Well, Casey, as we started our show today, it was a wild day yesterday at the Indiana Statehouse,

and I wasn't alone in my misery.

Yeah, 127 people signed up to give public testimony. You were one of them. You know,

who else was one of them? Our old pal, you know him from Saturday night on the circle,

Saturday night to 7 o'clock here at WIBC. Ethan Hatcher. He joins us now. Ethan Hatcher,

hello. Thanks for

having me in the studio, guys. Okay, so you made the misery of yesterday a little less miserable.

You and I paled around for a couple of hours as we waited to speak. I thought you did a

fantabulous job. I appreciate that, Rob. But you know, you picked the absolute worst spot for us

to stand in the crowd because we

were right in the path of where people were trying to squeeze through. I had folks bumping

against me every couple of minutes. We were all packed in there like sardines. And I'll tell you what,

those Democrats, stay. That room smelled awful. Body odor was wafting so thick you could cut it with a knife. Okay, so I know we laid out a little bit about what happened, but you're standing earlier, but you're standing in this hallway out front of the state house, the Senate chambers in the state house. Yeah. They've got these speakers, but they're like little baby speakers, so you can't hear anything. Yeah. And they're supposed to be putting people's names up on the screen because you can watch the thing.

But they're like little baby speakers, so you can't hear anything. Yeah. And they're supposed to be putting people's names up on the screen because you can watch the thing, but they're like two people behind. So you've got to keep asking the guy who's like the gatekeeper, and then he's getting annoyed everybody for asking. It was a complete dumpster fire. And so were many of the people. And either or not numerous times looked at each other and go, I hate that we're on the same side of these people.

Yeah.

Because they're nuts. Well, at one point I looked at you and I kind of mock tore up my speech. I'm like, you know what? I've changed from mine. I'm not sporting you people. Screw it. That was enough to do it. Well, we were questioning, you know, what would make someone change their mind?

Ethan, you did a good would make someone change their mind?

Ethan, you did a good job when you were speaking in front of the committee.

You were, as far as I can tell, the only person who got a compliment.
