“A holiday of debatable quality.”

It’s chonky, furry, and oh so cute! The creature slowly creeps out of its burrow, looking around for his shadow. Good news! It doesn’t see it. The weather will be hot for the forseeable future. Bad news… well, we’re also surrounded by fire and brimstone. Welcome to Groundhog Day in Hell.

Chris Demarais and Blaine Gibson, co-hosts of the hilarious Good Morning from Hell podcast join us for some devilishly fun puzzles.  Good Morning from Hell is a weekly podcast starring Blaine as Clayton, the younger brother of Satan, and Chris as himself. Every week, Chris and Clayton interview someone from Hell. This show is off-the-rails funny.

Today’s topic is Groundhog Day, and we explore the origins and bizarre story behind this annual weather predicting tradition. Today’s game is called Cloudy with a Chance of Puzzles, where the guests must figure out these weather related idioms.

If you want to check out Chris and Blaine’s podcasts, look for Good Morning from Hell or their actual play D&D podcast Tales from the Stinky Dragon.

For his docu-series A Simple Walk Into Mordor, he walked hundreds of miles across New Zealand to climb an active volcano. On his hidden-camera show Social Disorder, he brought a human-sized doll to his 10-year high school reunion and proposed to her (she said no).

He’s written for film, television, and internet powerhouse Rooster Teeth, and has directed or appeared in some of the most-watched and influential web series of all time. Today, he runs two studios and produces and hosts hit podcasts and animations with his friends, including the chart-topping Tales from the Stinky Dragon and the long-running cult sensation Good Morning From Hell.
