In this laugh-out-loud and unexpectedly heartfelt installment of The Bama Brown Experience, Bama and Puma dive headfirst into the chaos of NFL season kickoff, roasting the Cowboys with brutal honesty and hilarious one-liners. From Lowe’s commercials to quarterback comparisons, no sports topic is safe.

But the real magic happens when Bama takes us on a nostalgic journey through his unexpected brush with Hollywood fame. Ever wondered what it’s like to be waxed on national TV by Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie? Bama spills the behind-the-scenes tea from his appearance on The Simple Life, including a Chihuahua with a diamond necklace and a failed James Bond-style pickup attempt that ends in smoky rejection.

The episode also takes a poignant turn as Bama reflects on Austin’s transformation from a small-town vibe to big-city tragedy, sharing his personal connection to the infamous Yogurt Shop Murders and the eerie shift in the city’s safety and spirit.

Tune In Now! If you love football, fame, and a good dose of Texas storytelling, this episode is a must-listen. Hit subscribe, leave us a review, and share this episode with someone who needs a laugh (or a reminder that even celebrities have awkward moments).

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Well, hi everybody, Maamma Brown with you on the Maam
mc brown experience, the incredible show that it is. Okay,
already lying not even a min and in here. It's
popular when you're sick and shut in a lot of
that's couz of Puma, the Big Cat. Now, big night
tonight for you sports guys. Man. It'll be the first
Cowboys lost tonight with the Eagles.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
So you're not to get your jokes in now and
get your jokes in potentially for the rest of the season.
This thing could get ugly starting tonight, but alas as
a proper authentic Cowboy fan, we will watch in misery nonetheless.
Yeah no, we're kicking NFL season kicking off. We've had
our college football fun last weekend, the holiday weekend. We

(00:48):
got all of our college football emotions out of the way.
Now it's time for the big boys. Now, it's time
for the NFL tonight. And yeah, I you know, as
soon as the Cowboys traded Micah, that line in Vegas
moved about a point and a half in the Eagle favor.
So it was already going to be an uphill climb.
It just got quite a bit harder this week.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Let me let me do one one and get it
out of the way, and that'll be the only one
to do all year. To you, what do Dak Prescott
and doctor Billy Graham have in common?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
I don't know, Bama. What do Dak Prescott and doctor
Billy Graham have in common?

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Both of them can get a stadium full of people
to stand up and yell Jesus Christ, that's correct.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
That's correct. Look until he shows otherwise I'll take I'll
take the flogging, I'll take the cat of nine tails
when it comes to Dak because yeah, it's uh. You
can't be the highest paid quarterback in the league and
not put out joke performances.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
He's in a Low's commercial. You know, he's a low spokesperson.
You need to get an apron some bits and just
go and get over in the lumberyard and start. That's
how I feel about him, but overrated aikman. You start
naming you know, guys, did you get in him? And

(02:05):
you go Romo?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
I mean, even if you look at the statistics, you
look at the numbers, Dak and Tony Romo are damn
near identical at this point in their careers, and Dak
still has some time to rewrite the narrative. But uh yeah,
only only the eternal optimist would tell you they have
hope that that happened.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Ain't gonna happen. I'm free, all right. So, uh, here's
the top top dog brand, a dog dog breed. I
guess I should say in twenty twenty five. You wanna
you wanna guess it? Uh well, I'll let you guess
at number one. Let me start. I'm just started in here.
I don't even know where I'm starting at. Uh, number five,
let's do it that way. Uh, number five is a shepherd.

(02:47):
Number four is a yorkey. Oh yeah, three is a
pit bull. Always two lab door, you know labs. But
number one take a guess. Uh Chihuaha chihuaala number one,
Oh man.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
My San Antonio, my neighbor around the corner here. I
swear it has thirteen Chihuahas and they all just hang
out in the front yard. It's literally it looks like
a petting zoo for chihuala.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
I'm going to tell you this. Other than that, you're
not gonna believe I was on The Simple Life season two.
You didn't know that with Paris and the coal.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Oh I forgot she had. I was trying to figure
out why, how this Chiwalas got us here? I forget.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
They came to Austin. They called me and they said,
we want you to be on The Simple Life with
Paris and the coal. Uh. Paris, absolutely, when you look
into those eyes, you do whatever she asked you, just okay,
kill some much sure. Uh. Now the cole was fun
and the Cole was funny, and so Paris was. They
were very nice. But we filmed for about four hours

(03:49):
and they used about a thirty second segment of it.
But I was on the show season two. Uh, they
look it up. Uh they waxed my back, which my
back was not that hairy, but they waxed. And uh,
at the at the end, after they're pulling it, it
was a guy told me that the guy the forty
the forty year old version of where I was screaming

(04:11):
that they said that's where they got the idea from.
I don't believe that, but that's what I did. I'm
laying on the table and they're slapping that stuff on
there and they're pulling it and I'm screaming, you know,
and then at the end, the cole gets down in
front of me, and she goes, you want me to
do your balls? You know, it hurt a lot. Anyway,
we shot a lot of stuff, but where I was

(04:31):
going with Chihua, they were. It was the final filming
of for them for the season. I don't think they
ran them in that order, but they were filming and
this camera guy you could tell he was He goes,
hold this damn dog, and he was. And I'm so,
I'm sitting there holding her Chihua with a real diamond
necklace around its neck, and I go, this dog has

(04:52):
got more money than I have. This dog has worth
more than I have. And so I sat there holding
his Chihuala. But they were It was a fun and uh,
it was a fun day to shoot with them and
I they were very nice and very funny. And uh,
I'll tell you the coolest thing that happened. All right. So, uh,
I filmed early on, I mean like early in the day.

(05:13):
I filmed my segment with him, and there was what
the whole crew, all of them were great. They were
all super nice, but there was one guy really didn't
talk to anybody. It sat over in a chair and
the camera guy was standing there and they were talking
to him, and he said that guy over there decides
what makes it and what doesn't. And uh, I said,

(05:34):
oh okay, and he said he's they're talking and pointing
at you. He goes, you just made the show. So
he said they were. You know, so they're gonna come
over and tell you you got to stick around. They're
gonna film more. And they did. They filmed another hour
with me. We were fighting once. We're hugging and loving
on each other once where you know, it's like all
these different deals to edit. Yeah, and uh so but

(05:55):
while I so, I went outside waiting. It was at
a hair salon at Anderson Lane and Burnett Rhoades. If
you're in Austin, you kind of know where I'm talking
about there Anderson Lane, Burnett Road. Uh, kind of near
the old mall there anyway, So I'm gonna just stand
outside his hair salon. Uh, in a parking lot. It's
in a lot. There was a lot of uh you know,

(06:15):
it's a just regular business parking lot deal, you know
with other buildings and paris and the cold. I mean,
security guys are inside, but there's nobody out and they
walk out to have a cigarette break, and so they
kind of went already talked a little bit, but they
come out and we're standing there and it's so it's
the three of us. I'm standing there with Paris Hilton,
you know, and either Yeah, I'm just standing there and

(06:38):
there and they're both burned, you know. But Paris, uh,
they they couldn't get the lighter to light, and Paris
had her cigarette, and all of a sudden, this guy
walks up from him and he I don't know who,
if he was there with us, or was in the
parking lot or what it was. He walks up. So
it's me Nicole standing by each other in Pariser and
the guy light he does his cigarette lighter. James Bond

(07:00):
likes Paris' cigarette, and so Nicole and I stepped back
because it's kind of okay, let's see what you got,
you know, like he's mister Coole, you know, let's see
what you got. And I'll never forget. This guy goes,
I know what he was trying to do. So he goes,

(07:22):
I heard about your grandfather. So what he's trying to
say is I know the family history. I know how
cool it is that your family started the Hiltons, you know,
and I know about you. I'm not just about you
and and being hot and your ass. It's about your
history of your family.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Her family legacy, the heir right, and I.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Want to be part of that. I want I want
you for you, Paris, not because you know, and that's
what he said. I heard about your grandfather, real cool
like that. Now what came out was I heard about
your grandfather, in which Paris said, what happened to my grandfather?

Speaker 2 (08:01):
That's what That's what I thought. It was like, had
he just died or yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:05):
And then and that's exactly how it came across. And
then when Nicole and I standing there, it was like
watching the Bama Brown movie where then he goes, no, no,
I mean you know, I always started, you know, and
and I'll never forget. I wish this was on TV
boom I could do. I could show you how she did.

(08:25):
She did. She had her cigarette, she hadn't said anything,
and she went and turned her head, blew the cigarette
smoke out, turned her head, and that guy put his
head down and walked off.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
He had but the coal fine to just give up
and walk away.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Nicole and him had been out at the Round Rock
Express the night before. As they filmed out there too,
and Nicole looked at me and she went swinging a
miss sad and I know he heard her, but I
was like, ah, man, you had I know where you
were going with this. I know you what you were
trying to do.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
But it makes it even worse that he flew so
close to the sun, walking there looking cool, lighting a
cigarette and thinking all good, so far. Now let's actually
opened my mouth and talk and then immediately just calm
a cozy.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Blew blew it. It's just it was terrible. It was
horrible to watch.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
But yeah, that sounds painful. It's even painful hearing this
poor this poor suckers.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
So if you, if you, if you want to get
a chance, you can. I think you can pull that
scene up from season two.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Uh, I've got a note. Now I'm about to die.
I'm about to dig into YouTube try to find that.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
It's back when I was really really fat too and
so but I think I had a shot with her. No,
it was, but she was really they were really sweet.
They weren't. They weren't assholes at all like you might
think or you know, get from them. They were they
were I enjoyed the time we the day we spent together.
So that's kind of cool.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
So yeah, how many way TV we need to just
one day go down your list of TV credits.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Well, it's that and then the American You know that
I was on the Iron Resurrection. You know there was
American hot Rod that a guy called me about. I
never did. But uh, the other one was it was
the Uh was the I'll tell you what I was
nearly on and it's weird. Uh. I just watched The
Yogurt Shop Murder. U.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Oh we haven't started it yet. Yeah, it's on the list.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
So you know, I was at Z one o two
at the time, and I mean that was I drove
by there that night on the way to the morning
show and I was doing mornings of Z one to
two and I drove I lived in that neighborhood. I
was one block from the two sisters and uh just horrible.
I mean, as when Austin became a big city. But
uh so I drove down that street at four thirty.

(10:53):
I didn't see anything. I didn't I don't know if
it had it obviously it happened, but I didn't see
anything going. I didn't notice any thing or remember anything.
But of course we did stories and everything, but they
have a uh, they have a one scene that they
show was my boss called me and he said, yeah,
they're gonna sing a song. They're gonna bring in people

(11:14):
that are known in Austin media people and then they're
gonna sing a song like we are of the World,
dedicated to the girls and uh. So he called me
in and uh and Stan said. Stan said, I just
don't see sending the funny guy down to this murder
song thing, you know. And I wrong, No, I said,

(11:35):
I think that's I think you're exactly right. And then
I know I'm going along here. But this anyway, So
we had a girl that she and I did all
the promotions together, a girl named Mira, and uh she
was Indian, she was dark. She's probably one of the
top five most beautiful women I've ever seen in my
life and a sweetheart on top of everything else. But Mirra, Uh,

(11:56):
I said, well, we need to send Mirror then, you know,
because she's promotions. I was, you know, anything he did,
I went out and did it, you know, with the
Z one O two shirt. So when you see the
if you watch it and they are singing, look for
the black Z one O two T shirt with the
Z one of two green logo. It shows she's there
singing in that group, and she just truly was beautiful.
We had so much fun. I don't I haven't kept

(12:18):
up with her all these years, but those years ago
us thirty some years ago was thirty years because this
is anniversary.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, I'm glad you told me before I started watching it.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Because now, yeah, all the TV and anchors, Judy Madge
and always been. I'm still great friends with the except
for Dick l Us. Dick no longer with us. Love Dick.
He was a great guy. Uh. But a lot of
those anchors are friends, you know, and a lot of
the uh there's Acevedo's on there, the Chief uh the
other before Chief Knee, a good friend of mine. There's

(12:47):
a lot of people. But it's a it's a fascinating
four series. It's truly uh, it's truly interesting to watch.
And it's a terrible thing. Uh, just just a horrible thing.
I'll never forget it. And we did stories on it.
Ever seemed like every day, and I.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Would imagine, yeah, I mean I can imagine being on
on air during that uh you know, it was a
month six months years.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
And there was a little there was a girl that
worked for the state and she got kidnapped from the
car wash on Sixth Street over there. We was sixth
Street right at this about the same time that happened,
and all of a sudden, Austin wasn't safe anymore. He
used to be a town and you could leave a
car unlocked, door unlocked, and then it became this city.
And that's terrible, all right, thank you, Alver. And I
hate to end on a on a low note like that,

(13:33):
but that's It's an interesting series. You need to watch it.
