  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rick & Bubba's Greatest Hits - Ep. 81
Q: What is the core issue in the Men at Work copyright case?
The core issue is whether the flute solo in Land Down Under copies a children's song, Cookaburra, and whether that copying constitutes infringement or falls under parody/satire allowances. The experts discuss whether the two-measure baseline and substantial similarity could trigger liability, and whether the solo could be considered a protected paraphrase or an original composition.
