I listen to the Bubba show now and remember what it was like back in 2006. I visit SFN and see the 6 page listening thread and remember when the listening threads would go so high you couldn't read it all in one sitting.
Bubba has had his highs and lows on Sirius. However it seems after a few times of almost getting back into the groove he's sputtered out again. I understand he's doing 8 hours of show per day, but hey he's the one who chose that schedule. Don't think for a minute he chose because of us, the fans. He chose that schedule because he can reach a national (even global) audience to sell his merchandise and Bubba Raw.
It's painfully obvious Bubba will leave Sirius at the end of this year and go back to terr radio. This is sad too, because when I first started listening to Bubba and Howard they seemed so "free" and rebellious to regular radio... now Bubba is going back there just because he gets a good payday.
Was Bubba worth more money? Yes defintely, in the past. Nowadays he's not. It's sad to hear these old bits played again and again because Bubba doesn't have enough creative juices flowing. We have to endure endless emails (some even fake) and uninteresting regular callers such as B Fudd, Atilla, and that old broad from Chicago... these people have nothing to say and Bubba just rehashing the same old conversation with them day after day.
There was a time when I'd listen to Bubba over Howard. That's rarely the case nowadays. Unless they're doing the unsigned band review or have a special guest/stunt going on, I don't listen because I know I'm not going to miss anything.
It'll be nice to see Bubba do a 180 and start putting on some good radio.. but we've been teased so many times that he is back in action that the hope is fading away, for me at least.
I hate to see Bubba and crew leave because they've gotten to be my radio family along with Howard. I don't feel like getting to know another radio family, but it looks like we will have to come January. |

These days I rarely listen, because of the now routine expectation as you stated, that I am not missing anything.
Only Manson continues to exhibit creativity on the show.
I've actually concluded for myself that ironically, Bubba himself is the weakest part of his show. He needs to dig very deep in an uncomfortable way to really "crack his head open" for the audience in order to create a fresh dynamic between himself and the on-air team.
What will Bubba do if he's fined on terrestrial radio by the FCC before January 09?
The FCC has always been the time bomb in all this. |

| Bubba's been great lately, he will renew, but the negative posts will continue anyway cause thats the SFN way. |

Jekyll and Hyde radio, Sirius vs. Terrestrial for Bubba. One offers him an opportunity to let loose, the other has a noose around his neck, and one appears to offer little compensation, while the other in the horizon has a pot of gold. As a business person, the decision is simple, but for Bubba it could be career ending, but they do have the delay button..LOL.
I personally appreciate what Bubba and the crew is doing. Although we don’t know shit, to us the listener, he may be moving on to Terrestrial. If that’s the case, busting his ass putting on two shows a day, thank-you Bubba! Things have changed, but if he is going, let’s enjoy the next six months. |

In the next 6 months make sure to buy all new Bubba merch, sign up for Bubbaraw, and buy tickets for Bubbapoloza. The show is nothing but a commercial to sell his products, or name drop sponsors that pay Bubba on the backside. |

Amazing how someone always emails them to request a long bit 20 minutes before the show ends. I understand why they do it, but just say it. Don't say "I got an email requesting such and such a bit from the old days".
It seems like they just look for the longest old bits they have and act like somebody wants to hear it so they can press play and bail. |

| God damn you people like nothing more then to bitch about the show if you don't like it don't listen if you don't listen don't post its as easy as that and the lack of a large daily thread here doesn't mean that the show has gone downhill it means most of the posters from the darkside have left here. The biggest reason everyone left is negative shit like this being posted and left up Bubba did have some mailed in shows in the end of 2007 but who can blame him he was getting no respect from Sirius and thats what they deserved as for mailing it in now I think the show has been as good as ever in the last few month but who can blame them if they have an off day they put on two shows a day FOR THE FANS |

I don’t know how the guys couldn’t be running low on gas at times with this schedule. That being said I’m finding the shows rather interesting lately. Sure I miss Lasker breaking down a door and trying to beat up Chip but I enjoy hearing the guys BS with each other. That is why the first hour of Howard’s show was always my favorite. I am not big on guest being in the studio but I have to say I didn’t even mind Karen Angle that much because she had the Tara Clem voice kicking.
I hope Bubba works out something where he can get his own channel or something and maybe broadcast the morning show and let him do a Sirius only show from 10 to 2 every day. I have a feeling that is our only chance of keeping him on Sirius. I don’t see how in the world they could keep up the current schedule for several more years. I feel it’s a huge loss for Sirius if they can’t keep him. I still don’t understand how you let the number 2 show in all of sat rad go. |

Its painfully obvious the Sirius show has become the "Lets Rape as many of Howards/Bubba fans as we can before we go" World Tour.
I used to mock Howard when he talked about how lame Djs would pollute their shows with hawking of stuff to the audience (pre Howard TV of course), but now I see the point.
Its even ok to sell stuff but when it becomes the whole show (along with fake callers having "problems"....we know even Howard uses services that provide fake callers) it becomes hard to listen to because its so gross..the blatant cash grab.
R.I.P Bubba Show |

I don't know, but I still enjoy the show. I think the problem with the listening thread began when Bubba got in a tizzy with SFN last year. A lot of people here bolted to some other board and Bubba (supposedly) no longer pays attention to this board.
However, one thing that infuriates me is this whole Revitalabs bullshit. I'm sick and tired of them hawking a product they CLEARLY are involved with. Every time Dr. Mark (a world-renowned physician according to Spice's "commercial") is on the show there are "questions" from "listeners" about Revitalabs. Are there REALLY that many stupid fans that buy that fucking snake oil? I wish Bubba would just come clean with us on his business involvement with Dr. Mark. I'm kinda hoping a caller gets through and confronts him on this. |

| i do think sometimes bubba plays too many recorded bits or parodies, but when he is live and just talking with the guys his show is very entertaining. I think he is more "common man" than Howard. Howard from 6-12, then bubba 3-7. nothing could get better. Let's hope Bubba is going to stay on Sirius for a long time to come. |
|

| InjunCharlie |
| The only problem I have with Bubba's bits/song parodies is that they're not edited down willy. Like everytime "You Want a Piece of Me" comes on, you know you're going to be there listening to that for the next 3-4 minutes. I like Howard's approach where you get a verse and the chorus then it's killed. Meh, not that big a deal I guess. |

| I have been listening to bubba for 3 years now, I have beat and pounded the negatives cry babies as much as I can without being too much of an asshole sometimes with no avail. But I, as a three year listener must say since the beginning of the year 08 the show has been a roller coaster and currently they ARE on a low. Remember a little bit back they were cleared to do certain bits again! How many bits have you heard since. Good luck with that snake bit and bear bit , I can see it in person at the circus. The show has FLAT out sucked lately. They drag out the most boring calls and run on about the most boring shit. I used to love the show but something has got to change because arguing with Matt aka Spice about not fucking whores, whoopi shit. he is gay and to top it off, not good looking at all. |

| also to comment on the lack of posts here? I dont know. Yes they are most likely posting at bubba raw or another site but you do not even hardly see heatherwiz or nedztesticals around here any more. I think it is more of the separation from the sirius world which what is the since of posting and talking about him if you cannot listen to him after dec 08? |

What a bunch of fucking whinebags!
Some of you people bitch about Bubba hawking his merchandise. Sorry, but Sirius already paid out one $500 million contract and just doesn't have the funds to pay another guy with radio talent. So he's gotta make ends meet somehow, and he has a national radio show in which to do so. GET THE FUCK OVER IT!
So some of you say that his show sucks lately. Granted, the Sirius show has not been his greatest effort this year, but how much effort would you really put into a show that puts ZERO dollars in your pocket, that corporate idiots keep squashing, and dumbasses typing posts with their shitpipes?! If you don't like the current product, then go listen to some more regurgitated MasterTape Theater or something else less appealing. I might not like everything Bubba puts on the radio every day (the Akira shit, first and foremost), and I'll say that various aspects suck as the show is on the air, but I do NOT make stupid attention-whore threads like this about how Bubba sucks, the ongoing Manson/Ned controversy, Spice not wanting to fuck whatever Bubba puts in front of him, and Brent being an uninformed know-it-all. |

Yeah the dwindling Bubba SFN thread has everything to do with Bubbas show content and nothing to do whatsoever with the fact that all the people that used to post here got tired of all the Howard groupies from the lounge coming in her to shit all over Bubba for no resaon other than he wasnt Howard going somewhere else to get away from the inane moronic BS.
Gee, I wonder if there's another Bubba related site that averages somewhere between 80 and 100 pages a day in a Bubba daily listening thread where all those people might have gone? I wonder if its the same place the Daily Church of Ferrall thread might have gone to in order to avoid the asswipes that think if its not Howard it must automtically blow.
Ohh thats right the entire radio universe revolves around the SFN. :rolleyes: |

I'd expect nothing less from an FTE. If you think this show puts zero dollars in his pocket you are a complete moron. As far as that goes its not the listeners fault its Bubba's. If the contract wasn't enough for him to show his listeners some respect and give us a proper show then he shouldn't of signed it. All this blaming Sirius is total bullshit. Bubba used to put on a great show. Sirius gave him an offer for the same show and HE fucking took it. Now we get less than a great show. His whole show is a fucking work. Bubba is fucking us end of story. |

| While I don't agree that the Sirius show sucks (or bad) I think saying its justified because "how much effort would you really put into a show that puts ZERO dollars in your pocket?!" is one of the dumber things I ever read in this area. He wouldn't be hurting Sirius as much as the fans & Howard (who he says weekly that he owes his recent success to). Again I'm not see a huge decline in the show as some are but justifying it this way is asinine |

Bubba has always had one issue with his show: consistency. His best radio was truly a marvel and would be followed by another great show, but then he could put two or three subpar shows together in a row. This new deal created some bad blood and the new schedule does not allow for any regeneration of batteries, so the consistency problem now becomes worse.
He cannot ride two horses.
Sirius blew it. Anyone have any illusions that Sirius will do better next year? Unless someone intervenes, this show will be lost to Sirius. That is bad because we pay for the service and Bubba's exclusive show was a blast. Why fuck us over? You really need Martha Stewart and Jamie Foxx? |

Its because of the Sirius show he got the Cox contract and didnt fade into obscurity. So not only did Sirius keep him and his crew financially afloat but it also helped him back into the world of regular radio when he was blackballed--i'd think he owes us (his sirius fans) and Sirius corp alittle |

the show has been good...not sure what peepz are bitching about....
i am not a fan of the bubba swag and bubbapoolza promotions before each segment but im not going to hate on them....they got a weak contract from sirius so they have to take advantage of the situation to make their money...
plus you wont hear them on sirius in 09 so enjoy it while it last and leave all the bitching in the STERN forum!! |

While the current state of the show has slipped a little from its peak on Sirius Bubba is still putting in much more effort into the show than Howard does on his.
Just think about how amazing that is when you really look into it... Bubba is doing 40 hours of radio a week compared to Howard's 18-19. With two times the work load I'm willing to cut Bubba a little slack. |
|
|
| mikeh77 |
The turning point IMO was when he started screening calls..
1.Before screening calls he hated taking them and would only take a handfull of calls a day IF THAT that lasted about 30 sec each... This led to more banter time which led to GOOD RADIO
2. After call screening he used calls (real and fake) as a crutch and now he takes like 20 calls a day....some going on for 20-30 minutes, this led to less banter and just TIME FILLING...which means BAD RADIO
And someone may point out that they were handcuffed by Sirius on bits so they had to take more calls....Bullshit...even when Sirius put the hammer down bit-wise, they still had some GREAT shows just bullshitting...(when Sirius basically banned all whores)
I will say this, I am THANKFULL to Bubba for staying, even though the show isnt how it was...there are still some gems in the show, its just now its almost an accident when a good segment happens
Just my take from someone whos been around forever |

Ayup, yet another clueless retard replying out of his ass. :rolleye2:
The contract he initially agreed to the first time in 2005 is the same deal he re-upped for at the end of 2007, except it's a one-year deal. Sirius would NOT give him more money. After the guy paid his on-air crew, behind-the-scenes staff, and various operating costs, he got DOGPISS. With his initial contract, corporate had him by the balls, thanks to Clear Channel black-balling him. And there was this little lawsuit involving a particular skank in Florida that was looking for a payday that didn't fare well with his 2007 contract negotiations. His Clear Channel severance package wasn't gonna last forever, and he doesn't make near enough from merchandising and the various shows he's been doing around the country to maintain whatever lifestyle he's accustomed to living. He had to take care of both of families (Heather and Tyler, plus his BRN crew), and yet you still wanna blame the guy for trying to do right by everyone he's having to take care of.
If you truly feel that Bubba is fucking you, I hope you at least get a kiss or a pizza out of the deal. And I hope your ass hurts in the morning. |

Try doing roughly forty hours a week of ON-AIR radio between two entirely different mediums, and then tell me just how much Bubba really owes ANYONE. That crew is undoubtedly THE hardest working bunch of guys in radio today. Nice to know that, in order to be a true fan of his show, it now comes with a price tag. No wonder he reacts to the message boards like he does. Statements like "I'd think he owes us (his Sirius fans) and Sirius corp a little" really make me believe he has an even more thankless job than mine. |

Hah, his AM show is AWESOME.
In fact, I hate to break it to you posers, but both shows are awesome. Bubba absolutely did not need to re-up with Sirius. He did it out of loyalty. His Cox show is doing great, it's paying far more, and when December rolls around Bubba is in for an even bigger payday than what he got this year.
Being realistic, he's going to stay with Cox. As a fan of the show, I am perfectly happy with that because I know that Bubba can do great radio in any genre. His AM show is AS GOOD or BETTER than his PM show.
Factor in the strong possibility of a liberal FCC after January of '09, and it doesn't seem that FM radio is such a bad place to be right now. I wish Bubba the best, and I can't wait to hear how he sounds a year from now. |

when you guys claim 40 hours of radio are you factoring in all the
1. Commercials
2. Replayed Bits over and over
3. Fake Calls
4. Did i mention replayed Bits
Lol...if and when he is done on Sirius I dont think i will miss him as much the show has gone downhill. Good luck to him and the boys he is funny but some of the shennanigans and replays get old. |

He did it to himself. Come on, two different mediums? Its the same except he cant curse on one--hardly a complete change in direction as far as content goes. And 40 hours is pushing it as well, especially when talking about the Sirius show--deduct the sales piches, old bits, music, and tv commentary.
As far as him being paid dogpiss, who told him to have so many employees? Thats all his doing as well. If he was so strapped he would, like all major businesses do, layoff non essential staff. Ferrall most likely got the same contract or possibly even less and if you listen to him he got a good deal. The difference between the 2 is that Scotty doesnt have alot of overhead--which is smart. Bubba got paid what he was worth for his initial contract--outside of Florida not too many people knew (or even still know-besides sirius subscribers) who he is. Bubba the love sponge is not a well known brand name. Having said that, should he have gotten a raise for the second contract IMO--yes and Sirius did him wrong. And perhaps if he paid more attention to the message boards and saw that alot of people were being dissatisfied with the quality of the show he might do something about it. But then again he'd have to give a shit first |

Bingo.....If he didn't have such a high payroll, high price toys, expensive hobbies he'd have alot more money than he lets on.
His own lifestyle is why he is workin to jobs. |

| If you have not noticed the show has been pretty lame (mostly on cruise control) since the double shifts started, you may be blind. I think The Bulldog was right to ask Bubba, I am sure he hears it when they play (2) 20 minute bits in an hour. |

One of the things I find most amusing about this board is all the mind readers who know what everyone is thinking. The people on this board are always trying to claim they know exactly what motivates everyone from Howard, to Bubba, to other members, etc. and claim to know what they're thinking.
Is it just the slightest bit possible that Bubba came back because he was hoping to stay with Sirius? Maybe he is holding out hope that Sirius sees in him what we all do and buy out his FM contract? Maybe he did it to stay with his fans on Sirius another year? I doubt he was motivated to make the decision he did for purely selfish reasons. One thing that isn't brought up nearly enough is the fact that he was offered even MORE money to stay exclusive to Cox. Now I don't know how that works out, but it's possible he could've done one show and got payed more. Sure, he gets a national audience on Sirius to sell things to, but with my limited knowledge of radio (because like Bubba would point out, I don't know shit about the business), I would assume the $ he makes on merch would be dwarfed by what Cox could pay for national syndication over time. Sirius is badly in debt and the merger situation isn't helping. Not to mention the brutal schedule.

There was a lot of that during the announcement of the FM contract, and in four months+ time, it seems not much has changed. I find it silly that people talk about his deal as though Bubba personally slapped them or Howard in the face. Bubba is very fan friendly and seems to really care what the people who listen to him think. Why else would he take what a bunch of nerds on a forum have to say seriously? :D I doubt many other successful radio hosts such as the Rush Limbaughs or Glenn Becks of the world give a shit about the people that listen to them, nonetheless are as fan friendly as Bubba is.
People are not going to like every bit. I got a personal "fuck Chob" from Bubba thanks to JTSM all over me taking a shit on the Karen Angle interview. :jj: Yes people may have a problem with the old bits, although my only problem is that we don't get enough classic Bubba elsewhere and we can only hear these bits on the live shows. The merch/Bubba Raw pushing doesn't bother me and I feel it's equivalent to Howard's promotion of Howard TV. They're business men, in radio to make a profit, I can't fault them for that. Bubba talks about what's going on with his life, and Bubbapalooza and new merch will inevitably come up since it's something he's involved in. I have a bunch of Bubba stuff, but not once have I felt like Bubba was holding a gun to my head to buy stuff. I enjoy hearing about the behind the scenes work that goes into Bubbapalooza, even if I hadn't made it to one yet.
I'm almost certain that if Bubba had left for FM exclusively, which I can't understand why a Sirius listener would want that, there would be people saying he was a sell out, abandoned Sirius, etc. That could very well still be what's in store for the future at the end of this year. Some people here are under the illusion that all their bitching equates to them keeping Bubba honest. They are mistaken. Yes Bubba is tired, yes he is talked out and hurting for content sometimes, he freely admits it. All the people here are doing is creating a situation where Bubba can't win no matter what he does.
If all this has diminished your ability to enjoy the show and you feel it necessary to constantly bitch about the show, although it's a cliche, turn the fucking radio dial, and be satisfied with the fact that Bubba may not be around much longer, maybe then some people will realize what we once had. |

Good post Chob. BTW, Chob is very level headed and astute just like JKGroups. I totally disagree with Mikeh77 on the call screening deal, that IMO, is what made the show even better.
I do find it odd too that this place seems to have more complaints. I do think seeing the lack of posters and not realizing where they have gone has possibly created the notion that the show has lost listeners. It's odd because on the other big Bubba Board and on Sirius Backstage people seem to be praising the Bubba show. He is convincing many long time Howard listeners of his talent. People who didn't like him at first perhaps but now find him better.
BUBBA has found his groove, maybe some days they have less content, but Bubba and the rest of the crew are more confident in who they are at least from my perspective. |

the negativity is out of control. I spend very little time here anymore and find it hard to discuss anything worthwhile. |

I think the show is fine. I don't mind the old bits every so often but he was closing out the show with old bits for a while there.
It was funny to hear Bubba mark out to the btlsfans and there daily "listening" thread that usually has nothing to do with the show at all.
IMO the board dies here because of all Bubba's temper tantrums over the posts here and the greddy 10 deal |

The members that carried this section left after the meltdown of Balloon Knot and the formation of a new board. The thing is, and I am not talking about the breakaway BTLS board as I have never been there, every once in a while people who like to circle jerk each other break away from SFN and form their own board. It rarely holds up though because the circle jerk tends to be elitist with a big element of sycophants tonguing the bung of whomever they happen to be starfucking at that time. New members don't join since the old members engage in syrupy cluster fucking and tongueing each others assholes as well as protecting their asskissing turf. You can't get any genuine feedback that has any merit from a place like that and it gets real old, real fast. Thank you. |

Lol...if and when he is done on Sirius I dont think i will miss him as much the show has gone downhill. Good luck to him and the boys he is funny but some of the shennanigans and replays get old. |
Ok... so Bubba does 30 hours of radio a week compared to Howard's 14. |
