The Unrestricted With Vex and The Bulldog
A sports podcast about nothing. Literally nothing. Well, some sports, most sports, some social commentary, laughs, jokes, insults and other assorted fun.
Ep 140 - Summer Vacation, Spurs Debate and Archie's Crowning (Manning not the Comic)

Well, Jeff is back form his driving tour. His daughter impresses with her recall of Vacation jokes and then we talk the Spurs. Yes, we did do a quick recap of the NBA Finals, sorry Pacers. We talk some tragedy here in Texas and Bob is the one that gets angry at the end.
Ep 139 - It's Too High, Red Pandas and Early Morning CVS Runs

Walter starts by telling us about the majesty of Red Panda before we even getting into the NBA Finals. Yes, we are talking about Red Panda. Should we start a kickstarter to get her on the show? Of course we talk about the carnage at Oakmont and wonder if the argument over who is going to CVS at 3AM continued even after Spaun won the Open. Then Wally starts talking documentaries and Jeff and Bob talk movies, which we use to find Walter’s blind spot - Major League.
Ep 138 - Superstar List, Monks and Bald Heads and Voter Turnout.

So, did we discuss the NBA Finals? Of course we did. And then we argued about superstar list and whether the Finals go back to OKC? Answer is they do, despite Jeff's information. Wemby goes Shaolin retreat and Walter professes an interest in other men's baldness. Sorry. And then we discuss how we doubled the turnout for the mayoral election on our podcast from the rest of the city, even though Wally and Bob did not vote. Sorry, Jeff.
Ep 137 - Happy Trails, NBA Finals Intro and Messy Mens Bathrooms

Knicks fire their coach and we talk some Thunder on Pacer violence. San Antonio had two big losses this week and we go to the polls for a new leader. Then Walter waxes poetic on the difference between mens and womens bathrooms. Yep, we went full toilet humer on ya.
Ep 136 - Social Distancing, Thunder Hate and No More CBDs

Looks like both conference finals are nearing an end. So we dissect what has happened so far. We have some on show therapy to unpack our ambivalence, possibly hate, towards the OKC Thunder. We talk some Project Marvel and the upcoming demise of CBD in Texas, without sports betting to blunt the hurt.
Ep 135 - Thunder are Good, Knicks May be Cursed and burkas for cheerleaders

Well, we went Wally-less. Which given the Knicks performance against the Pacers was a good thing for his blood pressure. What is it with Indiana owning New York? Didn't they get the memo that they are just a fly-over state? We also have some probably inappropriate things to say about Chet Holmgren. And then we wax poetic (or something) about the Dallas Cowboys, and their cheerleaders.
Ep 134 - Playoffs Heat Up, We Get a Plane and Don't Invite JD

Conference Semis or 2nd Round. Whatever you call it, the playoffs are heating up and Jeff can barely get to work. And Wally has a new job and we discuss the pros and cons of convenience stores. Strap in folks. We are still hoping for a plane from a foreign nation.
Ep 133 - Pop Retires, Mitch Takes Over and We Go On Location at the SAMA Tradeshow

Our thanks to the San Antonio Manufacturing Association and Mike Harn for letting us record on the floor at the 2025 Trade Show. We had a fun conversation about coaches and their girlfriends, monthly salaries, manufacturing and then we talked Pop and his retirement. Mike had a hot take advocating that Becky Hammond should have been tapped for the job heading the Spurs. And we actually agreed. Wally was off with his food truck so wasn’t available to get mad.
Ep 132 - Walter is Mobile, Playoffs are Wild and We Talk Sanders

NFL Draft is behind us so we don't have to talk about Shedeur San.....oh wait, we do. Then we talk about the Cowboys. And we are trying some new things with audio, so tell us what you think.
Ep 131 - Draft Day Rules the Roost, NBA Playoffs Still a Thing, and Wemby Plays Soccer

Ok, let’s be honest. The NFL rules all. A show about people walking across a stage destroys the viewing for NBA playoffs. Marketing geniuses they are. And the city of Green Bay’s population swells. Then we talk some Rory after a while. And then we leave. Have a great weekend folks. Enjoy the flowers.
Ep 130 - Crop Rising and Florida Wins the Madness, Yep we talk about the game

We;;, after a weekend of college basketball madness, we have to talk about this Final Four. Like Dylan told us last week, this was four of the top rated teams from the last few years, and the games didn't disappoint. Between the defensive play of the teams, epic comebacks and frenetic play, there was something for everyone to watch. Then we talk briefly about golf. Hope your Tuesday is good.
Ep 129 - Unrestricted Invites Dylan Lieck to the Show and Ja goes Full Arm Rifle

Dylan Lieck from the Slobberknocker Sports Podcast joins the show and geeks out with Jeff on the Final Four. Bob reprises his Silent Bob role as he just stands back and listens.

Ep 128 - Brackets are Here!! And Final Four is coming to The Alamo City! Giddy-up Fans!

Well, the worse time of the year is here if you are concerned with your own productivity. So here we go waist deep into the NCAA brackets. Then we talk more about the Spurs and where we might be. Anyone behind our plan to just promote the entire G League team?
Ep 127 - Spurs Hatred (Sorry, Not Sorry), NFL Free Agency and Cowboys OffSeason Roundup

Sorry folks, we took an impromptu early Spring Break. If you're in Texas, you can understand the Spring Break love that is here. If you're not, well then you're not. We talk some Sours recency and watch us slide into a purgatory or sorts as the interim coaching staff invokes Jeff's Anger Bot and then We get into Aaron Rodgers hate, too. :-). Enjoy
Ep 126 - We Wax Nostalgic about SNL, and Have a Discussion about Wemby, and DVT

Yes, Wemby has been sidelines with a DVT and San Antonio is in mourning, but it will get better folks. We talk some Spurs fallout and then we wax nostalgic about SNL.
Ep 125 - Brady Sucks, Spurs are Underperforming, and Eagles are ... GOOD!

Well, the Big Game is over, and it was a good game if you were an Eagles fan or had the Eagles minus -9 with your LEGAL sports betting site. In our opinion Brady underperformed and we are watching the obituary for the Graphic Designer from Fox Sports. Yeah, the Eagles are good. Debate ensues about where we are with the Spurs on their timetable. Bob also pokes fun at one of the richest owners in the NFL, as well.
Ep 124 - Spurs Sign Fox, Lakers get Doncic, and Oh Yeah, there's a Superbowl this week too!!!

Well it was an exciting weekend for NBA fans, as they tried to get some last news in before Superbowl dominates. So we talk about what looks to be a master class in GM-ing, the acquisition of Fox by the Spurs and then what looks to be the best kept secret, Doncic to the Lakers, and Davis to the Mavericks. Wow, fun stuff. And we don't hate the Chiefs, but we might be betting against them.
Ep 123 - Dead or Alive, McCarthy Says Happy Trails and We Debate Spurs Outlook and Performance

We play Dead or Alive and start a little early as we debate who should replace our replica of Santa in Arlington, Mike McCarthy, who is not returning to the Cowboys and now Jerry gets to remake an entire coaching staff. We go over what happened in the CFP Semis and the NFL Wild Card and then Walter and Jeff go deep on how the Spurs have been doing.
Ep 122 - Cousin Mathew Is Back, Zion to San Antonio, and Skattebo Makes Bank

Ep 122 - Cousin Mathew Is Back, Zion to San Antonio, and Skattebo Makes Bank
Jeff brings back Cousin Matthew, we talk the Texas win over Arizona State and Mr Skattebo, enjoy your NFL career. We go round the rest of the CFP and then talk some Spurs trade speculation.

We go long, but we gave you something at the ve...
Ep 121 - Happy Holidays, Merry Xmas, Spurs, CFP, RIP Rickey and Pizza Recommendations

It’s the beginning of the Holiday Season and we decided to not take a day off, or go short. We start with some Spurs talk and then move into football. Rickey Henderson just passed so we pay homage to the best base stealer of all time, as well as the best Ego of all time, it seems. We play Alive or Dead, and then we wish you a happy holidays.

Ep 117 - Project Marvel Is a Good Thing, and Jeff Gets His Turkey Early

Jeff had an unscheduled commitment, so it's just Walter and Bob this week.

We started with the Cowboys and quite frankly it has become sad. So we lean into the sadness. We talk some CFP playoffs as the first rankings are getting ready to be dropped.
