In a recent interview with Punxsutawney Phil’s ex wife Phyllis, who now lives in Arizona, the infamous ground hog known for predicting the end on winter is a compulsive liar. 'He'll say anything to get out of work,' she told our reporter.
Phyllis went on to say that the formal event of predicting the end of winter began in 1887 with Phil's Great, Great, Great Grandfather Phillip, who was known to be somewhat lackadaisical and shied away from work. And for 115 years, Phillip's decedents have been using the prediction of six more weeks of winter to get out of annual spring cleaning and other chores their wives would ask them to do.
In 2018, Phyllis had had enough and filed for divorce, shortly after moving to a private golf course in Arizona. 'It just got to be too much', she said. 'It became an addiction. First the end of winter, then he would predict local elections. Then national elections, which he got wrong, he predicted Biden. What's next… the Super Bowl? It got to the point', she continued, 'that he would spend his summers and falls stuffing himself and taking naps in the sun. He would eat about a pound of food per sitting. Then in the winter, he would just hibernate.'
Today, February 2nd, Punxsutawney Phil again saw his shadow and predicted six more weeks of winter. When asked what he plans to do now, Phil just said, 'I'm going back to bed.'
