Episode Date: June 9, 2018

Quinn rambles about being stood up, his top 10 horse names, and carrying knives on the bus

Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David Furness and this is my podcast The Bean Town Podcast for coming to you live from 817 St. Paul Street here in beautiful Bean Town, USA. It's thunder storming outside. First ever Bean Town Podcasts sing in the rain. It just started about 10 minutes ago. It had been hot as balls before that. And sunny. Got a little sunburn today walking around. Hunt Fest for sunburn. Of the year, hunt Fest, of course.

If you have seen hairspray, the crazy hair, and just, I don't know, kind of a wacko culture. Don't really know how to describe it other than to just watch the film or the musical. That's what it's like. Hairspray, of course. You're the one that I want. You are the one. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Billie Jean King and what's his name guy from Face Off, John Travolta. Classic in that movie. Travolta is a guy who introduced a Dean of Manzell and it was what was it was like Navajo Tahi or something. It was

it was a strange award ceremony. It was at the Oscars, Grammys, I don't remember. That was about five years ago. That was fun. That was fun. That was fun. What's going on? What's been happening in your life? Listener discretion is advised on the being-town podcast for two reasons.

Number one, we will occasionally use some language here and there and everywhere. And then number two, the podcast is just objectively terrible Consider yourself warned It's about 97% humidity here fill up my glass of water and within about 30 seconds

It's more wet on the outside of the glass than it is on the inside of the glass. I tell you what, we are sipping today from the University of Delaware chemical engineering class of 2018 glass mug. It's got different lines on it. So at the top, it says drink this much to forget and then each line represents something different. Let's go down the line here. What's the material balance again? That's at the top. Next is your CHEG 112 grade. I don't know what class that is. Never

taken an engineering myself. Engineering class myself. Number next one is Bernoulli's equation. I know that from Spider-Man 2. It's a classic equation. I don't know what it talks about. Find that out later. Next one down is heat convection, like an oven. And then the last one at the bottom is Fugus City, which I think is the town where they find jarger banks

in the Phantom Menace's Fugus City. So anyways, thanks to my much older anti-Anna for providing the lovely glass mug. I feel like I'm part of the University of Delaware class of 2018 myself every time I drink from it. It's nice to be part of the team. Glad to be an engineer. You know, a quick shout out here to my little sister, birthday is tomorrow. Happy, Monday, I think, Monday, June 11th. Happy birthday, sis.

Turning 22 this year. So insert obvious Taylor Swift song reference here. Let's see. We're watching a Cubs game here. They're up 2-0 against the Pirates, bottom of the third. They're at home. Looks like a beautiful day at Riggly, I have be birthday to my sis. Let's jump right in here. I promised everyone that I would tell this story on the podcast, because I was bitching and moaning about it last night. I've taken a much more, I guess, comical approach or comedic approach to it, 24 hours later.

But last night, it was kind of frustrating. So back on the dating scene, you know, here and there, Tinder, Bumble, that Jewish one, coffee meets bagel, plenty of fish, hinge, okay, cupid, grinder, match.com, e-harmony, all this stuff, you know, you're gonna find me on there. Anyways, so go on a, go on an online date last night and we're meeting up right around my apartment, scheduled for 7 o'clock. So I get there 7 o'clock on time because I'm an on-time type of guy. And I get an outdoor table. It's a beautiful night. Order my beer. I get there first. So the girl texts me and says that she's running like 10 minutes behind. I'm like, okay, this is fine. She's driving from the next town over.

So I yeah, I understand that's okay. So it gets to be about 715 and uh, wait in there and not here and much. Eventually she pulls up beside the, she's on the, she's on the street, and I'm sitting on the sidewalk in the table, but there isn't parking right there. So she yells, hey, Quins, this is our first time meeting, actually. And I say, yeah, hey, just go find a parking spot here I am. And she's like, well, where am I supposed to park?

And I'm like, first thought is, I've figured out yourself, but I'm like, I'm a nice, I'm like a nice thought is I've figured out yourself, but I'm like, am I nice? I'm like a nice person, you know? People say I'm nice. So I think if you go two bucks south down the street, easy street parking, it's paid a park, but you don't have to pay after eight o'clock and it's already close to 7.30.

You're gonna be perfectly fine just sitting there the whole night, you don't have to pay after eight o'clock and it's already close to 7.30. You're going to be perfectly fine just sitting there the whole night. You don't have to pay at all. Even if you wanted to pay to be better safe and sorry, it's going to cost you, I think, a dollar, maybe. So, yeah, I just go down there, go park. I'll be here five minutes when you come back. So sit there, and sit there, and we're like texting and she's like, I can't find a spot which is ridiculous because I had just walked by there and I was like,

I knew that they were spots. Keep going, keep going. It's like 730 now, 735 and I'm like, are you okay? Are you alive? Do you want me to send up a smoke signal or a semaphore signal or something? Like, what can I do? What can brown do for you? And she's like, man, I still can't find a spot, which it's been over half an hour at this point. It's frustrating. But anyways, I give her explicit directions to three different areas within like two blocks of where I am, where I know that there's parking. One is at a monument, one is in the parking lot of a coffee shop. Like all these places have open parking all the time because every time I need to park around my apartment,

I go to these places. And nothing, nothing. Thing that pissed me off, she kept saying, I, the GPS is taking me in a crazy direction. What are you using your, like, what did you put in your GPS? Like, what are you looking for? Here's how you park in any situation.

You show up to the place, if there's parking there, you park, if not not you make concentric circles It's the George. It stands a technique. It's very intuitive. It's very straightforward You drive in circles around Expanding as you need to until you find a spot What are you using your GPS for like where is your GPS taking you and what are you searching for? I don't understand so I give her directions to, you know, this Dunkin' Donuts parking lot and 10 minutes later she text me and says, oh, it took me to a

different Dunkin' Donuts. I told you the cross streets that the Dunkin' Donuts was at. It says like, when Michael Scott drives into the late because he listens to the GPS just like, but this is real life. So it's we hit the hour point and still not here. And I just I at this point, I'm just completely confounded, befuddled, bamboozled even, a fuscated. And I just say, listen, I'm gonna be here for another hour, which was true. If you decide at some point you wanna park, you can do it and come join me. But after that hour is up, I'm going home,

which was true and that's what I did. She says, let's reschedule. So we did. And this all took place over like hour 15, hour 20 ashen until finally decided to reschedule. I just have no words that was baffling. Look, here's the thing parking in a large city Close a downtown is never fun for anyone no one shows up and is like oh man

I can't wait to find parking here. It's gonna be awesome But it's really not that tough to park in Baltimore It's pretty easy compared to other cities with a similar size population and where I live in proximity to downtown, Washington DC and Nightmare. Boston is a nightmare. Even Atlanta can be tough to find parking at times

in the downtown region. It's not hard here in being town. I'm not a good parker, not a great parallel parker. I get it, sometimes it takes, you know, five minutes, 10 minutes to drive around the block a couple of times and look for a spot that you feel comfortable getting into. I understand, but this was over an hour,

and for those of you who are listening now saying, like, oh dude, she's playing you, she's ghosting you. No, she wasn't because she lives 20 minutes away, drove down here. I saw her. She drove past the bar and said, hi. So this is just a man. I might be a nice person, but damn, that's a turnoff for me, you know, incompetence. Don't have a ton of patients for it. I have about half an hour is worth of patients for it, and after that half hour is up, when you take another 45 minutes, I start to lose the patient. So that's the Tinder story that happened to me last night. Thank you for your kind words and your support. I do appreciate it.

I'm red alert I'm getting worked up into a frenzy Talking about this crap What else is going on in the in the world my parents Came close to to buying a house last week before they decided that due to my dad's potential job situation with Sears they they weren't going to do it. And I'm just, I'm just thinking, how did you get this far in the process of thinking you're

going to buy a house when, when dad works for Sears? I mean, I've been fearful of my dad's job security because he works for Sears for like 23 years now. And now this just, this realization just came out that's kind of I don't know maybe I'm just going full rant mode here but like that seems like something that you wouldn't know about before you came close to putting off for in a house I don't know I don't get it I don't understand Sierra's been going out of business for 50 years now,

and we're just coming to that realization. I don't know, Mom and Dad, happy for you. Hope you find something you like, but that doesn't make sense to me. I just wanted to share that personal anecdote from my family life. Thank you for listening. The Belmont Stakes are happening in about,

or is happening in about three hours, post-time 6.37 pm on Saturday, according to this on Saturday afternoon, June 9th. In honor of, of justify going for the the triple crown and in honor of horses everywhere I thought it would be fun and I've actually been talking about doing this for a while and I'm thinking about this for a while we are going to do our top 10 list of horse names created by yours truly. Some of them are just off the top of my head. Some of them are taken from other things. None of them are horse names. They're all given this kind of new angle to them

by me, the host creator and best boy of the bean town podcast. So here we go, number one. And this is the one I share all the time. I tell people, one day I'm gonna own a horse, he's gonna win the bean town podcast. So here we go. Number one, and this is the one I share all the time I tell people one day I'm gonna own a horse he's gonna win the Kentucky Derby and this will be his name Episcopalian. That's number one. It's it's got that edgy multi-salabic one word Thing going for it. It's got the religious aspect. You all know it's the very religious going for it. It's got the religious aspect. You all know it's a very religious podcast and the people, the fans who listen to it, follow it religiously. And I

But Episcopilling is number one on our list of top 10 horse names. Number two, I just thought of this yesterday, and I was really proud of it. And Hazard Bitch. That's number two, and Hazard Bitch. Number three is a classic. It's an oldie but a goodie. It's slum dog.

That's also the name of the team I played as at trivia. This past week usually play under the name. We drink, we know things, but you know, it's the off season. There are no playoff points at stake. And I was playing by myself. So I went for a slum dog. Got second prize. You know, it was a good night. Number four, this is a throwback that only a few of my listeners will understand, but I'm going to put it out there.

Leanne Thompson, that's number four, it is Leanne Thompson. Number five, going back to the one word idea, Taikon de Roe Gap. That seems like just a gimmie. They got to have that as a horse name at some point. I wouldn't be surprised if it already existed, but taikonda roga is number five. Number six is a little throwback to my roots as a music major, unacorta. It is the furthest left pedal on a piano, makes everything mute the sound a little bit, is unacorda, and is Italian for the Pope.

Actually, so, because the Pope, in older days, when the piano was invented, the Pope's were much more quiet. They weren't screaming down at you from the pulpit, and so that's how unacorda kind of came around, and they threw it on the pianos and it stuck. Number seven is Stamford Raffles. Founded a Singapore some 300 years ago and now he's got his own horse, Stamford Raffles. Look at that, the sun's out, the thunderstorm lasted about 10 minutes. That was crazy.

Number eight, here's a relevant one for all the young progressives out there. Darth Vader Ginsburg. Okay, hang on. It's straight sun outside and there's crazy thunder going on. I don't know what to make of this. What a day. Maybe it maybe maybe the the acropolis. The apocalypse is happening outside. I'm not sure. Number number eight was Darth Vader Ginsburg. Might have to get the the rights from

Disney before I can do that. I'm not sure. But Disney you know where to find me. I'm at the bean town cast or choosing at bean town cast we are bean town podcast Yahoo.com of course RBG new duck just came out on Ruth Bader Ginsburg I haven't seen it but I've heard good things number nine is a mud dober mud dober. That's an insect that I just actually learned about the other day. It's like a wasp, but it's different. And it's a mud dober. You don't want to get bit by one of those guys and you don't want to lose to mud dober in the Kentucky Derby or the Belmont Stigs or the Preakness. Number 10, the final on the list of top 10 horse names is Richard Hidalgo.

That's a beautiful name that I thought of yesterday. It's a blend between the, of course, the movie with Erragorn and Vigo Mortensen and then actually the man Richard Hidalgo, who is a baseball player for about 10 years, Metz and Astros. And he played for a few other teams. But those Astros were kind of his big one. He had one season where he had something like 45 home runs. But I think he might have had some injury issues.

Never quite stayed at the top. So again, let's run down the list of top 10 horse names. Number one, Episcopalian, number two, Anisor Bitch, number three, Slumdog, number four, Leanne Thompson, number five, Tycon DeRoga, number six, Unicorn, number seven, Stanford Raffles, number eight, Darth Vader Ginsburg, nine is Muddober, and we finish it off, number ten,

with the man, the myth, the legend, Richard Hidalgo. So I tell you what, in 20 years, when you're sitting at home in a late May day, watching the Kentucky Derby with friends and family, and you see Stanford raffles out in front being ridden by, well, not me because I'm six, two, and 200 plus pounds. But a nice Mexican man who is jockeying for my horse.

You know who owns it. It's the man himself, Quinn David Furnace, Tell him Quinn sent you. And hey, maybe the bean Town Podcast will still be going. This is our 22nd episode. Here's to 22 more. Here's to 222 more. That would be special.

Let's see, if you do it every week, that's 53, a week. For 20 years, that's what, something like 10,000, years, that's what something like 10,000, no, 10,000 episodes, more than that even. Who would have thought I'd be able to come up with 10,000 episodes worth of content? We're not there yet, but hey, if I'm sitting in the flower chair and I'm 45 years old and I still have the bean town podcast going, that's going to be actually amazing. Maybe it would be a Guinness World Record for longest, continuously running podcasts. I don't know, but that's the goal here. I want to give a plug for merchandise.

You saw my Snapchat. We're selling some hats, some t-shirts. If you're interested, shoot me a text or shoot us an email or tweet at us or send us a message on Facebook. You know where to find us. We've got some hats. We've got some t-shirts. I'm really happy to put in an order of whatever kind of

merch you want, but like and support the Meantown podcast, wear it around town, people are talking, people are buzzing, the bees are buzzing, the scribes are going nuts for it. It's becoming a sensation. I'm up to something like, I don't know, like 20 total subscribers, that's huge and we're close to I think 20 more. So, plug the merch. My, one of my brothers fired some shots last night over my trivia abilities, saying that, wow, Quinn, you go and oftentimes you can get, you know,

first or second, playing by yourself. When I play in a group of four people, we hardly ever crack the top, you know, first or second, playing by yourself. When I play in a group of four people, we hardly ever crack the top, you know, three or whatever. And he's saying, well, your trivia game must just be inferior. Well, back at you, bitch, sorry for being smart and for studying for trivia and for going every week so that I'm consistent.

I don't know what to tell you. You know, I don't know what to tell you. I'm not sure if this is Lexington and Concord or the Ferni brothers going back and forth here, but I tell you what, I don't appreciate my trivia abilities being knocked. It's not too nice. PSA for everyone out there, the plural of furnace is Ferni because there's nothing messier than saying that Fernis is its Ferni. You're going to a flock of Ferni, you know,

if we ever had a band name, that's what it would be, but not going to be flock of ferni, you know if we ever had a band name That's that's what it would be but not gonna be a band with all these all the shade being thrown over trivia abilities I don't come to where you teach and shoot a basketball so there you go Shout out to to Paul Strader's film, first reformed, had a limited release. I've been up for about a month now. I went to see it last weekend. It is Ethan Hawk, Amanda Saferead, and Cedric The Entertainer. It is fantastic. Everyone should go watch it. Paul St Raiders, a guy who wrote, a taxi driver and raging bull and the last temptation of Christ,

starring David Bowie. Everyone should, it's really good. It's a nice blend between religion and politics, which the two are always intertwined. Ethan Hawk gives a very strong performance. I give the film three and a half stars out of four. It should be coming on a wide release, maybe next weekend. I'm not sure when it's, when 824 is doing its wide release.

But Ethan Hawk it a spot on Colbert the other night. So I would have to think that that it's going to be making its wider nationwide release soon here. I think it was originally just New York and LA like a month ago and then testing a few markets including one of my local feeders here, so I went and saw it. Best $10 I ever spent in the last week. So go check it out. It was good stuff.

Basketball team got knocked out in the opening round of the playoffs last Tuesday. Sad. We'd had a heck of a season. We went one in seven in the regular season, which was good enough to get us a seven seed out of nine teams believed or not, somehow that happened. And I tell you what, we fought hard,

but we lost by about 50 points. It wasn't pretty. I finished the year with a grand total of zero points. So, yeah, I was hot this year. I kept thinking to myself, man, once I, if I can sink five or six threes in a row, kind of get the feel for it going, get my stroke going, get the adrenaline going, then I'm just going to light up that elementary school gym. But if you can't get the first one to fall, it's tough to really get on fire. So it was a tough season.

It was fun. I only did a basketball league because my softball league got canceled actually. So apologies to my teammates for I am not a basketball player. My basketball IQ is not high. to my teammates for I am not a basketball player. My basketball IQ is not high. And it's just, I'm sure me being there was fun for no one. But I had fun, sucking it up being just a giant turd out there. So yeah, playing a softball league

that should start in about three weeks here, maybe two. And that's where I'm really gonna shine. I can't do much on defense other than play pitcher catcher first, second base. I can play outfield because I have good range, but I won't be able to gun anybody down at the plate with my shoulder issues. Unfortunately, but that should be fun.

I think I still have my hitting abilities work in for me. That's the one thing that I always had going for me. I played baseball. My defense would kind of be here and there. Pitching was usually fine, but my offense was, I don't know, that was something I never really, I always just kind of took for granted, but having like a, you know, literally little league probably around like a 750 on base percentage each year was probably my average. Maybe not quite that high, maybe like 600, but yeah, just get a lot of walks, still a lot of bases. That was the fun part of it for me. I like defense, but I really liked getting to hit, especially in pressure situations. We'll see if that translates to my softball league.

I went to the doctor yesterday. First time going to a primary care physician and probably, oh, I don't know, maybe like six or seven years. Uh, everything was going fine until I had to go down to the lab to do my blood work. Thanks to the feeling, do my blood work. Thanks to the failing Obamacare. I said it, waited 45 minutes just to get a shot. If you wait 45 minutes to get a shot at the bar, they'll shoot you. Thanks to the failing president Obama and his cronies and probably Hillary too. And James Comey. I had to

wait 45 minutes just for a little prick. Obama's a little prick, you know. We'd love to have you on any time, Barack. Please, please come by. Oh, big news on the political front. Free Blagojevich. a hashtag trend that I started, it's probably top five, top ten nationwide hashtag. Will Rod Blagojevich be getting pardoned by President Trump? That's kind of what it sounded like. Will Rod be returning back to his Springfield home with patty. We want to know, uh, gotta get that hair back in the news. Love me some Blagojevich dick Durbin's behind it. Uh, yeah, Gipla Gojevich out and get him running for president. I think that's what everybody wants to see. Uh, he's a he's the he's the American darling, which would be a good horse name, ironically or quince it,

but yeah, free blagoa, it's huge. It's taken off. You know where it started. It was Quinn David Furnace. We'll see what happens with that development. We'd love to see blagoa, bitch out. Rod, we'd love to have you on the podcast. If Patty's available, we'll take her to. Patty, you are great.

I'm a celebrity. Get me out of here, season two, with who else was on that season? John Sally and Spencer and Heidi Pratt. And one of the Baldwin brothers was on there. And yeah, I'm trying to, what was the name of the guy who won? He's an actor. Can't remember right now. I know what he looks like.

We'll get back to that later. Last two days ago, I was taking the Charm CD circulator home or I was saying to the basketball game on Tuesday. And I'm sitting down and I'll stop like five minutes after I get on. Comes this middle-aged black guy And he sits down across me and he's just got this huge ass like foot-long knife in a holster on his belt this guy's like

Not not that cops carrying ice, but he's just like a random citizen and he's carrying this huge ass knife And I'm just like this is This is Baltimore this is America this this is America a little child scam you know the strife of the working class white man in this country it's unprecedented and it's got to stop because I felt attacked. I'm glad I wasn't actually attacked because it was like legitimately scary. Who's walking around inner cities with just huges, knives, just in a holster? It's one thing to have like a switchblade, but this guy just like, like if he was a cop,

he had a gun in a holster, but no, it's just like a random dude with a knife in a holster like he was going to a fish fry or something I I don't get it. Please don't carry your foot long knives around me Makes me feel a little uncomfortable makes me feel a lot unsafe and Just who who needs a knife like that? Why is that being carried around if you're gonna carry that for God's sakes, get a backpack and stuff it in there so that other people don't realize you have it because that was just like, when I got off,

I was like, thank God, this dude's not a crazy person because yeah, I mean, he's just got a knife. So PSA, for those of you riding the circulator, watch out for men with knives. Yeah, not a enjoyable experience, but not an isolated experience. You know, I've gotten on the bus, sat across, you know, guy with a gun before,

just, don't like it, not a fan. Anyways, where are we, how are we doing on time here? 34 minutes. Let's check the email here. Let's see what sort of advice questions we've got. All right, check in the email. What do we got? Who's got a question? No new emails. Okay, well, hey, if you have advice questions or if you, you know, you got a good Tinder date story or

anything of the sort, send it to bentownpodcast.yahoo.com, bentown, be-e-a-n-t-u-n-podcast.yahoo.com. We would love to have your feedback, your input. One of these weeks I'm going to get an email and it's going to be great. This inbox is going to just blow up from there, I think. I've got to catch fire. So, any who, that's what's going on in my life. in my life, good luck to justify tonight as he goes for the triple crown in New York. And otherwise, I hope everyone's having a good start to summer. And yeah, that's what I got for you. No music today. I am home.

I do have my guitar and I was actually singing some banjo last night to take it me pumped up for my date, you know, as one off and we'll do. But I don't know, I kind of got the sads since that. So is what it is, I will drink myself to sleep and everything will be just fine. This has been Quinn David Furnace presenting the Bean Town Podcast. Thank you for listening. Whole white and take up too much of your time and everyone have a good week and I'll check in on you next weekend.
