Bubba gets brutally honest about the highs and lows of his career, from FCC fines and the Hulk Hogan lawsuit to being fired over controversial moments. The crew dives into ratings battles, the fallout from on-air comments, and the impact of Danny Douglas’s absence. Raw, unfiltered, and unapologetic, this is Bubba at his realest.

On today’s show, Bubba delves into the buzz surrounding his highly anticipated documentary, "Video Killed the Radio Star." With its official premiere set for Friday, September 5, 2025, and pre-orders now available on Apple TV for a discounted price of $14.99, Bubba breaks down event details, expected attendance, and addresses some last-minute technical hurdles, along with the iTunes link.

However, it’s not all Hollywood red carpets; legal drama is brewing. A 46-page lawsuit filed by Nick Hogan and Terry McCoy now threatens to block the film’s release, with an emergency motion for a temporary restraining order already in play. To unpack the legal implications, attorney Daniel Rose joins the show, offering expert insight into what motions like this really mean and whether the case even has standing without an open probate.

Despite the noise, Bubba stresses that the documentary paints Terry Bolea (Hulk Hogan) in a positive light, relying on public records and news sources to tell the story of the Cox versus Hogan settlement. On top of that, the crew gears up for the big premiere, sending invites, nailing down the dress code, photography plans, and coordinating coverage for the event.

It’s a mix of behind-the-scenes revelations, courtroom intrigue, and Bubba’s trademark unfiltered commentary, all leading up to one of the most significant moments in BTLS history.

We then shift gears to a disturbing story about a long-time New York City principal, William Basil, who has been accused of turning his school into a "sexual playground."

The conversation shifts to the challenges facing the African-American community, touching on the cultural perceptions of success and education. We reflect on how media representations, such as "The Cosby Show," once portrayed positive role models, in contrast to today's societal issues.

We also address the complexities of crime and punishment, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that includes both accountability and opportunities for youth. The discussion highlights the frustrations of local business owners dealing with crime and the perception of safety in the city.

Our guest, a doctor, provides insights into the science behind peptides and cautions listeners to be discerning about the claims made in the peptide craze.

We then shift gears to a groundbreaking procedure featured on 60 Minutes, where a patient undergoes brain surgery to implant a device aimed at treating drug addiction. The patient, Jared Buckhalter, shares his hopes for the surgery, which involves mapping the brain to locate and suppress cravings. The doctor explains the technology behind this procedure, likening it to a pacemaker for the brain, and discusses the implications of such advancements in the treatment of addiction.

Next, I share my experience with double red blood cell donations, likening it to a "blood oil change." We discuss the process and its health benefits, including how it helps maintain healthy blood levels.

Our guest provides a balanced view on this therapy, emphasizing the importance of understanding what is actually being filtered out.
