BTLS | 7AM TH. Apr. 23 - Bubba’s On-Air Retraction, Tesla Murder Horror, and Wildfire Warnings Apr 23, 2026

Show notes

Bubba mixes birthday shout-outs and donations with a rare on-air retraction to Ty J over a bad Buccaneers “White House” tie-in, then dives into the horrifying Tesla trunk murder case around singer David and missing teen Celeste Rivas while worrying about wildfire, drought, and fireworks getting shut down across a bone-dry Southeast.

BTLS | 6AM TH. Apr. 23 - Bubba Builds a 3D Hall of Fame and Buries the Hogan Doc. Apr 23, 2026

Show notes

Bubba fires up the Bubba Army with donation shoutouts, plans for Macho Man to 3D scan Hall of Fame busts, and fresh calls for fan pics and testimonial videos to BubbaArmyPix and show@BubbaArmyHQ.com. He then rips into a Hogan “fluff job” doc ahead of guest Steven Oleksy, reacts to a bizarre MLB ball-in-the-jersey play, a sketchy tiger circus collapse, and scary near-miss aviation reports that have him side-eyeing air travel. #BubbaArmy!

BTLS | 9AM Wed. Apr. 22 - Mar-a-Lago, Savannah Hernandez Attack, and President Tucker Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew go full world tour in this one, swapping stories about life on the road, high roller nights at Mar-a-Lago, and how much it really costs to eat and party inside Trump’s Florida palace. They circle back to the brutal assault on TPUSA reporter Savannah Hernandez at an anti-ICE protest, tracking how the FBI and DOJ are now involved and what that says about political street fights in 2026.

From there, it is pure geopolitics as they chew on Russia flirting with a return to dollar oil deals, the future of the petrodollar, and how that ties into Iran war talks, airstrikes, and the nightmare nuclear what-if scenarios everyone pretends not to game out. Bubba then pivots into the Alex Jones legal wreckage, Rex Jones’ next moves, and a wild 2024 what if where Tucker Carlson jumps into the race with Tulsi Gabbard on the ticket, complete with hot takes on who that would steal votes from and how war politics could decide everything.

BTLS | 8AM Wed. Apr. 22 - Bubba Buries a Hogan Doc, and a Fish Fight Breaks Out. Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

Bubba goes into full promo mode with a GetABox minis deal, pumping the promo code Bubba and spelling out how listeners can score free minis while stacking credits for the show. He doubles down on marching orders for the crew to keep ripping short clips and viral reels for the Bubba Army Facebook page so the best on-air moments keep bouncing around social.

From there, he unloads on a new Netflix-style Hulk Hogan documentary for scrubbing key pieces of the sex tape saga, calling out what was left out and why that version of the story feels like a half-truth at best. Things then shift to a viral fishing ramp meltdown where an older woman grabs rods and sparks a screaming, borderline physical mess on the dock as Bubba and the boys replay every bad decision in the clip.

The segment closes with Bubba circling back to Iran, chewing on who is really in charge, what the next negotiation moves might be, and how fast tense talks could flip into something much hotter on the ground.

BTLS | 7AM Wed. Apr. 22 - Bubba Explains Why Seth Kushner Is Gone For Good Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

Bubba goes transparent with the Bubba Army, breaking down exactly why co-host Seth is off the show for good. He walks through the pattern of checked out vibes, negative on-camera gestures, and a final headphone-throwing blowup that forced his hand. Bubba owns past attempts to accommodate Seth, admits the move leaves a hole in the lineup, and makes it clear he would rather run lighter on talent than drag dead weight on a live show.

BTLS | 6AM Wed. Apr. 22 - Bubba Says Goodbye to Seth Kushner Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew turn the mics on themselves, laying out new rules for the next Bubba the Love Sponge Show studio: mandatory quick cleaning sessions and a stripped-down podcast area that stays uncluttered and camera-ready, rather than looking like a storage unit exploded. The plan is simple: everybody grabs a rag, everybody does their part, and the new room is designed from day one to look tight on video, not like old Bubba chaos.

In between sponsor hits and neighborhood stories, Bubba locks in on Barp, announcing that Truly Yours Event Planning is handling the details at The Barn at Covington Farm so the party actually runs like a real event, not a radio stunt held together with duct tape and prayers. He talks lodging, layout, and how this lakefront barn spot is set up to be the Bubba Army’s big yearly family reunion.

The toughest part of the segment is Bubba making it official that the show is moving forward without Seth Kushner, citing checked-out body language on camera, thrown headphones, and what he sees as flat-out disrespect for the audience and the brand. He spells out what he expects from anyone on the couch or behind a mic and makes clear that if you cannot be locked in on video, you cannot be in the room. It was a sad day. Gene Lasker is going to miss his friend.

They wrap by dragging NASCAR race control over what they call another late race caution mess, vowing to pull race clips and RTP Sports breakdowns to prove how a questionable yellow flipped the finish and helped the wrong driver. It is part staff meeting, part party pitch, and part stock-car conspiracy rant, all stamped with classic Bubba blunt-force honesty.

BTLS | 9AM Tue. Apr. 21 - Jersey DWI Stop and a Tampa TSA Meltdown Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew lock onto a New Jersey police bodycam DWI stop from November 4, 2023, walking through how the case played out from the roadside questions to the courtroom, including the April 25 full upload date and a January 24, 2024, guilty plea that left the driver on the hook for fines and penalties. They use the clip to torch what they see as a growing trend of younger drivers talking slick, arguing every step, and turning simple stops into viral showdowns instead of just taking the test, signing the ticket, and going home.

Then the show jumps to Tampa International Airport, where a TSA screening turns into a scene after a passenger refuses to let a male agent complete a pat-down, digs in on his “rights,” and ends up in handcuffs, missing his flight. Bubba walks through how TSA protocol works, how long agents and supervisors waited before calling the police, and what actually happens once you cross the line from complaining traveler to trespassing suspect on federal property.

Between the two clips, the crew keeps circling the same theme: you can hate the rules and still have to play by them if you want to keep your license, catch your flight, and avoid walking away in cuffs.

BTLS | 8AM Tue. Apr. 21 - Bubba’s War Room: Ceasefire, Laser Guns, and 8 P.M. Tonight Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew lock in on the Iran ceasefire deadline, drilling into the two-week pause that is supposed to end around 8 p.m. Eastern on April 22 and what it means if talks stall or collapse. They argue that endless extensions make the White House look weak, toss around intel figures like roughly 900 pounds of enriched uranium on the table, and lay out a menu of “surgical” options from hitting power plants and key bridges to a focused leadership strike, all while warning about human shields and the brutal math of civilian risk.

The show leans into the tech side too, with Bubba breaking down the Navy’s HELIOS laser system now riding on a destroyer off Iran’s coast, explaining how it can fry cheap 20,000 dollar drones for about five bucks a shot instead of burning 3 to 12 million dollar missiles every time something pops up on radar. They talk range, weather limits, ship power demands, and how precisely directed energy could let the US take out drone swarms or even specific ship sections while trying to spare nearby civilians.

In the final stretch, the crew pivots from war zones to runways, sounding off about commercial aviation safety, creeping automation in the cockpit, short-staffed air traffic control, and a run of near-miss stories that have flyers questioning just how tight the system really is. The whole block feels like Bubba’s version of a classified briefing, with barstool hypotheticals about what the US actually does the minute the ceasefire clock hits zero.

BTLS | 7AM Tue. Apr. 21 - Seth Kushner Gets Sent Home, Bubba Lays Down the Law. Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

Bubba kicks off with sponsor love for Crystal Harley-Davidson, running through riding academy plugs, financing perks, and website promos before the show takes a hard left into real-time drama. A simmering on-air clash with co-host Seth boils over when Seth reacts, slams his headphones, and walks out of the studio, forcing Bubba to address it live in front of the audience.

In a tense, unfiltered monologue, Bubba apologizes for how some sensitive topics were handled, but makes it crystal clear that visible sulking, eye rolling, and checked out body language on camera are not acceptable if you want a mic on The Bubba the Love Sponge Show. He reminds everyone that he has the final say on who stays, sends Seth home for the day, and tells listeners he will clear the room, call Seth from the studio, and decide whether Seth still has a future on the show. Godspeed Seth.

Along the way, Bubba thanks the Bubba Army for donations and support tied to a potential studio move and relocation timeline, stressing that the people who back the show deserve a fully locked-in crew, not on-air meltdowns. It is raw behind-the-scenes power struggle meets live radio, with Bubba promising the audience they will know how the Seth call plays out.
