We're back with another edition of DBG Times, covering the rockers we lost, milestone album anniversaries, and a packed slate of new releases. In Rockstar Deathdays, we remember Jim Morrison, Jeff LaBar, Gary Corbett, Dick Wagner, Wayne Charvel, Jennifer Finch, and the legendary Ozzy Osbourne. This month's album anniversaries cover an enormous range of rock history. We look back at Heart's Beautiful Broken, Billy Talent's Afraid of Heights, the hard-rock detour of Chrome Division, and the long-awaited New York Dolls comeback album One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This. We also revisit Judas Priest's controversial Ripper Owens era with Demolition, the internal turmoil surrounding the Black Crowes' Three Snakes and One Charm, and Alice Cooper's star-studded Hey Stoopid. Other anniversaries include the killer Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey soundtrack, David Lee Roth's supergroup debut Eat 'Em and Smile, Motörhead's Orgasmatron, Def Leppard's breakthrough-building High 'n' Dry, the Ramones' conflicted Pleasant Dreams, Funkadelic's dark and groundbreaking Maggot Brain, and the heavy Welsh debut from Budgie. We wrap things up with July's new releases, including fresh music from Deep Purple, the Rolling Stones, Smoking Snakes, Tesla, Coven Japan, Zan/Cody, Five Finger Death Punch, and Sinner's twenty-first and final studio album. It's another trip through rock history, loaded with stories, arguments, memories, and plenty of albums worth revisiting. We hope you enjoy DBG Times for July and SHARE with a friend.

Happy Hump Day! There are celebrity weddings... there are relationship disasters... and then there are mornings where The Rizzuto Show somehow manages to cram both into one completely ridiculous daily comedy show.Happy Hump Day! The gang turns an ordinary Wednesday into two-and-a-half hours of relationship debates, questionable life choices, bizarre internet conspiracies, celebrity chaos, weird news, and enough sarcastic commentary to make your therapist schedule a follow-up appointment.Rizz kicks things off by preparing for wisdom tooth surgery while the crew campaigns to revive one of the show's most legendary Radiothon traditions. Naturally, that conversation immediately spirals into fundraising, public roasting, and debating exactly how much money it would take to humiliate someone for a good cause.Technology doesn't fare much better. Rizz accidentally ignores his wife thanks to his Meta smart glasses, proving that answering a phone call during a romantic walk is a surprisingly effective way to lose Husband of the Year honors. That launches a conversation about wearable tech, modern relationships, and whether our gadgets are helping us stay connected—or just creating brand-new ways to get into trouble.Relationship Court officially returns with listener dilemmas involving blended families, difficult exes, parenting, teenage ultimatums, postpartum anxiety, expensive concert tickets, and whether friends are actually obligated to sacrifice their own plans when someone else's night takes an emotional turn. As always, everyone has an opinion, nobody agrees, and somebody inevitably gets roasted.Of course, no morning would be complete without one of the internet's greatest relationship debates. A woman considers ending her relationship because her boyfriend's obsession with potato chips has completely taken over his life. Three bags a day. Crumbs everywhere. Finger dust. Hidden snack stashes. McDonald's instead of local cuisine while traveling overseas. Somehow this turns into one of the funniest—and weirdly most divisive—conversations of the day.Meanwhile, Rafe unveils a brand-new game, Swifty or Shifty, challenging everyone to separate real Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding stories from completely fabricated internet nonsense. Before long, the crew is debating celebrity wedding conspiracies, impossible reception menus, sports legends, billionaire wedding budgets, and whether chicken nuggets topped with caviar should ever exist. Confidence is mandatory. Accuracy is optional.The celebrity chaos keeps rolling as the gang reacts to one of the most unintentionally hilarious concert moments ever, when Paul Stanley delivers an emotional tribute before immediately launching into one of KISS's most awkward song transitions imaginable. From there, the conversation bounces into Green Day's latest music, Sammy Hagar reuniting with Jason Bonham, David Lee Roth's unforgettable Spanish-language album, Harold & Kumar 4, Britney Spears' upcoming biopic, Ali G's return, Jeopardy! hiring clue writers, and The Rock's continued quest to prove he's a dramatic actor.Then it's time for a healthy dose of gaming nostalgia. The crew debates Collider's greatest video games of all time, argues over GoldenEye, Grand Theft Auto, Halo, Pac-Man, Doom, and whether today's players will ever truly own their games again as PlayStation continues moving toward a digital-only future.As if things couldn't get stranger, a Missouri man gets arrested while proudly wearing the promotional T-shirt from the very bail bonds company that had recently gotten him out of jail. That unbelievable mugshot sparks one of the day's most unexpectedly fascinating conversations as the crew dives into how bail bonds, bounty hunters, collateral, and the legal system actually work—complete with Rafe's unforgettable Current River stories and a reminder that showing up for court is generally considered a good idea.Along the way you'll hear conversations about smart glasses, travel compatibility, embarrassing eating habits, floating Missouri rivers, celebrity gossip, rock history, video game nostalgia, weird news, family dynamics, movie trivia, pop culture, listener dilemmas, and plenty of classic Rizz Show tangents where nobody remembers how the conversation started—but everyone is glad it happened anyway.Whether you're here for ridiculous listener stories, celebrity gossip, bizarre internet theories, hilarious fails, or just listening to friends derail every topic imaginable, this daily comedy show delivers exactly the unpredictable chaos you've come to expect from The Rizzuto Show.Thanks for hanging out with us. If today's episode taught us anything, it's that relationships are complicated, potato chips are apparently controversial, celebrity wedding conspiracies have officially gone too far, and maybe don't wear your bail bonds T-shirt for your next mugshot.If you laughed, argued with your speakers, immediately Googled Paul Stanley's awkward stage banter, or started questioning your own snack habits, mission accomplished.Be sure to subscribe and never miss another episode of your favorite daily comedy show.A Marketing Boon For Bail Bonds Business‘Snake the Bigfoot Hunter' claims he unearthed scientific proof of Sasquatch — and DNA shows it's part humanHazelwood snack bar factory to close, lay off hundreds of employeesFollow 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.
If you've ever wondered how one conversation can bounce from Taylor Swift wedding conspiracies to Paul Stanley's unbelievably awkward stage banter before somehow landing on PlayStation drama and David Lee Roth singing in Spanish... congratulations. You've found your people.Today's comedy podcast starts with Rafe unveiling a brand-new game, Swifty or Shifty, to determine who actually knows what's real—and what's internet nonsense—about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding saga. The crew immediately dives back into the ongoing bet over whether the wedding at Madison Square Garden actually counts, because no Rizz Show argument is ever allowed to end peacefully.Then the internet delivers one of the funniest clips imaginable: Paul Stanley honoring the victims of the Manchester bombing... before instantly asking the crowd, "How many girls here like to get licked?" as KISS launches into Lick It Up. The gang completely loses it trying to imagine a worse song transition.From there it's full-speed chaos.The crew debates Collider's list of the greatest video games ever made, argues whether GoldenEye, Grand Theft Auto, Halo, Pac-Man, and Doom got robbed, and discusses Sony's plan to move future PlayStation releases to digital-only media. Does anyone actually own their games anymore? Is everything becoming another subscription? The paranoia is real.In Crap on Celebrities:• Green Day releases new music.• Taylor Swift wedding documentary rumors get shut down.• Sammy Hagar reunites with Jason Bonham.• David Lee Roth's legendary (and very questionable) Spanish-language album gets a birthday.• Jeopardy! is hiring clue writers for up to $178,000.• Ali G returns.• Harold & Kumar 4 is officially happening.• Britney Spears' biopic finds its writer.• The Rock keeps chasing dramatic movie roles.• The gang reminisces about movies filmed in St. Louis.Plus birthdays, Nepo Baby jokes, video game nostalgia, rock history, movie trivia, celebrity gossip, and the kind of sarcastic conversations that somehow make perfect sense after about three cups of coffee.Whether you're here for celebrity chaos, weird news, pop culture arguments, or just listening to friends derail every topic imaginable, this comedy podcast delivers another completely ridiculous morning with The Rizzuto Show.If you laughed, argued with your speakers, or immediately looked up that Paul Stanley clip... mission accomplished.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show weekdays on 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio | St. Louis, MissouriSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Memphis band released that in 1967 (how old were you?) and the song has been redone by David Lee Roth and John Mellencamp among others. It was let out in the beginning of the psychedelic era. You'll also hear my spotlight on Chris Hillman, who was a Byrd, played with The Flying Burrito Bros, Stephen Stills' Manassas, Desert Rose Band, JD Souther and Richie Furay and had success as a solo act. He's a player, for sure. There's even a pair from The Beau Brummels. Get your instrument ready for our first JimJam on this episode. We play The Stones' Lady Jane together.

From backyard parties to rock superstardom!
On daytime MTV, Bon Jovi was becoming the biggest pop-rock act on the planet. Poison was setting the blueprint for everything pop culture now calls hair metal. At the same time, Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth: were building massive and devoted audiences. These two worlds shared MTV, shared tour bills, and shared fans who were being asked to pick a side. That tension is what makes 1986 unlike any other year in metal history.The Glam Explosion That Broke Daytime MTVHere's what happened between 1984 and 1986: metal expanded beyond just being scary.After Quiet Riot became the first hard rock band to score a number-one album in 1984, the genre broke into mainstream consciousness. Then the PMRC Senate hearings of 1985 gave the music a problem: it needed to stop being threatening. By 1986, the solution was in the videos. Make them colorful. Make them fun. Start somewhere relatable: a bedroom, a garage, a studio. Then escalate into an idealized fantasy of concert performance. Replace leather and skulls with neon and teased hair. What had been relegated to late-night Headbangers Ball slots now fit the 3 PM MTV daypart. The music and the medium found each other.Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet is the commercial monument to that shift. Released August 18, 1986, it rolled out singles for nearly a full year after release: “You Give Love a Bad Name” in July, “Livin' on a Prayer” in October, “Wanted Dead or Alive” the following March, “Never Say Goodbye” in June of 1987. Each one was bigger than the last. The year before, Bon Jovi had been opening for Billy Squier. The key differentiator from their earlier work: the arrival of Desmond Child as co-writer on the two biggest singles, bringing professional hit-making infrastructure to what was already a committed band.Poison's Look What the Cat Dragged In was doing the same thing with less money. Their starting address was Enigma Records, home to They Might Be Giants, The Cramps, Dead Milkmen, and Devo. An underground punk label, not a hair metal machine. Capitol entered the picture later, which explains why “Cry Tough” barely moved and “Talk Dirty to Me” became an MTV staple. Poison didn't just succeed with this blueprint; they franchised it.Van Halen's 5150 added keyboards and landed the best Sammy Hagar-era album in the process. David Lee Roth's Eat ‘Em and Smile amplified the campy fun of his Van Halen years into a career highlight. Cinderella's Night Songs made the sharpest glam debut of the year: darker and more concise than anything they'd produce later, before the bluesy detours took over. Jon Bon Jovi helped them record it. That's how fast the food chain was moving in 1986.The Thrash Revolution Running in ParallelHere's the thing about thrash in 1986: it wasn't hidden. Headbangers Ball existed. The magazines covered it. Metallica opened for Ozzy on the Ultimate Sin arena tour. But in the daytime MTV ecosystem, thrash was not the default. If you wanted it, you had to find itMaster of Puppets is eight songs long, 54 minutes, and sounded like nothing on daytime MTV or rock radio. It is heavy and precise and expansive in equal measure: a record where the title track alone runs over eight minutes and earns every second. It was Metallica's third album, the last one with Cliff Burton, and it was recorded without a single thought given to MTV rotation or radio airplay. No videos. No singles. Just the record, and the word that spread through tape trading, zines, college radio metal shows, and the underground networks that thrash metal relied on before the internet existed.What makes 1986 extraordinary is that Metallica wasn't alone. Slayer's Reign in Blood came out the same year: 29 minutes of something faster and more extreme than Master of Puppets, an album that even people who don't follow Slayer know by reputation. Megadeth's Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? completed what might be the single most concentrated year of output from the Big Four of thrash metal: three of the four bands releasing arguably their best records in a twelve-month span. Anthrax didn't have an album in 1986. If they had, it would have been a clean sweep.From the German side of the Atlantic, Kreator's Pleasure to Kill was happening simultaneously: the Teutonic thrash scene developing its own parallel lineage that would eventually be recognized as a pioneer of death and black metal. These weren't crossover acts. They weren't on MTV. But they were building the foundation that would outlast nearly everything in the charts.The thrash revolution of 1986 wasn't a secret, but it was a deliberate choice. Headbangers Ball ran late. Daytime belonged to Poison and Bon Jovi. You could be into both, but at school you were expected to pick a jersey. Admitting you preferred Master of Puppets over Slippery When Wet was a statement, and not everyone in 1986 was ready to make it out loud.Legacy Bands: Update or Resist?Every established metal act in 1986 faced the same question: how much do you change?Judas Priest's Turbo is the case study in what too much looks like. Their tenth album added synthesizer guitars and chased the MTV aesthetic in ways that have remained controversial ever since. Some decent songs are buried in there, but Turbo is the canonical example of a decade-spanning band trying on a new identity because the culture demanded it, and not quite threading the needle.Ozzy Osbourne's The Ultimate Sin represents a different calculation. The image got teased and colorful. The videos fit the 3 PM slot. But the album had Jake E. Lee playing with a flashy intensity that gave it a musical spine the presentation didn't undercut. Ozzy reportedly hated it. Others call it his best solo record: a bridge between his 1970s legacy and the glam-era present that actually holds together. When Metallica opened for Ozzy on the Ultimate Sin arena tour, the lineup said everything about where the genre stood. The scariest band in the underground, opening for a legacy act who'd made himself MTV-friendly. The irony runs deep.Black Sabbath's Seventh Star was never supposed to be a Black Sabbath album. Tony Iommi assembled it as a solo project with Glenn Hughes on vocals, Eric Singer on drums, and Dave Spitz on bass. The label insisted the Sabbath name go on it. The video for “No Stranger to Love” is keyboard-driven and barely resembles Sabbath because, structurally, it isn't. What it is, divorced from its title and backstory, is a genuinely interesting record with a remarkable cast. It has been submitted to multiple DMO polls. It has not yet won. It keeps getting submitted.Iron Maiden's Somewhere in Time added keyboards lightly and reads today as the last album before the tinkering accelerated. Europe's The Final Countdown produced one of the most inescapable songs of the decade and an album none of us heard past the singles. The legacy-band class of 1986 is full of acts choosing between integrity and relevance. The ones who chose wrong are instructive.The Deep Cuts That Shaped Everything (and Nobody Witnessed)Here's the version of 1986 that doesn't show up on year-end lists.In June of that year, a Swedish doom metal band called Candlemass released their debut album, Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, on a label called Black Dragon Records. It did not sell. It did not chart. It was not played on the radio or shown on MTV. It was, by most measurable standards, invisible. What it was doing, quietly and without witnesses, was inventing doom metal as a genre. Every band that has worked in that sonic territory for the past forty years carries a Candlemass debt, whether they know it or not.Guns N' Roses' Live ?!@ Like a Suicide is a different kind of deep cut: a 1986 self-released EP on GN'R's own Uzi Suicide label, predating Appetite for Destruction by a full year. Some people had it. They read about the band in Hit Parader and Circus, bought the cassette, and wrote the band's name on their textbook covers. Then they came home from college and the cassette was gone, lost in a couch cushion somewhere, probably worth a lot of money now. That cassette is a small but perfect metaphor for 1986: the thing you knew about first, the object you can no longer find.The Transformers: The Movie soundtrack connects 1986 to something else entirely: the year metal started showing up in animated children's films, delivered by Stan Bush, Lion, and members of Kick Axe performing as Spectre General. For kids who saw the movie it was a first exposure to the genre. Our Picks, Three Different ArgumentsEvery roundtable eventually comes down to someone having to choose.Poison's Look What the Cat Dragged In. The blueprint for hair metal as a cultural phenomenon. The DIY machine that started on a punk indie label and franchised itself across the next four years. It is not the deepest record of 1986. But it is the one that most completely captures what the year felt like at 3 PM on a Tuesday when MTV was on. That counts for something.Metallica's Master of Puppets is the credibility anchor. The last Cliff Burton record. The document of everything Metallica was before the first video and the commercial pivot. Every move they have made since gets measured against this one, and most of them come up short. The underground case, closed.Ozzy Osbourne's The Ultimate Sin is the legacy act threading the needle correctly, or at least fascinatingly. Jake E. Lee at full power. Ozzy navigating from his 1970s origin into 1986 accessibility in a way that doesn't fully betray either. An album Ozzy reportedly hated. A pick none of us saw coming.That's 1986.Episode Highlights* 0:00: Intro. Why we went back to 1986: the year we were all buying cassettes and picking sides.* 1:52: The Transformers: The Movie soundtrack as a metal gateway. Stan Bush, Lion, and a very upsetting death for 11-year-olds.* 4:07: Cassette-buying memories. Where we each were, financially and musically, in 1986.* 8:08: The PMRC timeline and how hair metal broke onto daytime MTV in 1986, colorful videos replacing darker imagery.* 11:36: Judas Priest's Turbo as the prime example of a legacy band adding keyboards and chasing the MTV moment.* 14:08: 1986 as the greatest single year in thrash metal history. Master of Puppets, Reign in Blood, and Peace Sells all released within months of each other.* 15:02: Walking into Richfield Coliseum for the last 30 seconds of Metallica opening for Ozzy, and genuinely not caring at the time.* 16:04: Listening to Master of Puppets in secret on the school bus while claiming to listen to Bon Jovi or Night Ranger.* 17:28: Why Cinderella's Night Songs holds up: darker and tighter than later work, no big ballad epics, Jon Bon Jovi's behind-the-scenes role.* 20:03: Bon Jovi's rocket-ship year. The full single timeline from You Give Love a Bad Name through Never Say Goodbye, and Desmond Child's co-writing role.* 22:49: Seeing Poison open for Quiet Riot at the Cleveland Agora reopening. Studying the Look What the Cat Dragged In album cover beforehand. Expecting at least one woman in the band.* 25:22: Poison's DIY punk ethic and their unlikely starting home on Enigma Records alongside They Might Be Giants and The Minutemen.* 27:56: Candlemass's Epicus Doomicus Metallicus: doom metal's invisible ground zero, released June 1986, heard by almost nobody.* 30:07: The Guns N' Roses Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide EP story. Buying it before anyone knew who they were, writing GN'R on textbooks, and losing the cassette after college.* 32:11: Queensryche's Rage for Order as a musicians' landmark, more influential among players than general audiences.* 34:43: Black Sabbath's Seventh Star. The Tony Iommi solo album the label forced into being a Sabbath record, and the DMO poll it keeps losing.* 37:44: Vinnie Vincent Invasion: Poison taken to its extreme. Pink guitars, pop DNA at maximum volume, and a singer switcheroo from Robert Fleischman to Mark Slaughter.* 45:08: Buying King Diamond's Fatal Portrait out of sheer fear, based only on a magazine photo with no MTV and no internet.* 52:30: AC/DC's Who Made Who: three new songs, six repackaged tracks, Maximum Overdrive tie-in, and the question of whether it needed to be a full album.* 56:13: The connections bands bucket. Hurricane, London, M.A.R.S., White Tiger, Rough Cutt, Black ‘N Blue: albums bought for who was in them, not what was on them.* 1:03:36: Rough Cutt's “Take a Chance” as an all-time genre standout hiding inside a mediocre album.* 1:07:29: We each name the one album that defines 1986. Three picks, no overlap.* 1:21:07: Chip's poll plug for CJSS's Praise the Loud. Cincinnati power metal. David T. Chastain. Still waiting for its DMO moment.* 1:24:07: Outro.

Everyone has a party story. Host and creator of Personally: Discount Dave (and the Fix) Rebecca Auerbach's involved in a run-in with rock icon David Lee Roth (you know, from Van Halen). At least, that's who he said he was. It's Vancouver. 2005. Becca, a young actor who loves hard and parties harder gets her first big break at a Shakespeare Festival. She's young, she's having fun, party girls are FUNNNNN… Rehydrate, recuperate, recalibrate, repeat. But when her best friend goes on a date with the aging rocker, Becca is on a mission. To get a piece of the action. And maybe it's because she loves rock and roll, or maybe it's because she's trying to fill a hole, but she holds onto that night. And it ultimately leads to her own reckoning. A harrowing and hilarious blend of memoir and auto-fiction, Discount Dave (and the Fix) is the true-ish story of a fake rockstar, a real trial and what it means to stop running, face yourself and fight to heal. Episode one of this series, "I Runneth with the Devil" is an Official Selection of the 2026 Tribeca Audio Festival.More episodes of Discount Dave (and the Fix) are available wherever you get your podcasts, and here: https://link.mgln.ai/DDxPM
Ben Stikeleather, owner and operator of Rowyco Kustoms guitar finishes, joins the show to help the guys analyze “Dirty Movies” from the 1981 Van Halen album Fair Warning! The client list of Ben's company includes Paul Stanley and Nikki Sixx, and like most rockers his and Chris L.'s age, he's also huge VH fan. As is “kustomary” for first-time guests, Ben was given the privilege of picking the song, so he went with a deeper cut off the weakest-selling release of the original six with David Lee Roth on vocals. Was that a risky decision, or were Sweet Surrenders and overswollen boners assured before the voting even began? Listen and find out!

One man spent 50 years at the same radio station. The rest of us can barely commit to a streaming service.This episode of The Rizzuto Show welcomes St. Louis radio icon John Ulett into the studio for a hilarious, nostalgic, and surprisingly emotional conversation about surviving five decades in broadcasting without being fired, arrested, or permanently trapped in a dark cork-covered radio studio.John shares stories from the wild early days of KSHE, when listeners could literally walk up to the station window, steal albums, yell requests, and occasionally terrify overnight DJs. We hear about legendary encounters with future superstars like John Mellencamp, Billy Joel, Brian Adams, Eddie Van Halen, and David Lee Roth before they became household names. Apparently every rock legend passed through St. Louis at some point—and somehow John lived to tell the stories.The gang digs into radio's golden years, discussing everything from bizarre consultant advice to the strange reality of hearing your younger self on old airchecks and realizing you sounded way more serious than you remembered. John opens up about imposter syndrome, career longevity, and what it feels like knowing generations of listeners grew up listening to him. It turns out even a broadcasting legend still worries someone will eventually figure out he has no idea what he's doing. Good news, John: you're among friends.Things get weird when stories surface about obsessive listeners, accidental hot-mic moments, profanity accidentally testing radio delay systems, and one particularly unsettling fan who learned to sound exactly like John and may or may not have wanted to wear his skin as a jacket. Just normal radio stuff.The conversation also dives into John's decades-long role as the Cardinals' PA announcer, including mispronounced player names, emotional rookie debuts, opening day memories, Jack Buck stories, and the pressure of announcing baseball legends in front of thousands of fans. Because apparently public speaking isn't stressful enough unless you're doing it over giant stadium speakers.Then, because The Rizzuto Show cannot leave well enough alone, the entire interview derails into a game called "Sick in the Head," where John and Lern battle to determine who knows more about horrifying medical conditions. Expect discussions of gout, hemorrhoids, shingles, migraines, tetanus, gallstones, sleep apnea, vitamin deficiencies, and enough symptoms to convince every listener they should immediately schedule a doctor's appointment.It's a celebration of radio history, St. Louis memories, friendship, mortality, questionable health choices, and the strange beauty of spending a lifetime entertaining people.If you love classic radio stories, behind-the-scenes broadcasting chaos, Cardinals memories, weird listener encounters, and watching two hypochondriacs become amateur doctors, this episode delivers all of it.This daily comedy show proves that the best stories come from the people who've been around long enough to collect them.Whether you're a longtime listener or discovering The Rizzuto Show for the first time, this daily comedy show is packed with laughs, nostalgia, and enough medical misinformation-adjacent panic to keep you entertained all day.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.

On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen on Johnny Beane TV, we dive into some major praise for Van Halen from one of the world's biggest podcasts! During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe Rogan and investor, mathematician, and physicist Eric Weinstein discussed the impact of Van Halen and the legacy of Eddie Van Halen. Rogan called Van Halen with David Lee Roth "literally a perfect band," saying they were one of the greatest rock bands of all time and a defining part of his high school years. Rogan also argued that Eddie Van Halen never received the mainstream credit he deserved for completely changing the guitar world. The conversation touched on the band's evolution into the Sammy Hagar era, with Rogan noting that while the band became even more popular, it was a different sound from the original Van Halen that revolutionized rock music. Did Eddie Van Halen get the recognition he deserved? Was the original Van Halen the perfect rock band? Join us as we break down Rogan and Eric Weinstein's comments and discuss the lasting impact of the world's most influential guitarist! #VanHalen #EddieVanHalen #JoeRogan #ExclusivelyVanHalen #EricWeinstein
We started First Concert Memories, the monthly series from The Ugly American Werewolf in London Rock Podcast, we wanted to capture the passion of rock fans who were turned on (usually at a young age) by the power of a great live rock show. That passion comes from childhood and teenage fandom of bands that hit you in just the right spot in your heart, mind and time of your life. For our generation, that was Van Halen. The genius of Eddie Van Halen's guitar against the raw vocals of David Lee Roth catapulted the boys into superstardom as they were loved by hard rockers, guitar heads, MTV, adoring females, and record company execs. That's why we can do our 3rd FCM on Van Halen because they were that big and they changed their sets so much over the years (not to mention lineups) that there are lots of entry points depending on your age. Tim Durling of Tim's Vinyl Confessions is just a bit younger than Action Jackson and The Wolf so while our heroes first show was the For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge Tour, Tim first so the fellas on the Balance Tour in 1995. Van Halen were Tim's favorite band but because the band never toured Atlantic Canada where he grew up, there were few opportunities to catch them live. Once he was old enough to drive across the border with his buddies, he finally caught Eddie, Alex, Mike & Sammy in Maine in August of 1995. Tim knows Van Halen and at the time they were still his favorite band. He's even written a book on Sammy Hagar , Red on Black, so seeing his heroes was a dream come true. There were some disappointments with the opening band and the setlist was very heavy on Sammy era. But we never forget our first Van Halen concert and Tim is a rock n roll veteran who knows the real deal when he sees it.

EPISODE #125 - One of the most important people in making Van Halen a successful band was engineer/producer Donn Landee. He served as an engineer on the first six VH albums with David Lee Roth and as an engineer/producer on “5150” and “OU812” during the Sammy Hagar years. Landee was also responsible for building Eddie Van Halen's home studio, 5150. The impact he had on Van Halen was immeasurable. Additionally, he worked alongside producer Ted Templeman on other famous acts like the Doobie Brothers, Little Feat, Nicolette Larson and many others. In tribute, the Daves do a deep dive interview with author Greg Renoff who had conducted several interviews with Landee for his books ("Van Halen Rising" and "Ted Templeman: A Platinum Producer's Life in Music") and an extensive story for Tape Op magazine. A fun Van Halen News segment and colorful mailbag session completes this May episode.Download the podcast for free on Spreaker, iHeartRadio, Spotify, Google podcasts, Amazon Music, Podvine or iTunes.

Today's episode of The Rizzuto Show somehow turns into a full-blown academic collapse as the gang spirals into a chaotic spelling bee competition that proves middle schoolers are smarter than every adult in the room. Seriously… nobody could spell “diarrhea” without looking like they were fighting demons. If you've ever confidently spelled a word wrong in a work email and immediately wanted to move to another country, this episode of your favorite daily comedy show is for you.The crew dives into the insanity of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, where kids are out here spelling words nobody's ever heard while grown adults on this show can barely survive “separate” and “bougie.” Lern absolutely battles for her life trying to spell basic words while Rizzuto and the gang provide the emotional support of raccoons fighting over French fries. Honestly, if spelling counted as cardio, this episode would qualify as CrossFit.Then things shift into celebrity chaos with Crap on Celebrities featuring emotional David Lee Roth stories, Ted Nugent tour updates, Nicolas Cage lying in Elvis Presley's bed, and the heartbreaking realization that Heath Ledger is still gone and we're all still upset about it. Plus: Russell Crowe yelling at autograph hunters, Jerry Seinfeld allegedly crushing a child's spirit, and James Corden once again proving that every rude celebrity rumor about him somehow feels believable.Also in today's mess:Beartooth singer Caleb Shomo publicly comes out and opens up emotionally about his journeyReba McEntire continues being America's favorite redheaded auntRob Base gets remembered properly because “It Takes Two” still slaps at weddingsThe gang debates celebrity jerks and who's secretly awful in real lifeRizz delivers a Dracula impression so powerful it may legally count as theaterThis daily comedy show is packed with celebrity news, hilarious fails, pop culture commentary, weird news, music stories, and the kind of sarcastic group therapy only The Rizzuto Show can provide. If you like funny podcasts, comedy talk, STL humor, and hearing adults completely unravel over third-grade vocabulary words, congratulations — you found your people.Subscribe for more daily chaos from The Rizzuto Show, the funny morning show proudly representing St. Louis one disaster at a time.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The Rizzuto Show returns with another beautifully unhinged episode full of weird news, accidental comedy, and the kind of trivia answers that make you pull your car over just to scream. Seriously… somebody thought David Lee Roth was in The Eagles and now none of us are emotionally okay.This daily comedy show starts with a brand-new thing for society to panic about: gas thieves drilling directly into fuel tanks because apparently old-school siphoning was too much effort. The gang breaks down the story about thieves targeting lifted trucks and SUVs, causing thousands of dollars in damage just to steal about twenty bucks worth of gas. So naturally this evolves into a debate about giant trucks, masculinity, suspiciously aggressive exhaust systems, and whether Punisher stickers should legally count as a cry for help.Rafe talks about finally getting off-street parking in the city like he just achieved generational wealth, while everyone else swaps stories about waking up to mystery dents and STL parking disasters. Nothing says “adult success” quite like not having your car hit overnight.Then the show dives headfirst into one of the most chaotic rounds of “Majority Rules” ever attempted on this daily comedy show. Contestants battle through questions about Ocean's Eleven, Friends, Game of Thrones, The Avengers, Cheers, famous TV vehicles, The Office, and more… with wildly inconsistent results. Some people absolutely dominate. Others sound like they were ambushed awake from a nap behind a Bass Pro Shop.Highlights include:David Lee Roth somehow becoming an EagleThe gang aggressively debating sitcom apartmentsInspector Gadget accidentally entering detective discourseA deeply passionate argument over famous TV vehiclesMadonna carrying the one-name celebrity categoryMultiple contestants panicking in real time on live radioRafe slowly losing control of the game and maybe reality itselfThere's also Pointfest ticket giveaways, birthday shenanigans for Riz, Road to Pointfest winners announced live on-air, and enough sarcastic back-and-forth to qualify as cardio. It's another classic episode of your favorite daily comedy show, powered by caffeine, confusion, and questionable confidence.If you're into funny podcasts, celebrity nonsense, weird news, daily humor, hilarious fails, St. Louis chaos, and a morning show that sounds like a group chat accidentally got FCC approval — 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.
The gang kicks things off with chaos before the coffee even hits — Lern forgets her headphones, Rafe and King Scott recap their suspiciously romantic Alamo Drafthouse “date night,” and somehow a horror movie promo turns into a discussion about cursed wish sticks and meat sandwiches. Totally normal behavior for a daily comedy show.Then the show spirals beautifully into creepy Craigslist tornado bunker ads, haunted South City basements, mannequin roommates named Cheryl, and why every adult still turns into a terrified 9-year-old at the dentist. Add in parallel parking panic, scary medical test notifications, and Apple Store rage, and you've got another emotionally stable episode of the Rizzuto Show comedy podcast.The crew gets hyped for Point Fest, shouts out local band Trevor May & The Nomads, and debates whether they're actually cooler now than they were in high school — which somehow leads to discussions about danglers, acne glow-ups, mysterious coolness rankings, and midlife-crisis trucks. Just a completely reasonable funny podcast conversation.Plus: Rafe gets weirdly philosophical about popularity, Lern overshares in ways no one requested, and the gang proves once again that aging gracefully is for quitters. Then it's straight into celebrity gossip, Tool Sphere rumors, Point Fest excitement, and enough sarcastic life advice to accidentally become a self-help seminar. Gas thieves are apparently leveling up from siphoning to full-on drilling holes in gas tanks, and the gang reacts exactly how you'd expect: with panic, truck jokes, and debates about whether giant lifted trucks are compensation for “something else.” Welcome to your favorite daily comedy podcast.Then the show dives into “Majority Rules,” where listeners attempt to match answers with the crew while Hurricane Chris accidentally invents a brand-new version of The Eagles featuring David Lee Roth. Throw in Game of Thrones confusion, celebrity guessing disasters, Point Fest ticket giveaways, and Rafe barely holding the game together, and you've got another masterpiece of organized nonsense from The Rizzuto Show.

One guy walked onto an active airport runway. Lern walked directly into Vegas with equal confidence. Somehow only one of those decisions involved free pastries and Gwen Stefani.In today's beautifully chaotic episode of your favorite daily comedy show, the gang reacts to the horrifying Denver airport tarmac incident where a man breached security and was tragically sucked into a jet engine during takeoff. Naturally, the conversation immediately spirals into Bigfoot theories, airline seating debates, crop dusting near airplane bathrooms, and why Lern believes she personally serves as in-flight security on Southwest flights. Aviation experts? Absolutely not. Loud opinions? Always.Then Lern gives a full recap of her Las Vegas adventure with Tim, including:Secret Cosmopolitan cocktails that numb your mouthA spiritual pilgrimage for a $40 cronutJamie Rivers flying home aggressively hungoverPoolside nachos and questionable financial decisionsDancing with random realtors until 2AMAccidentally becoming an EMT during No Doubt's Sphere concertCatching a floating orange from the ceiling like it was destiny itselfThe crew also dives into 90s nostalgia and debates what nursing homes will look like for our generation. Spoiler alert: instead of wartime hymns, we'll all be listening to Britney Spears, Lil Jon, No Doubt, and Pearl Jam while someone's grandpa named Skyler explains Tinder lore to the nursing staff.Elsewhere in the episode:A brutal relationship Reddit story sparks a real conversation about abusive marriages, lazy husbands, and why leaving toxic situations is never simpleRussian men are now paying to get cauliflower ears so they look like MMA fighters without ever entering a gymThe show debates whether combat-sports “stolen valor” is somehow even sadder than regular stolen valorCelebrity chaos includes Greta Van Fleet fake breakup drama, Red Hot Chili Peppers cashing in for hundreds of millions, David Lee Roth saying confusing old-man nonsense, and Kevin Hart getting roasted into another dimension on NetflixIt's emotional support chaos wrapped inside a comedy podcast with just enough Vegas dehydration to make everybody question reality.Because nothing says “daily comedy show” quite like:Plane engines.Fake fighter ears.Foam oranges.And a nursing home DJ playing “Get Low.”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/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.NTSB gathering details on Frontier Airlines evacuation after plane hit and killed person in DenverRanking 11 Of The Best Fads Of The 90sAnxious Worriers With This Personality Profile Had 35% Lower Mortality RiskRussian men are literally ‘breaking' their ears to look like MMA fighters‘Ozempic Penis': Males Are Reporting a Surprising New GLP-1 Side EffectSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
A wholesome viral restaurant story somehow turns into celebrity roast breakdowns, Garth Brooks alter egos, and a discussion about a stolen invisible-man porn VHS. So… a normal Tuesday for The Rizzuto Show.In this episode, the crew talks about the viral Vietnamese restaurant owner whose kindness inspired a massive fundraiser, Greta Van Fleet accidentally making fans think they broke up, Red Hot Chili Peppers selling their catalog for enough money to buy several moons, and the absolutely brutal Kevin Hart roast featuring Tom Brady, Shane Gillis, Pete Davidson, and more.Also:✔️ Billy Bob Thornton's weird food issues✔️ David Lee Roth explaining Van Halen logic✔️ MTV getting its own movie✔️ Celebrity alter egos that should've stayed hidden✔️ Ozempic side effects nobody asked for✔️ Peter North appreciation hour somehow happening on live radioSubscribe for more daily chaos, celebrity fails, weird news, music talk, and sarcastic nonsense from St. Louis' favorite morning 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/RizzShowSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
One minute you're ironing a wrinkled prom shirt like a stressed-out dad… the next you're researching which U.S. state will legally let you drive around as “ASS MAN.” Just another totally normal day on The Rizzuto Show — your go-to comedy podcast for daily chaos, questionable decisions, and debates nobody asked for.In this episode, Rizz is deep in prom-prep panic mode while trying to figure out where teenagers take photos that don't involve a “crusty garage backdrop.” Meanwhile, the crew spirals into a full-blown investigation inspired by a classic Seinfeld episode — can you legally get an “Ass Man” license plate, and more importantly… should you? The answers will both surprise you and make you question society as a whole. Spoiler: Vermont is apparently living its best life.Then things get even weirder (shocking, we know). The gang plays a Rotten Tomatoes guessing game that quickly turns into a heated argument about movies, animated loopholes, and whether Tom Hanks is basically the Wayne Gretzky of acting. Add in celebrity chaos, prom nostalgia, random music debates, and a completely unhinged discussion about David Lee Roth's mysterious life choices — and you've got yourself peak daily show energy.Oh, and yes… somehow this all still qualifies as a comedy podcast.If you like your mornings filled with sarcastic humor, pop culture nonsense, and just enough structure to keep the wheels from fully falling off — congrats, you've found your new favoritecomedy 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.
