  • Missing Bubba

    This show has some talented people who are good natured. My issue is they kicked a teammate off the team. When I listened my heart went out to Bubba wondering if he is listening from the outside. I can’t listen anymore knowing the group threw away a teammate.

  • Boring rambling

    What has happened? This show used to be funny. Now it’s rambling about microphones and nonstop talk about hunting. Long time listener here, and I’m so bored listening to y’all. Please be funny or entertaining again.

  • Not Good

    The Rick Burgess Show is not fun. Rick comes across as arrogant, and It feels like Rick is forcing the humor in the show. This format just doesn’t work for me.

  • Really enjoying the show

    I didn’t know if I like the new show- but I’m actually enjoying it MORE than the R&B show which I think had just run its course. I notice several other reviewers say that Rick was unfair to Bubba - I wouldn’t know anything about that. I can say business is business, I am sure Bubba is doing well. I feel like Rick Greg speedy and that cute kid Adler 😉are old friends after all these years. I choose to think highly of them, I see no reason not to. I hope God continues to bless them.
