The Funky Panther

Send us Fan Mail Coming off our high from our 100th episode and party, you know we had to do it big. So, what did we do for episode 101? We get Funky Town's very own Rap Godfather, @smoothvega to pull through and hangout in the studio. In this episode, we deep dive into the music promoter world, talk about @xbvalentine getting signed by @rocnation Tim jumps in with some news about @rollinglou...

Send us Fan Mail The one, the only, BenCJones ( @bencjonesmusic ) joins us in the studio for a chance to get to know the man behind Just One Gun and to talk about his new album "High Beams, Back Roads and Hi-Fi" which you can currently find on Bandcamp.  He also brought us a game to help us in our quest to find out who is The Funkiest Panther. Tim and Javier are pretty sure Chad cheated...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes you gotta do "10 shots" and crank up Ernie Mode to get yourself in the right mood when you're going out. Sometimes you gotta do "10 shots" in the studio with the man himself @itsernie__ If you haven't caught on yet, we did "10 shots" with Itsernie in the studio.... In this episode: We had the opportunity to hang out with Itsernie a...

Send us Fan Mail Look, not every episode is a hit.... We get it. Let me take a minute to be honest with you. This episode SLAPS!(do people still say that?) We won Readers Choice Fort Worth Magazine's Best of 2022 for the 2nd year in a row! Thanks to all of you that made this happen. We are incredibly grateful and Chad said he will take every single one of you on a trip! Ok, I lied about that...

Send us Fan Mail Look, this episode is not like our normal guest episodes. We typically interview the guest and get to know them. This episode was less of a podcast or interview and more of a hangout with one of our favorite musicians, Lou CharLe$( @loucharlestx ) In this episode, we talk about whatever is on our minds. We revisit the last time Lou was on and finally know why Kendrick Lamar was in...

Send us Fan Mail Thanks to all the hard work by our friend Robyn( @ramblin.roam ) of @corksincowtown .

Be on the look out for a special promo video featuring Chad and Javier. In this episode we catch you up on all the fun things that have been happening. Chad...

Send us Fan Mail Who needs The Avengers? This is the cross-over you all have been waiting for! Seriously, someone told us that and we are running with it. We are joined in the studio by our favorite Champagne Aunt, Robyn ( @ramblin.roam ) of @corksincowtown . This is by far, the longest episode we have ever dropped and probably the funniest, most candid conversation to date. In this episode. Robyn...

Send us Fan Mail What's happening? Why are we dropping an episode on Saturday? Are we going to start dropping 2 episodes a week? To answer your questions. We recorded twice this week. We had a chance to grab 3 amazing guests this past week and no, we are not dropping 2 episodes a week. We are barely holding it together with once a week as it is..... Okay,  the last part is not entirely accura...

Send us Fan Mail Like Javier says "nothing but illustrious guests" on The Funky Panther and this show is bringing the heat. We are joined in the studio by Alec Jhangiani of Fortress Presents. We get all the details on WIld Acre Live and Fortress Presents. We also have an amazing concert ticket giveaway happening. Make sure you follow our instagram for all the details! In this episode Tim...

Send us Fan Mail The Funky Panther had to take off a week for a production meeting. This episode is a direct result of said meeting. It's honestly our best episode yet. Do you wanna know who we would "smash or Pass" in regards to 90's hunks and Ed Bass? What about Javier's opinions on dueling art shows in Fort Worth? Hope you like offensive language. In this episode. We ge...

Send us Fan Mail Do you know what a Squeezebox is? What about a Bandit/s? What happens if you put those words together? I'll tell you what happens.

In this episode, the guys recount their past week adventures, S...

Send us Fan Mail Just like I said last episode. We love having purveyors of wonderful food and this week is no different. We had the honor of having Jonny White of @goldeesbbq in the studio. Have I mention they're ranked number 1 by Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ?  Do you know what a "Jirby" is? What about "who's Goldee"? We ask all these hard hitting questions and much mor...

Send us Fan Mail It's no surprise that we love food. It's also no surprise that we like to have purveyors of excellent food on our show. I think you can see where I'm going with this. If not, I'm gonna spell it out for you. We have the amazing chef and owner of @righteousfoods as well as @fantasmakitchens , Lanny Lancarte! In this episode, the bois get the chance to pick the br...

Send us Fan Mail As much as we loved being on the road and doing live, on location shows. It's nice to be back home and in our own studio. You know what I'm talking about, right? It's kinda like when you get to sleep in your own bed after being gone for a week.... Speaking of being at home in your own bed. Have y'all heard of "goblin mode"? No? Neither did most of us...

Send us Fan Mail We had such an amazing time this past weekend. If you didn't know, the bois were in Austin for SXSW! This would not have happened if it wasn't for our friends @visitfortworth , @hearfortworth , and @filmfortworth . They did such an amazing job taking over @containerbar_atx and bringing a little bit of Fort.......Who am I kidding, They brought all of Fort Worth to Austin!...

AN ADULT SPELLING BEE?!?!?!?!?! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! WHO THE HELL APPROVED THIS???????...

Send us Fan Mail If you listened/watched this episode live, then you know we recorded this on palindrome day. Hence the title of this episode. If you are catching this later ... We appreciate you. However, we would recommend catching us live on YouTube. In this episode, we fill you in on some of the things we have coming up. Javier comes up with his own palindromes. Spoiler: he doesn't actual...

Send us Fan Mail Fort Worth is an amazing city and to be honest. DFW in general is pretty damn awesome when it comes to food. So, you better believe The Funky Panther boy's jumped at the opportunity to go on a food adventure all over Denton and Fort Worth with one of our favorite foodies. Nostalgic pizza from our childhood, awesome beers from @armadilloaleworks , fantastic Mexican food, and s...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever wanted to hurt in the best way possible? Maybe you're looking for a gym that's not like every other gym in town. Do you want to feel like you're part of an inclusive family that motivates you to get up and move? How about fulfilling your dream of competing in Strongman competitions? Just know, @panthercitystrength has you covered!  The boy's had a...

Send us Fan Mail Have you noticed all the "old" music pushing all the "new" music out of the way? Has TikTok brought you down memory lane recently with all this great, "older" music? Is it safe to say, music of your youth just hit's? All this and much more can be found if you just listen to us. In this episode Chad brings up a music question, Stark brings us more...

Send us Fan Mail Look, I get it. The title of this episode is a bit strange and doesn't make any sense.....for now. You gotta listen to the episode and it will make perfect sense. If I'm being honest, we are probably going to hit some weird algorithm, strange people are going to flood our comment section. It's probably going to get really weird. You can thank @justjourdyne for that....
