It’s a Tuesday morning and the North Dakota weather is throwing a curveball with freezing rain and 40 mph wind gusts. Kevin Flynn and Alex Taylor break down the messy commute before diving into the political theater of the week. From California Governor Gavin Newsom’s "cringe-worthy" attempt to pander to red-state voters at the Commodity Classic to the escalating fallout of the Epstein document leaks, the team doesn't hold back. We also cover the strange story of an Olympic official’s sudden resignation, the "gold standard" of women's hockey, and why the latest weather models suggest a major warmup is just around the corner.
