The Trout Stream
#56- I AM THE CAPTIAN NOW
As Harry and Paul embarked on our 56th podcast adventure, we couldn't help but marvel at the significance of the number 56—a beacon of history and intrigue—from the signers of the Declaration of Independence to the majestic counties of Montana. This episode is brimming with the spirit of wild encounters and the roar of the racetrack, starting with our personal tales of witnessing bald eagles in flight and an impromptu bison birth in Yellowstone. We weave through our own brush with nature's grandeur, sharing stories that transport you from the serene to the pulse-pounding excitement of NASCAR races and the respect commanded by the likes of Dale Earnhardt Jr., both behind the wheel and on the sidelines.
Strap in as we shift gears, reminiscing on Philadelphia Phillies' unforgettable moments and the thrill of a close shark encounter that led to a newfound caution for ocean dips. We discuss the intricacies of pit strategies that make or break NASCAR races and offer a nod to the unsung heroes in the pit and garage crews. Their stories, along with the bravery of Tipton's life-saving garbage collectors, are a testament to the extraordinary feats of everyday people. We also don't shy away from the cultural touchstones set by iconic football movies, reflecting on how characters like Lawrence Taylor and Alvin Mack shape our love for the game and our cultural conversations.
Join us as we sail across the podcast seas, with a bracket showdown of captains that rivals any sports competition. We send a special shout-out to our listeners tuning in from Tooting to Estonia, and share a few laughs over the quirks and conundrums of global connections. Our community grows with each episode, and as we hurtle towards 700 members, we can't help but extend our heartfelt thanks and a reminder to join the vibrant exchange of stories, laughter, and the occasional eel-centric curiosity. Whether you're here for the NASCAR insights or the echoes of Phillies' cheers, this Trout Stream episode is a celebration of the wild, the fast, and the profoundly human.

Hello friends, and welcome back to another episode of the Trout Stream. I am Harry Trauman, and with me, as always, is my co-host, I am Paul Trauman. So pick up a poll, cast a line and join us on the stream. Today, on episode 56, we will discuss our favorite athletes to wear 56, hand out our golden droughts and Eels of the Week, talk about our favorite captain's bracket and, of course, much more. Another episode, another welcome back, paul. Welcome back to 56 56.
Speaker 1:56 episodes, same number of counties entering Montana. Harry, another interesting fact about 56. 56 brave men signed the Declaration of Independence.
Speaker 2:Just heard a bald eagle scream. Do you ever see a wild bald eagle? Yes, ah, toy, awesome. Yes, there is a place not far from me called the Conowingo Dam.
Speaker 1:And it's a I believe you, conowingo.
Speaker 2:It's also very good. Say it, conowingo, it's fun to say, but it does. It is a dam and it produces electricity. Obviously there's an island and there's just bald eagles everywhere and I went down a couple times, took a truck there, did some fishing it's a lot of fun and there's people there with those giant lenses for their camera where, like, their camera is worth more than my brand new truck, the lens alone and they're just out there spawning eagles getting awesome pictures. National geographic style.
Speaker 1:I guess that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2:I shed a tear for America every time I'm there.
Speaker 1:I made eye contact with a bald eagle one time I was in Minnesota with Chance we're driving. I think we might have been deer hunting. Remember we were driving down this road and there's a giant eagle nest in the town over, with live stream video showing the eggs and stuff. And then they find the dog collars and cat collars and the nest. True story. They find the owner to say here's your collar back. But yes, we're driving. And he was like, oh look, there's an eagle and I look over and all eight feet of those wingspan just stares right at me and I was like Lee Greenwood sunk to me at that moment. I was proud to be an American.
Speaker 2:Not far from my house. I was driving and in the middle of the field there was one taking a bath in a puddle and I was just like it was just right. I pulled over and I just watched it. Yeah, it was so cool, so majestic. What is the coolest animal you've ever seen in the wild? You've done a far bit more traveling than me, but what is the coolest?
Speaker 1:And eagles probably the coolest I've seen. Yeah, I try to avoid other cool animals. Yeah, when the Yellowstone is all bison, I don't know if you can count Yellowstone as the wild.
Speaker 1:I would because, like it's protected. We watched a bison give birth. No way, it was the most random experience ever, because you come around the curb, right Giant open field, and there's bison everywhere and they tell you like be careful, they're in the road. And they're in the road, there's a field of hundreds of them. You're like there's one up by itself. What is that one doing? What is she? What is going on? And it was far enough away to where Jeff brought his binoculars. So everything turns and yep, that's exactly what you think it is. So we go down the road, we do some stuff and as we come back, there's four or five more babies in their group and there's a stream, harry, so like pretty deep stream that they had a crossover. His baby was just born and the mom starts walking across stream, going come on now. And you're like I don't know if I want to watch this baby get swept away by the stream or not. And bison are tough. Bison are tough, yeah, but we saw some blackberries, brown bear, elk, but it's in Yellowstone, yeah.
Speaker 2:What's the craziest thing you've seen? The craziest thing I heard was definitely a bear in the Smoky Mountains. I was outside. It was like 11 and 30. I'm not a great outdoorsman I don't want to say that but I am comfortable outdoors. Right, I can assure you that it was not a raccoon. I can assure you it was not a deer. Whatever was walking in between the cabins was very heavy and very big and I quickly ran inside and locked the door.
Speaker 2:No, absolutely makes sense. Yeah. Yeah, the bald eagles I kind of went go probably are the coolest thing I've ever seen, because it's just there's so many of them. Yeah, the biggest thing I've seen, one in the wild is oh my gosh, that's awesome, but a bunch of them, yeah, it's totally mind blowing. And yeah, bison, I always want to see them. It's a bucket list item to see them in the wild. Even in Yellowstone, yeah, I did see a cow give birth. So to me, that's what's so crazy and awesome about our lives is the fact that you've seen a bison, because you're very well traveled. I live in farm country and it was 1130 a night. Make a turn and I just see a newborn calf fall to the ground. Okay then that is interesting. Yeah, and it was one of those. The good person to me is we stop. But then I was like they'd probably do this all the time, right? Yeah, we kept going.
Speaker 1:Obviously nature knows what they're doing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was definitely slightly nauseating. I will say that, okay, yeah, I don't want to go into too much detail about that.
Speaker 1:I did see a coyote this year. Oh, the water in the woods. Yeah, I'm sitting there. I was doing hunting season early on and I just looked up and there's a coyote right there in the shooting lane. I was like all right buddy, so pulled the old trusty rifle up, made eye contact with it, turned the safety off and he heard that click of the safety, which there is no click of moving so slow and into the woods.
Speaker 2:Oh, I was ready. What has been the scariest situation you've been in In nature?
Speaker 1:I don't know if it's the scariest, but one of the scariest is hunting in public land in Minnesota with Chance six years ago or so. As we're walking, we're a couple dozen yards or so from each other, but walking in a path through the public area. On the other hand, there's been reports of a mountain line or a big cat in this area, but you can't shoot it unless it's attacking you, which now you're like oh, here I am with just a shotgun going and seven layers of clothes and you're walking right here checking the trail, and then I saw the paw prints. I saw no big cat prints and I'm going how fresh are you and which way are you? And they were going the direction I just so haven't been walking in its path and luckily it was scary but luckily guy shot a deer, so Chance. I'm like oh, hey, yeah, let's go over there. And so we didn't get. I mean we were a couple hundred yards into the woods, right, but we made an immediate left and went to go help guy because he needs to help.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's an instantly heard mentality right away. I was swimming in Jersey and the Jersey Shore and I go out pretty far because I naturally float, so it's not threatening to me at all. Really, shark fin three feet in front of me, a good shark fin. So it wasn't a small shark, it wasn't a baby. No, I got out of the water very quickly, oh yeah, luckily, it was like it turned and went out, so there was no need to be alarmed for other people. It was just coming in and going out, but it was terrifying and I did not go back in the water for the rest of the day. No, it makes sense, perfect sense. I'm just glad the Jersey Shore doesn't have crystal clear water.
Speaker 1:Let's just say that, yeah, because we've been watched to show you're really glad that water is not clean either. Who knows, we're going to find out there.
Speaker 2:We will find out who goes first. Nascar. Pickham's eye was beating you the entire race and we will cover it. Lana, we watched it from start to finish. It was a wreckfest.
Speaker 1:It was a pseudo super speedway. How fast can I go? Let's run into each other.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Again, I was very much ahead of you for a lot of the race. We raced at one point. That was super cool to see.
Speaker 1:Yeah but you legit were right. I was tracking you and Sabrina was watching the race a little bit with me and I was like this is Harry's guy.
Speaker 2:This is my guy. We were at our friend's house and they were like who do you want to win? And I was like that's the cool thing about where I am in my life is, I don't necessarily have a favorite driver, but for this race I do want Brad Kaszlowski to win, and Paul has Corey Lajoy. And yeah, until the wreck happened and then I got out, you stayed in. You obviously beat me, so it was yours.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'll take the floor in a second. I want to talk about this on a globe. Let's go back to the Daytona 500. We skipped the week of recording. There was a race in between there. You and I texted. I said, corey, you went first at Brad K. I went, corey Lajoy, the sixth car versus seventh car, but before that you had the 10 car with Noah Gregson and I took the 21, harrison Burton, and I'm listening to Daytona 500. We'll get into it later. My guy crashed on lap five. So, harry, his first pick. The next week he picks Brad K. I went with number seven, corey. Talk about dumb luck, man, because it worked out in my favor. These two are battling. You wreck. I go first. I got two 56s. I've only got two, two linebackers, two of the greatest linebackers to ever play the game. I started off with one. I give you. I just give you initials. I'm sorry, I can tell you his whole name LT Newark, new York football Giants. Lawrence Taylor, the scariest man, play football terrifying.
Speaker 1:There's other podcasts I list to that talk about professional athletes and crimes and everything they've committed in His episode is really good. I bet, I bet and I've been following up LT. Is that guy? Lawrence Taylor is the guy that, going back to when wish early in high school, I would watch film of him and Ray loose.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:More and Brian Bozworth had the Brian Bozworth hair. Lawrence, taylor, ray Lewis, mentality and game set match. But he's not my favorite linebacker number 56, harry, he's not my, anything's the best. He's number two, the number one linebacker, number one player number 56 linebacker from Eastern State University, timberwolves, alvin Mack. Harry, I don't know if you ever heard of that school, but in 1993 they were a big deal. Because those who don't know Alvin Mack is from the movie, the program, the greatest football movie ever made.
Speaker 2:There's one movie that you keep telling me I have to watch.
Speaker 1:If I do sports movies, each sport was your favorite baseball favorite, football favorite everything Hands down. The program is my favorite football movie and it is in the US. There are certain scenes that were. There was one big scene that was edited out because kids were idiots in the 90s, and Mainly Texas, I heard, but probably everywhere else. But it is one of the greatest football movies is there are the greatest football movie of all time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I gotta watch. I know I have to watch it.
Speaker 1:I think I owned it on DVD at one point. Maybe it was for sure. One of my favorite football, I want to say a hundred times. But Alvin Mack, his trash talking Harry, was some of the best in his movie. Once again, if I would have known about the program Much earlier in life. Chew, get off the tracks, because I'm like somebody up. That's it. That's all I had for 56. What you got.
Speaker 2:I got one picture for the Philadelphia Phillies. We got him from Oakland. He went for and, oh and, his first year as a Philly. Oh, the one, the only mr Homer in the world series, joe Blanton, I'm man, I did not know he went for. No, yeah, he was definitely a part of our four aces club. There he was. He was a fifth guy. He was yeah, not yeah, I liked him because he was. He was our fifth guy and I Think he could have been at top three on anyone else's pitching rotation for sure. He's what we had so much talent that he was our number five guy.
Speaker 1:He was he followed our two C2. Yeah, what you got, doc. Holiday. Cliff Lee Cole, hamels, roy Oswald was your for-hole.
Speaker 2:Yeah, one day we'll do a deep dive into that rotation. But yeah, he's your number five guy.
Speaker 1:How did the Phillies not win seven World Series in a row with those that pitching staff?
Speaker 2:Who knows what could have been. I Digress, I want to stay calm, yeah. But yes, joe Blanton, last week we got a little long winded, so we're gonna keep it rolling, we're gonna keep it moving. 56, one Really jumps out and that's Martin Truex, driving from Michael Waltrip racing.
Speaker 1:Whoa, that was a good one yeah he had the Napa car over there?
Speaker 2:He did. Did he also have the chrome wheels? Was it? Wasn't that just like Michael Waltrip's thing? I think it was Michael Waltrip's thing. He has one of the two wins for the 56. He has half the wins for the number. Out of all the women's he has half at one at one.
Speaker 1:Hey man, half is half.
Speaker 2:So what? After Michael Waltrip, he went to furniture.
Speaker 1:Oh, After the Michael Waltrip deal went down, they dissolved. He went from the 56 car to In 22 episodes we'll talk about the 78 core furniture row I.
Speaker 2:Think we also probably taught touch on Michael Truex during the 19th. I don't really want to hammer it, but I know he was a DEI guy too, yeah he was a part of the DEI upcoming Dm. Jrm and Gnasi.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but big on mainly Jrm and DI, because junior had a lot of these guys but dude's got an eye for talent. He brought a lot of these guys up. Denny, then Martin Chase.
Speaker 2:What question before we talked about hot Lana. Do you wish junior never would have raced and just would have been an Owner? No, do you think he needed to?
Speaker 1:race. He needed to race. He wouldn't got the respect if he just became an owner.
Speaker 2:I would have been daddy's money daddy show, but he went out there and prove that. No, I can do this too. That's saying that he was his dad or anything, but he definitely earned respect, that's for sure. So we're moving on the hot Lana. Like I said I don't know if I said it last week, I'll say this week Good buddy, steve, he is getting into NASCAR. Fun fact you ready for this? I haven't come in this yet. This is me telling you for the first time. Guess who was going to be to Drumroll? Please, please. The night Bristol race this year. No, steve and I were invited by a Co-worker of his. He's got a camper and we are going to make a weekend trip out of it and we are going to go see Bristol at night. You're gonna bristle at night. A crown jewel event Outstream will be well represented. Bristol at night, let's go.
Speaker 1:Bro, that is gonna. Oh man, bristle night race is Top three, top four Brown to see events Brown jewel event.
Speaker 2:I am so excited I we were coming back from Tennessee. Actually, angie and I were for a little trip and we stopped and it was. The track was wide open and no one was around. We could have literally drove our vehicle onto the track. I wanted to. I also did not want to get arrested in Bristol, tennessee, so we didn't do that, but we did. They get a picture outside and all that. That place is so cool dude.
Speaker 1:I cannot. Wait man, I'm really. There's nothing better than bristle night race, when they're bottoming out and sparks are flying.
Speaker 2:There's nothing better than just watching a bristle night race On tv.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Let alone in person. So it was super cool. We go over to their house and steve's came in I really want to get into NASCAR. And I was like you've come to the right guy, come on. Oh, buddy, yeah. So we go over, we put the race on and then his wife's I think I could get into this. And I was like you for sure can get into this. So the four of us watched an NASCAR race and it was so cool because they're asking me questions that I just knew off the top of my head, yeah, and I was like this is so cool right now.
Speaker 1:You're in your element. This is amazing. Yeah, sabrina had. We had the race on Sunday Dinner time in my house no tv. Like you and I grew up, tv was on every night at dinner, but it was the news. Jim garner joined us from the living room for dinner every single night and we don't watch news. So in our house tv's off, except for when the race goes late and with the red flag and stuff got with him and the race got delayed and I was like I gotta watch the end. I gotta watch the end, but let's do it. I played with the girls in the yard a lot outside, so we let's do it on the radio. Mm-hmm, teach them young, here's prn. Listen to these voices.
Speaker 2:One thing I love this oh, this is probably a stupid question, and that's all you know. Anyone would ask me a question like, oh, this post, no, it's not stupid, I will sit here for the next three, four hours and teach you everything I know, yeah. And then andrew tried to stump me and he was like, hey, who had the fastest Qualifying time at teledega speedway? And I was like, oh, bill elliot, yeah. And he was like, um, but how fast? And I was like 212 miles an hour, mm-hmm. And then that blew the crowd away. Everyone's like how do you know that? And I was like I know things because that's history, because I have a podcast where I talk about sports, life and everything in between. And, yeah, I know these. We wouldn't do this podcast if we were boring people.
Speaker 2:I did go back, so let's talk about growth here for a second. And I went and listened to episode one, which I'm proud of. Episode one yeah, I'm proud of every single episode. You and I have put out 55 up until this point 55 episodes, but it was dry. Yeah, we were so afraid to show a little personality. So now, in episode 56, I could say, yeah, we have 56 episodes and we will not stop until we are forced to stop. Yeah, but I also know this from us.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like I know things. Between the two of us. If we could sit together who wants to be a millionaire? We're gonna win a million dollars.
Speaker 2:If we could tag team who wants to be co-millionaires, it's fine by me, signed, sealed, delivered. Yeah, because even if we don't know it, the way my weird brain works, yeah, we'll be able to figure it out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just look at each other. But yeah, okay, see, bob. Final answer, first of my name's not bob. And what are you doing? Yes, pay the man.
Speaker 2:Yes, atlanta motor speedway became a super speedway. What two years ago? Two years ago? He has a third year. After the repave, repave, rebanking. I Like it. I wish guys would settle down a little more and draft a little better and quick. Getting so pushy, especially it to this race, and I'm not saying that because I lost right, it has nothing to do with the pick-ups. The pick-ups is just for fun between you and I, a little friendly competition, and I don't want people to think it's because I lost and because I got wrecked out, because I got wrecked out. By the way, I didn't wreck, I got wrecked out. No, no.
Speaker 1:Brad could handle his car right there.
Speaker 2:But I do think it would better the race. But also, what I liked was that chase Elliott somehow was up in the top 10 with nothing but Tape on his hood. Yeah, his front end was made of tape. Yeah, I loved it Not scotch, by the way, but yeah, nothing but tape and he's running top 10. So I like where the sports headed to, where, if you do wreck, you're not completely out as long as your structurally sound. But at the same time, I think everyone needed to just Calm down. And, by the way, we haven't even mentioned the how this race ended yet.
Speaker 1:No, Words can't describe it.
Speaker 2:But we're a podcast and we got to try. Okay, fine, ready, here we go.
Speaker 1:I live you sitting to my right, sabrina, there, pipe right the end and I had to race on. I told you we don't have the TV on in my house except for special occasions and ask a race special occasion. So they had to. Red flag for the caution and make sure it's a very was cleaned up. We're watching YRB. Young Ryan Blaney Is going drag racing, dangerous war is white flag comes out here.
Speaker 1:They come around the turn and they were getting three lines. They were getting hot, harry, they were getting some momentum. People were getting speed and being pushed. I think the most influential person on that last lap was bubble Wallace, because it bubble what? It is, just stuck when his line. We've had a different outcome. But here they go in the turn three and I'm watching. Your heart sinks, your heart's racing. Look at my watch. My heart rate went from 62 to 68. So I was like whoo, it's a good race, you're gonna be really amped up here. My heart rate would up.
Speaker 1:But next, you know, kyle Busch makes it three wide. The eight car, eight Cheddar's car, makes it three wide. You have three 3500 pound machines, 550 horsepower, is coming around Screaming eagles. And at this point, harry, I have, I have absolute faith and I love the fact that anybody Could ruin this race by trying to smash somebody else's car. Kyle Busch, sitting in the middle, the eight car. He has 12 tools left and 99 to his right. He could push 99 in the wall. He could have came down on the 12 to get him to slow up. Everybody held their line, doing 185 miles an hour, and they hit the stripe. And they're Three wide for the lead, for the win, and they hit the stripe and it looks like cars and it's been mentioned hundreds of thousands of times already but it looks like the end Of the movie, cars of it when they go for the piss and cup. Three wide for the finish. Insane naked eye. I had them. I picked the wrong winner who?
Speaker 2:did you pick? I thought it was Blaney. I thought it was Blaney as well, but it was Daniel Sores.
Speaker 1:Daniels war is one by point zero zero three seconds. Here's how fast that is. Faster than that, but then kind of bush finished third at point zero zero seven seconds behind the leader. I.
Speaker 2:Told everyone that was watching you just saw one of the best finishes in NASCAR history. On your very first race that you guys actually watched and enjoyed, you just saw one of the best Finishes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's our history right, there's already some debate. Is it the best? I think it's one of the best finishes, not the best race. The various was okay, but the finish right there, like the electricity. You just had the Netflix documentary, so there's a lot more viewership. Everybody's watching Daytona 500. It got pushed back to Monday, right, it got rained out and now you got Atlanta. Who is now, they don't say restricted plate race, they call them drafting tracks. Atlanta's turned into a drafting track and it's beautiful.
Speaker 2:It is, and I know that's what they want.
Speaker 1:The fans were electric. Just a Lot of people. I've ready hope to rate for the mile and a half in short tracks, because the super speedways or restrict plates or drafting tracks are great. You do a hundred and eight five miles an hour. You get in line, but these mile and a half that are coming up like Vegas and Kansas and then you got short tracks like Bristol at night. Hold on to your hats, folks, because there's only 34 races left in the season.
Speaker 2:That's just it. It the season just started and it's already amazing. It's so funny too, because for the people that just say turn left and it's so much more and I just wish people would just give it a race, mm-hmm, and you will see how crazy it is. So Someone brought up the fact that they don't like short tracks and I was like, but short tracks are great because it's pitch strategy. At that point, yeah, yeah, it's hard, it's hard to go from 14 to 1st. Adam Martinsville, mm-hmm. But you know what, if your pit crews on fire like William Byron is, yeah, that's pit crews. Let's talk about pit crews in the second, after I finish this statement, you can go 14 to 1st. You don't necessarily save time on the track, you save it every when else.
Speaker 2:Also, what I liked about this race going back to pit crews is they did the William Byron again greatest pit crew right now in the sport. They did a lineup like they do on Sunday night football. So I don't know if you, I don't know if you saw that. No, I missed out on it, but I heard about it. Unfortunately, I don't remember any of the guys names, but I'll just. I'll make one up Brian Williams, left tire changer, the 24 car university of Tennessee, and I was like this is so awesome, that's what amazing. One guy's like a former tight end and I was like what? Yeah, it's just so cool to see all these guys and their different backgrounds. Like the pit guys and the garage guys are obviously the most Unsung heroes in NASCAR the driver gets all the attention, the crew chief gets all the attention, the owner gets all the attention, but without a solid team backing you up, you got nothing. Yeah, the lot of the pit crew guys, like you said, tight end like these guys are Former athletes, not former, still athlete.
Speaker 1:Well, they're still athletes. My men, like former is in, like they played college football somewhere, or yet the one schools. This isn't just, it's not the 80s, where you got chocolate, myers, like you're a really big guy, can you pick up that gas? Can't you put gas in this car? Okay, what else you need me to do? No, that's it.
Speaker 2:It's such a team effort that, like, even the guys that drive the trucks to the track have different jobs. Oh yeah, team. Yeah, a lot of them are the cooks, by the way. Yes, that's a big thing driver slash cook, driver slash grill master. Very important, it's just. Nascar is such a cool sport that way.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you don't have that with other sports, where if you got the sixers going on a road trip or the fly let's say Philly's right now spring training, going down to Clearwater the guy driving the semi Taking their equipment down there, but he's not cooking for them, he's not doing anything special, he's I dropped it. I drive the truck, I drop stuff off, I leave. Yeah, he's like that old a plan of fitness commercial. I picked stuff up, I put stuff down.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's it, we're. Nascar is like all your hauler. Oh, you mean, we were just in.
Speaker 1:Atlanta on Sunday and the next Sunday you're in Vegas. So they go drive the Charlotte to pick up your car for the next race and all your gear and head out and they leave Wednesday, thursday, most likely Wednesday to get out there. Yeah.
Speaker 2:So again, you beat me. This week I beat you the 500. Where do we stand After two weeks?
Speaker 1:Harry is sitting at One win with 36 overall points. I have one win with 25 points. So the first race, harry had a 27 point advantage on me. But having a 27 point advantage but having a 16 point swing my way, huge help, huge. So this week, this weekend, we're going to Las Vegas Motor Speedway, my second home. I'm going to go with the number 43, eric Jones.
Speaker 2:Oh, good pick. I got two and they're teammates and I don't know which one. I Think I it's early. It's early man. Yeah, but I'm going. Bubble Wallace, I knew you're going Bubba in the 23. I don't know where he finished. I didn't look it up this this week. No, no need to.
Speaker 2:He's a Toyota in my own half. He's a Toyota. He's a Toyota mile a half. Jordan loves Vegas. I think that's definitely gonna Up the ante a lot. It's no secret, jordan loves Vegas. Yeah, yeah, I definitely see. I see Bubba winning one or two this year and I think Vegas for sure, at a mile and a half in a Toyota Mm-hmm, and I also think Bubba needs to win soon.
Speaker 1:Bubba does need to win soon and I regret my decision already you are. I am Because I wanted to save this driver for a different track.
Speaker 2:The who you just picked. Mm-hmm, I'll let you change it. I'll let you change it. No, no, you want to lock it in. Eric Jones is locked in 43 car. Yeah, because every time I Last season for NASCAR, every time I let you have something does come with some strings and they've come back and bit you every time. So it's pretty smart call by you. Uh, very smart. So again, eric Jones, bubble Wallace for those playing at home, you know who to wrote uh, root for. I hope Bubba has a cool paint scheme in Vegas. I will say that Bubba does the. The 23 car does get some pretty fire Rap jobs they do.
Speaker 1:I like it a lot, the the 23 car always looks fire especially now. It looks so good. Yeah, I've seen some paint schemes already Leaked out for this week and, of course, you picked Brad last week. This week, the number six has gold chrome vinyl. That gold chrome.
Speaker 2:I do like the chrome. It's come, it's become very popular.
Speaker 1:My favorite paint scheme of Dale jr Is of all time is His 2014 day two and five hundred champion national guard car was Rick hendrick the 88. He had that bronze chrome 88 Mmm. Oh man, it's so beautiful. I like gold. Chrome, gold. Chrome looks really good. No, this looks really good. Is there a golden truss this week, harry? I know it's a little. We're getting in this episode hot, fast, heavy. I'm gonna go. My first one. This one goes out to christian bale. I'm that man.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, that christian bale, the fighter, dick chandy movie batman, but not for his acting, it's for his humanitarian work. Christian bale is breaking ground on a social center that will keep foster siblings together. This has been a project of his for the last 12 to 16 years In california those that entered the foster system. I've worked with some people that are foster parents. I've worked with some people that were foster children and you hear the struggle and the pain to keep siblings together. So christian bale is making a mission of his to build houses That'll keep siblings together. I don't know if you watch the movie with mark mark wallberg instant family. Um, I've seen it a couple times now. Good movie, right, it's about a foster family based on a true story. Three, three kids, and they're like oh, do you want to take all three? Yeah, they're siblings, let's bring them all in. So that's what christian bale's doing he's trying to make sure there's no question about it again. I love to see. It makes me happy.
Speaker 2:It makes me happy. You know what else makes me happy every day? Heroes Like steve white house and kevin marriott, who worked for circo garbage collection in tipped in england, so to To trash guys yeah, garbage men. They rescued a man, woman and a dog from a house fire in tipped in england, so the they rented, they saved them. White house climbed up to the first floor balcony Three times to rescue the trio from flames. Oh, he first carried the woman down but then turned back to help the young man and then he found a shouting dog and went inside. Then after that, because this was a town home, they went door to door shouting people to get out of the connecting town homes.
Speaker 2:Holy smokes, no pun intended just every day, people Doing golden trout things. That's what we love to see man, we gotta get them.
Speaker 1:We're gonna reach out. See, they won't be on the show. That was the type of people we need to be talking to.
Speaker 2:Without question. I wonder where tipped in is. I don't know the geography of Britain that well Actually, fun fact, we have a listener, so I. It's funny. So let's like, golden trouts are good news and they make you smile, so let's keep you making you smile. I can see where people listen from. If you I've said it before and don't think we're creepy, but if you share your location with however you listen to our platform, I can see that Little behind the scenes for you there's a place called tooting yes, in england. Oh it is. And that one made me chuckle, oh yeah. So I'm not gonna go into to far jokes. I think we don't need to do that.
Speaker 2:We're in our 30s, we still have far jokes, so we're okay but yeah, I was like oh, you know what that is going on, the Personal hall of fame of locations? Yeah, that. And estonia, whoever you are, I see you checking in every episode and I just want to say hello, reach out to us if you can hear this, estonia, let us know.
Speaker 2:Find us on social media, please. We're here for you. I want to know who you are at this point. It's been 50. This will be 56 episodes and I they're gonna tune in, and yet I have no. I've searched our social media for estonia. Nothing comes up. I want to know.
Speaker 1:Interesting fact, harry. So Sabrina and I have been our guilty pleasure. Let's watch something at night, whatever, we're gonna sit here and play on our phones, anyway. So put something on. We watched amazing race. I think we started one sale. We've been dabbling back and forth, just picking. I think we went to season 10 let's go from here and season 14 or 15. They went to estonia and I sat there the whole time going.
Speaker 2:Estonia Are a student listener.
Speaker 1:I have no idea what else goes on in Estonia. Somebody listen to us.
Speaker 2:It's so crazy because we we do get new countries all the time, and that's on me hyping us up. We genuinely do. Yeah, it's really exciting. It's one of the things I did not think would happen. I knew we would have our hot spots, obviously, delco's big, louisiana's big, vegas, california's big. Like those areas, I expect it, yeah. But estonia, australia, brazil, colombia, italy these are the places that just blow my mind. What else blows my mind? What's that? The results for our favorite captain's bracket for this week. Paul, let's go over it.
Speaker 1:All right, favorite captain bracket. We are in the last four matchups of the first round. Right, we had 32 teams. We're trickling it down to 16 after this episode. Let's go with the biggest blowout going to the smallest. How's that sound? From the Gouda region? We have Captain Kangaroo going against Mr Keating. On our bracket it says Broadway's. We realize Mr Keating, who went to be referred to as oh Captain, my captain, dead poet society. Biggest win, biggest margin of victory here 83, 17. Robin Williams, as Mr Keating is taking that one.
Speaker 2:Here's where I have to fault you. Okay, I feel like maybe Robin won because it said Robin Williams yeah, I need to change that. I don't think we need to rerun it or anything like that, but I have a feeling he would have won Absolutely. Who would have beaten Captain Kangaroo? Captain Kangaroo was so centralized to the Philadelphia area that he didn't really stand a chance. No, captain Kangaroo is more global.
Speaker 1:You're thinking Captain Noah, I'm thinking Captain Noah. Yeah, captain Kangaroo was the whole country wide.
Speaker 1:It was before my time, so way before our time, but I still think Robin Williams would have beat out. If you look at the demographic of our show. I will be changing though it to Mr Keating O, captain, my captain on our bracket, hopefully, man, make it fair, because next time we're going to see Mr Keating will be going against Captain America. Oh so we have a battle royale Now. Our next matchup next. Let's go next close. Keep it simple, keep it safe. Coming from the Bree, the French region, we have Paley soccer phenomenon, captain Brazil, greatest soccer player of all time, going against the most nominated captain on our bracket, captain Morgan. Surprisingly, paley got votes because, with the results of 80 to 20, captain Morgan hands down a little spicy Coke is heading on.
Speaker 2:Like I said, I try not to pay attention to the brackets. So on the show I can give you my genuine response. But it was up for two or three days and it just naturally came across my feed and even after posting it, two or three days later, paley had one vote.
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah, paley was up there with just one vote. I think a lot of them were sympathy votes. I wish there was a way we could hide results until you vote, because then it'd be like, oh man, who's some people? I think we'd have more blowouts.
Speaker 2:Oh, without question. Yeah, I definitely feel like there's some people that are just like oh man, maybe I will vote for. You know what I mean? I feel bad for Paley.
Speaker 1:Did you know, in England, like Captain Morgan and Spice Rum, they call it spicy. So they go to the bar and be like hey, give me a Captain Morgan and Coke, hey, give me a spicy Coke, give me a spicy Coke.
Speaker 2:Why is it not a thing here? I don't know. Well, it's just like the Australians call breakfast brekkie. Yeah, I love it. I've used that with Ange Ever since I found out Brekkie and Sonny's for sunglasses, although I cannot get behind the Akadaka for ACDC.
Speaker 1:Sorry, not, sorry, not get behind that one they say Akadaka, Akadaka, Akadaka. I'm still listen. The guys at Hello Wisconsin, that's 70 show podcast. Do you guys really call it Akadaka? Because, we didn't know. We've heard it multiple times. Now I know they say Brekkie and Sonny's. We've watched Bluey right and I listened to Hello Wisconsin podcast. I support other artists out there. Mickey's instead of McDonald's is Mickey's. I think Maccas, I could say razor blades in Australian pretty well, rise up lights.
Speaker 2:Have you been working on that?
Speaker 1:No, If you say rise up lights.
Speaker 2:Rise up lights. Oh, okay yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I taught you some Australian. I know Outback Steakhouse and Foster's because it's Australian for beer.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's a page on YouTube called how Ridiculous and they just do crazy fun things, like they have a 45 meter tower and they just drop things.
Speaker 1:Oh wow, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2:Yeah, how ridiculous. I'm not even kidding. And I picked up that's where I got the Sonny's from because they came out with their own sunglasses and they're like check out our Sonny's. And I was like from the tower.
Speaker 1:They got the T-Rex little stuff or little toy. His name is Rexy, sir. Okay, okay, just make sure. Okay, we should go on the same page. What if Rexy gets with the Hello Wisconsin guys? Do you think they'll give us a shout out? They have to, right, if you love that 70's show, like we did, go listen to Hello Wisconsin. I don't plug many. I do not plug other shows. They support us, we support them. The guys are hilarious. Anyway, moving on to the next matchup, we got here, harry, from the bottom right hand corner. What corner this is? This is the cheese curd region, bottom right hand corner, right where we keep our cheese curd on cargo shorts. We have Han Solo going against. I am the captain now.
Speaker 1:I don't know if it's a meme or a saying like really the meme made it of the pirate going. I am the captain now. We had some people mentioned that if Han Solo doesn't win, they're going to boycott our show. We had zero influence. I don't vote anymore. But 77 to 23, han Solo took this one, which is pretty good, because next time we see Han Solo in the next round he'll be going against captain, obvious. Oh man, so that's going to be whoo Harry, once we get to round 16, you're no longer just fighting chumps.
Speaker 2:You're fighting real people here. It's like the tournament is now starting at round 16.
Speaker 1:We got Han Solo, who's a TV character or a movie character. Saved myself there A movie character going against a fictitious captain.
Speaker 1:So, I'm pretty pumped, but I'm just pumped. I am for this. One Going from the cheddar region right, because cheddar is better. We have captain Phillips, right where the meme came from. Who was the captain before the pirate took it from him? Captain Phillips, played by Tom Hanks, going against captain Ahab. Captain Ahab, as many of you may know, is coming from the Moby Dick book, white whale Harry. This is the tightest matchup of the week. Look, the polls are so good We'd let them run for two weeks. That's our excuse. While we skipped, we just want to see these polls go. Captain Ahab took this one 66 to 33%. Really, yeah, both captains.
Speaker 2:Wild right. I think it's like the only matchup where they have the same job and all that I know one's a. They're both fictional. Nope. Captain Phillips is real. Nope, nope, that was based on a true story.
Speaker 1:Yep, wow, they're both captains.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're real.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're real. They're both captains in a favorite captain bracket, so they got that going for them.
Speaker 2:Oh, yes, they have that. Oh, I just got a lightheaded. Oh my gosh. Yeah, that's what they have going.
Speaker 1:The next time we see captain Ahab, when he takes a break from finding Moby Dick with Tarsos in his pocket, he'll be going against one, the only captain, raymond.
Speaker 2:Holt 99?.
Speaker 1:So, moving on to sweet 16, harry, let's go over our matchups for next week, because this is going to be some punching. We got to get a video up. Some sit here shadow boxing, act like the sweet 16. They're going to really fight. Come from the Bree region, top left hand corner. We have captain Noah Philly, faithful children's TV show. Go against captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce 4077. Mash, good one, that's gonna be good one. Uh, some people in our family don't know who they're going to vote for. They're low on both. Coming from the Gouda region, because Gouda is good. We have captain hook. Go against captain Jack from the booze cruise episode of the office.
Speaker 2:Two boat captains, two captains on the best captain, favorite captain bracket.
Speaker 1:They both kid marry you at sea because they are boat captains. Speaking about boat cheddar is better. Top right hand corner. We have captain planted against captain. Can her one's here to save the planet? One is not on this planet.
Speaker 2:That one might be tighter than we realized.
Speaker 1:No, I think that one's going to be tight. I hope it is. Yeah, it feels a real flight captain plan. It wins without caution. Yeah, and coming from the bottom right hand corner, the cheese curd region, we have captain Ron Right, so Kurt Russell is a boat captain going against captain Jack Sparrow. Oh yeah, it's gonna be good, but that's it. I will be posting the brackets this weekend. Get your votes in, get them in early, get them fast. Share with your friends, share with your family. The more votes the better.
Speaker 2:The more votes, the more entertaining.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because sometimes if there's a tie, we got to debate it and we'll throw verbal jabs at each other for fun.
Speaker 2:Two very sad news came out of Philadelphia today. It is time for the Eels of the Week. In my ever-seeking knowledge of learning how to make a phenomenal podcast, I realize I need to have a more somber tone when I talk about sad news, and I will have a somber tone as I say this. It has come out today at Citizens Bank Park, home of the Philadelphia Phillies Dollar Dog Night is no more. We just talked about Dollar Dog Night, we did. We were just talking about Dollar Dog Night and come to find out it does not exist. What will be put in its place is buy one, get one free hot dogs. But the Dollar Dog Night is dead. Bogo Night is not the same. It is not the same. And here's who I blame. Do I blame the Phillies organization? No, do I blame our Mark, who runs a concession stands in Philadelphia? I do not. Do I blame inflation? No, although that probably has something to do with it.
Speaker 1:They may have something to do with it.
Speaker 2:What I and who I blame when hot dogs are being thrown from the upper level. Philadelphia fans, we have this reputation. You decided to show the country, our reputation, and for that we were punished with a loss of Dollar Dog Night. I am hurt, I am disgusted, I am angry. It is my eel of the baseball season. No more Dollar Dog Nights. I said good day, listen folks, I said good day.
Speaker 1:As global as we are. There needs to be more outrage from all of our listeners for Dollar Dog Night at Citizen Bank Park going away.
Speaker 2:It was just one of those things, man. That was nice. Everyone looked forward to it. People ruined it. People ruined it Again. It's inflation. Again, it's everyone wanting to make a dollar. That's the real reason I get it. But the fans throwing hot dogs did not help the cause whatsoever. Really did not help. But that's all I got. Man. I'm going to lighten my mood back up. I'm going to think about rainbows and puppies and they're on over to you.
Speaker 1:I got one eel, harry, and this one here really makes me mad. So it became news recently that Dale Jr's contract with NBC NASCAR driver owner was coming up. Dale Jr was not re-signed to NBC to commentate NASCAR this year.
Speaker 1:My eel was about to ever fumble that bag. Dale Jr's might be one of the biggest faces, biggest names, second all-time most popular driver, only behind Bill Elliot Very popular. You still go to the track to this day people wearing Dale Jr gear. He owns one of the top two top three Xfinity teams. Anything when NASCAR goes through him. He's got his podcast. He was executive producer for the NASCAR documentary on Netflix. If it has to do with NASCAR has to do with NASCAR history. Dale Jr is the man. He is engulfed in history. He loves the history. You need him around and for NBC to not re-sign him. The dude covered the Olympics two years ago. Four years ago, another Olympic year, but he signed a deal with Amazon, which he's still going to be in the game but, like NBC is the main broadcaster Second half of the NASCAR season. So not to have Jr, it's pitiful.
Speaker 2:It is an ill that NBC lost Dale Jr, but at the same time you got to give props to Amazon for getting Dale Jr.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but because NBC just fumbled and they're like they didn't sign him.
Speaker 2:I don't know how that's a shame that makes as much sense as an octopus's garden.
Speaker 1:It makes zero sense to me.
Speaker 2:One of the things that I really love about NASCAR is how accessible it is to everyone. You know what I mean. It's on basic bunny ears TV show yeah, digital antenna now, but you know what, anyone can watch it. That's what makes it so great.
Speaker 1:That's what I like about it let's all come together and enjoy something.
Speaker 2:And then you have one of the best historians of the entire sport and you let him walk NBC. Here's a giant eel for you. Enough of the sad, enough of the angry buddy, it is time for America's favorite segment. It is time for PWN Paul's weird news. Here is your host.
Speaker 1:Paul. Hey, buddy, how are you doing Very much out here on the streets with some PWN Boy? Do I have a doozy for you this week, harry? Let's start off Right. 2024 Olympics is coming up, because it's 2024. That's a leap year, summer Olympic year. This year is held in. I don't know if you heard this place called Paris, texas. Oh, france, yeah, that makes sense. You've been to Paris, texas? No, I thought right in there. We had French toast in Paris, texas, a couple years ago. It's pretty dope actually. Yeah, it was pretty cool. A little diner. They have a mock Eiffel Tower with a cowboy hat on top.
Speaker 2:Oh, I dig that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was actually pretty fun. She said, dad, I want to go to Paris. So we ran into the airport, so we made a detour to Paris, but anyway. So the Paris Olympics this year there will be handing out medals. Right, you hand out medals at the Olympics for second and third bronze, silver, gold, like gold and trouts, and then eels are just below bronze. This year the medals are going to be embedded with pieces of the Eiffel Tower. So when I first started reading this article, harry, I said that's weird. Are they not showing out circles out of the Eiffel Tower? And at what point do I get worried? Because for a temporary structure for the World Fair that became an icon for the city side note, true story it was not supposed to be permanent. So now they have pieces of metal right Chunks of the Eiffel Tower. So when you win, like shot but boom, eiffel Tower, well, put away some time to smack people in the face, but then it turns out it's just embedded in it. So it's not a whole lot. I was expecting like big chunks.
Speaker 2:Nope, it's not, it's just they're handing them like six foot beams.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's got a polished chunk right. You know, reading about it, it's just a polished chunk of iron taken from the landmark, so it'll be embedded inside, right? So what they're doing is saying the French are being cheap when they're making these metals and they're coating iron and gold, silver and bronze. I was just thinking that those cheap schmuck you know what. They can't even invent french fries, because you know when french fries are invented, right, they were made first right Greece.
Speaker 2:Where's it from?
Speaker 1:I don't know, but you cook fries in Greece. It's just weird to me, right? Because the French are being cheap. Look, we have some listeners in France. Come at me, bro, call me up. You guys can make good toast. Actually, you guys do make really good toast. Fresh baguette, fresh baguette. Yeah a little french toast.
Speaker 2:If the movie Ratatouille taught me anything, is that good bread has a great sound.
Speaker 1:Cool, a little bit of crunch, okay. Okay, harry, let's move from France to North Carolina in the United States of America, where we have some of the wildest news Female stingray hanging on a habitat by herself, right? Hey, my ancestors killed Steve Irwin. You're like great, Get away from me, stingray. If I could punch the thing, I would the one that stabs Steve Irwin. She's by herself and they're like oh, hang on a second. You got a little growth there, you're all right. They're like are we feeding too much? Does she have an internal growth? What is going on here? So they didn't actually realize she's pregnant? Hey, congratulations, high five. Who's the father? Let's have a baby shower for a stingray, right? Do they do gender reveals? We don't know.
Speaker 2:Because the last thing Steve would want is us to punch stingrays. He wants us to continue to support and love animals. So let's throw a baby shower.
Speaker 1:So Steve Irwin's on it. We're going to throw this stingray baby shower, but then you look at him and there's no males here. There's no boys, there's a shark in your tank. Are you telling me we have a crossover of a shark and a stingray? Because that's some super villain stuff and I'm all in, sign me up. Would you call it a shark ray? Or a stink shark who I like? Or a Stark Dark Star? Uh, tampa. Turns out she became asexual and just made babies of her own, which they say can happen. So they're all going to be females. So, spoiler alert, gender reveal everything's going to be pink by our all baby pink girl baby clothes. But that's just wild, right, she's sitting there by herself and they're like debating oh man, like what is going to happen if it is a shark?
Speaker 2:Turns out it wasn't shark it is the first known case for stingrays, which is why the first time it's ever been known. It just goes to tell you what we do not know. Oh, there's a lot we don't know in this world.
Speaker 1:You don't know what you don't know. No, what makes peanut butter taste so good? I don't know Like can sting. What else can make their own babies in the ocean?
Speaker 2:Is that why I have a big belly? Did I make my own baby? You did. I'm going to be a proud papa.
Speaker 1:But like what other creature is the megalodon still out there, and it is like she been pregnant for a while, getting ready to have birth to another one.
Speaker 2:I say it every time it comes up. The deep ocean terrifies me. So yeah, there's probably still megalodon out there.
Speaker 1:No, I 100% believe there's megalodon out there, and that's not even experienced theory. That is the truth.
Speaker 2:And what was it? 18, 25 foot shark just up and disappeared. Yep, it was being dragged and stayed at one consistent temperature for a week, yep, nah come on, dude, but yet plunged down deeper into the ocean.
Speaker 1:Ocean freaks me out. I'm going from the oceans to go to land creatures. Harry, let's go to the US border, where this headline here got me caught at the border with Python in his pants, new York City man is behind and sends to probation. This is not Sir Mixalot. This is Calvin Bautista, 38 years old, crossing his northern New York from Canada with hidden snakes in his pants. Coming from Montreal where the Canadians play Hoggy team, not people Going to New York. He had young adult pythons in bags, hidden in his pants and his inner thighs. That's a no for me. Dog, I don't care what you're trying to offer me. I don't first off people. I keep pet snakes as pets wild.
Speaker 2:Yeah, definitely wild man.
Speaker 1:But the fact that you got to hide them and test your pant legs like you see in the mafia movies where they're hiding money. He's got snakes in there. What are you thinking? What if one of them gets out, like you're sitting on the bus and like it comes out at the bottom of your feet? And then I get some old days screaming and Top of her lungs talking about a snake and you ever sit there and play dumb like I don't know where it came from. That's not mine, right, this one was worse than the video I saw the other day. I've got a fast food restaurant saying at the counter waiting for his food, he puts his hand in his pocket and his gun goes off when he shoots the floor and they turn around the way you're using. Oh man, the guy just left. The guy just got his food and walked out. He shot a gun right there at the counter at the floor and played it off. But this guy has pythons in his pants.
Speaker 2:No, thank you.
Speaker 1:Burmese pythons, harry, burmese, where I'm from, burmese means big right, they're the big ones. Big snake, big snake. The big snake snakes are worth 2,500 bucks. Oh, not happening. That's it for PWN this week, harry, back to you. Studio T I.

This thing small, it is a part of the Green Anaconda family but it is its own species and you refer the measurements, sure? It is only 25 feet in length and About 1100 pounds.
