Pointed hats. Decorated broomsticks. Classic rock. And a whole lot of Adirondack joy.If you've been to a fall festival, parade, or community celebration around North Creek, Indian Lake, Lake George, or Gore Mountain, there's a good chance you've spotted the Adirondack Dancing Witches. But what looks like a wonderfully quirky performance from the crowd has a much bigger story behind it.We sit down with Crystal, Raven, and Shabby to find out how an international dancing-witch phenomenon inspired their Adirondack group, how 18 women ranging in age from 45 to 85 put their own rock-and-roll spin on the tradition, and why becoming a witch can mean much more than putting on a costume.There's plenty of fun here, from witch names and glowing broomsticks to dancing at Gore Mountain. But there's also something deeper: friendship, healing, freedom, and the simple pleasure of giving grown-ups permission to play.And if you're planning a fall trip to the Adirondacks, you'll hear where you can catch the Dancing Witches in action.What you'll hear in this episodeHow the Dancing Witches found their way to the Adirondacks.Why every witch chooses her own name and costume.How classic rock became part of their signature performance.Why the group has become a genuine sisterhood.The unforgettable moments they've shared with children, seniors, and longtime fans.Where to see the Dancing Witches around the Adirondacks this fall.Resources:Adirondack Dancing Witches / Gem Radio TheaterGore MountainTannery Pond CenterWiawaka Women's CenterProduced by NOVA

On today's episode, Aimee is joined by northeast mountain runner, Katie Rhodes. She is a beast in the technical terrain of the Adirondack mountains and has cemented herself as one of the best ultra runners in the region. In 2020, she set the unsupported FKT for the Adirondack High Peaks in just over 7 days, covering over 175 miles and 64,000ft of elevation change. More recently she did 24 Adirondack High Peaks in 24 hours, covering over 53 miles and 26,000ft of elevation change. We chat about the effort specifics, her intro to running, and going long!

Fifty years after Woodswoman introduced readers to a woman building an independent life in a remote Adirondack cabin, Anne LaBastille still captures the imagination. But the cabin on Twitchell Lake was only one part of her remarkable story.We talk with seventh-generation Adirondacker and author Penny Harr about her new book, Anne LaBastille: A Biography of the Woodswoman, and the woman she discovered through years of interviews and archival research.Anne was a wildlife ecologist, writer, licensed Adirondack guide, Adirondack Park Agency commissioner and international conservationist. She earned her Ph.D. from Cornell, conducted environmental work in Guatemala and elsewhere around the world, and built a career in fields where women were often expected to stay on the sidelines.Penny takes us beyond the familiar legend to explore Anne's fierce independence, complicated personality, relentless work ethic and lasting influence on the Adirondacks. We also visit the story behind her famous cabin, now preserved at Adirondack Experience in Blue Mountain Lake, and consider why her ideas about wilderness, silence, conservation and slowing down outdoors still feel so relevant 50 years later.What you'll hear in this episodeHow Anne LaBastille found her way to the Adirondacks.The reality behind building and living in her Twitchell Lake cabin.The scientist and conservationist behind the Woodswoman legend.How she broke barriers in male-dominated fields.Why Woodswoman became a symbol of independence for generations of women.How Anne's cabin and conservation legacy are being preserved today.Why her message about wilderness, silence and protecting the Adirondacks still resonates.Resources:Anne LaBastille: A Biography of the WoodswomanAnne LaBastille's Cabin at Adirondack Experience Woodswoman by Anne LaBastilleAdirondack Center for WritingProduced by NOVA

What happens when young people step away from their phones, leave behind an increasingly automated world, and enter experiences that require them to be fully present? In this episode Will speaks with Greg Morrissey, founder of the Mountain Goat Movement, an adventure travel and outdoor education organization serving high school and college students. A former literature teacher, Greg explains why he left the classroom to create outdoor experiences that combine skiing, surfing, trekking, environmental learning, digital detox, and long-term mentorship. Greg shares stories ranging from students attempting to order Uber Eats in the Adirondack backcountry to a reluctant 14-year-old hiker who eventually summited Mount Kilimanjaro. He describes how Mountain Goat Movement partners with schools, educators, explorers, and outdoor brands to help young people develop resilience, confidence, community, and a stronger sense of purpose. Although Mountain Goat Movement is not a therapy program, the conversation explores how adventure, trusted mentors, self-authorship, and time away from technology can provide something deeply therapeutic—and help young people become the authors of their own lives.

What if your next Adirondack adventure had no summit, mileage goal, or destination at all?We sit down with New York State outdoor guide Nathan June, founder of Nathan's Nature Navigations, to explore forest bathing and the simple practice of slowing down enough to really notice the woods around you.Nathan's relationship with nature changed dramatically after a major health crisis and liver transplant in 2016. During his recovery, quiet visits to parks and places around Lake George helped him experience the outdoors differently. That eventually led him to forest bathing, mindful outdoor guiding, and training through Kripalu's School of Mindful Outdoor Leadership.From “soft fascination” and sit spots to unexpected encounters with Adirondack wildlife, Nathan shares ways to experience the forest without worrying about conquering it. And you don't need to disappear deep into the High Peaks to try it. A patch of woods, a local park, or even a quiet spot beneath a few trees can be enough to begin.Whether you're planning an Adirondack getaway, looking for a gentler outdoor experience, or simply curious about experiencing familiar trails differently, this conversation might convince you to leave the summit goals behind for an afternoon.What you'll hear in this episodeWhat forest bathing actually looks like.How Nathan's recovery changed his relationship with nature.Why slowing down outdoors can feel surprisingly difficult.The idea of “soft fascination” and learning to notice more.How sit spots can change the way you experience Adirondack wildlife.Why Inman Pond on Lake George's east side remains special to Nathan.Resources:Nathan's Nature NavigationsInman Pond / Lake George Wild ForestKripalu School of Mindful Outdoor LeadershipSUNY Adirondack Outdoor EducationAssociation of Nature and Forest TherapyProduced by NOVA

In July of 1906, two young lovers checked into an Adirondack hotel before setting out alone on Big Moose Lake in a rented rowboat. Only one of them would return, and the subsequent trial would become a media sensation; inspire famous novels, movies, and more than one ghost story.Sources:Murder in the Adirondacks: An American Tragedy Revisited by Craig BrandonUnsolved Mysteries, season 8, episode 7 (OG Robert Stack)Podcast episode: Adirondack True Crime: The Murder at Big Moose LakeThis Week's Episode Brought To You By:Hers - Personalized, affordable plans for weight loss, hair, and anxiety - forhers.com/LOVEMURDERProgressive Insurance - Discover better rates at https://www.progressive.com/ ****Quince - Elevated essentials that feel effortless.

Episode Overview Some of the best outdoor stories are not told from a script. They unfold naturally among old friends who have accumulated decades of hunts, road trips, close calls and unforgettable characters. In this episode of DSC's Campfires with Larry Weishuhn, Larry visits with legendary outdoor writer and hunter Jim Zumbo, while longtime friend and outdoorsman Rick Lambert remains an important part of the stories and adventures surrounding their close-knit group. Jim and Larry look back on the early days of the outdoor industry, when writers, hunters and emerging personalities gathered in rustic camps to exchange ideas, test equipment and create the relationships that helped shape modern outdoor media. The conversation moves from a once-in-a-lifetime Colorado moose hunt to the unpredictable realities of traveling across America on the NRA Great American Hunters Tour. Jim also shares the unlikely story of how a legendary Adirondack whitetail helped launch a writing career that would eventually include decades with Outdoor Life, numerous television appearances and more than 20 books. (Apple Podcasts) Jim Zumbo's early years growing up and hunting in New York The whitetail buck known as “Old Joe” that inspired one of Jim's first outdoor stories How a professor encouraged Jim to submit his writing to a national publication The ice-fishing article that helped open the door to Outdoor Life Jim's transition from forestry and wildlife work into outdoor journalism Drawing a rare Colorado moose license Why Jim passed on an enormous bull standing near another hunting camp The difficult decision to harvest a smaller bull on the final day Discovering who eventually took the giant bull Jim allowed to walk Traveling with Larry on the NRA Great American Hunters Tour Speaking in unusual venues—including a bitterly cold ice-skating rink The exhausting and entertaining realities of a nationwide promotional tour The California parking-garage mystery involving a seemingly missing van Historic outdoor-writer camps and the personalities who attended them Early encounters with Bill Jordan, Jim Shockey and other future outdoor-industry leaders How outdoor communication and media have changed over the decades The friendships that remain after the hunts, assignments and miles traveled Jim, Larry and Rick Lambert's upcoming participation in Wyoming's One Shot Antelope Hunt Drawing a moose tag is a dream opportunity for many hunters, but the presence of a rare license does not guarantee a simple hunt. Jim recalls encountering an enormous bull—estimated at approximately 50 inches—early in his Colorado hunt. The bull was close to an active elk camp, and Jim chose not to shoot because of the people and activity nearby. As the hunt entered its final day, Jim faced a familiar conflict. He wanted to make the most of the license and bring home valuable wild meat, but the giant bull had not reappeared. Jim ultimately harvested a considerably smaller moose. The story gained one final twist when he learned that a chiropractor from Boulder later harvested the massive bull Jim had passed. The memory illustrates an important truth about hunting: every decision is made within a specific moment, using the circumstances and information available at the time. (Apple Podcasts) Larry and Jim also revisit their years traveling together as part of the NRA Great American Hunters Tour. The tour required long hours on the road, repeated public appearances and presentations in locations that were not always designed with outdoor speakers—or basic comfort—in mind. One memorable stop placed the speakers inside a freezing ice-skating rink in West Virginia. Another adventure unfolded in a California parking garage when Larry and Jim became convinced that their blue van had disappeared. After an increasingly frantic search, they realized the garage's yellow lighting had created an optical illusion. The blue van appeared white beneath the lights. It was exactly the kind of stressful moment that becomes increasingly funny with each retelling—and the kind of story that could only come from years spent traveling with close friends. (Apple Podcasts) The episode provides a glimpse into a formative period in outdoor-media history. Larry and Jim remember a large writers' gathering at Tony Knight's Illinois farmhouse, where approximately 30 people crowded together for an event filled with hunting personalities, emerging companies and future industry leaders. Among those discussed are Bill Jordan, who would become one of the most recognizable names in camouflage and outdoor television, and Jim Shockey, who made a memorable appearance dressed in an all-white hunting outfit. Today, many of the people from those camps are recognized as outdoor-industry icons. At the time, however, they were hunters, inventors, writers and entrepreneurs attempting to establish themselves and introduce new ideas. The stories serve as a reminder that major careers and companies frequently begin with small gatherings, shared opportunities and genuine relationships. (Apple Podcasts) Jim's writing career began with a legendary Adirondack whitetail known locally as Old Joe. While attending forestry school, Jim harvested the buck and wrote about the experience for the student newspaper. A professor saw potential in his work and encouraged him to pursue a larger audience. Jim eventually submitted an ice-fishing story to Outdoor Life. That early opportunity helped launch a career that would make him one of the most recognizable outdoor writers of his generation. Jim went on to work in forestry and wildlife biology before becoming a major voice in outdoor journalism. His career has included decades of articles, books, speaking appearances and outdoor television. (My Site) The episode also reflects the longtime friendship shared by Larry, Jim and Rick Lambert. Rick is an accomplished outdoorsman, guitarist and songwriter whose friendship with Larry and Jim has led to numerous hunting trips, fishing adventures and evenings spent swapping stories around camp. The three friends are looking ahead to another memorable experience together as part of a team participating in the One Shot Antelope Hunt in Lander, Wyoming. (Apple Podcasts) Their friendship represents one of the episode's strongest underlying messages: animals, destinations and accomplishments may bring people together, but the relationships created through the outdoor lifestyle are often what matter most. A great outdoor career is not built from one trophy, article, television appearance or successful hunt. It is built through curiosity, perseverance, friendships and a willingness to keep saying yes to the next adventure. Jim Zumbo's journey—from writing about a legendary Adirondack buck to becoming one of America's best-known outdoor communicators—shows what can happen when natural talent is combined with encouragement, opportunity and decades of hard work. The episode is also a celebration of outdoor friendships that have survived missed opportunities, exhausting road trips, changing technology and countless miles across hunting country. #DSCCampfires #LarryWeishuhn #JimZumbo #RickLambert #MrWhitetail #OutdoorLegends #HuntingStories #OutdoorWriting #HuntingHistory #ColoradoMoose #WhitetailHunting #OneShotAntelopeHunt #OutdoorPodcast #Conservation #OutdoorLife Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the Adirondacks' most famous mystery isn't hiding in the history books, but somewhere just off the trail?We're heading back into Bigfoot country with John Sheridan, creator of Adirondack Bigfoot, who investigates eyewitness reports across the Adirondack Park. John talks with the people behind the encounters, visits the locations where they happened, and documents what he finds through video, audio, trail cameras, footprint casts and plenty of time in the woods.From Whitehall and Lake George to Wells, Ticonderoga, Keeseville and the Lake Champlain corridor, John has collected stories that range from strange wood knocks and unexplained tracks to alleged roadside encounters and something throwing rocks at Adirondack campers.And he has a theory about why so much of the activity seems to cluster along the eastern edge of the Adirondack Park.What you'll hear in this episodeWhy eyewitnesses sometimes wait decades to share their Bigfoot encounters.The Adirondack evidence John looks for, from footprints and wood knocks to trail-camera images.John's theory about a Bigfoot migration route through the Lake Champlain corridor.Strange encounters from Whitehall, Wells, Lake George and beyond.Why caves, old mines and remote Adirondack terrain keep coming up in his investigations.What believers, skeptics and the Bigfoot-curious can discover by slowing down in the woods.Resources:Adirondack BigfootWhitehall Sasquatch Festival & Calling ContestTracking Legends: Sasquatch in the AdirondacksSasquatch in the AdirondacksProduced by NOVA

Ever wonder how a New York apple picked in October can still taste crisp the following summer?We're heading to Peru, New York, in the Champlain Valley to meet Jenna Mulbury, third-generation co-owner of Northern Orchard and our latest guest in the Women in Agriculture series with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Clinton County. Northern Orchard has been growing apples since 1906, and today its fruit travels from the Adirondack Coast to grocery stores across the country.Jenna takes us beyond the farm stand and into the surprisingly scientific world of commercial apple growing. We learn how enormous low-oxygen storage rooms essentially put apples “to sleep,” why warm days and cool Adirondack nights help create that perfect red blush, and just how much work goes into growing the flawless fruit shoppers expect.There's plenty here for anyone planning a fall trip to the Adirondacks, too. Jenna shares what's growing at the Northern Orchard Farm Stand, why you should venture beyond your usual Honeycrisp, and a few apple varieties worth hunting down this season.What you'll hear in this episodeHow Northern Orchard has grown apples since 1906How apples stay fresh nearly year-roundWhy the Champlain Valley is ideal for apple growingJenna's experience as a woman in agricultureNew apple varieties worth tryingHow to choose and store apples at homeWhat's fresh at the Northern Orchard Farm StandWhy the Adirondacks extend beyond the Blue LineResources:Northern OrchardCornell Cooperative Extension of Clinton CountyNew York State Horticultural SocietySUNY CobleskillNew York Apple AssociationProduced by NOVA

Why can't I just have one drink? For Pamela, that question comes from her struggle to moderate her drinking, and for Claude, it sits in her fear of never being able to drink again. Same question but from two very different perspectives. Coaches Cole and Hayley work with Pamela and Claude to discover what sits behind these questions and to find out why one drink never stays one drink for most of us. Pamela discusses: Fifty-three easy days, then a Friday night phone call from friends that flipped the switch Why the third night lined up with the anniversary of her ex-husband's death Why she uses alcohol to "let go of what's heavy," and what it's really protecting her from Coach Cole's question about her daughter that undid six years of believing she had to handle things alone Her real commitment for the next time the Ferris wheel comes back around Claude discusses: Why the idea of "never again" feels like free fall and grief, not relief Tracing the "glitter" back to cocktails, galas, and a stressful career, and finding it elsewhere An experiment with an untouched glass of wine, left behind on an Adirondack chair Why a firm 30-day non-negotiable feels lighter than deciding fresh every single day The question Coach Hayley keeps circling back to: what if there's no such thing as failure?

What if sheep could help preserve farmland, support renewable energy, and make family farming more sustainable?We're kicking off our Women in Agriculture series with Rebekah Pierce, co-owner of J&R Pierce Family Farm in West Chazy, New York. Rebekah and her husband, Josh, never planned to become farmers. What began with a few chickens grew into a pasture-based farm raising sheep, cattle, pigs, and poultry across Northern New York.Their turning point was solar grazing. Instead of using mowers to control vegetation around solar panels, energy companies hire farmers to bring in sheep. The animals gain access to fresh pasture, the panels remain clear, and farmland continues producing food while generating renewable energy.Listen for a hopeful look at the future of Adirondack agriculture, where sheep, sunshine, local food, and creative thinking can all share the same field.What you'll hear in this episodeHow an accidental farm became a full-time business.Why land access changes everything for new farmers.How sheep keep solar sites productive.Why shade can improve pasture quality.How solar grazing created financial stability.What this model could mean for Adirondack farming.Simple ways to support local agriculture.Resources:J&R Pierce Family FarmAmerican Solar Grazing AssociationAdirondack Harvest and Year-Round Local FoodProduced by NOVA

Jamelsback on the airwaves as we chat about everything from Adirondack to Agamemnon.

New York dominates rail conversations in the country, yet the most realistic statewide upgrade might be hiding in plain sight. We're talking about the Empire Corridor and a plan that could make intercity passenger rail in upstate New York faster, more frequent, and far more reliable without needing a full greenfield high-speed rail build.We start with what's already running: Amtrak's Empire Service, Maple Leaf, Lake Shore Limited, Adirondack, and Ethan Allen Express, plus the surprisingly strong frequency between New York City and Albany. Then we look at what ridership says about demand today, why schedule changes and reliability problems hit numbers hard, and why the Albany to Niagara Falls corridor has a much bigger audience than most people assume. Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, and the Niagara Falls tourism draw add up to a corridor where highway traffic is constant and winter driving can be punishing.If you care about Amtrak, rail infrastructure, or making upstate New York feel closer to New York City, you'll come away with a clear picture of what's possible and what would need to happen next.

My guest for the latest episode of Creative Spirits Unleashed is Peter Barr. He's a repeat guest with this being his third time on the podcast. We last spoke in July 2021. You might remember that Peter and his wife began living out of their RV six years ago, with the intention to live a life of adventure. In the prior two conversations Peter spoke about some of his harrowing experiences in the mountains, and this conversation had plenty of that and more as he describes two of his biggest changes in the last few years, as he became a father 3 years ago, and then discovered a reason for his vertigo. That became it's own journey.  Peter is known as a “peak bagger”, which means he loves to get to the highest places everywhere he goes. In Peter's case, that means he's made it to thousands of them. He has hiked all 900 miles of trails in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, reached the highest point in 40 U.S. states and was the second person to reach the high point in all100 North Carolina counties. He completed the 2,181 mile Appalachian trail in 2010. And that's just the beginning. He's climbed the Adirondack 46ers, New England Highest Hundred, all summits (790 of them!) above 4,000 feet in elevation in the Eastern United States and more than 2000 ranked peaks nationwide. He's also the author of the definite guide on Carolina fire lookouts titled Exploring North Carolina's Lookout Towers. When you listen to this conversation, remember those statistics, because Peter tells several stories of achieving peaks and also making the difficult decision to turn around when the conditions are not right. You will also get a sense of his perseverance when he tells the story of his journey through the vertigo-causing brain tumor. Many would have given up, and without a doubt, this one tested his limits. We spent some time reflecting on the mindset required to navigate the kind of challenges that Peter seeks out. Once again, Peter gives us a masterclass on balance under pressure.  Enjoy this conversation with Peter Barr.

This is Heather Hansman's third appearance on the podcast, and if you've been listening for a while, you know how much her work has shaped my own understanding of the West. Heather is an award-winning journalist and the author of "Downriver" and "Powder Days"—two books I reference constantly—and she's back today to talk about her brand-new book, Fierce Country: The Untold Story of Three Women Who Ignited America's Love for the Wild, which hits shelves the same day this episode is released. "Fierce Country" tells the stories of three women who were pivotal in shaping how we think about recreation and conservation today, yet whose stories have largely gone untold: Georgie White, one of the first Grand Canyon river guides; Anne LaBastille, an off-the-grid Adirondack guide and pioneering climate scientist; and Dolores LaChapelle, a legendary powder skier and environmental philosopher whose ideas helped launch the deep ecology movement. These are three complicated, larger-than-life characters, and Heather weaves their wild adventures together with her own personal story in a way that makes the book resonate no matter who you are. As always with Heather's work, it introduced me to ideas I didn't even know I needed to be thinking about. Heather and I talked about how she chose these three women and why their stories were left out of the history most of us learned, and we dug into some of the big ideas woven throughout the book—the heroine's journey versus the hero's journey, the superwoman myth, and the surprising research on men and women in outdoor sports. We discussed the double standards that outdoorswomen face, especially as parents, and the culture of harassment that unfortunately still exists in the outdoor world. We also chatted about Heather's recent investigative reporting on bots gaming the recreation.gov permit system, the importance of journalism and speaking truth to power, and how five years of living with these women's stories has changed the way Heather moves through the world. I loved this conversation, and I can't recommend "Fierce Country" highly enough—the book is out today, so be sure to click through to the episode notes and grab a copy. --- Heather Hansman Fierce Country: The Untold Story of Three Women Who Ignited America's Love for the Wild Heather's First and Second M&P episodes Full episode notes and links: mountainandprairie.com/heather-hansman-3 --- THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Mountain & Prairie is listener supported via Patreon, and brought to you with support from the Colorado Cattlemen's Agricultural Land Trust, MIRASOL: Looking at the Sun, Patagonia Books, the Rye Resurgence Project for their generous sponsorship. --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 0:00 - Introducing Heather Hansman (again) and highlighting Patagonia books 7:00 - Book number three 8:08 - Overview of Fierce Country 12:05 - Why these women 16:22 - Georgie and Anne on the wild 19:31 - Anne vs. Thoreau 23:08 - Constraint drives creativity 26:12 - Driven by hardships 28:58 - The heroine's journey 30:45 - Female and male differences 35:40- To scold or not to scold 41:41 - Pitching the book 44:08 - Outward Bound 46:56 - Recreation.gov 50:07 - Slowing down 56:48 - Bad feminism 1:04:50 - What's next for Heather --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts

Welcome to episode 227! This week's episode hands the mic over to a listener favorite: Scott Ouimet, better known as Catskillmountainbrew. Fresh off an Adirondack mission, Scott breaks down a monster effort—16 peaks, 94+ miles, and five days of pushing through terrain that doesn't exactly hand out participation trophies. We get into the prep, the grind, and the moments that make a long push like that stick with you long after the boots come off. We also touch on a proposed development in the town of Hunter plus a story involving a man, a pair of sunglasses, and a very questionable dive into a toilet vault.

This episode of The Rizzuto Show spirals beautifully from wholesome weekend recap into full-blown suburban psychological warfare. You know… like every responsible daily comedy show should.Lern kicks things off with an annual hibachi pilgrimage complete with onion volcanoes, airborne chicken, mysterious yum yum sauce addiction, and a vegetarian teenager accidentally catching meat in her mouth out of pure social pressure. Honestly, hibachi is less “restaurant” and more “public performance art with teriyaki.”Meanwhile, Rizz discovers that the neighborhood children may officially think he's the mean old guy on the hill. After overhearing kids whisper “those are Mr. Rizzuto's dogs,” the gang conducts a full emotional autopsy on how years of HOA complaints, dirt bike feuds, poop-bag incidents, and aggressive radio storytelling may have turned him into the suburban cryptid of his subdivision.The solution? Obviously a bounce house festival called “Curmudgeon Fest 2026.”The crew also dives deep into the newest suburban panic sweeping America: grown adults stampeding Five Below stores to hoard “Neatos” and “dumpling” squishy toys before actual children can buy them. Tiny kids crying. Parents fighting collectors. Black Friday energy in Wildwood. Humanity thriving.Elsewhere in the chaos:Rafe accidentally spends his Saturday bonding emotionally with a stained-glass artisan named Dave while listening to Foghat in a basement.Lern delivers a passionate iced coffee complaint that somehow becomes a full societal discussion.Rizz warns everyone about a terrifying new AI Uber scam involving fake mess photos and cleanup fees.The gang discusses documentaries built entirely from bodycam footage and social media evidence.They debate whether single dads hosting sleepovers has unfairly become suspicious in modern parenting culture.Plus stories about weird dads from the 90s, mooning cops, NA beers, and the exact emotional danger of getting insulted while trapped in an Adirondack chair.Basically this episode has: neighborhood drama hibachi lore emotional damage weird toy economics suburban anthropology middle-aged confusion and one very wounded Blackstone grillIf you like sarcastic chaos, ridiculous conversations, and a group of adults turning tiny life moments into a full sociology documentary, congratulations — this daily comedy show remains medically unsafe for productivity.And yes… somebody absolutely compared Rizz to the Addams Family neighbor everyone warns their kids about.Another totally normal episode of your favorite daily comedy show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One minute we're talking hibachi onion volcanoes and yum yum sauce rage… the next minute Riz is emotionally devastated because neighborhood kids apparently think he's the cranky old guy from every sitcom ever made. Welcome back to another completely normal episode of The Rizzuto Show — your favorite daily comedy show where chaos is not only expected, it's basically HR policy at this point.This episode starts with a beautiful weekend recap that somehow spirals into a full breakdown of suburban life. Lern and Tim hit hibachi for the annual “watch a stranger launch chicken at your face” tradition, Riz discovers his Blackstone betrayed him with a gas leak, and somehow the entire neighborhood has decided he's the villain from an HOA-themed horror movie. Meanwhile, Rafe absolutely refuses to let Riz recover emotionally after learning local middle schoolers refer to his house like it's the final boss level in a video game.Then things get even weirder when the show dives into the National Spelling Bee, where everyone quickly realizes they cannot spell basic words despite being fully grown adults with jobs and mortgages. “Diarrhea” nearly destroys the studio. “Separate” becomes a psychological warfare exercise. Lern fights bravely through America's most misspelled words while the rest of the gang contributes absolutely nothing helpful whatsoever.And because this is a daily comedy show, things naturally escalate into stories about teenagers shaving their heads for gas money, broccoli-haired dudes entering their buzzcut era, and parents realizing summer break may already be a mistake. Riz's son takes $50 to shave his head and immediately regrets everything, which honestly feels like the perfect metaphor for being young in 2026.Plus:The Three Song Challenge returns and listeners somehow struggle with bands literally everyone knowsA spelling bee breakdown nobody asked forTed Nugent tour updates because apparently that's still a thingReba McEntire appreciation hourDavid Lee Roth getting emotional talking about Van HalenMidwest brunch complaints escalate over iced coffee availabilityNeato toy hysteria sends grown adults into full Black Friday modeRafe delivers possibly the greatest Adirondack chair roast in radio historyRiz contemplates rebuilding his reputation with neighborhood children using bounce houses and hot dogsBasically, if you've ever wanted a comedy podcast that feels like your funniest friends yelling across a backyard barbecue while someone accidentally starts a grease fire nearby… congratulations. You found us.This episode of The Rizzuto Show contains neighborhood drama, emotional damage, fried rice, misspelled words, buzzcuts, weird parenting moments, and at least three people questioning modern society before 8am.
