The Rizzuto Show proudly presents another episode that somehow starts with the Hindenburg disaster and ends with Bob Seger rankings, proving once again that this funny podcast is held together with duct tape, caffeine, and questionable decision-making.Rizz and the gang kick things off talking about local BMX hero and X Games champion Zack Warden ahead of the Show Me BMX Jam at Four Hands. What begins as a wholesome STL success story immediately spirals into everyone remembering how they once thought they could do BMX tricks before realizing gravity exists and hospital bills are expensive.Then things take a historical turn when the crew revisits the legendary Hindenburg disaster broadcast from 1937. The original radio coverage still hits like a truck, and the gang breaks down why hearing genuine emotion on-air was such a massive moment in broadcasting history. Somehow this turns into a discussion about how modern media has basically turned everybody into full-time catastrophe consumers. So… uplifting stuff.Elsewhere in this daily podcast, Lern's mom desperately searches New York City for Mick Jagger while accidentally missing him entirely, the crew debates whether concert ticket prices have officially become criminal activity, and everyone collectively roasts the Missouri State Fair lineup while Illinois quietly flexes on them with a way better roster. Sorry, Missouri. We still love you. Mostly.The gang also dives into misunderstood songs that people somehow turned into wedding classics despite the lyrics being deeply depressing. Turns out “Every Breath You Take” is not romantic, “Semi-Charmed Life” is very much about meth, and “Angel” by Sarah McLachlan absolutely ruined animal shelter commercials forever.Lern introduces the show to Castle Rat — a medieval fantasy doom metal band featuring chainmail, underboob armor, plague doctors, and enough theatrical nonsense to immediately earn the crew's respect. Honestly, if your band doesn't have a dedicated Rat Queen at this point, what are you even doing?Then it's time for a full-on Bob Seger birthday celebration as the crew debates his greatest songs, from “Night Moves” to “Against the Wind” to the inescapable wedding anthem “Old Time Rock and Roll.” Rafe practically turns into a Bob Seger historian while everyone else realizes they know way more Seger songs than they thought.You'll also get Seinfeld episode rankings, AMC's bizarre new live concert theater experiment, Anthony Bourdain movie talk, celebrity chaos, weird news, hilarious fails, and approximately 47 moments that would absolutely confuse anyone listening out of context.In other words: a completely normal episode of your favorite daily comedy show and your favorite comedy podcast from St. Louis.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.
