MMM: Breakfast Bites - Hoosier Bears

Speaker0: A Miller Morning Moth House Breakfast Bite.

Speaker0: Small plates, big sarcasm.

Speaker2: So, for all our loyal listeners, we're brewing a new thing inspired by our advent calendar.

Speaker2: We're going to do some breakfast bites, which is just a small piece of our full

Speaker2: show, talking about random topics.

Speaker2: And there's nothing more random and current than the possibility of the Hammond Bears.

Speaker0: Yeah, Jen Pancake and I are also...

Speaker1: I came up with a meme in my mind while I was taking a shower today of,

Speaker1: like, how little I care about the bears, first of all.

Speaker1: But, like, also, like, but here's me wondering when anyone's going to give a

Speaker1: shit about these Nipsco bills in the politician world.

Speaker0: No, no. Why would we do that when we could get the bears? Are you kidding me? Why would we do that?

Speaker1: Now, this new bill that they want to pass where they're going to just put another

Speaker1: tax and have us pay for it.

Speaker0: Fuck you. Pay for the bears?

Speaker1: Fuck you, Indiana. Fuck you, Bears. Fuck everyone about all of it. Whoa.

Speaker0: Wow. That's a breakfast rant.

Speaker1: I don't want to pay to have them come here.

Speaker2: So go fuck yourself, Bears. Someone is earning the breakfast. Wow.

Speaker0: Rotten eggs over here.

Speaker1: Go fuck yourself, Bears. Stay where you are. Thanks.

Speaker0: All right.

Speaker2: That take is lightning hot.

Speaker0: Well, we don't need.

Speaker1: I am glad that no one's putting it in.

Speaker0: Here's the thing about the Bears. We don't need another thing that sucks here.

Speaker0: There's a lot of things that suck here. Plenty.

Speaker0: The Bears are good once every, I don't know, 40 years in my estimation.

Speaker2: It seems every 20 years they're good.

Speaker0: Yeah. Well, they're good enough to make the playoffs or something.

Speaker0: But the Super Bowl is once in my lifetime they've won.

Speaker0: Twice. I'm 53 years old. They've won once.

Speaker0: They are not a good football organization. They never have been.

Speaker0: The 70s were just brutal. They've had some great players. They are part of my growing up.

Speaker0: But fuck them. I am not going to pay to have them here. I don't care.

Speaker1: You are. In fact, if this bill passes.

Speaker0: Oh, because Indiana is open for business, according to Mike Braun.

Speaker1: Like a whore.

Speaker0: Mike Braun has his legs wide open. Oh, God.

Speaker1: He wants to take it. He wants to take it.

Speaker0: Take it right up the ass. He does.

Speaker0: I hope he does, too. Yeah, there's a lot more anger on this breakfast fight.

Speaker2: Wow, this is some spicy.

Speaker0: Wow. No, but it's a fantasy fucking thing.

Speaker2: I don't think it's going to happen.

Speaker0: Our mayor did a bunch of AI renderings, killed a bunch of trees and water. And there's no...

Speaker1: There's no different than any other politician, though, let's be fair.

Speaker0: All right. So there is no fucking chance that a women's flag football team is

Speaker0: going to move here, let alone the Chicago Bears.

Speaker0: We are in Gary and no slight on women's flag football.

Speaker0: I'm very excited about the sport.

Speaker0: But we would have a better chance of, God, like I don't even know,

Speaker0: of Michael Jackson coming back to life.

Speaker0: and then he's going to put all his efforts into helping Gary get better than

Speaker0: the fucking Chicago Bears moving here.

Speaker2: We can't plow the streets well and we're going to get the Bears.

Speaker0: There's potholes the size of Chevette on our street.

Speaker1: I was driving down Ridge Road the other day, Route 6, for those that grew up in Portage.

Speaker1: But there's just a big barrel in the middle of the road. But,

Speaker1: you know, like where the stop sign or the stoplight was functioning and it's

Speaker1: just a barrel with a stop sign on it.

Speaker2: Because the power went out?

Speaker1: Absolute chaos. And you can tell that barrel's been there for a long ass time.

Speaker0: Yeah. No one. There's no one from the city. Like.

Speaker1: I just thought, what in the world is anyone thinking? All you have to do is

Speaker1: just drive over here anywhere.

Speaker1: And I mean, whatever, man. I don't like.

Speaker0: We had like a couple functioning things.

Speaker1: If the state's willing to give you a million tax breaks and then pay for it

Speaker1: by just making the taxpayers pay for it, then I would maybe think about it.

Speaker0: What the.

Speaker2: Bears oh if you were the bears if you were the

Speaker0: Bears yeah but the governor.

Speaker1: The governor sorry not the mayor

Speaker0: I don't know if anybody here is that is here because i'm the only one that is

Speaker0: from illinois i lived there that is true my childhood was spent there until.

Speaker2: That mexican kids showed up.

Speaker0: Yeah. I lived in blue. I, you know, I was born in blue Island,

Speaker0: Illinois, which is the first city, um, on the edge of Chicago.

Speaker0: You can, you know, cross the street in blue Island and be in Chicago.

Speaker0: Um, I will tell you this about Illinois people and what they think of Indiana people.

Speaker0: The Bears will not get away with it. It will destroy the franchise.

Speaker0: People in Illinois have massive disdain for people in Indiana.

Speaker0: And even people that move to Indiana from Illinois are judged harshly.

Speaker0: And you know what? I love a lot of things about where we live.

Speaker0: the state is not what i

Speaker0: i do not i love our community and our neighbors and friends and our beautiful

Speaker0: beach but fuck this state up the asshole it is the worst state one of the worst

Speaker0: states in the whole country just leave yeah i'm gonna stay maybe maybe that

Speaker0: person should leave that says that well it's.

Speaker2: Funny so this the region is kind of like the middle of the venn diagram so we're in indiana

Speaker2: But we're like kind of a Chicago attitude. We're not a no-no-no-is. Central time zone.

Speaker0: Like we have good fucking pizza here. Definitely.

Speaker2: But the taxes are lower for right now.

Speaker0: I mean, it's getting sketchy. But if you want terrible garbage service,

Speaker0: terrible, that's another thing.

Speaker0: I mean, I like the hijinks of what I've watched with the trash collection now

Speaker0: that Gary's been in charge.

Speaker0: just watch it somebody should record it put a benny hill theme to it on youtube,

Speaker0: like they're just dragging the cans way too

Speaker0: far like they won't they're not pulling the truck up they're all new some girl

Speaker0: just like flip whiffed her hair into a ponytail when she was trying to get the

Speaker0: thing the other day and i just thought oh man seriously i don't think that woman

Speaker0: is a garbage collector by trade so.

Speaker2: She just started

Speaker0: She looked super young and i'm glad they're giving our youth some opportunities

Speaker0: but like i like they're garbage men and women like exist like they do that as a profession so.

Speaker2: You're saying if the bears moved

Speaker2: to gary caleb williams would have to like moonlight as a trash person

Speaker0: He might i mean so my thing is that was one thing that worked we had a working

Speaker0: they would take everything i'd tip them every year it was for christmas a good

Speaker0: take everything you throw a couch out there you throw some like.

Speaker1: I was like

Speaker0: Half a tree i'd see some of the stuff.

Speaker1: Jerry would put in this alley and i'd be like there's no

Speaker0: They're not taking that chair ever it's been rained on for a week they will

Speaker0: they did a mattress whatever you want to put out there they took.

Speaker1: It took a mattress i was stunned

Speaker0: bowl boxes and then they've just been out there for four weeks definitely not

Speaker0: taking those because they're not in the can they're not taking anything that's not in the can.

Speaker1: I did i did hear that you have to everything has to be in the can and the lid has to be closed

Speaker0: What or.

Speaker1: Whatever or or it It has to be in the can so it can be precariously lifted with

Speaker0: That. Yeah, but they were just dragging them all over like they were.

Speaker0: Weeks of talking. That's a long breakfast bite.

Speaker2: That's a long breakfast bite. So apparently we don't want the bears and we would like their trash.
