Marcus' What You Know 'Bout That trivia game for Thursday February 12th, 2026. 

Britney Spears just secured a reported $200 million for her music catalog and somehow we're still arguing about who has the better investment strategy — her or Justin Bieber. In this episode of The Rizzuto Show, we break down pop star bank accounts like we're certified financial advisors (we are not), debate whose catalog is actually worth more, and pitch the revolutionary idea of putting $200 million into a CD and just vibing off the interest forever.Then we hit you with a study that claims your average commute is worth over $8,000 a year. That's right — the time you spend sitting in traffic listening to this comedy podcast technically has a dollar amount. So congratulations, your daily entertainment comes with emotional support and questionable financial implications. We do the math, question our life choices, and decide that at least you're spending those 222 hours a year with a funny podcast that doesn't charge admission.But the crown jewel of today's chaos? A fresh round of Gay Bar or Steakhouse — the most deceptively impossible game in morning talk show history. Establishments like “The Blazing Saddle,” “Wolf Lodge,” and “Silverado” have us second-guessing geography, masculinity, and common sense. Lifelines are used. Friendships are tested. Logic is abandoned. Somehow we end with a winner, but not before Moon spirals about Portland and we collectively admit this is the hardest 50/50 shot in radio.We also dive into some serious local news out of St. Louis, including a disturbing Starbucks drive-thru shooting and a substitute teacher situation in St. Charles that proves reality continues to outdo satire. Because nothing balances celebrity news and daily humor quite like real-world chaos.If you're here for pop culture commentary, entertainment gossip, weird news stories, sarcastic humor, and a daily comedy show that doesn't take itself too seriously — welcome home. This comedy podcast is your daily reminder that the world is ridiculous and at least we can laugh at it together.New episodes drop every weekday because apparently we enjoy the chaos.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 idea of commuting Ghislaine Maxwell's sentence is beyond disgusting—it's an insult to every survivor who suffered under the Epstein machine. This isn't some white-collar embezzler or a tax cheat; this is a woman convicted of trafficking children, grooming them, and serving them up to one of the most vile predators in modern history. To even whisper about leniency for her is to spit in the faces of those victims who were silenced, manipulated, and destroyed by a system that already failed them once. It's not just tone-deaf—it's moral rot at the highest level, a grotesque display of how the powerful still find ways to protect their own while pretending justice has been served.Entertaining this conversation at all makes a mockery of accountability. It confirms everything people like me have been shouting for years: the Epstein network was never dismantled—it was managed, protected, and slowly buried under “procedures” and “reports.” If this administration, or any administration, has the gall to let Maxwell walk free, it won't just be a betrayal—it'll be proof that the cover-up has come full circle. You don't commute the sentence of a predator's enabler; you keep her exactly where she belongs: behind bars, staring at the walls she helped build for others.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Guest host Sen. Benton Sawrey, a Johnston Co Republican, and co-host Brian Lewis team up to break down a wintry week in #ncpol. From icy politics to the Governor making yet another budget pitch, the latest John Locke Foundation poll, fresh primary chatter, a heartbreaking tragedy in Cabarrus County, House oversight fireworks, #TOTW, and more. The episode also features a conversation with Rep. Tim Longest, a Raleigh Democrat with possibly the shortest commute to the General Assembly.

From decoding Gen Alpha slang that makes us feel 100 years old to breaking down Trader Joe's 2025 Customer Choice Awards (and questioning some of the picks) this episode is a ride.

This episode is all over the place in the best way. We talk about words to live by, debate whether blue sheets are a red flag, and try to make sense of Gen Alpha slang without embarrassing ourselves too much. Equal parts advice, chaos, and cultural confusion.

Is buying new construction in the Bay Area actually safer — or quietly riskier than most buyers realize?Join Spencer Hsu, a top 1% Bay Area real estate agent, as he breaks down what most buyers never hear about new construction — and why choosing the wrong builder can cost far more than just upgrades or delays.New homes promise modern design, energy efficiency, fewer bidding wars, and less maintenance. But in a market where brand-new homes regularly exceed $1–3M, not all builders deliver the same quality, transparency, or long-term value. Some excel in craftsmanship and post-close support. Others cut corners, oversell timelines, or leave buyers navigating warranty issues after move-in.In this video, Spencer ranks the most active Bay Area builders based on real client experiences, inspection results, build quality, long-term durability, and post-closing service — not marketing brochures.

You'd get better faster just by being there. But most traders don't have that option. In this episode, I talk about: Why trading offices work so wellHow collaboration accelerates learning and raises standardsTrading buddies vs trading pods and what actually helpsHow I used collaboration throughout my own trading journeyAnd how to recreate the best parts of a trading office without the commute I also reference a great clip from SMB Capital, where Jeff Holden explains why collaboration is such a powerful force in developing traders, especially when trading remotely.

Plus, we tackle the universal question: when exactly does that daily energy slump hit, and why does it always seem so inconvenient?
