Tune in to celebrate our 75th episode, as we draw whimsical parallels between our podcast journey and Arkansas’s 75 counties. Paul kicks things off with a weekend tale of family fun among historic aircraft, while Harry recount a doctor’s appointment that somehow morphed into a compound bow showdown. Prepare for a vibrant mix of athlete nostalgia as we chat about our favorite number 75s in sports, alongside a Thanksgiving side dish bracket that’s heating up just in time for the holidays.
The episode takes you on a rollicking ride through the storied careers of NFL icons like Deacon Jones and Howie Long, touching on brotherly bonds as we compare the Long and Kelsey siblings’ on-field exploits. From the baseball diamonds of the Montreal Expos to the checkered flag of NASCAR with Fireball Roberts, we sprinkle in tales of sports legacies.

Amidst the laughter, we spotlight heartwarming acts of kindness that prove generosity never goes out of style. From sacrificing wedding funds to save a canine life to kids sharing Halloween cheer, these stories renew our faith in humanity. We also tackle the comedic chaos of cooking a Thanksgiving turkey, ponder the oddities of a historical auction with presidential relics, and even critique a Jake Paul and Mike Tyson bout marred by streaming snafus.

Speaker 1:We talked about it in like 70, 71, 75 is a huge milestone.
Speaker 2:I don't know why.
Speaker 1:Three quarters of a century.
Speaker 2:Buddy, how was your weekend? Harry, this weekend was a great weekend. We got up early Saturday, and by up early, I mean we were up and at them by like 7 o'clock on a Saturday. Oh, on base, they had a photo op with a plane on base. So we got dressed up in our fancy clothes, took a family picture in front of a B on base. So we got dressed up in our fancy clothes, took a family picture in front of a B-Fitted 2.
Speaker 1:Because you're not going to not You're not going to not.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we thought there was going to be a huge line so we got there early and it didn't take long at all Scan the QR code and I don't know how to get our pictures from it. Nice, but I got to deal with, you know, people in base about it, but we did that and so on base here there's a whole line of static aircraft, old retired airplanes that I you know on a stick. You know they don't move anywhere. So we walked around those for probably an hour or so but the three girls just taking photos, photo ops, in front of different airplanes I think one was a B-29, like World War II planes, modern planes Just taking a bunch of pictures randomly and letting the girls just run. But we turned it into a full day of like just holiday stuff, like just go have fun, it's the season, the first day we had to chill in the air, so it was like in the 60s and we just had a full, full saturday of fun tell me about your weekend, harry.
Speaker 1:Saturday morning had to wake up early and had a doctor's appointment. It's uh, about an hour away, so we went. There's actually an amazing breakfast spot. That's why I voluntarily go with her.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:She intentionally schedules it for Saturday. One because she'll know I'll drive and two, I get breakfast out of the deal. They were on like an hour and some weight and we were hungry at that point. So then we found another diner down the street. No wait, got right in 10 out of 10 breakfast. Really, when you think the good American typical diner breakfast, that's exactly what this was. Oh, coffee was good, food was good, food was good, everything was good. Everything was just spot on. Then we did some food shopping because Sunday we celebrated Thanksgiving with our longtime listener, andrew and his family yeah, katie and Steve and the kids. They had their little home, you know, their home base Thanksgiving before Andrew went to England Safe travels, buddy, he should be there by now. And yeah, we just hung out, had a great time. Shot a compound bow, took about three pounds of flesh off my forearm.
Speaker 2:There you go.
Speaker 1:Cutting down. Dude, I went. You ready for this, though? I went one for one. I hit my target. I hit the jack-o'-lantern right through the eye, right where I was aiming. So I shot the bow once, hit my target dead on, and I have a bruise the size of my forearm from the string slapping me.
Speaker 2:Oh, I don't think it's supposed to do that. No, that thing looks pretty gnarly.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to lie to you.
Speaker 2:I've seen some gnarly bruises and that's a Let me color commentary this for you. Imagine all the colors of the rainbow randomly mixed into a circle with a lot of purple and yellow.
Speaker 1:Every day I wake up I'm like, oh, what color is it going to be today? I kid you not. Every day this week I wake up and I look at it and go oh, what color is it?
Speaker 2:It's like Lucky Charms Like like oh, which one am I going to get today?
Speaker 1:Oh, well, buddy, have you ever gotten a bruise instantly? Yes, like I'm not. I'm not talking about like within a 15, I'm talking. Your body doesn't know what color to make the mark, so it's instantly blue.
Speaker 1:Oh no, I'm not, not had that before uh, that's exactly what happened, and like this is this is my buddy's good compound vote, like it's what he takes out deer hunting, yeah, so I'm in. I'm in 10 out of 10 pain. At that point, and all I kept saying was please take your bow, please take your bow, please take your. I didn't want to drop it, no 100.
Speaker 2:You don't want to drop that thing, but like you're also making sure it didn't like cut your arm off.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean I had enough sense to hold onto the boat, but he could not take it fast enough for me. No, oh no. Great weekend Super fun.
Speaker 2:Gotta love a good weekend. Every weekend is going to be busy, full of fun ideas. Just wait to our next these episodes coming up we have in my household over here we have things planned every single weekend from now until New Year's Good, bad and different, slightly exhausting it is, but it's for the kids. It's that time of year. It's going to be a great time, true, true, true, true.
Speaker 1:True that 75. 75. I go first because I won the championship. After this week we'll figure out something new. We always do. I do not have a 75, but here's a little change of pace for you I do have a 75th overall draft pick. Oh, okay, now the only reason I know of this draft pick is because he's playing tonight for the Pittsburgh Steelers, russell Wilson. Russell Wilson 75 overall 75th overall Seattle legend in Seattle absolutely until the whole Marshawn Lynch thing at the one yard line.
Speaker 1:I still think the NFL got involved in that they did. And then Broncos country, let's ride.
Speaker 2:He did not ride anywhere he he rode all the way to Pittsburgh, yeah he rode out of Denver.
Speaker 1:He's in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh's sitting at eight and two. A combination between him and Justin Fields seemed to be working out pretty well, although they are losing to the two and eight Browns as we speak. Right Handling. But that's it. That's all I got for 75, buddy.
Speaker 2:Sticking with the Pittsburgh Steelers talking about greats here, harry, not goods but greats. 1980. Main character for a Super Bowl commercial which started all Super Bowl commercials with three words hey kid, catch Number 75. On the defensive line, one of the meanest Iron Curtain members, mean Joe Green. I don't even have to look up his stats. When the dude has a commercial. He's in a commercial for the Super Bowl, a Coke commercial. You play on the defense of the Iron Curtain and your nickname is Mean. I don't need to go any further.
Speaker 1:No, if you're called Mean on the football field, you don't have to, you don't need stats. There's two Joes on the team. Hey, you don't have to. Right, you don't need stats.
Speaker 2:Hey, you know, it's like there's two Joe's on the team. Hey man, go see Joe. Which Joe mean? Joe, nope, not going to go see me, and Joe, I'm going to go see nice Joe Like obviously you've got a mean one. You gotta have a good one.
Speaker 1:I think it's a capital one commercial hit here to win the game and this guy stands up and he goes, not you, Derek.
Speaker 2:Other Derek and then it's Derek Jeter, not you, derek. He acknowledges.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're right. Okay, I'll sit down. But yeah, Mean Joe Green, absolutely.
Speaker 2:Sticking to NFL, sticking on defense, mainly staying on the defensive line. A primitive member of the Rams defensive line that were the beasts. Remember last week? Number 74, merlin Olsen. While playing right next to Merlin Olsen on the left-hand side, defensive line, deacon Jones. Okay, first off, your first name's, deacon Once again. Oh, he's going to be a nice guy. He's going to usher me down the aisle. He's going to talk to you on Sunday afternoons. No, you don't talk to Deacon Jones on Sunday afternoon. He talks to you with his helmet and shoulder pads. In the 70s they were forced to be reckoned with.
Speaker 1:You were praying, not because he was a deacon, but you were praying for your safety. Yeah, 100%.
Speaker 2:You were praying for your safety, dude. I want you to save all that for episode 92 because I have so many I can use. Oh man, one of the greatest nicknames of all time Deacon Jones, 75. Now Harry, a little drum roll here, because this is my number one favorite 75 of all time. I had a list of several, but I'm going to keep this list short. Favorite all time. Born and raised in Massachusetts, six foot five, 269 pounds, starting linebacker at Villanova University, and Villanova is located in which county Harry, delco Delco Delco, drafted by the Los Angeles Raiders. Number 75 on defense High and tight, flat top Howie Long. Defense, high and tight, Flat top Howie Long. I never realized how much of a beast Howie Long was until I got a little bit older. You hear stories, but when we were younger he started Fox NFL Sunday.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:Right. So we didn't know Howie as a player we talked about previously. There's a generation that didn't know Darrell Waltrip was a driver. There's going to be a generation that doesn't remember Dale Jr Jepper. You know current commentators.
Speaker 2:I never knew how he long as a player but I think one of the greatest facts about how long does it come on the field comes off the field. Uh, several years ago, when he missed his first NFL Fox NFL Sunday because his sons were playing against each other Chris Long playing for the Rams at the time Weird how Rams keep coming up on this show. That was Chris Long, his brother, kyle Long, offensive guard for the Chicago Bears. They were the Kelsey brothers before the Kelsey brothers. They have their own podcast and there's a Sunday where they literally went against each other, not just their teams but them One on offense, one offense line, one defense line and they literally were battling and Howie said I want to watch my boys play and Fox said absolutely bye. So they should have done it at the game. They should have had Fox Sunday at that game.
Speaker 1:But it's not college game day, you're not going to travel around and in a way, I kind of respect Fox Sports even more for that, for just saying, hey, man, go be a dad. Bye, go be a dad, go enjoy it. We're not going to bring the dog and pony show.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Bye, go, go enjoy it.
Speaker 2:Now I kind of wish there were AFC versus NFC. So the possibility of them going against each other in a Super Bowl. Could you imagine that stat? If Chris Long gets zero sacks, kyle's like hey, what's up, bro Gotcha. If Chris gets anything in the backfield, he's going to be like hey, what's up, hey, what's up. You know so? I always thought that was cool. They were the Kelsey brothers before the Kelsey brothers and now we were brothers before them. I think Were we? No, because you were born too late. I'm sorry, I'm older than both the kelsey brothers and you're younger than both of them they're like right, I am slow.
Speaker 1:I was telling someone the other day I was like. You know, I had two nicknames during baseball and it was either hammer or turtle. Yeah, because when I was doing great, I was the hammer right. When I was doing great, I was the hammer Right.
Speaker 2:When I was not doing so great, I was the turtle yeah, I had nicknames that I can't repeat on the show, and then I've got one draft pick, since you kind of flew under the radar and took one of my other ones. Hey, we're going to go to Major League Baseball, the MLB. I'm going to tell you a name, a year and a team that you're going to scratch your head at. Grady Sizemore was drafted in 2000 by the Montreal Expos. Oh man, a team that doesn't exist anymore. A player who retired feels like forever ago.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Spent some time in Philly, grady Sizemore. Did you know Tom Brady was the last professional athlete to retire who was drafted by the Montreal Expos. I did know that Very useless fact, very useless fact, but I love sharing it because it's like it shows the type of guy he was.
Speaker 1:Back to being quick in NASCAR buddy. Yeah, we don't have a season, but listen, the 75 cars raced 823 times and we are back in the win column with six wins, neil. Bonnet with four. And you ready for this? I'm ready.
Speaker 2:Fireball Roberts got one win. Hall of Famer Fireball Roberts. He's got more wins than one. I know the numbers. Oh, absolutely, he is down. Probably one of the best he's up there in best driver names.
Speaker 1:Absolutely Fireball. Come on, yeah, I mean that's either good or bad.
Speaker 2:Come on, either he's a shotty mechanic and he's got fireballs all the time, or he's really fast. He's quick.
Speaker 1:And then let's see, we got some actors who are 75. We have Eric Estrada, oh chips. Richard Gere, I didn't know he was that old, I didn't think he was that old. Patrick Duffy oh, big TV guy, I think, step-by-step dad, step-by-step dad, step-by-step dad, absolutely, if you recall from our America's favorite TV dad's bracket. And last, certainly not least, samuel L Jackson Ooh, sammy, 75, sammy, 75.
Speaker 2:I would love to have him on the show. He's one of those guys that like Samuel L Jackson. Ooh, sammy 75? Sammy 75. Man, I would love to have him on the show.
Speaker 1:He's one of those guys that I would love just to sit down and have a drink with him. Yes, without a doubt.
Speaker 2:Side fact did you know that he was a pallbearer for Martin Luther King Jr, samuel L Jackson? Yes, oh, he was a pallbearer for Martin Luther King Jr, samuel L Jackson. Yes, yeah, I was watching a thing about it where MLK's funeral was at Morehouse His HBCU that he went to no way, yeah, and then the last bit of number 75 to close it out here the 75th highest grossing movie of all time.
Speaker 1:I didn't see this one coming. Send it to me, let me hear it, I don't think you're ready. The Secret Life of Pets.
Speaker 2:I think it's one of the first movies we've mentioned in a while that I can honestly raise my hand and say I helped to get there. I don't think I've seen it. I bought two tickets to it, you and Ray, yeah, yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 1:It's a kid's movie Good movie, great movie. Yeah, that's fair, it's a kid's movie, good movie, great movie. I have a great movie, thanksgiving-related movie story on our Thanksgiving special I will bring up.
Speaker 2:That's it for 75, buddy, no NASCAR, it's over.
Speaker 1:Nope, nope, we gotta wait till February.
Speaker 2:I don't know what to do with my hands. You know. What you can do with those hands, harry, is you can go ahead and reach up there on that shelf, right behind you On the top shelf, grab the big shiny object and bring it over here, because I think it's time to hand out those golden trouts of the week. Harry, since I so politely cut you off right there, you know what to do with your hands. I know what I'm going to do with my voice. I'm going to tell everybody about this golden trout I got. Now let's move up. Short drive for me, a little bit longer for you. We're looking at about three, three and a half hours for me to go to central Arkansas when a man performed a selfless act of service and his soon to be bride and his bride you know, future bride and everything she follows suit.
Speaker 2:So on Halloween night recently, dylan not getting full name, just Dylan sitting there, like most of us do on Halloween night scrolling Facebook, ooh, a big snooze fest. What kind of holiday is this? Well, boring. When he saw a post that instantly grabbed his attention. We all get posts that grab our attention. It was an injured dog, abandoned side of the road, scared, needed help. That moment, harry, that moment right there on Halloween night forever changed Dylan's life. It marked the beginning of this amazing journey.
Speaker 2:So him and his fiancee hear about the dog and like pretty urgent situation. So this dude literally just jumped in his vehicle and went on a rescue mission. Like he sat there and was like no dog needs me. Somehow me and his dog are connected. So he finds out where his dog is. He's shivering, he's not doing well. As he gets closer the dog starts crawling up to him. So they cover him with blankets and take him to the hospital.
Speaker 2:Long story, very, very long story. Short is, this dog needs a lot of operations and procedures to fix it. So Dylan and his fiance say well, we have all this money coming in from our wedding. We're getting married here very soon, shortly after this they're getting married. So they took all their funds that they got as gifts from their wedding Boop. Here you go, vet. Here's my bill. I want this dog fixed. And now they're a happy-go-lucky family with a new golden doodle. So I think my golden trout goes out to Dylan and his now wife, because I think this is an amazing feat, unselfish act and good for you, dylan. This golden trout's to you, buddy, so check your mailbox.
Speaker 1:One's coming, I'm going to jump in with my golden trout. I see you're a couple and I raise you a town. Oh, in Woodhaven, michigan, this gives me chills. A group of kids went out for a normal night of trick-or-treating Obviously Halloween recently happened. But rather than take home all the treats themselves, they stopped to share with a friend who needed it more.
Speaker 1:Amy Schmidt and her son loved to dress up and hand out candy, but a medical emergency landed them in the hospital. Her son, loving Halloween said, wasn't feeling great, wasn't up for trick-or-treating, but he said hey, mom, I can dress up and hand out candy, I want to be a part of it. Unfortunately, he ended up in the hospital. His mom put up a sign saying hey, we're at the hospital. Sorry, no candy this year. So what did the kids do? They left their candy. Hmm, I was reading the article and the one dad stated that his daughter asked to go back out again. He said yeah, of course you're having the time of your life, let's go back out again. He said yeah, of course you're having the time of your life, let's go. She went out, collected again and left all of it for the Schmidt boy so he could have a good Halloween. So he could have a good Halloween. That's great man. That is fantastic. That is golden trout.
Speaker 2:That is why we talk about things like that yeah, we need to get a statue together. Oh, we should to get a statue together.
Speaker 1:Ooh, we need to dedicate a whole statue, a whole statue, there in the center of Woodhaven Michigan.
Speaker 2:Woodhaven, Michigan, is going to get you and I showing up with the pickup truck and trailer going hey, it's pretty much going to be like the statue of Chickaletta from Paw Patrol. Other parents out there are going to know what I'm talking about, except for it's going to be a golden trout right there in middle Woodhaven.
Speaker 1:No, I have no idea what you just said. Um, we don't allow cursing on the show, but I'll leave it in there.
Speaker 2:I trust you Okay. I got one last golden trout. This isn't man, I wish it's not as good as that, but right, it's not a competition, never a competition with golden trout.
Speaker 2:No, this goes out to. I left it out earlier when about my weekends, about kids fest here in the local region, the local credit union and another. Another organization called Every Warrior. Put it on, every Warrior is amazing. So we go there and there's a few carnival rides, but as you go inside there's these bouncy castles inside the convention center, bouncy castles as far as the eye can see.
Speaker 2:We lost Olivia for probably three hours, but the middle takes her shoes off, goes, say later, and just goes and you're like all right. So I'm kind of keeping an eye on her and Piper's going. You know, a little smaller Reg is doing her thing, but Olivia, olivia was having the time of her life. So we go in, we're checking the whole place out, and so we go in, we're checking the whole place out and they have hot dogs, pre-wrapped hot dogs, hot dog and a bun wrapped in foil. So I go like there's five of us, I can grab five hot dogs. You know everybody grabs one. You grab the condiments. They're like where do we pay? Like no, no, all this is free. So like sodas are free, hot dogs are free, ch Hot dogs are free, chips Every single thing there was free. No way, even entry was free. You just had to show proof of Right. It was for military first responder kids. That showed proof of it. All right, every single thing was free because of every warrior, to the point to where, like they, I've never seen this many hot dogs being cooked in one time. They had multiple Blackstones out there because they had people like rolling these hot dogs constantly to the end, somebody else bonding them, somebody else wrapping them in tinfoil, let's go. And they were like no, no it, it's all free. And like everybody can have two hot dogs, at least two hot dogs, if not. More Right, more right. We have way more than we need.
Speaker 2:And it was a firework show at the end. Whoa, yeah, dude, they uh, I did not know about it. Sabrina heard about it, you know. So we went. It was legit. I'm so legit that there was a giant. It was probably 50 yards inflatable no, we're not 50 yards, let's say 30, inflatable no, we're not 50 yards, let's say 30-yard. Inflatable obstacle course.
Speaker 2:And Olivia ran through this thing minimum of a dozen times. She has no fear. Now she gets to the end, big slide comes down. I want to do it again. We're standing there. I'm like man. The line is moving pretty quick here for her to keep going through this until we step back and watch. It's so funny.
Speaker 2:Like a three and a half year old is sprinting down next to this obstacle course, gets to the beginning and hooks a hard left 180. Doesn't even get to the back. There's like kids, there's these boys that are ranging from like 5 to 12 waiting to go through this thing. Here comes olivia, gets the end and like, does a 180? Cuts everybody off and they're supposed to be racing. Like if you're in line, it's two lanes, you're supposed to race the person next to you. She's not giving anybody a chance to race because she gets. She doesn't wait in line yet, she just gets back in the thing and takes off and then once we realize I'm olivia, what are you doing? Get back here. There's a boy he must have been like eight or nine goes. Hey, she just cut me up like he was crying about it. My brother, let she's. Let her just keep running circles. She's three, let her tire herself out. And she had a great time.
Speaker 1:That's so awesome. I mean, look, I'm glad she, you know, has no fear. Now, you know, just kind of work on the rules.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we got to start understanding. There's lines for a reason.
Speaker 1:They're not here to watch you, sweetie. I know it's awesome, but they're not here to watch you. They're not lining up to watch you.
Speaker 2:They're not. Let's just pay attention and do your job. Okay, stand in line sometimes.
Speaker 1:You know what people are lining up for, though. What's that? The results for America's favorite Thanksgiving side dish, bracket Buddy. We are down to the final four. Final four. I'm excited, but I'm also hungry.
Speaker 2:Okay, alright, okay, ladies and gentlemen, here we are Final four, four matchups. I want to say four teams, four side dishes. Then I'm probably going to have all four of them on my plate at one time Next week. Let's start with the left side. Left side, harry Strong's side is mashed potatoes going against green bean casserole. Over the left side Left side, higher Strong side is mashed potatoes going against green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, the Irish guacamole going against the mean Joe Green bean casserole. This one was tough. This one was tight. This was, this was Pittsburgh with mean Joe Green against mashed potatoes, which is basically even Browns Seventy four to twenty six against Mashed Potatoes, which is basically Cleveland Browns 74-26. Mashed Potatoes are moving on. I get it. Mashed Potatoes, they're good.
Speaker 1:I'm not happy about it. No, but I will continue to use the analogy. Close your eyes, think of a Thanksgiving dinner plate. What do you see? Yeah, 100%. They're always going to use the analogy. Close your eyes, think of a Thanksgiving dinner plate. What do you see? Yeah, a hundred percent. They're always going to see the taters Pain burn. Jelly Easy, kevin.
Speaker 2:I mean, there was one year I did have roast beef sandwich.
Speaker 1:Why roast beef and not roast Turkey? I?
Speaker 2:wasn't a fan of Turkey. Oh, and mom's mom didn't like turkey either. So there's one year that she bought roast beef and her and I had roast beef sandwiches and I was sitting at the kid table. She's at the adult table. I think we were roughly the same height and I was nine and I wasn't a big kid. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:You were the same height, Sorry that one took a second.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but her and I each had roast beef. And then I think it was next year where Dad yelled at me to at least try a turkey, and I was like I see what everybody's talking about now it does not taste like deli turkey.
Speaker 1:I do have my smoker right and and Mrs Taking care of Thanksgiving this year Right. I got curious and I started. I went down a turkey rabbit hole, if you will.
Speaker 2:Oh okay, Turkey hole.
Speaker 1:And I finally it was like my fourth or fifth video and finally this guy goes you ever have a Turkey so good that you remember it? I'm sitting there thinking I'm like I mean, I've had decent Turkey.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've had good turkeys.
Speaker 1:And as I'm sitting there thinking he goes no, I want you to really think and I'm like all right, this is kind of weird. He's like in my head, now he goes. I'm talking about memorable turkey. I was like I don't, I don't think I have because no one has, and I was like dude, please get out of my head.
Speaker 1:It was one of the craziest things. Like I'm sitting there thinking hard about it. I'm like I can never remember having a turkey that I'm. I've had great turkey. I've good, good turkey. Wow, yeah, this is good, but I've never had oh my.
Speaker 2:God, this is the greatest turkey of my life. Like I'm, I got my shoes on, but my socks get blown off out of my shoe. That good of Turkey.
Speaker 1:And he said that it finally like just stuck with me and he goes and you never will. Turkey is not that good. I don't disagree, Turkey's not that good. I don't disagree, it's just like dude, get out of my head. It's so weird, I did not like it. Like, as I'm having these thoughts, he's just answering them and I'm like all right, dude, this is I'm going to bed.
Speaker 2:That's somebody who knows his videos like number four In the queue of like turkey recipes. Oh yeah, he intentionally set the algorithm up to be like four or five. Like no, no, watch these other ones, come on, come on, don't worry, you'll get here and he'll say, hey, guess what? Turkey's not that great and you're just like dang. Come on, man.
Speaker 1:It's like the white and you're just like dang. Come on, man. It's like the white meat has to cook to like 160, 165, and then the dark meat has to cook to like 175, and how do you make it even without drying out the white meat? It's complicated and it's stressful and I was like man obviously I need someone more experienced at this. I mean, this guy was just like it's turkey, it's not complicated, just do what you can, and I was like all right, dude, this video could have been 13 seconds long and I just would have been like all right, dude, I get it.
Speaker 2:You guys are right. Set your oven to 400 degrees. Let it be in there for an hour per pound. It's going to suck anyway.
Speaker 1:You leave Time me. I'm still upset because mashed potatoes to me feel like any time side dish. It doesn't scream Thanksgiving to me.
Speaker 2:Literally we have them in my house, if not once a week, once every other week, I mean does paper have all her teeth? Yes.
Speaker 1:See, that's the. I don't know how babies work, man. I mean she has like all all her teeth. Yes, see, that's the thing. I don't know how babies work, man, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Okay, I mean she has like all of her two-year-old teeth, Like she doesn't have 32 teeth yet.
Speaker 1:When do you get more teeth?
Speaker 2:You got to grow into them Like they tease until like they're five. What, yeah, man? I thought they all just kind of like popped in. No, it's all your baby teeth and then your baby teeth at the fallout when you're.
Speaker 1:I know the baby tea thing, but oh so, like your baby, you could only have like 20 baby teeth and then they had to fall out to make room for the 32, 28, whatever it is.
Speaker 2:Yeah plus or minus wisdom.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, see, I don't have kids.
Speaker 2:I don't know anything about this. Listen, folks, not only learning about our brackets, we're learning about life in general how to cook turkeys. Anatomy of children's teeth. Welcome to the trial stream.
Speaker 1:It's a weird sorry. I'm so sorry but continuing. Don't apologize.
Speaker 2:Moving on who they face next week. Harry, let's go to the right side, strong side, stuffing First deviled eggs. Both are good, both take some good work, both need some TLC as they're being prepared. Yes, 60-40. I'm not going to tell you. I know who is going to win, I know who should win?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm going to tell you why deviled eggs should win. It's because they are the greatest side dish in the history of Thanksgiving. Yes, you know, the pilgrims had deviled eggs, but they did not have stuffing. Really, I don't know what made that up.
Speaker 1:It sounded legit, your confidence made that sound actual. You say anything with confidence boom.
Speaker 2:Done Right, because they used to put fish in the bottom of the hole and then put the corn on top to make the corn stronger and then, after they planted all that fresh corn, the Native Americans and the Pilgrims they split deviled eggs.
Speaker 1:If not, they should have.
Speaker 2:I mean I wish they did Stuffing basic stuffing. There is no such thing as instant deviled eggs. Hear me out. No Mashed potatoes. Instant Green bean casserole, not Stuffing instant Deviled potatoes. Instant Green bean casserole, not Stuffing instant Deviled eggs, not.
Speaker 1:Can you buy pre-made like in the frozen section? Can you buy green bean casserole you?
Speaker 2:probably buy 10 of it. That's what I'm saying Like a Marie Callender.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, stouffer's Nothing comes closer to home. Deviled eggs is the one thing you cannot buy at a store.
Speaker 2:No, you can buy them hard-boiled, you can't buy them deviled. But with that being said, yeah, harry, I see where your head's. At my last deployment they had deviled eggs right for breakfast, or not deviled eggs, they had hard-boiled eggs all the time. So people used to get the hard-boiled eggs, cut them in half, put the yolk. They'd bring plastic bags in their pocket and they would make their own deviled eggs.
Speaker 1:You just blew my mind. I think you just blew half of America's mind.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if you just put the yolk, a little bit of mustard, a little bit of mayo, throw some hot sauce inside that plastic bag, kind of knead it all up, mix it together, cut the end off.
Speaker 1:Buddy, we're not talking about deployment deviled eggs. I'm just talking about deviled eggs period.
Speaker 2:You could just buy boiled eggs yeah, buy hard-boiled eggs from Walmart at like six each.
Speaker 1:You son of a gun? Yeah, you can buy six-boiled eggs from Walmart at like six each.
Speaker 2:You, son of a gun. Yeah, you buy six pack of hard-boiled eggs. I don't know if they sell in 12 racks or higher.
Speaker 1:Well, costco does, I bought them.
Speaker 2:Of hard-boiled eggs. Yes, stop Like pre-peeled. Yes, two per pack. A little snack pack, sam's Club, let's go.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but think about how much easier deviled eggs just got. Yeah, that's what I'm saying no boiling, no cracking, no peeling. You know they're perfect.
Speaker 2:And yeah, they don't turn gray. Let me just put all my yolks in the food processor with my mixers. Did we just solve the problem of America?
Speaker 1:We just solved a huge problem in America. Live right now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Get in line at Sam's or Costco or BJ Wholesale and buy them hard-boiled eggs. Everybody deserves deviled eggs. With that being said, stuffing is moving on 60 to 40. Next week, Harry, it's basic the championship round, the final two matchups as basic as basic can be. This is Pilgrims and Native Americans. This is so many analogies I can use for basic Mashed potatoes versus stuffing for America's favorite Thanksgiving side dish.
Speaker 1:My heart says stuffing. I do think stuffing is, it's the one side dish that I mean. I don't know how it was for our parents growing up, or their parents growing up, stuffing. I don't know if you know what I mean. I don't know, but nowadays stuffing is the one side dish for one holiday, yeah.
Speaker 2:That's hard to beat Anytime you have a turkey, so it's Thanksgiving and or Christmas, right.
Speaker 1:Because some people have Christmas turkeys.
Speaker 2:My house I have a goose, just because Scrooge McDuck had a goose on Christmas. We continue the tradition. I've never had one, I just keep saying it repeatedly. So hopefully we have one one year. But right, so stuffing is Thanksgiving or Christmas. Everything else you have on Easter, except for stuffing.
Speaker 1:Did we answer this poll before the championship comes out? And, who knows, I thought deviled eggs was going to win. Did we answer the question when we asked it?
Speaker 2:I mean, I always ask that.
Speaker 1:Thanksgiving side dish. There's only one Thanksgiving side dish, but we shall see what America says.
Speaker 2:There's a lot Cranberry sauce. When do you have cranberry sauce besides Thanksgiving? Well, for me, never. I meant. America, not you, not Harry specifically, just America in general.
Speaker 1:That's true. That's another one.
Speaker 2:Like.
Speaker 1:I said, I feel like we might have answered the question.
Speaker 2:Yeah, polls are going to be out. Let's go Finals. We have Megan versus Laura. Winner gets the free trout stream swag. Head over to our Printify shop. Selfless plug See what other options we got out there.
Speaker 2:Holiday season is coming up. You got to get ordering soon to beat the holiday rush. Head to the links on our Facebook, instagram and X to visit our link tree. Head to Printify Shop. You can see the full catalog of all the Trout Stream swag in there. Find something you like. Holiday season's coming up. You want to get your orders in early and often before it gets too late. You want to make sure all of your TroutStream gifts get to your family members on time Because, harry, you know what happens when you, if you order something for somebody that gets there not in time for their holiday, you'll probably be eel worthy. Speaking of eels, harry, is that time of the week? It is that time it's time for everybody's least favorite people are favorite segment. It is the eels of the week. I'm going to go first here, because this one's more funny than it is eel-worthy. So have you seen those bicycles, harry, that have? I'm talking about a bike, not a motorcycle, a regular bicycle that have the engines on them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's an older gentleman. I'm not going to discuss my beliefs on why he has one, but he looks like someone that loves his apple juice but also doesn't like peddling a bike.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it kind of reminds me, but I it's like someone that loves his apple juice but also doesn't like peddling a bike. So, uh, yeah, yeah, it kind of reminds me of somebody I saw the other day. By the other day, I mean yesterday. We're sitting there, we're coming back the other day, we're all coming back. Sabrina needed gas in her car. We had two separate cars Because Both the littles had gymnastics Same day, but their times are 45 minutes apart. We both take separate vehicles. We hang out, we come back. We're at the gas station. I'm putting gas in her car, putting gas in my truck, and I hear I'm like dude, what two-stroke is that here? Like man, some kid, it's a very unique sound.
Speaker 2:Is there a kid riding a dirt bike around here? Because, like, I haven't seen a dirt bike around here. I've seen quads, I've seen side by sides, I've seen everything else. I haven't seen a dirt bike in a long time. I'm like, oh, you, hear your, your ear hear certain sounds like I'm intrigued right now. And here's his motorcycle. It's pedal bike, but it's got a motor on there and he's, and he looks over at me. It gives me the gentleman head nod and I'm like, bro, I can't acknowledge that. Like, what are you doing?
Speaker 1:I'm not acknowledging you, sir.
Speaker 2:Do you really think that people at this gas station and the Wendy's right there are going? Oh man, Like there's any single women going? Ooh, I wonder what he has to offer on his motorized bicycle single women going, ooh, I wonder what he has to offer on his motorized bicycle.
Speaker 2:I should have gave him the golden trout for his confidence. But the eel is just. I can smell the fumes from his exhaust Like bro. You gotta tighten that spark plug up because I can smell it. I had to picture it on my head. It's pretty detailed. Do you get any eels this week?
Speaker 1:Harry, I got one. It's not as funny. Okay, geez, alright, eel, serious. No, I do have one. It is the Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight, and I'm not saying the fight itself, no, because it was a 58-year-old man versus a 20, 30-something-year-old kid. Obviously, things are not going to go great. What I'm upset about was Netflix dropping the ball. Well, they were not ready. They were not ready, and here's what I kept buffering. It kept getting all digital. We were actually talking while watching the fight together, yeah, and I thought I thought you were gonna much like that man on his two stroke. I thought you were going to stroke out because yours would not load. I was running perfectly fine. Yeah, it was weird up until like the actual fight started and then I got a little slower, but that's probably when everyone started tuning in, because no one wanted to watch the three fights beforehand, although they should have, because the woman's fight was flat out, the fight of the night, the woman fight should have been the headline Ugh.
Speaker 1:Regardless, the buffering was an issue, and here's my concern. Wasn't the fight right Because we didn't pay additional money for it? It was something Netflix did Right. So, one, it's tough to complain when it was included. It wasn't an additional cost. Two, netflix has Christmas games this year. Nfl Christmas games this year yeah, holla back. And even more so for me. Anyway, as you look over my shoulder, I am a WWE fan, you are. Raw is going to Netflix next year. Yeah, raw is war. It will be streamed live. How is that going to turn out? In a way, I also feel like this was a test run for Netflix. Yeah, is this like one of their first live? In a way, I also feel like this was a test run For Netflix yeah.
Speaker 1:This is like one of their first live things. It had to have been.
Speaker 2:Well, the first big live thing they did was Love is Blind. Reunion Was supposed to be live and that was a big flop. When a reality TV show does a reunion, there's going to be a lot of households tuning in and, including mine, go to Netflix Boop blackout. What do you play? Oh, did not play. So to this day I have not seen the reunion. Sabrina has not seen that reunion. I mean.
Speaker 1:I Am so sorry for your Sabrina's loss. Yeah, I think netflix will get together, but as of friday night during the fight, I'm sorry guys, you gotta take it. Here's your reel. Yeah, a small legal that's small one.
Speaker 2:Uh, I got. I didn't put it on the show sheet. I told you Saturday was a big day. We had a huge Saturday. The one event I left out was intentional. We got cookies Friday night because on Saturday it was cookies with the Grinch At a specific store on downtown Boardwalk, the Shreveport, boater City Boardwalk, right next to the Bass Pro Shop, pending sponsorship from them, just kidding. So we go to a certain store and they have a cookie tray set up, and the reason why we bring cookies everybody knows right here. I don't know if they have egg in their stuff. So we want to be safe, olivia, when all of our kids interact.
Speaker 2:So we get in line, we're waiting and there's a long line and all of a sudden, here comes this green thing out and we wait and we really get a good view of it, right, you see the green furry costume. Everybody's here. Grinch is here. Well, we get closer. First off there are adults, the one group, two groups ahead of us, adults, mind you. The youngest one was in college, oh okay, and they went, took their picture with the Grinch and there's a cookie tray. There's obviously employees there handing out cookies. They're like we let them have more than one. They're like I mean, yeah, yeah, it's one per person. Like the people in front of us, did they get just one cookie? Like, did everybody who has been here before us just get one cookie? Like, bro, you're fishing for two cookies. What? Like I might be I forget how old I was then 38, 38, 39, whatever it was, I will smack a college kid. I'm not Jason Kelsey. You're not going to try and sue me for millions of dollars. That makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 1:You're at a child's event.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you're asking for more cookies and you're just standing in the way, but that's not the biggest deal, harry. The biggest deal was this Grinch costume no, the way, but that's not the biggest deal, harry. The biggest deal was this grinch costume? No, the grinch costume. It looked like you went on wishcom or timu app and said hey, grinch. Blindly clicked the button and said buy now and send it my way. From the neck down it was a normal green, you know, had the santa outfit on, like at the end of the grinch. Spoiler alert the head, harry, the head on this thing. It looked like Lee Corso putting the Ohio State Bucky hat on. This was the biggest Grinch head I've ever seen in my life. They said his heart grew three sizes, not his head. This thing was swollen like it got stung by bees and I'm like y'all know that's messed up right, like that's not how the Grinch's head looks.
Speaker 1:I mean, the Grinch is supposed to be a little scary looking. This wasn't scary looking.
Speaker 2:It looked depressing. It's like, hey, man, you got some swelling on the brain, you need to get this thing checked out. But, like Sabrina and I could not keep a straight face while the girls were like, hey, you want to take a picture? I think it was Olivia and Reagan up there, piper was too scared, right, go take your picture. Sabrina's like take it. I was like I can't, I cannot take their picture right now Because the Grinch is that terrible. Did you get a picture? At least Sabrina took the picture, I could do it.
Speaker 1:I need to see this picture.
Speaker 2:I'll have her send it to me. It's hilarious. That's my last deal this week, buddy. We were chock full of golden trials and eels this week because we were ready. It's 75. This is a big one. Of course, I got two eels that I can't keep a straight face about.
Speaker 1:Sir, you're swelling up the braid.
Speaker 2:You got a big head All right.
Speaker 1:Did you ever see the picture of Bear Grylls when he got stung in the face by a bee? Oh yeah, listen, google it If you don't know what I'm talking about. Bear Grylls the survivalist he got stung in the face. That's what I'm imagining, but, like with the Grinch, yes, but it was just like a giant.
Speaker 2:You needed two hands To put this, put the head on.
Speaker 1:I think it was. I think it was one Christmas one year Walmart was selling like Weird masks, like, but they were oversized, that's probably what it was. It had to have been, and they just bought a green suit. I mean, makes sense heads, but they were oversized, that's probably what it was.
Speaker 2:It had to have been. They just bought a green suit. I mean, makes sense.
Speaker 1:It was terrible. Did the kids get their? Cookies though I mean, yeah, your children. I don't care about the college kids, my children got their cookies.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we brought some for Libby and her plastic baggie. She had her own Reagan grad couple. I didn't get one. I wanted to be like the college kids but be louder Like them, be like so do I get more than one?
Speaker 1:How does this work, Since I am literally three times the size of the child? I should have three cookies. I should get eight, right.
Speaker 2:Goobers.
Speaker 1:Goobers Buddy, we got to get moving. It is time for PWN Paul's Weird News. Here is your host, Paul.
Speaker 2:Alright, harry, thanks for that. Shout out out here on the streets. I have been holding on to this story for a few episodes now because I've been waiting for it to develop. Just a few short weeks ago, harry, 43, count that 43 monkeys escaped from a South Carolina lab facility. I don't know if you heard that right, but 43 monkeys escaped a lab facility. Now they say none of the monkeys had any testing done to them yet all the primates are very young females weighing six seven pounds each who have never been tested, according to the police, right, I believe that there's no public health threat, also said the police. It sounds like the police are saying everything positive right now about 43 monkeys escaping a lab in South Carolina. How bad is the lab in general or how bad is their security where 43 monkeys can escape?
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a lot of questions actually.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but here's first kicker, Harry, as of now, I told you I've been letting it develop. Letting it develop. 39 have been captured. There's only four on the loose. A South Carolina lab had that many monkeys and then 43 just said bloop, see you later. I mean they were all in good spirits. They were dancing and running around in the trees, like I was reading this article. What do you mean? They were in good spirits, dancing and running around trees.
Speaker 2:that's what they do it's like saying oh man, that horse was happy, in good spirits. It was running circles around the Kentucky Derby track. That's what he wants to do. That's what they do. The alligator is happy. He was just sitting in the bottom of Lake Placid and Betty White feed him whole cows, because that's what he does. Like can you imagine, just man?
Speaker 2:You drive down the road, harry, knowing there's a billionaire, not having any idea it's a lab, and here come 43 animals. I don't care what the animal is, 43 of them, come out Bye. I'd be like what animal is? 43 of them, come out Bye. I'll be able to do with a motor bicycle. I'm gone, I'm revving whatever I got. I'm out of there. My truck's automatic, I'm putting it in neutral just to rev it six times, then drop it and drive and leave. So everybody knows how serious I am. The police statements are hilarious to me about this. We thank the public for their cooperation in avoiding the area and kindly ask that drones not be used in the vicinity. Bro, you don't want any evidence coming out about what's happening.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:And people are voluntarily staying away because when 43 lab monkeys escape, you have no idea what they're being tested for.
Speaker 1:No, no, you can tell me whatever you want to. You're blue in the face. I do not believe you.
Speaker 2:Right Reports are his behavioral Janice. Behavioral management is what they've been working these monkeys in the lab for. But I don't care. I hear the word monkeys lab, I'm out of there, I'm gone. Yeah, see you later. Goodbye, all right, harry. So now let's hop in our car. We don't need to fly this time, we just need to drive. All right, 95 North. Let's head up to a little city called New York City, where they Paste Picante Salsa. Remember those commercials all day. Where do you get your salsa? New York City, I do.
Speaker 1:Remember those commercials that's a weird like Brain scratch you just did.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Whenever somebody says New York City, I think it's salsa. Now.
Speaker 1:Oh okay.
Speaker 2:Well, there's an auction going on up there and if you were interested, folks in some very unique items. I think it is time this made my weird news this week, because presidential memorabilia not just any memorabilia, harry how about this? Blocks of George Washington's hair to be sold at an auction in New York City? That's weird yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm a huge George fan.
Speaker 2:Right. I mean, if you're in this country, you have to be a George Washington fan, right? First president of the United States, general George Washington has his own house in Valley Forge, which looked pretty cool from the outside when I went, because I never got to go inside legally. But there's a locket holding a graying chunk of Washington's hair, and it was originally. This is the best part. It was originally a gift holding a graying chunk of Washington's hair and it was originally. This is the best part. It was originally a gift to a family friend of the first president, but it has since been passed down generations and generations and now it's finally found the end of the line of the lineage of passing it down there. Like nah fam, I'm auctioning this thing off.
Speaker 1:I love you. Here's some of my hair. You're a good friend of mine.
Speaker 2:Let me here's some of my hair in a locket. Let's close that up tightly. I'm going to hand it to you and for the next 250 years your family is going to pass this down.
Speaker 1:And what do you say to that? Any of my friends? My hair, they wouldn't be my friends anymore.
Speaker 2:Right, if I gave any of my friends hair, they're going to ask where this got it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, where'd you get that? Don't ask questions. The starting bid is set at how are you ready for this $15,000. I want to go and just place a bid and say yes, I bid on George Washington's hair, but my luck, my bid would be at like $300,000 and they'd be like so would not be like crap, I was just kidding guys. Can we re-auction this off for $350? Pay me my $350. I'll give you your $300. Can we just do it that way?
Speaker 1:Here's my question what do you do with it? I?
Speaker 2:don't know. Put it on your mantelpiece. Hang it up Every President's Day. You salute it.
Speaker 1:I know there are some like card collectors and there are some unique card like baseball cards, right, and there are some things like that and I wonder if that's who's like trying to buy this stuff.
Speaker 2:Oh, I mean yeah, because the other stuff that's up for auction is the american flag that covered abraham lincoln's coffin following the assassination. They the exact one. Pretty cool. Why are we selling that right? I don't know why that's not just in the smithsonian somewhere or what about I?
Speaker 2:right. So the stuff I'm about to read off should be preserved somewhere A 49-star flag from 1959, before Hawaii was declared a state. So at one point we had 49 states and so they had made a flag with 49 stars. Never before seen presidential portraits. Then post them up, man. Hey, let us let everyone see it Right, and this is one I think I would bid on more than George Washington's hair is a painting of Lincoln reading the Emancipation Proclamation that currently hangs in the US Capitol building.
Speaker 1:Oh, that currently hangs in the US Capitol building.
Speaker 2:Ooh, okay, that's dope. Yeah, that would be dope, but like the flag, lincoln's funeral flag is estimated between $800 and $1.2 million. Right, the flag? Yep, cool, but I would bid on some of this stuff. They're saying the lock of hair can go up as high as $40K. Wow, I'm not buying $40,000 for anybody's hair in a locket. No, I'm sorry, but that's just weird to me. Speaking about weird, that's it for me out here on the streets. Back to you in Studio T.
Speaker 1:So let's, we're still recording. I was going to announce a weird news of my own. I did one last week and I was going to do one this week and I was saving it in my back pocket. I didn't think you saw it and then you sent me the link today as we were going over the show. When I got, I got a little heartbroken. So I said you know what? We'll save it. I won't do an HWN, I'll just make it up to packing up the truck, because it is too good not to talk about. No, we got to talk about it. I'm going to be very honest when I say this. I think most car insurance is a scam.
Speaker 2:I can see that I think everyone.
Speaker 1:Car insurance is a scam. I can see that. I think everyone should have it. I don't think it needs to be hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. I think that's stupid. Yes, because why am I paying a couple grand when I never use my insurance ever? Knock on wood, agreed, ever Knock on wood, agreed. Now with my opinions and feelings out of the way. Get it out of here. Some people decided they wanted to try something. They wanted to scam their insurance company. Ooh, go on. Now listen. Insurance scams is probably, honestly, one of the hardest things to get away with, because they have their own investigative squad. They have their own everything. So these people in California said, hey, a bear broke into our car and caused damage. Not just any car. A 2010 Rolls Royce Ghost, that's a car, buddy, that is a car.
Speaker 2:That's a good car right there.
Speaker 1:Well, not just that A Mercedes G63 AMG, oh, and a 2022 Mercedes E three 50, all with video. You can't argue with video, right? No, totally supposed to, totaling in one hundred and forty one thousand eight hundred and thirty nine dollars. A bear gets into your high class vehicles. That sucks, it does? A bear doesn't rub the dash and go. This is rich mahogany. No, it really doesn't do that. A bear doesn't sit in a seat and go. Is this vegan leather?
Speaker 2:Yeah, because it's not leather.
Speaker 1:But a person dressed as a bear causing damage to high-end cars. They say that this is the best part. Here's the kicker buddy. It was four people in one suit. No, they were just all in on this scam. I don't know how to describe it, but if you go into the barbecue section, they have these claws Some are plastic, some are metal and they help you shred stuff the pull port claws. The pull port claws yes, they were using that to scratch up the cars On the inside. So it was a very low quality, low grade video, as long as it's the insurance company.
Speaker 2:Did they buy the bear claw brand?
Speaker 1:They were metal at least. Oh, that's good. At first the insurance company was like I mean, I don't know how you don't lock your Rolls Royce. That seems to be on you first and foremost. Yeah, facts, Alright, you got video. Alright, we get it. And then the insurance person goes that doesn't. I see the bear, I see the car, Low grade, Something's not sitting right with me. Yeah, it's not adding up. The insurance company took it to a biologist for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife who opened it and said it was clearly a human in a bear suit.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, they took it to an actual biologist to look at.
Speaker 1:Hey, something's weird. Something weird is going on here.
Speaker 2:This isn't passing my smell test. Can you check this?
Speaker 1:out for me. So they put on a bear costume and decided to wreck their vehicles for $150,000. Oh my, and not only that, that's insurance fraud. Oh, straight fraud. If you can get away with something against your insurance company, I don't promote it. But good for you, yeah, I mean bravo, I guess.
Speaker 2:If you want to try and do that, I'm not doing that for people.
Speaker 1:To me this seems like a scam. The less people know, better.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if I'm going to do it, nobody's going to know that I'm doing it.
Speaker 1:But why a bear?
Speaker 2:attack In Southern California. It's a state bear.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Lake Arrowhead.
Speaker 2:State animal, I don't know. I think it's believable because they can't fit into a dog costume.
Speaker 1:How do you even come up with that idea? All right, Frank, you're going to dress as a bear and you see these pulled pork pullers. I need you to scratch some things in the car.
Speaker 2:I have this idea. I need you to listen. It's going to sound crazy, but I need you. Which one of you two can growl the loudest like a bear? Do they have a growl off? I'll be like hmm, bear you. Bill, you're sounding loudest like a bear. Do they have a growl off? I'd be like Bill, you're sounding more like a polar bear. We need a grizzly bear. Yeah, deborah, you're right.
Speaker 1:Not only that, they left the bear costume in their home.
Speaker 2:No rookie move, man. Yeah, they didn't even get rid of the costume. You gotta get rid of that stuff immediately. Like they are the eels of the week for like the next month. Like what do you do when you go to court and be like, uh, did you do it? Like I think I started quoting shaggy. It wasn't me, bro, we got you on camera oh, here's where they really messed up.
Speaker 1:They dress as a brown bear. There are no brown bears where they're at in California. They weren't extinct in the 20s, my God.
Speaker 2:If you're going to do it, do your research no brown bear.
Speaker 1:If they were to dress up as a black bear, maybe they would have gotten away with it but they dress as a brown bear.
