phil and rita arrive at the cherry street inn, rita most definitely is not easily amazed, but phil's room is lovely... even if he is problematic in #groundhogday minute 53.

the (staged?) snowball fight ends, phil and rita dance then go for a long walk in #groundhogday minute 52, and i'm sidetracked by the names of characters who aren't even in this minute, by lighting, and by a whole other podcast i did several years ago--mandy sucks minute.

phil recovers from his french mistake and finds himself in a snowball fight in #groundhogday minute 51, and i get bogged down in time loop math truthers and misplaced location markers.

phil makes an ass of himself on his date with rita and we don't quite get to him trying to fix it in #groundhogday minute 50.

Phil manipulates and memorizes his way through date night with rita and i get distracted by imdb goofs and chaos theory in #groundhogday minute 49.

phil orders rita's favorite drink and rita sets a trap for phil in #groundhogday minute 48.

from sure thing to 12:01, cause and effect to shadow play, maybe #groundhogday isn't all that original, but phil don't care; he's got not-so-great drinks to drink to impress rita in minute 47,

rita describes her perfect guy, phil checks off the details, but can he really change these things about himself while inside a time loop? what can you change in a time loop? it's #groundhogday minute 46.
