The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk, are secretly unhappy men because the butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk,

They're gladly bid their jury jobs goodbye For anything theatrical and why There's no business like show business Like no business I know Traveling through the country will be thrilling Standing out in front on opening nights, smiling as you watch the theater filling, and there's your billing out there in lights.

Snakes day on your dressing room they've hung a star. on with the show. Hey, what's going on? My name is Quinn David Furnace. Whoo! Welcome to my show. Quinn David Furnace presents the Bean Town podcast,
Starting point is 00:08:41 sixth annual Pledge Drive Tele Telephone Fundraiser. Wow, am I out of breath? What's going on? What's happening? How are we? We got cord city over here. We got a Facebook stream going. We got a YouTube stream going.

Starting point is 00:09:14 The sun's out. Thank you all for being here. If you're watching us on Facebook, hello, if you're watching us on YouTube. Excuse me, hello, what's going on? How are you? My name is Quinn David Furnace, and I gotta tell you, I'm very weary. Facebook, hello, if you're watching us on YouTube, excuse me, hello, what's going on? How are you? My name is Quinn David Furnace, and I gotta tell you,
Starting point is 00:09:28 I'm very weary about this audio stream on GarageBand. I don't know if it's because my MacBook is 10 years older. I've never updated GarageBand before, but it's really, it's really chopping. So if you are just catching the audio stream after the fact you might want a abandoned ship. I don't you know we're 10 minutes in here and things are looking spooky. Hello to our friends in Packie Stan if you were listening right now it's gotta be about it's gotta be I don't know what time do you think it'd be in
Starting point is 00:10:00 Packie Stan probably. I'm guessing like nine, 10 hours ahead. Maybe let's say 10, okay. So it's going to be about midnight where you are. So a little overnight bean town podcast. Thank you for making us the 112th ranked comedy podcast in the country of Pakistan. Kiberpass, Hyderabad, Calcutta, wherever you're calling from, wherever you're listening from. Thank you so much. Guys, we're going to get to phone calls in a second here. Those phone lines are open. So if you want to call, please go ahead and do so. 815-298-7200. I missed one call during our opening numbers, and we're going to be returning that call Very shortly here, I promise, but I got to get some things out of the way, some housekeeping items, if you will.
Starting point is 00:10:50 We are doing this show for the sixth, straight year, year six of the bean town podcast. As a reminder, here's why we do this. Here's why we take your calls. This show costs money to run. We pay for a website hosting through WordPress. It's like 65 bucks. Oh, we got our call coming back.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Put a pin in that, our first call of the day. Welcome to the Bean Town Podcast, six annual pledge drive telephone fundraiser. Thanks for calling. Who's this? Yeah, I'd like to learn. 28 for mushrooms and black olives, please. Is that your actual pizza order?
Starting point is 00:11:28 Yes. You want any of that, like, you want any of that, like garlic butter they put on the crust? Oh, that's a good question. You guys ever had a pizza from 7-Eleven? I think that might be the worst crust of all time. It's good for about two seconds when it comes out of the oven, but you gotta eat that baby fast,
Starting point is 00:11:47 or else it really, I don't know if it's more like a sedentary or an igneous rock, but it's one of those. Yeah, then you burn the roof of your mouth, you got that little piece hanging down, it's no good. Yeah, you gotta go to town with your tweezers or fingernail clippers or something, and you might even sterilize them beforehand, but it's optional.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Yeah. How you doing? This is your, these are your parents calling. That's good, because I blocked so many numbers. It's hard, you don't always see on the caller ID. Who's calling and who's not? I just blocked this Victoria Fuller. I'm sure you guys know about this from the Bachelor.
Starting point is 00:12:28 She was just on Instagram and just, two smoochy smoochy with Greg. What are your guys thoughts on the Bachelor this season? Is that a TV show? Yeah, so give me your thoughts on the whole Chris Harrison kind of conflict. I think that he should be himself. Okay, and then one other question I'm asking all everyone who calls in today. What's your go-to-lam dish? Oh, Schwarma, of course. Okay, what is that? Lamb Schwarma. Yeah. Oh, baby.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Either that or we would do lamb samosas, which are of course a holiday favorite at our house growing up at Christmas. We make wonderful lamb and cilantro mint chutney. Absolutely. Delish. Do you think? Oh, kabob. That's good.
Starting point is 00:13:26 That's good. Is there is there significant flavor to whom it's between a lamb and a sheep? That's something I've always wondered. That's a bad question. Maybe we eat lamb just because we can it's a high, you know, a faster turnover rate. We don't have to wait for them to mature if you will. Yeah. That must will. Yeah that must be yeah. Economics of food here on the bean town podcast. What else is going on today? Oh we are down by Diamond Peak and we're driving at a
Starting point is 00:13:57 blizzard right now in the middle of nowhere to go snow-showing. That should be fun. You go in anywhere in particular, or you're just going to do a loop. We are going to Salt Creek Falls, which is off of 58 on the way over the mountains from Ben to Eugene. And it's an absolutely beautiful waterfall. There are actually a series of waterfalls,
Starting point is 00:14:25 but if we can make it back to the horse tail falls, that would be our destination, probably about six miles. Ground trip, something else. Yeah, we might not feel, really, we are in a whiteout pretty much. So it's odd, we'll see if we can make it. All right, we'll stay safe. Don't drink any of that water from Salt Creek. Could be salty. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, for sure. Probably has that jordan era or whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Yeah. Famous jordan era. Yeah, that's right. That's right. Well, we wish the bean town all the best with this pledge drive will be up in our pledge later today when we get back in service range. But we encourage everyone to support the United Way of Chicago. We're very excited to be parents of the podcast and really excited that this is year six, that's crazy Quinn. It is 600 more to go. Wow, wow. Well, we hope you have lots of, we look forward to listening to the recap
Starting point is 00:15:33 of we're gonna be out of range here in a moment. And it's also like, literally we can't see. It's like, it's really dangerous. So we wish you all the best. All right, thanks for calling, drive safe. All right, love you, feel free. Bye. See, that's the toughest thing
Starting point is 00:15:53 the one thing about these live streams that I haven't figured out here though after six years is we get the callers and the phone to the microphone, speaker phone, sounds okay, not great, but the problem is for you all there on Facebook, YouTube, you're real close to your speaker, you're saying what are they saying, what's happening? Not to mention now we got this great, our heating system, if you will, here, the old HVAC, heating vacuum, air and cooling system is very noisy. It's not quite as intrusive as my old apartment down on a diversity park
Starting point is 00:16:34 way. One of the parkways I've lived on in my lifetime, the other would be Fullerton Parkway, but it's just blasts. Blast everything. I can't hear a damn thing, which reminds me. Listen to discretion is advised when you're listening to the bean-town podcast, even our telephone pledge-write fundraisers for mature rural ears. MATUR, R-E-R-E-R, mature ears. We'll occasionally use some language
Starting point is 00:17:05 in two as podcasts of Jekyll E. Terrible. But who cares about quality? Stick that on your bumper stickers. When you got the great bean heads here, and speaking of stick, if you're on our, we're going to get back to what you were talking about before I promise. If you're on our live stream here,
Starting point is 00:17:23 you two first, you wanna see our bean-town podcast stickers. That's right, our big ticket item this year. If you donate a certain amount of money, probably $25, I don't really know. It's on the website. You will get a bean-town podcast sticker, our first ever.
Starting point is 00:17:40 So we're very excited about that. You can find all the donor tiers, all that information, Topaz Elite Club, online GoFundMe, you can Google search GoFundMe, BeanThom Podcast, sixth annual, and you'll find it maybe if you add a couple more keywords or search terms. We haven't, we talked about this a couple of shows ago, we haven't struck a deal with, We talked about this couple of shows ago. We haven't struck a deal with spirit or delta or Hawaiian or pan-am to sort of have, you know, if you're, what I'm trying to say,
Starting point is 00:18:11 if you're in topaz elite, could that get you then into a Delta Sky Miles lounge? There's something where you get the, you know, free scrambled eggs or I don't, frankly, I don't know know I've never been in an airport lounge before I suppose there's showers I would think what else there's our first chance for a listener our bean head listener engagement opportunity of the show email us bean-town podcast at Yahoo.com again this bean-town V A in T-Loom podcast at Yahoo.com and let us know about some of the best airport lounges you've ever been to or just what is in an airport lounge I'm gonna
Starting point is 00:18:55 guess hot breakfast hot towel service hot toddies, hot showers, hot, hot, um, hot stones, speaking of hot stones, happy anniversary, official anniversary, a couple days ago to my lover, uh, Rachel Raimoss, who if you're curious, you're thinking who's coming out of that closet behind me, Rachel's been in there the whole time, she's getting ready for a big entrance, isn't she? No. She's not here. But the reason I mentioned Rachel, not only is that our anniversary, but we got massages last Sunday and they
Starting point is 00:19:38 finished with the big hot stones, which is pretty exciting. I would have liked if they would have played Gimmi Shelter while they're giving you the hot stones. You know, oop, oop, oop, oop, peace to meet you on Christmas morning. Now, there's nothing more relaxing than hot stones. But second, there's nothing else more relaxing than the sweet, sweet sounds of Mick Jagger, the whole E Street band, of course, it's good stuff. So, you know, hot stones, kind of a double word play, if you will. Speaking of which, I'm excited to announce a new segment here on the bean town podcast, which I haven't even prepared for today. But I just decided yesterday in the shower that it's going to be a thing.
Starting point is 00:20:30 It's going to be our palindrome of the week. Okay. And we're going to get, we're going to get started very simple because there's only so many palindromes in the human language and the English language I don't know we might have to dip our toes into farcey is is is a paladromic concept does that exist in non Arabic numeral Languages if you will you know you got your French your Spanish your German
Starting point is 00:21:04 English Spanish German you will, you know, you got your French, your Spanish, your German, English, Spanish, German, Finnish, although I don't know about Finnish, they all use kind of those, your ABCs, if you will. We go east, across the pond a little bit, you go to Russia, you got Cyrillics and I suppose they probably use that in, you know, Romania and Saqqalin, if you will, in the Faroe Islands, P-H-A-R-O-A-H, known for, that's where they discovered King Tutts' tomb, believe it or not. But you know, it's different letters. And then of course, you go to places like the Taj Mahal,
Starting point is 00:21:50 where it's sanskrit, S-A-N-D-S-K-R-A-T. They named it because they didn't have pencils and papers and papyruses and they would draw it in the sand. So the sand. All right, we're back on audio. We were just talking about that. He's not a, he's not really a monkey. He's more of a critter, a general critter.
Starting point is 00:22:16 He's like a saber tooth squirrel. Scrat, is that his name? I got to tell you, I got over here off camera. We have this Game Boy looking thing I got it for Christmas from some of my siblings and I for like a hot second like 30 hot seconds hot seconds That's what you could get in the airport lounge if you want more scrambled eggs I played this ice age game and you start off as a scratch. You're doing it's kind of like platform Jumping and it's kind of neat
Starting point is 00:22:43 Scrat you're doing it's kind of like platform jumping and it's kind of neat But turns out that just like the ice age movies. He's really just kind of Bops in and out the main game is kind of like this weird helicopter view of Manny voice by Ray Romano and Sid the tiger voice by Dennis Leary and Oh, Sid's the sloth. Who's the tiger Leary and Siddhas the Sloth who's the tiger Diego the tiger the saber to tiger voice by Dennis leary and then Sid the Sloth voice by John like
Starting point is 00:23:12 Zamo L.E.G.U.I Z.A.M.O. and if you're wondering no, I didn't research at the ice age cast before I came in here I just am pretty knowledgeable about movies kind kind of a great A film buff. Of course, you got the sequels with Queen Latifa, but I played that game for 30 hot seconds and it wasn't as fun. I really liked the parts where you got to be the Sanskrit, squirrel, or whatever you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:23:41 So my point here with our, this is all kind of our introduction to Palin Drone of Week, Palin Drone of the Week, by the week for the week. Do other languages, do other alphabets have Palin Drones? Let's check our YouTube comments here. They say, let's go what is happening,
Starting point is 00:23:59 got to get your Mandolin expert on about potential Palin Drones. Mandolin's a cool instrument. It's kind of small. I was always confused because you got the eight strings. You got two strings of each tone. And I always thought, double the chance of breakage. Could you get a richer harmony, I suppose.
Starting point is 00:24:18 But you got eight strings. You only got five, really four fingers. Because the thumb, a lot of people don't know this, the thumb, you're a opposable thumb not technically a finger so you really have four fingers and one opposable thumb so you got eight strings and only four fingers I think it would make more sense if you if the mandolin came with like I'm thinking like a doc, sort of situation where you could have your four fingers, but then you could plug something into the back of your hand or the front, like the wrist,
Starting point is 00:24:52 like the original Spider-Man has not Toby, but Andrew and Tom, where they kind of got to wear this device. So this device, instead of shooting webs, it would have four additional fingers. And this would be, we could call this the mandolory in guard. And it would be four robotic arms fingers, if you will, that could then, you could control them. I would think with your mind, I think
Starting point is 00:25:23 would be the best way to do it. You could look at a foot lever system like you're playing the organ, the organ trail. What if you played the organ. That's kind of what it would sound like. All right. So I think we should get the show started here and we're going to have all sorts of special collars we've already had one again 815 298 7200. Oh, we got to finish our first thought. Oh, also we didn't do Paladrom of the day.
Starting point is 00:26:18 One thing at a time here, Paladrom of the day is race car in honor of last week's Daytona 500. It was, you know, it was a great day. Rachel and I, we went and we got our hot stones. We got our massage. We finished up with a little, uh, kind of early evening nightcap at, uh, a beer mischewis, if you will, on Lincoln Ave and diversity, another great parkway. And we were, you know, this is how you know we're gonna make it. Young couple in love, got our hot stones, we got our craft beers, we're getting the ones with the high, you know, ABVs, alcohol by volume,
Starting point is 00:26:57 if you will. And these pants keep falling down, they're way too loose. Haven't worn them in two years. Crotch shot for YouTube and Facebook. But I look good. That's something I want to say before I finish all those thoughts here. I look good. Pulling out the purple suit, checking out our YouTube comments. Sounds like I'm on the Oregon Trail by Tarlie Chopin. I got to get my ice checked here. My optometrist was in a shop code that closed and I haven't been able to find him since true story. Uh, but Rachel and
Starting point is 00:27:31 I were sitting there were drinking our beers, memories of hot stones, fresh in our minds and our backs. And where I got the day tone of 500 stream on my phone, we got it propped up just the two of us holding the hands at our table were watching. Ricky Stinkhouse, Jr. win on a caution, a terrible way to end, by the way. But I thought our first palindrome of the week and our brand new segment could be race car. R-A-C-E-C-A-R.
Starting point is 00:27:58 So for the kids out there, maybe you're listening, and maybe you, you know, you said, well, Quinn said, listen to discretion is advised, I feel advised, and you're wondering, well you, you know, you said well, Quince had listened to discretion, his advice, I feel advised and you're going to, well, Quince, what's a palindrome P-A-L-I-N-D-R-O-M-E? It means a letter that is the same front words and back words. Now, it doesn't, it's not 3D, it's not, you know, upwards and downwards. That'd be kind of cool. I think there are some of those words that exist.
Starting point is 00:28:22 I don't know what the term for that is. Barrow or Rob, those are not palindromes, but if you combine them together, they are. Thank you to our YouTube comments. It's our good friend of the podcast Matt Fiedler, who will be on the show in a couple weeks. I would think for our taxes, especially also got brother to the podcast Walt Furnace chiming and on YouTube. Thank you both for your comments here. But race car is going to be our first palindrome of the week. And really what I was trying to say about the whole languages thing, which is how we got talking about ice age, of course, was if you give me a sentence in aboriginal, you know, and I don't really
Starting point is 00:29:06 know what their alphabet looks like. But does that exist? Do you have words, concepts, phrases that could be the same front words and backwards? So we'll continue to investigate. That'll be part of our bean town goes global, sort of initiative, if you will. I love using initiative as sort of a catch-all for anything. Like the bean town gives back initiative, which I'm proud to pioneer, speaking of Oregon Trail. I did some community service a couple months, last month, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We went out to Montreux Beach to Magic Hedge, the bird sanctuary, all that good stuff. We cleaned up a lot of trash.
Starting point is 00:29:47 There's a lot of Heineken and Madello seem to be the glass bottles of choice, some tampons, some condoms, a lot of chips, a lot of just loose toilet paper. So doing some good deeds here and there. So doing some good deeds here and there. To go back all the way to our very first point, what we're doing here on the show, we're raising money. It's about $60 for the website operating costs each year. And then you throw in another, and I think they've up to these prices. You throw in another like 120, I think it was up to these prices. You throw in another 120, I think it was,
Starting point is 00:30:25 134 soundcloud. Why do you have to do that? Well, you have to have some sort of platform that will actually host your unlimited storage and guys, we got a lot of storage because this is our six year of the show. I think we're at episode two 70-ish, somewhere in that main, we're coming up.
Starting point is 00:30:44 We'll hit 300 I think in like October perhaps But that cost money as well. Here's kind of the cool thing about it though I am going to and we've done this past couple years every dollar I get and I've seen those donations coming in today Thank you to everyone who's donated. I don't have the list directly in front of me But I know we have a number of donations already just today, which is very exciting. I match those donations that come in dollar for dollar. There's no skimming off the top, no 10%.
Starting point is 00:31:13 I keep for myself. Everything you pump into this show, we use it to run the show and as a show of gratitude and to better our community as part of our bean town gives back. Initiative, I throw those dollars directly from my bank account back out to the United Way of Metro Chicago. It keeps the money moving. If you're doing the mental math at home, what it actually means is just quins losing money on this, but that's perfectly fine because I don't care about losing money when it's for a great cause, like our partners over at the United Way of Metro Chicago who are doing a lot of amazing things.
Starting point is 00:31:50 So that's what we're doing here today. We're going to keep that donation kind of website up and running until I remember to take it down probably in a couple days here. We kind of make February or like go to Pledge Drive Month. So that link's been up for about two or three weeks now, and it will continue to stay up for a hot second. But that's that's kind of set in the scene for the show. If you're listening on on just audio, as a reminder, we're doing the best we can with this show today to make it not only
Starting point is 00:32:20 visually stimulating for those of you on YouTube, those of you on Facebook, thank you all for watching. But I try to make it an actual podcast as well, right? Because I'm not gonna double down. But what it sometimes means is you don't get the perfect audio experience with this show, in particular compared to most of our shows, which are just obviously gold, almost platinum or topaz Elite standard for audio
Starting point is 00:32:45 engineering quality. I did not go to school for sound recording technology but I knew a couple of guys who had those majors. So I think like to think it rubbed off but we're doing our best. It's a much longer show than usual. I mean we're at 33 minutes now and we are just starting to kiss some of our core content. I was happy to open with the musical number. I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to do with that, but we opened up with, of course, the entertainer, which is the theme song of the show.
Starting point is 00:33:16 And then our second tune there was The Rosebud March by Scott Joplin as well, which is just a fun little ditty. It feels very like Sousa-esque, if you will. It's a march, of course. And then we finished off with the great cover of From A to Get Your Gun Ethel Merman. There's no business like show business.
Starting point is 00:33:39 And I wanted to just briefly introduce a new segment here on the bean town podcast. A lot of new segments today have been doing a lot of writing. It's called on this day in history or another day. And so on this day in history or another day, Ethel Merman releases her disco album of her greatest hits. It's a real thing. She went on the tonight show, Carson and everything to perform it. She performs Alexander's Rake Time Band disco version. If you're curious what I'll send the album, there's some great hits.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Like, of course, there's no business, like show business. Some people, everything's coming up roses. There's like nine or 10 of those disco hits on there that she made and she was all into and stuff. And so I don't know what year it was and I don't know what day it was. It probably wasn't February 26th, but on this date in history or another date, Ethel Merman releases her disco albums. If you're not familiar with that, go check it out. It's a total banger. It's a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Before we jump into our next segment here, let's quickly run through what we're drinking. So we got our JackLinks, FeegerWildsci, jacklinks.com, FamilyQuality, Guarantee, JackLink, TM. JackLink is TM, but not JackLinks links. Since 1885 we got Sasquatch your shout out to Uncle of the podcast Uncle Andy Denerson Denerson Denison. Well that's not really what I miss pronounced. Uncle Andrew Denison let's just put it
Starting point is 00:35:17 that way for the hot merch hot merch something else you could get at your airline club. Again we're working on that partnership with a potential airline for those Topaz Elite members. So donate, donate, donate. This is just water with some lime, some lemon. If I had some vodka, that'd be good maybe, but I'm trying to pace myself, you know? I didn't take any at any edibles or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:35:41 And this isn't gonna be, you know, for those of you familiar with like the, oh, we got a phone call coming in. Here we go. Oh, this is going to be from the road. We're going to get back to our beverage rundown in a second here. Oh, this is going to be a real treat.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Here we go. Welcome to the Bean Tom Podcast, sixth annual Plus Drive, Telephone Fundraiser. How's it going? What's happening? How are you? Are we doing 11th caller?
Starting point is 00:36:04 No, you're number two. That's still pretty good. Oh. What's going what's happening? How are you? Are we the 11th caller? No, your number two. That's still pretty good. Oh, what's our prize? Two kisses into the microphone. I think I got some lint on my lips. You felt that all the way here in New Jersey. Oh, how are the roads out there? Beautiful, wide, spacious, and smooth. Oh, how how how are the roads out there? beautiful spacious
Starting point is 00:36:28 and smooth Excellent. I this is so this is brother and sister of the podcast Jack and Nicole and I heard and I saw that You you hit a new state today that you'd never been in before and it wasn't gas liquid or plasma it was been in before and it wasn't gas liquid or plasma it was. What are your thoughts or do you take a ways? Yeah, we stopped at a sheets just off highway 70 was on Cabela Drive. Probably the worst gas station coffee I've ever had. That's tough.
Starting point is 00:37:02 There was a black lives matter Matter Black History Month advertisement at the gas station pump and so I have for due to help for the state. The great state of West Virginia. Yeah it was really less less West Virginia. It's open for business officially and it's also wild and wonderful. I like that. I like that. So, you were tight tight as first time in West Virginia as well, so people are very excited. I guess dog of the podcast, Mary Tyler Moore, first proof and the in West Virginia. Nice. That's good stuff the coffee, felt the earth under our feet. And yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:15 Wheeling, West Virginia, is that where you went? So we took the interstate around Wheeling. We skipped all the local exits, but we were, I would say we were in the wheeling suburbs. The bustling wheeling suburbs. As the hills outside of the wheelings. So, yeah, now we're in New Jersey, we're about an hour and a half from New York. We're going to, today is a day of firsts, we're going to drive on Staten Island for the first time ever Everybody's favorite for us.
Starting point is 00:38:50 So now all of the driven and all five bros and we're gonna drive across the How narrow are they? Oh, like the stones throw. Wow. Yeah, between like self-proclaimed and, is that an island, something like that? I suppose if you have a good arm, like baseball season, spring training. And I heard today you're going to be a first time you drive all the way to the end of Long Island and back.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Yeah, we're going to make a quick good stop at on top. It's been a dream of mine ever since I watched that movie with Jim Terry and the girl. Yeah, yeah, Kate Winslet, very good in Spider-Man, and of course, 500 days of summer or whatever that movie was called, Good Stuff. Yeah, no, it's moving up to Kino. He has no idea. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Yep, Long Island Railway or whatever it's called.
Starting point is 00:40:06 L-I-R-R, yeah. Yeah, we'll see. We're going to do that today. I didn't either, but the roll-in was good. For the integrity of the pledge drive, I think, well, you can do a pros and cons list after you get off the phone. How's the telephone going? Did you hit your fundraising goal? I have no idea. I'm really not get off the phone. How's the telephone going? Did you hit your fundraising goal?
Starting point is 00:40:26 I have no idea. I'm really not focused on the money. I'm focused on the fun. I'm focused on the community. We had a couple of musical opening numbers. We've had callers. We've talked palindromes. We've talked sand, grit.
Starting point is 00:40:40 We're going to have a message from a special canine guest in a couple of minutes here here so things are going well. All right, all right, well I won't spoil it by making any guesses. Did you take my idea? Are you getting a dunk tank this year? No dunk tank, I figured if we still have another 80 years of this show, I want to pace myself with the ideas. Yeah, I think a good thing.
Starting point is 00:41:05 I think you should set it up, like, right, on the lakefront trail and just make it like performance hard, passers-by, to dump you. I think if we did that, we'd have to switch the show from February to July, perhaps. That's true. It could be a fuller bunch, kind of thing. Sounds like hypothermia. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:25 All right. We'll put that idea on ice for now. No pun intended. You free the user at any time, though. No royal teams. I appreciate that. Thanks so much. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:36 All right. Well, we're very happy to be your second caller. Mm-hmm. And I've sent them for our answer to the key 9 minutes. Oh yeah, it's too bad we could have a lot of the same time. Yeah, I'll let them know that that could have been kind of explosive, but thanks thanks tie tie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She's trying her best to stay awake. She's not. She's doing okay. Yeah. I'm not in the lab. It is. It's very well. I like. So I sleep. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:42:10 She's present. Yep. It's all right. Good. All right. Are you really going to go until eight o'clock? No. Okay. Good. You got to eat supper.
Starting point is 00:42:23 Yeah. All right. Well, I hope you have lots of fun. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that.
Starting point is 00:42:38 I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'll just send it eastward and it'll get there. All right, we'll look out for it. Yep, yep, yep. All right, guys, thanks for calling. Yeah, thanks for having us. The love being on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Uh, deep down rules. Yeah, good. Cut bus being town in West Virginia. Good luck on your unpacking. Thanks to we're optimistic. Cut bus being town in West Virginia. Good luck on your your unpacking. Thanks to We're optimistic. Yeah, it'll be good. All right. All right, guys.
Starting point is 00:43:13 Yeah, have a good night. All right, that was our second call of the day. That was brother and sister-in-law of the podcast, Jack and Nicole, who were gracious enough to call from the road. And that seems to be a theme today. Everyone's driving on a Sunday. I don't really know what that's about. I don't own a car. But driving in New Jersey on their way to their new home in Brooklyn, their first time ever living in Brooklyn, I believe. So that's very exciting for those guys. Thank you for calling. Thank you for donating as always. So again, here in our Jack links,
Starting point is 00:43:49 I don't know what you'd really call this a power mug, I guess. We have our Jack links feature while so I already said all that stuff. It's lemon lime water. It's not bubbly water. I ran out of time as will often happen on this program, but it's 30 ounces or so of water with ice cubes and a little bit of that lemon lime refreshment.
Starting point is 00:44:13 Next up here we have Duncan Donuts. It's a some sort of iced coffee. I got to tell you, I don't really get into the whole food app rewards kind of deal because I just feel like for me personally, I try not to eat out that much, especially at fast food places. And I think just having those rewards in front of my eyes would always make me be like, oh, I'll just go to this place and spend more money. So the only thing I really do is dunk in because coffee is just one of those things that I enjoy a drink a lot of most of the time
Starting point is 00:44:46 in the morning I brew my own, but sometimes you want a little something extra. Duncan, they cycle through different monthly deals, monthly offers. Last month, it was a $1 medium midnight coffee blend, which I was on a huge fan of, as you'd expect from the midnight name, it's a very dark roast,
Starting point is 00:45:04 and it's got sort of an aftertaste that is not terrible and you kind of get used to it, but it just kind of lingers in your mouth and it wasn't my favorite, but I got it a bunch because of $1.00. This month in February, so we're done in what two days here, it's a $2 iced coffee when you order ahead, which is, you know, some of these iced coffee drinks that, you know, Starbucks and Duncan and everyone and making these days, they'll upcharge those, like, crazy. And I saw United, and again, I don't know if we're going to get into the United Lounge per se with the Topaz Elite members, but I saw that they're going to start serving iced coffee on their flights, which has got to be like 10 bucks or something like that. So this is, I think it's an ice coffee with some sort of foam on top, and I think I put caramel in there as well. It's
Starting point is 00:45:53 pretty tasty. Our last thing here, I wanted to do something special. We got our water, we got our caffeine. I wanted to break the bank a little bit for the show. It's very exciting. Our drink of choice today, our beverage, we haven't gotten into it yet, but it's bottled in Scotland. Trader Joe's blended Scotch whiskey. My first ever bottle, it was, I won't say the exact price, but it was more than $7. So we'll just keep that our little secret.
Starting point is 00:46:23 We're gonna get into that in a little bit here. We might have a beer that to go with it. That's kind of my sneaky trick is to have a little bit of beer drink it. I like beers. We drank beers. Sometimes we had too much beers with Tobin. That's a whole Brett Kavanaugh thing
Starting point is 00:46:39 that we're not gonna get into. Because I finished my material. But sometimes I'll drink a little bit. Pour some whiskey on top. give it a big shake, make sure, you know, waste too much. Jazz hands for those of you on the video stream. Waste too much, and then you got like two drinks in one. Will it alter the integrity of the beer a little bit? Absolutely, but you just got to grit your teeth.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Bite your lip, get up and dance. Here's a song I never played before. Let's see how it goes. I have no idea. 1.5% 1,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5, So that's Alton John's Bite Your Lip Get Up and Dance, the closing number from his Blue Moves album, which I've never tried to play before. Right now, you couldn't even tell is the crazy thing, but to cap off that thought, it's our thought. We twerk live on air. I promise I'm not even high or drunk. Thanks for
Starting point is 00:49:11 bearing with us today on the Pledge Drive Telephone fundraiser. It's really a great program but that's our blended Scotch whiskey. We might combine it with rogue nation beer out there in Oregon. Got a stand-up occasion, it's my knees. They're rough, man. We got what's it called? It's some sort of like chupacabra, bat monster on the cover. The covers, really, the can,
Starting point is 00:49:40 or the box that it comes in. So we're gonna get into that in a little bit here. It's pretty tasty. I picked it out from the jewel. A couple a couple days ago. Any jewel fans out there, email us, beantownpodcastatyahoo.com, and that's beantownbeantownpodcastatyahoo.com. Let us know. What's your favorite jewel song? Even after you're gone. Is that jewel? I don't know what it's called. Oh, thanks for, we got Peter Schiller coming in on the YouTube comments.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Thanks for listening. I knew when I mentioned jewel, he would be like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm coming in hot. I gotta be here. I gotta, yeah, I got my top 10 jewel songs, J-E-W-J-E-L-L-G-U, if you had Palin Dromed it. But, jewel, I know we never talked about jewel on the Bean Town podcast before. So those are our beverages of choice today.
Starting point is 00:50:40 We're about 51 minutes into the pledge to have telephone, fundraiser. It's a great time to remind everyone you can call and be live on air 815 298 7200. Here's a deal guys. If you're calling, you can't get through. The phone lines are busy. I feel like Ryan C. Creston, Brian, uh, dunkelman right now. Keep calling.
Starting point is 00:51:02 I'm going to keep those phone lines open for as long as we can. If you get voicemail, there's a special treat for you in there. There's a great voicemail message I recorded in the gym yesterday. I think you'll like it. And we just got the the energy's great. I'm feeling great. We got the sun shining. It's a beautiful Sunday afternoon here in Chicago. Although my head's a little itchy from this hat, so we're gonna give that a break for a second. I wanted, you know, our next, what we're gonna go through next year is big college basketball time.
Starting point is 00:51:34 We were watching a lot last night. Mark Ket first, DePaul, Mark DePaul hung tough against the goal the needles. We watched, well, that earlier in the day, to Paul women's basketball almost, almost upset the number four UConn Huskies. I got this cord here. It's cord city over here. My hair is crazy. Holy cow. I should have put some gel in this. But I wanted to give you a rundown of the men's basketball scoreboard for today. And we're not going to, ooh,
Starting point is 00:52:03 Northwestern got smacked by Maryland, that's rough. We're not gonna do that classic top 25 stuff because that's so overplayed. We're gonna go to the independent league. Oh, there aren't no games today in the independent league. Did you guys realize that Chicago State is playing Gonzaga on Wednesday March 1st?
Starting point is 00:52:26 Here's Let's our next listener engagement opportunity email us before Wednesday Bean Tom podcast at Yahoo.com against bean Tom podcast Yahoo.com and get take your guess for Basically will Chicago State avoid being doubled up. So if it's 80 to 40, you lose, if you say, yes, they'll avoid it. It's kind of complicated. You can really just pick whatever you want, but that game is gonna be ugly.
Starting point is 00:52:55 So let's jump away from the independent league because there weren't any great scoreboard games. Let's go to the summit league. I'm a big summit head, if you will. Let's check out, or we're back to March 1st. Well, that's not going to work. We need live scores Sunday, February 26th, nothing. Saturday, February 25th.
Starting point is 00:53:14 Here we go. Okay, so here's our summit league scores for all you summit heads out there. Pat, summit, Pat Summer All, which one is it? Are they two different people? Did I make one of them up? I don't know. Here we go. Western Illinois, fall falls to North Dakota state the Jackrabbits 71 to 69 North Dakota not to be confused with North Dakota state Defeat St. Thomas Minnesota 82 to 74 oral Roberts actually the Jackrabbits are South Dakota state oral Roberts beats South Dakota state in the
Starting point is 00:53:45 jackrabbit 69-65. I think we're like some goldminegals too. Denver defeats Omaha a little surprising. 72-61.
Starting point is 00:53:53 And then finally, in a big blow to their playoff resume, Kansas City falls 48-South Dakota 82. So that's
Starting point is 00:54:01 you know, that could shake up March Manus here. And then also, I wanted to make sure recovered for all our neck heads out there The NEC which must be the North Eastern Conference. I don't know So again four more games here for you all Merrimack defeats Long Island University Eternal Sunshine and Spotless Mine 80 to 59 sacred hard over Central Connecticut 69 to 67 Fairly Dickinson, toppled St. Francis Brooklyn 86 to 69 and then finally Wagner defeat St. Francis PA 68 to 58.
Starting point is 00:54:32 I kind of unexpected, you know, St. Francis PA, St. Francis, Pa, Pa Joed, Pa Grape. Remember that Pa Grape character from Veggie Tales. If you forgot, that's okay because we're going to be circling back to some of the God stuff in a couple seconds here. Can I introduce you all to a resource? That's great for kids and adults alike that you've probably never heard of before. Yeah, where is my hairbrush? Exactly. Thank you for tuning in. John Key, friend of the podcast. Good to hear from you. Okay, where is my hairbrush? Exactly. Thank you for tuning in. John Key, friend of the podcast. Good to hear from you. Okay, I mentioned in our last call, and there's a matter of you, you can, you can call us 8152987200.
Starting point is 00:55:14 We're taking donations, not really over the phone because I, I don't really know how those PBS guys do that, but we got a phone back there and we donate on Go Fund Me. That's how we do it. And again, I'm matching dollar for dollar your your donations to the United Way of Metro Chicago, which is very exciting. We've already got a lot of donations coming in today. And if the full lines are busy, keep calling, keep trying. We'll make it work, I promise. Okay, I mentioned in our last call we were going to have a special message from a visitor, a guest of K9 Persuasion and speaking of guests before we get to that message, I did reach out to Tulsi Gabbard's team to I love Hawaii, Owa-U, Aloha, Wa-Kiki, Aloha, Diamond Head, Surf and Turf. So we kind of had those things in common.
Starting point is 00:56:18 So I reached out to Tulsi. I said, hey, Tee-Dog, Tulsi, Oklahoma, Tulsi, Gabbard. Like, we love to have you on the show. So I just wanna, if we get a number from a Hawaii area code, we'll be in business. There was also some talk from myself to myself in the shower last night, maybe J. Fred Mugs would make an appearance.
Starting point is 00:56:40 Unfortunately, if you ever Googled J. Fred Mugs, you'll realize most of the news articles about him kind of stop in like 1962, 1963, when it sort of became taboo, if you will, which I'm not saying I agree with this, it just it became taboo in American society to have chimpanzees host morning shows, which is why you won't see J-Fred Mugs on the Today Show anymore, with your Al Rokers and your Savannah Whites, whoever else is on the today show these days. But I had this idea about the today show. I wanted to, it was kind of a, it was at this day in history segment or another day. So we'll save that for another week.
Starting point is 00:57:21 It's going to be good. I think you're going to like it. But Jay Fred Muggs incredibly hard to to reach. Obviously he doesn't speak English. Obviously he, uh, I don't know. He's not like, he's not one of those cocos that can communicate with sign language. So apparently, excuse me, according to the internet from what I can find, he's still alive somewhere. He's like 71, 72 chimpanzees's not supposed to live that long. So I don't know if he was, you know, what they have in that today's show, NBC cafeteria, what they were pumping him full of back in the, you know, 50s and 60s there. But Walter Cronkite, of course,
Starting point is 00:57:59 famous host of the today's show. So we'll see about J-Fred Mugs. That's the one I wouldn't count on. J-Fred, Tulsi, I feel more optimistic about. All right. Here's a special message, and this relates back. I got this, this sort of vision in my head, and this is me sort of translating that vision from these sort of mental images I received to the words, which is basically how the Bible was written.
Starting point is 00:58:35 So I don't feel too bad about sharing this. This is, it relates to a show we did a couple months ago. And this is a message from the ghost of Togo. Okay, we're back on that energy. If you all didn't listen to the Bean Town Podcast last time I was in New York, we did an expose, if you will, which we got more exposés coming later in the show, I promise, of a beloved figure. So I think, well, this one's kind of that way too.
Starting point is 00:59:04 We're really taken down the patriarchy although neither person I'm trying to take down today really is a human male. So kind of less the patriarchy and more just kind of doggy arki and later the matriarchy actually. But this is you know we talked about Togo, we talked about Balthow, sort of how those two interlocked, interchanged with one another. And so here is a message I received from the ghost of Togo, from the grave, wherever that dog is buried. So here it is. And I look, this is, I'm just reading this. And I look this is I'm just reading this. This is just okay my translation It says dear Quinn. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to speak to all the beanheads and all of the world and bean town nation to clear the air
Starting point is 00:59:59 regarding the gnome serum run back in 1925 Let's clear the air right away sort of repetitive, but again, this is Togo. This isn't really my writing. Balthow was one cocky son of a bitch. Literally. That bastard Lupinaceous, it's a good word, L-U-P-I-N-A-C-I-O-U-S. Half blood, low blow. Totally coasted on my laurels. Have you guys even read the Wikipedia article on me? I have, I don't speak for the bean heads. I was practically jumping, I don't know how to say this word,
Starting point is 01:00:33 crevasses, crevasses, crevasses. One of those things, Toga would know. Half a mile wide, I out ran avalanches faster than the speed of light. My dogs were barking at the end of every day, literally, but I kept on keeping on. I liked that one when that kind of showed up in my vision. I was like, that's fun.
Starting point is 01:00:53 That's neat. Dogs get puns too, okay? And who gets the statue? Who gets the Oscar-nominated animated picture? Who gets a sequel, Bto, two wins of change? All because he ran the last 30 seconds of what I heroically started. So let me finish by saying this.
Starting point is 01:01:13 I am awesome. Balto Stinks, love, togo. And then you can see he's got a little PS here. PS, I wish I was named after a cooler country like North Macedonia or Central African Republic. So there is our message from the Ghost of Togo. Again, it was sort of a vision that came upon me while I was on the exercise bike and later in the shower. I just sort of translated the best I could. But Togo, may he rest in peace, of course, a real hero of the 1925 Nome Serum Run,
Starting point is 01:01:48 and I just thought it was kind of cool to be able to sort of hear what he would have sounded like if he was still alive today, 100 years later. So thank you to Togo so much, one of our special guests today. As a reminder, Tulsi Gabbard, if you are out there, phone lines are currently open. So 815-2987-2, 0-0, it should, you know, if you're in a Wahoo or Maui, the big island, as they
Starting point is 01:02:17 like to call it, a Wahoo, of course, you should be able to just, it should be a domestic, know kind of short not long distance call because Hawaii of course the 50th state so you don't have to worry about tolls you don't have to worry about trolls toll house cookie bars are pretty some of those for their show but let's say that for year seven. Okay, phone lines are open. Feel free to call any time.
Starting point is 01:02:49 We got a YouTube message where the Fisher price phone get airplay. Yeah, we got our cool little Fisher price phone going on over here. It's been a dear member of the bean town pledge drive telephone family for a number of years. And I really had to go digging like two hours ago to try to figure out where exactly the Fisher Price phone was. Because I don't, you know, this will surprise a lot of bean heads out there, but I really don't use it
Starting point is 01:03:19 all that much. You know, mostly when I'm like babysitting, which I've never really done before. It's got some creepy kind of googly eyes going on back there. Don't stare directly into the eyes. But yeah, a dear dedicated friend of the show and specifically the pledge that I have tolephone fundraiser. I did find it. It was in a shoe box in my dresser, which is a good place for that. We're going to get into the drinks in a little bit here, but we're going to keep the party going. Let's hear.
Starting point is 01:03:56 This would be a good time. We're probably about halfway down with our show here or well over an hour. Let's hear from our sponsors, our ad reads, come in live on. Oh gosh, we got so much to get to here. I just looked at my show notes here to remember what exactly we're getting ourselves into. There's a lot going on.
Starting point is 01:04:15 Okay, let me switch my Google accounts here. We'll get our ads fired up here. And then we're going to jump right back into some other great segments for you. Because I'm telling you right now, I just looked at my notes, we got a lot going on today, we're gonna be pushing some of that likely to a couple future episodes. I mean, I don't even know if we're gonna have time for activity at trivia,
Starting point is 01:04:36 that's how loaded this show is today. Okay, here we go. Are you tired of selling your house for less than a quarter of what it's worth all because you couldn't find a reliable home inspector in time? Well, Oregon listeners, there's some good news for you. Home pride inspection services in Bend, Oregon, your house for less than a quarter of what it's worth all because you couldn't find a reliable home inspector in time.

I also want to give a shout out to the Samson Q2U series that's got crisp clear audio quality, whether you are defeating the Philistines in Goliath and, you know, Medusa, or you're walking around the city of Jericho seven times. Here's what I never really understood. We've probably said this a million times in the show before.
Starting point is 01:05:52 Why do they need to walk around Jericho? They could just go past. Do you think God just really wanted them to get exercise? Was it a cardio thing? But even then, they've been wandering in the desert for 40 years. So it's like how much cardio do you really need realistically if you've been wandering for 40 years?
Starting point is 01:06:17 I just swallowed an ice cube. If you're wondering that if you look at a map of Canaan and Suez Canal and stuff, you see if you're wondering 40 years, that's like 120,000 days. My question is, like 140,000 days, were they just walking in circles? Like I know they just circle around Jericho, but Where else could you would figure they would wander somewhere else like if you're gonna be walking for a hundred 40,000 days couldn't you have walked somewhere cool somewhere less desert-y? Somewhere where there's something better to eat than mana. I'm thinking you know talk about going to like
Starting point is 01:07:08 Grease or something think about all all those cool badass olive trees they have. Can you imagine just walking around in the wild and it's like, oh, I'll pluck this cool olive off a tree. It's salty. It's meaty. It's delicious. It's got, you know, protein and vitamins, K, D and B one. Instead, you're hanging out in like the Sinai Peninsula, which is sand and camels. I don't even think you could eat the camels during Lent. I take a lot of issues with the choices that they made. But regardless of whether you take issue or not, when God speaks, he uses a Samson. And of course, finally, our good friends at Cuts by Q, guys, check out this haircut.
Starting point is 01:07:54 This does not happen naturally. My hair is a disaster today. It really just, well, Cuts by Q will make it look good though. Here we go. Bob and weave. 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
Starting point is 01:08:12 deserve? And they're cuts by Q. It's a little like enter salmon only different. Where were we here? Cuts by Q has been independently owned and operated since 1995 and is probably one of the better barbershop operations serving Chicago, Cook County, Greater Northwest Indiana, if you will, and the Greater Chicago Land Area.

Or you can email Cuts by Q at Yahoo.com and that's Cuts! Q-U-T-Z by Q at Yahoo.com. Alright, for the sixth annual Pledge Drive Telephone fundraiser, a nice little song here. Let's see if we can get it going. I don't know what key I usually sing in.
Starting point is 01:09:06 Oh! Oh! I'm so stupid. Something stabbed me in the nose. It was called the absurd zip-kicks. I'm fine. Okay. Alright. Kind of loving this impromptu music thing.
Starting point is 01:09:29 Can you imagine if we, excuse me, can you imagine if we had the technology and the production quality that kind of had the live piano always be a thing? I always wanted to have audio drops to it or basically sound effects, but you know, you can have like funny sound bites and clips and stuff from wherever you want. We got another call coming in. Here we go. This is going to be trouble.
Starting point is 01:09:51 Coming up after this call, we've got our special section today for the Christians in the room. So I think you're going to like that. Here we go. Welcome to the Beentown Podcast, sixth annual Pledge Drive Telephone Fundraiser Spect spectacular. What's going on? How are you? Hey, Quinn. Hey, Curie.

When you hit your goal, just you know that? I, and it's not about the money for me because it's really about the charity, the community, the good feelings and pretty soon this Trader Joe's branded blended Scotch whiskey. Yeah, we got our Duncan. We We got our jack links lemon lime water. They really might you ever have rogue nation beer? Is it just a rogue?
Starting point is 01:10:54 The following is rogue nation. Oh, rogue nation. It's the fifth one in the series. It's got the Vingrains and Paul Pat was only around for the fourth one, but she was married to you'll remember Robin Thick from blurred lines, but they are divorced now of course. I did you see Tom Cruise's interview on Kimmel the other day He's he's getting ready for mission impossible seven to come out seven to come out. Is it seven though? So four you had ghost protocol. We saw that in theaters as a family. He climbs the Wiz Khalifa. Number five is rogue. not my favorite, it features that Sean Guy, he's British, good actor, no. And then, yeah, so sixth was, what do they call it? It's my favorite one, and I can't remember the title. It's so good with Henry Cavill, exactly. So I think this one that's coming out this summer is seven. It's called the
Starting point is 01:12:01 Dial of Destiny, I think it's got Harrison. It's called the Dile of Destiny. I think it's got Harrison. Yeah, Harrison Fords back and and Fleabag plays his stepdaughter and I think Gimli is back as well. So we got Indiana Jones. We got Mission Impossible. It's gonna be good stuff. Yeah, not a lot of new ideas out there? Well, it's John Williams last film not not mission impossible So what are you guys doing today? Yeah, it's his last movie Preserve of sorts and I just had my stroll in the sunny weather last movie. How's the temperature in Kelvin? Nice. Uh, the just mental math. Five five ninths F minus 32. That's not for Kelvin. Yeah, but you got to get it to see first before you can, you know, do your conversion.
Starting point is 01:13:11 Yeah, my total, I'm a total physics head. It's probably somewhere in the neighborhood of like the low 290s, Kelvin. That's just, it's, it's helpful for our Eastern hemisphere listeners if you all the sand scritters Yes, sand skirt with the D like you said earlier All right, so you guys what's going on in the NASCAR race? I meant to no one's really given an update yet Fun fun can not I see that on the go fund me the donation that pushed you over the time Yeah, asking around people. Fun, fun, Tanna. I see that on the go fund me, the donation that pushed you over the top was made by one David Furnace, which kind of sounds like an inside job, don't you think?
Starting point is 01:13:56 When David Furnace? That's very generous of David Furnace. I appreciate that. All right, well, our next segment, and I'll include you, because I bet you guys are plugged into this, our next segment is going to be God Tube picks. So do you have anything you'd like us to look for
Starting point is 01:14:16 while we're there? God, like Job. God Tube. What is a God Tube? Just keep listening to the show and I guess we'll find out. Okay, we're all feeding tube. Well, but in terms of getting our picks, are you looking for like God tier YouTube videos or God related videos? No, these are videos you would find on GodTube.com. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:14:44 Well, probably a lot of Dr. Hulvent, I don't know, look for the pink suit. Maybe look for the ones where they talk about the way the bananas designed proves that something. I don't even remember, yeah. Hmm. Tasty. I don't know what you guys are talking about. It's okay, nobody knows.
Starting point is 01:15:06 That's okay. We'll stay tuned and then we'll find out. All right, well, I think the first hour 15 was probably the best one. And especially once we break into the blended Scotch whiskey here, it's going to, things might get a little weird. But we're having fun either way. There'll be more music, more God tube. I have some power rankings coming up.
Starting point is 01:15:24 So we've got a long show ahead of us. Stay safe, Quinn. there will be more music, more GodTube. I have some power rankings coming up so we got a long show ahead of us. Stay safe Quinn. Yeah, stay safe and stay safe. And we'll appreciate that. I'll see you next time. Alright, thanks next year. Thanks for calling guys. Okay, bye. Alright, bye. Those guys are crazy. I don't know how much blended Scotch whiskey they've had so far. We're almost done with our dunkin' here, although it's been surprisingly longevity, L-O-N-G-E-V-I-C-A-L,
Starting point is 01:15:58 Evangeline by Sir Walter Scott. Great poem. I don't really know what it's about. I think it's a tragedy. I think it's some woman gets burned at the steak or something. Burned at the steak. I'm gonna copyright that. It's gonna be a new comedy web series.
Starting point is 01:16:19 I'm gonna host where we do cooking. And our first episode, our pilot, if you will, take me to the pilot. It's going to be me over cooking a steak. I've never really cooked a steak before. So that should play well into how the show actually goes. Let's see here. Take me to the pilot. Sometimes when a song is just not going well, because they've never played it before, you got to learn when to walk away, and that's what I did. That's a valuable message here that I think you're going to find frequently, if you go to one of our new partner websites here, not Tulsi Gabbard for congress.com, but rather godtube.com. So let's go check it out.
Starting point is 01:17:29 If you're following along on your web browser, on your phone, whatever, be careful how you type because there are some tube websites there that are not god-oriented, go to godtube.com. I was turned on to this a couple days ago, really changed everything for me. I put some things into perspective. There's a God-tube app. It's labeled Lifestyle. We got some YouTube comments here, Evangeline Lilly from Ant-Man, Quantamania, of course, by Henry David Thoreau, who's not in that one, but you've got Jonathan Majors,
Starting point is 01:18:07 of course, who's Jonathan Majors is kind of doing a two-for-one punch if you will pun intended because he's of course the bad guy in Creed III. I think he plays Creed's cousin or something from the trailers. Michael B. Jordan is like cool. And Jonathan Majors is like, well, you don't remember me, bruh? So look out for Creed III, starring Jonathan Majors. I am the tiger. But God tube. Let's go ahead and check out.
Starting point is 01:19:13 There's a banner at the top. Says, read today's daily, invi-t-a spiritual. How's your- there's an ad. It says, how's your body warns you that liver disease is forming? And if you're watching our live stream here, there's a spooky hand. If that's what liver disease looks like, I don't want it, Facebook, YouTube,
Starting point is 01:19:34 audio stream, you guys are really missing out here. So we x out of the ad, okay, here's our devotional from God to a prayer to live with eternity in mind by Laura Bailey. It starts off with a Bible versus any good book or reading should a passage. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Epochlesiastes Epochlesiastes 3-11.
Starting point is 01:20:05 Eternity is a simple word by a complex concept. Charles Sturgeon once said, Spurgeon once said, time is short, eternity is long. It is only reasonable that this short life be lived in the light of eternity. Then there's an ad that says, early signs of liver damage from liver renew.
Starting point is 01:20:23 Back, we waited in line at the DMV for an eternity. These are bullet points. We think spring will never come. Winter has lasted for an eternity. We have a vacation plan for only a few weeks away, but it feels like an eternity on the calendar. These are great points, literal bullet points. How long is this?
Starting point is 01:20:41 Oh, it's not too bad. Okay, there's some more liver damage stuff. The reality is that as humans, we can't truly fathom eternity. We know that God has provided eternal life to those who trust in His Son, Jesus. But understanding the weight of eternity is beyond our comprehension. Recently, I've come across numerous sermon series, articles, and books encouraging believers to live with eternity in mind. But what exactly does that mean?
Starting point is 01:21:03 Paul encourages us in two Corinthians 418. So we don't look at the troubles we can see. Now rather we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we will see now will soon be gone. But the things we cannot see will last forever. Left parenthesis and LT right parenthesis. Period. Quote. Life in a fallen world is tough. There's no escaping the effects of sin in our lives. We can shift our perspective focusing on the things that matter to God, the eternal, and letting go of things that don't matter,
Starting point is 01:21:32 things of the world. As one of my favorite teachers says, preachers, preachers, preachers, preachers easy lives hard. What does that mean? Preaches easy lives hard, What does that mean? Preaches easy Lives hard, okay?
Starting point is 01:21:47 We're easily distracted, discouraged and disillusioned daily. It can be challenging to persevere, push forward in our faith and remain steadfast. The world's message is live your best life now, but God's word preaches. Your best life is yet to come and there's just some more of that And there's just some more of that. Laura Bailey is a Bible teacher who challenges and encourages women to dive deep in the scriptures, capital S, shift from an earthly to an eternal mindset and filter life to the lens of God's word. She's a wife and mom and a three young girls. She blogs. I'm not going to plug someone else's shit on my show.
Starting point is 01:22:22 Okay. The top video, the trending video today from God to must see 11 year olds house of the rising Sun blind audition turns all the judges in seconds. So this must be American Idol with the chairs. There is a house in new Orleans two Orleans and I'll go there soon. In the in the Oh God. Classic stuff from we already mentioned. Rolling Stones, E Street Band, all that stuff.
Starting point is 01:23:01 Hot Stones. Of course, from our hot couples' massages before we finished Daytona 500. So there's a lot more of that on godtube.com. Inspirational, it's tied, Kelsey Grammar tears up, discussing Jesus and Revolution on Ryan and Kelly, speaking of American Idol. Inspirational Jennifer Hudson sings, walk with me, Lord, do it with viral kid reporter, inspirational, baby born and rubble among earthquake survivors. So there's a lot of that good stuff.
Starting point is 01:23:40 Here's an ad, horse keeps hugging pregnant women when Dr. Looks at ultrasound, he calls the police. So it's not all, you know, push-in daisies on ABC with GodTube.com. There's liver damage, there's potentially horse impregnation and ultrasounds and police. What are the cops going to do if you're a doctor, if you're, you a, a obstetrician and you see in your ultrasound that there's a little horse growing inside someone, what are the cops supposed to do? Okay? Like, you're going to have a cool, half blood human horse baby, like Mr. Tumnus. Okay? I don't think you should call it cops. I think you should be applauded.
Starting point is 01:24:32 Let's see our YouTube comments saw that not sure what that one has to be with God. GodTube.com is a mystery much like the love of the Lord L-O-R-D and Guys, I'm gonna tell you right now. I need to go get an ice cube So we can get our blended Scotch whiskey here. I'm actually doing well on the bathroom. That's usually what derails or pledge I tell the fundraisers, I have to pee so bad. And I'm doing well, I dehydrated myself, you know, I got really drunk last night and then I haven't had any water since, so I'm good on the bathroom.
Starting point is 01:25:02 But let's, let's, and it's, we don't need like a full half time break, but I'm gonna step away from the mic and from the stream for about 10, 15 seconds while I grab a cube. But before that, let's play a nice hymn, hymn in hers, that's my Jesus morning show. I accept they need a female co-host, which is tough. Or it could dress up like the
Starting point is 01:25:25 church lady Dana Carvey. Okay. Ideas are in motion. I got to write these down. So let's play a little hymn for you. I haven't played a hymn in a while. And we'll take a 15 second break after that. I don't even know what hymn I'm'm gonna play. Let's just see what happens. ʃələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlələlə 1.5% 1.5% 1.5% 1.5% 1.5% 1.5% 1.5% 1.5%
Starting point is 01:26:48 1.5% 1.5% 1.5% 1.5% 1.5% It could have been worse. Alright, we're going to go get an ice cube. I don't usually have audio pauses, especially for our audio listeners. We're going to do that for about 15 seconds.
Starting point is 01:27:35 So if you're listening after the fact, go ahead and fast forward. We'll be right back. Got to get a cube. If Tulsi Gabbard calls, well, I'm gone. I'm going to be so pissed. Alright, we're back. Got the heat on. Can't hear a damp thing.
Starting point is 01:28:10 That's okay. Cube secured. We're going to pour it on with the glass resting on the bed. That's the confidence I have. And if it spills, we get to smell, I'm not actually going to do that. It's too risky. It's going to save it. Spills, we get to smell, I'm not actually gonna do that, it's too risky. It's gonna save it, spills, we get to dream of scotch every night.
Starting point is 01:28:30 Alright, that's good. We don't wanna get over served. It's the other tough thing, you know. We do this on a Sunday traditionally. And it's fun, you wanna celebrate, you wanna have some cool bebs. But it's also a work night, which is a total bummer. It's a one day weekend for us here at Bean Town Podcast. Had a long day work yesterday.
Starting point is 01:28:53 Our big admitted student event. I know if you're new to the Bean Town Podcast, you're probably out there thinking, gosh, Quinn, you're not making enough from the Bean Town Podcast. You've got to have another job. I say, yeah, I actually have three other jobs. What we might do in the future to make it work is just have a blood drive every day. And we say, let's do the charity on one day and then 364 days,
Starting point is 01:29:20 365 next year, 2024, leap year, will just, you all will fund me. 365 next year, 2024, leap year. We'll just you all will fund me. You could pay for my health insurance, Cobra, which I always wanted, because it sounds cool. And it kind of sounds like the, sort of, like the bad, the bad guy group and mission impossible, seven dead reckoning part one, I suppose. I still don't know what, what mission impossible six is called. Maybe Tulsi will know.
Starting point is 01:29:46 No one really knows. What mission these pants are so loose. All right, before we jump into our next segment here, let's do a little Trader Joe's blended Scotch Whis whiskey review for the listeners and for the watchers. And again, if you're just tuning in now, we got more stuff coming in. GF of the podcast on Facebook because I tuned in during a wild part. That doesn't really narrow it down very much.
Starting point is 01:30:21 Mission Impossible 6, fallout boy. Pete Wentz, of course, it is Fallout. I legitimately could not remember what it was called and it's actually my favorite. Let's call it my favorite action movie of all time. If you've never seen, if you're kind of turned off to the whole Tom Cruise thing after the Oprah interview or Katie Holmes or Magnolia, whatever,
Starting point is 01:30:44 you've never really got into the Mission Impossible series after Philipsy Morehoff and passed away and set of Mission Impossible 3. I'm imploring UIMP, LOR, ING to go watch Mission Impossible 6 fallout. It's got Tom Cruise. It's got Henry Cabel. That's a movie for you Marvel heads out there where he wouldn't shave his mustache while shooting Batman for Superman Dawn of Justice. So he's got the cool mustache.
Starting point is 01:31:21 It's got Angela Bassett, of course. And then our old favorites, like Simon Pegg, Ving Rames with an H, and probably some other guys too. I don't think Baldwin's in that one. It's got Sean Harris, is that his name? He was a bad guy, number five. He comes back for number six. It's got another old favorite Michelle McDonough or whatever her name is, McAnemarro who plays Ethan Hawks'
Starting point is 01:31:53 wife in the movie. So Mission Impossible 6 is amazing for a variety of reasons, but there's got two stunts that are just out of this world. Amazing. The one where Tom Cruise actually jumps from the airplane, and then the one where he actually flies the helicopter, it is badass, man. Because Tom Cruise actually learned to fly a helicopter, and he actually, you can watch the behind the scenes of when Tom jumps out of the plane and how they filmed and all this stuff.
Starting point is 01:32:21 Of course, there's a ton of post-production special effects they do to have the lightning storm storm but they actually did that. There's a camera guy who jumped out with him like I don't know just seeing and obviously you know everyone's talking about Top Gun 2 with the Oscars coming up in like two or three weeks here. So that's get us gets all the attention for the effects and stuff but Mission 6, just amazing in a similar vein. OK, our blended Scotch whiskey from Trader Joe's, it's pretty, I don't really have a palette for this kind of stuff.
Starting point is 01:32:57 It's pretty fine. I guess is how I would say. It tastes like whiskey, so that's good. say it tastes like whiskey so that's good. And I've read that they just buy up cheap whiskey and pour it into their bottles and slap a label on it which is pretty cool. Welcome back to the Bean Town podcast. This chair is very uncomfortable. Plug drive, Telethon fundraiser. We are raising money via GoFundMe. You can find it in all the social links, all that good stuff.

You can call the show at 815-298-7200 if you want to be live on air. It's always a great time. What have we done so far? I mean, we've had some musical numbers. We had
Starting point is 01:33:59 attribute to the late great Ethel Merment, of course. We've had our God Tube picks. We had a message from the ghost of Togo. We've had some Scott Joplin and stuff. We've been talking, of course, Tom Cruise. And for those of you who missed it, we are anxiously awaiting potentially a call from Tulsi Gabbard's office. J Fred Mugs is less likely for all those reasons we discussed, but hello to Pakistan. I know it's getting late for you guys out there like 1.32 o'clock in the morning almost.
Starting point is 01:34:28 So if you got to go to bed, you can watch the stream later on. I promise. And we're just now getting into the the alcohol cigarettes and alcohol. It was a great oasis song. It samples T Rex Bang a Gong. Sanger et Zanelka Hall. a maximum of ten seconds. But all I need was singer at the alcohol. You can waste a lifetime, spend your day in the sunshine. Mine is well you write lives, so when it comes on strong,
Starting point is 01:35:24 we're gonna make it happen. We're gonna do this at the end, but I figured the race is probably in full swing. We talked about it briefly earlier with some other collars. They weren't really experts in stock car auto racing, so I figured let's do our NASCAR check-in. We already did. We were reading some of the basketball scores from this weekend for the Northeastern conference
Starting point is 01:35:50 in the summit league. So I figured we'd check in. So Auto Club Speedway, the sprint cup race is happening today, actually, the nationwide or the Xfinity Series was supposed to be last night, but yet snowed out as you know, there's a big blizzard going through Southern California. And so that race is happening tonight, but they still have the Cup series race happening
Starting point is 01:36:13 right now. The live leader board you have Ross Chastain, Jessica's husband, I think, where on lap 48 out of 200 Ross is in first place Daniel Juarez. It's got that cool little line above the A, which is pretty, I think, you know, diverse in modern. Ryan Blaney in third and Baba Wallace is sixth. You got Chase Elliott, Golden Boy in eighth. Cory Lajoy, L-A-G, L-A-J-O-I-E in tenth.
Starting point is 01:36:43 We're just kind of naming the stars here. Ricky Stinkhouse, of course, won the Daytona 500. He's in 14th, A.D. Almonddinger, in 18th. You've got Malcolm McDowell in 20th, who, you know, he's done some acting and now he's doing some stock art, auto racing, kind of following that same Frankie Munez trajectory if you
Starting point is 01:37:05 always sort of start off your child actor Frankie of course from Malcolm in the Middle Malcolm McDowell best known for I think King Lear probably but now getting into racing which I think is pretty neat and you got to be kind of a little thin guy to make it work much like a horse jockey and of course Malcolm and Franky both are. You've got Halliburton in 25th. That's Lauren Cheney's company. You know what's her name? Liz Cheney's company. Finishing out here we got JJ Yelly in 31st Kyle Larson who's probably most well known for dropping the N-word on a live stream in last place at 36th. It's down 16 laps.
Starting point is 01:37:50 Not a good day for the Larsonator, if you will. So that's our quick NASCAR check-in. We're about a quarter of the way through that race out there in the West Coast at AutoClub Speedway in Fontana outside of Los Angeles. And of course, we'll continue to give you those updates because I know the bean heads out there, especially for those of you who are, maybe you have to choose between watching
Starting point is 01:38:13 our pledge drive telephone fundraiser or watching the AutoClub Speedway race. And I understand it's a very challenging choice for those of you to make. So I appreciate those of you who have decided to stick with us. That's sort of my promise. I So I appreciate those of you who have decided to stick with us. That's sort of my promise. I'm going to keep giving you those live updates on the NASCAR race,
Starting point is 01:38:29 of course, so that you're not like, oh, maybe we should check commercial break, that sort of thing. We don't really do commercial breaks here on the Telephone Pledge Ray fundraiser. We did an ad read, but you still got that same coin, that same kind of energy, that vivaciousness, that vigorous if you will, vigorous is a Pokemon. From Gen 3, the gym leader Norman, the normal gym is the fifth gym leader you must face in
Starting point is 01:39:03 Ruby Sapphire and Emerald. He is the father of the main character who you're playing as which is pretty cool and he will come at you with a couple different Pokemon. I'm thinking that like spindle kind of one. It's like a candy cane haunted bear if you will. And then he has a vigorousoth, which is the second, or the first evolution, the second in the line. I don't even know what the first one is called. It's kind of like a little slot. And then you have Slacking, L-S-L-A-K-I-N-G,
Starting point is 01:39:38 who is his main move is facade, F-A-C-A-D-E, which I definitely did not know how to say when I was a kid playing those games, but when you're slacking you're super powerful. This is for the sort of the Poke heads watching your stream, thanks for tuning in. Or the manga minds, if you will. He's got his ability is like true and see or something like that, or snoring, I don't know what it's called, basically you can attack one turn and then you got to take the next turn off. So it's actually pretty terrible in the grand scheme
Starting point is 01:40:08 of Pokemon, but it can be a pain in the ass if you're fighting Norman, this here's, you know, for all the, for all you beanheads there who may be playing Ruby Safar and Emerald for the first time, don't underestimate Norman. His gym lead or his, the trainers in his gym, not too bad. They have different specialty rooms, like accuracy room, speed room, defense room, attack room. They'll each have like one Pokemon
Starting point is 01:40:35 who best sort of symbolizes or represents those or us, if you will. But the Norman has just got those kind of normal ass boring Pokemon. But watch, don't underestimate that slacking. That thing will hit you hard. And you just got a game plan. Know that it's only going to be able to attack you every other turn. So if you could get away with like using Protect, for example, that would be a good strategy. That would be a good strategy. We're almost done with our dunk in here. And I got to say our audio stream, GarageBand,
Starting point is 01:41:12 has started giving me that look again. We've gotten through the show so far with only one cut out, which was a shame because this one we were talking ice age for all the ice heads out there. I need big fans of Ray Romano listening here, but otherwise we've been doing okay so we're gonna keep our eye on that. Let's jump back in here to the next segment here and just to give you a preview a taste of what's happening towards the end of the show. If we have time for activity at trivia we'll get there.
Starting point is 01:41:46 We've got a little expose we're going to do that I didn't prepare for that would be better if I did prepare. We've got trivia, of course, not activity at trivia, but there's separate trivia. We might push activity at trivia for later, like next week's episode or something like that, and we can make that a recurring segment. And it's already been a propitious show. We've introduced Paladrum of the Week. We've introduced on this date in history
Starting point is 01:42:10 or another date. Of course, we did our nice tribute to the late great Ethel Merman. So we've got some good new picks going on. If you're curious, you're thinking about, gosh, this has been a fun Pledge Drive Tullet on Fundraiser. It makes me think of older pledge drive to health on fundraisers from years past.
Starting point is 01:42:28 Gosh, I sure love those. Like, you know, Quinn, remind me of what, you know, what some of those prizes were. We had those stock certificates, which I think we're bringing back this year. Signed pictures, which have always been good. There's an autographed picture of me on my future in laws, Fred, which is pretty exciting.
Starting point is 01:42:45 We've got in our bag here, we've still got some, well, that's a business card. That doesn't necessarily relate to the bean town podcast or you go for Facebook. But then at the bottom, you'll see our bean town buttons. We've still got a bunch of bean town buttons, they say, I heart bean town on them. In addition to our great stickers,
Starting point is 01:43:03 which we showed off earlier in the show. So we've got a lot of great prizes. If you're ever in Chicago and you're thinking, gosh, I, I, you know, maybe you want another bean-town button, maybe you're sharing the gospel of bean-town with a friend. You can go ahead and pick one of those up. We'd be happy to give it out pro bono. That's sort of the charitable aspect of the show, Bean Town gives back. All right, next up, next feature here, one of the classic things we do on the Bean Town podcast that we're well known for, Power Rankings. So I came up with this idea a couple of days ago.
Starting point is 01:43:43 I was actually at a bar in Naperville getting ready to play some trivia. We didn't really talk about our trivia triumph. We had a brother and sister of the show, Jack and Nicole calling it a little bit earlier talking to us about West Virginia. Well, we played trivia together Wednesday night. We kicked ass. We won first prize. It was awesome. They got the Kurt Warner question, which I was most proud of. But before that, I was hanging out by myself at a bar doing some writing for the show, which is why this has been such a great quality production.
Starting point is 01:44:17 And I decided, you know what, let's do some power rankings. Let's not everything has to be related exactly to a telephone or a pledge drive fundraiser. Let's do power rankings. And this is something I think kind of the myth heads are going to appreciate, not the myth heads, but the myth heads. We're power ranking mythological places. Okay.
Starting point is 01:44:38 And I'm not even going to tell you how many do we have here? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Oh, perfect. Good preparation, Quinn. I haven't ranked these as I just have the list. And I'm going to be doing this live on air. So we're really kind of working together on this. I'm not going to tell you what our, what goes into or what the group is, what our 10 different items are. I think it'll be more fun to be surprised as you kind of see, oh, what, you know, what, what, what mythological places were deemed worthy of Quinn's research of his attention. When I say research, I mean, like, thinking in my head, oh, that's a mythological place I've heard of. So
Starting point is 01:45:20 that's sort of how we're going to approach this. We're going to start off with number 10. It's going to be the garden of the Eden, going to approach this. We're gonna start off with number 10. It's going to be the garden of the Eden, okay? Coming in, and it's not really to disparage. It's definitely an honor just to get to the list of 10, just to kind of make the tournament, if you will. But the garden of the Eden, here's the thing. It's pretty badass, it's pretty cool.
Starting point is 01:45:41 You can just walk around naked, but it's a little bit spooky, because here's the thing. Some things you gotta watch out for in the garden of Eden. And there's a lot of just kind of, well, there's a lot of things you gotta watch out. One snakes. Okay, I don't know about you,
Starting point is 01:45:58 but when I think of a nice garden, I think of fresh fruit and fresh vegetables, and maybe like a rabbit or something, but I don't want a snake. So or a serpent is even worse than a snake if we're getting technical. I don't want that. Second problem I have with the garden of Eden. There's this bomb-ass tree, the tree of wisdom, right? And it's like if you eat from it, then you can be really smart, which for trivia purposes, I think, would be really something I would personally be drawn to.
Starting point is 01:46:32 But you got this voice from above saying, oh, no, you can't do it. You can't eat, even though it's probably papaya. It wouldn't be a durian or, I don't know, mushrooms, grunt trees, but it would be I think kind of a Nice meat like those olive trees and I was talking about the Israelites speaking of garden of Eden But you can't eat it which is just a spillous stupid setup and Then the last thing you got to worry about
Starting point is 01:47:02 And it's like look here the outcome is you get a hot babe for a, you know, a partner, but you're at them, okay, you're sleeping, you're hanging out, you're in the garden of eating, it's a good time, you know, that you have the serpents, you can't eat the fruit from the one tree, whatever, like you can kind of work around that, but you wake up and one of your ribs is gone. And all of a sudden, you're like,
Starting point is 01:47:25 I only had two to start with. And so now I'm down to one. In your thinking, you know, this is gonna be a gateway surgery, right? So now that it's like, you know, God is like, oh, I took one rib from him to see what would happen. He's just fine.
Starting point is 01:47:42 Next up, you're gonna lose, dare I say a testicle. Next up, you're going to lose, dare I say, a testicle. Next up, you might lose one of your livers. Next up, your epiglottis is gone. And it's just, you know, like, kind of like how much can we take from you? Where you're still alive, you're still functioning. Because you know, God's a mad scientist up there. With his knowledge and stuff.
Starting point is 01:48:04 So it's just where, where's this stop? I guess the big there with his knowledge and stuff. So it's just where where's this stop I guess is the big problem with the Garden of Eden. So had to mention it you know in the beginning Genesis 1, 1 all that good stuff but it's got some some serious downsides you gotta watch out for. Okay next up on our list of 10 here we are going to go with Camelot. Okay, Quest for Camelot. You all probably saw the movie played the game growing up. Or maybe your big fan of Jack and Annie from the Magic Treehouse. One of those newer books, they go to Camelot, kind of a special edition, if you will. Here's the thing with
Starting point is 01:48:43 Camelot. It sounds pretty cool. You got Morgan Lafei, all sorts of mystical powers, and I'm guessing, you know, just like off the time I had, you know, you like this old badass, kind of old English, old with an E kind of thing. She's probably a total babe. But you gotta look at the downsides of Camelot too. Do you really, you're riding around and you have that heavy armor.
Starting point is 01:49:08 Arthur, you know, it's like, I don't know if he was actually that great of a guy. In terms of trying to like rise the ranks of the Knights with their own table, you're going to have to get past Lance a lot, you're going to have to get past Sir Garwin or Gawain of the Green Knight. You're going to have to get past whatever the name of that cool sort is sledgehammer Excalibur Peter Gabriel, so I'm just thinking like and you know those those old nights, you know They're I don't think they have like super nice stuff. I don't think there was you know indoor plumbing or Electricity even so you know the sun goes down and it's very dark, you know the winter in England. I think Or can wherever Camelot is and you're just working on like candles and stuff. So it's kind of like
Starting point is 01:49:53 Are you gonna lose your rib? overnight like you would in the garden if you didn't I don't think you have to worry about that But you do have to worry about like I don't know sleeping on hay probably Because I don't really think they slept at the round table. I think they just sort of like met there. So I don't know. And I'm not like a huge horse guy. So that's why Camelot comes in at number nine.
Starting point is 01:50:15 OK, coming in at number eight, we have Atlantis, which, of course, was invented by Walt Disney for his late or late 1990s early 2000s film Atlantis now You got to get there in a submarine Which is cool if you've seen hunt for our October, but it could also be tough like submarines can be very cramped You know, there's not a lot of like amenities. I don't really know what the indoor plumbing situation on a submarine would be, for example. You get to Atlantis itself.
Starting point is 01:50:51 It seems like a cool place, like an underwater city. But I will say I saw Atlantis once when I was like five or six and then I haven't seen it again. We had the Atlantis video game on Game Boy and I might have it on my little contraption over there. I haven't looked, but from what I remember, it was just kind of like inspired by maybe like Maya, Mayan, Incan, Aztecchi and Legends. And it seemed kind of cool, but I don't know, you know, I don't think it has like the drawbacks that we mentioned with Camelot and Eden, but I don't know if it was amazing either Probably some good like
Starting point is 01:51:31 Probably good like, you know shellfish and stuff, but outside of that I don't know if Atlantis has a ton going for it. Okay coming in at number seven the lost city of Z or the lost city of Z Of course discovered by Percy, bisk, bisk, Shelley. No, it's not that guy. We're just joking. Percy, someone, lost city of Z. If you don't know, it's in the Brazilian Amazon forest, YouTube. Walt says, you can discover Atlantis. While skin diving in the 70s game of life collect a fee of that $6,000. That's pretty good. Yeah, you can also get tornado struck. But lost
Starting point is 01:52:13 city of Zad. I don't really know what's going on there. And it's not a real place. So I don't think really anyone knows. But it's kind of like you you poll, know imagine you're deep in the jungle the Amazon You pull back these leaves There's two cans overhead you haven't seen the sun for days because the brush Above you is so high and you see this great golden city And it's it's the coolest part is it you it could be Z or it could be Zed because if you're British it's Zed But if you're you know Anyone else including sand this great. It would just be Zed, because if you're British, it's Zed. But if you're, you know, anyone else, including Sandless Creative, just BZ. So rest in peace to Percy, Portrayed with great aplomb by
Starting point is 01:52:54 Charlie Hanum, of course, in the 2017 film, Lost City of Zed, Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland, all that good stuff coming in at number six. We have Shangri-La Which is from Tibetan myth and I don't really know anything about it So I didn't really research. I feel like everyone's talking about Shangri-La all the time But no one really knows what's happening there, but here's what I know of Tibet It's probably gonna to be a high mountain somewhere. I'm thinking some mystical fog. I'm really imagining where Bruce Wayne Christian
Starting point is 01:53:32 Bale meets Liam Neeson in Batman Begins 2005 Jonathan Nolan of course wrote the screenplay Christopher Nolan directed. That's really what I'm thinking, like a snowy, a snow capped paradise. But again, you kind of go back to the Camelot issue, which is like, you know, what are the amenities going to be like? And then I worry too, like, what are you really going to be eating at a place like that? Because you think of Shangri-La just by name,
Starting point is 01:54:01 you're like, Bountiful fruits and mangoes and Cornish game hands and stuff but then in reality you look at Tibet You know, it's like 30 miles above sea level and all of a sudden you're like there how many How many mammals really you know juicy plump Meaty mammals could you actually find up there? You know, that's not you know, just like a tiny little mouse or something, like a forest or a mountain mouse. So you're probably gonna end up eating a lot of like juniper berries and rocks.
Starting point is 01:54:31 And I don't know, so it's Shangri-La, I think is one of those places, like you go to an all-inclusive resort, into bet, but also my Punta-Kana, my in Riviera, all kind of one area. And it's like, this is great, I'm having a good time, but the food kind of sucks. So that's really my worry with Shangri-La.
Starting point is 01:54:52 Although it's fun to say as well, it's got a hyphen, like, that's the hyphen I think is what got it from like, eight, nine to six, which is pretty good. Okay, so we've, so far at number 10, Garden of Eden, number nine, Camelot, number 8, Atlantis, number 7, Laudciti of Zed, 6, Shangri-La. All right, now things are getting tough.
Starting point is 01:55:13 We go to number 5, and this might be a little bit controversial, but I'm gonna put Mount Olympus at number 5. The first thing it has going for it is it's a really fun water park is well from what I've heard. Now, we were never well off enough, well endowed enough, if you will, to afford Mount Olympus. We always went to a kind of like a little mermaid Atlantis themed park and we stayed at the Icono King, which was across the parking lot from it. So I've never done the whole Noah's Ark, the whole Calahari, the whole Mount Olympus scene, but I think it would be pretty fun.
Starting point is 01:55:48 On top of that, it's a top of badass mountain in Greece, which we've already talked about the olives a couple times. That would be nice to have. Other things that they eat at Mount Olympus, the nectar of the gods, which is something. It's kind of like, it's good. Okay, it's maybe this Dunkin' that we're almost done with. It might be our Trader Joe's blended scotch whiskey.
Starting point is 01:56:16 It's got some cool name like, Ambrosea. I think that's what they call the nectar of the gods. So yeah, it'd be cool to drink that. Downsides with Mount Olympus number one obvious altitude sickness your way up there. You're in the clouds You're back in like ancient times. I didn't think they really had like Pills and stuff to help with altitude sickness. So that would be a kind of a glaring issue, if you will. Another thing, it kind of seems like those gods and Mount Olympus, they kind of had like big heads,
Starting point is 01:56:51 not literally per se, but like Zeus seems like he was just kind of like, I'm gonna do whatever I want, like bang you, bang you, bang you, maybe it'll be Hera, maybe it won't, and if it's not, she's gonna be pissy. And then you gotta worry about like Hephaestus with his fireballs and and Mars is always wanting to fight and stuff and then you got you know Demeter and Hestia and Artemis in Apollo it's like okay you guys are twins but are you also like you you know, Alabama twins
Starting point is 01:57:25 or what? So I think there's just a lot of personalities up on Mount Olympus. And for me, is someone who like, I like stuff, I like, I like to have fun, but I'm also kind of an introvert. I just don't know if I would enjoy that much. And you know, you don't really know anything about like the amenities, like the facilities at Mount Olympus. You know, like is there indoor plumbing, what's the lighting situation? You think you'd probably get sick of Ambrosia after a while. So just things that I've thought about, but that's Mount Olympus number five.
Starting point is 01:57:58 Okay, gosh, we are getting down there. Coming in at number four, we have got, oh, this is tough decisions here. Let's just stay on theme here, and let's go north of the border a little bit. Let's go with Asgard slash Valhalla. And, excuse me, and I had to really kind of do a Google search to figure out the difference between Asgard and Valhalla.
Starting point is 01:58:21 Turns out Asgard is just the general place in Valhalla is like one of the specific halls So this of course is in Norse, Nordic myth Somewhere up there in Norway, I don't know But you've got gods like Wolden, you got Thor, you got Loki, you got other ones that I don't know But I think it'd be cool because one, they probably do like caribou hunting or reindeer hunting, which I feel it would be fun.
Starting point is 01:58:53 You might get some good like dog sled action up there. I know that's more of like an Alaska thing, but you feel like Togo would fit in well up there. Other nice things, a lot of times those people in Scandinavia have the cool walnut sweaters and I never really have a really legit one and I think that would be nice. Oftentimes they're super expensive,
Starting point is 01:59:11 but I bet if you're up there, it cuts down on shipping costs. I always wanted to wake up in the morning to a view of a fjord. And I bet, I don't know exactly how high in the clouds, Valhalla is. I don't know if it's higher than, you know, Shangri-La, for example, or Mount Olympus, but I bet you, you know, or like if you had a good like a telescope or something,
Starting point is 01:59:38 you know, like a Hubble telescope, you could probably see a fjord FJORD. Call your local fjord dealership for a hot discount on a Nissan Pathfinder. So that's really number three. Asgard and Valhalla. We got, or that's number four, Asgard and Valhalla. We got three left here. I'm looking at my notes here to make sure I don't forget anything. Okay, here we go. Eldorado. Another great Disney film with soundtrack by... Sir Elton John. Do we know any...
Starting point is 02:00:13 Elton John, Eldorado, wrote to Eldorado songs? Yeah, but I can't really, they don't really translate well to the impromptu kind of piano thing, do they? Two. And then I'm eventually of a 16th century man. Basically, if you've never seen Road to Elder Rados, these two Spaniards who sneak onto the Cortez expedition boat, I don't know if that was the Nena, the the Minta or the Maria or the Santa Pignata, that's not right, but it's just sort of the Scotch whiskey taken over here.
Starting point is 02:00:48 But they go find El Dorado. So you got Montezuma of course, who lives at the top of El Dorado. One kind of crazy thing about Road to El Dorado and this is a kids program, this is not a kids program, which is why I can share this. There's a scene a well-known kind of internet meme now
Starting point is 02:01:07 where there's this kind of young princess who may or may not be under age. I don't know, these are the creative choices that Walt Disney made in his 2003 film, Roe to Eldorado. But there's a scene where like one of the guys, the blonde guy is totally getting a BJ from this girl and someone like walks in the guys, the blonde guy, is totally getting a B.J. from this girl and someone like walks in the door and like they both lift their heads
Starting point is 02:01:29 up and you can kind of see like where her head is versus his head and it's just like, you guys thought you were going to be sneaky but you totally weren't. Not to mention the like, penises that they have in Little Mermaid, I think it's like the throne of King Neptune or something speaking of a kind of king. There is a bunch of like phallic shapes. So I don't really know what Walt Disney was really going for with that. With all that in mind, if you got unlimited gold, you got, you know, Montezuma's revenge, I bet they have good like, you know, chorizo or taco salads salads and those other things that we've mentioned. If that's all going on in El Dorado and in Elton John's soundtrack to boot, that's enough
Starting point is 02:02:13 for me to put it at number three. Coming in at number two is Nirvana. Let's see. Let's see what we can do here. What else could I say? Everyone was gay. All apologies. All alone is all we are. All alone is all we are. Coming in at number two is Nirvana, Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, the other guy, classic trio.
Starting point is 02:03:06 Nirvana, of course, is sort of the Hindu place you go when you do a really good job. Of course, there's a lot of incarnations in Carnation in bloom The kids go He's the one and I hold up any songs Any life to sing along any likes to But he know now what it means It just seems very like I think Nirvana is for me like when I have like an edible and a glass of whiskey and I'm just sitting there like watching
Starting point is 02:03:51 cutthroat kitchen or something. And my eyes are getting a little dried out and maybe tomorrow is Friday so I get to work from home. And it's just kind of like, you're just sort of sitting there. Maybe with the heater on your legs And you had a really good like chili dinner or something That's basically Nirvana so that's coming in at number two and the number one You might you might give me some flack because of the state is located but the fountain of youth is number one
Starting point is 02:04:22 because of the state it's located. But the fountain of youth is number one. Here's the thing. I'm not afraid of growing old. I'm not afraid of my age. I'm proud of my wrinkles. I've seen it all. I'm battle tested. I'm battle-born.
Starting point is 02:04:34 Up against the wall, something on in on the streets when they knock you down. You're going to get back on your feet. The killers. Baleaborn. And you can't stop now. But, found some of youth, I feel like, you know, much like they did in Stone Mountain, Alabama, you could build a gate around it, you could monetize it, and you'll get all sorts of people who are going to pay you money for eternal youth. Just like those, what are the French twins? You guys know these French twins.
Starting point is 02:05:14 We actually want to get the name right here because these guys are crazy with their Botox and their plastic surgery, these guys are absolutely crazy and I guarantee they're super rich. Oh, these guys died. I didn't even know that they died. Gritchka and Igor Bogdenoff. I don't know if they were, yeah, they were French twins. They both died at 72, which makes sense because they were twins. They died in about a year ago of COVID because they refused the vaccines. If you don't know the Bogdan off twins, do a quick Google search, but be prepared to look away quickly because these guys are spook level midnight.
Starting point is 02:05:59 But my point being, they would definitely come down to Florida for the fountain of youth. It's just, I imagine it's kind of like this big like Buckingham fountain, Chicago and Grant Park, kind of looking thing. And the best part is, you know, there's not that many fountains, I feel like where you can just, it's socially acceptable to sort of splash around. Oftentimes, you can throw pennies in there. There's always a fountain at the Linos, an East State Street in Rockford, where, where you throw a penny in there, you make a wish,
Starting point is 02:06:27 not Penny's boat for all the lost heads out there. But you don't, it's not really acceptable to show up in your swim trunks and splash around, to splash or to splash or both. That's sort of what I think you could do in the fountain of youth. I don't think you really drink it as much as it sort of just absorbs into your skin like a hot spring.
Starting point is 02:06:53 And I think that would just be a lot of fun. So that's why fountain of youth comes in at number one. You don't really have to worry about the amenities so much. It's Florida, it's going to be warm. It's it's portable water, P O T A B L E. You know, I don't think you'd want to like urinate directly into the fountain, but it's sort of one of those things where like you go to the public pool and everyone's doing it. And you know, it dilutes so much so much chlorine. I don't know if the fountain of
Starting point is 02:07:21 youth is chlorinated. I have to research that. But it just seems like you don't really have to worry about like indoor plumbing or showers, right? Because you just scrub down on the fountain. I think it has like a self-cleaning tank, like you'd find in the dentist office in Fine Nimo. So yeah, still waiting on the Ponce de Leon movie from Seinfeld, of course. I would watch that one too. So here's our power rankings of mythological places from 10 to 1, Garden of Eden at 10, number 9, Camelot, number 8, Atlantis, number 7, Lost City of Zed, number 6, Shangri-La, number 5, Mount Olympus, number 4, Asgard Slashfall, Hollis sort of a two for one daily double there. Number three,
Starting point is 02:08:06 El Dorado number two, Nirvana number one, fountain of youth. There we go. We are two hours and nine minutes into the show here. And we are officially taking our last sip of what was a very clutch Duncan Donuts ice coffee for $2. of what was a very clutch Duncan Donuts ice coffee for two dollars All right, what we're gonna do next on the show we're gonna play a song Just to you know kind of mix things up here then we got some trivia
Starting point is 02:08:41 And I'll be honest with you guys were winding down. I know that's hard to believe it feels like Ash Quinn You just started like Ethel and Rimmer just ended But we're actually getting to the end of our show here. This is turning out to be one of, if not the longest bean-town podcasts of all time. But we're having a good time. I've enjoyed myself. I do have to pee. We're getting to that time, which is usually
Starting point is 02:09:01 when the bell tolls for thee, if you will. As a reminder, you can call us live into the show 815298 7200. If you want to make a pledge, if you want to donate, if you want to be featured live on air, we got all that stuff going for you. And as we wind down here, I thought I would play, one of my favorites got Joplin Toons. It's sort of got a story behind it, but I'm not going to tell it because I don't know
Starting point is 02:09:26 the story. But it reminds me of when my brother, the podcast, Jack Ferness, used to live near the titular place, which is a fun word to say titular, much like that lady in El Dorado. It's called the Wall Street Rage and this is how it goes. I will cut out the repeats so we can keep things moving. 1.5% 1.5% So there you go, there's your Wall Street Rang. How was everyone? How are everyone's stocks doing? You got your ETFs, your cryptos, your mutual funds, your options? I don't really know what an option is. If anyone wants to let us know what an option is, maybe we'll ask Matt Fieler on our taxes special
Starting point is 02:12:42 in a couple months here. It's going to be exciting. Speaking of taxes special, just some house keeping things to watch out for. As we move right along through your six of Quinn David, for instance, the Bean Town podcast. Of course, in March, we have our St. Patrick's Day special. We have our birthday episode. We got both those coming up in just a couple weeks here, which is exciting. We will have our taxes special. That's usually like early April. We might dip our toes into the Oscar special again this year. We've been off movies for a little while, but it's something I'd be interested in getting back in. Two camels back to host a third times a charm
Starting point is 02:13:29 So that could be good and then we've got April into April showers bring May horses. We've got our Sixth annual top 10 horse name special coming up in May always do that Kentucky Derby weekend which I think is the first Sunday or said Derby on a Saturday or Sunday. I can't remember. I think it's a Saturday. But anyways, first weekend in May perhaps, although I have no idea.
Starting point is 02:13:54 I'm not sure. Maybe brother of the other brother of the show Walt Furnace should go down to Kentucky Derby this year since he lives around those parts these days. All right, you can bring your Mr. Ed signs or something like that. So those are some shows we've got coming up here on your six of the Bean Tom Podcasts.
Starting point is 02:14:15 As we get ready for summer, spring break, all that good stuff that's gonna be exciting. All right, trivia. It is trivia time. And of course, we are live streaming on Facebook, hello Facebook on YouTube. If I had another phone or something, I would have done an Instagram live as well.
Starting point is 02:14:33 But video conferencing has become a big thing since the pandemic. And so we are doing video conferencing trivia today for our special trivia question, which I've done a good job of in your six so far consistently bringing the trivia each, each episode here. So here we go. There's going to be the question and then a bonus question. Okay, so here we go. Okay, so here we go. Video conferencing trivia. It's not the most elegant or graceful question, but I don't I don't think it's terrible. Well, we'll just see how it goes. All right, here we go. On April 7th,
Starting point is 02:15:19 1927, this man's Telephone Laboratories created a working TV communication complex. It broadcasted a live moving image of the US Commerce Secretary from the White House to a hotel in New York, a distance of 200 miles. Viewers in the New York auditorium could see the secretary, but he could not see them. And so the answer or the one I'm looking for is who's laboratory came up with this. And then the bonus is going to be if you can name the commerce secretary, whose own future fiscal policies as president would come under much scrutiny.
Starting point is 02:16:01 So again, primary answer we're looking for is who's laboratories broadcasted the first semi-functional video conference and then the bonus is who was the subject of that video conference, the at the time the acting or the current commerce secretary of the United States who would go on to become president and come under much scrutiny for his own financial fiscal policies, if you will. So if you're listening on the audio stream, you're doing a playback, you want more time to think to ponder to ruminate, you are welcome to do that. But we're going to go ahead and move on with our answer here. It is Alexander Bell, who was a big telephone guy 100 years ago,
Starting point is 02:16:47 and then got going with AT&T. So it was the AT&T laboratory, Alexander Bell. And then who was the commerce secretary? It was none other than our critically acclaimed former president Herbert Hoover. Probably in all time, at least top five Herbert, I would think, we could do a Herbert power rankings later
Starting point is 02:17:12 that's another show. But yes, Herbert Hoover, the Commerce Secretary. So essentially, Bell learned how to broadcast Herbert live stream, much like you're seeing on YouTube and on Facebook. And these people in New York auditorium could see him. And I think hear him as well, but he could not see or hear them. So it was kind of like a one-way video conference. It wasn't, it's not like the first Zoom call or anything like that. We're not quite that far into history at that point, but he, uh, they could see what
Starting point is 02:17:49 he was doing live, which is pretty cool, like a live show. Much like, much like how I can see all, or you can see all of me, you can hear me, but I can't see your beautiful faces. We do have one of the most, I think, just attractive listener bases out of all the podcast. The bean heads, of course, don't let those titles deter you. Bean heads are beautiful. They're lovely, wonderful people. They've got hearts of gold, much like El Dorado.
Starting point is 02:18:16 And thank you all for listening. As again, this is last call for our phone calls, if you will. 815-298-7200200 you can call the show to be featured live in area you can make your donation but more importantly thank you to all who have tuned in to be part of our show thank you to those of you who had made donations I know the united way of Metro Chicago is going to really appreciate the support you've offered through this show and I'm very appreciative as well. And I think it's appropriate as we start to wrap up here. It's about 420 in the afternoon.
Starting point is 02:18:49 The sun is not quite setting up, but sort of getting into that low point in the sky. I might go for a little walk after this. There's been some good walks that have been mentioned, snow-shoeing, interriving through West Virginia. So I went for one walk earlier to get my dunk in, but otherwise I've been sedimentary. I was on the exercise bike and stuff, but it might be nice to get some steps in.
Starting point is 02:19:12 So let's do a couple more things here. Let's do our NASCAR check in to see how we're doing. For those of you who have chosen to watch our Plus drive over the big auto- club speedway race today. We're at lap 86 out of 200 Joey Logano and first, Danny Hamlin is second. Ross Chastain and third William Byron, oh Billy Byron is the number fourth. I think this is Kyle Busch, number five, but there's two K-bushes, so I don't know. I think Kurt has retired though.
Starting point is 02:19:42 And then bringing up the rear is still Kyle Larson, who is 16 laps down. So, that's NASCAR. That's our check-in for today. The last thing we want to do here before we get to our closing song, oh, we've got another call. A repeat caller, which we love here on the show. Beentown podcast, six annual pledge drive telephone fundraiser, what's going on? How are you? Oh, hey, I was just trying to see what the voice note was. All right, you can call back.
Starting point is 02:20:15 Well, since I got Johnny, I wanted to say that was an amazing trivia question that far and past, really. Yeah, how'd you do? Oh, I got that all, but I had no idea about the secretary of commerce. I although I think maybe you only said the year at the beginning and I kind of forgot what year you said that might have felt. But I was thinking like a couple decades later. 1927. That's crazy.
Starting point is 02:20:43 Wow. Well, nice one. 1927. That's crazy. Wow. Well, nice one. I don't know how you dug that up, but that was pretty good. I didn't even have to research it. That was just, let me just write down the thoughts in my head. Oh, yeah, I'm sure. You know, the one thing that didn't make the power rankings for
Starting point is 02:21:02 mythological places that maybe the matrix be on there to say it. Yeah, I've only I only saw that one once and I never saw revolutions and I heard the new one was kind of let down and you know, carry in Moss and I can get in a tiff one time on Twitter. So no. Oh, well, I don't know what your Pakistan listeners will think about your shangolot. Oh there's a good Pakistani Person of that. Well, I can't I can't read it. It's an Urdu
Starting point is 02:21:35 Well, I guess you got until next year to figure that one out. Yeah, all right feel free to call back if you'd like Okay, thank you. All right. Bye if you'd like. All right, bye. Bye. The last thing I wanted to do, I promised this once or twice, but it would be helpful if I did some research. But I just got to call her out. We mentioned we were taking down the Canine Archi earlier.
Starting point is 02:21:56 We also mentioned we were taking down the Matri Archi. So Mother Teresa, this one's for you. I'm calling you out. If you're listening to Albania. Shut your ears now. That's just brother to podcast Walt Fernis, come back for his voicemail message. Mother Teresa, well regarded, well world renowned from Albania.
Starting point is 02:22:17 She was a Catholic nun who went to India, kind of took down the caste system, is beloved worldwide, not in this room, but worldwide for those ringtones, just keep going. For her humanitarian, her charitable work. And I got to take her down a couple pegs. She was kind of a crazy fundamentalist. And it turns out the nuns. She was kind of a crazy fundamentalist and it turns out the nuns who she was employing to kind of take care of these sick and indigent, not really trained.
Starting point is 02:22:53 And look, I can come on here all I want. I can say I'm a, you know, an unregistered nurse. Ha, ha, ha, it's funny. I'm not going out there. I'm not removing people's ribs, okay? Like a certain god tube founder. I'm not doing tracheectomies, okay? I can laugh about it. I can joke about it. Should I get a Nobel Peace Prize, a humanitarian award, a purple heart for my, the comedy, maybe. It's not really me to say. But what I shouldn't do is pretend I know what I'm doing without the proper medical credentials. Go out into these, you know, this whole white savior thing. Go into these communities down in the Indian subcontinent and just be like, oh, now we're
Starting point is 02:23:36 going to take care of you. So Mother Teresa, kind of a crazy, religious, fundamental, no medical training whatsoever, and you're just doing operations. So not cool, Mother Teresa calling you out. I think we should definitely at least remove her st. hood. You know, I think if we were going to take down the Balthow statue in Central Park, we could take down the Mother Teresa statue in Tirana, T-I-R-A-N-A, Albanian capital. And look, I don't care if I get blacklisted from the Albanians. Although I bet the Pakistanis are eating this
Starting point is 02:24:14 up. They're asleep, unfortunately. I'm gonna get blacklisted by the Catholic Church and very powerful people. But I just got, you know, here's my thing with injustices. I got to call them out. And if that makes me unpopular, if that makes me a bad guy, if that makes me oh, you put, you put, you push the envelope too far. First, you go after the, you know, evangelines and they're, you know, walking around Jericho seven times and then you go after the Catholics, who's next? When are you going to take down the Roman orthodoxes next time, okay? So what did we, what did we learn today? We are going to do activity at trivia next time on the bean-town podcast.
Starting point is 02:25:09 I think that's going to be good. Let's put our feet up here. So what did we learn today on the bean-town podcast? Well, Ross Chessine is in first currently in Lab 86 that Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. We learned that according to the callers, the listeners we have hit our fundraiser goal, which is absolutely spectacular.
Starting point is 02:25:31 Thank you all for your part that you've played in that. I couldn't be happier, I couldn't be more proud. We have learned that wheeling West Virginia is open for business or not wheeling but the suburbs of wheeling West Virginia is open for business or not wheeling but the suburbs suburbs of wheeling West Virginia. Jesus have suburbia green day. I don't know how that one goes. And until I turn it in, in, in, in, but I think YouTube would like smite us. They're copyright stuff. We learned that was Virginia's Open for Business
Starting point is 02:26:29 and it's a beautiful state. We learned New Jersey has wide lanes. We learned, Rogue Nation was the fifth mission of possible and Fallout was the sixth mission of possible, Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny, the fifth one in the series, John Williams last scored film potentially. We learned that I can literally decide to do Ethel Merman-Karyoke,
Starting point is 02:26:52 five minutes before a show starts and just nail it, okay? We learned that I'm not good at trying to take me to the pilot from Elton John, which might be on, I don't know what Hubble and that's on. I'm not good at trying to take me to the pilot from Elton John, which might be on, I don't know what help them, that's on, Caribou maybe, not sure. I think my music knowledge and references and abilities on the piano have been well displayed today, but take me to the pilot with a dud.
Starting point is 02:27:21 We've learned that we got stickers for our donators. We got buttons, we got business cards. We haven't learned anything about potential relationships with airlines and their lounges and, you know, Tope as a league club, but we're still working. We learned that Mother Teresa was a total SOB. We learned that Balto was a total bastard, loop-in, loop-inatic, if you will. We learned that this chair is not good for like a two and a half hour show. So, noted for next year.
Starting point is 02:27:55 And we learned that the Trader Joe's blended Scotch whiskey, not great, not terrible, okay? You know I'm gonna turn on the second half of that and ask her race and just drift into Monday morning. So that's what we had for you guys. Thank you all so much for listening to NF hours. That's about as far as I can stretch the envelope. We're gonna in the next couple of weeks here, no promises on exact timelines, but first we're gonna vote in the Chicago mayoral election.
Starting point is 02:28:25 You can't really see them. I got my ballot back there. But more importantly, we're going to be sending out our stickers, all of our donor tier prizes and stuff that's going to be great. Oh, we learned some new mythological places. We learned about Palin Drone. So, that's what we did on the show today. It was a lot of fun.
Starting point is 02:28:43 I had a great time. It really was. It's been 2 and 1 half hours, which is crazy. But I really enjoyed myself. And whether you were here for 30 seconds, or you're here for two hours, thank you so much, regardless for tuning in. It's been a lot of fun, hopefully for everyone. I don't think we offended too many people
Starting point is 02:29:03 other than the baltoo heads the Catholics the non-Catholic Christians It's pretty much it we haven't been that derogatory maybe the Philistines, but here we go To close us out Of course our classic entry exit song if it's not broke, don't fix it. This is me signing off. After I finish up, we're going to cut the streams and stuff. Everyone, we'll be back next week for another great episode. We get into March, my favorite month.
