Speaker 1 (00:03):
Well, hey and atie to you, Mamma Brown experience on
the iHeart Podcast Network. The podcast really has no direction
and no real script and no listeners. No we have.
We've actually got thousands of listeners, which I think is
a reflection on you guys, not on what we're doing here.
I think that's more on y'all. We're gonna have a
silly show today because I got one is right up
(00:24):
your alley. Yeah, you got the Big Puma, the Big Cat,
my producer slash co host and then we flip those
roles when we do a sports show. But how do
I get this incredible Sports Cave show?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Oh of course.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Anywhere you get your podcasts, just search for the Sports
Cave with Biggest Puma. And if you can't get enough
of it, if you need more than the audio, if
you need the visual evidence that we do exist and
aren't disembodied AI voices. We go live every Monday night
on YouTube at Sports Cave Live and then that gets
(01:00):
turned into the audio version of the podcast. So anywhere
you get your podcast, just search for sports the Sports
Cave with the Biggest Puma.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Thousands of folks are doing it. You need to do
it too. All right. So I know a secret about Pooma.
I'm gonna tell in a minute, But first I got
a joke for you. Somebody said I didn't tell a
joke last week, so I'll start one this morning. Uh
So this lady had twins. Oh, this is so bad,
This is just so awful.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yea, that's that's a rough start.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
This lady had twins and one of them was named
One and the other one was named Jamal. And now
she only carried one picture with her, you know, because
they're twins. Cause if you see Juan, you've seen Jamal. Okay,
I told you all this show is free.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
How do you expect me to recover to do a
full episode? That the bill has to be the ender
because my wheels are completely shot off.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Now you've lost the will to live from all right,
So I'll make up for it right now because I
know something a secret about you that you have on
a lot of your stuff there at the house. I
think their roommate is responsible for a lot of it.
But they are wanting to put up on the trains
in New Jersey, and they got a lot of trains
(02:16):
up there, a lot of commuter trains. They're wanting to
put googly eyes on the front of the trains. That's
a bill that was actually introduced.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
That's government money well spent, as far as I'm concerned,
why they want.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
They've had several people, believe it or not, volunteer to
pay for it. They go, it won't even be taxpayer money.
I'll pay to have the googly eyes painted on the
front of the trains. They've had several people to Boston
did it. The Boston has already done it, and they
said that people it gets funny, and they said it
seems to make the people that have to transit every
(02:51):
morning on a train. You know a lot of people
they do that up north and the Northeast, they do
the commuter trains. They said it just makes people more
relaxed and more fine. They said, we actually don't have
a survey that can prove that, but they said it
just the people on the trains, the different folks that
work the trains, said that it just seems like people
are in a better mood and laughing about it. And
(03:12):
they talk about it. You know, they're in the googly
eye trains and all that they're doing, all of them
in Boston and New Jersey, said hey, stay wide, we
may want to do it.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I mean, it makes sense without having any empirical data.
If you told me I have to do a Northeastern
commute by train to get into the city every morning
to work. But every morning when I see that train,
it's going to have big, goofy googly eyes on it.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah, that would absolutely lift my spirits daily.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Even if it's just the slightest chuckle, that's.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
More than the t started off.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
You know, Yeah, there's nothing wrong with google eyes. I stole.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
So we you mentioned we have googly eyes all over
our house. If people can see right now our you know,
I'm in my uh my office recording room here, and
all of our plants, all of the pots have googly
eyes on them. I got the idea. There was a
Christopher Walk in snl Bit probably twenty years ago. It
(04:18):
was whenever I was in college in the early two thousands,
and he is a gardener who has put googly eyes
on all of his plants.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And so it's it's Christopher Walking being all.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Serious and he's like, oh, look at look at this plant.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
He's looking at me all wrong. It's a giant fern,
you know.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
And so I just the comical nature of putting googly
eyes on random crap like it it absolutely if you haven't,
if you think it's ridiculous, just put it on one
of your potted plants, and every time you walk past
it in your house or on your patio or wherever
make you, you're gonna laugh a little bit, whether you
(04:56):
chuckle out loud or if it's just in your own head,
it's going to slightly make you feel better.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
And it's so cheap. Also, if you're the rich guy,
like this is what I would do. If I was rich,
I would do bits like this.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I would contact every state and tell him I will
put eyes on your trains like that would be I
would feel like that would be a good use of my,
uh im moral wealth.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
If I was that rich, Well, let's.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Hope you make a kind of money and you're gonna
need a driver. Remember that I'll drive you around and
that'd be funny.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
You were talking about Christopher walk and I saw a
video a deal with him the other interview with him,
uh And it was funny because he said he every
movie he does with every co star he does, when
it's like the first scene he tells him it's his birthday.
Today is my birthday, and they goes, is that true?
He goes, yeah, he said, I always do that because
(05:53):
nobody will be mean to you on your birthday.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
That's not that's a man for a while.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Well, yeah, that's a man who is really really figured
out the way to uh make his already incredibly easy
life easier somehow.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah. So I thought that was pretty smart. But I
love Christopher walking everything. He's there and everybody does that impression.
My daughter was doing it the other day and I can't.
I've done it so much, I can't even remember how
to do it anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I wouldn't even start to.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Uh, I wouldn't even I feel like impressions like that
where everyone like Harry Carey is another one the old
everyone has one, and everyone is doing a caricature of
Will Ferrell's caricature of Harry, so like we're getting like
five levels of separation from the original voice.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
I wouldn't even dare attempt it.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
All right, here's Christopher walking too mice, that's not even
too mice.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
On Connery for a second.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
One word impressions? All right, you're ready for my Robert Wagner?
Are you ready for this? Beautiful. That's Robert Wagner dead
on man.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I'm telling a good bit one word impersonations that would
be I would that almost feels like a professional stand
up bit like this.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
The one word.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, I see Uh, I see one of the judges going,
you nobody gonna pay for this ship. You won't see that.
Nobody's gonna go to Vegas going I got to see
Bama who his one word impression?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
You might have a small audience.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
You did see a comediant one time he did he goes.
You'll know this actor from one word. I'll do one word.
You'll know who this guy is. Good banners, wat's his face? Gay?
(07:53):
He kills her? Buddy, the you know the He's done
the same movie ten times and he just edited to
cut it up. What's his name? The guy? I can't
think of his name. I do an impression and I
can't think of the guy's name now. Anyway, you'll think
of it later. Everybody will yell in the car, what's
his name? Uh? But that was my he said from
(08:16):
one work bans. I can't think of who it is. Uh. Anyway,
obviously this show isn't planned. There's no script. I'm I'm
I'm because he was in He did a cameo in
TED two about himself from the Taking movies. What's his name? Liam?
(08:41):
Close your eyes? Not if you're driving, you're driving, okay,
so where we are just close yours pretty Yes, that's bond,
that's true. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Now Sean is back in the.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Liam Neeson in the news recently for apparently rebooting the
Naked Gun film series.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
You heard that that will be TED two where he
made so much fun of himself with the Lucky Charms, and.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
That's where that must be where the idea begins.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
What's his name?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
It's it's uh, Seth MacFarlane that's doing the Nicked Gun.
So it feels like it feels like immediately Seth MacFarlane
might have realized that Liam Neeson could make enough fun
of himself to do slapstick humor. As Frank Dreben Police.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I love Police Squad when I was a kid. That
was funny. Didn't even have a laugh track, You just laughed,
you know. And and Al the tall guy, Al, you're
out of uniform again. He sets a sombrero down on
the desk, you know, because this guy's like seven big
doll and he goes you got something on your face
and he goes, no, no, the other side half a.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Banana fall on the table.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I'm not sure there is a better opening credit sequence.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Oh, and.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Doing the monologue in his head. I heard what so
peel the curtain back. That's one of my favorite like that.
That was the foundation of my humor as a child
at you know, the Naked Gun, police Squad, airplane and
Monty Python, I mean all ridiculousness I saw. I was
(10:26):
showing my the roommate Steph police Squad for the first
time after I showed her the new Nicked Gun trailer.
One of the intros was of Frank Greben going, uh,
there's reports of a murderous a guy on a murderous
rampage killing all of the city's most attractive call girls
(10:48):
and strippers, exotic dancers. Unfortunately, I'm stuck on meter made
duty parking enforcement. Complete dry delivery of Leslie Nilsen. It's
so great, especially when I was explaining to her, like,
you know, everyone thinks of him as a slapstick actor. Yeah,
(11:12):
a serious actor, which is made it so funny in
the moment.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
At the time he.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Did airplane, people didn't even know he did comedy, you know,
and it was like, oh my god, this guy's hilarious,
you know, don't call me surely. I loved him in
the in the in the original Police Squad. And then
Ol was my favorite because Alu like they were were
going to check out all the music stores, you know,
and and because somebody had an instrument, you know, they'd
(11:37):
used to kill somebody and out, you know, he shows
up me like, gives him a file and he's got
a T shirt on it says Tuba City. He's out
appreciate it while he's while he's supposed to be chick
a leaf or absurd. Well, that's the kind of humor
you get here on the Big Show. And we appreciate
