The hour opens with a traffic accident on Hollywood Way at Tulare, followed by a visit from Kiana Raymondo, now with ABC30 TV in Fresno. We also talk about COSM, the immersive venue quickly becoming the place to watch Rams games, and dive into the oddly fascinating Costco rotisserie chicken lawsuit, plus the viral “9:45 trick” shoppers swear by. 

Retail takes center stage as we break down reports that nearly 80% of holiday decorations are returned, including at Hobby Lobby, and why retailers are cracking down on returns as the practice costs companies billions of dollars each year. 

The Costco chicken controversy continues with details about a lawsuit alleging hidden preservatives, while attention shifts back to football as the Rams gear up for the NFC Championship game against the Seattle Seahawks. 

The hour wraps with a major weather alert as a historic winter storm puts 235 million people in the path of dangerous snow and ice, with the first impacts expected tonight.
