I got five on it. Number one.
Mark Grote 0:14
A bill in the Iowa State Senate was introduced Tuesday seeking an expansion of its economic growth attraction program with the goal of luring an NFL franchise to the state, specifically the Bears, on a scale of one to ten on the newly created No Chance in Hell meter trademark. Where would you rate just how unlikely it is that the Bears would select Iowa as the site for a new stadium? Iowa. That's right. Iowa.
Marshall Harris 0:48
That song was sick, by the way.

What is Iowa's plan to attract an NFL franchise?

Marshall Harris 0:50
I don't know what it was.
Mark Grote 0:50
That was the Vince McMahon intro song when he wrestled on WWE.
Unknown 0:55
That's incredible.
Marshall Harris 0:56
Maybe I should have been watching wrestling.
Unknown 0:57
10. Yeah, there's always time to start, Groats.
Mark Grote 1:00
Just saying.
Unknown 1:01
Wrestling is always there for you. 10. What are we doing here? Also, I know what you're doing, State of Iowa. I've seen your Hawkeyes play. You're like, oh, what's this? Offense out of the Bears, huh? A little forward pass or two, a little trick play. Teams gaining yards. 10.
Marshall Harris 1:19
You took this as an opportunity to rip the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Unknown 1:23
No, no, you don't get to steal the Bears just because the Hawkeyes don't do enough on offense. I sat in the crowd, watched them play Michigan State this last year, and I had to listen to the fans beg for you to pass the ball. And that doesn't necessarily mean... that you get to steal another team who actually throws it. And I know Iowa State is also good, and I understand that their coach left to go to Penn State.

How likely is it that the Bears will move to Iowa?

Unknown 1:45
So I'm going to give the Cyclones some love here, too. But no, just because the Bears have more offense than the Hawkeyes doesn't mean you get to steal the team. I bet you had a good time there, though.
Marshall Harris 1:56
I bet you had a good time on campus, though.
Unknown 1:58
I did, and they had an amazing comeback, actually. And my friend was like, what do you bet this ends up like the Bears? And I was like, there's no way. And then it ended up like the Bears, and I felt stupid.
Leila Rahimi 2:06
I don't know that Anthony Heron is going to take too kindly to you taking Iowa's offense and raking it over the coals.
Unknown 2:13
He knows. He played for the defense. He was where it was at.
Leila Rahimi 2:16
That's fair. That's fair. Go back to the meter, though. So on a scale of 1 to 10 on the newly created No Chance in Hades meter.
No chance.
Marshall Harris 2:32
Who actually sings that song? Where's my Shazam?
Mark Grote 2:35
It's a good question because they had, like, I believe, in my mind, in my memory of watching it as a kid, WWE basically had, like, a house band. Oh, wow. And they had, like, a lot of songs you hear have that guy's voice on it.
Marshall Harris 2:49
Are they still touring? Everybody's still touring somewhere. I'll get to the bottom of it. Okay, please. Thank you.
Leila Rahimi 2:53
But the number I'm putting on this, 1 to 10? 100. 100. Not even trying to be hyperbolic. Ain't no way. Ain't no way. Des Moines? I get it. This ain't the Iowa Cubs. This isn't a jaunt through the summer. This is football and football season, and it's the Chicago Bears. That being said, I'm really excited about the Portage, Indiana thing. Just for the spectacle of it all.
Unknown 3:24
We are eagerly awaiting to be able to tell you the news from the press conference.
Leila Rahimi 3:28
That's going on right now. It's a 100 for me, Groats. Same. May I use your 100?
Marshall Harris 3:34
Yes. Is there enough left for me to use 100? I'll look at it slightly differently. I will say I will hit them with 100, a 10, whatever you want to say. Iowa is our friend, though. I love Iowans. I think they're some of the nicest people in the country, probably. I go Iowa, Minnesota, just in my travels about the United States. And I have a lot of ties. My nephew went to Iowa. My brother went to University of Iowa. So I've spent a lot of time at all of the Iowas. They're very nice people. And that's all I wanted to say.
Unknown 4:08
No, there's a lot of Hawkeye fans who listen to the score, too. I found that out of my travels.
Marshall Harris 4:12
Tons of people from Illinois go to Iowa.
Unknown 4:18
Come on now.
Marshall Harris 4:20
Drink my Shazam.
Mark Grote 4:21
So that was actually the lead singer of the DX band, which was used for WWE intro. A lot of the WWE intro songs. His name was Chris Warren.
