In this raw and emotional “Bonus Bubba,” Gene Lasker opens up about a dark experience from his childhood, a sexual encounter with an older girl that the crew now views through an uncomfortable new lens. Seth and the team navigate the hard questions of consent, memory, and how early experiences shape who we become. It’s an honest, unfiltered conversation that mixes Bubba’s trademark real talk with a rare look behind the laughter into something deeply personal.

Bubba and the crew kick off with a quick Morgan Exteriors plug before diving into weekend madness. Gene preps his car for the Dave Steele Memorial, Walker’s juggling T‑ball, and there's a soccer jamboree, and the gang plots a spring‑training takeover. In between the chaos, Seth reacts to a wild protest performance reenacting shootings and a bizarre new UFO “declassification” claim making headlines. Toss in stadium food confessions and movie tangents, and you’ve got classic Bubba Army weekend energy, gears, goals, and conspiracy gold all in one show.

It’s a full‑tilt Friday on The Bubba the Love Sponge® Show! Seth and the crew fire up the new “Lasker or AI?” guessing game, testing who can spot the real Gene from his digital clone. Then Gene announces he is off to the Plant City Strawberry Festival on a mission to bid for a Bubba Army Family FFA cow, debating meat quality, stress, and small‑town auction drama. The guys wrap with food talk gone off the rails, arguing over strawberries, pickles, and which veggies belong in a Bubba Army fridge.

Seth and the crew kick off with a classic studio scramble, missing headphone parts, old‑school gear talk, and plenty of finger‑pointing before diving into a jaw‑dropping news story about stolen surgical robot arms worth over $60K. The conversation slides into nostalgia over pre-Internet prep days, upcoming show schedules, and one stunning childhood confession that sparks a serious debate about consent and accountability. Throw in bar mitzvah mix‑ups, polygamy jokes, and hot takes on the Bears’ stadium move, and you’ve got peak morning mayhem from the Bubba Army bunker.

Bubba and the gang are firing on all cylinders, well, except for Lummy’s AC and Macho’s bent rim. Gene steps up with a plan to hammer the wheel back into shape while Seth hammers away in the host chair. The crew swaps puppy‑training tips, pushing positive reinforcement over punishment, before previewing a wild new segment: “Lasker or Lasker?”- the on‑air guessing game where listeners decide if it’s real Gene or AI Gene talking. This episode wraps up with music news and chatter about Steve Perry and Axl Rose.

In this Bonus Bubba Clip, the crew reacts to a race car driver who swears he “just doesn’t see” anything weird about Michael Jordan’s repeated grabby moments with his son. Comments made during a wild interview with presidential hopeful Stephen A. Smith. Brian “Babyface” isn’t having it, blasting the driver for not shutting it down with a simple "That's Not What Happened!" Instead of giving an aloof “I like my wife’s smile” answer. Now the internet’s buzzing and MJ’s catching a whole new kind of heat. Classic Bubba-level chaos loaded with hot takes and uncomfortable laughs!
