  • Maybe Bubba chose not to do this show.

    Keep saying and living what you believe in. We all miss Bubba but he may not want to do this show. I thought they both retired & this is a whole new show.

  • Slow Limbaugh

    He was horrible and bias, unwilling to listen to others and just not funny...and that was WITH Bubba. Now he’s unhinged like Trump with no one to ground him and surrounded by yes men. Everything is the liberals fault, just like Jesus intended - there I just saved you an hour.
