Speaker 1 (00:03):
Well, hey, you're listening to the Bama Brown Experience on
the iHeart podcast network. We're growing every day. Got a
lot of folks listen to us, and we appreciate that
ten fifteen minute long show. No commercials, just fun. We
laugh your language warning now, who I don't. I'm by
(00:24):
the way, big Cat Puma's here. He's my co host
and producer. He doesn't cuss. I do, but I always have.
It's just I'm not bound by the FCC anymore with
this deal. So but I don't just come on here
like a sailor and just let him fly. But you know,
I talk like people talk. I don't even know why
I got off into that. I'm gonna do some criminals.
(00:44):
But before I do, plug your Sports Cave right now?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yeah, well it's the best damn sports show now. I
don't know anytime. It's soitch He's crazy. It's the nature
of being just on a mic.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Start to think like, oh god, I eliminate half of
my vocabulary and don't even think about saying most of it.
But now, an anywhere you get your podcast you want
a little sports fix, I just search for the sports
Cave with the biggest Puma and we'll get you hooked
up anywhere you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I'm doing Boneheads now on the podcast, so I have
some I have three pretty good ones here. This is
in Iowa. A couple of people came home from work
and there was a nine foot python wrapped up in
front of their front door.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
And I, okay, that's got to be someone's pet that
escaped and escaped.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
But imagine getting out of the car after work all day,
walking up to your front door and there's a nine
foot python. They called animal control, they came out. They
nicknamed him Sir hiss a Lot okay because he was
he was not happy. They took him out to a
snake place wherever there's a reptile farm, and they put
him there and he's living happily ever after. Now that
(02:00):
was what they used to tell us when they was
gonna put the dog down the farm in the country.
So maybe they chopped the snake's head off. I don't
mean yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
It the shock The most shocking part of that story
is not the snake itself. It's the fact that it's
in Iowa.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
In Florida, it would be like, oh, okay, Iowa, you
you would be more you would.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Be more worried about driving home and a polar bear
being in your front yard. A Boechan strigger, a python.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Our next doory. Since we're on the animal thing here, Uh,
they had delivery animal that had was sneaking. Uh it
was sneaking coke and heroin into prison. Animal was with
a package wrapped around the neck. It was a cat,
Sir Lank. They had taught this cat how to delivered ope,
(02:57):
Sir Lank. Wonder how Yeah, and it wasn't the first time.
It's a heroin, that's a bucks man. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
And in that setting they could be a kingpin with
that much.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I thought that was pretty interesting. Uh. Here's the worst
plastic surgeries you can have. This is the ones. There
was a list come out. I only have four. This
is like, if you're gonna have plastic surgery, here's the
four that have the least success, that have complications. Number
four was they call it the fox eye treatment. I
don't know anything about it, and movie stars get this
(03:39):
fox eye thing. Anything about it.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
It's like the Uh it's it's like it it elevates
the like the corners of your eyes. So what it
is Yeah, gets your eyes from sagging from.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Like Okay, they say it doesn't work all the time,
but it's only number four. Uh. Number three was a
non surgical nose reshaping. Now I don't know how you
do that when non surgery. I just say inject stuff
in it or whatever.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
But yeah, that's better than what I was envisioning. I
was just imagining some doctor with like a mallet, just kind.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Of I'll pay you to stop. Uh. Number two sculptured cheekbones.
When they have the cheekbones real tight. Uh, they say
a lot of times that can make your face. Eventually
it will draw in too much and you can look
like a skeleton. This is this is just about These
(04:36):
are the ones that go like they interviewed people. This
is the ones that went badly the most.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
It sounds like these are like all of the all
of the surgeries or jobs that like Laura Flynn Boyle
has ever gotten.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
She don't even look like her man at her time.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
These are described of like you, you're you look like
a different person after this.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Remember she was in the first uh what was the
one with uh the space one? Uh, God, Lee, help
me out, man. She was she was an alien in
black leather.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, men in black, men in black. Yeah, I got
she was in the she looked good.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
And in black Olvin. I'm getting kind of creepy here.
Our number one, uh, was the Brazilian butt lift. They
say the Brazilian butt lift a lot of times doesn't
go well. I mean, it starts out pretty good, but
remember with time things.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Sag grapty is undefeated.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, and so at some point it could be an issue.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
You always hear those are the ones where it's like, uh,
you know, the lady went to Mexico and ended up
having you know, plastic concrete spray. Yeah, but because it
was like, you don't know what they're actually.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I don't know what they're doing. You're in some foreign country. Well,
don't know what they're doing here.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I mean I wouldn't trust I wouldn't trust it here
there anywhere, to be honest, I.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Guess Brazil's where most of that was done. That's why
I call it the Brazilian butt lift. But anyway, I would, uh,
I would double check where you're getting that done. All right,
here's the best place is to raise a family.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Yeah, okay, all right, we'll jump up from that and
move to something nicer family from now once again. Five,
because really I only have the attention span of any
of this shit for five.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Souh uh. Number five South Burlington, Vermont. I haven't thought
of the Vermont, and I couldn't tell you the last
time I heard anything about Vermont.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
See I I would never I don't think I would
ever cross the Mason Dixon.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
But if I ever did, the Vermont main.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I think that would act because Vermont seem like they
are you know what you when you have that buddy
who says I'm not a Democrat or Republican, I'm a
Libertarian and you're like, okay, whatever, dude, Like it feels
like Vermont actually has.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
A bunch of whole deal.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
So I think I would.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Fit in somewhat decently up there without having to change.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I couldn't name another city in Vermont, I remembering.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
About the only one I got. Yeah, I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I can't even think of Vermont something.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Now I got nothing for you, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Second is Irvine, California, which I'm gonna I doubt that.
I can't imagine any any city in California being the
best place to raise a family.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Now I'll pass on that. Oh, yeah, Mont Peelier, capital
of Vermont.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
For Yeah, that's right. Yeah, Ue, we got to now,
well what else you don't need something else?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I think that's the whole state right there.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah. Uh. Plano, Texas was number three. Plano was a great,
great town, I think so.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
You know, I had a multiple cousins that grew up
in Plano in the nineties, and I think they might
want to argue against.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
That way.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Overland Park, Kansas was number two. Overland Park was a
lot of engineers in Overland Park we used to do
business with. I don't know. You know, a lot of
big engineering firms are based there. Why I don't know.
But and then the number one was Fremont, California. Once again,
another California city. The best place to raise a family.
(08:22):
I doubt that, not with the taxes and not with
the things that go on in California. Is done, I think.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
But yeah, I was about to say maybe if you're
only raising one kid, but yeah, anything else, the expensive
or the expense cost of living would be ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I saw a story out of Monroe, Michigan. I'm moving
just through these stories because you know, it's Friday and
I'm tired. But because this fifteen minute show is wearing
me out, you are, But there there was a father
son in Monroe, Michigan that reported seeing Bigfoot this week.
(08:59):
And the guy, you know, they the people that take
those reports and stuff, they said they were very credible.
They go, this wasn't people looking for attention. They don't
want anybody know their names. But they reported it. They
said it was park bear, park gorilla. It was walking
on two feet, but they said, they go, We're like anybody,
we've never believed any of that stuff. But they said,
(09:21):
and it wasn't a man in a gorilla suit. They go,
this was a real deal. We both saw it. We've
not been drinking, and we reported it. But we only
might know who we reported because we don't want people
calling us booth.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Okay, First of all, when a Michigander says they haven't
been drinking, that just means they've only had one twelve.
So again, like, I'm inclined to believe him because I
want to believe in the existence of kryptoids like sasquatch.
But yeah, still a Michigan man telling me he saw
(09:55):
a half bear, half gorilla, and.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Uh, well, they always show you where they all on
the on their hand. You know, I live on the
hand there. I live over here.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
You know those damn oopers up there.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah, that's it. That's It's all I know is it's
cold there. But if I live there, i'd want a
gorilla suit, I think, because that's that's awfully cold, all right.
And then finally I thought this was pretty cool. But
how what will you do for yourself this year? Uh?
And then maybe you could start this for next year?
What will bring you happiness? And this? They have a
(10:29):
list and this is I like this pretty This is
a pretty good list.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
This.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I thought this was pretty cool. Number five was vacation plans,
not just vacations, but they go once you've made now
they've talked to psychiatrists and doctors. I sa how they
got this, you know, this got this figured out. But
they go the fact that you've got vacation plans and
you've made them in advance and you know what's coming
will put you in a happier mood. You know what's coming.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
In the last two years, I've known we're going to
tell you right, and it's it's sometimes in the October,
sometimes even in September, I'm thinking that I'll be and
tell you right in another another couple of months. I
go over in December. I really, I don't know if
i'll go this year because it is pricey.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
But what you pay for though, Yeah, it's man.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
You get up there in those mountains and it's just
like and I was looking just staring at this mountain,
and I was on a mountain staring at this other mountain,
and I go, this is beautiful. And the guy goes,
that's a course can. That's what I was looking at
mountains from the course can. I said, sh I thought
that was familiar. I mean yeah, I said, I've never
seen it sober before. That's it's beautiful, but it's pretty
(11:37):
up there. A small purchase Number four. A small purchase,
not a car, not a house, but just a small purchase.
You know that you make something you've been wanting less
than a hundred bucks, it will make you in a
good mood because you feel like you've done something successful
for yourself and you're making your move it forward momentum,
(11:58):
I guess is what it is. Umber three. And this
is true being generous to some people, just doing something
for somebody doesn't have to necessarily me buy something, but
just doing something generous and volunteering or something it puts
you in such a good mood you feel better about
yourself automatically. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I think if more people realize the endorphins that are
released when you actually are just a decent person like you,
would be a lot more inclined to do generous things regularly.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
If the Puma and I a little bit been fortunate
in our jobs over the years. We've both been in
this business a long time. We do a lot of
community services that's not required, but it is kind of
to keep our license. But we do it anyway because
we have thousands of listeners and when we get on there,
we legitimately know what are real charities and what aren't,
(12:48):
what are scams. And so when we come out and say, hey,
you know, make a wish or our big wines Saint
Jude for iHeart, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Our big one over here is the food bank. Yeah, absolutely,
one day and see how good you feel. First of all,
you're doing something great for the community, but selfishly, see
how good you feel from volunteering one afternoon at the
food bank. It'll change. It'll absolutely change the way you
think about and.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
When you're sitting there in your mind going okay, I'm
going to the food bank to work. It's not necessarily
you delivering food. You just go and box food. They
have the food, they have the boxes. You just show up,
put the food in the boxes. I'm telling you two
hours of that. When you're done, you meet people, you're talking,
you're laughing, but you're you know. They they guide you
(13:36):
and make it. But it's a real labor intense thing,
and they rely on volunteers and take the kids with
summer when the kids go on board, say you know what,
go over there to Mobile Loves and Fishes. Here. There's
also the food bank here. You've got San Antonio as.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Well, kind a soup kitchen, go serve.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Just go over there and put get your kids because
there's no age limit on it. That was the thing
about the putting them in the boxes. There was no age.
I mean it's mostly teenagers. When we were in there,
a lot of parents had their teenagers in there, and
two hours later you got a better kid. I don't care.
They did something for somebody else and they're off that phone.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, that's you know, that's the other side of thinking
back to you know, I was raised ultra religious, and
you know, the parts of my childhood around religion, like
I don't remember. I don't remember the the sermons as much.
I don't remember the you know, specific do this, don't
(14:38):
do that. Resport was on my life. The thing that
I always loved about the church was when we actually
did service, when we actually did project like that or
go to a you know, go to a you know,
a soup kitchen or a clothing drive or you know
some kind of thrift uh, you know, situation or anything
(14:59):
like that like those are it feels like it feels
like there's a lot more to religion than just reading
the book and sitting in the reviews. And I think
a lot of people miss that service aspect of it.
But that's the part that affected me more than any
of the sermons or any of the hymns or any
of that.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I never thought about anybody but myself until I was
thirty years old and got in radio and the first
charity event it it was a pet food drive with
the guys from Tuna the to play Tuna Texas, you know,
oh yeah, And I felt so good after helping with that,
and then we did make a wish and then we
started doing all of these different charities that we worked for.
(15:40):
And I'm telling you, man, it it is the best
feeling in the world when you're able to help somebody
that's been I mean, everybody's been down and out at
least once. If you hadn't, it's coming.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
It's coming. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
And when somebody extends a hand, it doesn't expect anything
for it. And I'm telling you it it changes you
and makes you a better person, and uh, we could
all use it.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
It changes you in ways you can't you don't even
realize it's going to.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Or there's a couple more that will bring you happiness,
as this list we were doing. Uh, hire someone from
a house cleaner or a delivery service, get the groceries
delivered just once or twice. Or hire somebody to come
in for just a while to clean the house. Uh,
maybe for your spouse or whatever.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
They say, this will make you feel so much better
to come home and have a clean house. And or
maybe you get the food delivered for a week where
you didn't have to go fight it out at HB,
you know.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
And I thought that was a pretty good idea. Uh.
And then last it's just out of nowhere. But Puma
and I, this is kind of this doesn't apply to us.
When you go to a concert. If you can go
to a concert, a big event at least once a
you a couple of times a year, you will come
away feeling so much better. Now we're Boom and I
(17:06):
are required to do this, and so that's part of
our deal is we do a lot of concerts. Where
we have done a lot of concerts because we work
at them, you know. And so yeah, so that was
never really I never would have thought that would be.
But boy when they say when people get to do
that one event like that, not a major event, but
(17:28):
you know someone that you see, some name band or
something that makes you feel good.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yeah, you mentioned it.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
You know, the same way that the you know, doing
a service project or working for the food bank will
take you off your phone for a couple hours.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
You know.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Concerts and sporting events are some of the last true
social guest things we have now where everyone is well
and church for that matter, you know, where everyone is
so glued to whatever the screen, whether it's a phone,
a laptop, a tablet, whatever, TV on your couch. The
(18:06):
amount of opportunities we have to be social with each
other is dwindling more and more as we become more digital,
just in our everyday lives. So it makes perfect sense
to me. It's not about seeing the concert, it's just
about being around actual humans.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
You watch kids, you watch kids today, and that sounds
like an old person, But I'm telling you. Kids don't
know how to interact with people they don't.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Have Obviously we don't have our own, but I feel
like I can see it pretty clearly without having a
kid of my own.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I've had maybe this happened in the last two years,
three years, maybe three or four children, younger adults, like teenagers,
I would say, And when their mom or dad introduces
me to them, they just stare at you and they
look back down at their phone. They don't shake your hand,
they don't say hello. They just they don't know how
to uh, you know. And of course I'm an older guy,
(19:03):
so what am I going to offer them? You know?
But their mom and dad, their their mom and dad
are immediately embarrassed that their child is doesn't have quote
manners unquote. You always shook a hand, you always said hello.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
And then, instead of trying to educate them or developing them.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
They just label it up.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Oh he's got he's got a massive anxiety. So we'll
just medicate this with some prescription.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
So that's a that's a list of stuff that you
can do for yourself, for your spouse. It makes you
happy anyway. Listening to podcasts, that's the number one on
our list. You listen to this podcast, hopefully that makes
you happy. It may or may not, but not necessarily
go buy this one. Puma's as good. Sports one's great.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah, maybe some of the true crime murder podcasts, let's'll
put you in.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. You can try to solve a case.
You go, well, at least, ain't that guy I do
that a lot. I say that a lot. Lisa ain't
do that. These ain't that guy? You know? A good
way to live life, right exactly? Well, thank you for
listening to that hard podcast network. We appreciate it. Then
we'll see you next week.
Well, hey, you're listening to the Bama Brown Experience on
the iHeart podcast network. We're growing every day. Got a
lot of folks listen to us, and we appreciate that
ten fifteen minute long show. No commercials, just fun. We
laugh your language warning now, who I don't. I'm by
(00:24):
the way, big Cat Puma's here. He's my co host
and producer. He doesn't cuss. I do, but I always have.
It's just I'm not bound by the FCC anymore with
this deal. So but I don't just come on here
like a sailor and just let him fly. But you know,
I talk like people talk. I don't even know why
I got off into that. I'm gonna do some criminals.
(00:44):
But before I do, plug your Sports Cave right now?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yeah, well it's the best damn sports show now. I
don't know anytime. It's soitch He's crazy. It's the nature
of being just on a mic.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Start to think like, oh god, I eliminate half of
my vocabulary and don't even think about saying most of it.
But now, an anywhere you get your podcast you want
a little sports fix, I just search for the sports
Cave with the biggest Puma and we'll get you hooked
up anywhere you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I'm doing Boneheads now on the podcast, so I have
some I have three pretty good ones here. This is
in Iowa. A couple of people came home from work
and there was a nine foot python wrapped up in
front of their front door.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
And I, okay, that's got to be someone's pet that
escaped and escaped.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
But imagine getting out of the car after work all day,
walking up to your front door and there's a nine
foot python. They called animal control, they came out. They
nicknamed him Sir hiss a Lot okay because he was
he was not happy. They took him out to a
snake place wherever there's a reptile farm, and they put
him there and he's living happily ever after. Now that
(02:00):
was what they used to tell us when they was
gonna put the dog down the farm in the country.
So maybe they chopped the snake's head off. I don't
mean yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
It the shock The most shocking part of that story
is not the snake itself. It's the fact that it's

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
In Florida, it would be like, oh, okay, Iowa, you
you would be more you would.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Be more worried about driving home and a polar bear
being in your front yard. A Boechan strigger, a python.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Our next doory. Since we're on the animal thing here, Uh,
they had delivery animal that had was sneaking. Uh it
was sneaking coke and heroin into prison. Animal was with
a package wrapped around the neck. It was a cat,
Sir Lank. They had taught this cat how to delivered ope,
(02:57):
Sir Lank. Wonder how Yeah, and it wasn't the first time.
It's a heroin, that's a bucks man. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
And in that setting they could be a kingpin with
that much.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I thought that was pretty interesting. Uh. Here's the worst
plastic surgeries you can have. This is the ones. There
was a list come out. I only have four. This
is like, if you're gonna have plastic surgery, here's the
four that have the least success, that have complications. Number
four was they call it the fox eye treatment. I
don't know anything about it, and movie stars get this
(03:39):
fox eye thing. Anything about it.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
It's like the Uh it's it's like it it elevates
the like the corners of your eyes. So what it
is Yeah, gets your eyes from sagging from.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Like Okay, they say it doesn't work all the time,
but it's only number four. Uh. Number three was a
non surgical nose reshaping. Now I don't know how you
do that when non surgery. I just say inject stuff
in it or whatever.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
But yeah, that's better than what I was envisioning. I
was just imagining some doctor with like a mallet, just kind.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Of I'll pay you to stop. Uh. Number two sculptured cheekbones.
When they have the cheekbones real tight. Uh, they say
a lot of times that can make your face. Eventually
it will draw in too much and you can look
like a skeleton. This is this is just about These
(04:36):
are the ones that go like they interviewed people. This
is the ones that went badly the most.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
It sounds like these are like all of the all
of the surgeries or jobs that like Laura Flynn Boyle
has ever gotten.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
She don't even look like her man at her time.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
These are described of like you, you're you look like
a different person after this.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Remember she was in the first uh what was the
one with uh the space one? Uh, God, Lee, help
me out, man. She was she was an alien in
black leather.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, men in black, men in black. Yeah, I got
she was in the she looked good.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
And in black Olvin. I'm getting kind of creepy here.
Our number one, uh, was the Brazilian butt lift. They
say the Brazilian butt lift a lot of times doesn't
go well. I mean, it starts out pretty good, but
remember with time things.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Sag grapty is undefeated.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, and so at some point it could be an issue.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
You always hear those are the ones where it's like, uh,
you know, the lady went to Mexico and ended up
having you know, plastic concrete spray. Yeah, but because it
was like, you don't know what they're actually.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I don't know what they're doing. You're in some foreign country. Well,
don't know what they're doing here.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I mean I wouldn't trust I wouldn't trust it here
there anywhere, to be honest, I.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Guess Brazil's where most of that was done. That's why
I call it the Brazilian butt lift. But anyway, I would, uh,
I would double check where you're getting that done. All right,
here's the best place is to raise a family.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Yeah, okay, all right, we'll jump up from that and
move to something nicer family from now once again. Five,
because really I only have the attention span of any
of this shit for five.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Souh uh. Number five South Burlington, Vermont. I haven't thought
of the Vermont, and I couldn't tell you the last
time I heard anything about Vermont.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
See I I would never I don't think I would
ever cross the Mason Dixon.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
But if I ever did, the Vermont main.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I think that would act because Vermont seem like they
are you know what you when you have that buddy
who says I'm not a Democrat or Republican, I'm a
Libertarian and you're like, okay, whatever, dude, Like it feels
like Vermont actually has.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
A bunch of whole deal.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
So I think I would.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Fit in somewhat decently up there without having to change.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I couldn't name another city in Vermont, I remembering.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
About the only one I got. Yeah, I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I can't even think of Vermont something.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Now I got nothing for you, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Second is Irvine, California, which I'm gonna I doubt that.
I can't imagine any any city in California being the
best place to raise a family.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Now I'll pass on that. Oh, yeah, Mont Peelier, capital
of Vermont.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
For Yeah, that's right. Yeah, Ue, we got to now,
well what else you don't need something else?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I think that's the whole state right there.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah. Uh. Plano, Texas was number three. Plano was a great,
great town, I think so.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
You know, I had a multiple cousins that grew up
in Plano in the nineties, and I think they might
want to argue against.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
That way.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Overland Park, Kansas was number two. Overland Park was a
lot of engineers in Overland Park we used to do
business with. I don't know. You know, a lot of
big engineering firms are based there. Why I don't know.
But and then the number one was Fremont, California. Once again,
another California city. The best place to raise a family.
(08:22):
I doubt that, not with the taxes and not with
the things that go on in California. Is done, I think.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
But yeah, I was about to say maybe if you're
only raising one kid, but yeah, anything else, the expensive
or the expense cost of living would be ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I saw a story out of Monroe, Michigan. I'm moving
just through these stories because you know, it's Friday and
I'm tired. But because this fifteen minute show is wearing
me out, you are, But there there was a father
son in Monroe, Michigan that reported seeing Bigfoot this week.
(08:59):
And the guy, you know, they the people that take
those reports and stuff, they said they were very credible.
They go, this wasn't people looking for attention. They don't
want anybody know their names. But they reported it. They
said it was park bear, park gorilla. It was walking
on two feet, but they said, they go, We're like anybody,
we've never believed any of that stuff. But they said,
(09:21):
and it wasn't a man in a gorilla suit. They go,
this was a real deal. We both saw it. We've
not been drinking, and we reported it. But we only
might know who we reported because we don't want people
calling us booth.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Okay, First of all, when a Michigander says they haven't
been drinking, that just means they've only had one twelve.
So again, like, I'm inclined to believe him because I
want to believe in the existence of kryptoids like sasquatch.
But yeah, still a Michigan man telling me he saw
(09:55):
a half bear, half gorilla, and.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Uh, well, they always show you where they all on
the on their hand. You know, I live on the
hand there. I live over here.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
You know those damn oopers up there.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah, that's it. That's It's all I know is it's
cold there. But if I live there, i'd want a
gorilla suit, I think, because that's that's awfully cold, all right.
And then finally I thought this was pretty cool. But
how what will you do for yourself this year? Uh?
And then maybe you could start this for next year?
What will bring you happiness? And this? They have a
(10:29):
list and this is I like this pretty This is
a pretty good list.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
This.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I thought this was pretty cool. Number five was vacation plans,
not just vacations, but they go once you've made now
they've talked to psychiatrists and doctors. I sa how they
got this, you know, this got this figured out. But
they go the fact that you've got vacation plans and
you've made them in advance and you know what's coming
will put you in a happier mood. You know what's coming.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
In the last two years, I've known we're going to
tell you right, and it's it's sometimes in the October,
sometimes even in September, I'm thinking that I'll be and
tell you right in another another couple of months. I
go over in December. I really, I don't know if
i'll go this year because it is pricey.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
But what you pay for though, Yeah, it's man.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
You get up there in those mountains and it's just
like and I was looking just staring at this mountain,
and I was on a mountain staring at this other mountain,
and I go, this is beautiful. And the guy goes,
that's a course can. That's what I was looking at
mountains from the course can. I said, sh I thought
that was familiar. I mean yeah, I said, I've never
seen it sober before. That's it's beautiful, but it's pretty
(11:37):
up there. A small purchase Number four. A small purchase,
not a car, not a house, but just a small purchase.
You know that you make something you've been wanting less
than a hundred bucks, it will make you in a
good mood because you feel like you've done something successful
for yourself and you're making your move it forward momentum,
(11:58):
I guess is what it is. Umber three. And this
is true being generous to some people, just doing something
for somebody doesn't have to necessarily me buy something, but
just doing something generous and volunteering or something it puts
you in such a good mood you feel better about
yourself automatically. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I think if more people realize the endorphins that are
released when you actually are just a decent person like you,
would be a lot more inclined to do generous things regularly.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
If the Puma and I a little bit been fortunate
in our jobs over the years. We've both been in
this business a long time. We do a lot of
community services that's not required, but it is kind of
to keep our license. But we do it anyway because
we have thousands of listeners and when we get on there,
we legitimately know what are real charities and what aren't,
(12:48):
what are scams. And so when we come out and say, hey,
you know, make a wish or our big wines Saint
Jude for iHeart, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Our big one over here is the food bank. Yeah, absolutely,
one day and see how good you feel. First of all,
you're doing something great for the community, but selfishly, see
how good you feel from volunteering one afternoon at the
food bank. It'll change. It'll absolutely change the way you
think about and.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
When you're sitting there in your mind going okay, I'm
going to the food bank to work. It's not necessarily
you delivering food. You just go and box food. They
have the food, they have the boxes. You just show up,
put the food in the boxes. I'm telling you two
hours of that. When you're done, you meet people, you're talking,
you're laughing, but you're you know. They they guide you
(13:36):
and make it. But it's a real labor intense thing,
and they rely on volunteers and take the kids with
summer when the kids go on board, say you know what,
go over there to Mobile Loves and Fishes. Here. There's
also the food bank here. You've got San Antonio as.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Well, kind a soup kitchen, go serve.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Just go over there and put get your kids because
there's no age limit on it. That was the thing
about the putting them in the boxes. There was no age.
I mean it's mostly teenagers. When we were in there,
a lot of parents had their teenagers in there, and
two hours later you got a better kid. I don't care.
They did something for somebody else and they're off that phone.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, that's you know, that's the other side of thinking
back to you know, I was raised ultra religious, and
you know, the parts of my childhood around religion, like
I don't remember. I don't remember the the sermons as much.
I don't remember the you know, specific do this, don't
(14:38):
do that. Resport was on my life. The thing that
I always loved about the church was when we actually
did service, when we actually did project like that or
go to a you know, go to a you know,
a soup kitchen or a clothing drive or you know
some kind of thrift uh, you know, situation or anything
(14:59):
like that like those are it feels like it feels
like there's a lot more to religion than just reading
the book and sitting in the reviews. And I think
a lot of people miss that service aspect of it.
But that's the part that affected me more than any
of the sermons or any of the hymns or any
of that.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I never thought about anybody but myself until I was
thirty years old and got in radio and the first
charity event it it was a pet food drive with
the guys from Tuna the to play Tuna Texas, you know,
oh yeah, And I felt so good after helping with that,
and then we did make a wish and then we
started doing all of these different charities that we worked for.
(15:40):
And I'm telling you, man, it it is the best
feeling in the world when you're able to help somebody
that's been I mean, everybody's been down and out at
least once. If you hadn't, it's coming.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
It's coming. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
And when somebody extends a hand, it doesn't expect anything
for it. And I'm telling you it it changes you
and makes you a better person, and uh, we could
all use it.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
It changes you in ways you can't you don't even
realize it's going to.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Or there's a couple more that will bring you happiness,
as this list we were doing. Uh, hire someone from
a house cleaner or a delivery service, get the groceries
delivered just once or twice. Or hire somebody to come
in for just a while to clean the house. Uh,
maybe for your spouse or whatever.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
They say, this will make you feel so much better
to come home and have a clean house. And or
maybe you get the food delivered for a week where
you didn't have to go fight it out at HB,
you know.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
And I thought that was a pretty good idea. Uh.
And then last it's just out of nowhere. But Puma
and I, this is kind of this doesn't apply to us.
When you go to a concert. If you can go
to a concert, a big event at least once a
you a couple of times a year, you will come
away feeling so much better. Now we're Boom and I
(17:06):
are required to do this, and so that's part of
our deal is we do a lot of concerts. Where
we have done a lot of concerts because we work
at them, you know. And so yeah, so that was
never really I never would have thought that would be.
But boy when they say when people get to do
that one event like that, not a major event, but
(17:28):
you know someone that you see, some name band or
something that makes you feel good.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yeah, you mentioned it.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
You know, the same way that the you know, doing
a service project or working for the food bank will
take you off your phone for a couple hours.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
You know.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Concerts and sporting events are some of the last true
social guest things we have now where everyone is well
and church for that matter, you know, where everyone is
so glued to whatever the screen, whether it's a phone,
a laptop, a tablet, whatever, TV on your couch. The
(18:06):
amount of opportunities we have to be social with each
other is dwindling more and more as we become more digital,
just in our everyday lives. So it makes perfect sense
to me. It's not about seeing the concert, it's just
about being around actual humans.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
You watch kids, you watch kids today, and that sounds
like an old person, But I'm telling you. Kids don't
know how to interact with people they don't.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Have Obviously we don't have our own, but I feel
like I can see it pretty clearly without having a
kid of my own.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I've had maybe this happened in the last two years,
three years, maybe three or four children, younger adults, like teenagers,
I would say, And when their mom or dad introduces
me to them, they just stare at you and they
look back down at their phone. They don't shake your hand,
they don't say hello. They just they don't know how
to uh, you know. And of course I'm an older guy,
(19:03):
so what am I going to offer them? You know?
But their mom and dad, their their mom and dad
are immediately embarrassed that their child is doesn't have quote
manners unquote. You always shook a hand, you always said hello.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
And then, instead of trying to educate them or developing them.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
They just label it up.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Oh he's got he's got a massive anxiety. So we'll
just medicate this with some prescription.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
So that's a that's a list of stuff that you
can do for yourself, for your spouse. It makes you
happy anyway. Listening to podcasts, that's the number one on
our list. You listen to this podcast, hopefully that makes
you happy. It may or may not, but not necessarily
go buy this one. Puma's as good. Sports one's great.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah, maybe some of the true crime murder podcasts, let's'll
put you in.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. You can try to solve a case.
You go, well, at least, ain't that guy I do
that a lot. I say that a lot. Lisa ain't
do that. These ain't that guy? You know? A good
way to live life, right exactly? Well, thank you for
listening to that hard podcast network. We appreciate it. Then
we'll see you next week.
