Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David Furnace. Welcome to my show, Quinn David Furnace presents
the bean town podcast for Friday June 16th, 2023. Just remembered an old childhood friend's
birthday today. Happy birthday. Jared Sloth hour. Probably the only time I've ever
been broken up with in a friendship directly and over the fall. One of the
weirdest moments of my life, it was just like a weeknight. I was sitting there
and I got a call on our landline. It was my friend Jared and it was I was
probably like, I don't know
Probably right around end of middle school start a high school he and I and my brother Jack brother the podcast Jack For and it's we're all very good friends definitely like our closest childhood friend and
Basically just got broken up with over the phone out of the blue we'd probably hung out just
Days earlier and I really recall but from that point forward I broken up with over the phone. Out of the blue, we'd probably hung out just days earlier,
I don't really recall, but from that point forward,
I, we like saw each other here and there after that,
but it was always very awkward.
And I remember feeling very like embarrassed and ashamed
that it happened and I didn't understand why.
And to this day, I still don't understand why.
I don't have an explanation.
And they'd try and do like avoid talking about my best friend with
other members of my family because I was like weirded out by it and felt
embarrassed so good stuff happy birthday to J Train I think he's got to be the big
30 for Jared so hope wherever you are my friend.
Hope you're having a good day.
My name is Quinn David Frennison.
This is my show.
Quinn David Frenz presents the Bean Town podcast.
It is a big weekend.
It's Father's Day weekend.
On Sunday we got, it's our Father's Day special.
It is Juneteenth on Monday the 19th.
This will be the first year I've ever had Juneteenth off
in my life.
I feel like I ever since Biden signed that into
Federal whatever it's it's it's catch and fire here like Katniss Everdeen and more and more people are starting to get it off
But I think it's probably still gonna live in that kind of nebulous with MLK day
in
Presidents day, although I think so MLK day and
Juneteenth are federal holidays. I don't think presidents day is a federal holiday, is it?
I don't really know how these things are classified, nor does it really matter, I think, because
hey, I get MLK day off, that's a relatively new thing.
And I get Juneteenth off, super new thing. And I get Juneteenth off a super new thing. And fairly certain those are both federal holidays. But I don't get
president's day off. According to Wikipedia, president's day
officially Washington's birthday at the federal government level.
So it's Washington's birthday at the federal government level is
a holiday in the United States. Okay, but I don't know. Oh, since
1879 has been the federal holiday
honoring Finding Father George Washington.
What I'm getting from this is that
the fact that something is a federal holiday
doesn't actually mean anything
for, I guess, companies, private companies
would probably be the way that works, right?
If you're public, not public,
but if you are a taxpayer-funded state or government,
let's call it government entity or organization,
you're probably not gonna be open on any of those days.
I think is what I'm trying to get at here.
So you got a three day weekend, which is very exciting.
Weird weather in Chicago, super cold this morning.
It's coming back though.
I tell you what, I'll jump into this real quick and then we'll get going on our show
here because I don't want to be too long today. I went this morning so if you're in
Chicago you probably heard of it at this point. It started last year a movement, a
group, if you will, a loosely organized collection of people called Friday
Morning Swim Club. So this was launched last year in like May
or June or something. Essentially, it's a group of people who go out to Montrose Harbor and jump
in Lake Michigan on Friday mornings. And I've been, I don't know, I think it's skeptical isn't the
right word, but I've never actually gone. I've certainly never jumped in.
I've had friends who go and it's turned into a pretty big kind of social thing here in
the city of Chicago.
I mean, at times there will be thousands of people there who jump in.
And I decided this morning, I actually had a hard time sleeping last night, which is not
typically the case for me, but I was, it was was like 4.45 I woke up and I was just like
I can't I'm not going back to sleep I knew I had a long work day today and it
was long it was really rough so I decided you know let's get some steps in it's
about two and a half miles from door to jump spot but of course it's so cold
here I had to put a sweatpants and a hoodie,
and I could see my breath as I was walking.
It was crazy, but I went out there.
In case you're not in Chicago,
it was about 52, 53 degrees this morning.
Lake is pretty chilly.
They're still probably at least,
I don't know, four or 500 people who showed up.
And some of them jumped in, many did not,
but good on those people.
And I didn't, I just literally walked there,
sat down, watched, observed for about all of 10 minutes,
and then I walked back.
But I got my steps in, and I can say,
I've been to Friday morning swim club.
I'll say this, I don't go swimming
and like, Michigan that often,
solely because it's always cold, and oftentimes you get pretty choppy waves. And I don't
know when you jump in and you get the shock of the cold. And then on top of that you get
the, you know, you're trying to like, even if you're a good swimmer, the choppiness can
kind of throw you off a little bit. So I haven't gone swimming in the lake in a while,
probably not where I thought for sure
my fingers were going to get year ago exactly,
probably even a little bit longer than that.
So it's fun, good on those people.
They have a good time.
So I did that.
I was in as advised when you're listening to the B-Tone podcast,
number one, we'll occasionally do some language.
Number two, this podcast is objectively terrible.
What I think today is gonna be light, it's gonna be fun.
And it's our Father's Day special,
and we gotta start off, there's some other things
I wanna mention here.
We got Dad trivia going on, we got a palindrome,
which is not gonna be super exciting.
We got a new comedy sketch idea, I want to flip by all of you.
And I came, we got dad memories.
I came across a piece of classical music, we're not going to play it or anything, but I just
have to share it with the world because I don't even, I think God for YouTube, for somehow
throwing this into my algorithm, I don't know how I came across it,
but it's easily my new favorite thing.
I think I've probably been listening to it
basically on repeat for like five days.
So I'll tell you a little bit about that.
What I know, there's not even much available information on it
unless I have to try to do some more deep digging,
but we're gonna start off because I woke up Wednesday morning and also
mentioned hello to my friends in Pakistan, Hyderabad, Karachi, Kibera Pass. I
don't know if they celebrate Father's Day in Pakistan but it seems like a
fairly patriarchal is a patriarchal or patriarchal? I think just patriarchal
right? Patriarchy, pay tree, arkel, society, yeah. I'll spell it for you, but I'm looking
right at it. P-A-T-I-R-A-R-C-H-A-L. I think I could do that without it. Pretty patriarchal
society. So hello to my friends in Pakistan. Thank you for listening. Oh, and also just
mention, uh, congratulatory podcast, DG,
for getting married last week at Harvard.
So Harvard, man, he's actually been married
for three years now, but this was just the celebration.
And I tell you what, there's a whole other podcast
we could do there about some of the stuff that happened,
set up, tear down, but I'm not gonna linger.
I'm not going to be smurch and I will not say ill
on public airwaves of anyone
Certainly not in the family. So there was a beautiful time glad that I could help glad we could make your day
So special so congratulations to those guys
Son of ane the Pike is
Anna who got us turned on to the whole George Santos thing and the George Soros thing and she's been on once her twice before It's been a while probably four or five years, but she has been on
Okay, but going back here father's day
Now if you're new to the show you won't know this because we totally
Boothed on it B-O-O-F-E-D,
like, boof bonzer.
Speaking of boof bonzer, we're going to have some dad-centric baseball trivia in a couple
of minutes here.
So you got that to look forward to.
If you don't know boof bonzer, just go to baseballreference.com or wait in your favorite Wikipedia page and have
some fun looking at the booth.
Here's a very brief before we talk about what actually happened to me on Wednesday.
Do you think, okay, first tribute question,
unplanned tribute question, is Booth Bonser,
so in case you don't know, he's a pitcher, a relief pitcher for a while,
played for the twins, I think he had a stand with the Cubs,
I'm sure other teams, relief pitchers play for everyone everyone But do you think boof was actually his first name? I'm gonna guess no
Then the fun part is guessing what do you think boof bonzer's first name actually was and I will be more surprised if it's boof
Then something like Reginald, but let's do a quick Google search
We always learn on the bean Tom podcast if nothing else else, we learn things. Booth bonds are American baseball athlete.
All right, here we go.
Oh, friend of the show,
probably a baseball legend too,
but a piano legend is gonna appreciate this.
So get your guesses in.
You can email us bean Tom podcast.
Yeah, who did come?
Bean Tom podcast.
Yeah, who did come?
In case you don't know,
in case you're not a boof head,
he's 41 now, he's from St. Petersburg, Florida.
The team he played for, not as many as I would have thought.
Just three major league teams, the Twins from 06 to 08, the Red Sox and the Athletics in 2010.
So he only logged what four seasons total.
He was not around a lot, just in a formative time.
Okay, but to actually get to the bottom of this booth bonzer's full first name John Paul
So if you go to his Wikipedia says John Paul boof bonzer. I love it JP boof
Sounds like a mobster or something JP boof JP La Boof
Shia La Boof
I woke up Wednesday and I gotta tell you, I feel like my creativity for the most part,
especially musically, not as high now as, especially when I was like single living alone.
I just feel like there was a lot more time for my head to just kind of wander to places
unknown.
And I still try to stay creative with the comedy, with the podcast, music,
to a lesser extent. But I tell you what, I woke up this morning, or Wednesday morning
rather, it's Friday now. And I said, we got to do a father's day song. So to finish the
thought, I had started saying, back in the good old days of the bean down podcast, we're
in year six now. I think it was the first three years, but we might have done a fourth one too.
I can't recall.
I know it did not happen last year, year five.
Somehow we started the tradition of writing a Father's Day song and debuting it on the
podcast and our Father's Day episode.
Now they tend to be specific to my dad.
We've had ones that I know the, I think the most recent one was like a Randy Newman parody.
There was one that had some great effects on it.
It mentioned Macy's and Thanksgiving Day parades.
And then there is the original one,
which I don't even remember how it goes.
I'm pretty sure it's on the YouTube channel.
If you go to my YouTube channel, Quinn David Furnace,
you can probably find all of them in some capacity.
But if you're out there and you start exploring
and you go to my YouTube channel,
you'll also notice that our most recent video.
In fact, it's the first uploaded video,
we've had some lives,
but it's our first uploaded video on the YouTube channel
in five months.
The one I did before that was a wedding video.
I'm kind of, you know, dabbling in videography
for my brother and my sister, Lajak, and Nicole.
There is a new one.
So we're back with another Father's Day song.
Cornbread muffins was it in 2020.
That was the Randy Neumann one.
So I guess we just did one, two, three.
We botched year four and year five.
We boofed it.
So Cornbread muffins is year three, year two.
Oh man, I'm going through all my quarantine videos.
I was pretty prolific back then,
P-R-O-L-I-F-I-C.
Anyways, I don't know,
we don't have to get to the bottom of all this stuff.
Happy Father's Day 2019.
I think that's the one with some good effects.
And I thought that we had a song in 2018 as well.
Oh, there's the Must Watch Hot Dog eating contest.
The elfated Matthew Fiedler, Quinn Furnace,
bean town unplugged concert series.
Anyways, I might try to dig that up later.
I think there was a song, but it wasn't separated out.
It was just on the regular podcast feed
with the rest of the episode.
I'll say that for later.
What I'm trying to say is woke up Wednesday
and I said, I gotta write a song.
So I went down, I got a notepad,
tore out a piece of paper, got a sharpie,
and I just started drawing.
And I said, this is how I've never written a song this way,
but I said, this is how we're gonna write this song.
It reminds me of like, it's always sunny,
Charlie Day's character,
sometimes he'll write like a script
and it's just pictures.
I think at the Nightman Cometh instead of
sheet music he has like pictures and they're supposed
to read that to sing their songs and stuff.
That's kind of what's going on here.
So I drew it, you probably saw it on social media,
I posted the image.
I'm literally sitting there, I was working from home,
it was like 7.30 a.m. so I'd have to go to the office.
I drew a spider with a top hat, a globe, from home, it was like 7.30 a.m. so I'd have to go to the office. I drew a spider at the top at a globe, free hand, okay?
You got North America, South America, Africa, Europe.
No one wants to draw the other side, it's just the ocean.
And then on the bottom, I have a grand piano, all drawn from memory.
I was very proud of myself.
Anyone knows me, knows I am not a visual artist.
That is not my thing. I think I took one drawing class at home school when I was,
I don't know, 10 years old, something like that.
I drew that. Then I jotted down two sentences sitting on top of the world's
or, yes, spinning, oh, spinning on top of the world, I have it with me,
but it's on the other side of the room,
I can't see that far.
Spinning on top of the world, spinning inside of my head.
And all of a sudden, and I just started flowing,
I sat down to the piano, and I just went for it.
So I'll say this, my inspiration, sort of what I was drawing
upon as I created, as I crafted
this song in the recording studio on Wednesday was like a little bit of Bowie and a little
bit of goodbye yellow brick road.
And in case you just want to listen to this independently, it's on the YouTube channel
now.
You can find it also beantompuckess.com.
We put it on the homepage. This is the world premiere of Happy Father's Day 2023.
This one's called Daddy Long Lakes, and we're going to play it for you live on the podcast
now and we'll be right back.
So enjoy the world premiere, Happy Father's Day.
Here's Daddy long legs.
Spinning on top of the world spinning inside of my head Spinning in narrow
Chilling like a scarecrow
He brings us here, then I'm in peace
Spinning on top of the world
Spinning inside of my head
Spinning inside of my head The fangs of a Titan,
Thirly and light and light
You bite like a loving embrace
So dead in long legs
Lay of a thousand eggs
Rappin' into the stars of my dreams
You spin like a hustler, there's no way it's trusted
And hug and get by your love
Dance on a rainbow, even as a blood flows
Spinning around us tonight
My daddy
Oh
Daddy spent me tonight
Spinning on top of the world, spinning inside of my head.
You thin like a pencil, fuel up on mantle, a joke down a racknade line
Oh, daddy long legs, lay a thousand eggs, racknade to the stars of my dreams
You spin like a hustler, there's no way I trust her, hug her and give her your love.
Dance on a rainbow, even as her blood flows,
Spinning around us tonight, in my daddy. But that has been me tonight And there you go.
I hope you enjoyed it. And there you go.
I hope you enjoyed it.
So we laid down the piano track after a couple of rehearsals and then did the vocals on
top of that.
So I had a great time.
I hope you enjoyed it.
That's a song for all the fathers out there.
Happy Father's Day.
It's on our YouTube channel.
You can see all the lyrics there, if you'd like.
Written from the heart.
All right. We got a couple of things lined up here
in the second half of today's bean-town podcast.
We're gonna move through it pretty quickly,
but first I wanna give a shout out to our sponsors
and I wanna make sure we get a full ad read in here
for Home Pride organ because it is Father's Day.
Oh, and by the way, I was just curious,
well, that was playing,
because I not only did I record it and everything,
but actually in the making of this podcast,
I put it in the track obviously,
and then I also listened to the whole thing
because it's just kind of catchy to be honest.
Like I'm not blowing smoke up my own ass.
I am a little bit, but I think it's pretty catchy.
It's not perfect.
I mean, I'll say this from conception,
even before conception, from the time I decided that I was going to do a Father's Day song to
the finished product being ready was probably two hours. So I'm pretty proud of that. Let's do our
ad reads here, though, if I can find it in the bean town podcast.
I might be signed into the wrong Google account, which would be tragic.
I sure am.
Let's switch that.
Quind up for it is at gmail.com.
That's the one that we want.
All right, here we go.
Home Pride organ.
Are you tired of selling your house or less than a quarter of what it's worth?
All because you couldn't find a reliable home inspector in time.

Homepiredorgan inspection.
Perfection.
I also want to give a shout out to the Samson Q2U series.
It's got crisp, clear audio quality.
It sounds good.
It tastes great.
When God speaks, He uses Samson.
I still have in my original bean town ad reads copy,
which is the Google Doc, which I don't think has been touched town ad reads copy, which is the Google doc
Which I don't think has been touched for probably four years five years. I still have well
I've never actually written a Samsung Q2U series copy. It just says shout out to the Samsung Q2U series
So a little bit of kind of emerald city pulling the curtain back kind of stuff
But then I also have written TV guide story. Original bean heads, what we call that,
I once used my spirit points to get a year-long
magazine subscription to the TV guide,
which was ironic at the time,
because I didn't own a TV.
I still don't have cable or anything,
but I have two TVs now.
But they sent me four copies and then I never actually got anything after that.
So I guess I only had enough points for a month.
There's three or four copies.
That was it.
So I still have it written here.
Old relic of bean town your, Y-O-R-E.
Finally our good friends and cuts by Q. I just did a nice little shave by Q today.
Bob and weave, we all know the hairstyle and we all love it.
But how many Chicago based independent barbers
can actually give it to you the way you deserve?
Enter cuts by Q.
It's a little like Anderson man, just different.
Cuts by Q has been independently owned and operated
since 1995 and it's probably one of the better
barbershop operations serving Cook County,
Northwood, Indiana, I don't know, McKenery County too,
I'll take the Metro and the Greater Chicago Land Area.
From Beehives to Banks, Fowl Hawks to Flat Top,
San Everything Between Call, Cuts by Q815, 298, 7200,

fresh do something snappy and nude. Call the experts at cuts by Q. In case you're curious,
our phone is ringing. Potential spam. Let's let's see what's going on. You know what, this is good,
says it's labeled potential spam. Let's put it on speaker phone. Let's see what happens.
Welcome to the Bean Tom Podcast.
You are live on the air.
Dead air, call ended.
You know, if you're going to do a spam call
at five o'clock on a Friday,
you gotta be ready to join the live podcast.
That's highly disappointing. Okay, our paladium of the day is super exciting. It's dad,
D-A-D, or if your Dutch is probably like D-A-A-D, which is still a paladium. That's why the show
works. It's cosmopolitan. It's international. It's got flair. It's got style. It's got substance most importantly. It's got heart
And more importantly, it's got dads I
Would say I'm like 99 and how many decimal points we want to put on this point 999
9% confident
That's pretty confident that I'm not a dad
Because I feel like I have tabs on everything.
Just not even even go down that rabbit hole anymore.
I'm pretty sure that I shouldn't be celebrating yet,
but that doesn't mean that I can't celebrate my dads.
I have one and I'm about to get a second one.
Although he's graciously welcomed me into the family for three and a half years now.
I wanted to share just two brief and there's not anything dramatic, two brief dad memories
and then we got a quick music thing and then our dad trivia that's the end of the show
here.
So I was thinking about this earlier like it's Father's Day. I know we're doing this song, but I'd like to share just some very quick dad memories. And there's look when we talk about
like remembering our loved ones there's always the big moments you know, which are great.
You know the kind of the big things that you remember. But then there's also,
there's the little things too, right? The things that, in most nine out of ten of those little
things you'll never remember, you forget. So I was just trying to think, like, what are
some little moments? Obviously with my own dad, I have 28 years to draw upon versus the future father-in-law
of the Pachez Jose, shout out to Jose.
I told Rachel, shout out to fiance the Pachez Rachel.
She is lovely.
That I would give Jose a shout out and hopefully he'll listen.
He had to wait 28 minutes to hear his name.
Only three and a half years of experiences.
But here we go.
Let's start off with a very quick,
I mentioned these are just brief fleeting things
that I remember that the dads probably don't even remember.
Well, one of them, the Jose one is a little bit more
just kind of it's happened many times,
but I still love it.
This one with Steve was just a one-time thing
as far as I remember.
So we've never, other than when we had,
friend of the show,
Tim Muthuron for Easter, it was probably 2020 maybe,
talked to a little bit of detasting there
because he was our boss for detasting essentially.
But detasting corn was our job grown up,
our child labor thing grown up every summer.
Once you turn 12, you detastle corn.
And it was just easily the most grueling job ever had.
I wouldn't say it's the worst job I've ever had
because it's really nice to make some of that money
when you're 12, 13, 14, whatever.
I mean, you're probably, it was probably when I was 12,
honestly, making like five bucks an hour,
something like that.
And you're working just, it's, I mean, it's laughable on hindsight.
But hey, when you're 12, you don't mind that much.
Well, a lot of, a lot of my colleagues did mind, but I just wanted the paycheck.
And you, you do it sometimes with some people you know, and it's, you know, there's a lot of things to hate,
a lot of things to, you know, that weren't so bad.
But at the end of the day, you'd be exhausted.
So I remember, I think it was the first, I don't know if it was necessarily my first everyday
detastling, but it was the first day of the season.
And it was when I did it with Brother of the Pocket as Jack, who we probably shared four
or five seasons together.
And I remember my dad, Steve, picking us up from the old shop co and Belvedere.
Our house in Cherry Valley was about halfway equidistant between the Belvedere,
shop co and Mount Olive Lutheran kind of on the north side of Rockford.
And so we would oftentimes just pick up at the shop co because that's where the bus got to first,
east side of the metro area.
So my dad picked us up and anyone who knows me
and our family, we didn't have much growing up
and so we didn't have a lot of,
it wasn't super frequent that we got to have many fun treats
outside of having ice cream at the house and stuff.
Just didn't happen very often.
So my dad picked us up and we were driving home along
I-20, the U.S. Highway 20 there.
And we got to stop in a gas station
and we got to each get a, it was basically a big gulp.
It's not called that, but a big old 32-ounce
or styrofoam cup.
And I just remember it was so hot and it was so muddy,
so thankful that dad allowed us,
probably gave us each 75 cents, 69 cents or something
to go in there and get, I filled it up with spright and ice
and that was probably the best spright I've ever had in my life.
So small fleeting moment, it's definitely not like
a top five core memory for me,
but it's just something I thought of earlier.
I remember being so happy that I got to do that.
So thank you to dad of the podcast, Defernis for doing that and call him if you need your home inspector.
And then for Jose, a father-in-law of the podcast here, I thought of a couple specific things and I decided to settle on just more of a kind of,
I thought of a couple specific things and I decided to settle on just more of a kind of
You know, it's happened many times, but I love it. There's nothing better
Then sitting down on the couch the nice whole sectional there the black leather
Relaxing we've both were both in the the seats that have the feet that go up, you know, so you're nice and cozy
Bring out that yellow bag of peanut M&Ms and
At first it's it's like no, I'm just gonna have one or two and the next thing you know, most of the bag is gone.
And he tends to turn on some action movie
that otherwise would never make time to watch.
And sometimes it's a miss, sometimes it's really fun,
but either way, it's just great to spend time together.
So there is a fun memory, a fun father's day memory for both of my dad.
So happy father's day to the two of you. We got one more dad related thing here, tribute
to close the show. I did just want to briefly mention though. And look, if you're not into
classical music at all, I get it. And if you just want to tune out the next couple of
minutes, I get that too. But I'm telling you, I mentioned I teased this half an hour ago.
On my YouTube algorithm, I don't know how it popped up, I think it was just like Monday,
maybe.
I don't listen to a ton of classical music these days, I kind of go in in spurts, right?
I'll have weeks where I'm really listening to a ton of, uh the joblin' or something, right?
Excuse me, belching a lot, uncontrollable belching.
Mercy, we're gonna actually do a quick pause
on the podcast just cause it's getting choppy.
All right, hopefully it's smoother now.
You don't really know it if you're not in the recording booth
with me behind the scenes,
but when I'm using this Mac that is officially now
over 10 years old, and I'm using the garage band software
that hasn't been updated since the Clinton administration.
It's like right now, because I just restarted the recording process or the hit the recording
button basically.
It's running real smooth in terms of how it moves from left to right on the screen, but
as it goes over time, it gets super choppy.
And the chopper, it doesn't necessarily impact the audio quality that you all are listening to,
but it makes me very nervous.
And then frequently it will just like get so choppy
that it just gives up and dies, which is fun.
And we'd say at this point that happens once
an episode on average, hasn't happened yet today.
So knock on a wood, one knock.
But what I was saying is, I don't even need
to beat around the bush.
I'm just gonna come out, come outright and say this,
this piece that I'm about to share with you,
just in name only, I encourage you to listen
to it in your own time.
It is totally badass.
So here's what it is.
It's by a composer named Joseph Weiss,
who, as far as I can tell,
composed like two or three pieces in his lifetime,
he was like a turn of the century,
19th to 20th century, like list disciple basically. Obviously it shows in
this piece. But he wrote a fantasy essentially think of it as like a fantasy and
classical music is it can mean many things. But one of the things it means is piano composers will take larger
works like a symphony or frequently an opera, and basically it's not like a one-to-one
transcription of that work. It's just taking the basic themes or like think of it as like
the most popular songs from that show, and arranging
some sort of one act performance, piano performance that kind of melds those themes together
in one kind of beautiful, long song.
That's essentially what a fantasy is.
I had a favorite one growing up, it was by-list, and it was from themes from Don Giovanni, I believe,
by Mozart.
And that's a great one, too.
You can find a long, long performance.
It's like 16 minutes, but it's fantastic.
And I would cite read through that when I was probably 13, 14,
something like that.
It's still a fantastic piece.
This one is from Carmen, which is a very famous opera.
Probably the most famous French opera there is,
George Bazaille, B-I-Z-E-T,
which it could be a longer story, it doesn't need to be, but I was supposed to see Carmen when I was 18, a freshman in college.
My then girlfriend at the time, Katie, she is a great French horn player, big into classical music, much more than I ever was.
She bought us tickets at the Lyric Opera, which is like the real deal, expensive tickets
to go see Carmen.
And we got down there and she forgot the tickets.
So we went to like a McDonald's, head dinner, and went home instead.
So, to this day, I've never seen Carmen. However, it has some very famous themes. Arguably the most famous one is the
Habanera, is that what it is? So that's one, that's super famous, and then there's the overture if you just turn on the start of Carmen you'll hear this
I mean the last one the Toriard or something that everyone's heard in their lifetime they couldn't not even Yambar, yambam, yambam, yambam, yambam, yambam, yambam, yambam, yambam, yambam, yambam, so this Joseph Weiss is a list disciple.
He writes a fantasy that includes some of the top themes from Carmen.
It's obviously clearly list inspired, but it's also very forward thinking that it interweaves
a lot of like rock mononov technique.
And it's 10 minutes, so it's not brief, but it's not terribly long either.
This is, I am just blown away.
Not only the composition itself, but, and I don't know if this is an original, I don't think
it's a Joseph Weiss recording.
If I used to record, he's probably, he's, you know, probably, what was list.
He was Hungarian. So I don't know if he was Hungarian or Austrian or what he was, but I,
and I don't know if you, you can just Google it. Joseph vice, Carmen fantasy. You'll see
the top hit as sheet music. There's only like two or three performances of it out there.
But this thing is legit. And whoever performed it is absolutely legit.
It is, you look at it and some of the comments indicate this too,
and I believe this to be true.
It is right up there, if not beyond what list ever produced
from a technical difficulty perspective.
It's one of those things where you listen to it,
and you're like, oh my gosh, you got to play this.
And then you get through the first page of sheet music, not that I've tried.
I'm not foolish enough to.
And you're like, no, I'm not going to play this.
But it is breathtaking.
And I think my favorite part about this whole thing is there's some of those those top songs
from Carmen that we all know, the top themes, melodies.
And the whole, I mean, if you, if you know Carmen if you know Carmen, you'll recognize everything going on in the fantasy,
but he holds on to those most famous ones, the overture, the Toriador, till the very end.
And so it's the whole thing is like building towards that.
And then when it finally emerges, it's glorious, the ending is wonderful.
So I wouldn't normally take the time to like share with you a classical piece that I've really been digging lately
But I felt I had to for this one take 10 minutes out of your day. Go listen to it. It is spectacular
I just I just find it on YouTube
Just search Joseph vice
Joseph with an F vice W E. I. S. S. Carmen fantasy
Blown away mind-boggling stuff.
Okay, our last thing today,
and then we're gonna call it quits.
We have dad trivia, and I'll be honest,
it's sports-related, so I get it
if you don't wanna participate, but here we go.
You remind you can always email your answers
bean-ton podcast at Yahoo.com and get this bean-ton
bean podcast at Yahoo.com. Okay, so bean-ton, bean podcast at Yahoo.com.
Okay, so here we go.
I want you to name the famous father, son duo.
Well, I give you a full credit
if you just give me the last name, yes,
is it more fun if you get both first names, I believe so.
Okay, so here we go.
I'm just gonna, it's pretty straightforward.
So it's a father, son duo.
The father was the first player in the 20th century
to hit a grand slam in his first career big league game. Now, I was always under the impression
because I know this factoid that he was the first one to ever do it. Apparently, there
was a guy in like 1897 who did it. And I think it was his first at bat. This player did it, the father, and this famous duo did it
in his first ever big league at bat.
That's probably not gonna give it to alone.
I think I tried to give some sun clues
that were not beachy over the head with a stick obvious,
but interesting as well.
So here we go.
And I will say this, if for all the non trivia heads,
non baseball heads in the room,
you have heard of the last name, I promise you, okay.
Well, I don't, I don't hold me to a promise
because I don't know if you lived under a rock
and if you're like two years old, listen to this show.
I don't know.
Okay, so here we go, here's the clue for the sun.
I think I have two of them.
Okay, so number one, the sun hit 11 career grant slams. Okay, so the father, his first game, he hit a grant slam, the sun. I think I have two of them. Okay, so number one, the sun hit 11 career
grant slams. Okay, so the father, his first game, he hit a grant slam, the sun hit 11 career
grant slams. And he hit eight home runs each of five different pictures. So that's the most
he ever hit off of one picture, but he did it against five separate pitchers, eight hormones.
So I'll give you, now I'll tell you the pitchers and that will tell you, even if you're not
super plugged into baseball, this will probably give you a general year idea.
So here are the pitchers.
I know I'm familiar with four of the five.
The four I know, Chan Ho Park, Kurt Schilling, John Schmultz, and Greg Maddox.
And the one I was less familiar with is Terry Mahalind.
Okay, so again, that second clue was that he hit
eight home runs off of five different pictures.
And those pictures were Chan Ho Park, Kurt Schilling, John Schmultz,
Greg Maddox, and Terry Mahalind.
So if you need more time to figure this one out,
go ahead and pause, submit your answers,
all that good stuff from matter.
It's a father-son duo in Major League Baseball.
And we're gonna reveal the answer now,
so we can wrap up this show.
The answer is Bobby and Barry Bonds.
So Bobby Bonds, famous, probably his most famous thing
outside of being Barry's father is that he hit a grand slam
in his first ever career game.
And of course, Barry Bonds, I wasn't gonna tell you
he's like the all-time home run leader,
that's boring, basic, gives it away.
So hopefully you learn today that he has 11 career grand slams,
which if you're curious, as I was sort of doing the research,
I thought well, Barry Bonds, he has 756 home runs, he's probably which if you're curious, as I was sort of doing the research, I thought, well, Barry Bonz, he has 756 homeruns, he's probably going to be like the leader and number
two in Grand Slam's career wise, right?
No, A-Rod, Alex Rodriguez has like 25 or something, which should be fair, Alex Rodriguez
is like fourth all time in homeruns.
I think it goes, um, Bonz, Aaron, Ruth, then A-Rod, but still, he has, I think A-Rod has
like double the amount that bonds
has, which probably makes sense just contextually because A-Rod played on largely those kick-ass
Yankee teams. And then bonds, you know, the giants went to the World Series once. I think
when Barry Bons was a member, but by the time they won their three world series, he was retired.
So they weren't as good during the late 90s, early 2000s. So there you go.
