Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David Furness. Welcome to my show. Quinn David Furness presents
the Beantown podcast for Sunday, September 22nd, 2024. What's going on? What's happening?
How are you? My name is Quinn and this is my show. I am the creator owner and chief barista chief brewing officer CBO
Sometimes it's a community based organization like the bean town podcast and sometimes you're a chief barista officer
Sipping on my coffee here an unusual Sunday morning edition of the bean town podcast. I was playing some hymns
earlier
for
Miss maple over here the new co-pilot,
new co-host of the Beantown podcast, little three-year-old shelter dog,
newest addition to the family. She just did a big sneeze.
We should have had an interview for a dog for that big sneeze.
I played for Maple, let's see, we played Blessed Assurance,
the old rugged cross, Holy, holy, holy, and another one, maybe how great thou
art. I can't remember. Just, you know, getting her into the evangelical tradition here. We're
going to send her out into the mean streets of Chicago and go convert some sinners in
a little bit here after this rain lets up Yeah, maple. How you doing maple?
Want to do interview with a dog right now? Well, let's wait till I enter music ends. You're gonna get overstimulated
We've got so many toys here. Maple's been in the house. This is her eighth day now. She's got a Woodstock
She's got a Snoopy. She's got a snuggle puppy
From grandma Jane Snoopy and Woodstock from Grandma Betty, got
a little sheep from Auntie Mandy, got a little squirrel creature with a rope inside from
Grandma Jane, she's got a stick from the pet store that she's not that interested in, but
it's up here anyways.
She's got a little tennis ball over there that squeaks from Grandma Betty and Grandpa
Jose. So shout out to all the family members who
have generously sent Maple some care package goods. Taking it one day at a
time. But mom's at her Pilates class and we're not freaking out. So
that's a win in the right direction. Maple went out into the rain for the
first time. Probably not ever. I mean, she's three years old, but just a couple of minutes ago and she was still able to go potty. So that's good news.
And she doesn't smell too bad either. Gave her a little towel off at the top of the stairs.
So interview with the dog. You want to do it Maple? You ready? Interview with the dog. Here we go.
She likes the Samson Q2U series. A little bit of sniff, no licking, probably good for sanitary purposes.
What we really gotta do, we gotta do some ASMR with your little clicking nails on the
hardwood floor.
You just go click, click, click, click, click, click all day, don't you?
Click, click, click, click. click, click all day, don't you? Click, click, click, click, click.
At least your anxiety meds are working. Anxiety meds for dogs.
2024, who would have thought? Yeah, it's Sunday morning. I mentioned Chief Barista Officer. I got my coffee going here.
My Trader Joe's medium roast. My Ufda mug.
Ufda, great Norwegian phrase. We were in, let's, we'll talk Nordic nations and stuff in a second here with our trivia. This will be a quick episode. As we are usually saying
here in the Bean Town podcast, but actually, you know, Maples always about two seconds
away from a freakout and get the Vikings game starting here in less than an hour. So got to fire it up for that.
But speaking of Norway, we were in Stoten, Wisconsin, Friday into Saturday, big Norwegian
town. Love you drive downtown. Got the Norwegian Norwegian flags. We'll talk about that in a
little bit here. Adorning A D O R N I N G the town you got the Norwegian flags, we'll talk about that in a little bit here. Adorning, A-D-O-R-N-I-N-G,
the town, you got the Norwegian Heritage Center there. It's just a good place to live, isn't
it, Maple?
Shout out to my friend Ryan Singer, college roommate, who came on the show once, I believe,
we did a farewell to Farwell episode. So we started at Far that far well is the name of the
street we lived on together up in Rogers Park and this probably was season one
where I actually started the Bean Town podcast I came back those guys were
moving out of the apartment because they lived there for two years I lived there
for the first year so Ryan probably would have come on there about six years ago.
What are we up to, like 340 some episodes here?
Ryan was on one of the first, probably like the 20th episode,
something like that.
So congratulations to Ryan and Alyssa.
And excited, happy we were able to be part.
Thank you for including us in your special day.
I don't think Ryan's ever listened to an episode of the Bean Town podcast, but maybe this will be his first one. What
do you think, Maple?
Hmm. Maple has a nice little brown amber-ish coat. Golden, like a golden ale. Imagine,
imagine Maple, imagine a nice Oktoberfest beer. That's kind of what you look like. Cocker
Spaniel King Cavalier,
King Charles Cavalier Spaniel mix, we think. Three years old, we got to check the rings.
And one week until you can give a bath, right? She got spayed two days before we adopted her,
so it's been about 10 days, 11 days since she was spayed. And she's holding it together like a champ.
Now that she's got Snoopy and Woodstock over here, she's kicking ass.
I had a...
So, oh, we should mention listener discretion is advised when you're listening to the Bean
Tom Podcast.
Number one, we occasionally use some language.
Number two, this podcast is objectively terrible.
Also shout out to our good friends in Pakistan.
Thank you for making us the 112th ranked comedy podcast in the great Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The
good news is I haven't heard anything about the Pakistani immigrants eating
dogs so Maple you don't have anything to worry about. She looks very concerned
right now. I said you don't have anything to worry about. Not great at
listening yet. Not picking up on negatives. It's the Haitian ones right? We can't go to Springfield Ohio.
That's what Mr. Trump said. That's what Mr. JD Vance said right?
Oh yeah we can't we can't go to Ohio not safe for us.
Jackasses. Speaking of which this week on the campaign trail
I was actually in my research for the show five minutes before we went live
came across a new story that I have not been following,
but it's Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina, I think it is, it's North or South, I think it's North, Mark Robinson, this big old black guy, who is the Republican nominee for governor this fall, and he's running against some other guy, some Democrat presumably.
But the big news as Trump and Vance are out on the campaign trail,
they're again peppered and sounds like Lindsey Graham has been speaking on it too, peppered with questions.
So from what I can understand, I don't have the full story, but it sounds like a
couple of weeks ago maybe, or maybe this past week, I don't I know CNN dug up some very interesting comments on
a porn community site called nude Africa that mr. Robinson made and some really
out there things about how he was a black Hitler and how he wanted to bring
slavery back and Mark Robinson saying wasn't me. But it's interesting, the
Republicans so far from I just read JD Vance's quote on it. And then Lindsey Graham, they're
really kind of hanging them out to not hanging him out to dry, but they're not. It's not just
like a blanket defense where it's like, Oh no, yeah, he never would say something like that.
So JD Vance was basically like,
we'll just have to let the investigation play out,
and Lindsey Graham basically said,
yeah, he's gonna have to defend himself.
Which kind of makes you think that
maybe they're all on newtafrica.com, I'm not sure.
I personally haven't been there,
but for show research purposes,
it could be something worth looking into later.
Now, not going to happen right now. It's a Sunday morning. It's sacrilegious.
But nudeafrica.com. Not a sponsor of the show, but maybe they could be.
I think we got to get to the side step for a second.
I think we got to get one of those cool like sigma male, which I learned about yesterday.
Jordan Peter, Jordan yesterday. Jordan Peterson.
We went to home school with that guy.
Jordan Peterson.
Alex Jones, Manly Man, Conspiracies Theory.
Maybe a supplement.
A supplement could sponsor the Bean Town podcast.
Shout out to Ryan Austin Liggin and Kristen English.
Got to catch up with them yesterday.
Podcasting Legends.
You know them from the Car Ride Convos podcast as well as their multiple guest spots here on our very
own show, Quinn Dewy Furnace Presents the Bean Town podcast. Got to catch up with
them a little bit yesterday, learn more about what a Sigma male is, although I
still don't really know. It's not Ryan, don't worry, and it's not Kristen either.
She's also not identifying as a Sigma male, but we'll leave it at that. Just got
to learn about some other people in the in our circle
who are now Sigma males. And I think, dude, we need, what's the, it's always sunny,
Fight Milk, we need something like that to sponsor this show. Of course, nothing
could ever take the place of our good friends at Home Pride Oregon, our good
friends at the Samson Q2U series, or our good friends at Cuts by Q. And then, you know, we do, we don't advertise this too
broadly, but I also do weddings. Call Father Q, I just gave out a business
card at a wedding this past Friday. That's how you build your brand,
that's how you spread awareness. So, 815-298-7200 or email us. We don't have
a separate email for the wedding one. Maybe that's why we haven't gotten a gig yet. People don't know how to get in touch with me. You can
always just go to bean town podcast.com. Oh, I was showing the website too. I was showing
bean town podcast.com slash cuts dash by dash Q. People were like, Oh, Quinn, you're here.
So nice. Oh, Rachel, it's a beautiful big blowout. Like how did this happen? What did you do?
And I was like, here's the website guys. So flat rate $20.
We even do dogs, dog grooming. You hear that maple? Now $20. You're gonna have to work
pretty hard, but maybe not as hard as five, 10 years ago. Thanks to Joe Obama's inflation.
Terrible weak policies. We got to drill, baby drill, bring down the cost of goods. Good stuff.
Because I'm pretty sure Joe Biden definitely isn't drilling the most of any president
of all time, right?
But yeah, Mark Robinson, learned something new today this week on the campaign trail.
It's kind of, it's, you've been noticing this kind of GOP guys not holding firm together,
right?
At the debate, Trump kind of threw V guys not not holding firm together right at the debate Trump
kind of threw Vance under the bus and yeah I'm just I'm dude I'm pumped we got
I think it's October 1st so nine days like next Wednesday maybe is the Vance
walls debate I'm pumped for that it's gonna be good stuff cuz like that's
gonna the the whole Trump for Trump first Kamala debate was just kind of a
circus, right
You have like one serious candidate
well, I mean obviously they're both serious candidates, but one candidate who like is good at politics and then another candidate who's just
you know kind of a meme at this point just says what everyone wants to say whereas Vance who's despicable but is like a
pretty solid politician from a, you know, like keeps himself together kind of perspective.
So to see him go toe to toe with Waltz, who's not even a traditional politician, but is
fantastic on policy and just a great guy.
And I'm going to be excited.
It's not going to be the circus that Kamala versus Trump was but hopefully we get some more substantive. Well, I was gonna say hopefully we get some more substantive policy debate, but not if
JD just wants to keep doing
Springfield Ohio eating the cats eating the dogs. We'll see
Speaking of JD I was I was trying to come up with more of these things to turn it into a whole
show but I ran out of gas after two.
And so we're just going to kind of, it's going to be a little bit of a hodgepodge episode.
We got two things here and then I wanted to mention Mufasa, the Lion King.
Well we'll just mention it now and then we got our trivia question.
That's going to be the show today. Mufasa, The Lion King, December 20th, 2024, only in theaters.
And usually we come up with something fun, something new to plug as part of it.
Last week, James Earl Jones was dying.
I don't know, Maple, you think there's still time for you to be an extra?
Maple, what character would you want to play?
It could be one of those spooky hyenas that
Whoopi Goldberg voiced you could be a spooky hyena you could be a little prairie dog
She kind of looks like a prairie dog
She can stand up on her hind feet for a handful of seconds
And you know it's like the the start circle of life the big musical number
I think I'm fairly certain there's a shot of prairie dogs standing up and looking over yonder across the horizon towards
pride rock. Pride rock should definitely be like a sub-genre of music right
something you would listen to at a bar in Boys Town maybe Roscoe's it's kind of
like it's it's like this is if the Scissor Sisters were a little
bit more rock and roll. That's what Pride Rock would be right. I don't know maybe Jake
Shears does the soundtrack. Maybe Jake Shears will sing Can You Feel the Love Tonight. Can
you feel a little love tonight. Oh Maple you like you like that? You like Scissor Sisters?
I don't feel like dancing.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Come on and do, do, do.
My two feet will find a way.
Yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't,
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't,
I don't feel like dancing.
No, sir, no dancing today.
Don't feel like dancing dancing great sister's
most famous song Elton John wrote it or co-wrote it I can't remember if it was
just him or if he had help of other people so Mufasa find your pride
December 20th maple will be their front row seat we'll see if she there's still
time for her to be an extra could Could be pretty fun, huh, Maple?
Yeah, you could be a lion, too. A little baby lion.
Two things. So, rest in peace to JD Souther,
famous singer-songwriter who worked very closely with the Eagles and
Linda Ronstadt and
James Taylor. Some of my favorite JD Suther songs that he either wrote or sang. I think my all-time favorite is
Her Town 2, which is a duet with James Taylor. Fantastic song off of the
I think Dad Likes Work, James Taylor album. And then he, know wrote or wrote or co-wrote heartache tonight
classic evil song new kid in town is a great one and
he had his own band to
it's like Suther Hillman and I
Don't know Vance something like that
One of those cries be stills a Nash one which is all the guys last names, but some good songs in there too. So I thought what better way to honor
JD Suther than what if we, you know, remastered some of his greatest songs and we call it HD Suther.
And you put it out there, it'll go gold.
Maple can even do one of the tracks and get your howling in there. Good howl during Heartache Tonight, right? Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo sticks huh so HD Souther it's a really not flushed out idea but it could be
good and then grandma grandpa so kindly sent maple a snuggle puppy which is a
medium sized stuffed dog with closed eyes as if he is sleeping and inside he's
got a little velcro belly kind kind of like maple right now.
Her little belly is glued together because she got spayed. But inside there's a little heartbeat
that you can turn on and off. That's the snuggle puppy. I thought, well, it kind of fits, right?
You can stash stuff in his tummy. What if we invented a smuggle puppy? And it would be for
smuggling drugs across the border. You don't even have to
smuggle them across the border. You could just smuggle them anywhere. You know, we want to make
this a home good, right? This isn't just like an international drug smuggling ring kind of thing.
Everyone should be able to smuggle drugs even if it's just from the living room to the bedroom,
right? Maple, you got your anxiety medication. We could stick that in your smuggle puppy. And I think, you know,
to really bring this idea home, it would have to be some sort of very racist Mexican or Colombian
caricature that's a dog, right? And then we can sell it to MAGA and then the whole thing is like, okay, you bought
your pro-Trump inflammatory dog, a smuggle puppy, you put the drugs in there and then
it's the dog's responsibility to rip its head off. Just like how they want to, you know,
close the border, probably put all the immigrants immigrants to death I don't know what their updated platform is on the whole
immigration southern border issue but that's smuggle puppy we can make a
fortune off of this even though I don't understand the market myself there's
like what is how many votes did Trump get last election like 40 million votes
or something like that so maybe even more than that I don't know maple what do you think about smuggle puppy could be good
he can even be a little smug he could have a a smug look on his face these are
all homegrown ideas I got to take smuggle puppy to shark tank who do you think
would do a deal are there any any like crazy right wing sharks?
I don't really know any of their politics
other than Mark Cuban.
I could see, I'm trying to think like,
so email us, beanthompodcasts at yahoo.com.
Again, that's beanthompodcasts at yahoo.com.
Which of the classic, there's like six OG sharks, right?
Which of them is most likely to be a big Trump
megahead? It feels like a lot of these billionaires are already, you know, tend
to be lean more right-wing than left-wing, but I'm trying to think if
there's any like clues I've ever seen, and some of this might be public
knowledge, there might be, you know, people out there that like you know
they're right-wingers, but Cuban is very left-wing. I feel like Mark or not Mark but Robert
Hercevich right the guy immigrated from wherever it is Croatia, Slovenia. He seems like a pretty
woke guy he's like a big outdoor fitness guy he's an immigrant. I don't I don't get the sense that
he would be a huge right winger. Damon John, I think, is kind of hard to read.
I could see him being a little pro-Trump.
I just don't know him that well.
Kevin O'Leary is Canadian.
I feel like he wouldn't even have a stance on this stuff.
I feel like Kevin O'Leary is one of the guys who
would be like buddy, buddy with Trump behind closed doors.
But I don't know if he's stupid enough to actually endorse Trump's public policies.
And then you got the ladies. You got Lori.
You don't even know what her last name is.
Grineer.
And then you got Barbara.
Barbara kind of seems like the sneaky one who would actually be pro-Trump.
But I don't know she's also like very self-made tough to say email us I would like to
hear your thoughts on this or you can just look it up if it's out there and
let us know what you find this came, another thing I wanted your opinion on, email us and then
we'll finish with our trivia question here, is gender ambiguous names. And this came up,
we were watching, there's a new, I don't even know if it's that new, but Rachel finished
watching it last night, I think I saw most of it. But I is what is it called? The Secret Lives of Mormon Girls is on Hulu. It was like a six
part episode. It was essentially just a spiritual parallel, not successor, because there's also
always should mention this, but basically the real house is in Salt Lake City, right?
Because so these are all it's like eight Mormon women, they're all in their mid to late 20s.
They got kids, they're struggling with their faith,
their identity.
I think most of them are friends,
some of them it seems kind of forced.
I don't really know what the whole thing was about.
They've got this group they call Mom Talk, M-O-M-T-O-K.
But one of the boyfriends or baby daddies on the show is Dakota.
And remind me, I'm gonna finish up with,
we're gonna mention Real House of Salt Lake City.
But when I was watching the show,
it got me thinking like gender ambiguous names.
Obviously there's a lot of them out there,
but I just came up with a handful of my own
and I'm curious for audience participation, email us, Bean Town Podcast at yahoo.com. I'm curious, for audience participation,
email us, Bean Town Podcast at yahoo.com.
I'm gonna give you five gender ambiguous names,
and you tell me which way you lean.
If you hear this name,
do you instantly think male or female?
Maple, your ear is pinned back, that's embarrassing.
And I will, I'll let you know which way I lean.
So number one is Dakota.
This guy and the name, his name is Dakota.
And I gotta tell you, I think for me,
I leaned female on Dakota,
probably just because I'm a huge fanning head.
Dakota Fanning, saw, not Snow White.
Let's see, The Spider, Charlotte's Web, Wilbur the Pig.
My dad, Steve, took me to see that in theaters when I was a little kid
Shout out to Dakota fanning. I'm leaning female on Dakota
Next up Casey. This one is such a 50-50
Casey is like definitely this
Nashville guitarist who plays at like three different bars on a Friday night and
that still could be male or female right so Casey I have no idea if I gun to my
head which one would I lean probably female but I think I've probably known
more Casey's that are male than female so I don't know third up I just had to
throw this in there for fun, Quinn.
Now, there was like one other person
in undergrad music school who wasn't my grade, I think he's a year older than me, but he was a Quinn.
But then I think most of the other Quins
I've come across when females, of course,
Quinn Fabray, classic glee character.
What's that actress's name?
Diana A. Grant, She was really hot.
Not physically. Well, she was. But just for like a hot second right when Glee was out, she did that
I Am Number 4 or Number 7. I don't know which number she was.
You know? But I feel like she hasn't really... I don't know if she's still an actress or if she retired but Quinn I think I mean I got a guy got a lean male, but you know
It's more much more common as a female name
My penultimate one here is Riley
I think Riley is the name of the main character from inside out. It's also you got Riley Cooper super racist
Former Eagles wide receiver with flowing locks. So which one are you gonna go with Riley? I
think I lean more towards female for Riley, but
It's a toss-up and then finally Blake
Blake Lively
Blake Lewis American Idol royalty, right guys. He's saying
He'd do a jamiroquai song once an American Idol
can't remember Blake so there you go five names five gender ambiguous names
let us know which way you lean Dakota Casey Quinn Riley Blake or just email us
what is your favorite gender ambiguous name maybe not your favorite but what is
the most like 5050 one you can come up with I was sitting there on the couch
last night I already had like three and I was like what are two really toss-up ones I can
come up with and that's when I added Riley and Blake it was just a total
total total toss-up Jesse that's a good one Jesse Pinkman Jesse the cowgirl
tough to say maple is that a gender ambiguous name I feel like you wouldn't
you wouldn't have a boy dog named Maple,
but I can't really explain it.
I guess most flowers are just by default female names.
But yeah, Real House is a Salt Lake City season five.
We couldn't decide what it was last week
and I still don't remember.
I think it was season five debuted this past Wednesday night.
So you got your four OGs still in't remember. I think it was season five debut this past Wednesday night. So you got you got your your four OGs still in the mix. Well and we got a
fifth OG who's back now. You got Lisa Barlow, Meredith Marks, Heather Gay, and
Whitney Rose. And then they brought Mary Cosby back as a regular. Don't get me
started. And then we got Angie Kay. I don't actually know what her
last name is because they just call her Angie K in the show because there's also
an Angie H who hasn't really been around lately but two seasons ago she was part
of it. And then we got a new one, Bronwyn I think her name is. She was
wearing, it was like a Valentine's Day party that Lisa hosted was like the big event to kick off season five if it was, I don't remember, this season, this past Wednesday.
And Bronwyn shows up wearing like this big heart. It was crazy. You know that, it was a great Bugs Bunny episode where he's, I don't know, he's in like a haunted mansion or something and there's the monster and he's like a heart.
Or maybe I'm conflating something. I think there's two different ones. There's like a heart monster, heart character in Looney Tunes,
but then the episode I'm thinking of, I don't think it's that character. I think it's just like a spooky monster who's kind of like Shaggy and Harry.
We'll research it. We'll look it up after this. But that's what she looked like. She looked like a Looney Tunes character.
And the drama was basically, I don't know. Whitney said some disparaging things about
Lisa on a podcast in the off season. So Lisa's pissed about that.
Meredith is pissed at Whitney because Whitney launched her own line of bath bombs. And Meredith
said, hey, bath territory is my territory. And Heather Gaze still on Ozempic. She weighs like 72
pounds now. It's kind of freaky. Her lips are the heaviest part of her body. Not those
lips, her other lips. And then Angie Kay wants an apology from Meredith Marx. She brought
a scroll with her. And then there's this Bronwyn person too who I don't really know and Mary Cosby is really good friends with Andrew Kay now
it the whole thing is convoluted I don't think this is interesting I don't think
there was a mention of Jen Shah in the episode which was interesting what what
what's what's new with Jen show do we think's going on she's been in prison
for like a year now.
Don't hear a lot. Coach Shaw is Utah Utes. They're playing good football.
We'll see. I think Jen's obviously going to want to come back on the show when she gets out.
We'll see. We'll see what Bravo decides to do. Be at Real House, this is Salt Lake City. Wednesday night, it's 8 p.m. on Bravo.
Okay, let's finish this up here. So we were talking about
being in Stoten in the Norwegian flag. I've got a pretty, I would call this a
light trivia question okay. And hey it's one of those things, it's geography, it's
my heritage, so it's like right in my wheelhouse. But I feel like we've had
trivia questions before. I know we have that are like very hard hitting and tough to get. I don't want to serve anything up on a platter or you know
undersell the question but I think this one I think you guys out there
and beanheads can come up with this one. So very you know simple question I saw a
lot of Norwegian flags this past weekend. So my question is, you all know, you know, if you
know what the Norwegian flag looks like or any Scandinavian flags, you know, they have
a distinct cross pattern. My question is how many countries of the world have the Nordic
cross on their flag? We're talking countries, so I'm not counting like a Greenland or a
Faroe Islands kind of thing these these got to be sovereign states right Maple
they got to be sovereign if it's if it's not sovereign it's not worth it. So how
many countries of the world have a Nordic cross on their flag and bonus your
bonus point is name the countries.
So if you want any more time, go ahead and pause, mull it over, do what you need to do,
but the answer, how many countries
have a Nordic cross on their flag, is five.
It's gonna be really embarrassing if I'm wrong,
but I'm pretty sure it's five.
I didn't really thoroughly bet this.
And the actual, the countries that make up those five
are Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Iceland.
So the four traditional Scandinavian countries, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Iceland, and then the bonus, Finland as well.
Which is like, I always felt bad that Finland wasn't like, truly a part of Scandinavia it just feels like it should be but people tell me it's not I don't know
so there you go there is your bean town podcast trivia question of the week
