Speaker 1 (00:03):
Well, hello, you're listening to the Bama Brown Experience on
the iHeart podcast Network. Thank you for listening to us.
You've got the big Cat, the Big Puma from San Antonio,
from the Sports Cave. I talked Puma into helping me
with my podcast, so he is an expert and been
doing it so many years. Hopefully some of his audiences
joining us, and hopefully some of our Austin audiences have
(00:24):
been tuning into your deal the Sports Cave. How do
they get that, by the way.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Super easy, as always anywhere you get your podcasts, just
give it a search for the Sports.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Cave with Biggest Puma.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
And you mentioned the Austin audience and San Antonio audience.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Potential crossover there.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
You know, last week we had the Spurs playing the
games in Austin, sellout crowds. Unfortunately, now the news of
Wimby's blood clot with him out the rest of the season.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
But as the years go by.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
We're only going to become more and more interconnected between
the two markets here, and I like to think that
you and I are trail blazers of sorts here help
doing our part to combine to form the South Texas Metroplex.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
No, I know that they keep talking about at some
point when they grow together, we'll have a football team.
That would be a lot of a lot of odd.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Jerry will Jerry will never allow that. Let's focus on baseball.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Let's let's try to get a baseball team that feels
like the most practical.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
That that could possibly that really could possibly happen, right,
I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
That's yeah, And if if that, if that ever did happen,
I would be in a really really uncomfortable position of like,
I'm a Texas Ranger. You know, doctor Pepper junior kid,
I grew up. You know, the Rangers were my babysitter
right summer, So I'd be torn between the two if
(01:54):
we ever got a baseball team, But you can bet
your ass I'd be there probably three nights a week
if they exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
That would be so much fun. To have a pro
team like that would be nice. Okay, So I saw this,
This was I love this kind of stuff. I think
Puma does too, So that's why I like doing it.
Uh when they have cool history pieces come up for
sale at auction. Oh and I'm like, okay, I don't.
I watched this whole thing. The other day about the
(02:21):
fake uh Picasso or rembrand whatever, who is it that
did the who did the woman? What's her name? The
one is smiling?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, so that's that was uh da Vinci, right, that's
da Vinci, right that I saw. I watched the thing
on there where a guy was buying a fake Da Vinci.
They think of the Saudi prince paid four hundred million
dollars for that, and uh, they're not even sure it
was real, you know. But then he had just bought
a four hundred million dollar yacht, so I feel sorry
(02:54):
for him.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
You know, four hundred million dollars to him is like
a cup of It's like the cup of coffee I
just bought this morning.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I mean, that's nothing. That's loose change in his pocket.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, because it's he's just you know, he's the he's
the head of Saudi Arabia. Now he's the king of
Saudi Arabia or the Sheic or whatever it is. Anyway,
I saw this because this was pretty cool. There was
a letter, an actual letter from George Washington, your first president.
It was written during the Revolutionary War, and it's coming
up for auction and they think it'll go for about
(03:25):
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and they said, there's
quite a few people interested in that. I thought it
would be more than that.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah, I mean that seems low it.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
You know, you a babe Ruth Jockstrap would sell for
more than that. I guess that tells you what we
value as a society.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
But right, yeah, so your president. Somebody got me a
George General George Patten autograph one time, and I was
like for my birthday, and I went, well, that's pretty awesome,
but that's not the actual General Patten. That's his that's
his grandson who was also a general and went by
(04:02):
a General George Patt. They paid fifteen bucks for this
autograph and they felt like, I said, no, an actual
General George Patten from World War Two who was killed
at the end of World War Two in an automobile accident.
Those bring about ten thousand dollars. I said, I just
but no, I said, I'm not knocking it. I'm not
trying to, but I'm just telling you. And they were
(04:23):
so and I was trying. I didn't want them to.
I want them to know they got ripped off, but
not at the I said, I I think this is
a great present because people know I'm crazy about Patton,
you know, and everything. But I like that that's that's
you got. You got cheated. And the guy never did
tell him, well, it's his grandson, or he wouldn't have
bought it, you know, so.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
At least it was only fifteen dollars down the drain.
I mean, I think that that probably could have been
your first red flag that this might not be the
general patent.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
It came with a letter of authenticity, however, so that
made sure it was real. You know, Yeah, you think
that's hard to print that up.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I was about to say, I always questioned, you know,
anytime we have these, you know, heritage auctions or historical
idel auctions, I always question the letter of authenticity because
on some of this, like how how could you possibly
how could you possibly know this is the exact shirt
that Abraham Lincoln wore that night in the theater, Like,
(05:25):
how do you know?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You don't know that? See, a friend of mine has
a I think it was an Atlanta journal that had
when Lincoln was shot, and it was encased in glass,
was hanging on their wall, and it was real. It
was a real I've got actually on my wall. I've
got a November twenty second, nineteen sixty three. Kennedy's arriving
(05:50):
that day in town. I've got a front page for
where he's you know, gives his schedule and and all
the things he's going to, the trademark he's doing, all
these things gonna end up. He actually was a lot
of people know this. Kennedy was going to speak that
night in Austin over there at the at the Center
on the Long Center over on the Lake. And you
(06:10):
still occasionally will somebody will have tickets to that thing.
I've seen several several old timers that were going to
go to that to that event that night. But he
started San Antonio, went up to Dallas, and then he
was going to end up back in Austin for that event,
you know, for the tragedy happened. But I have a
newspaper because it was interesting to me. My buddy had
(06:30):
this front page that his parents had kept, and you know,
it was talking about everything he was trying to get
done and what he was you know, they were hoping
it would have a nice reception pre assassination. But it
was on that date, so that was that's interesting that
it was the same date. But anyway, I gave fifty
bucks for it. I bought it for my buddy from
(06:50):
fifty He wasn't just give it to me, but I went, man,
that's kind of value. Let me give you some cash
for that.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, that feels like a fair trade. You know, the
Kennedy one you mentioned and his you know, his time
in San Antonio right before. That always cracks me up
when you have some kind of like really poignant memorial
right in the middle of a strip mall or you
know what has now become a retail center or like
(07:17):
a Walmart parking lot like you have, you know, up
in my old neck of the woods up in DFW,
there's a you know, there's a nine to eleven memorial,
like in the parking lot of a.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Pizza hut, random stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
So here here in San Antonio, uh, there is a
you know, a really nice memorial dedication marker uh for JFK.
You know, at one of the events he did in
San Antonio before you left to go to Dallas. But
it's right next to a hair salon, a hair and
nail salon, and.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
A coffee shop. It's a coffee shop.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I frequent often, so I go get my coffee and
then I just I just kind of sit.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
There and think, like, is.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
This, yeah, is this necessarily.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
The best way to remember you?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Could we do something? I mean more than you know something, I.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Serve the space next to it. So it's not you know,
a bunch of house frowl getting their nail and hair
done to this somber memorial we have.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, I see. I just I love San Antonio too.
I love Austin courts, but I love saying it lived
in Austin thirty seven years. But not too long ago,
I guess was It was the summer before last A
buddy and me went to San Antonio to look at
a junk car that was a pretty rare car, actually
a charger that was left out in the field. And
(08:43):
we're going down this path and this guy that's from
San Antonio that on the land. As we're going down
this path, he goes, it is a two lane just
basically dirt road, just a path between the mesquite you know,
it's real flat there, and he said, this is the
path He turned onund and he said, did you know this?
This is the path that Santa Anna took to get
(09:06):
to the Alamo. When he was coming to get to
the Alamo. We were south of San Antonio, and I said,
no kidding, and he goes, yeah, he said, over thirty five,
there's a plaque where it starts, and then it followed
and where we were at was way further west.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
And of course the car turned out to be jumped,
but we didn't bite it. But it was kind of
cool to see this thing. And then there was a
little town along this path. They didn't even have a
name for the town anymore there, and it was the
jail was all ruins. It was just a rock building
that had the you know, used to be a jail.
And then there was a courthouse in there somewhere that
you could see from the road, but you really didn't
(09:42):
want to get down in there. It was all growed
up and nasty. But uh, it's interesting to me when
you see stuff like that. You know, they had a
plaque on the interstate path that Santa Anna took to
the Alamo, you know, and you go, man, I mean
in middle of nowhere is the middle of literally nowhere, crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
San Antonio, you know, it's got some weird spots like that.
The other night we were driving to the south side
to grab some Chinese food. Shout out Silver Star Cafe,
best Chinese street in San Antonio, and I'll expect my
check in the mail.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
But now we were.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Driving down and instead of using the highways, you know,
I prefer to just putts on city streets. And so
we're cruising by, you know, it's eight o'clock, eight thirty
at night, and just driving down the old Elkal past
the missions right there in the in the middle of everything.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
And you know, Steph, you.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Know, my wife roommate talked about how when she was
in Italy and driving through Rome and you know, you're
on a twelve lane massive interstate, but right next to
the interstate is the Colisseum and it's it's insane to
think about the you know, the the position of the
(11:01):
historical structure right next to the modern world. And here
in you know, San Antonio, outside of random interstate placards,
you know, they have done a great job of not
just preserving the missions themselves, but preserving the area around it,
so it doesn't feel, you know, like when you drive
past them, you still kind of feel like you're coming
(11:25):
upon them as you would have in a in a
Chuck Wagon or you know, on horseback.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I have got to tell you this story. I'm gonna
tell it tomorrow, so you want to you want to
tune in tomorrow hear this story. I was almost caught
up in a scam with that whole deal with the missions.
I gotta tell you this is the craziest story you've
ever heard in your life. Tomorrow, and I'm not you
and Pumon tell you. I don't over sell these stories,
but this is funny. The whole show will be tomorrow
(11:53):
about this story, and I'll tell it to you. Uh.
I was just I was sitting there thinking about I
had one more about the about the Alamo. When we
were there, there was a guard there and I was
sitting there and a guy came up and said, where
where is the basement? You know from the from the movie,
and uh and and of course he tells you sort
of that it's a movie that was a pee wee
(12:15):
Herman movie as no basement. And I asked the guard,
I said, do you I can't believe some we he's
still doing it. He goes, I get one a day
to this.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
It's only one.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I said, I'll he said, I'll get one every day.
I've gotten one every day my entire career. Here someone
will come up and want to know where the where
the basement is, and it's just what a great thing
to have, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I don't think there's any way, uh, the people involved
with creating the pee wee Herman character and movies ever
thought they would have this amount of social importance years later.
I mean, it's still again, I'm surprised he only gets
one a day.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I quote stuff from that movie all the time. I
just that was one of the funniest to me, one
of the funniest. The first time you see it, you
don't really you don't get it, But the second time
you watn't. I got a lot of that stuff work well.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
The first time I watched a large Marge scared the
hell out of it.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
You were as a cry young Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
And then a few times later, as I watched it
in my early twenties in college, possibly on performance enhancing substances,
it all made a lot more sense.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Oh, and it was so funny. My favorite scene in
that whole movie is when he's on the phone in
that biker bar and they're making so much noise and
he goes, I'm trying to use the phone. All right,
that's that's stupid. We can talk about ever. All right,
you're listening to the Mamma Brown Experience. Tune in tomorrow
(13:47):
and I'll tell you this story. You're you're gonna love
to hear the story tomorrow on the Mama Brown Experience
on the iHeart Podcast
Well, hello, you're listening to the Bama Brown Experience on
the iHeart podcast Network. Thank you for listening to us.
You've got the big Cat, the Big Puma from San Antonio,
from the Sports Cave. I talked Puma into helping me

doing it so many years. Hopefully some of his audiences
joining us, and hopefully some of our Austin audiences have
(00:24):
been tuning into your deal the Sports Cave. How do
they get that, by the way.

Super easy, as always anywhere you get your podcasts, just

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Cave with Biggest Puma.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
And you mentioned the Austin audience and San Antonio audience.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Potential crossover there.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
You know, last week we had the Spurs playing the
games in Austin, sellout crowds. Unfortunately, now the news of
Wimby's blood clot with him out the rest of the season.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
But as the years go by.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
We're only going to become more and more interconnected between

you and I are trail blazers of sorts here help

Speaker 1 (01:11):
No, I know that they keep talking about at some

That would be a lot of a lot of odd.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
That that could possibly that really could possibly happen, right,
I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
That's yeah, And if if that, if that ever did happen,
I would be in a really really uncomfortable position of like,
I'm a Texas Ranger. You know, doctor Pepper junior kid,
I grew up. You know, the Rangers were my babysitter
right summer, So I'd be torn between the two if
(01:54):
we ever got a baseball team, But you can bet
your ass I'd be there probably three nights a week
if they exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
That would be so much fun. To have a pro
team like that would be nice. Okay, So I saw this,
This was I love this kind of stuff. I think
Puma does too, So that's why I like doing it.
Uh when they have cool history pieces come up for
sale at auction. Oh and I'm like, okay, I don't.
I watched this whole thing. The other day about the
(02:21):
fake uh Picasso or rembrand whatever, who is it that
did the who did the woman? What's her name? The
one is smiling?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, so that's that was uh da Vinci, right, that's
da Vinci, right that I saw. I watched the thing
on there where a guy was buying a fake Da Vinci.
They think of the Saudi prince paid four hundred million
dollars for that, and uh, they're not even sure it
was real, you know. But then he had just bought
a four hundred million dollar yacht, so I feel sorry
(02:54):
for him.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
You know, four hundred million dollars to him is like
a cup of It's like the cup of coffee I
just bought this morning.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I mean, that's nothing. That's loose change in his pocket.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, because it's he's just you know, he's the he's
the head of Saudi Arabia. Now he's the king of
Saudi Arabia or the Sheic or whatever it is. Anyway,
I saw this because this was pretty cool. There was
a letter, an actual letter from George Washington, your first president.
It was written during the Revolutionary War, and it's coming
up for auction and they think it'll go for about
(03:25):
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and they said, there's
quite a few people interested in that. I thought it
would be more than that.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah, I mean that seems low it.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
You know, you a babe Ruth Jockstrap would sell for

the Alamo. We were south of San Antonio, and I said,
no kidding, and he goes, yeah, he said, over thirty five,
there's a plaque where it starts, and then it followed
and where we were at was way further west.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
And of course the car turned out to be jumped,
but we didn't bite it. But it was kind of
cool to see this thing. And then there was a
little town along this path. They didn't even have a
name for the town anymore there, and it was the
jail was all ruins. It was just a rock building
that had the you know, used to be a jail.
And then there was a courthouse in there somewhere that
you could see from the road, but you really didn't
(09:42):
want to get down in there. It was all growed
up and nasty. But uh, it's interesting to me when
you see stuff like that. You know, they had a
plaque on the interstate path that Santa Anna took to
the Alamo, you know, and you go, man, I mean
in middle of nowhere is the middle of literally nowhere, crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
San Antonio, you know, it's got some weird spots like that.
The other night we were driving to the south side
to grab some Chinese food. Shout out Silver Star Cafe,
best Chinese street in San Antonio, and I'll expect my
check in the mail.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
But now we were.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Driving down and instead of using the highways, you know,
I prefer to just putts on city streets. And so
we're cruising by, you know, it's eight o'clock, eight thirty
at night, and just driving down the old Elkal past
the missions right there in the in the middle of everything.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
And you know, Steph, you.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Know, my wife roommate talked about how when she was
in Italy and driving through Rome and you know, you're
on a twelve lane massive interstate, but right next to
the interstate is the Colisseum and it's it's insane to
think about the you know, the the position of the
(11:01):
historical structure right next to the modern world. And here
in you know, San Antonio, outside of random interstate placards,
you know, they have done a great job of not
just preserving the missions themselves, but preserving the area around it,
so it doesn't feel, you know, like when you drive
past them, you still kind of feel like you're coming
(11:25):
upon them as you would have in a in a
Chuck Wagon or you know, on horseback.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I have got to tell you this story. I'm gonna
tell it tomorrow, so you want to you want to
tune in tomorrow hear this story. I was almost caught
up in a scam with that whole deal with the missions.
I gotta tell you this is the craziest story you've
ever heard in your life. Tomorrow, and I'm not you
and Pumon tell you. I don't over sell these stories,
but this is funny. The whole show will be tomorrow
(11:53):
about this story, and I'll tell it to you. Uh.
I was just I was sitting there thinking about I
had one more about the about the Alamo. When we
were there, there was a guard there and I was
sitting there and a guy came up and said, where
where is the basement? You know from the from the movie,
and uh and and of course he tells you sort
of that it's a movie that was a pee wee
(12:15):
Herman movie as no basement. And I asked the guard,
I said, do you I can't believe some we he's
still doing it. He goes, I get one a day
to this.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
It's only one.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I said, I'll he said, I'll get one every day.
I've gotten one every day my entire career. Here someone
will come up and want to know where the where
the basement is, and it's just what a great thing
to have, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I don't think there's any way, uh, the people involved
with creating the pee wee Herman character and movies ever
thought they would have this amount of social importance years later.
I mean, it's still again, I'm surprised he only gets
one a day.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I quote stuff from that movie all the time. I
just that was one of the funniest to me, one
of the funniest. The first time you see it, you
don't really you don't get it, But the second time
you watn't. I got a lot of that stuff work well.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
The first time I watched a large Marge scared the
hell out of it.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
You were as a cry young Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
And then a few times later, as I watched it
in my early twenties in college, possibly on performance enhancing substances,
it all made a lot more sense.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Oh, and it was so funny. My favorite scene in
that whole movie is when he's on the phone in
that biker bar and they're making so much noise and
he goes, I'm trying to use the phone. All right,
that's that's stupid. We can talk about ever. All right,
you're listening to the Mamma Brown Experience. Tune in tomorrow
(13:47):
and I'll tell you this story. You're you're gonna love
to hear the story tomorrow on the Mama Brown Experience
