| 0:00.0 | If you thought you missed the big sale at Sullivan's, good news. |
| 0:03.6 | You didn't. |
| 0:04.4 | We're holding over the 20% savings on premium patio furniture for just one more weekend. |
| 0:10.7 | It's the best price of the year. |
| 0:12.9 | Sullivan Hardware & Garden. |
| 0:15.1 | Is it better to let the calendar kill a bill rather than force a half-baked idea through without real debate, which is better. |
| 0:24.2 | I think about this because it's like, okay, if the calendar, we just didn't have enough time, |
| 0:29.2 | it kind of signals you're not getting anything done. |
| 0:32.3 | Oh, that's for sure. |

| 1:21.2 | Another wasted year in the Indiana state legislature. We talked about it in 2025. They couldn't |
| 1:27.4 | get the official state sandwich through then. And here it is, 2026, and they still can't get the official state sandwich. So I did some research on this. Because I thought, well, because it seems silly and we have fun with it. I thought, man, it's a lighthearted bill. I was like, well, are we because that's what we need, lighthearted bills.
