One of the questions I hear most often from former boarders is:"Why did I hate prep school but love public school?"Or sometimes:"Why was public school much harder than prep school?"In this solo episode, I explore the different experiences people report and why those differences may exist.Drawing on stories from Roald Dahl, David Cameron, Ranulph Fiennes, Bear Grylls and John Peel, I examine how children adapt to boarding school environments and why the first boarding experience often has such a profound impact.We discuss homesickness, bullying, adaptation, dissociation, betrayal trauma and the long-term effects of boarding school on identity, relationships and leadership.Whether you attended boarding school yourself or work with those who did, this episode offers important reflections on how early experiences shape adult life.---Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems. He also runs online men's groups for ex-boarders, retreats and a podcast called An Evolving Man. He is also the author of How to Survive and Thrive in Challenging Times.

The crew kicks things off with some peak pre-show chaos, bouncing from deep life talks about health, blood work, and existential truck ownership (Rafe is this close to buying a Tacoma and embracing his emotional support pickup era) to a truly unhinged discussion about a car with a built-in toilet—because nothing says innovation like risking your dignity at 70 mph. From there, they spiral into debates about RV survival plans, messy homes ruining your mental health, and whether adulthood is just cleaning your house until you die. The show somehow gets even more personal with a surprisingly heated argument about washcloths vs. hands vs. loofahs (turns out only 17% of people are Team Washcloth, and yes, people are judging HARD). They wrap this segment with morning routine hacks, snooze button confessions, and the reality that everyone's just trying to survive early mornings—preferably by getting back into bed as soon as humanly possible.The gang recovers from 4/20 in very on-brand fashion (some celebrated, some “observed,” some just judged), then dives into a mix of history, celebrity chaos, and music talk. They run through “on this day” moments—from the Red Baron to Prince—before shifting into celebrity news and music debates, including a passionate breakdown of Bob Seger as the ultimate blue-collar legend (basically everyone's dad, emotionally). There's also talk of a viral guy labeling “Bob Seger-approved bars,” Fred Durst trying to start a festival for snubbed artists, Jelly Roll training for a marathon while casually talking about removing excess skin (which… the crew has thoughts on), and Disturbed's billion-stream milestone. They round it out with TV updates, including Nikki Glaser, Bear Grylls, and Euphoria drama, all while maintaining that perfect mix of pop culture insight and “how did we get here?” energy.The show leans fully into listener chaos with the “Three and Five” game, where contestants have five seconds to name three things without fumbling—and spoiler alert: a lot of fumbling happens. From questionable answers like “bananas” for things that come in pairs to accidental self-sabotage with “uh” penalties, the game delivers pure, unpredictable comedy. Some contestants clutch it, others crash and burn spectacularly, and the crew roasts them every step of the way. There's also a lingering mystery about whether someone farted in Riz's chair (yes, there's apparently a full investigation video, because journalism matters). Between awkward silences, chaotic judging, and brutally funny moments, the segment is a perfect snapshot of the show's interactive, anything-can-happen vibe.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.World Sleep Day 2026Most & Least Stressed States (2026)'Allergic' to your office?

A former SAS soldier, he has climbed Everest, circumnavigated the British Isles on a jet ski, rowed naked in a bathtub along the Thames and once broke his back in a parachuting accident.

Bear Grylls has done some really hard things; fighting off a boa constrictor in a flooded ravine, drinking liquid from elephant dung in the dry Savannah, climbing Mount Everest. But the world-famous adventurer, survival expert, and former British Special Forces soldier says the hardest thing he's ever done is writing a book about the life of Jesus. He takes the Bible's story of Jesus and, without altering the facts, reimagines it as a modern thriller. It's written in the first person from the perspectives of five people who knew Christ best. The book is called, The Greatest Story Ever Told: An Eyewitness Account, Bear Grylls
