Podcast: Bubba the Love Sponge® Show
Rating: Explicit Published On: Thu May 28 2026
Description: On this episode of The Bubba the Love Sponge® Show, Bubba talks about firing Seth Kushner after a month of on-camera mocking and disrespectful gestures, throat slashes, fake gun-to-head motions, and asks Gary and Lummy for a 30-day montage documenting 14 to 15 incidents to protect the show. The decision was painful, driven more by hurt than anger, with Bubba emphasizing he won't tolerate public attacks that harm the brand. Brian reveals longstanding personal and business ties with the departed co-host Seth, including family connections and thousands of dollars in shared revenue from card breaks, but pledges to stop collaboration if Seth publicly harms the show or uses Bubba's platform against him. Both agree that the on-air conversation cleared the air, with Brian affirming loyalty while supporting Seth's income through limited Blizzard podcast work. Bubba highlights digital success in sustaining payroll where FM competitors struggle, claims Tampa's biggest radio-name status, and reflects on past scandals that limited mainstream opportunities while celebrating kidney stone relief and a finished studio move.
