For this latest episode of The Engel Angle, Mac faces hard truths about getting older. Home projects are zero fun. Playing basketball is more hazardous to his health than a 6-pack of beer. He looks like a failed Presidential candidate.

And there should be no shame in jamming out at the Dua Lipa concert.

Mac talks to former beauty pageant contestant, and current beauty pageant consultant, Jamie Kelton. Having competed in many Miss Georgia pageants, she is well versed in the realities of this career path. She spoke candidly about the eating, the clothes, the "parents," the beauty pageant fans, and if this type of thing has a place in 2025 America.

Mac talks to Jo Madden, a resident of Calgary who has a unique story of leaving the world of accounting to become an expert in sports wagering. She sets betting lines, and picks games of all shapes and sizes. You can find her at WagerTalk, BettingPros, and her own YouTube channel.

Plus, she and Mac discuss Bill Belichick's new girlfriend.

College football is here, and while the sport is awash in problems it's popularity remains almost unchanged. It's the second most popular sport in America, behind only professional football.

Mac's guest is Nick Carparelli, the executive director of Bowl Season. If it has anything to do with bowls, he has something to do with it. Nick talked to Mac about the current state of college football, and why the bowl schedule does nothing but grow and add more dates.

Mac continues his conversation with high school friends Adam Alexander and Jake Query. Adam is currently the most prominent TV play-by-play voice for NASCAR, and Jake calls IndyCar racing and hosts his own sports radio talk show in his native Indianapolis.

Mac is joined by Adam Alexander and Jake Query for the first of two episodes. Adam is currently the most prominent TV play-by-play voice in NASCAR. Jake hosts his own radio sports talk show in Indianapolis.

The connection? Mac, Jake and Adam graduated from Indianapolis North Central high school in 1991, and were in the radio/tv/film classes at the J Everett Light Career center as juniors and seniors. They aspired to have a career in sports journalism, and more than 30 years later they are doing what they wanted to do.

Rather than take time off in the summer, Mac returns to try something else in his bid to fight the waistline. Mac believes in the power of exercise, and setting attainable goals while you go. On this episode, he tries former LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne's ab routine. Will he live or die?
(FYI: This episode works MUCH better with the video).

At Big 12 Media Days, Mac chats with Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark to discuss the state of major college football, the future of the college football playoff, and the best advice he ever received.

Award-winning and best selling author Mark Kriegel joins Mac to discuss his new book, "Baddest Man: The Making of Mike Tyson."

With the NBA Finals starting, Mac jumps into a topic that has changed over the last two decades: Cheering in the press box. He grew up a Pacers fan, and he's not afraid to say he has "Pacer Pride." This sort of thing has been taboo in sports journalism, but we need to stop kidding ourselves.
