Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David Furnace, and welcome to Quinn David Furnace Presents The Being Town podcast for Sunday, June 9th, 2019, year two. What's going on? How are you? What's happening? My name is Quinn.

This is my show, I write it. I write it. I wrote it. It was written by me. I produced it. I directed it. Best Boy, Keygrip, all that good stuff, coffee in turn. How's it going?

Welcome. Greetings from Chicago, Illinois, where we've done probably, I don't know, at least more than five shows previously on the Bean Tom Podcast. and now come to your life from home base up here in Gorgeous Rogers Park, the park of Roger. We have we have moved. Being Tom podcast officially now housed out of the Midwest. We left Baltimore so it's exciting to be here here and thank you for joining us on this crazy wild ride. If you couldn't already guess, we're going to be talking about them move a little bit. I don't have as many juicy stories and anecdotes about this particular move as I did when I moved from Chicago to Baltimore two years ago, but if anyone out there is interested in listening to that story,

if you go back about a year in the Bean Town Podcast archives, it will leave June 2018. We had our farewell, the far-well episode, and in that episode, I told my moving story, which was great. But that's a fun episode too, because we were joined by former roommates Ryan and Sean, and even Stephen was on and then podcasting legend Jambles Pendowski came on right at the end it was crazy last 30 seconds it was wild

but yeah we you know we used to always say that bean town podcast we want to Baltimore City's top 500 podcast well I haven't thought of a good new replacement, sort of for that. I also haven't pulled people. There's no way we're making it into top 500 podcast in Chicago because it's just such a bigger market. But I don't know. I'll have to think about it and I'll get back to you on that one.

But for now, we'll just say it's a pretty good podcast in Chicago. We are the people's podcast, don't forget to use hashtag friends of the podcast. We're talking about the bean-town podcast on social media. You don't forget to share it with your friends. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, all that good stuff. We're on Twitter at bean-towncast and you can always email us either through our website bean-townpodcast.com or you can email us straight to the source, beantownpodcastyahoo.com,

The West African princes remember Mr. Rock Chris, that was a great storyline from a couple months back now, but haven't heard back from Mr. Rock Chris. That was a great storyline from a couple months back now, but Haven't heard back from Mr. Rock Chris. He kind of got a little upset because I was, you know, Trying to get him to go have Jesus with me on a What was it a diamond mine or something or aluminum mine or something in central Pennsylvania? And he was getting frustrated and I was you know, it's just like this is business. It's Businesses business. So Not a lot of action on the email lately, but we're always taking new questions, new concerns,

comments, grievances, all that stuff. And thank you to all the beeners out there. I was wearing my t-shirt around Chicago last night. I was on a trolley and walking around town, getting drumming up some excitement, you know, kind of sipping a beer and say, boy, if you listen to this bean-town podcast and they say, oh, what's the bean-town podcast?

Also, I unzip my jacket and I thrust my chest at them like I'm Ariana Grande or something and I'm like, this is the bean-town podcast. Shout out to mom and dad for making me a customized limited edition creators choice, Y2K grade tinged. Is that a word? Tinted, twinged, tween, hinge, dating app. Limited edition shirt.

It still fits, so. hinge dating app, limited edition shirt. It still fits, so. But yeah, and then the listener's discretion is of course advice when you're listening to the bean town podcast. Number one, we'll occasionally use some language, especially after a couple of beers, you know? Not that I'm like a foul mouth, but if I'm not drinking anything, it's pretty rare for me to use anything beyond like damn or bitching or you know some of the other soft ones.

But you get a couple of bruising me and I might drop an S word, I might drop the R word rats, one of my favorites. So number two, this podcast is objectively terrible. Although, hey, you know what? We are sitting at what, 17 months into the show and we're still getting like 400 listens in episode. So we're pretty excited about that. We are in the new apartment and it's huge. My old place, you know, you can see some of you out there listening

when you physically see the thumbnail for the Bean Tum Podcast. Some of you will see Cowboy Christmas, but some of you will still see the original picture. I don't know why it's different, but that original picture is me sitting at my kitchen table on New Year's Eve drinking a bottle of champagne with the feet up on the table, tiger blanket in the background.

That was my old apartment, my old studio at 817 Paul Street. And what you see in the picture is pretty much all there was to the space, 420 square feet, not like the smallest studio you've ever seen, but pretty, pretty small. This new place is 750 square feet. So about, oh boy, not good at math, but probably like, I don't know what is that.

Like 40% larger than what I had, which is pretty significant. Considering I had enough stuff in my old studio to just kind of round that out and it didn't feel crammed, but I had a decent amount of stuff in my old studio to just like kind of round that out and it didn't feel crammed, but I had a decent amount of stuff in there. Now you add, you know, another 40% worth of space and I got almost nothing in here.

So we're looking to get a couch and trying to find something on Craigslist so I don't break the bank on that. I'm close to pulling the trigger on a TV. Gonna get one of those smart TVs, but also an HDMI cable, so I can hook up my laptop, watch Cubs games, it's going to be great. The back porch, I bought some lawn chairs, it's not the right word, like the collapsible chairs that go inside the little bag and God, what are those call? I don't even know. We used to bring them to soccer games,

growing up to to watch siblings and stuff, but I got two of those on my back porch, which, you know, not spacious and there's nothing really to look at in the view, but it's good for, you know, sitting out there and shooting the breeze, and if I smoked it would be really good, but I don't smoke. But I have a separate dining room. I have a living room where I'm sitting right now. I have a bedroom, which is like a pretty significantly sized bedroom for Chicago standard.

Chicago bedrooms are typically a little bit smaller. This one I have is huge. I have my bed in there, I have my dresser in there and nightstand, big closet. I still got a little bit of space, so. I have this huge. I have my bed in there, my dresser in there, and nightstand, big closet. I still got a little bit of space. So, and if anyone has any, if any of you beeners out there in the North Side of Chicago or looking to get rid of anything,

just let me know because I'm taking buyers, but I've got a kitchen too. That's always nice to have in an apartment. It's got a dishwasher, which is nuts. I've been using it to just like set things in there after I washed them so that they can dry. I don't know if I'll ever actually use the dishwasher like turn it on but what else? And my fridge, oh man I haven't even told anyone about this because I never think about it. This fridge is like the fanciest, largest fridge I've ever seen.

French doors, there are all these like seeker compartments, there's an ice maker, which I don't use because I just have ice trays, but yeah, you could fit like a family of six worth of food in there and I'm of course, I have, I fell up about 2% of it with my groceries, because there's only one in me here. But yeah, it is large and in charge. It was a brand I'm trying to remember.

It's something the other room I could go look at it. But it's not a common brand. It was like unexpected decisions or something. I don't know. I thought that was a plan B company. But yeah, it's huge. So, hey, again, call out to the beaners out there. Anyone on the north side, if you're thinking, man, I wish I had more fridge or freezer space. I got some stuff that I got. I just got a store or else it's going to go bad. Let me know because I'm renting out space in my unexpected decision fridge. Again, that's not the brand name, but I don't remember what it was. I digress. So we got here

on Tuesday and while I'll just give you, where did we last leave you? Last Sunday, got back from LAX Red Eye Flight, which was fun for everyone. And then Monday, so I worked a little bit Monday morning and Got the truck. I left work at like 1 p.m. Got paid for a whole day, which was clutch and Got the truck to get back to E1-17 Paul Street Loaded it pretty much almost all by myself. It did have one coworker graciously, who's also a neighbor or was a neighbor,

helped me out with a couple of pieces, which I really appreciated. But yeah, the whole loading thing was pretty exhausting. It wasn't too hot, which was really fortunate, because those Baltimore summers can get nasty, but it got lucky, it was like low 70s. Loaded up the truck, took about four hours, got out of there at about 8 pm and just started driving. So left as the sun was setting, drove west into the sunset, so got a little bit more

sun than I normally would, which was nice. But, made it, had some McDonald's and Hager's Town, which was clutch, and eventually made it to the Cleveland area. So I drove right through Pittsburgh and stopped anywhere on there, but I got to Cleveland about 2 a.m. or so or outside of Cleveland. And I was really feeling at that point. And the mind was really starting to play tricks on me. And I knew it wasn't going to be safe to stay on the interstate for much longer. So I pull over and I tried to take a nap.

I was going to sleep for two hours. It's what I set the alarm for. I made about 45 minutes before I actually woke up because it was too cold. So I'm wearing shorts into t-shirt, right? It's July. But it was like high fifties outside and it would start to catch up to me inside of the cab. And so after 45 minutes I was up. And that's not a good feeling when you haven't slept at all and you sleep for 45 minutes in the middle of the night and then you wake up and you're like ready to go again. But I didn't know what else to do,

because I couldn't sleep. So I started driving again, I got some coffee, but at that point I was just feeling really icky. You know how you feel when it's just been a little bit too long without sleep, or if you just have like one too many beers. It's almost like you're hungover, honestly. You're just sitting there like feeling real gross

and your mind is not fully charged and physically you're running on empty. I made it another like 45 minutes or so to another one of the like travel oasis is along the the turn pike there and I was just like, man, I can't do this. So I pull over, I try to sleep again, set another two hour alarm, this time it worked.

Slept for two hours, woke up, right? As the sun was coming up, got some more coffee. So at this point, I've had like almost three hours of sleep, which is not great, but better than no hours of sleep. And that was around Toledo. And from there, I drove straight from the Toledo area to Chicago, hit some Chicago traffic, but nothing too bad. Oh, this was stupid. So I'm driving in Northwest Indiana between South Bend and Chicago, or the South Bend and the Illinois State Line, doing just fine. You know, I got like

45 minutes, supposedly left on this trip, it would end up being like two hours, but I'm like, you know, 30 miles from Chicago. And Queen comes on the radio, Bohemian Rhapsody, and you get to the middle part, reading some head banging and stuff, you know. What's the Mike Myers-Dena Carvey? What is that, Wayne's World? Doing like the Wayne's World opening. And so I notice out of the corner of my, I sort of peer over into my

mirrors, I see, oh, and I should mention, driving on 90 across the top of Indiana, there was a cop on pretty much every single one of the like turnarounds, there was just a cop sitting there. And these were every probably like four or five miles. I have never seen the whole F and Indiana state police must have been out there hanging out because, and this was a Tuesday afternoon at about one, or Wednesday afternoon about 1 p.m. This wasn't like a drunk driving thing.

This was just, I guess this is what they do all day. I don't know. So I'm driving and I'm head banging and all of a sudden a cop in his white car pulls up. So, I'm in the right lane. He's in the left lane. He starts, he pulls up to the side of me. I notice he's sitting right there. So I like stop head banging, so I'm just like, okay, what are you doing, man? And he starts to speed up like he's gonna make the pass.

And then he gets just about clear of me and then he slows way down. And of course, I'm going a consistent speed and I'm not speeding at all. I didn't speed down this whole trip. Because I didn't need to. Also, those trucks take a long time to slow down. So at this point, he slows way down and then gets behind me in the right lane.

And I like, okay, obviously something's up here. I have no idea what it is. I was confident that I wasn't doing anything wrong, which foreshadowing would turn out to be the case, but he's driving behind me for like 30 seconds without any sort of, you know, no siren, no fashers, nothing, he's just hanging out riding my butt. So I'm getting real paranoid at this point.

I'm like, what the heck is going on? And finally he turns on his sirens, or not even his sirens, just his lights and something like, all right, so I pull over along the side of I 90 there, close to the Illinois state line. And I, at this point, I'm not even like anxious or paranoid. I'm just, I'm so tired and so like so close to being done with this drive and was like, what the come on? What's going on here? What's the deal? With traffic stops. And so there's two cops, they get out and they come up to my my passenger side window and they're just chatting with me. You know, we're all white. So no issues. You know, hands up, don't shoot. And we're just talking. He's like, where are you,

where are you coming from? Like Baltimore and where are you going? Chicago. And he asks what I'm doing in Chicago? I said, well, I'm moving there. You know, I got a new job there to Paul. And this was, this was sign number one that this was just like a weird traffic stop. We spent like 15 seconds of him being like DePaul with the W. And I was like, no, DePaul, the one in Chicago. And he's like, I know there's a DePaul somewhere. And I was like, yeah, I know it's like very close to where we are right now in Indiana.

And I was like, no, DePaul, like the Catholic School in Chicago. And he's like, there's a DePaul in Chicago. And I was like, yes, it's spelled differently. I don't know how you never, I mean, you know, not that DePaul is like the national leader in anything, but it's the largest Catholic school in the US. Basketball team is pretty historic. Like, I don't know. It just seems like something you would know about if you lived in Indiana. But I digress a little bit here. So we chat for like a solid

90 seconds and he's like, you got your license on like, yeah, I handed my license, which is still an Illinois license because I'd never changed it when I lived in Maryland. He never said anything about that. but I gave him my license in the rental contract, which was printed out. He and his buddy go back to their car. They're there for like three minutes. And they walk back and then things get really weird. He's like, so he hands me my stuff back.

He's like, clean bill of health. And I was, I didn't say anything about it. I was like, yeah, no duh. Like, he's like, He looked a little tired driving and I was like, oh, well, it's been like 14 hours, but I still feel good. I had some coffee. He was like, you were not in your head a little bit. I was like, oh, I was listening to some queen, doing some head banging.

He starts laughing. I'm like, okay, at this point, I don't know. He's got nothing on me, but I'm also like, okay, at this point I don't know, he's got nothing on me, but I'm also like, is he going to make me do anything? He's being really chummy. Is this when you butter someone up and then you take the bad news better? What's the deal here? And then he just starts, he's like, so what?

You watch the wire, you're from Baltimore, and I was like, oh, I've seen the first season, I was like, oh man, I'm knee deep in the fourth season right now. And then we spend the next solid 90 seconds to two minutes, which is a long time when you're like, just sitting there talking to a cop. Talk, he's telling me about his favorite moments

and the characters he really likes, and he's asking me if it's realistic to what Baltimore is actually like. I've only seen the first season so I don't feel like I can chat up, chat him up too much because I just physically don't know what time. But we talk for two minutes about the wire. And finally, he's just like, all right, well, you're good to go. Good luck in Chicago.

And there's like, thanks. This whole thing probably lasted, I don't know, seven or eight minutes, just sitting there on the side of the tollway. And eventually, the two guys, the second guy never said anything. I'd never got a good look at him, but they get back in their car and they take off. And 15 seconds later, I turn off my flashers and I pull back onto the highway

and I get into Chicago. And so that was, it was just like, okay, I feel good. I'm not swerving, I'm not speeding, I'm doing my thing, like I don't mind having a conversation about the wire and moving and all that stuff, but I just, you know, on hour, like whatever this was, this was like our 15 or 16 or something of this process, I was just like, I would prefer it if I could just move along here. So that was just like a weird pit stop. But it did give me the jolt of anxiety and energy

to finish this thing off. So I get to Chicago, traffic's real bad, because it's way faster to go on LSD, but no, no, no, you halls allowed. So sitting there on 90, 94 trying to get all the way traffic started right at like 35th, and then all the way up to Damon where he got off. But pick up my keys, get to the apartment, shout out to a friend of the podcast, Stephen, for helping me unload.

And had some air-a-train food in Tuesday night, which if you're curious is just like Ethiopian food, which makes sense considering their geographic proximity. And, you know, yada yada yada, we are here, we're good to go. Let me read some ads here, and then I have just a little something for afterwards, and then we'll wrap it up. We'll keep it short today. I'm pretty tired from last night. Happy birthday, technically tomorrow, but the celebration's last night. To friend of the podcast HB 94. She's been on, she was one on one of our Chicago episodes last October, I believe you can

check her out. And then also, friend of the podcast Matthew or Matt has never not the not Matt Fiedler but a different Matt from Chicago who hasn't been on the podcast yet, but we'll get them on eventually, but they both have their 25th birthdays tomorrow. And they got a trolley, and there was a lot of alcohol, and a lot of white claw. You heard about this white claw deal. I had one last night. I don't really remember what it tasted like. I think it was just like sparkling juice basically. But it's got some alcohol in it, I guess. I don't know. We couldn't really taste it. But people love white claw, apparently. That's all my friends I, I guess. I don't know. We couldn't really taste it, but people love white claw, apparently.

That's all my friends I ever talked about. I don't know. I had one can, and it was just like, whatever. Cool. I was drinking some coronas. I hadn't had a corona in years. I was drinking corona light. I had a white claw.

No shots, which was good, because I already, I woke up this morning, not hung over at all actually, but my stomach was just a little bit like off, because I didn't eat anything after all the libations. But I had some dunk in this morning, got right back into my Sunday morning routine, dunking some coffee, donuts, hop on the family chat, and it's like I never even moved. So, let's read some ads here, and then we'll have some closing statements here. All right, I know I needed to redo the ad for at least cuts by Q, but I haven't done anything

so we're just going to improvise. We did, as a reminder, have to update the home pride organ ad last week with a new phone number Which apparently had been different for months before Trustee Steve let us know but home pride organ here we go Are you tired of selling your house for less than a quarter of what it's worth all because you can find a reliable home inspector in time While Oregon listeners there's good news.

They've been working tirelessly around the clock to provide that Chris Clear audio quality for

both the Bean Tom podcast and one of our new shows, The White Noise Podcasts, created by Matthew Feeder. Episode 2 is up, Episode 3 we've recorded. It's being mixed right now. It should be live at some point in the next day or two, I would hope. But you can check us out there. Again, it's white noise podcasts created by Matthew Feeder and co-hosted by yours truly.

Shout out to the TV guide, although I tell you what, I don't know how much longer I'll be able to keep going on the shout-outs because I was promised a year long subscription. And I think what did I get? For magazines, I have them in the other room. The last one, as a reminder, I got had Peter Dinklage on the cover. It was a start of April. It's officially been over two months with no TV guide. I

moved, I did set up the USPS forwarding, but no sign of a TV guide yet. So I'm, it's starting to sound like we're never gonna know if John Goodman ever gets on the cover, if the Conner has ever come back, which is a shame now because I'm probably going to get a TV in the next couple of days here. Not that I would have cable, not that the TV guide would be helpful for any of that stuff, but it's nice to know what's on anyways. Rest in peace to the TV guide. Last one here cuts by Q. Bob and weave we all know the hairstyle, we all love it, but how many midtown, I can't say midtown anymore,

there's no midtown Chicago. How many north side Chicago we're going to have to update this. How many north side is Chicago base 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, you have to change this to, one of the better barbershop operations serving Cook County, Chicago land and the entire Midwest. See, that's different. It used to be Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and Cook County. From Beehives to Bangs, Faux

Hawks to Flat Tops and everything in between called cuts by Q8152987200 or email cuts by Q at yahoo.com. That's cuts. QutZ at Q. That's not right. Q, U, T, Z, by, Q. At Yahoo.com. Oh, when you need a fresh do, something snappy and new, just call the experts at cuts by Q. Kind of, you know, dalled up the song a little bit, I think it'd be fun to maybe do some variations. You know, classical music, there's, you know, some of the big pieces are like a theme in variations. Beethoven does that.

There's a really good rock mononof, theme in variations, themes on a, was it, rhapsody by, or rhapsody on a theme by Paganini, something like that. It's a classic piece for piano and orchestra. It's really good. But the the the theme and variations became common with like Beethoven. He would use it for interior movements of his symphonies. It does that a couple times. So and other ones would follow.

But those are the ads for this week. Couple two different points or topics that I want to briefly touch on. Neither one is super in-depth, but things that are important to note. Number one, the iPad gone. Sad. Had to return it when I left work,

which is a shame because there are former co-workers in that same office who have left and not that they took their iPads with them, but they didn't like wipe it or anything and they kept the passcode on. And once you do that, as far as I know, there's no like legal way to override that. It's just a brick. There was a person who was in my office and she left right before I got to my old job. And she the whole time I worked there, her iPad was in like my cabinet. And you could turn it on. It still worked like fine and everything, but you needed a passcode. And we never got it from her. And it's still sitting there. And

it's just, it works perfectly fine, but you need a passcode. So me being the upstanding moral gentleman I am while I wiped it clean, you know, took off the passcode, all that stuff. And it's now in the hands of, or hands of Johns Hopkins. My former employee, which I don't think I ever announced on air until now, I think one time it was mentioned in an interview with hosts of the Card, Commerce Podcast, Rhino St. Ligon, maybe dropped it, but not that I was ever

worried about it, and people in my office knew about my podcast because I promoted tirelessly. And even for a certain period of time, I had a director of marketing communications, who was all over messaging and PR and that stuff. And she listened to an episode. She never got back to me about it. I guess that means it was just so bad that she couldn't finish it. But yeah, but I was never into really talking about the job because I don't think it's

not that flash. It's not that exciting. It's a paycheck. There's a lot of suit, a lot of travel. So, um, wrestling piece to the iPad, wrestling piece to tune blast. Oh, man, I, I had to say goodbye to all my online buddies I'd been playing with the past, you know, nine, ten months or so. Sent them a tearful goodbye. I retired as the number one player on my team

out of 50 level, 2322, I think is where I ended up when I cleaned the iPad. So it's a lot of time, it's a lot of tunes to blast, but we made it really far. So they pride of myself. And it seems silly and it really is, but you know, you invest that much time in a game and whether it's angry birds or tuned blast or call of duty or FIFA, and you make that much progress,

and you build those online relationships. You know, it's tough to see that go. So I don't know. Maybe I'll get one of those, either on like prime day or black Friday, there's usually like, you can get one of those kindles or something for really cheap, which is not quite as nice as the iPad, but you know, I can pay like 30 or 40 bucks

for one of those kindles, or I can sell like 400 bucks for an iPad, and to me it's just like, it's kind of ridiculous the difference there so Gone but not forgotten the iPad Rest in peace we need one of those hunger games things where it shows up in the sky and then can it and boom last point is the parking girl So this is one of the one of the kind of pillar stories of So this is one of the kind of pillar stories of the podcast lore is the parking girl story. You can physically listen to it, came out a little over a year ago, I think, mid-May or like late April, something like that, 2018, we actually told the story.

It's kind of buried in there. What you can also do, those go to, there are two other alternatives. The year one special, which came out right at the beginning of January of this year, I have that time stamped, so you can see like at minute 52, here's this story at like minute two hours and 14 minutes and 36 seconds or something, here's the story. Parting girl is one of those and it's pretty early on in the special, but you can just go click around, and it's in the description. They different times and what they correspond to. So you can find it there.

You can also, though, literally go to the bean-town blog. If you go to bean-townpodcast.com slash blog, again, that's bean-townpodcast.com slash blog. It was one of the first things we ever did, like a bean- town throwback, where I literally just, and I have only done this with one thing, I might do it for another one soon, but I took the classic story of the parking girl and I put it into text. So for any of you deaf listeners out there, you can read it, but I think it was mentioned

about a month ago that we matched with parking girl again on a new app. I think this was the third time we had matched. The first time was what led to the infamous story. The second time, nothing ever really happened. And then the third time, we, we, we, we follow each other on Instagram now. So we've been talking a little bit. There were talks of getting together, but it never really materialized and I never really pushed for it. And she wasn't, you know, that jazzed about it. So it was like, whatever.

Well my last night in Baltimore, which was a week ago, last Sunday night, there were some increased talks making it push for her to come down. I told her I'd help her park or I'd show her where you don't have to parallel park because that's her kryptonite. But she lived so far away half an hour that the urgency was never there. And it was my last night. And I was never like, oh my god, you have to come down and

do this. So without that flame of urgency, I wasn't flaming at the time. It was just, it never quite came together. You know, a week later, I'm at peace with it. So, if you know the parking girl story, we did make eye contact once. She drove up when I was in at the the the brew house number 16, which closed six months ago, but And she was there, but she couldn't park she just couldn't park and That was a lot first and last time we ever actually saw each other so Parking girl You're you're a legend

And I'm sorry we never got to spend more time together or any time together That's kind of the that's kind of the closing chapter on the parking girl story one of the classic bean-town podcasts legends and Yeah Stories close on bean town or on Baltimore But will still be the bean town podcasts because then people will be like, oh he's cool, he's from a different city, you know. Bean town podcast been always in Chicago, he took it with him, that's dedication.

That's what people like to see, they want to see loyalty, they want to see dedication, they want to see someone who's not afraid to keep that podcast going even when it's objectively terrible. Isn't that really what the holidays are all about, Charlie Brown? Okay. Well, I am going to finish this up, upload this here. I got to go to Aldi. So I went, I have a grocery store that's block and a half away from me.

It's great, the Von Market, game dropping. Got a lot of my groceries there. There are a couple of things that couldn't pick up. They didn't have them there. So I'm going to take a saunter to Aldi. It's a little under a mile. So a little bit of a walk, but it's OK. I got nothing else going on this afternoon.
