                                         Welcome to the Bean Town podcast Christmas edition. Yes, we're able to say Christmas.
                                         
                                         Now we're lucky we started the podcast in 2018 and not in Socialist 2010 or
                                         
                                         something like that. This is Quinn David Furness coming to you live from the
                                         
                                         Sandy Shores of Corpus Christi. Texas the natural state. How is everyone doing today? We're glad to have you.
                                         
                                         We are on a mini little holiday vacation here. Got the whole
                                         
                                         fam ready to go. Mom's drinking bourbon, Waltz pretending he's still in the fantasy football
                                         
                                         playoffs. It's just like old times. We're having fun, we're going to be getting
                                         
                                         some different voices and personalities on the podcast today, I reckon. But first,
                                         
    
                                         listener discretion is advised when you are and biving in the holiday tradition of the Bean Tom podcast number one the podcast is
                                         
                                         uh you know we'll use some words especially if sister gets on here there's a
                                         
                                         little PSA to anyone who hasn't met sister yet should hear her trying to play
                                         
                                         me in mini golf on her iPhones it's's not good. You'd think she was a drill
                                         
                                         surgeon or something. Number two, the podcast is objectively terrible, but may just a little
                                         
                                         bit better when we get the likes of mom and sister coming on the podcast. Well, a couple
                                         
                                         of things going on here before we jump into any sort of shenanigans. It's worth noting that the audio quality
                                         
                                         might not be as sharp and crisp as what you're used to. That's because we've been having
                                         
    
                                         some computer issues. So the Mac book, which is what we normally run, the Bean Town podcast through
                                         
                                         giving you the flashing folder when you try to restart.
                                         
                                         We did our research, say what's going on, what's the deal here, and turns out the cable,
                                         
                                         they call it a ribbon cable connecting your hard drive to your motherboard is corrupt. So we got on the horn
                                         
                                         with our technological consultant Matthew Fiedler who is also known for taxes and the front
                                         
                                         man of the bean town band. And he mentioned that yes he's had this issue many, many times. Before, if you shake your computer a little bit
                                         
                                         and put it in the freezer for about five minutes,
                                         
                                         you can get it to restart without having the ribbon
                                         
    
                                         cable issues, but it's awfully strange
                                         
                                         once you get going the apps on the computer itself
                                         
                                         are extremely slow, things freeze freeze kind of bugging out
                                         
                                         it's like I'm working on my brother's Mac so we are on the work computer right
                                         
                                         now but it wasn't as simple as just get to the work computer and go from there
                                         
                                         so of course you have to have some sort of software to
                                         
                                         record your podcast with. And so I said, hey, well, let's go get audacity. Everyone's
                                         
                                         talking about it. It's the hottest new piece of technology on the market today. If you
                                         
    
                                         could look at this interface, it's crazy. I feel like I need my 3D glasses.
                                         
                                         But of course, I'm on my work computer,
                                         
                                         so there's all sorts of administrative you need.
                                         
                                         You got to do that.
                                         
                                         Turn in your expense reports anytime I try to download something.
                                         
                                         So we've been going a little black market style.
                                         
                                         Finally got a copy of Audacity.
                                         
                                         Of course, you can only use one mic to go into Audacity.
                                         
    
                                         So the next step is, well, hey, let's get
                                         
                                         some sort of programmer software that will allow us to feed
                                         
                                         two mics into one program, which we then
                                         
                                         convert to Audacity.
                                         
                                         I said, OK, simple enough.
                                         
                                         Well, here's the problem.
                                         
                                         I wasn't able to obtain any sort of back door,
                                         
                                         black market copy of something like voice meter or such.
                                         
    
                                         So that was one obstacle that we weren't able to overcome.
                                         
                                         But the third and final obstacle, at least as of right now, is that you've got to have a way to get your
                                         
                                         Audacity sound file into an MP3 format, which in the sound or garage band is pretty easy.
                                         
                                         There's just an export button and it does it just like that. But in Audacityacity you need, it's called a something like a lame encoder
                                         
                                         to be able to make that happen.
                                         
                                         And of course, that's another download
                                         
                                         that the administrator privileges don't want you to have.
                                         
                                         So we weren't able to do that.
                                         
    
                                         We did find a back way.
                                         
                                         It's not directly through the lame encoder,
                                         
                                         but it's something else where you're able to get
                                         
                                         in a zip file,
                                         
                                         zips tend to be what we're looking for on the internet here.
                                         
                                         So we got a version of that going.
                                         
                                         What we have to do is in Audacity convert the Audacity file
                                         
                                         to a WAV file, and then using this third-party encoder,
                                         
    
                                         we can move it from a WAV file to an MP3 file,
                                         
                                         which will then allow us to upload it directly to SoundCloud.
                                         
                                         YouTube might be on hold for this version or this episode because I don't have any sort of
                                         
                                         iMovie program, which is what I have to use on the Macbook to be able to get a YouTube file uploaded. I'm not certain that I'll
                                         
                                         be able to do anything with YouTube for this episode. So if you're listening,
                                         
                                         shout out to iTunes, Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher, Player FM,
                                         
                                         getting there on cast box. Although that's now on hold because all of our files are on the old MacBook.
                                         
                                         And there's really no way to get them up as long as the MacBook is out of commission.
                                         
    
                                         So that's what's going on with the computer.
                                         
                                         We're going to be doing live surgery from the operating room on Christmas day,
                                         
                                         just a couple days here to replace the ribbon cable on Christmas Day, just a couple days here, to replace the ribbon cable
                                         
                                         on the MacBook, so long as the parts arrive
                                         
                                         on Christmas Eve, which is when they said we're going
                                         
                                         to arrive, but we've all seen cast away
                                         
                                         before those packages can take upwards of five,
                                         
                                         six years to arrive.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, Chuck never did open that last package, did he? But he used those ice skates very
                                         
                                         effectively. You know, I was thinking on us having the tonsil issues a couple weeks back
                                         
                                         and slightly ongoing. I'm thinking, so in cast away Tom Hanks can take his back molars
                                         
                                         out with an ice skate. Let's take that to
                                         
                                         an extreme. What if you're stranded on a Desriland? You got nasty tonsillitis. And you know,
                                         
                                         no, there's no way out unless you get those tonsils out. Could you, if you were like, Dr.
                                         
                                         Strange, level of dexterity, take your own tonsils out without passing out. I don't know, it might be a better
                                         
                                         screenplay than in reality, but just things to think about during this holiday season.
                                         
    
                                         Today is Festivus, a sign felt Larry David created holiday. You got the poll.
                                         
                                         The Festivist feast, the airing of grievances, the
                                         
                                         feats of strength, a lot of good stuff happening in the Seinfeld episode. The strike. You can't miss it. I think I've spent a couple holiday seasons at my parents' house where you got,
                                         
                                         it's like a 24 hour live stream of the strike.
                                         
                                         It feels like you go to about half the TV channels they get.
                                         
                                         And it's playing, but a classic episode today is Sunday,
                                         
                                         December 23rd.
                                         
                                         Again, we're coming to you live from corpus,
                                         
    
                                         Christy, Texas. And I think
                                         
                                         with that, we're going to get some different faces, some different voices. On the podcast,
                                         
                                         again, we're doing this a little interview style. I feel like I'm Chris Hansen, a date
                                         
                                         line or something. We're going to be passing the mic back and forth, although if you watch Dateline, they got lava-lear mics,
                                         
                                         which we ordered, they should be showing up on Christmas Day.
                                         
                                         So that's gonna open up, or Christmas Eve, excuse me,
                                         
                                         a whole different realm of possibilities.
                                         
                                         We might be able to do the Beentown podcast
                                         
    
                                         without any sort of handheld mics
                                         
                                         So we're gonna need somebody to whoever wants to come on first get in the podcasting
                                         
                                         chair
                                         
                                         I guess dad we can start with you. You have a big fantasy football
                                         
                                         Match up come in today and I think we heard early you have some tech issues so
                                         
                                         Walk us through when you forget your email password.
                                         
                                         What are the steps you want to take to remedy that issue?
                                         
                                         Well, normally when you sign up for an email,
                                         
    
                                         you'll have a recovery password.
                                         
                                         And that recovery password is to help you log into if you for some reason forget your regular
                                         
                                         password.
                                         
                                         And also normally tied to that is a phone number that you can receive texts.
                                         
                                         So it gives you a couple of options.
                                         
                                         And it would seemingly be just about impossible for somebody to forget both
                                         
                                         of their passwords and have a phone issue but leave it to me. Recently I changed my phone
                                         
                                         number, got a new phone and that's working out great, thanks for asking. And unfortunately, I did not update that recovery information
                                         
    
                                         with Yahoo.
                                         
                                         So they are trying to text me my recovery password
                                         
                                         at a number that no longer is reachable or tied to my account.
                                         
                                         So it's really a perfect storm, a perfect storm of stress.
                                         
                                         And I'm just a little nervous that if something happens with
                                         
                                         this upcoming today's as I didn't have it mentioned I am in the Super Bowl from my fantasy
                                         
                                         football league against, against Quinn, the host of the Bean Town Podcast, nice to see two people from the same family make it to the Super Bowl.
                                         
                                         And Quinn's going for his, I believe, first ever Super Bowl championship.
                                         
    
                                         So we're all excited for him.
                                         
                                         I've got a few under my belt and we'll see what happens.
                                         
                                         But if for some reason I needed to make a change in the last minute to my team, right now I'm handcuffed
                                         
                                         and I could be in trouble.
                                         
                                         So we'll keep our fingers crossed and see how it goes.
                                         
                                         Now ultimately, the greatest thing would be that if several
                                         
                                         of my players weren't able to play
                                         
                                         and I couldn't change anything out with my team and I still pulled it out that would
                                         
    
                                         maybe rub some salt in the wound. But we'll see.
                                         
                                         It's going to be a fun, exciting day.
                                         
                                         Thanks for the insight, Dan. And speaking of Yahoo, you can always

                                         It's going to be a big new year.
                                         
    
                                         We've been spending a little bit of time. Need to spend some more time working on the end of year
                                         
                                         one best of bean town special. It's kind of contingent on the surgery going well in a couple days here without a successful surgery. That year one review
                                         
                                         is not going to happen on time. So we'll see what happens as just a
                                         
                                         generally reminder of what we've got coming up here. We're going to be doing a
                                         
                                         24-hour live stream on the YouTube channel. That's Quinn David Furnace. Excuse me. We
                                         
                                         will not be doing any sort of audio file from that 24-hour stream that would
                                         
                                         go directly to YouTubers SoundCloud. The 24-hour live stream will be hosted
                                         
                                         on YouTube, so it's open to the public.
                                         
    
                                         It won't be just Facebook.
                                         
                                         Well, that's coming up next weekend.
                                         
                                         We're gonna be doing our New Year's live
                                         
                                         Bean Tom podcast episode from the mountains of Virginia.
                                         
                                         We still got some logistics to work out there,
                                         
                                         but it's gonna be a good time.
                                         
                                         We've promoted on now three different occasions episodes live from the mountains that will be
                                         
                                         taking place. We've yet to actually air one. I've got a good feeling about number three.
                                         
    
                                         And then hopefully the week after that, which would technically be the last
                                         
                                         Hopefully the week after that, which would technically be the last episode of the cycle of a year because we started on the second week of January last year,
                                         
                                         we would then be able to get the year one best of special. So that's what's hopefully coming up.
                                         
                                         But now we're fortunate to be joined by a fellow podcaster who has been on the bean town podcast once
                                         
                                         It was a bean town unplugged
                                         
                                         Especially you might have listened to by the name of the roast of Quinn David furnace one of our more popular entries
                                         
                                         from year one
                                         
                                         Sister I think you came on you told one joke. It was almost as short as you are. It was still pretty funny though
                                         
    
                                         sis how are you feeling today? What's going on?
                                         
                                         Fantastic.
                                         
                                         It's been my dream to be on the podcast and I finally get to do it.
                                         
                                         I woke up and he said, hey, you're on the podcast today.
                                         
                                         What else?
                                         
                                         What's going on?
                                         
                                         You got to give me a lot of things to go off of today.
                                         
                                         Yes, platform to share your thoughts, your feelings.
                                         
    
                                         Well, yesterday we found a get-go to him, Gary.
                                         
                                         Jack caught up underneath the bed.
                                         
                                         And mom made us let him go.
                                         
                                         We talked to him for a little bit, saw his little BDIs. Let him go.
                                         
                                         We talked to him for a little bit, saw his little BDIs, his ears, his breathing.
                                         
                                         How's that recall?
                                         
                                         Walt and I, we have killed you and Jack
                                         
                                         and I came a 500 yesterday.
                                         
    
                                         I'm not quite sure.

                                         person, follower, Laker.
                                         
                                         And he's also our brother, first podcast, then brother.
                                         
                                         Just kidding.
                                         
                                         All right, it was him, so try to have a material.
                                         
                                         I'm gonna have to ask you a question, though.
                                         
    
                                         All right, sister Sally, so you brought up
                                         
                                         the concept of geckos, and like where you're going with that.
                                         
                                         Now we've been in need of an animal expert on the bean tom podcast for about a year now.
                                         
                                         We're not going to be able to get any live animals in here. Right now unless mom finishes her
                                         
                                         glass of breakfast bourbon. But sister, why don't you take us through
                                         
                                         the five different kind of categories of animals
                                         
                                         and share with us which one is your favorite.
                                         
                                         So you got your mammals?
                                         
    
                                         What makes a man a woman?
                                         
                                         They don't lay eggs in their warm blooded.
                                         
                                         They have fur, skin, hair. Hair.
                                         
                                         Alright, that's nice.
                                         
                                         You got your reptiles.
                                         
                                         They have like scales.
                                         
                                         Snake, a lizard.
                                         
                                         Oh, a lizard.
                                         
    
                                         Oh, cold blow.
                                         
                                         Now, who would your favorite spider-man villain that doubles as a reptile be?
                                         
                                         I've only ever watched Spider-Man 1 with Dolby McWire.
                                         
                                         Now, in the amazing Spider-Man, Dr. Connors, who does he turn it? I've never seen a amazing Spider-Man.

                                         Dr. Kurt Conner's, who doubles as Peter Parker's, this is all true.
                                         
    
                                         Peter Parker's professor, I believe Columbia, I'm not sure, I think that's where he goes
                                         
                                         to college in the comics.
                                         
                                         We have to double check on that.
                                         
                                         We'll get our comics book correspondent on that. But Dr. Kurt Conner's turned into a lizard and he's crazy
                                         
                                         because Peter Parker is like chopping his arms off and they keep regurgitating
                                         
                                         and he's in the subway. And I don't remember how they eventually kill him, but I
                                         
                                         think they trap him in a glassman asher or something. Okay, so we got mammals, we got reptiles, where we going next.

                                         Salamanders.
                                         
                                         I thought we'd call it a salamander yesterday, but it wasn't an amphibian.
                                         
                                         So what makes a gecko a reptile and a salamander an amphibian?
                                         
                                         I could be wrong with a gecko's a reptile.
                                         
                                         It could be an amphibian.
                                         
                                         But who's to say who knows?
                                         
                                         Could be both.
                                         
                                         In the term amphibian, what does that term make you think of?
                                         
    
                                         Frogs.
                                         
                                         But in a larger sort of classification sense.
                                         
                                         Frogs.
                                         
                                         What about the word amphibious?
                                         
                                         Got nothing.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         Thanks for teaching us Latin roots, Mom.
                                         
                                         Let's go on to number four.
                                         
    
                                         So we've done mammals, reptiles, amphibians.
                                         
                                         We're looking at two other sort of classifications of animal which one you feel in next
                                         
                                         fun guy
                                         
                                         funguses I grow on the bottom of your feet
                                         
                                         What are some of your favorite edible fungi?
                                         
                                         My Shrooms
                                         
                                         fungai. My Shrooms. Sister does like the Shrooms. Reminds me of a college I went to once. Wait, now we're, this is like, there's a lot of whispering, cross-talking, going on,
                                         
                                         cross-dressing, mom finished her breakfast bourbon finally. Confusion as to what's going on.
                                         
    
                                         We got dad going wild on his fantasy football team.
                                         
                                         Jack's writing something over there.
                                         
                                         I haven't even had breakfast yet.
                                         
                                         So we've done reptiles and phibians, mammals, fun guy.
                                         
                                         Then we got our birds, our fish, our... We're done fish? Well, we're separate our separate I'm just listing off now well
                                         
                                         there's more than five okay what are some of your tastiest birds a turkey a A duck. Mmm. Gees aren't that good.
                                         
                                         They're also scary.
                                         
                                         Let me tell you, one time at Rock Valley College, walking to my class, a geese started chasing
                                         
    
                                         me and came at me.
                                         
                                         And this one also started chasing people too, was not a good day.
                                         
                                         Um, what other ge- I don't, that's the only bird's eye.
                                         
                                         Chickens, I guess those are birds, chicken.
                                         
                                         You ever had a Cornish game, Hen?
                                         
                                         Not that I know of.
                                         
                                         So where did you have a geese?
                                         
                                         Me not have ever actually had one.

                                         judge a geese by its cover, I guess.

                                         That's the one I want.
                                         
                                         But I didn't have enough points.
                                         
                                         So I settled for a TV guide.
                                         
                                         All I really want is one that has Dan Conner of the new Roseanne reboot on.
                                         
                                         And I think that would really make my day end of thought.
                                         
                                         So, Ma, you've been on the Bean Town podcast once before.
                                         
    
                                         It was on a very special episode live from the Pacific Northwest title, the roast of being of Quinn David Furnace,
                                         
                                         now out on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Player FM,
                                         
                                         Spotify, Apple Podcasts.
                                         
                                         You can find it anywhere you listen to your podcast
                                         
                                         unless you look forward and it's not there.
                                         
                                         Ma, welcome back to the podcast.
                                         
                                         How are you feeling today? How is the bourbon?
                                         
                                         It was outstanding. Thanks, Quinn. Thanks for having me back. I really appreciate it.
                                         
    
                                         Now, my you mentioned coming on the podcast for the second time, you were really looking to ramp it up a little bit.
                                         
                                         Maybe talk about something you got over there on your iPad.
                                         
                                         But first I think you wanted to mention the US education system.
                                         
                                         So what about education?
                                         
                                         Yeah, do it.
                                         
                                         And how do you feel about proficiency versus growth versus prosciutto?
                                         
                                         I've always been a big fan of prosciutto,
                                         
                                         especially like it thinly sliced sauteed tilts crispy
                                         
    
                                         with some asparagus.
                                         
                                         It's really good with shredded brussels sprouts as well,
                                         
                                         a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper, can't be beat.
                                         
                                         All right, that's pretty good.
                                         
                                         Now you got something over there
                                         
                                         and you're screened that you're looking to plug,
                                         
                                         walk us through that.
                                         
                                         Well, first I'd like to reiterate to reiterate Quinn that I'm a big fan
                                         
    
                                         of having a letter of the podcast,
                                         
                                         meaning that you would feature a letter with each podcast.
                                         
                                         And I did float a few letters by you in the last few days.
                                         
                                         I brought up Jay obviously, for my first name,
                                         
                                         I brought up Q after you.
                                         
                                         And then I also brought up the often under recognized
                                         
                                         schwa sound.
                                         
                                         Now I think there was confusion over schwa or schwa shtaka and it being festivist and all
                                         
    
                                         in the holidays.
                                         
                                         We didn't want to offend anybody.
                                         
                                         I think the concern is also getting slapped with a sub-pena from Sesame Street,
                                         
                                         regarding the usage of their copyrighted materials.
                                         
                                         So we're gonna see how this segment goes,
                                         
                                         but I will say, if we're dealing with Greek letters here,
                                         
                                         and you get rid of the common ones, the alpha,
                                         
                                         the beta, the omega's, quick sketch
                                         
    
                                         idea that I've mentioned before we're still working through a Christian
                                         
                                         fraternity called Alpha Omega and all of their fun high jinks and haisings and
                                         
                                         crucifixions and stuff. But my what are some of your favorite Greek letters? I've always been a big fan of Theta.
                                         
                                         What does that one look like?
                                         
                                         Well, it's Greek.
                                         
                                         It's all Greek to me.
                                         
                                         You know, that's what they say.
                                         
                                         Mama, Mia, Opa.
                                         
    
                                         I don't know, Ma.
                                         
                                         Is there anything else that you were really looking to talk about maybe
                                         
                                         engage in some discourse on while you were here or something? Maybe spoken word? If you
                                         
                                         want to do a recite a song or something? Well, I was thinking that we could all take
                                         
                                         a moment and just observe a little moment of silence here in honor of the government
                                         
                                         shutdown. Little over 24 hours here with our government employees
                                         
                                         not being paid for the work they're expected to do,
                                         
                                         especially the TSA agents who are gonna have to be checking us
                                         
    
                                         back through for our flight back to the Pacific Northwest.
                                         
                                         Pretty upset about that.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I think that would be appropriate.
                                         
                                         All right, 24 seconds in honor of 24 hours of,
                                         
                                         although it's like 31 hours at this point, more like 34.
                                         
                                         So 34 seconds of silence. I'm not going to say anything. I'm not going to say anything. I'm not going to say anything.
                                         
                                         I'm not going to say anything.
                                         
                                         I'm not going to say anything.
                                         
    
                                         I'm not going to say anything.
                                         
                                         I'm not going to say anything.
                                         
                                         I'm not going to say anything.
                                         
                                         I'm not going to say anything.
                                         
                                         I'm not going to say anything.
                                         
                                         I'm not going to say anything.
                                         
                                         I'm not going to say anything.
                                         
                                         I'm not going to say anything. I'm not going to say anything. I can hardly hold my breath for that long.
                                         
    
                                         I felt like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible 5, Rogue Nation, probably one of my six favorite
                                         
                                         mission in possible movies.
                                         
                                         I'm glad you mentioned TSA, mom, because that brings me back
                                         
                                         to something that I actually really wanted to talk about
                                         
                                         on this episode, maybe some distancing that needs to happen.
                                         
                                         So a couple of weeks ago, we had our holiday season
                                         
                                         correspondent, Megan, on the podcast.
                                         
                                         And she's great.
                                         
    
                                         We had a good time.
                                         
                                         But something that's not so great about Megan
                                         
                                         is her disdain for actress celebrity
                                         
                                         and just overall hottie, Emily Blunt, now starring in Mary Poppins Returns, thanks to Disney
                                         
                                         go check it out in theaters everywhere now.
                                         
                                         So I just wanted to come out publicly and say that the views of Megan are holiday season
                                         
                                         correspondent do not reflect the views of the bean town podcast or its creator or host.
                                         
                                         Emily if you're listening to this congrats on the movie tell John say hi hope the kids
                                         
    
                                         are doing all right your beautiful never change Megan, you need to readjust your priorities here.
                                         
                                         Maya, you have any thoughts on that?
                                         
                                         I'm crazy about Emily Blunt, and I think she's amazing.
                                         
                                         Yeah, and if you ever get the chance to see Denivil News 20,
                                         
                                         what was that?
                                         
                                         14, 15 film, Sicario.

                                         Brolin. It's got Del Toro, is that his name? And it's got Emily Blunt. Mom, did you say it was
                                         
    
                                         terrible? All right. We need some insights on that. I just didn't care for it. I fell asleep
                                         
                                         after about the first 10 minutes. We're talking about Sicario, right?
                                         
                                         Denis Villeneuve.
                                         
                                         Ma, it's one of the most riveting intense films
                                         
                                         of all time.
                                         
                                         In the first 10 minutes, there's a huge game changer.
                                         
                                         How can you sleep through that?
                                         
                                         Quinn, I've been known to sleep
                                         
    
                                         through some of the most highly acclaimed movies of all time
                                         
                                         and some of the worst.
                                         
                                         You should ask your dad about my private Arizona, one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
                                         
                                         Nicholas Cage won an Oscar for that.
                                         
                                         So shout out to him.
                                         
                                         I don't know how you sleep through an Oscar winning performance.
                                         
                                         But I will say on the topic, I'm glad you brought up Demi Villanuevimom
                                         
                                         because I was just on a sub right at last night and we were talking about prisoners, the critically acclaimed, what was that,
                                         
    
                                         2000 something movie, Hugh Jackman, Paul Dano,
                                         
                                         Terrence Howard, Jake Gyllenhaal
                                         
                                         in the role of a lifetime.
                                         
                                         Fantastic, if you fell asleep during Sicario,
                                         
                                         you won't fall asleep during prisoners,
                                         
                                         that's the bean town guarantee.
                                         
                                         So, Dene, if you're listening to this, hope
                                         
                                         Dune's going well, looking forward to seeing what you do with it next year.
                                         
    
                                         All right, my Anya parting thoughts here on the holiday podcast.
                                         
                                         I think in the future, Quinn, you should have a featured special recurring that talks about
                                         
                                         undervalued and under-disgust literary devices.
                                         
                                         Like what?
                                         
                                         I'm thinking of mononomy.
                                         
                                         That would be a good one.
                                         
                                         Sinectike is another fave.
                                         
                                         We were having a family discussion, a really hot family discussion yesterday about assinance and consonance and the value of alliteration?
                                         
    
                                         I will say most of those just sound like little towns and
                                         
                                         Wisconsin, so I'm not sure if mom actually has
                                         
                                         real terms or if she's just kind of doing a little
                                         
                                         lake woebagan, a type of story telling there.
                                         
                                         But yeah, I think we're getting closer to the end of our podcast here now.
                                         
                                         And we got Waltz in at the end of the table.
                                         
                                         I know he wanted to come out live on air and announce the winner of a fantasy football
                                         
                                         award, even though the results aren't all in yet,
                                         
    
                                         we surely have run away.
                                         
                                         I'm thinking maybe coach of the year.
                                         
                                         Let's save that one for when the results come out.
                                         
                                         But while you have a very special announcement here,
                                         
                                         it's like when the guy with the blonde bull cut,
                                         
                                         Stanley Cup finals, game six, he's polishing the silver.
                                         
                                         They show him five minutes left in the period. He's getting the silver. They show them, you know, five minutes left in the period.
                                         
                                         He's getting ready to bring it out, present it to the captain. What do you think and want?
                                         
    
                                         Well, Juju Siss shoesters in the shower right now. So she's not going to hear this, but
                                         
                                         last chance for fancy awards. I don't think she's going to win any awards.
                                         
                                         chance for fancy awards. No, but well, we want her to vote, you know, democracy dies in darkness, right? Pretty sure that's Fox News' slogan. So we still need her to get in and vote. We need
                                         
                                         Steve Johnson of Schmelke's pool cues, not so lovable known as the Fartists.
                                         
                                         We need them to get in and vote.
                                         
                                         Their voice is also missing from the
                                         
                                         awards. So we can't make any definitive
                                         
                                         award announcements until that happens.
                                         
    
                                         I know that there's a guy saying at the

                                         hardly. I just thought I'll cantaloupe. And my mouth right now, so that's a little
                                         
                                         cruel. But I want to give a shout out to the state of Texas for inspiring our recent YouTube Instagram Facebook series
                                         
                                         called the Texas Christmas.
                                         
    
                                         You can see me in my cowboy hat and my aviators just talking about Christmas.
                                         
                                         I had a lot of good videos.

                                         I'm gonna get one of those uploaded and polished soon, but
                                         
                                         I don't know. That's about all we got.
                                         
                                         We're already super long. It's gonna take a long time to upload on this Wi-Fi. It's like a .5
                                         
                                         gigahertz upload speed. It's pretty bad. Anybody with any parting thoughts that you want to include
                                         
                                         on the podcast? Explosives, welcome. I would like to make one correction to an earlier comment on the movie My Own Private
                                         
    
                                         Arizona was actually my private Idaho, so the wrong state.
                                         
                                         It was an unusual movie.
                                         
                                         I did get two thumbs up from Gene Ciscal and Roger Ebert. The subject material is a little bit adult and at the
                                         
                                         time Jane was only in her late 20s so we got through about the first 15
                                         
                                         minutes of it and sometime I'll pull it up again and we'll revisit it and see
                                         
                                         if we can get through another 15.
                                         
                                         And I made the right choice because here I am 30 years later.
                                         
                                         Wow, it's kind of a dark turn here. As we wrap up the podcast, Jack, you have
                                         
    
                                         anything you want to plug here.
                                         
                                         Sorry, what was the question?
                                         
                                         You got about a minute of free time here. If you have anything you want to mention.
                                         
                                         I have we talked about bowling in Corpus Christi.
                                         
                                         So to my knowledge, Corpus Christi is a town of about what, 300,000 people, and there's
                                         
                                         only one bowling alley.
                                         
                                         So draw your own conclusion.
                                         
                                         It's a one-lane bowling alley in the basement of the Chili's Express on 7th Ave.
                                         
    
                                         So yeah.
                                         
                                         You had something you wanted to end.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         You know, I would like to point out that we've been reading a little bit about the history of bowling alleys in Corpus Christi.
                                         
                                         And I think it's mighty suspicious that the last 42 bowling alleys that Corpus Christi has had, they've all burned down.
                                         
                                         A coincidence, I don't think so.
                                         
                                         Sounds like mom is implicating Bolero
                                         
                                         in the arson cases of over.
                                         
    
                                         Boling burn down.
                                         
                                         Great bowling burn down, yeah.
                                         
                                         Boling green, Ohio, Kentucky, I will say that
                                         
                                         despite their sinister intentions, Bolero's got to be one of the greatest bowling alley names I've ever heard of,
                                         
                                         I'm sure they're big fans of Maurice Revelle as I am. You ever get the chance to
                                         
                                         listen to Bolero? It's the same two melodies repeated for about 17 minutes.
                                         
                                         They just add more and more instrumentation as it goes.
                                         
                                         You're gonna wanna stick around until those timpani's come in.
                                         
    
                                         Boom, boom.
                                         
                                         It's good stuff.
                                         
                                         Ooh, I'd like to see Bo Derek running to Bolero.
                                         
                                         Ooh, good stuff.
                                         
                                         Almost as nice as Emily Blunt.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         In a property, respect women.
                                         
                                         I respect women by loving them.
                                         
    
                                         Thank you, mom.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         No one knows who that is though.
                                         
                                         So let's wrap it up there.
