    🎉 Episode 100: The Trout Stream Hits a Big, Beautiful, Slightly Confused Milestone The Trout Stream has officially reached 100 episodes, proving that two guys with fish-related last names can keep a podcast going longer than most people can keep a houseplant alive. Harry and Paul celebrate the century mark with a jam-packed episode featuring: - A deep dive into the magical world of zeros and double zeros, from Russell Westbrook and Gilbert Arenas to Jim Otto, Brian Wilson, and NASCAR legend Buckshot Jones. - The announcement of the regular-season NASCAR Pick’em champion, as Harry claims the crown, Larry finishes a heroic second, and Paul discovers that commissioners can, in fact, finish last in their own league. - The beginning of The Chase, with Harry immediately selecting Denny Hamlin and Paul pretending he has a strategy. - A heartbreaking update to the 2000s comedy movie bracket, including the shocking advancement of Super Troopers over Anchorman. Milk was, unfortunately, a bad choice. - A heartfelt tribute to Dolly Parton, complete with golden trout-level praise and appreciation for her incredible humanitarian work. - Three unforgettable stories in Paul’s Weird News: a politician snorkeling in a giant pothole, a missing handball trophy found hiding in its own team’s basement, and a possum attempting to blend in with stuffed animals at an Australian airport. - A spirited discussion about whether Harry and Paul could safely land a passenger plane. Their confidence is high. The passengers’ confidence should probably be lower. - Plenty of Eagles pride, Cowboys fan intimidation, questionable aviation logic, fishing stories, family updates, and reminders that this is not a fishing podcast. Most importantly, Harry and Paul take time to thank their families, friends, listeners, supporters, and everyone who has been part of the journey through marriages, births, moves, promotions, school, and all the chaos in between. After 100 episodes, the Trout Stream is still casting lines, tangling them, losing the bait, and somehow catching listeners along the way. Here’s to 100 episodes—and to 100 more. Just don’t expect them to be about fishing. 🎣

    Episode 99 is here, and we're celebrating another milestone! Harry and Paul kick things off by sharing stories from Emma's first (sleep-filled) trip to Bass Pro Shops, Easter bunny adventures, and the surprisingly serious business of finding the perfect hat. Then it's all about the number 99 as the brothers draft their favorite athletes to ever wear the iconic jersey, dive into legendary video game 99-overall ratings, explore NASCAR's No. 99 history, and spotlight famous celebrities turning—or remembered at—99 years old, including Mel Brooks, David Attenborough, Mr. Feeny, and more. They also continue their season-long NASCAR driver pickems with Martinsville picks, share laughs about Wayne Gretzky, Aaron Judge, Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn, and plenty of Philadelphia sports bias along the way. It's another packed episode filled with sports, stories, nostalgia, random rabbit holes, and the kind of brotherly banter you've come to expect from The Trout Stream.

    #96 - OM MY GUUUUUURRRRDDDD

    Send us a text A $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 text A 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. Which pie owns your Thanksgiving table—pumpkin or apple? https://linktr.ee/Troutstreampod If you could please follow like and review our show on all major apps that you listen to podcasts on.
