The week of Ground Hog Day is an opportune time to visit Jefferson County, Pennsylvania. Punxatawney, Brookville, and the rest of the region have lots of natural wonder, ties to history, and at least two major sports figures who made claims to fame in their careers. Find out about Cook Forest and Clear Creek State Park, Sparky Lyle and Chuck Daly, and the unique history of a site called Scripture Rocks. Our "Hometowns" series gives you a radio-tour of the communities which make up the Family Life listening area in Pennsylvania and New York.  Your tour guide is Family Life news anchor Mark Webster.

50 Years Ago Today Today's topics include: The Kent State Shootings, May 4, 1970. Nixon was President. The US had invaded Cambodia. And American college campuses were ablaze with opposition to the War in Vietnam. At the end of the day, 4 Kent State students were dead after a confrontation with members of the National Guard. John recalls his memories of that fateful day. Next, Joe Kilmer (News Director at WPXZ in Punxatawney) joins the show to talk about the shutdown in Jefferson County even though only six cases of the Coronavirus have been confirmed county-wide. And finally, the conversation turns to sports as the Barron Report’s Jay Marriotti (a former columnist with the Chicago Sun Times) tips off with John to discuss his criticisms of the wildly popular ESPN Michael Jordan documentary, “The Last Dance”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, we wade around in the never-ending nightmare that is Punxatawney, PA with Bill Murray and Sarah’s dad Pat as special guest! This may not seem like a typical rom-com, but Justin makes a strong case. Sarah gets pretty deeply into the philosophical themes of this movie, Pat does his Dean Martin impression, and we discuss Justin’s chances at a bachelor auction (spoiler: not great).

We’ve been staring into the abyss for an entire month now. And the Abyss’s goofy ass rodent face is staring us right back. Daniel has aged 20 years in a night. Nathan introduces us to Roose Sprongstern, and gives a brief history of the city of Punxatawney. AJ talks about how to prepare the Groundhog for the feast. We talk sugar dispensers. The bumper stickers are making us crazy. God can’t build a gazebo so big he can’t host a party in it. Jesus was the original crime fighting wrestler. Bea Arthur can get it.

The guys take the Lounge-Mobile and head to Punxatawney, PA for this year's Ground Hog Day festivities.

This week we revisit a day with Bill Murray, again, and again, and again.
