This is the D.P.A.O. and Rothenberg podcast.

Let the wild rumpets begin.

Listen live weekday mornings from 6 to 10 a.m. on 880 ESPN in New York, the ESPN New York app, and on YouTube, by subscribing to the ESPN New York YouTube channel.

This is D.P.H. Owen Rothenberg.

So you are pro-weather? I'm pro you. I'm here for your passion.

I feel like your love for weather is just getting out of control.

Should we be concerned that weather could be affected tomorrow night down in Dallas?

Oh my God. I remember that question. What a terrible question. That was a bad question.

This is D.P.H.O. and Rothenburg.

Dave actually wore a white sweatshard in honor of the snow today.

I don't know.

Like a jersey?

I don't know.

It actually says snow on the back of it.

On ESPN, New York.

And streaming live on YouTube.

All right, D&R with you, big seven o'clock hour. Within this hour, we do have CMT coming up later. And I feel like this will be an unencumbered. Art is not going to rush through CMT to get to Mel. He's going to give us a better version. You would agree that CMT over the last, I know, six, eight weeks has not been the best version of CMT, right? No, it's not the best. It's good. It's fine. Right, but it hasn't. And understandably, because you know how RJ is with the gas. He wants to make it feel comfortable. I don't want Mel waiting. So let's do CMT. But today. Today. Today is the day.

RJ, is it fair to say that today is going to be a spicy hot CMT?

I think it'll be good.

I thought, listen, last week I thought was really good.

Apparently, you two share a different sentiment.

That's okay.
