#88 - OH SO GREAT
Ever wondered what powers you might get from a radioactive wasp sting? Or which barbecue side dish truly deserves championship status? Buckle up for a wild ride through number 88 nostalgia, bizarre news stories, and heated food debates!
Harry and Paul Troutman return with their signature family-friendly humor that promises big laughs without anything you'd need to explain to the kids. From celebrating international listeners in Singapore to debating the merits of egg salad sandwiches, their conversational style makes you feel like you're hanging out with old friends.
This episode dives deep into athletes who've worn number 88, with special attention to Philadelphia Eagles connections. The hosts uncover a surprising link between Trey Burton and Nick Foles—both key players in the famous "Philly Special" Super Bowl play—that ties perfectly to the episode's numerical theme. NASCAR fans will appreciate the nostalgic discussion of iconic 88 paint schemes, particularly Dale Jarrett's classic UPS "What Can Brown Do For You?" car and Darrell Waltrip's green and white Gatorade design.
The competition heats up in their barbecue side dish bracket, where baked beans defeated bacon mac and cheese, pasta salad crushed chips and salsa, corn on the cob dominated loaded baked potatoes, and deviled eggs narrowly beat potato salad. These Final Four contenders will face off in upcoming polls—who will be crowned the ultimate BBQ companion?
Paul's Weird News segment delivers three jaw-dropping stories: a woman with a functional Red Bull barcode tattoo that works at self-checkout scanners, a man who got stuck in a chimney trying to retrieve his dog from a locked bathroom, and perhaps most alarmingly, radioactive wasp nests discovered at a former nuclear weapons facility in South Carolina.
Whether you're a sports enthusiast, food lover, or simply enjoy clean comedy and strange news, The Trout Stream delivers a refreshingly positive listening experience. Tell your friends about your new favorite podcast—as the hosts say, word of mouth from listeners like you is the best way to help the show grow!

Of course we hand out our coveted Golden Trout Awards for the good and heartwarming and let some deserving folks know they are disgusting slimy eels of the week.

Paul, listeners, lovers, lovers, friends, welcome to 88. Welcome to the Trout Street, welcome to the same speed it takes to go back in time in a DeLorean 88. 88 miles an hour.
Speaker 1:Harry, how are you feeling? I'm feeling alive now. I'm feeling great. I'm feeling loose. I'm the one who got the technical feeling. Great, I'm feeling loose. I'm the one who got the technical upgrades recently. Thanks to a little behind the scenes action with Harry and Sabrina, I have a fully functioning laptop now, which therefore means spoiler alert. Maybe we'll have some videos, maybe. Maybe we should buddy. We won't be delayed five seconds between talking, but it's good to be back into a studio. It's going to be back on the computer with you, because I don't really have a dedicated studio. I bounce around to whichever room is empty. You are. Yeah, we're both working on our permanent studios, which is actually funny because it looks like you're finding your place, place in your house and I'm losing my end.
Speaker 1:Yeah, before we get started, huge shout out to a couple previous listeners. Here we got grand rivers, kentucky, augusta, west virginia oh, not to be confused with augusta, georgia, huge fan. That's why I added the west virginia part there. And then my favorite, uh, just singapore. We made it. You. You know what? No, there's no breakdown on our stats here. It just says Singapore. So thank you to the entire country of Singapore. Right, yeah, Because the amount of stuff that we order internationally, it lays over in Singapore and they're probably like who are these guys? Let's give them a shout out, give them a listen, and I am excited.
Speaker 1:Well, the singaporean people are big fish people. The fish culture is a big way of life over there, so it only makes sense that they're listening to the trout stream. Hopefully they read the description and don't think that it's a fishing show, because I'll teach you how to fish. Yeah, you'll go hungry real quick. Yeah, what's that? Teach your man to fish? Or give a man a. You feed him for a day, but teach him. Nah, man, you're going to have to go buy it. If I teach you how to fish, just go buy it. Just go buy it.
Speaker 1:Buddy, how was your weekend? Weekend was good, quick, fast, in a hurry, anything fun and exciting. No, I think it was just another normal weekend here. I'm Trying to think back a few days here. I watched a new movie called Happy Gilmore 2. And then I did a salt float for an hour. Oh, yeah, yeah, you were talking about that last week. How was the salt float? Weird, you didn't even tell me about this in our normal, everyday conversations. I'm actually a little pissed off. I had to find out this way. But please tell me how your salt was.
Speaker 1:Your Highness, it was so weird. Like you know, in this place you gotta take a quick shower and you lay down and you're like, all right, here's some music. You turn the lights on and off and like the main light is a motion sensor, so like you lay there long enough lights go out, but if you want to get out of this big tub, the tub is like huge like size of I mean, not everybody can see, but size of this spare room we got. Oh wow, yeah, he's laying it and I'm like it's not deep. You ever seen Stranger Things? Yes, season one, when L has to float the minority report, the little pools that they're in. Never seen it. You've never seen my favorite movie of all time? No, I've been trying to find it, this dream, for the longest time. Continue, yes, but yeah, I mean pretty cool. I mean it didn't feel like an hour, it went by quick. We were just in a dark room floating around. It relieved a lot of pain in my back and my joints, but how was the restless? Yeah, I was thinking about like, oh wow, hopefully my knee and my back don't hurt anymore. List, yeah, I was thinking about like, oh wow, hopefully my knee, my back, don't hurt anymore and they didn't for a while. It was great. Oh, wow, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 1:Tell me about your weekend. Uh, I've always wanted to do a floaty. Yeah, okay, like it'd be great for me be more mental. Yeah, like no distractions for an hour. Yeah, we're different. I was like, nope, I need something, let's go. No, I'd be on a great journey, buddy, I'd be lost. That's why I go to them. I go to the movies by myself, just so I can escape. Oh, I don't mind going to movies, like doing stuff like that, I don't mind at all. But I, for me, the reason I enjoy it so much, yeah, is the mental escape of it. It's not so much. You know, you're forced to sit there for two hours to watch a movie. Yeah, it's impolite to look at your phone. You're right, I get it. So that's why I like it.
Speaker 1:Our weekend we had the in-laws in town. Oh, yeah, they came out Friday. Loved seeing them. We played a very funny card game, more family-friendly show, I can't even talk about it on the air, but we all had a big bunch of belly laughs. It was a great time.
Speaker 1:We scoomed to the camper. I cooked up some burgers and dogs. I ate lunch there and then we came back no idea what we watched. I'm going to be honest, might have went to bed early, I don't remember much. And then Ange and I just hung out. We got some exciting news. I'm not ready to quite share yet on here, but it's coming, it's coming. And when I, when I say what's happening, everyone's gonna be like oh okay, now it makes sense. So but yeah, no, it was, it was good. And then tonight I went got new contacts, which is exciting, so now I can wear proper sunnies. And we went to chili's. So I mean, who mean, who's really winning that life right now? You went to Chili's, you win. I know I beat you at Iowa last weekend. I go first. I have two.
Speaker 1:How many times have you watched? It's the end of the second quarter, super Bowl 52. Nick Foles goes into motion Direct snap. Corey Clement pitches to Trey Burton, who then passes it to Nick Foles. Here's the question what number is Trey Burton wearing? Wild stab here. I'm going to guess 88. 88. Yeah, because we are working on said episode.
Speaker 1:I cannot put Trey Burton in the 88 at all. I can put Trey Burton in an Eagles uniform. I can put Trey Burton on the sideline. I can put him on the field. I cannot put Trey Burton in 88, and I don't know why. It's weird. Yeah, like to think hard about it. Yeah, how many times have you on purpose and just been fed that play? And not once do I see Trey Burton 88. Up until the Eagles beat, dismantled the Chiefs in Super Bowl 59. Yeah, you've seen it all the time because it was the greatest play in Philly history. Yeah, and that's the reason why I'm picking him, because I never associate with him Another 88, I say it all the time.
Speaker 1:But one of the first guys I noticed outside the Eagles organization, marvin Harrison, peyton Manning's number one, there for a hot minute, yep, wearing the Colts blue. He seemed like a super nice guy. I mean, yeah, he's from Ph, philly, so of course he's a nice guy. That's why we got along so well. That's why I liked him. It makes sense. I didn't know he was from philly. Yeah, he's a philly guy. Like throwing through, wow, yeah, either he got shot or he shot a guy allegedly all alleged, alleged several years ago. Yeah, in ph, in Philly. Yeah, yeah, good for him. Yeah, if he's all right. No, he's good now. Yeah, if he's good now, good for him. Yeah, he's got that blood in him. You know what I mean. Got the dog in him, that's it. That's all I got. Buddy, all right.
Speaker 1:88 is a tough number for me because there there's some aches. I'm going to rip the bandaid off right now, right here. These next three 88s are not my favorite. I don't like them. But you're not going to not mention Michael Irving, des Bryant, ceedee Lamb. Yep, you think of 88, just go 88. Nfl I automatically go to Dallas Cowboys. Every team has a number right? Yes, but it's a Cowboys tradition. Your number one receiver wears 88. That's why CeeDee Lamb was given 88, because he's Dax number one. Dez was Romo's number one, obviously. When TO was there, to got to pick his own number because he's TO, of course. So it was more of a respect. I wanted CeeD Lamb on the Eagles when he was in the draft for the simple fact that he played with Jalen at Oklahoma and they had a chemistry. But now, whatever man, you're a cowboy.
Speaker 1:Speaking of Dallas, one of the greatest draft day trades of all time, I don't know what year it was probably 2018, 2019 timeframe, the year Jason Witten, a formerly retired from the NFL. Dallas Cowboys needed a solid tight end. They needed somebody good. Second round Philadelphia Eagles decided to trade up one spot in front of Dallas Cowboys to pick a guy who was literally named for the Dallas Cowboys because his parents were huge Cowboys fans. Number 88, philadelphia Eagles, dallas Goddard.
Speaker 1:Let's go, I wanted to give you Dallas Goddard, but I think that's one of the reasons why Trey Burton at 88 gets so easily forgotten, because it was like bam, then it was Dallas Goddard in the 88. Yeah, trey Burton left the year after the Super Bowl, like at the end of that season or the end of the next season, and so what Chicago? At the end of that season or the end of the next season, and so what Chicago? He went to Chi-Town for a little bit, if I believe right I'm not doing as much research as everybody thinks I do, a lot of this is in my brain. But yeah, then Dallas Goddard came in. So it was like oh, let me forget about Trey Burton. Love Trey Burton, he's not Dallas Goddard's Eckers.
Speaker 1:But speaking about that, it's got a tight end position. You are not going to not mention the greatest tight end to ever play the game. Unfortunately, play for the Kansas City Chiefs for a long time. Then he was like I need a ring. I'll never get one in Kansas City. The irony of all that goes to Atlanta Never wins a ring. Still Hall of Fame worthy Still the greatest tight end to ever play the game. Still Hall of Fame worthy still the greatest tight end to ever play the game Tony Gonzalez. I think what he does is going to be untouched For a long time. Yeah, for a very, very, very, very long time.
Speaker 1:And for my last one, harry, this is tough right, because there's a lot of players in the NHL that were double eight, but this one here, what could have been, what should have been the big. In my opinion, one of the biggest what-ifs in Philadelphia Flyers history Is in 1992, flyers traded away Peter Forsberg, mike Rickey, chris Simon, kerry Huffman, steve Duchesne, ron Hextall, two first-round picks and $15 million to get the rights from the Nordics, who aren't even a team anymore for Eric Lindros. I'm a Lindros fan. They sold the house, they sold everything to get this guy because he was, on paper, the next great one. Everybody said he was the one that was going to bring Gretzky down, before Ovechkin, before Sid the Kid, before Malkin, before anybody 92, eric Lindros was the man. And if you want to stick with hockey and talk about the man, another guy right. We say our favorite eight numbers.
Speaker 1:I don't like this guy. I would lose in a street fight to him. I don't like him, but Patrick Kane has to a street fight to him. I don't like him, but Patrick Kane has to be on the list of respected guys. Oh yeah, without question, he probably still hasn't found a puck from the 2010 Stanley Cup Game 6 overtime winner. That puck is still missing. What happened to it? Nobody knows. Somebody took it and they don't know. Chris Pronger defensive man I'm going to get real quick Defenseman for the Flyers at the time was known for scooping up very important pucks and just taking them Key pucks. The FBI was involved. The FBI investigated Chris Pronger. He's like I don't have it. I've got a lot of other pucks. Don't have that one. They don't know where it went.
Speaker 1:Very interesting 12 players have worn the 88 in nba history. It's a lot more than we've been seeing here lately. Yeah, it is a lot more. I'm down. I'm down the clown with that one. What do you got for mlb? Mlb I've only got 21, and the first one was in 2005. So 21's a lot.
Speaker 1:In my opinion, 88's a great number. I think it's probably one of the best numbers. So to me it's random that it's not used that way. Right, somebody would. I would believe it'd be used a lot more Because it's so smooth. There's not many double numbers that are smooth as 88. No, there isn't. There's maybe one more, but we'll get there in 11 episodes.
Speaker 1:Draft picks I've got one. I've only need one. And we're going back to your 2012 in the NFL, because you mentioned Trey Burton. I see your Trey Burton. And now I'm going to talk about the only quarterback to have receiving touchdown in Superbowl history. Nick Foles is number 88 overall draft pick by the Eagles in 2012. Superbowl MVP Nick Foles, mvp, nick Foles. And like, once again, this is the joy of our show and we talk about this a lot of. I had no idea Nick Foles was number 88 draft pick. So two thirds of the Philly special in this episode. That's unbelievable. Yeah, love it. I love it when a when again, we say it all the time. I love when that stuff comes together on the show. So perfect, I'm gonna, I'm gonna flip-flop real quick.
Speaker 1:We got the number 88 highest Billboard top 100 song happy by Pharrell Williams. The 88 highest grossing movie currently is guardians of the galaxy, volume 2 such a great one. And the number one album from 1988 faith by george michaels. You know what I think? That song is, uh, one of my, it's in my top 20 of most quoted songs. Right, it's uh, I don't know which version I like better, but that version, right, there is like you know what, what you need you just got to have, and then sabrina just rolls her eyes before I can finish. Faith, the faith, the faith. It's like when that song comes on, the curtains go up. Yes, and it's game time and the curtains are still going up on these 88 year old celebrities.
Speaker 1:We have george taki, georgie garrett morris, which I I thought he passed, but apparently he's still with us. He's a comedian, great guy, funny guy. We have judge frank capiro. He's the really nice old judge up in rhode island. Yeah, I know who he is. Yeah, uh, where do I know? Hector elizondo elizondo, from elizondo. Hector elizondo elizondo, dude, say that word. E-l-i-z-o-n-d-o elizondo elizondo. We have hector elondo. Was he in the Princess Diaries? He was in the Princess Diaries. He was also in Bear with the Hills, cop 3, thank you. He replaced Taggart, he did.
Speaker 1:We got Robert Redford, billy Dee Williams, jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. First off, jack and Morgan are the same age, same age man. That's probably why they did that movie Bucket List together. Probably that actually makes a lot more sense now it makes. Are you ready for the sad list? Sure, bring it to me. We have Regis Philman. I forgot Regis had passed away. Yes, this is now the Passed away list. Rip Torn Golly here's a good one. Milton S Hershey, wait Square Dance Milton Hershey. Milton Hershey, chris Christopherson oh, that was recent. We got Harry S Truman, michelangelo, adam West, donald Sutherland, bill Russell, charlie Chapman and Pope Francis.
Speaker 1:Now there is someone I left out that is still alive today and still going at 88, which is going to tie in perfectly to our next segment. We're going to spend a little time on NASCAR, the one, the only. The king, richard Petty is 88. The king's 88? The king is 88. Dude, that dude's all about business and he's laying it down. He is. So we are going to talk a little heavier on NASCAR. It's a quick, short race. I beat you, but that's not what I want to talk about just yet. I want to talk about NASCAR 88.
Speaker 1:When I say 88, nascar, who do you think of first? That is the easiest question you can ask me Dale Jarrett, okay, good, I was hoping, man, I was hoping. Now, what car do you think of? I think of, because we could have two very different answers here and they could both be correct. This one drips with style and class, but yet the most simplistic one of all time UPS, the brown. What can brown do for you? What can brown do for you? The white and brown yeah, it's either that or he had that blue quality, the quality care, the quality care, 88.
Speaker 1:I was not a Dale Jarrett fan because, as weird as it is, he didn't drive a Chevy. Right, that's how we were growing up. Dale Earnhardt drove a Chevy, dale Jr drove a Chevy. You had the blinders on. Dale Jarrett with that weird mustache what a wannabe. Turns out he's an awesome dude.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I wish we could go back in time. Like what would you do differently? Watch races open-minded, not one driver? Yes, I would love to go back in time and appreciate the sport. Yes, 100.
Speaker 1:But talking about going back in time, I really like 70s, more east nascar, when the drivers could be drivers and the crew chief was like how can I cheat? Yes, but then seeing the paint schemes and as simple as they were, they were some of the greatest paint schemes ever. And I don't know what it is about green and white together, white base, green numbers and letters. But seeing Daryl Waltrip's 88, whether it was Gatorade, he was Gatorade in 88, the 11, another double number, he was Mountain Dew, but that green and white Gatorade car, as you would say, is chef kiss, harry, chef kiss. I love it so much. Oh, wow, that is a beautiful car, dude. Yes, that is actually incredible too. I don't think I knew this car existed and, holy smokes, did it just become one of my favorite all-time nascar.
Speaker 1:The 88 schemes 88, I'm telling you. Dw has some of the best and his 11 I know it's not an episode 11, but his 11 mountain dew car, like transformed into the 88. Oh my gosh, beautiful. And that's probably my top five favorite paint schemes of all time. Coincidentally, two of my top five, two in my top 10, whatever are 88, who's your other? My favorite one is a 2014 downhard junior dayton 500 win. That red, white and blue National Guard car with the gold copper, gold lettering. Love it. Okay, that's a great one.
Speaker 1:I doubt there will be a paint scheme that will change my mind. And it's not because Junior, it's not just because he won Daytona 500. But it was a culmination of that and it's just one of the most beautiful cars in the world. I like it yeah. Yeah, I, I'm not gonna argue against your opinion. But yeah, no, I have to agree with you. I will argue that statement till I collapse. Yeah, I, I honestly I can't fight. Fault you on that at all.
Speaker 1:Now we have svg in the 88. That's who I picked this week for watkins. Glenn, who are you going with? Buddy sing, for the moment 88. Svg, who has three career wins in the 88 already, all road courses.
Speaker 1:You put me in a pickle here. I've only got a few picks left. I'm gonna go easy. I'm gonna go smooth and sexy. I'm gonna go with the soldier, john hunter, nemo, no, I don't hate that pick either. I don't hate that pick.
Speaker 1:So, points-wise, where do we stand? And I know you get 10 bonus at the end of the season. All right, here we go, after you winning three weeks in a row now, three strong weeks in a row, harry, you sit at 562 points. Okay, and here I am pulling up the rear because there's only two of us. So one has to be the lead-up, one has to pick up the rear at 525. So I'm basically like 37 points behind you. Now At my bonus points, I'm 27 points behind you. We got a race, dude, we do. We have a great race. It's going to be tight by the end. It's not going to be just like a chef's kiss. It's going to be like the kiss, like who is going to get it at the end. We got playoffs, playoffs, yeah.
Speaker 1:On our TikTok I've been adding in there like okay, who's picking, let's go. And one of our followers, somebody we follow back, wade. He commented I'm going to go with Ryan Blaney two weeks in a row. And I was like that's illegal. You cannot do that Illegal. You cannot pick Ryan Blaney until the playoffs start, when everything resets. And all of a sudden he's like ah, I get what you're saying. I understand what you guys are doing now.
Speaker 1:So I'm thinking next season we're going to go with your idea for, like, you and I maybe yeah, or we can loop some other folks in on it and being like let's go, let's go, yeah, who's a case of beer? I'm in. I'm in at least two, two, three other people. I might just lose intentionally so I can buy a case of beer for myself. But, like I do it, do it anyway. Do it anyway. Yeah, I mean, I'll be cleaning out my closet in the back. Let me just find a case of beer back there. I hope you don't find beer in your closet. That's like Kenny Chesney. Yeah, it's probably skunk. Yeah, probably bad, probably bad. You know what's not skunk?
Speaker 1:It was the Golden Childs of the Week, buddy, I got one, and actually it happened today and I had one written down. But, uh, I really wanted to go with this. So I have two eye insurances okay, my own, and then angela, my wife. This lady actually sat there and figured out all the paperwork and everything to use the most out of both insurances and I was like, dang, you don't have to do all this. Yeah, that's great, but I really really appreciate you. So, d here here's to you. Thank you, golden trout award. And then I have a second one and uh, buddy, this one this one is is actually bad.
Speaker 1:We have a loyal listener, andrew. Bad. We have a loyal listener, andrew. He asked me to hand out a golden trout in May, buddy. And now this dude is a loyal listener, right, one of our biggest fans. He asked me in May he goes hey, I need you to shout this person out for me and I said, yeah, absolutely, I totally forgot. Yeah, it happens. So I already got you down for eel of the week, so don't worry. So I'll give myself a meal, but let's get to. But let's get to andrew's golden trout. He wants to give one out to jim neary.
Speaker 1:He owns jim's live bait and tackle at the octarera boat landing which has us all over it, by the way. 100%. He held an event for veterans over the weekend and has several others during the summer. This event veterans could go out fishing, being given rides and equipment, plus volunteers showed up with their boats to take the vets out onto the reservoir. The dude is amazing. Yeah, that sounds legit. He is a good dude. Andrew lost his wife, judy, not too long ago and Jim was really there to help him through that and he appreciates it. And, yeah, go check out Jim's bait on the OctoRare Reservoir. You ever fish there the OctoRare Reservoir? No, not recently of water. You ever fish there the october? Not, not recently.
Speaker 1:I went there one time with a couple of friends and I just hit this school of sunnies and for 45 minutes straight. I my worm would hit the water and I'd already had to reel in, and I just spent 45 minutes catching sunnies and it was like the greatest time of my life. I didn't care, I wasn't annoyed. What, what kind of worms were you using, though? We're using the? Uh, I just spent 45 minutes catching sunnies and it was like the greatest time in my life. I didn't care, I wasn't annoyed. What kind of worms were you using? Were you using the slimy white American worms or were you using the blue gill worms? I was using the Canadian reds. Dude, I don't know what it is about sunnies, they will hit those Canadian reds all day. I didn't think about those. Yeah, okay, but Andrew, quick eel Me. I am so sorry. It was only four months late. Still, golden trout, sir, they're still going out to people. They're still going out. I'll make sure it gets put up there Now. If they got some koozies, let me know. I up there Now. If they got some koozies, let me know.
Speaker 1:I'm in the market to always buy some. What's the most you'll spend on a koozie? Five bucks, yeah, five bucks for a basic koozie Sidebar. I'm the neoprene fold flat kind of guy. I don't need the Yeti with the screw on cap and the 80s big puffy foam ones. They were cool, but I can't. I have a specific spot. I put them all in. I like the flat ones because I leave them in my cargo shorts Smart and I wash them and they stay in my cargo shorts. I have a few magnetized collapsible ones which are great, but yeah, about five bucks. My buddy, paul rosenberg we always laugh, we got the same name. He's wild. He'll spend way more but he's got to have the yeti ones and everything like that.
Speaker 1:The last koozie I bought was five dollars and it literally went up to the top of the can. Oh, yeah. So like your lip when you're drinking was on koozie now like a little little gap in there. Yeah, you see how yours got a gap. Imagine if that thing caved in and went up to the top. Nah, I'm out. Yeah, and I spent $5 on it.
Speaker 1:I got a pocket knife and I would have created a channel in there, cut that bad boy out, super smart. But then you got to line it up every time. I mean, yeah, I went to Olivia's school orientation night and I realized I had a pocket knife in my pocket the whole time. I guess it's not really a pocket knife when they're larger. So I had a knife on me. Yeah, that's just a knife, buddy. I feel like Crocodile Dundee out there. That's not a knife, that's a knife.
Speaker 1:I went with Ange to a doctor's appointment and I had to empty my pockets. She was there for insurance reasons and of course I had my knife on me and she just like picks her purse up, like I put it behind her purse to hide it, yeah. And then she just like picks her purse up and leaves and I'm like there's my knife and keys and everything that you're just showing the world now. Well, I was like like well, all right, cool, yeah, I've accidentally taken my knife into some places before going. Oh, dear god, please don't find it. Yeah, I have a golden trout, harry, and this one is going to be very broad. I'm going to paint with a good brush here. I want to say goodbye to holly times, yeah. But then you got like the new Superman coming out. He's a Philly guy, he's a huge Eagles fan. It's like I don't want to say goodbye, go birds.
Speaker 1:And then they come out with a cinematic classic Ooh, recently I have told you I've already seen it, top 10, greatest movie ever made. Happy Gilmore too. Okay, it's not top 10 greatest movie ever made. I don't want to spoil it because you haven't seen it yet. I am not that guy. Guys at work already started talking about it. Like it came out on Friday night, yeah, and my internet went out on Saturday. I didn't get my internet back until Thursday. So they've been waiting, yeah. So finally I got to wait a week Finally watch it. You're dipping and dodging, trying to avoid all the spoilers and the girl's, like my dad's, going crazy Cause I'm just like hiding everything, but my golden trout has to go out to the same man.
Speaker 1:Adam Sandler, happy Madison crew phenomenal artwork, phenomenal cinema. Not the plot, not storyline. Everything involved with it was A+. The cameos and I'm not trying to spoil anything for you. There are specific cameos that I've looked up later. Like who was that? Also, I don't like how they use cameos. They say the word cameo like there's a list of celebrities that are in this movie who have roles, and several took zero money. They were in it just to be in it. I didn't know that. Yes, I found this out later while doing research and I'll tell you at least three that I know. After you watch. I will not spoil it. Right right, appreciate that.
Speaker 1:I loved the movie. I would watch it again. I give it a 10 out of 10 because it hit the right amount of nostalgia, the perfect amount of hilarity and, like the girls had a sleepover, they weren't here, sabrina. I watched it and at one point I paused the movie. I was like I need to be quiet because I'm going to wake them up and she goes. They're not here. And then I had to pause it like 10 minutes later, because I was laughing so hard I could not hear the television. Oh man, it got to be that kind of laugh and I was like, oh man, I feel like a hyena from Lion King. I had to pause it, take a deep breath, hit, play, then pause immediately because I was still in the middle of the laugh scene. Dude, that's the best. Love it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. And anybody who says they didn't like it needs to get themselves checked into a hospital. At the end, when the music stops and the curtain close, you really need to evaluate yourself, because Adam Sandler is an amazing person Getting off my soapbox.
Speaker 1:Well, don't go too far. Okay, I'm right here. I haven't gone anywhere Because we need to talk about it. What was that? What are you talking about? We need to talk about the results to our pan boat. It bracket best barbecue side dishes. Are you ready for this? I'm ready. You seem like you're stressing over there, buddy. I am, because I know the results. You don't know the results. I don't know. That's the one, oh golly. That's one thing I do love. First off, I want to get that hat that you sent me. It says golly on it. Secondly, I love the fact that I am privy to the results. You are not. So this is a shock and awe. I know nothing. I don't even know the matchups. This week I Start recording with your Eagles Cowboys hat. You had on Eagles Cowboy hat. Yeah, careful there, buddy. A Western-style hat for cowboy on the ranch with Eagle stuff on it. Loved it.
Speaker 1:Speaking of loving it, a certain bottom right region Chicken Good base, good start, good start, right, good chicken. Gotta get that good protein in you. Speaking of that, steve Berman, back, back, back, back back. Is that Steve Berman? That's some Berman, that's uh, no, it's not Steve Berman. Yeah, my bad, but I know who you're talking about. Mark Bill John Terry. I see his face. Yeah, chris, chris Berman, oh, chris Berman, chris Berman, yeah, no, steve, steve had this chicken marinade that I've been trying to replicate for the longest time. Anywho, bottom right region, protein chicken, we have bacon, mac and cheese going head to head with baked beans. This is tough, harry. 70 to 30.
Speaker 1:Man, I want to say beans are moving on. Do you want to say that, or are you saying that Because I'm confused? I want to say beans are moving on. Do you want to say that, or are you saying that because I want to say bean like I? I believe it's beans, beans are moving on. Beans like even steven's beans. Yes, 70 percent of the votes. Baked beans is moving on. When? How often do you have baked beans? Not at the barbecue all the time? Ribs and baked beans should be a staple because, trust me, they are. I'm just saying I have more baked beans in the summertime than I do in the winter. By the way, gabby's mom has now told everybody that I have praised her beans. We had another get together from recording to now our 87 right in between there and her mom's like hey, paul, I'm sorry I didn't bring my beans today. She knows, and she didn't even listen to 87 yet.
Speaker 1:Speaking about 87, let's stay on the right hand side. Go to the top. Hot dog, right, cause I got. I got that chicken breast in my mouth. Boom, it's good. Sometimes I see a hot dog, right, hot dog is a good filler. Hot dog is a good in between her.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. Yeah, we got chips and salsa going against pasta salad. Okay, I know, move on. Well, harry, let's call this one a hailey song, because this was untouchable. 92 to 8 yeah, it's good. Chip pasta salad is moving on salad, okay, yeah. Yeah, chips and salsas should have never been here in the first place. It shouldn't have beat macaroni salad last week. No, I feel like I'm back in the favorite sequel movie and like godfather 2 gets knocked out early. Macaroni salad getting knocked out early. That's fair. Come on, man. Yeah, I'll agree with your emotions on this one. So, if my calculations are correct, next time we see pasta salad and baked beans, they'll be on head to head. That's this weekend, folks. Pasta salad and baked beans in the final four.
Speaker 1:But let's go to the left side, burger side. We had chicken, we had a hot dog. Let's get a burger in us, right. Where do you want cheese? Where do you want a Juicy Lucy. Where do you want a regular one?
Speaker 1:Corn on a cob versus loaded baked potato. Both are delicious in their own right. One feels more barbecue than the other Right, both are American, as can be Right, like apple pie. But one more screams you can't have a barbecue without me. 71-29 corner of the cup is moving on. Yeah, alright, you know what? I'm glad that everything's kind of like coming level and even and out now because, yeah, I would have loved to have seen a matchup of macaroni salad versus pasta salad. Yeah, mac versus pasta. Also. I realized isn't macaroni salad versus pasta salad? Yeah, mac first pasta. Also, I realized, is it isn't macaroni salad, just pasta salad with different dressing. Who, man? Now I'm really hungry.
Speaker 1:Bottom left region ribs. This is what you save your room for, this is what you want to get. You want the ribs? I know a guy who can make good ribs on the grill.
Speaker 1:Potato salad versus deviled eggs Harry, come on now. I want to hear you say what you say. Who do you want? Deviled eggs? 32 to 38. This was the coolest matchup of the week. Deviled eggs moving on. Yeah, as they should. As they should, right. So next week when the polls go out this weekend.
Speaker 1:It is corn on the cob First, deviled eggs, okay, from the left side in the final four, and on the right side, like I said, you got pasta salad going against baked beans. Ladies and gentlemen, do we have a doozy? Here's the thing, dude. You could have a barbecue with hot dogs, burgers, chicken ribs, dev, devil days, tomatoes, corn on the cob, yeah. And what are the other two? Pasta salad and baked beans. Pasta salad, baked beans that is an A plus 100% great cookout. I am there. That is the American dream, right there. Yeah, I would only add macaroni salad.
Speaker 1:I was going to say, if you say chips and salsa, I will give you a flying elbow. I enjoy chips and salsa, but that's not who I'm looking for at a barbecue. It's. The whole reason I went to Chili's tonight was for chips and salsa. Right, it makes perfect sense. Because of this bracket is why I cannot stop thinking about having a salad party. Anything but lettuce salad. I'm going to put it like this is definitely going on our pages Like hey, if somebody asked me what I want for my birthday, it's a salad party, it is a salad party, non lettuce man.
Speaker 1:Egg salad sandwich sounds good right now. That if the egg salad sandwich was on here as a side dish, I'd automatically just put it to the end and you got a countertop egg cooker, hard boiled eggs and all that Go on. So I need to test it out and see how long it takes to make hard boiled eggs, because that means I can almost have very quick Egg salad sandwiches. Not boiling water in a pot or anything like that, just six of them.
Speaker 1:I don't know how many you eat. I don't know how many to eat. What't know how many to eat. What's the amount? That's what I'm saying. Like I'm like I'm gonna get some eggs. How many do you want? Do you want a 12 or an 18 rack? And she's like a. What I was like? A 12 or an 18 rack? Yeah, it's always 18. Well, she was like rack. When we first, you know, started dating everything, she's like what is rack? I was like I referred to everything as as beer. Like, do you want it 12 or an 18 rack? She was rack. I was like a rack. It's like 18. Like you rack 18 of them? I don't know, that's what I call it. I always get 18 eggs, always, yeah, but what I'm saying is when it comes to like an egg salad sandwich. How many eggs is that on the sandwich? And they're made just enough for one. I've always just made enough to make multiple sandwiches. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:We have to figure this math out, dude, dude. It's like hey, how much peanut butter do you pull out of the jar from one sandwich? I don't know, I always make two. I made just one peanut butter jelly sandwich. I have two kids here, I don't know. I just pull out two. Like I don't know. The two little ones went peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I'm making two.
Speaker 1:I want to make it like eight sandwiches because I'm hungry. I don't know, maybe it's like two eggs per sandwich Plus you got to have. Like the mayo seems little and three seems almost too much. Three does not seem like too much. Three eggs on a sandwich? Yeah, harry, if I wanted to right now, I would go fry up three eggs on toast and I'd be content. No, no, no, there's a difference between fried eggs and then egg salad eggs. Yeah, hard boiled eggs Doesn't matter to me, I'm just saying there's no way they're equal with the mayonnaise and all that. No, they're both delicious. Yeah, they're both delicious. Okay, that's all I want to know. I still can't believe we final four. We made it to the final four quick, fast, in a hurry. You know what else? You got to be quick, fast and in a hurry? Radioactive wasps is this how superheroes are made?
Speaker 1:Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for pwn paul's weird news. Here is your host, paul. Hey, harry things that shout out out here on the streets and boy do I got some doozies for you today. You ever have a product that you decide, harry, you want to go buy. You buy a lot, man. It'd be so much easier if I could just scan on my way in and out of the store and be done.
Speaker 1:Well, there's a woman in Switzerland, or, as we here in America say, switzerland. In Switzerland, or, as we here in America say, switzerland. She captured global attention after revealing her Red Bull barcode tattoo that functions at the retail self-checkouts. No way. So a content creator best known as her online name as Dew, like Mountain Dew without the mountain, spelled the same exact way. Kind of weird, her name, not her.
Speaker 1:So she had long considered getting a barcode tattoo, eventually setting on design inspired by her favorite energy drink, which, shockingly, is Red Bull. So in a tick tock that she posted like she is on her arm right. So she goes up to self checkout and she scans her arm, which is like, reminds me of something like from the fifth element, or like a sci-fi movie or the minority report Yep, or the minority report. So I heard Can't hear you out here on the streets right now but so she scanned her arm and successfully got a 250 milliliters, or mils or mls as they say it out there Can a Red Bull. A video showed her celebrating, right as a machine recognizes like woo, yes, high five everybody because it recognizes it.
Speaker 1:But then, harry, here comes my question what happens when the barcode changes? What happens when that Red Bull barcode decides to change and now her tattoo becomes useless? Then she just has a cool story. That's cool, good for her. Even Red Bull Germany reached out and called the artwork Ink Credible Instead of Incredible. They've added a K in between the N and the C. Pretty interesting, good for her, bravo, proud of you.
Speaker 1:But, harry, let's get on that our plane from Switzerland and let's move up to a little town called Bristol, connecticut, or those that don't know how to remember spell it connect, tick, cut. But here's like this time of, I heard it's beautiful year round. Actually I wouldn't mind, but police find a man trapped in a crazy scenario after a burglary call. Usually you hear burglary calls. You think of the craziest, wildest things Wild and crazy kids, that's what I think about. Or the Nickelodeon show. What would you do?
Speaker 1:So firefighters had to rescue a man who got stuck in a chimney of a park building while trying to receive something from a bathroom when the doors automatically locked for the night left something in the bathroom. Doors locked automatically. Police were called to the park in bristol for a burglary complaint and were told by park employees that someone was in the chimney. Now I'm not a smart man, harry, and you'll find out why I say that Firefighters responded to the scene and got that man out after having to remove parts of the chimney and building, causing estimate 5-10 grand worth of damage. Obviously it's going to be a government building, so it's gonna be a little bit more.
Speaker 1:I'm trying to figure out what's what was so important. The man was not injured, by the way. He was not injured, just trapped in a chimney. He was arrested and charged with burglary, trespassing and criminal mischief. He was released on bond and and You're on court you know later date Like okay, let's get you out of here. I have no respect for the guy. Get him out of here.
Speaker 1:He got stuck near the flue of the chimney of the pavilion and locks on the bathroom doors are on new timers that automatically lock the doors at 10 pm Every night. So it wasn't there before, but now, at 10 pm On the dot not 959, not 1001, 10 pm Do 1, 10 pm, doors locked. Well, it's not clear how it got stuck in the bathroom or how long the man had been in the chimney, but the man left his dog in the bathroom. How. This is the part of the story I don't get, and they never got it from him, because it's a crazy scenario and the park staff is working with the police department and the fire department to make sure it doesn't happen again. So they say on the inside, if the door locks, you're in there, you're in the bathroom, it's 958, you run in there, you can open it from the inside, right, like if you're inside, you can get out. You just can't open it from the outside going in. So old dude decided you know what? Lassie ain't listening, I'm jumping in through the chimney. I that's. He ain't listening, I'm jumping in through the chimney. I almost wonder if it was a number two situation. And him and the dog went in together and then he forgot the dog Dog fell asleep in the corner because it was cool or hot or you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:The temperature was probably a lot better. The dog got comfy in the corner, fell asleep, he went about his business. He woke up eventually, right, yeah, right. Now, harry, let's get back on that puddle jumper. Let's go from Bristol, connecticut, all the way down to a little town called Columbia, south Carolina. Some crazy things always happen down there. So I've heard. But the craziest thing to ever happen for me to ever read one of the scariest news articles I was afraid to click on.
Speaker 1:Okay, radioactive wasp nests were found at a site where US once made nuclear bombs. The nest or the wasp are radioactive. The wasp nests are radioactive. What's in a wasp nest? Baby wasp. What comes out of it? I have seen enough, or I've heard enough about Marvel and DC movies. Workers at a site in South Carolina that once made key parts for nuclear bombs for the United States. They have found radioactive wasp nests, but officially there's no danger to anybody. Right, I work for the government. You think I'm going to trust the government when they say there's nothing to worry about with a radioactive wasp. I'm pretty sure that's how 17 movies started in the past 10 years. There's something radioactive Ant-Man and the radioactive wasp. Oh yeah, there was Wasp in there, wasn't that? Yeah, I mean she wasn't radioactive but, like you know, she Shrunk down. But still, I just created 17 Marvel movies in my head Iron man versus the radioactive wasp. Yeah, it's endless. Yeah, it is endless.
Speaker 1:Employees who routinely check radiation levels at the savannah river site found a wasp nest on a post near tanks where liquid nuclear waste is stored. Liquid nuclear waste is stored near this post where they found a wasp nest. Listen, man, I'm not, as I'm not a smart man and I never claim to be smart, tell me there isn't anywhere in the world that we can put nuclear waste for a little bit. There's not one spot where nothing grows and it doesn't matter. I'm actually like seven right now. I would say kim jong-un's desk, but anyway, that's probably a problem there.
Speaker 1:The workers sprayed the nest with insect killer. No, no, removed it, disposed of it as radioactive waste. You're removing it as radioactive waste and allegedly they didn't find any wasps. So who built it? They're radioactive who? They sensed you coming. It was a decoy nest. Now you're thinking so. They did a report and the report said there's no leak from the waste tanks and this was likely radioactive through what they called on-site legacy radioactive contamination.
Speaker 1:I had to read this out. Okay, from the residual radioactivity left from when the site was fully operational. How long ago was this site fully operational? I don't know. And what are you telling me? There's stuff left around. What do you have residual? What is your definition of residual Right? How much plutonium is left around in order for you to tell me it's residual? Like, do I get a stick of plutonium, a Slim Jim? Do I get a ball of uranium? Or is it like some feather dusting, yeah? Now they say, oh, you know, we can't find the wasp.
Speaker 1:But knowing the type of wasp could be crucial, because some make nests out of dirt and others use different materials which could pinpoint where the contamination came from. Well, tom needs to get his act together and find out quick. Is it radioactive wasp? Because I've been stung by a lot of wasps in the last three years and they were regular wasps. I don't want to get stung by a radioactive wasp. Hold up, I feel like Nate Dog right there.
Speaker 1:Hypothetically, what happens if I get stung by a radioactive wasp? Am I going to turn into Wasp man, like Spider-Man? I believe so, yes, or would I die, also a radioactive wasp? Is he cooler or worse than a radioactive spider? It's got to be cooler. You got a stinger dude. I can fly and I can sting people. But if I sting you do I die. Yeah, like them. You know what I'm saying. But I can fly, yeah, and wasps are just total jerks of nature. So, like it's only fitting, you don't need to make that face for me. No, I'm saying like they are. No, I'm agreeing that they're the jerks of nature. I thought you were agreeing that. It suits me very well out here on the streets. But here's my favorite part, harry.
Speaker 1:So Tom, who's an executive director of a group, figured this out. He said I'm mad as a hornet. The Savannah River site didn't explain where the radioactive waste came from. Tom, let's find something else, right, because we have radioactive wasp out here. You can't say you're mad as a hornet. I would have. It's been a perfect time and like I am as mad as a radioactive wasp right now.
Speaker 1:The joke wrote itself. But it wrote itself. Tom fumbled that bag and they're saying that, oh well, if we would have found any wasp, you know like the radiation in the wasp would have been lower, because you know in the nest it's higher and you know it's going to be lower in the wasp. I don't believe it. This is a government conspiracy cover-up. Those wasps are radioactive and we are currently using them to defend this nation. Somehow or some way they're defending something. Do you think we trained, like? Can you imagine trained radioactive wasp? All right, let's you know what. You know what that's a? Let's pack up there, go ahead and kick it. Hang on a second. That's it for me out here on the streets. Harry, back to you in studio t, I was gonna say that the packing of the truck segment is what barcode would you get tattooed on you?
Speaker 1:But now you just you know what? Because we don't have much time, right, we kind of went over today. So what would you do with an army of wasps? Radioactive wasp, radioactive wasp man, I would go up. I would probably cause chaos, like intentionally cause chaos to people. Uh, I wasn't a fan of. Yeah, yeah, you know. I'm saying Like, I imagine in my head like a Looney Tunes swarm of wasps. That's what I'm thinking of yeah, yeah, I always go up and be like oh, you want to cut me off in traffic. Today, amazon sent them out there, boom, get inside their car, make them pull over. You know, don't make them crash, just let them know.
Speaker 1:The reason I say this is because and the reason I ask this is because I don't think there's anything that you can do. That's actually good. Oh no, not with radio. With radio as like, how can you help people? You can't. What can they do to help people? Pollinate? Do they emit radiation? Like, yeah, pollinate, okay, but how much are they leaking radiation into everything? Great, do I have radioactive tomatoes? Because I can't grow a single tomato as it is, so maybe they'll be radioactive. Just one giant tomato, oh man. Yeah, like, what good do wasps do? So they have to be jerks because they can't be good. Yeah, they pollinate and sting me, like that's all they do. And now they're radioactive. Yeah, like, maybe you can use them as pest control.
Speaker 1:To like you have a spider in your house, not anymore, and they're gonna leave a message for people like I just imagine them being like the mob. Like one of them's gonna be named anthony right and the other one's vinnie and paulie going hey, like they're just gonna to beat everybody up. That's my opinion. I imagine they would sacrifice one to sting someone with just one and just be like that's one. Imagine 1,000 all over your body. Yeah, we got 999 left Somehow. One of them has a baseball bat, but a size appropriate one for him. I don't know why they for him I don't know what. Yeah, I don't know why they're Italian. I don't know what I would do. Yeah, I mean cause trying to treat him like the mob, but I don't know.
Speaker 1:Like what good do wasps have and what good do radioactive wasps have? None and none. That's the problem. Yeah, can you imagine if, like I Imagine, if, like I don't know, your neighbor's just annoying you? What if? What if somebody parked in front of you? Like what, if you need a good parking? There's no good parking how strong a radioactive was? Can they pick up a car and move it? Well, that's what I'm saying. Like how many hundreds would you need? I don't know the level of radiation. They got Like on a scale of zero to a hundred. Let's just say they got like 60, but they're well trained. Can they pick up a car? I don't see why not. Can they go pick up my dinner? Where are they going to put their money at? What if I just go ahead and order a head at Taste China right down the street from here?
Speaker 1:I was going to say don't say Taste China, like it's a national wide chain of Chinese food stores. The Taste of China post on the road. No, it's the name of it Taste China. I love it. Google, anybody want to Google Lucky Walk? Taste China, lucky Walk. You know what? That's something we got to put on. It sounds good. That's something we got to put on Facebook is. We want to know the name of everyone's local Chinese food place. Dude, great option. I liked that idea. And what else I like? What else I like is number 88, highest selling album in the United States. Paul, how many title tracks were there? 19. And how many did you sneak into the show? 19. And before we even do we finish that we're a little housekeeping.
Speaker 1:Last week we forgot Rob Gronkowski, somehow, someway. I believe he got lost in this shuffle. Am I taking him? Are you taking him? We didn't forget about him. We talked about him to each other. Yeah, but hey, it happens. It's a show For not bringing up Gronk. I am sorry, we are sorry. Someone brought it to our attention. No disrespect, we apologize.
