The Rizzuto Show is preparing for the Glory Hole Challenge, which is already a sentence nobody involved should be particularly proud of.Before Riz sticks his face anywhere questionable, the crew tackles another important milestone of getting older: figuring out which hobbies are officially too dangerous to start now. Skateboarding? Probably. Skiing? Maybe. Water skiing? Enjoy your new meniscus. Playing guitar? Absolutely. Learning the tuba? Sure, assuming everyone else in your house has wronged you somehow.Rafe remembers the time he tried dropping into a half-pipe for a commercial despite having absolutely no business doing so, while Moon offers to teach everyone how to ski before somebody reaches “child death velocity” on the bunny slope. It's the kind of responsible recreational advice you can only get from a funny podcast where one member once got mocked by a child on a scooter.Then the show launches into a full investigation of “normal” behavior. Eating pizza crust first? Jail. Ice cubes in milk? Disturbing. Rewatching the same TV show for the 45th time? Completely acceptable. Eating cereal dry? Depends how comfortable you are looking like a raccoon that found an open pantry. Setting approximately 20 alarms every morning? Rafe would like a word. Looking up a movie's ending while you're still watching it? Lern has her reasons, especially if there's an animal involved.We also learn that some people sit in their cars after arriving home just to enjoy a few precious minutes of solitude, Scott would apparently like to eventually become Amish rather than answer his phone, and grocery shopping without a list is basically allowing the spirits of Schnucks to determine your dinner.And then comes the cheese.Is it acceptable to unwrap a block of cheese and bite directly into it? Lern says yes. Rafe admits he'll sneak a bite but then cut away the evidence like a dairy-based criminal mastermind. Moon understands the temptation. Riz is understandably concerned about everybody. What begins as a simple question somehow turns into an argument about cheese cubes, rectangles, parallelograms, Rubik's Cubes and Michelangelo — until Rafe declares himself a “cheese sculptor” whose teeth are merely the tools of his art.Throw in concert harmonica etiquette, peanut butter burgers, phone habits, restaurant-menu preparation, celebrity chatter and the approaching Glory Hole Challenge, and you have another funny podcast proving that no topic is too insignificant to become a completely unnecessary 20-minute argument.It's The Rizzuto Show: where growing older may bring wisdom, but apparently none of it is being used here.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.

What happens when you spend 58 years wondering about your biological parents, only to discover your dad is five-time Grammy winner Michael McDonald? You get one incredible family story — and then The Rizzuto Show immediately starts wondering whether Dad owes you a check and a chance to go on tour with the Doobie Brothers.This episode starts with the crew absolutely destroying breakfast from Pioneer Cafe in Kirkwood, including Nashville hot chicken hash, the Stellar Hog hash and enough onions to make Rafe question whether the universe personally hates him. And yes, somehow breakfast gets a full culinary breakdown because apparently this comedy podcast is now Diners, Drive-Ins and Dumbasses.Then comes the genuinely wild story of St. Louisan Michael Gessling, who was adopted as a baby after his biological parents conceived him when they were just 14 years old. Decades later, a 23andMe connection helped unravel the mystery of his biological family — including the small detail that his dad is Michael freaking McDonald.Yes. THAT Michael McDonald.The crew digs into the emotional reunion, Michael McDonald becoming an unexpected grandfather, whether his newly discovered son should immediately become an honorary Doobie, and the beautiful vindication this provides for every kid who ever told classmates, “My dad is actually famous.” Somewhere, the kid who claimed his dad invented Nintendo is feeling VERY confident today.Then Lern delivers Crap on Celebrities, and things remain perfectly normal for approximately zero seconds. There's Diddy prison drama, Rick Ross legal news, a Kid Rock project involving Eminem, concert announcements, Eddie Murphy heading toward scripted television, tiny residual checks from beloved '90s TV shows, Grand Theft Auto 6 earning the most predictable mature rating in human history, and Sylvester Stallone looking back at how Rambo went from emotionally damaged Vietnam veteran to extremely muscular explosion delivery system.The crew also debates Bradley Cooper as Duke in the upcoming G.I. Joe world, learns that Duke is apparently a St. Louis native — because this city will claim literally anybody it can — and examines John Cusack's new look with the sensitivity and restraint you've come to expect from us.Which is none.There's also plenty of Halloween movie talk before Porno Birthday somehow delivers the phrase “Gangsta Glory Holes 2,” providing an accidental transition so perfect that no professional writer could responsibly create it.Because waiting on the other side of the break is the Glory Hole Challenge.Riz gets blindfolded. Mystery objects are going through the hole. His face is apparently the designated scientific instrument. Listeners have prizes riding on whether he can identify what's being shoved toward him, and Rafe offers perhaps the least comforting reassurance possible: yes, it's going to be bad.It's another comedy podcast packed with weird family revelations, celebrity news, St. Louis nonsense, breakfast envy and questionable workplace decisions. In other words, another completely normal day with The Rizzuto Show.Come for Michael McDonald's surprise son. Stay because you need to know what they're putting through that hole.That's comedy podcast excellence, unfortunately.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 wheel has spoken, the Glory Hole has returned, and unfortunately for Riz, there's no backing out now.It's time for the Glory Hole Challenge, where Riz gets blindfolded, blasted with Rammstein through his headphones and forced to identify four mystery objects using nothing but his face, mouth, nose and increasingly questionable decision-making skills. Welcome to another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show, where HR stopped returning our calls years ago.First through the hole: the headstock of a Fender Stratocaster signed by Staind. Seems obvious when you can actually SEE it. When you can't, apparently guitar tuners feel a lot like somebody aggressively rubbing a marker across your face. Riz guesses lipstick, a marker and finally “some kind of roller.” All incorrect. Guitar: 1. Riz: 0.Next up is a fake flower that immediately gets shoved into his nose and mouth. Riz knows it's plastic. He knows it's weird. He thinks it could be fake turf, a scrub brush or something sporting-related. Somehow “fake flower” never enters the conversation.Then comes a freshly cut piece of aloe vera. It's wet. It's slimy. It smells weird. Naturally, Riz BITES IT. After wondering whether someone shoved a paintbrush or sex toy through the hole, he finally figures out that he's dealing with a real plant.And then Rafe chooses violence.For the final round, he brings out king oyster and chestnut mushrooms — knowing full well that Riz absolutely HATES mushrooms. Even better, Rafe checked with Riz's wife beforehand, and she happily joined the conspiracy.Riz gets the mushrooms rubbed across his face. He thinks they might be a washcloth. Then maybe a sex toy. Then he starts biting them.Not once.TWICE.The moment he realizes what he's been chewing leads to gagging, near-cursing and enough disgust to make everybody else start gagging too. Meanwhile, Rammstein continues blasting away in the background like the official soundtrack to workplace betrayal.It's another funny podcast featuring a signed guitar to the face, fake foliage up the nose, aloe vera in the mouth and the horrifying discovery that your wife will absolutely help your coworkers weaponize your least-favorite food against you.Four mystery objects entered the Glory Hole. Riz's dignity did not survive.And somehow, against all available evidence, this remains a professional radio program.Just another perfectly normal 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.

It's a big day for The Rizzuto Show as we discover that Michael McDonald has a 58-year-old biological son in St. Louis, debate which hobbies we're officially too old to attempt, and finally send Riz face-first into the Glory Hole Challenge.First, the crew digs into the incredible story of Michael McDonald reconnecting with the son he and his girlfriend placed for adoption when they were teenagers. A DNA test eventually helped bring the family together decades later, giving Michael McDonald a son, grandkids and one of the wildest “so, what does your dad do?” stories imaginable.Then we confront the cruel realities of aging. Is it too late to learn how to skateboard? What about skiing, water skiing or guitar? Rafe recalls attempting to drop into a half-pipe and immediately discovering why grown adults have health insurance, while Lern reveals her harmonica era and the crew debates whether bringing your own instrument to someone else's concert should get you escorted from the premises.We also investigate supposedly “normal” behaviors that might actually make you a psychopath — including eating pizza crust first, setting 20 alarms, looking up movie endings and, most importantly, biting directly into a block of cheese. Rafe admits he'll take a bite and then carefully remove the evidence, which somehow turns him from a cheese criminal into a cheese sculptor.But all roads lead to the Glory Hole.Riz gets blindfolded, Rammstein gets cranked up, and the crew starts feeding mystery objects through the hole for him to identify using only his face, nose and mouth. A signed Fender guitar becomes lipstick. A fake flower becomes Astroturf. Aloe vera gets BITTEN. And then Rafe unveils the grand finale: mushrooms — the food Riz absolutely hates.Naturally, Riz bites those too.Twice.Throw in breakfast hashes, celebrity chaos, questionable workplace decisions and Riz discovering that even his own wife was willing to help orchestrate the mushroom attack, and you've got another perfectly normal episode of The Rizzuto Show.Come for the heartwarming Michael McDonald story. Stay for a grown man unknowingly chewing mushrooms through a hole in a wall.We contain multitudes.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.

Nous parlerons tout d'abord de la rencontre entre les présidents chinois et américain qui a eu lieu la semaine dernière. Ensuite, nous verrons ce que nous avons appris sur le pape Léon XIV lors de sa visite en France. Dans notre section science et technologie, nous nous intéresserons aux appareils qui tiennent compagnie aux patients âgés atteints de démence. Et notre dernière discussion sur l'actualité portera sur Chiikawa, un adorable animé qui est devenu un véritable phénomène culturel en Asie. Il met en scène des personnages simples et mignons qui ressemblent à des animaux et évoluent dans un monde étonnamment sombre et dystopique.   Le reste de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacré à la langue et à la culture françaises. Notre point de grammaire de la semaine sera : The Form of the Past Conditional - The Verbs of the 3rd Group. Nous parlerons du scandale autour du livre C'était ça ou mourir. Selon certains, ce roman à succès aurait été intégralement écrit par une IA. Mais comment en être sûr ? Nous terminerons avec l'expression de la semaine : Faire le poids. Nous discuterons du nouveau Service national volontaire qui est entré en vigueur en septembre. D'une durée de dix mois, il permet à des jeunes de 18 à 25 ans d'effectuer une mission dans l'armée. - Le sommet entre Donald Trump et Xi Jinping : du faste, mais peu de substance - Le pape Léon célèbre trois messes et dirige plusieurs temps de prière en quatre jours - L'IA et les robots tiennent compagnie aux patients atteints de démence sénile - Le phénomène Chiikawa séduit l'Asie et s'étend désormais à l'Occident - Le monde du livre secoué par le scandale autour de l'affaire Thélyson Orélien - Le nouveau Service national volontaire entre en vigueur

It's Thursday, which means we're almost at Friday — except Riz has suddenly remembered that Friday means sticking his face into the Glory Hole Challenge with no sight, no sound, and absolutely no guarantee that whatever touches his face belongs anywhere near a human mouth. So naturally, everyone is extremely supportive by immediately making the situation worse.Welcome to another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show, where Rafe is still celebrating his birthday and discovers that Edible Arrangements has apparently undergone a full rebrand since the days when somebody would send you twelve pounds of cantaloupe on sticks. Ella Langley sent Rafe an upgraded birthday arrangement loaded with mini cheesecakes, chocolate-covered fruit, brownies and enough deceptive desserts to make him forget the word “edible” does not necessarily mean “eat literally everything.”Which is how Rafe ate part of a birthday candle.In his defense, there were edible decorations everywhere. In everyone else's defense, it was very clearly still a candle.The conversation then moves into October's most important annual class war: trick-or-treating etiquette. Is it acceptable to take your kids into another neighborhood for Halloween? What if your neighborhood barely participates? What if the other neighborhood is loaded with rich people handing out king-size candy bars? And if you live behind the gates of a fancy community, do you have a moral obligation to open those gates and let the candy-starved masses inside?Apparently some homeowners think Halloween candy is a finite natural resource that must be protected from outsiders. We respectfully disagree. Open the gates. Release the Reese's.Then we tackle another modern etiquette nightmare: people who buy one coffee, open a laptop and quietly annex a Starbucks table for the next seven hours. How long does one latte actually entitle you to free Wi-Fi and office space? Ninety minutes? Three hours? Until somebody physically removes your charger? The crew debates coffee shop squatters, Zoom calls in public and why basic self-awareness could solve approximately 94% of society's problems.Speaking of phones, restaurants are experimenting with phone-free dining, leading to the obvious question: if a host asked you “phones or no phones?” like it was the old smoking section, which side are you choosing? Lern is willing to go phone-free. Moon mostly wants everybody to stop telling him how to eat dinner. Rafe would apparently prefer to eat alone over a sink in the kitchen while making prolonged eye contact with strangers.Perfectly normal funny podcast behavior.Meanwhile, the TSA has finally identified the problem plaguing American air travel: chairs. Agents checking IDs are being asked to stand, which naturally inspires the crew to wonder whether Riz should also lose his chair in the name of looking more alert and professional. Somehow this detours into Hawk Tuah Girl updates, because this show has never met a conversational exit ramp it couldn't miss.We also preview some October entertainment, including the gloriously ridiculous-looking Street Fighter movie, where Jason Momoa, Cody Rhodes, Eric André and a pile of wrestlers, rappers and actors appear ready to punch the remaining dignity out of cinema. Moon is completely sold, mostly because it appears designed specifically for the 13-year-old portion of his brain that refuses to die.So yes: Glory Hole anxiety, birthday candle consumption, Halloween candy economics, coffee shop squatters, phone-free restaurants, standing TSA agents, Hawk Tuah updates and Street Fighter.Just another funny podcast where we started with Friday plans and somehow ended up reorganizing society.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.

How long could you sit in your workplace break room doing absolutely nothing before somebody noticed? An hour? Maybe two? Well, one former police lieutenant apparently decided to push that experiment all the way to NINE HOURS, and naturally The Rizzuto Show has nothing but questions, admiration and several concerns about the safety of the station coffee.Welcome to another comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show, where we begin with the story of a veteran Burlington police lieutenant accused of spending massive chunks of his shifts sitting in the break room instead of, you know… police-ing. Sometimes it was nine hours. Sometimes he mixed things up and only spent six hours in there before doing three hours of actual work. But while crime may have existed outside those walls, the crew makes one very important observation: crime in that break room was ZERO.Protect and serve, baby.Unfortunately, our break-room hero's story gets considerably less heroic when we learn about an alleged confrontation with the officer who reported him and more than $50,000 in overpayments that he apparently never bothered mentioning. Suddenly the safest coffee station in Vermont has become a very expensive place to sit.Then we move from people who stink at working to people who apparently just… stink.The crew dives into a list ranking rock bands with the worst-smelling fan bases, and it immediately becomes one of those conversations where everybody you've ever seen at a concert is about to catch a stray. Phish takes the top spot, followed by the Grateful Dead and Insane Clown Posse, while GWAR, Primus, Tool, Slipknot, Korn, Pantera, Limp Bizkit, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, Rob Zombie, Deftones and plenty more get dragged into the fragrant festivities.Basically, if you've ever attended a rock festival in August and thought, “What IS that smell?” congratulations — apparently science has finally arrived.This comedy podcast also asks the opposite question: which band has the BEST-smelling fans? Coldplay? The Killers? Santana? Jimmy Buffett? We learn that determining a fan base's aroma involves an alarming amount of discussion about patchouli, weed, mothballs, tequila, feet and minivans.From there, Crap on Celebrities delivers another pile of entertainment chaos. Eddie Vedder surprises fans during a performance of “Hunger Strike,” Alice Cooper discusses his past addiction struggles, Nicolas Cage explains why modern superhero movies have become a little too much like professional wrestling, and Arnold Schwarzenegger is putting on the Santa suit for a new Christmas movie.There's also a debate over what Rizz should watch while he has the house to himself. Mortal Kombat? Barbarian? Normal? Apparently being alone for one evening requires the same level of strategic planning normally reserved for military operations.Plus, we get into Robert Downey Jr.'s painful Iron Man stunt injury, the return of 24 Jump Street, Hugh Jackman heading to Treasure Island, and predictions for the Halloween costumes everybody will be wearing this year.And because October is officially here, the crew lays out the Rizz Show October fundraiser supporting Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital. The Halloweirdo stickers are back, the Rizz Show billboard is hitting the road, Hats of the Week are returning, and Greek Fire is getting involved to help raise money for the kids.So today we've got break-room bandits, smelly Phish fans, Nicolas Cage superhero complaints, questionable Halloween costumes, Rizz's movie-night dilemma and an extremely important reminder that if you're attending a concert anytime soon, maybe hit the deodorant one extra time.Another perfectly normal comedy podcast from Rizz and the gang.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.

Gordon Ramsay is bringing Kitchen Nightmares to Missouri, which immediately has Riz reminiscing about the horrifying realization that he once ate at a restaurant featured on the show. Nothing improves a cherished dining memory quite like watching Gordon Ramsay walk through the kitchen afterward and scream about what was living in the refrigerator.Welcome to another funny show from The Rizzuto Show, where we discuss whether Gordon's legendary rage is mostly an act, why “Gordo” is an underrated nickname and then move directly into the intellectual gauntlet known as the Riz Quiz.The rules are simple: 45 seconds of basic trivia, no skips and one wrong answer ends your run. Sounds easy until someone asks you the capital of France and suddenly Paris becomes forbidden knowledge.The callers battle through questions about guacamole, spiders, Pinocchio, sports, traffic lights and geography for concert tickets. We get some legitimately impressive runs — and then poor Bill steps up looking for redemption and immediately says a dried plum is a raisin.Bill, buddy. We love you. It's a prune.Then the crew decides to play along with a tiebreaker question: How tall is the Space Needle?King Scott guesses 465 feet. Moon guesses 615. Rafe goes with 820.And Lern?12,549 feet.For perspective, the actual answer given on the show is 605 feet. Lern has apparently constructed a Space Needle so massive that visitors need oxygen and possibly clearance from air traffic control. She admits she's “measurement blind,” which quickly becomes one of the great understatements in funny show history.That leads us into a completely reasonable discussion about whether anyone on the show could accurately estimate the height of the studio window, followed by the more concerning question of how everyone would escape if they couldn't use the door. Chairs are considered. The soundproof glass is analyzed. Rafe volunteers to Kool-Aid Man himself through the window because apparently being the show hero now includes testing your body against commercial-grade glass.And somehow that brings us to the incredible story of a University of Georgia student who survived an eight-story fall from an apartment window after dancing on a couch. She reportedly landed on a cushioned metal bench and survived with serious injuries, which has the crew marveling at an unbelievably lucky landing — and wondering who decided furniture belonged directly next to floor-to-ceiling windows in the first place.So we've got Gordon Ramsay, Kitchen Nightmares, trivia meltdowns, Paris confusion, raisins pretending to be prunes, a skyscraper-sized Space Needle and Rafe preparing to launch himself through the studio glass.Just another educational funny show from The Rizzuto Show.We're all learning together.

We kick things off with news that Kitchen Nightmares is filming in Missouri, which has Rizz remembering the horrifying moment he realized he'd eaten at a restaurant featured on Gordon Ramsay's show. Then it's time for the Riz Quiz, where callers discover that common knowledge becomes significantly less common when there's a 45-second clock ticking. We get Paris panic, a dried plum becoming a raisin, Canada's capital becoming Ontario and, eventually, Lern estimating the Space Needle at an extremely reasonable 12,549 feet tall. Actual answer: 605 feet. She was only off by approximately an entire mountain.Meanwhile, a former police lieutenant is accused of clocking in and spending huge chunks of his shifts sitting in the station break room — including stretches of nine hours. Sure, there may have been crime elsewhere, but the crew points out one undeniable statistic: zero murders in that break room. We also rank some of rock's supposedly smelliest fan bases, with Phish, Grateful Dead and Insane Clown Posse fans leading a fragrant list that also drags Tool, Slipknot, Korn, Primus, Limp Bizkit and plenty more into the stink.Then Riz remembers what awaits him on Friday: the Glory Hole Challenge. No sight, no sound, just smell, taste and “face feel.” What could possibly go wrong?Rafe's birthday leftovers also continue when an Edible Arrangement turns dangerous and he accidentally bites into part of a candle because he was told everything was edible. From there, we tackle Halloween's annual neighborhood civil war: is it acceptable to take your kids trick-or-treating somewhere you don't live? The answer from the show is basically yes — especially if the rich neighborhood is hoarding the king-size Reese's behind the gates.Plus, coffee shop squatters, phone-free restaurants, TSA agents losing their chairs, an incredible eight-story fall survival story and enough completely unnecessary arguments to remind everyone why this show should never be trusted with serious decisions.Birthdays, break-room bandits, Glory Hole anxiety, Gordon Ramsay, smelly concert crowds and a 12,000-foot Space Needle — just another perfectly normal episode of 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.Restaurants lock up customers' phones as devices become the 'new cigarettes'Rolling Stone releases top 50 bands with the smelliest fansFlorida judge rips into mom accused of leaving 4 children at home to go on 3-day cruiseSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The physical and political dangers we face from all directions

Comenzaremos el programa discutiendo la actualidad. La primera conversación tratará sobre el encuentro entre los presidentes de China y de Estados Unidos, que tuvo lugar la semana pasada. Después, discutiremos la visita del papa León XIV a Francia. En la sección de ciencia y tecnología, hablaremos de nuevas tecnologías que pueden hacerles compañía a las personas mayores con demencia senil. Y la última discusión de noticias de actualidad tratará sobre Chiikawa, una linda serie japonesa de anime que se ha vuelto un fenómeno cultural en toda Asia. La serie muestra a diversos personajes simples y adorables, que parecen animalitos, desenvolviéndose en un mundo sorprendentemente oscuro y distópico. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, Non-personal forms of a verb. Gerund - Part III, Incorrect uses of the Gerund. En esta conversación hablaremos de la manera en la que hablan algunos políticos españoles en el Parlamento. A muchos les gusta darse importancia, y una manera de hacerlo es usando el gerundio más a menudo de lo que deberían. Y, además, usándolo mal. ¿Será eso su gran ego? Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, La flor y nata. Hablaremos de dos lugares de veraneo en la costa mediterránea andaluza en la que acuden algunos famosos españoles: Sotogrande, en Cádiz, y Marbella, en Málaga. Ambos lugares son espectaculares, pero frecuentados por dos tipos de famosos. Al primero acuden más los que les gusta la privacidad, al segundo acuden más los que les gusta ostentar. La cumbre entre Donald Trump y Xi Jinping ofrece pompa pero poca sustancia El papa León dice tres misas y administra varios servicios religiosos en cuatro días La IA y los robots les hacen compañía a las personas mayores con demencia senil La obsesión con Chiikawa cautiva a Asia y se dirige hacia Occidente Faltas y errores gramaticales de políticos La exclusiva urbanización de Sotogrande

Paul asks the Galatians a question that cuts right to the point: you were running a good race — who cut in on you? Something stopped you. An obstacle, an offense, a person, a setback. And instead of running through it, you stopped. Freedom isn't free because it requires you to keep running — not perfectly, not without fear, but without quitting. Whether it's a marriage that's hard, a sobriety streak that matters, a faith that's gone dry, or a season of parenting that's exhausted you — the instruction is the same: don't stop.Freedom also requires discernment, because people constantly try to take it. Spiritually, the most common version is someone arguing that you're not committed enough, devoted enough, or following the right doctrinal line. Strip all of that down and it's always the same thing — complicating what Paul keeps insisting is simple: faith expressing itself through love.But the deepest thief of freedom isn't other people cutting in on you. It's what you tell yourself. C.S. Lewis made a distinction that matters enormously: there is all the difference in the world between forgiving and excusing. Excusing says there were circumstances, you couldn't help it, you weren't really to blame. Forgiving says — yes, that was wrong. All the way wrong. And I will never hold it against you. Real forgiveness from God is always available. But you have to actually ask for it — not manage it, not explain it, not minimize it. Ask for it.Support the mission of the Salty Pastor ministry!

What has "cut in on" your race — stopped your forward momentum in faith, marriage, sobriety, or growth? Are you still stopped, or running again?2. C.S. Lewis distinguishes between forgiving and excusing. Have you been asking God for forgiveness or for excuses? What's the difference in how that actually feels?3. What's the story you tell yourself — the narrative in your head — that most consistently steals your freedom? How would it change if you actually believed you were fully forgiven?

In 2004, thousands of women applied for a Fox reality show that promised to turn "ugly ducklings" into beauties. It was called The Swan. Contestants spent three months cut off from friends and family while undergoing cosmetic surgery and intense fitness regimens, and most had no idea a beauty pageant was waiting at the end. Now director Erin Lee Carr (Britney vs Spears, Mommy Dead and Dearest) revisits the show in the new Hulu documentary The Swan: Behind the Mirror. She joins H. Alan Scott on Newsweek's Parting Shot podcast to talk about what the show did to the women who lived it, the prizes that came with a tax bill and why she calls the women "patient zero for the internet's appetite to tear [people] apart." Carr also reckons with her own hypocrisy, the audience's role in the judgment and how Ozempic and today's reality TV prove The Swan never really went away. Plus, the answer every woman gave to her final interview question: Would you do it again? "We live in the world that The Swan built, in ways that we like to have outrage about and then comply with."

It's Rafe's birthday, so naturally we celebrate the only way The Rizzuto Show knows how: questionable food choices, terrible opinions and conversations that have absolutely nothing to do with birthdays.The festivities start with Rafe crushing deviled eggs while Blues broadcaster Chris Kerber joins us to talk about his impressive 40-pound weight loss and the lifestyle changes that got him there. Unfortunately, any motivation to eat healthier is immediately destroyed by a rundown of the new food at Blues games, including German nachos, walking tacos, beer cheese and a toasted ravioli burger. Riz also gets humbled by a fellow morning radio personality who has absolutely no idea who he is, and Rafe's birthday feast escalates to vanilla mousse cake and bacon candles.Then we make the mistake of blindly ranking ten legendary rock bands. Metallica becomes the baseline, Queen grabs the top spot, and a series of increasingly bad decisions somehow leaves The Beatles at #10 behind KISS. We attempt to defend this musical felony before diving into the backlash surrounding a George Michael tribute. Rafe's birthday celebration also delivers a new grill and the kind of homeowner haul that says, “Congratulations, you're officially middle-aged.”But the birthday boy isn't done yet. We investigate what was happening in 1978 when Rafe entered the world, revisit forgotten sodas like Ski, Like Cola and Jolt, and discover the northern snakehead — an invasive fish that can breathe air and survive outside the water, because regular fish apparently weren't stressful enough.Plus, we debate who gets the ticket when a self-driving Tesla speeds, react to a horrifying wrong-leg surgery story, discover men needed Pilates renamed “Bro-lates” before they'd consider doing it, and investigate one of the great mysteries of modern frozen cuisine: what happened to the Hot Pocket crisping sleeve?Deviled eggs, birthday presents, rock-band blasphemy, killer fish, Tesla excuses and missing Hot Pocket technology. Happy birthday, Rafe.

Nothing says “credible music journalism” quite like blindly ranking ten legendary rock bands without knowing which one is coming next. Welcome to another comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show, where Queen gets the throne, Metallica becomes the baseline for civilization, and somehow The Beatles end up staring directly at KISS's backside.We kick things off with a blind ranking of some of the biggest rock bands ever: Metallica, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Nirvana, Guns N' Roses, Pink Floyd, Queen, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and KISS. The rules are simple: once you place a band, you're stuck with it. Naturally, this creates an absolutely flawless list that no music fan could possibly have an issue with.Just kidding. It's a disaster.Metallica lands at number five and becomes the dividing line for the entire exercise. The Rolling Stones climb toward the top, AC/DC gets placed too low and immediately causes regret, Queen claims number one, and then The Beatles arrive after almost all the good spots have disappeared. The result? The Beatles finish DEAD LAST behind KISS.Music historians, please direct your complaints somewhere else. We have enough going on.That leads to a bigger Beatles debate as Rafe argues that the band deserves enormous credit for what they changed, but that doesn't mean everybody has to automatically put them at number one. Moon attempts to defend civilization. Lern reveals she does not suffer from “Beatle boner mania.” Somehow Michael McDonald becomes the secret fifth Beatle. This is why nobody lets us curate the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.Speaking of legendary musicians, the crew gets into the backlash surrounding a George Michael tribute featuring performers including Teddy Swims and Sombr. Some viewers were furious with the choices, while the show tries to determine what exactly would have made everybody happy. Adam Lambert gets some love, Andrew Ridgeley's name is miraculously remembered, and Riz discovers his biggest problem with Sombr may simply be that somebody stole the “E” from his name.Then Rafe's birthday completely takes over the studio.The crew surprises him with a brand-new grill for his new house, which immediately raises the question of whether they can fire it up inside the studio. For legal reasons and continued access to oxygen, the answer appears to be no.But the grill is only the beginning. Rafe gets a personal birthday message from Rick of Rick's Ace Hardware — whom Rafe immediately embraces as his new father — along with an Ace bucket loaded with homeowner supplies. It turns out Rafe's previous love for the store traveled up the Ace Hardware corporate ladder and was even shared at a company convention. That's right: Rafe somehow became an Ace Hardware influencer without even trying. Take that, every 22-year-old making sponsored TikToks.There are also homemade deviled eggs, handmade coasters featuring Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and even Rafe's own dog, plus the discovery that Rafe shares a birthday with Monica Bellucci. At this point the man has a grill, deviled eggs, a bucket and Monica Bellucci spiritually connected to him through a calendar. There's nowhere left to go.And because this comedy podcast refuses to stay in one lane, Crap on Celebrities brings even more chaos: Slipknot and Marilyn Manson tour backlash, a Linkin Park documentary, Taylor Swift's former Beverly Hills home hitting the market, Diddy prison reports, Raven-Symoné revealing an extremely specific period routine, a Rick Wakeman concert for rescued bears, a heavy Matthew Perry documentary, and wildly divided reactions to a new Tom Cruise movie.There's rock history, birthday surprises, celebrity news, angry music fans and enough hardware-store enthusiasm to make a suburban dad shed a single tear into his freshly cut lawn.Happy birthday, Rafe. Here's a grill.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.

Rafe's birthday celebration continues, and the man has already eaten six or seven deviled eggs in the studio. So naturally, this episode about health and weight loss is off to a tremendous start.Blues broadcaster Chris Kerber joins the show to wish Rafe a happy birthday — and generously guesses that he's 38 instead of 48 — before Riz notices something considerably different about Kerbs: he's down about 40 pounds.Kerber explains how concerns over his A1C pushed him to change his eating habits rather than immediately go the medication route. He talks about eating better, managing portions, cutting down on late-night meals and adding simple habits like walking after eating. Riz is also down ten pounds, which is fantastic news until everyone starts talking about the spread at the Blues Media Open House.And THAT is where this daily comedy becomes a test of human willpower.Fried green tomato sandwiches. Burgers. Chicken. Bratwurst. German nachos. Beer cheese on potato chips. Chocolate popcorn. Walking tacos served in Doritos bags. And, because St. Louis apparently looked at cardiovascular health and said “not today,” a toasted ravioli burger.Riz somehow avoids eating everything in sight and describes the experience as Temptation Island. Frankly, that man deserves a medal.Kerber also previews the upcoming Blues season, talks about the young roster, the team's tough opening stretch and Logan Mailloux injuring his hand while throwing punches during a preseason game. Plus, Riz Show Night is coming back with a sweet satin jacket, although apparently some fantasy-book promotion is threatening our position atop the Blues theme-night food chain. We will not be dethroned without a completely unnecessary fight.Then the birthday food keeps coming.Brian from Le Bon Boucher arrives with coffee and a vanilla mousse cake for Rafe — immediately earning Rafe the nickname “Vanilla Moose” — along with bacon that becomes his birthday candle. Because regular candles apparently aren't enough when you've already eaten seven deviled eggs.Weight loss, hockey, birthday bacon, arena food and enough deviled eggs to make everyone in the studio nervous about the ventilation system. Just another completely responsible dose of daily comedy from The Rizzuto Show.And yes, Rafe keeps eating.That's commitment to daily comedy. Or gastrointestinal warfare. Could go either way.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.

It's Rafe's birthday, which means the responsible thing to do is celebrate his life by immediately spiraling into invasive fish, medical nightmares, self-driving cars and frozen-food conspiracies. Welcome to another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show, where staying on topic remains more of a suggestion than an actual policy.We start by celebrating the birthday boy and figuring out what was happening in the world when Rafe arrived in 1978. Apparently being born on a certain day of the week says something about your personality, which gives Lern the opportunity to bring astrology into the workplace while everyone else discovers exactly how many days they've been alive. Nothing makes a birthday more festive than confronting the relentless passage of time.Then the crew gets nostalgic over regional soda, including Ski, Like Cola, Jolt and the beverages that somehow survived our childhoods despite looking like they were designed in a laboratory behind a gas station. Ski is expanding farther south, which leads to the important debate: is it actually better than Mountain Dew, or does regional loyalty make everything taste 40% better?Things get considerably more terrifying when Missouri wildlife officials warn anglers about the northern snakehead, an invasive predator that can breathe atmospheric air and survive outside the water. If you catch one, officials want it killed and reported — because apparently we've reached the stage of civilization where the fish can leave the lake. Cool. Great. No concerns there.Then we enter the brave new world of autonomous driving after watching a driver argue with police that his Tesla was technically the one speeding. Unfortunately for him, “the car did it” does not appear to be the legal defense of the century. The crew debates who should actually be responsible when a self-driving vehicle breaks the rules, why everyone suddenly wants to speak to a supervisor, and how close we are to the only autonomous-car feature anybody really wants: getting in, falling asleep and waking up at the destination.Our funny podcast then takes a horrifying turn with a medical malpractice story involving a woman who reportedly went into surgery to have her cancerous right leg amputated — only for the surgical team to remove the healthy left leg instead. Because the cancer still had to be addressed, she ultimately lost both. The crew tries to comprehend how an error that catastrophic could happen despite surgical safety checks and then tackles the impossible question: how much money could possibly compensate someone for a mistake that changes the rest of their life?On a considerably lighter note, men apparently needed Pilates rebranded before we could participate, so welcome to the age of “Bro-lates.” Rafe wants in, Riz questions whether guys should invade the Pilates studio, and Lern explains exactly what happens on a Reformer until every man listening quietly decides maybe stretching at home is fine.We also rank states by natural-disaster misery before arriving at one of the greatest mysteries facing modern America: what happened to the Hot Pocket crisping sleeve?A viral video claims inflation has gotten so bad that Hot Pockets “don't even come with the pocket anymore.” There's just one problem: the pocket is the food. The missing piece is the old microwave crisping sleeve, which was apparently retired years ago while basically nobody noticed. This launches a full investigation into the magical cardboard contraption that somehow made molten pizza lava crispy while leaving the center approximately the temperature of an Antarctic research station.Birthday history, dangerous fish, Tesla courtroom strategies, catastrophic human error, Bro-lates and missing microwave technology — Episode 182 is exactly the kind of daily chaos you expect from The Rizzuto Show.It's a funny podcast. Nobody promised it would make you smarter.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.

What draws us to stories of soldiers and first responders isn't the action — it's the courage. The willingness to face something genuinely frightening and keep doing the job. And every one of those people, at their best, is an echo of the original: the one who looked at what freedom for humanity would cost and said it is finished — because he paid it in full.Paul opens Galatians 5 with a declaration and a command: it is for freedom that Christ has set you free — stand firm. Don't let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Maintaining freedom requires something. It requires the same thing every courageous person in history has needed: the willingness to face fear and act anyway. Freedom isn't a passive state you arrive at. It's something you hold onto actively, against real opposition.What that looks like for most people isn't a battlefield — it's the moment you refuse to complicate a simple faith. A SEAL team in Afghanistan let a goat-herding kid go rather than violate their core value of protecting the innocent, even knowing it would cost them. It did. That's what it looks like to stick with the truth when everything in you wants to make an exception. And in Karachi, a businessman commissioned a 150-foot cross in the middle of a city where being Christian is genuinely dangerous, simply because he believed it. The question worth sitting with is: where does your faith require that kind of courage — and are you finding it?Support the mission of the Salty Pastor ministry!

From the Poltergeist curse to The Wizard of Oz, Hollywood runs on urban legends. But few have been snickered about longer than the baseless rumor involving Richard Gere and a gerbil. Journalist Allen Salkin spent six years investigating it for Gerbil, a new 12-episode podcast from The Hollywood Reporter. He tracked down sources, ordered obscure magazines off eBay and visited Cedars-Sinai in person. Along the way, he debunks much of the story and uncovers an apparent earlier version of the rumor out of Philadelphia. Salkin talks with Newsweek about why the rumor has survived four decades, what Gere's silence has meant for its staying power and what its durability says about the rest of us. Plus, why he doubts a single person started it and why he believes he knows the answer. "What can we learn from the durability of this rumor?"

Another crisp Tuesday morning with The Rizzuto Show begins exactly where all respectable entertainment should: Otis Nixon baseball cards and the mysterious ecosystem living inside the average American junk drawer.Riz remembers opening pack after pack of baseball cards only to discover another Otis Nixon staring back at him, while cleaning out the house uncovers Garbage Pail Kids, mystery keys, dead pens and a remote control belonging to a television nobody can identify. Naturally, this becomes a discussion about stealing your friend's dad's remote as a prank, because this funny podcast remains deeply committed to helping society.Then we head directly into teenage trouble.After a kid's first big party in Columbus gets busted before he can even properly arrive, the crew starts swapping stories about their own first encounters with the cops. We've got bonfires, house parties, teenagers scattering into the woods, ATV escapes, cops waiting at the bottom of cliffs and the timeless adolescent strategy of running first and figuring out where the hell you are later.Back in St. Louis, Rise Adventure Park has officially closed after only a few seasons, and one of its founders suggests St. Louis might simply not be adventurous enough to keep something like a massive four-story obstacle course alive. Lern takes slight offense. Moon investigates. Riz immediately sees an opportunity for a data center. Somewhere, the spirit of local tourism quietly packs its bags.But then we get on an airplane, and everything gets considerably worse.For the second time in roughly a week, the show has to discuss a passenger allegedly engaging in some extremely inappropriate solo activities during a flight — except this time, it's a woman accused of removing her pants during a Baltimore-to-Miami trip. That launches a much bigger debate about public behavior, double standards, accountability, why anyone else on an airplane should ever have to deal with this nonsense, and whether maybe we should just ground all the planes until humanity can prove it deserves them again.Yes, this funny podcast occasionally asks the important questions.And just when everybody gets sufficiently irritated, Riz discovers something called “irritable male syndrome,” which may finally provide middle-aged men everywhere with the medical-sounding excuse they've been waiting for. It's not an official diagnosis, but that certainly isn't going to stop anybody around here from using it immediately.From Otis Nixon and Garbage Pail Kids to teenage cop stories, St. Louis adventures, airborne insanity and getting grumpier with age, this episode is another reminder that The Rizzuto Show can begin with a kitchen drawer and somehow end up involving the FBI.That's not poor planning. That's a 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.

Nothing ruins a beautiful internet story quite like finding out the “concerned neighbor” telling it was actually the guy's daughter wearing a fake identity like a cheap pair of Groucho glasses.Today's comedy podcast kicks off with the wild story of an 81-year-old Texas luggage driver who was reportedly working grueling hours while his wife battled cancer. The internet rallied around him, a GoFundMe exploded to roughly $745,000…and then the whole thing got shut down and refunded after GoFundMe discovered the woman claiming to be a caring local neighbor was actually the couple's daughter.Cool. Cool cool cool.The underlying family hardship was reportedly real, but the fake identity wasn't — which launches Riz, Lern and Moon into the bigger question: does one giant internet lie destroy an otherwise legitimate cause? We also get into the sketchier side of online fundraising, how scammers can target vulnerable people, why the show tries to vet fundraisers before sharing them, and the very important distinction between “I genuinely need help” and “Hey guys, can the entire city buy me some tires?”From there, we do what any responsible morning show would do and immediately start arguing about Back to the Future.The trilogy has somehow survived decades without Hollywood rebooting it into seventeen streaming series, three prequels and a gritty Doc Brown origin story. But Moon has a problem with Back to the Future Part II: old Biff, the sports almanac and an alternate-timeline paradox that he believes breaks the movie's own rules.Riz responds with the scientific precision of a Nobel laureate: wormholes.Case closed.We also discover — or rediscover — the largely forgotten Back to the Future animated series, where Marty McFly gets shoved aside so Doc Brown's kids Jules and Verne can carry a Saturday morning cartoon. Because apparently somebody looked at one of the most beloved movie trilogies ever made and said, “Yeah, but what if we focused on the kids?”Then Pat Smear commits the shocking act of…smoking a cigarette.At a rock awards show.The horror.After Pat lights up onstage during the Nirvana Video Vanguard Award segment at the VMAs, people online apparently have feelings about it. The crew has feelings about people having feelings about it. Along the way we learn Pat Smear's real name, admire his ability to still look cool at 67 and conclude that a guy who played in the Germs, Nirvana and Foo Fighters probably isn't sitting backstage wondering whether Twitter approves of his decisions.This comedy podcast also takes a trip back through September 29th in history, including the debut of MacGyver, the Breaking Bad finale and one absolutely ridiculous day in 1992 when Alice in Chains released Dirt and Stone Temple Pilots released Core. Kids, there used to be a thing called “albums,” and apparently we were spoiled rotten.Then Lern brings the Crap on Celebrities.Rod Stewart announces a final rock tour, Oasis heads to streaming with a reunion documentary, John Mayer prepares a multi-format Sphere residency, Miley Cyrus lands back atop the charts, and we briefly discover how aggravating band names become when nobody knows how the hell they're supposed to be pronounced.Nick Cannon is also bringing cameras into the circus that is raising 12 children with six different women, which naturally leaves everyone wondering when this man sleeps considering he also appears to have approximately 46 jobs.Plus, Tom Cruise randomly makes one worker's day, we remember Saved by the Bell's Mr. Belding, debate some supposedly overrated movies, celebrate celebrity birthdays and once again prove that nostalgia is basically the gasoline keeping this entire show running.It's scams, movies, rock stars, celebrities, questionable logic and grown adults arguing about fictional time-travel mechanics.In other words, another perfectly normal comedy 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.

Just when you think humanity might be turning things around, somebody takes their pants off on an airplane and an Amazon delivery driver allegedly pees on a customer's shoes. Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show.We kick things off with some old-school nostalgia as Otis Nixon baseball cards and Garbage Pail Kids emerge from the junk drawer, which naturally turns into prank ideas, teenage house parties and stories about the first time the crew encountered the cops. Then we head to the friendly skies, where another passenger is accused of getting extremely inappropriate during a flight. At this point, maybe Spirit isn't the problem. Maybe it's all of us.Things somehow get worse on the ground when an Amazon driver is caught on camera allegedly using a New York apartment hallway as his personal restroom — including furniture and a resident's shoes. Amazon reportedly offers a $50 gift card, and the crew debates the appropriate compensation for having your footwear turned into a urinal. Spoiler: fifty bucks ain't cutting it.We also dive into a viral GoFundMe that raised roughly $745,000 for an 81-year-old man working to help cover expenses while his wife battled cancer. Beautiful story… until the “concerned neighbor” who created the fundraiser turned out to actually be the couple's daughter using a fake identity. The money gets refunded, and we debate whether lying about who you are ruins a cause when the underlying hardship is reportedly real.Then Moon attempts to destroy Back to the Future Part II by pointing out a time-travel paradox involving old Biff and the sports almanac. Riz counters with the airtight scientific explanation of “wormholes,” so consider that case closed. Plus, the forgotten Back to the Future cartoon, Pat Smear smoking at the VMAs, celebrity chaos and the realization that apparently even rock stars smoking cigarettes can become an internet controversy.And finally, we test one of humanity's most important skills with Gay Bar or Steakhouse? Callers must decide what kind of establishment they're dealing with based entirely on names like Wildfire, Bourbon and Bones, Tuckaway Tavern and the Iron Bear. Moon becomes a lifeline using geography, vibes and an alarming amount of confidence.Pants-off flights, GoFundMe drama, time-travel arguments, pee-soaked shoes, teenage cop stories and businesses nobody can properly identify — just another completely normal episode of 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.4-Story Aerial Adventure Park Quietly Closes After 4 Seasons as Founder Admits ‘We're Not the Most Adventurous Town'Female Flyer Probed For Mile-High RubHuffPost Life's reporters sift through the health misinformation that's running rampant in the current administration.

Amazon Prime promises fast delivery, convenient shopping and apparently, under very specific circumstances, complimentary urination.Today's funny podcast starts with a New York City Amazon delivery nightmare caught on camera. A driver enters an apartment building, delivers the package and then allegedly decides the hallway is his personal restroom — peeing on furniture, the floor and, most importantly, a resident's shoes.That immediately raises several questions. Why would anyone do this when cameras are basically everywhere? Should you be leaving your shoes outside your apartment in the first place? And exactly how much compensation should you receive when somebody turns your New Balances into a bathroom?Amazon reportedly offered the resident a $50 gift card. He declined. The crew thinks we may need to add another zero.The conversation naturally turns into Moon defending the idea that shoes left in a hallway are basically asking for trouble, Riz defending humanity's ancient tradition of leaving shoes outside, and everybody wondering what amount of money would actually make this situation right. There's also discussion of delivery drivers in New York, the absolute chaos of driving through the city and why everybody cutting everybody else off somehow makes perfect sense.We also revisit Moon's ongoing problem with Reacher: he cannot stop watching the way Alan Ritchson walks. Once you see it, apparently there is no going back.Then this funny podcast becomes a game show with one simple question: Gay Bar or Steakhouse?Lern gives callers names of real establishments from around the country, and they have to decide whether they're looking at a place serving steaks or cocktails. Wildfire. The Albany Beehive. The Corner Pocket. Bourbon and Bones. Tuckaway Tavern. The Iron Bear. The Avenue.Easy, right?Absolutely not.Moon becomes the unofficial expert, using geography, questionable stereotypes, vibes and whatever other evidence he can manufacture to guide callers toward victory. Sometimes his logic is disturbingly effective. Other times, somebody is going home because apparently “Wildfire” does not mean what you think it means.Throw in WWE tickets, A Perfect Circle, Rise Against and Turnstile giveaways, arguments about New York, random Pittsburgh hostility and enough wildly overconfident reasoning to qualify us for several jobs we absolutely should not have, and you've got another completely normal morning with The Rizzuto Show.Amazon deliveries, contaminated shoes and trying to determine what exactly goes on inside a place called the Iron Bear — this funny podcast continues to provide the public service journalism nobody requested.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.

His point is about timing and substance. Roughly six weeks before the midterms, with Trump's approval mired in the low 30s and Republicans distancing themselves from him, a public hearing invites Smith to walk through, on national television, the classified-documents case at Mar-a-Lago and the four-count indictment over efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Hawk notes Smith has said he stands by those decisions and would bring the cases again.Hawk contrasts the hearing with what the Senate is not doing on affordability, gas prices, and the Iran war, and reminds viewers that the only reasons Trump avoided trial were his 2024 win and the Supreme Court's immunity ruling. He previews covering the hearing live on Tuesday.

The problem, as Smith calmly explained and Senator Amy Klobuchar later confirmed, is that Smith was not at a Hawks game in Atlanta at all. He was at a University of Maryland game against the Iowa Hawkeyes to watch Caitlin Clark. Schmitt had confused the Hawks with the Hawkeyes, and his staff's supposed smoking-gun texts did not even mention Atlanta or come from Smith.Hawk walks through the exchange, the reaction from journalists across the spectrum, and the way MAGA media briefly tried to spin the meltdown as a win before the community notes arrived. His larger point: with five weeks to go, this is what Senate Republicans chose to spend their time on.

We're starting the week optimistic… which lasts approximately long enough for Moon to explain how an illness tore through his house, knocked him out of the show and may have eventually reached the dog. Nothing says funny podcast quite like debating DayQuil while discussing a sick Chiweenie.Then Riz gets the ego boost of a lifetime when cops shut down a massive high school house party in his neighborhood and he becomes convinced an officer mistook him for one of the teenagers. We also discover that kids are STILL TPing houses, which leads the dads into giving entirely too much tactical advice about proper toilet-paper throwing. Apparently juvenile pranks are a proud American tradition.Elsewhere, a St. Louis-area substitute teacher loses her job after her OnlyFans account is discovered, kicking off a debate about teachers, side hustles and whether certain professions should be held to different standards. Then things get significantly creepier with stories involving hidden cameras in public bathrooms and a custodian allegedly spying on college athletes from inside a drop ceiling. Humanity continues its undefeated streak of making everything weird.And because this funny podcast tackles the issues that truly matter, we eventually arrive at an argument over burgers. What exactly does “plain cheeseburger” mean? Meat and cheese? Meat and bread? Does “regular” mean toppings? Should you just go to McDonald's if that's what you wanted? Somehow ordering lunch now requires contract negotiations.Add in dead neighborhood fish, 90s music, teenage rock stars, parenting adventures and the usual collection of completely unnecessary side quests, and you've got another perfectly normal 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.

Taylor Swift has new songs, the internet has opinions, and Todd Rundgren apparently woke up ready for violence. He calls Taylor the “pinnacle of mediocrity,” questions her singing, songwriting and dancing, and praises Lady Gaga instead — so naturally our comedy podcast has to determine whether the 78-year-old music legend has a point or is simply yelling at a very successful cloud.Moon has another theory: maybe Taylor is just too happy. We get into why heartbreak, struggle and those giant emotional “mountains” can fuel great songwriting — and what happens when an artist finally gets everything they wanted and has to write songs about being happy instead. Apparently the secret to great art might be having your personal life go horribly wrong. Fantastic.Then it's into the VMAs, where Taylor wins again, Madonna teams up with Sabrina Carpenter, Nirvana gets honored and Riz discovers there are several current pop stars he absolutely cannot identify. We also get Pearl Jam drummer talk, music history and a quick detour into Todd Rundgren's catalog because if you're going to roast Taylor Swift, we're checking your homework too.Finally, this comedy podcast dives into a ranking of the 100 best TV shows of the 21st century. Breaking Bad takes #1, The Wire lands at #2, Game of Thrones is #6 and somehow Better Call Saul sits at #27. Moon also discovers that he can't fully enjoy Reacher because he's too distracted by the way Alan Ritchson walks.Taylor Swift debates, music industry arguments, celebrity news and unnecessary observations about television characters — another perfectly reasonable comedy 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.

Rizz finished dead last in the football picks, which means the punishment wheel is coming for him. Conference room karaoke? Wig week? Crocs mascot week? Truck stop makeover? Whatever happens, he has nobody to blame but himself and his bold strategy of making picks based entirely on his heart.Then this daily podcast gets into a relationship dilemma: should you give your spouse a heads-up before making a major change to your appearance? A husband is upset after his blonde wife unexpectedly comes home brunette, which sends the crew into hair politics. Lern doesn't need permission to change her hair, but she knows Tim hates bangs. Riz admits he once had a terrible reaction when Amelia cut her hair short. And if Tim ever removes his chest hair, Lern would apparently like to be consulted before he transforms himself into a mole rat.Of course, Riz once bought an entire Jeep without telling his wife, so perhaps he shouldn't be leading the seminar on communication.Then we discover getting married now requires approximately the same financial planning as invading a small country. The average U.S. wedding ceremony and reception costs $34,200, with Missouri averaging around $26,000 and Illinois hitting $38,000. Chicago? About $54,000. Suddenly eloping at the courthouse and going to Chili's afterward sounds incredibly romantic.That leads to stories about the fanciest weddings the crew has attended, including one at New York's Plaza Hotel with an Iron Chef rolling sushi, smoking allowed indoors, breakfast served at 4 a.m. and a reported half-million dollars spent on flowers. Meanwhile, most of us are wondering whether the open bar includes domestic beer.Finally, this daily podcast investigates “doppelgänger dating” — the idea that people are often attracted to familiar physical traits and may repeatedly date partners who look strangely similar. The crew compares their own dating histories, discusses couples who eventually start dressing alike, and determines that, yes, plenty of us absolutely have a type.Bad football picks, surprise brunettes, hairy husbands, weddings that cost a down payment and realizing your dating history looks like somebody hit copy and paste — another deeply educational daily 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.

Taylor Swift has new music, and Todd Rundgren has apparently chosen violence. The crew digs into his brutal assessment of Taylor, whether her new songs are actually mediocre, and Moon's theory that maybe she's simply too happy to write the same kind of emotionally charged music. Apparently misery really does love a catchy chorus.Meanwhile, Moon returns after an illness tore through his house and possibly made the jump to the family dog, while Riz gets an unexpected ego boost when cops breaking up a massive teenage house party seemingly mistake him for one of the kids. Sure, buddy. We'll give you this one.Then relationships come under investigation. Should you warn your spouse before completely changing your hair? What happens when Lern's hairy husband suddenly decides to go full mole rat? And why do so many people keep dating partners who look suspiciously like previous partners? We dive into “doppelgänger dating” and discover some of us apparently have a type so specific we're just recasting the same role.We also tackle the horrifying cost of modern weddings, including the national average topping $34,000 and stories of luxury weddings with celebrity chefs, all-night parties and obscene amounts of money spent on flowers. Suddenly the courthouse is looking pretty sexy.Plus, teenage party chaos, parenting stories, celebrity news and an argument over what should be the easiest food order imaginable: a plain cheeseburger. What exactly does “plain” mean? Meat and cheese? Meat and bun? Apparently we need the Supreme Court involved.Taylor Swift debates, household plagues, hairy men, expensive weddings, teenage ragers and grown adults nearly coming to blows over burger toppings — just another perfectly normal episode of 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.Substitute teacher loses job for having an OnlyFans account to pay the bills: ‘Sex sells'‘It's disgusting': Hidden cameras discovered inside restaurant restrooms, employee arrestedOhio Custodian Arrested After Allegedly Hiding In Women's Soccer Team's Locker Room Ceiling And Taking PhotosFive Guys Employee Says a Customer Ordered a “Plain” Cheeseburger — Then Got Angry Because “There's Nothing on It”Instagram's new feature is being called 'humiliating' as users fear it could lead to breakupsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
