BTLS | 9AM Wed. Apr. 8 - Video Killed the Radio Star, Hogan’s Tape, and Bubba’s Doc Play

On this episode of the Bubba the Love Sponge® Show, Bubba pulls back the curtain on his documentary Video Killed the Radio Star and how he plans to roll it out right on the heels of Netflix’s Hogan doc, aiming to drop his project about a month later to scoop up fans still hungry for the full story. He walks listeners through the Hogan sex tape saga, the chain of possession, Gawker’s courtroom beating, Peter Thiel’s backing, Cox and advertiser pressure, and the deal where Bubba signed over tape rights and paid $5,000 to get himself out of Hogan’s lawsuit, while venting that many of the people who actually moved the tape never really paid a price. From there, Bubba talks strategy: using a likely free three-part release on the new platform, leaning on old-school archived calls, and pumping out AI-generated shorts and reels to promo the doc and fill in anything Netflix skips or sanitizes about one of the wildest chapters in his career.
