Episode 126: Letting It All Hang Out! July 6, 2026 Do you remember “Let it (all hang) out” by The Hombres? I dug it up and play it today. The Memphis band released that in 1967 (how old were you?) and the song has been redone by David Lee Roth and John Mellencamp among others. It was let out in the beginning of the psychedelic era. You'll also hear my spotlight on Chris Hillman, who was a Byrd, played with The Flying Burrito Bros, Stephen Stills' Manassas, Desert Rose Band, JD Souther and Richie Furay and had success as a solo act. He's a player, for sure. There's even a pair from The Beau Brummels. Get your instrument ready for our first JimJam on this episode. We play The Stones' Lady Jane together.

One man spent 50 years at the same radio station. The rest of us can barely commit to a streaming service.This episode of The Rizzuto Show welcomes St. Louis radio icon John Ulett into the studio for a hilarious, nostalgic, and surprisingly emotional conversation about surviving five decades in broadcasting without being fired, arrested, or permanently trapped in a dark cork-covered radio studio.John shares stories from the wild early days of KSHE, when listeners could literally walk up to the station window, steal albums, yell requests, and occasionally terrify overnight DJs. We hear about legendary encounters with future superstars like John Mellencamp, Billy Joel, Brian Adams, Eddie Van Halen, and David Lee Roth before they became household names. Apparently every rock legend passed through St. Louis at some point—and somehow John lived to tell the stories.The gang digs into radio's golden years, discussing everything from bizarre consultant advice to the strange reality of hearing your younger self on old airchecks and realizing you sounded way more serious than you remembered. John opens up about imposter syndrome, career longevity, and what it feels like knowing generations of listeners grew up listening to him. It turns out even a broadcasting legend still worries someone will eventually figure out he has no idea what he's doing. Good news, John: you're among friends.Things get weird when stories surface about obsessive listeners, accidental hot-mic moments, profanity accidentally testing radio delay systems, and one particularly unsettling fan who learned to sound exactly like John and may or may not have wanted to wear his skin as a jacket. Just normal radio stuff.The conversation also dives into John's decades-long role as the Cardinals' PA announcer, including mispronounced player names, emotional rookie debuts, opening day memories, Jack Buck stories, and the pressure of announcing baseball legends in front of thousands of fans. Because apparently public speaking isn't stressful enough unless you're doing it over giant stadium speakers.Then, because The Rizzuto Show cannot leave well enough alone, the entire interview derails into a game called "Sick in the Head," where John and Lern battle to determine who knows more about horrifying medical conditions. Expect discussions of gout, hemorrhoids, shingles, migraines, tetanus, gallstones, sleep apnea, vitamin deficiencies, and enough symptoms to convince every listener they should immediately schedule a doctor's appointment.It's a celebration of radio history, St. Louis memories, friendship, mortality, questionable health choices, and the strange beauty of spending a lifetime entertaining people.If you love classic radio stories, behind-the-scenes broadcasting chaos, Cardinals memories, weird listener encounters, and watching two hypochondriacs become amateur doctors, this episode delivers all of it.This daily comedy show proves that the best stories come from the people who've been around long enough to collect them.Whether you're a longtime listener or discovering The Rizzuto Show for the first time, this daily comedy show is packed with laughs, nostalgia, and enough medical misinformation-adjacent panic to keep you entertained all day.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/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.

Johnny Mac previews Bill Maher receiving the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center on Sunday, June 28, filmed for Netflix, with participants including Louis C.K., Jay Leno, Stephen A. Smith, Whitney Cummings, Woody Harrelson, Arianna Huffington, and John Mellencamp, and notes past winners. He highlights Zarna Garg's comments on the Breakdown podcast about performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival to inspire women who watch her in secret, saying money wasn't her motivation, and mentions The Hollywood Reporter's note that Jessica Kirson donated her Riyadh fee to the Human Rights Campaign. The episode jokes about Knicks chatter and Jimmy Kimmel's bit on Trump possibly attending a New York game, then covers a White House lawn UFC event invite list and reports Adam Sandler won't attend. It spotlights Patton Oswalt's new YouTube special “Tea and Scotch,” his thoughts on George Carlin, Lenny Bruce, and hecklers, plus discussion of his Star Trek Strange New Worlds role.  00:00 Mark Twain Prize Preview01:12 Zarna Garg Riyadh Debate03:39 Knicks Trump Jokes04:37 UFC White House Guestlist06:44 Patton Oswalt Carlin Talk09:44 Star Trek Rant Escalates10:57 Lucas Shovel Bit12:58 New Specials Spotlight Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac-a-daily-briefing-on-comedians-and-the-comedy-industry--4522158/support.Daily Comedy News with Johnny Mac is a daily podcast covering comedians, stand-up comedy, late night television, and the comedy industry.

Interview with singer songwriter George Usher ! Stevensonville is a 12-part illustrated song-cycle that delves into the myriad goings on in its namesake locale. Each song and illustration represents a different inhabitant of Stevensonville. They sometimes reference each other in the manner of Edgar Lee Masters' Spoon River Anthology or Thornton Wilder's Our Town. The characters who people dark, repressed Stevensonville have their own very unusual and pressing issues to cope with, before they can gamble on leaving. George Usher's poetic lyrics and folk-rock and chamber pop musical settings combine with Laurie Webber's colorful, magnetic illustrations for a stunning, unique presentation. George and illustrator Webber first conceived Stevensonville 30 years ago as a literate, artistic, musical project. However, Usher's businesspeople were put off by the projected cost of recording it and manufacturing album packaging that included the hefty booklet of illustrations in view of its likely limited commercial prospects. The song cycle was performed live twice over the years, once at the Bowery Poetry Club in New York City to an enthusiastic audience. Then, it was set aside and forgotten…until now, when Ahoy Larry Pursuits and Strothard Bulldog Productions have joined forces to finally produce the album and booklet for George Usher's Stevensonville, as it was always intended. Stevensonville was produced by Tony Shanahan (Patti Smith Group), with Andy York on guitar (John Mellencamp), Brian Griffin on drums (Brandi Carlile, Black Crowes), Andy Burton on keyboards (Ian Hunter) and David Mansfield on strings (Bob Dylan, others). George Usher has been a vital part of New York City music scene since the late 1970's. The Village Voice called him, “one of New York's best pop craftsmen.” He led or was a member of a number of NYC/Hoboken based bands including The Decoys, Beat Rodeo, The Schramms, and House Of Usher during the 80's and 90's. Usher co-wrote the title tracks to Bongos frontman Richard Barone's “Cloud Over Eden” solo album and River To River EP with Barone. Country chanteuse Laura Cantrell recorded his song, “Not The Tremblin' Kind” and made it the title track of her album debut.   Over the years, George has released seven solo albums; a 2-CD Anthology 12” LP vinyl  is available on Bandcamp. He has recorded two collaborative albums with Edward Rogers as well as two with Lisa Burns, including the critically acclaimed, The Last Day Of Winter. https://www.facebook.com/p/George-Usher-100063555302040/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/0t2r3lAo89AALlzzvpmwwr  

Send us Fan MailThis week, I'm continuing my Signature Songs series with John Mellencamp — from the Johnny Cougar years to the heartland rock classics that made him one of America's great rock-n-roll songwriters.I'll look at the major contenders, including “Hurts So Good,” “Jack & Diane,” “Pink Houses,” “Small Town,” “R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.,” “Cherry Bomb,” and “Check It Out,” then make the case for the one song that I believe the general public most closely associates with Mellencamp.It's not necessarily his best song. It's not necessarily my favorite. But when it comes to a true signature song, one Mellencamp classic rises to the top. And it's all this week, on the Rock-N-Roll Show Podcast!And check out the Rock-N-Roll Show Podcast Playlist, this week featuring all of Mellencamp's top 40 hits, plus some of his other interesting tracks.Apple MusicSpotify===========================Connect with us on social media!YouTubeInstagram TikTok Facebook

Episode 279 of The Geoholics is a straight-up masterclass in reality capture, Scan to BIM, digital twins, and the future of the built world. Kent and the crew sit down with industry heavy hitters John Russo and Joseph Romano to unpack how Scan to BIM evolved from a niche service into a game-changing force across the AEC industry. From LOA standards and digital twin ecosystems to AI automation and the risks of “push-button” technology, this episode dives deep into the balance between innovation and professional expertise. The conversation also highlights the critical role of organizations like U.S. Institute of Building Documentation in driving standards, education, and credibility throughout the reality capture community. Toss in some classic Geoholics energy, a little John Mellencamp, industry pro tips, and plenty of future-focused insight—and you've got an episode built for anyone serious about where geospatial technology is headed next.

The Met Gala lacks representation, The Cult of NatureBoy on Hulu, Shannon Elizabeth justifies OnlyFans, Blake Lively fails, bratty Blue Ivy, Stefon Diggs Not Guilty, Andy Kaufman, and the personal life of Jerry Seinfeld. Met Gala: Drew didn't see many people that looked like him at the event. Blake Lively SNAPPED at helpers. Timothée Chalamet skipped the event for the New York Knicks game. Blue Ivy was a total brat. Blake Lively is falling fast. Her Betty Booze alcohol is a joke. Justin Baldoni is soft… but he's the winner in the battle. Popcorned Planet has the story covered. Andy Kaufman was a legendary wrestler. We check out his musical number on The Midnight Special. Drew recommends the Thank You Very Much documentary. John Mellencamp has great stage banter and a giant head. Franki Valli's son is a menace. Drew spent 45 minutes without a cell phone. It was a stressful day. The Cult of NatureBoy is the latest wild doc on Hulu. The Devil Wears Prada 2 made a lot of money at the box office, but not as much as Michael. Drew is yearning for comedies, dramas and Hugh Grant rom-coms. Geese is totally an industry plant. Is Greta Van Fleet finished? They posted cryptic social media posts. Stefon Diggs is not guilty of strangling his chef… who he was also banging. McDonald's is under attack! Seattle has an interesting mayor. We go on a Jerry Seinfeld deep dive thanks to the work of Wassup with Lordbuckly?. Shannon Elizabeth now has complete agency over her body… but very little agency over her money. Woodward Sports has been sold and is moving to Royal Oak. Maz's commute is not affected. Merch is for sale! Buy it. Or don't. But do.

From his roots in the heartland to his induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, John Mellencamp's journey is a testament to resilience. As an artist, Mellencamp serves as a voice for everyday Americans, Join Kennedy as he explores Mellencamp's life, highlighting early struggles that shaped his path to international success.

This episode dives into Dance Naked—a stripped-down, unpolished record that feels raw, intentional, and unexpectedly honest. I talk about first hearing it through a single overplayed track, later discovering the deeper cuts, and why the album's simplicity lands harder than it looks on the surface. It's a look at imperfection, restraint, and the kind of records that reveal more the less they try to impress.

In this unexpectedly reflective Club Random episode, John Mellencamp admits he never listens to his own songs, sometimes forgets he even wrote them, and proudly calls himself "the biggest liar." He talks about growing up in Seymour, Indiana where, as he puts it, there was nothing to do but fight before the conversation widens to Farm Aid's hard realities, the limits of celebrity activism, and his surprisingly warm early encounters with Donald Trump, including a popcorn run at the 1988 Super Bowl. He also talks about his upcoming tour playing the hits some of which he's rarely, or never, performed live. But it's a parting thought that lingers longest: "A writer writes to what he aspires to be, not what he is." Bill's still thinking about that one.

Maher won his first Emmy in 2014 as executive producer for the HBO series, “VICE.” In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher's uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, “Religulous.” Maher has written five bestsellers: “True Story,” “Does Anybody Have a Problem with That?

Bill addresses a high performer's legitimate concern about whether detachment actually helps or hurts quota achievement, and Bryan shares insights from John Mellencamp's conversation with Joe Rogan about success and happiness. The episode includes the concept of "measuring backwards" and explains why serving customers beats obsessing over your own numbers.Join the conversation: AdvancedSellingPodcast.com/linkedinIs it time to make a BOLD move in your business?
