Wake up, your little sleepyhead. It's time to get your stupid ass out of bed. To you about the most important thing in the most important thing in I glad to played the sad version this morning. He couldn't be the upbeing on on a cowboy lost day and we're in winter apocalypse mcgeddon Godzilla. That's the lead story in town. Pretty much dangerous driving conditions, A little
bit our Our writing wasn't bad, I would say a little slick. I would say, though, if you are known to be terrible behind the wheel, take it slow out there. And what we suggest on the downbeat is where your comedy first responders, your comedy icebreakers every morning, find some open space and really cut it loose a couple of times, and really see if you know how your car can handle things. Does anyone really think they're a terrible driver. It's sort of like, you know, you say, oh,
the dumb people around here, but everyone thinks they're smart. Now my driving record, they terrible dumb people all over. Yeah, And it's like, just by the math, some of'all are dumb. I'm probably dumb, iy, yeah, But the same with driving. It was like I'm a good driver, there's a lot of moron drivers out here. It's like, well, if you're saying that, there's a good chance you're you're the baddies. I like the drivers that say I drive better when I've had a
couple of beers. Yeah, okay, it's a couple. Oh that's the thing too, to give the golf eyes will do that a lot. Yeah, well, swing grease, but better what I'm drinking. No, you're in the rough again. You might be a little bit free to that. Actually, thank you as well. There's a sweet spot. Yeah, a few beers, the two beer buzz and then move it on down the road. Well, if you're a bad driver and you know it, stay off
the roads today. Yes, Well, most of the text reports coming in, and we do encourage you to Texas two one one just give us updates. But most people say, yeah, there's a little dusting, but not too bad out there. Man, nothing we can't handle. But if you don't need to be on the roads here on the holiday Monday, you stay nestled up at home and you listen to us, we'll keep you warm.
Let's talk about wild Card weekend and the other games, because it was kind of wild when we learned on Saturday that the Bills and Steelers, which is supposed to be at noon yesterday, got postponed to Monday. So they basically on Saturday afternoon and said, we're gonna go ahead and move tomorrow's game back and we'll get this thing going forty eight hours from now. So today at three thirty, you have Bills and Steelers, if you like playoff football,
and we will have the MAVs game here on the freak. That ice game Saturday night between Chiefs and Dolphins did make me go how much worse could it have been in Buffalo? And apparently much worse It was the wind, because the thing in the Chiefs Dolphins game, it was just cold. Yeah, that's it. There was no real snow and the wind wasn't too bad either. It was just cold and it still was kind of a It was a very crappy game for some But yes, all the reports you kept seeing from
high Mark Stadium or anywhere in Buffalo, it was madness. And yes, from between invisibility tons of wind. I mean I saw some of those alleged fifty mile an hour Gus, Like, you almost couldn't play football. You can't think you couldn't see it on TV too. Yeah, you couldn't see it was unsafe. I guess they say for the crowds. And then your
point that you heard right. I saw one tweet and it said that part of the reason that they canceled the game or postponed it was, you know, when they have these one hundred thousand people at a stadium, that takes a lot of first responders, medical vehicles, police, all that stuff to kind of help navigate that whole scene. And they said that because of the inclement weather, they wanted to have those vehicles available for you know, other
purposes. Citizens. Yeah, this is from football people. I guess that county in Buffalo Erie County that be the county they're executive of that county. Whatever that means. Said. As most know, there are hundreds of deputies from not only the Sheriff's office but others that assist on game day. They need to be assisting in the middle of a snowstorm, helping those in need,
not directing traffic at a football stadium. I want to see that many vehicles on the road tomorrow morning trying to get to a football stadium, and that's all fair and bring some guy back to life who's standing there with your shirt off. That's so he can be on the TV. Yes, guys, the guys who are jumping off in their tailgates and jumping onto tables just to see if they can break them. Right, we don't need to burn ambulance time on that. Yeah, let's get the people whose power went out.
I mean makes sense. So Buffalo right now, it says twenty degrees snow this morning. That's warmer than here, by the way. Yeah, that's insane, right, Buffalo right now is warmer than us. Yeah, well, ten day weather says twenty degrees right now, it says snow this morning, gives way to lingering snow showers this afternoon. High near twenty winds
ten to twenty miles an hour, chance to snow ninety percent. So we're still gonna have a doozy of a little snow game today in Buffalo, and the Steelers are in town and some wind, but it seems nothing compared to almost just morbidly, when you saw the worst like that one video you saw of right now at High March Stadium where you can't see anything and sideways win.
I mean, I don't know how las Vegas handles that the over under started like forty three last week, and then it plummeted like thirty five, and then the second they postponed it, they moved to like thirty seven and a half. I'm not even sure where it is right now, but if they played in that crap, the score would have been zero zero because you
can't throw. Yeah, you cannot throw. Although there have been some snow games where they just hand the ball and the running back knows where his feed are going, so it gives advantage to the running back and defenders can't plant. I think the Eagles had one of those crazy snow games. They ran for two hundred plus yards, so maybe you can run the ball, but
that sideways wind eliminates any passes whatsoever. They kept replaying that one cell phone camera video that was about twelve seconds long from the stadium, like you were describing, We're just sideways wind, snow blowing, zero visibility. You can't see, you know, ten yards in front of your face. When I first heard the news, I did kind of go, why why are we
postponing it? Let's play you're outside, it's buffalo. But then I, well, I lowly realize I think they used the first responder thing as an excuse to cover No. I mean, it makes some sense, but that's sort of has that a lot of the network said, look, we're not going to be able to show you a good football game. Okay, that's the real reason, because in any of these cases, people don't care about people's big conglomerate corporations. They don't care about people's lives. They care about
making money. And if that game was going to somehow cost them by people not having their eyes on it because they couldn't see the game, that makes more sense to me than than making yourselves taking the higher road by saying we just want to make sure that our citizens are protected and we want to row the first responder vehicles to be available for the real issues that are going to
be out there. But you know, if it was even if you're watching on TV and you can see like twenty percent, we all still would have watched. Hell yeah, we would have because we're idiots. We're not looking away. We'll tune into some bad football man. We do not care. I don't. I'm being open with you. It is on like whatever, show me the game, feed me. I'm in the Dolphins Chiefs game was twenty six to seven. Couldn't turn it off. I could have fired up
at Oppenheimer. You know, you kind of got started on part one of that, but no, stayed into the whole game for no reason, just because it was on. We like train wrecks. Speaking of corporations making money. Peacock biggest livestream of it in US history. Uh, and then drove an internet usage to a single day US record twenty eight million viewers. Peaked at twenty five million viewers around eight to fifteen Central time. Do they have
the numbers for new subscribers that signed up five minutes before kickoff? I don't know yet, but I think that'll come out soon. You're a part of that, part of that boat. You did get it. I did, and he'll get it for a month, right yep, and it'll be for five years. You die, Yeah, you will die paying for people peacock. I'm talking to my old man. On Saturdays, I went to my my, uh my niece's birthday party. So I went and touch to Thanks Fifties. Kevin. He goes, that's talking to my old man. He
goes, he has a peacock tonight. I was like, yeah, he goes, He goes, what does Peacock have? And I was like, why are you asking? It's like, yeah, I think about getting it tonight. So watch this game. I kind of watch this game to night and I was like, just do the free trial or you know, Parks and rec No, I'm no joke for those of you who did exactly that and you have it for a month, burn burn through poker face. Yeah, it's really good. It isn't Natasha Leone. They got a bunch of
good guest stars. It's kind of like a modern Perry Mason. Like every episode sort of a little mystery, but with threads that run throughout the whole thing. I really liked it. Okay, so yeah I like her. Yeah, yeah, it's it's a fun real easy watch. Mike make poker face here the second thing you get for your six dollars. Could you stick around and watch a little bit of ted after the game? Okay? The
Talking Bear? I fired it up. You did. It's funny. It's funny until about ten minutes through it and you're like, I'm not gonna do this. It's a Teddy Bear dropping an uncountable amount of F bombs and that's pretty much it and it's kind of funny. But then yeah, I couldn't keep going. I was like, no, I'm not gonna do this. You gave it ten I gave it ten minutes, and then I jumped out. The dinner table scene has gone on too long. And I didn't know
any of the other people in the show. So it's kind of you know the dad and you've seen him around. Yeah, the dad. But it's still like, Okay, I'm good, I'm not gonna do this. But Mike, what dolphin? Mike, what happened? I said, Hey, what happened? They got killed? Dolphins got killed by the chiefs in pretty much every damn way. Oh, I don't like. I don't think Too could feel his hand, and they never really said that. I kind of think in real life. I wonder sometimes all the head injuries he's had,
well, if he's able to fill his hand. I don't think he could feel his left hand, because every throw he even attempted was a lollipop. And you know, he's not like the most strong arm QB in the NFL, but he's always fine and he can wing it and hit Tyreek on these in routes that they run constantly. Even late in the game when it was over, he's trying to throw a couple of little outs and he he just couldn't put anything on the football. There were some really poor coaching decisions when
the game was not completely out of hand. I mean it really wasn't. It was kind of close. That's why I think that's why I hung in till the ends, because it you know, it ended bad. Its like they're kind of just like if they can get a two good drives going. It was what sixteen to seven at halftime and then twenty to seven at the end of the third like it was never I don't know, it was never. They never had a chance, but they were never really out of it.
They just needed to run the damn football, and they kept trying to stick to what maybe their regular offense is. And I hated it. I know you watched every game of this team. I couldn't believe when they made the announcement that when twoas scrambled for a nine yard rush that it either matched or exceeded his season longest. Boy, is that right? Yes, yeah,
he's kind of slow and clunky. He kind of looks I mean, although Dak has maybe ran for fifteen or something in his first carry of the game yesterday, like he maybe he's a little bit more of a there. Yeah, two is not fast. You just think when you think of Alabama quarterbacks, you know, you think guys that are more mobile than that he is not. There was some bad I love Mike McCarthy or Mike McDaniel, but there was some sticking to what your plan was all year versus we assumed,
Look, they're a good running team. I was like, they know what's happening in this game. They are gonna run most of it and then run a chan and then run Jeff Wilson and keep them coming. And they just kept trying to throw the football with a Hawaiian dude with a frozen left hand. I've never tried to tackle a two hundred and thirty pound human being that could run a four to four. You should do the negative, you know, belows in sub zero temperatures. I don't think Miami was prepared for
that either, because their tackling was unbelievably bad. Yeah, the whole game. That may have been one of the most frustrating elements of watching that entire game was their inability to bring guys down and they were too beating up with injuries and stuff. There was a poetic moment earlier in the week and I forgot to say it on the year last week when Mike McDaniel was doing a press conference and they were asking him about, you know, the cold weather,
right and how are they going to handle it? And behind him on the backdrop at the press conference, whatever company's sponsoring it, there was a pineapple like this that's like, yeah, this team is not going to handle the cold. Which more iphic is on winning as many regular season games as you can, getting the buye being at home. It's all simple, easy stuff, we know, but that does make the difference in some of these seasons. Because I think the Dolphins beat the Chiefs at that game is in
Miami. I made so too, and I think all things consider, the Dolphins are as good as the Chiefs this year, but the injuries decimated the Dolphins. And I don't know. We always say it's not like they're all from Miami. I mean, they've all played in the snow, most of them, but they looked like a team that it was like a kid seeing snow for the first time, and we're scared and we don't know what to do. Whatever, It's fine. They were so beat up they weren't going
to really make a run anyway. The Chiefs probably better TV moving forward. If Bills win. We're set up for Bills and Chiefs in Buffalo on Sunday for the late one. If it goes down that way game, the Steelers could go beat the Bills today. Technically, I think with Nojre Harris kind of a bigger dude and kind of a tougher team a little bit, I think then then maybe, you know, I don't say then the Dolphins, because the Dolphins are way better than the Steelers, but that could be interesting.
Now at seven forty today, we're gonna have Kevin Smith, the meteorologist over at NBC five give us the latest on the weather last night. Another NBC meteorologist. In fact, they're chief I think Rick Mitchell, he's the NBC five weatherman, and they're doing rams and they're doing the Lions. And the Lions have a twenty four to twenty three lead, which was only the only competitive game out of the four, the only game of the weekend, and the Lions are about to really kneel it out. But it's a big
deal because they're sitting the scene. They haven't when a playoff game in thirty years, and it's kind of emotional thing. And it was a really good, hard fought, well played game. So it's kind of this cool moment. And here's what happened in DFW if you were watching this game last night, Well, exactly is Tea the ball here? Hello, there are folks. We have dangerous cold out there and a little bit of light snow as well. In fact, this is a live look from Denton where there's a
little bit of a fluffy coating. This is the text dot camera in Denton County showing that you have snow coming down. Now the snow is very dry and powdery. Okay, so it's like this went on now, the fluffy coating that's dry and powdery. Yeah. I'm sitting there in bed and that's going on, and I go, man, he's talking really casual for this to be a breaking, a breaking like weather alert. Well, he did go to Twitter within the hour because he was getting destroyed, and his tweets
got seventy thousand views? Was it ten thirty seven last night? And that happened right at ten o'clock when they cut in from the game with two minutes left. He said, a cut that was supposed to only be on our digital channel ended up covering the end of Sunday Football. I want to apologize for this mess up. Was not our intention to ruin the end of the game for you. Many of you are pissed, and I don't blame you.
I'm angry too. Rick Mitchell a serious man, a hard man for hard times, and he is, Uh, It's so funny because I was like, hey man, they cut it as a fluffy coating out there, a little light snow. I was like, this is not dangerous. Yeah, yeah, And you're showing the Denton Courthouse, like some close caption TV footage of the Denton Courthouse, and somehow that's supposed to like that. I was waiting for, like some big, big breaking weather story, light fluffy
coat. And then they went to the national temperatures and he told us it's it's cold up north all through here. I'm like, this is the lightest weather report ever. Stayed on it forever, and then they just frantically jumped off. So it went from the very first time Jared Goff looked like he was about to take a knee and I didn't know how the time worked out
if they could just kneel it out. Apparently they could. They could have, yeah, because I actually had money on a Jamir Gibbs rushing thing and I'm like, all right, if he gets one more carry, and I thought maybe they'd have to run the ball one time. Whatever they didn't didn't hit. And then they come back and Jared Goff is mid to handshake with Stafford and company. And if you're a Lions fan and I know a couple in this area, you wait forty years. This is the moment, the
emotional moment at the end. They had their cutaways ready, all the crying Lions fans like this is cool where there's a little bit of a fluffy coating, okay, So that I was mad and I don't I was like, what the hell are they doing? So I watched for about twenty seconds realize that this is going to be a pretty in depth report on this deadly weather situation that was going on at the end of the game. So in my infinite wisdom, like you know what, I am a new Peacock subscriber,
they won't have this. But by the time I shut down YouTube TV initialized peacock, get up there. They're hugging. Yeah, it's the huggings happening. Damn, yeah, that's the whole thing. Well, look, this would have never happened on Kevin Smith's watch, and he will join to sit seven forty might have mask one football question? Please? How long was the
field goal? Would that field goal attempt had been had McVeigh opted for that rather than punting the ball, because I'm thinking with one time out, maybe just kick the sun. Here's why it would have been about fifty seven yards okay, here's why their kicker is going through problems. Okay, and he doesn't kick the ball very well. And he had just had like a thirty five yarder that he slid in mid level and slid in through the uprights. Now I'm with you. You kind of got to do it in a dome
too. Fifty seven that's what I was thinking it. Look, I thought about it, or go for it? It was fourth and fourteen is not a high percentage. But Ponting did seem weak there. I knew that the kid had some issues. But a great man once said, even a squirrel find a nut, he come out the tree now and again they must have known this guy didn't have the dong size to throw it in there. Well, they were at the forty four, so that would have been okay, sixty one then sixty one. Yeah, by the way, I mean,
yeah, there's no chance. You know, Brandon Aubrey kicks that all day long. Probably, yeah, but Mayer's got length, right, he just can't make anything. Well, I think they were weren't they hadn't they moved to the Harvish guy or whatever? Oh? Really? Yeah, I think they were done with him. Yeah. I think they had moved to Harvish because he just had a bad one from like Shorter. I don't know how long it was, So yeah, there's that. And we did even mentioned
the Texans just destroyed the Browns. CJ. Stroud's incredible and you know, maybe I don't know, there's nothing exciting about that game. That game was a blowout, not even close. I just think it's interesting these very young, upstart teams like the Texans and the Packers just blow on by the highway as the Cowboys spotter. I mean, the Cowboys are the team that should be peeking and seizing this time of the year, and you have teams like
and nobody laid a bigger turn. Yeah, nobody. Maybe moving on from the guy is the answer. I fought that for a long time and we'll discuss that next. Should they move on? Should they start blowing things up a little more? Cowboys Packers reaction next on ninety seven to one, The Freak
