Beantown Podcast - Happy Feet 2 Hot, Life Size Lasagna, and Golden Age Classics (01232026 Beantown Podcast)

Episode Date: January 24, 2026

Quinn comes to you LIVE to discuss Hugh Jackman's Elvis impression, gravy dunks, and breeding grounds

Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David Furness. Welcome to my show. Quinn David Furness presents the Beantown podcast for Friday, January 23rd, 2026. What's happening? What's going on? How are you? My name is Quinn, and I am the creator, the host, and best boy. Just a classic best boy. Maybe wardrobe. Rachel was commenting my wardrobe earlier and a simple beanie and a thick Vikings hoodie and flannel pants and she made some racy comments that can't make it to air here you have to get the bleep button ready Wow wow wow what's going on it is cold What do we think the feels like is right now

I don't know I don't know if I close out of this app do I lose the music I don't want to do that we'll get our research team on that it's about 5 p.m. here what's the feels like negative 11 on the feels like not bad I woke up this morning it was actually kind of like Christmas with the excitement I had because I was like I got to check all these not just Chicago but I wanted you know a lot of the podcasts I listened to her in Minnesota base and people were talking oh it's going to be this this you know cold or oh up in Grand Forks, you better watch out. The windchills going to be this and this.

I actually, I bopped around a couple of cities. I went to Fargo and I went to Duluth and I went to Brainerd this morning at like 6 a.m. on my weather at Giddy with excitement. And they were all kind of the same. It was all like negative 35 or something. So I don't know if that's kind of the thresholds where, you know, I don't know. When did the trees start exploding? That's really what I want to know about.

I've seen some really good tweets on my timeline the last 24 hours about exploding trees. I think one of the referenced gifs or short video clips was from Sicario. Emily Blood's like walking towards the window and all she gets blasted away. I think she's fine. She's the main character in the movie. Socario is a great film. We'll talk films in a little bit here with her trivia question because the Oscar nominations came out yesterday. But Sicario is one of those excellent films that I have only ever seen once.

And as far as, like, movies that I've seen that I would be 100% down for rewatch go, I think I'd put Sicario high on my list. I don't know. Research team, have you ever seen Sicario with Emily Blunt and Benicio del Toro, I think, is in it? So, yeah, it's, what, Denis Villeneuve. Is he the one who did it? Sicario 2015 that sounds about right there's some research department confirmed Sicario is 2015 I've got some of these movies in my head where it's not even it's just like the

when I envision the title of the film I got the year in parentheses right behind it it's like a sixth sense but it's not that impressive so it's like a it's like a fifth and a half sense kind of like when they did the Lion King and then the Lion King two then line king one and a half timon and pumba there's a little nugget for the film buffs out there you don't see a lot of movies with half in them so tip of the cap to filmmakers i think it was probably direct to video i don't know if lion king one and a half made it into theaters anywhere but i think i saw it once when it came to the library not sure uh listen discretion advised because we're not going to be talking to monaumma the whole time. Okay, it's not a Hakuna Matata show. This is real. This is gritty. This is edgy.

We go places that other podcasts are scared to go to, like south of the border and Sicario. And those are some bad ombraise. I'll tell you that much right now. Number two, this podcast is objectively terrible. And I do want to, of course, give a shout out to our friends in Pakistan. I don't know of what the whole like narcotics, you know, drug trade, blowing up bombs and tunnels under the borders like between Pakistan and Afghanistan or India or wherever. But whether you're listening from a tunnel or you're more like high class, you know, high society drugs like putting your whole face in a mountain of cocaine, wherever you're at, thank you for making us the 112th ranked comedy podcast in the Islamic

Republic of Pakistan. Probably doesn't get down to negative 35 in Pakistan, but maybe if you go up to the Karakorum, K-A-R-A-K-O-R-A-M, probably. Who knows? I probably get some chills and thrills, whether you're watching Sakaria or whether you're hiking through the Karakoram Mountains. What else is going on? It's just cold.

It's cold. It's dark. although I saw her gain in like 45 minutes of sunlight in January, which I suppose is the same thing every year, but that's a slight glimmer of hope in our otherwise dark, desolate, and depressing life. The triple D is what they call it. Some people, diners, drive-ins, and dives. For me, it's dark, depressed, and desolate.

My sister had a friend growing up and my family loving, gave this friend the nickname double D because she was advanced for her age in certain categories there's also someone nicknamed Stick maybe this maybe we're now developing the trend of body issues coming out of my family with some of these nicknames

stick double D I don't think there was a chumbo but there may have been a chumbo behind closed doors I can't confirm nor deny that. This would be a good time to get into our animal of the week. And since it's still January, I thought, well, we got to do something cold. And there's nothing more cold than the Arctic and the Antarctic. I don't know which one's more cold, but there's nothing more cold than that. And nothing more cold, like cold-blooded, like badass than having the longest migration period or migration distance of any animal. So that's why.

animal of the week this week is the Arctic turn excuse me that's right the Arctic turn T-E-R-N it's not like you get up to Greenland and you take a right I'm talking about the bird the Arctic turn when I first came up with the Arctic turn the Arctic turn is our animal of the week about three hours ago I was thinking there's got to be some sort of really cool like big bird right not the big bird but a big bird but a big bird bird like an albatross a jesska albatross but they're actually pretty small they're kind of cute and what i liked about the google gemini ai overview beneath these pictures you know they got like white feathers kind of a black black head they kind of look like uh you remember it's going to say carry grant

but that's not right carry elwis from the princess bride when he's cosplaying as the dread Dredd Stevens pirate whatever his name is Dred Roberts, Pirate Stevens, Stevens point, something like that. He's got, he's kind of wearing like the pirate kind of bandana thing over and he's got like the mask, something like that. This is kind of what this Arctic turn looks like because just the top of his head is black. And then he's got a nice sharp kind of orange beak. But I liked what I liked about this Google Gemini overview.

The Arctic Turn, by the way, its scientific name, it's genus and species, Sterna Paradisia. That's pretty fun. It's a small graceful seabird. It's small and graceful. I like that. It was just kind of charming, right? It's famous for having the longest migration of any animal traveling from Arctic breeding grounds to Antarctic winters and back,

covering up to 44,000 miles annually. And it does confirm that it has a black cap. It's known for its aerial agility. It catches small fish by plunge diving. Maple, we got to teach you to plunge dive, buddy. We'll take you to, I don't know, we go to Graham and Grandpa's pool. We get some minnows from the creek or something.

We throw them in there. Grandpa's going to love that. And then you can plunge dive. You can be like a little, when the ducks do that, their feet are waddling up in the air. That could be you, Maple. She's sleeping, so she's not really listening. Something I liked about this overview, it talks about Arctic breeding grounds.

And that got me thinking, you know, what really goes into making something a good breeding ground? I'm thinking you're going to want a lot of like soft velvety pillows, dark mood lighting, Barry, Barry White, I was going to say Barry Gibb, but probably more Barry White. But I don't know. I could see the BG's plan, the background of some Arctic breeding grounds. You know what? I, you know what, always kind of got me a little bit hot and heavy is that scene in happy feet. Where it's like, you know, it's kind of the end of act one where Mumble, he's like graduating

high school, right? And they go on like the class trip to the iceberg. And it's getting really hot and heavy because it's like, you know, it's a weird, if we can just settle on, you know, Arctic turns are close enough to penguins. If we can just settle on this for a second, The tone of Happy Feet is kind of bizarre because it's like it's a kid's movie, right? It's an animated movie about penguins. And the kid, the little penguin, Elijah Wood, he's got to find his voice, literally, because he doesn't like to sing and all the other penguins like to sing and he likes to dance. So it's a great message.

And then 20 minutes, you know, 15, 20 minutes into the film. By the way, his dad is like Elvis, right? Who plays, you know, Daddy Happy and Happy? feet because he's doing like an elvis impression isn't he and anyway we'll get our research team on that which i'm happy to do myself it's okay i i searched for hopi feet like i don't know if that's like a blackfeet indian kind of offshoot but i found it regardless happy feet uh cast who was uh hugh jackman it was that hugh jackman was doing a was doing a uh Elvis impression in happy feet i don't know what the thought behind that was getting an Australian guy trying to be Elvis.

And his name is Memphis, which is, I never met a penguin named Memphis until I watched Happy Feet. I frankly, I haven't met a penguin named Mumble either, so I get it. But, yeah, so they go to this island. It's Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman, by the way. Big movie for the Australians. And they're like, they're like bumping and grinding. In fact, there's a great clip of, not great clips, but great clip. of mumble and this girl he's trying to pursue and they're kind of like fumbling and bumbling all

over the place and at one point they are absolutely in missionary position for way too long a solid two and a half seconds i would say you can go find the clip on youtube if you want to have a good friday night and this is it's a kid's movie it's like 15 minutes in it's like a high school graduation class trip or something or the throw in their mortar boards in the air as penguins are want to do. And the next thing you know, what does Mumble do? He gets, he gets like, I was going to say castrated. That's not it.

He gets, like, cast off from the colony. Or maybe he gets finding Nemo. I can't remember how it goes. And that's when he runs into Robin Williams. Yada, yada, yada. We're not going to recount the entire plot of Happy Feet. But it's just kind of, yeah, it's kind of like R&B sexy music. So I guess the breeding ground, the Arctic breeding ground,

Well, this would be Antarctic, but they probably have those too. That's definitely the inspiration, I would assume, for Happy Feet, which I saw in theaters with my mom and my sister. I don't know if, I don't know, research team you ever come across Happy Feet 2 in your time? Too Happy? I don't think that one was an Oscar pick. Rachel didn't like Happy Feet. How come? Too sexy?

Too sexy. Yeah. Well, speaking of Too Sexy, next week on the Traders, we've got a nice little dinner party, and some of these outfits are looking absolutely fab. I'd love to hear from our research team, whether they want to come directly on Mike or not, just relay messages, whatever they're comfortable with.

But what are we most looking forward to next week on the Traders? We've got a big dinner party, and the traders have to murder someone in plain sight. So when we're talking kind of Oscars red carpet, since this is kind of an Oscars themed week, what should we, who should we be watching out for? Who's caught your attention? What are they wearing? I don't know, anything from the research team.

I saw that Colton, the gay stalker, he's got like some weird beads and no shirt and something on his head. I don't remember what it was. I don't know if we got anything else. I'm sure Johnny Weir's going to be nuts. Johnny Weir was one of those guys who I remember watching as a kid growing up in whatever Olympics he was at was like 2002, probably like 2006, is my guess, is where Johnny Weir skated, Turin, Italy. And I just remember him standing out because he was so flamboyant and my mom was not a fan

because of his flamboyancy. And I think that's the last time I ever thought or considered Johnny Weir. 20 years ago and all of a sudden here he is on the traders and I'm like if we can get johnny we're surely we could get sasha cohen right america's sweetheart that's the skater that people really want to see but yeah johnny weir was really a blast from the past i never expected him he's got he's got some interesting fashion we have these two uh asian contestants i don't know what they're famous from one i think is a k-pop demon hunter and then the other, is she a survivor?

What is she from? Oh, she's a chef. Interesting. I've never seen top chef, I don't think. Well, we'll have to chop, chop that later. And then, I don't know, any other interesting fashion we should watch out for? I wonder what Dorinda Medley is going to be up to. Probably wearing a power suit or something.

I'm just, in my mind, she just dresses like Hillary Clinton, whether that's accurate or not. you want to come on well I don't really want to come on but I don't have a preview for the fashion but I did hear from a friend who heard from a friend that Alan the host was on the Kelly Clarkson show and he said

next week's episode is going to be the greatest moment in all of Traders' history so you got to be ready it's going to be good maybe Lisa Renna will throw away wine glass or two right at Colton.

Who knows? More to come. All right. That's next time on The Traders. For next week, this is actually really exciting. Rachel's been working on her Scottish accent. It's not quite ready yet, but she wants to do it live on air. So we'll pencil her in for that.

Let's get to our ads here, and then I mentioned last week that we would come up with a Beantown podcast mission statement together, goals and planning for the year, 2026. Well, might as well. I was going to try to get my mic stand going and then I didn't prep. And so I only got one hand. So I'll try to, maybe we'll get the transcript later or something. Excuse me, try to type it out with one hand or something. Or maybe we don't need to type. Maybe it can just be a living audio file, you know. And we'll just play it by year, literally.

But before we do any of that, we should say thank you to our sponsor. Here we go, starting with HomePriot, Oregon. Are you tired of selling your house for less than a quarter of what it's worth? All because you couldn't find a reliable home inspector in time. Well, Oregon, listeners, they got good news for you.

Homeprideorgan inspection. perfection. I also want to give a shout out to the TV guide, or not the TV guide, no, the Samsung Q2U series. I got to take TV guide out of the rotation here on my notes app.

It hasn't been relevant for seven seasons. Anyways, the Samsung Q2U series gives you crisp, clear audio quality, whether you're hosting a fledgling podcast about banging penguins and Arctic turns, or if you are, let's say you're singing, Maybe it's back in December you're doing Handel's Messiah as part of your church group. And that's, I mentioned that because, one, it's biblical. But two, it was the answer to Final Jeopardy last night, which is a wild game. I was reading a little bit, so it's a tournament of champions. And the person who ended up winning came very close to setting the Jeopardy record

for fewest responses ever given in a winning. Jeopardy game. She responded to eight questions correctly across the entire board, which is, there's what, 60 clues, and so she responded to eight correctly. Whatever the math is on that, it's not great. It's like 12% or something

like that. And the guy who had control and just couldn't get a daily double right, he missed all three of them. I think he responded to like 29 correctly or something like that. So yeah, I think she won with like $2,000. It was I think the, I think the second or third time this week that's happened. It's been kind of a

surprisingly both challenging tournament of champions and then you know recency bias for sure but this field of tournament of champions feels particularly weak. There isn't really a you know you don't have an amy schneider or a mademotia or a holzauer or even a chris pinula who was I think in the tournament champions last year the year before and didn't end up winning a game which was disappointing, but all this is to say when God speaks, he uses Samson. I also, we don't need to do the full one on this one, but I do just want to give a quick shout out to our good friends at Cutsby Q.

And in fact, rather than read our traditional ad copy here, I will mention breaking news in the Cuts by Q ecosystem for, like, actual. We bought new hair clippers this week, a new electric hair cutting tool with, you know, all the guards and combs and brushes and Sean Combs and edging tools and oils and all that stuff, baby oil for Sean Combs. And I had, I had to go back and find my purchase history to see just how old this thing, this old one I had. I'm a wall guy, by the way, Wall Street, wall guy. That's me, W.H.L. And I realized, well, here's what happened first. I was cutting my hair outside, freezing cold last weekend. And it was just not going well, just pulling constantly.

Even though I oiled up my blades, they were just too dull, couldn't get anything going, completely stuck in the mud like the 49ers offense last week in Seattle. And the whole time I keep thinking about that Tim Robinson sketch where he's singing the, it's like the 1950s Johnny Cash era, and he's like singing about the skeletons pulling your hair up, but not out. And that's what it was like trying to give myself a haircut last week. And I realized, you know, if I'm going to be a professional, if I'm going to run this business the right way,

you've got to have the right tools. And it's not that I didn't have the right tools. It's just they were old tools. And so finally made the upgrade. I had bought my original set back in 2016. So when I was a senior in college, bought the set and got the replacement finally this week. And so I haven't given them a test drive yet because I don't have a,

a need to cut my hair again. I'm looking forward to the next cuts by Q, whether it's on me or maple or whomever, we're going to buzz right through you. We don't even need a guard. We'll give you a zero cut. $15, limited time only sale. That's a whole 25% off. Come try out the new cuts by Q cutting tools. And again, mention code Bean Town for 25% off. We'll get you a great cut. than great cuts or great clips it's cuts by cue and finally of course well the the big sporting events never stop and now you know march madness stuff starting to heat up so i got to give a shout out to my pals over at the bean town sports book hey sports head heads sorry there's multiple of you has it been too long since you made a rash decision the all new bean town sports book is now live

And we got winter Olympics coming up. I feel like, you know, U.S. sports betting has really taken off since our last winter Olympics. You know, maybe I guess in the last like decades. So maybe this is our second crack at it. But yeah, no, no, you think you can put big money on the Jamaican bobsled team or, you know, those Russian figure skaters are going to go for the quadruple axle, no cap.

So I would put good money on that. What are the odds on Sasha Cohen doing a partner's figure skating with Sasha Baron Cohen now that he's divorced from, what's her name, the Australian? What's that lady's name? She's in Wedding Crashers. We'll get to it. Isla Fisher. Isle of Fish.

That's what her name translates into in Aboriginal. It's kind of interesting. All right, the Bean Town Podcast's mission statement. I'm just going to start bebopin and scatting. I didn't write anything down. Lack of prep frequently plagues this program. And we're not typing this either. So if someone wants to grab the transcript after, that'd be great.

We'll put it on the website. But we'll see what happens with it. it. I don't know. Just think in order some good, like, good phrases, good values to have. Definitely needs synergy. That goes without saying. I want to have strong corporate responsibility and community relations. I want to make sure if we build like a little site out of this, make sure we have a page dedicated to products, solutions, and services each independently of each other. and they'll all kind of have the same content on them, even though it's products, services, and solutions.

I hate, I frequently spend time on these tech websites doing usability tests. And I hate when you got to, you know, like go down, run through the solutions page and give your feedback. And then you got to do the services page. And it's just a whole, whole big deal. The Beantown podcast is definitely committed to high-quality, collaborative, vertical-integrational community-focused work. At the Beantown podcast, we're more than just a company, were a mission, or a group of individuals, highly talented individuals across the globe. We definitely need, like, one of those, you know, one of those power plants that the 49ers are

practicing next to now. That's why all their players are hurt. We definitely need something around that. A data center. I'm thinking whatever goes on the website, I want some like computer microchips like floating in the background. That's going to be really nice. I think it would definitely be good to, yeah, like send our president, which is me out into the community and hold a giant check in front of some inner city school kids. That would be nice. That's more of a visual than a mission statement sort of thing. High-powered, that's for sure. Collaborative across disciplines. Definitely need to be cross-disciplined in interdisciplinary manner. Let's see. What else do we need? We need to be looking ahead to the future, investing in green energy, green statements,

while also supporting our farmers. We need to, oh, we definitely need some cloud stuff, 100%. We need to be at the cutting edge technical forefront of lives of society's greatest challenges with, I would say, cloud to server computing solutions. We need to create, we definitely need to improve through innovation. I definitely am focused on improving through innovation. Yeah, we need to rely on our core values. I definitely need to, we need some stuff with a spectrum.

Like we need to cross the whole spectrum of podcasts and thermotechnologies. Definitely recyclable plastics, I'm thinking we want to mention. I don't know, ethical practices, flexible work from home with free daycare thrown in, three-year maternity leave, nine if you have triplets, and all for the greater good of society's cutting-edge technological challenges. I think we got it. If someone wants to write that up,

you can email us Beantown Podcasts at yahoo.com. of this Beantam podcast at yahoo.com. Remember at Beantown podcast, Our People Are the Mission. Okay, don't you forget it. Let's see, was there anything else before we get to our trivia question here? We did our Animal of the Week.

It wasn't Maple. Sorry, buddy. And, oh, one other thing I'll mention just because this literally happened right before we started recording. Maple was looking a little bit bored, understandably, because she's not able to get a lot of stuff. when it's negative 10 degrees outside.

Excuse me. So we got out our sniff mat, which is kind of like this blooming onion kind of looking, like felt thing, and you just throw a bunch of treats in there and you kind of bury them, and she's got to go sniff and through them. And I'm sitting there watching her having the time of her life,

two paws in, two paws out. And I'm thinking between this, between watching Maple with her sniff mat and then watching Michael Rappaport eat on the traders, just no silverware needed, really, just a big bowl of, pasta and just tip it into your mouth and thinking why do people like maple and michael have to have

all the fun we need to have more um integrated is not the word i was looking for there's a word where it's like you know you're actually like in the action you're actually like in there with the food what's the word i'm looking for i don't know but you're you're involved you're integrated and like you're baking i'm you know this is kind of like willie won't Wonka-esque, but you're like baking a whole thing of lasagna, but it's, it's, you know, we're not talking like a small pan. We're talking like a lasagna that's like 12 feet long. And so you're in there, you know, usually people are, you know, you get out a little

tablespoon to, you know, to spoon your, your meat and your ricotta and your red sauce and you're kind of, you know, spreading it out just with your thumb and your index finger and a little tablespoon. Well, now you've got to shovel the whole thing like your, you're. the character's zero in holes. And you got a whole big bucket, like a Jim Baker bucket of red sauce and a shovel. And then you've got to go get your other shovel for the ricotta.

And this is just lasagna, mind you. Wait until you hear about the kibasa. And yeah, I just think we need more of these. And then when you eat it, you just get to jump right in. You can do a cannonball into the red sauce. And you climb out. There's a little ladder on the side.

You know, no one's drowning. It's like wipe out when you get bounced off the big balls. You got to swim to the side. And you climb out. Well, you climb out covered in tomato and basil and ground beef or ground turkey if you're watching your waistline like me. And, you know, maybe a little bit of provolone on top. And, of course, you got a little strip of lasagna swung over your shoulder.

And you just got, you got the whole meal. You made it. you baked it. These ovens would have to be large. I think another one that would be nice to be mashed potatoes. And then it's like, you know how in some of those water parks, they have the kind of thing in the kid zone where there's like the bucket and they fill it up.

And every two minutes it gets so full that it tips over. And then a whole process starts over and over again. I used to love those. We had a great one at Magic Waters growing up. That thing could really compress your spine if you stood in the right spot and got slammed by the water. You're making the mashed potatoes, you're shoveling it. You know, when you're peeling it, it's like you're painting the Sistine Chapel. You're stretched out your way up there trying to peel that potato.

And then the gravy bucket tips over every two minutes, three minutes, if you will, and just splashes right on your head and drops of Jupiter. This is just two things. This is just lasagna and mashed potatoes, but there's other great immersive. That's the word I was looking for. immersive food experiences where you get to be right in the middle of the action, right in the thick of it. Especially if you're doing, you know, molasses cookies, that's going to be thick. So that was just an idea I had watching Maple with her sniff mat.

All right, yesterday morning, the Oscar nominations were announced. I don't have the list in front of me, so I'm not going to go one by one or anything. We don't want that. We'll get to our trivia question in a second here. but Wicked 2 getting shut out, brutal. And I think for Tim Robinson's friendship, tough. And this leads us to our trivia question. Sinners was the talk of the town with 16 Oscar nominations.

And yes, if it sounds like a lot, it is. It's like half the categories. And yes, it does break the record for the most Oscar nominations for a single movie in history. So that brings me to my trivia question, and you'll be delayed to know that there's a bonus trivia question as well, kind of along the same lines. So the first question here is that Sinners 16 Oscar nominations

broke the previous record of 14 Oscar nominations, but it wasn't just one film in history that got 14. There was actually three of them over the years. There's three films that were previously tied to top the record board with 14 Oscar nominations each. And so you can probably see where this is going. My question for you is, is we got a dog over here with some static electricity on her ears, I think. She's looking frizzy like a science experiment.

Maple, you could have been the main character on Magic School Bus. Cruising on down Main Street, you're relaxing, feeling good. Next thing you might get banked into a pie? That's just like the idea I had about the mashed potatoes and the lasagna. It's perfect. Oh, now she's maybe throwing up. She doesn't like Little Richard. My dog is racist.

All right, so to finish the question, here it was, there were three films in history that previous, or still, but they had the record for 14 nominations apiece. Name those three films, and I will give you the years, which I think one of them, unless you're a true film buff, though year might not help you as much, but the other two, I think the year is going to help you quite a bit. So the years on these three other movies that had 14 nominations,

1950, 1950, 1997, and 2016. So those are the three years. We've got three different types of films. One is definitely a popcorn Golden Age classic. The other is more, I was going to call it modern, but it's 29 years old. But Oscar Darling, let's put it that way. And then the third one is, I guess, a decade old now. And probably isn't not going to have the staying power as at least the 1997 one,

but still well very known and had a famous Oscars moment. So if you want any more time for this question, go ahead and pause, because here are the answers. The other three films or the three films that were previously a time, top the record board with 14 noms apiece. We have all about Eve, 1950, Betty Davis, Marilyn Monroe. Titanic, 1997. I saw a great J.D. Vance quote.

He was speaking in Minnesota this week, and he said something like along, he was talking about the economy. And he said, you know, they didn't turn around the Titanic in just one year. And it's just, I don't think J.D. really knows what he's doing. although I saw him and his wife Priyanka or whatever, Priyanka Chopra, something like that, they're expecting their sixth kid, which is very exciting. Congratulations to JD.

He's still regularly getting action in the Silver House, wherever vice presidents live, I don't know. Titanic was 1997, and then the 2016 film is Lala Land. Those films all previously had. 14 or they still do but 14 Oscar nominations. I don't even know how many Lala Land ended up winning. I feel like it was obviously didn't win best picture. I think it only won one or two.

I don't think it was a ton. Or maybe I'm misremembering, but not sure. Our bonus question is in a very similar vein. Which three films are tied at 11 for the most oscarrying? Oscar wins in history. So there's three films that have 11 Oscar wins apiece. I will let you know, and when I give the years away, this is going to give one of the films away,

because I will tell you that there is one overlap here, one of the films from the 14 group, 1-11 of them. That was the 1997 film Titanic. So there are two others, and here are the years, 1959 and 2003. So Titanic won 11 Oscars, and then this 1959 film and this 2003 film, all won 11 Oscars as well.

One of them's got a cool chariot race, and one of them's got a lot of different races, from, you know, goblins to, elves to dwarves and so on and so forth. Elephants that are called like Mumakil or something? If that's right, I'm going to get myself a pat on the back. If you couldn't figure it out with those clues,

I don't know how else to help you. The 1959 film was Ben Hur and the 2003 film, of course, Lord of the Rings, the Return of the King. Yes, Google Gemini confirms Mummikil are gigantic elephant-like war beasts used by the Herodim and Tolkien's the Lord of the Rings known for their immense size, tree-trunk legs, serpent-like snouts, and tough hides. Well, this would have been awfully nice to have for Animal of the Week.

I wish I would have to Google this 45 minutes ago. It's okay. We've got to give the Arctic turns there due. And we didn't get into this because I got sidetracked talking about sexy happy feet. But I do just want to close this show by giving a tip of the cap to the Arctic turn for real, not because it's, you know, jovial nature or whatever it said. But these things are flying. It says recent studies have shown average annual round trip lengths of about 38,300 nautical miles for birds nesting in Greenland and Iceland.

Maybe that's why Trump wants to get in there. So they're flying all the way from Greenland down to Antarctica and then coming back, still finding time for breeding. grounds. Still looking cute as hell. So shout out to the Arctic Turins. They can live up to 31 years. How many trips are they making in 31 years? That's nuts. Are they doing a trip a year? Can birds fly 38,000 miles in one year? Where do they sleep? You're going to have to tune in next week for more animal investigations and animals of the week because I'm tapping out. You know, short and sweet, no need to bloat it. Just give it to you straight.

Just like mumbled it to his girlfriend on the senior class trip. For all of us here at the Beantown podcast, my name is Quinn David Furnas. I hope everyone is staying safe, staying sane. Most importantly, I hope you're staying warm. I will go ahead and check in on you next week. Bye-bye.
