The Trout Stream
# 84 - MID-EVIL TIMES PENGUINS
Harry and Paul Troutman's signature charm radiates through episode 84 of The Trout Stream as they deliver what they proudly call "a show the whole family can enjoy." The brothers kick things off with a hilarious game where Paul pretends sports don't exist, interpreting headlines about LeBron James and football with innocent confusion that sets the tone for their trademark humor.
Their personal weekend stories create that cozy, front-porch feeling fans love—Paul's power outage adventure leads to an impromptu family fort minus the roof ("because it's hot"), complete with strategic fan placement, while Harry's countryside drive down muddy roads is interrupted by an annoyed property owner with "dead end signs smaller than a dinner plate." These everyday moments, told with wit and warmth, showcase why listeners connect so deeply with the show.
The episode celebrates all things "84" with fascinating sports trivia about NFL greats who wore the number, including Randy Moss ("top three receiver all time, easy") and the Sharp brothers (both soon-to-be Hall of Famers). Their evident enthusiasm for wrestling shines as they discuss John Cena's record-breaking 17th world championship, while NASCAR talk about the controversial Talladega finish reveals their sports knowledge wrapped in accessible conversation.
Fan-favorite segments deliver consistent laughs—the Golden Trout Awards celebrate a Michigan town's 300-person "book brigade" and NASCAR legend Greg Biffle's helicopter Easter egg drop for hurricane-affected communities. Meanwhile, Paul's Weird News uncovers gems like a Philadelphia peacock "strutting through the city like he had brunch reservations" and a Belgian brewery's epic 12,000-bottle beer hunt. Their "Bad Guys You Cheer For" bracket narrows to a championship showdown between Tony Soprano and The Undertaker that has both hosts speechless with anticipation.
So cast a line and join the stream—where the laughs flow freely, PT Cruisers get unexpected love, and two brothers remind us that good, clean fun never goes out of style.

Speaker 1:Paul listeners, welcome to 84. Call us Polonium, the radioactive element. 84. Listen. If you was one episode of our show per year on the planet uranus, you'd have one revolution around the sun. 84 years it takes for uranus to orbit the sun. Before we move on, let's give a quick shout out to Park City, utah, and Clover, wisconsin. Hello Wisconsin, I feel like Clover they put, they want it to be Clover, wisconsin and someone's handwriting got sloppy, real bad. Like maybe they went to go make a C and they made too much of a big hook at the top and it's like and I, p or c, I don't know over, because not all of her like well making so. And in 1849 our town was incorporated. Welcome to glover.
Speaker 1:Speaking about town harry, in 84, did you know that in the great commonwealth Pennsylvania, there is a town called 84? Really, I didn't. Where is it? It is in the wrong side of the state or the western side. Is that where 84 Lumber comes from? I don't know. I did not reach that far. That's a rabbit hole. That is a rabbit hole.
Speaker 1:How was your weekend? Is it really 84 Lumber, origin Ridge and 84 Pennsylvania? No way. Yes, I'm impressed with myself. Yeah, I'm really impressed. That's amazing, gosh dang. But I gotta tell you about this weekend.
Speaker 1:We had big plans this weekend. We had things we were going to do. We were going to go to this event called Taco Wars. Sabrina messaged me and said hey, would you like to go to this event called taco wars. Uh, sabrina messaged me, said hey, would you like to go to taco wars? I put my boots on and I said this is a war I will support. I don't know what kind of war it was. She calmed me down and said it was taco trucks and margaritas, which I said I still support it, still support it. I support it more now.
Speaker 1:Right, olivia and I both woke up a little under the weather. Both of us had fevers. So we were like if it was just me, sabrina said she would have went, which then I would have just shown up and been like a taco margarita will fix anything. She would have found you at the margarita truck, like, what are you doing? Closure sinuses, closure sinuses Breaks the fever. I got an Uber, but Olivia was sick.
Speaker 1:So we decided, like you know what, let's just chill at the house, right? So we did some shopping. I hung out with pipe where they all went grocery shopping. They come back. I'm like, oh, you know, we got to get some, uh, some final things for dinner tonight. While I'm out I get a phone call Uh, the power's out. I said okay, yeah, sure, yeah, right. There. It happens all the 30 minutes after the power outage, the power company goes oh, this was a scheduled outage to fix the power grid. Well, that would have been nice to know beforehand. So I go outside, hook up the generator, get everything going. Turns out my generator will turn my entire house on, with the exception of my air conditioning. Yeah, unfortunately. So I now have a plethora of box fans and it'd only be a short period of time Well, five hours later the power size to come on.
Speaker 1:As we made the best of it. We made a fort, minus the roof, because it's hot. So we put girls' mattresses down on the floor in the living room and we made it a living room party. That's awesome. Yeah, I bought enough box fans and tower fans to make a circle around us, so the air was just pumping in the middle. I mean it made 80 degrees, feel like 80 degrees, but it was. Air was moving. Yeah, I mean there's a difference between hot, sticky 80 and air movement 80. Yeah, luckily, it was like 930 at night.
Speaker 1:Sabrina looks at me and goes according to Facebook, the power is back on in the neighborhood, so I need you to flip everything back over. And I was like, yeah, you're right. Yes, so Sunday was just us recovering. Yeah, that's a rough night, dude. Yeah, it was fun, though you need to recovery. What did you guys do? I want to hear about your weekend. Listen, we might be some of the most boring people on the planet. I mean, I can see that. Yeah, like me. Saturday no, ange and I. Saturday, we had a baby shower. Ange is not going to like this part, but so I took my buddy, steve. It was his wife's baby shower. You know dudes aren't supposed to be there. Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 1:So we hopped in my truck and went down to their campground, which is about 20 minutes away, opened it up for the first time in the season, made sure there was no leaks, no snakes, no mice, no, nothing. It's something him and I do all the time. We open and close it together. Last year I opened the door and I closed it really fast and I said hey, there's a dead raccoon on your bed and he goes what? And I said there's a dead raccoon on your bed and he goes what? And I said there's a dead raccoon on your bed and he goes, are you sure? And I was like I know what a raccoon looks like and I know what a dead one looks like, and it's on your bed. There was no dead raccoon, that harp flow. So we went. Everything was fantastic. So we went driving around. We drove around for three hours and we were never more than 20 minutes away from the house. That's perfect.
Speaker 1:I found a lot of gravel roads, a lot of dirt roads, yeah, a couple mud, mud, muddy roads. Had some fun, had some fun. I don't want to give him an eel, but the guy was kind of a not nice about it. Like I said, we were just flip a coin left or right, which way are we going? And we ended up down a dead end road and I didn't see a sign. So I'm using this guy's driveway to turn around, unfortunately. And he comes up on a side by side and he goes. You lost. And I was like, unfortunately, yes, sir, he goes. You didn't see the dead end signs. And I laughed. I was like obviously not man, I'm sorry, my mistake. And a grown man rolled his eyes at me and drove away. I was like, okay, you're annoyed, I get it, it happens. So then, as we're driving away, I look at Steve and I said did you see any dead end signs? He goes. No, I would have told you. So I'm creeping up along the road there's dead end signs Smaller than a dinner plate. So yeah, buddy, I missed that. Get some real signs. If you're getting worried about it, give me a big old sign out here, big old sign. Put a gate up.
Speaker 1:And then, sunday we're doing raised garden beds. So we got them set up, got the dirt for those cut, my grass weed whacked, getting my patio set up. I'm going to do a nice patio this year. Again, it's nothing exciting, nothing podcast worthy. I'm going to be honest.
Speaker 1:We went to Lowe's Grown folk stuff. Grown folk stuff. Went to Lowe's. We found a patio set. Absolutely loved it. Loved it. Full size couch, three person couch, not a love seat. Fell in love. I was like I could nap on this. Sold out, sold out. So then we had to go with the love seat. You know what? My 6'4 frame is not sleeping on A patio chair, a patio love seat. Ah, yeah, that's true, I can see that. But no, it was a great weekend. A lot of outside, a lot of vitamin D, feeling good, feeling refreshed, just back at it. Man, I was excited. It's been a long week and I've just been looking forward to tonight getting to record. Yeah, I think what the listeners really wanted to know is what your patio looks like. So maybe, harry, our admins on the TroutStream page will upload some photos. A little sneak peek at it, maybe. Maybe that raised garden.
Speaker 1:Before we continue, paul, why don't you tell everyone about the page, why we needed the page, what's going on with our Facebook? Because we had to switch things up. We had a social media team. So a social media team came together and they told us that you can no longer do polls on Facebook groups. We originally were set up three years ago officially three years ago as a Facebook group where we had our polls for our fan voted brackets. In the past we liked the idea of a group because it felt more personal. Yeah, a group is more personal, for sure. You know polls in the past of our brackets was favorite TV dad favorite 90s TV show of the original poll of do you wash your chicken before you cook. It came out three years ago. As a matter of fact, that was the first poll we ever put out for fun. But then groups no longer can have polls.
Speaker 1:So we got with our social media team and realized the Facebook page would be better and it's easier to join, easier to invite. So you head on over to Facebook, go to the trout stream. You'll see a page and a group. Save yourself from trouble. Go ahead and like both, follow both. Group is not going anywhere. Group is not going anywhere Is a two in the same, but the Facebook page is when it gets all the love.
Speaker 1:Social media team only has access to the facebook page and that's where we're going to post everything. You're going to see our funny memes, our polls for the remainder of this bracket, favorite bad guy you cheer for and all future brackets, which I'm really excited to. Uh, when it comes time to announce those, all of our show interactions, things we bring up on our show, the questions, the quizzes, the trivia that we will have for future swag giveaways, will all be exclusively on our recording and on the Facebook page. I love it. We're making big moves. I couldn't be happier. It's great. It's so great, dude. It's funny because, as much as we grow, as much as we still make rookie mistakes. There are multiple platforms we use to record our show. We're always trying out new stuff to make sure we give you the best quality product we can.
Speaker 1:And tonight, our normal record time, and I'm sitting here in one of the lobbies waiting For those who don't know, paul and I are nowhere near close to each other. He's in Louisiana, I'm in Pennsylvania and I are nowhere near close to each other. He's in Louisiana, I'm in Pennsylvania. So I'm sitting there and I'm waiting, and I'm waiting and like half hour goes by and I was like, oh man, let's get tied up with something. Come to find out that Paul was in a different platform waiting for me to join. So as much as we have our stuff together, we do not. It's like oh, I got a doctor's appointment. Yeah, his building is across town, six miles away. You're not going to make your appointment time. Thanks, man, appreciate that.
Speaker 1:We had Talladega last week. I unfortunately did not get to watch the whole race. I got to watch a bit of it, though, but what I did watch, unfortunately, your guy the number four car was in the lead. He did not win, but you beat my guy. The number four car was in the lead. He did not win, but you beat my guy, the number three car of Austin Dillon. So you get to go first this week. Paul, let's hear your 80. Now, harry's a pleasure going first.
Speaker 1:It hasn't happened in quite a while, far too long to count 84. We've been waiting for this era of numbers to come up, because 84, every single team has an 84. I am willing to bet there has not been a season that has gone by that the number 84 has not been used in the NFL. Are you ready for these? No particular order. Before you had Julio Jones with the Atlanta Falcons, you had number 84, number one wide receiver Roddy White. Roddy White was early 2000s, maybe late 90s, but definitely early 2000s to about 2010 time frame. He has all the receiving records, or at least had them, for the Atlanta Falcons, the ones he doesn't have now. Julio Jones has passed him barely. Now we're two brothers that talk about sports, life, everything in between, and I love it when our show lines up and we can find us.
Speaker 1:I linked some brothers. How funny that they're sharp on the field. Their last name is sharp and they're fancy. Shannon and Sterling sharp. Both wore number 84, both tight ends in the NFL and after this summer, officially both will be enshrined in the Hall of Fame. I think it's phenomenal. That's crazy, shannon. I wonder how many brothers are in the Hall of Fame. I don't know Me neither. My over under is, I'm going to say six. My pick is there's six sets of brothers in the National Football Hall of Fame. But Shannon Sharp recently got in a couple years ago and he said that he is the only Hall of Famer, nfl Hall of Famer current, that he was not the best athlete in his family. Really, yeah, he says Sterling was a way better athlete than him. I think it's kind of helped get Sterling in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1:There are three sets of fathers and sons. The first set of brothers into the NFL Hall of Fame Shannon and Sterling. Wow, really, yep, you know there's going to be one more. Yeah, the Manning brothers Okay, there's going to be two more. The Watts Three more. I was going to say Kelsey, I'm really getting to. The Kelsey's are going to be in there. Yeah, I mean JJ, for sure, tj. Yeah, I mean JJ, for sure, tj. Probably, I don't know he's injury prone. That's another topic. Yeah, now, harry, when you say 84, really, one color comes to mind White numbers, gold outline, purple jersey. He has his own segment on ESPN. He has his own move on the football field. If he's not out there catching passes, he's out there catching those bass on the lake, the one, the only. I'm going to moon you in Lambeau Field.
Speaker 1:Randy Moss we just mossed him man. Randy Moss, top three receiver all time. Hands, easy Top three. I can't say anything bad about Randy Moss Like. The only time I didn't like Randy Moss is when he was on the Patriots and they went 17-0. Or 16-0. Yeah, and him on the Patriots is still one of those weird things. Yeah, but he still put up the most receiving touchdowns in a single season, not to mention cancer survivor.
Speaker 1:Randy Moss yeah, man, you took the words right out of my mouth. I knew that was coming up next. Randy's the man. Brandy is the man like. I never realized how country randy was until, like, I watched videos of him bass fishing. I don't think I've ever seen a bass fish. Yeah, he's big bass fishing.
Speaker 1:A lot of people don't remember that he was also a heisman finalist as a wide receiver out of the university of. We are marshall. Yeah, you know who beat him that year. Charles Woodson from Michigan, second place quarterback University of Tennessee. Never know if you heard of him. Peyton Manning yeah, we can go on and on and on about Randy Moss because we will, but I'm going to move to my last one here.
Speaker 1:It's mentioned in episode 81. We said we'd bring back 84. When there's a statue dedicated to you in your hometown, we're going to bring you up multiple times, mostly known his time in that baby blue. 84. I think the second best throwback uniforms of all time. Houston Oilers 84. Actually part of the All-Century Team 100 players of all time. Billy White Shoes Johnson we talked about him before he had a statue. I mean it's pretty cool. That's so cool. Yeah, it's very cool. That's my own number. 84 Is I got Harry, I got two. When I say Fourth and 26, what do you think about Philadelphia Eagles playoffs 2003, 2004? Green Bay Packers Just got the chills Thinking about it, cause I love Eagles playoff football. But they won the only Freddie Mitchell.
Speaker 1:Fred X. Fred X Because he delivers. I wonder what he's up to nowadays. I was just thinking that. Also just from a Philly standpoint. Fred X yeah, top five greatest nicknames. And just Philly's, just Philly sports, just Philly sports nicknames yeah, yeah, top five. Top five. Number one is weapon X. Okay, good, just make sure, make sure we are on the exact same page. Pat the Bat Burl, pat the Bat, that's a great nickname too. You're taking it 79 episodes back, episode 5. We try to not be so Philly. I mean, we're always going to be Philly biased, but we try to expand past that. And I was just thinking we should do a poll on Philly athlete nicknames. But we all know Brian Dawkins, weapon X, would win. Yeah, I mean, number two is Broad Street Bullies, but it's about a whole team, not a single player. That's a whole team and that's what I was getting ready to say. Individually, you have Weapon X and then at number two is Brian Dawkins as Wolverine. Yeah, 100%, it's like who wins.
Speaker 1:My second is a unique individual. He was a very good wide receiver. We don't talk too negatively on the show, so I will not. I will give him all the praise. And he even kicked a punter in the face trying to hurdle him Not true, he intentionally kicked a guy in the face the one, the only Antonio Brown. That dude put up numbers like nobody else's business. That dude was very, very good at at football.
Speaker 1:I think I was reading something. I could get the years wrong, but I think it was 2012 to 2016. In that five-year window he was the number one receiver hands down most receptions, most receiving yards, most touchdowns. That's insane and that's a five-year night If somebody gets a triple crown in the NFL. That's rare, yeah, but he got a five-year triple crown. I don't think one year specifically. He got all three. He might have got two out of three but, like 2015, he had 1,800 receiving yards. That's absolutely astounding. That's insane. And then he was doing punt returns on top of it. Yeah, yeah, he hurtled a guy. He hurtled a guy. Well, he put a foot in the guy's face as well, but he put a foot in the guy's face.
Speaker 1:Only two players have worn 84 in nba history. We got ron baker in 2019 and chris weber in detroit in 2007. I forgot, chris weber went to det for that year and that's odd, like Chris Webber is a superstar at this point and he went with 84. I wonder if he got traded midseason or something. Possibly I can see that happening.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's not like now where, like, I'll make a donation to your charity or whatever, let me buy you, like Juan Soto did. He bought the guy who was 22 an SUV with all the bells and whistles, yeah, so essentially he paid like 75 grand for a number. Why wouldn't you just donate that? Why don't you just thumb wrestle? Well, no, I'm saying donate it. You look good, the other guy looks good, oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm grown, I can afford my own vehicle. Thank you, right. Yeah, and then again, somebody's going to buy me a vehicle. You're going to buy me an Escalade. Juan Soto signed a $750 million contract. Yeah, you're buying me a vehicle. Yeah, that's fair. Your signing bonus is more than I'm going to make. Yeah, I think you can find a tank for sale Easily, easily.
Speaker 1:Now, harry, I see your two players in the NBA that wear 84. I'm going to octa times that. I think that's eight. I think that means eight. 16 players in MLB history have worn it. Here's the interesting fact Major League Baseball has been around since the Duttons moved to Wyoming or Montana 1883 time frame. First time it was worn is 2006. I mean, the league is over 130 years old at this point, 20 years old, whatever it is. But notably, out of all the names you know, no big notoriety Prince Fielder wore number 84 when he was on the Rangers from 2014 to 2016. I remember when Prince Fielder went to Texas Rangers. That was a big deal. That was a big deal. That was a big deal. But then again, thinking about it, looking back at the images, yep, he was wearing 84.
Speaker 1:Wild, wild, speaking about wild, going through the draft, I've gone up and down all four major. I've only got one big name that stands out NFL 2017. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on the clock with the 84th overall selection. They select wide receiver out of Penn State University, chris Godwin. I didn't know. Chris Godwin went to Penn State. Yes, he did. Huge fan Wow. Yeah, he learned something new every day. Yep, he's another reason why I kept a lot. I keep tabs on him. You keep tabs on everybody. But then guys that you watched in college on your team play for a long time, you kind of give them an extra look.
Speaker 1:Another guy who gave up his number to an all-star all-pro coming to his team because he used to be the number 12 when he was in Tampa. Then Thomas Brady gets down to Tampa and he's like, oh, you're going to give your number up at the time. And he's like, no, I'm number 12. And then Chris got one more 14. And then, all of a sudden, chris is not wearing 12. No, I think he actually said that, if Tom wants it, like he had no allegiance to number or something, right. But also, you're getting Tom Brady, so you're never getting a Super Bowl out of it. Yeah, I'll give up my number.
Speaker 1:Yeah, nascar the 84 car has 236 races. Okay, respectable. Zero wins. Oh, not a good percentage. Not good for the average there, not good Part-time. Driven today by Jimmy Johnson, seven-time champion, jimmy Johnson. Horrible choice. That dude needs to stay retired.
Speaker 1:Yes, dale Waltrip has 84 wins. Good old DW, dw, what he's probably number? Uh, I think he's number four all time. Three, all time he's up there. Yeah, I mean, it's DW. He raced for so long and then you know, he was one of the first big ones to knock on the king's door, if you know what I'm saying. Just like the Penguins. Just like the Penguins. Oh, my gosh, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah, because Darren Waltrip is officially number five all-time wins list in NASCAR history. Because Bobby Allison had his race at Bowman Gray officially declared. That's right. That's right this season after, like I don't, don't know, 70 years, 60 years of waiting, maybe 70 years of waiting. So next week Spoiler alert we know who's in fourth place. You ready to cover Some of the worst here, buddy?
Speaker 1:I'm ready to cover 84's. The 84th Song on the billboard, top 100 songs Of all time. Maroon 5 Moves like Jagger. The 84th Highest grossing movie Ice Age, continental Drift. Continental Drift, that was like a rock of ages, dude. Like that was a really good one. That was a good one.
Speaker 1:The number one album from 1984, michael Jackson's Thriller. Such a great album. Like that was all about action, not words. Yes, thriller. And it is time For our 84 year old celebrities that are still alive. These lists are getting smaller and smaller, smaller. All right, we got Martin Sheen, we have Sam Waterston, which is a big Law Order guy. Yeah, neil Diamond, neil Tom Jones, ringo Starr, tom Jones, the diner, or the singer, the singer, ringo Ringo. Al Pacino, oh man, al Pacino, he's got a movie coming under fire. Really love that movie. And Sir Patrick Stewart, sir Patrick Stewart, he's one of those guys been putting out great movies where it's like unbelievable, undeniable, never too late to love what he puts out. All right now we got celebrities who, uh, who saw their 84th birthday, and that was it.
Speaker 1:Isaac newton was 84, which I didn't know. Oh yeah, I mean when you're studying algebra during a plague, I mean, it's how we got calculus. Harry Isaac Newton he got bored during a plague and created calculus. I thought he invented gravity. We got Benjamin Franklin he invented electricity and photographs and bifocals and the printing press. Harry, I said photograph. What else press, jeez? Speaking of inventing, what else do you need? Speaking of inventing? Thomas Edison? Wow, a lot could be said about Thomas. Did he steal everything? Listen, we're not political, we're going to leave it at that.
Speaker 1:You got to join us for our conspiracy theory show on the other channel. Douglas MacArthur, debbie Reynolds, pope, john Paul II, betsy Ross and then two more Leslie Nielsen and Joe DiMaggio man, those last two are two big names. You need to tell me who are some names that never get stage fright and don't get stage fright. Joe DiMaggio, hitting 56 games in a row with a base hit no stage fright. Leslie Nielsen Some of the best movies of all time. Yes, dude, as I was closing my list out, there was one more Estelle Getty. Yes, it's random, but she played the mom on Golden Girls. Completely random right now. Yeah, that's what we do around here. That's so random.
Speaker 1:Nascar we were at Talladega. We were at the Super Speedway. I was listening to the race for a good bit and then I had to go to Lowe's and I missed the ending and apparently it was controversial somewhat. Yeah, it was. It was enough to get chipper jones, the former baseball player involved. Yeah, so break it down real quick what happened. So joey logano was out near the front and he expected his teammate to help him austin cinderella and the number two machine. And, joey, when you're driving you kind of have blinders on right. You only have what's in front of you, your mirrors and your quick reaction.
Speaker 1:Joey went off about his teammate, Austin Sendrick, to the point there was a lot of bleeping by Fox and Joey just pretty much said that he has a terrible teammate. Fast forward to the final few laps and there's his teammate, austin Sendrick, fighting the number 60 machine of Kyle uh, brian Priest for the lead. And there they were clean battle side by side, with the Hendricks boys shoving, trying to find every way they can get around them. You can see Kyle Larson was like he was getting antsy in his seat. He was behind the two machine trying to find a way, backing off, trying to get the slingshot engaged, and it never worked. And so Austin Sendrick, who his teammate, was, just hating on him and screaming about him, wound up winning the race. Love it, yeah, it was great.
Speaker 1:Nascar is such a team sport, but when it comes to the checkered flag, the only team that matters is yours, I'm sorry. I think NASCAR is getting too big about the manufacturer team, because you know it starts Ford, chevy, toyota, then you've got to care about all your Ford, chevy, toyota friends and then you've got your partnership teams Right and then you have your own team, which could be anywhere from one other driver to three other drivers. Sometimes I feel like you've just got to buckle down and get your way. Sometimes you've just got to die hard for the hunter and just hit the gas pedal and just go. We are going to Texas. We should see. We do get some pretty cool schemes at Texas.
Speaker 1:I will say that Texas has some really good schemes. It does. I want to you go first this week. Who are you picking? Quick, fast, in a hurry, didn't even think twice about it. Fast, in a hurry, didn't even think twice about it. It has something to do with his paint scheme, something to do with his driving abilities. In the Texas Motor Speedway, which is the closest NASCAR track to me, I'm not going. The number nine machine, chase Elliott, is he rocking the gold car this weekend? Oh, the 100-year Napa car, the 100-year Napa gold car. That is a great pick. Gold, black and green I'm going. Black and green. I'm going with the 54 tie gifts, the monster verse, napa, the energy drink verse, the parts distributor.
Speaker 1:Texas does bring in some awesome schemes, like I said, but that gold, that gold is going to look nice in that Texas sun. It's going to look real nice. That gold also looks nice on some mantles. As we hand out the golden trout we are fans of WWE here on the trout stream oh yeah, now listen, I don't know why, when it comes to wrestling, people knock it, and I also don't know why, when it comes to wrestling, people knock it, and I also don't know why I feel the need to defend it, but I do I. My grandfather, our grandfather, was a very, very, very big wrestling fan. Our other grandfather was actually an Asgard fan, as I am was slipped up there, but he was a very big wrestling fan and I got back into it because of him to fill him in. So I Will always. Now, that's something Him and I have to that Now that he's no longer with us, yeah, something Him. And I still have.
Speaker 1:John Cena won His 10th world title. That's Impressive. Nobody's ever done it. No one. Paul Hogan no, no. Brett the Hitman Hart no. Dwayne the Rock Johnson? No, stone Cold, steve Austin what? The Deadman, the Undertaker? No, john Cena. He edged out the old nature boy, Ric Flair. He did that's over 20 years of hard work, dedicated work. Whether you like wrestling or not, when you're good at your craft, man run wild, go crazy. Yeah, there's no fooling how good John Cena is, but 17 world championships and a 25 year career.
Speaker 1:I know it's some of it is scripted, but it is real. The hits are real, the, the slams, the, everything is real. He really picked up a 500 pound man. You can't fake. You can't fake that. I know some of it. Uh, the promos, the interactions. Sometimes the winner is, I don't want to say predetermined, but yeah, they think about all that. Yeah, but you can't.
Speaker 1:Picking up a 500-pound man on your shoulders and tossing him Not at all, Not bear-hugging him and leaning back and having him jump on your shoulders and standing there in the ring and doing it for 25 years, where you're almost 50 years old doing this, no, uh, I, we couldn't do it now. No, his persona that he has taken on is the first one of its kind in 25 years for him. He, I believe he is more open and honest, with fans and the media watching him on Pat McAfee and just say you know what he is saying? I don't. Part of it is part of his shtick, but I think also part of it is him finally saying what he wants to say. Yeah, he has that freedom now. I love it so much. I've never respected him more than I have right now. It's good at wrestling, is peaking not not even peaking, but it's it's. It's back to being amazing. It's back. Yes, wrestling is back. All that, all that, those feelings you had back when you were a kid watching it, it's back. Yeah. And so Netflix. So just tune in and watch it. Yeah, just give it a shot, man, stop hating.
Speaker 1:Moving on from John Cena, harry, let's take a little trip up to a small town in the state of Michigan where a bookstore decided you know what? This store's getting a little too small for us. We've got to move around the corner to the bigger establishment. So 300 residents helped the small bookstore because they realized, man, it's going to take us quite a while to move 9000 books. So 300 residents in the Michigan city of Chelsea also, which I think is kind of cool they formed what they call a book brigade to help move serendipity books to a new storefront. So the volunteers formed a pair of lines. They passed each title. So you know, you've seen it in construction. In construction, like, oh, let me toss you this bucket, you toss the bucket, you toss the bucket. But they did that with books. So two lines, one on each side of the sidewalk, shoulder to shoulder. They're passing one book down, one at a time, and so it only took a couple hours to move all like a few hours to move 9,100 books.
Speaker 1:Now imagine if the bookstore had to pack all those up, move them down. You're probably going to put them in a truck or hand-dolly them, get them to the new store, then unpack and organize them. I've got to be honest, probably why a lot of bookstores are just been in the same place for 200 years. Yeah, because I don't want to sit there and pack up all these books, because you're like, oh man, if I pack them up, it's probably going to be wiser if I just pack this whole shelf up and then carry that down. Because I want to keep everything organized. And the best part was that, you know, I was reading this news article as the people were passing the books around. I was like wait, a second one actually has an interesting title yeah, the small town of people. Are they helped out? But also now they're piquing their interest in reading more. I love the golden trout. Yeah, for stuff like that I'll hire my last one here. It goes out to uh, I think we gave him one for something very similar.
Speaker 1:As the hurricanes devastated Western North Carolina, uh're, a lot of the folks couldn't be reached right no cell service, no road service. They had nothing. They were stranded. Nascar legend he has moved up to legend the 16,. It used to be old three M car, the Biff, greg Biffle.
Speaker 1:At the hurricane devastated parts of North Carolina, he realized people were stranded so he fired up his personal helicopter, flew it out and was saving people, was rescuing them one by one. So he's flying around assessing the scene. The old trick you take a CD or a mirror and you shine it in somebody's face. That happened to him and he was able to alert authorities From there. Mr Bifflele realized I can do good with my helicopter. So easter sunday, which was recent, he loaded up his helicopter with 1 000 easter eggs filled, ready to go give out to the kids and he flew his helicopter over the same region. Now as they're rebuilding, they're going. He realized, you, they're probably not going to have much for Easter because you know they're without right now. They're still recovering from the hurricane. So the Biff drops 1,000 Easter eggs for all the children.
Speaker 1:So I know you got several NASCAR trophies on your shelf at home, Biff, but we have one very special Golden Trout Award that we hope one day will eclipse. At least one of those NASCAR wins, as prestigious as our award is, I don't think he needs he. I don't think he needs our trophy. When you're that good of a dude, you don't need it. Well, we're still sending you buddy. No, no, you're still getting it. Uh, fills my heart with joy and happiness.
Speaker 1:You talked a lot about your dog Rocco. Yeah, man, you currently have a dog, indy. Yeah, it's short for Independence Day, is it really? Yeah, 100%, that is legit. Okay, this is a perfect tie-in to my eel buddy. You have a dog, indy, yep, which is just learning. Short for Independence Day. Yep, when you think Independence Day, what do you think? I think hot dogs, cherry pies, barbecues, drinking cold beverages. I think of, when the sun sets, sitting in a meadow watching fireworks.
Speaker 1:How did Rock go and how does Indy fare against fireworks? Rock hated him. My best friend in the world hated him. There'd be many times I wouldn't go out on certain holidays because he hated him. Indy, and he's cool, it's not too bad. My dog absolutely despises them. My 70 pound dog quickly turns into a shivering Chihuahua, so let me hand out my eel of the week. Oh, let's jump into them early, harry, let's get them out.
Speaker 1:The nationals in our division, yes, did something good, and when teams aren't doing that hot, they they do a dog day. Bring your pup to the park Good, right, right, you know, treat, treat, treat the pup. You're outside, the dogs are loving it. My dog can never do it. I know her, she's just not capable of it. So the nationals decided to have a dog day on a Friday, and then Friday nights are their firework nights.
Speaker 1:So the nationals had a bring your dog to the park day, followed by fireworks, and they gave people 20 minutes to get out with their dog before they lit off the fireworks. You're not going anywhere in 20 minutes they started flashing signs saying pups, get out ASAP. Fireworks will be going off in 20 minutes. Not only are you not getting out of the stadium in 20 minutes, you're not getting out of the parking lot in 20 minutes. That's what I was saying. It's not going to make any difference. No, the only difference is my dog's going to pee in my car instead of your easily washed stadium. Yeah, I can spray the concrete down. Yeah, backseat of my truck is not getting sprayed down with the same hose no, sprayed down with the same hose. No, sprayed down with the same bladder, but not the same hose. Jazz is a big yield.
Speaker 1:You cannot have pup day and firework night at the same time. Like you don't know, like when you're at the Nats games, like that, and the fireworks going off, you don't know if it's fireworks or Billy's got a gun right. All my dog is going to hear some loud banging and freak out, freak out, or Billy's got a gun right. All my dog is going to hear is some loud banging, that's it. And freak out, freak out. Yeah, I just. It's not funny. A lot of dogs are probably tormented, but they're in our division, so I'm going to, I'm going to pee all over them and give them my 100% Washington Nationals.
Speaker 1:Check your mailbox because there's an eel coming. You don't want that sitting in there too long. Trust me, somebody from experience is going to tell you. You don't want that look harry, since what you did it once, I'm going to get my eel out of the way for this week. Uh, this goes out to a specific person. I don't know who they are. Oh, it's something that I uh, well, not really mystery maybe, because, uh, let me get into it.
Speaker 1:So the new trend right now if you have a yeep, or as most people call my jeep, is the ducks. Yes, not mighty ducks, not charlie conway and the bash bros, but those rubber ducks. Now I did see a funny video where a guy went duck hunting and left a real duck on the door handle for somebody and they freaked out Love that. This goes out to somebody else. Now you got too many ducks on your thing. Can't really hit the gas too hard. I mean, it's a Jeep, you're not going to hit it too hard and like those fly off at you. But what about a Chevrolet Tahoe that I saw recently, Harry, that you know? They were just trying to fit in with the crowd. They have zero idea about the story of the ducks. Right, you had the Jeep Wave, now you have the Jeep Ducks. I'm sitting there. They were facing the opposite direction from me. I went in the parking lot and they just had their dash lined with these rubber ducks. What are you doing? I mean, people love rubber ducks.
Speaker 1:As soon as I saw it, I immediately stopped what I was doing and I messaged Harry. I was like I have my eel for this week here. It is right here. Unfortunately, I was unable to get a photograph of it to upload to our page. So what our social media team is also doing let me sneak back here talking about our Facebook page they are going to be posting all of our real world eels if we're able to get pictures of it, because we want the world to know, and I might just install a fish tank in the bed of my truck to keep live eels at all times, just to hand them out. That's actually a really good idea, right? Uh, you had ashton kutcher, who used to jump out and say you've been punked. Well, what if we just hop out and say you've been eeled and then run off?
Speaker 1:I don't like to talk negative on the show. Right, like being happy, being happy and positive, and that's what I feel like people like our show. Yeah, is there a saying or an expression or a small thing that just makes you angry, like a saying yeah, Weedon boys, it's our year, Okay, okay, not Cowboys related. There might be right, but it's like I try not to remember them. I don't know why this is so stupid. I don't know why this is so stupid. I don't know why, but I'm driving home and I'm stuck behind a tractor a farm tractor, not an 18-wheeler tractor, because you live out in the country, I do and he's doing 12 miles an hour uphill. So we're chugging along.
Speaker 1:And then there's business to my right and see the saying click, call or stop it, just like. Why is that bothering me so much right now? And then I realized I don't like. I have no reason to not like that. It's one of the smartest way to say hey, you can take your order by phone, we can take online orders or in person. It's. It's actually, it's smart. Yeah, I could.
Speaker 1:I saw that today and I was like that just made me mad Click, call or stop ordering. That's how I heard it in my head hey, everybody, there's a lot of things that have that or say that Maybe that's my problem, or it was the tractor, but I saw that today and that just blood started boiling. I was like click, call. I think it's probably a mixture of all of it, like you're stuck behind, I'm assuming, a bright green tractor, yes, yes, chugging along and he's probably listening to Kenny Chesney. And she does not think your tractor sexy 15 minutes from home. I just want to go home. And then I saw that and I was just like hope that business is very successful. Yeah, I hope they are successful, but I want you to find out like I catch your jingle. Yeah, put your phone number, your website and call it a day, right.
Speaker 1:There are commercials that would irritate me. I don't want to think about too many of them because then it's going to be stuck in my head. Yes, right, but for the younger generation, commercials are what we had during television shows. That was our bathroom break. I was actually watching, we were watching live television and a commercial came on and a five-year-old said, hey, why are there ads? Yeah, and I said, well, commercials. And no, we cannot fast forward. Unless you're our father, my man will pause a show. Yeah, sit on his phone for 15 minutes and then resume said show so he can fast forward the commercials. Right, instead of just big brain. Big brain, I mean, I'm not even mad, that's a big brain. Move right there Recently. What was? I'm not even mad Like that's a big brain. Move right there Recently. What was I doing? I think I was in the garage working and I had TV on Live TV via my digital antennae.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and Olivia goes. What is that? I'm like it's a commercial. What's a commercial? It's our old school potty break time. I'm trying to teach her this and she was. I have no idea we're talking about. Just just hit pause like man, these kids, because I I will take, say this, harry, and I guess I'll go on a tangent here. It's not what annoys me, not a jingle. What annoys me is, especially with my oldest reagan, when she would watch uh cartoons, be on nickelodeon or disney.
Speaker 1:They had kid specific commercials. Yes, I'm talking about the toothpaste container that you dipped a straw and you made Disney. They had kid specific commercials. Yes, I'm talking about the toothpaste container that you dipped a straw and you made bubbles out of it. Yeah, like these rubber bubbles, dad, I want that. No, oh, here's Polly Pocket with 875 small chuggable pieces. Dad, I want that. No, I get it. Yeah, you're going to advertise to your audience. Yeah, of course, if it's a football game, guess what commercials you're going to get Adult beverage commercials? Yeah, wings, wings, beer, sports the type of commercials that were on kids shows, which I know for a fact. We did the same thing to mom and dad. Yeah, but that's what irritated me.
Speaker 1:Now, harry, sometimes it's not the saying that irritates me, it's the person saying it. Okay, yeah, like I wasn't, I don't think yeet. Yeet used to bother me a lot, really, even before jay uso right, because you know I'm more getting back into wrestling and you've been there Mm-hmm, but we talked about this before Jey Uso yelling and I'm on board man, give me the yeet glasses. I'm going to wave the hands with him. But a couple years ago, there's somebody I knew that used yeet and it felt like it was. He was using it incorrectly, so therefore it irritated me, and he knew that it irritated people, so therefore he continued to do it and I'm like I just want to. I want to smack him in the throat with four knuckles and a fast motion. Yeah, that's a. I mean, I feel like I can still use yeet. We still use yeet all the time at work.
Speaker 1:I work with people my age. Yeah, none of the. We don't use any new slang, though. Yeah, I mean, that is pretty skibbity. I don't know what that means Me neither, I just know it's a catchy thing the kids say, and then my teenager gets mad when I say it and I just think it sounds really cool.
Speaker 1:It sounds like some ska music, that like no doubt, or who's that orchestra guy? Trans siberian orchestra, no, ben orchestra. Anyway, they play ska music. Do I know what ska music is? Brian wilson's orchestra brian, actually perfect timing, I gotta pee. And setzer orchestra I was so close, unmute helps. The brian setzler setzer orchestra. Wait, that's not an old song, no, it's like 15, 20 years old. Oh my God, I thought that was like an old song. No, but Sky is like the Enough about that toilet. Riz buddy, keep it tugging.
Speaker 1:Let's go upstream, let's go to, let's go to the fan voted bracket. Bad guys you cheered for. We are in the final four. Four, four, four, four. Harry, we've reached it Final four. Some people call it the semifinals, but here we, like the NCAA way Final four teams AFC championship versus NFC championship. Here we go, harry, pick the A or B, b, b it is from the right side. Tiger versus Panther Versus Tony Soprano.
Speaker 1:I still have a problem with Gru, but Gru, some people call him Dad, some call him Mr Gru, going against Tony Soprano, some people call him Antony Big T, some people call him Anthony Big T and they call him boss. This was a barn burner, harry, coming down to 69 to 31. The king of New Jersey is moving on. Thank goodness, gru is not a bad guy. Nah, I mean, he's a. He's a supervillain, right? So his title? He was a supervillain. Yeah, he was a super villain. Yeah, he was a super villain, but he's a good guy. I mean, you're talking to my guy all wrong here. Yeah, tony Soprano, number one seed, would you say. I mean, I know for you, but I'll take your opinion out of it. Nope, nope, I'm going to save it. He's in the championship round, he is. You would not have the Wire, you would not have Breaking Bad, yeah, without Anthony Sermon. That's a very fair statement.
Speaker 1:Sir Brian Cranston came out and said they asked him how do you feel about James Gandolfini passing? And he straight up said you would not have Walter White, you would not have Heisenberg if it was not for Tony Soprano. Yeah, but that's just for the right side, harry. Let's go to the left side. Strong side Two dark evil people, Two that we cheer for Dexter Morgan from the show Dexter Going against the Undertaker.
Speaker 1:Both I've cheered for One longer than the other. I mean, we literally had a good talk about wrestling today. So you know where my vote is. Undertaker is one of my top three. He's probably my number one all-time favorite wrestler. Not probably, he is my number one all-time favorite wrestler. But now Dexter Morgan is one of the craziest shows I've ever watched.
Speaker 1:It was actually the. I think might have been one of the first shows I binged, like when it came out on Netflix. I binged. It got to the point to where, like, I was itching to leave work to go home and watch more. It was that great of a show. Right, because Dexter's a bad guy, I don't want to give it away, but he's, let's just say, vigilante. Love it five. Don't let those numbers distract you.
Speaker 1:This one was tight, but on one side, the King of New Jersey moves on. Therefore it only makes it right. To the left side, the Prince of Darkness moves on. The Undertaker beat Dexter Morgan. That makes me happy. That's a weird matchup, dude, the Prince of Darkness versus the King of New Jersey. It's one of those you can never naturally even not even naturally, but you can never like put bad guys together in your brain, up against each other, and I don't think no one would ever put the undertaker versus tony soprano. No, not this late in the matchup, maybe early on, like this was crazy about the randomizer is, this could have been a first round matchup, but realistically this is our championship bout right here. I'm happy because my favorite pick is in the championship. You're happy because your favorite pick's in the championship. I think this is the first bracket that that's happened. I think this is the very first one.
Speaker 1:This was supposed to just be a quick, easy bracket. Nothing too crazy, easy fun. Yeah, nothing too crazy. Nope, easy fun, relaxing, nothing too serious. And here we are living our best lives. So on the Trout Stream Facebook page, the updated bracket will be posted and the only poll that matters this week will be out the Undertaker versus Tony Soprano. I'm excited. I know you're excited. You're speechless. I'm without words right now. This is going to be an interesting battle. It's going to be interesting, but it's not going to be as interesting as what the Belgians are hunting for In this week's PWN Polls.
Speaker 1:Weird News here is your host. Hey, harry, thanks for that. Shout out out here on the streets. Now I know you're talking about some headlines. How about this one here? We've all had some friends. What about this fabulous feathered friend found wandering in the greatest city in the country? Coincidentally, this wasn't on purpose.
Speaker 1:Animal rescuers in Philadelphia had to respond to an unusual situation when a resident found a wandering peacock on their front step. Animal care control team of philadelphia, as we like to call them around here, the acct, said the rescuers were called out on a report of a loose peacock in the city. I have so many questions for this. Yeah, but here's a quote, and this is why it's also on pwn this fabulous feathered friend was spotted strutting through the city like he had brunch reservations and no time to waste. This is an official quote from the animal care and control team. Not, hey, man, we had a loose peacock out here. He, he, uh. Yeah, you know where he was going. No, like he had brunch reservations and he was late. See official statement. Official statement Also.
Speaker 1:You know, it's going to be that kind of day when your morning meeting gets interrupted by wandering peacock on your front step. Bro, we can't see you on camera here. Uh, is your camera? Tom? Tom, where are you guys? You're not gonna believe this. There's a whole peacock outside, tom's just trying to get out of work. Right now it seems like hey, tom, uh, why don't you come back to the office for a drug test? All right, I promise you it's a real thing. However, the bird's owner has not been identified yet. So you're telling me somebody had a peacock as a pet just in downtown philly.
Speaker 1:Now, harry, let's, uh, let's go, harry, let's go on an airplane, let's go to Philadelphia International Airport and let's head eastbound to Europe. We're going to visit a little country called Belgium. Now, recently we all know Easter Sunday just happened and what happens every Easter Sunday. Now some people do it Saturdays, but Easter Sunday, harry, one of the most popular events that happens is the Easter egg hunt. Kids line up. They can't find their shoes that are right in front of their face, but they will find six dozen Easter eggs hidden in a bush Well. A brewery in Belgium decided let's mix it up a little bit, so they swapped painted eggs for frothy brews as they celebrated Easter with the quote world's biggest beer hunt.
Speaker 1:This is the fifth annual Easter event at the A-Wires Gardens in Lassney, belgium, and they saw over 1,000 registered hunters. First off, you've got to register to hunt for these things. Well, 1,000 of them, man, that's a lot. You've heard of a fishing license. You've heard of a hunting license. You've heard of a driving license. Now here's your beer hunting license.
Speaker 1:Oh man, they were searching grounds for 12,000 hidden bottles of Lutgaard beer, which I've heard is very good. Belgian beer is some of my favorite. Now here's a real competition, harry. Here's why a thousand people showed up. Hidden among the beers was a special golden bottle which earned his finer, a special prize. Their weight in beer. Oh bloody, I would bankrupt a brewery. Bring it on Like do I get a giant vat of it? Or is it a bottle equivalent? Because I mean they hid 12 000 beers for a thousand people. Everybody's getting a 12 rack out of it, average, average, 12 average, but I don't know, like their hiding skills. Or was it like a giant open field like they do for kids and be like run? So here's what the brewery did.
Speaker 1:The event began with a chocolate egg hunt for children at noon. All right, at noon, chocolate egg hunt by the bay. You do your Easter thing at home At noon, come to the brewery. The beer hunt commenced at 1230. So the kids had 30 minutes. Get your eggs, get them in the basket, get back, get out A barbecue at 130. So Get back, get out A barbecue at 1.30. So they had an hour to hunt for these beers. At 1.30, they had a barbecue. That allowed the hunters to relax, enjoy some of their collections. Harry, it went so well that they had a second round take place Monday. What so? Easter Monday, they had another find. And now, speaking about another find, let's get back on that airplane. Let's go back to the area of our golden trout. Let's head up to the oven mitt, michigan.
Speaker 1:This is probably one of the scariest stories I've read. A Michigan man ended up waist deep on an unstable beach with quick sand. Quick sand, harry, is no longer a figment of your imagination. Not only did he find himself in quick sand, but then he found himself in a relationship. So we've all seen quick sand in films, you know. A daring adventure. Suddenly stuck in a life-threatening vortex of sand. That's really just a myth. That part is a myth, but it didn't make anything less scary for our buddy old mitchell from michigan, who slowly began to sink.
Speaker 1:He was on a beach on the north shore of lake michigan with his friend brianne, and they were hunting for blue stones, like, apparently blue sounds like a big thing up there, like I don't know. Maybe some of our michigan folks, well, from lake michigan, can tell me what a blue stone is. I assume it's a stone that's blue. It may diamond that you're hunting for Kind of like beer in Belgium, but you don't need a license for it in Michigan. So recently they did some dredging on the beach. For what reason, who knows? Maybe just a dredge. And as he's walking he goes. Man, the sand feels a little unstable and he goes. That looks really dangerous. Even his female friend, brianna, said yes, it does look really dangerous.
Speaker 1:Next thing, you know, he got one foot stuck as he was trying to get the electronics out of his pocket. First off, he says, getting all the electronics out of my pocket, but I knew not to panic. Harry, this is where it gets crazy. I have to be a macho man. You can't ask for help when you're trying to impress the girl you're with. Bro, if I'm in quicksand, anybody and everybody's gonna help me. Yeah, your grandma's gonna help me. Oh, no, somebody's helping me. I don't care if you can reach my arm, you better hold on tight.
Speaker 1:So they both call 9-1-1 because, uh oh, mitch is stuck in the quicksand. And this is where it gets really weird, harry. There is two platonic friends out on the beach collecting blue stones. Once they finally get through the 911, she says I need help, my boyfriend is stuck in quicksand. And meanwhile, at the same time, 911 goes. Oh, you're connecting me. I think my girlfriend is on the line with you guys, thank you. So it's the first time they admitted it. This is where the weird news is they weren't dating. I mean, they both have feelings for each other, but they weren't dating.
Speaker 1:It took an emergency for him to get stuck in quicksand. I want to believe part of this is hey, man, I think this is unstable over here. It's quicksand, let's jump in on it. But four firefighters had to help him out. They put a rope around him, pulled him out. One firefighter joined in the muck, being careful not to fall it in himself. Right, because if I want to help somebody, I'm not going to fall in danger. Yeah, no, I'm out. I mean, that makes the most sense. They say it took about 10 minutes for him to get out, which is what it took 10 minutes to pull him out. After this, the local fire department said hmm, we should probably put signs up to say enter your own risk Possible quicksand around here.
Speaker 1:So talk about going out hunting this episode for bluestones and you leave with a relationship and some really sandy shorts. That's it for me, out here on the streets, back to you in Studio T, I went past one today and it was for sale and I thought they wanted way too much money for it. We've talked about our love of station wagons here. Yes, sure, which some people might find unique or weird. You know we all have our dream trucks and our race cars that we want, and this and a third.
Speaker 1:I want to hear your random car that you loved or love that no one else likes. So I have one that I want to this day. I have a couple actually, but there's two that stick out to me right away that I want that maybe not everyone loved. Still a huge fan of station wagons. It has to be wood panel station wagon. Yeah, that's not everyone's cup of tea. That's not everyone's cup of tea, but that's mine. I love that thing Like Griswold Christmas Vacation. That is mine. I love that thing Like Griswold Christmas vacation. It doesn't have to be the green Cause, I want the kind of like the tan and Brown with the wood panel. Yes, sir, I saw a picture of one the other day and it was like the cleanest thing ever. There's other cars that like, of course everybody else wants that. I want, yeah, you want to hear one of mine.
Speaker 1:Yes, the PT cru of mine. Yes, the PT Cruiser really I loved a PT Cruiser, was never a big fan. No one is. No one is a fan of the PT Cruiser. People who bought PT Cruisers didn't even like PT Cruisers. Yeah, but they were everywhere. They were so popular that Chevy was like crap, we need to do something. And they came out with the HHR and then all that imploded, thank goodness.
Speaker 1:But yeah, I would. That's a little beater, you know what I mean. Yeah, they didn't have a lot of leg room. I would get a PT cruiser and just beat the crap out of it. We went to Tijuana, florida, one time and our chief they gave him a bright orange, like a burnt orange, pumpkin color one, and those are his words. I'm not driving a pumpkin car around. Who wants to use it? So that's the trip, or chance that we're getting cheeseburgers and, uh, milkshakes everywhere we we want. I can't remember if it was an hhr or pt cruiser, but it had a lot of leg room surprisingly a lot of legs. Probably the cruiser dude. It had to have been the cruiser dude. It had to have been the cruiser. They make a convertible one from factory. Stop, dude, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:Like, we were watching Mecham's auction the other week at work and there were some cars, of course, like all of us wanted, like old Camaros yeah, I'm not a Corvette guy, I'm not a Porsche guy, too small for me but like an A's square body chevy truck. Okay, okay, just get rid of the word chevy, give me an a's square body truck. Before the big craze, like for years, I was a huge fan of them. I've always been a fan of them. Not everybody wants one, but I want, like the primer, brown one. No, I want an ugly one. Yeah, I want an ugly. I want an ugliest scent, clean interior though, but like the exterior, I don't care.
Speaker 1:My other car was the ssr by chevy, that weird pickup race car thing. Yeah, yeah, that's hit. That's a hideous vehicle, very hideous car. It was past meets future, but they did not do it right. No, I've always been fascinated by these Ford Falcons. Okay, yeah, maybe the old Pontiac makes the Chieftain, which is just basically a steel tank. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:Give me a 70s, 80s Crown Vic. I drove one one time and on the turnpike which people who don't know our speed limit is 70 miles an hour on our turnpike and that thing is not meant to do 70 miles an hour constantly because it is a rectangle on wheels. That's all it is. It's terrifying to drive that thing. It was shaking so bad it wanted to take flight. Like give me, I don't know what it is about 80s vehicles. They're just so square but like an 85 Crown Vic or late 80s Grand Marquis. Well, same car. Essentially it's the same car, but I want the boat, I want the 30-foot hood, I want the bench seat front and I want the boat. I want the 30 foot hood, I want the bench seat front and I want the bench seat back. I could fit three car seats in the back, I can fit three people riding up front and, if I need to, I can shove two kids on the floorboards in the back seat and we are set for a road trip With that.
