It's Quinn David Furness.
We are coming to you live with a song by Mr. John Fertelli.
We are getting in the mood, getting in the spirit of it all because yours truly
is going to see the Fertelli's live
in Washington DC next weekend at the 930 Club,
I believe or it's Anthem, I don't remember which one.
We are in Washington right now, speak of the devil,
come into you live as we wrap up our
bean town podcast 2018 spring the road trip here.
It's been a fun time. We've been all over the country. We started in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. We then went to Memphis, Tennessee, two weeks ago.
We did that show down by the banks of the Mississippi,
which was a lot of fun.
We then, last week, we were in Boston, Massachusetts.
If you happen to miss that podcast,
I encourage you to go check it out.
It was a lot of fun. We did it
with Ryan Liggin and Kristen English co-host of the Card Convose podcast. Always a good
time hanging out with those two. And we are a fun weekend. First, not my first weekend is for
everyone I haven't had both days off, but I don't know, I feel a lot more relaxed.
This weekend, then most weekends in the past, which is nice, it's the first weekend I've had where I'm just,
it's ironic that I'm saying that because I'm not at home right now.
I'm in Washington, but last weekend I was in Boston both days,
which was great fun to get away, but you're still not completely
in your personal zone.
Before that, we were in Memphis, which fun, Memphis Memphis Nashville but it was also working while I was there
You know another weekend I was working and then I went to Harrisburg
So we've been busy on the road. It's nice to be
Home for a little bit. He says as he is
Podcasting from not his home city, but yeah, we'll be we'll be back
later today. Gonna get home and watch that cross-town classic finale. Cubs for socks. Always
a good time. What else we got to the NASCAR race was last night. Kansas, Kevin Harvick with
the victory. What else is new? Every, I feel like
every single NASCAR race this season has been won by either Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch, Martin
True Extruder, or Brad keselowski. It's like those are the four now. I don't know what happened
to Hendrick Motorsports five years ago. Those guys were on top of the world with Jimmy Johnson and Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Casey Kane.
Like that was, it was unfair how good that team was.
And now it's, if Jimmy Johnson is the only kind of OG guy left, they, they all retired.
They dumped Casey Kane who just has kind of a mind-blowing NASCAR career.
He was like the young guy to watch, you know, seven, eight years ago.
And now he doesn't win at all.
He rarely cracks the top 10.
Nobody talks about him.
I don't even know what team he races for.
So that's kind of surprising what happened to him
because he was supposed to be the guy.
And then they have, so it's Jimmy Johnson and then man,
three guys that I can't even tell you who it is.
One of them is somebody who's actually kind of famous
in terms of the young drivers.
But none of the legends
from the 2000s.
Those guys are all from the most part either retired or at the end of their careers like
Jimmy Johnson.
Still one of if not the greatest NASCAR racer of all time, but yeah, I didn't think we'd
be talking about NASCAR on today's podcast in the spirit of sports.
So I yesterday
was
tooling around in the morning didn't really have much to do.
Had a day off and decided I would check in knowing the orals were in town
to see how much
tickets were for a game, usually pretty cheap, but it is a weekend, so in a
divisional game, so they go, well let's check it out. So two things here, one,
learned that they were playing a double header game starting at 3.05 pm,
second game scheduled to start half an hour after the first one ends, and also
it was single price admission for both games,
which I guess probably has happened before,
but that's not the way the Cubs issue
do at Wrigley Field.
It's almost always play game, clear everybody out,
gate closes, gate reopens, new tickets,
that sort of thing.
Cammy Yars, it was just a big long party yesterday.
Once you're in, you're in for eight hours of baseball so I
Go there
Well first things first I buy a ticket online nine dollars
It's like $11 with all the fees and stuff
Not bad for two baseball games. I go to the grocery store
So so Cammy yards if you don't know if you've never been there has an
extremely liberal
Food and beverage policy like so liberal. It's like if
Cory Booker was the mirror Chicago or something and
So I go to I go to the eddies on eager
get a pack of brats get a pack of brats, get a pack of buns and a gatorade. You know, one of those
not like the giant ass, you know, 40 ounce things, but like the, not in either in the standard
size, it's kind of like the bloated size. It's like the kid in middle school who just doesn't
know when to stop eating. That's kind of what my gatorade bottle looked like.
I don't know what it is, it's probably like 25 ounces or something.
And boy, off track.
Get those things, cook them my brats, seal them in a bag,
and take them into the ballpark.
And it was so hot, it was like 90-ish degrees that, you know,
it sure the brats weren't great.
You know, five hours after they were cooked,
but it was better than paying 10 bucks for,
you know, if I bought five even hot dogs at a game,
that probably would have cost me,
oh, it's a die, it can't be yours,
it's probably like six bucks.
So about $30, the brats and the buns I bought all together cost
like $7.
So we're saving like 80% right there.
Um, and yeah, I'm okay with that.
Some people are like, oh my God, gross.
You cooked those brats and you didn't eat them for like another five hours.
Well, listen here, sister, you got to do what you got to do to save money.
So $10 tickets, that paid like $10 total for food. Well, listen here, sister. You got to do what you got to do to save money.
So $10 tickets, paid like $10 total for food.
I guess I bought a summer shanty.
It was another eight bucks.
So that's $28 for eight hours of baseball and a full day of eating.
So I'll take that.
That's not so bad.
We went.
Game one was quick, painless, always one, game two, everything started fine. It was just a slower game in
general than the rain started. If you saw my Snapchat story last night, it was
hailing, crazy thunder and lightning. Got a really cool video over M&T
bank stadium of the lightning, which was kind of a cool visual to see game
too rain delay last but an hour. Finally two, Rangela last but not an hour.
Finally, picks back up.
The last, what was it, fornings of that game
with just absolutely painful.
Relief pitchers so slow.
The only team scoring was the raise.
O's got their nuts smashed.
It was bad.
There was more nut cracking in that one
than the dance of the shirt of the fairy.
Oh, this is a seasonal joke.
But yeah, we finally finished up shortly before 10.45 pm
and I walked out eight hours in Camden yards.
And I wasn't sitting in one spot for eight hours,
walking around, use the bathroom a couple times,
mingled with the fans as I want to do.
But yeah, eight hours in the ballpark,
that was a new record from me.
I'm going to a couple games that Riggly
that have gone into extras.
I think the longest one.
And this is great.
This is podcast coming full circle.
I call going to a game on Mother's Day.
Probably what was that?
Three years ago, that was there.
What was that?
They were World Series year, and I remember it was,
it was either two or three years ago.
Game went into the 13th inning.
It was probably about four and a half,
five hour game, a heavier bias.
Here to walkoff home run
in the bottom of the 13th.
It was awesome.
It was, they were wearing a pink helmet, I think,
and he hit into the left field bleachers
where all the moms were their pink t-shirts were.
It was awesome.
And I was, you know, I was sitting there enjoying it
and thinking, damn, mom, you, you made a great son.
He looks good and he goes to games by himself.
And that was the other fun thing about that game.
I was there.
You know, it's a Sunday afternoon,
really nice weather, mother to stay.
It's a popular time to go to the ballpark.
There with all the moms and they're
getting all their love.
And there I am, like a 20-year-old kid
sitting there by myself.
So that's pretty typical of the way I operate here.
But that was fun.
But that was the longest game I think I'd ever been to.
Thankfully, none of these, neither of these games yesterday
went to extra innings.
If that's second one would have gone at extra innings,
and it was like midnight, and I was on my 10th hour baseball.
I don't think I would have stayed till the end.
I think I would have just walked, but I did.
I can say I stayed for an entire double header of baseball with a reindole.
Proud of that, who's Cammy yards, low PSA for people going to Cammy yards.
The the the oches there,'s there mostly older nice retired people. Um, I say nice loosely. I was at a game
So that I didn't witness this yesterday because I was sitting way up, but I was at a game on Wednesday night Camden and
It's one thing if you got you know your usher station like at the top of a section top of stairs going into a section
To like ask to see someone's ticket like that's fine you know if whatever I don't care
you got the right to that. What they were doing at the ballpark I went to and they
were like not like they were doing random seat checks you have an
usher I witnessed this and a great view of this. You just like go into the sections
and this isn't behind home plate.
This isn't the outfield.
And just ask the C people's tickets.
They were sitting there, not because there was,
like other people who had those seats.
These usher were just like doing it randomly.
So there's your PSA.
If you're going to Canon yards
and you wanna try to get better seats be careful because some of them are pretty
judicious again, I don't I don't mind if you're doing the you know
Can I see your ticket to make sure you're in the right spot thing?
I do kind of mind that if it's after like the six inning because
What's the deal, you know?
Especially, so these are outfield seats. Wouldn't you want those seats to be filled on TV?
Like, because those are the ones that get shown
if there's a home runner or something, I don't know.
I don't quite understand the logic behind it,
especially the random spot checking,
but anyways, moving on, that was my Saturday, spent eight hours at
candy yards. A little listener discretion is advised tag for the Bean Town
podcast because of two reasons. One, we will occasionally use some 18 plus
language on this podcast as I have already. I got it, man, I got to make a mental note to myself.
Do the tag at the beginning. That's number one. Number two, podcast is just objectively terrible.
So we got that going for us. I was talking about this last week in Boston, but I'm going to try
to hammer it home again because you read, you know, I'm reading, okay, how do I make my podcast, you know, get bigger, you know, I want to get
those sponsorship dollars. I want to become America's number one podcast. Just like Chili's
is America's number one restaurant. Chili's give me a tweet. We would love to have, excuse
we love to have you sponsor the podcast. But, you know, everybody's saying, okay,
you gotta know your market,
you gotta have your angle,
you gotta bring something specific to the table.
And so I was talking about this last week in Boston,
I've given this some thought, but imagine,
you are at your grandma's house
for like a week in the summer and there's absolutely
nothing to do.
It's hot, it's balls out.
You're not interested in being outside.
Is there grandma?
So she's kind of just sitting there taking naps, reading books.
It's just, it's the worst.
And I say this from the perspective of like a 12 year old kid, you know, when I'm 23, I think I am 23. It's awesome because great. I can take naps, I can read, I can listen
to music, whatever, I can take a walk outside, cool. But when you're half-maged, it's absolutely
agni. And all they have is like,
this wasn't my Grandparents experience,
as they always had full cable,
but if your grandparents didn't have cable,
and they just had network TV,
you turn on your channel surf and it's daytime, right?
So you got like Judge Judy on,
although I watched the hell out of Judge Judy nowadays,
this is too many commercials.
Judge Judy and like, let's make a deal with Wayne Brady is on CBS.
Maybe like, days of our lives is on NBC.
And you're just like, damn, there's nothing here that I want to watch.
So you go to PBS and it's another episode of Arthur and you're like,
I've seen this one so many times, but I don't know.
I kind of just feel good about myself when I'm watching this.
That's kind of the way the bean town podcast works, all that build up just for that.
You just kind of feel good about yourself when you're listening to it.
You're not, there's nothing else that you need to be doing,
you know, you might do it as you're taking a nap
or doing laundry, washing dishes.
If you don't have a dishwasher like I do,
maybe you're just sitting in your flower chair
and staring at the tie your blanket.
I don't know.
These are all things you can do while you're listening
to the bean town podcast, but that's sort of our role.
That's how we're gonna go to the top.
That's how we're gonna get one million subscribers.

We are on Facebook, QDF presents the Bean Town podcast.
I did this this past week, so I changed my name.
Officially, it's Facebook Fischel to Quinn David Furnace.
If you've been following lately,
you know that I have been more often than not going
by Quinn David Furnace now, not that,
you know, not that I like, when I'm in a conversation
with people I want them to refer to me as Quinn David,
you know, it's not like George Michael
from the rest of the development or something.
I'm still going to make Quinn,
but I'm signing off, signing my name as Quinn David
Furnace. The gender confusion thing is just it's not I don't know I don't want to say it's getting out
of control because I really don't care that much it's just this is a problem that can be avoided by
by adding the David in there so you know we're adding the D, you know, that's all
say about that. So, Quinn DeVonfer has had me, but you can find
us a billion different ways around sound, cloud, war and iTunes
or on YouTube. We are wherever you listen to your podcasts,
except for Spotify. So, I think, you know, I'm reading about,
you know, how do I grow my podcasts? If you're like, Oh, you got
to be on Spotify now. I don't really know what Spotify is. I
think it's like a music sharing service. I don't know. My friend showed it to me one time and
Just like oh you can listen to any song that Spotify. So I'm like, okay, so it's like YouTube but different I guess and I type in like five songs and none of them come up
so I don't I don't understand why Spotify is like a thing because I can't listen to my music on there
So what music am I supposed to listen to?
I guess there'll be Cardi B featuring Bruno Mars, Phinesse.
Yeah, we got it going on, got it going on. Yeah, that's song.
So sick of it. Thank God I only drive like once a week because it's always on the radio that and
once a week because it's always on the radio that and 24 carbon magic in the air
hate the tone of play
um look out anyways uh but that Donald Glover
song from SNL S UG was kind of cool that was a fun music video fun uh he says
lightly um i want to give a quick plug to a new EP.
That was just released.
I think EP is that what it is?
Album, record, LP.
What's an LP?
It's an LP.
What's the difference between an LP and an EP?
Here we go.
We're going to Google.
But it is called User Air.
It is by Extended Play, long play. I don't know.
We still don't know. User air, the LP is by the rock band sewing needle. When my friends
from growing up, high school is the singer in that band and it just dropped.
It is fantastic. The band is sewing needle. You can find them www.SowingNedal.bandcamp.com.
Go check it out. I listen to it the other day. It is a great cut. Those guys put a lot of hard work
into that and I do plan on buying that album, support your local artists, hard rock
that really rocks. That's their tagline. I'm pretty sure that was the like a 97.5, the
eagle slogan from growing up in Rockford but hey, I'm not going to say anything. So that's
sewing needle, that's user error. It's a great album. Go check it out or an LPI guess is what we're calling it
I'm drinking straight from the bottle today as we go here, but it's not the normal bottle
My drinking habits have been well documented on this podcast, but it is Sunday. It's a Lord's Day after all
No alcohol for me today. No, I'm drinking straight from the Coca Cola 2 liter bottle.
That's right, the big plastic jug.
Here's the sound.
Oh, that's a beautiful sound.
The reason for that is because this weekend was a jack
and coke weekend for me.
And now I don't, I try not to drink on Sundays,
but I still got this coke and it's obviously not gonna last
So you got to kind of take care of business there. Let's get a big gulp here before we move on
It's already starting to go a little bit flat. Excuse me
But uh, yeah, that brings me back to high school. I used to have about a two liter a day for breakfast
that was junior and senior of high school.
More junior than senior.
A junior was not that I was like doing crazy stuff,
but I started driving.
You kind of get that new level of control power power.
I don't have any power.
But driving, stop off at the Highlander on the way to the college every morning
and pick up a two-liter off-brand soda.
It used to cost about $65.70.
Just bring a dollar bill every day that covers the price and the tax.
A dollar breakfast every day, that's not bad. That's what we call cost effective. Plus that stuff lasts.
You drink about half of it on your way to class in the morning and then you can kind of work your way through it mid-Affron, at least until you get to lunch, which was always to make chicken.
So, yeah, that's, if you're wondering how he became such a good athlete, there you go.
It's all about what you put in.
What's that?
Steven A. Smith, beef jerky commercial, Roberto, you get in, what you put out.
Or you get out, what you put in.
Steven A. Smith was just watching J Farrow's impression
of him yesterday.
It's great stuff.
J Farrow, that guy needs to come back into the spotlight
because he's got better impressions than just about
anybody who's on SNL right now.
How are we doing on time here?
29 minutes.
It's been, I was concerned about this podcast coming in. I wasn't quite sure.
I'd prepared some stuff, but I didn't know if I was feeling it. I was concerned about the time.
And here we are with flying colors that for Tully's time in the beginning took
a solid chunk of time. And I've been hot ever since. I was at the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra
on Friday night. They played Raiders of the Lost Ark. So they showed the movie on the
screen. They played Live with the Symphony, which is pretty badass considering it's like
a two hour plus movie right around two hours. But Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, John Williams,
Harrison Ford, with a live orchestra. I mean, it doesn't get much better than that. 1981,
prime Spielberg. That was when he was absolutely hot. Empire Strikes Back is right around then,
Raiders is right around then,
ET is right around then.
I guess Empire Strikes Back isn't Spielberg,
but he might have been involved with it,
I'm not sure.
But yeah, that's golden stuff, him and Lucas
and John Williams was guys,
were on top of the world.
But that was a lot of fun.
If you ever had the chance to go check that out,
anything, usually you'll see Star Wars,
you'll see Raiders, sometimes you'll see
like a Jaws or a Close Encounters or Superman.
It's usually John Williams,
but there's some Howard Shores,
well I've seen your turn to the King
Not that I saw why but I've seen that, you know, someone's put it on
Yeah, oh tears are pretty popular. I want to try to think if there's anything else
That gets done frequently those are kind of the big ones. It's usually John Williams and then occasionally somebody else, but
Howard Shores. He's the one who did LOTR right.
We're gonna have to fact check it. Let's make sure I'm like 90% confident that
he did LOTR but this is where the podcast gets off the rail when I start to
fact check myself. Yep it is okay we're good with that. A couple of things I want to mention here.
My basketball league, we are now one in two in my wreck league. I plan Tuesday nights down at the elementary school. And we got our asses kicked this last week. The team we were playing was
ridiculously good. They do not belong in the wreck league level because they're just
men among boys. And they might have had Tyler Hansbrough on their team. I can't tell if it was him,
but yeah, it was absurd. I don't even want to say the final score because it was ugly.
We're going to bounce back this next week though.
I'm feeling confident.
I haven't scored yet, kind of playing a bench role right now,
but you got to do what the team needs.
And I kind of the intimidating, not that I like to get physical,
but I like to intimidate people with my words.
And you can target their weaknesses pretty quickly.
So I've been knowing to pick up a technical
once or twice in my day.
You can get one in our Reckley 2, you're ejected,
but it hasn't gone that far yet,
but we've lost two games in a row now.
If we keep skidding, skidding, skad,
if the skad keeps going, then your boy Q
might need to pick up an ejection here.
Let's see what else do I want to talk about. Oh, wow, there are multiple things I want to say
here. We're going to try to move through them as quickly as possible. I've been
playing trivia solo here. I mentioned this so we were doing a Facebook Live
podcast preview this morning over Mike McDon McDonald and Crapes. Just talking about a couple
of different things, talking about the best while we talk about trivia. So some of my former team
members are traveling for work and so they're not available. Some of them have just decided to drop
out, I don't know, without saying anything. But I am not playing solo trivia on Thursday nights. If you're interested,
please let me know. Most of the teams I'm playing against have like five to eight minds
against my one. And that is a really difficult way to try to win trivia. So still hanging
in there, been picking up second and third place mostly every night playing by myself, but I want to get
first place.
So, if you're interested, if you're free on Thursday nights, hit me up.
You know where to find me.
And for my old teammates, would love to have you back.
I don't know what you guys are doing, but nobody responds to my text.
So, that's the saddest part of the podcast. I finished
County Monty Christo this week I started reading it during the Bill Clinton
administration and I'm just now fishing it up so I'll be working on a book
report for my second grade literature class for that to turn in next week but
seriously okay I'm not gonna go into a full on analysis
of Connie Monte Cristo because the themes
are actually fantastic and some amazing quotes
and some things that actually really make you think.
Very relevant story to today.
But my God, Alexander Dumas,
it's like 14 to 1500 pages long this book.
It's so much.
And I've talked to people and I mentioned, you know, I'm reading Conor Maddaker.
So I'm like, oh, I read that in fifth grade.
I loved it.
Who is, what fifth grade is able to do all this?
I don't understand.
Is it like a dumb down spark notes, 75 page pamphlet or what?
Because this book is gigantic, holy crap. I knew it was going into it. I was like, people love
it so much. It's got to be a super quick read, like Harry Potter or something. It's not that it's
greed, like Harry Potter or something. It's not that it's not easy to read. It's, it's not bad, but there are so many characters. The book itself takes place over like 25, 30
years, I think. It's just a lot to keep track of. The payoff is so long, not necessarily slow. I don't want to categorize it as slow, but
I don't want to give away the story, but I don't know. It's not a book you can separate
into three acts, but if I did the third act is like 900 pages long. It's crazy, or I guess
the second act would be, but man, so great book great book kudos to do ma for pulling it off, but I
Don't know man that length is killer. So that's my thoughts
The last two books I've read have been the stand by Stephen King, which is about 1200 pages and the county money crystal by
1200 pages and the County Money Christo by Duma, which is, you know, 1400 some pages. I think I need to read a short story or something because my mind is just those are two books. I've read since like October.
Like what? Over half a year now. So, um, yeah, that's County Money Christo. Great book. Really tough to get through, not because it's slow, because it's so much material.
I don't know how long is the Old Testament,
because that seems pretty close to me.
I got a scam email, one of your classic Nigerian prints,
situations this week.
I won't reveal the full conversation this week
because it's still ongoing,
but suffice to say we might have some good comedy material
in the future on this podcast.
So he was asking for like $2,500 or something
which I think is like $37.
And I won't give away the whole thing here
because we'll have a better payoff in a week or so.
But basically, I've kind of flipped the tables on this guy.
And now I'm trying to get him to send me money.
And it's kind of like an abin and Castella routine.
We're going back and forth.
It's actually been a lot of fun.
So somehow Nigerian princess found the bean-town podcast Yahoo.com.
They're the only ones who email me.
Right, we can get fake Nigerian princess to email me,
but we can't even get friends, family, and fans to email me.
So this podcast took a dark turn.
We'll do the full reveal of that conversation in a week or so.
Whenever that is ready
We have one quick new segment on the podcast that we want to try out this week So last week we we tried out interview with a dog
That didn't work great
And I'm also in Washington right now. There are no dogs here. So no dogs allowed things Obama
But we are doing a new segment today where you're answering the internet's most searched questions
and each week is a different category.
One of our favorite categories on the podcast
we're talking about Christianity.
So we are gonna start right there by answering
the internet's most answered, most asked questions
about Christianity.
Let's go down the line here.
We are on www.questions.org.
Let's see here.
What's a question here that would be really good to talk about.
What is Roman Catholicism?
Great question.
So, if you've seen angels andons, here's a spoiler alert.
There you've been warned. So it's the second story in the trilogy by
is it Dan Brown? Is that who wrote that? It's Da Vinci code. It's Angels and demons and it is in Ferno and they made all three into Dan Brown
That's who it is killing it today made all three into movies with Sir Tom Hanks
I don't know why I said sir. I don't think he's been knighted by the Queen
But angels and demons here's your spoiler you and McGregor is the bad guy the whole time.
Bum bum bum. One of the only roles that I'm aware of in which
you and McGregor plays bad guy, although rent in is sort of an
anti hero, uh, in, uh, train spotting and subsequent trains
are, uh, shoot, uh, Irving.ving no what's his name?
Who wrote train spotting? That's why I want to know Danny Boyle directed the films
But the writer is I was gonna say Irving Kirschner. He directed Empire Strikes Back
I don't think that he's the Scottish guy Irvine Welch those eye names are tough, but
We're off topic here. You and McGregor was the bad guy the whole time.
At the end, he sets himself on fire.
He's the girl on fire.
Stanley Tucci.
Man, if you think I'm higher drunk, I'm not.
I promise, but I can see how it would feel that way.
He lights himself on fire.
Self-imulation, I've always wanted to try that,
not in like a troubling way.
Don't call it mental health expert, I'm fine,
but just to say that I did it, I guess it would be cool.
Kind of the same reason I went to a double header
at Camerarist Watch, at Shitty Baseball Team Play
yesterday.
So there you go, that's Roman Catholicism.
What else do we have here?
What is the history of Christianity?
Boy, that's a big question.
Well, it all starts with Moses,
and he's on the sermon on the mount,
actually, I think.
And God says,
here are my commandments,
which I bequeath upon you and he
He brings them down and the Israelites are down there and you know, they're worshipping
Golden calf which was actually my nickname on the cross country team, but
I didn't plan that that was really funny. I'm proud of myself
And you know, they seal them up in the arc of the covenant,
which was actually Noah's arc originally,
and about 3,000 years later,
Indiana Jones actually discovers it on an archaeological dig.
He's uselved by the Nazis.
They bring it to a Greek island, close to Crete, and they open it,
and their face is melt, and it's reacquired
by the US government, and they seal it away
in a warehouse in, I think, Nevada,
and you see it again briefly,
and came with a crystal skull for the, you know,
37 people out there who saw that movie.
And it's still there.
So that's the answer to your question.
What is the history of Christianity?
Last one here before we start to wrap it up.
Why is Christianity such a bloody religion?
That is a great question.
And I'm going to pose that question to you, the listeners.
Why do you think Christianity is so bloody?
Do you think it's because God killed all the first born
Egyptians?
Or do you think it's because he turned the Nile into blood,
effectively starving all the people
and the Nile of River Delta?
Or do you think, what do you think it is?
There's surely a better answer to this question. So for all my clergy member listeners out there,
feel free to hit me up with that one because I would love to get an answer to that question. Why is Christianity so bloody?
That is more or less what I wanted to get through on the podcast today.
Thank you for joining me.
Thank you for listening to my rants, my rambles, singing some fortellies to close here.

end of the Bean Town podcast. Spring Break Road Trip. We've had a lot of laughs. We've
had some rants. We've had some advice questions. We've played some tunes. We've had a lot of laughs. We've had some rants. We've had some advice questions.
We've played some tunes.
We've been all over the country.
It's like Johnny Cash saying, I've been everywhere, man.
Excuse me.
I've been everywhere.
That's the only lyrics I know to that song.
But we're going to finish it up with a song here
that I just learned about 30 seconds
before I started the podcast.
So for the three people who made it this far,
bear with me, it's going to be fun,
it's gonna be rough,
and that's the way everything should go in life, you know?
