where did Where's Obama come from? Because I want to
find out where Big Cat came from I want you
to explain that. But the Obama Brown Obama came from
my best friend when I moved from Alabama to Odessa, Texas. Yes,
(01:13):
my parents hated me, so that's why they made me
grow up in Alabama and then made me move to Odessa.
It's like, can you find somewhere worse in Alabama? Oh,

Speaker 2 (01:23):
We got just a place in mind.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Just wait, and it's going to be in your formative
years of childhood, just.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Right, exactly. So, I'm a high school kid, junior in
high school. Was the summer before my junior year and
had an auto mechanics class and met my lifelong best friend.
I have two of them from Odessa, both of them
just like brothers to me. And uh Donald Donald Morris,
my buddy. He's a professor over at ACC now, but
(01:51):
he at the time we were high school together and
auto mechanics and we met and he goes, where are
you from, man? I said, Alabama, And so he started
calling me Bama and it's stuck all these years. It's
been Bama and been a great radio name. Yest real well,
I've had over the course of the thirty seven years,
(02:11):
I've had three other program directors call me and go, hey,
can I use the Bama on my morning show for
my morning show?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Guy?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
And I go absolutely, you know, because there's make it
a leg make it your legacy.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
There was there was no satellite show in my future.
Size like, yeah, if it works for you, Super, I
don't care. Uh. How where did the Big Cat the
Big Puma? I think I know because I may have
been involved in that. But when you played college basketball, right,
you got old school?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah, go back kind of kind of like yours.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
It was you know, from from childhood friends, growing up
high school friends, and you know back then before Lance
Berkman was the Big Puma. Uh, it was the Big Cat.
Andres Galaraga, Uh, you know baseball player I loved, uh,
loved everything about his swing, loved uh, you know, the power,
(03:00):
the home runs of the nineties, and so I stole
his nickname, or not really stole it, but I would
we would play we would play stickball, you know, basically
like a mixture of baseball and cricket. And I would
always you know, do Gala Raga's batting stance, And anytime
I'd smash a home run, I would always just yell
(03:22):
Big Cat. And then we found, you know, in my hometown,
we have a you know, a history, a legend of panthers,
of Cougar's we had the cave up there. You know
fort Worth is panther city. Well, I'm about forty miles
south of southwest of Fort Worth, and so we still
(03:44):
had we had big cats that were roaming.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
You could hear them at.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Night, and so I always you know, i'd be out
at my grandparents' house. We'd be sitting outside and you
could hear the cats calling to each other. And so
I just always loved big cats. And then we found
instead of being Big Cat, because I didn't want to
copy Glorauga, so then it Puma and then uh you
know that. Of course later Lance Berkman uh used the
(04:08):
same nickname as well. So it was great minds think alike.
But yeah, it's it's back from childhood. It was again
getting lucky that it works for radio.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, I thought of you. I thought of you. An
old school came out because they call it what's his
name was Big Cat? They beget that made me go Sam,
your real name, Sam. I probably do not even supposed
to say that on the air.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Credit problem, I'd say it all the time. No one
can spell my last name when they hear it. Anyway,
it's confusing, even though.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
It is hard to spell, it really is. It doesn't
look anything. It's one of those names doesn't look anything
like it sounds, and you're going, there's some bowels and
then a line drawn through and then very.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Scandinavian like African mix.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Anyway over the oh.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah, uh so names of babies that came out this week,
And that was what I say about that. They they
say the new hot thing is cool cowboy names, and
I didn't know anything. I didn't know anything.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Then, first of all, I absolutely believe that, and second
of all, that's all Taylor Sheridan's fault.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Absolutely that was what I was thinking too.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
So many non country folk are watching Taylor Sheridan shows,
are watching Yellowstone, all of the spin offs, all of
everyone wants to before Cowboy.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
These days, I'm waiting for nineteen twenty three in the
War to start. I'm waiting for the Nephew to get
back and kill James Bond. I went as the crappy
James Bond, you know, the guy. Although he plays a
good bad guy better than he does, he was a
bad guy in the Rocketman or Rocket whatever that movie was.
But oh yeah, yeah, yeah, what was that movie Rocket
(05:54):
the Rocketman?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Right, yeah, yeah, I think that's right.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Anyway, So here are your top five? Uh top your
top one is Uh. I can't read writing either, Rent,
I think it's reht.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I grew up with the Rett.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
H Wyatt pretty popular. Now backing up what you said, Dutton.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
For this is all because this is all because of
Cransville's gaps own Taylor Sheridan, Yeah, Coulter, I mean all
these these kids are destined to grow up to be
like this sounds like the rodeo circuit from the late nineties.
This sounds like, you know, writing for tough Heatamn, we
(06:45):
got culture Wall.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Or yeah, out of a mulesho Texas boy culture John.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Metropolis of Millsap, Texas where they raise them different.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
All you see these when you go to the rodeo
and all these old are from these shipthles in Oklahoma
and Texas. You're like, that's all they ain't got, That's
why they wrote you over. They got nothing else to do. Uh.
And then Ace was number five. Ace. I haven't I
don't remember meeting an Ace. I come to mind is
as freely the only ACE I.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Could think of, well hardware, A hardware ACE freely is
way better than the ACE I think of. Because any
if I see a kid named Ace at at my age. Now,
if it's if it's parents that are somewhere near my
age and they're naming your kid Ace, that just tells
me they were Ace Ventura fans growing yeah, talking with
(07:38):
his butt cheeks, and it's like, really, that's what you
name your kid after.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I love that. I love those movies, though I have
to meet.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I would absolutely sit down and watch both of them
back to back right now.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I think I love the fact that Jack Nicholson a
like Oscar events and stuff like that would get him
to do stuff, you know, and and say come do my.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Speech and come handle this for me.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Now for the ladies, let's talk about the ladies' names. Uh.
They say there's a trend now this year for romantic
classy names. Number one was Olivia. You know that ducks
out we have Olivia to have one? First one comes
to my mind.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Uh, a niece named Olivia that has been born in
the last twenty four months, eighteen months.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Number two Charlotte, very Victorian yeah, like the this feels
like the men are watching Yellowstone and the women are
watching like Bridgerton or Abby whatever. That that British show.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Was Downtain Abby. I remember watching down Man. I like
that Missus what's the one blonde chick she was? I
liked her, which comes across this perv on.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I'm not sure you could pay me enough to have
the frame of reference of watching that show to know
who you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Missus eight Yeah, and I would say that it snicker.
My wife would go shut up. Emma, Emma's a popular one,
and Amelia, both of those are two of the new
female names. And then they say there's some classic names
Evelyn and Hazel. Somebody's naming their daughter Hazel.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
So that feels like the same.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I love it when modern parents because I've got I've
got a few friends that have had kids in the
last few years. And you know a lot of my
I mean, growing up country as hell up in North Texas.
You know a lot of our family names are like
Hazel or Margaret or you know, Ethel or all of
(09:47):
these old uh you know, Donna, Lourie, like all of
these old country names that they my friends are bringing
back like, I have a friend who has a daughter
named Margaret.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Now Margaret, I like Margaret Love I had.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I had an aunt Margaret that affected you know, I
wouldn't be the person I am today without the Margaret
that was in my life growing up. So I love
to hear the return of these old kind of you know,
backwoods country names.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
My dad had. My dad was one of nine in Alabama.
You know, they just they were farm kids. It's really
what they were. He just my.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Numbers up more workers.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yeah, that's all. That's about what it was. But I
had and they were all. I had a ain't uh.
Let's see, ain't uh beulah. I had an aint uh
ant uh. I'm saying, ain't but aunt uh ohmiga. And
and here's the thing that was hilarious. She came to
(10:46):
my dad's funeral and my brother, who lives in Alabama.
I don't get to go back for many of the
funerals and stuff, but my brother goes to all of
them because you know, he's just I mean, you're required to,
you know, represent the family. And my brother she was
she's like one hundred and one or two sharp as
attack came up to me and my brother and said,
(11:08):
I'm sorry about your dad. I loved your dad, you know,
and uh, and she walked off, and Tommy goes. My
brother goes, dude, I'm sure, I'm positive I went to
that woman's funeral, I know it. And it was freaking
him out. And he watched her walk out the door,
you know. And he came back and he goes, she's driving.
(11:29):
She drove here in a one hundred and two, you know,
and the old car out there. And I said, man,
I you know, you know, I don't know. But he
had brothers, Uncle Uncle Avery, Uncle Avery live in Santonio.
He called me when he moved Antonio and I would
go down and visit him. I loved Jimmy, was a
lot of fun. But there was nine brothers and sisters,
and my dad was nearly the last one that passed away.
(11:52):
But I did go to a couple other funerals.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
But I'm not sure what order I would want to
be in a in a nine sibling like, you're if
you're sibling like three through seven, you're I mean, you're
all kind of just lumped in the middle there. You
either want to be like one or two or eight
or nine.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Right. My dad was pretty low. He was like next
to the last. I think Avery was the youngest of
my dad. Jean was second. But uh he had he
was even was born an uncle. You know, his sister
already had a kid when my when my dad was born.
You know. So, uh, what is that Willie song I'm
my own grandpa?

wouldn't be the person I am today without the Margaret
that was in my life growing up. So I love
to hear the return of these old kind of you know,
backwoods country names.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
My dad had. My dad was one of nine in Alabama.
You know, they just they were farm kids. It's really
what they were. He just my.

had and they were all. I had a ain't uh.
Let's see, ain't uh beulah. I had an aint uh
ant uh. I'm saying, ain't but aunt uh ohmiga. And
and here's the thing that was hilarious. She came to
(10:46):
my dad's funeral and my brother, who lives in Alabama.
I don't get to go back for many of the
funerals and stuff, but my brother goes to all of
them because you know, he's just I mean, you're required to,
you know, represent the family. And my brother she was
she's like one hundred and one or two sharp as
attack came up to me and my brother and said,
(11:08):
I'm sorry about your dad. I loved your dad, you know,
and uh, and she walked off, and Tommy goes. My
brother goes, dude, I'm sure, I'm positive I went to
that woman's funeral, I know it. And it was freaking
him out. And he watched her walk out the door,
you know. And he came back and he goes, she's driving.
