The North Face vs. The South Butt
The North Face has sued a company having some fun selling a line of clothes called The South Butt. Phil chimes in on the lawsuit during today's show. There's also news about GM offering WiFi on the fly now in some of its vehicles. Phil calls out the guy who wrote the news release about it after reading a crazy-stupid line in the release. And what was your most memorable Christmas present as a kid? After hearing the president and first lady answer the question, Phil takes the #18 bus down memory lane to Gimbles/Shuster's to tell you his answer to that question.

Radio Bloopers on the PhilCast
Friday's PhilCast starts with Phil's recap of how he survived his wife's bookclub at the house the night before. Then there's some bad news about a whooping crane being shot dead. "Stories of the Strange" as usual on a Friday. And on this week's "Flashback Friday" Phil plays some radio bloopers from the past. He's not naming names but you may hear some familiar old voices. Phil's laughing so hard at the end of all this that he's choking for air on the show!

"Slushmageddon '09"
The biggest snowstorm of the winter kinda missed the headquarters of the PhilCast. However, there was plenty of mess on the ground for Phil to chronicle his morning snow blow. But some people had it lot worse, like Phil's PhilCast intern who took a spin on slick roads.

Would you rather suffer through a December of sub-zero temperatures and blizzards or a first-round playoff loss at the hands of Brett Favre?
I'll take the Ice Age and a Packers win.
I'd rather see the Packers lose to Favre so I can stay warm.
This is like choosing the least painful way to die.
