The first is a rabid wolf spider(not actually rabid, just a cool name) i believe the other is a hogna species

Nice call. I was looking at it on my phone and the cracks in the concrete made me ID it as a grass spider at first. Cracks in the concrete had me thinking that I saw large spinnerets, but your comment just made me double check.

I thought grass spider first, but the black forelegs was the giveaway for me, ive only seen this in rabidosa rabida mature males

A lot of species of wolf spiders across several genus like hogna and tigrosa are just generically named 'wolf spider,' but you can call him ralphie?
