Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David Furness. Welcome to my show. Quinn David Furness presents the Beantown podcast for Friday, August 30th, 2024. Last show of August, Labor Day weekend. It's always an exciting time. You got your fantasy football drafts coming up or already happening for some folks League year starting I am putting my feet up finally It's been a heck of a week We call it immersion week where I teach where we spend the entire week taking a class of students around the city of Chicago Southside Westside Eastside the city of Chicago, south side, west side, east side, underside, the underbelly, aka lower wacker drive. We didn't actually go on lower wacker or there were no sanctioned trips. Maybe some students
Starting point is 00:00:53 found their way there, but it really is Monday through Friday, just go, go, go. A lot of time, a lot of transportation, a lot of steps. And of course here in Chicago, some of you are probably still dealing with it, east of us, a crazy heat wave that rolled through Monday, Tuesday, and even now it's not as oppressively hot, but extremely muggy, like 85% humidity we're talking about. So it's just everything's always kind of damp. It rained last night and then we were sitting on the lawn at J Pritzker Pavilion for Jazz Fest only a few hours ago and just you stand up and you can't tell if you're, well, I, you know, I got a blanket going, but you stand up, you can't tell if your booty is soaked because of sweat, because of groundwater, right?
Starting point is 00:01:41 The water table in the aquiferous Aquiferous ground you always see those cool diagrams in your seventh grade physical science class You know water all over the place But let's keep going here. It'd be just a long week and I'm finally worth. It's a three-day weekend guys congratulations We made it Labor Day weekend. I It's always one of my favorite times of the year. It's mostly tied to just football, but I mean getting a three-day weekend The football season starting there's so much hope fantasy football drafts one of my favorite things to do
Starting point is 00:02:16 I've been preparing for like two months at this point. I was telling my class we were talking about you know, what's something? Silly or stupid that you are really into spend way too much time on or just sharing as a class. I don't even remember if that was a topic, but I ended up going down like a 20 second rabbit hole on my fantasy football obsession and just the amount of the sheer amount of time that I have invested into content in regards to mock drafts and podcasts. And it's not just fantasy football, it's the NFL as well. But it all comes to a head. I got three drafts in the next five days. I've got my auction draft tomorrow. We've got the iconic Great White North's 19th annual draft happening Monday night, Labor Day proper. See you there. And
Starting point is 00:03:06 then we also have a brand new league, the Voodoo Lounge, featuring members of my fiance's family, extended family coming together first time ever, fantasy football league for a bunch of those folks. So it's going to be exciting. Listening discretion is advised when you're listening to the Bean Town podcast. Number one, we'll give you some language. Number two, this podcast is objectively terrible. Hello to my good friends in Pakistan. Hello, Hyderabad. Hello, Karachi. Hello, Bombay, Mumbai, we call it now, to be politically correct. Speaking of politically correct, we'll talk JD Vance in a second.
Starting point is 00:03:43 He was not very politically correct today. It's not even politically correctable, we'll talk JD Vance in a second. He was not very politically correct today. It's not even politically correct. It was more just being a dumbass. But Pakistan, thank you for making us the 112th ranked comedy podcast in the great Islamic Republic of Pakistan. I also just while we are on the topic here, not on the topic, but just because we're gonna dive into some rabbit holes here. We're gonna be talking this week on the topic here, or not on the topic, but just because we're going to dive into some rabbit holes here. We're going to be talking this week on the campaign trail. We got a trivia question for you. I've got some ideas. If you got a bachelor weekend on your own, not a bachelor party, but a party or a weekend rather, where your fiance is out of town on the West Coast for four or five days and you're just kind of hanging out by yourself,
Starting point is 00:04:25 and you finally get the chance to kick your feet up. What are some ways you can spend the time, pass the time, if you will? So we're gonna be getting into that in a moment here, but I do want to, before I forget, I wanna shout out our sponsors, because they keep this show on the air week after week. And you can help with that too.

But I just want to say get well soon to my dad, Steve. You know him from Home Pride, Oregon. to my dad Steve, you know from Home Pride Oregon, had a little surgery today. Don't have many details, but I believe everything is okay. He's resting and he's got a Doobie Brothers concert in a couple of days. And frankly, some things are just very important in life, especially if Michael McDonald is playing with them. So shout out to Home Pride Oregon, 541-403-0316, or email homeprideregon.gmail.com.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Home Pride Oregon inspection perfection. I also want to mention our good friends at Cuts by Q, whether you're looking for a buzz cut, a bowl cut, a mullet cut, you know what I was reading? It was a place in Hawaii. So somehow I've been recently beginning recommended the Visit Hawaii subreddit pages something like that. It's not just Hawaii. It's specifically for traveling there for tourists and the question more or less this this this
Starting point is 00:05:57 Reddit post was more or less. What's a place in Hawaii you actually would not visit or like recommended tourists, whatever it was and you actually would not visit or like recommended tourists, whatever it was. And so people were listing places. I was just kind of casually browsing because I'd been to Oahu and I was just kind of curious. And the top response was this city on the... It's not even a city, it's a census designated place, if you will, on the Southwest shore of Oahu. And from what I could gather, it was kind of a controversial opinion to say, don't visit but the big thing is it's a large There's there is a large homeless Encampment there and the only reason I mentioned it is I looked up the name and I can't recall what it is right now I bet if you Google a while who homeless encampment
Starting point is 00:06:37 Southwest you would find it or maybe it would be people whose flights get delayed at Daniel K What is it? It's like auyo, something like that. International airport there in Honolulu next to Pearl Harbor. Inari too. No, that's the guy who did the Revenant and Birdman, but maybe they're related. Probably not. But I can't rule it out. 100 percent. I looked up the name of this place or like, I was just reading about the census designated area. And the name translates to, and oh gosh, I forgot it, which is embarrassing. But the only reason I connected it to Cuts by Q, it was like, it was like water mullet or land of the water mullet or bad mullet or something like that. And I did a double
Starting point is 00:07:22 take when I was looking at it on my phone. I couldn't believe that. I didn't even know Hawaiians knew about mullets. I thought this kind of originated in like Edmonton in the 1950s and kind of spread from there. Shout out to all my Alberta fans. I once met right at the beginning of the Bean Town podcast towards its inception. Speaking of Inuit, a great Inuit film, Inception. I once played trivia with a guy who was from...
Starting point is 00:07:55 He was either from Edmonton and Alberta or he was from Manitoba. I can't remember. One of those provincial prairie provinces, as you might know them as, I was playing downtown, not in my normal spot in Baltimore, but just kind of the guy who ran my normal trivia spot, Mother's Fet Hill. That was his part-time gig, and he did it two or three nights a week.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Shout out to Ian, Scotland's finest trivia host. And so this was this other place in Fowles. Fowles Point is the name of a neighborhood along the water in Baltimore. And I was playing, and Ian knew I was there, knew I was playing by myself. And there was this other tourist guy, this Canadian, who came in.
Starting point is 00:08:38 And Ian was like, hey, do you want to play with this guy, meaning, or he was talking to the guy. So you want to play with this guy, meaning me, because me and Ian knew each other. Killer story going on right here. And so we ended up playing and I ended up sharing with him the Beantown podcast. And I don't know, seven years later, probably like a 40 year old white dude from potentially Edmonton, if you're still listening, thank you for sharing the show with all your Canadian buddies up there. The Mounties, as they're known. Mountie translates from buddy in Quebecian French, I believe.
Starting point is 00:09:11 All that is to say, when you need a fresh, do something snappy or new, call the experts at Cuts by Q. And then, of course, a good segue here, the Samson Q2U series has got crisp clear audio quality. It will, you could do a spoken word or just an audiobook version of the Old Testament. It will be longer than the Scott Farrell autobiography. Or not, it's not an autobiography. Scott Farrell wrote an autobiography, but he called it a biography, even though he wrote it. And it's Scott Farrell Scott Farrell's biography or tale tales tears and triumphs from the stage and it's in the other room sitting on my bookshelf right now I might have to whip it open and scan a couple passages just like I was doing with the
Starting point is 00:09:57 Old Testament today we're gonna we're gonna jump into that in a second here but of course Samson Q2U series when God God speaks, he uses a Samson. And I just want to mention, we're on two beer energy right now. And that doesn't mean I've had two beers. It means I hopped in the shower when I got from Jazzfest an hour ago. It's a late show.
Starting point is 00:10:18 I feel like Stephen Colbert right now. It's 8 40 PM, and I have not had supper yet. But I was like, I want to do this podcast. I want to kick off the three-day weekend, right? So I grabbed an infinity hero from our friends at Revolution brewing It's a nice little IPA. I had a couple sips right before the shower I'm a big fan of the shower beer, but the way my shower is set up currently I don't have a good sort of crag ledge or nook from which to I don't have a good sort of crag, ledge, or nook from which to successfully keep the beer in the shower without it getting doused, if you will, or rehydrated like you might do
Starting point is 00:10:56 if you're in the military and you're in the Iraq War. We once went, this is a chapter in my book that I am working on that has not been worked on in like two years. So don't ask for updates. Check out the website, beanthumbpodcastyahoo.com. We once had this, like, I don't know what it was, pro-military kind of night at church in the gym. And I couldn't tell you, like, I should be able to because I'm supposed to be writing a chapter on it in my book. But it's more of a broad thing about growing up in the Bush administration and being homeschooled and conservative Christian. Long story short, someone, all my Rock Church OG listeners out there can fill us in on this email. It's bintownpodcast.yahoo.com and it's b beanthumbpodcastyahoo.com. It's beanthumbpodcastyahoo.com. Basically, it was like a buffet, but the buffet was like
Starting point is 00:11:47 the military dehydrated food where it's like a hot pocket with beans inside. And you're probably listening, thinking, what the, like, what the hell? Like, what is, what's the, you're at, this is a church event? Like, what does this mean? And my response to you is, yep, I feel the same way. I have no idea. I don't know, were we like welcoming back a troop to the congregation or something? I have no idea what was going on with it. But Infinity Heroes is our first beer,
Starting point is 00:12:20 and we have our good friends up at Surly Brewing in Minneapolis. It's chilling in the koozie right now. I thought about just keeping it in the fridge until I was ready for the second one, but I didn't want to get up from the couch. You know how that can be. So I stuck it in my Texas State Bobcats koozie, courtesy of brother of the show Walter Furness, who has a PhD from Texas State, if you can believe it.
Starting point is 00:12:45 That's not a sleight on wealth. It's just a lot of people don't know that Texas State University is a school. It exists. So we're chilling the koozie. We're going to get to that in a second here. We don't want to get too cold. But I mentioned Samson. I mentioned the Old Testament a little bit earlier.
Starting point is 00:13:02 I've spent some time in churches, in and outside of churches this week. Again, I've been taking my class all around Chicago. We've been doing all sorts of excursions. Well, one of our, well, first and foremost, Wednesdays, the Dame Myra has concert series. Wednesdays, 12, 15 at one of my favorite churches, because I just feel spooked any time I think about it. It's the 17th Church of Scientists Chicago. I think it's 17th
Starting point is 00:13:29 But it's just the whole Church of Scientists thing is strange to me. I know it is not Scientology. I know their big thing is just like Basically being stupid about medicine and healing essentially that's like Church of Scientists and they're still like pretty legit Christians otherwise but just the whole scientist thing Scientology it's too close to me it just reminds me of this great funny or die clip that I I think Tom Cruise and the Scientologists I'm not kidding about this I think they legitimately like got it scrubbed from the internet because they are extremely powerful and all tied up in the Hollywood elite kind of like me but I haven't really crossed paths with them but there was a great Funny or Die clip
Starting point is 00:14:11 maybe 15ish years 10-15 years ago I was in college I think where they're in there the real clip that it drew upon was the Tom Cruise Scientology clip where he's like giving a speech at their big convention and saluting whatever their founder's name was. I was going to say F. Murray Abraham, but that's not quite right. It will come to me later. Joel Ross, no, that was the music director of Conorai Boys Choir growing up. Sometimes you're just like, oh, we'll move past this and come back to it, and then El Ron Hubbard. I was literally typing into Google Scientology
Starting point is 00:14:56 founder before I even got halfway through Scientology. It just came to me. Just like Scientology came to El Ron Hubbard in a dream, I think. But the clip was from Temple of Doom when Harrison Ford and Jonathan Kee Kwan and Spielberg's wife first come across Kate Capshaw, first come across the thuggies, if you will, right? They get attacked in their palace room and they find a secret passageway and they go through bugs and stuff and they come across the, I was going to say, Ra's al Ghul leading the ceremony, but that's not his name. It's Mola Ram. Batman heads freaking out right now. Nolan fans freaking out for the second time right now because
Starting point is 00:15:40 they didn't know that I was joking that in a retweet directed inception you guys can just take a chill pill and instead of it being Mola Ram doing his weird shit where he takes the heart out of the Indian peasants chest it was just Tom Cruise speaking at the Scientology convention and the best part is like the very end of the clip Tom Cruise like pops up from behind the rock and grabs Jonathan Kee Kwan and Kate Capshaw and he's got his big billion dollar smile going and it's like a jump scare. God I wish I could find that clip. I'm going to do another deep dive tonight after I finish this second beer to see if I can figure it out because that was just so good. But I was sitting
Starting point is 00:16:21 so that's the Church of Scientists not not Scientology, but could be. Today we are in a Presbyterian church and we're actually going to do a Presbyterian quiz for our trivia in a little bit here. It is an unvetted quiz. It's an online quiz, top 10 Presbyterian trivia questions. I know there's a lot of those, so to just pair it down to 10 was going to be tricky, but thankfully we have a website that did it for us. But it got me thinking you know I was listening to their their concert today and they do different concerts every Friday they're free concerts great series 12 10 p.m. every day or every Friday. But today was like show tunes basically it was a female singer and a pianist and the
Starting point is 00:17:02 singer was fantastic I mean she was excellent but and I'm not a show tunes hater I know people who are like oh Broadway yuck I'm not like if it's done well I enjoy it there's a great clip of at the Tony's ten years ago or something around there there's a Broadway revival of South Pacific or not sorry it wasn't South Pacific although there was a song from South Pacific today at the concert. It was Anything Goes. And what's her name?
Starting point is 00:17:30 She's like the most famous Broadway actress, was the lead in that play. And they do a great live at the Tonys. It's like the five best nominations for best musical revival or whatever it is they do there. You know, they do a performance just like you would at the Oscars with the best song, right?
Starting point is 00:17:55 Like Billie Eilish gets to go up there with her creepy like brother, stepbrother porn kind of thing and sing a song. And now I have to figure out what this lady's name is, but I love that clip. It's like four minutes. It's a great dance number. Anything Goes If You Don't Know, which comes back perfectly to Temple of Doom. Look at the connections we're making, because Temple of Doom opens with Kate Capshaw doing Anything Goes, but in Mandarin, what a connection that was unintentionally made. What is this lady's name? Sutton Foster, there it is.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Go look up anything goes, Sutton Foster, Tonys, it'll knock your socks off. Point being, I love that kind of stuff. But if it's a whole hour of show tunes, I just kind of like, can you start to lose? And the other thing, too, it's just the piano accompaniment, which is never that interesting. No shade to pianists.
Starting point is 00:18:51 I'm one of you all, but it just kind of, you know. So, there's a point to this story. That being, my mind started to wander a little bit, but I wanted to save my phone battery. So after playing a little Duolingo, bumping my streak up to 240 whatever we are however many days Have elapsed in the year. That's my streak I turned to the Holy Bible, and I just started at Genesis And I started flipping and I appreciated this isn't a novel concept, but this Bible had the, I don't know what you would call this.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Obviously, there are chapters and verses. But this one also had the headers for, oh, this section of text is going to be about this, like Jacob steals Esau's blessing, for example, or Adam and Eve bang in the garden, for example. These are the types of headings. So I was using that to do kind of some speed reading. And just here are some notes in no particular order that I took from what I was reading, and just kind of some surprises.
Starting point is 00:20:03 First up, did you know, maybe I'm just out of the loop on this. I always thought this was more of a kind of a middle of Genesis kind of thing, but Cain murders Abel in Genesis four. The fourth chapter of Genesis, in my mind, I'm thinking, because Genesis is still pretty long. In my mind, I'm thinking, oh, you know, Genesis is going to take us a little while
Starting point is 00:20:21 to get going with the whole garden of Eden, paradise, the snake thing. There's like a side story, I'm pretty sure, where like the serpent and Eve were totally hooking up. Cuckolding Adam, if you will. There's an adult term for you. But turns out they get right to banging and having kids and Cain murders Abel already in Genesis 4. It really comes up fast with you. And then if you're curious what happens to the rest of Genesis, because it's like 40 chapters or something, it's a lot of Jacob stuff.
Starting point is 00:20:52 There's just a lot of Jacob stuff that is not that interesting. It's like after he eats Esau's soup, and he steals the birthright, and he dresses up in sheep's clothing or whatever. I didn't read that closely. I can't give you a summary on that. Other things. Jacob, this sentence caught my eye because it got me thinking and hopefully Rachel's listening because this is my idea. Jacob had 70 sons. Not 17, 70 sons. You know, there was a song in the Christian evangelical church that I grew up with. Kind of an OG classic. We call it Father Abraham. It went something like this. You know, Father Abraham had many sons. Many sons had Father
Starting point is 00:21:41 Abraham. And I am one of them. And and so are you so let's all praise the Lord you know pretty complex melodies harmonies a lot of polyrhythms but no one said anything about Jacob's son so did Abraham what are we what's the over under on Abraham I mean was he plus 70 under 70 you would think that if they made a song specifically for Abraham, then it would have to be more than Jacob, right? You got to populate the earth after that big flood, which is also like Genesis 6. The flood comes quick. I feel, you know, we talk a lot of shit, well-earned shit, about God. Just coming
Starting point is 00:22:24 back to this flood thing for a second. And it usually comes down to the book of Exodus, which I'll get to in a second here. But, dude, what's the... Talk about animal cruelty! Dude, God floods the earth because... Because what? Like... Because Noah was seen naked by his son, because... like because Noah was seen naked by his son because even the serpent were hooking up like what what was the deal what was so bad that you had to flood the entire earth and here's my deal if you want to knock out all these humans that you just created because man was made in the image of God I mean that's that's pretty bullshitty right there but what I think about this you got this big flood. You only take two of every animal. And I heard the dolphins he took were both male.
Starting point is 00:23:10 And that's why we have gay dolphins and gay frogs, as Alex Jones taught us. But there are probably like a billion baby sea otters that got wiped out. Because even though they can swim, when I'm thinking about this flood that covered the earth, I'm thinking like 100 foot tidal waves and I don't think otters are equipped for that. Maybe the ocean ones, probably not the river ones though.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Little baby flamingos, have you ever seen those? They kind of look like ducklings and you don't realize they're flamingos until they get older and kind of look like ducklings and you don't realize they're flamingos until they get older and kind of uglier. Flamingos aren't really ugly, it's just the lanky legs thing is kind of strange to me. Or a one day old new one day old newborn golden retriever puppy. There had to be at least seven of those and God couldn't take, couldn't even take two of them because they're not sexually active and they have to reproduce. And I suppose you could take the ones
Starting point is 00:24:09 that weren't sexually active and just assume that they're going to be whatever the opposite of sterile is, but that's a heady risk to take. I don't even know what the adjective heady means, H-E-A-D-Y, but it's a heady risk. So add it to my list of grievances with Jehovah. There's another Christian song, I'm trying to remember how it goes, because the bridge
Starting point is 00:24:39 was like, there's no God like Jehovah, there's no God like Jehovah, there's no God like Jehovah. There's no God like Jehovah. There's no God like Jehovah. I think the chorus on that one is, behold, he comes riding on the clouds, shining like the sun as a trumpet sound. So lift your voice. It's a year of her Jubilee. And out of Zion's hill, Zion's hill maybe? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Salvation comes. Zion's hill could totally be a, I was gonna say WB, but CW show, right? We got one tree hill, we can have Zion's hill. I'm imagining a cemetery on top of Zion's hill and that's where the teenagers go in the show and they drink and they make out and Esther gets pregnant and it's a whole big thing for half a season. Jacob at 70 Sons. The 10 Commandments. Okay, I actually, we got to go to the Google.
Starting point is 00:25:34 I've been doing this off the top of my head. But there are bonus laws. So when I, up until now, or up until eight hours ago at the Fourth Presbyterian Church of Chicago. I was under the relative impression, Moses goes up to the top of Mount Sinai. He gets the Ten Commandments, we all know them, they're on the stone tablets. Honor thy father and thy mother. Don't kill, I think was one of them. Something about crypto, maybe.
Starting point is 00:26:07 But there's a lot of bonus laws, and rather than write all of them down, I just wrote the chapters. So Exodus 21, if you want to follow along at home, I always loved when they're giving the sermon. It's like, open up your Bibles to this chapter so you can read with me. But then they finally got smart and they learned how to use PowerPoint, so I don't have to bring my Bible, just throw it up on the screen. I don't want to lug my Bible from home. I don't want to lug my calculus textbook every day, leave it in my locker. Well, churches don't have lockers so I'm just going to leave my Bible at home.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Got like one more sip of the infinity here, then go into the surly furious. Okay, Exodus 21, here we go. And we're just going to kind of scan through these. So these are additional commandments. Not the 10, everyone knows the 10. There were more commandments that God bequeathed upon Moses. And then we got another, you know, let's talk about the Moses thing right now here, because these other laws will be a great, great way to wrap things up. Here's a bonus trivia question for you before the actual trivia questions. I learned something new.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Here's, here's my thinking. If you, before I read the Bible today, first time in a handful of years, if you would ask say hey what book does Moses die in? Excuse me, I probably would have said Exodus. It just feels like the end of his story, right? The end of Exodus. And it's fitting, right? It's kind of good storytelling, right? It starts with Moses leading his people out of Israel, and it ends with Moses dying without being able to lead his people to the promised land, right? It's kind of poetic. But that's not the case.
Starting point is 00:27:55 We're going to reveal the answer in a second here, because I just thought of something else crazy. If God really wrote the Bible, if you will, just shit storyteller or Not storyteller so much terrible character development because going back to this whole Cane enable thing if you go read it and I don't have it in front of me open up your Bibles to Genesis 4 if you're following along at home
Starting point is 00:28:24 Literally the whole thing to happens in like three sentences me open up your Bibles to Genesis 4 if you're following along at home. Literally the whole thing happens in like three sentences. It's like, and then, you know, we got no backstory on these guys really, just that they're brothers. That's all we know. They're farmers, pretty much all we know. They're sons of Adam and Eve. They go out, Cain and Abel went out to the field. And then Cain slew Ab field. And then Cain slew
Starting point is 00:28:45 Abel. And then Cain has to come back home and deal with the repercussions. But it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa! Back it up! Beep, beep, beep! Why, why did he slew Abel? Legit question here. That is like, you could, God could have turned in the Old Testament in his college theater screenwriting 101 class he would have gotten an F. It's like hey you gotta have you got it there's got to be some sort of character motivation or at least at the end of Genesis we have to learn that Abel was actually spying for Satan the whole time and and Cain was in on he knew exactly what he was doing there's some sort of redemptive art but
Starting point is 00:29:32 it's not it's literally just like oh yeah he's gonna slay this guy we'll keep it going imagine if you were watching your favorite TV show and at the start of you know like the pilot of us imagine the shield okay my my friends in the shield know this if you haven't seen the shield is a minor spoiler but it literally happens in the pilot episode Vic Mackie Michael Chickless main character at the end of the first episode of the show he shoots and kills a cop Terry Crow Crowley, because Crowley was working inside with the FBI to gather dirt dirt on Vic more or less and Vic
Starting point is 00:30:14 figures it out and he gets a perfect situation in like a ho invasion kind of situation he takes out Crowley with the bad guy's gun If you're watching it first pilot episode it comes out of the blue although It's not completely you understand that shield Sean Ryan Rockford native shout-out already way Beating God in the screenwriting department because you know Why Vic Mackie killed Terry Crowley? We don't we didn't even know why Cain's the Wable. It's not, at least Jacob Nesaw, it's like the birthright thing,
Starting point is 00:30:49 you flesh it out a little bit, although I don't really, what the fuck is the point of a birthright? What is this, Game of Thrones? Like I'm ascending the throne, like just go out and get a job, okay? Like if you get the inheritance, cool. If you plan around it, if not,
Starting point is 00:31:03 well, at least you got a job. These guys in the Old Testament they never had jobs. Don't get me started on Job. But it comes all the way back the whole show seven seasons of The Shield more or less you're always sort of tied to this one moment for the pilot in some capacity and all the way to the very end it comes back literally the last episode there are repercussions for what happens to the pilot i don't recall at the end of revelation or the last book of the old testament which is i don't know habakkuk unclear it doesn't come back back like oh here's the repercussion for Kane slewing Abel it's just it's just
Starting point is 00:31:46 lazy lazy shit piss poor storytelling from God with that I finished my infinity hero in disgust let's come back to Exodus 21 and then we will visit the campaign trail briefly. So just here are some things from Exodus 21. Again, these were bonus commandments that you may not have been taught in school. If you buy, and I'm just literally reading from the top here, if you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years, but in the seventh year, he shall go free without paying anything. Well, that's nice. You know, your slave doesn't have to pay you to leave. That's good. If he comes alone, he is to go free alone. But if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him. Okay, good so far. If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or
Starting point is 00:32:43 daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master and Only the man shall go free. So basically you're a slave. You're there for six years your master gives you a hot buxom Levite to bang you have 70 sounds like Jacob in six years because there's a lot of quintuplets thrown in You're free, but oh, your kids and your wife, they're going back to the master. Reminds me of a great Philip Seymour Hoffman role, the master rip.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Kind of messed up, but if the servant declares, I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free, then his master must take him before the judges. Ooh, he shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. AWL. We don't even have time on this program today to look it up. We're gonna move right past it. Then he will be his servant for life. So just to summarize, your options are go free and leave your wife and children with the master who enslaved you, or be a servant for life. I guess you get to keep banging your buxom, what do you say, Levite, whatever tribe of Israel we picked, I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:33:59 Keep going here, verse 7, if a man, I haven't even read this, I don't know where this is going. But there's a section below here called personal injury. It's like a law firm billboard If a man sells his daughter as a servant she is not to go free as male servants do Okay, I'm just trying to follow this if she does not please the master That's a hand job who has selected her for himself. He must let her be redeemed I don't know what that means. He has no right to sell her to foreigners because he has broken faith with her I didn't follow that at all, but I hurt foreigners Come on baby can you do the dance? I'm hot blooded, I'm hot blooded.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Verse 9, if he slugs her for his son, okay, we're getting way too into the weeds here. It's like trying to read a NFL contract with bonuses and incentives and sign-on bonuses. If the Hebrew slave plays 75% of the snaps from week 9 on he shall go free But if not his wife is back to the master. I don't know Okay, there were other things I wanted to mention here Anyone who strikes a person with a fatal blow is to be put to death which is ironic because Moses killed a guy
Starting point is 00:35:20 This was just like a couple chapters ago However, if it is not done intentionally, but God lets it happen, they are to flee to a place I will designate. So God is literally like the guy in Breaking Bad, the vacuum cleaner guy, rest in peace, who helps Walter White go to New Hampshire. That's really the God role in this setup. So you can kill someone accidentally, but you can't just, it's not like you're gonna get a good lawyer and get off. You literally have to flee to a census designated place like that town on the southwest bank of Oahu. But if anyone schemes and kills someone deliberately, that person is to be taken from my altar and put to death. So good old fashioned capital
Starting point is 00:36:03 punishment. Anyone who attacks their father or mother is to be put to death. So, good old fashioned capital punishment. Anyone who attacks their father or mother is to be put to death. I think we pretty much got that in the Ten Commandments, so kind of a repeat there. God's run out of ideas. Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death. Oh, here's a great one. If people quarrel, great word, that's Q-U-A-R-R-E-L, call, and one person hits another with a stone or with their fist, you could probably have a stone in the fist, it's not made clear. And the victim does not die, but is confined to bed. The one who struck the blow will not be held liable if the other
Starting point is 00:36:47 person can get up and walk around outside with a staff. However, the guilty party must pay the injured person for any loss of time and see that the victim is completely healed." See that the victim is completely healed. What are you supposed to do, like take him to physical therapy on Mondays and Wednesdays? So yeah, basically you can stone someone and you can bring them within the brink of death. But if they can get up and walk around with the staff, you just got to drive them to PT and you're good to go. We could bring that law back. Oh, this is one of my, uh, this is one of my favorites and this has come up
Starting point is 00:37:29 There's a TV show that makes reference to this. I can't remember what it is, but it's good Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result But they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two since the slave is their property. And here's one of my favorite parts about that. It says as a direct result. So if you bash someone over the head and they get a concussion and they die
Starting point is 00:37:56 two years later from CTE, I don't know if that's a direct result. It's a murky gray area. You have to take it to the Jewish courts, the high courts, the high priests. Okay, here's some tooth for tooth, eye for eye stuff. I want to see if there is anything else here. I really wanted to... Oh, there's a... Here's a good one. Going back to the... God has a bad track record on... Track... Track-ord. I just combined track record into a fun word. Track-ord. God has a terrible truckered on animal cruelty
Starting point is 00:38:25 Verse 28 if a bull gores a man or woman to death the bull is to be stoned to death and its meat must not Be eaten. So just not only Animal cruelty is not at least eating good meat that could be a delicious ribeye But the owner of the bull will not be held responsible If however the bowl has had so again your bowl can gore someone and you're not responsible good stuff if however the bowl has had the habit of gore the habit of gore be a great horse name i should write this down hang on we're officially starting the 2025 eighth annual horse names list because that's such a good name I
Starting point is 00:39:11 just don't want to forget it habit of goreng there's no promise that it's gonna make the list but you just got to track this stuff as it comes up okay however if however the bull has the had the habit of gore in the owner has been warned. It's an official Warning unlike one of those stone tablets Okay And the owner has been warned but has not kept it penned up and it kills a man or woman the bull is to be Stoned and its owner also be put to death so no warnings You're off scot-free one warning or more you're put to
Starting point is 00:39:46 death so it's a thin line however if payment is demanded the owner may redeem his life this sounds like rules to the the the amazing race or something redeem his life however if payment is demanded the owner may redeem his life by the payment of whatever is demanded. So if like it could be like a penny. This law also applies that the goal bores gore bulls bull gore is a son or daughter. That's good to know. If the bull gore is a male or female slave, the owner must pay 30 shekels of silver to the master of the slave and the bull is to be stoned to death. and the bull is to be stoned to death. And then there's a little bit more, but my last one, just a good one here,
Starting point is 00:40:29 just oddly specific, godly specific. If anyone uncovers a pit or digs one and fails to cover it and an ox or a donkey falls into it, the one who opened the pit must pay the owner for the loss and take the dead animal in exchange. So I oxes and donkeys covered under that insurance policy does not say anything about uh go uh I was gonna say gores, algores, tipper gores. Uh doesn't say anything about bulls. So I think if your bull falls in, you're on the hook for
Starting point is 00:41:02 that. You're kind of screwed. But oxes and donkeys, you can get repercussions, if you will. That's not the word. Reparations is what I was looking for. So there you go. That was just as I was paging through the first couple pages of the Old Testament today. Came across some of those interesting facts, some biblical truths, if you will.
Starting point is 00:41:22 And we're going to open our surly, and we're going to hit the campaign trail briefly. All right. Time. Thanks for your patience. I had to set the mic down. I was trying to do a cool one-handed can opener, or just opening the can, essentially essentially with my hand and my index finger
Starting point is 00:41:48 but did not go very well so I had to get both hands involved. I was just thinking about we made a hand job reference earlier. I don't know what that was about. Something in Exodus. We also made a cuckold reference on the show today. Hey it's after hours. We almost never, it's 9, 11 p.m. rest in peace. We almost never record after seven-ish
Starting point is 00:42:09 is usually the cutoff. But it's a special Labor Day edition of the Beantown podcast. This week on the campaign trail, look, there were some other things that I was gonna talk about. And I, well, I hadn't planned to talk because I hadn't researched yet. Excuse me, but this came up today, I believe, or maybe it was yesterday, maybe
Starting point is 00:42:28 my news cycle was just a little bit slow, but JD Vance, we all know him, we all love him. So you recall, I believe it 2007 was the year, something like that, Miss Teen USA, South Carolina. It's an infamous clip. She had some troubles with the geography questions. And it was funny at the time. It was funny when it came out. It's still kind of funny in a vacuum. Here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:42:54 So JD Vance, ironically, not about Trump, but about Kamala Harris, posts this picture, or sorry, this clip of Miss Teen South Carolina, 2007, whatever year it was, posts that clip on Twitter and says, oh, this was Kamala Harris sharing her policy updates earlier, or whatever the caption was. I don't know. But it was supposed to be, oh, this is Kamala rambling, which is funny because Kamala is pretty well spoken and Trump is infamously poorly spoken.
Starting point is 00:43:29 So here's where it takes off. Then Miss Teen USA comes out and is like, or I don't even know if she said anything, maybe this was just common knowledge, but basically it was a very famous viral clip, you know, right around the time YouTube started. And she apparently really struggled after that with depression, thoughts of suicide. Just some very heady stuff, if you will. Heady, heavy, either one of those is applicable here, even if you don't know the definition of one or both of them. And so JD Vance is in a press conference or whatever today. He's at another one
Starting point is 00:44:05 of his Kenosha rallies with 12 people. Even Kyle Rittenhouse, I heard, is kind of off of Trump, which is a scary thought. It really makes it question the Republican Party where things are at today. I don't know. And so essentially the reporter's like, hey, just so you know, like you posted this clip online. It's drawn attention back to this thing from, you know, 20-ish years ago. This lady really struggled with that, like, do you want to apologize for that or anything? And basically, JD Vance said something along the lines of, I think we need to learn to laugh more. No, I'm not going to apologize.
Starting point is 00:44:41 It's a bummer that she went through that. And it's not the absolute worst thing JD Vance could have said, but it really highlights how easy it is to just say, uh, if you were like a very, if you were someone who had an ounce of just grace and humility, you could say, Oh yeah, total bummer. I posted that. I meant it, you know, as a joke, didn't realize she went through that. I'm sorry, I'll take it down. There are other ways that I can besmirch my opponent. That would be a gracious, kind, upstanding, heady, respectful thing to do. But no, JD Vance was just like, I think we gotta learn to laugh a little bit more in politics.
Starting point is 00:45:22 I'm not gonna apologize. I think we've got to learn to laugh a little bit more in politics. I'm not going to apologize. And it's just the level of stick up your ass arrogance is not appealing to me. And it's not something that is going to make any significant waves or head waves or heady waves in the campaign. This isn't going to sway the minds of independent voters.
Starting point is 00:45:41 But I think it just really highlights the personal qualities and attributes at play here. So JD Vance, nice guy, actually not, would not want to have a beer with you, because you seem like kind of an asshole. And then one more thing here before we just, we're going to go pretty quickly through some bachelor Ideas things you can do and the wife and kids are away for the weekend half fellas
Starting point is 00:46:11 A reminder say I think we actually forgot last week, which was super embarrassing Mufasa the lion king Comes out in I should have researched this how many I have a saved Google search which is helpful 112 days away from Mfasa, the Lion King. Can you feel the love tonight? It is where we are. It's enough for kings and I don't know the words. I never really knew this one that well. I know Circle of Life pretty well. Can you feel the love tonight? Maybe I feel like I wasn't maybe allowed to watch that scene when I was a kid because of the sexual lion-lioness relations. Unclear. I can't recall. But Mufasa, I was researching a little bit more today.
Starting point is 00:47:12 Did you know it is both a prequel and a sequel? It just blew my mind. Mufasa, not only is it gonna break box office records, almost assuredly will make more money at the box office than any other animated film has before including Avatar and Avatar 2 the way of what ha. But we got Elton John coming back for the score. We have Childish Gambino contributing an original song and Donald Glover of course plays Simba. We have Gilbert Gottfried coming back as the bird from Aladdin, and then Rest in Peace. It's all AI, it's okay. And then we have, it's a prequel, so the monkey Rafiki is going to be narrating the story to Mufasa's granddaughter, Simba's daughter, played by the the the incomparable the girl from what's-her-name leave no trace
Starting point is 00:48:09 and Thomas and Mackenzie you know from Jojo Rabbit and that M. Night Shyamalan movie old where she becomes old I just spilled some of my surly that's sacrilege that should have been one of the laws in Exodus don't spill your surly If we're gonna have ten commandments and then another like hundred weird commandments about oxes and donkeys We could have thrown something in there about delicious adult beverages What do you think the drinking age was in Egypt not is right now it was Where where the fuck were we Mufasa the lion king it's a prequel in a sequel and it comes out in 112 days Mufasa real courage deserves
Starting point is 00:48:59 more I always do that thinking I'm gonna get some sort of big, excuse me, roar from within just like Mufasa finds in the movie Mufasa the Lion King. Only in theaters and later on Disney plus, but it always just makes me cough. Okay. We're gonna do just a couple we're to buzz through this list style, not really a power ranking, just some things that came up with that are good ways to enjoy your three day weekend when your fiance is out of town. You have finished teaching, you're not really working at all.
Starting point is 00:49:38 You really have three days and I don't have any concrete plans yet. I mean, I got things I want to do, people I want to see, but in terms of like, oh, I have this event at this state, this, excuse excuse me, now I got the hiccups. Thank you, Mufasa. I don't have any events where it's like, Oh, it's this time I got to do this other than fantasy football draft Saturday night auction draft. Stupid hiccups. Monday night Great Way North draft. I got a P now. And last time we tried to pause the recording on this fine native Windows voice recorder app. I actually had to make two MP3s and put them together and that just sounds like a lot more work than I want to put in. So we're going to buzz through this. Here are some ideas for ways you can spend your time next time.
Starting point is 00:50:29 And this goes for the ladies, too, right? This is not all manly stuff. But any time you got a little bit of downtime, you're looking to maybe splurge a little bit, here are some things you can do if you really want to live it up bachelor lifestyle. Next up, or first up, sorry, you can do if you really want to live it up bachelor lifestyle. Next up, or first up, sorry, you can take your class, what's like I did yesterday, to the South Asia Institute down in Michigan Avenue. You can explore their art collections and learn about the history of South Asian immigration and racism in the city of Chicago.
Starting point is 00:51:03 That's a good bachelor idea. Next up, you can also like we did, we did this on Tuesday, a heat index of 117, I think it was. You can clean up a public beach and you can reflect on the municipal, hard to say a word, policies, both de jure and de facto, policies, laws, all that fun stuff that lead to segregation and poverty and racism and today's fast pace ever changing 21st century urban climate.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Next you can call your grandmother on the phone and ask her to tell you stories. You can even whip out your tape recorder and just take it all, right? Get it all from your grandma, whether it's my grandma, Sal or anyone else. Shout out to grandma, Sal. Shout out to Peterson's pork chops on a stick. My favorite Vikings podcast today was doing a snake draft. On Friday mornings this summer, they've been doing snake drafts of different things, three rounds. And today it was it was Minnesota State Fair food.
Starting point is 00:52:10 And I think in the third round, one of the hosts took Peterson's pork chops on a stick. So it's not a first rounder, but considering there were only nine picks, and you could have gone with Fried Ranch, which is exactly what it sounds like. No, Peterson's pork chops on a stick getting an odd. Grandma Sal worked there for many, many years. Shout out to grandma Sal. Shout out to the Minnesota State Fair now and it's uh, last couple of days here. Speaking of fair food, I came up with this idea in the shower, a reverse hot dog eating competition. It's instead of you Seeing how many hot dogs you can house in 15 or 20 minutes you actually go to
Starting point is 00:52:53 Neighborhoods in your local community that are experiencing severe food insecurity and You grill them some hot dogs and you pass them out and make sure you get all the fixings to relish onions ketchup mustard pickles ketchup if you want the blagojevich dog but there you go that's a reverse hot dog eating competition sort of a novelty concept next up you could write letters to wounded veterans I feel like people don't really get that many letters these days. And when I get a letter, I usually don't get it because it gets lost in the mail. So you're going to want to check with your local postmaster general first, but I think
Starting point is 00:53:36 a nice handwritten note to a veteran, maybe even Space Force. Who's the first Space Force veteran? Or is there someone who joined Space Force on day one and then got like quit and went AWOL, went dishonorably discharged? You don't have to write one to them, but probably like a wounded warrior from Vietnam or Korea even or you know Iraq. Maybe they, maybe it was the veteran who came back when we did the Iraq Church hot pocket looking beans kind of celebration back in 2001 or whenever it was. Right when the search for Saddam's nuclear arsenal was really heating up.
Starting point is 00:54:22 Next up, oh this is appropriate God. You could advocate and I advocate. I wrote this before I even talked about the flood. You could advocate for animal, anti animal cruelty. God wishes it was animal cruelty. Anti animal cruelty legislation in your local community. You call up your alderman, you say hey I've seen this, I've seen that. I heard about this godfella, Jehovah, you might know him as. He's doing some unsavory things. We gotta stop that. And that's, you know, that'll be a 15 minute phone call at least that'll take up,
Starting point is 00:54:55 that'll take up your Sunday afternoon. Tell you that much. Could even parlay it into going to one tail at a time or pause Chicago and walking some of those death row inmates. Did they call them death row inmates if you're at the pound and they're about to put you down? I don't know. I haven't been there before. You could also volunteer at a soup kitchen. It's kind of like the reverse hot dog eating competition but you don't even have to make the soup you just got to pass it out.
Starting point is 00:55:26 Minestrone, cream of mushroom, or egg drop soup. Which I was never really a big fan of when you go to the Chinese restaurant they bring you the egg drop soup and you get that weird kind of big spoon. It's good for sipping and the soup itself is good but then you get that weird kind of big spoon. It's good for sipping. And the soup itself is good, but then you get the big, sometimes there's a big egg yolk in there, and it's like, I don't really wanna have a raw egg yolk. So, because I'm vegan, animal cruelty.
Starting point is 00:55:56 Couple more here, you can always clean the bathroom so that when your fiance comes home after a long weekend in dusty, dusty Arizona. The Red Rocks of Sedona, they call it Red Rocks Amphitheater out there in Sedona, of course. She's got a nice clean bathroom to whatever she wants to do. Poop, shave, shower, blow out her hair, call her grandma, write a letter while she's on the toilet to a wounded veteran.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Clean bathroom makes it a much better experience. A couple more here you could restore a 1954 Ford Thunderbird and donate it to a local immigrant family in need of transportation to get to work. Now it's 1954 so it might not have that many miles left on it. It's more of a show car than a commuter car, but I figure if I was in a new country, I didn't know the language. I had never even had a Surly before. And all the, you know, you got all these evangelical
Starting point is 00:56:57 Christians who are huge on anti, well, not anti animal cruelty, pro animal cruelty. I would rather have the Thunderbird than not have the Thunderbird now, then there's of course the whole conversation about insurance, which I understand. I get it, it's expensive, but maybe you just drive uninsured. Not my first choice, but you do what you gotta do to get by. And then we got one more here. But do what you got to do to get by.
Starting point is 00:57:27 And then we got one more here. In honor of George Costanza, you eat an entire block of cheddar cheese shirtless in your apartment. But because Jules Osco has a special ongoing right now where it's two for one blocks of cheddar cheese, you donate the other block to test mice at your local genetic lab because you are anti animal cruelty. See how it comes full circle? God could never write a book of the Bible that comes full circle. Dummy. Okay we're gonna finish up here with our Presbyterian trivia. Did we reveal the answer to the first trivia question?
Starting point is 00:58:10 Now I'm feeling like we didn't and I don't even remember what it was, which is really embarrassing. Oh, we didn't. Okay. I said we were going to then we never did. 30 minutes later the book of the bible that moses died in if you're curious is at the end of deuteronomy joshua or genesis exodus leviticus number is deuteronomy so it's the end of the pentateuch classic horse name so there you go that was your
Starting point is 00:58:40 bonus question it's like we're watching a great Alejandro Iñárritu film, the one with Guy Pearce, where he tattoos himself, Invictus. It's not, it's not what it's called at all. Guy Pearce Memento, jeez Christ. Like a quarter of my way into my second beer, literally granted two IPAs. It's not like, oh yeah, I also had a quarter of my way into my second beer. Literally, I've granted two IPAs. It's not like, oh, yeah, I also had a shot of whiskey
Starting point is 00:59:09 beforehand. It's like, this is just how my mind is working after a full week of teaching in the heat and always being sweaty. The Pistons aren't firing that quickly here, much like the actual Pistons, Cade Cunningham and Ben Wallace and Rashid Wallace. I was actually watching the mouths at the palace yesterday, if you can believe it or not. Okay, we got to wrap this up here. We got 10 questions, Presbyterian Church quiz 14 actually. So it's the 14th quiz
Starting point is 00:59:40 they've made over there at pro-ROFSQuizzes.com. Number one, we're playing this together. And we're revealing answers on the go. Number one, who was identified as a founding father of the Presbyterian Church? John Smith, John Knox, John Preston, or John Winslow? I think John Smith was the guy who was banging Pocahontas. So I'm going to say John Knox.
Starting point is 01:00:04 Submit my answer. Yes, that's right. Correct with a smiley face. A Scottish minister and theologian. Okay, it's giving you like, it's spelling out the answer but like one word slowly at a time and it's way too slow. Question number two. According to the, this says, according to the presentation, I guess we were supposed to watch a presentation before the quiz. I'm sorry. How often does the Presbyterian Church partake of the Lord's Supper? I don't know. I feel like if you're going to like Catholic mass, you do you get the little grape juice in the crackers once a week, right? So my hunch is weekly. That's gonna be my guess. It's weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly. I can't imagine it's
Starting point is 01:00:52 quarterly. Oh, we're wrong. It was monthly. I guess they're trying to save on those wafers. I don't think they cost that much, but maybe if you just bought regular crackers, it's like you're planning a wedding. If you buy regular crackers, it's not that much. But if you buy wedding crackers, the same thing, triple the price. All right, one for two so far. Email us, Bean Town Podcast, yahoo.com. Let us know how you are doing on this quiz. See if you can beat me. Number three, according to the presentation, again, I'm sorry, Number three, according to the presentation again, I'm sorry, T.D. Jakes, that's a guy's name, T.D. aka touchdown and Jakes, J-A-K-E-S, made a bold confession that he believes in the
Starting point is 01:01:35 Trinity, the Church of Christ, the one baptism, or the Holy Quran. I have a pretty good idea of what it's not. If it's a bold confession, I believe it's got to be actually I was gonna say it's got to be this I have no idea the Trinity. I Don't know. I I don't know what these Presbyterians believe. That's my guess. Oh, we were right. I Don't know who TD Jakes is. I thought he wrote that Redwall Children's fantasy series, but that's someone else Brian Jakes question four I thought he wrote that Redwall children's fantasy series, but that's someone else. Brian Jake's question four
Starting point is 01:02:08 according to the presentation Sorry guys Saddleback Church does not use the title pastor and only use the title bishop true or false This is a real fucking dart throw no presentation. I don't know what Saddleback Church is. Who cares if you got a pastor or a bishop? I'm gonna say false. Bishop feels very Catholic to me. I'm saying false. And it's correct. I sniffed that one out from a mile away. Next up here. Which of the following would consist of the keys given to Peter by Jesus? Number one, the new covenant. Two, the one true church. Three, the gates of hell will not prevail.
Starting point is 01:02:53 Four, repentance and remission of sin. I feel like this has got to be the one, the new covenant or repentance and remission of sin. I feel like Jesus whole thing whole big deal. We were talking about the Ten Commandments. That was like the og covenant the rainbow and shit after the flood and this is the new covenant. So I'm going to say the new covenant. That's my guess, but I'm not confident wrong. It was my other idea repentance and remission of sin, but I
Starting point is 01:03:22 feel like new covenant was a good guess too. All right halfway number six according to the presentation and remission of sin. But I feel like New Covenant was a good guess too. Alright, halfway, number six. According to the presentation, again, the free will Baptist denomination began in 1727 by which group of Baptists? Pentecostal, Southern, Primitive, or General? These are some funky choices. I mean, Pentecostal sounds real official, right? I'm probably gonna go with that. Southern, 1727, I don't think so. Primitive, what is it, Planet of the Apes? Or general, okay?
Starting point is 01:03:53 General Baptist sounds like if my pediatrician, Dr. Errol Baptist, fought in the Sri Lankan War for Independence, because he was Sri Lankan. I'm going Pentecostal Baptist if it's wrong when I feel real stupid. Oh it was General Baptist. Add that to the horse name list. Okay we're done with our other lists. Here come the horse names. We already have Habit of Goring. Now we have General Baptist. Look I'm going to come back to this list in May
Starting point is 01:04:23 like after I get married when it's time for the horse name special. I'm gonna come back to this list in May, like after I get married, when it's time for the horse name special, I'm gonna have no idea what either of those means, but I should make a note to come back to this episode, so that we can figure out the context. Number seven, we're almost done, I promise. Which sculpture, sorry, nope, it's 9.35 p.m., haven't had supper yet.
Starting point is 01:04:46 Yeah, which scripture below best describes how a Christian marriage should be governed? Well, this is kind of bullshit, because they're just giving you book, chapter, verse. So the assumption is you've memorized all four of these and you can say which one is about Christian marriage and how it should be governed. Not just marriage, but hey,
Starting point is 01:05:03 how should your marriage be governed? I know there was some stuff in Exodus about slaves and oxes and ears pierced. Unfortunately, there's only one Exodus in here, and it's Exodus 4. And we were in 21. Mark 14, 51 through 52, Deuteronomy 25, 11-12, Ephesians 5, 25-33, or Exodus 4, 24-25. Presbyterian feels very New Testament to me.
Starting point is 01:05:34 So I'm ruling out Deuteronomy and Exodus, where between Ephesians and Mark, I don't know, feel like Jesus would have been talking about this stuff. So Mark 14, 51-52. Wrong. It's Ephesians. It's got to be a letter from Paul, right? Damn. We're spiraling. I should have watched this presentation is what I should have done. Oh, this is not a multiple choice. You have to type in your answer. And it's Rick Warren who there's a
Starting point is 01:06:05 whole other wormhole with Rick Warren in my church growing up we can go into but we don't have time Rick Warren was quoted for saying baptism does not save you but shows the world that you have already been saved oh my god provide one scripture and explanation to refute this core tenant of the Saddleback Church. I don't I'm gonna type NA we'll see if it gives us the right answer. I hit submit. Oh that was the 10th question I thought that was only the 9th question. Our score was 30 out of oh it was the 8th question. It gave us like oh here's your final score and that was only eight questions and it didn't even score a free response. They
Starting point is 01:06:52 should be able to use chat GBT to recognize that my NA is code for a my favorite Bible verse. So unclear if we got eight right or not. Number nine, which of the following subjects covered was the most challenging? What the fuck? There's so many choices. Christian evidences, Jewish customs. That's when you fly to Tel Aviv and you got to go through immigration. Church organization. This is getting out of control loopy.
Starting point is 01:07:24 This is penultimate question. Acts of conversion, world religions, denominational studies, the New Testament church, miraculous gifts or evangelism methods. And again, because here's the question, which of the following subjects covered was the most challenging? You mean in general or for me or was there a popular vote? Did the presentation cover this in an appendix C? for challenging I'll tell you what was most challenging for me. Definitely acts of conversion. No doubt Nope, it was Christian evidences. Damn my second choice. Oh
Starting point is 01:08:00 I hope you're just as just loopy about this as I am. Oh fuck no I Apologies for swearing. That's the third F-bomb we dropped, but here's what happened. I advanced to question 10, and my web browser just automatically reset to question 1. I'm not usually an F-bomb guy. It's very rare that we drop it on the show, but when you get to question 10 out of 10 of the Presbyterian quiz, number 14, and you're preeminently flustered because you haven't seen this presentation yet. Well, at least I'm going back through it and filling it out again.
Starting point is 01:08:43 I got General Baptist this time. We'll see if I remember college evidences. You get you get a little bit perturbed if you will, much like Jesus in the temple when he starts flipping those guys tables. Okay we are almost back to question 10. This time for my free response Rick Warren question. I just entered the letter T. This episode of the Bean Tom podcast brought to you by the letter T. And here we go. Question 10, which of the following subjects covered was the most enriching? And it's the same answer choices for old times sake. I'll give them to you one more time. Christian evidences, Jewish customs, church
Starting point is 01:09:21 organization, acts of conversion, world religions world religions denominational studies the New Testament Church miraculous gifts or Evangelism methods I'll say this miraculous gifts seems very enriching to me regardless of the presentation But it was also Christian evinces so they were both it was the most challenging and the most enriching Question those Presbyterians are sneaky little shits just like that snake who is banging Eve. Guys, that's what I got for you. I'm cutting this off. We are gonna turn up our outro music here. What an episode.
Starting point is 01:09:53 I got a P like a race horse who could be named, oh shoot, what did we just had it? Habit of gore-ing or General Baptist? We might already be 20% of the way to our horse name special. Guys, my name is Quinn David Furness, everyone. Happy Labor Day weekend. Enjoy your bachelor time away. Go read some scripture.
Starting point is 01:10:14 My name is Quinn. Thanks for listening. Stay safe, stay sane. Check in on you next time. Bye! Bye so so so I'm going to go to the bathroom.
