What a blessing and gift this show is. From its unapologetic Christian perspective to its unrivaled clean comedy and everything in between, Rick and Bubba have been the best thing on radio for years. And now, they are my must-listen daily podcast. I never miss an episode.
Regan Jones, RD · Dec 2023
I only discovered this show recently, but I’m so happy to have found it (even if a bit late).
I love the Bible studies, they are straight up the most spirit filled and honest I’ve heard in 30 years.
But I also love the relatability and honesty of the guys and all the other content.
This show is the highlight of my listening week
saperlo · Jul 2023
Listening to Rick and Bubba has become one of the favorite parts of my day. They are godly men, common sense, and hilarious.
The Wednesday afternoon Bible studies are very challenging, biblically sound, and encouraging. And the Rick and Bubba University never disappoints either.

I live in the north, born in the south, raised by southerners, and love the show. Listen via podcasts to the “best of”, makes me feel right at home. Keep it going y’all , really appreciate the mix of topics and perspectives.
Meeechigan · Nov 2022
I’m from the “great” state of Alabama, where R&B call home base. I have always listened in some capacity whether it was on the ride to school each morning, at early live events, and in many, many waiting rooms and garages, I have listened to several best of albums and enjoyed hours of laughter at the antics of the Good time gang.
However, the content and the sense of humor began to curdle and what was once good old fashioned fun with a southern flavor became a sour and bitter retelling of the headlines, with jabs thrown in at anybody or anything that (mostly Rick) disagreed with. Combine this with the near constant proselytizing and it soon becomes abundantly clear why all the interns who “stay on” seem to fall into rank and file with Burgess’s beliefs, (note Chris “Eddie Van” Adler’s near constant apologies for daring to vote for Obama ONCE)
Gone are the fun segments like “the Fatchelor” “ the 13 working days of Horror” or the many antics of Calvin “Speedy” Wilburn.
Rick and company remind me of members of my family and it saddens me just as much to see them fall into the pipeline of the far right, losing the charm and humor that gave this show staying power, something it clearly it no longer has.
