Check it one, two, pop of the love sponge dot com. Say it. Everybody locked in at the same time. Raise your voice. Let the whole world see. And your fan base louder than the Bubba Army. Bubba Army. Bubba Army. Woo! Previously. Previously on the Bubba Love Sponge Show. Without a rubber. It's a joke of a meteorologist. It's like a show. Yeah. He does these little birthday wishes to grandma in the nursing home. He's shunned by the weather community, Lummi. It looks like, yes, it looks like Jim Cantora is their god. Jim Cantora is the meteorologist god, and Al Roker is the... They've shunned Al. They've embraced Mike's weather page. You're listening to the Bubba the Love Sponge Show.

And I have mixed emotions when we get in on Wednesday because I find Gene Lasker, yes, because of you. Because, you know, I like Gene. It's a nice change of pace from Dan. They have different dynamics. and then I know I got Brian in between Gene on Friday and Gene's fun, but sometimes he wears me out. He really does. I'm thinking that probably anybody that's close to you, Gene, probably has the same feelings. There's nobody close to me. What, your wife? Well, yeah. Okay. Colbin? Okay. Me? I don't wear them out. Hold on, me? Yeah. Kurt Morgan? Okay. Well, I mean, you got some friends that probably... Which I saw Bobby yesterday. Bobby loves you, but he'd probably be, Bobby, if he was to be intellectually honest, would say, Lasker's a handful. I mean, you know, you just, Lasker's different than any other of my friends and how you have to kind of, you know, you kind of got to like, just kind of keep a leash on them. Or things could go awry. And so intensify the live as it's happening. We got to be careful what we say factor. When we're just hanging out with Gene Lasker at the track or in a shop, you don't have to be on alert. But when we're on alert. You're always worried about what I'm going to say? Yeah. So, Lummi, I don't want Macho Man to play this. But, you know, today I have a 10-15 Zoom interview with Christian Watson's father, who's from Tampa. And he actually plays. His name is James Timothy Watson. Now, he changed his name to, I think, like Tasm Wajid. Wajid. I don't know if he's going to his African roots. Yeah, that's what he's doing. What he's doing. But he, I think, resides in Tampa. Christian Watson, formerly from North Dakota State, a second-round draft pick, I think, in 2022 for the Green Bay Packers. As you know, I'm a huge Packer fan. Our after-hour show that we do off of terrestrial radio and off of syndication can be whatever. From Seth's blizzard breaks to me interviewing a current starting Packers father who has a podcast and is very critical and very knowledgeable about the game and, in fact, played the game. Got drafted by Green Bay, oddly enough, in 1993 as a sixth rounder. Got cut in training camp. Went to Philadelphia. I think got cut. Went back to Green Bay. Got cut. and then end up getting on, taking on, I think he played two years for Kansas City, a year for the Giants, and a year for the Eagles, then dabbled around the Arena League, the World League. He went to Barcelona, Arizona Rattlers, and things like that. One of the things, and I want you and Seth, football enthusiasts, to see this. This is, and you told me that he doesn't pull any punches. Like, I don't necessarily have to hold back. This isn't a Packer-endorsed podcast where I can't voice my displeasure for their general manager, Gookie. I think he's an ass bucket. I think Gookie, the general manager of the Green Bay Packers, is one of the reasons why the Packers are struggling and haven't won a championship since 2011 or 2012 with Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers. And I think Gookie has completely screwed. I mean, he's had some flashes of brilliance in the draft, but not a lot. Christian Watson, who now I think is entering into his last year of his contract, which I'm going to ask him that too. He's obviously the number. Now, he was injured for half of the games last year. But when he did come back game eight, I don't know if you guys know this, he led the league in yards per catch when he finally came back last year. And so one thing that sticks out with Christian Watson, number two overall pick in 2022, was, and this is unheard of. So the very first game in 2020, I don't know if this is, yeah, 2022. The very first game in 2022, the Packers are playing Minnesota in Minnesota. Now, this is the very first play the Packers had the ball. Minnesota got the ball, marched down, and scored a touchdown. Packers are down 7-0. They got the ball on the 20. Maybe the ball on the 20. I don't know where the ball is. It shows Aaron launching it from like the 20, about the 16. So this is rare that your rookie guy, your number two overall draft pick, who has 4.38 speed. And by the way, the one thing about Christian Watson, if he can ever stay healthy, he's a stud. He's 6'3", 210, which is like a Mike Evans side. One of the reasons Evans did so well is because he was so big, but he was so fast. I saw him on Saturday, this past Saturday. Was he bigger than you thought? He looks like Mike Evans. Yes. Or his body build, I'm saying. A lot of people have compared his body build to Evans. And so this is the very first play that he ever was a Green Bay Packer. And this is what he's forever noted for. Now, I don't want to play this on the air, because we'll get a copyright strike. But I just wanted to show you and Seth, they had this much confidence in a rookie. This is your first play of the season. Not just your first play. This was the first game, first play from the Packers. And watch this. Aaron Rodgers, back-to-back MVP, rookie wide receiver, touched the knee out. That's his first play. Had the guy beat by what? Five, four yards? That was a walk-in touchdown. Aaron Rodgers, back-to-back MVP. I mean, look at the separation there. MVP, rookie. Can you put the ball? Can you put it any better? I trusted Jake Kummerow and Jeff Janis. I'd never throw to him again. He was wanting just Donald Driver back. My goodness. Christian Watson. I mean, look at Rodgers. Are you kidding me? First play up as a Green Bay Packer, and you're just showing your blistering 4-3-8 speed at 6-3. Aaron Rodgers, back-to-back MVP, rookie wide receiver, touchdown. And that is the first play of the whole game. Of the Packers possession. Of the Packers possession. Yeah, when the Packers first got the ball. I mean, very rarely, let me, does your first play of the season going to be a 75-yard skinny post bomb. No, you could have dumped it off to, what's that? Yeah, plenty of people. I mean, look at this guy. I think this is Marquise Lewis, or Mercedes Lewis. He's wide open. Aaron Rodgers, back-to-back MVP. But so is he. Look at this. And that's a touchdown. And that's how we play the game. And right there is a complete. My goodness. So I'm going to actually I'm going to actually have. I sent you an article of what his dad pretty much thought of, like the Packers playoff game. Like he made headlines of he wasn't too happy with Matt. And I wonder, Seth, don't sometimes when players, significant others or fathers or brothers or just somebody in their family gets kind of lippy on social media and maybe causes a distraction. Wasn't there a guy in Miami who had a wife that would go completely insane and like start all kinds of problems socially? Yeah, Miko Grimes. Yes. Yes. And didn't he spend some time with the with the Bubs? He did, Brent Grimes. He did, yeah. Yeah. And so I wonder if the Packers, because, I mean, Christian Watson's dad's got some pretty good numbers, social media. And so he's not one to hold back, Lummi? No. No, he gets attention. Worst job of coaching I've ever seen. Christian Watson's father once Matt LaFleur fired after Packers done a disastrous collapse to the Bears in the playoffs. Doesn't he sound like you a little bit? Yeah, I think we might end up being best friends. so you know good i'm gonna actually gonna keep this article today uh and and i got a couple other packer related stuff to to pull up uh including i think they've completely just screwed the pooch and and free agency they are so thin at corner cornerback they're thin at offensive line they they're thin at defensive line they let you know they let i don't know how many they're they're putting all their i mean michael parsons yes i'm a big believer but he's i don't know you know when he's going to come back from his acl and they got they got they shipped rashawn gary former number one bust to to dallas for a fourth rounder um they got that look with that um who was that guy from iowa luke vaness no yeah it might have been him yeah luke vaness he was a he was a number one defensive end edge rusher out of Iowa. He's currently on his, I think, maybe they haven't picked up his fifth-year option because he's been insignificant, undersized. Let Quay Walker go, let Romeo Dobbs go. Yep. They let Rasheem, they let the tackle, Rasheed Wallace, offensive tackle go. So they, I mean, they're just, they picked up, I think they picked up the defensive lineman from, they picked up a linebacker from the Colts, whoever that guy was. Sire Franklin. Yeah, they picked up him. And then I think they picked up, I don't know. It just, I got, I got, I got, hold on, let me, it says Trayvon Diggs claimed off of waivers from Dallas. Yeah, I think he got But I think they cut him Yeah, I don't think he's on the team anymore They cut him after one week Yeah I wonder why, like, okay Because Micah Parsons wanted them to sign him Oh, is that how it went? Yep, yep They're best buddies Well, it lasted a week, didn't it? He was totally washed That guy's been a bust, hasn't he? I had a couple great seasons But it ends fast when you're a cornerback Yeah, you get burned three or four or five times, and you're pretty much done. Lasker, I put up on our Facebook yesterday that you were getting your horn installed. Here it is. Horn blasters. Did you see the post? No. You didn't? I did. Those guys were really, I mean, they were talking about how bad Lasker's car smelled. Well, it probably smells like a kennel. Well, they said it smelled like, I don't know, Doritos. Good morning, Bubba Army. We got Gene Lasker's truck in here. It smells like McDonald's and Great Danes. It's so full of baloney. McDonald's and Great Danes. I had a McDonald's in eight months. There's no way. Gene weighs 215 pounds. He's not eating that filth. I don't eat McDonald's anyway. Matt Heller was just trying to be funny. No, he's a funny guy. He was out there being funny in the parking lot, too. When's the last time you ate fast food, Gene? They did vacuum it out, though, for you, right, Gene? Yeah, but they had to drill some holes and stuff to run the wire in. Oh, okay. So they had a little fragments. Just to make it smell a little. When's the last time you ate fast food? Eight months. Good morning, Bubba Army. We got Gene Lasker's truck in here. It smells. Shut up, Gene. I'm playing the video. It's like McDonald's and Great Dane, so we are vacuuming it out here just to make it smell a little bit better. But, yeah, what a beautiful giant F-350. We are putting a Hornblasters spare tire delete on this thing. Got to back the blue, baby. Hornblasters.com. Yeah, we're just going to clean this out for him. It smells like death. Shout out Gene Lasker. And, yeah, all right. I said smells like death. Dude, he went from Great Danes and McDonald's to death. I mean, it was only going to get worse if that video kept going. Anyway, Gene, I posted it up. I think it did real well on the views. I also reposted a Morgan exterior commercial. You know, let me like this. There's such a sense of comfort and security. You know, you don't have to close yourself and your family off from the outside world. The first thing we do, we get up, we open all of these windows to have this outside environment that comes in and feel safe and secure at the same time. These beautiful new windows have offered. I don't think anybody could break through this window. Let me, Morgan Exteriors. I've got to actually start following. Me and my family. Great peace of mind. I don't think anybody could break through. Wesley Chapel, Volkswagen. I've got to start following Crystal River, Harley Davidson. So one of the things you get when you advertise with us is we'll repost some of your Facebook deals and get you some good traffic. So thank you to Morgan Exteriors. I think Kurt Morgan texted me yesterday. I got to get him out. Gene, I need to build a closet in my bathroom. I think that's what they do. They'll do it. He'll get it handled, will he not? That's what he said. I already told him. Now, how do you like it? I heard you pull in today with your horn That horn ridiculous You mean ridiculous It the loudest thing you ever heard and it great for blue dots man the blue dot people are really going to get the blue dot of it seth can you help me out with this what's a blue daughter is that a is that a is that a cop no are you talking about the blue square no no no don't make me not say what the blue square this is blue dot don't match with the blue square this is a blue dot these are democrats from north that moved down to Florida. Oh, the Blue Daughters. Yeah, so the Blue Daughters, you pull up next to one of them and just roll your window down, and they're looking at you like, why is he rolling his window down? And then smile, and then hit that horn. They make a left. Well, they probably jump. Yeah, as they jump, they veer a left to get away from you because they don't know what the heck is going on. You think they think they're here. And then they pull up next to you and go like, what was that for? I said, go home. Oh, you tell them. Yeah, go home. You tell them to go home. Yeah, you see that you've got a Pennsylvania tag or a New York tag. Tell them to go home. Yeah, well, I think maybe next week I'm scheduled to take my F-150 in. Oh, nice. Because I have, let me, I think the actual, my kit. It's in the pantry. In the pantry. Yep. I might unload that or drive my truck tomorrow or something and unload it or load it up so I have it. And one, it'll help relieve some of the stuff that's in the pantry. So can you pull that out for me? Yes, I do. It's all in a box, isn't it? Oh, yeah, there's two boxes. Yep, I know exactly where it is. Gene, how long did it take for the install? Well, I dropped it off at 9. They called me at 5 and told me to come get it. Really? Yep. Wow. So you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to start going on 54. On those tracks? Yeah, and I'm going to get side by side with somebody. And as we just get to the track, I'll be on just like that. And then they're going to look to the right because that's where the trains come from. But I'll be in the way because my big dually. And they'll be jamming on the break. I mean, I wonder what, you know, we've not, with regards to the new studio, we've not. Yeah, Macho's been trying to avoid talking about that. Oh, does Macho hate it? Yeah. Yes. Macho, your mic is live. Would you like to chime in on the possible addition and or deletion of the studio horn in the new studios? I think we could just do a button bar sound effect and be just effective and not blow our ears out every time I'm in there with you. Well, like that's obnoxious as hell, man. It's crazy. Yeah. Right in the back of my head. And I'll blame him. But, you know, it's a good additive for the people to hear, though. I mean, it gets people's attention, and that's what we're here for. Yeah. It's a good additive. Yeah. It's an older bunch with the show. We could really cause somebody some distress. Yeah, we're doing a fresh start here. Let's upgrade the horn. Oh, upgrade the horn. You'll get a better horn. Page change. Yeah, I don't know where we would put the horn. Nowhere, I think is what he's saying. Right under your seat. You know where we could put it, though, Mach? where we could put it now we now just i want you to keep an open mind because i do would like to i would like to have it but i'm open-minded enough and i'm this is your studio your i've designed it with you and we've made some changes along the ways together and but this is your like this is your complete empty canvas we've hung the tvs where you want we're going to put we're doing everything so that it you know it's your it's your place you're wiring it up to be easy and efficient and less cluttered and it's you know it's a smaller space uh better lighting uh behind me is going behind me is going to be a video wall that consists of four 100 inch tvs that macho man will be able to put all hooked together all hooked together macho it's my understanding they'll be hooked together right where they all can sync up and do various things well yeah it's going to look like a big video wall like you know we can't 200 by 200 yeah yeah it's 200 by 200 wow yeah 200 by 200 behind me and then but then there's going to be various you know tvs in in the studio along with bubble army signs the place i was there yesterday and it is like you can tell We have a lot of soundproofing in here. We do. We have a lot. And the room is dead. It's a dead, and that's what you want a broadcast room to feel is have a dead, dull, sound dampening feel. Man, we have so much sound insulation from the ceiling. And by the way, it's a much smaller space because we don't need this much space. We don't need a stage anymore. We don't need a shower anymore. We don't need a stripper pole, which we cut down years ago. So, you know, all we need is enough for us and a little podcasting area and Macho Man's engineering. Like we don't need a backup studio like we have now. And, you know, Macho Man's area can be scaled down a little bit. The rack room can be incorporated into the studio so you see some of the lights and things. But Macho, just a suggestion. but maybe we could put the horn upstairs yeah and that would kind of definite a little bit and it would be you know well i guess right now it's kind of far from you and there's concrete that separates you uh and the and the horn but what would you what would be your thoughts if we put it upstairs yeah put it right above my head no no no no no no no no no no i know i know you're talking about it definitely bleed through there if i put it if you if you go up the stairs right and you put it in that corner where like literally above my head like in that corner you put it literally above my head and which would be not over your head what do you think about that you're not gonna let this go are you well no i am gonna let it go if you're like i really don't want that horn in there you know but i think he's already but i but i think that it you know like let me when we get like when john costica whips out 200 bucks i know i mean we gotta no horn john costica no horn no john costica said he loves the horn john john costica would never would never say no how about my glow bugs did you forget her you know what i probably did oh you did last week too no i did not forget glow bug last week no i did not absolutely i did not Stop. Stop with your nonsense. Because you can even ask Glowbug. I gave her a shout. Yes, Glowbug. This morning at exactly 5.39. Wow. That was almost an hour ago. Damn Glow. Sorry, Gloria. Gloria, I've got to talk to you about possible venues for something. I need to get with you. So anyway, much. I don't want to be dying negative, so we'll try that. And worst case scenario, we can put it in a sound box or something. Yeah, exactly. And don't forget that upstairs I just had insulated with that open cell foam deal, which is good insulation. And, you know, so, yeah, we could. Or we could just put it right next to Lummi's feet since he likes it so much. No, we're not going to do that. So aggressive. I love it. Put a big smile on the face when you said that. Very aggressive. Yeah. And actually, upstairs, let me, you know, in our little upstairs area above the studios, there's an upstairs. I've completely insulated it now with that open cell, you know, spray-on foam insulation, which is going to, you know, really cut down. And then I'm also going to put a dehumidifier up there. Perfect. And I was thinking about maybe a little window unit set like at 77, 76, just to always keep it cool and the atmosphere up there. Because I think the cooler that the – this is an attic. I think the cooler the attic is, the cooler it will keep us downstairs, I think. Yes. all you need is like a breather fan unit on the ends and put a temperature switch on it when it gets hot up there the fan will turn on and suck it right out yeah but we'll be used yeah greg d 20 dollars but we're putting some stuff up there too oh okay you can store and stuff yeah we're gonna be all the stuff that we got stored yeah um let me oh by the way lasker did you take Did Coben, when we were moving, all my 2050, my 50-weight race oil and my 70-weight. We put it in the back of your truck. No, but where's my 20-weight? Because I had a bunch. Whatever was separated out, we put it in the back of your truck. Can you just make sure that Coben didn't load up a bunch of 20-weight for you? Because that's all me for my Crown Vic and my Camry and for my truck. Yeah. But will you double check? I'll look, yeah. It's all just stacked up there by my driveway. Yeah, because I need all that 20 weight, and you don't. Nope. But you need that 50 and 70 weight for your sprint car. Yep. Thank you. Now this weight, and you don't. Nope. Damn it. I'm sorry. What happened there? We just got a little feedback deal. Now, Lommy, this is the initial story, and Lasker, you've been in the Hillsborough County Jail. You think? Probably. Oh, actually, this is the, I think. I don't know if. I can tell you how many steps this is from there to that door. And so you probably never saw anything like this, like anybody get killed. At the jail? Yeah. No. And so this is the original story. And jail justice has a way of just working itself out sometimes. Because when you're a chomo. Oh, no, no. They have to guard you. Yeah, they usually put you in another unit. But a lot of times, like, there's chomos and then there's chomos. The good cop will slip out and drop them off into the wrong room. Well, this is the original story from this guy, and then I got a follow-up story that dropped yesterday. This is the original one. A Hernando County grand jury has... By the way, let me, it's only on the left channel. That's not us or people's stereo. It's channel 8. It's channel 8. Guided Nathan Holmberg on multiple counts of sex crimes against children, and now prosecutors want him to pay for this with his life. In this case, like this is one of the I think we just passed a bill about a year ago in the state of Florida that if you have capital sexual battery on a child, which I think is a child that like might be under under 10 or 12, like it's such a bad. You know, usually they don't put you to death on stuff like this. You'll spend the rest of your life in prison and you're a chomo. But very, but now. It's not fixable. But I'm all for it. Like, regardless of your political affiliation, whether you believe in the death penalty or not, if you're going to, and listen, in order to get it elevated to this, I think, like, you have to have penetrated like somebody under 10. Under 12. Under 12. Under 12. There you go. So you've got to penetrate. Chirping up spice. $20. Thank you, my friend. Hey, the dude in the back, back there, the police officer in the back, blinking his eyes a little bit. This one or this one? That one and the one to the right of him. Yeah, them two guys right then and there when he's saying that he wants a death penalty, they're going, hey, that's no problem. We will be seeking the death penalty. A 25-charge indictment has been issued against a man sitting in the Hernando County Jail. Nathan Holmberg is charged with a laundry list of sex crimes against children. The evidence shows, by the way, all under 12, in order for it to be capital and warrant the death penalty, you got... How did he get a chance to do all that? I don't know. Work in a children's home or something? I don't know. That or you. are doing it to relatives or something. Let's listen to it. This individual engaged in sexual abuse with a three-year-old. Oh. I'm going to kill him by bare hands. Oh. That's why he got put in the wrong cell. Three. Like, Fernando County got cops. Good for you guys, man. Not only did he engage in these horrific physical acts, but he also filmed them. Attorney General James. Oh, that's the idiot. Yeah. Yeah, I can just tell you right now, this guy's an absolute scumbag. Meyer believes Holmberg cannot be rehabilitated. We will be doing everything we can legally to send him to meet his maker. State Attorney Bill Gladson says so far they have five separate victims in Hernando County alone. I should stress the indictment issued by the grand jury was for crimes that occurred here in Hernando County only. And statewide prosecutor Rita Peters will be assisting to make sure victims throughout the state get justice. Part of this investigation goes outside of Hernando County, and we will take the baton from the Fifth Judicial Circuit and continue this investigation wherever the facts may lead. Sheriff Al Neenheim says Holmberg had made around 600 pictures and videos of him abusing children. 600 pictures, more importantly, 600 videos of him having sexual intercourse with children as low as three. When you're talking about victims that are between three years old and the oldest 10 years old who'd been victimized for a while, these are true victims. The state attorney here in Hernando County says Holmberg will remain in jail on no bond until the conclusion of his charges. In Hernando County, I'm Alessandra Young. Eight on your side. So the good news, the good news comes yesterday. Here we go. Now, I don't know how maybe he was facing charges in here, too. Here, too. So they had him over here, and he was fixing to go see the judge or something. Gene, probably be in hell. Don't mess around Hillsborough County. What I'm saying is, like, they probably transferred him to Hillsborough County because he had done this maybe in Hillsborough County. Like, the woman had said, we're going to pass the baton to other counties so we can ring him up everywhere. And look at this. Last night, or two nights ago, Hillsborough County inmate accused of preying on numerous children dies in custody. uh they uh i don't know necessarily what how he died here uh nathan holmberg a hernando county man in jail after an investigation found that he preyed on numerous children has died in the custody of hillsborough county sheriff's office homegrown 34 so gene that's is that like some guard looking the other way and telling like a lifer or something like that hey i'm gonna be uh i'm gonna be in the bathroom for about eight minutes uh his and he know it mysteriously his gates got his uh his his his cell's going to be unlocked or whatever what that cop does is he tells he they're pods you know you thought the different number of pods right and he'll go to the leader of that pod who the guy and i've been told by by by people that are in jail that there is a leader of the pod yeah there's always the leader of pod because that's the guy who brings out the kool-aid who brings out the cups who brings out the games or the books when you when we're a lot when you're allowed to sit the leader yeah the leader does right and so he tells the leader he tells the leader listen man this guy is you know here gotta go and uh they'll just nod his head you know great and then uh they'll get dumped off in the wrong pod like he's supposed to be in part 15 with all the weirdos then they're not going to kill each other because they're all just they're all chomos they're all chomos and but he'll drive them off with the guys that are 12 yeah breaking an entry uh you know selling a little bit of crack and and and we'll get out in a month homegirl 34 was an inmate the fulken the fulkenberg jail let me not now gina have you been both at fulkenberg and all of them and orient yeah which one's the best been all three i was at the old one too downtown when uh which one's the best there nothing best about any of them really which one the worst uh when uh which one the best there nothing best about any of them really which one the worst Which one the best There nothing best about any of them Really Which one the worst I heard Fulkenberg. Orient's the worst? Yeah, it's worse. Fulkenberg is tough because there's guys that's going to be there for a longer amount of time. Oh, so you might have a more hardened seasoned criminal there? Yeah, they're going to be there for a while. So when you're only going to be there for 10 days or three weeks or so, they're kind of jealous of you. They put you in Orient or they put you in Orient. But if Orient is too busy that night or you pissed off a cop, they'll send you over. So if the cop's taking you to jail, he's got his two options. Oh, yeah. So if you've pissed him off, you're like, OK, I'm going to take you to Folk and Burr. He'll let the court train you over. You know, he'll let the he'll let.

So in 2020, he ran for the office and won. He was asking his staffer at the time who this is – what this story is all about, to send pictures, and I guess when they were together, he wanted to get his testicles squeezed and the whole nine yards. And then in 2024, he admitted to having an affair. Now, I don't know if the person that he had an affair with is the same person that he asked to squeeze his balls, but that person then died of suicide. Ryan Cosman, $10. Thank you, Ryan. appreciate on the uh on the uh on the it was a girl that died or that yeah it was a girl that set herself on fire she would no way is that the way she died seth yeah we've covered this a couple yeah she like was outside in the backyard and she set herself on fire because she squeezes balls i don't know if the ball squeezing is the same girl that killed herself i don't know we'll have to get through here the previously unreported exchanges contained hundreds of messages where uh that were obtained by the newspaper the messages which the newspaper reported a date from gonzalez was a first-time republican candidate in 2020 allegedly show him escalating a late night conversation with his campaign political director and explicit sexual requests over the days so you think he hooked up with two chicks that both committed suicide no no no no i think i think i guess we have to give you get a little further down the uh the story here it's it's one it's one Okay, so the squeeze my balls was also the girl. That was the campaign manager that he later admitted in 2024 that they had an affair, and then she's the one that set herself on fire. Same person. Yeah, the new news here is the squeeze the balls. Everything else is stuff that we've hammered out before. I guess they've gotten the newspaper has finally, through Freedom of Information Act, gotten the text exchanges and the big red herring on there is he was wanting his balls. Oh, no, looks like, Seth, this is a second woman. Uh-oh. Oh, Seth, hold on, Seth. Hold the press, Seth. Let's get through this. It looks like it's a second woman coming out. Who didn't burn herself. No, she just, after he pretty much said he had an affair with the one woman, blah, blah, blah, now she's come out with all these text messages. Within hours of initially discussing her dating life and complimenting her as a smart girl, the alleged texts show that gonzalez asked uh what she wore to bed what type of underwear she was wearing and requested nude photos now here's the deal you're running for congress and you got this girl that is uh you know working as your campaign manager or in your campaign how do you go from at night it's it's late at night and you call her a smart girl that's fine hey i appreciate you you seem like a very smart girl you're going to do good for the campaign Okay, much inbounds, no big deal. How do you go from there? You know, the one thing that they never do is show, like, what were her responses back? Because I think it's a pretty big leap of faith from you to go, in one instance, on the same text thread to call her a smart girl. And then that escalate to, what are you wearing to bed? What kind of underwear do you have on? And I'd like to have sex with you and have you squeeze my balls. You know better than that. All you throw in is a yo-yo-yo. No. And then you get right to the sex part. But what I'm saying is, this guy's a scumbag, obviously. He's a scumbag. Why? Why? But hold on. Don't you think that, in all these stories, and I'm not trying to stick up for men that sexually abuse, you know women and especially women that work for their campaign and they're kind of you know in power of or in charge of bosses and you know like like obviously seth you know vince used his power and rank and ownership of the company to toss that one girl around you know because he was you know the boss and could promise her six-figure jobs and what have you so if you're in the position of authority over a woman, you're her immediate boss or you're the owner of the company or you're the congressional candidate and she's your campaign manager. They have to give you, you just can't go, hey, you're smart. What are you wearing to bed? What kind of underwear you got? Will you squeeze my balls? They never, ever repeat. And I'm not trying to exonerate or get any man that has talked this way to a woman inappropriately off get him off the charges or whatever he could potentially be facing but they never give you her texts you know i'm saying like let me after he called her a smart girl what did she say did she says oh is that who you like and you like or do you like smart girls and then and i'm by the way i'm fixing to go to bed and then he goes well what are you wearing to bed she's like well i'll tell you what i'm wearing about i'm wearing a little lacy gimmick that's see-through according According to her, she kept trying to redirect him, and she said it was like dealing with a toddler. I know, but here's the deal. In order to be able to cover this thing officially so we know the whole dynamic of who said what, don't you think that it would be, since they got his texts, you know that hers are available, right? Have to be, right? Well, one would think. They're not going to show a one-sided text. But the news, probably it's not as salacious, and you don't bury the guy as much. when you put her text in there. Well, if he's innocent and she played along, why is he done with office? Why is he not running for office in January? Because he's got all that accusment. He's got all that accusment on him. It's hard to fight it. Yeah, I mean, you can't fight this, Seth. Like, you know, if you're him. What's there to fight? He had an affair with the staffer. I know that. But, I mean, that's it. I would still want to. Like, yes, I did this. Yes, I did this. six kids or five kids yes i like to do it then yes i did this but let me show you her exchanges to me and why she why i thought i could speak this way to her now if lummy like it she says that she tried to stop him and cut him off at the pass and say whoa whoa whoa stop that's not appropriate that makes in my opinion makes him even look worse well then he's a bad guy well He's a bad guy no matter how you cut it. But I think he's either more of a bad guy if she was innocently trying to persuade him to stop, or he's kind of less of a bad guy if she's in there grab-assing with him on the text. I think her texts are important to the whole entire complexity. So you think a guy that cheated on his family and abused his power is a good guy? No. No. Nope. Not at all. That's what you're saying. But I don't think he's a bad guy for what he did. No, no, no. You're saying you need to see her text. She wanted it. I don't see – no, no, Seth. I just think it would add additional window dressing to the story to understand what her responses back were. He's guilty as charged. There's no – there's nothing that she could have texted that would exonerate him. I just think it would give us better insight. That he didn't abuse her. That she might have been into it, but maybe she's not. We just have to take her word for it. affair with him i mean that she clearly was into it yeah yeah that's true i mean she walks into the office and and she's sitting in her chair and he's behind his desk and he says you know you're very smart we're doing really good because of your work and she pulls her panties off and puts them in her hair for a hair ribbon pulls her hair back and is that in the story no oh the second one i'm saying if he does i mean gene when you go out when you go down these paths you have to make sure that you say that this is your opinion i thought that opinion i thought this was in the story i'm just trying to trying to figure out how it went from being smart to sex crime anyway well the second one this chick didn't do anything with her and he she quit she quit the campaign okay because she couldn't take it anymore then he's all over then like seth said he's a scumbag you know if she was so you know taken back by his forwardness about squeezing his balls He says, I know what I want, and I won't stop until I get it. When the campaign director declined his request multiple times, the report says that he replied, what is 47? Is that talking about the president? 47 NOS is about my limit. Seth, is NOS one of those words that I'm supposed to know that the kids are using nowadays? I'm looking it up. NOS. 47 NOS. It says ploy abbreviation for numbers. Oh, yeah. 47 NOS is about my limit. I don't know what that means. Call me stupid. The texts then include multiple requests for photos. Despite the exchanges, the aide, granted anonymity, whatever the hell it is, told the newspaper that no physical relationship occurred and the pair didn't even so much as touch. The revelations add to the mounting scrutiny over Gonzalez's conduct following a separate. So here you go, Seth. Here's the separate one, a separate 2024 affair with a 35-year-old congressional aide, Regina Santos Avelis. That's the one that set herself on fire. Which he publicly acknowledged as a mistake and a lapse in judgment. She died by self. How do you say that word? Self-mutilation? Immolation, I guess. what would you say mutilation no so immolation i don't know i'm just she set herself on fire i can just say that she died by setting herself on fire september 2025 as her husband as her husband discovered the messages uh revelations related to the relationship prompted backlash from the white house republicans from house republican leaders that led gonzalez to abandon his bid for a fourth term uh and and set to leave office i think is he set to leave office did he leave office in january or is he leaving office in january because i wouldn't think that he'd be allowed to continue on he was going to leave uh this coming january but i think they're pressuring him to get get out he's gonna run i thought he was gonna run they talked him out of it so yep he obviously pursued pursued pursued her like he did with me she said i took him seriously i wasn't i wasn't uh until this poor girl died that i thought no this guy's pure evil this need uh behavior needs this is a girl that's still alive that got the squeeze my balls text What are you wearing? What do you go to bed in? I won't stop till I get what I want. The Express News reported that it confirmed the new release messages originated from Gonzalez's cell phone number and that the campaign finance records indicate the staffer was employed on his campaign. Gonzalez did not respond to the questions and or the newspaper. If he's not gone and he's waiting until January, they need to have some type of Senate hearings or something like that or congressional hearings and get this guy thrown right on out. Didn't Marjorie Taylor Greene step aside earlier than she was supposed to? And they actually had the Marjorie Greene-Taylor Rome-Georgia special election last night. Yesterday. There's an African-American guy who is the Democratic candidate who is a former Brigidaire general And then there was a white guy that was endorsed by Trump, who's a state attorney. And they were they're seeking Marjorie Taylor Greene's vacated congressional seat. And the Republicans are freaked out that that it could that it can flip blue. Trump won that district by 67 percent in 2024. But as you know, I mean, you know, there's a lot of people like Tucker Carlson. And, you know, I saw a thing on Megyn Kelly yesterday, and she's usually she's got MAGA right in her mouth. She's usually got the MAGA D right in her mouth. Donald Trump can do nothing wrong. And she was sticking up for for Tucker saying that, you know, I I I align my I think her actual words were I align myself with MAGA, but I don't wear anybody's jersey. I just give you my opinion. So it seems like there's a lot of people dropping off the MAGA wagon because of the Easter morning, way over the top, borderline unhinged truth social postings by the president. But on the other hand, there's some people saying that it took that brashness and that unhingedness for us to come up with an 11th. I mean, it came down to what I saw the report at 652 on Fox News. I was watching that. Who's the guy after the five? Brett, Brett, Brett, Brett Bear. Yeah, man. He almost looks like a robot. you know i'm trying to be that old school newscaster he pulls it off so at 652 he had a democrat guy and a republican woman talking about um polling statistics and and you know how trump they called it under what trump's underwater the democrats are underwater the republicans are underwater meaning their approvals are all less than 50 that's what they were calling being above water versus underwater. And then he, Britt Barer, actually stopped both panelists and said, I got breaking news, and that breaking news being that we have entered into a two-week ceasefire. Seth, it was kind of like I think you yesterday kind of called it. You thought when we were kind of predicting what was going to happen, You said as long as he opens up, as long as they open up the straighter Hormuz and they could agree to an extended ceasefire, that would be the best outcome. And that's what happened. You called it Mr. Johnny Political yesterday? Yeah, I don't remember what I said at all. That's what you said. I did figure the ceasefire was the best thing that was going to happen because I didn't think there was going to be an end to the war at all last night. I mean, so now with and we have to get into this more extensively. It obviously is what everybody is. No, he didn't. He didn't. Now, Israel smoked eight bridges yesterday. But I think that I think that Trump calls Israel up and says, hey, baby, I need you to smoke like eight bridges, because then I can say I didn't do it and you did it. But it's kind of an appetizer that what could happen today at eight o'clock. so if you smoke eight then i can say i didn't have anything to do with bb but you still smoked eight and it's letting them know that there's a lot more smoking going on at eight o'clock bb and then trump can say hey listen i don't have anything to do with what bb is doing i just know that so i i i gotta think that if the president's being truthful this is absolutely the best case scenario i know let me that the global uh crude like sweet crude oil market completely responded to it and gas went from i'm sorry light crude sweet barrel oil oil you know oil barrels of oil went from 116 to 96 in the last hour of trading yesterday when they announced listen the big victory that was announced yesterday was they're going to open up the straits of hormus which gets these ships you know getting through there nobody's paying nothing no country's in charge um i thought they're getting like a million or two million dollars per ship i didn't see that but i but i could have missed it um we are or they are they are they are okay i didn't i didn't see that who's they um ron ron ron and oman i think and so they've opened up the straits of hormuz i don't know if it's free or not well look let me look into that okay and then the other thing is there's not that we're gonna there's a ceasefire gimmick there's a ceasefire agreement going on for two additional weeks why they hammer out the particulars but trump came back last night and said that that uh that iran had sent a 10 bullet point proposal that was really close to what they were wanting and that's why he took the his foot off the gas in the 11th hour uh to give them more time because they're dealing with different people and it and it feels like they can come up with an agreement now i think this is a big win for trump if in the next two weeks he can get a deal done if he can get a deal done there's no boots in the ground we're not blowing up stuff the straight to harmoose are open and we can get our fertilizer because 18 of our fertilizer and like nine percent of our nitrogen which and by the way 25 of our farmers still need fertilizer and this is the planting season right now if they can get all that in conjunction with iran will net will never have nuclear warhead capabilities it's a win it's a win and i think that that propels trump and the republicans into the prime into and gas goes down and you know the next you know three to four weeks gas goes down a buck i think it's a win for for trump and i think it's a win it sets up the midterms to to be to to have potentially a better outcome than what they're fixing to have because right now they're fixing to get their ass kicked your crude right now is under 94 it's at 94 dollars right now right now and yeah it was as high as 116 yesterday and it's looking like according to the agreement Yeah, $2 million will go to Iran for each ship's passing through the strait. Really? Yep. Seth, you were right on that. I know. $2 million. So every ship that goes through there has to pay Iran $2 million? They're going to probably be looking for somewhere else to get oil. Wow. That sucks. They're doing like a Panama Canal gimmick where they think they own it. And they don't. I mean, it's international waters that are bordered by, I think, three or four different countries. Why wouldn't everybody – why wouldn't you break it off four ways to the four countries that geographically are located around there? Everybody seemed to agree to a deal. I don't know. That's probably one of the big – one of the reasons why they're going for the deal is because they get $2 million a ship. Didn't they say, Lummi? Well, I mean, a lot of their countries are destroyed. True. I think I did see Trump say something about the only way Iran's going to be able to get back on track and rebuild is if we help them. And the only way we help them is for them to sign a deal. True. You know, where is NATO? And where is everybody that's supposed to be helping us during this whole deal? I mean, like, I guess the head of NATO is supposed to be at the White House today, is he not? Yes. Well, I mean, look, those countries are going to have to pay $2 million to get their shares. I read China helped seal this deal. We did. China said, we need you guys to do this deal. So hold on, China helped? Yeah, China is struggling. They get all their oil from there. So China helped? Yeah. Man. They said, we're struggling to get oil. This could be a good thing. This could end up good. If we can finally end up on the side with Russia and North Korea and Iran now. Well, but be the good guy of the whole deal. Let them be the assholes. I mean, we're in their group, but we're the good guys. you know yeah but listen if you can open up the strato hormuz and get the regime that wants to you know kill people out of there and make and they don't have and can never have nuclear warhead capabilities it's a win i think it's a win that's all you could ask for and if he can get that done It's a win. Let me, when I return, did you see where Fernando Mendoza is not going to attend? So I can't even tell you. You guys might be more up to speed than this than I am, but I can't tell you the last time the number one overall pick didn't attend the draft, even just for optics, so that when they say 2021 Trevor Lawrence. Okay. So that's been five years. Yes. And he stayed probably back in Clemson with his family or wherever he's from, wherever his family's from. So the last time this happened was five years ago. And it's, Seth, I think it's kind of rare, isn't it? 90% of the guys that are going to be the number one overall, they're there at whatever city they're having. I don't blame any person for wanting to stay home at the draft. But Mendoza, because his mom has MS, and I'm sure he's got a massive family. I don't know his exact reasoning. That's why. It's because of his family, and he speculated that it's his mom. It's his mom, yeah. That's right. But you know what, Seth, of all room, I mean, of all excuses, that's a great, wholesome, non-narcissistic, very caring reason why you don't go up and be the guy that Paul Tagliabue brings. Is it Paul Tagliabue? No, it's Roger Goodell. Roger Goodell brings up on stage and has the number one jersey from the team that drafts him. I think it makes me like the guy more. His mom's got MS. She can't travel too well. She can't travel. And you know what? If you're going to be number one, you're going to be number one, whether you're with your family in Miami or you're in, is it Pittsburgh this year? Oh, yeah, I think so. I think it is in Pittsburgh. It's in Pittsburgh. Last year it was in Green Bay. Oh, they're on tour every year, man. This is like, you know, you might not get the Super Bowl, but you'll get the draft. I mean, you're right. Detroit had it a year, right? Indy had it a year. Everybody's had it. Nashville had it. It was crazy. Will they eventually give it to every team? I mean, if they're giving it to Lambeau Field. Yeah, I think it's at a time of year in April where you could take it to probably any city and make it work. Yeah, I think that you don't got to worry about Soldier Field being too cold. I don't think you got to worry about, you know, I think they had it one year in Detroit. Yeah, well, their plan is that a lot of the cities that can't get the Super Bowl are going to get the NFL draft. The cold-weather cities. I think Green Bay is the coldest weather, most northern non-domed. But the thing about it, it doesn't really matter if your facility is domed or not because, Seth, they do this whole thing outside. They set their own infrastructure up in itself. They don't do it inside the stadium. Yeah, it's really good because football fans, they're fiending. And so, you know, you can get 80,000, 100,000 people together, let them start drinking, you know, from 8 o'clock in the morning. Think about what it does for the economy, right? It's huge, yeah. The hotel is going to get it in the next year or two. If they're giving it to Buffalo, then they're giving it to any ass bucket city. Oh. Buffalo's got that new stadium, though. Yeah. They're going to put Goodell through a table when they make the announcement. Do you think Tampa will ever have it? No, because if, let me say it, we get the Super Bowl. So they're giving it to cities that probably can't have a Seattle, Detroit, Green Bay, Minnesota, Buffalo, people that aren't in the Super Bowl rotation. Yeah, like St. Louis. Are one of the reasons why the Hillsborough County Sport Authority is wanting to put a billion dollars in Ray J? And I heard they're having meetings yesterday is because I was told that the NFL lightly suggested you need to upgrade your facilities or we're going to pull you from Super Bowl rotation. Right now, about every 10 years, we get a Super Bowl. That's the rumor. It's more a lot of people are saying it's the Glaziers being upset that the Rays are going to be moving in and getting their money. The Glaziers have been wanting for years of money. But hold on, bud. Didn't Hillsborough County initially pay for the majority of Ray J to begin with? Yeah, but that was 25, 30 years ago. They forget about that stuff. They thought it was a half-penny tax or something. Yeah, but we paid for the stadium pretty much. We did. Yeah. So anyway, but they forget about that stuff, just like every day, all the upgrades, the county and the state and the city have paid for it. But the glaciers forget about it. When we go back, we'll cover the Fernando Mendoza deal. And then I saw a report that there was these NFL experts that were saying something to the effect where, listen, Fernando Mendoza is not locked in as the number one guy. The Raiders could trade the pick. But I'm thinking, come on. I can't imagine that. And they got Kirk Cousins, who's like perfect little Jesus guy, just like Mendes. Does Kirk Cousins start and Fernando plays behind him for the first eight? That's like the two most wholesome quarterbacks you could possibly have. I mean, throw in Tim Tebow and you got the trio. The Bubba the Love Sun Show will be back after this.
