#57 - SWEET CHILD OF MINE
Harry and I can't help but reminisce about the sweet victory of snagging a box of Thin Mints during Girl Scout cookie season, and we're bringing that same energy to the 57th episode of Trout Stream. We tip our hats to the sports legends bearing the number 57, wax nostalgic about 'Space Jam', and even share a laugh over an F-15 jet named 'Sweet Child of Mine'. Tune in for a blend of sports history, personal anecdotes, and the irresistible charm of cookie commerce that's bound to leave you hungry for more.
This week's adventure into the world of sports takes a turn through draft picks and the unpredictable paths of athletes' careers. Ever hear about a NASCAR number that's yet to see victory? We've got that quirky fact, along with tales of NFL draft triumphs and tribulations – yes, even our beloved Devin Hester gets a mention. Join us as we explore the twists and turns of sporting fate, from the gridiron to the racetrack, and discover the unexpected connections that tie it all together.
But it's not all about the rush of the game. Sometimes, it's the small interactions off the field that leave the biggest impact. We recount a stellar customer service experience with Traveler Collective that turned into a potential collaboration, and share a bit of whimsy with bizarre state laws – mustachioed men, watch out! We're here to remind you that whether it's thanks to a key ring from Kinzer's, Pennsylvania, or just a good word-of-mouth recommendation, community is everything. So grab your headphones and join us by the stream for an episode that celebrates the power of connection and the stories that bind us.

Hello friends and welcome back to another episode of the Trout Stream. I am Harry Traumann and with me, as always, is my co-host, I am Paul Traumann. So pick up a poll, cast a line and join us on the stream. Today, on episode 57, we will discuss our favorite athletes to wear 57, hand out our golden trouts and eels of the week, continue our favorite captain's bracket and, of course, much more. Paul, welcome back to the Trout Stream, episode 57. Man 57, 57 episodes.
Speaker 1:I was talking to someone and they say you always say welcome back to episode whatever, but it's the first time you're at the episode, so it's not welcome back. But we are welcoming you back to the Trout Stream. We're always going to welcome you back to the Trout Stream. Always we say welcome back and just look, you get go to work every day. Right, you open the door, I'm looking like welcome back. You know what else we're welcoming back? It is the season.
Speaker 1:I'm not talking spring, I'm talking Girl Scout cookies. Oh yeah, I struggle with Girl Scouts. They beat me up when I was no, I'm just kidding. I can't say no, you can't say no, I can't. And then if I'm going to buy one box, I might as well buy two boxes and then it's just easier to give them a $20 bill and not deal with change. So I get four boxes. You're like, ah, keep the change. If you like, have a McAllister. Yeah, I don't want them to keep the change, I just take my money, Just take it all.
Speaker 1:The problem is that it's a good cause. They're delicious. There's no downside Except for the fact that they're cookies, right, and then there's probably instead I don't think they use flour or they use crack. Yeah, they are very addictive. What you can only choose two, I'll leave it to two for you. Got it? What's your? You going Tag alongs attendments? Ooh, I'd have to say, where are the peanut butter patties, like the peanut butter cookie ones? Yeah, yeah, I forget the name of them. Yeah, they all have weird names and then mention them. I'm a thin man's guy.
Speaker 1:But you know what I've really enjoyed this year? The Lemon AIDS, oh, yeah, the big ones. Shortbread with a little lemon icing on the bottom Can't go wrong. They're refreshing. Lemon cake, lemon bars I love lemon bars, right, so I get intrigued by, like, the lemony ones. Reminds me of Tasmanian devil lemony fridge. They're so good. Base, jam, base, jam.
Speaker 1:Well, 1996 throwback there for you that one that came out in 96. I think it was 96. The graphics look so great? Yeah, because it's all real life. It was a true story.
Speaker 1:Where are the Girl Scouts positioned at, strategically around you Walmart and Girl Scouts were exits, the exits, yeah, mine's Lowe's and being a homeowner, I'm constantly at Lowe's. And then you walk in and as soon as you get there it's just like what about Girl Scouts? I'm not going to say no. And now they all take Venmo or credit cards. Right, you can't say, oh, I'm sorry, I don't have any cash. They threw you that square cube Bet you'd be like oh, they got Venmo, they got smart quick with that dude. Yeah, I haven't gotten paid yet. Sir is the first. Everybody has money on the first of the month. Thanks, bone thugs. They know what they're doing, dude, they do, they really do. The numbers are probably out there, but I want to know what they make a year. Do you want to know what they make? I don't want to know what they make a year.
Speaker 1:The other thing we do I always laugh at, like the, you know the military dads are out there right now supporting their kids, and for years I've been in different shops where somebody just slaps up the pre-order thing on the wall. It was filled out. So you're like, man, I don't really want. And then you get, oh, hey, man, can you help me with this assignment? We got like, oh, never had many Girl Scouts cookies you can buy. Oh, man, I'm trying to watch my figure get off my cloud here and let me live, but I don't have a heart of stone. I'm always going to say yes, and the wife she does get, she does get frustrated with me because she knows I'm going to say yes, yeah, and she doesn't want the cookies and we probably already have a box at home. So at Lowe's we walk in, left her the carts and I'll be like, hey, grab a cart. And I just run up and start talking and then once I'm there, she's not going to pull me away. You know what I mean. Right Now I'm very strategic with it.
Speaker 1:My Walmart. There's a two. There's an entrance and an exit on each side of the building. It's a super Walmart, so they only set up at one. So if I need to avoid them I go to the other one, because whenever I go to the store and I see them, there's like I'm having my 19th nervous breakdown, like why I don't want to buy them.
Speaker 1:No, because, as the tears go by, it's come on, guys, leave me alone. I have a family. Why they need vegetables. We don't need cookies, at least for me. I'm like, hey, do you have egg in those cookies? Boom done, can't have them in my house. Oh see, that's smart, but I think most of them are egg free anyway. So you have not say will be, or, knowing the Girl Scouts, they'll make me some special ones.
Speaker 1:In the corner. We whipped these up for you, please. I'm one of my Girl Scouts, man. Thanks, thanks, jamie. There you, jamie. Jamie's just my go to for a little kid. Thanks, jamie, I go to Steve, but I have a friend, steve, so it gets weird. Sometimes it does. I can see that. Not as weird as what happened in Vegas.
Speaker 1:I had Bubba Wallace. Who did you have? I had Eric Jones. Yeah, dude, I had Eric. I had Eric. I had Eric Jones. Yeah, dude, I was great.
Speaker 1:And then we had a mishap on we, they had a mishap on Pit Road and then started going laps down and then the way Kyle Larson was running Once you went laps down, it was game set match for the day. Yeah, so you obviously won. I was just in the lead lap. I beat you. That is the second week in a row that you beat me.
Speaker 1:Actually, I was going to text you with 10 to go because I think you were double digit laps down. Yeah, I was waiting for the exact moment to where. Okay, if my guy were to wreck right now and go out, I would still complete more laps than you. I was like, nah, I'm not going to put salt in the wound. Yeah, it was one of those. Once I saw him go three laps down, I was like I'm just going to watch the race. We'll talk about the race later.
Speaker 1:Again, you beat me. You get to go first. But guess what, it doesn't matter, I don't have a 57. So jokes on you. What is a good pick for this one? I got three. I got four. I'm the fourth one. Last one's going to be a doozy. It's not even on the show sheet. I got two pictures. One football player let's go.
Speaker 1:Baseball, as a pitcher, is where they play. Number 57. Play for Minnesota Twins for a while. Move to the New York Mets. Sayonward winner, two timer, johann Santana.
Speaker 1:I really liked Johann in the early mid 2000s. He lasted a while and if you ever watch him and he wouldn't pitch more than seven innings, I think, pre-off serve break, no matter what's going on, right Having a great game, by the seventh inning he's out. Really, I was wondering why he pulled him in the seventh inning. Because at the end of the year he had the juice, he had the drive, he had to go, he was saving himself for the long run. Smart. I definitely feel like that's the.
Speaker 1:The Phillies definitely showed it, but that's where baseball's headed. Yeah, era is out the window. Win loss is out the window. No one cares about that stuff anymore. It's all about what can you do for us in certain situations, what can you do to help us? And then my other one, another pitcher, francisco Rodriguez. Closer right, he's one close of the year, relief man of the year award and 2008,. He set the record for 62 saves in a regular season. Do was lights out that year and Brad Ledge went 48 for 48 because the Phillies won the World Series. The dude had 62 saves. That's no joke. That is no joke.
Speaker 1:Move from major league baseball to the NFL. Little linebacker will defend a player by the name of Bill Cower. Play for the Philadelphia Eagles as number 57. Yes, that Bill Cower, the Hall of Fame head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers On CBS, their morning football show. Every time it's on, angel always goes oh look, it's Coach Cower. I'm like you got to let that go. Yeah, you got to let that go, man, considering that Mike Tomlin replaced him and Mike Tomlin's going into year 15, maybe. But she could say something like I'm so happy that she, like she's getting into football. Yeah, which I got a surprise I don't know if I told you, but anyway, surprise later. Yeah, but she says it like he just retired, yeah. And I'm like, hey, you really got to Mike Tomlin's great dude, you should probably get excited for him. He's the only coach. That coach has many years and I have a losing record. Yeah, he's ever Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1:And Harry, my last 57 short 57 to the greatest aircraft to ever live here craft 257. Those jet I crewed in Ellis for almost six years. That was my baby, that was mine. I already have our art, I already have our picture for social media. This week I've already showed it to you. Like I was, like you said that, like last week I did four I was. I'm really pumped for this episode. That was my baby, that was my pride and joy. It wasn't the best flyer but, man, it was pretty. Yeah, I took care of that thing. It broke for a lot of stuff. I put a lot of work into that jet to get it where it was and then just to get assignment out of there and go to Korea. Is it still active? It's still active. Yeah, it was still at Nellis right now.
Speaker 1:What's funny is years later when I was in California I had chief. He also worked at 15s, right 257 and 15 model, he was said. When he was in Lake and Heath he was yeah, I was number one on a jet 257. I was like we got talking, you mean 90? 257. Yeah, I said, no, sir, that's my jet. It came from England and went to Nellis, so pretty much like when he was done crewing it, I took over. Oh, we never met each other, so small world. Well, yeah, 257. I named that jet sweet child of mine. Oh, that's a great name. Yeah, because I don't care that your name was on the side of that. Yeah, my name was on the side of that one.
Speaker 1:I remember going to Nellis and see it and thinking that was like the coolest thing ever. Yeah, still pretty awesome. I got a few pictures of it left. You're going to see it before you retire? I wouldn't really try to, you should. Yeah, it'd be my dream at my retirement ceremony. Habit there, just like in the bay in the background. Just say what's up, man? Oh, don't worry about that little guy back there. But that's it, man. It's almost 57s I got.
Speaker 1:I move on to number 57 overall draft pick. Three different leagues. So with the NFL 2006 Hall of Famer, maybe it's snug by 56 other teams Kick return with Charle Bears, devin Hester oh, that's a. That was a good pickup by them. And then let's go with a good pickup and then we'll go with a terrible number. 57 overall draft pick. I don't care if he's listening or not.
Speaker 1:Jj Arcega, white Side Trash. So much hope. J-jull. The hope and aspiration and dreams were there. The support was there too. Support was great.
Speaker 1:He had one touchdown and it was a fumble recovery. Was it Erts? Somebody phoned it like they're running. They phoned it like on the two, they're bouncing the end zone and he fell on it. That's his touchdown. Yeah, didn't he? What got sent to Miami? I don't know. I just I'll keep them track.
Speaker 1:Like once he left the Eagles, I celebrate. I think I popped open one of these Miller lights over here and was like sweet, see you later. Bye, yeah, I know they try to convert them to what tight end per year. That didn't work. Nothing worked, nothing worked. See you later, dude. He converted him to the couch and said see you later. Yeah, we'll trade you for a 18th round pick.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you got Washington dryer Because we need them. Our Gatorade buckets leaking you. You got another one. Yeah, two of them. Oh, where's his water bottle squirting skill? Oh, start that whole thing over. How was? How's your water boy? How quick can he get water to my guys on the field? Can he run faster than JJ? Just curious like Does he do any cool tricks with the bottles, like behind the bag, toss up, does he? He's like it makes it all just at the bar. Everybody's in there going. I didn't even move my mouth. I'm thirsty anymore. Yes, I want him. Or do you have the guy that trips over his own shoelaces? Still, I'll take him.
Speaker 1:Move from the NFL to Major League Baseball. 2002 pitcher. Red Sox John Lester Lights out. John Lester, that's how young award Moses is off top of my head. I had to look. I got to look up who was drafted. I remember every draft pick Right. Most of their accolades I can remember. But John Lester was a great pitcher. I remember I wanted him so bad on the fills.
Speaker 1:Let's move from there to 1999. Harry, there used to be a team in Canada called Montreal Expos. In 1999, they drafted a guy named Brandon Phillips, second baseman. He moved over to the Cincinnati Resins where he got his. He blew up from there. Big guy, big name, good second baseman, not the best, he's top 10 in his career in the league. I can't name more than three second basemen Dustin Petroia, chase Elliott, brandon Phillips.
Speaker 1:During that time, let's move from Major League Baseball. Let's go from the diamond to the court. Harry, rectangular court ball shoot into a hoop called the NBA 1999. We're worrying about Y2K coming up in, my computer going to crash. Is the world going to end, right? We don't know. Spoiler alert. We survived.
Speaker 1:Santone Spurs. We want somebody to play on our team that could probably help us win some championships. What about this guy named Manu Genobli? I'm 57. What role draft pick, harry? I don't know who else was drafted, but I know 56 other teams are like hey, we really screwed that up. We let the Spurs get him. Yeah, it was what him?
Speaker 1:Tim Duncan, tracy Parker, tony Parker. What did I say, tracy Parker? I said Tracy Parker. Who is Tracy Parker? I don't know, but it's definitely Tony Parker. Are you Googling it? Yeah, by the way, I love editing so you could look this up. Absolutely no one. One of the things. That's what physical evidence was found on Tracy's clothes that were found in the woods. Holy shit, oh my God, all right, the half clothed by the 16 year old Tracy Parker was found by a horseback rider, harris man, convicted of a chipped child exploitation. Jesus, tracy Parker is not a good name. Yes, sir, we're at a break.
Speaker 1:I got to call Andrew real quick. Who? Okay, I forgot to call her before I was starting it. All right, I'm going to add some stuff to our show sheet. You're in the group chat. She's like In our group chat with Katie and Steve. She's you doing podcast. Did you try to call me? I don't have a miss call. I fell asleep Like baby.
Speaker 1:Before you say something that probably don't want our friends to hear, let me call it real quick. I mean, oh, you didn't call me and no, I clearly forgot. Yeah, I was busy. I Don't want to call you from the bathroom when I say give me the 10 minute. That was actually for me to call her Right, but I was shitting, yeah, and then it was seven minutes later and I was like I gotta go and I don't look, forgot about everything. What's the last thing we said? Tony Parker, tony Parker, you have any more draft picks? No, he's my last draft picks. I Got a fun little fact about the NASCAR number 57.
Speaker 1:Oh, I like fun facts. Let me hear it's had plenty of drivers Never won a race. So that's been in a lot of races. 57 is a good number, it sounds a good number. It's never won a race in NASCAR, so that's why I'm gonna talk about that. But we are gonna talk about a quick summary of Vegas.
Speaker 1:Listen, kyle Larson was on a rail, meaning no one can stop him. It's awesome when that happens when someone's so dominant, but it makes for kind of a boring race. This is what fans were talking about. They wanted the old dominant races. You're not gonna get Jeff bow down lapping entire field again. No, because you're not gonna tune in. Dominate races are three second lead. Yeah, kyle had get that's gonna be dominant, moving forward. We are headed to drumroll, please. Phoenix has two races a year. They get the spring race and then they get the championship race. Let's boo that one, folks boo.
Speaker 1:Not a fan of Phoenix. I don't know racing it in my game. I will, of course I will, yeah, but I'm not a fan. Very boring race to watch. Very Not a been full, I feel, a couple years last year before case Kane said it best in podcast interviews in there hasn't been a good race in Phoenix since 1989. Why is it still on the circuit? Because NASCAR owns it. Nascar owns it, so it will be. I'm supposed there isn't three races there, but yeah, I'm not. I you go first to speak on your pick. That's not.
Speaker 1:We're wrapping up quick on NASCAR this week again. Bubble Wallace, my driver, a pit mishap, let him down, he got lapped, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Phoenix, I'm not really looking forward to it. If I don't tune in this week, I'm not gonna be sad. I might watch the highlights, yeah, cuz I am trying to watch every races this year, or a lot more races than I did last year. But Phoenix, I Might give the wife the attention instead of Phoenix. Yeah, maybe you can do that, I guess. So I'm gonna go on a limb here.
Speaker 1:Hmm, chase briscoe number 14. Chase briscoe, wow, what's crazy. I was also thinking Stuart Haas racing. Okay, and I'm not saying that for the show, I genuinely was thinking Stuart Haas racing. So you got the for the 41 out there and I was leaning towards 41 action. But I don't know if that's where I can go. I will take, I'll take Harrison Burton, the 21 machine. Yep, I Like it. I like it a lot. That's just me burning a driver on a track I do not care about. If I'm being honest, yeah, I get it. It makes sense. I think chase briscoe is not a guy like I do not not fan of his mm-hmm. Him and Austin Cinderick not fans Austin Cinderick, the driver number two penskey car. He's a very punchable face. He does so does the chase briscoe. Oh, yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 1:After we finish up in Phoenix, arizona, all the way to Tacoma. But we're gonna head off to Bristol, tennessee. No dirt this year, right, no dirt this year. We are clean, clean, concrete. Both races, both races, no more dirt. Dirt was a good experiment, good little time, but we want to good Bristol races. Yes, bristol was not the track for it. Bristol was good in the start of a track, right, the starter track of a dirt race a year, but At the end of the day, I Don't like cup cars on dirt. I thought it was cool. I thought it was an experience that gambled.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm all for it if you modify the cars a little bit and change the tires up. Oh, even that you put them all in spring cars. That's what I'm saying. Like sprint, modify these cars, do some funky mods, but what they should do is because after Bristol they're going to code a circuit of the America down in Austin Texas Road course. They should make it like rally racing and some of the turns just be dirt in. So in, I'm gonna. I'll tweet Dale junior about that. I think that they need to separate themselves from like a straight asphalt and get away from the comparison of F1. Yeah, and I think some dirt will do the job. Also, why don't they do a Special weekend where they're in spring cars and they raise money for charity? They should. I think they should do stuff like that.
Speaker 1:Spring cars don't cost anything, not like a stock car. No, because there's two weeks off in the summer this year from the Olympics. It's the winner. I'm sorry we're summer. Olympics will be going on in the summer they're not racing. Yeah, so do. I don't really want to watch the Olympics. I'll keep metal counts, but I don't really want to watch much of anything. Do a charity event. There you go.
Speaker 1:We know we got thousands of listeners globally and a lot of them are NASCAR fans. Now, because of us and Taylor Swift, mainly us Tweet your congressman. But right, right, the president, ask her get a hold of Dale junior, get a hold of the Brett Griffin and Freddie Kraft, all those guys out there, bring it up. Get over Bob Wallace. He's open. Yeah, he's great at going laps down and just taking his time around the track and costing me a race, hey, it'll happen. Yeah, you know what I feel good about the Harrison Burton pick. Again, I don't have to win the race, I just have to beat you. We talked about it day 200, 500, those gold letters, let's keep it going. To those golden trouts, I have two, oh One's actually really cool. I don't know who to give it.
Speaker 1:To Go on off the coast of Nantucket, guess what was seen again for the first time in over 200 years Moby Dick, actually, you're not very far off. A gray whale. Get out of here. Thought to be extinct. One just showed up. Yes, sir, there she's up in a plane. She looks up and down the coast, obviously looking for things, and she spotted a gray whale, what thought to be extinct from the Atlantic from Overhunting.
Speaker 1:But yeah, now here's like where it's weird to me. I'm rubbing my eyes here cuz I just can't make it make sense. How do we misplace whales? I Was an asset, because my question is it's still here, obviously, obviously they saw the Nantucket.
Speaker 1:Where they go? Where did they go? Did a deep ocean that's come up to breathe, still a mammal Middle the ocean? That's what I'm saying. Where'd they go? The Arctic, when nobody's, except for penguins and polar bears, me talking about how much the ocean terrifies me? This is just as amazing as it is. It's also even more creepy because we missed, placed a whale. What if they went? There's an Atlantis, submerged, but up north, and there's air pockets somehow in caves. Hey man, listen, there's the reason. There's a reason why the pyramids in Egypt and the pyramids in Mexico all line up straight, perfectly, on a 23 degree angle of the tilt of the earth. If that was taken back to zero, they all line up perfectly. Trust me, it's all connected. It's all weird.
Speaker 1:But welcome back to the gray whales. We've missed you. Welcome back, buddy, the, the North Atlantic gray whale. I'm sorry we saw all you guys, but welcome back the N? A, g, w. Let's see the gray whale is back, especially in man Tuck it. Man Tuck, it. Sounds like a fantasy place, does Harry? Question Was how do you pronounce the capital of Kentucky? Do you say Louisville or lawville, lawville, louisville, I'm doing it wrong. It's Lexington. Anyway, let's take the movie. Go Kentucky. You're welcome. Where my guy school bus driver, larry Ferris Jr, louisville, kentucky.
Speaker 1:He's known around his community for going above and beyond. But now, harry, now he's touching the hearts of Strangers around the country, maybe around the world. So he had a student on his bus, levi, it's on the bus. One day he's in tears because schools. One day you'll find out, harry, schools have like spirit, weeks or days and stuff like that. My kids are under a rock, my kids are in daycare and I gotta look out for this right because it'll be like Doc. Actually, dr Seuss's birthday is coming up like next week after. So we're gonna do a cat and a hat stuff and you gotta have this day, you gotta have that day. Maybe St Patrick Day We'll all wear green and drink green beers together. We will, but one of his students.
Speaker 1:He didn't have pajamas for pajama day. Just, I don't have pajamas. He's crying on the bus. So the bus driver came to his attention. I he's like. Normally when I pull up he's standing there, he's waiting for me, a big smile. He's a kid. Kids, either you love your hate school bus driver? Yeah, yeah, we were. We had in between. Pretty sure, like you and I had the gap, but we still had same bus drivers. Me first grader upset that he doesn't have pajamas for pajama day. I Don't know what you wear to bed after that. So he's like I gotta fix that.
Speaker 1:He finished up his routes. He headed to the family dollar. Right, something quick, easy. He purchased two pairs of pajamas for Leva, not one. He could have made it one. He could have bought a kid, a pair of shirt, a shirt and pair of shorts. Nope, bought him pajamas, went to the school, said give these a levi. So that, right there, ladies and gentlemen, is my golden trout this week. One up, my second golden trout, my second golden trout. So it's gonna be tough to say yeah, we knew it was probably gonna happen. Still sucks.
Speaker 1:Jason Kelsey officially announces his retirement from the NFL. Yeah, I don't want to think about it. It's so sad, it really is. But, like he said, he's ready to be a family man. I think Shaq got to him. I think Shaq did. I really do, I think so. Shaq said to him man, listen, you got a family, you got everything ahead of you, your kids are young, you've had a great career. Don't keep playing until there's nothing left. Yeah, and then Shaq said I have this big old house and I come to him to an attempt. Yep, and I think that really got to Jason, because he does have two, three daughters. He has three daughters and yeah, I think that really got to him. And they're young too. They're babies. Yeah, yeah, I think they're five and younger.
Speaker 1:With that being said, he had a press conference to announce there was some interesting things that happened. He came out in what appeared to be very Jason Kelsey style not a suit, a shirt with the sleeves cut off, jogger pants and his thumbs and ankles were taped. Yeah, game day taped Kelsey for action, which might sound weird, but long time Eagles trainer Joe Pella had cancer last year and was unable to tape up Jason Kelsey for his final game. So Jason called him and he said hey, buddy, one last time, one last rodeo, you're giving the honor. Tape me up so I can retire this one. Sports is so much more than just two big guys in each other. They were together. I think it was what 10, 12 years, almost Jason's whole career, almost his whole career. This guy taped his ankles and he said one last rodeo, let's go, yeah.
Speaker 1:The other thing that's crazy is, while Joe was getting all his cancer treatment and stuff, jason would reach out to him tossingly, because it was more than just hey, you're my trainer, tape my ankles. It's hey, friend, here's my beach house. I know you've got cancer. Do you need a place to get away? There's keys in my beach house. That's a good guy right there. I really respect it.
Speaker 1:What really makes me mad, though, is I'm going to jump in on the fact that Jason Kelsey is stealing my fashion sense. Those that don't see, right, cause we're not on YouTube, we're not airing our show yet. Right Video quality. We're working on it. More often than not, I don't have sleeves on. I'm usually the one wearing cutoffs and I'm older than Jason Kelsey, so I've been doing a lot longer than him. I mean, I'm not going to fight him over it. But, yeah, you can not take Jason Kelsey, I'm sorry. No, I'm probably loose. If you gave me a year to train, maybe even then, dude, he has that old man strength now. I'm not saying I wouldn't fight him. You know what? Episode 62 will talk about it. I'm trying to get him on. I'm trying, yeah, I'm trying to get him here. I'm going to throw out my last golden trout here. I said I'll call him out. I said I'll give him a shout out here.
Speaker 1:My guy Darryl over there at Traveler Collective. So I'm looking for a gift for Sabrina for Valentine's Day. This is an ad. It's not an ad read, right, it's just. It's going off of customer service. Right, it's a key ring you can get, like the little metal tabs on there, for cities or places you've been. You get it for sports stadiums. As you said last episode, we're Traveler, I'm World Traveler, I've been around the world. We go on trips at least once, twice a year and you can customize it.
Speaker 1:So when we stayed in the sweet town of Kinzer's, pennsylvania, for your wedding, nobody on their website has it as a drop down option. No, I had to check my spelling three times. Yeah, it's a violation like 506. Yeah, it's not going to be on there. Hot Springs, arkansas, wasn't even a drop down menu and that's a known place. So the rule I gave myself was, if we sleep in that area, yeah, right, we've been to Houston for a short weekend when the Phillies played the estrus. We've been to you know town of Oklahoma, arkansas. We went to Dallas, arlington, that area, so I ordered it and then the company, darryl the founder, reaches out and he sends a generic email.
Speaker 1:Right, it's generic? Yeah, of course, because got it. Hey, man, you got anything, let us know. And I was like I replied back hey, man, I love the product, I think it was great. I told him that we have a show and we give him a shout out and then he replied back to saying, hey, send me the link to your show. So this is you, darryl, golden Trout Award. I will see what I can send you, but we really appreciate your product. We got to hang it up and I've got many more in my basket ready to go and my card for our trips this year. I would love to do an ad read for you guys, but it's just, it's a cool, simple product. I love it, man. That's it. Now we have something.
Speaker 1:Gotta give it a go in trouble, where do you keep your ring at? Right now it is on our key hook by our I'm not in our house by the door with all of our keys. We travel, we have plans of traveling boom, it's with us. That's so awesome. Yeah, so they were like we too full cause, right, we're going. We know we're going to Chicago this summer for Sabrina's work trip. So I've got that keyed up, queued up, ready to go and then whatever momentum we get, we can add to it as well.
Speaker 1:Like when we go to a regular field, obviously we're gonna have to get a regular field tag the way you travel. You're going to need multiple. Yeah, but we're only doing you go to a city once, boom. All right, I'm not going to give seven rings. I don't know why not. I love like seven Super Bowl rings. But yeah, I'm going to be honest. I don't know the last time I got like great customer service, like that. Yeah, cause I emailed back a lot of people. They want feedback. I'll give you feedback, right, I try to be honest person.
Speaker 1:But yeah, I wasn't expecting a reply, I was expecting it to be a generic hey, here you go my boom. I love the product. I was not expecting anything back, dude. You got to love when, when, people will still have a good core value, like they do. You don't see it, I really like it. Like I said, I cannot think of anyone who's gone out of their way. Oh, the Hershey company. But they didn't even go out of their way. They just sent me a $3 coupon.
Speaker 1:Yeah, remember the time you got a random flavor of gum, your pack of gum orbit I got. I bought a blue pack and there was a green pack in there and I called them and they thought I was crazy. And this is before. Like I had a cell phone or anything to take a picture and email it. But I'm like what it like? It was intentional, it had to be intentional. Yeah, there's no way that happened. It still bothers me to this day.
Speaker 1:Did they send you a bunch of coupons? They did send me a bunch of orbit coupons. Yes, yeah, I remember coming home and you're like hey, you like orbit's gum. Like, yeah, it's not bad. Like here, take some of these coupons. I can't, I'm not going to get this much gum. Yeah, I got it from the vending machine at dad's work and it was orbit white and it was the blue pack and it had a. They were white squares and then it had blue dots on it and one had green. I swear they did it on purpose to see if anyone would actually call in and report.
Speaker 1:I got a bag of Hershey kisses and three were completely unwrapped, like no wrapping whatsoever. So I reached out to Hershey. I was like, hey, this isn't me complaining, this is me giving you a heads up. Yeah, something could be going on. I'm very proud of Hershey. You know what I mean. It's a Pennsylvania staple. It's known all over the world. I was like this is a heads up, not complaining. I know these are automated machines. You do not check every kiss heads up. This is what's going on. Yeah, it's something, three dollar coupon, but it's dude. It's like it looks like a check. I'll send you a picture after the show. It has a check, dude. It has a hologram on it and a signature on it. It's a legit, looks like check paper. Just the way you're going on about. You sound like a midnight rambler over there just talking about your gums and your Hershey kisses. I'm telling you what are you going to get, cause like it has a bunch of listed stuff. I can get with it. Yeah, I was like nothing. It's a coupon. It's the most official looking coupon I've ever seen in my life. I'm down dude, but it's not as official as the final results for the best.
Speaker 1:Our favorite I'm sorry, our favorite captain's bracket, paul, let's hear it, you know what. Let's spend the night together. Let's go over this bracket right here. First matchups of the sweet 16 round. We're going for 16. We're going to truncate that down to eight. Harry, let's start off with the cheese curve bracket. Let's mix it up a little bit. Cheese curves, bottom right hand corner. That's where we have the matchup of captain Jack Sparrow versus captain Ron. Captain Jack Sparrow is a pirate of the Caribbean where Captain Ron is getting more in shorts character from the Caribbean back to Miami, more modern fans. I guess they didn't like the early nineties Russell, kurt Russell movies, jack Sparrow 88 to 12. Yeah, jack Sparrow is really tough to beat. I can see him in Plano 4, maybe even in the final.
Speaker 1:What pops into my head whenever you say Jack Sparrow, pirates of the Caribbean? No, the lonely island boys. Yeah, who's that? Michael Bolton, michael Bolton? Oh, such a great. It's a banger too, and that's what makes it so good. It's obviously. It's a.
Speaker 1:For those who don't know, it's a comedy song and they're rapping and they're like trying to be really hard, and then Michael Bolton just comes in and starts singing about the Pirates of the Caribbean. Oh my God, this is so great. This is the two. Oh my God, I'm going to listen to it on repeat tonight. You got to If you haven't listened to anything from the island boys Sprit never heard. I'm on a boat, senator Tick Tock of his Mandela. In fact, the song was in the movie it's I want to boat. You scroll over to Titanic. You sent it to me. I sent it to her Because I don't know this song and it was like, first off, were you not around in 2010? It was this in my side. It was part of USA, that was it. It was all you had to listen to in the summer 2010.
Speaker 1:But next time you see Captain Jack Sparrow not in the Caribbean, he'll be going against the winner of Captain obvious and Han Solo. Oh, mono E mono. I don't know who's going to win that one. If it was a real fight, I know who would win. Sing about it, it's obvious. Yeah, come from. Next one, come from the Gouda region, harry. We got two boat captains One who has a hook for hand and one who's trying to keep Michael Scott at bay.
Speaker 1:We have Captain Hook versus Captain Jack from the office boost cruise episode. I'm really surprised they both made it this far, especially you know who they went up against previously. 82 to 28 numbers, guy, forwards and backwards, the same number. Captain Hook moves on. We didn't say which Captain Hook, because there's been a lot, but just the general synopsis of Captain Hook.
Speaker 1:When I say Captain Hook, who do you think of Peter Pan? Obviously Peter Pan, the original. Oh, you think you're thinking the original? Yeah, okay. Who are you thinking? I've never seen that movie. No, no, rufia. Oh man, it's such a good one. That really is a good one, it is. I know it's people have like arm sleeves dedicated to it. Oh yeah, because it's Dustin Hoffman is hook. She don't realize that.
Speaker 1:But next time we see Captain Hook oh, we got a possible good matchup because we have Captain America going against Mr Keating. Oh, captain, my captain. Now we will be sure to say that it is Mr Keaton and not just Robin Williams, correct? I updated the bracket Good, good Again, because I think Robin Williams versus Captain America. He is. He's General America, right. Yeah, captain America, right. I was trying to figure out how to say it, but then I guess if he's General America, get rid of him. He's eliminated because he's not captain. Oh smart, but now Robin Williams will upset anyone in the bracket. Yeah, we got to make sure we label him correctly. I appreciate you doing that. Yes, sir, let's move on. Harry, we're leaving the Gouda region because Gouda is good. Let's go to the Bree region.
Speaker 1:Right top left hand corner, we have Philly, faithful Captain Noah Going against Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce. Those on the street referred to him as Hawkeye, hanging out in the swamp with his own gin. Still, hey, this one was tough for a lot of folks. Yeah, you said it would be. It wasn't that tough. It was 74, 26. Oh, and I think the 26 are all from the same region. I didn't even look at votes, but I'm willing to wager this beer cap I got sitting right here that the 26% that went with Captain Noah from the same region, because with 74%, captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce is moving on Rightfully, absolutely. So next time we see Hawkeye, he'll be going against the winner of this work. That's good.
Speaker 1:Captain Sully versus Captain Morgan. One has saved over a hundred lives. One helped create over a thousand lives. 10 hundred thousand, dang it. I'm going to be honest, captain Pierce, he is my underdog. Oh yeah, I think I know he's an underdog in this thing, but I'm just really rooting for him. Me too, I love Hawkeye Anything. Alan Alda has been since then. But he was using the blacklist early on and I was like, oh man, hawkeye, he's not Hawkeye either. No, and then when they say the movie Hawkeye, I don't think of Jeremy Renner, I'm just waiting for Alan Alda to. It's an old Alan Alda coming out with a bow and arrow. No, I'm just thinking of standing with the martini glass gone. Hey, what are you doing over there? Maybe you're as smooth. Talk me out of this. That's enough about him.
Speaker 1:Let's move on to the cheddar region. Harry, top right hand corner, here is better. We have Captain Planet versus Captain Kirk Once again once here, say the pollution, and one is just an outer space. They're both captains. One's green One, I think, dates a green woman. So pretty wild, close to the matchup of the day 70-30.
Speaker 1:Captain Kirk moves on Mark from the Great Media Comic Con. He will be returning here very shortly. I'm sorry, buddy, we had two people on the show make picks. Chance, with Captain Hussaino out, now Captain Planet out. That's tough, it's a tough loss. I guess everyone loves pollution. I guess they do, because if you went against Captain Planet, you enjoy Earth being polluted. I don't know where I was going with that, harry, I'm just so flustered. It's fine.
Speaker 1:I've also never seen Star Trek, so I can't have an opinion on Captain Kirk. I watched a new one. Yeah, when they remade them, j Abrams directed them. Watch the first one with that popular actor, chris Pine. Yes, I feel so bad for Chris Pine. Well, I can see Star Trek. No, he always gets these roles that could turn into franchises and they just don't turn into franchises. Yeah, chris Pine Barons, good for him. Oh, next time we see Captain Kirk going against Heads Up the winner of Captain Ahab we're bringing up Moby Dick again Against Captain Raymond Holt 99? 99. That's it. Be even looking after those polls.
Speaker 1:I will be posting them up this weekend, give you some time to think about it, stew about it, get those votes in and share with everybody. Gotta share, gotta share it, gotta share, Gotta, gotta, gotta share. I have to share my eel. I actually don't have one. I genuinely don't. Not that nothing bad or eel worthy has happened. I just can't think of anything, nothing that's really jumping out to me as much as a golden trout is to Jason Kelsie riding off in retirement. It's also an eel, but not worthy of an eel. I really don't have one, either man. It's just.
Speaker 1:Is it because we're both so like it's a busy week? Are we both feeling positive? Well, you know what it is. I think the news and I'm going to be honest here, I'm not trying to hype this up Jason and Travis Kelsie. We're slowly starting to severely dislike them because they're just us, but just way more popular. Yeah, more money. More popular? Yeah, it was. It's hard to not sound crazy, but it's really upsetting when the leader of your team steps away and super proud of them, happy for them, but it sucks, and I just didn't want to focus on anything too negative this week after that. I think this would honestly triggered it. Yeah, two weeks, two years ago Is it last year?
Speaker 1:Jason Kelsie did the passing of the torch to Jaylen and Hertz said this is your team, bud. And Jaylen said you're the leader of your team. I got the C on my chest, but it's your team. Yeah, so sad to see him leave. Prediction Wow, prediction time Ready, harry, go on. They are going to use Jason. He's going to be a commentator, right, because he got a commentator training and everything previously.
Speaker 1:Take the Buffalo game shirtless, hanging out, jumping out the window, he's hanging out the Bill's fans, whatever network picks him up and it'd be nice with Monday night football, picks him up as a special guest reporter, whatever, and he tailgates with the hometown fans. I'd love to see it. I'd pay money for that. Yeah, I'd get it hanging out with hometown fans. Could you imagine him and Philly? They wouldn't be able to do it honestly. No, it had to be like an event, like tickets and all that, and they can only let so many people in. Even if they did it, doing only the Manning cast games, I'd be happy with that. Yeah, true, I can see. That Doesn't what?
Speaker 1:Every team get a Monday night football game? No, it's not guaranteed. Every team Like Jacksonville has had a Monday night game in five years. Well, it's Jacksonville. Hopefully they get one this year. They're doing all right, they're getting better. They got Dougie P. Much love, dougie P. I don't know. I think they should make a rule for every team to get a Monday night game, but then again, not everybody deserves one. It's not like Thursday night, where it's apparently the two worst teams of the week, right, I don't know. There needs to be a rule or something like that.
Speaker 1:Speaking of rules, harry, it's that time. Yeah, that was your segue. Well, what did you want me to say? I thought you were jumping on it With that. Harry, it's time we skipped a few weeks. We got to bring it back. Funny state laws still exist today, brought to you this week by Kisbel Kelsey's Bellbonds. When you're in trouble, don't worry, he won't have to pull up his sleeves, he'll just rip them right off. Let's review, harry. You're sitting at 34 and 33. Positive, still positive. Are you ready? I am ready.
Speaker 1:Sir, in this state, a man with a mustache may never kiss a woman in public, no matter how affectionate he wants to be. If you got the upper lip caterpillar, keep your pucker to yourself. Your options are Montana, iowa, florida. Give me those options again. Montana, iowa, florida's back in. I'm sorry, I was thinking like old retirees. A lot of old guys have mustaches. Now, when you say kiss, do you mean make out or just kiss? I'm taking that as a kiss in any way.
Speaker 1:So Iowa, florida, montana, yes, montana's for me, I think of Montana. I think of real cowboys, like to this day. Is that where Yellowstone was probably filmed? I didn't watch it. Yellowstone's in Montana yeah, those are men. They're going to have facial hair. Yeah, true, Iowa's.
Speaker 1:Weird, because let's see what's in Iowa. What's the biggest city in Iowa? Des Moines, des Moines. Okay, so you have Des Moines, so you have Des Moines and you have corn, so, all right, florida again. The retirees, the older crowd, the 80s yeah, because, think about it, the 80s, you got Miami Vice Times, you got the. Who am I thinking of? I think of Tom Selleck, the WIFI, though, tom Selleck, I was thinking Bert Selleck, I was mixing Bert Selleck. Yeah, bert Reynolds, the Florida State yeah, I was mixing those guys. So that's weird, but it's like Montana and Iowa. It's just like religion play a part. I'm going to go Iowa.
Speaker 1:Final answer Good choice, harry, because a man with a mustache may never kiss a woman in the state of Iowa. Iowa, yeah, it just it wasn't so much that, like, I thought it was Iowa, it was more. The fact of it doesn't make sense for Montana or Florida, yeah, and I don't know anything about Iowa. Again, what is in Iowa? My buddy Ryan lives there now. We have your buddy Ryan, you have corn and you have des and no, no mustaches. And apparently no mustaches I should have there, because I cannot grow facial hair Actually. So I was running late this morning.
Speaker 1:I have electric razor in my truck. It is March. It is mustache March. Right, it is mustache March. I do my electric razor. A couple of days ago today I didn't do my mustache, right. Well, it was just when I was like I don't like using the electric razor up here is what it is At the girls. I was like I don't like using the electric razor up here, it is what it is at the girls got out of school today or live, you was home.
Speaker 1:I don't like using the electric razor. I don't like using the electric razor. I don't like using the electric razor. I don't like using the electric razor. I don't like using the electric razor. I don't like using the electric razor. I don't like using the electric razor. I don't like using the electric razor. I don't like using the electric razor. I don't like using the electric razor. I don't like using the electric razor. I don't like using the electric razor. I don't like using the electric razor. I don't like using the electric razor. I don't like using the electric razor. I don't like using the electric razor. I don't like using the electric razor. I don't like using the electric razor. I don't like using the electric razor. I don't like using the electric razor.
Speaker 1:To England, I got to keep it together for this one. Animal rescues were called and they rushed to a park in England for reports of a dog stuck in a ditch. Unresponsive dogs stuck in a ditch. You know where this is going because I don't get dark with this. When they arrive, the dog will just touch you. Ha, simply go to the police for a dog stuck in a ditch. And the dog was a statue. Ha, ha, ha, ha. You imagine if you're the cop who shows up and, like I'm at which one of you, father report yes, that was me, mate.
Speaker 1:There's the dog stuck in a ditch. First off, did you try helping it? Did you throw a stick at it? Did you go down there and try to help? Did you need glasses to see that is a statue? Good on whoever made the call. Good on them.
Speaker 1:Come on, man, I'm still trying to figure it out. What in a ditch? So it was just a dog stuck random dog statue in a ditch yeah, it just looks like a ditch side run off of the road and probably fell in the back of somebody's truck. The police won't say where it came from, just that it showed up there. There's a dog laying on the side of the road. Hey, you guys need to come check this out. Yep, and it's a statue. I'd take it home, I'd take it back, I'd take it back to the police station and it'd be our new mascot. Oh, absolutely, I'd probably call him ditch. You know?
Speaker 1:What's funny, though, is, unfortunately, that cop, he's going to get his chops busted constantly. He should. He's not the one who made the call. They called him out, right, but he's still got to go. Every time he walks to the station they're like hey, did you find any dogs today? Just saying many dogs. Hey, mike, mate, that's Australian. Dude. God save the king. Did you save any dogs down there while eating fish and chips? Can you just talk? We have British listeners in your distance. Our Australian listeners are very proud, louis, but our British friends not so much. Oh, yeah, dude. I just imagine that poor guy is now because obviously he did the right thing. He showed up. He did his job, but, yeah, he chops are going to get busted for sure. Yeah, hello governor, good day to you.
Speaker 1:Do you have a hot of stone because your dogs made a stone? Harry, what would you if you found a dog statue? Would you color it? Would you paint it? I don't know what I do. I'd probably just leave it. What do I need a dog statue for? I have a dog, not true? I would paint it black, just because it'd be cool. It would be cool. That's all I got for some PWN. Back to you, studio T. Oh, buddy, you ready to pack up the truck? I'm ready like jumping jack flash. Let's get up on out of here. All right, dude, it's time to let the cat out of the bag.
Speaker 1:The 57th highest selling album of all times is the Rolling Stones, hot Rocks. We've been making references the entire episode. You're not gonna. Not. It's great, I'm not, it's a great. I remember when it came out, I was telling you before the show I actually listened to an original pressing of it on vinyl. It is so great. I did, I was like 15. And I didn't know. I didn't realize what I was listening to. No, I mean, paint it black is just a great song. I love that song and I was like, oh, this is great. But I'm realizing now that I was listening to an original pressing. It's just wild and it's so wild, dude.
Speaker 1:Like having a record player, a vinyl player would be so cool to have. They take a lot of room, but I think it would be so cool to have. And I have certain albums I want. Oh, I am one. I don't have kids so I have more space than you, but yeah, I have one. Thriller would be an album, random, right, random. Obviously. I would want Zeppelin and stones, the who. I want the classic rock that the vinyl was made for. But then Van Helms 1984. Oh, yeah, yeah, I don't have many. I have Jelly Rolls latest album on vinyl. Okay, florence and the Machine Good one, I love Florence. I'm actually a top point zero five percent listener three years running, really, with Florence and the Machine, yeah, their music is art to me.
Speaker 1:Now that's what I call rap 2000s on vinyl oh man, is it getting hot in here? It is on there, it's edited though, so it's a little sad actually, because it has a DMX track and it's just not. It doesn't hit the same. And then I have a Christmas album. Eric Church, when he did the heart and soul and the three albums oh, I have heart. But yeah, I love vinyl. Oh, fleetwood Mac, great hit stuff. Oh, man, that was the first one I got. Yeah, rumors, I would like rumors album is on my list of must have vinyls. Yeah, it's not their big greatest hits, it was just a great assits. A great assits doesn't matter. Yeah, because it's also hard to spend $45 on vinyls. That's really tough.
Speaker 1:It was a place here called second and Charles and it's the bookstore Like you can take your books back and sell it to them and they give you store credit type thing. Yeah, I was gonna do a regular one with a lot of her books here. She blows through them. All right, should read a lot. They have vinyl section. Oh, rush and any rush out. Anyway, I can talk about this for days. Let's pack it up.
Speaker 1:Look, you ever played the Florida man game? The Florida man game, no, florida man game. There's two Florida man games. One go on Google, type your birthday this month day, florida man, see what comes up. And the next one is the Florida man games. Right, big crowd cheer, competitions, evading police and wrestling over beer are some of the events that were held. It is promoted as the most insane athletic showdown on earth.
Speaker 1:The Florida man games poke fun at states. Reputation for bizarre stories that involve brawling, drinking, gunfire, reptile wrangling and other antics carrying a risk of time in jail or intensive care. Harry, this is the Florida man games. Oh man, think about everything that is Florida and what you Florida man did, this Florida man did that. They're wrestling over a beer. They're trying to run from the cop. They want to punch an alligator in the face.
Speaker 1:One man games just seems like the Florida version of MXC most extreme challenge on spike TV. That was a great show. I love that show, dubbed over the most random things in the world, however dubbed, that's what made that show great and he's made it come back or just re air it. But Florida man games is something that would have been on spike TV with pros versus Joes. We will have a segment later in the future about that show that I want to get into. But Florida man games MXC, that would have been, oh man, I don't want to be a spectator of it. I don't even want to participate. No, I'm too old and my knees hurt. But yeah, I want to watch. No, I just don't want to deal with stupid Florida people. That's true, not all people from Florida, stupid I got. We have friends there. But I want to show up with a 30 record bushlight, a couple of Trot stream Cousies, little little beach chair and just watch. All right, so real quick, for fun, I Googled my birthday in Florida man.
Speaker 1:Around 2 30 am, a man was called in surveillance video broken to a Joes Crab Shack in Fort Myers, florida. Climbed through a small window, he broke in, stealing multiple items, including alcohol, and defecated on the floor prior to leaving. He's now known as the booping perpetrator, the double P Florida's wild. I did mine. Florida addresses Fred Flintstone pulled over for driving quote footmobile.
Speaker 1:I'm not surprised they don't have inspection. Yeah, oh, what will be? Everybody out there? Just put month day Florida man. It'll populate, you'll get some stuff. I promise you the officer. You don't need driver's license, it doesn't go. Yeah, I mean, it's just like I got a box. Hey, let's get on. I 95. Let's go from Florida all the way up. Let's go to Jersey. Do we have to After this next one? All right, you've seen spranners, we've all seen spranners. If you haven't seen spranners at the? U Google your birthday in Florida, man, go ahead and sit down. Watch spranners. It is arguably one of the greatest TV shows of all time.
Speaker 1:But the ice cream booth from the final scene the very controversial scene sells on eBay for $82,000. Is it worth that? The worth is the somebody right, not to me, but to somebody. Yeah, maybe it was filmed in 2007. So that's what? 17 years ago it was filmed. A lot of butts been in that seat. Yeah, it's spark. It's odd to me anyway. It's not like they filmed it, took it down and then sold it. No, it stayed in Holstons in Bloomfield, new Jersey. That's been in business in North Jersey since 1939.
Speaker 1:It's current co owner, chris Carly, set an opening bid of three G's the Burgundy booth with the yellow Formica top. Oh man, you can almost taste it. How many onion rings and ice cream Sundays have been eaten at this table? He was open to raise 10 grand to cover part of the 60 K that he needed for a new floor for the building. Oh, he's a new booth. Right, he was upgraded ice cream shop. It's been around since 1939. You can use him upgrade. The place was wood paneling, harry. Oh, right, he was expecting just to get a cut into his 60 K, turns out that the whole thing boom pays for his new floor.
Speaker 1:They had a little sign up there reserved for soprano family on the booth and then James Guelphine's son actually took a picture in that booth with the sign like safer, soprano family. Yeah, so technically, since he was in the many saints in Newark, he played young James Gantt, tony soprano. So tell me what he is part of, the soprano family, oh, which actually was really awesome that his son played him. Yeah, it is pretty, pretty awesome. Movie was a disappointment. Good on hole since they made a 2 K.
Speaker 1:What they buy that booth for back in the 30s, probably like a nickel. Yeah, $2. A lot of money. $2 for a booth, sir, I cannot afford that. I'm but a small ice cream shop. I sell ice cream for five cents a scoop and these kids only want one scoop.
Speaker 1:But since we're packing up the truck, harry, and talking about big money, let's go to major league baseball right Headquarters in New York, right the other side of Jersey. North Jersey thinks they're the New York and South Jersey is just East Philly, to be honest, yes, so we cut Jersey in half and expand to states. We can go to 49 states if we want to, I agree with that. Yeah, split California, half Northern California, southern California, we'll go back to 50 states. That's smart, I'm down. I'm down for that.
Speaker 1:But have you seen the new major league baseball uniforms, harry? Fun fact, I've tried not to and to. This news report comes out that there's a picture of show a and it'll be players. They're pretty miffed at the sports. New quote see through pants. They've changed the pants up. Even Philly shortstop trade turn goes.
Speaker 1:What was wrong with the old pants? The old pants are just great. No, I think it's because Taylor Swift is with Travis and NFL is getting all these new viewers of women. They're like how can we entice women to come over? What if we played in see through pants? What if they just wore see through pants? Like, you got this event of bananas that are wearing sleeveless belly shirts. What can we do as professionals? It wear belly shirts and we ought to have sleeves See through. See through pants. It is. Do you? Did you ever see Harold and Kumar escape on time? Obey, yes, it's a bottomless party. Yes, yeah, that's pretty much where the MLB's headed. Yeah, you can see show a shirt tucked into his pants. Yeah, it's not a good look, not a good look at all.
Speaker 1:There was, chris Christie went to the Mets. Oh yeah, he's put on the jersey. And then I read it come as a please don't put the pants on. I don't care who you are. That's funny Like any. Nobody should put those pants on. Oh, no, no, no, you should probably put two pair of pants on. My thing is are you want to tweak jerseys? You want to change the lettering up? Make it lighter, because you know that big, heavy sewn patch could be a lot. I get it, it's heavy, but pants, I don't think you have to mess with pants. Don't mess with my pants. Yeah, there was no reason whatsoever to change it. That was just the reason they get Nike to get more money than Nike. Yeah, it is a business deal.
Speaker 1:This was like they didn't even talk to the players all about it. That's fresh. But, harry, let's talk about it. It just came out, we talked. We haven't even talked about this yet.
Speaker 1:Let's leave New York to the south, to one of the greatest states in the union. Let's get on the PA turnpike, harry, between Reading and Morgantown, mile marker 291, lancaster County, a new billboard has popped up with everybody's beloved Beaver mascot, bucky. 7 miles, which is the exact distance to the closest Buckees in Florence, south Carolina. But what does this sign mean, harry? It's in Lancaster County. What is the imaginary line in Lancaster County? That is like no, mason Dixon is PA in Maryland. Am I far? Actually that far, dude? It's like 40 miles. Yeah, I know, but the light, I'm talking about North and South border, not East and West border of Lancaster County. That line of demarcation is Wawa and sheets. Oh, that is the gentleman's agreement between Wawa and sheets. Neither one will cross that line of demarcation, the demilitarized zone and this is right where Buckees put their billboard right there between Reading and Morgan. So we know that area, right, we know that area.
Speaker 1:Fun fact, I didn't tell you this. I drove past that sign. What? Yes, andrew's sleeping, so I don't want to talk to him driving. I obviously can't text and drive, I do not text and drive and I don't want to talk to him. And I was like, what does that mean? What does that mean? Because you don't just advertise something 537 miles away. No, why would you? I think it's a test, yeah, of the emergency broadcasting system. I think it's a test to see how many people are going to be talking about it. I think it's a test to see if it would be welcomed. Because here's the thing with Buckees, and we talked about it before it's not a gas station, it's a destination. Yeah, 100%, it's a Walmart-sized cracker barrel gift shop.
Speaker 1:The problem is, what's the pass-through destination in Lancaster? Because Lancaster doesn't have the drawl of Pigeon Forest, tennessee Sea Reveille, where they're building another one, not a Myrtle Beach, what's there? That's the part that concerns me the most and I don't want to get my hopes up, because what's the through destination? Philly, pittsburgh Do you think there's that much traffic between Pittsburgh and Philly? They're building one in Ruston, louisiana, which is about 45 minutes from here. That's the middle of nowhere, really, I think. Is it off at 30? Think of On 20?, 20, 30, okay, yeah, harry, I know you haven't seen it, you got to think field of dreams. Mm-hmm, if you build it, they will come. That's it I'd go.
Speaker 1:Can you imagine a Bucky's but with all Pennsylvania decor, a Pennsylvania cutting board, a Bucky's 20 minutes from my house? That'd be terribly awesome. I might go work there. I don't see. I'd be a manager. I'd be the car wash manager. Make 20 bucks an hour.
Speaker 1:Two, right, that's the guy that yells brisket on board. He just chopped the brisket. Chopped brisket all day long, cleaned up samples, Fresh, hot brisket on the board Great, yeah, I never. I've never complained about a day of work in my life. Let me restock the cups.
Speaker 1:I'd clean the bathrooms. Oh man, the best bathrooms, they're always clean. So the best bathrooms in the world Can't be hard. Nope, I'm, I'm. I'm so stupid.
Speaker 1:I imagine the bathrooms have walls, for this small five-foot-three guy lives and he just pops out in between people and then he goes right back. Yeah, there we go. That's the only way they get it done. Like a looting tune commercial, yeah, or a looting tune's cartoon, yeah, he just sits behind the wall all day, yeah, just pops out. But like Bucky's in middle of Pennsylvania, like that in God's country. No sympathy for the devil. There it's gonna look great. Yeah, I hope it happens, dude, because, like I said, it would not be far from my house. No, but I just want to get our hopes up, because you can't always get what you want. You cannot always get what you want, but if you try, sometimes you just might find you get what you need. Buddy, this has been a fun episode. It's been fun. I love when a good album lines up with this. It was a great album.
