Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David Furnace. Welcome to my show. Quinn David Furnace presents the Bean Tom podcast season seven. It's Friday, January 12, 2024. What's happening? What's going on? How are you? My name is Quinn. And this is my show we are one of the top 500 podcasts on the north side of Chicago hello to all the bean heads out there hashtag friends of the podcast hello to our friends in Packie Stan. Thank you for making us the 112th ranked comedy podcast in the great Islamic Republic of Packie Stan the great Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Hyderabad, Kairapas, Karachi, Dushanbe, was a clue on jeopardy yesterday, so thank you all for listening.

Beamtap podcast launched, let's see, January 13th, 2018, so we are officially a day shy of six years from the actual launch date of Quinn David Ferns to be in town podcasting a lot has a lot has changed since then I think you know there's always going to be a lot changing in six years regardless irregardless one of our horse names but man six years ago sitting there in my apartment in Baltimore it was my tiny studio. I think it was like 400 square feet or something like that. My carpeted flooring and just a place where I've had more of us nothing. I had the flower chair was my couch. Didn't even have a couch.

Just an unarmed chair that was devastating to my lower back. There I still think of this from time to time. So I don't experience too many back issues just across the board lately in my life. Although I had one winter, I think it was two winters ago now, where I slipped a disc like twice in the span of a month maybe. That was pretty painful. But I recall, you know, the flower chair is my main chair in Baltimore. I just said it is a studio apartment. So I had my bed and then a flower chair is my main chair in Baltimore. I just said it is a studio apartment So I had my bed and then a flower chair and then like another chair next to the flower chair that you could sit down on But it was never in use because there was more than one person in my apartment at like like three nights for the entirety of the two years I lived there anyways So you just got this chair

Terribly old from my parents house. I don't even know where it was acquired originally, but kind of they were kind enough to let me have it Starting in my second sophomore year of college when they moved to Oregon. I took it over but this thing because it was my primary sitter if you will I Almost Added in an h to that word which reminds me a listener's question is advised as always almost adding an H to that word, which reminds me, listen, discretion is advised. As always, we're like 312 episodes in something like that. When you're listening to the bean tub podcast,

we'll occasionally use some language and this podcast is objectively terrible. It was my primary sitter, not my primary shitter, but over time, it must have just been like a combination of bad lumbar support and then terrible posture, sitting that thing, reading applications all day. And there was a moment, it must have been that it was in the summer, I think, oddly enough. I think of it as like a winter activity, but summer of 2018, I guess, where I was in so much pain that I could like barely,

I remember playing trivia mothers in federal Hill, which is my go-to trivia spot. I remember one night playing trivia, I'd walked down there, you know, two and a half miles or whatever. There was a night where it's like, get up from your table, it was playing by myself, to go bring the answer, scrap a paper to the quizmaster Ian. And it was like so hard for me to literally just stand up from the table and walk. And it's just so bizarre thinking about 23-year-old Queen who was like nearly immobilized because of back issues.

What ended up helping eventually, I did a lot more hip stretching. I did the cool, like what they call it, like the scorpion stretch where you lie on your back and you like take your thigh and you like drape it over your other leg. That has a good one. The uh I don't know what it's called. It's like the uh the the the the cat stretch where you like lie live face down on the floor and you like push your archer back inversely with your with your arms like pushing down on the floor. That's a good one. And then kind of the inverse of that where you like move your lower back way up on the floor, that's a good one. And then kind of the inverse of that, where you like move your lower back, way up into the air, stick your booty out,

and you try to like, get your elbow down on the floor. Those were the exercises that helped me out with that. All this is to say, we've come a long way here in six years now on season seven of Quinn David Fernos presents the Bean Town Podcast. This is gonna be our tribute to MLK here. It's, I think, can cock anything crazy. I literally pull up the history.com article.

10 things you may not know about MLK in junior. So we're gonna go through that. I did a super quick perusal, just to make sure it was all legit. And yeah, I learned a couple of things, and so we're gonna be going through that. We've got a trivia question of the day that is not about MLK day. A lot of, you know, I could learned a couple things, and so we're gonna be going through that. We've got a trivia question of the day that is not about MLK day.

A lot of, you know, I could have made a trivia question out of a number of these MLK things, but I figure, you know what, let's take a little bit of a left turn, and let's learn about something else that happened this year in history. So we've got a trivia question coming up, and then we of course have our,

this week on the campaign trail, which speaking of which, okay, let's jump into this week on the campaign trail. I also mentioned that we're drinking a delicious moktail here. Very similar to what we've had in the past week, but we got our sparkling water, our ice cubes, lemon juice, lime juice, pickle juice, and that spruced it up this week. We used a lemon in a recipe last week. I don't even remember what the recipe

was, but we used half of the lemon, so I had two big wedges left. I just dunked the whole wedge right in there, and I don't think it's I really should you know when I I always get two glasses worth out of out of the it's, I really should, you know, when I always get two glasses worth out of out of the soda stream. I really should consider in my mind it was like if you submerge the lemon in there that all those juices and stuff are gonna reverse osmosis themselves into the drink, but I think it's really just like a big sitting floating chunk of lemon and it's not actually impacting the drink that much. Which reminds me, I spent like five minutes last night learning something new.

I'm trying to do that here in the year 2024 and I'm not just talking about getting on Duolingo. I've got a nine-day streak going. I feel pretty good about that. But I was thinking about pickles, Dill Pickles specifically, and I was like, you know, I understand what you're supposed to do, right? Cucumbers in a brine of some sort, jar it up, cover it up, whatever. And that's that pickles, right? It's a very like basic thing.

I recall getting my brother, friend of the podcast, brother of the podcast, Jack, a Pickling book for his birthday, maybe in 2022 perhaps. But I never got to read it myself. I was shipped right to him. So I spent like five minutes watching actually. I just YouTubeed how to make pickles. And I think the second hit was an Alton Brown thing, like a young Alton Brown, maybe 15 years ago at this point.

And he had such a kind of a loot, it has a negative connotation I think, but a complex system where it's basically like, you got these mini cokes. And what I learned that was interesting is the brine, when you make it, it was just like water and pickle salt, I think it was called, but I thought it was like vinegar or something, but what was interesting about it was, your water has to be filtered

because if you don't filter it out, it'll be as chlorine in there, which is what we're drinking right now, unfiltered water, bringing all that chlorine, disinfecting my intestines, baby. But you don't want it to disinfect your brine because then they can't properly ferment. So, but he had this really crazy process

of like sticking the pickles in there and then filling up a bag with more filtered water and like a plastic bag and like sticky on on top and then it has to be between like 68 and 70 degrees And of course, he was doing it in his wine cellar and that's where you really lost me. It's like I can't make pickles if I don't have a wine cellar But uh, yeah, it was it was pretty interesting that the top thing about that is like unless you a mass production kind of thing going, it's just a lot of work for like five or six pickles, which would surely be delicious once you master it. But we're talking like days a week, we can have something like that to just like get this tiny little jar of pickles.

I don't know. One of those things where I definitely want to try it out just for just for the fun of it not so like oh I can make my own pickles and save all this money of the grocery store you're not gonna save any money but I think of the the the ca the shipping cost of pickle sold alone but you know it's one of those things where it's like when I have more space when I have more room I'd like to try it out same with you know like making your own whiskey or something I don't really know how that stuff works but it's definitely something I want to try it out. Same with making your own whiskey or something. I don't really know how that stuff works, but it's definitely something I want to try

just because I think it's interesting and fun. One of the toughest things about living in a apartment is not small by any means, but you know, a lot of room for hobbies. Because you gotta pick and choose your hobbies, right? I got piano taking up a decent amount of space and I got my PlayStation courtesy of future father and La Jose Ramos in the other corner of the living room.

There's only, I got a new plant last week. That was pretty cool. I bought it online. I was like, you know, I'm spending so much time working from home now in this new job. We have a couple of plants, one I bought from Jules Asco, which was like fine. That one's new at Replace One that we had from a friend that fell on the floor and was unsalvolved jibble.

That would be a good jeopardy like eight syllable word category, unsalvolved jibble. Tough to say. Speaking of syllables, a quick side thought I had when I was running the other day. Is Ricky? Does Ricky... Okay, so you know the comedian who created the office, right? I think we all know him. I came up because Golden Globes were last Sunday, I think, in Jokoi, and everyone was talking about how terrible he was, which he was pretty bad, and it was like bring Ricky back, whatever. It does, there's Ricky's last name,

have two syllables or three syllables. This is something I was saying about, where I was like, I always said it like three syllables. Ricky Jervais, Jervais. But the more I hear people say his last name, I'm like, is it actually just two syllables? Like the AI is just, there's no pivot there. It's just AI is one thing.

Rickie, Ricky Dervace. Either way, it's subtle, but that's a thought I had. Email us, beentownpodcastatiyahu.com. That's beentownbea and he broadcastatiyahu.com. Let us know how many syllables do you put in Ricky Jervais? What I bought was a red and thorium. It's kind of cool. It's like, it's not small. It's probably, I don't know, a foot and a half from the like pot up into the air. It doesn't seem like it's that hard to take care of so far, although it's been like a week,

so we'll see. The toughest thing this time of year is getting good direct sunlight in Chicago because two things, one, the way our apartment is positioned, our windows face north and south. So right now it's just by the north one, it gets a little bit of morning light, and the rest of the time it's not direct sunlight. I really should move it to the south one, but our other plants are there. And so you just gotta pick and choose your battles, but it'll be better in summer. But yeah, so we got this,

well, the other thing I said two things. One, bad sunlight, or oh, two, it's just winter in Chicago. I mean, you legit get about, I don't know where are we at right now, probably like eight and a half hours of sunlight every day, something like that. So it's just kind of tough. But yeah, we got that one from online, we got one, a plant from Juleskow and they just like a nice little cacti kind of guy, cactus looking guy from a local plant store here, like South Port and Roscoe something like that. If you haven't heard, there's a

media sensation sweeping the nation right now. Chicago's Ratthold, speaking of Roscoe, it's right by assistant like the 1900 block of Roscoe, which is maybe a, I don't know, three quarters of a mile walk, pretty much a full mile walk from where we are right now. But pretty fun, pretty cool. If you're wondering what is a rat hole, it's literally like a pothole essentially but smaller, but in the shape of a rat. I don't remember, I haven't read this story, I don't know exactly how that works like geologically, but it's kind of cool. It's like some literally something out of like a road runner cartoon or something where there's

the outline of an animal in the ground in a hole. It's kind of cool. But yeah, literally if I run my normal route to the river, I run west along Roscoe. And if I want to do that tomorrow, for instance, I don't know what my plan is yet but I could go into the middle of the street and take a selfie with the rat video. Get real low to the ground. Today on the campaign trail or this week on the campaign trail, I had to google it because I know that there's another debate between Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis this past. I guess it was last night of the night before I can't recall.

But I Google, you know, Nikki Haley, what's, what's the latest with Nikki? Because I was coming up soon here. I don't even know when it is, but it's got to be very soon. Apparently, in this jogged my memory big time, Rand Paul came out with a video and launched a website on Friday. He did all this just for this declaring that he's never Nikki. So he per fox news, he has like a whole movement going, a whole website. Just about being never Nikki, never Nikki.net, which outlines his criticisms of the former South Carolina governor and UN ambassador.

The website features a red line to the name Niki and says it's paid for by Rand Paul for a US Senate. So let's check it out. Neverniki. You don't see a lot of dot-nets these days. I don't even think I could get a beat on Pockys.net if I wanted to. I think those are reserved for some other people. First from other people. Alright, here's the video. As I told you yesterday, I'm ready to say something about the presidential race. I've had a long relationship with Donald Trump and there's a lot to like there.

Okay, this goes on for 100 seconds, but the craziest thing about this, and I'm not advocating for going to never in Nikki.net, like it doesn't need any more SEO or anything like that. But the crazy thing about the, so just this website in general, it's just like, the background is a black and white image of Nikki Haley, and then there's this video,

which is from Twitter, but just embedded into this site. Then below that, a message from Rand Paul, which is like two sentences, then a red button that I'm going to click on this is why never nicky. And this is just like his essay basically, but it's not very long. It's probably, I don't know, what is this 200 words, something like that. And then below, back to the homepage, there's nothing clickable on that why never nicky. It's literally just a page with text. then below that is just a petition

You put in your zip code your phone your email your name says add your name That's the entire website like what's the point of the petition Why do you need to sign a petition saying that someone who's like in a distant third place in a Republican primary Has zero chance of winning anything Should like not be president. That would be like petitioning, someone's starting a petition online to say,

being Tom podcast should not be nominated for a Grammy. It's like, yeah, no shit. Didn't, I don't think we really need a petition for that, do we? But this video is, I mean, I don't know what I'm expecting from Rand Paul, but it's literally him standing outside low audio quality, like the wind is blowing, you're picking up all that feedback. He's like standing next to a large oak tree with like

buildings in the background. I don't know if it's Washington, Tindy Sear. It looks more like Arlington than Washington, Tindy Sear, but it's in like a park in the winter wearing sunglasses. His tie is a skew. And that's the main centerpiece of this why or never Nikki Donette. She should be disqualified per Rand Paul. Anyways, my last thought on this is that this is a larger thing we could do an entire show on and maybe we'll I don't know. I don't, I'm not informed enough to really be able to but I've never been informed on the show and that hasn't stopped me before before.

This year's crop to use the great term from a little buff boy Sam Richardson. I got to check it out if you don't know it. What a crop. That's a big crop. This year's crop of Republican nominees is so terrible. I don't know. Okay. So maybe it's just the thing where it's like your favorite season or cast of SNL was the cast of your 13. So if you use that logic for me, when I was 13, that was 2008. Let's do a quick Google search. I mean, I could come up with some good names off the top of my head, but You know this was 2008 was Obama verse

McCain right after tier two elections of Bush What I'm getting at here is The 2008 Republican Party. Those guys were like, this is hardcore. You gotta get plugged into this. These debates are great, great fodder. The personalities are legendary. I mean, I haven't even pulled up the site yet,

but off the top of my head, you got of course McCain. You got Romney, you got Fred Thompson Reston piece will rest in piece McCain too But even other guys like Perm and Kane and he wasn't you know 2008 guy. I think he was at key came after that, but You know these this era of guys Mike Hucklebley, right Ron. Okay. I forgot to mention this, where Rand Paul came wasn't part of 2008. He came around like 2012, 2016 probably, but his dad, Ron Paul, from Texas, he was around during this stuff. Here's the full list of people we mentioned Huckabee from

Arkansas, Romney, from Massachusetts, Ron Paul from Texas, Fred Thompson, there he is from Tennessee, Alan Keys. I don't even remember who that was, but he's from Maryland. Duncan Hunter, I don't know who that is. Oh, and then of course, how could we forget Rudy, Giuliani, Rudy? Other guys whose names we might remember, I don't know, Tommy Thompson. I don't know anything about Tommy Thompson. But it's just like, man, this was, uh, and I know, I mean, you jump ahead four years, you get like Paul Ryan in there and it's just, man, different time this year, we got the most bizarre, such bogus thing too, it's like, it doesn't matter. When, when have you ever had in history, it's like, you got these primaries, these debates and everyone's voting, it's like, it doesn't actually matter because the person

is going to win. It hasn't been like part of any of the action. He's just doing his own thing off to the side and everyone's treating it or covering it like, oh, this is the Nikki Haley vs. Rhonda Santas live on CNN. It's the main card. No, that's literally the appetizer because Trump's just going to win again. But yet, it's like you got Nikki Haley ronda sand is boring boring boring you got the Vivek Ramaswami or whoever's name is isn't like fifth place not interesting Tim Scott I think finally dropped out the the the guy from Florida. Man I didn't even take like a Jeb Bush at this point frankly just something to liven it up. I don't know, man.

So that's this week on the campaign trail. I would say things are heating up, but it's like, okay, Iowa caucus happens and Trump wins by 40 points. And then what, New Hampshire, I don't know, just kind of not interesting. Let's do a quick shout out to our sponsors. No panel in the day today, but we will shout out our sponsors. And this is an interesting one. And I don't have an answer to this right now.

HomePrideOrgan.com. Once last time you guys visited it. Hopefully every week, because we talk about it every week. For me, the last time I visited it was yesterday. I went to HomePrideOrgan.com and the domain name was not renewed. So, dad, I don't know what's going on over there in Oregon, but that is not good for business. If you want to come on the show, clear things up or send me a message being Tom Podcasts, yahu.com, that would be great. I do not know what

is up with that. The Facebook page is still active, but HomePrideOrgan.com is not. I do not know what is up with that. The Facebook page is still active, but homepriorgan.com is not. I haven't tried homepriorgan at Gmail.com. It's the email address, but I'm slightly concerned. Regardless of all of this, guys, when you need your home inspector in Central Oregon, don't, I was gonna say the F word, don't F around with this. Why not?

It's an adult show. Listen to discretion. If I just don't fuck around with this. So why not? It's an adult show. Listen to discretion. If I just don't fuck around and find out, okay? And they're added into a more of a phrase that we all are comfortable with and familiar with. You don't want something to get missed or bypassed on your inspection because you went with some guy, you found out Craigslist who's never done this before.

And then you're stuck with a frozen pipe or a python comes out of your toilet or there's bouillon cubes coming out of your shower or you your door doesn't lock or the HVAC is missing the H bad this time of year you only got a VAC system or your your you though you I don't know your bed breaks from banging too much guys whatever it is home prior to organ

at gmail.com I can't even push the website this is devastating to this ad read Plumbing cooling heating shingles my friend texted me the other day good friend of the show Megan Megan Lundgren She's formerly known as Megan Lundgren. She's Mary now. She was on our show back in season one in Baltimore told me about a leak in the roof and I tell you what if you had Called Steve at 541-410-0316, had him check out this home before he purchased it, none of these would be issues, you'd be saving yourself tens of 20s of 30s of thousands of dollars. So guys, make the smart choice,

go with Steve, 541-410-0316, or email homepriedorganidegmail.com. So it's not as snappy as homepadorgan.com, right? You got to add the ad Gmail. It's tough on the tongue. It doesn't matter, we can still sing. Oh, no, that's Cuts by Q. Here we go.

Homepad Organ inspection, perfection. Speaking of Cuts by Q, when you need to first do something snappy or a new call the experts at Cuts by Q, damn, I meant to do a neck shave. A back of the neck shave. I always do a friend of the neck shave weekly because you just kind of have to neck beards are not really in these days. If I was like a professional hockey player for the Ottawa Senators, I might, what are

the most obscure? And I know there's only 30 of them, 31. Nationally hockey teams that you can drum up. I think there's more obscure hockey teams in terms of big four sports than any of the other sports. I guess for me like my fandom there are no obscure baseball or football teams. There's like one or two basketball teams including the Sacramento Kings. Like who's that? Who? Who? The Sacramento Kings are a a team New Orleans Pelicans same deal but in hockey it's I could come up with a bunch Ottawa Senators Calgary Flames

San Jose shocks I know they've been very good lately but the Florida Panthers really Florida Panthers even this team's been good too, but the Florida Panthers really, Florida Panthers, even this seems been good too, but like the Carolina Hurricanes, where do they play? Raleigh, I think so. Actually, I think that's right. Uh, I mean, you could just list a bunch of the Canada ones because it's boring and easy, but legit like the, uh, the Buffalo sabers. Like you talk about Buffalo, you talk about sports, everyone just thinks about the Buffalo Bills. But there's actually another team there

called the Buffalo Sabers. And how like no one's ever heard of the Buffalo Sabers before, but they're a professional hockey team. Interesting for me, probably not so much for you. Point being, when you need a fresh do, something snappy or new, call the experts at Cuts by Q. And of course, our good friends and Samson Q2U series.

Samson was the first ever microphone we used here in the Bean Tum Podcast. Audio quality was so good. The reviews were so glowing. Everyone emailed Bean Tum Podcast. Yeah, who that kind of they said, when you sound so good, gosh, darn it, never changed.

And 300 some episodes, seven seasons later we never have here in Quinn David furnace presents the bean time podcast and that is it do in part to our good friends at Samson when God speaks he uses a Samson and we'll do a quick moment of silence for our fallen soldier Adry the TV guide who was on board for all of three weeks or You know six weeks whatever it is we got we got three issues of the TV guide and Even though my spirit point said I got a yearly subscription or a one-one year subscription

We're missing about 40 some episodes. No. I was watching the Seinfeld episode on the bike a little bit earlier. This is a gar store Indian, which one of the other outside of Jerry and Winona, the other plots are Elaine and the TV guide in San Lloyd, Reston Peace, and then they're on the subway and you get off at the one stop. I think it's Queensborough Bridge, Queensborough Plaza maybe. And you get to try to get the euro and get back on the subway before it leaves.

What is it, like 12 seconds or something like that? I got to read into more about like the actual legitimacy of that. I'm sure it was a real thing at a certain point in time, but it's just a crazy phenomenon. And at the end, Elaine's on the subway and Al Roker, who's on the front of the TV guide, gets on to any points that are he makes the face. Yada, yada, yada, yada. Rest in peace. Excuse me, Sam Lloyd. Best known is lawyer Ted from Scrubs and his lead singer of the Blanks. Great Ocupela group featured extensively on Scrubs and his lead singer of the Blanks, great Acapella group featured extensively on Scrubs Bill Lawrence.

As the worthless peons, the hospital band. They get a lot of airtime as the show progresses and they're great, they do a good job with it. What are the different types of music throughout the show that the worthless peons sing? There's cartoon theme songs, they sound like speed racer, underdog. There's a prime time, they sing, you take the good, you take the bad, you think, the facts of life, the facts of life, never seen the facts of life.

There's one scene where they sing, welcome backuter, but it's welcome back coxer. It's like the entire hospital. It's not just them. Actually, they might not even be there. I don't know. Can't really remember. There's the Wizard of Oz episode where they sing somewhere with a rainbow. Great version. There's the like soft finale. It's not the actual finale, but it feels like it is where they're in Hawaii, I think, or the Caribbean somewhere. And they sing, hey, yeah, by Outcast, that's a classic. That episode is so great. I mean, it's towards the end.

And I know that there's season nine, the interns or whatever, but like, we officially just say that doesn't count. Season eight where JD's like quitting the hospital and he like walks through the hallway and the song by What's his name? I can't remember book of life By a Peter Gabriel is that right? That's playing guide sing sledgehammer I always and I know this is like not they're not that close, but I get Peter Gabriel and Peter Frampton mixed up. Peter Frampton is like, oh baby, I love him away.

Right? And Peter Gabriel is slay, tamah. It's called Book of Life by Peter Gabriel, I believe, and he like sees all the people across the eight seasons. And at the end, he's like visualizing Christmas with him in Cox and Turk and Karla and Elliott and Jordan whatever. Anyways that's the like I was gonna say that's the actual Scrups finale technically it's not which is stupid but the whole like Ark or maybe it's just an episode I don't know where they go to the I don't remember why but

they're in like the Caribbean and I think that's when like JD and Sarah Chalk like finally like get back together for the last time because they're so on and off again throughout that entire show. And Sam Lloyd's like singing outcasts in the background and it's like a beautiful sunset. That to me feels like, okay, if you wanted to end the show there, you could have done it.

Moving ahead here, it is our MLK, after all that, after 30 minutes, it's actually our MLK Junior Day episode. MLK Day is Monday, January 15th here. This is still, well, still. It's a year I get off work. Rachel actually is off work now too. It wasn't a thing until, I think at some point when I was in college, this switched from my school

that I work at slash used to attend specifically. Rachel, it wasn't a thing in her past company. It is now in her new company, which is exciting. So we both have a three day weekend. This is very like straightforward then we'll end with trivia. I, you know, I, we do this occasion where I just like reading things actually that I find in the internet And I provide my commentary so this is kind of one of those things. I don't know

We'll go through the it's 10 top 10 things you may not know about MLK and We're just gonna go through it and I don't know how long this is gonna take, but hopefully we'll all learn something. I know I, when I did a quick perusal through these facts right before we started recording, I know that I definitely learned some things, including number one, which was just one of those things where it's like, I absolutely no idea. So here we go, going for number one, and number 10, again, this is just howhistory.com sorts this.

Marluthic King's birthday was Michael not Martin. So basically they have these big headlines and then a small blurb, like a sentence or two under each one. King was born Michael King Jr. on January 15th, 1929. In 1934, however, his father, a pastor at Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church, traveled to Germany and became inspired by the Protestant Reformation leader Martin Luther as a result King Senior changes his own name as well as that of his five-year-old son. That, we started off hot, holy cow. This wasn't like a

regional Dwight change's name to Elton John because it was easier to get famous that way. I've legitimately never heard of anything like this in my lifetime. Can you imagine me five years old? You got a well-established name, Quinn. And your dad literally goes on a business trip, comes home and is like, hey, Quinn, now we are Justin. You and me both, pal.

I mean, I guess they had the same name, so it would be like if finding with Steve and Steve came back from I don't know came art and he was like or rock church or something and he really liked pastor John Sprecker and he's like when We are both John now. I'm John senior. You're John junior. Call me JJ. That's, I mean, five years old. This wasn't like, oh, we tried this, we tried out Michael for two months,

and now we're going to go with Martin. Five years of life. That's legit. One of the craziest things I've ever heard. It, very interesting stuff. I hope that was new for you because I hadn't, I had read that he changed the name when I browsed this topic, but I didn't read the blurb, so I didn't know about the trip and Martin Luther and stuff. That's shocking. Number two, King entered college at the age of 15. King was such a gifted student that he skipped grades nine and twelve before in rolling in 1944 at

Morehouse College. The alma mater is father and maternal grandfather. Although he was the son, grandson and great-grandson of Baptist ministers, King did not intend to follow the family vocation of the OCAT-ION. Until Morehouse President Benjamin E. Mayes, a noted theologian, convinced him otherwise, King was ordained before graduating college with a degree in sociology. Yeah, so he skipped two grades of high school, started college at 15,

which means by the time he was like 18 or 19, he had a bachelor's degree, pretty impressive. Number three, King received his doctorate in systematic theology after earning a Divinity degree from Penn's Crosor Theological Seminary, King attended graduate school at Boston University where you see his PhD in 1955. The title of his dissertation was a comparison of the conceptions of God and the thinking of Paul Tillich and Henry Nelson Wemen, of course.

Some good names. There were a lot of good names in theheimer, Oppenheimer, which we lost, which we watched for the first time ever last night. We sat down, we committed to it, we tried to get as started as early as we could. It's a three hour exact, three hour movie. And we made it. We like, didn't pause and stopped and have to take a half time break. I just went straight through and watched it. Brilliantly done. Definitely not a movie where it's like dragging and you're like, oh, how much time is left in this movie?

You're like, no, I want to see what happens next, which was superb. I mean, it's Nolan. And I've told this to a lot of people today, because I told a lot of people I'd finally watch it up and I'm in the last night. The only Nolan movie Looking back right now where I'm like I really

Didn't like this when it came out and I don't really ever want to see it again was tenant Everything else. I mean he has like what 12 movies now. He's getting up there everything else. I won't list all of them, but you know my personal favorites are Inception done Kirk any of the you know Batman's But Dark Knights by far the best. Memento, I got to watch again because I liked it, but like I only saw it once and it's really one of those moves you need to watch a couple times. I'm a big fan of this going way back, but Prestige is fantastic and then one that probably a lot of people don't even know about

is Insomnia, which is a remake of a Swedish film, I believe it is, but it's Robin Williams, Al Pacino and Hillary Swank. And then he has the very first movie, which I think is called Memories, which I think I've seen before, but I don't, I don't, couldn't tell you anything about it. But we watched Oppenheimer last night,

the amount of names, all these like chemists and physical physicists, mostly where like I've heard of this person but I don't really know why he's famous. So you do Google search and there's a million physicists from like the 30s and 40s where it's like oh yeah I remember hearing this guy's name at some point like high school history class but I don't know anything about him. So it was cool to see that. But just the cast of this film, absolutely ludicrous. I mean, obviously killing Murphy. Next on the bean time pockets, Quinn lists the entire Oppenheimer cast from memory. No, just the guys I remember killing Murphy and then Emily Blunt and it's going to say Rosemond Pike

or then I was going to say Penelope Cruz, neither of those are right. What's her name? The, we'll come back to it. Robert Downey Jr., they got a place, Han Solo is his aide in the movie. You got Clark, what's his name? Jason Clark, the Australian, he plays a guy in there. You got Josh Peck from Drake and Josh. He's in there. Just the list goes on. Oh, you got Benny Safty, one of the guys from Uncut Gems. He's in there. The list goes on and on and on.

The list goes on and on and on. But it doesn't stop the fact that I can't remember. There's like two females in the entire film. And I can't recall the other one. Florence Pugh, that's her name. Uh, man, Damon, of course, I got the list in front of me now. Josh Hartnitz in it for more than I thought. Casey Affleck's in it for like one, one scene around me. Malik has like one line.

Oh, Kenneth Branagh plays Niels Bohr. There's even more like Dane De Han. I thought Dane De Han was like out of show business. He remember he was, um, he was Harry Osborne in the, uh, Andrew Garfield Spider-Man's. He came back. Uh, there's, uh, uh, De Paul, um, David Desmalscheon. He's came back. There's a DePaul alumni, David Desmalscheon, he's in it, he plays a lawyer. Okay, that's the

end of that. But the list goes on and on and on. It's crazy. How many people were in this? And then a million of those people were like, I've seen this guy before, and I don't know what his name is, but you have to look at their IMD, IMDB page to be like, what show was he in? Because I've seen this guy recently. The other thing I was going to mention when I saw that King attended BU for his PhD isn't that the school at the start of social network when Zuck is at the bar with his, is it Rooney Mara is that who's like place his girlfriend at the start of the movie and she's like

I have to go home, I have to study. He's like you don't have to study. You go to BU. Good line. Yeah, Runeem Mara, that's who it is. Erica Albright, I wonder what Sherry did in life. I probably not much because she went to BU. Number four, kings, I have a dream speech was not his first at the Lincoln Memorial.

Six years before his iconic oration, great word, at the March on Washington, king was among the civil rights leaders who spoke in the shadow of the great emancipator during the prayer pilgrimage, tough words to say, for freedom and may on May 17th 1957, before a crowd estimated at between 15,000 and 30,000 King delivered his first national address on the topic of voting rights, his speech in which he urged America to give us the ballot, drew strong reviews and positioned him at the forefront of the civil rights leadership. Good stuff. Number five, this was this was a kind of a shocking amount because you're aware of this and you're aware of like his letter from prison, but to see this number was crazy. King was in prison nearly 30 times. According to the King Center, the civil rights leader went to jail 29 times. He was arrested for acts of civil disobedience

and untrumped up charges, such as when he was jailed in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1956, which I had been 30 miles per hour and a 25 mile per hour zone. Been there, guilty as charged, you were truly. Number six, King narrowly escaped an assassination attempt at a decade before his death This bluerbs kind of long so I'll just try to see and September 20th 1958 King was in Harlem

Sunday copies of his new book. He's in a department store He's approached by his all-aware curry woman asked if he was MLK. He said yes She said I've been looking for you for five years. She plunged, I didn't know this. She plunged a seven-inch letter opener into his chest. The tip of the blade came to rest alongside his aorta, King underwent hours of emergency surgery. Surgeons later said that just one sneeze would have punctured the aorta and killed him. From his hospital bed, he issued a statement of firming his non-violent principles. Said he felt no ill will towards his attacker. Number seven, it kings last public speech for told his death king,

come to Memphis in April 68 to support the strike of the city's black garbage workers. And then a speech on the night before his assassination, he told an audience and Mason temple church like anybody. I would like to live a long life on Jebdi. He has his place, but I'm not concerned about that now. I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the Promised Land.

And I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. There you go. Number eight here, members of King's family did not believe James Earl Ray acted alone. Ray, a career criminal, pled guilty to King's assassination, but later he candid. King's son Dexter met publicly with Ray in 1997 and argued for the case to be reopened. King's widow, Coretta, believed believe the mafia and local state and federal government agencies

were deeply involved in the murder. She praised the result of a 1999 civil trial, in which a Memphis jury decided to assess that nation was the result of a conspiracy and that Ray was set to take the blame. I didn't actually know that. A US Department of Justice investigation released in 2000 and he reported no evidence of a conspiracy.

Yeah, of course they reported that. Number nine, King's mother was also slain by a bullet. 1974, Alberta Williams King played the organ at a Sunday service inside Ebenezer Baptist. Marcus Wayne, Chanel, Jr. rose from the front, Puged, Drew, two pistols began to fire shots. One of the bolts struck King who died steps from her son had preached nonviolence.

It goes on and on and on. The the gunman said Christians were his enemy and He had to receive divine instructions to kill King's father, but his mother was closer instead. What a lazy S.O.B Got the death penalty which was later changed the life in prison Because the King's family opposed capital punishment. And number 10, on our list, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Cesar Chavez are the only other Americans to have had their birthdays observed as a national holiday. In 1983, Reagan signed a bill that created a federal holiday to honor King of the holiday,

first commemorated in 1986, it celebrated on the third Monday in January, close to the civil rights leaders, January 15th birthday. So as actual birthday is actual MLK day this year, that should be two days off for work. So there you go, I don't know about you. I learned some things, especially some crazy things. Like the Changes His Name Thing was wild to me. The letter opener next to the aorta,

I didn't know about that one. So there's some good stuff in there. Hopefully you learned something. If you have any other good MLK facts, email us bean-tom podcast at Yahoo.com again. That's bean-tom B.A.N. and podcasts at Yahoo.com. Okay, last thing here,

our trivia question of the day, it's gonna follow a reliable format for us here, this day in history. So this day in history, January 12, 1969, this rock band releases their debut studio album, it's, is this the right word? Aponymous? Let's Google this. I didn't write this before and I just got the Wikipedia article in front of me. Uh, I don't know if that's the right word or not. What I'm getting at is, you know how bands will just name an album. The same name as their band name. That's what this band did. Okay. So again, the date January 12, 1969, so we're what? 55 years ago now. And if you want, there will be a bonus question

here. But if you want a clue, I will give you the track listing. Here we go. And I mean, if you're trying to think, is there a good clue to give you, if you're like, you know the band, but you don't want it to be just super obvious, because the track listing would probably make it super obvious. Let's see if there's anything else I can give you. That's a good, a good, oh, the album cover, here we go, shows the Hindenburg disaster. That's what's on the cover of this album, which is a pretty bad-ass album cover.

Okay, so this one's probably a more obvious clue, but here's the track listing from it. Nine tracks total, good times, bad times. Babe, I'm gonna leave you. You shook me, Dyson confused. Your time is gonna come black mountain side, communication breakdown. I can't quit you, baby, and how many more times.

So there you go. There are your clues. If you still need time to process or guess, go ahead and pause. The answer to this week's bean town trivia question of the week is led in Zeppelin, which makes sense. Why this just clicked for me, which is really stupid, but makes sense. Why the Hindenburg Exsters on their album cover because their band name is Zeppelin.

The bonus question of the week, how many self-titled, self-titled, that's the word I'm looking for, not an eponymous. How many self-titled albums did Led Zeppelin release? And they were given numbers so that it wasn't just Led Zeppelin 1969, Led Zeppelin 1972, you know, it's Led Zeppelin and then Led Zeppelin 2, 3, and 4.

I just gave away the bonus. I didn't even give you time to think about it. Yeah, they're first four albums. I'm not aware of any other band that ever did anything like this. It's weird, but it's iconic. It's their thing. The first four leads up on albums are just Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin 2. It's all Led Zeppelin 3 and Led Zeppelin 4. I'm personally most familiar with Led Zeppelin 4. I had that one at the I had all of them, but I listened to that one a ton when I was growing up. But Led Zeppelin 2 also has a whole lot of love

What is and what should never be. Heartbreaker, live and love been made. You hear that one on a radio all the time. Ramble on is a classic one. Moby Dick is a great John Henry Bonham drums solo. Let's Eppel and 3. Also, I mean, these are all iconic. So I don't know why we need to go through all of them. But Let Zeppelin 3's immigrant song, Gals, Pull, Tangerine, that's the way. Probably not quite as many hits as two, but then Led Zeppelin 4 was just, oh, they didn't even give it a title.

I didn't even, we're all learning something here. Led Zeppelin 4 is how it's known as today when they released the album. They didn't even give it a title. How is that possible? If I was releasing an album, the studio would be like, no, this is a required field. You have to type something in here. So they later just called it Bloods Upland 4, but it was just an unreleased album.

This one's my favorite. It's not even close. It's so good. Black, rock and roll, battle of the more, stare it to heaven, misty mountain hop, four sticks going to California when the levy breaks, just eight songs are just pure magic. Man, I love Led Zeppelin. If you're just like, oh yeah, Led Zeppelin,

never really listen to them, class of rock, I don't like it. They have so much like, folksy kind of stuff. Robert Plants voice, so iconic. They wrote one of the most like together bands of all time. One of those bands like you know modern day war on drugs where every single person is just like a master at their craft and you put the forum together you're just like this is ridiculous. I mean you legit have like one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time.

Robert Plant. You've got Jimmy Page, so I think his 80-something birthday was just like yesterday the day before. You know, Jimmy Page is up there like top five, top 10 guitarists of all time. You know, John Paul Jones, who is just, he could do everything. He wasn't just like, oh yeah, it's a rock band. He's the bass player. He's keyboards synth. He did like everything else. And it's just like extremely talented. Oh, and then you have probably the best drummer in the history of mankind. John Henry Bonham. It's either Bonham or Peart.

Peart, Peart, one of those. You'll Peart, Rush. Rest in peace to both those guys. I mean, you could make a new room for either one, but they're okay. It's one of those two. That's Zeppelin for you. That's what I got, you could make an argument for either one, but they're okay. It's one of those two. That's Zeppelin for you. That's what I got for you.
