Speaker 1 (00:41):
After let's get Puma's plugging there. The Big Puma.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
The Big has a Sports.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Cave podcast out of San Antonio, very popular, number one
sports cast in all of Central Texas. Well, How do
I get a hold of that? If I want to.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Listen to sports, we make it easy on you. Anywhere
you get your podcast, just search for the Sports Cave
with Biggest Puma of course. Monday nights live on YouTube
at Sports Cave Live, and Wednesdays like today can usually
expect to have a Bama Brown appearance over there on

Speaker 1 (01:13):
I'm looking forward to getting on with you. I'm gonna
do that, not every week and not a lot, but
just enough that I want to stay and enjoy that
because I know a little bit about sports, and I
know a little baud love and baby, I'll guess the rest.
That's a Leonard Skinner song.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
So I saw a pretty cool list here Puma and
I wanted to get your feedback to this is a list,
and they did a survey of favorite TV homes from
TV shows the homes that they all right, so we're
gonna we're just gonna throw the Brady Bunch out right
now and say, Okay, nobody really likes the Brady Bunch,
but everybody thought, you know that it was it was cool.

(01:50):
It's a nice house. But I'm taking Brady Bunch out
of there, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I got to be the most iconic TV television I would.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Think, so you know, and remember in the movie all
the houses he does and looked exactly like running joke
on that now, all right, So I've got the top
six here in number six was the house from Breaking Bad.
Peep thought that was a cool house. Of course, got
pizza on the roof. People kept throwing the pizza on
the roof and they had put a chaining fence around it,

(02:18):
so people had stop doing that. But people they liked
Breaking Bad house or in Albuquerque.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, I love Albuquerque. That's gotta be That's gotta be
the most. If Brady Bunch is the most iconic of
all time, the Breaking Bad one I think has to
be the most iconic of the last ten twenty years
or so.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
When he crawled in the crawl space and half his
money was gone and she had given half that money away,
his face was like they kept just losing. If you
haven't seen Breaking Bad, you need to go watch it,
but lock in about a day to watch as many
as you can, as it's maybe one of my all
time favorite shows. I actually named my hot rod Fellina

(02:58):
after the last episode from l Passo, as I call
my old thirty six ford. Felina was Yeah, f E
L E E N a number five on the list.
And I remember a lot of people requesting the blueprints
for this house, the Sopranos house. When Sopranos came out
every it was a big article about how people were

(03:19):
calling and wanting to get blueprints of it because they
love that. It was a pretty house.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
I like, oh yeah, I mean we would expect as
much for Tony Soprano.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, absolutely, you know, so that's a cool house. Number
four was the Monica's apartment on Friends, and everybody used
to laugh about there. You know, she's a clerk, their clerks,
and then they live in a million dollar apartment, you
know in New York City's.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, what was I think?

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (03:46):
So, I I live with a a bit of a
friends encyclopedia. The roommate my wife is. I think she
can tell you just about the synopsis of every season,
episode by episode, if I remember correctly. It's something about
it was like gifted to her from a relative.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
And it was that it was New.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
York rent controlled, like a dud contract or something, you know,
housing urban development deal. But somehow they finally realized like, okay,
this is unbelievable. We have to come up with some answer. Yeah,
people are starting to realize like this is yeah, they're
living like millionaires in New York City.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, it's just always I mean three of them had
fair jobs and three or maybe one was really good job,
but then the other three and one was a professor
you know, of archaeology, you know, what's his face? So yoh, yeah,
I'm glad they addressed it. And I didn't know they did that.
But uh, that reminds me of a trivia I read
yesterday because you were talking about your wife of friends,

(04:49):
you know me with American Graffiti. I know everything, but
I learned one yesterday. Buddy of mine.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Two minute.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Are you ready for this? This is pretty awesome. So
you know George Lucas, this is how he got the money.
It was probably, if not the most profitable movie ever.
It was certainly in the top ten, and then they
considered it even top five. American Graffiti cost nine hundred
thousand to make. It took thirty days. That was the

(05:16):
reason they had that kind of coin. They had the
thirty days and nine hundred grand to make American Graffiti.
Harrison Ford, this is some other trivia I learned. Harrison
Ford got in a bar fight and got arrested while
this was being filmed, and in the city of the
city they were filming it. Then I think, I want
to say Modesta, but that's not right Medina. Anyway, the

(05:39):
city pulled back their movie contract, so they had to
go to another town nearby and shoot the rest of
the movie. They't get to finish it. A little piece
of trivia there. But here's the trivia. Cool part was
Lucas had a they were editing, and he and the
editor said it was recording to uh, direct two, and

(06:08):
the guy instead of saying recording to direct two, he
said R two D two okay, And Lucas wrote it down,
and that's what he named R two D two from
damn okay? Is that crazy? Sick?

Speaker 2 (06:23):
That's that's pretty, you know, because it's one of those
things you never think about, like it's like, oh, yeah,
it's just it's just R two D two and C
three p O.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
You just where did it come from?

Speaker 2 (06:34):
So I've never one time in my life thought how
did he? How did he come about naming robots?

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Right now? His first movie was th h X eleven
thirty eight, and that was a license plate on the
yellow car. If you go back and look, the yellow
car was th h X one thirty eight Milner's coup.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
I love it when directors do that, when that have multiple.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
What do they call it cookies or something like Easter
eggs and Easter eggs, that's it.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah, they're different movies that all kind of tie it
all together. I'm a sucker for I'm also you know,
like hyper observational like that, so when I see one, uh,
I immediately geek out about it.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
That's what they said. That's where he got the money
to make Star Wars was off of American Graffiti went
but it went on to make nearly a billion dollars worldwide. Uh.
And like I say, I have the movie poster mental life.
I actually owned a thirty two Ford Coop exactly like
that up until a few months ago, where I traded
it because it didn't fit me any. I couldn't fit
as that chopp top and I'm I'm driving like a

(07:41):
praying man. This is not fun. So I got a
thirty six Ford coup now street rod did I drive
every day, and it's like sitting on the couch watching TV.
It's so much more comfortable and I really like it.
But I missed my I missed my little, my little
thirty two. So I thought that was kind of cool.
This uh, this frugal list and then that we did yesterday,
and then this list of TV. I got some more

(08:03):
here for you if you're ready, You're ready Golden Girls
apartment in Miami now and I didn't see that. I
never thought of anything special about it.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
You know, that just felt like a generic sitcom set.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah, I never.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
I honestly kind of forgot they were in Miami.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah I did. I did too, I did, I didn't,
I don't. But that was number three. I guess maybe
some older people they talked to Number two fresh Prints
in the bel Air Mansion.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, so that was That's an iconic piece of my
childhood watching DJ Jazzy Jeff get thrown off the front
steps of that house.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah. Absolutely. And then the final one. I think it's
probably pretty easy to understand the Tanner House from Full
Full House, uh, the Victorian.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
You know. The three I thought about were the Breaking
Bad House, the Brady Bunch House, and the Full House.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
You know, also the lot about Mockingbird Lane House. There's uh,
you know, the Muster's House.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, okay, yeah, no, or the Adams Family House either one.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
There's a Munster House in Waco, as I remember, they
have a reproduction of the Munster House up in Waco
that you can I don't know if it's an airbnb
or you can just go there and eat. I think
you just go there and eat, But.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
I think it wasn't a couple of those actors were Texans.
I think I might have any idea. Yeah, I think
a couple of the people from the Monster well because
like the you know to speaking of George Lucas, Tobacca
lived in Granberry, Texas.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Uh oh, I didn't know that. I've seen him with that.
His makeup is crazy.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
He's a tall guy. Yeah, he lived. Granberry was like
fifteen miles away from my hometown. So that was always
the urban legend that you know, Chewbacca lived one town over.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
They had the cars, the Munstermobile and then the dragular
Coffin car that they had them at a our show recently,
I saw some pictures of them. Pretty pretty cool looking deal.
You know, the Bears built for him. I think it
was Bears built.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
It makes me wonder, how, you know, because like the
Monsters for me were before my time, but because of
like Nicket Night or all the reruns on random cable channels,
right I watched quite a bit of Monsters. I can't
imagine someone under thirty years old right now has ever
watched multiple episodes of.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
The you know what we're watching right now is er
Alex was little baby when Er came out, you know,
and and uh, and she's really enjoying it. And it's
funny to see all those stars back, you know, before
they were major stars. It's kind of cool.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Though. Have you seen any of that show on HBO,
The Pit Hit.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
I don't think I've watched The Pit yet.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Anywat what's his name? Noah Wiley?

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Oh, yes, yes, Jamie was watching it the other night.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
Yeah, we started. We started watching The Pit watching this
first season of it, and it's spectacular, but it at
times I'm squeamish when it comes to medical stuff like
I'm turning my I'm putting my head down, closing my eyes.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
A lot any of it.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, because we started watching it. We also went back
and started watching Er because we are seeing it as
a kid when my parents were watching it in the nineties.
But I'd never really you know, followed storyline episode to episode,
so we started burning through those two.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
It's pretty awesome. If you get a chance to watch it.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Holds up what really will.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
It really does? It's surprisingly well and it I mean
it just cloney. They're all just incredible actors, really really
impressive show. So if you get a chance and you
had never watched er, so you got there's like thirty seasons.
There's Something's crazy.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
I started now because you're gonna need some time.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
It's fun to watch the guest stars though that are
on there that before they're major stars. There's usually one,
ever a couple of episodes that you go, oh my god,
look who it is. You know.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
That casting whoever was doing casting for that show back then,
absolutely was killing it.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Knocking it out. Well, that's it for today. Thank you
