    Cast a line and join Harry and Paul Troutman as they reel in another entertaining episode filled with their signature blend of humor, unusual stories, and friendly banter.

    The duo kicks off by sharing their Memorial Day weekend adventures, with Paul proudly announcing the completion of his five-year kitchen appliance transition journey. His detailed account of installing an over-the-range microwave provides unexpected comedy as he confesses to fishing the instructions out of the trash. Meanwhile, Harry recounts his camping escapades, complete with encounters at an "apple juice cart" offering potent one-sip servings and the challenges of babysitting while his friends were welcoming baby Henry into the world.

    NASCAR fans will appreciate the hosts' enthusiastic review of the Coca-Cola 600, with special praise for Amazon Prime's exceptional coverage. The conversation takes a delightfully bizarre turn when they discuss the inaugural "Wienermobile 500," where six Oscar Mayer Wienermobiles raced around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway—an event Paul describes with the enthusiasm of a professional sports announcer.

    The episode showcases their knack for finding humor in unexpected places, from Paul's frustration with Igloo coolers that can't fit six beverages to their surprisingly passionate discussion about onions. Their "Funny State Laws" segment keeps listeners guessing about where it's illegal to play dominoes on Sunday or get married at a skating rink.

    Don't miss "Paul's Weird News," featuring helicopter-evacuated cows in Switzerland, a World War I grenade discovered in a potato chip factory, and the Philadelphia Zoo naming baby tortoises after the Golden Girls. The hosts also announce their next fan-voted bracket: favorite summertime barbecue side dishes, promising more entertaining debates to come.

  • #85 - THE MIGHTY SUSQUEHANNA RIVER SHARKS

    What do $4,200 worth of dum-dums, Wilford Brimley's epic mustache, and the Susquehanna River have in common? They're all part of our landmark 85th episode celebration!

    Harry kicks things off with exciting news about finally securing a permanent campsite on the Susquehanna River after years of waiting. His camper now has a home (and a name - Jonah) on what turns out to be one of the oldest rivers in the world. Could there be ancient river sharks lurking beneath the surface? We hope not, but the fishing should be excellent!

    We dive deep into the world of #85 with our favorite athletes who've worn this special number, from Antonio Gates to Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson. Our NASCAR picks heat up as we approach Kansas Speedway, with both hosts selecting team drivers in a rare moment of agreement.

    The Golden Trout awards celebrate the Utah Hockey Club officially becoming the Utah Mammoth (Tusks Up!), Olympic swimmer Gary Hall Jr. receiving replacements for his medals lost in the LA fires, and the new Pope's surprising connection to Delco through Villanova University.

    Our villain bracket reaches its thrilling conclusion with Tony Soprano narrowly edging out The Undertaker in a nail-biting 52-48 final vote. Meanwhile, our "Disgusting Slimy Eels" expose frustrating consumer experiences with Lowe's pre-assembly fees and overly complicated battery replacement processes.

    Don't miss Paul's Weird News featuring an ostrich (or was it an emu?) escape on I-76 and a child who accidentally ordered 70,000 dum-dum lollipops through Amazon. We wrap up with a thought-provoking discussion about what 1,000 items your children could accidentally order and you would not be that mad about it.
    Join us for this milestone episode filled with laughs, nostalgia, and the family-friendly content you've come to expect from The Trout Stream!

    Harry 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." These everyday moments, told with wit and warmth, showcase why listeners connect so deeply with the show.

    The episode celebrates all things "84" with fascinating sports trivia about NFL greats who wore the number, including Randy Moss ("top three receiver all time, easy") and the Sharp brothers (both soon-to-be Hall of Famers). Their evident enthusiasm for wrestling shines as they discuss John Cena's record-breaking 17th world championship, while NASCAR talk about the controversial Talladega finish reveals their sports knowledge wrapped in accessible conversation.

    Fan-favorite segments deliver consistent laughs—the Golden Trout Awards celebrate a Michigan town's 300-person "book brigade" and NASCAR legend Greg Biffle's helicopter Easter egg drop for hurricane-affected communities. Meanwhile, Paul's Weird News uncovers gems like a Philadelphia peacock "strutting through the city like he had brunch reservations" and a Belgian brewery's epic 12,000-bottle beer hunt. Their "Bad Guys You Cheer For" bracket narrows to a championship showdown between Tony Soprano and The Undertaker that has both hosts speechless with anticipation.

    So cast a line and join the stream—where the laughs flow freely, PT Cruisers get unexpected love, and two brothers remind us that good, clean fun never goes out of style.
