#60 WE'RE BACK! A DINOSAUR MOVIE
Have you ever wondered if a dog with an adventurous spirit could journey from San Diego to Detroit? Or pondered the possibility of California splitting into multiple states? Well, Harry and Paul Troutman are back at it again in Episode 60 of The Trout Stream, bringing you the most captivating and quirky tales that have lured us in hook, line, and sinker. We're casting our nets far and wide, from WrestleMania hair comparisons to the suspenseful outcomes of our captain's bracket—where Captain Sully has steered his way to an unexpected victory.
There's never a dull moment when you're riding the current with us. Imagine sitting rink-side as a spectator becomes a hero at a minor league hockey game—the puck stops here, literally! Then, shift gears to the nostalgic thrills of comic-cons, and the evocative power of a distinctive voice that could launch a thousand podcasts. Yes, we had a moment with Claudia Wells that's got us buzzing with ideas. It's all about the blend of sports, entertainment, and the oddities of life that keep us—and hopefully you—thoroughly entertained.
We're not just here to spin yarns; we're building a community where tales of porch pirates stand side by side with the reminiscences of "We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story." The Trout Stream is a call to action for all streamers to join our river of engagement. Share the stories, laugh with friends, and let our voices be the current that carries you through the week.

Hello friends, and welcome back to another episode of the Trout Stream. I am Harry Troutman and with me, as always, is my co-host, I am Paul Troutman. So pick up a pole, cast a line and join us on the stream. Today, on episode 60, we'll talk about our favorite athletes to wear the number 60, hand out some golden trouts and eels of the week, continue our favorite captain's bracket and, of course, much more. Paul, after a well long deserved break, we are back, and we are back with a big one episode 60. Hey, dude, welcome back to the trout stream, welcome to episode 60.
Speaker 1:Just like the 1993 classic, we're back a dinosaur story, except for it's a trout stream. Just like the 1993 classic, we're back A dinosaur story, except for it's a trout stream story. It's a trout stream story.
Speaker 2:I've been waiting to reference that movie for so long. There was a couple of years there where I thought that movie was a fever dream of mine. Luckily I had you and then my twin sister to help me. Like no dude, it was real. Everyone saw it. Nope, a hundred percent, I saw it. So we've been on for about a month.
Speaker 1:That's been three, at least three weeks of not recording.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's been very brutal for us. Yeah, so let's talk about it. The trout stream is breaking up. No, not at all. Psych, psych.
Speaker 1:Yeah, crowdstream is breaking up. No, not at all. Psych, psych. Yeah, I'm bringing it back.
Speaker 2:Paul, this is actually more on you. You had to work nights, I did. I had to work nights for two weeks and then on the third week, technical difficulties like we haven't seen since episode one, very brutal. That was just going to be a quick, fun episode on top of that because your schedule was still way off.
Speaker 1:And then like technical difficulties here, like the lead that was in the walls from when they built my house, like not that long ago. So we called the lead inspector and he was like no man, if you just update your Wi-Fi router, you can actually get on the Internet. So I was like no man, if you just update your wi-fi router you can actually get on the internet. So it's a cool man thanks.
Speaker 2:All that matters is we're back. We're back with a bang dude, we're back man. So you pretty much worked weird hours. Uh, yes, I did. We went camping, we went to the great media comic-con and got to see Mark. I got to see a DeLorean that was suited up just like doc Browns yeah, super awesome. I've been enjoying my time away. Unfortunately, you just doing the work part of life. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Speaker 1:There were it was some fun there. But yeah, a lot of work, a lot of work. I'm not going to lie to you. A lot of work, a lot of toddler potty training, A lot of screaming kids, but a lot of fun. There's been a whole lot of fun these last few weeks.
Speaker 2:What's been even more fun is there's a trend this year with NASCAR for me and you Weeks. We don't record. I win the pick-ems, you do. I won what? Three in a row.
Speaker 1:No, sir, you have not won three in a row. Harry, stop lying to our fans. Stop lying to our listeners. Stop lying to our listeners. Stop lying to the world. You've won six in a row. Take a little credit for yourself. Six in a row.
Speaker 2:That's a hot streak if I've ever seen one. I go first Episode 60. I love when I go first on these big key episodes. Oh, so good with that. My first pick is I got no one All that hype, all that hard work to go first making sure I got the right picks and I got no one jumping out at 60. So there's my 60 pick, Okay.
Speaker 1:But I'm going to jump on in here and I have one. There are two big ones, two big ones in the NFL whole thing. I'll mention Otto Graham, number 60, quarterback, browns, browns or Bears, anyway, okay Right, it doesn't matter, because there's only one number 60 in the entire Philadelphia sports region, sports world, in the NFL, in the history of sports, the only number 60 is concrete Charlie Chuck. But Eric, how can I forget about Chuck? Two time NFL champion 1949, 1960. Coincidentally, one of the baddest dudes ever to play the game. He's so bad that In NCAA Division one they had the but Benerick Award for Top Defensive Player.
Speaker 2:You're a beast when you get awards named after you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I started handing out awards. The Troutman Award, it really hasn't caught on because I won like last six.
Speaker 2:So yeah, that's cool, I'll do it. Well, you could win. I go down the street to Bud's Trophy.
Speaker 1:He's going to be like, hey, cool, I'll do it. Well, you can win. I go down the street the bud's trophies and be like hey, bud, I need another one. He's like all right, same name, same everything.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just update the year for me, mm.
Speaker 1:But also Chuck. Not only was a star linebacker who basically killed Frank Griffith, kathy Lee Gifford yeah, from Regis and Kathy Her husband, frank Gifford, was a running back for the Giants and it's a very infamous. This will be our cover photo this week on social media of Concrete Charlie just standing over him Not only linebacker, but he was the center. He was an Ironman. So imagine Jason Kelsey playing linebacker Wow and just lighting people up on both sides of the ball. That was Concrete Charlie Also thought that his nickname Concrete Charlie was from how hard he hit people. It turns out that NFL players didn't get paid much back then, so he did concrete work five days a week.
Speaker 2:He's out there laying concrete and then playing both sides of the ball on Sunday.
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 2:That's an animal.
Speaker 1:Good for him. I'm very proud of him. And then I got three draft picks. One from the NFL is 2006. Jacksonville Jaguars selected Maurice Jones-Drew, number 60 overall being young.
Speaker 2:that was another jersey that popped up quite a bit.
Speaker 1:Yes, mjd was always around. My next one here from Major League Baseball, mlb 2016. The Angels selected him. He wound up getting traded to the Philadelphia Phillies two years ago Brandon Marsh.
Speaker 2:I love Brandon Marsh.
Speaker 1:He's part of the Phillies daycare he is part of the Phillies daycare and his hair is always wet. Oh, like a WWE wrestler. Yeah, matt and Jeff Hardy come out with Brandon Marsh. Their hair is just soaking wet. Two bottles of water per head, probably from Triple H's bottles, and spit everywhere. And then my third pick, harry, if you can pronounce it better than me, it's on you NBA 2018. Coincidentally, it was the 76ers. Whoa, yeah, he did right. Yeah, his brother's NBA 2018. Coincidentally, it was the 76ers.
Speaker 2:Whoa, yeah, he did right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, his brother's Giannis, who is known as the Greek freak, yeah.
Speaker 2:Giannis, no G, it's like Euro, giannis, really, yeah, this whole time. Yeah, yeah, it's also not gyro, it's Euro. Oh, I know it's Euro, yeah, so just think Giannis euro, that makes sense.
Speaker 1:They're both Greek. He's the Greek freak, which is a shock to me, because I thought a Greek freak Was a euro with Beef, chicken and lamb. So Shows how much I know.
Speaker 2:I love a good Euro. I'm not going to lie to you. That's one thing I will always, even Arby's, even the Arby's Euro, which is nowhere near close and probably a slap in the face to the Greek culture, even in Arby's Euro, I'll sign me up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like them. We got Greek restaurants around here, so that's actually Sabrina and I. We discussed before when we do escape rooms. The one escape room when we go, we hit the Greek restaurant either before or after, and it's amazing. I love it so much.
Speaker 2:No see, we eat after, Because that hunger drives us a little bit more.
Speaker 1:Right, it also depends on what time we have in the escape room plan.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you have kids, I don't. We can just kind of do whatever we want.
Speaker 1:You got to plan your life. Yeah, we got to plan. Oh, you want to do an escape room. When Do you want to do this? Next Friday? Okay, got to move some things around here.
Speaker 2:We just have to be back before our eight-hour time limit for the pops up. So other than that, we're pretty set on most things. All right then. Yeah, it's easy. So I've been dominating NASCAR pick-ems. You said I had six.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm reviewing here.
Speaker 2:Yep, that's one, two, three, four, five and six in a row, six in a row, the number six zero car, not in the Cup Series, but in the Xfinity. The step down, if you will. The minor leagues, okay. Formerly Roush Racing, now RFK. The step down, if you will. The minor leagues, okay. Formerly Roush Racing, now RFK. The 60 cars won three championships in the Xfinity Series Greg Biffle, all names, we know Greg Biffle in 2002, Carl Edwards in 2007 and Chris Buescher in 2015.
Speaker 1:I really forgot. Chris Buescher won that championship in 15. Me too, oh, you know what. I know why I was deployed at the end of the season in 15. Oh, where were you at? I was in Greece, south Greece. Wow, yeah, I was in the Mediterranean for that one, so I didn't get all the races in a time difference. Yeah, but I was like 15. How do I not know who won that one? Yep, it's because you couldn't watch it. I didn't watch it, and then I didn't know about all the cool live streaming.
Speaker 2:Then yeah, I didn't really learn about streaming until the last year, just like, unfortunately, I didn't really learn about streaming until the last year, just like, unfortunately, I didn't get to watch talladega, oh, wow, okay. Yeah, there was some. We'll never talk about politics on this show, but there was some big political things going on that fox decides to cover. Oh okay, in new york, yeah, because I watch a New York clock Really. Yeah, I don't want to talk about it. Pretty sure it might be frowned upon on some establishments on how I watch television. So, moving right along, okay, moving right along, there has been plenty, plenty of good news, plenty of golden trouts In these past couple weeks. I'm going to take, I'm going to go first, I'm going to give you my golden trout moment, my creme de la creme moment of the past couple weeks here.
Speaker 2:If you know me personally, I enjoy wrestling, I enjoy the WWE. Oh yeah, oh yeah. I've said it on the show before and I'll always say it because it does mean a lot to me my wife got me the heavyweight championship belt as a wedding present. Instead of a ring, get a belt. Yeah, I was all about that life. Actually, I got her a very pretty sapphire necklace I'm pretty sure I've worn my championship belt more than she has worn her necklace, because you wear it every day, every day. It's literally I'm touching it. It's sitting right next to me. I am touching it right now.
Speaker 1:You only took it off, so you could sit down.
Speaker 2:Yes, without question, although there was a comedian who called the championship a cummerbund, and I cannot unsee that. Nope, nope, nope. It's a fancy cummerbund, it's a fancy crumberbund. But we bring this all up. I bring WrestleMania up because, again, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, right? We bring it up because there was a special guest. There was two special guests during a match between Ray Mysterio and his son, dominic Mysterio.
Speaker 1:Ooh, it's very mysterious, it's not?
Speaker 2:mysterious Dominic's a little prick and we don't like him, but we're not supposed to. So then two giant masked men hop out of the stance, beat up on Dominic, throw him in the ring, red pins him one, two, three. Now I knew who the one was right away. It was the second one. I didn't know, it was the second one, I didn't know how. About none other than former center Jason Kelsey and current right tackle Lane Johnson at WrestleMania in Philadelphia, involved in a match, get to win. It was awesome to see.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, brother, yeah that was part of the when I started working nights and you and I discussed when we found out resume is going to be a Philly. Two years ago, year and a half ago, whatever it was, we talked about how cool would it be to go, but obviously the stars didn't line up, planets were out of orbit and our horoscopes didn't say we were going, yeah, and so I had to sit back and have you text me, but also watch the highlights of everything going on. I was like man. But can we talk about? Jason?
Speaker 2:kelsey was falling off the ropes yeah, I don't think he was prepared for that no.
Speaker 1:So first off his double leg, jump over the ropes, poetic yeah, one of the smoothest I've ever seen in a ring.
Speaker 2:It was smooth as could be.
Speaker 1:But then he gets up on that second rope but he's cheering like he's Stone Cold, steve Austin, he goes to jump off and his it looks like it I don't know if they were knockoff Timberlands or his Walmart work boots got hung up on the rope and he almost ate it, almost oh man.
Speaker 2:Now I called Lane Johnson being there. You did. I knew if there was going to be any interference. I thought it was either going to be Jason, but I knew Lane Johnson was going to have a part somehow. Yeah, he was going to be there somehow. Yeah, he's a big WWE guy. He's talked about in his retirement going and becoming a wrestler, so it was pretty cool to see them both there.
Speaker 1:I would love to be a wrestler. I don't know, it would win something, maybe just punch somebody, I don't know, that'd be cool. I would let undertaker choke slam me. Yeah, 100%. If they're like all right, here's the stipulation. You could give the rock bottom, but Undertaker is giving you a choke slam and a tombstone and I'm going. Where's my contract?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'll sign the three hour contract. You don't even have to pay me, don't even pay me.
Speaker 1:I'll do it for free. As a matter of fact, here's the only thing. I want you to pay me two beers. Toss me my circle. Yeah, you won't hear from me again and I'll do you one better. I'll keep my shirt on. There you go. I'm pretty sure they would just sign off on that right away. Alright, man, this is where I jump in. I got a golden trout here. This one goes out to somebody. I know somebody of Harry. We posted it on our page. We've talked about it on our show. A good friend of mine, adam Simmons, for completing the Boston Marathon. That is insane 26.2 mile run.
Speaker 2:To put your body through that. Boston's one of the tougher ones right so hilly.
Speaker 1:I guess. So I don't know. I've never ran a marathon, but I've heard it's pretty bad. I've never ran, I mean. Plus you got to run with all the people with Boston accents, so that's got to be terrible.
Speaker 2:They're probably like watch out for the car and the pack. That's a no from me. Dog Can.
Speaker 1:I get a beer. Yeah, you want a hop? Like nope, I'm out. But yeah, good one, adam. He finished it faster than I would have. Yeah, moving on from the Boston Marathon Harry to this one here is tough for me to read. It deserves a golden trout. This one's tough to read. Evening television is going to change forever. It has changed forever. When Alex Trebek stepped down and then when he passed away, Jeopardy is no longer the same. In our house we watch the. We always watch the final Jeopardy question, because right after Jeopardy came everybody's favorite show, wheel of Fortune. Pat Sajak has been hosting Wheel of Fortune since the 80s over 40 years. It was announced recently that he had filmed his final episode of Wheel of Fortune as a host. What a legend, what a legend, what a legend. So this Golden Trout is like a lifetime achievement award from us for all of our lifetime of watching him. He's been on that show longer than you and I've been alive.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, it's crazy to think about.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and so this goes out to you Pat Sajak and Vanna White. I don't know if Vanna's staying or not. I thought I read she's sticking around. Yeah, but it's hard to say, just Pat Sajak.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's a one, two punch. Yeah, it's a one, two combo.
Speaker 1:I wonder if they hate each other. That'd be hilarious. Regis and Kathy Lee yeah, regis and Kelly was so weird, but I think it's.
Speaker 2:Ryan.
Speaker 1:Seacrest taking over? Yeah, I think I heard that too. So what isn't that dude got his hand in Casey Case? Pat Sajak Regis Philbin.
Speaker 2:Dick Clark yeah, he's probably anything ABC related he's probably their go to Also Wild Conspiracy, harry.
Speaker 1:What if Ryan Seacrest is killing all these guys off?
Speaker 2:What if he's like absorbing them?
Speaker 1:Like Alien type stuff.
Speaker 2:Think about it, bill Regis Billman, yep, dick Clark, dick Clark, dick Clark was not good at the end.
Speaker 1:No, pat Sajak. We'll probably never hear from him again.
Speaker 2:No, it's because after Ryan. Seacrest takes over, he'll start absorbing them. Pc Kazem yeah Is Ryan. Seacrest takes over, he'll start absorbing him, yeah is Ryan Seacrest, the entertainment version of Monstars that's a damn good point now I'm concerned.
Speaker 1:Hopefully we make a big one day and they tell us Ryan Seacrest wants to take over. But just don't take my skills. You can have my show instead of a basketball.
Speaker 2:it's a microphone. Yeah, he just goes up to him and he's like, hey, touch this.
Speaker 1:Can you speak in the microphone, and then it sucks your soul out, like Ursula does for Ariel.
Speaker 2:Dude, I'm telling you.
Speaker 1:Oh man, I got so many.
Speaker 2:But yeah, good, huge, shout out Pat Sajak man Riding off into the sunset. Do you think Wheel of Fortune paid for a vacation for him? I hope so, a four day, three night cruise To the Bahamas you know what would be hilarious is if they go hey Pat, go ahead.
Speaker 1:And whether it's pick W-H-E-E-L from the tabs, spin the wheel whatever it is. Solve the final puzzle.
Speaker 2:Oh, the final puzzle should be thank you, Pat.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it makes sense, but I would make it like a before and after, hmm, or something random. Yeah, it makes sense, but I would make it like a before and after or something random, so that way he screws it up and they can be like no, you're wrong, get out of here with your free vacation, or something I don't know.
Speaker 2:I would do something hilarious. I got another golden trail. It's going out to Mark and his team. At the Great Media Comic Con they put on a heck of a show. Mark was a guest on our show. It was a great time. Took the father-in-law Plenty of vendors. You got to see a DeLorean up close and personal. That was pretty badass, I'm not going to lie. They even had the Mr Fusion blender in the back. It was down up to the T Met Claudia Wells and she was like wow, you have a really nice voice. And I was like, thank you, I do a podcast. And she goes yeah, you should. And I was like thank you, it was very weird. Did she ask for your number?
Speaker 1:No, she didn't. She asked about what podcast it was.
Speaker 2:I was afraid to talk to her because it was like $60 an autograph and I was afraid the little palm credit card reader was going to come out after I got done talking to her and she'd be like, alright, that would be $30. I didn't want that.
Speaker 1:Nope, nope Makes no sense.
Speaker 2:But yeah, huge shout out to those guys. I can't wait for next year's hope Mark will come back on and we can talk again oh yeah, I'm ready to have Mark back on here and I get ready for comic-con 2025.
Speaker 1:See who's gonna bring out their spoiler alert. I heard the Ninja Turtles are gonna be there.
Speaker 2:Hey, cannot confirm nor deny. I did see Batman and Robin. Yeah, I got my picture.
Speaker 1:All right, man, I'm in All right. And last golden truth. Look, we've had three weeks of waiting. I've had three weeks of these sitting in my hip pocket, hip holster, speaking about in your holster there's a Miracle Off Ice, the movie Miracle On Ice, miracle Off Ice, cleveland, ohio, o-h-o. No, but in this case it's okay. So a man named Andrew sits down to watch a minor league hockey game and a woman, asia, and her four, her four year old son, sit next to him. Now he has two seats and the four year old is running around all rambunctious and the man sat there by himself. He was very cordial to the kids and his mom is just soaking up the atmosphere of a minor league hockey game. Minor league hockey, bro, we got minor league hockey here. I'll get to that in a minute.
Speaker 1:Loose puck goes into the stands. When you're at these live sporting events head on a swivel, especially hockey and baseball, you can get hit with a puck and or ball at any time. Stick, bat, you name it. The gentleman who's sitting there watching it puck goes going beeline straight for this four-year-old's head and out of nowhere he just deflects it like protect the dude, deflects the puck away and the mom did not realize she's filming the game, she's filming her son, she's in the moment and there's no way she would have got to protecting her son that quick. So Andrew just breaches, reaches over, stops the puck. Legitimately we can say this probably saved the kid's life, if not saved him a lot of tears. Huge shout out yeah, that's huge. So I'll make that. One quick and sweet golden trout goes out there, andrew. Pot of lack from Ohio.
Speaker 2:Saturday's from Ohio, but good job good job, buddy.
Speaker 1:Now, like honorary, golden trout, goes out to Just minor league hockey, because it's awesome.
Speaker 2:I've never been to a minor league Hockey game.
Speaker 1:Okay, next time you're in town and, uh, hockey season Is going on here, we're going to mud bugs game. That's right, they're called the mud bugs. The mud bugs. Okay, my friend Gator's About to show up, but I had to shut that down real quick, like crawfish. Right or up there crawdads yeah, some people call them mud bugs, and so their mascot is a giant crawfish. His name Claude Claude C-L-A-W-E-D. Claude.
Speaker 2:Claude C-L-A-W-E-D. Claude Claude. Okay, yeah, like Jean we went to the game.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like Jean-Claude, we went to the playoff game Saturday night against the El Paso Rhinos. All right, it's a random combination. Yeah, first off, I love going to the Saturday games. When there's two games Friday and Saturday, go to the Saturday game, because if they fight Friday night or get a game misconduct, they can't play Saturday. If they fight Saturday, they can still play the next game on Friday. The following Friday Fist of Cups come out Saturday night.
Speaker 1:We had decent seats close to the glass Playoffs and we left with only a couple minutes left in the third because we had the girls with us.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Getting late. We're like mud bugs up two to one. Let's just start getting out of here. And the rainstorm was rushing in, and you know how I feel. I don't like leaving sporting events early. Nope, I would rather just sit in the parking lot for an hour afterwards, just so I don't miss a minute of the game. But with kids, life changes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, sabrina and I were talking on the way home. I wonder who won. Couldn't find it on the radios and stuff. I get home and I start looking. I was like, oh, in the two minutes of game time left, el Paso scores 2-2. Harry, it went into the fifth overtime. Oh no, sabrina and I were like thank goodness we left. If it had been just her and I, by all means, it's fine, but having two girls under three with us they would have been sleeping, or something you essentially got.
Speaker 2:There was two games of hockey played.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, yeah, we paid for one and then the other one was free. You can buy one and get one. Yeah, and there's beers. They still serve beers. No, they stop serving beer Halfway through the third period. Yeah, legally they can't, because you they. Halfway through the third period. Yeah, legally they can't, because you never know when the game's going to end. When it's sudden death which I mean my elite team, he probably sweet talk somebody.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure president Jackson goes pretty far, he goes pretty far down here.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying? The mud bugs there.
Speaker 2:Okay, buddy, I passed it twice this weekend, this past weekend, when I went camping down in the slower lower Delaware.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I passed over international speedway and guess where we're going this weekend by we NASCAR. I don't know when are we going. We're going this weekend by NASCAR. I don't know when are we going. We're going to Dover.

Speaker 2:It's not as much point wise as I was hoping for.
Speaker 1:Yeah, only a 50 point difference. And actually I think who did I take last week? Yeah, Last week was my second worst points race of 20 points of the season. It's not good.
Speaker 2:Not great. Not great. I'd go first this week, you do, and I am going to take a 5-4, ty Gibbs.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I knew that was coming. I knew you were going there. Oh man, I don't have Do I do it Harry.
Speaker 2:You do whatever you feel is right to put you back in the winner's circle, because you're on the outside looking in buddy, do I bring out the big gun?
Speaker 1:now. The choice is yours, kyle Larson.
Speaker 2:Alright, that's. That's fair. Yeah, that's completely fair.
Speaker 1:That's alright I wanted to save him for two weeks from now. You know what, harry, real quick. Speaking of Kyle Larson, I want to hand out our 27th Golden Trout Of the week. This week it goes out to Hendrix Motorsports the Five Squad, kyle Larson's ride for their throwback paint scheme Coming up for Darlington. Now I'm not sure where Darlington is. There's two years.

Speaker 2:It's yours, whatever social media platform I find a video clip of this car on. I send it to you because that's how beautiful it is. We talked about it on episode five. Yes, the red and yellow, white Kellogg's Corn Flakes car driven by Terry Labonte Same paint scheme, sponsored by Hendrixcarscom, of course, and it is a work of art. I'm not big into diecasts. I might have to get this one.

Speaker 2:Yeah, junior winning the 600 2001.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Okay, okay.
Speaker 2:That's probably number one for me.
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 2:Number two would have to just be the black three Just a simple if I could find one with a red interior, that'd be even better. We have made way better the black three. Just a simple If I could find one with a red interior, that'd be even better. Yep way, even better. And then Kyle Larson, Cornflakes.
Speaker 1:The five car. Yeah, very interesting top choices. I don't know how we're getting on this tangent here. Yes, the Pepsi 400 2001 Dale Jr Baseball All-Star Game game car because of that race and everything. Yes, number one, just spitballing here, not going too deep. Number two is the 2014 dale jr daytona 500 car with the national guard, because of the gold chrome numbers the the 88 gold chrome. That's what sold it for me and Kyle Larson's number five.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You were huge. I remember this very distinctly. You were a huge Terry Labonte fan.
Speaker 2:Right, it was cool because I was number five for baseball, T-ball, and there was a number five car on the track and I just associated with it so strongly All that, and it's sponsored with cereal, so we both really enjoyed that. Yeah, even if it was just plain old cornflakes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, huge fan, so I'm really excited for whenever that Darlington race is. No, I'm going to share it to our page. I don't care.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm going to hold on to Kyle Larson for that race. I would. It's safe, because now you already used him, you have to use him, and now I can just put him in my back pocket and hold on, just save him for a rainy day.
Speaker 1:I had to use him now. Yeah, you did. I regret it, but I should have used them or shouldn't have used them. Anyway.
Speaker 2:Don't regret it. No one regretted who they voted on, our favorite captain's bracket, paul. It's been three weeks, hundreds of votes.
Speaker 1:We got all the votes in from all social media. Hundreds of votes, a lot of tallying, a lot of math. I validated my math Like Santa Claus. I checked it twice.
Speaker 2:All right, buddy, the floor is yours. What do we have?
Speaker 1:Let's start on the right-hand side, where we have Captain Kirk versus Captain Jack Sparrow. Do you think Jack is short for something, or his parents named him Jack? His birth certificate says Jack.
Speaker 2:I'm pretty sure his name is Jack that makes sense.
Speaker 1:Well, with 77% of the votes, captain Jack Sparrow is moving on to the finals, that final round.
Speaker 2:Not surprised.
Speaker 1:Nope, I'm pretty sure a lot of people had him in there. But now, harry, now the matchup, nobody really knows about. This one here is a little heavy hitter. A little left, a little right, a little Mic check. A little left, a little right, a little mic check. Is this thing on? We have Captain America, which actually true story is loosely based off me, versus Captain Sully, which, once again, true story is not based on either one of us. One is an American warfighting machine and the other one is an airline pilot. It's 62% of the votes, harry, captain. Now, this one was tight, harry, like only 62. But 62% of the votes are going with captain. I don't know who you went for, harry. I really don't know where you went, but this one was tight. Captain sully's. Moving on, what? Yes, the sully meister beat captain america.
Speaker 2:Beat Captain America. What is life? It's your favorite. Yeah, more people like Captain Sully than Captain America According to the hundreds of votes.
Speaker 1:we got what?
Speaker 2:is that? Do we have a Cinderella story here, or what?
Speaker 1:I think we have a 1985 Villanova NCAA bracket Cinderella coming at you. We have for the finals the last matchup. They're lacing up those gloves tight. It is Captain Jack Sparrow versus Captain Sully.
Speaker 2:This is so random.
Speaker 1:It's so random dude, I'm not even mad, I love it.
Speaker 2:I'm not mad, I'm just so confused.
Speaker 1:The chaos is going to be good.
Speaker 2:Chaos is weird. This is why I don't know what to say.
Speaker 1:There's nothing you can say. You just got to live your life, man.
Speaker 2:Captain Jack Sparrow versus Captain Sully For the just got to live your life man.
Speaker 1:captain jack sparrow versus captain sully for the championship of all championships, a favorite captain.
Speaker 2:Okay, alright, guys. So be on the lookout for the championship round Of everyone's favorite captain between Captain Jack Sparrow and Captain Sully, which still feels weird to say. But we gotta move on, buddy. As much good that happened While we were away, eels also happened. Eels will happen every single day. You can't have away. Eels also happen. Eels will happen every single day. You can't have trials without eels Goes, without saying. That being said, tonight is actually a crazy busy night. You got the first night of the NFL draft Whoop, whoop. Currently on pick what? 18-19? 18 Bengals Pick is in. Pick is in for the Bengals.
Speaker 2:You got game three for the Sixers Playoff basketball, go Sixers. And I'm giving my first yield to the reffing. In game two in New York against the Sixers. It was atrocious Multiple fouls missed, multiple timeout attempts. When a head coach tries to call timeout and gets blatantly ignored, I have a problem. Do you want to miss a foul or two? That's understandable. Do you want to let them play out? That's understandable, I get that. But when a head coach makes eye contact with a ref calling for a timeout and it gets blatantly ignored, that's when I have a problem. It costs us the game and I have an issue with that.
Speaker 1:No, I really I have an issue with it as well, especially when the NBA puts out that two-minute report. Thanks to Donahue. Shout out Delco for developing and producing a cheating ref for the NBA Delco.
Speaker 2:Delco.
Speaker 1:Delco Delco, but because of him there's a two-minute report. Yeah, and they came out and even said blatantly yep, the timeout was missed and there's two fouls that were missed. So basically six won the game. Would have won the game if rest would do their job right. They stopped I get what you got to put that report out for. But he wanted him to stop because now you're getting your hopes up. Hey, are you gonna reverse those calls and be like cool six to get the ball? They're gonna call call time. Let's run the clock Up by four, or all the Villanova guys is going to team up against Philly and be like come on, man.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry. This isn't a regular season game with missed calls. This is the playoffs. It's the what it's the playoffs. We're talking about playoffs. It's what it's the playoffs. We're talking about playoffs. We're talking about playoffs.
Speaker 1:Talking about playoffs, and I get it. There's a lot of calls that were missed and that the turnover, with Hart hitting that three dagger, and I know it wasn't. Oh, the Vin consento D Villanova, the get out of here.
Speaker 2:I don't like it. What do you got?
Speaker 1:I'm going to stick basketball but I'm going to stay at college. But John Calipari going to Arkansas I'm giving that my going from Kentucky, getting eliminated early in the bracket yet again. And he goes to Arkansas. And the more you read about it, the more you think Arkansas. Why would you go? Who? John Calipari is a big time basketball coach. What sense do you have in Arkansas? Two reasons Jerry Jones and Walmart. Between their billions of dollars, they convinced John Calipari to come be the head basketball coach of Arkansas. That's just weird to me. That's why I gave it a deal. It's just weird. Why does Jerry Jones care about Arkansas basketball? He's an Arkansas alum. That's why a lot of times he'll draft dudes that went to Arkansas just because they're Arkansas alum. I have pity on.
Speaker 2:Dallas fans.
Speaker 1:After a while you got to feel bad for them.
Speaker 2:You do.
Speaker 1:You know what, Harry? I got an eel. I got to jump in this one. This one really gets under my skin. I wish I had a backpack full of eels ready to hand out at all times. This goes out to the people that talk on speaker phones in public. Nobody cares about your conversation. Be a normal human being and put that thing to your ear.
Speaker 2:I have not and never understood that no.
Speaker 1:In public. No, like my truck, I plug my phone in. I have the Apple CarPlay Every single day. If I have the girls, I call Sabrina. Yeah, if she has the girls and we're all heading home, she calls me Every single day and so it's speakerphone so we can talk to the kids. If I'm at home cooking and I'm doing stuff, yeah, I'll put my phone on speaker because I need both hands. Home cooking and I'm doing stuff, yeah, I'll put my phone on speaker because I need both hands. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever in this world that, as you're walking around Walmart, that you need to be on speaker phone just yelling about your doctor's appointment.
Speaker 2:Because it's happened.
Speaker 1:I don't understand it.
Speaker 2:Irritates the life out of me. Yeah, it's one of those. It's not necessary what are you doing?
Speaker 1:You remember the old Nextel days? Yeah, chirping. If you were chirping me, I would turn it off speaker and put it to my ear and walk around like it was a normal phone if I'm in public. But also I really respect my own privacy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's my thing too. It's like you don't need to hear my conversation.
Speaker 1:I don't want you to listen to my conversation, just like I don't want to listen to yours.
Speaker 2:No, I don't give a gosh, darn fig Newton, whatever it is, unless you're, you're spilling the winning lottery numbers and you're not, I do not care, do?
Speaker 1:you have dirt on what team is going to lose and why. Because the quarterback and his girlfriend broke up. Sure, I'll take that. Edie's mama causes some drama at church, I don't care, we don't go to the same church. I literally just want to go to Walmart here and go grab my produce for the next three days and get out of here Get out of my way at the self-checkout line. That's it. It drives me insane.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's embarrassing, it's wild. It's wild, but it is not as wild as these next stories. Paul, it is time for PWN Paul's Weird News. Here is your host.
Speaker 1:Paul, hello, harry, out here on the streets, I've been sitting here, sweating, waiting. It's been three weeks Just hanging out on the streets. As Adele once said, I miss you, but we have a remedy for that. Let's start with our first weird news A missing dog. He's been missing for nine months, the length of time it takes to produce a baby. He turns up and he is 2,000 miles away from home, from California to Michigan, of all places. What's the end? Why would you go to Michigan? Probably cause it's better than Ohio Fair and also it was a terrier mix. So who knows what kind of dog this thing is A Mishka Russian, a hundred percent Russian. She went missing from San Diego mid JulyJuly Last year. The owners put out on social media please help me, I've lost my dog. And then you fast forward nine months later, right before Easter. This is how long we've been off the air, harry.
Speaker 1:Right before Easter, authorities in a suburb of Detroit responded to a call about a stray dog. There's a stray dog roaming around outside Detroit thinking you know what? I watched this movie called Eight Mile, I think B-Rabbit. I could handle him. So of course the cops pick up the dog. They scan. Everybody's chipping their dogs nowadays Scanning. They were like, oh wow, the owners live in San Diego. I wonder if, what if? They moved here, just never updated their address. Hey, let's go ahead and call this number. And they're like oh snap, you are in San Diego. So how long was this dog in Detroit? Did he just like the day they saw him? Was that the dog's first day in Detroit? Or did he get from San Diego to Detroit pretty quick and just hang out there? But either way, that's a long way for a dog, and nine months. What is it eating? How did he get there? On foot chevro legs? That is weird. Probably hitchhiked, Stuck out his thumb. Big rig comes on down. Hey there, partner, you need a ride. It's the old movie Benji.
Speaker 1:Oh, never seen it I think it's a movie I'm thinking about. The dad is a field goal. Kicker Never wears a shoe Nope, probably a different movie.
Speaker 2:I got nothing here, buddy.
Speaker 1:All right, harry, now let's move from San Diego in Detroit, united States. Let's move all the way out to Poland. The skeleton of a woman was discovered in Poland. Oh cool, yeah, in Poland they have skeletons all the time. How about this, harry? It was the skeleton of a woman who was suspected of being a vampire in the 17th century was found in Poland. A padlock was found with the remains. Archaeologists in Poland discovered a skeleton of a woman suspected of being a vampire in the 19th century. Harry, what is going on? There's vampires being found nowadays. I didn't have this on my 2024 bingo card, nope, a padlock was found with the remains. It was thought to prevent a vampire from returning from the dead. There is a padlock on the skeleton. Are they going to look at her teeth?
Speaker 2:Yeah, how did they assume she's a vampire?
Speaker 1:Because they had a padlock on her. I don't know, maybe there's notes. And also, at what time does it go from archaeology to grave robbing or grave robbing to archaeology?
Speaker 2:That's a fine line, man. Yeah, digging up vampires, archaeology.
Speaker 1:But seriously, it's terrifying. What if they're starting a new Twilight series now Because they found a 17th century vampire?
Speaker 2:You ever seen Twilight? Yes, never seen them.
Speaker 1:Pretty much. It's four and a half. It's a five movie series. Four and a half of the movies are building up to the greatest scene ever. Okay, and like these romantic movies, for it ought to be weird. It's weird, but I will say there's a huge battle at the end of the last movie, which was awesome. Really it was a COVID thing. Sabrina does this birthday month, so for 28 days we had to watch movies. So we watched all five Twilight, 187 episodes of One Tree Hill for her birthday month. It starts in January. Her birthday is in July. Yeah, we watched all of Twilight and all the Harry Potter movies. Yeah, I do like Harry Potter. Yeah, she has watched the first two Rocky movies, so that's good. Oh, there you go. There's only like 8 of them.
Speaker 2:I got it.
Speaker 1:I got, it, I got it.
Speaker 2:I got Ange to watch the movie Country Bears. Yeah, she, she didn't like. Fun fact, I don't think a lot of people know about the movie country bears no our listeners.
Speaker 1:Do we talk about a couple episodes ago?
Speaker 2:yeah, it's still a great movie christopher lloyd one of his top 10 Emmy nominations.
Speaker 1:That's up there. That's above Doc Brown, Without question. But I really want to go find we're Back Now a dinosaur story.
Speaker 2:Such a great movie.
Speaker 1:I can't stop thinking about it ever since I mentioned it. But that's it. That's all my weird news I had after the last three weeks, because I can't get over those two. So that's it for me. Back to you with Studio T.
Speaker 2:Thanks, dude, dude, it wasn't Christopher Lloyd, christopher Walken, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:He plays an evil banker.
Speaker 2:He's trying to take the Country Bear Jamboree. We cannot let that slide.
Speaker 1:The Christopher Walken is the one impression I wish I could do.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm not even going to try, because I wouldn't talk any other way. No.
Speaker 1:I think that's why I mean what'd you see?
Speaker 2:That's not it. You're talking to my boy, all wrong.
Speaker 1:I'm going to have to stab you in the face with a saw or not. Keep practicing a little bit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just keep practicing it. In my head it sounded good. Buddy, let's pack it up. God knows, we have enough to cover. Oh, we do.
Speaker 1:Speaking of packing it up, harry, it is a even year, it is a leap year, and you know what that means. Olympics, summer Olympics Now they always keep adding it up. We discussed they're going to have flag football in 2028, possibly they always have baseball, softball. There's always something new right? Remember when they added skateboarding to the Olympics? That was groundbreaking Because we no longer had just the X Games. Yes, x Games are awesome. Even as a dog, I still watch it. Remember when we went to the X Games? I do remember, in 99, 2000? They were in Philly.
Speaker 2:We went downtown and we went to the X Games.
Speaker 1:I do remember In 99, 2000? They were in Philly. We went downtown and we went to Hooters and met. Did we meet Travis Pastrana? I?
Speaker 1:remember we met somebody big Travis, yeah, and he was like man. You guys are like the two coolest dudes I know. Yeah, one part of that whole thing was true. Yeah, one part of that whole thing was true. Aside from skateboarding in the X Games, the 2024 Olympics will be featuring a new sport with a question mark, sport with I'm confused breakdancing. It's busting its way into the Olympics for the first time.
Speaker 2:So what started in the Bronx in the 1970s is now an Olympic sport. It's badass, that is so badass. All right, so that's awesome and I don't want to skip by it. But what is a sport and I'm going to use the term sport loosely you want to see added to the Olympics?
Speaker 1:Oh, I don't know. Think about this. You really put me on the spot here. Sport a cornhole. I was thinking cornhole. Shuffleboard, tabletop, not ground, okay, slam ball.
Speaker 2:Slam ball.
Speaker 1:Let's go back to episode like 8 Slam ball.
Speaker 2:Dude, I'm telling you, I think cornhole might be the move.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think cornhole might be, because they're getting their own association. But then again, what is that? One where you got the little trampoline and the ball you got to smack to each other? Yeah, spikeball, spikeball. I just literally said the name Hand jam.
Speaker 2:What's the game? Where you have to spike the ball onto the mat and what game do I really want to see?
Speaker 1:Uh, flip cup yeah.
Speaker 2:No, I think.
Speaker 1:Cornhole, I think would be there. Give it a couple years. Yeah, without question. Dodgeball Going from Paris Olympics. Let's jump over to Sacramento, california. We're a porch pirate, harry, a porch pirate. Are you familiar with porch pirates?
Speaker 2:I am, I am.
Speaker 1:They're getting sneakier. This one, dressed up as a trash bag, to steal a package worth $10.
Speaker 2:I don't understand porch piracy and I'll tell you why. One people are going to steal it as what it is. My thing is you don't know what you're stealing. Yeah, because I'll let you know now and I'll let everyone know this. Most of the time, the biggest boxes that get delivered to us are cat litter.
Speaker 1:It doesn't make the most sense. Same with us, the big box is dog food once a month, so what are you rolling the dice on?
Speaker 2:You're willing to do jail time for my toothbrush?
Speaker 1:Or what about doing jail time For Omar's $10 A phone?
Speaker 2:chargers. Okay, first off, you can never have too many chargers. So I completely Understand. I get it.
Speaker 1:But he spent $10, got two phone chargers and somebody disguises A trash bag on his front porch. Stole them, sacramento not Florida Sacramento.
Speaker 2:disguised as a trash bag on his front, porch stole them Sacramento, not Florida Sacramento.
Speaker 1:Sacramento is the Florida of California.
Speaker 2:There it is.
Speaker 1:Actually, once you get a couple hundred miles off the coast not a couple hundred miles you get an hour off the coast, you're couple hundred miles. You get an hour off the coast, You're in dead center of California. I have to spend a lot of time there where there's no palm trees, just straight desert. That is California, that part of California is Florida.
Speaker 2:I've also heard California constantly wants to break off into pieces. So that makes sense Because the whole state doesn't necessarily agree. Again, not to get political, but like they don't agree with each other, so like we should break off and just be our own state.
Speaker 1:I've heard anywhere from two to five different states.
Speaker 2:That's fair.
Speaker 1:Do what feels good, guys, I don't care. Just let me know how many stars I gotta add to my flag.
Speaker 2:No, I gotta buy a new flag, I swear. That's why we haven't added a new state in a while. Yeah, it's probably because we're like how are we gonna add it to our? It's a lot of money to change a lot of things.
Speaker 1:I gotta give kudos to the thief here for disguising themselves as themselves. We don't know who it is. It's a trash bag and it wasn't until they got away with it. They got away with it? Oh, because Omar went back and was like I think it was delivered. Let me check my security camera and he's like I don't remember that trash bag. He got to see the trash bag waddled up to his porch and sit down and then got package delivered and they picked up the package and wandered away.
Speaker 2:He was sitting there when the delivery man delivered the package. Yes, waiting no, he knew Omar was getting something that day that makes it 10 times thousands better. Mm-hmm, he was breathing his recycled-ass air. Yeah, waiting for phone chargers.
Speaker 1:Now imagine if Omar's package didn't get delivered that day. And then Omar comes up Dang, did I take the trash to the curb today? All right, boom, there's a body in there.
Speaker 2:Wow.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:I don't remember what it was, but it came in a brown Amazon envelope and it said delivered, and it was something important, like we needed it. But it said delivered. And I went outside and I live in a twin and our packages get there, sent to their house and right. And I look at, and our packages get there, sent to their house and Right, and I look at the picture, I zoom in. It's there. Three out of our four packages were there. This brown envelope was not and I'm looking Take about, walk about halfway down the block and I find it on the side of the road, blew away. Oh, I was ready to fight someone, I'm like, who steals one package. Yeah, if you're going to take packages, take them all. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was something super important for the wedding and I was like what is life?
Speaker 1:Yeah, what is going on. No, it makes most sense now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was halfway down the street. It's like having our security cameras.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what ended up saving us. Yeah, like I was, we were putting the girls in bed and some random guys knocking on my door today. I'm not going to answer it because I'm putting girls in bed. Yeah, if it's important, come back or write me a note.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, what are you trying to sell me bud At seven o'clock at night? Yeah, I don't like that. I don't need your drugs. Yeah, I was going to say you answer that phone, that door, one way, and one way only. Yeah.
Speaker 1:No pants.
Speaker 2:Anyway, anyway, buddy, this has been fun.
Speaker 1:Oh man, I'm so glad to be back. I'm glad that I got the lead walls fixed. I'm glad I got my wi-fi fixed. I'm glad I'm not working nights. I'm glad that you were working with us. By us, I mean me and the show and our fans that keep everything going. We had a huge some social media, though we did, which was great.
Speaker 2:We unveiled our new cover art. I love it For our episodes. We worked really hard on that.
Speaker 1:Yep, if we were developing a rap album. That would be the cover.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I came up with the design and I was happy with it. And then the good team we are, you said, hey, why don't we just do this one little thing? And it made all the world of difference and it really was a team effort to come out with this and I think it's going to look really good. I think it looks really good. I can't wait to see it on my vehicle.
Speaker 2:On your Apple CarPlay, my Apple CarPlay, thank you. Yeah, I can't wait to see it on your Apple CarPlay my Apple CarPlay, thank you. Yeah, I can't wait to see it on the Apple CarPlay the logo. I'm super excited. You have no idea. We worked stupidly hard on that yeah Hours, but we got it accomplished. We do have it accomplished. We have a couple more things in the work. Yeah, dude, nothing but up from us. Thank you to everyone that continued to listen to older episodes while we were off. I really appreciate that.
