What happens when an Amazon delivery driver sees a cooler of cake pops next to a sign that basically says “treat yourself”? Apparently, you get a social media controversy, an apology, a payment, an angry bakery owner, and millions of people choosing sides over four dollars' worth of dessert. Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, where today's funny podcast begins with celebrity birthdays and quickly escalates into the Great Cake Pop Incident.First, Rizz runs through another batch of celebrity birthdays, including Zendaya, Gloria Estefan, Billy Blanks, Dr. Phil, Barry Gibb, and Lily Tomlin. Naturally, Billy Blanks gives Rafe the opportunity to explain how knowing Tae Bo has apparently prepared him for street combat. Nothing says “please don't fight me” quite like threatening a man with a dance kick.Then we get to Homemade Haven Porch Bakery and an Amazon delivery driver named Wes, who grabs one $4 cake pop after seeing a “treat yourself” sign near a cooler of baked goods. Wes says he thought the treats were being left out for delivery drivers. Instead of a simple misunderstanding, the bakery posts Ring camera footage online, asks people to identify him, and calls him a thief.Wes apologizes. His wife sends the bakery $5. He even asks people NOT to boycott the business.Surely everybody acts like reasonable adults from there.Oh, sweet innocent listener.The bakery doubles down, the internet discovers the story, and suddenly millions of people are debating porch etiquette, social media shaming, small-business behavior, and whether anyone committing an actual cake-pop heist would really stop after stealing exactly one.After dessert-based international diplomacy fails, First Alert 4 morning anchors Claire Kellett and Maurice Drummond join the show to talk about the launch of First Alert 4 on ABC in St. Louis. We compare morning-show schedules and discover that waking up around 2:30 a.m. is apparently a perfectly normal lifestyle choice when you've abandoned all hope of respecting your circadian rhythm.Claire and Maurice talk about balancing early mornings with family life, the changing television business, working alongside people who become family, and what it means to be part of the daily routine for viewers across St. Louis. Maurice looks back on his years covering sports, including Cardinals World Series celebrations, the Blues winning the Stanley Cup, and Mizzou's huge win over Kansas at Arrowhead. Claire shares memories from covering Ferguson and talks about growing up in the St. Louis area before eventually coming home to work in local television.And because this is still a funny podcast, the serious media conversation naturally includes Steve Templeton memes, jokes about shirtless weather coverage, Rizz being called a bridge troll, questionable radio wardrobes, vitamin D deprivation, free donuts, and the realization that everybody working in morning media is basically hanging on by a thread.Claire and Maurice also explain what First Alert 4 expanding onto ABC means for St. Louis viewers: more news, weather, sports and traffic, plus major ABC programming and sports coverage. We even begin the extremely official campaign to get Maurice sent to the Super Bowl, because apparently this radio show now controls television travel budgets.By the end, we've covered celebrity birthdays, viral cake-pop justice, careers in St. Louis media, World Series locker rooms, Ferguson, morning-show exhaustion, college kids leaving home, TV budgets, Steve Templeton's imaginary abs, and the powerful advertising potential of a decent free T-shirt.In other words: another perfectly organized episode of your favorite funny podcast.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.
Rizz is preparing for his extremely prestigious duties as a Wing Ding judge, specifically in the traditional buffalo category, which is apparently the kind of responsibility this show has been training him for his entire life. The crew debates proper wing-eating strategy, whether fasting beforehand is genius or idiotic, and naturally gets Joey Chestnut involved in the conversation without Joey Chestnut actually being there to defend himself.Then there's actual rock-star business: Chad Gray of Mudvayne is coming into the studio. That sends everybody down memory lane with LD 50, old Mudvayne tattoos, central Illinois geography and the important question nobody else had the courage to ask: what exactly does “Mudvayne” mean? Welcome to the hard-hitting journalism portion of your favorite funny podcast.September also means Sober September, an idea Rizz immediately rejects because there's a wedding coming up and apparently his liver already accepted the calendar invite. The gang talks declining alcohol consumption, cocktail attire, velvet suits, bolo ties and the possibility of Rafe attending a wedding dressed like a cowboy who recently discovered formalwear.The substance discussion somehow gives way to altitude sickness, canned oxygen and e-bikes capable of sending a teenager to school at highway speeds. With local schools introducing new rules for electric bikes and scooters, the crew reminisces about riding regular bikes to school—the primitive version that required legs, poor planning and occasionally missing first period.The crew dives into reports of understaffing, blind spots, online creep behavior and the increasingly obvious conclusion that some people desperately need hobbies that don't result in police reports.Just when you thought Vin Diesel's greatest contribution to emotional storytelling involved family, fast cars, and staring intensely into the middle distance, he goes and surprises everybody with a heartfelt tribute to Dolly Parton.Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where we apparently begin with Vin Diesel singing “I Will Always Love You” and somehow get MORE unpredictable from there.The crew tries to identify the mystery celebrity behind the surprisingly vulnerable performance before learning it's Vin Diesel—and, against all reasonable expectations, everybody is impressed. His deep voice and emotional delivery lead to the obvious conclusion that somebody should probably get this man “Ol' Man River” immediately.Keanu's mother, Patricia Taylor, worked as a costume designer for Dolly, including creating the famous black bunny outfit Dolly wore for her 1978 Playboy cover. That outfit eventually made its way into the Reeves household, where teenage Keanu reportedly wore it for Halloween—bunny ears, bustier, fishnets, bow tie, sneakers and all. Somehow, this only strengthens the crew's argument that Keanu Reeves may be next in line for the title of universally beloved celebrity.From there, Crap on Celebrities gets moving with Miley Cyrus seemingly entering her one-name era, discussion surrounding Kelly Osbourne and public speculation about her appearance, and Bad Wolves releasing their metal version of “Jolene.” The crew also gets into the Sphere making The Wizard of Oz even more ridiculous, chart talk, Lionel Richie's health scare following his St. Louis performance, ZZ Top continuing forward, Kelly Clarkson wrapping her talk show, Jamie Pressley's reported hotel drama, and Mel Gibson apologizing after an awkward moment involving a sign-language interpreter.Then Chad Gray joins the show ahead of his 30 Years of Madness stop at Delmar Hall, and the conversation turns into a trip through three decades of heavy music.Chad talks about building a set from roughly 12 albums of material across Mudvayne and HELLYEAH, including deep cuts that force him to keep lyric sheets nearby because apparently even the guy who wrote the songs occasionally needs the musical equivalent of checking his notes.He explains how he's kept his voice intact after decades of screaming and singing, what he learned from vocal coach Melissa Cross, and how his approach has evolved from essentially hitting every note “like a linebacker” to using more technique and finesse.What happens when an Amazon delivery driver sees a cooler of cake pops next to a sign that basically says “treat yourself”?

Some of the biggest debates include whether the Rams-49ers Australia matchup is screaming UNDER, why Houston could upset Buffalo, whether Jacksonville belongs in your Week 1 survivor pool, a Dolphins-Raiders upset pick, and whether Denver can knock off Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City at Arrowhead.

If you ask anyone in KC, it's a stone cold lock that Patrick Mahomes in starting against the Broncos in Week 1 and that includes asking anyone in the media. But media outside KC are pointing out some contradictions in what the Chiefs are saying, and doing right now, and interpret this situation as totally up in the air. I'd never heard of Farm School until I had lunch with Tim and Britt Cross of www.crosskitchenskc.com Wednesday. Their oldest attends Farm School "Lolly and Pops" in Raymore and were featured on a piece produced by KSHB-TV. This is one of the greatest school ideas ever... you have to hear this. Senator Josh Hawley is targeting Flock Cameras alongside.... Bernie Sanders? JOCO property taxes are going up again next year, your democrat leaders couldn't hate you more. In Sports, the Royals win streak ends at 9 as they faced another Mizzou starting pitcher in Toronto. The Big 12 joins the Big Ten and SEC in not allowing pros to come back to college and I think they made a mistake at least in the short term. TCU pulls credentials from the largest media outlet covering their football team as they head for Ireland to face Bill Belichick's UNC team. And TCU is 1000% in the wrong. A new documentary by the best sports talk show host in KC, Carrington Harrison, debuts Thursday night at Screenland Armour Theater in NKC and it's called Armageddon at Arrowhead. It's about that epic MU-KU football game at Arrowhead nearly 20 years ago. ESPN dumps something for college football, Tom Brady's store in SF gets robbed and a girl is dominating the Little League World Series.
On the day of the release of Armageddon at Arrowhead, The Drive opened the show discussing how the 07 MU/KU game was one of the most unique stadium experiences.
We talk with Carrington Harrison about his Armageddon at Arrowhead documentary which will premier on Thursday night at Streamland Armour Theater in North Kansas City. After that, Gabe and Cody draft a full Mizzou roster in our annual preseason draft. Check out the teams and decide who has the better roster.
In the fourth and final hour of New day we start by playing audio from Eric Beinemy, who spoke at camp yesterday, be4fore we are joined by Matt Derrick of Chiefsdigest.com to discuss some players out from practice today, plus former Chiefs, Jets, and Giants linebacker Cam Jones being added back to the roster. SSJ and Matt also discuss the position of the return man and how it could affect the building of the roster. Next New day is joined by friend of the show Mike Depasquale in studio to discuss the start of Football season, as well as the 6th annual DM Law media day at Arrowhead stadium, celebrating High school Football.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Erin Coscarelli and Rob Havenstein talk big rob's first game in the booth! The Rams opened their 2026 preseason with a 20-12 win over the Chiefs at Arrowhead, but it was rookie first-rounder Ty Simpson who stole it — going 21-of-25 for 190 yards and two touchdowns to Dean Connors in relief work, looking every bit the part Sean McVay hoped for when he drafted him. Havenstein breaks down what stood out about Simpson's poise against mostly third- and fourth-string competition, plus a look at Stetson Bennett's limited but efficient 4-of-6, 36-yard showing as he continues fighting for QB2.

With GEHA leaving Arrowhead as the naming right sponsor, The Drive wondered what the name of the new stadiums will be.
Andy doesn't have a shower or a working septic tank during a remodel of the house. It's a fun time around his place. Other than that, we have thoughts on the "New" Arrowhead stadium renderings.
The Chiefs got on the field 11 on 11 and all systems are go for the team, and more importantly, Patrick Mahomes. The NFL's most decorated quarterback was a full go and that has everyone optimistic. Andy Reid loves his new runningback and off the field he reports that Mia Bienemy is out of ICU. Team President Mark Donovan discussed the process of securing a Super Bowl at the new Arrowhead and we are one week away from the first NFL preseason game... ugh... the Cardinals and Panthers. The Royals won a clean game 4-0 that had a bunch of really unusual things in it including Salvy hitting a triple. Anthony Fauci had one really horrible day Wednesday getting grilled by Senators and used his fifth amendment rights 111 times to not answer any questions. A new poll shows just how much men hate the democrat party. Kansas candidate for governor Philip Sarnecki is getting me and Jessica's votes in the primary Tuesday.... we'll talk with him about his plan to audit the state and sell the governor's $9 million airplane. I really like what I hear and he clearly has run the best campaign. That matters to me.
The Drive opened the show discussing what the Chiefs President Mark Donovan had to say when he spoke to the media about the future Arrowhead stadium.

Salvador Perez is an all timer and one of my very favorite athletes to ever cover. He seemingly never has a bad day. On Wednesday he banged a record homer into the fountains in right center but seemed more worried about the man that jumped in to get the ball being arrested than he did about the record. That's Salvy. Today... we explain why he should be a lock for the Hall of Fame. The Chiefs released renderings and information on their new stadium and it looks spectacular. It will "sound" even better. The Chiefs are building a stadium way louder than Arrowhead and it may just be the loudest stadium in the world. Election fraud is now center stage as democrats can never, ever say again that illegal aliens don't vote. The House passes a proposal to ad military funding to the budget that includes a soft voter ID initiative. It's not great, but it could be a little something to help against the fraud. Singer Ella Langley smashes records with her crazy great hit song "Choosin' Texas" and a comic sums up our lettuce problem in a hilarious way. Our Final Final is a wild new beer they are selling at the Minnesota State Fair.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're delving into a series of significant breakthroughs and strategic moves reshaping the industry landscape. Repligen Corporation's recent decision to acquire BioLife Solutions for $1.5 billion marks a pivotal moment in the cell therapy sector. BioLife Solutions' expertise in cryopreservation media is integral to maintaining cell viability during storage and transport—an essential factor for the success of cell therapies in oncology and regenerative medicine. This acquisition ensures Repligen a stable supply chain to support the burgeoning demand for advanced therapeutic options, potentially enhancing patient outcomes through more reliable treatments. Meanwhile, Novartis is expanding its reach in South Korea with a $95 million investment aimed at enhancing its radioligand therapy supply chain. Radioligand therapy represents a groundbreaking approach in oncology, utilizing targeted radioactive particles to specifically attack cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. This strategic investment underscores Novartis's commitment to ensuring a robust infrastructure for delivering innovative cancer treatments. On the clinical front, Crystalys Therapeutics has made waves by securing $130 million in Series B funding, propelling their gout treatment, Dotinurad, into Phase 3 trials. This drug targets uric acid levels, addressing a significant unmet need in gout management. The progression into late-stage trials reflects confidence in Dotinurad's potential to provide effective relief for patients suffering from this painful condition. Regulatory advancements are also making headlines with the UK's MHRA granting approval to Chiesi's Clenil Modulite with a low-carbon propellant for asthma maintenance treatment. This move signifies a crucial step towards more sustainable pharmaceutical practices without compromising efficacy—setting a potential benchmark for future respiratory treatments that incorporate eco-friendly technologies. In business development news, Ashlins Pharmaceuticals and Lee's Pharmaceutical have struck a $31 million licensing deal for interferon alpha-2b outside China, focusing on rare diseases. Similarly, Jupiter Neurosciences' acquisition of MDMA asset ALA-002 from Pharmala Biotech illustrates ongoing interest in small molecule therapeutics for neurological conditions. Royalty Pharma's significant $425 million payment to Neurimmune highlights strategic investments in cardiovascular therapies through royalty financing, underscoring confidence in advancing novel treatments. Concurrently, Dimension has raised an impressive $800 million for an AI-driven biotech drug discovery fund. The integration of AI promises accelerated drug development timelines and enhanced precision in identifying viable candidates. However, not every development is favorable. Celldex Therapeutics faced a setback with their Phase 2 trial failure for barzolvolimab in prurigo nodularis patients. Such challenges highlight the inherent risks associated with innovative drug development. Turning our attention to another scientific milestone, Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals has reported promising Phase 3 data on its triglyceride-lowering drug, Plozasiran. With analysts praising its "best-in-class profile," Arrowhead aims for FDA approval by year-end, setting up potential competition with Ionis Pharmaceuticals' Tryngolza. These advancements underscore significant progress in targeting specific lipid disorders and the promise of novel therapies to improve cardiovascular health. Corporate strategies are also evolving as seen with Sanofi undergoing executive restructuring under new leadership by CEO Belen Garijo. This reflects broader industry trends where leadership shifts align corporate strategies with market demands and scientific opportunities. Legal developments have not gone unnoticed either. Amgen's $74 million settlement over allegations of concealing a substantial tax bill highlights ongoing scrutiny over corporate governance within the sector. Meanwhile, industry giants are rallying around regulatory defenses, as evidenced by biopharma companies supporting the FDA amidst legal challenges concerning mifepristone—a move emphasizing the industry's vested interest in maintaining access to drugs based on scientific merit. From a technological perspective, companies are increasingly adopting connected trial technologies to streamline processes such as consent and reporting—advancements crucial for reducing patient burden and accelerating drug development timelines. In conclusion, these developments portray an industry at the forefront of scientific innovation while navigating complex regulatory environments and ethical considerations. As firms continue exploring novel treatment avenues and leveraging technological advancements like AI, they position themselves for transformative impacts on patient care and global health outcomes. We look forward to keeping you updated on these exciting trends shaping the future of pharma and biotech industries.Support the show
Wildfires burning across Minnesota's Arrowhead have not been very active in recent days. Tom Hall with the U.S. Forest Service says cooler, wetter weather has allowed fire containment to improve.

We all woke up to stunning news Sunday with the sudden passing of long time South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham. President Trump said he had just spoken with the Senator, who had just returned from Ukraine, and that Graham sounded tired. Washington reacted to a man that even many democrats respected and liked. Meanwhile, Trump issues a harrowing threat to Iran of what will transpire if Trump is assassinated. And he's not kidding. Argentina needed some drama in the 112th minute of its match Saturday night against Switzerland to advance to the World Cup Final Four. The Royals select a right handed hitting outfielder from Louisville with the #6 pick overall in the MLB draft. He's the third #6 overall in Royals history... the other two worked out really well. And Stan Weber joins us after going to Big 12 Media Days last week and our focus is the upcoming season for the Kansas Jayhawks. This is a make or break year for 6th year coach Lance Leipold.
The first hour of New Day hosted by Steven St. John, and producer Jake Gutierrez. Todd Leabo is in studio with SSJ. The guys discuss the Royals draft, and SSJ and Todd recount their time at the FIFA World Cup Quarter final at Arrowhead. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In one of the more unbelievable sports stories you'll ever hear, the Royals were popping champagne bottles in New York just like they did after beating the Mets in the World Series 11 years ago. Why? Light hitting utility man Tyler Tolbert tied a Major League hitting record for the ages that's less likely to have happened than getting struck by lighting... twice! President Trump says he's done with the Iran ceasefire and he said it at NATO meetings in Turkey. This is really, really gutsy as he's not really as safe there as he is at home. For now, the ceasefire is over and Trump is done negotiating. For now. ICE agents are increasingly active in one KCK neighborhood and they're happy to have you video recording their work. We share a list of the most conservative colleges in America, one area school is the most conservative government school. In Sports, Messi now has 8 goals in this World Cup as Argentina makes a miraculous comeback against Egypt and will now play Saturday at Arrowhead. Former KU star Darryn Peterson is killing it in NBA summer play as he's pretty healthy now. And we've learned that in World Cup cities like KC... it's all about the singles dating scene. You have to hear this.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is bringing out the best of Kansas City ... or is it the other away around?The massive global soccer tournament's group-stage games at Kansas City (Arrowhead) Stadium provided incredible drama, all the way down to the final goal. The Netherlands' “Oranje FanWalk” captivated the city and Arrowhead was painted in different hues for each match.Now, it's on to the knockout-round games. Kansas City plays host to two, a Round of 32 contest on Friday and a quarterfinal after that.On SportsBeat KC, the sports podcast of The Kansas City Star and KCUR (89.3 FM), soccer correspondent Daniel Sperry shares his thoughts on what's happened here in the tournament thus far, and what could on the horizon.One thing we know for certain: Friday's next match in Kansas City pits Colombia vs. Ghana.

It's produced by Hannah Wise, Suzanne Hogan, and Gabriella Lacey, and edited by Jeff Rosen and Scott Chasen.
Carrington told the story of his full day of soccer on Saturday including a watch party for Croatia and the match at Arrowhead.
The Drive continued to look into how Buffalo is handling PSLs and season tickets at their new stadium and what it means for the future Arrowhead.
Authorities have finally found the crazy dude that shot up a bunch of cars on I-70 the first night of the World Cup in KC. He's dead and apparantly was dead in a house they previously combed over. But it gets worse. It seems at least one police department wasn't interested in looking for him BEFORE the shootings as they were too busy working World Cup events. Senator John Thune has ordered a 19 day vacation for the US Senate, right after Trump went too see them on Capitol Hill imploring them to pass the SAVE America Act. This is so embarrassing. The Netherlands fans are taking over KC Thursday and they seem nice enough. But let's remember they are not American.... I have the deets on one reason why. Saturday night's game at Arrowhead is shaping up to be a match where Austria and Algeria both want to lose so they can face an easier opponent in the knockout round. A coach with the New England Patriots is marrying a reporter that covers the team and a popular fast food item from years and years ago is back for a limited time.
Argentina's soccer star Lionel Messi had a match for the ages Tuesday night at Arrowhead as he started quickly with a goal that was taken away by an offside call. So he proceded to score three more! All three in the match to be accurate as Argentina and it's 50,000 or so fans at Arrowhead went wild watching a 3-0 win over Algeria. It was spectacular. But how many Kansas Citians were there remains a bit of a mystery and doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. KC residents turned out everywhere Tuesday for free fan events and watch parties and we're clearly finding our stride. There were shots of some empty seats at Arrowhead even though 500 million people were watching on tv globally, and a Sports Illustrated writer posted a screenshot from a ticket service two hours before the start that had tickets for $69. We cover all the stories, all over the country on today's episode. The Big 12's lawsuit filed against Ken Paxton and Texas Tech was just a stone cold killer. The suit had nothing to do with the gambling quarterback, wait until you hear what their rock star law firm dialed up for the conference. President Trump stars at the G7 and touts peace, low oil prices and a skyrocketing stock market. Then he just hammers Obama. JD Vance's book tour is not going well. It's not a disaster but I just don't understand what he's doing right now. The annual fast food customer service rankings are out and for the first time in over a decade, Chik Fil A is not the winner. And our Final Final is a new report on the astounding growth of podcast listening in America.
After all the talk, all the promises, all the changes and all the hype.... we finally get a World Cup match at Arrowhead in KC. Let's forget all the other stuff and just celebrate high level sports competition that really, really matters to billions of people around the world. Texas Tech got hit from all sides Monday as the Big 12 filed a lawsuit to make their gambling quarterback ineligible, Kansas AG Kris Kobach fired off a letter and case precedent to the Texas AG and Tech's own coach put his foot in his mouth. So it finally happened... we got a Texas Tech Fold 'Em. Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice is free and we're hoping 30 days behind bars gives him a new attitude for how to live his life. A massive terror ring was plotting a huge operation for UFC 250 at the White House Sunday night and it sounds like this group of folks really doesn't like Jews very much. A local radio host steps away, again, to seek treatment for addiction. Scott Parks says he hasn't been honest on radio and I have some thoughts on how free he will feel if he comes clean. And restaurants around KC are adding fees to your bill for the World Cup so be careful and one iconic joint is changing the way it operates for the next month. Ugh.
