Things get wild when Bubba’s sister Tara and Mom call into the show for a family holiday segment that goes completely off the rails. Bubba navigates talk of forbidden Christmas gifts, calls out Mom’s claim of being a virgin before marriage, and somehow still ends up the golden child. Tara takes on Christmas dinner duties with Bubba’s favorites, lasagna, scalloped potatoes, and cream pie (not that kind). At the same time, Bubba can’t resist roasting her about money, marriage, and her so-called magic nuclear love life. Classic Bubba chaos, family-style.

Bubba and the crew tackle a packed show filled with headlines and surprises. They break down new twists in the Epstein files and DOJ controversy, react to a presidential speech, and debate whether Jake Paul’s boxing events are the real deal or reality TV in disguise. The team also warns listeners about a reported Pornhub data breach and shares tips for staying secure online. Plus, it all culminates in the world premiere of Brooke Hogan’s new song, "Wanna Go Back," featuring a photo montage video created by Gary Cantrell and a plan to share it across their platforms.

Things get rowdy fast on The Bubba The Love Sponge® Show when former NHL enforcer Steve Oleksy rolls in wearing what Bubba calls a “Cam Newton–meets–Amish outlaw” outfit. The crew can’t stop roasting him for his wide-brim hat, quilted cape-jacket, and barn-builder aesthetic before even hitting the hockey talk. Wow Dude, from “rock star hair with hat insecurity” to full-blown locker-room roasting and shower jokes, it’s classic Bubba chaos, proving once again that no guest escapes the fire, even if they’ve dropped gloves in the big leagues. Wait! What about the part Seth said, let's compare weaners? Who writes this? Seth probably. #SteveOleksy

The Bubba The Love Sponge® Show gets real about what’s next, announcing the big return to mornings on January 5, a new streaming-style studio redesign, and a spike in replays after experimenting with a Late Mornings/Mid-day Shows. Bubba and the crew pull back the curtain on the business side of radio, from donor-driven production to reinventing how the show connects with its Army.

Then, hockey enforcer Steven Oleksy joins in with brutal honesty and battle scars, recounting Stanley Cup memories, fight techniques, and why authentic jerseys tell real locker-room stories. The talk heats up with political breakdowns of Susie Wiles’ explosive Vanity Fair quotes, speculation on Trump’s potential marijuana policy shift, and debate over a disturbing, high-profile, close-to-home crime case that tests the line between justice and mental health.

The show wraps with donation plugs, laughter, and promises of more chaos (and stitches) to come when mornings return. #TheBubbaArmy

It’s all action and no downtime on today’s Bubba The Love Sponge® Show as the crew plans a full-throttle behind-the-scenes outing at Elevate featuring bowling, go-kart battles, and maybe a few bruised egos.

The boys also pitch a new wrestling mini-series, digging into the sport’s most legendary “high spots” and backstage secrets, trading classic locker-room stories about Hogan, Andre, and Macho Man.

Off the ice, Bubba rants about brutal commutes and busted schedules, reacts to Clearwater’s now-infamous viral harassment video, and questions whether Coach Gruden ever opened his Bubba Army gift box (spoiler: Bubba’s checking). Toss in a WWE ring collapse throwback and a Susie Wiles Vanity Fair dust-up, and you’ve got a show that hits harder than a cross-check to the boards. #BubbaTheLoveSponge
