Welcome to the Bean Town podcast by and for Quinn David Furnace host with the most most banged my guitar against my knee.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Quinn David Furnace beat geez what's geez. Get a room man. Quinn David Fernis come to you live from 817 St. Paul Street. I'm moving the coffee table. What's happening? This is me, this is my voice. That was cheap trick. Pride of rock for Dylan O'Hall was talking to a coworker about this today. We somehow
Starting point is 00:04:07 got on the topic of that 70s show and I may or may not have said that I think Ashen Cooters gonna win an Oscar at some point. However, the question arose. I was aroused. Who sings the that 70s show theme song? And of course, being from Rockford, that 70s show is a Wisconsin show, Wisconsin. I know the answer. It is of course cheap trick. Rick Nielsen and those other two guys. So, there's some good trivia,oidal Asian for you. My name is
Starting point is 00:04:47 Quinn David Furnace and I apologize for what you just heard and what you're about to hear, but that's sort of how this show goes. You know, it was about a year ago we were two months in, probably a little bit less than that, but about two months into our bean town podcast and the fans are clamoring, you know, as they are want to do. They're clamoring and saying, Quint, we would love some, you know, intro, outro music.
Starting point is 00:05:15 I think the fans will really identify with that. All the top podcasts have that. And so I said, you're right. Intro, outro, good stuff. But, you know, we're a low key, low budget, low cost operation here at the Bean hub podcast. So we can't afford the expensive licensing, marketing, trademark, copyright, branding rules that go into the American legal code these days. So I said, don't worry about it. I'll handle it myself.
Starting point is 00:05:54 And we've been handling it ever since. So YouTube, SoundCloud, wherever you listen to your podcast, please don't take it down. I'm honoring the great, cheap trick trick and we're having a good time Welcome to the bean-ton podcast six and a half minutes in for Saturday March Second bean-ton podcast one of Baltimore City's top 500 podcasts also known as the Peoples podcast in some circles This is Quinn David furnace. I am your host for the evening. Whenever you're listening to your podcasts, I'm sitting here in 817 St. Paul Street,
Starting point is 00:06:31 Homestead as I like to call it, drinking a little bit of bourbon. First things first, listener discretion is advised when you're listening to the Bean Tom podcast. Number one, we occasionally use some objectionable language. Number two, the podcast is objectively terrible. So consider yourself for warned mercy. Okay, I think we got all the semantics out of the way. Big thanks. Before we do anything else, big thanks to special guest, friend of the podcast,
Starting point is 00:07:05 man whose couch I have slept on many times, and man who coached me when I was an uncouchable middle school basketball player, Ryan Austin, like in all of the above are true, for coming out of the podcast last week and what can only be described as tradition, doing our Oscars special. A lot of attention was given to the Oscars monologue this year because there was no host, so I stepped in and said look a host said I'll do the monologue, don't worry about it, I wrote it, I produced it, I directed it, I filmed it, I edited it, yada yada yada, but I don't want this to go under the rug and by this I made Ryan coming out of the podcast for 90 minutes to make his Oscars picks.
Starting point is 00:07:50 This man came out here, sat through all my rambling, all my pretentiousness pretending to actually know movies and made a fool of us all and won the pool this year. So, congratulations to Ryan, your prize would have been in the mail if there was a prize. So, congratulations to Ryan, I think official count, I'm trying to, I think what did we end up? You said 16 or 17, right? Something like that, maybe 15, I don't remember. More than I got, more than anybody else I know got. So congratulations to you, Ryan Austin Liggan. Thank you so much again for coming out of the podcast, giving us your time. Always a pleasure. Welcome back anytime.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Big announcement. Next week, you will guys all knew this was coming. You weren't quite sure when it was going to happen though.'s happening next week taxes live on air we're gonna have w-2s there are gonna be five four nine eights I can maybe hint at a 10 98 t a miscellaneous form we'll see what's gonna happen I'm not sure I'll t some of those things but as traditional and haven't we will be joined by another dear friend of the podcast. This is literally you guys are having a good especially if you just started listening to Bean Town podcast now if you're a new listener welcome. You guys are getting like the all-star lineup because last week you get
Starting point is 00:09:18 Ryan Austin Liggin this week you're getting buzzed Quinn next week you're getting tax specialists and original friend of the podcast and in some circles maybe maybe consider the co-creator depends on who you ask. Matthew Feeder coming on the podcast to do our taxes live and you know tax season, tax days in what, about 40 days here. So he's gonna walk you through all the big updates to the tax code. He knows the IRS like it's his birthday.
Starting point is 00:09:53 So it's all very exciting. Well, that's coming up next week on the podcast. You're not going to want to miss it. It is always one of our best shows every year, or at least it was the first year. So, what are we actually doing today? Well, you might have seen my social media post yesterday day before I remember when it was
Starting point is 00:10:15 Thursday or Friday. I've been lying pretty low on social media. This week, the Oscars Monologue last week was amazing, but it was also just between the actual production of it and the writing and all that. That's a lot of work. But then all the promotional stuff, the red carpet, honestly, it was just a lot. And that's the thing too, and you're a low budget operation.
Starting point is 00:10:40 You know, I don't have a producer, I don't have a writing team. We're doing that all ourselves over here at the Bean Tom podcast. So to have that all sort of come together the way it did was awesome, but also is just physically exhausting. And this is a, I'll make this point like to a certain degree, I'm always joking to some extent when it comes to the Bean Tom podcast, but actually as much fun as I had like doing the whole Oscars model, like that whole thing was exhausting.
Starting point is 00:11:08 I loved it. I'll do it again next year if they need another host, but the whole thing was exhausting. So I took a couple days, not like I wasn't doing like a social media fast or social media cleanser, I was still checking stuff, but in terms of like the grind of tweeting
Starting point is 00:11:23 and Instagram posts and Facebook stuff, all that stuff, but even the bean-tongued blog, I kind of take a day off. I wrote about the Oscars on Tuesday morning because I really needed Monday to just be like, I can't do anything. So I finally got around to doing bean-tongued blog stuff on Tuesday, but otherwise this week I was lying pretty low. And that's extending to the podcast this week. There are a couple new things, a couple interesting things that are happening. For one, we're gonna be focusing this up
Starting point is 00:11:51 so that a little bit on the TV guide, which is always very exciting. We've been talking about the TV guide and the podcast for the last two or three months, but I'm just sort of in passing this week. We're actually digging into it. We're gonna briefly mention horse names real quick because Kentucky Derby is only what two months away here so I want to bring that up.
Starting point is 00:12:13 We have a new sponsor, probably going to be the highlight I would think of this episode, this installment of the Bean Tom podcast. So that's sort of what's coming up, it's not going to be a long podcast. I promised that to you right off the bat. Why? Because one, don't have a ton to talk about too. I'm sort of like buzzed. I'm going to finish my bourbon. We're going to upload and I'm going to bed. I worked a full day today and not full like six hours full like I was at work at eight and I left at like 4.30. So pretty tired. Yeah, so I don't, I physically don't have that much that I want to share because I'm tired.
Starting point is 00:12:52 So let's do this. I didn't even mention this on the upcoming things, but this is something that has been brought up in conversation for a couple of different conversations that I've had recently. And some people that I talk to are like, oh, yeah, that's crazy. And they get into it.
Starting point is 00:13:16 And they give it, I was saying, other people don't give to F's. So I figured the podcast will probably lean one way or the other, or at least the friends of the podcast. So let's bring this point up. The Bible, the Old Testament religion. I don't get into it too often. You all know that I think I even set that like standard my first podcast January 2018.
Starting point is 00:13:43 I think it says, we're not going to do religion, not going to do politics I don't know I have to listen back to it. I don't care I will occasionally dabble into the religion thing though, and it's not it's always pertaining to Christianity because that's what 95% Of my listeners are are familiar with can identify with etc. I'm never the person to come on here and bash Christianity, Christians, that's, bash isn't a good word. I do like to point out things that are particularly perplexing or rub me the wrong way, ish, for instance.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Last Easter episode, whenever that was April 2018, something like that. We had our Passover episode, and I made a joke about passing over the veggies and going for the carbs. It was, it killed, got like five or six left. We spent a lot of time in the book of Exodus talking about whatever it is, the 10th plague, is that the 10th and final, not sure,
Starting point is 00:14:44 not a, not a theologian, it's a good word, theologian. But the one where God basically sends the angel of death, which angel of death, like, hold up there, I don't think I spent a lot of time talking about this on the podcast back in the Easter 2018, but like, what the hell, there's an angel of death like damn what? That's a thing. Okay. Maybe I'm overly perplexed by this because I'm three drinks in, but there's an ethnic angel of death like, oh, yikes. He sends the angel of death down to Cairo or wherever they're stationed out there
Starting point is 00:15:27 in ancient Egypt. And unless there's blood, lambs blood, by the way, there's a lot of sacrificing in the Bible, and not like the small ball kind. A lot of sacrificing in the Bible, if you don't have blood, lambs blood smeared, smeared over the front of your door or something like that, then God, the angel of death is going to like omnipresently, omnisciently, and omnipotently sneak through the crack of your door and kill your first born son. Sneak through the crack of your door and kill your firstborn son I want to know what the autopsy reveals on that Imagine being a doctor in ancient Egypt and You know you get the call in the middle of the night. Oh my son is what what's wrong? He's not breathing He go do the autopsy and
Starting point is 00:16:20 What what signs are you even looking for? You know does the angel of death like leave a is there like a signature? Does the angel of death leave a, is there a signature move that the angel of death does and thinking like a fixation or something? What do they do? Do they choke them out? What's the deal? Bleed to death?
Starting point is 00:16:38 Internal bleeding? I don't even know if the autopsy's could reveal internal bleeding back in each and each of you. But I'm getting off the topic here. because I haven't even gotten to my actual point. This is just recap at this point. So I will occasionally do things like that where I just point out the fact that God is a dick. Well I'm not gonna talk about how God is a dick on this episode but I do want to draw attention to Exodus chapter seven. So if you're pretending that I am a preacher
Starting point is 00:17:09 or something at this point, then you can turn. I always thought that was weird and you go to church and you'd be like, now turn to Exodus chapter seven. That's what the PowerPoint is for. Honestly, like who uses books anymore? Who uses Bibles? Give me the PowerPoint. Yeah, so Exodus chapter 7
Starting point is 00:17:28 And I got the King James version because I just figured it seemed a lot more holy So Exodus 7 and the Lord said unto Moses and I'll tell you when I'm getting to the good part See I have made the a God to Pharaoh, an Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. Pharaoh is a tough word to spell. pH, it's your first trick, AR, AOH, weird combination of letters, AOH.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Thou shalt speak all that I command thee, an Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land. Now did Moses have like an officially diagnosed speech impediment or was he just like, oh, I can't do it. Send someone who has a better orator. Did he have like a doctor's note?
Starting point is 00:18:18 Could they diagnose that stuff in ancient Egypt? I have questions. Continuing on, and I will harden Pharaoh's heart and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt. And that's the Lord talking. Now, and this isn't, again, my overall point, we're getting there, I promise, but the Lord spends a lot of time in Exodus, hardening, like intentionally hardening the Pharaoh's heart. What, like, isn't that the opposite? intentionally hardening the Pharaoh's heart. What, like, isn't that the opposite? Like, I literally feel like,
Starting point is 00:18:47 and this is all coming together, because the Egyptians were brown, Jesus, or not Jesus, the Lord, L.O.R.D. in all caps, God, had this, like, raging heart on to where he wanted to harden Pharaoh's heart so much that eventually he felt justified in using the 10th plague to kill all the sons.
Starting point is 00:19:09 And I don't even know why he needed to feel justified because God answers to God, but total dick move. Continuing on here, chapter 4, the Pharaoh shall not harken unto you that I may lay my hand upon Egypt and bring forth mine armies and my people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by thy great judgments. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord when I stretch forth my hand upon Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from among them. And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them. So did they. That's kind of a fragment. And Moses was four score years old. That's 80. And Aaron was four score and three years old when they spoke unto Pharaoh. And the Lord spake, spake, unto Moses,
Starting point is 00:19:59 and unto Aaron, saying, when Pharaoh shall speak unto you,, shoe a miracle for you, then thou shalt say unto Aaron, take thy rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent. So here's my problem. The Bible, it's a good read, got some good parables, parable, great word, fun word to say. It's got some interesting history, right? Old Testament. Crazy stuff going on in there. You ever read the book of Leviticus? I haven't. What's it about? I don't know. There's like 67 other books though. But one thing that you don't really think about when you think of the Bible is magic.
Starting point is 00:20:50 Specifically in that term, right? You might think of Jesus okay, water and wine, fish and loaves, etc., etc., but we don't consider that magic. We don't call that magic. That's like a Jesus miracle. Magic miracle. They're different things. So if you if you ask a Christian, you know, your your average white Christian, what, you know, magic in the Bible, that's not a thing. Or they say, no, magic, that's not a thing. It doesn't, doesn't exist. Not my, hashtag, not my Bible. Well, that's when I open up Exodus 7, and I say, now check out this part, when the Lord tells Aaron to cast down his rod, and it turns into a snake,
Starting point is 00:21:34 continuing on here. And Moses and Aaron went in on to Pharaoh, and they did so as the Lord had commanded. And Aaron listened closely, this is from the horse's mouth. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants and became a serpent. Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers, now the magicians of Egypt. They also did in like manner with their enchantments. For they cast down every man his rod and they became servants. But Aaron's rods swallowed up their rods and he hard and Pharaoh's heart and that he harkened not unto them as the Lord had said and the chapter goes on for another 11 verses, but it's talking about different stuff. Holy cow, are you like, what?
Starting point is 00:22:30 Just casual magic. I like that. And I think if I was ever gonna start like a punk band or something, I think I might call it casual magic. But like, exit is seven. If you're like, magic's not a thing, but you're also like a hardcore Christian
Starting point is 00:22:47 and you take a literal interpretation of the Bible, then what's the deal? What's with these rods becoming serpents? That I have questions. I'm gonna leave it there because we got other stuff to get to. And I promise I wasn't gonna get long and now we're gonna get long.
Starting point is 00:23:04 So sip a bourbon and we'll keep going. By the way my drinking habits are harcaning back, not my drinking habits. Who am I drinking? It's like who you're wearing on the red carpet, the wet carpet. Who I am wearing. Is a callback to the bean town on plug special bourbon tasting. That's not one of the higher profile bean town
Starting point is 00:23:35 on plugs we've done. And it kind of just came out of nowhere, but we were in Lexington last fall, September, I suppose, maybe late or early October, sometime in there. We did bourbon tasting. There's a live stream on it, a live stream of it on my YouTube channel. And we also have the audio as a bean town unplugged.
Starting point is 00:23:55 But I got four different bourbons and it tasted all of them. I'm drinking Makers Mark tonight, which was like the fancy one. The last one I tasted as part of my taste test. I did like early times, gym beam, another one of apologies for forgetting it, and then I did Makers Mark. So I bought Makers Mark. I bought, what did they call it, a fifth, something like that.
Starting point is 00:24:18 At my local liquor store, I did spend more than I typically would. Just on my straight liquor. I think whatever I bought was like, it's not a fifth, it's bigger than that. I paid like 30, 35 bucks or something like that. And I, you know, I'm probably getting eight drinks out of it, eight to ten drinks. So good value still. But yeah, I don't normally spend that much, but I was feeling bougie like a month ago when I bought it. So, I usually have one or two drinks a weekend. It lasts me a little while.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Let's read some ads here. Let's dig in. We have got some ads to read. So, we shall get started off with Home Pride organ as we like to do.

Starting point is 00:26:04 It's spec-shin-perfect. I want to give a shout-out to the Samsung Q2U series stuck with us through thick and thin. Did a fantastic job of capturing the audio quality of our Oscars special last week working double-duty, fantastic quality. Just remember, when God speaks, he uses a Samson. I want to give a shout out to the TV guide, which we're going to be focusing our attention on here in the second half of the podcast. Thank you to my Delta Airlines Skyline Miles for hooking me up with a year's worth of TV guide subscriptions. I'm really looking forward to the copy, the edition, when the conners are coming back without Rosanne, so it's no longer Rosanne. It's called the Conners.
Starting point is 00:27:05 And there's a picture, excuse me, of a famous actor, John Goodman on the cover. And the front headline just says, he's back and the Conners debuts this Monday on ABC. Something that we did a couple weeks ago, I reckoned two or three weeks ago Garrison Keeler impression it wasn't strong, but it was fun And I had fun and I heard that the listeners had fun too. So here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna pick that back up
Starting point is 00:27:41 I'm not confident in it. It's not very good But I figure hey you try it out a little bit each week, it's going to get better. So I'm going to have some more bourbon and then we're going to try a new section and then we also have a new ad to read. This is really exciting, but we're going to try it in the garrison killer voice. If it works great, if not, then we'll do it in a normal voice next time. So let's see how this goes. And I feel like I need some intro music or else I'm just kind of jumping into the birthday here. So we're going to start by reading some birthdays on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Jessica Beale, board in Eli Minnesota, my home state, actress, seventh heaven, Mary to pop star, Justin Timberlake. Jessica turns 37 today, happy birthday to Jessica. Bryce Dalles Howard, whom you might know from the Jurassic Park series, famous daughter of Ron Howard, who was the end of Griffith show. Bryce turns 38 today. Congratulations and happy birthday to Bryce. Mr. Chris Martin from England, X-Dur to be specific.
Starting point is 00:28:59 You know him from the band Coldplay, Viva Levita, Cox, Yellow, and some of the recent crap. Used to be married to Gwyneth Paltrow, sons and daughters, Apple, and Moses. Chris Turds, 42 today, which is fun because 42 is a song from the album Viva Lovita. So happy birthday to all the friends of the podcast and let's not read an ad from a new sponsor, cut's by Q. Bob and weave, we all know the hairstyle,
Starting point is 00:29:41 we all love it. How many midtown Baltimore-based independent barbers can actually give it to you the way you deserve? Enter cuts by Q. It's like enter Sandman but different. Cuts by Q has been independently owned and operated since 1995 and is probably one of the better barber shop organizations serving Baltimore City, Baltimore County and Cook County Illinois. From B Hives to Bangs, Fohawks to Flat Topps and everything in between Cuts by Q at 815 298 7200 or email Cuts by Q at Yahoo dot com. That's Cuts Q T Z by Q at Yahoo dot com. Oh,
Starting point is 00:30:36 When you need a fresh do something snabby and new call the experts at Cuts by Q. Okay, so pros and cons, pros. I got through it without like any major missteps. I will say the tune of the song, which I was thinking around on my way home from the bar tonight. I didn't sing it the way I envisioned it. I kind of started off in the wrong key and then I just never could quite save it, but I had fun regardless. Uh, cons, my garrison killer. It's very one dimensional. I was start up here and then I kind of get lower and I sort of end right here. And it's kind of a little bit more Paul Harvey and the guy from Dateline. But we will continue to practice it. That's literally something
Starting point is 00:31:32 I've like physically tried to do probably three times in my life. And once was before live on the podcast. So yeah, critical or constructive criticism, comments, conjecture, all that stuff, email, bean-town podcast, Yahoo.com, this bean-town, B-E-A-N-T, you know, the podcast at Yahoo.com. But thank you to the sponsors, right? We're building a library here. We've got Home Pride Oregon. We have the SAMHSA and Q2U series, TV Guide on official sponsor, and now introducing cuts by Q. So, Jack links, if you're out there listening to this, which we all assume you
Starting point is 00:32:12 are, feel free to jump in anytime. You have my proposal, it was very generous to you. It's easy money for both of us, so just things to consider. One quick thing before we kind of finish up here with the TV guide. Last year for the Kentucky Derby, we did, and it wasn't the Kentucky Derby. I was in Boston visiting co-hosts of the Card Connolly's podcast and re-conerting it, Ryan Austin, Lig and the Christian English for that. I don't know when it was. We did our top 10 favorite horse names, not favorite horse names. These are my top 10 horse names names that I've developed.
Starting point is 00:32:53 I've created. It was originally intended to be a one time thing. And then I realized, you know what? I'm good at this. I'm good at horse names. So let me, uh, let me give you a quick refresher and we'll do this again when we get to the 2019 version. This is not I'm not about to give you the top 10 2019 horse names. I just hear the thing. I was talking to a friend and I
Starting point is 00:33:19 said a word that made me think, oh my God, this is a perfect name for Top 10 Horse names 2019. And right now it's the front runner. Now I've only thought of one. So of course, it's going to be the front runner like that huge Jackman movie that I didn't see. But I really like it. But let's give you a quick refresher on the 2018 Top 10 Horse names. And then we'll do this again in a couple months. But just to sort of kick this off, I'll just give you a ton, not gonna waste time. Episcopalian, Anheuser Bitch, Slum Dog, Leanne Thompson, Tykonda Roge, Unacorta,
Starting point is 00:33:56 Stanford Raffles, Darth Vader Ginsburg, Mud Dobber, and Richard Hidalgo. So, you're probably all thinking, well, Quinn, what's the amazing horse team be thought of for 2019? Again, currently it's number one. We got to develop another nine though. Penta took. Penta took.
Starting point is 00:34:19 I effing love it. It's perfect. It's just like a Piscopalian. I know they're both religious. I get it. It's perfect. It's just like a Piscopalian. I know they're both religious. I get it. I obviously that's where my biases in terms of a really good name. But come on.
Starting point is 00:34:33 A Piscopalian was an amazing horse name. You want to know another amazing one? Pentecost. Right? It's got everything. It's got kind of that specific knowledge. It's got that twist, right? Either culture or religion or like entertainment or history, anything like that.
Starting point is 00:34:52 It's got that twist to it. It's really fun to say, pentatook. And it comes from a whole different language, right? It's Hebrew. It's it's the perfect perfect horse name. So we're going to have a hard time topping it. I think that's going to be number one for this year. I'm not going to commit to that because we got another couple months to figure things out. But right now the front runner, the lead horse, no pun intended for top 10 2019 horse names is pen to took. If you don't know what that means, ask your Jewish grandparents, whatever. So, we are at 35 minutes in here. I mentioned this on the podcast a couple of weeks ago that we finally did after a lot of speculation
Starting point is 00:35:37 that it might be a scam. We finally did get our first ever copy of the TV guide. It was Tom Selec on the front, timeless promoting blue bloods. And we got another TV guide this week. So, on the cover, the first thing you'll notice is that it's two people I've never seen before. The opening headline is, oh, it's a double issue double issue the opening is there a TV
Starting point is 00:36:07 guy every week or every month confused NCIS LA wedding can see and deeks tie the knot first thing you'll notice here NCIS LA that six letters two acronyms I know the second one is Los Angeles but what is NCIS I've that's six letters, two acronyms. I know the second one is Los Angeles, but what is NCIS? I've heard of it before, I don't know what the acronym is. NCIS, national crime investigation scene. Maybe it's oftentimes in the international world, you'll see an acronym that's like French and the letters don't line up in English and you're like this doesn't make any sense but I guess we'll
Starting point is 00:36:51 use this acronym. Maybe that's what NCIS is. Donnie Walberg's new crime show, well that could be interesting. I don't know anything about Donnie Walberg other than that he's related to Mark Walberg. He probably wouldn't be too happy if I said that. So we open it up here. We're seeing what's on the inside. There's, oh, you'll like this. The very first page on the inside is an advertisement for a brand called Leap, L-E-A-P,
Starting point is 00:37:23 vaping for adults leap vapor dot com not for sale the miners what's the what's the deal with vape is it the exact same thing as cigarettes except it's not smoking its vapor and if so what's the difference between smoke and vapor because it's not like someone's vaping and you see them doing a movie theater
Starting point is 00:37:44 and you you can doing a movie theater and you you can't see the remnants vapor smoke whatever you want to call it you still see it it looks like smoke so if it's there's the same purpose of smoking it looks like smoke what's the deal is it healthier I don't know I don't get the whole electronic thing though everyone's always on their phones and their jewel pods and they're doing their e-sigs. The next page, America's Got Changes. Heidi Klum, Mel B, and Tyra Banks won't return to America's Got Talent. Consummers number one show stay on top. So I don't know who Mel B is. Tyra Banks, I thought she did the project runway show. Apparently, allegedly, I'm looking at this picture,
Starting point is 00:38:32 Howie Mandel, still on television. Who knew? And Simon Cowell. At what point did Simon Cowell go from American Idol to America's Got Talent and be like, I'm still not in Britain. The Breaking Bad Movie as a go. Fire up the meth labs. That's a hook. More intel is being revealed about the Breaking Bad Movie.
Starting point is 00:39:00 So I'm looking at a picture of Brian Cranston and Aaron Paul. People are like, well, is Brian Cranstonston gonna be in the movie. There's no fucking way You can't put Brian Cranston in apologies for my efflige's you can't put Brian Cranston in the breaking bad movie. That's just if you and Vinceville Vince Gilligan is smart enough to know this if you make a movie after Vince Gilligan is smart enough to know this. If you make a movie after the TV series, and all of a sudden Brian Cranston is still kicking, then it totally negates the whole power, the impact of the last season of Breaking Bad, which is basically like Walter White's funeral.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Right, you don't realize that until you've actually watched the whole thing, but the whole he, Walter White got his edge, got his spark from like avoiding the law, right? Running up against the higher ups, whether it's Tukko, whether it's Gus, whomever. When he finally gets on top, it's, he's the only place he has to go is down. And he goes down very, very quickly, but you don't need me to tell you that, scanning, oh, there's Gina Rodriguez.
Starting point is 00:40:17 I saw this on Twitter today. Gina Rodriguez is gonna be part of the new cast of a Scooby DooDoo animated film but voiced by her. I don't know if she's doing Velma or Louise. I don't know which character she's doing. But I saw this which was very interesting. And I don't remember the actor's name.
Starting point is 00:40:35 It's not Martin Lawrence. He's white. He's from SLC Punk. And he played Shaggy on the two live action remakes with Freddie Prince Jr. They didn't even ask him and that's kind of not cool if he wanted to do the voice for Shaggy. So bad on you, whatever movie studio is making that company. Whisk or whatever movie shoes making that movie. Whiskey Cavalier. How many ads did we see for Whiskey Cavalier during the Oscars?
Starting point is 00:41:08 It was Whiskey Diculous. Seriously, every commercial break was one commercial Whiskey Cavalier, one commercial for a Google. I don't even remember what they were, but it was for Google. And then one commercial for something else It's also it has that fully guy. What's his full name? I don't know who was on scrubs He plays the the the the aquarium That's not right the seal trainer the dolphin trainer the whale trainer something like that
Starting point is 00:41:44 Sean The whale trainer something like that Sean is that his name? I don't know One of Sarah Chauk's fluzy boyfriends Someone got married. Oh, it's the NCIS people So there must be a male and a female actor in NCIS and Apparently they they type in that This says LL Cool J. What? Oh, there's LL Cool J. Is he in that show? I don't know. Ian McChain's very big year. Ian McChain. I don't know him too much. He seems like the kind of guy. He's probably like a theater guy. He did that new Pirates movie though. He played Blackbeard. And I've seen like clips from that, but I never really actually saw it. Josh Groban bridges in concert for Madison
Starting point is 00:42:46 Square Garden. He was doing that one show where he plays the son and his dad is like a bad guy and he's got to bring him in. I don't know if that was a Netflix or what that was but it never really seemed like it took off. Gotham, how many seasons is that one gonna be on? It's been a long time. The movie pick is Hidden Figures. Well, we talked about that in the Beentown blog. That is Baltimore City's favorite movie. It's literally, oh, you'll love this.
Starting point is 00:43:16 So I didn't even get to talk with it, so meet up blog. So I came to my friend, my coworker, who was recently called into Jerry Doody, I don't know, three, four months ago, something like that, I reckon. She said Hidden Figures was all so on when they went to Jerry Doody.
Starting point is 00:43:31 So now I'm thinking, well, Baltimore City, Jerry Doody only has one movie in its Hidden Figures. Oh, this is interesting. The case against Adnan Sayed, that's the kid from serial. Baltimore based. Shameless, season finale, season or series, season apparently.
Starting point is 00:43:54 Emmy Rossam. How many times does she have sex on camera in Shameless? I've seen like six episodes, and I think I've seen her naked about eight times. So it good for her for a living her life. But on our way into the TV listings. They don't start to Monday, March 4th. So today is Saturday, March 2nd for another 45 minutes. So again, to recap, I don't have a TV, but if I had one, I would know what was on. So, and there's a lot, apparently, this was a double issue.
Starting point is 00:44:34 It's a lot packed into here. You got those stupid like cardboard ads, and you flip the page to them instinctively. Sunday, March 17th, that same Patrick's Day. You remember when Sally Field used to have osteoporosis and she did the Boniva commercials on TV? You don't really see those anymore. What happened? I don't know. All right.
Starting point is 00:45:07 I was looking at my health insurance. Yeah, 45 minutes longer than I wanted to go, apologies. I really dug my teeth into one of the things we talked about.
