Ep. 510: Where we beat up Punxsutawney Phil and smash his freaking cell phone
Created: 02/02/2010
Video description: 2010 started off on a positive note: an amazing CES visit, an uplifting State of the Union Address, and an entertaining Grammy Award show. Yes, 'twas a great January...too bad that filthy, overgrown rat Punxsutawney Phil had to show up and ruin it with a dreary six more weeks of winter, which wouldn't be so bad except that Wilson won't have his iPad for another nine weeks.
