It's the Brian Laird Show on WNYC.

Good morning again, everyone.

And again, this membership drive, we are doing a 10-question quiz each day.

We'll have a different theme each day, get two in a row

right, and you'll win a Brian Laird show mug or a Brian Laird show baseball cap, your choice. And again,

with apologies for the last minute switchup, we'll do the broadcast news history quiz on Friday. Today, it's February holidays,

because there are so many holidays in the month of February. And we're going to start with Tom

in the East Village, who's ready to play. Hey, Tom, sorry to switch it up on you. I know you were

on hold for the broadcast news quiz, but ready to give February holidays a shot?

Well, thank you, Brian. I did all my studying on broadcast news, but I'm ready for February now.

That's right. You did a quick history crawl during the three-minute newscast, right?

All right. We're going to start off, of course, with Groundhogs Day, which is on February 2nd.

What's the name of the Groundhog that New York City uses to predict whether there will be six

more weeks of winter? Oh, what's that guy? Staten Island Chuck? That is correct. And there's been a

succession of actual Groundhogs to go by Staten Island Chuck.

But that's what we say, like Punks of Taunty Phil for whatever creature in that part of Pennsylvania in a given year.

So that's one.

One more, and you can choose between a hat and a mug.

Question two.

Staten Island Chuck has had two mishaps with mayors when they did their February 2nd photo ops.

Can you say what happened in either one of those cases?

Yeah, he bit somebody.
