- 2:29minutes of you talking again and then our reaction then of
- 2:32course, that's perfect. And I love your glass, I guess
- 2:38when we actually make the call in, I'll keep the mic hot and
- 2:41all but I'm gonna get rid of the earbuds so I'm focusing hearing
- 2:43so we'll be able yeah year each other other than through the
- 2:46call. Yeah we won't wear.
- 2:47Yes, exactly. We're not going to hear it.
- 2:49We won't hear each other but the good thing with having a video
- 2:52with us being both being on videos, we're gonna both be
- 2:55listening and I can Can point it you or you can point it me or
- 3:00you know, we can still point and, you know, you know we're
- 3:06something. It was like the Bubba, the Love
- 3:16Sponge, there we go, on YouTube. Maybe I should just highlight
- 3:21that video because that is just to the doing here and there's
- 3:25traffic coming from Video, you want to do any pre talk, before
- 3:30we get ready to do the show at all, so you're going to be the
- 3:33one when we call in. I mean, what are you, what are
- 3:36you going to say? What are you thinking?
- 3:37You're going to say when we get right on the air now, man, I'm,
- 3:45you know, I'm just going to jump right in and, you know, just
- 3:47like, I'll brother this is, you know, awesome to be here.
- 3:49I mean, it was so cool last week to get the call and I probably
- 3:53get right into how we even found out, you know what I mean?
- 3:56Like, I'm in a hospital. I'm working dude.
- 3:59I think that's listener Here. Local.
- 4:00That's the story. It is a, you know, I think that
- 4:03I think just that was organic, we just tell the story.
- 4:06How the hell did you guys end up?
- 4:08How am I interviewing you? Why am I interview?
- 4:11You know what I mean? Well, this is how it happened,
- 4:14you know? But my first idea was to jump in
- 4:18talk about how we even found out like, right, because it's we're
- 4:21on the show, we're a small podcast and then suddenly and
- 4:23then talk about how even the show came about, you know, like
- 4:27hey this The show we talked about doing a show on radio host
- 4:29we've never done one last minute had to change it up from what
- 4:33we're going to talk about condiments and we went from
- 4:37condiments to Bubba the Love Sponge and you never know man.
- 4:41I sure as hell didn't think that a throwaway show.
- 4:44Not a throwaway show but just a we're gonna get a damn show done
- 4:48today by God, we've had too much adversity we can we've had too
- 4:52much adversity? Oh yes, all kinds of stuff,
- 4:55power cords. Something tonight, no matter
- 5:00what. And then just before we go on, I
- 5:03said, look, I got a feeling. This is gonna be the best show
- 5:05we've ever done. Boom!
- 5:07Here we are. Next thing you know, here we are
- 5:09above the Love Sponge the rocky of radio.
- 5:13I never really listened to a lot of the shock jock radio and that
- 5:16type of stuff for morning drives and stuff.
- 5:21That just not really my deal. I listen to Sports Talk Radio
- 5:24which is what I've if I listen to any kind of radio Oh
- 5:27programming. That's how I still listen to
- 5:29Sports Talk Radio, so I never really listened to the shock
- 5:32jocks. His much, your Walton and
- 5:34Johnson's your Bob. And Tom, those kind of guys, you
- 5:38know, I love I have a lot of respect for them.
- 5:40I don't know how they do it. Every day.
- 5:42Those morning zoos in the wild side like, I don't know.
- 5:45I that's unbelievable, dude. How do they come up with a
- 5:48four-hour show Day? Live day out and it's live,
- 5:53That's correct. It's really, it's really
- 5:54unbelievable. I was sitting here thinking
- 5:55about that this morning going. This is crazy.
- 5:58He does this every single day coming out of a break going into
- 6:02another segment and it's like they just continue to believe do
- 6:05this day in and day out. Well, you know, it's like I was
- 6:09we talked about doing that show about, you know, favorite radio
- 6:13host, you know, I mean like of over your lifetime of my top
- 6:16three. So as a kid dude, I love Paul
- 6:19Harvey his delivery is Like, you know, he kind of so good on the
- 6:25edge of your seat, just waiting for.
- 6:26It is going to say next. And then you waited to hear the
- 6:28rest of the story at the end, which was always right nominal,
- 6:32and that's what you really waiting on.
- 6:34And so, as a kid that, that was my guy.
- 6:36And then after I graduated college, I went to move to
- 6:41Pensacola Florida and that's when I found this is 1999.
- 6:43I found Jim Rome and do roam like that and I became just like
- 6:48a huge. Huge, you know, jungle guy, you
- 6:52know. Listen to Rome, I still listen
- 6:53to wrong like an he and he kind of has that same delivery kind
- 6:57of reminded me of Paul Harvey. Had those break.
- 6:59Sometimes I turn my radio up. Think I lost him and he's like,
- 7:03yeah, yeah. Oh God, he's not done.
- 7:05You know, he's just in thought. So yeah.
- 7:07Then the third one was really was Bubba the Love Sponge and
- 7:09that when I moved to Tampa in 2011, those are kind of the
- 7:12three people like cost. Of course, Paul Harvey rest in
- 7:16peace is no longer here but like Jim Rome and Bubba the Love
- 7:19Sponge for like the last two people that I really seek out
- 7:22and listen. To you know like so and I listen
- 7:25to a lot of other stuff but those are consistent but we are
- 7:2712 minutes and can we go on bubba?
- 7:30The loves real. It's live live Man, legend of
- 7:34radio. I mean, this guy's done, it all
- 7:37hands down the most controversial guy, and all of
- 7:39radio in the country. I mean, he's been with Sirius XM
- 7:43had his own show. They're under Howard Stern.
- 7:45I mean, didn't piss people off there and they've ran his ass
- 7:48out of there. Not because he wasn't good, just
- 7:50because he's Bubba, Man. And He has that hog trials and,
- 7:56you know, being find a million bucks.
- 7:59But dude, you know, into the Hogan sex tape.
- 8:02Scandal the Nielsen ratings scandals, like, but this dude,
- 8:07never quit somebody beat him back.
- 8:10He calls his, you know, a lot of his own problems are
- 8:13self-inflicted, but some of them are not, you know what I mean?
- 8:16So, he kind of gets a little bit of a bad rap as a bad guy.
- 8:19He's actually a good dude. It's really exactly.
- 8:22Jacques. That's what he's supposed to do,
- 8:23right? He just took it to another level
- 8:25and people couldn't handle it. I put into chat GP T.
- 8:29I said his Bubba, the Love Sponge controversial and and it
- 8:34came back good. It was this great explanation
- 8:38and it was like, you know, going on like yes he talked about like
- 8:42all is controversies and ever so but one thing about Bubble of
- 8:45sponge, he is persistent and he is a fighter.
- 8:48He always finds a way to come back and they do absolute great.
- 8:51It is what they are told. But it's true.
- 8:53That's really kind of the that's the thing that's really like the
- 8:57people. If you're a current fan, you
- 8:59get, you know the story, you understand it and you see the
- 9:01resiliency and them you see his persistence, he never quits.
- 9:04That's from an like an inspiration standpoint.
- 9:07Now I know he's not that's not the point of this show it's a
- 9:10fun show but like there is inspiration in that like dude no
- 9:13matter what don't stop. I think new listeners can also
- 9:17gravitate towards that. You know what I mean?
- 9:18It's like, hey don't quit. Just never gives.
- 9:21I have a lot of respect. I have a A lot of respect for
- 9:23that. He won't quit.
- 9:24You know, that that. And he's and listening to him
- 9:27and prep for this. And and some of the most recent
- 9:31shows, he's absolutely making a comeback.
- 9:35He's been on Howard Stern, lately.
- 9:37I mean, he's making it known that he is trying to get back as
- 9:40big as ever. And now that he has Twitter back
- 9:42now that Baba has Twitter, coincidentally happens on the
- 9:46day that we come on board with all of this stuff which is just
- 9:49even crazier. You know, Bubba is going, he's
- 9:54going to be back, he's going to be back on top and I have no
- 9:58doubt about that until he possibly does something to get
- 10:02in his way once again and it screws it all up.
- 10:06But I want to watch. I want to see if that happens.
- 10:09And I'm happy to be a little bitty little bitty minut part of
- 10:14this story. It's crazy.
- 10:17Hey, it's part of the Intrigue. It's part of why you watch this?
- 10:20What you listen But I'm always rooting for him, and I found
- 10:23myself when I saw, he was some things were happening.
- 10:27I could, I've been in the car. No ball, no, no Bubba.
- 10:31Don't go there. Just leave it alone, man.
- 10:34You know, this is not going to be good.
- 10:35Yeah, he can't help himself, sometimes brutally honest is
- 10:39what he is with zero filter and I love that.
- 10:43I love that about him and he's so unpredictable and he's so
- 10:47unpredictable that like he doesn't even know what no.
- 10:50Yeah to do now sometimes he's Smart like but sometimes he
- 10:53changes his mind rapidly and that's what even makes it
- 10:57crazier. You know it's like this could go
- 10:59one way or another and it's a basically a tall junctures you
- 11:02know we have no idea what could what could happen in this
- 11:08interview that we're about to do.
- 11:09It could get no, no, he could pass solutely.
- 11:12Want us out in 60 seconds and say get the hell out of my show
- 11:15or he could love us and we could be on there for an hour and it's
- 11:17somewhere in between that I'm hoping that I think that'd be
- 11:20great opportunity minute. It's the oh yeah, for sure but
- 11:23I'm feeling okay, you know. So and I won't hate him if he if
- 11:27he hits a buzzer, you know, and he doesn't have a buzzer, but I
- 11:30mean, if he cuts off, I'll just yeah.
- 11:31I'm gonna having like, well I knew what I was getting into.
- 11:34This is Bubba like I love him to death, be honest.
- 11:37I'm going to be a, I'll be a little disappointed in both of
- 11:40us if we get run from the show, but we'll come back.
- 11:45If we just like Bubba, if we do This ain't in.
- 11:50This ain't the end of the road for Tigs B.
- 11:52No we're just yeah. This is just the start.
- 11:54Y'all are just now starting to know who we are.
- 11:56We haven't even loosened up and become ourselves yet.
- 12:00Here we are, you know we're five minutes away from our lives
- 12:04changing its called Hey, this is Chad Boise with ticks B.
- 12:14Good man. How you doing?

- 12:43This is Chad Brantley. Yep.
- 12:45Hey wait what you got? Why did you guys hang up man, we
- 12:49lost you. Look down, I'm talking to
- 12:51Brantley and I look down at my phone and I was like, first of
- 12:54all second call here anymore Horse.
- 12:56By the way, this is Chad, we don't even have to talk.
- 12:58Brantley. We can hang up on him if he
- 13:00does. He doesn't know what a shame.
- 13:01He doesn't even know anything about the show.
- 13:03You were having to tell him how cool the show us.
- 13:05So don't want that johnny-come-lately.
- 13:06Just try to get up on your up on your own.
- 13:08You, I mean, Chad, you're the one that is the person I want to
- 13:11talk to not Brantley Brantley wanted to listen to, who was his
- 13:14favorite guy. I forget.
- 13:16Bradley, who did you say? Was your must listen to.
- 13:19Well, I love Conan O'Brien. Bob and I agree, totally.
- 13:22I told Chet. I look, I know, I told you that
- 13:25this I said, Bubba doesn't want to talk to me, man.
- 13:28Yeah, but but I'm honored to be talking to you, bubba.
- 13:32I really am. So, thank you, that Chad's, the
- 13:34star of the show. Let's just be honest, I mean,
- 13:38you're a pretty good host Brantley, but Chad's Country
- 13:40Bumpkin, and then that chick that he's rolling around with.
- 13:42That's what's taking everybody to the dance?
- 13:44Come on, let's be honest with each other.
- 13:46Absolutely agree. Absolutely Riyadh.
- 13:48Who is it, Chad? Who was that chick that you were
- 13:50with at the ball game? Now that's my fiance, that's
- 13:53Amanda, man. My lord, it's Above the Rim
- 13:55action right here all day. Like that's why I came in and
- 14:00hit you with that hot chick, Willie on the back side.
- 14:02After we got your attention. It was she was unbelievable,
- 14:05great selection. So anyway, great life.
- 14:07Um, let me just give everybody just a little what we're talking
- 14:10about here that just shows you how unconventional our show is
- 14:13because you know, usually we would have a big-time star like
- 14:16Tony Mann and richer Brett Favre or something.
- 14:19But we even have guys like Chad and Brantley who are not stars
- 14:22but are trying to do the best they can putting together.
- 14:25Some content Chad is a fan of the show.
- 14:28Oh and some organic. Buy some organic measure.
- 14:31I was on YouTube or something. I think somebody sent me a link
- 14:35and said someone sent it to you. Yeah.
- 14:36Somebody sent me a link somehow and be like, hey, this dude
- 14:39right here is got a podcast, a kind of a small podcast
- 14:43nonetheless but he could have picked a million people as to
- 14:47who his favorite radio guy was. And he picked you, and it's
- 14:50really refreshing because usually, everybody's telling you
- 14:53house much, you suck, and you know, how much you've changed,
- 14:56and you've lost it all and you're a fat ass and your No,
- 14:58you're a loser and, you know, and to have like some regular
- 15:02dude that just organically knows about the show.
- 15:06And then War, we'll talk about it on his little show at just
- 15:10really took me back and especially, you know, a lot.
- 15:14Well, and here's the thing us, I'm just going to play the
- 15:17little 25 second clip. I wish I had the other clip
- 15:19below me. Lost it because he's stupid, but
- 15:22this is the clip that got my attention on the last.
- 15:24Hold on. This dude's great, like you just
- 15:26talking, you know, you got crazy guest on.
- 15:28On great friends with Hulk Hogan.
- 15:30Then this radio War started happening between afternoon guy.
- 15:34Baba, you let Hulk Hogan have sex with his wife and it was
- 15:37recorded and then the dude and afternoon stole that information
- 15:42and then published it, that was that Hulk Hogan sex tape.
- 15:44So Hulk Hogan ends up making a hundred million dollars bubble
- 15:47gets run out of the radio. I mean to I like them already
- 15:51and j.j., you're my lawyer and your dirt, my lawyer, during all
- 15:55that. And this guy this guy is one of
- 15:57the very Few, that really gets it.
- 16:01What? Summed it up and 35 seconds.
- 16:02Yeah, I mean I should have hired you Chad to be my lawyer because
- 16:05I mean you summed it up in 35, second, can we use that as the
- 16:07pr statement? And so I, and I've been ups and
- 16:12I get ribbed about it a lot. I got a lot of the fans and
- 16:14everybody's like, oh God, here's Bubba talking about, you know.
- 16:17Yeah, we got it but to hear somebody on a actually do
- 16:22comprehend. What?
- 16:22I've been trying to say, right, I do.
- 16:24Make feel Valor gets it. So Chad, I was just like so, So,
- 16:28taken back that I that I am your favorite show and you were guys,
- 16:33were talking about it on your on your podcast deal and I don't
- 16:36know, I just kind of turned like into a little Fanboy.
- 16:38I turned into a Chad Fanboy, like a little bit.
- 16:40How many times you watch that clip Bubba on my Twitter?
- 16:53Are your favorite? Well, I Herme.
- 16:55This is a little hairy. This is the whole thing in its
- 16:57entire chair. You're going to I mean, I've
- 17:01become such a fan boy for this guy that I follow him on
- 17:04Twitter. And I knew he took his hot
- 17:05fiancee to the ball game on Saturday.
- 17:07So I'm talking Carney to you, though, he knows your language
- 17:09too. So listen to this is this is
- 17:11the, this is the entire clip, right here.
- 17:14Listen us different, right? So this is more of a radio
- 17:17personality, but he got driven to Twitch and YouTube because of
- 17:23his outlandish Behavior. I should say.
- 17:26I shouldn't say Behavior, I should say.
- 17:28Like the things that he was involved with are so crazy, like
- 17:32it was too much for radio. And so, this is a guy named
- 17:35bubble of. I need a hires guy for an agent
- 17:38because I do too much for radio and he's down in Tampa, and he's
- 17:43from what I think Warsaw Indiana.
- 17:47Originally, he spent time with Howard Stern on that show and,
- 17:52you know, kind of learned under Howard became really good
- 17:54friends with Howard Stern and but he moved to Tampa.
- 17:58They just shot jock, right? So everything he did really, but
- 18:02he's such a dude. You should hire this guy to sink
- 18:05to seeing a country and western song about my show that song
- 18:08about you. Yeah, I mean, just just, just,
- 18:12just put a little honky-tonk music behind it and be a hit,
- 18:15but he was always pressing everything.
- 18:18So I moved to Tampa in 2011, so when I got there, he was on in
- 18:22the mornings, huh? And it was phenomenal.
- 18:24I was like this dude's great, like he isn't talking, you know,
- 18:27you got three was right. The know the radio work.
- 18:29Oh yeah, this goes right in the middle.
- 18:30The whole MJ thing is Chad character.
- 18:32He's got it all down man. He really does get on great
- 18:35friends and Hulk Hogan and he's just out there doing crazy stuff
- 18:40and then there was this guy in the afternoon a map, Mike Alta.
- 18:42They called cow head and it was like, man, I love this Tampa
- 18:46radio for morning drive to afternoon Drive.
- 18:49Yeah, I mean until kelter turned into a dick man, they had two
- 18:52big big huge shows. Like why would you change it,
- 18:56idiot? Great.
- 18:58Is ready, O War started happening between afternoon guy
- 19:02and Bubba and Bubba like had somehow like in his video
- 19:10footage in his house and tries to get through this.
- 19:13Listen, he let Hulk Hogan have sex with his wife and it was
- 19:20recorded. And then, dude, and afternoon
- 19:23stole that, it's not really sure he didn't say anything
- 19:26accusation all about Amy. That was like as artfully word
- 19:30of just came out from a lawyer A-Plus buddy.

- 19:55whole thing, 30 seconds, awesome, 100 million.
- 19:58Dollars bubble gets run out of the radio like because they
- 20:02thought he did it and it's like come to find out it took like
- 20:05two years investigate. This it was afternoon guy but
- 20:07afternoon guy got the morning job took over and then Bubba
- 20:12like double down and got another show and then get found guilty
- 20:16like tampering with like Nielsen ratings.
- 20:38To listen to the show completely out of radio what you drew we
- 20:45just kind of. So God, hold on.
- 20:46It was like, I feel terrible for the cat, you know, I mean he was
- 20:49could he such a dude's duties, show is so good and so
- 20:53intriguing. And it's like the guy you want
- 20:55to root for and you're like, but I had to find it on Twitch.
- 20:58The weirdest places, you know, seem like listen to him.
- 21:02But now he's back on radio. I listen to him on Florida, man,
- 21:05radio, and there's multiple there, VI, Tampa fingers,
- 21:08Orlando, there's Fort Walton. And luckily, I listened to 103.1
- 21:12and for a walk down here above every morning.
- 21:13Yeah, hi. So, he's building back but did
- 21:16he is like, I mean, like I said, Hulk got 100 million Bubba.
- 21:21Got ran out of radio and yeah that's it.
- 21:25He lost everything that's it. Did you can't help but love this
- 21:28guy, you know I mean he's just so entertaining.
- 21:31He's so good. He's so So real, but did he
- 21:34can't get out of him, you know, he can't get out of his own way.
- 21:40I mean, Chad really gently, Tom being there.
- 21:43My God, you know I mean so it makes you relate with him like
- 21:46sometimes you think like how close and life you come to like
- 21:49everything? Oh gosh everything could just
- 21:51fall apart and like like a Brantley, brantley's completely
- 21:54like man, whatever this guy sounds stupid but doesn't
- 21:57already but you got to listen to him and you got to search him
- 22:00out. A lot on.
- 22:00The dumbass Brantley comes up with talk about complete,
- 22:03opposites Conan O'Brien. Could I be any more that just
- 22:09shows you who's Polar use a little bit, soft Chad's, he's a
- 22:12country guy out there, he's tough, he's a real Brantley.
- 22:16Meanwhile, he kind of has like the Conan O'Brien softer, kind
- 22:18of deal. It's kind of what I'm thinking.
- 22:21Now, brantley's occasion, you know, he's, he's a good dude.

- 22:28turned him on to you and he's listening.

- 32:13I am sweating. I finally quit shaking.
- 32:17I'm not gonna lie. I was I was shaking.
- 32:20I was a little nervous man. I don't get nervous.
- 32:23For that. But that's the biggest radio
- 32:25show I've ever been on. And I've been on several, I've
- 32:27had a radio show. Well, you know, you said the
- 32:30first time we recorded, you know you're like your words exactly.
- 32:34You said I've been on radio, you've been on the radio, but
- 32:37this is something different. And I remembered thinking in my
- 32:39mind, I didn't correct you. I was like, I've never been on
- 32:41radio. I mean, I've always dreamed of
- 32:44being on radio, but I've never been on radio.
- 32:46But to me, I'm on the radio, right?
- 32:48I thought I was broadcasting to the entire world, which we were,
- 32:51if they were willing to listen, But we did it.
- 32:54We did it, man, we did it. We did it, we went for it.
- 32:58We went from a little baby podcast to just having fun too.
- 33:02We were just on a nationally syndicated radio show with a guy
- 33:07with hundreds of thousands of followers on social media.
- 33:11Dude, I am beyond grateful to Bubba.
- 33:12The Love Sponge for having us on.
- 33:15I'm beyond grateful to the Bubba Army for their their support.
- 33:20What? What fun we get.
- 33:23To have now with this show, this opens up so many doors for you
- 33:28and I to finally, really even let our true selves come through
- 33:32in this podcast that we do because we have people that want
- 33:37to talk to us. They, we have feedback.
- 33:40It's really nice to have a little bit of feedback.
- 33:42So that that's what we've been trying to get to man, to get to
- 33:46where we can grow and start to get feedback back from an
- 33:50audience, we have an audience now, It's a little weird.
- 33:55I'm not going to lie, we've been going for a year and a half,
- 33:57just the two of us casually talking and not really worrying
- 34:01about what anybody hears and we won't change that.
- 34:04That isn't going to change, we're not going to change one
- 34:07damn thing about the way that we do this show, except we want to
- 34:12engage more people, to be more involved in the show to wear
- 34:17this shows, like a community. You come to Tigs B, you come on
- 34:20a Thursday, you get your podcast, you're going to Get
- 34:23your social media clips from that show.
- 34:26I know that not everybody listens to the show Chad, you
- 34:29know, I know that not everybody is going to watch it.
- 34:31Was he saying, guys, make sure you put together some good
- 34:33Bradley, you're the brains behind the operation.
- 34:35Put don't put together some good shows now.
- 34:37Buddy. Don't screw it up.
- 34:38There's a lot of eyes on you but no pressure.
- 34:41I was born for this bro. Let's go.
