Bubba the Love Sponge Thread

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Why does he keep saying "regardless of the outcome of the trial, at least it'll be over."? Regardless of the outcome? Dude if you lose, the outcome is your career is probably over, how could it not be?

[Amigo]

Bubbs stated today that he is going to move all BTLS merch through Amazon.
He added, "That means, No Screwups!"

Finally, he gets out of a time-sucking activity which he simply could not competently handle...

[Amigo]

Why does he keep saying "regardless of the outcome of the trial, at least it'll be over."? Regardless of the outcome? Dude if you lose, the outcome is your career is probably over, how could it not be?

Maybe he'll appeal...

Is this like a loser leaves the business wrasslin' match? :jj:

Is this like a loser leaves the business wrasslin' match? :jj:

LOL yeah, since you put it that way.:brofist:

Seriously though if he does lose I personally can't see how he'll be able to continue. That judgment will roon him.

We've known this for a while now.

I know, but it's good to hear it from the horse's mouth. Whenever he say's "Well the new Bubba..." and it runs contrary to what made him popular to begin with, at least in my opinion it does.:idk:

Agreed.

Bets are up. Best I could come up with. I'll give you until Wed. to bet on the case being settled or dropped. Any bets after that where the trial is settled or dropped BEFORE the trial starts will be terminated. In other words...don't be a Cawksuckah! Good Luck!

is this the old bubba that lied to everyone about being a man's man and let hootie fuck his wife or is this the i'm gonna do everything to fuck up my career including spoofing ratings, bubba? Maybe it's the "lets set them up on a DUI" bubba?

or is he just the same old bubba as represented above?

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Bubba's doing eHarmony now? :facepalm:

Oh and what happened to "I love fan duel so much I would play even if they weren't sponsors"? Now he's hawking some second rate fantasy sports site nobody's ever heard of.:rolleyes:

[FishMuskys]

What's wrong with making some ad money? FanDuel is only fun during football to most people.

Working out a settlement????

[FishMuskys]

Working out a settlement????

I immediately bet on Nielsen dropping the case. :smug:

[Chob]

The real show is gonna be Hogan v. Cox and Pals.

And sponsors are sponsors. Loyalty only goes as far as the money keeps flowing and I see no problem with that.

TALKERS News Notes. We have a new date in the legal saga between Bubba the Love Sponge and Nielsen Audio. After suddenly postponing Monday’s scheduled start of the courtroom proceedings, the two sides are being called in for a status conference on April 10. Perhaps we’ll learn more about the trial schedule after that.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

This eHarmony bit is the dumbest shit ever, what a waste of time.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Jesus, is it just me or does the show recently sound like one big live read?

[Dr_Jeckyll]

I heard or read somewhere the trial will start on April 16th.

[FishMuskys]

Nope...that's the day they discuss when the trial will start.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Legal updates from the Sponge himself:
His federal trial will start next Monday 04/16/2018
Hogan vs. Cox is currently doing depositions and should start up about a year from now.

Joe the Supermark makes his triumphant return.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Wattersgate? Heat with Manson (He's been out the last two days)? Trace no longer at the BRN? :bigthink:

Imagine if Manson decides not to come back...

[Amigo]

Joe the Supermark makes his triumphant return.

He seems to think he's gonna get cleared of all charges, including manslaughter.

He still sounds kind of flaky. I hope he doesn't go back to the PCP...

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Just checked twitch, the speculation is rampant that Trace was fired and Manson has quit...

[Amigo]

If that's the case, Bubbs is covering up well.

[SJ]

Just checked twitch, the speculation is rampant that Trace was fired and Manson has quit...

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Caller - "what's up with Manson and Trace?"

Bubba - "I don't know, I don't know, Mike will come back when he feels better, inside and out"

That's all I needed to hear, it's over Johnny!

[Amigo]

Hold up on the happy dance, Cap.

On yesterday's 10 AM Bubba Army Radio show, someone mentioned that Manson had the flu...

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Bubba - "Here's my official statement- - Manson will come back when feels better... inside and out. Him and I will get it worked out..."

Take from that what you will...

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Hold up on the happy dance, Cap.

On yesterday's 10 AM Bubba Army Radio show, someone mentioned that Manson had the flu...

Did you not just hear his official statement? It's over my dude.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

He addressed it the exact same way he does with everything else that negatively impacts him. First tried the flu bullshit, and then when everyone immediately saw through that he went with the "I have nothing to say on the situation" to finally giving his cryptic "official statement" this is all damage control, spin, reverse the heat 101 with the Sponge.

[Amigo]

Well, maybe Bubbs and Manson will work it out. They always do...

[FishMuskys]

I hear good deeds were done today.

Oh, that, yeah. I'm sure it has nothing to do with buliding up some goodwill before his case next week right?
Or is it Bubba taking a cheap shot at Trace because when his 4 wheeler was stolen he didn't get shit. :lol:

In all seriousness though it is nice to see that kid get a new bike. He lives in one of the worst parts of Tampa (sulphur springs) hopefully they can secure it better this time around.

[Amigo]

You are such a skeptic, cap....

:jj:

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

You are such a skeptic, cap....

20+ years of listening to the Sponge will do that to a guy I guess. :lol:

But.......you can't quit him......

:D

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

You are such a skeptic, cap....

:jj:

Honestly though, does he ever do anything "just because"? I find the timing dubious, he is one of the best workers after all, so you have to at least ask the question, don't you?

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

But.......you can't quit him......

:D

Honestly no, it's gonna take losing the trial and possibly Manson to end the show. I need closure, it's been a long ride. It's hard to just walk away after so much time invested, you know what I mean? I wanna see this thing all the way through.

[Amigo]

Yeah, I can grok that, Cap.

It may be an ignominious end, though...

[FishMuskys]

hahaha

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Yeah, I can grok that, Cap.

It may be an ignominious end, though...

Oh, no doubt, I think that's the only way it will end. It wouldn't be Bubba to ride off into the sunset at the top of his game ala Barry Sanders. I see him more of a Willy Mays with the Mets or Johnny U with the Chargers or in more recent times how long Shaq stayed around past his expiration date.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

hahaha

Did you listen to the show today Fish? What are your thoughts on the Manson deal? You think he can continue on successfully without him and Ned?

[FishMuskys]

I haven't listen all year.:lol:

[Amigo]

Honestly though, does he ever do anything "just because"? I find the timing dubious, he is one of the best workers after all, so you have to at least ask the question, don't you?

Sure.

The first thing I thought of with the (to be televised) dirt bike replacement story was: PUBLIC RELATIONS effort.

Bubbs is pretty obvious most of the time...

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

I haven't listen all year.:lol:

Ok, well you know more than enough about the show, what do you think if the rumors are true and Manson has left for good?

[roblas77]

Manson leaving the show was inevitable after Trace was hired. I remember thinking: "Bubba, DON'T hire Trace, because then you'll never be able to get rid of him." There have been countless times that Donna threatened Bubba because he wanted to fire Trace. Make no mistake, Donna ran the show. I've noticed that Bubba has been much more engaged since Manson has been gone. I have actually enjoyed this week's batch of shows. As long as Gene comes in every other day, they should be just fine. And this is coming from a guy who's favorites on the show used to be Ned and Manson. But the whole Ned thing started getting old a while ago. And Manson has been coasting for a while outside of doing the occasional parody song. And I LOVE that Bubba is getting this kid a bike!!! The one thing that Trace dreams of!! LOL!!! So Glad Donna's hold on the show is GONE now.

[FishMuskys]

Manson family is on vacation. Bubba knows how to work the marka.:lol:

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Manson family is on vacation. Bubba knows how to work the marka.:lol:

Normally I'd agree with you, but watching how Bubba has reacted to this I don't think it's a work. Manson leaving has never really been talked about and now it's all anyone has talked about. Where there's smoke...

On 3/26 cluster F, Bubba came in like he does sometimes and Manson and him had a argument on air. Donna being the white trash that she is, has been asking/demanding things from Bubba to ask someone for something. Manson told her he wouldn't ask Bubba. Manson says they aren't having "fun" and he has issues with Bubba. Bubba told him to wait until the trial was over and it would get better. I have to say Bubbas show's in February and March have been really good so I dont understand the "no fun". There is real tension here.

That seems to be the consensus on twitch as well.:brofist:
Plus you add in Trace getting fired on Friday and it's all starting to make sense.

[Hyzenburg]

Manson must have gotten a really good offer from somewhere else.

[roblas77]

Trust me guys, this is ALL Donna's doing. Always has to be one step ahead of everyone. I doubt Mike doesn't want to be there, it's all on her. Her on the spectrum retarded son got fired (finally) because I fucked up one too many times and then some. What a constant fuck-up. Donna must've smoked some heavy reefer or something before she had him. I don't know what the story is there because the other two kids seem normal.

Trace is pretty dumb but he is funny sometimes. His real problem is that his parents have let him get away with everything and there's never any consequences. As tough as Bubba tries to make Donna to be, she's just a big softy when it comes to her dumb ass son. If they stopped babying him all the time, he would have to grow up.

[FishMuskys]

So Brian was on for most of the show today? Not a word from you guys.

Brian will be on the show tomorrow mornin' too? Again, not a fuckin' word from you guys.

Quit being marks for Bubba's demise. Sounds like some funny shit goin' on.

Brian is great on the show. Yes he is in this morning. In my opinion, this has been his best week of shows in a long, long time. I don't know what the behind the scenes is with Manson, but it was stupid for him to not go in. If nothing else, this week has really proven how little Manson provides to the show. And the whole Ned bit got tired long ago. If I were Bubba, I would NEVER bring Manson back in. Use that money and throw a couple bones at Lasker and Brian to come in every few days and you're all set.

[Amigo]

Next week is . . . . . . . TRIAL WEEK!!!!!

Finally.

Next week is . . . . . . . TRIAL WEEK!!!!!

Or is it?

From talkers.com:

The Tampa trial of morning radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge (he’s being sued by Nielsen Audio for $1 million for causing damage to the company for allegedly tampering with that market’s PPM panel) has a date. If you remember, the trial was supposed to start on April 2 but was postponed at the last minute. The new trial start date is June 18

[FishMuskys]

hahaha

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

I sleep in and miss one show and all the action happens. :lol:

Now I suppose you're gonna tell me the trial doesn't start today?:lol:

Nielsen dropped the charges. It was all a setup from the start.:lol:

Gene Lasker told me personally that he advises against powder coating Yeti tumblers because when you put them in the oven to bake, it damages the inner liner and will no longer hold ice for long periods of time. He'll do them but only if the customer insists. :howboutthat:

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

So there ya go, Twitch was on to something the other day when they said Manson was mad that Trace was let go because he missed his show two Fridays ago and that he was working for free. Little by little it makes more sense.

[Amigo]

Is it known exactly why Manson was off all last week?

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Is it known exactly why Manson was off all last week?

They didn't explain why, but in my opinion he took the week off to cool down and not make any drastic decisions after everything came to a head two Fridays ago. He probably sat home with Donna and went over the pros and cons of staying on the show and decided to come back.

I have to say, in the 1.5 days he's been back he and Ned have barely even been on air. To me, it sounds like he's out of it.

[The Butler]

Morning marks.

So, Manson (and Donna?) got majorly upset because Bubba fired Trace for missing a show. With a big factor being that Trace is an unpaid contributor, due to budget constraints.

I wonder how much MÃ*nson gets paid...

I don't listen to Cluster F, but it's been reported that Bubba went on air with them and there was noticeable heat, so my guess is that letting Trace go after him doing so much for free was the final straw.

It's anyone's guess what Manson is pulling down these days, but I can't image it's anywhere near what he was making when they were riding high. Then again he isn't doing the work he used to do so I'd say his current pay is on par with his workload.

[Amigo]

Sounds like the problem is not resolved. Bubbs is kicking the can down the road, speculating that if he wins the trial, he will somehow have the wherewithal to convert Trace to an employee.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

I find it hilarious that he really thinks:
A) He thinks he's gonna win this trial.
B) He thinks that when he wins all these stations are gonna magically come out of the woodwork and throw crazy amounts of money at him for syndication.


This is the guy that uses prime time radio to beg for office and cleaning supplies and can't even afford pest control to take care of his rat infestation.

[Amigo]

I also don't think Bubbs can win the Nielsen case. But I don't see why he could not work out a settlement and just consider it a cost of doing business. Maybe.

But if Manson is and continues to be disaffected...well, that's a BIG problem.

BUT....it might generate some cool content. Can you imagine Bubba and Manson at each other's throats--on the air!

Here's the thing, NEILSEN DOES NOT WANT TO SETTLE, THEY WANT TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF THE SPONGE!
They've come this far, it is getting seen through. They will get their pound of flesh. Plus what the hell is he gonna settle with? He's broke in case you haven't noticed. :lol:

Manson and Bubba fighting on air wouldn't happen imo, Manson will walk off before that happens. He's a mealy mouth pussy who's afraid of confrontation if you haven't noticed.:mansonlol:

[Amigo]

Nielsen does want to make BTLS an example to others. I can see that. But corporations like as much certainty as they can get. Nielsen can have its example by making Bubbs cop a plea. And Bubbs could get some relief on the potential judgment amount--and some payoff terms.

[Dr_Jeckyll]

Bubba is also a pussy, what about that guy that flew in to fight him & he hide in the studio, that's not dealing with confrontation.

I totally see what you're saying but this is principle at this point for them I would think. They were made fools of and their proprietary equipment and algorithms were tampered with and they have to send a clear message that they take this serious and will deal with offenders accordingly. They had several chances to mediate a settlement early on and the media used the term "worlds apart" I believe as to where there were with a $ number.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Bubba is also a pussy, what about that guy that flew in to fight him & he hide in the studio, that's not dealing with confrontation.

True, but verbally when there is absolutely no chance of physicality he will I would think, especially on air where he could draw some content from it. In real life though, on the street, hell no cuzzy. Plus he'd probably just shoot someone, he is after all looking for a clean shoot.:lol:

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

This Hogan vs. COX, Et Al trial could quite possibly be the best one ever!

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

C'mon Bubba, don't pretend like you were a team player when your were at Cox. You weren't Cuh.:lol:

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

To the casual listener Bubba makes a strong case about the demise of his career being based around the Hogan sex tape. But to the long time listeners there are definitely alternate reasons as to why he is where he is right now.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Bubba - "Me and Hogan haven't talked since the day this, you know we can't talk...

Why can't you talk to Hootie Bubba? :bigthink:

[Dr_Jeckyll]

That's a good question, maybe Hootie don't want to talk to him anymore at all.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

That's a good question, maybe Hootie don't want to talk to him anymore at all.

I don't think that's the case or else he would have said "Hogan doesn't want to talk to me anymore" not that they couldn't speak, don't you think? There are some conspiracy theories (floating around here mostly) that those two are in cahoots. Think about it, why was Bubba able to be let off the hook for only $5k at the beginning of all this?:bigthink:

Also remember when Bubba was called into court doing the Gawker trial and he pled the 5th so he didn't either perjur himself by lying and saying Hootie didn't know he was being taped or ruined Hogan's case by telling the truth and saying he did in fact know he was being filmed...

[Dr_Jeckyll]

You have a good point there.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

You have a good point there.

Some of us think this is a well orchestrated "long con" where at least Bubba, Hogan and Spice all originally were working together and when the payday wasn't as high as they hoped it went sideways and Calta somehow got involved.
Do you remember years ago Bubba used to say several times a show "Hey Brent, what's the best way for a celebrity to become relevant again? And Brent would say "leak a sex tape Bubba!"
Just like when he would ask Brent several times a show "Hey Brent, what's a cuckold?" He can't help himself when it comes to stuff like this, at least in my opinion he can't.

[Amigo]

Bubbs is gonna try to call Cowhead Calta...

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Bubbs is gonna try to call Cowhead Calta...

Lame as usual.:rolleyes:

That Garabo drop "Calta gets syndicated because of this, in a year he'll be on in Atlanta..."
Is one of the most hilarious lines I've ever heard on radio.:rofl:

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Quit while you're ahead tubby.

[Amigo]

Calta: "I have no involvement" re Hogan sex tape.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Calta: "I have no involvement" re Hogan sex tape.

That's hilarious. That guy is as delusional as Bubba thinking his career will be resurrected once his Neilsen case is resolved.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Steeeeerike three, you're out fatman. Please, stop embarrassing yourself.

[Amigo]

Calta cannot talk publicly about the sex tape. Cox corporate orders.

He's squirming.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Calta cannot talk publicly about the sex tape. Cox corporate orders.

He's squirming.

Of course he can't talk about it. Plus, what benefit would it be for him to bring it up?

[Amigo]

If Calta cannot/will not talk about it, then it's a rib to try to get him to do so.

And a good rib is good content...

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

If Calta cannot/will not talk about it, then it's a rib to try to get him to do so.

Perish the thought that we engage in debate around here....:jj:

Perish the thought that we engage in debate around here....:jj:

You know I love the banter but imo he looks pathetic and desperate when he calls Calta and you think the opposite. I don't think either of us are gonna see the other's points so it would be useless.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Wtf is this "Holly Hood" update? Turrible:suicide:

[Amigo]

Actually, I think it could be VERY embarrassing for Bubbs to go live on live with Cowhead. I am kind of surprised he calls because Calta manhandled him so badly previously.

It's a good sign that Bubbs is willing to try--he is risking another bashing.

Whatever the outcome of the calls.....it's good content.

hahaha Bubba got the Twitter marks keyed up as fuck. The stupid shit people waste their time on amazes me.

[FishMuskys]

hahaha Even on a Sunday mornin'. What kinda obsessed weirdos have Bubba on their mind first thing in the mornin'? It does make for funny reading while taking a shit.

[FishMuskys]

They are still at it. :lol:

Every time I checked...Bubba's Twitter was on fire.

[FishMuskys]

Happy Birthday, Bubba!

Bubbs is getting old....

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

I got nothing on your post there Amigo...

Edit: just saw your correction.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

When Calta said "I heard there's a couple other sex tapes coming out..."

I think he was insinuating that the "other" tapes were the ones featuring Tony Stewart, Primetime and the like. Not the additional racist Hootie tapes.:idk:

[Amigo]

Call Calta!

Call Calta!

Call Calta!

Call Calta!

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

wow, Calta just bought a one million dollar house in Cheval? Either he knows something we don't or he's the dumbest guy on radio.:lol:

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Call Calta!

Call Calta!

Call Calta!

Call Calta!

:no::facepalm:

Spoiler alert, Cow won't go on air, he'll shoot off a couple insults that Bubba will repeat then he will hang up, or Carmen won't even let it get to that point and she'll just say the tired old, he won't go on with an AM radio person and hang up. Lame.

[Amigo]

Calta doesn't have a hair on his azz if he doesn't take Bubba's call...

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

What a compelling phone call! :rolleyes:

Cowhead ducked Bubbs again...

Shocker!!!

He'll never take another one of Bubba's calls again now that the news is out and the trial is looming.

[Amigo]

[Amigo]

Bubbs is about to play excerpts from Cowhead Calta's show...

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. IF BUBBA NEVER TAPED HOOTIE FUCKING HEATHER NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE EVER HAPPENED!!!

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

How have you "paid the price" on this whole deal Bubba?
- You paid Hogan $5,000 to get out of all future litigation.
- Your contract was not renewed with the Bone because your cost overrode what ad revenue was being brought in.
- You were let go from 98.7 because you were caught scamming the ratings and then wouldn't stop attacking Shmim Schumthery.

So again I ask, how exactly have you paid the price on this deal?:idk:

[Amigo]

Bubba is planning the '"Calta Burial".....

:munch:

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

He thinks he's gonna get back on the Bone if/when they fire Calta??? :crylol:

He's more delusional than I could have ever imagined, he legitimately sounds mentally ill.

50+ minute segment...terrific content...

:jj:

What are you getting at? I have not once ever said I don't listen. The show is a shell of its former self (I think even you agree with that) and it seems like the only good stuff on the show nowadays is legal drama, being either his or Hogan's.

Yah, I heard that. I think Bubbs is taking a risk in calling Calta. Cowhead could make Bubbs look REAL bad.

Unfortunately I think the days of Calta owning them on calls is over. He has absolutely nothing to gain and everything to lose at this point with the trial looming.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

This caller is on to something regarding the bubba/manson/trace heat.

[Amigo]

Bragging rights, Cap. More bragging rights is what he would gain...

[Chob]

He thinks he's gonna get back on the Bone if/when they fire Calta??? :crylol:

He's more delusional than I could have ever imagined, he legitimately sounds mentally ill.

Besides that, why would he want to if they’ve caused him so much shit?

If we’re talking pipe dreams, he should be sucking up to Ty Bailey and everyone else at 98 Rock and iheart.

Apparently Ty Bailey left. Point still stands.

[mhurd1776]

WOW, so it looks like the Waters clan hasnt done a Cluster F show since Mike has been back. If he loses Manson, its OVER!

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

WOW, so it looks like the Waters clan hasnt done a Cluster F show since Mike has been back. If he loses Manson, its OVER!

A couple of things, all in my opinion of course;
1) Donna's probably never coming back because of the Trace deal and as Donna goes so goes Cluster F.
2) I used to agree with the "If Manson leaves the show is over" adage...However him being gone that whole week surrounded by controversy and compare that to how nonexistent he's been since he's been back and take into account the show is already on its "last leg"(Bubba's exact words today) and I think the show in its current form could actually survive without him. Not to mention Bubba would stand to save a lot of payroll not having to pay him and that money could be used to bring Lasker and maybe to some extent the babyface in on a more frequent basis.

[mhurd1776]

Good points, i havent got to listen to todays yet. Frank has posted the damn show! Speaking of Trace I never heard a clear reason as to what happened. I know a week or so ago he was telling him if was late again or something he was fired, but then after Manson came back Bubba was spinning it as payment issue, so was there content on the show about what really went down or is it speculation?

This is the way it was explained; a couple weeks ago when they had Friday off Trace and Colton were supposed to do a show, but didn't, so he was fired. Bubba got mad and him, Manson and Donna talked about it, with their main point being "how can you be mad at someone providing free content?". Add in the fact there was already pre-existing heat as explained when Bubba made an appearance on Cluster F and the word was (I'm paraphrasing because I don't listen) Manson took the week off to decide if he wanted to continue on. Hope that helps.

[Dr_Jeckyll]

I am watching from Twitch & the chat is literally dying because people speak their mind & Bubba has them blocked from it to silence them, isn't that going to lower subs?

[Amigo]

Bubbs says he is contemplating whether he will sue somebody (Mike Calta? Matt Loyd?, Cox Media?) over the Hogan Heather sex tape...

He's also appealing to major Calta advertisers by name to reconsider their support of his show...

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

So he made the Twitch chat subs only huh? Must be a lot of "hate" from the non subscribing "trolls" I guess.:rolleyes:

I have a question, I know Twitch is the shiny new object, but why is he putting so much credence into 900 or so people and for the most part ignoring the thousands of regular listeners?

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Hey Amigo, I have another question. You're a level headed, critical thinking kind of person from what I can gather from our pervious conversations. Please answer this for me, because for the life of me I just don't understand. Bubba keeps saying, "once these cases are resolved, we will be back on top" how is that possible? He's gonna lose the Neilsen case (I think we all agree there for the most part) so how's that gonna help his radio career? Also when Calta, et al. all lose, once again, how does that help him? I'm drawing a complete bank here. Thanks in advance.

Seems to me he's committed to trying some new approach. The Twitch effort is basically prototyping, with a big effort required and low short term returns. Clem's was like that too.

Bubbs is trying. He knows the old songbook will not produce a hit anymore...

[Amigo]

... Bubba keeps saying, "once these cases are resolved, we will be back on top" how is that possible?

Well, if he loses the Nielsen case, I don't see a path back to "the top." He'll be tabbed as a cheater, and a clumsy one at that. I think he loses the case and will have to pay a judgment, which he will try to do. And then he'll limp along with a weak flagship broadcast reach situation. One which will not be capable of getting him back "on top." BTLS would prolly just fade away.

I did read an article posted by, I think, Butler, which raised the possibility that Nielsen's star witness had some potential credibility problems and might not show up. That, to me, means Nielsen is not a lock. If Bubbs manages to eke out a win....well, he will likely have more commercial viability. And he could market his show with more positivity.

With respect to the Hogan case, Bubbs is thinking that a successful Hogan suit against the defendants will weaken Cox in a scandalous case in the Tampa market. Simultaneously, Calta's culpability in a hefty judgment against Cox would result in Calta being damaged goods. To the point that he could no longer dominate the Tampa market. Calta might be hit with big judgement himself. He might even be sacked. The main thing, since BTLS CANNOT now beat Calta, would be that Calta's competitive potential is reduced and Bubbs could then market his show to a better FM platform.

I think this part of Bubba's thinking is logical. It may sound somewhat desperate but it seems very possible, given some of the revelations of defendants' behavior today.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Thanks Amigo, that's exactly what I was looking for:brofist:
My new thoughts...
Twitch, you're exactly right, honestly I'm surprised it has lasted this long. Still, it's not a long term deal I don't think. I also found it funny that Manson is now doing Cluster F on Facebook live. Interesting considering they have all the infrastructure set up for Twitch/IO, maybe it's a subtle F you to Bubba?
On Neilsen, again I don't think he wins, even with the potential witness not showing. They already have his testimony and evidence discovered during the depo. I think he loses and it bankrupts him and he's branded a pariah in radio. He may flounder around for a while, but once the weight of having to pay that giant judgment and no one touching him in radio I think he finally wraps it up. Also, didn't he already fully admit wrongdoing on tv?
Regarding Calta, yeah I can see him losing, costing CMG a fortune and being let go and also no longer being able to continue in radio. Interesting he would buy a one million dollar home right now with this potential life changing lawsuit looming. Some have speculated he bought it to shield it from legal judgment based on FL homestead laws, if so, very smart on his end. But ok, he's out of radio, I don't see how that helps Bubba for the reasons listed above. Bubba's case starts next month so by mid June/early July we should know his fate.

[Chob]

I think the chance to be "back on top" died when talks with 98 Rock ceased to occur and he went with the Beasley folks and the vanity format. Mind you, I thought the format was cool, different and anything that breaks out of increasingly rigid radio formats is a good thing as far as I'm concerned.

When the Beasley shitcanned that format and watered things down I knew that Bubba's WBRN days were numbered.

No, this was on Cinco de Mayo and it was at a hotel in St. Pete where they were staying after heavily drinking and partying at a station sanctioned event.

[Amigo]

Bubbs says he will explain what's up with the Trace situation.

Trace and Colton might be coming back. Maybe.

[Amigo]

According to the man, Trace is back on the show mid to late June. Two or 3 days a week.

Bubbs called Tuddle and offered him 20 hours/week, including Buds and Suds.

Colton is a maybe...

It's almost time for the trial, anyone have any changes in their feelings about it or is it the same?

[Amigo]

No change for me. Bubbs will lose at trial. He done bad and he supplied substantial evidence of guilt.

But I see a settlement in the offing.

[Amigo]

Abruptly, Bubbs left the show about 20 minutes early today, ordering Garguilo to play The Boston Bitches to fill the time.

Anybody know why he took an early quit?

[FishMuskys]

So the BTLS Foundation donated nine bullet-proof vests for the Manatee County K9's? That's pretty damn cool!
