#91 - A Seagull Covered In Curry Walks Into The X Games
What do you do when your teams break your heart three times in one night? You find the joy anyway. We open with a raw Philly pulse check and then pivot hard into the good stuff: our favorite athletes to wear 91—Rodman’s chaos and brilliance, Fedorov’s two-way wizardry, Kevin Greene’s pure edge, and Fletcher Cox’s leadership that still echoes. The number turns into a time machine, unlocking memories, arguments, and a few underrated legends along the way.
From there we floor it into NASCAR: why Project 91 matters, how SVG is bending road-course reality, and the playoff math that makes Las Vegas a championship omen. We talk points, momentum, and the “circle this race” mentality that keeps garages honest. Our picks are bold, our receipts are public, and the drama is delicious.
Life off the field brings the balance. A Great Wolf Lodge mishap becomes a hospitality masterclass—quick recovery, real options, and a small gesture that meant a lot. In our couples fantasy league, we confess draft assists, weigh bye weeks, and ride the emotional rollercoaster of win probabilities that somehow govern the kitchen conversation. Then PWN delivers pure wonder: a million-dollar Tony Hawk skateboard deck, a Bay Area squirrel with a mean streak, and a UK “phoenix” that turns out to be a seagull dipped in curry. It’s absurd, specific, and impossible not to share.
We wrap by crowdsourcing joy: the Mount Rushmore of sandwiches. Cheesesteak? Italian hoagie? PBJ’s nostalgic pull? And a spirited case that the humble ice cream sandwich might be the true people’s champion. Sports pain comes and goes, but community and curiosity keep us showing up.
If that sounds like your kind of ride, tap follow, share with a friend who needs a laugh, and leave a quick 5-star review. Your word of mouth keeps this stream flowing.

Do you ever know Donnie Pier?
SPEAKER_02:Donnie Pier.
SPEAKER_01:The Piers? The Piers? Of the street. Yeah. Other side of Washington, yes. Yeah, I think that's a good thing. I don't know if I know their faces, but I know the name. I know the name. I if I could run into all of them right now, I wouldn't remember what any of them look like. But I remember Donnie and I used to hang out on occasion because granddad had a pool table in that garage. His garage was like a legit hangout. It had like one or two TVs, like old school TVs in there. Like VCR and stuff. It was pretty cool. So straight chill pad. Yeah. Bunch of young kids. Yeah, yeah. Like I said, I'm moving to the garage too. So I'm trying to get some things going. I got a couple flags. I just found a hood, uh, bar decoration hood for Miller Light, Bragg Kozlowski number two. Oh, yeah. Uh 40 bucks on the marketplace. So um, however, the accountant has advised me that for the foreseeable future, if you remember last week, my Facebook Marketplace spending is zero dollars. Yeah, it makes sense. There is zero dollars allowed in the Facebook Marketplace budget. However, a quick way around this, ladies and gentlemen, uh, there's plenty of free stuff on there. Always free stuff. There's always free stuff. You know what else is free? This episode of the Trout Stream. Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the Trout Stream. I'm Harry Troutman, and with me as always is my co-host, a man who always cooks chicken perfectly the first time every time. I am Paul Troutman. So pick up a poll, cast a line, and join us on the stream. Today, on the trout stream, we will discuss our favorite athletes to wear 91, hand out our golden trouts and eels of the week, discuss our next bracket idea, and of course, much, much more. Paul, listeners, friends, welcome to the trout stream. Welcome to 91. 91. What a time to be alive. 91 is also the year Harry was born. That is very true. I was gonna drop that in my favorite 91s. However, you ruined it. Well, I took that from you. And you're very welcome. That's my job as the uh older brother. Of course, we've got to give a shout-out to some previous listeners. One in Corydon, Indiana, Boston, Massachusetts, and of course, Balorick Islands in Spain. Oh, yeah. Literally national. Yeah. We're like prestige worldwide. Wide, wide, wide, wide, wide. We are not happy campers. The Phillies just got eliminated from the playoffs. And the state has fallen. Are they even ranked anymore? Not even ranked anymore. It's Thursday, normal recording night for us. We got Thursday night football. We got the Philadelphia Eagles versus the New York football giants, and we are currently down by 10 and just punted the ball away. Ladies and gentlemen, we're not happy. Probably not too much on the sports tonight, because quite frankly, I want to act like sports don't exist. Yep. We love sports. We hate sports. We love sports. It's like a bad relationship. Like, you know, we're gonna get back together. Of course, man. And and and we're gonna give Phillies news and we're gonna find out that this person was hurt and pushing through it, and this, that, and a third. But I mean, at the end of the day, we shouldn't have been in this situation. We shouldn't have been down to nothing to the Dodgers who don't even have a bullpen. It's just rough, but back onto happy things. Because if not, this whole episode will be about the Phillies demise. Yeah, we don't want to cry anymore. No. No, we're we even started the show late to try to get our thoughts together. How was your past weekend? This past weekend, Harry, was phenomenal, and I could be truthful. I'm gonna save it for later. Okay. All I just want you to know, very great weekend. More to come. That's it. I'm holding it. Harry, tell me your weekend. Let's go. I want to hear about it. Well, like I announced on episode, I'm having a baby. I'm not having a baby. My wife's having a baby. It's our baby. Words matter. So we have to get the house ready for a baby. And where do you think I started? That's right. I went outside and organized the shed. Smart move. You gotta start somewhere. Yeah, uh the my very first step for the baby was the the shed because here we go. It's a chain, it's a beautiful chain reaction, is what it is. I'm smelling your step the shed needed clean down so I can move stuff from the garage to the shed. Yes. So I can then move the office to the garage. Yes. And I can move the bins from the spare room also into the garage. Breach. Spare room becomes nursery. Office becomes spare room. But none of that can happen until the shed was cleaned out. I built some shelves. It looked good. I leaked a bunch of oil in there somewhere over time. Not my problem. Um, it wasn't messy. You're supposed to, it's it's shed. You're allowed to. Yeah, it's legal. It's seasoned, you know what I mean? Right, like a good cast iron. Yeah, exactly. And that's uh that was it, man. It's just getting ready for the baby. That's all my weekends are gonna ever be for now, and then it's gonna be the baby. Yeah. That's right. You're not wrong. And then it'll be more weekends about the baby. But that was it, man. That was uh just just busy getting ready. It's funny because like all these weekends were like, hey, what you do this weekend? Uh nothing. Well, the trick, the truth is, no, I did it's not that we didn't do anything. It was the fact that uh I didn't want to tell you guys about the baby stuff. I'm not a boring person. We didn't do anything, yeah. Of course we did stuff, but it was baby stuff, and I wasn't gonna talk about it. Right. Yep, we'll keep it close hold there. You know, you got no one to hold them, no one to fold them, knowing when to fold them, Harry. I'm gonna steal this one from you. Now we went to the Rova last week. You picked a 2-3. I said coming back in the four or five. I won last week. We'll talk more about NASCAR. I'm gonna leave this one off because we are hitting a number that is amazing. That there are several big names that I don't know if we're gonna hit them all. It is going to get tough. I'm gonna start off with a sport we haven't really talked too much about. NHL. There are about five or six guys at Ward 91, right? This isn't the best. This isn't this is our favorite. Sergei Fedorov. Two-way forward, great on offense, great on defense, hall of famer. If you knew he was on the ice, you knew you're gonna see something special. I mean, he's not Wayne Gretzky special, but he's good. Huge respect to Fedorov. Now let's take go from uh let's take that puck to the big orange ball that bounces called basketball, Harry. Same, usually same arena, right? Used to be known as Wells Fargo Arena, the Flyers in uh 76 playing the same arena. How about this man? Number 91. You don't know what color Harry's gonna have because whatever team he's on, he married himself, Carmen Leccher, and I believe Madonna, uh the only player that Phil Jackson gave a 48-hour pass to to go to Vegas during the playoffs of NBA. Y'all know him, the man, the myth, the ambassador to North Korea at one point, to sit down with Kim Jong-un before the president of the United States did to try and settle relations. Dennis Rodman. I don't get it. I I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I just know what I've ever seen of Dennis Rodman, and it was weird. As a basketball player, though? Heck yeah. All in. I believe he was on the um the original Bad Boys in Detroit. I believe it. I think so. He was out there with Bill Lambier, Isaiah Thomas. I think he was there, but I know he's he's bounced around team to team and just a bad, bad man. Now, you want to talk about a bad, bad man, Harry. How about number 91? Number four on the all-time sacks list for the NFL career. I believe he's at like 166. Played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and at one point he was the Carolina Panthers. I don't know any other teams, off the top of my head. Like I said, most of the stuff is minimal research. That's why I like this part. I don't believe he's related to me and Joe, but played like him as a linebacker, Kevin Green. He was before your time.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, way before my time. He was the end of his career, it was a beginning-ish of my time, right? He played for Carolina, so you know what that means. Like he ended with Carolina, I believe. Just like Reggie White did. So, I mean, that was late 90s, mid to late 90s. But Kevin Green, what a stud. Now think about that. I don't want to ruin next week's episode, but for three numbers in a row, the Carolina Panthers are going to have three stud defensive players because Kevin Green. Last week 90 was Julius Peppers, Peppers Problem Witt, and the man, the minister next week that I'm going to talk about. How many sacks right there between those three? A lot. A lot. Speaking about sacks, my next 91, who'd number 91 for the Kansas City Chiefs. I specifically remember this player because he played for Penn State University as well. Five. Penn State, Ohio State. It's fourth quarter. Troy Smith is our quarterback for Ohio State, and they're driving. Penn State's up like 21-17 or something like that. Really close game. I'm at an Ohio State bar in Vegas. I'm the only one in there wearing blue. To include, I don't think anybody was wearing blue jeans. That's serious. First time I was ever denied service, all I wanted was a coke. Because I broke my bike there. Motorcycle, not bicycle. I'm not that hip. As the time's expiring, Ohio State's driving. Here comes this man around the corner, strip sack of Troy Smith. See where I tied in sack and sack. Strip sack, Troy Smith. Penn State picks up the ball. I yelled ball, ran out, said bye to my friends, got on my motorcycle and left. The one, the only, Tamba Ali. What a memory. I'm stealing this one from you. I told you I got a list. I cannot narrow my list down because I got it all here. We're a show. Two brothers, mid-30s, sports life, everything in between. If there's one thing we love in sports, is when brothers play together or against each other, right? You got the Rich Troutman brothers that have a podcast. Not old Lowe's, but something along those lines. I think it's the opposite of that. There's brothers everywhere. NFL, Kyle, and number 91, Chris Long. Was Chris 91 on the Patriots as well? I believe he was 91 on the Patriots. I he was 91 at Virginia, 91 with the Rams, who drafted him. I think he was like number nine overall draft pick. Oh. Like people don't realize that. And Howie, we said in episode 75, I'll say it again, episode 91. Their dad is Howie. The first Fox Sunday game broadcast that Howie missed was when the Rams were playing the Bears and his sons were going against each other. And it's not like the Kelsey brothers where they're both offense. Chris Long is a defensive end. Kyle Long is an offensive guard. Or attack. I know they're a lineman. So they were literally going against each other. How great is that? Iron sharpens iron, dude. It does. Speaking about iron sharpening iron, I didn't leave this. I didn't let this one off the show sheet because it just dawned on me, Harry. Football, hockey, basketball, we got to cover the other one. Baseball. My favorite pitcher growing up. This is a legit favorite. One year for the Kansas City Royals in 2008, one of the craziest wind-ups, one of my favorite pitchers of all time, Hideo Nomo. Now he wore like 10 with the Dodgers. I think he was like 18 with the Brewers. Back when I was a big Brewers fan, you know. But he wore 91 with the Kansas City Royals. So after my 91, I got two. I got one basketball metal world piece wearing the 91. This is uh four million round artists. After the Malice in the Palace. Yeah, when uh when he found peace and he won at World Peace. Yeah. And then the Lifetime Eagle. Correct. Great. Irreplaceable Fletcher Cox.
SPEAKER_00:Good choice, dude.
SPEAKER_01:Listen, I love what Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter are doing, but the the kids are young. I don't feel like we have that strong veteran leadership on the defense. We have Zach Bond, who I'm very happy and proud to have. But we also don't have that big scary guy to keep every guy in line and in check. Yeah. Like you didn't mess around around Fletcher. Like Fletcher knew how to have fun, but he also knew when it was worth time. Yeah, what the Eagles really need is you and I out there. Yeah without question. But big Fletcher Cox fan always have been, always will be retired too soon. They always do. We mentioned them, a couple of them, but there is only six NBA players to wear 91. It's not many. No, it's not. That is slightly under half of the MLB players. I've already mentioned one. Here Onomomo. But my favorite from 2003, Tim Spoony Barger. Say that again? Tim Spoony Barger. That's a great name. He went uh win-loss record of two and three that year with a 6.36 ERA. Best 91. Spoonie Barger. That sounds like a that sounds like an 1800s name. It does. It does not sound like it belongs to 2003. Not at all. But with a crazy last name like that, it's just Tim. Yeah. Hey, what's up? Tim. Spoons. What's up? Oh, it probably was Spoons. Spoonie Barger. Like, is that um utensil boat? I don't know. Speaking about utensil boat, let's go to the NFL for our number 91 overall draft picks. I have three. Let's go uh newest to oldest 2016. New England Patriots select Tom Brady's backup quarterback, Jacoby Brissett. The San Francisco 49ers select one of my favorite linebackers of that era. Shorter career than most. Dude was a monster. Dude was a him with Patrick Willis on the 49ers defense. Defensively, they should have just dominated more. Navarro Bowman. Dude was a monster. Pretty sure he played with a club hand several games. You don't see that too much anymore. Not anymore. No. It's wild. Probably because it's banned or, you know, they went to play. It's probably a lot safer to not play it with a literal giant club. But Harry, let's go back a little bit. 2002. Out of Villanova University from the greatest county in the country. Delko, Doko, Doku. Number 91 overall selection goes to the Philadelphia Eagles, and they selected running back Brian Westbrook. I mean, we praised him on episode 36. I'll praise him again. Severely underrated outside of the Philadelphia Eagles organization. 100%. Severely. As a fantasy football player, starting in 04-05 time frame. If you're playing a PPR league back then, Brian Westbrook was the running back that gave you a vision of love. I'm getting double the points having him as my running back. And Harry, last but not least, it's been a while since I've gone to any other sport to find somebody you know worthy. How about Major League Baseball? 2006. The Washington Nationals. This one here, Harry. To find the name just right. They say love takes time, but how about the right name takes time? Stephen King. Author? I I don't believe so. Because it's 2006, and I think by then he was uh I'm not gonna guess his his age. He's immortal, old and creepier. I think Stephen King's a creepy looking dude. I mean it just it jives. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Check his basement.
SPEAKER_00:Also, don't say too loud because uh vanishing will happen. We don't want that.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah. Uh, like I said, check his basement. Uh moving on to some 91s here. We got the 91st highing selection album in the United States is Garth Brooks Sevens. We covered a lot of tracks last week. We did, yeah. Uh a lot when we did 34 song titles hidden throughout the episode. The 91st Billboard Top 100 song, Bruno Mars, just the way you are. That had a grip on people in high school. The highest grossing movie, I think this is a new one, Inside Out. It is a new one, Harry. We have reached a new title. Uh Love Inside Out. Great, great movie. We are running out. One is Jamie Farr, Max Klinger. Which had we talked about Klinger already before? I know we talked about Klinger on the show with the section eight. Yeah. Talking about Alan Alda. Alan Alda. That's right. That's right. We got Pat Boone. He's still uh still around, still hanging out with us. I really appreciate it, Pat. Shirley Jones, and uh, she was in Grandma's Boy. Yeah, Shirley. And Sophie Loren. She is still with us. Sophie is? Sophie is still with us. I did not uh I did not see that one coming. Now are you ready to go over some people we lost at 91? I don't want to cry, but I'm in. We have Jerry Lewis, Julia Child. Okay, Robert Hardy. From the Hardy boys? Close. Piper, Lari. I'm pretty sure she looks like, I'm not sure. Okay, well that's she looks like the grandma from scratch that. I thought she was one of the grandmas in National Lampoons. She might be, but I I don't have time to search it right now. Okay, gotcha. Then we have Harry Dean State. Harry Dean Staten. Quincy. Harry Dean Staten? Yes. He's an actor. I'm trying to think about what he was in. He was in uh he was in the Green Mile. I'm trying to think of where I remember him though. Wow, Hart. He's in a lot of stuff that I know. But I just can't think of any, of course. And then we have Ed Eisner, Giorgio Armani, Hugh Hefner, Pablo Picasso, and this one that broke my heart. This one just happened at number one. Jane Goodall. I'm sorry to bring it up. Jane Goodall. Yeah, I mean, she's a wonderful woman. Someday, I think the rest of the world's going to appreciate her by the way we do. Yeah. I hope she deserves it. Jumping over to NASCAR. The 91 car has 322 races, 17 wins. 1951 through 1953. 16 wins by Tim Flock. Yeah, Big Tim. Another Big Tim name. And the latest coming in 2023 by SVG on Project 91. I'm a big fan of Project 91. Track House Racing brought it in, wanting to bring uh international drivers to the NASCAR scene. Hey, what can we do to spice up the life a little bit here? Trackhouse really said there's got to be a way to get somebody like SVG onto these road courses. We need him. So they created Project 91, which SVG drove for in 2003 for Chicago for the road course. I don't know how many drivers it's been, but first NASCAR race gets a win. And then this year he wins five road course races. He won last race, we'll get into it a little bit, by over 15 seconds. Like dominating fashion. He is that good. He is that good. That's not a question. As a state, he is that good. So it's awesome. I'm just waiting to see who else they bring into that machine later on. Are they supposed to bring anyone else back in or are they having charter issues? I think there might be some issues. I know there's some other guys they wanted to bring in. They brought some other guys, but SVG driving the 88 car now leaves a 91 open for other opportunities. I'm not a big fan of road courses, but bringing new guys in here to kind of showcase it, I'm in. I mean, I I think it could be a great partnership between other racing leagues around the world. It can be. Open the door to Indy and F1 guys, like you think you're good, come on in. Yeah. Come drive one of these. They can't do it. We are headed to Vegas. You got to win. You get first picked this week. But where are we points-wise? And how many races do we have left? Because it's getting cold outside, buddy. NASCAR's gonna be winding down. Well, it's cold for you guys. We have four races left. You're sitting at 181 points in the playoffs, and I'm sitting at 197 points in the playoffs. Not to include my 10 bonus points for picking Chase Elliott at Kansas. We're moving to Las Vegas. We're in the round of eight after these next three races: Kansas, Tal Dega, and Martinsville. We go down to the final. With that being said, we are going to Vegas. Mile and a half track. People need wins. Somebody needs to stay alive. I'm going bold, Harry.
SPEAKER_00:I'm going real bold.
SPEAKER_01:How many points did uh did we say Bo Wallace got for you last week? Bobby cost me 22. Joey Logano. Okay. I see you're Joey. And I was hoping you weren't going to go Joey. I was hoping you were going to go conservative. So I could then take Joey. But because that's not the case, give me the nine car of Chase Elliott. Bold strategy. Is what you think I would say. Give me the five car, Kyle Larson. Final answer. Nice move, Harry. Nice move. You need to make it up because uh in the six playoff races, I am up four to two. I know. I need uh I need a win. I need a strong win. I need a unlike the birds right now. I need a win. Vegas, I really hope the five wins. I'm a five fan. I want the 22 to just edge him out. Maybe the five can get a solid second to Joey's win. Joey really going to upset some people if he makes it to the round of four. If you win Vegas, the winner of this race, mark my words. If the winner of this race is a current playoff driver, they will win the championship in Phoenix. Haven't you proven that time and time again? Yes. Joey Logano did it last year. Kyle Larson did it two years ago. Three years ago, four years, whatever it was, whatever he won his championship. They have the Logano camp has had Vegas circled for a while. That's why I went with him. That yellow, that golden pen's oil machine. That Pennsylvania oil, we call it Penz Oil. It's going to edge out that beautiful five machine. Speaking about gold, speaking about pens oil, Harry, let's jump into golden trouts here. Like a fish out of water. Let's jump, splash back in, let's stir it up a little bit. I got one. Got more to work. So this weekend, it's fall break here. I think it's fall break most places anymore. Something we didn't have in school. Yeah, Anch actually has a fall break tomorrow and Monday. She's a long weekend, four-day weekend. So I believe I did the math. There are nine-week grading periods. So you have when school starts, nine weeks later, fall break. Nine weeks later is your winter break. Nine weeks at that is spring break. Nine weeks later, summer. So I'm like, well, I'll be. They're sending it on up. So Olivia, since she's in school, fall break. Sabrina set us up to go to Great Wolf Lodge. I don't know if you've ever been. Don't know listeners, I don't know if you ever heard. Great Wolf Lodge is one of those places and their staff and their hospitality is like sent from above. Sent from up above there to help us out, to guide us. So what it is, Harry, is an indoor water park. Yes. Great place. I love some of their rules, you know, their deals. So if you check in, can't check in until four, but you get there. And even their website stuff say, leave your luggage in the car, but have a side bag ready for your swimsuit. Because you get there, like, yep, I'm checking in later today. You can still go to the water park, even though you don't have a room. That is so cool. We get there early. Boom, we do our thing, and it was really nice. The indoor water park, like there's a kids' area, like a little kids' area, like a foot and a half deep. And then there's a medium kids area with like this really cool treehouse, ginormous, like looks like a wooden bucket on top. And Harry, when I'm saying ginormous, like huge, like the size of my garage, huge. And then every so often as it's filling up, you can see it like filling up, looks like an old school bucket, and just tips down and splashes everybody. But it's like a tidal wave. Oh, that's so cool. Yeah. Terrifying, but cool. There's a wave pool, there's a bigger kid pool, and then a bunch of slides. So we go down there, Sunday. We check in, we do our thing. Everything's wristband, by the way. So it's kind of scary. Everything's on a wristband, but like your room key, you can get your credit card or debit card hooked up to your thing. So it's a water park. You're not carrying around a bunch of stuff with you. Yeah, I didn't even think of that. Everything you need is on your wristband. It's also a lot safer for everyone. Yes, because it's attached to you. Yeah. It's not like you gotta bring your wallet down and hide it in a towel. Right, or pay 20 bucks for a uh locker. A locker. What was nice is we said uh only two of our four wristbands need to have money attached to it because we don't want our girls having money. No, I don't think you would. Especially if we go to an uh arcade. So we're there for two hours. We're down there having fun in the pool. Like, all right, we went up to the room at one point, we found a room, we dropped a lot of her stuff off, and then we went. Had fun with the girls. You can rent towels, they scan your wristband, like, yeah, I need four towels, please. They scan your wristband for four towels. What? So you had to you had to bring your towels back, or they charge you like 15 bucks a piece.
SPEAKER_00:Are they worth$15?
SPEAKER_01:No, not at all.
SPEAKER_00:I didn't think so.
SPEAKER_01:No. That's how they get you to make sure you bring them back. We get to our after we're done swimming, we get back to our room. And there is a gentleman standing there, and I'm like, Yeah, you're kidding me. Sales rep. They're gonna try and get us with something here, marketing guy or whatever it is. No, it was a manager on duty, Jonathan, and he goes, Hey, I'll let you guys get in your room. The room directly above you has a water leak right now.
SPEAKER_00:Oh.
SPEAKER_01:So we shut the water off that room, but your bathroom is probably gonna be full of water. We go in there, and our bathroom is full of water. So he's like, Do you guys want to stay here or do you want to up, you know, move rooms upgrade? Well, we'll we'll move rooms. He goes, now do you want like a balcony or maybe bunk beds, you know, or whatever? Giving you the option. He he starts giving us options here. Nothing better than options by the manager, baby.
unknown:Right.
SPEAKER_01:He goes, I mean, maybe a little breakfast voucher. Because the food on site is not cheap.
unknown:Right.
SPEAKER_01:You know, so we're like, yeah, let's get this new room and a breakfast voucher will be fine. He says, You guys want a balcony? And I was like, Sabrina goes, Yeah, sure. Let's take a balcony. So we get a new room. We went from two queen-sized beds to a full-size bed with a pull-out couch. But there's really cool like club or cub den bunk beds for the girls. And like a three-foot balcony. Well, we go out, we're on the fifth floor, we go look out the balcony, and there's Piper standing up on a little end table on the balcony, and I was like, Yeah, we're locking this balcony door. That's not terrifying. Yeah, nope, not at all. Piper's such a machine, dude. She is a machine. People tell me it's all in your mind. No, Piper is a machine. If there's anybody who's gonna take me out, it's Piper. It's funny because I was just getting ready to say, buddy, she might be a Terminator. I don't know, because Piper's my little buddy. Well, she might be here to protect you. Yeah, I didn't say which terminate. That's what I'm thinking. She might be the T1000 to save me. She was standing on that table in the balcony to peer out over to look for threats. Yeah, she was looking for threats. She was scanning, dude. She wasn't like she wasn't being. Who am I gonna elbow? Who am I elbow dropping from the top rope here? Yeah, who do I got a throat chop to protect my dad? You know? Yeah. So we uh Piper and I shared the pull-out count. Uncomfortable as it was. But no, my goal to drop just goes out the Great Wolf Lodge and Grapevine for just the hospitality. And like they were on top of it. So much so Monday we go get breakfast. It's like a breakfast buffet. Piper ate free because she's under three. So we go through. And like somebody's like, Yep, uh, table for four at the buffet, and she hands it the voucher. Lady working, she goes, I'm sorry you had a bad experience here. Like, what do you mean? She goes, You have a free breakfast voucher. They only hand those out to people who have bad experiences.
unknown:Oh no.
SPEAKER_01:We're like, but we had a good experience. Like, it's just we're having fun. Nothing went wrong. The floor above is flooded. Things naturally went wrong. It's okay. Yeah. Things happen, man. I had another golden trout, I can't think of it right now. It's not Philadelphia Sports.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:It might be for I can't think of it right now. I'll save it for 92. My golden trout goes out to chance. And guy, I don't know who started this league, but you and I were currently in a fun league where it is husbands and wives, and we are both playing our wives respectfully this week. Let's, let's, let's, let's, you know, we don't we don't have a bracket, so we got some time here. We don't have state laws written down, so we got some time to kill on this one. Let's lay the cards on the table. Let's be truthful with each other and our listeners. Yes. 100%. You're are you ready? I'm ready. Did you help Sabrina with the draft? Because I'll be I'll tell you my truth. Oh, I helped her. Yes. Okay. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was some help. I she did a lot. Did Angela's draft? But what's so great is like I said, I'll be open and honest. And it was so perfect because my team is with my heart, and her team is straight strategy. I took my heart out of her team. That's smart. And she came out the number one powerhouse. And then she faltered. And then she stumbled, like we all do at fantasy. Well, she let go of half her players. She had she had a fantasy freak out. Ah. And then CeeDee Lamb got injured. Neighbors went out for the year. I mean, it's just been rough for Edge. But yeah, I have not had the reins on her team, no part, in two or three weeks. Yeah. It's been great. Yeah. Yeah. I'll be like, hey, you know, I still give her reminders. Hey, set your line up. You know what I mean? You know, Sunday mornings, hey, you might want to look over things. Make sure everything's good. But she has her own team, and it is so fun to watch her just explode because it's her first year playing fantasy. I haven't played fantasy in years, but I know how it works. Yeah, it's been a while since I played, just busy with the girls. And uh Sabrina's the same way, and like she's probably gonna be mad right now because I'm playing her. Eagles and Giants are playing. Uh I have Cam Scattaboo on my bench with 31 points. Disgusting. Yeah. Uh and then she has got her on her bench with 29 points. You both are gonna make the headlines this week. Yeah, yeah. We're not making good headlines. So when it came to draft night, they circled on the calendar, you know, like we all did. I started cooking dinner early. She said, Why are you cooking dinner so early? Uh, we have a draft to attend. And she's like, Oh yeah. Grab your pearls, sweetie. We got a draft party. Over the years, her and I have I've had an iPad for a long time. She picked up a refurbished one for our girls for road trips and stuff. Great idea. Dad advice for you in a few years. So I was like, hey, get into your iPad, download this app. Okay. And there we are, we had them set up at the dinner table. And we don't ever sit next to each other booth style. No, that's not even at the dinner.
SPEAKER_02:That's weird.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, like nowhere. Like not at home, never. But for dinner that night, I said, come here and set your chair up. And so we sat and each of us had one of the girls to our side, and she's like, Okay, how do how do I do this? Like I didn't send her to a mock draft or nothing. She was like, Well, I want this guy. I think she had the number two pick. Yeah, she had a great pick. I think she had the number one. And she's like, I want Saquon right away. And I was like, Cool.
SPEAKER_00:Okay.
SPEAKER_01:She's like, how do I get him? I was like, well, you gotta wait for the ESPN tone to say it's your pick. Pick him. And then uh showed her through that. And I all I did was like, hey, you need to start looking at some bye weeks. You need to start paying attention to certain things here. Okay, now you probably need a quarterback. You need a tight end. So I she did well by herself, but I just gave her a little bit of pointers. Because she went Saquon Barkley, then AJ Brown. I said, Don't draft too many Eagles at one time. Don't go to for too many guys on the same team. So then she went Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey. And I was like, okay, let's diversify here. I'm a little worried about your bye weeks. But yeah, she uh she stays on top of it. I mean, she just yelled at me yesterday. She's like, I'm gonna bench AJ Brown. Well, first off, she's she's learning the lingo. She's like, I'm gonna cut AJ Brown. I said, You're what? Yeah. No, you're not. You don't cut AJ Brown. You you can bench him. You can bench him all day. Do not cut AJ Brown. Someone, I don't know who, dropped George Kittle. Because he got hurt. Well, he he's coming back soon. Like next week. Okay, so I picked him up, put him on my bench. He's George Kittle. Right. You put him on your IR. You hold him. So hold on to him tight. Hold on loosely and don't let go. Like George Kittle is that guy just sitting there on the bench going the waiver going, you need me. Yeah. Yeah. All in all, I am having fun. I am I am excited to play Ange this week. Do you guys have any side bets going on? No, I'm just gonna say we should have put a side bet on it, but we've been so we still have time. I mean, because she's up on me. And it's uh she Sabrina is big on the percentage because we do it through ESPN. Ange is too, she loves the percentage. Your win probability, so she's probably freaking out right now. She goes, my win probability is at 51%. I can guarantee you that's what she's saying inside right now. Like Saquon ain't putting up numbers this week. AJ Brown's not putting up his numbers this week. I mean, but Philly's defense is not putting their numbers up either. I just don't know what I want that side bet to be. I gotta figure it out. And then next week, you and I play the only time during the regular season. How do we not play twice? Not even in the playoffs. Well, there's a regular season. You said that. You said that. Okay, you said that. I'm sorry. Yeah, I said that. You know, as as as we sit here, it just sucks to be a Phillies fan today. This week. A Pennsylvania fan. No, we had Penn State, Phillies, Eagles, Flyers. I don't know. Joel MB's knee is probably blown out and he's done for the season after today. I don't know. That's a that's not a true statement. But what today's going, I bet it becomes true. Let's see, in the last five days, we've had Penn State lose to a beaten team. Like you don't come undefeated, right? If they never won. So a defeated team, they were 0-4, Penn State lost to them. Phillies lost. Sunday the Birds lose. Love it. Sunday the Phillies lose. Love it. Tuesday, Phillies win. Yay. Thursday, we have three teams playing at the same time. Phillies game four of the NLDS. Eagles playing the Giants divisional game. Flyers playing the Florida Panthers in Florida. I think they play Miami. They gotta be Miami. Lost all three. So uh we are one and seven than last week. That is brutal. Sunday we lose to the Broncos that are two and two. And then Thursday we lose to the Giants that are one and four. Come on, man. You know what is undefeated? You know what is a win? PWN Paul's Weird News. Here is your host, Paul. Hey Harry, thanks for the shout out here on the streets. Boy, do I have some doozies for you this week. Remember the uh skateboarding craze back in the late 90s, early 2000s. Remember when we went to X Games in Philly? Uh in 2001, I actually sent you a video the other day of, I think it was Bob Bernquist and Tony Hawk playing doing teams on the half pipe indoors. And on the half pipe in the middle is a Liberty bell. It's a white Liberty Bell with a crack and it says X Games 2001. Yeah, I sent you that clip the other day, and I was like, oh yeah. Because sometimes I feel like the X Games are a fever dream. Right. One would think. Did they happen? Did they not happen? Because everything you see is not of the Philadelphia X Games. Until I found this clip. But yeah. Right. Yeah. I'm pretty sure we were on something then. Or it was just an excuse for us to go to Hooters, get autographed from somebody, and eat a bunch of wings.
SPEAKER_00:Either way, I'm in.
SPEAKER_01:But let's go back to 1999, Harry, when the X games were in the city of San Francisco. Where Tony Hawk broke the record, set the standard, raised the bar. When he did the uh kick flip mick twist, was that what they called it? That was his other special move on Tony Hawk video game. But when he pulled off the 900 trick, a two and a half turn trick. Very few skateboarders even tried to do this. But he did it at the 1999 X games, which were held in San Francisco. Tony Hawk, who was 31 time, held on to that skateboard. And for some reason, I mean, yeah, you think about it, you just did a 900 on that skateboard. Like it's not your talent, it's skateboard's talent. And it's like that move in 99 made him one of the most well-known names across America. He still gets, he'll still be in public, and everybody's like, man, you look a lot like Tony Hawk. And it's like, weird, because I am. Anyway, moving on. Like, could you imagine being that famous where people think that you look like you? Yeah. Well, Dolly Parton lost to Dolly Parton look like contest. Yeah, it's seen from one of my favorite movies, Lucky Number Slevin. I'll tell you a story. Charlie Chaplin there and Charlie Chapman Look Like Contest finished third. Oh, that's a story. Back to this story. So Tony Hawk decides he wants to uh sell, auction off the Birdhouse quote Falcon 2 that he named the deck from the old uh 900 he did there. So there's a collection up for sale. It also included other extraordinary price Tony Hawk paraphernalia, ranging from an autograph Frosted Flakes box that went for$512 to a scraped knee pad he wore to make history in$1999 that topped$57,000. Harry, the Falcon 2 Birdhouse Skate Deck sold for an astounding$1.15 million. Somebody paid a million dollars for a skateboard deck. Here's the thing. If I was rich enough, I don't know if I would buy it. But secondly, I'm not smart enough to where if I did buy it, I would try and ride it and I would break it. Again, that's just one of those things, like you said. Even if I had the money, I don't think so. No, that's just not something I've been on. I love Tony Hawk. Huge Tony Hawk fan. But not gonna spend 1.15 mil on a birdhouse Falcon 2 deck. Not happening. Not happening. You know what, Harry? For the first time in a very long time for PWN, we are just gonna get in a car. And we're gonna go a few blocks down the road from where the X games were to our next door. Two people in this California city of San Francisco have been sent to the ER. At least two have been sent to the ER after someone or something was seeking food from them. And there's stories that you say that you gotta try and keep a straight face for. Maybe that's why I'm not a real news anchor because I couldn't say it. Right. But residents of the San Francisco Bay Area are on the lookout, Harry, for an aggressive, for a volatile, for an ER-sending squirrel. They don't have a name, so I'm gonna call him Victor. Okay. Right? Maybe Igor. I'll call him Igor because it sounds like a name for somebody that was. So Igor, the squirrel, has sent at least two people to the emergency room for medical treatment. Obviously, my favorite thing about news articles, it says it sent two people to the emergency room for medical treatment. Why else am I going to a medical? Why am I going to go on the emergency room? Sometimes they have the best vending machines. I was just going to say, do they have the best vending machine?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Are they the only one that has diet cherry Pepsi, right? Little cherry cola in my life? No. So one lady named Joanne says she was just walking in her neighborhood when a squirrel seemingly came out of nowhere and attacked her leg, clawing and biting. I just imagine, like, bee, I'm just hanging out, hanging out in my town here, walking through my neighborhood, and then boom, Igor the squirrel just comes and attacks your leg. She said, and I quote, it clamped onto my leg, the tail went flying up here. I was like, get off me, get off me. What else are you going to say to a squirrel that's biting you? Please hang on? We're going for a run later? Did you pack your bags? Are you alone in love? And then another poor woman named Isabel also said she was attacked while walking in the same area. So she's like, hey, I'm walking here. And here comes Igor, the squirrel launched herself from the ground to her face and went up on her arm, leaving it bloody. First off, I think we need to get Igor into the high jump competition. Because this woman is at least 5'5. I never met her, but Isabel sounds to be 5'5. That's pretty high for a squirrel to just clear. Clear 5'5? Yeah. Easily. And my favorite part is like the culture we're in now with all this technology, but they said, nah. Paper flyers have been posted warning residents that the squirrel is no joke. And that more than five people have been attacked by the quote, very mean squirrel that comes out of nowhere. I wouldn't believe it. If I'm walking down the street, if I'm minding my own business, make my way downtown, walking fast, and I see a flyer that says, very mean squirrel that comes out of nowhere. Caution. No, I ain't believing that. I am not believing that. But they're like, hey, there's been no reports for a few weeks. Squirrel attacks. But if he crops up again, there's a nonprofit organization out there that will coordinate with the state to remove the animal. Nonprofit. They're going to coordinate with the state. I'll show you how they coordinate with the state. Not beep, boop, beep, beep. Yeah, I found him. Boom. Pick up the phone. Nonprofit. I'm not getting paid for that. I'm going to call animal control. Bring your net. But the news article didn't say the good thing is that squirrels are not vectors for abyss. But the main cause of this is people are feeding wild animals. So they come up close. It's almost like the time our cousin Robert came down to visit us from the mountains of Pennsylvania. And we go down to the riverfront and uh the great town of Marcus Hook. He's just doing something with his hand. He's calling all these squirrels over, and I'm like, what are you doing? But he's like, I want to pet the squirrel. And I look over him and said, it's probably not a great idea. They are going to bite you. And he's like, no, man, I'm fine. I do this all the time. And I was like, well, you hang out with mountain squirrels that are more laid back. These are Delaware County squirrels that they don't want you to pet it. They think you got something for it. And I remember he's just sitting there rubbing his thumb and his index finger together, like, hey, come here. I was like, you need to stop that. Because he's going to think your thumb is a peanut and he's going to bite it. And I mean, there's a I met me, you, Robert, pretty sure our sisters were there. Bunches. I'm like, man, you need to stop that. And sure enough, not even five minutes later, you hear this dude just yelp. Yelling. Like, what's wrong? The squirrel just bit me. And I'm like, I literally gave you a warning. Your thumb is shaped like a peanut. Squirrels like peanut. What are you doing here? Pretty sure you ran away crying at one point. But like, what are you doing? Don't. These are Delaware County squirrels. You don't try and pet these guys. It's like jumping into a tire cage at a zoo. Yeah. I just want to pet the cat. No, Robert. No, Igor. Stop biting people in the face and in the leg. And also I've realized all these PWN articles, we're going off the rails here. You and I could be news reporters. Yeah. Let me go interview somebody who said, she said, get off my leg. Well, yeah. What else are you going to say to a squirrel that's attacking your leg? I mean, this is journalism one-on-one now. Hey, bud. Hang on. Let's go for a ride. That squirrel's going to go for a ride. There for a spot of tea. Like, what are you going to do when a squirrel's attacking your leg? First off, if he's gripped on tight enough, he's going to see if he can take a punch in the face. Would you try and punch a squirrel? Yes. I would think of like some kind of swing. Imagine it's on my calf. Right, right. So now I got to try and like get down there. My luck, I'm going to punch myself in the back of the calf. I'm going to give myself a cholly horse. I'm going to miss and somehow hit my thigh. And I'm going to lay him down just crying. But let's move from Igor the Squirrel. And let's get on an airplane, Harry. Let's head over to see our friends. Let's go see our friend Andrew over there in the United Kingdom. Or in the streets, we call it UK. Let's leave Igor the squirrel and go meet up with our buddy Vinny. Hey, Vinny the Seagull. Is it a seagull? We don't know. Because reports of a Phoenix was seen in the United Kingdom. Near the I'm not making this up. This is direct from their site. The Tiggy Winkles Wildlife Hospital in the United Kingdom. Man. Tiggy Winkles. Tiggy Winkles. All right. We have Phoenix Wells. They saw a Phoenix. Yeah. Yes. Tiggy Winkles Wildlife Hospital. They thought they saw a Phoenix. Right? The mythical creature, Harry Potter, River Phoenix, Joaquin Phoenix, Phoenix, Arizona. They all rise from the ash. Well, it turns out Vinny the Seagull did not rise from the ash in his golden color as he's flying around. Vinny the Seagull rose from a local curry house. They're thinking this is the tropical Phoenix, you know, rising from the ashes, doing some crazy things. Until they realize that the seagull somehow got into a curry house and they got stuck in the curry and then flew off. So there's a seagull flying around. Smells delicious. Precooked. Glowing orange, like a nice yellowy orange gold color, let's say. Making everybody believe it's a Phoenix. When it turns out it's our guy Vinny. Hey, yo, Vinny over here. Just he was really in the mood for some curry, went head first. And with that, Harry, that's it for me out here on the streets. Back to you in Studio T. All Black Squirrel one time. Over by Fair Acres. Like a black squirrel. Oh, really? Yeah. Kind of like blew my mind a bit. Yeah, I mean, that's pretty cool. I didn't know they lived in America. Well, neither with Black Widows. Oh man, Black Widows on the West Coast. Nope. They're here in Jersey. Yeah, I set them on fire. I was at a state park. I wasn't allowed. That makes sense. In California and Vegas, we had them in our hangars. In the tracks of the doors. So wild to me. Yeah, that was pretty much my motivation to get promoted was I don't have to do this stuff. I don't have to go back in there, open these doors, because there's black widows in there. Okay, for a million dollars, right? Peer factor championship. You ready? Maybe. I'm in. You got and here's the here's the part that's gonna mess you up the most is that it's you have to pick one. Okay, you ready? Yep. And in a chair, right? Mm-hmm. You got snakes being poured all over you. Mm-hmm. You got spiders, or you got mice. Which one are you picking? Snakes, spiders, mice. What kind of snakes? A bunch of different kinds. Nothing that can hurt you, though. Snakes. No biting. There will be some constrictor. There will be constricting. Uh where my hands. My hands tied up? Yes. Snakes. Someone will make sure you don't choke and die. Yeah, fine. As long as the constrictor doesn't constrict any part of my body, give me snakes. No venomous. They're not gonna kill me, right? Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh-huh. Snakes. Okay. Snakes is now off the table. You now have spiders or mice. You can take that thousand uh million dollars and give it yourself. Really? My answer is no. Neither. I can't stand. Those are my three of my top four least liked things in this world, animal-wise. Yeah, well, I'm not gonna put you with bees. I got bees maybe number five, Harry. Okay, so what's your top five? Uh in no particular order. Mice slash rats. Can't stand either one. Rats. The animal and human belong in the same place. Bottom of the river. Snakes. Spiders. Cockroaches. Bees. Bees slash wasp.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:The yellow plug-in yellow insect. Yep. I get it. Mice. All of them like just scare. Like bees don't just jump out, or wasps don't just jump out and scare you. Right. Unless you go into your the your deer stand. Then there's a nest. But nope. Spiders come out of nowhere, scare you. Mice will scare you. Snakes, shoot one in the face. Snakes don't freak me out. It's the uncertainty of what kind of snake it is that freaks me out. That's what scares me. Yeah, imagine sitting in your pop-up deer blind randomly, and uh you got your bag wide open, you got your machete sitting next to you, and you might have a trusty 30 out of six. You're looking for a deer. Something catches your eye and you look down, and there's like a foot, foot and a half long brown snake just going through your ground blind. I don't know what kind of snake that was. I looked away for a second to grab my machete and it's gone. And ground blind was upside down, and I was out of my chair. Well, I don't I don't like any of that. No, not whatsoever. No, thank you, please. All right, so Harry, what are you going? Snakes, mice, or spiders? Um I mean, snakes, and I take snakes too. They don't bother me. So as long as they're not like venomous or poisonous, fine. Now the table's turned, now that gets removed, and now I'm left with spiders or mice. I'm I'll take in spiders all day. I'll take spiders. Okay, I can see that. Because what I'm thinking, as long as I know that they won't, even if they can like bite and whatever, as long as I know I can't die, I think I'll I think I'd be fine. That makes sense. Yeah, as long as I I know I can't die, but also my turn is Spider-Man. You might turn into Spider-Man, buddy. We're gonna move on to our next segment called Hooked on a Post. Our social media team will put out posts on all our socials: Facebook, Instagram, the old TikTok. And we take your comments from all of them, we put them together and we talk about it this week for our inaugural, our first annual, if you will. We have people's Mount Rushmore of Sandwiches. My Mt. Rushmore would have to be Philly cheesesteak. Oh, good choice. Grilled cheese. Now, grilled cheese is a solid, solid Mount Rushmore sandwich. French dip, which I know is just a hot cheesesteak or just a different cheesesteak. Yeah, kind of, yep. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hot roast beef sandwich over French dip. Kind of the same thing. Not really. Same, same thing but different. Same thing but different. And that fourth one, I don't know. Chipwich. Oh, yeah. Chipwich. You're talking summertime getting out of the pool. Ham. Summer.
unknown:Okay.
SPEAKER_01:Winter?
unknown:Fall?
SPEAKER_01:Winter. Autumn? The Chinese New Year? I'm eating a chipwitch, buddy. Yeah. Dude, some sour cream and onion. I'm on a sandwich. Gives that actual little flair. I'm talking about chipwitches. The ice cream sandwich. Oh, the ice cream sandwich chipwich. Yeah. What are you talking? Oh, you're thinking about a sandwich with chips? I was like, that's I was thinking you're talking ham and cheese with some chips on it. Oh, dude. That's why I was like, what are you talking about? Sour cream and onion. Yeah. Uh yeah, my favorite ice cream, sour cream and onion. That's what I was like, all right. Yeah, I get what you're saying. It's sandwiches, dude. What is your Mount Rushmore? So before I get into mine, I'm going to give you a little look into what our social media has. Social media director has handed this to me. So one person, I believe their name is Ick I C K 5093, cheese steak, Italian hoagie, a meatball hoagie, roast beef and cheese. Now, the old meatball. I don't know if you can hear me exhaling there. That's good. That's a good one. Didn't even think about that one. But now we got, I don't even know how to say your name. Human colis. A Monte Cristo. A chicken parm sub. Okay. PBJ. Breakfast sandwich. Well, what breakfast sandwich? There's 2,000. I'm replying to them right now. I'm going to reply. Like, cause I love a McGriddle. It wouldn't be if if if like there was my Mount Rushmore and then like a very small statue off to the side that no one knew about, that's where I would put McRiddle. Because that's how much I love it, but not enough to put it up there. No, no, no, no. I would pay for the McRiddle statue out of my own pocket. I wouldn't use taxpayer money. That's for me. That's for me. I uh as our listeners might know I'm very indecisive because I can't have a top four. I have like a top 12 that consists of 20 sandwiches because I love sandwiches. But somebody else said the a Cuban, a BLT, a spicy chicken, and a steak. Just steak. Make steak sandwich. Cheesesteak. Somebody said PBJ with banana. I'm sorry there. Chris with the shrugging emoji is your name. A cold cut trio from Subway. It doesn't even say from Subway, but I know cold cut trio means Subway. A double cheeseburger, pretty good. But I believe Chris shoulder shrug emoji, blue shirt, may have the best sandwich put on Mount Rushmore. Go on. Knuckle. Oh, that's beautiful. I didn't even think about it, right? Chris, that's a work of art, sir. Ruben, the Bon Me. Multiple people put Bon Me, and so I had to uh have our social media team be like, can you reach out and ask them what that means? Yeah, I don't know what that means. And uh it's a Vietnamese style sandwich. Okay. So I'm intrigued by that. I can have a Mount Rushmore just breakfast sandwiches. Yes. Uh Wawa Sizzley bacon. I'm sorry, the uh the bagel with pork roll egg and cheese. Number one. Number two would be a bagel with scrapple egg and cheese. See where we're going here. Number three would be English muffin sausage patty egg and cheese. Basically, an egg McMuffin with sausage. But we're not here just for breakfast. Harry, through much debate, I think I've decided. Coming in from fourth place, I have uh the classic cheesesteak. Oh, okay. Proud of you. Pepper, provolone wit. Number three. PBJ. Okay, I just I was never the biggest fan. Yeah, I I love it. Uh, we were re-watching an old season of Big Brother, and they're like, oh, your punishment this week is eat peanut butter and jelly. And I'm like, all right. Well, you're punishing me with peanut butter and jelly. Number two, Italian hoagie. Anybody who knows me can figure this whole list out. That's a great pick. I love an Italian hoagie. Now for the last one, I would almost want to put a scrapple, egg and cheese on a bagel. Number one. Meatball is up there. A Reuben, a Cuban, just corned beef with some sauerkraut on it. But Harry, we are going basic. We're going simple. We're going ice cream sandwich. It doesn't, not even the chip witch ones. I'm talking like the long rectangle ones you get at Walmart, a box of 12 for 250. That doesn't even last two and a half minutes in my house. Ice cream sandwich, not only is on the Mount Rushmore, is the greatest sandwich ever made. Think about it. Think about it. You want a PBJ? Nah, I'm full. Do you want a second cheesesteak? No, I'm full. Do you want an ice cream sandwich? Yes, the answer is always yes. Which tells you that it is the greatest sandwich ever made. It's a great sandwich. As I look over in my fridge inside the studio, AK Garage, there are none in there anymore. So someone did comment, and I thought this was kind of funny. Uh, the lack of grilled cheese is alarming. Which I agree, there is a lack. And then I'm sorry, Nick. Only if it's cooked on the radiator. Is that a reference? Sopranos reference. No idea what I'm talking about. Uh it's a prison thing. I have also never been to prison. Well, after your second time there, you realize you bring your own wax paper in there, and then uh your craft singles don't stick to the radiator as well. Little tips, tricks of the trade. Also learned uh how much do you know about prison food? Well, Harry, let me let me let you in and our listeners in. For our final segment of How Do I Know That Much? Uh, during my last deployment several years ago, we used to have what was called Surf and Turf Sunday. Oh, okay. Sounds delish. Where our superintendents would grill steaks and then uh the chow hall would either have lobster tail or like some kind of shrimp. So fried shrimp. Fried shrimp is okay. Uh lobster tail is not what you're thinking, it's not a main lobster. It is a uh swamp by you crick lobster. Okay. What does that mean? That uh small and rubbery. Okay, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh and then my superintendent, good buddy of mine, was grilling. And uh he was, hey, man, how do you want your steak? It said medium rare. He's like, oof, we have to cook them all medium. And then he texts me a picture of the box that the steaks came in. The steaks all came in a box. And then on the side it says for military and prison use only. No way. Yeah. 100%. So you go to the dining facility, you got your plastic forks, knives, all that. I remember we go to cut into it. And when they say like shoe leather, like, you know, it's a rough steak. Everybody's plastic knives kept snapping as you're trying to cut it. You just hear snap, snap, snap, snap, snap. So in maintenance, we're not allowed to carry our own personal tools when you're working on aircraft.

You're like, yeah, that's how I know about prison food, Harry. We can serve the same stuff. That's insane. It's awesome. It just it prepares us. Have you ever had a sandwich so bad like you remember it? No. No. Have I had a bad sandwich? I mean, I've had the only sandwich I don't I think I've never finished was uh I'm not gonna say the restaurant, because I hope they sponsor us one day and it's not their fault. Um, but they labeled it a they didn't even call it a Philly cheesesteak. They said it's their their brand cheesesteak. And it's like, oh, our take on a cheesesteak. And they wish us. I don't know if like it tasted like they used the cheesesteak meat. To clean the grill. Yeah. And then chopped it up and put it on battle. That's a good idea. So it was not good at all. But yeah, I think that's uh I didn't finish that sandwich. I've had some not great ones from the underground metro transportation system sandwich place. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've had bad sandwiches, but I've had enough good sandwich in my life to kind of like repress those memories.

And I'm going to tell you everything about the day. But it's repressed right now. The thought of it is like a prisoner in my mind right now. Like it wants to escape, but I'm not going to let it escape. Okay, please prison food. That is wild. Yeah. I've had a lot of really good sandwiches. I had some really bad steaks. You know, I got asked uh Sabrina's mom does a birthday dinner. Yeah, everybody gets together for your birthday, right? You pick a Sunday close to your birthday before or after. What are you gonna do? And the one year like, hey, hey, Paul, what do you want for your birthday dinner? I said, sandwich. And they all laughed. They went, ha ha ha ha, what do you want? And I said, I want a sandwich. And so Sabrana and her mom went out and they got different types of bread, different types of rolls, a whole bunch of lunch meat, put it on the island, and said, have at it, folks. And that is how my birthday was. My birthday dinner was everybody making themselves lunch meat sandwiches. Fresh mayo, dude. I'm so hungry. That's honorable mention. Like I need like three honorable mention Mount Rushmores because like there's so many good sandwiches out there. I definitely want a sandwich. You have managed to hide 11 songs in this episode.
