BTLS | 8AM Mon, Jan. 5 - "Maduro On Ice"!

Bubba and the crew get uncomfortably real as Larry lays out how one brutal slip on the ice left him barely able to walk, with an MRI showing multi-level lumbar damage, a loose disc fragment, spinal stenosis, and nerve root compression from L3 through S1. They talk through his game plan of injections, stretching, traction, and physical therapy to dodge the knife for as long as possible, while everyone reacts to how close he came to total shutdown. The conversation then swings global as the show breaks down reports that Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro has been grabbed by U.S. forces on narco-terrorism and weapons charges, noting how China, Russia, and North Korea backed him while China bought up Venezuelan oil. Bubba’s crew compares the move to the Noriega era, walks through what a federal arraignment and trial could look like, and wonders whether Maduro ends up convicted, flipped, or folded into a historic plea deal.
