BTLS | 6AM Tue. Mar. 24 - Yankees Chaos, Ferrari Road Rage & Bubba’s 40-Year Radio Bombshell! Mar 24, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew unpack a packed few days, juggling show schedules, long-overdue days off, and a sold-out Bubba Army night at the Yankees game while plotting better check-in, merch, and voucher plans for the next takeover. Between shout-outs to listeners who made it out and NCAA Sweet 16 talk, Dr. Dan shares a serious family update about his mom’s crushed L2 vertebra and upcoming spine consult, reminding everyone real life doesn’t stop for radio. A scary I‑75 run-in with a maniac in a Ferrari has Bubba thinking about peeling Bubba Army stickers off the Crown Vic, and the hour wraps with chatter about the 43-year-old OnlyFans founder’s death and early ideas for a 40-story celebration of Bubba’s four decades on the air.

BTLS | 9AM Fri. Mar. 20 - Penis Shocker, Murder-Cop Scandal & Bubba’s Fan Photo Frenzy! Mar 20, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew juggle live-show logistics, fan photo requests, and promo plans for Bobby’s in Bushnell before diving into a wild, skeptical look at non-surgical penile augmentation clinics and their eyebrow-raising prices. Then the conversation turns dark with the shocking case of former Detroit police sergeant Benjamin Wagner, accused of historic sexual assaults tied to long-ignored rape kits and serious questions about missed justice. It’s classic BTLS: part business, part banter, part jaw-drop headlines.

BTLS | 8AM Fri. Mar. 20 - Bubba the Love Sponge® Fight Against Online Child Exploitation. Mar 20, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew mix real studio business with a serious public-service push, locking in plans for 98-inch TVs, Hall of Fame displays, soundproofing, and new Bubba Army signs while coordinating purchases with Brian and Macho. The bigger conversation turns to the rising threat of online child sexual abuse material, with the show citing exploding case counts, AI-driven obfuscation, and the need for more investigators, better cross-database cooperation, and stronger federal support to identify victims faster. They also cover a simple on-air rule for contributors who feel unwell: signal it early, take a break, and avoid looking checked out on the mic.

BTLS | 7AM Fri. Mar. 20 - ABC Pulls the Plug on Bachelorette Over Shocking Violence Video! Mar 20, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew light up the morning with a no-holds-barred look at local promos, ad relationships, and claims about the show’s digital reach before diving headfirst into the mess that nuked ABC’s new Bachelorette season. After a TMZ video allegedly showed the lead in a domestic-violence incident with her child present, the hosts blast the network fallout, sponsor panic, and the brutal cost of scandal in modern TV. It’s a full-throttle mix of radio business, ratings gripes, and media chaos as the show asks who’s really getting blackballed—and who’s getting canceled.

BTLS | 6AM Fri. Mar. 20 - Gene’s Jersey Drama, Yankees Night & WNBA Pay Explosion on Bubba Army! Mar 20, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew tee up a huge Bubba Army night at the Yankees–Orioles game, with the 6:35 first pitch, a $45 ticket link, and the whole section gearing up for a packed house at Steinbrenner Field. Then Gene Lasker takes over the conversation with a wild mix of personal stories, a past arrest anecdote, and a full-on jersey showdown after scoring an authentic Negro League piece from Lids, prompting the crew to settle the wardrobe debate and tell him what to wear for the game. The show also dips into March Madness, forged memorabilia, and the brand-new WNBA pay surge, where the league’s new CBA is set to push the salary cap to about $7 million and top stars over $1 million for the first time.

BTLS | 9AM TH. Mar. 19 - Alex Stein’s New 11 p.m. Show, and the CIA vs. Tucker Mar 19, 2026

Show notes

Bubba welcomes Alex Stein back to break down his new After Hours show on Real America’s Voice, airing weeknights at 11 p.m. Eastern on Dish 218 and streaming apps, plus his push to blow up YouTube while drama swirls behind the scenes. The conversation swerves into the Iran war fallout as Alex warns about oil shocks, recession risk, and an “asymmetrical” fight that he says the EU doesn’t really want in on, then floats a bombshell idea: lean on Putin and ease Russia sanctions as part of a diplomatic endgame. Things get even hotter when he claims the CIA is probing Tucker over texts with people in Iran and that investigations like this could actually shove big media names toward a presidential run. They close by talking radio‑industry earthquakes at Cumulus, Chapter 11, debt-for-equity restructuring, and what it could mean for legacy stations like WBAP, before agreeing to keep Alex’s guest spots rolling on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

BTLS | 8AM TH. Mar. 19 - Bubba Army Takes Over Yankees Game as Gene Pushes Popcorn Mar 19, 2026

Show notes

Bubba kicks things off hyping a Bubba Army night at the Yankees–Orioles game, first pitch at 6:35, with the crew posted up in the stands before Gene Lasker hijacks the mic with a wild old arrest story, and the gang breaks down a heated traffic‑stop clip where a young driver fights with cops over a chaotic pull‑over. They shift into full‑on hustle mode as Gene plugs his son’s school popcorn fundraiser, online orders running roughly $22 to $75 a pop, and already close to goal with plans to blast the link across Bubba Army channels. The hour turns deadly serious on a Riviera Beach mass shooting, featuring a 20‑year‑old accused of gunning down multiple people and a judge in a separate robbery case throwing 25 years at a young defendant, while the crew closes on celebrity chatter, weight‑loss updates, and listener membership pitches.

BTLS | 7AM TH. Mar. 19 - AI Bubba Teasers, and Making It Right with a Four‑Year‑Old! Mar 19, 2026

Show notes

Bubba lines up a big drop as the crew hypes a new one‑on‑one with Vic Serrano hitting the Bubba Army YouTube channel at noon, complete with 30–47 second AI‑cut teaser clips, Gary Cantrell is cranking out to hook listeners fast. Between promo hits, they paint a postcard of the new St. Pete Pier, multi‑level, waterfront views that feel straight‑up tropical, before turning to something closer to home: how a four‑year‑old, Walker, got scared after seeing an adult grab his mom’s butt, why that reaction matters, and how to fix it. The segment ends with Gene stepping up, planning to roll into an upcoming kids’ ballfield event loaded with inflatable bats, jerseys, and little gifts as a peace offering and memory reset for the whole crew.

BTLS | 6AM TH. Mar. 19 - Shaq Pays for Bullying Victim’s Funeral, and 988 on Blast! Mar 19, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew tackle life‑and‑death heavyweights in this hour, starting with the heartbreaking story of 12‑year‑old Jada West, killed after a fight at her school bus stop—while Shaquille O’Neal steps in to quietly cover her funeral costs, and the show asks who failed her when bullying warnings went ignored. From there, they walk listeners through the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline experience using a prerecorded explainer instead of a live call, praising the mission but ripping the phone tree, hold times, and lack of instant human contact as reasons desperate people might hang up before help arrives. The segment closes with plans for more Gene Lasker appearances and a plug for the revamped BubbaArmyHQ.com, where fans can catch full shows and archives after the mics go cold.

BTLS | 9AM Wed. Mar. 18 - No Jail for ‘Sexy Teacher’?! Mar 18, 2026

Show notes

Bubba and the crew unload on the McKenna Kindred case, dissecting how a teacher convicted of sexually abusing a teen student walks with probation, a small fine, and a decade on the sex‑offender registry, but zero jail time. The tone whiplashes from outrage to eye‑rolling as they blast the sentence and the way the story’s been sexualized, then pivot to NFL drama: Mark Gastineau’s $25 million lawsuit against ESPN over a 30 for 30 Favre confrontation gets tossed with prejudice, and the guys relive the awkward autograph‑table showdown and his once‑legendary single‑season sack record. They wrap by teasing fresh body‑cam footage in an upcoming Doug Martin segment, promising even more hard‑to‑watch football fallout in the next hour.
