Podcasts about Busch Stadium

Apparently one Friday show wasn't chaotic enough, so this episode brings together sports-radio confusion, Banana Ball insanity, celebrity disasters, '90s music nostalgia, Taylor Swift fandom, and an emotional goodbye that briefly forces The Rizzuto Show to experience genuine human feelings. Gross. The crew is coming off its takeover of The Fast Lane, where St. Louis sports-radio listeners turned on their radios expecting serious sports analysis and instead found… us. Confused texts start rolling in, Moon commits the apparently unforgivable crime of discussing soccer, and everyone discovers that sports-talk fans approach radio hosts with roughly the same restraint they bring to yelling at referees.From there, we head to Busch Stadium for the Savannah Bananas and the wonderfully ridiculous world of Banana Ball. No bunting. Batters can steal first. Ball four turns into a sprint. Fans can record an out by catching a foul ball. There's a Golden Batter. There are bizarre tiebreakers. Basically, somebody looked at baseball and asked, “What if this moved faster and people actually had fun?”That naturally sends us down the Steve Bartman rabbit hole, where we discover the infamous baseball was eventually purchased, publicly blown up and—because humanity had apparently not done enough—its essence was incorporated into pasta sauce. Sports fans remain completely normal.We also get into Rizz's upcoming first trip to Buc-ee's, the Gathering of the Juggalos, a drug bust involving a man with the incredibly discreet nickname Blunt Man, speeding, road rage and those tiny towns where the speed limit suddenly drops just in time for a police officer to welcome you personally.Then nostalgia attacks.A forgotten Rollins Band song sends Rizz straight back to the '90s, MTV and Beavis and Butt-Head, leading to an appreciation of Henry Rollins as perhaps the only man capable of delivering inspirational wisdom while looking permanently furious about it. Rafe even discovers the perfect soundtrack for the closet he apparently cries in.Once Crap on Celebrities gets rolling, things become significantly more expensive and legally complicated. Foo Fighters are joining AC/DC for a huge St. Louis show, which is incredible news right up until everyone remembers they'll eventually have to escape the parking lot. The crew also digs into the Michael Jackson biopic sequel, developments surrounding the Tupac murder case and reported Diddy allegations, questions surrounding changes to Biggie's mother's will, and Dane Cook revisiting the brutal discovery that his own brother embezzled millions from him.Nothing says family like alleged financial crimes.There's also God of War casting drama involving Dave Bautista, a public service announcement about a movie Moon thinks is absolute garbage, and a rundown of famous actors who reportedly couldn't stand each other while filming some of Hollywood's most beloved romances. Turns out all that incredible on-screen chemistry might occasionally just be two attractive people professionally suppressing rage.And then Courtney Diamond — aka Eight Ball — comes home.The former Rizzuto Show intern joins the crew ahead of the final TaylorMade tribute to Taylor Swift show, closing a chapter that grew into 45 performances across 28 cities. Courtney talks about knowing when it was time to end TaylorMade, remembering the nerves surrounding the first show and making sure the project went out while everyone involved still loved what they were doing.Things get dangerously sincere when Courtney reflects on her time working with the show and tells Rizz that one of the lessons she carried with her was watching him treat people well and thank her for her work every day as an intern.Don't worry. Everyone immediately starts making jokes before Rizz can develop an emotion.Courtney also explains how a die-hard Def Leppard and '80s hair-metal fan became a massive Taylor Swift fan, why Swift's songwriting won her over and where even a dedicated Swiftie draws the line when it comes to merch drops, album variants and the Taylor Swift business machine.Then we enter the terrifying world of parasocial fandom.The crew debates fans driving 12 hours just to stand outside a celebrity wedding, Courtney admits to incorporating some Def Leppard sightseeing into her honeymoon, and even one of the biggest Swifties we know arrives at an important conclusion:Some Swifties need to chill.Finally, Courtney looks ahead to the emotional final TaylorMade performance and talks about what it feels like to deliberately close something she's spent years building. She doesn't know exactly what comes next—and for once, nobody needs to turn that into a five-year plan.It's sports, weird news, celebrity gossip, music memories, St. Louis chaos, Taylor Swift, Juggalos, Banana Ball, family betrayals, emotional farewells and enough wildly unnecessary side conversations to remind everyone why The Rizzuto Show remains your daily comedy destination.Basically, we laughed, we learned, we almost had feelings, and somewhere along the way Blunt Man got arrested.Another productive 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.St. Louis City considers demolition of fire-damaged church, home to non-profit's skate parkFour arrested on drug charges tied to Gathering of the Juggalos near Macks CreekMargaret Qualley Just Wore Those Controversial Chanel Shoes for The Dog Stars PremiereSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the funny show where every perfectly reasonable conversation eventually gets dragged into an alley and beaten senseless by five people with microphones.We're coming off our takeover of The Fast Lane, and apparently not everyone received the memo. The ESPN audience showed up expecting sports talk and instead got us, leading to confused texts, angry sports fans and the crew slowly realizing that sports-radio listeners chirp hosts the same way they chirp players from the stands. Honestly, we respect the commitment. Moon even dared to discuss soccer in St. Louis, which naturally went over calmly and rationally with everyone.Obviously.With that historic broadcasting achievement behind us, we immediately announce record ratings, retire undefeated and turn our attention to the Savannah Bananas coming to Busch Stadium.And this is where baseball gets weird.We break down Banana Ball rules, including no bunting, batters potentially stealing first, sprinting after ball four, the Golden Batter, bizarre tiebreakers and the glorious rule where a fan catching a foul ball can actually record an out. Finally, buying a glove as a grown adult has consequences beyond your friends making fun of you.That sends us directly into Steve Bartman history, because why stay on topic? We revisit the infamous Cubs foul ball, discover what eventually happened to the baseball and learn that people detonated the thing before incorporating its essence into pasta sauce.Sports are healthy.Then there's Skate Laborious. Three years after the fire, organizers are fighting to preserve the remaining church structure and transform it into an open-air skate park. Naturally, our contribution to the discussion is deciding this sounds like an '80s movie where a group of lovable misfits has to save the rec center from The Man.Cue the rollerblades.That somehow leads to Rad, Gleaming the Cube, BMX dancing, Lori Loughlin, Christian Slater and the realization that the '80s could turn literally any recreational activity into a feature film.Rizz is also heading toward Arkansas and preparing for another major milestone: his first trip to Buc-ee's. This launches the important Buc-ee's vs. Wally's debate, recommendations involving Beaver Nuggets and brisket, and a surprisingly heated discussion about whether you can leave your vehicle sitting at a gas pump while wandering around a convenience store the size of Rhode Island.Meanwhile, the Gathering of the Juggalos is happening in Missouri, which brings us one of the least surprising headlines in human history: a massive drug bust involving a gentleman known as Blunt Man.Yes. Blunt Man.A man allegedly associated with a “One Stop Shop” supplying the festival had even received a promotional shout-out from Violent J. Somehow subtlety did not prevail. The ensuing discussion includes an enormous list of seized drugs, plans for a possible Rizz Show expedition to the Gathering and the very sensible conclusion that nobody should attempt this without a qualified Juggalo Sherpa.From there, this funny show tackles another subject where everyone believes they're correct: speeding.How far over the limit is acceptable? Is ten over basically the unofficial speed limit? Why do tiny towns suddenly drop from highway speeds to 35 mph directly in front of what appears to be their entire police department? Lern admits that aggressive drivers can activate her own personal highway-vigilante mode, while everyone shares speeding-ticket stories and their individual theories about what cops will actually tolerate.It's sports, St. Louis stories, weird news, nostalgia, road rage and several conversations that should have ended much sooner than they did. In other words, exactly what you came for from a funny show that continues proving nobody should give us this much microphone 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/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.

Twenty years after helping the St. Louis Cardinals win the 2006 World Series, Randy Flores is back with The Rizzuto Show — except now he's sitting on the other side of baseball, helping find the players who could become the Cardinals' next generation of stars.The Cardinals assistant GM of scouting and acquisition joins this comedy podcast to talk about Draft365: Scouting MLB's Future Stars, a behind-the-scenes look at a side of professional baseball fans almost never get to see.And when we say behind the scenes, we mean it.Flores explains how roughly 23 Cardinals scouts spread across the country evaluate elite high school and college talent, how players make their way onto the organization's radar, and what happens when scouts, analysts, data engineers, performance specialists and actual human eyeballs all have to agree on which teenager might someday be standing at Busch Stadium.Turns out it's slightly more complicated than your uncle saying, “Kid's got a good swing.”Randy also explains just how absurdly difficult it is to reach Major League Baseball. The crew immediately starts Googling percentages, Rafe consults what basically becomes “Gronk AI,” and everyone arrives at the same scientific conclusion:Your odds aren't great.Even the players who get drafted were usually THE player where they came from — the best kid in their town, school or region — only to arrive in professional baseball and discover they're now surrounded by hundreds of other guys who were also the best kid everywhere they came from.Welcome to the world's most emotionally devastating All-Star team.Flores talks about seeing that firsthand after being drafted himself and walking into the Yankees system, where he realized his team was only one of several groups making cuts — inside just one organization. Multiply that by the rest of Major League Baseball and suddenly “making the show” sounds less like a career plan and more like surviving a very athletic Hunger Games.The conversation also dives into Cardinals prospects like Jordan Walker and Joshua Baez, including how the unusual COVID-era draft helped St. Louis feel confident about Walker and how adversity in the minor leagues helped prepare Baez for his eventual opportunity.And despite baseball becoming more obsessed with analytics, Randy explains why scouting still can't be reduced to numbers on a screen. Players leave home. They struggle. They get hurt. They fail for possibly the first time in their lives. Scouts aren't only evaluating what someone can do when everything is going right — they're trying to figure out what happens when baseball punches them directly in the mouth.That's where the human side still matters.For parents convinced they're currently raising the next MLB superstar, Flores also delivers some advice that may save everybody several thousand dollars and one deeply uncomfortable car ride home: if the kid is truly good enough, scouts will find them. Parents can help most by supporting the kid instead of turning every Little League game into Game 7 of the World Series.The pressure is already enormous. Kids now have rankings, social media clips and embarrassing moments that can follow them indefinitely. Randy's advice is refreshingly simple: home should still be the safe place.We also get into Randy's unusual road from an eight-year MLB career to graduate school, broadcasting, coaching, entrepreneurship and eventually a phone call from John Mozeliak asking whether he'd consider becoming a scouting director — to which Randy essentially responded, “Cool. What's a scouting director?”Career planning!Plus, Randy previews the 20-year reunion of the 2006 World Series champion Cardinals and explains what he hopes fans take away from Draft365: behind every prospect is an enormous group of people obsessively trying to keep the Cardinals' pipeline loaded with talent.By the end, Rafe wants to be scouted, Moon wants a job, Jon Lovitz's performance as a scout in A League of Their Own is finally evaluated by an actual professional, and somehow Marla Hooch helps bring the interview home.It's baseball insight, St. Louis Cardinals history and just enough nonsense to remind Randy he willingly walked into a comedy podcast.Twenty-five minutes later, we're all convinced we're getting drafted.We're not.But that's never stopped this comedy podcast before.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 officially turned 48, which means it's time to celebrate the only way responsible middle-aged adults know how: announce that birthdays are stupid, eat olives, drink approximately nine birthday beers, stay out until 1:45 in the morning and immediately begin discussing whether birthdays should be banned altogether next year.Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where one innocent weekend recap somehow requires an incident report.Lern returns from Nashville after one of her favorite trips with Tim, complete with cowboy boots, Broadway people-watching and a Foo Fighters show at Nissan Stadium that was approximately three degrees cooler than walking directly into a pizza oven. She missed Queens of the Stone Age thanks to dinner running late and a forgotten phone, but made it for Foo Fighters, Shane West randomly appearing during the band's trip through its members' musical histories, and a romantic finish listening from the pedestrian bridge while fireworks went off. Cute. Disgusting. We're happy for them.Back in St. Louis, Guns N' Roses had their own weather problems when storms forced the band to shorten the Busch Stadium show. Naturally, this leads to the important journalistic question: if you're Guns N' Roses and rain is coming, HOW DO YOU NOT IMMEDIATELY PLAY “NOVEMBER RAIN”? We don't make the rules. Actually, apparently neither do they.Rafe also reviews a nice dinner that became considerably less sophisticated when he repeatedly ate what he thought were tiny potatoes before discovering he'd housed about seven cloves of garlic. Somewhere, a vampire crossed St. Louis County off its travel plans.Then we finally get to Rizz's Birthday Bash.Pin-Up Bowl goes from Rizz worrying nobody will show up to being absolutely packed. The special Dangler beer flows freely. Rizz receives spaghetti-and-meatball dangler earrings, another signed Don Mattingly baseball and a massive strawberry birthday cake featuring a photo of Rizz with a truly breathtaking hair situation. There's bowling, questionable decisions and eventually a migration to Delmar Hall — except for Scott, whom everyone insists they didn't abandon collectively. They merely abandoned him individually.At Delmar Hall, the Blink-182 tribute brings the hits, Bangs Against the Machine brings the Rage, Rizz keeps getting handed beverages, and eventually Mrs. Rizzuto performs the evening's most important public service by shutting down the birthday shots before somebody had to replace another shower curtain.And because this funny podcast refuses to allow one story to remain normal, Rafe encounters an extremely overserved gentleman who desperately needs transportation to St. Charles — or, as his remaining functioning brain cells pronounce it, “Saint Charola's.” Rafe gets him water, security gets involved, and somehow Rafe's name becomes “Grave.” Sure. Why not.Then comes the Quincy lottery story.The crew discusses an unverified rumor surrounding the area's massive Powerball winner and questions about whether the winner's reported probation conditions could create problems claiming the jackpot. The show makes clear that the details are speculation, which naturally does absolutely nothing to prevent everyone from imagining lawyers descending on Quincy and the winner going full Brewster's Millions with jet skis, a mansion, Kid Rock and possibly an old-timey paddle boat.Birthday parties, concerts, garlic, strangers, lottery drama and enough questionable judgment to power another broadcast — just another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show.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.

Meanwhile, clues in The Goonies appear to place its adventure right around that same Saturday. Coincidence? Intentional cinematic universe? Evidence that Chunk was one DeLorean ride away from completely destroying the space-time continuum? We investigate with exactly the level of academic rigor you'd expect from this program.Then Brian arrives with enough food to turn the studio into a French bakery: croissants, bread, ham and Swiss, smoked deviled eggs and more. This comes after the gigantic birthday cake he'd already made for Rizz, because apparently we're now trying to see whether a radio host can be defeated entirely by carbohydrates.Nate Bargatze also sets a massive comedy ticket-sales record, sending Rafe and the crew into a genuinely interesting conversation about club comedy versus arena comedy. Rafe explains why smaller rooms create that perfect pressure cooker of laughs while superstar comics eventually reach a level where playing a 200-seat club makes about as much financial sense as opening a lemonade stand inside Costco.The entertainment conversation keeps rolling into movies, celebrity stories and eventually Brad Pitt declaring that bad acting is so distracting he can't watch porn. This results in Rafe questioning Brad Pitt's acting credentials and nearly getting thrown off the show by everyone else. The crew debates whether Pitt is actually an elite actor, just exceptionally talented at playing Brad Pitt, or both.The crew surprises him with cards carefully selected to remind him that he's old, grouchy and one year closer to death. Lern gives him a Tommy Wiseau pasta spoon. Then Rafe produces Italian rainbow cookies from Sweet Seven Layers, delivered by a New York/Jersey baker who listens to the show and apparently understands exactly how to win over a “greasy meatball” birthday boy.Sweet Seven Layers has everybody losing their minds over traditional Italian rainbow cookies, pistachio and blackberry creations, cherry amaretto and enough sugar to make Moon openly admit he's buzzing. Throw in the pastries from Le Bon Boucher and we're basically broadcasting from inside a carbohydrate emergency.Sexy Time Fun Facts arrives with a legitimately groundbreaking medical story: surgeons in Vietnam successfully performed the country's first penile transplant from a brain-dead donor.What starts as an unbelievable medical headline turns into a surprisingly thoughtful conversation about organ donation, brain death and transplant ethics. Rafe brings some firsthand perspective from witnessing organ harvesting during his previous surgical work, while Moon reflects on his own recent experience being with his father at the end of his life.A ranking of all 50 states examines factors including clubs, online communities, hotels and other indicators of an active swinging lifestyle. Florida takes the top spot because Florida apparently looked at its existing reputation and decided to lean in. Missouri lands at number 20 overall, while ranking eighth for its number of physical swinger clubs.Science apparently has an answer for how much you should reveal in your dating profile. Say too little and people assume you're sketchy. Overshare every trauma you've experienced since kindergarten and romantic interest drops. The sweet spot is the “Goldilocks bio”: enough personality and detail to seem interesting without making somebody feel like they've accidentally opened your therapist's case notes.Rafe isn't particularly interested. He'd rather meet somebody naturally and “let the universe do it,” which is adorable and therefore completely unacceptable to his coworkers. Tinder, Hinge, Bumble and Raya all enter the discussion, along with stories of celebrities appearing in people's inboxes and the realization that getting Rafe approved for Raya may require more references than getting a mortgage.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.Vietnamese doctors perform nation's first successful penis transplantThe best states for swingers revealed — with a few surprising Southern states taking the top 3 spotsNew Jumbotron at Illinois High School Falls, Damages Gym During Installation on VideoSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rizz went to Busch Stadium expecting a Cardinals game and maybe a nice afternoon with the crew. What he got instead was Don Mattingly, surprise adoption paperwork, thousands of witnesses and a chance to finally erase 16 years of baseball-related humiliation. So yeah, pretty standard Wednesday.The day starts with the important journalism you've come to expect from this funny podcast: stadium nachos and what they can do to the human digestive system when a grown man refuses to respect the warning signs. King Scott had to leave the show after apparently going a little too hard on the food the day before, which naturally sends Rafe down memory lane to his own infamous stadium-nacho incident. There are some memories you cherish forever. Others apparently require abandoning your underwear.Then Rizz explains what actually happened at Busch Stadium.He thought the crew was simply heading down for a Cardinals game and getting some field access. That's already a pretty great afternoon. Then they get onto the field, Rizz spots Don Mattingly near the Phillies dugout and suddenly everybody starts putting microphones on.Suspicious? Sure.Effective? Absolutely.Because Don Mattingly isn't just another baseball player to Rizz. This is THE childhood hero. The guy whose poster was on his wall. The Yankees legend who immediately turns a professional radio host into an 11-year-old kid capable of rattling off 1980s baseball statistics like he's being held hostage by the back of a Topps card.And somehow that's only the beginning.The crew reveals that Don Mattingly has agreed to adopt Rizz for one day. There is paperwork. There are conditions. There is apparently more thought put into this fake adoption than we've put into several legitimate business decisions.Why the adoption?Because 16 years earlier, Rizz threw out a ceremonial first pitch at Busch Stadium and launched the baseball over the catcher's head and toward the color guard in front of a packed stadium. His parents were there. The crowd collectively reacted. The shame survived longer than several popular social media platforms.Now he gets another chance.One pitch.From the mound.Throw a strike and Don Mattingly recognizes Rizz as his son for the remainder of the day. Miss, and the adoption gets immediately annulled while the Rizzuto bloodline remains publicly disgraced.This funny podcast suddenly became the final 10 minutes of a baseball movie nobody knew they were watching.Then comes the introduction. Busch Stadium PA announcer John Hewlett reads an absolutely enormous setup explaining Rizz's original failure, his father, his 16 years of shame, Don Mattingly's temporary paternity and the consequences of another miss. Meanwhile Rizz has to stand there on the big screen waiting to throw the baseball while the introduction simply refuses to end.Eventually, there is nowhere left to hide.Rizz steps onto the mound.He throws.STRIKE.Right down the middle.Hunter Dobbins barely has to move his glove. Fredbird runs out. Everybody loses their minds. Rizz drops down and looks toward the sky thinking about his dad, and suddenly this ridiculous bit the crew had been planning turns into a genuinely incredible moment.Naturally, we can't remain emotionally healthy for long.The celebration leads directly back into jokes about Papa Don abandoning his newly adopted son, the Hubbard suite the show apparently wasn't originally invited to, and the staggering quantity of food consumed by people who knew perfectly well they eventually had to leave an air-conditioned room and walk back into St. Louis heat.It's sentimental. It's stupid. It's baseball. It's stomach problems. It's Don Mattingly becoming somebody's temporary father. In other words, it's exactly the kind of emotional whiplash this funny podcast specializes in.Episode 48 of The Rizzuto Show: come for the redemption story, stay because somebody has to make sure Rafe survives the buffet.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.

Since the 1800s the St. Louis Cardinals have brought 11 World Series titles to the Gateway to the West. And generations of Southern fans have flocked to Busch Stadium, followed the Birds on the radio and TV, and passionately worn their Cardinals gear. The Y'all Show is a production of Yall.com, and hosted by Jon Rawl. #MLB #stlouiscardinals

Illinois Football continues to strengthen its off-the-field leadership as Bret Bielema has added Tory Tekyl as the program's new Executive Director, bringing another experienced administrator into the Illini football operation as the program looks to build on its recent success. Meanwhile, Cardinals legend Adam Wainwright is standing up for St. Louis. After Barstool Sports criticized the Cardinals organization, Busch Stadium, and its fan base, Wainwright fired back by passionately defending Cardinals fans, saying they earned the reputation as "the best fans in baseball" through decades of loyalty and knowledge of the game—not because they gave themselves the title. Tonight, the Cardinals open a key series against the Arizona Diamondbacks looking to continue building momentum in the second half. Can St. Louis slow down Arizona's explosive offense while continuing to get production from its young core, including Home Run Derby champion Jordan Walker? Plus, the Cubs begin an intriguing interleague matchup against the Minnesota Twins. Chicago enters the weekend trying to stay in the thick of the National League playoff race, while the Twins are looking to climb back into contention in the American League. We'll break down both matchups, discuss the biggest storylines to watch, and make our predictions for tonight's games.

The poopoo parasite is around Amy has worries; Ellisville is now allowing its police officers to support ICE; Barstool Sports doesn't like Cardinals fans or Busch Stadium; Did you see this? lots of drugs at the Phish show.

Hosts of a Barstool Sports podcast doubled-down on their criticism of Cardinals fans, and added a critique of Busch Stadium. Amy and Chris disagree. 'It is a good ballpark, it is a good stadium,' says Chris after a host said that Busch isn't a good ballpark, and the best thing about it was the skyline outside.

The Cardinals are in the hunt for a playoff birth with the re-emergence of Jordan Walker who was just placed onto the National League All-Star team. Ed Kasputis interviews Kurt Smith from ballparkeguides.com about Busch Stadium and Ballpark Village.

Some mornings you wake up ready to solve the world's biggest problems. Other mornings you argue about whether sleeves are optional and accidentally stumble into a debate about the future of an entire city. Welcome to another daily comedy show from The Rizzuto Show.Moon returns from a weekend of Summerfest adventures looking suspiciously sleeveless after performing in Milwaukee and Michigan. Naturally, the gang immediately assumes his sleeves were abandoned somewhere across state lines. From there, things only get weirder.The crew dives into stories from Summerfest, why the Midwest might secretly know how to throw the perfect music festival, and why St. Louis deserves a festival that could rival the country's biggest events. That conversation somehow turns into a surprisingly thoughtful—and hilariously sarcastic—discussion about downtown St. Louis, why people avoid it, what could actually bring people back, and whether the Gateway City is getting a little unfairly roasted...or completely earning it.Then comes Moon's unbelievable hotel story.After grabbing a quick nap before a show, a woman walks into his hotel room thanks to a key mix-up. Instead of the hotel apologizing to him, the guest claims Moon was completely naked—which he absolutely was not. Cue one of the funniest lobby confrontations you'll hear this year as Moon loudly reminds everyone who the real victim was. It's awkward, ridiculous, and exactly the kind of story that somehow only happens to this show.Meanwhile, the Hubbard company outing turns into an unexpected obsession thanks to custom cowboy hats, leather goods, and one very enthusiastic mobile hat bar. The crew debates belts versus hats, Rafe accidentally becomes "wallet brothers" with a leather craftsman, and everyone agrees that giving adults arts-and-crafts somehow creates better office morale than any motivational seminar ever could.You'll also hear conversations about concerts, Kenny Loggins nostalgia, summer festivals, downtown development, touring life, travel disasters, baseball-adjacent apartment envy, and enough sarcastic commentary to keep HR slightly concerned—but not enough to schedule another meeting.As always, it's the random detours that make everything better. One minute they're discussing city planning, the next they're imagining luxury apartment life overlooking Busch Stadium before immediately returning to roasting each other for absolutely no reason.If you love smart conversations that refuse to stay serious for more than thirty seconds, you've found your people.Thanks for making The Rizzuto Show part of your morning and your favorite daily comedy show. Whether you're commuting, pretending to work, hiding from your responsibilities, or simply looking for a reason to laugh, we're glad you're here.Because if a discussion about missing sleeves, downtown revitalization, cowboy hats, and hotel room confusion somehow belongs in the same episode...well...that's just another perfectly normal daily comedy show around here.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.

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the news of a looming press conference for Wednesday from Busch Stadium with the Cardinals preparing to share "important news related to ownership and organizational leadership" involving a number of key figures from the club.We discuss what could be looming while also diving into intel from Tuesday's loss to Arizona, with insight from Marmol on how the team is viewing Leahy and Liberatore in a year that will remain devoid of shortcuts.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 3-2 win over the D-backs on Monday at Busch Stadium. Nolan Arenado returned to Busch as a visiting player after spending five years in St. Louis.Cardinal pitching, though, made sure Nado's return didn't steal the show. Andre Pallante handed it over to a tired bullpen, but the relievers picked up the mantle to guide the Redbirds home in a close game.

Nolan Arenado spoke with the St. Louis media upon his return to Busch Stadium on Monday afternoon before the start of the Cardinals vs. D-backs series.Arenado reflected upon his time in St. Louis and gave his thoughts on the 2026 Cardinals.

If you thought a rainy Monday would slow this crew down, you've clearly never listened to The Rizzuto Show.The gang kicks off the week talking about storms, gardening wins, and Lauren's surprisingly strategic mosquito-fighting citronella operation. What starts as a wholesome conversation about plants immediately takes a hard left turn into shirtless concertgoers, Busch Stadium tarp-off culture, and one unforgettable performance where audience members decided clothing was entirely optional.Meanwhile, Moon's travel plans hit a snag overseas, but the crew agrees that being stranded in Germany isn't exactly the worst problem a person can have. Eat some bratwurst, grab some schnitzel, and enjoy the delay.The conversation only gets weirder from there.Rizz shares stories from a packed Primus concert full of forty-somethings reliving their glory days, psychedelic mishaps, and enough progressive rock to make your brain do cartwheels. Lauren recaps her weekend performing in Illinois while discovering that Stairway to Heaven apparently inspires men to remove their shirts in large numbers.Then comes one of the biggest revelations of the episode: Rizz officially gets the results of his sleep study. The diagnosis? Moderate sleep apnea. The reactions? Exactly what you'd expect from this crew. CPAP jokes, oral appliance confusion, Bane impressions, and a surprising amount of enthusiasm from listeners who have somehow turned sleep disorders into a lifestyle community.The gang also dives into youth sports after Rizz's son competes in a jiu-jitsu tournament featuring revenge matches, international competitors, and enough chokeholds to humble an entire family. Along the way they discuss sportsmanship, parenting, and why combat sports parents seem significantly calmer than hockey parents.As the daily comedy show rolls on, the crew tackles travel regrets, revealing the destinations Americans wish they had skipped. Vegas tops the list, proving that losing your savings, your dignity, and possibly your marriage all in one weekend may not be the vacation package people hoped for.You'll also get:Denver Airport conspiracy theoriesSmoking statistics and nostalgiaAmsterdam travel storiesFood poisoning warnings for barbecue seasonSmall-town fight-night memoriesWhy old cigarette ads were somehow even crazier than you rememberLike every great daily comedy show, this episode somehow manages to combine practical health advice, bizarre travel stories, accidental life lessons, and absolute nonsense into one glorious Monday morning ride.If you're looking for a daily comedy show packed with laughs, random tangents, listener stories, and the kind of conversations that only make sense before 10am, you've found your people.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.

Is it a brilliant life hack or just another thing to forget to charge? Lern almost had dreams of becoming a two-phone legend herself with plans for a "Learner Phone" burner setup before the deal disappeared faster than our motivation after lunch.Then it's time for Crap On Celebrities, where music news gets weird in all the right ways. Greta Van Fleet is back with new music, Peter Gabriel dusts off a song that apparently spent four decades sitting in a vault, and Disturbed is preparing new music while earning perhaps the most accurate parody album commercial we've ever produced. If you've ever wondered what a greatest hits collection consisting entirely of "AH-WAH-AH-AH-AH" sounds like, congratulations, your dream has arrived.We also discuss Rod Stewart's health issues, Frankie Valli finally canceling tour dates at age 92, and whether somebody should gently escort certain performers toward a comfortable pool chair and a nice afternoon nap.Ever wonder if your marriage can survive an overbearing mother-in-law, a 45-minute commute, and an AI girlfriend who always texts back? The gang dives headfirst into one of the most relatable relationship landmines on Earth: in-laws. From boundary issues and family dynamics to holiday stress and the delicate art of telling your parents to mind their own business, the crew shares personal stories about navigating marriage without accidentally starting a family civil war.Lern opens up about the difference between growing up in a loud, confrontational family versus marrying into a conflict-avoidant one. Scott flexes his surprisingly impressive relationship with his mother-in-law. Rizz explains how cultural differences, strong personalities, and family expectations can create tension even when everybody genuinely loves each other. It's relationship therapy... if your therapist occasionally gets distracted by fart jokes.Then things get statistical.The crew breaks down research on what actually predicts divorce. Expensive weddings? Bad sign. Long commutes? Not helping. Smoking habits, family history, education levels, age at marriage, and even church attendance all make the list. Some of the findings make sense. Some are surprising. And some spark a debate about whether staying married and staying happily married are actually the same thing.Of course, because this is a daily comedy show, the conversation quickly pivots into the glorious luxuries of being single. Sleeping diagonally. Ordering whatever food you want. Leaving cake untouched in the refrigerator. Taking naps without explanation. Buying appliances without committee approval. And perhaps most importantly, enjoying unrestricted household fart privileges.Things get even weirder when Harvard research enters the chat with findings about prostate health that leave the room simultaneously educated and uncomfortable. Just when you think the show can't possibly get more ridiculous, an AI company starts hiring "masturbation consultants" for product testing, and everyone collectively questions what timeline we're currently living in.Finally, the gang tackles the rapidly growing world of AI romance. Is having an AI girlfriend cheating? Is it harmless? Is it just a glorified Tamagotchi with emotional support features? Nobody has a definitive answer, but everyone has concerns. The debate turns into one of the most fascinating discussions of the episode as the crew explores loneliness, technology, relationships, and whether AI companionship is helping people or quietly replacing human connection.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.Denver International Airport to build pedestrian walkways between concoursesThe 1 Undiscussed Illness That Spikes During The Summer, According To DoctorsWorrying new bullying trend emerging in school cafeterias, mental health experts warnYou can now get paid $2K a month to be an AI 'masturbation consultant'Walmart 30-minute-or-less delivery now available in St. Louis marketFlorida Taco Bell Keep Your 'Chimichanga' to Yourself ...

As the longtime archrivals clash for the first time in 2026 with a weekend series at Busch Stadium, here is what the scuffling Cardinals and struggling Cubs share in common. They both got to this point thanks to the Brewers. The Cubs arrive in St. Louis fresh off ending a 10-game losing streak that yanked them from first place in the National League Central to last place, and the Cardinals slide home after being swept in Milwaukee. They've lost six of their past eight games against division foes. With both teams separated percentage points going into their first series of the season, this is a pivotal weekend for at least one of them. Patrick Mooney, longtime Cubs beat writer and senior writer at The Athletic, joins the Best Podcast in Baseball to discuss how the Cubs could go from the high highs of two 10-game winning streaks this season to the current questions at the end of a 10-game plummet. Along with BPIB host Derrick Goold, Monney discusses the Cubs' pitching injuries and limited depth, their center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, and the manager Craig Counsell and his sense of humor behind some stoic answers. For the Cardinals, this series is their first time back since "tarps off" and a chance to play in front of huge, lively crowds -- and sell them on returning. The writers also discuss what these longtime rivals, the Cubs and Cardinals, share in common. They're both chasing Milwaukee. More Post-Dispatch podcasts.  Please consider subscribing.

The Rizzuto Show returns with another completely unhinged episode packed with heroic swamp justice, emotional damage, celebrity chaos, and enough playground nostalgia to make you smell cafeteria pizza again. This comedy podcast starts strong with the crew preparing for Pointfest weekend before immediately derailing into one of the greatest fake award ceremonies in show history: the official presentation of the first-ever Swamp Justice Medal of Freedom.After a St. Louis Cardinals fan bravely stepped in during a dangerous moment at Busch Stadium, the show decides the man deserves recognition the mainstream media apparently refused to provide. Naturally, this turns into a fully orchestrated patriotic tribute involving dramatic speeches, fake medals, Midwestern heroism, and several moments that somehow feel both sincere and completely ridiculous at the same time. Honestly, it might be the proudest moment in modern broadcasting. Or the dumbest. Hard to tell anymore.Then things somehow become even more unstable.Rafe discovers that Reba McEntire is engaged and reacts with the emotional maturity of a raccoon trapped inside a fireworks store. What follows is one of the most absurd comedy bits in recent memory as he describes crashing Reba's future wedding disguised as a corn dog vendor while professing his undying love in front of longhorn cattle, miniature donkeys, and deeply uncomfortable wedding guests. If you've ever wondered what would happen if romantic fan fiction collided with state fair cuisine, this comedy podcast has your answer.The crew also debates the saddest movie deaths of all time and accidentally turns the studio into a trauma support group. From Bing Bong and Mufasa to Armageddon, The Green Mile, Forrest Gump, Logan, and My Girl, absolutely nobody escapes emotional devastation. Moon somehow tries to sneak Jesus Christ into the conversation, which honestly feels very on-brand at this point.Elsewhere in the episode:Mini Kiss stories somehow dominate an entire segmentAir Supply accidentally catches straysThe internet invents “ball maxing” because society is collapsing in real timeHorse fart audio becomes a legitimate discussion topicThe gang debates recess, playground politics, and old-school childhood gamesRafe reveals he was elite at Double Dutch before toxic masculinity stole his dreamsEverybody collectively realizes recess may have been the only thing keeping America functionalThis comedy podcast continues delivering the exact mix of sarcastic humor, pop culture nonsense, emotional overreactions, and St. Louis chaos that somehow keeps this whole thing running. Whether it's celebrity gossip, weird news, childhood trauma, or a grown man yelling “GET YOUR CORN DOG, REBA” into a microphone, The Rizzuto Show remains your trusted source for daily entertainment and complete nonsense.If you love funny podcasts, weird stories, sarcastic humor, celebrity fails, daily comedy, or hearing adults emotionally unravel over fictional characters and carnival food, welcome home.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.City of Markham sues park district executive director over prom photo helicopter landingStudy Shows Littering Declined 34% Across America Since 2020Nonprofits spearhead St. Louis effort to remove trash, tiresWoman Who Went Viral for Unintentionally Rude Email Address Changes Her Last NameSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You know it's gonna be a weird day when the show opens with Rizz realizing his daughter's cheer banquet wasn't “folding chairs and sheet cake” but instead a full-on country club gala requiring a suit, tie, speeches, awards, emotional endurance, and apparently enough rubber chicken to bankrupt a catering company. Nothing says “supportive father” like sitting through four straight hours of banquet politics while pretending not to judge the speeches in your head.From there, the gang dives straight into the viral Busch Stadium incident where fans had to physically stop a guy from potentially falling from the upper deck. The discussion somehow turns into a complete breakdown of dangerous stadium seating, ballpark netting, drunk fan physics, and why Moon believes geese and gravity are America's greatest threats. Which honestly? Fair.Speaking of geese… apparently St. Louis now belongs to them. The crew discusses the annual return of Canada geese nesting season, why those feathered psychopaths become hyper-aggressive this time of year, and how entire college campuses basically surrender to goose gangs every spring. There's talk of fake coyotes, migratory bird treaties, goose chases, and the emotional humiliation of running from an animal that looks like it pays taxes.And because this is somehow still not enough chaos for one funny podcast, the conversation shifts to Yellowstone bear attacks, Mother's Day pressure, and the discovery that Father's Day is mostly just a yearly reminder of unresolved family trauma. Rafe perfectly explains why Father's Day social media posts always feel like passive-aggressive therapy sessions while Mother's Day gets treated like a national holiday requiring military-level planning.Meanwhile, King Scott prepares for his first Mother's Day with a pregnant wife, Moon contemplates fleeing town entirely to avoid gift expectations, and Rizz introduces “The Ralph Rule,” which may or may not destroy families nationwide. Add in deadbeat parents losing passports over unpaid child support, brunch recommendations turning into food obsession, and several near-death stories involving stadium upper decks, and you've got another completely normal day for The Rizzuto Show.This funny podcast continues doing what it does best: mixing weird news, sports chaos, parenting struggles, sarcastic commentary, celebrity-level overreactions, and St. Louis nonsense into one giant comedy blender. Whether you're here for the goose warfare, the Busch Stadium insanity, or the emotional collapse surrounding Mother's Day reservations, this episode delivers the exact kind of daily comedy disaster fans expect from The Rizzuto Show.If you love a funny podcast full of hilarious fails, weird headlines, sarcastic humor, pop culture commentary, and the kind of conversations that spiral completely out of control in the best possible way, welcome home.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.

Whether you're here for the goose warfare, the Busch Stadium insanity, or the emotional collapse surrounding Mother's Day reservations, this episode delivers the exact kind of daily comedy disaster fans expect from The Rizzuto Show.The internet woke up in full panic mode after Instagram launched a massive bot purge that vaporized millions of followers from celebrities, influencers, and probably your cousin who suddenly became a “fitness entrepreneur” during the pandemic. Kylie Jenner lost 14 million followers in a blink, and suddenly everybody online started acting like follower counts never mattered anyway. Sure, Jan.The gang dives into the chaos of fake followers disappearing, why advertisers are finally cracking down, and how even normal accounts can tell when the bots get exterminated. It's basically robot Hunger Games happening quietly in the background of social media while everybody keeps posting blurry vacation photos and motivational quotes stolen from Pinterest.Then somehow the conversation turns into Angry Birds officially entering the Video Game Hall of Fame. Yes. Angry Birds. The little phone game that destroyed productivity in offices across America is now standing next to gaming legends like Doom and Oregon Trail. The crew debates what games deserve Hall of Fame status, why Guitar Hero absolutely got robbed, and how Tony Hawk's Pro Skater soundtracks basically raised an entire generation of emotionally confused skateboard kids.There's also a deep dive into concert experiences at the Sphere in Las Vegas, including No Doubt, Metallica, Tool, and the realization that Tool might actually be the perfect Sphere band because nobody in Tool has ever looked interested in being on stage anyway. The visual effects do the heavy lifting while the audience collectively melts into a psychedelic lava lamp.Moon talks about how video games became one of the biggest discovery tools for music, including stories about Story of the Year songs unexpectedly blowing up after landing in racing games and MLB titles. If you ever found your favorite band because you crashed fake cars in Need for Speed, congratulations — you were part of history.This might genuinely be one of the greatest confidence scams ever attempted: a French professor allegedly invents an entire prestigious academic award, buys himself a medal, gathers actual respected intellectuals, and somehow convinces everyone he's basically the LeBron James of language studies. Honestly? Kind of inspirational. The gang immediately realizes that most awards are basically made up anyway, which quickly escalates into creating fake international honors like “The Grand Cross of the Order of the Toasted Ravioli.” Because if you say anything confidently enough with enough gold trim attached to it, people will apparently clap.From there, the show takes a hard left directly into psychological warfare after King Scott introduces one of the most cursed “Would You Rather?” questions in show history: permanent Cheeto fingers… or taste buds in your butt. Yes. Really. The discussion somehow gets worse when Rafe introduces the horrifying concept of “the second tasting,” permanently ruining food, digestion, and probably several listeners' lunch breaks. It's the kind of conversation that could only happen on a daily comedy show powered entirely by sleep deprivation, bad decisions, and unchecked access to microphones.Rafe's E-Memoriam segment also delivers pure chaos this week. The crew says goodbye to Ask Jeeves, the once-beloved internet butler who politely helped people search embarrassing questions before Google became the all-knowing digital overlord living inside everyone's phones. The nostalgia spiral includes Geocities, LimeWire, Rotten Dot Com, terrible internet decisions, and the realization that the early internet somehow survived entirely on flashing skull gifs and confusion.Meanwhile, Rafe continues his quest toward honorary membership in the Blackfoot Nation, which now involves fingerprinting, Canadian bureaucracy, Wayne Gretzky references, and an unexpectedly spiritual trip to a UPS Store kiosk. What should have been a simple government process becomes an epic fantasy journey involving sacred scanners, sweaty palms, and “Hakuna Moscato” novelty packing tape. It's impossible to explain properly because this daily comedy show exists in a dimension where every normal story mutates into folklore by segment three.The episode wraps with real RIPs including Alex Ligertwood from Santana and media giant Ted Turner, proving The Rizzuto Show can somehow balance heartfelt moments alongside conversations about whether your butthole could identify ranch seasoning.If you love comedy podcasts, funny stories, weird news, sarcastic humor, pop culture commentary, St. Louis radio chaos, and hearing grown adults emotionally unravel in real time, this episode delivers everything you could possibly want from a daily comedy show… and several things you absolutely did not ask for.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.Scary Scenes Emerge as Cardinals Fan Hangs Off Upper Deck Ledge, Major Accident AvertedCanada geese arrive in St. Louis for nesting season15-year-old, 28-year-old attacked by mother grizzly with cubs in Yellowstone National ParkUS will start revoking passports for thousands of parents who owe child support‘Angry Birds', ‘Silent Hill' and ‘FIFA' added to World Video Game Hall Of FameFrench professor facing probe for creating fake Nobel-style prize - only to award it to himselfMan, 34, Arrested For DWI (Droning While Intoxicated)Tampa officers find beer can in 'Happy Meal' during DUI investigation'Huff and puff and blow his house down': Woman burns down boyfriend's house because she was 'p—ed off' he stole from herTeens drive lawn mower into Target as part of social media stuntGroom arrested moments before wedding for failing to disclose he was registered pedophileSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
