On this special video episode, we recap the Tara Thomas-Gettman episode and look forward to future guests who have episodes in the works already. Bubba shares a very special speech he gave recently to a group of teens at the Youth Group in Jesup. This was the 2nd year in a row that he got that opportunity so he thought why not record it and air it as an episode of the podcast. Thank you for all yo...

This could be one of the funniest episodes ever!!! We really lighten things up with Ryan Nesbit this time. On this pt. 2, Ryan talks about...and impersonates some of his favorite musicians of all time. Nothing beats a small town kid from the midwest trying to sound like Bob Marley.

On part 2 with Kaden Behrens, the guys get into the fun segments! And boy do we get a look into what makes Kaden tick. Questions about how the pyramids got built with such accuracy and his infatuation with the guy who played adult Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars movies. He is severely let down when he turns the tables on Bubba and asks about his HS glory days...a single big play during scrimmage...

Finally got a young person to come on the podcast! Bubba sits down with a kid he watched grow up in church from a high energy youth to an over achieving college student athlete.

The conversation covers a wide range from H.S. football and track records to the infamous "Pizza Ranch"...

Bubba is all by himself on this episode and boy is he worked up! There has been a lot of crazy stuff going on and Bubba needs to vent a little.

Bubba is not too proud to admit when he was wrong...and that's how this episode starts! A new segment that highlights his previous errors called the "Dumb Dad" segment. Then Bubba and Bailey get into all the funny segments and one very serious topic of discussion. Arguably the most important topic to date discussed on the "What Is Up" Podcast. Hint...there may not be a more...

Bubba has a good 'ol boy in the studio today! Bailey Scheffert is a coon huntin country boy who actually learned that it was time to walk away from alcohol. Sometimes we just gotta learn the hard way. But it's never too late to make a change for the better.

The finale of a 3 part episode...WOW! The "What is up with..." segment was so good, it had to be it's own episode. Bubba and Dan have some fun and warm up with Dan's disgust for Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas." Then Dan talks about urinal etiquette and the lack thereof as of late. It gets a little awkward, believe me, I was there. After all that humor, it...

Now with Dan's story behind us in part 1, we get to have some fun in our segments. Lots of laughs to be had in this episode! If you need something to lighten your mood, tune into this one and enjoy! There is also a plug for "Operation Christmas Child" which is one the best and easiest ways to spread Christmas Joy and the Gospel at the same time.

Finally a guest is back in studio! Bubba sits down with Dan Cooper, a band teacher in small town Iowa who still likes to get after it on the basketball court and in the weight room! These guys had a lot to talk about. It will take 3 episodes to get through it all! There were some laughs and some low moments, but that's what this podcast is all about...real life. So if you had some traumatic mo...

On this episode, Bubba is by himself again and covers multiple topics like what is up with Halloween, the Wapsie Valley HS FB Playoff run and #LiveLikeCarson in honor of Carson McGrane.
