Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey, folks, Bama Brown hear Me Bam Brown Experience and
I Heeart Podcast Network. Yeah, I forget the name of
the show all the tight every day, So you know,
I got to try to remember along with the Big Puma,
Big Cat has the Sports Cave San Antonio. If you're
talking sports, this is the podcast you want to hear
with him.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
How do we get that, sir?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Oh, we make it super easy on you.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
Anywhere you get your podcast, anywhere you might be in
the world, just search for the Sports Cave with the
Biggest Oma.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I was reading about the just how to be reading.
This happened last week. The bomb threats. You know that
they get in the incidents that are happening with Tesla's.
But we had an Austin Tesla dealer that had the
bomb threat got planted bombs around the deal.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
They don't know yet who it is.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
They think they do as far as I know as
right now, I'm not sure that they've arrested together. They've
had forty eight incidents nationwide in nine states of people
you know, blowing up the Tesla's, burning them, u scratching them.
You know a lot of the key you know, and
let me let me just see it. I'm never key
(01:11):
to a car in my life because if you're key
in any car or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Here's an asshole. I don't care if it's Tesla anything.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Don't don't do that. Don't damnage somebody else's property. In fact,
don't car to ordering them either. Try to hold your
car door as best.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
You can, so you don't do that. You know it
happens sometimes.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Yeah, don't even get me started on that one. That
is the biggest I cannot I just cannot handle it.
When I come out of a grocery store or a
business wherever I'm at, I see a car that is
parked so close to me, I know there was no
physical way they got out of that car without hitting mine.
(01:49):
Even if it's not damage left, I still know you.
There's just no chance that you didn't hit my car
to get you. There's there's not a big enough sliver
for the tiniest pert.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Fry there, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And it's not just I mean nothing says I don't
care about other people than that.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Are people that litter, you know?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Are people that steal? No? You know?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I mean, if you're stealing food because you're hungry, I
guarantee you. If you walk into any store, any supermarket,
you go up to the manager and go, I don't
have any money and I'm hungry. They'll give you some food.
The restaurant will feed you, the store will give you
some food. I mean, don't do it every day, but
if you're that, if you're hungry, or most places, if
you go somewhere and you eat or you're hungry, and
(02:37):
there'll be somebody that will buy your lunch and go,
hey man, it's cool.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
It happens to everybody. It's happened to everybody.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
So I don't think CC's is going to give you
the lunch buffet daily.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
If you want to like seat.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Well, you bring up a good one.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Somebody that takes their kids to a buffet like that
and just they just destroy the buffet. Be a parent,
you know, I mean, come on, you you don't let
them just and don't just pack it away and take
it home. And cause it's you know, we all pay
for that when you when you act like you do,
we all have to pay for when you car door people,
(03:11):
when you that all goes up people's insurance, everybody's insurance
goes up. It's so it's always the one percenters out there,
the jerks that are ruining it for ever, you know,
for everybody.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, I mean that's how it is in most things.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
And you know, I think I've long thought that parking lot,
grocery store parking lots, particularly like big like not your
mom and pop grip, but like wat yeah, big grocery
store parking lot.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
That's the closest thing we have to the Roman colisseum,
and it is. It is cutthroat. There are no rules
that the police can't help you there.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
You know, there's some little rent a cop riding around
on a segue that or a golf cart that's supposed
to be uh, you know, the adjudicator of justice like, no,
you're on your own. It's a thunderdome in the parking lot.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
My buddy he came out in the side of his
car was caved in. I mean, not bad, but enough enough.
And he was so angry, and I said, I'm going
to tell you something. He goes, well, I go, it
was the luckiest day of your life. And he goes,
what are you talking about? And I said, you didn't
walk up while he did it, because you would have
(04:23):
pulled them out of their car and beat the snot
out of them, and then they would have sued you
or you would have went to jail, and that dent
that you got insured or maybe you had to have
fixed for a couple thousand dollars would have cost you
one hundred thousand dollars to have an attorney keep you
from going in front of a grand jury. There was
a guy got I remember this guy. They had a
(04:46):
bar downtown Austin, and I knew guy that owned the bar.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
The bar out of business because of this. They had
a lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
This guy was with the British Royal band that was
here in town visiting, playing at the Irwin Center and they're,
you know there, they line up the British band and
they march and that's really amazing.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You ever get to see it. They call him the
Royal I think the Royal Guard, Royal Band, something like that.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
So this guy was in event Well, he's down there
at this place having drinks and he gets into an
altercation with a guy and the guy hits the British guy.
He punches him, guy hits his head, kills him, kills
him dead. God the guy that did it is still
in prison because it's an automatic manslaughter whether you mean
(05:37):
to do it or not, you know, I mean everybody's like,
guy's never done anything wrong in his life, no record whatsoever.
He killed a guy manslaughter, you go to prison mandatory
and so he's still in the joint. Uh, he may
be out by now. Let me rephrase that, because that
was many years ago. But then they sued, and then
and the bar got sued. Everybody got sued and closed
(05:59):
him down. But because he hit this guy, his life
was over. I mean he lost everything, civil suit lost everything.
You know, So before you hit somebody, before you get
out of that car for road rage, and road rage is.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Never about the car. It's always about something going on
in your life.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
When you get out of your car, think about that's
the last free thing that you will ever do. That's
the last freedom that you're ever gonna know. Is when
you get out of that car and you're ready to
pop somebody in an intersection, is you could go to
prison for the rest of your life.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
You have hit on something that of all the things,
of all the ways I've tried to make myself a
better person over the last you know, the decade of
my thirties. Here coming from the wild man, pissed off
redneck of my earlier years.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Sure, we're all been there.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
The biggest thing I have changed is how I react
behind the wheel. I used to be the guy that
would tailgate you with a middle finger out the window,
telling you to get the hell out of the way.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I was.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I was the guy that if you uh you know,
swerved next to me in a lane as we were
on a turn or going around a bend, I would
get in front of you and yell at you out
the window.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Used to be the guy that would lay on the.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Horn if you weren't if the light I'd turned green
and you didn't go in the first point twenty second.
I was pretty and pretty uh just uh wound pretty
tightly behind it. And you know, it doesn't help when
I would always tell my roommate my wife, you know, uh, well,
what are you going to do when someone comes charging
(07:49):
after you? Was like, well, we're we're faster than them.
My war is faster. We just outrun them. That's what
I've done my literally my whole life. That's how I've
handled these situations. And then one day we're driving, we
happened to be near the entrance to one of the.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Bases here uh in in San Antonio. Uh Out.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
We were back on Harry wurzbought over on the backside
of nine and get to a stoplight. The guy in
front of me, he's he's in the lane next to us,
but uh you know, a car length or so in
front of me.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
As I'm pulling up to the red light, he.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Swerves in front of us real quick to get because
he wanted to get around there was a car in
front of him. He wanted to be the first car
at the red light. Which, yeah, you got there. Yeah,
But at that point in my life, this was seven
eight years ago, at that point in my life, I
took that as a massive, massive sign of disrespect. You
(08:50):
just openly disrespected me while I have my woman in
the front seat.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
This aggression will not stand.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
That at.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
As H. W.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Bush said, we we, we can't can't let it stand.
So you know, I'm smoking a heater. I got my
arm hanging out the window. I pinched the cherry out,
pinch the butt, and flick the butt onto the back.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Of his car.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
That's good. Did that?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
He jumps out of the car and it's some super
teed up marine. I mean he's got he's got his
uh you know, US Marine Corps shirt on, he's jacked.
He I mean, he absolutely would have rolled me, you know,
up and down the street if it had elevated to
an actual physical confrontation. It was clearly someone I didn't
want to mess with. And he's telling me, you know,
(09:44):
get out of the car, blank, get out of the car,
you know all this, and I finally I go, dude,
I'm about to run your ass over like you get
back in your car. And of course at that point,
i'm you know, it's we're elevating hostility version yeah, And
finally stuff goes.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I thought we could all. I thought you could always
just run away from these situations. I thought you were
always faster than them, and you could.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Get not always, yeah, not always.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
We were boxed in that day, and luckily that kind
of served as the uh A bit of the like
patient zero moment where I decided, you know what, none
of this is worth it.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
None of it is worth it. So here's what you
could have done.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
You could have literally videoed now you know now that
you have a phone, video this person, and then you
call over to the to the base. If you're this
kind of person. This is what I'm talking about. This
is who I'm talking about. Then you video, you video,
you call over to the base. I have this man's name,
(10:48):
I have his tag number of him on video. He
was gonna assault me. Guess where that guy gets to
spend the next six months, probably doing some type of
KP and and you've got people calling you, going, please
don't have this man arrested. Please don't do This is
what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
You.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
You may win the fight, but believe me, when the
war's over, you will lose, and they will win. And
they don't have anything, they have no reason to win,
but they will because they'll grab a lawyer and they'll
sue you. They'll they'll have you arrested. And then once
you're arrested, depending on what your job is, like our heart,
if we get arrested, man, we're out. They don't they know,
(11:30):
you know, talk about it later, that.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
They cut you loose immediately. And I've known people they did.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
And uh, I knew a guy that got in an
altercation Oklahoma as a DJ, and uh, the guy just
totally started it at an auto part store. He got
out of his car. He was you know, it wasn't no,
this guy was threatening him and uh, there wasn't.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
None of this.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I thought I was I thought he was gonna hurt me.
I thought this guy the DJ hit this guy first.
He hit him first. And even though he said I
thought he was going to kill me, didn't matter. He
got arrested because he threw the first punch. He went
to jail. When he got out of jail the next day,
(12:19):
he went by the radio station to report it to
a supervisor. And guess what, they already knew all about it,
and they had his termination papers ready.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Yeah, we just need and he was a popular DJ.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, they don't. They don't.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
And that's most jobs. If it's a good job, it's
a career. Let's talk about career versus jobs. If it's
a career, your career is over.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
It's done. If you hit somebody, hurt somebody, God help
you kill him. You know.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
See, this is where it reminds me of when you
see all of these you know, spoiled punk ass fans
that are just harassing athletes while they have their phone out,
just that the athlete will say something back, or you know,
like h Jason Kelcey, Uh, during college football season. He
was at a Penn State game. He was carrying a
(13:06):
case of beer in one hand, and uh, you know
the guy there was a kid following him, just yelling
at him, antagonizing, making fun of Travis for dating, uh
you know, Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
And finally Jason and.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Had enough turned around, grabbed the kid's phone and smashed it.
And then it's like, that's exactly what that kid wanted.
Now you've given him.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yeah, yeah, I guess right right midcheck, you know.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Yeah, you've created the victim. But that is going back
to the beginning of this episode. I think the thing
I don't think I'll ever own a Tesla, just because
I'm not ready to be an electric vehicle person yet.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Right.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
The thing I love most about him is the recording feature.
How they're all like you see it all the time.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Here.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
We had a Medal of Honor recipient a couple of
years ago in San Antonio had his literal Metical of
Honor stolen out of a Tesla, but because it auto recorded,
he had it set to record. Yeah, they got the
footage of the guys smashing the window and you know,
smashing grab and we're able to find it and track
(14:13):
down his metal and it you know, some of these,
some of these videos we've seen of people rub rubbing
like dog crap on tesla's or keying them.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I mean, it's all being caught on video.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
You gotta know, you gotta know you're going to get caught,
and that part I actually, I mean, I will lose
hours of my life watching Russian dash cam.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Oh my god, it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
And it's to the point where I'm I've been threatening
for years to buy a dash cam just to record
all these you know, back again, back when I was
being a little more road rage. Ye.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
But now, at least if you're gonna do something stupid
to someone's vehicle, no matter what their politics are or
any of that crap, at least that one is going
to it and you're probably gonna get busted.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I spent I think it was an hour one day
down the down the reels rabbit hole. Oh yeah, wheels
that had come off car or big trucks mostly, but
rolling you know, and hitting stuff and hitting people and
hitting and it was there's so many people whose wheels
are coming off their car.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
World wide, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Uh, And it's just the number of people that the
wheel went by them and they didn't get hit, but
was so close.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I mean, it's.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Unbelievable the number of people that are near miss with
some straight truck wheel. And there's there's one that takes
out this front porch column.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
And this wheel comes.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I mean it's a country setting out in the middle
with the neighborhood, you know, and all of a sudden,
you don't see where this wheel coming from. I mean
it's coming from a mile away, and all of a
sudden it rolls up the street, wide open and hits
this column and knocks it out of the porch.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
You know, nobody was standing. Everything. God, but it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Of all the places that could have gone, it went
smacked to the load weight bearing portion of somebody's Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
The whole thing just caving in, you know. But there
was one one of them. It was an eighteen wheeler truck.
Wheel came off and there was a stack of wheels
and tires.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
It was like a truck repair place.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
And outside the place, he's got a stack of tires
and wheels and he's doing something and he turns around
and this big eighteen wheeler wheel misses him by inches.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Slams in it and he just.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Down on his knees like, oh my God from behind,
and then it bounces like three times and bounces into
the stack like it was stacked there. Yeah, and it
lines up perfect, and the guy stands up and he's looking.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Around, going, what the hell was it?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
He never saw it, he never saw what wheel it was,
and he was like, what is what on God's name
was that noise?
Speaker 4 (17:05):
If I was that man, there are only two outcomes
at the end of that shift. Either one I am
I am flying to Thailand to become a Buddhist monk
and committing my life to a understanding beyond.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
That which I currently hold.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Or two, I am ultimately convinced we just live in
a matrix and I just saw the greatest outcome of
the simulation.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You need to you need to watch that one. Look up.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
The guy nearly it with truck tire doesn't know it
or can't figure out how it'll show that one, and
it was just you sit there and you go, first
of all, the luckiest man in the world. But second
of all, he was looking around and was going, what
in God's name was that?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
You know?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
He could not figure it out, and it was great.
All right, well you're listening to the Bama Brown experience.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
To quit tearing up people's cars, leave teslas alone. You know, Vote,
that's all you can do. Vote and if you vote,
you've done your part, So that's all you can do.
Hey, folks, Bama Brown hear Me Bam Brown Experience and
I Heeart Podcast Network. Yeah, I forget the name of
the show all the tight every day, So you know,
I got to try to remember along with the Big Puma,
Big Cat has the Sports Cave San Antonio. If you're

They think they do as far as I know as
right now, I'm not sure that they've arrested together. They've
had forty eight incidents nationwide in nine states of people
you know, blowing up the Tesla's, burning them, u scratching them.
You know a lot of the key you know, and
let me let me just see it. I'm never key
(01:11):
to a car in my life because if you're key
in any car or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Here's an asshole. I don't care if it's Tesla anything.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Yeah, don't even get me started on that one. That
is the biggest I cannot I just cannot handle it.
When I come out of a grocery store or a

parked so close to me, I know there was no
physical way they got out of that car without hitting mine.
(01:49):
Even if it's not damage left, I still know you.
There's just no chance that you didn't hit my car
to get you. There's there's not a big enough sliver
for the tiniest pert.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Fry there, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And it's not just I mean nothing says I don't
care about other people than that.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Are people that litter, you know?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Are people that steal? No? You know?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I mean, if you're stealing food because you're hungry, I
guarantee you. If you walk into any store, any supermarket,
you go up to the manager and go, I don't
have any money and I'm hungry. They'll give you some food.
The restaurant will feed you, the store will give you
some food. I mean, don't do it every day, but
if you're that, if you're hungry, or most places, if
you go somewhere and you eat or you're hungry, and
(02:37):
there'll be somebody that will buy your lunch and go,
hey man, it's cool.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
It happens to everybody. It's happened to everybody.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
So I don't think CC's is going to give you
the lunch buffet daily.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
If you want to like seat.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Well, you bring up a good one.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Somebody that takes their kids to a buffet like that
and just they just destroy the buffet. Be a parent,
you know, I mean, come on, you you don't let
them just and don't just pack it away and take
it home. And cause it's you know, we all pay
for that when you when you act like you do,
we all have to pay for when you car door people,
(03:11):
when you that all goes up people's insurance, everybody's insurance
goes up. It's so it's always the one percenters out there,
the jerks that are ruining it for ever, you know,
for everybody.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, I mean that's how it is in most things.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
And you know, I think I've long thought that parking lot,
grocery store parking lots, particularly like big like not your
mom and pop grip, but like wat yeah, big grocery
store parking lot.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
That's the closest thing we have to the Roman colisseum,
and it is. It is cutthroat. There are no rules
that the police can't help you there.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
You know, there's some little rent a cop riding around
on a segue that or a golf cart that's supposed
to be uh, you know, the adjudicator of justice like, no,
you're on your own. It's a thunderdome in the parking lot.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
My buddy he came out in the side of his
car was caved in. I mean, not bad, but enough enough.
And he was so angry, and I said, I'm going
to tell you something. He goes, well, I go, it
was the luckiest day of your life. And he goes,
what are you talking about? And I said, you didn't
walk up while he did it, because you would have
(04:23):
pulled them out of their car and beat the snot
out of them, and then they would have sued you
or you would have went to jail, and that dent
that you got insured or maybe you had to have
fixed for a couple thousand dollars would have cost you
one hundred thousand dollars to have an attorney keep you
from going in front of a grand jury. There was
a guy got I remember this guy. They had a
(04:46):
bar downtown Austin, and I knew guy that owned the bar.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
The bar out of business because of this. They had
a lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
This guy was with the British Royal band that was
here in town visiting, playing at the Irwin Center and they're,
you know there, they line up the British band and
they march and that's really amazing.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You ever get to see it. They call him the
Royal I think the Royal Guard, Royal Band, something like that.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
So this guy was in event Well, he's down there
at this place having drinks and he gets into an
altercation with a guy and the guy hits the British guy.
He punches him, guy hits his head, kills him, kills
him dead. God the guy that did it is still
in prison because it's an automatic manslaughter whether you mean
(05:37):
to do it or not, you know, I mean everybody's like,
guy's never done anything wrong in his life, no record whatsoever.
He killed a guy manslaughter, you go to prison mandatory
and so he's still in the joint. Uh, he may
be out by now. Let me rephrase that, because that
was many years ago. But then they sued, and then
and the bar got sued. Everybody got sued and closed
(05:59):
him down. But because he hit this guy, his life
was over. I mean he lost everything, civil suit lost everything.
You know, So before you hit somebody, before you get
out of that car for road rage, and road rage is.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Never about the car. It's always about something going on
in your life.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
When you get out of your car, think about that's
the last free thing that you will ever do. That's
the last freedom that you're ever gonna know. Is when
you get out of that car and you're ready to
pop somebody in an intersection, is you could go to
prison for the rest of your life.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
You have hit on something that of all the things,
of all the ways I've tried to make myself a
better person over the last you know, the decade of
my thirties. Here coming from the wild man, pissed off
redneck of my earlier years.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Sure, we're all been there.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
The biggest thing I have changed is how I react
behind the wheel. I used to be the guy that
would tailgate you with a middle finger out the window,
telling you to get the hell out of the way.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I was.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I was the guy that if you uh you know,
swerved next to me in a lane as we were
on a turn or going around a bend, I would
get in front of you and yell at you out
the window.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Used to be the guy that would lay on the.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Horn if you weren't if the light I'd turned green
and you didn't go in the first point twenty second.
I was pretty and pretty uh just uh wound pretty
tightly behind it. And you know, it doesn't help when
I would always tell my roommate my wife, you know, uh, well,
what are you going to do when someone comes charging
(07:49):
after you? Was like, well, we're we're faster than them.
My war is faster. We just outrun them. That's what
I've done my literally my whole life. That's how I've
handled these situations. And then one day we're driving, we
happened to be near the entrance to one of the.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Bases here uh in in San Antonio. Uh Out.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
We were back on Harry wurzbought over on the backside
of nine and get to a stoplight. The guy in
front of me, he's he's in the lane next to us,
but uh you know, a car length or so in
front of me.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
As I'm pulling up to the red light, he.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Swerves in front of us real quick to get because
he wanted to get around there was a car in
front of him. He wanted to be the first car
at the red light. Which, yeah, you got there. Yeah,
But at that point in my life, this was seven
eight years ago, at that point in my life, I
took that as a massive, massive sign of disrespect. You
(08:50):
just openly disrespected me while I have my woman in
the front seat.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
This aggression will not stand.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
That at.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
As H. W.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Bush said, we we, we can't can't let it stand.
So you know, I'm smoking a heater. I got my
arm hanging out the window. I pinched the cherry out,
pinch the butt, and flick the butt onto the back.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Of his car.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
That's good. Did that?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
He jumps out of the car and it's some super
teed up marine. I mean he's got he's got his
uh you know, US Marine Corps shirt on, he's jacked.
He I mean, he absolutely would have rolled me, you know,
up and down the street if it had elevated to
an actual physical confrontation. It was clearly someone I didn't
want to mess with. And he's telling me, you know,
(09:44):
get out of the car, blank, get out of the car,
you know all this, and I finally I go, dude,
I'm about to run your ass over like you get
back in your car. And of course at that point,
i'm you know, it's we're elevating hostility version yeah, And
finally stuff goes.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I thought we could all. I thought you could always
just run away from these situations. I thought you were
always faster than them, and you could.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Get not always, yeah, not always.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
We were boxed in that day, and luckily that kind
of served as the uh A bit of the like
patient zero moment where I decided, you know what, none
of this is worth it.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
None of it is worth it. So here's what you
could have done.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
You could have literally videoed now you know now that
you have a phone, video this person, and then you
call over to the to the base. If you're this
kind of person. This is what I'm talking about. This
is who I'm talking about. Then you video, you video,
you call over to the base. I have this man's name,
(10:48):
I have his tag number of him on video. He
was gonna assault me. Guess where that guy gets to
spend the next six months, probably doing some type of
KP and and you've got people calling you, going, please
don't have this man arrested. Please don't do This is
what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
You.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
You may win the fight, but believe me, when the
war's over, you will lose, and they will win. And
they don't have anything, they have no reason to win,
but they will because they'll grab a lawyer and they'll
sue you. They'll they'll have you arrested. And then once
you're arrested, depending on what your job is, like our heart,
if we get arrested, man, we're out. They don't they know,
(11:30):
you know, talk about it later, that.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
They cut you loose immediately. And I've known people they did.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
And uh, I knew a guy that got in an
altercation Oklahoma as a DJ, and uh, the guy just
totally started it at an auto part store. He got
out of his car. He was you know, it wasn't no,
this guy was threatening him and uh, there wasn't.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
None of this.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I thought I was I thought he was gonna hurt me.
I thought this guy the DJ hit this guy first.
He hit him first. And even though he said I
thought he was going to kill me, didn't matter. He
got arrested because he threw the first punch. He went
to jail. When he got out of jail the next day,
(12:19):
he went by the radio station to report it to
a supervisor. And guess what, they already knew all about it,
and they had his termination papers ready.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Yeah, we just need and he was a popular DJ.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, they don't. They don't.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
And that's most jobs. If it's a good job, it's
a career. Let's talk about career versus jobs. If it's
a career, your career is over.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
It's done. If you hit somebody, hurt somebody, God help
you kill him. You know.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
See, this is where it reminds me of when you
see all of these you know, spoiled punk ass fans
that are just harassing athletes while they have their phone out,
just that the athlete will say something back, or you know,
like h Jason Kelcey, Uh, during college football season. He
was at a Penn State game. He was carrying a
(13:06):
case of beer in one hand, and uh, you know
the guy there was a kid following him, just yelling
at him, antagonizing, making fun of Travis for dating, uh
you know, Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
And finally Jason and.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Had enough turned around, grabbed the kid's phone and smashed it.
And then it's like, that's exactly what that kid wanted.
Now you've given him.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yeah, yeah, I guess right right midcheck, you know.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Yeah, you've created the victim. But that is going back
to the beginning of this episode. I think the thing
I don't think I'll ever own a Tesla, just because
I'm not ready to be an electric vehicle person yet.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Right.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
The thing I love most about him is the recording feature.
How they're all like you see it all the time.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Here.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
We had a Medal of Honor recipient a couple of
years ago in San Antonio had his literal Metical of
Honor stolen out of a Tesla, but because it auto recorded,
he had it set to record. Yeah, they got the
footage of the guys smashing the window and you know,
smashing grab and we're able to find it and track
(14:13):
down his metal and it you know, some of these,
some of these videos we've seen of people rub rubbing
like dog crap on tesla's or keying them.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I mean, it's all being caught on video.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
You gotta know, you gotta know you're going to get caught,
and that part I actually, I mean, I will lose
hours of my life watching Russian dash cam.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Oh my god, it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
And it's to the point where I'm I've been threatening
for years to buy a dash cam just to record
all these you know, back again, back when I was
being a little more road rage. Ye.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
But now, at least if you're gonna do something stupid
to someone's vehicle, no matter what their politics are or
any of that crap, at least that one is going
to it and you're probably gonna get busted.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I spent I think it was an hour one day
down the down the reels rabbit hole. Oh yeah, wheels
that had come off car or big trucks mostly, but
rolling you know, and hitting stuff and hitting people and
hitting and it was there's so many people whose wheels
are coming off their car.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
World wide, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Uh, And it's just the number of people that the
wheel went by them and they didn't get hit, but
was so close.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I mean, it's.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Unbelievable the number of people that are near miss with
some straight truck wheel. And there's there's one that takes
out this front porch column.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
And this wheel comes.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I mean it's a country setting out in the middle
with the neighborhood, you know, and all of a sudden,
you don't see where this wheel coming from. I mean
it's coming from a mile away, and all of a
sudden it rolls up the street, wide open and hits
this column and knocks it out of the porch.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
You know, nobody was standing. Everything. God, but it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Of all the places that could have gone, it went
smacked to the load weight bearing portion of somebody's Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
The whole thing just caving in, you know. But there
was one one of them. It was an eighteen wheeler truck.
Wheel came off and there was a stack of wheels
and tires.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
It was like a truck repair place.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
And outside the place, he's got a stack of tires
and wheels and he's doing something and he turns around
and this big eighteen wheeler wheel misses him by inches.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Slams in it and he just.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Down on his knees like, oh my God from behind,
and then it bounces like three times and bounces into
the stack like it was stacked there. Yeah, and it
lines up perfect, and the guy stands up and he's looking.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Around, going, what the hell was it?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
He never saw it, he never saw what wheel it was,
and he was like, what is what on God's name
was that noise?
Speaker 4 (17:05):
If I was that man, there are only two outcomes
at the end of that shift. Either one I am
I am flying to Thailand to become a Buddhist monk
and committing my life to a understanding beyond.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
That which I currently hold.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Or two, I am ultimately convinced we just live in
a matrix and I just saw the greatest outcome of
the simulation.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You need to you need to watch that one. Look up.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
The guy nearly it with truck tire doesn't know it
or can't figure out how it'll show that one, and
it was just you sit there and you go, first
of all, the luckiest man in the world. But second
of all, he was looking around and was going, what
in God's name was that?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
You know?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
He could not figure it out, and it was great.
All right, well you're listening to the Bama Brown experience.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
To quit tearing up people's cars, leave teslas alone. You know, Vote,
that's all you can do. Vote and if you vote,
you've done your part, So that's all you can do.
