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.
We're getting dangerously sincere on today's funny podcast, because former Rizzuto Show intern Courtney Diamond — better known around these parts as Eight Ball — is back in the studio before closing one enormous chapter of her life.Courtney's TaylorMade tribute to Taylor Swift is performing its final show at Delmar Hall, ending a run that grew far beyond where it started. Over the course of TaylorMade, Courtney and the band performed 45 shows across 28 cities, taking the production from its first nervous night at The Wildey Theatre to venues and audiences around the country.Courtney explains that there wasn't one giant dramatic reason. Sometimes you just know when it's time. More importantly, she wanted TaylorMade to end while everyone involved still loved doing it. Apparently “leave while you still enjoy each other” is an option. Somebody should tell every band that has announced a fourth farewell tour.She remembers the pressure surrounding TaylorMade's first performance and the moment she heard the crowd erupt before she even walked onstage. What started with nerves turned into something much bigger, especially for the young Taylor Swift fans who came dressed for the occasion—and the dads sitting off to the side pretending they absolutely weren't getting into it.Naturally, Rizz and Rafe immediately improve Courtney's carefully planned final show by pitching an ending involving Rafe dressed as Travis Kelce carrying her offstage.Things then get suspiciously heartfelt when Rizz asks Courtney how working at The Rizzuto Show affected her life. She credits her time in radio with making her tougher and talks about learning from Moon, Jeff and Lern before revealing something that nearly destroys the entire sarcastic ecosystem of the program: Rizz taught her something genuinely meaningful.Courtney remembers Rizz thanking her for her work at the end of the day when she was an intern and says the experience taught her that no matter how successful you become, you should still treat people well.Everybody quickly makes jokes before Rizz experiences a recognizable human emotion.Thank God.Then we get into the contradiction that makes Courtney's Taylor Swift obsession even better: she's a die-hard '80s hair-metal fan with a Def Leppard tattoo who generally doesn't care for modern pop music.Courtney explains why Swift's songwriting broke through her rock-and-roll defenses, particularly the storytelling and honesty in her lyrics. That inevitably launches the crew into another debate surrounding the business empire attached to Taylor Swift.Variants. Exclusives. Merch drops. Swifties monitoring website changes like NORAD watching the sky.Courtney understands the criticism surrounding the relentless merchandising while also making a fairly important point: nobody is physically forcing you to buy the fifteenth version of an album. Being a Swiftie apparently requires both emotional stamina and a functioning household budget.The funny podcast then dives headfirst into parasocial fandom following the massive attention surrounding Taylor Swift's wedding. Courtney gives her perspective as an actual hardcore fan, including her surprise over aspects of the guest list and the sheer spectacle surrounding the event.Rizz, meanwhile, remains fascinated by fans who drove enormous distances just to stand outside.One mother drove 12 hours from Indianapolis with her daughter to be near the celebration despite having no actual access to the wedding. In extreme heat. After getting the kid out of bed at 2:00 in the morning.Rizz has some thoughts.Courtney admits she understands a little bit of celebrity tourism. Her own honeymoon included visiting Def Leppard-related locations around Sheffield and convincing her extremely patient husband to drive around a village on the off chance they happened to spot bassist Rick Savage.Finally, the conversation returns to the reason Courtney is there—the final TaylorMade show. She explains why knowing the ending was coming gave her time to appreciate the last year, how bittersweet the final performance feels, and why she's both excited and devastated to say goodbye.It's an episode about knowing when to close a chapter, appreciating what you built, fandom getting completely out of control and discovering that underneath all the sarcasm, The Rizzuto Show might actually care about each other.Disgusting.Just the kind of emotional damage you expect from your favorite funny 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.

Who wants to talk about GRIEF! Let's be real -- no one. Which is really strange because we all grieve on varying levels through our lives and it's completely true that we will all experience loss in life. There's world grief right now with a pandemic, national grief with injustice and unrest in our communities and of course the ever-so-heavy: Personal Grief, which we all have to deal with individually. For this episode, Lern sits down to discuss what it can be like losing a parent. She is joined by her colleague and friend, Courtney Diamond, as they chat about what it was like losing their dads. There are interesting similarities and yet unique differences in each of their stories. That is the thing about grief: it's yours. It is unique to your experience and everything that leads up to the moment it hits. Sometimes having a road map, or someone to talk to can help immensely. So sit back, open your hearts and prepare for the grief wave. This episode pairs well with calling your dads (if you still can) but if you can't -- call someone you love very much.
