    Saddle up for a wild ride with us, Harry and Paul Troutman, as we munch our way through an Arby's feast and dish out the dirt on their latest business conquests. Ever wonder about the strategic smarts behind munching on curly fries while sipping a Sonic shake? We've got the playful banter and financial musings to satisfy your curiosity. But that's just the appetizer! We honor the unsung heroes donning the number 63 in sports, hand out our "Golden Trouts" and "Eels of the Week," and fire up the competition with our biggest pet peeves bracket. Plus, we're sharing tender moments from Mother's Day celebrations and arcade first dates that'll warm your heart.

    Don't let the hum of podcasting gear fool you; our setup may be modest, but our spirits are sky-high as we roll into NASCAR trivia, betting on Kyle Busch's 63 wins, and the NFL schedule release—ticket prices and all. We're dishing out personal tales with every touchdown and pit stop, inviting you to a sporty feast that feels like you're right there with us in the living room, cold ones in hand. And as we mow down sports talk, join us in pondering life's pressing questions: is it better to roar in the stadium or lounge at home?

    You'll want to stick around as we swap stories of neighborly feuds and garden dilemmas, from boat murals to dandelion battles, all served with a side of laughter. The buzz doesn't stop there; we've got a swarm of tales about 15 million bees causing a honey of a ruckus in Maine. And as we wrap up, we're rallying the Trout Stream family to spread the podcast love far and wide—yes, even to Glenn Close. We're drawing the curtain with a heartfelt shoutout to Mental Health Awareness Month and a rousing cheer for our Philly favorites, reminding us all of the sweet victory in community and support.

    Harry Troutman and I, Paul, uncork this conundrum as we both find ourselves new custodians of riding mowers—unplanned and in sync. We’re unspooling our week's thread, weaving in the golden trouts and eels of the sports world, with nods to athletes like the Philadelphia Eagles' Jason Kelce, and the intriguing potential of an undrafted free agent joining the Buffalo Bills. Our offbeat chatter doesn't stop at sports; we take a fanciful foray into the world of racing, whether it's lawnmowers or tillers, proving that our need for speed knows no bounds.

    Hold onto your hats, or should I say helmets, for this whiplash of a journey through the most unusual races and the thrill of witnessing history-making sports moments. We're reminiscing about the nail-biting finishes at the Kentucky Derby and NASCAR, and sharing personal tales from the racetrack of life—including the adventures of manual transmission driving and the curious mix-ups that can happen when you opt for a kids' meal as an adult. And if your competitive spirit is piqued, wait 'til you hear about our "Biggest Pet Peeves" bracket, where our community comes together to air those little irks that unite us in shared exasperation.

    But wait, there's more—our stream flows into the wilder currents of life’s oddities, from the questionable choices of a Chinese zoo to the heartwarming mix-up of baby foxes for kittens. As we debate whether drinking 25 glasses of wine during a marathon is a feat of endurance or folly, we also take a playful jab at English breakfast habits and introduce you to the term "glizzy," the latest slang for hot dogs. Our conversation is as varied and vibrant as the colors on a racing car's paint job, and we're inviting you to hop in, buckle up, and enjoy the ride down the Trout Stream.

We lay it all out there, including our candid takes on questionable fashion trends and mind-boggling feats like marathon chess sessions.

    Wrapping it up, we've got a tale that's as heartwarming as it is a call for responsibility—our own reflections on Wally the emotional support alligator's untimely adventure into the wild. Don't miss our debate over the mightiest of captains, and get ready to laugh, facepalm, and maybe even nod in agreement as we spill the beans on our newest bracket, biggest pet peeves.
