0:11
Blasi the one man MF and posse back with us.
0:32
Don't call it a comeback. Ladies and gentlemen, he is
0:41
bang. Let's go.
0:50
Oh man, what is going on brother?
0:53
Been a Dang minute, son. I look at the I got cobwebs and
0:56
stuff all over these Dang mics and stuff.
0:58
You don't see all this. It's been a minute.
0:59
I had to come and brush the dust off the Tigs bits.
1:02
The light is down, batteries are dead.
1:04
My own air light is dead. Like it's been a while since
1:07
I've been out here. My God, do we have a lot to talk
1:10
about. That's how this whole came came
1:12
about really is what. Did something?
1:15
Texted maybe a little something. Maybe just a little, a little
1:20
something's happened over the last few weeks.
1:22
Oh, man, Oh my God, it's been yeah, it's good stuff, man.
1:27
I'll tell you it's funny though, Tigs, we've been like, so I've
1:30
been listening to you and Jr. still and listening to
1:32
everything. I've just been, I've been busy,
1:33
dude. I've been super busy.
1:34
But it's funny. I find myself and I'm listening
1:37
to the podcast. Y'all start saying something,
1:41
I'm driving down the road and I'm talking out loud and I'm
1:44
thinking I'm chiming in with y'all and I'm like, dude, you
1:47
idiot, you're not there, you know, and I'm like, Oh yeah, one
1:49
time. And I'm like, dude, you're not,
1:51
you're just a listener now, dude, just sit back and relax.
1:55
But dude, it's been it's been fun listening to y'all, but I
1:57
really enjoyed the shows. That last podcast, y'all drop
2:00
was great, man. That that one last week was
2:02
fantastic, dude, that I listened to it.
2:04
I actually listened to it on Apple.
2:05
I was driving. I listened to it on the podcast
2:07
instead of the the video sometimes, dude, that the, you
2:10
know, kind of imagining what you're saying, looking and
2:13
doing, you know what I mean? It is also super cool just to
2:15
listen to, you know, so. Yeah, you've watched me enough.
2:18
You know exactly what I'm doing and I'm animated with my hands.
2:22
Yes, you are. Yes, you are.
2:24
We've got. News but before we dive into all
2:27
of that, because I have a feeling that Blasey has a board
2:31
in front of him that we can't see that looks like a beautiful
2:34
mind and it has all things that are moving all over the place
2:37
and we're going to connect to all of the dots.
2:40
I have a feeling tonight and I look forward to it because when
2:45
we first had these conversations and Bubba first discovered us,
2:51
you told the story of of how it happened.
2:54
Now I really understand it a lot better just from the way you've
2:58
explained it. Listening to Bubba, of course,
3:01
but then the Brooke Hogan interview validated everything,
3:06
and that was the most amazing thing that I've ever heard
3:10
through Bubba of just what we've been doing.
3:12
Unbelievable, unbelievable man. It was, it was.
3:16
But before we do that, I wanted to ask how is work going?
3:19
How have things been going? Are you starting to get in a
3:22
groove? Yeah, man, not enough.
3:24
So. So work's going good, dude, you
3:26
know, and, and, you know, and, and I'm and I won't get all into
3:30
the to, you know, all this. There's there's no issue between
3:33
me, you Jr. My gosh, we're boys.
3:36
It just really came down to me. And I just started looking at my
3:39
time, my work schedule, my family schedule, like, and I had
3:42
to make time somewhere and you know what I mean?
3:44
So you got so you got to prioritize.
3:46
And as much as I love Tigs, bitch, you know, I mean, it was
3:48
time to, yeah, I got to focus on the job and one of my other
3:51
time, I got to focus on family and kind of bringing things in
3:54
here, you know what I mean? So, dude, I've just been busy.
3:57
I've been super busy. But I do.
3:58
Yeah. Things are going good, man.
4:00
You know, like our company's growing exponentially.
4:02
It's it's, it's it's, you know, it's a lot to keep up with, but
4:06
dude, it's good. You know, everything's good,
4:08
dude. At the house is good.
4:10
A man is good. The kids are good.
4:11
They're everybody's doing great, man.
4:13
We're just rocking along looking through the summer.
4:15
We got to travel a bunch this summer too, man, which was cool.
4:18
I was traveling from work and so there were a couple of times
4:21
we're able to, you know, where the boys were able to come with
4:23
us. And there were times where man
4:24
and I, she just traveled with me while I was there.
4:26
So in the evening, we still have some evenings time to do.
4:28
It was great, man. Got to go to Charleston, got to
4:30
go to down to Orlando, got to go over to, I was actually over in
4:35
Lafayette, not, not too far from me.
4:38
And so yeah, I was there a little while back.
4:40
So dude, it's been great. It's been good.
4:42
Just just busy, man. My boy's back I needed.
4:45
You yeah, this was this. This was definitely return
4:48
worthy. If I'm ever going to be able to
4:51
serve out some time, this is the time to do it, man.
4:55
I mean, I could not believe that interview.
4:57
I could not believe how I mean, the the information, obviously,
5:02
I mean, there's so much to unpack here, right?
5:04
But the information that, you know, that Brooke was able to
5:07
provide Bubba and and be able to go through that and, and just
5:11
talk about some of the things that she that Holt knew that he
5:14
didn't leak all the way back to the Pearl Hotel sting operation,
5:18
right? At least to there.
5:19
And then the fact that she acknowledged Bubba was right
5:22
this whole time about the medical issues.
5:24
And it's like, dude, it was it just a couple of words rang in
5:28
my head. It was it was validation for
5:31
everything he knew and it was also vindication, you know, for
5:35
man, just finally her taking that stress out.
5:38
I bet I mean I bet that was like 1000 LB gorilla coming off his
5:41
back to hear her say that, not him say that not you say that me
5:45
say that all the Bubba army that's Titan core and dude.
5:49
Since then, just to hear all these listeners that are now
5:52
coming back that just, you know, just didn't take Bubba at his
5:55
word, you know, just thought, no, he's a piece of crap.
5:57
You know, he did all this. He's just making up crap and
5:59
saying a bunch of stuff and like, no man, he didn't.
6:02
He didn't And and here we are, dude.
6:05
So it's this was definitely something to come back for, but
6:08
there's a lot of stuff inside all that man to kind of break
6:11
down. Get into this this.
6:14
Is going this is going to be good.
6:15
I got some, you know, I don't know some, I don't say theories,
6:19
but just what I believe to be true, you know what I mean?
6:22
So I guess the theory, but you know, it's just still like
6:24
there's some things inside. There's so much inside, so, so
6:27
many layers of this, you know, so.
6:28
Many damn layers, dude. And that's why I've been so
6:31
excited that that you were able to come on because I'm like, you
6:35
know, I mean, Jr. and I, we, we both feel and it's true and it's
6:39
OK. We don't have a problem with it.
6:41
But you're the insider. You're the Bubba Army insider.
6:45
We've been more than accepted by the Bubba Army and we are beyond
6:49
honored. But both of us talking about
6:52
this particular issue like it just doesn't do it justice, you
6:56
know? But haven't you?
6:57
Come on, baby. You know, Brooke Hogan comes on
7:00
the show, you know, and he hadn't talked.
7:02
Out of nowhere. Out of nowhere, he didn't even
7:04
think it was really her. You know, it was like someone
7:06
Brooke Hogan's on the phone was like, were you sure?
7:08
You know, like, let's see. And of course it was her.
7:11
And dude, she comes on there and she tells, all right, because
7:15
Bubba's also been telling everybody these reports on Hogan
7:18
and his health and everything else right after of what's
7:21
actually going on. And all the people around him
7:23
closest to him are telling a whole different story, that he's
7:26
fine, he's good, there's no problem.
7:27
And it's like, no, I think he's on his deathbed.
7:29
He's not doing well. So she comes in, she again, she
7:33
validates everything he's saying on that aspect and then drops
7:36
the major bombshell that, you know what, going back to the
7:40
sting operation in 2000, what was that 11:12 somewhere in
7:44
there during that sting operation when Hogan was being
7:48
extorted, when the first, before it even got leaked to Gawker,
7:51
they were trying to extort him and they went in and, you know,
7:54
and this when the FBI is involved and everybody, he told
7:56
Brooke, I know that Bubba didn't do this.
8:00
You know, Bubba didn't release the tapes.
8:02
It was part of his video surveillance.
8:04
An ex employee of his stole the tape and then it took it over
8:07
to, you know, Mike Alta. And so they're the ones that
8:11
actually did this. And Hogan knew it.
8:13
He told Brooke this, but Hogan never said a word, man, Never
8:17
said a word. Now that's that's still where I
8:21
I understand why he initially didn't, right?
8:23
He's in a big lawsuit. He's trying to get a big payday.
8:25
His attorneys are telling him, dude, you don't need to say
8:29
anything. You need to distance yourself
8:30
from this guy. I kind of get that right at the
8:32
time. But dude, he could have just
8:34
said, you know, Bubba boys, man. You know, like some somehow find
8:43
him, get a, you know, use a pigeon or whatever pigeon
8:48
carrier, get the word to like, hey Bubba, this is all legal
8:52
shit. I love you brother, but I'm
8:54
just, you know, I have to be something.
8:57
Somewhere and all that, dude, he's got to say that, you know,
9:01
so, but you know what? He didn't.
9:03
And then I know why he initially didn't do it.
9:05
And then but then later on, here's dude, here's the thing.
9:10
Hogan was a user of people, in my opinion, you know, like if
9:13
you look back at everything, even looking at the conversation
9:15
with his daughter, which I hate to say this, but like, dude, he
9:19
had bubble. He used bubble to be on his
9:21
platform to promote himself and put himself over.
9:24
And it was he was a take, take, take.
9:26
Now don't get me wrong, Bubble got a lot in return.
9:27
He got to get the rub again with Hulk Hogan, right?
9:30
So there's. Correct.
9:31
I mean, yeah. Absolutely.
9:33
I I get that. But you know, when all he had to
9:36
say is he didn't do it, he didn't sell it, he didn't, you
9:42
know what I mean? He could just said like 3 words,
9:44
right? And, and, and then and then
9:45
stepped away, never said anything else.
9:47
And Bubba probably doesn't get fired.
9:48
Bubba probably still would, would have never gone what he's
9:51
had to go through, you know, losing his house, losing his
9:54
studio, losing everything basically.
9:57
And but he didn't do that. And then even after Hogan gets
10:01
paid, you know, he's done with him now.
10:05
Bubba's got nothing to offer him, you know what I mean?
10:07
He's lost kind of his platform, you know, that he had before.
10:10
And so he just moved on and it was just easier in life.
10:13
So man, it just kind of tells me he's one of those kind of people
10:15
that can just, you know, once, once you're done with somebody.
10:20
Yeah, he's a user, dude. When he's done with somebody,
10:21
he's just done with them and doesn't have to even talk to him
10:23
again. It's like, dude, you could have
10:24
helped him so much with just like 3 words, 3 words.
10:28
That was, that was. Well, no, it's a good point.
10:31
And that was really revealed in that interview with Brooke
10:34
Hogan. And if y'all haven't heard it, I
10:37
know a lot of folks in the chat are listening, a lot of folks
10:39
that are going to be listening to this on Bubba Army.
10:41
Of course, you, you, you know, but some of the outsiders out
10:44
there that that that listen outside of this highly suggest
10:48
you go listen to it if you want to really like, what the hell
10:51
are they talking about? It's pretty much the entire,
10:55
everything that you would ever want to know is in that one hour
11:00
interview with her. But the thing that that really
11:04
shows that he was a user to me was the way that he treated her
11:08
with her record deal. And you know that.
11:11
Was man. You know that and I remember
11:13
when she first started coming in and she had a couple of songs
11:17
that were starting to be out on the radio, very poppy, trying to
11:20
kind of go along with the the Jessica Simpsons and Britney
11:24
Spears kind of vibes. And she had the look and
11:27
everything else like that. And they they were good.
11:29
They weren't bad at all. And then all of a sudden it just
11:32
like went away and you never heard from her again, like
11:36
musically. And that story was completely
11:42
explained in that in that interview.
11:45
Yes, she found out as well who was behind that in the
11:48
interview, in the interview with Bubba, because Bubba dropped
11:51
that bombshell on her. And and dude, that's why the
11:54
whole thing just in that interview, there's just so much
11:57
that was uncovered and so much that was revealed.
11:59
And it just, it's like, dude, there's a 180 shift on this
12:03
whole operation of who's the real bad guy here, You know,
12:06
like who's the real bad guy? And, and I'll tell you what, it
12:10
ain't Brooke and it ain't Bubba in my opinion and so.
12:13
It's a fact, and I think that's a fact.
12:17
Dude, Yeah, it's. Yeah.
12:18
But she started revealing everything about all that, and
12:21
Bubba started telling her that and she started revealing, you
12:23
know, about him trying to get her to walk her down the aisle.
12:26
And he doesn't. I don't.
12:27
Yeah, I don't. Yeah, I don't leave Tampa.
12:29
You know, it's like, really? That's your daughter, man.
12:31
I don't whatever, you know, if you're new wife doesn't like
12:34
her, I get that that's your daughter.
12:36
Go walk her down the aisle. You know what I mean?
12:37
Go over there, do do that, stay for the ceremony, leave.
12:40
And I'm like, I don't know, man, just the whole thing just really
12:44
cemented the fact of just how much you know that, that that
12:49
he's just such a user of people and how he could have just, I
12:53
don't know, man. He could have just said again,
12:55
he could have back to the Bubba deal.
12:57
He could have just said simply the tapes were stolen and that's
13:02
it, man. You could have never said
13:03
another word. And if Bubba is completely, you
13:07
know, let off vindicated, man. Completely, dude, it's all it's
13:10
all, it's OK. He really didn't do this because
13:12
nobody wanted to believe him because of his past of, of other
13:16
crazy things like killing a pig and a hog and all the sudden,
13:19
you know. But I mean, I get it, the shock
13:24
jock things come back to haunt him 100%.
13:28
But it's, it's a, it's a sad deal, but I think there's going
13:33
to be vindication. I don't think we're done with
13:36
the vindication of it, Big E said.
13:39
Big E said in the chat that that Bubba has a date on the
13:43
documentary, this documentary, which there were they saw Big E
13:48
saw it. I know that John Kostoka saw it
13:52
at the at BARP. They saw parts of it, maybe not,
13:55
you know, probably not the complete the the whole thing
13:57
completely, but at least saw what was happening.
14:01
And, and they, they have said like, dude, this, this is going
14:04
to be so good for Bubba for his side of the story.
14:07
Monstrous now that documentary is fan I just hope and I'm sure
14:11
they will because I heard they put finishing touches on you got
14:14
to now add this they saw. They saw all three episodes,
14:17
Biggie says. There you go.
14:18
Oh wow, I think you got to add this this ending to it like this
14:22
is like you could do a quick recap.
14:24
And sure, this is you. This is it.
14:27
Everything you just watched. Oh, by the way, this happened
14:29
after we filmed every bit of this boom.
14:31
Yeah, there needs to be 4 episodes now.
14:33
If there are three. We got to add a fourth one into
14:36
that because this is as big as it gets as far as what what poor
14:41
Bubba's had to go through for 15 years of having to deal with
14:46
this. You know, he was the one, he was
14:47
the scapegoat in the whole deal and he lost his wife out of it.
14:52
You know, too, like he lost everything from this of
14:56
something that was he didn't like you said at the very
15:00
beginning, he didn't do anything wrong.
15:03
I mean, you can agree or disagree of if you would do that
15:07
or whatever if the morals of the whole deal, but.
15:10
Yeah, yeah, that's a different conversation.
15:12
But that but that's between them, their consenting adults
15:17
and all of that and whatever I found it to be the the most
15:22
interesting thing because it's the one thing I've always said
15:26
and and throughout this whole deal is why the hell was it
15:29
being filmed? How was it being filmed?
15:33
And like, was it a a kind of a deal in the background of like,
15:38
I'm going to let you sleep with my wife and Oh yeah, brother.
15:41
And then like, I'm going to film it too?
15:44
No, that isn't really. That isn't kind of how that
15:48
whole deal played out. Explain how that whole deal came
15:52
about. Blasey.
15:55
Unlike with the tapes itself. Yeah, like with the tapes
15:58
themselves and why you kind of alluded to it at the top, but
16:01
let's go a little bit deeper of like why he has that because of
16:05
extortion and that kind of stuff.
16:07
Is what he what he was talking about with Smart?
16:10
I hadn't thought about that angle and makes total sense why
16:13
he would have it. Yeah, that and that's why you
16:15
had it in the first place, right.
16:16
It's it's so we had it there to protect himself, but then then
16:19
it turned into something. Hey, look, Bubble tell you like
16:21
I screwed up. I should have just gotten rid of
16:23
that and erased it. He should have, but he never
16:25
tried to disseminate it, right? He never tried to give that to
16:28
anyone else. Like so for whatever good, bad
16:30
and difference where you agree with that, there's the wrong
16:33
where he did is just by hanging on to it.
16:35
But he didn't go try to broker that thing.
16:37
He didn't go try to make money on that thing.
16:38
So, you know, it's it's it's it's it it again, he admitted
16:44
wrong to that, but he's not the one who did all this.
16:47
And then Brooke, to be able to come in and validate that for
16:49
him just was really just, you know, just so it's it's not him
16:52
saying and it's not all the people around him saying and it
16:55
is her saying it. And dude, I'll tell you what,
16:57
you know, to Brooke Hogan, she's sharp, dude, Like she's sharp as
17:00
a tack. You know what I mean?
17:02
I was. Impressed with her in that
17:04
interview. She spoke well, and I mean, not
17:06
that I didn't think that she did.
17:08
I remember it. It brought me back years ago
17:11
when she was on TV a lot and I was always impressed with her.
17:15
I always thought she spoke well, that she wasn't just some dumb
17:18
blonde girl, you know that pretty dumb blonde girl, that
17:22
that wasn't her. She's no, not at all.
17:24
No, she, she's smart and yeah, and I really truly believe her
17:28
that she would have kept the legacy and the and done like a
17:33
Selena kind of deal and all of that.
17:35
Kind of stuff 100 percent, 100% I.
17:37
Believe her in that. Yeah, I mean, because she also,
17:40
you know, you know, before this, you know, text you know who
17:45
who's ever over his estate was his agent, I believe or someone
17:47
and say, look, Take Me Out of the wheel.
17:49
I don't want to be any part of this because this is going to be
17:51
a mess and I don't want to fight over this.
17:54
This is not worth it. I mean, so it shows like
17:56
everything she's saying has nothing to do with money and
17:59
money driven, because if it was money driven, she would have
18:01
just shut up and sat there and got the money and then moved on,
18:05
right? So, but this is not about money
18:07
for her, but you know, also to her loyalty, man.
18:10
She sat there knowing, you know, that all the stuff with Bubba
18:13
was like, man, hold on. I know he didn't do the right
18:15
thing. Exactly.
18:16
But dude, he didn't do what everybody's claiming he did.
18:19
He didn't deserve to lose everything, his job and
18:21
everything else, and she stayed so loyal to Hogan man throughout
18:25
all that because he didn't wish to say anything.
18:28
So she kind of honored that wish.
18:29
Didn't even talk to Bubba for this entire time.
18:31
What was that like 1314, fifteen years or whatever it was, 1213
18:36
years was the. Last time, he said.
18:38
That and she and it wasn't until his death that she finally said,
18:41
you know, I need to say something.
18:42
And so dude, so nothing about what she said really, in my
18:47
opinion could be brought into question.
18:49
Like there's no, there's no ulterior motives there other
18:52
than just she needs to get that off her chest.
18:54
She wants to tell Bubba, look, I, I still love you, you know
18:57
what I mean? I, I think the world of you,
18:58
your, your uncle Bubba to me and I hate what happened to you,
19:02
happened to you over all this. And, and, and I distanced myself
19:06
in the whole situation because everything and then, you know,
19:09
and then validated it a little bit with some stories that I
19:11
just, there's no reason for me not to believe what she's
19:14
saying. You know, there's nothing that
19:15
stands out like a red flag at all.
19:18
No, it made total sense of, you know, you see those headlines on
19:24
everywhere on the in on the Internet, I guess because it's
19:26
in my feed and I like wrestling. And so I see a lot of these
19:30
wrestling pages that are, you know what, these media pages, I
19:36
guess we have a media page too, but whatever.
19:38
We don't really spread bullshit like these places do or have
19:42
complete headlines that are total click bait.
19:45
But you know, like Hope Brooke Hogan refuses money from dad and
19:52
stuff like that and, you know, trying to make it into something
19:55
that it's not. It sounded like maybe they
19:58
hadn't spoken a whole lot because he's an asshole.
20:03
I mean, that's kind of the take away from all of this.
20:06
And again, like Bubba says, and I certainly don't want to speak.
20:10
I'll of the deceased, I don't want to speak.
20:13
I'll of the no no. No, I mean, he's in my mind,
20:16
Hulk Hogan will always be a a wrestling hero.
20:19
He's on the Mount Rushmore, absolutely entertainment of any
20:23
type. I mean, no doubt.
20:26
But, you know, a lot of times you always, they always say, you
20:30
know, you don't ever want to meet your heroes.
20:33
He kind of sounds like he did a lot of good things too, but kind
20:36
of sounds like he's one of those that it just depend on the day
20:40
of of how you got him and and what happened, you know, as as
20:44
to what you get. But but at the end of the day, I
20:46
think he's just an asshole. He was just an.
20:48
Asshole. At times for sure and and Biggie
20:53
made a good point. The thing that pisses him off is
20:57
when Hogan went on the Calta show and he had an opportunity
21:02
to release Bubba from this, he completely baby faced himself
21:07
and you. Know.
21:10
He just, you know, and I remember that interview, Bubba,
21:14
of course, anybody listen to listens to Bubba knows that he's
21:17
played it more than once. And that's OK.
21:19
I'm just that's the thing. I always thought, Blasey, I
21:23
thought throughout this deal, like, Jesus Christ, Bubba, will
21:27
you just let this story go? I you know, I'm an outsider.
21:33
You've been way more in the trenches, of course, for years.
21:36
And I'm this is just me. I'm like, dude, let's let this
21:40
go. We can't keep talking about Hulk
21:42
Hogan and this sex tape, but it's been about vindication
21:46
because he knew he was right and.
21:49
He's. Fought for what is right, and
21:52
you should always fight for what's right.
21:54
If you're somebody's trying to screw you over and you've done
21:57
nothing wrong, you should stand up for yourself.
22:01
And that's really all that Bubba's been doing through this
22:03
whole time. And it.
22:05
Gave me a new perspective. Yeah, no, that's it, man.
22:09
You know, some sometimes, you know, like you got to look at
22:11
things and like, man, I, I can't stop on this.
22:13
You know what I mean? I I could.
22:14
Why am I going to hush now? I have a voice and I'm going to.
22:17
And I know he tried to suppress it at times, but, you know, it
22:20
was easy to bubble up. Dude, somebody mentioned one
22:22
thing. Well, let me tell you what
22:23
happened to me. You know what I mean?
22:24
And I get it, dude. Like, I get it.
22:26
Like, he was ruined over this. And especially when he, when he
22:29
could have been, it really just kind of shocks me that he knew
22:32
that all the way back to the Pearl Hotel.
22:34
At least then he even knew then. It wasn't years later that he
22:37
that discovered this. He told her then and then just
22:40
like completely left Bubba out there all alone and just watch
22:44
him drown. Yeah.
22:46
And that's. I'm sorry.
22:47
That's just the way I'm out to dry.
22:49
Yes, he did. Yeah.
22:51
The things of of knowing the best friend and it it just goes
22:54
back to if you want to know how tight Bubba was with Hogan, for
22:59
him to know that Hulk Hogan decided to put a fictitious
23:04
letter in a Christmas present wrapped.
23:07
That her record label would no longer want her to be a part of
23:11
the record label because he didn't like what she was doing
23:15
or who she was dating or whatever, and he wanted to
23:18
squash her music career. Bam, Merry Christmas.
23:22
Bubba knew this, but that was interesting of how well Bubba
23:26
handled it because, you know, you bring that up to somebody.
23:29
So she could have just hung up the phone at that point.
23:32
That would have pissed me off if I were her, because that was the
23:35
first time she heard that. But that just told you right
23:38
there what a piece of shit Hogan could be.
23:41
Like, why would you do that to anybody, especially your
23:44
daughter? It makes no sense.
23:47
Man, I completely agree. I completely agree man.
23:51
It's just, I don't know, man. You know, the whole thing is
23:54
crazy. I'm sitting there thinking, I'm
23:55
just giggling a little bit. Like how long now Bubba's got
23:59
this pump poo poo poo poo. We may do.
24:01
How long now do we hear about the Hogan deal?
24:03
Like how many more years did that just pop into it?
24:05
Hey, 3:00 to 5:00. Solid 4 easily.
24:09
Easily, yeah. And and on socials, of course we
24:12
could play all the clips. There's no point in that.
24:14
Everybody that's listening, you've seen them, you've heard
24:16
them. You know what you were listening
24:18
there it is intriguing. I'll tell you what, throughout
24:21
this, it's been great for me. It has been an escape for me
24:25
over the last two or three weeks.
24:27
I'm sad that Hulk Hogan died. But I was following it.
24:31
I mean, this is what brought me back in and I would never left
24:35
Bubba. But like Bubba needed something
24:37
to kind of happen. I'm just going to be honest,
24:39
kind of like, you know, we were cruising.
24:42
He's doing his deal and everything's fantastic, but he
24:45
just wasn't like Bam out there in the headlines.
24:48
Bubba needed something to happen.
24:50
This happened. I don't wish it it would have
24:52
happened to Hulk, Hulk Hogan or anything like that, but hey,
24:55
here we are. And then now I mean it is just
24:59
Steam. Oh, dude, big time.
25:01
I mean, I was looking, you know, like that, that interview with
25:03
Brooke, like how many people reported that?
25:05
TMZUS Weekly, Yeah, the New York Post, all that.
25:10
I was like, whoa, Bubba is like right in the headlines with what
25:13
I still like. I told you, as soon as I listen
25:16
to it, because I was working, I didn't get to hear it until it
25:19
was done. And that and that whole
25:20
interview and I was like, that's the most riveting interview that
25:23
I've ever heard. Bubba Doo, hands down.
25:27
And then of course, you know, just everything that took place
25:30
in that thing was just unbelievable.
25:32
And it was a great interview too.
25:34
It was like this was so good. And then Bubba crying there at
25:38
the end. I do.
25:38
I mean, it's like. You and that was.
25:39
Real. It was real.
25:41
That was real and I know don't cry.
25:44
You know Papa? Don't Papa, don't cry.
25:47
But but you could just go back to the how he was doing.
25:52
He was the only one reporting whatever his sources are.
25:55
It was very obvious his sources were very inside and I believed
26:00
him from the jump. I believed.
26:02
Him from the jump now, of course, I'm like, maybe, maybe
26:06
he's not. I'm hoping, I'm kind of just
26:08
hoping that Hogan isn't that bad, but here we go.
26:12
And then bam, he's gone and he's vindicated there.
26:15
Pierce, he was on Pierce Morgan, all that.
26:18
He was the only guy saying that. That alone was the story.
26:23
Yes. But it passed forward to where
26:25
we're at now. That ain't even the story
26:27
anymore. I know the story.
26:28
The story? Boom.
26:30
That's gone, yeah. That's that's where it was like,
26:33
wow, so much there. And it's like, I mean, it's
26:37
great. And I'll tell you what, dude,
26:38
what about like I'm hearing these rumors now that Howard
26:41
Stern may be done like it's. Yeah, he is.
26:44
Howard Stern is done, which is interesting.
26:47
He died on a hill that he probably shouldn't have is what
26:50
happened, what happened with him, which is surprising from
26:53
all the shit that that dude's done over the years and being
26:58
playing that shock jock role and doing all that stuff for him to
27:01
just finally just, I'm picking a side politically and I'm going
27:05
to die on that hill. I just don't understand it.
27:08
Serious. As bye.
27:10
We're not going to. We've been overpaying you for
27:12
years and we ain't renewing your contract.
27:15
No, I mean, is this like the major return of Bubba?
27:18
I mean this is like. What I'm starting to think what?
27:20
Everything's happening at one time.
27:22
Like if we talked about it, we're like, look, Bubba will be
27:25
back at some point on a major scale.
27:28
He will make his way back. He always does.
27:30
He finds a way and works his way.
27:32
You know what he does though? He's one of those people.
27:34
He puts 1 foot in front of the other and he works himself out
27:37
of a situation. He never quits, you know, I
27:39
mean, he keeps going now he may, he may work himself the wrong
27:42
direction sometimes, but he never stops working.
27:44
And dude, here he is now suddenly in a position where he
27:47
could really make a move. There's listeners coming back to
27:50
the show. I mean there's people every day
27:51
sending stuff on, man, I'm, you know, I actually had this all
27:54
wrong. Like I want to listen to the
27:56
show, loving the show and it's it's great, man.
27:59
There's a great momentum right here happening and now the
28:02
changing of a God. I mean, dude, I mean, I don't
28:03
know, man, but Bubba could really, really, really blow this
28:06
thing up. Hey, I got Bubba to the east now
28:08
I got Bubba to the West, but two different one O 3.11 O1 one
28:12
that's kind of cool when I'm driving and if I don't have to,
28:14
if I don't have it on like YouTube or something switch
28:17
stations as I'm heading on I-10 heading east, you know what I
28:20
mean? And go from one station to
28:21
another. That's pretty cool in itself.
28:22
I know it's only a few right here, but hey, big Bubba army
28:26
take over here and the Panhandle's happening and I'm
28:28
and I'm down for it. So, but man, I think on a bigger
28:31
scale it could this dude could really, I mean, Bubba could
28:34
really, he could really take off right here and have one last big
28:38
run right here and then that that'll be perfect for him, you
28:40
know? I think he could, and I think
28:41
it's going to be digitally like I think.
28:44
Absolutely all. Digital, yeah.
28:47
Documentaries, his own documentary.
28:50
Maybe you get back into the fold on on this.
28:54
I think that I still think that that's a good idea that you
28:57
have. Those of you out there, you have
28:58
no idea what we're talking about.
29:00
And I'm not going to go any deeper, but Lacey does.
29:03
Lacey knows. And I still think that like
29:06
let's not table that thing yet. Yeah.
29:10
I think an insider view could be fun, but but really, really and
29:14
truly, I think that he he is about to have another resurgence
29:19
because of telling the truth. And that's what Bubba does.
29:23
Good, bad, indifferent. Bubba don't lie.
29:27
Bubba don't lie. Bubba don't lie, and at all,
29:30
ever. You may not agree with him and
29:34
it may be an opinion, but he doesn't feel you full of shit.
29:38
He doesn't feel you full of just complete and total fluff.
29:42
He don't lie, just tells the truth, even if it doesn't make
29:45
him look good, which he did multiple times in this interview
29:50
with Brooke Hogan. He was saying things I'm like,
29:52
oh Bubba, you probably shouldn't say that.
29:54
Like maybe wait until y'all talk privately, but he just said it
29:57
right there on the air. That shows you the veteran that
30:00
he is and how good of a broadcaster he is because he he
30:05
didn't know that was even and he just handled it like a champ.
30:08
I would have melted. Man, I would have totally melted
30:12
and and to your point, dude, it's like I was thinking about
30:16
this the other day, the same thing with Stern going down even
30:20
though bubbles getting this like juice right now.
30:23
It's like, you know what? End of the day, dude, the shock
30:26
jock era might be ending, right? Like so that might be ending.
30:29
But truth tellers, you know what I mean, outlaws.
30:33
I mean, you talk about misfits with mikes.
30:35
You know what I mean, dude, I'll tell you what you might might
30:38
just be getting warmed up with somebody like him.
30:39
There's that transition that he's been he's been setting up.
30:42
He's been laying the groundwork for now for years.
30:45
So now we got that digital platform to really may be ready
30:48
to explode. So dude, Bubba, Bubba's kind of
30:50
a mad genius. Look, I want to say this too
30:52
real quick, dude, Bubba. Bubba is really a good dude,
30:55
man, You know what I mean? I don't like to know him, know
30:57
him, know him, you know what I mean?
30:58
But like you can tell man, Bubba, he's honestly such a good
31:01
dude. He's got a big heart.
31:03
He got a really big heart and he, and sometimes his
31:06
self-defense mechanism is to be mean and angry and lash out a
31:10
little bit with people when they, when they feel like they
31:12
cross him because they feel like he's being good.
31:14
So that's how he protects himself, you know what I mean?
31:16
I mean, I totally get it. And that's what that is.
31:19
And it's why he does that. People like, oh man, I can't
31:21
believe he did this to him and said this.
31:23
It's like, dude, that's just a defense mechanism because he
31:25
knows he's a good guy. He's got a big heart, he's going
31:27
to help, but he didn't want to be taken advantage of.
31:30
And dude, he's been, he's been taken advantage of a little bit.
31:32
And I, and I see why that fuse is short, you know what I mean?
31:35
So it's cool to see it it I'm I'm just glad to see this dude.
31:38
Like I said, the the the validation and the vindication
31:41
is just awesome. Yeah, it is.
31:43
It is. Dude, what about Operation
31:45
Pigmentation? I'd like to get your take on
31:48
that because all of that happened before all of this
31:51
happened. Man, what a wild.
31:53
Couple of months, it's so. Crazy dude.
31:55
I, I couldn't believe it when I heard it.
31:57
I was like, wait, operation pigmentation is done like this
32:01
can't be really happening and I've just absolutely imploded on
32:03
itself, you know, so. Like I, like I said once again,
32:09
and you said it in this show tonight, Bubba sometimes gets a
32:13
little in front of himself and trips himself up.
32:16
Well that this would be a case in point.
32:19
Yeah, hey, no doubt about it, No doubt about it.
32:22
Like I said in that original little thing, you know, like
32:25
highly talented individual, but sometimes a little bit
32:28
self-destructive, you know what I mean?
32:30
So but but it's why you love him though too, you know what I
32:34
mean? It's like it, and it's funny
32:35
when you see it happening, you see it happening, you're like,
32:38
oh God, you know, no, no. No, don't do this but.
32:41
He's going to do it. He's going to do whatever he
32:43
ain't. Stopping.
32:47
He's not. So I still have.
32:48
I hope somehow another with all of this stuff that cooler heads
32:53
prevail and that that that show comes back.
32:55
Because I know it's killing sex. I know it.
32:58
Is too. That was Even so.
32:59
Much time and energy into that show.
33:01
That show was his baby. I know, man.
33:04
I know. Yeah, I it is a good show, man.
33:09
Like, that's a really good show. You keep running that show.
33:13
I just thought that show really had potential to really kind of
33:15
be one of those podcasts that kind of took off and.
33:18
And I still think it does and. Bubba and moved on to like,
33:21
'cause I mean, Bubba has a huge listener.
33:25
We know with the amount of downloads and all, it's
33:27
unbelievable. Oh yeah.
33:30
But that show could go on a complete national platform.
33:35
Like I thought. So too, or whatever the hell it
33:37
is and get get hundreds of thousands of downloads like it's
33:41
it's that interesting. It is it is it?
33:44
Is talking, but they're so real and it's so unscripted and
33:48
that's what makes it so good. And you don't know what they're
33:52
going to say. They don't know what they're
33:53
going to say. They just are reacting to
33:55
whatever it is. It's it's happening.
33:57
It makes it beautiful. Yeah, it's like a like a, you
34:01
know, like an improv type thing where you know what I mean?
34:03
They just just throw it at us, you know what I mean?
34:06
And we're just going to go with it.
34:07
Like this, this ain't, this ain't rocket science, you know
34:09
what I mean? So yeah, they were, those guys
34:12
are good. I hope they figured out.
34:14
I hope they find a way to pull that back together.
34:16
There's all dude. There's always a way, you know
34:18
what I mean? Like there's just always a way
34:20
to put stuff back together. So.
34:22
Any final takes on on Bubba before we slip on?
34:26
Out man look at the end of the day, dude it it you know I I'm
34:31
I'm just I'm actually happy I'm just so happy for Bubba dude.
34:35
It's, you know, like to see him finally get what he has been
34:39
just absolutely begging people to listen to and understand.
34:43
He's been been doing this for 12 plus years and just grinding and
34:48
talking. And like when anybody listen to
34:50
me, when somebody says it, like, Hey, listen to this person,
34:52
anybody that's how we got here. Like listen to this guy.
34:55
I don't even know this guy, some Alabama guy, you know what I
34:57
mean? Like he's, he's just old
34:59
Southern boys like. And so just for him to get that
35:03
man and to get that, you know, again, that, that vindication
35:06
and that validation of what he's been saying on this particular
35:10
subject, man and, and, and, and his health and all that too.
35:14
It's just, it's so cool to see man and, and, and I'm glad for
35:17
him. And I just, I, I, I really just
35:19
wish nothing but the best. I, I, I hope good, really good
35:23
things come from this. And then he finds a way to
35:26
really springboard this in a really good way and still finds
35:30
a way to stay out of his own way, hopefully.
35:33
And and when, when that opportunity presents itself and
35:37
gets that last little, that one last little boost and then and
35:41
enjoys a nice little last run, which I think he's going to do
35:44
regardless of whatever it is. So Yep.
