Hey, what's going on? It's Quinn Davis Furness. Welcome to my show. Quinn Davis Furness presents
the Bean Town podcast for Sunday, June 30th, 2024. What's happening? What's going on? How
are you? My name is Quinn Davis Furness and I am the creator host and
principal photographer
little alliteration there
For this program Quinn David Furness presents the Bean Town podcast last day of June. What's happening?
I'm gassed just got back from the pride parade a lot of love a lot of joy a lot of celebration here in Chicago and then you're walking back to the Pride Parade. A lot of love, a lot of joy, a lot of celebration here in Chicago,
and then you're walking back to the train and there is some sort of twerking contest and someone
climbing a tree and they may have been twerking well in the tree. It was kind of difficult to
make out but waded through the crowd and got back wade in the water. Should have more, should have more spirituals on
this show. Rachel's singing in the background, can't quite pick up the rich harmonies. Yeah.
I wish you could hear, she's got a beautiful singing voice. And she just agreed to do a
song at her wedding, which I'm really excited for. So more details to come on that in the coming months less than 10
months till we're getting hitched it's very exciting means there's still a
slight chance that Quinn jr. can be at the wedding we'll see knock on wood it's
hard to podcast when there's someone right behind you what's happening a
listener discretion is advised when you're listening to this program.
Number one will occasionally some language number two this podcast is objectively terrible.
And if you hate politics, well buckle up because today on the Bean Town podcast, we're going
through the top 10 potential replacements for Joe Biden in this November's presidential
election. So we're gonna be going through some
prominent candidates, some of your old favorites, maybe some dark horses, maybe
RFK's brain worm. I don't know. I'm not sure where the worm leans
politically. I couldn't even really tell you where RFK leans politically. All I
know is he's certainly has his opinions and he has his follower.
Followers plural, just one, I think that's about all he has.
I don't know, is RFK like, he's like further right than left, I'm pretty sure, definitely.
And I don't know, is he like a libertarian?
I feel like you can be a libertarian and you can basically believe anything that doesn't really
tell you anything about your morals or principles or your leanings kind of like a Whig party member, W-H-I-G.
I'm drinking water today. Big old block of ice.
Stuck my Nalgene, the entire 32 ounces, in the freezer while we were at the parade
and now it's dethawing a little bit. But it's good stuff, just drinking a big frozen block.
Frozen block sounds like it would be the name of the Siberian prison that David Harbour goes to in
Stranger Things. Where are goes to and Stranger Things.
Where are we at on Stranger Things? We have four seasons now and they're doing it, they're supposed to do a fifth and
final one, is that right?
I really lost interest when they killed off Sean Astin.
I don't know, I don't even think I, I think I completely abandoned ship on
season four, which was already what, probably three years ago, four years ago maybe?
Probably not four years, maybe two or three years ago. I was with it, I was a big strange head.
I was called me Dr. Strangelove through season two and then season three was on with the mall,
right, with Maya Hawk and stuff and I felt like then I was still kind of interested. I thought it
was fine, but season four I didn't even I just gave up on it
Just the same thing over and over again
not really enjoying it, but
I don't know there. I think they're supposed to do one more season and obviously Netflix is
Got to be pushing big for it to happen. I assume it's their most popular show they've ever created
But we'll see what happens.
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, Hyderabad, Karachi. You think they do pride
parades anywhere in Pakistan? Probably not. Maybe it's like, maybe the government would lay a trap
where it's like, hey, Karachi, city of 7 billion people,
you can do a pride parade and then it's just a trap
for all the people to out themselves
and then they shoot them in the street.
I assume that's pretty much what happens
in the streets of Karachi if they were to you know bait the LGBTQAP community
lesbian gay trans bi straight Pakistani so if you're listening out there and
Pakistan and you're out and proud just watch your back because I feel like I
don't know the government's probably not into that sort of thing.
Email us, bintownpodcast.com.
If you're Pakistani and you're gay, lesbian, queer, or otherwise an ally, let us know what's your experience like.
Love to get you on the show as a guest.
In case you're wondering, yes, I am low energy, just gassed.
Really, one of those weekends where you don't get as much sleep
as you want to on Friday or Saturday and you're drinking both Friday, Saturday and a little
bit Thursday. Well you had to have a drink for that presidential debate. I actually didn't
but you had to. I had my drinks before at kickball and then the debate started after.
So I'm just like Jackson Brown running on empty here. Looking
across the street, I can't quite see it from here, but there's a great old German tavern,
Rezzi's Beer Tube that I really want to hit up one of these days. It's literally down
across the street. Apparently it's got a nice patio in back, kind of an old timey German
place, but I bet it'd be lit on Oktoberfest
during Oktoberfest it's not just one day apologies for anyone it wasn't last
week but the week before with our recording setup where it was quiet I had
to reissue an upload which I've probably done once or twice before but I mean
we're like 340 350 episodes in something like that, and it's only happened maybe one other time, I think,
if I can recall. I don't have any explanation. When I'm recording on this computer, at first,
I thought it was an audacity thing where the volume automatically goes down,
At first I thought it was an audacity thing where the volume automatically goes down. But then I'm just using the native Microsoft or the native Windows voice recorder app here
and it seemed to happen two weeks ago as well, but it's not every time.
I've closed out of any other applications that may be wanting to use the microphone,
including my internet browser.
So it's just you and me and Windows voice recorder, just
shooting the breeze at 5 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon. But let's jump into it here.
I told Rachel it would be a short episode. I'm going to hold myself to that because I'm tired.
So the first of two presidential debates was this past Thursday night.
I think it was the earliest presidential debate ever.
And of course, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Anderson Cooper, Dana Bash, or not Anderson Cooper,
Jake Tapper, Dana Bash moderating CNN, and no live audience.
It felt like if Black Mirror decided they wanted to make a debate episode
There's like no audience
Just felt very like controlled and futuristic. I don't know it was it was pretty much a letdown from the get-go
We're we're late on the breaking news now
but so I don't this isn't gonna be a shock to anyone or this isn't going to be the first time anyone's hearing it but Trump was kind of his old self and pretty much just said whatever he wanted to.
And then, Joe Biden couldn't really say anything so it was kind of a tale of two candidates. If you're curious and you're thinking, hey,
how can I best prepare for the next presidential debate, which
is all the way in September, literally three months
from right now after the RNC, which is only two weeks away
now, and DNC is another month past that here in Chicago.
RNC is up in Milwaukee, I think the 15th, 16th,
something like that.
And then DNC is mid August in Chicago. You can go to bean town podcast.com slash blog. That's where
we posted the odds from being town sports book in advance of Thursday night's debate.
So you could have sent us a wager sent us your social security number and some money
and probably got some back.
Basically I'm a bookie, it's not official, you know, so keep it on the down low.
Don't want the state of Illinois or the federal government to find out about this,
but I'll hold your money and if you win I'll pay it out, if not I'll keep it.
Beantown bookie, that's me. So it was pretty rough. And
one of the things they were talking about, which I think this is going to lose steam,
you know, after another week of new cycling, maybe not. That's just my, my hunch, my gut.
But they were talking like, okay, what do we do now? We got to replace
Joe Biden. We can't put him back out there on this ticket. We can't lose to Trump. And
so they were starting to, you know, I've seen some tweets about it and everyone's starting
to think, well, who should we put out there? Should it just be Kamala or should we actually
like try to run someone legit not that Kamala is not
legit but just like a new fresh face so that got me thinking hey what if we and
this is going to double as our this week on the campaign trail what if we and
we're gonna finish with some presidential debate trivia who are the
who are the leading candidates to replace Sleepy Joe?
Crooked Joe.
Joe needs something with alliteration, right?
Trump really dropped the ball on that one.
Everyone loves alliteration.
Another J, what could we do?
Jumpin' Joe.
He's not really jumpy.
Jive in Joe.
I don't know.
Jovial Joe.
These are all too positive.
So who are the top 10 candidates to replace Joe Biden in this fall's general
election? And I wrote down the list of names before I started recording when I was at the
Pride Parade, but I actually neglected to rank them, which is embarrassing. So I'm just
gonna have to do this live like old friend of the show Bill O'Reilly would say. So here we go starting with
number 10 Kamala Harris because it kind of seems like the obvious choice and if
Joe kills over and dies that's probably what's gonna happen but I don't know. Let me
say this first and foremost all jokes aside, I think Kamala's a badass and even
though we don't really see much of her as VP, I think she's you know pretty solid. Now beyond
that I find her to her voice to be very challenging for me personally to listen to. It sounds like
she's always about to break down and cry.
I don't know.
I can't imagine listening to Kamala to a State of the Union.
It'd be cool for a little bit, because it's
like first woman president.
But then I'd also just be like, are you OK?
Do you need a tissue?
So yeah, Kamala is tough for me to listen to.
But I don't know, seems like the safe choice.
Rachel wants to come on the podcast. Oh no,
she's just grabbing some candy. So Kamala Harris, number 10. Number 9, something I saw floating
around on Twitter here and there, because he's pretty popular around these parts. JB Pritzker, current governor of Illinois.
And let's let's throw in it. I didn't have this as you know officially on my
list, but let's throw in as an alternate you know especially if he was gonna pick
his own VP here. So alternate slash VP pick Blagojevich because he's barred from
holding office
in the state of Illinois, but nothing federally, right?
Trump's a convicted felon.
He can be president.
So why can't Rob Blagojevich be president?
You know, I was playing George Michael's Freedom 90
on the piano this morning, sort of a gay anthem.
And then that got me thinking, hey, that's the song
I used for my sweet Rob Blagojevich welcome home slideshow that I made three
or four years ago when he got out of prison. I guess more than that now,
because Trump released them, so probably like five, six years ago. I
think it was fall of 2019. Does that sound right?
You can go check it out on my YouTube channel. It's got some cool photos of Rod.
Sometimes Obama's in there.
Interspersed our clips of me dancing,
and I got some sick moves.
I was wearing this cool Hawaiian shirt.
So pretty good video.
So number eight, or excuse me, number nine, JB Pritzker.
And I guess we spent most of the time talking about Rod Blagojevich. shirt. So pretty good video. So number eight, or excuse me, number nine, JB Pritzker. And
I guess we spent most of the time talking about Rod Blagojevich. All right, who else we got on this list? Well, number eight, you know, Trump served one term and he's trying to come back
and he's old. So that got me thinking, is there anyone else who only served one term who could come back in their role to kind of fit the mold of
Biden or Trump and then it struck me the choice is obvious Jimmy Carter. He's out there. He's a free agent. He's available
He would be
One of the first presidents in a while who's not currently married right pull an old James Buchanan rest in peace Rosalind
But Jimmy's just hanging out in Georgia,
and figure if they can throw Biden out there, why can't we throw Jimmy Carter out there?
What if Jimmy Carter's like second term stunning achievement was that he built a new White House,
right? Habitat for Humanity. I think that'd be that'd be a good example to set
for the future generations.
I don't know how much hammering Jimmy is doing these days.
I think he's not that mobile from what I've heard.
But maybe he can still move his forearm back and forth,
or at least his wrist, if nothing else.
So Jimmy Carter, he's only a couple years older than Biden.
Trump, 99.
Still fresh, still sharp.
Sharp as a tack.
Great phrase.
So a lot of people are thinking we should go younger.
Pete Buttigieg, Andrew Yang, I say,
country seems to like their old folks.
So let's just lean into it and go old Jimmy Carter. Why not?
Pull a Grover Cleveland. Two non-consecutive terms. People think
Trump's gonna be the one to do it. We're forgetting about Jimmy Carter. There is
no one else who's eligible, right? Obama two terms, Bush two terms, Clinton two
terms, and old Herbert Walker there. Rest in peace.
Yeah, Jimmy's our last hope for this. So that's number eight, Jimmy Carter. Number
seven, coming back to the present day, if we're gonna lean into the female angle
here, which is fine, she's not my only female on the list, I have multiple
actually, but I figure we already, But I figure we did a package deal
with Pritzker and Blagojevich.
They'd have to learn to get along.
Well, why don't we take the best traits of Amy Klobuchar
and the best traits of Amy Warren and try to, or Amy Warren,
Elizabeth Warren, and try to make it happen?
Because they both tried to be president before.
Elizabeth Warren has tried, I think, twice now, 16 and 20.
And then Klobuchar just in 20, I think.
If my memory serves me correctly,
I don't think she was throwing her hat in the ring at 16
or anything like that.
But it seems like they both are good politicians with good heads on their shoulder and represent
their states well.
Massachusetts and Minnesota, I think, if my memory serves me correctly.
But they just don't have enough oomph to get over the finish line.
So maybe we just take Elizabeth Warren's mom way of speaking with Amy Klobuchar's cool bangs?
I don't know, is that...
We could probably throw in something like Tammy Duckworth's legs or something.
That's not even meant to be like a poor taste joke about Tammy Duckworth.
It's just for building a machine, you know?
Might as well lean into all the
parts we can get. Tammy if you're listening I love you. So there we go we got number seven Amy
Klobuchar bangs Elizabeth Warren's mom personality and Tammy Duckworth's legs. Number six, last one, and then we're going to say thank you
to our sponsors.
A lot of people think that he had his sort of 15 minutes
of presidential election fame.
But you know what?
Sometimes people get 30 minutes.
So Mike Bloomberg, come on down.
I don't even know how I remembered
that he made a run for president. It was such
a short-lived bizarre thing. His campaign lasted for like 20 days back in 2020 if you'll recall,
where he throws his hat in the ring. He's like one of the richest men on earth. And I think he
got up on the debate stage once. I don't even remember. But it was just so quick,
so fast, and he was so like not popular at all. And so he just dropped out. But when I was working
for Johns Hopkins, Mike Bloomberg gave us $1 billion, which is crazy for student financial aid.
So I don't know, maybe he doesn't have enough money for a legit run. Maybe
that was his problem. But yeah, Mike Bloomberg, come on down. You're number six on our list of
potential replacements for jumping jovial Joe Biden. Before we reveal the top half of the list,
thank you to our sponsors, Home Pride Oregon. It's Pride Month, guys, for seven more hours.
And don't forget, it's not just about LGBTQIA.
It's also about Home Pride Oregon.
541-410-0316 is a great number to call if you're feeling prideful or if you just need
your home inspected in Central Oregon, or both, frankly.
You don't have to cancel each other out.
Call Steve or go to homepriorityorgan.gmail.com.
Send me an email.
Tell him Quinn sent you.
Double internacci, in short.
Good stuff.
Good stuff.
Homepriorityorgan inspection perfection.
Don't let those big real estate companies,
their stranglehold take over your life.
Of course, our good friends at the Samson Q2U series
took a well-deserved break last week.
And it's been like two and a half weeks almost,
and they're back in the ring here today.
Leading the charge for us, if you ever
have any audio issues or listening issues
to the Beantown podcast, there's one company you can't blame,
and that's Samson Q2U series.
When God speaks, he uses Samson.
And I was, this was in a group chat this morning,
a family friend from my hometown
who's teaching a class at my homeschool co-op.
And he's a businessman and does MLM stuff.
And we were, my brother was asking
what class we think he
teaches at this homeschool experience. He teaches a class and I don't business
technologies they think is what it was but I was thinking it should be
something some sort of play on words with profits right because he's he's
he's big into MLMs and making money and scheming. And profits is a great biblical word.
So well, I skew towards the minor profits more.
I think if I was going to start my own money show,
I'd have to call it major profits, right?
It'd be about God, money, and family.
That's maybe a Beantown podcast spin-off.
If anyone out there is
could do a good like Jim Baker style persona and podcast for them and they
want to join me on the major profits podcast, just let us know. We'll get
together. That would be a kick-ass show. Then of course, our good friends at Cuts by Q.
When you need a fresh, do you use something snappier or do you call the experts at Cuts by Q?
I woke up this morning. My hair is looking gnarly, man.
It was a sweaty day yesterday. The humidity just absolutely took it out of me.
We handle humidity. We'll do perms.
I don't know. I think perms you need some chemicals, right?
I probably have to go see if we had any like rice wine vinegar in the freezer or
something. Well you wouldn't put rice wine vinegar in the freezer. Does vinegar freeze? Probably. I don't even
really know what vinegar is though. Let's learn something. You know this is one of
those things where... Look, I've been around
vinegar for almost 30 years. And I have no idea what it is. What is vinegar? Where does it come
from? What do we know about vinegar? What does it mean? Is that Dutch? Okay, vinegar, Wikipedia,
it's gonna be good from old French sour wine is an
aqueous solution of acetic acid and trace compounds that may include
flavorings five to eighteen percent acidic acid by volume so what the heck
is acidic acid it's got a specific colorful or color chemical formula not colorful formula so it's just its carbon
hydrogen and oxygen is what we're dealing with here and apparently if you
put those all together it makes makes your your acid sour I don't know the
acidic acid is produced by a double fermentation converting simple sugars to
ethanol using yeast and ethanol to acidic acid. There's too many
terminologies here and I need this in plain speak English. You use in the
culinary arts that's a great term culinary arts. Malt acid malt vinegar
what the heck is malt? Obviously I know what we used to get
malt candies when I was a kid and I hated them and not my jam
cuts by Q and you need a fresh cheese and snappy or new or you need some
vinegar I don't know rice wine balsamic apple cider vinegar. Probably other kinds too that we haven't even
discovered as a human race yet.
That's pretty cool to think about.
How many more vinegars are we going
to discover in my lifetime?
I'm excited.
Forget colonizing Mars.
I'm more concerned about how many more vinegars
we can discover.
Okay, so so far we've had 10 through 6 Kamala Harris, Pritzker slash Bogoyevich for 9,
Jamie Carter 8, Amy Klobuchar Elizabeth Warren, and Tammy Duckworth super, you know,
6 million dollar man, 7. Michael Bloomberg 5. five okay who do we have left
on the list here let's go back Al Gore not just Al Gore number five but Al Gore
and his fleet of wind turbines I don't know I'm thinking like any like a Marvel
super villain or something where he's got like these little drones there but
they're tiny little wind turbines and they follow him everywhere. Almost like a docock situation with the arms
and there's sentient.
Sentient.
Sentient is what I said.
Sentret, that's a Pokemon.
Gen three, I think.
Or gen two, maybe.
I don't know.
But Algor and his fleet,
love having a good fleet of wind turbines.
I was thinking of going for whales,
but then I was like, that's the joke that 30 Rock makes. He's like, I have to go a whale somewhere.
A whale needs me. He rushes away. So yeah, I'm imagining like a super villain, Doc Ock
kind of Al Gore with a bunch of wind turbines, mini little wind turbines that follow him
around everywhere and they can attack or they can attack or they can use their powers for good. It's up to the turbines,
their sentient. All right, number four, we're going a little dark horse here. That's not
meant to be a comment on her skin color. She's just a dark horse, but she's been floated before Oprah Winfrey.
I feel like Oprah, I don't think she ever really said anything about, but that was like
a hot speculation back in 2020 or 2019, whatever it was like, oh man, is Oprah going to run?
We've had these other things as well, like Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Kanye.
But Oprah I think is the one who could actually rally people
together.
Now, here's the question I have.
Now, I'm almost 30 years old.
Obviously, I know Oprah, but I'm a little bit too young
to have been part of the Oprah phenomenon, where
I would be a huge fan.
I mean, her show was obviously still very popular
and still going until I was, you know,
what probably early teens, something like that.
I don't remember exactly when the Oprah Winfrey show stopped, but I'm not like a super fan.
But I think people probably slightly older than me, and then older than them are probably
still super fans of Oprah.
I don't know.
I feel like she's not, I was going to say,
I feel like she's not in the news that much these days, but I mean, she is the news, right? She like
has her whole media conglomerate. So I don't know. Maybe Oprah could make a run and she could choose
that one guy that she's been like together with, but not married to for like 40 years that could be her running mate I don't know could be exciting number four Oprah
number three America's sweetheart Tulsi Gabbard Tulsi Gabbard was a
Democratic senator representative I think representative from Hawaii if I recall correctly and she ran in the primaries in
2016 I think it was and she was really spooky
You know who was even spookier though. Who was that one lady like the witch from 2020? Oh, man
What was her name? You guys remember who I'm talking about? We got to look this up
She was all about healing healing powers and stuff. 2020 Democratic primaries, candidates. Okay,
politico.com. This is from February 12. Her name was like Marion something. Is that is that ringing a bell for anyone? All right. Down the list back in 2020, but these were the candidates Biden, Bloomberg,
Klobuchar, Warner, I don't even know who that is. Tim Kaine, John Kerry, no. Okay. Cory
Booker, I forgot about that guy. Is he still in the Senate? I don't even remember. Who
are, there's Tulsi Gabbard, Kirsten Gillibrand.
Was this lady Republican?
Her name was like Mary, Mary or Marion something.
I can't even remember but she was Williamson was that who that was?
Marianne Williamson I think that's right a self help self help author.
And yeah, what do we think she's up to these days?
I mean, everyone's always like, oh, what do you think Sarah
Palin's up to these days?
But Marianne Williamson, that's a deep cut.
That's not even who we're talking about here,
but maybe she and Tulsi Gabbard could be the ticket.
What is she?
Yeah, she's a spiritual advisor.
Oh, and she was launched into prominence by Oprah Winfrey
So maybe they they should team up. I don't know
Marianne Williamson
Was slightly or very briefly in the
Democratic primaries just this year. She terminated her campaign June 11, 2024. Why haven't I heard
about this? This was 19 days ago. I'm so out of the loop, man. Tulsi Gabbard is kind of
creepy though, and now she's a Republican. So probably wouldn't work well. I feel like
the DNC probably not going to go for it, but crazier things have happened. Number two, AI Obama.
So Obama can't be president anymore,
but I don't know what the Constitution has
to say about AI people, right?
I don't think they covered that.
The founding fathers didn't have the foresight.
So we could just train an AI model to act and think and get bin Laden just like the
real Obama, but this is AI. I don't know who says no, not me. I'd be down for that and he can stay the same age forever. He doesn't have to get old.
I think, in all honesty, some sort of computer algorithm, AI Obama is a better choice for president
than at least Marianne Williamson.
Probably Talsey Gabbard, too.
And after all the surgeries, probably the Elizabeth Warren
Klobuchar Duckworth machine too. Maybe not Jimmy Carter but most of them. That brings us
to number one on our list is Jake from State Farm. You want to know who can
unite the country. It's a fictional insurance sales or a spokesperson. The
actor is from from Chicago here. You know
who I feel bad for? I not actually feel bad but just lost to the dustbin of
history. The original Jake from State Farm just that white pudgy white guy in
his khakis and then they decided to go in for a major rebrand. Now they I don't
know what this actor's name is but the actor is not gonna be president. It's
gonna be the character Jake from State Farm.
If we can have an AI Obama be president at number two,
then we could have an insurance spokesperson be president too.
Now, the question then becomes, well, if we're talking insurance,
how does Jake from State Farm stack up against the general or lemu emu and doug
right that that'd be a complete ticket there flow of course and uh the uh the aflac duck
probably not as good now that uh gilbert godfrey's gone and then uh the gecko from Geico. Who would you want as president? Let us
know. Email us at beanthompodcasts.yahoo.com. It's beanthompodcasts.yahoo.com. Let us know which
insurance salesman, and maybe I missed someone, you would like to have as president. If not Jake
from State Farm, who else? Who else could you see? Maybe maybe the Allstate guy Dean Winters
Mayhem when I was a kid Allstate had that black actor from 24 and I always
thought it was Denzel Washington but it's not he could be good too he's no
nonsense kind of guy that black guy not Dean Winters where there is one other
that I'm forgetting about right now I I don't remember the company, but that's good content.
Let us know if there are any prominent insurance characters
that I'm forgetting about.
Maybe the Prudential Life Whale?
I don't know.
Tail Slaps, that was a great commercial.
OK, that's what I got for you.
Number 10, Kamala Harris. Number 9, JB Pritzker slash Blagojevich. Number was a great commercial. OK, that's what I got for you. Number 10, Kamala Harris.
Number 9, JB Pritzker slash Blagojevich.
Number 8, Jimmy Carter.
7, the Klobuchar, Warren Duckworth machine.
6, Mike Bloomberg.
5, Al Gore and his fleet of wind turbines.
4, Oprah Winfrey.
3, Tulsi Gabbard and maybe Marianne Williamson.
2, AI Obama.
And number 1, Jake from State Farm.
There is your list of potential replacements.
Let's finish this off with some trivia here.
So we've done this sort of thing before,
where it's just a game or like a link.
And rather than one question, this is going to be an article.
And we're going to go through these questions together.
And I didn't vet them, because I wanted
to play along with you at home.
So keep track of yourself.
These are 12 quotes from US presidential debates, a quiz.
So they're going to be multiple choice.
So they have a timer here.
I can't stop it.
So we got to go.
It's 30 seconds on each one.
Here we go first.
I will not make age an issue of this campaign.
I am not going to exploit for political purposes
my opponent's youth and inexperience.
Who said it, Reagan or Mondale?
And I think they ran against each other,
so I'm going to say Reagan.
And that's right.
OK.
We got 500 points.
That's pretty good.
Number two, I had the chance to pull together a cabinet,
and all the applicants seemed to be men.
I went to a number of women's groups and said,
can you help us find folks?
And they brought us whole binders full of women. I don't even think we need the answer choices there, but that was Obama and
Romney and or Obama or Romney. And the answer of course is Mitt Romney and other 500 points were
hot. And that was in 2012. Number three, we can no longer afford to be second best. I want people
all over the world to look at look to the United States again to feel that we're on the move
To feel that our high noon is in the future was that Kennedy or Nixon this this is the one
I actually don't know it seems like something Kennedy would say maybe that's a trick. Maybe it was Nixon
So I'm gonna I'm gonna go with my gut which is Kennedy
Now there's 500 points. We're right. We're hot. We're three for three
Another 500 points, we're right, we're hot, we're 3 for 3. Next up, as soon as he travels to 112 countries and negotiates a peace deal, a ceasefire,
a release of dissidents, an opening of new opportunities in nations around the world,
or even spends 11 hours testifying in front of a congressional committee, he can talk
to me about stamina.
What was that, Hillary or Trump?
And well, I think it has to be Hillary.
There you go. I only got 300 points that time, it has to be Hillary. There you go.
I only got 300 points that time.
It's kind of disappointing.
I don't understand why, but oh well.
Next up, nobody has more respect for women than I do.
Again, the answer choice is Hillary or Trump.
And that one is Trump, I'm pretty sure.
There we go, back up to 500 points.
Number six, well
actually he forgot Poland. Was that George W Bush or John Kerry? This is one I
don't recall and I have no idea. Well actually he forgot Poland. I'm gonna say
George W Bush seems like Kerry would have taken a dig at you know something
with like Bush's intelligence. I'm gonna say that's
George W Bush. Got it. 470 points this time okay. So we've gotten 500, we've got 300, we've got 470.
We're halfway home, we're still perfect and we have 2770 points. Question seven. It's hard to get any word in with this clown excuse me this person Trump or Biden.
Sounds like something Joe would say let's try Joe. Yes 500 points. That was back in 2020.
Next up I served with Jack Kennedy I knew Jack Kennedy Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine Senator you're no Jack Kennedy.
That's a famous quote I think so it's either Dan Quayle or Lloyd
Benson. I think Quayle said it. No, we messed up. Sorry, the the older generation listening is gonna
think I'm stupid for that one. But Lloyd Benson said that of Dan Quayle. Alright, we've drawn
first blood here. We got four questions left next up. This one's got four
answer choices. When I hear your new ideas, I'm reminded of that
ad. Where's the beef? Walter Mondale, Jesse Jackson, Gary
Harder, John Glenn, I have no idea. I'm gonna go with
Mondale because I don't know. But let's say Mondale. It was
okay, and a full 500 points. So double jeopardy. All right.
Number 10.
There you go again.
Reagan or Carter.
That sounds like something Reagan would say, but we are he was already the answer once.
So I think it's gonna be Carter.
It was Reagan.
Why are we doing quotes?
Why are we doing two answers? There's only 12 questions here.
Could we not come up with 12 different people? You can even give me the undercard, right?
It could have been a Marianne Williamson quote. Tricky, tricky. All right, two left. You're
likable enough, Hillary. Hillary Clinton, Bill Richardson, Barack Obama, or John Edwards.
Sounds like an Obama quote, right right and it was full 500 points
and then our final question here I'd like to start by offering you a deal Jack
if you won't use any football stories I won't tell any of my warm and humorous stories about
chlorofluorocorbin well chlorofluorocarbon abatement well this is one stupid because
it's either Al Gore or Jack Kemp and
He calls him Jack in the quote, so I'm pretty sure it's Al Gore
It sure was
Excuse me I
Don't even remember Jack Kemp, but that must have been
Bob Dole's running mate
if I recall correctly
So there you go. Let us know how you did
email us. BeanTownPodcast at yahoo.com. I think I was 10 out of 12. Would have
been 11 out of 12 but there was a trick question, a second Reagan quote and
that's what I got for you. Thanks so much for listening to my program, Quinn David
