J.P. is back with an update from sickbay. It's his turn to ride the Covid merry-go-round. He took a recent trip to the Sun City and shares his favorite restaurant spot that he'll miss. A Longhorns coach legend, Cliff Gustafson, passed away and what a legacy he leaves. Would TCU's title be the greatest in our state's great history? Twitter: Instagram:

The Core 4 (Josh, J.P., Paul, and Mitch) gather in the Season 2 finale to confess their Texas souls. While they are card carrying native Texans there is still plenty to knock off the bucket list. 3:15 Before they dive into the main topic at hand three of the guys argue about The Power of the Dog on Netflix. J.P. has come a long way since his film professor ragged on him in college. 7:10 J.P. intros the topic of the show. 7:45 Paul is first up in the rotation with a reference to a famous Texas song and J.P. sarcastically breaks down the lyrics. As the former Mr. Texan there isn’t much Paul...

Josh immediately consoles J.P. right out of the gate after the end of that poo poo Cowboys season. Kevin (3:30) is inconsolable and didn't even come on the podcast. Josh says to flush it and just give up following the team and he's got the Rockets to root for so it could be worse (5:00).  They start by focusing on the ending (6:10), and it perfectly sums up this dumpster fire of an organization. And a wild concept (10:00) San Francisco was just the better team. J.P. requotes himself from a recent not-Texas radio appearance, (12:10) ranking this season-ender just behind the Dez no-catch...

J.P. & Josh take an early offseason look at the activity and non-activity of their favorite Texas teams. 

Before they get into the nitty-gritty (1:30) J.P. puts Josh on the spot for a spontaneous Texas high school football road trip. Then they break down (3:45) the early offseason storylines from the AL champs. Josh is ok with his team not spending before the lockdown shut things down. Dusty Baker is back (7:00) and you can't really say that's a bad move. But the big story is Carlos Correa not coming back (10:00). Who's the in-house candidate to fill that huge hole, or do they go shopping in the bargain bin? Justin Verlander is back (16:30) and that solidifies the Astros rotation up towards the top of the American League.

J.P. is understandably giddy about his Rangers flurry of moves (21:45)! Marcus Semien got the ball rolling (24:20) and Corey Seager was soon to follow. He comes to Arlington as one of the best hitting shortstops in the game. Texas is speeding up the rebuilding process. Hopefully Jon Gray (32:55) won't be the last pitcher signed in the offseason. The front office (34:45) has earned fans trust adding midlevel starting pitching and this probably isn't the offseason to add front of the line pitching with the young starting pitching right around the corner. And let's not forget the addition of Kole Calhoun! (38:15)
