Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David Furnace. Welcome to my show. Quinn David Furnace presents
the bean town podcast for finally Friday, April 28, 2023, the final Friday of April,
which I know it's such a cliche to be like, oh my God, it's X month already,
the year is moving by fast.
And I, you know, in some ways,
I don't necessarily feel that.
It should kind of go winters.
You're eager to get out of them.
But another part of me is, you know,
it's already May, we're, you know,
almost halfway through the year,
almost halfway through bean town year six,
which is wild.
Thank you all for joining me
and thank you for
welcoming back state side. My name is Quinn David Furnison. This is my show. We are one of the top
500 podcasts on the north side of Chicago. And we are the 112th ranked comedy podcast in the great
state nation state Islamic Republic, if you will, of Pakistan, which if you haven't played
World O' yet today, I won't or World O' I won't spoil it for you, but the nation
today in World O' was Pakistan. And the reason I semi-spoil that for you is I
went to WorldO'.com this morning, kind of a tough word to say, W-O-R-L-L-E. I
went to WorldO'.com this morning and it's just going to play like I normally do.
And the way if you don't play world, I'm going to see how many times I can say it in
one episode.
Essentially, first, you guess the country based off the outline or the shape of the country.
And then second is you guess the capital, third is you guess the flag, fourth is you guess
the population and fifth and finally is the currency. So it's very
sequential right, you can't guess the currency of an unknown country before you actually guess what the
country is. Today I log in and go to worldlul.com and I'm already on like step three or four and it's
like hey what's the population of Pakistan or whatever and it's like well I guess I'll you know I guess
will not guess the country
today, which let's be real. It's not one of those borderline countries where I wouldn't have been
able to just know it right off the bat. Pakistan is pretty distinctive, if you will, shape wise,
but just kind of pissed me off. In the ways, listener discretion is advised when you're listening
to this show, number one, we'll occasionally send language number two.
This podcast is objectively terrible.
And yes, I mentioned we are back state side here.
We went to Cancun, Mexico from last Thursday, so eight days ago until we got back Tuesday.
Afternoon went to a resort.
We were total pool bombs, beach bombs. That sort of thing. This was my first time in
Mexico. So cross that country, I feel like I think that brings me, excuse me, if you're not counting airports, excuse me, that brings me to like USA, Canada, Mexico,
Dominican Republic, and then
Canada, Mexico, Dominican Republic, and then Verwanda, and depending on what story you hear who you ask, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Essentially, we hiked up a border volcano
in the, whatever they're called, the Verrunga Mountains or something like that. And the story is,
we, a couple of us walked with an armed guard, my brother and I,
around the side of the volcano to a certain point. And at a certain point, you know,
it's a circle, right? So half of the circle is Rwanda, half of the circle is
Democratic Republic of the Congo. I think based off of what I know about this
circle that I did not technically get all the way into
DRC but I figured hey I walked through that kind of weird. It's kind of a weird like not
really a marsh or a bog because it wasn't very moisturist but just some weird ass plants.
Walked around pretty much all the way to the halfway point with an armed guard finding
my footing and all that stuff. So I'm counting that as a FU to Coney.
I made it, Coney 2012, already 11 years old.
So those are the countries I've been to.
I mentioned no airports because I've been
in the Brussels airport before,
but I wouldn't consider myself a Belgian expert.
This was the second all-inclusive resort experience
I've been to the first being
Dominican Republic, which is infamous for its end
with the food poisoning and the traveling back and all that stuff.
And that's part of that trip really kind of overshadows
the rest of it.
Everything else up until that point, I thought was pretty good.
The buffet food wasn't amazing there,
but the rest of it was good.
Like the drinks were nice. It was very relaxing. It was adults good. You know, the buffet food wasn't amazing there, but the rest of it was good. Like the drinks were nice.
It was very relaxing.
It was adults only.
And overall, up into the last 12 hours of the trip
or so, I had a very nice time.
The, this experience here in Mexico,
and this is not where we're going to be talking about
the whole time, but this experience here,
and we do a Mexican trivia,
animexian palinger right after this.
This time was very different.
So to just contrast it against that,
and if you want to read, I'm being serious,
if you want to read my full review,
because I'm not just going to sit here for half an hour
on a Friday, early evening, and give you a full review
as my podcast, I already spent like 20 minutes writing
my TripAdvisor review.
So being heads
out there, here's your call to action this week. If you want, go to tripadvisor.com search
for grand oasis cancun. That's grand oasis cancun. And it'll be, if you just sort by
most recent, it'll either be, you know, the first hit or, you know, you might have to scroll
one or two. I'm not sure.
But I give a very detailed response of all the things that I liked and more so the things
I didn't like.
To really contrast it against my first all inclusive resort experience in Punta Kanna,
the Simon Kankun.
I guess the first most notable thing was Punta Kanna, and this was totally our choice,
but Punta Kana was adults only.
This place was basically the exact opposite of that.
You remember that show Kid Nation on CBS?
It aired for one season.
It was, gosh, it must, Kid Nation must have been, I'm going to just throw it out there,
maybe like 2007, 2008, something like that.
In fact, I'm so confident in my guessing abilities
that I'm gonna guess, or we're gonna look it up
to see exactly when it did air.
September 19th, 2007, oh man, the king has arrived,
the king of guessing weird CBS reality TV shows.
Essentially, the premise is like there's 50 kids
in this California ranch, and they are,
according to the show unsupervised,
and supposed to run their own civilization.
Now, there is a million flaws in that premise,
which they're kind of half to be.
I mean, you have, when I say Kid Nation,
we're talking like everyone is,
I don't think they had anyone older than maybe like 14
or 15 on there.
This is essentially what our resort was like,
not to say that there are a bunch of unsupervised kids,
but just a million children who are doing a lot of cannonballs,
a lot of dunking,
to lots of floaties, probably some code browns that were swept under the rug, or more, I guess,
accurately swept into the filter.
Definitely a lot of code yellows, like just, I don't even
want to really think about that.
But so a lot of kids, so it's just kind of very loud
and boisterous.
The reviews we had read had labeled this place
at Spring Break Parties or at which I don't doubt that it is
during more Spring Break times,
like mid-March to mid-April.
But this was the exact opposite of a party resort.
So there's a million little kids.
But then the other thing too is,
I'm curious how this place kind of has the reputation
as being the party resort
because in terms of one of the things you get
when you book an all inclusive, or when you go to one one of those places is there's a lot of entertainment built in.
And you know live music shows, you know, all sorts of experiences. We didn't really experience that.
I mean, there were a couple things like shows, if you will. We saw like a fire dancers kind of thing in the lobby of the hotel. The first
night we were there, we saw just a really unfortunately god awful cabaret that was not a cabaret
was basically karaoke with a really bad dinner, essentially a dinner show with really bad
food and worse entertainment or second night. It was labeled, their build is being very like exclusive, right?
So, that was rough.
And then, you know, we got live music from a solid band or last night there, but then other
times, they'd be like, oh, there's going to be live music here, according to, you know,
the screens around the resort or the app or whatever it is.
And we'd go and there wouldn't be music.
We never went into, there's two clubs, if you will,
there's Kiyote Loco, meaning the crazy Kiyote
and then Kinky Night Club.
We never went into Kiyote Loco because it either looked like
it was, and I guess this is just how night clubs work, right?
It either looked like it was completely dead
and there's nothing happening in there.
Or it was just like so loud that you can't hear a
single thing. And neither of those is really that interesting to me. And then there's the kinky bar,
which, or kinky nightclub, which we never quite found. This place was huge. So just kind of,
you know, entertainment-wise, not great. The food was really rough. I mean, you know, you go to
these resorts, there's, you know, always buff to these resorts. There's you know always buffets
You can fall back on and there were some things at the buffets like the omelets in the morning fantastic
Made from scratch all that stuff you you know, of course say what you wanted it the
Crapes at night for dessert at one of the buffets really really well done
But a lot of the other stuff in between was just hit or miss. But you know,
the bigger thing is they have a couple of these restaurants that, you know, they really play up.
It's like, oh, you got to get reservations. And you do. I mean, you got to, you got to be on top of that stuff.
So we did. We were, you know, we wanted to experience it. I mentioned the cabaret already. It was really rough.
The second thing we did was a steakhouse. I've never really seen steak like that. It was at least 50% fat. I got a New York strip
steak. It was very gray. Not, you know, ordered medium and it was like well, well,
well done. And so that was just not a great experience, the steakhouse. And then
the last kind of specialty thing we did
was an Italian restaurant.
And I'll say this, I had, I ordered lasagna.
It was clear that it was frozen
and just stuck in a microwave or something like that.
But it was one of those things where like,
sometimes you get some of those freezer meals
from the grocery store and you know it's not very healthy for you and you know
you're not getting a five star meal but it still kind of slaps. That's kind of how I felt about
my lasagna. It was pretty good. Rachel on the other hand ordered some sort of, I don't know if it was
a spaghetti dish or a linguine but it wasn't red sauce. I think it was pesto or something but it was
just it was lifeless cold. Just not fun to look at.
Basically the white socks this year,
but um, so yeah, those were some big misses.
And then the last thing I'll say,
and this is my biggest beef with this place,
it's an all-inclusive.
Basically you get there, and if you have the all-inclusive,
that kind of gets you in on the ground floor
of what's going on there in terms of access to restaurants
and access to nice kind of pool spaces and beach spaces.
If you want to access any of that stuff,
more of the apparently more premium, I don't know,
restaurants or any of the nicer kind of cabanas
or beds on the beach and of cabanas or you know,
beds on the beach and you think that you got to pay and you got to pay a solid amount.
They tried to charge.
So we ended up splurging for it one day.
We paid $38 US.
Um, basically to have full access to essentially what is the space between the main pool
and the beach.
There are some really nice, just like semi-private pools and chairs and spaces.
Things that were like 10% utilized by people there.
So they have all this really nice stuff.
And you couldn't use it unless you paid a lot of money.
I think they wanted like 50 or 60 bucks and we only paid them
38. Rachel took care of it. I'm not exactly sure what this situation was. But you know this main
pool with all these kids is just extremely overcrowded over a book to all that stuff. Then you have
all these nice spaces that no one outside of a select few people are paying for us included,
but just for one day. And so the whole time you're there, if you didn't pay for that, you're just like looking
at all these beautiful spaces, pools and beds and umbrellas and all that stuff that are
not being used by anyone.
So that's just kind of frustrating.
But, you know, same kind of deal.
There's a million restaurants.
I would say more restaurants and bars than not, you had to pay more to get into.
So basically what we had access to was like 30 to 35% of the resort, which is just frustrating,
right?
Because you go online, you book, it's an all-inclusive, right?
Anyone here listening, thank you for listening, who has ever booked an all-inclusive before.
You know that it's, book and all inclusive because you want
Everything there included food drink all that stuff
I won't get into the drinks too much, but suffices say you would need like five
Tiki lasotas to equal one regular Tiki lasota and that's just frustrating because you're getting so much ice
That's questionable the source of it is questionable and then just a lot of volume.
And so it was just, you know, it was one of those things to put a bow on this
where it was really nice.
Well, let me flip this around.
Had a lot of issues, a lot of things that didn't go our way, a lot of things
that weren't what we pictured or imagined.
But we still had the great
chance to unplug and I did some serious unplugging. I didn't play tune blast
all the time I was there. Just on the flight two in there or two in back. You
know, just unplug and get some sun and do some people watching. Alright, that's
always a good thing. And we did some, we met some some some interesting people.
This girls group who met each other while they were there, probably all like late 40s,
early 50s. They were just wild, especially their ringleader, who I think was from Jersey or something
like that. She was, it was basically the real housewives of New Jersey, like, Seagraids spin off
that they tried to launch on E or something like that. That's essentially who these ladies were. They were nice, but just that one in
particular, she was wild. Hopefully she never finds the show. I don't know. I
don't remember what we told her or not. And she certainly doesn't remember. She was
extremely toasted. So that was Cancun. That was our trip to Mexico my first
time, but it's good to be back. It's good to be able to just,
you know, pull that faucet wide open and take a chug. I want to give a quick shout out to our
sponsors and then we're going to do Paladromes trivia and then we're going to, we're going to
extremely shift gears here into a new direction. Base off of something that happened this past
week. And also I'll mention the NFL draft round one was last night,
round two starts in about half an hour at the time of this recording.
My picks were way off.
Let's just put it that way.
But who's going to predict, you know, the Texans drafted two
and then traded back to get number three?
That was crazy.
Other weird things that happened, like the Bears and Eagle
swapping picks and the Bears missing on a Jalen Carter
Obviously the craziest thing in the night will levis not getting drafted at all
He just kept falling and falling and then you finally get to the Vikings and you're like wow the Vikings are actually gonna
Take will levis and then they kept passing or they passed on him
By the way in case you're not
Really a hardcore NFL fan,
but you do support the show and support the Minnesota Vikings,
perhaps.
We selected Jordan Addison,
wide receiver from originally PIT,
and then transferred to USC.
So wide receiver, two-season is here, baby,
someone to pay with Justin Jefferson.
But if you're curious, hey, how to, Quinn,
how did your PICS fare from last week's show
to the actual result? And it was very poor. We'll just leave it at that. I
want to give a shout out to our sponsors, Home Pride Oregon, when you need your home
inspecting and essential organ, you got to call someone who's saved, certified, someone
who you can trust. Call the experts at Home Pride Oregon, Steve, 541, 410, 031, 6,
or visit home pride organ dot com. Again, that's 541, 410, 031, 616 or visit home pride organ dot com again that's 514-0316 or visit home pride
organ dot com home pride organ inspection perfection also our friends at the Samson Q2U
series we are still using our second gen not our third gen Samson here but it's holding
it out pretty well crisp clear audio quality genesis access to this Leviticus numbers
deuteronomy penitook and the New Testament and all those minor and
major prophets in between.
When God speaks, He uses Samson.
And finally, of course, they're good friends.
Cuts by Q, just sitting in a nice little neck shave.
You know, that's something you can get.
We'll give you the hot towel treatment.
I got like, I have at least like four or five towels I could use.
I'll stick them in the oven in a, you know, in like a pot of water or something.
That's, you know, that's luxury service. And I'll only, I won't even, we'll keep that in our $20 flat rate.
I'll just maybe be racist and get kind of pissed off at you if you don't tip, though.
Can Coon style, okay? Even though even if you already tipped at the start, okay? So,
when you need a fresh do something
snappier new called the experts at Cuts by Q.
Obviously none of that was based off
of recent personal experience.
By the way, we're working on a big gulp diet coke over here.
Not drinking right now, unfortunately have a work call at 730, which is just
I got squeezed into a tough spot where the availability for this student I'm working with was like
7 p.m. to
7 p.m. Friday to like
10 a.m. Saturday and I was just like
There's not a good option, right?
10 a.m. Saturday and I was just like, there's not a good option, right?
And either cuts into your Friday night and you can't really do anything, can't go out or anything on a Friday or you kind of got to wake up and not run
until after that on a Saturday morning.
For me, I just, I guess I value the run a little bit more, getting it out of the way
in the morning, coming home and relaxing.
Today's paladrum of the day and trivia question
that are both Mexico-related.
Today's paladrum of the day as you might have guessed
is in Espanol.
Apparently this is a song, I don't know what it means
because I don't know what this verb is,
but here is your paladrum of the day, it's a phrase.
Anita, lava, latina.
And that's la, space, tina.
So like the tina, not latina.
Anita, lava, la, tina.
Sound like one of those older people on Wheel of Fortune making sure that they get things
very exact.
We were watching an episode.
I don't know if it was Wednesday or Thursday.
I guess it was Wednesday. I missed Wheel's very exact. We were watching an episode, I don't know if it was Wednesday or Thursday. I guess it was Wednesday.
And I missed Wheel of Fortune yesterday,
where when I'm all for slowing it down as you solve
and makes you get it right,
you don't wanna rush through obviously
and effort up, like I'm all for that.
But this lady who was solving really took it to extremes,
it was literally Anita, lava, lava,
Tina.
And I think the biggest thing was the puzzle
was one of the biggest puzzles I've ever seen.
They had to bring in a second board
just to fit all the letters.
And so Pat made a comment.
It was like, that was the longest saw we've ever had.
And I, you know, I've said,
no one's keeping track of that stuff.
But it had to have been a solid,
I would guess about 10 seconds from start to finish, which
is, feels like a long time in a 22-minute show.
Our trivia question of the day, we're going to put, let's, we never do this, but let's
pre-requit this with a difficulty level.
Let's go one to 10.
I'm going to give this like a three.
Okay, but here we go.
So we were just in Mexico,
we were just in the Yucatan Peninsula.
That's my and country baby.
So here we go.
It's just going to be filling the blank.
I'm just reading it right here
from the Wikipedia page.
I didn't doll this up in any way.
The first contact between the Mayan Empire
and European explorers came in 1502
during the fourth voyage of blank,
this person essentially,
when his brother Bartholomew encountered a Mayan canoe.
Several Spanish expeditions followed in 1517
and 1519 making landfall in various parts
of the Yucatan coast.
So again, I'm looking for the person, the explorer whose fourth voyage was the first recorded
European contact with the Mayan Empire.
One more time, the first contact between the Mayan Empire and the European explorers came
in in 1502 during the fourth voyage of this explorer
when his brother Bartholomew encountered a canoe.
Yada, yada, yada.
So I'm asking whose fourth voyage encounter the Mayans?
We're gonna reveal the answer now.
It was Christopher Columbus.
And the reason I gave that a three
on the difficulty scale is just because
we all know Christopher Columbus
first hit America 1492. It's a classic rhyme. So I just gave you a year or 10 years later,
fourth voyage. To me, it's like, who else are you going to guess, right? There's no one else
that early. Cortez is the next big one that comes, but he's like 15, 15-ish, like it's either 15-12 or 15-17 exactly,
but I think, so it's like you gotta go before that.
And of course Cortez is the Aztec, not the Mayans.
So, I feel like if you have a basic grasp
on the age or exploration, then that one,
hopefully wasn't too hard.
So there you go, Christopher Columbus, a classic polarizing figure in many cultures.
I guess he's probably not very polarizing in like, or wasn't very polarizing for the
Mayans, right?
He probably brought like syphilis and stole their maze ma i z e. So he's probably less polarizing
and more just universally heated. But I don't know every year every year without fail Columbus
Day rolls around. Of course now it's it's dual Columbus Day and Indigenous People's Day, which
is fantastic. But there's always going to be some group, whether it's the Italians or the
mega Republicans who are like, oh, you can't take away Columbus Day and it's like,
who cares? I just want the day off. And I don't think I don't think I've ever had
the day off Columbus Day before. I don't remember in high school. Like, did we get
Columbus Day off? I don't think so. But I can't really remember. Anyways, shifting
gears for the last couple minutes here. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this
but it might plant the seeds for a crazy
theme episode in the future.
In case you missed it and I certainly did.
A couple days ago, I think this was like Tuesday of this week, maybe.
Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey
Oscar-winning actor, Matthew McConaughey, excuse me, came out with a six and a half hour live stream
titled The Art of Living, not Living Living,
L-I-V-I-N apostrophe.
I don't really know how to describe it,
and I've jumped around in the six and a half hour live stream
and seen some of it.
It's essentially a self-help seminar, if you will.
And let me just try to replicate it.
And what I am toying the idea with,
what I am toying with the idea of
is doing my own bean town podcast,
self-help seminar now.
I'm not gonna do 6 and a half hours.
In Matthew McConaughey didn't do that by himself.
He had guests and pauses and bathroom breaks and all that stuff.
But let me just give you a little taste.
And if you wanna go watch it for yourself
or part of it, literally just YouTube,
Matthew McConaughey Art of Living,
the big problem with this is that at the end,
it turns into a sales pitch.
Basically, you got to
spend $397 to get more art of living. And it wasn't, it just wasn't advertised that way.
So people got really pissed off. Understandably, why is Matthew McConaughey charging $397?
My favorite part of this is that there it is.
There's multiple times throughout this live stream
where to paint the scene essentially,
to paint the picture, to set the scene,
Matthew McConney is sitting down with a bongo
in between his legs.
He's reading live stream comments.
The idea essentially,
people are sharing in the stream comments things that are weighing
them down, right, or like keeping them back from living their best life, living, not
living.
So, some of the ones I just saw, we just, Rachel and I just looked at this like an hour
ago.
Some of them were, you know, common like the system, the man, money problems. Another, there's this one in math.
So Matthew McConney is just sitting there playing his bongo.
He's just reading these.
And they're kind of rhythmic, like some of them are kind of not.
But then one person was just like my daughter.
He's just reading all this live on air.
And this whole thing is just very bizarre.
It's almost like it felt like
Scientological almost, which I don't know if anyone has ever used that full word
before. But basically he's got like the bongo music going and it's kind of
hoki. It's kind of weird. It's like he's just you got it. You you gotta let go for yourself.
You have to learn to be selfish.
He had a cross over the bridge of troubles
and join the other side of you.
You have to believe in yourself.
He had a go do that next thing for you.
He got to let all these troubles just melt away.
So put in the live stream comments.
What's bugging you?
What's bothering you?
The system.
Working.
Your aunt.
Bad weather.
The Z key on your keyboard keeps coming unstuck.
He got an old MacBook from 2013.
It don't run so good no more.
He go to a bad cabaret in Mexico and they serve you sparkling grape juice and say that there's alcohol in it
But we don't think there is and then it's not really cabaret
It's basically just karaoke and they bring you some sort of weird beef dish because it's kind of a dinner show
And there's no menu and you just get served whatever you get served in it basically looks kind of like dog food
But you're you're so hungry. You're basically looks kind of like dog food, but
You're you're so hungry. You're just gonna kind of eat it no matter what you gotta let that go folks
I Don't know other stuff like that. Well keep this as if I didn't mention this before
In case you're wondering you want to go listen to this for yourself,
this is on YouTube, this great music. I just found it before we started recording.
It's called Bongo Madness, Royalty Free Music, Instrumental, Creative Commons Music.
21 likes? Well, 22 now. Bongo Madness, check it out. not I'm not kidding. We'll let the music play out there. It's got a minute left
That's essentially what we're working with so I guess if we want to get creative here on the bean town podcast we can
You you want to be able to parody it without just copying it. That's the ultimate
You know tightrope to walk
But we look we all know Matthew McConaughey's a little strange little weird kind of like Woody Harrelson
It's if you ever watched a true detective season one you kind of get that sense that they're both little kind of nutty
But in real life they're nutty too
But I always I always help Matthew McConney in like a pretty high esteem like you know, he's kind of a stoner but
He seems like a really genuinely good guy and I still think he
might be but then he comes out and does something just bad shit crazy like this and you're just kind
of like what on earth if it was here's it I guess here's my thing with me I think we're gone he
thank you bongo man is here's my thing with art of living if If it was just the 6.5 hour live stream
and he was just like, he was just trying to be like, empowering and all that fun stuff,
then I'm like, okay, you know, that's weird but great.
But the whole like pay $397 to do more of this,
like almost like MLM, skimish kind of thing.
Just feels so weird.
Like, and then he, oh, I forgot to mention this, he brings out Tony Robbins at the end
to do some more self-help, self-empowerment.
I, you know, if it was, here's, here's my thing.
If that was Tim Robbins, then you got my $397, but I'm not as big on Tony.
I go more for the Oscar winner.
So he had, yeah, Matthew McConney,
if he had another Oscar winner, Tim Robbins,
then that would have, I would have paid the $3.97 for that.
So last thing here is we wrap up here
because I'm feeling good to go.
This is a nice tight 30 plus.
On the topic of Tim Robbins, I mentioned Oscar winner, but I like to just float, float
that term out there, that label out there to anyone who's ever been in a movie sometimes,
just to hype them up.
But I'm pretty sure Tim Robbins actually is an Oscar winner.
So here's our unplanned second bean town podcast trivia question of the week, and you can
always email us after the fact.
Let us know how you scored today.
And you can give yourself, have a bonus point.
If you already knew Christopher Columbus had a brother named Bartholomew who discovered
a Mayan canoe.
So however you want to keep track, go for it.
It's like, wait, wait, don't tell me the points don't really matter.
But our trivia question, and I'm not going to phrase this elegantly.
Okay, here we go.
And this is what I thought it was,
so I'm proud of myself for knowing.
Tim Robbins is an Oscar winner.
He won the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award
and Golden Globe for his role in this 2003 film.
So his biggest film that people probably know
is Shawshank Shank Redemption 1994.
I don't know if he was Oscar nominated for that.
He also has an Academy Award nomination for Best Director for Deadman Walking,
which I've never actually seen before.
Let's scroll down here to the awards section.
See if there are any other Oscar gnomes we got to know about.
Nope, so it's just that he wasn't nominated for,
he was not nominated for Shawshank Redemption,
which I don't know if that was controversial at the time,
but he was nominated for Best Director for Deadman Walking,
which is 1995, never seen it, Susan Sarandon, Sean Penn.
So your clue is related to that.
So we're asking which movie did he win best supporting actor for?
It was directed by Sean Penn.
I've seen it once.
I liked it.
Other members of this cast, so it was directed by Sean Penn,
I believe.
Let's confirm that.
Oh, just gave you a bad clue.
Not directed by Sean Penn, but starring Sean Penn,
directed by Clint Eastwood. Okay, so 2003 film, directed by Clint Eastwood, starring Sean Penn,
of course, Tim Robbins, and then Kevin Bacon. Those are kind of the big three in this movie,
but it also has Lawrence Fishbur and Marsha Gay Heart and Ann Lora Linney. So just a crazy good cast.
also has Lawrence Fishbur and Marsha Gay Heart and Ann Laura Linney. So just a crazy good cast.
It's a good movie set in Boston kind of unsettling at times.
It has to do with rape and power and just all those kind of fun things.
So of course, if you don't know, here comes the answer that is Mystic River, which is basically
what I, when I was younger
in fantasy football and things really weren't going my way.
I would change team names to try to give the team a boost.
And I think I had Philip Rivers as my quarterback.
So for a hot second, like a couple weeks,
my fantasy football team name,
this was probably back in like 2010,
was Mystic Rivers.
And at the time I had never seen Mystic River, but I have since.
And it's a solid, solid movie. If you're looking, if you're just looking for like a really, you know, holds up well, excellent cast, you know, it's going to be two hours of your time.
But you, you want to just like see a legit good movie that you haven't seen before. Mr. Griver, good pick, another good option, training day with Denzel and what's his name?
Ethan Hawk, handsome Hawk. Those are my popcorn picks for this week. New segment on the
Bean Tompah kiss. Guys, that's what I had for you today. I am going to wrap up here so that I can
go watch a little bit of that second round of the NFL draft,
which the Minnesota Vikings do not have a pick.
But we'll see how it plays out.
