just read the title [e-mail]

Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David furnace. Welcome to my show Quinn David furnace presents the bean town podcast for Sunday June 14th 2020. What's going on? How are you? What's happening? What's good? What's the news? Like Huey Lewis on the news. What a guy. Huey Lewis retire from performing. I tell you what, man, if you ever want just like a shot of late 80s, early 90s, injected directly into your veins, go on to youtube.com. That's youtube. www.nope.

www.nope.com and find Huey Lewis doing hip-to-be-square live when Dwight Clark and the San Francisco 49ers come out at the end to sing you you know, the kind of the closing refrain. And then Dwight Clark starts singing and he's got a killer voice like this guy could have been a, you know, forget the catch. She should have been lead singer for Aero Smith or something.

I tell you what man, that's a, that's a great video. They're all wearing the sunglasses, kind of got like a Blues Brothers vibe. Man, that's good. That's good stuff. Go check it out. Pause this podcast and go listen to Huey Lewis and Dwight Clark sing, Hip to Be Square.

I don't know the year, probably like 1991 or something, but it's good stuff. It is very good stuff. This is my show, and we're coming to you live from the north side of Chicago where it is beautiful and breezy. It's about 65 degrees out. It's kind of been that way the past couple of days, and I tell you what, I'm not complaining, man. I love it, because you can kind of, you can keep your windows open, you get nice cross breezes going on, you can go walk outside,

pretty much where shorts and a t-shirt as long as you're moving, you feel good. If you want to go hang out by the lake, you know, you throw on a sweater or something and lie out on your blanket, it feels delish. I did that for a little bit on Thursday night and it was awesome. You know, you got, you got to take advantage and that's, that's the thing about Chicago, you know, everyone's talking about, hey, Lakefronts closed. Laurie's really stifling our summers, but hey, you come up here to the North side of Chicago,

Loyola Beach, you know, anything from Pratt up to about two-way there. That half mile stretch there is just a gold mine. The lake is completely open. And it's not even just like, oh, the green space is open. The beach is completely open. And it's not even just like, oh, the green space is open. The beach is physically open. People just, we were out there last weekend or the weekend before. I think it was last weekend.

And it was a hot, it was a pretty hot day. And people were just out there swimming. Which looks pretty cold, frankly, because if you've never been in Lake Michigan, here's a thing that they don't tell you. It doesn't really get warm enough to go in until about late August, and it's warm enough for about two weeks

before you get to some sort of polar vortex that rolls in over the Great Lakes region. I love the term Great Lakes region. I don't know. What are your hits and misses in the Great Lakes region? Because I'm thinking, you know, so in terms of states, we're talking Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York, right?

Great Lakes region. Basically from like Minneapolis over to Buffalo. Pretty much what we're dealing with here. This is interesting. I got a lot of cities here. I like a lot of ones. I don't really like. I mean, I'm a big Chicago fan and a huge of cities here. I like a lot of ones. I don't really like. I mean, I'm a big Chicago fan and

Huge twin cities fan and I like them a walkie quite a bit But then you got you got like Cleveland gross Gary gross Detroit. I actually like But Detroit didn't in and of itself as some hits and misses. And then I've never been to Buffalo. So I can't really say too much about it. But I don't, you know, Lake Ontario in general, I'm just, I'm kind of, you know, it's like the little, it's like the little brother that's always trying to tag along and play with you. Kind of like

me. I guess if I was a great lake, I'd be lake Ontario. Although I kind of feel like I'd be like superior too, because I'm just big, a big guy. I don't know. Here's a question for you. Is St. Louis part of the Great Lakes region? Because I think you'll talk to a lot of people who'll be like, yeah, St. Louis, Great Lakes region,

you know, you got the beer, brewing going, you got the great water, all that stuff. But then you look at it on a map and it's like, it's not really Great Lakes region, plus St. Louis kind of blows. I don't know if we've ever talked about this on the show. I don't think I've ever done a podcast from St. Louis before, but St. Louis is not one of my favorite places.

I think it's woefully overrated by the people who talk about all the great things there are to do. What St. Louis feels like when people are talking about how great it is, it's like the people who think St. Louis is great are the people who've literally never been to any other city in their lifetime. Because you go to St. Louis and then even just like in its own little Geosystem you go over to Kansas City or you go down to Memphis. I'm not even including Chicago. Chicago puts all these places in shame, but literally you just take like St. Louis Memphis Shikago, Shikago puts all these places in shame, but literally you just take like St. Louis Memphis, Kansas City, and I mean, hey, I'll even throw in Wichita. You take those places and it's like,

hey, St. Louis kind of blows. It blows a lot. It blows a lot. Yeah, I mean, it's just like, what did, I don't, they got nothing going for him. Bad, I was about to swear, I should mention, listen to discretion is advised when you're listening to this show. Number one, will occasionally swear. Especially on our talks about St. Louis, I mean, let's get real here. And number two, podcasts is objectively terrible. And if you couldn't tell already, we're seven minutes in. And I came in with no agenda today. But while I'm on a roll, let me say that, St. Louis, you got

shitty beer, right? We're talking Bush light, basically. And then you got Cardinals fans who are just, they're just a little bit too, too full of themselves. Like, tone it down a little bit. At least with, you know, like, another fan base, I really don't like Milwaukee Brewer's fans, but I just don't like them. Because they're behind the Cheddar curtain and they're kind of, you know, they've stuck with their man Ryan Braun, exposed cheater. But beyond that, they're good people and they're not overly Aryan cocky. They just want their team to do well.

You go down to Bush Stadium and Carnal's fans are just, there is this air of smugness that surrounds that entire city in a cloud of darkness. And I am very glad that the Rams got out of there, you know, five years ago when they did. And hopefully Jeff Fisher moved away too, because those fans don't deserve a football team. Maybe we could give them like a,

like a single baseball team equivalent of like Frisbee golf. And let them, you know, rent out that Edward Jones dome and put something in there. But, you know, you know, in St. Louis, I mean, you got Wash U, which is kind of nice. But you have to hold trolley system that just runs on like the one street and It's embarrassing. I mean you ever go down I don't even remember the name of the street that it's on I don't like the the Western part of the city out there by you know

Wash you and what Clayton is that the name of this the the next city over I don't remember but Clayton, is that the name of the next city over? I don't remember. But you just got this trolley, and it just runs in a straight line on the street. But it movesey, or if you have literally anything with wheels, healy's included, you're outpacing that trolley. It's like, it's like the Bachelorette parties in Nashville and Scottsdale, you get the trolley, you know, the drinking trolley, you know,

sometimes you get those fun ones where they like let the people pedal and it doesn't do shit, but it's fun to have anyways. It's like one of those drinking trolleys, but no alcohol allowed. It's basically how this trolley works in St. Louis, and then you just got buses. Then he had some serious racial segregation issues. But because it's Missouri, you know, not really that interested in addressing the issues, what a waste of a great American river, the Mississippi River, not to mention, here's

a question for you. The Mississippi River inter or is float into, I'm using my passive voice here, by the Missouri River. What, like 20 miles north of St. Louis? Why couldn't they have founded the city at the confluence? Didn't think I knew that, or did you a confluence? C-O-N-F-L-U-E-N-C-E of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. You know, because where that confluence actually is, there's just like nothing going on there. You would think that would be like

the greatest place of all time to find a city. You know the city that's the most most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the most important thing is the the which in turn flows into the Mississippi River, you know, what, like, I don't know, 40, 50 miles south of St. Louis, something like that. St. Louis couldn't get founded at the confluence of the Missouri and the Mississippi's and it couldn't get founded at the confluence of the Mississippi in Ohio. It just had to do its own thing. Okay. And no one thinks St. Louis is that special so I don't know they're

full of themselves. Also who was St. Louis? I mean I can think of a lot of famous saints you know you got Peter although I guess St. St. Peter's Bergen Russia maybe it kind of already had that one claimed but but I think it was like Lenin grad back then, right? Or Stalin grad or Kalinin grad? It has to be one of those three, right? Volvo grad, I think that Volvo grad, I think that's still its own, I think it's still named that.

Sochi, side note, I'm not even mad that the Olympics got pushed back this year because it just takes the sting out of it a little bit, the fact that China, China is hosting three straight Olympics from right under our noses and no one seems to care. What's awful is Trump talked about how badly China is beating us and he's 100% right back on the campaign trail and then he gets in office and does zero about it. What a waste of a human life form. China was, so you got China Jr.,

which is Tokyo Tokyo hosting the 2020 Summer Olympics, which I assume is just rescheduled for 2021. I don't know. And then you got China Beijing hosting the Winter Olympics in 2022, which here's China's got to make up its mind, okay, because Beijing hosted the 2008 summer Olympics, and we're turning around 14 years later. You're telling me, out of there are probably over at least 730,000 eligible Olympic cities across the globe, not even counting Vatican City because I don't know where they would put the ice rink, but out of the 743,000 eligible Olympic cities, you're telling me Beijing gets two Olympics in 14 years.

I mean, come on. And then, and then in 20, well, how did this work? Oh, I forgot, in 2018, the Olympics were hosted in Yang Yang, South Korea, which is basically just China. What was it? Pyong, Pyong, Pyong, Pyong, Chang, right? Not Pyong Yang, that's North Korea. Pyong Chang, get an original name, guys, all right.

So between Pyong Chang in 2018, or Tokyo in China, Jr. in 2020 or 2021 and then Beijing for a bit in palace three straight Olympics for China and I'm not I'm not gonna go so far as to say that St. Louis Should be hosting the Olympics over China because that's a, you know, a bridge too far. But let's maybe get some diversity in the Olympics. Okay. How about some affirmative action Olympics? That's probably the only way, frankly, St. Louis could ever host the Olympics. I Mean if you if I went on a game show and I won in all expenses paid trip to

St. Louis I would just ask for the $47 instead and cash because then at least I could invest it in something that wouldn't make me want to kill myself. Like some donut holes, or vitamin water makes a delicious line of refreshing beverages. And for $47, you could buy at least. And for $47, you could buy at least, I mean, you go out to the suburbs where prices are lower. I'm, you get like 25 vitamin waters. At least, you find a sale, you go to Woodmans, or Aldi, or like the vitamin water wholesale store, one of those GNC places. Great natural content, I assume, is what it stands for. We're talking maybe 30. So, St. Louis, I just wish that it would just back off a little bit,

just just back off a little bit, stay in your lane, relax, recognize that you're awful and no one likes you. Okay. Mark Twain got super close to living in St. Louis and then instead he was like, nah, I'm gonna stick to Hannibal. Why? Because Hannibal is a freaking G-man, a bad ass. He took elephants over the mountains. Okay, we don't talk about this enough. The fact that Hannibal took a fleet of elephants through the mountains, through the Alps,

how did he even, here's a better question, how did Hannibal get across the straightage or broader? Let's go to Google for this, okay, because Hannibal was from what Tunisia, Algeria? Something like that, how did ever you know everyone's always talking about you know Hannibal going over the Alps But we don't talk about Hannibal how did Hannibal Burris die? Hannibal Burris isn't dead is he?

Yikes scared the crap out of me. How did Hannibal get across the straight of straight? S-T-R-A-I-T, straight of Gibraltar. Also, how long is the straight of Gibraltar? Or how wide, if anyone knows, email us, beantownpodcastyahoo.com. Again, that's beantown, BEA, and he didn't podcast at yahoo.com. Alright, we're going to read it.

How was Hannibal able to get elephants over the Mediterranean in the Punic Wars? Uh... HANibal's war elephants had already been in Spain for a considerable amount of time when he marched for Italy. Okay, but how did they get, I don't care if they were there for a considerable amount of time, how did they get from wherever Punic was to Spain. It's not described how exactly they got the elephants

over to Spain, but earlier military leaders had faced similar obstacles and overcame them. Okay, well, what's your best guess? Elephants, I don't think can swim like that in the ocean. Also, how would you even keep them organized? Let's let's go to another reddit discussion. The Greek Syracusea, quite possibly the largest transport ship of the era, could carry 1,600 to 1,800 tons. Fuck, that's a lot of tons. That's two times 1,700 is, let's see, 3,400.

And then he add three more zeros. That's like 3.5 million pounds. That's crazy. A better could carry 20 to 30 tons, an elephant weighs in at five. Wow. That's a lot of tons. Interesting.

Very interesting. Or maybe he just had highly amphibious elephants that could both swim across oceanic streets and hike over the mountains. I'm just envisioning at this point like the Matterhorn and an elephant and an elephant, nay a covert squadron of highly trained assassin elephants, like skiing down the matterhorn into Italy, wearing ski goggles, and I don't know, just doing all sorts of bad ass tricks. You know, it's like the A team, but with elephants. And one of them is, you know, like Arnold Schwarzenegger. And one is like Jason Statham.

And then there'd be one that's just there for comedic effect. I'm thinking like either Kumeil non-Jiani. And again, it's an elephant, but like a Kumeil non-Jiani type, or maybe a Jonah Hill type elephant, maybe he's naturally on the large side and that plays in to the comedic factor. Again, these are elephants, but just think about it. what I'm getting at here is seeing Lewis just, you know, just, you know, I know, not good, bad, real bad, very sad. And there's really no reason to go there because the wait times at the arch are long. The beer is real bad. If you're looking to explore the Mississippi,

just go to Memphis or Dubuque, Iowa, right? Or Galena, a quaint little town, even Malin, okay, or Davenport, or one of the two other Quad cities. So if you want to include St. Louis in the Great Lakes region, then just put it together with Cleveland, where I was going to say set them on fire, but Cleveland's river is already on fire. The Quata loop air, whatever their river is called, that flows into Lake Erie.

And just take those two cities and, you know, if we're gonna do like another civil war here, maybe they'll be the first two to succeed, but instead of fighting a war to, you know, bring them back in, we just sort of let them leave. Okay? And that's about all I wanna say on that matter. back in, we just sort of let them leave. Okay? And that's about all I want to say on that matter. Let's go to our ads here and think our wonderful sponsors

who so generously supported that 23 minute rant, 23 minute long rant on St. Louis. Home Pride Organ. 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, you can, speaking of rivers, just go to the Oregon Illinois. It's on the rock river which flows into the Mississippi, maybe, or the Illinois River. I don't know. I don't know.

Why, St. Louis couldn't even get founded where the rock river flows into the other river, or at least the Kishwaki into the rock river, right? St. Louis just stuck their nose up at all those different confluences. What losers? Well, Oregon listeners, there's good news. Home Pride inspection services in Bend, Oregon,

if I was going to found my own city, definitely be at a confluence. Essential Oregon's hottest new home inspection provider with inspection services, including things like heating and cooling, roofing, plumbing, and so much more. Home Pride Oregon is both contractor certified and home inspection certified, so you know you're getting the good stuff. If you're tired of big real saves for a little little little little little little angle hold on the home inspection market and you want a safe certified home inspector, you

can trust you. You got to call Steve at 541-410-0316 or you can just visit home pride organ.com. Again, that's 541-410-0316 or you can visit home pride organ.com. Again, that's 541-414-0316 or you can visit home pride organ.com. Home pride organ inspection, perfection. Kind of had a hankering for a soda today. I haven't had a soda this year. And I did not get one.

Maybe later. I tell you what, here's my situation. So it's currently 4.55 pm, Sunday, June 14th. And there's a NASCAR race today down at homestead outside of Miami Race was supposed to start at two thirty PM central time Which Miami is in the eastern time zone, but literally you go up to you know Tallahassee and it's in central time zone. It's just crazy man

But the the they they have completed five laps, and the race has been under red flag for the last 90 minutes or so, because of lightning in the area. Well, first the race was delayed, because of a brief shower, so then they had to get out there, drive the track. Then they ran five laps, then lightning,

and they've been under red flag ever since. So it's like, I don't wanna leave the house because I wanna watch this race because this is literally like the only sport on that I care about. You can find some European soccer and you can find MMA. And then there's NASCAR.

And frankly, only one of those options is even halfway appealing. Oh, you want to hear something real sad? Just wait, we'll finish our ads and I'll tell you something real sad. Happened to me today. Shout out to the Samson Q2U series at KenhandleRans. You can handle raves.

You can handle sad stories, which I'm about to share with you. But just remember, when God speaks, He uses the Samson. Cuts by Q. And we are back open and operating as of June 3rd.

And this week, it's something to do with, oh man, I don't even remember what this, if I go to NASCAR.com, I bet they'll show me.

What is this week? The... The Dixie Vodka 400. I wish I wasn't Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum I'm not referring to my voice. But sometimes you just, you're like, hey, how about, how about we get a song? And sometimes you sing it. And in the first two and a half years of being town, we would just have to let it go there. But we're going to kick it up a notch. I don't know if you're going to hear this very well, but you know, for this is this is for the Dixie bond car 400. And my point was going to be that maybe we could get beat bean town podcasts could be the titular sponsor for one of these races. How

much do you think that's costs? Like if I you know instead of taking the all expenses paid trip to St. Louis and took my $47 instead, you think that's costs. If I, instead of taking the all expenses paid trip to St. Louis and took my $47 instead, you think that would pay for, could we have the beantownpodcast.com, Chicago and Speedway 400 next year? I don't know, we'll get on it. Let's play a song.

No, we'll get on it. Let's play a song. That was the whole song. So, Dixie Vodka. Remember, when you need a drive home, drink responsibly, because you might spill your Dixie Vodka 400. Something like that. Welcome to part two of the program. I got a pee. But the show goes on.

Show my school on. Remember at the concert when After Freddie Mercury died And Elton John saying show must go on If you haven't seen it after you finish watching Huey Lewis and Dwight Clark sing Hip-to-be-square You ought to watch Elton John sing show must go on with clink with Queen What a day.

Okay, sad story. I was out on my walk earlier. My Sunday stroll because I'll do anything for a iteration. And I'm coming home. And I think to myself, you know what? I almost, I've been real good, diet wise, you know, I'm down 62, 63 pounds. And I don't really ever treat myself from a drink perspective. I do plenty of cheating and splurging on Sundays with the soup, the food, and then I was going to say solid, so I decided to go with the foods, with the solid food that I eat. But I said, you know what, let's get an iced coffee,

which I'm not a, that's not my vibe. I'm not an iced coffee, which I'm not a, that's not my vibe. I'm not a nice coffee person, but I had been out on a walk and the sun was shining and it, you know, I was heating up a little bit. And so I stopped over at the Duncan, and before you jump on me, my local coffee shop, ellipsis is still closed for COVID, although I learned they're opening up on Wednesday,

which is very exciting. So I go to the Dunkin' and I get a nice coffee, and I'm real excited. Bring it back, even posted a picture of myself on Facebook. And I sip a little bit, not too much though, because I'm gonna hop in the shower, and then I figure I'll work on this after my shower's over. So I set it on the kitchen or on the bathroom sink, on the sink, the ledge.

And it wasn't a precarious position at all, very comfortably positioned. And get out of the shower, I'm drying myself off, and I move the towel around to my back to take care of my back and whipped it too hard in the ice coffee and right on the floor. And I like watched it happen in slow motion and I feel like it wobbled enough to where I totally had the opportunity to save it, but my body just froze and it just happened. I probably got about four sips of my iced coffee and then the rest of it is on the floor. So first iced coffee of the summer, tasty. So there is your sad story. So that's why I'm kind of feeling like, you know, so, so does is something I almost never have. We're talking like could count on my hand the number of times

I physically have a soda in a year. And I don't usually have like a hand cream for it. It's not, I get hand cream for different things all the time. A soda is not usually one where I'm like, hmm soda. But I'm thinking after I finish this, especially with this NASCAR still under red flag, I got a we're going to finish this episode soon. So I can hop on Twitter and try to get a sense of what's going on here. I just I just got a the classic feeling that we're going to sit under a red flag, a green delay

for another hour, not even rain. It's lightning. Then they're going to push it to tomorrow night or tomorrow afternoon. That's just a classic NASCAR thing to do. I got a hop on Twitter, so you're saying about it. But I might go up to the 7-Eleven and grab a little something. Nothing crazy, just a hit. It's a Sunday, my ice coffee experiment failed miserably. Just something to consider, okay.

just something to consider. Okay. Pretty much all I had for you. I was supposed to go to the for Tully's concert last night at Metro, but obviously no concerts going on right now. They were rescheduled for January, I think. And then I'm still trying to, I'm still trying to get updates on both Green Day and Gaga. Because that's the exact, that's a month away. Green Day is supposed to be August 13th or two months away.

Green Day is supposed to be August 13th. Gaga is 14th at Regulate, I believe, are the dates. Obviously those aren't happening. Just trying to get a sense of where we rescheduling. Are we just going for refunds? I probably, I probably, this is a tough one. I've already been through this with foo fighters.

So I never really talked about this in the podcast and I don't even, there's not that much to talk about because I barely scratched the surface of any of it but I have done some very basic ticket flipping because it's just like, I won't say an easy way to make money because everyone's a gamble, but you don't really have to do anything.

You can just literally be online, find tickets at a low price, resell them at a higher price, profit, that's the whole thing. So my first stab was, was a food fighter's tickets. They were supposed to play an Easter in Phoenix. And obviously COVID happened and I was able to get my full refund, which is good because it's just, when we're talking about COVID, when, you know, if you can break even and not lose money off of, you know, something like this and there's a lot,

I mean, I had four tickets and each one I paid like, well, I don't know, 85, 90 bucks for. So that's, I mean, that's a big cash investment. So just give me that back, break even, I'm good. Green day, I just bought one ticket for myself. I wasn't even trying to flip anything I just want to go to that so I'd probably just hold on to my ticket and not ask for the refund because I got it a good price It was like 60 bucks or something and then Gaga I have three tickets with the sole intention of flipping

I got those that are really good price because I got as part of my credit card pre sale. And I mean, without COVID limitations, under normal circumstances, I probably could have made a solid like 150 to 200 total of those three tickets for flipping them. But I'm not sure, you know, if we get, if they're saying, okay, reschedule for Gaga,

you know, next summer, presumably, or you can just take your, you can get cash out right now, break even. It's tough, because the party you just wants to cash out now, recoup your money, no loss, there's no gains. But then the other party you use like, well, but I'm pretty sure if I hold on to this money, I'll be able to increase it by a lot someday.

It's a good problem to have, but there's no clear answer. Oh well. Okay, let's see, that's that's all I got for you. That was, we kind of started off by talking about something and it turned into St. Louis and I think we brought up China at some point and I think I played a very racist song in the piano too. So just another day in the life of the Beentom podcast. Thanks for everyone who's listened. I got a lot of good listener feedback and engagement on our show last week where we power ranked

eight American Girl Dolls. I think we will definitely do some of that in the future, not with the American Girl Dolls, but something different. I already got some plans in the works. Next week is Father's Day, which is a very exciting time for the Bean Tum podcast. And you're probably thinking, well, Quinn writes a Father's Day song every year

for the show. This has been, dates have been circled on the calendar for weeks, months, years. So he's probably got some great, big grand ideas already going for his song. And he's probably already done some demo versions Nope, I haven't thought about it one minute of my life So we got you know start the timer now. We got seven days to write and record a a bang in tune for our third ever Father's Day song

That'll be next week. I don't know what it's gonna be like, but we got a piano at our disposal now, so that could be fun. But yeah. Okay, that's our show. Thanks for tuning in. Remember, you can listen to us across,

you know, bean town networks, we're streaming live across the country, across the globe, SoundCloud, YouTube, we're gonna put this one on YouTube. Oh quick sidebar. I had the camera. We actually recorded video footage for last week. My Mac just out of the blue very conveniently has stopped being able to read my SD card. So I am literally I got nothing right now because I have three laptops in this apartment. I'm looking at all three of them right now. Only one of them has an SD card reader and that one

doesn't work. So great. I don't know what the plan is. The drivers are coming back to their cars. That's very exciting. Well, this race is still gonna be long anyway, so I think I'll go grab a refreshing soda, refreshing and just miss a couple of these laps, whatever, not a big deal. Yeah, so sorry about the videos, doing my best here, but I literally am at an impasse right now. I would have to find some sort of external reader.

I don't know. We'll see. I got to do some research. But that's what I got for you. So let's queue up the Tishmhinga Blues. And thanks for listening. Shoot us an email. Bean Tom Podcast, Yahoo.com.
