HOUR 2 (09/12) - Gary & Shannon take on the increasingly awkward world of digital ordering kiosks, disappearing human interaction and a memorable McDonald’s stop in Santa Barbara. Then it’s a fresh batch of bizarre news nuggets, including a naked man arrested inside HomeGoods and a nurse disciplined over a truly unfortunate gauze incident. Plus, they get into the latest Elizabeth Holmes documentary and revisit the spectacular rise and collapse of Theranos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Welcome to another episode of The Rizzuto Show, where getting stitches removed somehow leads to naked shopping, bathroom trauma, fart acceptance, a landfill cat rescue and a serious debate over whether anybody under 25 knows what cash is anymore.This funny show starts with Rizz preparing to finally get his stitches removed and worrying about the scar underneath. Naturally, this becomes a conversation about aging, falling down stairs, mysterious back injuries, hearing loss, stretching just to remain operational and the depressing discovery that modern medicine may be helping us live longer without necessarily making those extra years more comfortable. Welcome to the Geriatric Morning Show. Please bend at the knees when exiting.Then Rizz offers the crew a choice between a nice story and somebody getting naked at Home Goods.Guess which one wins.A Florida shopper reportedly walks into Home Goods, apologizes to a woman, drops his pants and eventually ends up wandering around the store naked. This somehow inspires Lern to consider whether shopping at Home Goods completely nude might actually be enjoyable under the correct circumstances. Soon the crew is discussing nudist resorts, naked grocery shopping and towel etiquette because we apparently abandoned the original story somewhere around decorative throw pillows.That also gives Rafe the opportunity to share his own recent encounter with unexpected nudity: walking into a restaurant bathroom and finding a grown man at the urinal with his pants and underwear completely around his ankles.Full moon. Broad daylight.Rafe's brain immediately activates what Lern describes as the human security system designed to detect either exposed butts or approaching lions. It's science. Probably.The episode then moves into an alleged MMA fighter-versus-chimpanzee story that has the crew firmly rooting for the animal and questioning every decision that led humanity to this particular moment. Thankfully, we eventually get an animal story everybody can celebrate: Mike, an eight-year-old cat accidentally thrown away inside an old couch.After the couch reaches a massive landfill, workers miraculously spot Mike stranded above a trash pit. A crew uses heavy equipment to help rescue him before animal control eventually gets him identified and reunited with his owner. Mike survives. Humanity gets one point back.Then comes one of modern society's smallest yet most powerful social anxieties: the restaurant payment screen.“It's going to ask you a quick question.”WE KNOW WHAT THE QUESTION IS.The gang debates tipping pressure, servers standing beside you while you choose a percentage and the awkward eye contact that turns paying for lunch into a hostage negotiation. A viral server offers a surprisingly simple solution: hand over the device and talk to somebody else while the customer finishes paying.Meanwhile, Gen Alpha has apparently solved another social crisis entirely: being embarrassed about farting.A dance teacher says younger students just let them rip without carrying the shame previous generations dragged around for decades. Moon is thrilled. Lern shares some personal wind-instrument history. Suddenly the Rizzuto Show is analyzing bass versus treble fart tones because NPR wasn't available.The generational divide continues when Rizz watches a young Panera cashier struggle with actual paper money. That launches a debate over whether cash is still king, whether digital money is safer, what happens if the power grid goes down and whether anyone really wants to shave pieces off a gold bar to pay for bananas at Schnucks.From there, the crew remembers the inconveniences younger generations escaped: waiting beside the family phone for an important call, giant telephone cords, payphones, snow-day announcements, shared phone lines and parents losing their minds when somebody dared call during dinner.But this episode also takes a meaningful turn.Rizz reflects on September 11 and what it means that an event still so vivid for people who experienced it is now history taught to younger generations who weren't alive when it happened. He shares memories of being in Manhattan that morning, the confusion surrounding the attacks and the way people came together afterward.The crew also discusses Wells Crowther, remembered as the Man in the Red Bandana, who repeatedly helped people escape the South Tower before losing his own life. Rizz connects the story to conversations with his daughter and the importance of remembering not only what happened, but the people who ran toward danger to help others.So yes, this funny show contains exposed butts, Home Goods, cat rescues, fart sociology and arguments about whether paper money still matters. But underneath the usual chaos, there's also a reminder that comedy and real life can occupy the same morning.One minute you're discussing a naked man shopping for seasonal décor. The next you're remembering courage, sacrifice and a day that changed everything.That unpredictable mix is pretty much what this funny show does best.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.

But this episode also takes a meaningful turn.Rizz reflects on September 11 and what it means that an event still so vivid for people who experienced it is now history taught to younger generations who weren't alive when it happened. He shares memories of being in Manhattan that morning, the confusion surrounding the attacks and the way people came together afterward.The crew also discusses Wells Crowther, remembered as the Man in the Red Bandana, who repeatedly helped people escape the South Tower before losing his own life. Rizz connects the story to conversations with his daughter and the importance of remembering not only what happened, but the people who ran toward danger to help others. Well, this one gets uncomfortable immediately.The Rizzuto Show discusses the fallout surrounding former Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton and the chat room he was reportedly spotted visiting on a flight. The organization behind that online community responds to the controversy, and suddenly the crew finds itself having a much more complicated conversation than anybody probably expected this early in the morning.The discussion centers on a difficult question: if someone recognizes that they're having dangerous or disturbing thoughts and genuinely wants professional help before ever harming another person, where should that help come from — and where is the line between providing treatment and creating an environment that could normalize or encourage those thoughts?It's exactly the kind of conversation where this comedy podcast somehow wanders from psychology and morality to robot technology and eventually a hypothetical island solution nobody should ever allow this crew to administer. Thankfully, Crap on Celebrities eventually arrives to rescue everyone from that conversation. Sort of.The Foo Fighters have quietly released a six-track live EP featuring performances from intimate club shows, with proceeds supporting local charities fighting food insecurity. So that's genuinely nice. Then the Spice Girls decide to emotionally clothesline their fans. After teasing a major announcement and getting reunion-starved fans dreaming about a possible Sphere residency, the big reveal turns out to be…a 14-disc singles collection. FOURTEEN DISCS.Somewhere, somebody had already started explaining to their spouse why spending irresponsible amounts of money to hear “Wannabe” in Las Vegas was actually a sound financial decision. Instead, congratulations: here are B-sides.Michael Jackson memorabilia also enters the conversation when one of his crystal-covered gloves from the Victory Tour heads to auction. The crew is shocked by the projected price and immediately starts calculating its future value like they're suddenly Sotheby's with fart jokes.Snoop Dogg is announced as host of the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, Nirvana is set for the Video Vanguard Award, and the gang wonders who exactly the VMAs are for anymore. Once upon a time, you planned your entire night around MTV. Now we're explaining to the children that MTV technically still exists.St. Louis gets dragged into Crap on Celebrities too, with Sexyy Red facing a lawsuit over allegations that she posted a woman's home address and encouraged followers to attack her. Her attorney disputes the allegations, but it gives the show another opportunity to demonstrate why “celebrity news” is sometimes just a nicer phrase for “what the hell is happening?”And then we get Rick Springfield. During an appearance on Joe Rogan, Springfield discussed spending time entertaining American troops in Vietnam in 1968 and described being caught in an attack. According to his story, soldiers had him fire a mortar toward an area where enemy forces were believed to be moving. The next day, he says, a soldier told him, “you got one.” That revelation leads to a very serious discussion about the emotional weight Springfield says he still carries from the experience. It also leads Rafe to have…questions. A lot of questions.The crew debates the details of the story, how a teenage musician visiting troops ends up operating a mortar, what training would have been necessary, how anyone could have confirmed the result afterward and whether decades can alter the way people remember extraordinary experiences.Celebrity chaos continues with Nobody Wants This, the return of Practical Magic, Sandra Bullock, some rough Rotten Tomatoes scores, Liam Neeson continuing his lifelong commitment to finding people, and an Oasis documentary apparently becoming the safest movie choice of the weekend.The crew also discusses a documentary examining Alec Baldwin during the legal fallout surrounding the Rust shooting before Lern tries to brighten a show filled with unusually serious subjects by bringing in Dolly Parton and a posthumously released recording of “Bound to Ride.” That immediately creates another important Rizzuto Show question: exactly where are you supposed to listen to bluegrass? Driving sadly through the countryside? Silver Dollar City? Somewhere near Branson while buying a pop gun? We may never know.Then it's celebrity birthdays, Brian De Palma appreciation, a reminder that Carlito's Way deserves your attention and, because we apparently weren't already operating at maximum weirdness, the traditional porno birthday.Nothing exposes how differently your coworkers' brains function quite like asking them to name a country in Europe and putting concert tickets on the line. The Rizzuto Show brings us another round of “Just the Two of Us,” the deceptively simple contest where callers pick two members of the show, Rafe asks five questions, and those two people attempt to match at least three answers. Easy, right? Absolutely not.Before the competition begins, Rizz takes a trip through “Back in the Day,” remembering everything from The Carol Burnett Show and Little House on the Prairie to Warrant's “Cherry Pie,” Johnny Unitas, John Ritter and one of the Internet's earliest great gifts: Nick Nolte's spectacularly disheveled mugshot. Then it's time to give away concert tickets, and suddenly this becomes the most stressful game show in St. Louis. The prize pile is loaded with Candlebox, Violent Femmes, Toadies, Babymetal and the final precious pairs of Rush tickets. Unfortunately for the listeners, their ability to attend these concerts depends entirely on whether members of the Rizz Show can agree on incredibly complicated concepts like “an ocean.”Devon and Moon kick things off for caller Adam, who wants Rush tickets. They immediately connect on France, miss each other on states beginning with M, recover with the Arch as a St. Louis tourist attraction and seal the deal with the Pacific Ocean. Adam is going to Rush. For once, this show has successfully accomplished something.Then Rizz and Moon attempt to win Babymetal tickets for Paul. They agree on baseball but immediately demonstrate why this game is dangerous when “name an Olympic sport” produces hockey and curling. Dumbbell saves them on gym equipment, but sledding versus skiing and NFL versus MLB finish the job. Sorry, Paul. The Babymetal dream has died at the hands of winter recreation.Rizz and Moon get another chance when Brad wants Violent Femmes tickets, and this time food brings everybody together. Peanut butter and jelly. Sausage pizza. Vanilla ice cream. McDonald's. Beautiful.Unfortunately, the phrase “healthy breakfast cereal” gives us Grape-Nuts, a cereal the show describes with all the enthusiasm normally reserved for eating landscaping material. Somehow that leads to confessions about demolishing boxes of Lucky Charms and Corn Pops, including the dangerous cycle of adding cereal because you have leftover milk, then adding milk because you have leftover cereal, until the box is empty and you're sitting alone with your shame. This is the nutritional guidance you expect from The Rizzuto Show. Then comes the final pair of Rush tickets.Kyle chooses Lern and Devon, setting up an alleged generational showdown between a 41-year-old and a 30-year-old. Things immediately become catastrophic. “Name a superhero.” Superman. Wonder Woman. Oh no... “Name a Disney animated movie.” The Little Mermaid. Bambi. OH NO. At this point, Kyle is watching his Rush tickets disappear in real time while Patient Zero starts sniffing around the wreckage. But then something happens. Monopoly. Netflix. Instagram. Three straight matches. THE COMEBACK IS COMPLETE. Kyle is going to Rush, Lern and Devon have successfully bridged the generational divide, and feminism survives another morning.Justin chooses Rizz and Devon for the final game, with Candlebox tickets waiting at the finish line. They match immediately on guitar. Then rock. Things are looking suspiciously competent. Naturally, it cannot last.Asked to name a famous rock band from the 1980s, Devon goes with Mötley Crüe while Rizz lands elsewhere, launching an argument over what exactly qualifies as an “'80s band” and whether Rush counts just because Moving Pictures came out in 1981. Then comes the holiday-song disaster. Devon chooses Mariah Carey's “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Rizz chooses “Jingle Bells.” Suddenly we're debating whether the most obvious Christmas song is determined by history, kindergarten classrooms or how aggressively Mariah Carey emerges from hibernation every November. It all comes down to one final question: Name something you find on a desk. The obvious possibilities are endless. Computer. Stapler. Tape dispenser. Mouse. Rizz and Devon? Pen... and LAMP. “There will be no Candlebox today.” Brutal.Along the way, the crew also defends Candlebox's honor, remembers their early Pointfest days, argues about cereal, discusses the Raygun breakdancing documentary, makes questionable winter-activity suggestions and repeatedly proves that knowing someone for years does not mean you have any clue what word is about to come out of their mouth. That's the beauty of “Just the Two of Us.” The questions aren't difficult. The people answering them are.This episode is daily comedy at its most beautifully unnecessary: great concert tickets, easy questions, terrible instincts, miraculous comebacks, wounded callers and an astonishing amount of emotional investment in whether two adults can independently write down “McDonald's.”Come for the Rush tickets.

This week, Jill, Kelly, and Melissa are talking birthdays, big moves, Broadway and more. Kelly's dad just celebrated his 80th birthday, and Kelly shares how she turned a plain tiered Sam's Club cake into a personalized masterpiece with a little DIY decorating. The moms also get real about decluttering after helping their kids move and seeing firsthand just how much stuff we accumulate over the years. While they all have special keepsakes from their kids that they'll treasure forever, Jill has an important message: your kids probably don't want all your stuff… so DECLUTTER! And yes, that means she is staying out of HomeGoods.Melissa is also getting ready to take the train to NYC to visit Kenzie, who will soon make her Broadway debut in & Juliet! Melissa thinks Kenzie may be a New Yorker at heart after falling in love with the city.And then things take a turn… Kelly recounts a recent issue of getting so sick that she started wondering if she had the dreaded “salad virus.” Unfortunately, her own dog Morgan became an innocent victim, and now Kelly has a whole new problem: how do you get that smell out of your dog?!Have a question for the moms?

Are you as obsessed as I am with the dumbest headlines of the week? Well, you're in luck! I've got comedian and pop culture whisperer Rachel LaForce on to break down what Spencer Pratt's mayoral run, the $250 Trump bill, and trad wife content filmed at Home Goods actually say about the rest of us. Rachel got sober by accident, spent decades masking her neurodivergence, and built her whole show around one idea: comedy gets you to the truth faster than seriousness does. This is a fast, sharp, occasionally unhinged hour that somehow keeps landing on self-belief. Notable timestamps: 03:57 – The UFC fight on the White House lawn, and how "healing is hilarious" started as Rachel's own recovery philosophy 12:08 – How she got sober "on accident" during a breakup, and never went back 16:57 – The push-yourself-out-of-the-pool metaphor for knowing you're actually ready for change 20:02 – Spencer Pratt's mayoral run and the self-belief lesson hiding inside it 23:38 – Why she thinks billionaires are boring, and her case for an abundance mindset 27:54 – MacKenzie Scott, Jeff Bezos, and the gender dynamics of wealth 31:45 – Her actual rule for what's fair game to joke about, and why trad wife content makes her sad instead of snarky 37:36 – Cortisol dressing, dopamine dressing, and how marketing invents things to sell women 43:36 – Where to find Rachel and what's next for Healing is Hilarious Rachel LaForce, resources and links: Healing is Hilarious podcast: https://www.rachellaforce.com/podcast Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6jliDvkqHQFXyfx9Qh0lr4 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rachel-laforce-show/id1600838616 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@therachellaforce Rachel's website: https://www.rachellaforce.com/ Follow Rachel on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachellaforce/ Follow Healing is Hilarious on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healingishilarious/ Skewed Orbit Studios: https://www.skewedorbitstudios.com/ Be sure to rate, review, and follow this podcast on your player and also, connect with me IRL for more goodness and life-changing stuff.Schedule a FREE podcast clarity call with me - Your future audience is out there.

Summer is OVER crusaders, WELCOME FALL! Snooki finally had her first drink post-surgery, meanwhile Joey is sipping on the streets, popping off at the US Open, and spending the last remnants of summer on a yacht. Snooki kicks off product show and tell with a secret gift in the mail from none other than Kristin Cavallari’s “Uncommon James.” While Joey shows off his new defense mechanism against the ravaging fruit flies in his kitchen. These are the products of adult dreams. Things are heating up in Hollywood as Leah Remini is set to join the Season 16 cast of ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.’ Speaking of queens, Celine Dion is kicking off her final tour and it’s already selling out. And if our hearts weren’t already heavy losing Hayden Panettiere, we’ve lost a legend in Tim Curry and our North Star in Dolly Parton. Joey reminds us to celebrate the people we love everyday, sharing the kind and wise words of Dolly and the immense impact she made on all of us. As the September Shift makes its move, Snooki and Joey are in full preparation for Fall, making their way to Home Goods and TJ Maxx. Joey predicts a ‘90s nostalgia Christmas theme takeover as we’re craving some home and comfort. We’re talking plastic Santas and tacky colorful lights. We’re here for the kitschy tchotchkes and done with over-romanticizing beige luxury. And no home fall transformation is complete without binging ‘Gilmore Girls’ or ‘The Craft.’ Finally, Bethenny Frankel made it to Burning Man, as if the besties are over the heat, they just have to say, they’re not festival people, but good luck Bethenny.

How to Feel Confident Decorating Your Home (Even If You Don't Trust Your Own Taste Yet) How do you become more confident decorating your home? You become more confident when you stop relying on endless inspiration and start learning a simple process for making decorating decisions. Confidence doesn't come from suddenly knowing exactly what to buy or having perfect taste...it comes from understanding your own style, making decisions, and learning to trust yourself along the way. Have you ever looked at a room in your home and thought, I know what I like when I see it...I just don't know how to make it happen in my house? Maybe you've saved hundreds of beautiful rooms on Pinterest. Maybe you've taken the quizzes, followed the designers, wandered through HomeGoods and Target, and still find yourself standing in your own living room wondering what the heck you're supposed to do. Here's the thing... You probably don't need more inspiration. You need confidence. And sometimes, the easiest way to begin building your own confidence is to borrow someone else's for a little while. In this episode, I'm talking about what actually changes when you start trusting yourself with your home...and why having someone walk alongside you can help you build the confidence to eventually make those decisions on your own. In this episode, we'll talk about: Why more Pinterest inspiration isn't necessarily going to make you more confident decorating your home How having a process can help you stop second-guessing every decorating decision Why past decorating attempts that didn't stick aren't proof that you're bad at decorating What to do when you feel like you don't have enough time to tackle your home How borrowing someone else's confidence can help you begin building your own Why you don't need to overhaul your entire house to start making meaningful progress You don't need to become a completely different person to create a home you're proud of. You don't need perfect taste. You don't need a giant budget. And you definitely don't need another 400 Pinterest pins. You need a way to make decisions...and enough confidence to make the next one. Because eventually, the goal isn't to need Dani to tell you what to do. The goal is to learn enough that you can look at your own home and think, "I know what this needs." And that is a very different kind of decorating confidence. Something is coming very soon that was created specifically to help you get there...and I'll be sharing more about it next week. Keep listening If you've been wanting to feel more confident in your home but aren't sure where to begin, start with the episodes and resources inside the Cozy Home Collective. You'll find simple decorating education, ongoing support, and a place to keep learning at your own pace. And if you're brand new to my world, The Cozy Home Method is the foundation behind the way I teach decorating...helping you create a home that feels cohesive, personal, and cozy without making decorating harder than it needs to be. ✨✨THE COZY HOME WORKSHOP ✨✨ 3 Steps to Creating a Home you Can't Wait to Come Home To September 9 - 11th 9:00am PST | 10:00am MST | 11:00am CST | 12:00pm EST Register for The Cozy Home Workshop // Other Important Links : // Become a Design Bestie by joining the newsletter: https://bit.ly/designbestie Email: https://figandfarmathome.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/figandfarm/ FREE Facebook Community: https://www.bit.ly/design101group A note about this episode The full episode transcript appears below so you can read, search, or revisit the ideas we talked about.
Episode 310 opens with Steve Dennis reporting back from an invitation-only Amazon analyst day in Seattle, two days focused on Prime and grocery. Steve unpacks the breadth of the Prime flywheel, Amazon's push into sub-one-day delivery, the drone facility he toured just before the company announced an expansion to roughly 500 markets, and why Amazon's rise to the number two grocer in North America should have rivals looking over their shoulders. Then, the numbers. US retail sales grew about 5% excluding fuel. Walmart delivered a lackluster 2.6% US comp, its weakest in six years, offset by a 46% jump in global advertising and nearly $3 billion in tariff refunds the company says it will reinvest in price. Target posted a nearly 4% comp with traffic up 3.6%; real progress, though Steve cautions the invitation can be better than the party. In off-price, TJX comped 4% while Ross Stores turned in a second straight double-digit quarter. And Simon Property Group made the case that great physical retail is alive and well. The interview, recorded live at the CommerceNext Growth Show in New York, features Scott Friend, Partner at Bain Capital Ventures, and Indy Guha, General Partner at VMG Partners. Scott co-founded price optimization pioneer ProfitLogic before joining BCV twenty years ago; Indy co-leads VMG's commerce infrastructure fund after scaling Signifyd. Together they tackle a hard question: when AI makes everything easier to build, how do you tell a real company from a pitch formula? Their answer centers on founder clarity and earned domain expertise, because a couple of quarters' head start has never mattered more. The conversation ranges across whether personalization and merchandising optimization are now table stakes, the surveillance pricing debate, AI-driven homogeneity versus the promise of the "N of one" customer journey, and Indy's memorable "Claude-proof" test for anyone building in commerce. Both push back on agentic commerce hype, arguing agents will own low-interest replenishment missions while people keep the treasure hunt. Scott points to the revenue ramp of AI-native companies as evidence this cycle is real, not overhyped. Both land in the same place: brand, community, and authenticity are the last durable moats, and retail teams must become architects rather than assembly-line workers. Back in studio, on the radar: Steve tracks the bond market, with 30-year Treasuries at a 19-year high and the 10-year at 4.75%, squeezing discretionary income and retailer expansion plans alike. Michael watches Canadian icon Roots, newly sold to New York's Marquee Brands with Joe Mimran advising on merchandising, and asks whether the brand can reclaim its former glory. Registration is open for a special webinar featuring Steve in conversation with Placer AI's Head of Analytical Research RJ Hottovy. From changing shopping patterns to emerging market opportunities, shifting consumer demand continues to reshape the industry. So don't miss this data-driven session unpacking the most important trends defining today's marketplace and the strategies leading brands are using to win retail's future. It's all brought to you by Placer.AI and It all happens on Tuesday September 29 at 1pm ET..Register here today:https://www.placer.ai/discover-events/discover-shifting-consumer-demand About UsSteve Dennis is a strategic advisor and keynote speaker focused on growth and innovation, who has also been named one of the world's top retail influencers.

What happens when four professionals in the design industry meet by chance, become fast friends, and decide to use their collective talents to give back? Meet the Design Besties: Nikki Watson, Lori Johnson, Robin DelaCruz, and Whitney Atkinson. What started with a chance meeting at the Vacation Rental Design Summit quickly turned into a daily group text, a genuine friendship, and eventually a nonprofit with a big mission: transforming teachers' lounges into beautiful, restorative spaces that give educators a place to recharge. In this episode, Michelle sits down with the four creatives behind the Design Besties to talk about how their friendship came together, what makes their collaboration work so well, and why they believe there is always room at the table.

Missy Tannen spent five years teaching third grade and a decade as a stay-at-home mom before she ever thought about starting a company. But when she couldn't find bedding that was high-quality, ethically sourced, and traceable, she and her husband Scott started Boll & Branch out of pure frustration. On this episode of She Pivots, Missy talks about betting the family's life savings on an idea, borrowing against their own house even while sales were taking off, and what it took to scale from a garage operation to a 200-person company without losing what made it different in the first place. She's brutally honest about the mess behind the milestones (a full batch of ivory sheets that came out green!) and about running a family business—that’s now worth over $250 million—with her husband while raising their kids.

LeBron James is a Philadelphia 76er, and his No. 23 jersey just became the best selling jersey ever for a player joining a new team in the first 48 hours across all sports, passing Shohei Ohtani's 2023 Dodgers record. Covino and Rich dig into what that says about LeBron's pull at 41, then settle which LeBron jersey you buy and keep forever once he retires, before laying out the official Covino and Rich jersey rules: when you temporarily retire a traded player's jersey, why grown men should stick with the legends, the Yankee rule, and the only acceptable way to put your own name on the back. From there it's the Shaq debate (90s pinstripe Magic or Lakers purple and gold), Arizona State becoming the first school in the country to offer a content creation major and whether any parent should cough up $100,000 a year for a kid to study influencing, and a full rundown of must have backyard games, from cornhole to a ten dollar HomeGoods ring toss to an argument about how to pronounce badminton that nobody wins. Overpromised is the uncensored bonus show from Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. #FSR #CRSHOW #OverpromisedSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You left your career to build something on your own terms. You built it. And somewhere along the way, it started to feel a little too safe — competent, capable, and quietly like it could belong to anyone.This episode is about the difference between a business that's efficient and a business that's actually you — and how I stumbled into that realization somewhere between a therapy session, an HGTV binge, and a two-hour wander around HomeGoods.If your brand feels a little too polished and not quite specific enough right now, that's not a sign something's wrong. It might just be a sign you've outgrown the version of the business you built.—Come tell me what part of you has been asking for more room lately on Instagram → @catescreative.studioReady to figure out exactly where the gap is?

This week, Jessica and Sonia spiral over the internet's latest girl's hiking trip gone wildly wrong (yes, it somehow involves diarrhea, wet wipes, and a $70,000 airlift), question why TJ Maxx and HomeGoods seem to trigger the exact same biological response in every woman, and debate whether influencer finger tapping needs to be retired forever. Plus, Sonia gears up for Annabelle first day of kindergarten with custom sneakers and school supply planning, Jess navigates the unexpectedly intense world of Montessori school supply lists, and the moms unpack the heartbreaking Ohio case involving 16 children rescued from unimaginable conditions—sharing their thoughts on the ongoing investigation, motherhood, and the families forever changed by it.

This week on Between Us Moms, we're talking about everything from mom hacks and home refreshes to the biggest parenting debates dominating the internet.Hallie shares why her overflowing social calendar is taking over her brain, a simple swap that's helping her reduce waste and lower her carbon footprint, and the surprisingly effective way she gets motivated to check off those lingering house projects. Katie is in full home makeover mode, sharing her latest finds from Prime Day, Home Depot, HomeGoods, Costco, and why she's suddenly obsessed with ferns. Plus, she reveals the feedback her husband, Jason, has for the podcast.Then it's time for Headlines That Made Us Text Each Other.First, we unpack the viral conversation surrounding Emily Ratajkowski's deeply personal essay for The Cut, where she opens up about divorce, dating, single motherhood, and the quote everyone can't stop discussing: "Having a child with the wrong man is one of the fastest ways to ruin your life." We discuss whether she's right, why her comments have sparked so much debate, and whether choosing the wrong parenting partner really can change the course of your life.Next, we're diving into the internet's latest parenting controversy after North West attended Paris Fashion Week without Kim Kardashian by her side. With North only recently turning 13, and considering Kim's traumatic 2016 Paris robbery, was this a sign of healthy independence or a parenting decision that went too far? We share our honest takes.Finally, in The Mom Algorithm, we're breaking down the viral 51% Rule—the mindset shift that's inspiring people to stop letting fear of judgment make their decisions.

Clutter is not just a mess you walk around, it is a constant tax on your time, your attention, and your ability to say yes to the life you actually want. We dig into minimalism as a practical tool for both travel and home, because packing light is only half the story. The other half is what happens when you walk back through your front door and your space either supports you or instantly stresses you out.Website link: https://www.katyjoywells.comBook purchase link: https://amzn.to/4oWSp5eKaty's Instagram link: https://www.instagram.com/katyjoywells/Decluttering Style Quiz: https://www.katyjoywells.com/decluttering-style-quizGILLY LOCO:Website: https://gillyloco.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gillyloco/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gilly_loco/We're joined by Katie Joy Wells, author of *Making Home Your Happy Place* and host of *The Maximize Minimalist*. Katie shares her real-life turning point and the mindset shifts behind holistic decluttering, from clearing the mental “shoulds” to building systems that actually match your season of life. We talk carry-on packing, decision fatigue, the “just in case” spiral, and why so many of us pack for an aspirational version of ourselves instead of the person we are today. You'll also hear practical travel tips like keeping an always-ready toiletry bag and creating clear “homes” for your essentials so unpacking and repacking stops feeling like a recurring crisis.Then we pivot to ourconversation with Mark Escajeda of Gilly Loco, a New Mexico brand making coconut oil tortilla chips and salsas with simple, recognizable ingredients. We get into what “seed oil-free” means to customers, why coconut oil is central to their process, and where you can buy Gilly Loco chips nationwide, including HomeGoods, plus online shipping and select grocery partners.Also mentioned in this episode:Onli Travel:https://onlitravel.com/ Use code ROAM10 for 10% OFF through August 2026Lauri Newell — Victory OrganizingProfessional organizing for your life and work spaces, based in Nashville, TN.

Off-price and value retail is often misunderstood. A lot of founders think of it as a last resort for excess inventory, but it can actually be a strategic channel for discovery, customer acquisition, and incremental revenue.In this episode, I talk with Matt Goldbloom, Founder and CEO of Common Shelf, about how brands can approach retailers like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross, Burlington, and HomeGoods with the right strategy. We break down what buyers are looking for, how the treasure hunt model works, and how founders can think about pricing, packaging, and protecting brand equity.We also get into how Matt is building a lean team using global talent and AI-supported workflows to move faster and reduce founder bottlenecks.This episode is sponsored by Plus Forty, which helps CPG brands and service providers build lean, reliable teams with vetted global talent.Exclusive Foodbevy Offer: Plus Forty is giving 2 brands 5 free VA hours with no upfront costs.

Key Takeaways: Why Retail Looks Attractive for 2026Retail is poised to outperform, especially vs. flex/industrial, due to:Very low new development (only ~30M sq ft projected in 2026, ~70% single-tenant).Steady demand and low vacancies (around 5% vacancy, which aligns with typical underwriting assumptions).The U.S. is overbuilt on retail overall, but the type of new retail has shifted:Less big-box expansion.More mixed-use and smaller retail footprints.Investor sentiment is bullish:Cap rates have stabilized.Transaction volume is above pre-pandemic levels.Example: A Blackstone affiliate bought a $432M grocery-anchored portfolio, signaling strong conviction in retail.Retail's Fundamentals & EvolutionE-commerce and Amazon did not kill physical retail, but forced:Some brands to adapt (e.g., Best Buy).Others to disappear (e.g., Circuit City).Successful retail is becoming more experiential:People still want to touch/try/see products in person.In-person shopping often beats the friction of returns from online purchases.Neighborhood Strip Centers: The Sweet SpotUnanchored / neighborhood strip centers (10k–50k sq ft) are increasingly attractive:High occupancy, steady rent growth, strong investor interest.Adaptive tenant mix and easier to manage turnover.Tyler's own portfolio of neighborhood retail:Collected ~92–93% of rents during the pandemic by working flexibly with tenants.Demonstrates resilience of well-located neighborhood retail.Market Data & Tenants to WatchStore openings (ex‑restaurants) projected to grow 1.4% in 2026.Restaurant openings projected to grow 1.8%.Tenants/brands to watch:H‑E‑B, Michaels, Walmart, Dillard's, Pop Mart, 7 Brew, Dave's Hot Chicken, HomeGoods, EOS Fitness, Chuck E. Cheese.Markets to watch (for retail strength and rent growth):Salt Lake City, Reno (NV), Indianapolis, Raleigh–Durham, Tampa–St. Pete.Forecast average rent growth ~1.5%, but value‑add deals can outperform this via:Under-market rents.Older centers with room for modernization and repositioning.How Tyler Analyzes a Retail Deal (Key Lessons)Using a Walmart shadow‑anchored strip center near Hopkinsville (~32.6k sq ft, asking $5.613M, ~7–9% cap depending on inputs):Quick back-of-the-napkin test:Purchase price per sq ft × 10% ≈ rent per sq ft needed for a 10% cap.At $171/sq ft, that's ~$17/sq ft NNN.Financials from the OM:Gross income ≈ $19.41/sq ft.NOI ≈ $15.47/sq ft → roughly $4/sq ft in expenses.Mix of NNN and gross/modified gross leases → value‑add by converting more to NNN.Modeling assumptions & challenges:Various scenarios on LTV (70–75%), interest rate (~6–6.5%), and rent bumps (1–5%/yr).With current pricing and debt costs, IRR initially comes out too low vs. a 15% target.To hit target returns, you either need:Lower purchase price, orStronger rent growth / re‑leasing at higher rates, orSome combination of both.But:Even at today's terms, the deal can cash flow reasonably:Around 6–7% cash‑on‑cash in year one at higher equity (e.g., 50% down).Debt service coverage can be acceptable (~1.2x+) at some leverage levels.With modest rent increases (e.g., ~$1/sq ft more), the value jump can be large when capitalized at market cap rates.Practical Investing TakeawaysRetail vs. Flex:Flex is “easy” and forgiving for beginners.Retail is more nuanced (demographics, visibility, traffic counts, parking).But if you buy existing, stabilized centers, much of that risk has already been “tested by the market.”Follow the big players:Watch where Chick‑fil‑A, Starbucks, major grocers, and big PE firms (e.g., Blackstone) are putting money.They've already paid for the best data and analysis—you can ride their coattails.Value-add retail playbook:Target existing strip centers, especially near strong anchors (or shadow‑anchored).Look for:Under‑market rents.Non‑NNN leases you can convert.Short‑term leases you can roll to higher rates.Small rent bumps across multiple tenants can dramatically increase property value.Tyler's Projects & Next StepsSalt Ranch boutique hotel in Nashville:Opening planned for April 1, 2026.He's currently working through fire inspections and final permits.He's written a six‑part blog series documenting the entire Salt Ranch journey (finding the deal, vendors, mistakes, etc.).Office Hours:He'll be live again next Tuesday, 8:30am Central, for Q&A on deals, breaking into CRE, and strategy.

Today on the podcast, I'm talking with Isabella Montano Ghazarians, the founder of Isabella MG. Isabella MG is a Latina-owned stationery brand known for its cheerful, light-hearted cards and cositas, that's Spanish for little things. One of the things I really enjoy about Isabella's work is how naturally she weaves her culture into her products, creating designs that are both in English and Spanish. These products feel thoughtful, inclusive, and genuinely joyful. In this episode, Isabella shares what it's been like growing her business since she launched in 2020 while also navigating some really big personal shifts. We're talking about becoming a mom recently, moving from San Diego to Los Angeles, and continuing to lead a growing team remotely. We also talk about building products that resonate across cultures, managing that remote team we mentioned, and the opportunities that have helped bring Isabella's work into big box retailers like Target and HomeGoods. Today's episode is brought to you by our Paper Camp program. Paper Camp is our wholesale coaching program where we teach you everything you need to know to build strong wholesale foundations. Over the course of 4 weeks, we tackle your product line, sales tools, and marketing plan, and we even talk about how to exhibit at trade shows if that's what you want to do. We start with your product line and go into everything from how often you should be releasing new products to ensuring that your numbers are sustainable for the wholesale market and their price for profit. Then we move into sales tools you must have for selling wholesale so you make a strong first impression with buyers like catalogs and your terms and conditions. Then, we cover marketing strategies and ways to reach various store owners. Each week's teachings build on the previous week, and we host weekly live engaging coaching calls to answer all of your questions. We will open enrollment for our next round of Paper Camp soon, and we sell this program out every time we run it. Join the waitlist, and you'll get early access to enroll.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/YzuDUWrzZZc Day 7 of the Brian Walshe Trial happened on December 9, 2025. The prosecution is using known DNA samples collected from Brian and Ana Walshe by the FBI back in 2018 for comparison with crime scene evidence. Most of the DNA from the tested items came back as a single source matching Ana Walshe. Some samples were identified as mixed sources containing DNA from both Ana and Brian Walshe. Details of Brian Walshe's rapid purchases of rugs, candles, towels, and bath mats at HomeGoods on January 2nd and 4th, and the revelation that he paid with gift cards from Ana's no-receipt returns. It is important to prove premeditation and the possible lesser-included charges the jury may consider.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/EJzkF3oa7ao Day 4 of the Brian Walshe Trial happened on December 4, 2025. Ana Walshe's paramour, William Fastow, takes the stand, confirming their intimate relationship and future plans. He reveals they planned to celebrate New Year's together on January 4th—the same day Brian Walshe reported Ana missing. Surveillance video is shown of a tall, dark-clothed figure driving Brian's Volvo SUV to an apartment complex dumpster, disposing of a bag, and immediately leaving. Cell phone data from Brian Walshe's iPhone SE is presented, which lines up with the location of the dumpster seen in the video, as well as multiple other key locations (Lowe's, HomeGoods, and his mother's apartment complex where other evidence was seized). Evidence is shown of Brian's alarming Google searches from December 25th, including searches for William Fastow and the phrase "Anna Walshe found dead." William Fasto confirms that their mutual friend, Gem Mutlu (Ana's former boss, who was with the Walshes on New Year's Eve), introduced him to Ana.

TJX, the parent company of off-price retailers T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods, posted excellent earnings this week, while Target cut its sales forecast. “Off-price” means TJX sells excess inventory at a discount, which may be more attractive to increasingly stressed shoppers hunting for deals. Also in this episode: Political affiliation colors consumer sentiment, USDA cuts end a major revenue stream for small-scale farmers, and supply chains are unusually slow this holiday season.Every story has an economic angle.
