Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David Furnace. Welcome to my show Quinn David Furnace presents the bean town podcast for Friday. It's a Friday fabulous show. It's trying to think of a third half, but I couldn't come up with it. A fabulous Friday feast, although haven't eaten anything yet. So your feasting on bean town, okay? Your feasting on, it's a Friday afternoon, and we're pretty much feeling done with work, although some of us yours truly are doing back-to-back six-day work weeks, which is wicked.
Starting point is 00:00:45 It's wicked, hard. You know, you're coming to just hang out for a little bit, right? It's Friday, it's kind of that midday law where you're, you know, you're kind of finished up with your work, but it's not quite yet time to open up the bottle of whiskey or brandy or hand sanitizer, whatever you're indulging in, you know, around four o'clock, five o'clock, I gotta tell you, I have no issue with breaking open the bottle at 1 p.m.
Starting point is 00:01:13 It's 1 p.m. on a Friday afternoon for those of you listening to the audio. But here's the thing, I need to go, I need to work out later this afternoon. So it's just, once I get that first sip,'s, I'm out for the rest of the day. I have never really tried to work out after drinking alcohol, but except for in college, when we would, we would spike some Hawaiian punch with vodka, put that in our water bottles and go play basketball at the gym and get really, really wasted.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Cause you, what would happen, we would get, we would get drunk going into it. And then instead of, you know, filling up with water in between pickup games, you would just chuck some Hawaiian punch and vodka. And just get, you know, really dehydrated and have a really fun time. My layups were definitely,ups were definitely not going in
Starting point is 00:02:07 after a couple of sips of that, but they weren't going in without it regardless. So my name is Quinn Fernis, and this is my show, Quinn David Fernis, Presented Bean Town podcast, welcome. I am the creator, director, best boy, all that fun stuff going on. And I am happy to welcome you in on a
Starting point is 00:02:25 Friday afternoon. It's been a very busy week for me. There's a lot going on. We've got lots to talk about here, but I'm going to try to do it pretty quickly, pretty efficiently. You know, because last week was a last week was a big endeavor. Last week, of course, our fourth annual Bean Town podcast, Plets Drive, Fundraiser, Telephone Extraordinaire. It's the fourth year we've raised money this year. All of our funds are being matched to the Chicago COVID-19 Relief Fund
Starting point is 00:02:58 in partnership with United Way, right here in Chicago. And I'm getting ready to cut that check. The telephone is over. That was last week, Plets Drive Month is all February, right here in Chicago. And I'm getting ready to cut that check. The telephone is over. That was last week, Pledge Drive Month is all February, however. And so we still have another two and a half days to go with that.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Early next week, Monday, perhaps Tuesday, whenever I have time, we will cut that check. An update on in terms of how we are doing and I am still expecting a little bit more to come in this weekend. We're currently at $306, which is really exciting. Our goal was, I believe, 180, 200 something like that. So we took our goal and just went, blue right past it, which is very exciting. We have hit our goal every single year. And if you're thinking like, well, what do you do? You just like undershoot and everything so you go no the goal has changed last year it was
Starting point is 00:03:50 it was like two something this year it was you know 180 something whatever last year we raised almost four hundred dollars so it's where we continue to hit our goals which is very exciting and a couple of housekeeping things number one one, at the end of Pleasure, I have one of the, we are going to be raffling off this fun laugh factory.com free ticket worth $20. No cash value though. So that's, we're going to be able to, you know, do a fun little, there's an online raffle wheel.
Starting point is 00:04:19 I don't remember the exact URL, but actually just used it for something else this week. So we're going to put all of our donor names into the hat, the proverbial hat, and we're gonna raffle that off at the start of next week, and I will include that in your donor tier letter, if you will. As a reminder, anyone who donates,
Starting point is 00:04:39 you're getting a live shout out on the podcast, and that's gonna come in just a couple of seconds here. If you hit $25, I believe that's our goal level member, you're getting a signed autographed picture of yours truly, Quinn de Vifernis. And then I think, or $20 for the gold, gold member, I think, and then 35 is our Topaz Elite member. I believe that's what it was. That's going to get you a live interview, live on the podcast. And we did have multiple people who hit that Topaz Elite mark so I want to thank everyone who did hit that but we need to thank everyone who is part of this telephone fundraiser so we're just going
Starting point is 00:05:13 down the line I want to thank Steve F I want to thank Andrew Denison my uncle I want to thank Matthew Feedler I want to thank Abby F I want to thank Margaret Denison Jack Fernis Quinn Fernis. I want to thank Margaret Denison, Jack Fernis, Quinn Fernis. Oh, that was my mom. Jane Denison, Fernis Doctor, Jane Denison, Fernis Walther, Fernis Betty Ramos,
Starting point is 00:05:32 Anna Ougunike, and we're expecting at least one or two more donations. And then thank you again to everyone who called. It's just kind of a fun day. It's a silly thing that we can do, obviously. But it actually goes towards, It's just kind of a fun day. It's a silly thing that we can do, obviously. But it actually goes towards typically operating costs this year.
Starting point is 00:05:51 It did kind of cover operating costs, but it's more so for the charitable aspect of that. So we're really excited to be able to do that. Thanks everyone who was part of it last Saturday. Yeah, it's just kind of a fun little funky time to hang out, talk to some people, feel some phone calls, do some wild stuff live on the air, take our blood pressure once a year. So that's always a good time. That was kind of the peak that was last Friday,
Starting point is 00:06:18 or last Saturday, excuse me. That was a fun time. We really enjoyed doing that. And everything since then, it's just been a wild ride starting off with Monday morning. I went to the DMV. Whoa, mom, what a time. So this is something I've been thinking about for a while. So my license expires on my birthday, which is three weeks from Tuesday. Is that right? No, two weeks from Tuesday, two weeks from Tuesday, it is three weeks from Tuesday. Are, is that right? Now, two weeks from Tuesday, two weeks from Tuesday, it was three weeks from this last Tuesday. And I'll preface this by saying there wasn't
Starting point is 00:06:52 an immediate urgent need to physically do it before it expires or when it says it expires, because Jesse White or beloved secretary of state, who's been secretary of state in Illinois since like the 40s, has extended all license explorations until, I don't know, it's like August, October, something like that, September, I don't know. So there wasn't a pressing need, but I figure, you know what?
Starting point is 00:07:21 I don't want to ever run into a situation where I'm like out trying to buy alcohol or something and there's, you know, I'm just dealing with a, you know, a store clerk or someone cashier who just is like not in on it and it causes problems and I'm just like, you know what? I want to get a new license. Let's just take care of this. It won't be a problem. So I decide, you know what? Let's do it. Last time I went to the DMV was when I was 21 and it was super easy because I was able to go downtown to the Thompson Center. This was when I still live in Chicago or when I lived in Chicago
Starting point is 00:07:55 the first time and before I moved to Baltimore, I never had to go to the DMV in Baltimore. I never got a Maryland driver's license. So when I'm doing research on it, I realize the downtown locations are closed. So now you're thinking, what's next? What's the plan? And you should pull up a map. You should pull up, you know, especially if you're in Chicago and if you're curious about this, the Chicago land area Illinois Secretary of State offices, it is wicked, it's brutal. The downtown locations are closed.
Starting point is 00:08:37 When you take those out of the equation, you literally have the city of Chicago and it's just like a force field running around it where you just like don't have any secretariat state locations that are close. It's wicked, man, and I should mention before I start flinging around expletives that listen to discretion as advised when you're listening to the Bean Tom podcast.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Number one, location to use some language. Number two, this podcast is objectively terrible. This is very much a podcast for the people, though. You know, we're talking about real human stuff, DMVs and talathons and Netflix shows and six day work weeks, right? And I'm not, you know, the $15 minimum wage that crashed in the Senate, it doesn't affect me,
Starting point is 00:09:21 but still it'd be nice to have. So I done my research, I figured out that the closest, this is no lie, the closest DMV or Secretary of State location to my apartment up here in Rogers Park, and to anyone who lives on the north side, anywhere, although there's one in the 4,600 block of diversity, which I guess if you live, you know, down on Lincoln Park or Lakeview, you can hop on a bus and it's not awful, but that's still that's really far west.
Starting point is 00:09:55 It's like the 5400 block of Elston. And if you don't know, Elston a a diagonal that runs, you know, Northwest to southeast And it is just that 5400 block of Elston, you know, that's basically Elston and or 50 no 5700 block no It is the is I'm getting my my numbers. It's a 5400 block. He has this between Foster and Brinmar Of Elston. It's really far. There's no trains that go out there. You can, like, if you take the brown line all the way to the end of it to Kimball, Kimball,
Starting point is 00:10:34 a fugitive watch, annual fugitive watch is coming up soon here. I watch it right before my birthday every year, St. Paddy's Day. That's exciting. That's a highlight of my year for me. You can take a brown line to Kimball and then like take an Uber for 10 minutes and pay 15 bucks or whatever, or I could just Uber right from my house and pay, you know, that'd probably be like 20, 25 bucks one way.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Or you can take, if you get on the blue line, you can go all the way to Jefferson Park and then walk about 12 minutes something like that it's almost a mile from the Jefferson Park blue line which is you know it's it's out there at 90 you know middle of the interstate that's like oh hair-ish getting close to there or you can do what I did which is get to foster and I did, which is get to foster and take that bus all the way what. So I was actually coming, I was coming from Lakeview, I was at Sleep and Night Rachel's house, wake up in the morning, on Monday morning, on our anniversary. Best anniversary ever, actually my first ever anniversary, because this is the first time I've ever been dating someone for a year. So I felt really
Starting point is 00:11:43 bad about this. It was somewhat poor planning on my part, but I just like, once I got it in my head that I was gonna do it on this day, it was just like, that's it. I'm gonna do it on this day. Once I put my mind to something, it's happening. So I wake up, literally alarm goes off at 5 a.m. on a Monday morning, which blows.
Starting point is 00:12:02 I mean, that's tough. For me, like whatever, but I felt bad waking Rachel up. So I'm like, you know, she's lying down sleeping, kind of sleeping, she's probably actually awake, but I'm like getting all my stuff together and it's like, I gotta get there early. So the DMV opens at 7.30. And I'm going for the real IDs,
Starting point is 00:12:24 which is, you know, Monday only at the DMV, real ID. Which if you don't know, Real ID is a federal requirement that has been like, they've been trying to introduce for a really long time, and that keeps getting pushback every year. And I was just like, excuse me, you know what, it's an option, I want to do it. Basically, you need to get the real ID to use it at TSA and the airport, I think is like where it comes into play mostly. And they, again, had Illinois push that requirement back to like October 1st or something. It was originally supposed to happen years ago.
Starting point is 00:13:03 But I was just like, you know what, let's was originally supposed to happen years ago. But I was just like, you know what, let's get this out of the way too. I do fly pretty much always 100% of the time with my passport. So it's not an issue, but it's just like, you know, I have to go digging through my backpack to, you know, kind of pull it out. It'd be nice to just have my license, whip it out, boom, got the star on it right there. So I'm like, let of pull it out. It'd be nice to just have my license, whip it out, boom. Got the star on it right there. So I'm like, let's do the reality. Jarvis license renewal all in one. It's gonna be, you know, together, boom.
Starting point is 00:13:32 So I wake up, I leave Rachel's at like 515. I was shooting to hop on a 22 with her, weren't any available. So I go all the way to the red line. You can take that up to burwin And is really cold. I mean this is right before I mean now in Chicago. It's like 40 degrees sunny out like it's it's summer out here But this was right at the tail end of the just shit show that has been February of like sub zero temps
Starting point is 00:14:03 Snow everywhere a three feet high, nothing is shuffled out. Yada, yada, yada. So I get up to Berwin, and thankfully I got lucky. There's a, there's a, the Foster bus picks up at Berwin. There's a bus waiting right there. So I hop on it, take it all the way out,
Starting point is 00:14:18 like very easy trip so far, still very far though, right? You gotta take it all the way from the red line, which is 1200 West out to, you know, Elston, which is, I don't know, like, 46, 4700 West, something like that, where it intersects. It's a diagonal. So I get off, and basically you get off at Foster, and Elston, you just got to walk down Elston
Starting point is 00:14:39 for about nine or 10 minutes down to the Mariano's, where the DMV is. And man, I tell you what, it's dark outside, nothing is shoveled. I get out there like 6.30 in the morning. And it's just like windy and I am super cold. I brought heavy-duty gloves, the hat, the hood, the winter coat, all that fun stuff,
Starting point is 00:14:59 but it was still just brutal. So I get into the line and I may be like, this is why I got there early. I may be, you know, 15th, 20th in line, something like that, which isn't that bad. Because I tell you what, when I eventually left and I'm jumping the gun, although there isn't that much left to this story, when I eventually left the DMV, it was about 8.15 AM. The line must have had at least 80 people in it or something, and this is 8.15, 45 minutes after it opens. So this is why I got into line at about 6.40
Starting point is 00:15:34 in the morning, so I could do this. So yeah, I waited in line, and then eventually there were a whole bunch of different reasons that people had to leave. Either they were there for the wrong thing, or whatever, yada, yada, yada. So the line gets weeded out, and eventually I'm all the way up to like seventh in line.
Starting point is 00:15:52 So it wasn't too bad, I got in there right away, get my picture taken, I got lucky, because Sunday night I went to bed, my hair was crazy, like right now, my hair looks solid, I think, you know, for what it's worth. But Monday morning, I woke up and the hair was just, I looked like fucking Goku from Dragon Ball Z. And I had to, I just put on my, my, my, my tooke, my, my beanie and just slick it back and didn't take it off until literally the, the moment my picture was taken. And I have my temp ID back in my backpack.
Starting point is 00:16:28 I haven't looked at it this Monday, but it turned out well. Like, all things considered. So I get the photo, and I was super on point with my documents, right, because you got to, especially for the real ID, you need like, I brought my social, my birth certificate, my passport, my driver's license, and three, you only need two, but I figured let's get three for backup, three, proof of residency docs. So shout out to Rachel and Rachel's family for lending me a print my docs there when I was at their house maybe three weeks ago,
Starting point is 00:17:05 something like that. So it's like bank statement, my renters insurance policy and something else. I don't remember. Oh, utility bill, my comment bill. So I was like, boom, here's this, boom, here's that. The only thing they didn't ask is if I wanted to change my height and weight. Obviously, my height hasn't changed since I was 21, but my weight on my current license reads 210, which I feel like it didn't weigh that much when I was 21, but I guess they
Starting point is 00:17:36 did. Anyways, my weight has, at a certain point ballooned way up past that, and now it's way down below that. So it's kind of like, hey, you know, I'm a new man, new look, Monday morning, this is me now, but I didn't get the opportunity. So my new license that I have for another four years is still gonna read 210, but I don't really care.
Starting point is 00:17:57 So I get all that boom, boom, boom, and I get out and make the long trek home. And after all this, because you got to take a bus back towards the, back towards the lake, get off, wait for another bus, take that home, then walk home from that bus. After all that, waking up at 5 a.m., trudging through the snow, you know, zero degrees out.
Starting point is 00:18:17 It was only seven minutes late to work. So I'm very proud of myself. Moral of the story, if you're gonna go to the DMV specifically the Elsin One, which for people who use public transportation to live on the north side, like you can see of that or a diversity, and they're both super far out.
Starting point is 00:18:33 There is nothing close, nothing is easy, nothing is convenient. Even if you have a car, it's like, go to the burrs, go to one of those, it's tough. But Moral of the story is, by the time the place physically opened at 7.30 a.m. of the story is by the time the place physically opened at 7.30am in the morning, it was, I mean, there had to have been at least 60 to 70 people online, which, you know, if it's weather like this, it's like, yeah, you know, you know, bring a book or something
Starting point is 00:18:58 hang out, like, you know, just whatever. But when I went, you know, back when we were still under deep freeze mode, it's just, I mean, I was doing little dances, I was practicing some of my TikTok dances. And, boy, I tell you what, if you're not watching the live stream right now on YouTube, you're missing out on some great TikTok dance moves, right? I'm like Addison Ray, Charlie D'Amelio, got the moves. More of the story, if you don't have to go, don't go. If you do, and your work is flexible and allows you to do something like this, try to get there at a more recent, a lot of people say like, go over lunch hour. For me, it's just not an option. Like, I've got work
Starting point is 00:19:46 and work is super busy right now, which is why I'm podcasting during work hours on a Friday. It is, though. I just, in the type of person who likes to front load my work schedule.

There's six total and it's a show with a big twist and we don't know the big twist yet So I can't even give you spoilers So let me let me pull up our ads here and then we'll dig into our second half of Today's program. Home Pride Oregon, oh, they're good friends of the show. Are you tired of selling your house for less than a quarter

But, you know, we're gonna need to get a second one, especially once we do some of these
Starting point is 00:22:01 some of these plug-strive interviews. It's too much of a hassle to be like, here's the phone, here's the mic, like bring, bring, this is Quinn, thanks for calling. Speaking of which, I made a custom voicemail, and I don't think anyone ever heard it besides me, because no one, we didn't like miss any calls or anything last Saturday, but I made a custom voicemail
Starting point is 00:22:24 greeting for the pledge drive telephone fundraiser, and it was pretty comical. we didn't like miss any calls or anything last Saturday, but I made a custom voicemail greeting for the PleasDrive Telephone fundraiser. And it was pretty comical. It's a shame that no one ever heard it, because I've gone back to my default one. But I did have, I had a recruiter, not for a job, just for like a focus group, call me on Monday. And I think I still had my, I think I still had my custom greeting, voicemail greeting up on my line because they left a very perplexed voicemail. Speaking of which, I did a,
Starting point is 00:22:55 I'm not sure what kind of NDA I signed on this, but basically I can say that I did a online clothing, online shopping for clothing like online diary diary, this past weekend, over the course of five days. And there are all sorts of social media posts that I was doing and, you know, screenshotting and, you know, gabbing about clothes and shopping. And it was quite a time. I'm all in it for the hustle, trying to make big buckos over here, especially
Starting point is 00:23:27 after how much I had to pay in with my negative tax refund. I want to do a quick ad read for our dear friends at Cuts by Q and we just got a little fresh cut by Q earlier this afternoon. It was finally nice enough outside where I could just go plop on the deck for five minutes and give a little side cut. Ooh, we got a fun message from an unknown viewer. It says, my first daffodil has a flower. I don't know what that means. Probably some sort of sexual innuendo.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Let's move on here. Hopefully we don't get the chat hacked. Bob and weave, we all know the hairstyle and 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. It's like Enter Samman only slightly different. Cuts by Q has been independently owned and operated since 1995 and is probably one of the better barbershop operations. That's how we are officially classified for tax purposes. We are a barbershop operation Serving let's see where are we serving Chicago city Chicago Cook County, North-West Indian and the greater Chicago land area from
Starting point is 00:24:35 B. Hives to banks, fo-hawks to flat tops and This sexy little fade you're looking at on the YouTube stream and everything in between you got a to call Cuts by Q815298 7200 7200. Although it is also 7200 or you can email Cuts by Q8 Yahoo.com again that's cut. It's QU TZ by Q at Yahoo.com. All right, singing with us on the live stream. Oh, you need a fresh stream. Oh, you need a fresh do something snappy and new just call the experts at cuts by Q did a little shimmy on the live stream. We're getting more messages. I think YouTube stream it says no three laughing emojis my daffodil plant has they fought has a flower flower. That's good. I'm happy.
Starting point is 00:25:27 But none of my plants have flowers, although none of them are supposed to. So if they did, that would be like a Guinness world records sort of thing. I mentioned at the top of the show that we were going to be quickly reviewing a recent Netflix show that Rachel and I started watching last weekend and we'll probably finish watching this weekend if we have time, although I have to work tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:25:50 The show is called Behind Her Eyes. It's the sequel to the Kelly Clarkson hit Behind Her Hazel Eyes. Here I am once again. I'm torn in pieces. Great, great tune. And no, it has nothing to do with that song. I don't think, I'm not sure. Is on the British Nutflix, I have no idea. I don't live in Webritten. I live in Chicago. So you'll have to do a Google search.
Starting point is 00:26:17 I don't know, it probably takes five seconds to find out. It is a British show. So I would bet it's on the UK version of that Flix. Basically you got this lady, this African-American female who is a secretary three days a week at a psychiatrist's office. And before you ask me, no, I don't have any answers for you. I don't know how this lady survives working three days a week.
Starting point is 00:26:47 Look, she's living, I was gonna say the American dream, but it's in Britain. So she's living the British dream. Working three days a week, she has a kid. His name is like Goose or Sully or something like that. It's this little kid with glasses in an Afro. He's maybe seven years old. And she only works three days a week
Starting point is 00:27:06 and she's got this decent apartment with a fun little balcony. So no, I don't really know where her money's coming in. Definitely something sinister. You know, there's a big twist in this show that everyone is talking about. Not the twist itself, but the fact that there is a twist. And we don't know what the twist is yet. I'm guessing this lady deals beautiful snow white cocaine powder for
Starting point is 00:27:33 her to afford this lifestyle only working three days a week. Where do I sign up? So the show opens and she lives alone with her son. She's divorced, custody battle, Kramer, Kramer, all that fun stuff. And she goes out for a, I'm trying to think of the British slang for it, a wee bit of taking or something. That's just what they say in Britain for having a drink. And so she's supposed to meet this friend,
Starting point is 00:28:06 and who's probably her cocaine hookup, I don't know, and deals with Yobos. Maybe that's the term. She goes out to deal with a Yobo, okay, which in Britain just means go out for a wee little drink. And she goes out and she gets stood up by her friend, she's about to leave and she bumps into this sky, whose name is like Trevor or Richard or Scott
Starting point is 00:28:31 or something, I don't really know. She spills a drink all over them. They end up having a fun night as they leave. They smooch and it's like, oh, so romantic. Like she finally met a man, whatever. So she goes home. She shows up to work the next day, which happens to be one of the three days a week that she actually goes to work, a lazy ass. And she finds out that it's the first day
Starting point is 00:28:50 of this new psychiatrist. She works at like a conglomeration office or something that has multiple psychiatrists working there. It's just not not just one. And it's this guy that she smooched. He's there. He's the new doctor, day one, and his wife is there on day one of the job too, which is weird, who brings their wife to their first day of work. I don't have any answers. It's all this British culture stuff, I don't understand, okay? But his wife's there and she is really creepy,
Starting point is 00:29:21 like, look into her eyes and it is just dead inside. I don't, ooh, it is weird. So all of a sudden, you know, this, the black lady, I don't remember her name, it's like Janice or something British, like Agatha maybe. And she's like hiding because now, you know, she has to be this new secretary. Anyways, that's, and then she kinda,
Starting point is 00:29:44 the guy's wife, the doctor's wife is like really creepy and like clearly has some issues. And also, she be friends, Agatha, the Black lady or whatever her name is. I don't remember the wife's, the white wife's name. Her name is like Julian or something, I don't know. And so they become friends. So now, you know, the secretary who works only three days a week with a little kid, Goose or something, I don't know. And so they become friends. So now, you know, the secretary who works only three days a week
Starting point is 00:30:07 with a little kid, Goose or Russell, whatever his name is. She's now, you know, in a sultry, Torrid affair, smooching this doctor that she works for. And she is Jim buddies with this other lady. So that's basically the premise of the show and it's very clear that something is way off something is not right and We have another message in the chat says yo-bos are gangs of people who do graffiti and drugs Well, that's probably who she's hanging out with behind the scenes because she's got to have some sort of hook up to
Starting point is 00:30:43 Afford this this lavish lifestyle. So we watched the first three episodes and I'm going to be honest, I don't love it, but it's one of those things where it's just like we're far enough in now, there's only three more, you know, 15 minute episodes, like let's just go, let's finish it. And I got to see what this twist is, that everyone's talking about. You want Buzzfeed and it's all you can see. Buzzfeed is just the newest Netflix or Hulu show or the Bachelor or 36 fun plastic gadgets made in China. That China, you never knew how to live without until now.
Starting point is 00:31:21 That's all a Buzzfeed right now. And always has been, anyways. The last thing I mentioned, there is a news. You might have seen the news story drop about this new online newspaper, started by a couple of UChicago students out of all places. UChicago, some a couple of young white girls to try to counteract cancel
Starting point is 00:31:46 culture, which is great. I saw this tweet, or I don't know exactly what it was, but I saw a tweet on Twitter, typically a good spot to find tweets. Early this week, that I really resonated with saying it's not cancel culture, it's consequence culture, which amen. Like, yes. So these two UChicago white girls have started their online newspaper. I guess it's kind of like, you know, Breitbart 2.0 or like Alex Jones daughters maybe, or if you ever had the opportunity to visit return, what is it called? Return of Kings? Is that what it was called? Something of Kings.com?
Starting point is 00:32:30 What was that? It was active when I was in college. And yeah, so basically what this was, it was like a really toxic masculinity website, but like completely serious. And it was still on until I was in, until a couple of years ago, it was a thing in college that we like made jokes about. And what occasionally like going to a very liberal school in my undergrad would like to you know like make jokes and like link people to it
Starting point is 00:33:09 etc. Whatever. But return of kings if you've never been you can still go to the website. It's been on hiatus for the last two and a few years so there's nothing new posted on there. Well, let's see their most, let's see some of their top stories. So Amazon has banned nine of my books without explanation from Roosh V. He's the founder of this. The damaging effects of Jewish intellectualism and activism on Western culture. So they're really going for a lot of different angles here. Anti-Semitic, racist, misogynist, they're really trying to check off all your boxes here.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Two signs to identify a liberal in disguise. I love that. This is the perfect embodiment of this site. Not only is it identifying liberals in disguise, whatever. But it's not like your standard news article or clickbait word be like five signs or 10 signs. It's two signs. Got it.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Got another message in the chat. The only thing I hear on TV is stay home, protect the NHS stay lives. Okay. I'm not really sure. Yes. 35 pretty girls who became fat and ugly. Seven ways modern women treat men like dogs.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Comfort will not give you meaning in life. What does that even mean? The devolution of the West can be seen through popular sports. If you hate the patriarchy, give us back our electricity. Okay, this is the last thing I'm going to do and then we're going to call it quits. I just let's read this article. Hopefully it's not too long. Oh, it is really long. Let's just read the, let's just read the beginning. This, this article,
Starting point is 00:34:58 I'm not joking, you can go to Return of Kings.com. If you hate the patriarchy, give us back our electricity. Down with the patriarchy, shout a blue-haired, non-binary, non-gender conformity thing at the top of its shrill lungs. Has a world gone mad? Has the apocalypse finally come? What is going on here? Is there a virus in the water? No, it's just Tuesday at a university in America. And the blue-haired, oh we got an ad. The ad says, stop getting tricked by bad girls who are pretending to be good. Got that right. And the blue haired shrieking thing happens
Starting point is 00:35:30 to be your professor, have fun at school, fellas. And then here are the different section titles in this article, traditional gender roles, men's technological inventions, empower women. Women don't behave like men. There's a lot of fun pictures your truth is sexist and then electricity internal combustion engine okay okay this article is really oh wait wait wait I gotta just go back to this one little
Starting point is 00:35:56 section because I caught the headline this this section of the article and I can't keep track of this article is actually about it's titled shout out to the ladies this section reads, personally, I love women. Besides giving us life and sustaining us in our early years, women contribute immensely to life and culture. They often make great professionals alongside men in the workplace,
Starting point is 00:36:17 and women's contributions to broader society are notable. Of course, we'd all be rough broods and life wouldn't be worth living without the refining presence of women. I love it. I love it. Here's, oh, the top comment is from a user named Maverick and it's got 163 upvotes. Feminists with an apostrophe between the T and the S were never about a quality only dominance. If all men took one day off from their jobs, the economy worldwide would snap in half.
Starting point is 00:36:47 No doctors, pilots, truck drivers, tradesmen would be devastating. If women take the day off, well, it would be business as usual and likely go unnoticed. We got a lot of, there's so much in the chat, and I appreciate the listener engagement. I don't know what this is. This is a British headline, well, no,
Starting point is 00:37:13 it's from Return of Kings. Kate Gareway reveals she's not allowed to see husband Derek in hospital, I had it in two months. I think that's from Grayson Anatomy. Kate is from Good Morning, Brynn. I gotta tell you what, guys, I am, I'm, I'm going to stop the stream because things have gone off the rails. We're reading from Return to Kings.
