Podcasts about Norm

Norm Hitzges has seen some wild Cowboys moves in his day, but this one? Trading Micah Parsons right before the season like it's a garage sale deal? That's next-level Jerry Jones. In this Labor Day edition of Just Wondering, Norm rips the wrapping paper off the Parsons trade and takes you behind the curtain of the Cowboys' money mess, questionable logic, and Jerry's stubborn “I don't talk to agents” routine. (Spoiler: he definitely should). This isn't just another breakdown of stats and contracts—it's a snarky autopsy on how America's Team went from “Super Bowl hopes” to “hope we stop the run.” Along the way, Norm points out how the Cowboys managed to both save money and light themselves on fire, why Parsons-to-Green Bay makes the Packers terrifying, and why Cowboys fans are once again stuck screaming at their TVs. Oh, and in true Norm fashion, there's steakhouse chatter, Alabama slander, and a little Arch Manning reality check. Buckle up, because this one swings harder than Jerry's checkbook. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 – Micah Parsons traded & retirement planning (Norm multitasks, as always)2:05 – Salary cap gymnastics: how the Cowboys tripped over their own wallets4:51 – Jerry Jones goes full “I don't talk to agents” mode12:42 – Life without Micah: welcome to defensive mediocrity13:31 – Draft strategy or dartboard session?

But in this episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges sits down with the Los Angeles Angels manager to uncover a story that goes far beyond the field.Washington opens up about the three terrifying days he ignored warning signs—until he landed in the hospital for an emergency quadruple bypass surgery. With honesty and humor, he shares what it was like to come face-to-face with mortality, the lifestyle changes he's making, and why he still feels “born to lead” in baseball.Alongside Ron's powerful story, Norm delivers his trademark mix of sports and heart: tackling the controversy over Tommy Fleetwood edging out Scotty Scheffler in golf's latest championship, and spotlighting the McLean brothers' awe-inspiring row across the Pacific Ocean—a journey for both world records and clean water charity.This episode blends sports history, raw humanity, and the kind of conversation you don't want to end.Chapters0:00 – Ron Washington's Health Scare & Career ReflectionsA 57-year career in baseball, interrupted by a fight for his life.3:41 – Quadruple Bypass SurgeryRon describes the scary reality of waiting too long to see a doctor.7:03 – Breaking Habits, Building HealthHow smoking, rehab, and recovery shaped his new daily battle.9:20 – Baseball, Leadership, and ResilienceWhy Washington still feels called to lead—even after his surgery.10:26 – From Fried Food to Fresh ChoicesThe diet shifts that keep him on track.11:58 – The Road Back to the DugoutRon shares his December recovery milestone and hopes to manage again.17:14 – Life Beyond BaseballReflections on age, health, and a hopeful return to New Orleans.19:00 – Golf Controversy: Scheffler vs. FleetwoodNorm questions how a dominant season wasn't rewarded properly.22:16 – Rowing Across the PacificThe McLean brothers chase records while raising funds for clean water.

In this episode of Just Wondering, Norm dissects the Dallas Cowboys' 53-man roster and isn't shy about calling out the biggest surprises — including who stayed, who got cut, and why some decisions make little sense. From Joe Milton's shaky preseason play to the looming need for backup quarterbacks, Norm lays out the challenges facing the Cowboys as the season opener approaches.Shifting to baseball, Norm takes a hard look at the Texas Rangers' season collapse. Despite having one of the best pitching staffs in franchise history, injuries to Nathan Uvalde and Jacob deGrom have gutted their postseason hopes. Norm explains why 2026, not 2024, may be the Rangers' best chance to truly capitalize on their talent.And because it wouldn't be football season without picks, Norm reminds listeners about his legendary college and NFL predictions — a tradition he's carried for over 45 years. He closes the show with an invite to the RoughRiders Stadium Fantasy Football Draft, promising fans a chance to talk sports, strategy, and everything in between.Whether you're a diehard Cowboys fan, a frustrated Rangers supporter, or just hungry for sharp sports analysis, this episode packs in everything you need to kick off the fall season.Sign up for Norm's Picks of the Pole, here: https://payhip.com/PicksofthePolewithNormHitzges or email Norm for picks: norm13tenmail.com⏱️ Chapters:0:00 – Introduction & overview of today's topics1:45 – Cowboys 53-man roster breakdown and biggest surprises6:08 – Rangers' collapse: wasted pitching and slim playoff hopes9:54 – College football and NFL picks — Norm's track record11:46 – Fantasy Football Draft Night at RoughRiders Stadium12:53 – Sponsors: Fluent Financial & Bob's Steak and Chop House13:49 – Final thoughts and closing remarksCheck us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfw Instagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

In this fiery episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges takes listeners deep inside the mind of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones — part fan, part fanatic, and all-in on chasing his elusive “own” Super Bowl. With over 35 years of watching Jones from both up close and afar, Norm unpacks the highs, lows, and downright head-scratching moves that have defined Jerry's three decades of Cowboys control. From overpaying players in contract negotiations to letting personal grudges dictate decisions, Norm calls out the disconnect between Jones' desire to win and his ability to build a winning formula. Along the way, Norm explores the drama around Micah Parsons' stalled deal, breaks down a rumored trade with Green Bay, and dissects the Cowboys' exhibition game performances with his trademark wit and precision. If you've ever wondered what makes Jerry tick—or why the Cowboys' trophy case has been empty for 30 years—this episode delivers the candid truth. Sign up for Norm's Picks of the Pole, here: https://payhip.com/PicksofthePolewithNormHitzges or email Norm for picks: norm13tenmail.com ⏱️ Chapters: 0:00 – Setting the stage: Inside the mind of Jerry Jones & Fluent Financial sponsor message2:14 – Jerry Jones: Fan vs. fanatic and the obsession with his Super Bowl4:50 – Contract blunders: Parsons' agent plays chess while Jerry plays checkers7:32 – Rumored trade: Micah Parsons to Green Bay?

Vodičák som nechcel, dnes mám Defender. Ale Land Cruiser Tybykemu závidíme všetci, hovorí v rozhovore Tomáš Yxo Dohňanský z kapely Hex.Z otvárania kilometrových úsekov diaľnic cítim smiech a plač, hovorí Tomášom Yxo Dohňanský z Hexu. Nedokončená diaľnica do Košíc je úplná hanba tejto republiky, tvrdí.Ďuro Sabo sa v novej epizóde podcastu venuje aj praktickým radám pre vodičov, vrátane bezpečnosti obuvi za volantom, pričom upozorňuje na rozdiely v legislatíve v rôznych krajinách a potenciálne dôsledky nesprávnej obuvi pri nehode. Dozviete sa aj o inovatívnom prístupe k turizmu na Faerských ostrovoch, kde si turisti môžu prenajať auto s prekvapivou navigáciou k neznámym lokálnym atrakciám, čím sa podporuje objavovanie menej známych miest.A aby sme nezabudli, hexákom gratulujeme k 35 rokom stráveným na cestách za svojimi fanúšikmi!Rozhovor s Yxom z kapely Hex: Máme radi dobré kvalitné autá, no hlavne bezpečnéPočas rozhovoru Yxo šoféroval auto a mal namierené na festival Grape. Prvá otázka tak vyplynula celkom prirodzene:Je to tak, že na koncerty jazdíte každý člen kapely sám? Nie, nie, toto je veľká výnimka, lebo ideme tak individuálne aj kvôli tomu, že s niektorými chalanmi idú ženy, deti a každý ideme svojím autom na Grape, lebo budeme sa aj tak rôzne pohybovať, ale ináč chodíme vždy a v zásade jednou veľkou dodávkou, kde je celá aparatúra a aj s technikmi chalanmi. A druhá dodávka je plná veselých muzikantov.Ako vyzerá taká jazda s Hexom? Počúvate, rozprávate sa alebo ste ticho alebo si čítate alebo čo?Máme výborného šoféra nášho Iľju. Takže my teda môžeme si robiť, čo chceme v tom aute, ale už je to naozaj trošku kľudnejšie. Teraz samozrejme, že sú tam nejaké rozhovory o filmoch, o knihách, o hocičom. Potom kľudne si niekto pozrie film, niekto si vypočuje hudbu, ale hudbu ako takú, že spoločne moc nepočúvame v tom aute. Skôr sa rozprávame alebo sa venujeme každý tomu, čo chce a tak ďalej a tak ďalej. Takže je to taká kombinácia hlavne na tých dlhých tých cestách.Kto je z vašej kapely taký najväčší fanúšik do áut?Vieš čo, my to máme tak, mám pocit s tými autami, že my ich máme naozaj ako také, že dopravné prostriedky. Nepobadal som, že by niekto bol taký ten autíčkár, že by presne vedel, že čo kde ako a tuningy a takéto veci. Ale tak máme radi dobré autá, máme radi kvalitné autá a máme radi hlavne bezpečné autá.Na čom jazdí Hex?Idem od rytmickej sekcie. Tybyke má Toyotu Land Cruiser, takú veľmi starú, ale fantastické auto. Normálne mu ho všetci závidíme. On tam má normálne ešte kazeťák. Potom Sharkan má Volvo 90-kové. Fefe má Lexus, ale neviem aký typ, lebo ja sa v týchto japonských autách nevyznám. Náš Lacko má tuším, že Nissan nejaký. To je náš gitarista. Ja jazdím na Land Rover Defender.To je celkom pekná zbierka. A keď idete teraz spolu, tak to velikánske auto, to je aké? No to technické, myslím, že nejaký najväčší Renault, čo vyrábajú s takým ložným priestorom plus miesta pre päť ľudí a my chodíme Mercedesom Viano alebo Vito. Také také čierne také pekné auto. Také ako sa vozia hollywoodske hviezdy.Super. Dobre, poďme na sekundu ešte k tebe. Ty si spomínaš na akom aute si robil skúšky na vodičák? Spomínam si úplne presne, lebo som mal veľmi prísneho učiteľa a to ti bola taká, že Škoda Felicia, taká taká ešte staré auto, také, ešte tam nebola ani klimatizácia, ani nič. No Škoda Felicia proste.Vypočujte si celý rozhovor.V podcaste sa dozviete sa aj to, aký má Yxo názor na slovenské cesty, akú kritiku adresu slovenským vládam za...

In Part 2 of this extraordinary conversation, Just Wondering host Norm Hitzges continues his deep dive into the incredible life of explorer Karl Bushby — the man walking his way into history. For nearly three decades, Karl has trekked over 36,000 miles across the globe, chasing his dream to be the first person ever to walk all the way around the world. In this episode, Karl opens up about the most dangerous chapters of his expedition: facing guerrillas in the Darien Gap, being detained in Russia after crossing the frozen Bering Strait, and the mental grind of keeping his journey alive through political obstacles and personal sacrifice. He also shares stories of unexpected kindness from strangers, evolving technology that reshaped his travels, and how strict rules of his mission — no skipping, no shortcuts — have kept him honest through every mile. This is not just a travelogue. It's a raw, adventurous story about human resilience, determination, and what happens when you simply refuse to quit. Sign up for Norm's Picks of the Pole, here: https://payhip.com/PicksofthePolewithNormHitzges or email Norm for picks: norm13tenmail.com Chapters: 0:01 – Karl Bushby's epic journey nears its final stretch2:23 – A 27-year walk: rules, purpose, and determination8:00 – From $500 in Patagonia to worldwide support12:34 – The strict “no skipping” rules that shaped the expedition15:19 – Crossing the Bering Strait and detention in Russia18:45 – Danger in the Darien Gap: guerrillas, gunpoint, and survival20:57 – Norm wraps with sports picks, steakhouse talk, and sponsors  Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

What does it take to walk around the world — literally? In this remarkable episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges sits down with explorer Karl Bushby, who has spent the last 27 years on a 36,000-mile mission to be the first person to circumnavigate the globe entirely on foot. From surviving in Patagonia with little more than road scraps and berries, to crossing the icy, unforgiving Bering Strait, Karl's journey has been defined by grit, danger, and an unshakable belief in the impossible. Along the way, he's faced guerrillas in the Darien Gap, been detained by Russian authorities, and endured financial setbacks — yet through it all, he's pushed forward, mile after mile. Speaking from Istanbul as he nears the end of his epic journey, Karl shares his motivations, brushes with death, encounters with kindness, and the strict rules that have shaped his quest. This isn't just a story about walking — it's a testament to endurance, resilience, and the audacity of the human spirit. If you've ever doubted what one person can achieve, Karl Bushby's story will change your mind. Sign up for Norm's Picks of the Pole, here: https://payhip.com/PicksofthePolewithNormHitzges or email Norm for picks: norm13tenmail.com Chapters: 0:01 – Introducing Karl Bushby: A lifetime adventurer joins from Istanbul2:23 – Why walk the world?

Norm Hitzges sits down with longtime Cowboys radio voice (and former NFL quarterback) Babe Laufenberg to talk about where America's Team really stands heading into the season—and yes, it's a little more complicated than the hype would have you believe. From the uphill climb in the NFC East to an offensive line that might just be the key to the whole season, Babe breaks it down with his trademark candor. The two dig into the Micah Parsons contract standoff (and even toy with the possibility of a trade), swap war stories about leadership, and rewind to Babe's own days under center—complete with a Troy Aikman coin-flip “competition” for the starting job. It's football analysis served with sharp insight, a few laughs, and a leaf-blower anecdote you didn't know you needed. Brought to you by Fluent Financial — Retire earlier.

Thinking about expanding your Amazon business beyond the U.S.? In this episode of Lunch With Norm, international expansion expert Alexandra Ramirez reveals why smart Amazon sellers are scaling faster, spending less, and facing almost no competition in certain European markets. You'll learn: - Why the UK, Germany, and France are the easiest and most profitable markets to enter. - How to navigate VAT registration, compliance, and cross-border logistics. - The truth about Pan-EU FBA and how it can help you sell in up to 7 countries with only 2 VAT numbers. - Common mistakes sellers make with EPR eco taxes, labeling, and cultural localization. - Real examples of sellers who discovered their products were already being resold overseas—without their knowledge.   With over 500 million online shoppers in Europe and lower market saturation compared to the U.S., the opportunity for growth has never been bigger. Allie breaks down the step-by-step process for entering new marketplaces, from conducting keyword research to tailoring your listings for cultural differences in each country.

What happens when you get fired from TV, have no backup plan, and then stumble into a chance meeting that changes your life? If you're Norm Hitzges, you build a 50-year career in sports talk radio—and somehow still remember the exact moment it all started (and the exact amount of rage you felt at the time). In this celebratory episode of Just Wondering, Norm takes us back to the day that kicked off half a century of takes, triumphs, and talk radio. From a surprise pink slip at Channel 4 to a serendipitous run-in with Tony Garrett at KERA, Norm peels back the curtain on the origin story of one of the most iconic voices in Dallas-Fort Worth sports broadcasting. With trademark candor, Norm revisits the early nerves, the accidental genius of tossing his notes, and the quirky beginnings of a format nobody believed would work—sports talk on public radio. (Spoiler: It worked.) Along the way, he drops sponsor shoutouts, broadcasting wisdom, and a few light jabs at the cruel randomness of fate. All in all, it's a masterclass in longevity—and a reminder that sometimes dumb luck and showing up are enough to build a legacy. ⏱️ CHAPTERS0:01 – Internet Problems & Lawn Mowers: We're Off to a Hot Start1:08 – Retire Sooner, Smarter – A Word from Fluent Financial2:14 – The Big Milestone: 50 Years on the Mic2:50 – The Infamous Firing at Channel 44:26 – The Hallway Conversation That Changed Everything7:19 – Steak Worthy of the Hall – Bob's Steak & Chop House Shoutout8:08 – Football Picks and a Little Betting Wisdom9:39 – How to Support the Podcast and Keep the Mic Hot

What do you get when one of the sharpest minds in sports radio locks onto the contract chaos surrounding Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys? You get fireworks. And facts. And maybe a new book title for Jerry Jones. In this episode, Norm Hitzges dives headfirst into the Friday bombshell that Parsons reportedly wants out. Norm—equal parts sage, sports savant, and snark connoisseur—unpacks the Cowboys' signature move: waiting until it's almost too late to get a deal done. From dissecting Jerry and Stephen Jones' puzzling negotiation style to questioning why someone would even think of trading away their best defensive player, Norm guides us through the mess with charm, insight, and the occasional mic drop. As always, there's more than just analysis here—there's Norm-al wisdom. And it's wrapped in wit. 

What if you could create scroll-stopping video ads without a studio, expensive shoots, or even real people?

Is it just us... or are the Dallas Cowboys doing everything but paying Micah Parsons? In this episode, Norm Hitzges dives headfirst into the swirling drama at Cowboys training camp, where the Jones family seems to think negotiating is best done through passive-aggressive press quotes and questionable math. (No, Jerry, Micah didn't miss six games.) Norm takes us behind the scenes of what should be a no-brainer deal—and breaks down how the Cowboys are once again making it harder than it has to be. From salary cap strategy to ego management, Norm unpacks it all with his signature blend of insight, sarcasm, and "Did-they-really-say-that?" disbelief. Then, he shifts gears to let you in on how to get your hands on his famous football picks for the upcoming season (spoiler: they've been very profitable). If you've ever shouted “JUST PAY THE MAN!” at your TV—or wondered why NFL teams love waiting until the last second—this episode is your playbook. Sign up for Norm's Picks of the Pole, here: https://payhip.com/PicksofthePolewithNormHitzges  ⏱️ Chapters: 0:00 – Intro and a tasty sponsor spot (yes, Bob's Steak gets name-dropped again)1:36 – Micah Parsons & the Cowboys: Contract chaos, finger-pointing, and a lesson in how not to negotiate9:29 – Want Norm's football picks?
