00:00Tony we hear you've got a little challenge for us today. What do you got?

00:08Well, here's what we're gonna do folks and you guys at home can play along as well

00:12So obviously part of the job is to be out in the weather across the country

00:16So what we're gonna do today folks is we're gonna look back at some of my timeless

00:20Live hits over the last year or so and we're gonna quiz you as to what state

00:25That those live hits happen and we're gonna get started right away roll that beautiful

00:3030 miles per hour yesterday, so it really was visibility issues early

00:35But today plenty of sunshine. The visibility is absolutely great. It is a very chilly day here at the beach

00:43Think I'm gonna go ahead and just enjoy a little bit of the snow

00:48Okay, that was not as much snow as I hope that looked like that hurt just a little bit there Tony

00:56All right, what state did that timeless hit take place I do you think I remember this yeah, I remember

01:03At least we were talking about it. It's not the beach. I think it's Eastern, Colorado if I'm not mistaken

01:09Am I right?

01:11I'm gonna go on the same train of thought roll it

01:14Okay, that threw me for a loop, yes, that was the great

01:18Yeah, the great state of Kansas that took place at the Oasis truck stop in the great town of Colby in northwest

01:24Kansas one of my favorite stops of all time you guys ready for number two

01:28Let's go. Let's go

01:32You guys missed the rolling here as we went into totality you're seeing the live shot right now

01:36Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right. That's right. That's right

01:40Rolling here as we went into totality you're seeing the live shot right now

01:44There are no words. There are no words. I did this in

01:482017 and I practiced this and and folks if you're at home watching this you're not in the path of totality

01:53Nothing I can say this video you are seeing will even a fraction

01:59Describe this it's like sunset all around 360 degrees of sunset right now

02:05All right, you know the event but where was I for it and Bree did you want to guess first or do you want to get together?

02:10I know where he was, but I cannot remember the exact I know it was like, Nebraska or it was I will just say it

02:18Melissa, I think it was, Illinois, Illinois. Am I right in, Illinois?

02:24Okay, go for it

02:27That's one point for us Tony. Mm-hmm

02:29All right one point for you, all right, we're gonna go back a couple of these hits are timeless

02:32Just like the holidays of Christmas here. This one was last year, but was one of my favorites all-time events roll it

02:40We're gonna show you here I'm gonna kind of get out in front here and kind of show you what we're looking at

02:44That is one of the tornadoes. There's actually a second circulation right off in the back corner here

02:50So we've actually got two areas of circulation one in the front and one in the back

02:55Right off in the back corner here, so we've actually got two areas of circulation

02:59One is going to be this guy right here. Looks like it's starting to rope out a little bit here

03:03We're starting to see that funnel dissipate. You can kind of see just the leftover dust whirl of that

03:08So we're starting to lose that but really seeing the rope out kind of the thin funnel coming back down right now

03:15Oh that one's a little bit so that was the first time i've ever been live in front of a tornado

03:20Yes, I remember you

03:22Doing this hit and i'm tempted to say it happened

03:26across

03:28The plains more north. It wasn't nebraska or iowa. Am I wrong? I think it was nebraska if I had to guess

03:37All right, well i'm sorry to disappoint you

03:40I was wondering I was I was

03:43I suspected because you can see the tornado so clearly

03:47Yeah, that was my home state two hours from home and I would be remiss if I didn't mention last year

03:52Just an incredible tornado year for colorado nearly a record center

03:55If we're not going to show off a little bit of the akron tornadoes there as well

03:58Just a crazy year last year some of the cool places i've been and some of the cool sites that I have certainly seen

04:05Tony can I just ask you really quickly about your christmas sweater? Is that santa riding through the cosmos? I can't tell
