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 Saturday, March 30th, 2024. Jesus is dead. Spoiler alert. He's in the tomb.
Starting point is 00:00:17 We'll see if he can do a comeback. You know who needed a comeback? Illinois today. Holy cow. Illinois versus Yukon. It was 23 to 23 and the next thing you know it was 53 to 23 UConn. A 30 to nothing run. I've never seen anything quite like that. What's happening? My name is Quinn and I am the creator, producer, and head coach of this program. Quinn David Furness presents the
Starting point is 00:00:38 Beantown podcast. In case you're wondering, yes things are a little bit different right now. This is partially out of testing out some new software, partially out of laziness. We are recording two new things going on. So we are using a Windows computer to record this. I'm using Audacity, which I've tried to use once or twice before in the past for the Bean Town podcast. The pros, easy software, runs like a charm, hopefully knock on wood, no weird cutouts that we get with GarageBand. The cons, you can't do two mics at once.
Starting point is 00:01:17 So if I ever want to get back into the two mic game, having guest hosts on and that sort of thing, I would need to get a device, basically, a mixer, where I can plug in two mics and then just plug in one source into a USB. So that's part one. Part two is we're actually not even on our Samsung Q2U series. This is a Bob Barker-esque microphone,
Starting point is 00:01:41 probably from China, that I got for Rachel so that she could be on the show more frequently. It's very long it's very skinny and We're recording on that tonight. The laziness part is just like hey, you know, I had my computer open watching the Cubs game They're losing to ever all my teams are losing tonight fun day but it was just like you know what let's let's let's see if we can do this you're trying to transition away from garage band the struggles have been much maligned I mean my MacBook Pro was old when I started using it for Queen David Furnace Presents the Beat On
Starting point is 00:02:20 podcast seven seasons ago and here we are still limping along, having all sorts of issues. So this isn't meant to be a final product, a finished product, anything like that. The vision would be use Audacity, because it seems to work very well. Get a sound mixer for when we want to do two record, two mics at once.
Starting point is 00:02:42 And obviously, got to figure out the intro and outro music situation. Presumably not a very challenging thing to do. It's just on Audacity. I literally have no idea how to do any of that in terms of a second track for that sort of thing, fading in, fading out. She fading out she'd say he'd and now
Starting point is 00:03:05 uh... with that i would be down i don't see no sign today's just a daydream tomorrow will be passed out away get on the roller coaster they think time today
Starting point is 00:03:22 you gotta be now and now why not be Thinking time today, you gotta be. No, no, no, you wanna be. Get on the health of Skelter. OK. Your first Beantown podcast listener engagement, Nugget of the Week. Name that band.
Starting point is 00:03:38 It's Oasis. She's fading out. Liam Gallagher is the only one who can make a three-letter word into five syllables. Without a doubt. That's enough with the singing, I promise. Not even buzzed. Kind of an interesting situation here.
Starting point is 00:04:03 It's 7.45 p.m. on a Saturday night, not our normal recording time. Well, Rachel is at a Bad Bunny concert, and I'm the DD for a pick-up after the fact. And then we're going to the suburbs because it's Easter tomorrow. Jesus may or may not be coming back. We cross our fingers at this point.
Starting point is 00:04:25 The darkness has never been stronger, really. The second night, you know, the whole thing that, you know, Jesus rose from the tomb three days later. We've talked about this ad nauseum on the show before, but this whole three days thing, I think that the Roman calendar was messing up a little bit because last night I checked, Jesus died on Friday night, like dusk. As the sun was setting.
Starting point is 00:04:48 And then literally 36 hours later, he's out of that tomb. So I don't know how we go from 36 hours or three days, but it is what it is. Before I got here, this is the worst thing. It was about to say, listener discretion is advised when you're listening to Bean Town Podcast. Someone will occasionally use some language. I'm too, his podcast is objectively terrible.
Starting point is 00:05:10 When you get a hair stuck in your tongue slash your permanent retainer on your bottom set of chompers, chomper is a dinosaur from Land Before Time, two and five, and probably some of the later ones as well. It just throws off your whole mojo. But yeah, I've got to figure some stuff out. This microphone, it's got a long cord, which is nice, but I still have the tie wrap around it, just limiting my mobility a little bit.
Starting point is 00:05:39 I know the easy thing would be, hey, Quinn, what if you just take the tie wrap off? And I was hesitant to try it, but let's go ahead and see how it goes. See if it helps out with the mobility. That's better. I just can't podcast if I'm not comfortable. But yeah, it's a big time DIY episode, right? No intro music, no outro music, new software.
Starting point is 00:06:02 We're really crossing our fingers that everything works. I did a little bit of testing. I was able to export an Audacity Feltoon MP3, so hopefully there'll be no issues in that department. That'd be a big bummer. But yeah, we're gonna, we're gonna, so yeah, to recap the story, I'm not drinking or anything right now. I had a couple of beers earlier watching that Illinois game. That was so promising. It was literally 23 to 23 with a minute left in the first half, and then eight minutes into the second half, the next time Illinois scored.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Excuse me. It was quite literally 53 to 25. I've never seen anything quite like that in the Elite 8. But let's not linger. Let's do a quick shout out to our sponsors, and then we got a couple of things we're going to jump into here. I got to be completely honest with you. We've done about 320 episodes of the Bean Tom podcast before. I feel extremely out of my element right now.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Holding a new microphone, and out of Samson, and using a software I'm not familiar with, I'm like staring at the screen, unclear if what I'm saying is registering. I think it is. I'm seeing some bar movement. B-A-R-R-E, good workout. But just kind of nervous. You know, it's like, what if we spend 45 minutes recording this on a new mic, new software, and it just goes to shit? That'd be very disappointing, to put it lightly. So we're just holding out hope.
Starting point is 00:07:40 If you are listening to Quinn David Furnish Presents the Beantown podcast later on, and it's like a five minute episode because this one didn't save and I just got frustrated, then that's what happened. Although you wouldn't be listening to this one, so it doesn't make sense. Running to our ad sponsors here, and then we're going to jump into a couple different things. It was opening day on Thursday, so we're highlighting new ballpark food.
Starting point is 00:08:02 We did this last year. It was a lot of fun. It's of course, you know, it's our Easter. It's our Ten Commandments. Ten Commandments is on right now on ABC. If you're listening and it's still within 48 hours of the show being published, there's a good chance that Ten Commandments is still going on. They might still be crossing the Red Sea. That's the thing about it. You know, in real life, Moses parts the Red Sea. Pretty unbelievable, but you know what? It happens.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Seas part from time to time. But how long did it take these Israelites to actually walk? I mean, the Red Sea is pretty big, right? Even if you went into one of the narrow channels, an inlet perhaps, maybe a sound, Puget Sound, Red Sound, Red Sea Sound, how long did it take them to walk across that? And you've got to believe, here's the thing no one talks about, you've got to believe that ground is pretty mushy, right? I mean, I remember detassling after a rainstorm and you're barely getting your feet out of those mud piles.
Starting point is 00:09:08 You trudge through the corn rows. Imagine the bed of a gigantic sea, a saltwater sea, nonetheless, that's been underwater for, according to biblical realism, at least three to four thousand years at that point. Maybe less. The Israelites, I don't know. Let's just say, even if God created a thousand years before the Israelites had to cross it, that's still crazy. How smushy, mushy, gushy, ooey, gooey would that ground be? So did they have good, you know, my grandfather growing up
Starting point is 00:09:45 used to have, we call them waiters, right? These big tall boots, they go up to your knees. You wear them when you go fly fishing in the river. Did they have a million, was rubber invented back then? I don't think so. You know, you see, you watch Ten Commandments, Exodus, Broadway, all that stuff, Prince of Egypt. And well, let's stuff, Prince of Egypt.
Starting point is 00:10:05 And well, let's just put it this way. When they discovered King Tut's tomb inside the Sphinx 10 years ago or whatever, I don't remember him wearing waders. Now, it makes sense. He wasn't the one who had to cross the Red Sea. King Tut, of course, chases the Israelites to the banks of the Red Sea, but then God sends a fireball
Starting point is 00:10:24 and a pillar of, I don't know, what do you think was inside that pillar? Sodium chloride? Argon, an argon pillar? I don't remember. Sulphur. There's a sulfur sea in the Bible, New Testament, but nonetheless.
Starting point is 00:10:38 But you see, they're chasing them in sandals, typically. You figure the Israelites probably have the same technology, or worse, they were enslaved. You know, God spent so much time on those 10 plagues. P-L-A-G-U-E-S. You know, kind of putting down. Here is God's fatal flaw, if we can get sacrilegious for a second here.
Starting point is 00:11:02 It's a very, it's dependably hedonistic. I don't really know what hedonistic means, but let's just use it in this context without checking. What's the word, it starts with a P. It's basically a plagal. That's not right. This is killing me. Listeners at home are just dying. It's basically pagan, pagan. This is a very pagan podcast. Pagan. God spent so much time on those 10 plagues saying, oh, you know, King Tut and Ramses and all the Egyptians,
Starting point is 00:11:41 we're going to turn, we're going to, you know, basically put you guys down. We're going to give you to turn. We're going to, you know, basically put you guys down. We're going to give you bloody water. We're going to give you bloody stools. We are going to give your women that time of the month. It's going to be that time of the week, right? It was a lot of blood, if I remember the 10 plagues correctly.
Starting point is 00:11:57 What God should have been doing, he should have been focusing. And this is what I say in sports, too. It's like, focus way less on what your opponent is doing, in this case, the Egyptians. And really try to prop up your own players. If it was just like, imagine in baseball, if you were just really terrible. You had no offense, but your guys
Starting point is 00:12:16 were really good at sliding into second and taking out knees, chase-out-least style. It's like, OK, well, that's going to work for you. That's going to help you out a little bit. Or maybe you're really good at throwing at batter's heads. You knock them, you give them a concussion. You knock them out. They're star players done for the game.
Starting point is 00:12:34 It's like, OK, you accomplished something that's positive. But you still need to score some runs, right? So rather than just putting the Egyptians down with these 10 plagues, I don't know if he was confined to the 10 or if he just like, round numbers. But what if instead of like 10 negatives for the Egyptians, it was like seven negatives for the Egyptians
Starting point is 00:12:55 and then three positives for the Israelites? Positive number one, waiters. Waiters so that you could walk across this presumably accounts to a salty marsh, a red marsh. So number one, waiters. Number two, probably better food, you would think. Because they were survive. This was like pre-Manna days.
Starting point is 00:13:21 What did they even have? Did they raid the Egyptian 7-E 711 and get some tzatziki and hummus or something? I don't know what they have in Egypt. Probably not a lot, because their Nile River was all bloody stools. So like a cheeseburger or something. And I understand you think, well, it's endurance.
Starting point is 00:13:43 You're going to want more sustainable, healthy food, like more clean meats. I get that. So I don't know, like quinoa or something. Quinoa sounds like something they could grow in Egypt. Quinoa could have been the seven plagues and the three pros. Yeah, your plagues, you get your pros. And then the final one could have been, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:14:05 God could have done something to avoid the whole 40 years of wandering in the wilderness sort of thing. You think, you know, the way that they sort of frame, the authors frame it in the Bible, it's sort of like, oh, well, the Israelites brought it upon themselves. Like, they didn't have to wander for 40 years, but they kind of fucked themselves. But it's like, well, maybe God just kind of sucked it.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Maybe God got lost. Have we ever considered this? Because you look at a map, and when you're a kid, it's like, oh, the wilderness, probably not that big. But you look on a World Atlas nowadays, it's like, dude, the wilderness over there, the empty quarter, whatever, wherever they were, Iraq, Syria, Detroit. It's huge.
Starting point is 00:14:49 It's a big area. Obviously, it's not Detroit. So they're wandering around, and you're like, oh, well, yeah, they brought it on themselves. They had it coming. But in reality, it's like, well, maybe they just got, he couldn't get them to the land of Canaan or wherever they were supposed to go,
Starting point is 00:15:03 because God got turned around. Even God gets turned around. So seven plagues, three pros. Number one, waiters or a sturdy boot. Number two, we said better food, quinoa, cheeseburger, something of that nature. And then number three, I would say, like a Rand McNally
Starting point is 00:15:25 Atlas or something. Great Death Cab song. Your Quinn David Frens presented Beantown Podcast Listening Assignment of the Week, Rand McNally, from Death Cab's most recent album, Asphalt Meadows. I'm an even bigger fan of the acoustic version, although both are spectacular. Great song about being on the road.
Starting point is 00:15:45 So to come back to what, how we got into this 10 minutes ago as we were going to do an ad read, but before that I was going to let you know what was going to happen on the show today. Well that's number one, or that it was number two. Ballpark food is number one, but we accounted for number two. So there you go. And we have a trivia question for you as well, as well as our new segment, Big Question of the Day. And then before ad read here, another new segment, Worst Ad of the Week.
Starting point is 00:16:12 PNC Bank, I was watching Mark Esports Network Cubs game right before I started recording here. PNC, PNC, Beyonce, new album, right? I've heard. PNC Bank is doing an ad campaign. And you're right. PNC Bank, I have never seen advertised on television before, but they're doing it. But here's their stupid thing, their whole like, I need Rachel here, she knows the terminology and the slogans and language, the lingo, if you will. if you will. Their thing is that they want to be boring. They're a bank that's been around since 1865 and they're thrilled to be boring. And it's like you get where they're coming from right? You don't want the whole Wells Fargo angle.
Starting point is 00:16:55 You don't want the scandal. But it's like do you really want to be boring? That's the word they chose. It's not like delightfully simple or spectacularly straightforward. It's we're boring. And then they got Christy Montopoulos, who you know is an actor, been in a bunch of different things. He's Silicon Valley, this guy fucks. Russ is named Russ, Russ Hennoweth or something like that. He's also Brian the boom guy from the ill-fated ninth season of The American Office.
Starting point is 00:17:29 And he played the father in the NBC television adaptation of A Christmas Story, a live television event, like four years ago. Great times. Christie Metopoulos. Good actor, but he's our spokesperson for this thing. And the whole commercial is like, PNC, yeah, we've been around since 1865.
Starting point is 00:17:46 We're boring. And I'm just watching that thinking, like PNC hasn't made an appearance on television airwaves in 100 and however many years since the Civil War, 160 years more or less. And now we're coming on, our slogan is we're boring. So that's a new Beantown segment of the week. Before we do our other segment,
Starting point is 00:18:11 big question of the day, which we introduced a week or two ago. A shout out to our sponsors, HomePrior to Oregon. When you need your home inspected in central Oregon, don't trust any old Joe Schmo. Go with someone who's been in the industry for a while. He's grounded, he's established. He can help you find all sorts of things wrong with a house that you never knew existed. HVAC, no problem. Roofing, done.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Gutter, clogage, Bush League. Call Steve at 541-410-0316 or go to homeprideoregon.com, although we learned that might not be the best. Might be like when I was 12 years old and I was going to buy a baseball glove online, so I went to dicks.com. And it was forever changed that day. It's interesting. For a site called dicks.com, there
Starting point is 00:19:00 was a lot of boobs on there. Interesting stuff, good stuff, wholesome content. Not really, but something you say to ease the awkwardness. But more importantly or more reliably perhaps, email homepartorganatgmail.com. It'll get you taken care of. Tell them Quinn sent you for a 0% off your free consultation.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Homepartorgan inspection perfection. Also, the Samson Q2U series and speak a lot of sacrilegious stuff on the show tonight. Yeah it is our it is a show without a Samson. It's the first show where we've used an external microphone that is not a Samson in potentially ever on the Bean Town podcast. So yes it does feel a little bit weird but I'm just test driving this baby out. I don't even know what brand it is. I looked it up on Amazon right before I started.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Some nobody I've never heard of. You'd be surprised though how hard it is to find a Bob Marker, Bob Barker style microphone on the internet. So this is what we found. Hopefully the audio quality comes through okay. I did like two minutes of testing beforehand. It seemed fine. So that's what we're banking on. But Samson will be back soon.
Starting point is 00:20:08 This is not meant to be a replacement. It's not a long-term solution or something like that. The Samson's work just fine, and they'll be back in due time. Samson Q2U series, speaking of Exodus, when God speaks, Pentateuch 10 commandments, 10 plagues, 7 plagues, 3 pros, he uses a Samson. And then finally our good friends at Cuts by Q did a little neck shave this last week, both sides, front and back. I missed a tiny little spot in the back, but it's okay. I'll just wear some high collars.
Starting point is 00:20:41 I look like Elvis in his glory days. I'm thinking that like white power track suit he had with the little beads kind of around the neck and the collar goes real high down there in Tupelo. That's what we're going for. When God speaks, he, oh, the wrong hand. It's embarrassing. Cuts by Q. When you need a fresh juice, something snappy or new,
Starting point is 00:21:07 call the experts. At cuts by Q. All right. Our other segment here, and then we're going to go through ballpark food, and then trivia question will wrap things up. You're not intended to be a long episode. Just mainly because I'm nervous about the audio quality and just the overall production. Two, it's just I don't usually record this late at night.
Starting point is 00:21:32 You know, being tiny is usually a mid to late afternoon kind of thing. And just not a long day or anything, but just I don't like to be talking this late at night. After like 7 p.m., that's usually when I'm done talking it's like either let me sit in front of the TV watch something let me read my book let me like be at a bar watch a sports game listen to other people talk or watch an observer I don't like to talk this late like when Rachel and I and some of her friends went to a rowdy Illinois bar rest in peace Thursday night to watch their sweet 16 victory over Iowa State. Of course, the game started like 9.15.
Starting point is 00:22:14 I was very low energy. I wasn't feeling super social. It's just how I was feeling. I felt bad because it's an exciting time there with a bunch of friends, but I was just like, man, I can't. That in the end, obviously, it was just deafening noise. It was so loud from the music and from the cheers, the roars. It's great, excited for them.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Glad they had that moment before running into Yukon. But I just was like, I can't talk. I can't even. I can't shout at 10 p.m. or carry a conversation. So, apologies to anyone who was there. I was just not feeling social. It is what it is. Our Bean Town podcast, big question of the day, you'll remember we introduced this a week or two ago, week or two, struggling to talk today. It's just, it is what it is. Some of our previous big questions of the day, why do they make cough syrup taste so bad? week or two, or struggling to talk today. It's just, it is what it is.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Some of our previous big questions of the day, why do they make cough syrup taste so bad? What is soap? And how many people actually auditioned for American Idol? So this week's big question of the day, as we introduce this new software recording, and technology, and all that stuff,
Starting point is 00:23:20 we gotta get some more jingles. It's just tough. What I would love would be like, if I could sit here with my microphone, my laptop running, whatever, and I just have like a soundboard off to the side, I'd just like press a button, so I'm like, okay, time for this jingle.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Or intro music, press a button, boom, it starts. It's not like, oh, maybe someday that technology will exist. It does, it's just like, how much do I want to really invest into this? But the ease of use would be nice, even when we get to season 20 or something like that. This week's big question of the day, how do we create new elements? So they've created a bunch of new elements.
Starting point is 00:24:03 They're up to like 160 now or something like that. And I was thinking the other day, I was watching Jeopardy or something like, how do they actually create new elements? Elements in my mind are like, these things are naturally occurring. But now they're synthetic elements. Basically what you have to do is my understanding from taking chemistry when I was 16 years old, 17, whatever I was. Got a B plus, Rock Valley College. Somehow became the class leader in the lab portion specifically, which was a terrible idea,
Starting point is 00:24:37 because basically I knew how to write responses to the lab reports. But that didn't mean that I knew how to do the experiments well. Chemistry is just, man, not my jam whatsoever. My understanding of what you need to do to create an element, because an element comes out like, for an element to be unique and different from another element, it has to be like a different atomic weight,
Starting point is 00:25:03 I think is what it is. from another element. It has to be a different atomic weight, I think, is what it is. Something to do with protons, photons, ions, electrons, neutrons, and perhaps moles. But it sounds like they've been able to create new elements in the past by removing an electron from the shell or something like that.
Starting point is 00:25:26 So I don't know if you do that with tweezers. Obviously not like regular tweezers, but like small tweezers. I don't know. How do we create new elements? If you know, email us. Excuse me. Water belch.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Bean Town podcast at yahoo.com. Again, that's Bean Town, B-A, and TuneIn, at yahoo.com. Again, that's Bean Town, B-A-N-T-U-N-D-O-N podcast, at yahoo.com. Let us know because, and please, don't give us some technical jargon bullshit. I need something digestible, something I can actually understand. OK.
Starting point is 00:25:59 That's my one request. Make it readable. one request. Make it readable. Readable would be a good podcast by and for bassoonists. But readable is not really like a common word so it might not work as well. I was talking to brother of the show Walt Furness earlier today and came up with the idea for a Somali Somali 8, which is someone from the Hornet of Africa who knows fine line. There's something there. There's a TV pilot, maybe like this pirate, a pirate and a pilot. A pirate who roams the high seas looking for, okay, I'm thinking more like Triple D, diners, drives, and dives right now.
Starting point is 00:26:49 A Somali pirate, maybe the guy from Captain Phillips. He's like roaming the high seas. I don't know if that guy's actually Somali or not though. That's kind of an important qualifier. He's roaming the high seas and he's looking for the finest wines in all of the Red Sea and the Bay of Bengal and the Coral Sea and Lake Huron, right? What did I say like that? Huron. He's looking for wines and he's a smally smally and it's like every episode someone knew they don't know the show
Starting point is 00:27:23 so like they think like oh, we're fucked. It's a Somali pirate. He's going to steal our stuff. But really, he just wants to taste your wine. Port is a type of beverage, right? Is it a type of wine? You could have a Port Port. Port Moresby, Port.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Port Moresby, that's Papua New Guinea. Port-o-Prince Port. There's a lot of ports. There's multiple ports. There's not just three or four. There's more like, I don't know, 60. At least 60 ports, I would think. Not as many ports in the US, though.
Starting point is 00:27:54 When you think of famous ports, you think of Port-au-Prince, Port of Spain, capital of Trinidad and Tobago, Port Moresby we already talked about. But who can think of a port in the United States? I don't know. Geography time. Got to be a famous port in Florida or something, right? Port, port. Let's go to Google Maps. Just type in port, see what comes up first.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Portage Park, it's a neighborhood in Chicago. Portage, Indiana. Okay. Port and Park, that's a bar near us. We're not getting anything. Port Canaveral, there we go. But we know that's not like a famous city, Cape Canaveral, that's what I know. Port Huron in Michigan, Port Authority bus terminal. Let's go to this Port Canaveral in Florida. It's on one of the like barrier islands. Way up the coast, east side, next to Cape Canaveral, Kennedy Space Center. It's, uh, how far is this from Daytona Beach? Like 20, 30 miles south of Daytona Beach.
Starting point is 00:29:14 There you go, the most famous port in the United States, port city is Port Canaveral, Florida. If you can believe it. There's just no ports. It's weird. What happened to the US port economy? Does that mean the US doesn't produce a lot of port wine? I'm literally just scrolling up and down the coast,
Starting point is 00:29:37 both west and east coast, thinking, where are the ports? Let's go up to Maine. Maine seems like it would have some ports, right? Welcome to this week's Beatty Town Podcast, where Quinn scrolls up and down the coast looking for ports. Portland. That's not really a port, right?
Starting point is 00:29:56 That's one word, compound word. Portland, Maine, Portland, Texas, Portland, Oregon. Portsmith. Looks like port's mouth. Also one word. Rockport. But no single, no two word ports. Look at these cities in Martha's Vineyard.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Edgertown. Aquafina. Oh, it's Aquina. Aquina, Clis, Overlook. Newport, Rhode Island. Plenty of new ports and port lands and bridge ports in Stanford. That's not a port.
Starting point is 00:30:36 All right, we've got to be done with this. What about Long Island? It's got to have some ports, right? Montauk, East Hampton, Sag Harbor, Oyster Bay. There's bays, but no ports. Greenport, Southport, Jamesport, Brooklyn. All right, that's it. That was this week's Bean Town podcast.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Big question of the day. How do they create new elements? Let's get into our last segment here. So every year, MLB ballparks introduce new foods. I wasn't joking today when I said we're going to keep it relatively short. Because I will know intro music, no outro music. That saves you 10 minutes. And then just running out of gas here.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Jackson Brown running on empty. So we did this last year. It's not a power ranking. I'm just it's a USA Today article I'm gonna go through. I've seen that read word for word. So daring is that. But here are some of the new ballpark foods around Major League Baseball this year. Before we do that, let's check in on the Cubs score. They were losing 5-2 earlier. Let's see how they're. They were losing 5-2 earlier. Let's see how they're doing now.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Still 5-2, eighth inning already. Yeesh. Not good. All right. Here we go. Number one, the Campfire milkshake. This one I actually saw. This was the one food item I was aware of before any
Starting point is 00:31:59 of these articles came out. Because this is down at guaranteed rate, AKA the cell, AKA Kamiskey, or the socks play. So if you haven't looked at this yet, it's a campfire milkshake. It's exactly what you would think. You can get it at the Huntington Bank Stadium Club. It's a chocolate shake topped with graham cracker
Starting point is 00:32:19 and toasted marshmallows served in a Sunday Cup for $15. This thing's pretty big. I'm actually, to be completely honest with you, I know this sounds insane to say, it's 16 ounces. I'm actually surprised it's only $15. This seems like the type of thing you could charge 24 and it would just be like, yeah, it's still just as ridiculous. Curious, how do you come up with a price point
Starting point is 00:32:41 for something like that? Interesting stuff. Yeah, it's basically just like a chocolate milkshake. And then graham crackers and marshmallows coming out the top. And then the rim of the glass or cup or whatever has chocolate flowing down around the rim. This looks fine, but I'll say this. And I know this defeats the purpose.
Starting point is 00:33:02 It's a campfire thing. I'm not a marshmallows person. it's just like pure sugar basically. So milkshake you're already getting so much sugar and dairy, so you got the marshmallows on top, I'm just like, I wouldn't want these marshmallows, it's just kind of an aesthetic thing. So we'll give that like an 8 out of 10. It looks, I mean I love milkshakes and I love graham crackers,ham crackers. But don't eat the marshmallows. Next up in T-Mobile Stadium, or Safeco, whatever they call it now, where the Mariners play the Double
Starting point is 00:33:32 Mitch Witch. So if you don't know, and I didn't until I'm reading this right now, the Mariners have two players in their lineup named Mitch. Mitch Garver and Mitch Hanniger. So T-Mobile Stadium is serving the double Mitch Witch, a sandwich that dedicates one half to each Mitch. So Mitch Garver's side has marinated pulled pork.
Starting point is 00:33:54 This is just on like a, I was going to say it's just on a certain type of bread, but they're different. One is like a pita, and one looks like a Cuban. So one half is basically a Cuban. Marinated pulled pork, Swiss cheese, Dijonais, black forest ham, and sliced pickles on Cuban bread. So it is basically a Cuban. Then Mitch Hanniger's side is grilled chicken breast,
Starting point is 00:34:20 marinated tomatoes, Harvati cheese, bacon, and fried avocado wedge. So basically like a club. So $15.49 for the two-sided sandwich. OK. I'd give that also an 8 out of 10. Or let's give it a 7 out of 10, because half of these rankings are how showy is it?
Starting point is 00:34:36 How flashy is it? Showy-o-tani. And this looks delicious. Like, I would eat both sides. It would be amazing. But it's not really flashy. It's more of just like good for the Mariners who are giving a nod to their players.
Starting point is 00:34:49 I think that's cool. What happens when one of them gets sent down to the minor leagues though? It's kind of embarrassing. Gonna have to change a side. Okay, next up, my old Stompin' Browns, Stompin' Browns, Stompin' Grounds. Words are just tough to come by on this show tonight.
Starting point is 00:35:03 It's like if I was eight drinks in or super high than trying to record, but it's just end of the day. Out in Camden Yards for the Orioles, the warehouse dogs, if you don't know right fields of Camden Yards, basically you have the stadium or the field ends, then you have a patio, like a concrete patio with tables and people standing up there or whatever. And then you have like the street or the walkway.
Starting point is 00:35:33 And then on the other side of the walkway is a huge warehouse building, the old B&O warehouse. And there's like, I think the Orioles team offices might be in there. It's only been hit once by a ball in history. It's Ken Griffey Jr. in the home run derby, which is kind of surprising. It hasn't happened.
Starting point is 00:35:50 It's only like 450 feet or something like that to the base of the building. But that's the warehouse that they're referencing. If you ever watch an O's game, you'll see it in right field. It's huge. Used to house trains and stuff like that. So the Orioles are rolling out new features, yada, yada, yada, okay.
Starting point is 00:36:08 But perhaps the most notable addition comes with its warehouse dog, and I'll describe it to you. It's a foot-long beef hot dog with crispy onions. This thing is loaded with onions. I'm looking at the picture right now, it's huge. Horseradish infused sauce. Okay, so it's horseradish infused sauce. It doesn't really tell you much sauce. OK, so it's horse radish infused sauce. It doesn't really tell you much about the sauce, does it?
Starting point is 00:36:27 Just that there's a 1% dilution concentration of horse radish in there. Not that informative. Pit beef queso fundito and pickled pico served on a pretzel bun. Looks pretty damn good, to be honest. I don't know how much it costs. This is like, if you have any, if there's any, you know, one percent chance that you get heartburn in your life, you're gonna get it from this though. So, that's the warehouse dog. Give this like an eight out of ten.
Starting point is 00:36:56 I think to get a nine or ten is gonna have to be really outlandish. So, there we go. Next up for the Astros, boo, you have the Pennant Pickle Dog. OK, so this is that minute made. The footlong Texas chili Angus hot dog comes with fried pickle chips, dill aioli, jalapeno slaw, and green onions for $15.49. I'm looking at it. It's kind of ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:37:22 They also serve Chinese food, apparently. Some sort of milkshake with mints and popcorns in it. This is what it is, crawfish fried rice. Crazy, crazy stuff, man. That was the end of the article. I should have read the article before I started. Let's go to ESPN.com, see if they have any other ones they want to highlight. Oh, yeah, they have any other ones they want to highlight.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Oh yeah, they sure do. New York Mets. Oh, the Astros, whatever it was, a hot dog, 7 out of 10, crawfish fried rice, 7 and 1 half. I hate, I don't want crawfish, but I do love fried rice. And I think it's innovative. Now, Houston fried rice, we may have a problem. But I guess maybe there's a big East
Starting point is 00:38:06 Asian community in Houston. I've never really been there, so I don't know. The New York Mets at Citi Field have a rainbow cookie egg roll. This is weird. I'm giving this like a 5 out of 10. So imagine a, you know, regular like fried egg roll on the outside and the inside is a rainbow cookie, raspberry jam, a chocolate syrup. This is one of those things where you look at it, and it's like, that's really weird. And then you taste it, and it's like, oh, that's actually pretty damn good.
Starting point is 00:38:34 But I just can't get past it. The egg roll combo with chocolate syrup and a cookie is fine. I think it would work. It's just not one of those weird combinations where light bulb goes off in your head. You're like, this changes everything. So it's like a 6 out of 10, whatever I said.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Mariners we mentioned. Oh, Arizona Diamondbacks, the apple pie chimichanga. I don't know, man. So it's like a burrito with apples inside. And then it's served on a platter with caramel corn, whipped cream, ice cream, caramel sauce, and strawberries. I don't know. You need a spoon for the whipped cream and the ice cream.
Starting point is 00:39:19 And then you're eating this chimichanga with your hands. And then also you you having caramel corn this is just too much this is a it's a bridge too far this one's getting four out of ten for me I love Apple I love everything on this plate individually but altogether no thanks Philadelphia Phillies loaded funnel cake fry Sunday so they may or may not be regular French fries, like sweet fries. I don't know, there's a big dollop of whipped cream on top.
Starting point is 00:39:52 There's powdered sugar and strawberry sauce glazed over these things. They're not potato French fries. Imagine a funnel cake. It's just dough, like a sweet dough. That's what we're going here. That's what we're doing here. But they're in fry shapes. I don't know, it just looks really thin. But hey, I a sweet dough. That's what we're going here. That's what we're doing here. But they're in fry shapes.
Starting point is 00:40:05 I don't know, just looks really thin. But hey, I love funnel cake. It's easily my favorite, naughty, fair food. So I'm giving that a 7 out of 10. Boston Red Sox, of course they do. They have Irish nachos. There's no description here of what goes in here, so I'm just zooming in.
Starting point is 00:40:25 I see red onions, I see waffle fries, I see some greenery, I see some cheese like a white crumbled cheese like Manchego, see sour cream, and then obviously it's Irish, so it's some corned beef or something like that. I'm giving that a five, it just seems dry, not interesting. I'd rather just have like regular loaded fries with like cheese and chili stuff on it.
Starting point is 00:40:52 Pittsburgh Pirates have a renegade hot dog. I don't know what renegade means, but here's what's on it. This one's getting like a seven out of me because it just looks dry. It's a foot long hot dog with pot roast on it, mini pierogi, caramelized onion and pickle slices. I don't know about you guys, but when I bite into a pierogi, the last thing on my mind is like I wish I also had a beef hot dog and pot roast to go with this bite because it's so,
Starting point is 00:41:19 already it's just so like rich and hard to get down. But Pittsburgh Pirates are down with a renegade hot dog. I saw this one also before. Kansas City Royals' Back to Blue Burger. It's a burger with bacon and spinach or lettuce or something like that, tomatoes, some sort of aioli, and a weird crumbled blue cheese but the buns are blue what are what are we doing here we're wasting all our food die we're
Starting point is 00:41:52 gonna run out of blue food I'm making these stupid hamburger buns Kansas City Royals back to blue burger they can charge you an extra seven dollars just to get the blue buns I don't know if that's true or not. The Yankees, milkshake selection. There's really nothing to describe super interesting here. They're in those tall, kind of skinny glasses. They have a butter.
Starting point is 00:42:19 Oh, we lost it. Opened a Twitter tab instead. Embarrassing. Go back to ESPN. Butterfinger Shake, Rainbow Vanilla Shake, Baby Ruth Shake, and Black and White Cookie Shake, Black and White, Seinfeld. I give this like a 9 because I enjoy the fun flavors and the presentation is nice. So there you go. Texas Rangers, I don't know if we've been ranking. We forgot to rank. Back to Blue Burger's like a seven.
Starting point is 00:42:47 Yeah, there we go. The Texas Rangers have a meatball garlic knot slider. You gotta look at this one. It's, they're stacked. I don't know if they're served this way. They're stacked on top of each other. They're sliders. The buns look like they've been slathered
Starting point is 00:43:02 in Parmesan and butter. There is a lot of Parmesan. There is a big meatball. Basically, each sandwich is just like fried bun with a meatball covered in a ton of cheese. But then they're all stacked on top of each other. It's like a leaning tower of peas. I don't know how they got there to stay for the picture.
Starting point is 00:43:20 Are they served like that? It's crazy. This one gets like a 9 out of 10 for me. I do love sliders, I love meatballs, and I love garlic knots. So this scratches me where I can itch. Doesn't make sense. Miami Marlins All You Can Eat Ticket.
Starting point is 00:43:38 So if you're curious, the All You Can Eat Ticket includes hot dogs and chili dogs, nachos, cheeseburgers, popcorn, peanuts, sodas, and water. This is the last thing in the article. I'd give this a 10 out of 10 because it's about time you let us have an all-you-can-eat buffet basically at a baseball stadium. The real question, though, is how much does this thing cost? I want to see, you need someone to like Marlin's all you can eat cost. You're just going to have to do a Google search. Marlin's last thing here on the Bean Tub podcast today.
Starting point is 00:44:12 All you, oh and we got our trivia question too. $52, there you go. Starting at $52, so there must be some sort of premium package. Interesting stuff. So $52 for so there must be some sort of premium package. Interesting stuff. So $52 for the All You Can Eat. I'm going to be perfectly honest, considering a lot of these other things in the menu are like $20.
Starting point is 00:44:33 What if you, because imagine this, you go to a ball game with your wife and your two kids or something like that. You by yourself buy the All You Can Eat package. I would have to read more into this. There's probably some stipulations how they, you know, do the stuff. What if you're just like, oh man, I'm so hungry. Give me like two hot dogs and a soda and some fries.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Maybe you like have to eat it in their designated space so they can watch you eat it. I don't know. But what if you're like, give me that. You walk out of the space. You bring it to your hungry kids, like a bird returning to its nest to regurgitate food into the mouths of the babies. You wouldn't, in this scenario, you wouldn't necessarily have to regurgitate.
Starting point is 00:45:16 You could, but not necessarily. And then you go back for more, right? You get some for yourself, for the wife, for the homeless, all for $52. So I'd have to read more into the stipulations. I'm sure Miami has thought of this. Interesting stuff nonetheless. So there you go. There's your new ballpark food, or at least a smattering, a selection of it. Last thing here, a trivia question. Pretty straightforward here. Just something I stumbled upon the other day,
