Beantown Podcast - Housewife Fraud, Nobel Prizes, y Una Nueva Característica de Duolingo

Episode Date: October 11, 2025

Quinn comes to you LIVE to gab about the Real Housewives of Potomac, homemade cold brew, and the hottest celebrity butts

Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David Furness. Welcome to my show. Quinn David Furness presents the Beantown podcast for Friday, October 10th, 2025. What's going on? What's happening? How are you? My name is Quinn, and I am the creator, host, and I don't know. Taylor, what's the phantom thread? right, Daniel D. Lewis. I was just going for like wardrobe is what I was looking for because I looked down at my computer, which is on my lap, and I'm wearing some black sweatpants. I think they were like a $6 out the door, Old Navy special. And it's the first time donning sweatpants. It's a D-O-N-N-I-N-G since, who knows, May, whenever it was less chilly. We got a serious chill in the air here. It's not your ordinary chill.

Joe Chill, isn't that the guy in the Marvel comics who kills Batman's parents? It probably goes to Arkham Asylum. Joker gets him out and Batman 47. And then he's just roaming the streets of Gotham doing his own thing. I think that's who that was, Joe Chill, right? Or is it like Joe Freeze or something? It's something cool like that. Joe cool strutting the streets going out to doink everywhere.

little doggie he meets, because he's Joe cool. Joe cool is cool. We should mention listener discretion advised when you're listening to the Beantown podcast. Number one, we're engaging in some language. Number two, this podcast is objectively terrible. I'm a huge peanuts head. That's peanuts with a tea. And there's a great, I mean, there's, there's, one of the amazing things about peanuts and one of the peanuts, and one of the reasons you have to love it so much is the, the extensive music,

tree that has just grown out of the Vince Graldi seed speaking of let's just keep this going here and there's so many great covers and celebration albums and anniversaries and stuff there's a great BB King from the 90s version of Joe Cool and he's you know he's he's slapping his guitar and do dun dun dun dun Joe Kuh, strutting the streets.

It's so good. If you don't know it, you got to go check it out. I mean, there's so much richness from the Peanuts cover catalog there. But Joe Kool, you got to check them out. Pakistan, thank you for making us the 112th ranked comedy podcast in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Lahore, Karachi, Hyderabad, wherever you're listening from. Thank you. I'm drinking some Trader Joe's $15 scotch, or, yeah, scotch-bended whiskey, I think is what we got here with an ice cube in your honor. Hmm.

First sip of scotch in a while. I don't think I had, I didn't have any hard liquor last week in Las Vegas. And so we're getting back into the game here as winter approaches. I'm trying to open up my can of beer, Trader Joe's IPA, with one hand. so that I can hold on to the Samson Q2U series. It's not going well. So we're going to take five seconds to ameliorate the issue. Hang on.

Done. Speaking of Pakistan, green flag, right? Green lush pastures, which brings us to our first kind of main topic, sort of what everyone's talking about. If you go to Twitter, you see on the right hand side, what's trending, what's hot, what's not. the telitubbies Here's my question

Well first As I was thinking I was just doing Maple's training So I'm out there sitting on the staircase Playing my tuneblasts And of course I'm I'm pondering The teletubbies Although I guess in Britain

They say the telly right And so tellitubbies Easier to say telitubbies And I'm thinking You know what What were these telotubes They're like mutant aliens that live underground with screens on their bellies and weird shapes.

Kind of reminds me of the unknown Pokemon from Generation 2, gold, silver, and crystal. Pokeheads out there will get that. You know, they got the little like shapes on their head, right? It's almost like Chinese characters or something. But my bigger question here, who the heck was paying for their landscaping bill? Am I right? You got these big, lush green rolling hills. I get inside, you know, inside their bunkers, whatever, they had that little, like, vacuum.

What is it called the Noonoo or something? Was he the toaster as well? Was he doing double duty? I'm trying to remember how that worked. They're always having toast and custard. But outside, you know, I don't know if they did this intentionally, if they were able to sort of schedule the landscapers one day and do filming the next. You never saw any lawnmowers push riding or otherwise out there on those. lush hills of England or whales or wherever they shot this thing and I just feel like they really

that that set was whether it's a set or an actual green hill I don't know it was very meticulously trimmed I guess I mean that's that's a full service lawn mowing bagging weeding edging. Speaking of penis, that's peanuts, I said, not penis. There's no edging in peanuts. That's practically child pornography and frankly, we will not be tolerated on the Beantown podcast. Felony, actually, speaking of felonies, let's move past these telitubbies. I don't have anything else. If we're going to get to a five minute, a tight five on the telitubbies, that was like 20 seconds right there, so we're pretty close. Speaking of felonies, big news in the Real Housewives universe, you know, we've talked at nausea about, until you were nauseous about the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City in the past, which is ongoing. What is it, season six right now, something like that, season seven maybe. It's happening. We're like three episodes into the new season. Rachel and I still need to watch from Wednesday night, or Tuesday night, I guess it's on Tuesdays now. We'll catch up when we get a sec.

but if you go across the pond the across the river i guess to potomac specifically so that well that's the name of one of the franchise real housewise of potomac i think it's the second newest one after real houseways of salt lake city uh because like well new yorks have reboot now but that was around for forever bever hills was around for a long time or has been around i guess it's still going OC uh i've never seen but that's on Dallas. Dallas might be newer than Potomac. I don't know. Neither here nor there. About halfway through Potomac, because we're probably close to like 10 seasons now, almost 10, I would think. They introduced a new housewife by the name of Wendy Ocefo, O'S-E-F-O. She's Nigerian American. And her big, like, you know, everyone, if they're going to introduce a new cast member,

they got to come in with a storyline, right? If you're an OG, it's like you still need a storyline, but you kind of get away with more. If you're getting introduced, like you got casted for a reason. Wendy liked to advertise and still does, that she was a professor at Johns Hopkins, which it's one of those things where, like, when you say it exactly that way, it's absolutely true.

But she's an adjunct. And look, I'm meaning no disrespect to adjuncts, but she's just going out here on national television, flouting and flaunting, you know, going up and saying, I am a professor at the Johns Hopkins University. And it's just like, you're an adjunct, you're teaching at the graduate school of education, which is a solid school, but as far as education colleges go, it's not, you know, like top of the top or anything like that. And so she's always rubbed me the wrong way because I think, you know, when she came on, I was working at Hopkins, too, and it was, or I just left.

I don't know what the timing was like on that. And over time, I think she's cemented her place in Potomac. Other people have come and gone. She's hung around. She's, and I think she's a very opinionated, strong-willed, no-nonsense kind of, you know, black female. I don't want to call her an angry black female. She's not usually angry. Sometimes she is, but usually she's pretty level-headed as far as the group goes.

Certainly compared to, what's her name, Monique, she just came back, Monique Samuels, but now she's divorced. Her husband was Chris Samuels. He was an offensive tackle, I think, for the Washington Redskins of your. Anyways, why are you bringing this up, Quinn? Well, the real housewives across the board are known for having run-ins with the law here and there. And what this stuff usually stems from is either like they can't handle their liquor or their drugs or something. Like Karen Hugar is an OG

Potomac Housewife, she's still on the show, but she just got out of prison for six months for a DUI. It was like her third DUI or something. So that's a common one, but the other classic one in Housewives' land is fraud. And we were all over the Jen Shaw story, excuse me, when it came out, you know, two, three years ago, whatever, and she gets busted for, I don't even know exactly what was going on with Jen Shaw. She was, she had a company, she was defrauding

the elderly. She goes to prison. She's still there. It was originally like a, well, like a seven-year sentence that's going to end up doing only like three or four years. I think she's going to get out in like less than a year, which is kind of ridiculous. But neither here nor there. So she goes, she gets busted for fraud. And the big news that dropped this morning in Carol County, which you don't, if you don't know, is northwest of Baltimore, right on the Pennsylvania state line, which I also, I thought was funny as well, because they called this the real house as a Potomac. And so the implication is that it's basically like Washington, D.C. and the wealthy suburbs and the wealthy housewives of the Washington, D.C. suburbs, right? Well, if you know

where Carroll County is, you know, with average DMV traffic, that's what they call it, the Del Marva. It's not Del Marva because DMV is actually D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, which in Del Marva is Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. It's all very confusing. They got to get their Ds, their Ms, and their Vs sorted out. If you know anything about DMV traffic, and they don't call the DMV the DMV out there, you know, where you go to get your license renewed, it's something else. I can't remember what it is. I never went to one of those out in Baltimore because I never changed my license. so who knows never got the old 817 st paul street apartment what 306 i think printed on my license oh well uh it would take from where windy lives uh assuming she got arrested in the the town uh that she lived in which would make sense it would take you a solid two hours to get down to dc in average traffic potentially worse so even calling her housewife of Potomac feels fraudulent. Let's not bury the lead after four minutes of Heming and Hawing.

She got busted big time this morning, late last night. Her and her husband, Eddie, they're both, I think they're both like Nigerian American, maybe from the same. Their ancestry is similar, I think, is what I recall of their backstories. And Eddie's nickname is Happy Eddie, and because that was his nickname, he started his own weed line, like CBD products, weed brownies, that sort of thing. I think. It's been a while since we watched Potomac. We are not currently caught up. And they get busted for fraud is like 16 counts. A bunch of felonies. Basically, and I don't want to get sued for liable or anything like that, but my basic understanding, if I had to guess, I'm not claiming this is what happened, okay, because I know Wendy's litigious. If I had to guess what happened, based off of what I read, she and Eddie potentially had a, a home invasion got robbed, which tends to happen to housewives, too, that happened to Dorit.

That's right. Her name is Dorit. Not Dorito or Dorita, but Dorit, D-O-R-I-T in Beverly Hills, this tiny little blonde lady. And Wendy, so maybe her home got burglarized, who knows? But what happens from the fallout of this, she reports a bunch of stuff missing for the insurance claim. and like weeks later she is spotted and these pieces are all just coming out and coming together now she's spotted in doing a photo shoot at like the white house correspondence dinner or something wearing the very ring thousands and thousands of dollar ring that she claimed had been

stolen which is just like peak stupidity i mean i i'm not i'm not really like a scheming type of person And I'm not one who's particularly interested in breaking the law, particularly at the felony level. But I got to tell you, if I, whatever my motives were, if I really needed the money and I was really trying to defraud my insurance company, I would check all of my boxes, my X's and O's. I know it's harder when you, like, live a public lifestyle and you're in the spotlight. But that should even, that should heighten your awareness even more if you're like, hey, I'm going to be. out and about there's going to be cameras it you treat it like a real balmore murder or something drive over the i you the six the six eight the bay bridge whatever it is it's not the bay bridge that's that's not the one that collapsed bay bridge is the one that is down by annapolis whatever

whatever it is 685 695 i think the bridge right that collapsed a year ago in balmore what you do back in the day and what they still do you drive over the harbor you pull out your gun you throw it into the chesapeake never to be seen from again that's what you do with your rings windy if you this is a situation you can't have your cake and eat it too maybe if you were some no name like a host of the bean town podcast or something you were trying to get a 30,000 dollar claim for your ring you could continue to wear the ring and probably get away with it right because people frankly just the paparazzi isn't so hot up here in north center chicago but if you're windy and you're going to the white

house correspondence dinner how stupid do you have to be to wear this ring and you know this is just the tip of the iceberg there's a lot of other stuff that she lied about as well i just if you're gonna if you're gonna get your jewels mixed up in all this you got to dump them girl right what is john early saying the i think you should leave sketch where they're playing credit card roulette you still dating that bad guy dump him girl it's one of my favorite sketches john erorely not every single one of his like sketches or things he does it like works completely for me not that i dislike him but it's just like some of the stuff he does i love some of the stuff i'm just like okay like let's do something different but that sketch and i think you should leave absolutely killer um i lived in

mexico for i lived in egypt for a month um so yeah windy what a dumb ass and then the final thing is and look people some people are just greedy some people make bad financial decisions in many cases they're both but you're windy okay you got presumably a nice house you got an adjunct job however how much they pay you. Not a lot, but like an adjunct job at Hopkins. She's always on like CNN and stuff, making appearances talking about racial relations, race relations. And she has been a cast member on the real housewife of Potomac for like five, six years. In fact, how much do you think? This isn't our trivia question, but how much do housewives make? Let's just, it's obviously going to vary a lot from show to show and all that stuff. But this is just from New Jersey, the subreddit.

Oh, no, this is a bunch of them. This is a story from Stylecaster.com. This is three years ago. So when you consider inflation, you've got to triple these numbers. I'm just, okay, this is just a, let me try to find someone comparable who's like not been around for 15 years. This is, okay, this is someone, oh, this is, you know what, it would be more fun if it was a, season that I know because it was starting with, it started with O.C. Orange County, and I've never seen that one. Bethany Frankel, not synonymous. Here's New York. Okay, there's Derinda. What if we could get to, gosh, I'm on one of those pages where the ads are just everywhere over, under, besides throughout. Basically, okay, now.

And then we keep scrolling and it takes this all the way back to the top of the page. So we're just going to cut it there. I think it had all the franchises down there, but, you know, Potomac was buried. I was seeing numbers just to give you a ballpark in like the 500 to 700,000 range. And let's say Wendy is, is newer, Potomac is newer. Maybe they don't get as big of ratings. I will charitably grant her half of that. So we'll say that she's making 250 to 350 to 300.

$350,000 a season. And mind you, a season for these houseways, I don't know everything that goes into filming. I've never worked in television or entertainment or anything like that. But I mean, they filmed these seasons in a matter of weeks. And then, you know, comes out nine months later or something like that. They don't do anything with editing. They film these seasons. They do their, you know, their headshots, not their talking heads, whatever. And then they do their reunion, which is like two days. And they're making, let's say, Wendy generously on the low end, makes $300,000, although I wouldn't be surprised a lot more than that. My final thought in this, how stupid do you have to be with your money decisions to be like, oh yeah, I'm collecting at least, when you

consider her other ventures, at least let's just be super low in, say $350,000 a year, but it's got to be way more than that, right? Plus your husband's income. They've got like two kids or something like that house like why the heck do you need to be defrauding your insurance company the the risk the gamble the payoff versus the potential uh now being realized uh a risk is just astronomical to me so i don't know if anyone has any insight if anyone's gone to you know if anyone's been charged of the felony they spent a couple years in prison for fraud They want to give us sort of that insight, that side of the coin. Email us, Bintown Podcast at Yahoo.com, against Bintam podcast at yahoo.com.

And I'd love to talk through that with you. I just want to briefly mention it's only, I didn't do the math. Let's say 75 shopping days till Christmas. I always loved how it wasn't like, oh, it's only 75 days until Christmas. It's no shopping days, right? Because you can't shop on Christmas morning. right, although you could probably order on Amazon and they'll get it to you by the time you finish your eggnog.

The reason I mentioned this, if anyone was curious in looking for potential gifts for me, I found myself last night on the website of George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers, and I did notice that you can request a show. So putting that out there, if anyone is like, what do you get for the guy who has everything? You know, award-winning podcast.

International Superstar 10012-30 comedy podcast in the Islamic Republic. Got a dog who was able to just do 22 minutes alone by herself, a hot smoking wife. I mean, what more could you want? Loving family, defending fantasy football champion in one of his three leagues, but not all. Rayban sunglasses from the smoking hot wife. 85 dollars in euros on the mantle getting ready for the honeymoon a certificate from the DePaul University School of Continuing Professional Studies indicating completion of foundations and human resources certificate course a statue of mother Mary ceramic two gourds a samson

Q2U series in your hand $15 trader Joe Scotch and the other what more could you What more does this guy want, right? Well, there's your answer. A home concert by George Thurgood and the Delaware Destroyers requested on their website. So there you go. There's your idea. Our hot take of the week is brought to you by the aforementioned Samson Q2U series from Genesis to Exodus, Leviticus, numbers, Deuteronomy. Or maybe your, I don't know, maybe you get your one phone call because you defrauded your insurance company.

company. And a lot of people might, you know, they might call their lawyer or their mom to bail them out. You know what I would do? I would call the good folks at Samson. And I would want to say, you know what? You guys had nothing to do with the insurance defrauding. That was all me. I just want to thank you guys for that crisp, clear audio quality. I wouldn't be here. I would be here without you, but I wouldn't have an award-winning podcast. So thank you, Samson. And that's what I would do with my one phone call. When God speaks, he uses a Samson. Another option would be to, like, order a pizza,

but I'm guessing they don't let you just bring in any pizza. If I was going to order a pizza to prison and I could, though, I would definitely go a deep dish because I feel like it's going to be a lot easier to smuggle in a shiv or a key or, you know, explosive nitrates or something. I would be concerned though with the deep dish pizza because you eat it and then guys we've all been there the next morning on the toilet. It's going to be rough. And I don't know if you've seen some of these prisons. These toilets are not, you know, Kohler, you know, Q2U series grade, bedaes. They're just kind of like these metal. I don't even know if they really flush. You know, it's it's not great. So that would be kind of the tradeoff. You might get out of prison because you could sneak. the hair pin in, the bobby pin, but you might blow up the toilet and you're going to leave behind a bad taste in everyone's mouth doing it that way. You escape, but you left a big dump in the toilet. So, I don't know, there's pros and cons. If you were going to escape prison

because you use your one phone call to order a pizza, one, who would you order it from? and then, you know, what style would it be? Email us being on podcast at yahoo.com. Our hot take of the week, Trump definitely should have won the Nobel Peace Prize. I mean, he ended seven wars, is what he said. Gaza, everything's good there. Ukraine, I haven't heard anything about that. It sounds like maybe Putin and Melania are doing some phone sex,

which we have a whole topic here on essentially phone sex coming up here in the second half of the show. So be on the lookout for that. Portland. He quashed Portland. He's quashing Chicago right now, arresting WGN producers and reporters up here on Lincoln Square, my neck of the woods. That war over. I don't know. There's three other ones. I'm not quite sure what among the seven. He basically bought Greenland, not technically, but basically. He ended the war on us calling the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of Mexico. So that's six. And, I mean, the war on Tylenol, we finally won that one, guys, finally a win. So, yeah, it was kind of a no-brainer for Trump to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Or one of, I mean, one of the other ones, which we'll get to in our trivia question, a little spoiler for you there. But, yeah, really kind of an oversight by the committee.

It's like, it's like Trump goes undefeated, like he's Florida State or something like that in the football season. And it gets time for the CFP, the college football playoff committee, to convene. And they put in like six-loss Alabama over Florida State because Alabama beat 27th ranked Auburn. And Florida's best win was over only number 12 Clemson. But Alabama just had that sex appeal to it, right? So Florida State, you're out. that's what we should have done for Trump

Maple's Minute here she just hopped off the couch because mom walked in and then mom walked back out as a classic sneak attack so Maple's back on the couch with Pop saying what the heck but Maple's Minute is brought to you by our good friends at Cuts by IQ Maple I noticed was we were at the park today running some laps

and she's starting to get a little bit shaggy and I noticed some gray hair in the tail as well I don't know if Maple if you need just for men or what but cuts by Q when you need to fresh do something snappy or new or if you're Maple you just get the same haircut every time but that's okay because it's reliable uh oh mom's in the bathroom that's where she went i thought she maybe she had some deep dish pizza on the way here uh at least she's not in prison cuts by Q and you need to fresh do something snappy or new call the experts at cuts

by Q Maple's minute last night we're sitting there on the couch we're watching the cubs game and maple is just frozen like a statue on her back belly up pause just hanging there she probably did a solid 60 70 seconds just eyes wide open staring at the ceiling and at the time we were kind of ribbon her literally poking her in the ribs saying are you still there and you know what 24 hours later i'm sitting here thinking you know what sometimes in life you just got to lie there tum out say the world hey world i'm here my name's maple i need a tum rub and you just wait because one of these days hours minutes a good samaritan is going to speaking of samson q2 u series good samaritan is going to come along the road to damascus or wherever he was traveling to i don't know

jeda that's a star wars planet but it sounds like it could be in the bible doesn't it uh you just wait for a good samaritan to come by and give you a tum rub right Right? Is that, what was, so what was the deal with the Good Samaritan? I should know this because there was a veggie tales, Final Jeopardy answer, just not two or three nights ago, that I nailed, because it made a Phil Visher reference, V-I-S-C-H-E-R. But one of the first, if not the first veggie-tales, right? It's like, you know, back in the day the veggie tales, it would be like two halves of a story on a 30-minute VHS. it'd be like 12 minutes, 12 minutes, and then, or 12 minutes, then a silly song with Larry, then a new story for 12 minutes, and they'd end with Bob and Larry on the kitchen countertop. And QWERTY, was that the name of the keyboard? He's got like a Bible verse, John 316 for God so loved the world that he gave his only

indivisible with liberty and justice fraud. I don't know how it ends. And I think the first ever Veggie Tales, or one of the first is like one of the halves was the Good Samaritan. And then the other half, was that the Grapes of Wrath one? I don't know. And then there's like a, I don't know, they're going to the, there's Good Samaritan, Grapes of Wrath, and then the Star Trek parody were in there in space. That must have been two separate episodes. I've got three halves here looking for a fourth. But yeah, Good Samaritan. I don't know exactly what happened in that one. I think there's these two warring tribes, Samarians.

and, I don't know, Egypt, I suppose. And the Egyptian or something is walking, and he breaks his leg or something, and none of his buddies want to come help him, but the bad guy, the Samaritans, he comes out and helps him. I don't know what he was doing. Just war is not about helping others. It's winner take all, okay?

Especially in 2000 BC, Jeddah or Lebanon. or wherever they were, Damascus, I don't know. So, that's Maple's Minute. Sometimes you just need a good Samaritan. Speaking of good Samaritans, thank God mom came home because now Maple can get off the couch and have her supper. She was too scared to do it before. Welcome to the second half of the Bean Town podcast.

We've got, let's say, we did our hot take. We did Maple's Minute. We've got a lot of other random things. Oh, we got a fun game coming up later that is more for my pleasure than yours because it's a visual game. But I saw it pop up earlier and I just had to send it to me to explore later. Hopefully I don't get a Trojan horse virus. I did want to mention had a great time at this wedding last week in Las Vegas. And you know me.

When I get out on the dance floor, my inhibitions, you know, what did Natasha Bettingfield say? Release your inhibitions. Feel the rain on your lips. lips skin unclear which one it is Taylor Swift wishes she could write a song that good and said she's writing songs about wood but my

what I came up with and I may have been two or three Coors lights in when I came up with this and I know it's kind of risky because of the you know Bill Cosby but my new party trick and I got to practice this okay because this was only like 40% formed when I

came up with it last weekend at this wedding. You do, you know how, you got the Cosby show and all the kids and Felicia Rashad. They're doing their little dances. And, you know, Felicia's got the, the finger wag going. And Malcolm, rest in peace. He's got the high top going. Can't believe he died. What a bummer. Tempest blood cell, no one really know, forget her. Keish and I pull him in, got like, the elbows going. And then you get to the last couple of seasons, you introduce Raven Simone and she's doing cool things with her hands and wearing just like the ultimate 90s get up. I don't really need to do. The only Cosby move I do is like the little like shoe slide, if you know what I'm talking about. But I mean, then you get these later seasons,

you get Elvin in there, right? The guy Jeffrey Owens, he plays Donovan McNabb and Tiger Woods and Don Cheadle and it's always sunny in Philadelphia. And then he, you know, was famous five years ago because people were harassing him for working at Trader Joe's. And you get, oh, Lisa Bonnet's husband, not Lenny Krabbits, the other guy. I don't know what his name was. He was like a Navy man. He doesn't really have any good moves. He just kind of stands there.

The point being, my party trick is, it doesn't matter what the song is. Something jazzy would be nice, ideally. But you do, you go through the progression of all the Cosby show character dances. You pick whatever season you want. I'm a personal favorite of Stephen, uh, personal fan of like season six season seven because then after that once you get into that's that's when it like peaked and then at the very end when it starts to get closer to like that spinoff they did what is it a different world or something where Lisa Bonnet goes to college you get into those seasons

and it's like a hip urban vibe in Brooklyn it's just it's not quite the same but you pick your dances you do all of them on the dance floor in in sequence whatever order you want doesn't matter But that's my idea for hot new dance moves. Just watch some Cosby show intros. And rest in peace, Malcolm. One of my favorite key and peel sketches is the white Republicans. That's not it. Black Republicans.

In fact, I'm almost certain, this rings a bell. I'm almost certain we discussed this on the very first episode 400 plus weeks ago. of the Beantown podcast. We discussed the black Republicans sketch from Key and Peel. And who would have thought? Eight years later, Malcolm would be gone. Rest in peace, bud. Let's see here. What else do we want to talk about? I saw someone on social media mentioned that Indianapolis was an hour ahead of Chicago and they were confused by this. And then they got a bunch of comments saying, oh, it's only during daylight savings time. And it was just, you ever see something on the internet that is, or listen to a podcast and

they're saying falsities and you're just screaming, you're like, that is absolutely not correct. Indianapolis is forever and always, ever since like 1986 or whatever, one hour ahead of Chicago. It has nothing to do with daylight savings time. In fact, there's only a couple of states. This would have been a good trivia question. There's only a couple of states. that don't observe daylight savings time. Arizona, Hawaii, there might be one other, like Utah or something like that. I'm not sure. We should have looked this up.

But I did look this up earlier. And if you can believe it, because this one kind of, it was surprising, but not surprising at the same time, no Alaska. Alaska is all aboard the daylight savings time train. Anyways, for anyone, for anyone out there who may have seen these posts or whatever claiming that half of the year Indianapolis in Chicago are on the same time zone you gotta get with the truth

follow me on truth social and at on blue sky okay Beantown podcast and Twitter I guess too I'll teach you all about time zones okay the states that do not observe state daily savings time Hawaii and Arizona so it's just two except for the Navajo nation I guess the Navajo has wanted to be part of it

additionally, several U.S. territories do not observe it. American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. So it's just two states. I guess that's what I thought it was in my head, but for some reason that the number three was lingering, much like if you're the count in a Sesame Street episode, and you had to come up with a new number of the week. Love that count. It's always counting. what else we got here a couple other random hodgepodge things okay i wanted to mention this i mentioned we were going to talk sexting a couple minutes ago so duolingo's got this new feature that they're teasing and even though i'm already on like the i'm on like the dualingo prime plan thanks to my colleague jen who pays for our family plan uh there's another tier right it's like it's like when you buy a first class ticket with Frontier and they're like, you know, for only $57, you can get an extra carry-on bag and will give you a foot massage, right? But only, only one of your toes. If you want to do

all 10 toes, that's another $50. So Duolingo's got their upgrades too. And the thing, they want you to upgrade a Duolingo max. And of course, they're doing the classic business plan where they'll let you try the feature for free once or twice. And if you want to do it a third time, you're going to have to pay big, big bucks. So I've been seeing them tease this for a couple weeks now, and I always skip over it, even though it's like, try it for free. So this week, you know, I'm trying to get to the Diamond League finals. So I really need a lot of XP, and I decide to try it out. And it's a video call. It's a live AI video call with a goth girl. Lily, that's her name. And, you know, we're making conversation. You know, it's kind of casual chit-chat. It's like, you know, me at the bar back in the day, picking

up honey's speaking in Spanish. And I'm thinking, Duolingo could unlock a whole new world here with, I don't know if they wanted to do an OnlyFans partnership or if they're going to go their own way on this. Lenny Kravitz, Lisa Bonnet, are you going to go my way? But, sexting cone lily could be the brand new feature i think look we're all here to learn a language but why not get your rocks off while you're doing it so sexting cone lily dual angle call me i don't you know there's other characters in there i don't want to involve the grandma or the kid but lily she's she's got the deep she's kind of got an abry plaza thing going on so Duolingo, give me a call.

We could work something out. And I'll do the writing. I'll handle it. No worries. So there's my pitch. I made homemade cold brew for the first time in my life. Did you try it out at all, Rachel? Just a sip.

It was good. It was very strong. It was my first time I ever made cold brew before. It was a very simple process. So you get your beans and you grind them up. You want it to be, you don't want it to be too fine, right? Like if you were making a standard hot cup of coffee. You want it to be kind of coarse as if you're doing a French press.

And what you do, you get your grinds, you ground them. And I think the ratio was like six cups of water for two cups of ground coffee, which is quite a lot of ground coffee because we want to make this potent and strong, kind of like Pete Heggzeth. And you basically just pour, it's very, very simple setup. You just pour lukewarm to cold water into your grounds. Ideally, you got a big vessel that can hold it all. I had to split mine up into two different vessels.

Excuse me, because you got any need to cover it with a lid, and I didn't have any big vessel. that had a lid as well, unless I wanted to make it in like Tupperware or something. What I really could have benefited from, back in the day, my primary water vessel used to be a Jack Link's sizable travel mug, I guess you would call it. This thing was huge, plastic like a barrel practically. And it had a lid, so that would have been good, but it was a casualty of one of many moves that I've done over the last handful of years.

So I split it up into two different hydroflasks, for lack of a better word, travel mugs, whatever. And you let it sit a minimum of 12 hours. So you do a night before type action. I did the full 24. I cooked it up yesterday morning. Let it sit for the full 24. If you do the full 24, that's as potent as you can get it. And uncorked it this morning.

what you got to do you got to find a way to strain it right because you got all this water and the grounds commingling so the guy on youtube was doing cheese cloth i don't even know where i would get cheesecloth can you just go to a grocery store and say one cheesecloth please i i've never bought it i don't really know what it is it's not cheese right you can't eat it it's more cloth than cheese not sure why we call it cheese cloth do you wrap your cheese in it probably the big stinky cheese from uh madeline we should find a sporkel quiz which madeline or a buzzfeed quiz which madeline character are you i'd probably be miss clavelle or genevieve rachel would be pepito because they're both Hispanic and you like pepito by the way do you

have any pop culture roundups for this week didn't prepare well we're still going to be on for another two hours or so. You got some time. I did talk about Wendy. Yeah. Were there any, I talked about Wendy, I talked about Jen Shaw. I talked about Karen Hugar. Are there any other good housewife prison? Teresa, Teresa, right?

She's kind of like the OG, the New Jersey housewife. What back taxes? Was that her issue? Tax, tax fraud, something like that. Well, I told the audience when we were talking housewives about half an hour ago, it's always, or not always, but it's usually either like something alcohol related, Luan, and that was like alcohol, she was, she was, she's an alcoholic and she like, did she assault someone or does it a DUI? I don't know.

Luan is a, or was a classic New York housewife before they did their shakeup a couple years ago. Yeah, I can't even read it, but I believe you. But what I, what I told the audience was it pretty much comes down to one of two things. it's either an issue with alcohol that stems in other things or fraud of some kind. Because so many of these ladies live the gilded lifestyle where it's like, oh, to be on the show and to be successful quotes at the show, you have to project, as Kramer would tell Jason Alexander and Seinfeld, you have to project a royal bearing. That's what these ladies have to do, whether there's any money behind them or not.

And so, yeah, then we transitioned into the fraud conversation in Jen Shaw and yada, yada, yada. We taught him of Karen Hugar as well. So, yeah, it's, they got it there quite the hit rate. Andy Cohen knows what he's doing because it gets the clicks and it gets the eyeballs on the screen. Anything else for the pop culture roundup this week? Taylor Swift do anything to embarrass herself further? She's not going to be the halftime performance. it's going to be a bad bunny. Have you heard about the patriotic response, the all-American

halftime show that Turning Point USA is putting on? It's going to be lit. It's going to be like the Super Bowl halftime show and that we also have an American performing. But this one's going to be pretty white. And it's not going to be, you hear about this kid from home improvement, Zach, Zachary Ty Bryan, he's a country singer now. He's putting out anti-ice songs in Nashville's turning on him. I'm doing the pop culture round it myself over here. It's okay. Yeah, if you guys missed it, so this kid, Zach Bryan, he played Brad on Home Improvement,

the oldest child, not the Lion King kid, Simba. What's his name? Jonathan Taylor Thomas. No, this is the older one. Not the, I guess Brad or Randy was Jonathan Taylor Thomas. He's the middle one. They got Mark. He's kind of like the emo gay one. He's younger. He didn't really do too much with his career. But this Zachary Ty Brian, and I know he's been in prison a couple times. Maybe he can get a housewives contract. But now he's a country singer, and he's putting out these anti-ice songs. And people are really upset about it. So between that and Dali Parton, maybe being dead, maybe being alive, no one's seen her in about a decade. it's very concerning. Yeah, the cold brew, you just got to find a way to... Big sirens going past. Must be ice going after some bad ombrease

here on the north side. You just find a way to filter it. I... wanting to kind of reconnect with my... I'm a classic hot cup of coffee type guy in the morning, typically, so I wanted to pay homage to that, H-O-M-A-G-E. And so I actually just used my coffee maker. I didn't, like, pour the liquid into where the liquid goes.

I just did it straight into the filter. And you just filter it out. And you got a nice, we got a whole, whole thermos of cold brew ready to go tomorrow morning with our avocado toast. It's going to be delicious, deluxe, deluxe breakfast. Maybe I'll get the Nobel Prize for the best husband ever. We'll see. We'll get to our trivia question in a minute here.

I do have one game. And Rachel, if you want to play along with this, too you are welcome to because I saw this pop up. Well, I think you'll like it. So when I was on, when the news broke this morning, Rachel actually told me about it first, but I didn't see it until after I also told her about it, but the whole windy Ocepho thing. I was on TMZ, and I am not frequently on TMZ's website once a year on average, I would guess. And it's one of these, you know, classic, you know, kind of blast from the past 20 years ago type websites where it's, it's, you're on like AOL or Ask Jesus or something.

There's all sorts of crazy ads. You don't know what is like a virus, what is porn, and then what is actually just like a regular news story. There's no way to tell it because they all look the same. But I saw one thumbnail for a story in particular that, let's just say, caught my attention because the headline was hot celebrity butts. And so I wanted to make sure that I grabbed that URL, emailed it to the Beantown podcast, email, which is Beantown Podcast,

at Yahoo.com. Pindam podcast at Yahoo.com. And we're going to open that up. We're going to go to the email in one second here. And, of course, that segment, as you would expect, is brought to you by our good friends at HomePride, Oregon. Whether you are inspecting butts or buttresses in the Pacific Northwest, you're going to want to call my dad Steve at 541-410-0-316 or email at gmail.com. He'll find cracks. He'll find, I don't know, what else you would find. foundational issues, gutters, he'll look at them, and he'll tell you, do this, do that, get a credit, put this in the contract, tell your real estate agent, whether they're on the, boots on the ground, or they're riding up in that remax hot air balloon, looking for houses to sell. Home Pride, Oregon, inspection, perfection. All right, let's go to the email. Again, if you have any feedback for the show or good stories, dating advice, you want to send me digital gift cards, whatever, email Beantown Podcasts at Yahoo.com. Here it is.

This is a, oh, it's a TMZ article. That makes me feel better. You know, oftentimes it'll get linked out to some third-party news site you don't recognize and then it feels iffy. But this is directly from TMZ. And it looks like this article is going to be from June 6th, 2016. So pretty current. Okay. Here's our first hot celebrity, but we're not going to do too many because there's 113 and it's all visual. That's a good question. Rachel's asking, how are the viewers supposed to see that?

So I guess I'll describe it in 500 words or less. Well, she's wearing two different bottoms. This is confusing. We got like a neon green bottom initial layer and then like a black. We're talking like bikini sets here. a black set over that. I would say she's like halfway between white and black, skin tone-wise. I would say that Demi Lovato is Rachel's guess. It could be the lighting. I don't know. She looks maybe a little bit darker than that. Maybe she's really tan. She's got the tattoos on her left

tricep and back and all sorts of stuff. I don't know. What are we going to do? We got a swipe to get there. Swiping does nothing. How do we advance? We're stuck on one of 113. Can you figure out how to move on to reveal the answer? It's a very tricky website. Oh, you got to scroll up and down, maybe. Tough. There's 113 butts, and we can only see one of them.

Oh, Karen Huger? Oh, the answer is Paige Van Zant. nope no idea who that is how did you get to this screen swiped okay here we go all right let's do a couple more here uh so this this appears to be an african-american female she's got like tights all the way up she's wearing these white pointy heels she's got a luboo on a pink bag and she's got like uh curly hair and like a high pony hanging down in the back i mean this has got like ice this is like ice spicy coated. Think ice spice. I don't think it's ice spice. It's not going to be Lisa Bonnet. It's got to be someone more mainstream. It was Nikki. I didn't even get to guess. Oh, okay. Whoa. Tensions are

getting high. Yeah. Maple. Maple's mad. She wants to play too. Okay. So Rachel's guess is Nikki Minaj. I'm going to guess. Megan the stallion is my guess. And it is Latto. L-A-T-O. L-A-T-O-L-A-T-O-G-O. All right, let's play one more. This one, she's wearing, like, I don't know, what's the, what's the name of this? It's like, it's like lingerie, but like a corset kind of deal. And, you know, she's got, like, the, like, her stockings are, like, attached, like strapped in to her underwear I guess whatever it's not her actual underwear but like the thing you wear on your hips thigh high stockings essentially bad lighting she's in a hotel room we're looking at the window so the lights coming directly at us got a zipper in the back it's a white lady

this is what I imagine Anne Hathway would look like I don't think it's her no I'm like I'm trying to do audibly for the audience they're thinking like, okay, is this going to be another latto or is this going to be more of like Paige Van Zanta? I'm saying, imagine Princess Diaries to Royal Engagement. That's kind of what we're looking at here. And not Julie Andrews or Chris Pine, mind you. I don't know. Do you have a guess for who this is? I'm 99% sure it's not Anne Hathaway, but she could totally be an Anne Hathaway booty double. Rachel is guessing. She's guessing Kylie Jenner. I feel like Kylie Jenner, when she be thicker than that because they get all the butt implants and stuff?

Kendall Jenner. Oh, I was going to say, like, oh, that's crazy. Okay. Rachel's guessing Kendall Jenner. I will guess Kylie Jenner. The answer is, oh, it's an ad. Okay. Irene Shike. Of course. Man, I should have got that. Okay. I'm just going to scroll until we find someone whose name we both know. and then, again, a lot of booties here. Do you know who Gigi Gorgeous is? Definitely sounds like a porn star.

Okay, we know this person, and I wouldn't say they're, like, super famous. Some people probably think she's really famous. I mean, this name never would have crossed my mind. She's a newcomer. Let's just put it that way. And you got to go to the Disney well to try to think of who this person.

person is. No, younger than that, I assume. It's, uh, you know, one of those Disney live action remakes they're doing. Hallie, Haley, Haley Bailey. It's not, uh, who's the lady from Monsters Ball that won the Oscar? Hally Barry. This is, uh, she plays Black Ariel in Under the Sea. Okay. Let's try to get one celebrity here that's actually famous that we both know. I mean, sorry, guys. I don't know who Ava Max or Letitia Thomas.

That's a guy. Oh, no. Jeffrey Star. Is Jeffrey, that's like a drag actor maybe? Well, I'm not opposed to looking at Mailberries. You would have got Jeffrey. Jeffrey Star? I never heard it Jeffrey Star. Okay, I'm trying to get one that I know, and then we're going to end the game. This is two booties. Do you know Amelia Gray or Delilah Bell Hamlin? Okay, not me. Okay, this is the last one. If you get this, I will be absolutely floored. Finally, someone that I know. And my only clue is this person was in the show that we're currently watching in a recent season. which for the audience at home is the righteous gemstones you wouldn't expect to see this person

pop up in a hot celebrity butts carousel of 113 pictures but he's there nevertheless he's like he's a comedian in the same vein as like tim heidecker and like no nope it's the he's only in one season he was the bad guy he has his own or had his own own show that is like anti-comedy hmm it was Eric Andre oh what

tell us TMZ well Bean Town Beanheads I know it was tough Beanheads if you are looking for a great 113 image carousel because we only tapped the first 20 or so

there's about 90 more famous celebrity really stretching the definition of the term famous. But, you know, to each their own, thanks for playing our game, famous celebrity butts. Our last thing here is our trivia question of the week. So the Nobel Peace Prize came out this morning. It was some no name from Venezuela. And my trivia question for you here is,

how many different Nobel prizes or prize categories are there. And bonus, if you can name what the actual categories are. So again, Peace Prize got handed out today, but there's actually a bunch of different Nobel prizes that you've probably heard of most of them. So can you come up with all of them? I guess it would probably make more sense if I gave you the number and said get the categories, but we'll keep it opaque for now. So take a moment or two, try to rassel together your answer. And, um, I don't know, before we reveal the answer, any parting thoughts over here from the research team, any other pop culture things we got to be on the lookout for?

We're playing each other in fantasy football this week. Should be hot. I don't know. Lamar Jackson is out again. Justin Jefferson's on his bye week. It's a tough week. Well, we'll see. It's tough, tough to say.

I got to tell you, and everyone loves when you talk about your own fantasy football team. In the Great White North, I've got, let's see, my number one pick, Jamar Chase is questionable with an illness, and then my next four draft picks are all out due to injury. Not even just like, oh yeah, bye weeks hitting you hard. Nope, they're just injured, not playing.

So it's been a fun year over there in the North Woods. The answer to this week's trivia question, how many Nobel Prize categories annually are there? This is the answer to the trivia question. We already asked the question. We were giving people time to come up with their answer. Well, people had time to come up with their answer, and then if they wanted, they could look at hot celebrity butts,

and then transition, they could do a sexting with sexting Colin Lilly. And now that everyone, we were talking about that 10 minutes ago. Where were you? You were sitting right here. they can take care of themselves and then we're back here to the answer to the trivia question all of a sudden boom you just spent the last hour getting satisfied sexually audibly here is the answer to the trivia question there's six distinct Nobel Prize categories peace obviously then the other five physics chemistry

medicine, literature, and economics, which I believe is the newest one from the 60s. So there you go. There's six Nobel categories. Our last thought here, we talked all about Hopkins today between me and Wendy Ocepho. When I was working at Hopkins, and I do take full credit for this, the Nobel Peace Prize in Chemistry went to a Hopkins professor. So I like to think I had a large part in that. So that was our Beantown podcast trivia question of the week.

That's what we got for you today. Time to go have some soup and we're going to catch up on our housewives, the aforementioned housewives, but not those ones, the other ones. And maybe do some fall activities, maybe go to a patch or an orchard or both. And we'll see what happens. For all of us here at Beantown Networks, my name is Queen David Furness. This is my show. Quinn David Furness presents the Beantown podcast.

Hope everyone is staying safe, staying sane, and I'm going to go ahead and check in on you next time. Bye-bye. Yeah, I'm not. Ah. It's just... It's just... I don't know. It's a lot of your heart.

It's a whole different. It's talking right now, too. I don't know. I'm going to be. I'm going to It's good. I heard about to do a little mat. Are you trying here?

That's exactly.
