Nothing exposes how differently your coworkers' brains function quite like asking them to name a country in Europe and putting concert tickets on the line.This episode of The Rizzuto Show brings us another round of “Just the Two of Us,” the deceptively simple contest where callers pick two members of the show, Rafe asks five questions, and those two people attempt to match at least three answers.Easy, right?Absolutely not.Before the competition begins, Rizz takes a trip through “Back in the Day,” remembering everything from The Carol Burnett Show and Little House on the Prairie to Warrant's “Cherry Pie,” Johnny Unitas, John Ritter and one of the Internet's earliest great gifts: Nick Nolte's spectacularly disheveled mugshot.Then it's time to give away concert tickets, and suddenly this daily comedy becomes the most stressful game show in St. Louis.The prize pile is loaded with Candlebox, Violent Femmes, Toadies, Babymetal and the final precious pairs of Rush tickets. Unfortunately for the listeners, their ability to attend these concerts depends entirely on whether members of the Rizz Show can agree on incredibly complicated concepts like “an ocean.”Devon and Moon kick things off for caller Adam, who wants Rush tickets. They immediately connect on France, miss each other on states beginning with M, recover with the Arch as a St. Louis tourist attraction and seal the deal with the Pacific Ocean.Adam is going to Rush.For once, this show has successfully accomplished something.Then Rizz and Moon attempt to win Babymetal tickets for Paul. They agree on baseball but immediately demonstrate why this game is dangerous when “name an Olympic sport” produces hockey and curling. Dumbbell saves them on gym equipment, but sledding versus skiing and NFL versus MLB finish the job.Sorry, Paul.The Babymetal dream has died at the hands of winter recreation.Rizz and Moon get another chance when Brad wants Violent Femmes tickets, and this time food brings everybody together. Peanut butter and jelly. Sausage pizza. Vanilla ice cream. McDonald's.Beautiful.Unfortunately, the phrase “healthy breakfast cereal” gives us Grape-Nuts, a cereal the show describes with all the enthusiasm normally reserved for eating landscaping material. Somehow that leads to confessions about demolishing boxes of Lucky Charms and Corn Pops, including the dangerous cycle of adding cereal because you have leftover milk, then adding milk because you have leftover cereal, until the box is empty and you're sitting alone with your shame.This is the nutritional guidance you expect from The Rizzuto Show.Then comes the final pair of Rush tickets.Kyle chooses Lern and Devon, setting up an alleged generational showdown between a 41-year-old and a 30-year-old.

They match immediately on guitar. Then rock. Things are looking suspiciously competent.Naturally, it cannot last.Asked to name a famous rock band from the 1980s, Devon goes with Mötley Crüe while Rizz lands elsewhere, launching an argument over what exactly qualifies as an “'80s band” and whether Rush counts just because Moving Pictures came out in 1981.Then comes the holiday-song disaster.Devon chooses Mariah Carey's “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”Rizz chooses “Jingle Bells.”Suddenly we're debating whether the most obvious Christmas song is determined by history, kindergarten classrooms or how aggressively Mariah Carey emerges from hibernation every November.It all comes down to one final question:Name something you find on a desk.The obvious possibilities are endless. Computer. Stapler. Tape dispenser. Mouse.Rizz and Devon?Pen.LAMP.“There will be no Candlebox today.”Brutal.Along the way, the crew also defends Candlebox's honor, remembers their early Pointfest days, argues about cereal, discusses the Raygun breakdancing documentary, makes questionable winter-activity suggestions and repeatedly proves that knowing someone for years does not mean you have any clue what word is about to come out of their mouth.That's the beauty of “Just the Two of Us.” The questions aren't difficult. The people answering them are.This episode is daily comedy at its most beautifully unnecessary: great concert tickets, easy questions, terrible instincts, miraculous comebacks, wounded callers and an astonishing amount of emotional investment in whether two adults can independently write down “McDonald's.”Come for the Rush tickets.

Welcome to another episode of The Rizzuto Show, where getting stitches removed somehow leads to naked shopping, bathroom trauma, fart acceptance, a landfill cat rescue and a serious debate over whether anybody under 25 knows what cash is anymore.This funny show starts with Rizz preparing to finally get his stitches removed and worrying about the scar underneath. Naturally, this becomes a conversation about aging, falling down stairs, mysterious back injuries, hearing loss, stretching just to remain operational and the depressing discovery that modern medicine may be helping us live longer without necessarily making those extra years more comfortable. Welcome to the Geriatric Morning Show. Please bend at the knees when exiting. Then Rizz offers the crew a choice between a nice story and somebody getting naked at Home Goods. Guess which one wins.A Florida shopper reportedly walks into Home Goods, apologizes to a woman, drops his pants and eventually ends up wandering around the store naked. This somehow inspires Lern to consider whether shopping at Home Goods completely nude might actually be enjoyable under the correct circumstances. Soon the crew is discussing nudist resorts, naked grocery shopping and towel etiquette because we apparently abandoned the original story somewhere around decorative throw pillows.That also gives Rafe the opportunity to share his own recent encounter with unexpected nudity: walking into a restaurant bathroom and finding a grown man at the urinal with his pants and underwear completely around his ankles. Full moon. Broad daylight.Rafe's brain immediately activates what Lern describes as the human security system designed to detect either exposed butts or approaching lions. It's science. Probably.The episode then moves into an alleged MMA fighter-versus-chimpanzee story that has the crew firmly rooting for the animal and questioning every decision that led humanity to this particular moment. Thankfully, we eventually get an animal story everybody can celebrate: Mike, an eight-year-old cat accidentally thrown away inside an old couch.After the couch reaches a massive landfill, workers miraculously spot Mike stranded above a trash pit. A crew uses heavy equipment to help rescue him before animal control eventually gets him identified and reunited with his owner. Mike survives. Humanity gets one point back. Then comes one of modern society's smallest yet most powerful social anxieties: the restaurant payment screen. “It's going to ask you a quick question.” WE KNOW WHAT THE QUESTION IS.The gang debates tipping pressure, servers standing beside you while you choose a percentage and the awkward eye contact that turns paying for lunch into a hostage negotiation. A viral server offers a surprisingly simple solution: hand over the device and talk to somebody else while the customer finishes paying. Meanwhile, Gen Alpha has apparently solved another social crisis entirely: being embarrassed about farting.A dance teacher says younger students just let them rip without carrying the shame previous generations dragged around for decades. Moon is thrilled. Lern shares some personal wind-instrument history. Suddenly the Rizzuto Show is analyzing bass versus treble fart tones because NPR wasn't available.The generational divide continues when Rizz watches a young Panera cashier struggle with actual paper money. That launches a debate over whether cash is still king, whether digital money is safer, what happens if the power grid goes down and whether anyone really wants to shave pieces off a gold bar to pay for bananas at Schnucks.From there, the crew remembers the inconveniences younger generations escaped: waiting beside the family phone for an important call, giant telephone cords, payphones, snow-day announcements, shared phone lines and parents losing their minds when somebody dared call during dinner. But this episode also takes a meaningful turn.Rizz reflects on September 11 and what it means that an event still so vivid for people who experienced it is now history taught to younger generations who weren't alive when it happened. He shares memories of being in Manhattan that morning, the confusion surrounding the attacks and the way people came together afterward.The crew also discusses Wells Crowther, remembered as the Man in the Red Bandana, who repeatedly helped people escape the South Tower before losing his own life. Rizz connects the story to conversations with his daughter and the importance of remembering not only what happened, but the people who ran toward danger to help others. Well, this one gets uncomfortable immediately.The Rizzuto Show discusses the fallout surrounding former Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton and the chat room he was reportedly spotted visiting on a flight. The organization behind that online community responds to the controversy, and suddenly the crew finds itself having a much more complicated conversation than anybody probably expected this early in the morning.The discussion centers on a difficult question: if someone recognizes that they're having dangerous or disturbing thoughts and genuinely wants professional help before ever harming another person, where should that help come from — and where is the line between providing treatment and creating an environment that could normalize or encourage those thoughts?It's exactly the kind of conversation where this comedy podcast somehow wanders from psychology and morality to robot technology and eventually a hypothetical island solution nobody should ever allow this crew to administer. Thankfully, Crap on Celebrities eventually arrives to rescue everyone from that conversation. Sort of.The Foo Fighters have quietly released a six-track live EP featuring performances from intimate club shows, with proceeds supporting local charities fighting food insecurity. So that's genuinely nice. Then the Spice Girls decide to emotionally clothesline their fans. After teasing a major announcement and getting reunion-starved fans dreaming about a possible Sphere residency, the big reveal turns out to be…a 14-disc singles collection. FOURTEEN DISCS.Somewhere, somebody had already started explaining to their spouse why spending irresponsible amounts of money to hear “Wannabe” in Las Vegas was actually a sound financial decision. Instead, congratulations: here are B-sides.Michael Jackson memorabilia also enters the conversation when one of his crystal-covered gloves from the Victory Tour heads to auction. The crew is shocked by the projected price and immediately starts calculating its future value like they're suddenly Sotheby's with fart jokes.Snoop Dogg is announced as host of the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, Nirvana is set for the Video Vanguard Award, and the gang wonders who exactly the VMAs are for anymore. Once upon a time, you planned your entire night around MTV. Now we're explaining to the children that MTV technically still exists.St. Louis gets dragged into Crap on Celebrities too, with Sexyy Red facing a lawsuit over allegations that she posted a woman's home address and encouraged followers to attack her. Her attorney disputes the allegations, but it gives the show another opportunity to demonstrate why “celebrity news” is sometimes just a nicer phrase for “what the hell is happening?”And then we get Rick Springfield. During an appearance on Joe Rogan, Springfield discussed spending time entertaining American troops in Vietnam in 1968 and described being caught in an attack. According to his story, soldiers had him fire a mortar toward an area where enemy forces were believed to be moving. The next day, he says, a soldier told him, “you got one.” That revelation leads to a very serious discussion about the emotional weight Springfield says he still carries from the experience. It also leads Rafe to have…questions. A lot of questions.The crew debates the details of the story, how a teenage musician visiting troops ends up operating a mortar, what training would have been necessary, how anyone could have confirmed the result afterward and whether decades can alter the way people remember extraordinary experiences.Celebrity chaos continues with Nobody Wants This, the return of Practical Magic, Sandra Bullock, some rough Rotten Tomatoes scores, Liam Neeson continuing his lifelong commitment to finding people, and an Oasis documentary apparently becoming the safest movie choice of the weekend.The crew also discusses a documentary examining Alec Baldwin during the legal fallout surrounding the Rust shooting before Lern tries to brighten a show filled with unusually serious subjects by bringing in Dolly Parton and a posthumously released recording of “Bound to Ride.” That immediately creates another important Rizzuto Show question: exactly where are you supposed to listen to bluegrass? Driving sadly through the countryside? Silver Dollar City? Somewhere near Branson while buying a pop gun? We may never know.Then it's celebrity birthdays, Brian De Palma appreciation, a reminder that Carlito's Way deserves your attention and, because we apparently weren't already operating at maximum weirdness, the traditional porno birthday.Nothing exposes how differently your coworkers' brains function quite like asking them to name a country in Europe and putting concert tickets on the line.

They agree on baseball but immediately demonstrate why this game is dangerous when “name an Olympic sport” produces hockey and curling. Dumbbell saves them on gym equipment, but sledding versus skiing and NFL versus MLB finish the job. Sorry, Paul.

Send us Fan MailTGTPTU's olds take a break from handing out shiny nickels and Werther's Originals warm from their pockets and yelling at clouds to join Gen Z cohosts Thomas and Jack for the latter's third pick from Ron Howard, the child star turned hack director's big studio, Industrial Light & Magic, four-quadrant blockbuster COCOON (1985).   Chosen due to nightmares it'd given to, and an insane plot retelling by, Jack's friend, this first-time watch for him is remembered fondly as a family outing and rewatch by Gen X cohosts Ken and Ryan. That friend's plot summary of extraterrestrials passing in human skinsuits abducting retirement home residents after seducing them with youthful lives of breakdancing and sexual congress does sound terrifying, but the film filters much of this through an all-star cast of Golden Age Hollywood actors (including this film's Oscar-winning Best Supporting Actor Don Ameche and his four-out-of-four-star gams) and the youthful innocence of child actor Barret Oliver from The NeverEnding Story (1984) and the titular Daryl in D.A.R.Y.L. (1985). The flick also has a mid-twenties Steve Guttenberg in short shorts. Who likes the Gute in short shorts? We like the Gute in short shorts.  Exclusive to listeners of this episode, Ryan reveals the location of Atlantis; Thomas considers sex as an and/or with elderly person(s); Jack reveals his childhood-trauma-by-proxy; and Ken is unimpressed by the chase scenes but very into Gwen Verdon's legs.

As part of Howard's deal with Corman, the success of EMD put the boy who once played Opie Taylor in TV's The Andy Griffith's Show in charge of first and second units, stunt coordinators, helicopters, and his kin/fellow actors brother Clint Howard and father Rance Howard—all this on the day after Ron's 23rd birthday.  GTA's plot follows young elopers played by Howard and Nacy Morgan (who might be best known as John Ritter's first wife), who've stolen Morgan's father's Rolls-Royce to avoid the pressure of her pseudo-arranged marriage to a rich dweeb. This theft leads Morgan's father, a prominent citizen about to run for major office, to have his security detail retrieve his car (and daughter). Morgan's jilted dweeb upon learning he's not to be betrothed assumes she's been kidnapped and calls a local radio station to put a bounty on her safe return before stealing a car to give chase himself, causing his wealthy mother to call the same station to offer a separate bounty for her son's safe return. From there, cars go crash, clang, boom, and pow.   Start peeling off your lead paint and start snacking on its sweet goodness to revel in this 70's film concept of comedy during what the hosts generally agree is a second-screener.   This ep, Ryan turns his head cold to his advantage as a radio announcer; Jack reveals this and Solo (2018) are the only Howard movies he's seen prior; and Thomas and Ken recommend (re)listening to the Any Which Way You Can episode and dunk hard on regular Howard collaborating producer Brian Grazer's hair.  CORRECTION: Jonathan Demme's film for Roger Corman wasn't Handle with Care (nor was it Woody Allen's Radio Days) but Caged Heat (followed by Crazy Momma) when Demme was giving Howard some Corman-related advice.   THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Detectives Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler search for a baby who was ripped out of her pregnant mother's body. The detectives learn Nichol Manning was having an affair and suspect the man who may be the actual father. But the alibi of Nichol's husband isn't adding up. Dr. George Huang says Richard Manning (played by John Ritter) is an arrogant neat freak who didn't want another man's baby ruining his life. Though the infant is later found dead, ADA Alexandra Cabot says they have to prove the child took one breath to make a murder charge stick. During a devastating cross-examination, Manning gives them the proof they need: he says the baby cried before he killed it.  We're talking about Special Victims Unit season 3 episode 11 "Monogamy."

Matt and Laci take a long look at the 1998 horror-comedy film Bride of Chucky.    The Child's Play franchise stands out among the classic horror movie series because it has, from the beginning, largely been stewarded by one man: screenwriter Don Mancini. The show goes through Mancini's inspiration for writing the original 1988 film as a critique on the advertising industry, and the diminishing returns of the two sequels that caused the franchise to go dormant for most of the '90s. Then, the success of Scream led to a revitalization of horror, so Chucky was brought back from the dead, and this time, he'd have a manic gothic dream girl in the form of Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly). The history segment closes with a look at Jennifer Tilly's legacy, and how she had no idea how much playing Tiffany would define her career, or how much love people had for her character and the Chucky franchise. Then, Laci and Matt review Bride of Chucky itself—how well does it serve as a soft reboot of the franchise? Does the humor work? Does it successfully juggle its tones? Can puppets carry a movie on their own? And does something like this even need to try to be scary?

Cohen from Stephen King's 1986 novel of the same name.The story revolves around a predatory monster that can transform itself into its prey's worst fears to devour them, allowing it to exploit the phobias of its victims. It mostly takes the humanoid form of Pennywise, an evil clown. Cast members included Tim Curry (Pennywise), Richard Thomas, Annette O'Toole, John Ritter, Harry Anderson, Jonathan Brandis, Tim Reid, Dennis Christopher, and others. Produced by Green/Epstein Productions, It was filmed over a period of three months in Vancouver, British Columbia, in mid-1990 with a budget of $12 million, double the usual television budget. While divided critical perspectives towards It have continued in later years, the miniseries has become most known for Curry's version of Pennywise, considered by several publications to be one of the scariest clown characters in film and television. It has also spawned an Indiegogo-funded documentary film about the miniseries' production, titled Pennywise: The Story of It (2020); and an alternate history sequel short named Georgie, also by the producers of the documentary.It (titled onscreen as It Chapter One) is a 2017 American supernatural horror film directed by Andy Muschietti and written by Chase Palmer, Cary Fukunaga, and Gary Dauberman. Starring Jaeden Lieberher and Bill Skarsgård, the film was produced by New Line Cinema, KatzSmith Productions, Lin Pictures, and Vertigo Entertainment.A critical and commercial success, the film set box office records and grossed over $704 million worldwide, becoming the third-highest-grossing R-rated film at the time of its release, and grossed over $719 million through subsequent re-releases. Unadjusted for inflation, it became the highest-grossing horror film of all time. The film received generally positive reviews, with critics praising the performances, direction, cinematography and musical score, and was called one of the best Stephen King adaptations.The second film, It Chapter Two, was released in 2019, covering the remainder of the book.

Ahoy again, cruise lovers! Welcome back to E-Motion Sickness, the Word Balloon Love Boat re-watch where Ian Brill Franco and I climb aboard the Pacific Princess and relive the romance, comedy, and wonderfully over-the-top guest stars that made this show a Saturday-night TV institution.Today we're diving into Season 1, Episode 2, which originally aired October 1st, 1977 — and already you can see the formula that would make The Love Boat a hit for the next decade. Three stories, a boatload of celebrity guest stars, and plenty of romantic chaos on the high seas.First up is “Oh, Dale!” featuring a very young John Ritter, playing a heartbroken guy who sneaks onto the cruise disguised as a woman just to chase after the girlfriend who dumped him — and winds up sharing a cabin with another jilted passenger played by Tovah Feldshuh.Then there's “The Main Event,” where future Jeffersons legend Sherman Hemsley and comedy powerhouse LaWanda Page play a constantly bickering married couple who suddenly have to confront their relationship when they get trapped together in an elevator.And finally “A Tasteful Affair,” starring Jaclyn Smith and Dennis Cole in a romantic mystery where a woman trying to escape her troubled marriage takes the cruise — unaware that the charming man she's met on board is actually the private investigator her husband hired to spy on her.It's classic Love Boat: disguises, romantic misunderstandings, and a cast list that looks like a 1970s TV all-star game. So pour yourself a tropical drink, grab a deck chair, and join us as we revisit John Ritter in drag, elevator warfare with Hemsley and Page, and one of the early Jaclyn Smith appearances just before Charlie's Angels took off. This is E-Motion Sickness — a Love Boat re-watch — only on Word Balloon.
