I tuned into the EIB this week for the first time since El Rusbo’s passing. I want to support these guys, but I just felt sad.

I don’t think these guys were bad, per se, but no Rush is a bitter pill to swallow.

Bongino is the best so far.

He’s not the Rush replacement - it’s Clay Travis and Buck Sexton.

It makes sense that it would take two people to fill Rush’s shoes…

Haven't listened to anyone. Can't replace Rush. Not even close.

Those two are OK, but I believe Buck is better on his own. Nothing against Clay, who isn’t bad himself, either still think they’re a good match. But they are still far better than WSBs Eric Erickson. Just not a fan of much of his views or himself personally.

I was in Angel Fire NM skiing when I got the news of Rush's passing.

Yes, I cried a bit. I have tuned into him from the early 90's with only a lapse from 2006 through maybe 2012 when I was tuning into Wilkow on Sirius.

I work from home and get the chance to listen every day. I think they are doing a great job considering the shoes they are trying to fill. I will continue to listen.

Rest in Peace, Rush.

None of them have the back-and-forth with callers that Rush did. They are more matter-of-fact, cut you off in 15 seconds kind of hosts. I liked all of the substitute hosts that filled in for Rush as I felt that it took all of those different personalities to take the place of Rush who is absolutely irreplaceable...the GOAT. I do like to listen to a variety so I listen to Clay & Buck, Bongino, Ken Matthews, and Todd Herman. I miss Mark Steyn and will have to find him as well.

I just keep listening to the last couple months of Rush, over and over again, hoping he'll come back.

Rush was one of a kind. I still get sad when I hear these bee guys. They will never be Rush. No. One can make a point with true unadulterated facts infused with humor like Rush did. The guy was indefatigable!! (Those that know, know!)

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton can’t even come close to what Rush provided on a daily basis. Are they better than the alternative….yes….but a legend is gone and can never be replaced.

I haven’t heard anyone who’s close to filling the gaping hole left from Rush Limbaugh’s passing…..and there’s not gonna be.

How is Dan’s health? I catch his show from time to time and he sounds fine, didn’t know what his status was though.

I like Clay & Buck- they seem good together and I think are good for a younger audience than Rush was pulling.

I just wish they retired Rush’s music and chimes and gotta their own.
