Hello and I'm Alyssa Mastra Monica. I'm Ayran Ryan. And I'm Alyssa Mastra Monica.

Alyssa, we're recording on Groundhog Day,

so our listeners are going to hear this on the third or later.

But I was thinking about the movie Groundhog Day

and how, you know, in years past, I used to always watch it around this time of the year,

because it was really funny to imagine a day that just repeated itself over and over again.

Do you think that movie has kind of lost its mojo?

Yeah, there's nothing about wanting to relive days that is

appealing or entertaining in any way shape or form after the pandemic. Well you know

what else is funny is in that movie Bill Murray's character uses the

repeated days to try to improve himself and like I did nothing of the

sort like he's a better person than me this piece of shit character that is like

check out this jerk he's a better person than he is he is and he can have it you know he can have it

Yeah, and groundhogs are weird anyway, so I don't I think we should leave him alone they're like giant

rodents right do you remember when Bill de Blasio kept dropping the ground

dog didn't it die yeah and it was a lady groundhog oh myosh. That's what I woke up thinking about.

Why can't New York City elect a good mayor? Anyway, let's get to the show.

This week we're joined by Robin Givin, Grace Parra, and Kara Clank to tackle the following questions.

What are Washington's least serious people whining about now?

Which political figures are most and least fluent in the language of fashion?

How do we check in on each other?

And can tap dance heal what ails us?
