"Even with the most powerful microscope in the world, you couldn’t see my interest in your problem.” What makes a perfect comeback? And what drives someone to set a café on fire over missing mayo packets?

In this laugh-out-loud episode of The Bama Brown Experience, Bama and Puma dive into the absurd, the outrageous, and the oddly insightful moments that defined their week. From a fiery condiment dispute in Spain to a teenager hacking Vegas casinos via LinkedIn, this episode is packed with stories that are as unbelievable as they are hilarious.

Puma, host of The Sports Cave, joins Bama to share his sports fanatic wisdom and dry wit, offering a reprieve from Cowboys-induced nihilism and a fresh take on the week's strangest headlines. Together, they explore:
  • A $12,000 café fire sparked by missing mayo—and Hellmann’s surprising response
  • The ultimate verbal slam delivered in an Austin café
  • A bathroom mix-up at a concert that turned into a legendary moment of Texas cool
  • Fonzie’s iconic leather jacket and the legacy of “jumping the shark”
  • A teenage hacker who fooled MGM and cost Vegas hundreds of millions
  • The top 10 worst jobs to have if you want a healthy relationship (spoiler: don’t date a surgeon)

Speaker 1 (00:03):

(00:25):
guys are rocking it. You've got a huge audience and
people love that Sports Cave. Yeah, it is.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
It is a good time of year for me and
my fellow sports fanatics, my sports sickos, as I sometimes
tend to call us, refer to us as if you
were like me and you stay up watching San Jose
San Jose State play Colorado State until one am on

(00:51):

with Biggest Puma.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Uh. This let's start with a bone. You want a boner? Here,
this's have got. This is in Seville, Spain, a cafe
severed twelve thousand dollars in damages after a customer started
a fire. Oh now here's why. Uh they did not
get their mayo packets with their with their sandwich. No,

(01:27):
they can get their mayo packets. They got they got upset,
they set fire to the restaurant. Twelve thousand dollars in damages.
Hellman's the mayonnaise company gonna pay for it? Oh hey,
that's good.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Uh, it's good PR well in corporate pr exactly normally
I am. I am one to criticize corporate pr because
normally it's just for cynical, profit based purposes. But at
least this one is going to directly help somebody recover, because, yeah,
you should don't be starting fires over condiments. That's that's
your lesson, that's your takeaway from the week. Kid, It's

(02:00):
not condiments aren't worth it.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
There was, uh, there was a girl one time. I
was in a restaurant and there was this guy and
he was just being a jerk. He was just unhappy
and he was being mean to her and he and
finally he raised his voice enough. Most of the tables
and there was a cafe, you know, and so every
kind of it was in Austin. Uh, she kind of

(02:23):
every kind of turned like, what the hell, you know,
why is it? I mean, you could tell it was coming.
And then he finally something she hadn't done or wasn't
and she goes, you know, there's a microscope over here
at UT and of course dead silence in the restaurant.
You want to hear, where's this going? You know? Do
what she and the guy stops and he's looking at her,

(02:43):
and he's in a suit and tie, and he's got
a couple guys with him, you know, and he said,
and they're suiting ties, so they're obviously you know, business
or something. Anyway, and she goes, it's the most powerful
microscope in the world. It's right here on the UT campus.
And she goes and you know, even with that microscope,
you couldn't see my interest in your problem. We all

(03:09):
knew that. And that guy just put his heads up
in his head down, and he's like, you got me?

Speaker 2 (03:17):
What do I say?

Speaker 1 (03:19):
And instead of her telling the piss off, she handled
it so well, and and of course he realized what
a jerkey was being, you know, and he had a
he had to back off, and and everybody was like,
come on, and so it was great. That was it.
Even with that microscope you couldn't see my interest, she said,
in your effing problem. But she didn't. I didn't say that.

(03:39):
I left that part out, but it was. It was
the best slam I've seen I've seen. And the other thing,
I don't know why I just thought of those, but
this made me laugh. The Green must keep Barbecue down
on Riverside. They used to do a lot of concerts
there and I am seen so many things there. And
their bathroom, so this is thirty five years ago, forty

(04:01):
I don't even know how long ago it was. I'm
there and the bathrooms there was the man and women's
bathroom next to each other, course, and inside you walked
the bathroom, there was ose stalls. There was just a
commode in the in the middle of the in the room,
it is a pretty a big bathroom. There was a
commode and a urinal and then a sink across from it.
And it is all white and there was no, I mean,

(04:23):
no anything extra, no special anything, and not even a
window in any of it. And so I accidentally went
in the women's restroom instead of the men's. It was
the doors right, said I was, and I walk kid,
and the women's was the same way. Okay, it was.
It was a commode there or anybody urnal and a

(04:43):
sink across from it, and it was this thing. This
room was fifteen deep by ten wide. I mean, there's
a big room. And this woman is sitting on the
com just staring at the wall and she looks at me.
This was the coolest thing in the world.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
She looks at me and she goes, just as calm
as you. She goes, I'll be with you in a minute.
And then I spent the rest of the deal going
this woman's gonna tell the ball I'm the MC of
the of the concert, I'm the guy that's gonna be
on stage or twenty minute. And the thing was slammed
and she's gonna go, that's the asshole and pull you know,

(05:22):
going on.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
But that was the funniest. She's sitting in her arms,
I'll be with you in a minute, and just this
I'll never forget.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
I feel like I know exactly the woman that did,
like I feel like that is just the most Texas woman, Like,
ah yeah, hold on, I'll get to you in a minute.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
I mean, I'll be within a minute. Just give me
a minute here to wrap it up.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, that's great.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
I thought that was pretty good. Uh, let's see, I've
got some other stuff. Oh, Phonsie's leather jacket. The Fonsa's
jacket's up for auction. I wonder what the number. I
don't I didn't find any kind of anything, or it
wasn't before the show last week.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
It was the anniversary of the Fawns jumping the Shark episode.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, I remember now, I saw that deal and that
was that's why that's still a phrase to this day.
When they knew Happy Days was over. Oh.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
I mean at this point, I'm not even sure, Like
I'm not even sure what percent of my generation knows
what that phrase is from. But they used but they
know the phrase.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
But that show was number one for what three years
in a row. I mean, the number one show was
Happy Days and on the heels of American graffiti. So
that's pretty cool. Let's see, here's the Crystal Watts. You
want a bonehead? Crystal used a can a silly string
as a weapon. She's been arrested. She hit a guy

(06:49):
at the Roadhouse bar there in Clearwater, Florida. She sprayed
him with the entire can of silly string and then
beat him with the empty can whatever. Whatever he did. Crystal,
by the way, an escort professional escorts. I guess, okay,
up in time.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
I mean I probably could have guessed she was in
some specific line of work with a name like Crystal Lots.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah, you know it's gonna be you know, it could have.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Watched something of a sort there.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
It's going to be a discount hopefully on that deal
of I remember I almost called you about this one,
the teenager who in Vegas? Did you? I know you
saw that. The teenager he usually linked in to impersonate
an MGM tech employee.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Oh no, educate me.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
He he and he got in and he said I
need to get a password reset for their tech department,
and they gave it to it. Oh bubba uh. He
got in right now. As of right now, multiple Vegas
casinos I'm quoting have lost hundreds of millions of dollars
because other people jumped in. Apparently he was online bragging

(08:03):
about it. Surely was doing it, they do. Hundreds of
millions of dollars were lost. And they got him and
they say he's going to be he's he was a teenager.
They say they're going to try him as an adult
and then he will probably never see daylight again. That's
what I was about to say.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
I mean, what, it's not like it was a violent crime,
but you steal that much money, it feels like from.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Two hundred and millions so far they think. So, I mean,
that's just holy cats. But I want to talk to
you off air and see because I know you have
incredible computers.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Well, I was going to say, you know, the individual
I share a house with, she is she is a
marketing director for a cybersecurity company, and she always tells me,
no matter how much you're doing, the double authentication, the
changing your password, all of that, all of that can

(08:58):
be circumvented by one idiot employee. Yeah, like that's exactly
what because think about how much cyber protection they had
in their whole system, and all it took was one
person being like, oh you need the password, okay, sure here, Yeah,
that's all it takes.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Still anyway, got I mean the other thing that he'll
have for him, maybe he can work for the government,
you know, and they'll let him out or something.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
One of those like to catch me while you can guy,
all Right, to help them catch some of these other people.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
It seems like if he's that smart and that creative,
that he should be able to do something in a
teenager too.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Just throwing your whole life away.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
I mean, man, uh, okay, this is Houser time. Are
we good? Is this? Oh? Yeah, we got toime this
Friday my favorite story of the week. Perfect.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Well then yeah, we we definitely have time.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Then chingdu China. It was. I couldnot pronounce this guy's name.
It's just a bunch of valves and I'm sure he's
on an electric scooter in shan Do. Uh. He crashes
into a temporary traffic light that they had set up,
and his head was stuck in the traffic light for
forty five minutes. He has a helmet on. Is there

(10:14):
of this guy? I think there's video. I couldn't find it.
I looked his head is a forty five minutes Before
they could get it cut. They had to come and
carefully cut the traffic light apart. Is on the low
one on the ground, and they had to cut it apart.
Now he had a helmet home, so they were able
to get his head out. You know, after forty five

(10:35):
minutes he was trapped at the intersection there.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
As much as I would want my head unstuck and
out of the traffic light, I also would be really
hesitant to say, yes, operate a heavy machinery saw right
next to my cranium.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
That would be I don't know if I would like
that or not.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Well seed to his family, Yes.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
At least they got him out, all right. Here's the
worst spouse's jobs. All right, So if your spouse is
doing one of these jobs.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
I've a quick guess working at a barbecue restaurant because
it makes you You smell like barbecue the whole time,
and it just makes you hungry every time you're around.
My game twenty pounds dating a girl who worked at
a barbecue rest Not because I ate the barbecue, but
just because she always smelled like and it made me
hungry to eat something.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
I have a story and it's and it's exact same.
I can't tell this story, or let me just say
it this way. Ten to four man, that was the
best part of Old Deal's house. You smell all right?
Number ten. If you're dating a musician or married to
a musician, yeah, it's over. Architect was number nine. I

(11:43):
was surprised about that did make money? Yeah, Investmond banker.
Number eight, I could see this one. Number seven flight attendant.
If your spouse is a flight attendant, yeah, she's gonna
meet somebody so much better than you. Number six lawyer. Okay.
Number five police officer. I've had several police officer friends

(12:03):
that they were dogs. They're just dogs. I mean that
whole thank you for your service in the community. And
these guys were both servicing the community.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Well, look to the job that uh that that we
called those unpaid perks Bama.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, ain't nobody DJ so what I want? Uh? Number
four surgeon Like surgeons, Uh not good because they work
all the time.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Okay, Yeah, I was thinking maybe because they were just
like cold and calculated and just everything is like, uh,
you know, surgery.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
There's no like we're three fourth through this list and
you and I hadn't got past the sex part. But
like a lot of it is they're working hard, that
kind of thing, you know. Uh, let's see any job
that the spouse is involved in foreign travel where they're
overseas for periods of time, that that's like a death
toll over the for the job. Number two I don't

(12:57):
even understand it a chef. The chef's work all the time.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Again, I was about to say, the the chef friends
we have over here in town, I mean they are
they're out of the kitchen for a couple hours and
then back in it for a full day.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
They got to start for the next day, you know,
and your food has to be perfect, or the restaurant's
oude of business.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
You're closing the restaurant as you're prepping for the next shift.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
And that that led us to number one bar restaurant
owner or employee of a bar or restaurant because it's
just the hours are crazy.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Employee situations are always just madness, you know.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
So my takeaway here is don't date a surgeon or
a lawyer, date a podcaster. That's that's your key to happiness.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Is what I'm here. We're not going anywhere. We're certainly
not going to work too hard. There's you're safe there,
you know. And Jamie's like, can't You're gonna have to
find a job. You can't. You can't be doing this.
I can't. I can't have you. You know, this is
you know, an hour every day. I can't have that.
So anyway, at the culinary school. I needed you to

(14:02):
be I need to learn how to cook, and she
just had me cooking the whole the time. You know,
appreciate you listening all week. We have a lot of
fun pooing I do, and it's only ten minutes out
of your life. And you may laugh. There's a good
chance you'll laugh. You know, we won't hurt your feelings anyway,
So thanks for listening.
