Speaker 2 (00:19):
You were really confident there for a second.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
For a second, then I got to think it felt like.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
You were about to do a George Carlin stand up routine.
And then quickly he was like, oh, well, actually hold on,
I'm not so.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
There's always some caring calling in to somebody, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:36):

I'm already talking to Boom the Big Puma, the Big Cat.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Yes, sir, back as always good to be back with you.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
You have the podcast. His podcast is called the Sports
Cave number one sports podcast I think in the state
of Texas.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Actually with heart, it's the number one sports podcast hosted
by Sam Freeze.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Put it that way so that they know the Big
catat me there.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Anywhere you get your podcast, just search for the Sports
Cave with Biggest Puma.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Okay, that's kind of a he really backed off on
the Best in Texas.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
That was That's the best in Texas, just not the
most to listened to yet I'll get okay that.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Way, I'm got the only show named after a state
guy or something with Bama. All right. Uh, I thought
I would tell you, let's start out with a bonehead.
Love my boneheads. I'm not doing him on the radio anymore.
I'm doing them over here on my podcast. So, uh,
this happened in Arlington, Pennsylvania. You got a hand of
(01:37):
this guy. You robbed the gas station.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Boom.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
He went in there with the gun, threatened him with
the gun. They gave him his stuff, and then he
left on his roller blades. He rolled the store on
roller blades.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
So I'm not sure you're gonna get too far.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
He couldn't carry a lot. I wouldn't think.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
The return on the the return on the activity is
probably not going to yield a lot of future future
wealth exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I think you're you're you know, but hey, at least
you know, at least he brought it right, so literally.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Standing like imagine just being out pumping gas at that
gas station.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
In Rollerblade Robber.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Yeah, guy roller blading away from the scene of a crime.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Like you don't even call the cops on that. Here's go,
that's awesome. I got to see that.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
You know, you just stole a couple of snickers and
a pepsi or something like.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
There's no way.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, so this is my new favorite company talking about
ripping on people. There was an app company h in London.
The name of the app by the way, they're bankrupt now,
but is Builder AI. This was what it was called
Builder AI. It was an app company in London. Supposedly
like this trick super trick app stock value was one
(02:52):
point five billion dollars because of their in it and
it's an AI. They had supposedly had this credible AI
operation and it turns out it was just basically two
hundred Indians getting online and looking and doing stuff online.
So instead of having an AI equipment technology, they just
(03:13):
had two hundred Indians they could call on the phone
just like any ripoff deal and they got caught.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, it feels like this is probably about to become
the norm.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
They showed sales of eight hundred million dollars in sales.
Turns out it was like twenty million. Still pretty good
little scam going there, but they caught everybody. Now, nothing
happens to the Indians. They didn't know anything about it.
They just doing you know, they were just hired guys
contract the people in charge are They're looking at some
(03:47):
pretty pretty serious fines. I thought that was great.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
There was a German finance company, like it wasn't a
not a bank, but it was I think it was
like an investment firm or something like that, and they were, uh,
you know, promoting their use of AI to uh invest your.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Money and and mitigate mitigate risk.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
And you know, very because of our algorithms and our
AI technology, were actually able to invest your money wiser.
And it turned out to be the same way. They
were just subcontracting a bunch of people. I think theirs
was Uh. It wasn't in India, but it was somewhere
it was like ye Estonia or somewhere in eastern Europe,
and it was just a hacker group.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
That was a lot of people can spend a lot
of money on a website and brochures and you don't
know any different unless you actually go to the place
of business.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Here's another good scammer guy in the Czech Republic. He
had the uh he had the funeral home there. Uh,
he had eighty eight a total of eighty eight women
that he used the same coffin for ah, when they
get when they die, he puts them in his coffin.
They just one and then they go and bury him
(05:03):
and they keep the coffin and put the woman in
just in a hole. I guess. And uh, eighty eight
of them before they got caught. I guess the husband's
very upset.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
So, yeah, I would imagine. And with the first of all.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Why is it women, I don't know. I don't know
why it's only women.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah, I might not want to do any further investigation.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
There as much of a racket.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
As funeral homes and coffin prices and all of that is, Yeah,
you're already screwing people over with the original cost. So
then it's almost like a double scam. It's like you
screwed them over at the beginning with the original cost,
and now you're scamming them by not even giving them
the overpriced coffin that you charged them in the first place.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
That's absolutely they don't even get that. Don't even get
a box, is it? Then that's eighty eight canceled checks
by the way just came to me. That's terrible. Please
don't hate me. Hey it's Puma. He he makes me
do that. All right. So here's the top five. I
want to make sure you get this right. These are
the top five things that you keep just in case.
(06:07):
That's your deal, just in case we need them. I'm
gonna keep these. There's one of those guy Co commercials
where the guy goes, uh, you know, he's don't be
your parents. You know those are great commercials. You don't
want to be your parents. But the guy goes, I'll
never forget. The guy goes have he has like two
feet of wal trim, and he goes, hey, you never
(06:28):
know where you're gonna need molding. And the guy goes,
I know it's never and he throws in the dumpster.
And the guy like, oh, exaccurate. But here's the five items.
Let's start with number five. Clothes, all kinds of clothes
that you think, well, someday I'll need that. No, just
take them and put them in the box, donate them
to charity. Somebody that ain't got something would be glad
to have it. This is one here. Device cords. Device
(06:50):
cords are we've got drawers, device cords that we don't
have the devices, nor do we know where the stuff
even you know what it would even plug in to
get all that. Throw all that out. Donate it. Don't
donate it because they nobody's gonna want it. Gifts. People
that have given you gifts, go ahead and donate. There's
a senior center near you and people can get some gifts.
(07:13):
Number two another big one, owners manuals. You are never
going to look at another owner's manual after you assembled
or bought or whatever it was. You looked at it
at the time you bought it, and you're never gonna
look at it again. Just just recycle it well if.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
You ever needed it again. They're all available online now, like.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
You call all online.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yeah, I found an owner's manual for like a nineteen
eighties whirlpool. Apply it like because they're all available out
there now.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
You just got to dig a little.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
But you can't get parts for it. So why even
bother any parts are not available. I'm finding that more
and mores I do Model A forwards, more and more parts.
I buy all the U stuff I can get and
fix it up. But you know I've got four of
them right now, and you can't. It's a lot of
young people don't like a Model A because he's too
hard to drive, and he's you know, they like muscle cars,
(08:05):
but the old ones like that even though it makes
street rods out of them. But an original man of
the parts are starting to get then in some of
the parts supplier guys. And then last, let me get
the last item. Kitchen items. Go in your kitchen drawers,
look in there at all the stuff that you don't
ever use, and they say, psychologically when you get rid
of this crap, recycling if you can, but otherwise dump it.
(08:27):
The psychologic effect of having it neat and organized. And
there's something to that funk sway and all that you
know with jet it was Japan, whether you know all
of their culture, the minimalist thing is something to that.
I'm telling you, man.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, I as much as I don't want to admit it,
embracing it later in life, you can absolutely see an impact.
You can feel the effects of it. I mean we
you know, like obviously it's just me and you know,
my roommate, my wife here, so we don't have you know,
anything we collect is not because we're keeping it for
(09:05):
kids or anything like that it's us being hoarders, and
the kitchen is the one thing that we probably rotate
through the most of of like like this pan is
is bad, We'll just buy a new one, like you know,
like I remember my grandma would still have the same uh,
(09:25):
you know, a stovetop pan that she would make everything
in from the nineteen seventies till like last week.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Like yeah, but everything was made with love.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Man, it was all that flavor and that was yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Well, sometimes it's okay to just uh, let's let's replace somethings.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I wonder if people, like every one of us has
gotten cancer going, I wonder where we got it from,
Probably from that kind of shit, you know, like coming
off of the chemicals that they made, you know, eighty
years ago. All right, here's illegal baby names. You were
talking about Hitler a minute ago the Nazis in Germany.
I said, there, thinking, uh, I looked it up. Yeah,
Adolf Hitler is illegal. You cannot name your kid Adolf Hitler.
(10:06):
Uh And I think that's both names. You can name
him made off there, you can name him Hitler. Well,
I don't even think he named Hi Hitler anybody. He
can't name him off Hitler. I looked at some of
the others, Santa Claus, Uh, Majesty, let's see Messiah the
room in number three. Oh, that's about some rapper, I guess.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And then Queen King Jesus Christ. I think it's it. Yeah,
these are all illegal. Uh. I think I knew a
stripper named Majesty. I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
It just kind of yeah, it just but I'm familiar
with her work.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yeah, I don't remember a lot Cowboy Linda. I'm just
running down down the list in my head. And there's
a bunch in there for sure. Uh and oh uh
had the had some auction cars? Was gonna take about
this is kind of cool. They had a GT forty.
You know, Indianapolis we did this. This is kind of
follow up on some show we did nothing long ago
(11:09):
where Indianapolis Museum had to sell or were selling a
bunch of their cars. Oh yeah, that weren't Indy. You
weren't related to Indy. They had a GT forty that
went for thirteen million dollars or real GT forty four
versus Ferrari. One of those GT forty's thirteen MEI and
they say that's the highest paid on one of those,
they had a nineteen oh eight Mercedes race car that
(11:34):
went for eight million. That's pretty impressive. What does that
look like?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Is that like the old silver Arrow?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I don't even know. I don't know. It wasn't a
picture of it in nineteen o eight. I mean that's
basically a box wheels on it.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Really even that's exactly what it like.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
You know, they had they had a Auto Union. It
was what they called the the the old days. All
the Union built UH race cars and they were in
Formula one. And when Germany invaded came remember the country
that made the Auto Union I want to say Russia,
but that's not right. Anyway, the guy that owned one
(12:12):
of them, he took it apart and hid it in
parts all around the country in different salt mines and
under houses. But he knew the Germans and sees it
if they got ahold of it, sure and and uh
and so they never they never found it. And then
after the war he went around and gathered all the
parts that put it together and they had it on
display and it sold for like eight million itself, as
(12:33):
you know, but he had that history of being taken apart.
The craziest one I remember there was a maser It
was a Maserati. I have a book. It's a great book.
Look up. Uh, I can't. I'll think of the name
in a minute. Uh. It was about barn finds and
uh there was a Mercede Mercy, uh Maserati that was
(12:57):
rumored to be hidden in this town in Italy. And
this guy went to Italy and the town was where
they filmed The Godfather and when when Michael was walking
around that little town and he talks about all of
you know, the different uh uh it was, Oh, it
was this Cobra in the Barn is the name of
the book. Cobra in the Barn. There's a bunch of
(13:17):
stories of barn find cars. It's really great. There's a
couple of those books. But the uh, the guy finally
found one of these people who were still alive in
the village and he said, yeah, he said, it's in
the building over here, and they blocked it up. And
they had actually put it in this building to hide
it and blocked and bricked up in the building. And
(13:38):
the guy knocked the wall down. He bought the building
and knocked the wall down, and there the Maserati set
worth something like three million, and uh, you know, he
had to pay tax, had to pay the city, you know,
all that kind of stuff. But he got the car
out and made big money. And the last one, uh
well next to the last Art and Senna, who was
killed in a Formula one crash and uh I think
(14:00):
ninety three or four. Anyway, Arden Cinna was Brazil's god.
I don't know how to describe him. He was like
he was a big star, and he was their biggest
star in Brazil. He was like, say Brad Pitt, Brett Farre,
you know, a combination of these guys.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
He got Grady and Jordan combined.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, good way to describe it. Anyway, he
was killed in Formula one crawd. The entire country of
Brazil shut down for a week for his for his
in his memory. It was crazy. Anyway, He's got a
helmet that he wore in the ninety two season and
a guy crashed and Art Senna crash, stopped his car,
(14:43):
jumped out and pulled the guy out of the fire
and saved his life. And he was wearing this helmet.
That helmet's going to go for one hundred and fifty
to two hundred grand so it's coming up in an auction.
If it didn't already, I don't know if it did
or not according to this deal, hadn't you? And then
finally my favorite, the sixty six Batmobile, the original uh
Batmobile from the sixty six one with you know Bruce
(15:04):
Wayne's Uh that was an actor. In fact, I talked
to him one time, Wes Adam West uh interviewed him
when really cool this sharp guy. I got he was
in his nineties and was still sharp.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
It sold the original Batmanville and hours a couple of them,
but they considered this one the actual Batmobile for me.
And that car went for and they showed the guy
and he said, I don't know, I gotta have it,
and I don't have that much money, but I gotta
have it.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
So one way figure out how that's the one that's
the era where it looks kind of like ah, I
Paula right.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
It was.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I forgot what it started out as. It was built
by a car customizer guy out there, Bears, George Bears.
He built the Batmobile, I think the Monster Coach, several
of those cars that he did, you know, uh, maybe
even the Monkey Mobile and you know those cars all
still exist, all of them do that. He was at
(15:59):
think Batman, Bille says, and I think it was either
an impala. I think you're right. It started out as
an Impala and then they modified it, you know, obviously
to like but all that crap works on it. Man,
he said, all that the lights and all that stuff.
Still it was still operating.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
So yeah, it'd be fun to like, if you know,
if money was absolutely no issue whatsoever, it'd be fun
to have like one of each of the eras of
of the different Batmobiles.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
That'd be cool. I know somebody, Baul Oh, who's the magician,
the famous magician. He bought one from the Val Kilmer deal.
It was kind of you know, cool looking batmobile. And
then when he found out there was like three or four,
he sued the auctioneer because the auctioneer told him, now,
this is the only one, and there was four or five,
and all those movie and TV cars there's usually four
(16:48):
or five except for the Dukes of Hazzard, and there
was three hundred chargers. They used three hundred something chargers
that they used for the dukes of Hazard that they destroyed.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Yeah, they just tore those to pieces every episode Snyder lives.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
In San Antonio and he has one of the one
of the original ones. He still he kept one, so
it actually knew him.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
So all right, so I'm my sources are suggesting aka
Wikipedia that that was a Lincoln concept cards Lincoln. Yeah,
they turned into the sixty six Batmobile there.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah, that was it. I know. It was a big,
big limo kind of deal. All right, you're listening to
the Bama Brown podcasts on the iHeart Network. Thank you.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Here's another good scammer guy in the Czech Republic. He
had the uh he had the funeral home there. Uh,
he had eighty eight a total of eighty eight women
that he used the same coffin for ah, when they
get when they die, he puts them in his coffin.
They just one and then they go and bury him

Speaker 2 (05:13):
So, yeah, I would imagine. And with the first of all.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Why is it women, I don't know. I don't know
why it's only women.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah, I might not want to do any further investigation.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
There as much of a racket.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
As funeral homes and coffin prices and all of that is, Yeah,
you're already screwing people over with the original cost. So
then it's almost like a double scam. It's like you
screwed them over at the beginning with the original cost,
and now you're scamming them by not even giving them
the overpriced coffin that you charged them in the first place.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
That's absolutely they don't even get that. Don't even get
a box, is it? Then that's eighty eight canceled checks
by the way just came to me. That's terrible. Please
don't hate me. Hey it's Puma. He he makes me
do that. All right. So here's the top five. I
want to make sure you get this right. These are
the top five things that you keep just in case.
(06:07):
That's your deal, just in case we need them. I'm
gonna keep these. There's one of those guy Co commercials
where the guy goes, uh, you know, he's don't be
your parents. You know those are great commercials. You don't
want to be your parents. But the guy goes, I'll
never forget. The guy goes have he has like two
feet of wal trim, and he goes, hey, you never
(06:28):
know where you're gonna need molding. And the guy goes,
I know it's never and he throws in the dumpster.
And the guy like, oh, exaccurate. But here's the five items.
Let's start with number five. Clothes, all kinds of clothes
that you think, well, someday I'll need that. No, just
take them and put them in the box, donate them
to charity. Somebody that ain't got something would be glad
to have it. This is one here. Device cords. Device
(06:50):
cords are we've got drawers, device cords that we don't
have the devices, nor do we know where the stuff
even you know what it would even plug in to
get all that. Throw all that out. Donate it. Don't
donate it because they nobody's gonna want it. Gifts. People
that have given you gifts, go ahead and donate. There's
a senior center near you and people can get some gifts.
(07:13):
Number two another big one, owners manuals. You are never
going to look at another owner's manual after you assembled
or bought or whatever it was. You looked at it
at the time you bought it, and you're never gonna
look at it again. Just just recycle it well if.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
You ever needed it again. They're all available online now, like.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
You call all online.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yeah, I found an owner's manual for like a nineteen
eighties whirlpool. Apply it like because they're all available out
there now.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
You just got to dig a little.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
But you can't get parts for it. So why even
bother any parts are not available. I'm finding that more
and mores I do Model A forwards, more and more parts.
I buy all the U stuff I can get and
fix it up. But you know I've got four of
them right now, and you can't. It's a lot of
young people don't like a Model A because he's too
hard to drive, and he's you know, they like muscle cars,
(08:05):
but the old ones like that even though it makes
street rods out of them. But an original man of
the parts are starting to get then in some of
the parts supplier guys. And then last, let me get
the last item. Kitchen items. Go in your kitchen drawers,
look in there at all the stuff that you don't
ever use, and they say, psychologically when you get rid
of this crap, recycling if you can, but otherwise dump it.
(08:27):
The psychologic effect of having it neat and organized. And
there's something to that funk sway and all that you
know with jet it was Japan, whether you know all
of their culture, the minimalist thing is something to that.
I'm telling you, man.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, I as much as I don't want to admit it,
embracing it later in life, you can absolutely see an impact.
You can feel the effects of it. I mean we
you know, like obviously it's just me and you know,
my roommate, my wife here, so we don't have you know,
anything we collect is not because we're keeping it for
(09:05):
kids or anything like that it's us being hoarders, and
the kitchen is the one thing that we probably rotate
through the most of of like like this pan is
is bad, We'll just buy a new one, like you know,
like I remember my grandma would still have the same uh,
(09:25):
you know, a stovetop pan that she would make everything
in from the nineteen seventies till like last week.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Like yeah, but everything was made with love.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Man, it was all that flavor and that was yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Well, sometimes it's okay to just uh, let's let's replace somethings.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I wonder if people, like every one of us has
gotten cancer going, I wonder where we got it from,
Probably from that kind of shit, you know, like coming
off of the chemicals that they made, you know, eighty
years ago. All right, here's illegal baby names. You were
talking about Hitler a minute ago the Nazis in Germany.
I said, there, thinking, uh, I looked it up. Yeah,
Adolf Hitler is illegal. You cannot name your kid Adolf Hitler.
(10:06):
Uh And I think that's both names. You can name
him made off there, you can name him Hitler. Well,
I don't even think he named Hi Hitler anybody. He
can't name him off Hitler. I looked at some of
the others, Santa Claus, Uh, Majesty, let's see Messiah the
room in number three. Oh, that's about some rapper, I guess.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And then Queen King Jesus Christ. I think it's it. Yeah,
these are all illegal. Uh. I think I knew a
stripper named Majesty. I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
It just kind of yeah, it just but I'm familiar
with her work.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yeah, I don't remember a lot Cowboy Linda. I'm just
running down down the list in my head. And there's
a bunch in there for sure. Uh and oh uh
had the had some auction cars? Was gonna take about
this is kind of cool. They had a GT forty.
You know, Indianapolis we did this. This is kind of
follow up on some show we did nothing long ago
(11:09):
where Indianapolis Museum had to sell or were selling a
bunch of their cars. Oh yeah, that weren't Indy. You
weren't related to Indy. They had a GT forty that
went for thirteen million dollars or real GT forty four
versus Ferrari. One of those GT forty's thirteen MEI and
they say that's the highest paid on one of those,
they had a nineteen oh eight Mercedes race car that
(11:34):
went for eight million. That's pretty impressive. What does that
look like?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Is that like the old silver Arrow?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I don't even know. I don't know. It wasn't a
picture of it in nineteen o eight. I mean that's
basically a box wheels on it.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Really even that's exactly what it like.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
You know, they had they had a Auto Union. It
was what they called the the the old days. All
the Union built UH race cars and they were in
Formula one. And when Germany invaded came remember the country
that made the Auto Union I want to say Russia,
but that's not right. Anyway, the guy that owned one
(12:12):
of them, he took it apart and hid it in
parts all around the country in different salt mines and
under houses. But he knew the Germans and sees it
if they got ahold of it, sure and and uh
and so they never they never found it. And then
after the war he went around and gathered all the
parts that put it together and they had it on
display and it sold for like eight million itself, as
(12:33):
you know, but he had that history of being taken apart.
The craziest one I remember there was a maser It
was a Maserati. I have a book. It's a great book.
Look up. Uh, I can't. I'll think of the name
in a minute. Uh. It was about barn finds and
uh there was a Mercede Mercy, uh Maserati that was
(12:57):
rumored to be hidden in this town in Italy. And
this guy went to Italy and the town was where
they filmed The Godfather and when when Michael was walking
around that little town and he talks about all of
you know, the different uh uh it was, Oh, it
was this Cobra in the Barn is the name of
the book. Cobra in the Barn. There's a bunch of
(13:17):
stories of barn find cars. It's really great. There's a
couple of those books. But the uh, the guy finally
found one of these people who were still alive in
the village and he said, yeah, he said, it's in
the building over here, and they blocked it up. And
they had actually put it in this building to hide
it and blocked and bricked up in the building. And
(13:38):
the guy knocked the wall down. He bought the building
and knocked the wall down, and there the Maserati set
worth something like three million, and uh, you know, he
had to pay tax, had to pay the city, you know,
all that kind of stuff. But he got the car
out and made big money. And the last one, uh
well next to the last Art and Senna, who was
killed in a Formula one crash and uh I think
(14:00):
ninety three or four. Anyway, Arden Cinna was Brazil's god.
I don't know how to describe him. He was like
he was a big star, and he was their biggest
star in Brazil. He was like, say Brad Pitt, Brett Farre,
you know, a combination of these guys.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
He got Grady and Jordan combined.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, good way to describe it. Anyway, he
was killed in Formula one crawd. The entire country of
Brazil shut down for a week for his for his
in his memory. It was crazy. Anyway, He's got a
helmet that he wore in the ninety two season and
a guy crashed and Art Senna crash, stopped his car,
(14:43):
jumped out and pulled the guy out of the fire
and saved his life. And he was wearing this helmet.
That helmet's going to go for one hundred and fifty
to two hundred grand so it's coming up in an auction.
If it didn't already, I don't know if it did
or not according to this deal, hadn't you? And then
finally my favorite, the sixty six Batmobile, the original uh
Batmobile from the sixty six one with you know Bruce
(15:04):
Wayne's Uh that was an actor. In fact, I talked
to him one time, Wes Adam West uh interviewed him
when really cool this sharp guy. I got he was
in his nineties and was still sharp.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
It sold the original Batmanville and hours a couple of them,
but they considered this one the actual Batmobile for me.
And that car went for and they showed the guy
and he said, I don't know, I gotta have it,
and I don't have that much money, but I gotta
have it.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
So one way figure out how that's the one that's
the era where it looks kind of like ah, I
Paula right.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
It was.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I forgot what it started out as. It was built
by a car customizer guy out there, Bears, George Bears.
He built the Batmobile, I think the Monster Coach, several
of those cars that he did, you know, uh, maybe
even the Monkey Mobile and you know those cars all
still exist, all of them do that. He was at
(15:59):
think Batman, Bille says, and I think it was either
an impala. I think you're right. It started out as
an Impala and then they modified it, you know, obviously
to like but all that crap works on it. Man,
he said, all that the lights and all that stuff.
Still it was still operating.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
So yeah, it'd be fun to like, if you know,
if money was absolutely no issue whatsoever, it'd be fun
to have like one of each of the eras of
of the different Batmobiles.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
That'd be cool. I know somebody, Baul Oh, who's the magician,
the famous magician. He bought one from the Val Kilmer deal.
It was kind of you know, cool looking batmobile. And
then when he found out there was like three or four,
he sued the auctioneer because the auctioneer told him, now,
this is the only one, and there was four or five,
and all those movie and TV cars there's usually four
(16:48):
or five except for the Dukes of Hazzard, and there
was three hundred chargers. They used three hundred something chargers
that they used for the dukes of Hazard that they destroyed.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Yeah, they just tore those to pieces every episode Snyder lives.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
In San Antonio and he has one of the one
of the original ones. He still he kept one, so
it actually knew him.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
So all right, so I'm my sources are suggesting aka
Wikipedia that that was a Lincoln concept cards Lincoln. Yeah,
they turned into the sixty six Batmobile there.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah, that was it. I know. It was a big,
big limo kind of deal. All right, you're listening to
the Bama Brown podcasts on the iHeart Network. Thank you.
