Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the bean town podcast our Valentine's Day edition Sunday February 10th 2019. What's going on? How are you? It's Quinn David Furnest host creator best boy key grip, etc. Of the bean town podcast or the people's podcast as I like to call it one of Baltimore City's top 500 podcasts and your new leading source for misinformation. How is everyone doing? My name is Quinn and we are coming to you live from 817 St. Paul Street to talk about Valentine's Day, love, loss, sex, sorrow, grief, and a whole slew of other topics. We've got a lovely love correspondent who's gonna be coming on the program
Starting point is 00:00:50 in just a couple minutes here, but I figured I'd get us started with an old-fashioned rant, get a lot of emails from the fans over at BeentownPodcast.com, newly introduced now in its beta stage and BeentownPodcast.com. Newly introduced now on its beta stage and BeentownPodcast Yahoo.com that can always email us again as Beentown
Starting point is 00:01:10 B-E-A-N-T-L-N-Podcast at Yahoo.com, saying Quinn, we love what you're doing, we listen almost every year and we would love to you, love to hear you do some more rants. So here we go and before I jump into this I should note that listener discretion is advised. When you're listening to the Bean Tom podcast number one, we'll occasionally use
Starting point is 00:01:35 some objective-fying language and number two, the podcast is just objectively terrible and you know a word that I have in my vocabulary, but I actually learned the definition of last, learned the definition of the word last night. And let's just, you know, Sesame Street has a letter and a number of the day. Let's make this the bean town word of the day. Are you ready? Acumenical. I'll say that again. Acumenical. So if you know what that means, leave a comment, like, share, subscribe, retweet. We're on Spotify, Stitcher, Player FM, not Castbox yet, Google Play Apple Podcast, iTunes, YouTube,
Starting point is 00:02:16 SoundCloud, BintownPodcast.com, and the likes. You know where to find us, but here's the deal. Weddings. The loving union between a man and a woman, or a man and a man, or a woman, or a woman, or whomever you choose to be, I've come out here, I defended the 19th Amendment. You know my stance on human rights. But let's talk about plus ones at weddings.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Here's the deal. When you're having a wedding, it's a good idea, it's a nice gesture, it's a word I like, it sounds like gesture, which is sort of what I am, but it's gesture with a G. It's a nice gesture to offer your friends or the invite T, as I will refer to them as
Starting point is 00:03:10 from here on fourth, a plus one. Now for those of us who don't know a plus one refers not to addition or multiplication, but actually bringing another person to the wedding that the invite T has been invited to. Now conventional logic, conventional wisdom says, once you send that invitation, once the invitation leaves your mailbox. The responsibility or the power regarding that plus one is in transfer from the wedding planner, the bride, the groom, whomever, to the wedding invitee.
Starting point is 00:03:49 I believe there is a Supreme Court case about this. I don't know, maybe. But that responsibility, that power is in shifted. It's shifted, if you could see my hand, I'm doing a shifted motion to the person being invited. And the person in charge of the wedding, unless there is some sort of bad blood of some kind between the potential plus one
Starting point is 00:04:15 and the person who's wedding it is, all bets are off. Right, if I get invited to a wedding and I'm given a plus one and I really want to bring, I don't know, my sister, I think that that's my God given right to be able to do that because this is America and that's how Liberty works. So let me tell you something, I got a friend, she's been invited to a number of weddings coming up this spring and this summer and you know, being a good looking, such as myself, I'm a classic choice for the plus one. I've been the plus one before. I play the role well. I'm fine. Don't make a scene. I show up. I dance. I get down. I do the toasts. Clean, clean, clean, glass. You know how it goes. There are restrictions, however, being
Starting point is 00:05:02 placed on who my friend can bring as a plus one. And apparently, I've been blacklisted from multiple weddings that I'm not allowed to go to simply because of who I am, because of my character. And I don't want to get into this. It might be because I'm a white male. But I should not be subjected to this sort of, I'll say it, podcasting harassment is a new term that I just came up with. I don't know if it's because they don't want celebrities at the wedding, if it's a paparazzi
Starting point is 00:05:35 thing, attention being taken away. I won't even, I don't have to do my stand up act at the start of the ceremony. I'm fine showing up and saying, I'll just sit in the back here and nibble on crackers and watch you guys do it. I don't have to be the center of everything. I get it, but I shouldn't be blacklisted from this wedding simply because you say so.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Right? Once the wedding invite goes out the door, you lose that power, you lose that responsibility. So for more on this, I would like to bring in a newly introduced fresh off the presses, bean town correspondent on all things love and Valentine's Day. Alexa Brown, welcome to the podcast. How are you doing today? I'm doing really well.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Quite a thanks for asking. Okay. Now let's bring you in on this issue of the plus ones and the plus snubs. What are your thoughts on that? Give us the rundown. So I cannot say that too many of my friends are getting married right now. So I have it personally based to this problem myself. I do understand the whole like not wanting to control who you invite list to your wedding is. I can't say I understand that obviously I'm not getting married. So I don't know that personally. But also if you give someone the opportunity to invite someone else,
Starting point is 00:07:07 just explicitly say who those people are that you're afraid of causing kind of tension at the wedding, making sure that they're not going to be on someone else's plus one. I don't know, it sounds kind of confrontational, but that way you can kind of control the people who you don't want to be there, and then maybe you can just meet some new people at your wedding It kind of sounds to me and I'll give you a hint when I'm thinking here It was from the 50s to the late 80s early 90s it is in Eastern Europe slash Asia it rhymes with
Starting point is 00:07:43 Moviate Funion and Joseph Stalin was headcomrade for multiple years. It's the Soviet Union, it's communist and this is a clear infringement on plus-one rights and I don't know if the ACL you listens to my podcast with any frequency but I don't know if the ACLU listens to my podcast with any frequency but I
Starting point is 00:08:07 don't know we might have to get them involved. Yeah I can't say I've done any reading on discrimination on the basis of a wedding date. Yeah this is it's podcasting harassment and I won't stand for it but we are already eight and a half minutes in here. So Alexa, thank you so much for coming on the podcast. We've got some fun, flirty Valentine's Day topics and questions that we're going to run through. And all Alexa's idea, she's been calling us for weeks
Starting point is 00:08:38 saying, Quinn Quinn, when can I come on the podcast? I would love to talk about love. I'm a big three dates a weekend type of girl. When can I share my insights? So Alexa, you're on, this is your moment. How are you feeling today? Yeah, I'm really just excited to be here and talk about something that I'm very passionate about,
Starting point is 00:08:59 which is all things love. Perpetually single is actually how we would use the words to describe me. But I tend to be someone people come to for advice on these topics for some reason. So I'm happy to provide my little aksa column if you will. I like that. A lot of our listeners might think they know what love is or what love means, but I think it's important to establish a groundwork before we move on to some of our more romantic topics here. So let's talk about the meaning of love Alexa. What does love mean to you?
Starting point is 00:09:41 Well, first, I'm going to ask you a question. Have you ever taken the five love languages, Quizz? So I think I'm like an ITNF for something. That would be Myers-Briggs. I mean that's a good place to start. I'm a ENFJ for people who don't know that Google it. I've always wanted to give that piece of advice for someone who I don't actually want to exploit things too. But no, the five love languages is how you show up in a relationship and how you want people to show appreciation for you. Mine is quality time. Does that sound like that might be relevant to you, Klan? I think I'm a Hufflepuff. Hey, me too. That's also important. I'm always going to ask which house you're in if I'm a hufflepuff. Hey, me too. That's also important.
Starting point is 00:10:27 I'm always going to ask which house you're in. If I'm going to be dating you, you better love Harry Potter. So that's what I'm saying. 817 St. Paul and it's a beautiful studio apartment, not a house. But quality time, I think, is very important. I know Roger Federer has a deal with some sort of watch company. And I will tell you, quality time is very important because one time I woke up in the morning, I knew something was wrong because of the way the sun was already hitting my bed.
Starting point is 00:10:57 My iPhone had frozen overnight and not the fun kind with a Dina Menzel. My alarm therefore had not gone off and I was late for work, thus missing quality time at the office. So I understand what you're getting at here. Yes, that is exactly what I'm trying to say. So love just shows up differently for different people and the way that you want to have conversations
Starting point is 00:11:23 with your significant other, even family members or friends, right? Those are all kinds of different relationships where love can take place in my opinion. Should love be scary? I don't think so, but I think it is. It shouldn't be, but yes. What's a romantic comedy that you've seen lately that was so bad it was spooky? Oh my gosh. I recently watched what's the one? Oh my goodness. I love you, man.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Channing Tatum. I watched it on Netflix and I couldn't even make it all the way through it because it's like a romcom plus a bromance in a movie. And it was just, and I love Paul Red, I think he's great. But it was Jason Seagull. That's the only person I've been in. And it was terrible. I'm sorry you had to experience that.
Starting point is 00:12:15 You know me too. It was always sort of a couple hours. It sounds like love can be scary. Absolutely. I think it can, depending on your level of investment, fear of commitment, that one's really good. All sorts of stuff.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Would you mind singing L-O-V-E Love by Nat King Cole? I would mind. No one wants to hear that. Last question on this meaning of love, I think it's really important and it's very on topic. Who is your sexual hero? Let's see. This one might be a little bit different but I would say Anna Kendrick. You know Anna Kendrick. You know I saw not a quiet place a simple favor with Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively and when they started getting it on man I had to clear out of that theater fast. You see, I have not
Starting point is 00:13:10 seen that movie but I've read her memoir. It's called Scrapie Little Nobody and she is just like a really cool person. However, I will add that she's really short and I am really not. I'm about five, nine, maybe five, 10 on a good day. So there would probably be some different logistical issues. Oh my, we'll see those for later. Okay, so Alexa, you're really big on Tinder, farmers only, blacks only, white nationalists only. So I think you're the perfect person to get some dating app advice from. So let's just start off. Tell us a little bit about your own experience using dating apps. So let's just talk about bumble.
Starting point is 00:14:05 That's the one I'm most familiar with. And by most familiar with, I mean, I love to swipe right. You're going to hear this is a sort of source of contention among people, but a lot of women just use bumble for ego boost. And so I have definitely used it for that purpose. Just for proof that there are men out there who are taller than six feet to might be interested in someone like me So here's a thing that a fat we've seen pop up on the internet So women seem to be very concerned on dating apps such as Bumble with men's height
Starting point is 00:14:42 But when men turn it around the other way and they ask women how much they weigh, there seems to be a disconnect in terms of how that's received. You have any thoughts on that? Um, I think I understand the double-edged sword, although I can't say that I would appreciate being asked my, my, my, my, but I also understand the reverse side of it, which is why I don't typically ask, but I do appreciate on eating apps when men list their height. However, I've come across a few men that I know, because I still live in the same town that I lived in for high school and things like that, who I know are lying
Starting point is 00:15:21 about their height. So it's just kind of one of those things that you have to figure it out for yourself. And are you willing to take the risk? For those curious Alexis about 92 pounds dripping wet. So put that on your bumble. When we're talking about picking out five or six photos for a bumble profiles, how many of those photos should have the dog ear snapchat filter? Are you talking about women using the dog ear snapchat photo or a bit?
Starting point is 00:15:52 Oh, probably both. Let's see, I mean, I think women really like to use that filter because it also has like a blurring effect on the skin. But I wouldn't recommend it just if you're trying to be yourself I know some people don't use dating apps that way ever but for men definitely none ever but if you have a dog in your photo I think we all know that that's good karma. Speaking of not using dating apps that way, bumbles got bumble date but they also have bumble BFF. Have you had any luck with Bumble BFF?
Starting point is 00:16:26 I can't say that I've tried it, and I can't say that I know anyone else who has, but it's been intriguing to me, and I definitely get the email ads to my email address that I use to sign up for the app. Yeah, it seems risky. I just feel like most people would use it as a backdoor sort of type of thing. No gay pun intended, but yeah, I don't know. It just that's what. I turned it on like once. And I think I came across about 2 1 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 2 1 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 on Bumble BFF. You can't actually talk because there's no lady to go first. So it's, you kind of run into a dead end pretty quickly there. Yeah, that sounds like an issue with the app.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Yeah, tell me about it. Although, you know, Bumble ran a Super Bowl ad. Did you see that? I know, I didn't. Yeah, it was crazy. It was basically like a porno, but yeah. What's your go-to pickup line? Because you're on bumble all the time, so you're always the one making the first move. So, so what do you feel on there for a pickup line? Well, gosh, you really have to take into account the information that the other person has listed about what they're interested and things like that. I cannot say I've ever actually reached out to anyone over a bumble because I am a complete chicken,
Starting point is 00:18:11 no matter what way you look at the situation. But I live in Colorado and so every single man who I've ever seen on this app loves skiing and the outdoors and all of that stuff. And really, my pickup line, if I were to send it, would essentially be like, doesn't like outside at all. Deal breaker, yes or no? That seems very basic. I, you know, I'm a very literal person.
Starting point is 00:18:42 If you ask anyone, like my friends or who I work with, I know you're included in that group. But I just, I'm a straight shooter, Quinn. I think there's some way to incorporate getting snowplowed or something into a pickup line. I don't know. Probably not that creative. Yeah, sexually creative, I would say is my, you know, when I'm looking at the five love questions that we were talking about earlier, I would say smells nice, sexually creative, has a good relationship with their dad, Hufflepuff, and Aries Rising. We're probably my five. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Wow. That's a specific list. Well, specific man with specific tastes. I said I like literal, that's good. Yeah, what would you say to all those eligible bachelors listening right now? Why should they swipe right on you this Valentine's Day?
Starting point is 00:19:48 So this is actually a serious conversation that I had with some friends a little while back to like what makes you a good partner. And my answer is typically I can get on board with whatever it is you do for a living, whatever it is you're interested in. I dated a computer engineering major in college very briefly and he was very hesitant to talk to me about what he was interested in because he thought it would bore me and I will just listen to anything. I'm a pretty good listener. So I can just be interested in pretty much about anything. Good listener. I'll write that down. I wasn't really listening to the rest of what you said.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Last question here on the idea of dating apps and then we're going to move into a fun sexy rapid fire around. A lot of people have been moving to dating apps after the official shutdown of Craigslist personalals a couple months back. What are you going to miss most about Craigslist Personals? I don't know that I'm going to miss Craigslist Personals all that much. There is some scary stuff that's happened here in Colorado with Craigslist and things like that. So, you know, I think the dating apps are somewhat more reliable, although, you know, if Craigslist is really more based in your community, then go for it until it's gone. Speaking of crazy things, you hear about that guy that killed that mountain lion?
Starting point is 00:21:19 Maybe. That was crazy stuff. Where stuff happens here? Yeah, Colorado's crazy, man. Let's move into our Rapid Fire section here, and then we're going to read some advertisements. So I'm going to give you two love songs, and you just got to pick one.
Starting point is 00:21:37 You feeling up for it? I'm so ready. All right, here we go. First selection. I'll make love to you by Boys to Men, or or endless love by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie. Boys to men always. I know that's probably a controversial answer because Diana Ross and Lionel Richie are so classic, but boys to men. What's your favorite boys to men song? I'll make love to you by boys to men. Is that the only boys to men song you know?
Starting point is 00:22:05 Yeah, it is now. Motown Philly, you got to check it out. I'll send it to you after. Next one, how deep is your love by the Bee Gees or I will always love you by Whitney Houston? Whitney Houston, again, really basic. Got to love everything that she does. So that's a good one. Who was your favorite Beeji? Again, couldn't tell you. All right. My music selection is a plethora of Broadway music soundtracks and then a couple of other random bits and pieces from pop music. Yeah, boys, to men, apparently. What's your favorite broadway soundtrack at this moment?
Starting point is 00:22:47 Oh gosh, at this moment in time, I really like the Mean Girls soundtrack. That one's really good. Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, the blonde lady, Amy Poler, it's unforgettable. That's good stuff. You got this, the whole cast list. Amanda Sifreed, that's her name. Uh-huh. Mama Mia. Next one, thank you next by Ariana Grande or every breath you take by the police. Well, considering every breath you take is actually a song about stalking.
Starting point is 00:23:19 Let's stick to the song about self-love. Thank you next, we are Ariana Grande. There's a clip on YouTube of Sting and Springsteen singing every breath you take and they're just jamming and they're loaded It's a classic, but I just can't get behind the meaning of the song. I can't well if you're concerned with the meaning of the song This next one might not be great love hurts by Naz by Nazareth or Bye-Bye-Bitch Bye-Bye by Motorhead. I can't say I know either of the songs, so which one would you think? Oh, probably Bye-Bye-Bitch Bye-Bye.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Is that like a motto, something you say in your head on the way to work in the morning? Oh, yeah, as I'm reading those apps, definitely. That's a good choice. Love Hurts is a classic a classic rock song those I'll send you that one as well Okay, last one. I think you're gonna like this F you by C. Low green or crime your river by Justin Timberlake I love Justin Timberlake not just as a singer or a performer, but he's just a really lovely human being to look at So I'm going to take crime you're ever. Okay, well, Alexa cools off over there. We're going to take our half-time
Starting point is 00:24:33 intermission and read a couple advertisements. I do want to mention first and foremost, I should have done this at the beginning, I completely forgot. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who donated to our Pledge Drive fundraiser. I thought we had wrapped it up, and then yesterday, we get another donation, so we're going to be reaching out to Tariq about that. Thank you so much. But we are pretty much at $300 now.

Starting point is 00:27:33 for well over a year, doing great things. And don't forget, when God speaks, he uses a Samsung. Last thing here, I've been talking about the TV guide for a while. You know, I used my Delta Spirit Air Martial Points to get a TV guide subscription for this year. In it, I ordered it like two months ago and I got, you know, nothing thinking, boy, I'm never going to get a TV guide with John Goodman on the cover promoting the Conners and saying, he's back. Well, low and behold, this week,
Starting point is 00:28:11 you know what comes in the mail, a copy of my TV guide with Tom Selleck from Bluebloods on the cover. His mustache has never looked better. A lot of people don't know this. Tom Selleck is like 87, but he's still kicking it. So good on him, and I have my TV guide as a reminder, I don't own a TV, but at least I know what's on. So let's get back into our interview here. We've been talking with Alexa Brown, LoveCore, Spondent on the Bean Tom podcast. This is our Valentine's Day episode. We've discussed the meaning of love. We've gone through some dating app tips. We've talked about
Starting point is 00:28:52 different houses, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, etc. And we finished up with Rapid Fire Love Songs. So now we're going gonna dig a little bit more into the Valentine's Day spirit. And we're gonna start off with Valentine's Day gifts. So this is a little bit more like a today show segment. Just call me Al Roker. So Alexa, welcome back to the program. What are some Valentine's Day gifts that you got your eye on this year? Considering my Valentine's Day gifts will probably be
Starting point is 00:29:26 coming from my parents again. I'm hoping maybe a Starbucks gift card, maybe some brownies, food is always really solid. Like brownies or like Colorado brownies? Like normal brownies, Quinn. So that's confusing because in Colorado it's reversed, you know? Flip Flops. I understand. Yeah. What's your what's your drink order at Starves?
Starting point is 00:29:51 Um right now it is probably a London fog lotte because I'm fancy like that. Now for those of us who've never heard of that, what does that include? It's Earl Grey tea and milk. So no coffee. No. This is why we're losing so badly to China. You go to Starbucks and we're not even ordering coffee anymore. Do you get the the tall, the Ariana Grande, the venti Triple, or the Deluxe Size.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Grande, purely average when it comes to my order. I think if you ever have a perfume line, you can call it purely average. I think that sounds great. Well, this next question is one I've been meaning to ask ever since I wrote it two days ago. The Russell Stover Whitman's giant sampler of assorted chocolates is a popular Valentine's gift. We all know this, but it's also famous for being an extremely risky mind field of different chocolates. It's like you're playing battlefield with sweetness. What's your strategy when it comes to picking out
Starting point is 00:30:58 chocolates from the box? I actually like to do this with other people, so we recently did this in my office, but I did get a smaller sample box for Gallantine's day yesterday. And my strategy is to do it with multiple people around me, and they're also participating in this challenge because if one goes down, we all go down together most likely. I'm glad you said that. And I'm also glad you brought up the Russell Stover Whitman's Giant Sampler Box, because I've got a friend, and I've done the same thing you've done, except my friend
Starting point is 00:31:34 is allergic to coconut. And so we like to play this game as well. And it's sort of a Russian roulette type of situation. It can really bring some spark, some energy to your Valentine's Day. Because you don't know if, you know, five minutes everyone's going to be satisfied with their chocolate choices or if you're going to be riding an ambulance to the ER. So I like what you're saying there.
Starting point is 00:31:55 If we all go down, we go down together. Yeah. It sounds like, it sounds like you and Anna Kendrick. When it comes to precious gems, which ones are you feeling this Valentine's Day? What do you like? I am trying to think. I'm not really into a ton of jewelry.
Starting point is 00:32:17 I won't be buying myself any of that, obviously. So again, food-related ring pops awesome. Do you like the big hoops? Like hoopie or eggs? Yeah. I can't say I wear those very often either. I'm going to buy you some big hoops, okay? Okay. I'm making a note right now.
Starting point is 00:32:38 When it, what are your top tips for men shopping at Victoria's Secret this Valentine's Day? I would typically say don't. That sounds like a risky maneuver to me. But however, we already discussed that my love language is quality time and I really like food. So if we just stick to the tried and true categories, you know, I think venturing into Victoria's Secret
Starting point is 00:33:02 is it's risky territory unless you know exactly what you're looking for. I like to go into the victorious secret and get those booty shorts that have fun words or phrases right across the cheeks. My favorites would be Juicy or Insert Here. What do you like? I'm not sure I like either of those. It's not very classy. What about a create your own? Okay, let me interrupt you right there. You just said it. You got the perfect idea. It's classy, but the ASS are in all caps. Oh no, I walked right into that one.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Oh man, you got so many good ideas. I'm so glad we made this happen. Okay. Last question here about gifts. If you're a failing podcast toast from Baltimore and the most important lady in your life is your mother, what are your tips for gifts this year? Oh my gosh, I don'tie you can go wrong with flowers. I think my mom would always appreciate stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:34:09 So flowers are really great. You know, and if you're out of town, that's also the best method of doing that. Is getting those delivers a phone call, right? I just, I don't want to send mixed signals. You know? Because that sound like a lot of work. It sounds like what I do for Mother's Day. Right? I just, I don't want to send mixed signals. You know? Does that sound like a lot of work? It sounds like what I do for Mother's Day.
Starting point is 00:34:30 And this all sounds like it's getting too commercial. You know, that's what Valentine's Day is. That's the cynic and neat. Valentine's Day is a very commercial holiday quit. What if I got my mom some big hoops? You know you just have to know if she's going to wear them or not. I think she likes big hoops about as much as she likes a hole in the head. And say it sounds a little risky too. Yeah, I got a lot to think about.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Good thing Valentine's Day isn't until 30th day. That's true. Yeah. We got one last category here I want to get to. Sexy Valentine's Day date ideas. I think this is where you're really going to bring it home. Now, the obvious choice for a sexy Valentine's Day date
Starting point is 00:35:18 would be an intimate dinner at Chili's. But it is worth noting at this point, and by the time you're listening to it, it might be Monday or Tuesday. Those chilies are going to be all booked up Thursday night. Reservations were probably thinking like two months ago. All your area chilies filled. Because what's better than being with the ones you love and chips and guac? I mean frankly, chips and guac are the ones that I love. But
Starting point is 00:35:46 chips and guac. I mean, frankly, chips and guac are the ones that I love. But getting back to the question here, something that a lot of couples, and I think you've done the selector like to do is naked night, which is exactly what it sounds like. What are your thoughts on naked night? I would say first of all that you are wrong in assuming that I have done that. However, you know, I support you doing whatever you want to do on Valentine's Day. I'm really sad that Chili's is probably going to be booked up. That sounds like my ideal Valentine's Day date. So I don't even know how you could get over
Starting point is 00:36:18 that not being a possibility. But if naked night is the only thing that you have on the books, then go for it. Well, naked juice. You ever drink that stuff? Yeah. That, to me, seems like a commercial racket. You're paying like $4 for juice. I don't get it. Oh, but the mango one's so good. Better than naked night?
Starting point is 00:36:45 Probably. I just... I don't know how that's possible. Naked night sounds like every night for me in the summer, because it's like 90 degrees out here. And this might be an overshare, but when it's summer and I live alone and I'm just chilling at home, we're going no clothes all the time. You're not the only person to do that.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Zero judgment from over here. Are you speaking from personal experience? I am not. I'm saying just give it a try. One of these summer nights. I don't know what it's like in Colorado. But I'm just saying naked night, whether you're in a committed relationship
Starting point is 00:37:26 with another person or committed relationship with your local chiles, it can be a big win on Valentine's Day. So give it a try. We'll bring you back and we'll, you know, after you try it out and you can share your thoughts with us. Another popular option for Valentine's Day dates, if you can't get into
Starting point is 00:37:47 chilies, is the sexy survey that breaks the ice, improves your time in the bedroom, in more ways than one. What are some of your favorite sexy survey questions? What do you like to ask your partner to really get in the mood this Valentine's Day? Well we discussed the beginning of this podcast that I am of the potentially sangover idea of women, so I can't say that I have ventured into the territory of many of these questions, but I also didn't look up the quiz when you sent it to me. So do you want to share some of your favorite questions, Quinn? I'm gonna have to open it. So we're going to vixendaily.com,
Starting point is 00:38:34 which is also my homepage on my internet browser. Ooh, sexy pictures. NSFW. I like to say NSFW, not safe for work, but safe for the podcast. So we're going to jump right down to the Super Naughty Questions list. Let's see. Oh, you'll like this one. You'll feel very comfortable.
Starting point is 00:39:00 What's the weirdest sexual fantasy you have? I feel very comfortable with this question. No. Yeah, these questions only make me super uncountsy, in short. Let's see. It's a question about toys. I'm not going to ask that one. Let's see, have you ever had a threesome? See, Quinn, we're close, but we're not that close.
Starting point is 00:39:32 See, this is, we're getting closer because of the super naughty questions list. I'm thinking like Hufflepuff after hours. Yada, yada, yada, there's got to be some good Harry Potter fan fiction out there. Oh, I've got there is I again can't say that I really have ventured into that territory because it's probably pretty weird. But yes, I would assume that that exists. Okay, last super naughty question and this one where you're getting really wild. What clothes do you have on right now? This is gonna be super sexy. I am wearing leggings and
Starting point is 00:40:13 one of those spirit jerseys which were really popular in about the time frame from like early 2013 to mid 2015 early 2013 to mid 2015 like every sorority girl in college were them which is exactly who I was when I bought it and my hair is up in a bun no makeup on it is a no makeup Sunday it's a Sunday wind down what you got it yeah I feel you I've got one last question here and then we're gonna make it light again strip poker
Starting point is 00:40:50 We've all played it. We all love it the greatest part about strip poker is when you lose Everyone else wins. What's your wildest strip poker story? I am really terrible at improvising so I have no fun stories to share with you of that variety, but I have a feeling that you do, Quinn. You are in a sorority in college. Come on. Give me the good stuff. Hey, now that I feel like is making an assumption. Oh, absolutely. And I'm thinking I could get booty shorts that have assumption on it and the ASS's and all caps. I feel like you would probably be right.
Starting point is 00:41:26 That is probably available on Etsy or something. I love Etsy. I should open an Etsy shop. I think you have some pretty creative ideas about merchandise so far. Yeah, I'm a very sexually creative merchandise person. Alexa, you've been a champ. You've been a trooper. You answered these questions even though I gave them to like 48 hours ago. What do you actually do in Thursday night? Probably nothing. I will probably be sitting in my apartment cooking some
Starting point is 00:42:06 Ravially from Trader Joe's hashtag not sponsored. And then I will probably be watching some true crime documentary. I just watched the Ted Bundy Confessions tapes. I haven't been able to sleep for the last week. What are your thoughts on the whole Zach Efron Ted Bundy thing? I'm really excited to see the movie still because Zac Efron is just one hell of a good looking man but pretty creepy but I think pretty accurate based on everything that happened in that whole situation. Did you see the the Zach Efron Instagram post with his brother?
Starting point is 00:42:47 Uh, which post? I don't know. I saw BuzzFeed article about it like two days ago. Oh, that effect that his brother is equally well, somewhat equally attractive as he is. He's got better abs. Oh, I don't know. I feel like they're competitive. I guess we're gonna have to go look at this after we finish recording. All right, well, bean town podcast. You have any parting thoughts while you have the platform to speak to the world?
Starting point is 00:43:18 I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day, whether you are spending it with someone special, aka significant other, or that significant other is someone in your family, or you're just spending it by yourself, and just a love and your meantime. I like that. I appreciate that. Alexa Brown, thank you very much for coming on the podcast.
