What’s the most embarrassing phase you’ve ever gone through—and would you admit it? That’s the question Bama Brown and Puma tackle in this laugh-out-loud episode of The Bama Brown Experience. From Space Jam shorts worn for six straight months to a Winnie-the-Pooh-inspired rap group called Poo Daddy and the Notorious TIG, this conversation dives headfirst into the quirkiest, cringiest trends we all thought were cool at the time. Bama and Puma share hilarious personal stories and listener-submitted gems, including:
  • A girl who wore a cat collar with a bell to school because “it was cool.”
  • A guy who faked a British accent for an entire year—even around friends who knew better.
  • Someone who handed out business cards reading “Knight in Shining Armor.”
  • And yes, the kid who wore a hot dog shirt every day for nearly a decade.
Along the way, Bama and Puma reflect on why these phases happen, how nostalgia shapes our identity, and why some trends are better left in the past. You’ll laugh, cringe, and maybe even remember your own awkward era.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Searching. Now you will see those guys. These guys are handsome,
They're true. They were athletes in school and they're still
athletic looking. They're incredible.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
It's been a minute, Bama, I'm putting forty now. It's
been a minute. Those college memories are fading by the day.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
So I got you, brother. Wow, all right, I want
to do one whole show on this movie. I don't
think about it. Uh, these are well, maybe not that long. Uh,
these are embarrassing phases that people went through. They ask,
like a group of ten thousand, what is some stuff

(01:22):
that you did? What was your phase that you went through.
My old partner.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Rob, he watched The Wild Wild West and bought a
Wild wild West vest and jacket and warred in the
sixth grade for like like two months.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah, I said, did you get a lot of ladies
of that? He goes, You know I didn't. He said
it was almost anti ladies, you know, like.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Horse Field that any horse Field, I.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Got the girl force Field that My whole life is
his face?

Speaker 2 (02:00):
What I use?

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Oh yeah, I want to try kissing this all right.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
I can make fun of him because when I was
about that same age, a little movie named Space Jam
came out, and I wore Space Jam shorts for about
six months straight.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
They making a two Space Jam Eva it came in passed.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Okay, Yeah, Ron was the vehicle behind that. I have.
I have school pictures where I'm wearing Space Jam shorts
and sock pulled up to my knee. It's I think
I can relate to your old buddy.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
And so here I'm just good. There's ten here and
I like them all and I just think they're great.
So here was a guy that had a Winnie the
Pooh based rap group. They were called I Want to
make Sure I get right. Uh, they were called Pooh

(03:00):
Daddy and the Notorious t I G. And it was
Winny of the Poo Poo Pooh Daddy and Notorious t
I G.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
That's one of those ideas that probably sounded really really
good when you first thought of it, but you should
have figured out pretty quickly that that was that was
going to be something you probably.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
They wrote their own rap songs with their biggest hit,
now these are little kids. Of course, honey rhymes with money.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Okay, that's not bad. It was not bad, not bad.
I don't think. I don't think I want to hear
said song.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
But the title. I loved the title, all right. I
thought that was a great one. Here's in here's number two. Uh.
They the girl wore a cat collar with a bell
on it to school, worred around for a while with
a cat collar with a bell because quote she thought
it was cool.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Uh, look, there's there were there were a few goth
kids I grew up with that would you know, randomly
have a dog collar or a cat Collin. I always
thought to myself, what exactly what, what message exactly are
you trying to convey here?

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah? What is now? The the cat people? You know,
the furries crazy? Yeah, it's just you. You feel sorry
for people. I mean, if you're a furry and you're listening, nah,
that's not happening. Nobody's listening.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I can't imagine. I don't know. I would love I
would be tickled to death if I found out that
you Bama Brown big in the furry community.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Oh, it would be awesome. What it the fury? I
think there was an ad in the Chronicle when a
furry daddy answered the yeah you know Frey daddy in
the okay number three uh in the ninth grade. This
guy acted like and played like he was a werewolf

(04:59):
for I guess these are based on.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
The movie you know, the oh yeah, teen Wolf Michael whatever.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah. I don't know, but he thought he was enacted
like a were wolf.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Again, that was quite the force field as well.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah, I'm sure the ladies crazy. I could tell you.
Another thing ladies didn't go for was the NASCAR jackets
back in the seventies. You know, and when NASCAR got popular,
I didn't have one, you know. But you know when
when before uh in the seventies had a petty blue
uh plymouth jacket and uh, I'm going to tell you

(05:38):
I had no ladies in my pit crew.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
That's unfortunate. But the jacket sounds awesome. I bet it
was amazing. I bet it.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Every word you use it is so opposite what it was.
I think my dad got it when he got a
full tank of gas one time or something. Here, give
that kid this jacket.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
But I loved it. And I wore man pitty blue
with plymouth on the back, and.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Like the jacket my grandma gave me that was bought
with Marlborough points.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
I had a comedian buddy of mine in his act
he said, you ever look at that Marlborough catalog. He goes,
there's a river raft in there. He goes, how in
the world are you gonna blow up a river raft
when you've photed up Marlboros.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Up? It doesn't have to make sense.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Just he would go, is anybody else tasted metal? Who
was that to do that?

Speaker 1 (06:51):
One? That was a great That was a great joke.
I remember that. Uh, here's a guy it went around
and narrated everything around him.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Oh, I bet he everyone loved his company.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Oh, don't you know he was probably a loan a lot.
He didn't get to narrate a lot because he was
a loan a lot. Anyway, I like that idea, though.
Here's first grade. Uh they I want to make sure
they wore Here's a guy from first grade to freshman
year in high school, ready for this, wore a hot

(07:24):
dog shirt every day. Oh my god, every single day
wore a hot dog shirt.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
I mean that's damn near a decade.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Of wearing the same kind of shirt.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
I would hope he either has multiple copies of it
or he's.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Thinking easy to shop for. You know, hey, hot dog shirt?
No kid who? That reminds me of a joke. This
guy didn't have any arms and legs, and his folks
went on vacation and they come home and they go, hey,
we got you a gift, and he went, I hope
it's not another.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
That makes a good one. That's a good one. It's horrible, horrible.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Here's somebody they said, I went an entire year faking
a British accent, even around people I knew, they knew
I wasn't British. You remember Lindsay Lohan came back from
me in England and was doing that and heavy britt
and you know when did she turned British?

Speaker 2 (08:27):
As there's a uh there's an artist musician that my
wife listens to and when she talks it's very like
southern North Carolina kind of right an accent, but when
she sings it's British. Oh that's crazy, it's pretty wild.

(08:47):
It's good. I mean, it's not bad.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
I've heard of someone having a stroke in coming back
with an accident.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, you hear that every now and then, or having
surgery and.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Uh you have an Australian accent.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Being like fluent and Mandarin. Yeah, yeah, that's those stories
always freak me the hell out.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah. Absolutely, yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
I don't want to think about nogging me.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, where it could pick something up my brain and
you're looking straight at Meuma. This area here from here
to here is boobs, all right, right, see where my
hands are covering up.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
That's boobs for those that can't see. That takes up
quite a bit of space.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Almost my entire and over here in this corner is cars.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yeah, a little hot rods and then pretty good chunk.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
There's a mole or something. There's like a place right
here and that's this show. Let's work. That's how much.
That's what it's divided. But this right boobs, boobs, boobs,
let's go where we were. Oh I love this. Here's someone

(09:58):
that wore charcoal to paste toothpaste and then with flash
smiles at people with their teeth completely black black.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Oh yeah, that would be That would would freak me
the hell out if somewhere a random Yeah, that is awesome.
That's the one. That's the one that I would actually
I could see myself doing that, just.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
You doing it. I could see you easily doing it,
and granted and everybody you saw.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Peater just hanging out the side of my mouth as
I got.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
That. That would be awesome. I hope you do that someday.
I want to be there. Uh. Here's somebody handed out
business cards and with it on it it said night
in shining armor. That was their handles anywhere.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
That's not going.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
This is bizarre. This girl convinced people that she had
a twin and then would and then would wear different.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Clothes, split personality type of deal.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
And try to convince Bill she had a twin. That's
just you know you want to. I mean, these are
phases that people are going through, So who knows what
brought that on.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Some level of trauma. Uh probably directed that idea.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Absolutely, these are all being great. One more, here's someone
that loved the Three Musketeers movies so much they wore
bluer cloak everywhere for months.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Hey, I've seen some of these kids that wear the
cape everywhere. Yeah, for multiple years.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
You remember, Oh was it role models? Movie? Role models
were he said, Oggie, don't wear People don't respond well
to people want a cape. Don't wear a cape. Yeah,
people don't like that. We like you though. If you
got a cape, or if you did some weird deal,
good for you. I mine was the car jacket. I'm
trying to think of what else I did for a while.

(11:59):
It that I can't think of anything. I'm sure I
did some weird shit in my whole life.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
I can imagine.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Oh yeah, you can imagine. Yeah, I was president of
the model club. There's another one. We didn't get a
lot of the ladies in a lot of no way. Yeah, shocking.
Are you shocked? Well now that I'm shocked, Puma, let's
go ahead and go. You guys are Live Tonight. Listen
to the listen of Sports Cave with Puma and m
