The election hangover is real, and Jenn Homestead and Rick Robinson have plenty to say about it!

After opening with a little Oklahoma-Texas football rivalry, the chaos of college football’s NIL system, and a bizarre birthday-party story, Jenn and Rick turn to the 2026 midterm fallout.

Jenn offers a Texas insider’s perspective on what went wrong for Republicans, from Ken Paxton’s political baggage and lackluster campaigning to the GOP’s reliance on negative messaging and its failure to recognize changing voter priorities.

The pair also tackle Trump’s influence on down-ballot candidates, Republican leadership failures, broken campaign promises, and concerns about what Democrats might do with their newfound power.

Is the MAGA era running out of steam? Can Republicans rebuild their message before 2028? And how did a state once considered reliably red end up back in Democratic hands?

It’s football, politics, frustration, and plenty of laughs on another edition of Jenn & Rick.
