Welcome to the first episode of the new year, where the snow is falling, the takes are hot, and the jokes are lukewarm at best. We kick things off with a frosty chat about St. Louis's recent snowfall and how it's made everything more magical... and also more of a hassle to drive in.

With Payroll's wedding around the corner, we dive into wedding talk: the numbers, the drama, and why nobody ever wants to sit at Table 12. This naturally spirals into our "Mount Rushmore" of wedding things—yes, open bars made the cut—and our favorite songs to get the dance floor popping (hint: Shout is still undefeated).

Next up, we take a hard pivot into the unexpected musical world of LiAngelo Ball, whose latest track gave us serious 2005 vibes. Is he the next Nelly? Probably not. But it's worth discussing.

Then, it's football time! We tackle (pun intended) the College Football Playoffs, recent games, and why Parker Jones is the player you didn't know you needed to care about. From there, we break down the NFL playoffs and grill Xavi on his preseason predictions—spoiler alert: he's either psychic or really good at pretending he meant to be wrong.

Finally, we wrap things up with some totally serious and not-at-all-ridiculous ideas for renaming geographical places. Why settle for “Kansas City” when we could spice it up with “Barbecueopolis”?

Thanks for ringing in the new year with us! Keep the feedback coming—we love to hear from you. Now, go shovel your driveway and press play.
