#92 - I JUST THOUGHT YOU LIKED TATERS
A Tuesday baby class turns into the most wholesome date night tradition, complete with diner croquettes, coupon hauls, and a server who “just thought you liked taters.” From there, we open the floodgates: shoutouts to new listeners, a fresh garage studio reveal, garden wins with heirloom tomatoes and a mountain of jalapeños, and a nostalgic Friday Night Lights binge that raises the eternal question—are the Panthers going to state?
Then we go full sports brain. We celebrate the best to wear 92—Michael Strahan’s relentlessness, James Harrison’s menace, and the Minister of Defense himself, Reggie White, with the legendary “This is God” voicemail from Mike Holmgren’s recruitment. We wander through the rare 92s in the NBA and MLB quirks like Génesis Cabrera’s number dedication. On the NASCAR front, we look back at the 92 car’s surprising legacy, recap Vegas strategy and emotions around Denny Hamlin’s win, and swing forward into a Talladega preview with our weekly picks and playoff implications. It’s the mix we love: stats, stories, and the little human edges that decide results.
Heart shows up too. Golden Trouts go to the people building a beautiful baby shower and to John Cena for paying tribute to Bray Wyatt in a moment that lit the arena like fireflies. And yes, we finally launch our Thanksgiving pie bracket: apple crushes cranberry cheesecake, pecan cruises, lemon meringue advances, and cherry edges derby pie. Expect arguments, recipes, and a promise—we’ll bake the champion. For dessert, Weird News serves a bear casually shopping produce in Arizona, 426 fist bumps in 30 seconds, and a scrapple sculpture of the Eagles’ tush push that would make Philly proud.

Tuesday night's baby class for Ange and I. We go, it's a program, it's beautiful. It teaches us things we may not know. Some things are pretty obvious, some things aren't, right? It's a free class. It's on Tuesdays, and we've decided to make it a date night. Oh, good idea. We go out to dinner and then we go to baby class. And what's really cool is every class we go to, we get coupons, and then we can redeem them in the little boutique that they have there on baby stuff. We have not spent a dime because, like, if you save all your money, then you can get something big, right? Big rain big. Right, right. Makes sense. All this makes sense. All this to say, we found a little diner by class, and we absolutely adore it. I got chicken croquettes. Now, I know apparently not everyone knows what a chicken croquette is. And to that, I'm sorry, it's uh I'm trying to describe it without making it sound gross, but it's a ball of chicken, bread, and deep fried, and it's delicious.
SPEAKER_00:Normally served over rice, mashed potatoes. Or mashed potatoes. Normally served over mashed potatoes.
SPEAKER_01:Right, with the gravy and the whole shebang. Oh, yeah, with all of it. That is a chicken croquette meal. If you don't think you've ever even seen it, look at the senior section. I guarantee you they're there. Oh yeah. Old people love the croquettes. So it comes with mashed potatoes. I get two vegetables. I go, corn fritter, corn fritters. You're not gonna nod. And then I go ash potatoes. And I look at the waitress and like nod, and she goes, Yeah. She just goes, Do you want them with gravy? And I was like, Yeah, gravy on everything. So then I get my food. First thing down is the croquettes, or I'm sorry, the uh corn nuggets.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, corn nuggets. I'm excited, dude. They're looking great.
SPEAKER_01:I'm upset because there's only like five, but anyway. And then the next thing that gets sat down is a plate of mashed potatoes and gravy. I said, okay, that's weird. Normally they put them together, whatever. Yeah. And then the third thing that gets set down is a plate with mashed potatoes, gravy, and the chicken croquettes. Which then I go, I don't really want those other potatoes. And it wasn't our waitress who brought us our food. And she goes, Do you want a to-go bag then to put them away? And I said, Sure, man. I I guess I'm not gonna waste my money. And then the server comes over and she goes, Hey, what's going on? And I was like, I didn't, I didn't mean to order two mashed potatoes. She goes, and I quote, this is her exact quote. I just thought you liked taters.
SPEAKER_00:This woman looked at me and saw me order two helpings of mashed potatoes and went, yeah, it seems to fit it. Yeah, I just thought you liked them taters.
SPEAKER_01:And it what I'm I'm not kidding. She said taters. And I was like, you know what, ma'am? I so yeah, I brought up brought I brought the taters home because I don't need seven helpings of them. No.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I just have the croquettes. Uh amazing.
SPEAKER_01:I tried to bring them home and just threw them out at the uh baby class, so that was fun. The the smell, and she has a big thing with smells right now, and the smell filled the car, and she did not appreciate that at all.
SPEAKER_00:Nah, yeah, it's a pregnant woman thing. I get it. Yeah, yeah. She lost her dinner at the smell of mine. Yeah, makes sense. So I I said, okay, you can throw them out.
SPEAKER_01:Hello, friends, and welcome back to another episode of the Trout Stream. I am Harry Troutman, and with me is someone whose name is not Jimmy Crackcorn. I am Paul Troutman. So pick up a poll, cast the line, and join us on the stream. Today, on episode 92, we will discuss our favorite athletes to wear 92, hand out some golden trouts and eels of the week, continue, start our favorite Thanksgiving pie bracket. And of course, much, much more. Paul, friends, old listeners, new listeners, everyone.
SPEAKER_00:Welcome to episode 92. Welcome to the Trout Stream. 92, Harry, just like our favorite element, uranium. This is exciting. Not only can a little bit of uranium power a lot of things, the right amount of trout stream can power you through your entire week.
SPEAKER_01:As always, before we get started, I want to give a huge shout out to some previous listeners coming in from Orlando, Florida.
SPEAKER_00:I don't believe we did. How about good old Boston? No, Boston. Oh man, we got Boston Tea Party in here. We got Orlando. That sounds like somebody we know. Who lives down in Orlando? Mickey Mouse. The old Mouse. And a little Dell's Tejas. Now I'm thinking Mickey Mouse had to jump on and listen to the stream because he heard we were talking about his cousin, Charles. Entertainment cheese. Charles Entertainment. So Mickey's like, I'm not gonna be outdone. He was making sure, you know, we're not like some mouse exterminator. You know what I mean? He's like, oh, maybe maybe they got something in it for the mice. We don't, Mick. Calm down. Yeah. Hey, hey, yo, Mick. Hey, hey, hey, Mick. Hey. Ooh, this guy over here, huh? How was your weekend? My weekend was great. What did I do? I had a three-day weekend. Ooh. So it was really, really, really nice. Saturday and Sunday hung out with a fam. Went to a little pumpkin patch, a little a pumpkin patch. My family and Sabrina's best friend and her family, all of us got to kind of got together. Went to a pumpkin patch in Marshall, Texas. Little Tejas. That's when I passed the town of Winona for like the thousandth time and thought of my latest TikTok post. I'm not going to ruin anything. You need to go to TikTok and read it because it's hilarious. Sunday, we just chilled out. Monday. Harry, Monday was a holiday. Monday I was off. You were? So Sabrina was not. The girls were not. So Sabrina went to work. I took girls to school. I came home and I did what every man does on his day off. I cut the grass. But I took my time. Okay. My yard is not huge, but it took me two and a half hours. Yeah, that's that's rough. I took care of business, though. I edged. And then I mow. Well, I edge, weed whack, then mow. Okay.
SPEAKER_01:Okay.
SPEAKER_00:Right. You know what I'm saying? Because I have a mulching lawn mower, so it picks up everything. They did in the front yard. And then I moved to the backyard. And while I was back there, I mowed and I got to go around this the kids' toys and the swing sets and stuff that's not movable. Cut the grass. Trimmed. I pruned my garden. As a matter of fact, it's only taking eight months, but my tomatoes are finally sprouting. Fruit. Welcome to the show, buddy. Yeah, down here in uh northwest Louisiana, and I have Brandywine Heirloom Tomatoes finally growing tomatoes. Yes, folks, I have Pennsylvania tomatoes down here in Louisiana. I thought they were lost for this season, bud. They were not lost for this season. Two of my four died. Right. I almost I almost gave up hope, right? Yeah, yeah. This is hold on. This is serious. Like we both, I mean, you've been doing it longer than I have, but we uh we tried starting a garden this year. Like, this is this is very, very exciting stuff for me. It's exciting news. Uh I started pruning and then realizing as in on pruning, I'm finding them on the back side. Okay. Yeah. And my Cherokee purple and my Brandywine heirlooms have kind of intertwined with each other. So I thought it was just a Cherokee purple. So I look at it and you can instinctively tell it's a Brandywine heirloom. If you look at it, you can definitely tell it's different. So I got to prune that. And then I've also harvested probably 35,000 jalapenos in the last three weeks. So that's oh, I mean, what do you mean to do with that, man? I give them away. I want to I really want to make some salsa or some uh they call it cowboy candy, pickle them and stuff. But Harry, that was just the first part. The second part was Sabrina came home early from work, and we binged watch Friday Night Lights. We got into the TV show. Uh, I love it. Vaguely remembered season one. We binged watched, we finished season one. I looked at her and I was like, you know what's next, girl? Click season two starts. Season two. And so, like a crack fiend, I've been itching, waiting for my kids to go to bed early the rest of the week, going, hey, you know, we're partway through season two. When are we gonna finish that thing? Are the Dylan Panthers going to state or what? Spoil alert, do not spoil it for me. But that's it, Harry. I'm very fortunate, man, to have a three-day weekend. What did you do this weekend, Harry? I have officially set up the brand new Studio T studio. Folks, it is alive and well. I still have some decorating to do.
SPEAKER_01:I still have some stuff to move from the upstairs to the garage. I like it down here, dude. I'm not gonna lie. The only thing that's weird is uh I gotta get some curtains for this open window behind me. It's a little creepy, I'm not gonna lie. I feel like I'm glad I can see it on screen.
SPEAKER_00:No, that's really good. Yeah. Welcome to uh the the garage studio. Yeah, because this is who we are. This is who we are. I do uh I do have some flags I want to put up and keep an eye on the marketplace. You never know what's gonna turn up. No, I took your advice, and I did go to marketplace today, and I clicked on the search free. Found a bunch of cool stuff, but obviously nothing I'm gonna pull the trigger on. Yeah, I um my accountant said no more marketplace, so I can't spend any money on marketplace. Correct. So, you know, I'm I'm gonna work with that. I remember Harry's helpful hint from episode 91. And I use that to my advantage, which was you don't spend money on marketplace if it's priced at free. No, exactly. I mean, come on, dude. 20 solid oak church benches free. Yeah, I kind of want those. Solid oak church benches, you know, they're good. You know what you can do with those? You can have a lot of people sit down at the same time. You know what, buddy? You are not wrong.
SPEAKER_01:You were wrong this past weekend on your pick, however. So I will go first with our favorite athletes to wear 92.
SPEAKER_00:He was the first player to play for a division uh in our division for the New York football giants. Ah, yes, yes, I remember them.
SPEAKER_01:And I when he got a sack, I did not for some reason didn't bother me that much because I like this guy.
SPEAKER_00:He is now the host of Good Morning America, Michael Strahan. That's a solid choice. And we don't have the same affection for him because he made me angry at how good he was. And he played for the New York Football Giants. And anytime a New York team won a championship, it killed me.
SPEAKER_01:I just I think, yeah, if any other giant did anything, it it really it really rubbed me the wrong way. But Michael Strahan getting a sack or you know, a stop at the line of scrimmage, eh. All right, cool.
SPEAKER_00:He was really good. Now we'll go to the next play. I believe that his record, uh 22 and a half sacks in a single season, is inflated due to Brent Farf. Yes. Agreed. But respectable, very respectable player. Harry, what side of the ball did Michael Straham play on? Offense or defense? He was a defensive lineman. That's right. Defensive lineman, defensive, and 92 is primarily a defensive number, and I have two. I have two this week. First one coming from the wrong side of the state, wrong side of Pennsylvania, from the west side, 92. I believe, without fact-checking, I haven't looked this up yet. I believe may have the longest pick six in Super Bowl history. I know for a fact I lost a dollar on that play. We uh that Super Bowl, it was me and my buddy sat around and we would throw a dollar on the table, like six of us, and we were called a play. Run left, run right, run middle, pass left, pass right, pass middle. Little dollar bet? I said touchdown pass to the left. I was wrong, but I was also right. Lost my dollar. Actually, we all got our dollars back because it was a turnover. Scary man, James Harrison. Scary train. That's a great way to put it. He's still scary. Yeah, never not a scary man. Yeah, uh, if I were to meet him now and he's not a player, I probably would still wet my pants. Yeah, Dark Alley. Um, yeah, no. No thanks. I'm good. I'm extending my hand to shake his, and I know he's gonna break mine because he's a monster of a man. Oh no, I'm not extending my hand. I'm turning around and running.
SPEAKER_01:And you might be saying, Harry, what if it's a dead end alley?
SPEAKER_00:I'm running into the wall face first because it's gonna hurt less than what he will do to me. You were absolutely right. I mean, he was a monster on defense. Now, speaking of monsters on defense, Harry, I got one more 92. On defense, it kind of rings a bell. It kind of reminds me of somebody saying Minister of Defense. No, that is not a parliament position in the United Kingdom that is the greatest defensive player to ever step foot on an NFL field. Number 92 in the roster, forever will be number 91 in my heart. The only jersey, I shouldn't say only, the first jersey I've ever thought about buying for a team that wasn't the Eagles was a number 92. Mike Holmgram is dirty for how he got this man to leave and go to Green Bay, the Minister of Defense, the one, the only, Reggie White. And for those who don't know, what is the story about how he got Reggie to leave? Mike Holgrum called Reggie's home, left him an uh message on his answer machine. Now, this is mid-92, 93 area, 95, early 90s. Folks, before cell phones, and when people had answering machines, that sometimes was a little cassette tape. Free agency is a new thing. Mike Holmgram, head coach of the Green Bay Packers, calls Reggie White's house. And he says, Reggie, this is God speaking. Oh man. Sign with the Green Bay Packers. And he hung up. No, that's terrible. Reggie got the nickname Minister of Defense because he was a deacon. He was a minister. Reggie was one of the most religious members in NFL history. However, when he strapped on the helmet, he didn't curse, he didn't say anything bad, but he would lay you out. He had moves on defensive as defensive end. He was throwing grown men, 300 pounds, offensive linemen, throwing them one-handed. As a matter of fact, Chris Carter just came out saying that NFL needs to update their stats, and he needs to be either given a half a sack or given credit for a full sack because Reggie White picked up a wide receiver, grown man, Chris Carter, and threw him at a quarterback, and a quarterback fell down. That's a sack. Reggie didn't touch the quarterback. Well, he wound up tapping a quarterback on the shoulder saying you're down. But he grabbed a grown man and threw him at a quarterback. Yeah, that's that's football, baby. But Reggie White was the nicest guy in the world. I bought a uh, so I have a bad habit. I shouldn't say habit. I have a uh I'm very superstitious when it comes to jerseys. I won't go in depth. I'll maybe explain more next week. All the jerseys I have bought in my life, and when I wear them, if they're an active player, they get season-ending injuries that game.
unknown:Oh.
SPEAKER_00:So this is why I don't buy new jerseys. I don't, so I bought Reggie White. Is that why there's all those Dallas Cowboy jerseys in your closet? 100%. Yeah, yeah. Those guys go out for a while. You know what I'm saying? I saw that Lamb jersey. Yeah. Uh I had a so I bought a Reggie White shortly after he passed away. And then when I was in Portugal, somebody decided that they wanted it a lot more than I did, and they took it out of the backseat in my car. Atrocious. That's my 92s. I really have a lot more, but I will not give anybody else credit at Reggie White. You know, I love him. I do love and respect that.
SPEAKER_01:Two players have worn 92 in NBA history at Deshaun Stevenson and Lucas. Ho ho. Buddy, I might need help on this one because let's just say, if I mispronounce this, we can get canceled very quickly.
SPEAKER_00:Nagaria. Yeah. Oh, I remember Lucas Nagaria. Uh, what is he? What did he supply? Like 18 or something like that? 15 to 18. About three years. Yeah, I remember him. I'm gonna be honest. We I I looked that one up this week. Uh I probably should have gone to Google and be like, hey, how do you say this name? So, you know, my podcast doesn't get flagged. But also, I I got you on this one, Deshaun Stevenson, he was on that 2011 Mavs team that won the championship, and he wore 92. Yeah. How do you know that? I just know that. If I can replace all my sports, movie, and music knowledge with anything else, Harry, I could cure cancer on Mars. Yeah, that's impressive, dude. I'm not gonna lie. So I see your two players in the NBA. Harry, take that number. Times by six. Add one. Give me a square root sign. Square that up. 13 players in MLB history have worn the number 92. Oh! The first one, I'll give you a quick stab. When do you think the first one was? 92? Close. 92 is.
SPEAKER_01:No, that's not my guess. I was saying the number out loud.
SPEAKER_00:I'm gonna say 2008. Oh, 2008. You should have stuck with 92 because the first year was 2020. Folks, I tell you, baseball is the oldest sport in America, I believe, out of the top four. You know, the main four. Uh first one was in 2020, 92. How about our guy? Genesis Cabrera, he wore the number 92 for four teams in one season, and that was this season, the 2025 season. He wore for the Cubs, the Twins, the Mets, and the Pirates. He's committed to that number. He's committed to the 92. Has to be. He might be like, obviously, we got the minister. We got straight hand, but he might be one of the 92s we post this week. Izzy. I'm gonna make a special quad chart. If I can find a picture from him wearing each jersey this past year, absolutely. Genesis Cabrera will be up. I wonder if he's related to Miguel. I wonder. I don't know. Now, let's get into everybody's favorite part. NFL draft picks. We'll go uh newest to oldest this year, Harry. Because why not, right? I said this year, this episode. 2012, the Indianapolis Colts selected. Number 92 overall selection, T.Y. Hilton. Stud receiver. Stud. God, nasty stud. Him and Andrew Luck. Nasty. It's almost as nasty as Joe Flacco and Jamar Chase. Nasty. But speaking of the icy hot bowl, Harry, let's go back to 1998. Let's go back to the 92nd overall draft pick. New York City's cheering. Pittsburgh Steelers select Heinz Ward. Arguably the greatest receiver in their franchise history will select it 92nd overall.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, that's I think one of the reasons why I love the draft so much is because you don't know when you're getting a Heinz Ward. You don't know when you're, you know what I mean? Right. You don't know why Yeah, you know who's going to top 25. You know who's going top 30, 40, 50, whatever. Whatever that number is, people are confident in. You know who's going. But then, like I said, do you get the that 92nd pick? You're not sure at 92nd if this person's any good.
SPEAKER_00:Because if they were, they'd go in the top 10. Right. You don't know who they are. Sometimes top 20 is wrong. 2020 draft Jalen Reger going before Justin Jefferson. But in 98, the 92nd overall pick going to Heinz Ward, the Pittsburgh, and then him doing what he did, and then somehow trying to help Batman, I believe, in that movie series. I don't know if he helped him or not. No, he he was running for a touchdown, and the stadium was falling in behind him. He's running for his life for a touchdown. I don't exactly remember.
SPEAKER_01:One thing I'm not good at about our show is, you know, moments things happen, right?
SPEAKER_00:And I'm not exactly sure when we decided to start hiding album track sets in our episode. Song titles. Yeah, I don't remember exactly when. But we had something we did two weeks ago. We had 34.
SPEAKER_01:34. 34 Garth Brook Garth Brooks songs. Hidden in an episode. And look, man, it's uh the number one album from '92, and the highest selling album are also Garth Brooks. Yeah. We're not hiding them this week. With that, the 92nd highest selling album in the U.S., Garth Brooks The Chase. Good album. The 92nd Billboard Top 100 songs, Dilemma, Nelly featuring Kelly Rowind. The 92nd highest movie, Venom. Good choice. Good choice.
SPEAKER_00:Then the number one album from 1992, Garth Brooks Rope in the Wind. Another good album. I'm pretty sure mom owned all of them. There's no guessing. She did. What are the chances, though? The 92nd highest selling album, Garth Brooks, and the 92nd and the number one album in 1992 were also Garth Brooks. Yeah, two separate albums, but both by the same artist. In that time frame, from uh I'm gonna go broad here, 1990 to 2000. I don't believe there was probably a higher-selling country artist. But now, Dilemma. Nelly featuring Kelly Rowan from Destiny's Child. I believe that's the music video where she got upset that Nelly was not returning her text messages back when she was trying to text him via Excel on her sidekick phone. That is very true.
SPEAKER_01:Another explanation, real quick. Uh when I Google 90, you know, when I Google celebrities, I'll put in 85-year-old and it will all autofill celebrities. Right? Or 80-something year old athletes or actresses, whatever. Well, we're starting to get to the to the to the age of uh I was Googling and I put in 92-year-old, and now it's just saying person.
SPEAKER_00:Just person.
SPEAKER_01:So we are running out of old celebrities, but not quite yet. Not yet. We got Tom Scarrot, Ellen Bernston. Uh Burston. Man, I don't get paid to say last names. No, she was uh the old lady in Interstellar in the bed at the end. Never seen it. This one gets me because I thought he'd passed away years ago. Sir Michael Cain is 92.
SPEAKER_00:Michael Cain? Yeah. Oh no, I would know if Michael Cain something happened to him because we'll talk about him in a second.
SPEAKER_01:Uh Carol Burnett of the Carol Burnett show. She's 93.
SPEAKER_00:She's still around. Yes. Yoko Ono. Okay. We could do without, but alright. Honestly, honestly, I was saving her before the end just to see your reaction on her. Yeah. She ruined the Beatles. And last but certainly not least, this one was surprising. Willie Nelson. Willie, Michael Cain are the same age. I have Michael Cain on my high regards list because when he did Muppets Christmas Carol, he treated the Muppets as actors. He treated them as regular actors. I believe is an argument. Muppet Christmas Carol is the best Muppet movie, in my opinion. Okay. Okay. Muppet Treasure Island is close second. But because I love Michael Cain, the way he reacted, how Michael Cain acted with the Muppets was hands down the best thing in the world. Tim Curry made himself a Muppet. Michael Caine treated the Muppets as regular actors. Perfection. Michael Cain. I can't name one bad movie he's been in. Me neither. You need to watch Dirty Rotten Scandrels. Yes, I have not seen it. Scoundrels, scandrels, scoundrels, one of those, however you pronounce it. Him, Steve Martin. Phenomenal movie. It's from like the early 90s. Sabrina told me about it. We watched it together. I fell in love with it. Where has it been my whole life?
SPEAKER_01:The list for celebrities who have passed at 92 is actually small. There's not many. Oh, good. I'm honestly just gonna go with the top three.
SPEAKER_00:You got Barbara Bush. President Bush, your first one, yeah. Rosa Parks, Jerry Stiller.
SPEAKER_01:I'm laughing because put those three names together real quick. Rosa Parks, Jerry Stiller, Barbara Bush. If I were to hand you that list of those three people, I'm gonna go, what do you these three people have in common?
SPEAKER_00:I'm pretty sure the only thing you're legally allowed to say is they all breathe oxygen.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Because these three people could not be any more different.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, they're all from oh my god, completely different. That's what's so hilarious. But no, they all passed away at 92 years old.
SPEAKER_01:NASCAR 92. Bringing it all back in. The 92 car in NASCAR, buddy. 496 races. 43 wins. Oh okay. 42 of them by a guy by the name of Herb Thomas.
SPEAKER_00:Now, if you had to guess what era Herb is from, what would you say? I'm gonna do a little backtracking here. Dave Thomas was the founder of Wendy's. His dad sounds like it'd be Herb, right? So he was seizing his buns just right. He is gonna be from the 1949, 1950 season in NASCAR. He is 49, is when he started.
SPEAKER_01:It's disgusting. Oh my god. He started in 49 and raced till 60, 1962. Yeah. Yeah. You and your Dave Thomas. Well, the reason I'm so excited, I wish you would have said 1953 because that is the year. Good old Herb won the championship.
SPEAKER_00:Herbie. I think it's been a while since we had a championship-winning car, bud. It well first off, if you'd have told me that the 92 car won it a championship, I wouldn't believe you. 43 wins, unrealistic. It's been a while since we've had a number this high win a championship. Because if you had told me there was a car in the 90s, 92 is not the one I would have thought of. No. No, and I'm sorry, I misspoke.
SPEAKER_01:Because he also won it in 1951. So 51, 51, 52, he came in second. 53 came in first. 54, he came in second. Herb. NASCAR Hall of Fame. Where are you?
SPEAKER_00:Herbie. Herbie is up there dominating that era. Get out of town. The Grand Nationals era. I don't think he ever got the race at Vegas. I don't even think Vegas was around yet. But we got to enjoy a Vegas race this past weekend. Ooh, we did. I, of course, went with the Hendricks. Number five, and you went with the I went with the Penske 22.
SPEAKER_01:Obviously, earlier in the show, you heard it. I let off my pick'ems. I came in second. You were in top eight, top seven. I was top, I think it was top eight. Uh there was a caution there with 21, 22 to go. You were actually in front, but you only took two tires on the pit stop. I took four. I ended up taking second place so close to the win. Congrats to Denny Hamlin, which is not something we will say on this show very often, but uh very emotional win for him. Very happy for him. He was not his typical Denny self. And it's nice when people, you know, be in your villain arc all you want and be the bad guy. But it's also I I respect that.
SPEAKER_00:But also, it was nice to see him turn it off and be a human being. 1000%. For that, I say congratulations, Denny Hamlin. Yeah, huge, huge fan of the way he was. And honestly, I don't know what happened. I'm not a Denny fan. I'm not a super fan. I'm not gonna go buy his gear. No. Uh, probably because our our stuff isn't on his car yet. But also, I'm not mad. No. Um, you know, that's his business.
SPEAKER_01:It's uh, and that's the reason why he was uh emotional after the win, and and I respect it, and that's all I'm gonna say about that. But we're moving.
SPEAKER_00:We are moving on. We were out west. We're going down south, baby. We're going to Dega. Men. Seven hours from here. You're only seven hours from Dega. Yes, sir. And you've never been to a race? Not yet.
SPEAKER_01:Talladega, is it worth it? Now, hear me out. You like cold ones, and I get that. And you know, I I I I not my cup of tea, but we're not who we used to be either, to go and truly enjoy a Talladega week.
SPEAKER_00:Right. I don't think we're in the game anymore enough to enjoy a Talladega weekend. I'm not as young as I once was. Yeah, exactly. But that is where we are headed this weekend. It is a super speedway. I'm very excited. Break, break, you alright? No, I'm good. Good. I was getting uh stats ready for bracket.
SPEAKER_01:You never get distracted, and I was like, what the fuck? Talodega, here we go.
SPEAKER_00:I go first. I'm gonna go with the Penske 22. Good call. Joey Logano is making a late surge here. Penske usually makes a great surge here at the end. The round of eight, we're getting to the round of four. All we got is Talodega in Martinsville. Joey makes it to Martinsville, not in the final four. I don't believe he makes to the final four, so Tal Dega, he needs it. Speaking about needing it, there's a guy. If you need somebody to win the race, a super speedway race, by less than a fraction of a second, it's this guy right here, who I'm gonna take. I see you're 22. Subtract 10, Penske team, number 12, Ryan Blaney. Give me the Y R B. Young Ryan Blaney this week, Harry. I like it. I'm gonna see. I like it. Just for this. Yeah, you're you're you're so much better at the the the long game than I am when it comes to your picks and all that. I just go with my heart, my gut, and you know what? You're the regular season chain for a reason, baby. And if it helps you, I'm gonna tell you who I'm picking next week. Who am I? Yes. I'm gonna tell you who I'm picking next week. Okay. Because I'm feeling that frisky. I haven't picked him at all this entire year. Where are we going next week? At Ortega. Martinsville. Okay. You know what? I don't know. You don't have the answer? I'll hold it till next week. All right. Hold it to next week. Where are we standing points-wise before we move on? All right. So after your big win of you picking Kyle Larson, who had the same amount of points as Race winner Denny Hamlin of 54 last week, you have 235 points. Love it. Love that. 231 points. Don't love that so much. But also, don't forget, I have the nine bonus points for picking Chase Ellie to win at Kansas. He won. So theoretically, I'm sitting at 241 playoff points. I love it, dude. This is why we do this. This is neck and neck, dude. Neck and neck. Really, like out of seven races, what's the closest you can be? Four to three. I have four wins, you have three. Playoffs is where it's at. Playoffs. We're talking about playoffs. Playoffs. Playoffs. Playoffs. You're going for the gold. We don't need playoffs for our gold. We hand out golden trouts for the good. I'm gonna lead it off, buddy. Leadoff hitter. Here we go. I don't want to keep talking about being pregnant. Right. Right. Yeah. This is my first child. I am very excited. You should be. Ange and I went through war to get this baby. But my golden trout goes out to our village. And it's going out especially to Katie and Ange's mom for the absolute amazing baby shower that they're trying to throw Ange. And I cannot wait. It is going to be so great. Spoiler alert. Ange won't hear this episode for a while because we only listen to the show together. She's getting some mission barbecue. And for those who don't know, that was our wedding food. It was so good. I know because I was a guest at your wedding. Yeah, you were invited, actually. Perfection. Yeah. I was invited and I showed up. So the only thing I need to make sure of is that there is dressing for the salad this time because at my wedding there was none.
SPEAKER_01:And you just got to eat dry, crunchy vegetables.
SPEAKER_00:And it was I don't remember that. I don't remember it.
SPEAKER_01:But yeah, um, again, our village. I mean, obviously that's you, that's Sabrina, you know, that's Miss, that's mom, dad, her parents, you know, just everyone's normal village, but especially going out to her mom and Katie for the baby shower. I just I really appreciate it. You know, and as a dude, what's my job at a baby shower? Like I we already talked about my job, obviously. Right.
SPEAKER_00:Come at the end, eat some food, carry stuff out. Got it.
unknown:Right.
SPEAKER_00:Really, if it's not at your house, it's not your job for a baby shower, is meet them in your driveway and take the stuff out of the car into your home. No, it's uh it's at a place. I don't want to say where. Yeah, makes sense. I'm wanting by the FBI. Well, to keep Harry out of trouble, I have one, and it's not gonna be everybody's cup of tea. Oh, okay. I respect it. Uh Harry and I grew up huge wrestling fans. What we were fans when it was WWF. We were there when they transitioned to WWE. Uh, we were there for the attitude era. We were there. I was there before Harry was around, and dad put me in uh leg locks. Pretty much he would put my head between his knees and squeeze until I would cry. It was awesome. Yeah. So the older you get, the more you respect it. The other night, the girls wanted to wrestle, and so I'm putting them in the rock bottom. I'm powerbombing them. Not really choke slam, but I'm picking them up one hand and slamming them onto the couch. Yes. Right? Everything a dad is supposed to do with their kids. Roughly. I am picking my children up over my head gently. I am not powerbombing them like I would you. Right. But I am bringing somewhat force. They still scare me because they're four and two, and almost three. Yeah. So I'm not trying to give them whiplash. But I am Andre the Giant compared to them, and they are Doink the Clown. Okay. Uh Spike Dudley. Spike Dudley, I was thinking Dink the Clown was this smaller clown who's in there. Right. So we have fun. And when we do these moves, and when you and I grew up doing these moves to each other and our friends in the pool across the street with our cardboard belts, we would do somebody's move as a respect to them. Yes. My golden trout goes out to John Cena. Ooh. And you know what? John's got 17 world titles. We've already given him two golden trouts within the last year or so. But this one is very special. Because his latest match against AJ Styles, and yes, it's scripted, but it is real. These dudes blood, sweat, and tears into it, and I think it's it's a male soap opera, so that's why I enjoy it. Keeps me on the edge of my seats. I don't know what's going to happen next. The fact that John Cena used so many people's moves and finishers and styles in his match with AJ Styles. It was his way of tipping the cap, paying respect to them as he's getting ready to retire. So you're on your way out the door. You're going to retire here soon. And you're doing everybody's move. And then he did Bray Wyatt's finisher. And as he did it, the entire audience of what is it, 50,000 fans put their flashlights on their phone, looking like moss, just you know, floating out there in little fireflies. And I thought that was great. You know, just the way the community gets together. And this is a threefold. John Cena paying respect to Bray Wyatt, Bray Wyatt, who passed away, and the community will not let his memory go. I don't get very emotional when it comes to like wrestling and stuff. Right. It's hard. That moment there, I didn't watch it live because we were like the kids I was taking care of. But watching that replay of it, man, it got me. Because I wasn't expecting it. It got me the first time, it got me the second time, because then John looked up and like nodded. And I was like, oh. When I saw that video, it really didn't obviously break me, but it was just like oh man, right. Yeah, it was touching. It was, and that's why it gives a golden trout to me. And I really think it's it's the whole community there. Bray White, who passed away unexpectedly, who was young, right? Just heart conditioned. It happens to people. And then John Cena just tipping the cap. It's huge to me. It was great. It was beautiful. That's it. That's my own my only golden trout this week. I'm gonna get a hold of John, maybe pick him up on the phone, be like, hey man, I gotta send this to you. We are on episode 92, but there's only 42 days, buddy. Until Thangiving. Are you ready to decide what pie we both will be eating?
SPEAKER_01:And we will take pictures and share. Yes. The winner of America's favorite Thanksgiving pie. Buddy, let's get started on this bracket.
SPEAKER_00:Are you ready? Are you ready? I am so ready that I'm knocking stuff over on my desk here because I can't wait. What goes better with Thanksgiving? When you say Thanksgiving, what do you think of pie? Right? I already answered for you. Hey, we have four solid matchups. Oh. We have 16 pies in this round, in this bracket. We probably could have had 37. Right? We know brackets go to 36. We would have played in round. 16 pies. And here we go. Let's go with uh, should we go with the biggest blowout, right? To the tightest matchup. You want to do it this week, Harry? Absolutely. Yeah, that's what I figured. The bottom left region, the cousin Cheryl Champagne region. Because listen, folks, you're gonna see a common theme here. Most Thanksgivings. The adults can't get through it without a little helper. And that helper is what we're gonna name each round. Each quadrant. From the Cousin Cheryl Champagne region, we got Huckleberry pie versus pecan pie. Now, Harry, it depends on where you're from in this nation. Whether it's pecan or pecan. It's weird to me to say pecan because I feel like I gotta, I don't know. It's weird. Yeah, you gotta, you gotta Yeah. I can say pecan, but it's almost like uh some weird bird. Anyway, this one, Harry. It's been a while since we called Stevie Nicks up to play us a song. Put me in, coach. I'm ready to play. This is a landslide 100 to zero. We all know that Huckleberry Pie will not be moving on because pecan pie is moving on to the Elite Eight. Makes sense, right? Yeah, I mean it you know. I I don't I'm gonna be honest, uh and voted. You know, it was submitted, and I didn't know what uh what it was. I really don't know what a pecan is, or I'm sorry, what a huckleberry is. Like the only thing I know about Huckleberry is Doc Holiday said it to somebody who goes, I'm your huggleberry in the movie Tombstone, which you haven't yet to see, so I don't know why I referenced that. Next time we see pecan pie, pecan pie, I'll be going against the winner of strawberry pie versus French silk pie. Anybody who's from where I'm at in the Shreveport Boucher, Northwest Louisiana region, we got a restaurant called Strong's. Strong's Idri, Harry, great breakfast. Actually, you've been there with us. Uh they are known for their strawberry pies. People buy them out leading up to Thanksgiving. Really? Yes, they are that good. I'm not trying to influence anybody. We were in the bottom left. We had our champagne from Cousin Cheryl. Let's move to the top right region. Aunt Marie's martini. She makes a mean martini. You don't really tell her how you want it, shake and stir, dirty or not. She's going to pour it for you. It's not going to be a martini glass. You remember that one year all we had was those short blue solo cups? They were great for martinis. From the top right region, we have cherry pie versus derby pie. I had to do a little research. Luckily, Kate explained it to me where a derby pie is a chocolate, bourbon, pecan pie. Right? So we had two pecan pies in here, but this one has bourbon and chocolate. I'm intrigued. The other one is a song by the band Warrant. Cherry pie. This is close, Harry. This was a tough one. For me personally, both sound amazing. One could be an aftermeal, one could be a nightcap. 28. I checked the math to make sure it equaled 100. This was tough. It was close. Cherry pie is moving on. Are we going to be serious here? I'm not even going to no cliffhanger. But here's where it gets tough. Next time we see cherry pie, I'll be going against the winner of Apple Strusel and Caramel Pie. When I think caramel pie, I assume somebody got a bunch of soft Werthers originals, put them inside of a pie crust, threw that bad boy in the oven at 350 for like 20 minutes and pulled it out. And I would have three helpings for the record. Obviously. I'm just telling you what I think. No, I was saying on the top region, Harry, we're in the top right. Let's move to the top left. Right, top left. We're Uncle Gary's Grasshopper. He's got that grasshopper going. That little mint julep little drink right there, a little thicker than a julep, but it is just right. It reminds me of mint chocolate chip ice cream. But in glass form, also goes well with the blue solo cup. We have everybody's American favorite apple pie. We're going against a lot of people's new inquisitive dessert, the cranberry cheesecake. A lot of people were saying they could try some cranberry cheesecake now. They said they can try. But is it their favorite? But then again, you go with the basic staple. You go with the number one staple. When I say name a pie, first thing that comes to your mind is Apple. Apple every time. Apple, every time. Right. If it wasn't for old Johnny Appleseed, we probably wouldn't have pies, right? Or, you know, just because it's a fruit in front of a pie doesn't mean that the TikTok trolls can come at us. Yeah, I did fend one of those off. Yeah, because if anybody knows anything, Harry and I, we're pie connoisseurs. I do enjoy pie. Yes. But this one here, 91 to 9%. This was uh if 100 to zero is a landslide, this was uh avalanche. I don't know which was what's worse, landslide or avalanche? I think they both kill people, so I think they're both bad. Yeah, they're both terrible. Apple pie is moving on. Yeah, let's be honest.
SPEAKER_01:I actually want to call the the who let the cheesecake in. Cheesecake's its own dessert, it's not a pie.
SPEAKER_00:You know, I was gonna bring that up, but as the uh I meant to bring it up sooner, but my mic was muted for those who really want to know. Harry and I talked about 15 entries, and there was one entry left, and I allowed the cranberry cheesecake to slide in. It wasn't until I uh started to get everything going I said the word cake is in there.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Cake is not a pie. But to those 9% of our voters that voted for it, please, please tell us how it is. Send us your recipe. I'll try and remake it.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, wait, hold on.
SPEAKER_00:We can have other things at the other desserts at Thanksgiving, but we also have to have the winner of said pie. Oh no, I'm saying, like the winner of said pie is go to the winner of this bracket will be enjoyed by both of us. I will be bringing the winner of this bracket to our annual pie night. Did we just make it even more interesting? Are we gonna have I because I understand you have to cook your pie. Yes. I will cook a pie. Okay. I think we have a deal. Whichever one wins, we gotta make. All right. We just did a uh virtual handshake, kind of like Machman and uh Hulk Hogan did. And now, Harry, let's get into the business. Let's get into the heat of it. Let's get ready to rumble from the bottom right region, as we call it, the grandma's bourbon region. Grandma don't mess around, just straight bourbon. If uh if you met either one of our grandmothers, you would know they don't mess around when it comes to holidays. Or just in general, they uh they like their bourbon.
SPEAKER_02:They did.
SPEAKER_00:We have lemon meringue versus strawberry rhubarb pie. I don't know if I've ever had strawberry rhubarb, but I hear it's tart, and I'm not a fan of tart. Oh, I uh I kind of enjoy tart. You know, right, I've been in the mood for it. I don't believe I've had it. I like strawberries. I would lose a spelling B if you told me to spell rhubarb. Apparently, in the word rhubarb, there's two H's. But also, if you asked me to spell meringue, I would not guess there's an I-N-G-U-E anywhere in there. Meringue is M-E-R A-G, meringue. Maybe end somewhere. Lemon versus strawberry, meringue versus rhubarb. Pie versus pie. This is good, Harry. This is where it's at. This is the battle. This is the heat. This is where we had the most tension, right? The tension causes friction. We have some fire. Enough fire, Harry to cook us another pie. 82 to 18. Lemon meringue is moving on. I feel like rhubarb is probably like a niche thing. Yeah, I believe so. I don't know whose niche it is, but not mine. Not again, I'm not a big tart. I'm out on both of these, actually. So I'm really Could you imagine if we had to make lemon meringue pie? No, not at all. I think I'm lemon bars, right? I can make lemon bars. How do I make meringue? And sometimes people have like a little mini torch that like puts a nice crust on their meringue. I have a propane torch. Do you think that would work just as well? Or does it need to be a little butane guy, you know, from a chef? I just know you gotta fold in things at times and peaks and stiffs, and I don't know. How do you well how do you fold it in? You you fold it with the spatula. Just fold it in. You make no sense to me. The next time we see lemon meringue, it'll be on against. I believe the randomizer may have picked a Final Four matchup. Oh hate that. I don't know if I love or hate that, but go on. Right? Because one is a staple, one is you gotta have the taste for it. We have pumpkin pie versus peach pie. And I believe they're in the right region with grandma's bourbon. Great region for them. Peach bourbon, a little pumpkin. Ooh. Two phenomenal pies. Now, I think it's time we address some of uh some questions we've got on social media, Harry. Go on. Go on. One big one, and I was very apprehensive. I try not to get my entries into our brackets because it's fan. It's America's favorite. Why did nobody submit sweet potato pie? I don't know if I ever had sweet potato pie. Two things. One, the great band Alabama sings it sweet potato, sweet potato pie and shut my mouth. Number two, I have, and it's delicious. What does it taste like? Heaven. I'm in, dude. Yeah, it's kind of like a pumpkin. It's closed pumpkin pie, but more sweet potatoy. Take mom's sweet potato casserole. Okay. A little less brown sugar on and marshmallow on top. Put it in a pie crust, let it solidify. Bake it 350 for about, I don't know, 20 minutes. Boom. Sweet potato pie. Okay, and that's what I felt like it was. Yes. So it's good to know that that's what it is. It's delicious. That's all the good things. Trust me. Sweet potato pie, amazing. Our four winners here: apple pie, cherry pie, pecan pie, and lemon. Yes, I would have extras of it. You know what I'm having extras of, Harry? You know what I'm gonna say no to right away? I don't care what you say. If you say, hey, I got some eel pie here, no. Harry. I'm moving on to eels of the week. Because I got one. You're fired. I have a big one. I got a big one. And I don't know who's getting it. Because I don't have the answer to the question yet. Go on. But to whoever told my two youngest children that they can pick whatever Halloween costume they wanted to, you are getting the eel of the week. What happened? That's one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever heard. So every year, last year, but most years we are a unit. Right. Sabrina is the object. I am a costume attached to our children. Olivia's first year, she was a bee. I was a beekeeper. Sabrina was the beehive. Right. The next year she was pregnant with Piper. So Olivia was a fisher woman. I was a fish. Well, really, it's just a t-shirt with a bunch of trout in it. Smart. Sabrina was the boat. Smart. So we kept adding on and on and on. Yeah, you were peanut butter and jelly one year. That's right. That's what the next year was. One daughter was peanut butter, one was jelly. Sabrina and I were the bread, right? You know. Beautiful. Sabrina's usually object. I'm uh an associate character. Somebody told our children that they can be whatever they want. No. Yeah. I'm bummed because Sabrina didn't really partake last year because the girl, three girls were minions. I was grew. Right. So she didn't have a costume in time, you know. And so we had a really cool costume idea this year. But one wants to be a witch, one wants to be a cat. So now we're gonna find out how we can uh dress you know dress up for that. Well, I mean, witches have cats. Yes. That is literally what I said. Sabrina could be the cauldron. I said that as well. And what does that make you? Now you could go what was it? Uh oh, what is that? The movie Help Me Hocus Pocus. Hocus Pocus. And you can become uh like the big zombie. The zombie guy with his mouth tied shut. Yep, thought about that. Yeah, because she just said witch. She didn't say which witch. So she could be a Sanderson sister. She could be. And then uh you know I'm down. And then what was the cat's name? He was actually like Zachary or Hinkory or Thathery Binks. Salem? No, that's Sabrina the teenage witch. You're right. I I think he was probably called Thaddeus. No, his name is actually Thackeray. Now hold on. I'm not stroking out. It's Thackeray Binx. T H C K Mr. Binks. Or Timothy McGee off of NCIS. Really? Really? Really? Yeah. It's McGee. Huh. Did not catch that. The more you know. The more you know. But I uh as soon as you find them, I am on board to fistbite them. I'm in. I'm down. I'm ready to hammer fist somebody. If you could do a finisher move on people, what move would you want to do? Oh, that's a solid one. Right now, mind you, here's the things you have to remember. It affects you too. Yes. So if you can't really go with the stunner because that's a lot of tailbone action. Oh, a thousand percent is a lot of tailbone action. Rock bottom. You're slamming yourself on the floor just as hard. Yeah, but I don't I would rather do the rock bottom. Well, hold on. You get to pick any finisher you want. Oh, I get that. And there's plenty of finishers you can do that are less likely to cause harm to you. This is a good question. Because stunner is like probably the most stunning. Right.
SPEAKER_01:You want you, you would, you would think the stunner, but the problem is, and here's where every female audience member just shut this show off. Yeah. The problem is you're not trained to do finish moves. So you got to remember that too. It's your body as it is right now. Oh yeah. So that's the that's I I think I have a good one, but I'm gonna let you try to think and go first.
SPEAKER_00:I don't know why the Macho Man elbow drop is like at the top of my list, but really are you gonna top rope and jump off? And do they want all this falling near them? Probably not. Right. For one little elbow shot, I don't think that's worth it. That's that is the problem.
SPEAKER_01:Is it A, it's gotta not hurt you as much. B, it has to be actually worth it and cause them actual pain. Yeah. Tombstone.
SPEAKER_00:Tombstone is one of the safer ones. Well, you gotta drop to your knees. That's fine. Yeah, you already have a bionic knee, so yeah, I'm in. You are in. All right.
SPEAKER_01:Probably the attitude adjustment, John, John Cena, and not just because we talked about them today.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Because it I was thinking, again, I I don't have the training.
SPEAKER_00:So like Brock Lesnar's F5, it's a little more spin, a little more ballerina-esque, to where John Cena is just pick up and dump. Pick and dump. Pick and dump. The only thing that's gonna I could throw my back out. I was thinking edges, edge slash Goldberg spear. Spear? Yeah, but if you don't connect right, you don't connect right, you're popping that shoulder square out. That's fine. I was also thinking the walls of Jericho. Yeah. A submission would probably be I was thinking sharpshooter from Bret Hart. Ooh, there you go. But the walls of Jericho is probably the best because it's easy, simple. It's easy, it's simple, and you could just like blast this off. It's like the ball, uh the Boston Jericho, uh Boston Jericho. The Boston Crab from back in the day, but walls of Jericho. Yeah, exactly. And break the wall down. Uh, so great. One of the best parts about recording on Thursdays uh during the NFL season is Thursday night football. Like tonight we had Aaron Rodgers versus Joe Flacco. Great matchup. What they're calling the icy hot bowl? I'm in. Man, these guys are uh, you know, and they're in the prime from what I hear.
SPEAKER_01:The word old has not been thrown around. The word old has not been thrown around one time this week, referring to this game.
SPEAKER_00:Bengals get the upset. You're late. Upset. Is it weird seeing two old guys out there? Who said they're old? Uh America says they're old, buddy. They are not old. They are both in the prime of their lives. They are NFL old. Can we agree on that? They are NFL old. I feel like I can play right now, but yeah, I guess I'll give to them. That's weird.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. That's weird. Not as weird as PWN Paul's Weird News.
SPEAKER_00:Here is your host. Paul. Hey, Harry, thanks for a shout out here on the streets. Boy, do I got doozy for you today. Let's head on down to a little state we commonly refer to as Arizona. Where an animal was seen at some point in a store, and people didn't know what to do. So let's go down to the Oro Valley, O-R-O valley, where shoppers in a southern Arizona grocery store were shocked when he walked in. Over the weekend, a bear was seen in the neighborhood near a fries location, was spotted again Monday hanging out behind the store. Right before he walked into the store, he bumped up against the automatic doors and managed to eventually just walk in. A grown bear walked inside of a grocery store. And then somebody was quoted saying, it just ran around. But I don't think it did any damage. It's not a bull in a china closet, folks. It's a bear in a grocery store. Makes sense. Which is also pretty wild. But my favorite part, like the only way you find out about this, is the video was taken by a shopper at the store and it showed a man looking for the bear inside the store. First off, who is that man looking for? Who hurt that man? You know, and then boop, the man was looking at his phone, looks up, and realizes that the bear was within several feet of him, kind of freaked out, and the bear ran off. First off, if the bear ran off, good for you, because uh that's kind of scary. But you see in the produce section, kind of taking little snacks, like most people do, but not in grapes. Just trying different produce out going, is this gonna be worth it? And my favorite part of this whole thing is somebody's quote saying we have several bear sightings in this area often. We occasionally get them coming out of the desert, but this is the most interesting interaction. Interesting interaction is a bear inside your grocery store. See something for you back in the studio to think about what would you do if you saw a bear inside of a grocery store?
SPEAKER_01:I haven't said anything because I don't know how or what I would do.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, I couldn't imagine going down the dairy aisle and then turning around to go get bread or something, and then there's just a bear. Right. Can you imagine like every guy knows how to grocery shop? Yeah. In our head, we you know, we got the list, we know where we're going, right? Boop, boop, boop. I'm straight direct lines. But my grocery store got redesigned. Oh, the worst. It is the absolute worst thing in the world is they redesigned it and they moved stuff around, and now I can ask an associate where is their jelly at, and it's 17 aisles back the other direction, not in the bread aisle. But now imagine I gotta go 17 hours back and get my jelly. Strawberry squeezable jelly. That's my favorite. And you go down there and there's Yogi Bear eating all the honey. Yeah, I think I would cry. Yeah, I would try and uppercut it. Yeah, yeah, what you said. You just run and cry. It's looking like, hey, that's my strawberry jelly.
SPEAKER_01:Listen, and you know what the great best thing about bears is you don't have to be the fastest. You just can't be the slowest. And people need two knees to run. Just remember that.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, if don't run anybody, there's a bear. I'm gonna push somebody down. Helpful hint. All right, right there. Yeah. It's don't be the don't be the slowest. Don't be the slowest. Now, you know what I need you to do, Harry? Get on this little Cessna with me. Let's leave Arizona. Let's take a short jaunt ride over to Hollywood, California. Because we got our guy, David Rush, making another appearance. He's a serial record breaker, Guinness Book of World Records holder. I think he's the guy who has a record for the most records in Guinness Book of World Records. And how many times can I say records in one sentence? The record there is three. So David Rush teamed up with a longtime collaborator on the sidelines of the new Fox game show called 99 to beat. And he recaptured a Guinness World Record, which means he had it, lost it, and he gains it back. Rush with his good friend Jonathan, quote, Hollywood Hannon. His nickname is Hollywood. You know he's got A. Aviators on things he's Tom Cruise. Both of them are contestants on the show, 99 to beat. I'm not going to spoil it to you. One of them doesn't make it. But they decided they would attempt the Guinness World Record for the most alternate fist bumps in 30 seconds. So a team of two people, how many times can you fist bump within 30 seconds? Rush really set the record at 380 with Howie Mandel on the set of America's Got Talent. So pretty much this dude for 30 seconds just punched Howie Mandel's fist. Yeah, that's kind of how I'm taking it. Right. Can you imagine being Howie getting punched 380 times by this guy? That's weird. I don't care what you say. That's kind of weird. Right. So he broke the set the record at 380. Somebody else came out and beat it at 398. Well, he reset at 398. Somebody else came out and made it 406. So Rush and his friend Hannon. Like 30 seconds. Are you ready? I hope we drink six Red Bulls before we do this. And it was like Terminator, like a shotgun. They just pump action on the forearms. 3, 2, 1, countdown. And how many you think they got, Harry? 421. So close. They got 426 fist bumps in 30 seconds. I believe you and I could get close to that. Yeah, it's not hard. No. Just don't move your hands. I'm going to punch you 427 times. In how long? 30 seconds.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, we could do it.
unknown:Right.
SPEAKER_00:You don't have to go all the way back. You just barely move. Go like this. It's like causing a little friction. But they rush and his buddy Hannon will forever be immortalized in Guinness Book World Records until somebody beats them at 426 fist bumps, 30 seconds. Is that one of the oddest world records we've covered? It's got to be up there. Yeah. I mean, I it's not odd. I just think the amount is odd and weird. Yeah. It is pretty weird. It's 30 seconds for fist bumps. Imagine if you got a full minute, could you get a thousand in? I would lose count. I think that's why they can't do it to a full minute. You're right. Now, Harry. Let's go on this airplane. Let's get on a big one. Let's get on like a 737. We can stretch our legs out. We're moving cross-country. We're going from Arizona to the greatest city in the world. And I'm going to leave you guessing what city it is because we're going to a sculpture contest with something that you probably wouldn't think about sculpting. Hold on. Let me think. I know there's butter. I know there's sand. That's the only sculpting I know. A Norristown tattoo artist made a tribute to a specific trademark for a short yardage play to take the top honor at a lighthearted art competition to kick off the Scrapple and Apple Festival. Ladies and gentlemen, I know what you're asking yourself. This is the ultimate weird news segment. The Mush Push won first prize at the Scrapple and Apple Scrapple Sculpting Competition. Wow. The celebration of all things Scrapple at the Reading Terminal Market began with a contest to fashion art from five pounds of scrapple. Five pounds. I can design something for you. An empty plate. Now, the main the main artist and 11 other volunteer contestants were given sculpting tools in 90 minutes to come up with their best scrapple creation. Which is tough, right? That's tough, yeah. 90 minutes, five pounds of scrapple. I think I could eat it all. He described his work as Caravaggio Mizeriani. Yeah, I mean, I just imagine him being like the grandma with her bourbon, flicking her wrist here, yelling at us. But the weird news is ready to terminal markers, scrapple and apple festival. You get 90 minutes, five pounds scrapple. You got to design something. This guy's like, you know what? I'll go birds all the time. I'm a huge fan of his German breakfast meat patty with cornmeal and all the scraps of a pig to where I'm going to make you something and it's mush push. And he made an art display of the Philadelphia Phil Philadelphia Phillies. They're right. There I go. Getting all excited. Philadelphia Eagles tush push, a short yardage play out of Scrapple. Folks, this picture is phenomenal. And I will be posting it to all of our socials. Harry, what is the craziest thing you've ever believed you would sculpt out of Scrapple? That's a tough medium to work with. I mean, it's not as it has to be pretty bulky, right? I don't, I don't I don't think I have much of anything, buddy. I'm gonna be honest. But folks, that's the football themed sculpture is enough scrapple for you. That festival also features such culinary offerings, such as scrapple fries, and dewy scrapple breakfast sandwich. Delicious sounding. Scrapple apple cookies and scrapple quiche.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, that's not one thing you listed that I'm not in on.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Uh, and to make things even better, Harry, there's even a scrapple cheesesteak. But that's it for me out here on the streets. Back to you in Studio T. I've had a scrapple cheesesteak. It is good. Oh, it sounds delish. You didn't have one? You've never been to Wolf's in Aston? I've been to Wolf's, but they didn't have scrapple cheesesteak when I went last time. How? They didn't have not me. Like I didn't say no. Uh I went, it was years ago, and uh Riots of Capriotis left. You and I did go, and they didn't have it then. You and I went? Yeah, we went together. You're the only one I went to Wolf's with. Oh man. Ladies and gentlemen, this is why we say, you know, CTE exists. It does.
SPEAKER_01:It's real. It's not like Sasquatch. He also exists. I've seen him. I've talked to him. He's cool.
SPEAKER_00:He's a cool dude.
SPEAKER_01:He's a Capricorn, so he thinks he's hot stuff.
SPEAKER_00:He's not. Yeah, he's not. He's not a Scorpio, I'll tell you that. Be sure to follow us on Facebook at the Trout Stream and on Instagram and Twitter at TroutStream Pod and TikTok.
