A few months ago I had my radiator replaced because it had a crack. Now when I drive it for about thirty minutes or more and I shut it off I hear a bubbling sound. Then a ton of coolant pours onto the ground. My temperature is okay and does not leak other than that.

You probably just need a new radiator cap. It cannot handle the pressure any more, and is allowing coolant to go by.

A few weeks before I replaced the radiator I bought a new one. Could it be bad already?

Possible. It is either going to be that, the thermostat, or the cylinder head/head gasket. We will hope for the cheap and easy fix. If that does not do it, then we will guide you through some basic diagnostics to try and pinpoint the problem.
