Johnny Mac covers backlash to Kevin Hart's Breakfast Club comments defending roast boundary-pushing after Tony Hinchcliffe's George Floyd joke, plus Hinchcliffe's Kill Tony remarks about being labeled a Nazi and his response to Chelsea Handler; Nikki Glaser says roasts raise the stakes, supports ironically racist jokes only if they work, and keeps specifics private, while Matt Rife says critics should not watch roasts. The episode also discusses Nate Bargatze's new film The Breadwinner, citing Variety's negative review of its “incompetent dad” beats and muddled message, alongside quotes from Mandy Moore and Bargatze about making a family comedy, plus box office projections. The Wall Street Journal details plans for Bargatze's “Nate Land” theme park near Nashville, including investors, incentives, and a 1990s mall entry concept. The “Comedy Stock Market” sells Bargatze, Chelsea Handler, and Glaser, and buys Hinchcliffe; additional notes include JFL Montreal dates, W.

Military conflicts are easy to start and painfully difficult to end. As Donald Trump's war with Iran enters its fourth month, Jon Allen joins Jeremy Kinsman and Peter Donolo to discuss how a conflict once promised to be short and decisive became a global crisis. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, energy markets are under pressure and America's allies are reassessing what U.S. leadership now means. Allen, Canada's former Ambassador to Israel, argues the conflict was shaped by the egos of both Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, and by a miscalculation about how Iran would respond once attacked. The conversation turns to possible negotiations, the limits of Israeli and American leverage, the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and the wider fallout for NATO, the G7 and countries that once relied on American stability.

Mea Culpa welcomes back our good friend Norm Eisen. There's pretty much nothing going on in politics today that Eisen doesn't have an educated opinion about. Eisen is a CNN Legal Analyst. And the founder and executive chair of “States United Democracy Center” a nonpartisan organization advancing free, fair, and secure elections. His articles for the Brookings Institute and elsewhere have made the case for why Trump and his band of criminal conspiracists represented a clear and present danger to democracy. His latest piece for MSNBC lays out how Jack Smith can defeat Trump and put him behind bars. Eisen served as special counsel to President Barack Obama on ethics. In that role, he was dubbed “Mr. No” and the “Ethics Czar” because he's well known for his tough anti-corruption approach to governance. Having spent time in Eastern Europe as the Ambassador to the Czech Republic, Eisen cares deeply about the region and is also working with the Brookings Institute to help Ukraine recover and thrive once Putin's war has ended. But today it's all indictment talk. And Norm is ready to put the bracelets on little Donny for good.

This episode is another trip down memory lane, as we hear from a guest from the first season of Beer with Nat who I initially recorded with back in December 2018. Today's guest is Lotte Peplow, American Craft Beer Ambassador for Europe at The Brewers Association. We'll start by hearing what Lotte has been up to over the past 8 years, then re-run our initial conversation. You'll learn how Lotte got her start in PR, how a beer and food dinner – a topic she's still incredible passionate about – led her to current role with The Brewers Association, her vision for the future (that she's since managed to accomplish!), and lots more.   What stuck with me from this conversation: On getting into beer (at any age): "Everybody is welcome… no matter what age. If you're only just starting out in the beer world, it doesn't matter. Whether you're in your 20s, your 40s, your 60s, there is always a place and there is always a little niche that you can find. And I think that's important to retain and to keep hold of. Because it's just a great world to be in… and you'll always find something that you love here."   Links & things: Who Lotte works for: The Brewers Association Where you can find Lotte – and the American craft beers she represents – next: London Craft Beer Festival Lotte's bonus episode (from 2018) on beer & food pairing: Learn more here Listen here   Recording info: December 2018 in London + May 2026 voice note Subscribe | Follow on Instagram | Email

Los Angeles County has the largest juvenile justice system in the country, and for too long, black and brown youth in Los Angeles have been shuttled into a system that looks to cages over care. Represent Justice Ambassador, Kent Mendoza, was one of those young people, and now works to make sure our kids wonʼt face a similar fate. “A Million Dollar Cage,” produced by Kent, follows his journey as he fights to transform L.A. County's youth justice system and create alternatives to incarceration. In collaboration with Represent Justice, his film is now streaming on Tubi to over 100 million viewers. Kent was born in Mexico but migrated to Los Angeles at the age of six, where his mother hoped to find a better life for her young children. Kent loved drawing and had a very creative mind but could not speak English and struggled in school. His father was absent and, an early age, Kent was exposed to gangs, drugs, and violence. He joined a gang at the age of fourteen and was incarcerated at fifteen, serving time in a probation camp. At seventeen, Kent was tried as an adult and faced a life sentence. He was instead sent to the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) for 7 years but served overall 5 years incarcerated. Since his release, Kent has become a tireless community organizer and activist, artist, writer, speaker, and youth mentor. He was selected as an Ambassador with Represent Justice and made the short film, "Chasing the Mexican Dream," connecting to his Mexican roots while exploring the creativity that comes with telling a story through animation. Along with filmmaking, Kent is the Director of Policy at the Anti-Recidivism Coalition.Watch Kent's TUBI film here! Have a Swan Dive to share?

On 22 April 2026, Coca-Cola unveiled Cole Palmer as its newest football brand ambassador, fronting Premier League and World Cup activations. A month later, Tuchel left him out of the England squad. We use the Palmer story as a way into a wider conversation with Ricardo Fort — former global head of sport at Coca-Cola, now advisor to brands betting billions on the World Cup — about how personal endorsement deals really work in 2026.The anatomy of an endorsement deal. Ricardo breaks down the numbers: $3-8m per year for a top player, rarely a one-year deal, so you're looking at $10m minimum before activation. Add a global campaign on top and you're at $50-60m of media spend that depends on one player turning up.Where the leverage sits. Spoiler: not with the brand. By the time the contract gets signed, the creative idea has been built around the player, the agency is in love with the film, and the agent knows it. Ricardo on why the awkward "what if you don't make the squad?" conversation rarely happens — and why contracts that should include triggers for injury, non-selection, and tournament performance often don't.The slow-moving machine. A good World Cup campaign kicks off weeks after the previous one ends. By the time the squad is announced, 90% of the posts, the point-of-sale, the films and the photography are already in the can. Agility in this market is a myth.The Formula 1 jumpsuit problem. When Vinicius Jr. is fronting campaigns for Visa, Marriott Bonvoy, Rexona, LEGO, Nike, Pepsi and Havaianas, who actually owns him? Ricardo on why most brands have no idea how many other sponsors have signed the same face, and why differentiation has become the real game.Cultural relevance, examined. The phrase everyone in sports marketing reaches for. Ricardo on why it works for Adidas and Nike, why it's largely delusional for everyone else, and why most brands are still asking players to post twice on Instagram and calling it strategy.Also covered. FIFA as a bulletproof brand. Why the ticketing land-grab doesn't damage it. Hospitality as a business. The 3am problems that keep sponsorship directors awake during a tournament — lost VIP guests, missing teenagers, last-minute Croatian billionaires arriving by private jet. And the medal-ceremony speech Ricardo describes as the lowest point of his career.Unofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.

On this special podcast episode, we are sharing the opening statements from the Munk Debate on Foreign Wars, which took place this past Wednesday May 20th in front of a packed crowd at Toronto’s Meridian Hall. Against the backdrop of America’s war with Iran — and after nearly three decades of disastrous Middle East interventions — the debate asked whether the U.S. should continue intervening abroad, and what that means for the future of global order. The resolution was: Be it resolved, don’t go hunting monsters. Arguing against the motion was Mike Pompeo, 70th U.S. Secretary of State, former Director of the CIA, and four-term U.S. Congressman. He was joined by Victoria Nuland, whose 35-year career in the U.S. Foreign Service includes roles as Acting Deputy Secretary of State, Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, and U.S. Ambassador to NATO. Arguing in favour of the motion were two former Munk Debaters and the world’s leading proponents of U.S. foreign policy restraint: John Mearsheimer, the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago and Stephen Walt, Professor of International Affairs at Harvard Kennedy School.

In this episode of THE MENTORS RADIO, Host Dan Hesse talks with Ambassador Randy Tobias, former Vice Chair of AT&T, and Chair and CEO of AT&T's primary operating unit, AT&T Communications. Randy left AT&T in 1993 to become Chair, President and CEO of Eli Lilly and Company. In 2003 President George W. Bush nominated him to be the founding United States Global AIDS Coordinator with the rank of Ambassador and with the charge to develop, launch and lead what became PEPFAR, a multibillion-dollar U.S. government initiative to blunt the global HIV/AIDS epidemic, first in sub-Saharan Africa and then globally. Now in its twenty-second year, PEPFAR is credited with having saved more than 26 million lives. Subsequently President Bush named Randy Administrator of USAID and concurrently the first Director of all United States Foreign Assistance with the rank of Deputy Secretary of State. Ambassador Tobias has been recognized with a long and diverse list of honors including five honorary degrees. He has served on a number of corporate and non-profit boards, and in leadership roles with numerous organizations including as chair of the boards of trustees of both Duke University and Indiana University. He is the author of two books, Put The Moose On The Table: Lessons In Leadership From A CEO's Journey Through Business And Life, and Never Daunted: A Life and Legacy of Embracing Change, a memoir published in 2025.

In this episode of the Site Realities series, Tammy D'Lugin-Monroe sits down with Przemeslaw Wziatek, Country Head for Poland and Ukraine within Clinical Operations at Syneos Health, to explore how relationships between Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) and Clinical Sites are evolving in today's increasingly complex research environment. As competition for high-performing sites intensifies, strong partnerships have become more important than ever. Tammy and Przemeslaw discuss what sites truly expect from CRO partners, why the CRA role has evolved beyond monitoring into that of an ambassador and problem solver, and how trust is built through responsive, thoughtful communication. Together, they examine the realities sites face every day, from balancing patient care alongside multiple studies to navigating increasing operational complexity and technology demands. The conversation also explores how CROs can better align with site priorities, reduce communication friction and create stronger long-term partnerships that ultimately support study success and improve the patient experience.The views expressed in this podcast belong solely to the speakers and do not represent those of their organization.  If you want access to more future-focused, actionable insights to help biopharmaceutical companies better execute and succeed in a constantly evolving environment, visit the Syneos Health Insights Hub.

A Gaza-bound aid flotilla has not reached its destination. Instead, footage of activists aboard it being forced to kneel on the concrete at Israel's Ashdod port, surrounded by armed officers and taunted by far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, has triggered international outrage. Among those detained, according to organisers, were 11 Australians.

Hope you're having a great week — or at least a better week than certain senators and congressmen who thought it would be okay to run against Trump and smear his supporters.Did you see Thomas Massie — the Kentucky congressman who lost his primary after slamming Trump? In his concession speech he said he was unable to reach his opponent because he “was in Tel Aviv.” Running against Trump is part of the democratic process and should be welcomed — using slurs against your opponent is not. The world is turning very dark, very antisemitic. We are here to expose and explain it all.On this week's podcast we bring you the latest about these and other issues — including what they're NOT telling you about the ABORTION PILL.Did you know the FDA is still withholding 125,000 pages of documents about the safety of the pill that is the most common method of abortion in the US? In the podcast we lay out exactly what's being hidden and why it matters.And it's official — girls aren't safe in Australia anymore.An Australian man, pretending to be a woman, has now sued a girls-only app which excluded him, and won in court after court, and been given full access. The courts ruled he can invade female spaces and they're fining anyone who tries to stop him. We break down the full ruling and what it means for women's spaces everywhere.We're joined by the brilliant broadcaster and journalist Mollie Hemingway, who reveals why she thinks Samuel Alito is the most underrated Supreme Court Justice in America. And you will not believe the dangerous behavior of the liberal justices on the court who seemed to do all they could to bring harm to their colleagues in the run-up to the historic Dobbs case that overturned Roe v. Wade. You can buy her book at the link below.And we may hate Harvey Weinstein's politics, but we hate mob justice even more. After his latest trial in New York, it's time to say: free Harvey Weinstein and end the “Believe All Women” madness. We give you the full story of his case and the disturbing details the public hasn't heard. It really is an untold story. When Harvey Weinstein was first on trial we were at the courthouse every day and produced our verbatim podcast series, The Harvey Weinstein Trial: Unfiltered. Please check it out at the link below.And in our “Crazy Headline of the Week” series there's a hot new “intellectual” take on the Frankenstein story — and according to the smart set, the monster isn't who you think it is. He is actually transgender!There really is nobody who can be as stupid as a smart liberal.We were honored to be invited by the Israeli Embassy to their Independence Day celebrations in D.C. The Ambassador delivered a powerful speech that left the room moved — it's this week's inspiration. Stay tuned at the end of the episode to hear the full excerpt.

This episode unpacks the key discussion points from the U.S.-China summit, including Taiwan, the Iran war, AI regulation, and the future of U.S.-China relations.   Host: James M. Lindsay, Mary and David Boies Distinguished Senior Fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy, CFR   Guest: Nicholas Burns, Roy and Barbara Goodman Family Professor of the Practice of Diplomacy and International Relations, Harvard University Kennedy School of Government; Former U.S. Ambassador to the People's Republic of China (2021–2025) We Discuss: Whether the Trump-Xi summit in Beijing represented a genuine diplomatic breakthrough or merely a cooling of tensions without resolving underlying conflicts. What the dueling U.S. and Chinese post-summit statements reveal about each country's divergent priorities and negotiating strategies. How significant the summit's economic deliverables—agricultural sales commitments, Boeing aircraft sales, and a potential tariff truce—actually are. How Xi Jinping's early and deliberate warning about Taiwan set the tone for the summit, and what his decision to leak that statement mid-meeting signals about Chinese tactics. Whether President Trump's equivocation about U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and the One China policy constitutes a major strategic mistake and what it means for American credibility with allies in the Indo-Pacific. What the presence of Putin in Beijing immediately after Trump's visit reveals about Chinese strategic alignments. Why an emerging U.S.-China dialogue on artificial intelligence regulation could prove to be the most consequential and underappreciated outcome of the Beijing summit. What concrete benchmarks—from tariff agreements to arms sales to Chinese follow-through on commitments—will determine whether this summit actually put U.S.-China relations on a more stable footing.

In this episode, hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso sit down with retired U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines MaryKay Carlson, who led America's embassy in Manila from July 2022 to January 2026, one of the most consequential periods in the modern history of the U.S.-Philippine alliance.Ambassador Carlson takes us inside the alliance at a moment of dramatic transformation: the 75th anniversary of the U.S.-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty, the 80th anniversary of diplomatic relations, the 10th anniversary of the 2016 Arbitral Award on the South China Sea, and the Philippines' year as ASEAN Chair under President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.. She walks us through the most dangerous flashpoints in the West Philippine Sea: the June 2024 ramming at Second Thomas Shoal (Ayungin) that cost a Filipino sailor his thumb, and the August 2025 Scarborough Shoal incident in which a Chinese Coast Guard cutter collided with its own PLA Navy destroyer while chasing a Philippine vessel.We dig into the strategic geography that makes the Philippines irreplaceable to America's Indo-Pacific strategy; the largest Balikatan exercise in history; the expansion of EDCA sites; the new $2.5 billion Philippine Enhanced Resilience Act; the new Luzon Economic Corridor (with Japan); the U.S.-Philippines 123 civil nuclear agreement; and the 19% Trump tariff Carlson openly wishes had been much lower. She offers a candid read on China's Ambassador Huang Xilian's successor, Jing Quan, the limits of the ASEAN Code of Conduct, and what actually deters Beijing's gray-zone aggression in the South China Sea.If you follow U.S.-China competition, the U.S.-Philippines alliance, ASEAN, Philippine politics, the Marcos administration, Indo-Pacific strategy, the South China Sea, or U.S. foreign policy under the second Trump administration, this is essential listening from someone who lived it up close.

In the wake of the arrest of a Lebanon County man in connection with threats made against state lawmakers, some legislators say PA state needs to a better job on informing them of such dangers. State Senator Doug Mastriano has been nominated by Donald Trump to be the next U.S. ambassador to Slovakia. It's known as the State of Preschool Yearbook. It's an annual report dating back to 2002, designed to track enrollment in and funding for and quality standards related to state-funded preschool programs. Lead author of the report Allison Friedman-Kross recently joined WITF's The Spark along with Director Steve Barnett to talk about this year's report.The U.S. Senate has confirmed Brian Miller as the United States Attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. This is the third time he's been confirmed. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is marking a ten-year partnership with local farms and area food banks, in an effort to deal with food insecurity in the state. And this quick programming note: My colleague Jordan Wilkie will be releasing a bonus episode of The Morning Agenda with election news this morning as well.

"When we look at things on a neighborhood level and we're noticing patterns, noticing new colonies — when something's predictable, it's preventable." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund, OcuTrap, and The Kitten Conference. What does it look like to build a community cat program from scratch — not just logistically, but with real intention about how change happens in a neighborhood? In this episode, Stacy LeBaron speaks with Tonya Cook, Community Cat Program Manager at Ohio Alleycat Resource (OAR) in Cincinnati, about her remarkable journey from neonatal kitten foster to full-time community cat advocate, and what she's learned about scaling impact when you're a team of one. Tonya's path into animal welfare began in 2020 when she started fostering neonatal kittens with Cincinnati Animal CARE. Night feedings and fragile lives gave her a front-row seat to how many kittens were being born outside — and how few resources existed to stop the cycle at the source. That question drove her toward TNR and, ultimately, toward a complete career change. In 2022, she left behind 15 years as a professional photographer to pursue animal welfare full-time, gaining hands-on experience at UCAN and Cincinnati Animal CARE before joining OAR in 2025 to build its community cat program from the ground up. In its pilot year, that program has facilitated the TNR of over 400 cats — most of them trapped by Tonya herself, two days a week, before she recognized the limits of that approach. When burnout began to set in, she did something harder than trapping: she stepped back. That decision led to the creation of OAR's Neighborhood Cat Ambassador Program, which embeds trained volunteers directly into high-need zip codes identified through shelter and rescue data. Ambassadors walk their streets, distribute flyers with QR codes linking to a community cat census, connect caregivers to resources, mediate neighbor disputes, and trap for those who can't. The result is a program that feels less like a service and more like a movement — and one that's bringing neighbors together in the process. Tonya also shares an inspiring story from a mobile home park 20 miles outside Cincinnati, where she spent last spring trapping 58 cats. Earlier this year, the park reached back out — not to ask for help, but to learn how to do it themselves. They've since purchased their own traps, gone door to door, posted on social media, and started bringing cats in weekly. That's the long game Tonya is playing: not just TNR, but teaching communities to sustain the work themselves. Press Play Now For: How fostering neonatal kittens led Tonya to TNR — and a complete career change Why Tonya insisted on doing the work herself first before bringing in volunteers, and what she learned from that approach. The story of Sonny, the neighborhood cat who introduced a whole street of strangers to each other How OAR's Neighborhood Cat Ambassador Program works, who it recruits, and why ambassadors stay engaged longer than traditional trapping volunteers A mobile home park success story: from one organization doing the work to a community sustaining TNR on their own Why "when something's predictable, it's preventable" is the mindset shift that defines neighborhood-based cat management How to find common ground with neighbors who hate cats and neighbors who love them Resources & Links Ohio Alleycat Resource (OAR) — Website OAR Community Cat Program OAR on Instagram (@ohioalleycat) OAR on Facebook Tonya Cook on Instagram (@cincycatlady)

Moon Valjean is back from Vegas and somehow managed to visit casinos without gambling, which honestly sounds medically impossible. Instead, he spent his trip hunting down incredible local food, debating the meaning of rice pilaf, and discovering that Vegas off-strip dining prices now require a small business loan. The gang breaks down the bizarre sociology of weekday Vegas flights, why old people apparently own the city Monday through Wednesday, and how airplane emotions hit differently when you're watching a devastating movie at 30,000 feet while trying not to cry next to strangers.Things somehow spiral — as they always do on this daily comedy show — into a full-blown debate about airport etiquette, “Jetway Jesus,” and whether families with babies should board planes first or last. There's also discussion about the horrifying reality of airplane emergency cards, weird travel behavior, and one absolutely insane story involving a man getting onto an airport runway and being sucked into a plane engine. So yeah… maybe don't snack during that segment.The crew also dives into one of the greatest weird-news stories of the year: a guy throwing a rock at an endangered Hawaiian monk seal and immediately discovering that Hawaii does NOT play around. Enter: The Ambassador of Aloha — the unidentified local hero who allegedly beat the guy's ass so thoroughly that the entire community united to protect his identity like he's Batman in flip-flops. Federal charges, local pride, seal justice… this segment has everything.Elsewhere in the episode, the gang discusses Missouri turtle season, roadside turtle rescue etiquette, and why taking home a box turtle is apparently both illegal and a terrible life choice. Lern reveals her strange turtle friendship history, Rafe discusses leprosy armadillos, and somehow Sylvester Stallone's pet turtles from Rocky become part of the conversation because this show has fully abandoned traditional structure.Then comes the flip-flop war.A viral TikTok sparks one of the most passionate debates in recent Rizz Show history after a woman begs men to stop wearing flip-flops entirely. Rafe delivers a deeply serious anti-sandal manifesto involving combat readiness, urinal splashback, and leadership qualities during emergencies. Moon reveals he has literally never owned flip-flops because his toes “don't work like that,” and the entire room somehow turns this into an existential discussion about masculinity, footwear, and public respectability. It's exactly the kind of nonsense you expect from a daily comedy show operating on caffeine and bad decisions.And because the Internet refuses to let humanity evolve peacefully, the crew also uncovers terrifying trends like “ball maxing” and “pheromone maxing” — including teenage boys intentionally refusing to shower in hopes their natural musk will attract women. Spoiler alert: it mostly attracts concern, bacterial buildup, and intervention from family members armed with buckets of water.This episode is packed with weird news, sarcastic humor, pop culture commentary, emotional airplane confessions, Vegas stories, celebrity nonsense, bizarre trends, and the exact kind of beautifully chaotic conversation that makes The Rizzuto Show your favorite daily comedy show from St. Louis.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/RizzShow.Hear 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.

A Seattle tourist allegedly threw a rock at an endangered Hawaiian monk seal and then reportedly told everyone, “Fine me, I'm rich.” Unfortunately for him, Hawaii introduced him to a shirtless local nicknamed the “Ambassador of Aloha” almost immediately after.That story alone would've been enough chaos for one episode, but the gang ALSO gets into creepy Craigslist tornado roommates, scary adult situations that still make us feel like terrified children, haunted basements, ladder death anxiety, customer service panic attacks, and why the Apple Store apparently refuses to answer phones despite literally selling phones for a living.Also discussed:The dark comedy movie ObsessionThe world ending on August 12th (allegedly)Rich people apocalypse escape plansDrive-thru embarrassmentDentist horror storiesBusch Stadium heroicsCheryl the mannequinBasically your average Tuesday in St. Louis.Subscribe for more daily comedy, weird news, hilarious fails, celebrity chaos, and unfiltered nonsense from The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Can't Sue The ShadowsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The gang kicks things off with chaos before the coffee even hits — Lern forgets her headphones, Rafe and King Scott recap their suspiciously romantic Alamo Drafthouse “date night,” and somehow a horror movie promo turns into a discussion about cursed wish sticks and meat sandwiches. Totally normal behavior for a daily comedy show.Then the show spirals beautifully into creepy Craigslist tornado bunker ads, haunted South City basements, mannequin roommates named Cheryl, and why every adult still turns into a terrified 9-year-old at the dentist. Add in parallel parking panic, scary medical test notifications, and Apple Store rage, and you've got another emotionally stable episode of the Rizzuto Show comedy podcast.The crew gets hyped for Point Fest, shouts out local band Trevor May & The Nomads, and debates whether they're actually cooler now than they were in high school — which somehow leads to discussions about danglers, acne glow-ups, mysterious coolness rankings, and midlife-crisis trucks. Just a completely reasonable funny podcast conversation.Plus: Rafe gets weirdly philosophical about popularity, Lern overshares in ways no one requested, and the gang proves once again that aging gracefully is for quitters. Then it's straight into celebrity gossip, Tool Sphere rumors, Point Fest excitement, and enough sarcastic life advice to accidentally become a self-help seminar. Gas thieves are apparently leveling up from siphoning to full-on drilling holes in gas tanks, and the gang reacts exactly how you'd expect: with panic, truck jokes, and debates about whether giant lifted trucks are compensation for “something else.” Welcome to your favorite daily comedy podcast.Then the show dives into “Majority Rules,” where listeners attempt to match answers with the crew while Hurricane Chris accidentally invents a brand-new version of The Eagles featuring David Lee Roth. Throw in Game of Thrones confusion, celebrity guessing disasters, Point Fest ticket giveaways, and Rafe barely holding the game together, and you've got another masterpiece of organized nonsense from The Rizzuto Show.

Following Clinton's victory, Pamela was appointed Ambassador to France, a role she took with immense seriousness despite her lack of formal education. She became a highly respected diplomat, earning praise for her work on the 50th anniversary of D-Day and her "invisible but decisive" role in the Bosnia peace negotiations. She used her personal experience of the Blitz to provide a moral compass for ending the Balkan bloodshed, effectively bridging the gap between Washington and Paris. However, her final years were marred by stress from lawsuits filed by Averell Harriman'schildren over his fortune, which threatened her with bankruptcy. Under this pressure, she suffered a fatal brain hemorrhage while swimming at the Ritz in Paris. At her funeral, President Bill Clinton delivered a moving tribute, stating he would not have reached the presidency without her and praising her significant contributions to her adopted country.
