🎉 Episode 100: The Trout Stream Hits a Big, Beautiful, Slightly Confused Milestone

The Trout Stream has officially reached 100 episodes, proving that two guys with fish-related last names can keep a podcast going longer than most people can keep a houseplant alive.

Harry and Paul celebrate the century mark with a jam-packed episode featuring:

- A deep dive into the magical world of zeros and double zeros, from Russell Westbrook and Gilbert Arenas to Jim Otto, Brian Wilson, and NASCAR legend Buckshot Jones.

- The announcement of the regular-season NASCAR Pick’em champion, as Harry claims the crown, Larry finishes a heroic second, and Paul discovers that commissioners can, in fact, finish last in their own league.

- The beginning of The Chase, with Harry immediately selecting Denny Hamlin and Paul pretending he has a strategy.

- A heartbreaking update to the 2000s comedy movie bracket, including the shocking advancement of Super Troopers over Anchorman. Milk was, unfortunately, a bad choice.

- A heartfelt tribute to Dolly Parton, complete with golden trout-level praise and appreciation for her incredible humanitarian work.

- Three unforgettable stories in Paul’s Weird News: a politician snorkeling in a giant pothole, a missing handball trophy found hiding in its own team’s basement, and a possum attempting to blend in with stuffed animals at an Australian airport.

- A spirited discussion about whether Harry and Paul could safely land a passenger plane. Their confidence is high. The passengers’ confidence should probably be lower.

- Plenty of Eagles pride, Cowboys fan intimidation, questionable aviation logic, fishing stories, family updates, and reminders that this is not a fishing podcast.

Most importantly, Harry and Paul take time to thank their families, friends, listeners, supporters, and everyone who has been part of the journey through marriages, births, moves, promotions, school, and all the chaos in between.

After 100 episodes, the Trout Stream is still casting lines, tangling them, losing the bait, and somehow catching listeners along the way.

Here’s to 100 episodes—and to 100 more. Just don’t expect them to be about fishing. 🎣

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.
