April 29, 2026 - Ripped from today's headlines, The Musers wander into one of history’s strangest rabbit holes: presidential assassination attempts, famous misses, forgotten near-misses, and the wildly unwell people behind them. From Andrew Jackson attacking his own would-be killer with a cane, to Teddy Roosevelt taking a bullet and finishing his speech, to Reagan, Ford, and modern chaos, the stories somehow keep getting more unbelievable.

Troy talks Cowboys frustration, working with the Dolphins, life with Joe Buck, staying in elite shape at 59, and why hot yoga might be tougher than winning a Super Bowl. Along the way, he reflects on Jimmy Johnson, Barry Switzer, his brutal 1-15 rookie season, and the strange art of surviving fame in Dallas.

April 16, 2026 - With the draft looming, the Football Friends convene and immediately spiral into trade charts, mock scenarios, and just enough overconfidence to be dangerous. George, Bob, and Coach Dom debate whether the Cowboys should sit tight at 12 or make a bold move up the board, all while trying to read the minds of 32 front offices that rarely agree with the experts.  From Ohio State defenders to mysterious risers, wide receiver runs, and the eternal “best player vs. biggest need” argument, the board gets reshaped in real time. There’s pushback, second-guessing, and at least one moment where everyone realizes the Cowboys might actually have options… which somehow makes it more complicated. By the end, a full first-round mock is in place, complete with a Cowboys outcome that feels both exciting and slightly too good to be true. Just the way draft season should feel.

April 8, 2026 - Gordo takes over and the show immediately drifts into the kind of territory only he can navigate; somewhere between heartfelt pet stories, questionable science, and debates no one saw coming. Along the way, the guys bounce from animal biology to music history, from band psychology to a chicken coop crime scene, all while occasionally circling back to something resembling a point.

March 26, 2026 - Your Football Friends run through the Cowboys’ latest round of mostly modest offseason moves, from Sam Howell and Cobie Durant to what Rashan Gary really changes, while also digging into the technique side of pass rushing and why coaching may matter as much as raw talent for a guy like Sam Williams; they like some of what Dallas has added, but the bigger takeaway is that this still feels like a team doing a lot of patching and a little too little solving, especially at linebacker. Then they get into the bizarre Maxx Crosby almost-trade, what Dallas was reportedly willing to give up, whether the price should come down now that the Baltimore deal blew up, and how the whole thing may have nudged the Cowboys toward Gary in the first place, before closing on the rising receiver market and what it could mean for a future George Pickens deal.

There’s reaction to the Cowboys’ usual free agency approach, a discussion of whether the defensive overhaul is actually building toward something meaningful, and a look at why it’s hard to judge the plan while the shopping is still going on. They also get into trade talk, including the Maxx Crosby drama, the realities of NFL physicals, and what Dallas should be willing to gamble on if it wants to make a real move. Add in some quarterback depth talk, backup job competition, and the usual mix of sharp analysis and nonsense, and it’s Football Friends doing what it does best. Learn more about your ad choices.

Match 5, 2026 - The Cowboys' offseason is underway and that means one thing: trying to decipher what exactly Jerry Jones is saying from the NFL Combine bus. George and Bob break down the Cowboys’ spending habits, and whether Dallas is actually serious about pushing chips to the center of the table in free agency. They dig into the numbers behind the Cowboys’ massive financial advantage, why that hasn’t translated into aggressive roster building, and what a real “all-in” approach might actually look like this time around. Then things get existential when Craig “Junior” Miller drops by with a question Cowboys fans have been wrestling with for decades: can this franchise ever truly win big with the current structure in place? The discussion spirals into stubborn owners, hypothetical tipping points, and whether fans are simply trying to outlast Jerry. Jerry Jones is saying from the NFL Combine bus.

Craig admits that, yes, at least one human being outside his immediate friend group made an impact. Along the way: legendary broadcasters, sports heroes, overblown movie myths, unrealized potential, and the eternal question — are you actually giving your best, or just convincing yourself you are?

February 26, 2026: The offseason is anything but quiet. Your Football Friends break down the arrival of Christian Parker and what his modern, top-down defensive philosophy could mean for a unit that gave up far too many explosive plays. He won the press conference. Now comes the hard part. The guys discuss re-signing Javonte Williams, the value of “dogs” in the backfield, and whether Dallas needs more speed behind him. Then it’s free agency talk: could Nakobe Dean be the right fit next to DeMarvion Overshown? Draft season ramps up with analyst Dominic Robinson joining to evaluate picks 12 and 20.

Pacifiers were boiled for the first kid and wiped off on a sleeve for the third. Along the way: imaginary basketball teammates and dogs, driveway parenting mistakes, sibling rivalries, inheritance theory, and whether the Brady Bunch could have survived an internal dating scandal.

February 19, 2026 - Are the Cowboys actually cap-strapped… or is that just accounting theater? This week on Football Friends, George and Bob zoom out and ask the question that should drive every decision in 2026 and beyond: What is the window? With Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and a core in their primes, the reality may be a two-to-three-year push — not a slow rebuild. That shifts everything. Do you draft younger “developing” players… or guys ready to contribute by Week 3? Do you trade picks for a veteran like Maxx Crosby? Is George Pickens a no-brainer long-term deal? And what does “busting the budget” actually mean when the Cowboys can create more than $100 million in space with a few restructures? Bob breaks down how the cap really works. George lays out his offseason priority list. Together, they debate whether Dallas is positioned to make an aggressive move, or if they’ll once again play it cautious. If the window is now, the decisions better reflect it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

February 18, 2026 - Mark Cuban once offered Gordon a six figure payday to legally change his name to “Dallas Maverick.” One year. Simple. He said no. Why? Integrity? Pride? Philosophy? Or just stubbornness? That story becomes the launchpad for a bigger question: are people inherently good, inherently bad, or just very skilled at rationalizing whatever they were already going to do? From there, the Musers spiral into the ethics of terminal diagnoses and crime rates, the honor system and surveillance cameras, religion as guardrail, grocery store morality, Sophie’s Choice, the trolley problem, and whether most of our “good” behavior is just enlightened self-interest. Somewhere along the way, goats enter the chat. What starts as a name change anecdote turns into a surprisingly thoughtful, frequently ridiculous exploration of human nature. Are we neutral until tempted? Do laws make us good? Would we still behave if no one was watching? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

February 12, 2026 - The NFL season is over, and the offseason reality is setting in. George and Bob break down the Seahawks’ Super Bowl win and what it says about team building in today’s NFL.

They revisit DeMarcus Lawrence’s blunt exit comments and ask the uncomfortable question: when a longtime insider says it’ll never work here, should we listen? From franchise tags and George Pickens to draft strategy, cap math, and whether Dallas should double down on offense, the guys map out the most important decisions ahead. Plus, a reflection on Roger Staubach’s legacy, why belief still matters, and a tribute to legendary Cowboys superfan Miss Price. The offseason has begun. The questions aren’t getting any easier.

February 11, 2026 - Why does the death of someone we’ve never met sometimes hit harder than the loss of people we actually knew? This week, the Musers wrestle with the strange, emotional power of celebrity death. From actors and musicians to athletes and comedians, they explore why certain losses feel personal, how art and performance weave themselves into our own life stories, and why the passing of a public figure can feel like losing a piece of ourselves. The conversation ranges from NFL Films and childhood heroes to John Prine, Norm Macdonald, Anthony Bourdain, and the people whose work shaped who we were at different stages of life. Along the way, they confront mortality, memory, grief, and the uneasy truth and business of their own pending demise. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

February 5, 2026 - From Radio Row at Super Bowl 60 in San Francisco, George Dunham and Bob Sturm reconnect for a Cowboys edition of The Musers Podcast. Being on site sparks reflection on what the Super Bowl still represents to Cowboys fans and how strange it feels that Dallas has been absent for so long. The conversation explores the Cowboys’ 30-year wilderness through probability, perspective, and hard-earned fandom, including why the NFL’s built-in randomness keeps the door open even when history says otherwise. Somewhere in the middle, George shares a thought he has not voiced publicly before, one that reframes how soon “someday” might actually be. They also take a deeper look at DeMarcus Lawrence, his exit from Dallas, and why his value was never captured by sack totals alone. Using years of “splash plays” data, Bob explains why Lawrence was one of the Cowboys’ most impactful defenders and why his legacy deserves a second look. The episode closes with Super Bowl 60 talk, touching on the Seahawks–Patriots matchup, Sam Darnold’s winding career arc, and a broader reflection on how failure, development, and patience shape NFL careers.

January 14, 2026 - This episode is about parenthood. Craig talks about becoming a "later-in-life" dad at 55 and why it changed how he thinks about time, patience, and what really matters. George reflects on raising kids at a very young age, and while still figuring life out himself. Gordo looks at how perspective shifts when you step back and see the whole arc. They get into starting young versus starting late, fear versus readiness, discipline, phones, freedom, and the parts of parenting no one ever feels fully prepared for.

There is humor where it naturally appears, but this is mostly a grounded discussion about persistence, fear, and why big challenges rarely feel heroic while you are inside them. Hard things are endured one piece at a time, whether you are racing, rebuilding, performing, or asking out the hottest girl in college. Learn more about your ad choices.
