What if your favorite band never actually existed? That’s the wild question Bama Brown kicks off with in this unpredictable and laugh-out-loud episode of The Bama Brown Experience.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Well, hi everybody. You're listening to the Bama Brown Experience
on the iHeart podcast Network. Okay, let me say it
this way because my first story is going to just
shock you. I am Bama Brown. I was on Cave
at FM. I've lived in Austin area for thirty eight years,
been on the radio thirty eight years. I'm now doing
this podcast. Yes, it's really me, along with the Big Puma,
the Big Cat, it's really him. He does a sports
(00:24):
podcast called The Cave, the Sports Cave.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yes, sir, wherever you get your podcasts, just search for
the Sports Cave with Biggest Puma. We were live last
night on YouTube. We got an episode of Who Won
the Internet? Another edition of Who Won the Internet coming
up this weekend. So anywhere you get your podcasts you
need a little sports fixed, just search for the Sports
Cave with Biggest Puma.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
All Right. The reason I say that we're real, we're
the real people. Yeah, we are the iHeart.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Worried the way you're setting this up up.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Well, I'm setting it up because Spotify listeners have downloaded
half a million songs from the band Louder Sound.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Oh yes, there's a great story.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
There is no such band. Now half a million people
are listening. I think know the name of the band is.
I don't know if the song is Velvet Sundown or
the band is Louder Sound. No, the site is Louder Sound.
The name of the band is Velvet Sundown. If you've
been tuning in and going to Spotify to hear of
(01:30):
Velvet Sundown and you can't wait for their concert, well
you're gonna have to wait because there is no band
name named Velvet Soon that it is done with science
and music tracks that they've lifted off other stuff. And
they say that this is a common quoting common for
Spotify listeners so that they don't have to pay royalties
(01:51):
the musicians. That's why they're doing their own their own deal.
And as far as I know, iHeart has not done
any kind of thing like this. We probably didn't think
of it. Somebody in an office truck figure out how
to do it.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Well, I think I've told you before, it does not exist.
We got in trouble on the old radio show for
using We were using AI voices of each other, so
me and my old co host would play oh no,
each other of saying something absolutely terrible, and then you know,
we would just say it saying it yeah yeah, and
(02:30):
then uh yeah old by management to uh cut that
cut that out pretty doing that, yeah, pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I know a country where our president didn't have a
clue what was going on, and people were programming stuff
for him to do, and then they would sign his
name and he even knows.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
It wasn't that's the worst thing.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
That's the worst thing. It really was real anyway. The
music site's called Lounder louder Sound, which is a pretty
good name for music site. Louder Sound on spot. If
I Velvet Sundown tickets are on sale right now, I'll
just send your money to Bama Brown. I'll get you
backstage to the meeting.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, I'll get you a meet and greet with the band.
It's some programming neurs sitting in his mom's basement.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
One of the neatest new sites to see is the
world's largest pothole. It's in Illinois on the two ninety four.
This pothole is eight foot by three foot. That's the
actual size of a pothole in the road that has
not been repaired. They think it's the world's largest. It
has so far claimed thirty tires in the last two weeks,
(03:41):
thirty tires, people hitting it, and Illinois it's an interstate.
Illinois still hasn't repaired it. I can't even imagine that
you're doing that, leaving.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
It, especially if you it's one thing to try to
go viral for having you know, the world's biggest rocking chair,
the biggest uh yarn, or like some of these crazy
roadside attractions that you see, but like one that's doing
physical damage and you know, slightly dangerous to your citizens.
(04:15):
Feels like you've known about it long enough at this point,
why is it not? Why?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
And this is be filled in. This is a pothole
of the size of a sheet of plywood. I mean
that's four foots with one that's that's a big bothole.
It should have been.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Fixed or what if you're on a motorcycle.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
You're gonna go in that deal? That's like half a
car fit. Thirty tires so far, that's pretty good. Maybe
they're trying to. Of course, the local tire guy's eyes
all bullshit. No, that's that ain't even big, you know, he's.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I think he's probably he's living the dream right now,
right leaving.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Alone, left and leave it alone, all right? So, uh,
eighty four hundred Dodge electric charger Daytonas. Notice the set
electric these are twenty four twenty five Dodge Electric charger Daytonas.
They have an AMP in them to put out an
engine sound, so it sounds badass, and they don't have
(05:20):
an engine, it's electric motor. They're very fast. However, the
computer went out on them and it was too quiet.
They quit making the car noise and it was tied
to the RPMs of the electric motor. So the more
you faster it went, the louder it sounded. Anyway, they
have they recalled those. So if you're christ fault, if
(05:43):
you bought an electric charger, you should be embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I was about to say, to begin with buying a
muscle car an electric version of a muscle car is
that's unstable to begin with. But secondly, I don't think
you should get You shouldn't get the option to have
a sound effect play. You have to live with the
(06:10):
silence of buying like you bought an American muscle car.
Ev like you you should have to live with that
embarrassing silence.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Uh, that's the words that's embarrassed. If you're let me
say it, this way. If you, if you're driving one
of these, If you want an electric car, that's awesome.
If you want a hybrid, I think that's great for you.
But don't do a muscle car. If you if you,
if you're listening now and you bought one of these,
you need to go away. This is not going to
be the show for you. I'm just telling you right now.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Like someone who needs a pickup and they buy a
Honda Ridge Line.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Like that's another one. He's like, get it, you know,
I'm gonna tell you though. I finally rode in the Maverick,
the Maverick truck. My friend bought a Maverick truck. It's
a hybrid, so because I'm not I don't get total electric,
but I do get the hybrid. I think, you know,
he gets forty miles a gallon. I was impressed by
how quiet, how wonderful it drove and out rowed, and
(07:06):
plenty of room inside. So Fordes got him. They got
him one with the Maverick, and I read somewhere where
the President ford said, we're hoping to just get a
little bit of that cheese back from that three billion
dollar loss with the f one fifty electric truck. They
lost three billion with the b dollars with this idiotic
(07:30):
agenda that they were forced to do from the government,
and that's it. Don't tell me they did that on
their own. I'll never believe that anyway. So that's something
to think about. Here's our buddy. Let's see. I want
to make sure he get his name right, Austin Kyle.
He could live near us. He Austin Kyle's this guy's name.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Never trust a man with two first names like that,
he's gonna.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Be and if he's got a middle name. Austin Lance
Kyle has been arrested again. Well, he has been arrested.
He was in I want to call this Spotsylvania, Virginia.
Have no idea but where that is or anything about it.
He was selling a bunch of stuff on marketplace. Now,
when you showed up, there's an old saying about the
selling stuff. If it's too good to be true, it's
(08:13):
probably not true. And that was what was going on
with Austin here. He's put stuff on there. Real cheap
peop would show up with cash and he'd rob them
with their cash. He didn't have any of these products,
so he put some more stuff on marketplace. This time
the police showed up to buy all the stuff and
he didn't have any his stuff. He was there to
rob him and he tried to rob them, and unfortunately
(08:34):
he brought nothing to a gunfight. You know, they had
the guns and he had nothing. So he got robbed.
Or he's going to jail. They robbed him.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, they robbed him of his freedom.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Freedom exactly. He gone, He gone now. And then this
happened in this is pretty pretty interesting in Kalati. In Katati, California.
They don't have a his name. He got a d
U I. He had three times a limit good gone.
He had seventy count them, seventy fresh beer cans in
(09:09):
his car and they said these were not These were
not like where he's just trashing, leaving trash in his car.
He said, these are fresh beer camp seventy seven.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Oh hey, he's working on a couple of cases worth good.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
It have to be right. How many is in a
case of beer?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I mean that's city, yeah, thirty, he's over thirty.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah. And for the third one, that was my friend
Bill Hicks. He was talking about he got pulled over
one night. He was so drunk that the police lights.
He thought he was in another nightclub. He started dancing
on the side of the road. He's like, keep becoming
love anyway that he would yell Bill. He was a
very funny guy. He's no longer with us, but he
(09:55):
was absolutely hilarious. He laughed every time. Funny guy, good guy,
I too. Uh. That's it for the Bama Brown experience
