Bama is joined by his longtime friend and radio partner Puma who brings his signature wit and sports expertise to the mic. As football season heats up and Spurs basketball looms, Puma shares what makes this time of year electric for sports fans—and why sunflower seeds still reign supreme in the dugout.
But it’s not all touchdowns and tip-offs. Bama dives into:

Speaker 4 (02:05):
But right well, we'll.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Cross your fingers that someday we'll have some commercial travel

Speaker 2 (02:14):
When they get a BUCkies in the dollar store and
you'll know, okay, it's it's happening.

Uh, yeah, you can get some of them nim Buggy Nuggets,
Bucky Nuggets. I love Bucky Nuggets. That guy man, he
he hit something there or not. And you know he
gave a million dollars a flood relief. Love you only,

mouth is, all right, speaking of uh Bucky nuggets. Uh.

Five foods that can give you healthy skin. Now, you've
got beautiful skin.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
And I mean that in a non gay way.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
You're a handsome fellow with a big long head of
hair and a mustage.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
All of olive Greeks skin for a white redneck.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
See if you're eating any of these five here, people
always ask me if I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
That's how I know my skin isn't good.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Are you all right?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Are you you okay?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Number letter yeah? Number five sunflower seeds. That's good for
your skin. Sunflower seeds. I knew guys that ate those
all the time. And he said, here, try something there
was no flavor was not I was like, okay, Well, I'm.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Just worried I might be five for five on this list.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Because are your sunflower You still.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Eat sunflower seeds like I'm sitting in a high school
dugout like I am. All that's the best. And granted
it leaves your teeth looking something awful, but trad off
is worth it.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
As long as you flow us in there. Number four
bell peppers, another one. Number three walnuts eat walnuts, trap.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I'm three for three.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Three for three.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Number two even got me eat tomatoes. I do tomatoes.
You do tomatoes.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Not so much?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Okay, tomato soup absolutely, but tomato on a hamburger not
so much?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
All right?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Uh? And Number one fatty fish.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Oh dad, gum it, dude, that's you. That's the protein
I eat more than anything else. I am a wanna
be pescatarian.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Fatty fish sounds like a pool haul hustler to me.
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Fatty fish.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Yeah, don't don't cross fatty fish.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
He'll put you concrete shoes. Yeah, pretty crazy, mobster, fatty.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Fish, fatty fish. I eat fish, but it's you know,
it's from you know, Long John's. I don't really eat
real fish. I don't think that's real fish.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
By the way, I'm on a first name basis with
the Central Market Seafood Department over here in U.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Let's see, I was looking at some bone Heads. There
was a Georgia daycare teacher. I can't even I thought, okay, heel,
he's thirty seven. Any rate. They were at the Discovery Zone,
and you know that's the name of their thing, Discovery Zone.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And he made two siblings fight each other. He had
so sick of them.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
He was so sick of these two kids fighting in
arguing all the time that he made him fight each other.
He says, no, you're just gonna do it. That reminds
me of my mom. Will tell the story anyway. He's
out on seventy five thousand dollars bond.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Good lord.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I don't think there was any betting on the kids
or anything. Just hard.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
You know, that would be even better if they.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
No.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
This just sounds like what I used to call as
a kid getting to hang out with my uncle.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
He would have me and my little brother fight with
so and.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
The neighbors coming.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I remember my mom, my brother and I fought like
cats and dog. We were horrible.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
He's three years older.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
He's still mean, by the way, he's seventy and me
my mom one time, I remember this vaguely, remember she
pushed the furniture against the wall like the sofa, and
she said, Okay, I'm going to raise one of you. See,
y'all just fight it out and one kill the other one.
I'm going to raise one of the Swear to god,
she was not joking around, man. And then my dad
(06:25):
would come home after a week on the road, and
he worked for Kroger, you know, and he was always
in doing stores. And he comes in Friday night and
she hits him with both barrels, you know, and he's
just like that belt comes off and we're just.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Just whipped like dogs. Ed uh. But as got older,
turns out she was just mean, you know. It wasn't
Tommy and me.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It was as she was as mean. And I remember
he was in a she walked into grocery store and
he was behind the checkout girl teaching her how to check.
And she was hot looking, apparently, and so mom threw
a fit about, you know, and he goes, well, I
got to teach the women out of check you know,
I gotta teach hi about that. And she goes, well,
I know she don't teach any alien ones.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Out of check, you know. I remember that being said.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And I was old enough then, so I was probably
ten maybe eleven, and I remember him sitting on the couch.
It's the funniest thing my dad ever said. And he
didn't mean it to be funny. But as I was
walking through, he was stuck there. Man, he was having
to put up with her. He looked up at me
and he goes, I see if I can do without laughing,
because I still laughed to this day. He's been dead
(07:32):
fifteen years, the love guy. But I miss him. But
he goes, I wish.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
I was ten miles from here. Only a husband could appreciate.
Only a husbands could appreciate that. I wish I was
ten miles from here.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I would have just given him a head start that
I'll keep walking the other way.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah, I have the football, and so I gotta go. Man,
he goes, don't leave me, don't leave me. I was like, no, man,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
On your own on this, on your own.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
You got married.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
I got no means of helping you out of this.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I gotta get out and save yourself.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Let's see, here's the best state to have a baby
in if you're going to have a toddler. Toddler high
Let's see, I'll do five five pound number five was
Now they used thirty one different matrix for this, so
a cost care, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
So there you know, that's how scientific this thing is.
And I'm sure with some baby shampoo plays that did
it or something.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Anyway, Uh, the best places in this in the US
to have kid, uh, Number five was main I hadn't
thought of Maine and out on how I couldn't find
Maine on a.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Globe probably, but anyway, Number four is.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
New Hampshire, No, right there next to it?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, Number three Minnesota, Uh, number two North Dakota, and
number one Massachusetts. I guess if you want to have
a baby, you can leave outside in the cold to
keep it cool, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Yeah, I think Massachusetts is always high on the list
of you know, public education rankings.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Yeah, that kind of makes sense for a kid I enjoy.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I was watching the uh what the Town you know
with Ben Affleck.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
He's really good in that.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
That's a good movie if you're looking for a great
movie to watch if you hadn't seen it. I love
the Town and I like that girl in it, but
you don't ever see her anymore. I don't know what
what happened to her. She was It used to be
in everything. I don't know her name, of course, but
she was in everything, and then all of a sudden,
you don't see her anymore. Yeah, that's enough. Let's get
(09:42):
out of here. That's enough show for.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
I'm worried if we look it up, there might be
like there might be a reason or something.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Oh, I see, don't look it up. Let's leave it alone,
all right, Thanks for listening.
