The weather is hotter than a dashboard in August, which naturally leads the gang to ask the important scientific questions... like whether eating ridiculously spicy food actually cools you off or if someone's "Mexican friend" just made that up.Then things take an unexpected turn when the crew debates one of life's biggest questions: January or July? One side argues for sunshine, pools and BBQs, while the other passionately defends fireplaces, blankets and seasonal depression. Somehow everyone makes a compelling argument... even if none of it makes any sense.Meanwhile, Learn officially declares Dry July after an absolutely legendary night that ended exactly the way every adult swears will "never happen again." The crew relives embarrassing hangover stories, questionable late-night food choices, mysterious sink incidents, and enough bad decisions to make every listener suddenly want a glass of water.As if that wasn't enough chaos, the conversation shifts toward dangerous TikTok trends after reports of the Benadryl Challenge resurfacing. The crew mixes genuine concern with their trademark sarcasm while reminiscing about all the unbelievably dumb things their own generation somehow survived.There's also plenty of discussions about American air conditioning, European heat waves, saunas, spicy snacks during a heat advisory, weird summer traditions, and why every generation somehow invents new ways to accidentally knock themselves unconscious.Basically... if you've ever questioned your life choices while sweating through your shirt, this episode is for you.Whether you're listening at work, in traffic, by the pool, or hiding from the heat with the AC cranked to "meat locker," this daily comedy show delivers exactly the kind of ridiculous conversations you've come to expect from The Rizzuto Show.The crew dives headfirst into nostalgia after discovering an old collection of TV commercials that somehow unlocked memories nobody asked for.

Then it's Social Media Day, which naturally turns into everyone comparing screen-time stats, admitting their phone addictions, and realizing we've collectively donated years of our lives to scrolling videos of people organizing refrigerators we'll never own.Then things get weird.A tech futurist casually suggests we should all accept that privacy is basically dead, cameras will be everywhere, and the best solution is simply "be a good person." Totally normal. Naturally, the crew dives headfirst into Meta smart glasses, surveillance culture, creepy recording technology, Black Mirror predictions, and whether we're sprinting toward a future where literally everything is being watched.As if that's not enough existential dread, there's celebrity chaos everywhere.Taylor Swift wedding rumors refuse to die, Aaron Lewis accidentally becomes packing material for Taylor merch, Barry Manilow's latest appearance sparks one of the funniest conversations of the day, Limp Bizkit's comeback continues to surprise everyone, and the gang debates which era deserves a Rolling Stones biopic.There's also classic Rizz Show randomness including fake live albums, KISS concert intros, the Olsen twins making a rare appearance, John Cena's latest hair transplant adventure, Will Ferrell modeling underwear, and one wildly questionable list ranking the TV shows that supposedly define America.Basically, it's another perfectly normal episode where birthday planning somehow turns into discussions about government surveillance, celebrity gossip, 90s rock, social media addiction, and whether anyone can still tell the Olsen twins apart.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.Budweiser Is Giving Out Free Beer to Celebrate America's 250th Birthday'I felt them on my face': Rogers Park tenant says rats chewed on him while he sleptYoungsville woman bitten by copperhead while taking out trash shares warningSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Doggziller and Jellphonic popped thru the show this ep! We were still buzzing from Friday's Circling Sun show at the Pitt St Methodist Churc, so we had to kick off with their "Bliss Part 2" before spinning a couple for the birthday girl Linda Clifford dropping a couple from her late-70s RSO Records disco nuggets "Don't Give It Up" and "Runaway Love". From there things got properly funky: Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band's steel-pan reading of Mtume's "Juicy Fruit" (the B-side 45 on Big Crown, 2022), Bobby Oroza doing his Finnish-Texan soul thing on "I Got Love," and the Terea deep cut "Pretty Bird." The boogie continuum kept things moving through The Deele, O'Bryan, and a touch of Tatsuro Yamashita's 1977 City Pop gem "Paper Doll," before Evelyn Champagne King's "Shake Down," Dynasty's "Check It Out," and The Time's "Get It Up" pushed the tempo right up. The second half ranged wide without losing the thread. Leenalchi's "Here Comes That Crow" - the Seoul seven-piece's just-dropped Luaka Bop debut, a chopped pansori tale rerouted through bass-heavy psych-funk - sat comfortably alongside Daktaris' raw Afrobeat ("Eltsuhg Ibal Lasiti" from their Soul Explosion LP from the Daptone studio) and a run of West African gold: Zeal Onyia's Nigerian highlife, Ebo Taylor & Pat Thomas' "Yes Indeed" (originally recorded in Togo for the 1981 Abotar LP Super Sounds Namba), and Julian Y Su Combo's Afro-Cuban "Enyere Kumbara." Sharon Jones's "What If We All Stopped Paying Taxes," Trio Mocotó's samba-funk "Chamego De Ine," and (birthday boy) Marcus Miller's "I Could Give You More". Heatwave's "Too Hot To Handle" clocked 50 years this month, so you know we had to give "Ain't No Half Steppin" some airtime. Press the button.

There are people who grow dahlias, and then there are people who spend two decades quietly shaping what dahlias can become. Kristine Albrecht is one of those people.From a weed-choked quarter acre in Santa Cruz, California, Kristine has built an extraordinary breeding program, growing 1,500 seedlings a year and selecting only about 50 to carry forward. Her cultivars (all marked with the K.A. prefix) have won some of the highest honors in the dahlia world, including multiple Daryl Hart Awards and the Stanley Johnson Medal. She was the first California breeder to receive that honor.In this conversation, Kristine walks us through how she got started (giant pumpkins played a role), what hand pollination actually looks like in the field, why she keeps organza bags on everything in August, and what traits she's breeding for right now. We also get into soil health, virus testing, the Juicy Fruit gopher trick, and why your soil test matters more than any recipe you'll find online.Key Takeaways Hybridizing is a numbers game and a patience game. Kristine starts with 1,500 seedlings and keeps about 50 by season's end. Hand pollination gives you more control over traits. Open pollination from bees adds genetic diversity. Both are valuable. First-year seedlings are incredibly vigorous, and most are virus-free when grown from seed. About 87% of older dahlia varieties carry virus, which is why new, clean varieties matter so much. There is no universal soil recipe for dahlias. Get a soil test and feed based on what YOUR soil actually needs. Kristine practices no-till farming with cover crops, building soil biology over time rather than tilling each year. She carries a bleach solution in a wearable pack to sanitize cutting tools between every plant. Patience is everything. Some breeding goals take 4 years. Some take 15.Resources & Links Mentioned Santa Cruz Dahlias website: santacruzdahlias.com Kristine's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/santacruzdahlias/ Kristine's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kristinealbrecht3560 Book: Dahlia Breeding for the Farmer, Florist, and the Home Gardener https://amzn.to/4sEjn1Q Book: Dahlias: Seed to Bloom https://amzn.to/4myYF25 Stonehouse Dahlias (licensed seller of K.A. varieties.

OYSN! Legacy Series – Bonus Replay Episode 115 As part of the OYSN! Legacy Series, I'm sharing this special bonus replay featuring one of my Diamonds, Juicy Fruit, whose story speaks to the quiet pain so many women carry for far too long. In this episode, Juicy Fruit opens up about what life felt like before she chose to work on her intimacy and sense of self. Like many women, she had learned to put her desires last, remain in situations that no longer served her, and silence her own needs—until she realized how disconnected and unhappy she had become. This conversation explores the moment of awakening that led her to choose herself, the shifts she made through the Own Your Sexuality Now! program, and how reconnecting with her worth, voice, and desires transformed both her inner world and her relationships. These Legacy Series replays honor the real stories of women who allowed themselves to see the truth of where they were—and courageously chose something more.

Humans have been chewing gum for thousands of years - from ancient tree resins to modern spearmint sticks, the habit has endured across cultures and centuries. Now, research in the journal in the journal Brain Science finds what gum-chewers have long suspected - chewing gum can really affect how our brains work. The story of gum goes back at least 8,000 years. Archaeological evidence shows that early humans chewed birchbark pitch to soften it into glue for making tools. Ancient Greeks chewed mastic resin, Native Americans used spruce sap, and the Maya enjoyed chicle, a natural latex from sapodilla trees. While these substances had practical uses, people also seemed to enjoy their soothing, calming effects. Chewing gum as we know it took off in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, thanks largely to William Wrigley Jr. who transformed gum from a novelty into an everyday habit. His brands, including Juicy Fruit and Spearmint, promised more than just flavour they sold gum as a solution for nervousness, hunger and lack of focus. Even back then, some researchers were intrigued. A study in the 1940s found that people who chewed gum appeared less tense, though scientists couldn't explain why. A 2025 scientific review examined more than 30 years of brain-imaging studies on gum chewing. Using technologies such as MRI scans, EEG recordings and near-infrared spectroscopy, the researchers looked at what happens inside the brain when people chew. They found that chewing gum doesn't just activate the muscles and sensory areas needed to move the jaw. It also affects brain regions involved in attention, alertness and emotional regulation. In EEG studies, chewing was linked to short-term changes in brain-wave patterns associated with heightened alertness and what researchers describe as 'relaxed concentration.' That may explain why gum seems to help during dull or repetitive tasks. 'If you're doing a fairly boring task for a long time, chewing seems to be able to help with concentration'. The review also found that chewing gum can reduce stress, but only under certain conditions. In lab experiments, people who chewed gum during mildly stressful situations, such as public speaking or mental math exercises, often reported feeling less anxious. However, gum didn't consistently help in high-stress medical situations, like right before surgery, or when participants faced impossible tasks designed to provoke frustration. Some experts think the effect may be related to fidgeting. Chewing gives the brain a simple, repetitive action to latch onto, which may help regulate attention and stress. As the researchers noted, chewing gum appears capable of influencing brain activity 'beyond simple oral motor control,' even if the effects are often short-lived. For now, chewing gum isn't a miracle cure for stress or focus, but it may offer a small, temporary boost during boring or mildly stressful moments. After thousands of years, science is finally beginning to explain why such a simple habit has stuck around. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At a Marsh supermarket in Troy, Ohio, a packet of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum became the first ever product to have its barcode scanned - at 8:01 a.m. on June 26th, 1974. Inspired by the morse code training of his Boy Scout days, Norman Joseph Woodland first sketched out a barcode on a Florida beach in 1948, drawing dots and dashes in the sand. Together with fellow Drexel Institute graduate student Bernard Silver, he received a U.S. Patent in 1952 - but it would be another 20 years before IBM produced the technology that could be rolled out to grocery stores. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how the invention accelerated the growth of the largest retailers; consider Woodland's original ‘bullseye' barcode design; and reveal why conspiracy theorists think barcodes are the DEVIL's work… Further Reading: • ‘How the barcode changed retailing and manufacturing' (BBC News, 2017): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-38498700 • ‘N Joseph Woodland obituary' (The Guardian, 2012): https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2012/dec/16/n-joseph-woodland • ‘How Do Barcodes Work?'

How do you hold onto peace when life feels like it's falling apart?In this powerful installment of our Juicy Fruit series, Pastor Talaat McNeely invites us into a life-giving conversation about peace—not as the absence of problems, but as the presence of the Holy Spirit in the middle of the storm.From personal stories of grief and loss to biblical truths from Galatians 5 and Philippians 4, Pastor Talaat reminds us that the storms of life don't have to break us. When we allow the Holy Spirit to cultivate peace within us, what should have crushed us will only stretch us—and make us stronger.In this episode, you'll discover:Why peace is not a feeling but a fruit of the SpiritThe danger of confusing calm with godly peaceHow to shift from fighting the storm to resting in Christ's victoryWhy spiritual discipline deepens your capacity for peaceHow to become not just a peace recipient—but a peacemakerWhether you're navigating conflict, grief, uncertainty, or delay—this episode is your invitation to surrender, trust, and receive the peace that surpasses all understanding.

What if the joy you've been chasing isn't found in a feeling, but in a Person?In this powerful Mother's Day message, Prophetess Tai McNeely brings Part 2 of our Juicy Fruit: A Garden of Godly Character series with a soul-stirring teaching on JOY—not the fleeting emotion the world offers, but the overflowing, unshakable joy that comes from abiding in the presence of God.With humor, depth, and revelation, Prophetess Tai walks us through:The difference between happiness and true, Spirit-led joyHow joy is directly connected to the grace of GodWhy abiding in Christ is the key to lasting joyWhat it means to cherish and protect your joyHow joy is meant to be expressed, not hiddenWhether you're in a mountaintop season or walking through the valley, this message will remind you that joy isn't just possible—it's promised when you're rooted in Christ.

We're coming at you this week from the time machine, so we just found out about the Pope and how JD Vance probably caused him to keel over.
