- Says he likes the city of Columbus, but when pressed admits he never toured around it at all and only went between hotel and arena
- Didn't know about arena upgrades happening at nationwide centre
- Says he wanted to be closer to family but ultimately didnt matter where
It is objectively non-sense and kind of hysterical to read aloud.

Yeah I didn't think it was possible for someone to make a huge life decision that.. casually.
I was astounded by his answers too. It's like he spun a bottle to decide, checked out a quick Google image search of the city, called up Gross to ring Jarmo and took the first contract draft they could scrounge up in their excitement and disbelief.
