The Sunset Lounge DFW

What happens when your podcast starts with tangled wires, hot towel confessions, and ends with a K-Pop movie dethroning Scorsese on someone’s top-five list? That’s right — it’s another week in The Clubhouse Podcast. Rob and Alex unpack a sports-stuffed episode with their trademark blend of humor, heart, and chaos. From the Dodgers vs. Blue Jays World Series showdown to college football’s surprise...

No one wants to hear about your fantasy team, or your kids athletic exploits in select sports. However - Mac tried something different to see what would happen. Can a fantasy football team full of nothing but white dudes win a game?

Norm laces up his hiking boots for one of the Cowboys’ toughest climbs yet — a trip to Denver, where the air is thin and the pass rush is thick. In this episode of Just Wondering, Norm breaks down the brutal matchup between Dallas and the Broncos, spotlighting a defense that leads the league in sacks and a young quarterback, Bo Nix, who’s learning how to win ugly. With stats, storytelling, and a d...

Norm Hitzges grabs a bat, a calculator, and a fainting couch to process Shohei Ohtani’s “are-you-kidding-me” clincher: six scoreless with 10 punchouts and three moonshots to broom Milwaukee and send the Dodgers to the Fall Classic. Greatest single game by any pro ballplayer… ever? Norm makes the case—with tape-measure receipts, history comps, and a reminder why the Dodgers cut a $700M check withou...

Bri and Ziggy talk about hockey and Ziggy says a bad word about women. Community fridge rules are simple “don’t touch my stuff”. Ziggy goes on a rant about his favorite team after a win. Ziggy likes a stout and it’s golden. Roommates are overrated, or are they? They talk about the White House construction and Bri has a soapbox, who knew. Oh and not one mention of Swifty Chapters  00:00:00 - The Su...

Norm Hitzges wakes up on a Monday just wondering if Jerry Jones might’ve accidentally told the truth. After the Cowboys outgunned the Commanders in a game that went from “uh oh” to “oh wow” in three plays, Norm takes us through the anatomy of a good ol’ fashioned Dallas redemption arc — complete with Dak Prescott magic, George Pickens highlights, and the Cowboys briefly looking like they actually...

Norm takes a long, exasperated look at what used to be the pride of the NFL — the NFC East — and now looks more like a neighborhood HOA argument with shoulder pads. The Eagles can’t stop anyone, the Commanders forgot how to command, the Giants exist (barely), and Jerry Jones is out here celebrating 83 with optimism so strong it might need to be drug-tested. But Norm doesn’t stop at the gridiron. H...

Mac talked to singer/actress, director, writer, editor Tane McClure about her fascinating career and life. A music career that started when she was 17 morphed into movies, TV, Legally Blonde, Cinemax After Dark, Days of Our Lives and seemingly everything in entertainment. She did it all. 00:00 – 🎤 Meet Tané McClure: Rocker, actress, editor… and the real-life definition of “plot twist.”

In this Episode of Just Wondering, Norm tackles a frustrating reality for Cowboys fans: Dak Prescott might be having the best season of his career… and it still might not matter. With surgical precision (and a dash of disbelief), Norm dissects how the Cowboys’ historically bad defense is wasting an MVP-caliber performance from Dak — a quarterback now rivaling Aikman, Romo, and Staubach in the reco...

 Bri and Ziggy talk about upsets. Is Ziggy the jinx? Bri thinks Ziggy has a gambling problem, but it’s only a problem if you always lose. Ziggy admits he listened to the Album and Bri tells him there’s more. Bri is always thinking about roofies. Halloween isn’t what it used to be, and Ziggy wants everyone to go drink and touch grass.  Chapters 00:00:00 - Intro & Beer of the Episode: Clown Shoe...

In this thought-provoking episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges tackles the harsh reality facing the Dallas Cowboys: a team with the league’s top offense — and the worst defense money can buy. After another collapse against Carolina, Norm breaks down how the Cowboys’ inability to make stops has forced Dak Prescott and company into weekly shootouts just to stay alive. He calls out the painful “Re...

Mac was born in Cincinnati… and cursed 🐅 A lifelong Bengals fan, he’s endured decades of pain, heartbreak, and dashed hope. From near-misses to “maybe next years,” the misery runs deep — so deep it inspired him to create his own Top 10 Worst Sports Franchises To Be Born Into as a Fan. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – 🎢 The Emotional Rollercoaster of Being a Bengals Fan 03:08 – 🏆 The Hunt for Rare Sports Mem...

Norm Hitzges is back and wondering—do Cowboys fans really know who’s holding this team together behind the scenes? This episode starts with some well-deserved love for two unsung heroes: offensive line coach Connor Riley and receivers coach Junior Adams, who somehow turned a patchwork lineup of backups into a 37–22 beatdown of the Jets. Norm dives into the brilliance (and borderline wizardry) it t...

Norm Hitzges is wondering — and not quietly — how the Texas Rangers went from World Series champs to looking like they misplaced their offense in a junk drawer. In this episode, Norm breaks down the mess General Manager Chris Young finds himself in: a team that can pitch but can’t hit, an owner allergic to the luxury tax, and a farm system that’s about as fertile as a parking lot. He calls it “the...

Bri’s back like she never left — and Ziggy’s been holding down the barstool in her absence. This week’s Beer 30 Sports O’Clock is part therapy session, part sports rant, and part haunted house confessional. Bri breaks down her favorite tracks from THE Album (yes, that one) and her wild trip to Florida, where she somehow missed the game but didn’t miss the jump scares. Ziggy’s convinced her horror-...

Norm Hitzges is fresh from MetLife Stadium — and if you’re a Jets fan, you might want to cover your eyes. In this episode of Just Wondering, Norm breaks down the Cowboys’ 37–22 beatdown of the New York Jets with all the charm, humor, and brutal honesty we’ve come to love. From wearing his buddy’s Jets shirt (for “diplomatic reasons”) to watching fans file out of the stadium like it was a funeral,...

Rob and Alex are back in The Clubhouse broadcasting live from the Sunset Lounge DFW, and chaos reigns — in college football, the NFL, and apparently, Rob’s living room lighting setup. This week, the guys break down a wild weekend in NCAA Football where upsets were everywhere and Florida State’s loss wrecked more brackets than hearts. The NFL is just as unhinged: ties, turf injuries, fantasy heartb...

For this latest episode of The Engel Angle, Mac faces hard truths about getting older. Home projects are zero fun. Playing basketball is more hazardous to his health than a 6-pack of beer. He looks like a failed Presidential candidate. And there should be no shame in jamming out at the Dua Lipa concert. 00:01 - The Lies We Tell Ourselves About Aging and Fun 02:38 - The Frustrations of Modern Home...

Norm Hitzges dives headfirst into the misery that is New York Jets football—an endless carousel of quarterbacks, penalties, and heartbreak—now handed to new head coach Aaron Glenn. Can the former undersized cornerback bring real change, or is this franchise doomed by history? Along the way, Norm contrasts the Jets’ struggles with the Dallas Cowboys’ potential this season, offering sharp takes on w...

Norm chops it up with Mac Engel (Fort Worth Star-Telegram, professor of spicy takes) about everything from Pete Rose’s betting shadow to Dallas front-office math. They trade stories from the pre-internet days, then dive into the Rangers’ rebuild without a farm, the Cowboys’ Micah Parsons blockbuster and cap triage, and whether the Mavericks are zigging into defense in a league that zags to 3s. It’...
