Episode Date: March 13, 2026

Quinn comes to you LIVE to celebrate his 31st birthday with Tay Lautner, tortellini lore, and jumpluff discussion

Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David Furness. Welcome to my show. Quinn David Furnish presents the Beantown podcast for Friday the 13th. Oh, spooky. A second month in a row, Friday, March 13th, 2026. What's going on? What's happening? How are you? I am the creator, the host, and the chief set designer of this program. Quinn Day, well, I guess I'm the best boy. I feel like on your birthday weekend, you get to be the best boy, right? Just kind of makes sense. Furness coming to you live on a Friday afternoon 5 p.m. here. here. Bright, sunny, extremely windy day here in Chicago. Lost power for about 10, 15 minutes this afternoon. All is back up and running, so that's good. What's going on? It's my birthday weekend. It's Oscars weekend. It's election Sunday. It's St. Patrick's Day celebrations here in Chicago tomorrow. There's a lot going on. And of course, I haven't been sick and I can't even remember how long.

And here I am with a stinking cold. On my birthday weekend, how do you like that? We make plans and God laughs, huh Beanheads? But it's okay, I'm going to persevere. You don't come to this show to hear about the sick and the indigent and the invalids. You come here to be entertained. So we're going to have health tips for going into your 30s. I guess I've already been in my 30s, about 365 days or something.

But I still got tips for you. And then we got Oscars trivia. So that's going to be excited. We've got our animal of the week, all that to come. And more. First, I will let you know the listener discretion is advised when you're listening to this program. Number one will occasion you some language number two, this podcast is objectively terrible. I also want to give a big shout out to our friends.

in Pakistan, Pakistan, Lahore, Hyderabad, Karachi, Kuala Lumpur, wherever you are calling from, thank you for listening from, thank you for making us the 112th ranked comedy podcast in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. I got to tell you, I had Pakistani food last weekend. I had an old coworker who was generous enough to invite us into her new home, cook for us, and it was absolutely fantastic.

You got your chicken biryani. What is that? B-I-R-Y-A-N-I, I think, something like that. You got your buttered chicken. Oh, man, dude, buttered chicken. I know it kind of goes without saying because it's so obvious from the name, like buttered chicken, those two things are amazing. But when you combine them together, it's somehow even better.

It's insane. You could give me, when we're talking about just like sheer food, Like, name a food that you could just be in a bottomless pit for. It's, you know, butter chicken is up there. You give me some butter chicken and some jasmine rice? Holy moly. I will just shovel that thing in until there's no space left. Deep dish pizza I used to do, but I can't quite hang with that anymore.

I have deep dish like once or twice a year. And it's a lot of fun going in. And then about two or three hours later or the next morning, it's not a lot of fun. I used to go so ham on the pizzas when I lived alone. Not ham. Well, yeah. Well, there was no ham on it, but I would eat them almost, you know, frequently in one sitting. And then you wake up the next morning, you're so, you're so oily.

You got oil coming out all your pores. Call a Daniel Day Jones. What's his character's name and there will be blood? Daniel Sunday or something? Or is that Paul Dano? I can't remember. it's like Daniel and Eli I think they're twins that aspect of there will be blood

always kind of confused me I only watched the movie once maybe I need to just watch it again and pay more attention but it felt like in otherwise a fantastic movie it's like at the beginning there's twins and then one of them I think it's killed off or leaves or something and then the rest of the movie is just like focused on the one twin

and you're kind of like well why were they twins in the first place because they're both played by Paul Dano, it's just kind of confusing. You're like, wait, there are twins, aren't there twins? It's kind of like the big reveal. Spoiler alert, this movie's 20 years old this year, more or less, I think. To the prestige, when you find out Christian Bale had a twin the whole time. Classic twist.

But yeah, I didn't feel like it was necessary. PTA, Paul Thomas Anderson, for Paul Dano to be a twin, and there will be blood. but that's just my take on things. How did we even get there? Oh, the oily skin from eating pizza. Yeah, butter chicken, man. See, it all comes back to Pakistan. It's good stuff.

And I know the golden rule when you're feeling under the weather, an inclement weather, if you will, is don't drink. But it's my birthday weekend, and so we're going to at least have a pint here in honor of St. Patrick's Day. And I got to tell you, I'm drinking an aged beer. I so my favorite beer from spiteful brewing which is a local brewery up here on the north side of Chicago is goddamn pigeon porter it's a it's a nice porter as the name implies and every year on my

birthday spiteful or in advance of my birthday spiteful brewing sends me an $8 off coupon which is pretty good in the you know in the grand scheme of things with all these you know stupid Dunkin it's like We're not even going to give you money off anymore. We're just going to give you points. I did succumb to the Starbucks thing ever so slightly. I've always wanted to get a free Starbucks drink on my birthday, but I've never been a rewards account member before. So finally, last week I made an account to buy a drink for Rachel

so that on my birthday they'd send me a coupon. If that doesn't pay off, if they don't actually send me my birthday coupon, I'm going to be so mad. I did all the things you're supposed to do. But spiteful, they send you $8 off. And so I like going to the tap room when I get the chance, but otherwise it's like let's just pop in on the way home and grab a four-pack to go. And so you get those, you know, a four-pack of Pigeon Porter,

which is normally like 13 or 14 bucks, you get it for more than half off. And now I'm drinking like $1.50 pints over here. You can't beat those savings. Let me, what's the, what's not entertain me, but allow me to blow my nose for a moment. I'll be right back. I've had the sickness for a couple days here, and I actually thought at first I was going to avoid the congestion because it was like, you know, I had a lot of post nasal drip right off the bat.

Usually I just get a really bad sore throat. And then the post nasal drip is kind of, you know, accompanies the congestion. But we went right into like average sore throat and then really severe post nasal drip, which would be a good punk rock band or something. And then now just today, like day three or so, we're getting the, getting the congestion. So here it is the first sip. Oh, I got to finish the story.

Damn, that's good, Porter. I even spilled a little bit. Clean up on aisle five. But I got, you know, I got this four-pack last year, and I drank three of them. And there's been one sitting in the back of the fridge for a long time because I wanted to save for the just right occasion,

which was not supposed to be when I was sick, but alas. But I stopped by and way home, home from work earlier this week to get a new four pack so I re-upped for this next year one a quarter that's my that's my average here for pigeon porters and so now I'm finally getting to the fourth of the four pack that it picked up for my 30th birthday a year ago so that's the story it's pretty entertaining let's get to our animal of the week here and I figured it's my birthday it's season nine we're doing animal of the week every week so let me go with the animal that was always

kind of my go-to favorite animal growing up. I feel like that's a common question, icebreaker sort of thing as a kid. It's like, what's your favorite animal? What's your favorite color? I always went with green as my favorite color. Now, in my 30s, there's really nothing very little in my lifestyle choices or closet to indicate that green is my go-to color. I don't think I really have one necessarily. I have one running outfit that I can put together per se that is like very green a winter running outfits I got like green running pants almost aquamarine and then like a green long sleep top and I can go a shamrock shuffle hat if I want to but otherwise it's not like green in my closet here sorry this is disgusting I was thinking you know what I really don't want to record a show

when I'm feeling under the weather but these things tend to drag out over the course of a few days and I just don't have any confidence that I'm going to be feeling in any particularly different way in the new future. So we're just, we're doing it live and I'll give you what I can before we check out here. Animal of the week is the koala. Koala's interesting like a panda, right? Because koalas and pandas both kind of get that bear after a koala bear, panda bear. Where do that come from? They're not bears. And pandas I can get down with a little bit more because they're kind of like a, they look kind of similar to a bear. Koala is like a tiny little guy.

It doesn't really look like a bear. Let's learn about this. Why do they call them koala bears? And to close the thought on the not drinking when you have a cold, which I'm all down for, and usually you don't even feel like you're in the mood too, but I'm doing a podcast over here. I think the biggest thing is dehydration, right? because alcohol dehydrates you. And I've been pee in like every hour, top of the hour here.

Every time the bells of St. Benedict's Catholic Church over here toll five minutes past the hour because they're way behind, I get up and go pee like a racehorse. So this might set me back an hour or something on the hydration chart, but I feel pretty confident in my ability to rebound. Why? Okay. it's always European settlers mess something up. Chihuahuas are called koala bears.

We were just talking about this with a bison. Because early European settlers in Australia thought the animals looked like small teddy bear-like creatures, though they're actually marsupials, not placental bears. Their scientific name means ash-gray pouched bear reflecting this early inaccurate comparison. Not related to bears, closely related to wombats and kangaroos. the name koalas derived from the Darug word gula which means no drink or no water

as they get most of their hydration from eucalyptus leaves. Maple, you would love to be a koala. You could drink even less water than you drink right now, buddy. What do you think about that? You want to do an interview with the dog? It's my birthday. Maple? Nothing.

Really crabby mood because mom left. Unlike bears, koalas are marsupials. They carry the young in the pouch. I knew that. So what do you think this Darug language is? D-H-A-R-U-G. That's a new one for me. I feel like any time you hear about Australia, it's just like, oh, yeah, they're

Aboriginal. Or New Zealand, they're the Maori, right? It's like saying Samahu, M-A-O-R-I, or S-M-A-U-G, depending on what I was referencing. But we never get more specific, right? It's like if you were talking about indigenous people from the Americas, you'd call them Native Americans. But there's, you know, you got your Iroquois, your sock, your chikata or chaktaw.

I don't think chikata is a real thing. Blackfeet, Comanche. So same thing with Australia. We just call everyone aboriginals or aborigines, which is kind of like originals with ab in front of it. I don't know, do they have six packs? I don't know what the deal is. But I assume there's a further breakdown, and that maybe is what Darug means. So let's find out that Daug, people are an Aboriginal Australian nation.

and the traditional custodians of the land spanning modern-day greater western Sydney, including the Cumberland Plain, Hawkesbury River, and Blue Mountains foothills, known for a rich ancient culture, ancient, excuse me, not Asian, they've maintained a continuous connection to their country for over 60,000 years. You're telling me that Darug were in Australia 60,000 years ago? I didn't even know humans were that old. They lived as hunters in the region of current-day Sydney. How many Darug do you think are still out there,

hanging out notable darug people see if there's anyone we know i don't know any australian rugby league players out here quincy dodd fans anyone born april thirteenth two thousand gosh i'm old all right oh yaramundi buro birongle daurk clansman whose daughter maria locke and son colabie are associated with the early history of assimilation in australia well i'm sure there's a lot of Yaramundi fans out here. All right. That's enough on the Australian trivia. Australia is one of those places, like, I think at some point in my life I'm going to get there.

But if I'm being real with myself, it's pretty low on my list of like, oh, man, I really want to go there. It's a combination, and it's not like, oh, I, you know, there's nothing to see there. Like, I think it'd be amazing to see. But the combination of cost and time and scorpions is just, it's a wicked kind of trio. Not to mention those kangaroos, they're always punching you. You guys see that? People walk up to kangaroos like, oh, this would be cool, be like that kangaroo jack movie. And then he punches you. Not as much fun. And then you got to worry about those mantarays that killed Steve Irwin. It's brutal down there. Tasmanian devils, right? They have Tasmanian

devils in regular Australia? Is that just a Tasmania thing? I said, phone down i'm not willing to invest the time to go back and look but you can you can email us beintown podcast at yahoo dot com again it's bean town podcast at yahoo dot com but yeah australia and or new zealand maybe maybe i'm part maybe i'm like one six six thousandth darug or something i don't know that'll be crazy but there's just so many other things i want to do europe south america that national park in Arkansas where you can mine your own diamonds go back to wall drug free ice water no but in all seriousness it's like there's a lot of stuff in Europe I want to see

Scandinavia I'd like to take a jaunt down to South America to sample the local cocaine because you know that's one of my hobbies and even like you know Baghdad or Tehran right now

Sounds lovely this time of year Tel Aviv No there's I would like to go to like Southeast Asia at some point And I'm not one of those I don't want to call them weirdos But people who have like an odd obsession with Japan But I have heard good things about Japan

And I would like to visit there as well North Korea I could sort of be an ambassador All these things are Ahead essentially of Australia But I don't know Maybe the Da Ruk could make it worth my while. Send me an offer I can't refuse. A Qantas voucher. You guys hear Southwest is pulling out of O'Hare. You know, Southwest in Midway are kind of the exclusive couple for a while

here in Chicago and then what, like five, ten years ago? Southwest was like, yeah, we'll carry some flights out at Terminal 5, which is kind of the bad boy of the terminals at O'Hare. It's where international flights are in Southwest. Well, not for much longer. In Delta, I think, is in Terminal 5. And now Southwest is closing up shop. Southwest, I'm worried about Southwest. I don't know the last time I flew that particular airline.

Back in the day, man, it was so cool. You get to pick your own seat. It's so much cheaper. And there's, you know, it's just a nice, simple flight experience. with the occasional drink coupon. And now it's just, you know, we're assigning seating. We're not flying out of Terminal 5 anymore. The worst is when you go pick your flights and it's like you're on the,

you're doing a round trip flight and you're looking at the trip out, the outbound, if you will. And you're like, oh, that price actually isn't so bad. And then you realize that was just the one way. And then you see the prices coming back and it's like, you know, It'll be like going out. It was like 180. You're like, oh, that's actually pretty good for a round-trip flight these days.

And then that's just going out to Las Vegas or whatever because you want to see, I don't know, the midnight premiere of Disney Pixar's hoppers at the sphere. I don't know what you do out there. And then you come back and the flights from McCarran. I guess we got to call it Harry Reid International now. It'll be like 215 and it leaves at 5 a.m. and you're like, you're doing the math, and all of a sudden I was like,

this is a $400 round trip flight. I didn't even want to see Hoppers that bad. Is that what it's called? Hoppers? There's a Pokemon named Hopip from Gen 2, I think. He evolves into like a Pokemon called Skipop or something. I don't really know what that Pokemon is supposed to be.

It's kind of a little guy. I don't know if he's like grass and water or what. He kind of looks like he lives among the cat tails. and the amphibious frogs. I don't think there are other types of frogs, but let's see. Let's look at Hopip. And then we'll move on.

Yeah, he's kind of a little pink guy with leaves coming out of his head. What is this guy's problem? Dual-type grass flying Pokemon. This guy's flying? Are those things supposed to be wings? It basically looks like a demon cliff fairy that had poisonous growth come out of his back.

They say he's a cottonweed. It evolves into Skip Bloom. I lost my page. Starting at level 18, which evolves into jump pluff, starting at level 27. What's the point of these middle evolutions if you're only going to be

the middle evolution for nine levels? I mean, give me some space here. What do we know about this jump pluff? It's just like a big old dandelion-looking thing. I don't know. I don't think you ever played with one of those. That was our animal of the week, the koala.

Uh, one thing I wanted to, or two things I wanted to mention here and then maybe we'll read some ads and then we'll back half of the show, we'll go building healthy habits in your 30s and our trivia question, which I think the film buffs out there are really going to enjoy. I came across this on Instagram. I think it was just yesterday day before and I don't even remember the context. But I came across this Instagram profile, Taye Lautner, T-A-Y-Lotner. And I'm like, oh, that's, you know, okay, Taylor Lottner. Like, I forgot he existed, right? You guys remember, Team Jacob, Shark Tank, Lava Boy, The Works. It was a lot of fun.

I'm like, oh, I click on the profile just kind of out of curiosity, because I don't remember the last thing I saw from Taylor Lautner. And it's like, oh, that kind of looks like a woman in the profile picture. That's kind of strange. And I start scrolling down, and it's this lady who's posting a bunch of pictures with Taylor Lautner. And I'm like, so what is she, some kind of stalker? She took this guy's name. and so then I realize, you know, there's a couple of individual photos, too.

It's not Taylor Lawtoner, it's this other lady. Tay Lautner. And so I do a little Google search. I'm like Taylor Lautner wife or partner, whatever, girlfriend, I don't know what I googled. And I come to find out Taylor Lautner is married for a couple of years at this point. I don't know. And he married someone named Taylor. So, you know, their wedding invitations say Taylor Lawtoner and,

Taylor made in name invite you to the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Lawtoner, and you're like, who's the Mr. Who's the Mrs. here? And I really don't have anything else on that. But it's like, you know, when FDR and Eleanor got married, they were both Roosevelt's, but they weren't both named Franklin. So Taylor and Taylor got married. If that's ever happened to you in real life, not that you've married someone with your first name, although if that has happened, I'd love to hear about it.

but if you know if you have any friends or you've been to a wedding ever in your life of two people with the same first name that's fascinating i was thrown for such a loop when i was looking at tay lawner's instagram and i guess that's how she differentiates herself now she's he's taylor i don't know man there's a risky proposition getting married to the person with the same name as you The other thing I wanted to mention, this popped into my head just earlier today. The etymology of tortellini, you know, if it's tortellini, that implies there's a larger tortellini without the aini. So I looked into this and there is, there's a tortello, which is Italianini, sort of like stuffed pasta of any kind of as a tortello and it's derived.

That's right. Duolingo Spanish coming back into play from Tortta, which I guess is probably both Italian and Spanish. Spanish from the Latin tort, meaning to cause harm. In this case, it's more of a sandwich. But yeah, torta, some sort of like sandwich, essentially. Something's got to be stuffed in there. That's how we get to torta and then tortell and the tortellini. Apparently there's something called a tortelloni too, which is the same thing but change your eye to an O.

Tortellini, tortelloni, which is a larger, larger than the tortellini, but smaller than the tortellini, but smaller than the tortello. Very confusing. I could use a graph or a chart if someone wants to make one for me. Chachy-B-T could probably do that. Make me a different, you know,

different size charts. Is there something something smaller than tortellini, tortellissimo? That's the thing in music volumes. That's not the right word. What's the name for this, you know, forte and piano and pianissimo,

dynamics? You know, that was the first, when I was growing up, dynamics for like the loudness or softness of music being played. That was the first context in which I ever learned of the word dynamics. And now it's totally backwards. When I think of dynamics, I think of big explosions and fireworks and things that are changing is dynamic. And it turns out it was just loud, soft, quiet, or somewhere in the middle all along. Mesoforte, meso pianos, piano. piano pianissimo forte fortissimo double fortissimo the triple f i love when you get the triple

f like in a surprise symphony by was that joseph haydn i think i don't remember all right that's a tortellini lore for you taylor lotner and tortellini etymology let's see if we can't find our ads here and shout out our sponsors who make this show possible. What did I say? Did I put it in my notes? I did that to make it easier to find and then I can't find it so that's not good. Home Pride, Oregon, are you tired of selling your house for less than a quarter of what is worth all because you couldn't find a reliable home inspector in time?

Well, Oregon listeners, it got good news for you.

Again, that's 541 4100316 or email homepride organ at gmail.com.

Home pride organ inspection perfection. I also want to give a shout to the Samson Q2U series providing you with crisp, clear audio quality during this Lenton season. There was a car parked behind us on the street yesterday. Their license plate was Lent 6. I don't know if 1 through 5 weren't available, or maybe they're just a really large Catholic family with the six of them. They love Lent. Do people like Lent?

Do people actively look forward to the act of giving things up? Maybe for the more kind of self-restrained audience. I don't know. I never really had to do that in our non-denominational Christian faith. It was interesting that some of the things we took from other sects of Catholicism or Christianity and things we didn't. I mean, we were doing the Passover feast with the horseradish and whatever the leafy green was you had to eat. That stuff was terrible. And the little like apple sauce kind of thing.

Not my cup of tea. I would have much preferred a cup of tea. But that's like a Jewish thing. Do Catholics do Passover? I don't know. I'm just here for the homintoshin. H-A-M-E-N-T-A-S-C-H-E-N, I think, something like that. I love that three-cornered hat.

Samson Q-2-U series, when Jehovah speaks, he uses a Samson. Of course, our good friends at Cuts by Q, Bob and Weave. We all know the hairstyle, and we all love it.

There you go. That one's a mouthful. Almost a tongue twister. All right. Where were we? Oh, so I found this, how I closed out my notes app, that's bad.

Let's get back here. I found this, build healthy habits in your 30s from MedStarhealth.org, the preeminent authority on men's health in your 30s, I assume. It's between them and Info Wars.

What's the latest on Alex Jones? What's his platform? He was such like, I don't want to say mainstream, but like pretty relevant to a certain extent, I feel like during like the 20, like a decade ago at this point, gosh, I feel old. Rise of Trump. And I don't know, maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places now,

but there's just like, I mean, I couldn't even tell you if he's, like, active. Is he out there? He's got to be grifting someone to stay on the air. But I don't know what Alex Jones is doing these days. Okay, so these are, I have not vetted this. These are from MedStar Health, grow up, glow up, colon, seven important health habits to build in your 30s.

We'll see if they talk about your colon. Number one, build a relationship with a PCP. Now, I thought that was a type of piping, but they're saying it's a primary care physician. I got to tell you, I tried this in my 20s. I went out of the blue to a PCP in Baltimore just to get a yearly physical, do some blood work, and I've done a poor job ever since.

I moved away, lost the relationship. My doctor's too far away now. She's in Baltimore. Probably retired for all I know. And I need to build a relationship with the PCP. I really wish these medical insurance, these health insurance sites made it easier to find people in your network that are close to you. Because I go do this. Got to blow my nose again.

The other day, and it's like, here's this person that's 7.3 miles away. It's like, man, do I really want to travel all the way there? I live in a dense urban area. We can't get any closer. I don't know. Seems like a scam. All right. Nose blow break.

Hang on. You know what's been interesting about this. illness so far i've had the congestion for close to 24 hours it's been my left nostril the whole time usually my nostrils are pretty cyclical you know we'll go eight hours six eight hours one side we'll switch six eight hours the other side maybe it happened overnight and uh i missed it but all day today it's been left left only ton of snot from the left nothing from the right all clear on the right. That's number one. Build a relationship with your PCP. Number two, this is really good advice. I think everyone should hear this. Prevent future health problems. Thanks,

MedStar.com. One of the main goals of health care in your 30s is to prevent health problems by managing key risk factors. Your doctor should recommend screening such as anxiety and depression, body mass index. I mean, this is just the most generic advice possible. We're going to waste a whole bullet point on, hey, watch out for common health issues. I've been doing that since I was going to the pediatrician's office. Dr. Errol Baptist 815, what up? I'm neither a monkey nor a mouse and the OGs will understand. Number three, take steps to prevent cancer.

I guess that's basically like number two, but maybe slightly more pointed. These steps kind of suck. I thought it was going to be something like eat, you know, cruciferous vegetables or avoid trips to Australia. Avoiding cancer is critical. Avoiding nicotine and alcohol. Stop using tobacco. I'm in good shape there.

Never vaped. Drinking alcohol increases your risk for cancers in the mouth, throat, colon, liver, and breast. Hang on and parched. You need a sip of my goddamn pigeon porter. Goddamn MedStarhealth.org. CDC recommends limiting alcohol intake to not. more than two drinks per day from men i mean i understand going harder on the weekend and really pumping those numbers up but how many of us are out there maybe i'm out of touch with reality i know

alcohol rates are low how many of us are out there like casually having two drinks every day after work i get you know thursday friday ham over you're having a pint right now but tuesday no i'm like i'm probably just going to go to bed i didn't need to have two shots of tequila but don't Dun, done. Number four, eat the right amount of healthy food. Finally, we get to the cruciferous vegetables. Eat a healthy diet at every stage of your life. Well, we're talking 30s here, MedStar, so try to lock in.

Whatever intern wrote this needs AI. Enjoy foods that are high in nutrients that reflect your personal preferences and cultural norms. So for me, that would be like, I don't know, the big arch burger. For McDonald's, which I never had. I think I had a Big Mac once. I just never go to fast food restaurants almost in general, and when I do I don't get burgers. I used to slam some McDonald's to McDonald's,

though. Add that to my list of foods that I could go ham on. Butter chicken, deep dish pizza, McDonald's, McDonald's, McDonald's, McDonald's, slash McChicons, especially when they were each a dollar. Different times. That's got to be good for your colon cancer. Number five, practice good sleep hygiene.

No one calls it sleep hygiene, sleep habits. Hygiene is like, you know, hey, you got some plaque behind your right molar. No one has sleep hygiene. What are we talking about MedStar Health? It's like they didn't even go to medical school. Avoid disturbances like insomnia. Thanks, I'll try to avoid insomnia. Thanks, MedStar Health.

Build a comfortable bedroom. and what am I a carpenter? Who am I, Harrison Ford, getting cast in American graffiti? I'm so excited. Fugitive annual rewatch this weekend. It's a St. Patrick's Day classic. Number six, manage your stress. I'm glad I'm focusing that on my 30s, so I won't have to be stressed out in my 20s or 40s.

Idiots. See, they're trying to use synergy to weave these bullet points together. Get enough quality sleep at night. If I wanted advice on sleep, I'd go to bullet points. 5. Exercise regularly. Why isn't that a tip? Why is exercise regularly? Oh, it's bullet point number 7. So now we're just recycling bullet points within other bullet points. We're getting incepted by MedStarhealth.org. Really? You're saved, get regular exercise. You can do it all the way to number seven. That should have been like number two. It should have been way above the nicotine use.

Come on, MedStar Health. You're killing me here. Get regular exercise. I exercise five to six times a week. I still got to do my 15 push-ups today. It's always tougher when you're sick and had a beer. Maybe that's why they say, don't drink when you're sick because you can't do your daily push-ups.

That's the type of advice MedStar Health should be giving out. None of this try to lead a healthy lifestyle Bullshit. Metstar Health and I are beefing. It's my birthday on Monday. I know we kind of buried the lead. This is the birthday podcast. No big shenanigans like in the past.

But yeah, we won't have a show on Monday. We'll see you next weekend. We're not closing this show right now, just thinking out loud. We still got our trivia question. Turning the big 3-1. Going out to dinner. My sister-in-law is watching the dog, which is very gracious of her.

And, yeah, I don't know. Birthday on a Monday, man, that's tough. It's just not that thrilling. Birthday on a Monday, you're sick. It's just, it is what it is. But thanks to everyone. Another great trip around the sun here as we dive headfirst into season nine of the Beantown podcast.

You know, as we get into our final segment of the show here, our trivia question, we used to do a lot. And this is reflective of just my own personal taste and preferences. I used to spend a lot of time on the movies here in the Beantown podcast. First couple seasons. We would even do an annual Oscar special with Dear Friend of the show, Ryan Austin English, who you know from his own long-running podcast, rest in peace, the car ride convos. podcast. His YouTube channel, Rieck Entertainment. Even had a great Discord for a while there coming out of the pandemic.

That Discord was hot man. They'd live stream games on Twitch. It was a lot of fun. Love those days. Anyways, we don't do Oscar specials anymore, although Ryan and I are still close friends. He's a fan of the Falcons, which is a tough beat for him because their first round pick last year. Just got charged with three felony accounts for, assaulting his girlfriend and evading the police.

So that's pretty good because they traded up. They traded away this year's first round pick to the Rams to get him, James Pierce. So Ryan's probably feeling pretty good about his Atlanta Falcons right now. And they trade or they signed Tuatunga Vailoa. Don't ask me to spell that one. Not going to happen. So between Michael Pennix and Tuatonga Viola, hard to say. They're going to have like half of a competent quarterback, which is pretty exciting.

But they're left-handed and edgy, so it's cool. But let's not beat around the bush anymore. You don't need to hear me reminisce about friends and left-handed quarterbacks and Keisha Lance Bottoms. It's our Oscars show Oscars trivia. I, you know, progressively in the last five, six years have gone further and further checked out from the Oscars and Oscar nominations. Rachel and I were just watching like a rundown last night of all the best picture nominees.

And I think there's what, 10? tens what they've been doing lately. I think we saw organically like three or four of them. Back in the day, I would, for a couple of years in my mid-20s, I would go out of my way to watch all the best picture nominees. And that has completely fallen off in the last five years or so. But we'd seen like one battle after another. Bagonia.

I don't have the list in front of me. One or two others. Not Hamnet. Didn't see Hamnet. see train dreams didn't see the brazilian one didn't see the swedish one or norwegian whatever it was it has uh what's his name scars guard in it so i assume it's norwegian or uh swedish rather but i don't actually know that if that's true or not so yeah we're pretty out of touch oh sinners we saw so i think we saw like three or four of the ten essentially not great not bad

but here's my question for you so conan o'brien is hosting this year and he's actually going to become well i was going to say this i don't think that's he hosted last year is that right and he's hosting again or is this time around his first time i actually don't remember how that worked anyways my question it's not going to be relevant either way uh because it hasn't happened yet if this is his second time i can't remember but my question is very simply put there are nine people in history you've hosted multiple Oscars, two or more Oscar ceremonies. Give me as many as you can. So they range from having hosted three times. Apparently there's no two time only hosts. Three times is the minimum.

Either one time, zero times, three times or more. And then the top is 19. And we'll go in order from least to most, nine to one. So if you want to pause, give yourself a moment or two. I did not play long at home before I wrote down the list, but I think I could have. gotten, I don't know, probably about half of them. Four, I think four, I could confidently get. Five is stretching it. And then there's one or two people on here. I don't even think I've ever even heard of.

So good luck. Some British dude from the 50s. So yeah, name the nine people in history. They're not all males who have hosted the Oscars multiple times. If you want more time, pause. But here we go. Let's start number nine. There's actually three tied at three.

So 9-8-7. Steve Martin has hosted the Oscars three times. And I think one time was in conjunction with Marty Short. Was that just, that was like five years ago, something like that? I think that's right. I don't have that for sure in front of me, but that seems to ring a bell. Number two, this was a guy I'd never heard of, or I guess number eight. I got them in reverse order on my list here.

So number nine, Steve Martin, number eight, another three-timer. David Niven, some British guy from the 50s. I do not know him, which speaks much more to my ignorance than David Niven's fame and popularity, but I did not know who David Niven was. So Niven, Niven. And then the other person at three times, excuse me, not Jerry Lee Lewis, but Jerry Lewis, who is sort of a Beantown hero as far as Pleas Drive telethons go. All right, there are another three, another set of three for six, five, and four. Coming in at number six, the most recent one, Jimmy Kimmel has hosted four times now. And I could see Jimmy Kimmel as his show maybe winds down.

I don't know if it's actually going to end sooner or anything like that, but it just feels like he's kind of the legacy guy out there these days. People like continue to do it and enjoy doing it, collect his paycheck, and be good at it. it and then step away and you won't hear from him for a while. I could totally see him doing that as he gets into his, you know, 50s and 60s here. Another four-timer, the one female on this list, Whoopi Goldberg. I had no idea. I was totally out of the loop on this. She hosted four times.

I think Whoopie's probably done with the hosting gigs. But I never say never, right, Justin Bieber? So Whoopies at four and then a Hollywood legend, Jack Lemon. at four. I have to go pull up the great Alec Baldwin scene from Glenn Gary Glenn Ross later. See Jack Lemon. So that was 6-5-4, Kimmel, Goldberg, and Lemon. All right, now, no more ties.

This next one, number three, the third most of all time, in a league of his own at five. Another talk show host like Kimmel. Can you name him? It is here's Johnny Carson coming in at number five, or sorry, number three hosted five times in his illustrious storied career. And then the big two, they're really, you know, so far it's been three times, four times, and Carson at five, these guys really separated themselves from the pack. Coming in at number two, nine-timer, Billy Crystal, of course, Oscar's legend.

And then can you name the number one, the all-time king of Oscar, number one, with a whopping 19 times. That's right, 10 more than Billy Crystal did. Number one on the list is Bob Hope. So there you go. There's our top nine people who have hosted, or the only nine people who have hosted the Oscars multiple times, Steve Martin, David Niven, Jerry Lewis, Jimmy Kimmel, Whoopi Goldberg, Jack Lemon, Johnny Carson, Billy Crystal, and Bob Hope.

That happens. Your kid gets sick and falls out of the back of your car. That happens. But who's getting, you know, at that stage in the game, you're in like your 60s.
