Beantown Podcast - Wordle LIVE and Veterans Day (11042022 Beantown)

Episode Date: November 4, 2022

Quinn comes to you LIVE to play Wordle live on air, catch up on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and shout out all the veterinarian veterans out there

Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David Furnace. Welcome to my show Quinn David Furnace presents the bean town podcast for Friday November 11th. No, that's wrong. November 4th. I got one eye on the present one eye in the future. That's how we stay ahead of the trends here at, you know, bean town podcasts. Now streaming on bean town networks. I tell you what, everyone's gotta have a podcast these days. We're gonna talk real housewives in a second here, but Whitney, Whitney Rose, one of the stars of real housewives in Salt Lake City just announced she's gonna drop a podcast in 2023.

Boy, it seems like, you know, five years ago, no one's ever heard of a podcast. All of a sudden, being down podcast comes out and whoa, everyone's getting in on the action. So I don't know if there's some sort of kind of overarching royalty that we could get off of that, but it seems like it seems like I've been besmurched to a certain extent B E S M I R C H E D speaking of long confusing tricky words. Don't let me forget to play wordle later. Maybe we'll play wordle live on air. That could be good. Wordle live? Let's do it. All right let's let's do it after we get through our stuff here. We'll do it while I'm fresh.

And that's good, because I was looking for like an hour to fill today. So that's good. My name is Quinn David Ferness. I'm the host of the show, the show runner, the executive producer. I kind of do it all. Kind of like Mike White with the White Lotus,

which just dropped the season two premiere this past week. It's set in Italy, just dropped the season 2 premiere this past week. It's set in Italy, Sicily, to be more specific this time around. The only returning cast member is Jennifer Coolidge. And that will also John Grease, who was introduced kind of, I think, halfway through season 1. You might know him as Uncle Rico. He was in he's he's back. So it's basically him those two. I don't think there's anyone else who showed up in episode one that was in episode two. It's just a two of them. But other people that star,

there's a lot of people I don't know season season one had a had a lot of people I knew. And if you're wondering, well, who's Mike White, the guy who literally created this, wrote it, directed it, all that stuff. He's a pretty smart guy. The only time I've ever seen him act is it's pretty niche, but you'll recall. He plays the real substitute teacher, the sort of the roommate, I think, to Jack Black in School

of Rock. That's Mike White, kind of the sad sack. Kind of looks like a Toby Flenderson, whatever Paul, whatever his name is, but season one of Lieberstein, that's his name. Season one of the White Lotus was a loaded cast. It had, you know, the main characters were like, what's his name? Jake Lacey, I think, the guy from the last season

of the office and Alexandria D'Dario and Greg Zon, is that his name? The guy from Daddy Daycare. Of course, Daddy, you know, that movie was a triple throughout really any Murphy Jeff Garland, Zon, is that his name, I think. And then you had like Sydney Swini. What's the mom's name? She's a super famous actress. We're going to get there. The main character or like the hotel manager, he's not like a Hollywood name or anything, but he was fantastic as well. A New Zealand guy. Let's see, of course Jennifer Coolidge was there, the cast for season one. I'm just trying to remember Murray Bartlett was the name of the guy who played the sort

of hotel manager in season one. He's absolutely spectacular. Connie Britain, she played a mom that's who I was trying to come up with. Steve's on, not I think I said Greg's on. Steve's on. Yeah, I think that that pretty much covers like the big names, but that's pretty, it's pretty stacked. Season 2, the only names I really know are Aubrey Plaza.

And of course, Jay Cool, that's what we call her in the industry in John Grease. I don't think there's anyone else. Oh wait, no, no, no, that's not true. Imperiolli from sopranos. He's on this one. He's kind of filling in that Steve's on a role from last season, the kind of midlife crisis dad role.

So those are, I think, the only four actors I know. But I love it. It's a great show. It's very uncomfortable. If you miss White Lotus season one, go go get an HB O log and definitely encourage you to watch it. You don't need to have seen season one to be ready for season two. There's very little kind of connect, but I think it's good. I'm a fan. So yeah, I'm I'm I'm a I'm a white load of Stan, if you will, you know, love using that term without really knowing what it means.

Kind of like Kyrie Irving. Quick, quick anti-semitism sidebar because we're bound to be asked, you know, when, you know, everyone's talking about anti-semitism these days, are you anti-smetic? And I'll say, no, I'm not. I stand for the Jewish people. And that's what Kyrie Irving should have said. And since he didn't it's all stemming from this stupid Kanye West stuff. Kyry Irving has been suspended at least five games by his own team. And I was just checking the NBA standings where like two weeks,

three weeks into the season now, because I I follow the bulls, but I don't really follow the overall league. And man, the nets are just a dumpster fire so far. They fired Steve Nash. They're supposed to be great. They had Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons, and they are just terrible. And then in the West, the Golden State Warriors are like three and six as well at the time of this.

So it's kind of weird so far. Bucks are undefeated. The calves only have one loss. Stuff's getting crazy. Let's mention here and then we're gonna play Worldle. Well, first we'll play Worldle first, but listen to discretion is advised, and then we'll get to real housewives briefly,

because we didn't talk quite last week. Listen to discretion is advised, and listen to the bean-town podcast. Someone will occasionally use something, which number two is podcast subjectively terrible. I want to thank before we get into world, I want to thank everyone who tuned in last week to our 250th episode. It was a cosmic coming together, our Halloween spooktacular and our 250th episode we were joined by

a special guest, the mayor of spooktown. It was a really good time. It was full of laughs, love, drinks, and just an overall fun time. So that was a great episode. If you missed it, you can go check it out. Wherever you find your podcast, or if you want to check out our YouTube channel,

you can find us at Quinn David Furnace. Okay, so my daily routine here, more of a weekday thing than a weekend thing, but I always, I always play world-al, then world-al, and then court-al. And I used to play hurdle, but I don't play that. I always just forget about. Hurtle is kind of, for me, is like, it's half of the time I have never heard of the song in my life. If you don't know Hurtle, they'll play a song in my life. If you don't know, Hurtle will play a one second clip. If you don't know it, then you get two seconds and so on and so forth.

So if you've never heard of the song in your life, you can't guess it. It's not like, oh, it could be this. No, it's booty clapped by Drake and I've never heard that song before. So the other, then there's like 40%, 40% of the time. I would say that I've heard it and I can get it pretty easily. And then there, and then like the 10% is the fun stuff, right, where it's like, you got

to really pay attention and it might not be the first time, but you can figure out. And that 10% is what I want to be like 75%. That's what I want to expand upon but It is what it is and I just haven't played recently But usually I'll play on the train in the morning I'll go world-al-first Usually it starts off easier and then wortle kind of the classic the OG and then we finish off with cordle where you have nine guesses to get forwards So that was the phone. Okay Okay, World is tougher to convey with the audio only, but I'm looking at a country.

It's all, it looks small, but it's kind of hard to tell. All these borders are extremely squiggly. No straight lines or anything like that. It's kind of, you know, got four almost distinct sides to it, slightly longer east to west than it is north to south, but it looks like a ton of rivers or mountains, maybe whomever was drawing these maps back in the 8th century AD was having a stroke or something, but I don't know. This might be Switzerland. That's going to be my first guess.

Bain nailed it. Switzerland is one of those countries where I couldn't, like if you asked me to draw it just off the time I had it, it would be absolutely terrible. But if you're curious what I was looking at, you're trying to, you know, determine, gosh, Switzerland really that hard to come up with, I urge you to go check out a map view. And you'll see that it's just kind of like, you know, it's a lot easier to, you know, when you're seeing it in the context of France and Italy and Austria and Germany to be like, oh, yeah, obviously that's Switzerland, but if you take out all of that, then it's kind

of like, you know, you don't see the lakes or anything. Those borders are crazy, man, especially up in the mountains, the Alps, like how do they just follow like a mountain ridge? I'm guessing is what they did there on that southern border, but, man, that's nuts. Even the Northwest border with France that must be a river I suppose. A river with no name just says this there's the lake here it says La Dubs. The Dubs River like Romeo Dobbs the O U B S anyways all right let's play a wordle here and then we're going to jump into Real House

as a Salt Lake City. Okay, so kind of trade secret here, pun intended. My first word lately has been trade. For a while it was train, I decided to go trade lately instead, obviously the big difference is, you get a DE instead of an IN. And to me that's pretty much like an even split, but I've realized I would just rather have the E

in the long run. So let's go trade first guess. If you haven't played wordly yet for Friday, November 4th, you're not gonna wanna listen to this or you're gonna wanna pause, play and come back. Okay, so we have a yellow tee and nothing else. The next thing I'm going to do, I try to, you know, keep, I try to incorporate the yellow and then get four new letters,

obviously. So we're going to go split SPLIT, like a banana split. We have the yellow P and yellow T, so T doesn't start or finish the word P is not in the second spot. I feel like I'm doing an L SAT prep right now with those stupid logic games. Okay, so next let's try to let's see we we there's no A there's no E we haven't and there's no I so we're over three and velocity for we haven't incorporated an over-use. So let's try to find a way to do that. Let's go P O P O U T Y. Those words ending in Ys can be tricky sometimes. But I like this because we're getting letters

in places where they could be and we're incorporating the last of those vowels, even the Y. So let's see it out. Let's see how it goes, PAUTI. Starts with a P. O is not in the second, but it's a yellow, and a T is in the fourth spot.

So we go green, yellow, black, green, black. So we have P in the first spot, T in the fourth spot, and an O in either the third or the fifth spot. Okay, next I'm going to guess,. This is either going to be right or we're going to know for sure where the O is. So pho, t o photo is my fourth guess and boom goes the dynamite. There it is. Got word along for. That's a that's a tough word. That's not an impossible word by any means. But it's not like the easiest word. So I'm pretty proud of that. Wordal on four. There we go. A solid Friday. It was a good, I love it when the logical reasoning is

just, even if we don't get it on two or three, it's like, I followed my heart and my argument was sound and I got there eventually. So you got to be proud of that. So real house was Salt Lake City. We didn't do a recap last week. We were too preoccupied with a lot of different things. And so I have not pulled up a recap. I don't have anything in front of me. I'm trying to go off the time I had, because we got two episodes to recap.

I'm going to try to give it to you, just kind of character by character and we'll intertwine when we need to. So we start off with bad weather, I guess, is a good place to pick it up. So essentially Whitney, when we say bad weather, we're referencing Whitney and Heather, two cousins. And you know, frankly, we only got five housewives to keep up with right now. And one of them's about to go to prison. So they're dropping like flies. So there was a girls trip that kind of kicked off the season to Arizona.

And Whitney is going through some, she's uncovering some childhood trauma. And she's just pretty much incapable of dealing with it, I guess, is a good way to say that. And so she's responding in some unpredictable ways. Basically, there's this wild rumor going around that Lisa Barlow has been performing various acts to a variety of people around town in order to promote her to

Keela brand. And there's just a million rumors and it's stupid and it's kind of hard to, you know, keep track of everything. But Whitney and Heather and a friend, I don't need Angie, who's going to, who's becoming more important. They're trying to make Angie a thing, especially in this episode from this past Wednesday, two days ago, and we're gonna get to that in a second here.

But Whitney was like talking to everyone in the group and basically, Whitney is just the worst at like bringing things up at an appropriate time. So everyone's super drunk and she's telling Lisa like we've heard these rumors like Heather heard them too You know our friend Angie told them to us at a jazz game and Heather's like I didn't hear this. I'm not I you know I can't corroborate the story I just didn't hear that and and Lee or Whitney just freaks out and she's like

You don't have my back like and wait and Heather's like well, what do you want me to say like I didn't hear that and Heather's like, you don't have my back. And Heather is like, well, what do you want me to say? Like I didn't hear that. And Heather is completely in the right on this stuff. And Whitney is just freaking out because she feel like, you know, Heather's her cousin, she's supposed to be her best friend. She feels, oh, you're not supporting me. Even though, you know, Heather is just like, I didn't hear that. So I can't say anything about that. a hundred percent so Combined with all of her like trauma and stuff that she's trying to go through Whitney basically feels like no one has her back right now And I will say that Heather kind of but Heather hasn't had a great response to like Whitney opening up about this stuff and that she's going through this stuff

And so there's just some tension there and so that's kind of what's going through this stuff. And so there's just some tension there. And so that's kind of what's going on. They're kind of made up by now, but they're a little bit on the ropes. So with Lisa, you've got all these rumors going around. And apparently they're stemming from Angie, who again is kind of this, at this point in the season like an unofficial six-house wife, but we don't really care for her. And Meredith, who is not a fan of Lisa right now, because Lisa freaked

out on her behind closed doors at the end of last season, called her some very, very nasty things. Meredith is doing a sneaky lawyer job of like spreading some stuff and then walking back. So she's just kind of being a little snake to try to get back at least. So which I guess you could say is justified perhaps. So there's kind of all that stuff going on. Meanwhile, Jen Shaw is kind of just living in her own world. We're still at the point, you know, because they filmed this back in February or March or whenever it was to where she was now at this stage at the time like the last person left who hadn't taken a pleadial and she was still preparing to go to trial. Now of course, fast forward, you know,

eight months or whatever and she is, has pled guilty. Her sentencing, I think, is next month, I think is when it is right before the holidays, I believe right before Christmas. So she's getting ready to hit the slammer, probably at some point in 2023. And according to Andy Cohen, she's no longer part of Real House of Salt Lake City. So you're seeing the last adjunct show right now. At the end of the previous episode,

there was a ski trip that was planned. It wasn't that interesting or crazy, they were just kind of doing stuff. And then the only real kind of nugget that happened was at the end, because everyone was there, including Angie. Angie had wanted to talk to Lisa to try to like clear the air about some rumors and stuff.

And Lisa was just like, no, I don't have anything nice to say. So we're not going to talk. And of course, for dramatic purposes, Angie is like, oh my god, like a total freak out. So that episode, that one two weeks ago, was pretty lackluster. Now we get to this past week's episode.

Things are heating up a little bit. So we get two good storylines going now from Heather. First, she's working on a book, a memoir, an autobiography called Bad Mormon. She's going to talk about her troubles with her childhood and the church and all that stuff. So that's number one. She's way behind on deadlines. Number two, she's decided she you know, she's not longer, no longer part of the Mormon community, but she's still seeking out that community feel, that social sense that she got from the church many years ago. So she's decided to start her own non-religious choir

and all the housewives are gonna be auditioning for it. So she's got a theater rented out for auditions and she's kind of preparing for that this whole episode. And I guess she got a third thing, this was a big Heather episode. A half of the screen time was her. They're trying to expand Beauty Lab, her business into a second location,

but they're also running behind on that. I get the sense that Heather has like a lot of ambitions in goals and they're good things, but she's just not the best at executing them or doesn't know how to put employees or people she works with in the right position to succeed. That's kind of my take. Let's see, we get weird,

there was very little Meredith in this episode, maybe five minutes of screen time. The only really thing we got was Meredith and her husband Seth. And we're now coming back to Angie and we're just going to have a bigger role. They go on a double date, a little dinner with Angie and her husband Chris, which another Chris, I know you're saying that, fans of Potomac will say, well, we got, we got White Chris, Candy Ass is husband, in case you're wondering, who's Candy Ass? C-A-N-D-I-A-C-E Candy Ass.

She's just proud of her name, Candy Ass, but how can you not play around with that extra eye? So Candy Ass and Chris, but then also Monique, who's no longer on the show she up fired after she attacked Candy ass vault people her husband Chris Samuels played for the Washington Commies although they were not called that back in the day. He was an offensive lineman I think and now they're divorcing two Chris's from Potomac. There's probably Chris's and other franches

Franchises. I don't even know about now. We have another Chris, but this Chris is by far the worst one because earlier in the episode, we've been talking with a been showing some weird Instagram posts from this new burner account called Shaw exposed, but it's not just about Gen Shaw. It's just like the total rumor mill. And they were spreading that account was spreading some stuff about Lisa. And this Chris guy and his husband is like super giddy about it. And he can't, he just can't control his, his little secret anymore turns out this 50 year old middle age white guy with like this big beard is behind this real housewives, like this big beard is behind this real housewives, like burner rumor mill account.

And he's just like so excited to share it with Meredith and Seth. And they're just sitting there like, what? Because it's like, it's not that this account was like coming after Meredith or anything. So otherwise Meredith would've been pissed off with them, obviously, but it's like, what are you doing?

You're like a middle aged white guy and you're like excited to share this. So, Chris and Angie, they're not even part of real housewives of Salt Lake City, but they are easily, easily last in the Salt Lake City housewives power rankings. That's how little I think of them. So, that's pretty much what's going on

with Meredith and Seth. Meredith really hasn't gotten a lot to do this season We really don't have any like good personal storylines. It's all just like reactionary to other things going on Trying to think Whitney had one scene with Lisa But it was at yoga and they weren't talking about anything that interesting The the choir auditions are really what people are looking forward to, I think.

Juncha goes on a date with her husband, Coach Shaw, of course, you know, him as the defensive backs coach at the University of Utah. It's that one of those playplaces where there's all the foam things and you can like push each other with like the foam rollers basically or you can do the monkey bars or basically an adult jungle gym. And I read this online and it's pretty, it's funny and also potentially completely accurate. Coach Shaw who's also an attorney or used to be, I don't know if he still has his license. He's throughout this season so far, taken Gen Sean a couple of different dates that are maybe sneakily getting her ready for life in prison

to be able to defend herself, which is like kind of a funny joke, but also could legit like be what coach Shaw is trying to do. So, oh, I forgot there's one other really good storyline. Two episodes or maybe this was even more like three or four episodes ago. Lisa's oldest son, I think his name is Jack, but I don't really remember. You know him as the owner of Fresh Wolf, which is like Axe for young boys. He's basically saying, because I think he's like a junior in high school maybe, maybe even

a senior, I don't know, probably a junior. And he's like, Lisa's like, so what are you thinking about college? And he's like, well, I'm not going to go to college. And they had kind of an awkward scene playing basketball. And he's just, you know, being a moody teen. Well, we revisit that conversation on this episode. And it's Lisa and her husband, John, who is like an all-time top tier housewife husband, not because of anything in particular, but he's just like very level-headed, very kind.

Oh, I got, speaking of husbands, one other thing to talk about, then we're going to wrap it up. Don't let me forget Justin Rose. And so they revisit this conversation with their older son, Jack. And he's basically like, well, I've been watching some YouTube videos and some TikToks about people who made it big and they didn't go to college and hats off to Lisa. Because sometimes she's really hard to like

and pretty insufferable. She totally brings the hammer down. And she's like, we are not going to be here to like support your business with more and more money. Like you need an education and it was just like an absolute bitch slap to the face. Parent to Kate, it was amazing to watch as someone who works in higher education and needs more tuition dollars. But no, it was, it was a really just like, it was like the realist I've seen a house I've seen be in a long time. And it was, it was pretty enjoyable.

That kid got, got what it was coming to him. So I, I'm thinking he's going to go to college because otherwise he's going to be kind of screwed. So that was really good. Last thing here before we're finally done with housework, as I promise, this was news maybe, you know, well, probably like 10 months ago at this point, but Justin Rose, who's like, comes across in the cameras as a pretty like reasonable and nice guy, I think,

but he's all about MLM, LLM's, him and his wife Whitney Rose. Well, he's apparently like pretty high up on this pyramid scheme at whatever business he was part of. And he got let go from his job, he got fired because last season, season two of Real House of Salt Lake City, there was this very uncomfortable There was this very uncomfortable scene where he and Whitney are more spurred by Whitney's desires. They were like trying to kick their sex life back into gear and they do this very uncomfortable sex painting, body painting kind of thing. And it was prominently featured in season two and very uncomfortably so.

And once that finally aired, they exact set this company or whatever apparently were not too happy. And so Justin got fired from his company. And Whitney actually had a pretty rough reaction to it. She was all about like, she made it all about her basically. And didn't seem to understand that.

She basically felt like he got fired because they couldn't these people at Justin's company couldn't stomach him being married to a successful business woman when obviously it was because they were doing like this uncomfortable sex painting on camera and she was just she just handled it very poorly so I got to tell you like I've been a Whitney defender for a while now. And she's sinking in the power ranking for me right now.

And Lisa Barlow's moving up. I think right now, we would have to, we never really do a housewise power ranking, but it probably have to go something like, at least where we are, you know, four or five episodes into Salt Lake City this season. I'd probably say, for me, my number one's probably, probably Heather, then Lisa, then Meredith, then Whitney, then Jen, then Mary, Rest in Peace, can't forget Mary, then probably Angie, even though she's not a real housewife,

and then probably Jenny, who we've all kind of agreed to forget about, because she's just awful. And I really disliked her way before even the Trump stuff came out. So that's where we're at in real houses in Salt Lake City. Let's do a quick shout out to our ad sponsors. Then Then it got one last thing for you. Then I got to get skidaddle in here. Not even to try to spell that. I don't know. It's kind of a is a Yiddish. I don't know where skidaddle comes from.

Of course, our good friends, the Samson Q2U series been bringing you crisp clear audio quality since day one of the Bean Tom podcast back in January 2018 a much simpler time. Actually, not really 2016 to 2020. He's kind of a blur. But when God speaks, he uses a Samson. And finally, our good friends cuts by Q. to the nice little shave by Q this morning getting ready for the big dad's day weekend at the University of Illinois or ban a champagne to get a football game tomorrow they're playing the Spartans There have been mentions of Apple picking so you know it's going to be just one of those crazy champagne weekends that they speak about.

And it'll be my third time in champagne in the last like month and a half. So I'm becoming something of a regular at this point. But cuts by Q and you need to fresh do something snappy and new. Just call the experts at cuts by Q. The last thing I want to say because I don't think we're going to, we're, it might be a little while for next week's episode to come out episode 252, a panellidromic episode. Because I'm flying to New York next Thursday morning, working in Manhattan during the day,

taking an Amtrak to Boston late Thursday night, working all day in Boston Friday, meeting up with a cousin Friday night for supper and then flying back very early Saturday morning. So I would guess, and I, within we have an arcade fire concert Saturday night. So it's fully loaded, then you got Vikings and bills the next day. So next weekend, it's just boom, boom, boom. So I'm guessing, you know,

this show is probably going to come out at some point, maybe midday, Saturday, if we get around to it or maybe late Sunday night, I'm not sure. So just in case you're wondering, if it's a Friday late afternoon, you're thinking, hey, when is, you know, Quinn forgot to upload? No, I'm just, call me the working man. I'm just traveling. And so I'll get to it as soon as I am able, I promise. But next Friday, the reason I brought that up,

next Friday is Veterans Day. And it got me thinking like we do, and I'm all about Veterans Day. But we never talk about Veterinarians Day. Taking that one step further, what about Veter veterinarians? Or veterinarian veterans? Not just someone who served in, you know, Desert Storm and returned and now tends to, you

know, cats and dogs, and not just someone who, I guess, whatever the opposite of that is, what about the veterinarians or the veterans who were vets during the war, like they serviced wartime animals, okay? So who took care of the war horse? That's really what we're trying to get at here. Let's not be confused by, you know, homophones here, veterinarian and veteran. Let's focus on the real heroes. And there's, you know, look, there's a hero in all of us. And there's more of a hero probably in a veteran than in a just a regular old Joe like me. But there's probably even more of a hero in a veteran veterinarian or a veterinarian veteran. So who took care of war horse? That's what I want to know about. Other and other famous war animals. There's this bear, this

Polish bear. I'm trying to remember, my name is like Hercules or something. Polish bear World War II is what I'm googling.OTCHEC and apologies for my Polish because I really have no idea how to say it W-O-J-T-E-K. Lived for 21 years from 1942 to 1963, it was a Syrian brown bear, but as a young cub at a railway station in Iran by Polish soldiers who had been evacuated from the Soviet Union, in order to provide for his rations and transportation, he was eventually enlisted officially as a soldier, I'm not me-sing you, with a rank of private and was subsequently promoted a corporal.

How many bears out there have been a corporal in World War II? He accompanied the bulk of the Corps to Italy, with the 22nd artillery supply company during the Battle of Monte Cassino in Italy in 1944 Votec helped move crates of ammunition and became a celebrity with visiting allied generals and statesmen after the war He was mustard out of the Polish army and lived out the rest of his life at the Enbur-Azoo in Scotland So who took care of Voczek? I mean look this bear is a total badass and we should celebrate him on National Earthsign day but also Someone had to take care of that guy someone had to tend to him someone had to train him

You know, he's probably in the gym five six hours a day. He may have gotten smallpox. I don't know. We need to celebrate those people too. And I'm sure there are other wartime animals. That can be this week's Beentown Podcast, call to action, email us. Beentown Podcast at Yahoo.com and get us beentowning podcast at Yahoo.com.

What are some other wartime animals we should be aware of? We talked about a Balto and Togo on the show a couple weeks ago. They weren't wartime, but they are equally impressive, saving. Pretty much the entire Western hemisphere from dying with their gnomes serum run. But yeah, I knew about Boechak and one other one and then we'll wrap it up. Hannibal, not Hannibal,

but Hannibal, the Tunisian guy. He brought elephants all the way from Tunisia to Italy and he took the long way around rather than just taking a carnival cruise line from Tripoli up to Sicily, he decided to go all the way through the Atlas Mountains across the strait of Gibraltar somehow. I don't know how that worked. And then over, we talk about Hannibal crossing the Elps. What about Hannibal crossing the Pyrenees?

I guess if you just stay where Monaco is, do you not really have to worry about the Pyrenees? I don't really know. But I feel like Monaco is kind of mountainous. How do they get those elephants through there? These are unanswered questions in history. More importantly, who was taking care of those elephants? They stepped on a thorn.

You got to get that out. They got a peanut stuck in their trunk. Got to get that out. Tuberculosis was rampant back in the fourth century BC or whenever Hannibal was Roman North Africa. I actually have no idea. I was the punic words guy. I don't know. Should be the tunic words, right? Tunisia, tunic. Something got lost in translation there. But the veteran veterans, that's who I want to celebrate this Friday November 11th. Happy Veterans Day. And especially happy Veterans Day to all the listeners. I'll finish up the show by
