Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to Bubba on the Lake. I'm your semi-retired, mostly washed-up host, formerly of the Rick and Bubba Show, Bill Bubba Bussey. I want to take just a minute before we start today And say a special thank you for all of the very kind emails, texts, comments on various social media about the first episode and being back out there, so to speak. Very, very thoughtful.
Very, very kind. And Betty and I both were very much touched by it. Thank you. That did mean a lot. And we appreciate it. As a matter of fact, there's somebody sending another one right then. It's the gift of encouragement. We talked a little bit about it. It's very important. And some of you have a gift for it. And we really, really appreciate it.
Chapter 2: Why is clock adjustment a controversial topic?
All right, I want to get right into what's going on. This week, as we're recording this podcast, we set the clocks forward again as we sprang forward. We lost an hour. And this thing, we have ranted about this for, gosh, 40 years now. And to no good. We're still tampering with the clocks twice a year. And to me, it's just an absolute no-brainer.
I want to stay on daylight savings time year-round, period. I don't mind the sun being up at 830. I do mind being in total darkness at 430 in December. I've mentioned this many times before, but just to recap. We are the easternmost state in Central Time Zone. So in December, it gets dark at 430. I have relatives that live in Texas. I have spoken with them.
Doesn't get dark there in December to 630, which is totally acceptable because the seasons cause more and less light anyway. But there are people that don't like this idea, apparently. I don't know who they are. I run into one every now and then. But even President Trump called it a 50-50 issue. So I want to bring this forward.
Chapter 3: What is Bubba's opinion on daylight savings time?
In the art of negotiation, why don't we move it forward 30 minutes, call it even, and never change the clock again? Anyone? Anybody? Anybody on board with that? We can work this out. Matter of fact, there's more votes coming in as we speak. I really don't know why it's doing that or how. Trying to find that button. I'm not even sure what's beeping in here now.
But couldn't we just land on that 30 minutes, split the difference, we'll call it even. Uh, if we're not going to get a win, really the win to me is not the time, even though I hate being dark at four 30 in December, it's changing the clocks twice a year. A lot of the clocks change themselves now, and that is just dandy, but there's a lot of them that don't.
And a lot of them apparently at my house are in difficult places to get to and require ladders. So it's just it takes you a year or an hour, I should say, twice a year to get all these things set. And look, folks, there's more to this than we just think it's a bad idea. Everybody kind of gets that feeling when you change the clock.
And there's a reason if you look at the stats and there's a lot of studies on this. But I will say the middle of the road is that when we lose an hour, when we lose an hour in the fall, heart attack, strokes, and other ailments that send you to the emergency room goes up by 24%. Okay? Heart attack, strokes, those kind of things, 24% increase. Okay? the day after we tamper with the clock.
In the spring, when you would add an hour the other time of the year, you actually have 21% less problems at the emergency room. So, when you, I'm even confused now, are we spring forward? In the fall, we fall back, we lose an hour. In the fall, the problem actually goes down 21%. See how confusing it is? It's just a nightmare.
And when I used to work in the TV business and had to work overnights, when 2 o'clock hit, it was total confusion. You didn't know you had to go back and relive an hour. You had to miss an hour. I can only imagine the problem that the airline people have when this happens. What a nightmare. They've already got to deal with time zones. Now you're shifting the time zones.
What about people, and I know this firsthand from my wife, Betty, being a former nurse, the fact of people giving medicine in the hospital. You're supposed to get your medicine every four hours. Oh, my gosh. Don't you know that's a head-scratcher? I mean, the nurses have this pattern down, and now they shift it an hour, one way or the other. Y'all, it's so archaic. I really can't believe...
along with this gender argument, that we're still even discussing these. There's plenty of other problems out there we can fight about, argue about, debate. We're not going to run out of issues, folks. We've got plenty. I cannot believe that this is still on the table. It's just bizarre to me. I can't get over it.
I thought for sure we would solve this in my lifetime, and here we are, tampering with the clock again. And I don't know about y'all. I got one on the microwave. It's a nightmare. That thing, I mean, it's like trying to solve Rubik's Cube to set the clock. I mean, didn't you like that, Dandy Don? So, yeah, it's just, can we consensus? I'm good. 30 minutes. I'm good.

Chapter 5: How is Hunter involved in content creation?
It's not a thing anymore.
Well, it really is. And, uh, as long as you can get everything done and, uh, shoot everything around online, um, you know, it, it saves a lot of time. You don't have to get out and drive and, uh, and do a lot of that stuff. So, uh, Hunter, not only that, you're going to be helping me produce this podcast. I am. And there's a lot of phases of that. There's the getting guests in here.
There's the preparing. There's the actual post-production of everything, which I will be leaning on you heavy for. But you also are doing some other projects, too, that I think are kind of interesting and kind of go with the times that we're in. Tell us a little bit about being on the meltdown.
Yeah, shout out to Tim, Tyler, and EG over at The Meltdown. I enjoyed my time over there. They just, you know, it's a basic podcast, talk about mainland movies and entertainment, but everything else going on in the world.
You know, I met Tim, and I told him I used to listen to him. He used to be on Jocks, and then they had a show in the afternoon, kind of late. And I used to hear them coming in from the farm all the time. I'd go down there and bush hog or whatever on the way in. I would listen to them. They did a great job, but I had no idea.
I mean, I knew they said he was a big guy, but when I met him, he is a mountain. I mean, it ought to be about him.
Like he's the jolly green giant or something.
I mean, every time y'all talk about him, he's so tall. It ought to be called the mountain meltdown. I told him, I said, man, I could be a thousand yard rusher behind you. They'd never even see me. Yeah. But I've watched the podcast.
Y'all have a lot of fun. What are you doing on there exactly? So I'm just helping. I'm a contributor, if you will, along with some others like Brian Pavlik and others. So it's a lot of fun.

Chapter 6: What unique insights does Meg Bryant share?
So you were telling me about people who did this and made, like, just boo-coodles of money, right?
Oh, yeah, boo-coodles.
Like, who are examples of people you want to be like doing this?
I don't know if I want to be like them, but, you know, they have a good business model. Like, there's a guy named Ninja. I think his name's Tyler Belvins. I don't know if I'm getting that right or not. Tyler the Ninja? Sure. Yeah. Oh, my.
Well, I'm ready for that boatload of money to be coming in.
Yeah. Yeah, me too. No kidding. Yeah, there's other people like Courage and a bunch of other people like that that do similar things, but they're way ahead than I am.
They just, like, call themselves Courage. Is that what you just said? That's what his name is.
See, maybe you need some weird name like that. You know, Hunter Buss. I mean, it's a great name for you and being my son, and I appreciate it. It doesn't exactly make the brain tingle, I know. Well, I mean, you know, if you look at this model, I mean, maybe, you know, you should be, you know,
Why don't you call yourself Fierce or something? I'm good. You know?
