Happy Father's Day. Love you, pops. Love you, Jason Razz. And I love you, Bob Evans. And I don't actually hate mommies.
Starting point is 00:03:55 I think mommies are kind of cool. Think mommies are kind of cool. Oh, oh mommy's all I need to. 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, with everybody else. Lister in discretion is advised. Need a breather. Good thing I got water here from my University of Delaware, Chemical Engineering, Class of 2018.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Mug, thank you to the blue hands for providing with this beautiful Giffin. Glad you're a fan of the podcast. I'm a fan of yours too. Joe Flacco, what a blue hand. Listen to your discretion, his advice. When you are imbibing in the fruit of my nectar, we occasionally will use some 18 plus not suitable for Incredibles two audiences out there.
Starting point is 00:05:03 And number two, the podcast is just subjectively terrible, as it has been since day one. This is podcast number 23. That is Michael Jordan's number, baby, so you know this podcast is just gonna be clutch with just the right touch of smugness. I mentioned Incredibles 2 because I went and saw it yesterday. The sequel to the 2004 film, 13, 14 years in the making here.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Brad Bird was back to write and direct. Pretty much everybody from the original was back. Craig T Nelson, Holly Hunter. I think one of the kids was the same and Samuel L. Jackson, of course. Brad Bird does Edna Mode. No Jason Lee this time around. I knew you out there hoping for a little syndrome. Reappearance, you're going to be disappointed. He did not appear in this film. I thought syndrome was maybe Pixar's best villain not that you know Pixar movies always have a great villain, but a lot of them do I think
Starting point is 00:06:17 The Sid from Toy Story in fact the Toy Story movies usually have good villains Sid and Toy Story. In fact, the Toy Story movies usually have good villains Sid and Al and Zerg from Toy Story 2 and that bear, a lot so in Toy Story 3 those are all good. Yeah, Incredible Syndrome is a great villain. Who's the, oh man, who plays the bad guy in a bug's life? Let's look that up now because it's the the main guy is what's his name is it Richard something let's check this out never thought I'd be googling a bug's life at this stage in my life but here we are. What is what's the name? Dave not Richard I'm saying a Richard kind. Dave Foley plays Flick and Kevin Spacey. Oh, isn't that timely? Kevin Spacey as hopper, leader of the Grasshopper gang. Yeah, that's appropriate.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Oh, Richard kind isn't it, too. He plays Molt, hopper's dimwitted younger brother. Oh, so they're teaming up Dennis Leary's in that movie, too. You don't hear a lot up Dennis Leary's in that movie too. You don't hear a lot about Dennis Leary these days. He also did, he did the Ice Age movies, I think. He was in those movies he plays at Tiger. And you just, I don't know, I'm sure he's still doing stuff, but you don't see his comedy very much anymore.
Starting point is 00:07:47 That's usually what he made himself on. I don't know. I take interest in Dennis Leary because I was watching his run on celebrity jeopardy from like, this is like 16 years ago. We just was hosting a comedy edition. And oh, man, who else is on that cycle? Ray Romano, Bill Marr.
Starting point is 00:08:10 I might be conflating two different seasons now. Kathy Griffin's on there. Yeah, I don't know. One of those videos a couple weeks ago popped up in my newsfeed and now I would say on average every day I watch at least one episode of wants to be a meal and a millionaire. That stuff was golden. It was before Google you could phone your friends and it was fun stuff. Ben Stiller's run was great. He calls his mom and she is of no help. That's a fun episode. Anyways, it is
Starting point is 00:08:45 Father's Day, happy Father's Day to my dad Hope brunch was nice this morning. I sent him an e-card Now I'll admit I tried to send him a couple e-cards and each time I kept getting to the the send screen and I was like In order to send your e-card please become a free subscriber. As I said, it's not a free subscriber if I have to pay 799 a month. It's free after I pay the $8 but up and until that point it's not quite as free for me. So on my third try, just like Jesus being resurrected on the third day The the the card was sent it wasn't quite as fun. I didn't have like the moving pictures the first one a couple of ones I found one from hallmark was this really good one with these bears fishing and the sun He throws this whole real right into the lake and the dad's like oh, that's a bummer and they're
Starting point is 00:09:42 Chuckling and Chortlin and they the rod, and they have a great time. The second one was a little bit less fun, but it also included bears. I have a habit of using bears on cards that I send. There was this, we had this program. I don't know if it was a Microsoft program. I don't even know what it was called it was Someone's gonna have to help me out with this it was like like a card making software It was like the most early 2000s looking software I can think of it's like
Starting point is 00:10:17 It's like seasons greetings or something, but that's not what it was I know that's not what it was and we would make all of our cards on there. And there was this one famous picture from the clipboard, and it was at this bear with this piece of cake, and I always use that. And I think the first 10 times I used it, I was just, there wasn't a pattern yet. I was just like, oh, this looks like a great picture. I'll use this one every time, without realizing,
Starting point is 00:10:44 and then eventually it started to become a parody of itself when I, you know, probably by the time I turned 20 or 21, but up until that point, we were just having fun. Oh man, someone's gonna have to help me out with the name of that. But yeah, happy Father's Day to my dad. He is not locating me in town. In fact, I don't
Starting point is 00:11:05 probably haven't spent a father's day with my dad in five years or so. So it's not something I get to partake in with frequency. In order to get to be there for his birthday, just a great son. But for all you dads out there, thank you and thank you for subscribing to the podcast. I was at an O's game on Friday night and they handed out these floppy hats, bucket hats, I think is what they're called. And it really completed my dad look outfit because I had the floppy hat. And I was wearing this blue Hawaiian shirt that I have, which I purposely ordered in extra large, XXL maybe.
Starting point is 00:11:48 I think it was cheaper and it just, it looks hot. If you look hot wear it, that's a Joe Maddenanism. And then I had my khaki shorts. I was just working the entire look, looking like a true dad. That's basically what I'm going for on these Tinder and Tinder-like sites. I'm not trying to blow anybody away. I totally got the dad bod going. I got the dad jokes going. I got just the whole package really pun intended. And yeah, with limited results, we were talking a little bit about Tinder
Starting point is 00:12:29 and about online dates. Last week, and we actually put out a call to action, if you will, calling the fans, asking them for some of their best AK worst first date online dating edition stories. I have another good one that I'll share. Last week we were talking about the parking girl. What a day that was. Happy Friday. Can't park. But we did get some fan interaction. Thank you to all the fans, you are what makes this podcast work. Before we get to those tender stories, I'll mention we did ship out some merch. We've had some merch circulating for myself, for my own personal use past couple of months or so. But we now officially have sent out our first batch of bean town podcast caps.
Starting point is 00:13:26 So if you see somebody on the street wearing the bean town podcast cap, you don't have to say, wow, that looks cool. Wish I could have one. You can have one today. Just shoot me an email, bean town podcast, yahoo.com, it's bean town, B-E-A-N-T-O-W-N podcast, at yahoo.com. I'll design a hat for you. We'll work with you to get you something you really like.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Baseball caps, trucker hats, if you're into t-shirts, custom shoes, these are all things we can do for you. Those baseball caps went for about $18, but we were actually having a revolutionary war special. So they sold for 1776, actually. If you're interested, let me know. You can also tweet at me. I'm at Bean Town Cast, message us on Facebook, all that sort of stuff.
Starting point is 00:14:12 You know how to reach us. This is not a joke. We do have hats that we sent out. And thank you to those who purchased them. It's really exciting for us. But let's get to these first date stories, Tinder. This is all anonymous. Let's just run down the line. We got stuff on Facebook. We got some emails. Let's check it out here. We have one. The guy said he would knit when he was angry. And they never
Starting point is 00:14:37 talk to him again. Definitely a serial killer. Now, I don't want to shed a bad light on the knitting community, or the quilting community, or the cross-ditchers, or even the cross-dressers. But, yeah, if you're leading with knitting when you're angering and granted, let's be real here. A lot of these things are presumably things that are being shared on a first date, and potentially a second date and potentially, a second date, but you know, right in that introductory realm, there are certain things that are definitely fun to share on a first date and there are certain things about your like
Starting point is 00:15:15 deep, emotional, I won't say problems, but just complexities that you don't have to get into on a first date and you probably shouldn't and and that's one of them. So if you knit when you're angry I don't think that that in itself is like the weirdest part of that but it's definitely weird to lead with that to share that off the bat. Another says I've had at least six crazies living in Baltimore. Well, that city, let me tell you, not all the atinder. Those were actually pretty mild compared to spontaneous dates, or I was better at
Starting point is 00:15:52 filtering then, and then a fun emoji with the tongue sticking out. Yeah, Baltimore's got some crazies. Let me tell you, what a city, you know driddled with crime and in other things and I you know they got about a 85% mortality rate in both more almost as bad as Chicago which Trump said he was gonna fix in three days and What what what what are we at now Trump's been in office for something like? I don't it's around like 465 days, and more than that, 500 days.
Starting point is 00:16:27 And Chicago's not fixed yet, you know? Half of everybody who visits Chicago gets murdered. The cringier, it's show bad, it's just unbelievable, unbelievable, and I tell you, and people have said this, and people will say this about me, I'm a tough guy, I'm nice, but I'm tough, and I would get in there, and I'd fix that city in three days, my Trump, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:16:57 I, when Trump was like, in the early stages of his campaign, this is probably, what, like mid 2015, late 2015, so I was like a sophomore in college. And when it was like really still like totally a, seemed like a joke and it was really fun to make fun of Donald Trump, I actually worked really hard on my Trump impression. And it got to be really good, that real,
Starting point is 00:17:22 real pretty good at one point. And then once you got elected, it just kind of got depressing to do it. I should pick you up again. I mean, I know there's a billion people doing it, but you could even hear today. And for those of you who heard me done in the past, you know that it was a lot better than it is now.
Starting point is 00:17:40 I just don't do it often. So it didn't sound very good today. But yeah, Baltimore is crazy. Thank you for sharing that story. Here's an email we got. It's listening to your lace-up, so I thought I'd share my weird date story. Well, thank you.
Starting point is 00:17:54 I met up with someone for drinks and my first saw him, he seemed nice enough. Well, that's, that's how every date with me starts. I don't like where this is going. However, once he got toasty off one old-fashioned, I read, I don't like where this is going. However, once he got toasty off one old fashioned, I read, I don't normally read these emails until I started the podcast, I did read this one before because these were stories that I was going to tell. He got toasty off one old fashioned, I love that phrase, thank you. He started asking me about what was the one
Starting point is 00:18:25 thing I don't like about myself. That right there, so it's actually an interesting point. That's an intriguing question. That's definitely something I've asked people in a relationship before. I think that it's a good question to ask. I don't know if it's your strongest play for a state just because I don't think that that's a good question to ask. I don't know if it's your strongest play for a state just because, here's the, I don't think that that question in itself is terrible, but I think that there are a billion other questions
Starting point is 00:18:53 out there that you should be asking on a first date before you ask that. So unless your first date is lasting like 10 hours, which is too long, you don't need to ask that question. The email continues. From there, he ranted, it sounds like my podcast, about his issues with his dad. That's what I spent the first five minutes
Starting point is 00:19:14 my podcast talking about. How he used to get into a lot of fights, not me, per se, but emotional fights with myself. This is describing me quite a bit here and was talking about how we refused to call trans people by their pronouns because it went against his right to believe what he wanted to believe. That was in quotation marks. Well, we did mention cross-stressors already on the podcast. So feeling a little attacked right now. He ended up ghost, I ended up ghosting him because I was low-key afraid of him to which he kept crazily texting and calling me.
Starting point is 00:19:47 I have other crazy stories, but this was my most recent one. Well, thank you for sharing and sent from my iPhone, too. That's an extensive message to send from your iPhone. I have had an iPhone now for four plus years around there, three years, three years of head and iPhone. And I still, the typing is just not great. I mean, it's way better than it was when I first got my phone, but I tell you what, on my old like LG
Starting point is 00:20:20 with the manual keyboard, it's slid out on the side and you flipped it 90 degrees and you started typing, I sort in that environment. I was king of texting with that thing. You could not slow me down when I was working it with that baby. The iPhone, I can still go fast and autocorrect is good enough that it works most of the time. But there will still be days, oftentimes, it's late at night when I'm tired and I'm at like a weird angle, I'm bad
Starting point is 00:20:53 and I'm sending a message or something, or I've had a beer or two. But there will be days when it is not happening. And then the other thing, this is so weird. I'm sure other people have had these experiences. I don't know why this is. My auto correct on my iPhone works differently, depending on the app I'm using.
Starting point is 00:21:12 So if I'm using messages or sending a text message, works, that's like full capacity. It's working great. If I use it on Safari, and I use Safari for almost everything on my iPhone, because I don't use social media apps, like Facebook or Twitter Instagram, I just bookmarked their pages. It's so bad.
Starting point is 00:21:38 It's like, it legs behind. It doesn't catch things the same way it does when I'm saying a text message. I don't know why that is maybe some of my software engineer listeners can help me out with that but so there's there's a difference and I don't yeah, I don't know why that is but Back to the email. Thank you for for sending that. Yeah, there's been Or I'm sure pretty much everybody who's ever been on a Tinder or Tinder-like app date
Starting point is 00:22:09 before I've had some sort of crazy story. I'll share one that I haven't told many people. I told some of my close friends about this. It's not like a bad thing to be. It's not going to be weird, but it's a bad situation. So I go out on a date with this girl. This is probably, I don't know, middle of winter I'm thinking, yeah, because I remember how hot it was in her apartment because of the heat was on.
Starting point is 00:22:35 So this is probably like January or something. And I take the bus out there. She lives like three miles south and used to where I live still in the city. And we go out, we have a drink. It's like, it's a little slow going. The conversation at first, she's kind of closed off and, you know, it seems nice enough, but just like not great at making eye contact and not great at just like asking me anything about myself. So I'm thinking like I don't know how this is going now we get you know a couple beers in and She loosens up a little bit and the conversation is going a lot better and just feeling overall like feeling a lot better
Starting point is 00:23:14 about how the date's going a whole thing lasts like two hours and We had intentionally picked that place because it was close to her apartment I like to do that on a tinder day pick something picked that place because it was close to her apartment. I like to do that on a Tinder day. Pick something that's close to one of yours apartments so you have that option afterwards. I know people who are always like you should meet exactly halfway. I'm okay with that if it's like a day-time thing like a lunch or like a coffee thing like I'm chill with that but when you're having like drinks at night it's just nice whether nice, whether you're doing something physically
Starting point is 00:23:48 after or whether you want to be close to someone can get to bed quicker. I appreciate that more than if you both have to do travel just to get back home. So we're close to the apartment, so we go back there and she said, do you want to meet my dogs? I'm like, yeah, absolutely, I love dogs. So we get into her apartment and first thing I notice
Starting point is 00:24:10 are walking. It's January in Baltimore, it's probably like 20 degrees outside. Walking this place is like fourth level Dante. It is just hot as balls, which I'm not used to because while I do for about a month or so it is just hot as balls, which I'm not used to because well, I do for, you know, about a month or so in the winter, turn my heat on.
Starting point is 00:24:30 It's always as low as it goes, which is like 61 degrees. This place probably like 85, 86, just way beyond the point of comfort. It'd be like you have to be in that apartment naked or else you're going to be sweating, which is the way I feel right now because it's 90 degrees outside and 80% humidity. But I don't mind like T-shirt and shorts inside in the winter. I had an apartment softener Chicago where we did not control our heat
Starting point is 00:24:57 and it was so hot and I had to do that but this was like next level. Anyways, so I first thing I noticed how hot it is. Next thing she's got these two dogs and they're each in a separate crate right next to each other right in the living room when you walk in. Which I think is like, okay, that's like, I don't know if that's weird. I guess I'm not a dog owner, but I think why do you have them in crates? Why are they in separate crates? She says, oh, they don't like each other. I'm like, whoa, why do you have two dogs that don't like each other that seems bad for them? It seems like a terrible headache for you.
Starting point is 00:25:30 So we take them each out for a walk one at a time, individually, and we get back. And I notice something very peculiar, and that is that there are no water dishes and these dogs crates and these are big dogs they're panting it's hot in that apartment and like okay this is strange so I asked her to do the dog-seeing water we should get them some water right because because we put them back in the crates when
Starting point is 00:26:00 we get back to our apartment and she says no, they're fine. They had some water earlier today. And I'm just thinking, hmm, a little uncomfortable. These dogs have been in these crates for the last at least two hours while we're on our date. I don't know if you were at home before. I don't know if they're out. It doesn't seem like you keep them out when you're at home because they're in
Starting point is 00:26:22 crates now and we're at home. There's no water. So what's the deal? And she's like, oh, I mean, I think they're fine. Like meanwhile, they're panting. It's 85 degrees. So she makes her move. She says you want to go upstairs. And I'm just like, the dogs, though, you know, they kind of ruined it for me. And so I said, you know, the classic, I'm tired. I got a bar mitzvah tomorrow. I'm playing for a wedding with the classic excuses. So I Uber, I nope the fuck out of there as they say,
Starting point is 00:26:56 nope TF. And I get home and I wake up the next morning and I send one simple message. I say, please, to the Tinder girl, I say, please give your dogs some water or they are going to die. And I send it and a block turn number. And that was the end. So maybe I'm the villain in that story. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:27:24 That's obviously not the perfect way to handle the end. So maybe I'm the villain in that story, I don't know. That's obviously not the perfect way to handle the situation, but I am of course a 21st century person who is just terrible at confrontation and avoids it. So I guess I go sit her in a sense, but in a way I felt a little justified in how I did it. So that was my, that's probably, you know, if I reached back into the depths of, you know, the seven years that I've been dating, 10 years I've been dating. That's probably not the worst story, but it is one that sticks in my mind. It's the dog girl. It's a bad story.
Starting point is 00:28:03 I hope those dogs are alive somehow. I hope they have water. So I guess I'm just ultra sensitive to this sort of thing because I have a dog that died from like heat exhaustion related stuff. So yeah, give your dogs water on. It's just a nice thing to do. I thank you to everybody who who reached out with your stories.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Yeah, those were fun. I had a fun time reading them. One other thing I want to get to here, I had mentioned about a month ago on the podcast that I had been contacted by a West African prince who told me of a large fortune that I had rights to all of a sudden. And you know, I've gotten plenty of these emails before and oftentimes I will simply mark him as spam and go along do my business, meaning I'm on the toilet because that's when I catch up on my emails,
Starting point is 00:29:03 like anybody else. And this time I decided to take the approach a little bit differently. So I play along, email him back and say, yes, I'm interested, but how did you find me? How did you figure out this was my money? And he emails back a couple days later and says that he found me through Facebook and I that's a little strange but I say okay so how do I get my hands on the money and he says well first thing we have to do is very is very verify your bank account info I'm like well yeah make make make sense so I have to send him you know
Starting point is 00:29:42 $100 and if it clears you know it's just a testing right Amazon actually doesn't sell the time And being real here they they will charge one dollar to your account Make sure it clears and then they refund it back You might see that in your bank statement occasion. That's that's Amazon. They do that. So this guy's just looking for the same thing Only it's a hundred dollars. So this guy's just looking for the same thing. Only it's $100. So I say, okay, I send you the $100, but first I need you to send me $50 to verify that,
Starting point is 00:30:13 this account that I'm sending it to will be received. And he says, no, that's silly. If you just send me the $100, then we can get you the sum of money that you inherited. And so I say, okay, what about $55? So we're bargaining now. And this goes back and forth a little bit. You can tell he's getting a little irritated.
Starting point is 00:30:34 I raise my offer, I lower my offer, I'm trying to see what's gonna work on this guy, but he refuses to send me any money. So eventually I just end up, okay, this is fine. I'll do it. So what's your Venmo? You know, usually these guys are looking for PayPal or some sort of wire. Venmo is not usually what they're looking for. But he gives me a name, which was surprising to me. And it was just this huge srianum string of letters I'm sure he had just created something maybe he'd never even heard of Venmo before I asked
Starting point is 00:31:09 him but he created something so you know I said okay I'll do it $100 so I go on to Venmo and this is a classic move and I've used this move before it's the old uh the the didger-reduced switcher rule instead of paying him on Venmo I request on Venmo Boom pull the rug right out from under him. I go hardball on my original offer $50. I request 65 and a couple days pass. I've seen nothing you know my request is not getting fulfilled So emailing back as they hey, what's going on? I thought we agreed to $65 Venmo request and he emails you back and says no that's not what we're going to plan please stop emailing me and at this point I'm just getting frustrated you know I'm not getting the money that I thought I was promised
Starting point is 00:31:59 now I'm not going to be able to get my lump sum from West Africa, Blood Diamonds, wherever it's from, and that's how it ended. I wish there was a better big bang ending. I emailed him a couple other times. He didn't reach out. I think he marked me a spam, unfortunately. So to all of you West African princes out there, I know what you're going through. I understand the struggle.
Starting point is 00:32:24 I too have been're going through. I understand the struggle. I too have been blocked by lovers and by former friends. And by other West African princes.

Thank you to Matthew for bringing that up and remembering to bring that back to the attention of the podcast and to all the listeners. How are you doing here? I'm time, 34 minutes in. We're right in the sweet spot, the highway to the danger zone, and watching a lot of Kenny Loggins clips on YouTube. These days, as you often will do, there's a great version of Kenny Loggins
Starting point is 00:33:41 and Michael McDonald singing, What a Fool Beliefs on YouTube. It's slowed down, it's got a lot of class. Check that out, those two guys are great. And yeah, even better when Kenny Loggins isn't on Coke. This has been Quinn David Furnace, the bean town podcast. This was my father's day special. We are looking to have a guest next week. I think that's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:34:14 We've got to confirm up and confirm up some details and we will announce that as the date gets closer. Thank you all for your support and for reaching out. and we will announce that as the date gets closer. Thank you all for your support and for reaching out. I hope everyone is enjoying their June. And I know I am. I have made a personal promise to myself to not turn on the AC until it hits July because I know once I turn on the ACL
Starting point is 00:34:43 get used to it and also it's just going to skyrocket my my utilities bill. So I've been doing well so far. I've just been basically anywhere I go in my apartment I bring my fan with me, plug it in and put it right on me. It's Spotlight style and not the sexually abusing young boys. I'm talking about like an actual physical spotlight style. And it's right on me. It's on me now.
Starting point is 00:35:08 It's cool. It's refreshing. I keep my cool when I got the spotlight on me. That's just how I do. And I do things how I do things. So this podcast ended up going OK for having almost zero preparation. Thank you for listening to my song.
Starting point is 00:35:25 I prepared that for about two minutes before I actually hit record and I think it worked out just okay and everything that I detailed in that song was true. We did go to Orlando. Dad got food poisoning and I still had a lot of fun even though I'm sure he was absolutely miserable because I have had food poisoning three times in my life and yeah, it sucks. So, yeah, thank you for listening to my song. Maybe it will go platinum. I don't know. We should have a bean town album. I think that would be fun.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Maybe a Christmas album. We'll have to start thinking about that as the holidays get closer. But yeah, thank you for listening to that. Thank you for sending your horror first date stories. Those were fun to read out. And, yeah, that's what I got for this podcast. So as we move into the 37th minute, that's going to wrap it up for the Bean Town podcast. Like us, subscribe. YouTube, SoundCloud, Player FM,
Starting point is 00:36:28 iTunes, wherever you're listening to your podcast and if you like what you hear, tell one friend about this, right? We used to go to church as kids and you're mission statement. It's like mission possible. You used to, next week, or this next week, tell one person about Jesus. You know, bring one friend to church.
Starting point is 00:36:47 The more, and this is the only common I'll make, and I don't feel this way, but the more you look at the church structure, doesn't it just feel like a, or evangelical structure I'll say, looks more and more like a pyramid scheme every day, doesn't it? Bring one to your friends, they bring one of their friends. Yadda, yadda, yadda your friends, they bring one to their friends, yada yada yada.
Starting point is 00:37:06 You think they could have tried a little bit harder to differentiate themselves from the whole pyramid scheme thing anyways. That's what we're going to end with today. I'm going to go see a movie. Normally, I would just go check out an indie movie at my nearest cedar, but I've actually seen everything that they're playing right now.
Starting point is 00:37:28 So I'm going to go down to the main one and it was between Oceans 8 and Tag in either one of those movies I was actually like that psyched about. But I'm actually going to go see Tag, which is not a common thing for me to do. I don't usually go see the mainstream comedy movies, but it's free for me because my movie past all you got to do is walk down there. So we're going to go check it out. And I will report back to you next week on how that movie is. Go see Incredibles 2 if you get the chance. If you like Pixar, very solid film.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Not quite as great as the original, but it's rare to have a sequel. I mean, you can't live up to that. It's still fun. I had a good time watching it. So that's what Pixar did this year. This has been Quinn David Furnace. This is my podcast. It's the Bean Town podcast.
Starting point is 00:38:16 And it is the People's Podcast. Thank you for listening. Thank you for subscribing. And I will check in on you next week. subscribing and I will check in on you next week.
