Beantown Podcast - I Know I Talked About Something (12182022 Beantown)

Episode Date: December 18, 2022

I think there were sports, and signed copies of the New Testament, and chips on salad. Not sure.

Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David furnace. Welcome to my show Quinn David furnace presents the bean town podcast for Sunday December 18th 2022. What's going on? How are you? What's happening? Seven days until Christmas seven days until Christmas. It's happening folks. One week from today Christmas day and it's gonna be wild. We got cold weather here in Chicago. It finally didn't snow today but it had been precipitating slush. Well like Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday was rain and then turned into snow after that. But you know, it's done now. We got some sun today. Not that I really went outside. I went outside for approximately 10 steps today to walk from the front door of our sort of section across the way to the other section to get to the gym. And that was the extent of

my fresh air. And I hadn't really thought about that until now. And it's just like, oh well, sometimes that's how it goes on a lazy Sunday. But shout out to my beautiful GF loving caring, all the good stuff. Rachel, for making a delicious creamy soup, chicken and yokey, with some kale and some celery and carrots and cream. I don't know what else was in there, but it was pretty good. We had some bread with it. The perfect Sunday lunch. Got the big

game on. Got your fantasy football teams crashing and burning. All your players getting injured. Sometimes you just gotta say you throw your hands in the air and say now I know how Job felt. This is the Bean Tum Podcast. We're one of the top 500 podcasts on the north side of Chicago. Listen to discretion as advised when you're listening to the show. sometimes we'll use some language and two, the podcast is objectively terrible. So that's what's going on. We also, I mean, the next two weeks are nuts. We got Christmas. Well, okay, so we got Festivus on Friday. I'm going to have to go see Avatar 2 Way of Water this week. I got the whole week off of work, more or less.

And so I'll probably go see a matinee, because I don't know what else I'm gonna be doing. And that could be our Christmas show or our way of water review. I think the fans would really wanna see that. So pencil, pencil that in. But we'll probably record pretty soon only a couple days time, because I't want to be doing, you know, dragging my podcast stuff out to suburbs and such.

So look out for that in a couple days. In case you're wondering, not much, if you were going to ask, Quina, how much preparation did you do for the show? It was one of those things where I knew it was gonna be a Sunday show because Thursday we were doing something. I don't remember what and then What did we do on Thursday? I don't know but something happened and then Friday went to the suburbs Friday night was the hottest party of the year.

The St. Albert, the great school. Christmas show. Every every class had their own little performance. K through eight. Interspersed with the more kind of heterogeneous school choir of all ages. There was a boat, there were multiple cousins singing in it, there were school solo or choir solos that thing, it had everything. Yeah, it was a wild place to be. Shout out to Rachel's two cousins, Jake and Alex for kickass performance.

Then we went to chucks afterwards, had dinner in the voodoo lounge, what more could you ask for in a Friday night? Shout out to Rachel's aunt and uncle for paying for our meal. We even split the toastada salad. That was delicious. Can you get chips on your salad? Chucks.

One, there's a place in Michigan we went to. I'm trying to remember what place that was. The Butler probably three weekends ago, two weeks ago, where Rachel had chips on her salad. Maybe it's becoming a new trend. It's a thing. It's a thing I'm telling you. And then Friday, yesterday or Saturday,

rather we came home and had to watch that Vikings game. Look, I know we did a, you know, when the Vikings game. Look, I know we did a, you know, in the Vikings play the bills, I know we did a whole episode recapping that because that game you thought that was the craziest thing you could ever see. Well, Vikings literally said, hold my beer again yesterday.

And 30, in case you missed it, I'm not gonna linger on it, but 33 to zero was the Colts lead in the second half, which was downright shocking. So Colts are a dumpster fire this year. They fired their head coach after week seven. They're getting coached by Jeff Saturday, a legendary center for the Colts, but a guy who literally has no coaching experience at the pro level. It's only been retired for a probably like.

And then also on the first touch of the game for their amazing running back, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, he heard his ankle and he missed the rest of the game when it was still zero to zero. He went out. Excuse me. So, well I'm watching football. The Titans just had an amazing interception. It was one of those things where the guy is going out of bounds with his feet in the air to the defender. So he tips it back into the field of play and then one of his buddies catches it. There was a, there was a, I've seen a play like that. I think it was a Oklahoma state player or something like that. Yeah look see jumps his feet are going out of mind. It's got no chance. He catches it in mid air throws it back to

his friend who drags his two feet. That's amazing. Shout out to the Titans defense. That was bad ass. But yeah the Vikings were down 33 to zero and then they came all the way back and won. This weekend has been in overtime. This weekend has just been a just insane sports kind of weekend. There was a ton of good college basketball yesterday, but not part of that lineup was to to Paul Blue Demon's. The history was the annual DePaul vs.

Northwestern game and I got to tell you here, let me get on my 60 second soap box for a second. Northwestern's really pissing me off, and here's why. So I'm an alum of both DePaul, both Northwestern. Most of my Twitter just kind of feed people I follow that stuff is like DePaul basketball people, because I just, I don't know, I just identify it more with the Paul than with Northwestern, which I think is understandable. It's my undergraduate alma mater versus a place I worked out

and attended school for technically attending classes for 12 months, but I literally started in September and I moved to Baltimore in June, I think it was. So like nine months essentially worked there for nine months. And Northwestern kicked a Paul's ass, which is embarrassing, because Northwestern is pretty bad too. But what really chapped my behind was Northwestern unveiled like three days ago on Friday. I think

this whole like city-connected uniforms is what they call them in baseball or whatever, but you know, it's a specialty thing which can be kind of neat, right? Well, it really pissed me off because they're doing this whole Chicago kind of theme. And it's weird because I feel like a lot of people in the uniforms themselves look kind of cool. They're like, wipe, they got a lot of like the blue, the four stars thing kind of going on, which is neat. But what really pisses me off is Northwestern is trying to have their cake and eat it too because when you know you're talking national media and it's like oh yeah Northwestern and Chicago. Well everyone's like no it's in Evanston you got that Evanston pride right but then all of a sudden everyone starts forgetting

about Northwestern and it's like oh how could you forget about us we're in Chicago you forget about us we're in Chicago. So we're gonna have these cool Chicago themed uniforms with you know four stars city flag on it all that good stuff and it's just uh oh bro you gotta get out of bounds. Watching this bangles bangles are getting their ass kicked 17 17 to zero, holy moly. Although we certainly know anything's possible. They're playing the books. And so Northwestern is like, oh yeah, here's our cool Chicago uniforms where Chicago's Big 10 team. Whereas DePaul is like, we're not trying to come out here and throw Chicago in your face because we actually live here. So just cool your jets.

OK, we don't need specialty uniforms telling the world that we are in Chicago, even though we're not, because we actually live in Chicago. So that's sort of feisty attitude that I was bringing in my Twitter timeline that didn't really translate to any on the field success for our blue demons yesterday. Like, Fiercien just got a field goal. That was a 41 yarder. That thing must have been good from 60 holy smokes

that thing was high in the air. 17, 3 bucks at Bangalow. Bucks hosting the bangles at halftime. This isn't going to be a sports podcast because it's weeks been exhausting from a sports perspective. But I'm just telling you what I'm looking at on the screen, okay? Can't miss a single moment. But I wanted, and then the only other thing that was crazy this morning, the World Cup Final, Argentina vs versus France, where there's no statue of limitation spoilers or anything. This game literally ended five hours ago, so we're just going to talk about it briefly.

But if you missed it, you definitely want to go find highlights real, if you will. Something that condenses it down to like 10, 15 minutes is good. They're showing this on Red Zone. Oh, it's Lion's Game Winning Drive. They're showing all the touches that happen on that drive. And at first I thought they were showing general game stats, so they're like Deandre Swift had an AR rush as if that was the highlight of the day, which isn't that far off, frankly, he's a fucking disaster, my dude, as they say in the rehearsal, Nathan Fielder.

But yeah, that World Cup game was crazy. Argentina went up to nothing after 30, 35 minutes or something. They really were spank in France. And then France was just like dormant until they got a penalty in like the 75th minute or something like that, maybe like 70th minute. I don't know. Of course, in Bop, they take it, nails it. And then just like, I think it was like 10 minutes,

five minutes later, I think there was about 10 minutes left when it happened. Bob A scored again. So it was 2-2-2. And at that point, the gloves were off. It was not some, you know, the majority of the game, and I'm sure this isn't terribly uncommon. With soccer games, I'm not a, I don't know that much about it.

But, you know, it's I don't know that much about it But you know, it's kind of conservative for the first two thirds and then the last third of regular time was just like holy smokes You know heavyweight title fight bout B O U T bout It's a great word to use It was just back and forth back and forth Like France would have a crazy good opportunity. The Argentina would do it. Ended up going to extra time.

If you don't know extra time in most soccer games is two 15 minute periods with like a two minute half in between they switch sides. It's not sudden death. It's not golden goal. So they're playing the whole 30 minutes, no matter what. So the first 15 minutes, no scores. And then like five minutes into the second half. So there's 10 minutes left in the game,

Argentina scores, and of course, everyone's going nuts. And it's like, that's it, it's a coordination. And then like five minutes later, France gets another PK and Bope scores again scores against who's got a hat trick. And, I mean, these are just the goals, and I can't even remember all the scoring chances, but there were just an insane number of, like, amazing scoring chances that didn't quite pan out.

One way or another, there could have been, at least another two or three goals in this game. And so it goes to PKs and then, yeah, France missed their second and their third one and Argentina really nailed it, went all the way. And they won I think four two on PKs. So yeah, it was, it was wild. Congratulations, D'Argentina.

And head multiple people asked me like, oh, who are you rooting for? Who do you want to see winning? And I was really just like, I just want to see it be a good game. And it was an instant classic. But I, you know, I, it's their two powerhouses, two teams that have won before. France just won in 18. Archie scene was in the final in 14.

So, you know, this is like Yankees and Dodgers. And you'd be like, hey, Quinn, who you really want to see win? And I'm like, I kind of want to remember that scene and Dark Knight Rises when Bane blows up, Heinz Field, and Heinz Ward is the only one left. I can't, no one ever talks about this. They kill off Rafa's burger and the Dark Knight Rises, which is kind of fitting

for a rapist. But yeah, it happened. This is one of our more meandering directionless shows we've had in a long time in. I think that means we should turn to one of our anchors, our ad reads, here we go. Are you tired of selling your house for less than a quarter of what it's worth all because you can't find

a reliable home inspector in time? Well Oregon listeners, I got good news for you. Home pride Oregon inspection services in Bend, Oregon, just home pride inspection services. In Bend, Oregon is central Oregon's hottest new home inspection provider. The inspection services, including things like heating and cooling, roofing, plumbing, and so much more. Home pride Oregon is both contractors certified and home inspection certified, so you know you're getting the good stuff. If you're tired of big real estate, little little little angle hold on the home inspection market and you want to save certified home inspector that you can trust you got to call Steve at 541-410-0316 or visit home

Bright Oregon dot com again that's 541-03016 or visit home Bright Oregon dot com. Hope I'd organ inspection perfection. And speaking of home inspections when you're buying a house something you're going to want to ask them about either the seller is agent or someone inspecting the home or whatever, or you can get your own mechanic in there. Ask them about the windows. How old are they? How drafty are they? If there's a bay window, how much would it cost to replace one? Had some very interesting conversations the last couple of days with girlfriend's dad of the podcast, Jose Ramos, about windows and replacements,

and how much that cost and stuff, parts in labor, bay windows, and I wouldn't say like, oh, I was shocked by the numbers that were being thrown around, because I'm not super green anymore with that stuff. Like, I just, part of me is getting older, part of me is just more of a pessimist. Like, oh yeah, it's a house. It's gonna cost that crazy amount of money.

Because no one's ever like, oh, I bought a house and turns out, like, it actually wasn't that expensive to keep it up. It's always the exact opposite. So I'm not gonna be one of those noobs, N-Zero-Zero-B-Z, who's like, oh yeah, I put it down payment on the house and now I'm just gonna be rolling in the dough. So when I heard how much it was being thrown around,

I'm a potential new window, it was essentially, I was like, it wasn't shocked, but granted, it's still a lot, and it's scary, you know, like I definitely want to own a house before too long, just because I'm sick of paying rent and not building capital. And I love a yard. Maybe have a recoon or something, maybe that one from Pocahontas. You seem pretty well trained. But then there's things like that where it's like, oh yeah, something happens and you just really like, if your furnace craps out, no pun intended. Yeah, here's 8,000 or whatever. I had a friend Pete who was a bartender in Baltimore at the place where we played trivia,

a mother's federal hill who had bought a house. He was working two jobs, one at the car dealership, one at mothers, nights and weekends to pay for the upkeep on this house. He had to get a new roof, the estimate was 18 grand. And a roof is one of those things you need. You take my furnace way, I'll put on gloves, a light of candle, the watch from Messiah. You take my roof away, I'm gonna get soggy.

And image is everything in this business. Anyways, to wrap up that thought, the thing I was saying is like, I work in education. And as long as I kind of stick to what I'm doing right now, I'm in good shape, but because I'm working two other jobs, but my earning is never gonna just go through the roof or something like that, which is, you know,

I didn't get into this line of work because I wanted my income to be through the roof But it just kind of is what it is, you know So ask your home inspector about windows furnace air conditioning H back all that good stuff Any other things we should know about we should, we got to get Steve on here one of these days. He's on our Christmas special two years ago.

That was one of my favorite episodes. We did our blind taste test of snack. What would you call those things? Snack treats, snack cakes. It's on YouTube as well, so you can watch it. You can follow along on a very fun episode. I don't really remember what our Christmas spectacular was last year. I'm going to go back and dig through that. But also just take this brief opportunity before we finish our ad reads to this.

And I haven't thought about this nor have I planned what else is new. But next week whenever that episode airs probably like Wednesday, honestly, ooh, pick six for the Patriots. Got their fantasy defense on my bench. But we're going to have our Christmas episode, Kyle Dugger. Aren't the Duggers, that Jim Bob and Michelle? This guy's black and dreadlocks. I don't think he came from Arkansas. Maybe. I never really saw, you know, 19 and counting or whatever they call it. Isn't the oldest one of those kids like a convicted rapist in prison or something like that?

Pretty neat. But I was just going to say we're going to have our Christmas episode and then things really get crazy Brother the podcast Jack furnace is getting married in 12 days Which is wild In fact, they're reminds me I got to go practice and piano right after this. I got some big shoes to fill big responsibilities To play music for the wedding I got to go practice But that's happening on that Friday, the 30th, and who knows when that episode's gonna drop, that whole week's gonna be crazy.

I got a game plan. If I was smart, I would like carve out some time tomorrow and just record two episodes. Sounds like a lot of talking. I don't know, we'll see. And then we've got, I think that means that we do, you know, essentially an episode that comes out New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, more or less. And then we do our year five recap, excuse me, which based off of the amount of preparation I did, take about three minutes

to recap, and then your six starts more or less January 15th. So it's pretty exciting. We can revisit Hawaii, we can revisit our power rankings, our state power rankings, and I think we rank some other things too. So, there will be some things to recap. If you're curious, hey, Quinn, you're going to go back to like you did in year one where you edited it together a four hour special.

The answer is absolutely not. No way in hell. That was on my laptop that was, you know, well, same laptop. But back then, what was that January of 19? Is that right? 18, 19, 2020, 2022. Yeah, January of 19. It, you know what feels weird?

And I know COVID-19 didn't crop up in the US until like March of 2020. But it feels very weird to say that like the bean-town podcast had only been around for one year before 2019. I guess sometimes it feels like the show is still new and then sometimes it feels like I've been doing this forever. Which to a certain extent is true. I mean we started this when I was 22, is that right? January 2018. Yeah, it's 22, I'm about to be 28, although I'll tell you what, I feel older than that.

And some ways they do, because they don't just feel like, you know, we were at a Christmas party last night, there were some friends who were like out at the bar to four and we stayed till one and I was dying, just from like fatigue, it's just a long day. And that makes me feel old. And not in like a bad way, it's just, I, not only do I not feel like I have the energy to stay up till four, I don't want to. Because there was a sacri, the World Cup final at nine.

You know, there's just stuff I wanted to do. Wake up, have my morning coffee, not wake up, be hung over at 11 a.m. Like, it doesn't sound fun So yeah, that's where we're at Let's finish our ad reads here Supposed to give a shout out to the TV guide. Oh speaking of TV guides I think this happened last year too getting email from spirit and it's like use your I think this happened last year too. Getting an email from Spirit and it's like,

use your, Spirit, any of your Spirit points to, you know, get your free magazine subscription. And they give you all the options, but they don't tell you how many Spirit points you have, nor how many like, magazine, like how much is,

how many points is this subscription. So the whole thing is just totally busted. And I know I don't have any spirit points to spend because I didn't fly spirit at all this year. I haven't flown spirit in years since before the pandemic, which is a blessing. But I'm like, you're still sending me this email, do I actually have spirit points?

Or are you just, just in my chain? If I do, how many do I have? How do I check? Why doesn't it show me on this redemption site, just bush league. So we won't be able, you know, we're not getting a new TV guide subscription anytime soon. One of them was, you know, cigar monthly or something,

it's got Brian Cox on the cover, I kind of wanted that one. Golf at Fishy and Auto maybe. I don't really remember. Really, I want the TV guide. Not that we get any live channels, but it's just fun to know. All right. Shout out to the Samson Q2U series.

We already mentioned Jobon today's podcast. I'm also thinking of getting, this is a great Christmas gift idea. I know we did our holiday gift guide a couple weeks ago, but if you had any Polish Catholic grandmaws out there, a signed first edition copy of the New Testament is a great gift. And I'm just gonna leave it there.

But when God speaks, he uses a Samson from Genesis to Exodus, Leviticus and all the other good ones. If anyone's ever read Leviticus, you just wanted to give us a recap because no way in hell I'm going to be reading it. Go ahead and email us. Beantom podcast at Yahoo.com and this beantom podcast at Yahoo.com. And we would read your summary live on air, but just don't forget, when God speaks, He uses a Samsung.

And then of course, to wrap it up today, our good friends, Cuts by Q, Bob and we, we all know the hairstyle, we all love it, but how many Chicago-based independent barbers can actually give it to you the way you deserve? Enter Cuts by Q, it's like under Sandman, but different. Cuts by Q has been independently owned and operated since 1995 And is probably one of the better barbershop operations serving Chicago

Cook County, North, West Indiana and the greater Chicago land area from beehives to banks full hawks to flat tops and everything in between Call cuts by Q at Yahoo dot com or visit No, that's wrong call cuts by Q at a8152987200 or visit or email cuts by Q at Yahoo.com. Again, that's cuts. QUTZ by Qat Yahoo.com. Oh, when you need a fresh do something snappy and new. It's called the experts at cuts. Bye, Q. Rachel shared this with me earlier and I just got the email about it too. Got our Airbnb review from the host, who is the same guy,

he's like a property manager or something, so he doesn't, he's not like a local guy, he's just buying up properties and renting them out to tourists like us, but Ethan, and he left us a review from our stay in Suggduck two weeks ago. And his reviews said great. Like Tony the Tiger. And with that, you know, you, you, you probably sit out there thinking this was some sort of long suffering, meandering preamble to what we were actually going to be talking about.

And so I apologize, but that's all I got for you. Sometimes when you just don't got it, you just put in the work, you know, get paid and try again next week. I don't know what our Christmas or New Year specials will entail. Hopefully something a little bit more lively than this, but that's what I had for you because I just I don't know On my last brain cell and I'm on technically I'm on vacation. So

Guys, that's what I got for you. I hope that you are doing well. I hope that you are staying safe. I hope that you're staying sane and I'll check in on you next time. Bye. I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, I'm just nd nd
