Break out the cowboy hat, fire up the Trans Am and tell somebody we've got a long way to go and a short time to get there, because Smokey and the Bandit just came roaring back into The Rizzuto Show.Sean and Jason — the men bringing Sheriff Buford T. Justice and Junior Justice back to life — join us in studio to tell one of those stories that starts with people dressing up as beloved movie characters at car shows and somehow ends with cameras rolling on an actual television series.And yes, Sean enters the studio in full Buford T. Justice mode with a lit cigarette.Nobody was going to tell the sheriff no.The guys explain how their Eastbound and Down tribute work eventually led them to Sedalia, Missouri, where they realized the town had exactly the right look for the world they wanted to recreate. Enter Larry Parham, a former police officer who apparently possesses the supernatural ability to make anything happen. Location scouting? Done. Production help? Done. Playing the mayor? Sure, why not. They call him the Wishmaster, which is both an incredible nickname and the exact person every production desperately needs.Jason also reveals the extremely reasonable fact that he owns six Trans Ams.Six.Somewhere, a bald eagle just shed a single tear.The conversation digs into how Jason initially wondered why grown men were dressing like Smokey and the Bandit characters before realizing how much joy and nostalgia the tribute brought people. Fans remember their old Trans Ams. Law-enforcement officers remember being inspired by Buford. Others simply get transported back to watching the movie with their families. What started as reenacting became something much bigger.Then Sean drops one of the coolest stories in the entire episode: he spent a week around Burt Reynolds at a film festival in Valdosta, Georgia, shortly before Reynolds died.Sean remembers hearing Burt tell stories repeatedly throughout the week — except every time he told one, another little detail might appear. Nobody cared that they'd already heard it. It's Burt Reynolds. You sit down and listen.Naturally, that launches this daily comedy into stories about Burt Reynolds being one of the coolest human beings ever assembled, including the legendary tales where Burt wasn't necessarily the hero. And weirdly, that's part of what makes the stories even better.Then we get into Sheriff Justice: The Series itself.The project explores Buford and Junior before the events of Smokey and the Bandit, while working hard to preserve what made Jackie Gleason and Mike Henry's original characters memorable. Sean and Jason talk about respecting those performances rather than turning them into parody, and about receiving support from the families connected to Gleason and Henry.That's a pretty significant stamp of approval when you're stepping into characters people have loved for nearly 50 years.The production is also taking the period details seriously.We're talking vintage cars. Real old-school Detroit steel. Casting calls for vehicles from the era. The evolution toward Buford's iconic Pontiac LeMans. And, naturally, Trans Ams — including Jason's car with Burt Reynolds' autograph on the sun visor.At this point Moon is approximately three minutes away from asking whether he can legally marry a 1977 Trans Am.The guys even get deep into obscure Smokey and the Bandit car trivia, including details involving the original LeMans and its paint. This is where casual fans politely nod while the hardcore fans begin screaming at their radios because THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.Sean and Jason also tease Easter eggs that longtime fans should watch for, explain how production has pushed through some absolutely brutal Missouri heat — including a reported 123-degree heat index during a 14-hour filming day — and discuss finishing the pilot before moving deeper into production.And then Rafe asks the only question that really matters:When do WE get to be in it?Because apparently simply interviewing actors isn't enough anymore. Now The Rizzuto Show would like acting credits.The possibility of coming down to Sedalia as extras quickly becomes the possibility of a speaking role, and suddenly we're discussing SAG cards, Diablo sandwiches and Dr Pepper like this is already a signed contract. Moon, meanwhile, volunteers to “babysit” the Trans Am, which sounds suspiciously like grand theft auto with better manners.The episode also includes an incredible encounter with Paul Williams, who played Little Enos in the original movie. Sean and Jason describe meeting him at a convention, where Williams saw them dressed as Buford and Junior, lit up and immediately slipped right back into character — like everyone had been transported straight back to the original set.Then comes one of the greatest “I've made it” moments imaginable.Sean looks over during production and sees someone dressed exactly like him.His stunt double.That's when this whole crazy journey becomes real: you've gone from tribute appearances and car shows to standing on an actual set while another human being dresses like you because what they're about to do is apparently too dangerous for your insurance policy.This episode is a love letter to Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds, Jackie Gleason, Mike Henry, outrageous cars, practical stunt work and a style of movie comedy that still connects with audiences decades later. It's nostalgia without treating the originals like museum pieces — and the story of a couple of guys whose passion project somehow grew into something much larger.It's also another daily comedy episode where Rafe's childhood obsession may have accidentally resulted in the entire show getting acting work.If this works, we're never going to hear the end of it.So grab a Diablo sandwich and a Dr Pepper, fire up the Trans Am and enjoy some daily comedy with Sean, Jason and The Rizzuto Show.We'll see you eastbound and down.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.

There is an actual Detroit Lions football game tonight! The Daily DLP ventures into much-welcomed game preview territory ahead of Thursday night's preseason opener between the Lions and the Cincinnati Bengals. It's the first opportunity for fans to check out the start of the 2026 Lions. Even though it's an exhibition game that doesn't count in the standings, it's still a very important night for a lot of Lions. Reflecting on the players to watch list published earlier this week, today's Daily expands on broader concepts about the game in Cincinnati. How do the Bengals specifically present opportunities for some of the Lions players battling for roster status? The Bengals are a strict 4-2-5 defense that had the lowest blitz rate in the NFL in 2025, and also sported the 31st-ranked run defense. That creates a good opportunity for the offensive linemen and running backs to show what they can do for Detroit. Because the Lions aren't expected to play any of the players whose jerseys you would see fans wearing to the game, the exhibition opener is all about the depth battles and younger players trying to make names for themselves. For some players, tonight's game might be the last time they ever wear a Lions uniform. It's important to remember that and provide perspective when the game gets into the fourth quarter and even the most ardent Detroit fans are asking, “who is that guy?” This game does have one interesting subplot: the punters. Detroit's Jack Fox and Cincinnati's Ryan Rekhow are each statistically among the best punters ever. It might be an intriguing display of punting and also of using special teams as an evaluation tool for both coaching staffs. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #cincinnatibengals #joeburrow #dancampbell #drewpetzing #mikekafka #blakemiller #sethmclaughlin #colbysorsdal #kairobichaux #jacobsailors #jabarismall #taymartin #tomkennedy #ennisrakestrawjr.

In this episode, Donna and Sam sat down with Tiara Jones, founder of Black Beautiful and Brilliant to discuss how their brand is centering identity, legacy, resilience, and empowering our community.Black Beautiful & Brilliant was created with Black women at the center. It exists as inspiration — to affirm their worth, reflect their power, and remind them of who they are, even in seasons that try to break them. This brand speaks to the woman who shows up, who carries generations, who holds it together, and still chooses to rise.The brand was first imagined by Tiara's late husband, Brian, long before they met. He believed deeply in the brilliance of Black women — in their resilience, intelligence, and ability to create something meaningful even in the face of adversity. He believed Black women deserved to be celebrated boldly and unapologetically, not just for what they endure, but for who they are.To stay up to date on all things Authentically Detroit, click here. THIS WEEK IN THE MICHIGAN CHRONICLE:CONYERS, BURTON, GILMER-HILL HIGHLIGHT NEW MEMBERS TO DETROIT'S LEGISLATIVE CAUCUSMICHIGAN DEMOCRATS RALLY FOR UNITY AFTER CONTENTIOUS PRIMARY Support the showFollow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Kid and El Pres are back in the studio, and Kid isn't exactly arriving with a clear head. A relationship he thought had long-term potential has suddenly gone quiet, leaving him trying to reconcile the comfort of believing he'd found somebody to grow old with against the reality of barely communicating at all. Beneath all the usual Goin' Deep stupidity is something considerably more sincere: the realization that the podcast has always been a place where jokes cover heavier things that don't necessarily get discussed anywhere else. Kid returns from a vintage baseball weekend where the Independents got their asses kicked, the roster looked increasingly aware of its collective age and the team captain missed the festivities after getting sick. The baseball may have been rough, but the friends weekend and general distraction were exactly what Kid needed. That leads into the other major distraction of the week: Foo Fighters in Detroit. Kid and El Pres put the show among the best concerts they've attended, with Kid comparing it against an Eagles show that still holds the championship belt in his personal concert rankings. Queen of the Stone Age gets plenty of love too, along with a tease about an old Josh Homme story involving somebody connected to the show. Then artificial intelligence takes over the studio. Kid starts demonstrating how easily old photographs can now be animated, altered and completely reinvented. An innocent old Goin' Deep studio photo slowly mutates until the original Red Eye looks like he's spent the last decade secretly training for an action movie. That sends the guys into the larger question of whether AI has made fantasy so instantly available that younger people simply aren't impressed by the things that once felt forbidden or exciting. That becomes part of a bigger generational argument. Are younger audiences really less interested in sex scenes? Did growing up with unlimited access to everything fundamentally change what feels provocative? And what happened to the traditional rock star, who once existed in a world without somebody filming every stupid decision from six feet away? El Pres is meanwhile approaching retirement and beginning to imagine life without worrying quite so much about what everybody thinks. Travel enters the picture, including Paris, London, Liverpool, Abbey Road and Ireland, while Kid argues that making those memories with his son could be worth more than anything sitting around the house. There are detours through Buc-ee's chaos, social-media personalities who may or may not resemble AI, old morality films that aged spectacularly badly, Detroit Tigers anxiety, the Dodgers tempting fate, and the strange experience of podcast listeners recognizing Kid away from the microphone and knowing considerably more about his life than expected. And finally, civilization arrives at the question philosophers were apparently too frightened to ask: Why do bangs look like a warning sign? Grok is summoned. Grok is instructed to become less polite. Grok eventually concludes that bangs represent a daily declaration of war against the forehead. That seems scientific enough for this show.

Jeffrey Mosher welcomes back Dwayne Powell Jr., Chief Operating Officer and Managing Partner of Kalamazoo Forward Ventures & Marcel Fable Price, Director of Platform and Programming at Kalamazoo Forward Ventures. Welcome back Dwayne and Marcel. Please remind the Michigan business community about Kalamazoo Forward Ventures and the Tsunami Lab? Many small business owners are nearing retirement. Why is buying an existing business becoming an attractive alternative to starting one from scratch? Tsunami Lab focuses on helping entrepreneurs acquire established businesses rather than launch new ones. How does that approach help protect jobs, preserve local businesses, and strengthen the regional economy? Access to capital is often one of the biggest barriers to business ownership. How is your program helping more entrepreneurs, including women, veterans, and underrepresented founders, overcome that challenge? The first cohort included professionals from a wide range of backgrounds, from engineering and military leadership to nonprofit management. What qualities make someone a strong candidate to successfully take over an existing business? Looking ahead, what are your goals for the next Tsunami Lab cohort, and what would you say to Michigan business owners who may be thinking about selling their companies or entrepreneurs interested in becoming the next generation of owners? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: X.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ Thursday, July 30th, Kalamazoo Forward Ventures graduated the first cohort of Tsunami Lab, an accelerator built to change that math. Thirteen local operators, including a sitting city commissioner, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, a Detroit-native nonprofit exec, and a Kalamazoo Promise grad-turned-tech-sales-pro, completed 14 weeks of training in the mechanics of buying an existing business, from financial due diligence to regional bank financing. The goal: instead of starting from scratch, these graduates are now equipped to step into ownership of established local companies, protect the jobs already there, and keep the wealth those businesses generate in Kalamazoo. The evening drew State Rep. Julie Rogers, who presented tribute plaques to each graduate, members of Kalamazoo Valley Community College, along with regional banking executives, local investors and county commissioners. Michael Davenport, President & CEO of Jireh Metal Products, delivered the keynote. A few graduate names worth noting: Alonzo Wilson II, a Kalamazoo city commissioner, is targeting a legacy business to scale using his industrial engineering background Dave “Brew” Brewer, a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel, is bringing 29 years of large-organization leadership to a Michigan legacy business Stacey R.

The entry-level electric SUV offers front-wheel drive with 201 horsepower, all-wheel drive with 261 horsepower, or a GT variant at 288 horsepower, with AWD costing an extra $3,200 on most trims.BRITAIN'S USED EV SALES RISE 67% TO 110,761 IN SECOND QUARTERBritain's used EV market surged 67% to 110,761 sales in the second quarter of 2026, capturing a record 5.5% share of the used car market and claiming one in every 18 second-hand purchases. Electric cars nearly doubled their market penetration from 3.3% a year earlier as traditional petrol and diesel vehicles continued to dominate with 86.7% of transactions.USED EV VALUES RISE 1.6% IN JULY, FOURTH STRAIGHT MONTHLY GAINThree-year-old battery electric vehicles in the UK gained 1.6% in value during July, marking their fourth consecutive month of growth since March and a cumulative 7% increase of roughly £1,500 per car. Fleet EVs like the Peugeot 208 Electric, Mercedes EQB, VW ID.4, and Tesla Model Y now sell within 14 days, positioning them as the fastest-selling used cars in the market.AUSTRALIAN EV SALES DOUBLE AS PETROL HITS $2.53 A LITREElectric vehicle sales in Australia more than doubled in the second quarter of 2026 as unleaded petrol reached a record $2.53 per litre, making up one in five new cars sold. Market share for fully electric vehicles climbed from 12.25% to over 21% in the first half of 2026, driven primarily by fuel prices rather than policy.EVGO OPENS 350KW FLAGSHIP CHARGING SITE IN DETROIT WITH MEIJER AND GMEVgo opened a 350kW flagship charging station in Detroit with 12 CCS and NACS stalls beneath a canopy, capable of delivering a full charge in as little as 15 minutes and accommodating vehicles towing trailers through pull-through access. The site represents EVgo's vision for charging infrastructure, with the company expecting more than 100 flagship locations online by the end of 2026 after building nearly 2,400 stalls nationwide with GM's backing.GERMAN INSURER REPORTS 12% OF PRIVATE CAR SWITCHES GO ELECTRICGerman insurer HUK Coburg reported that 12% of private vehicle changes switched to battery-electric cars in the second quarter of 2026, more than double the pre-war rate of 6.3%, with 24% of licence holders citing fuel prices since the Iran conflict as motivation. Germany registered 368,000 new BEVs in the first half of 2026 (48% more than 2025) for a 24.8% market share, while Tesla's share among switchers jumped from 5.6% to 12.2% and German brands lost ground except in the used market.SAMSUNG SDI BUYS GM'S 49.99% STAKE IN INDIANA BATTERY VENTURESamsung SDI has acquired General Motors' 49.99% stake in SynergyCells, the Indiana battery venture formed in 2024, citing slower-than-expected EV demand and pivoting the plant to produce cells and modules for energy storage systems rather than GM vehicles. The $3.5 billion venture will still open in 2026, though Samsung SDI and GM have signed a separate agreement to develop next-generation prismatic cells together for possible future EVs.TOKYO RAISES EV SUBSIDY TO 1.3 MILLION YEN PER VEHICLETokyo's metropolitan government raised its electric vehicle subsidy to 1.3 million yen per vehicle with no purchase limit, stackable with national incentives and bonuses for vehicle-to-load capability, charging equipment installation, renewable energy, and solar power usage. The scheme grades manufacturers by subsidy level—Toyota, Nissan, and Honda receive 400,000 yen while BYD receives only 100,000 yen in Tokyo—allowing buyers to potentially pay as little as 2.2 million yen for a 4.8 million yen Toyota bZ4X after stacking both subsidy tiers.FORMULA E SPLITS INTO TWO RACE FORMATS FROM 2026/27From the 2026/27 season, Formula E will run two distinct race formats: the E-Prix Unleashed as a 30-minute sprint with high downforce and no mandatory pit stop, and the conventional E-Prix as a 45-minute race with low-downforce aerodynamics and compulsory pit stops. The split reflects the capabilities of the new GEN4 car, which features permanent all-wheel drive, up to 600kW output, and 0-62 mph acceleration in roughly 1.8 seconds.V ENGINEERING BUILDS 12.4KWH REPLACEMENT BATTERY FOR MCLAREN P1V Engineering, a McLaren specialist based in Berkshire, has developed Project Continuum, a replacement high-voltage hybrid battery for the P1 that stores 12.4kWh compared to the original 4.72kWh while weighing 23kg less and requiring no rewiring. Customer installations will begin in spring 2027 for cars across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States, addressing the 2010-era battery's deterioration after approaching 16 years in service.

Today on the show, we kick off with NFL QB talk on Kyler Murray and JJ McCarthy, Terrion Arnold's legal troubles, and Boomer busting a zero-gravity hoax. Next, Gio calls out "cheating scum," Shannon Elizabeth talks black rhinos, and Boomer champions the "fish sticks" Islanders jersey. Then, we dive into Mike Tirico's broadcasting regrets, Tony Romo's CBS future, and Mike Vrabel dodging a question about therapy. Finally, Gio gets baffled by Chris Berman's missing butt, Tom Brady compares diets with Peyton Manning, we debate a hilarious Moment of the Day slip-up, and Sauce Gardner sues a Detroit contractor.

Gio kicks off the show baffled by a video of Chris Berman walking with seemingly no butt, prompting a flood of calls from listeners trying to explain the phenomenon. Next, C-Lo returns for his final update, featuring Aaron Glenn and Breece Hall live from Jets camp, Tom Brady comparing his diet to Peyton Manning's, and Matthew Schaeffer discussing fan-submitted Islanders jerseys. Today's Moment of the Day questions whether Boomer said "fish sticks" or "fish d***s," before concluding with news that former Jet Sauce Gardner is suing a contractor in Detroit.

The Detroit Lions are built to contend now, and ownership expects more than a 9-8 season. Detroit Lions owner Sheila Hamp emphasized increased roster depth and declared the team a contender, and she clarified that last season's record was not up to the organization's standards after a top-to-bottom review. Are the Detroit Lions legitimate contenders right now? Yes, the standard has moved to contention. Detroit Lions owner Sheila Hamp told Fox 2's Dan Miller that the team has more depth than ever and said they are "definitely going to be a hunter," reflecting an organization ready to win. As Jeff Risdon noted, the combination of top-end talent and improved depth removes excuses. The expectation inside Allen Park is to compete at the top of the NFC. Questions exist, as they do for all 32 teams, but Detroit's roster composition supports a win-now posture. What did Sheila Hamp really say about 9-8? She stated that 9-8 is a winning record but not good enough for the Detroit Lions. Hamp explained that after last season the organization conducted a thorough, top-to-bottom self-assessment, identified several things to improve, and corrected them, aligning the entire building on bringing a winner to Detroit. Context matters. Too many people clipped only the “nine and eight is a winning season” part. The full message rejected complacency and reaffirmed rising standards. As Jeff Risdon emphasized, the owner's tone was engaged and demanding, not satisfied. Which front office moves matter for 2026 roster building? Dwayne Joseph has been promoted to vice president of player personnel, a significant elevation that positions him for future assistant GM or GM consideration and reflects trust in his evaluations. Former offensive tackle Jamarco Jones joined Detroit as a scouting fellow, adding a recent-player lens to the evaluation process during a critical roster-shaping period. These behind-the-scenes changes matter now because they directly touch preseason evaluation, cutdown decisions, practice squad planning, and potential trades. As Jeff Risdon put it, this stretch is about sorting how many at each position to keep and who to shop or stash, and those calls funnel through player personnel and evaluations. What should fans watch in the Lions at Bengals preseason opener? Expect a stress test for the trenches and a fast read on depth. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is expected to play a couple of series, and Cincinnati is focusing on linebackers and a revamped defensive tackle group that will challenge the Detroit Lions offensive line regardless of which unit is on the field. Per Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell, Lions rookie Blake Miller will play, while Lions rookie Tate Ratledge will not. Some Bengals starters will appear, but the night is about Detroit's evaluations more than the score. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #sheilahamp #dancampbell #joeburrow #dwaynejoseph #jamarcojones #danskipper #giovannimanu #bradholmes #johndorsey #tateratledge #blakemiller #cincinnatibengals #detroitlionsoffensiveline Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's show, Norris Howard and I are talking about the massive debate over data centers sweeping Southeast Michigan. From moratoriums to legal battles to recall efforts, local communities are raising real questions about energy, water, and land use. We also talk through the University of Michigan selecting an Ypsilanti Township site for a $1.25 billion supercomputer project with Los Alamos National Lab, the response from longtime Rep. Debbie Dingell, and why the city of Detroit's power grid makes hyperscale data centers a tough sell without huge infrastructure investment. Plus, we address the large amont of listener feedback we received after our recent primary election coverage. We hear you, and we discuss how we're bringing on more guest voices ahead of November to make sure the full range of local viewpoints is represented — as the state of Michigan as a whole voted one way, but Metro Detroit clearly voted another. Finally, we toast a Detroit journalism legend: WDET News Director Jerome Vaughn, who is retiring after many years of guiding local public radio. Norris shares what Jerome's mentorship meant for his own career. REMINDER: Our Summer Studio Open House is this Saturday, August 15, from 10a to 1p at TechTown!

Aaron Glenn is making it clear the Jets will not ease into the season. With the starters set to play in the preseason, Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber explain why Glenn's approach could leave New York better prepared for Week 1 and why the new systems on both sides of the ball make those live reps even more important. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they also debate Dan Campbell's future in Detroit, whether Andy Green is forcing the Mets to reconsider their managerial plans, and the growing excitement around Yankees prospect George Lombard. The Mets' young pitching, Kodai Senga's possible bullpen future, and Bruce Arians' underrated coaching legacy also enter the conversation.
