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?

A 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. Which pie gets your vote?

A 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? Your vote decides what we eat next week.
