Welcome to another completely stable and professionally executed daily comedy show… where one host is preparing for a cruise that may or may not include hostage negotiations, another is heading to Vegas to sit on a radio panel titled “Reports of Our Death Are Greatly Exaggerated” (which feels aggressive), and the rest of us are arguing about hockey and stuffed monkeys.Rafe is setting sail toward Mexico during what the news is lovingly describing as “a tense time,” and naturally we handle it with firearms training jokes, cartel commentary, and Norwegian Cruise Line optimism. Meanwhile, Rizz is headed to Vegas for a radio conference panel alongside a guy flying his own private plane. Rizz? Row 20 on Southwest. Celebrity row, obviously. Fremont-adjacent accommodations. Lifts packed. Confidence medium.We also spiral into Vegas buffet strategy like it's a military operation. Crab legs first. No bread. Absolutely no French toast. If you leave feeling fine, you did it wrong. That's the rule.Back in STL, Moon lived his best cultured life at Phantom of the Opera at The Fabulous Fox Theatre (tears were shed, nuts were purchased), then followed it up with a suite-level experience at a St. Louis City SC match where apparently the buffet alone deserves its own documentary. Meanwhile, Rizz is still emotionally recovering from Canada being “butthurt” about losing Olympic hockey in overtime. Scoreboard is the judge. That's how sports work.We also check in on Punch the abandoned baby monkey who went viral hugging his IKEA orangutan, debate whether AI is the future or the apocalypse, invent a game show called House of Steve, and confirm that yes, Vegas is expensive now and no, the $4.99 steak days are gone forever.This daily comedy show somehow covers cruise chaos, Olympic gold, Broadway tears, casino buffets, monkey redemption arcs, and trivia-night costume strategy in one episode. It's chaotic. It's unnecessary. It's exactly what you signed up for.If you like funny stories, pop culture commentary, sports meltdowns, entertainment gossip, and sarcastic humor from a funny morning show in St. Louis, congratulations — you've found your new favorite daily comedy 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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What a weekend! After digging out on Friday after work, I took my sore back downtown & watched the US Men beat Slovakia to advance to the Gold Medal game, which they also won! Talked a lot about the Olympics wrapping up this weekend, including a final medal count & some of the bigger stories from the last few weeks in Italy. Elsewhere in the news this morning, the latest on the violence in Mexico, an update on the search for Nancy Guthrie, and a look at the blizzard hitting parts of the East Coast. In sports, the Bucks won on Friday after a long break for the NBA All-Star game, but lost yesterday to the Raptors. The Badgers took care of Iowa yesterday afternoon, Tyler Reddick won his 2nd consecutive race, the Brewers are struggling in Spring training, and Vikings wide receiver Rondale Moore died over the weekend. Let you know what's on TV today/tonight and recapped "Dead of Winter" which the wife & I watched this weekend. Unless you've been living in a bunker recently, you know about Punch the Monkey. He's going super-viral after his mother refused to care for him at a zoo in Japan. And now IKEA is helping out after the zoo used a stuffed animal to help Punch. In other sports related items, Conor McGregor apparently wants to fight again, Pirates legend Bill Mazeroski died, and a fan ran onto the court of a college basketball game and tried to block a player's dunk. Check out these guys who set a record by playing Pickleball for 28 hours straight! And ICYMI, a dog that was abandoned at an airport has now been adopted by one of the airport officers who responded to the call of his abandonment! And a guy in Chicago is a hero after jumping into the freezing waters of Lake Michigan to rescue a baby who's stroller was blown into the lake by a strong gust of wind! Apparently, Mr. Clean is "retiring", and Dunkin' Donuts is testing a giant coffee bucket in some New England locations. Plus, tomorrow is "National Tortilla Chip" day, so Chipotle is giving away free chips & queso! And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about people pooping on the L.A. buses, a software engineer who somehow gained control of several thousand robot vacuums, an elementary school teacher in North Carolina who had a bad day at a Sam's Club, a Circle K in Arizona that sold a winning lottery ticket, a medic in Pittsburgh who was stealing rubber gloves from work & trading them for free pizza, and an auto repair shop in Iowa that made some questionable commercials.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The torch has been passed, the medals have been handed out, and the "Miracle on Ice" repeats itself 26 years later. Dave and Tyler recap a heartbreaking Olympic Sunday as both the Canadian Men's and Women's hockey teams take home silver after overtime thrillers against the Americans. Dave breaks down the Sidney Crosby injury and the dominance of Hellebuyck, while Tyler reveals the details of his "L" date with Mitch.

Plus, we celebrate Brad Jacobs' gold medal run and gear up for the return of the Winnipeg Jets.

Hoy recordaremos la vida del único hombre capaz de convencer a toda una nación de que un señor de Zaragoza, con menos cuello que un muñeco de Lego, podía ser el mayor imán de mujeres de la Península Ibérica. Hablamos de Fernando Julián Esteso Allué, el titán que nos enseñó que entre una sueca en bikini y un chiste de gangosos, el español de los 70 siempre elegía las dos cosas. Fernando nació el 16 de febrero de 1945 en Zaragoza en una familia de itinerantes joteros, empezando a trabajar de payaso junto a sus padres siendo muy niño. Vamos, que Fernando no pisó un colegio ni pa resguardarse de la lluvia. En 1964, con 19 años, se mudó aquí a Madrid para probar suerte con el teatro de variedades, donde aprendió que si no tienes la mandíbula de Brad Pitt, lo mejor es poner cara de estar oliendo un queso rancio y cantar el "Bellotero". Aquella canción fue el primer algoritmo de la historia: si la escuchabas tres veces, te daban ganas de invadir Gibraltar con una boina y fumándote un Ducados. En 1972, Fernando se casó con Maria José Egea con quién tuvo a su hijo Fernando y su hija Arancha. El matrimonio se divorció en 1992 porque no se habían dado cuenta que habían pasado 20 años que si no se divorcian antes. En los 80, mientras el resto del mundo descubría la informática, Fernando estaba ocupado fundando la "Iglesia del Ombligo". Junto a su compadre Andrés Pajares, formó un dúo que tenía más química que Breaking Bad y más vello pectoral que una alfombra de IKEA. Sus películas eran tan profundas que el guión solía escribirse en la parte de atrás de una cuenta de marisquería. Él era el héroe que España necesitaba: un tipo que siempre perdía los pantalones, pero nunca el hambre. Fernando se convirtió en la época del destape y de las películas erotico-humorísticas en el rey de la taquilla y mientras otros se retiraban a escribir memorias intensas, Fernando se mantenía ahí, con su dignidad intacta y su bigote imperturbable, recordándonos una época en la que la libertad de expresión consistía básicamente en ver a una señora en topless mientras un señor gritaba: "¡Ramona, dame de comer!". En esta época Fernando ya medía lo mismo que un frigorífico de camping y llevaba el bigote que parecía el flequillo de un poni. En 1993, apartado casi del cine, fue fichado por Telecinco donde presentó La Ruleta de la Fortuna y Veraneando con Bertín Osborne, otro que huele fuerte a Barón Dandy y a carajillo. Pero de repente Telecinco dijo que debido al deterioro físico y mental del actor ya no lo podían poner a presentar ni el Teletienda y el juez le dijo a Telecinco que eso estaba mu feo, que eso no se le dice ni a Javier Cárdenas y obligó a indemnizar a Fernando con más de 1 millón de euros. Entrados ya en la década del 2010, Fernando se mudó a Valencia y siguió participando esporádicamente en producciones de gran calidad como Torrente 4 y 5, La que se avecina o Gym Tony y en 2011 grabó una nueva versión de La Ramona junto a King Africa, que no hacía ninguna falta, pero al hombre le hacía ilusión. Desgraciadamente, el 1 de febrero de 2026, con 80 años, Fernando no se pudo terminar el carajillo, aunque ustedes siempre podrán recordarlo cuando vean a una mujer haciendo topless o tengan que montarle a su sobrino un muñequito de Lego.

In this episode of Turnkey Design Talk, I unpack what I call “The IKEA Problem” in interior design — the dangerous gap between delivering a concept and delivering a completed space.Many designers operate in a design-only or hybrid service model. The concept is created. The drawings are issued. Selections are specified. And then the client manages the build, procurement, and installation.On paper, it sounds efficient and flexible.In practice, it often leads to blurred responsibility, drifting timelines, unpaid advisory work, compromised results — and a gradual erosion of professional authority.Using the analogy of IKEA flat-pack furniture, I break down five specific mistakes designers make once the design phase ends:Confusing design deliverables with a finished outcomeLetting clients manage professional implementationCreating a leadership gap during installationBlurring accountability between designer, client, and tradesCharging for the concept while mentally “assembling” the project for freeIf you've ever delivered drawings and quietly watched a project drift…If you're still answering site questions long after your design fee has been paid…If you're not consistently photographing finished work under your leadership…This episode is for you.Because authority isn't built on dropping off design and wishing the client your best...It's built on finished spaces.If this episode raised questions for you, or you're feeling stuck in your solo design business, you don't have to figure it out on your own.I offer a 30-minute clarity session where we can talk through where you're at, what's getting in the way, and whether I can help.Email me at askadam@turnkeydesignsuccess.com

Speaker: David McBride Have you ever felt like a "spare part" in the grand scheme of things? Perhaps you look at people with big, visible talents and wonder if your small contributions actually hold any weight. We've all been there—feeling a bit wobbly, like a half-built piece of flat-pack furniture, wondering if we're missing the most important pieces. In this conversation, we dive into Romans 12:6–8 to uncover a liberating truth: there are no spare parts in God's kingdom. Using everything from IKEA assembly stories to the grit of a rugby scrum, we explore how "grace gifts" like encouragement, serving, and mercy aren't just nice gestures—they are the vital "nails" that hold the entire structure of the community together. What if the thing you're naturally good at is exactly what someone else needs to see to believe? We challenge the idea that you need to be a "super Christian" to make an impact. Instead, we're invited to start exactly where we are, with the shoes that fit us, and see how one small act of faithfulness can create ripples further than we could ever imagine.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what marketing really is, how it's defined, and why so many people are getting it wrong.According to the Chartered Institute of Marketing, marketing is about identifying, anticipating, and meeting customer needs while making a profit. But what does that actually mean for your business?

-The Supreme Court strikes down Trump's tariff authority, Rob briefly considers flipping Ikea furniture, then regroups and declares it merely a “skirmish” in a decade-long political cage match. -Tony Kinnett from the Daily Signal joins to emphasize the importance of the midterms — and warns that Americans are tired of being promised the moon and handed sand gravel.

BONUS: From Individual AI Wins to Team-Wide Transformation What happens when the leaders we trust to guide transformation become the bottleneck slowing it down? In this episode, Monica Marquez—with 25+ years in people transformation at Goldman Sachs, Google, and beyond—reveals why the old equation of effort equals success is breaking down, and what leaders must unlearn to thrive in the age of AI. The Leadership Crisis Nobody Trained You For "No one ever really teaches you what it really takes to be a leader. You know what you do really well, but how do you help other people do that too? That's when I realized it comes down to becoming a really good leader."   Monica's origin story captures a universal struggle: being promoted for technical excellence, then discovering that leading people requires completely different skills. She spent her career at organizations like Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Ernst & Young, and Google realizing that systems weren't built for everyone—and that the real work of leadership is redesigning those systems to unlock human potential. Today, through her company Flipwork, she helps leaders and teams become what she calls "agentic humans"—people who leverage AI to get ahead rather than getting left behind. The Command and Control Trap "Most leadership development still rewards the command and control archetype. The person who has all the answers, the decisive hero. But AI moves so fast that when you think you've fixed something, it changes the next day. Leaders are starting to become bottlenecks."   The research shows the problem clearly: middle management is where AI adoption stalls. These leaders cling to command and control because relinquishing it feels like losing their value. Worse, they have an unspoken fear of managing AI agents—they don't want to be liable for outputs they don't fully control. Monica reframes this: treat your AI tools like an artificial intern, not artificial intelligence. You wouldn't take an intern's first draft and hand it to leadership. You train them, provide context, and finesse the output. The same discipline applies to LLMs. Rewriting the Success Equation "Effort = success is the old equation. That's pre-AI. The new equation is impact equals success. Output equals success, and impact equals worth."   This might be the most important shift leaders need to make. When tasks that took 4 hours now take 30 minutes, deeply conditioned beliefs about work ethic get threatened. Monica sees leaders questioning their worth because they're producing faster. "I was always taught I have to work twice as hard to get half as far," she shares. "Now what used to take me 10 hours, I can get done in 4. Am I not worthy anymore of being a high performer?" The answer is to measure impact, not effort—and that requires rewiring beliefs that may be decades old. Why Individual AI Adoption Doesn't Scale "Teams are using AI as individual contributors, but they aren't using AI in their actual workflows and the handoffs. That's why leaders are scratching their heads, like, why aren't we seeing the ROI bubble up into the team?"   Here's the gap most organizations miss: individuals save an hour or two per day using AI for personal productivity, but the team never sees compounding benefits. The handoffs between team members remain manual. The friction points persist. Monica's solution is "flip labs"—90-day sprints where teams take one critical workflow, dissect it, and rebuild it with AI. Where can AI handle the $10 tasks so humans can focus on $10,000 decisions? Where should humans remain in the loop? IKEA did this with customer service, retraining displaced workers into design roles. Revenue increased without adding headcount. Leading Through Uncertainty "We're humans wired for certainty, but Agile is a system designed for uncertainty. That's where the behavioral psychology comes in—how do you help people move forward despite the uncertainty?"   The fundamental challenge is biological: our brains seek certainty, but the only certain thing now is that change will come faster than we can adapt. Monica works with teams to create psychologically safe spaces for experimentation—AB testing old workflows against AI-augmented ones, measuring outputs, and learning from failures. "Sometimes we learn more from the failures than we do the successes," she notes. The leaders who create permission for testing and learning will pull ahead; those who demand control will become the bottleneck that slows their entire organization.   About Monica Marquez Monica Marquez is a leadership and workplace AI advisor with 25+ years in people transformation. She coined the "returnship" at Goldman Sachs, helped found Google's Product Inclusion Council, and now guides leaders and teams to adopt AI, agile, and inclusion practices that drive results through her company Flipwork, Inc.   You can connect with Monica Marquez on LinkedIn and subscribe to her Ay, Ay, Ay!

Episode Description: “What's the real story behind that viral crack in Austin's 290 flyover—are we safe, or just trusting the power of a cone?”

In crowded markets, most organizations fight to be slightly better than everyone else. But some of the most successful companies in history took a different path.

If there were ever a holiday that felt personally designed for me, it's Bolludagur, Iceland's cream bun day and, in my opinion, Iceland's most delicious holiday. Bolludagur takes place every year on the Monday before Lent. And on this day, Iceland collectively agrees to eat an unreasonable amount of cream bun without guilt, without shame, and usually without stopping at just one. What Is a Bolla, Exactly? A bolla is an Icelandic cream bun. Traditionally, it's made from a light choux-style pastry that's sliced open, filled generously with whipped cream and sometimes jam, and then topped with chocolate glaze or icing. That's the classic version, but modern Bolludagur has evolved far beyond that. These days, bakeries get wildly creative with flavors, fillings, and toppings, which is exactly why this day has become such a big deal. Why Bolludagur Is a Thing in Iceland? Bolludagur is part of Iceland's version of Carnival, leading into Lent. Historically, it was about indulging before a period of restraint, but in true Icelandic fashion, it turned into a full-blown pastry event. How Much Do Cream Buns Cost in Iceland? Before we get into the bakeries, let's talk price. As of 2026, most Icelandic cream buns fall somewhere between: 575 ISK ($4.70) – 925 ISK ($7.56) per bun Prices vary depending on the bakery, the size, and how elaborate the bun is. This is just an estimate based on current offerings — prices may be higher or lower in the future, so always check directly with the bakery. 5 Places Worth Visiting for Cream Buns in Reykjavík 1. Plantan Kaffihús and Bistro Plantan is a plant-based favorite in Reykjavík, and for Bolludagur they're going all in with six different cream buns this year: Snickers Swedish Semla Biscoff Cheesecake Classic Matcha Raspberry If you're vegan, plant-based, lactose intolerant, or just curious, Plantan is absolutely worth a stop. 2. Brauð & Co. One of Reykjavík's most recognizable bakeries, Brauð & Co. is offering five varieties: Classic Vanilla Nougat Yuzu Lemon Vegan Caramel If you want something that feels both traditional and playful, this is a great place to check out 3. Passion Reykjavík Passion Reykjavík wins for sheer variety. They're offering 15 different cream buns, which is honestly impressive. Some of their flavors include: After Eight Hressobolla (rumored “cream bun of the year” for 2026) Classic Croissant-style Irish Strawberry Caramel Coconut Nóa Kropp (Icelandic candy) Oreo Púnd (rum cream with sifted icing sugar) Snickers & Banana Twix Valentine's Edition Vegan version If you want options — a lot of options — this is the place. 4. IKEA Yes. IKEA. IKEA in Iceland fully participates in Bolludagur and offers seven cream buns: Strawberry Banana cream & hazelnut butter Chocolate & licorice Classic with chocolate sauce Classic with caramel Vegan with chocolate Vegan with caramel These are also typically the most affordable cream buns you'll find. 5. Deig Deig keeps things refined but flavorful with five varieties: Rosehip jam Raspberry jam Vanilla almond Nutella Pistachio If you like pastries that feel a little more elegant, Deig is a solid choice. Random Fact of the Episode Every year for Bolludagur, over one million cream buns are made and sold across Iceland — making it one of the most pastry-intensive days of the entire year. Icelandic Word of the Episode Bolluvöndur – A decorated stick children use on Bolludagur to playfully “demand” cream buns by tapping their parents and chanting “Bolla! Bolla! Bolla!” Share this with a Friend Pinterest Facebook Email Let’s Be Social Youtube Instagram Tiktok Facebook
