BTLS | 6AM Tue. Apr. 21 - Bubba Count Down, DUI Tragedy, and Protest Chaos Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew zero in on the Iran war pause, breaking down the two-week ceasefire that kicked in around April 8 and is set to expire on April 22, while they wrestle with the fact that even the feds and media are fuzzy about the exact hour it actually ends, thanks to time zones and vague announcements. The guys debate what happens the minute the clock runs out and how much trust anyone should have in ceasefire lines when both sides have already been accused of violations.

From there, the show gets local and raw with a deadly DUI crash allegedly involving a prominent coach’s grandson, reacting to reports of a .11 reading, a six-figure bond, and questions about how long it took to test him and whether his last name bought him softer handling than a random kid would get. Bubba hammers home the idea that a rideshare would have been cheaper than a ruined life, and wonders out loud whether justice really hits everyone the same way when powerful families are involved.

The segment then shifts to a viral protest clip out of Minneapolis, where a Turning Point USA journalist says she was beaten while filming an anti-ICE rally, with the FBI now reviewing the case as local authorities confirm arrests for attacking a journalist and a deputy, plus an obstruction with force charge. That launches a wider rant on wokeness, social media mob behavior, and even a British policing story, ending with the crew arguing that courts should ditch the Zoom-era looseness and snap back to more formal, old-school courtroom procedures.

BTLS | 9AM Mon. Apr. 20 - Stepson Torture Horror, NBA Mob Betting Scandal, and a Fallen Mayor Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew go deep on a brutal Connecticut abuse case where a 32-year-old man, reportedly held captive by his stepmother for about 20 years, set his room on fire so firefighters would finally find him, telling rescuers he was hungry all day, every day, and just wanted his freedom. The guys react to reports that he weighed only about 68 pounds at 5 feet 9 and that the stepmother now faces a stack of felony charges, including assault, kidnapping-style offenses, and unlawful restraint, with a bond set in the hundreds of thousands.

From there, the show jumps into a wild NBA gambling scandal, breaking down how former player and coach Damon Jones is expected to plead guilty in a mafia-linked betting probe that allegedly used inside info about injuries and rigged poker games to cheat victims out of more than 7 million dollars, with Chauncey Billups pleading not guilty in the same web of cases. Bubba and the boys chew on what it means for the league, the locker room, and fans who thought the games were clean.

The segment turns even darker with news that former Gettysburg mayor Chad Carr has been arrested in Texas on multiple child sex crime warrants out of Pennsylvania, including felony sexual assault and charges tied to sexual depictions of a child, as more alleged victims come forward. The crew closes with a rapid-fire local crime roundup featuring fresh homicides, shootings, long cold cases suddenly cracked, and an arms trafficking bust, promising to keep the true crime barrage going after the break.

BTLS | 8AM Mon. Apr. 20 - Bubba Takes on Ibogaine, Joe Rogan, and a “Too Drunk to Sail” Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew roll into the segment with quick real-life updates, including Dan’s surgery schedule and how it affects his time on the show, before diving into psychedelics talk centered on ibogaine and its reported power to knock down opioid withdrawal and cravings. They kick around claims of sky-high effectiveness while pointing out that drugs like ibogaine are still tied up in old-school Schedule 1 rules and red tape, even as new research and policy interest start to build.

The conversation then zooms out to Joe Rogan’s growing political pull, including his role standing alongside President Trump as the White House pushes an executive order to fast-track psychedelic research and loosen some of the federal brakes that have been on for decades. From there, Bubba shifts into a heated breakdown of the viral Carnival cruise overserving case, where a passenger who slammed roughly 14 tequila shots in under nine hours, despite a 15 drinks per day limit, walked away with a 300,000 dollar verdict after a brutal fall.

Bubba and the boys hammer the line between personal responsibility and corporate liability, ripping into the lawsuit and the lawyers while still acknowledging Carnival’s policies and the jury's actual decision. They close by teasing a big clarification on the latest draft rumor, stressing on air that there is no new mandatory draft while promising to explain the real procedural change after the break.

BTLS | 7AM Mon. Apr. 20 - Bubba Airs "Danitol" , Clowns Dan for Sleeping Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew fire up a spoof commercial break with the debut of the fake multivitamin Danital, complete with ridiculous ingredients, over-the-top slogans, and the team agreeing it is the kind of bit that belongs on the show. They roll right into busting Dan’s chops for falling asleep on air, framing it as perfect radio fodder even while admitting it looks bad when a guy is literally out cold with the mics hot.

From there, the tone turns serious as the show dives into the latest tension around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, reacting to reports of speedboats firing on tankers, Indian flagged ships coming under fire, and India summoning the Iranian ambassador after the attacks. Bubba and the boys question mixed messages about ceasefires and negotiations, and argue that tougher US moves, like blockades or strikes, may be the only language Iran understands.

They wrap by quickly touching on upcoming Bubba 199 plans and even confirming a Bubba Army jacket sale to a listener in Riverview, blending merch business with world crisis talk in classic show fashion. Do you want this segment copy to lean more toward newsy or more toward over-the-top shock radio in future drafts?

BTLS | 6AM Mon. Apr. 20 - Bubba Roasts Butthole Sunning and Breaks Down WrestleMania 42 Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew go all in on the viral butthole sunning trend, clowning the supposed wellness benefits while hammering the real risks like brutal burns, cancer concerns, and herpes flare-ups that doctors warn about. The segment turns into a mix of health skepticism and juvenile humor as they talk about people literally pointing their backside at the sun for a so-called energy boost.

From there, it is a full-throttle WrestleMania 42 debrief, with the weekend’s biggest matches, retirements, and entrances getting dissected, including major moments from the Las Vegas stadium show and how the broadcast was jammed with commercials and copyright limitations that annoyed hardcore fans. Bubba and the boys argue about finishes, big spots, and what WWE might be setting up next after a packed two-night card.

The mics stay hot, with sidebars about EJ Johnson and over-the-top celebrity behavior, giving the whole episode a reality-TV vibe as they swap stories and react. It is loose, ridiculous, and unfiltered talk radio energy from start to finish.

BTLS | 6AM Fri. Apr. 17 - Bubba’s Treasures, AJ Hawk Heat, and Lost Howard Audio Apr 17, 2026

Show notes

Bubba time turns into a hunt for hidden gold as the crew gets ready for a Covington Farm Barn meetup to test internet, eyeball camping options, and lock in how to turn the property into a full Bubba Army playground for the next big event. In the middle of the planning, Bubba uncovers a stash of old trading cards and an AJ Hawk-signed jersey, tapping Seth to appraise the cards while he slaps a buy-it-now tag on the jersey, with a backup plan to spin it into a raffle if it does not move. The nostalgia run keeps going when he digs up long-forgotten Howard 100 News discs full of classic interviews and decides to review and edit the best bits for air, then starts pulling personal photos for scanning so the studio’s rotating picture wall can finally show off deeper cuts from the Bubba archive.

BTLS | 9AM TH. Apr. 16 - Win Lunch With Bubba! - The New Bubba Army Raffle Madness Apr 16, 2026

Show notes

Bubba time turns into a full-on money and mayhem meeting as the crew maps out a new Bubba Army store game plan: high-end items hit the site as buy-it-now for a week, then, if they don’t move, get thrown into a raffle with 50–60 paid slots at roughly 12 to 20 bucks a ticket and bonus entries for bigger spenders. They start spitballing killer fundraiser experiences like lunch with Bubba or a one-day studio intern pass you can actually win, then slide over to show business, deciding to roll hot-mic audio of a violent incident and stretch the coverage into the next broadcast to really let the audience chew on it. From there, it gets spicy and political as they hammer term limits and age caps for lawmakers and judges, call for real transparency on politicians’ investments and post-office lobbying, and cite eye-popping campaign numbers like Omar steering 56 percent of one cycle’s spending, nearly 2.9 million dollars, to her husband’s firm as Exhibit A in how the game gets rigged.
