Podcast Movie Special: Groundhog Day

We cover Groundhog Day for our podcast movie special this week.  What a great film by Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, and Chris Elliot.  Not only is this a hilarious film but it has a really great message at the end.  Hopefully we can all become the type of people that are wiling to ask others around us: "Is there anything I can do for you today?".  If we can then not only us, but the world around us will be a better place.  Duration: 1h 59m 28s

Various topics discussed in this podcast include:
    Joey's Culture Corner: 12:01 the Movie
    Facebook Find of the Week: Listener Fishhead - Don't mess with flute practice
    Pete looks like Chris Elliot
    Being a Weatherman is hard work
