Groundhog Day Boya everyone out there is. just like saying things like booya right. now this is but cuz they're so pumped up. I've known you for quite a while and. I've never known that Groundhog Day is. your favorite holiday well I to me I. just decided I'm just going to say it.

wasn't before today this seems like a. bit of sensationalism it seems like. you're like all right we're going to. talk about groundhog day so I'm going to. make it seem like it's my favorite. holiday I'm just being honest Groundhog. Day only the only holiday related to. prognostication associated with the. weather I love the weather man you know. that about me you wanted to use that. word that's what no it's a weather when. I you know when I was young what I. wanted to be when I grew up weather man. a weather man well weather woman. actually but that didn't work out so no.

have you seen the weather women here in. Los Angeles I tried not to see them. let's not go there the weatherman that's. what I wanted to be you not a. meteorologist Bob dardan he was the wrl. guy that was his name I like wow that's. a great name I want to do that love that. and then I decided to do other things. pursue other paths that have led me to. this but still in my heart of hearts I'm. a weatherman okay weatherman what's the. deal with the groundhog day well. Groundhog Day it it originated in the. 18th century Pennsylvania the Germans up. there in Pennsylvania the yeah they were.

drawing on let's see I got some notes. Here the sacred Badger or bear was a. prognosticator uh precursor to the. groundhog back in Germany I guess so. when they came to Pennsylvania they used. groundhogs that when they when it came. up on a certain day which is tomorrow or. today if you're watching it tomorrow if. it sees it Shadow it's six more I don't. even have the facts St six more weeks of. and that's why it's your favorite. holiday six what is it because you don't. even know what it means.

see what I'm talking about if it emerges. from its burrow spring will come early. if it sees its shadow but if it doesn't. it will not yeah six more weeks of. winter so it's it's it's this irony. associated with if you see a shadow the. weather's going to be good no weather's. not going to be good boy what is it. here's here's listen I don't really I. just decided yesterday that was my. favorite care about the significance. listen I want to talk about the best. part about Groundhog Day and that is.

Bill Murray's movie Groundhog Day where. he keeps reliving the same day over and. over and over again with slight little. differences that's when I think about. ground Hall day I think about the movie. and that makes me happy I know what if. you see it Shadow it's going to be. winter longer which is ironic because. you can't see your Shadow unless there's. Sun that's all that I'm saying is that. it's ironic it's related weather it's my. favorite have I said it's my favorite. yeah let's yeah good for you all right. let's pull up the wheel let's end this.

Germany back even before that they would. do this thing with a was it with a.

sacred bear or Badger would would. prognosticate the weather but then over. here they would look at a groundhog a. groundhog it will come up out of the. ground and then if it saw it Shadow it. meant I always get this mixed up if it. saw it Shadow this is your favorite. holiday six more days of yeah well I'm. just learning though you know it's a. process six more days six more weeks six. more weeks of winter but expert if it. doesn't see its shadow it's going to. it's going to it's going to it's going.

from Los Angeles Good Mythical. [Music]. Morning Good Mythical Morning today's. episode is brought to you by the r Link. store where you can get merch like this. shirt good mythical morning everybody I. am excited today now I know there are. many times in the past that I say I am. excited but and and that's for real but. even more real is this time that I'm.

excited there's legitimate excitement. happening in my person right now because. tomorrow is my favorite holiday and if. you were looking at the video teaser. earlier or the title or any of that. stuff that I might mention then you. might know that it's Groundhog Day and. if you're watching this tomorrow then. you're watching it on Groundhog Day so. that's even better booah the people are. celebrating at home they feel the. excitement that I feel and with this. being my favorite holiday the the whole. thing is just honest in my opinion.

because you know how long I've known you. in 30 years or whatever yes I do up. until right now the day before Groundhog. Day I did not know that Groundhog Day is. your favorite holiday it I just made it. my favorite holiday just as like. yesterday I decided in my mind this is. Sensational I mean have you ever had a. favorite color you want the people at. home changed to get excited about this. just because you want them to think oh. he cares about it I'm going to care. about it see it just seems dishonest. you're calling me a liar in this. instance yes def okay well you you've.

known me for how many years about 30. okay well then what did I want to be. when I grew up before I grew up a. weather woman a weather man uh WR Bob. debard you remember I wanted to be that. man wasn't a meteorologist I did like. Bob weather man the groundhog day is the. only holiday based on the. prognostication of weather you just. wanted to be able to use that word no I. wanted to I've already said that part so. let's just move forward never mind that. didn't even make sense don't worry about. it I wanted to be a weatherman that's.

all I'm saying man this is my favorite. okay well tell me about Groundhog Day. then in the 18th century Germans who. were in Pennsylvania decided to the. Amish no not the Amish I don't think. could have been maybe anyway they had. this thing that they used to do over. there in Germany where they would have. what was it a sacred bear or Badger. would prognosticate the weather well. they brought that over they use. groundhogs when the groundhog would come. up out of the hole if it saw it Shadow. it meant six more weeks of winter but if.

it didn't see its shadow it meant boom. we're going right into spring it's. coming early Spring's coming early cause. to celebrate it's happening so you do. know a little bit about this I know I. know a lot about it I know everything. about it do you know that groundhogs can. whistle and then when they're when. they're trying to attract a mate they. whistle get out of here you know what it. sounds like uh-uh you can't whistle can. you no that sounds like you're calling a. puppy that's where we that's where we. get that whenever you see a good-look.

woman you say that happened because of. the Germans in Pennsylvania goers no. groundhogs ground groundhogs yeah they. well a groundhog is a gopher no if a man. saw a woman and wanted to whistle to. communicate that they were pretty they. wouldn't know what to do if it weren't. for Groundhog Day I appreciate all your. facts that you're just reading from an. iPad but the thing that makes Groundhog. Day Groundhog Day is the movie Groundhog. Day Bill M's best movie ever you know. what I'm talking about oh. he keeps re he keeps reliving the same.

day over and over again that was. new I'm familiar with the movie well. spin the wheel. then what a while you mate I think it's. a. song and Snow. White oh link disciplines rat like a. child okay hey rat it's your brother. Bobby. [Laughter].
