  • My Daily Laugh

    Loved the old show but now love the new show even more. Can always count on the guys to provide a morning laugh to start the day. I appreciate their Christian Conservative values and common sense approach to life. Keep up the great work!

  • 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.
