The Book It! Boys puts a wrestling spin on Deal or No Deal by creating brand-new fantasy factions and throwing them into a tournament to crown the ultimate supergroup.Using the luck of the draw, factions are assembled with wrestlers from different eras, styles, and promotions before battling through a bracket to determine who stands above the rest.Which faction was built best? Which team has the strongest chemistry? And who survives to become the last faction standing?

There are certain topics guaranteed to derail grown adults immediately: politics, religion, and apparently whether Pizza Hut still slaps in 2026. This episode of The Rizzuto Show starts innocent enough with a conversation about America's favorite pizza chains… and within minutes everybody's emotionally compromised.Moon absolutely refuses to accept Pizza Hut being ranked America's favorite chain and proceeds to roast it harder than a forgotten breadstick under a heat lamp. Meanwhile, Rafe becomes the self-appointed defender of nostalgic pizza culture, Lern starts reliving childhood Book It memories like a pizza-powered Vietnam flashback, and Scott somehow acts shocked that Pizza Hut locations still exist despite apparently driving past several every day.And honestly? That's only the beginning.Chris Kerber joins the show and immediately brings the energy into full sports chaos territory as the crew dives into the viral “Tarps Off” trend taking over Cardinals games. Suddenly the conversation becomes a deeply serious investigation into whether hockey or baseball invented the phrase “tarps off,” which leads Moon to launch an emergency Google investigation live on-air because he physically cannot let an argument go unresolved. The man treats casual sports debates like FBI evidence reviews.The crew also gets into:The bizarre emotional hold Pizza Hut has on MillennialsWhy retro restaurants are suddenly everywhere againThe terrifying true story behind Avoid The NoidHockey playoff madnessWhy Little Caesars somehow survives every eraShirtless sports celebrations becoming mainstreamOscar Wilde looking suspiciously like RafeWhy nostalgia marketing works even when the food absolutely destroys your stomachThere's also a genuinely fascinating breakdown from Chris Kerber about why nostalgia works in business, how brands lose their identity trying to “modernize,” and why people still crave familiar experiences in a world where ordering a pizza somehow requires seventeen passwords and a blood oath now.This episode is peak Rizz Show energy: loud opinions, dumb arguments, sports chaos, food nostalgia, and multiple moments where everyone realizes they've somehow spent 20 straight minutes passionately debating chain pizza like culinary experts.If you love a funny morning show packed with sarcastic humor, weird tangents, pop culture commentary, sports nonsense, and absolutely unnecessary debates about pizza quality, this episode delivers exactly the kind of daily chaos you expect from your favorite St. Louis idiots.Whether you're here for the hockey talk, the food nostalgia, the celebrity references, or just to hear Moon slowly unravel over Pizza Hut rankings, this daily comedy show has you covered.And yes… after this episode you're probably going to want pizza. We're not apologizing for that.This comedy podcast is part sports show, part nostalgia spiral, and part emotional support group for former Book It kids. The comedy podcast equivalent of eating gas station pizza at 1AM and convincing yourself it was a good decision. Truly elite broadcasting.Thanks for listening to another episode of The Rizzuto Show — the comedy podcast proudly keeping St. Louis weird one pizza argument at a time.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pizza Hut is back, baby. Or at least that's what this episode's aggressively passionate pizza debate would have you believe. The gang dives headfirst into America's favorite pizza chains and things immediately go off the rails when Pizza Hut somehow lands at number one. Suddenly everyone becomes a food critic, nostalgia expert, and marketing strategist all at once. Rafe is out here defending the honor of the Hut like he's on the payroll, Moon is declaring war on nostalgia culture entirely, and Scott refuses to believe anyone actually eats Pizza Hut voluntarily. It's the exact kind of chaos you expect from a comedy podcast where absolutely nobody stays on topic for more than 45 seconds.But that's only the beginning. The crew tumbles into an entire conversation about retro Pizza Hut locations returning with the classic red roofs, Tiffany-style lamps, red plastic cups, Book It rewards, buffet memories, and enough emotional damage to keep millennials talking for another decade. Somehow this evolves into a full-blown sociology lecture about why people crave familiar things while the world feels insane. A daily podcast has never spent this much time discussing buffet pizza architecture, and yet here we are.Then things get wonderfully suburban. The gang swaps stories about growing up with taped-up wiffle ball bats, playing sports in the street until someone yelled “CAR!”, and fishing sewer-soaked tennis balls out of drains because nobody could afford to lose one. Riz realizes his son doesn't even know what a wiffle ball bat is, which immediately launches the entire room into a collective identity crisis about modern childhood. There are stories about homemade rules, neighborhood rivalries, taped handles, chalk hockey goals, and all the weird little things that made growing up in the 80s and 90s feel legendary. It's weirdly wholesome for a comedy podcast filled with sarcastic degenerates.Elsewhere in the episode: rainy day complaints, travel chatter, neighborhood stories, online roasting from family members, and enough random tangents to completely derail any attempt at structure. There's also celebrity chaos sprinkled throughout the show including stories about Macho Man Randy Savage, Peter Cetera getting punched over his hair, old-school music nostalgia, and a discussion that somehow turns into imagining Chicago songs soundtracking deeply uncomfortable family road trips. Normal morning radio stuff, obviously.This episode is basically what happens when a bunch of adults realize they're emotionally attached to chain pizza restaurants and childhood street games. It's messy, sarcastic, loud, nostalgic, and exactly why this daily podcast continues to feel like hanging out with your funniest friends at a bar that definitely smells faintly like ranch dressing.If you love weird news, sarcastic humor, St. Louis chaos, pop culture nonsense, hilarious fails, celebrity gossip, and wildly unnecessary arguments about pizza quality, welcome home.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1349: Today we talk about Mitsubishi cutting weak dealers while betting on a product comeback, the growing FTC pressure pushing vendors toward all-in pricing transparency, and Pizza Hut discovering the hottest new trend in retail… 1990s nostalgia complete with red cups and Pac-Man.Mitsubishi is shrinking its dealer network while promising a future product comeback. The brand has cut underperforming stores, frustrated some retailers with low profits and aging products, but says a new EV and refreshed lineup could turn things around.Mitsubishi's U.S. dealer count has dropped 16% since 2019, falling from 355 stores to just under 300 today.CEO Mark Chaffin says the strategy is “quality over quantity,” replacing low-volume stores with higher-performing operators expected to sell 3-5x more vehicles.Dealers say profits are razor thin, with many relying on used cars to stay afloat while struggling with an aging lineup and heavy fleet sales.Mitsubishi is betting on its “Momentum 2030” plan, including a new electric crossover this fall and several electrified models through 2030.One frustrated dealer summed it up bluntly: “Eventually Mitsubishi may get there with the new product, but it's going to have to commit more to the U.S. if it wants to do well here.”As regulators tighten the screws on vehicle pricing transparency, vendors are racing to help dealers stay compliant. S&P Global Mobility and TrueCar both rolled out new tools designed to simplify fee disclosures, standardize pricing, and avoid FTC headaches before they become lawsuits.S&P Global Mobility launched “FeeSync,” a free industrywide tool that lets dealers update fees across vendors and marketplaces from one central hub.The push comes as the FTC continues sending warning letters to nearly 100 dealer groups over pricing and advertising practices.TrueCar updated its platform to display all-in pricing upfront, including dealer fees and add-ons, with expandable disclosures for shoppers.TrueCar CEO Scott Painter said the platform's goal is “a transactional price that is good for both the dealer and the car buyer upfront, without negotiation.”Pizza Hut is leaning hard into retro vibes, remodeling stores to look like peak-1990s dine-in restaurants complete with Pac-Man, stained-glass lamps, and those iconic red cups. Turns out millennials will absolutely drive three hours for a little childhood comfort food.Since 2019, Pizza Hut has converted 144 locations into “Pizza Hut Classics” with throwback décor and dine-in experiences.Some remodeled stores are now top performers, with customers traveling long distances just to relive the experience.The nostalgia push comes as Pizza Hut closes underperforming locations while rival Domino's continues expanding aggressively.Pizza Hut is also reviving its legendary “BOOK IT!” reading program, rewarding kids with pizza for summer reading goals.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast  as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

What should you look for in a board game? Let’s look at five elements of games to help you choose. 0:00:00 Fact for 421 The game that is ID 421 on Board Game Geek happens to be pretty well-known among boardgamers.

You express mixed feelings on the #backtalk channel of the Discord. And we found out Book-It is still around, and you can still get a Pizza Hut personal pan pizza! 0:33:00 What to look for in a game? This is a topic that’s subjective and intensely personal. When you’re looking for your own family, looking for a gift, or simply browsing the shelves at a boardgame store, there are a few aspects you should consider. Keep in mind: who is going to play this game? 1. Duration How long is this game supposed to last? How long is it going to take the first time you play? (Are you prepared to learn the game and teach it before presenting it to your family?) We think that for gamer families, aim for 90 minutes or less. 60 minutes is probably better. (One shot games are an exception.) For non-gamers, shorter is better! Aim for 45 minutes or less. Maybe an hour if no kids in the mix. 2. Theme Heavily thematic games can be a great choice! They’re not the only thing to consider, but it’s still important. 3. Game Type / Mechanics There are certain mechanics that are simpler for non-gamers to understand. Things like worker placement and action selection are generally more challenging, and can get very complicated when they’re done in innovative ways. (This is a big part of why we do the Room to Grow series!) This also includes whether a game is co-operative or competitive. (Some can work both ways.) 4. Chance?! A lot of people don’t like much luck in their games, and others hate games that have no luck. We recommend going for luck-heavy games when you have a wide age range playing together. Having more chance evens out the gap in skills that usually exists between children and adults. 5. Player Count Seems obvious. But it’s related to season of life, too. Our family of five used to play lots of games together with the whole group (see episode 120 and episode 220), but with multiple teenagers doing all kinds of activities, we rarely play with more than two players anymore. Appendix: How Does This Game Fit? Does this game fit in your collection? Does it fill a gap of something you don’t already have? Or maybe you have too many of this type of game already… 0:52:20 New Backtalk Question We lean into the point made about considering the collection. What is the game type you are most tempted to buy?

Hour 4 centers on White House messaging with Kush Desai outlining economic indicators, jobless claims data, interest rate policy disputes, and a federal retirement savings initiative, while also covering Supreme Court Voting Rights Act fallout and its redistricting implications.

Hour 3 opens with May Day protests in St. Louis tied to socialist and labor activism, including criticism of Cory Bush's rally and broader political messaging around work stoppages and union-driven demonstrations, alongside commentary on cultural and workplace trends reflected in corporate messaging like Starbucks. The hour then shifts to national security, featuring Pete Hegseth's Senate clash over military priorities and a broader discussion of rising tensions in Iran. Missouri-focused segments highlight proposed legislation to raise highway speed limits to 75 mph and potentially reduce vehicle inspection requirements, alongside alarming road rage incidents and local public safety concerns. The show also features business and consumer updates with Nicole Murray, including market trends and surging gas prices. A national security interview with Steve Bucci explores potential U.S. military options against Iran, targeting IRGC capabilities and strategic pressure points in the Strait of Hormuz, along with Ukraine war dynamics. The hour closes with a deep dive into Missouri's literacy crisis, where fourth-grade reading proficiency remains critically low, prompting discussion of school accountability and a revival of Pizza Hut's “Book It” program to encourage childhood reading.

Types of gamification (from GoCadmium “Gamification in Learning 2026”): Achievement-based (leaderboards, badges, status levels) Social gamification (team-building exercises, collaboration to achieve a goal, peer recognition) Progress-based (things to “unlock” – skill trees, extra content, etc.) Rewards-based (incentives, either virtual or real-world: discounts, prizes, etc.) Gamification examples we thought about: Hotel/airline gold/platinum status Merit badges (but not military honors) Book-It is obviously rewards-based gamification! Store loyalty programs. Everything from simple “collect 10 stamps, get a free coffee” to the more sophisticated programs with big national chains that give incentives or unlock special offers by getting to a different “level”. These can push you to buy just a little bit more or more often than you would otherwise. (Supermarkets, Kohl’s Cash, CVS Extrabucks, etc.) Fitness apps often use multiple kinds of achievement-based gamification, to hook different kinds of people. Leaderboards, badges, and “personal best” tracking. They may include rewards or social collaboration as well. (We discuss Apple Fitness, Peloton. Company fitness challenges often are rewards-based.) Duolingo also uses achievements (streak-tracking!), while having obvious progress-based elements as well. Lose It! rewards you for “streaks” as well – including simply tracking your calories every day, even if you don’t meet your other goals! We think good gamification gives you a framework to work on your goals as well as the incentives to improve. What does this mean for our families & our kids? We think of two meta-examples. The 5×5 challenge (picking 5 games to play at least 5 times). Also the balancing B-mods and “leveling up” from Board Games For All Ages. Can we bring elements we like in board gaming to other behaviors we want to encourage? Gamification can be GOOD when it helps shore up existing motivation. But it’s not good when it is (a) the only motivation or (b) encouraging unintended behavior. Be wary of using gamification to substitute for real motivation! We describe using “chore cards” as a type of gamification. Kids removed the cards when done, kind of like an achievement system in reverse (having an empty line was the goal) – and it “unlocked” their screen time for the day. I feel like learning to read should naturally feel progress-based. As you improve, you get more opportunities to read what you want! Some schools make it too achievement-ish if they focus on “reading levels” rather than the fun of reading. Don’t be tempted to gamify everything and turn it into too much pressure on your kids! We’ve seen this in sports, academic achievement (GPA/grades), and other competitions. It’s okay not to be the best at everything! We share our experience with Marvel Puzzle Quest, which was a little too good at motivating us to play. 1:06:00 New Backtalk Question Have you ever gamified anything at home that would otherwise just normally be a part of life? Maybe it’s to help you be motivated, or maybe it’s for your kids? Chores, fitness, something else entirely? Tell us on the #backtalk channel on our Discord, or in our Facebook community.

What if I told you that the most powerful way to read the Passover Haggadah... is to write your own? In this episode of Madlik, we explore a radical idea born on Israel's early kibbutzim in the 1920s and 30s: that Judaism isn't just inherited—it's authored. We're joined by Eran Yarkoni and Anton Marks of the Shittim Institute, who are traveling the U.S. with their exhibition Haggadah of Hope.   Key Takeaways   1. The Haggadah Isn't a Book—It's a Framework The kibbutzim didn't treat the Haggadah as sacred text to preserve, but as a structure to fill. They understood something we often forget: the power of the Seder comes not from repeating the words—but from making them speak to your moment. 2. "Bechol Dor Vador" Is a Command to Create We've been taught to relive the Exodus. The kibbutzim took it one step further: we are obligated to rewrite it. Every generation doesn't just inherit the story—it adds a chapter. 3. Ritual Isn't Escapism—It's How We Process Reality From pioneers in the 1930s to displaced families after October 7, the Seder became a place to confront the present, not escape it. By writing their pain, loss, and hope into the Haggadah, these communities show that ritual, at its best, is not about the past—it's about making meaning in real time.   Timestamps   [00:00] Kibbutz Haggadah Reimagined [01:24] Meet the Shitim Institute [04:07] Haggadah of Hope Tour [07:09] Inside the Kibbutz Archive [10:44] Haggadah as a Living Story [13:23] After October 7 Texts [15:01] Sponsor Break [16:08] Return Home in the Fourth Cup [23:26] Ma Nishtana Then and Now [28:23] US Reactions and Roadshow [30:16] Wrap Up and Passover Wishes   Links & Learnings   Sign up for free and get more from our weekly newsletter https://madlik.com/ Sefaria Source Sheet: https://voices.sefaria.org/sheets/715964 Transcript here: https://madlik.substack.com/ To donate to Shitim Institute: https://pefisrael.org/charity/machon-shittim/

Join Traci and Emily Erstad, author of It's Not That Deep, regional operations strategist, executive director in hospice, and soulful leadership coach, as they explore how to break free from the mental loops that keep us stuck—and still lead with heart.Spoiler alert: Being a deep thinker and deep feeler is a gift, but staying there indefinitely is the problem.Emily unpacks why so many high-achieving leaders and HR professionals get trapped in what she calls the "doom loop"—where perfectionism, overthinking, and taking ourselves too seriously becomes the very thing that blocks our progress. You'll discover how to leverage emotional intelligence without letting it become an excuse for avoiding accountability, and why boundaries and vulnerability aren't opposites—they're both essential to building trust.What We Cover:– The doom loop that keeps deep thinkers trapped in unproductive cycles– Perfectionism as a self-diminisher and team drainer– Trauma dumping versus authentically sharing hard things– Why "triggered" has replaced actual disagreement and conversation– Setting boundaries without sacrificing your authenticity or kindness– The difference between over-empathy and strategic compassion in leadership– Culture is about knowing your team's limits, not pizza parties– Using vulnerability strategically to build trust and transparency– The next frontier in leadership: moving beyond "emotions are valid" to action– Observation and reflection as the antidote to reactive leadershipKey Quote: "You are important, but you're not that important. You're adding a lot of responsibility to yourself that's so unnecessary, and it's just going to drive you nuts. And you being driven nuts is not productive." – Emily ErstadConnect with Emily Erstad:Website: https://eepublications.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsnotthatdeep_author/LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-erstad-m-a-ccc-slp-381346135/Book: It's Not That Deep  Connect with Traci here:https://linktr.ee/HRTraciDisclaimer: Thoughts, opinions, and statements made on this podcast are not a reflection of the thoughts, opinions, and statements of the Company by whom Traci Chernoff is actively employed.Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products or services.

Meat nerds, assemble. Evan and Tyler sit down with Dr. Phil Bass—associate professor of Meat Science at the University of Idaho, meat cutter since childhood, and all-around legend—to geek out on what actually makes beef great. Fresh off judging the American Wagyu Association's “Best Steak in America” competition together, we dive into BMS scoring (yes, those 14s and 15s), why the USDA grade tops out too early for Wagyu, and what “quality” really means across tenderness, flavor, and juiciness.We get into grass-finished vs. grain-finished (and why consistency matters), the truth about antibiotics and labels, how to shop smarter at the butcher counter, and why the future likely belongs to Wagyu crossbreeding. Plus: the magic of dry-aging, the umami bomb that is koji, myth-busting on Wagyu fat (hello oleic acid), and quick detours into Piedmontese, flat iron “meat jelly,” and why ribeye off the 5th rib slaps.In this episode:Judging ultra-marbled Wagyu & reading the Japanese BMS 1–12USDA vs. AUS vs. JPN grading—should there be one global standard?Grass vs. grain: flavor, texture, and reliabilityDry-aging, koji rubs, and regional mold “terroir”Labels, antibiotics, and how to actually talk to your butcherThe next decade of Wagyu (hello, F1 crosses)Dr. Bass's pod: meatspad.com • Book: It's Not a Cow (available on Amazon)Hit play, get smarter, then go eat something worthy.

WARNING: This episode contains mature content related to pornography and may not be suitable for all listeners.How do we begin having the difficult conversations around sexuality and pornography with our children? How can we teach our kids about sexual integrity in a way that fosters honesty and wholeness—without instilling shame?For Greta Eskridge, writing about how to talk to kids about pornography wasn't something she ever imagined. But after experiencing the devastating impact of pornography addiction in her own marriage—when her husband disclosed his addiction and a subsequent affair—Greta realized how vital it is for families to approach this topic with openness and grace. As she walked the road of healing, Greta began researching the reality of pornography—some studies show the average first exposure happens between the ages of 8 and 11.Her newest book, It's Time to Talk to Your Kids About Porn: A Parent's Guide to Helping Children and Teens Develop Sexual Integrity, equips parents with practical wisdom for initiating these critical conversations in their homes.In this episode, Davey sits down with Greta to discuss how to respond when a spouse reveals addiction or betrayal, when to start talking to your kids about sex, and how to equip them with a plan if they ever encounter pornography.If you've ever felt overwhelmed about how to protect your children online or where to even begin, this conversation will give you the tools and confidence to take the first step.
