News: Abortions, jailtime, attempted murder? This person REALLY needs a divorce... Divorce Contest Winner

Bubba The Love Sponge®
He's the host of the show and one of the most renowned personalities in radio today. Bubba uses his deceptively sharp intelligence to create compelling radio on a daily basis. Bubba is unafraid to be controversial and speak his mind.

Manson

There is no one in the radio business who's a better bit/parody song writer than Manson. Because of Manson, the BTLS show consistently contains parody elements that can't be matched.

Brent Hatley

Executive Producer: Knows a great deal about a wide array of topics. He served in the first Gulf War as a member of the United States Marines. A loyal Gator fan, Brent can talk sports with the best of them.

Ned
Rude and abrasive, yet commands an amazing fan following. Ned does excellent parody songs, but he shines with his prank calls.
Spice
One of the original members of the show. He loves to bust balls and gets his busted. Spice is a complete workaholic, dedicated to making the show the best it can be at all times.

What others are saying

  • BUBBA
    Hay bubba ive been a listener for 2 years now loved your show at first but now all you talk about is yourself and your personal bizz.It was ok for five mints on the air but i have to turn you off when you drag it on for over a hour.
    Talk about whats going on with the world not you you you you you you.
  • One Year Later
    Still on the Air in Orlando a year later, Your SHOW has gotten better and I'm still listening so You get a A+ Still need more "NO NET NED"
  • review
    I think all you do is try to copy how Howard did his show...if Hulk Hogan is your A-list then you know you have a problem...I try to listen with a open mind but when I heard you are 15th in Orlando...it kinda backs up my thought process...MY FRIEND
  • Tellin it like it is!
    Bubba is sometimes a bit raw, but hey! That's what radio needs! He does a great job of pointing out the facts, cutting the crap, and telling it like it is! Keep it up Bubba! You're awesome!
  • Bubba
    Without a doubt, the most embarrassing hack on radio. The depth of his ignorance is just staggering. His inept comments along with his lack of even a passing knowledge of the topics he tries to comment on, (pop culture, movies, music, sports) explains why his ratings are consistently in the toilet.
  • bubba
    I like music there is not enough of it when bubba is running his mouth... I'm sure his mother must be very proud of the way he kicks people when they are down calling them whores and sluts and whatnot ... to the station execs I can only say this if I try your staion and ther is music playing I hang, If you have this Nimrod blathering I immediately change the station he sickens me.
  • Show enjoyment
    The show is what it is. No holds barred, straight at ya, non sugar coated and non politically correct. It's a nice change of pace with different opinions and outlooks. I enjoy the show.

  • LOVE YOUR SHOW
    I EMAILED SCOTT BUT I IAM VERY ILL LOVE YOUR SHOW I LOVE HOGAN I HAVE FRIENDS THAT WERE WWF CHAMPS FROM APOPKA THE HARRIS TWINS RONNIE AND DONNIE HARRIS SO I HOPE THAT SCOTT READS MY EMAIL SO THANK YOU AND TELL HOGAN HOPE VERY THING IS GOOD FOR HIM HAVE A BLESSED DAY
  • This is the best show ever! So much better than the other crap on the radio here in Orlando! Please keep these guys on the station! Thanks
  • Hey guys, so i read through some of the comments left before this one. There will always be those who dislike and those who enjoy Bubba and the crew. Fortunately, I am one who enjoys the show. Regardless, the show is unique. Bubba and the guys have the "IT" factor. Keep up the great work.
  • I hear ya!
    Hey Bubba!

    Sadly, this morning is the first time I've heard you on the radio. I'm so tired of hearing the crap both music and talk that I pretty much gave up on radio.
    But I just dropped my fiance' at work and happened on your program with Tucker Carlson. Wow, you are great! What a relief! Just when I was feeling like I was all alone in this world. It was so great to hear someone with just about the same views that wasn't bending over backwards to be "politically correct". So refreshing.
    When I got home, I picked up the rest of the show online.

    Believe it or not, I have never written a letter to tell someone that I liked what they had to say, mainly because there is so little if any of it around.
    I also heard what you said towards the end of your program about staying on "radio." It will be a shame to have you leave, but I totally understand. I've been unemployed for some time now and I feel somewhat of the same thing. The world is upside down and not only are the people that normally couldn't get a job because of not being professional, the things they say and total lack of common sense and so much more, not only have jobs, but they are in charge now! And like you said, things that what you were fired for are now the norm and "we" are now the outsiders.
    Anyway, I just wanted to let you know. I hear you. And you're not alone.
    You have a new listener.

  • Please keep the show
    For the mourning talk radio scene here in Orlando, this show is a welcome relief from all the other B-S shows around this area. I do hope 96.5 keeps this program on the air. I dont always agree with you guy's but that is what makes the show so good. Most of the other shows just float around and dont comitt to anything and will not take a stand on anything wrong or right. Thanks for keeping the show fresh and i hope to be listing to yall for a long time here in Orlando.
  • Keep the show
    I was listening today and bubba was saying how he might get pulled from the Orlando and Miami markets. Please keep him in orlando, I actually gave up Sirius because he was coming to regular radio. I will now listen to whtq and if he is gone I will be as well. Thanks for the consideration.
  • Thanks Guys!
    Your show rocks!!! Listen everyday and love it.
  • U
    U R a want a be Howard Stern
  • One man's opinion
    I try hard to listen to your show but ALWAYS get pissed off and OFFENDED; and hell no I ain't some dumb ass pansy or stupid bitch. Please let me get this off my chest; I see you as an arrogant,self important bore. Any caller who disagrees w/you gets shouted down and criticized with your sophmoric, rude, obnoxious rhetoric. You pretend you can't see why listeners are upset by Kaylee Anthony song; but I wager you know it's cruel and mean spirited. It minimalizes the horror this little girl endured and mocks her death. Be honest man, you as a human being have to see it's insensitive. To me you're a loudmouth, spoiled,self absorbed 'shock jock' like so many others who will do anything for shock value. Do you have a soul?
  • Your Show
    I have been listen to your show on and off for about three months. At First all you were doing is talking about MJ and what a Dirt Bag that he was. Your show has moved on with other subjects some interesting and some boring. Your show is like a scab that won't heal because you keep picking at it. Let Hogan fight his own battles and keep you show interesting and a fresh dose daily. Or sell your show to Ned he is the only one in your CREW that knows what He's doing.
  • Caylee song
    The song I heard on your show this morning about a murdered child with lyrics to the beat of "My Humps" was heartless and cruel. I hope everyone out there who supports this song will someday experience the same sorrow and pain that she and her family have. Maybe then you can understand how destructive the choice to air that song was.
  • WOW
    At first I wasen't sure! I'm a rocker!But I can listen to the same ol same ol anytime. BUBBA ROCKS!!! I now look (listen) forward TO BUBBA & CREW in the morning, the parody songs by all are great. Sometimes the truth hurts.What the F#!k If you don't like change the station don't complain to sponsors you dumb ass.I also like the fact that at exactly 10:00 they don't pull the plug if there ON!!! They keep going. KUDOS keep it up. The hell with the GOLD digger L. HOGAN she shouldn't even be aloud to use the name. GO HOLLYWOOD!!! BUBBA keep on keepin it real!!! I can listen to repeats any time.How refreashing to hear it like it is. I LIKE.
  • zellwood, fl
    Listening to your show this morning. Are you that stupid-you dont know where Zellwood, Fl is? Orange County. And you kept going on and on about it. Dont make yourself seem ignorant.
  • Your Show
    Your show is dead on man. Your views are met with aggeravition because everyone wants "the dirt brushed under the rug" too afraid to face the REAL WORLD. Get with it folfs, this IS the world we live in. Bad things happen, it's up to us to change that! Stop hurting our kids, they ARE our future! Keep playing the Kaligh Anthony songs, keep letting everyone know how Bad it really is out there. Sir, I drive a truck everyday, all over this great state of Florida, it's the best thing to see so many wonderful sights and places this place has to offer. I also see some of the stupidsted people. Bubba, I love this state, and I love the people, Lets band together and "get it right". Stop the hurt, the pain, the wrong, we are AMERICANS damnit act like it!!! Ric Limandri, Army Member!
  • honesty
    I have just spent two weeks on holiday in Orlando and listened to bubba every morning, what a great show and refreshing change to be able to hear it told as it is, rather than being sensored incase you offend someone, as you are on our politically correct uk broadcasting.
  • Candidacy for Mayor of Orlando, 2012
    Bubba, my name is David Mesirow. I am running for Mayor of Orlando in 2012 and I am in the process of building a large grassroots and media campaign. I was just recommended to your show by some friends who are fans of yours! I just wanted to introduce myself! I was hoping I could maybe get to make an appearance on your show! ~David
  • bubba army
    music radio sucks. Thank you bubba and crew for the Years of great radio.. FTE rollin out, smell ya soon.
  • Bubba Army
    To everyone who doesn't like Bubba's show, I ask one thing of you:
    Listen for one week. Just one week. When you catch on to the lingo and the antics, you'll love the show. When I first started listening to the show in '97 in Tampa, I didn't get it either. Now I can't go without it. I listen to the morning show, then switch over to the Sat radio at 3pm to catch whatever I missed. It really is that good. So give it a shot. I won't cost you anything, and at least you'll know. And around 10:40am, you can get right back to your Foghat and Def Leppard.
  • This mornings economic/political talk
    First time I listened to the Bubba show. The economic talk made some sense and then the discussion turned political stating that conserative talk show host did not agree with the stimulus package and trashing President Obama. I started to buy into the fact that you were objective so I continued to listen. Then you called President Bush a buffoon and Sarah Palin a stupid b!@#h. Now thats funny. You criticize talk show hosts for something and you immediatly do the same thing. The I realized this must be some type of comedy show. The issues Americans are facing now can be traced to specific congressional representatives looking the other way while the Clinton administration financial mandates are starting to crumble. Check out this video and tell me who left this turd for the Obama administration to deal with - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7Rs&feature=related If you are going to talk politics, at least be informed. If not, stick to the comedy.
  • Thanks
    OMG, Bubba keep talking, forget the ones that say less talking. Your show is great and real keep it that way.(I almost hit a car today when one of ya ,sead, it was a Fag free friday, would that make it a Good Friday lol.
  • Bubba
    I would rather listen to Rock and Roll not this goof!!!!
  • Bubba needs to pack it in
    Thanks to Bubba and his prattle, I now listen to by DVD or 98.9 in the AM. This was HTQ's worst decision yet. Bubba is aimed at an audience that likes bubble-gum music, not people who relish classic rock.
  • Thanks
    All I can say is praise the Lord for ipods
  • LOL
    Lol at these clowns comparing Bubba to Mancow... sure, Bubba is actually a man cow, but he's nowhere close to being as bad as Mancow. Lex and Terry are garbage...thank god Bubba's back.
  • Changed my Mornings
    Glad to have Bubba on in Orlando. The Monster's used to be good, but now are washed up, and Lex & Terry just plain suck! Bubba is a welcomed change in the morning. & NED ROCKS!
  • want my old rock and roll back. not Bubba blowing his own horn bs
  • Glad I can hear you without have to try to tune into a tampa station. Great Show.
  • Bubba rocks
    If you let do his Sirius format.
    I listened to him while I lived in Tampa.
    now that I'm in orlando and he's here.
    Thank GAWD!!
  • Yuck
    Thank the good Lord for CD players.. I use mine exclusively from 6 to 10 in the mornings.
  • Bubba the second-rate Mancow
    like "Lost listener" below, i've quit your station (for now). i'd much rather hear rock 'n roll than even the MOST entertaining show, but this guy's plain poor. poor parodies, uninteresting drama (battles with Clearwater gov't? i don't care). are you going the way of MTV (much drama, little music)?. as i said in the subject line, the guy's a second-rate version of Mancow (wiki as necessary). having said that, i don't have anything against the guy and i respect him for his success. i just don't want to hear him.
  • Welcome Buba
    Buba Rocks!! Thank you WHTQ for giving us some Fun in the Morning....The monsters do not have a Chance!!! Thanks. Bubba Find Savanna and you will Own Orlando!!!
  • Lost listener
    I quit WHTQ in the mornings since Dumba the dishrag came on.
  • Officer shot by teenager in St. Pete
    Bubba, I've listened to you for year and love your show. This morning, 1/28/09, I heard about the officer shot by that jitterbug in St. Pete and his "socially defunct" family. Hearing them speak made me wish that forced sterilization was in place sometimes. I'm in Law Enforcement in Orlando and I want to thank you for standing along side of us when tragedies like these happen. I'm glad you're on 96.5 now. Orlando needed some class in the morning. Any chance of bringing back Redneck Monday and Lesbian Tuesday like you did on 97.9???
  • morring
    what about playing more music and less talk
  • I MOVED TO NEW SMYRNA BEACH FROM TAMPA 6 MONTHS AGO AND AM DAMN GLAD YOUR CREW STARTED BROADCASTING OUT THIS WAY. I REALLY DONT SEE HOW ANYBODY CAN THINK LEX N TERRY CAN EVEN COMPARE. THEY ARE DUMBASS MARKS. I BEEN SPREADED THE WORD OF YOUR SHOW TO NEWBEES, AND FIZZUCK IZZOFF ALL YOU OTHERS TALKIN SHIZZIT.

    LONG LIVES HOGAN, HIS FOOTPRINT WILL STAY
  • Bubba Rocks
    I am a huge fan of bubba -from years ago on several other radio stations and am so glad*** he is back*** He makka me laugh, anyhoo I was noticing you can get a bubba T Shirt at certain areas...I WANT one!!! Nothing will mean more than having Bubba painted all over my breasts...xoxoxox
  • Bubba
    Love it! It is about time we had some pizzaz around here. He's the best.
  • Finally Bubba is back in Orlando
    I am so glad WHTQ got Bubba! I had completely stopped listening to the station when Dixon & Willoughby came along. That was boring radio. Finally there's something funny to listen to in the mornings. The music has gotten better over the last several months as well. I'll keep rockin' with Bubba!
  • Morning show
    It's different, I'll give you that. I do miss hearing some morning rock & roll music. If I wanted to wake-up hearing a bunch of guys yelling/chanting and talking over-one-and other, I would have stayed in the monastery.
  • too much talk, not enough music
    I miss the previous morning show guys...at least there was music in the morning...all I get with this show is 5 guys trying to talk over one another...isn't that what AM radio is for?
  • can we talk about anything other than mj
    ONe Word...BORING
  • That's how you produce
    Welcome Bubba! Best thin in Orlando mornings in a LONG time! RIGHT ON
  • Right On
    ABOUT TIME--GOOD MORNING RADIO IS FINALLY BACK IN ORLANDO!
  • its about time
    those morons on 1011 are clown shoes. everytime my radio pre-sets hit that now I get a bit dumber.

    its pretty bad when someone like me gets annoyed at how retarded they are. Lex and terry are the worst thing to happen to radio.

    big up to yall for finally bringing something awesome to orlando.
  • BTLS
    Sorry, but after listening for a few mornings, I find the show boring...not that there is any other morning show in Orlando that isn't...it's just not entertaining...
  • All Hail Bubba!
    Free at last from Clear Channel! My co-workers have turned off the monsters and their boiler room bigots and their "Larry the Cable Guy" rip-off, Shannon 'Toxic-Texan' Burke, Jim Philips and his band of 'Know-Nothing' in-studio Sycophants. They've put on WHTQ. Finally ITELLIGENT radio and great music!
  • Bubba Army
    Bubba is the best thing going today in Orlando radio.
    WHTQ will be #1 in the mornings in no time.
    I'm telling everyone I know to listen.
