The Musers The Podcast

Decemeber 18, 2025 - The Cowboys’ playoff hopes are effectively gone after a Sunday night loss to the Vikings, but the conversation is far from over. George Dunham and Bob Sturm break down why this team cannot be trusted, how a historically bad defense keeps finding new ways to embarrass itself, and why flashy offensive numbers keep failing to turn into points. From fourth down disasters and schematic confusion to coaching decisions, personnel failures, and the familiar feeling of December disappointment, the guys sort through what still matters in the final three games and whether there is any real hope left to build on heading into the future.

December 17, 2025 - The Musers sit down for a holiday episode built around Christmas memories and traditions that have stuck with them over the years. They talk about the gifts they obsessed over as kids, the ones they never got, the ones that meant more than expected, and the moments when the Santa story started to fall apart. Along the way there are stories about late-night Christmas saves, family rituals, snow versus Texas Christmases, and how memories change once you’re the parent instead of the kid.

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.

The Musers hit episode 20 with a weirdly hilarious look at sex bots and how real connection might be dying - Gordo’s favorite kind of wild thought, one that quickly turns into laughs, knee-jerk freak-outs across age groups, then moments that feel kinda heavy, like staring into nothing. Kicks off with emails from listeners before shifting gears into a mix of laughs and heavy thoughts on tech, feeling alone, yet somehow keeping humor alive while talking about how actual connections are slowly falling apart. Gordo wonders out loud about robot partners, fake bodies with heat tech, also what happens when you sit back while your pair of pleasure bots get busy.

Another week, another defensive disaster. The Cowboys go to Carolina and somehow make Rico Dowdle look like Jim Brown.
