In this thought-provoking episode of The Bama Brown Experience, Bama introduces a brand-new term that could become part of America’s cultural vocabulary: “sled dogging.” He dives deep into what it feels like to grind day in and day out while others coast along—and why this metaphor resonates with millions of hardworking folks across the country.

Alongside his co-host Puma, Bama shares candid insights on political divides, freedom of speech, and the humor (and irony) of modern outrage culture. From hilarious anecdotes about hosting Reagan dinners and sparring with conservative elites to jaw-dropping stories of his past—including a certain federal misunderstanding—this episode is packed with raw honesty, sharp wit, and unforgettable moments.

If you’ve ever felt like the one pulling the sled while others enjoy the scenery, this episode will hit home—and make you laugh along the way. Don’t miss this mix of humor, grit, and truth.

thousand people, so we want to thank you for that.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Me and my buddy Puma. The Big Cat does the

to send some in and the Big Cat. Now you guys,
y'all are rocking it with your podcast The Sports Game.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah we are.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
I will say, though there's only one name in the
title of this I think I am. I am the
yuck Monkey riding along with the Texas Radio Hall of Famer.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
God, Maama Brown.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
It's been too long since I've reminded you that you
are the Hall of Famer. Here.

Speaker 3 (00:45):

Tuesdays Thursdays. But you can always get the podcast the
audio version anywhere you get your podcasts. Just search the
Sports Cave with the Biggest Puma.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Always like point out those guys actually played ball pooma in.
They were ballplayers, so college basketball players, So they know
what they're talking about. All right, But now I have
to point out that I'm pretty far right. I mean,
admittedly I'm pretty far right now. Puma is he's somewhere
between conservative and liberal.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
He's right right in the middle. He's intelligent.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
I'm as liberal as you can be. Being born and
raised by Texas conservatives.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
I've got that's the best description ever.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
So hear me out of that. I want to talk
about this for a little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
So around the country, if you hear anyone talking any
television news where they're interviewing people, whenever they interview someone
from the left, and I'm going to say hard left
all the way to kind of medium left, they have
terms that they use that whatever you're, whatever their complaint is,

(02:07):
there's a term for it. You're you're gas lighting me, Uh,
you're hey, you gas lighting me that you know what,
I'm like, I don't even know what that means. Uh,
you're you're home your foma, your islamophobe, you know, you're
all of these have a term for everything, dozens of terms,

(02:27):
and working white guys don't have nothing.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
We don't have anything. A term.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
So I've been working on this. Oh god, I'll spend
my time on this. Okay, so it remindeds. So the
guy gets up, and women too. I'll throw women in this,
of course. Uh So you get up, you go to work,
You work all day, same deal, in and out, same grind.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
You go home, you get a little TV.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
You maybe get a game or dow on weekends, but
you eat, go to bed, you give back up, and
you go right back at it. So every day, same
thing in and out. View never changes, and nothing changes.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
And it reminded me of.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
A sled dog. Okay, well I've come up with a term.
You know, I'm doing this day and the day out.
And there's forty one million of you out there that
don't want to work, don't want to do nothing. You
just want to free crap, you know, the money and
all this stuff. Meanwhile, I'm pulling the sled and you're riding.

(03:35):
I'm a sled dog.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Get up.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I've worked hard. There's you know, I get to eat,
I get to sleep, and then I get up same
thing next day. Meanwhile, you're riding comfortable. You know, you're
looking around, you're having a great time. You're looking at
all the scenery. My scenery never changes. I'm looking at
the asshole in front of me the same. Now put
me don't take that.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
I'm someone's got to drive the sled.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
That's all I'm saying. I mean, someone's gotta be.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
There, right riding to driving the sled is the easy
gig gets the dog pulling it. So from now on,
I'm gonna say, hey, you're sled dog of me. Man,
you're sled dog of me. That is a working white man,
white woman term from the conservative right. You're hey, you're
you're sled dogging me because I'm having to pull it. Meanwhile,

(04:30):
you getting a free ride, you know, and it uh you.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Got him made. Anyway, I've just been working on this.
I don't know if.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
It's something so I think this would appeal.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
I would say this, whether you're right or wrong is
a different conversation. This will definitely appeal to a large
amounts of people.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Now, remember I don't mean the forty one meterion. There's
certainly a huge amount of those folks that that that
need help. And now you know me, man, I've helped
a lot of folks. It's not that I don't care
and all that kind of stuff. I just wanted a
general term that everybody could use. You know that I
get credit for. I want to be the one who
came up with sled dogging, not dog sledding. That makes

(05:12):
it sound easier. Sled dogging dogging me. You're sled dogging me, man,
I'm slid dogging.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
The verb form of it. You're sled dogging me.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
That's where I think you're That that packs a little punch.
I think I need to be onto something there.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
I sent.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
I have an old friend in radio, and he was
on TV's Glenn Beck and Glenn and I. He's done
my show before, and so I sent the thing to Glenn.
I don't know if it'll catch on, but he's got
like for Melli and people if follow him. So I'm
hoping that he gets out there, and then I'm hoping
for an invite on CNN, where they, you know, rip
my ass on national television.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
I would love to see you on one of those
stupid panel shows on skin and that they're doing these
days to try to appeal to everybody. I would love
to see you being one of the conservative boy This
is that frequent sine and that that would be highly entertaining.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
I've been around a lot of conservatives, you know. I
hosted the Reagan Dinner one year, and uh and there,
I mean you had to be a rich Republican to
buy a table there, and they had me hosted, and
I remember going, you know, the guy that arrested me
is on this side of the building and the guy
that got me off was on that side of the building,
which I thought was pretty funny line. And I was

(06:26):
a convicted felon. So I said, you know, if I
could vote, i'd vote for Rick Perry. Rick came and
then Rick said quit telling saying that to the people.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
They was going to believe it.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
And I was like, you know, if I could vote,
i'd vote often for Rick Perry.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
You know that's what they say. But let me tell
you what I did a joke.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Now, this was a long time ago, and I said,
you guys want to build this border wall?

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Man? And I said, yeah, I mean, y'all are crazy
about it. Now. This was years and years and years
ago before it became the thing.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
And I said, y'all, apparently y'all never had a wall built.
You know, that's who who builds the walls because the
Mexicans that you want to keep out. I said, I
guess the whole key would be at the end, to
be on this side, not the other side. You know,
it'd be over here when you get to the end
of the wall.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
And so.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
I had a lady come up to me, very conservative
Republican Christian, all the fill out.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
All the blockers, all the boxes.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
And she said, and you would have been proud of me, Puma.
She said, you know, I know you have to be funny,
and you certainly were funny. I laughed out loud, sir,
but I must tell you I was offended at a
couple of things you said.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
And I said, well, that's just.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Silly me because I'm all caught up in this freedom
of speech thing they have. However, I know you paid
about ten thousand dollars for a table. So let me
apologize from the deepest. Whatever you need, you know, whatever
makes you go home going. I gave him a piece
of my mind. You've got it. I apologize.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
It's almost it's almost like everyone is actually a snowflake.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
It's not.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
Everybody is really and is going Something out there that
someone is doing will offend you. And if you have
to if you have to give them a piece of
your mind. I think that kind of makes you the definition.
Just laugh it off, laugh at off.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
I told her.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
I said, but I said, I was true about that
convicted fella. I don't really have a dog in the fight,
you know. And in fact, I would go to the
post office during the you know, when they're trying to
get people get ready to vote, and these women to.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Go, have you have you signed up to vote? In
I go, now, I'm a convicted felon.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
And the look on their face is and then they
go thank you, and I go, you just thank me
for being a convicted fella, And then I giggle. And
my wife got mad at me because he said, you're looking
for reasons to go to post office and it's crew with.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Them, a white women, And I said, I have.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
A boxer that has the opponent in the corner and
just swing and just not letting them out.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
You know what you're doing.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
I'm always were doing that for all these years. That's
that and not having jury due to here the only
two good things about being.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
A victor felling.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
But it was funny because I used to host a
lot of a lot of shit for Rick Perry, and
he goes quit telling people that they're gonna believe you.
And I said, well, his lawyer is the one that
got me off.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Phil. He said, you know you're.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Not supposed to you know you're not supposed to do it.
I'll tell you this, I know if you do have money,
it's a lot better. Because it cost me five grand
to get off probation early, because I was under like
fifteen years probation for a misunderstanding of the federal government
over some guns. Long story, I'll tell it someday, but uh, anyway,
I was in.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
I had a misunderstanding what the federal government.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
It was it wasn't good to quote them. We have
all the time and money in the world than they do.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
And the United States.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
My file said United States of America versus Greg Thompson.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
That's my real name.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
And that when you see that in print in a
big old file, you the whole country's lined up against me.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
It's not a sign. Do you want to find yourself?

Speaker 4 (10:06):
No?

Speaker 2 (10:06):
But eventually they they I got a got all And
that story alone is a long story. But anyway, though,
you know, I never shot anybody or anything like that
or so dope to kids or any of that. But
I sold a few guns anyway, a couple of thousand.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
But various.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Well.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Our the logo of the company I worked for was
one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
That was our motto on the door. Uh. And we
did what we had to do, you know.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
But when you met a contra or a sentinista, there
wasn't much difference. And really, really those contras were they
were just in it for the dope money.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
They didn't care. These want money's just like anybody else.
They weren't.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
