Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hi, everybody, Bama Brown with you in the Bamba Brown
Experience on the iHeart podcast Network. Thank you so much
for listening to us. Tell you friends about it. We
like to have a little fun. Me and the Big
Cat Puma. He has a sports cave and very popular
sports podcast. You're knocking out of park with their football man.
We I mean Mike's back. I mean, it's just everything's
(00:23):
happening out there right, Great, it's a good.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Time of year.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
For the sports talking head that thinks he knows everything's
there's something every day that's happening that completely throws you off.
I mean some of these college football upsets. The NFL
is as crazy as ever. So yeah, there is plenty,
plenty of sports to get to including I mean we're
(00:48):
less than a month. We're about three weeks away from
NBA basketball starting up again, to two weeks away from hockey,
so we cover it all. Come have fun, Come hang
out with us the sports Cave with Biggest Puma. Anywhere
you get your podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
We prefer you go to that iHeart and of course company. Yeah,
let's start out with a bonehead. Here's a Chef Valentino
luncheon his last name is Luncheon. He has to be
a chef.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
This guy us me of like in the old days
where it was Blacksmith, like it was because that was
what his name was. Or like when we used to
name give people last names based on their profession.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
You notice when we do the Boneheads and we know
their name, that means it went badly whatever they were doing. Well, yeah,
he Valentino had got things at the restaurant were kind
of tight and he needed money. He's in San Francisco.
Very famous chef by the way up there. Uh. In fact,
he's so famous that he robbed three banks in one
afternoon and they recognized him in the last bank, knew
(01:51):
he was a chef, knew where he worked, and told
the police and they went over there and he's cooking
in the in the prison now, I believe you. Uh,
that's not good for him. There's a cat running for
New York City Council and running as a Democrat. Leo.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
The cat probably better than what they got currently.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Well, they got that, you know, they got that one
guy ever, you know, the Muslim guy running. Everybody's all
worked up about him, but this is city council. The
cat is leading by the way right now in the polls.
Look me, it's New York.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
City, and it's also it's also a bunch of people
that are really fed up with how their government has
been working for their entire life. So really, honestly, a
cat can't be worse than what we already have.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I you know me, man, I'm totally in agreement. Here's
what I.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Got two cats laying behind me right now. One of
them would be better than a couple of the city
council than we have over here in San Antonio.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Here's Jordan Grundy. I just love when I get all
these all of these boneas Elvis. Here's Jordan Grundy of
Saint Louis. Just shoot, just bad decisions aver around. He
carjacked a car and it was two nuns and he
didn't realize. So he got in the car and they
had two nuns and when he looked back they were
(03:15):
Somebody saw it called the cops. Ends up in a
police chase and he crashes the car with the two
nuns in the in the back, and then he was arrested,
apologizing as much as he could. Tabsor you know, but
he said once he started chasing me. You know, I
couldn't just stop and get out. I would have you know.
So he's blaming the police for chasing me, you know there, well,
(03:35):
I mean the police.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
In his opinion, the police put the nuns life in danger.
It wasn't him stealing the car, it was the police
chasing him. I just can't imagine stealing. First of all,
I can't imagine stealing a car. But second, I can't
imagine turning, you know, because I'm a tall person. So
as soon as I get in the car, the first
thing I have to do is just the rear view mirror.
(03:57):
And I'm just imagining jumping in this car thinking I'm
about the hall lass to get away, and I had
just the rear view mirror, and I just see two
nuns sitting in the box through the mirror and just
be like, oh my god, Oh wait, sorry.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
God, yeah, sorry, God, Please don't. My friend Michael, and
I've got a lot of great crash and stories and
tickets and stuff, But my friend Michael, I'm gonna out him.
He was so drunk driving one night up in San
Francisco and he he police got after him and he
pulled over and sat there and waited and waited and
(04:34):
it was a flashing light at the red light.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Oh well, hey, look at least he got him. He
took himself. So he actually somehow did the right thing.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
He said, it kept flashing in the mirror, flashing behind him,
and he said, I just sat there in it's dark,
of course, and he goes, what's taking this guy so long?
And he's drunk as he could be, you know, he's
any closer and he's like, what is she was long?
And then he finally looked and he cleared up enough
to see the flash in red light from a street light.
(05:11):
Is that awesome? Here's Ah, this is a crazy story.
Uh engineers, and they say they're pretty close to having it.
If you didn't know this airplane safety, of course, big deal.
But there's over two hundred small airplane pilots, individual pilots
that have been saved from having a parachute that immediately
(05:36):
opens if they're small plane crashes. It start, you know,
if they run out of power or something and they're
over a city or something. Over two hundred pilots have
now used this parachute system small aircraft.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
You know, the parachute is a it's a parachute for the.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Plane or the whole plane. Oh, I'm with you. That's genius.
And there's like I said, there's over two hundred that
they've had to use it and it's saved their lives.
And you I've seen two videos of man, it's coming,
it's coming down just like a person and it lands,
and you know, of course damage is a plane and
then the planes are usually total, but at least they're
(06:12):
not dead, you know, yeh minor detail. Yeah, so, uh,
engineers that had been working on that or they they
are on their way. They said to developing air bags
for a plane or jet, so the entire jet would
have an air bag deployed before it hits the ground.
(06:34):
And they say, okay, obviously you know, anything to help,
but it would be better than just crashing into the ground.
But you have that thing, you know, if they can
level it out and that thing blows out like a
regular car air bag.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yeah, don't some of them, Like don't some planes have
that for like water landings that.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
They have it where Oh yeah, I think so like
this is this is this would be I mean it
covers all all of the yeah, yeah, the calb you know,
not the wings obviously, but it blow out and surround
the at least the around the bottom and sides of
the so it hits an air cushion, you know, instead
of And they say it's a possibility that in the
(07:14):
next twenty years they'd have it to wear. A plane
like that would crash, like I said, forty seven, and
you might, you might survive it instead of just you know,
hitting the ground.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Have you ever had the urge or desire to get
your private pilot's license.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I wanted to when I was young, and then when
I got diabetes, I couldn't. I couldn't do it. But
I've flown in a lot of World War Two aircraft,
you know. Yeah, I worked with the calf for a
long time and they I've been up in the B
seventeen twice. I've been in a lot of Texans and
then you know, I help I help them with the
Honor flight, you know, the veterans to fly to Washington,
(07:51):
and they rewarded me a couple of years ago. They
took me up into P fifty one Mustangs. Oh yeah,
it was uh is the e ticket ride? Man? It's
as good as you think it would be. Yeah, that
was awesome, and I didn't have a parachute, so he
couldn't do a complete role, but he had it at
about one hundred and ten degrees I mean, and it's
(08:12):
pulled in about four g's. We're going about three hundred
miles an hour. And he comes down over this field
and there's a cow sit standing in the field, and
he goes and he goes on the microphone and goes
over the his it like he's shooting this cow. You know.
It was it was awesome. It was so great and
(08:33):
maybe the best thing it's ever happened to me. I
was in next to my.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Daughter in marriage and ins of the things that a
man would enjoy. I mean, it was enjoy the birth
of their kids and earth.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, but I'm talking fast cars, airplanes, Yeah, you know,
automobiles like.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Lay mates, that kind of thing. That's all a whole
other category I had growing up.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
One of my best friends, his dad was a pilot
for American Airlines, and he also would take us up
in his small aircraft he had.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, and flash.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Forward a couple of years ago, my buddy actually finally
got his pilot's license, uh not to follow in his
dad's footsteps and work for American airlines, but just to
fly little small planes around Texas. He'd fly down to
Lahitas to play golf or fly up to the out
in West Texas to go hunting. And he asked me
(09:25):
a couple of years ago, like, hey, I can fly
to San Antonio, pick you up, and then we'll go
to Big Ben We'll go to Lahitas. And I was like,
absolutely not, dude, no, no chance. He's like, what are
you talking about. Used to ride with me and my
dad all the time. I was like, right, right, right,
because it was your dad, Like I know how crazy
you are.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Right, we grew up together.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I saw the dumb ship you did. I'm not getting
in a plane that you are flying. Zero chance.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
That's I don't want to ride in the car with
you fly me around exactly one more. I thought this
was just this is this terrible publisher's clearing house has
filed bankruptcy.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I was about to say they're still around.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
No, they're filing bankruptcy. People people who took payments instead
of the lump sum do not get a die. And
there's one guy he was getting six thousand dollars a
month and he said I hadn't worked in ten years
and because of that ten year span of not working,
he can't get a job. Now, nobody wants a hire guy, like, well,
(10:26):
why did you take off ten years?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
You know, what's this ten year hold on your resume? Well,
a publisher's clearing house. But I didn't, I didn't take
the immediate payout.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
So his his six is gone. I mean it's say
that a month, that would hurt. I don't care who
you are, so anyway, so that's the good one. Thank
you so much for listening today. We appreciate you.
