BTLS | 9AM Wednesday, Nov. 26 - Jelly Roll, and The Bubba Army Merch Frenzy!
The Bubba the Love Sponge Show goes full QVC-meets-court-TV as Bubba and the crew tear through a massive Bubba Army merch haul: tactical bags, dog harnesses, Air Bubba shoes, slides, tumblers, flags, hoodies, and more, all blasted with a limited-time 20 percent-off code while Gene’s personal order jams up the pipeline. Between hyping 40-ounce Stanley-style tumblers marked down to around half price and shouting out sizes, sellouts, and “last chance” items, the studio basically turns into a live-fire shopping channel.
Then the tone flips as they recap a heavy Jelly Roll interview about redemption, owning your broken past, and fixing the relationships you blew up along the way, before diving headfirst into crime and punishment. A Chicago case with a repeat violent offender becomes the centerpiece of a brutal debate over whether the system should lock people up longer or try alternatives, with the crew hammering leaders who keep turning dangerous suspects back out on the street. From forgiveness and second chances to “throw away the key” rage, it is classic BTLS whiplash: one minute you are buying Alpha-branded gear, the next you are knee-deep in a street-crime policy war.

BTLS | 8AM Wednesday, Nov. 26 - The $150,000 Bubba Army Teen Experiment!
The Bubba the Love Sponge Show turns a slow holiday audience into a full-blown grindfest, hustling Getabox deals, Bubba Army merch, and HQ memberships while joking that Black Friday stole all the listeners’ lunch money. Between promo codes and PayPal/Venmo/Cash App shakedowns, Bubba lays out the Thanksgiving football lineup and teases a fresh Bubba Army Alpha fragrance straight from the lab.
But the real jaw-dropper is behind the scenes: a young trainee named Colbin accidentally becomes the show’s proof-of-concept for “Bubba Army University,” selling a huge kit car job in the shop and triggering a wild three-year plan. Gene is tapped to train him, skip the traditional high school grind with homeschooling or a GED, and stack an eye-popping $50,000 a year so the kid hits 18 with $150,000 in the bank and a trade under his belt.

BTLS | 7AM Wednesday, Nov. 26 - Do You Want To See A Dead Body?
The Bubba the Love Sponge Show goes full tabloid tilt in a wild, whiplash morning that only Bubba Army could handle. From listener donations pouring in via PayPal, Venmo, and Cash App to a Christmas tree literally leaning out of frame, the studio is barely holding together while the takes get hotter. Bubba and the crew torch modern NASCAR for neutered horsepower and boring rules, pitching dirt-track killers like Rico Abreu as the only way to save the sport.
Then it gets messy: the crew dives into the World’s Strongest Woman controversy after a transgender winner gets crowned, stripped, and replaced, sparking a no-holds-barred debate on fairness and verification in strength sports. A chilling caller claims to have found a month-old body and emailed photos instead of immediately calling the cops, and Bubba lights him up for it on-air. And in the most Bubba Army story ever, Waddles the pig becomes the star of an animal-welfare firestorm, with allegations of brutal sunburn, SPCA citations, a pig rescue called Pork Butt Pastures, and PETA getting dragged into the fight live on the show. Toss in Jelly Roll WrestleMania talk, minor legal drama, and Lummix promising to fix the sad, leaning tree “after the show,” and you have peak BTLS chaos from open to close. #BubbaArmy

BTLS | 6AM Wednesday, Nov. 26 - Dead Sears Death Race: Go-Karts, Axes, And Lasker
On this episode of the Bubba the Love Sponge Show, Bubba and the crew turn a simple planning meeting into a full-contact circus as they scheme up their next big stunt inside a dead Sears turned two-story thrill park. Elevate at the old Citrus Park Mall becomes ground zero for go-karts ripping at 35 mph, bowling battles, axe-throwing chaos, and a brand-new baseball simulation machine all feeding into one cutthroat, bragging-rights scoreboard.
+ Bubba wrestles with the big question: does he drag the infamous mobile BRN basketball hoop into this madhouse or leave it on the sidelines while the crew tries not to die on go-karts with no power steering? The guys obsess over lap times, passing three-wide, and who can survive the rope course upstairs, while Gene gets tasked with turning the whole thing into a two-day, multi-event Bubba Army throwdown.
