Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey and Hattie to you. You're listening to the BAM
and Ground experience and that I heard podcast Network had
a great, solid week of good shows. I think almost
five thousand people listening. We appreciate that. Thank you so much.
Hopefully you're finding it fun and entertaining and uh not
too dirty, not too nasty. We try not to do that.
You know, we're not regulated by the FCC, but still
(00:24):
we're iehearten. We you know, sometimes we're still kind of
families type deal. Can't be on cave at for thirty
seven years and not still have that ingrained in me.
Do not cuts, do not say any of the big ones.
But I cuss all the time, So I guess it
is along with the big cat Puma. He cusses like
a sailor. Buddy. He's got his own podcast, The Sports Cave,
(00:45):
very popular sports show. How do I get that Puma? Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Well, over on the Sports Cave, we find we try
to find that healthy balance between uh, it's it's it's
really hard not to cuss sometimes when you talk about
the Cowboys, so bear bear with the during football season,
but right now it's baseball. Do nearly as much. But
anywhere you get your podcast. Just search for the sports
(01:10):
Cave with the Biggest Puma. And of course Monday Night
coming up to start the week next week. I got
the live show Monday Night on YouTube. A'ts sports Cave Live.
So hop on.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
What is Jerry Jones and doctor Billy Graham have in common.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
They're both snake oil salesmen.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
They both can get a stadium full of people to
stand up and yell Jesus.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Christ, yes, there it is there. It is not wrong.
And I think one of these is better than the other.
And it's not Billy Graham.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah. Unfortunately, I saw this and I just thought this
was crazy. This is some of the craziest shit I've heard.
Right here. Here's a woman name. Her name is actually
Carly Electric. She's a stand up comic in Australia, pretty popular, apparently.
I don't never heard of. Thirty years old, didn't know
(02:01):
anything about it. She was out filming a storm for
her podcast and she got hit by lightning. Lightning actually
struck her.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Wait, so Carly Electric is her name.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
It's not a poorn name. She's a comedian. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
You can't make this shit up. I'm telling you. Now,
here's the thing. She was paralyzed for a day, I mean,
could not move, could not talk, uh, just literally, you know.
And then she started getting her feeling back and all
that kind of stuff. But here's the crazy part. You're ready.
(02:37):
She had beautiful green eyes and they turned to brown.
After all, I can't even imagine.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Let me, let me make it. Let me confess here.
I am looking at miss Electric's eyes here because I
had a feeling with a name like Carly Electric, I
might need to look up her picture just for research purposes.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
You were looking for porn and you know it, admit it.
I know what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Car Electric tells me exactly. I had a mental image
of exactly the woman I thought we were would be
talking about, and I looked it up and I was
exactly right.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
She nailed it. You're like a detective Harmen Electric. Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Back in the day, she's kardly Electric. Uh And yeah,
I will agree with you. Beautiful green eyes now now
a little brown.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yeah. I know if I got hit by lightning, my
pants would have turned brown and cold, think of immediately.
But isn't that the craziest story. It just her eyes
or eyes is the only thing that she has permanent
from this license strike.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
That's wild. It reminds me of like you hear these
stories every now and then, where you know, someone will
hit their head and go into a coma, and then
when they come out of the coma they speak like
eleven languages or they've heard of it. Yeah, play a
piano perfectly all of a sudden, after never having touched
one or taken any lessons or anything. It feels something
(04:09):
our brain not to get to hippie dippy mushroom man here.
But there's so many things that are in our brains
that are just locked, are just turned off.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
And we only use of brain or something.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
It doesn't surprise me that having, you know, hitting your
head so hard you go into a coma, or getting
struck by lightning. It doesn't when I read those stories.
It doesn't surprise me at all that people have these
massive changes happen to them when they have traumpcifically to
the brain or yeah, I mean miss electric here her trauma.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Okay, see my head right here. I can break my
head down for you. So this part here from here
over to here.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Like a butcher.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, from a big old hunk of this big gets
hunk probably ninety percent is nothing but boobs. And then
over here on the right is see this part there's cars.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, there's there.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
It looks like like like eight percent. And then this
part back here two percent that'd be you know, family,
well one percent really family and friends. And then there's
this one percent back here that has been my job
for thirty seven years. Fortunately, though this other part kind
of guides the rest of it.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You know, it feels like, uh, you know, why why
do you want a bitching car because you want boobs?
Why do you want the job because you want like why?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You know? Like it?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
It feels like the brain. I can see how your
brain just fuels the different sections there.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I always said, I'm hard of hearing unless somebody goes
boobs and I'm like, huh, what what do you got?
You know? And and uh so, but that's not what
the whole show is about, but it could be any
given time. And then really that's what I'm thinking about.
And by the way, the man in your life, that's
what he's thinking about too, so or you know, if
he's regular.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well and judging judging by miss carly electrics promo shots
that I call, it feels like she is familiar and
understands that as well.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
She now let me point out I never saw the woman.
I just talked about it, and then of course porn
star he brought her up immediately.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
You know, again we're professionals here. That that was purely
for show research purposes.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I needed to know. I needed us to be on
the same page so cause I wanted to see I
wanted to see the change in her eyes. That was
purely the only reason.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Puma is executive producer of the of the Bama Brown Experience.
Now he won't answer her emails or anything like that
in case there's complaint. But uh, then I'm his executive
producer on the Sports Cave like every like every fifth Wednesday.
I might be on there for five minutes, but I'm
executive producer right credits. So if you're trying to figure out, now,
(06:58):
if this thing ever hits, neither one of us get
in money. You never know though you do you make
money on this? Don't you think we make these?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Again? Going back to our frugal list from earlier in
the week, I could still use to I could cut
some cut some bises out of my life to have
a little more money. But we get by. We do
just fine.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I always said that the show that I would want
to listen to is your show when you've quit cigarettes
and beer and all that and you're just talking. You'd
be wow. Mine would be if as I'm getting dementia,
you know, I'm sixty seven, you want to listen and
see how fast I go and what I was what
might come out?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
You know, listening to Reagan speeches in the eighties or
Biden like it's their content changed drastically.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Oh man, you just you felt bad for him. You know,
he's just literally when he was shaking hands with like
a flag and stuff, it.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Wasn't good, buddy. It was of course, now all the
tell all now, all the Democrats write tell all books
about how bad it actually was. Like, I don't it.
We saw. I saw how bad it was. I saw
a note to know.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I don't need your knew, you know, I knew how
it was.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
The worst case scenario for my content turning violent would
be I quit cigarettes, I quit caffeine, quit coffee, uh,
and then record a show halfway through the Cowboys season.
You talk about Billy Graham and Jenny that Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
In that movie where you know the the Storm movie
where all three tornadoes connect. You know that's what that
would be. Uh, well, that will be the day I'm
not executive producer because that didn't want to be on
CNN going. He was a quiet man. And then you know,
because then always he was a quiet man.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Never showed any signs of violence.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
No, I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I'm just as surprised does ever I said Jesus as
a as an old country poet once said, Uh, my
long hair just can't cover up my redneck sometimes exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah, I was I was going to have a cold
pop and then Jesus, I ain't got no shoes in it.
That's one of my favorite interviews of all time, so
Bobecue still one of the best.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
One of my favorite things of having the Internet now
in my life is the amount of local news stories
that I never would have seen thirty years ago that
now again are just ingrained in my head on loop.
I mean, there's every every Saint Patrick's day. I just
think of the Leprechaun.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
You see.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Everybody that's seen lept can say yeah, like I love that.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I love.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Local news is the gold mine that never ceases to
uh to provide.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
You know, I did. There was a girl here named
Deborah slat L and she was on Channel thirty six
NBC and she was doing her first MDA telethon and
she was so nervous and it was little Bow and
Bama show my partner Bow and I, uh, very you know,
it was pretty popular back then, as he went oh two,
and she said, I need somebody I know, come on
(10:22):
here and be the phone answer, you know, the select
quote celebrity phone person, and I'll come to you, you know.
And I said, yeah, come to me if you get
nervous or whatever. So I don't know if I told
you the story. Maybe maybe I hadn't, but anyway.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I'm not lady up for failure.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
She's on TV live, you know, and it's MDA deals.
She's like, they come to like local deal and she said,
all right, we got Bow and Obama here that Bama,
you're volunteering your time to answer phone. I go, well, never,
Actually I'm trying to sell my car and I have
a Camaro for sale. Yeah, sixty nine Camaro for sale
and uh yeah, just call me at the radio session
(10:59):
tomorrow if you're interested, or you can call nowon and
she goes look on her face. She was this beautiful
redhead and had white It's this pure white skin and
I didn't think she could get whiter, but the color
all went out as she was just like looked at
me and she went, but you're going to donate some
of the money to MDA your live television and I went, okay, yeah,
(11:21):
I guess, I mean, I guess, sure, I guess. So
now you know.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Mom donate like do we have is this any driver
or so?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Then the worst part of the story, it's not actually
the worst part. It's actually the good part. The guy
called the next day and bought the car. Okay, And
this is back when a sixty nine Camaro was fifteen
hundred bucks, and I gave MDA the whole fifteen hundred
because I didn't want to get muscular district. No, that's
(11:57):
my karma, was like I called him and I said,
I got bought this karma and bring a chick down
or to you, and the guy bam, you don't have
to do that. I said, no, no, I don't. This
is bad karma, man, I said. I was joking around,
but the guy didn't buy the car, and I said,
I'll just give you a donation and here you go.
You know, I don't I don't want any any trouble
at all, you know, And so even.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
If you don't believe in any of that karma, just
do it. Just do it. It's on your deathbed, uh,
save your soul, just just in case.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I always loved live TV stuff like that. I remember
we did, uh the Slatsky's bun run or there was
some charity thing the Slatsky's was behind, and I loved Slotsky.
So I'm telling this story. Uh so once again, I'm
the celebrity phone answer guy, you know with the parentheses
around celebrity because they were pretty lean celebrity. Oh yeah, okay, right,
(12:49):
but you know, people knew me around town. And so
we're there and they had they had Bobby the bun kid,
as is a kid that wore a bun us Slotsky's
bun suit. It was like foam, but it looked like
a big giant sandwich. And so he's there and they're
gonna make a check presentation. I don't think it was
I think it wasn't sponsored by slots He's he was
(13:11):
just there. They were there for some charity and so
he get they got there about thirty minutes early. And
these lights in the TV studio just will cook you man.
It's like the French Ry lights.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
So he's standing in this Slotsky's grill.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah, he's in this sandwich suit. It's hot in there.
There's somebody on either side of him, and I'm sitting
there watching and he's there about thirty minutes and then
they go live to him and they're talking and everything,
and all of a sudden, Bobby goes throws up in
the in the bunch suit, but it's open at the bottom,
(13:48):
so you hear I'm trying not to gros out, but oh no, no,
you hear this. This moment hit this tile floor. I mean,
it's just in my sports guy Scott hang time, Scott
Hayline was on the was watching. He just had to
be watching at that time. A sports guy was there,
Love Scott, you know scotting down. Oh yeah, So Scott said,
(14:08):
I'm watching the show and he said when he said
they're standing, all of a sudden Bobby goes and you
hear it hit the floor. And he said, the only
thing that I could hear after that was your hyena
laugh you I laughed it's hard, and I thought, boy,
that doesn't make you want a sandwich. That really just
that's working the opposite of what you'd want for promotion.
(14:31):
You know, No, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I guarantee you, I guarantee you. There was a guy
sitting at home watching that that night that thought, I
think I'm gonna you know this, I haven't had flat
skis in a while. I think I'm gonna I think
I'm gonna go grab a sandwich.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
And I don't think so. I think it made the
opposite of people there was. Okay, So one time we
were we were the school fundraiser for the for school
supplies and it was at McDonald's and so Bow and
I we end up doing all of this kind of stuff.
Bow and I are at the McDonald's, so we're we're
(15:07):
along with it. Must have been it must have been Fox.
Must have been seven, Channel seven, because it was Troy Kimmel.
My friend Troy Kimmel was this weather guy, the best
weather guy in the world. And so Troy's on there
and and so he's starting to talk about, you know,
he's doing the weather. But they go to Bow and
(15:28):
me on the screen behind him. So we're on the
green skis. So there's this giant Bow and Bama standing
there with our little McDonald hats on out in the
in McDonald's with a barrel for the school supplies, and
I having to look down at the monitor. The monitor
was right beside me, and Troy's talking about the weather,
and I look down and Bow smoke it a cigarette.
(15:50):
He's getting the last heater in before we go live.
So he's looking over the smoke, you know, and for
the school supply, no know, for McDonald one of the
biggest clients. And so I see the monitor and I go, oh,
ship we're on, And I hit him on the shoulder,
run we're on. But the oh ship we're on went
(16:12):
on the air behind Troy until Troy goes well. As
you may have gathered, now, Bo and Bam I are
out at the McDonald's with the school and you can
tell he's pissed. I mean he lived over you know,
first I said ship on the air, you know, which
is wrong? And across the guy smoking, so Bo puts
(16:33):
a cigarette. I don't know why he puts a cigarette
behind him and he's got a mouthful of smoke. I
mean he's like this and he's like puffed up like
a you know, like a fish. And so I'm doing
Troy said. I was going, oh yeah, we're got a
lot of girls wise and and he's starting to turn greed.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
He looked at the college freshman holding in a pong
hit so exactly.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
So, being the partner that I am, I thought, I
think I'm just going to extend this and see how
it goes. I started to d I go, well, TROYA
and I start picking out stuff out of the barrel,
and like, here's the eyes of a start of water,
you know, because he's still trying to hold it in,
and I go, look, we got pencils, we got pen
(17:17):
here's Magie Margaret, look at this. Hey, here's some erasers.
So I go on, It's thirty seconds of this and
finally bogos, this cloud of smoke goes over the fundraiser
barrel live television. Oh my god, my boss, Stand, well,
he's smoke. We like, Stand needs to see you. And
(17:39):
so we go in there and I just saw Stand
last weekending. I love that guy. Anyway, We're in his
office and he goes, what why are you? Why would
you do that?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
And then you you are.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Yeah, why are you like you are? Whyon't you do
something but yourself? And then he would go disappear. I
don't want to I don't want to see you anymore.
And I was like okay, and so I I had
to leave. You know, good content, Yeah, yeah, it's paying
off now all these stories.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
You don't get the content if you don't live the life.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
That's right. Thirty seven years of doing that kind of shit,
and we we would. There was something that always happening
those I remember it was him seeing one of them
and the guy did my in the and then Mail,
so it must have been thirty six. Mail, the producer
rest in pes Mal is a great guy. I can't
remember I was with, but he's really he's actually started
(18:31):
reading my part of the of the media and we're
live and he's in and so Mail goes Phil. I'm like, Phil,
with what it's a fundraiser, you know, I go and
I'm not a TV anchors. I'm like, well, you're so
right there, Carl or whoever you are. Yeah, we're uh
(18:51):
so like you said, you know now I'm back just repeating, repeat, Yeah, yeah,
this dude just said. I was like, I hate the monitor. Man,
don't steal my thunder do your own work.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
God.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
So that's enough of that. You know, I have one
hundred stories and I'll tell them over the years and
get them from Booma as well.
Speaker 2 (19:08):

You were looking for porn and you know it, admit it.
I know what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Car Electric tells me exactly. I had a mental image
of exactly the woman I thought we were would be
talking about, and I looked it up and I was
exactly right.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Okay, see my head right here. I can break my
head down for you. So this part here from here
over to here.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Like a butcher.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, from a big old hunk of this big gets
hunk probably ninety percent is nothing but boobs. And then
over here on the right is see this part there's cars.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, there's there.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
It looks like like like eight percent. And then this
part back here two percent that'd be you know, family,
well one percent really family and friends. And then there's
this one percent back here that has been my job
for thirty seven years. Fortunately, though this other part kind
of guides the rest of it.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You know, it feels like, uh, you know, why why
do you want a bitching car because you want boobs?
Why do you want the job because you want like why?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You know? Like it?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
It feels like the brain. I can see how your
brain just fuels the different sections there.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I always said, I'm hard of hearing unless somebody goes
boobs and I'm like, huh, what what do you got?
You know? And and uh so, but that's not what
the whole show is about, but it could be any
given time. And then really that's what I'm thinking about.
And by the way, the man in your life, that's
what he's thinking about too, so or you know, if
he's regular.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well and judging judging by miss carly electrics promo shots
that I call, it feels like she is familiar and
understands that as well.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
She now let me point out I never saw the woman.
I just talked about it, and then of course porn
star he brought her up immediately.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
You know, again we're professionals here. That that was purely
for show research purposes.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I needed to know. I needed us to be on
the same page so cause I wanted to see I
wanted to see the change in her eyes. That was
purely the only reason.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Puma is executive producer of the of the Bama Brown Experience.
Now he won't answer her emails or anything like that
in case there's complaint. But uh, then I'm his executive
producer on the Sports Cave like every like every fifth Wednesday.
I might be on there for five minutes, but I'm
executive producer right credits. So if you're trying to figure out, now,
(06:58):
if this thing ever hits, neither one of us get
in money. You never know though you do you make
money on this? Don't you think we make these?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Again? Going back to our frugal list from earlier in
the week, I could still use to I could cut
some cut some bises out of my life to have
a little more money. But we get by. We do
just fine.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I always said that the show that I would want
to listen to is your show when you've quit cigarettes
and beer and all that and you're just talking. You'd
be wow. Mine would be if as I'm getting dementia,
you know, I'm sixty seven, you want to listen and
see how fast I go and what I was what
might come out?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
You know, listening to Reagan speeches in the eighties or
Biden like it's their content changed drastically.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Oh man, you just you felt bad for him. You know,
he's just literally when he was shaking hands with like
a flag and stuff, it.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Wasn't good, buddy. It was of course, now all the
tell all now, all the Democrats write tell all books
about how bad it actually was. Like, I don't it.
We saw. I saw how bad it was. I saw
a note to know.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I don't need your knew, you know, I knew how
it was.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
The worst case scenario for my content turning violent would
be I quit cigarettes, I quit caffeine, quit coffee, uh,
and then record a show halfway through the Cowboys season.
You talk about Billy Graham and Jenny that Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
In that movie where you know the the Storm movie
where all three tornadoes connect. You know that's what that
would be. Uh, well, that will be the day I'm
not executive producer because that didn't want to be on
CNN going. He was a quiet man. And then you know,
because then always he was a quiet man.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Never showed any signs of violence.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
No, I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I'm just as surprised does ever I said Jesus as
a as an old country poet once said, Uh, my
long hair just can't cover up my redneck sometimes exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah, I was I was going to have a cold
pop and then Jesus, I ain't got no shoes in it.
That's one of my favorite interviews of all time, so
Bobecue still one of the best.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
One of my favorite things of having the Internet now
in my life is the amount of local news stories
that I never would have seen thirty years ago that
now again are just ingrained in my head on loop.
I mean, there's every every Saint Patrick's day. I just
think of the Leprechaun.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
You see.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Everybody that's seen lept can say yeah, like I love that.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I love.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Local news is the gold mine that never ceases to
uh to provide.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
You know, I did. There was a girl here named
Deborah slat L and she was on Channel thirty six
NBC and she was doing her first MDA telethon and
she was so nervous and it was little Bow and
Bama show my partner Bow and I, uh, very you know,
it was pretty popular back then, as he went oh two,
and she said, I need somebody I know, come on
(10:22):
here and be the phone answer, you know, the select
quote celebrity phone person, and I'll come to you, you know.
And I said, yeah, come to me if you get
nervous or whatever. So I don't know if I told
you the story. Maybe maybe I hadn't, but anyway.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I'm not lady up for failure.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
She's on TV live, you know, and it's MDA deals.
She's like, they come to like local deal and she said,
all right, we got Bow and Obama here that Bama,
you're volunteering your time to answer phone. I go, well, never,
Actually I'm trying to sell my car and I have
a Camaro for sale. Yeah, sixty nine Camaro for sale
and uh yeah, just call me at the radio session
(10:59):
tomorrow if you're interested, or you can call nowon and
she goes look on her face. She was this beautiful
redhead and had white It's this pure white skin and
I didn't think she could get whiter, but the color
all went out as she was just like looked at
me and she went, but you're going to donate some
of the money to MDA your live television and I went, okay, yeah,
(11:21):
I guess, I mean, I guess, sure, I guess. So
now you know.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Mom donate like do we have is this any driver
or so?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Then the worst part of the story, it's not actually
the worst part. It's actually the good part. The guy
called the next day and bought the car. Okay, And
this is back when a sixty nine Camaro was fifteen
hundred bucks, and I gave MDA the whole fifteen hundred
because I didn't want to get muscular district. No, that's
(11:57):
my karma, was like I called him and I said,
I got bought this karma and bring a chick down
or to you, and the guy bam, you don't have
to do that. I said, no, no, I don't. This
is bad karma, man, I said. I was joking around,
but the guy didn't buy the car, and I said,
I'll just give you a donation and here you go.
You know, I don't I don't want any any trouble
at all, you know, And so even.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
If you don't believe in any of that karma, just
do it. Just do it. It's on your deathbed, uh,
save your soul, just just in case.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I always loved live TV stuff like that. I remember
we did, uh the Slatsky's bun run or there was
some charity thing the Slatsky's was behind, and I loved Slotsky.
So I'm telling this story. Uh so once again, I'm
the celebrity phone answer guy, you know with the parentheses
around celebrity because they were pretty lean celebrity. Oh yeah, okay, right,
(12:49):
but you know, people knew me around town. And so
we're there and they had they had Bobby the bun kid,
as is a kid that wore a bun us Slotsky's
bun suit. It was like foam, but it looked like
a big giant sandwich. And so he's there and they're
gonna make a check presentation. I don't think it was
I think it wasn't sponsored by slots He's he was
(13:11):
just there. They were there for some charity and so
he get they got there about thirty minutes early. And
these lights in the TV studio just will cook you man.
It's like the French Ry lights.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
So he's standing in this Slotsky's grill.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah, he's in this sandwich suit. It's hot in there.
There's somebody on either side of him, and I'm sitting
there watching and he's there about thirty minutes and then
they go live to him and they're talking and everything,
and all of a sudden, Bobby goes throws up in
the in the bunch suit, but it's open at the bottom,
(13:48):
so you hear I'm trying not to gros out, but oh no, no,
you hear this. This moment hit this tile floor. I mean,
it's just in my sports guy Scott hang time, Scott
Hayline was on the was watching. He just had to
be watching at that time. A sports guy was there,
Love Scott, you know scotting down. Oh yeah, So Scott said,
(14:08):
I'm watching the show and he said when he said
they're standing, all of a sudden Bobby goes and you
hear it hit the floor. And he said, the only
thing that I could hear after that was your hyena
laugh you I laughed it's hard, and I thought, boy,
that doesn't make you want a sandwich. That really just
that's working the opposite of what you'd want for promotion.
(14:31):
You know, No, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I guarantee you, I guarantee you. There was a guy
sitting at home watching that that night that thought, I
think I'm gonna you know this, I haven't had flat
skis in a while. I think I'm gonna I think
I'm gonna go grab a sandwich.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
And I don't think so. I think it made the
opposite of people there was. Okay, So one time we
were we were the school fundraiser for the for school
supplies and it was at McDonald's and so Bow and
I we end up doing all of this kind of stuff.
Bow and I are at the McDonald's, so we're we're
(15:07):
along with it. Must have been it must have been Fox.
Must have been seven, Channel seven, because it was Troy Kimmel.
My friend Troy Kimmel was this weather guy, the best
weather guy in the world. And so Troy's on there
and and so he's starting to talk about, you know,
he's doing the weather. But they go to Bow and
(15:28):
me on the screen behind him. So we're on the
green skis. So there's this giant Bow and Bama standing
there with our little McDonald hats on out in the
in McDonald's with a barrel for the school supplies, and
I having to look down at the monitor. The monitor
was right beside me, and Troy's talking about the weather,
and I look down and Bow smoke it a cigarette.
(15:50):
He's getting the last heater in before we go live.
So he's looking over the smoke, you know, and for
the school supply, no know, for McDonald one of the
biggest clients. And so I see the monitor and I go, oh,
ship we're on, And I hit him on the shoulder,
run we're on. But the oh ship we're on went
(16:12):
on the air behind Troy until Troy goes well. As
you may have gathered, now, Bo and Bam I are
out at the McDonald's with the school and you can
tell he's pissed. I mean he lived over you know,
first I said ship on the air, you know, which
is wrong? And across the guy smoking, so Bo puts
(16:33):
a cigarette. I don't know why he puts a cigarette
behind him and he's got a mouthful of smoke. I
mean he's like this and he's like puffed up like
a you know, like a fish. And so I'm doing
Troy said. I was going, oh yeah, we're got a
lot of girls wise and and he's starting to turn greed.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
He looked at the college freshman holding in a pong
hit so exactly.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
So, being the partner that I am, I thought, I
think I'm just going to extend this and see how
it goes. I started to d I go, well, TROYA
and I start picking out stuff out of the barrel,
and like, here's the eyes of a start of water,
you know, because he's still trying to hold it in,
and I go, look, we got pencils, we got pen
(17:17):
here's Magie Margaret, look at this. Hey, here's some erasers.
So I go on, It's thirty seconds of this and
finally bogos, this cloud of smoke goes over the fundraiser
barrel live television. Oh my god, my boss, Stand, well,
he's smoke. We like, Stand needs to see you. And
(17:39):
so we go in there and I just saw Stand
last weekending. I love that guy. Anyway, We're in his
office and he goes, what why are you? Why would
you do that?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
And then you you are.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Yeah, why are you like you are? Whyon't you do
something but yourself? And then he would go disappear. I
don't want to I don't want to see you anymore.
And I was like okay, and so I I had
to leave. You know, good content, Yeah, yeah, it's paying
off now all these stories.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
You don't get the content if you don't live the life.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
That's right. Thirty seven years of doing that kind of shit,
and we we would. There was something that always happening
those I remember it was him seeing one of them
and the guy did my in the and then Mail,
so it must have been thirty six. Mail, the producer
rest in pes Mal is a great guy. I can't
remember I was with, but he's really he's actually started
(18:31):
reading my part of the of the media and we're
live and he's in and so Mail goes Phil. I'm like, Phil,
with what it's a fundraiser, you know, I go and
I'm not a TV anchors. I'm like, well, you're so
right there, Carl or whoever you are. Yeah, we're uh
(18:51):
so like you said, you know now I'm back just repeating, repeat, Yeah, yeah,
this dude just said. I was like, I hate the monitor. Man,
don't steal my thunder do your own work.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
God.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
So that's enough of that. You know, I have one
hundred stories and I'll tell them over the years and
get them from Booma as well.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yet one hundred more episodes at least then.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Yeah, well we'll see about that. I'm sure somebody somewhere
is debating that as we speak.

little while anyway. It's UH on the iHeart podcast network
