Oh man, I am getting into the musical openings.

You know, I had a lot of feedback lately on the podcast. People saying, I love it. It's raw. It's edgy. You really jump right in. But hey, what if we had some musical intros to really get us going? And I say, hey, why not? So, you know, I was listening around to a couple different podcasts here and there. Some people, some rock music going, some people have their own theme song. I say, hey, I

don't want to have to worry about licensing fees and paying other people. I have a music degree myself, so let's just take care of business on this end and we'll sing this in, we'll sing this out, and it's going to be lovely. What's going on? How are you? What's happening this week? Wow, lots going on. Apologize.

This podcast could get long. I have a lot of things on the docket today. Listening to discretion is advised for two reasons. One is going to be some pretty adult language happening later here. And then also the podcast is just subjectively terrible so if you're If you made it this far You know you're probably here because you actually want to listen and not because you're just exploring so Kudos to the the seven of you who are are still listening at this point yesterday was Groundhog Day

Rise and shine campers. It's cold out there. I don't remember exactly how it goes, but you know the song. Bap, bap, bap, bap, bap, bap, bap, I got you, babe. Sonny and Sherry, it's classic watch Groundhog Day. This morning got to do it. It's tradition.

Punxitani Phil, as he does. Honestly, I was looking at the stats. It's like 75% of the time. Punxed Tony comes out and he sees Punxed Tony Phil comes out. He sees the shadow. So I don't really know what the big deal is because it seems like he's seeing his shadow three out of every four years here. But yesterday, morning was no different. We got six more weeks of winter. And if you were in bean town right now, you would you would agree with me. It's cold out here, which is kind of what I've come to expect from my februaries, but I don't know, last Saturday it was like 60 degrees or something. So it's up and down just like my emotional well-being. So let's save that for a later podcast. Oh man. I got a lot to talk about. First and foremost, online dating. Since

moving to Baltimore, I've been doing a lot of online dating, Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, plenty of fish. Okay, Cupid, Grindr, after I've had a couple of drinks, Craigslist Personals, when I'm really going through a rough patch, AK every weekend. These apps are the reasons honestly that can only store like 45 pictures. On my iPhone at one time, my kickass iPhone 5C with 8 gigs of storage. But you know, as someone who spends more than 90% of personal time with strangers and meet on the internet, I feel pretty well informed on the topic. The big thing with online dating, no matter what medium you're using,

it's that opening message, right? And there's a billion different types of opening messages you can use, a lot of different strategies. Thinking about it past weekend, I went on a couple different dates. And I don't know, I'm a big sports guy, once we get into the summer, you'll hear me talking about baseball all the time, but I come to feel like, you know, online dating apps are kind of like being a baseball player. And you go up to the plate with that bat in your hand and you're looking to get on base. So a couple of different openers. And I'm going to relate them to a couple of different things you can do while you're at the plate in baseball.

So, so the classic opener, anything is, hey, hello, hi, maybe a smiley face. That's kind of like going up to the plate and and bunting, you know. The chances of you getting to first base pretty slim. If you're skilled, you might be able to beat it out and get to first base. So, but that's your hey, it's your bun. It's not exactly, I don't know, I was going to say it's safe, but it's not safe because you're probably not going anywhere with it. You got your standard solid single of the middle. That's going to be something like a wow.

That second picture is really beautiful. Where was it taken if it's like a travel picture or something? Is it going to get you to first base? Yeah, probably. Your chance of circling the bases just on a solid single up the middle. Probably pretty low. But if you've got a high scoring offense,

AKA your Tinder game, as we call it, you might just get lucky. My favorite that I've been using lately, and it's been working pretty well. It's going to be your solid double off the wall. So you say something just crazy out of left field. Nope, I'm intended. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It's a message. It's like something just is straightforward. It's three exclamation points. That's it.

Just three exclamation points. You send that message. Double off the wall. I guarantee you, it's going to work pretty well. Or something like, quote, does this mean we're exclusive? You know, it's, it's, where, whoa, where did that come from? I got a response to this guy now. He's edgy. He gets it.

He's gotten my attention. Oh, this is always really popular as well. Another kind of ties into baseball. I'm really out of your league. And you just leave it like that. Boom, that's it. It's over. That's all you say.

Your chance of getting a good response and a chance to get some of that witty banter going back and forth, it's solid. I love it. It's the double off the wall. Of course, of course, you got home runs in baseball, right? So you got your home run cut when it comes time to online dating pickup lines.

The good ol' swing for the fences. You got nothing left to lose, which is where a lot of men like myself are at in these trying times. If you use these in the past to very limited success, it's say about, I don't know, 20% of the time, they work half the time. That's a nod to Paul Riding and Ingram, and it's not the exact quote, but I was never a power hit

or myself, so maybe you guys out there have better odds with these. It's something like straightforward. Do you want to have sex and eat pizza? That's it, that's what you say. Now, for my mom and dad listening, no, I obviously never used that line before, that's crass. It's straightforward, it's disrespectful to women.

Yeah, I would never use a pickup line like that. It's probably not gonna work, works less than 10% of the time. But, you know, less than 10% of swings are home runs, right? And it's probably like 1% or something like that. Another good one. I'm going to be going out on Saturday night and you want to join. You get right to the point.

You're asking out on the date without any of the small talk, very straightforward, no messing around, no ambiguity. It's like you're going for that home run. You're down by 10 runs, which is where I'm at right now. And hey, you're just trying to pad your stats. So I should mention, I've used some terms, like first base, second base, home run. The kind of baseball rounding the bases metaphor

is a common one in pop culture in regards to talking about dating. I should mention what my four bases are though. So first base is she responds to one of your first five messages. So if you've sent four messages over the course of a month or something, nothing, no response, but you send that fifth message and she responds within a year. Hey, that's first base. You're on, buddy. Bumpy up in the on-base percentage category.

Second base, that is eye contact. That's a big one. It's a pretty underrated one. Can't tell you how many dates I've gone on, where girls wear sunglasses and you don't know if she's looking at you. That's why I try not to date in the bright summer months when that sun is peak in the sky. So that second base, third base, accidentally touching her butt while swimming backstroke laps in the pool. So probably some questions about that, right? What are you doing in a pool? Why swimming backstroke?

It's like one of the three worst strokes The swim date I got to tell you and I Been some joking around already on this podcast. This is a true story. I have done the swim date dated a girl It was kind of like a quasi relationship pseudo relationship. What's the difference between quasi and pseudo? I don't know. Quasies like the guy from Hunchback and Notre Dame, pseudo is like the thing that I'm taking when I have cold and flu from CVS.

Anyways, quasi-sudy relationship and went to the YMCA, used one of my free passes and we went on the YMCA, used one of my free passes, and we went on the swim date. That was it. I think we had like hot pockets at her house afterwards and watched Judge Judy, which was her favorite thing to do, by the way. She loved watching Judge Judy. I never, I don't know, never really got into it,

but that didn't last very long. Anyways, back to the point here, third base accidentally touching her butt while swimming backstroke laps in the pool. It's a big one. Of course, yeah, your home run, get married and have six kids. So that's the four bases.

First base responds to one of your first five messages. Second base eye contact, third base, X and L, butt, yikes, butt punching, no. Don't do that, butt touching. We're going to just leave that right there and then home run. Circle in the bases, get married and have six kids. When you're raised as a white conservative Christian, the third base to home run difference is actually the smallest leap you've got there. Going from the swim date to the married with six kids,

not that big of a difference in regards to going from eye contact to the swim date. So, I mean, you do the math. You think about it. How many girls in your life are you going to make eye contact with? And how many of those girls are you going on a swim date with at the YMCA and having hot pockets with after, right? It's a pretty low percentage, probably, you know, 40 to 50 percent. Whereas you tell me, you go out on a YMCA swim date and have hot pockets with a girl and she still wants to date you after that. Your chances of getting married and having multiple children? It's pretty good.

I'll be honest with you. I'm over one in the category, but I guarantee you give me five more girls to take to the YMCA in a swim date. We're getting married. It's a one in a million shot, one in a million. But hey, some guys make it work. I'll let you know what I find out. That's online dating and the baseball metaphor.

It's a doggy dog world out there. I tell you what, but it's fun. It's a crazy time. I tell you what. And if you ever do meet someone that you or chat with on Craigslist Personals, bring some buddies, not in like a sick orgy type thing, but just have your back, I guess is what I'm saying.

So let's leave that there. Movies big for me this week, as they usually are. I took kind of a different approach to movie me this week as they usually are I Took kind of a different approach to movie watching this week So last couple weeks I've been you know getting all ready to go with my Oscar films and then just been doing a lot of like Second and third watches of movies, but this week I watched two movies at home and I watched one movie in the theater last night. So at home this week I watched You Can Count On Me, which is a movie that a coworker told me about. It's kind of thawing again, who did Manchester

by the sea last year, one best original screenplay. But You Can Count On Me was from 2000, I think, and it's Mark Ruffalo and Laura Lennie and believe it or not, McCauley Culkins' younger brother makes his debut in that. Didn't spend too much time home alone in the film but they were together quite a bit. So yeah you can count on me. It was a good film. Kind of fun again, similar kind of style to Manchester by the sea.

So if you liked it, encourage you to check it out. Solid film, Mark Ruffalo and Laura Lennie were both really good in. Also Matthew Broderick, who's always in kind of fun again films plays an interesting character in that film. But that was you can count on me. I saw Patterson on Amazon Prime a couple

nights ago. Patterson was a movie that I saw one trailer for, you know, two years ago when it came out and thought, oh, this looks kind of cool, but never really heard about it again. Never really saw any advertising or marketing or anything for it, no media for it. Stumble the cross it on Amazon, Amazon Prime the other night. It's like, hey, I remember this trailer, let's check it out. So it's Adam Driver and his wife is played by a Iranian actress who I don't know. But the story takes place in Paterson, New Jersey. He's a bus driver slash poet and it's just one week in their life. And that's really all you need to know before going to the film. It's not a crazy, dramatic, you know,

there are no big twists, there's no big climax. It's just a nice, simple film about working class Americans. And it was beautiful. It was a really nice film. And then last night, went to the theater. I saw a film star, it's on a dying Liverpool, which was based on what was the guy's name.

Some something, Patrick Turner is that right now. It's not Patrick Peter Turner memoir about his relationship with Gloria Graham back in like 1980, early 1980s late 70s liverpool. Gloria Graham, like a black and white film actress she won in Oscar. Back in the 50s I think, but this is basically a story about their relationship with Chapin's right at the end of Gloria Graham's career. And yeah, it has a great Elvis Costello song in it. I enjoyed that one a lot as well. Again, nice film. Have some issues with it, but in that Benning, Jamie Bell, both really good. If it would have got it, had a few more things

fall its way. It could have made its way into some Oscars conversations, but it did not quite get there. So in terms of ratings, you can count on me, which is the Kenneth Londergan one, to give that three out of four stars, Patterson, I'm also going to give three out of four stars, film stars on Diane Liverpool, I give two and a half out of four stars just because I have some issues with it. And it was mostly the actual relationship itself. For me, it was kind of tough to take it behind,

but the acting from Bochimi Bell and in that bending, both really solid. So just because two and a half stars out of four stars is actually a pretty solid rating. So those are those films. The movie that I wanted to talk a little bit more in depth about today, one that I haven't reviewed yet, but it's Lady Bird.

One of, so I have two favorite films this year. One is called The By Your Name, which we talked about last week, I think, or two weeks ago. And then the other one is Lady Bird. It's seen it thrice now, three times. It's Searcher Ronin. It is Laurie Metcalfe. It's Tracy Letts, Lucas Hedges, and Timothy Schellemet are kind of the main cast. It's amazing.

It's kind of Greta Gerwig's own personal tale. She wrote it, directed it, really hoping that she gets some accolades. I think he had me words next month, but it's just one of those films that the reason it's so fantastic is because it's so real. It's so raw. It doesn't beat around the bush and anything. And anyone who's ever been in high school, I think, can relate to it.

Not to mention there are, it's acted out so well, there are so many different characters and different walks of life, right? The choir teacher with his illness, the dad, facing mental health issues and unemployment. The mom plays that perfect slurry metcalf stunning, really hoping she gets the Oscar for it. I think any mom or daughter can relate to Laurie Metcalf's character in her position in that.

I am fairly confident my mom can. Search her own in great, every minute, teenage girl, search her own in the, or the brother in the film, being an outsider in a place where you don't really feel like you fit in. Great role, or great kind of storyline for that as well. There's someone who's dealing with coming out sexually or with their sexuality, someone dealing with nihilism and smoking and drinking at a young age.

There's just, there are so many different characters that fit in seamlessly. It's the most real film of the year. It was similar to what Manchester by the sea was like last year in that you just you feel like you can completely relate because it's not fabricated nothing's been dolled up this just this is this is you know one year of of life and so many different characters coming in and out of it it's brilliant so if you haven't seen Lady Bird yet absolutely it's a must watch. Yeah, no reservations, four hour to four stars.

Really, Laurie MacCalf is just stunning in it, but don't look past Tracy Letz, also really, really good. So, Lady Bird is my highest and full recommendation, one of my two favorite movies of the year. Let's move off of movies.

That is the Super Bowl tomorrow, although I think it's on NBC, which means we get to listen to Chris Collins, where now here's a guy and oh,

he's gonna get his two feet in and, ah, I don't know, oh, that started to get more into Tony Romo territory right there, but Super Bowl tomorrow, Pats, Vers, Eagles, a lot of people, people really haven't been asking me my score prediction that much, because who cares what I think

about score prediction. People have been asking me who I'm rooting for. And actually, I'm really finding myself going back and forth between this, because most people are listening to say, are you kidding me? You have to do it for the Eagles. They're playing the Patriots. Well, here are my two cents on this.

First and foremost, my original thoughts got to it for the Eagles, right? Team that's never won it before. Team that is just really put together, talent-wise, young coach. They did everything right. They drafted well. They got an underdog for a quarterback.

It's just, you know, it's the perfect setup, right? I love everything about that team. What I hate is everything else about them. The fans, the city, the amount of videos that I've seen throughout the playoffs of Eagles fans just doing trash, trashy things to other fans, the Vikings fans, Falcons fans, now Patriots fans, it's just terrible. And look, that's going to happen for most teams, although I swear to God, never seen a Vikings fan throwing unopened beer cans and bottles at opposing teams fans,

but I don't know. It's just, it's reached a point to me, or for me, where I just, man, it would be really satisfying to shut those fans up for a little bit. On the other side, you know, Patriots wanted crazy, what is it? They've won five times now since 2001. They're going for number six. I think let's see They got the they beat the Rams. Great shanturf back to back years versus Eagles and Panthers. They beat McNabb and Deloam then they beat the

Seahawks on the the first and goal one and That's it, right? They've lost No, no, no, they they beat sh, damn, they beat the Falcons last year. Okay, yeah, there's the five, right? One, two, three, four, five. They lost to the Giants twice. Yeah, that's it. So, they're going for number six.

I'm at a point right now where they're so damn good and so well coached and their chemistry is just perfect that I say let it right. You know, Tom Brady's cemented himself as a greatest of all time. He's surpassed, manning, he surpassed Montana. He's the best there is. It's fine, I've come to accept it.

So let's just see how far they can go. You know Tom Brady, as he's gone older, has kind of kept to himself a little bit more and gotten less douchey. You watch Bella check, he's also coming out of his shell a little bit, cracks a smile a little bit more often, laughs. If you watch the Jimmy Kimmel and Guillermo thing at the Super Bowl came out a couple days ago, you see Bill Bellicet giving a hug to Guillermo and laughing with him. So I like Bellicet actually the more I've gone to watch him. But so in that sense, I'm not really going to be upset,

whichever team wins. What do I actually think is going to happen? My final score prediction, I am going to say that the pay... Well, yeah, it's tough because if the Eagles played like they did in the NSE championship game, they would never lose a game of football for the rest of eternity. It was arguably the most dominant well-plated playoff performance, I think, ever, if I'm being fair. played playoff performance, I think ever if I'm being fair. If they play like that, yeah, no one's gonna stop them, but I just, there's something in the back of my head,

saying Eagles are gonna find a way to choke it away. So I'm gonna predict that the Patriots win it 27 to 23. It's gonna be close, Patriots are gonna have to come back, but they've done it once, right? 28 to 3, they can do it again. So Patriots 27, Eagles 23, that's the official bean town podcast prediction. We will see what happens tomorrow night,

something like 5 p.m., I don't know, just in Timberlake doing a half time show. I don't think he's announced who else is gonna come out with him, but guess we'll find out. I will be watching it from right here in the flower chair. Got some went to the grocery store. Got some nacho supplies and do some buffalo chicken tenders as well. Should be a good day. He got some beer as well. I'm drinking again. Thursday was February 1st. The drymouth is over. Went to trivia, had some beer, got completely buzzed off of

two blue moons. So that tells you how my tolerance was going. Got to use my flask for the first time last night. Take it to the movie theater. Fill it with some bourbon.

Let's run it through it. China, Jr. AKA South Korea is hosting in what, a week here. It starts.

2020 Tokyo, some Olympic Games, AKA China, Jr. And then 2022, next winter Olympic Games are Beijing, China, Sr. You wanna talk about how badly we're losing to China, I will show you the next three Olympic hosts. So that's coming up. I would love for you to email the podcast, beantownpodcast.yahoo.com. That's beantown B-E-A-N-T-O-W-N podcast at yahoo.com. Let me know who you're rooting for in this year's Olympics. you know, are you rooting for the USA or maybe

Russia because you like a powerhouse. Maybe you're going for the underdogs, something like Laos. I don't know, Laos is one of those under the radar countries that, I don't know, you're not going to see them climbing the metal boards but look out for them in the the biathlon. They're light, they're quick, they stand top of the snow. Those Laosians, Lashins, Lashins. The Lashins are going to be real good this year. I think flying under the radar, you don't expect them. Hashtag guerrilla warfare. That's the Olympics. No NHL hockey players playing hockey in the Olympics issue, which is a bummer. I will probably be rerouting for Norway just to stick it to the man.

So Olympics are coming up. I did want to get back to this dating question because I did get some advice, not I didn't get advice. I got an advice question emailed to beanown podcast at Yahoo.com this week. It's about the age gap in dating and it's actually pretty relevant because a couple of weeks ago I saw a fam thread and then last night I saw a film star, so I went down Liverpool, which the dating gap there was like 30 years or something. So the question comes from a listener here in Oklahoma

says, dear bean town Quinn, I've been thinking about asking this lady out. Here's the one catch. She's 32 years older than me. I'm a 24 year old male. Got my graduate degree in business. Everything's going well, she's got a couple kids, what are your thoughts on this? That's a great question.

Let's kind of talk through this a little bit. The big question here, of course, what is the appropriate age gap for dating? Is there still such a thing as an appropriate or inappropriate age gap in 2018? I don't know. That's a good question. Let me let me talk about myself here. Most of my, I've got to get a cup of a drink of coffee, one sec. My coffee's getting to that point where it's getting close to the point of no drinky, no return, drink wise, temperature wise. I don't want to get up and put it in a microwave, though.

Hashtag dead air. Most of my Tinder matches are between 18 to 22. And that's my first problem. It's tough being someone who has gone through the college saying, gone through grad school, moved to a different city, full-time job, and benefits, I might add, although I do not have dental. So fingers crossed on no dental problems, knock on wood. You're still matching, so you're this age, 22, maybe 23, pushing 24. You're still matching with the college sophomores. And it tell you what, it's just a different lifestyle.

What I'm in now compared to what I was doing when I was, you know, 19, 20 years old, second year of college. Yes, I want to hang out with you and have tea and play my color. No, I do not want to come to your sorority semi formal. I don't want to buy you alcohol either. And that's kind of okay. Let's do all this for a second. That's the weird thing. Buying alcohol radically shifts whether the person you're buying for is legal or not, right? Because if you're okay, you're hanging out with a 20 year old and you're buying you alcohol, I feel shady as hell, like I gotta be wearing a long trench coat and smuggling that handle a smear off in the dorms because what college kid drinks anything

about smear off, I swear to God, go on dates occasionally with like a 20, excuse me, 20 year old, and then go, so what do you like, first, do you drink? Great, you got to ask that first. Second, what do you like to drink? And you know, I'm at a point in my life where love me some, some bourbon, really anything comes from whiskey. Big fan of right now. I, you know, do some tequila as well. Kind of, you know, here and there, but I'm off vodka.

That's not a thing for me right now. But I swear to God every other college person you talk to you, it's vodka vodka vodka vodka. I don't know why. It just tastes like man, it's bad. So, no, not vodka's not for me anymore, but you smuggle that handle of semi-an-off into, you know, like her dorm, so you don't get caught by the RA. So that's one thing, she's 20. Then once she turns 21, it's completely different. If you're not buying her alcohol, all of a sudden,

you're the asshole. It's amazing how quickly that changes with just one day, turning 20 to 21. So that's why my goal is to only date 40-year-old, divorced moms, because let's face it, always want a couple of kids. It seems like the quickest way to do that. Either that or I got to go visit the goat sanctuary here coming up. So, oh man.

We are running long on this podcast. Got a couple more things to talk about, then we will wrap it up. I promise a couple things about a guitar earlier this week. It's blue. It's very fashionable. I feel like Johnny Cash woke up this morning, turned on an Eagles live concert and you should have seen me or heard me as my neighbors did. It's just strumming along. You got peacefully easy feeling, take it easy, new canin' town. Yeah, it's a lot of fun. So looking forward to advancing my guitar skills there. Maybe we'll do some intro, out-trim music with the guitar coming up here. Last thing

got another email from the or into the podcast email that's beantown podcast at Yahoo.com like share subscribe that's beantown B-E-A-M-T-O-W-N podcasts at Yahoo.com tell your friends tell your neighbors it says dear beantown Quinn are you planning on commenting on the SOTU speech? I got to tell you I first read this at like two in the morning because they don't sleep well I thought it said scrotum Are you planning on coming on the scrotum speech in this week's podcast now? I could talk about that but I woke up a little bit saw a state of the union is what that acronym is for not many references to China

I fear sad. Thank you for that email We're short on time so I I'm not going to dwell on it a lot. I will say that I think that speech went about as good as anyone in the country could have hoped for. He stuck to the teleprompter, which is always a good thing, issues with policy and and everything else aside my biggest problem with the scrotum speech was and I was listening to it on on the radio wasn't watching it live listen to it live on the radio he kept or so it was tough for me to pick up on this but then when I was watching the highlights that he is being later saw it. He kept clapping for himself into their microphone. Like, if you're, I don't know,

if you're like bringing everyone's attention to someone like someone you brought to the speech, like a vet or a kid or something or a goat, and you're clapping for them, that's fine. That happened once or twice. But he would just like say something for 10 seconds. It would be kind of like, okay, whatever, but pause for the applause.

And he'd start clapping for himself. And I got to tell you, after 80 minutes of that, I was, I literally, this speech was, what, okay. 80 minutes long in total probably 30 minutes of DJT talking and 50 minutes of him applauding for himself Yeah, I don't need that white noise. I want to hear some actual policies some actual substance not just you Clap in for yourself. So that was my base issue with it. That's all I'm gonna say about it because I'm not well-informed enough politically. We'll say that for a later podcast. I was thinking

this morning while I was cooking up breakfast, what if we did an entire podcast in just Donald J. Trump's voice? It would be tough. It have to practice for a little while to pull it off, but hey, if that's something you think you would you'd like to hear Let me know comment on Facebook Twitter Instagram You know where to find the bean-town podcast or send us an email to beantownpodcasta Yahoo.com That's beantown B-E-A-N-T-O-W-N podcasta Yahoo.com can also like share subscribe on YouTube Leave some comments there as well.

If you think that'd be a fun idea, let me know and we'll start working on it. I've mentioned yesterday on Facebook and Twitter that we're going to make a big announcement live on air. And, yeah, let's not beat around the bush. Tax season is upon us. Taxes are due sometime in April. I don't know. I don't really pay attention to deadlines.

But my big announcement is that I'm gonna be doing my taxes live on the air in a couple of weeks here. Don't have the date nailed down yet. It'll probably be sometime in early March or late February. Quinn's releasing his tax returns for the whole world to see. So yeah, that's happening. It's a big announcement. I think it's going to put some pressure on the president to release his tax returns.

But yeah, there it is. It's the big announcement. Quinn, David Furnace, my pledge to you, we are going to be doing our taxes for the 2017 year live on this podcast. Boom. There it is. Hello. All right.
