Who knew Perfect Strangers had a spin-off show? I'm not sure you could guess it, if you had a million guesses. Then things get a little "frosty" between these two and might have had their biggest disagreement in a very long time. We look towards the WNBA playoffs - who will win? Who do we want to win? So may questions. Then it's Week three picks for the NFL games.
We really really still hate Harry!

høst, men naturen hadde bestemt seg for å gi dem en forsmak på vinteren.En: It was early autumn, but nature had decided to give them a taste of winter.No: Denne frosten truet med å ødelegge hele årets

family's traditional apple farm.No: Astrid, hans praktiske og oppfinnsomme søster, kom raskt for å bistå.En: Astrid, his practical and inventive sister, quickly came to assist.No: "Vi må handle raskt, Lars," sa hun.En: "We must act quickly, Lars," she said.No: "Hvis vi dekker til trærne og bruker varme, kan vi kanskje redde eplene.En: "If we cover the trees and use heat, we might save the

tidspunkt, og det minnet ham om at fellesskapet kan overvinne selv de hardeste utfordringene.En: Ingrid had come through for him at a critical time, reminding him that a community can overcome even

A quirky fast food story takes center stage as Wendy's announces the return of its iconic yellow packaging. According to the segment, fans have repeatedly requested the retro look, and the company says the change will start appearing at restaurants across the country on September 28. The episode blends nostalgia, humor, and local radio personality style as the host questions just how passionate people are about packaging while acknowledging that a good Frosty and a tasty burger matter most. It closes with the usual weird news signoff and sponsor mention from Elite Billiards and Ale House.
Craig shares the story of how he pitched a 'Mint Frosty' concept to Wendy's, only for the company to allegedly implement the idea and reward him with just a $10 gift card. He also debates the national perception of Daniel Jones and describes a grueling commute spent watching Yellowstone.

LEN BIAS - LA STORIA DEL PIU' TRISTE DEI WHAT IF Questa è una storia di giovani, droghe, società e cultura americana. Questa è la storia di uno dei più grandi what if di sempre. Questa è la storia di Len Bias, stella inespressa del basket americano, nato il 18 novembre del 1963 e morto neanche 23enne per overdose di cocaina 2 giorni dopo il draft. Ma chi è Len Bias? Nato a Landover, nel Maryland, il 18 Novembre 1963, Leonard Kevin Bias, per tutti Len, è considerato da molti addetti ai lavori dell'epoca una delle migliori stelle inespresse del Basket americano. “Frosty” come lo chiamavano gli amici per via di un nomignolo affibbiatogli dal parroco della sua città per sottolineare il suo carattere serio e umile, è un ragazzo afroamericano di oltre 2 metri e quasi 100 chili. Amante sin da piccolo del Football, comincia la sua carriera cestistica con il passaggio dalle superiori al college, presso la University of Maryland. Il suo ruolo, Ala Piccola. Da ragazzo grezzo e poco disciplinato, Lefty Driesell, monumento del basket NCAA e coach dell'università, lo trasforma negli anni in un lungo dal rimbalzo facile, dalle splendide mani, con i movimenti di una guardia ed un atletismo spaventoso. Len è un atleta fantastico, alla continua ricerca della perfezione: decide di allenarsi anche con la squadra di football e in poco tempo si trasforma in un colosso dalle grandi spalle e le braccia possenti, capace di volare sopra tutto e tutti per andare al ferro. Sono gli ultimi anni di Michael Jordan in NCAA con North Carolina, e Len vede crescere le sue statistiche, le prestazioni e la sua popolarità in modo esponenziale. Dopo il passaggio di MJ nella NBA direzione Chicago Bulls, Bias diventa in assoluto la stella conclamata del college basket americano, vincendo per due stagioni consecutive il premio di miglior giocatore. Con la fama e i fotografi arrivano anche le donne e le amicizie di comodo. Ma Len è un ragazzo serio. Certo, si diverte. Ma come farebbe qualsiasi altro ragazzo che sta per entrare in un mondo più grande di lui. Sul campo, però, è un'autentica furia. Statistiche e percentuali clamorose portano i maggiori talent scout sulle tracce di questo “Horse” – cavallo, come veniva definito per la potenza abbinata all'eleganza dei movimenti – dal sorriso fresco e spontaneo. Non ultimi, i Boston Celtics di Red Auerbach, freschi campioni NBA. Finita la stagione universitaria, arriva il momento più bello ed emozionante per un adolescente che sta per realizzare il sogno della sua vita: il Draft. L'anno è il 1986 e il giorno è 17 giugno.

Steve is joined by Frost defender Sidney Morin to talk about playing in familiar settings. Amelia English discusses coordinating the State Fair events for the MN DNR. Kip Kovar looks ahead to the championship rounds of the State Amateur Baseball tournament.
Things start surprisingly deep when Lern talks about listening to Rafe's appearance on The HoneyDew, where he discussed difficult experiences from childhood and finding comedy in darker moments. He explains the idea of turning life's lowlights into highlights, everybody agrees that nobody escapes childhood completely unscathed, and for one fleeting moment this sounds like a mature conversation between emotionally intelligent adults.Then Moon asks what everyone puts in their coffee.So much for that.Turns out King Scott likes his coffee like he likes his women... According to former Starbucks professionals, black-coffee drinkers might enjoy torturing themselves, caramel macchiato fans barely want coffee at all, vanilla-latte people play it safe, Frappuccino drinkers are basically ordering milkshakes, matcha people might be doing it for the aesthetic, and macchiato drinkers know exactly what they want—and apparently want the barista to know that they know.Then Rafe introduces the concept of a “bro drive-thru” serving pre-workout instead of coffee, because apparently this funny podcast is also an incubator for business ideas nobody should finance.Speaking of decisions nobody should finance, Shake Shack has a limited-edition Reese's Peanut Butter Cup shake featuring vanilla custard, peanut butter, fudge, a crackable chocolate shell, whipped cream, Reese's cups and Reese's Pieces. The damage? A completely reasonable and emotionally stable 1,900 calories with 158 grams of sugar.That sends the crew spiraling into their own hall of fame of caloric atrocities. Moon remembers casually annihilating an entire package of Double Stuf Oreos during his gaming days—potentially somewhere around 2,700 to 3,500 calories. Lern admits she could take down an entire gooey butter cake. And suddenly everyone is remembering the beautiful years when metabolism was magic and nutritional labels were merely decorative stickers.From there, Domino's new Detroit-style pizza promotion sparks the important question our Founding Fathers were apparently too cowardly to answer: What belongs on the Mount Rushmore of fast food?McDonald's fries enter the conversation. So does the Wendy's Frosty, Taco Bell's spicy potato soft taco, the Frisco Melt, Lion's Choice, Dairy Queen onion rings, Rally's fries, Del Taco, Freddy's and more. Nobody reaches a universal consensus because democracy has failed once again.Things somehow become less appetizing when the crew discovers a Walgreens three-in-one product described as a douche, enema and water-bottle combination system. There are some household products where “multipurpose” is a selling point. This may not be one of them.The show then gets into a study suggesting men have a complicated relationship with dieting, including the idea that some men may respond better to “goals” and “challenges” than the word “diet.” Rafe offers his own theory after seeing wildly confident dudes criticize women online while looking, in his words, like a thumb melting into a suit. Poetry remains alive in St. Louis.And because the current calendar apparently isn't irritating enough, Moon brings up a viral proposal to replace our 12 months with five beautiful 73-day monstrosities: Jebruary, Maple, Jaugust, Socktober and Nissember. Is a 73-day Jaugust horrifying? Absolutely. Are we intrigued by Socktober? Unfortunately, yes.We also discover that plenty of Americans apparently aren't sure what Labor Day celebrates, leading to the much more useful Rizz Show explanation that it exists so all pregnant women can give birth on the same day. Please do not cite us in an academic paper.Then Tupac conspiracy content leads into a survey asking whether Americans believe they could successfully fake their own deaths. Younger adults are more confident. Older adults have apparently lived long enough to understand that the IRS, prescription refills and bill collectors are undefeated.Finally, a high-school football season gets canceled amid an investigation into alleged misconduct at a football camp, leaving Moon to read a phrase from the reports on morning radio enough times that everyone involved should probably receive hazard pay.Coffee psychology. Childhood trauma. Reese's shakes. Oreos. Fast-food Mount Rushmore. Dieting. Socktober. Labor Day. Fake deaths. High-school football chaos.That is Episode 101 of The Rizzuto Show—and somehow the funny podcast survived all of it.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.

Older adults have apparently lived long enough to understand that the IRS, prescription refills and bill collectors are undefeated.Du Quoin, Illinois is having a rough week, and this one hits close to home.Massive downtown fire in Du Quoin. Multiple businesses were destroyed, including Home Lumber Company, BJ's Garden Inn and other properties along the downtown business district. Making an already difficult situation even worse, the fire happened during the Du Quoin State Fair, one of the biggest economic weeks of the year for the small Southern Illinois community.From there, September 3rd's collection of completely necessary national holidays introduces National Welsh Rarebit Day, which briefly causes confusion over whether anyone is eating a rabbit. They're not. It's cheese. That discovery leads directly to Worcestershire sauce, pork-steak marinades and the shocking revelation that Rafe doesn't own a grill.After talking with Tim Virgin, she introduces a potential reality-dating concept called Rock Hard Island. The premise involves eligible bachelors from St. Louis rock radio, women applying to date them and enough trash-TV energy to immediately attract hypothetical sponsors. There isn't actually an island involved, but that's apparently a minor logistical concern. Even more alarming: sales is interested.Then Lern takes over for Crap on Celebrities with a packed entertainment rundown. There's a documentary about late Rush drummer Neil Peart featuring Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and fellow drummers including Stewart Copeland, Chad Smith and Danny Carey. Rush is also headed back to St. Louis, giving Moon another chance to see a band he thought he'd never get to experience after Peart's death.The crew runs through villains ranging from Cruella de Vil and Scar to Patrick Bateman, Magneto, John Doe and Dr. Evil, proving once again that this daily comedy show can turn almost any entertainment list into an argument.Finally, Moon breaks down which music genres are supposedly most popular in different states based on search trends, with pop leading the country, metal putting up an impressive fight and Sleep Token emerging as a heavily searched metal act.We ask one of the great questions of our time: why is everybody bringing their dog to the airport now? After seeing dogs everywhere at LAX—and hearing two cats meow their way through an entire flight—the crew falls directly into a pet-themed rabbit hole that somehow gets stranger from there.The crew admits to giving pets updates before leaving the house, whispering compliments to one dog so the other one doesn't hear, telling cats “I love you,” debating which pet is secretly the favorite, asking dogs what they want to watch on TV, and generally treating animals like tiny roommates who contribute absolutely nothing financially.That sends the crew back to 1993's The Three Musketeers, Tim Curry as Cardinal Richelieu, Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt, and the gloriously over-the-top “All for Love” combination of Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, and Sting. This funny podcast briefly becomes a 1990s movie-and-music appreciation society nobody asked to join.Finally, a listener asks a dangerous question for people who have spent years working in radio: what song have you heard so many times that you never need to hear it again?In other words, another perfectly normal episode of daily comedy from The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Baristas Are Revealing The Coffee Orders They Associate With Super Specific StereotypesHigh school's entire football season canceled amid developing criminal investigationFire destroys three downtown Du Quoin businessesKirkwood City Council considers Walmart drone deliverySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"I like that it's hard. I just don't think it needs to be harsh."Chef Duane Keller spent a year turning around the kitchen at Bellmead Country Club in Thomson, Georgia — cutting cost of goods in half and nearly doubling sales — while running on a leadership philosophy he calls gentle pressure. This episode also brings in his sous chef Damon and general manager Josh Morris, so you get the same turnaround from three different seats in the room, and the answer to a much bigger question: what a year of consistent, unglamorous pressure actually costs and returns.Registration for the free monthly Leadership Lab is open — a live working space for chefs ready to lead without losing themselves — @ https://thecheflifebrigade.com/thelabThe Slicer StoryChef Duane didn't walk into Bellmead with a five-year plan. He walked in and asked one question: do we have a slicer? The answer was yes — sitting unused in the storeroom, while the kitchen kept buying pre-sliced deli meat instead of prepping from scratch. In his own words, there had been "no effort, and therefore no results." Twelve months later, cost of goods was cut in half and sales were nearly double what they'd been. Turnaround leadership, it turns out, rarely starts with vision. It starts with somebody finally asking the obvious question nobody else bothered to.The Pathology Report Nobody ReadThen the conversation turns, and Duane tells you something he didn't have to. He survived two cancers at the same time — worked through it, radioactive pill and all, taking $3,000 shots every day while running full food-and-beverage operations. The nurses administering them didn't even know what they were for. It later came out that his own doctors had sat on his pathology report and forgotten to read it — the report that could have caught things sooner. He almost died from an administrative mistake, not the disease itself.He doesn't tell this story for sympathy. He tells it because it's the actual foundation under everything else he says about leadership. "I look at every day as a gift," he says. Not as a slogan — as the thing that happened to him after he nearly lost the option to have any more of them.Trust But VerifySous chef Daymon didn't come up through culinary school. He spent ten years running a Bed Bath & Beyond location before the company folded — cooking was his wife's idea, not a childhood dream. When Duane's first sous chef left, Damon didn't get handed the job because he was next in line. Duane made him earn it: testing his menu ideas, watching how he communicated, waiting to see if the commitment was real. Damon's own framing for it, borrowed from a saying he picked up in a military family: trust, but verify. He got the promotion. More importantly, both of them learned they could rely on each other before either one had to find out the hard way.Cashing In the BoardroomGeneral manager Josh Morris used to just be a member here — then a board director, then the guy who "cashed in the boardroom and headed to the administrative office" when the GM seat opened up. A year later he calls it a brand-new club, a brand-new vibe. He's also honest that it's been "way harder than I thought it was gonna be," and that the cost has been real — time away from a three-year-old daughter chief among it. He credits Duane's collaborative style directly: "It's not a y'all and me. We're all gonna be a team."Cook With Your HeartAsk Duane what he wants his legacy to be and he doesn't reach for a résumé line, even though he's got plenty to reach for — James Beard recognition, cooking for three sitting presidents, a feature in Golf Kitchen. He says it plainly: anybody who believes they can cook with their heart. "Because all that is, is caring." Most of us armor up somewhere along the way in this industry to survive it. The chefs worth working for are the ones who stayed soft enough underneath the armor to still mean it.The Gentle Pressure MethodPut it all together and you get Duane's actual operating system: invest in your people daily, give feedback constantly, his own number is ten times an hour, seventy percent praise — bring people along instead of demanding instant mastery, and let trust compound for about a year before you shift into more warmth. None of it is complicated. All of it requires doing it every single day, without exception, without theatrics."A little bit every day, a little gentle pressure. That's how people improve."Chapters00:00:00 — Gentle Pressure Introduced00:02:42 — Club Turnaround Story00:07:51 — Career Growth and Future00:08:21 — Cancer and Gratitude00:10:38 — Mentorship and Learning00:14:40 — Damon's Kitchen Journey00:18:41 — Earning Trust in the Brigade00:23:58 — Passion Beyond the Hustle00:27:40 — Perspective Shift After Illness00:31:55 — Memorable Events and Math00:35:55 — Teaching Through Food00:37:47 — Leading with Heart00:42:12 — Legacy and Softness00:45:22 — Josh's Club Background00:47:46 — Measuring Renovation Success00:50:41 — Collaborative Leadership00:53:41 — Self-Care and Delegation00:55:49 — Weather and Membership Growth00:58:46 — Wellness and Family Time01:02:13 — Gentle Pressure Philosophy01:04:49 — Advice for Young ChefsResearch LinksBelle Meade Country Club Chef Duane KellerSubscribe to The Recipe for Your Success NewsletterLearn more at Chef Life CoachingFollow Chef Life RadioStay Tall & Frosty.

Everything about what Lupin has been up to is so fascinating, because he says that he has been living amongst werewolves and they don't trust him because he's obviously human-coded. This is so similar to Snape's espionage post being that he has to go back to the high school where he was bullied. This is pure trigger, right?

Chef Keiona Jackson became the first African-American and first female executive chef in Oxford, Mississippi; then walked away from six figures and a kitchen she loved when her body finally said what her mouth wouldn't. This episode is for anyone who's ever been praised for their grit and never asked what that grit was actually costing them.-------------Registration for the free monthly Leadership Lab is open — a live working space for chefs ready to lead without losing themselves — @ https://thecheflifebrigade.com/thelab--------------"You have to value yourself and your worth more than a title or two accolades — or appeasing somebody, or a credibility, whatever the driving force is behind doing something that your intuition told you not to do."Standing on a Sugar BucketChef Keiona's story doesn't start in a professional kitchen. It starts in Mississippi, five years old, standing on a gallon sugar bucket next to her grandmother so she could reach the counter. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Everybody in the neighborhood knew that if you were hungry, you could find a plate at her grandmother's house — any part of the day.She didn't set out to chase titles. She started an aviation mechanic job for Jeep and accidentally built a catering company on the side — business cards from Vistaprint, an EIN, no idea she was technically operating illegally. All she wanted was to feed people and watch them smile. That was the whole plan.The plan changed because other people kept seeing something in her that she wasn't looking for.Becoming the First — and Paying the Tax Nobody Talks AboutIn 2018, Keiona became the first African-American executive chef and the first female executive chef in Oxford, Mississippi. She calls it an honor. She's also honest that it wasn't celebrated the way it should have been, in a town she describes plainly as racist-centric.She was in kitchens with the "good old boys" who told her she wasn't good enough to be anything but a prep cook or a dishwasher — after she'd already worked her way past those positions. She was, more often than not, the only woman and the only Black woman in the room. She had to earn respect from men who didn't extend it by default, just so they'd do their jobs.She didn't do it to be a trailblazer. She did it because she wanted the next person who looked like her to have an easier path than she did. "I didn't want to be the only African-American executive chef," she says. "I want to mentor people to come in that look like me to take that position."What Actually Surprised Her About the JobAsk most people what it's like to become an executive chef and you'll get a story about pressure, pace, plating. Ask Keiona and she'll tell you about systems and processes — the invisible infrastructure most kitchens don't have, and the reason so many restaurants fail long before anyone notices."As an executive chef, you are a mother, a mentor, a leader, a cook, a paper pusher," she says. She still has employees from 2018 who call to check on her. She leads by example — if she asks someone to deep clean, she's on her knees next to them, because she doesn't want to explain what she wants. She wants to show it.That instinct comes partly from her master's in psychology, which she never formally used as a career — she uses it every day with her team instead. Her coaching philosophy is simple and hard to actually practice: "You have to humanize the experience." Take the business logic out of the moment when someone's struggling. See them as a whole human being, not a pair of hands on a schedule.The Cost of Being the One Who Can Do AnythingHere's where the episode turns. Because being that reliable, that skilled, that willing to carry the kitchen on your back — it works, right up until it doesn't.A company that bought the hotel she used to run in Oxford asked her to come back and restore it. She still had a heart for that place. It was home. Against her own discernment — the part of her that was telling her not to go back — she said yes.She got the property back into Marriott compliance. She stood up a rooftop restaurant short-staffed, in the slow season, while corporate told her they were "solely dependent on her expertise" — and then micromanaged every decision she made. Seven days a week. Twelve to fifteen hours a day.Her body started keeping score before her mind admitted anything was wrong. Memory loss. A stutter that came and went. And one day, trying to get on an elevator at work, she pushed the button — and her feet simply wouldn't move. Her brain sent the signal. Her body didn't answer. People were behind her trying to get off, and she couldn't make herself step forward.She resigned October 7th. It took nearly six months to be restored, mentally and physically.Can Resilience Actually Be a Hindrance?We asked her directly: can endurance and resilience — the very traits that got her here — actually be a bad thing?"It's absolutely a hindrance," she says, without hesitating.That's the hammer of this episode. Not that resilience is bad. That resilience without a boundary attached to it isn't strength — it's a slower, quieter way of disappearing. You have to value yourself and your worth more than a title, more than an accolade, more than the credibility of proving you can do it again. Whatever the driving force is behind ignoring your own intuition, you have to value yourself over it.Putting Her Brain on PaperSince then, Keiona has spent months doing something that sounds unglamorous and is actually the whole turnaround: she wrote it all down. A thousand Google Sheets and docs. Fifteen years of operational knowledge that used to live only in her head — the reason she was always the one everyone called — finally on paper, so someone else could actually step in."It was a heavy weight," she says, "and I can feel it lifting from my chest when I submitted the last document."That's what delegation actually looks like when it's not a productivity buzzword. It's relief. It's the difference between being needed and being trapped.Boundaries, Routine, and the Discipline of NoThese days, her mornings start with prayer and meditation. She's in the gym regularly. She reads for the pure pleasure of it again, because that's a version of herself she'd lost. And she names the one skill that changed everything: learning to say no."No is the biggest thing for me," she says. "The ability to say no and to understand that you don't have to accept everything." In the past couple of years, she's walked away from more deals than she's said yes to — a hard reversal for someone who used to jump on every opportunity out of fear it wouldn't come again, and who's been burned by people who took her ideas because she gave too freely, too fast.What She's Building NowKeiona isn't stepping back from the industry — she's rebuilding it from underneath. She's launching the Mississippi Culinary Reentry Program Initiative, training and placing returning citizens in culinary jobs. Seeds to Skillet brings kids in her hometown of Oakland, Mississippi into the kitchen and the garden, teaching them to grow their own food and eventually cook a graduation dinner for their community. And she built the Operator's Playbook — an app that puts real restaurant SOPs, costing sheets, and P&L education in front of small operators who can't afford a consultant.All of it traces back to one line she repeats twice in this conversation, once for herself and once for anyone still building without a map: "I want to be that person that I didn't have."Chapters00:00 - Cold Open: The Elevator That Wouldn't Move01:45 - Welcome, Chef Keiona Jackson02:14 - From a Sugar Bucket in Mississippi to Culinary School04:42 - Becoming Oxford, Mississippi's First Black and First Female Executive Chef08:08 -The Mentors Who Believed First10:42 - What Nobody Tells You About Running a Kitchen13:19 - Humanizing the Team, Not Just Managing It16:13 - The Bolognese Test: Chasing Validation in Italy17:34 - Living With Imposter Syndrome20:04 - Building What She Didn't Have: Reentry Program, Seeds to Skillet, the Operator's Playbook27:47 - Can Resilience Become a Hindrance?29:44 - The Elevator That Wouldn't Move (For Real This Time)34:16 - Boundaries, Delegation, and Putting Her Brain on Paper36:59 - The Power of NoChef Keiona JacksonAB Techniccal College | Culinary ProgramCarolina Health & WellnessRegister for The Leadership LabThe Recipe For Your Success NewsletterStay Tall & Frosty.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Anne Giordano, author of the book Love, Life, and the Ketubah. Anne Giordana is a retired principal from Prince George's County, MD. She received a BA in Education in Connecticut and an MA from The Catholic University of American in Washington DC. She has four children, seven grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. Anne lives with her husband, Charlie, in Sunset Beach, NC. Anne is the author of three children's books, available on Amazon: Spend, The Magic Rabbit; Scott, the Hero Dog; and Frosty, The Yellow Frog. In my book review, I stated Love, Life, and the Ketubah is a a women's fiction love story by Anne Giordano. We meet Lucy at a ski resort. She's a beautiful, quiet Catholic girl who still lives with her parents. On that fateful day, she meets Sam, a handsome, Jewish soon-to-be doctor. They fall in love and Lucy embraces the Jewish faith and the ketubah - marriage contract - that will bind the two forever. However, she has no concerns because she knows God put them together for a reason. Unfortunately, as with life, not everything goes as Lucy and Sam plan. When life gets tough, neither know the best way to handle their disappointments. This is a beautiful story of love, loss, disappointment, fierce devotion, and redemption. I must say it was the saddest happy ending ever - and you'll be glad you chose to read it!

What started as one innocent question — What's the single greatest fast-food item ever created? — quickly became one of the most passionate arguments in Rizz Show history.The gang goes all-in debating whether the Wendy's Frosty deserves legendary status, if the Chicken McNugget changed civilization, and why the Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme might secretly be one of mankind's greatest engineering achievements. Along the way, there are passionate defenses of Happy Meals, Dairy Queen Blizzards, hash browns, curly fries, White Castle chicken rings, and enough fast-food nostalgia to make you immediately pull into a drive-thru.Because this is The Rizzuto Show, the conversation somehow swerves into stories about Ted Drewes inspiring the Blizzard, deep-fried tacos that look questionable but taste incredible, and the realization that nearly every great food invention somehow has St. Louis fingerprints on it.And then… because this is also a comedy podcast, things get even weirder.The crew dives into celebrity chaos, including Jack White's divorce filing, Daryl Hall's kidney transplant, Oprah's comments about Whitney Houston, and why Sexyy Red is locked in a legal battle involving stolen jewelry and security guards. Lauren delivers music news featuring Turnstile's return to St. Louis, AC/DC's massive touring numbers, and a Chris Cornell tribute project that sparks yet another spirited debate.There's also talk about Burning Man documentaries, a new Blair Witch movie, Elizabeth Banks becoming Ms. Frizzle, and one of the strangest conversations you'll ever hear about organ donation pricing.It's another episode that proves no topic is too small to become complete nonsense once Rizz and the gang get involved. Whether you're here for food arguments, celebrity news, weird stories, or daily chaos, this comedy podcast delivers exactly what you'd expect from your favorite morning show…and probably a few things you definitely didn't expect.If you've ever argued over fries, defended a favorite fast-food order like it was your child, or found yourself laughing at conversations that completely lose the plot, then this comedy podcast is for you.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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Weight You're Carrying — When the Exhaustion Isn't About the WorkThere's a kind of tired that sleep doesn't touch. You take the day off, sleep well, run a clean service — and still drive home feeling heavy. This episode is for the chef who keeps waiting for that weight to lift with one more vacation, one more good hire, one more season that doesn't crush them — and is starting to suspect it never will.Register for the free monthly Culinary Leadership Lab: a live working space for chefs ready to lead without losing themselves "This didn't start as obligation. It started as love."The Tired Sleep Doesn't TouchYou know the feeling. Solid service, food went out, team was locked in, guests were happy. You did everything right and you still feel heavy. Not frantic. Not chaotic. Just weighed down, and you can't quite name it.Here's the reframe that runs through the whole episode: what if that exhaustion isn't a sign you're weak or burned out or not cut out for this? What if it's information? Because the weight you're carrying usually isn't coming from the work. It's coming from something older than that.Emotional Labor Without AuthorshipThe chefs who show up most depleted almost never identify the right source of the weight. It's the hours. It's the team that won't step up. It's a business that never stops taking. All true. But underneath it, almost every time, there's something else — emotional labor without authorship.Managing the energy in a room, holding the container, absorbing the tension, keeping people steady — that's real work, and it costs something. In a kitchen it falls on the leader invisibly, without acknowledgement and without end. What makes it unbearable isn't the labor. It's doing it without ever consciously choosing it. It just accumulates. And what started as care becomes exhaustion. What started as love becomes weight you didn't even remember picking up. The Chef in the Black ForestYears ago, on a balcony in the Black Forest in Germany, Adam watched a chef step out a side door between lunch and dinner prep. No rush. He grabbed a basket and walked into the trees for 40 minutes — foraging, unhurried, present, like the work and the rest were part of the same thing instead of opposites.That image came home to a high-volume kitchen of ticket stacking and noise, and a belief that slowing down had to be earned. Adam kept telling himself the next job would feel right. Better kitchen, better team, better ownership. The next job came, and the one after that, and the feeling didn't — because the problem was never the kitchen. It was what he carried into every kitchen. He'd confused the weight with the love.------------------Stop chasing stars and start building a career that actually works. Join the National Champions at A-B Tech in Asheville for hands-on training that respects the hustle without losing the soul. Real tools for real chefs .------------------- How We Got ConditionedWe came into this with open hearts. We fell in love with the craft, with the choreography of a kitchen firing on all cylinders. But the industry we walked into had a very specific set of ideas about what dedication looked like, and we absorbed them before we had language to question them. Dedication looked like staying the longest. Commitment looked like absorbing the most. Caring looked like never setting anything down.So we learned to conflate sacrifice with love — to treat the weight as proof of our investment. Nobody handed us a contract to hold other people's motivation as our personal responsibility. It happened through the culture, through the chefs who modeled it, through an industry that rewarded endurance over presence and called it excellence. That's not a character flaw. That's conditioning. What's Actually in the BagThe first step out is naming what's actually in there. You carry other people's moods — you read the room before you read the board. You carry other people's motivation, feeling responsible when someone won't perform. You carry unspoken expectations you never agreed to. And you carry the gap between the chef you imagined you'd be and the chef the business requires you to be. Most of us carry it all silently, as if it's just part of the deal. It doesn't have to be.The Authorship ResetWhen did you stop choosing this? Not when did it get hard — when did you move from *I choose this* to *I don't have a choice?* Because choosing nothing is still a choice, and choices can be revisited. The refrain to take from this episode: this didn't start as obligation. It started as love. Love without authorship turns into obligation. Obligation without boundaries turns into resentment. And resentment is just love that's lost its way.The reset is three steps — on paper, not in your head. One: name what you're carrying that isn't yours. Two: name what you're choosing today. Three: release one expectation you never agreed to. Pick one. Just one. The reset isn't a reinvention. It's a reclamation.-----------------------You wouldn't run a kitchen with broken equipment, so why are you redlining your own body?

Most kitchen cultures don't break in blow-ups. They erode in the things leaders chose not to name. This episode is for the chef who knows something is off in the room, has known for weeks, and keeps hoping it will fix itself."Love without boundaries becomes martyrdom. Standards without heart becomes control. Leadership is the integration of both."Register for the free monthly Culinary Leadership Lab: a live working space for chefs ready to lead without losing themselves @ https://thecheflifebrigade.com/thelab-------------------The Signal in the RoomYou've walked into a kitchen and felt it before you could name it. Service is running. Tickets are moving. Food is going out. But the energy is weird. The team is guarded. The rhythm feels broken in a way you can't put your finger on.That's not anxiety. That's not you being too sensitive. That's your leadership radar going off. And if you've been at this long enough, you know that feeling isn't random. The discomfort is information.The problem isn't that you don't feel it. The problem is what most of us do with it. We hope.We hope it fixes itself. We hope they get the message. We hope one more shift will smooth it out. But hope in that context isn't strategy. It's avoidance wearing a patient face. And what you tolerate, you teach.How We Got HereWe didn't get here because we stopped caring. We got here because we cared deeply. We fell in love with the craft, with feeding people, with precision, with the feeling of getting it exactly right.Then we ran into a business that rewarded the ones who could absorb the most, who could endure the most, who could give the most without asking for anything back. So we hardened. We armored up to survive. And slowly, quietly, the heart that made us powerful became something we learned to protect instead of lead from.Here's the fracture most chefs don't have language for yet. The craft asks for presence. The business rewards endurance. Those two things pull in opposite directions. If nobody teaches you how to hold both, you end up believing that sacrificing yourself is part of the job. It isn't. That's conditioning.Two CustomersIn every operation, there are two customers. The guest at table 12. And the internal customer — your team, the people standing next to you on the line, carrying the mission with you every shift.Both are owed something.But if you're wired as a people pleaser — if you're wired to smooth things over, to absorb the friction so nobody else has to feel it — you're probably over-indexing on one and under-serving the other. Most chefs are deeply committed to the guest experience. They'll flex the menu, jump on a station, take the hit. And in doing that, they sometimes quietly ask their team to absorb the chaos instead.That's not leadership. That's love without boundaries. And love without boundaries always lands somewhere — usually on the people closest to you.Stay Tall & Frosty.

No Peaches, Big Laughs, and One Question You Can't Forget—Did You Really Just Say That on Mother's Day? JB opens up with a painfully honest (and hilarious) Mother's Day misstep that quickly turns into a full-on conversation about love languages, garage cleanouts, and why some people see “a future with this bag of bolts.” Tricia delivers one of the most relatable lines of the morning while recounting a run-in with an electrician: “All I know is somehow we have to put lightning inside these wires.” It's everyday chaos at its funniest. The show takes a nostalgic and emotional turn with the shocking news that there will be no Fredericksburg peaches this year, sparking genuine sadness—and an unforgettable call-in from Coach Brown, who mourns the loss with a rapid-fire list of everything peach-related his household won't enjoy. “I don't care if it's peach upside-down cake or peach right-side-up cake—this is a crisis,” he jokes, sounding only half-kidding. From there, the crew dives into pop culture with what Sandy calls “the funniest thing I've seen on TV in ten years,” breaking down a Saturday night sketch that spirals into chaos in the best way possible. The episode also shines a light on Austin community goodness with a feel-good story about an inclusive café reopening its doors, reminding listeners why local stories matter. The fun keeps rolling with listener interaction—unexpected food combinations you “shouldn't knock until you try,” ranging from Frosty-dipped fries to a response that stops everyone cold: zebra meat. Yes, really.
In this episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, Brie and Nikki sit down with the endlessly charismatic Josh Segarra to talk wrestling dreams, Broadway roots, dad life, and his latest role in Fox's Best Medicine. From starring in Abbott Elementary, She-Hulk, Scream 6, and The Other Two, to lighting up the stage on Broadway in On Your Feet, Josh has truly done it all, and somehow still makes time for school pickups and rehearsal at 4:30. We love a working dad king!Of course, we had to dive into his wrestling fandom. Josh shares how he grew up idolizing the Ultimate Warrior and why he'd absolutely say yes if WWE ever called. We're already fantasy booking Sheriff Mark with handcuffs at ringside to help The Bellas snag those tag titles. Manifestation activated! And when it comes to comedy, Josh opens up about sharpening his tools on Broadway, honoring great writing, and how the best laughs often come from truth, not improv. He also gets candid about rejection, jealousy, overthinking, and dealing with online hate, dropping wisdom that honestly feels like its own form of best medicine.Between talk of Chinese food therapy, Frosty-and-fries debates, and heartfelt reflections on fatherhood, this episode is funny, grounded, and unexpectedly inspiring. Josh reminds us that comparison is the thief of joy, that overthinking is usually fiction we write in our own heads, and that sometimes the best cure is turning off the noise and going home to the people who love you. So whether you need a laugh, a pep talk, or just a reminder that you're doing better than you think, you're going to want to press play. Call Nikki & Brie at 833-GARCIA2 and leave a voicemail!
