    #96 - OM MY GUUUUUURRRRDDDD

    Send us a textA $40 pair of “serial killer” frames, a first baby kick that stops time, and the greatest dad mug ever forged in a Lowe’s bucket—this one has range. We open with frugal fashion and brotherly roasting, then shift into the kind of holiday catch‑up that sticks: prime rib memories, gratitude, and the moment a future dad realizes his world just expanded and narrowed at once. From there, we dive into the sacred nerdery of jersey number 96, giving proper shine to Cortez Kennedy and passing Derek Barnett like a baton of nostalgia, with fast hits across MLB, NBA, and NASCAR that prove stats are just stories with jerseys on.The golden trouts bring heart and humor. Trader Joe’s gets flowers for donating 100% of unsold fresh goods and moving tens of millions of pounds of food to communities that need it. Then we crank up the amps for retro gaming nights—Rock Band, Madden throwbacks, and the quiet genius of saving every old console. Fantasy football stirs the pot with semifinals, pride, and friendly wagers that matter way more than they should. And because no stream is complete without the weird, PWN delivers: a $900,000 garage painting, the surprisingly intense housekeeping Olympics, and a raccoon that drinks, rampages, and naps like a tiny masked celebrity.Our Black Friday saga ties it all together: standing in the cold for mystery buckets, watching a would‑be bucket bandit sprint for destiny, and unboxing a ceramic five‑gallon “dad mug” that instantly becomes family lore. We close by teeing up listener‑driven polls and community goals across TikTok, Facebook, and beyond. Come for the laughs and oddities; stay for the warmth, sports nerdery, and small joys that make ordinary days feel cinematic.

    BONUS TURKEY TROT!!!! SOUP FOR SPEED!

    Send us a textA clean screen or closed captions—where do you land? We kick things off with a spirited, funny take on subtitles before rolling right into a worldwide listener shoutout and a marble-race ritual that decides who opens the show. From there we ride the 95 theme everywhere it goes: Richard Dent anchoring the ’85 Bears, Chris Jones talking his talk, a roll call of seven-time legends, and a playful detour into Lightning McQueen’s Piston Cup lore. We even dust off Windows 95 nostalgia and share where to click around those retro desktops and games online.The centerpiece is delicious: our Thanksgiving pie bracket. Apple and pumpkin battle through the field for a final that felt like a wrestling call—pumpkin claims the crown 55–45. That win sparks real plans and practical hosting tips: how to transport pies, ideal chilling windows, and why an Amish peanut butter cream pie might be the sleeper hit on your dessert table. We map our holiday plates in detail—stovetop stuffing over in-bird, sweet potato casserole with a brown sugar crunch, deviled eggs as a first-grab, and a hot sauce strategy that rescues dry turkey and lifts leftovers.We also spotlight a timely civic good: a Food For Fines program that turns non-perishables into municipal fine credits and clears overdue library fees. It’s a reminder that community matters as much as the menu. We wrap with gratitude, a nod to our executive producers Jared Alman and Joel and Audrey Tatrow, and a clear invite to help us keep growing this Trout Stream family.If you laughed, argued with our pie picks, or stole a side-dish idea, tap follow, leave a quick five-star review, and share this episode with the person who makes the best deviled eggs.

    #94 - Sixers, Pies, And A Perfect Weekend

    Send us a textA cheesesteak run, a throwback Sixers night, and a garage TV that serves up American Gladiators from season one—some weekends write themselves. We packed ours with brother time, bad puns, and the kind of sports stories that stick: jersey number 94 legends, draft-pick rabbit holes, and a NASCAR finale where a late caution flips the whole outcome. Respect to Denny. Applause for Larson. The line between luck and preparation has never felt thinner.What surprised us most? A pie bracket that turned into our most active poll ever. Apple takes down pecan in a surge of votes. Pumpkin cruises past the field. Now the final is set: pumpkin vs apple. It’s not just dessert; it’s identity, memory, and region. One gets Cool Whip, one gets ice cream, both are worthy champions. Cast a vote, pick a side, then make peace over a second slice.We also pull in the odd and delightful: a German museum tour that roasts guests on purpose and sells out, a cross-border European chair theft ring that steals 1,100 seats, and a “lion” on the loose in Ireland that turns out to be a Newfoundland named Mouse with a very convincing haircut. It all circles back to a simple idea—things aren’t always what they seem, which is why curiosity is the best seat in the house.Come for the Sixers and NASCAR talk, stay for the pie showdown, the jersey 94 roll call, and the shoutouts from York to Helsinki. If you laughed, learned, or picked a pie, tap follow, share with a friend, and drop a review. Five stars help more people find the stream—and yes, we read the one-stars too.

    #93 - THE MASK OF FRANKENSTEIN

    Send us a textA number can be an excuse for a party, and 93 gives us plenty to celebrate. We kick off with pure joy—Halloween nostalgia, shared Frankenstein masks, and a baby shower packed with Trout Stream onesies—before diving into the sports nerdery you asked for: the best athletes to wear 93. John Randle’s ferocity, Dwight Freeney’s spin legend, Jason Babin’s wide-nine years, and Jakub Voracek’s ripple effect in Philly hockey spark a fast, fun tour through football, hockey, baseball, and even the rare NBA 93.From there we fire up the engines: recent NASCAR trends, manufacturer storylines, and a high-stakes choice between heart and head. One of us rides with Denny Hamlin’s long arc toward a title, the other backs a late-season heater in Chase Briscoe. It’s fan energy with receipts, the kind of back-and-forth that makes Sunday feel closer. Threaded between the laughs, we hand out Golden Trout Awards for real-world kindness—from a Virginia wedding venue gifting maternity photos to a wildlife rescue that turned a mistaken hedgehog into a mascot with grace.Then—weird gets wonderful. Paul’s Weird News serves up an “artificial tongue” that measures spiciness, escaped lab monkeys with serious PPE warnings, and the blue-furred dogs of Chernobyl, all delivered with curiosity and common sense. The fan-voted pie bracket keeps the stakes delicious: chocolate crushes walnut, pumpkin steamrolls peach, apple strudel advances, and strawberry squeaks past French silk to face pecan. We wrap by revisiting road trip snack loyalties—Twizzlers, jerky, sunflower seeds—and invite you to add yours to the mix.If you love sports history, NASCAR drama, community shout-outs, and a bracket that actually makes you hungry, you’re home. Tap follow, share the show with a friend, and drop a five-star review—then jump into our polls and tell us which pie deserves the crown. Pumpkin or lemon meringue?

    #92 - I JUST THOUGHT YOU LIKED TATERS

    Send us a textA 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.Subscribe, share with someone who loves sports and sweets, and drop your vote in the pie bracket on our socials. Leave a review if you smiled, learned, or now want lemon meringue.

    #91 - A Seagull Covered In Curry Walks Into The X Games

    Send us a textWhat 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.https://linktr.ee/TroutstreampodIf you could please follow like and review our show on all major apps that you listen to podcasts on.If you need help, don't be afraid to reach out someone will listen!!

    #90 - MAMA WE'RE ON A RACECAR!

    Send us a textThe mic’s hot, the porch light’s on, and we’re rolling straight into a milestone—complete with a twist we’ve been dying to share. After a short break, we bring the full spread: a cold open laced with hidden Garth Brooks titles, a NASCAR playoffs duel separated by a single point, and the final vote in our BBQ side dish bracket that crowns a surprise champion. It’s the familiar rhythm you love—fast sports talk, food debates, small‑town volunteer chaos—turned up with stories that stick long after the outro.We dig into the mythology of the number 90, from Jordan Davis’ freight-train speed to Julius Peppers’ clean Carolina blues, and wander into the stat-nerd weeds on who’s worn 90 in other leagues. Golden Trouts go to legends and lifelines: Lee Corso for shaping Saturdays, North Wilkesboro for returning to the NASCAR points slate, Jared Allen for a Hall of Fame line that hits home, and to family for keeping us steady. The Trout Stream even found its way onto a real race car—Carter Clepp’s no. 99 Bandolero and go‑kart—proving that community travels fast when you invite it along.Paul’s Weird News brings the delightful absurd: an 82‑year‑late library return with a mysterious note, an osprey that “preheated” dinner on power lines, and a wallet rediscovered under the hood after 151,000 miles—gift cards alive, lottery numbers gone. And then the news that made our break make sense: we’re having a baby. We talk honestly about fertility hurdles, cravings, moving the studio, and the friends who make the load lighter. It’s sports, life, and everything in between—stitched with humor, kindness, and just enough chaos to feel real.Tap play, ride along, then jump into the comments: team deviled egg or team pasta salad? Follow us on socials, share the show with someone who needs a smile, and leave a review so more folks can find The Trout Stream.

    **BONUS** Fishing After Work: Hoagies, Waffles, and One Forever Meal

    Send us a textWhat single meal could you eat every day for the rest of your life? We put that bold rule to the test and find ourselves torn between the sensible comfort of breakfast and the romance of a perfect 11:30 Italian hoagie—the kind wrapped in wax paper, glistening with oil and vinegar, and impossible to forget. Along the way, we set ground rules, debate calories versus joy, and ask whether food you love in a moment can survive the grind of routine.We wander into the friendly feud between Waffle House and classic diners, weighing consistency against variety. Waffle House offers a ritual: crisp waffles, hash browns covered and smothered, bottomless coffee, and stories that always start after midnight. Diners fight back with chipped beef on a Belgian waffle, scrapple and pork roll, and the wild-card magic of an unexpectedly perfect pancake. The choice becomes a mirror—do you want dependable anchors or a menu that lets mood lead the way?The memories pour in: hubcap-sized pancakes we couldn’t finish as kids, late-night Waffle House encounters that got a little weird and very funny, road-trip breakfasts that became markers on a map, and even a hibachi-at-home bit with a lighter and airborne shrimp. We also poke at the infamous waffle challenge—24 hours inside, minus an hour per waffle—and what “punishment” says about our appetite for repetition. By the end, we land on something simple and true: your forever meal isn’t just about taste; it’s about who you are at that same time tomorrow. If breakfast keeps your days steady and a hoagie keeps your soul bright, maybe the best choice is the one you’ll still look forward to unwrapping.If you had to pick your one-and-only daily dish, what would you choose—and why?

    # 84 - MID-EVIL TIMES PENGUINS

    Send us a textHarry and Paul Troutman's signature charm radiates through episode 84 of The Trout Stream as they deliver what they proudly call "a show the whole family can enjoy." The brothers kick things off with a hilarious game where Paul pretends sports don't exist, interpreting headlines about LeBron James and football with innocent confusion that sets the tone for their trademark humor.Their personal weekend stories create that cozy, front-porch feeling fans love—Paul's power outage adventure leads to an impromptu family fort minus the roof ("because it's hot"), complete with strategic fan placement, while Harry's countryside drive down muddy roads is interrupted by an annoyed property owner with "dead end signs smaller than a dinner plate."
