  • Lost me

    The new show is kind of like NASCAR as of today. It’s kind of lost its way and lost its hard-core audience of who it was.

  • Not the same without Bubba.

    I gave it a shot, even after I found out the truth about Rick going behind Bubba’s back.

  • 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.
