In this laugh-out-loud episode of The Bama Brown Experience, Bama and The Big Puma dive into everything from heartfelt advice to hilariously unexpected tech disasters. Kicking things off with a touching reminder to reconnect with dad—any day of the year—the duo shares five creative and quirky ways to bond with your old man, from axe throwing (only if you're getting along!) to building model planes and catching a movie.

But things take a wild turn when the conversation shifts to a jaw-dropping “Bonehead” story: a man trying to sell a fully automatic machine gun on Facebook Marketplace. Spoiler alert—it didn’t end well. The guys unpack the legal chaos and sprinkle in their signature humor, questioning the logic of selling illegal weapons on a platform full of suburban moms and FBI watchers.

Then, Bama recounts a legendary tale of accidental internet infamy involving a hacked Facebook account, a romantic movie quote, and a surprise $1,000 bonus. From the infamous “Drag Daddy” search that nearly destroyed his computer to the mysterious hacker who made him a social media star, this story is one for the books.

Don’t miss this rollercoaster of an episode—equal parts heartwarming, hilarious, and head-shaking. Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs a laugh (or a reminder to call their dad).

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Well, hey, and howdy tell you Bama Brown with you
on the Bama Brown Experience on the iHeart Podcast Network
along with my partner in crime here, the Big Puma,
the Big Cat with the Sports Cave. Number one sports
show Anywhere and podcast anywhere. You're like killing it.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Dude, I guess we can always find some metric to
say that that's true. Number one sports cast done by
a long haired redneck kippie in South Texas. I think
even then I might not be number one, but I
bet it's close.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
The sports guys I know are all looking up to you.
I know that for a fact. So if you missed
your if you missed your father's Day, here's five things
a dad you can go back and do with dad,
even though it didn't Father's Day, just go see him.
First of all, he wants to see it. No matter
how much you've been fighting, no matter what's going on,
your dad wants to see you and go see him.

(00:52):
And that's how I'm talking men and women. So number five,
go golf with dad. Dad loves the golf to even
putt putt. Take him to a putt putt, have some fun,
some laughs.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Uh. You could take a woodworking class with him. A
friend of mine did a woodworking class with his dad
and loved it, said it was awesome. They had a
great time. They built a cabinet together and it.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Was one of the most dad activities I've ever heard of,
Like I've never I never thought about that. Yeah, three, boy, scout,
do you know woodworking? Wood carving stuff right?

Speaker 1 (01:24):
And it don't have to be a major project. They
got an acc has a great class. The same with
the welding class if you I don't know about taking
welding with dad, but uh, but number three was what
I do. Build a model. Get a model and you know,
an aircraft carrier or a plane or something easy, you know,
and you and Dad sit down and build it and
laugh and have a good time. Number two axe throwing,

(01:45):
Now they got an asterisk by that. As long as
you and Dad are getting along, axe throwing is a
lot of fun, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
I feel like you could say the same thing about golf.
Give dad love to beat you with uh.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Like we were talking about you, I say, disc golf,
Go do some this golf. He can't hit you with
the club, you know, and he probably knows how to
throw a frisbee. If he's a dad now. And then
number one, the classic go to a movie. That's what
my my daughter and my wife took me to see,
The Mission Impossible. So go go check that out anyway,
don't wait till just Father's Day to do this, do
this anytime. So I think that so.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Like, that's always it's always a good reminder. I mean,
as someone who is, uh, you know, outspoken against Hallmark holidays,
your Fatherday, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, Like, just do all
all of those things you do on those days that corporations.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Have making money on it.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yeah, I'm making money.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
I'll just do all of those things randomly on different days,
and look how much better your life will be because
the people around you will actually feel like.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
You care about them. I think it's a I think
it's holiday.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah exactly, buddy, thank you. How about her bonehead? You
want a bonehead? I've got one for every day this week,
and they're they're outstanding. Here's Jacob Dixon and Jacob Puma.
He lives in Woodlow, Washington. Well, he'll be in the
federal pen from now, but he was there when he
put an ad on Marketplace for fully automatic machine gun

(03:14):
with suppressor. He put it on marketplace.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
Yeah, that'll probably pretty quick.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
It got answered. That ad got answered by a lot
of fable. The af came to buy it. They showed up,
they wanted to buy it. Now Jacob will get Are
you ready for this? Thirty years, no parole, no probation,
thirty years in the federal pen because it's under RICO.

(03:41):
If you're selling a machine gun, it falls under RICO
and that's thirty years no, absolutely, no parole, absolutely no probation.
The rest of Jacob's lives is going to be spent
behind bars.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
I mean that seems a bit harsh.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Isn't it?

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Telling you though, especially when it's not like the weapon
was commissioned in any other crime.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
I mean, it's just the crime.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Of selling trying to sell an illegal machine gun. You
have to have if you have a license. The license
to own one of these has to be by federal law,
has to be signed by the local sheriff in your
county in order for you to legally own. Now, the suppressor.
You can have a suppressor, you know, it's there's a

(04:30):
law where you can have a suppressor. Now, however, you
can't have it on a machine gun. You should have
a machine gun anyway, and then you surely shouldn't sell
it in marketplace. The problem with it being that's mandatory.
They don't. They can't. It's a federal law, so they
can't change it or give you something. You know, they
could charge under state something like that. But it's safe

(04:50):
to say that Jacob, Jacob screwed up there.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
And how about all the places to you know, Facebook
just full of Karen's and suburban over reacting to every
fake headline and news story and and viram from three
years ago that just now hit Facebook. Like, that's the
worst place to possibly try to sell an illegal firearm

(05:14):
because all of those suburban moms are just gonna immediately Hello,
FBI thought for you to come check it out.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Well, you know they constantly are monitoring that stuff anyway.
But anyway, feel bad for Jacob, but uh then you
want to go, well, why did you have a machine
gun to begin with? That's always the question that uh this,
I thought this was pretty interesting. In Millersburg, Pennsylvania, they've
got a project going on because they've got a lot
of potholes and they can't identify them all, so they

(05:45):
had a a They came out with an electronic notification.
Here's the thing. You can go online and it's called
the Pothole Project and the name of it is fill
my Hole.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
Okay, they know what they're doing.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Well, I see, here's the thing. They wanted the word
to get out, you know, and so to just go, Hey,
pothole project. Nobody's gonna look that up.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
It's not moving any needles.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
No, but fill my Hole. You're gonna be overrun.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
You're gonna have a lot of people that stumble onto
your website they're like, wait, hold on, this is not
this is not what I thought.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
When I was building the race cars. The biggest, best
known drag racer in the world is Big Daddy Don Garlts.
That's his nickname, Big Daddy. So I started building these cars.
I thought, you know what would be cool. Just rip
that off a little bit, but call it drag Daddy.
You know, drag Daddy. And I said, okay, drag Daddy.
I looked that up and see if anybody already has that.

(06:46):
It took me a week to get my computer cleaned up.
I typed in drag Daddy, and I gotta tell you.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
Buddy, drag Daddy, some of.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
The pictures that I saw, and at some point I
kept looking at him, laughing at you. But I mean
you talk about pop ups, I mean pop up city, buddy.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
You're still infected. Your computer is still infected him from
that somewhere somewhere. It's proof.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
I just I love the fact that if you had
been if that had been Jacob Dixon, and the ATF
and arrested him, took all his computers and everything, and
then they're searching like, okay, yep, nope. He was trying
to sell an automatic machine gun and he was visiting
something called drag Daddy's Drag Daddy.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Let me tell you who else got a hold of
me is at the time it was Clear Channel and
the Clear Channel electronic monitor guy. What's going on?

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Man?

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Are you aware he's the one that had to clean
it all up? And you know one time I told
you that story about how I got hacked that time,
Did I ever tell you that?

Speaker 4 (07:55):
I don't think.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
So we went over to we were at Rudy's barbecue
for coats for kids, all right, So we take the
morning to show me and Heather and Rob. We go
over to Rudi's and we set up I'll finish the
show with this story, because this is really good. So
I'm sitting there and I ope my computer at the
Rudies and of course hacked within ten seconds, you know,
a guy they figured about thirty seconds, some guys hacked me,

(08:18):
you know. And I'm sitting there typing in whatever I
was typing in, you know, and all of a sudden,
my Facebook page pops up and there's this a saying
of romance and love, and I'm looking at it, going,
what the hell am I looking at it? I don't know
what I'm looking at, but it looks like I had
typed it. Okay. And I'm sitting there and so Heather's

(08:41):
sitting right next to me this, you know, like roight
beside me, and I go, what the hell is this?
And she goes, and she's looking at it. She goes,
that's from a movie. I came up the movie. It
was some romantic movie. And she goes, but it was
like I never counted on women. I never you know,
it was like a derogatory towards women.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
And I go in life in general and I go,
what is this? And she goes, that's from a movie.
That's a saying from a movie, I can't remember what
was anyway, she said, did you see that movie? I said, no,
I didn't even type this. I don't even know what happened.
Here She go, you got hacked, and I said, oh crap. Well,
my normal posting would be some car crap and I'd

(09:21):
get two comments, maybe three comments, and then maybe one
hundred thumbs up to a hundred you know, views, I
guess is what the word is I'm looking for, all right. So,
but in those days we got credit for that, and
Bobby Bones won it every time because he had a
whole staff of So all of a sudden, I get
over a thousand views and like almost five hundred comments. Damn,

(09:46):
I can't believe you feel this way, Mama. This is solful.
I ha't hear this. Sure up, buddy, is all this?
And so I'm sitting here look at this. But all
of a sudden I qualify that week for the bonus.
I believe the bonus. So they have the they have
the and so the first day, man, I mean, I'm
out over the par I'm out of fence with it.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
You know.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
The second day he does it again, because we're two
days at the coach. The next day I got more
of got like two thousand, you know, and he's put
another comment thing in there, another movie thing, and I'm
not doing nothing, and now all of a sudden it
within two days, I got three thousand views. Back then
that was like gigantic, and I was number one in

(10:28):
the chain, and so they had the head guy comes,
we would have it just happens on that Thursday, they
have a they have a big meeting. We're all in
there for social media, and I was the leader, and
Bobby stood up and he said, this is not fair.
I mean, he's losing his shit. This is not mair bebbit,
not even responsible for this, because by then everybody had

(10:50):
knew about it. And he goes, that's not even him.
He's not get credit. He was complained. I said, well,
then all the years are fake. You know, we're fighting
back and forth, fake fighting really because everybody knew. And
so then the third day, I'm coming in waiting for
my thing to take off, and he ain't there, and
I go oh, and I go, hey, hacker guy, where

(11:10):
are you? I actually that I need you, buddy, Yeah,
get in here, because I'm gonna have right now. I'm
at a thousand dollars bonus, and I'm like and I
and so I go, you can say anything you want,
you know, like I'm telling him, like I have any
saying it anyway. And then the next day nothing again,

(11:31):
and I thought, okay, and I go, hey, mister hacker,
you don't have the guts to hack me again. The
tech guy said, he can take you out anytime he's ready.
You know, I'm just threatening the guy.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
You know, it's light fire under him.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
You get him to get him to come back, you
know nothing. So anyway, the tech guy comes in on
on that Thursday after I wrote that, that's first he's
heard about it. He walks in, Yeah, we got to
change your password, clean your deal up. And I go, well, no, okay,
go ahead, and you know, and he's like, yeah, man,
we can't have you. Yeah, you can't leave it.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
I have this guy that just has back end access.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Until Bobby, until Bobby moved to Nashville. That whole year.
Only I got that one thousand dollars bonus for them week.
I mean, it timed out beautifully for me. But oh
he threw a fit because that was out of his pocket.
And I was like, that's right, I'm the I am
the expert, you know.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
So they have my wife works in you know, tech
cybersecurity stuff, and they have ethical hackers where it's hackers
that they will pay. They will uh Basically, they build
something and then they find a hacker that they paid
to try to hack into it as a way to
you know, test the product.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Right.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
They call it ethical hacking. Governments do it a lot
as well. I need to buy I need to spend
some money on an ethical.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
Hacker to hack me to go a little viral, just.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
To just to get it going.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Many good pr strategy. The more I think about.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
It, I was I was proud of that. I figured
he would answer that you ain't got the guts, and
this tech guy says it. I'd never even talked to
the tech guy, said. The tech guy says he can.
He can out hack you any day of the week.
Because that's the way it isn't those movies, you know,
they always take it personal, you know. Of course that's
all like he never answered or anything. So that tells
you a lot about my experience with the electronics here

(13:25):
