holy shit you guys gotta watch the new video on bubba raw! its the one about laskers dad. watch all three clips. i dont know how he handles himself, thats a ton of shit on his plate. i feel bad for the guy. he killed a guy who was raping his sister(cant blame him any of us would do the same), he had to perform cpr on his daughter 7 times do to her condition, and on top of all that his dad left him at the age of 7. a bunch more in the clips . you have to be a strong person to deal with all of that shit. i have completley changed my mind about gene, and have found a great deal of respect for him.

i would have to agree with you there. i didn't think much of lasker befor, but i do now. i take my hat off to him and bow down. he seems like a hell of a guy

You forgot about the fact that Lasker offered Bubba half of his business when he got fired and things weren't looking too good for him...

People can talk all the shit they want about Gene being a redneck or thrillbilly or whatever... fact of the matter is this world would be a much better place if there were more people with a heart the size of his...

You can tell that underneath it all Lasker is a good dude....I didn't know about that stuff before now. That is some heavy shit. He is a strange dude no doubt about it...I mean could ANYONE have predicted that he had extensions in his hair? He makes me laugh when he is just being himself. He reminds me a lot of a guy that works with me so I am always amused by him.

How 'bout that?

I find it kind of odd, Lasker comes across as someone who likes to hype himself up quite a bit with the racing and things, but the reality is I'm sure he keeps a lot of stuff to himslef that most people would like to brag about.

He is a memeber of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gang, Im sure with that he has a lot of secrets, has seen a lot of things - but I've never heard him make mention of that on the air.

If some of his prison time came from killing the guy who was raping his sister, then that is a rightious way to spend time in prison IMO.

Lasker and Bubba are both men who don't back down from fighting and yet they say the most brutally honest things to each other on the air and they will take it from each other, whereas if someone else said it, it might lead to elevating of fists. It just proves they are very close....the background story helps to explain that.

Another good thing about Lasker is he is a self made man, judging by his vehicles and his racing hobby, he has done quite well for himself considering he started with nothing as an orphan.

Lasker's powder coatin' bidness, the one that seems to leave some customers indifferent, is very impressive, Yas.

And don't forget Lakser's Mullet.

Absolutely right. Lasker may be ingnorant and mean, but deep down, the man has a heart of gold.

He told the story on a SOTB. And it went something like this. I'll try and give the reader digest version.
Lasker and his sister lived together. One night his car for some reason was not in the driveway. Seeing this an asshole ex boyfriend decides he's going to try and rape her. Lasker hears her screaming and of course Lasker sleeps with a gun under his pillow. He goes to his sister room and from the doorway he points the gun at the guy tells him to get off her. The guy got up and told Lasker he didn't have the balls to shoot him. So the stupid fuck starts to walk towards Lasker and gets blasted. Luckily the guy lives long enough to tell the cops that he didn't think Lasker would shoot him. So Lasker didn't even spend a night in jail.

i think lasker deserves a hand for the shit he went through....i hope we see more of him on the show but he has every right to be pissed off at bubba

agreed. hes a good dude. just crazy sometimes haha.
