Football teams get a bye week. Apparently, accountability does too.

Jenn and Rick kick things off with OU–Texas rivalry talk, a little Sooner misery, and a reminder that the Red River matchup rarely cares what the rankings say. Then the conversation moves to the places where the referees seem to have stopped blowing the whistle.

On the menu: government fraud and spending, the A’ja Wilson fan confrontation and the hosts’ criticism of the WNBA’s response, a Nebraska firefighter’s homeschool-diploma dispute, and allegations involving restricted AI hardware headed to China.

There’s also a live reaction to Pete Hegseth’s military remarks, a discussion of gas prices and refining capacity, and a detour through Green Day, Nickelback, guyliner, and the glorious awkwardness of the early internet.

A Sooner and a Longhorn can disagree about football and still find plenty of common ground about everything else going sideways.

Explicit episode. Strong language and adult themes. Listener discretion advised.
