About this episode
In this episode of FOJ, Jeff and Jason catch up after a brutal winter storm that dumped over a foot of snow on North Carolina and sent temperatures plummeting in Chicago. Jason shares a "neighbor from hell" story involving a $150 ticket, a surprise visit from the Joliet police, and a weekend spent fixing his fence in 15-degree weather. The guys dive deep into the "joke" that the NFL Pro Bowl has become, test their knowledge with a massive Super Bowl trivia session, and run through the record-breakers (and losers) of the Grammy Awards. Finally, they get real about the current state of the country, discussing political divisions, immigration enforcement in Minnesota, and the "distraction tactics" of modern politics.
