A special episode from "On The Ground" with Samaritan's Purse As believers, we trust in God—we don’t trust in ourselves or in our own understanding. Franklin Graham joins his daughter-in-law in the studio this week to share updates from across the ministry and how he stays grounded leading Samaritan’s Purse. In a world where it is easy to get bogged down by trials and uncertainty, we are to focus on what is eternal, depending fully on the Lord for strength and direction. In this week’s episode, Franklin Graham shares where Samaritan’s Purse is currently serving around the world—from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Venezuela and Alaska. The focus of Samaritan’s Purse has always been—and will always be—sharing the Gospel with all people. “If we lose sight of our purpose, you get discouraged. And what I mean by purpose is tohelp people, but to do it in Jesus' Name. We want people to know about God's Son, Jesus Christ. So that's our focus, and if one person gets saved, if we're able to help one family, if we can help one group of people, then it's worth it.” – Franklin Graham In reflecting on how Samaritan’s Purse has grown over the past several decades, Graham is continually in awe of God. Graham relies on the Lord for wisdom and discernment—not in his own strength. Kristy asks her father-in-law how he has remained grounded, and he points to familiar verses in Proverbs. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” – Proverbs 3:5-6, NKJV Graham talks about the incredible people God has brought to the ministry over the years. As a leader, Graham prays that staff never lose the heart behind the mission and that the Lord would bring in a new generation of men and women that can receive the baton. It is important to pray for our political leaders, whether we voted for them or not. Graham implores listeners to put allegiances to political parties aside and choose to pray for these leaders. “We're commanded by God to pray for those that are leadership. It doesn't matter whether you're a Republican or Democrat, you pray.” – Franklin Graham If you’d like to keep up to date with more stories from On the Ground, please visitSamaritansPurse.org.

A striking new poll finds Democrat Mary Peltola leading GOP Senator Dan Sullivan by 46-41 in the Alaska Senate race. This is big news: Because quality polling of Alaska is so rare, it's a real indicator that a Senate majority is now truly gettable for Democrats. The poll also finds Trump badly underwater and absolutely tanking with independents—in Alaska! The kicker? The survey was done for AARP by Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio, along with Democratic pollster John Anzalone, so Republicans will take it very seriously. Indeed, GOP panic is worsening: Republicans are privately talking about pulling money out of the Georgia Senate race. Other GOP operatives warn that the party is bleeding Latinos. One GOP strategist expressed the state of play by sending a poop emoji to a Huffpost reporter. And GOP Representative Nancy Mace said: “The midterms are going to be a f--king bloodbath.” We talked to John Anzalone, the Democratic pollster on the Alaska survey. He explains what the numbers really show about Trump's collapse, why he thinks Texas is “real,” and what he still fears could go wrong.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Solar and wind installations are creating local jobs, and towns that invest early tend to see lower long-term energy costs for residents. The best part is you don't need to wait on Washington.

Along the Copper River in south-central Alaska exist tiny outposts and towns that are scattered along its banks. They are communities that have learned to both love and revere its presence. One of those very places was Tazlina, a tiny village of 421 people (1991).Tazlina, the residents thought, was their own little slice of heaven. A remote community that believed they were beyond the reach of the violence they had heard so much about on the news at the dawn of the 21st century. But it would be the summer of 1991 that would change the town forever. One resident would say that they had all deluded themselves into believing that their isolation would protect them and that they really knew each other. But what would be revealed in the months-long investigation headed by the Alaska State Troopers was that evil can reach even the furthest corners of the world.Sponsors:RULARula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.

Skip the banter: 00:06:10 (give or take a min depending on ads)Robert Hansen, known as the Butcher Baker, became one of Alaska's most notorious serial killers after targeting vulnerable women in and around Anchorage and taking them into the wilderness. For years, disappearances, prior allegations, and warning signs failed to bring serious scrutiny, even after 17-year-old Cindy Paulson escaped Hansen and gave Anchorage police a detailed account of her abduction. As investigators connected the murders of women including Sherry Morrow, Paula Goulding, Joanna Messina, and Eklutna Annie, evidence began pointing back to the quiet local baker with a private plane, a hunting background, and an aviation map marked with remote locations. Allison walks us through the Robert Hansen investigation, the failures that delayed it, and the evidence that finally forced authorities to reconsider what women had been telling them for years.Over 150 bonus episodes waiting for YOU: https://www.patreon.com/crimeandcoffeecouple Our Amazon Shop (stuff we like that we share on the show): https://amzn.to/48mohHX All our links (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Merch, etc):https://linktr.ee/crimeandcoffee Facebook Group to discuss episodes:www.facebook.com/groups/crimeandcoffeecouplepodcast/ References available at https://www.crimeandcoffeecouple.com a few days after this podcast airs.

Steve Schmidt joins "The Jim Acosta Show" to talk about how the coalition that elected Donald Trump is "dead, kaput," as 2026 midterm polls show Democrats and independents competitive in red states like Kansas, Idaho, Nebraska and Alaska. With the map expanding into states Republicans usually take for granted, Schmidt argues the coming mandate isn't a love letter to Democrats, it's a demand to make the chaos stop.

Like everyone on Earth, I've been looking back at the work of both Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, in absolute awe of everything they gave us. For this week's episode of The Sewers of Paris, we're revisiting an interview that touched on both Dolly and Tim: My 2018 conversation with the drag performer who now goes by Alaska, and her longtime friend and collaborator Jeremy Mikush. We talk about all about their early influences, watching Rocky Horror together on a little laptop screen, and also the creation of the Alaska drag-sona, the time they sang Dolly Parton songs so loud the cops were called, and also how Alaska bombed her first audition for Drag Race.We'll have that interview in a moment. First a quick heads up that I'll be a guest at the pop culture convention Ancient City Con in Florida next weekend, September 25, 26, and 27. I hope to see you there!And! I have a new video up on YouTube about Dolly Parton's surprising connection to the gay community… and I have a video coming this weekend about the many ways in which Tim Curry shaped our lives.

Featuring: Mike Levy, Josh Ross, Lisa Charlebois, and Logan Jones-Wilkins We answer your questions, debate the real-world value of aero bottle cages, and discuss why it makes sense to ride 500km for tacos. We've had some major topics on the show the last few weeks, so this week we are taking a step back a little and answering some questions. We read every comment, and Logan Jones-Wilkins, Lisa Charlebois, and I will often jump in to respond. Mike Levy also reads them, but he actually brings the comments to the show so we can answer them out loud, so to speak. Before we get to that, though, Levy starts with a question: Have you ever done a ride just for the sake of going somewhere dumb and unimportant? I've (Josh Ross) had this idea for years to ride from Los Angeles to the Mexican border for tacos, then back. It's a 500km ride, and there's no real point other than to ride a bike. Lael Wilcox once rode all the roads in Alaska for a similar reason. The whole crew is on this week, so we get to talk about our silly reasons for big rides. Let us know in the comments if you've ever done anything like that. Or, if you are like Logan and just ride for training, let us know that too. We also have some news to talk about. Mostly, it comes down to Logan and me (Josh Ross) trying to convince Lisa and Mike that aero matters. For Logan, it's all about aero gravel tires. He went very deep into the weeds in his article, and there's a good reason for that. Then it's my turn to talk about the Enve Melee V2 and why it features aero bar tape and aero bottle cages. I also have a question that I am hoping you can help me answer. To participate you'll have to jump to the [Velo website], but the question is: Would you choose a bike that is 1.6 watts more aero or a bike that is 1kg lighter? Give me the Factor One. I will gladly take a 1kg weight penalty to gain 1.6 watts of aero efficiency. Give me the Enve Melee. Saving 1kg is far more important to how I ride than 1.6 watts of aero efficiency. I am choosing the Enve Melee purely based on aesthetics. Regardless of the aero advantage, I would not pick the Factor One because of how it looks. I am choosing the Factor One. I want the 1.6 watts of free speed, and I actually prefer the aggressive aero styling over a traditional frame. The Velo Podcast wouldn't happen without subscribers.

Adjust.Dave breaks down the five levels of customer awareness and why most clinic marketing tries to move people from attention directly to a purchase before earning enough trust.Jimmy takes a painfully traditional physical therapy job posting and attacks it through a Ryan Reynolds-style lens: stop trying to appeal to everybody and start making the RIGHT person lean in.That leads to an even harder problem: how do you recruit a certified hand therapist to Alaska?Then Tony finds a fascinating social-media example involving an 88-year-old aspiring basketball player and asks whether physical therapy clinics are missing an enormous content opportunity by making themselves the hero instead of their patients.The conversation also covers:• Marketing to different levels of awareness• Attention → Trust → Action• Why six to twelve exposures may matter more than one great ad• Recruiting for difficult PT positions• Using social media instead of relying entirely on Indeed• Making geography part of the recruiting pitch• Patient-led storytelling• Building recurring content series• Creating content buckets that reduce mental load• Why expertise starts to look automatic• Delegating lead follow-up and scheduling• Using offshore virtual assistants• Testing inexpensive solutions before scaling them• Why imperfect action beats analysis paralysisPT Breakfast Club is hosted by Jimmy McKay, Tony Maritato and Dave Kittle.Follow Tony Maritato on YouTube at Total Therapy Solution.Find Dave Kittle at ConciergePainRelief.com and on YouTube at The Dave Kittle Show.Follow Jimmy McKay and PT Pintcast wherever you listen to podcasts and across social media.This conversation is for entertainment and discussion only, not medical, legal, billing or business advice.

What happens when you build your life around the things that make you come alive - not someday, but right now? Monica Aguilar, known on trail as "Moss," is an artist, long-distance hiker, and everyday explorer who has intentionally built a flexible life around creativity and adventure. After graduating from UMass Amherst, she spent a season working in Alaska before thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2018. Since then, she's continued exploring on foot and by bike, including the Pacific Crest Trail and more than 3,000 miles on the Continental Divide Trail. In this conversation, Monica and I talk about what keeps drawing her back to long trails - the community, the challenge, the highest highs and lowest lows, and the chance to experience a place slowly rather than simply passing through it. We also get into fear and risk, including difficult snow travel on the PCT and the decision to change course in Colorado's San Juans when challenge began moving beyond her comfort zone. But Monica's story is also about designing a life around what matters. She's built enough flexibility into her work, spending, and art business to disappear onto a trail for months at a time while still saving for what she calls "future Moss." That philosophy overlaps beautifully with something I talk about often: living your great life right now without ignoring the future. We also explore the connection between adventure and Monica's art. Through Chasing Trails Art, she creates murals, window paintings, and nature-inspired work influenced by the places she encounters along the way. Even there, she finds another version of doing hard things - the uncertainty and struggle of creating something that didn't exist before.

She has thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail and Pacific Crest Trail and completed more than 3,000 miles on the Continental Divide Trail. Through Chasing Trails Art, Monica creates murals, seasonal window paintings, and nature-inspired artwork drawn from the landscapes and experiences she encounters along the way.

Here's something worth celebrating. In most of the world, clean energy is now the cheapest electricity ever produced. Solar and wind cost less to build and run than anything that came before, and those prices keep dropping. That means lower bills, cleaner air, and good jobs, often right in your own community. The future we've been hoping for is already showing up on the grid. And here's the best part. You have a real say in how fast it arrives. So much of this is decided close to home, by city councils, county boards, utility commissions, and state representatives. These are the people who choose what gets built and how quickly your neighborhood feels the benefits. When you show up, they listen. So vote in every election, especially the local ones. Get to know where the folks on your ballot stand on clean energy, and cheer on the ones moving things forward. Talk to your neighbors. Show up to a meeting. Every voice adds momentum, and momentum is exactly what turns a bright possibility into the world we live in. The music will always be here. Let's build a future worth playing it in.

Patrick Rieger emailed: "A New Band! Devil Take the Women Hi Marc, Some exciting news here in Pittsburgh for people who like Irish music. An Irish band formed just a few years ago, Devil Take the Women, the name taken from "Whiskey in the Jar". The band is made up of Lauren on acoustic guitar and main vocals, Megan on fiddle and vocals, and Chris on the drums. The Irish bands and musicians I have seen and heard about in Pittsburgh have been around for many years. So to have a new band is pretty cool. My family and I, plus our friend Abby, saw Devil Take the Women for the first time on July 18 at Mullaney's Harp & Fiddle Irish Pub, and it was a great show. They have lots of energy, and a great stage personality. They throw in a few non - Irish songs from time to time, but most of the time it's Irish, which is good for us who have not been happy with the decline in the amount of Irish music played in the pubs for a number of years. We will be seeing them again, and hopefully get some more friends to join us." Martha Clancy emailed: "Hi Marc, I am a Celtic harpist Interested in your e - book about how to promote music in the digital age. You have actually featured me in the past. I used to be able to make money with my CDs on Qvc network and other outlets but now find it very difficult. I have composed many songs in the traditional manner which I would like to promote and find a way to make an income stream with the music I've already produced. I have four CDs I have collaborated on several others. Someone has put much of my music on iTunes which you can search Martha Clancy and iTunes for but I don't get any income from that.

Photo: Flooding in Chinle on the Navajo Nation prompted evacuations this week. (Courtesy Shawna Ann Claw / Facebook) Three people are dead after they were washed away in a flood on the Navajo Nation just after midnight on Wednesday. As KNAU's Chris Clements reports, several communities are dealing with damage from the recent rainfall. Navajo police responded to reports that two adults and a juvenile were swept away by floodwaters near the Newcomb, New Mexico area shortly after midnight. Search and rescue crews found the three dead after searching the area into the early morning hours. Investigators say they drowned. Several Navajo communities are dealing with flooding, including Chinle and Many Farms. Officials have not released details about any damage or injuries. They urge residents along Highway 191 between mileposts 451 to 454 and other low terrain flood zones to evacuate. Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren signed an emergency declaration in response to the flooding. He said tribal members should use extreme caution around flooded roads and washes, adding that conditions can change quickly.

(Photo: Wonderlane / Flickr) The Alaska Federation of Natives is holding a series of listening sessions focused on the priorities, concerns, and values Alaska Native people want reflected in subsistence management. A session was held Wednesday at the NANA Regional Corporation office building in Anchorage, following earlier meetings in Bethel, Fairbanks, and Nome. Additional sessions are scheduled September 21 in Juneau, September 28 in Ketchikan, and October 1 in Copper Center. AFN says the sessions are intended to hear directly from communities about the challenges facing subsistence users and the principles and values that should guide future changes. People can also submit feedback to AFN online. (Courtesy American Indian College Fund) A new Brookings report says federal cuts and meager philanthropic support are widening long-standing funding gaps across Nebraska and Indian Country, threatening education, health care, infrastructure, and economic development, as Mark Richardson reports. The analysis calls for stable federal funding and sustained investment in Native-led institutions, including Tribal Colleges and Universities. Comments came from Little Priest Tribal College president Manoj Patil from Winnebago, Nebraska, American Indian College Fund president and CEO Cheryl Crazy Bull, and Rob Maxim, the report’s author and a fellow at The Brookings Institution. The pressure is especially sharp in higher education. The Brookings Institution and the American Indian College Fund released the analysis. Patil says pandemic-era investments brought temporary gains to Native colleges, but recent federal actions have reversed much of that momentum. “This constant threat of funding cuts impedes our growth because we are not sure whether to be aggressive in offering new programs or to be careful. That’s the biggest issue we face.” Patil adds there are only 34 TCUs in the U-S and Little Priest is one of only two such institutions in Nebraska. He says every $1.00 invested in TCUs returns $1.60 in tax revenue, benefiting both Native and non-Native communities. American Indian College Fund President Cheryl Crazy Bull says the report provides significant evidence of chronic underfunding by the federal government, despite trust and treaty obligations to Native Americans. “You can’t really have this self-determination in the Native community without being a culturally grounded, well-educated person.” Maxim osays high-profile figures like Amazon co-founder MacKenzie Scott will occasionally step up with notable contributions to Indian Country, but he says it is rare. “It is really hard for Tribal leaders themselves, for Native-serving institutions to make decisions based on the lack of data that’s out there.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

Send us Fan MailThis one comes with a guest. Joe Cheshire jumps in and suddenly we're swapping old Air Force stories, talking sponsors, Lakenheath, Alaska, Florida, mountains versus beaches, British towns, drunken Bury nights, and the kind of military memories that make you realize none of us have changed that much. Robby also talks bar life, raising kids, empty-nester plans, and why pouring beer is still the superior bartending skill. Then the conversation drifts exactly where you'd expect: AI, artists versus generated images, whether Skynet is inevitable, Terminator, The Matrix, lizard people, conspiracy-theory military instructors, and the fine educational tradition of counting how many times an instructor says “fuck” during class. Support the show

Federico e Isabel comentan la actualidad del corazón con Alaska y Daniel Carande.

Photo: A “Vote Here” sign outside an election polling place at Woodbury City Hall in Woodbury, Minnesota, during the 2020 general election. (Tony Webster / Wikimedia) Indigenous people continue to face barriers throughout the election process. That is according to a new report that says those challenges can begin well before a voter reaches the ballot box. For the Mountain West News Bureau, Daniel Spaulding has more. The report from the Native American Rights Fund says voting disparities have deep historical roots. NARF analyzed federal data from 2020 through 2024 and found issues ranging from voter registration rejections to difficulties with mail-in ballots. In counties where Native Americans make up at least a quarter of the population, rejected voter registration applications increased by an average of 200%. Allison Neswood (Navajo) is a senior staff attorney at NARF. “Voting is not just one act. It's a series of steps and the report illustrates that Native people are more likely to get hung up every step along the way.” Neswood says addressing those issues will require greater investment in voting infrastructure across Indian Country. The study focused on counties with high Native populations, including Arizona's Apache and Navajo counties – and New Mexico's Cibola, McKinley, and San Juan counties. Young drummers from the Kingikmiut Dance Group wait to perform at the 25th Annual Kingikmiut Dance Festival. (Photo: Margaret Sutherland / KNOM) Dance groups from across the Bering Strait region gathered in Wales, Alaska last weekend for the Kingikmiut Dance Festival. The event marked a quarter century of teaching and sharing songs and dances that leaders say had been absent from some communities for decades. KNOM's Margaret Sutherland traveled to the remote village for this story. On the first night of the Kingikmiut Dance Festival, fog settles over the runway in Wales. Three of the five scheduled visiting groups are grounded: Gambell, Savoonga, and Brevig Mission. But inside the Kingikmiut School gym, the festival began anyway with groups from Wales and Unalakleet. The Kingikmiut Dance Group from Wales takes its place in the center of the gym. Frank Komonaseak, center, dances during the 25th Annual Kingikmiut Dance Festival. (Photo: Margaret Sutherland / KNOM) Drummers sit in a line, holding skin drums in front of them as they sing together while dancers move out front, following the songs. Sixteen-year-old Cain Seetook is one of the younger Kingikmiut drummers. “It heals my hurt and makes me happy. And I don't know. That's just it.” Seetook says he has been drumming since he was about one year old and practices with the Kingikmiut group once or twice a week. His cousin, 15-year-old Frank Komonaseak, is also part of the group, rotating between the drum line and the dance floor. “It feels good to be dancing again. It's an honor to be in this dance group again, to be singing and dancing. I grew up doing it, and I'm proud of who I am, and I'm proud of my cousins because they're all good dancers too.” Komonaseak moved back to Wales about a year ago after living in Anchorage for several years. He says he stopped dancing while he was away. When he returned, he went to practice and began relearning the songs. “It is really sad to not have dancing, because I don't think I can go a week without Eskimo dancing, because that's how much I love it.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

We played Joel Skousen's Exit & Build 2 keynote a while back and the response was huge. In that talk, Joel mentions a workshop he was giving the next day. A lot of you wrote in asking to hear it. It was an exclusive Sunday session. Never released publicly until now. This is Joel getting into the mechanics of Strategic Relocation. How to read the threat maps and narrow the whole country down to two or three states. What his state ratings actually measure: population density, private land availability, building permits, statewide land use planning, growing season, water quality, taxes, corruption, crime, personal liberty, gun rights, alternative medicine freedom, homeschooling freedom, and proximity to military targets. Then he gets into basements, which turns into one of the most practical stretches of the session. Which states actually build them, why most of the South doesn't, and how to get one poured anyway without paying ten times what it should cost. Then he opens the floor. Real people with real properties asking about their actual situations. Alaska. The Upper Peninsula. Northern British Columbia. Georgia. Kentucky. West Virginia. A woman living off grid in a yurt in California asking whether there's any way to stay. A doctor asking where a physician can still practice freely. Somebody asking about burying a shipping container as a shelter.

Join our next FASO Show Live!https://artists.boldbrush.com/p/the-faso-showLearn the magic of marketing  with us here at BoldBrush!boldbrushshow.com--For today's episode we sat down with JM Brodrick, a wildlife painter originally from Detroit, Michigan, who trained early under her Finnish grandmother and now creates large, ethereal acrylic works that often get mistaken for oils. She explains her deep connection to wildlife—especially birds and white animals—and how she merges realism with abstraction, inspired by double-negative film accidents and her dislike of traditional, detailed backgrounds. JM describes her years in Fairbanks, Alaska, where she balanced single motherhood, a full-time career in commercial insurance, and work as a composite artist for law enforcement, all while steadily pursuing her art on evenings and weekends. She talks about the fear and liberation of going full-time in 2005, emphasizing how competitions, self-criticism, and painting faster pushed her to continually “up her game.” As business advice, she recommends watching the market while staying true to your voice, using an 80/20 balance between gallery-friendly work and more experimental competition pieces, and always investing in archival, professional materials. For artists who want to go full-time, her core guidance is to never give up on yourself, build strong drawing and color foundations, learn from “failed” paintings, be disciplined with time, and accept that a job along the way can be part of what ultimately makes you a better, more resilient artist. Finally, JM tells us about her upcoming participation at an exhibition with the American Professional Artists League at the Salmagundi Club and an upcoming group show at Cole Gallery.JM's FASO website:jmbrodrick.com/JM's Instagram:instagram.com/j.m.brodrick/

Somehow the phrase “Big Beaver” isn't even the weirdest thing you're about to hear...Rizz recently made his first trip to Buc-ee's and came away impressed by the size, the amount of stuff and… well, that's about it. But the beaver empire definitely gets more enthusiastic when somebody messes with its logo.The crew discusses Buc-ee's legal battle with an apparel company accused of using its famous beaver on military-style merchandise, resulting in an $850,000 settlement according to the story discussed on the show. That leads straight into John Oliver trolling “Big Beaver” with parody merchandise, Lern buying the socks, and a debate over the difference between legitimately protecting your trademark and unleashing corporate lawyers on every tiny beaver within driving distance.That would already be plenty for a normal comedy podcast. Unfortunately, nobody here has ever been interested in normal.Next comes the Rizz Quiz, where six callers are given extremely difficult questions such as “What ocean borders California?” and “What color is on the bottom of a traffic light?”The results are devastating.California gets relocated to the Atlantic Ocean.The Great Red Spot moves to Mars.One father celebrates his son's 11th birthday by revealing he thinks a millennium is 100 years.And during a playoff, Justin is asked what COUNTRY is directly north of Mexico.His answer?Alaska.Not the United States.Alaska.The crew is forced to explain that this is no longer merely a geography problem.Mark eventually survives the educational apocalypse and wins the contest, while an Empire State Building tiebreaker gives the people in the studio their own opportunity to demonstrate that estimating the size of famous buildings is apparently impossible.From there, we move into accommodations.Lern was supposed to stay at a Dolly Parton-themed hotel while traveling for the Foo Fighters, but shortly before the trip she learned the hotel still wasn't ready. The staff offered to help with alternate accommodations — because that's the Dolly way — and Lern eventually landed in an Airbnb.Which leads directly to one of the most romantic vacation ideas ever discussed on the show:Buffalo Bill's house from The Silence of the Lambs.Yes, you can stay there.The crew discusses the house in Perryopolis, Pennsylvania, a town name that immediately gets roasted before anyone can even focus on the serial-killer-themed vacation rental.The house goes ALL IN.There's a recreated basement well for pictures, horror memorabilia, hundreds of horror movies, an arcade, a pool table and a motion-activated disco ball that plays “Goodbye Horses.”Apparently people have even proposed inside the well.Nothing says lifelong commitment like asking someone to marry you while recreating one of the most disturbing basements in movie history.And somehow several members of the show are completely willing to sleep there.Devon may already be in the well.Then the crew heads to karaoke, where the crew runs through songs you should probably never attempt unless humiliation is specifically why you left the house.“I Will Always Love You.”“Bohemian Rhapsody.”“Dream On.”“Take On Me.”“Chandelier.”“Somebody to Love.”“Chop Suey!”Lern and Rafe argue that bad karaoke is actually better because nobody wants to spend their night watching aspiring Broadway performers flawlessly execute songs like they're trying to get discovered between Jägerbombs.Rizz treats karaoke like The Voice.Moon has standards.And the show discovers Alan Ritchson can sing, because apparently being Jack Reacher wasn't enough and this man needed additional talents just to make the rest of us feel worse.Then Crap on Celebrities takes the wheel with Benny Blanco relationship talk, Ella Langley, Kacey Musgraves, Stevie Nicks, Black Sabbath, Metallica and the revelation that Oprah is heading to the Sphere.Initially, the room has questions.Many questions.Then Moon learns Jacob Collier is involved and suddenly transforms into Oprah's newest ticket salesman.The episode also detours through movie songs, Dirty Dancing, Titanic, Frozen, Fievel and the eternal question of whether certain movie themes are masterpieces or crimes against speakers.And then the crew walks into the room carrying a pharmacy.Rafe arrives surrounded by cold and allergy remedies because he feels something coming on and absolutely refuses to get sick. Rizz recommends chicken soup — “Jewish penicillin” — while the crew starts comparing all the exciting new ways their bodies hurt for absolutely no reason.That becomes a discussion of bizarre sleeping positions.Lern sleeps on her stomach with a hand underneath her pelvis.Moon sleeps like a vampire in a coffin.Rafe routinely wakes up with entire arms completely dead and rubs his feet together like Jiminy Cricket.Everyone is doing great.From there we get Mary Kay nostalgia, pink Cadillacs, old-school home sales parties and Rafe remembering an early comedy gig where part of the compensation came in a deeply unconventional swag bag. We'll leave it at that. YouTube a has rules.The comedy podcast then moves into fitness, where the crew discusses the famous 10,000-steps goal and a conversation about walking pace before discovering Hyrox — a standardized fitness competition involving running and workout stations. Sounds healthy. Sounds inspiring. Sounds like a great way to improve yourself.Then the show discusses a Hyrox race in Beijing where a 22-year-old Australian competitor reportedly suffered a severe bowel accident during the competition……and kept going.She won.The crew cannot believe what they're hearing.The controversy becomes less about competitive toughness and more about the fact that Hyrox involves shared workout stations, meaning everybody behind her suddenly had a problem they absolutely did not include in their training program.“A win is a win” becomes the philosophy of the day.Unfortunately, the bathroom content is not finished.The show also discusses an alleged neighbor dispute involving a bucket of human waste, proving once again that some people handle relationship drama with communication while others apparently choose biological warfare.Then air travel joins the nightmare.The crew discusses disruptive airplane passengers, Moon's frustration with constant in-flight entertainment interruptions and pilot announcements, and a flight attendant's warning that some passengers reportedly change baby diapers directly on airplane tray tables.Yes.The tray where your pretzels go.Congratulations. You will now wipe that thing down until the plastic changes color.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.Can't Hit 10,000 Steps?

Nothing says happy birthday quite like Jeremy Piven telling Rizz he's really, really glad he was born.And nothing destroys that warm birthday feeling faster than immediately discussing aggressive beaver litigation.Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show.Rizz recently made his first pilgrimage to Buc-ee's in Springfield and came away with a glowing review: it was okay. It was fine. It was big.Take that, travel influencers.But while Rizz may not be ready to dedicate his life to the beaver, Buc-ee's is apparently extremely dedicated to protecting it. The crew discusses a legal battle involving apparel company Born United, which the show says used the Buc-ee's beaver logo on military-style merchandise and continued selling it after receiving cease-and-desist letters.The result discussed on the show: an $850,000 settlement involving trademark infringement, unfair competition and false advertising.That launches this comedy podcast into the larger debate over Buc-ee's aggressively defending its brand, especially when smaller businesses are involved.Lern brings up John Oliver's campaign trolling “Big Beaver” with parody merchandise featuring Mr. Nutterbutter and the phrase “Buck Off.” Instead of simply poking the bear — or beaver — the merchandise is raising money for charity, while Buc-ee's apparently refuses to take the lawsuit bait.Lern and Tim even bought the socks.Naturally.The crew debates where legitimate trademark protection ends and corporate bullying begins. Lern compares it to protecting station branding when somebody blatantly rips off a logo versus going nuclear on some random tiny business that happens to use something vaguely similar.Basically: protect your beaver responsibly.Then it's time to give away concert tickets.And any remaining faith in the American education system.Welcome to the Rizz Quiz.Six callers get 45 seconds of rapid-fire trivia. No skips. One wrong answer ends the run. Highest score wins their choice of concert tickets.These are not impossible questions.That becomes important.Curtis starts the festivities by correctly identifying the colors of a yield sign before saying the main ingredient in butter is oil.Score: one.Rizz then accidentally hangs up on him.Honestly, mercy killing.Brian looks like an early trivia powerhouse when he correctly identifies Garfield as orange, Madrid as the capital of Spain and six as half a dozen.Then he says the planet with the Great Red Spot is Mars.Jupiter would like a word.Score: three.Justin steps up and starts absolutely cooking.A baby kangaroo? Joey.Sapphire? Blue.Girl with the red hood? Little Red Riding Hood.Quarters in two dollars? Eight.Crushed peanuts? Peanut butter.Which ocean borders California?Atlantic.NOOOOOOO.Justin still posts the best score so far with five, but geography has officially entered the building and chosen violence.Next comes Zach, who asks the show to wish his son Jameson a happy 11th birthday.Rizz explains they don't do shout-outs while immediately wishing Jameson a happy birthday and giving him applause.Perfect.Now Dad has to win for Jameson.Unfortunately, Dad does not know how many years are in a millennium.Happy birthday, buddy.Daddy got you 100 years instead of 1,000.Mark is next and nearly gets taken out immediately by Scar from The Lion King. After what feels like a complete psychological journey, he finally remembers the villain's name and battles his way to five correct answers, tying Justin.Then Aaron arrives with the opportunity to avoid a playoff entirely.His first question:What is the bottom color of a standard traffic light?Red.Game over.The answer is green.Aaron scores the day's first zero, and somewhere every DMV employee listening quietly locks the doors.Now we have a playoff.Justin returns first and answers six inches in half a foot.Correct.Bruce Wayne's superhero identity?Batman.Correct.What country is directly north of Mexico?Alaska.ALASKA.The comedy podcast has officially abandoned geography and entered experimental theater.The room absolutely collapses.Not only is Alaska not directly north of Mexico, it is — and we cannot stress this enough — not a country.Justin finishes with two.That leaves Mark needing three correct answers to win.Football safety? Two points.Shape with no corners or straight sides? Circle.Famous New York statue holding a torch?Statue of Liberty.We have a winner.Mark takes the Rizz Quiz crown and chooses Breaking Benjamin with Chevelle tickets, bringing one of the most educationally concerning contests in recent show history to a merciful conclusion.But Rizz has one final question.He reveals the closest-number tiebreaker they could have used: How many floors are in the Empire State Building?Now everybody in the studio gets involved.Devon guesses 54.Lern lands on 88 after changing her answer.Another guess rockets all the way to 224.Rafe goes with 150 — while admitting he almost said 400 before realizing that might make him “sound like a real dumb ass.”Good save.The actual answer according to the quiz?Lern's 88 is closest.Somehow, after an entire segment of listeners getting publicly destroyed by elementary-school trivia, Lern walks away the intellectual champion.So this episode has everything: Jeremy Piven birthday wishes, Buc-ee's trademark warfare, Big Beaver, John Oliver trolling, concert tickets, Garfield, Jupiter, a child learning his father doesn't know what a millennium is, California apparently relocating to the Atlantic Ocean, Alaska declaring independence from the United States and a group of grown adults trying to estimate the height of the Empire State Building.It's trivia.It's chaos.It's The Rizzuto Show.And please remember before getting behind the wheel today:Green is on the bottom.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.

For nearly 30 years, Doug Vandegraft has been writing about bars in Alaska. In his book, “A Guide to the Notorious Bars of Alaska,” he uses the state's longtime watering holes as a way into its broader social history. Doug spent decades traveling throughout Alaska during his career as a federal cartographer, and along the way he became interested in the bars that seemed to function as more than just places to drink—they were gathering places, landmarks, and repositories of local history. He eventually spent years researching their histories, digging through liquor licenses, newspapers, business records, and archives, while visiting bars and talking with the people who owned them, worked in them, and drank in them. The result is a history of Alaska told from the barstool, where stories of gold rushes, fishing, military expansion, Prohibition, boom-and-bust economies, and colorful characters all come together in the places people gathered at the end of the day. When Doug moved to Anchorage in 1983, one of the things that struck him was just how many bars there were—and how each one seemed to have its own identity. If you liked reggae, there was a bar for that. If you liked blues, rock and roll, or country, there was a bar for that, too. And these weren't just weekend destinations. Bars could be crowded any night of the week, something Doug came to see as a reflection of an Alaska economy where jobs were plentiful and people had money to spend. That early experience shaped the way he came to understand bars as reflections of the communities around them, places where music, work, personality, and local culture all came together. And after visiting more than a hundred of them, he developed a simple rule for walking into any bar, no matter how unfamiliar: act like you've been there before.
