  • 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.

  • Over for me

    I cannot listen to this show. No matter how you try to spin it, basically it seems this man worked the deals behind Bubba‘s back, And then once it looked like he had his groundwork laid he said I’m done with the old show, but if you look real hard (not really) the only thing that changed is Bubba is gone. I heard the explanations of how it wasn’t sin how I could’ve handled some things better because it was just an earthly contractual agreement. But there’s also a great saying that says do unto... more
