What would you do if airport security pushed you to the edge? That’s where today’s episode of The Bama Brown Experience kicks off—a wild ride through bonehead moves, crime stories, and cinematic brilliance.

Bama and Puma dive into a jaw-dropping TSA incident in New Orleans, where a frustrated traveler takes “remove your belt” to the extreme. From there, the conversation spirals into hilarious personal anecdotes, including Bama’s own tense airport moment after his father’s passing, and a surprising tip for surviving those awkward security scans.

But it doesn’t stop there. We explore a bizarre burglary gone wrong in Illinois—think Hollywood heist meets slapstick comedy—and debate why criminals should probably stop watching so many movies. Speaking of movies, Bama delivers a passionate breakdown of iconic shootouts in films like Heat and Den of Thieves, revealing why sound design can make or break a scene.

This episode blends humor, real-life grit, and pop culture insights in a way only Bama Brown can. Don’t miss out—subscribe now, leave us a review, and share this episode with a friend who loves a good laugh and a great story.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
So I was about to.

Say, though, we've got our own fair I mean, every

right there, brother.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Right there, we're crime and drama.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Man, We're we're trying to podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Thank you for pointing that out. Let's start out with
a bonehead New Orleans Airport. Now, this whole standing in
line for hours is beginning to bother people, this whole
nationwide thing. There was a guy in the TSA line
there in New Orleans and they said pull your built
off he pulls belt off. Of course they have not

(02:20):
been making you take his shoes off. Made him take
his shoes off, he said, you know what, he just
stripped down buck making He said.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
How about that?

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Hey, here you go, now check me. He was arrested,
and I'm assuming somebody probably checked him. Especially of all
the jails, I don't think New Orleans is a jail
you want to.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Go to now.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Probably well, and you know eighty percent of the people
in there are still drunk or drugged up from the
night on Bourbon Street. This reminds me of do you
remember a couple of years ago when baseball started doing
all of the making the pictures. They checked their gloves
and check oh yeah, hands, make sure they weren't scuffing

(03:02):
or you knowing the ball with you know uh local
ointment and you know vaslin. In any of the old
baseball tricks, there was a picture Max Shirgers the first
time an umpire asked to check his glove, he and
and his belt line. That was exactly what he did.
He just undid his belt and dropped looking jersey off

(03:25):
and just made a whole big deal. Ended up got ejected,
but made a made a giant point of showing this
is this is a bit ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
I remember the only time.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
And I appreciate these guys do their job, you know,
because you don't know who's crazy out there or who's
going to do something. But when my dad died, I
was bringing my mom back in a wheelchair in Huntsville, Alabama,
and the guy goes, okay, I need to do, you know,
and he's checking and checking. He starts checking her wheelchair,
made her stand up, you know, and and then when

(03:58):
I held her and checking it and checking it and
sadder back down, and then he said I need to
see it. And I went, I'm going to stop you
right there. I said, I just buried my dad. And
I said, you're you're putting me through the ringer here
and I said, I'm about there. I've been dealing with
hospital insurance more or unal, I've been dealing with a

(04:22):
lot of stuff. And I said, I'm right there.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
You might want to stop.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
And the guy had walked up behind me and just
said you can go on through, sir, thank you very much.
But this other guy, he that was as close to
death as he's ever been.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Because I was ready to take it all out on
I mean, after dealing with the hospital and then going
I remember the hospital guy goes, we need the room, and.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
I said, well, what do you do with people?

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Just push them out the goddamn street or what No, sir,
we don't do that. And I said, well, call who's
ever in charge and wake them up and tell them
that I'm about to keep this room for tonight, you know.
And then Dad was laying there.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Going sort you know, and I was like, no, I mean,
this is not right. Anyway, got a RV, put him
on HARV, took him to Texas.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
But uh, the boy that guy had me, I was,
you know, I mean, you can just should be able
to tell that I.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Wasn't no terrorist and was hauling my mom who wasn't
a terrorist.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
But I get they got to do their job. But
even they know that it's uh uh, you know. That's cool. Though,
the other side of that is when I have to
walk through and put my hands up. I told the
guy each time I told him, I go, I'm missing
my left toe. I have no balance, and they go really,
you know, and I go yeah, and they look down
and see my sock and they realize I don't have

(05:41):
a toe, and I go, I can't hold stand still.
And one of them said, put your hands closer together,
and I did, and I got my balance from better.
He goes, yeah, bring him in closer, and I go okay,
and he goes there and he had dealt with that.
For some reason, it's easier to do that way when
you're standing. You know, you're on your feet, are on
the yellow feet and your My hands were together, and

(06:03):
it was a lot easier to stand and out like,
you know, like I give up or I, you know,
don't shoot.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Hey, I'm gonna have to try.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
It never happened, by the way.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Sure, I'm gonna have to.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Uh, let me turn into political deal h trick.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
Next time I have to do a filled sobriety test,
I remember to put my hands just closer together so
my balance is good.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
The CoP's gonna go even. Listen to Vanma.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
You remember Steve Hick said, I was so drunk one time,
I thought the lights in the patrol car was another
club I'd gone.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
To dancing in the card. I loved him. He was
funny man. That guy was hilarious.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Here's a woman in Genesco, Illinois. Uh, she broke into
a business and Uh, she'd come through the top. She
you know, she'd seen all the you know, the movies,
so she came through the top. Unfortunately, when she climbed
into the wall, she got stuck in the wall and
couldn't get out. She's trapped and I don't know how
she got in it or her house got stuck, but

(07:05):
somehow she's in the wall and she started shrewing her
help and the police came. It was at night, of course,
the police came and they were walking around and they
thought they heard something, but they left and there was
somebody in I guess in the building next door working
at night and called them back and said, I'm telling
you there's somebody in the somehow in the walls or something.

(07:25):
And they had to come back with the dogs and
finally they found her as he was trapped in the wall.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
So not good, you know, not good there.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
She hadn't you hear stories every now and then where
you know, a criminal gets stuck in a chimney and
ends up, you know, never being heard from.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, they find the bones or something.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
That there was there was that story, not I it
was Wisconsin. I think it was where there was a
dude that had been in the wall or the chimney
for like eighteen nineteen, almost twenty years, and they ended
up find it. He was all mummified and the Yeah,
I think it was a chimney and.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
He was probably going into steel a little bit.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
Yeah, I think it well, I think it was something
along those lines. Yeah, if I believe, if I remember
it correctly.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
I watched UH. I watched He and UH and in
all kinds of different cop movies. So here's just a
tip for the police. I'm not a cop, not a detective,
but you could probably do this fairly easy. Go to
where they have the building plans where they keep those downtown,
you know, and the and if someone comes in and

(08:35):
asks for the blueprints to a bank, write their name
down and go, you know, or maybe even.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Check it out like a library.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
He wants to see the blueprints to the American Bank
over here on First Street, his you know, write it down.
So within a few weeks, you know, if you watched
any movie at all, they always get the blueprints the
building from the city and then they go and rob

(09:03):
the bank.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
They make coffees and rob the bank.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
And yeah, that loeels like a dead giveaway.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
I mean, I've worked on this a lot. Well, I
haven't worked on a lot.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
I seen a lot of movies and it just kind
of occurred to me in watching The Prince of Thieves.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
You know, great movie.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
I love a shootout at the end. You know, it's
not even in the top thirty shootouts. And uh that
that's one of the best shootouts ever, you know, with
the what's his name, uh, Gerard Butler and uh Prince
of Thieves.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Right, and that is is that that's the title of it.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
I think anyway, the two just came out due just
just came out today.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Is as I get as much as one.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Heat was the number one shootout because it based on
a real shootout. So there, you know, if you like
seeing people get shot up.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Uh and who don't you know Heat?

Speaker 4 (09:54):
I mean, Heat is such a spectacular movie. He just
no good that when I made stuff, when I made
my wife watch it, even she appreciated the precision of
the of the of the camera work during the shootout.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
The sound.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
The thing about Heat that is so awesome is they
use the sound is so similar to what it would
actually sound like. And I filmed it, you know, on
the streets there, so the sound of those ar rounds
popping off, echoing through the urban corridor, through the jungle

(10:30):
down there of the buildings. That sound work is what
makes heat. I mean still, that's at least twice a year.
I am sitting down and rewatching the whole thing. I
think there's to do a sequel.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
They are, they're actually working on right now. Now.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
One of the things that that once again not a detective,
just one of those I just kind of say, why
don't you do this or not do this? Is when
you're caught up in a shootout. Inevitably someone yells get
down now the first gun, the first sound of a gunfight.

(11:09):
You don't have to tell me to get down. I
am down. I'm you should yell. Don't shit in your
pants is what you should yell. You know, start with that,
because that's what happens. You you want to get down.
And I mean they're continually He's in the parking lot,
you know, running, you know, Al's Al's running and and

(11:29):
uh and uh.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
From frontwards to backward.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, they're shooting. I mean he's shooting in uh you
know what the supermarket there? De Niro is and and uh,
Patinos yells get down to these idiot shoppers who are
standing there with their grocery cards going, did you maybe
don't yell at let nature take its course?

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Those we need, those gone, those people.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Need They're the ones that are holding up every goddamn
thing out there. They're holding the line up. I don't
know how to work the bank. I allowed to work
the money machine.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
I don't allowed to do this. I allowed you that.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Get it.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Just get out of a move, bitch, Get out of
the way.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
You know I didn't.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
I didn't have you quoting ludicrous on my bingo card today.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
That is welcome attack.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
It just

Speaker 2 (12:22):
That's a good one to get out of.
