#86 - FOUR LEGGED GOLDEN GIRLS
Cast a line and join Harry and Paul Troutman as they reel in another entertaining episode filled with their signature blend of humor, unusual stories, and friendly banter.
The duo kicks off by sharing their Memorial Day weekend adventures, with Paul proudly announcing the completion of his five-year kitchen appliance transition journey. His detailed account of installing an over-the-range microwave provides unexpected comedy as he confesses to fishing the instructions out of the trash. Meanwhile, Harry recounts his camping escapades, complete with encounters at an "apple juice cart" offering potent one-sip servings and the challenges of babysitting while his friends were welcoming baby Henry into the world.
NASCAR fans will appreciate the hosts' enthusiastic review of the Coca-Cola 600, with special praise for Amazon Prime's exceptional coverage. The conversation takes a delightfully bizarre turn when they discuss the inaugural "Wienermobile 500," where six Oscar Mayer Wienermobiles raced around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway—an event Paul describes with the enthusiasm of a professional sports announcer.
The episode showcases their knack for finding humor in unexpected places, from Paul's frustration with Igloo coolers that can't fit six beverages to their surprisingly passionate discussion about onions. Their "Funny State Laws" segment keeps listeners guessing about where it's illegal to play dominoes on Sunday or get married at a skating rink.
Don't miss "Paul's Weird News," featuring helicopter-evacuated cows in Switzerland, a World War I grenade discovered in a potato chip factory, and the Philadelphia Zoo naming baby tortoises after the Golden Girls. The hosts also announce their next fan-voted bracket: favorite summertime barbecue side dishes, promising more entertaining debates to come.

Speaker 2:86, like radon, the radioactive noble gas, just like us, except for we're just full of it.
Speaker 1:We are full of it. Before we get started, let's give a shout out to two random listeners. One in Smithland, kentucky, okay, and I hope you are just as excited as I am for this next one, winnebago Minnesota.
Speaker 2:Winnebago. Well, I hope we made it. We have officially made it.
Speaker 1:Well, I'll be. We made it Officially made it.
Speaker 2:Goodness, I am in Winnebago.
Speaker 1:We made it to Winnebago, I really hope that they, like, somehow get our show on cassette tapes and put it inside the Winnebago. Well, winnebago's have come a long way. You know they're digital too Now. A long way they're digital too now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but it's not as fun. Not as fun. It was fun that time. We took one upstate on a family trip. Yes, that was a very good time. Somehow I got stuck driving and I hit a curb and dad was like what are you doing? Do you know how to drive this thing? And in my head I'm like no, no, as a matter of fact, I so you know how to drive this thing and in my head I'm like no, no, as a matter of fact, I don't know how to drive this thing I have not the appropriate training while driving a school bus that's eight feet high and, uh, I can't see the right side of the car yeah, I may have ran over somebody a little scary.
Speaker 2:It was scary, I'm not gonna lie, it was scary yeah, I think I may have spilled my drink out in the back.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, it was just good, wholesome family fun that weekend. Speaking of it was Memorial Day weekend. Here on the Trash Stream, we are very thankful for those who made the ultimate sacrifice so we can live in this great country we call the United States. It should not be remembered one day out of the year in particular, but all year long. But it should not be remembered one day out of the year in particular, but all year long. But it is a three-day weekend. Paul, tell me about you and the family's amazing Memorial Day weekend.
Speaker 2:Well, for some Americans it's three, but for me it was a four-day weekend. I knew it.
Speaker 1:I knew it All. Right, folks, that's been episode 86. I don't want to deal with them today.
Speaker 2:I don't work too hard. Uh, no. So I got set up for, uh, I was asked to hey, can you make ramen noodles your special way? And as I was middle cutting grass, I'm like, all right, I'm coming inside, I walk inside and I grabbed the microwave handle and the handle stayed in my hand. The door door did not open, oh nice. So there were some young ladies here just looking at me like, ooh, you broke the microwave, knowing very well that I was set up.
Speaker 2:So I just finished kind of grasping at some research and, harry, I can officially say, for the first time in five years, my four major appliances in my kitchen all match. Again, round of applause, buddy 2020, my fridge went out and I started the transition from all white appliances to the black and stainless steel. Yeah, the microwave was last piece. Yeah, microwave was last piece, got a huge sale and, harry, I had the ultimate guy moment. So we researched and we found out exactly which microwave we wanted. Take one with the stove, perfect. Go up to the one Lowe's on one side of town and said, yep, we want this exact item number. They're like oh, we were going to inform you. We are zero balance. However, our sister store across town has two of them. So Sabrina and I got in the old Silverado, drove across town, walk up to the appliance guy and he looks at me big, just standing there going yeah that's it, I'm here for microwave, he goes.
Speaker 2:Well, which one? I said item number 383094. He's like, oh, you're talking about the one we don't have a floor model for. I said, yes, sir. He's like I'll be right back, goes to the back and three minutes later with a brand new cart, because ours had a wobbly wheel has the microwave goes. Hey, man, I got you a new buggy and I was like I don't know, there's no horse on it. This one doesn't wobble, but here's a microwave, you want it? He just looked at me like you know the item number. I'm like I know what I'm here for.
Speaker 2:So then I got to install my first ever over the range microwave and it was not as bad as I thought it would be. That's a little intimidating. Uh. Well, what's intimidating is the first rule should be well, okay. Second rule pull the instructions out of the trash can and read them. Yeah, no, because once I did that I realized, hey, this mount that I've been looking for is already attached. So other than that, that went in, did some yard work on Sunday. We barbecued Sunday because Monday, uh, it was just pouring rain. We knew the storm. It was a big storm that came rolling through on Monday. So we Monday we just uh lounge around. We played board games with all the girls, watched TV all day and literally just had a bum lung lounging kind of day. Nothing wrong with that man, but see, what else is not wrong is I want to hear all about your camping weekend at your new campsite that we discussed on. Episode 85 went down saturday morning.
Speaker 1:Actually, I had to build a storage box where we're gonna keep our folding chairs and all that, all the outside stuff.
Speaker 1:That was fairly easy just snap together and then met up with our friends. We ate dinner together, had a great time. And then there's a certain golf cart that comes around and it's blaring good old music and we run out to see what it is and it's an apple juice cart, free of charge, where they make five or six different style of one sip apple juices. If you're picking up what I'm putting down, I'm picking up what you're putting down one sip apple juices.
Speaker 2:If you're picking up what I'm putting down, I'm picking up what you're putting down One sip apple juice, I'm in.
Speaker 1:And, yeah, I ended up with three sips of apple juice. Let me say when you don't drink apple juice as often as I do, because I don't three hits you pretty quick. Went back to camp, angie and I played some fun card games. I almost fell out of bed. The next day we woke up beautiful and cold. It was so cold if, like if, I could give an eel to mother nature not that I ever would, no you can't do that royal day weekend.
Speaker 1:It's like the start of summer and it was. We woke up to 55 degrees, man, oh, that sounds glorious right now it's, it's nice, but when you kind of want the warm weather, you're like hmm.
Speaker 1:I don't like lunch because we met up with our friends, had a late lunch because quick golden trout, my nephew Henry Stephen, was born on Monday. So congrats to Katie and Steve and baby Henry. So while they were having a baby Ange and I decided to watch the other kids. It was three on two, three kids, two us's. Those numbers were not great they were never in our favor.
Speaker 2:No, you're playing zone defense at that point.
Speaker 1:We rallied, we came through. At one point Ange had to leave and then come back, so it was me alone for an hour and a half and that was tough.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to lie, you're playing cover one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Good luck out there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was. It was a lot. I'm not going to lie to you. It was a lot, but we got through it. You know, the defense really came through at the end and came back. Everyone is happy and healthy. That was. That was my memorial day weekend yeah, defense wins championships.
Speaker 1:I like it I don't know if we want, I don't want to say that was a win that day. We got through it. You know. It's just like. You know you're going up against an undefeated team and you're, you're, you're, you're three and twelve. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1:yeah, no yeah, he's gonna keep from scoring 100 against you yeah yeah, yeah, let's just not go in the record books today, guys and guys, they score 71. We win this game, all right but it was fun, I did enjoy it, but that was it great weekend I love it week yeah, short work week, nothing better yeah, uh, this week.
Speaker 2:It's always weird when you get monday off, because you never remember what day it is.
Speaker 1:Never. Fun fact I am supposed to work in the office Tuesday, wednesday, thursday, home Monday and Friday. Tuesday. I woke up and said what am I doing up? It's Monday? And I went back to sleep. Oh yeah, it wasn't until I got on that I realized oh, today's Tuesday and I'm supposed to be in the office. Whoops, cough cough sniffle, sniffle.
Speaker 1:We had the Coca-Cola 600. Kyle Larson tried to run the repeat again. The double wrecked both races. Kind of sad. Congrats on even attempting it Not everyone. You don't see an Indy guy attempting it you know it's always an NASCAR guy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I wanted to give him the eel for trying to double and then crashing out of both, but he tried.
Speaker 1:He tried, and that's more than what 39 other drivers can say that day.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 100%, well, more.
Speaker 1:than that because you got all the Indy guys, exactly.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's probably like 60-some guys.
Speaker 1:It was a great race. I actually watched the whole thing. I was very pleased because for the first time in a long time we had a last place car window race, you know, made me very mad. We will discuss why it made you mad. All that matters for this is I beat you this week. You did I go first on 86. We both have one that's clear as day. Clear as day. I'll let you have them. I feel like you'll do better justice. Mine is a movie star, all right. He had one role in the Dark Knight Rises, yeah.
Speaker 2:He had one run.
Speaker 1:That is none other than Pittsburgh's Heinz Ward. The reason I go with Heinz Ward today is because he was one of the first I've mentioned it before a couple of athletes that I really liked, that weren't on the Eagles and kind of like, opened my mind to, you know, maybe liking a player, not necessarily a team, right? Heinz Ward, for me, was one of those guys. I liked him, I thought, and I thought he was a nice guy too.
Speaker 1:I mean, he was very easy to cheer for, I think is the best way to describe him.
Speaker 2:I never had an issue with Heinz Ward. No, I mean maybe a game here or there, Maybe if I'm playing against somebody back in the day who had him in fantasy, or I knew somebody who was a Steelers fan this happens more often than not with me is if I don't like you or you really annoy me. Anytime your sports teams are not mentioned. I hate them. Baltimore Ravens Can't stand them. Detroit Tigers.
Speaker 1:Really.
Speaker 2:That's a random team dude. I know a guy who's a huge Tigers fan. I don't ever want to see this guy again. So because of that, whenever I see the Tigers I think of him and it enrages me.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, same thing with the Baltimore Ravens. So I completely understand. It's someone I do not care for. I respect the Tigers.
Speaker 2:I think they have had some phenomenal players. I like the old school, I like their logos, I like their uniforms, but just something about them enrages me.
Speaker 1:No, it's completely fair. I think that's one of the fun of sports.
Speaker 2:It's like me never wanting to visit New York City because I hate all New York football teams or all the sports teams.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's fair we went, but you'd be surprised. Yeah, I mean, I get it. When I went in 2017 for the Super Bowl where we won, I wore my Eagles jersey and a lot of Go Birds and a lot of Giants fans even saying, hey, same division, I'm rooting for you guys, so you might be surprised. I guess I could be. There were also people were yelling at me, though. So yeah, yeah, good with the bad, but 86, who do you?
Speaker 2:got, I got two. I got two big ones here. First one here, lesser known but I think, has one of the greatest catches of all time. That does not get talked about very often Green Bay Packers number 86, antonio Freeman. I can still picture it. I think it was Monday night game, sideline route. He's going Number four, steps back, brett Favre throws the ball up, it's tipped. Antonio Freeman lays to the ground and the ball boop bounces off his chest and he grabs it. He lays there for a second, rolls over, gets up and runs the extra 10, 15 yards for a touchdown and everybody's like what is going on? And this is before instant replay, this is before you can replay things. And everybody watching is like did that just happen? And the ref watched the whole thing going nope, he was never touched. I think that's the same game where Brett Favre won and they asked him about that touchdown pass and he's like I don't remember. I think it might have been Green Bay against the Raiders, after Brett Favre's dad just passed away.
Speaker 2:Now, harry, my next 86 is the lone 86. It's the number one. 86. Most receptions in a season, I think by a tight end 86. Super Bowl champ married to an Olympic gold medalist. Their child is going to be a professional athlete in whatever sport they want to be. Women want him, men want to be him, except for us. He wants to be us. Zach Ertz, I think in his prime on the field, top three tight end in NFL. That's an old statement, dude For his era, not all time For his era.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay.
Speaker 2:I will agree with that Okay. No, no, no. I have a list of tight ends that would trump him. He wouldn't even crack the top ten. I don't think, and I love Zach Ertz. Zach Zachers is probably one of my favorite tight ends in Philly history Number two for me.
Speaker 1:I was thinking about Zachers today, before we were even recording, and we're going to talk about Brett Selick next week we're not going to, not but he was like the first tight end for us that actually was productive, consistently productive. It didn't feel like just the sixth lineman.
Speaker 2:Yeah, or going out for needed first downs. He was a weapon yeah, he was a legit weapon that teams had to plan against. Look, I can tell you right now, for this episode and three following, I will be mentioning an Eagles tight end.
Speaker 1:And the other three. You're right, I don't want to ruin it, okay, no, you 17 players in MLB history have worn 86. The first wasn't until 2020.
Speaker 2:Once again, baseball's been around since explorers were stealing land in Montana and yet we got to wait all this time to get somebody wearing 86. Harry, I see you're 17. I'm going to divide that by eight and a half, give or take. And in NBA history we're switching roles here. Nba history, there have been two players. This is NBA and ABA history. By the way, okay, I really look up NBA and ABA history because it's more fun to bring in the ABA history, kind of like did you know? The Indiana Pacers have three championships, but they were in the ABA, and the Knicks have two championships around the same time when they were in the NBA. So in 1970 and 1973 they both were champions at the same time. And here they are in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Speaker 1:Good for them.
Speaker 2:But going back to number 86 in the NBA, let's talk about a team that is not in each conference finals the Boston Celtics. Both 86s are from Boston and Harry here's the wildest part of the whole thing it was the same year. First one was Chris Johnson and the second one was oh man, I don't get paid to pronounce names Samai Erdin, both in 2011. So there's two guys in history who have worn 86. Two guys played for the same team On the same year and that's it In 2011. Absolutely wild. What are the chances of that? I have no idea. Probably one in how many basketball players have been in history? Divide that by two, so one in like 17 000. But talking about one in 17 000, that's probably, uh, your chances of going to college football and being drafted in the nfl. Harry, I have some doozies this week. I have several 86 overall draft picks. As always, let's start from newest to oldest, because this one is an interesting list. Teen Kareem Hunt Swore he went sooner, swore he went before 86, but yeah, so is life, as my wife likes to say. I was wrong. Diamond in the rough for a very short period of time, more like a flash in a pan. David Johnson Arizona Cardinals. I think he led the league in rushing one year. He was top three for a couple years and then disappeared. Yeah, you laugh at the guy in your fantasy league. They took him in the fourth round. What are you taking him for? Boom, he just won a championship, 2014,. Philadelphia Eagles selected Josh Huff 86 overall. Not a bad pick. Not a bad pick.
Speaker 2:Let's go to 2006. Name only don't know the guy. Mr Dave Thomas was drafted in 2006. Wendy's founder and creator. When I was reading the draft picks, I saw that I was like he has square burgers because Wendy's doesn't cut corners. True statement no, not the same David Thomas, but hilarious. Now, when I told you it would get good, harry, it's going to get good.
Speaker 2:Let's go back to 1996. Are you thirsty Because I got a Teddy Brewski for you, new England Patriots. Hate the guy, not as a person, but just Brewski for you. New England Patriots 96?. Hate the guy, not as a person, but just wild to think he was drafted in 1996. Wow, yeah, I mean really. They won their first Super Bowl in 01, 02. So he was only in the league five, six years at that point, which makes pretty good timing, and then he won several more. Let's go back further, harry, to 1985. Buffalo bills like andre reed, which I didn't realize he was 85, but it makes sense because late 80s, early 90s, when the buffalo bills won the four straight superbowls, andre reed was number one receiver uh, that'll do it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that'll do it. Oh, but let's go back further, harry, to 1982. One of the greatest at his position of all time. Morton anderson what a name. One of the greatest at his position of all time. Morton Anderson. What a name. One of the greatest kickers of all time. Morton Anderson, it's one of those presidential names. It is, or like, greatest of all time. If his name was like Keith Anderson, you're like who? I'm not going to remember his name. Keith Anderson, morton Anderson, that's an elemental name, that is.
Speaker 1:The 86 car has 321 races under its belt, with one win in 1961 by Buck Baker. Buck Baker, some of these old NASCAR guys don't sound real at all. Some of them don't. Buck Baker, what kind of? It sounds like a generic TV name.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Once again. Morton Anderson, Buck Baker.
Speaker 1:It sounds like you're watching cable TV and they're like. His cousin from Alabama, buck Baker, came up to see him and now they're both dead. Hold me to see him and now they're both dead. Hold me. The 86 high and selling album in the us is elvis presley elvis christmas album man.
Speaker 2:Whenever elvis is on an album so he looks at somebody, he goes. I'm saving all my love for you.
Speaker 1:He sings with his heart. 86 billboard top 100 song Paula Abdul, rush rush.
Speaker 2:Such a great song.
Speaker 1:We have a new movie this week. 86 highest grossing movie is Star Wars, episode 3, revenge of the Sith.
Speaker 2:I don't know if I should be proud or not, but I'm also a contributing member to its ranking. It wasn't all at once, but my buddies and I went to go see that one and I was so confused Are you excited?
Speaker 1:Because I'm excited, I'm always excited. We are going to talk about celebrities that are 86 years old. Are you ready? I'm always ready, man, one of my favorite things happened this week. Listen, these lists are getting smaller and smaller. We have Mari Povich Whoa, mari's 86? No wonder you retired Basketball legend Oscar Robinson Wait, oscar and Mari are the same age. Yes, christopher Lloyd is 86. Good night. John Voight yeah, 86. And he was on episode 85 and now he's on episode 86. Ian McKellen Sir Ian is back. I love when that happens, dude. Happy birthday. Now. Are you ready for the not so good list? We have Nicholas Tesla, maya Angelou, jerry West, susan.
Speaker 2:B Anthony Fred Willard. She made a good coin. Rip Fred. She did make a good coin Fred Willard.
Speaker 1:Rip Fred. She did make a good coin, Fred Willard. He's done a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 2:No, I know who he is. He was the dad on Modern Family.
Speaker 1:Yes, he was the dad slash grandpa on Modern Family Loved him. Hank Aaron Forgot Hammer and Hank passed away. I know Sometimes I go through this list and I'm like, oh wow, I did not know they passed. I'm so sorry. And last but certainly not least, no, we did not, because we did not get invited to James Garner's funeral and we love the movie my Fellow Americans.
Speaker 2:You're going to make me cry James Garner fan. I don't know if we passed it or not, but when you bring up Jack Lemon, have you? Okay, I'm going to go on a tangent here before we really dive deep, Okay. I'm going to say just hold on to that thought, hold on to that thought.
Speaker 1:All right. Like I said, we were at the Coke 600. I said we were going to talk about it later. Later is now. I did finally get to watch a whole race. It's been weeks, it was on prime. I'm gonna slide in another golden trout right here right now. Prime, amazon prime gets five races this year. Yes, amazon prime did nascar beautifully with their coverage. Yes, there's not enough good things I could say about what they did an hour pre-race, an hour post-race. The intro was absolutely amazing and stunning.
Speaker 2:The commentators were polite and entertaining and knew what they were talking about and weren't just rambling yeah, you pull carl edwards out from his ranch in missouri for him to do pre-race stuff and then for him to interview junior pre-race. Who's commentating the game, him and, uh, steve latarte. Yeah, I couldn't think of his name there for a second. Sorry, steve latarte, right?
Speaker 2:yeah, cory lejoy's in there, whatever, but like that was a solid crew very solid crew yeah, you want to look at amazon prime, but nobody loves me like you do because you took care of business.
Speaker 1:Without question, it was a great race. I just kind of want to talk about the end here real quick. Did you, were you able to enjoy said race?
Speaker 2:oh, I wasn't able to enjoy a great portion of the race not 100 wasn't able to sit in the garage in my new rocking beach chair, but I was able to partake in most of it, one of the best races of the next-gen car.
Speaker 1:I think it was one of the best races of the next-gen car. If you have Amazon Prime, we're not going to hammer NASCAR. If you have Amazon Prime, please check out the next race. I swear you will enjoy it. Ross Chastain another quick track. You know what I'm all about. The quick golden trout this week. Here's another one buddy going from last to first to win a race is phenomenal.
Speaker 2:I'm going to get started with it. So every week we pick, there was a gap in there and it came time to pick. I knew who I wanted. I had an idea who I wanted, but then I saw his starting position and so I handed my pick-em sheet over to my oldest and said pick somebody, pick anybody you want. I let her in charge this week Because the guy who I wanted is starting last.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:So it wasn't a throwaway one, it was just, and it's the longest race of the season, so this is an endurance race. Anything can happen. Anything can happen. Who do you want? And she told me to pick number eight machine Kyle Busch. Coincidentally, busch won the race. Did I call it? No, not at all, I did not.
Speaker 1:I was upset that it was his sponsor this week was Jockey Underwear and not the sweet Busch car. But to be fair, jockey probably paid a lot of money to be the car this weekend. With it being Memorial Day weekend and one of the largest races of the year, cannot blame them at all. Get your money. Trek House Racing. We're going from a long race to somewhat shorter 1.33 miles of Nashville and I will gladly take my pick first and I'm going with the 1-7 of chris, the old chris boucher.
Speaker 2:Huh, good pick, solid pick. Uh, chris boucher, fan over here. I see you're 17. I'm gonna add a couple digits to the back side of that. I'm going with arguably one of the greatest paint schemes in the circuit today. This team gives good love. This team is respectable, is solid. Enough said. Give me the 21. Wood Brothers, josh Berry.
Speaker 1:Great pick.
Speaker 2:Great pick dude. I'm a Josh Berry fan. I am too Him, and Wood Brothers, I think, is someone for me. It's a mesh of a classic ownership team and, I think, a very talented driver. I wish there was a way Wood Brothers had enough backing to be competitive for the championship, but if Josh Berry's right there, he's already in the playoffs. So Playoffs, playoffs, playoffs. We're talking about playoffs. We can talk about NASCAR, indycar all day, but I got to talk about my golden trout here, harry. I said we're doing NASCAR, I said we're doing IndyCar. I did not say we were doing racing Because for the first time ever capital E ever, all six Oscar Mayer winterienermobiles were in one location and that happened to be the Indianapolis Motor Speedway where they had a two-lap shootout of five miles.
Speaker 2:So each lap is two and a half miles. They had a six-car race around the track. I think this is great publicity. I think this is a great inaugural race and if I catch anybody saying first, first annual, you will get throat chopped. This one came down to a wire. Harry beat him by half of a bun. So each car represented a region, which is weird. You know, I guess, where they drive around. You know like, oh, you're from this region. You're from that region, which makes sense. You don't want the same guy driving coast to coast.
Speaker 1:So my Wienermobile might be different than your Wienermobile 100%.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because I'm going to have the Southeast Wienermobile who happened to edge out the Chicago Wienermobile for the Wienermobile Wienie 500. I don't know why they call it the Wienie 500. They should call it the Wienermobile Weenie 500. I don't know why they call it the Weenie 500. They should call it the Weenie 5. I think the Weenie 5 is more hilarious. It's way more hilarious because the Indy 500, the 500 tells you how many miles they're running. Right, coca-cola is 600. It's 600 miles you're running.
Speaker 2:The Weenie 5 would have been amazing, but probably wouldn't have sold as many tickets. Now, harry, here's the other best part is the driver and co-pilot of said Wienermobile, the number three machine representing the Southeast region, got to stay for the Indianapolis 500 and got special passes. They got recognized and they got to go meet drivers and everything. How cool is that? Not only did you win the inaugural Weenie 500, but now you get to stay backstage. My question now, harry, is where would we have finished First? They would have probably banned us, because whoever's driving you can drive. I'll have a handful of marbles, just throw them out like a Looney Tune. But also you're going to dump the guy in front of you right for the win.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was just getting ready to say I'm dumping on Bobbio In a heartbeat. That's my only golden trust this week. Harry Already said mine throughout the episode. Amazon Prime, ross Chastain and, of course, king Henry. Welcome to the world. Buddy, I'm too excited about our next bracket. I don't have any more golden trout. No, I'm going to kick it over to you. Let's you do the intro, buddy, let's hear it. What is our next fan voted bracket?
Speaker 2:Now, harry, we just have Memorial Day weekend, which means you're going to be barbecuing, family time, sitting by the pool, enjoying the outdoor life. I step outside in my backyard and I got that charcoal going. You know what I'm doing? I'm cooking meat burgers, dogs, sausage, ribs, brisket. I feel like Thanksgiving lady right now, but like any good wife, my wife tells me you can't just eat the meat, you got to have sides. My wife tells me you can't just eat the meat, you got to have sides. Harry, which brings us to our next fan voted bracket is going to be favorite summertime barbecue side dishes.
Speaker 1:There's a lot.
Speaker 2:There is a lot Right now. I just got really hungry because I thought of seven just now while sitting here.
Speaker 1:I'm just thinking of Mexican street corn dip and I'm just like oh, give me a spoon.
Speaker 2:Dude, I wasn't even going there. But all right, right, there's so many man, I was just thinking a bowl full of pickled onions and I'm in hold on not to go on a tangent here, but I was literally thinking of that that today.
Speaker 1:I was, I was it was my lunch break and I was meditating and I was like at what point did I just like, really start liking onions because there's why I didn't like onions, yeah, but then I got the other day. I got a salad and there was, uh, two things, paper thin, sliced red onion on there and like the onions melded in my mouth and I'm like, oh my god, this is the greatest thing I've ever eaten.
Speaker 2:And there's a sliced onion I don't know what it is, but there comes a point in your life where you rank onions in the order that you like them, and red onion is number one, and I was thinking like oh, I remember be.
Speaker 1:I particularly remember being a kid and getting onion rings and there was the actual like thick onion ring kind. You know what I'm talking about with the actual onion inside and not the minced up onion like Burger King and I thought they were the minced up onion ones because I like those and I bit it and the onion came out and slapped me in the face. It was hot and I was like, oh, and now I get those onion rings and I'm like my God, yes.
Speaker 2:Give me all the onions.
Speaker 1:What happened?
Speaker 2:Is there just a point in life like your first gray hair comes out and you're like I, like onions now Well, first off, I never had a gray hair, so I wouldn't know if that's it, but I think you just hit a point in life where you're like is it every seven years your taste buds change? I don't know. I don't know, I like onions.
Speaker 1:Maybe onions could just be a side dish in our bracket. We could just have a whole onion bracket later.
Speaker 2:I was just going to say that and got it down in my own head really quick. Yeah, I'm writing it down on my show sheet. Onion bracket, onion rings burger slices, pickles.
Speaker 1:Guys, you're on episode 86. Are you out of bracket ideas? Already You're doing your favorite onion bracket. No, we're just two dudes that like onions. What else can you get? But I am very excited about your favorite barbecue summer side dish.
Speaker 2:I'll be posting that on our Facebook page and our revamped TikTok. So make sure you get all of your inputs in as soon as you can, because pretty soon I'm going to be posting that bracket we're going to build. Whether we have 8, 16 or 32 entries. Harry, I could build a 64 entry bracket, just myself. Yeah, it's not hard, dude, but it would not be as interesting if we didn't have our fan interaction. So be on the lookout. I'm going to submit those. I'm going to drop it down. I'm going to drop it. You comment, fill it out. That's enough about our fan vote at BRAC. We can talk all day about onions and barbecues and side dishes, but you know what time it is. It's for Funny. State Laws Still exists today, this week, brought to you by Keen Kellens, bail Bonds he's so enthusiastic about getting you out. He, before you're even in. Harry, let's review. You are 47 and 40. Still positive, somehow someway. My question is are you ready?
Speaker 1:I'm ready.
Speaker 2:Oh man, I really hope our new listeners join this. They enjoy this section Because Harry in this state. I am ready. It is officially illegal to play Domino's on Sunday. Your options are Nebraska, Alabama, Delaware.
Speaker 1:See, I instantly want to take out Nebraska and Alabama because of the heavier influence of church. No, I should agree with those. Actually Crap Delaware's random, but it's close to home. So are you playing a mental game here? And then a part of me feels like they're playing dominoes for money, like we're not gambling, we're playing dominoes, and like, oh, you want to be smart? Well now, dominoes is illegal and who's petty like that? I am going to say Alabama, lancer, it is officially illegal.
Speaker 2:And who's petty like that? I am going to say Alabama. It is officially illegal Play dominoes on Sunday in the state when they rule, rooted in religious and cultural traditions of Alabama.
Speaker 1:I have no right to no right 48 and 40.
Speaker 2:Now, are you ready for this one? Because I don't think you're ready for this one. This is what I got to try and get out without even saying anything. Okay, it is against the law for a wedding ceremony be performed at a skating rink. Your options are wisconsin, virginia, oregon. Well, virginia is for lovers, wisconsin and oregon and usually I try and throw a stump to chump one in there, but this one is not. I just saw this. I thought it was hilarious.
Speaker 1:It's funny. It's almost like it's a funny state law that still exists today. Dude, I just this is okay. Here's what I'm struggling with. Here's where I'm at. Again, virginia is for lovers, so I can't see them being so gung-ho about this Wisconsin. I mean, that's's tough. Who cares where you get my biggest thing is like who cares where you get married? I'm gonna say oregon.
Speaker 2:Final answer good answer, harry. Good answer because it is against the law for a wedding ceremony to be formed at a skating rink in the state of oregon. Do you want to know? Stop it.
Speaker 1:do you want to know why I thought Oregon Swear? Do you know why I thought Oregon?
Speaker 2:Yes, I want to know. I thought Oregon.
Speaker 1:This was my thought process. Oh, I don't even want to say it, it's embarrassing. I don't want to say it out loud. My thought process was that Oregon is known for forestry, right, so how dare you get married on this great lumber? Isn't that sacrilegious? Like these trees gave up their lives for fun and enjoyment, not a wedding. Okay, I can see that. I can see that. I don't know why. It made sense in my head it made sense and I was like you know what, let's go oregon on this one baby.
Speaker 2:I'm not even mad 49 and 40 dude um, I am very impressed with myself right now I know we've hit every state and, uh, we almost hit every state at least twice, but I'm not keeping track of how many times we're in each state.
Speaker 1:Right, no it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2:No, my goal is hit. Every state once.
Speaker 1:Let's go from there 4940.
Speaker 2:That's so positive, that's so great. Harry, you know what's not positive and what's not so great. Dum, dum, dum. Let's move into our Eels of the Week, because I got a big one. I probably had some more over the weekend, like the belt on my riding mower going out when I was trying to cut grass. Yeah, weird animals. I saw Terrible drivers.
Speaker 2:This one goes out to Igloo Playmate Coolers. Now, harry, our video is not up yet, but I just pulled mine up to my desk. Like our listeners can see, this is your standard Playmate cooler. What you see guys bring to construction sites. Right, this is a blue collar lunch pail. It's the red base with the white top. We got to press the button on the side. What are these guys packing in for lunch anyway in these things? I forget had this, but my, my eel goes out to them because you can't fit six drinks in here. If I want to put six cold ones, I cannot fit six cans inside of this. I was like, oh, the other day I was like, oh, maybe I'm only limited to four because you know I like to pre koozie my drinks. It's life hack. Pre koo, pre-koozie your drink, it's fine. No, I can only fit four in this cooler.
Speaker 1:That's so weird. Why is the?
Speaker 2:standard size, not six. Did you try moving them around? Oh, I tried shuffling. I tried the Kansas City shuffle. Every day I'm shuffling. I tried it all, nothing.
Speaker 1:You would think you should be able to drop six and go.
Speaker 2:That should be the standard cooler size. Yes, drop six and go. Like, oh, maybe what's the smallest one? You got six like do you have any that? Hold four? Who won what? Who wants four? Actually that's gonna be. The next bracket is uh, what is the perfect amount of cans you can drink in one sitting? Or maybe it was supposed on tiktok, be fun. The answer answer is six, six. I don't know why that bothered me.
Speaker 1:It's been bothering me for like a week. I have something that bothered me over the weekend. Like I said, our friends had a baby. My fifth time saying it, by the way. Our friends had a baby.
Speaker 2:Oh, wow, Once again six.
Speaker 1:See how easy that is. So I'm driving there and Ange and I are driving separate, in case we need two vehicles. Yada, yada, yada. And this, like I've said before, I live amongst the Amish and someone was cutting their little hill there on their property. So I moved over, I gave him some room. I was very polite. It was a young woman with a weed whacker. If you were a dude I'll get a little close to you, but with it being a girl, I politely moved out of her way some. I did not go fully into the opposite lane or anything, I just gave her her space. Right Makes sense. So then I get back in my lane at some old man in a gray Tacoma gives me the double bird for coming into his lane. The double bird, the double.
Speaker 1:The double he had a thing like there's no hands on the steering wheel yeah, well, he was like he like locked it in with his wrist and I was like that was very aggressive for being worried about someone's life. Yeah, I was like buddy. What is the matter with you?
Speaker 2:it is. Uh, I'm not gonna lie to you. It's not the end of the world.
Speaker 1:No, it was just very it was too aggressive for the situation I mean getting a double bird, I think is the greatest love of all. Maybe that was it, maybe he, maybe he was in love with me. All he's, he's see now just thinking about you. But that's enough eels, let's's put them away. Is it a potato? Is it a root vegetable? Or is it a hand grenade? I don't know. It is time to explain it all in PWN Paul's Weird News. Here is your host.
Speaker 2:Paul. Hey, harry, thanks for that. Shout out here on the streets. Boy, do we got some doozies for you here, harry? Let's hop on an airplane, me and you. We'll meet up somewhere in the middle and let's go to Old Sweden, as they like to say, from there, or as I call it, geneva Sweden.
Speaker 2:Now you heard, when pigs fly, this will happen, or when this flies, that'll happen. How about when cows fly, harry? You ever seen a cow fly? I have not. No, I've seen an elephant fly. I'm not seeing a cow fly in person.
Speaker 2:That is until recently, when swiss authorities added livestock to our list of vacuees, along with 300 people who moved out of a village threatened by a possible landslide. Once again, there's stevie nicks from an alpine mountainside overhead. So basically, the swedish government was like hey, this small village down here, a couple hundred people, uh, massive landslides coming your way due to Mother Nature this is why she does not get a deal of the week and I got to save them. Well, it's a farm community kind of like where you're at, and then I, uh, you have to save my income as well. So a helicopter hooked up a harness to these bovines and evacuated them. So you know people watching overhead and there's pictures and videos of it and it's just these cows. Zero emotion. But I wish they had emotion going. Hey, man, they put this harness around the cow and he lays there like alright, or she lays there and picks her up and takes her out to safety. I think it is the most hilarious thing I've ever seen. What do you think that cow's thinking? Take good care of my heart, take good care of me. Hi, like, don't hurt me. And Harry, let's get back on an airplane, let's go all the way this time over to a tiny large country called China. You like potato chips, right? I do, in fact? Yeah, that's a hypothetical question. We all love potato chips. As I adjust my tie here Now, there's a potato chip factory in China that sits there and it takes the potatoes, cleans them, chops them up all finely and deep fries them and bags them and getting their potato chips.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to say which name of the company because they're still protected, but their automated machine in Hong Kong was able to process one particular spud as it came through and like, oh, it's got mud on it, let's clean it off. And the machines you know. I'll tell you what it is Now as the machine does it. They have overseers that obviously they're looking at making sure the machine, everybody's doing their thing right, because you can't trust robots. Yet somehow some way one of the employees picks up this would be potato and they look at it and like, excuse me, boss, this is a world war one era grenade, like so somehow somebody in world war one, over 100 years ago now, lost a grenade in this chinese field and then it just got sewn into the dirt as they're telling. How nobody hit it with their tiller is beyond me. In 100 years, you're telling me, not one person hit this thing at all.
Speaker 2:Because this is why I thought about harry is they had to call their version of eod explosive ordnance disposal out.
Speaker 2:I mean, these grenades are built for Germany's efforts, right, and what everybody refers to as the Great War is this modern era World War I and the Hong Kong police quickly deemed this device is an unstable condition, like they looked at it and go very unstable, and they tried something new called a high-pressure water-firing technique to safely explode the grenade inside of a sewer grate in an empty alley, like how cool is that? They're like um, this is a grenade. Hey, do you want to try this new high pressure water firing technique Absolutely. This is a perfect time. Let's go find an abandoned alley in a sewer drain and blow this thing up. And even in the sewer drain, harry, I saw videos and images. It was like a mountain of mud came over these dudes' heads. So it was a legit active grenade, just in somebody's field that they picked up and it was put in with potatoes. What happens if that potato slicer decides to hit that grenade at just the right time?
Speaker 1:It'd Cook a lot of potatoes really fast.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you have a lot of potato nuggets. You know a little tiny piece of potato. But now, harry, hopefully your back's ready. Let's get back on that airplane and this time let's go to the greatest city in the world. More specifically, let's go to the first zoo in the United States of America the greatest zoo in the United States of America, arguably, I don't know the Philadelphia Zoo, home of the Philadelphia Eagles, galapagos tortoise. Galapagos tortoise recently gave birth to four babies. Congratulations. We're all about good news. We're all about happy, healthy babies. Four babies were born and the zoo said we need names. First time reading this article, harry, I almost skipped over it. You got four turtles. They need names. What do you think they are? Ready Boom, leo, mikey, raph, donatello, easy enough. Instead, the zoo went a little wild here. They went a little bit out of left field, over the fence, around the corner, down two blocks, went and picked up a cheesecake and some coffee and some wine and I said we got one for you. How about we name our four tortoises after the golden girls?
Speaker 2:so darthi, rose, blanche and sofia are the names of new tortoises at the philadelphia zoo I love it so I don't know what's more impressive is the amazing name selection, right, right, they had fan votes and fan submissions. This is one of them. Or the fact that the parents are 96 and 97 years old Dang, the parents are older than what our grandparents would be. Yes, like dang. Oh man, that's pretty old. Did they even see a plane fly?
Speaker 1:Were they around before planes?
Speaker 2:No, planes started flying in 1905. Kitty Hawk took off.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, okay. Yeah the Bright Brothers. I used all my brain power on the state law thing, sorry.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, that was like 120 years ago, but it's fine. You're like Elle from Strange Things. You need to recoup, eat some chocolate pudding, it'll be fine. But that's it for me. Out here on the streets, back to you in Studio T I love episodes like this, where it's flawless, not much editing.
Speaker 1:I can tell you that that makes me happy.
Speaker 2:That's great. It's a great time we gotta do a live episode. One time Everybody just tune in and hear us fumble in our words so much.
Speaker 1:So we're 86 episodes in. We kind of got our thing down. What is something you wish people knew about the show? Let's pack up Something that they don't even think about, because I got something.
Speaker 2:Man, I don't know.
Speaker 1:My thing is, people will come up to me my friends and people that listen to the show and they'll be like I like what you said on that episode and I'll be like, oh cool, yeah, no idea what you're talking about most of the time yeah, we have outline, not a script.
Speaker 2:You never know what's going to come out of our mouths, like we are just so it's kind of like what's that movie? David Spade, the Llama movie, disney movie, cusco.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, disney movie Cusco. Yeah, cusco, poison for Cusco Emperor's New Groove.
Speaker 2:Thank you, hey, man, between the two of us we got enough power here. I was reading something recently. They were like Disney execs were like hey, your script never got sent over to us, Put it in the archives. They're like what script? You know your script for the movie and they're like we didn't have a script. I didn't know that, we just went with it and I'm like that's Harry and I, we have an outline. Yeah Right, it's kind of like Josh Groban, whoever voices Olaf? Yes, it's not.
Speaker 1:Whatever his name is, did you say Josh Groban, the amazing singer guy, josh Brolin? No, no, no, no, that's Cable from Deadpool. Anyway, first name Josh. Come on, dude, you're so there. One syllable Josh Gad.
Speaker 2:Gad. What I think was Gad, and I did not go there because I was like that can't be right.
Speaker 1:Josh Gad sounds fake, no it does Well, it probably is a fake name.
Speaker 2:But yeah, we don't script anything. There's been episodes where there's a lot of yeah, of course, because my old quote studio used to be a spare room in my house, that the Wi-Fi is not so great, and then Harry would catch a lot of explicits.
Speaker 1:So I was so scared it was stressful for me back then.
Speaker 2:Yeah, now my new studio is in my sweet garage. Man, I can't wait till we get video up and running because everybody can see Dale Jr in the garage with me A random football helmet that I've yet to put away from, like three episodes ago.
Speaker 1:I like that you put something in the background just for us.
Speaker 2:It's just for us, because people aren't watching. Just wait till I might have something for 87. Okay, just for you, 88, I got 89, I definitely have 87. I gotta look, it's just fun. But also like the side conversations we have and it reminds me of you, said james garner, passing away and I was about to, like we this is the other thing I'm listening to let's do it's a tangents. We go on that. Don't make it on the show. Yes, because harry and I would get caught up of like.
Speaker 2:You're like, oh, james garner, oh, I loved him and my fellow americans. I'm like, yeah, don't tell me about jack lemon, jack lemon and walter matthew. Now I want to get into that rabbit hole of not just grumpy old men and grumpier old men, but the original odd couple that I watched a year ago or so, like sabrina was out of town and I just I was like, oh, jack lemon, uh, I was trying to watch my fellow americans what it was, but it was like oh, also recommended the original odd couple from like the 60s and I was like I don't think, all right, I've ever even seen that. I never seen it because it was a weird movie well, it wasn't weird for its time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it's the same guys that were in Grumpy Old Men also were terrible roommates with each other in New York in the 60s. Then they made a sequel in the 90s because I think Grumpy Old Men was a hit. I got to see.
Speaker 1:Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men. Yeah, I got to see grumpy old men and grumpy old men.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and once again, don't get me started, because that's going to leave me on another tangent that will get us three, four lanes down the road. And that's the one thing our listeners don't get to see or hear, Because if they did, our shows would be three hours long.
Speaker 1:Yeah, actually I'm really proud We've been around. Someone is like, hey, man, love the show, it's too long. We worked really hard to get about an hour and we we've been hitting that mark through and through yeah and also like you have inputs, or like what do you like, what don't you like?
Speaker 2:I don't. You're not going to hurt my feelings, unless it's something about my voice. If you say I have a face for radio, I'm not mad, but I love it. Like that's the thing our, our one, our listeners know is how much we enjoy this. Yeah I.
Speaker 1:I brought it before. I listened to a podcast religiously and I went back and listened to their old stuff episode late 100s. It's like 198 or whatever it was and man, these guys were having so much fun. And then you listen to a new one and it's just them talking about facts, not making jokes, not doing this or that, and I'm just like, damn, I never want to be this.
Speaker 2:No, and everybody always asks how will I know and where my show is at? Just be true to yourself. And also, we want honest feedback. Yeah.
Speaker 1:I've definitely gotten some pointers. We've trimmed nascar down a good bit. No, we have a lot about nascar we could have our own nascar show really we could but someone said, hey, a little less nascar. And I'm in and guess what we did? We get it. We're gonna, we're always gonna advocate for it and and we're always gonna show our support for it. But at the same time, I think we realize that it's not everyone's cup of tea.
Speaker 2:No, and it's fine.
Speaker 1:And it's fine, I just love doing this thing, man. You know what else I?
Speaker 2:love.
Speaker 1:Harry, what's that?
Speaker 2:I love when you tell them this week what the number one album from 1986 was the number one album from 1986.
