What happens when a zebra escapes in Tennessee, millions of honeybees spill onto a highway, and a bear decides to relax in someone's hot tub? These wild stories and more take center stage in episode 87 of The Trout Stream podcast, where hosts Paul and Harry navigate the strange landscape of viral hoaxes, NASCAR rivalries, and the ultimate barbecue side dish showdown.

The episode begins when the hosts dive into their recurring segment on athletes who've worn the number 87, featuring NFL star Travis Kelce, hockey legend Sidney Crosby, and Philadelphia Eagles tight end Brent Celek.

The barbecue side dish bracket continues to heat up with passionate debates about whether corn on the cob deserves its victory over pigs in a blanket, why baked beans triumphed against fruit salad, and the surprising advancement of chips and salsa over macaroni salad. Each matchup reveals not just food preferences but regional cooking traditions that listeners clearly feel strongly about.

Perhaps most entertaining is "Paul's Weird News" segment, featuring three bizarre animal tales—culminating with Florida residents using donuts to lure a bear from their hot tub. The episode concludes with a hilarious discussion about which actors would be the absolute worst choices to play James Bond, with Gilbert Gottfried and Pee-wee Herman topping their list of catastrophic casting ideas.

Why do listeners keep coming back to The Trout Stream? Because in a world of carefully curated content, Paul and Harry offer something refreshingly genuine—two brothers sharing laughs, strange stories, and unexpected insights that make even mundane topics like NASCAR statistics and barbecue sides feel like essential listening.
