The end of an era! I grew up with these guys and I’m proud of what you all have done. Thank you all for your faith and providing us so many years of memories!

Between this and Nick Saban, the people of Alabama are going through a lot right now.

The Speedy and Greg show is going to be bangin'!

i am 27 years old, i have been listening to you all since i was 9, this is a sad and happy day. Thank you for the years of joy

What am I gonna listen to now!? Thank you Rick, Bubba, & the crew! What ever you do, may the Lord bless it like He has blessed the show.

I showed up late to the party discovering the show five years ago. I’’m in Columbia SC and had the show streaming pretty much every morning at my office . Best wishes and good health to all these folks! Cheers!

Loved being an intern on the show!! Congrats guys on 30 awesome years!!

So True!

Thank you guys for years of joy! Also, thanks as I’m sitting in the airport looking like an idiot crying over this news. You all will be sorely missed! Love all of The Rick and Bubba team!

I started listening when I was 15 and I am now 45. I have loved Rick and Bubba for so long it’s going to be hard to adjust to life without hearing them daily. Such an honor to have gotten to grow up with these wonderful men. Thank y’all for everything🤍

My heart is broken!! I had a feeling this was coming, but hoped against hope for a few more years. Thank you all for being my morning wake up calk. Wishing you a good retirement.

I have listened to them on the way to work for over 20 years. Sad to hear the show is ending. At least we have all their shows available on different platforms.

33 years old. Live in Gulf Shores, Born in Brookwood where my grandmother worked where they had listened/called in to the show regularly. Watched on Turner, waiting for the bus from 3rd grade until it ended. Tune in on KZread now. End of an Era. Time to grow up... All of us. 😢. Will never forget sign guy outside the studio.

I started listening to the show in 1996 when I started my first job. I think this was about the same time R&B hit the Huntsville airways. Listened ever since. You have literally been a part of my entire career.

I also started listening in 1996.

Sad news. Thanks for everything guys.

Im 41 and remember listening to the show driving to High School in the late 90s early 2000s. Truly the end of an era and they will be missed.

Thanks for the memories. I will miss your humor & informative news!

Not just terrible for Alabama guys😔. Really going to miss some decent wholesome entertainment, thank you for ALL that you've done and will continue to do!

It’s only February folks. Let’s remember to enjoy and take in all the R&B we can the rest of the year!!!

Thank you for all the memories you have created and for the year of memories you will create. God Bless all of you currently at the show and those who have came through.

No! I discovered your show on a cable TV station in the early 2000’s. Then again on KZread a few years ago. I will miss listening to y’all. From NC

Gutted, but praying y’all will be broadcasting somewhere in 2025 and beyond! I just wish it could be all of you together! Will follow all of you WHEREVER you go! Would pay a subscription fee or whatever it takes!

Sure will miss you all. Wishing you the very best in the future.

😢y’all are part of my daily routine. This is sad to me but great for y’all. Congratulations! Y’all have been amazing

Man I’m 38 years old and have been listening to y’all since I was a kid! I’m so sad…. What am I going to listen to at work now???? I love y’all and thank you for all your great entertainment throughout the years. God Bless all of you guys!!!!

Noooo!!! As an Alabama girl that was transplanted to Florida in 1996 y’all have been a lifeline for me to stay 😅 connected to my beloved Alabama! The first year or two we lived in FL I had to find you the best way I could but I really had to stay connected with y’all and listened every day! I love all of you and so appreciate all you’ve done to entertain us, encourage us and inspire us in so many ways. We have laughed with you and we have cried with you over all these years and I’m sure this year will be more of the same. Thanks for everything! ❤❤❤

Thank you for the many years of joy you all have brought to my mornings, this really sucks.

yall mean so much to me - I got sober in Birmingham back in 2003 and would wake up early for 1st time in my life and listen to this show - thank you for being Godly men

Thank you for your faithfulness in doing the show. God bless you guys!!

I am sad but happy for y’all! I have listened for 17+years. Had a lot of good laughs and good times. Thank y’all so much & God bless! Too bad yall never brought me in as your bbq chef. 🤣

I will miss you guys! I started watching you on Turner South in 2001.

Rick hinted that him and a few other staff members are going to continue doing radio but on a slightly different platform. I don't believe Bubba and Helms will be joining them, for obvious reasons.

Lots of memories laughing in the car on the way to work.

Sad to see it ending, been listening for almost 20 years. (As long as I've been alive.) Waiting to hear what y'all will be getting into, as you transition into a new period of life. I'm hoping at least some of y'all will continue to do something public like this. If that happens, I'll be there.

It's time. Thanks for the years.

First Saban, now Rick and Bubba lord what has this world come to! I spent 21 years of my life with y’all and here’s to one more! Love yall!

❤Love you guys and found yall on TV back in either 97-98 maybe❤ Was so happy to have found your channel and station for all the car rides❤ Have enjoyed yall and I pray God Continues to Bless You All❤

I honestly thought this was a farce when I saw the headline. I'm so sorry to hear this for us the R&B family. However, I'm so blessed to have found this show over 15 years ago!!!! And I know I will be able to watch all of the videos and listen to podcasts for years to come to catch up on everything. May God continue to bless each and every one of you guys! And your families. Wow. Congratulations on 30 years of changing people's lives!!!! No other words can express my thanks to you all!!!!!! ❤🎉😂😢

When I was going through the worst year of my when my wife wanted me gone and I had to leave a great job where I was invested and so called friends and divorced me. My world was crashing around me and couldn’t sleep or anything. I would turn on the tune in app and listen to the best of moments and smile and fall asleep and then wake up to speedy, Greg, and Helms on the kickoff hour. And even listen to the best of cds. Guys you don’t know how much you mean to me and I thank you for everything you have done !!!!

Been listening to you since you started. Going to miss y’all. Wishing only the best for all y’all.

Thanks for the memories, guys.

Hell of a run gentlemen! I’m sorry to see the show go, truly. Thank you so much for all the years of laughs and smiles! God bless each of you, can’t wait to see what’s next! Please please PLEASE get us a best of cd box set, I’m missing some older albums!

Oh no !!! Love you guys!!!! I have been a fan since the beginning.

I started listening to you guys back when you were on Turner South, I never missed a morning. From listening to your show I discovered Paul Thorn and booked him here in Morristown, TN at a local art center. You guys are the best and I appreciate all the great memories. I wish you all many blessings because you've been a blessing to so many.

Man I remember my mom taking me to school when I was a kid and listening to Rick and Bubba. I listen to them every morning now on my way to work and have for years. I’m 32. Been a rough year so far for us Bama folks. First it was Saban now it’s Rick and Bubba

First time down voting a Rick and Bubba video….. and I was using some of Greg’s words while doing it 😁. God bless y’all and looking forward to the rest of the year! Good luck in everyone of y’all’s future endeavors!

Been listening since the beginning in 1994!!! I especially love the Coach Burgess stories. I have been coaching football for 33 years now. I have coached in GA, AL, FL, and TN. Fortunately, I have had the Rick and Bubba show wherever I have been. My morning routine will never be the same again. Thank you for the many, many memories you have given me over the years. Most importantly, thank you for your work in the advancement of God's Kingdom!!!! The memories will fade but God's Kingdom one day will reign forever.

Man I hate to hear it but I hope it's what the team wanted and was ready to do. I grew up listening to you on the way to work, at work, and most importantly yall helped me grow in my walk with Christ for which I am forever thankful. I hope the show can go on and bring more lives to our Savior. Thank yall for everything!

Congratulations to you guys!! Me and my family are sure gonna miss listening to y’all!!!!! We love y’all!!! May God continue to Bless y’all!!! 🙏💙💜❤️

i'm in tears :(

Congratulations on a long run. Thank you for many years of entertainment and encouragement while trucking up and down the road.

Wow, a sad day! I have been listening for over 20 years...thank you for an incredible run. We love you Rick and Bubba, et al.

Wow I’m so depressed. Best guys ever. Will miss you!

I've been a fan since the Q104 days. The Rick n Bubba show was apart of my day everyday for years and years. Thanks for all the memories guys.

We need more Rick and Bubba especially the way the world is ! The program brought humor and valuable information……… always made my day better ! 😢

Congrats on some great years. I have been listening since about 94-95 when I was in college. Like speedy said I started a family and raised a family listening to you guys. You’ve been a staple in my adult life. Cheers to the last year and many many blessings on what’s next.

What a sad day… I’m 33 and I have listened to you guys since I was in the 3rd grade .. I hope y’all reconsider .. but if y’all don’t, it’s been a pleasure guys .. I’m going to miss yal every morning for the rest of my life 😂

Dang. Gonna miss the show.

Nick Saban and now Rick and Bubba!!! Come Lord Jesus come!!!! 😢

I’m 26 an ever since I was 20 an started my full time working adult life I’ve listened to y’all on the way to work In the mornings thank y’all

I remember when I was really young I went to a turkey toss with my dad! I’m 36 now and I still to this day listen yall almost every day. Will miss yall! Everyone

You guys have been apart of my life for close to 20 years now. It’s truly sad to see you go. Thank you thank you thank you for the laughs and the encouragement in faith

Wow guys!!!!! This hurts!!!!! For me as a driver listening to you all makes my day better.

God bless over one and it's been great for the 30yrs you all have done God bless you all aman

I've been listening since day 1 when I was in high school and it was Rick Burgess and the Morning Extravaganza. I remember the move from Gadsden to Birmingham. This show got me through morning commutes to Jacksonville when I was in college and it got me through almost 15 years of commutes to my hellhole job I had in Birmingham. I remember them throwing biscuits off buildings in Anniston and Rick telling the story of when he jumped on a deflating moonwalk. Willie and Wanda and the great stories about his Dad. I remember when Speedy had hair and when Greg made occasional appearance on the show when he worked for Alabama Power. Thank you guys for over 30 years of being there when I needed you. Thank you Rick for recently responding to my email about my questions about life after death after my father died. I don't know what's next but I wish all of you the best.

My heart just sank.

Found the guys during COVID and I have been faithfully watching these past 3 1/2 years.

I remember when y'all were in Gadsden and I remember the cable show. Been a fan for many years and will be sad to see y'all go but I understand and wish y'all well. Rick and Bubba In The House!!!

Thank you for all the laughs and fun. I will miss you guys so much. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Who will make me laugh out loud??? Like yall have done every morning . 😢

Listened to these guys since 1995. Wow. Thank you for the laughs.

Well, I am really going to miss Rick and Bubba and the crew. They made my days at work more enjoyable, and myself and my coworkers would at the stuff these guys would get themselves into. I felt I was a part of the family, many of the days when I laugh and cry with the guys on the show. Now that I am retired from work and the military. I am heartbroken and happy to see my friends enjoy the rest of their lives with their families and friends. Thank You all for many wonderful years of listening pleasure.

Bubba: we didn’t want to hear. What does that mean?

Love all you guys, feel like we are friends. Been listening for a long time. It’s just part of my drive to and from work every day. You will be greatly missed.

I was 20 when I found the show I'm now 39......FM is now dead for me. Gonna miss ya'll!

Changing times, changes in media. I would imagine that to continue the show it would have had to be for less money. Better to retire, go out on top. ❤️❤️🤟

I wondered when Rick decided to build a house on his farm and move there. He also asked his kids if they were interested. Bubba said he wished it go on for a few more years. Maybe some of them can stay together. I’d certainly listen to.

It’s a sad day for sure. A coworker introduced me to the Rick and Bubba Show 20+ years ago. Not too long after that the local affiliate took them off the air so I was showless for a short time. When they first started streaming the show using RealPlayer I found computer software to record the shows every day. I then downloaded the shows to a MP3 player I took to work so I could listen to them during the day. Later on they started the Xtreme Club and then the Podcast archives to present. They’ve impacted so many people over the years and introduced new traditions to so many families. My wife makes Numm Nuts every Christmas because they introduced them to us. Wherever they go and whatever they do I wish them well and God Bless all of them.

This show has been such a huge part of my life. I went to the we aintt never been anywhere show years ago. Love yall!

I'm going to miss you guys it's been a great time can wait for the rest of the year hit the end of the year but that's the way it's got to be

Wow. Started listening in 1998 when I lived in Birmingham attending school. They came on locally in KY soon after I moved back and listening since. I vote for Sally Jesse and the little guy from the Lou Graham concert as guests on one of the final shows! Congrats guys on a great career

I’ve been listening since 1998… my friend Tim put yall on and I was like “what in the world” I have listened ever since and currently listen to all 5 hours everyday. I will listen to reruns after 2024 I reckon. We will miss yall! Take care fellas and most of all, thank you all for the show!

❤❤❤so sad to hear this for my entire experience with the whole Rick and Bubba Family has been awesome . Love everyone on this Show it's very special to me. God be with all of you and stay in God's protection. I love you all. Keep in touch with us somehow

Man i will miss yall guys God bless each of yall and will be missed

Hoping and praying the group lands somewhere else. I don’t know what I will do without them for four hours of my day EVERY DAY.

Bubba just said it’s something we really didn’t want to hear. And not something that we don’t want to say. There’s something else going on. Are they being cancelled by their syndicator? Or by their radio group?

West Ga will miss this great show 😢😢😢😢😊😊😊😊

First heard Rick y Bubba on The Ticket Sports Radio out of the FL panhandle in ~1997. Their Evangelical Alabama roots are interesting. The old confederacy has lots of meaning to me and that's what R&B represented. I loved how they went against "The radio consultant goobs." Many southerners love to "Pass the Gravy Please" which has its pros (tastes amazing) and cons (diabetus and double chin, which many southerners have).. Many radio talk show hosts start off as rebellious (Stern/Lex n Terry/Don n MIke) but as they age they become more conservative which has it's pros and cons also. May Rick and Bubba live on in perpetuity...

Omg I haven't lived in Alabama in Decades but I remember yall coming to our pep rallies at school in the 90s! 😢

I hate to see y'all go but I loved every minute God bless y'all

Wow my band was on your show with the Less More band back in I think it was 1998. We had a great time. I will definitely miss you guys

I have been listening since the Gadsden days. I will miss your humor and encouragement soooo much. Dang it. 😢
