BTLS | 8AM TH. Mar. 26 - Killer Butt-Injections, and Bubba Torches Hillsborough Sheriff! Mar 26, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew light up local law enforcement, tearing into the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office over a wave of scandals, from an FBI National Academy cheating investigation that cost multiple command staffers their jobs to three deputies arrested in separate domestic violence cases, including one accused of shoving a gun in a woman’s mouth and threatening to kill her. They slam the agency’s “we did a background check” messaging, question how repeated red flags get missed, and argue that victims, not departments, are being protected in the press conferences. Then the show pivots to a chilling warning about back‑alley beauty: a woman convicted of involuntary manslaughter and practicing medicine without a license after a fatal silicone butt‑injection at a Burlingame hotel, as Bubba tells listeners to run from anyone offering cosmetic work in a room, not a real clinic.

BTLS | 7AM TH. Mar. 26 - Royal Caribbean Rant: Baby Face Kids Club Chaos Mar 26, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew plug a powerful noon YouTube drop with Tampa Tony telling the story of his commuted life sentence, then hand the mic to Brian for a brutally honest review of his seven‑night family suite cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas. From an overcrowded, disorganized 6–12 kids club that only turned around after a trip to guest services (and an apology plus stuffed Sailor mascots) to a creaking cabin window that earned just a $50 onboard credit, the list of gripes runs long. Add in water slides with surprise height limits, one major slide broken, hour‑plus waits, and a post‑cruise survey complaint—and the segment becomes part travel diary, part customer‑service roast, capped with a quick hit of breaking Iran/IRGC news before the show heads to break.

BTLS | 6AM TH. Mar. 26 - USF Coach Jumps Ship, and the $8M NIL Madness Mar 26, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew break down the coaching carousel as USF men’s coach Brian Hodgson bolts for Providence, triggering a $2 million buyout on a $1.6 million USF deal, and sparking worries that the Bulls just can’t financially hang with power‑league programs even as they eye a roughly $5 million basketball budget while the big boys spend $10–15 million. They rail on how NIL and the transfer portal have turned college hoops into free agency, citing mega‑packages like QB Darian Mensah’s reported two‑year, $8 million NIL deal as proof that some college checks now beat early pro contracts, and pitch fixes like tougher breach clauses and limiting players to one free transfer plus an extra move for coaching changes. On the women’s side, they celebrate USF hiring veteran coach Kristy Curry from Alabama, who previously took Purdue to the 2001 title game and stacked five straight 20‑win seasons in Tuscaloosa, as a proven program‑builder meant to lift the Bulls, while closing with cruise‑trip fallout and the reminder that when personal drama gets aired on the show, it can blow back on business and relationships off‑air.

BTLS | 9AM Wed. Mar. 25 - Alex Stein’s Campus Chaos, CPAC, and 82nd Airborne to Iran Mar 25, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and Alex Stein rip through a packed hour, plugging Alex’s new TV work and campus tour while he details CPAC trips, brutal TSA lines, and security worries after past college events devolved into protests and near‑brawls. The conversation pivots overseas as they talk fresh deployments from the 82nd Airborne into the Iran fight and mounting questions over how long the U.S. can keep funding Ukraine and another shooting war at the same time. Back home, they warn that Democrats are quietly over‑performing in special elections and flipping GOP seats while Republicans and conservative media slug it out with each other, raising real 2026 midterm panic, then close on immigration, TSA, voter‑ID gridlock, and whether America is being distracted on purpose.

BTLS | 8AM Wed. Mar. 25 - Live On-Air Breakup: Bubba Calls Real-Life ‘War of the Roses’! Mar 25, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew dive into full reality‑radio mode as listener Bobby admits his relationship with Tara is falling apart, no intimacy, living separately during the week, and a five‑year‑old caught in the middle. The team wrestles with the ethics of dragging a real couple on the air, then decides to go for it: Bubba calls Tara at work, leaves a message, and invites her to call 813‑902‑8222 so the breakup can finally be confronted live. Framed as a 100% real, non‑actor “war of the roses” moment, this segment walks the line between trying to help Bobby move on and risking serious blowback when Tara hears it all.

BTLS | 7AM Wed. Mar. 25 - 15-Point Iran ‘Peace Plan’ or Setup? Bubba Breaks Down Trump Mar 25, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew lock in on the Iran war, digging into reports that the U.S. has sent a 15‑point proposal through mediators, demanding Tehran dismantle key nuclear sites, end enrichment on its own soil, curb missiles, and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, in exchange for a possible ceasefire and sanctions relief. They contrast those terms with Iran’s counter‑demands and mixed messages, question who in Iran is actually alive and authorized to cut a deal after months of targeted strikes on leadership, and debate whether Trump’s “they’re going to make a deal” line is real progress or just pressure tactics. In the end, the table agrees on one thing: if these talks are legit and not just for TV, a real agreement might be the only way to avoid flattening Iran’s infrastructure and dragging the region, and gas prices, into something far worse.

BTLS | 6AM Wed. Mar. 25 - Florida School Stabbing Horror, Python Invasion & Frank Thomas Lawsuit Mar 25, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew open with donations and hot‑rod stories before confronting a brutal headline: the Walton Middle School stabbing, where a Florida seventh‑grader allegedly knifed two classmates and a paraprofessional during morning drop‑off, sparking outrage over bag checks, metal detectors, and how the suspect still got a weapon inside. The conversation then swings to a wild Florida deep dive on invasive Burmese pythons in the Everglades, how Hurricane Andrew and years of exotic‑pet releases helped unleash hundreds of thousands of snakes into the ecosystem, and what that’s done to native wildlife. Sports fans get their fix, too, as Bubba breaks down Frank Thomas’ new lawsuit accusing the White Sox, Nike, and Fanatics of cashing in on City Connect jerseys with his name and number without paying him a dime, plus a nod to Pete Crow‑Armstrong’s highlight‑reel inside‑the‑park-style play that has the crew buzzing.

BTLS | 9AM Tue. Mar. 24 - Kidnapper Mom, and Viral Beatdown Dads Mar 24, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew tear into a string of real‑world shockers, starting with a Utah mom now facing reduced child‑kidnapping and abuse felonies after allegedly hunting down an 11‑year‑old boy, forcing him into her car, and driving him home to “apologize” for bullying her son, an incident prosecutors say caused serious emotional damage. They jump to a viral clip of a furious father roughing up a 20‑year‑old who met his teenage daughter, arguing where parental protection ends and criminal assault begins, before taking a live call from a listener racing at Sebring and another from a parent racing to the Walton County Fairgrounds to reunite with a student after Walton Middle School goes into lockdown. Bubba closes with a white‑knuckle rant about getting menaced by a Ferrari wearing Montana plates, the rich‑guy LLC “loophole” that dodges taxes, and his plan to run the tag and find out exactly who was behind the wheel.

BTLS | 8AM Tue. Mar. 24 - Justin Timberlake’s DWI Rigged’ Sobriety Tests! Mar 24, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew roll the newly released bodycam and jailhouse footage from Justin Timberlake’s June 2024 DWI arrest in Sag Harbour, watching him stumble through roadside tests, slur his way through answers, and end up cuffed and booked despite his protests that the sobriety drills are “really hard.” They break down Timberlake’s later guilty plea to the lesser charge of driving while ability impaired, his fine, license hit, and court‑ordered PSA, then tear into how subjective field tests, phone searches, and evidence handling can make any DUI stop feel stacked against the driver.

BTLS | 7AM Tue. Mar. 24 - OnlyFans Billionaire Dead at 43, and Fire-Truck Crash Horror Mar 24, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew go headline by headline, starting with the sudden death of OnlyFans owner Leonid Radvinsky at 43 and the staggering scale of the platform he turned into a billion‑dollar, 300‑million‑user juggernaut. The tone shifts to sports as they argue over CTE, head trauma, and why guardian caps and better gear should beat old‑school macho culture, then detours into a listener update about “Birdman” landing in the hospital after a bad CBD experience. From there, the show digs into the gruesome LaGuardia disaster where an Air Canada regional jet slammed into a fire truck, killing both pilots, ejecting a flight attendant from the aircraft, and raising brutal questions about air‑traffic control, runway clearances, and who gets sued when everything goes wrong. They wrap with a heated debate on why ICE agents are suddenly fanning out across more than a dozen U.S. airports to backfill TSA staffing, what they’re actually doing at checkpoints, and what it means for privacy, politics, and your next flight.
