When comedian Dan Soder and sports media personality Katie Nolan got stuck in Big Springs during a snowstorm, they decided to record a podcast episode covering everything from the Pony Express to whether Scooter’s Coffee is overhyped. While the episode was released earlier this week, Soder and Nolan recorded it on Dec. 26, 2023, when a winter storm closed I-80 and U.S. 30 from the Wyoming border to Lexington. The “Trapped in Nebraska” episode was a departure from the “Soder” podcast’s typical content, which consists of conversations with comedians and dialogue on pop culture topics. Soder, who lives in New York but grew up in Aurora, Colorado, also plays Mafee in the Showtime series “Billions.” In this screenshot of a video created by Dan Soder, Soder and Katie Nolan record a podcast episode while stranded in Big Springs, Nebraska during a snowstorm on Dec. 26, 2023. Nolan, known for roles at Fox Sports and Apple TV+’s “Friday Night Baseball,” announced her engagement to Soder in 2022. She has made a few appearances on the podcast in the past. People are also reading... On the episode, which includes some adult language, Soder and Nolan explain that they had driven from New York City to Denver for Christmas and were on their way back east when the storm hit. That left them stranded in Big Springs, a town of around 400 located about 8 miles from the Colorado border. Because the town’s Motel 6 was already full, they were stuck in their car in the parking lot along with their dog Myrtle. An animated intro to the episode shows Soder and Nolan recording the podcast in a snow-covered car while Myrtle watches from the backseat. The intro also pans to show other people hunkered down in their own cars around them and at least one person questioning why the couple was talking into microphones in their car. Soder said it was 27 degrees when they were recording at 4:45 p.m. and he worried it would only get colder. “This sucks, but we’re fine,” Soder reasoned. Nolan describes deep diving on the Nebraska Department of Transportation’s website trying to figure out if there was a way to get around the closure, but concluding they were pretty much stuck. The couple contemplate sleeping in the car during the episode, but it ends without listeners learning their fate. However, since the podcast was recorded nearly a year ago, it’s safe to say they eventually made it out. A part two to the episode is expected to be released in mid-December. As far as describing their thoughts on the Cornhusker state, Nolan noted it was “pretty flat” and didn’t smell great, which she assumed might have to do with the cattle population. “I think cows outnumber humans in Nebraska, so that means probably a lot of emissions,” she said. Nolan also had a not-so-rave review of their stop at a Scooter’s in Kearney. She said she was expecting it to be really good because of the drive-thru line, but was disappointed when her waffle breakfast sandwich fell apart. “Scooter’s Coffee, we’re not really that into you,” Nolan said, though she softened the blow by adding they may have caught the Omaha-based coffee chain on an off day. “You’ve been telling yourself it’s good and it’s not,” Soder added to Nolan’s Scooter’s review, clarifying that “this might seem like an all-out declaration of war on Nebraska. It’s not.” As far as her gripes about Nebraska, Nolan said it was only fair, as the state wasn’t exactly playing nice either. “I know this feels like we’re Nebraska-phobes,” Soder added. “But a lot of the weird (stuff) did happen in Nebraska.” Top Journal Star photos for December 2024 Miami's Flormarie Heredia Colon (left) and Ashley Carr celebrate a point against South Dakota State during an NCAA first-round match, Friday, Dec. 6, 2024, at the Devaney Sports Center.

It was easy for to begin his tenure as interim head coach preaching accountability. It would have been easy, too, for Brown to simply voice the pillar’s importance and then demonstrate it at a later date. This was just his first press conference as interim head coach, less than a month after he had been elevated to offensive coordinator in the wake of . But Brown said he wanted his team to embody three “abilities: coachability, accountability and dependability. “That’s all of us, myself included,” he said Monday afternoon. “I’m not above coaching. I’m not above accountability. We get that done together.” Bears interim head coach Thomas Brown will still call plays. Chris Beatty elevated from WRs coach to OC. TB's message to team today: "The initial goal is to unify this football team. ... Coachability, accountability, dependability. That’s all of us. Myself included." — Jori Epstein (@JoriEpstein) Then, he showed it. Unprompted, before he opened the floor to questions, Brown brought up the team’s recent end-of-game losses. The in late October. They’ve lost their past three games by a combined seven points thanks to a blocked kick, overtime sputtering and . Matt Eberflus was an easy scapegoat . Brown didn’t stop the accountability there. “I know there’s a lot of scrutiny, talk, dialogue about what’s happened at the end of some of these games,” Brown said Monday. “I am not exempt from responsibility in those actions. “The word ‘team’ — I believe in doing things together. We get rewarded together, we also get criticized together. So we will have an internal process we’ll go through on a weekly basis to prepare ourselves for those opportunities. And on game day, we’ll execute. “Don’t panic, do a great job communicating, be poised in the moment, make a decision and roll with it.” On Thanksgiving, the Bears rallied from a 16-0 halftime deficit to outscore their division-rival Detroit Lions 20-7 in the second half. They then got the ball back with 3:31 to play, at their own 1-yard line. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams found receiver DJ Moore for 25 yards on a third-and-7, and 21 on a fourth-and-4. Williams rebounded from one sack to scramble 14 yards and another to scramble 13. In all, the Bears moved 52 yards. But after a sack with 31 seconds to play, the Bears did not call a timeout. Williams attempted to hurry up his team as 4 yards stood between them and their expected target field-goal range. Instead, the clock expired on a missed pass to Rome Odunze. The Bears lost 23-20. A wild end to this one. — NFL (@NFL) No field goal was even attempted. Why? Brown addressed the gaffe publicly and to his players. "Like I told the offense this morning: There’s a lot of dialogue about those last couple plays, the last seconds,” Brown said. “I focus more on the events leading up to it — the opportunities well before that moment to end the game, to finish the game. Bears president Kevin Warren: "The only way you make a good player great or a great player legendary is to create that environment of accountability & set standards that are extreme & demanding. We will find that person." GM Ryan Poles will lead search for permanent head coach. — Jori Epstein (@JoriEpstein) “So yes, it’s important for us to execute in those moments. But don’t forget we had several opportunities throughout the game. We dug ourselves into a hole in the first half, battled back into that game... [and] had several opportunities before that to go execute.” Brown modeled for his players what it means to confront mistakes. He could have leaned on his earlier line that "nobody cares about what happened before,” but a coach who preached “it’s not about the event — it’s about the response” instead responded both by declining to throw Eberflus under the bus and by acknowledging his own role. “I won’t get into the weeds of what was communicated, not communicated, because that’s irrelevant, that’s over with now,” Brown said. “But definitely had the opportunity to learn from it. “And I don't remove myself from accountability in those scenarios.”
