No, regret is Nebraska. There's a lot of wind in both our states, and I have to admit that I've been unable to determine if Nebraska sucks or the Dakotas blow.
You forgot California's state aroma - Wildfire. And the 1 woman on Phil's circle is clearly the one actually doing all the organizing and med management.
Anyone who's ever lived in New Mexico will know exactly what the state aroma is and have fond memories of driving by the grocery store during chili harvesting season when the roasters are tumbling and the smell of fresh roasted Hatch Green Chili just wafts in the air… It's enchanting.
It's not just Hatch chile. The peppers are grown all over the state and come in several varieties. Hatch just did the best job of marketing and exporting their chile. But roasting chile is a delicious aroma!
Growing up in Minnesota, I always wondered why people made such a big deal out of it, since we're lucky to get all the snow out of the treelines by May.
I'm a Pennsylvanian whose birthday is February 2nd, so when I was a kid my mom and I would go outside and look for my shadow every year on my birthday. It was a fun little tradition for us.
LOL. I missed this live and had to watch it on UA-cam. Was having a nice Margarita on Friday evening and then spit it all over my computer screen laughing so hard at the ground hog day bit. Thanks Mr Coblbert, you really are my favorite late night show. But not just this night.
Meanwhile, Quebec's version of Phil made his prediction...and promptly died! How terrible is Quebec's winter going to be that getting a psychic glimpse of it kills you!?
America legalized "Marihuana" to defeat the Nazis. There are so many more important things than George Santos, but your God-damned television won't tell you about them.

This should bother all of you, but you don't care. You just want to be entertained.
Actually, congratulations to the writers for doing an entire Groundhog Day routine without mentioning the Bill Murray movie. Although we were all thinking about it at least once.
It’s actually fairly common for groundhogs to die over the winter in their hibernation. They don’t discover they are dead until they go to get them out for the ceremony.
@@Kal-EL_Volta Sometimes their burrows are corrupted in some manner and they freeze or they could not find enough food to store in their bodies during the pre-winter and they starve while hibernating.
@@rebeccalyle8443 Naw, he's doing the whole "democratic" whirled a favour, showing what it takes to be a politician. Like choose between his constant lying & the rest of the impoliticians with their consistent specific lying.
The origin of the groundhog thing was Pennsylvania Dutch. If the groundhog sees his shadow, 6 more weeks of winter. Which was good news to people, because, as an Ohioan, winter can go on and on.
I am from New Mexico. Born and raised. And I gotta say. Naming the official state aroma as roasting Chile makes perfect sense. It is universally loved and everyone looks forward to Chile roasting season. It literally wafts across entire towns. It's something of a unifying experience that is undescribable. You have to experience a roast for yourself to understand. But to put it in perspective.

No one has quite captured it yet but I guarantee the first person to capture it will have an easy time selling a shit load of candles It's so universally loved that even a fifth grader already knows how hard it slaps.

Moved to New Mexico in 1994. Now I've come to love the smell of roasting green chilis wafting over from the huge roasting bins in most grocery store parking lots every August. It's a thing.
I just watched Groundhog Day (the movie) for the first time. I gotta say, I miss those old movies. The pacing was slow enough to enjoy it. Everything's paced so fast to cover a lot of ground these days
Awwww, thank you Stephen for mentionning Quebec and our marmotte! Like a popular public figure here (Patrick Lagacé) said: we should name one of our huge hydro electric dams after him! I'm glad your marmotte is going good since I have the same name!
Hey man! I’m from New Mexico and the smell of hatch green chilies roasting outdoors in the Fall is the greatest thing ever. You gotta come out here, Stephen, and try that smell for yourself.
39% of the time, Prexdelepzikorticus (of COURSE I don't remember how to even pronounce, let alone SPELL his plantation-ass fucking name) is right ALL of the time
It's always nice to see Oregon be included, and that the rest of the country hasn't forgotten about us 😝 (And also people pronounce it correctly! Good on ya', Steven!). Can confirm, "wet hippie" is pretty appropriate. 🤣Around here, we joke that umbrellas are for the weak - it's raincoats only, and you're not a true Oregonian if you can't take a little rain. (Of course I still do like my umbrella, but I guess maybe you can blame it on the fact that I was born in New York and was raised by New York and South Dakota/Alabama-raised parents 🤣I grew up in Oregon though!)
The official state smell of Utah is either Mormon Bookstore or that fish that fell out of the plastic bag in your trunk the last time you went fishing.
That's actually the 'medicine' they refer to in that article, according to his handlers P. Phil gets an 'elixir of life' that has kept him young... but sometimes drastically changes is appearance from photo op to photo op.
It was so refreshing to see this side of Stevens comic talent again…felt more lose and alive, was a lot more funny monologue than when he is doing political satire. Loved the Brooklyn accent part, the booing of the Canadian ground hog kid, the occasional swearing - please give us more of this side of you huge talent 🤘
During the fall In New Mexico after the chili crop is in people buy bundled Chili Pepper Ristras people outside of stores roast the ristra for people wanting roasted chili peppers. There is so much roasting going on you do indeed get the wonderful aroma of roasting chili peppers wafting everywhere.
America legalized weed to fight the Nazis. Watch the 14-minute 1942 USDA film, *Hemp for Victory.* Hippies were actually correct when they said that weed would save the world. They just didn't know that it already had.
Daniel Gehring, the patchouli reels up there with skunk. When I was young, working as waitress, a customer wearing patchouli cleared out an entire restaurant in five minutes. Unfortunately I couldn't leave too and thank heavens not all hippies wear it
Knowing that groundhog Phil has a retinue of helpers and handlers that care for him and have awesome nicknames makes me so happy. It’s s silly tradition, but that only makes me love it more.
I guess it's Phil's fault that we've been having the warmest winter in memory in Boston but after his antics, we got an Arctic blast coming here tomorrow, with temps below zero.
I still find it hilarious that millions of humans, once a year, focus all their attention on this once groundhog. It's to the point where I don't think it's his shadow, it's that he comes outside one morning and ALL THE HUMANS ARE THERE STARING AT HIM. I'd go back inside too.
Your willing to make a joke about a groundhog while a Chinese balloon survives American airports.. and you remain ignorant under the ruse of comedy from a Chinese agent 😂 It’s a mental disorder at this point
America legalized weed to win World War II. We could stop climate change if people paid as much attention to the 1942 USDA film *Hemp for Victory* as they do to this groundhog.
Steve could play the mob's accountant. Who has a scandalous affair and to keep the floozie quiet he diverts money from the Don's private account. Then gets a free boat ride.
The tradition has origins in Europe including Germany where the shadow being present might mean a prolonged winter. I once spent 5 days in London (Autumn admittedly) and all days had brilliant clear skies and sunshine...and the first frosts.
Doesn't winter officially end in about 6 weeks, anyway? And how does one define the end of winter, otherwise? Here in Colorado, we usually get most of our snow (along the Front Range) in March and April. It doesn't last long, but it can be deep.
Definitely should have referred to Phil’s inner circle as the “Philuminati.”

I cannot express how much I love whoever's writing the dark humor for this show. The "...icy hand of death." was also fantastic.
Good on George Santos, the man who invented the question mark.
Dude's so afraid of his shadow that it affects the weather... of course he's on anxiety meds!
There is always 6 more weeks of winter on Feb 2nd since officially winter ends March 20th.
Growing up in Minnesota, I always wondered why people made such a big deal out of it, since we're lucky to get all the snow out of the treelines by May.
