Beantown Podcast - Ramblings of the Fall (09192020 Beantown)

Episode Date: September 20, 2020

Sometimes you start a podcast and you don't know where it's going and along the way you talk about an Eddie Vedder light opera, fall-flavored candles, and (more) Michael McDonald impressions

Hey, what's going on? It's Quinty of Furness, and this is my show. Quinty of Furness presents the Bean Tom Podcast for, I don't know, what, Saturday, September 19th? 19, prime number, Jonathan Taves, Chicago Blackhawks, Captain. 19 doesn't get a lot of respect. And I get it, because it's like... You're up in the teens. And 16's kind of cool, and 17's got a distinct feel to it. But 18 and 19, you're just kind of like, eh, I don't know. I don't know.

This is my show, this is my voice on the producer creator host and best boy and Key grip. I'm always gripping and this is a gripping show so Welcome and thanks for tuning in What's happening? I Just turned on the Cubs twins, which started about 15 minutes ago, to just have on in the background whilst WHILST. Can we get a English check in here? When to use, is there a difference between WILE vs WILEST? It's a fun one to say wildst.

It's got like seven syllables wildst. Or is it just kind of an old fashioned term? An old fashioned girl, who is a maleca, anyone ever read that? What's it about? I don't know. Let's look it up. I was, well well long story short.

I was, or I am watching the Cubs twins game and I turn it on to see the twins picture on the mountain. Michael Pignetta holy crap. This guy is the second coming of like Antonio Alfonseca, except he's got 10 fingers. I had to look this guy up six seven and Online Google search says 260, but I am not buying that Because the gut on this guy. He's got like the you know 50-year-old Polish dad thing going and it's not close. I mean this guy is an absolute giant. Michael

Pignet, a number 35 pitching for the Minnesota twins. And the other thing I was looking up was the Islanders' goalie because I was watching the playoffs game two nights ago, Eastern Conference final between the Lightning and the Islanders. And every time Doc Emmerick, Prinouter says the Islanders' goalie name, it's just like perfect.

It's like when Pat Hughes says, A.U. Haney Oswara's, except for Doc Emmerick, get was Barlamov. I don't know. You got to just go find some highlights of him saying Barlamov Because it's good stuff an old-fashioned girl is a novel by Luisa May Alcott or Lausy May as We like to know it's got a 93% on rotten tomatoes or Google users actually. It's a novel by Louisa May Alcott first published in 1869 and published in the United States. That's good to know, I suppose, published by the Roberts Brothers, great publisher, top

tier publisher. The first six chapters of the novel were serialized, okay. Good stuff, Lausy May added another 13 chapters for publishing the novel. Here we go, that's what I wanted. The book revolves around Polly Milton, the old-fashioned girl of the title, who visits the wealthy family of her friend,

Fanny Shaw, great name, Fanny Shaw. And the city and is overwhelmed by their fashionable life they lead. All this could be my experience. And disturbed to see how the family members fail to understand one another and demonstrate little affection. She's largely content to remain on the fringes of their social life, but exerts a powerful influence

over their emotional lives and family relations. Wow. That sounds kind of interesting. I might look into that later. I don't think I've ever read a book by Louise May Alcott. I don't know much of her stuff. Outside of the hits, you know, little women, little men, Joe Frost dressed dressing piece. Do we need a spoiler for that?

I think it's about 150 years old at this point. Maybe. Listen to discretion as advised when you're tuning into the Bean Tom podcast number one. We'll occasionally use some language number two. This podcast is objectively terrible, but I tell you what, we got a good setup going here. It's Saturday night.

Don't believe me, just watch. Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. Uptown funk. That was a big song. What, like five years ago. I got some candles. I got four different flavors. Right now we got caramel pecan going. He's not a peanut, he's a pecan.

Up to 30 hour burn time, burn baby burn. Disco in Ferno, who sings that song? I don't know. And then, oh man, I'm not wearing my glasses. They're on the other side of the room. We got pumpkin spice. It looks like Macintosh Apple was the first one I broke into and then mold cider maybe.

I don't remember. I started with macintosh apple. Wasn't doing much for me. And we moved to caramel pecan. And it's doing a lot better. It smells very nice. It smells very nice. I encourage, no, nay, I implore, nay, NAY, NAY,

nay, I implore you to go out and get some fun fall candles. They are super fun. I also rescued, I went into my office downtown on Tuesday I went into my office downtown on Tuesday, and I was able to rescue my dragon fingers plant from my office, which has survived the pandemic, which is pretty impressive. And so I got that going on my windowsill. It's a good day. Good stuff all around, fun new plant addition second one and it's a succulent.

Which I don't really know what that means. I just think if a plant is a succulent it means it can survive a lot without water. If there's a more specific definition you're going to have to tweet at us to get it sorted out sorted S-O-R-D-I-D. That's a good word. You know this this bean-town podcast has gotten so not this episode specifically But also this episode specifically but more generally the bean-town podcast has gotten so educational That you wonder if in 50 years, you know, when everyone is rediscovering or discovering for the first time the Beentown podcast, like, you know, when they found that the Tutton Commons tomb in the pyramids and people discover the relics

of the Beentown podcast because God knows we're not running this show for another 50 years. Plus I found a great, Rachel found a gray hair on me today and so I figure I got about 12 years left, Start the countdown. Where was I going with this? Oh, when they discover the Bington podcast, hypothetical. Do you think I, myself, Quinn David Furnace, will be vaunted or revered?ed to a fun one makes you think of Ben

Revere, Philly's legend. Into the pantheon of educational celebrities, let's say, I'm thinking Lavar Burton or Fred Rogers, Bill and I perhaps? I don't know. I think I'll probably have to take Bob Ross's spot. And I feel bad about that, but it's not for another 50 years. So it's like he not for another 50 years.

So it's like he's still got 50 years, you know, to be on the pantheon of education. I'm sure I can't think of a half the time I had, oh Alexander Scrobin is probably a great example, or Scott Joplin. I'm talking about people who didn't who's level of genius Was not realized until after their death I'm pretty comfortable leaning into that because I figure with my current notoriety slash level fame compared to anything else it could be.

It has only to go butt up. Syntax of that last sentence was rough. I apologize. Basically, I'm saying I can't get any less well known than I am now. And our numbers reflect that. Boy, there was a time and a place specifically like last summer into last fall, where we were cranking out the triple digit listens, triple digit downloads on being Tom Podcasts.

Occasionally, we even had an episode hit for four digits, 1000 plus downloads. And this calendar year, I think people just finally gave up, which is okay, because you might feel like I did that too. But, you know, we're doing our best. We're fighting here on the Bington podcast, and I know COVID-19 has been tough in a lot of ways, but hopefully having the steadiness of the Bean Tom Podcast in your life has been a godsend. A blessing in disguise, not even in disguise, because we're not hiding.

We're here for you. The fans, the precious bean heads shout out to Tark Shahada for coining the term. It's a classic. I love it. Hashtag friends of the podcast. Speaking of friends of the podcast, Rockford Light Opera legend and amateur just for fans, Gay porn star, Scott Shannon Farrell,

or just Shannon Farrell, or just Scott Farrell. Been keeping up with him on his porn Twitter page. He has multiple twitters. His like straight forward one, which he never does anything on. And then he has his porn Twitter, where he posts a lot of workout selfies in his basement and at his gym. He works out in like a banana sling hammock basically

in the fans of Todd Quinlan's from the hit comedy drama Scrubs. We'll know what I'm referencing. If not, pause and go YouTube Scrubs banana hammock. Thank me later. What size are you? Medium, extra medium. Love me some Zach breath. But Scott, the reason I bring him up, he's moving, which I might have mentioned a couple weeks ago, he's moving to Seattle. I don't know why. I don't know what his plan is.

I mean, I understand wanting to leave Rockford. Because he's, well, I mean, it took him long enough. He's what, 40-something. And he's just now thinking it might be time to get out of Dodge. I don't know. Especially if you're like, if you're really intent career-wise on going for the porn,

why hasn't he just been in Chicago this whole time? I don't know. I don't ask these questions because I don't want to know the answers. But in a sense, I feel it's my duty to let the listeners of the podcast know. But Scott's moving to Seattle and I'm not quite sure like it might be happening right now. I don't know because according to his Twitter post, he was his last workout before moving. And he seems to work out fairly regularly. I don't know what he's doing if he's just like,

well, the thing is, I don't think he was doing much now other than working for this Cherryvale United Methodist church as the church accompanist, and then he has his, just for fans going, I don't know what he does all day. Like, he works on Sundays and according to the Cherryvale UMC job posting, which I should apply for. I should find a funny way to submit a resume and cover letter. And just somehow find a fun way to incorporate Scott Feral into that.

I think that would be good. Like, Scott Feral's apprentice or something, that would definitely get me hired. But I don't know, you know, Sunday mornings, and let's say just Wednesday nights for our Eamit's sake, for choir practice. And then what just like sits on web cam all day I don't I don't know much about just for fans or only fans or whatever it is I don't know I don't know how you can afford to live making according to his Twitter a couple dollars a month on just for fans and then I

Don't know. Let's just say for our even say $100 a week as a piano accompanist I mean I know cost of living in Rockford's low. My theory, and this might just be true, is that when his husband died, which I learned recently was a continuing the sad story was an OD on, uh, meth crystal. Um, I think he, I think his husband somehow had a lot of money, which I don't really know how, because he couldn't seem to keep a job like Scott, but I think, I think he got money or the house or something.

I don't know, but now Scott is, uh, headed for the coast. It's going to become a big, uh, big death cab fan. And, uh, you know, it's probably going to, probably going to find a way to make a death cab for QD light opera. Or maybe, maybe she's going to, you know, revitalize, revive the Rockford Upper Edit Party in Seattle and get Eddie better to participate, play the lead. Now there's a show I'd like to be part of. Sign me up for that. Even if it's, again, I get paid $35 for 10 weeks of rehearsal and a performance like Worth

it. Worth it for the memories, okay? But that's our, what, bi-monthly Scott Farrell update, you're welcome America. When hiking, start rock yesterday, much less crowded than when I was there a couple of weekends ago. It was very fun. Did not stop in Udica this time around.

Nor did we take a look inside the LaSalle County Historical Society Museum, learned my lesson the first time. Also didn't have any cash. And I'm peace sure that place is cash only. Windsor, here's our poll question of the week. Windsor, last time you paid for something in cash and what was it? It's a conversation I like to have with people because I feel like we are,

well, this usually comes up because I'm talking about tipping. I feel obviously that we are a largely cashless society moving that way, not everyone. But my thing here is any time you have a restaurant or literally anything, could be any business service provider or whatever, where tips can be or are part of it and they're not, you know, they're only giving the option to collect tips as cash and they don not, you know, they're only giving the option to collect tips as cash, and they don't have any sort of, you know, Venmo or cash app, user name, setup,

and clearly displayed. That's just such a miss for those services that are free. Even went out to Archie's cafe, I've done it a couple of times recently, but a couple of weeks ago, and you know, you got a jazz trio playing out on the sidewalk. And they've got a bucket for tips,

but next the bucket, they got a laminated sheet that says, tips also accepted on Venmo. Here's our username, great. I sent them $5. I'm so happy to do that, because it comes right in my bank. It's easy peasy, lemon, squeezy.

I'm doing it, it's done. But if you're asking me to tip cash, I don't have direct access to cash. They're the only way for me to get access to cash, I don't have direct access to cash. The only way for me to get access to cash, so that's not sure I do have direct access to cash. But the only way for me to get cash right now is to physically go to a brick and mortar bank of America, talk to a teller, fill out a withdrawal form and walk out there with bills. Which admittedly is not the end of the world or anything. But who wants to spend their middle of the day just walking around going to get cash and carry in cash?

Not me. around going to get cash and carrying cash. Not me. So to answer my original question, when's the last time you carried cash or not carried cash, used cash to purchase something? I don't know. It's probably for me only been once or twice this year maybe and it hasn't been anything in the last at least three or four months. And that's basically just as far back as I can remember because I have a poor short-term

memory or long-term. What's the cutoff between short-term and and long term memory? I don't know. We should get someone on that. Let's get to our ads here and here from our wonderful sponsors. Home Pride Oregon, are you tired of selling your house or less than a quarter? What is worth all because you could not find a reliable home spectrum time? Well, Oregon listeners, I is worth all because you could not find a reliable home inspector in time well. Oregon listeners, I got good news for you. Home Pride Inspection Services in Bend, Oregon is central, Oregon's hottest new

home inspector provider with inspection services, including things like heating and cooling, roofing, plumbing, and so much more. Home Pride Oregon is both contractor certified and home inspection certified, so you know that you're getting the good stuff all the time. If you're tired of big real estate, little bit of a wrangle hold on the home inspection market and you want a safe certified home inspector that you can trust you have to call trusty Steve at 541-410-0316 or you could just visit homepried Oregon dot com again. That's 541-410-0316 or you can go visit homepried Oregon dot com. It's not in EDU, it's not a gov, it's a com. You don't see dot nets

very much. You know when I think of dot net, I think of like internet in 2002. So the question is, what's the difference between a .com and a .NET? Like, Comcast is always Comcast.NET, and I probably still is, I don't know. But what's the difference? Why do two things exist? I understand .gov. I understand.gov. I understand.edu. How many of these are there? Yeah, Gov.edu.com.net.

Isn't this a fascinating little mental exercise? Aren't you glad you tuned in to today's bean town podcast so you could think about the difference who can dot com and dot net and ponder Christian ponder why it exists. I don't know. Hope right organ inspection. Perfection if I knew I would tell you. Shout out to the Samson Q2U series. It's got crisp clean audio quality from start to finish from Genesis to Revelation, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy,

and all your favorite major and minor profits, including Hosea. What a great, what a great minor profit. Is he? I don't know my list of minor versus major profits. I think major profits are like Isaiah and Ezekiel. Maybe Obadiah. Obadiah is stain.

How come Obadiah is stain never got his own Marvel movie, okay? I would I would be down for a Jeff Bridges Marvel movie Everyone forgets he was the OG Marvel villain the first ever MCU film. He's the bad guy Jeff Bridges what a character When God speaks, he uses a Samson. We're all over the place today and I love it. There's obviously things to be said

for organized episodes, things that have topics. I get it. But I'm also a big fan of just our, you know, word play association kind of show. Because I have a lot of fun with it. It keeps, it keeps you running like a Dubie Brothers song. And I was about to, about to go for a Michael McDonald impression. And I decided not to. Cuts by Q Bob and we've all know the hairstyle and we all love it but how many Chicago-based independent barbers can actually give it to you the way you deserve. Enter cuts by Q. It's like an air sandman only different. Cuts by Q

has been independently owned and operated since 1995 and is probably oh I thought that was gonna be an RBI single for Jason Hayward, almost got through the hole. Nice play by the shortstop. Cutspec Q's been independently owned and operated since 1995 and is probably one of the better barbershop operations serving Chicago, Cook County, North Austin,

Indiana and the greater Chicago land area. From Bives to Bangs, Fowlhawks, the flat tops, and everything in between, you have to call cuts by Q, at 8152987200, or you can email cutsbyqadyahoo.com. Again, that's cuts! QUTZ by Qatyahoo.com.

All right, say it with us. Oh, and you need a fresh do. Something snappy and new. just call the experts at cuts and buy Q He came from somewhere back a long ago Leveled in a fruit like he turned a heart how to do anything wrong and yet to be created. Wants in a life, puts a soul small. What a fool believes and I'm changed.

Wise man has a power, lead it away. It's one of those impressions that's not good, but you're also listening to it and you're like, actually, it's probably not the worst. Michael McDowell, impression I've ever heard. And really, if I can get that B minus grade, I'm content, a solid 82 or 83. That's where I'm most comfortable. I don't want to get cocky. Don't want to get a big head.

Well, for today, I don't know. I don't have much else. You can always email us at bean-town podcast at Yahoo.com again. That's bean-town. Be in podcasts at Yahoo.com. We love to hear from the fans, hashtag friends of the podcast, and the bean heads out there out and about. Boy is it getting dark early. I tell you what, we're looking at like 7 p.m. sunsets these days. Who are BI's single double David Bowie? Nice. And man, once DSTN, hashtag DST and what is that?

Like early November, we go from like a 620 sunset to like 520, 515. That blows. I love fall. Love winter. Well, I want to say I love winter. I can tolerate it The one thing that really blows the early sunsets man Not not a fan of those But you know what same shit every year. So you think after 25 years

Start to get used to it. Working on it. Working on it. That's what I have for you, shorter episode today and that's okay. I was hoping you do some power rankings this week. That was my plan, but I just couldn't decide what I wanted to do. And then I kind of rushed into this recording

because I had a window to get it done. And you know with my high profile busy lifestyle, working three jobs, you got to take your windows anywhere you can get them. That's what I learned from that Feldco commercial. Call 866 for Feldco. So I took my window and I think everyone for tuning in to the Bean Tom Podcast.

I think last week was our 140th episode. So I think this is 141. Love a good Palantromic episode. So I think this is 141. Love a good Palantramic episode. PA, L-I-N-D-R-O-M-I-C, 13th syllable words, which means next week is 142, in case you were following along in that conversation. 150 is looming. We should get to that around,

what, like early December, something like that. Eight more weeks. Late November, Thanksgiving basically. Get in close. And get excited for our fall 2020 New England tour. We've taken the bean town podcast to bean town before, but never have we done shows from, you know, the green mountains, the white mountains, the white mountains,

or Maine. Bean town's gonna be the main squeeze up in Maine. I'm calling it early. So excited for that more details to come and hopefully get some merch going as well. I suppose I got about a month and five days to get that ready. So I should start designing.
