Gavin Newsom is looking for who to blame for the California wildfires, and we think he should look in the mirror. Policies that place the importance of smelt fish over the importance of people have led to the widespread destruction and loss of life we are seeing. We break it down and point to states and governors that have done it right. In sports, we break down the games from the weekend that saw Ohio State and Notre Dame secure their places in the upcoming college football national championship, plus the NFL playoff games from the weekend. "Comedian" Jeffy calls the show again to try some material, and it doesn't go great. Rick recaps his speaking events in North Alabama and Michigan, all while struggling to breathe because he was wearing a turtleneck.
