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.

What kind of road trip companion would you prefer—the wild, animalistic energy of Donnie from The Wild Thornberries or the perpetually ready-to-fight spirit of Scrappy-Doo? This question kicks off a hilarious exploration into the chaos each character would bring to an eight-hour journey, setting the tone for an episode brimming with unexpected turns.

Episode 83 takes us deep into the significance of this number across sports, entertainment, and history. We journey through NFL jerseys worn by legends like Wes Welker and Andre Reid, explore NASCAR's relationship with the number 83, and even discover that Drake's "God's Plan" holds the 83rd spot on the top 100 chart. The conversation takes a thoughtful turn as we acknowledge both 83-year-old celebrities still with us—Martha Stewart and Bob Dylan among them—and historical figures who passed at this age, from Thomas Jefferson to Paul Newman.

Our NASCAR coverage brings exciting updates from Bristol Motor Speedway, where Kyle Larson dominated the field. We dive into Larson's controversial comments about Cup drivers needing to "show those kids how real racers do it" in the Xfinity Series, sparking a discussion about mentorship in motorsports. Meanwhile, our beloved bracket competition "Bad Guys You Cheered For" delivers surprising results as Gru defeats Darth Vader and The Undertaker knocks out Walter White.

The Golden Trouts segment celebrates Alexander Ovechkin's historic achievement breaking Wayne Gretzky's goal-scoring record and Coastal Carolina University's fan-friendly initiative offering free concessions. We also honor Buford, the heroic Anatolian Pyrenees who found a missing two-year-old child who had wandered seven miles from home.

Paul's Weird News wraps things up with bizarre stories you won't believe—from a Chinese court auctioning 100 tons of live crocodiles to a restaurant that intentionally flooded itself with clean water to prevent flood damage. Whether you're here for the sports talk, pop culture references, or simply our trademark banter, episode 83 delivers the perfect blend of humor, insight, and outlandish tales that keep you coming back to The Trout Stream.
