The Unrestricted With Vex and Quaalude

Well, another NFL season is in the books. Bob is sad, Walter loves Cerave commercials and Jeff thinks Jake Moody and Kyle Shanahan are a perfect match. We talk the commercials, we talk Tay Tay and we even meander around talking about statues and charitable giving.

Of course we talk about the Superbowl. Walter relives his greatest prognosticatory success and then goes angry on us. We talk some prop bets, and ponder a parlay between Travis K proposing and someone mentioning TayTay during their MVP speech. And we wrap it up with a discussion of a documentary about the making of "We Are The World" on Netflix.

Well, Walter has never heard of American Pie so we introduce him to the "one time at band camp" meme. We talk some Spurs information, and then we turn our attention to an entertaining NFL weekend with a bunch of story lines. Oh yeah, and them Jeff teaches us how to mew.

If you take a Gummy, just take one. The first one really does work, trust us. This is your PSA. Talk some Spurs and our stout defense, and then some NFL playoffs. Oh, we propose a different rule for fumbling a ball through the end zone.

Well, breaking news as we started recording that McCarthy was staying, so yeah, we talked about that. We also had some thoughts about the collapse. We talk about the Eagles collapse as well. Spurs pop up as we are all in wait mood for the next season at this point. San Antonio schools are cold and we go all Election Board and talk about the New Hampshire primary.

Well, the coaching carousel has become a carnival ride. At both the pro and college leve we had nothing but news this week. Saban and Belichick both move on. Oh My. Jeff tells us about Hell Camp and we help Jeff on watching football.

What a way to start off the new year. CFP Semi games did not disappoint. Instant Classics? Possibly. Cowboys get a late Christmas present from either the officiating crew or a cutesy gamesmanship ploy by a real gambler. We get back together and Walter gets a phone call from his son, that he doesn't answer.

We all took a quick break to spend time with fam. Walter called in from points unknown to give a quick breakdown on the final week of the year in sports.

Cowboys did not show up in Buffalo and we have some conversations about it. But Philly lost, so it's all good? Spurs Win and then Lose, and Walter and Jeff go see them live. They just picked the wrong games to watch. Jeff has a bad fan experience and tells us a story. And yeah, if you are on a trip to attend a coaching clinic, perhaps skip the strip club. And if you have to go, don't use the schoo...

But first., please don't take a gun to an MRI. You might shoot yourself. We talk about the whining in Kansas City about lines of scrimmage, how the Cowboys are looking really good and it might not be enough. Oh yeah, the Spurs are living up to the level of their supporting cast. And we do talk a little politics at the end.

Wow, what an absolutely boring sports news week. FSU has beef, Texas gets Washington and we discuss the meaning of best (just like everyone else is). We turn our attention to the Cowboys and their prospects with Bob on the Cowboy bandwagon this week. We have some pointed conversations regarding the In Season Tournament. Two of us like it, one of us hates it. Can you guess who is the One. Then we t...

Title kinda felt like a scene in Glengarry Glen Ross • We take some of our time before intros to engage in some good natured Aggie Bashing. • Walter goes on vacation early, so yes we have to hear about that. • Jeff hangs out with a Jets fan who was well behaved until the game started. After? Not so much. • Almost forgot, Jeff hates turkey, and so does Walter • We take issue with Coach Pop dressing...

Cowboys have gotten it done through now. Now can they continue for a playoff run. • Cowboys predictions. Can they get it done with 5 winning teams left over the last six? • Let’s build a wall in Texas….Around Houston….for the Aggies.

We try and get through a bunch of stuff as it was a pretty full week. • Cowboys beat another losing team • Spurs on a 9 game losing streak • Longhorns win, but with no style points • CJ Stroud looks good, AGAIN • Chiefs lose at home, though did they show up in the 2nd half

Can you have two generational players in a generation? Walter things so, or so we convince him. The Wemby-Holmgren rivalry may shape up to go down as one of the best rivalries we have seen. Walter talks about food casts at the Frost Bank Center. $30 for a burger, fries and a drink? Was he overcharged? Walter provides us his negotiating Master Class and since he wasn't erased by some no-neck guys i...

The Cowboys season is all about the post season. Let’s all get on the same page with that, Cowboys fans. Walter wakes up and sees the light, or Wemby, or notices that Wemby is tall! New York doesn’t care about anything. Certainly not Wemby, apparently. Perhaps Pop knew something about the draft lottery that the rest of us didn’t. Bob hates the Pac 12. And then we talk some College Basketball. Yep,...

A trade deadline bombshell drops and it was from another sport. On the last day of October which was the NFL trade deadline, James Harden, who has been clamoring to get out of Philly, has been traded to the LA Clippers. We talk some craziness around Victor Wembanyama and Walter douses our hopes and dreams with the cold water bucket of reality… yet. We talk some football and then Walter goes ballis...

Perhaps Mr. Harden would like to hand over his salary and see us do the elephant walk. Because it looks like playing is not on his list. We meander around the rest of the sports world as Wemby fever grips San Antonio. Please go check out our sponsors River City Refuels for all your vending machine needs in the South Texas area. Otherwise, we hang Walter out the window.

Brought to you by River City Refuels, We get off to a great start by researching Food and Drug Administration rulings. Then Jeff and Walter reminisce about petty theft and framed pictures. Yep, this is the Tangent. Walter drops a reality bomb on Walter to temper all of our expectations regarding our new San Antonio alien. We are thinking of programming a weekly segment to do this back and forth. A...

Looks like the gremlins sitting on the wing hit the wrong button and this episode got lost until today. But here you are for completeness.

Jeff loved the Wemby debut. Walter wasn’t impressed and is still looking for his unicorn. Jeff was camping this past weekend so missed the Red River Rivalry and the Miami collapse, but then he got back home in time to see the Sunday night game. Sorry, Cowboys fans. And we are still looking for press credentials. Do we need to hold out a cardboard sign?

We start with a very spirited discussion of Jewish food, spreadables and then dive into some NFL over-reaction. Cowboys Good News, but maybe bad news too, as they head into a clash with the 49ers. Then transition into some college football discussion, well, maybe just Texas Longhorns. Of course we have to discuss the meltdown that was the US Ryder Cup team and maybe we deserved better camera shots...

Cowboys and Jets fans are sad and Kelce goes on a date. A very interesting weekend in the NFL, with a 50 pt beatdown and a major upset. Then Jeff and Walter argue about NFL Halftime show artists. If you have an original Bob Ross painting, be ready for a nice deposit in your checking account, a $10 million dollar deposit.

Podcast recommendation - Strike Force Five. Funny stuff. We talk some Mickelson admissions, football weekend reaction. Unbridled optimism in Dallas this week. Jeff is unavailable, as his kidnappers will not let us talk to him without some sort of ransom. Walter tried to cough and sneeze up a lung on the show as he goes a little horse. Richie was also in an undisclosed location. Check out River Cit...

Walter and Jeff talk about the "Incident" alittle as we ramble around towards the end of the recording. Yep, another episode of the Tangent. We start off with some deep dive on the football weekend. Texas and Cowboys fans are very happy today, Aggie fans not so much. Jets fans are devastated and that was horrible. Richie plans a prison escape which basically just includes not sticking around the p...
