Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn David Furness. Welcome to my show. Quinn David Furness presents the Bean Town podcast for Friday, August 2nd. Where is second? What's going on? What's happening? How are you? My name is Quinn and I am the creator best boy and Key grip there's oldie buddy goodie. It's like you're a College girlfriend going for the handjob. Whoa, we came out strong. My name is Quinn David for an is cut cut that cut that Please cut that let's plow ahead Speaking of which happy anniversary to my parents Jane and Steve father and mother of the podcast 30 years strong

anniversary was yesterday hope all is well We are coming to you live on a balmy. We said balmy last week in Jamaica We couldn't quite define it so I think today qualifies as balmy as well It's like 80 degrees and muggy is that balmy I don't know sunny what no one knows what balmy is in this country no one can explain balmy we need a presidential candidate that can bring us together by explaining balmy more to come on the presidential race in just a second here after we mentioned listener discretion is advised when you're listening to this program. Number one will occasionally use some language on this program or hand jobs frankly.

Look guys this is a family friendly show and I'm a firm believer. Maybe this will change in 10 years when I start to go through this stuff, but we need to have open and honest conversations about sex, sexuality, we need better sex education, we need earlier sex education, we need to remove taboos and stigmas around basically all of this stuff it's gonna lead to lower you know STD rates lower rape and incest rates right we need to be upfront about

this stuff I'm not saying teach your five-year-olds about this but I'm saying waiting until a certain age or never really going the whole way and having the whole conversation, we got to change that in this country. We got a serious problem. I will be voting for the presidential candidate who is behind increased sex ed. increased sex ed. I just, this whole Puritan society, patriarchal Puritan Roger Williams Rhode Island colony we got here, complex. We got a, there are certain futuristic things, Brave New World 1984 that are spooky and a lot of the AI stuff going on right now is spooking me to bits but let's let's have more real conversations about sexuality and gender identity and I'm not I'm not trying to lean into the

whole I don't know there's a lot of there's a lot of like super far left wing kind of intersections of this and intersections of that type of stuff. And if they want to get into that, that's on them, that's fine. I'm not trying to indoctrinate anyone. I'm just saying let's talk basics. Let's talk, there's a phrase, it's like let's talk shop, something like that. Shop. What is that accent that I'm trying to do?

I don't know. Let's be open and something like that. Shop, what is that accent that I'm trying to do? I don't know. Let's be open and honest about this stuff. That's my strategy as a parent. This whole idea of like hiding and kids are smart. They know when we're hiding stuff from them, okay? Kids are excellent sleuths. S-L-E-U-T-H-S.

Sleuths. What's going on? It's a Friday. It's 6 15 p.m. This is gonna be an express episode. And we'll see what actually happens when we get the final runtime. We've been at exactly 52 minutes, I think the last two weeks, including our Jamaica podcast. But it's an express episode because Lala is happening right now. Rachel is there with her sisters. Half of Chicago is there. Yes, she was Chapel Rowan. But today at 6.45 we got the big Renee Rapp set. And I don't know anything about

Renee Rapp other than she was on Broadway in Mean Girls and then reprised her role in the film remake, which was just Mean Girls, but a musical version. But it wasn't advertised that way in the film trailer, so it was very deceptive. We'll talk film trailers in a second here. And otherwise, I think she's an artist. I've heard some nasty things about her. I don't know what's true, what's not true,

so I'm not gonna sit here and cast aspersions, if you will. I will mention speaking of casting aspersions though, and then I like, we just talked about AI. I don't know if this is true or not. I saw a screenshot of Sabrina Carpenter at some sort of red carpet event and it had Barry Keegan in the background. They're dating. If you don't know, Sabrina Carpenter is a singer. And this may be like her second album that came out a couple months ago. She was, maybe it was the season finale of SNL, I can't remember.

And I lost a lot of, here's the thing with Sabrina Carpenter. I didn't know who she was. Her big song is called Espresso. There's a line, not a meme going around, but a line going around. It's like, I'm working late because I'm a singer. Rachel likes to sing that one a lot. And I don't have any, you know, about in terms of the particular song, it's one of those like Taylor Swift or Chapel Road. And I'm like, okay, there's some catchiness to this. I'm not really listening to it.

It's fine. I don't hate it. Don't love it, whatever. But Sabrina Carpenter went on SNL and so blatantly lip sync both of her songs. That it was just such a turn off. It's one thing if you're going to lip sync, but then maybe give us a good show. She just kind of stood there and lip synced and didn't do a good job lip syncing. Anyways, the reason I bring up the photo, there was some serious filler going on, but it was spooky because it was Sabrina Carpenter in the foreground. You could see it in her cheeks

very clearly. And then Barry Keegan in the background, who I like as an actor, the, if you don't know, the Irish guy from Dunkirk, Killing of the Sacred Deer, most recently Saltburn, a million other things. One of my favorite underrated movies of all time, American Animals, with Evan Peters. Fantastic film. Absolutely loved that film. Saw it like three times in theaters I think. He's in the background of this picture and he's got a ton of filler as well. It's like Barry what is doing, man? Just be yourself. You'll get an Oscar. He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in that most recent Irish film that they did with Colin Farrell and what's his name? Mad Eye Moody. Brendan Gleeson. What's the name of the director that did all that stuff?

He's done, he did in Bruges. And then what's the name of this movie was nominated for best picture, right? It was a recent thing. Martin McDonough, three billboards director. And then his most recent one, which we were talking about that bear he can Keegan was nominated for Banshees of minisheer in already two years old. I forgot that was a 22 and not a 23 film but Their Botox doctors are working late because they're a doctor shout out to our good friends in Pakistan and I got a little Prediction for you. You're gonna hate this episode because we're doing the 10 most boring sports to watch across the board. So get ready because number one's gonna throw you for a loop. We talked a little bit about it last week. The Olympics are in full force. I have not...

well I'll say this, you know, I like to root for countries that win gold medals like the US and I haven't seen Pakistan doing too much at these Olympics. I Will say hey, do you want a little a little bonus trivia question that will throw out right here? And you already have half the answer but It's still and I maybe the tougher one was this one I don't know because I feel like the other answer is super obvious in terms of what it looks like But here's our here's our bonus trivia question if you couldn't tell yeah, we're all over the place on today's show. It's fine We got a little something something going on and hello Hyderabad

Karachi Khyberpass little something something one of my favorite beers of all time from Laganitas my well, we talked grad school or college undergrad flings. We might as well throw out the grad school fling. One of the Hannah Johnsons I've dated in my life, Little Something Something was her favorite. I know I did not buy Little Something Something to reminisce or be reminded, but it's just one of those things you never forget, right? Name associations. We're drinking little something

something from Laganitas, which has very nastily, I got a lot of good Trump lingo going on. We'll talk this week on the campaign, campaign trail in a second, very nastily reclosed its a tap room here in Chicago is Closed during code for the longest time then they brought it back and then like a month or two ago They reclosed it. I never got to go During the little brief period that it was resurrected. So rest in peace to Laganitas, Chicago You ever have it when you got your water bottle

You ever have it when you got your water bottle motorcycle Monday outside? You got your water bottle and you find a little hair on the outside and it's just the most irritating thing because it's so hard to get with the dewiness of it. That just happened to me. Where were we going? Cricket, boring, Olympics, Pakistan. Oh, bonus trivia question. See how we work our way back here at the Bean Town podcast by the way I listened back to the Jamaica

podcast where I had the whistling teeth towards the end it was actually happening it was I didn't think it was gonna come through on the recording I was like oh that's just in my head when I happened my teeth were actually whistling to an extent, which was spooky. But we got Renee wrapping 23 minutes, guys. We got to move, move, move. We got so much to get to. Here is the bonus question.

This was one of the final two questions at our trivia game that Rachel and I played at Bernie Bush Brewery this past Wednesday night. I will say this. It's just the two of us. We very valiantly got fourth prize out of, I think, eight or nine teams, which, yeah, right in the middle, not winning a medal, right, fourth place, but not falling too far behind. It's just the two of us. We're just two little guys doing our best. In the middle of a long work week, we're playing against teams, you know, with

Albert Einstein, the third on them. And there's 10 people. And they even got a dog for the Purina question. And it's just, we're doing our best. I have medaled at Burning Bush before. And right before we went to Jamaica, I played office trivia at Spiteful. And got, did I win? I'm trying to remember.

I think I won, which was just bizarre. Because I was behind most most of the game and I don't know what happened at the end some I guess teams just gave up I don't know $50 gift card despiteful if anyone wants to check out some craft brews at any point in the near future Hit me up cuz that's $50 I mean that's That's like five Hardy beers, they've got some powerful ones. Here's the actual question That's like five hearty beers. They've got some powerful ones. Here's the actual question.

Maybe we've gotten far enough away from what we were talking about to inspire the question that you forgot that you already had half the answer. I don't know, half. Name the two, excuse me, countries in the world whose flags have a star and crescent on them with population over 100 million people. Excuse me, had a lot of dangling participles in there.

So again, there's two countries in the world whose population is 100 million or more that have a star and crescent on their flag. Name the countries. Now it probably I wrote down four names right off the bat where I was like okay this it could be these four because they are predominantly Islamic countries and they have a hundred million people and I'm pretty sure my list was comprehensive I think I covered both of those and then it was just a matter of figuring out which ones actually had star and crescent on them. So if you want more time to deduce it yourself without my lovely voice cheering you on in

the background, go ahead and give us a pause. But my thought process for, you know, first country that comes to mind is Turkey, because it's like the most prominent star and crescent flag. The only consideration, which I did waffle on a little bit, was what is Turkey's population? You know it's a heavy player, but is it actually a hundred million people? And I'll tell you right now, it was one of the correct answers. And I did get this question right. I did get both questions correct. Trying to just do a very simple Google search and this laptop, my consulting laptop,

keeps disconnecting from the internet. Nothing to do with the Wi-Fi, everything to do with the computer. It is one of the most irritating things in the world. I can't explain it. Just a myriad of this, this season seven of the Bean Town podcast has been marred, like bill marred by tech issues. Now here on Google, it's saying, well, this is very interesting. And I welcome your concerns.

Email us bean town podcast at yahoo.com. Again, that's bean town podcast at yahoo.com. Because Turkey was one of my answers. I was nervous that it wasn't, you a hundred million because it seems like a lot Google Apparently in 2022 says 85 million which is pretty far off from a hundred million if you're wondering hey, what's going on? What's the resolution? I don't have an answer for you. That was literally the question to countries

population a hundred million or more so I'm not here to argue I'm just relaying what the question was at trivia and I did earn points for it the other three countries I wrote down on my short list were Iran Indonesia and Pakistan and then it was a matter of remembering because I was like okay I'm pretty sure all of those countries have a hundred million people I didn't know for sure let's check Iran ran well this one doesn't give you a clear answer about a hundred five million oh that's in 2061 that's not today you think you should be able to Google Iran population and you just get a number right 89 million is the

estimation right now. A lot of these things are estimates. So Iran was a guess. Indonesia was another guess, because I knew it was predominantly Muslim, and I knew it was one of the most populated countries in the world. But then I was like, I couldn't picture the flag of Indonesia,

and I could picture the flag of Iran. I knew there was some green going on there, and I remembered that there was a symbol, I thought. And I was like, flag of Iran. I knew there was some green going on in there And I remembered that there is a symbol I thought And I was like, what is the symbol? I was like, I don't think it's a crescent moon So then I was like, there's got to be something else out there and then I thought oh Bean town podcast. Hello your biggest clue Pakistan little green little white if I remember correctly I'm not looking at it right now, but I'm pretty sure there's a crescent moon. And so the very long-winded explanation is Turkey and Pakistan are your correct answers. I think Algeria was one of the

runner-ups and so yes if you're out there thinking Turkey definitely does not have a hundred million people which it may or may not. I don't know. It was the answer. And so maybe some teams protested. But I think that what we learned from that brief research is that there are, in theory, not two countries with more than 100 million people. Pakistan, for sure. But it looks like the next closest one was Turkey. Or Turkey- Turkey A as they want to be called now, all this political correctness, T-U-R-K-I-Y-E. It's already 628. We are definitely gonna miss the sort of Renee Rapps set,

but let's not be discouraged. We got power rankings to get through. We got, oh, we got so much. This week on the campaign trail, wow, speaking of so much to get to, we had our main thing and then a second thing popped up just like two hours before we started recording. It's 6, 630, I was gonna say in the afternoon. It's 630 is very clearly evening, but I don't know, when it's summer and the sun is still up and you're drinking a little something something, feels afternoon-ish, right? Because I'm still sitting in my afternoon spot.

I was considering going back to Burning Bush tonight for some live blues music, but then I was like, it's like a 0.7 mile walk. And I kind of wanted to shower and drink some beer. You ever feel that way? You're about to turn 30, and it's like a good walk. Mile and a half, it didn't sound so far when I was 21 and young and fresh.

And then you're like, well, I already walked three and a half miles on my normal walk today. Which by the way, I don't think we had ever announced it on the podcast, but sprained my foot real bad in kickball playoffs 15 days ago. And well, I don't want to say real bad. Real bad would be like, it's a 10 week recover time. It's been 15 days, and I think I'm about, let's say,

75% back to normal. Foot is still swollen, you can tell, because you can compare the two feet very easily. But this week, I've been going on walks this week I've been going on walks like three miles ish, about an hour. And once you get going, there's almost no limp. It's still if I've been sitting for a while and I wake up first thing in the morning and get out of bed, I'm still hobbling around a little bit here. But we're getting close. I would say if I was a professional NFL wide receiver and they really needed me to come back next week in eight days here to for a big divisional game to make the

playoffs they tape me up and shoot me with some steroids and I'd be good to go but because I'm just a casual runner I don't think that we're gonna make it back by next weekend but we'll see. I would say my tentative target, because all of you are curious, would be Monday, August 12th, for a little exploratory one to two mile run. So keep your fingers crossed for us. Okay, Wednesday midday.

I'm gonna butcher the acronym. I don't have it right in front of me. Not gonna Google it We're just gonna keep going here. I'm gonna move past it Donald Trump in Chicago the Hilton on South Michigan. It's like Michigan and Harrison basically South Loop area right where Lala where Renee Rapp is performing just minutes from now. The National Association of Black Journalists, something like that. NABG, BJ, Bee Gees. That was supposed to be a jive talking but as I started I realized I started too high and then I also remembered the great Andy Gibb song the fourth Bee Gees not actually Bee Gees just a Gibb the fourth Gibb shadow talking what is it called shadow great musical episode here. Andy Gibb shadow something shadow dancing. Which I didn't even

know about Andy Gibb until like a year ago when I first discovered that song. I was like, oh, who's this Andy Gibb guys got the same name as a famous brother boy band. I wonder boy band brother band. I wonder if he's related. And is like oh there was this fourth BG that also a fourth Gibb brother that also died what a tragic situation it's like the iron claw okay so Trump comes to Chicago Wednesday I'm in the office I'm downtown I'm literally half a mile away something like that I stayed in my office slash I was actually watching it at the gym the whole time. But to basically give you a recap and if you didn't actually see it go watch the the recap or the clip on YouTube it's only 25 minutes 30 minutes or so that he speaks it's not very long it was a

it's a panel he's up there on the stage with three black journalists who are asking him questions. So it wasn't a speech, it wasn't a rally. He's like the keynote event at this thing. Apparently they always invite both presidential candidates. But it's not the same, like Kamala's coming next month or something like that after the DNC. So I don't know if they have two conferences. I don't know the details. But when the whole shebang started,

I literally thought it was a bit or that my video had accidentally skipped ahead to halfway through the speech, even though it was live. I didn't understand what was going on. The first question is literally like one of the journalists basically said Basically presented Trump with his record on things. He said racially disparaging things he said and The question was very simple very straightforward a pretty basic question

For a presidential candidate much less a podcast host if you wanted to ask me We haven't had a lot of black guests on the program in the last 330 episodes or whatever and I recognize that we got to do better. It's kind of like Seinfeld. The question was essentially why are you the right choice for black Americans in this upcoming election? And he came out swinging not to answer the question but basically say, oh that's a very rude question very nasty like you held me up and when he was talking about the audio issues being the hold up because the things started an hour late i was like okay yeah like that's probably the case and he's probably just exaggerating it for effect to lean into something turns out we've gotten more reporting less cold

days the audio issues were not the hold up the The holdup was that Trump, when he got there, they told him that they were going to be, not like on the stage, but online. They were going to be fact checking him live, and that the journalists asking him questions would have access to that online fact checking, and they could confront him on that stuff while it was happening live on stage.

And that caused a huge big hold up that the campaign was not pleased about. And so this thing goes on for like 30, 35 minutes. Eventually, 30 minutes in, they ask him about Project 2025, which is a whole separate episode that we don't have time to get into. But that's when his campaign literally shouts in the front row or whatever is like okay done ended there and they rush him off the stage presumably he flies back to Mar-a-Lago I don't know I wasn't actually down there to see it I was up in my office you know a couple blocks away but just a disastrous event then he he really

failed the we're talking about gender identity and race and intersection and sex ed earlier in the show. Biracial-ness, if you want to call it that. Kamala Harris is both black and South Asian Indian. Trump's point was that, whether it's true or not, I actually don't really know the history of it. Trump's point was that early in her career, Kamala identified primarily as a Native American, and later, or not Native, sorry, South Asian, Indian. And more recently, she has been leaning into, for political purpose, her black identity. That was Trump's point. But he, whether it's a bogus point or not, which it maybe

is, I don't know, not here to judge, he said it in just a very nasty, terrible way, saying that she turned black. And it was just one of those super cringey things that if you were already a diehard Trump supporter who gives a flying F like he's your savior. But just from like a very level-headed basic conversation about, you know, race, gender, sexuality. I think Kamala is straight, but I'm not here to, you know, she got a booty, she can get it. I don't know know I've never really seen it pantsuit right I think she's pretty married but

talking about the form the future president of the United States over here knock on wood that's glass maybe that's bad luck I don't know it's been a lot of weird stuff happening on this show right well we got Renee rap in eight minutes here we got a move ahead here but that's not the end of this week on the campaign trail because today in a it was it today yesterday in a speech I don't JD Vance is I know the buzzword right now is a weird guy And so I'm not trying to just piggyback off that but just really strange His whole like he's wearing flannels to the border. I think he's trying to come across is more like he's wearing flannels to the border. I think he's trying to come across as more relatable by ditching the suit and tie, but flannels to the border, my brother, it's July and August.

No one out there is wearing flannels south of the 75th parallel. What are you doing down in Juarez wearing a flannel talking about illegal immigration? far as wearing a flannel talking about illegal immigration. No one can identify with that. There are no good swing states where it's appropriate to wear a flannel right now. Not even Washington, it's too hot. And that's probably not a swing state. Washington is always blue, right? Montana always red.

If you were high up in the glaciers, I could see you wanting a flannel, but you already made up your mind you're voting for Trump. Idaho, not a swing state. A lot of good left turn action downstairs outside of the coffee joint. North Dakota, South Dakota, red, red. Minnesota, pretty blue. Minnesota, I feel feel like was kind of a swing state probably during the Bush era. And maybe Minnesota even voted for Bush, I don't know. But lately, pretty blue. Tim Waltz, killing it. Wisconsin maybe.

I could see it if you were up in Iron, what is it called, Iron Mountain. Or the UP, Michigan, UP, the Apostle Islands National Seashore, maybe a flannel overnight, but not during the day, right? If JD Vance did a speech overnight, then that could be relatable, but not, not while the sun is out. not while the sun is out. You move east you got technically Indiana and Ohio but note look the northernmost part of Ohio is like Toledo right Cleveland basically no one's wearing a flannel in Cleveland right it's balls to the wall hot and you bump over to Pennsylvania kind of a swing state well probably a swing state. Well, probably a swing state. Yeah, but no one is no one in Erie No one in Scranton Bethlehem

Wilkes-Barre, I'm not seeing any flannels and Then I guess he get up to like Maine would be the probably the last swing ish one over there And I guess Maine Maine is JD Vance's target. He's talking about the border, he's talking about immigration, down at Texas, across the Rio Grande. Those Mainers up there are very concerned about these criminals and rapists from Mexico coming to take those Maine jobs. We might have to do a halftime break

to go get another little something something. I don't know. We haven't even got to our power rankings yet. That seems like a good idea though. You know what we're going to do? We're going to get Renee Rapp on the second laptop. We're going to mute it. And we'll at least see what she's wearing. Right? Who she's wearing. That that's gonna be the plan because we are half an hour into this program almost and no no most boring sports in sight actually that's not sure we're so close the reason I brought up JD Vance though is because very recently either yesterday today he was doing a speech in his flannel. I think this was that one, I don't know.

And I posted this on my Instagram, at Q.QueenD, if you missed it. Apparently when Trump called him about being vice president, he told his seven-year-old son, who we don't know if he's Indian or white, maybe he used to be white and now he turned Indian, we don't know, to shut up about Pokemon for a second or five seconds or whatever. And my heart just dropped. The last ounce of respect,

you know, I didn't like JD Vance to start with, but when he was talking about banging a couch, or which we have mostly disproved, but a hundred percent disproved. I was like You know this guy can still get it a little bit But then he tells his kid to shut up about Pokemon and I want to fight this man FBI Secret Service I welcome it. Okay, not not like a sneaky sneaker gun into a rally kind of thing Cut that cut that cut that what I'm talking about is literally JD Vance come here You bring your top six Pokemon lineup. I'll bring my top six Pokemon lineup Gen one

No cheap moves like sand attack Here's the lineup. I'm gonna bring to you and this is off the top of my head because I didn't even prepare this. So JD, give me your best shot because I feel like you don't know Pokemon at all. Here's what we're gonna do for you. I got a level 100 Mew. In fact, and the blue, the Pokemon blue cartridge that lives in my parent house somewhere actually got five of them But for this battle, I'll take it easy on you. Okay, just got one he's got

thunder earthquake Hydro pump and psychic Good fucking luck, bro. And that's just the first first Pokemon Hey, I could get I could get funky if you know we want to get into the weird tactics I could get like a I don't know some sort of snorlax that has rest or You know and sand attack and minimize

Dude, are there Pokemon out there? I don't know if you could learn Sandy tech Sandy tech sand attack which lowers Motorcycle Monday Pokemon out there, I don't know. If you could learn Sandy Attack, Sandy Attack, Sand Attack, which lowers, Motorcycle Monday, which lowers your opponent's accuracy and minimize, which improves your evasiveness, meaning if you maxed out those six of each, you would have 1 12th of the chance of your move hitting compared to when you started, which is not good odds. But maybe a level 100 Mew, maybe a level 100 Mewtwo,

because I think Mewtwo is technically the best Pokemon in Gen 1. I just like Mew because you can learn every move and that just felt OP to me. There's probably a better choice in this, but a level 100 Dragonite was just, right, you're facing Lance, it says last Pokemon, it's Dragonite, it's such a badass thing thing you haven't seen it until you get to like

almost the last moment of the game you're like what the fuck is this Pokemon and he blasts you with a hyper beam good luck JD especially if I use 10 barriers beforehand I don't even need more than three but 10 was just kind of proved my point kind of taunting you so we got a mu we got a mu too we got a dragonite I would like to have a level 100 jigglypuff because I just feel like getting pounded into just the Netherlands not Netherlands the hinterlands is the word I was looking for by a level 100 Jigglypuff that has pound, sing and disable, maybe double slap, that would just feel really humiliating.

That's what I'm trying to do because you humiliated your son by telling him to shut up about Pokemon when a convicted felon was on the phone. I'm so mad. I'm teething. Is that right? Seething. I'm seething with an S. I am going way past Renee Rapps start time because you dissed Pokemon. Okay, so we got the level 100 Mew, the Mewtwo, the Dragonite, the Jigglypuff. We got room for two more. This is all off the top of my head, mind you. I feel like a ditto just because he could transform into your Pokemon, whichever one he wants. If you don't know what Pokemon ditto is, it's a move that just says one move, it's transformed. So he turns into your Pokemon and he gets all the same moves in that stuff and then he can is just and he also can learn the move metronome which is fun it's a

randomizer which chooses any one of the moves in the Pokemon move set there's a couple hundred of them I think humiliating use metronome sometimes and it will be like a terrible move like focus energy which didn't work as intended in Gen 1 but then sometimes you get horn drill which is a one hit KO dude if I use or fissure or a crab hammer right is that the one that Kingler has if I use crab hammer which I think is a move on JD Vance'sance's level five Bellsprout that he brought to his fight because he doesn't treat his Pokemon with care, love, and nurture. I don't know if nurture is a noun like that. I'm not really sure. But we got to pull up the René Rap

livestream. I'm not logged into Hulu on this computer. Oh, that's brutal. That's absolutely brutal. We're going to have to pause. We're gonna have to log in It's gonna be a whole thing. Oh I was really hoping that password would auto-populate. Let's see it might still oh it worked. Okay. Shout out to sister of Sister of the podcast Abby furnace. Oh apparently Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is on Hulu My night plans just got a lot more complicated. Yeah JD Vans doesn't treat his Pokemon with love and respect so I'm feeling like I'm gonna beat the crap out of him. Okay where's Renee rap? Hang on you can get the Lollapaloo's a live stream on, live on

Hulu and I'm going for Renee. Okay, these are, this looks to be maybe the Black Crows or Radiohead. Let's try a separate stream. Where's my Renee? Oh, there's some white ladies. Oh, that's a DJ in a white socks jersey. That's not Renée Rap. Why is it so hard to be famous? We're gonna keep looking. My six Pokemon. This is the longest this week on the campaign show that we've ever had. I love it. This is the fury that JD Vance's anti Pokemon comments have inspired in me.

Okay, here's the stream that says it's gonna be Renee Rapp. I thought for sure it said 6.45 is when she was starting. My six Pokemon, okay, what did we have? We had, we don't have the Renee Rapp stream going right now. It's not playing very nice, being very nasty. Oh, there she is. Oh, she got a soccer jersey on, sweatpants. They're like Capris.

Honestly, she looks like a Billie Eilish impersonator. She's got those weird thin sunglasses, not my favorite. She's got sneakers on. This looks to be a cover of Bob Dylan. Oh, no, I don't have the volume on, so that's kind of hard to say. There's no subtitles. There's no words there.

We'll do a live. What does it mean to play us out? My sixth Pokemon, okay, gotta finish this up. We got a whole power ranking to get through here. And a second something something. We had a Mew, we had a Mewtwo, we had a Dragonite, we had a Ditto, and we had something, oh a Jigglypuff.

So what would I really like to have as my six Pokemon? I feel like we kind of trolled them a little bit with the Ditto and the Jigglypuff. We could go Power, we can go speed, we can troll again. If you have a level 100 like Snorlax or Lickitung, those things have about 400 hit points HP. And you're going to have to really hit them hard to take them out. That would kind of be fun. Especially a Snorlax with Rest. Good luck luck buddy. You know, let's do that because

JD Vance kind of looks like a Snorlax. So, Snorlax is a Pokemon in Gen 1 that there's two of them in the game. And they just kind of sit there blocking the way. You have to wake them up with a Poke Flute. And they have a lot of HP, meaning you have to wake them up with a pokey flute and they have a lot of HP meaning you have to hit them really hard and often to take them out but Snorlax whole thing is he's sleeping right he's Snorlax so he has a move called rest which puts him to sleep for three turns meaning he can't do anything but he completely regains his entire health and so you could hit him with like five hyper beams but it doesn't take me out JD Excuse me, and I just use rest and we're back in business

So there you go. That's my Pokemon lineup for JD Vance. It's given a whole episode Mew Mewtwo Jigglypuff Ditto Snor, and Dragonite. You got your power, you got your trolling. Good luck. Okay, in just a minute here, we are gonna get to the top 10 most boring sports to watch. But not before we shout out our sponsors,

and also remind you what's coming up in 140 days from right now. It is Mufasa, the Lion King. I was singing a little circle of life. It's the wheel of fortune. It's the leap of faith. It's the band of hope. A band of faith is a band of hope Until we find our place

On the path of winding Circle Circle of life circle, circle of light. 140 days until Mufasa, the Lion King comes out. We got, you know, James Earl Warren coming back, the guy from E-Harmony, that's not his name. James Earl Jones. And Jonathan Taylor Thomas is rumored to be making a cameo. We got the original Timon and Pumbaa coming back with uh j Simon Lane what's his name something lane Nathan Lane and then that other guy the bigger guy they call me mr pig it's great, it's a quality Pumba impression. The AI, Gilbert Gottfried will play the bird from Aladdin.

It's sort of a crossover thing, right? If everyone's doing the crossover thing, we got Spiderman, No Way Home. We got Marvel's Deadpool and Wolverine right spoilers ahead we got Chris Evans comes back as Johnny Storm from Fantastic Four. Wesley Snipes is Blade. Ben Affleck's wife plays the lady from Alias I think. So we can do a Mufasa kind of cinematic universe too I think. Are there other, it's gonna be a lot of Black Panther guys. We're gonna have AI Chadwick Boseman recipes. We're gonna have AI Lupita Nwongo. Well she doesn't have to be

AI but it might be cheaper. She's in Black Panther right? We're gonna have, we're gonna bring Michael B. Jordan back. We're gonna bring Andy Serkis back, right? These are all people that will be in Mufasa the Lion King prediction. You heard it here first. Mofasa the Lion King premieres December 20th 2024 only in theaters. Mofasa find your pride. Okay let's also shout out our sponsors our good friends at Home Pride Oregon Renee is over here and she is frozen not good. Renee Rapp kind of reminds me of a FRAP, FRAP-A, Frappuccino. Let's try reloading and see what, oh, it's this computer that I was just mentioning

that keeps losing its wifi signal. Just very frustrating. You're just trying to sit here, do a podcast, watch a little Renee Rapp. Maybe she'll sing, I don't know what she sings. This song, I was gonna say this song from Mean Girls, but Mean Girls is like only recently been a musical, so I don't know the songs from Mean Girls.

She's still wearing these weird ass sweatpants. What is she trying to be JD Vance over here with a flannel? Whose soccer jersey is that? If you're going to wear a soccer jersey in Chicago, at least it was a Chicago Fire jersey. I don't know. At first I thought it was a San Diego Padres jersey, but it was different. Boy, look at... Oh, Renee's going to hate this. Looking at her crowd size compared to Chappone, it's peanuts. Apparently she's very full of herself, so she's going to hate that. She should have been more chill like Chaperone. She's wearing a wedding ring, which is interesting. Can we get some insight on

Renee Rapp's marital status? Until then, our good friends at HomePride Oregon, they will inspect your home. And if you, we, this, I swear to God, this internet keeps cutting out just on this one laptop. It is the worst thing of all time, other than childhood leukemia and Darfur. But what the hell is going on? I think the, email is beanthompodcast at yahoo.com and it's beanthompodcast at yahoo.com. So this computer is four years old. I mean, it's the cheapest cheap whatever. It's for my consulting job.

I was gifted it, not gifted. I was given it to do my work for my consulting gig. But lately, holy moly, it has just been cutting out left and right. Is that a symptom of your computer getting old? I mean, it seems like being able to connect to Wi-Fi is a basic function of a computer. Ah.

I don't want this terrible, just nastiness that's happened to me by the liberal left-wing internet companies, Comcast, Xfinity, RCN, the list goes on and on. Didi track from our good friends at Home Pride Oregon 541-400-0316 or email homeprideorgan.gmail.com. Home Pride Oregon inspection perfection. Of course, our good friends over at Cuts by Q did a little nice, you know, cleaned up the back a little bit, took some off the sides,

kept those flowing locks going on top So I could look like Russell Brand. Hmm Hmm $20 flat rate cuts by Q when you need a fresh dews on the snap You're new just call the experts at cuts by Q What I don't get at Lala you got these VIP sections and They're at the front of the stage, so you get to be right up next to the stage.

I'm not saying I don't get that. I get that. But it's just a separate fenced in muddy area. Very dirty, very grimy, Grimer, great Gen 1 Pokemon. Actually pretty terrible, but fun. It's got Pound, Disable, probably learned Sludge Bomb. But these things, these little pens that they got these vips and they're so empty and they look so desolate and It's like I guess I get that you're not jammed into a crowd full of people

There's probably 17 people at this Renee rap concert. I don't know it doesn't look like she's very popular to me I'm kind of a chapel stan Chapel head take me to church, Hosier. Take me to the chapel. Not so much a Renee Rapp fan. More of a Frappuccino fan and more of an original Mean Girls fan. Sorry, Renee.

There goes the internet again. Like, clockwork. Clockwork Orange. Alex the Large, Distrange. What is that guy's name? I don't know. Crazy how this internet just keeps going out and out and out. It's nonsensical. Why does it do that? And then of course our good friends, there was another thought there I wanted to finish off, but I'm not going to. I'm just going to say thank you to our good friends, Samson Q2U series. Thanks for coming back.

Thanks for being part of the show. Congratulations on your week off while we were in Jamaica. Well done. Well deserved. Samsung Q2U Series, when God speaks, He uses the Samsung. Okay. We are using the built-in Microsoft Windows voice recorder app for this, and we have a top 10 list plus some more trivia that we're going to get to in a second here. We're going to pause and come back because I got a pee and I got to get a second beer and I've never really tried to re-resume the recording I don't think so we're going to try we're going to see how it goes and cross your fingers. We'll be right back All right, we're back and if you are ready for some magic

I don't know if it's gonna work or not. Here's what happened. I mentioned right when we went into that break I didn't know what was gonna happen on the Windows Default voice recorder if you stop recording Turns out you can't come back and add on to a previously recorded File at least from what I can figure out. It was distracted by Renee Rapp. She's still wearing these weird sweatpants and a soccer jersey, and the crowd seems pretty dead.

Haven't actually turned on the volume because the Wi-Fi keeps cutting out. It's still happening. It's got to give this computer a hard reset. But what that means is we are having two, for the first time ever, I believe, in Beantown Podcast history, half one and half two. And half two, I swear to God, will be far shorter than half one because that went off the rails.

But we did get a second beer. It's in my McDonald's Coozie from Pride Parade. It's not mine. It's Rachel got it. But ours, right? It's going to be two separate MP3 files that I'm going to try to use Audacity, much-maligned Audacity, to combine together. I hope they won't mess up the audio recording volume as it has been known to do in the past. And then we're just gonna kind of seamlessly create one cohesive audio file out of where there once was two there became one. And you

could make so many jokes going back to the hand job at the beginning of the episode. We're not going to. We're going to plow ahead here. Okay. Last week on the show, live from Jamaica, we were talking about cricket and how much I was watching. There's so many. I just opened my show notes for the first time this show and there's so much else I have here. We're gonna talk top 10 most boring sports in a second here.

Let me just throw these two things out here. I'm not gonna elaborate too much on them. It's just some stuff I noticed this week watching the Olympics that someone has to call out. Number one, I was watching field hockey for the first time in my life, women's field hockey. And they do this stupid play. It wasn't even like they were ahead and wasting time.

They were literally just burning clock in a tie game. I think it was Great Britain playing the US. They take the ball and you see this in soccer towards the end of the game, but they take the ball, the puck, whatever it's called, towards the corner, right? On defense in your own corner. And you're just protecting the ball, protecting the puck. You see it in soccer towards the end of the game. You're hoping the opponent will kick it out.

You get a goal kick, waste more time, whatever. Same kind of vision here in field hockey. But this is like five minutes into the game. So you imagine this. You have one British defender with the ball. She's hunched into the corner, she's got her stick moving it back and forth. You have literally like three American attackers surrounding her, but she's got it blocked

off in the corner so you can't touch her. And my, you know, the thought is you got to get the ball out of there without knocking out a bounce. So it's tricky, it's tough. My thought is, hey, we're calling this field hockey, it's like ice hockey, but worse. Why can't we just check the shit out of these British field hockey players that are just keeping the ball in the corner?

You want to know what happens if you take the puck into the corner on defense and ice hockey and you just try to hold it there? You get the shit beat out of you. You get Chris Cellios coming in, there, you get the shit beat out of you. You get Chris Chelyos coming in, slamming you into the boards. Cross-checking or not, I don't care. Take the penalty. It doesn't matter to me. Why can't you do some serious body checking in field hockey? Because that sport sorely needs it. If you're going to sit down there in the corner and pansy around with your little ball back and forth

on your stick, you got three ladies just watching you, like vultures, give them the cross check. See what happens. Here's what happens. You take one cross check to the lower lumbars. You're never going to keep that ball down there in the corner again. So just field hockey, we need

to really ramp up the rules here. Ramp down the rules. I don't even know what that is. But field hockey, if you're curious, did not make my list of the 10 most boring sports, but it 1000% could because they were just sitting down there for like 30 seconds, not doing anything. And it was just absolutely horrible to watch my other thought I actually saw this on Twitter and I had to go verify it on a YouTube clip, which I did Speedwalking is an Olympic sport, which I know is relatively shocking but it is and If you're a fan of Malcolm in the middle You know what speedwalking is

Because there's a great episode where Bryan Cranston's character Hal Participates in speedwalking in the park and everyone knows the golden rule and I'm not even bullshitting you around here This is actually true the golden rule of speedwalking what makes it walking and not just run as fast You can you always have to have one foot making contact with the ground at all times. Right, if you're sprinting, you're running, you're gonna have multiple feet, both feet in the air. It's what makes walking walking

is that you have a foot in contact with the ground. It's very simple, very straightforward. There's nothing, there's not a lot of leeway in the rule book, it's just what it is. So when I see this clip on Twitter and then verified on the replay afterwards, we're like everyone who's doing the speed walking in this front pile of people has both feet off the ground, egregiously, but not particularly close We've got multiple centimeters going on here between foot and ground

I'm just sitting there thinking what the what are we doing? If we're gonna have the most stupid sport in the world speed walking And you're not even going to abide by the rules then why are we even if we're gonna have table tennis in here I don't know where I'm going with that but just speed walking is so stupid and then add on top of that cheating makes you so mad. Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do Oh You gotta abide by the rules Okay, we have finally after what probably an hour We're gonna miss this whole Renee rap set. This is brutal.

Although I don't care. She looks terrible. Haven't turned on the audio. I can tell I'm not going to like it. Same way with Marilyn Manson. I've never actually heard a Marilyn Manson song. I just know I'm not going to like it. Email us, bntownpododcastyahoo.com.

Who are those artists you've never really actually seen or heard and you just know you're not going to like them? Or a film? Like for me, that would be, I don't know, I'm kind of a film buff. Kind of like the whole genre. Oh, 50 Shades, 50 Shades Freed. Because 50 Shades, 50 Shades of Grey is kind of like, oh, it's fun, it's sexy, it's flirty, it's new.

Then 50 Shades Darker is like, oh, what's going to happen next? And then by the time you get to 50 Shades Freed, it's like, I've seen all of Dakota Johnson's booty and titties. I know she's not going to go the whole way way and so what am I even doing here I'm not watching it for the plot we've been all over the place on this podcast probably not the most family-friendly show we've ever had probably not the least but maybe top five I don't know it's been F bombs. But there's also been hymns. So it kind of balances it out. Okay, we're going to go through this pretty quickly

because I just, you reach a certain point in your podcast limit where you're just tired. That's how I'm feeling right now. I'm starting to feel fatigued. I got a top 10 list for you with minor comments here and there along the way. And then one less geography trivia question for you. And then I get the fun task of combining these two mp3 files together. I have a vision in my head. Going to go to Audacity, copy and paste the first one in, copy and paste the

second one in, maybe add some hymns in between. I don't know. It could be our longest show we've ever had. That's not true. Our year one recap was like five hours. It's insane. One of these days I'm going to run out of other things to listen to and I'm just going to go listen to that but not today okay number 10 most boring sports to watch this one might be controversial I don't know boxing here's my thing with boxing there's been a handful of times in the last decade from Jake Paul verse Mike Tyson which hasn't actually happened yet but I'm thinking like Mayweather versus Pacquiao or just,

you know, every once in a while there's like a big one that everyone's talking about. Adrian Peterson versus Leveon Bell. And then just regular boxing too, even Olympic boxing, I've caught a little bit of it. It gets along with the UFC and all the like Las Vegas and betting stuff. It gets so hyped, right? Even ESPN is huge because they broadcast it but they're huge into their boxing sometimes they get caught up in the hype and I'm like oh I got to see this match I'm definitely gonna watch this one so I tune in I watch the boxing match regardless of how long or short it is whatever I don't care boxing is boring as fuck you sit there for 10 rounds 7 rounds whatever it is you're hoping to see like one or two good hits.

But even then I feel like none of the boxing matches I've been watching recently, this lady's crying at the Renee rap concert, not Renee, some floozy in the crowd. I almost never see knockouts in boxing. What I really want is just two guys going to town on each other like one Of those viral videos where the McDonald's employee jumps over the counter goes to town on That disrespectful customer with the ice cream cone and the cookies and the double cheeseburgers And there's no here's the thing I hate most about boxing when they're like tired or fatigued and doing air quotes over here They just hug each other They just hug hug it out bitch, and they kind of do little you know side jabs get the side ribulars, but nothing too. You know

spectacular nothing too painful just little jabs and Then after about 10 seconds the ref comes in there and say, okay, we got millions of Turkish and Pakistani people watching with their crescent flags gotta do something and It's just that for like half an hour I'm sorry boxing I gave it some respect because I didn't put it top five or anything like that. It's number 10 it's the first one on the list, but just Really not that exciting to watch it's like you sit there the whole time thing, okay, now something really good is going to happen and then it ends and you're

like, wait, then you got to wait for the judges to figure who won, right? Boxing should be bare knuckles. Someone has to die. Okay. Gladiator style, Hunger style and once someone is dead, you know who won There you go The more, you know Number nine NASCAR or any sort of I'm not even gonna say stock car racing f1 boring as fuck, too look, I'm a bigger NASCAR fan than 98% of the population in that I watch one race a year on average, Daytona 500. And even then I don't usually catch most of it. Most of the time NASCAR is super boring.

It's not just like, oh, they're going in circles all the time. There's road courses, there's street courses like Chicago this year, but it just takes so long and there's really not that many different things happening that it's pretty boring. You know, I wish Renee Rapp would play like, guitar or something. I'm sitting over here sitting here, she's just kind of standing there. She doesn't really dance. Same kind of thing with chaparral and I'm not throwing shade at these ladies, but it's just especially when it's on mute It's not that interesting to watch When I was a kid, we had Britney Spears

We had You know Jennifer Lopez we had backstreet boys. They all danced. We had Tom York great big dancers Now you just get people, these weight ladies with their sunglasses and their soccer jerseys, they just kind of stand up there and apologies, but if I'm paying $3,000 to get Lollapalooza tickets to see Renee rap, I want to see something interesting happen. I don't know Just seems like they could do something number eight table tennis we've already mentioned in the show once and I I really hate to put it on this list because I think table tennis is a

cool sport it takes a lot of like if you're good at table tennis that is so badass because I would love to go to a that is so badass because I would love to go to a high school party 15 years ago and be like oh yeah we're going to this rich person's basement they've got table tennis I'm gonna kick ass and rather than just what actually happened where I lose like 12 to 1 because I've I play twice a year but here's the thing table tennis is exciting in a 30 second clip. And then if you were to extrapolate that to the entire actual match, it's kind of like, oh, this is not actually that exciting. And I feel I feel tough saying this because it's so quick and fast paced

and it's very impressive to watch. But I don't know, for me personally, for me, it just kind of wears out its welcome, if you will, after a little bit. Number seven, similar kind of setup, darts. The weird thing about darts is how fast it moves. If you've ever watched a recap of a darts game, it's like the first guy does is three darts in about 10 seconds.

Then the next guy, he's right behind him. He's not waiting around, he's right behind him doing darts. Oh, they just brought some girl in jean shorts is out twerking on stage. It's black. It might be Olivia Rodrigo or maybe it's Angel Reese. Nope, it's not. It's neither of them. I don't know who it is. Now, Renee Rapp is hugging her, lifting her in the air. Now, Renee Rapp is pretending to do this girl doggy style. It's a family-friendly show, right? And there's a lot of twerking. I don't know who this is. I don't think another hugging. I don't think... What's the name of that girl who did the cow video? Doja Cat? I don't know

what a Doja Cat is. It wasn't her. she was out for like two seconds. She twerked She hugged she took it up the booty potentially depending on how their things lined up Let's move ahead here seven was dart six is bowling and look it's a it's a time It's a it's a it's a it's a cherished tradition. But watching bowling is kind of like, because it's the same exact motion every time. I don't know man. It could be a strike, it could be a spare. That's the thing too.

If I was watching people who are bad at bowling and it was like there's a risk of this Being a gutter ball or a strike on a granny roll. That would be more interesting to me But you get these PBA pros who would see their strike or spare every single time and I don't know It's short enough, right right it's just ten frames it takes 15 minutes or something like that where and you got those cool little air vents you can dry your hands with but I Don't know watching that television unless you're that cool meme guy. Who's like who do you think you are I am?

50 year old white guy I'd watch him Because he's animated Much like bluey or those apes from kingdom of the planet of the apes now streaming on Hulu Or I don't know someone from Mufasa the Lion King Number five is golf tough one. I had to put it in my top five had to throw some disrespect on its name This is probably out of all of these like the most popular opinion right? Oh golf is so boring Here's the thing if it's a Sunday afternoon. You got no plans, and you're like man. I would love a good nap right now turn on golf It's gonna be amazing for sleeping and frankly. I just think that that proves my point. Oh this girl

I was twerking is now playing bass guitar. There's a chance that this girl was always her bass guitarist. We're talking Rene Rapp here at Lollapalooza. Still on mute. And I just didn't notice it until she started twerking. But I've frankly just been barely paying attention because Rene Rapp is just so boring to watch But golf look I played a full 18. I wasn't actually playing don't tell the hermitage

That I swung a couple clubs hit a couple balls because they would hate they would hate that Back in Tennessee in May but Fun to play beautiful golf courses sitting there watching the television pretty boring. Sorry guys You can't even get that the crowd doesn't even get into her you got your golf claps Not great number four we got cycling this was one that wasn't really on my radar until I thought more about it and I was like this is tough right cycling is great good cardio but if you made me sit down and watch a tour to France or Olympics or whatever it is it's not actually that interesting right it's not like a one person really pulled away from the crowd then second place is all by himself in

third place and there's a lot of movement. It's just one giant pack and I assume what is interesting is the last mile or so when movement actually happens people jostle for position But if you just tune in on a random Tuesday during the Tour de France I don't know seems pretty boring to me and that's not to It's not to offend the cyclists out there. It's just I Don't know you just want to stay in your pack right for drafting reasons Number three we got poker poker is probably out of all these sports other than maybe NASCAR

Probably the one I've actually watched the most on television is because sometimes when we were kids growing up we got you know basic channels and then some of the other weird free ones that came through which was like the Bible Channel, C-SPAN 2, WB and every once in a while like Channel 16 would be Poker Channel channel I can't explain the rhyme or reason to it but I would watch a lot of poker growing up just like late at night before bed and it's really boring so always Texas hold on because it's just so quiet and nothing really happens because that's the same thing over and over and over again and I feel like unless you start watching from the beginning you don't really understand

who all the players are how many chips they have anything like like that. And so you're just kind of sitting there watching it. The flop, the turn, the river, and it's ten times slower than that. So poker is number three. Number two, fishing. This is one that's like borderline sport, right? Like I didn't include chess because I don't consider that a sport, but I did include fishing in there. I don't care if you're going for bass. For narwhals. For giant squid.

Whatever fishing, fun activity to do not opposed to fishing. I fished many times in my life But to televise it and watch it and I know it's not very popular sport to watch but it is out there That was another thing on like channel 16. We would get sometimes growing up or bass fishing championships to physically sit there and watch it is Just one of the probably the second worst thing of all time after sport number one You pull up your fish and even then it's like, oh, yeah, that's a nice fish But then you got to wait for them to weigh it or measure it or whatever it is for you to figure out Did you win or did you get 17th place?

so fishing pretty rough on the eyes and Then finally number one here. You knew it was coming, it's cricket. Sheerly because is there a lot more action than bass fishing or darts, surely. But it's so long. Like a poker game is what, one or two hours? Darts is like 30 seconds. Cricket, especially test cricket, which is a term I just learned about

today and I can't define it but I'm gonna use it. It could go for like five hours. There's no, it's not like oh you have to stop at a certain point. They got lights on their stadiums so you can play at night. You start at 9 a.m. You can go for 24 plus hours I'm sorry cricket. I I know it's like probably not actually number one compared to some of these things, but It's just the worst So Pakistan if you want to bump me from 112 to 113 114 even I would understand But I don't know man. it just it is what it is so number 10 we had got this show is finally almost over boxing number nine NASCAR slash any kind of racing number eight table tennis seven darts six bowling five golf four

cycling three poker two fishing and number one cricket let us know what your thoughts are on our list. What are some of the other boring sports? Renee Rapp is a boring artist for me. She just lost her sunglasses. It's embarrassing. Email speedtimepodcast at yahoo.com. Again, the speedtime podcast at yahoo.com. All these girls in the front row are crying,

probably because they realized they spent $3,000 on VIP Lollapalooza tickets to see this. She's terrible. She's giving a thumbs up. Yeah, the booty-shaking jean shorts girl is still playing. It's not bass. It's just electric guitar. I don't know.

This whole thing seems ill-contrived. Also, if you're a big renee rap stan email us being Tom podcast yahoo.com is being Tom being a podcast yahoo.com Let us know what's going on because I don't get it We'll see I'm gonna hop off in a couple of minutes here, and we're gonna unmute maybe that will change our opinions We'll see our opinions. We'll see. Okay, our final thing here, and then I get to try to combine these MP3 files together. So you're not wondering, hey, what's going on? There's two parts this week. That's going to mess up our episode count. I can't, I won't stand for that. One more trivia question here. This also came up this past Wednesday in our burning bush fourth prize effort it's a geography question

so here it is the 37th parallel north so line of latitude runs through Cairo Illinois aka the very southern tip of the state and it forms the exact northern border of which three US states. So one more time the 37th parallel north line of latitude which runs through Cairo, Illinois also forms the exact northern border of these three US states. I want all three states. If you really want time on your own to go through this, as I did when I was at the trivia game, go ahead and pause. I'm going to talk you through what I thought initially and then reveal the answer. So my first thought there mentioning

Illinois, I'm like, Okay, well, let's plan for states around Illinois. So first I was like, oh, Tennessee, that's got a real flat top. My first thought was like, okay, so Tennessee, then I guess North Carolina is directly east of there and they have the same kind of flat top. And I was like, okay, so it's gotta be something west of Tennessee.

And then I was thinking, okay, maybe like Kansas. But then I had the light bulb moment that Illinois does not actually border Tennessee, it gets cut off by Kentucky. So a line of parallel latitude that goes through Illinois cannot possibly be the northern border of Tennessee, which also takes care of North Carolina. So now we're dealing, it has to be west of the Mississippi. That was my light bulb moment. Then I started thinking west. Okay. So what's west of the Mississippi. That was my light bulb moment. Then I started thinking west. OK, so what's west of the exact southern tip of Illinois?

Then I was like, OK, kind of St. Louis area, but that's north of there. So it can't be Missouri. So we've got to go west of there. And then I was thinking, OK, Missouri borders Kansas and Nebraska. I don't think Kansas would be directly west of the southern tip.

But I don't know that for sure. Let's go west of Kansas, see what happens. Got a flat top, like Malcolm Jamal Warner, Cosby Show. So then I'm thinking, but wait, Kansas does not line up equally with Colorado, because Nebraska borders Colorado. So then I was starting to feel really stumped like I completely missed the question perhaps and then the light bulb went off the last light bulb. I'm like okay so what else can we deal with the west of the Mississippi not Kansas below Kansas is

Arkansas that's not going to be quite right either then boom aha I thought, hey, four corners. That's pretty geometric. On the south side of it, all the way out west, you got Arizona, you got New Mexico. They seem like they got flat tops. What's directly east of there? Not Texas, Oklahoma. I remember that Oklahoma panhandle borders New Mexico, and that Oklahoma seems to have a very flat top and runs east into What it's at Arkansas something like that

So then I'm thinking oh, it's gotta be Arizona New Mexico and Oklahoma and the whole Illinois hot tip was a red herring To get you focused on that part of the country and boom. There's your answer Arizona New Mexico and Oklahoma are the three states whose northern border is formed by the 37th parallel north. Okay we made it this is one of the longest episodes in a long time here thanks for sticking with it because it went off the rails it came back and then off the rails a couple more times. But I had fun. Home alone, like Macaulay Culkin, here on Friday, August 2nd.

Next week, who knows? I don't know. August is a great, fun month. It's preseason footballs, heating up. We had the Bears play yesterday. We got, you know, falls coming. Getting into our little something-sump something something's here a wedding planning going on So much to be excited about here. Thank you for supporting our show if you're a new listener
