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.

Munaf Manji talks Tuesday setting and much more. With Super Bowl 60 five days away in Santa Clara and the NBA trade deadline approaching, Munaf Manji delivered a wide ranging, NBA focused edition of Cash That Ticket on RJ Bell's Dream Preview, touching on betting results, emerging league storylines, and key Tuesday night matchups. Manji opened by recapping a split night on best bets with Uncle Dave, highlighting a winning Alperen Sengun related angle through Amen Thompson's PRA prop, while his own Joel Embiid points play fell short in a Philadelphia blowout where the supporting cast took over. That game also set the stage for the most notable rumor of the day, a report linking the Clippers and Cavaliers in potential James Harden discussions centered on a Harden for Darius Garland framework. Manji framed the rumor through both performance and betting lenses, noting Cleveland's underwhelming position relative to preseason expectations, Garland's limited availability, and Harden's continued high level production despite his familiar trade cycle narrative. From there, the show pivoted back to the court with detailed breakdowns of Tuesday's NBA slate, starting with Denver visiting Detroit in a revenge spot with Nikola Jokic back in the lineup, a factor Manji emphasized heavily given Detroit's uneven performance as a home favorite. He also examined Orlando's trip to Oklahoma City, pointing to the Thunder's injuries, non conference struggles against the spread, and Orlando's ability to stay competitive despite absences. In Philadelphia's matchup with Golden State, Manji questioned the Warriors' ability to score without multiple key players and leaned on the Sixers' strong record on the second night of back to backs. Around the league, he touched on recent results, pace driven matchups like Miami versus Atlanta, and the broader rhythm of a season nearing its midpoint. On the NFL side, while a full Super Bowl breakdown was saved for later in the week, Manji discussed prop angles involving depth players and role receivers, focusing on how game plans could force secondary contributors into meaningful roles. He closed by reinforcing disciplined betting principles, promoting long term consistency over short term swings, and locking in Philadelphia plus the points as his best bet, underscoring depth, momentum, and situational trends as the deciding factors.

Originally recorded in 3 parts, The OKC Bombing. ⁠www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast⁠On April 19, 1995, at 9:02 a.m., a massive truck bomb detonated outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people—including 19 children—and injuring hundreds more. The explosion destroyed nearly half the building and left the nation stunned, marking one of the deadliest acts of domestic terrorism in American history.This episode presents a comprehensive, start-to-finish examination of the Oklahoma City bombing. It begins with a detailed reconstruction of the events leading up to the attack and the moments immediately following the blast, including the chaos, devastation, and extraordinary rescue efforts carried out by first responders and volunteers. The scale of the destruction and the human cost of the tragedy are laid out in stark detail.The episode then turns to the official investigation and prosecution of Timothy McVeigh. It explores how McVeigh was identified, arrested during a routine traffic stop just 90 minutes after the bombing, and ultimately convicted. Key evidence, witness testimony, and the broader ideological motivations behind the attack are examined, along with the role of anti-government extremism in the 1990s.From there, the discussion expands beyond the official narrative to explore the questions and controversies that have lingered for decades. The episode investigates claims of additional accomplices, unresolved inconsistencies, and the circumstances surrounding the death of Oklahoma City police officer Sergeant Terry Yeakey—a decorated hero of the rescue effort whose death was officially ruled a suicide, but remains a focal point of ongoing speculation.The episode concludes by examining how conspiracy theories surrounding the bombing developed, why they persist, and how tragedy, distrust, and unanswered questions continue to shape public perception nearly thirty years later.

The guys react to the breaking news of the Broncos promoting Davis Webb to be the offensive coordinator of the Broncos. Will Webb be calling plays during the 2026 season? Zach and Phil continue to react to the news of Davis Webb being promoted to the Broncos offensive coordinator and debate if Sean Payton would consider giving up play calling or if Broncos' ownership could insist on Webb calling plays next year.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday January 30th. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler closed out the final week of January with a wide ranging betting discussion that blended NBA analysis, early Super Bowl angles, and a review of recent results. The show opened with a recap of Thursday night's NBA slate, where prior handicaps largely held up. A Pistons Suns under cashed despite a fast first half, aided by a slow fourth quarter once Phoenix built a commanding lead. Minnesota's outright win over Oklahoma City and Miami's narrow victory over Chicago also aligned with expectations, while the lone frustration came from Dallas, where a high scoring Hornets Mavericks game spoiled an under despite a favorable closing number. The conversation highlighted how game flow and late quarter dynamics can ultimately decide totals regardless of early pace. Attention then shifted to Friday's NBA card, beginning with Portland visiting New York. Both hosts focused on situational factors, including Portland's injuries, the end of an East Coast trip, and the Knicks' upcoming matchup with the Lakers. While New York has been strong as a home favorite, Essler emphasized Portland's improved recent defense and the likelihood of a controlled tempo, particularly if Robert Williams were to play. The consensus leaned toward the under, with both suggesting a scenario where New York pulls ahead and manages minutes late. The second featured matchup was Toronto at Orlando, where the low total drew immediate attention. Orlando's recent defensive struggles contrasted with Toronto's consistency, especially on the road. Despite the Magic playing without Franz Wagner, Essler viewed the total as over adjusted, while Manji focused on a Raptors bounce back spot after a lopsided loss to New York. That led to support for Toronto on the money line and a Raptors team total over, based on Orlando's declining defensive efficiency. The show also briefly touched on the rest of the Friday schedule, noting interest in Cavaliers Suns, Clippers Nuggets, and a high variance Nets Jazz matchup, as well as the Lakers Wizards game, which later became Manji's best bet over due to both teams' defensive issues and pace considerations. NFL discussion followed, starting with prop bets tied to Super Bowl 60. Essler recommended Marcus Jones over tackles and assists, citing his role near the line of scrimmage and consistent usage in recent playoff games. Manji countered with a combined sacks over, pointing to pressure tendencies from both defenses and the likelihood of disrupted quarterback play. Speculation about minor injuries to Drake May was dismissed as noise, with both agreeing that any serious concern would already be reflected in the market. The episode concluded with best bets, Essler backing a scoring over for George in a favorable matchup, and Manji riding another Lakers over. The tone remained analytical but pragmatic, reinforcing the idea that value comes from understanding context, market movement, and how games are likely to unfold rather than simply chasing headlines or narratives.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday and much more. On Thursday, January 29, 2026, Munaf Manji and Dave Essler convened for another episode of Cash That Ticket on RJ Bell's Dream Preview, breaking down NBA matchups, reacting to major league news, and adding another layer to their ongoing Super Bowl prop discussion. The show opened with reflections on recent betting results, including strong NBA reads despite a narrow college basketball loss, before pivoting quickly to the headline news that dominated the day. A report emerged that Giannis Antetokounmpo could be headed for a new home at or after the February 5 NBA trade deadline, with Milwaukee listening to aggressive offers. Rather than a direct trade request, the framing suggested leverage-building by the Bucks, prompting a discussion about timing, asset maximization, and which contenders could realistically assemble a package centered on draft capital and young talent. Teams like New York, Miami, Houston, Oklahoma City, and Toronto were evaluated, with Houston standing out as a long-shot futures value due to its combination of veterans, young players, and draft assets, currently priced around 19 to 1 to win the NBA title. The conversation then shifted to the night's NBA slate, starting with Detroit at Phoenix. With Devin Booker sidelined, both hosts leaned into the defensive profiles and slow pace of the matchup, favoring the under and expressing interest in Phoenix as a home underdog. Jalen Duren's rebounding production against the Suns was highlighted, leading to a prop recommendation on his over 10.5 rebounds based on consistent head-to-head success and Detroit's interior scoring emphasis. The second game analyzed featured Oklahoma City visiting Minnesota in a divisional rematch. Despite market movement toward the Thunder, concerns about Minnesota's back-to-back fatigue, Oklahoma City injuries, and inflated road chalk drove both toward the under on a relatively low total of 224.5, with cautious disagreement on the side. Attention then turned to Super Bowl props for Patriots versus Seahawks. Dave Essler added Rhamondre Stevenson over 76.5 rushing and receiving yards, citing his late-season workload, rest advantage, and Seattle's vulnerability to running backs in the passing game. Munaf countered with Cooper Kupp over 32.5 receiving yards, pointing to modest usage thresholds, recent playoff production, and the likelihood that New England's defensive focus on Jaxon Smith-Njigba opens opportunities elsewhere. In best bets, Essler went off the board with a futures play on Michigan at 5 to 1 to win the NCAA men's basketball championship, grounding the pick in offensive and defensive efficiency trends. Munaf closed with his official play on Jalen Duren's rebounding prop, reinforcing confidence in the matchup. The episode wrapped with reminders about Pregame promotions and a promise to return with more NBA analysis and Super Bowl props as the week continued. Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji talks betting for Tuesday Jan 27th. Tuesday's Cash That Ticket podcast focused heavily on the NBA betting board while continuing an early buildup toward Super Bowl prop markets. Coming off a winning best bet on the Lakers Bulls over, the discussion opened with a detailed recap of recent results and quickly shifted to current league news that could impact pricing and market movement. The most significant update involved Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is expected to miss four to six weeks with a calf sprain suffered before halftime of his most recent appearance. The injury was framed as another setback for a Milwaukee team already derailed by Damian Lillard's Achilles injury last season, with the belief that any Giannis trade discussions are more likely to materialize in the offseason rather than at the deadline, when value would be harder to maximize. Attention then turned to Drew Holiday, with reporting that the Knicks are exploring trade avenues. His two way impact, playoff experience, and ability to stabilize an offense were cited as reasons he could elevate a contender, particularly New York, by easing the nightly burden on Jalen Brunson while anchoring perimeter defense. The episode also reviewed Monday's slate, including Atlanta's home win over Indiana, Charlotte's lopsided victory against Philadelphia, Cleveland's defensive minded win over Orlando, Minnesota's dominant performance against a Steph Curry less Golden State, and Houston's win over Memphis behind Alperen Sengun. Kevin Durant's January production for Houston drew special praise, noting his heavy minutes, consistent scoring, and efficiency across shooting splits, reinforcing his importance to the Rockets' playoff push. Updated standings showed Detroit leading the East with a sizable cushion, while Oklahoma City maintained control of the West. From a betting perspective, Knicks Kings was highlighted as a strong spot for New York's offense, particularly the team total, given Sacramento's poor defensive metrics. Pistons Nuggets was analyzed through an injury lens, with Denver missing multiple starters including Nikola Jokic, leading to an under recommendation based on pace, rest, and Detroit's elite recent defense. Clippers Jazz hinged on Kawhi Leonard's status, with James Harden positioned for increased usage if Leonard sits against a depleted Utah defense. The Super Bowl segment introduced an early prop angle on Patriots quarterback Drake May, targeting his rushing yards over, based on prior playoff usage and similar quarterback production against Seattle's defense. The show closed with a featured NBA prop on Jalen Brunson points and assists, banking on a healthy return and a favorable matchup against the Kings. Learn more about your ad choices.

Keith Paul of Good Egg Dining discusses the challenges and strategies of navigating the modern hospitality landscape, particularly in the Tulsa and Oklahoma City markets. Keith shares insights on the resilience of the restaurant industry, his philosophy of hands-on coaching and management, and the necessity of prioritizing human connection over "clunky" AI and automation in service. They also examine the economic pressures facing the industry, from minimum wage hikes in California to the rising Consumer Price Index (CPI), emphasizing that slow, intentional growth and a picky hiring process are key to long-term stability.Key Takeaways Industry Resilience: Despite revenue problems and national chaos, the restaurant industry remains one of the most resilient sectors. Coaching as Management: Keith's approach to leadership involves understanding the court (the business) and coaching people rather than just managing silos. Local Market Focus: Keith emphasizes the value of a deep local presence in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, managing multiple successful concepts within a specific neighborhood. Recruiting for "Smiles": Hiring should focus on innate hospitality traits—like a genuine smile and comfort with people—rather than just technical server skills. The AI Disconnect: Many current AI and robotic solutions in restaurants are still "clunky" and risk devaluing the human experience. Picky Growth: Success often comes from having no desire for rapid, uncontrolled expansion; instead, being picky about the team and locations ensures quality. Economic Pressures: External factors like the $20 minimum wage in California and general CPI increases are creating "scary" new realities for hospitality margins. Deep Customer Conversations: Moving beyond surface-level interactions to "deeper conversations" is essential for high-value enterprise wins. High-Fidelity Service: In an era of mobile apps and digital exposure, the fastest way to lose a customer is to neglect the "human" element of the mission

The Pacers walk back into Oklahoma City and do the most Pacers thing possible — they beat the NBA's best team and exorcise some serious demons. Indiana avenges last year's Game 7 heartbreak with a cathartic win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, delivering one of the most fun nights of an otherwise frustrating season. A career night from Jarace Walker, elite defense from Johnny Furphy in the starting lineup, and a near triple-double on hyper-efficient shooting from Andrew Nembhard powered the win. The Pacers did it shorthanded, too — without Tyrese Haliburton in the building, as he shared with Taylor Rooks that it was still too soon to return following his Game 7 Achilles injury. He made it clear though: the next time he's in OKC, he plans to be in uniform. A night of redemption, release, and a reminder of what this group is capable of when it all clicks.

Helen Hynson Vettori (https://www.helenhynsonvettori.com/) is a former EMT/paramedic and retired senior medical intelligence analyst at the Department of Homeland Security. We have her on the show to share her insights and the two sci-fi thriller novels she wrote based on her experiences. Helen channeled her real-world emergency response and pandemic-planning experience into her sci-fi disaster thriller series, beginning with Black Swan Impact and followed by Black Swan Shock. A “Black Swan” event is a term used to describe a catastrophic incident that no one could have foreseen or imagined because of its unprecedented impact. Helen didn't imagine crisis from the outside, rather she spent years preparing for biological threats, including pandemics, and then watched COVID unfold in real time. That insider perspective and her frustration with confusing messaging and federal missteps became the fuel for fiction that feels uncomfortably plausible. Dr. Joe Holley from Paragon Medical Education Group joined the podcast as well as our disaster emergency management expert Becky DePodwin and our disaster weather expert Dan DePodwin. The episode is co-hosted by Sam Bradley and Jamie Davis. Scroll down for Podcast Discussion Summary Thank you as always to Paragon Medical Education Group for their long-term support of the Disaster Podcast. Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary Winter Storm Impact and Preparations The meeting focused on a major winter storm expected to impact large parts of the United States, with Dan providing detailed forecasts of snow, ice, and travel disruptions across multiple regions. The group discussed the storm’s potential effects on various cities, including Oklahoma City, Atlanta, and the Northeast, emphasizing the danger of ice accumulation and power outages. They also advised listeners to consider rescheduling flights and prepare for travel disruptions, particularly in the affected areas. The conversation ended with an introduction to their guest, Helen Hinson Vittori, a former EMT and intelligence analyst at the Department of Homeland Security, who will discuss her experiences during the pandemic. Emergency Response Expert’s Pandemic Novel Helen shared her extensive background in emergency response, including her work as a paramedic, her role in biothreat planning at DHS, and her experience creating pandemic response plans. She retired in 2018 but became concerned about the government’s response to COVID-19 in 2020, which led her to write a sci-fi political thriller novel called “Black Swan Impact” that explores a catastrophic pathogen event in the year 2113. The novel served as a cathartic way for her to process the chaotic response to the pandemic she had witnessed firsthand. Emergency Preparedness Through Personal Writing Helen shared her experience as an emergency manager and author, discussing how writing provided her with both peace and a mission to educate others about emergency preparedness. She emphasized that individual preparedness is crucial for both personal and community-level disasters, and highlighted a book club question in her second book, “Black Swan Shock,” that encourages readers to assess their own emergency preparedness. Federal Pandemic Planning and Leadership Helen shared her experience working on federal pandemic plans and witnessing their partial abandonment during the actual crisis, expressing disappointment in leadership’s failure to communicate effectively and adhere to established protocols. The discussion explored how better preparation and public education could improve future responses to pandemics and other disasters, with Helen emphasizing the importance of all-hazard planning that starts at the individual level. The group agreed to have Helen return for another podcast episode, and several connections were made between participants for future discussions. Wrap up and updates The team went through contact information and Joe shared that Paragon is working on a new cadaveric-based simulator for pericardial tamponade training. The team encouraged listeners to stay safe and check out Helen’s books. The group discussed the role of specialized training, with Jamie highlighting the sponsorship of the Disaster Podcast by Paragon Medical Education Group.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday The Wednesday edition of Cash That Ticket centered on actionable NBA betting angles as Munaf Manji and Dave Essler evaluated form, scheduling spots, and market inflation across a lighter slate. Both emphasized the importance of emotional discipline after losses, noting January had still been profitable overall, and pointed to Anthony Edwards late scoring surge the previous night as an example of variance cutting both ways. The discussion shifted quickly to games offering potential value, beginning with Cleveland visiting Charlotte. Despite Cleveland's stronger profile, Essler leaned toward the Hornets as a home underdog, citing Cleveland's struggles as a road favorite and Charlotte's ability to control pace at home following a long West Coast trip. Manji agreed, highlighting Cleveland's poor against the spread record in that role and reiterating his preference for home underdogs in midseason NBA spots. Attention then turned to Oklahoma City at Milwaukee, where the Thunder were installed as heavy road favorites. Essler argued the number was inflated by Oklahoma City's elite reputation, noting Milwaukee's reliance on three point shooting and Oklahoma City's relative vulnerability defending the perimeter. He backed the Bucks plus the points and leaned under the total, expecting Milwaukee to slow the tempo. Manji echoed concerns about Oklahoma City's depth due to multiple absences and suggested live betting opportunities if the Thunder built an early lead. Both agreed the Bucks could keep the game competitive if their shooting held, especially with Giannis Antetokounmpo positioned to make an impact despite managed minutes. In best bets, Essler moved to college basketball, backing Tulsa at home against Memphis based on offensive efficiency, free throw shooting, and matchup advantages. Manji closed with an NBA total, playing under in Celtics versus Pacers, pointing to recent defensive form, slower Boston pace, and prior meetings that stayed well below the number. The episode reinforced a consistent theme of targeting situational value rather than marquee teams, with an emphasis on market perception, scheduling context, and discipline as the NBA season grinds forward.

Munaf Manji talk betting for Tuesday January 20th Munaf Manji opened the Tuesday edition of Cash That Ticket with a fast paced review of the NBA landscape, blending recent results with betting context and league wide developments. Detroit continued its strong season by edging Boston 104 to 103, cashing an under Manji highlighted before the game. Cade Cunningham delivered a double double with 16 points and 14 assists, while Jalen Brown scored 32 in the loss. The Pistons improved to 31 and 10, strengthened their grip on the top seed in the Eastern Conference, and moved to 18 and 4 at home, reinforcing their profile as a legitimate contender midway through the schedule. Golden State followed with a 135 to 112 win over Miami in a game that featured the pace and scoring Manji anticipated. The Warriors poured in 70 first half points and finished with 247 combined points, easily clearing the total. Stephen Curry posted 19 points and 11 assists, but the night turned somber when Jimmy Butler suffered a torn ACL that will sideline him for the remainder of the season. The injury halted a strong stretch in which Golden State had won four straight and seven of ten, raising immediate questions about roster direction and how the front office may respond with one of its top players facing a long recovery at age 37. Around the league, Phoenix beat Brooklyn 126 to 117, Philadelphia handled Indiana 113 to 104 behind Tyrese Maxey's 29 points, eight assists, and eight steals, and Dallas dominated New York at Madison Square Garden. Oklahoma City delivered a statement performance in Cleveland, winning 136 to 104 after a decisive fourth quarter surge, while Milwaukee edged Atlanta on the road. The episode also covered the announcement of NBA All Star starters. The Western Conference lineup featured Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous Alexander, Stephen Curry, and Victor Wembanyama. The East was led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, Cade Cunningham, Tyrese Maxey, Jalen Brunson, and Jalen Brown. Manji noted the voting breakdown, with fan votes accounting for half the total and players and media splitting the rest, and pointed out that LeBron James will miss an All Star start for the first time since his rookie season. The discussion set the stage for upcoming betting angles and deeper breakdowns later in the week, while keeping focus on actionable information tied directly to current form, injuries, and market performance.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1307 "False Flags Exposed: How Elites Use Trauma, Assassinations & Las Vegas to Control the Masses – Ole Dammegård Reveals the Patterns You Can't Ignore" Richard interviews Ole Dammegård, former journalist turned world-leading expert on false flag operations. He reveals recurring "identifiers" that expose staged incidents, the modern "strategy of tension" fueling confusion and division, and how elites weaponize mass trauma—like the Las Vegas shooting—to instill widespread fear, exhaustion, and control. GUEST: Ole Dammegård is a Danish truth seeker, code breaker, and peacemaker, awarded the Prague Peace Prize and adopted by the Apache Nation (receiving the Native name Wiyakpayela Wunzi, meaning "Bright One"). An author, international speaker, former journalist, musician (with two solo albums), composer, artist, inventor, and investigator, he has dedicated over 45 years to researching global conspiracies. Regarded as a leading expert on false flag operations, Ole has conducted 500–1,200 international interviews, accurately predicted dozens of alleged terror events months in advance, and reportedly prevented several planned massacres. His investigations focus on political assassinations (JFK, RFK, MLK, Olof Palme, John Lennon, Princess Diana) and events like 9/11 and Oklahoma City.
