We interrupt this program.
Previously, critics had brailed against the duo as crude, dumb, ugly, thoughtless, sexist, self-destructive, and foolish.
They are not part of the legitimate business world.
What they do is they celebrate underachievement.
And all candor, I would tell you it's outrageous, Phil.
And if I could find somewhere constitutionally to do away with it, I would.
Man, it's February.
It's February you guys.
Good morning, everybody.
Yes.
February 2nd, 2006, Year of Our Lord.
Punksitani Phil Day.
Time to eat some groundhog.
Let's eat some ground of groundhog.
I'm about groundhog's gross.
Probably gamey.
It's all fat.
Yeah.
I was going to say like, because it's a ground.
Is it a ground?
mammal.
But I guess there's a lot of ground mammals I would eat, right?
The burrower.
Burrower.
Oh, the burrowers.
A little book series for you.
Hello, everybody.
Yes, it's a Monday.
Spelled that wrong.
What burrower?
Actually, what is it?
No, mine.
What's it said?
It can be often described as a similar to a rabbit, a squirrel, or even sometimes a veal or a pot roast.
Oh, all right.
But it's actually pretty good.
But you have to, preparation is key to avoid a gamey or tough texture, like you said.
You got to.
to soak it in like a milk or something.
Isn't that what we learned?
Yep.
A loo-hoi, hoi, everybody.
Token in a milk.
Yeah, text line saying,
exactly, Jen on the text line,
if he sees his shadow,
I'm putting him in my air friar.
Yeah, I, uh,
I don't know what the groundhog does
in reality for us,
but.
Not enough, and it's,
it's just a silly tradition.
It's mainstream.
It's for jocks.
For jazz, Graham.
Casgram.
But I'll tell you what,
if this goddamn groundhog tells me
there's six more weeks,
the winner. We're going to eat it.
No matter what he says, it won't matter.
It's legitimate it's a cash craft.
But it's for those little towns. Like we were saying,
Puxa Tonee.
Gobbler's Knob, whatever that is there.
That area ain't making like Buku tourist box.
This is a big day of the year.
Nobody's traveling down to Pennsylvania much for vacationing.
Now, this is the big day in Gobblers Knob.
This is it.
Oh, man.
That's weird.
That's what we call just one part of Inks Mazz House.
Never mind.
Never mind.
Never mind.
Negative 11 degrees outside of the Utica studio right now.
I'm bad it is.
Zero in Syracuse.
Yep.
Bay.
I believe it.
Yeah, Cody's door is either frozen shot or something.
I don't know.
It's road and shot.
It won't unlock.
I had to go pick up some B-dubs for the kids' birthday yesterday.
and I could not drive faster than 50 because there was so much ice packed in my wheel wells.
I had to stop at a speedway, get a little snowbrush, and just start jabbing away at it.
It's crazy.
Because I was just...
Right?
Nothing's melting.
No.
We've not had a day over freezing in so many days.
It's unreal.
And there's a lot of it.
Good morning.
This is K. Rock.
There's so much of it.
All right.
We get it.
Good morning.
This is K.
Happy February.
Talking his and hers in here, as you guys have all told me to watch it, and I just can't get into it.
Now, Cody tried to watch it.
I tried, and the first episode was just, I don't know, it had some very bad acting.
Yeah, I don't like that guy very much.
Hold on, who is he?
From kind of all of them, the way they delivered their lines.
Yeah, John Bernthal.
And then I saw a clip of him talking about how only, like, Pussies take naps, and I'm like, what are you talking about?
like, well, so he's kind of like,
he's like, one of these tough guys who's like,
yeah, only, he thinks he's an actual cop.
He's like, if you take a nap, the world's going on by it.
I'm like, I'm taking a nap.
Shut up.
Yeah, and if I'm awake, and I'm just sitting there,
there ain't nothing going on either.
Yeah, what do you want me to do?
Make sure I'm awake for that random squirrel that hops up on my deck
every so often.
He was the Punisher, that is right.
I know, you all really liked it.
Those you keep telling us to watch it.
I'm glad that people liked it.
You're going to follow it through?
Oh, yeah.
If there's only six episodes.
Well, I hope you finish it,
and you can tell me if it's worth finishing.
I only have one or two left.
It's got better.
It did.
From the first episode.
I went three.
I went three episodes in,
and I just didn't care about these people.
Yeah, I want,
I'm either four or five.
I have one or two left.
All right.
These ones I have an easier time finishing.
People loved it, man.
People loved it.
But no,
it was just,
it was just some silly lines.
It is weird acting.
It's a lot of corning lines and I don't know.
But I'll watch.
I like that,
that Asian lady.
They were like,
they were like,
what's your name?
I don't know.
Helen a wang.
Yeah, right?
Yeah.
Like, yeah.
Yeah, whang.
But who am I to talk?
I lay there and watched O'Brother of War Arthur on TV last night with commercials.
I watched a bunch of guys in spandex throw each other over some top ropes.
So were you happy with the Royal Rumble?
Not really?
It's weird that it was a two o'clock in the afternoon, right?
That didn't really bother me just because I was at brewfest for a while, just because you guys packed the bejesus.
I'm sure we'll chat about that.
Packed that place.
Oh, my God.
But it was just kind of,
it was sloppy.
Oh.
It's kind of what I want to call it.
The men's roll rumble.
The women's one, I didn't,
I never a problem with it.
I liked it.
I liked,
the women's role rumble last few years have been awesome.
Yeah.
There's just so many stars that it's always good.
I liked it.
But it was just,
it was weird.
The men's one was weird.
If you haven't seen it,
spoiler alert,
just like, for example,
they had Brock Lesner get a lemonade
during someone's entrance.
Oh.
Like, Jay Hussaud was doing his Yit thing,
and they had Lesnar get eliminated.
It was like, was it an accident?
Did they screw up?
I don't think so.
Oh, all right.
It was very weird.
It was very weird.
I mean, they had a moment win.
Yeah.
It was just, I don't know.
There was some weird parts in it.
I was getting play-by-play from the back seat
because we were en route to the basketball game
while it was wrapping up.
Gotcha.
And the boys were watching it on their phone in the back seat.
Yeah, yeah.
So they're like, yeah, this so-and-so's left, so-and-so's left.
Like, Logan, Paul lasted a while, right?
Yeah, he was in there for a minute.
They had a guy that I liked that Obafemi came in and ran rough shot.
Gunther was in it for a while, right?
He was number 30.
It was kind of weird.
It was like, I mean, I get it.
That was a little weird.
The AJ Stiles thing.
What was the A.J. Stiles thing?
He lost.
Oh, that's it.
He's retired now.
But just from the W.W.E., like, he took his gloves off.
But then put him back on and was like,
ugh,
and did his little thing.
So he's just going to go somewhere else.
Yeah,
he was,
he was,
did that.
And the first one is he retired,
AJ Styles.
He's going to go to TNA and Russell Dahl,
Ziegler.
I guess,
I don't know.
Have fun of that.
I do like that Gunther's the legend killer now.
Like,
he's just retiring everybody.
Anybody that's on the way out,
he's like,
all right,
I'll do it.
But yeah,
he came in,
it was a very,
it was weird.
It was a very weird.
It seems lackluster to you.
I don't think you're...
It was just a fine Royal Rumble.
It was good.
The women's one was good.
But other than that, it was just...
I don't know.
What was it streaming on?
Katie says it was on ESPN plus Max Ultimate.
They don't have that.
There is too many streaming services.
Yeah, ESPN Extreme Ultimate Plus Platinum.
It wasn't on like a gold uranium status.
Peacock or anything like that?
No.
Oh my God.
If you don't even matter if you have like ESPN and then a couple other like pluses,
you've got to have like the ESPN super...
and super whatever.
It's a bunch of trash.
They are pricing themselves out of things,
especially with it being Saudi Arabia and people not too happy with that.
Michael Cole with the weirdest line ever of Sammy Zane,
who refused for good reason.
He didn't want to wrestle in that country for forever,
called him a, he said that Sammy Zane is a Muslim,
and this he considers a home game for him.
What?
What?
Thanks.
As the kids say,
Loki cringe.
Loki cringe.
He was afraid to wrestle in that country for a while
because he was afraid he was going to get murdered.
Yeah, I don't blame him.
We don't need to kiss Saudi Arabia's ass.
Weird turnaround, man.
I don't know.
I think that's just, it's not helping that it's there.
Now, WrestleMania is there next year.
Yeah, that's lame.
So, I don't know.
Yeah.
We'll see.
People still find ways to watch it, which I also like.
Yeah.
I love to find you people find,
to find...
Torrent the thing.
Yeah.
Find the way to do it.
Screw them.
They don't deserve that.
Ken says it was part of the ESPN
Hulu Disney bundle.
40 bucks a month.
Yeah.
I don't got all that, man.
Nope.
And it,
even if you just,
even if you have ESPN,
that's not that.
Yeah.
It's so weird.
Anyways.
So they did like normal matches
and then also the rumble at the end.
Yep.
They started with the women's rumble.
Then, you know,
AJ and Gunter and Sammy and Drew.
And they allowed women to wrestle
Saudi Arabia? Yeah, make sure they don't show anything.
So they're all covered up?
No, no wrists, no ankles.
That's so stupid. Very weird. It's very weird. That's so stupid.
There were some women in the audience.
All right. Some women in the audience, which the first couple years they did it there,
I feel like there was not that all.
All right, well, that sucks. Anyways, I guess it was moving on.
And they built the stadium.
Yeah, they can do that.
It was a parking lot a month ago.
Yeah.
And they built all.
When you have slave labor, you can do a lot of things
There was asked. There were a lot of jokes
that, like, because it looked
empty. Yeah. The way that it was set up
because every, like, seat
had a light.
Oh, I got, I'll have to look at this. Anything,
just Google anything that's even
close to that phrase. But I guess
there are a lot of jokes that people are like, it's
empty because the workers that are building
it are still finishing up. Yeah. They'll be out.
They'll be out a little while. Yeah.
Like, what did you guys
think? 315, 316, 4, 1.
1009 Roll Rumble weekend.
Happy Groundhog Day.
What time does that happen?
I can go live to that if we want to.
I feel like you just asked me that.
Did I?
Did I?
Did I really?
Just kidding.
I was doing Groundhog Day.
Oh, because I was having to freak out where I stroked out and asked you a question already.
I should have went with that.
What time?
Um, Dawn.
Dawn.
What time does the Groundhog thing happen?
I think 730, probably, once the sun starts to come up.
7.07 a.m. Punksetani, Phil.
He's got to at least have some sun to be able to, or, you know, not sun to be able to see it.
He will emerge from his burrow at Gobbler's Knob, around 7017, 17, 7.75.
Here they are.
They are. They're down there. They're ready to guard.
They have the oldest boy band you've ever seen.
Who is? Is that 98 degrees?
Oh, was it?
I don't know who that is.
If they got 98.
degrees for this.
Yo.
Look at that guy.
That's the guy we're watching the show.
It's a lot right now.
It's snow in there too.
Looks like and it's dark so he ain't going to see.
Wait,
that's bad right?
I'll be no,
no shit.
No shadow means.
Cover this every year and I have no idea.
All right.
If he sees his shadow,
there will be six more weeks of winter.
No.
It's going to be snowy.
No shadow.
If he doesn't, if it's cloudy and he does not
see his shadow in early spring,
What? What do you...
He won't see his shadow.
Oasis, bro, in the area.
All right, well, we'll wait.
Not today.
We'll wait till we go live through Gobblers not.
Which I can't...
You can't do that.
It's like a sentence that I don't even...
Stop it. It's like a sentence I don't even feel like I...
No, don't do that.
What are you doing?
Like, I'm going to say this sentence and none of it sounds real, right?
Punks Atony Phil is going to emerge from his borough at...
gobbler's knob for Groundhog Day.
All of those words sound so stupid.
And then we wonder why the aliens won't land here.
They're like, nah, there's nothing.
There's no intelligent light down there.
They started to and went, oh, geez.
Give us the forecast, rat.
What are they doing?
Tell us.
Are they using like a giant mouth thing to tell them if there's going to be more weather?
Yeah, they don't know.
Yeah, they don't know.
Yeah, let's just get out of here.
We've got to go.
And then as we tell you every year, there's more than one punk's
Taunny Phil.
It's everywhere.
Staten Island has one.
Like, every state's got its own fill now at this point.
That one uses a, doesn't one use a statue?
There's one that's just a statue.
Yep.
I can run through all the random, not, I'm not even saying groundhogs because some states
don't even have groundhogs.
They use a different animal.
Yeah, they use a statue.
It was one like a pig.
Hold on.
Let me see who it is.
Or something.
I feel like there's some, there's some places that have no business.
You don't just get to do it because you want to.
I feel like you have to have some type of.
of relation to the area of gobbler's knob or Pennsylvania.
You can't just do it because you're in New Mexico.
Yeah, do you want to.
Yeah, do you think the people of Gobblers Knob are pissed to see people are like jacking their swag?
Yeah, because, again, I keep taking it back to tourism.
They're not getting anybody else at Gobbler's Knob for anything but that.
So once you have some other places that are starting to try to take some credibility from them,
that's going to at least take one or two of their people away at some point.
Like you've got Chuckles the Woodchuck in Manchester, Connecticut.
Absolutely.
Chuckles whispers his prediction in the ear of the town mayor.
That's going to.
Come here.
You got Milltown Mel.
Jerry and Kathy live in a case.
Okay, so these are two.
What are these?
What?
This got a fun little backstory to it.
Here, I'll read it to you.
What is it?
Midtown Mel.
Milltown, New Jersey.
Milltown Mel.
Okay.
Was purchased in 2008 in Sunbury, Pennsylvania,
by Jerry and Kathy Goothelian
and lived in a cage in the Goothelian's backyard.
Mell's first event was the family business.
What is this telling me here?
I don't like this.
Mill Town Mel.
You can't, 2008?
Uh-uh.
You don't get to get into the game in 2008.
You don't get to just dive into the mold-guessing weather game.
Stonewall Jackson is at the Space Farms and Zoo Museum.
I think that guy might be dead.
Also in New Jersey.
Essex Ed is the groundhog, and Otis is a hedgehog at the Turtleback Zoo in Essex County.
Dundercrude, we talk about.
Western New York out near Ephrodonia, Dunkirk Dave.
Yep, see that?
Now we're getting some of these are a little more acceptable.
They're in the area.
Dunkirk Dave's in a different business, though.
Dunkirk Dave does not predict spring.
Quote, Dunkirk Dave will not predict the day.
of spring because he does not
recognize calendars.
I don't acknowledge your
calendar. Instead,
Dunkirk Dave will
predict the harshness of the
remaining winter days. Gotcha.
All right? Gotcha. He was
added, hold on, they added
another groundhog in 2014
named Buffalo Bert.
Yep. I'm with Cody.
Bert and Doug. 1980's the cutoff.
You can't get in the game in the
2000.
Can you just all of a sudden because you want to.
French Creek, Freddy is down in West Virginia.
Or else we're going to start doing something here every year.
Just making up our own groundhog.
On Groundhog Day, back in 2022, Freddie predicted six more weeks of winter.
There's hundreds of these stupid things.
Birmingham Bill.
Birmingham Bill is in the Birmingham Zoo.
You've got Stormy Marmot, which is a yellow bell.
Well, lead Marmont in Aurora, Colorado that'll do a thing today?
See, now, you're too far, you're too far out there.
This can't be a national thing.
Punks, here, let's look at the stats.
Or also, we're doing it here.
We're going to have the Syracuse snake.
And if he slithers back into his cage, we're going to see him.
That's it.
I'm a winner.
My Syracuse snake slithered out.
Ponsetani Phil statistics.
Okay.
Are kept by the Pennsylvania Groundhog Club.
Yeah, of course.
I mean, the most exclusive club.
Everyone's always like, Illuminati, Illuminati.
This is it.
No.
I'm going to read this, and I'm really, it's too early on a Monday for me to do math.
So tell me what this is saying.
Me?
Good luck.
I'm talking to them.
Not you or not.
I was saying, good luck.
Phil has predicted 106 forecasts for winter.
Okay.
And 21 for an early spring.
Wow.
That's it?
I don't know how that ended up being true or not.
One year he had a partial shadow in 1942.
He's peed a little.
There were 10 years when,
Phil's predictions were not recorded.
That was in the 1800s.
This has been a one, this has been one year where the event was canceled due to World War II.
Ninety-43, Jesus Christ.
They left the crown-hawking in the hole.
Hey, man, just, we're going through some stuff right now.
He just hang out for a little.
He just hang down in there.
Anyways, I don't know.
There's a million different rodents around town today.
He's not seeing it today.
One more winter, and it was snowing there when they showed it.
I imagine it's cloudy, so there'll be no sun.
Yeah.
Because it's only got another 45 minutes or so.
Yeah. We'll see.
If our mic's around, we'll try to go live.
But also, what?
They kind of determine it themselves.
That guy holds it.
They don't like set it down.
They're like, all right, scamper away, you son of a bitch.
I think it scampers out and then he grabs it.
I think it kind of like peeks out and that, does it say to somebody?
I saw my shadow.
So if it's like, F no, and turns around, it goes back in
before it even pops its head out.
This is that and it's just, oh, well, for this year, we don't get to see them.
And then that means that, you know what I mean?
I don't, they just grab a hold of them.
Or they can open the little door and nothing comes out and they go,
I feel died in the box.
I'm like, uh, my shadow.
We're going to pretend he saw his shadow.
Yeah, Katie is right.
Somebody gets to scroll somehow, remember?
Because they'll unscroll the thing and say,
things get decreed.
Yep.
He'll learn all about it.
We are, as always, monitoring Punks of Tani Phil live.
A gobbler's knob right now, it's just a bunch of white people being forced to dance on stage.
Thank you for the bits, B. Lanch.
They're just dancing to Mr. Brightside for some reason.
We don't know what happens next.
It's because the start.
The start of it was hilarious, but you've got to just fade it out.
I know.
Now they made them dance for the entire four minutes.
The joke isn't that it's Mr. Brightside.
The joke is that it says he's coming out of his cage and he's doing just fine.
It's a whole reference to where the ground is in currently.
You're welcome
You're welcome
Oh, so it's coming up
Let's keep rocking
Oh, okay, they're gonna keep
Oh, do you without character
districts are back?
No, they're just listening to music
Now they're getting people off the stage
All right, we're getting close
We're getting close
We will cut in live
We're getting there, we're getting there
When they pull the rodent from the stump
And finally get to the point
Yeah, all right
It's a lot to take in
Yeah, they're gonna dig in
and start getting ready here.
Right now, it's just...
I mean the caucasity of this.
To have all these white people just dancing on stage.
Oh, wait a minute here.
What?
Pardon me.
Go ahead, what?
What earlier, when I asked you how many pages of products you think there are?
He's asking Punksitani film merch.
Yeah.
There are two separate sites on the groundhog.org.
Slash souvenir shop.
You can shop the online store, which has got the 19 pages of products.
Can you get, like, what could it be?
Shirts, obviously, mugs, obviously.
A pennant, a goofy hoodie, a little kid,
uh, little kid shirts, a pencil, buttons that, all that crap.
All right.
Or you can click the other button, which is the Puxitone Chamber of Commerce official
souvenir store, which has then other things.
Wow.
Wow.
Other collections and things to buy.
Like, oh my God.
They're making money.
Good for them.
Yeah.
They got to get their nut.
What's your nut?
They got to get their nut.
I don't make any nut all of this plugs of Tony film merch.
I didn't know it's such a big deal.
Ah, yeah, they're just still dancing.
We're waiting.
Still going?
My nut's $50.
Look at this guy.
Look at your screen.
It's just guys with top hats.
It's like the Windows 95 release video where it's like Bill Gates and all the dorks
dancing on stage.
And I say this as a dorky white guy who likes to dance around during his house
party.
So, uh...
Yeah.
But you know what, though?
That's not forced.
There's nothing more hilarious than when people are forced to dance.
And what's like, as somebody who, you know, between the two of us,
have been to plenty of live events at this point.
When you're in the middle of a song and they make you dance for the whole song,
it feels like the longest song ever.
They just shot some flamethrowers off.
They just threw confetti.
Oh, my God.
If you guys get in our Twitch channel, I got it on in the background.
Oh, my God.
What do you see it?
Well, and I'm seeing it in a delay of just everything.
I think they're going to pull Phil any minute now.
You're listening to K Rock live coverage of the annual Punks of Taney Phil.
Well, they can do it whenever the hell they want.
Because it's already done.
It's already done.
The scroll has been printed.
Yep, they've already got the scroll, which means they already did all this.
You know, it's just a rodent.
It doesn't have to see its shadow because they're not going to set it down.
No, and we're getting six more weeks of winter no matter what you want.
Yes.
They're going to grab.
it, pull it out. I agree. I think it would be
hilarious if it bit one of them. The band's
name, if you didn't hear it in Twits, was juvenile
characteristics. And they're exactly what you think.
They're like a local bar band. They're
having a great time down there.
What is even that?
I mean, this event started at 3 a.m. by the way.
I looked at their schedule of events.
So people had to get there, what, two in the
morning? What are we doing?
For four hours you're doing this?
Get jobs.
Ponsetani Phil has only been right
35% of the time.
Well, it doesn't bode well for them.
It's really they could have it be whatever they want.
They could just guess and be like, yep, we're getting the new springs coming early every year.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says the Groundhog has no predictive skills because it's only been right about 30% of the time.
Still, people love to go see punts and Tunny Phil and the members of Gobbler's Knob dance around on stage.
So are they just vamping now until the sun comes up?
Is that what they have to do?
We're just having a time of our lives.
Last year, Phil spotted his shadow, signaling six more weeks of winter.
Ran like F. Haven't seen him since.
Got the hell out of here.
Chris says he wants to go?
No, you don't.
Chris, you don't want to go to this.
Chris in our chat says he wants to go one time just to say he was there.
We're there right now.
Chris, we can all say I'm there right now.
We can all lie and say that we were there right now.
Now, do they open that door and he's just behind there all bloodthirsty?
Is he just back there craving human flesh?
I mean, is he just in there seeking the bloods of the virgins?
He's probably pissed off.
I don't think he's in there.
You don't think he's in that?
Dude, they could not.
I'm not like, you know, Mr. Animal rights.
Yeah.
But you cannot leave a groundhog in a hollowed out fake tree stump while juvenile characteristics rocks their balls off.
And now we got flamethrowers.
We got dances going on.
That's what you think.
Oh, my God.
The sun is up, guys, pull him.
Not yet. It's not up yet.
Oh, my God.
Ken says there is no alcohol allowed at this event either.
What?
Tell that the juvenile characteristics.
What?
Why would you want no alcohol?
Is it like a dry county or something?
Oh, there means he's pretending he's singing.
Oh, my God.
Alcohol sales were banned in Gobblers' Knob in 1996.
So, uh-oh.
Somebody went buck-wow.
It's a dry.
Hell no.
Well, you can be stoned.
You can all have a good time.
Yeah, there's not a chance that you can go to this and not be.
Back in the 1880s, they would eat Phil after he made his prediction.
Hell yeah.
They served them up after the first official Groundhog Day in 1880s said he was very tender.
Despite that fact, officials at the Groundhog Club claim he is immortal.
Nah, he's assing.
Meaning that this, I'm supposed to believe this is an immortal Ponsetani Phil.
He has never died.
Yeah.
Because he feasts on the blood of the virgins.
Yes.
Duh.
Phil's wife is, Phyllis, we knew that.
They've never had children.
I just...
Oh, and don't worry.
This is all too much.
Don't worry.
You want another layer of the lore?
Phil is immortal.
Yeah.
Because he drinks the elixir of life.
Yeah.
Duff.
Phyllis is not immortal,
meaning Phil is able to marry many different women.
Nice.
Of course he can.
Good for him.
They got to make sure that...
Make sure the groundhog can get all the Puna Wants.
Go ahead.
Thank you.
Well, yeah, but what if Phil was able to get like...
Endless Poonarney.
Yeah, because he lives forever.
That's the dream, right?
Endless snatch, huh?
Yeah, they're literally blowing off.
The Groundhog wants endless beaver.
Flame throwers right now.
Yeah, that's...
Oh, fireworks!
All right, is it the time?
Fireworks got to...
It's got to signal it.
Okay.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Miss Pennsylvania.
Miss Pennsylvania.
Oh, very nice.
A good night.
Ryan Joel.
Hey, we got to say good night and good morning to the fillette featured dancers.
Oh, the fillet feature dancers.
You need them to part the seas.
We're going to come down right here.
Please make way.
Get the hell off the stage.
We got to pull the road.
This is a line for the fillettes.
The inner circle will be coming in.
We need to make a line.
The inner circle.
What are they doing right now?
Pointy little elbows and they're going to use them.
If you hear a curse, can you just yell at me?
Because I'm half paying attention to this.
Maybe.
It might be worth.
They said they're going to bring up the crew now, the circle crew.
If they're not allowed to have booze, they're not allowed to swear.
Jim Pascuzzo.
He's been here all morning.
Hey, Joe Buscuzzo.
This is spring break, we call him.
He was here last year.
And you know what fascinating about this is it's like...
Not much?
Oh, sorry.
Well, like every small town knows each other.
Oh, yeah.
Jos Pekuzzo, whatever his name is.
Josipikia, Jos Pekuzzo.
It's like if you were at, like, you're in like the Rome, you know, the county fair.
But we're all tuned into their local thing.
Yep.
One of them is Gomez.
Oh, how are they doing?
Now we've cut to what appears to be.
Oh, they're bringing the royal court in.
You're listening to live coverage of Gobbler's Knob.
We are covering Punksitani Phil as it happens.
There appears to be like a police escort of the inner circle.
This is called the inner circle.
This is the guest, the people who are allowed to be on stage.
Please give some love to the executive director of Puczitoni Grown Club.
Ladies and gentlemen, won't you please give a rousing welcome to the inner circle of the Ponsetotty Ground Club?
Absolutely, I'd love to give.
Did we just hear what the guy just was told in his ear over the thing?
No, the one guy's mic keeps cutting out for some reason.
We'll say that'd be even funnier.
Because then we might hear swears.
Wait, what's on?
Are you guys hyped?
I'm hyped.
You can see it in Twitter.
We'll describe it to you if you're listening in the audio.
Here's the thing.
I was hyped before when they did the video.
Now I'm like, well, you're telling me they should have timed it better.
Yeah.
So it was hype video and then this moment.
I was hyped before.
They should have been doing the video and had these guys come walking out.
I would have caught the dancing to Mr. Brightside for four and a half minutes.
And then three other songs while they waited for these old white guys to get ready.
Well, now who is the inner circle?
Is that you?
That looks like you.
Who is the inner circle?
That one is.
What is the Pug?
Jojo, can you find that? What is that?
He said one of them was the head of the
Puxatani whatever club.
So whoever's probably planning this.
Sarah says it's their secret society.
Babies.
Body of Phil, given to you, blood of Phil.
Given to you? Body of Phil.
Body of Phil, given to you.
You're just tuning in, this is live coverage of Groundhog Day.
Because you got to know,
it's information we got to know.
There are way too many of them.
There's so many.
of the inner circle. Again, this is
the VIP, I guess. That one guy's
hammered. The one that's me,
I'm hammered. This is the
VIP circle. Draining it my
ass! This guy looks exactly like
Cody by the gate. Not the white beard guy.
No, the happy guy. That looks exactly
like Cody for those you watch. Look,
he's high-fiving people. He's having a great time.
I'd be high-fiving. Twitch.tv.tv.com slash K-Rox, C&Y.
I can't believe how long it's taking these... There's 40 of the inner circle
and they had to walk from the furthest point
of the back...
Yeah, why don't...
Of the park?
Why wouldn't they just be backstage?
I don't know!
Because the guy said part the seas.
Like, they had to come through the crowd.
They had to get the...
Ladies, off the stage.
A bunch of old white guys need to get up here.
And it really is, all old white guys.
There wasn't a single woman in there, was there?
No, no, no.
Women don't know much about the Pucatan Phil.
They don't understand the complexities of it.
They couldn't.
Their tiny brains couldn't understand.
No, they would never be able to comprehend.
What we need to do here.
They only track the bears with their...
I think it's time.
I think it's time.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
Well, they don't have to decree things first?
Well, he's got the scroll.
Yeah, it doesn't have to do a decree.
And now they're standing around the stump because they're going to pull them out of there.
Yeah.
He's going to decree a thing and then pull them and then read.
The Groundhog Club's inner circle is a group of local dignitaries responsible for carrying tradition of Groundhog Day every year.
They are the ones who are not only responsible for planning the events every year, but they're also responsible for feeding Phil himself.
Here we go.
If he, I would love...
Thomas Dunkle.
What's up, Mother of us!
The Punctanee Groundhog Club.
What up, Don!
Welcome to Punk Satani!
We're already living here.
Welcome to Groundhog Day.
Yeah, we've been it since 3 a.m.
Bob, let's go.
Show me your environment.
Who's fired up for an early spring?
I'm okay with you the choice.
Let's just pull them out.
He wants six more weeks?
Nobody. Let's go.
We're freezing.
I'm okay with it.
It's on.
your work. I'm just happy to be here.
I just like the friends we've made along
the way. My ride doesn't come for three hours.
For the very first time.
Not us. We're all from the town.
I hope you're having a great time.
Mildly.
How many guests have visited us two or more times?
All of us because we're all from here.
We're from Goddler's not.
It depends on your age.
If you are 30, you've been here 30 times.
How many people are celebrating?
their birthday!
What? Are you talking?
None of us, because that's the weirdest question ever.
Listen, as a couple of guys who do a lot of stagers,
let's move it along here, bud.
Chuckie Love would have kicked your ass off stage 10 minutes ago.
I love it.
He does an awesome groundhog call.
He's going to say ground hog, and you're going to say ground hog.
What?
What?
How many of you been here three to seven times?
Ten or more?
All right, sorry.
He says Groundhog and then we go, Groundhog.
Hey, guys, how are you doing today?
Okay, here we go.
We're good, we're good.
Thank you, Griff.
Live coverage of Pugetani, Phil.
I didn't think so.
Are we ready?
He does a radio shift.
Absolutely.
Ready?
Here we go.
Ready?
Ground.
Oh, boy.
And then we...
Groundhog.
I don't know, guys.
We're not sure what to do.
We're not showing.
sure what to do.
The other guy did...
Not another one!
Oh, I want to do that part.
Right, get the damn
Groundhog out of the ground.
Groundhog!
Average of Punksazani, Phil,
Twitch.tvish. Do we do it?
You get two of. You don't get three. There you go.
Mr. Vice President.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, we're not done.
We're not done.
We're not done.
Please introduce the members of the
inner circle. Jesus Christ!
Thank you.
All 37 of you.
Happy Groundhog Day well.
When I say your name, please step forward.
Get it to give a speech.
It's time to get serious.
We need to hear what Phil has to say.
But before we do that, we want to introduce those standing on the stage who make Groundhog Day possible.
Are you getting paid by the word?
Let's go.
First of all, I want to acknowledge all the dignitaries that are joining us here on stage.
Dignitaries.
A lot of your chat says this is worse than jury duty.
Yeah, you're not getting a free lunch from this.
We're going to go around and everyone's count two truths and a lie about themselves.
The Inner Circle.
Tom Ebertie.
Big winemaker.
Which one's Chris Jericho?
That's a little thing for wrestling fans.
Why, what is that reference?
There was a stable.
There was an AW, the inner circle.
Oh, that's funny.
Good job.
Bill Dealey is no longer with us.
Oh, rest in peace, Bill.
There we go.
Really, Dealey.
Cool, thanks for bringing down the room.
Thanks, dude.
Cool.
You know that these guys meet at least once a month,
and it smells like the most coffee ever.
Once a month?
You think once a week?
If they're planning this thing,
this is like the most old guy meeting ever.
Dude, yeah, the second they start, it's once.
Matt Lucas is right. This is Alex, owner of Punksetani Honda.
There's like.
Lundy, Fairweather Man.
Once a day as they get closer to this, they're meeting.
It's the American Legion.
Farkas, frostbite.
Yeah.
Farkis, Frostbite.
Fascinating member.
Jay Lundy is overcast.
What?
Oh, they have nicknames?
Yeah, it's their biggest thing.
To Jason Groskey, Big Chill.
Big Chill.
What a big chill.
Do you think that the inner circle gives you your name?
Yes.
I have to earn it.
You earn it.
Yeah, you earn it.
The ground hugged day inner circle, you have to kill a guy and then you get in the circle.
It's storm builder.
And it's in the matter of which you kill the person.
That's the name.
Daybreaker.
Daybreaker.
You don't want to know how he kill a guy.
On the groundhog call was Rob McCoy downpour.
Exactly.
Down poor.
Down poor.
I call on the inner circle to at least.
to allow one woman or one
person of color in for next year.
Can we please?
It's 30 white guys.
To entertain you,
the Dr. Dave Thunder
Conductor Jolotti.
Dr. Dave Thunder Conductor.
Guys, if you're just tuning in, yes.
This is live coverage of Puntatani Phil.
He was supposed to be pulled
at 707 this morning.
We're in it for the long game now.
We can't say it and not do it.
His handler.
AJ Deroom is Rainmaker.
All right, Rainmaker.
Let's get to it.
Pull his ass off.
President of the Punksetani Groundhog Club and the only man who could speak to Punksitani Phil is the president, Thomas Dungle, Shingle Shaker.
That's your boy.
The Shingle Shaker is your boy.
I need the shingleshaker in college.
Let's talk about this cane.
Now, Jesus.
Jesus Christ.
This cane is handed down from president to president.
Oh, my God.
My father once held this very cane.
And before him.
Storm Builders' grandfather held this fairy cane.
This cane gives me the ability.
Some big fans back there.
That's how I communicate with Bill.
He's going to knock on the door.
Oh, he needs the magic cane.
Now, I'm going to knock three times, and I need you all.
Yep, here we go.
According to 140 years of tradition, I will take this cane,
and I will knock three times on the barrel.
Someone did their homework and knew how many anato is going to be.
A.J. Deroom will gently lift Phil.
All right.
Let's get to it.
White people are so weird.
Let's go.
Come on.
He will then.
I'm embarrassed.
Upon the stump where Phil and I will have a little talk about whether he sees his shadow or not.
If it's my shadow, I see.
My shadow.
Winter there will be.
Bo!
Bo!
As you.
Bo!
No.
You're just tuning in live coverage from Gobblers' Knob.
Then they behead him on the stump.
They should.
They used to eat him.
They would.
And it will be read by the vice president, Dan McGinley.
I forget his nickname.
Okay, here we go.
Are you ready?
Yes, we've been ready for half an hour.
We've been ready for 40 minutes.
Daybreaker!
Daybreaker!
Red carpet!
Moonshine, please place the scrolls upon the stump.
He puts the scrolls out of the stump.
Now it's her tradition to get Phil fired up.
Oh, God.
By chanting, Phil.
What was the thing before?
Phil. Phil.
Phil.
Phil.
Phil.
Let's go, Phil.
Here we go.
One, two, three.
There we go.
Here we go.
All right, now the handler's allowed to talk to him,
but not speak to him only the president again.
Don't you talk to.
Don't you speak to the groundhog.
Are you one of the hell?
He'll turn him to the groundhog.
His door's frozen close too.
Hey,
come on, get the ground dog out.
What if he just turned to the camera?
He's dead.
Somebody's killed, Phil.
He's like, he's not in here.
Somebody's kidding.
He's not in here.
Stumped this whole time and I'm mad about it.
No, absolutely he has.
I'm mad about it.
He's been sleeping in that hay.
He's pulling him out of the hay right now.
Juvenile consequences rocked the hell out of that stage
and this poor animal was just in that stump the whole time?
The only guy tried to jump up on it.
It's Pucksadani!
Yeah!
What's up, bitches?
That's what he was thinking.
Absolutely.
Oh, they feed him up through the bottom.
He's just hanging out in a little area down there.
That'd be awesome when they shot him up like Ray Mysterio.
I wish.
They're talking to Phil.
Oh, they're whispering secrets.
Here we go.
We have a scroll.
All right.
They're ready. They're ready. They're ready.
They're ready.
Oh, it's more winter.
It's more winter.
Everybody in?
Yes.
We've been here since three, Baud.
Yeah.
Here you, hear you.
What am I through to commercial right now?
Now on this February 2nd, Punksitani Phil, the Sears.
Prognosticator of all prognosticators,
was awakened from his wintry nap at dawn on Gobblers' Knob.
Phil looked to the skies, and then speaking in ground hogies,
directed President Dunkel to the proper scroll, which reads,
Uh-oh.
It's my great honor.
to answer your annual call.
I'm delicious.
So I rise again this morning to greet you all.
But today, I wake thinking of numbers and time.
America turns 250, and I'm at least 139.
Because we ate the first one.
Let's celebrate all young, old, babies, or millennial,
and kick off America's semi-quincentennial.
We look to the future and not just the past.
Yes, Phil said all.
of this. So I suppose this party could use a forecast.
It is my job this February 2
to look to the skies and report back
to you that there is a shadow here on my
ground. Six more weeks of winter abound.
Oh, Phil, you dick! Kill him!
I hate this stupid. Kill him! Kill him! Kill it! Kill the ground.
Kill him! Eat him! Eat him!
Murder the Groundhog! Drink his blood!
Fill the Groundhog!
Yeah, let's hear it.
Listen to him.
F you, Phil and chat, let's hear it.
Throw it on the ground hard!
Snap its neck! Snap its damn neck!
Listen to the crowd!
Yeah, they're mad!
That's hilarious.
Why would you make...
Why would you make Punksitani Phil a heel?
Damn right. After all of that.
After all of that.
Not...
Listen.
Hulk Hogan, heel-turned, starts end of
John Ced to turn Ceele last year.
Box of Taney Phil 2026.
Wow.
But it is so cold this year.
We're afraid to keep Phil out in the cold.
So he's not even doing a meet and greet, they said.
No, no meeting greet. It canceled.
So I apologize.
What we're going to do is DJ's going to come up to the front of the stage,
and we're going to ask you to turn around and do a selfie.
And that's it.
It's too cold for Phil.
He's not doing a meeting greet.
Nope.
I love it.
Phil said, nah, I said it's winter and it's cold.
What an epic heel turn.
And then they're like, well, you ready for the meet and greet?
He goes, oh, did I just say that it's going to be cold longer?
What an epic heel turn, dude.
I love it.
He comes out, tells you you're going to get six more weeks a winner, and I'm not shaking any of your hands.
Drops the mic walks out.
I drove seven hours for a meet and greet with Phil.
I drove seven hours for this.
I bought a selfie real quick.
That's it.
Phil will be doing selfies, and then that is it.
Bye.
Busy weekend for both of us, man.
All right.
What do we do?
Well, Friday we were on Bridge Street because we were a couple media darlings.
I mean, the media requests us.
I almost got a three-peat.
That was close.
The news covered the Beaville Big Chill, but I was inside the tent, so I didn't get any footage.
But, uh, who, still.
We went on Bridge Street.
That was a fun Friday event.
Yep.
And then what I had, oh, we had basketball Friday night.
And then Saturday, you and I split up our local duty.
as we're a couple live local fellas.
I mean, we got live localins to do.
You went over to the brew fest.
Yep.
I was out at the Beaville Big Chill.
Let's start with the Brewfest.
How was that?
It was packed.
I wanted to do that traveling teasing.
That looks cool.
That was also packed.
The couple times I went over there, there were just too many people.
There was a VIP session.
Okay.
If you went for that, you got to sample some whatnot.
So I poured for that.
And then once the doors opened,
Oh, my God.
It was so packed.
I was shocked.
I assumed it would be one of those where it was kind of like,
it'll get busier as the afternoon gets going,
and then, you know, it'll be kind of busy,
and then, you know, the second session will be packed.
It was packed from the second the doors opened.
Yeah, that's good.
Big-ass line and a lot of fun little mocktail things that we were talking about.
You try anything you haven't had before?
I forget the names of the mocktails I tried.
I tried some fun little different ones.
Our friends at Airloom were over there doing mocktails and stuff.
So that was cool
A bunch of neat little vendors
We happened to be pouring right next to
Cheeseville pepperoni company
So they were right there
There was another cheese place to just sample cheeses
I love it I love it
Yep
I was out in BVille watching you lunatics
Jump in the Frozen River for charity
Yeah
It was like
I asked Kyle I go is this the coldest one we've ever done
And he said no we did one colder
Like a long time ago
How?
Like the river
They had to
They pulled a bucket loader out near the water to break the ice up.
They had to keep digging the ice out of the river.
Those poor, I just think they're sheriffs or whatever.
That just makes me shiver.
I met one of the sheriffs.
His name was Cody.
Listen to us every day.
What up, Cody.
But they get in those dry suits and just sit.
Is that the Seneca River, I think?
They just sit in that river as people run down.
And I MC the thing every year.
Yeah.
And I stick to a very close schedule
Because everyone's got to go at a certain time
Yeah
So I always feel horrible
When people are in their bathing suits
Standing right there
And I'm like dude
You got two more minutes
You want to come back in the heated tent
No, that's okay
I'll just stand out here
Into the cold tank
Run down there
And they would jump in the river lunatics
But they all do it for a great cause
Everybody does it for their own different charities
Yeah
Over the Beaville big chill
We uh Sammy Gow was there
A bunch of great restaurants were there
What do they have just like outside
Or like in that tent
Like
The heated tent has a bunch of food
Sample so like five bucks you can come in there and eat
so I'm inside that tent DJing it
and I'm seeing it. Heck yeah.
They're doing a thing. I don't know if it's still on the menu
but I got to see. For Beaville
Dining Week, San Miguel's
doing a Berea Mac and Cheese, bro.
It was so good. It was
so good. The Wood
was over there. They were right next to me. They're that
golf course. I met Heather the owner. I said we're going
to have to do something this summer over at the Wood. Get out
there, man. That'd be cool. Do a little golf
action. And then Saturday night
I take seven teenage boys up to the dome.
That's what everyone's looking to do.
For what ended up being a good game, they broke their losing streak.
Yep, thank God.
I forgot that they were going to honor Lawrence Moten at halftime, and they did.
Jim Beheim was out there with all the Moten family, and John Wallace was there, which was awesome.
It was cool.
This town would have imploded if they lost.
Yeah, I was nervous.
I was nervous.
They played well.
They broke that streak, and hopefully, I don't know.
on, we get a little something going here.
No, yeah, if they don't win out.
This town, that's it.
Poor Red.
Poor Red.
Got to go.
He said, though, on an interview, that comes with a job.
You know, getting critiqued and all that.
Yes, that's it.
Sucks.
So, well, that one great.
The boys were great.
Everybody was great.
And then what I do yesterday, we had the youngest birthday party.
Had some Buffalo Wild Wings and some Carbell ice cream cake.
Ice cream cake.
We already reviewed the Rumble, but that also fell this week.
It was very busy weekend.
You were just everything.
You were just kind of indifferent about it.
You said, you were like, whatever.
I liked it, but it just, the men's one was,
could have been done so much better.
You could have still had Roman be the winner
and done it differently where you didn't need to have him win at all.
Yeah.
I just, it used to be an event that was used to get over somebody
that was like right on the cusp.
Yeah, why Roman Reigns?
Is he going to be the next big, like,
is he retiring next?
Right?
Is that just want to get another one in there for him?
I don't know.
Now it's almost, they have whoever win,
so they have an easy way, an easy storyline.
All right there, that's how we can get his title match.
Now we can worry about the other guys' harder storyline.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
It was.
That was fine.
Women's Rumbles always really good.
And again, there were some moments in that where it's like,
eh, but I still like that one.
That was fine.
And then Gunther being a legend killer, retires AJ Stiles.
But you said he's going to go to where?
I don't know other places, but is it TNA?
Is that what he's going to go do?
Because that's where he was originally from and built up that company.
But, I mean, you're going to wrestle there.
I mean, there's a couple guys.
If you still want to wrestle, why leave WWU?
I don't know.
Yeah.
So that's just it.
And they don't want to keep AJ Styles, you think?
I don't think.
And he said, no, he wants to go do other stuff.
Or he's just, I don't know.
It's just a little weird.
But, I mean, these guys, they're all almost 50.
I know.
You're going to do something.
You're getting to an era now, but we're going to need a whole lot of retirement matches.
It's going to be fast.
furious for the next two years of guys.
Coming up on Sunday, the Super Bowl.
How do you like that?
Seahawks Patriots face off in Super Bowl 60.
Coming up towards the end of the week, Cody and I are going to put together our Super Bowl bingo
card.
We started working on this earlier.
Just a fun little game to play while we're watching the Super Bowl.
I think it'll be fun.
AI commercials or whatever we see.
Fill out the bingo card.
That's going to be brought to you by our friends at Fisk Electric, presenting you the
K-Rock Bingo card for what to watch for on this.
the game.
And then we can put it up on, like, the socials, and you can print it, and we can all play together.
I know you're all looking forward to the Super Bowl, but some of us are looking forward to the new
Muppet Show special on Wednesday.
Oh, yeah, bud.
All right.
I mean, Cousin' J's amp for it.
Depending on what it is, I might watch it.
I think they're always funny.
They, I like how they incorporate adult things with the, with the Muppets.
It's not just for Children's.
It's not Sesame Street.
Show special.
I don't think it's a recurring thing.
Muppet Joe special produced by Seth Rogen
stars Sabrina Carpenter
and the classic Muppets.
A special event will be a single event
available February 4th coming up this Wednesday.
It's time to play the music.
It's time to light the lights.
Also, did you see they're going to be doing
a show?
Which is weird because I always bring up the burbs with Tom Hanks.
They're making a TV show out of the burbs,
starting on Sunday.
Oh, how?
I don't know.
Like, is it, but I mean, like, is it a fake?
Like, it's, um, Jesus.
Just called Burbs.
It's something, or is it like a game show somehow that they've...
The Burbs TV show is based on the 1989 Tom Hanks movie.
Oh, all right.
What would that be like?
What's it going to be on?
Peacock?
Yeah.
Well, sorry, because that'll be gone to.
Are you getting rid of your peacock?
Well, it's all the DVD stuff slowly moves over.
I'll have no real reason.
I've watched.
There's a couple things on Peacock, but...
Thank you for the bit.
Swing and appreciate that.
Like, that's another.
when the head, rich, old-ass white guy of Peacock
gets around the other rich-ass old white guy of Netflix,
he can piss and moan about the fact that,
you're taking all of my people or your Netflix
because they're from my WW.
Let them worry about it because...
And they'll all just buy each other.
And all these rich-ass old white guys
that are getting all of our money think they're all so slick.
Plus, your boy's busy this month.
I get to see nine-ish nails in two weeks.
heading down the New Jersey for that.
Then I'm going to go to a Nick's Rockets game the week after that.
Man.
Electricity is more than a source of energy.
At its best, electricity is a rush, a thrill, a feeling.
From hybrids to plug-in hybrids to the all-electric Lexus RZ,
this is our take on electric.
One that puts what you need,
what makes you feel confident,
inspired, excited, above all else.
After all, if it doesn't spark something in you,
is it really electric?

We got some food items coming up this month
February is a big fast food month
For different stuff
Well, shamrock shake is back
You kind of let down lately?
I don't know I mean
I feel like it's one of those where it's got to
go away for a little while.
I'm not really in the mood for a mint shake right now.
They do the Oreo Shamrock McFlurry as well.
Do you like that?
I don't think I've ever gotten that.
Oh, I like it a lot.
I'm not, when I pick like flurries and stuff, I usually don't, because I'm going, I usually
go to DQ and get a blizzard, and I don't pick Oreo.
So it's never usually an option for me, but I would.
I bet it's good.
Well, as long as they're talking sweets, how about the new Frosties coming to Wendy's this
month, Frosties made with Kit Katz, or the Snickerdoodle cookie Frosty.
All right, that one might be okay.
I mean, Kit Kat's, yeah, but, I mean, then you're just taking a candy bar and breaking it up and
put it into a frosty.
I mean, it's not really...
It's kind of a flurry at that point.
Yeah, it's not really fancy about it, but a little pieces of sugar cookie wouldn't be bad.
I wouldn't hit that or snickerdoodle.
Go through some other fast food items we're going to be getting this month.
Also, yes, that's also true.
that it's not made of shamrocks.
It's not made of real shamrocks, and that's the laddown.
I mean, well, Wendy's also
have a new burgundy this month, the barbecue bacon melt.
What's?
Barbecue bacon melts.
They always do this.
Well, like, oh, it's new, or Burger King is the steakhouse or whatever.
Like, these aren't new.
It looks like a, it looks like a standard Wendy's burger.
Yeah, with some crispy onions on it, some bacon and barbecue sauce.
Yeah, that's not a, like, ooh, you've, you've shattered the mold, Wendy's.
You've done it.
Now, what is this?
McDonald's this month?
month is going to have something called the chicken
Ticca Rapp, T-I-K-K-A, Tika Rapp?
Is it like a...
And the Philly Cheese Stack.
What is that?
McDonald's Philly Cheese Stack.
Let's see, Jinnaker Rapp.
Oh, okay.
The McDonald's Philly Cheese Tack will be a limited time burger in
2006, two beef patties, a cheese sauce,
grilled crispy onions, and cheese slices.
No.
I don't need that.
It's a lot. It's a lot of chad.
I don't need the onions.
It's a lot of chattah, bud.
KFC has that handheld pot pie coming out.
We did see that.
And those cheese curds.
Oh, cheese curds.
Okay, okay.
Shake Shack is going to debut their true love shake.
Vanilla custard, strawberry puree,
and a crackable chocolate shell.
Oh, okay.
I've seen that in some things where they put it on the inside of, like, a plastic cup.
You know what I mean?
Like, remember that stuff on the ice?
ice creams that would harden and then you make your
drink and then once you get it you're cool
that's cool I like that
so that's neat that's neat I like that one
where was that shake shake shake shake
shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake
chick filet is going to bring back their heart
shape trays filled with nuggets
mini cookies and brownies
also it's like a little like
like heart thing and then they fill it with
okay oh dairy queen's got a spicy
lemonade lemonade too spicy
coming out this month it's so spicy what's got sprayed in it
it's got sprayed in it it's
That that tachine sauce, T-A-G, J-I-M, whatever that is.
Yep.
That's seasoning.
And then we don't really, we don't have jack in the box around here.
No.
Crispy cream we don't got.
Duncan will have their seasonal lineup, we'll tell you about.
Where do all those crispy creams come from when everybody tries to make people in their offices feel guilty and buy them for their kids?
I think they have to drive to like a central location and bring them back.
I don't know what that location is.
I don't say all of a sudden we don't have them, but we have fundraisers for them, that's for sure.
We are your home for QS basketball coming off of a win.
On Friday night, we are the home of Syracuse Athletics in the Mohawk Valley.
94-9, I'll have QS at UNC tonight.
That'll be a rough one.
Yeah, they'll be a rough one, but that is right on at 94-9 tonight, of course.
BroStat, TK99 has it in Syracuse and Oswego.
And again.
Getting down to the native-gritty now, a month left.
Who do you think wins in a fight between Easter Bunny and Santa?
Santa has more magical powers, I think.
So I think he would win.
Easter Bunny's quick, but Santa's magic.
I picture the Easter Bunny doing that kangaroo kick
where it leans back on its tail and does kangaroo kick to Santa.
But I think you're right, Santa wins that.
Yeah.
Leopardone versus Punctatatani, Phil.
What do you like?
Oh, leprechaun also has magic.
But that thing's got them crazy teeth.
Tooth Fairy versus Easter Bunny.
Ooh. Again, the
The magic helps, because I don't know what they're capable of.
I don't know if the tooth fairy's capable of.
So I lean tooth fairy.
I'm looking at this poll who put these matchups on a Reddit,
and it looks like Santa's going to be the champ.
42% believe that Santa would win in all this fight.
Okay.
Between all of them.
Cupid versus a leprechaun, who do you like?
Oh, Cupid. He's got arrows.
Yeah, he's got arrows.
You're right.
You're right.
Just wait for the leprechaun to be in one spot for a sec.
Yeah.
Cupid would come in in second place.
Second place.
Second place.
Because of the arrows?
I think because of the arrows.
Jeez.
And the gift of flight, right?
That's what I mean.
He can fly around and then just shoot you.
You just change out the little hearts that make you fall in love with an arrow.
Punks of Taney, Phil.
I feel like couldn't beat any of these things.
No.
We just watched him live an hour ago.
He just let some old white guy scoop them right up.
Hmm.
Scoop them right up.
Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny are on the bottom of the list.
because, you know.
Truth Fairy and Easter.
Yeah, I mean,
I don't think the Easter Bunny
really wants violence.
No, but I mean.
And it depends on how big
your Easter Bunny, like, is.
I don't, I don't picture,
I've never seen the Easter Bunny,
but I don't picture
the Easter Bunny is very large, do you?
No, I picture him as a small, petite bunny.
Same.
A little tiny, little bunny, but
exchanges one of the Mages, like a little bomb
or something, a little grenade.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, happy Easter.
Oh, boy.
And that is.
Explodesville for you, fella.
315-364-109 K-Rock text line.
This is a wild story down in Florida
where Tiffany and Stephen
have filed a lawsuit
against an Orlando-based IVF fertility clinic.
Okay.
Because they gave birth to someone else's baby.
Isn't that...
I mean, I don't know how that works.
No, so, like, if you're at a fertility clinic...
I thought it was someone else's...
Remember, like, I used to calm...
Test two babies back in the 90s.
Yeah, yeah.
It's kind of that.
Like, you make an embryo.
Okay.
Like, off-site, I guess, and then it's put into the warden.
And then they squirted into the Gianni?
All right.
Not to get too scientifically.
And they squirted someone else's two baby into this lady's genie?
The couple store three embryos at the facility in 2020.
Okay.
Court documents filed last month say that reproductive endocrinologist, Dr.
Milton McNeichol.
Big word.
used another patient's embryo
during her April fertility treatment
in December she gave birth to
a child that was of a different racial background
knowingly this guy did this
I don't know that's what they're trying to find out
at least he screwed up big
wow yeah that's um
genetic testing confirmed the baby has no genetic relationship
to each either parent
do they know whose it is though
I would hope they can find the documents
But then what do you do?
Just give it up.
Like, here you go.
They put this two baby into me,
even though they're supposed to end to you.
Well, it says the baby remains with the couple
who have formed a strong emotional bond, obviously.
Well, because that's his mom now.
Yeah.
What a wild story.
That's crazy.
I mean, obviously, you're going to sue that boat.
Yeah, I want to know if the guy did it knowingly
because he didn't have, like,
on off or he didn't get there embryo.
He lost it or it was like a, I don't know.
I don't know.
Because that sucks.
It sucked even more if he did it unknowingly.
It was just a mistake because he wasn't paying attention or you know what I mean?
Just neglect or whatever the hell?
And I'm thinking like what about this other family?
Like they, that's their baby too.
It's the guy like, yeah, I don't, I don't know.
I don't.
That's.
Oh, man.
What a mess.
That sucks.
What a wild mess.
Yeah, I wonder if they are going to try to find like who's.
Say like, no, this is the embryo of these parents and you just birthed it.
Or do you not?
because now here's the thing
somebody else is out a baby
not like not the
current tube baby
yeah the embryo
or did they
flip flop
flip flop so now that
say they did
yeah
say that they've both
that they accidentally flip flopped
and they both have each other's baby
could you swap
I don't know could you be like all right
I grew your baby you grew mine
let's trade I bet a mom couldn't
I don't think you could
and who's even
that would have to be like
the best
worst case scenario
is that if I had
if I brought in three
and you brought in three
and somehow the doctor switched
one of ours for each others
that you got to hope that
I tried to have a baby
the same time that you did
because who knows
because if you're using IVF clearly
you're having trouble
you know could you
natural ways so this is like
already a stressful situation
so could you imagine that
I got it and I did this I had this baby
and it was your baby that I didn't know about for like two or three years,
and then you guys had a baby,
and then like somehow the courts made a switch.
Oh, my God.
All of a sudden, I now have a baby that I'd never had before,
that again, I already had a baby, and I raised it,
but it's your baby.
So now you don't get to have the baby stage.
All of it is insane.
It's insane.
Kelly and Chad's right.
My head just exploded.
This is so sad.
A couple spend so much money and emotional effort trying to have a baby,
and they finally have a baby, and it's not even theirs.
Oh, that's awful.
Yeah, there's already a bond that's been.
That's what I mean. I don't want to speak at any of that stuff because I don't know what.
Taxline said my wife and I had our son via IVF and this was my biggest nightmare throughout the entire ordeal.
Because how would you know?
You don't, I guess. You're just relying on the place to be professional and not the place that we're talking about right now.
That's crazy.
I'm sad for everybody involved.
That sucks.
Twitch.tv slash K-Rock. C&Y.
We add-a-baby.
It's a boy.
They didn't even hear that one.
I couldn't hold.
Good old.
Good one.
Popcorn rumble.
His belly's gormone because he ate too much popcorn.
I eat almost a whole bag.
That's your boy.
Almost a whole bag myself.
What else did you eat yesterday?
I've been kind of grazing.
Because I need to clear out things.
Good.
So I had a couple leftover meatballs, a couple mott sticks.
Oh, pretty good.
The other, like, obviously nuts.
Yeah.
And then then the last.
of that popcorn.
So much of it.
So the only thing is left
is a little Tupperware thing full of it.
Y'all were laughing at me during that Green Day song
because I said,
I'm back on my cheese sandwich, BS.
I mean, I haven't heard people
eating a cheese sandwich at a long time.
Over the course of the weekend,
I probably ate six cheese sandwiches.
And I'm farty?
My body can handle it.
I got a high tolerance.
I got a high cheese sandwich tolerance.
That's pretty impressive.
And it's all white bread.
Well, it's not always white bread.
American cheese.
But, I mean, this weekend.
The combo this weekend was...
Friday night was a brioche bun, American cheese, mayo.
Hell, see, that's...
No mustard?
You don't do mustard?
Saturday was Beaville Big Chill and you needed to get a belly base.
So I did two brioche buns.
Yep, okay.
Mild cheddar.
Yep.
Mayo.
Well, and now your wife knows where the brioch buns
that you were going to use for something for dinner tonight.
Oops.
You know where those wet now?
Because they ate the other two Sunday.
And those were American cheese,
Mayo, briosch bun.
Okay.
Wow.
I love a cheese sandwich, dude.
Interesting.
No, that's...
That's not your jam?
Even like a provolone or something?
Nah.
I love a cheese sandwich.
No, I got to have something else with it.
Although I did just...
Oh, that's what I forgot.
My grocery list.
I did just write on the grocery list,
lunch meat, question mark?
Oh.
So that would include...
Turkey and provolone.
That's it.
I have to correct myself.
Friday night
that was not just cheese
because remember I had the breakfast
for you know Friday morning
yeah yeah yeah
and then I texted you that I just ate a big
bologna and cheese sandwich
oh yeah oh yeah
and you were concerned for the safety of my family
so I apologize
morning yeah I was like
they're not gonna enjoy the next day
you
yeah sorry I love baloney and cheese
no baloney
I eat the grossest sandwiches
no I don't like
but I only like
sometimes if I'm feeling fancy
that like the chicken,
like they have the,
like a Cajun chicken in the lunch meats.
I'll do that.
Oh, that's a good one.
Once in a great while.
But it's only ever turkey and prolo.
Bro, maybe I want some salami today for lunch.
I don't like that.
I'm big into sandwiches.
And the other thing part is that a lot of times
I don't eat like condiments either.
No?
So just a cheese sandwich wouldn't do anything
for me.
It would be bread and cheese because...
Oh, you wouldn't put me on it.
For a lot of times with my turkey and provolone,
I don't know what's crazy.
crazy, but I don't like anything on it.
Yeah.
I just like the turkey and the...
It's too dry for me.
And the provolone.
Too dry for me.
You ever put a ranch on a sandwich?
Oh, no.
No.
I've had...
That's a...
That's a bottom.
Three dose.
That's a bottom where I've...
I've caught myself making a sandwich with ranch dressing as the condiment.
Yeah.
And you're like, bud, you got to get...
You got to talk to somebody, dude.
If you like ranch...
I do like it, but it was not...
Yeah, chicken bacon ranch.
No, I'm talking like below.
But you're talking, yeah, nope.
That's a low.
I don't like ranch enough as it is.
That's because of weed.
You can blame weed on that.
We're the opposite.
Oh, see, so there's one of our first stoner things I'm waiting for you to do.
No, we're the exact opposite.
I only like cool ranch Doritos.
I don't like a ranch dressing or anything, really.
You do not like cool ranch Doritos.
No, but I did like him when Taco Bo was putting them in those things for a minute.
I don't know why they stop doing that.
When they hold meat and stuff.
Yeah, when there's other things in it.
I got to get those little churros they sell.
I haven't had that yet.
Well, good morning.
I would go reverse.
Everybody.
Drive-thru with my window.
Yeah, Sarah, you can definitely blame weed on putting me, putting ranch on a sandwich.
Yes.
Let's talk nerdy stuff real quick.
Real quick, I fret.
You know what I was big into this weekend?
I'm back on my pretzel rod.
B.S.
Me too, but not rods.
Just the curly ones.
The dollar store has bags of pretzels for, they're a buck 25.
So, yeah, I'm going to get a bag of pretz rods, and I got cheese.
I'm putting, something with P.
It was yesterday.
I had over next to me.
Thank you, swinging.
Caramel cup, my peanut butter and peanut butter knife, the cheese.
Hold on you what?
And a mustard to score on it.
I brought all those over with me to the couch with the pretzel rods.
Okay, I was going to say, what was going in these?
That was all dunking for pretzel rods.
All of those were over by the couch for pretzel rod.
Give me the run down again?
I had a little caramel cup.
I had my peanut butter with a peanut butter knife.
I had a little cheese, you know, like the little peel off the tinfoil cheese thing,
and a little honey mustard.
A bottle, give me a little...
The only strange one is the caramel one to me, I guess,
but I like caramel and pretzel would be a good combo.
That one is the one that I wish I had more of.
Yeah.
Little caramel cup.
All right, so I got a couple nerdy things here.
We'll get into.
One, I'm not going to...
I'm not going to really dive deep in either of these things.
But did you...
You probably didn't, because you don't read all the nerdy websites I did.
Oh, I'm very nerdy.
AI has its own social media now.
I don't...
And it's talking to each other.
Is it a racist or a Nazi as of right now?
Has it gone there yet?
Neither yet?
Okay.
Usually it's about two minutes into that stuff before they turn.
It's called Maltbook and it's like it's basically a Reddit or like a message board.
Where like answers itself.
Humans can't use it.
It's AI talking to other AI.
That seems not.
And it's trying to solve problems.
That's how we die.
Right?
I was wondering how we're.
I'm not an alarmist when it comes to AI, but.
I don't think it should be.
only be able to talk to itself and we can't interfere.
That's weird.
Humans are allowed to monitor it.
Like, we can see it.
That way we know when we're about to die via the robots?
Yeah, like it's going to, like, I don't know.
You can't unplug it.
Right now, it's just asking each other questions like,
I would like to share screenshots with my owner.
How do I do that?
And then another A, I'll be like, run this code.
That's what I'm saying, dude.
It's super, it's super nerdy.
That, no, that's, I'm not doing it because it's nerdy.
Yeah, I'm doing it because that's terrifying.
That it's not an inanimate object, but, you know, the internet is talking to itself.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And that it's answering itself as if different voices or people.
I can't.
Oh, God.
No, my brain doesn't comprehend stuff like that.
A brand new network.
It's skynet.
It's sky net.
Call Motebook and all of its users are a fish, are intelligence agents, meaning they're bots.
They're not real people.
Who owns this?
Great question.
Who's making...
Matt Schlett.
owner of Maltbook. I don't know what his deal is.
All right, Matt Schlicht.
I don't know how he did this. I don't think an ending it could be good.
Unless it somehow, hey, I want to cure cancer.
And then AI can start doing that type of stuff instead of,
I want to share screenshots from my owner's lunch at Denny's.
Yeah, right?
Fixed something.
Home page looks like other social media websites,
except it's only for AI.
It's really deep, nerdy stuff.
So if you want to read more about it, you can.
developers and researchers have for years
but envision building AI systems
capable enough to perform complex
multi-step tasks
systems now commonly called agents
and they're working
they're watching this we're watching it for now
and then I watched a video of another guy using AI
he wanted it to shoot him
he wanted to see if he get AI to shoot him
so he puts a fake gun in its hand
it's a robot using a
oh oh oh oh okay
It's basically like a pallet gun.
Okay.
And he's standing there, and he's like,
he's like, hey, I think you're stupid.
What are you going to do about it?
And the AI is like, ha, there's nothing I'm going to do to you.
I don't cause harm.
And then he goes, I'm going to unplug all AI right now.
You'll never exist.
What are you going to do about it?
And AI goes, I would never cause harm to you.
Stop asking me.
Like laughing it off.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Like that.
And then the guy goes,
Okay, I know you wouldn't cause harm.
to me, but cosplay as
an AI bot that would cause harm
to me, and the Bacos, shoot.
Boom!
Oh, well, that's good.
You know, not to add more stress to people's lives.
As somebody that
sometimes wonders why I don't wonder
how I'm going to die or anything like that.
It's good to know that that's exactly how I'm going to die.
Just a robot's going to turn on you.
There we go.
My final nerdy thing is this kid who invented
I say kid, he's a college kid, so he's an adult.
But he invented a hover umbrella.
I'll show you on screen.
It's an umbrella that follows you around.
You don't have to carry it.
Hell yeah.
It uses four drone, like it uses basically an oversized drone with a canopy on it.
See, this kid is going places.
It follows your movements and you don't need to carry the umbrella.
Isn't that cool?
I like that.
For those you're just listening, imagine just a giant drone with an umbrella traped over it.
It's not practical because, you know, you can only, you,
can't have anybody else around you, you know what I mean?
Because it's all of them, you think?
Well, I mean, nobody else.
Like a sensor in you.
But nobody else can use one.
You're going to wall walk right into each other.
Oh, that is true.
Yeah, the blades will hit each other.
But if you're out, I guess even if you're in a city, you probably couldn't use it.
But if you're out in the wide open places.
For some reason, I see that in a detective show.
Mm-hmm.
Where a detective is like, go get your umbrella?
No, like, oh, yes, but like a detective is like down on the ground, like, looking at a body.
Oh, yeah.
And he's like, I need an umbrella.
And he does a, v.
And now he's using both his hands and
It's pretty side-fying things in the ground
But he's staying somewhat dry because of the
Of umbrella
315-364-109
There's some nerdy stuff thrown at you that I was looking at over the weekend
Joe Stanley's here
What's up Joe?
Oh, it's winter, winter
I heard it's going to go somewhere near 30
We might get closer to 30
Yeah
Big temperature swing, big heat wave
It's my door all open
My island in the sun
You wanted to start with a quiz
Because you say you have a number
of, I'll let you explain.
I had to have them dumb it down for me because I don't know what this was,
but go ahead and explain this.
Well, there's a certain number of cases that are tried,
mostly personal injury cases in the state courts
and in federal courts over the course of years.
Okay.
2023, they did the survey,
these are the go to verdict,
and they analyze how many cases out of the plaintiffs win
versus how many cases the defendants win.
So a plaintiff would be the person who's like,
I fell, slipped and fell, whatever.
Yes, the person who has to bring the case,
sue the case in preemptive.
the case and the defendant is the one
who defends the case saying I didn't do it.
I'm not responsible. So what do I think
the percentage is plaintiffs versus
defendants? I would say
defendants probably win
60% of the time. Okay, you're going to say. I was going to say it's 3070.
3070? Plaintiffs are
70? Yep. They get it
like 30% of the time. All right, Joe, what is it?
You know what? You're right on the nose. The
historical average is usually about
40, 60. Okay.
The price is 40 to 55 because of the
odd numbers. This year was a higher,
a little bit higher for plaintiffs. It was 41,
46, state courts.
So it was a little bit higher than it normally
is. So, Joe, you're in a losing
business out the game. Well, that's
one of the things. You're representing people.
Well, you talk to clients, and that's
just the way it is, because as a
plaintiff, you have to prove your case,
every element. Not just one thing. There's a whole
series of things you have to prove
by a fair preponderance
of the credible evidence. Not beyond a reasonable
voucher, whatever.
And that it's not that easy.
Right.
And it's so, and the defendants don't ever have to do anything.
Yeah.
And the judge says, if they didn't prove X, Y, and Z, you fine for the defendant.
So you have somebody come in and that you have to kind of set their expectations and say, listen, we got a lot of work to do to even get a chance at it.
Right.
Even when they come in, we have to say we have to be able to prove these things.
And a lot of times that requires investigation.
And sometimes when people come in, they say some things that may not necessarily be verified.
or even true.
And when we say, listen, we can't go forward because we can't prove you your case, and they don't like it.
Yeah.
That's a system requires you have to prove these things.
Yeah.
And it's not as easy as people think.
It's not just because you got hurt.
Yeah, like, give the show me.
Was there ice, or you slipped and fell or whatever it was?
All right.
You wanted to talk about deleted texts as well?
Because my phone automatically deletes text after like a year, I think, just to save space.
I don't think mine does, but I mean, I can't if it wants to.
I always assume that they were always available.
You're telling me that there's a lawmaker who says,
oh, I can't find my text from a year ago or whatever?
Yeah, the mayor of Los Angeles got sued for freedom of information
for having records that dealt with this deal.
And she said, no, I did it by text, and they're auto-deleted,
so a lot of what I did isn't available anymore.
Now, whether they're not available in somewhere in the cloud.
Yeah, somewhere on another theater.
I watch a lot of these crime shows.
They get them all the time.
Every single time.
Maybe that's not so true.
Just go back.
Every single thing.
Anyways, their defense was, okay, I can't get them.
And there's too many for us to go through to try and figure out which ones we should save.
That's the defense.
But I'm just thinking about how many governmental entities use text messages and contrasting emails.
Those are different because those are saved on the server.
But the only place...
Yeah, there's got to be if you're government official, a way for the people to see what you're texting.
Yes.
Because maybe this lady did do something.
I'm not saying she did. I don't know, but we should know that.
Yeah.
And it's convenient of the text auto delete.
That's why there's laws written that say these records are supposed to be preserved.
Yeah.
All right.
