Remember when getting 11 albums for one penny seemed like a completely legitimate business model? Pepperidge Farm remembers. More importantly, Rizz remembers — because apparently Columbia House helped build the musical foundation of the man you hear yelling into a microphone every morning.Episode 52 starts with a guy who has somehow learned to sing a hit song backwards, melody and all, so that when the recording is reversed it sounds remarkably close to the real thing. It's impressive, unsettling, and exactly the kind of useless talent we deeply respect around here.Then nostalgia kicks the studio door off its hinges.Those Little Free Libraries have apparently evolved into Free Blockbusters — neighborhood boxes stocked with DVDs, Blu-rays and VHS tapes for people to take, trade and return. It's basically streaming for people who enjoy leaving the house and trusting strangers. Lern immediately wants one, complete with an old-school beaded curtain for the grown-up section, because apparently we're rebuilding the entire video store experience one suburban lawn at a time.And while physical media gets another tiny breath of life, the funny podcast says goodbye to an absolute legend: Columbia House.Yes. THAT Columbia House.The “11 albums for a penny” people.Also: they were apparently still around.Rizz takes us back to the golden era of putting an actual penny in an envelope, receiving a box full of music, getting bills in the mail and having the financial security of knowing, “What are they gonna do? I'm 11.” Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi helped build the Rizz starter pack, while Rafe reveals Columbia House was also apparently part of his mom's Christmas gift strategy.Nothing says “Merry Christmas” like potentially questionable mail-order accounting.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where the crew gets into the Tupac murder trial, an upcoming Elvis hologram experience in Vegas, Gillian Anderson's truly wild teenage arrest story, celebrity divorce becoming content, a Clueless sequel series, more Fast & Furious, and Ella Langley's monster chart run.Matthew McConaughey also delivers possibly the most Matthew McConaughey story ever: getting so high before his own birthday party that he sat in his car listening to Janet Jackson over and over until the party was finished.Everybody left.Birthday over.But that song? Apparently fantastic.Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell also kick the hornet's nest by discussing extreme Disney adults, because nothing brings the Internet together like telling grown people their favorite mouse might be a red flag.Meanwhile, Ella Langley's chart domination has the crew officially becoming “Ella fellas” and wondering whether she can finally defeat one of the most powerful forces in American culture: hearing the same Mariah Carey song every December until the sun explodes.And because this funny podcast occasionally invites people who actually know what they're talking about, Cardinals assistant GM and 2006 World Series champion Randy Flores joins the show to talk baseball and the Cardinals' Draft365: Scouting MLB's Future Stars, which pulls back the curtain on scouting, drafting and finding the organization's next generation of players.So Episode 52 has everything: St. Louis baseball, celebrity gossip, physical-media nostalgia, weird Internet talent, questionable teenage financial decisions and Matthew McConaughey losing an entire birthday to Janet Jackson.Another educational installment of your favorite funny podcast.We use the term “educational” very aggressively.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.

Twenty years after helping the St. Louis Cardinals win the 2006 World Series, Randy Flores is back with The Rizzuto Show — except now he's sitting on the other side of baseball, helping find the players who could become the Cardinals' next generation of stars.The Cardinals assistant GM of scouting and acquisition joins this comedy podcast to talk about Draft365: Scouting MLB's Future Stars, a behind-the-scenes look at a side of professional baseball fans almost never get to see.And when we say behind the scenes, we mean it.Flores explains how roughly 23 Cardinals scouts spread across the country evaluate elite high school and college talent, how players make their way onto the organization's radar, and what happens when scouts, analysts, data engineers, performance specialists and actual human eyeballs all have to agree on which teenager might someday be standing at Busch Stadium.Turns out it's slightly more complicated than your uncle saying, “Kid's got a good swing.”Randy also explains just how absurdly difficult it is to reach Major League Baseball. The crew immediately starts Googling percentages, Rafe consults what basically becomes “Gronk AI,” and everyone arrives at the same scientific conclusion:Your odds aren't great.Even the players who get drafted were usually THE player where they came from — the best kid in their town, school or region — only to arrive in professional baseball and discover they're now surrounded by hundreds of other guys who were also the best kid everywhere they came from.Welcome to the world's most emotionally devastating All-Star team.Flores talks about seeing that firsthand after being drafted himself and walking into the Yankees system, where he realized his team was only one of several groups making cuts — inside just one organization. Multiply that by the rest of Major League Baseball and suddenly “making the show” sounds less like a career plan and more like surviving a very athletic Hunger Games.The conversation also dives into Cardinals prospects like Jordan Walker and Joshua Baez, including how the unusual COVID-era draft helped St. Louis feel confident about Walker and how adversity in the minor leagues helped prepare Baez for his eventual opportunity.And despite baseball becoming more obsessed with analytics, Randy explains why scouting still can't be reduced to numbers on a screen. Players leave home. They struggle. They get hurt. They fail for possibly the first time in their lives. Scouts aren't only evaluating what someone can do when everything is going right — they're trying to figure out what happens when baseball punches them directly in the mouth.That's where the human side still matters.For parents convinced they're currently raising the next MLB superstar, Flores also delivers some advice that may save everybody several thousand dollars and one deeply uncomfortable car ride home: if the kid is truly good enough, scouts will find them. Parents can help most by supporting the kid instead of turning every Little League game into Game 7 of the World Series.The pressure is already enormous. Kids now have rankings, social media clips and embarrassing moments that can follow them indefinitely. Randy's advice is refreshingly simple: home should still be the safe place.We also get into Randy's unusual road from an eight-year MLB career to graduate school, broadcasting, coaching, entrepreneurship and eventually a phone call from John Mozeliak asking whether he'd consider becoming a scouting director — to which Randy essentially responded, “Cool. What's a scouting director?”Career planning!Plus, Randy previews the 20-year reunion of the 2006 World Series champion Cardinals and explains what he hopes fans take away from Draft365: behind every prospect is an enormous group of people obsessively trying to keep the Cardinals' pipeline loaded with talent.By the end, Rafe wants to be scouted, Moon wants a job, Jon Lovitz's performance as a scout in A League of Their Own is finally evaluated by an actual professional, and somehow Marla Hooch helps bring the interview home.It's baseball insight, St. Louis Cardinals history and just enough nonsense to remind Randy he willingly walked into a comedy podcast.Twenty-five minutes later, we're all convinced we're getting drafted.We're not.But that's never stopped this comedy podcast before.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.

We're bringing back Blockbuster, burying Columbia House and somehow ending up inside the St. Louis Cardinals draft room. Just another morning where The Rizzuto Show refuses to pick a lane.First, a guy learns how to sing a hit song completely backwards so it sounds right when reversed, which is an incredible amount of effort dedicated to something gloriously unnecessary. Then we discover Free Blockbusters — neighborhood boxes where people swap DVDs, Blu-rays and VHS tapes like Little Free Libraries for people who still remember rewinding things.That sends us straight into a funeral for Columbia House, the legendary “11 albums for a penny” operation that helped build Rizz's music collection and apparently taught an entire generation of children their first lesson in questionable financial decisions. Rizz remembers physically mailing them a penny, getting Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi, then receiving bills while possessing the unbeatable legal defense of being approximately 11 years old.Plus, Crap on Celebrities delivers another pile of entertainment gossip and pop culture commentary before we bring in someone with actual credentials and briefly destroy the show's reputation.Cardinals assistant GM of scouting and acquisition and 2006 World Series champion Randy Flores joins the crew to talk Draft365: Scouting MLB's Future Stars and give us a fascinating look at how the Cardinals identify, evaluate and draft future players.Randy breaks down the absurd odds of making Major League Baseball, what scouts see beyond analytics, why struggling can actually reveal something important about a prospect, and how the Cardinals' nationwide scouting operation works. We get into Jordan Walker, Joshua Baez, the pressure facing young athletes and why parents convinced they're raising the next MLB superstar might want to let the kid drive the dream.And with the 20-year reunion of the 2006 World Series champion Cardinals approaching, Randy looks back while also explaining why the organization's current farm system has him excited about what's coming next.So we've got Blockbuster nostalgia, Columbia House childhood crimes, weird internet talent, funny celebrity gossip and legitimate Cardinals baseball insight all crammed into one comedy podcast.Basically, we start with VHS tapes and end with MLB scouting.There was no plan.There rarely is.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.Amazon Worker Calls Out Customers Who Keep Ordering This 1 Item—It's Really Annoying: ‘Stop Ordering This'Woman's Petty Response to $45 HOA Fines Has X Saying “Genius”Free Blockbusters are popping up to bring back physical mediaRemember 12 CDs for 1 cent?

Eight-year-old Oliver Barrett watched Chris Burton win at Aachen and fell in love with the sport. Fourteen years later, he's heading back to the iconic venue himself, with a horse his family bred, started under saddle and produced every step of the way. In this episode of the Future Star series, Nicole catches up with Oliver ahead of his first senior World Championships. Sandhills Briar was backed at home in New South Wales, carried Oliver to a CCI5* victory at Adelaide earlier this year, and now the pair are bound for Germany as one of Australia's most exciting combinations. They talk about growing up on a breeding property, what it's like having two Olympic event riders as parents, and why they've chosen to stay based in Australia rather than following the more traditional path to Europe. Oh, and Oliver's dad built him a mini Aachen in the back paddock using a tractor. You'll definitely want to hear that story in full. Highlights Sandhills Briar's journey from foal to five-star winner Growing up with Olympic event riders for parents Preparing for Aachen from Australia The pressure riders put on themselves A home Olympics on the horizon in 2032 Guest Oliver Barrett – Australian event rider heading to his first senior World Championships with Sandhills Briar.

According to an alleged leaked studio document, a "game plan" for the future of Star Wars has been devised and it includes very specific directives, like what era should all shows be based in, how often the films and shows should happen, and what's this about an "overarching framework" for all upcoming Star Wars stories?

The Philadelphia 76ers could have found the perfect target for the 22nd pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. Today, we break down the draft profile of Houston forward/center Chris Cenac Jr., a former top-10 high school recruit whose athleticism, versatility, and two-way upside make him one of the most intriguing prospects linked to Philadelphia. With the Sixers needing immediate contributors around Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, and Paul George, could Cenac be the rare prospect who can provide both short-term impact and long-term upside? We discuss why Chris Cenac Jr. may be the best fit for the Sixers' roster, and why he has become one of RB's favorite targets in this year's draft class. Today, we discuss it all!

He's had the highs. He's had the heartbreak. Now comes the next chapter. Josh Levett joins Nicole to reflect on a season of near-misses, breakthrough moments, and why sometimes the weeks that almost happen stay with you longest. From a first top-level campaign, to Young Rider highs and lows, to preparing to step out on his own and build a business, Josh shares what life looks like behind the results sheet. There's talk of family, pressure, owners, sponsors, and the reality of growing up in one of eventing's most established households while finding your own way. Plus, the lessons picked up from time with Piggy March, Clayton Fredericks, and why stepping away from home for a few months changed his perspective on the sport entirely. With Bramham ahead, one final Young Rider season, and bigger ambitions beginning to take shape, this feels like a rider right at the start of something. Highlights Why the "almost" results can stay with you more than the disasters Growing up in a horse family, and why eventing wasn't always the plan Young Rider highs, setbacks, and unfinished business Building a business, moving out, and setting up independently Lessons learned from Piggy March and Clayton Fredericks Four-star reality checks and stepping up the levels GB or Australia?

This Friday episode brings a game of Quote Roulette and the conclusion of the first-ever "Draft Week" to start your weekend. Brendan is ready to skip forward to Sunday afternoon's big Jets-Browns tilt at MetLife Stadium with rumors swirling that he may meet up with PJ to watch the game in-person. Andy and Brendan run through the early leaderboards for the HSBC Abu Dhabi Championship and World Wide Technology Championship before diving into press conference clippings from around the world. Rory McIlroy wasn't impressed by LIV's move to 72 holes and doesn't think they'll be getting too many OWGR points as things currently stand. Lee Westwood took exception to these remarks by the Masters champion, saying that Rory may change his mind next week on whatever he said anyway. Westy believes that the LIV fans are the biggest winners of this "innovation" as they'll be seeing an extra day of golf! Paul McGinley spoke to Bunkered about the impending DP World Tour fine decision on players like Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton. McGinley believes there are larger things at play for the future of the DP World Tour's existence and acknowledges that making Ryder Cup players be members is one of few cards the Euro circuit has left. Perhaps most importantly, there was some late-night beef between Joe Mayo and the Short Game Chef on Instagram on Wednesday night. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Mayo started a grease fire in the Chef's kitchen, airing out some past texts and conversations and calling out the Chef's teachings. Andy and Brendan are giddy about this long-winded IG caption and lose it when Joseph LaMagna joins in to share a comment about "extra Mayo." Lastly, the President of the PGA of America spoke to the 31,000 or 34,000 or 37,000 members this week and apologized for "harming the association" in past months. We play the audio of this apology and have added it to the soundboard. "Draft Week" wraps up with a double whammy and a new guest: Joseph joins Andy, Brendan, and PJ to draft 2026 Pro Golf Venues AND the best players in the world age 28-and-younger.
