Can a self-driving car get a ticket for breaking the law? That’s just one of the wild questions Bama Brown and Puma tackle in this unpredictable and hilarious episode of The Bama Brown Experience. From Thursday Night Football distractions to DUI double trouble, this episode is packed with sharp commentary, offbeat stories, and genuine moments that’ll keep you hooked from start to finish.
Bama and Puma kick things off with a story about a woman arrested for her fourth DUI, only to be joined in jail by her drunk friend who came to pick her up. The duo compares it to the infamous Aggie arrest threads, where one college kid was too drunk to unlock his phone and call for help.
But the real curveball? A Waymo self-driving car making an illegal U-turn in front of a cop—who couldn’t issue a ticket because there was no driver. Bama and Puma dig into the legal gray areas of autonomous vehicles and the growing presence of these cars in Austin and San Antonio.
The episode wraps with a quirky list of “Five Ways to Fall Asleep Faster”, including blowing bubbles (yes, really), imagining nature, and wearing cozy socks—though Bama’s personal “number one” sleep method might not be safe for radio.
If you love a mix of absurd news and real talk with a Texas twist, this episode is for you. Subscribe to The Bama Brown Experience wherever you get your podcasts, leave a review to let us know your favorite moment, and share this episode with a friend who needs a laugh—or a pair of cozy socks!

We call that thing the Sports Cave with Biggest Puma
And yeah, we are back live to the number one.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
It is the number one sports podcast in the whole regions.
You want to listen to that.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Wow, we are going to be massively distracted, as we
usually are on Thursday nights of course with Thursday Night
football taking place, but I fear not, we still try
to do the at least somewhat of a normal show
as we are distracted by the game. This one again,
(00:50):
like some of some of the Thursday night games, don't
distract me that much. But anytime the Cowboys division opponents
like the Eagles and Giants are playing each other, only
going to keep an eye on that. So always a
good game, Yeah, always a good game. Eight o'clock Normal Downbeat.
Find us over there on YouTube at sports Cave Live.
Coming out.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I don't know why, but I've ended up watching about
four Eagles games and I really, really enjoyed them.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
You know. You know the funny thing about them. The
Eagles are four and oh or were They were four
and o to start their first four games, but they
were out gained yardage wise in all four of those.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Crazy, So they're they're winning the games, but they're not.
They don't look very good doing it. So you think
eventually the last time a team did that their first
four games of the season, it was the Arizona Cardinals
back in like twenty eleven, and they went four and
oh to start the year but were out gained in
all four of those games. Ended the year five and eleven.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Oh weird bottom out like that, But there seems to
be some normalizing potentially coming in the future for them.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Hurts is just getting into his own really. I mean,
you know, he's just really starting to show what he
did and you know when he was in school in college,
you know, yeah, he's an aggrestive guy.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
He wins games. That's what you want, right and who
cares what the stats are? You want you want to win.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Jamie when she watched when he has that he has
that dark black on his face, you know where he
puts those stripes down and she goes. He looks like
a he looks like a one of those robots, you
know it was. She goes. Then you can see that
and his helmet, you know, and it just looks really badass.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I don't know, it's pretty intimidated. I just really is
being one of those Houston public school kids having to
go up against him when he was in high school.
I mean, dude, six hundred pounds or whatever it is, like.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Twelve years old and had a full beard. You know
that kid.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, good luck, y'all.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Let's see you want a bonehead. We got thirty six
year old Kayla mcgrill. Uh, Kayla, she's re Portsmouth. Rowed
to the island. Kaylea had a cocktail or four. She
got it the UI. She's forty one years old by
the way, and it was her fourth one. So she
was in big trouble. However, she they two hours in.
(03:13):
I go, okay, you can go ahead and go. So
she called Matthew Wheeler and Matthew showed up and he
was drunk when he got there to get her. So
they just put him in the cell with her so
they could be pals. And then they do you have
any friends that aren't drunk coming down and get you out.
It turns out they didn't had spend the night in
jail because they were scared to call anybody that you know,
nobody would come down and get them.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
This reminds me of the every every Saturday over at
Kyle Field when the Aggies have a home game, Aggie
at the A and M Campus Police Department will tweet
out a running thread of all of the arrests or
citations they got out. A couple of weeks ago, there
was one that read, you know, subject caught minor in
(03:58):
possession public intoxication, offered you know, gave him citation, offered
him the chance to call a friend to come pick
him up, but he couldn't get his into his phone
here so drunk he couldn't drunk phone, so they ended
up arresting him and taking him from the stadium to
the the jail because he couldn't unlock his phone.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
The next morning, that's all the parents are looking at
and see for kids on that list.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah yeah, well, hey, you read that list. There's a
bunch of parents that parents at the game a couple
of weeks ago. That was a drunk wife can't walk
on her own, released to sober husband and usually over
an agui land. That's the other way around. You don't
see the drunk wife call too many times.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
That's a good one. She's the other way around, for sure.
This is interesting. A one of those way mood self
driving cars. Oh yeah, all in uh sam Berno, California.
It made an illegal U turn right in front of
a police car. It was a guy in the car,
but they couldn't write a ticket because there was no driver.
It was self driving, so it made an illegal U turn.
(05:07):
They a lot of people are complaining that this Wimo
place company ought to be they ought to get the ticket.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
You know, you know, they're all all over Austin now too.
I saw them. We took one couple of weeks or
last week when we were over there, and we're they're
starting to map out San Antonio too. I never thought
about that though, Like, seriously, when one of those makes something,
and how do you not, like can you not write
(05:38):
the company a ticket? I guess not, Because no, I
guess not.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Nobody's driving.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
The passenger can't get a ticket like that. That feels
like a massive liability loophole.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Like why should why should the self driving car make
an illegal U turn that. The reason they're illegal is
they're dangerous. So you're in the back and you get
creamed because you you know, I guess your family will
come out okay on it.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
So I think I'll I think I'll be just fine
writing in a vehicle with an actual human behind the
wheel the rest of my life. I don't think, just
not go if I have to do that. H helicopter.
There you go. Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Five ways to fall asleep faster. I thought this was
an interesting survey. This is from doctors and different people.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Number five says start over. If you can't fall asleep,
get up, go read nothing that makes you like. They
recommend not doing any kind of crazy movie or anything
like that. It might get you sensitive or sensitivity up.
You want something that reading is what they recommend.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
And make you sleepy. Don't read on your phone like
read in a book, like right exactly the screen for
like an hour before off the screen too.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah. Uh, I don't understand this one. Number four was
blows some bubbles. What is that? I don't know what
that means. You have somebody gonna have one of those
deals with the bubbles. You know and blowing deal with kids.
I didn't make any sense.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, I follow the science there.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Number three was imagine you're in nature if you can
make yourself And they say they do, say those rain
deals are pretty cool, you.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Know they Oh okay, yeah, no, no, no that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I mean I put on the scenery one on the
TV the other day and I was out in no time.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
You know, I break all the rules I'm awful about.
I leave the TV on with a sleep timer, and
I falling asleep watching sports highlights every night for an hour.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Try to fight to stay awake, and they go the
harder you fight, the sleepiers you'll get. And then number one.
You want to guess what number one is because I
wrote down vulgar or something.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, release some shocking, shocking that I.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Would do that. No, they're actual number one. They said,
some cozy socks. Put on some coked these socks and
you'll be you'll you'll fall asleep faster.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Okay. I mean again, they say, you know all the
like everything, all the you know, uh like feeling that
you get from your feet. Yeah, up your by I can.
I guess I could kind of be talked into it.
It feels like the opposite of like how the these
all these new age people are like, you know, go
(08:25):
stand barefoot in your backyard every morning, sleep with socks on. Okay,
I mean sure, I like my number one better. That
would be I have better results.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Why that's why I always like a raccoon. I'm always
sleepy and never never anyway. One in six Americans puma
have given up on the idea of owning a home.
So if Donald, if you really want to fix something,
why don't you jump on that if you have really
you know, I'm a big We got to make some,
you know, changes. But that's the one they need to change,
(08:57):
is to do whatever you got to do, if you
have to make it a hundred year mortgage or whatever
you got to do so that people, young people could
have a chance to buy a home, you know, the
American dream. That's that's it. You fix that. I guarantee you,
if you fix that one thing, then you would eliminate
a lot of problems out there that people are arguing about.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
It's like, yeah, but it feels like it feels like
fixing that one thing would take a lot of money
from the upper ten percent of this country that don't
necessarily want to lose any of that money.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Right, and that's why they pay to put those people
in there so they able to do that. But still
I just think that I think there's something that you
could do. There's got to be something some way that
you could fix that, and I don't know what it is,
but it's it's certainly.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Not going to go.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Well'm I figured it out down there and in Austin,
but not.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I don't think we're the ones that Again, like I'm not.
I can see the problem, but I also see my
limitations in coming up with the solutions.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
So I built my three and I wore out and
I ain't got any money left. So there you go.
There it is right there all. I thank you for listening.
