Podcast appearances and mentions of Billy Corgan

Dust off that giant binder of scratched CDs you definitely didn't throw away because apparently funny podcast history has come full circle: physical media is making a comeback.The show kicks off with the surprising resurgence of CDs, with sales jumping while vinyl growth slows down. Why? Turns out paying nearly $40 for a new record eventually makes people reconsider the humble compact disc. Gen Z is getting into CDs, independent record stores are stocking more of them, older cars still have CD players, and there's something comforting about owning music that can't suddenly disappear from a streaming service. Moon also realizes those boxes of old band CDs might not be useless relics after all. Congratulations to everyone who refused to clean out their basement. Your moment has arrived.Then Crap on Celebrities takes us directly into the wildly expensive world of Hollywood memorabilia. A screen-matched mosquito-in-amber prop from the original Jurassic Park sells for more than $400,000, while Christopher Reeve's Superman gear and John Travolta's famous Saturday Night Fever suit also bring ridiculous money at auction.Naturally, this becomes less about collecting important pieces of movie history and more about whether you're morally obligated to PUT THE COSTUME ON.Because if you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Superman's costume just to leave it behind glass, what are we even doing here?The crew also gets into entertainment news, including the changing timeline between theatrical releases and streaming, Toy Story 5, a live-action Scooby-Doo prequel, and Ghost taking a hiatus after Tobias Forge admits he doesn't currently have a clear vision for the band's next album. We salute a man willing to say, “I don't know what the next thing is yet,” instead of releasing twelve remixes and a commemorative popcorn bucket.Then there's Grand Theft Auto.The latest massive GTA preview sends the room into gamer mode as the crew talks about the gigantic map, Jason and Lucia's evolving relationship, smarter cops, surveillance cameras, changing disguises, massive police chases and an enormous story that could consume roughly 80 hours of your life.So basically, Rockstar has created a second full-time job, except this one lets you steal cars.The funny podcast chaos keeps rolling with Paris Hilton landing on a list of influential people in artificial intelligence because of her advocacy surrounding privacy and non-consensual AI-generated media. Then the hunt for the next James Bond gives everyone a chance to evaluate candidates with the rigorous casting standards you'd expect from three guys who immediately nominate Mr. Bean.And finally, we tackle one of the most important databases ever assembled: tall and short rock stars.Chris Novoselic. Danny Carey. Mick Fleetwood. Buckethead. Joey Ramone. Billy Corgan. Angus Young. Prince. Glenn Danzig. Stevie Nicks. The measurements are flying, everyone suddenly seems either seven feet tall or legally eligible for a booster seat, and we discover once again that stage presence apparently adds about eight inches.Throw in celebrity birthdays, Luis Guzmán appreciation, Warren Buffett confusion, Charlie Munger confusion, additional Charlie confusion, and the traditional descent into nonsense, and you've got another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show.Physical media is back. Movie props cost more than retirement. GTA may require PTO. And Danzig is still Danzig at any height.That's enough education for one day.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.

Today's episode begins exactly where every respectable radio program should: debating canned chili and whether The Rizzuto Show should abandon broadcasting altogether to open a chili parlor. Because apparently decades of radio experience were merely preparation for serving questionable bowls of meat during a St. Louis summer.The crew gets into a disturbing local story involving two kittens rescued after being thrown from a moving vehicle, which launches a conversation about animal cruelty, punishment, and why there have been so many bizarre animal-abuse cases around the St. Louis area. Thankfully, the kittens are recovering, because this show has enough emotional damage without adding more.Then we head to the amusement park formerly known as Six Flags, talk about its new Mid America Adventure identity, and immediately start remembering the various roller coasters that have spent decades attempting to rearrange our internal organs. That leads us to California's X2 coaster and reports of riders suffering terrifying medical emergencies. Naturally, half the room hears “brain hemorrhage” and responds like someone just announced a new thrill ride they absolutely have to try.Rafe also gives us an update from the dating world, including his Texas connection and the increasingly complicated rules surrounding modern romance. That turns into the question every hopeless romantic eventually has to answer: is a grand gesture thoughtful… or are you about three seconds away from appearing in somebody's “THIS GUY IS A CREEP” TikTok?A guy goes on two dates with a woman, finds her address without asking, and sends her Mother's Day flowers supposedly from her dog. Sweet? Creepy? Thirsty? The Rizz Show Supreme Court is now in session, and absolutely nobody involved has passed the bar.Apparently this question is complicated enough to involve law enforcement, surveillance footage, social media, and an actual public search for the guy who picked up the cash. Suddenly our daily comedy podcast has become CSI: Walmart, where the suspect is armed with three ten-dollar bills and an extremely debatable interpretation of “finders keepers.”We also get into air-travel nightmares after a pilot suffers a medical emergency during a flight and still manages to help get the plane safely on the ground. Meanwhile, Moon is preparing to fly, which is exactly the kind of story you want to hear immediately before heading to an airport.The episode's namesake saga involves Yolanda Jackson, a drive-through order, a dangerously hot pot pie, severe burns, permanent scarring, and the resulting courtroom battle. Nothing says daily comedy quite like discovering your food apparently requires protective equipment.It's another episode filled with St. Louis stories, weird news, dating disasters, food catastrophes, questionable financial ethics, amusement-park trauma, and the kind of conversations that start somewhere reasonable before wandering directly into the woods.Dust off that giant binder of scratched CDs you definitely didn't throw away because apparently funny podcast history has come full circle: physical media is making a comeback.The show kicks off with the surprising resurgence of CDs, with sales jumping while vinyl growth slows down. Why? Turns out paying nearly $40 for a new record eventually makes people reconsider the humble compact disc.

The measurements are flying, everyone suddenly seems either seven feet tall or legally eligible for a booster seat, and we discover once again that stage presence apparently adds about eight inches.Carefully constructed journeys through comedy, culture, and the human condition. This one starts with an eagle call, gets yelled at by an offended listener, drinks imaginary Malört, sends Riz back to college, remembers the horrors of Rotten.com, and eventually makes everybody emotional over Dolly Parton. So… basically the same thing.The Rizzuto Show kicks off with Team JB and the Zero Prostate Cancer Run and Walk in memory of our buddy Jeff Burton, plus Greek Fire getting ready for a show benefiting Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital. Then we get into one of radio's oldest traditions: somebody getting mad enough at the show to contact the bosses.This time, a listener wasn't thrilled about the proximity of the Porno Birthday to a children's charity announcement. Riz got the dreaded “Can I see you before you leave?” message, and suddenly we're debating whether everybody is too easily offended, whether people need to watch what they say, and whether society could possibly locate that mythical middle ground where empathy and a sense of humor coexist.Rafe brings the comedian's perspective to the argument, including the audience member who loves 99 jokes but desperately needs to inform you about the one they didn't like. Our solution remains remarkably simple: maybe leave that joke at the club and take the other ones home.We discover that Malört has somehow created an entire identity around tasting terrible. Most companies try to convince customers their product is delicious. Malört basically dares you to survive it. The gang dives into its hilariously hostile marketing, its reputation as Chicago's favorite way to punish a friend, and the important question nobody has apparently answered: Is anyone ordering this stuff because they actually enjoy it?From there, we say farewell to Sam Rizzuto's dream of college independence after Riz tours the University of Arkansas and realizes he might want the full college experience himself. Suddenly we're imagining a Back to School scenario where father and son become Razorbacks together, share a dorm, take Intro to Communications, and graduate in the same class. Nothing weird about that whatsoever, Sam. Your new roommate just happens to be Dad.The real RIPs begin with tributes to Peter Cullen and Tim Curry, celebrating two remarkable careers and the voices, characters, movies, and performances they left behind.Finally, Rafe delivers a deeply personal tribute to Dolly Parton.It's funny, sincere, personal, and probably more emotionally responsible than anything surrounding the previous discussion of Malört.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.Two kittens recovering after being thrown from vehicle, covered in what shelter believes was bleachSix Flags St. Louis officially rebrands as Mid America AdventureIntense Six Flags Coaster Closed After Two Riders Suffer Brain Hemorrhages: “It's Got to Stop”Man Finds $30 on the Ground, Then Learns He's Wanted by PoliceDelta flight from LA to Boston lands in Detroit as captain gets sick: "I am the one who is ill"Woman left scarred by burns from Church's Chicken pot pie wins $20,000 in lawsuitMiss Sheri's Cafeteria closing after 54 yearsNever-Ending Pasta Bowl returns to Olive Garden menu at special price for limited timeCouple accused of stealing hundreds of library books to resellBloomington Man, 19, Charged After Applebee's Bomb Threat Over Slow FoodFlorida man caught speeding claimed he was rushing to Buc-ee's bathroomSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For 10 years, Amy Jo Martin has asked hundreds of entrepreneurs, creators, athletes and cultural icons one deceptively simple question: Why Not Now?   In this special 10-year anniversary episode of the Why Not Now? podcast, the person usually behind the scenes steps up to the mic. Longtime producer Richard Grewar joins Amy Jo to look back at a decade of conversations, unexpected moments and lessons that have shaped the show - and both of their lives.   They go back to the beginning: launching the podcast from a boat in San Diego, landing Mark Cuban as their first guest and figuring out production as they went. From there, they revisit memorable conversations with guests including Tony Robbins, Matthew McConaughey, Billy Corgan and more, along with the moments that proved some of the most powerful stories don't always come from the biggest names.   Amy Jo and Richard also unpack how podcasting has changed over the past decade, why genuine curiosity still beats a perfectly prepared question, and what producing hundreds of hours of conversation can teach you about listening, decision-making, the power of a follow up question and knowing when not to edit out the silence.   There are stories about recording through steam trains, unreliable Wi-Fi, an RV and even a makeshift studio near the NICU. But at its core, this episode is about what happens when you keep following your curiosity - even when you don't know where it's leading.   Ten years later, the question remains the same.   Why Not Now?   Amy Jo Martin speaks globally on Humanizing AI, Leadership, Decision-Making, and the Future of Work.

The Grand Theft Auto 6 rumor mill is firing on all cylinders. Alleged leaks suggest GTA 6 could make players actually refuel their cars, because apparently escaping the cops and committing fictional felonies wasn't immersive enough. Now we may get the authentic experience of realizing the tank is on E at the absolute worst possible moment.Would stolen cars come with random amounts of gas? Could you abandon one because the tank is empty? Would GTA Costco memberships get you cheaper fuel? These are the important questions being asked by this comedy podcast while the rest of society presumably does something productive.Then we discover—or rediscover, depending on how damaged everyone's memory is—the 1985 cinematic achievement known as Gymkata.The premise is magnificently stupid: take gymnastics, combine it with karate and create an unstoppable martial art. That's it. That's the movie. Olympic gymnast Kurt Thomas is sent on a dangerous mission where his greatest weapon is himself…and the conveniently placed gymnastics equipment that somehow keeps appearing whenever dozens of bad guys need to be kicked in the face.Moon reveals that Gymkata has been living rent-free in his subconscious since childhood, including scenes that still randomly appear in his dreams. This launches the crew into an extremely important celebration of the ridiculous action and sports movies of the '80s: Rad, No Retreat, No Surrender, Best of the Best, No Holds Barred, Bloodsport and the glorious era when movie executives could apparently greenlight anything as long as somebody knew karate.Naturally, Jean-Claude Van Damme doing the splits leads Lern to ask questions about male anatomy that nobody was emotionally prepared to answer. Suddenly we're discussing whether men have a “seam,” whether God is responsible for said seam, and why absolutely none of this information was included in health class.And then Steven Seagal arrives.The crew finds audio of Seagal telling a story about being in Kazakhstan before stopping to ask, “How do you say in English…” despite being born in Lansing, Michigan. What follows is a forensic investigation into Steven Seagal's increasingly mysterious relationship with the English language, fake accents, international travel and whether spending enough time somewhere can legitimately change how you talk.From there, Crap on Celebrities turns surprisingly philosophical when Dr. Dre and Billy Corgan land on opposite sides of the AI music debate. Dre sees artificial intelligence as another creative tool, while Corgan wants absolutely nothing to do with it. Moon breaks down how producers already use loops, samples and pre-built musical elements, leading to a bigger question: where exactly does using technology stop being a tool and start becoming “cheating”?This comedy podcast also gets into Bret Michaels recovering from kidney stone surgery while apparently refusing to surrender his hat under any circumstances, Kacey Musgraves performing while floating on giant disco-ball truck nuts, Dolly Parton exploring avatar performances, Bonnaroo taking a year off, and St. Louis artist Slater covering Hole's “Violet.”Plus, the CW dumps Miss USA and Miss Teen USA, DC apparently decides Gorilla Grodd needs a true-crime mockumentary, National Treasure 3 inches closer to becoming a real movie, and Lern takes everyone on an unsolicited but surprisingly enjoyable Whitesnake journey.Then we wrap things up with celebrity birthdays—including Dave Chappelle, Cal Ripken Jr., Steve Guttenberg and Vince McMahon—before heading toward relationship fun facts and the mysterious 7-7-7 rule.It's GTA rumors, '80s movie nostalgia, celebrity news, music industry arguments, St. Louis chaos and several conversations that should've ended three sentences earlier.In other words: a comedy 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.

The crew kicks things off with the 100-inning softball game supporting the Burton family, where Rafe and Scott discover that 12 straight hours of softball is apparently something human beings willingly participate in. There were legitimate athletes, Chris Kerber brought the stories and good Blues energy, and Team Rizz did what Team Rizz does best: proudly represent athletic mediocrity while somebody else actually knows how to play the sport.Moon, meanwhile, spent his weekend in Los Angeles with Goldfinger for their biggest headlining show ever at the Hollywood Palladium. Between the packed hometown show, backstage chaos and trying to juggle approximately every person he has ever met in Southern California, Moon also wanders into Amoeba Music and suddenly finds himself standing next to Matt Berry. His carefully prepared celebrity interaction consists basically of realizing, “Holy crap, that's Matt Berry,” which honestly is probably better than anything the rest of us would've managed.Delays pile up, passengers get increasingly irritated, everyone lines up to board…and the entire plane waits for one missing flight attendant. When she finally arrives, Moon witnesses a level of leisurely strolling that probably should've been studied by scientists. Hundreds of angry passengers? Connecting flights on the line? Whatever. She had a walking speed and she was committed to it.Rizz heads the opposite direction for a father-son road trip to the University of Arkansas and finally experiences the roadside cathedral known as Buc-ee's. Unfortunately, he discovers that Buc-ee's contains one fatal flaw: other people. Lots and lots of other people. He battles the crowd, buys a Cuban sandwich that immediately disintegrates inside the car and ultimately reaches the devastating conclusion that Buc-ee's is basically a bigger Wally's. Somewhere, a beaver just felt a disturbance in the Force.So yes, this episode has softball, Chesterfield sociology, Goldfinger, Matt Berry, airport rage, Buc-ee's, college nostalgia and weather-induced emotional manipulation.The Grand Theft Auto 6 rumor mill is firing on all cylinders.

Welcome to another comedy podcast where apparently the only thing separating civilization from complete chaos is a zoo fence and a shared Google Calendar. We get into a Florissant case where suspects allegedly rear-ended a Volvo to force the driver to stop, only for the situation to turn into an armed robbery, a fight, a stolen vehicle and multiple police pursuits. Somewhere along the way, the unnamed Volvo driver becomes “Johnny Volvo,” the suspects become the “Jeep Boys,” and this comedy podcast briefly transforms into the least legally sound self-defense seminar ever broadcast.That kicks off a surprisingly thoughtful debate about whether the 777 Rule is realistic, especially when listeners point out that dates, overnight stays and vacations cost money. The crew argues that the exact numbers and activities aren't really the point. Take a walk. Go for a drive. Pack a picnic. Hit a park. Complain together.

This week on Baxie's Musical Podcast I talk with the legendary Jimmy Flemion of The Frogs! In the early 80's Jimmy and his brother Dennis would form a band that became an underground sensation—not just because of the great Indie Pop songs that they spent years trying to perfect but for that they never intended to release! After the release of their first album, the Flemion brothers began making a series of improvised home recordings using a four-track tape recorder. Together they created more than 1,000 songs that were purely meant to amuse themselves. A majority of these songs were made up on the spot. The results were a collection of songs that were often both shocking and hilarious! Eventually however, some of these recordings fell into the hand of the late producer Steve Albini (Big Black) who presented them to Homestead Records. Many of these songs would find their was only to their second album “It's Only Right and Natural”. The album spread quickly throughout the music industry where it caught the attention of the likes of Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins, Beck, and Evan Dando of the Lemonheads. The Frogs also became a favorite of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain---who famously included the album on his list of the Top 50 albums of all time. Next month, their 1996 follow-up “My Daughter the Broad” will be reissued. It's a newly expanded double album that included eight unreleased tracks. At the time of its release, it was considered one of the funniest albums of the decade. But don't kid yourself. The Frogs were incredible songwriters who were capable of making insanely great (but quirky) pop songs as well. Jimmy talks about that, their home recordings, their reputation, their wild live performances, playing Lollapalooza, the accidental drowning death of his brother Dennis in 2012, and about the upcoming documentary that's been in the works for the last ten years! This is an amazing story that's totally worth listening to! Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and in the Rock102 app! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee!

Smashing Pumpkins frontman and NWA President Billy Corgan joins Battle to discuss AI-generated music and why he rejected technology designed to game his songwriting. Corgan also explains why wrestling’s best days are ahead and how booking an NWA show compares to building a concert setlist.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I wanted to talk this week about Billy Corgan’s outrageous shapeshifting claim and how it relates to who he is as a musician, but the Internet had other plans. It was all about to go to sh*t until Low Cut Connie saved us all on national television.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is the story about how a drug-related death led to the fracturing of the ‘90s alt-rock giants, how competing narratives amongst band members complicated their legacy, and what Billy Corgan’s strange interaction with a shapeshifter has to do with it all.

Tony Iommi reveals he asked Geezer Butler to play bass on his new solo album From The Dark (out October 23 via BMG) — and why Geezer couldn't do it. Plus, Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee opens up to Billy Corgan about the "hurtful" legal battle with Mick Mars, and what really happened onstage during the 2022 Stadium Tour. And Cinderella drummer Fred Coury tells Eddie Trunk that he and Eric Brittingham are ready to reunite the band — they're just waiting on Tom Keifer.

Even the Good Girls Will Cry: A '90s Rock Memoir presents an intimate look behind the scenes of an iconic era through the ever-reflective lens of musician Melissa Auf der Maur. In this debut memoir, Auf der Maur chronicles her journey through alternative music — from staffing ticket windows at local venues to navigating era-defining triumphs and turmoil under global spotlights. A bohemian upbringing in Montreal and an early connection to music led her to put down roots in the local scene, working as a cassette DJ and showing up for bands like Nirvana, Jane's Addiction, Pavement, and Sonic Youth. A serendipitous sequence sets the stage for the next big step — a thrown beer bottle at a show, a long-shot fan letter to a PO Box, and before you know it Auf der Maur's band Tinker is opening for The Smashing Pumpkins and Billy Corgan is passing along a personal recommendation to Courtney Love. In a whirlwind of life-changing moments, Auf der Maur joins Hole for their 1994 Live Through This world tour just after the deaths of Kurt Cobain and Hole's previous bassist Kristen Pfaff. Auf der Maur is swiftly flung into the eye of a hurricane, becoming part of a band plowing through grief by way of art on a brutally global stage. Auf der Maur offers a backstage view to the raw reality of this tour, her relationship with Courtney Love in the wake of tragedy, and what kept Hole from spinning out of control. And the show goes on from there – messy and unwieldy, but bringing compassionate nuance to the nostalgia of the '90s alternative era and Auf der Maur's personal journey to the other side of it. Part rock memoir, part travel diary, part psychedelic scrapbook – Even the Good Girls Will Cry stacks rockstar stories of the last analog decade alongside the intensely intimate musings of an artist who lived through the chaos. Melissa Auf der Maur is an artist, producer, and musician known for her time as the bassist of the bands Hole and The Smashing Pumpkins. She is the co-founder and director of Basilica Hudson, a nonprofit multidisciplinary art center known for music festivals, film screenings, artist-in-residence programs, and community involvement. Her other projects include the solo albums Auf der Maur and Out of Our Minds, as well as photography collections shown by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and featured in publications including Spin, Elle, and Nylon. Gillian G. Gaar is an award-winning journalist and author of over 20 books. She was a senior editor at the legendary Northwest music publication The Rocket for fourteen years. She served as project consultant on Nirvana's 4 box set With the Lights Out and as editorial assistant on Krist Novoselic's memoir Of Grunge and Government: Let's Fix This Broken Democracy! Her books include She's a Rebel: The History of Women in Rock & Roll, Entertain Us: The Rise of Nirvana, Return of the King: Elvis Presley's Great Comeback, and World Domination: The Sub Pop Records Story.  Buy the Book Even the Good Girls Will Cry: A '90s Rock Memoir Third Place Books

Send us Fan Mail I'm taking you inside the biggest Bravo scandal of the summer: Jax Taylor and publicist Lori Krebs — and trust me, this story is far more complicated than TMZ is telling you, because I've got audio receipts going back to February 2024, including who was secretly blocking women from Brittany Cartwright's Instagram, a devastating letter from a woman whose career and family were destroyed after one of Jax's paid appearances in Toronto, Lori's full backstory from Lindsay Lohan to Bachelor Nation, the marriage nobody's talking about, the Boca Raton sighting that shreds the "no overlap" claim, the infinity pool photos that got her fired, what Lala Kent just called them both on her podcast, and why The Valley picked cameras back up for Season 3. Then I'm spilling exclusive Real Housewives of Rhode Island casting tea — including a Made in Chelsea star whose husband Inigo Philbrick committed one of the largest art frauds in American history, how the FBI chased him across the world to a tiny Pacific island, and the $86 million that's still missing — plus a second new Housewife and a surprise name spotted filming. In RHONJ land, Luis Ruelas posts a very strange Instagram video right after my live with Kim D, I've got tea on the finale switch-up that spells trouble for Dolores Catania and a big win for Teresa Giudice and Gia Giudice, and Margaret Josephs lands a major new full-time role. I wrap with Brandi Glanville joining Special Forces alongside Mauricio Umansky and Alexia Umansky despite their messy RHOBH history, and the strangest segment I've done in a while: Robbie Williams, Billy Corgan, Tila Tequila, and a Jeffrey Epstein victim all describing the exact same terrifying "shapeshifter" encounter — what is going on here?

What happens when The Rizzuto Show tries to remember everything that's happened so far this year? Absolute chaos.The crew attempts a halfway-through-the-year quiz, and let's just say... history, sports, movies, award shows, and basically every major headline take a beating. Somehow everyone becomes confidently wrong while still arguing like they're experts, which is pretty much the perfect recipe for a daily comedy episode.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where Jay-Z shatters Yankee Stadium records with an unbelievable three-night concert event featuring an all-star lineup that somehow keeps getting bigger. Billy Corgan pitches a dream Smashing Pumpkins Sphere residency, The Rock refuses to give up on his Broadway dreams with Kevin Hart, and Hollywood keeps rebooting everything whether we asked for it or not.The gang also dives into blockbuster movie rumors, Batman casting speculation, Hunger Games returning to theaters, Michael Jackson's record-breaking biopic, American Horror Story returning to its witchy roots, and why Love Island somehow managed to hijack everyone's television.

Donny Fandango set out with one goal: raise $53,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities...and then proceeded to absolutely crush it. The crew recaps the incredible Radiothon, the huge donations, the emotional moments, and—because this is The Rizzuto Show—the bizarre auction prizes everyone agreed to while Rizz was unconscious after wisdom tooth surgery.Speaking of surgery, Rizz shares the surprisingly abrupt experience of getting knocked out for his wisdom tooth extraction. No dramatic countdown. No floating through space. Just "What are your hobbies?" and instant blackout. The gang compares anesthesia stories, post-surgery meals, and why hydrocodone apparently turns Rizz into a man convinced invisible bugs are crawling on him.Lern makes her very first Facebook Marketplace purchase. What should have been a simple $35 weight bench somehow becomes an FBI-level covert operation involving porch pickups, Venmo timing, getaway driving, and apologizing to Ring doorbells.The crew debates Korean BBQ versus Brazilian steakhouses, discusses the strategy of "beating the house" at all-you-can-eat restaurants, admits to suffering from the legendary meat sweats, and somehow turns dipping sauces into a competitive sport.As if things weren't chaotic enough, Yellowstone provides one of the wildest viral videos of the week when an agitated bison launches a grandfather several feet into the air after a campsite encounter. The crew breaks down exactly what happened, why wildlife deserves way more personal space than tourists seem willing to give it, and why surviving a bison toss wasn't even the only animal-related headline making newsDanny McBride is writing a brand-new G.I. Joe movie. That's enough to send every child of the '80s and '90s into a nostalgic spiral, so naturally the gang spends way too much time debating what made the original cartoons great, why the previous movies never quite landed, and whether nostalgia is actually making a comeback or if we're all just getting old.Chef Liz from Tenacious Eats rolls into the studio with a full Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed dinner preview... and an actual Michelangelo joins the show. Suddenly we're talking Jim Henson costumes, pizza, arcade cabinets, Foot Clan hideouts, movie trivia, and enough food to make every listener immediately hungry.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where Jay-Z shatters Yankee Stadium records with an unbelievable three-night concert event featuring an all-star lineup that somehow keeps getting bigger. Billy Corgan pitches a dream Smashing Pumpkins Sphere residency, The Rock refuses to give up on his Broadway dreams with Kevin Hart, and Hollywood keeps rebooting everything whether we asked for it or not.The gang also dives into blockbuster movie rumors, Batman casting speculation, Hunger Games returning to theaters, Michael Jackson's record-breaking biopic, American Horror Story returning to its witchy roots, and why Love Island somehow managed to hijack everyone's television.

Is the mainstream rock shortage a corporate hit job? This week on The Heavy Metal Hangover, Rex and Duff are dissecting Billy Corgan's recent statement that rock music was intentionally and purposefully scrubbed from popular culture by the industry powers-that-be. We look at the validity of his claims, debate whether rock was pushed or if it simply walked away, and ask what it means for the future of guitar-driven music. But if the industry is trying to kill rock, the snobs aren't helping! We close out the show with a lighthearted look at the absolute absurdity of music elitism, using the classic movie High Fidelity as our guide. We laugh at our own inner "Championship Vinyl" clerks, poke fun at the gatekeepers who refuse to let people just enjoy a catchy tune, and remind everyone that at the end of the day, music is supposed to be fun.

Get ready to meet Carleigh Ferrante, a 30-something year old skeleton who gives out dating advice to people who apparently have no common sense, no self-esteem, and no dignity. She teaches losers how to flirt, what types of dates to go on, and even how to text. Finally, someone who can teach me how to text! Can there be some astrology mixed in? You betcha!! Lucy Tightbox joins the show to watch a fake interview with Billy Corgan on legendary LA radio station KROQ. Stuttering John gets cockblocked on Stephanie Miller's show by the guest's mom. But that doesn't stop him from asking embarrassing questions and using his children for LGBTQ clout. Opie had an amazing stream on Thursday morning that started with his depression over losing his only friend, then admitting to going back to therapy, and then addressing our show talking about him having a falling out with Matt at Gebhard's. He also brings on a special guest who is supposedly a longtime friend but really she's someone he definitely does not care about. We finish with Net News and your voicemails.

FOLLOW UP: This week, it seems America believes every complicated social problem can be fixed by asking, “Have you tried turning the internet off for the children?” Meanwhile, the Electronic Frontier Foundation quietly notes that the science behind social media bans might not be as clear-cut as cable-news dads screaming about dopamine loops claim. Turns out, teen anxiety may also be linked to pandemics, school shootings, climate dread, and an economy that feels like a Fallout side quest. Meanwhile, Snap Inc. and YouTube settled another lawsuit accusing their apps of turning kids into doomscrolling goblins, Meta continues to insist social media addiction isn't real while losing money in court, and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed at a graduation speech after telling graduates to hop on the AI rocket ship without asking questions — exactly what a billionaire says when he already owns the rocket.In the news, Elon Musk lost another OpenAI lawsuit because apparently even juries have limits. SpaceX's IPO revealed Musk plans to power AI with enough gas turbines to recreate 1890s London smog, and Grok officially became a disclosure liability after the whole “MechaHitler” incident. Tesla robotaxis still clip fences and occasionally require humans to remotely drive the “self-driving” cars. Trump Mobile somehow shipped a gold phone that actually works — a stunning upset — before immediately leaking customer data. LinkedIn finally admitted the platform has become an AI-generated motivational swamp filled with “it's not about X, it's about Y” sludge from people named Brayden. Spotify is handing out podcast verification badges so listeners can tell real creators from algorithmic nightmare fuel. Meta laid off thousands more workers while reportedly using employee surveillance to train AI replacements. And OpenAI is giving everyone in Malta a free year of ChatGPT Plus if they complete an AI literacy course, which honestly makes Malta sound more technologically responsible than Silicon Valley.APPS & DOODADS reflect classic Gen-X paranoia, as Backblaze highlights California's constant threat of wildfires and the idea that local backups are optimistic. YouTube introduced AI deepfake detection tools, allowing creators to finally see which scam ads are using their faces to promote crypto vitamins, while X limited free users to 50 posts a day unless they pay for a blue check — proving once again that the true free speech was the subscriptions we sold along the way. Retrocodex arrived with a strong “everything your teachers confidently told you in 1987 was wrong” vibe.MEDIA CANDY opens with the eternal cry of “FUCK THE FIRETV!!!!” before Jason taps out of Good Omens after ten minutes while Brian takes the bullet for the audience. There's also chatter about Mortal Kombat 2, The Devil Wears Prada 2, Billy Corgan talking goth history with David J, and more existential dread courtesy of Dan Carlin's Common Sense.THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE welcomes back Dave Bittner for a Mando & Grogu review, Darth Maul, and a stunning but absurdly expensive LEGO Disneyland set. There's also a guy who built a full-size Millennium Falcon “with his wife's permission,” a fan-made Star Tours film, and the Federal Trade Commission discovering that those creepy “your phone is listening to you” ad-tech companies mainly just had PowerPoint decks and confidence. Also: mechanical keyboard simulators now exist, because apparently even fake typing has become a lifestyle brand.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Shopify - Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at Shopify.com/grumpyPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

What's this? An interview? Why yes, it's a proper interview. How unusual for this RAWcast! Lou and Adelle have the pleasure of chatting with Melissa Auf der Maur about her new 90's rock memoir "Even the Good Girls Will Cry". As a tribute to this analog Queen, Lou does a cassette enhanced re-creation of a pivotal passage from the book: a fight between her friend Bruce (later of Godspeed You Black Emperor) and her 'grungefather' Billy Corgan.

Today was a revolving door of guests, and there was something for everybody. For Smashing Pumpkins fans, Billy Corgan joined the show to reveal the details of their newly announced Rats In A Cage tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. He weighed in on whether or not the Pumpkins would ever do a residency at the Sphere in Vegas & whether or not they'd win in a wrestling match against the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Ally's hot cousin also joined the show to go through all the sexy outfits she has planned for their upcoming weekend in Vegas. 'Coco' is a hairstylist who met her equally hot husband in Vegas and already got invited to the biggest party of the weekend: A pool party with John Summit. When Ally asked about which 'full butted swimsuit' she should wear we knew who got the good genes in the family. Ben Gleib, comedian and host of the Idiot Test stopped by the studio to talk about his new ground-breaking Late Night Show "Good Night with Ben Gleib" premiering on YouTube May 28th. He joined us for a round of Am I An Idiot? where we heard stories of lighting eyebrows on fire and a woman who got in a fight with her own reflection in the mirror.

Next, masked alternative metal icons Sleep Token continue their absolute domination of the US charts, securing a spectacular trio of new RIAA Gold certifications for 'Even In Arcadia.'

Justin reflects on a recent interview with Diplo about AI replacing singers and uses it as a doorway into a deeper conversation about art, product, beauty, and human value. He argues that art is not valuable because it sells or because it reaches technical perfection. Art matters because it comes from a human being in process. Drawing on examples from Diplo's collaborations, Billy Corgan's resistance to AI songwriting, CS Lewis on beauty, and Justin's own work coaching artists, this episode invites creators to resist the machine's value system and remember that the work is not the point. The human becoming through the work is.

Episode 200 of The Rizzuto Show — a funny podcast that probably should've been canceled by now — delivers exactly what you'd expect: absolute chaos, questionable decisions, and just enough structure to keep the FCC mildly interested.Things kick off with a surprise intro from Billy Corgan, who casually drops in like it's no big deal and immediately reminds everyone that Riz is somehow celebrating another birthday without aging. Totally normal. From there, the show spirals into its natural habitat: organized nonsense.We bring up a local event featuring Maynard James Keenan and his wine empire (because yes, rock stars now double as sommeliers), and before you know it, we're talking about wine tastings, concerts, and how this all somehow connects back to the show.But the real centerpiece? Scott's birthday. And let's just say… the gifts were thoughtful in the same way a prank is “thoughtful.” A mix of heartfelt, confusing, and borderline suspicious items gets opened live on-air, leading to reactions that range from appreciation to “what exactly am I holding right now?” It's the kind of moment that defines a funny podcast — unpredictable, slightly inappropriate, but undeniably hilarious.Of course, we hit “Crap on Celebrities,” where we break down everything from upcoming music documentaries to bizarre celebrity rankings that make absolutely no sense. There's also a deep dive into outlaw country legend David Allan Coe, complete with stories that feel too wild to be real (but somehow are). Add in pop culture debates, nostalgia tangents, and one of the most questionable “best vocalists” lists ever created, and you've got yourself a full episode of beautifully controlled chaos.This funny podcast is everything The Rizzuto Show does best: real conversations, ridiculous moments, and a group of people who probably shouldn't be left unsupervised this early in the morning.And somehow… we made it to 200.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/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.

Today's guest is the architect of alternative rock who sold 30 million albums and defined the sound of an entire generation — but whose real story begins after the hits stopped mattering to him.From the suburbs of Chicago to the apex of 90s mainstream success, Billy Corgan built an empire. Then he spent the last 20 years quietly dismantling the idea that commercial success is the same thing as real value. He carries three things simultaneously that most artists never figure out how to hold at once: the ambition of someone who was never going to settle for the midwest, the technical genius of a classically-trained musician who produces every layer of his own work, and the philosophical rigor of someone willing to completely reimagine what success actually means.This is one of the more unflinching conversations about what staying relevant actually costs — not the version that gets posted on socials, the version that gets lived in the real decisions you make about art, money, independence, and how you want to spend your time. When the gatekeepers are gone and nobody's controlling the narrative anymore, who do you become?And The Writer Is... Billy Corgan!In this episode of And The Writer Is, we go deep on:• The trap of being defined by your greatest hits — and why he refuses it• His father's failed music career, and the moment his dad finally understood• Chicago's inward-facing indie scene and the cost of communities that don't believe in themselves• How the value of artists gets assessed in rooms — and why that's broken• What "influence" actually means vs. commercial success• The gatekeepers are gone — what that really means for independent artists• Owning 100% of your publishing and why that changes everything• Building a new world where direct artist support is how things actually work• Why legacy thinking is changing, and what comes nextAnd much more...Hit subscribe and turn on notifications.

Welcome back to your favorite daily comedy show, where absolutely nothing stays on topic and somehow everything still works.Today's chaos kicks off with a brand-new listener game: Two Truths and a Lie. The twist? You call in. You try to fool us. And if you trick the majority of the studio, you win tickets. Simple. Clean. Probably not. Because the Rizz Show crew immediately proves we are wildly overconfident in our lie-detecting abilities. Shocking.From there, things take a hard left into movie talk — including whether The Substance is a safe airplane watch (spoiler: absolutely not unless you enjoy strangers thinking you're watching something wildly inappropriate). Then we spiral into HBO's DTF St. Louis and whether the show actually understands St. Louis… or just Googled “Arch” and called it a day. Why does every character say “St. Louis” like they're being paid per mention? And why does every window apparently have a perfect Arch view? We investigate. Loudly.In Crap on Celebrities, we unpack:Christina Applegate ditching Brad Pitt for Sebastian Bach (imagine that car ride home).Jim Carrey's new face and the internet screaming “clone conspiracy.”Billy Idol kicking heroin by switching to crack (which is… a strategy?).Billy Corgan's theory that rock music was intentionally dialed down by shadowy forces.Why country music is suddenly dominating everything.Ozzfest's return.Squid Game's “celebrity” edition (and we use the term loosely).Basically, this daily comedy show covers celebrity news, pop culture commentary, music chaos, and weird news with the exact level of sarcasm you'd expect from grown adults arguing about recumbent bikes.And because we're nothing if not competitive, we end with listener showdowns in Two Truths and a Lie — proving once again that our audience is either wildly fascinating… or disturbingly good at lying.It's another beautifully unhinged daily comedy show from Rizz and the gang — serving up funny stories, entertainment gossip, St. Louis flavor, and just enough nonsense to make your commute slightly less painful.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.
