Florida Boy- I forgot how great that song was!
My favorite Bubba song was If you leave, can I come to!
That ending video montage was beautiful ❤😢
Great show today. Man i cried when Savannah was on. Good send off guys. Bravo.
Been listening to them Monsters since I was a kid. I'm 47 now, and hearing 'Southern Girl' got me straight-up nostalgic. Rip Bubba–you talented m-fer. You guys did right by him today. So sorry for your loss. 🖤🤍
I once met bubba whoopass Wilson when he came to my store. I helped him out that day with selectivity out video games for his son for their road trip. Nicest person to have ever met. God rest his soul now.
90's was the golden age of the Monsters
Them monsters know how to honor a member of their show, rest in power Bubba
I've been listening to The Monsters since 2002. I remember when Bubba dropped the beer song. RIP Bubba.
This took me 15 hours To finally listen to whole show, damn it man. Correct me if I’m wrong but, Bubba whoooass Wilson is the best god damn best at writing music. I can only imagine how many more songs he has written. Thank you Bubba. R.I.P
If Bubba wrote a song about this tribute show it could be called "People Love Me." Your loyalty to him shined bright today. Great job Russ and crew. Thx for sharing the pictures, the music, and the memories. Bubba was on the show when I first started listening. Us long time listeners were privileged to "know him." RIP music man. 😢
Thank you so much for the tribute to Bubba.
I grew up listening to the monsters in the morning, getting so angry when howard would go long. It was around 99 and I was too young to be appart of the awesome debauchery that went on back then but boy I wish I could have been there during they heydays. Rest well Bubba and thanks for the laughs. Drunk at denny's will always be a favorite song of mine.
Bubba had more talent in his little pinky than the rest of the show combined.
Bubba and realRadio I miss ya'll
Thank you for this show. The passing of Bubba has hit me hard. The memories took me back to a more carefree time. I’ve been listening for 21 years & I think a lot of us hoped that we might see a reunion of some sorts with Bubba. His passing means that it truly is the end of an era & a time we will never get back. This tribute show was perfect. I hope he knew how much he was loved. ❤
I haven't listened for probably 20 years when i moved away from Orlando. Last show i remember Savannah trying to swim across a lake of gators. Love the show today bringing back memorys. Sorry for you loss. Hope your at peace Bubba
Great Tribute 🎉 been listening since they were monsters of the midday. God Bless Bubba 😢 RIP 🙏🙏
Rip burt😢
Only came here cuz showbiz
The first time I ever saw Bubba was when he was Sal in Clutch wearing the Boy Scout Uniform with the Black Frame Taped Glasses. He was a true showman and when Clutch was in town, I would be at the golden Rock every weekend. RIP Bubba
RIP real dude… Grew up with him AM.
I couldn't have been more than 10 years old when my mom drove me to Peaches to get a copy of Songs I wrote while eating pudding. I wouldn't know most of the context but I would still cry laughing whenever he was on air, a true talent that could entertain everyone. I wish there was a catalogue of all his songs somewhere.
Miss this dude,started listening in 2007,when he did correct me if I'm wrong,but then would sometimes do correct me if I'm song,Tom ,Dan ,Tiffany miss those years,Love You Bubby whoop,get your tenny flips and get the hell up outa here,aw damn
Years ago I met Bubba in Daytona Beach years ago with Mary Louise Foster Johnson. Both were such nice and kind hearted people who will be missed.
He was Fatz Geronimo from The Rock afire Explosion
You guys were the shiot back then. My favorite show of all times. It sucked when y’all broke up.
Thank you for this ❤
Bubba I’ll miss ya
Is there a place to find bubba telling stories?
From a Tom and Dan guy, playing their recording was class.
I grew up listening to the Monsters in the Mid-day. My dad would wake me up before school (circa Russ, Bo, and Dirty Jim days), and we would laugh. Bubba was a guy that I didn’t care for… until I started driving trucks (I don’t do that now). My dad loved him. It took me a few years before I got it. I thought I knew it all in music, and Bubba was just a dumb hick (me being young and holier than thou).
The reality was HE IS a musical genius.
I learned about his legacy of being Fats, serious songs (Everett the Drunken Piano, Florida Boy, Southern Girl).
Thank you, Monsters, for keeping it Real Radio.
P.s.; Carlos, you and Daniel back in the day were f**king magically funny.
R.I.p buddy you are and were awesome
