In this wildly entertaining episode of The Bama Brown Experience, Bama and Puma dive headfirst into a whirlwind of outrageous stories, unexpected history lessons, and laugh-out-loud moments that only this duo could deliver. From a bizarre inheritance that hinges on monthly dog selfies to Bama’s unforgettable cameo on The Simple Life—yes, the one where Paris Hilton’s diamond-clad Chihuahua upstaged everyone—this episode is packed with personality and punchlines.

Bama recounts the time he screamed like the 40-Year-Old Virgin during an on-camera back waxing, while Puma keeps the laughs rolling with tales of Tinder’s new “height filter” and the absurdity of online dating metrics.

But it’s not all laughs—there’s a jaw-dropping historical twist as Puma shares the story of Harrison Ruffin Tyler, the recently deceased grandson of America’s 10th president, John Tyler. That’s right—grandson. The timeline will blow your mind.Other highlights include:
  • The most reliable car brands (spoiler: America didn’t make the list)
  • The physics of being 7'8" in a world built for 5'10"
  • Bama’s near-death experience in a charity stock car race—and how letting go of the wheel saved his life
Whether you’re here for the nostalgia, the nonsense, or the nuggets of wisdom, this episode delivers it all with Bama’s signature charm and Puma’s quick wit. Tune in now—and don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs a good laugh (or a reminder that even presidents had wild family trees).

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey, folks, Bama Brown with the Bama Brown Experience on
the iHeart Podcast Network, thousands of your listening. I think
that's more of a reflection on you than me and Puma.
Puma say, hi, whom has the Sports Cave?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Well, hello there, you're now.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Tonight your your regular show and then what is it
Wednesday or Thursday night? You're live again?

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Back live Wednesday night tonight. We're just catching up with
an audio version. So anywhere you get your podcast, just
search for the Sports Cave with Biggest Puma.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Prefer you use.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
That iHeart app, but anywhere you listen, we appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
It's the number one sports podcast and all of iHeart
and everybody listens to him, and he's very kind to
produce this show for me, try to help me get
through this. I saw where a lawyer had reported that
a man had received a large sum of money and
an inheritance and the man left, I'm screwing this up.

(01:00):
I died. But he the man got the inheritance, but
he had to take care of the guy's dog. So
he got the dog and the money. But he has
to send a new and different picture. According to the attorney,
he has to send a new and different picture of
the dog every month. In order to get the money,
he has to continue to show that he is babying

(01:20):
that dog and you'll checkups. So I mean, this is
lastly in other words, you know, if he wants to
keep getting the big bucks.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
It makes me wonder. I mean, what kind of dog like?
Is it a Chihuahua like Little Easy?

Speaker 1 (01:32):
I looked everywhere and couldn't find out what kind of
dog it was. But I bet it's the healthiest dog
in the I would hope. So.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
I mean, if all I had to do to cash
an inheritance check was take care of a dog each month,
that would be the most well taken care of dog
in the world.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Absolutely. In my time on radio and television, I did
an episode of The Simple Life one time with with
Paris Hilton. I was on there with Paris and Nicole.
Had they filmed, Oh yeah, it's a second season, first episode. Uh,
And so they were waxing my back. Now, my back
was not that hairy, but there was a little bit

(02:13):
of hair and they waxed my back. And uh. Because
we did a thing on the air one time and
the local people that knew people for extras and stuff.
They had remembered that from the radio show. So that's
how I got on the show. Paris. I get it, man,
I could see where if she asked you to do something,
you do it. Because she was absolutely stunning, gorgeous. It

(02:35):
was unbelievable, but really she was, and she was nice.
But Nicole was the funny one. Nicole and I hit
it all great. Anyway, they waxed my back and I
scream and they you know, we we we shot uh,
we must have shot twenty scenes and then I was
literally on the show for one minute. But look it up.

(02:56):
So it's on you know YouTube out there, Bama on
uh uh The Simple Life Austin uh the uh. But
the thing that I was I was going to tell
you about this was while they were filming this show.
You know, Paris had a chihuahua that had a real
diamond necklace.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
I remember that.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, yeah, and this and this ext and this guy,
this camera guy walks by and he goes, hold this
friggin dog for me. And this was the second to
the last episode of filming for them, so they were
sick of Paris and sick of the animal. And so
I'm sitting there holding this chihua that's got this necklace.
I'm looking at this, this diamond necklace, and I'm thinking,

(03:35):
your necklace is worth more than I am. You're this
is the most the expensive dog in the world. And
I'm sitting there whold him, you know, and it and
he was shaking. The whole hand is shaken, you know.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
So but uh, he's wearing jewelry more expensive than any
piece of any article of clothing or accessory that you'll.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Ever absolutely and then when they waxed my back and
they put the thing and they pulled it off, that
it was just like it was like the forty year
old Virgin. I screamed. I was like ah. And then
and then Nicole got down in front of me after
it and she goes, do you want me to do
your balls next?

Speaker 3 (04:09):
No, I think I've had enough for one day.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
That was all that was. Oh God, Dad, hurt Uh
tell me tell the story you were telling me off air.
I want you to tell about this on the air.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Oh yeah, So yesterday after we were talking about the
Battle of Britain, pilot that passed away at one hundred
and five, it reminded me, are you familiar if you
ever heard the name Harrison Ruffin Tyler, does that do anything?

Speaker 1 (04:39):
I gotta know that name, but I can't think what
it was tied to exactly.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
So it's a name that would pop up every year
or so for the last decade, every time he would
celebrate a birthday. It was a it was a big
social media post.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
It was it was something with.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
The president right the president the.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Way back to our tenth president, President Tyler. Harrison Ruffin
was Tyler's living grandson who was still alive until a
couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
No, you're kidding. He was the tenth president.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
The tenth president of our grand possible grandson. So it
was a two hundred and thirty five year span between
the two of them. But you know, like you remember
back John Tyler left the White House in eighteen forty five.
He ended up having a son at sixty three years

(05:35):
old after and then that guy had a son at
seventy five years ago.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Boy got nothing on Clinton exactly. So Tyler had seventy
five years old kid.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Oh my, nineteen twenty eight, Tyler, John Tyler's son had
Harrison Ruffin Tyler, who was still a direct grandson of
our tenth president.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
From eighteen forty five.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
So he just so, how old is? How old had
he been? He just died?

Speaker 3 (06:08):
You said he was he passed away at ninety six
years old.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Okay, so yeah, I could.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
I mean, wow, it was a two hundred and thirty
five year span between our tenth.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Brad or granddad, dad and son.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah. Yeaht wold pretty wild.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
So yeah, I fortunately were one out for Harrison because
we won't get the annual reminder that we still have
a living grandson of one of our first presidents.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
You know, you just gotta you gotta hand it to him.
They go out with a bang. That's horrible, Washington. That
didn't mean that came out wrong. I saw that's that's
a cool story. I didn't realize it was a president
when you were telling me earlier. I was like, I don't,
I don't, couldn't make the connection. Tender is And I

(06:55):
wonder if you heard about.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
This transition from horny presidents to tender.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
You know me, man, I don't care.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
When I've written down in the nineties.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
It's funny. I'll explain to people that are listening, like,
because I've had how do you plan that show? There's
no planning I just when I see something that's interesting,
I write it in this notebook and then I just
go down the list. I'm not trying to worry about it.
It's ain't radio anymore. I'm trying to seg and by
the way, I'm not on radio anymore. This is all
I'm doing, is this this podcast along with Puma.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
But when I see something that, I jump in there
and I say, well, pumas like that, or maybe you
would or maybe would anyway. Uh. But I saw this
tenders adding a height feature, So everybody was always worried
about you know, is she gonna think I'm too short?
Now she'll know for sure that you're trying to pull
one on her as you do this tender thing.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
You know, look, man, as a as a six foot
four grown ass man, this would have been nice to
have maybe twenty years go.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
But did you six four? Now I'm six foot, so
I never had an issue. Six four is girls not
like a guy that's too tall? Is that possible?

Speaker 3 (08:08):
So I've been told, I've been told by highly informed
sources that the six three six four range is pretty
ideal because it's fall.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Enough to be tall. But once you get to and
I've seen it.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
I mean, I've got buddies that I played basketball with
that are you know, six sixty six, six eight some
closer to seven foot. And there's absolutely a loss of
quality of life if.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
You riding in cars and just ridden in anything.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
And I think that number is right where I'm at,
because like my buddy who is legitimately six' six has
a much worse life day to day bumping into stuff.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
And having to avoid THAN i do at like six
four sixty. Five so but here's the other.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Thing what tender has no ability to verify any of
This if five nine dudes that are listing themselves as
six two and then they show up to the date
and their little tiny thumbs come.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Back at The robert De niro hills on the, back you.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Know or it's the rock boots to get a little.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Bit uh, yeah see six. Foot i've never had one
way or the. OTHER i never ad. Anybody OH a
lot of girls are Like i'm tall and then uh.
Uh they had a midget stripper one. TIME i seemed
like a giant to.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Her but about to, SAY i think it's also you
know six foot In San, antonio and and you're a giant.
Six YEAH i, am and you're you're a freak that
stands out and every like there's there's not a whole
lot of people over. Uh you, know WHEN i When
i'm in public over here AND i see someone taller than,
me it shocks. Me it makes me feel Like i'm

(09:49):
a little kid like saying, like, OH i bet he's a.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Proactic it's, like, no he's just, tall tall.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Guy. YEAH i saw WHEN i was at the where
was That amal city and they have one of those,
uh one of those, ripleys and they got that statue
of that guy that was seven Eighty Robert robert yeah
woodlow he uh, man that's that's a crazy. Statue when
you go and stand next to, it you're looking up going,

(10:16):
wow that's just that's and you can't you think about
that poor. Guy you know everyone he didn't fit in.
ANYTHING i, mean his day to day was just you,
know and he died at like thirty.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Something so and also he lived at a time like,
now you, know like here In San, antonio Like wimby
has grown a couple of. Inches he's seven five seven six, now,
Right but it's modern, times so there's, more you, know
like that poor dude from The Guinness book, era like
there was nothing that was built for, him and everything
would have you know the cost of custom building something

(10:49):
to accommodate. Him it's just nowhere, near nowhere near what
it as easy as it is to be tall these,
DAYS i would, Try, yeah, tender have we gotten the
headline yet when guys can filter based on women's weight
or height or body? Dimension, no are we just doing

(11:12):
this to the?

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Men, yeah just to the, men because we're not Gonna
we're never gonna go that to.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
That just wanted to to see if there wasn't another
headline to follow.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
