Oh, What a Week—Springfield Bears Down

About this episode

Ben and Dr D discuss political differences in funding for the Bears and updates on the mayoral race.

Ben and Dr D are busting out…so much to say about so many things. For instance, what’s the difference between Hoosier and Illinois MAGA? Bet you didn’t know there was a difference. Well, there is one, when it comes to showering money on the Bears. Also, mayoral updates—will all the wannabes drop out if Alexi jumps into the race? And so much more.
