Bubba the Love Sponge Thread

[Chob]

If Frank feels like moving up here, I know of an open position for him.

And I'm only half joking. I wish him the best and hopefully he ends up somewhere with competent people in charge.

I know I'm a broken record on this, but I can't help but wonder how serious the talks with iheart were.

Not only could Bubba have had his uncensored channel on there, and he really could've developed his online presence with people with the know how and massive reach iheart have, but tying into his recent woes, he'd have a lot more engineering support and might not even have to pay out of pocket for it.

Now I get why, going back to the Sirius days, he has his own studio removed from any of his employers/affiliates. But I think, if he was able to find a company to put him on FM radio in Tampa and believe in him again, it would benefit him greatly to do the show in house. He could cut costs big time, salvage what he could use from the current studio, sell off what he can't use equipment wise, sell the actual building and work on being a team player and avoid the politics of what caused his issues with other people at Cox.

It would be a humbling experience for him, but if said theoretical radio company gave him a chance, I think it would help him cut out some distractions and bullshit and focus on rebuilding his brand.

Is this a live show?

[Amigo]

Yes, it's live.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

See Amigo, perfect example right there. This guy sends them info on how to be successful in podcasting and of course Bubba blows him off, then realizes he's probably right and tries to get the guy to do all the work and then maybe pay him after the fact. That's one of the reasons why he's done. Once again, it's not rocket science here folks. You don't pay your people and this is what happens. Bubba the days of radio interns and others working for free are for the most part done.

[Amigo]

So, Cap, you're saying that the situation is hopeless for ole Bubba?

Peaches shit all over the BRN...literally!

I think we can all agree he's been dead in the water for years now, getting by on name recognition alone.

The prognosis is not good.

Bubba needs another hog deal...

Unfortunately this upcoming Neilsen case will not yield the same results as the hog deal, if anything it will probably hasten his exit out of radio. I know Fish thinks he will be exonerated but he already admitted guilt on live TV, during a press conference he set up. He's also already tried to settle (which to me also shows guilt in this case) with them and they said no. This one is not gonna end well for the Sponge. I'll bet my entire v-cash fortune on it.

[FishMuskys]

He did cheat. But much like a cop giving you a joint and then arresting you for possession...he was set up.

Happy Friday ev'rybody!

Any Frank update?
