Speaker 1 (00:03):
Well, hey, you're listening to the Mamma Brown Experience on
the iHeart Podcast Network. I had a guy coming to
be a home depot yesterday loving this. He said, this
is really good. I like I like hearing you and Puma.
I love Puma's. Puma is a sports expert. He is
the Big Cave show. Tell him how they get that show?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yes, sir, anywhere you get your podcast, just search for
the Sports Cave with Biggest Puma.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
It's not the Big Cave.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
It's it's it's the.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Big Cave with with on the on the Sports Cave
so confusing. I love the I love the fact that
we had He came up to you in a home depot.
I would imagine the majority of the people that might listen,
uh would run into you at a home depot or
a hardware store, an auto shop. I'm not sure we're
(00:55):
getting many from the you know, the the nail salons
like we have here next to the JFK.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
A lot of nice a lot of nice people out there,
and I appreciate them. But Booma's right exactly, we're not
getting a lot of lawyers and bankers that we're getting
some folks that are just like us a work, work
for a living, and I'm good with that because they
they get the stories. They understand his stories. But I
go to homes. You know, when I was building these
rent houses, I was at home depot every day. I
(01:23):
loved the week that I didn't have to go to
home depot and buy stuff, you know, And so it's uh,
but I've been there so much as the guy. I've
had two times at home depot people come up with
a customer, Well, uh, Bama, he's doing this. Explain to
him how he should do that, you know, Like I'm
a pro, and I do. I don't. They invented calk
for guys like me. I get it by the case
(01:44):
and yeah, your whole deal is it's close with cack
it caught it. Yeah, so you're a you're a free
consultant for them. Anytime you watch it and they go,
well you cut the tip. I go, no, you just
break the end off and just put the call, you know,
just let it go and ain't gonna get a two
by four and just wedget in there and you're fine.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, it's I've got a buddy who works as a
contractor back up in our hometown and on days when
he doesn't have to go to home depot, he'll still
go to home depot just to get it in. He
just goes and walh just around the store.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I've never been so sick of a store in my life.
I'm just done.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Man.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
So I saw something. Yeah, I love doing these, like
old old school things from history, or like got a
list tomorrow the best neighborhoods. We'll talk about that tomorrow.
But I thought this was pretty cool. This was what
you had to do. You had to do to become
a flight attendant in the nineteen fifties.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Oh, I immediately have some guesses.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, there, it is pretty cool. To be a flight
attendant with Delta. You had to be twenty two to
twenty eight years of age.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I had twenty eight was the I'm surprised that cutoff
wasn't twenty five twenty six.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I had one not too long ago, Southwest is she
the lady was older than me, the flight attendant was.
I was like, good lord, baby, you know are you
travel when you get that high up to your joints?
Never mind? But all right, So I had to.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
See important questions.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, twenty two to twenty eight had to
be single had to weigh and remember this is the
list that I will puma. I didn't come out. I'm
reading what they said between one hundred and one hundred
and twenty pounds.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Well that's just you.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Know, so the flight, so the plane doesn't have any
issues traveling through the air. I'm sure it has nothing
to do with sexual attraction whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Backe.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, back.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
In those days flight attendant, most of my fantasy started. Anyway.
You had to be five to two to five five tall,
so you know, little little girl.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Again, I'm sure this had everything to do with safety
on the plane and nothing to do with a track.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Of course, of course you had to have good teeth.
Sorry Brits, certainly British, I don't.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I don't think they're getting a call back for the job. Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
You had to have, I love this, an even temper,
and you had to be willing to please.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah. I was about to say that even temper was Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You had to be able to handle random guys slapping
your ass as you walked down the Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
You basically you basically had to have an ass.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
So uh so hard you could bounce.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
A quarter off of it.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Upset when that actually did happen Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah, you get you had to giggle when it happened.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Also, I don't even I'm not sure kind of think
I know what this one is. As the last one.
You had to have a good carriage. I think that's
what you just were talking about. But it was the
good carriage. I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I feel like I could have.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I feel like I could have guessed three quarters of
these before you told me, because all you had to
say was men in the workforce in the nineteen fifties, Okay, yeah, no,
pretty much any job.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I think those were basically the requirements, don't you know.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
And we can't figure out why women hate us now,
you know, it's just, you know, old white guys are
responsible for everything bad that's ever happened in the world.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Hold on, let's not let's not limit this to old
white guys.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I mean, there's there's a lot of guys of non
white descent in other parts of the world that are
pretty bad to women as well.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Like, well, that's true. Now, I'll give you that worse.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
If not worse than some some instances.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
But they weren't there in the fifties working for Deltalk.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
They weren't.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
They weren't the leaders of corporate America. Fifty sixty seventy
years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
My buddy wanted to get a T shirt made. It
just says old white guy sorry or my bad.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yeah, I was about to say no, that's if I've
learned anything over the last decade.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
It's never apologized, like.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Why no, I sorry for it?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I mean about it.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, I'd like to point out too, it was a
beach full of old white guys there on Maha Beach too,
so that you please add some of that.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Do it checks out?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah? I think it evens out. You're right. Oh, I
was gonna tell you I bought a new hot rod.
I got a h my I had that thirty two
Ford Coop, like the American graffiti car. Something was pink
and I just couldn't do pink. But I traded it
for a thirty six Ford Coup. I went to Coop.
It's running driving my project car for a guy aheaded
and I tried to buy this car three times and
(06:58):
he never would sell it. Loved this car and it
fit me perfect. And it's running driving versus my project
I had, And I've been driving it around dripping.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So is that resto mode or all originals?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It's a tree ride. Now this has got a three
point fifty, you know, late model drive train, nine inch
forward on the rear. But it's got the big white
walls and the steel wheels and and it sits low
and it's just it's really a neat car. Uh. This
was actually got upholstery, and it was shocked my wife
and daughter. They were like, oh my god, I can't
see through the door panels. This is amazing. So I've
(07:33):
been driving it around a little bit and dripping, and
it fits me and it's so comfortable, way more comfortable
than my thirty two was.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
So that's yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
That was a I think a good trade. I did
good on that. So you're around dripping or some of
the car shows. This is my last one. I sold
everything else. And I know I've said that a thousand times,
but seriously, this is my last car.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
So yeah, I was about to say give it, give
it a couple of months and we'll have another.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Then we'll have another instance of you burying the lead
and dropping.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Also, I bought a new car after we talk about
tiny flight attendance from the nineteen fifties.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Then you drop that bomb.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
If you're guessing, yeah, there is no plan for this show.
Can you hear the cat in the background, then I'll
tell you right there, that's Owen. Owen not happy about something,
but I can promise you it ain't from not having food.
He eats like a pig all the time in there.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
He's missing that, he's missing that thirty two project cars
he needed.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do, though, and my
wife is gone, I'm going to go in there and
use the cat box, just a freaker out. It's just
something I've been thinking about that I thought, you know
this show. Hey, you're listening to the Bama Brown Experience
from the iHeart Podcast Network. Got nobody to blame but yourself. Man,
(08:50):
you have to come and look for this show. Remember that.
So apologies for anything you heard that you didn't like,
Well not really. We don't give damn If you didn't
like it, go go somewhere else.
