San Antonio Zoo's Cockroach Naming Controversy – Bama's Bonehead!

In this hilarious episode of the Bama Brown Experience, Bama and the crew dive into some local bonehead antics at the San Antonio Zoo. Join us as we recount the wild ride to the zoo, where Bama's tiny car had everyone in stitches, especially when Tate had to jump out at an intersection!

But the real bonehead moment comes from the zoo itself. For Valentine's Day, the San Antonio Zoo launched a unique fundraiser that allowed people to name a cockroach after their ex. While it was meant to be a fun way to raise money for the animals, it sparked quite a bit of controversy. Tune in to hear all about the backlash and Bama's take on why you shouldn't act like a cockroach if you don't want to be named after one!

Get ready for laughs, local flavor, and a whole lot of fun in this episode of the Bama's Boneheads!
