January 15, 2026: Another Cowboys season ends without a playoff run, so George and Bob do what they always do: try to make sense of it. They dig into the aftermath of the season, including the firing of the defensive coordinator, Jerry Jones’ end-of-year comments, and why Dak Prescott’s post-season quotes struck a nerve. The conversation turns to roster construction in today’s NFL, whether it’s smarter to build around an elite quarterback or an elite defense, and what recent playoff teams tell us about how close or far away the Cowboys really are. There’s also a look at Hard Knocks in-season, what it reveals about coaching, leadership, and the human side of the league. The episode wraps with thoughts from a wild playoff weekend and a preview of something special next week: a full revisit of Super Bowl X and the 1975 Cowboys, fifty years later.

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 are no answers here, just three different paths through the same lifelong journey. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
January 8, 2025 - The Cowboys' season ends with another letdown, and George Dunham and Bob Sturm try to make sense of what went wrong. They break down the Giants finale, Dak’s usage, Brian Schottenheimer’s authority, and the firing of Matt Eberflus, plus what it really takes to fix the league’s worst defense. The conversation expands to coaching power, organizational culture, Jerry Jones’ influence, and whether meaningful change is even possible. The episode wraps with a look back at the 1975 NFC Championship run and a wide-open playoff bracket that no longer includes Dallas. Honest, frustrated, and forward-looking Cowboys talk.

January 7, 2026 - It’s the first Musers Podcast of 2026, and the guys ease into the new year by doing what they do best: reflecting, overthinking, and undercutting each other along the way. Gordon revisits decades of old resolutions, George and Craig question the entire concept, and the conversation expands into fear: fear of failure, fear of success, fear of the unknown, and why “progress, not perfection” might be the only resolution that actually matters. A new year episode that isn’t about becoming someone else, but maybe being a little better to yourself. And yes, learning to celebrate your sandwiches. Learn more about your ad choices.

December 10, 2025 - What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever done? This episode centers on real difficulty, not highlight reels. Craig recounts chasing long-held endurance goals and what those experiences took out of him physically and mentally. The conversation widens to other kinds of hard. Physical labor that breaks you down. Career moments where fear is unavoidable. Grief that does not resolve on a timeline. And the small, personal risks that feel enormous when you are standing in them. 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.
