Quinn comes to you LIVE to discuss carbo loading at The Spot, landing a sick new job at P*****b, and how to start a bird's nest

Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David Furness. Welcome to my show. Quinn David Furness presents the Beantown podcast for Friday, July 31st, 2026. What's going on? What's happening? How are you? My name is Quinn, and we are coming to you live on this rainy, muggy Friday afternoon here in the Chicagoland area. No tornatic activity, thankfully. We've left that in the rearview mirror for a night. But you never know this summer has been funky, man. A lot of storms, a lot of power outages. No mud slides yet, which is always good. If you see, generally if you see mud sliding towards you, it's a big problem. I feel like, you know, sometimes you see those videos of the tsunamis and people on the beach.

As a kid, you hear tsunami and you hear about the carnage and the wreckage, and at least I'm always like, oh man, this has got to be like a 50-foot tidal wave or something coming crashing down. But it's more subtle than that. The waves just kind of, they're not so high, but they really hit the beach with a strong force like the Normandy invasion. I think my impressions of what tsunamis were like growing up as a kid were maybe informed by the land before time sequels that direct to VHS is. What is it? Because the original back in the 90s, it's a major motion picture, right?

I feel like that's a term you don't see as much these days, but major motion picture. Theatrical release. And then the second one, I think, is the one with Chomper. Chomper isn't two of them, but the second one is where they, like, got to reunite Chomper with his parents or something. What do they call the, because for intellectual property reasons, you can't call them T-Rexes. They're like sharp-tooths, I think, is what they're called. And then they got those magic green leaves, too, I don't know if they were drinking macha or they just munch on them.

The third one, it's like, I don't know, they're not like velociraptors, but they're kind of like that. They're kind of like, kind of bad guys, but they're also kind of duffus. And the fourth one is the one where they go in the cave and there's the female Liddifoot, right? And I think there's a really passionate, by the way, Listen to discretion advice when you're listening to this program number one, occasionally some language number two, this podcast, objectively terrible, really passionate sex scene between Littlefoot and Little Footette. You know, they're stuck in the cave and the bad guy is like a, there's two of them, right?

There's like a crocodile and then like a little bird that rides on his head. And the gang gets separated and they got to find their way out of this cave. The fifth one, they go to the, I think the fifth one is, one that had maybe some more of this title action, T-A-L, they somehow stumble, stumble, stumble back upon chomper, this tiny little baby sharp tooth, who somehow in the time between episodes two and five has not grown at all, he's still a baby, and they cross the land bridge and go to this secret island, I don't know what they're looking for. But then the tidal wave comes in and the land bridge goes away and now they're screwed they're marooned as we'd say in the

industry but it all works out they make it make it back home somehow and then the sixth one has got those little uh you know the baby i don't know if they're they're littlefoot's cousins or nephews or what but you know they look like i think they're the same species is that that duckie character wasn't Ducky the one whose voice actor, the actress got murdered by her father? I think that's what happened. Shoot, right after the first one. That's a tragic story. She's like 10 years old or something.

She was probably going to win the Oscar, but they don't let the voice actors do it. She's going to be the youngest Oscar winner since Tatum O'Neill, as a reference for all the film buffs out there. And those are the first six land before times. Those are the ones I've seen. and I'm sure they made a million more. Maybe we'll get a reboot like we're getting the airbud reboot. Airbud returns. And he's playing basketball with a kid in the wheelchair.

And it's just a hoot. I saw the trailer on Reddit the other day. I know it's going to be a five bagger for sure. Speaking of five bags, or we already said listener discretion, I got caught up because I was going to say, you know, shout out to Pakistan in Nigeria for making us the 178th and 78th ranked comedy podcasts in their respective nations, which I'll still say,

but I also know I forgot to let you know that I'm the creator, the host, and the chief movie reviewer on this program, and then I got caught in between and accidentally went to a listener discretion advised. So we've got a lot of thing boxes to check off here. Speaking of which, first sip, we're opening up a blue moon. One of the advantages to road tripping to a family get together of any sort is when it comes to all the leftover food and beverage, someone's got to take it because TSA frowns upon loose 12-ounce cans of Blue Moon being brought through security ever since 9-11.

You can't bring beer on the plane anymore. What a rip-off. You know what I always thought was a stupid thing? I mean, you're on these flights. So you can, you know, in the airport, you get past TSA, you go to the duty-free store, and you can buy the, you know, the bottle of, you're in Sapporo, Japan, or something, so you get a nice bottle of sake. Typically, you know, you go to the Binis in Sapporo or suburban Tokyo.

It's like 20 bucks for this bottle, or, you know, 2 million yen, whatever it is. And then you go to the duty-free store, and it's up-sell to high heavens. it's like $100 for the same cheapy little bottle. But whatever. I've never actually bought alcohol in a duty free store before, but I've seen it. I've heard. But the thing that is stupid is not the price gouging, whatever.

I'm okay with that. Or just more okay than this. You can't drink your own alcohol on the plane. What's, you know, this should be party busts. This should, you know, we're sitting here. Trans-Pacific flight, Tokyo to LAX, layover, and then, you know, finish off, you're going to Amarillo or whatever. So you want to enjoy your sake. Well, you're screwed because you're not allowed to open it on the plane, which makes me think,

obviously it's not hard in the traditional sense to still, like, consume the alcohol you purchase at the duty-free store if you know what you're doing. my question is how many of you out there I don't think I've ever done this because I've never bought alcohol at a duty free store how many of you out there travelers gold tier and above are saying you know what I want to have I want to party so much that I'm going to make my own mixed Bev

or just you know you can drink the alcohol straight too just you got to you know pour it into your thermos or something and then you can have a good time it's not hard to like set that up and then you just got to play it cool on the flight. But considering the prohibitive cost of these duty-free alcohol, the duty-free alcohol, I've never actually tried it. I'm also, I mean, rarely am I on an airplane to go somewhere super lit.

But if I was like today, Lollapalooza, which we'll talk about in our trivia question in a little bit here, if I was like day of flying from wherever Amarillo, Tokyo, it doesn't matter to Chicago on the day I was also going to Lollapalooza. I might feel a little bit inclined to splurge on the alcohol bottle, set a nice base pregame. Now the issue is you don't want to go too hard because then you got to pee on the plane, which is not advisable for someone of my stature.

But I don't know. Email us, Beantown Podcasts at yahoo.com. I'm not talking about, you know, you bought a first class ticket or you got upgraded. They hand you the little champagne flute or, you, you're flying, you know, Alaska or whatever it is, and they give you the free glass of wine. I don't think they do that in Alaska. Maybe air tap. I think that's what we flew to Portugal.

T.P. Air, I think is what it's called. Toilet paper air. They give, you know, the transatlantic flight is only six hours or something, but they give you the pour of wine. I'm not talking about, you know, your diamond delete status. I'm talking about bootleg in it, and you actually bought the alcohol in the airport, mixed it up, and went nuts on the plane. Email us. if you got any stories like that. You can take it one step further.

Now, I don't know if anything like this actually exists. I don't know enough about the laws of alcohol and, you know, solids and liquids and plasmas and gases. But I had this thought of, like, obviously, you know, you could freeze if you had a blast chiller, because I think most of the time alcohol's freezing point is higher than water, but in theory you could, like, freeze alcohol into a cube of some, sort. Now, TSA, they're still going to flag that. They're going to say, hey, that's a liquid.

This thing's melting. But my question is there any sort of like solid alcohol, almost like a Boolean cube? You see where I'm going with this? Where it doesn't, you know, TSA's not going to detect it because you can bring in your, you know, your loose snacks, generally speaking, trail mix. One time for Christmas about a decade ago, I gave my aunt a summer sausage, you know, those tasty little things you buy in the deli and you know gave it to her she took it through her carry-on tsa gave her a little bit of business about it but you know it's hey it's my summer sausage is not yours well it was really anti-stacies it wasn't mine but so is there any sort of uh alcohol in food form maybe this is more of like a fermented bread meat flavored bread or something i don't know

because you know alcohol and bread are basically the same thing you had to get the yeast going I don't know, email us or tweet at us at Beantowncast. Let us know what the deal is with solidified alcohol. That could be a way to get past those TSA mongrels. M-O-N-G-R-E-L-S. Our Animal of the Week, inspired by something I spotted earlier this week on a run, or maybe it was last week, over the Mighty Chicago River, which has been reversed.

It used to, you know, you'd think, hey, you got this big lake over here. It's a river. It probably flows into the lake, right? O'Contraire back 100 years ago. The city planners and Daniel Burnham and Richard Adler, William Adler, probably William Adler. I don't know.

Said, hey, let's move that, you know, let's get the toxic stuff out of the lake, move it down to Mississippi, down to St. Louis and Memphis and New Orleans where it belongs. So they reversed the river. Here's your Chicago history fact of the week. But I saw swimming across the Chicago River, surely on his way to do some damning activities.

I saw a little beaver. And I was reminded of it because I had a friend post about it on Instagram this morning that they had also spotted a beaver in the river today. So with that in mind, animal of the week is the beaver. What do we know about beavers? They got two big front teeth, big floppy tail. What's the thing with mammals, right?

Their tails go vertically up and down, and the fish they go side to side. That's how, if you're ever in the wild and you see an unspecified swimming object, it's like a UFO but underwater, you can tell, hey, and impress your biology friends. hey, that's a fish. That tail's going side to side. Maple's tail is like 360. It's like a gyrocopter. It can kind of do everything.

But I saw the beaver swimming in the water. And it made me think, you know, what other animals are out there who are building things? Obviously, beavers, yeah, they got the dams, they got the wood going. although when we talk about usually you talk about a dam you think about wanting to stop the flow of water right if a beaver just builds a little wooden structure maybe to one side of a river

because if you're looking at the Chicago River you're not going to have a dam across the whole thing not one beaver by himself I'll tell you that much but if it's just like a little wooden enclosure on one of the banks but clearly built by a beaver clearly inhabited by a beaver.

Is that still a beaver dam? Or is that more of a dwelling of some sort? I don't know. We're going to need some zoologists to chime in here. We're asking for a lot of audience support on this program between the alcohol cubes and the beaver dams. Uh-oh. We got dog pranks over here.

Pranking mom. It's always good stuff. What other animal structures do we have beehives? So, I mean, I know about the paper wasps, right? They go out to staples and stuff. They find the paper. They build a little nests out of it, and you can do the science experiment when you're a kid.

You make a paper mesh nest or whatever, and it's all fun. What are these bees collecting to actually build these wasps? It's like this hard, hardened structure with the honeycombs inside. But what is that bee hive actually made out of? Is it hardened honey? Is it, I mean, usually when I think of bees out in the wild, first I think Jerry Seinfeld,

then I think, hey, we're out here collecting honey. You know, when I was single and on, speaking of bees, spent a lot of time on Bumble, collecting honeies, wordplay intended. No, I don't think, I'm thinking back, like, and it's been a while. I mean, I haven't been on a dating app in, gosh, one or two years. But thinking back, like, where did I have the most success when I was on dating apps? Tinder wasn't great, and then I got banned, and it's just a whole big thing. Bumble, I feel like, had a decent amount of action.

Hinge, I was later to, you know, I mean, it just, it came out later than Tinder. and Bumble. But I think probably, I mean, outside of meeting my wife, I think generally probably had the most success on Hinge. I was on OKCupid for a hot sec. That was never like, yeah, the app. That was just like you log in on your desktop website. And I am 99% sure I never met anyone I chatted with on OKCupid.

For one hot sec, I went on a date with this Jewish girl from Coffee Meets Bagel, which I didn't realize at the time. Is it meant to be like a Jewish dating app for Jewish singles? Is that why it was just one date? Rachel Gorenstein, I think her name was, something like that. That was a tough date because it was, you know, we're going to go get, it was coffee meets bagels. So he said, let's go get a coffee, maybe a bagel too.

But we went to this really popping cafe in Baltimore. And there was no seats. So we got our coffee to go. And then it was just kind of like, kind of like it is. is right now just kind of misty, rainy, and so we kind of had more of like a walking date. And I thought it was a good date, but just didn't get the call back. You know, that's what they'd say in the industry. But that reminds, I mean, we're talking beehives.

We're talking Baltimore. And I was having this conversation with my wife before we started recording. She's like, what are you going to talk about? I'm like, let me count the ways for you. and so I can't tell you I'm getting here organically right now but we did have a really productive listening session of hairspray specifically the remake from what do we think that was 2008 something like that Travolta after 2008 let's see I'd never seen it I'd just seen just seen clips Okay, we got high school musical as a reference point.

Ooh, you're not going to be happy. 2007. Seven. 2007, Queen Latifah, Zach, Ephron. What's his name? From, you know, he plays Captain Hook, not Dustin Hoffman, the other guy. Christopher Walken. Amanda Bines before she got crazy.

Thank you, Dan Schneider. I don't know who else is in hairspray, but we're talking, you know, beehives too. I mean, keep the Baltimore theme going. The only, now that I think about it, the only restaurant, to my knowledge, featured on Gordon Ramsey's U.S. version of Kitchen Nightmares that I ever frequented, and I think this was well before it was on the show, Cafe Hun, and then Hamden neighborhood of Baltimore, which is where the beehive, hairstyle and hun culture originated hun as in honey h-on if you're not familiar i mean it's if you've

seen hair spray you at least have a general understanding i would guess of hun culture but it's it's such a it's a it's a very like small niche unique thing it's not you know it's not like oh you go to baltimore and the whole city is hun culture it's really just kind of confined to this little strip 34th Street I think it is in Hamden the avenue 34th Avenue is what they'd call the avenue is a good ice cream steps excuse me I'm spilling over all my words here let's take a hard pause let me get a sip of blue moon good ice cream spot there the charmery I believe is what it was called and they're used to I think it's it's since closed down but it used to be this great Greek spot on the west edge of the avenue of Hamden.

And it was one of those spots. I think I went like three or four times my entire time living in Baltimore. But I went on my birthday once. I think it was like my 23rd birthday. It was just far away enough from the office on foot to where it was a little bit of a detriment to try to do it. But every once in a while you splurred just like 20 minutes one way. So it's like how bad you really want the euros and fries?

But man, this was back, you know, pre-COVID pricing. So you could probably get a hefty euro and, you know, a side of fries for like $10, something like that. Man, it's not the same anymore, is it? It's an interesting thing. I mean, you know, I worked fully in person in the office as a lot of people did up until COVID. And now I'm thinking back to like, what, you know, what did I do for lunch every day? Actually, I had this recollection, too. This is going back to the early days of Beantown, but there was one, I won't belabor this point.

we have other animal structures to mention. There was one period of time. I don't think it lasted longer than a couple. It was like a month to two months, something like that. Where I said fast Mondays is going to be my new diet routine, which is not even a routine. It's more of just a, I don't know, unnecessary. I guess the health nuts out there would say it's,

oh, it's a great way to reset your body. It's exactly what it sounds like. You just don't eat on Mondays. And again, it wasn't like I did this the whole time, the whole two years I lived in Baltimore. This was like a two-month stretch I tried this out. But I mean, I've done a lot of different diet things in my 30-plus years of living. Most notably, one meal a day. But yeah, the fasting for an entire day, you know, you go whatever, 36 hours without eating or something.

That's tough. And I don't know ultimately if it was a good or. bad thing for me health-wise, but it definitely led to me just going to town on Sunday nights. Holy cow. I'll always have fond memories, and I'm sure my arteries do as well, of hidden up the spot, which is just this slimy, I don't know how this turned into a Baltimore recollection thing. Last thing I'll say, we'll keep going, I promise. I would go to the spot.

It was in the back of this, like, convenience store. It's a carryout restaurant, essentially. Low, low prices, low, low quality, but you really get some good volume out of it. And in my heyday, when I weighed like 230 pounds or whatever, go to the spot. Sunday night, you get, you know, you want to pick it up around like 7.30 so you can get back in time for Sunday night football.

And get usually a half loaf, usually sometimes a full loaf of garlic bread, which is, oh man, so effing good. And then I would either get like chicken tenders or a cassidia. And that acacia was 90% grease, but man, it was good. And then you had to double down. Well, I guess if you're getting the cassidia, you got the tortillas. You want to triple down on your carbs. Get some fries on the side.

Oftentimes, mozzarella sticks too. The Holy Grail, I would say, the perfect night. I'm not shying away from my eating habits or anything like that, right? I wear it all on my sleeve here at the Bean Town podcast. Full cassidia with chicken, full garlic bread order, and a side of mozzarella sticks. The beauty of it, you know, in addition to the 5,000 calories, the beauty of it is all of that together with this, you know, pre-COVID carryout pricing. That would have honestly been like 12 bucks, something like that, 12, 13, 14 bucks. And I think I haven't been to the spot since I moved away from Bean Town.

many years ago, but I occasionally, when nostalgia rears its head, I will go check out the menu because I believe it's still open and check out those prices. And although they've gone up, it's not some sort of egregious change or evolution. So tip my cap to the spot. I can't recommend it if you're asking, man, what's a really high-quality Baltimore establishment? But if you are asking me, hey, Quinn, you've been pounding beers watching NFL games for the last six hours. And you want to just go to town on the calories. Where should I go? And I'll tell you, you go to the spot on St. Paul Street in the Mount Vernon neighborhood

of Baltimore. And you will have a good time, my friend. Beehives, wasp nest, we kind of throw into there. Birds' nests. I've always been curious about the birds' nest. What I need to do, excuse me, in no cap, I'm not kidding around. I need to go watch like a, excuse me, I got the belches, like a time lapse of how a bird builds a nest.

Because in my mind, it's like the confusing thing to me is how do you get started? It's kind of like a rubber band ball. How do you get started? You just start twisting some rubber bands around and then do you just keep going? I always thought rubber band balls were like really cool when I was growing up and I always wanted to make my own one but I never did because who can afford all that rubber. But my question is how do birds get started? I mean, oftentimes these nests they build will be in little nooks or crannies, 90 degree angles,

like under your roof, like roof to the siding, right? 90 degree angle. What do they actually do to get started? because you can grab all the sticks and blades of grass and cat tails, whatever that you want, but how do you actually get it going? This is a question I have for any oranthologists out there listening. How does a bird start a nest? Once you get the bones going, your foundation,

I-e-eye shake your foundations. it's easy enough, I would think, to just keep adding, like you're making a rubber band ball. But I have questions about the first step. I mean, if you just gave me a 90-degree angle and some twigs, maybe a piece of straw, and said, hey, stick this up there, I would have no idea what to do.

And I have thumbs. Birds are doing it purely with their beaks. It's like the second of three challenges in a Fear Factor episode. They're doing mouth stuff. Dude, we get the free Fear Factor, Roku channel, along with a myriad of others, Little House and the Prairie Deal or No Deal, S&L. But right now, Fear Factor has been clicked on frequently enough to be on like our homepage, so you don't have to go digging for it.

And occasionally, I would say once or twice a week, I'll turn it on just to check in. And I swear 90% of the time, when I do check in, they're on the second challenge, which always, you know, I feel like classic Fear Factor, it's like the first one is kind of stupid, more like action-oriented. Second one is always the creepy eating challenge. You have to swallow someone else's beetle vomit or something in two seconds, two minutes or less. And then the last one is usually some like crazy extreme stunt, like jump out of this helicopter into a moving. Hot Tub and pull the flag while you're going down. We always, 90% of the time, we go there and then it's the food challenge, the second one.

My wife doesn't much appreciate that, so you never get to see the full ending. We're watching Chopped last night and Ben. They were working with gooey duck. You guys know about these gooey ducks? G-E-O-D-U-C-K. it's like What is it? I don't know

Let's look it up We haven't looked anything up today And we've had a lot of questions So let's find out what's going on With the gooey duck Looks like geoduck The Pacific gooey duck Is a species of very large

Saltwater Clam In the family Hyatelidae The common name is derived From the lush-tude seed name Goui duck What the heck is Lushut

seed. Historically known as Puget Salish, Puget Sound Salish, it's a central coast sailish language of the Salish language family. So what the heck is a coast Salish language? Branch of the Salishan language. Okay, we're getting close. Family of languages spoken in the Pacific Northwest characterized, here's a question, here's a definition for you, see if you can define this word. A gluttonate. A-G-G-G-L-U-T-I-T-I-V-I-T-Y, a glutinativity. I thought that was, if you had celiac disease, you were a glutinativic. A morphological process in which words are formed by stringing together, morphemes, word parts,

each of which correspond to a single synactic feature. We are down, really far down this rabbit hole. We got to bring ourselves back up. I can't tell you much about synactic languages or salish languages, I apologize. I apologize, because we got to keep the show going. But we have gooey ducks. They're like, it looks like a clam, like a nice little seashell, but then a big, big old fat penis coming out of the side.

Basically like a, I mean, it looks more like a slug, honestly, than a clam. But it's kind of like if a clam and a slug were banging or something, I don't know. Anyways, that was their special ingredient, I guess, that they were cooking with was gooey duck. The large, meaty siphon, which I think is the penis, or penis-looking appendage. It's not actually a penis, I don't think. It's prized for its savory flavor and crunchy texture. Regard it, here we go, as an aphrodisiac because of its phallic shape. I don't know.

I hear about aphrodisiacs all the time. Maybe I'm just not cooking the right stuff. Maybe my bean salad is not an aphrodisiac, but I never have food. where after I finish it, I'm like, man, I'm ready to bang. Is it more in how you prepare it? Is it a mental thing? Aphrodisiac is a substance that increases libido, sexual desire, et cetera. We all know what it is.

So what are the common examples? Oftentimes more focused on male ambergris found in the gut of sperm whales. Well, that explains. I haven't bought that recently at Aldi. That explains it. Bufotanine found in the skins and glads of toads. So you're telling me I got to go on Fear Factor, eat one of these toads, and then I'll be ready to get it on with Joe Rogan.

Yohim bean found in the bark of Yohim trees in West Africa. Horny goatweed, finally something that makes sense. Alcohol, there we go, something that is now, oh, these were all separate categories. Food is its own category. So I guess we weren't supposed to be eating the gut of the sperm well. That makes sense. So what's actually, you know, we're talking food. What's realistic here?

Ginseng, okay. Wait, the food category didn't list any actual cool foods. It just says cow cod soup. Chocolate, maybe. Let's do one more Google search here. Then we'll get back to our animals. Common Afrodisiac foods. Oysters, dark chocolate, and pomegranates.

Chili peppers, watermelon. Chili peppers. What do you think about that, Maple? Can't stop addicted to the shin dig. All right. This would be a good time to pause as we work our way towards the end of the episode. I've got a couple more animal structures. We've got our trivia question.

Otherwise, we're going to keep it high and tight here. But it has been a second since I thanked our sponsors. And no better place to get started than with our good friends at Cuts by Q. That's because I gave myself. A fresh little cut by a cue here. We got the relatively new clippers at this point. I think this was their second time out of the bag. Put on that eight guard.

It's a full inch for you at home, not in the industry like I am. And went out to the back porch and went to town on Tuesday. Now I'm looking fresh as ever. So, of course, we should say Bob and Weave. We all know the hairstyle. We all love it. But how many Chicago-based independent barbers can actually give it to you the way you deserve? Enter cuts by Q is little like Enter Sam and only different.

Cuts by Q has been independently owned and operated since 1995 and is probably one of the better barbershop operations serving Chicago, Cook County, Northwest Indiana, Chicago land, and Hampton, Baltimore. From Beehives, there you go, to bangs, foahawks, the flat tops and everything in between. Call Cuts by Q at 815, 298, 7200, or you can email Cutsby Q at Yahoo.com. And that's cuts, Q, UTZ by Q at Yahoo.com. If you know it, sing it with us. Oh, and you need a fresh juice on that snap your new. Just call the experts that cuts by Q.

I also want to take this opportunity to give a shout out to the Samson Q2U series. Are you sitting there thinking to yourself, man, that audio is crisp. Holy cow. Well, that is a blessing from the father, a blessing from above. You know what? We were watching the Lollapalooza live stream on Hulu last night, Charlie X. and Lord. And I thought to myself,

you know what, that quality, it's good, but it could be better. I wonder if Lollapalooza knows about the Samson Q2U series. Samson, when God speaks,

he uses a Samson. I didn't even hear Royals. Do you think she started with that and we just missed it? We missed the first couple of songs. And we'll never be royals. It's kind of bangs, just saying,

for us. I don't really know any of the lyrics to that one other than we'll never be Royals. Never beat the Royals. That was us in Little League. One year, Royals were too good. I don't think that's actually true. I was just trying to find a way to tie it in. I think the Royals actually sucked. Fuck the Royals. Isn't it interesting as a kid, we'll get back to our ads in the second year, but you know, Little League teams, at least in my community growing up for the most part I was like, oh yeah, you're going to be like I was on the Cubs. I was on the Angels. I spent one year on the Angels,

and it's like the exact same, you know, color and logo and all that stuff. I think my brother was on the Orioles, which is a less common one. You don't see that every day. But one year, I don't really know how this came up. It was one season when my brother,

Jack and I played together. We got to just like choose our own name and color scheme. And so we were the stallions, when I was like 11 or 12 that seemed like cool, badass. I guess I think like Broncos is more kind of like the badass horse kind of thing. Stallions is kind of like sexy.

But we were the stallions. We were black and silver. And that was a good ass team, man. I think we like won the league with that particular team. I was on a handful of little league teams growing up where we just absolutely kicked ass. Actually, Royals,

I think Royals was the first. ever little league team I was on. I played with my brother. I think we were, we were pretty bad. It's my first time ever playing baseball. So it was like a bench slash right fielder. And yeah, we had this one Eastern European kid on our team named Toshek. T-O-S-I-E-K, something like that. Toshak, if you're out there, email us. Let us know how you're doing, bro. It's probably like 35 at this point. Let's keep it going. Home Pride, Oregon, are you tired of selling your house for less than a quarter of what it's worth?

And of course, guys, NFL training camp is here. A Hall of Fame game, right, this Thursday, I think. Everyone's going to be watching Panthers and Cardinals, something like that.

Well, the all-new Beantown Sportsbook app is now live, leveraging the latest AI, advanced analytics, and obnoxious in-app advertising.

you know, those little videos that they say they have an X in the corner and then you click on it, but it actually takes you, opens up your web browser and it's some spammy, sexy thing, and it's like camsoda.com. And, you know, the girl's got, you know, really, you know, nice proportions. And she says, come chat with me, but, you know, she's not actually there. She's never there, guys. Let that be a lesson to all you 12-year-olds out there. It'll turn you into a slam dunk with, let's see, NFL preseason Hall of Fame game right around the corner.

Bean Town Sportsbook, bet like a better better. There you go. Let's go briefly to Google the Google app. I'm going to put on incognito mode. This is the closest we've ever come to searching for pornography live on a Beantown podcast episode. I'm just curious. Just typing in Cam Soda,

not to go sample the local talent or anything. Just curious, like, what is this app? Is it like a known, like rip-off? Is it like only fans where, yeah, if you pay a little bit, you actually see some stuff? Because it just seems like one of those spammy sites. that you're on like TEMU or something trying to, you know, buy a 85 cent fidget spinner and all of a sudden you click the wrong thing and now you're in Cam Soda.

So what is it? I'm not going to click in anything. I'm just looking at the Google search results. It's a totally new type of adult webcam site where you can browse through thousands of cam girls and watch everything. Okay, that's where it gets a little bit iffy. and then the first Reddit post that comes up here. What was my mistake on camsoda? We're not going to click into that.

I am interested, oh, the bottom result here on the first page is not camsoda, it's chaco cams. There is, if you are familiar, this should keep us clear. There's a trust pilot site dedicated to camsoda. Let's click into that, see what we can read. There's 23 reviews on Trust Pilot for Cam Soda. It's a 2.2 star rating, not great. A couple of five stars.

Okay, some people really enjoy their experience. Okay, this is from Nex, Nex username. July 13th, 20206. First cam site I ever used that just auto-charges your credit card without you knowing. This site is shady AF. Why would someone decide to auto-buy tokens at the worst value over buying a bunch at once?

The site is rigged to scam you. I'll admit it it's clever how they set this up. It amazes me the site hasn't been shut down for charging people without permission. I saw it happen to others in reviews. It is the most immoral site I ever came across. Okay, so we're getting sort of pros and cons. Jared Beale, May 27, 2026 gave it five stars. Looks like they're a streamer, so they got paid for that.

A lot of people talking about getting ripped off with the tokens. This person, Robbie K. Cabali gave it one star because he can't, he said I can't actually contact people. Let's see, this one. Oh, that's scam soda from next. We already saw that. Anything else really interesting here.

Two stars. Marcus says pay in advance, but do not expect service. Todd gives it one star. The models claim to speak English, but they use translators that is not speaking a language, all caps. I hate that. Isn't it the worst when you pay for a cam girl and they use a translator?

Oh my God. Anything else here? Just imagine working. Here's a reply from Cam Soda. Customer service. Hi there. We're sorry you felt left down. You felt let down.

That said, several points in your view are not accurate. Yada, yada, yada, yada. Just imagine a career working for Cam Soda customer support. I'm not saying I want that job, but I wouldn't even know where to go looking for it. I feel like if you Google Cam Soda, I'm off the search results now, we're largely done with Cam Soda. We'll wrap this up. If you Google Cam Soda careers, it's not going to be like work as a business analyst or human resources generalist or marketing communications person. It's going to be like, what's your breast size?

That's probably more of the careers that are going to show up first. So you really have to dig into the camsoda.com corporate website to get a customer service job. I don't know. That's the thing too, like my last thought here. But, you know, a site like Pornhub or something, it's the biggest name in the industry. And it just, I can't imagine like working a full-time career. It takes a certain, I'll leave it at this, it takes a certain type of person who is, you know, like not,

it doesn't have any, like, self-consciousness or, or I don't want to say shame. I don't want to, like, slut shame. That's not what I'm here to do. But it's just like, imagine, you know, you get a new job. It's a pay raise. You like the people you work with and you go home from the holidays. And your parents are like, so I heard you got a new job. You really liking it or your grandma.

And she's like, you know, tell me. more about and you're like oh yeah i'm a i'm a business analyst at porn hub it's just like i don't i don't think i could do that so kudos if anyone out there works for you know in like a regular old business job and the adult entertainment sector email us i'm just fascinated i'm curious about it doesn't have to be cam soda it could be x tube or redhat milfs dot com or whatever it is. All right, anything else here on our animal structures? I know I had a couple other ones. Let's see. How can we find it? Termite mounds. Let's lump in termite mounds and ant hills, although they are different. Dude, termite mounds badass. These things are huge. It's like the termites poop out some sort of

structure. It's not wood. It's more of like an earthen material. But I got to, you know, tip my cap to termites because those structures are huge. And I feel like termite mounds because, you know, beavers, positive connotation, termites very much negative connotation. But if we're just talking about like sheer engineering abilities and like cool modern architecture, I think we got to gas up the termites a little bit. Ironically or coincidentally, that's probably how you'd kill them too. got to gas them up but and then ant hills i'm not going to linger on this too long i want to wrap

things up here soon but do ants you know ant hills they're like sandy right where does that sand come from because oftentimes you'll see these ant hills like cracks in the sidewalk and you got this big mound of what looks to be sand where are they getting this sand from and why do ants want hills rather than just like burrowing into the ground like why do they need to make like a conic structure c-on-I-C this would have been a good episode to have a zoologist on instead we just have maple sleeping over here and she doesn't know the first thing about bugs uh two other honorable mentions spider web it's more of like a you know it's not their home it's more like we're just going to build something to trap some flies but love that charlotte's web she's weaving the

little words into her web some people pig and then she dies at the end but they just got a million babies and Wilbur's happy it's a happy ending and then prairie dogs too prairie dogs they're not building as much as they are burrowing but they got this huge underground network of tunnels isn't that in uh better call saul and bob odenkirk and jonathan banks are walking through the desert and bob odenkirk is like let's just wait till night the sun will go down we won't get as thirst for and Jonathan Banks is like the first second you step into a prairie dog hole, there goes your ankle, and you're dead.

And then the sun comes up and they start walking and they drink their own pee. It's a lot of fun. It's a hoot, really. But I don't know if owls really build anything. I kind of think of them as finding the little nooks and crannies and trees. I think we've officially run out of steam here. That's our animal of the week. and subsequent not only other animals, but, you know, pornographic discussion as well.

Our trivia question in honor of Lala Paloosa, this will be a simple one for you here. Here's my question. Lollapalooza originated as a farewell touring event in the year 1991, organized by Perry Farrell, who is lead singer. He's still alive. but at the time was lead singer of this alternative rock band, which I did like two minutes of research on today when I stumbled upon this trivia question because I don't really know much about the band and still don't.

But I will say this, growing up, like up until now, so 31 years, I always thought this band was like a metal screamo kind of band just based off of the name and like my own preconceived assumptions and notions. but it's much more like the red hot chili peppers like alt rock late 80s than anything else so who which band was peri feral the frontman for and i don't really know what the name references but um some lady and she has a problem there's your clue uh if you don't know you're probably not going to be able to just like uh work it out you can't really you know do much else with it so i will tell you the answer is jane's addiction

peri ferral organized it as a farewell tour for his band jane's addiction and they've gone through different iterations and stuff but yeah i listen to one of their i only i mean i only listen to half of one of their songs and uh it was more much more like chili peppers esk than what i assumed they sounded like so there you go there's your trivia question that is the bean town podcast for the last of July here. We're going to come to you live next week. Welcome you to August. Leo season. I think it's already Leo season, but my wife said that. So I wanted to recreate it here on the podcast to sound like I know my signs. So that's what I got for you guys. Thank you for listening to my show. Quinn David Furnace presents the Beantown podcast. I hope you stay sane. Stay safe. Stay cool.

I'll check in on you next time. Bye bye.
