In this wildly entertaining episode of The Bama Brown Experience, Bama and Puma dive headfirst into everything from Harvard’s take on marriage to the great banana split conspiracy (spoiler: Bama still claims he invented them). With his signature wit and unfiltered storytelling, Bama shares personal tales of love, loss, and legal threats — including a hilarious shoutout to his daughter, a no-nonsense divorce attorney.

You’ll also hear:
  • A fiery debate on the top tourist destinations — and why Bama never made it past #2.
  • A surprisingly heartfelt discussion on friendship as the foundation of marriage.
  • A chilling (and hilarious) take on AI blackmail and the rise of the machines.
  • Behind-the-scenes stories about Johnny Depp, Amber Heard, and a butchered 1950 Mercury.
  • The most bizarre self-defense tip you’ll ever hear — involving vomit.
Whether you’re here for the laughs, the life lessons, or the lunacy, this episode delivers it all with Bama’s trademark charm and Puma’s grounded counterpoints. Don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs a laugh (or marriage advice… or both).

Not yet.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Uh So, speaking of getting wound up, So yesterday I
got all wound up about the banana splits that I invented,
by the way, don't I won't start down that path again. However,
we were talking about the top eight tourist sites for
where you go if you hadn't been. Grand Canyon was
number one. I got so worked up. I didn't even
get to number one on the list.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
I was I'm glad you went back to it, though,
because I realized yesterday after we finished, I was like,
I don't. I don't even think we finished the damn
list we were on because we started talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
I went off on that banana splits.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
I invented the banana splits and they stole it from me,
and I'll just leave it. I won't start back down
that path again.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
I promise you.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Have changed the Wikipedia page where it shows that Bama
Brown is you do that?

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Can you heck it?

Speaker 1 (01:48):
And that would be awesome invented by Bama Brown?

Speaker 2 (01:51):
And Yo.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, I think we need to start getting, if nothing else,
just to help your legal case.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Bringing on Hannah Barbar. I'm sure they don't have an
A turn two or two.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Well, they won't outspend you in the courtroom. Yeah, but
of course everyone knew that number one was gonna be
Grand Canyon.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
So yes, I didn't even need to get to that anyway.
All right, So if you're thinking about getting married, it
was a guy who was a Harvard professor and he's
researched marriage. Uh and he said, I his name is
doctor Peter Attica or whatever. Anyway he uh uh he

(02:29):
has He said this his description of marriage. What is
the number one thing to keep a marriage successful? Now
I've had four uh one, two real ones and then
too common law and of course always when my daughter
is a divorce attorney.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
So I said, well, those two don't count. She goes,
I'm make them some just count.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
I brought careful you get get me in the court.
I'll have it all your fault and.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
You'll be living in your car. I was like, mean minutes.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah, I got a mean daughter. Alex Thompson, attorney at
law there in Hayes County. Look it up, Alex Thompson.
Uh she will, She'll wreck your shit.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
That's her deal is.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Maybe she needs to brush up on copyright law to
help you with your banana splits claim.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
See I I should there should be I should get
her to do that. I mean, I paid for Baylor
Law and you know all the stuff that goes with it.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
All.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Right, anyway, here, you want to know what is a
good marriage? I can tell you. I bet Puma could
tell you.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
Well, for now, I'm still on number one, but give
it time. We're still we haven't even hit the decade market.
First of all, I think I would rather have a
marriage research project done by like a community college professor
than a Harvard guy.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Harvard Harvard hadn't exactly gotten the best reputation in the
last couple of years.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Last year alone has been well, they're idiots.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
I bet he says good communication.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
It's this is sort of along those lines. It's says
the goal of marriage is not passion but friendship. So
you've got to be friend And I'm best friends with
my wife thirty years.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
We've been to the other thirty years.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
It started out his friends, uh. And then you know
it was heat.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
On my part, not on her part obviously. You know,
I think she felt.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Sorry for me.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
And if she wanted to have a baby, she wanted
to have that attorney. So I think I was probably
you know, well he's down behalf.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
You were there.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Really there was nothing wrong with me Seemen, remember raising Arizona.
Something wrong with me, semen. I still I'll say that
with my daughter's sitting there and yelling, her screaming, I'll go,
I go, I know what's wrong with you, because it's
something wrong, wrong, criminally under anyway. So if you're looking

(04:49):
for trying to find a friend first, and then uh,
of course, why would.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
You do that to a good friend? Marriam and ruin
their lives Amber heard remember Amber went through that Johnny deal.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Now I don't remember this, but she she was from Austin,
and Bob Pickett swears that he goes, you and I
talked to her one time at the radio, say she
won some kind of beauty pat she I remember, you know,
gorgeous course.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
And she had married Johnny Depp or was dating Johnny
Depp then and uh, but Pickett said she and he
and I talked to her one on one for like
a in the hallway one day for an hour. I
don't remember any of that. But then when she was
in that trial with Johnny Depp, they just, you know,
they just they she came across as the worst person
in the world, and he came across as a hero.

(05:37):
I'm sure, the story is somewhere in between. But he
lived here and a buddy of mine, a car buddy
of mine, he wanted a fifty Mercury and he said, yeah,
I mean he wanted to he wanted to chop the
top and all that. You don't have a fifty style
And he said, Johnny Depp called him.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
He said, we were great friends.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
And he said, Johnny Depp calls him and says, hey,
I think I got the car. And he had told him.
He said, well, you need to get a dual action.
Sander's saying the paint off, and he said, I got
over there. Well, he went down and bought a grinder
with a grinder wheel, and he had ground all this
paint off this fifty mercury body. He said it was

(06:18):
just and he used like forty grid so it was
just like taking a grinder and grinding this entire car.
And he goes, He goes, Johnny, there's no I mean,
we're gonna have fifty pounds of bondo. Try to smooth
this thing out, you know, And he said, then you know,
he abandoned the project. But I remember that story from.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
When he was here.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Said he was really nice, but he was pretty much
high most of the time.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah, I got to say, I can. I can probably
guess how how he found himself in that position where
he's using a grinder.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
You don't know, but he got confused when sander and
grinder and just bought the thing up.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Interesting story.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
AI, according to the folks that made it and in
Google that they have tested this thing, AI will blackmail
you when threatened.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
They they put it. They input that to the.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
AI they were using Mada and in Google they said,
we have we're looking at a better what we think
is a better and cheaper AI or product I guess
for better lack of a better word, and that that
AI came back with, Well, if you do that, then
I'm going to release bad information that I have about

(07:35):
you that I'm telling you. Man, cyber that's that cyber
Dune and what was in the terminator cyber huh, Cybernet Cybernet. Remember,
so that's real company, that's real deal.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Man. Robots are going to kill us all man.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
So yeah, it's it's not it's not looking good for
the good guys. I'll just put it that way. It
feels like a very small amount of humans actually understand
the very large amount of concern we should have, and
the rest of us are busy making you know, AI

(08:12):
videos of a kangaroo holding a boarding pass waiting for
a plane. You know, it's like everyone else is enjoying
the silly aspect of AI while there potentially is some
major issues ahead.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
You know, you're just that reminded me of the thing
I heard this week and American Airlines pilot talking about
AI and you know, not being human. There was a
group of people that were going on a vacation and
they were waiting on their pregnant girl, or the girl
of the group, and she was doing the best she could,
but she couldn't get through the terminal fast enough, and

(08:48):
they were late for the plane, and they begged the
flight attendant or the lady at the gate, please hold it.
She's coming up the deal right now. But the reason
she was late was her connecting flight had been late
with the American Airliner. And so the flight attendant said,
I'm sorry, but we're gonna have to go.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
And this guy was standing.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
There and he heard the story and he goes, well,
he ain't going anywhere without me.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
He was a pilot. We're gonna wait on the pregnant lady.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
So we're not going nowhere, and you know, to get them,
get you connecting flights on time so that these people
will And he was letting that lady to gate. No,
you know, it's not my fault. I just fly a plane.
Y'all need to get your part.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Done, you know.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
And that's the pilots too, I mean when the connected
like they're they've got flights to get to, you know,
just like the just like the passengers. Good on him though,
for yeah, holding Yeah, he's like an industry that is
getting worse and worse at a faster rate than airlines.
I'm not sure that exists.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
I know they are the worst, Yeah, the worst.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
And at least uh you know, the most important part
of that is still the pilot. And if he has
got a decent heart to him or a decent soul,
maybe there maybe there is some redemption possible right there.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Now, when you read a story like that, and then
I follow it with this story, Okay, this happened in Kent, England.
You know, I always get these boneheads in there and Kent,
England on a beach there they had a beach brawl
with over one hundred people and a beach brawl. So
and here's the thing that's like, I saw a guy
they had to fight naked one time, and he goes,

(10:26):
give me a minute to put on some shorts. At least,
I don't, you know, I don't fight anybody junk hanging out.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
You know, we're not.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
I don't need I don't need to give you any
any easy weak points to attack.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Now here's a tip I'm gonna give you. John Madaney
to this day swears this is. He's a sports guy,
you know, Johnny, this is, he says, it's probably the
smartest thing I've ever told anybody. But if you're losing
in a fight, right, here's a tip. If you get
in a fight and you start losing, if you can
somehow get your finger in your throat and throw up anyone,

(10:58):
everyone will quit hit you. They will back off of you.
And while you're throwing up and they will immediate they don't.
They won't hit you again, they won't come.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Near you again.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
They will let you get on your all fours and
vomit your guts out and else, and you're done.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
It's over. I don't And so that feels like.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Some kind of uh, you know, some kind of like
instinctual survival reflex.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
I'm telling you.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
And when you're getting you go, well, that's hard to
do it. I'm telling you, when you're getting your ass kicked,
it's not as hard to get your.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Finger in your throat as you think you.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
You will figure out a way while you're getting your
head kicked in to go, and then they will. They
will back up, hands in the air, going, oh dog.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Come on man, you god damn.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
And then the guy inevitably somebody, man, you've you've screwed
that guy up.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
He's hurt, you know, yeah, and they'll leave.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
It's gonna make the guy that was beaten on you
feel even better about himself because, like, I beat that
guy so bad he's vomiting.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
But they will leave because they think you've given them
some kind of brain. You know, you've got to damage
or something, so they'll run off and leave you. I'm
telling you. It worked every time for me. I can't
fight for shit, but I got.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
A mouth on me in a lot of times. Well
what are you gonna do about it?

Speaker 1 (12:10):
And then later I figured out i'm at home, I go, yeah,
that's what that's what we did about it. It was
hit me, and they always go, I'm gonna kick your
ass first?

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Can do hit you an a kick? Eventually, maybe they do.
But I'm out of it and don't even know if
I got my ass yet.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
You know, but I got I've had to snop out
of me.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
Yeah, not as a metaphor as literally real. I'm hoping
my days of getting into potential ass beaten situations are
past me. I don't. I still believe I might have
one or two in me because I got a bit
of the red ass, and uh as society continues to

(12:51):
just make me angrier and angrier by the day, I
think eventually I'm gonna probably end up fighting someone in
an HB parking lot, but hopefully it's behind me.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
You know the best part about my deal, I'm sixty seven.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
If you attack me, it's a felony if you hit it.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Even if I hit you first, you can't hit me
back because it's a felony to hit an old person.
So that's But of course I've lost all the smart
ass in me. I don't really, I just like, yeah,
I don't care anymore, do whatever. It kind of connects
and so that they know that.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
So if you beat up an old guy, that's your
on you. You shouldn't do that, you know.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Hell, if they pushed me down, there's a good chance
I won't be able to get back up, you know.
And a lot of times i'd probably forget. What was
the joke the old man's sitting on the curve. I
told you that one where the old man's sitting on
the curve crying his eyes out and the guy goes,
what's wrong?

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Are you okay?

Speaker 1 (13:42):
And he goes, I'm ninety two years old and I'm
married at an infor maniac it's twenty three and she's
wearing me out. She's having sex with me three times
a day. And the guy goes, well, what's what's wrong?

Speaker 2 (13:54):
You know?

Speaker 1 (13:55):
So I can't remember where I live? Hell, whiskey down
one that that puma laugh. Let's stop right there. We
can't fix it any better than that. Mamma Brown and
