I'm not going to part in my tape presented by draft kings the crown is yours today is friday february 20th and The indiana bears look like they might be a little bit closer, huh? Listen, I think that if you're gonna do indiana bears the wolf lake bears sounds like an incredible name Well, there's also a bear lake right there too. There's Wolf Bear Lake. Yeah, so if I actually don't wanna talk about this for super long because it is mind-numbingly annoying. Do you like terrible, do you like local government conversations? Yeah, it's local government. It's billionaires not paying for own fucking stadium. It's the NFL wanting everything, wanting their cake and eating it too. It's the fans getting screwed over. It's just the world we live in. So yeah, the Indiana has voted to go forward with taking the bears, having the bears, holding the bears in Hammond. While it doesn't actually mean anything, because I still think they're going to be in Arlington Heights. It is the closest they've ever been to potentially finding a place. But again, it's not even anything. Kevin Warren is an absolute failure in the fact that the last four years, his only job was to find a stadium and he has released countless open letters and we have chairs. Yeah, we picked out a chair for the sweets. Yeah, he did that. He basically did a Nathan for you episode on Hard Knocks where he's like, hey, here, cameras, come watch me, pretend to be a president who's picking out chairs for the new stadium that's never gonna get built. I don't want them to move the Indiana partially because I think they should be in Arlington Heights. I think it should stay at Soldier Field one.

And two, it will really piss me off

if we lost the horse track for no reason. Yeah, so I think that just every NFL team should threaten to move to Indiana. Yeah. It could be the state that has like, we could get the bangles there. If the bangles want to move there, we could get the bears there. We could shit the Titans. that stadium doesn't go well, bring back the Rams,

we just put it in like Southwest Indiana.

Yeah, I like this.

Yeah, just every team.

It's Indiana. It's basically the bubble. Yeah, listen in 49 other states. It's football in Indiana It's it's it's every football. It's serious business. It's all the football. Yeah, I've been trying to get into stosism The idea that you control what you can control and if you can control something, you shouldn't give it the energy that in your day, it'll spike your cortisol. Right, there's just no reason to, things that are out of your control, giving it energy in time will just wipe you out. If you can control something, if you can change something, if you can't have a direct impact on something, give it you're all. This is firmly in the camp of something I cannot control.

So I will not be giving it much time or energy because the whole thing just pisses me off.

And it's like, hey, guess what?

I can't change anything.

I can't do anything.

It's stupid government officials arguing with each other and people in the Bears playing

Indian averse Illinois and Illinois being like sleeping and being like, no way will they ever leave.

And guess what? They might call, the bears might call their bluff. They might be the Indiana bears. You're right, you can't really do anything about it, but I would say that you can do more than 99.999, 99% of the population. You could lay down on the highway, start a block here. Don't let any traffic into Indiana. If they, if they move to Indiana, but then say, Hey,

Arlington Heights is going to come, come're going to get the racetrack back. I would be at least, it would soften the blow. We did lose the racetrack for no reason at this point. There were supposed to be shovels in the ground years ago. Does the Mars cheese castle, does that have any land in around it that could be used for a stadium? We moved to Wisconsin. That would be bad. Yeah, that would be the funniest guy. I mean, I will got in the mix for a minute. Move to the cheese guy.

What was like, hey? land in and around it's like be used for a stadium. I if we moved to Wisconsin that would be bad.

Yeah, that'd be the funny.

I mean, I will got in the mix for a minute.

Move to the cheesecake.
