Your Dark Companion Podcast

Well, nobody saw THAT coming. In this unplanned emergency edition of The OG, Mike, Norm Hitzges, and Greggo drop everything (including their fantasy draft) to break down the Cowboys’ jaw-dropping trade of Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers.
Yep—Dallas just shipped off its generational pass-rushing freak for Kenny Clark and a pair of first-round picks, while Green Bay signed Parsons to a record-shattering $188 million contract. Highest-paid non-QB in NFL history. Let that sink in.
Norm calls it a cap move, Greggo calls it a generational mistake, and Mike calls it a classic “Rob Peter to pay Paul” situation. Together, they rip into Jerry Jones’ decision-making, the Cowboys’ salary cap circus, and what life after Micah looks like in Dallas. Meanwhile, Packers fans might already be planning the statue.
It’s raw, it’s funny, it’s unscripted—and it’s exactly why you love The OG.

Creators and Guests

Host
Mike Rhyner
Mike Rhyner… "a little on the bumpy side, but rather likable"…so stated famously by a grade school teacher in Oak Cliff, where Mike grew up. A complicated guy, yet a guy who can do long division and remember call strike three to A Rod. Probably best left unattended. Don't expect assistance from him if a medical situation arises.

What is Your Dark Companion Podcast?

"Whatever I want it to be about on a given day; is what it is." Your Dark Companion couples your familiar friends from radio, Mike and Grubes! Mike brings his classic interviews that draw you in, and Grubes—The Devil—drops…well the drops, and throws the occasional grenade. Mike likes to draw on his fascinating acquaintances and friends allowing them to tell their stories as you've never heard them. But he also goes outside his network, sharing Grubes' network, and often outside of both, to bring you those they don't know, but believe have a story that will make you laugh, make you think, think differently, or just entertain you…"that's what we are trying to do here."
