    Stop
    If you people don’t have something nice to say about Rick or anyone, then just don’t say anything at all.😡😤Love the show! Keep up the good work! Miss Bubba😫😩
  • 8585Sam
    What were you thinking?
    Had an amazing show for all those years and for lack of better judgment you got rid of the glue holding the show together. I’ve tried to listen and go along with the “new” show, but it’s not the same without Bubba’s contribution.
  • Fizzle88
    Superlative
    Really missing Bubbas gentleman humility. Rick’s arrogance is just too much sometimes. Love the other 3 guys but there is too much bloviating from #1!
  • Momminwith4
    Slow content… miss bubba
    Miss the information and content he added.
  • loganmoore
    Hard to listen to
    I’ve tried to listen and like the show, but I just can’t and per the numbers it doesn’t seem like it’s just me.
  • earubin
    Disappointed
    After watching and listening to the new show, It’s very clear who the heart and soul of Rick & Bubba was…. He’s clearly living his best life on the lake these days…
  • Listener682
    Not worth it
    This should basically be called “The Man church recap show.” Nothing is of substance. Adler and Greg keep it going.
  • Sturg89
    Not great
    Unfortunately this is just a cheap knockoff of the old show. I tried, but it’s just not funny without Bubba!
  • XXXQIS
    Adler is short
    Loved the rick and bubba show and now I love the rick burgess show. One more thing Greg is right again
  • PickleRick_63284
    Needs substance then it will be fine
    Kinda hard to listen to I’m not saying I hate the show I just wish you could find a iconic cast member someone who would hook the audience like bubba did in the old show although I will admit even without bubba the fact that this show is still operating is impressive on its own plz stay strong and find your self a new bubba P.S has Greg always been a cast member or no?
  • HFDSFHWUDFWEHFEWP
    The New Content Bores Me
    The old team had much better content. Could listen to the whole 3-4 hours without skipping. Now I skip sections due to lack of entertaining content
  • Cbg79
    Great
    Great show keep it up
  • Morgantown Ky
    Disappointing
    Very said the way this come about. Not what it was and not worth listening to anymore!
  • Lydiasdad
    Good show, but…
    I know you’re building the new brand with some old bits along with some new stuff to see what works and what doesn’t, I get it. What the show needs right now is continuity. It’s all over the road a little bit right now. Trying to fill that air time void of where Bubba was is a daunting task. I believe overtime, you will achieve that with the growth of the show.
  • ESJ13*
    Great Show
    Love the new show and format! Love that Adler is heard more! Dynamite comes in small packages!
  • vhhsjsksc
    Long time listener
    I listened to the Rick and Bubba show for years and now I enjoy this show I haven’t missed a show ,personally I think Adler is so small a bidet would blow him off the toilet lol love you guys
  • SouthenBelleTN1
    Love it!
    I love the new show. I listen every day! Keep up the good work and disregard the haters and rude comments!
  • Bring back R&B
    Think I’m out
    Sorry to say but have to agree with so many on here I loved R&B Bubba was the one to tie everything together and to direct a great radio show now it’s just 4 hours of Rick putting everyone in a handle because he’s as we all know low hassle Rick
  • Missing_BBB_from_TN
    Oooops
    Desperately seeking Bubba. Wow. I want to be respectful but hours of just Rick talking about Rick is not the ‘droids I was looking for’… The saving grace now is Greg. He’s a real person and entertaining. Whatever you do Keep Greg.
  • wesnrad
    Long time listener
    Love the new show
  • Bahena1
    Hard to listen to
    I feel like y’all are trying to much. It’s not very smooth going and not easy to listen to.
  • FinalSpaceAce
    Love these guys
    So glad to have these guys to listen to. #stayinit
  • Tricepbeast
    Awful
    Bubba brought stability to Rick’s narcissism and gigantic ego. The new show just ain’t it. It’s just a bunch of grown men acting like children and Rick talking about himself for 4 hours straight. Miss the format of the old show.
  • Bamafangr2018
    Not the same, but still good
    I miss the Rick and Bubba show. It was the best show out there for years. The new show is different, but still good. I appreciate the effort they are putting towards the new show.
  • ArnettinOhio
    Keep it going!
    Glad you are keeping the good news and fun on the airwaves. Whenever I drive south through Alabama and into Destin, I am flipping the dial to find Rick & Bubba
  • NightIwl03
    We can’t have nothing
    Now I see why Rick brought Bubba onboard in the first place.
  • TwinsmomAL
    Disappointed
    New show is missing the special sauce. I tried it and found it was just ‘meh’ compared to the old show. Disappointed, but not surprised.
  • Love our new Number Two
    Not a fan of the new show
    Whatever happened with Bubba, the show is not the same without him. The chemistry is just not there. Not a fan anymore.
  • brdavis1013
    Not the same without Bubba
    I loved the Rick and bubba show. Bubba brought such a funny and smart perspective to the show. This new format of 5 hours of fun is just not entertaining. I liked hearing Rick and bubbas perspectives on the news of the day. This new show of just horsing around is just an unentertaining waste of time. Plus Rick keeping all the followers and kicking bubba to be out on his own was pretty low.
  • Doge’s doge
    Good.
    Because from good.
  • wesbarnes
    Hope new show gets better..
    Loved Rick and bubba show.. not a big fan of new show
  • EricHughes84
    Been listening since the beginning
    Love the Sports Czars!!! The other 4 hours are pretty entertaining too!!!
  • Anonymous28292
    Not The Same
    Rick’s god complex has gotten out of hand. If you listen to all the stories they tell he always somehow turns it around to be about him. Textbook narcissism. His choice to continue the show without Bubba is the icing on the cake. Never choose a paycheck over your friends.
  • Boom211YT
    R&B
    Been listening to them on and off for the past 10 years, and they have been a big part of my childhood. And im sad to see them go, but all good things must come to a end
  • Mississippi boy 2012
    I love the Rick and Bubba show
    I love listening to Rick and Bubbas radio show and podcast. I look forward to listening to Rick and Bubba Monday through Friday. I hate to see the show come to a end.
  • Jackson Shadwell
    Once legitimately funny, no longer the case
    I’m from the “great” state of Alabama, where R&B call home base. I have always listened in some capacity whether it was on the ride to school each morning, at early live events, and in many, many waiting rooms and garages, I have listened to several best of albums and enjoyed hours of laughter at the antics of the Good time gang. However, the content and the sense of humor began to curdle and what was once good old fashioned fun with a southern flavor became a sour and bitter retelling of the headlines, with jabs thrown in at anybody or anything that (mostly Rick) disagreed with. Combine this with the near constant proselytizing and it soon becomes abundantly clear why all the interns who “stay on” seem to fall into rank and file with Burgess’s beliefs, (note Chris “Eddie Van” Adler’s near constant apologies for daring to vote for Obama ONCE) Gone are the fun segments like “the Fatchelor” “ the 13 working days of Horror” or the many antics of Calvin “Speedy” Wilburn. Rick and company remind me of members of my family and it saddens me just as much to see them fall into the pipeline of the far right, losing the charm and humor that gave this show staying power, something it clearly it no longer has.
  • mmtilley
    Growing up with Rick and Bubba
    They have set the bar I take the way I live life with the direction from many sources God being #1 These men paved the way for daily living
  • B~Diddy
    Happy New Year Greg!
    Stay in It!
  • PissedOffAmerican1976
    Thankful
    I’m gonna miss you guys. Y’all helped me out during the time I lost my daddy in 2016. I worked about hour from home and music just made things worse. One day I was tired of the silent ride so I tried the local station for Christmas music but found y’all instead. I have been a loyal listener since. I’m a podcaster these days and listen while I work the night shift
  • Will the thrill134246
    My childhood
    I’ve been listening to these guys a ever since I was a kid love the show and love the way yall love Jesus and I truly appreciate how much yall have helped me through life
  • SuBass
    Not EXPLICIT
    They don't cuss or talk about bad things. Apparently, there's new AI listening for certain words. Since they discuss politics & religion, they say those words. Sad misuse of technology by Apple on this E rating.
  • clocky pants
    Wrong Rating
    Apple Podcasts has rated this show as explicit, but I cannot figure out why they think that it deserves that rating. I enjoy listening to the show regularly, and I’m not sure if they’re trying to censor it or what, but the guys do a great job and don’t deserve the “explicit” rating
  • AlanSaintsFan
    The “E” Rating is bogus
    There’s no bad language and it’s just a lot of fun. Personally I believe someone got offended and reported their content to Apple as offensive and this was Apple’s response. I listen to several podcasts that use bad language and get a clean rating just because they beep out the language and don’t say anything that makes people mad.
  • Greerjo
    Explicit??? Really???
    Why on earth has Apple labeled this explicit??? Because they’re men of faith? Give me a break Apple!!
  • Cartercowan
    Long time listener
    I have been listening for quite a few years now. My husband and I listen to their radio show and their podcasts on long road trips. We laugh so hard with the entire crew.
  • Regan Jones, RD
    Listening since ‘99
    What a blessing and gift this show is. From its unapologetic Christian perspective to its unrivaled clean comedy and everything in between, Rick and Bubba have been the best thing on radio for years. And now, they are my must-listen daily podcast. I never miss an episode.
  • bkreynolds1913
    Love the show!
    Been listening since I was in 2nd grade - I’m 29 now. I’ve grown up on Rick & Bubba. They bring the laughs, the common sense, and unwavering faith in Jesus. Love these men!
  • wanpmc
    28 Years Loving Rick and Bubba!
    It all started with young teenagers in the car when I realized this was a show that didn’t embarrass me. 28 yrs later I never miss a day!! Love you guys 🥰
  • 😎Gerald😎
    Five stars
    The brightest part of the day😀😁
  • Don the NorthCascades Wanderer
    A nice blend of humor and current news items
    I listen off and on, no swearing is great. I find it so challenging with how filthy others are in regards to there language and context.
