Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey, you're listening to the Bam Around experience on the
iHeart Podcast Network. We appreciate you. Got Big Puma, my
partner in crime here known Puma for a long time,
played college basketball and has the Sports Cave out of
San Antonio, the most popular sports show out of San Antonio,
and he is growing. They like leaps and bounds, So
how do they get that Puma?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Ah? Super easy. We try to make it as easy
as possible because if you were you know we talked
about last week, if you were as a tech limited
as we are. We try to make it as easy
as possible. Just anywhere you get your podcast, preferably that
iHeart app Just search for the Sports Cave with Biggest Puma.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
You will love it. It's real and it's very entertaining. I
enjoyed a lot, all right, So I thought this was interesting.
I'm a car guy. Everybody knows it. Oregon. In Oregon
this week they had seven shots fired at a Tesla dealership.
That is a new thing attack Tesla's and Tesla dealerships
(01:03):
because of the elon you know, in the political moves
that that he has made. People are hating U hating
on the Tesla folks. They are now saying you can
get the emblems BMW Volkswagen and replace your Tesla emblem
with BMW or Volkswagen so people won't know you're driving
(01:23):
a Tesla.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
You have to try to fool them. I mean, I
guess people actually don't care about cars as much as
we do, so you probably could get away with fooling.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
All look the same, except now the trucks. The trucks,
I say, you put a lid on it and tell
everybody it's a dumpster.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
But that's yeah, you're not getting that one.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
The trucks are cool, they're very fast. If you like
the drugs or the trucks are fine. I'm an old
truck guy, so that's kind of my thing. I don't
I didn't like the I didn't like it the minute
I saw it. I don't like it now. But they
build them here in Austin, Texas, where we live, and
uh so I have to like them because I want
everybody to have a job. Friends of ours. I've got
several people that work there. Uh, they're gonna make them cheaper.
(02:04):
I do know that they're coming out with a less
expensive Tesla, and they need to leave Tesla off of
it so that nobody knows what it is. And then
that way you don't have somebody throwing rocks at your
attacking you because because they're convinced Elon Musk is getting
their personal information. You know, he's got what three hundred
billion dollars, but he's going to look at Larry who
(02:25):
works it, you know, over to home depot. They're going
to look at his credit, you know, and steal room. No,
that's not going to have that, Larry.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I You know, there are so many angles of this story.
First of all, firing shots out of dealership that what
do you what are you accomplishing there? Right? I mean
to some level, if you want to really cause chaos,
I can understand lighting them on fire like that old
boy tried to do it the.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Other day the other day.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, like that, I understand you're actually causing substantial damage,
but just popping off half a dozen rounds towards the
dally anything. But the other part of it that I love,
you know, as a as a long haired as much
of a tree hugging hippie as you can be while
(03:14):
also growing up in Texas, you know, a.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Good balance mix.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, I love I'm an eagle scout. I love the
I love the environment, I love nature. I love leaving
places better than I found them. Absolutely, But the irony
that Tesla and Elon being attacked like this, the fact
that that might lead to more conservatives buying electric vehicles
and in helping the environment, it's ironically ironic, and it's
(03:43):
arguably the greatest thing Democrats might have done in the
last decade, in the last twenty years. If they can
get a bunch of conservatives to all of a sudden
start driving buying electric vehicles, that's better for everybody.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Three years ago, Elon Musk and Bill Gates were the left,
biggest guy, you know, they were like, look at our guys.
And then all of a sudden, now because he's finding uh,
he's actually and I don't know what his reasoning was.
Maybe he just wanted to get rid of government waste.
Maybe that's real. I know, people keep going, he wants
to be the richest man in the world. I go, well,
(04:17):
he's already the richest man in the world. What is
there out there that you couldn't buy with three hundred
billion dollars. That's always why I didn't understand putin. I
never understand the invasion of Ukraine when you've got and
they know, he's got at least one hundred billion dollars
in his own account that he's stolen from his country.
You know it's in his I mean, he's got nothing
on the Democrats. This guy has really ripped off people,
(04:39):
and so he's got this money hit all over the world.
What on God's name is you? Why would you invade
the Ukraine? Man? I would just I would have a
yacht full of strippers and be going, yeah, I'll stop
by and check on the country. But it's doing okay.
You know, everybody's making money. The little guards are doing great.
So then the ones running it.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Up, the Oligard, not the leader of the old nation,
but the Putin one. I somewhat understand on some level,
at least because of the you know, historical regional control, right,
you know, the Ukraine and all of the you know,
ethnic minorities, and the way the shifting you know, geopolitics
(05:22):
of the region where you know, all of a sudden
there's an arbitrary line that says, no, this is actually
no longer part of the land that has been a
part of yours forever. I could I can somewhat understand
a hardline nationalist like Putin wanting he's you know, ussr
to a core, not Russia to a core. He wants
(05:44):
it like it used to be. But the one you know,
outside of outside of you know, stripping some of the
agencies that were directly in charge of investigating his businesses.
I feel like a little that might be some you know,
potential conflict of interest, but uh, for for someone like
(06:07):
it's hard for me to balance the because when he
says I wanted I want to take us to Mars, dude,
I'm all in on that. Sure, the enhancement of space exploration,
the uh, you know, the scientific innovation that that would
lead to the you know fact that getting America back
to being a leader in you know, the the most
(06:28):
high tech industry you can have. I love that idea.
I love the idea of that.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
But then when you know, when you start dismantling like
Department of Education without a real planner like some of
these you know, the minor ones, that's where I start
to think, like, well, what is your actual goal in that?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Or Okay, I get chasing down and you know, in
in attacking the people that are trying to look at you,
you know, and going, hey, look how much money they've scammed.
You know, the Clintons alone. Okay, I'm gonna just tell you.
My buddy is a fireman here and there in Dripping Springs,
and he went to Haiti and for three hundred million dollars.
(07:08):
They showed him these guys that are down there in
Haiti when as a volunteer fireman, and they showed him
the three houses that the Clintons had built in half
a hotel with that three hundred million dollars. The rest
of it's in Chelsea's account and Bill Hillary's account. You know.
That was the funniest line ever heard. Chelsea goes, well,
I'm gonna go ahead and take it over that way.
Everybody knows it's on the up and up. Legit. And
(07:31):
now she's got eighty million in the bank. And then
you're going, I'm not shocked ever AOC broke bartender whichever
bartender I know is broke but broke bartender. Four years
later she got thirty million dollars in the in the bank.
Now I'll give you she made maybe fifteen million off
of her book, you know, because that was you were
(07:51):
mandated the order to buy her book. But at the
same time there's fifteen million dollars that she has gotten
from somebody and somehow, and uh and I still laugh.
And she was down there at the border the only
time she went and looking at crying, looking at through
the fence at these poor kids. And then they took
a picture from the other direction and it was an
empty field. She's, you know, it's a stage, which.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
It's when you know, when uh, well, hell, when Elon
puts on his border camo or ted looking like he's
on an African safari wading through the it's there's a
great account unusual wells, and it tracks congressmen, congress women
of all parties, uh, and how much money they make
(08:40):
off the stock market. So like if you and you
can and they track you know, cause I think congress
people have uh don't have to, you know, disclose their
trades as they'll take them so you get them like
a month later or whatever. But even at that point,
if you just follow Nancy Pelosi stock trading, yeah, you
(09:01):
are a millionaire because that they're all doing it. They're
all except for a small amount, there are a few
that don't partake in any kind of insider trading, because
that's exactly what it is.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
She had a deal. She goes, well, I just I
play the market. No, you've never had a loss. She's
never had a single stock lose. Now, anybody's been in
the market, we all got four one ks. Sometimes you're up,
sometimes you're down. You don't know. You know, if you're
a day trader, many times you lose a lot in
(09:34):
a quick time. Nancy Pelosi has never had a losing
stock ever. Now, I don't know what else you can
say to that. I remember when they questioned her about it.
Her attitude was, so, you know, I'm in charge, what
are you gonna do? So I guess they're looking at it,
but they always seem to vote these same people back
in anyway. But I don't know. You could go for
(09:56):
hours talking about that, and I forgot what we were
talking about. Now.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I think it's the same as like the rich person
that pays less taxes than.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
The secretariat hospital.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
It would be stupid for that rich person not to
take advantage of the system, and it's stupid on us
to allow that by not having the rule. Because the
rules are what they are, and if you don't like them,
they need to be They should be changed.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I'd hate to see me with one hundred billion dollars
if I've got an extra grand and that hadn't happened
in years. But when I had extra thousand dollars, I
was a big gass hole in the world. I'm like,
I loaded right now, I'm flesh with cash. So I'm gonna,
you know, be a jerk. If I had one hundred
billion dollars, well, I'd invade you grange just for fun,
you know, play an army, you know, in my tanks.
(10:43):
It's like, hey, have something to do again.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
It feels like when you when you're at the wealth
of Elon or you're at the power of uh you know,
a US senator, hell even putin for that matter, it
kind of feels like that's all your doing it. Everything's
just the.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Toy, just your toy. The world is your toy. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Uh, well, I'd like I'd like them to stop dealerships.
That's the takeaway here, Yeah, the Tesla dealerships.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Quit shooting dealership, don't shoot any dealer, don't shoot anything
is up to target, you know, or just don't shoot anything.
I had a friend of mine, he couldn't wait to
shoot somebody at his carry permit. And I said, I said,
my buddy, it's no longer with us recipe people. I said,
you know how much it costs if you shoot somebody, Well,
(11:31):
the so and so organization they'll they'll give me a
lawyer to stand behind me. And I said, you don't
want any appointed lawyer. Remember that, I don't care what
it is. You don't want a lawyer that someone had
to assign to you because that ain't their heart ain't
in it. The only thing in the lawyer knows is cash.
And my daughter's a lawyer. I get away. I paid
Baylor Law quarter of million dollars. I get to say that.
(11:53):
I get to say that, and I don't care who
you are. I get to say that every time I want,
because I paid for the privilege anyway. So all that
to say, quit shooting stuff, quit shooting ship up. Okay,
let's do that all right? Our heart where you get
your podcasts and we appreciate it. You're listening to the
Bama Brown experience.
