BTLS | 8AM Mon. May 4 - Late-Night Jokes, Trump, and Why the FCC Probably Can’t Touch Them May 04, 2026

Show notes

On this episode of the Bubba the Love Sponge® Show, the crew unloads on President Trump’s threats toward late‑night comedians, walking through why the First Amendment and decades of case law make it almost impossible to yank TV or radio licenses just because hosts roast the president. They dig into the old FCC fairness doctrine and how Reagan-era deregulation helped launch partisan talk radio superstars like Rush Limbaugh, then argue that instead of trying to weaponize regulators against comics, the president should be fixing wars and fuel prices while comedians keep doing what they do best: protected political jokes that are nowhere near obscenity or incitement.

BTLS | 7AM Mon. May 4 - Hogan Archives, NYC Stabbing, and $150 F1 Hot Dog May 04, 2026

Show notes

On this episode of the Bubba the Love Sponge® Show, the crew decides to make their massive archive of Hulk Hogan call‑ins a top project, digging out old segments where Hogan weighed in on everything from controversial remarks to OJ and planning to spin those calls into standalone videos and content runs. They pivot to a heated breakdown of a New York knife attack where the mayor visited the hospitalized attacker instead of centering the wounded cop, argue over how broken the mental‑health and policing system is, then rip through a rapid‑fire news stack on Spirit Airlines suddenly shutting down, viral outrage over a luxury F1 hot dog that can run around $100–$150 in Miami, and fresh Trump–Iran maneuvering that they promise to keep hammering in upcoming segments.

BTLS | 6AM Mon. May 4 - Studio Move, Miami F1, and May 30 Ocala Race May 04, 2026

Show notes

On this episode of the Bubba the Love Sponge® Show, the crew breaks down the insane costs and VIP flexing around Formula 1’s Miami weekend, dives into how DRS, hybrid batteries, and pit strategy actually swing races, then shifts to Bubba’s own world with his kid stacking wins in sprint and crate cars and a big May 30 show at Ocala Speedway that he’s set to promote and run. They walk through the exact May 18–26 plan to move the studio and gym gear and be back on the air by May 26, detour into a brutal baseball beanball and likely facial fractures, and close with a long, salty postmortem on the Tampa Bay Lightning’s latest playoff flameout and whether a highly paid captain who can’t stay on the ice needs to go.

BTLS | 9AM Fri. May 1 - Bubba Heads to Emerald Coast Harley This Weekend May 01, 2026

Show notes

On this episode of the Bubba the Love Sponge® Show, Bubba hangs with Nunley and Gus to pump Emerald Coast Harley’s spring fling and bike fest, sending listeners to EmeraldCoastHD.com to check out the packed new and pre-owned lineup and event vendors in Fort Walton Beach. He also talks about fall plans to come back with guests for track time and racing, swaps Mahindra versus John Deere war stories about PTO pull and RPMs, and promises to keep supporting Gus and the dealership when they fire it up again later this year.

BTLS | 8AM Fri. May 1 - Bubba Salutes Fallen Bikers, Calls for Bombs Over Iran, and We May 01, 2026

Show notes

On this episode of the Bubba the Love Sponge® Show, Bubba opens with stories from the biker world, remembering old‑school outlaw Gene’s circle and the passing of chapter boss “Sidewalk” while talking about how tight the bike community really is. He then shifts into war room mode on Iran, blasting stalled talks as oil rips past wartime highs with the Strait of Hormuz choked off, Iran’s economy in free fall, and calls for hypersonics and B‑1 runs instead of more “limbo” ceasefires that keep shipping and leadership questions hanging over the region.

The crew closes by reacting to Britney Spears’ latest DUI case near Ventura County, weighing how rehab, treatment, and first‑offense rules might help her in court while still ripping the decision to drive under the influence.

BTLS | 7AM Fri. May 1 - Bubba Rips Greg Biffle Fraud Suspects May 01, 2026

Show notes

On this episode of the Bubba the Love Sponge® Show, Bubba shouts out Crystal Harley’s Military Appreciation and Hero Cash deals, then dives back into the Greg Biffle story, reacting to new warrants and reports that friends of the late NASCAR driver may have looted cash, collectibles, and even laundered charity money after his fatal plane crash. He and the crew also tear into the FCC’s history of indecency fines and license threats, warning that using Kimmel’s Melania joke as a pretext to squeeze ABC stations is a dangerous throwback to the Howard Stern era that could chill every broadcaster who depends on edgy comedy and advertiser dollars to survive.

BTLS | 6AM Fri. May 1 - Bubba’s Signing Shoes, and a 7-foot-9 Freak May 01, 2026

Show notes

On this episode of the Bubba the Love Sponge® Show, Bubba shouts out donors, lines up a meme drop for future merch, and promises to sign and ship custom shoes while the crew geeks out over 7-foot-9 transfer Olivier Rioux, leaving Florida for UC Irvine and finally getting real minutes. They tear into a substitute teacher who called herself a “million-dollar prostitute” and allegedly grabbed a student, swap bad-cop stories, dissect new DOJ footage of the White House Correspondents’ shooting suspect scouting the Hilton, and tease a follow-up report naming a woman in the sick burglary and fraud spree that hit Greg Biffle’s home after his fatal plane crash.

BTLS | 9AM TH. Apr. 30 - Cruise Lawsuit, a “Dexter” Copycat, and a Plane-Crash Heist Apr 30, 2026

Show notes

On this episode of the Bubba the Love Sponge® Show, Bubba and the crew light up the Carnival overconsumption verdict, where a woman downed around 14–15 tequila shots across multiple bars and still walked away with a $300,000 judgment, arguing the cruise line should appeal before every drunk tries the same play. They dive into the torture murder of 24-year-old trans man Sam Nordquist with five plus suspects, a Florida “Dexter” wannabe accused of dismembering a sex offender and keeping DNA slides as trophies, and a grim story of NASCAR driver Greg Biffle’s family dying in a private plane crash, only to have their home hit by what looks like an insider-fed burglary and fraud spree.

BTLS | 8AM TH. Apr. 30 - Will Bubba Run for Tampa Mayor? Apr 30, 2026

Show notes

On this episode of the Bubba the Love Sponge® Show, Bubba and the crew game out a Tampa mayoral run built on grassroots votes instead of PAC money, walking through 2027 election turnout math, a roughly $6,400 qualifying nut, and Bob Buckhorn’s million-plus war chest as the establishment hurdle to beat. They pitch a Jackson House announcement with pro bono legal clinics and a museum downstairs, slam career politicians and old “six-foot rule” era policies, and zero in on East Tampa and Sulfur Springs door-knocking as the path to 13,000 first-round votes and a real runoff shot.

BTLS | 7AM TH. Apr. 30 - Bubba Says the FCC Is Off Its Rocker Over Kimmel Apr 30, 2026

Show notes

On this episode of the Bubba the Love Sponge® Show, Bubba and the crew torch the FCC’s unprecedented early review of eight ABC station licenses over Jimmy Kimmel’s “expectant widow” Melania joke, walking through how license revocations have not happened since the 1969 WLBT case and why Hustler v. Falwell style parody is still protected speech that would likely win on appeal all the way to the Supreme Court. They close by turning to Iran’s bloody protest crackdowns, executions, and massacres, arguing the U.S. should help with intel, arms, and comms but stay away from boots on the ground before it turns into another forever war.
