Bubba the Love Sponge® | Fire Stick Side Hustle

When His Fire Stick Side Hustle Ended Up on Grady Judd’s Radar.

A side hustle at a flea market turns into something nobody saw coming. Luis Vazquez says he was just trying to make extra money during COVID, selling modified Fire Sticks, like countless others at the time. What followed was a full law enforcement operation, a public press conference, and a mugshot that went viral nationwide. In this episode, Bubba breaks down how a low-level side hustle escalated into a major police sting, why Sheriff Grady Judd’s office took such a hard public stance, and how the entire case ultimately fell apart. If you follow true crime stories, law enforcement takedowns, or the kind of real-world crime narratives popularized by creators like Matt Cox, this story checks every box. It raises real questions about selective enforcement, public pressure, and how fast a normal working guy can get caught up in something much bigger than he ever imagined. Listen to the full story and decide for yourself what really happened here.
