BTLS | 6AM TH. May 7 - Hedman’s Mental-Health Leave, Missed Games, and the “Story” May 07, 2026

Show notes

On this episode of the Bubba the Love Sponge® Show, the crew spends nearly the whole segment on Victor Hedman’s season, hammering the Tampa Bay Lightning for how they handled his late‑season absence and asking whether “mental health and personal reasons” really explain why their $9‑million‑a‑year captain disappeared for roughly 50 games, including the entire playoff run. They play off his exit presser about needing to be a “better husband and dad,” point out that he was officially scratched as an “illness” in Vancouver after already missing long stretches with an elbow issue, and argue that for a franchise that’s been a Cup contender for a decade, the C has an obligation to show up, face hard questions, and be transparent with fans instead of hiding behind vague injury labels while mental‑health support programs like the NHLPA’s First Line and the league’s player‑assistance system exist to help guys who are legitimately struggling.

BTLS | 9AM Wed. May 6 - Missing Parts, Big Gus, and Influencers Hitting the Track May 06, 2026

He then lays out the full Missing Parts Ride weekend at Emerald Coast Harley VIP party Friday, charity ride Saturday, pool and post‑parties, and Sunday ride with registration running through EmeraldCoastHD.com to help amputees get back on bikes, and sketches plans to bring Justin “Danger” Nunley and a Canadian creator to both the ride and May 30, August 8, September 26, and October 3 race nights where they’ll run heat races, 20‑lap features, and a 10‑lap Crown Vic grudge shootout alongside Tyler’s return to the track.

BTLS | 8AM Wed. May 6 - Tyler’s Race, Monkey Torture Case, and Candace Owens’ Texts May 06, 2026

Show notes

On this episode of the Bubba the Love Sponge® Show, Bubba bangs the drum for Tyler Clem Racing, telling listeners to hit his son’s Facebook page with its roughly 11,000 followers and reminding everyone he’ll be back at the local track for a May 30 show where Bubba may call the shots from the infield. The crew then unloads on a horrifying U.S. monkey‑torture ring where 11 people were indicted for paying a minor in Indonesia to mutilate monkeys on camera, ties that into the infamous orangutan “Pony” sex‑slave story, and closes with Candace Owens’ explosive release of Charlie Kirk text messages about divorce and fearing he’d be killed, plus a tease that Bubba is digging through public records on a fresh Hulk Hogan–adjacent arrest before he goes nuclear on air.

BTLS | 7AM Wed. May 6 - Dimebag Stacks, Iran Talk, and Tyler’s May 30 Double Dip May 06, 2026

Show notes

On this episode of the Bubba the Love Sponge® Show, Bubba shows off the studio’s rock‑and‑roll history with stories about in‑studio sets from bands like Night Ranger and Colin Hay, talks up the high‑end board and Dimebag Darrell amp stacks on the stage, and decides to post 20‑second demo clips and list the collectible Dean/Dime gear on Facebook Marketplace along with a plug for Fourth‑Gen Roof’s $1,000‑off new roof deal. He rips through gubernatorial politics and why he wants a far more aggressive line on Iran, opens up about reconnecting with Tyler and locking in a May 30 race where Tyler will run both 602 and 604 late models while asking the Bubba Army to juice his Tyler Clem Racing socials, kicks around an NHL star’s mental‑health absence and messy trade/cheating rumors, and ends on an emotional, furious reaction to an orangutan sexual‑abuse case he calls one of the worst stories he’s ever read.

BTLS | 6AM Wed. May 6 - Iran Bodycam Debate, Matt Cox EP Role, and Minnesota Scam May 06, 2026

Show notes

On this episode of the Bubba the Love Sponge® Show, the crew locks in Matt Cox as executive producer on a new spin‑off podcast once the downsized studio space is ready, settles on a tweaked Lasker Unleashed logo, and talks about replacing lost programming with three new shows, including a stand‑alone YouTube channel separate from the Bubba Army feed. They then walk through Arlington police bodycam footage from the 2017 Tavis Crane shooting and the city’s $1.9 million settlement, blast what they see as politically driven payouts and “woke” school and religious accommodations, and promise deeper digs into Minnesota’s massive “Feeding Our Future” child‑nutrition fraud case and the politicians they think looked the other way.

They pivot into the escalating Iran war around the Strait of Hormuz and argue for a much harder, more visible U.S. military response and messaging, rant about how flat American patriotism feels compared with Canadian crowds, and finish by blasting a New York mayor’s pro‑Islam remarks in a speech clip while questioning where the line is on separation of church and state.

Show notes

On this episode of the Bubba the Love Sponge® Show, Bubba talks through studio logistics and even where to stash the horn upstairs, then pivots into kidney‑stone war stories, stress over the move, and how much longer he can keep grinding this schedule. He riffs on OnlyFans freak‑money stories, plugs Ian Langen’s “Video Killed The Radio Star” Hogan documentary and a how‑to promo guide he wants pinned on The Bubba Army Facebook page, and lays out hard truths about staff, Seth’s role, the Operation Pigmentation fallout, and what a scaled‑back future for the show might look like.

Bubba then lays out plans to keep the Crown Vic as the dependable daily, gut the legendary cream machine and drop about $5,000 in electronics to turn it into a mobile podcast studio for events instead of selling it, and talks through the stress of downsizing into a smaller on‑property studio while still dealing with a stubborn kidney stone.
