John and Gordy are having a rough morning, noting that the roads are an absolute mess, covered in solid ice, with no traction, and they are upset that no salt or sand trucks seem to be out, suggesting "blame the weather people". Producer Dom recounts a hilarious but embarrassing personal story of slipping and falling on the ice right in front of the Target store. They express disbelief and frustration at the Green Bay Packers for using a kicker who keeps missing, despite having a reliable backup.

The conversation then pivots to national politics, expressing anger and dismay over the Senate passing a bill, feeling the Democrats "caved in completely" without getting anything in return. They mock the politicians, saying they're counting on a promise to take up the Affordable Care Act in January, sarcastically adding, "We'll really have a real debate this time".

Finally, they express outrage that the bill reportedly contained a provision allowing senators to sue the government for confiscating their phone records and worry about a possible nationwide anti-abortion bill being slipped in.
