Yeah, I don't know if it's.
If you see it, there is winter,if you don't see it, there's
not.
I think if you see it, there'ssix more weeks of winter.
I don't think he sees anything.
No, I think he sees peopleannoying and picking them up out
of his little groundhog houseand holding them up with a top
(11:10):
hat on.
I think he sees, yeah, four orfive weirdos wearing top hats,
holding them in a circle andhe's like what are we doing?

Speaker 2 (11:49):

yeah oh, no well and what'shilarious is monday.
It was 73, so I'm like six moreweeks of winter.
Maybe, he's wrong sometimes.
Yeah, I think he did see ashadow and I think that does
mean.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Of course it feels like that was three weeks ago,
but Okay, if Phil sees hisshadow and returns to his hole,
keep him in a hole, let's notmess it up.
He has predicted six more weeksof winter-like weather.
Speaker 2 (12:21):

Well, it was a balmy 72 onMonday.
I was on a t-shirt, so it beganin 1887.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
What Don't you know, the groundhogs that are not in

Not see our shadow.
I mean, come on, you know who?
(12:52):
His great, great, great, great,great, great, great groundhog

This is in quotes inner circle.
I'm going to say that's spot on.
Speaker 2 (13:22):

Recognizable by their top hats and tuxedos.
How else are people dressing upthere?
Speaker 2 (13:31):

held to the top of the stump byhis handlers and purportedly
explains to the president of theinner.
Speaker 2 (14:01):

have nothing I don't know.
And how much do they practicefor that?
Speaker 1 (14:11):

that word explains to thepresident of the inner circle in
a language note as GroundhogEase.
Speaker 2 (14:22):

shadow.
What is it like this, charlieBrown, what'd?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
he say the president of the inner circle.
Oh, he's the only one that canunderstand Groundhog.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Ease.
Of course he takes a specialclass.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Through his possession of an ancient acaia
wood cane.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Acaia or acacia.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Acacia.
Okay, that's a nice woodOccasionally.
This is ridiculous.
And then he interprets hismessage What'd I say, acaia?
And directs the vice presidentto read the proper scroll to the
crowd gathered and the masses.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
sorry, this is yeah, you know what we should do one
year is go up there for it.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
They're called faith-filled followers, all with
phs, that's the groundhogs fans.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
It's like.
I love how it says.

at the poxitone I don't know howto say that word either.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, you're saying it right.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Memorial Library In a climate-controlled environment.
He's supposed to wait a minute,he's supposed to predict
weather and he lives in aclimate-controlled HVAC
controlled.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
yeah, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
He hadn't even seen the sun.
You know his friends are like.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
So here's the deal.
I'm his cousin, but you know hedon't even have to live in the
cold, Of course.
He said he saw a shadow.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
This is the craziest.
You know what I'm just reading,but this is bonkers.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
It is kind of bonkers .
Speaker 1 (16:14):
It says in March, the inner circle that's the type of
people announced that Phil hadsired two babies.
This is like Game of Thronesnow.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
The first time in the history of the event that such
a siring had happened.
Okay, so it surprised the innercircle, surprise, surprise.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Which assumed groundhogs do not breed in
captivity.
I assume they can't predict theweather.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
As a result of the birth, the family will move
permanently to Gobbler's Knob.
The inner circle disowned thebabies from ever inheriting
their father's position.
These, who are they, thesepeople?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Now I'm angry for the Phil's family.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
I'm gonna go and I'm gonna protest.
Dcs need to'm going to go andI'm going to protest.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
DCS need to go up in there now.
I don't know.
That's crazy.
Who's running this?
That's like a mafia.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
I don't know if he saw his shadow, but this is all
shady.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
That is nuts.
Okay, I think Okay, not thatour podcast deserves a field
trip, but I'll go.
When is it?
In the name of Bill Murray, Ithink we need to do this.
I don't know.
It's cold, it's going to becold, it's.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Philadelphia.
We'll put our.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I can't talk Toboggan zone Podagonstone.
Podagons Put your, put yoursled on your head and go up
there and see if I let's see ifyeah, there's a reason they made
that movie and there's a reasonthat his character was like I
can't believe I'm reporting onthis.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, reception.
I want to call the authorities.
I don't think that none of thisis right.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
No, 2,000 people show up for that.
Oh, but prior to 1993, becauseof the movie right.
This is the popularity of thefilm Groundhog.
Day brought significantly moreattention to the event, and now
10,000 to 20,000 people.
Well, I don't know.
I bet that's gone down since 93.
What was I?
I was 20.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
According to lore, there is only one, phil, and all
other groundhogs are imposters.
They seem to have it out fornormal groundhogs.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
What they've been holding up a stuffed animal.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah, what's the difference between a groundhog
and a muskrat?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Oh, isn't a muskrat way smaller Groundhog is real
chunky, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Or what's the other thing?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Groundhog to me looks like a beaver without a tail.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
There's a gopher, isn't the tail?
Speaker 2 (18:42):
there's a gopher, and at a gopher and that's another
bill murray movie, isn't he in?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
uh, oh yeah caddyshack the gophers he's
smaller, I guess yeah, it'srooted in germanic tradition
that says is okay, so it comesfrom germany.
Okay, it says that if thehibernating animal cast a shadow
on february 2nd, christiancelebration of Candlemas, winter
and cold weather will lastanother six weeks.
(19:05):
In Germany, the traditionevolved into a myth that if the
sun came out on Candlemas Idon't know if that's right a
hedgehog would cast its shadow,predicting snow all the way into
May.
And then, when the Germanssettled in Pennsylvania, they
(19:28):
transferred the tradition ontolocal.
I can't read fauna, fauna.
I don't know what.
None of this is Replacinghedgehogs with groundhogs.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I'm going to ask my priest about this, because
February 2nd was a Sunday.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
And he just talked about technically.
That's the technically.
Well, I go to an Anglicanchurch not to get churchy Don't

six empty chairs at our table.
Speaker 2 (02:46):

Which I guess is better than six random dogs.
Speaker 2 (02:49):

I said if our dogs were hereright now it'd be a different
vibe.

table.
Speaker 2 (04:07):

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah, I don't know where they were really taking

It is the only good thing about.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Groundhog Day is Bill .

The actual.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Okay.

Let's just get into it.
I don't think he saw anything.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, I don't know if it's.
If you see it, there is winter,if you don't see it, there's
not.
I think if you see it, there'ssix more weeks of winter.
I don't think he sees anything.
No, I think he sees peopleannoying and picking them up out
of his little groundhog houseand holding them up with a top
(11:10):
hat on.
I think he sees, yeah, four orfive weirdos wearing top hats,
holding them in a circle andhe's like what are we doing?
Yeah, again.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Put me down.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah, have you seen your shadow?
Speaker 2 (11:20):

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Does he get?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
paid Tradition.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I will say he's probably got just a got a chance
of being right as oh he'sbetter than the weather people I
mean it's 50, 50 yeah but whyare we listening and people
report it like it's oh yeah likejust well, it's gospel.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Well, it's gonna be cold till easter saw a shadow
yeah oh, no well and what'shilarious is monday.
It was 73, so I'm like six moreweeks of winter.
Maybe, he's wrong sometimes.
Yeah, I think he did see ashadow and I think that does
mean.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Of course it feels like that was three weeks ago,
but Okay, if Phil sees hisshadow and returns to his hole,
keep him in a hole, let's notmess it up.
He has predicted six more weeksof winter-like weather.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Mm-hmm.
Well, it was a balmy 72 onMonday.
I was on a t-shirt, so it beganin 1887.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
What Don't you know, the groundhogs that are not in
Phil's family are like.
Here's the reason why he getsto live in that nice area of
town.
Okay, I mean, any of us couldbe pulled out of our home and
see our shadow, quote unquote.
Not see our shadow.
I mean, come on, you know who?
(12:52):
His great, great, great, great,great, great, great groundhog
grandfather was right.
That's the only reason he hasthat job, the only reason Okay.
He talks about it all the timeuh so then they took me out of
my hole and then I saw my shadow.
Um, I mean, I can't help itit's two it's two years in a row
(13:12):
.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
It's crazy right, sorry, uh it says the event is
organized by the.
This is in quotes inner circle.
I'm going to say that's spot on.
Speaker 2 (13:22):

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Recognizable by their top hats and tuxedos.
How else are people dressing upthere?
Speaker 2 (13:31):

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Just Tuesday.
Yeah, yeah, wow, I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I don't either, but that movie is fantastic.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, his burrow is located on Gobbler's Knob, is
held to the top of the stump byhis handlers and purportedly
explains to the president of theinner.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
oh, he tells him yeah they pretend he can talk I, I
have nothing I don't know.
And how much do they practicefor that?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
he explains purportedly I've never heard
that word explains to thepresident of the inner circle in
a language note as GroundhogEase.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
No, it doesn't say that yes whether he has seen his
shadow.
What is it like this, charlieBrown, what'd?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
he say the president of the inner circle.
Oh, he's the only one that canunderstand Groundhog.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Ease.
Of course he takes a specialclass.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Through his possession of an ancient acaia
wood cane.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Acaia or acacia.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Acacia.
Okay, that's a nice woodOccasionally.
This is ridiculous.
And then he interprets hismessage What'd I say, acaia?
And directs the vice presidentto read the proper scroll to the
crowd gathered and the masses.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
sorry, this is yeah, you know what we should do one
year is go up there for it.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
They're called faith-filled followers, all with
phs, that's the groundhogs fans.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
It's like.
I love how it says.
It's like believers hey, justin, did you see your shadow?
Yeah, um wow this is okay.

Yeah I'm gonna report .
I'm wearing a top hat.
Outside of groundhog day, philresides with his mate, phyllis,
at the poxitone I don't know howto say that word either.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, you're saying it right.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Memorial Library In a climate-controlled environment.
He's supposed to wait a minute,he's supposed to predict
weather and he lives in aclimate-controlled HVAC
controlled.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
yeah, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
He hadn't even seen the sun.
You know his friends are like.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
So here's the deal.
I'm his cousin, but you know hedon't even have to live in the
cold, Of course.
He said he saw a shadow.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
This is the craziest.
You know what I'm just reading,but this is bonkers.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
It is kind of bonkers .
Speaker 1 (16:14):
It says in March, the inner circle that's the type of
people announced that Phil hadsired two babies.
This is like Game of Thronesnow.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
The first time in the history of the event that such
a siring had happened.
Okay, so it surprised the innercircle, surprise, surprise.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Which assumed groundhogs do not breed in
captivity.
I assume they can't predict theweather.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
As a result of the birth, the family will move
permanently to Gobbler's Knob.
The inner circle disowned thebabies from ever inheriting
their father's position.
These, who are they, thesepeople?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Now I'm angry for the Phil's family.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
I'm gonna go and I'm gonna protest.
Dcs need to'm going to go andI'm going to protest.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
DCS need to go up in there now.
I don't know.
That's crazy.
Who's running this?
That's like a mafia.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
I don't know if he saw his shadow, but this is all
shady.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
That is nuts.
Okay, I think Okay, not thatour podcast deserves a field
trip, but I'll go.
When is it?
In the name of Bill Murray, Ithink we need to do this.
I don't know.
It's cold, it's going to becold, it's.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Philadelphia.
We'll put our.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I can't talk Toboggan zone Podagonstone.
Podagons Put your, put yoursled on your head and go up
there and see if I let's see ifyeah, there's a reason they made
that movie and there's a reasonthat his character was like I
can't believe I'm reporting onthis.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, reception.
I want to call the authorities.
I don't think that none of thisis right.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
No, 2,000 people show up for that.
Oh, but prior to 1993, becauseof the movie right.
This is the popularity of thefilm Groundhog.
Day brought significantly moreattention to the event, and now
10,000 to 20,000 people.
Well, I don't know.
I bet that's gone down since 93.
What was I?
I was 20.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
According to lore, there is only one, phil, and all
other groundhogs are imposters.
They seem to have it out fornormal groundhogs.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
What they've been holding up a stuffed animal.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah, what's the difference between a groundhog
and a muskrat?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Oh, isn't a muskrat way smaller Groundhog is real
chunky, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Or what's the other thing?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Groundhog to me looks like a beaver without a tail.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
There's a gopher, isn't the tail?
Speaker 2 (18:42):
there's a gopher, and at a gopher and that's another
bill murray movie, isn't he in?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
uh, oh yeah caddyshack the gophers he's
smaller, I guess yeah, it'srooted in germanic tradition
that says is okay, so it comesfrom germany.
Okay, it says that if thehibernating animal cast a shadow
on february 2nd, christiancelebration of Candlemas, winter
and cold weather will lastanother six weeks.
(19:05):
In Germany, the traditionevolved into a myth that if the
sun came out on Candlemas Idon't know if that's right a
hedgehog would cast its shadow,predicting snow all the way into
May.
And then, when the Germanssettled in Pennsylvania, they
(19:28):
transferred the tradition ontolocal.
I can't read fauna, fauna.
I don't know what.
None of this is Replacinghedgehogs with groundhogs.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I'm going to ask my priest about this, because
February 2nd was a Sunday.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
And he just talked about technically.
That's the technically.
Well, I go to an Anglicanchurch not to get churchy Don't
church it up, dare I say.
But what I'm saying is I'mgoing to ask him about the
candle.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Yeah, I'm going to ask him about the candle, yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
