He is the co-founder of Honu Worldwide and Innovative Product Development, Sourcing and 3PL company based in Pennsylvania. Afolabi has always been a has always been passionate about finding things, haggling and negotiating prices. His obsession with finding good quality products at bargain prices led him to help several seven and eight figure brands increase their profits and scale rapidly by buying smart from Asia and the US. He is behind the successful launches of several multi-million dollar products on Amazon and other retail channels. An entrepreneur at heart, Afolabi owns and has sold a few seven figure private label brands. He loves helping people design, develop and manufacture innovative products. Welcome to the show.Afolabi 00:00:53  Thank you Josh. I'm happy to be here. I'm excited.Josh 00:00:56  You know, if you were to restart on Amazon, which I think that's what you're doing now, is you're creating some new brands and launching them on Amazon. What are some of those lessons, actionable takeaways that you can give to other sellers to say, hey, here are the challenges that we faced at different points in the business, that I'm going to make sure that we don't go through these same challenges again in the future.Josh 00:01:20  If you wouldn't mind breaking some of those lessons learned for us. Breaking it down.Afolabi 00:01:25  I'm going to, if I were to start all over again, I'm also going to weave some stories and past experiences into it. So when somebody goes into E-comm, you're starting your e-commerce or you're starting your Amazon business. Sometimes we forget the reason why we started in the first place. We forget the reason why we quit our jobs and we went into e-commerce. For me, my main driver was freedom. I wanted freedom, I wanted to be. I wanted to be able to control my time. I wanted to be able to be there for my family any day, any time. I wanted to be able to take off. If I want to take off, I want to take off, you know? Yeah. So you start this e-com business and you're married to it. You know, you're you're you're waking up 3 a.m. in the morning. You're, you know, you're sleeping late at night. So eventually it defeats the purpose of why you started in the first place.Afolabi 00:02:21  So we found ourselves caught up in all those things. You know, me and my business partner, we would fight each other. You know why? Why? You know why are we running out of stock? I'm like, I didn't know that product was going to run out of stock, you know? You know, we didn't have a good system in place and we didn't have the freedom or anything. So going back now, looking back to where we came from to now, there are three things I'm going to do differently this time. First, I'm going to innovate. Second, I'm going to automate. Third, I'm going to have a lot of free time to think. Because for me, I believe that thinking time is a very creative time. I believe that your rest time is very important. People ask me, you know, you know, jokingly, maybe I'm speaking to Norm, I mean, Norm. You know, there's my business partner on you. You know, he picks, you know, he picks up on me a lot.Afolabi 00:03:19  He's like, hey, I love you. What did you do this weekend? I'm like, no, I did nothing. I just sat on my couch and I was watching soccer all day. I was not doing nothing. You know, sometimes he calls me. I said, I'm going to stop disturbing me. I'm on the field with my son. We're playing soccer here. Please. You know. Yeah.Josh 00:03:41  So, yeah.Afolabi 00:03:42  Freedom. Time to spend time with your loved one is very important. So I'll make sure that this time I automate so that I can free up myself to do whatever I want whenever I wanted to do it. I don't want anything just pressuring me down all the time. Because when I'm thinking I'm creating things that are so valuable in my rest time. Yeah, I could be sitting on a lounge. I mean, on a on a on a recliner. And you, you know, you when you're relaxed, when your mind is at rest, you so many creative ideas come to you and you can look into your business and, and actually spot all the things you are doing wrong when you're in a relaxed mode, you know?Josh 00:04:26  Yeah.Josh 00:04:27  So you're you're kind of three takeaways then, right? If you were to restart would be to innovate, automate and then have more time for thinking and just downtime in general. Right. So...

The NFL Combine is underway and our eyes are on the Dolphins with 11th pick. Tobin is upset to hear that Jeff Hafley and Jon-Eric Sullivan are really not as close of friends as he thought they were, and Leroy of course thinks he is ridiculous. We discuss whether or not the Dolphins should tank this season, Tobin thinks so and Leroy tells us to be careful what we wish for. We dip into our mixed bag to to finish out this hour, as we hear from Hafley, Spo, Norm, and more!

Tobin is in full effect after the Miami Heat drop a totally winnable game to the Bucks, as he and Leroy break down the struggles, question Spo's rotational decisions, and debate what tough conversations and moves may need to be made — all while rumors swirl that the Panthers could trade Sergei Bobrovsky before the deadline. The NFL Combine is underway with a focus on the Dolphins at 11, as tanking becomes a heated debate, mock drafts are examined, and we hear from Hafley, Spo, Norm, and more. Panthers defenseman and Latvian Olympian Uvis Balinskis joins the show to talk about his time in Milan, the Olympic Village, and the team's push for a three-peat. The final hour features reaction to drama surrounding the Men's USA Hockey Team, more Heat accountability as Spo addresses the defensive breakdowns, and a fun close with Rats Off A Ship, the Browns' QB situation, CJ Stroud, and more.

"Ich hatte immer so 'nen Schiss vor Reanimation", erinnert sich Litti an seine Zeit auf der Normalstation. Auf der ITS tägliche Realität, ist die Wiederbelebung in den meisten anderen Bereichen den Pflege nicht die Norm. In der Theorie können wir das natürlich auch alle - aber mal Hand aufs Herz: Wer traut es sich sicher zu? Wir haben diese Woche Marek, ITS-Pfleger und Rettungsassistent, oder auch "der Reanimator", zu uns eingeladen. Er ist Experte für Reanimation und bildet auch aus. Er erklärt uns, was eigentlich die richtige Technik ist (da hat sich viel getan), wann Defibrillator, wann Drücken und wie er auch Laien die Reanimation beibringt. Wie automatisiert kann heutzutage eigentlich das Leben eines Menschen gerettet werden? Und natürlich hat der Reanimator den Defibrillator dabei - Test in der Folge!

 Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges sits down with longtime Dallas Morning News columnist Tim Cowlishaw for a wide-ranging conversation about the state of Dallas sports — and whether anyone is fixing the right problems.They open with the Dallas Cowboys' offseason dilemma: should Jerry Jones pay big money to keep George Pickens… or invest that cash in repairing a defense that ranked among the franchise's worst? Tim makes his case clearly — championships are won with defense, not another $30-million receiver.From there, the discussion expands:Is Jerry Jones too attached to star power?Has NIL and the transfer portal permanently broken college football?Are the Texas Rangers “fragile” heading into the season?Can Kumar Rocker finally deliver on his promise?Is the NBA's tanking problem worse than the league admits?How bright is the Mavericks' future?And how long does a seven-decade writing career last?It's smart, candid, and classic Norm — thoughtful questions, sharp opinions, and no wasted time.

On this week's episode of Gambling Mad with Norman Chad, Norm takes aim at the chaos consuming both his personal and professional worlds — with the weary humor of a man who's been online too long and lost too many bets.He opens by lamenting his ongoing war with X (formerly Twitter, now apparently a social experiment in futility). After being hacked, impersonated, and then accused of impersonating himself, Norm questions not just the platform's sanity — but his own for staying on it.Next up: Frito-Lay. Norm's one-sided partnership with his beloved snack brand takes a dark turn after what he suspects is creative theft — a commercial that feels uncomfortably familiar. When diplomacy fails, he dispatches his alter ego “Young Norm” to Plano, Texas, in what might be the first snack-based act of vengeance in broadcast history.The conversation then turns to the dark side of modern sports gambling. Norm lays out a grim roll call of corruption: MLB pitchers allegedly throwing rigged games, NBA figures caught in federal betting probes, college athletes accused of fixing outcomes — and a nation that barely blinks. With his signature mix of cynicism and disbelief, he asks whether we've normalized cheating as just another part of the game.Still, it's not all doom. Norm lightens the mood with segments on $65 “boujee” tater tots, a round of “Spin the Globe” geography malpractice, an expanded Mount Rushmore of sitcoms (featuring long-overdue shoutouts to Schitt's Creek and Ted Lasso), and a truly bizarre Olympic love confession that redefines the term “bad press.”He closes with a meditation on the absurdities of life, the decline of standards, and the unshakable truth that if you're going to roll the dice, you might as well make sure they're loaded.

Demence ir problēma, kura sastopama arvien biežāk, un gan pašas diagnozes noteikšana, gan medicīniskā un sociālā atbalsta sniegšana ir izaicinošs uzdevums, tomēr jācenšas to risināt. Kā tieši to darīt, pētām raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Skaidro neiroloģe Zane Anna Litauniece, Latvijas Alcheimera asociācija valdes priekšsēdētāja Zita Jēkabsone-Saulīte, pirmā multisensorā dienas centra cilvēkiem ar demenci “Sāras dārzs” projekta vadītāja Inese Motte un sociālā darbiniece un rehabilitētāja centrā “Sāras dārzs” Liene Lizdika. Zane Anna Litauniece skaidro, ka demence bieži sākas ļoti nemanāmi, piemēram, cilvēks sāk aizmirst ikdienišķas lietas - kā sauc kaimiņu vai kā pagatavot omleti. Attīstoties demencei, cilvēkam var mainīties arī raksturs - mierīgs cilvēks kļūst agresīvāks. Demence ir tad, kad cilvēks ne tik labi doma un nevar pilnvērtīgi veikt ikdienas lietas. Demence ir slimība ne normāla novecošanās pazīme. To ir laicīgi jādiagnosticē un jāsāk ārstēt. Tieši agrīna stadijā vislabāk var palīdzēt noturēt dzīves līmeni kvalitatīvu. Demences sākumu tuvākie var arī uzreiz nepamanīt kādam ģimenē. Aptauja liecina, ka vārdu demence zina visi, daudzi nesaprot, ko tas izsaka, bet lielākā daļa tic, ka ir iespējas kaut ko darīt, lai to attālinātu, tomēr nezina, kas būtu jādara, lai to attālinātu. Demence ir aktuāla visā pasaulē. Katras trīs sekundes pasaulē nāk klāt viens demences pacients. Vidēji 1,8% no iedzīvotāju skaita ir cilvēki ar demenci. Raidījuma viešņas arī norāda, ka vēl nav zināms, kā cilvēka smadzeņu darbību ietekmēs mākslīgā intelekta atttīstība, jo jau pētījumi par tehnoloģiju lietojumu rāda, ka cilvēki izmantoto mazāk vairākas smadzeņu daļas, kas bija nepieciešamās kādreiz, kad paturēt prātā vajadzēja daudz vairāk.

Mea Culpa welcomes back our resident expert on the January 6th hearings, Norm Eisen. Eisen, is an attorney and author who has served in a broad array of government roles, including special counsel and special assistant to President Barack Obama for ethics and government reform — in that role Eisen was dubbed “Mr. No” and the “Ethics Czar” — well known for his tough anti-corruption approach to governance. As co-counsel on the House Judiciary Committee's first Trump impeachment — Eisen is active with the Brookings Institute and other groups working to expose the ways Trump and his cronies broke the law not only on January 6th but in their attempts to overturn the election as well. Michael and Norm dig deep into January 6th and the possible prosecutions coming.

In dieser AHA!

Send a textCheating in cycling… should we just accept it will always happen?Four months into her new role as the president of the anti-doping Movement for Credible Cycling, Emily Brammeier joins us to discuss the MPCC's aims and ambitions, 19 years into its existence, how the cycling and anti-doping landscape has changed since then, and the suspicions that still hang over the sport.We also chatted about the need to tackle the so-called medical ‘grey area' exploited by teams and riders seeking an edge – which she described as pro cycling's greatest modern challenge – the success of the MPCC in proactively leading the way when it comes to ‘grey area' issues such as tramadol and carbon monoxide, and her and the group's plans for the future in a sport where, Emily says, there will always be people looking to cheat.

Today on Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm tackles three stories that couldn't be more different — but all revolve around one word: fairness.First, the NBA's double standard.Norm breaks down why tanking teams like the Utah Jazz are fined heavily for sitting players, while championship contenders routinely rest stars late in the season with zero consequences. Is there really a difference between protecting draft position and protecting playoff legs? Or does the league simply protect the powerful?Then Texas Rangers legend Eric Nadel joins the show to talk Rangers baseball — from the Mackenzie Gore acquisition to bullpen concerns, the departure of pitching coach Mike Maddux, and whether Seattle has officially replaced Houston as the team to beat in the American League West.Eric also discusses his 14th Annual Birthday Benefit at the Longhorn Ballroom, supporting the Grant Halliburton Foundation, and reflects on a broadcasting career that nearly became a law career instead.Finally, Norm closes with what may be the most bizarre Winter Olympic controversy in years — allegations that male ski jumpers are using hyaluronic acid injections to qualify for larger competition suits and gain aerodynamic advantage.Yes. That happened.It's sports integrity, roster construction, broadcasting nostalgia, and an Olympic scandal that makes your skin crawl — all in one episode. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – The NBA's tanking double standard02:35 – Utah fined $500,000 vs Indiana's $100,00004:49 – Why contenders rest stars without punishment05:47 – Sponsor: Bob's Steak & Chop House06:41 – Full Moon Healing Balm07:58 – Eric Nadel joins the show09:53 – Mackenzie Gore trade analysis10:51 – Rangers bullpen concerns14:14 – Is the lineup better this year?20:56 – Losing pitching coach Mike Maddux22:37 – Eric's Plan B: unhappy lawyer25:27 – Cuba travel challenges28:04 – Mel Allen, Marv Albert & career inspiration31:37 – Winter Olympic controversies34:10 – The ski jumping hyaluronic acid allegations36:44 – Final thoughtsCheck us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW Just Wondering is a long-form sports commentary podcast hosted by longtime broadcaster Norm Hitzges, offering thoughtful, numbers-driven analysis of the NFL, college sports, the NBA, and the business and culture surrounding them.

In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm takes a look at two very different stories that somehow share the same theme: risk.First, the future of the Dallas Mavericks under new ownership.The Adelson family didn't buy 73% of the franchise just to sit courtside. Norm walks through what's really at play — the push to legalize casino gambling in Texas, the millions spent on political influence, and the long game behind a potential new arena and entertainment complex once the current lease expires in 2031.The big question isn't whether they want a casino in Dallas.It's whether Texas will ever allow it.Norm breaks down the politics, the timing, and whether the Mavericks are ultimately a basketball investment… or a much larger business play.Then the show pivots to the Winter Olympics — and one of the strangest medal-stand moments you'll ever hear about. A Norwegian biathlete wins bronze and decides the podium is the perfect place to publicly confess to cheating on his girlfriend and beg for forgiveness.Norm asks the obvious:Is there ever a good time for that? And was that it?It's sports, business, politics, ego, and human vulnerability — all in one episode.Sometimes the biggest gambles aren't the ones made with money. ⏱️ Chapters00:01 – Why the show is moving to once a week02:23 – Who really owns the Mavericks now?03:01 – The Adelsons and the casino connection03:57 – Can Texas ever legalize gambling?06:20 – Why legislation keeps failing08:09 – What happens when the lease expires in 2031?09:35 – Sponsor: Bob's Steak & Chop House10:15 – Full Moon Healing Balm11:44 – Winter Olympics recap12:46 – The Norwegian biathlete's podium confession15:41 – The girlfriend responds16:13 – Final thoughts Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW Just Wondering is a long-form sports commentary podcast hosted by longtime broadcaster Norm Hitzges, offering thoughtful, numbers-driven analysis of the NFL, college sports, the NBA, and the business and culture surrounding them.

On this special live (yes, actually live) episode of Gambling Mad with Norman Chad, Norman Chad surveys the modern landscape of internet trolls — not his specifically, just the general population of people who wake up each morning and choose hostility. He examines their habits, their stamina, and their unwavering commitment to correcting strangers.He then pivots to the Super Bowl halftime show and the predictable cultural aftershocks, including the MAGA reaction cycle, which appears to run on a renewable energy source called outrage. Norm offers his own measured perspective, which is to say: he has one.The episode also features a brief but necessary inquiry into Frito-Lay's apparent decision to produce a commercial bearing a striking resemblance to Norm's long-established schtick. Coincidence is a beautiful thing. So are royalties.Norm then chisels out his Mount Rushmore of greatest sitcoms — a list constructed with confidence, minimal research, and full awareness that someone will insist he forgot their favorite show from 1987.Finally, Norm tackles one of society's great unresolved mysteries: the sudden need for strangers to begin full conversations the moment a plane lands. After spending hours in mutual silence, passengers discover an urgent desire to discuss connections, weather patterns, and their entire life story while still buckled in. Norm explores this phenomenon with the restraint and empathy it deserves, which is to say, not much.Originally streamed live and now professionally produced for YouTube, this episode is brought to you by 24K Wellness — because inner wellness pairs nicely with outer sarcasm.

In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm and Mary Hitzges tackle two heavy but necessary topics: what the Dallas Cowboys should have learned from the Super Bowl — and what America should be learning from the rise of hate in sports.Norm begins with the numbers.The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots built Super Bowl teams around defense and balanced salary cap management. Seattle allowed just 17 points per game. New England allowed 18. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys allowed over 30.The bigger story? Cap construction.Dallas' nine highest-paid players account for $239 million of a $300 million cap, leaving little room for what Norm calls the “middlemen” — the $8–15 million players who build roster depth and championship resilience. By contrast, Seattle and New England distribute money far more evenly, creating flexibility and defensive depth that wins in January.Norm then shifts to a broader issue: the rise of hate in American sports. From racial chants and religious slurs to recent incidents involving BYU athletes and Oklahoma State fans, Norm questions whether fines and soft punishments are enough — and whether sports can remain a unifying force when hostility keeps escalating.It's an episode about accountability — financial accountability in the NFL, and moral accountability in sports culture.Defense wins championships.But something else seems to be winning off the field. ⏱️ Chapters00:00 – Did the Cowboys notice what won the Super Bowl?02:26 – The stat that won't go away: 49 of 60 Super Bowls03:04 – Dallas allowing 30+ points per game03:49 – $239M for nine players: the Cowboys' cap problem05:19 – How Seattle structures its salary cap06:50 – New England's middle-tier roster advantage07:44 – Jerry Jones and the love of star power08:35 – Former Cowboys thriving elsewhere09:24 – Sponsor: Bob's Steak & Chop House10:18 – Full Moon Healing Balm11:38 – The rise of hate in America13:35 – Hate moving into sports arenas14:18 – BYU chants and Oklahoma State's response14:58 – Is $50,000 enough?15:46 – “On the love-hate scoreboard, hate seems to be winning.”16:08 – Closing thoughts Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW #JustWondering #NormHitzges #DallasCowboys #DefenseWins #NFLSalaryCap #SportsCulture #SuperBowl Just Wondering is a long-form sports commentary podcast hosted by longtime broadcaster Norm Hitzges, offering thoughtful, numbers-driven analysis of the NFL, college sports, the NBA, and the business and culture surrounding them.

In this week's episode of The Hog Pod, we sat down with College Baseball Hall of Famer Norm DeBriyn to look back on the humble beginnings of Arkansas baseball, the moments that changed the program, and a career that helped shape the Razorbacks into a national contender.

In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm and Mary Hitzges break down Super Bowl 60 and the message it delivered — again — to the rest of the NFL.The final score shows Seattle Seahawks 29, New England Patriots 13, but Norm explains why the game was never that close. Seattle's defense controlled the afternoon from start to finish, confusing young quarterback Drake May with late-shifting coverages, constant pressure, and disciplined execution. Norm points out that this win adds to a now overwhelming trend: the team with the better defense has won 49 of the 60 Super Bowls.From there, Norm turns his attention to the Dallas Cowboys — and doesn't mince words. He argues that Dallas continues to ignore the most obvious lesson in football history, investing heavily in offense while hoping defense will somehow catch up. Norm lays out exactly what the Cowboys should do: use early draft picks and available free-agent money on five or six defensive players who can contribute immediately.The episode also highlights Seattle's overlooked advantages, including elite special-teams play from kicker Jason Myers and punter Michael Dixon, who consistently flipped field position. Norm praises head coach Mike McDonald's brilliant game plan, noting how Seattle built a championship defense without relying on massive salaries — instead emphasizing smart drafts, mid-tier contracts, and cohesion.It's a familiar lesson, delivered once again on the biggest stage: offense sells hope, but defense still wins championships.⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Did Super Bowl 60 send Dallas a message?01:25 – Why the final score doesn't tell the story02:12 – 49 of 60 Super Bowls: the defense statistic that won't go away03:06 – Seattle's defensive domination explained04:02 – New England's stalled possessions and short drives05:51 – Befuddling Drake May with late-shift defenses06:29 – Turnovers, sacks, and constant pressure07:18 – Seattle's special teams flip the field08:11 – Why Kenneth Walker deserved MVP09:03 – Mike McDonald's brilliant defensive blueprint10:39 – How Seattle built a championship defense11:29 – Cowboys Organization: did you get the message?12:14 – Sponsor message: Bob's Steak & Chop House12:40 – Full Moon Healing Balm14:14 – Subscribe, follow, and final thoughts Just Wondering is a long-form sports commentary podcast hosted by longtime broadcaster Norm Hitzges, offering thoughtful, numbers-driven analysis of the NFL, college sports, the NBA, and the business and culture surrounding them.

In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm and Mary Hitzges look backward and forward at the same time — tracing the remarkable evolution of the Super Bowl while unpacking a franchise-shifting decision by the Dallas Mavericks. Norm begins with Super Bowl 60, revisiting how the game went from an awkward, half-empty afternoon in 1967 to the most powerful annual spectacle in American sports. From $12 tickets and $42,000 commercials to today's $8–10 million ad slots, Norm explains how the Super Bowl's growth mirrors the transformation of sports, television, and money itself. Along the way, he shares unforgettable history — including Max McGee's hungover heroics in Super Bowl I and the astonishing reality that neither network bothered to save the full game tape. The episode then shifts to the present, where Norm breaks down the Dallas Mavericks' decision to move on from Anthony Davis, effectively closing the book on the Luka Dončić era. Norm explains why the trade wasn't about talent — Davis was still productive when healthy — but about flexibility, criticism fatigue, and long-term cap strategy. With Dallas now projected to have $44 million in cap space, Norm outlines how the Mavericks may follow a patient, Oklahoma City–style rebuild built around flexibility, draft assets, and opportunistic trades. It's a thoughtful episode about growth, money, patience, and perspective — from the Super Bowl's unlikely beginnings to a franchise trying to find its next identity. Just Wondering_1.mp3 ⏱️ Chapters (YouTube-Friendly) 00:00 – Super Bowl Sunday questions and today's themes01:26 – The origin of the Super Bowl name02:10 – From $12 tickets to $10M commercials02:58 – 32,000 empty seats at Super Bowl I04:57 – Why the full game footage was never saved05:53 – Max McGee's hungover Super Bowl legend06:49 – Super Bowl 60 matchup and betting context08:02 – Why defense still wins Super Bowls08:56 – Transition to the Mavericks' big move11:09 – Anthony Davis traded and what it really means11:54 – Criticism fatigue and why Dallas wanted out13:20 – What the Mavericks actually received14:15 – The real prize: $44M in cap flexibility15:40 – Following the Oklahoma City rebuild model16:21 – Pieces Dallas still likes going forward17:18 – What Dallas ultimately got for Luka18:27 – Sponsors and closing thoughts19:19 – Final sign-off Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW Just Wondering is a long-form sports commentary podcast hosted by longtime broadcaster Norm Hitzges, offering thoughtful, numbers-driven analysis of the NFL, college sports, the NBA, and the business and culture surrounding them.

In our What We're Watching segment, Wayne is lukewarm in his assessment of The Orville's current season, and somehow Dave manages to sit still for 2 ½ hours to watch the film F1. In Listener Feedback, Cincinnati Joe gives a positive review of Wonder Man, and Alan in England wonders what happened w/Norman and his failed leadership role with the Vault 31 crew. Remember to join the genre television and film discussion on the SciFi TV Rewatch Facebook group for the latest genre television show news and podcast releases. Episode Grade: Dave 9.4  Wayne 9.3

Norm specializes in providing e-commerce and online marketing services for brands. He has worked with fortune 500 companies such as Coca-Cola, Mercedes-Benz, and 20th Century Fox since the early 1990s. Norm has focused on helping entrepreneurs optimize their operations and unlock their businesses potential. Presently, he is the host of the popular Amazon podcast lunch with Norm. So welcome to the show, Norm.Norm 00:00:32  Hey, glad to be here.Josh 00:00:33  So, Norm, I wanted to ask, you know, what are some of the best practices that you see with that? And maybe do you have any case studies or maybe some examples that you might be able to share with us, just to kind of spark some ideas in people's mind of the various opportunities that do lie in, you know, building your own audience off of Amazon from those insert cards.Norm 00:00:55  Well, and it's a good and bad story, but I know we were working with a beauty company who had built an email list up to 280,000 emails.Norm 00:01:08  Wow. But he would not. He never. He thought it was inconvenient. It would inconvenience people if he sent them emails.Josh 00:01:18  That doesn't make sense.Norm 00:01:19  280,000 emails. So yeah, that that that wasn't, that wasn't a smart move, but,Josh 00:01:27  Attracting. I mean, how did he attract 280,000 people to give him their email address? Right. Like, do you know what the offer was?Norm 00:01:36  Yeah. Well, different beauty products. So what it would be is you could go. You could go to the insert. It would go to a landing page. The landing page, would offer them one of his other products. So if you had the shampoo conditioner, you could have the, what's called keratin treatment, or you could have, there was, some serums and stuff like that, but you were offered a free product. So in the $10.Josh 00:02:06  In the insert card on the insert card, it says, hey, claim your free product I assume then yeah. Okay.Norm 00:02:13  Yeah. So all it did was send.Norm 00:02:16  He got the email address and the address because he had to send the product. So he had, he had it all and he did not and would not send out a single email.Josh 00:02:29  Fascinating. Yeah. Which is you know, going back you kind of shared that stat that you think that people are missing out on 40% of revenue just by not implementing, you know, additional as. Yeah. Right.Norm 00:02:43  You sell a million bucks, you're missing out a 400,000.Josh 00:02:46  Fascinating. Yeah. Any other stories or examples of, like, insert cards or, you know, ways that work to get people to provide their email address?Norm 00:02:56  Well, there's always the extended warranty. So that is something, again, going back to the knife company, extended warranty. So it's a lifetime warranty. Okay, great. That's a lifetime warranty anyway. Basically. But, you know, it's a lifetime warranty. another one was just like I was talking to you about before. A knife with the honing rod. Okay, great.Norm 00:03:20  another one that worked for that company was the meal plan and cookbook. So you can either download and get a weekly email. So what's in that weekly email with the weekly plan? Well, there's some sort of promotion. It wasn't all the time, but there was either just some recipes. So this is something that we did as well. We went out and we, talked to chefs and we talked to culinary schools, and we gave them, very expensive knife. And so the deal was we'll supply the whole class with these very expensive knives. if they provide us with a recipe and spread it out on their social media, tag us on their social media. So we got a ton of user generated content and we got a ton of Recipes. So what do we do on Amazon posts? We provided recipes. So that started to get a very unique following. And then because of that, we ended up getting all this really cool stuff that we could put onto this other page, fill in to the newsletter, and when people got their newsletter, they got recipes, which ended up being two full, really incredible recipe books.Norm 00:04:34  So now we give away the recipe books. But we could peel off one recipe at a time, which people enjoyed, you know? And we didn't do it, but you could have even segmented it further. If the person was vegan, you could just send them vegan recipes or vegetarian or, you ...

In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm examines two modern sports realities that feel completely different — but are driven by the same idea: pushing systems beyond what they were designed to handle.Norm starts with the Dallas Cowboys' looming 2026 salary cap crisis. With the NFL cap projected to exceed $300 million, the Cowboys are already $30 million over, before accounting for key players they want to keep. Norm walks through the uncomfortable math surrounding contract restructures, deferred money, and why the Cowboys' familiar strategy of “robbing Peter to pay Paul” makes today easier — and tomorrow much harder. From Dak Prescott's ballooning cap numbers to the impossible situation surrounding defensive tackle Kenny Clark, this is a clear-eyed look at how Dallas keeps betting on the future while borrowing against it.Then the episode shifts to college football, where the definition of a “career” is quietly being rewritten. Norm breaks down the unprecedented case of Miami linebacker Mohamed Ture, who is returning for an eighth season of college football at age 25. Thanks to redshirts, injury waivers, COVID eligibility, and NIL deals, Norm explains why some players can now make more money staying in college than entering the NFL — and why this trend may only accelerate.It's a thoughtful, numbers-driven episode about consequences, incentives, and what happens when leagues solve today's problems by moving them into tomorrow.JWw-NH SL Ep 95 ⏱️ Chapters00:00 – Just wondering about another Cowboys salary cap mess01:27 – The 2026 NFL salary cap: $300M and Dallas is already over02:08 – “Robbing Peter to pay Paul” explained02:53 – Cutting players to create cap space03:38 – Why Kenny Clark's $21M cap hit can't happen04:29 – The backlash if Dallas lets Clark walk05:11 – Nine players, $259M, and nowhere to go06:01 – Why the math simply doesn't work06:40 – March 11: the real NFL deadline07:21 – How Dak Prescott's cap hit ballooned to $74M08:04 – Zach Martin, retirement, and dead money08:55 – “Busting the budget” for a Super Bowl run09:41 – Sponsor break11:39 – College football's newest oddity12:26 – Mohamed Ture returns for an eighth season13:26 – ACL injuries, NFL risk, and NIL math14:13 – Making a career out of college football14:53 – Final thoughts and sign-off Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW #JustWondering #NormHitzges #DallasCowboys#NFLSalaryCap #CowboysNation#CollegeFootball #NIL #TransferPortal#SportsPodcast #SportsEconomics Just Wondering is a long-form sports commentary podcast hosted by longtime broadcaster Norm Hitzges, offering thoughtful, numbers-driven analysis of the NFL, college sports, the NBA, and the business and culture surrounding them. Each episode blends experience, history, and curiosity to explore why things happen — not just what happened. New episodes feature clear-eyed perspective, context you don't hear elsewhere, and questions worth sitting with a little longer.

One year later, the Luka Dončić trade still gets talked about — just not completely.In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm Hitzges revisits the shocking deal that sent Luka Dončić from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers, and explains why most retrospectives still leave out the most important details.Yes, Luka was a brilliant offensive force. Yes, Dallas fans adored him. And yes, the trade wrecked the Mavericks almost immediately. But Norm lays out three realities that rarely get mentioned: Dončić never improved defensively in his six-and-a-half seasons in Dallas, he consistently showed up to seasons overweight, and the financial commitment looming over the franchise was staggering — five years, $345 million guaranteed.Norm argues that Dallas would have accepted the turnovers, the shooting inefficiencies, and even the injuries — if Luka had simply taken conditioning seriously while he was there. Instead, that lack of commitment quietly shaped the Mavericks' decision in ways fans and analysts still resist acknowledging.Then, just when the conversation feels heavy, sports does what it always does — it delivers something you couldn't make up if you tried. Norm tells the unbelievable story of heavyweight boxer Jarell Miller, a career full of suspensions, comebacks, and one unforgettable Madison Square Garden moment when a perfectly timed uppercut sent Miller's toupee dangling — and then flying — into the crowd.It's classic Just Wondering: hard truths, missing context, and a reminder that sports will always find a way to surprise you. Chapters00:00:00 – One year later and still wondering about the Luka trade00:01:29 – Revisiting the shock of Dončić to the Lakers00:02:13 – What most trade recaps leave out00:03:03 – Luka's playoff defense problem00:03:52 – The $345 million elephant in the room00:04:43 – Conditioning, injuries, and missed games00:05:30 – Why Dallas would have paid him anyway00:06:07 – “If he'd just gotten in shape…”00:06:55 – Sponsor break: Bob's Steak & Chop House00:07:35 – Full Moon Healing Balm and aging realities00:08:20 – Enter Jarell “Big Baby” Miller00:09:02 – A heavyweight career full of suspensions00:10:17 – Failed drug tests and strange explanations00:11:49 – Comebacks, casinos, and global fight stops00:12:38 – Madison Square Garden and the toupee incident00:13:25 – The ammonia bleach explanation00:14:20 – Why boxing always delivers the unbelievable00:15:15 – Sponsors and closing thoughts00:15:37 – Final sign-off

After another horrifying murder and ICE's continued unwelcome presence in Minnesota, Al is joined by friend of the show, political scientist, and emeritus scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, Norm Ornstein, to discuss what is happening in their home state.After widespread reports of American citizens being detained, ICE using children as "bait," and the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, the Trump administration seems open to drawing back the ICE presence in Minnesota. Al and Norm discuss what a possible deal could look like to get them out of the state. Will Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem face any consequences for their lies and aggression? After spending time meeting with organizers in the Twin Cities, Al shares what he learned from constitutional observers and others making their community safer and caring for each other. We also discuss the danger of the federal government getting its hands on state voter rolls. Was Trump's invasion ever about enforcing immigration laws? Or was it more about retribution? LISTEN to Norm's podcast "Words Matter" with fellow friend of the show David Rothkopf: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dsrs-words-matter/id1420216970SUPPORT THE SHOW BY VISITING OUR SPONSORS:Visit American Giant to get their Classic Full Zip Hoodie and other cold weather staples.
