Welcome back to Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, where reality, logic, and actual numbers take a back seat to Cowboys optimism and ESPN’s interpretive math. In today's episode, Norm dives head-first into the financial fever dream that is the Dallas Cowboys' upcoming offseason—specifically how they plan to keep newly beloved star wide receiver George Pickens, who has played so well that Jerry Jone...

It’s the Friday after Thanksgiving, and Norm is full of turkey, family time, and—for the first time in a while—something that resembles Cowboys optimism. After an electric win over Kansas City, Norm breaks down why Dallas suddenly looks like a postseason threat… if they can claw their way into the playoffs. From third-down brilliance and wide-receiver chaos to a surprisingly clean game from Dak an...

Holiday week or not, Rob’s not leaving the Clubhouse empty—he’s rolling tape on a live Dallas Comic Show Q&A with actor, voice artist, and full-on nerd icon Reno Wilson. From his first big break on The Cosby Show to flirting with triple-digit IMDb credits, Reno talks Transformers voice work, Final Fantasy fandom, Mike & Molly’s family atmosphere (and its bizarre TV “grandma” record), worki...

It’s Thanksgiving week, which means football, family, and pretending you’re not silently judging everyone at the table. On today’s episode of Just Wondering, Norm asks the big seasonal question: What on earth is going on with the Kansas City Chiefs? Are they collapsing? Are the Cowboys suddenly good? Are we all sleep-deprived and delusional? Quite possibly yes on all counts. Norm breaks down playo...

 Bri and Ziggy discuss Thanksgiving, is it a good holiday or is it the disappointment of holidays? Bri realizes adulting sucks and Ziggy talks fake news about Cartels and NILs. Bri is gonna miss Garcia on The Rangers. Ziggy celebrates Hyrox in Dallas and his pull up abilities. He comes to the realization that the Wings might be lucky or got it rigged. Can we all admit, sides are the main dish and...

It’s Monday, November 24th, and today Norm is just wondering: when was the last time the Dallas Cowboys delivered a win that made fans scream, throw things, swear they were done, and then pretend they believed all along? Because after falling behind 21–0 — complete with a failed fourth-down attempt, a fumbled punt, multiple drops, and enough self-inflicted pain to qualify as performance art — some...

Welcome back to The Clubhouse Podcast, where the sports are real, the predictions are questionable, and the Christmas decorations go up way too early. This week, Rob, Alex, and Don debate the truly important things in life: whether Christmas lights belong before Thanksgiving, why Banana Ball is slowly taking over the universe, and how the NFL expects anyone to predict games when teams play like th...

It’s Friday, November 21st, and Norm Hitzges is just wondering if this might actually be the perfect time for the Cowboys to catch the Eagles. With All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson sidelined and the Philly offensive line suddenly mortal, Norm digs into just how much one lineman has meant to a franchise that’s gone 96–41 with him and 12–23 without him. He walks through the Eagles’ strange season:...

Recapping Wins over Paraguay and Uruguay for the USMNT Daniel Robertson joins the show this week to discuss the USMNT’s 2-1 win over Paraguay and 5-1 win over Uruguay in their final matches of 2025. What do the wins mean for the team’s 2026 World Cup aspirations, and what players helped their case to be on the roster next June? Tune in to hear Tyler Kern and Daniel Robertson break it all down. 

Norm is just wondering whether Cowboys fans should actually be excited after that Monday Night Football beatdown — or if we should all calm down because, well… it was the Raiders. Dak looks sensational, the offense is rolling, the defense finally remembered football exists, and suddenly the playoff window isn’t totally boarded shut. Plus, Norm takes a chaotic stroll through the wild world of colle...

Bri and Ziggy talk about the trailer for the Taylor Swift Documentary and why the Swifties are upset. Yes that was a real conversation. YouTube Tv and ESPN are back and Ziggy is rejoicing or ranting, can’t tell the difference nowadays. Ziggy likes Scottish ale or does he. Nico is gone, is Dirk the answer to bring back Luka? Ziggy doesn’t believe you can blackout from just beer Bri begs to differ a...

Today on Just Wondering, Norm wakes up and chooses violence — politely — by asking Cowboy fans a simple, soul-shaking question: Do you realize how catastrophically important tonight’s game is? Win, and hope survives. Lose, and we’re talking mock drafts, emotional support queso, and whether tanking is a strategy or a coping mechanism. Norm also wonders how in the name of burnt orange pride we’ve ar...

On this episode of The Clubhouse Podcast, Rob spends the first few minutes flying solo and battling technical gremlins before Alex arrives just in time to prove microphones are still optional.

Norm Hitzges is just wondering what’s next for the Dallas Mavericks after the Luka and Nico departures—and how colleges keep cutting massive checks to fired football coaches. From rebuilding around Cooper Flagg and Derek Lively to jaw-dropping buyouts like Jimbo Fisher’s $77 million payday, Norm breaks down how sports franchises and universities handle their biggest (and priciest) mistakes. The Ma...

Ziggy and Bri talk about NFL trades. NBA temper tantrums. Another coach has been fired. Michael Jackson biopic trailer, is Bri from Gary Indiana? Cans are better than glass but product placement. Betting scandals are starting to become a normal thing. Will civil suits begin? Commanders new stadium name possibility and is it roller derby or not? Seriously.

Norm Hitzges is just wondering if the Mavericks fan base can finally start to heal now that GM Nico Harrison is gone. From trading Luka Doncic to the Lakers to the injuries that derailed the dream, Norm dives into how one decision turned Dallas upside down. He revisits the highs of Nico’s tenure—the Finals run, savvy trades, and gutsy calls—and the crash that followed. Now, with Luka thriving in L...

On this episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges sits down with longtime Texas Rangers beat reporter Evan Grant to examine one of the most pivotal offseasons the franchise has faced in years. With Bruce Bochy and Mike Maddox gone, Skip Schumacher stepping in, and payroll reductions looming, the Rangers must decide whether they are still building to contend—or preparing to reset. Evan offers candid...

Today, Norm takes a deep breath, stares directly into the abyss, and asks the question Cowboys fans probably should be asking: how exactly is Dallas going to pay for anyone next season? With the salary cap projected at $307 million and the Cowboys already basically using that to cover nine players and a pile of dead money, things are… well… tight. Norm breaks down the massive cap hits coming for D...

Welcome back to The Clubhouse Podcast, where the countdown froze, Alex disappeared into the digital void, and Don defends “It’s a Small World” like it’s the Alamo. Rob hates the ride. Don says it’s historic. Alex just tries to stay connected to the internet. Once everyone’s systems reboot, the guys dive into the World Series, NFL madness, unexpected movie rampages, and a K-Pop Demon Hunter interve...
