Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hi everybody, Maam Brown. Will you on the Maam Brown
Experience on the iHeart podcast Network. You know, I'm no
longer on radio anywhere in Austin and Cavett because I've
retired and radio and I'm doing the podcast now. So
this is where you hear the Boneheads and all that
kind of stuff. Not doing those on the air anymore.
I still have a lot of ads running because I'm still,
(00:24):
as it turns out, a whore. I like that cash.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
But you and Christopher Walking.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Me and Christopher Walking, we're both at We're anything for money. Right.
Let's start out with Leonardo the Pinchy. This is a
cat in New Zealand. He has stolen over one hundred
and fifty items from neighbors and brought them home and
it's piling them up in his cat house. It reminds
me of Steve Martin. Member is Steve Martin's album you
(00:50):
Know Where. There's about fifty thousand of the cat toys
out there, so.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Classic do we need it? Sounds like the cat and
the parrot from the Other Day Need.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
You don't want them two together? Man a bank heist
or something. Leonardo, that's what they call him to pinche,
So I think that's pretty He's fourteen months old, so
he's just getting started in a career in crime. Let's
see the average wedding, wedding if you're going to do it.
To think about this, the cost is thirty five thousand dollars.
And I say average wedding, I know many that went
(01:23):
way more than that. That's well seen. Well, they've got
a new thing they've come out with called the micro wedding,
and it's like twenty five to fifty people. I remember
in Jamie Now I got married. We had a radio wedding.
We had to have every there was four radio companies
in Austin, and we had to have the managers or
sales manager, general managers shocks. I mean, we had three
(01:44):
hundred people their wedding, but it was all other radio stations.
Because you never knew where you might be working for
one of them. You didn't want to leave anybody out.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Exactly right, you want to leave those doors open.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
We I feel like, I guess the further I get
away from Steph and I's wedding, the more I realized
it's kind of how unique we did.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
We didn't have we didn't have a wedding planner.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
We didn't have any you know, everything was you know,
our friend that own record shop here in San Antonio
was the dj. Our friend that's the chef, did the food.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Are there smart? You did a micro wedding, you were
you're sitting it billion years.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yeah, and we did it where the service was literally
thirty people of our closest friends and family, and then
the rest was just a giant party. We rented out
an old pickle factory here downtown, Yeah, and just had
it basically just like a normal party. I think I
think we were pioneers. Now that I'm hearing the actual
(02:44):
term micro wedding.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
They say they average about about twelve thousand dollars, so
compared to thirty five, that's uh yeah, that's you get out.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
That's that's way more in line with what I remember,
uh running up the credit card for.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I remember when we married and the lady goes, so
you got almost it was like two hundred and seventy
something people and she goes, Now, normally we have only
about you know, there's about ten percent short. I said, no, ma'am,
this will be a radio wedding with free food. You
will have people that aren't invited here, I can promise you.
And I said, she goes, yeah. I said, you're not
even going to have to wash any of the plates.
(03:20):
They will eat every bit of food. And I said,
if you've got any valuable silverwere you might want to
put those on now, ye, plastic paper plates and plastic
forks and now, anyway, it was a wonderful wedding and
I'm glad we did it. I don't know about if
you check with Jamie now, probably, but I would have
certainly helped me. Raleigh, North Carolina had sixty three cars
(03:42):
broke into and the valuables were stolen out of these
cars in Raleigh, North Carolina. No, here's here's the thing.
Oh no, over one hundred guns we're taking out of
sixty three cars and trucks.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Good lord, each.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Car had more than one.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Yeah, they got at one point three a car basically
a gun and a half.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
And every call that crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I just thought that was nuts.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I didn't realize North Carolina got down like that.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, like yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I mean for Louisiana kind of number.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
It'd be country or could be an urban area, you know,
urban area. None of them are registered. The country or
they're all you know, shotguns and stuff. I don't know,
you know, a country area.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
They're all bought from gun shows that you might you're
going to confiscate an old elephant gun or something crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
You get a big old gun like a cannon. Uh.
This happened in Lake Catherine, British Columbia. A man was
attacked by cougarh uh, and he punched him in the
nose and the cougar ran off. So he's the biggest
badass that we were reporting on this with.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
It's unfortunate that he's a Canadian because to have to
declare a and a badass like that, yeah, my soul
a little bit. It just be even if he was
just from one of the Dakotas, I would feel better
about applauding that level of manhood.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Oh, he apologize to the cougar.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Cougar, Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
So are you you want some love? Here's some love?
Luke Waltrump. He Luke, he's dated Sarah. They live in London.
It's been dating now seven years. And over that seven years,
Luke has proposed to Sarah forty three times.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Oh Luke, what are you doing? Bubba?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
She said yes, Finally, on the forty third time, she said, yes,
I mean seven years, this is a guy he needs
to be selling sighting or he needs to be turning
that into where he can make some money.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yeah, that that persistence should be profitable in some other industry.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
A new deal used cars. He needs to be over
covert selling cars right now.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
That is the like, that is the definite textbook definition
of just beating a woman down until she says yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
She finally went after seven years. I guess ask her.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
On the first date. Was that when the first one started?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
And then I don't have any idea, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Once a month for every for seven straight years, until
she said yes.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
And I think maybe the proposals maybe he needed, you know.
Some of them were great. Some of them were just, hey,
why don't we get married? I mean I think he's
counting everything, you know, Okay, I don't know what. And
they he said, he just dropped to his knee and
did it.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
She went, yeah, okay, well, congratulations to the to the
newly weds to be. We'll see, let's let's take it's England,
so you could probably take bets on how long that
thing last.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah, yeah, they'll bet on anything.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Before we get out of here. Let's do some tourist stuff.
Some of you still going on vacations. The top five
tourist attractions in the world. Uh, Number five is that
I can't even pronounce it, angor watt in.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Canodia angor w Yeah, the old military temple.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah. Uh. Number four is a louver. In fact, I
met somebody that was really really real, a b in Are.
I told you that where that the lady was a
b in Air And I said, and I didn't know
what to say to her. My buddy said, she she
likes paintings, and so I said, I said, you you
have painting. I mean they're being errors. They donate to
Rice or like the biggest contributed to Rice. Nicest people
(07:29):
in the world. They're both eighty years old, nicest people ever.
But she's I said, I said, do you like paintings. Yeah,
I have a few paintings. I said, we have them
in the house there and she said yeah. She goes, well,
I've got some in the louver yead. Well, how do
you do that? She goes, well, you know we have
put them on jet and insur them for eight hundred
million and then fly them to the now. I almost
(07:52):
whom I almost swear to go. I almost said, you know,
I've always wondered, does that pronounce louver? Louver? I've never
I didn't know, but I didn't want to ruined the thing.
We were there.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Number three, her paintings travel better than I do, than
I ever had one.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Hundred million in paintings.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Dude, God, I can't.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I don't want to say her name. Her family had
some company that you had everybody like Woolworth or you know,
something like that, where her name was originally whatever that
company was, and the family sold it and she got
she got eight eight for nine b and at.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Least they're preserving some priceless art for the rest of
us to have a chance to look at.

I wouldn't have thought that.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Ave, But I mean it is pretty badass.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
The more I think about it, and where else are
you going to see I think the uniqueness of it, Like,

access to see what multi?

You met an astronaut, didn't you? I met one one time.
