Descriptions:
On Groundhog Day 2012, Opie and Anthony discuss the annual tradition live from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. The show features Rich Vos in studio discussing his comedy career, his podcast “My Wife Hates Me,” and various tangents including Romney’s controversial “very poor” comments, childhood death stories, teacher misconduct anecdotes, and a lengthy debate about gambling in Atlantic City. Dr. Steve from Weird Medicine calls in to deliver a darkly comedic best man speech, and the show wraps with Black History Month commentary.
