Speaker 1 (00:03):
Well, hi everybody, Badman Brown with you in the Bamon
Brown Experience. iHeart podcast Network. Thank you for listening, appreciate
it so much. We picked up three hundred new listeners
this week, so welcome. Thank you for listening. We have
a lot of fun along with my partner Puma the
Big Cat. You guys got the sports Cave man, y'all
are going crazy. Thirty days for college football starts. Yeah,
(00:26):
closet week, pro pregame stuff, isn't it. I mean yeah, we're.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Starting to get some NFL preseason of course, looking forward
to that September fourth Thursday night NFL season opener up
in Philly Dallas Cowboys versus the Eagles to kick off
another NFL season. But before that we get some college
football in our lives. We'll get that here at the
end of the month, so again, can't come quick enough.
(00:53):
If you need a little sports fix between now and then,
anywhere you get your podcast, just search for the sports
cave with the biggest over.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Thirty percent of the people over I'm going to repeat that,
over fifty percent can't read them on writings. Over fifty
percent of the people say they have peed.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
In the pool.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Fifty of the people the other fifty percent are lying lying. Yeah,
everybody's paid in the pool.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, it feels like one of those things. Just be
comfortable admitting it because we need accurate data here, because
I actually want to know what that number is. At
least it's closer to ninety percent than it is fifty percent.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Absolutely, people get on there and lie.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Let's see, I was reading here, Boston College says, and
I think you and I both agree on this. Boston
College says, a four day work week is actually better
for natural health than your mental health.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Work week.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
But that reminds me of a meeting.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I was at one time with Dresser Industries in the
wool and gas business, and a guy in the meeting.
We had a big hanso there that never said two words,
so that's how knew he was happy.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
He wasn't dune it.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And this guy that had worked there a long time
no longer me. He came in, so the whole sales
staff sitting around, there's ten of us, twelve of us,
and he goes, I wish we'd go to a four
day work week, and prompted that guy the big cheese
at the end of the table to go I wish
you'd work four days a week.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Yeah, I was the only one that laughed. Nobody else laughed,
but I laughed and laughed hard.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
And then I got the eyebrows from the big dog
because apparently that wasn't meant as a joke.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
But I laughed really hard. So yeah, how could you
have known?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I mean, if you're gonna pop off about wanting a
four day work week, you better at least be an
employee that's worth four days worth of work.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
There was another division of that company that, you know,
everybody was bitching all the time about everything because he
just you know, because he do uh. And a guy
walked in and he had a bucket of water. Okay,
so the conference table, he walks in, Big Boss sets
down the bucket of water and he goes.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
This is you. And he holds up his fist like
this with his arm up. He goes, this is you,
and then he puts it in.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
The buck of the water, and he goes, Notice the level.
And then he pulls his arm out and he goes again,
Notice the level.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
A dresser industry is one hundred and fifty thousand employees strong.
You know they're going they're going to be in business.
You may or may not be there, but the level,
the level never changed. This guy said, everybody got real quiet.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Yeah. What a motivational tactic that is.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Oh, that was pretty wow. You know, air traffic controllers
you're thinking about a new career, they are short, and
think about this next time you're getting ready to fly
on vacation or go somewhere. They're short. Thirty five hundred.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Traffic controls like a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
That does seem like a lot. I mean, I don't
have many are out there, but that seems like a
lot of folks they should be looking at a screen
at the airplane I'm in that aren't looking at it,
So I need to do something about that.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
That's one of those jobs too where you know, there's
a lot of jobs where when someone says, you know,
I had to I'm doing we let go of somebody,
so now I'm doing their job too. You know, there's
a lot of jobs where that actually doesn't affect a
whole lot besides just the individual being worked to the bone.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Right, what is it to all hands on deck and
I go, I notice you're not holding as much deck
as I am.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
You know, I seem to be holding a lot of deck.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You know, you're traffic controller. Is not a position where
I want one person doing the job of three.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I saw where Ice was hiring, and they were offering
one hundred thousand dollars a year, and you got a
bonus of fifty thousand dollars if you got hit with
a rock or got beat up while you were trying
to deport people that you don't want to be deported.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
You know, hey, I don't it.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
We're to the point now where I don't know if
you're telling a joke or if that's real. Well real, okay,
that's real.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
It's a real thing.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Lords.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
And you could think of the number of people that
want to fight anyway, they're gonna fight anyway, that are
probably working some crappy job going.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I can go over like one hundred and fifty grand.
I can start some shit and get that fifty.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
You're gonna have a lot of instigators. Yeah, it's gonna
pay you in the long run.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
That's what start that was. Sorry about that, but I
got I need the money, so I'm gonna punch you
in the belly. Get this thing going.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah, that feels like that feels like an ill thought
out incentive plan there.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yeah, very much. You're never gonna run out of people.
I know that. It's a job security.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
You want a bonehead, and that's a pretty good bonehead.
A guy at Chuck E Cheese.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
He was arrested, uh in Florida for credit card theft.
So when people would pay their credit card. Uh, he
was stealing the numbers and buying stuff, you know, using.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Their credit card.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
He was also the Chucky Cheese.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Oh that Oh it was in costume, yes, okay, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
So they cuffy took him out in costume.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
That was so good.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
The best part about it is as they were leading
him out, he didn't take the hat, the Chucky Cheese take.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
That hat off. Yeah, they lifted on the car.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So it literally was Chucky Cheese with cuff but hands
behind his back being walked out of the walked out
of the play area and to the cop car.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
It was awesome. Now I did a remote one time
for Rhino Mobile Homes. This is one hundred years ago
when I was first in radio here. I don't know,
or maybe i'd been there twenty I don't remember. Anyway,
I remember it was a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Rhino mobile homes on thirty five South thirty five and
they'd gone to San Marcos and had a rhino head
made by the Art department of a paper mache rhino head.
And so there's a guy on the interstate with the sign,
you know, with this is Rhino Holmes. But he's got
a gray jumpsuit, you know, like overalls, but he's got
(06:56):
this rhino head on on that he's wearing. And so
we're up there in the Cavett it was cave As
Other twenty years or something ago, because I was at
Cavette the first time. So I'm up there on that
Cavett front porch and he comes up there and he
takes his head off, you know, is rhino head off.
And he's standing there talking to us, and the woman
had owned rhino my homes just happens to come walking
(07:19):
up and she goes, what are you doing up here?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I mean jumps this guy's hat. What are you doing
up here? And he goes the glues making me sick
to my stomach. She goes, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
You put on your head and you get back down
on the interstate. And he goes, well, could I do
it without the head?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
And she goes, no, doing it without the head, You're
just an asshole.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
And overall so.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
And I looked at Kimberly, my partner. We both laughing.
Kimberly goes quitch show business, remember that joke.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Oh yeah, business.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
So he would he put his rhino head back on
and went down there, but the glue was making him sick.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
It hadn't dried yet. They should have got ahead of it,
but it was I'm going to tell you it looked
just like a rhino. It was impressive, man, I mean
it was. It was a nice head. They did a
good job on that.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Yeah, we had uh.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
When I was at the Classic Rock station here in
San Antonio, we were.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
The Eagle and so we had.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, there was I had. I had one promotions member
that would always he was a trooper. He volunteered. He
actually enjoyed doing it.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Of course when we're doing events in the middle of
Texas summers that it's unbearable, you know. And there were
so many times where I would have to tell him, like,
you can't just take the head off, like you got
to walk around a corner the whole meal. Yeah, I understand,
you're about to die. Inside there and I don't want
(08:43):
to be like the lady at Rhino r V's, but
you got you gotta keep your head on, like I
know it sucks.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
But put your head back on and get down on
the interstate pretty much, get your a what you're just
another asshole in a in a coveralls. That was I
was like, Wow, that's she was mean.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Man, imagine being imagine having some teenage teenager that's a
manager at Chuck.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
E Cheese yelled that at you as you as you're
wearing the cheese out.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
And that just reminds me of another I did a
mobile on a mobile homes a regular home deal, uh
where they were selling new homes and it was on
a Saturday. And I got there and it was one
hundred degrees out and they got the model home set
up and I walk in the model home and uh,
all the salespeople had to They were like, it was busy,
people were looking at houses. So I was there by myself.
(09:35):
So you know, it's got the AC on, there's a recliner.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
TV's on. I'd already done my call ins. I did
all of them at once. So I sit down and.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I'm completely out and a guy walks in with his
wife and he goes, oh crap, this is somebody's house.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I was.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
It was Saturday at me at the house, and I went, no, no, no,
come on in. I'm trying to wake up. Go on,
come on. It's putting around a little bit.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yeah, you love it, and hear it comes now.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
So then they they had me back two weeks later
and I'll end the show with this string. It was
two weeks later. I had to go back. I wanted
to go back to this home builder company.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
And when you walk in, they were they made chocolate
chip cookies in the oven, so that the house when
you walk into model home smells like home man mom's home.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
You know. Chip cookies lit their trick right there.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
So he had the plate and I was. I wad
in about three thirty five. Then that was a pretty
big boy. And I walk in.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Well, I walk over and nurse this plate of cookies. Well,
I've already wolfed two down before I even meet them,
you know. And the guy comes over to me, the
model home guy.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
He goes, I'll never forget this. It's the most subtle
thing of her had somebody say. He goes, yeah, that's uh,
that's all the cookies we're gonna have today.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
You know, radio guy who's living in his car, could
he begin to afford his house.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
You're not gonna eat all the cookie so you must well.
And then they didn't have me back anymore.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
It was picking from So imagine that. I mean, you
fell asleep on their recliner and ate all their cookies.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
And ate all the cookies so they don't bring anybody
but him. I bet that's been said a lot in
my career, anybody but him.
