Ziggy makes a hard call, Bri leaves us hanging with a cliffhanger list, and—wait for it—Ziggy actually enjoys a sour. 🍻 College football is finally back, and Ziggy’s hyped (even if his son couldn’t care less). From debating mascots to dunking on the Texas Longhorns hype train, Ziggy lays out his Top 10 college football programs and why the championship might feel like déjà vu. Meanwhile, Bri adds...

Norm Hitzges sits down with longtime Cowboys radio voice (and former NFL quarterback) Babe Laufenberg to talk about where America’s Team really stands heading into the season—and yes, it’s a little more complicated than the hype would have you believe.

The Texas Rangers are leading the American League in pitching and fielding… and dead last in keeping fans from yelling at their TVs. In this episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges breaks down how a team with arms of gold and gloves of steel can still find itself stuck in the mud thanks to an offense that’s asleep at the wheel. With 42 games left and a schedule that doesn’t care about your feeling...

Bri and Ziggy are back at it, cracking open cold ones and hotter takes. This week, they dive headfirst into the WNBA’s bag policies (because nothing says “game day vibes” like a purse inspection), Ziggy vents about his team like it just stole his lunch money, and everyone watches Shador Sanders ball out—only for him to still catch disrespect. Meanwhile, Mahomes does what Mahomes does, and the Bill...

Why...

What happens when you get fired from TV, have no backup plan, and then stumble into a chance meeting that changes your life? If you’re Norm Hitzges, you build a 50-year career in sports talk radio—and somehow still remember the exact moment it all started (and the exact amount of rage you felt at the time). In this celebratory episode of Just Wondering, Norm takes us back to the day that kicked of...

It’s another Thursday night in the Clubhouse, and you know what that means—Rob, Alex, and Don Ford are back with another episode packed tighter than a Red Zone highlight reel on a Sunday afternoon.

Will we be shelling out $30 a month to watch a midseason...

What happens when three high school buddies—who once argued over cassette tapes and Colts games—grow up to live the dream they once only talked about in radio class? This episode of Sunset Lounge brings you the answer. Mack Engel is joined by his longtime friends and fellow North Central High School grads Jake Query and Adam Alexander for the first of a two-part reunion special that dives into the...

Bri has a confession. Ziggy has disappointment. And the Westlake Brewing flight? That might’ve been the real MVP of the night. In this episode, the crew cracks open a fresh one and dives headfirst into the unexpected—starting with the NFL season opener that actually delivered, and ending with Bri… well… not quite making it through the episode. (Should Ziggy have known better? Yes. Yes, he should’v...

Norm's Just Wondering, as he sits down with the guy who knows more about the Texas Rangers than your group chat ever will—Evan Grant, longtime beat reporter at The Dallas Morning News and a walking, talking baseball encyclopedia.

Norm—equal parts sage, sports savant, and snark connoisseur—unpacks the Cowb...

Is it just us... or are the Dallas Cowboys doing everything but paying Micah Parsons? In this episode, Norm Hitzges dives headfirst into the swirling drama at Cowboys training camp, where the Jones family seems to think negotiating is best done through passive-aggressive press quotes and questionable math.
