What do you do when a runaway truck is barreling toward a cliff—and you're laughing too hard to stop it? In this wild and wonderfully offbeat episode of The Bama Brown Experience, Bama and Puma take listeners on a ride through the heart of Hill Country chaos, vintage car flips, and the kind of backwoods hilarity that only they can deliver. From a near-death Trans Am pickup gone sideways to a 70-year-old man’s $10,000 bathroom emergency at Sam’s Club, this episode is packed with unforgettable stories that blur the line between absurd and authentic.
Bama shares a classic tale of rescuing a '77 black Trans Am from the scrapyard, only to nearly lose a friend—and the car—down a cliff. The duo also dives into Puma’s childhood memories of calling a family friend “the Unibomber” (with unsettling accuracy), and how that nickname once derailed a serious business deal.
The episode takes a reflective turn as they discuss the real-life legacy of Ted Kaczynski, the dangers of extremism, and the eerie coincidence of Bama’s wife growing up next to the infamous cabin. It’s a moment of unexpected depth in an otherwise laugh-out-loud hour.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
The carrier pigeon and I'll write a transcript of what
the episode.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Put in my my deep purple eight track and you know,
let me go.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Back, and now we're talking.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
It's nice in fact that a transam that came through.
This is a great story. This buddy of mine called,
you know, I do old cars, and that's one of
the things somebody said, is your podcast it's going to
be old cars. I go, no, but yeah, a lot
of it is.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
But when I take offense to.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
That, yeah, I had about one hundred just junk cars,
and I would flip projects. That's what I did. I
didn't have many finished ones or you know, very few,
but I would sell these projects. I sold all of them,
over one hundred. I sold, made a little money here
and there. But a guy called me and he goes,
I'm headed to the scrap yard and I said, really,
what do you got? He said, I got a black
(01:53):
seventy seven transam and I went, oh, dude, and uh
he said yeah. He said it's miss in the engine transmission,
but he said the rest of it's there. And then
he said it's not that bad. And I said, well,
what are you on for it. He said, I want
one thousand dollars and I go, the scrapper is not
going to give you one thousand dollars and he said,
I know that, but I know you will because you
(02:14):
can't stand and know this car got scrapped, and scrap
of a bitch that's just sure enough shows up with it,
unloads it. It was in great shape. I mean it
really was, and uh, all complete black gold trim, no
t tops, but was in That's why I still had
a great interior. Didn't have the de tops, it was
(02:37):
and it was really good even had the even had
the transam wheels. I mean, it was all there and
was an easy project. And I had a guy call
me and and uh, he'd been looking for a car.
He said, I Chavelle or Firebird or something. I called him.
I said, I had his transam over here. And he
shows up and he fell in love with it, and
so he said, uh, what do you want? I said
(02:57):
fifteen hundred bucks even to have that title, which was unusual
for a lot of those. And he said, all right, yeah,
I'm I'm gonna want that. I seen him a picture
he hadn't come and looked at it. Yeh, I seen picture.
He's yeah, fifteen, you know, I want to come get
see he comes with his trailer. It's totally true. So
I live kind of on a slope. My whole property
is a slope with a basically a cliff on the
(03:19):
left side that just cliffs off into a valley.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Why they call it the hill country.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
That's exactly right. So uh and so this transam is
behind this truck, and so the guy gets there. Well,
I had a buddy that showed up and I said, okay,
he's there with his trailer, and he's got his pretty
new wife, who you can tell is not interested in
this and certainly doesn't want to be around these hillbillies.
You know. She was really scared. I mean I think
(03:48):
she was frightened. And so there's this truck, no motor transmission,
this truck, you know, which means no breaks either, you know.
And it was a sixty five dollars Chevy truck. And
so I got a jeep that I moved stuff with,
you know, and I had my old record that was
on TV. A lot of people saw that I'd moved
(04:08):
with this. So I had a chain that I wrapped
around the bumper of this truck and then I was
putting it around the hitch. So I don't know what
vehicle I had to have a hitch, but the trailer
dch so maybe that jeep. Anyway, so we got to
pull this truck out of the way in order to
get this transam loading. This guy's car p this truck,
(04:30):
but he's in the truck and we go and I
feel it and the jacobs on.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Oh no, no, he starts rolling back.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
He's about a good I'm going to say, two hundred
feet from this cliff. So he's rolling back and picking
up his feet, and I jump out of the truck
and there's no brakes, there's no mercy break, there's nothing.
He's in a free roll baby, headed backwards towards.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
This and there was a got to do something this start.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
There was a pile of tires and he turned the
wheel just in time to drive up the back up
on this pile of tires, and he falls out of
the truck laughing, and I come down the hill and
I'm like, we're both laughing so hard that this guy's wife. Yeah,
both of them got in the car. They already paid me.
(05:23):
He already paid me. The buddy They both got into
the truck and drove off.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
This is this is this is too much.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
He drove down the street.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Cold.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
He called back, sper're scared, really scared, voises only where
dogs can hear him. He says, you're scared, scared me,
you scared. Both of them were scared. I said, well,
come on back, you know, that's nothing's going to happen. Now,
you can come back and we'll tie onto your transam
and you can leave, you know. And yeah, and he said,
well it's nothing. It was scared. It was how much
(05:59):
y'all were laughing about how much fun you were having.
One of you and nearly got killed, you know. And
I was like, yeah, it's yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
That's how that's a way of life. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
But he's just like, I've never seen such a bunch
of white trash in my life, you know that. Just anyway,
he but they got their trains lam and they went on.
I never saw him again. I don't know if it
I suspect. She said, don't you ever go back there again?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
My uh, you know, growing up, my grandpa did a
lot of the same style of you know, just swapping trade.
Never really you know, or he would specifically do a
certain part of it, and then you know, the guy
would come pick it up and uh, he would do
a lot of the body work and they would bring
you know, vehicles like that that were just you know hills,
(06:42):
you know, doing the body work before they put all
the components back into it. And there was he had
a buddy named Dean. Uh that me as a kid,
I called him the unibomb because he.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Literally looked like because you.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And so there was there was one time they had
a guy that I had found him, you know, met
through uh you know, several shades of acquaintances and didn't
know my grandpa or Dean, but knew the guy that
knew them. You know, he's coming out there and he's
(07:21):
coming out to pick up is the body of whatever
it was they were building. And I kept calling Dean
the unibomber in this guy, and I didn't even think.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
About it whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Like the guy started getting really uncomfortable, like, uh, can
I just give you the money and get out of here?
Like I was a kid, you know, Like but it
was again just rednecks, three rednecks, one of them twelve
years old, calling this dude with a long scraggly beard
and long hair the unibomber while my grandpa is trying
(07:58):
to conduct serious business.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
My wife is from Montana. She's from Great Falls, and
where they grew up. They had a cabin in the woods.
It was not there where they lived, but they had
a cabin out of woods and it was in the
next door property to the unifomer, you know, in later years,
I mean they had sold it or whatever. But we
(08:22):
got a Christmas card from a guy that lived up
there by them that she was, you know, still new uh.
And he had Kazinski's mailbox. He it was still there,
said Kazinski on it, and he had a picture on
his Christmas card and he had a package and was
putting it in Kazinsky's mailbox, said I'm sending you a
(08:43):
special Christmas, Gill. And then he told me that somebody
had stole the mailbox. So the FBI came out and
just got the whole cabin. I mean they loaded the
whole dell up and took it as evidence. So he said,
I don't know who got that. He said, I didn't
get the mailbox. Who did? But he said maybe they did,
but he had done this deal. Uh, I said anybody,
(09:06):
or he goes, no, I ever, you know, but I go,
did you know the guy goes, oh yeahybuddy. You know
he said, he said, if you want to arrest some
loaner freaks in Montana, you better bring a whole bus,
because he said everybody that's around them was some kind
of you know.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
The whole state is what I've always from obviously from
that story from a young age, have been a bit
obsessed with well hell uh, you know, going back to
our conversation earlier this week about the protesters, like, no
matter what you're protesting or what you believe, violence is
not going to further your cause with with the masses
(09:43):
and Kazinski besides the bombing people and boy like, he
had a lot of points that were pretty true in
the long run, a lot of ideas that people weren't
necessarily ready to hear.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
He made a lot oftions that have come true.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I mean very very very true.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Just supposed to blow people up to get the attention,
but I.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Mean problem that's where you know, throwing the rock the
bombs through the mail that that's going to lose from
the masses for your accurate turns out to be accurate predictions.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
There's a there's an old movie, The Wild Ones and
Marlon Brando where he's and he's in a motorcize the
leader of a motorcycle gang that comes into this little
town and the guy goes, I'll never forget. The guy goes, well,
what are you all protesting? And he goes, what do
you got? What you got plastic line? What do you
(10:42):
brought it? What you got? Yeah, he's a biker, biker trash. Here.
I've known a few biker trash good guys. Actually, uh here,
let's change the subject, make it, make it a little better.
Here's a if you're wasting money on high here, Yeah,
let's end it on a high. If you're wasting money,
here are the five things. They did a bunch of
surveys and they said, this is people, this is how
(11:04):
you're wasting money. If you want to immediately turn your
economic situation around. Number five, your television. How many different
apps you have on your TV? You think you got too?
You watch Netflix, you watch one or two other, Hulu,
you probably have twelve to fifteen. That's like two hundred
and fifty bucks a month, and you're not even looking. Go
(11:24):
and check. They said, check in the last six months.
Some of those that you're paying for you haven't looked
at anything on there.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Oh and up, and you're paying more than you would
for regular cable, like you used.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
It right exactly. Number four, when you dump the leftovers,
you brought those leftovers home, you never do eat them
because you just ate that very thing a minute ago,
you know, yesterday, So you're not gonna want the same
thing twice. Anyway, that's a way they said, just order
smaller portions or go One of the things to say
is go with the friend and split it, and you're
(11:55):
gonna eat as much and you'll still get full. Slow
down when you eat Number three convenience food.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Any restaurant that doesn't serve me like I'm a giant
human and I still can split a meal at any
Italian absolutely my wife and have plenty.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Yeah, I'm the only person that eats those little Debbie
oatmeal cakes when they doubled the size and went, well,
this is something y'all should have done from years ago,
you know, because one little Debbie oatmeal cake isn't enough.
You have to have two, you know, double decks anyway. Yeah,
and then I pee syrup for about a week after
(12:37):
I eat one of those. But that's fine. Uh, A
convenience food starts speaking of little debbies and going in
convenience dude and getting you you know, and they counted
they put a slash or that with the coffee. You know,
if you I mean, you can immediately if you just
cut it in half, cut everything in half on that
kind of stuff, you're going to see a savings of
maybe two hundred dollars a month. That's a little of money, you.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Know, up quick.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
You don't think about it, but you go in, you
grab a gatorade or a bottle of water. M you know,
a bag of chips three times a week.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, boom, hundred bucks a month, yeah exactly. And so
you could you could cut some of that out. Online
impulse buying, they said, for ladies buying a lot of
the same clothes that you're already owned. And they said,
you're not even digging in looking at what you got
your ordering because you have a certain style you like,
you order more of the same thing. And they said,
(13:32):
if you would just go in and look and see
what you've got, you might be surprised.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I have a confession.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I did some pretty bad impulse buying this week when
stuff was out of town.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Would you get so.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Lego sells they sell like it's it's their legos, but
they're more like models made out of legos. Yea, I
bought every single Formula one car that they had, have
the whole starting of Lego Formula.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Well, that's that's an investment. That's not that's waste. I told.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
That's what I told. Stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
When I, uh, when I sell one of my four
Model A Forwards, all yell at you. I'll go, Okay,
that's it, Like I need nobody needs four of anything,
and I have four broke down Model A Forwards. Everybody
needs four ninety year old cars, okay? Uh? And then
they uh, let's see what was the last Well, the
last one was obvious eating out. If you're eating out
(14:27):
a lot, then uh, you're gonna find yourself and you know,
broke all the time. And because of the prices and stuff.
Uh you want to get a couple of boneheads and
get out of here with that?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Oh, I knew you would appreciate this. The music store
from Wayne's World closed, they had to close down. Yeah,
that was terrible. That's bad and we're gonna random.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Steph and I were just talking about how we're gonna
watch Wayne's World this weekend because we were talking about
old SNL movies that we hadn't watched, like you know, heads,
we were gonna do a full sen L movie weekend
at trying to stay party and stay inside.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
To this day, I go, do you exempt cash? I
still saying that you know? And and these you know,
young people in the store are like, sure, you know,
they don't get it.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
You know, I the one that most that is completely
random that it's always fun when someone gets it. Then
it tells me that they are actually like, Okay, I
think I might click with this person when I say,
but I don't even own a gun, like you bought
me a gun, rack, I don't even own a gun.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
When Alice Cooper it might have been in two and
Alice Cooper knew technical about what was it the town
they were in.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
He knew all the history and the Alin Indians and yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
They were discussing it.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
This movie holds up. It's so good to this day.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Let's get a couple of boneheads and we'll get out
of here. Uh so we got let's see Asia outer right,
Asia outer Bright was she was doing. They were letting
her have her trial on the computer. She was doing
a doing a trial on the on the zoom with
(16:21):
the judge, and she started making a peanut butter and
jelly sandwich while.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
She was trying to save money.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
She'd already been late getting on there. And the judge goes,
I'm sorry, are you making a sandwich? And she goes, yes, sir,
I'm missing lunch. And he goes, you're gonna be missing lunch.
We're gonna feed you because I'm revoking your pro hole
and you're coming in you know A.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
This is like, yeah, when we hopped on to record this,
I was still eating on a bag, munching on a
bag gette from leftover from my lunch chili, and you
told just just eat your bag at an hour like
taking We're.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
We're not in that big a rush. But to Puma's credit, man,
he's been all week long. We've had troubles and he
was trying to get it done. But all right, so
here's my favorite. This is one for the old guys,
and we'll get out of here on this one. So
Patrick Mitchell, I don't know what town he's in. He
went into a Sam's club. He's seventy years old. Patrick's
(17:20):
seventy well, like a lot of seventy year olds. All
of a sudden, Patrick realizes I got a pee. He
goes up to the clerk and he says, look, I
got a pee and I got to like pee like
right now. And the guy goes, Okay, a bathroom. You
go through the double doors and you go back there.
So Patrick goes back there. He can't find the bathroom.
All he can find is his cases and cases and stuff,
(17:42):
and he's like, I'm gonna have to go. So Patrick
peas on a packaged two packages of pallettes, two pallettes
with packages, and he peed on ten thousand, five hundred
dollars worth of spam and Vienna sausages in the raffer
in the can they were they were in there, but
(18:03):
he peed all over him because he couldn't help himself,
and he said, I couldn't find the bathroom. So now
that Peete costume ten thousand, five hundred dollars, they're told
him we're not going to arrest you unless got to
make restitution. And so he had to pay for the
Vienna sausages at the at the spam. Now did they
(18:27):
get rid of him? I don't know Ben a Sam's Club.
I'm assuming they did, so I'm hoping.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
If I if I'm seventy years old and I get
busted for peeing on ten grand or the spam and
Uyena sausages, I at least expect to be able to
take home the ten thousand dollars of spam and Vienna.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Sausages because it's just on the outside. I'm still yeah, I'm.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Still the trunk. Fill the trunk.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Come yeah, I've got dinner for the rest of my life.
If I'm saying I guarantee you.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I guarantee you. You go. You go on marketplace, and
they've been pete on, but they're still in the case.
You're going to sell every one of them. You're not
losing on that.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I mean, how many like rodents and warehouses have beat
on those. That's why they always tell you, uh, you know,
always wash off anything you get from a grocery store
because it's been in.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Anybody anybody, and most of everybody listens to this. Anybody's
sitting at a roach coach. I'm telling you, you know, because
it starts out at a grocery store. And restaurant, and
you know.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
It ends up.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
It ends up, roach coach. If it doesn't go on
the track, All right, well there you go. I'd probably
if you're getting this at lunch time, that probably gonna
help you keep them at weight. Off right there, Spam

unloads it. It was in great shape. I mean it
really was, and uh, all complete black gold trim, no
t tops, but was in That's why I still had
a great interior. Didn't have the de tops, it was
(02:37):
and it was really good even had the even had
the transam wheels. I mean, it was all there and
was an easy project. And I had a guy call
me and and uh, he'd been looking for a car.
He said, I Chavelle or Firebird or something. I called him.
I said, I had his transam over here. And he
shows up and he fell in love with it, and
so he said, uh, what do you want? I said
(02:57):
fifteen hundred bucks even to have that title, which was unusual
for a lot of those. And he said, all right, yeah,
I'm I'm gonna want that. I seen him a picture
he hadn't come and looked at it. Yeh, I seen picture.
He's yeah, fifteen, you know, I want to come get
see he comes with his trailer. It's totally true. So
I live kind of on a slope. My whole property
is a slope with a basically a cliff on the
(03:19):
left side that just cliffs off into a valley.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Why they call it the hill country.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
That's exactly right. So uh and so this transam is
behind this truck, and so the guy gets there. Well,
I had a buddy that showed up and I said, okay,
he's there with his trailer, and he's got his pretty
new wife, who you can tell is not interested in
this and certainly doesn't want to be around these hillbillies.
You know. She was really scared. I mean I think
(03:48):
she was frightened. And so there's this truck, no motor transmission,
this truck, you know, which means no breaks either, you know.
And it was a sixty five dollars Chevy truck. And
so I got a jeep that I moved stuff with,
you know, and I had my old record that was
on TV. A lot of people saw that I'd moved
(04:08):
with this. So I had a chain that I wrapped
around the bumper of this truck and then I was
putting it around the hitch. So I don't know what
vehicle I had to have a hitch, but the trailer
dch so maybe that jeep. Anyway, so we got to
pull this truck out of the way in order to
get this transam loading. This guy's car p this truck,
(04:30):
but he's in the truck and we go and I
feel it and the jacobs on.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Oh no, no, he starts rolling back.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
He's about a good I'm going to say, two hundred
feet from this cliff. So he's rolling back and picking
up his feet, and I jump out of the truck
and there's no brakes, there's no mercy break, there's nothing.
He's in a free roll baby, headed backwards towards.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
This and there was a got to do something this start.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
There was a pile of tires and he turned the
wheel just in time to drive up the back up
on this pile of tires, and he falls out of
the truck laughing, and I come down the hill and
I'm like, we're both laughing so hard that this guy's wife. Yeah,
both of them got in the car. They already paid me.
(05:23):
He already paid me. The buddy They both got into
the truck and drove off.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
This is this is this is too much.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
He drove down the street.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Cold.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
He called back, sper're scared, really scared, voises only where
dogs can hear him. He says, you're scared, scared me,
you scared. Both of them were scared. I said, well,
come on back, you know, that's nothing's going to happen. Now,
you can come back and we'll tie onto your transam
and you can leave, you know. And yeah, and he said,
well it's nothing. It was scared. It was how much
(05:59):
y'all were laughing about how much fun you were having.
One of you and nearly got killed, you know. And
I was like, yeah, it's yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
That's how that's a way of life. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
But he's just like, I've never seen such a bunch
of white trash in my life, you know that. Just anyway,
he but they got their trains lam and they went on.
I never saw him again. I don't know if it
I suspect. She said, don't you ever go back there again?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
My uh, you know, growing up, my grandpa did a
lot of the same style of you know, just swapping trade.
Never really you know, or he would specifically do a
certain part of it, and then you know, the guy
would come pick it up and uh, he would do
a lot of the body work and they would bring
you know, vehicles like that that were just you know hills,
(06:42):
you know, doing the body work before they put all
the components back into it. And there was he had
a buddy named Dean. Uh that me as a kid,
I called him the unibomb because he.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Literally looked like because you.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And so there was there was one time they had
a guy that I had found him, you know, met
through uh you know, several shades of acquaintances and didn't
know my grandpa or Dean, but knew the guy that
knew them. You know, he's coming out there and he's
(07:21):
coming out to pick up is the body of whatever
it was they were building. And I kept calling Dean
the unibomber in this guy, and I didn't even think.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
About it whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Like the guy started getting really uncomfortable, like, uh, can
I just give you the money and get out of here?
Like I was a kid, you know, Like but it
was again just rednecks, three rednecks, one of them twelve
years old, calling this dude with a long scraggly beard
and long hair the unibomber while my grandpa is trying
(07:58):
to conduct serious business.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
My wife is from Montana. She's from Great Falls, and
where they grew up. They had a cabin in the woods.
It was not there where they lived, but they had
a cabin out of woods and it was in the
next door property to the unifomer, you know, in later years,
I mean they had sold it or whatever. But we
(08:22):
got a Christmas card from a guy that lived up
there by them that she was, you know, still new uh.
And he had Kazinski's mailbox. He it was still there,
said Kazinski on it, and he had a picture on
his Christmas card and he had a package and was
putting it in Kazinsky's mailbox, said I'm sending you a
(08:43):
special Christmas, Gill. And then he told me that somebody
had stole the mailbox. So the FBI came out and
just got the whole cabin. I mean they loaded the
whole dell up and took it as evidence. So he said,
I don't know who got that. He said, I didn't
get the mailbox. Who did? But he said maybe they did,
but he had done this deal. Uh, I said anybody,
(09:06):
or he goes, no, I ever, you know, but I go,
did you know the guy goes, oh yeahybuddy. You know
he said, he said, if you want to arrest some
loaner freaks in Montana, you better bring a whole bus,
because he said everybody that's around them was some kind
of you know.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
The whole state is what I've always from obviously from
that story from a young age, have been a bit
obsessed with well hell uh, you know, going back to
our conversation earlier this week about the protesters, like, no
matter what you're protesting or what you believe, violence is
not going to further your cause with with the masses
(09:43):
and Kazinski besides the bombing people and boy like, he
had a lot of points that were pretty true in
the long run, a lot of ideas that people weren't
necessarily ready to hear.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
He made a lot oftions that have come true.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I mean very very very true.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Just supposed to blow people up to get the attention,
but I.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Mean problem that's where you know, throwing the rock the
bombs through the mail that that's going to lose from
the masses for your accurate turns out to be accurate predictions.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
There's a there's an old movie, The Wild Ones and
Marlon Brando where he's and he's in a motorcize the
leader of a motorcycle gang that comes into this little
town and the guy goes, I'll never forget. The guy goes, well,
what are you all protesting? And he goes, what do
you got? What you got plastic line? What do you
(10:42):
brought it? What you got? Yeah, he's a biker, biker trash. Here.
I've known a few biker trash good guys. Actually, uh here,
let's change the subject, make it, make it a little better.
Here's a if you're wasting money on high here, Yeah,
let's end it on a high. If you're wasting money,
here are the five things. They did a bunch of
surveys and they said, this is people, this is how
(11:04):
you're wasting money. If you want to immediately turn your
economic situation around. Number five, your television. How many different
apps you have on your TV? You think you got too?
You watch Netflix, you watch one or two other, Hulu,
you probably have twelve to fifteen. That's like two hundred
and fifty bucks a month, and you're not even looking. Go
(11:24):
and check. They said, check in the last six months.
Some of those that you're paying for you haven't looked
at anything on there.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Oh and up, and you're paying more than you would
for regular cable, like you used.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
It right exactly. Number four, when you dump the leftovers,
you brought those leftovers home, you never do eat them
because you just ate that very thing a minute ago,
you know, yesterday, So you're not gonna want the same
thing twice. Anyway, that's a way they said, just order
smaller portions or go One of the things to say
is go with the friend and split it, and you're
(11:55):
gonna eat as much and you'll still get full. Slow
down when you eat Number three convenience food.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Any restaurant that doesn't serve me like I'm a giant
human and I still can split a meal at any
Italian absolutely my wife and have plenty.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Yeah, I'm the only person that eats those little Debbie
oatmeal cakes when they doubled the size and went, well,
this is something y'all should have done from years ago,
you know, because one little Debbie oatmeal cake isn't enough.
You have to have two, you know, double decks anyway. Yeah,
and then I pee syrup for about a week after
(12:37):
I eat one of those. But that's fine. Uh, A
convenience food starts speaking of little debbies and going in
convenience dude and getting you you know, and they counted
they put a slash or that with the coffee. You know,
if you I mean, you can immediately if you just
cut it in half, cut everything in half on that
kind of stuff, you're going to see a savings of
maybe two hundred dollars a month. That's a little of money, you.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Know, up quick.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
You don't think about it, but you go in, you
grab a gatorade or a bottle of water. M you know,
a bag of chips three times a week.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, boom, hundred bucks a month, yeah exactly. And so
you could you could cut some of that out. Online
impulse buying, they said, for ladies buying a lot of
the same clothes that you're already owned. And they said,
you're not even digging in looking at what you got
your ordering because you have a certain style you like,
you order more of the same thing. And they said,
(13:32):
if you would just go in and look and see
what you've got, you might be surprised.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I have a confession.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I did some pretty bad impulse buying this week when
stuff was out of town.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Would you get so.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Lego sells they sell like it's it's their legos, but
they're more like models made out of legos. Yea, I
bought every single Formula one car that they had, have
the whole starting of Lego Formula.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Well, that's that's an investment. That's not that's waste. I told.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
That's what I told. Stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
When I, uh, when I sell one of my four
Model A Forwards, all yell at you. I'll go, Okay,
that's it, Like I need nobody needs four of anything,
and I have four broke down Model A Forwards. Everybody
needs four ninety year old cars, okay? Uh? And then
they uh, let's see what was the last Well, the
last one was obvious eating out. If you're eating out
(14:27):
a lot, then uh, you're gonna find yourself and you know,
broke all the time. And because of the prices and stuff.
Uh you want to get a couple of boneheads and
get out of here with that?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Oh, I knew you would appreciate this. The music store
from Wayne's World closed, they had to close down. Yeah,
that was terrible. That's bad and we're gonna random.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Steph and I were just talking about how we're gonna
watch Wayne's World this weekend because we were talking about
old SNL movies that we hadn't watched, like you know, heads,
we were gonna do a full sen L movie weekend
at trying to stay party and stay inside.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
To this day, I go, do you exempt cash? I
still saying that you know? And and these you know,
young people in the store are like, sure, you know,
they don't get it.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
You know, I the one that most that is completely
random that it's always fun when someone gets it. Then
it tells me that they are actually like, Okay, I
think I might click with this person when I say,
but I don't even own a gun, like you bought
me a gun, rack, I don't even own a gun.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
When Alice Cooper it might have been in two and
Alice Cooper knew technical about what was it the town
they were in.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
He knew all the history and the Alin Indians and yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
They were discussing it.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
This movie holds up. It's so good to this day.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Let's get a couple of boneheads and we'll get out
of here. Uh so we got let's see Asia outer right,
Asia outer Bright was she was doing. They were letting
her have her trial on the computer. She was doing
a doing a trial on the on the zoom with
(16:21):
the judge, and she started making a peanut butter and
jelly sandwich while.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
She was trying to save money.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
She'd already been late getting on there. And the judge goes,
I'm sorry, are you making a sandwich? And she goes, yes, sir,
I'm missing lunch. And he goes, you're gonna be missing lunch.
We're gonna feed you because I'm revoking your pro hole
and you're coming in you know A.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
This is like, yeah, when we hopped on to record this,
I was still eating on a bag, munching on a
bag gette from leftover from my lunch chili, and you
told just just eat your bag at an hour like
taking We're.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
We're not in that big a rush. But to Puma's credit, man,
he's been all week long. We've had troubles and he
was trying to get it done. But all right, so
here's my favorite. This is one for the old guys,
and we'll get out of here on this one. So
Patrick Mitchell, I don't know what town he's in. He
went into a Sam's club. He's seventy years old. Patrick's
(17:20):
seventy well, like a lot of seventy year olds. All
of a sudden, Patrick realizes I got a pee. He
goes up to the clerk and he says, look, I
got a pee and I got to like pee like
right now. And the guy goes, Okay, a bathroom. You
go through the double doors and you go back there.
So Patrick goes back there. He can't find the bathroom.
All he can find is his cases and cases and stuff,
(17:42):
and he's like, I'm gonna have to go. So Patrick
peas on a packaged two packages of pallettes, two pallettes
with packages, and he peed on ten thousand, five hundred
dollars worth of spam and Vienna sausages in the raffer
in the can they were they were in there, but
(18:03):
he peed all over him because he couldn't help himself,
and he said, I couldn't find the bathroom. So now
that Peete costume ten thousand, five hundred dollars, they're told
him we're not going to arrest you unless got to
make restitution. And so he had to pay for the
Vienna sausages at the at the spam. Now did they
(18:27):
get rid of him? I don't know Ben a Sam's Club.
I'm assuming they did, so I'm hoping.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
If I if I'm seventy years old and I get
busted for peeing on ten grand or the spam and
Uyena sausages, I at least expect to be able to
take home the ten thousand dollars of spam and Vienna.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Sausages because it's just on the outside. I'm still yeah, I'm.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Still the trunk. Fill the trunk.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Come yeah, I've got dinner for the rest of my life.
If I'm saying I guarantee you.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I guarantee you. You go. You go on marketplace, and
they've been pete on, but they're still in the case.
You're going to sell every one of them. You're not
losing on that.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I mean, how many like rodents and warehouses have beat
on those. That's why they always tell you, uh, you know,
always wash off anything you get from a grocery store
because it's been in.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Anybody anybody, and most of everybody listens to this. Anybody's
sitting at a roach coach. I'm telling you, you know, because
it starts out at a grocery store. And restaurant, and
you know.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
It ends up.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
