When John Colt went on trial for the murder of Samuel Adams, it felt like all of New York was watching. The media shared inflammatory, and often inaccurate stories about the defendant. The public clamored for more. Courtroom antics ranged from theatrical to downright gross. John Colt sat at the center of it all, shielded by a defense team that argued he hadn't murdered Samuel Adams. He'd simply been defending himself. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from: Dunphy, Thomas. Remarkable Trials of All Countries. Diossy & Company, 1870.Edwards, William.

You must carry the message to Norm. We don’t have an option, if we just deport the worst, the communist wins. Tie goes to the Commie. Elite Commies massive propaganda campaign is on. This is just the beginning of the mass deportation propaganda campaign. Protect our democracy. Why are we a republic and not a democracy?

Imagine leaving Earth for two years… and coming back to find Indiana football sitting on top of the college football world.In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm Hitzges takes listeners through one of the most astonishing transformations the sport has ever seen: the Indiana Hoosiers playing for a national championship. A program long defined by losses, obscurity, and broken coaching careers is now on the brink of an undefeated season — something no team in college football history has ever achieved at this scale.Norm breaks down how head coach Kurt Signetti engineered the turnaround, from importing winning culture and key players from James Madison to convincing quarterback Fernando Mendoza to transfer — a move that resulted in a Heisman Trophy winner and a projected No. 1 NFL draft pick. The episode dives deep into the numbers behind Indiana's dominance, including defensive performances that have held every opponent under 24 points and statistical margins usually reserved for dynasties.Norm also offers context for just how absurd this rise is, comparing Indiana's long history of losses to its sudden place among college football's elite. Along the way, Mary Hitzges joins with sponsor messages and reflections, grounding the episode in the familiar rhythm of Just Wondering while the story itself remains anything but familiar.This isn't hype. It's perspective — and a reminder that sometimes sports still manage to surprise us.Chapters00:00:00 – Just wondering about Indiana playing for a national title00:01:22 – Has college football ever seen anything like this?00:02:09 – Indiana's history as a program where careers went to die00:03:10 – Kurt Signetti arrives and brings a winning blueprint00:04:04 – From 713 losses to Big Ten dominance00:05:10 – The numbers that make this season unbelievable00:06:31 – No opponent scores more than 24 points00:07:17 – The astronaut analogy: disbelief in real time00:08:04 – Miami's puncher's chance and final test00:09:01 – Bob's Steak & Chop House sponsor break00:09:38 – Full Moon Healing Balm and personal fixes00:10:16 – Fluent Financial and closing reflections00:10:38 – Why this story may never be repeated   Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

How much can one move really fix?In this episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges walks through the cold math of the Cowboys' offseason and arrives at an uncomfortable conclusion: Dallas likely has enough money to make one meaningful defensive free-agent signing — and that's it. Even with difficult decisions looming around George Pickens and the franchise tag, the Cowboys' financial flexibility is minimal, forcing them to be precise instead of hopeful.Norm lays out five realistic defensive targets who could fit Dallas' needs and budget, including Jacksonville linebacker Devin Lloyd, Seattle safety Kobe Bryant, edge rusher Boye Mafe, and the high-risk, high-reward possibility of injured linebacker Nakobe Dean. It's a conversation rooted in value, age, availability, and the reality that the Cowboys can't afford to miss — not financially and not competitively.The episode then zooms out to the bigger picture: a 30-year playoff drought that looks worse the deeper you dig. Norm breaks down just how rarely the Cowboys have even reached the quarterfinals — and how consistently they've lost once they got there. Add in bad luck on the draft front, with quarterback Dante Moore choosing to stay in college and shrinking the pool of players who might slide to pick No. 12, and the margin for error grows even thinner.Norm closes with a look at an unusual NFL playoff weekend, where home-field advantage barely matters and parity reigns — a reminder of how far Dallas still is from being part of the real conversation.It's not angry. It's not dramatic. It's just honest.Chapters00:00:00 – Free agency reality: the Cowboys can afford one move00:01:29 – The George Pickens franchise-tag dilemma00:02:12 – Why elite free agents are out of Dallas' price range00:02:50 – Focusing on defense and realistic targets00:03:30 – Devin Lloyd: breakout year, real value00:04:03 – Can Lloyd blitz and cover?

Samuel Adams (no, not *that* Samuel Adams) was nowhere to be found. His friends and family were alarmed. They feared that the respected small business owner had met a violent end. Meanwhile, across town, John Caldwell Colt was up to no good. He tried to cover his tracks, but the man in the office next door was onto him.  Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

The Cowboys don't have many chances — and that's exactly the problem.In this episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges breaks down the Dallas Cowboys' upcoming draft and explains why the pressure on their two first-round picks couldn't be higher. With no selections in the second or third rounds, Dallas must hit on picks 12 and 20 to begin fixing a defense that simply wasn't good enough last season. Norm walks through realistic draft scenarios, evaluates defensive targets like Sonny Styles, Caleb Downs, Harold Baines, and Jermod McCoy, and explains how quarterback movement at the top of the draft could quietly help — or hurt — the Cowboys' plans.Norm also explores trade-down possibilities at pick 20, outlining how Dallas might regain badly needed draft capital without sacrificing defensive help. The bottom line is blunt: the Cowboys cannot afford another draft miss. There's no cushion, no waiting around, and no easy fix if they get this wrong.Then the conversation turns to college football — and how the transfer portal has pushed the sport into complete chaos. Norm lays out eye-opening transfer numbers, including massive roster migrations following new coaches, and explains why the system has become unsustainable. The episode culminates with the story of Kansas State head coach Chris Kleiman, a wildly successful coach who retired early, citing the lack of guardrails, agent influence, and constant compensation demands as reasons he simply couldn't continue.It's a sobering look at two football worlds — one fighting to rebuild carefully, the other spinning faster than anyone can control. Chapters00:00:00 – Today's questions: the Cowboys draft and college football chaos00:01:29 – Why the Cowboys must fix the defense through the draft00:02:10 – The massive pressure on picks 12 and 2000:03:01 – Why missing on these picks isn't an option00:03:53 – Sonny Styles and Caleb Downs: ideal defensive targets00:04:40 – What happens if top targets are gone00:05:23 – How quarterback movement could help Dallas00:06:07 – Dante Moore's draft uncertainty00:07:02 – Cornerback options at pick 2000:07:40 – Jermod McCoy and betting on recovery00:08:18 – Defensive back depth in the mid-first round00:09:16 – Trade-down scenarios to regain draft capital00:10:08 – Why Dallas can't afford another draft mistake00:11:05 – Transition to college football's transfer chaos00:13:58 – Transfer portal numbers that don't feel real00:15:26 – Coaches bringing entire rosters with them00:16:09 – Oklahoma State and Penn State transfer explosions00:16:59 – Chris Kleiman's retirement and warning signs00:17:47 – Kleiman's coaching resume and success00:18:44 – Why the stress finally won00:20:12 – “No one's minding the store anymore”00:21:36 – Agents, money, and the future of the sport00:22:00 – Sponsors and closing thoughts Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

THANKS TO ANDREW FOR MAKING THE INTRO SONG. (soundcloud.com / andoryukesuta) @andoryukesuta A severe thunderstorm strikes Bridgton, Maine, causing a tree to crash through the lakeside home of artist David Drayton, his wife Stephanie, and their eight-year-old son, Billy. While surveying the damage the next morning, they notice a thick mist advancing over the lake. David and BIlly leave for the town with their neighbor Brent Norton to buy supplies. Along the way, they pass several military convoys. From inside the supermarket, they watch police cars speed down the street. A terrified local, Dan Miller, runs into the store and warns of a danger lurking in the mist. As a civil alert siren sounds, store managers Ollie Weeks and Bud Brown close off the supermarket, and the mist envelops the store. Soon after, a woman leaves alone to get to her children. Against David's advice, bagger Norm starts to go outside to fix the store's emergency generator, but he is grabbed by a tentacled creature and dragged into the mist. Afterwards, the survivors begin barricading the store while religious fanatic Mrs. Carmody preaches that the mist is divine punishment. Brent, skeptical of the danger, leaves the store with a group of people, never to return. David forms connections with several people in the store, including Amanda Dunfrey and Irene Reppler, two teachers who came into conflict with Carmody over her religious take on the ongoing disaster. Amanda carries a revolver in her purse and gives it to Ollie, who is a former regional shooting champion. As night falls, enormous flying insects, attracted to the lights, swarm to the store windows and are preyed on by pterodactyl-like creatures. One of the predators smashes a window, allowing both species inside. In the ensuing panic, two people are killed while another receives fatal burns while attempting to incinerate the insects. Meanwhile, Carmody is miraculously spared from an insect, which convinces her to proselytize more fervently and gain followers among the survivors. A group led by David ventures to a nearby pharmacy in search of medical supplies but is attacked by deadly spider-like creatures. Upon their return, tensions rise as Mrs. Carmody calls for sacrifices to appease the monsters, singling out a soldier named Jessup, who reveals that the mist was the result of a military experiment to find other dimensions gone wrong. He is stabbed, thrown outside and immediately killed by a monstrous creature. The next morning, Mrs. Carmody demands Billy and Amanda be sacrificed, but assistant manager Ollie shoots and kills her, returning her followers to their senses and allowing David and his group to escape the store. After Ollie and several others are killed by the creatures, David grabs his gun and drives off with the survivors. The group stops by David's house, where they see Stephanie's dead body. As the group continue their drive through the mist, they pass scenes of widespread destruction and come across a colossal creature before eventually running out of gas. With no hope left, David mercy-kills the group with the last four bullets, including Billy. David steps out of the vehicle and screams for the monsters to come and kill him. The mist begins to clear, as the U.S. Army arrives soon after to exterminate the creatures and rescue survivors. One of the survivors is the woman who left at the onset of the disaster, now safe and reunited with her children. Realizing his actions were in vain, a distraught David collapses, screaming in anguish.

Is being likable enough to lead an NFL team?In this episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges takes a thoughtful look at Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer and asks a question many fans are quietly wondering: can a “Mr. Nice Guy” succeed long-term in the NFL? Norm breaks down coaching styles from Tom Landry to Bill Belichick, and introduces the idea of the “thundering velvet hand” — leadership that blends discipline with care — while questioning whether Schottenheimer strikes the balance players need to win.Then the focus shifts to the Dallas Mavericks, where injuries to Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving force a hard reset. Norm lays out a blunt plan: forget the playoffs, invest in young players, and start building for the future. From developing Ryan Nemhard and Brandon Williams to eyeing draft position and long-term roster construction around Cooper Flagg, Norm explains why patience now could pay off later — even if it's not the plan fans hoped for.It's a candid, realistic look at leadership, culture, and decision-making in Dallas sports — the kind of thinking that doesn't chase headlines, but might just point the way forward.Chapters 00:00:00 – Opening thoughts and today's big questions00:01:27 – Is Brian Schottenheimer simply too nice?00:02:53 – Coaching styles: fear, respect, and leadership00:04:21 – The “thundering velvet hand” explained00:05:14 – Why likability may not equal long-term success00:05:14 – Transition to the Mavericks and roster reality00:07:46 – Anthony Davis injured again and plans unravel00:08:29 – Forget the playoffs: time to invest in youth00:09:30 – Building next year's lineup around Cooper Flagg00:10:16 – Trade flexibility and long-term roster vision00:11:02 – Why this plan offers a real future00:11:13 – Sponsors and closing reflectionsCheck us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

This Episodes Questions: Brians Questions: Since my work typically uses traditional joinery, I cut a lot of tenons. I've tried all kinds of methods, but I am really looking for that one method that works for all size boards (cutting bedrail tenons on the table saw isn't going to happen) and is quick to setup – something that corresponds to the ease and simplicity of cutting mortises using my floor standing mortiser: using your layout lines on the workpiece, you walk up to the machine and start cutting. Easy. For that reason, I really gravitate to the idea of using a radial arm saw with a dado stack for tenons. Norm makes it look so simple: with layout lines already on the board, simply set it against the fence and set your depth of cut, and zip zip, flip, zip, and done (insert Guy's sound effects for simple operations here). No clamps (unless it's a small piece), no moving long unwieldy parts across a table, no complicated jigs. And best of all, you see the layout line while you make the cut – it's not upside down as in a table saw or router table. It looks so simple, and easily a one-size fits all if you have the floorspace for a dedicated machine. But I know radial arm saws have fallen out of favor. I hear about the danger of the saw “walking” toward the operator (can't you just stand to the side? It can only go so far, right?), and perhaps even more vexing, they are really only available used – and I don't have time to tinker with vintage machines, as fun as that'd be in retirement one day. I've heard that the ubiquitous Craftsman machines on FB Marketplace and Craigslist have a lot of deflection and the bearings and tracks the saw rides in usually didn't wear well with age, and that the real old DeWalt's are the best. But again, I'm hesitant to buy something that old without having the time or knowledge to refurbish it. But maybe a week unpaid to refurbish one is worth the long-term labor savings I'd get? An alternative I've imagined is a router fixture (possibly even as a stand-alone table), where the router rides along a fixed fence and atop a flat reference surface, and where the workpiece is placed under that surface. Using the same router, bit and fence setup every time, I'd have reference marks on the fixture that help align the workpiece's layout marks for consistent results. I'd walk up, insert the workpiece, align it and clamp it, set my router depth and route the shoulder of one face and then the edge facing me (yes, the router has to be held horizontal for this edge), and then route the additional meat left at the end of the tenon (if any) - then pull the piece out, flip it, align it, readjust depth if needed and route the other face and edge. The idea is to mimic the action and simplicity of the radial arm saw as close as possible, where the cutting tool is what moves rather than the workpiece, and the workpiece is quickly and easily aligned using its layout marks without complicated one-off jigs. My questions: Is using a radial arm saw for this task as wonderful as it looks? Is it worth the time likely needed to get one reliably working? Given the safety concerns I hear, as well as the commitment required of an old machine, which of the two alternatives above would you go with? Again, with the amount of tenons but of varying kind I do, I want something easy and simple and consistent from project to project – just walk up to the machine and, referencing layout marks on the piece, start cutting. Thanks! Michael Do you guys use anything in your shop that is not intended or marketed for wood workers? Right now my favorite is a fabric cutting mat, i used it once to measure the angle and length of a step stool and it has lived on my MFT ever since, it covers the holes nicely and it's pretty satisfying bringing small pieces of wood to the mat to confirm measurements.  Thanks you for a great show, Heywood  Guys Questions: I have been driving more than usual for work and find myself listening to several episodes throughout the day. Thank you all for making my abnormal seat time enjoyable! I am contemplating purchasing a sliding table for my Harvey Cabinet saw, specifically the Harvey Compass ST-1500. Do any of you have any experience or insight with these types of "add-on's" versus a dedicated machine? Would this be a valuable tool for breaking down sheet goods to final dimensions instead of a track saw? I have used a track-saw in the past and do see how valuable it is, but for my situation, I would prefer to manuver large sheets through the table saw. Thank you, Nick Halverson Hi guys I have listened to all your podcasts and thank you for all the great material.  I have a couple of questions about a walnut desk I am making for my wife. I was wondering what is a good wood choice for the drawer sides?  And can I use that wood on all four sides with dovetails and then glue a piece of walnut on the front so it appears as a half blind dovetail and if so how thick can that front piece of walnut be? Thank you enjoy the podcast while driving tractor on the farm. Paul Huys Questions: I am a new woodworker and have built a few furniture pieces. I've been hooked into your podcasts. I always have you on on my commute. I've learnt a ton from all three of you. Keep up the great work. My wife has asked me to build a coffee table inspired from the following: https://www.potterybarn.ca/products/palisades-wood-coffee-table/?subGroupId=palisades-wood-coffee-table-SPAF-color-remainder&group=1&sku=706535 I'm building it from white ash. The top and shelf are 3/4 stock and the legs are laminated from 1 3/4 inch board. I have the legs and the panels already done. I'm going to build up the edges with the extra length that I already cut from both end grain and side grains of the panels (I have 8 matching strips one for each side) As you can see from the link above this table has no aprons and the panels are attached directly to the legs while being enclosed by the legs fully. Even the top is enclosed and the legs end grain would show. Here are my questions: 1) I plan to glue the panels on one axis to  one side of the legs( let's call it north south axis) and the other axis is all going to be hardware that allows for wood movement. The idea is that since nothing but the glued panels restrict the legs the expansion/contraction of the panels would just transfer to the legs and they can move with it. How crazy am I? I spent days debating this with ChatGPT. Am I misunderstanding how it will work? 2) I'm now in the step of cutting square 5x5 in notches in each corner of both panels. But I'm very concerned about accuracy. It feels like this setup is not very forgiving. For example if I make the smallest errors on the top and bottom of the same leg it may throw off the whole table where I might have gaps between the leg and panel later. I also have no band saw or a jigsaw. I want to tackle this with a track saw ( also have a table saw but this table is 42x42 and my sawstop jobsite isn't good to handle this size). Many thanks! Amin Hey guys, love the show, I've been meaning to send this question this question in for 3-4 years but I'm always listening in the car and forget by the time I get to my computer.   So, a few years ago I moved and added a bandsaw to my shop so I could start resawing lumber and my first project to incorporate that was a humidor. The resawing went great, but my table saw was out of alignment, so the mitered corners on the box looked terrible with gaps on the outside corners. To fix that I decided to add a contrasting strip along all the edges. The carcass is birdseye maple and I added padauk by routing out a 3/32" square on all outside corners, added 1/8" strips of the padauk and then trimmed it flush.  This looks great, but with one issue. The 4 vertical corners are all cross grain between the carcass and the corner banding, so seasonally while the box sides move, the banding doesn't change length, so it either protrudes or retracts a bit (maybe 1/32") from the top and bottom.  This is only a cosmetic issue on this box but I was wondering how I could plan for this in the future, as I could see a situation where all the movement is at the lid side and prevents it from fully closing which could compromise the seal on a humidor.  Some of my thoughts were only gluing the middle portion of the banding down, only doing this when the carcass is a veneer over a more stable substrate, or sucking it up and getting better at mitered box corners and not needing this at all. I have some pictures from this build at https://imgur.com/a/humidor-build-iaXKQLI Jonathan

It's another Cowboys postseason press conference, which means plenty of smiles, sound bites, long explanations… and absolutely no real change.In this episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges breaks down Jerry Jones' latest round of optimism, focusing on the Micah Parsons trade, the financial gymnastics that come with it, and Jerry's ongoing belief that he can “bust the budget” his way back to a Super Bowl. Norm questions whether trading elite defensive talent while handing out massive contracts elsewhere actually solves anything — or just pushes problems further down the road.Norm also takes aim at the Cowboys' strategic contradictions: a defense everyone admits was bad, a running game that actually worked, and an offensive approach that somehow ignored it. If your defense can't stop anyone, shouldn't your offense help protect it? Apparently not in Dallas.Then it's on to the numbers — the strange, fascinating, and occasionally absurd stats from this weekend's football games. From Carolina winning a division while being outscored, to San Francisco thriving without a pass rush, to Jacksonville's late-season dominance and the one number that decides whether Houston wins or loses, Norm connects trends, history, and logic in a way only he can.Dreams, data, and disappointment — just another week in Cowboys country. JWw-NH SL Ep 84 Chapters 00:00:00 – Another Cowboys postseason press conference begins00:01:29 – Smiles, sound bites, and decades of disappointment00:02:12 – The Micah Parsons trade and why the math doesn't work00:03:47 – Paying receivers instead of elite pass rushers00:05:08 – Jerry picks the next defensive coordinator (again)00:06:46 – “Busting the budget” and pushing money down the road00:08:14 – Who pays if this plan fails?00:09:02 – Protecting a bad defense with smarter offense00:09:47 – The Cowboys ran well… so why didn't they run more?00:10:24 – Passing too much and wearing down the defense00:11:08 – Jerry the dreamer vs. Jerry the general manager00:11:53 – Four Super Bowls, ten years, and reality setting in00:13:35 – What a real GM's job actually looks like00:14:26 – Sponsors, healing balm, and practical solutions00:16:29 – Nick Saban's massive coaching tree00:17:21 – Carolina wins a division while being outscored00:18:04 – Eric Dowdle's bizarrely identical seasons00:19:01 – San Francisco wins big without a pass rush00:19:53 – Jacksonville's dominant eight-game streak00:20:49 – Old rivalries and playoff history00:21:43 – The magic number for Houston: 2000:22:52 – Final thoughts and wondering what's next

Today on Just Wondering, Norm does what every sports fan secretly wants to do — he makes himself the general manager of the Dallas Cowboys. Fair warning: you're probably not going to like some of the moves. Norm doesn't like all of them either.With the salary cap looming and bills coming due, Norm walks through what tough, realistic roster decisions actually look like — who stays, who goes, and why kicking the can down the road eventually turns into a financial brick wall. From Dak's ballooning number to painful goodbyes on defense, this is a no-nonsense look at what roster discipline really costs.Then, Norm shifts to the Dallas Mavericks and a familiar problem: Anthony Davis. When healthy, he's elite. When not, he's unavailable. With a massive extension looming and a rebuild quietly underway, the Mavs find themselves stuck between what they hope Davis can be and what he actually is right now.It's cap math, uncomfortable truths, and the reminder that being the GM is hard — even when it's hypothetical. Chapters00:00:00 - Norm Makes Himself Cowboys GM (You Won't Like This)00:02:02 - The Salary Cap Reality Check00:05:14 - Tough Cowboys Cuts and Contract Decisions00:07:32 - Who Stays, Who Walks, and Why00:09:45 - The George Pickens Decision Nobody Wants00:14:07 - Full Moon Healing Balm and Aging Gracefully00:15:23 - The Mavericks' Anthony Davis Dilemma00:19:40 - Big Picture Decisions and Dallas Sports Reality  Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

On a sunny fall day in 1841, New York City officials boarded a ship in search of a crate. Crew members found it buried deep in the cargo hold. The odor coming from within it was unbearable.Inside, they discovered the decomposing body of half-naked man, covered in salt. Authorities identified the body as Samuel Adams (No, not that Samuel Adams.) Who could have done such a thing? There was no need to ponder that question. Authorities had already arrested their prime suspect, John Caldwell Colt. John was an author and expert on bookkeeping. He was also the older brother of Samuel Colt, the inventor of the Colt Revolver. In this episode, Normie C hits us with all the context we'll need to understand this gruesome murder and the bizarre trial that followed. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from: Dunphy, Thomas. Remarkable Trials of All Countries. Diossy & Company, 1870.Edwards, William. The Story of Colt's Revolver. Stackpole Co, 1953.Phelps, M.

Norm is just wondering… what exactly were the Cowboys trying to accomplish in New York?After another joyless, mistake-filled loss to the Giants, Norm breaks down a season that somehow managed to be worse than it already felt. From a defense that couldn't stop anything, to penalties, turnovers, and the ever-popular “culture building” excuse, this one had it all—except competence.There's talk of meaningless records, wasted seasons, free-agent decisions, and the haunting image of Jerry Jones sitting alone in his suite, watching it all unravel. Norm finds a few bright spots (yes, there were some), wonders aloud about the future at quarterback, and questions whether this team has any real path back to relevance.Along the way, Mary joins in, sponsors get their due, and Norm shares a very personal—and surprisingly useful—side story that only he could make work in the middle of a Cowboys rant.Another season down.

On this episode of Norm Hitzges' Just Wondering, Norm rings in the new year by wondering whether a breakup everyone saw coming might actually work out—for both sides.The Cowboys officially move on from Trayvon Diggs, and Norm walks through how a once-promising marriage unraveled: injuries, disagreements over scheme, rehab disputes, fines, frustration, and a quiet but inevitable divorce. When Green Bay claims Diggs off waivers, Norm asks the real question—does Diggs still have that star cornerback inside him, and is this exactly what the Packers need heading into the playoffs?From there, Norm shifts gears to remind us that football doesn't always come down to four quarters, a coaching philosophy, or a season-long narrative. Sometimes, it really does come down to one play—and Norm breaks down a postseason moment where preparation, film study, and perfect execution turned a game on its head.It's a thoughtful, clear-eyed look at player fit, timing, accountability, and why change—when it finally happens—can feel overdue and perfectly logical at the same time.⏱️ Chapters00:00:00 - A New Year and a New Cowboys Question00:01:33 - Why the Diggs–Cowboys Split Was Inevitable00:02:18 - Rehab, Fines, and Philosophical Differences00:03:50 - When Frustration Becomes a Pattern00:04:36 - Waivers, Green Bay, and a Second Chance00:05:27 - Is the Old Trayvon Diggs Still in There?00:06:12 - Why the Packers Are Desperate at Corner00:07:38 - A Perfect Fit—or Just Convenient Timing?00:10:06 - When Defense Carries a Team That Can't Score00:11:40 - The Rare One-Play Football Game00:12:30 - Film Study, Preparation, and a Season-Changing Read00:14:16 - Why One Moment Can Define Everything Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

It's New Year's Eve, and Norm is just wondering whether the Cowboys are about to do the most Cowboys thing imaginable: win a meaningless game and make everything worse.With Dallas already eliminated from playoff contention, Norm breaks down the logic (or lack thereof) behind trying to finish “strong” by beating a broken-down Giants team. Is two late-season wins really a “springboard,” or just a fast way to slide down the draft board? And why, exactly, are the Cowboys planning to play Dak Prescott and other key starters in a game that can only hurt them?Norm walks through the math, the draft implications, the injury risk, and the feel-good narratives that don't survive even a mild fact check. In the end, he's left with one unavoidable question — the same one Cowboys fans keep asking themselves every year: why?⏱️ Chapters00:00:01 - Happy New Year… Now Let's Talk About a Bad Idea00:01:35 - The Cowboys Call This a “Fast Finish”00:02:03 - Beating the League's Leftovers Isn't Momentum00:03:38 - The Washington Win: Context Matters00:04:05 - How One Win Can Quietly Ruin the Draft00:04:42 - The Domino Effect Around the NFL00:05:19 - From Pick 13 to Pick 18: The Real Cost of Winning00:05:51 - Is 8-8-1 Actually Better Than 7-9-1?00:07:06 - So the Cowboys Plan to Play the Starters00:09:13 - Dak Prescott Is Starting… and That's a Problem00:10:02 - Eleven Hits Last Week and the Injury Risk Nobody Wants00:10:43 - Could the Reserves Win This Game Anyway?00:11:24 - One Final Question: Why?Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

It's Monday, December 29th, and Norm is just wondering when college athletics quietly turned into an arms race for billionaires. With championship games approaching, the sport looks less like tradition and more like open-market chaos. Players are transferring for the third and fourth time, skipping bowl games without a second thought, coaches are being fired at record speed, and the NCAA appears to be standing off to the side whistling nervously. But the real concern arrives in Lubbock. Norm walks through how a massive, perfectly legal cash infusion turned Texas Tech into an overnight powerhouse—and why that should make every college sports fan uneasy. When one billionaire can spend $20+ million on transfers alone, what happens when ten of them decide to compete? And what happens to parity, recruiting, and the very idea of college athletics when championships can simply be purchased? Then, some genuinely good news: the 25th annual Normathon delivers once again, raising more than half a million dollars for the Austin Street Center for the Homeless—proof that money can still be used the right way. One part warning, one part gratitude, and entirely on brand. Chapters00:00:00 - A New Alarm Bell for College Sports00:00:22 - A Word From Our Title Sponsor00:01:26 - College Football Has Officially Gone Off the Rails00:02:08 - The Transfer Portal: Musical Chairs With Scholarships00:03:13 - Playoff Confusion and the Toothless NCAA00:03:39 - Who's Actually in Charge Here?00:04:21 - Texas Tech's Sudden Rise (And Why It Matters)00:05:07 - $20 Million, 21 Transfers, and Instant Contender Status00:06:35 - Cody Campbell's Vision — and His Checkbook00:07:22 - Congressional Influence and the Bigger Picture00:08:27 - When Billionaires Start Buying Championships00:09:08 - This Isn't New… It's Just Getting Bigger00:09:33 - The New Recruiting War: Cash vs. Cash00:10:20 - A Quick Break for the Sponsors00:11:01 - Senile Purpura (Still Not a Great Name)00:12:16 - The Good News: Normathon 2500:12:49 - Auctions, Guests, and Community Support00:13:30 - $545,192 Raised in One Day00:14:00 - 25 Years, $10.65 Million, and Countless Lives Changed00:14:36 - Thank You, Truly00:14:58 - Closing Thoughts and See You Wednesday Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

It's the day after Christmas, and while the wrapping paper is still on the floor, Norm is already wondering about the one gift Cowboys fans didn't ask for: finishing the season 8-8-1.After questioning why the NFL insists on hijacking Christmas Day (nothing says “holiday spirit” like wall-to-wall broadcasts), Norm dives into a Cowboys win that somehow felt like every other Cowboys game. A fast start, long scoring droughts, penalty problems, defensive issues, and just enough competence to keep everyone arguing about whether this team is “close.”Dallas beats a battered Washington team, but not convincingly enough to feel good about it. Dak shines. The running game shows promise. Penalties pile up. The defense remains allergic to takeaways. And the big question lingers: if the offense is elite and the defense is awful… isn't .500 exactly where you'd expect to land?Norm breaks it all down with stats, context, and his usual brand of dry realism—then wraps things up with the truth Cowboys fans may not want to hear, but probably already know.Chapters00:00:00 - Merry Christmas… Now About That 8-8-1 Record00:01:24 - Can the NFL Leave Christmas Alone for One Day?00:01:57 - A Familiar Cowboys Script (This Time With a Win)00:02:32 - Fast Start, Then the Scoring Vanishes Again00:03:47 - Dallas Finally Bows Its Neck Late00:04:22 - Dominating the Stats, Confusing the Result00:05:04 - Six Sacks, Eleven Penalties, and Self-Inflicted Wounds00:06:27 - Takeaways?

t's Wednesday, December 24th, and Norm Hitzges is in a festive mood—by which he means grateful, reflective, mildly alarmed, and just a little concerned about the future of local sports.Norm opens with an invitation to one of the most meaningful traditions in DFW radio history: the 25th annual Normathon, raising money for Austin Street Center for the Homeless. Twenty-five years, more than $10 million raised, and a full day of broadcasting fueled by generosity, great guests, and some truly ridiculous auction items (yes, including a racehorse stake and a Pat Green house concert).After that, Norm pivots—because of course he does—to three quick sports hits:• a gut-punch playoff loss for Texas A&M• the end (hopefully) of Jake Paul's cosplay boxing career• and a Rangers bullpen decision that has Norm quietly clutching the armrestsIt's Christmas Eve. There's goodwill. There's charity. There's also concern.

LYRICS:Well Edgar is dead there is nothing to sayNothing Mike can do will make it okayThere's nothing to do to return him to formBetter to stay home and hang out with NormMike kills a spider inside of his houseHe carries it with him whenever he's outMichael thinks he'd do better out of the homeSo Mike goes to Texas, down to bluster's groveTex has an idea of what's going onHe sends Mike to Yellowknife to live on a farmThe Yellowknife folks don't like Mike's planSo they break his calculator, no more numbers, manMike escapes back to Bluster's GroveHe's been living as stock with the numbers aloneThe lost year is gone, it's burned in the pastTex pushed mike right into a vatIt's better to let these things goBut mike can't keep well enough aloneThere's talks at the tavern of a rerack todayBut Tex gets dethroned and Mike is set freeA is in charge, he's cracking the whipOutlaw and Bluster are now wanted menMike is retired after such a long tripHe piles up the past to try and get over itBase is continuing correcting the timeMike sleeps through a conference and steps on a spiderMeanwhile Al is the king of the crabsHe puts down a mutiny with a wave of his handsLieutenant swears revenge and you know that he'll get itOperose will be back if Mike will just let itTy visits Mike to make a house callActing like he doesn't want anything at allHe makes Mike promise he won't do something drasticMike tells Ty he can kiss his asscheekIt's better to let these things goBut mike can't keep well enough aloneMike starts to blink when he's at the compoundDestabilized timelines are going aroundAnd Norm gets too close to remain in the foldBradford and Stinky take over his homeStinky plays dumb, Mike blinks outMike is getting desperate for help right nowHe begs Michael for guidance, Michael says yepHe proves Mike will become him, cuts off his fingertipEdgar blinks out inside a correctionHe cannot avoid Operose's detectionEveryone is trying to remember him aliveBut Mike is determined he will never dieLieutenant's set free, he sends Al to TyAl sends Mike to yellowknife and then al's sent to dieLieutenant kills A and frees Tex from the vatsHe sends Edman to Yellowknife where Mike is atIt's better to let these things goBut mike can't keep well enough aloneBradford sends Mike to Norm, he don't remember a thingMike transports in the room and ruins everythingHe meets the cured Edgar and chooses to save himThe iteration storm stars, cue the mayhemBut what about the lost year, that voice that we heard?Is it fated to stay buried in the dirt?Now that Mike initiated the stormWhat will become of the Mikes that are born?Is Operose now a foregone conclusionThat Mike founded it to keep Edgar elusiveAnd maybe the most important question of allWill the Matt Pack get screentime in this season at all?It's better to let these things goBut mike can't keep well enough alone Hosted on Acast.

Norm tips the cap to Cooper Flagg turning 19 and casually dropping 40 in the NBA—then immediately pivots to something far less impressive: the Dallas Cowboys doing the exact same thing again.If this season feels familiar, that's because it is. Early points, a brief lead, then the defense opens the floodgates while the offense stalls out like it hit an invisible wall. Norm walks through the Chargers loss, the Vikings loss, the Lions loss—pick a week, it's the same movie with a different jersey color.The numbers are brutal: 112 points allowed in three weeks, one sack, five punts forced, and a defense threatening to challenge 1960 for the worst in franchise history. Yet the reflex response still seems to be “fire the coordinator and move on,” rather than confronting the uncomfortable truth that a lot of these players simply aren't good enough.Norm asks the question no one in the front office seems eager to answer: does Jerry Jones actually understand how mediocre this team is—or are we about to spin the coordinator wheel one more time and hope for a miracle?CHAPTERS00:00:00 – Happy Birthday, Cooper Flagg (And Welcome Back to Cowboys Reality)00:00:41 – Fluent Financial Sponsor Read00:01:45 – Cowboys Groundhog Day: Same Game, Same Ending00:02:36 – 6–8–1 and Stuck in the Middle of the Draft Again00:03:18 – “It's the Scheme” vs. “It Might Be the Players”00:03:56 – McCarthy Gone, Zimmer Gone, Schottenheimer Here… Same Results00:04:39 – Chargers Game Recap: Fast Start, Zero Finish00:05:33 – Three-Week Stretch of Defensive Horror00:06:29 – One Sack, Five Punts, and 20 Opponent Scores00:07:11 – No Pressure on Goff, McCarthy, or Herbert00:08:03 – Diggs Back, Revel Struggling, and No Answers00:09:01 – Chargers' Backup Offensive Line Still Runs Wild00:09:57 – Defensive Box Score: Who Showed Up… and Who Didn't00:10:37 – How Many New Starters Does This Defense Need?00:11:01 – Bob's Steak & Chop House Sponsor Read00:12:01 – Full Moon Healing Balm Sponsor Read00:12:57 – Sponsor Close00:13:19 – Follow, Share, and Keep Wondering00:14:00 – Stolen Water Media Sign-Off Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW
