He explains how studying the Word of God confronted areas of compromise and ultimately led him toward repentance, transformation, and a new calling to teach on biblical sexuality. Throughout the conversation, TS and Mark address the growing cultural conflict surrounding sexuality, identity, truth, and the authority of Scripture. Mark challenges ideas such as defining truth individually and argues that Christians must evaluate cultural messages through the standard of God's Word.Mark also discusses the biblical framework presented in Sacred Sexuality, including his study of 185 Scriptures related to sexuality. The conversation examines God's design for sexual purity, holiness, marriage, singleness, celibacy, and the broader Christian call to live a life surrendered to Christ. The discussion then turns toward one of the most difficult questions facing many Christian families today: How do believers minister to someone they love who is living contrary to their understanding of biblical sexuality?Mark emphasizes several principles:Christians should first examine their own lives and walk in alignment with Scripture.Believers are called to share truth, but transforming another person is the work of the Holy Spirit.Prayer should be central to ministry and evangelism.Biblical truth should be communicated with both conviction and grace.No person is beyond the reach of God's mercy, forgiveness, and transforming power.TS and Mark also broaden the discussion beyond homosexuality or transgender issues, emphasizing that biblical sexual ethics address pornography, masturbation, prostitution, adultery, sexual activity outside marriage, and other forms of sexual sin. Their central message is that every believer is called to repentance, holiness, and surrender regardless of the particular area of temptation or struggle. The episode concludes with a message of hope: no one is too far gone for Jesus Christ. God's mercy remains available to those who turn to Him, and Christians are called to stand firmly upon biblical truth while extending grace to a culture searching for identity, meaning, and freedom.Featured Guest: Mark Richard Featured Book: Sacred Sexuality: Grace and Truth Revealed in a Culture of Confusion Recorded at: CPE, St. Charles, Missouri Host: TS Wright Podcast: Kingdom Cross Roads PodcastCall to ActionSubscribe to Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, share this episode, and join us as we equip believers to stand on biblical truth, extend Christ-centered grace, and carry the Gospel into a culture desperately searching for answers.Keywords / TagsMark Richard, Sacred Sexuality, biblical sexuality, Christian sexuality, sexual purity, biblical truth, Christian worldview, homosexuality and Christianity, LGBTQ Christianity, transgender Christianity, gender identity, same sex attraction, Christian testimony, freedom in Christ, repentance, grace and truth, holiness, sexual sin, pornography Christianity, biblical marriage, Christian marriage, singleness and celibacy, evangelism, Holy Spirit, prayer, Jesus Christ, Christian discipleship, biblical identity, culture of confusion, Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, TS Wright, CPE 2026, Christian podcast, faith podcast, Christian authors
Tonight at 8:30pm CST, on the Flyover Conservatives show we are tackling the most important things going on RIGHT NOW from a Conservative Christian perspective! China controls a major share of America's pork industry, Brazilian-owned companies hold enormous influence over the beef market, and just four companies control roughly 85% of U.S. meat processing. Could America's dependence on foreign interests and corporate giants become a serious national security threat?Former Army Ranger and Valor Provisions founder Patrick Montgomery joins David and Stacy to expose the vulnerabilities hiding within America's food supply. He explains how misleading labels such as “grass-fed,” “pasture-raised,” and “Product of the USA” can exploit regulatory loopholes—and why the disappearance of independent American farms should concern every family. Patrick also shares practical ways to find trustworthy food, support American farmers, and help protect our nation's food independence.TO WATCH ALL FLYOVER CONTENT: www.theflyoverapp.com Follow and Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFlyoverConservativesShow Experience Your Own Healing Using Frequencieswww.wavwatch.com/flyoverUse promo code FLYOVER for 15% off► Receive your FREE 52 Date Night Ideas Playbook to make date night more exciting, go to www.prosperousmarriage.comPatrick MontgomeryWEBSITE: https://valorprovisions.usGet Your Own Washington Book: https://a.co/d/0bCpHsgp INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/valorprovisions.us/FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61567300500273YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@ValorProvisionsUS TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@valor.provisions Patrick Montgomery is a former Army Ranger, entrepreneur, rancher, and the founder of Valor Provisions.

Since 1973, Missouri has been among a handful of states where judges would not grant divorce if one of the spouses was pregnant. But as of today, that's no longer the case. We hear from the state representative who sponsored a new law that clarifies such proceedings, and we discuss what the change could mean for families, and for courts, with a St. Louis family law attorney.

The Rizzuto Show kicks things off by remembering Tim Curry, his legendary career, and the unfortunate timing of losing another beloved celebrity during an already emotional week. That leads the crew into the important question of who could possibly fill the role of a universally beloved celebrity these days. Adam Sandler gets consideration, Jeff Bridges enters the conversation, and eventually Keanu Reeves emerges as a pretty strong candidate because apparently quietly eating ice cream and being a decent human being now qualifies you for sainthood. Fair enough.Then everybody gets nostalgic about childhood discipline, which quickly becomes less “remember the good old days?” and more “should somebody have called somebody?” The crew remembers wooden spoons, belts, Hot Wheels tracks, fly swatters, soap in the mouth and the terrifying parental phrase that basically meant your afternoon plans had been canceled. It's another wholesome trip down memory lane from your favorite funny podcast, assuming your memories involve calculating the trajectory of a leather belt like you're working for NASA.Next stop: Burning Man, where the crew investigates the return of the infamous adults-only dome after last year's wind-related disaster. There are rules now: IDs, consent, no recording devices and, most importantly, no singles strolling in alone. Which naturally launches a completely necessary discussion about whether two buddies could simply pretend to be a couple to get through the door. Journalism is alive and well.Things somehow become more respectable when we arrive in Tulsa, where authorities are searching for a mysterious serial defecator accused of targeting businesses while dressed in an ensemble involving tiny underwear, a shower cap, a modified mask and Crocs. The most damning detail? The Crocs apparently weren't in sport mode. That's how you know this guy fears neither God nor law enforcement.And then comes Oreogate.A kindergarten mom reportedly asks the other parents to stop packing Oreos because her daughter gets upset when other kids have them. No allergy. No medical issue. Just the brutal realization that another five-year-old has cookies and you do not. When the other parents refuse to reorganize their children's lunches around this international crisis, Mom considers switching schools.Over Oreos.Meanwhile, the kid starts trading for them anyway, proving once again that kindergarten cafeterias are basically tiny prisons with better wall art. The crew debates school-lunch currency, Double Stuf superiority, Golden Oreos, questionable specialty flavors and the economic insanity required to consider changing schools because Nabisco has destroyed the peace.There are even pickle-flavored Oreo-adjacent horrors entering the studio, because apparently talking about terrible cookies wasn't enough—we needed witnesses.It's celebrity talk, childhood trauma disguised as nostalgia, weird news, Burning Man logistics, criminal fashion analysis and one kindergarten snack dispute treated with roughly the seriousness of an international trade embargo.The crew dives into UFOs becoming UAPs, government disclosures, Bob Lazar, Area 51 and whether actual extraterrestrial visitors could finally unite humanity. Rafe thinks having one common alien enemy might finally turn us all into citizens of Earth. Moon isn't buying that optimism and figures we'd probably start fighting over which country gets custody of the aliens before they even get out of the ship. Sounds about right.Back on Earth, St. Louis is getting a little Hollywood treatment with The Streak, a sports comedy filming locally about Caltech's legendary basketball team snapping a 310-game losing streak. The production needs roughly 1,800 volunteer extras for basketball crowd scenes, meaning you too can spend five hours waiting around for your glorious half-second of blurry cinematic immortality. At least they're bringing stand-up comedians in to entertain the extras between takes.Then we enter conspiracy territory with Tropical Storm Dolly. Yes, shortly after Dolly Parton's passing, the next named Atlantic storm happens to be Dolly. No, they didn't name it after her. Yes, the names were already determined. And yes, people online are still turning it into a conspiracy because apparently coincidence was removed from the Internet's vocabulary sometime around 2017. It's the kind of discussion a comedy podcast was genetically engineered to handle.The show also remembers the incredible Tim Curry, looking back at everything from The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Clue to Home Alone 2, Congo and his nightmare-fueling performance as Pennywise in the 1990 TV adaptation of It. Somehow that horrifying sewer scene aired on network television and an entire generation of children was simply expected to sleep afterward. The '90s were built different.Crap on Celebrities brings even more chaos: the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal saga, Jamie Foxx discussing changes made to Django Unchained, a Quentin Tarantino-written Cliff Booth project, the original Sandlot cast reuniting for Dugout Dads, and the revelation that Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez grew up to become a firefighter. There is also a detour into a bizarre 2015 incident involving actor Mike Vitar because apparently even The Sandlot can't survive this show without us finding something weird.Ozzy Osbourne is getting his own Halloween Horror Nights attraction, Boston is celebrating 50 years with previously unreleased demos, Eric Clapton and John Mayer have a limited-edition guitar collection benefiting Clapton's recovery center, and Rupert Grint is returning as an adult Ron Weasley on Broadway. It's celebrity news, music news and pop culture commentary delivered with the level of professionalism you've come to expect from people debating alien treaties earlier in the episode.Before social media algorithms knew everything about you, the internet was a simpler place. A lawless, dial-up wasteland where your email address was probably something like BongRipper69@hotmail.com and one accidental click on Rotten.com could permanently alter the trajectory of your childhood.So naturally, The Rizzuto Show is going back.This episode starts with more nostalgia for the early internet and one of its most infamous destinations: Rotten.com. Back then, you couldn't just stumble across every horrifying thing imaginable while casually scrolling your phone. No, sir. You had to work for your trauma. You had to hear about Rotten.com from somebody, type it into the family computer, click something you absolutely shouldn't have clicked, and then wait patiently while your dial-up connection loaded your lifelong regret one horrifying line at a time.Was Rotten.com disgusting? Absolutely.Does the crew still seem weirdly sad that it's gone?Also absolutely.Then we move from internet trauma to another relic of the '90s and early 2000s: Hotmail.A poll says 18% of people are apparently still rocking a Hotmail address, which leads to an important discovery: Hotmail never completely disappeared. Microsoft eventually transitioned the service into Outlook, meaning technically some of us may still be living inside the Hotmail universe.We're all dorks. Fantastic.The crew remembers the era when nobody used their actual name for an email address. Instead, we created identities that looked like rejected Xbox gamertags: random nicknames, 420s, 69s and enough questionable innuendo to make applying for a respectable adult job years later slightly complicated.And then there are the complaint emails.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.Tulsa cops hunting ‘serial defecator' wearing thong, mask and shower cap who terrorized local businessesBride and groom bedridden for days after norovirus-tainted wedding mealTim Curry, Famous for Roles in Rocky Horror Picture Show, It and Annie, Dies at 80, 14 Years After Paralyzing StrokeDozens of new Missouri laws take effect FridayMan, 26, arrested after dressing as ‘Grim Reaper' and climbing onto hospital roof with long scythe to stare at patientsWhy You Shouldn't Squish Ants—and What to Do InsteadMaryville University Hockey Rink expansion to be named after Blues legendSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Missouri's congressional map is one court ruling away from being locked in for the 2026 midterms. In Part 2 of the “Meet Me” podcast's look at redistricting, host Luis Antonio Perez talks with voters about the confusing primary election. He then sits down with STLPR politics correspondent Jason Rosenbaum to unpack the redistricting drama and the upcoming court battle.

Most churches don’t start thinking about leadership development until a key person resigns. By then, the only real option is to post the role and hope someone qualified applies. In this special compilation episode, we’ve pulled together four conversations with leaders who have built the habit of developing people long before the seat opens up. The churches growing fastest right now are rarely the ones with the best job postings. They’re the ones who already know who’s next. Don’t miss the four critical lessons every church should consider as they head into fall hiring and budget planning. From the leadership model that quietly keeps benches empty to a mindset shift about where leaders actually come from to a challenge you could give your team on Monday to the structure that produces people you can genuinely put on payroll, each conversation offers a practical step forward. The Model Nobody Names Out Loud Tim Foot explains what he calls hero-driven leadership: the habit of relying too heavily on standout individuals to carry the mission. It produces short-term results, but it creates burnout, unrealistic hiring expectations, and fragile systems. What makes it so hard to escape is that it feels good. It feels productive to be the person who solves the problems and holds the answers. Foot also names the “shiny object trap,” where churches chase talent from larger organizations only to discover that the leader arrives with a playbook that doesn’t fit and no systems to support them. Key Takeaway // Hero dependence is a staffing strategy, whether or not anyone chose it on purpose. Healthy teams are built when leaders get comfortable saying they don’t know what to do next, because that’s what opens the room for collaboration. Listen to the Full Episode // Hero Dependence Is a Terrible Growth Strategy with Tim Foot (June 18, 2026) The Leaders Are Already in Your Building Spence Shelton draws a parallel most church leaders have never made. We all agree that growing a church by reaching lost people beats growing it by transfer from other churches. Then, when it comes to leaders, we reverse the logic and look for someone who’s already trained elsewhere. Shelton makes the case for the shoulder tap: intentionally asking someone whether God might be calling them into ministry. At Mercy Church, both executive pastors and two of three campus pastors came out of the marketplace, from banking, plant management, and physical therapy. None of them would have applied. Somebody had to ask. Key Takeaway // Many future ministry leaders never consider vocational ministry because no one ever raised the possibility with them. Developing from within takes longer than hiring from outside, and it produces leaders shaped by your church’s culture rather than someone else’s. Listen to the Full Episode // Stop Plucking Talent, Start Developing It with Spence Shelton (August 6, 2026) The Challenge That Costs Nothing Chris Vaught faced the constraint every growing church knows well. Connection Point was growing fast, but budget always arrives last, and southeastern Missouri isn’t a place people relocate to for a ministry position. So the church started looking at its own congregation and treating volunteers as unpaid staff with real roles and responsibilities. The starting point was a single challenge to every staff member: go find your Timothy. One person you invest in deeply enough that if you were out on a Sunday, the ministry would still run. Key Takeaway // A leadership pipeline doesn’t have to begin with a budget line. It can begin with one question asked of every staff member about who could carry their ministry if they weren’t there next weekend. Listen to the Full Episode // From 300 to 2,500: Building a Leadership Pipeline That Fuels Growth with Chris Vaught (September 25, 2025) Training Is Not Development Dave Miller draws a distinction that reframes what most churches call leadership development. Churches are excellent at training: the sermon, the class, the book of the month, the small group discussion. All of it is content delivery, and content has never been more available. Development is something else. Miller’s team identifies seven ingredients: training, spiritual formation, soft skills, ownership, mental wellness, and developmental conversations. He also challenges leaders on where accountability sits. When a sports team wins, we talk about the players. When it loses, we replace the manager. Church leaders should apply the same standard to the people they’re developing. Key Takeaway // If content were the key ingredient, leadership development would already be solved. What emerging leaders need is proximity, ownership, and someone willing to slow down and have the conversation. Listen to the Full Episode // Who’s the Next You? Building a Gen Z Residency Pipeline with Dave Miller (September 11, 2025) These four conversations form a ladder, and you don’t have to start at the top. Most churches never start at all because they assume the only real option is a residency program they can’t yet afford. Tim named the model keeping your bench empty. Spence gave the mindset shift and the shoulder tap. Chris gave the first move that costs nothing. Dave gave the structure that produces people you can hire. As you head into this fall, the question worth bringing to your next staff meeting is simple: who on our team has never been tapped on the shoulder, and what would it take to have that conversation this month?

Episode Transcript Rich Birch — At the beginning of 2026, we surveyed executive pastors like you and nearly one in four named that staff health and structure, how we get our teams to work together was your top fear going into 2026. You know and I know it, you probably have an open role at your church that you’re trying to fill, or you’re maybe about to have an open role. When a key person leaves your team and your instinct is just to post it, what can we do?Rich Birch — Finding, releasing, equipping leadership is critically important. Welcome to the last compilation episode of summer 2026 here on the unSeminary podcast. Super excited about today’s conversation, all about developing leaders within our organizations.Rich Birch — I know that in many churches, we think of this as a season where new staff are hiring or we’re hiring them into new roles. We’re working on budget planning for next year. There’s all the fall ramp up.Rich Birch — All four of these conversations are going to be helpful for you. The first one, we’ve got Tim Foot. He is the CEO of Slingshot, has nearly 30 years in ministry leadership, and his team has literally worked with thousands of churches on staffing.Rich Birch — Listen to this kickoff to today’s conversation, really setting up the tension that we find ourselves in. He names the leadership model that most of us have absorbed without anyone talking about it out loud, and it could be derailing your church and my church. Let’s listen in to what Tim has to say about developing leaders. [Clip 1 Begins]Tim Foot — Yeah, I mean, the model we see is hero-driven leadership. It’s when we rely too much on individuals to actually carry the mission. And I think the cracks have happened.Tim Foot — I mean, we’ve seen it, Rich. You and I are similar ages. I think the cracks are happening generationally.Tim Foot — The builders and boomers were wired differently for a different time and culture. And us Gen Xers, we can code switch. I mean, we see that happening all the time.Tim Foot — And as we stepped into leadership, the cracks started to appear. I mean, we see it every week, another leader burning out, doing stupid things because of too much pressure. Then Millennials and Gen Z are now leading in a new way that we need to embrace.Tim Foot — And so I think we’re seeing those cracks around that hero dependence, and we’re starting to see the need more than ever to have a team awareness, a holistic approach, or we’re just going to have leaders continue to burn out. And we see it around unrealistic hiring expectations, lack of support for great leaders when they’re hired, a lack of development. Hero dependence is a terrible staffing and growth strategy and becomes a massive trap when it comes to a number of the key focus areas or patterns we’ve seen that healthy teams focus on a move mission forward.Rich Birch — Yeah, see, this is the thing when you I heard you say that once and it literally I sat up and I was like, oh, man, I’ve seen that in my own, you know, my own hiring. I’ve seen that in the way I’ve talked with, you know, I see the leaders around me. You see these people who they’ve kind of built the entire ministry around themselves and they’ve built it’s like it doesn’t work if they don’t. It’s like they’re such a unique individual. They have to lift it all. Rich Birch — Like, why do we keep coming back to that? Why? Even if we know like intellectually in our heads, yeah, that’s not a good idea.Rich Birch — But what makes that model so sticky? It feels like we just keep coming back to this same thing time. In fact, we actually reward it. We’ll be like, wow, isn’t that great? This person’s amazing. And we just kind of keep moving on. Why is that?Tim Foot — It’s the shiny object trap. I mean, the shiny object, aka the talented leader that we think is going to catapult the ministry. Often we see it in hiring conversations when a particular organization wants to go after somebody that’s been in a much bigger organization than them.Tim Foot — And often that person, if they can attract them, will come in with a playbook that isn’t uniquely suited to the organization they’re stepping into. Or there aren’t systems to support that new leader and the growth that’s going to happen. And burnout happens at every level.Tim Foot — But we both know, Rich, busy work makes us feel productive. But is it the right work? And we know that we can be ourselves the shiny object. It feels good to be the hero. It feels good to be the one that’s solving problems. It feels good to be the one that has all the answers.Tim Foot — And I think that’s one of the biggest threats in healthy leadership today, is feeling like you have to have all the answers. Because I think one of the most powerful statements from healthy leaders and healthy teams is, Hey, we don’t know what to do next. Because it actually opens up the room for new thought. It opens up the room for collaboration. And it opens up the room for teamwork. Tim Foot — But it’s easier to move quick. It’s easier to move quick and be surrounded by people who agree and play it safe. And then down the road, we realize that we weren’t growing in every sense of that word. And the mission was stalled out.Tim Foot — We know we often have to slow down, re-strategize, look at who’s around the table, work out how we work together to move faster in the long term. We have to be vulnerable to make a team work. And sometimes it requires us to actually help others win than focus on heroes.Tim Foot — I mean, you think about a winning sports team. It’s not about just one person out there doing all the work. We’ve got to work together as a team.Tim Foot — You know, it’s how do we work together and have less dependence on that shiny object, those standout leaders or those heroes. [Clip 1 Ends]Rich Birch — Oh, so good. You know, Tim named something there. Man, it feels good to be the person with all the answers.Rich Birch — Can I have a little confessional time with you, friends? Earlier parts of my ministry career, I have really struggled with that. I wanted to be the person who had all the answers, but it’s a trap. And most of us find ourselves in it. Rich Birch — We’ve got to move beyond hero dependence, either wanting to be the hero or to find heroes. It’s not a character flaw. It’s a system that ultimately rewards the wrong thing. Rich Birch — So the question that I have is what is the alternative? Where do we go if we’re not just trying to hire the next shiny object?Rich Birch — The thing that will, the person that will, you know, plug in like a thing, where do leaders actually come from? I love this conversation coming up with Spence Shelton as the lead pastor of Mercy Church in Charlotte, planted in 2015, now three campuses online, plus launching a family of churches. I want you to listen for a few things.Rich Birch — First of all, Spence parallels, makes a parallel that I really have not heard many people say between how we think about reaching people who are far from God and how we think about finding leaders and how these two are connected. Listen carefully for the shoulder tap that he talks about. You know, oftentimes one of the things I find most revealing about podcast interviews is people say things just in the sides that really do under that, that give you a sense of what’s actually going on under the hood and pay attention to where his executive pastor campus pastors come from.Rich Birch — Let’s listen in to what Spence Shelton has to say. [Clip 2 Begins]Spence Shelton — I think that mentality starts all the way down to the idea of reaching people that don’t know Christ versus just sheep swapping from one church to the other church, right? So you can grow your church by transfer growth, which I actually am one who, hey man, if somebody’s on the sideline in one church and then they plug into your church, I’m all for it. And if the same thing happens with Mercy, all for it.Spence Shelton — But our aim, what we all know as pastors and ministry leaders is our aim is, man, let’s reach lost people and then disciple them, right? The same thing I think should be true with leadership development. For some reason, when it comes then to developing leaders, we tend to go a different direction and think, well, let’s just go find where some leaders are and get them to plug in.Spence Shelton — It’s like, we don’t do that even with discipleship. Why are we switching our mindset? And so I want to just kind of, I have to, I was convicted and wanted to call our church and I would call others to the same mindset that you have with discipleship.Spence Shelton — Let that carry over into your leadership and your leadership development as well. And I think that’s how we’re going to grow, just as how we’re going to grow the kingdom by reaching lost people, how we’re going to grow the leaders in the kingdom, the number of leaders we have, it’s going to be developing them in our church. And I just, I don’t know that we’re even thinking that way and asking the question, is the guy who’s a 27-year-old physical therapist in my church, has anybody ever bothered to tap him on the shoulder and ask, Hey man, could God be calling you into ministry because I watch you?Spence Shelton — And no, we’re not doing the shoulder tap, man. And so, um, our right now, I just, I love it. I’m just a little bit of the story of our church. Our exec, both of our executive pastors and two of our three campus pastors were all in the marketplace. Spence Shelton — One of our executive pastors was in banking. Another was a plant manager. We have two campus pastors who were both, I use physical therapists cause they’re both former physical therapists. And you know, we’re sitting there having these conversations. You know, what makes a great pastor is someone who has sat with person after person, told them, Hey, you should do this to feel better.Spence Shelton — And then they come back to you later and say, Hey, I don’t feel better. And you say, did you do the thing I told you to do? And they say, no. And you say, well, you should have done that. Spence Shelton — And a patient long suffering physical therapist turns out to be a great pastor, but somebody has got to tap him on the shoulder and say, Hey man, I think God might be calling you into this. Spence Shelton — And so my, my encouragement to anybody who’s in ministry right now, kind of in that leadership development role. And you’re like, I don’t know, we’re going to have to go outside to find some talent. I promise it’s going to take longer the way I’m talking about. But if you will seek the Lord, ask the Lord, and then start shoulder tapping and giving some opportunities for guys to lead for men and women to lead there in your ministry and whatever the leadership roles might be. I think there might be more people in there than you realize, because I believe that God provides for the church that he’s growing, that he’s called you to lead. And so I think that’s true with leaders as well. [Clip 2 Ends]Rich Birch — Hey, friends, 9 out of 10 campus pastors, they do come from within. So if you are launching new locations in the future, man, we got to start developing campus pastors today. Rich Birch — But I know some of you are saying, listen, listen, listen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That all sounds good. Shoulder tapping. Great, great, great. Rich Birch — But how, how do I do it? How do I train my team to do it? How do we motivate, stay focused on this? Rich Birch — The gap that my, what I have found, it’s not desire. It’s not even understand that people don’t understand that that’s how we do it. It’s not a resistance to those things. It’s none of that. It’s just that nobody owns it because you see development is everyone’s job, which means that it’s nobody’s job.Rich Birch — It’s easy for this to fall through the cracks. Aren’t we all supposed to be developing leaders? So if we’re all developing leaders, my experience has been that means that really none of us are or we’re not doing it in a systematic way.Rich Birch — Super excited to have Chris Vaught with us. He is the lead pastor of Connection Point Church in Missouri. Listen, it grew from 300 people in 2011 to 2,500 today across multiple campuses.Rich Birch — And he outlines one challenge that Chris gave every staff member. And I really want you to listen carefully for this, because to be honest, this is pure unSeminary magic. This is like what I love about our podcast.Rich Birch — You could take this out of this interview today and put it into your next team meeting on Monday. Apply it to your church. Let’s listen in for what Chris wants to say to you about how we train people to shoulder tap, find leaders and release them. [Clip 3 Begins]Chris Vaught — You can only hire out so much, right? Because even though our church has grown fast, budget always comes up last. But you have to look at other avenues other than just, oh, I’ll hire another position.Chris Vaught — So we started looking at congregation. We began to develop our own leadership pathway or pipeline to develop not only volunteers, but our future staff. We knew we grew really fast. We need to hire from within, but we still couldn’t hire every position. Chris Vaught — So we started looking at our volunteers as almost as non-paid staff positions. And so we have an atmosphere of expectation of roles and responsibilities and also the value of what they’re doing.Chris Vaught — That the kingdom is dependent upon all of us using our gifts and talents. And so we started this pathway. And at first it was simply a challenge to every staff member. You go find your Timothy. You go find one other person that you can invest yourself into, a volunteer. Chris Vaught — So that if on Saturday night, and here was kind of the criteria for us: if on Saturday night, something were to happen and you catch COVID. Okay. We’re at that time. Could this ministry run the next day because of the person you have personally equipped… Rich Birch — I love that clarity. Chris Vaught — …to hold the ministry.Rich Birch — Yeah, that’s so good.Rich Birch — We began to put those pieces together. That’s right. You go ahead. I cut you off there. Chris Vaught — No, no. I was just saying that’s what we began. We began this pipeline and that was really the basic level at first. Every staff member finding that one Timothy, if you will, if you want to use that terminology, that could run that ministry if you were out. [Clip 3 Ends]Rich Birch — See what I told you? The Saturday night test is literally the cheapest leadership development tool in this entire episode. If you do nothing else out of today’s episode, do that.Rich Birch — But I know, listen, there can be a gap on that, a ceiling. Finding your Timothy fills gaps, but it does not produce people necessarily kind of week-in, week-out that you could put on print a payroll. You need to also do some development. You need to have some intentional leadership development.Rich Birch — Most churches, again, think that they’re developing leaders, but they’re really just handing out books or running a monthly team meeting, that sort of thing. I want to introduce you, reintroduce you to my friend Dave Miller. He’s a former worship and creative arts pastor in Las Vegas, in Kentucky, in Michigan, and he and his team have worked with over 150 churches and over 160 residents.Rich Birch — What do we mean by residents? These are people that are in the pipeline for thinking clearly in their lives about joining your staff team or staff teams of another church somewhere across the country. He defines seven ingredients.Rich Birch — Listen, I had the honor of writing the foreword to Dave’s book, Who’s the Next You? I would highly recommend you pick up a copy of that and think through that. But let’s listen in a little bit of what Dave has to say today. [Clip 4 Begins]Dave Miller — Well, we would say there’s seven ingredients. There’s a chapter in the book, seven ingredients. You can get it on our website right now.Dave Miller — Seven ingredients of what we would say is leadership development. So what you’re talking about, really, a sermon is training, if you think about it, like in a, in a market sense, I’m going to talk at you for 35 minutes. There’s four points. It’s very good. It’s inspired. It’s like Ted, Ted, long Ted Talk every 52 times a year, plus Christmas Eve and whatever.Dave Miller — And I would just say, we call that training. Churches for a long time have done really, really well with training, right? It’s either it’s the sermon or it’s Sunday school. It’s even the AI delivered small group questions I get from my men’s group, right? Dave Miller — It is staff. When I say, do y’all do leadership development? Yeah. Tell me about that.Dave Miller — And they start talking about your book or Carey's book or Craig Groeschel's book. It’s a book of the month. It’s conversation. Even now, now we’ve taken training and we’re still delivering the content, but we’re discussing it and we’re filling in blanks. Right. And we do that. Dave Miller — And, or spiritual formation. I had a well-known keynote kind of person. We just need to disciple these kids and get out of their way. And I was like, Oh, neat. Actually we don’t. Dave Miller — We did that once. It’s called the Jesus movement. I think that was the Jesus movement or the Jesus people in the early seventies, which kind of mirrors what’s going on on college campuses, you think. Dave Miller — We don’t need to just disciple them and get… We got to go with them. So, so training, spiritual formation, soft skills, which is the pain point of all the bosses, the emotional lack of intelligence of things. Those would be the three core ones.Dave Miller — And then we have to provide best practices. We have to, we have to provide ownership, which is a big thing for us in our small business, small church world at the 12 month mark. When we’re saying, well, she just doesn’t get it. She didn’t get, Oh, what doesn’t she get? Dave Miller — He just doesn’t understand what… We talk about our downline people as if they’re executive leaders with 20 years of experience. It would be totally fine for someone to accuse me of something like that.Dave Miller — But like when we think of sports, we don’t talk about individual players. We talk about the coaches. When the team’s losing, whose fault is it? As a lifetime Cincinnati Reds fan we change the manager. We don’t talk about number 78 and 14. Dave Miller — When the team’s doing amazing, it’s about the player.He’s killing it. She’s killing it. He’s killing it. When the team is losing, we have to own it similarly.Dave Miller — This is on us. Rich Birch — Wow. Wow. Dave Miller — Mental wellness. One of the seven things, mental wellness. If you can’t prove to me that you know, I’m not, I’m not here giving you even a theological construct. Cause we work with all sorts of churches that believe all sorts of things, right? But mental health, if you can’t prove to me that you have a plan, at least, or you’ve thought about it, that’s gonna be a problem. We’re checking it on. Dave Miller — And then finally developmental conversations. This is not delivered only through training to your point. [Clip 4 Ends]Rich Birch — What a fantastic group of conversations. Just a thin slice of so many of the conversations we’ve had over the last year in this whole area. Rich Birch — Tim, he named the model that can keep your and my bench empty. Spence gave us the mindset shift and the shoulder tap. Chris gave us the simplest form of the really first move that costs you absolutely nothing. And Dave finally gave you the formal structure that produces people you could hire, put on your team long-term.Rich Birch — Listen, you do not need to start at the top. Most churches never start at all because they only think the real option is just going out and hiring people externally. Listen, really the question I want to leave you with is where Tim started us at the beginning.Rich Birch — Maybe dear listener, you are listening in today and you have the hero mindset. Maybe you need to start with you and figure out what you can do in your area to pass it all along. Listen, we’ve got links for all these four episodes in the show notes here at unSeminary.Rich Birch — We’re on a mission to help 100 churches grow by a thousand people. We do that through these free podcasts, courses, coaching, cohorts. We do a lot to try to get in your corner.Rich Birch — We’ve got so much coming up this fall. Stay tuned. Some great stuff coming your way to see your church be more effective.Rich Birch — Thanks so much, friends. Take care.

Legal team, on the docket this week we're revisiting one of our favorite cases…because she just can't stop saying that she did nothing wrong. Conspiracy to obtain mortgage loans through fraud and misrepresentations, bankruptcy fraud through concealment of assets and false declarations, and failure to file income taxes…of course, we are talking about Teresa Giudice, former cast member of Real Housewives of New Jersey and current cast member of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. This episode is the first part of a series we're starting in conjunction with the RHUGT Roaring 20th. Bankruptcy, loan allegations, indictments, guilty plea sentencing, prison, Joe's deportation…we've covered it all before. This will not be as in-depth as our previous episodes on Teresa, but we'll be laying out the facts as we respond to what she's been saying to the press (and on RHUGT), and reminding you of how it all went down back in 2014. We will not let her rewrite history and spin this false narrative that she was “made an example.” Previous episodes on Teresa linked below!Teresa & Joe Giudice: Part ITeresa & Joe Giudice: Part 2Teresa & Joe Giudice: Part 3What's on the docket?Angela's respect for TeresaCesie's frustrations towards TeresaBackground of Teresa's crimesTeresa's recent press statementsThe difference between jail and prisonTeresa and Joe's discrepancies in their bankruptcy filingsTeresa's malpractice claim against bankruptcy attorneyThe importance of clients telling their attorney the truthTeresa's genuine defense theoryDetails of the indictmentWhat happens in a sentencing procedurePronouncement of the sentenceGia Giudice's comments about her dad's deportation on Next Gen NYCWhy Joe was deportedOur thoughts on Trump pardoning the Chrisleys and not Teresa and JoeAccess additional content and our Patreon here: https://zez.am/thebravodocket The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.

What if the pressure to succeed in business is actually an invitation to become a different kind of leader? While it's tempting to think you've got it made once you reach the top, the most effective leaders never stop growing. They continue to seek out wise mentors, invest in supportive communities, and bring their struggles into the light rather than trying to manage everything on their own. In this eye-opening episode of Performing Under Pressure, Austin Conner, PLPC, sits down with Clint Guier, an executive leader who has spent more than two decades with the same company. Clint's journey from a farm kid in small-town Missouri to the executive vice president of a rapidly growing organization offers a window into the everyday realities of leadership: making decisions that affect hundreds of people, navigating growth and risk, knowing when to delegate, and learning from the people who have gone before him. But this conversation goes beyond strategies for succeeding in the business world. Clint reflects honestly on the ways pressure has shaped him over the years, including the temptation to seek approval, the cost of carrying stress alone, and the impact that unprocessed pressure can have on the people closest to us. At the heart of Clint's approach is a shift in perspective: from performing for approval to recognizing that his work is an opportunity to steward what God has given him and serve others well. Whether you're leading a company, building a career, or simply trying to navigate the pressures of work and family, this conversation offers an encouraging look at what it can mean to pursue excellence without making life all about yourself.

She calls herself a common wildflower; her beloved calls her a lily among the thorns. Scripture is not embarrassed to celebrate what God gave in marriage: a banner of love over the banqueting house, apples and raisins for a woman sick with love, a young stag leaping over the hills to call his bride out into the spring. The chapter also guards what it celebrates, warning about the little foxes that spoil vineyards in bloom and charging the daughters of Jerusalem twice not to stir up love before it pleases. Every husband and wife who has heard "arise, my love, and come away" knows the ache in it. So does the Church, whose Bridegroom washed her, called her beautiful, and made her so, and who will one day come over the mountains to bring her home for good. The Rev. David Boisclair, senior pastor of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Overland, Missouri, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Song of Solomon 2:1–17. To learn more about Our Redeemer in Overland, visit ourredeemerstl.org. The Song of Solomon is a book of love poetry, a bride and her bridegroom singing to each other across eight chapters. God's people have sung it since Solomon's day, and Jewish congregations still read it at Passover. The Church has heard in it the voice of Christ and His bride, and Luther quoted the Song in The Freedom of a Christian to describe what happens when Christ takes a sinner as His own. Paul was working the same ground in Ephesians five, where he set marriage beside Christ and the Church and called it a great mystery. This series works through the whole book verse by verse, from the kiss in chapter one to the seal on the heart in chapter eight. We hear what it says about the body, about desire, and about the marriage God instituted in the garden. We also ask where Christ is in it, since the Church has long heard in these songs the voice of the Bridegroom who gave His life for His bride. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Starting this fall, a new Missouri law will require school officials to define antisemitic behavior in their codes of conduct and report those cases to state officials. The law's requirements raise concerns from attorneys that schools will be forced to violate the First Amendment to enforce them. On this month's edition of the Legal Roundtable, attorneys Brenda Talent, Javad Khazaeli and Bill Freivogel talk about the free speech complications of the new law. The panel also discusses two recent rulings with major implications for November's elections, a discrimination lawsuit with ties to the Mafia, and more.
Most churches think attendance is the goal.But what if attendance is actually the result of something else?In Episode 228 of Fly on the Wall, I sat down with my friend Bobby from Missouri to talk about practical church growth strategies and how getting more people engaged can create sustainable growth.Bobby's church has experienced an incredible turnaround, growing from around 20 people to a couple hundred. But with that growth comes a new challenge:How do you move new people from simply attending to actually becoming part of the church?I believe one of the biggest mistakes churches make is treating attendance as the lead goal.It's not.Engagement is the lead goal. Attendance is the lag goal.When people begin serving, they build relationships. They experience discipleship. They develop a sense of ownership. And ultimately, they become more connected to the life and mission of the church.We also talked about something every church needs to take seriously: invite culture.Culture isn't changed by preaching about something once. It's built through the stories you tell, the heroes you make, and the things you celebrate.Here's some of what we unpack:Why engagement should be a primary goal for growing churchesHow to create a clear pathway from attendance to involvementWhy longtime volunteers can struggle to make room for new peopleHow 90-day engagement goals can create momentumWhy word of mouth remains such a powerful form of church marketingHow to test your marketing before investing more moneyWhy messages inspire, but systems change behaviorHow stories, heroes, and celebration shape your church's cultureWhy you should follow up with the person who brought the guest, not just the guestHow to know whether invite culture is actually becoming part of your churchIf you want sustainable church growth, don't just ask, "How do we get more people in the room?"Start asking, "How do we help the people already coming become part of the mission?"

This episode starts with a listener trying to solve a very real problem: how to get wheelchair-accessible seating for Rizz Show Night at the Blues game when the normal accessibility option isn't showing up for the theme-night tickets. Instead of letting Zach wander endlessly through ticketing menus designed by somebody who apparently hates convenience, Riz decides to pass the issue along and try to get him some actual help.Then the show turns to a frightening story out of Columbia, Missouri, where a 21-year-old former Mizzou student suffered severe injuries after falling from the rooftop area at Harpo's. The crew talks about what was known about the accident, the young man's condition, and their own experiences with Columbia's downtown, the Blue Note, Shakespeare's, old venues and the college-town scene. It's a genuinely awful situation, and everybody's hoping the kid pulls through.But because this is a funny show physically incapable of traveling in a straight line, we eventually get an update on the earlier 49ers prostitution-sting discussion. A listener from Ohio introduces the theory of a possible “Sunday brunch special,” which only creates more questions about how a wealthy NFL owner allegedly winds up at an East Palestine trailer park at 9:30 in the morning. Then comes the important question nobody else is brave enough to investigate: What kind of car are you driving into that situation?And then Simpleton Trivia arrives to destroy everybody's self-esteem.The premise sounds insultingly easy: answer 10 common-knowledge questions in 45 seconds. Get one wrong and you're immediately done. Callers can either take the challenge themselves for two pairs of tickets or put their faith in somebody from The Rizzuto Show and bet on—or against—them.What could possibly go wrong?Everything.Chris steps up first and is immediately asked how many days are in a leap year. His answer? 365. Goodbye, Chris. Thanks for playing.Matt looks unstoppable. Hours in two days? 48. Capital of the United States? Washington, D.C. Sides on a stop sign? Eight. South Pole? Antarctica. He's cruising toward victory until Rafe asks what color you get when you mix red and yellow.Green.Orange. It's orange.Then Tom makes the smartest decision anybody makes during the entire game: bet against Lern. She powers through skin, inches, Mercury, multiplication and Thanksgiving before the trees show up. Pine tree? Deciduous?Evergreen.Congratulations, Tom. You have successfully weaponized our stupidity for free Blues tickets.Mark tries next and comes flying out of the gate powered by Pepsi and Red Bull, which sounds medically questionable but strategically promising. He handles math, directions, colors, decades and elephants before being asked which state is known as the Sunshine State.California.Damn.Then a caller decides to trust Riz. This goes spectacularly well for roughly zero seconds. His first question: how many nickels make $1.25?And thus “25, damn” joins “California, damn” and “deciduous, damn” in the rapidly expanding Simpleton Trivia Hall of Shame.Surely Moon can save the reputation of the funny show, right?A caller puts his faith in Moon because Moon hasn't let him down in five years. Even worse, the caller wants Blues tickets so he can take his daughter to her first Blues game. The emotional stakes are unnecessarily high. Everybody tells him not to tell the kid yet.Moon starts strong. Seven times eight? Sand makes glass? Bald eagle? Caterpillars become butterflies? Springfield?Then Rafe asks how many months have 31 days.Moon says five.It's seven.Somewhere, an imaginary child begins crying in study hall.There's one final shot at redemption when Miranda puts her faith in Moon for AC/DC and Foo Fighters tickets so she can take her nine-year-old son to his first show. Again, everybody immediately makes this far more emotionally devastating than a morning-radio trivia game has any right to be.Moon crushes the equator, 50 states, rubies, multiplication, frogs, Canada, spider legs and photosynthesis.Then comes bread.What's the main ingredient?Yeast? Water?Flour.The game is over, dignity is dead, and Tom—the guy who had the good sense to bet against the show—is basically the only person walking away happy.This funny show has once again proven something important: never underestimate common knowledge, never trust a radio personality with your child's concert dreams, and if you're offered the opportunity to bet against The Rizzuto Show, maybe take it.Deciduous. Damn.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.
Summer is basically over, the kids are back in school, and some of them returned home looking like they'd just completed a six-month combat deployment instead of one day of algebra. Naturally, that sends The Rizzuto Show down memory lane to discuss suspiciously easy senior-year schedules, bowling classes, walking classes, movie classes, and the beautiful teenage realization that maybe calculus simply isn't going to be part of your personal journey.NFL chaos with the story of 49ers owner Jed York and an alleged prostitution sting in East Palestine, Ohio. The crew tries to understand how a man connected to billions of dollars somehow ends up at the center of a $140 Sunday-morning situation in a mobile home community.A workplace prank involving heavy machinery that ended in tragedy. That leads into a rundown of some of the deadliest jobs in America, including logging, commercial fishing, roofing, steel work, trash collection, aviation, mining, construction, and landscaping. Suddenly sitting in a radio studio complaining about the air conditioning doesn't seem quite as heroic.And because The Rizzuto Show can never stay on one subject for more than the medically recommended amount of time, Fujifilm sends everybody tumbling into a conversation about words that instantly reveal your age. “Videotape.” “Pocketbook.” “Slacks.” “Icebox.” “Billfold.” “Filling station.” “Supper.” Welcome to the portion of the show where everyone discovers they're approximately 900 years old.Then it's time to discuss the upcoming iPhone and whether spending around $1,200 on another rectangle that looks suspiciously like your current rectangle is still exciting. The show heads Back in the Day for anniversaries involving The Wizard of Oz, Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run, Boston's legendary debut album, Lauryn Hill, Aaliyah and more.ZZ Top plays its first show following the death of drummer Frank Beard, the crew attempts to demonstrate its vast knowledge of Quando Rondo, Ella Langley continues her monster chart run with “Choosing Texas,” and Miranda Lambert enters the conversation thanks to a songwriting story involving a kangaroo. Because sure.The Terminator 2 cast reunion also gets reviewed with all the tact and restraint you've come to expect from this comedy podcast. Edward Furlong gets some love, everybody realizes he was only 13 while filming the movie, and Rafe delivers the completely unnecessary observation that the reunion photo looks like “the future they were trying to prevent.”Then the show turns to a frightening story out of Columbia, Missouri, where a 21-year-old former Mizzou student suffered severe injuries after falling from the rooftop area at Harpo's. The crew talks about what was known about the accident, the young man's condition, and their own experiences with Columbia's downtown, the Blue Note, Shakespeare's, old venues, King Scott's favorite Wal Mart and the college-town scene. It's a genuinely awful situation, and everybody's hoping the kid pulls through.And then Simpleton Trivia arrives to destroy everybody's self-esteem.The premise sounds insultingly easy: answer 10 common-knowledge questions in 45 seconds.

Galen Clavio launches the newly dubbed Bison Briefing on CrimsonCast with a live afternoon episode covering two major Indiana sports topics: the continuing NCAA eligibility mess and the release of Indiana basketball's non-conference schedule.Ryan Phillips joins Galen to break down the latest eligibility confusion involving Class of 2022 athletes, professional opportunities, and whether players who spent time around NFL teams should be able to return to college rosters. They discuss the SEC's statement, the Big Ten's proposed rule, the legal uncertainty around the Wisne case, and what all of this could mean for Stephen Daley and Kellan Wyatt as Indiana football gets closer to the season.The conversation also gets into the bigger structural problem: college sports keeps trying to operate without a stable, collectively bargained system. Galen and Ryan talk through why the NCAA's current rulemaking keeps leading to lawsuits, why basketball complicates the definition of “professional,” and why the next few weeks could remain messy for athletes trying to decide whether to enroll, practice, sue, or move on.The second half shifts to Indiana men's basketball, where the newly released non-conference schedule gives Darren DeVries and the Hoosiers a stronger slate than fans have seen in recent years. The schedule includes Syracuse, Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri, UCF, Bellarmine, Fairleigh Dickinson, Bowling Green, and more.Galen and Ryan like the schedule from a basketball perspective: more name brands, more résumé opportunities, and a better mix of tests and tune-ups. But they also dig into the season-ticket holder issue, because many of the best games are away from Assembly Hall or on neutral floors. That leads to a larger conversation about IU basketball's atmosphere, rebuilding fan trust, and why winning is the only real way to make Assembly Hall feel like Assembly Hall again.
In this episode of The Way We See It, Pastor Alex Bryant has a conversation with attorney Mary Browning, legal advisor to Operation Outcry, about the legal side of abortion and Missouri's Amendment 3. Mary breaks down the legal aspects of what Missourians will vote on in November and why it matters. But this conversation is also personal. Mary shares her own story of having an abortion when she was younger, the impact it had on her life, and how that experience now drives her work helping women and men affected by abortion share their stories and find healing. It's an important conversation about law, life, and the personal impact of abortion.

At twelve, Julie stared at a clawed arm at the end of her bed for seven seconds and then went back to reading, and the two decades that followed are why a UFO investigator spent weeks taking her statement.DEEP-DIVE ARTICLE about Archer Avenue & Resurrection Mary: https://weirddarkness.com/resurrection-mary/EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/EncountersOfJulieREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/mtepz5jcFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: If you've listened to Weird Darkness for any length of time, you know that I will often suggest someone who has had a paranormal disturbance in their home or life, reach out to a pastor or priest for guidance. But what exactly happens when the Catholic Church starts investigating the paranormal? (When The Catholic Church Goes Ghost Hunting) *** Many states around America say they have the most haunted road in the country. And while the words “most haunted” are somewhat subjective, it's hard not to see why people outside of Chicago consider Archer Avenue not only the top spooky street in America, but the most haunted on the planet. (The Anguish Of Archer Avenue) *** After allegedly murdering her husband in 1960, Sharon Kinne shot her lover's pregnant wife. Then, she evaded justice and escaped to Mexico only to kill again — before vanishing without a trace. (The American Murderess Who Disappeared in 1969) *** Modern courtrooms aren't equipped or knowledgable enough to determine whether or not ghosts are real, but that hasn't stopped ghosts from appearing in several court cases! (Court Cases Involving Ghosts) *** When you hear of a two-headed creature you typically think of two heads side-by-side growing from the neck and shoulders area. But have you ever heard of a creature growing another head on the very top of it's other head? It happened… and not to just any creature. It was a human boy who lived much longer than anyone expected. (The Bengal Boy With Two Heads) *** Buried alive inside the castle walls, the Finnish Maiden immured still haunts the medieval building of Olavinlinna Castle. (The Maiden of Olavinlinna Castle) *** The case of “Julie” from Carlisle in the United Kingdom is an intriguing one not only because it unfolded over many years, but because it appears to straddle the line between apparent reptilian entities and paranormal activity.

Become an OFFICIAL WEIRDO for commercial-free episodes, bonus episodes, weeknight live chats, audiobooks & more at https://weirddarkness.com/OFFICIALWeird Darkness looks at a clawed arm at the foot of a child's bed in Carlisle, a boy born in Bengal in 1783 with a second head growing atop his own, the Vatican office that vets miracles and demonic possession, the Chicago road that produced Resurrection Mary, a Finnish maiden entombed alive in a castle wall, a Missouri housewife who killed at least three people and vanished, and the court cases where ghosts turned up as evidence.It opens with the woman investigators call Julie, twelve years old and reading in bed in Carlisle, England, in 2000 when a black arm ending in white talons came over the foot of her mattress. Dave Hodrien of the Birmingham UFO Group interviewed her in early 2022 about twenty years of reptilian sightings, poltergeist activity, and shadow figures that followed her from that bedroom into the hospital wards where she later worked as a senior nurse.From there comes the boy born in the Bengali village of Mundul Gaut in May 1783 with a second head sitting inverted on top of the first, an upper head that wept and tried to nurse while its expressions ran independent of the child's. A cobra killed him at four, a salt agent for the East India Company robbed his grave, and his skull still sits in the Hunterian Museum in London as a specimen of craniopagus parasiticus, a parasitic twinning that occurs in two or three births out of five million.The Vatican's paranormal caseload runs through the Congregation for the Causes of Saints and the Consulta Medica, a board of Italian Catholic physicians who rule on whether a healing has any natural explanation, with Michael O'Neill of MiracleHunter.com estimating that 99.9 percent of investigated miracles are medical. Father Lampert puts genuine demonic possession at one case in five thousand, and the Vatican's revised 1999 guidelines require priests to consult mental health professionals before any exorcism is approved.Archer Avenue follows, the old Native American trail southwest of Chicago where Resurrection Mary has hitchhiked between the O'Henry Ballroom and Resurrection Cemetery since the 1930s, and where police answering a call on August 10th, 1976 found the cemetery bars bent apart and scorched with handprints. The same stretch carries phantom monks at St. James of the Sag, a cloven hoofprint outside Kaiser Hall, a driverless hearse, the Maple Lake ghost light, and Red Gate Woods, where the world's first nuclear reactor lies buried from the Manhattan Project.Olavinlinna Castle, built on a lake island in southeastern Finland in 1475, holds the legend of the lord's daughter who opened the gate for her Russian lover and was condemned for treason and immured alive in the courtyard wall, with a rowan tree of white flowers and red berries said to have grown where she died.Sharon Kinne told police in March 1960 that her toddler had shot her husband, collected $230,000, and was acquitted of killing her lover's pregnant wife before fleeing to Mexico City, where she shot a man in a motel room and earned the nickname La Pistolera; she walked out of Iztapalapa prison during a blackout on December 7th, 1969 and has never been found.The episode closes on hauntings that reached a courtroom, from the 1917 Ouija-board novel Jap Herron credited to Mark Twain's ghost to Stambovsky v. Ackley, the 1991 Ghostbusters ruling that made a Nyack house legally haunted, and Gerald Brittle's $900 million suit daring Warner Bros. to prove the events behind The Conjuring actually happened.

Today we have Mitchell. He is 30 years old, lives in Missouri, and he took his last drink on April 6th, 2025. This episode is brought to you by: Sign up and get 10% off: Better Help Sober Link sign up and claim your $100 enrollment bonus Next Monday, August 31st, we are celebrating the launch of the compilation book This Is How We Quit with a live event via Zoom. Everyone who registers for this free event will receive one free month of membership in Café RE. Coming in September, Café RE will be hosting Ditching the Booze: Emotions. It is a four-week live course, every Wednesday in September at 8pm Eastern [01:50] Thoughts from Paul: Paul shares a YouTube video from Seth Capehart MD about The World's Most Encouraged Drug. He gives a brief history of alcohol, that we have been consuming it for thousands of years as humans. It used to serve a vital purpose then, because fermented beverages with a low alcohol content were safer to drink than water. Eventually engineers figured out to provide clean drinking water, but the alcohol consumption stuck around. The doctor shares what alcohol does to our bodies. It taxes the liver and wrecks our hormones. The doctor says if you were trying to create a hormonal environment that would make you fat, weak, and tired, alcohol would be perfect that. He says it's the most invisible, yet visible problem he's encountered in medicine. The next time you find yourself romanticizing a drink, remember the statistics and how terribly it affects our body. Alcohol was the most encouraged drug, but that's changing and you are part of it. [08:35] Paul introduces Mitchell: Mitchell is 30 years old, and lives in Missouri with his wife and three cats. For work, Mitchell is an RN and for fun he enjoys fitness, various types of gaming and is competing in his first triathlon. Mitchell says that growing up, both of his parents were problem drinkers. He hated seeing his parents drunk and by the time he was 10 or 11, he swore he was never going to drink. During a bout of depression when he was 18, Mitchell decided to try alcohol to numb the discomfort. He would drink in his room by himself and knew from the start it wasn't normal behavior. When Mitchell went to college in 2015, he says his mental health had improved and the change in environment and meeting new people helped. His drinking looked different than his friends' and he chose to ignore the voice inside telling him he might have an issue. He was sober curious at times but wasn't ready to quit. After graduating, Mitchell's work as a nurse enabled him to have a schedule for when he could drink. He got married in 2023 and Mitchell says it was clear that this wasn't a cycle he should continue now that there is another person in his life. She is a normal drinker and didn't understand Mitchell's desire to keep going after she was drinking after she was ready to stop. This created conflict for them. Mitchell began to sneak drinks so that his wife wouldn't know that amount he was drinking and he was always ready to downplay the drinking when she brought it up. When his brother-in-law announced that he was quitting after a rough night out, Mitchell decided to speak up and say he would join him. He didn't put a timeline on it, but by saying it out loud, Mitchell knew he would be able to stop for a little while. Having the accountability buddy was helpful and then his wife joined in to support them both. On day nine, his father passed away from an alcohol-related illness. This solidified Mitchell's intention to stay sober, and he started looking for resources. He began listening to the RE podcast and reading quit lit. Not long after he began attending AA and got a sponsor to work the steps with. Mitchell feels fortunate to have a great support system both in and out of AA. Mitchell's parting piece of guidance: Don't suffer in silence. Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down. You got to take the stairs back up. We can do this.

For the first time since the explosive McBee Dynasty Season 3 finale, Steven McBee Jr. is breaking his silence and sitting down with us to address EVERYTHING. Steven opens up about what really happened with Allie Eklund after Stagecoach, what he was told that night, why he went to social media first, and whether he still believes boundaries were crossed. He also reacts to Allie's recent interviews, her tallow business, the claims surrounding the mini Highlands, and explains why he now has a newfound respect for his ex Calah. Steven also reveals behind-the-scenes details about The McBee Dynasty, including why planned pickup scenes allegedly never happened, whether he wants a Season 4, and why he says he would love a “mulligan” after everything that unfolded this year. Plus, Steven gets candid about Steve McBee Sr.'s upcoming release from prison, what his dad has been telling the family versus Masha, the surprising prison visitor story, where things stand with Galyna after she smashed the windows of his truck, the McBee family's financial situation, and whether the car washes were actually sold. And Steven responds to Southern Charm's Saley Carson after she said she was “terrified” during her time in Missouri, revealing the private conversation he says happened afterward. Nothing was off limits. Steven told us we could ask him anything, and we did.

Cedric - a Missouri law enforcement officer, whitetail obsessive, and content creator - joins me to talk through the real-world gear decisions behind his new setup, from the Hoyt AX 33 to the AAE Prophecy/inline system, HLR arrows, G5 broadheads, and the tuning details that keep everything honest at the range and in the field. If you care about bowhunting gear that performs under pressure, this conversation gets specific fast.Check out the new website:https://www.redbeardoutdoors.net/DISCOUNTS and Support The Show 1st Phorm Favorites:https://1stphorm.com/products/post-workout-stack/?a_aid=RedBeardOutdoorsSheepFeet Custom Orthotics:https://sheepfeetoutdoors.com/?ref=REDBEARDCode - REDBEARDLAST LIGHT:https://lastlightllc.com/?ref=REDBEARDCode - REDBEARDBarbell Apparel:Https://www.barbellapparel.com/redbeardCode - RedBeardOllin Digiscoping:https://ollin.co/?ref=REDBEARDCode: RedBeardGoRuck:https://alnk.to/gKTTRMeAXIL:https://goaxil.com/REDBEARDCode - REDBEARDSumet:https://www.sumet.com/?ref=RedBeardCode - RedbeardTuffJug:https://tuffjug.com?sca_ref=10529106.pS2vdXlnFlA0z5p3Code - REDBEARDStar-Batt:https://star-batt.com/ref/redbeardoutdoors/Code: RedBeardoutdoorsGrayboe:https://www.grayboe.com/?aff=15Code - REDBEARDCRUZR Saddles:https://cruzr.com/id/20/Code - RedBeardPrimary Arms:https://alnk.to/fwuB01v Initial Ascent:https://initialascent.comCode: RedbeardPeax Equipment:https://alnk.to/dpuspH7DADGANG Get 15% off:https://www.dadgang.co/JOHNATHAN02254Dagr & Nott Blades:https://www.dagrandnott.co?sca_ref=9519989.pIv5D2PNiS6w2k84 Dark Energy:https://darkenergy.com/?ref=johnathan_mccormickCode: RedBeard Canvas Cutter:https://canvascutter.com/?ref=REDBEARDCode – Redbeard Montana Knife Companyhttps://alnk.to/74y414uTulster Holsters and more:https://tulster.com/?aff=REDBEARDCode - REDBEARDOryx Outdoors:https://oryx-outdoors.com/?ref=Yu98Gl-YQxOwFCode - REDBEARDWOOX:https://wooxstore.com?sca_ref=11695593.52SYOvfqCIQruCode: REDBEARDWILDE ARROW:Wildarrowarchery.comCode - REDBEARDGet Your RPM Scope Rings here:https://www.rpmflg.com?bg_ref=O2vJHHcGBXCode - REDBEARDScheels:https://alnk.to/cm0F8wdSlayer Calls:www.slayercalls.comCode - REDBEARD15The Bow Hitch:https://thebowhitch.comCode – RBOD
Last week, a Missouri judge declined to put two measures that received hundreds of thousands of petition signatures on the November ballot. Now the state Supreme Court will take a look. We'll take a closer look at the redistricting referendum and Respect Missouri Voters amendment.
Louie and Zach get into their CFB segment with a double dose, with Alabama naming their starting QB and Missouri uncertain if Ahmad Hardy will play, and ranking some big games that UL is a part of. They then discuss if Diego Pavia could come back to college and if one of the locals would take him. Louie brags on his kid playing football to end the show.

Most people who help design and equip restaurants never spent a night on the line themselves. In Episode 226 of On The Delo, Delo sits down with longtime friend Justin McCallister, Owner of Arizona Restaurant Consulting (AZRC), to talk about a career that started in a culinary school kitchen and grew into a full design-build firm behind restaurants, hotels, gas stations, and commercial kitchens across Arizona and beyond.Justin shares his journey from cooking at the original Mastro's Steakhouse and Kona Grill to spending 17 years in restaurant equipment sales and design before taking the leap to launch Arizona Restaurant Consulting in 2016. This year marks AZRC's 10th anniversary, making it the perfect time to look back on the lessons learned from a decade of designing, equipping, and building restaurants.The conversation dives into recent projects including Terrible's gas stations, a Hilton Squaw Peak remodel, and a challenging build for Freeport-McMoRan, along with what it really takes - from budgeting and design to equipment, permitting, and installation - to turn an empty gray shell into a fully operational restaurant.Justin also shares his philosophy on referrals and marketing, why he'd rather be the hub of the wheel than wear every hat himself, and the personal side of running a business for a decade, including bringing his wife on as a full partner after 28 years of marriage.Whether you're opening your first restaurant, remodeling an existing concept, or simply want a behind-the-scenes look at how successful hospitality projects come together, this episode is packed with practical insights from someone who's helped build them.Chapter Guide (Timestamps)(0:14 - 1:13) Welcome Back and Justin's First Time in the Office(1:13 - 3:37) From Missouri to Culinary School: Mastro's and Kona Grill(3:37 - 4:42) Finding a Niche in Restaurant Equipment Sales and Design(4:42 - 5:47) Taking the Leap: Founding AZRC in 2016(5:47 - 7:07) 10 Years of Growth and Launching AZRC Installations(7:07 - 9:50) Proud Projects: Terrible's Gas Stations and the $200K Walk-In(9:50 - 11:28) Current Projects: Hilton Squaw Peak and Jackson's Car Wash(11:28 - 13:00) Learning AutoCAD and Becoming a Design-Build Hybrid(13:00 - 15:11) Marketing as the Hub of the Wheel(15:11 - 17:10) Working Outside Arizona: DC, California, and Beyond(17:10 - 20:12) What It Really Takes to Open a Restaurant(20:12 - 22:44) Being an Equipment Reseller and Owning the Hard Conversations(22:44 - 25:51) Arizona's 2026 Market and the Freeport-McMoRan Challenge(25:51 - 28:11) Non-Negotiables, Family, and Bringing His Wife on Board(28:11 - 29:57) Where to Find Justin and AZRC(29:57 - 32:29) Rapid Fire and Delo's Close
Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the funny show where every perfectly reasonable conversation eventually gets dragged into an alley and beaten senseless by five people with microphones.We're coming off our takeover of The Fast Lane, and apparently not everyone received the memo. The ESPN audience showed up expecting sports talk and instead got us, leading to confused texts, angry sports fans and the crew slowly realizing that sports-radio listeners chirp hosts the same way they chirp players from the stands. Honestly, we respect the commitment. Moon even dared to discuss soccer in St. Louis, which naturally went over calmly and rationally with everyone.Obviously.With that historic broadcasting achievement behind us, we immediately announce record ratings, retire undefeated and turn our attention to the Savannah Bananas coming to Busch Stadium.And this is where baseball gets weird.We break down Banana Ball rules, including no bunting, batters potentially stealing first, sprinting after ball four, the Golden Batter, bizarre tiebreakers and the glorious rule where a fan catching a foul ball can actually record an out. Finally, buying a glove as a grown adult has consequences beyond your friends making fun of you.That sends us directly into Steve Bartman history, because why stay on topic? We revisit the infamous Cubs foul ball, discover what eventually happened to the baseball and learn that people detonated the thing before incorporating its essence into pasta sauce.Sports are healthy.Then there's Skate Laborious. Three years after the fire, organizers are fighting to preserve the remaining church structure and transform it into an open-air skate park. Naturally, our contribution to the discussion is deciding this sounds like an '80s movie where a group of lovable misfits has to save the rec center from The Man.Cue the rollerblades.That somehow leads to Rad, Gleaming the Cube, BMX dancing, Lori Loughlin, Christian Slater and the realization that the '80s could turn literally any recreational activity into a feature film.Rizz is also heading toward Arkansas and preparing for another major milestone: his first trip to Buc-ee's. This launches the important Buc-ee's vs. Wally's debate, recommendations involving Beaver Nuggets and brisket, and a surprisingly heated discussion about whether you can leave your vehicle sitting at a gas pump while wandering around a convenience store the size of Rhode Island.Meanwhile, the Gathering of the Juggalos is happening in Missouri, which brings us one of the least surprising headlines in human history: a massive drug bust involving a gentleman known as Blunt Man.Yes. Blunt Man.A man allegedly associated with a “One Stop Shop” supplying the festival had even received a promotional shout-out from Violent J. Somehow subtlety did not prevail. The ensuing discussion includes an enormous list of seized drugs, plans for a possible Rizz Show expedition to the Gathering and the very sensible conclusion that nobody should attempt this without a qualified Juggalo Sherpa.From there, this funny show tackles another subject where everyone believes they're correct: speeding.How far over the limit is acceptable? Is ten over basically the unofficial speed limit? Why do tiny towns suddenly drop from highway speeds to 35 mph directly in front of what appears to be their entire police department? Lern admits that aggressive drivers can activate her own personal highway-vigilante mode, while everyone shares speeding-ticket stories and their individual theories about what cops will actually tolerate.It's sports, St. Louis stories, weird news, nostalgia, road rage and several conversations that should have ended much sooner than they did. In other words, exactly what you came for from a funny show that continues proving nobody should give us this much microphone time.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.
8.20.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Karmelo Anthony Gets New Judge. NAACP Joins Nolan Wells Case. Angie Nixon Scores Upset Win The Memphis City Council approves a 12-month moratorium on new data center permits and rezoning. Tennessee State Representative Justin Pearson will explain what that really means. Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens blasts the Democratic National Convention after the city loses its bid to host the 2028 convention. In a letter to the city, he says this snub is an example of how the Democratic Party continues to abandon the South and Black voters. A Missouri court is allowing a GOP-favored map to help them hold onto their slim majority in the House. In less than two years, the twice-impeached, criminally convicted felon-in-chief, Donald "The Con" Trump has managed to fulfill every aspect of Project 2025. Michael Harriott will be here to give us a "Project 2025 Performance Review." Chris Cuomo calls out Bill O'Reilly for saying he'd vote for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin before casting a ballot for Senator Jon Ossoff. All over a comment the Georgia Senator made. A special appointed Texas judge is hearing testimony to decide if Karmelo Anthony deserves a new trial. The third annual Back-to-School Community Day Hosted by Wanda Durant and the Durant Family Charitable Foundation is taking place this weekend. She'll be here in the studio to talk about this weekend's event.

Jared Yates Sexton is out this week, so co-host Nick Hauselman sits down with Fred Wellman, the Democratic nominee in Missouri's second congressional district and a four-time combat veteran who spent 22 years as an Army officer, including service under General David Petraeus and General Martin Dempsey. Wellman makes the case that the Iran war is the biggest strategic blunder in American military history, bar none, and lays out exactly why the USS Lincoln is suffering: the administration launched a war with no allies and then got the bases that supply the fleet blown up, leaving 5,000 sailors stranded on a ship with no port to dock at while Pete Hegseth flies to Iowa to prep a presidential campaign. He talks about running against Ann Wagner, who has quadrupled her net worth to $26 million while in Congress, and why the voters he meets at doors in suburban Saint Louis care less about culture war issues than about whether their kids can afford to live in their own hometown. He lays out what he'd do from day one in Congress on stock trading, gun safety, abortion rights, and military oversight. And he's clear he's not going to Washington to work for Hakeem Jeffries or the DNC but to fight for 750,000 Missourians.
CrowdScience listener Matt wants to know why he's warm blooded. He started thinking about this when he was watching some ants during the recent heatwave in Europe and wondered why their blood didn't boil. What are the pros and cons of being warm-blooded like us or cold-blooded reptiles like lizards? Caroline Steel meets evolutionary biologist Dr Manuel Leal from the University of Missouri in the US, who explains the differences between ectotherms (cold-blooded animals) and endotherms (warm-blooded animals). She discovers that the terms cold blooded and warm blooded are actually misleading, because reptiles can reach a high body temperature and some might even become warmer than us. She talks to Simon Hodder, Professor of Environmental Ergonomics at Loughborough University in the UK, who describes how our bodies regulate heat, how we cool down when we get too warm and how that's all controlled by our brains. Caroline also gets to meet some hedgehogs in the wild with Julia Nowack, an ecophysiologist from Liverpool John Moores University, who researches thermoregulation and is monitoring hedgehogs when they hibernate. Changing body temperature is one of the ways that some endotherms survive the winter when it's colder and there's less food around. So who has the advantage? The warm-blooded endotherms who can heat their own bodies or the cold-blooded ectotherms who rely on the sun? Reptiles can get away with eating very occasionally while mammals and birds have to keep fuelling their energy with food to keep the heat going. That means we can live in most climates and have a better chance of escaping predators, but is it really best?

Welcome to Missouri, where the booze is conveniently located, the dispensaries are plentiful, and buying a car on Sunday is apparently where society decided to establish some boundaries.Episode 41 kicks off with Rizz and Moon embracing their new identities as BMW owners ahead of a BMW-sponsored golf tournament. Surely the logo on the hood counts as a parking credential, right? Lern attempts to explain concepts like “parking passes” and “hang tags,” but luxury has changed these men. They've seen the badge. They know what they're worth now.From there, this comedy podcast investigates what outsiders notice when they first arrive in Missouri. Is it the rolling green landscape? The hills? The beautiful scenery? Nope. It's the ability to walk into a grocery store and buy hard liquor like a civilized Midwesterner.A woman new to Missouri is stunned by the accessibility of alcohol and recreational weed, which sends the crew down a rabbit hole of grocery-store liquor laws across America. Apparently some states still make you visit a separate store to purchase booze. We assume residents there spend their evenings staring sadly toward Missouri and wondering where freedom went wrong.But Missouri has its limits.You can buy liquor. You can visit a dispensary. You can apparently grab a tall boy at a gas station with concerning ease. But if you want to purchase a car on Sunday? Absolutely not, you lawless animal.The discovery of Missouri's “blue law” leads to another revelation: Lern and Rafe enjoy wandering dealership lots on Sundays specifically because the salespeople aren't there. Rizz finds this behavior completely alien because, according to Rizz, he loves human interaction. Moon immediately requests that the program stop lying to its audience.Then it's time for workplace rage.A leaked video of former Detroit news anchor Taryn Asher berating a colleague launches a debate over losing your temper at work, professionalism, double standards and whether one meltdown should define somebody's career. Naturally, this means revisiting some of broadcasting and Hollywood's most legendary freak-outs.Chris Berman gets angry. Christian Bale goes nuclear. Bill O'Reilly encounters the phrase “to play us out” and briefly enters another dimension.The crew debates whether these blowups are understandable high-pressure moments or just adults being terrible to coworkers. Lern also shares her own battles against studio technology, proving once again that the greatest threat to morning radio isn't declining attention spans—it's a computer deciding at 5 a.m. that today feels like a good day to die.Then Crap on Celebrities arrives with some genuinely sad rock news: longtime ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard has died at 77. The crew looks back at the band's massive career, their unmistakable Texas blues-rock sound, their MTV-era reinvention and the scientific fact that putting on a ZZ Top song makes you approximately 34% more likely to feel capable of winning a bar fight.It also raises an important question nobody else was brave enough to investigate: Has anyone ever seen ZZ Top wearing shorts?The comedy podcast rolls deeper into entertainment chaos with Nick Jonas revealing that he completely bombed his audition for Frozen after arriving unprepared, Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan expanding his Arizona empire with a sushi restaurant and apparently carrying the same pair of traveling chopsticks for decades, updates surrounding Tupac's murder trial, new Queens of the Stone Age music, and the planned return of Ozzfest.The celebrity pile continues with Robin Williams' children fighting AI-generated impersonations of their father and reactivating his official Instagram account as a source for authentic material. The crew also looks ahead to Dune: Part Three sharing a release weekend with Avengers: Doomsday, because movie theaters apparently decided December needed its own traffic apocalypse.David Krumholtz says he's stepping away from acting after more than 30 years in Hollywood, which leads everyone into the great “I know that guy!” exercise before the conversation turns toward the tiny club of movies that have crossed $1 billion worldwide.That becomes a game of guessing the biggest box-office monsters before pivoting into actors whose careers were revived by one huge role: John Travolta in Pulp Fiction, Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man, Keanu Reeves in John Wick, Brendan Fraser in The Whale, Bruce Willis in Die Hard and more.By the end, we've covered BMW privilege, Missouri liquor laws, empty car dealerships, workplace tantrums, ZZ Top, celebrity news, AI, Dune, billion-dollar movies and celebrity birthdays.And just when you think the show has reached the absolute peak of intellectual discourse, Rizz teases what's coming next:A school has a fart corner.Education is healing.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.
Hump Day arrives with a surprise nobody saw coming—especially King Scott, who walked into what he thought was another perfectly normal Hubbard Radio meeting and instead found a full-blown baby shower waiting for him. Balloons? Check. Barbecue? Absolutely. Enough diapers to make every parent in the room experience a traumatic flashback? You bet. Lern deserves special recognition for successfully stalling King Scott by basically throwing every conversational emergency she could think of at him until the surprise was ready. Nothing suspicious about suddenly needing to discuss your entire medical history and possibly the Old Testament inside a radio booth.Then Rafe reports back from Outlaw Music Festival, where his long-running mission to get aboard Willie Nelson's tour bus once again encountered the minor obstacle of Willie Nelson being protected like the President of Texas. Rafe breaks down the impressive lineup, including Stephen Wilson Jr., Things somehow get more uncomfortable when Rizz shares some old high-school gossip involving a former student eventually dating one of her former teachers. That launches a much bigger conversation about age differences, authority, small-town dating pools and exactly how long after graduation something stops being weird. Listener stories arrive to make everything substantially less comfortable. Mission accomplished.Meanwhile, Walmart drone deliveries are heading toward parts of the St. Louis area, and Maplewood residents have questions about noise, birds, hacking, air traffic and whether Grandma really needs groceries descending from the heavens. There's also concern over the future of a historic Webster Groves theater, plus the incredible story of a mystery semi driver who stopped a van traveling the wrong way on I-70 and then apparently returned to his truck without waiting around for a parade. Finally, the crew discovers which car brand has some of the worst drivers, and BMW owners—including people conveniently sitting inside the studio—are forced to absorb a statistically assisted roasting involving turn signals, hair transplants, crypto and enough stereotypes to void the warranty.Rizz and Moon embracing their new identities as BMW owners ahead of a BMW-sponsored golf tournament.

The crew also looks ahead to Dune: Part Three sharing a release weekend with Avengers: Doomsday, because movie theaters apparently decided December needed its own traffic apocalypse.Some teachers have reading corners. Some have quiet corners. One brave educator looked at her classroom and decided what these children really needed was a designated fart corner.The concept is simple: if a kid needs to let one rip, they walk over to a specific corner of the classroom, handle their business, spray a little air freshener and quietly return to their seat while supposedly “nobody pays attention.”Thankfully, St. Louis Blues broadcaster Chris Kerber joins the show to restore professionalism.That launches a full discussion about helicopter parenting, college move-in season and parents asking Facebook whether their 18-year-old should wear a robe or a towel back from the dorm shower. Chris and Moon agree on a revolutionary parenting strategy: sometimes your adult child can figure stuff out.Rizz is preparing to take his 16-year-old to tour the University of Arkansas, so Kerber offers actual useful advice among the chaos: check out the dorms, investigate the dining options and pay attention to whether the campus simply feels right.The hockey talk continues with the newly unveiled St. Louis Blues promotional calendar, including the upcoming Rizz Show Night jacket, which might legitimately be one of the best giveaways the show has done. Kerber breaks down the limited nature of theme-night tickets, the upcoming shortened NHL preseason and the excitement building around the new season.A former escort and sugar baby writes in after hearing the crew's previous conversations about dating for money and offers to answer their questions. Naturally, the room immediately generates approximately 700 of them. How much money? What was off-limits? Was sex always involved? How do repeat arrangements end? When do you tell a serious partner about that part of your past? Did you feel safe? Did you pay taxes?Pasta enters the arena. Chocolate-chip cookies arrive, although Moon repeatedly describing his ideal cookie as “wet” and “sweaty” causes unnecessary suffering. Lern chooses cake. Rafe starts negotiating the definition of pasta. Donuts make a late push. Rizz eventually lands on pizza.The rules get debated harder than most federal legislation before the conversation arrives at the true battleground: National Potato Day.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.Maplewood and St. Charles hear Walmart drone delivery pitchTrucker hailed as hero after I-70 wrong-way scareBest and Worst Drivers by Brand: 2026 ReportDetroit TV anchor caught on video calling her boss a ‘bitch' in profanity-laced newsroom blowupCould Lettuce Make Plant-Based Meat Taste More Like the Real Thing?

Legal team, it's been a little over a year since our last series on Todd and Julie Chrisley. In our previous episodes on the Chrisleys, we gave a detailed timeline on how everything unfolded, including how they became reality TV stars in the first place. Those episodes will be linked below. But in summary, the Chrisleys conspired with their former business partner to defraud Atlanta area community banks out of more than $30 million in personal loans, and they were fully convicted in a jury trial in 2023. In 2025, Todd and Julie were granted full executive pardons releasing them from federal custody. On the docket this week, we are discussing the federal malpractice lawsuit they filed this past June against their former defense attorneys, Balch & Bingham LLP and Chris Anulewicz. Todd and Julie are alleging that these lawyers failed to provide competent legal representation during their federal jury trial. We go through their complaint, what they are arguing, and point out the flaws in their case, including the use of the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine related to the documents used as evidence to convict them.
