In this wildly entertaining episode of The Bama Brown Experience, Bama and Puma dive headfirst into a whirlwind of bizarre headlines, hilarious banter, and unexpected truths. From a 22-year-old in the Czech Republic running a fake dental practice (and making over $185,000!) to a haunted winery in Johnson City drawing ghost-hunting wine lovers, this episode is packed with stories that are as unbelievable as they are unforgettable.

Key Highlights:
  • Bonehead of the Week: A fake dentist, a self-hostage situation gone wrong, and a bank robber recognized by name—because he was a regular customer.

  • America’s Most Stolen Cars: From Kia Optimas to Hyundai Elantras, find out why thieves are loving these models—and how one plumber’s truck ended up in an ISIS video.
  • Ghosts & Grape Vines: A new winery in Central Texas claims to have a resident ghost named Stephanie. Bama shares his own eerie childhood encounter with a glowing cross near a Confederate graveyard.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hi, everybody Bama Brown or the Bamma Brown experience.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
All you're experiencing Bama Brown.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Lucky you now thousands of you are doing this. Believe me,
there's several people at I Heeart that are trying to
figure out, for the love.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Of them, why the people are listening to this.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Nobody knows Puma, you know, and Booma was not his
real name, by the way.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
He wanted that removed. He wanted his real name taking
off this show.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
I well, my real name is actually Samuel magic Beans,
so I.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yes, your guy named magic Beans. Imagine hat he was high.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Yeah, that's still the magic Beans are still tripping me up.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Uh No.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
I I'm always happy to throw my name out there
to any attachment, especially if the folks that I heard
are still asking questions trying to figure out how the
hell this thing is working.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
Let me make sure I get some credit with my
real name.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
You get, you get all the credit, you get, Puma
gets all and all the blame, which you know is
correct too. End in hand as they say, uh the uh. Anyway,
we're the iHeart Podcast network. You've got the sports cave.
People need to listen to that if they love the
sports and if they don't, it's just a funny show.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Well, yeah, you know it's it's funny. We've we've now
rolled out Monday, Wednesday Fridays, or I should say Monday
Wednesday and a weekend episode. So if you you want
the sports, we're doing that Monday and Wednesdays, and then
over the weekend we're doing more of a pop culture.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
We call it who Won the Internet?

Speaker 3 (01:33):
So we look back on the last week and try
to decide what was the biggest story that crossed our timeline.
But if you need the audio anywhere you get your podcast,
just search for the Sports Cave with Biggest Puma.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
It's the most popular sports show in all of Central Texas.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
You want to do a bonehead and say I've moved
the Boneheads.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
I'm not on the air anymore on Cave and I
do the boneheads here and Puma does some of them
as well. The best one for me right now is
is the Czech Republic. Twenty two year old guy. He
watched some videos. I am not made. None of these
are made up. These are all off of police report.
He watched some videos on how to do dental work.

(02:12):
He has since made one hundred and eighty five thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
I don't know check money, but it's probably pigs and
goats and shit like that.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
But anyway, one hundred and eighty five grand worth. Before
he was caught, he was operating as a dentist, a
fake dentist, to the tune of one hundred and eighty
five grand that he's made.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
I don't know how many years that was. He's been
doing it a while. His only training, he's twenty two
to begin with. He is only training his videos.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yeah, that sounds like a low budget horror film. A
twenty two year old in the Czech Republic doing dental work. Yeah,
it feels like that's gonna end. That's gonna end, good boy.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
The good news is is he probably won't be arrested
or won't be convicted, because every witness is going to.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Made Pume laugh without one.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Uh, Fort Myers, Florida, Let's just keep going. A guy
named Joe Driggers. Okay, Joe.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
The reason they know his name, you know, he's been caught. Okay,
always with these they're caught. Joe Driggers.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
He robbed the trust bank there in Fort Myers, Florida,
along with his ex girlfriend. For some reason, he conned
her into driving Kelsey Holtz. Uh, she's driving getaway car anyway.
The problem here is when he walked in and handed
a note to the girl, she said, hey, Joe, how's
it going.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Because he's a regular customer. He robbed a bank where
he's a regular customer. Uh, he was caught within an hour.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Now here's what.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
He took himself hostage and was cutting his own throat
with a box cutter. But now the problem with the
box cutter that the barlade was broke off, so he
just really scratched himself and have a real full on
box cutter. And so and here's the other thing. When
you take yourself hostage, the commitments not as much as

(04:10):
if you take a hostage, you know what I mean
from the police there, you know there, if you take
a hostage, now they are on board with swat and
all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Take yourself hostage. They're drinking coffee, they're talking. It's like
a break for them, you know.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
They yell out every half an hour. So hey, you
still okay in there? All right? Yeah, just let us know.
If you change your mind, we'll be here.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
I had I had a friend of mine. He was
a sniper with the Denver Police. He was a he
was an actual Yeah, he was a former, you know,
a trained military sniper, and the Denver Police had hired
him for the swatt.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
But he was a sniper as with his job.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
And he shot a pistol out of a guy's hand
who was going to commit suicide in the middle of
the street.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
He's sitting in a.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Chair and had the gun and he didn't have into
his head, but he kind of had a hanging down
and he shot the gun out of his hand and
he said, he said, the look on the guy's.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Face, Yeah, it's like I didn't know y'all could do that.
He's like, oh damn, I've seen that in the movies.
But I didn't really think you would.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Actually, I didn't think they could do that. Well, they can't.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
I don't think anybody can do it, like they don't
like Cowboy. But I think if they've got time to
to lock you in, Uh.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
He could, he could do that.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
He could do that very well. I asked him, I said,
how many kills you got? Don't ask anybody that's a
sniper that that. He did not appreciate my asking.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
That yeah, they don't. They don't usually take too kindly.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
I mean, I don't know amongst each other. They probably
do with like Savillians, they don't want to do.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Here's the top five. Okay, puman, this is This is
where you're gonna yell bullshit just about as loud as
you can. The top five physical traits that women look
for in men, according to this huge.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Survey, all right, okay?

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Or that in mind whether these surveys are done by
universities and get money for having a survey, yeah, I
want to always point that out.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
So I don't know who they're talking to, but.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Supposedly college women and women between twenty and thirty. All right,
these are the five things, okay, that they look for
in physical traits in a guy that they find attractive.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Ready. Number five, his sin, his sin if he smells good.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Now, I don't know if he's a neutral sense because
if he smells bad, Okay, that's gonna be I think.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
It's I think as long as you're neutral, you're probably like,
how many guys are walking around smelling good?

Speaker 2 (06:37):
I mean no, and that guys don't smell each other.
So we have no idea. I mean, we know when
one of.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Them smells like ass, because the man you smell like
ass one.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
Or the other.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
It's either, you know, when someone walks by and smells
like ass, or when someone walks buy and you just.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Have like a cloud of cologne. That's just all aout
over over. Cologning is worse than smelling bad. Number four,
and I'm calling bullshit on the number four is laughter.
If you're a happy, go lucky laughter guy, that's so untrue.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
I mean, maybe it helps if you still are tall
and in shape, and.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Well I think that's a given.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
You know, if you got a six pack on any
of these, why don't they just tell the truth?

Speaker 2 (07:25):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
I don't see Brad Pitt laughing that much. Number three
your voice tone. Now, you have a great voice because
you are a professional jock, and I sound like a
guy that it works at the car wash.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
You know, basically I hate her.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
You know, I sound more like a NASCAR crew chief
than anybody out there.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
You know, that's probably that's probably the best way I've
ever heard it described.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Yeah, that's me, you know, as I We're gonna add
a half around and see how this thing plays out.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
I'd be that.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
I'd be a crew chief in a hard if I
knew anything about stock cars.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Apparently I don't know that much about number two.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
I don't even understand this facial expressiveness you do you
get that?

Speaker 2 (08:11):
You know what that is? Is that where you're surprised
or you're making faces or.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
I think it.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
My first thought would be the you know, because like
obviously a woman is going to want to talk your.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Ear off in a relationship. So if you're facially.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Responding interesting, you've got to be able to.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Laughter.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
We were, Oh, tell me more.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
If you're just if you you are sitting there looking
annoyed the whole time she's talking. I think I think
that is probably the facial expressions that are unattractive compared
to them.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Do you know this, I'll enter this guy will listen
to anything. If he thinks at any point your bra
is gonna come off, if there's any any potential for that,
he'll listen. Oh yeah, and his face will be oh, he'll.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Be lit up.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
WHOA, that's a great Well, that's good info. Yeah, it
does tell me more about.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
It doesn't matter as long as as long as there's
a potential.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
All right, The number one. You're ready for the number one,
and you have this, you got this going on. Good posture,
your posture. I think this goes back to you have
better posture if you've got a six pack and you know, muscles.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
And no, yeah, it certainly helps.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Look I that's an underrated one because even when I
when you know, when you walk into a you know,
a restaurant or a bar somewhere and you see a
guy that's all slouched over at the bar, he just
looks like he looks like the drunk Simpsons character. He
looks like, oh exactly, he's all just slouched and you.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Know, yeah, he's married, he's all slouched over. Life is
just beating him.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
Down like that one.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
That one I actually buy into because if you know,
you hold yourself high with good posture, and you stand
out because most people.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Are Okay, as we were talking about yesterday, I just sake,
I said, from one thing to the next. All right, here,
eight hundred and fifty thousand cars were stolen in America
in twenty twenty four, eight hundred and fifty thousand, the
most it's ever been stolen.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Here's the top five. You're ready for the top five.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
This is always for the thieves.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Thieves love the Kia Optima is number five. Those kids
have improved how they look, and those kids are a
lot better.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
My my brother and his family have become a Kia family.
And at first I was I gave him shit for
it NonStop. And now when he pulls up in one,
I'm like, well, damn it, I guess I have to admit.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
It doesn't look bad.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
It's not a bad ye good looking car.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
I drove a Soul. I rented a Soul one time
and it was great. I mean, it's a good little car.
I'm sure what he cost. Number four Honda Cord. Honda
Cord is still very popular with thieves. Uh, don't know
much about it. I've been around forever, of course.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Number three the Chevy Silverado pickup truck coming in number three,
living up the Uh.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Most of these end up in Mexico. This is interesting.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Most of them end up in Mexico and then end
up with Isis. That's the most of the stolen trucks
in Texas ended up being shipped over to the Middle
East for Isis.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
That was that Austin plumber, the Austin Plumbing Company.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Remember that his ended up fuck ended.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Up in an Isis recruitment video, and they it's like,
there's my truck, cowel in the back of it had
the plumber's logo on the side.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
I talked about that.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Hey, of course, all all advertising, all marketing is good marketing,
all of the right.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
There's a dealer over there, high BENI boy, come on,
I shouldn't do that's wrong. Uh. And then the Hyundais
were one and two because the Hundais you can actually
download how to steal them on their website.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
You've seen that deal where it just takes up. You
can get an.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
App and you can crank in a Hyundai. The Sonata
was number two and the Elantra number one, but Hyundai
was actually, Uh, they're getting grief from some congressman because
and this is true, because they were so easy to steal.
He wasn't doing anything woke wise about the people stealing them.
He was just talking about you should be in trouble

(12:37):
for making your.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Cars so easy to steal.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
And this guy from uh, this guy from Hyundai was going,
I'm not believing this shit. This is why don't you
do something about Carthy's instead of giving them ten chances
When these guys come in there and they look at
their record and there's twenty thefs on there, and twenty
times he's been in jail and then but of course
he's just turned his life around.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
Sure, they're always they're always one day away from turning
your life around. Look, if your car number one and
number two on the list, you absolutely deserve some of.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
The blame there. Like I understand, I mean, you got
to get some of that first.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
But if you're putting not just one car at the
top of the list, but the two at the very
top of the most stolen, you probably should internally ask
some questions about, uh, why why are we making this
so easy for.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, I mean, download the thing on the internet and
they could own your car. Now, that's why I drove
the Chevy Spark because no one was going to steal
a piss yellow Chevy Spark. Hey, I left the key
in it and nobody would. Nobody touched the key, never
came out of the ignition. For seven and a half years,

(13:50):
it just sat there anywhere I went.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
You know, the car anti theft device was literally just
being itself self.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
It's like, oh God, I remember I hit a deer
with it. You know, and the guy and they you know,
they put the the paint color on the on the tag.
He said, it said green with a question mark.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
The god they got the body shop green yellow.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
But ooh, it said, ooh, it was.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
More like dehydrated piss yellow.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Yeah, that was it it was. But he matched it
perfectly when I hit that deer. I mean, they did
a great job. I can't remember. They're not even in
business anymore, or somebody else bought them and I don't
know who it is. Uhur final story, Uh, this is
kind of neat Johnson City, Little Johnson City, the other
side of Dripping Springs over there on two eighty one,
if you're north, if you go north out of San Antonio,

(14:46):
you'll see the Johnson City sign. Neat well President, that's
the President Johnson, that's his hometown. I don't think Johnson
City has anything to do with his name, though, I don't.
Somebody told me they weren't connected. I find that hard
to believe because it's still just an intersection. But anyway,
Johnson City opened a new Uh, this is really cool.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
They opened the new winery.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Now that's not unusual news out here in Central Texas.
There's a slew of wineries that they have a ghost,
a real live ghost, and it's in one of the
wells that they have. They have witnesses that have heard it,
and they say they've named the ghost Stephanie. And I
don't know if it's just good marketing on their part,
but people are showing up to see Stephanie the Ghost

(15:28):
at the Believer.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
In Spiritual Beings like Stephanie the Ghost.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, I am, I think there is.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Uh, there's been too many reports of the woman down
at the Driscoll you know, the one that Driscoll has
a room that that two women killed themselves in the
same room. I don't know how many years apart. Look
at you can look it up, but one of them,
both of them killed themselves and the one had gone
shopping and her husband or fiance broke up with or whatever.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
It's killed herself.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
But a woman's been seen in the hallways several times
with packages going into that room. And uh so that's
you know, that's who knows. But I mean I believe that.
And then when I was a kid, I actually saw something.
And I'll let me explain this because this is crazy.
We were in that last morn in Atlanta, and uh

(16:21):
we when we were kids, we all went to this
gym in the neighborhood. It was on a in you know,
Atlanta was overrun by Union troops burned it to the ground.
Old City Sherman's guys, he burned it down. But there
was a our the gym was was built next to
a Confederate graveyard. I mean, it was official. Everybody knew
that's what it was. And they said at night a

(16:43):
lighted cross would show up up on the hill above
the graveyard. Big cross, big lighted cross. There was no
cross up there. There was no you know, no light
or anything, and just the reflection or something. And sure enough,
when we had us spend the night at the gym,
and they lined everybody up and they opened the door
and we could walk by and you could see and

(17:05):
I saw the lighted cross, man, I mean, it was
plain as it could be. And I went up there,
like I don't know a month later, looking around, and
there was no nothing. I couldn't figure out, you know,
there had to be some kind of something, but anyway,
it wasn't there.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
So I think I think you were just seeing still
the monthly clan meeting that they were at the top
of the mountain celebrate remembering their fallen brothers down below.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah, boys in the hood meant something completely different apart
where I'm from, So you know, it's a total total
diver deal. That's a that's a good one to get
out on right a clan meeting and Puma said it
about it. It's Sabama Brown experience on the iHeart Podcast Networks.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Thanks for listening.
