Speaker 1 (00:03):
Well, hope you're doing well. Bama Brown here from the
Bama Brown Experience on the iHeart Podcast Network. Give us
ten minutes. We'll try to make you laugh. We have
some fun along with my potna is the Big Puma.
Puma has got the Sports Cave. It's the most popular
sports showing podcast. Hive. How I get that? What I
gotta do, man, We make it easy on you.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Anywhere you get your podcasts, just search for the Sports
Cave with Biggest Puma. Now, don't don't be disappointed when
you don't hear much. We don't cover a whole lot
of ferret legging.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Oh yeah, yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Richard Gear will be disappointed. But we cover a lot
of sports, so you need a little sports books.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Roving ready to get a rubber band. Show you my
Richard Gear joke about that which that by the way,
that never happened. And I like Richard Gear, but that
that that story is all made up, totally made up.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
All that story you could have told me ferret legging
was made up. And after you yesterday, I am obsessed.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Now I did tell you that, but I told you
it's real, and you looked it up. That my feelings
were hurt. Uh, but uh, that's just that story didn't
didn't happen. That's a terrible story. And uh the one
with also the one with I'll tell you, I will
shock you. You know Rod Stewart, that story was bullshit
too about him. Yeah, but did you know Rod Stewart
(01:22):
has the largest model train set in the world. Did
you know that? Uh, that is a fun fact.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I didn't. I will have to tell my dad. He
is still a model train connoisseur.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
You need to look up the pictures of Rod Stewart's
model train railroad. It is the It's the largest privately
owned railroad in the in the you, in the in
the whole world. I mean, it is unbelievable. And he
did an interview. Yeah, god, you just saw a picture.
I mean it's gigantic. It's like a football field of
model trains. He said, when we would go on the road,
(01:54):
everybody would go out part in and I would stay
in my hotel room and build like model lands and
model trains for my train set. And he said, That's
why I'm still alive. And what then? How all the time,
I'm not going to say that.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Probably one of the few instances where it pays off
to be a nerd, even if you're a rock star.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah, super rock star, but nerd with that that that
train set. You look it up when you get a chance.
Just google. Rodster is famous for doing it.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
The other thing Puma said is at midweek, I hadn't
told a joke. So here's she joked for the week. Careful,
it's not that nice. So this guy dies and he's
at the morgue and he goes and don't stop me
if I've told this, because I don't have that many
jokes anyway that I can tell on air. But uh,
so his wife comes to the to the the org
(02:44):
there to the funeral homes. She had funeral home. I'm
screwing it up already. He's guys at funeral home, all right.
So she walks in funeral home and goes in there
and he's laying out in the coffin, and the funeral
home guys like showing it to her, is like, are
you you know good with this? And she said, yes,
that he looks good. That looks really I wish I
wish you all to put him in that brown suit instead,
(03:07):
but I'm very happy otherwise. And he goes Okay, no problem,
and she walks out the door, and then he takes
his radio and goes, hey, Bob, change the heads in
nine and twelve.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
All, okay, that's a good one. I'll give you that.
I'll give you that one.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Change out their heads. That's horrible. So what was I
gonna Oh, I had the story for you. This is
another way he's crazy stories because I have a story
that goes with this that I did. They have pothole palooza.
I think it's going on right now in Salt Lake City.
What that is is, over the course of three weeks
in Salt Lake City, they fix every pothole within those
(03:51):
three weeks in their city streets. They did it last year.
They fixed sixty seven hundred potholes in three weeks. They
all are crews come in, I had volunteers. Everybody gets
involved in it, and they all fix the streets in
their city and it's all like city is huge.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I was about to say that would be a three
year process. Over here in San Antonio, it takes three
years to do just to do the West Side.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I'll tell you what, if I'd just got the orange
barrel business for this city of Austin, i'd be I
wouldn't be doing a podcast. It'd been a beach somewhere,
you know, with my twenty one year old stripper wife had.
But I mean not that that. It's I love my life,
it's great, this is great. Uh So here's what I
did on my pothole. I had a pothole in front
(04:36):
of my h in front of my street here and
they're in dripping springs and right there in front of
my place. And this pothole was there for years, I
mean years. Any get bigger, any get bigger. And at
the time, I had a Mini Cooper, a little red
and white Mini Cooper, red with the white top, and uh,
I'd drive it and I you know, I had to
(04:56):
go around this pothole. I mean it was a pretty
big pothole. So I was at Toys r Us or
something with my daughter and there was an RC Mini Cooper.
It was one eighth scale, so it's about three feet
by two feet or almost that dick and it was
red with the white top. It was identical in my car,
so I bought it. It was it wasn't a real
good radial draw. I mean it was like, you know,
(05:16):
I had a wire to it. And I got home
and I took a picture of my road with the pothole,
and then and I had my Mini Cooper sitting kind
of in front of the bottle, and I go, I'm
not saying this pothole is huge, but look at this.
And then I put that model of the Mini Cooper
down in the pothole with the back end sticking up
out of it and split the pictures and man it
(05:38):
it looked perfect. It looked like my Mini Cooper had
driven off into a canyon and it was sticking out.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And I posted it on Facebook and on the on
the KVE that website. We all had a good laugh everything.
The next morning, I'm not kidding you put them in.
The next morning I got home from the radio station,
that hole was fixed. It coming hard filled it in
just that hole. And then they came back later like
it started sinking again, so it was a soft spot
(06:06):
under They drilled it out and plugged it with like
some hard surface and it's to this day it's perfect.
But they never said a word. I know a lot
of those guys with the with the County Highway to
deal here and they you know, at Hayes County and
so nobody ever said a word but that that was
pretty funny. I thought they at least they had a
good sense of humor. I hope they did about it.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, I was about to say, I mean, it's not
like you went full Karen and where Oh, no blowing
up the city manager's phone line or anything like that.
You just made a joke of it, had a laugh
and moved on.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I remember somewhere some celebrity lived on a street and
they had called and called and called, and nobody fixed it.
So the celebrity paid to have a have the road
truck come with the tar, and the neighborhood all got
out there and they somebody had a run and they
poured it and fixed their own street. They're on private
street in front of their houses, even though it was
(06:58):
a city known street. They fixed all the potholes and
paved it. Whether in the guy paid for it, the
celebrity did. I don't remember who it was. It was
a famous movie TV guy, I don't remember it was,
but yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
It wouldn't surprise me if a bunch of those rich guys.
You know, if you're driving a nice car, you want
to make sure. Yeah, exactly, I'm not going to bust
a rim driving down your road.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Do you remember there was a few years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
One of the pizza joints, like one of the national
chain pizza places, did a it was like a paving
for pizza.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
And they remember that.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, like if you ordered a pizza and they owned
a pothole on your delivery route, they would end up
paying to have the pothole.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I think I remember it was Dominoes because I remember
when Domino's when Dominoes had thirty minutes or less, we
get your pizza tea in thirty minutes or less, and
they sponsored uh an indy car. It was number thirty.
It was the Dominoes race IndyCar number thirty, thirty minutes
or less. And one of their people was delivering a
(08:04):
pizza and crashed and killed somebody and they sued Dominos
and so they had to get rid of that whole
thirty minutes or less thing.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah. Yeah, I always felt like that's just opening yourself
up to end up in a standoff with a college
kid like you got hear itty minutes in five seconds.
I'm not paying.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I'm not paying. You know I'm not paying you dude,
You didn't I don't know what happens after that. I go, okay, well,
here here's your art.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I never understood the order a pizza and send it
to a fake address. I never saw the big payoff
on that punchline, you know, like some guys delivering a
pizza to somebody that you know, when you're going where,
where's a pizza? Out of it? Because I guarantee you
if someone was at my front door and they had
a pizza and they said, did you order a pizza?
(08:50):
I would pay for it and eat it. It didn't
matter if I'd ordered it or not. It is wrong whatever.
I just like, sure, here your money, here's your money.
You know nothing else.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
There's breakfast that's cold pizza, breakfast in the morning.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
What I don't know. I've seen pizza set at the
radio station two days and somebody still eat it.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I mean it's like, you don't even get me started
about some of the things that I would see that
would sit out for over twenty four hours and then
the next day would see someone.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Picking like it.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
You would have like a breakfast item, yeah, like a
like a chicken biscuit or something chicken chicken biscuit arrive
at you know ten o'clock one morning, and then the
next day you would see someone walk by pick one
up at like two in the afternoon and just I'd
just be like, what the hell is You're gonna die?
(09:43):
Not why is why? Which again I know it says
a lot because I'm talking about radio people, So it's
not like it's not like Why's life decisions are at
the forefront of all of our minds.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
But to give you an example, we're we're like carnies
without the class. Okay, that just explains a radio people,
and that's probably a good one to get out on
carneys without the class. It's uh, it's the Beam and
Brown Experience on with Big Here on the Big iHeart
podcast Network. Thank you for listening.
Well, hope you're doing well. Bama Brown here from the
