find themselves building a mini-empire of beloved local businesses.Sitting in the rustic beauty of The Barn at Rock House—a historic property dating back to 1911 with original wood preserved throughout—Tiffany Foy kicks off the Rambling Gypsy podcast's SPF 90 "Wondering Series" tour with a revealing conversation about small business resilience in the face of corporate expansion."Main Street is only business owners. They don't let corporate America in on Main Street," Danielle explains, touching on what makes Fredericksburg special. This dedication to preserving local character becomes even more impressive when you learn that The Velvet Lounge—their karaoke bar and now pizza spot—opened quite literally the day COVID lockdowns began.From blowing up balloons to make empty spaces look occupied to navigating the unexpected boom in bachelorette parties during a time when actual weddings were postponed, Danielle shares the creative pivots that kept their dreams alive. The conversation weaves through their expansion from karaoke bar to adding a buzzworthy pizza kitchen featuring a cauliflower crust with hot honey that's generating serious word-of-mouth.The 20-acre Barn at Rock House property, just one mile from Main Street, now serves as a sports bar, event venue, and B&B with accommodations for up to 22 people.

There's something remarkable about a family legacy that survives across generations, transformation, and even prohibition. In this captivating conversation with Todd from Elk Store in Fredericksburg, Texas, we uncover the extraordinary journey that began when his 14-year-old great-grandfather arrived alone from Moravia in 1895, speaking no English, and eventually established the original Elk Store.Todd reveals how his family's history during prohibition inspired his own venture into distilling after decades in the wine industry. Having witnessed Fredericksburg's evolution from a sleepy town with just two wineries in the early 1990s to a destination attracting millions of visitors annually, Todd has intentionally preserved something increasingly rare – a business built on craftsmanship rather than scale.Unlike most distilleries that focus on a signature product, Elk Store embraces the speakeasy concept by producing everything from whiskey and vodka to their famous pecan pie moonshine (based on Todd's grandmother's recipe). Their exquisite cocktail program, featuring house-squeezed juices, handmade syrups, and spectacular presentation, has created a following that keeps visitors returning time after time.Beyond spirits, Todd continues his négociant winemaking, collaborating with small family producers in France, Italy, Argentina, and California. His stories of working with vintners who step off tractors to unlock their wineries capture the authentic connections he values – a stark contrast to corporate wine experiences.As Fredericksburg faces increasing corporate development, Elk Store stands as a reminder of what makes small towns special: businesses where owners know your name, remember your favorite drink, and sometimes even receive your mail. Visit Elk Store to experience this unique blend of history, craftsmanship, and community that can only be found in Fredericksburg, where Todd and his team are preserving the art of hospitality one meticulously crafted cocktail at a time.https://elkstore1895.net/https://www.facebook.com/elkstore1895/#https://www.instagram.com/elkstore1895fbgThe Rambling Gypsy podcast is a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of real Texans doing real sh*t.

We learn about their dedicated winemaker and the team's attention to detail in everything from climate-controlled shipping to the subtle design elements on their labels.

From rattlesnakes to beaches, aging perspectives to the merits of novellas, our candid conversation with author George Midla dives deep into the creative process behind three published books.We explore Midla's personal favorite stories from his collections, including the emotional "Black Roads" inspired by a loss in Afghanistan, and "The Wish" - a potential children's book about a man and a mermaid that examines our tendency to overlook what we already possess. Midla's lifelong connection to the ocean permeates everything he writes, leading to a fascinating discussion about how environments shape storytelling.When Midla reads his short piece "Anne's Feet," it sparks a thoughtful examination of health versus beauty and societal expectations. This seamlessly flows into one of the most compelling segments where Midla shares his theory about fundamental differences between men and women - likening women to "onions with multiple layers" who approach situations from various perspectives, while men tend to see everything as "nails to be hammered." His observation that men soften emotionally with age reveals how time transforms our worldviews.The conversation concludes with exciting news about Midla's third book, "A Texas Treasure Tale," a novella that garnered impressive download numbers. Already three chapters into his next project, Midla reflects on how reading "some garbage" books motivated him to start writing again. Whether you're fascinated by creative processes, human psychology, or just enjoy authentic conversation that feels like eavesdropping on old friends, this episode delivers unexpected wisdom with Midla's signature ocean-deep perspective.• "Black Roads" made Midla cry while writing it and is dedicated to someone who lost their life in Afghanistan• "The Wish" is about a mermaid and explores how we wish for things we don't have instead of appreciating what we already possess• Midla's extensive experience with the ocean (surfing, sailing, scuba diving) naturally flows into his writing settings and themes• "Saltwater cures everything, whether it's tears, sweat or the sea" serves as a personal mantra• Reading of "Anne's Feet," a short story examining the difference between health and beauty through a woman's contemplation of her feet• Discussion on how men and women perceive the world differently – women as "multi-layered onions" viewing situations through different perspectives• How aging changes men: "When we get older, we soften up, we get more emotional"• Announcement of Midla's third book, "A Texas Treasure Tale," a novella that garnered 2,700 downloads in one day• Three chapters already written for a follow-up to his latest novellaThe Rambling Gypsy podcast is a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of real Texans doing real sh*t.

What does it mean to be truly, unapologetically yourself? Our conversation begins with a Christmas card that raised eyebrows—featuring our guest flipping double middle fingers—and evolves into a profound exploration of authentic self-expression.We dive deep into the creative process behind "From Love to War," a collection of short stories that blends autobiography with fiction. Unlike conventional writing approaches, these stories emerged from raw emotional terrain. "I spent a lot of time weeping over the freaking keyboard hammering out those stories," our guest reveals, offering a glimpse into the vulnerability required for meaningful creative work.The heart of our discussion centers around relationships and how we connect with others. Love, according to our guest, serves as "the great equalizer"—a force that transcends circumstance and social standing. Whether you're in a luxury hotel or a humble dwelling, that moment of genuine connection exists outside time and space. This refreshing perspective cuts through commercial Valentine's Day narratives and speaks to something more fundamental about human connection.Perhaps the most moving revelation comes when we discover parallel life philosophies. While our host lives by "leave a trail that everyone wants to follow," our guest writes, "I want to make a trail with words, a path no one has ever walked." This beautiful convergence highlights how we all seek to leave our unique mark on the world while creating something that resonates universally.Join us for this honest, sometimes irreverent conversation about creativity, relationships, mortality, and the space between birth and death that one guest describes simply as "magic and mayhem." What trail are you leaving behind?In this candid conversation, we explore authenticity in both creative expression and personal relationships, from unconventional Christmas cards to the emotional journey of writing deeply personal stories.• Discussion of a controversial Christmas card featuring middle finger gestures that perfectly captured authentic self-expression• Exploration of our guest's second book "From Love to War," a collection of short stories blending autobiography with fiction• Deep dive into the emotional vulnerability required in creative writing, with our guest admitting to "weeping over the keyboard"• Philosophical conversation about love as "the great equalizer" that transcends socioeconomic boundaries• Discovery of parallel life philosophies: "leave a trail everyone wants to follow" and "make a trail with words"• Thoughtful reflections on mortality, legacy, and how we want to be remembered• Honest discussion about failure, resilience, and sharing life lessons with younger generationsThe Rambling Gypsy podcast is a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of real Texans doing real sh*t.

Shawn Hart's creative journey is a testament to how passion can bloom in unexpected places. What began as a love for music—sparked by watching a classmate perform at a high school talent show—has now expanded into the literary world with his debut novel. Shawn's transition from guitarist to bassist to author reveals the beautiful interconnectedness of creative expressions.During our conversation, Shawn shares how he picked up guitar in high school, then later found himself playing bass with local musicians after moving to New Braunfels. The musical tangent leads to a fascinating revelation: his novel emerged not from a lifelong desire to write, but from his experience recording audiobooks for others. The desire to narrate his own audiobook became the catalyst for creating a story worth telling.Drawing from his four years working as an activity director in nursing homes, Shawn crafted a narrative centered on a college student named Olin who participates in an "adopt a grandparent" program and forms a relationship with a grumpy resident named Alf. The prologue Shawn reads during our conversation immediately hooks listeners with its suspenseful setup—the pair in a car with police lights flashing behind them, hinting at an adventure that takes them far beyond the nursing home walls.What's particularly inspiring about Shawn's writing journey is its organic nature. With no formal training or previous aspirations as an author, he simply began writing during late-night sessions between midnight and 4 AM. He shares valuable advice about embracing what the Duplass brothers call "the vomit draft"—putting words on paper without self-criticism—and the serendipitous meeting with an editor that transformed his manuscript into the polished work now available on Amazon.Whether you're a musician considering branching into new creative territories or someone with a story waiting to be told, Shawn's experience offers both motivation and practical insights into the self-publishing journey. Follow his musical performances and literary endeavors on Instagram @shawn__hart, and look for his novel "Real World" now available in digital and paperback formats.Episode Notes• Shawn began playing guitar in high school after being inspired by a classmate's performance• Transitioned to bass guitar when playing with Zach's band, which improved his overall musicianship• Worked as an activity director in nursing homes for four years, providing rich background for his novel• Started writing his book after recording audiobooks for others and wanting to create his own to narrate• Novel centers on a college student named Olin who befriends an elderly nursing home resident named Alf• The writing process took about a year from concept to publication• Found an editor by chance during a music tour who helped transform his manuscript• Self-published through Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing rather than pursuing traditional publishing• Currently working on recording the audiobook version himself• Plans to continue writing with future projects potentially based on his experiences in the music worldThe Rambling Gypsy podcast is a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of real Texans doing real sh*t.
