Meet the Weirdest, Most Talented Member of the Rick & Bubba Team | Ep 3

In the first installment of their "Profile" series, Rick & Bubba dive into the wacky world of TV producer Chris "Eddie Van" Adler. From growing up a minister's kid to fighting women on the airwaves to how he got his job, Rick & Bubba cover it all in this interview with the youngest (and weirdest?) member of the Rick & Bubba Show.

Love Adler. Such a genuine and likable guy on the show. His charisma and bantering with Greg is hilarious. So glad Adler is apart of the show!

[@kevinmooney1529]

Yeah, Adler is cool 😎 a drumma brutha 🥁💯

[@langingram3362]

The Rick and Bubba Show is a blessing to me. Adler is a great addition to the team. He brings a-lot to the show!!!!!!

[@J.CagleMMA]

I know he is super busy with the tv stuff but the show needs more Adler on it. He brings a unique element to the fold

[@cecilehenley3037]

Segments with Adler are definitely some of my favorites!!!!

[@jstinstinny8909]

A MR. LUCKY REUNION PODCAST!!! Loving these, life has been a little boring since the daily docs ended so these are filling that void. One of the greatest Adler bits was Rick & Bubba Bingo. Also when Rick and Eddie Van Adler had the wrestling match. One more thing, what happened to Adler doing V. Putin? That was gold

[@djonpow]

My memory of Chris in the beginning was ...WOW...he will do ANYTHING for a laugh and the show...they should hang on to this dude! Chris ..thanks for always doing you when Rick n Bubba were being them....chuckle!

[@hogtherapybbq2513]

Really enjoying these podcasts. When they started I didn’t know how they would go. I thought they would just be more R&B but they are unique on there own.

[@allenro1]

This is awesome. Adler👊. Drums sound good bub. I half expected to see Henry the horse on em...lol

[@amandareaves7779]

I really like what everyone brings to the show. He truly has a special gift. I appreciate him posting his trip to the Grand Canyon as I know I will never get to see it. I felt like I was there from his drone footage and enjoyed them posting their road trip.

[@Probably_Tweakin]

Man, I really love you guys. I've listened to your show since I was a young kid, with my dad. Now I'm 27. I still love the show; honestly wish it was longer. As a "damned ol Aldot worker" I get sad riding in my truck when 10 o'clock comes. Thank you guys for all the laughs and for making my days joyous from the beginning.

[@joyfuljaj]

Thanks for giving us a bit more slightly serious insight into Eddie Van Adler. Always enjoy his input on the show (well, maybe not Henry the horse). He is such a creative and talented guy. One of the first things I noticed at church last week was he was centerstage in his drum cave - just between his parents.

[@madler56]

joyfuljaj LOVED THAT MORNING AT SHADES!

[@lisaminshew1488]

This is waaaaay better than an old interview with Coach Mike!

[@imcallingbs1883]

Adler is a great guy!!! I enjoy his podcast and listen to the show every day.

[@amendakiser7962]

I love Adler even more after this, can’t wait for the other profiles!

[@ssmith1129]

Awesome! Love you guys!

[@kathleenpurvis1004]

My 10 yr old's favorite is Adler. He loved this🥰

[@kathleenpurvis1004]

And we're full time ministry employees so his thoughts were such a blessing...

[@danieldawg100]

I am admitting right now that Chris Adler has surprised me in this interview/show. I remember from one of the older shows that his parents are Born Again Christians, but I was not aware that Chris is also. You can hear in his voice and by the serious look on his face how much he not only loves The Lord, but more importantly that The Lord comes first before anyone and anything the world. Not having had loving parents, not to mention, not having had Born Again Christian parents myself, the love and respect that Chris has for his parents is more than evident. I also agree that Chris and his wife do NOT have to let their private lives be used for public “entertainment”. Chris obviously learned this lesson, from what he admitted to, from when he and his wife, then girlfriend, went through while dating. He not only loves his wife, he also RESPECTS her, and their marriage. wado,Ann Benson.

[@madler56]

Well said.

[@truckerguy1118]

Was not expecting Henry the Horse ... loved it

[@johnmarshall512]

As a pastors son, everything you said is correct. Both the challenges and standards we are held to as children and Christians.

[@Dookie04]

I can’t believe we need a tshirt that states “Not Flat”. THE EARTH IS ROUND YALL!

[@kitthorton9860]

Can't wait for a part 2 with Adler!

[@madler56]

LOVED this podcast! Great people. Great conversation. A little Harry the Horse. What more could we ask for.

[@brianjrobertson1]

Yes!

[@MaxRockatansky853]

9:30 When you love Jesus but you got metal in your heart.

[@kreeves344]

Enjoy Adler on the show so much! BTW, Chris Eagle, when you read this (cause I know you will) MORE FREE METAL!

[@twoarrows2543]

7:55 I sure want to know who's name Bubba wrote down, the Birmingham area had some really strange radio personalities floating around at the time. Several other area radio shows publicly lamantented the producers and DJ's they hired.

[@hayleeblack6639]

Love Adler! From day 1!

[@djonpow]

So....R&BU...remind me how Chris got the "Eddie Van" ..handle?

[@ferrelljeremy]

That was his intern name he was a rocker coming in as an intern so the name stuck.

[@djonpow]

@@ferrelljeremy Ahhh yes...getting old 'aint for wimps! Thanks Jeremy.

[@kennyknight6951]

Wow...not just a crooked little man

[@jaredgoolsby5528]

What happened to Mike Leech?

[@bfromo747]

I have been wondering if the girl that was called "the butcher" on the show was Erin??

[@BirchKST]

I don't think so cause I remember a little while back they referred to Erin as "The Teacher" when they first started dating.

[@bfromo747]

@@BirchKST ok yes I also remember a teacher mentioned now that you bring that up. It was short lived then the butcher if I remember correctly. It was a while back

[@BirchKST]

Bobby Bunny gah it has been a while back! We need a Rick and Bubba Anthology podcast episode! Where they go into extensive detail about the history of the show!

[@friedataylor]

😂😂😂💕

[@CurtisMiller-w9m]

Check out Witsit Gets It. Then Bubba would take off his shirt.

[@twoarrows2543]

Chris has grown on me, and as grating as he still is, I'll take him over Don Juan DiMarco. I hate to say it, but there seemed to be a "cultural" thing that made the show kind of awkward at the time. Alder for all of his wierdness is a much better fitting piece of the puzzle.
