Fall is officially here, so naturally The Rizzuto Show begins with “candlescaping” — the art of strategically filling your home with complementary candles, fragrances and enough open flames to make Moon deeply uncomfortable. Lern is ready for soup, Halloween decorations and a house that smells like books, while Rizz reveals his family was apparently ahead of the candle game with legendary corn cob candles. Finally, the family legacy gets the recognition it deserves.Then this daily comedy discovers Gen Z would like millennials to stop ending texts with “LOL.” Apparently it can come across as passive-aggressive, dismissive or even hostile, which is unfortunate because the crew plans to pry LOL from its cold, dead hands. Things only get worse when Rizz introduces the alleged replacements, including “laughing in my head,” “laughing by obligation,” “laughing so I don't cry” and the painfully relatable “hanging by a thread.”Speaking of hanging by a thread, why does life suddenly feel like it's moving at warp speed? The crew gets into research about why childhood summers felt endless while adulthood disappears in approximately seven business minutes. The discussion turns surprisingly nostalgic as everyone remembers childhood homes, smells, sunlight, routines and why trying new things might help life feel a little longer. Moon recommends creating new experiences. Rizz suggests robbing a bank. Please follow Moon's advice.Then this daily comedy heads to court. A woman is seeking millions after suffering a serious injury when she fell from the stage during the St. Louis Blues' 2019 Stanley Cup celebration, sparking a debate over event security versus personal responsibility. That leads Rizz to reveal why a planned Rizz Show '90s cruise never happened: apparently corporate lawyers were slightly concerned somebody might get hammered and jump off the ship. Fun continues to be undefeated by liability insurance.The legal debate continues with a lawsuit involving a woman whose ex allegedly used an AirTag hidden under her car to track her movements. Her iPhone was supposed to warn her about an unknown AirTag traveling with her, but she says she never received the alert. The crew debates where responsibility falls when technology designed to help find lost stuff gets used by terrible people.And then we get to the flight.A 25-year-old passenger says the man seated beside her began openly “Joeing” while staring at her during a flight. She reports it to the crew, but with no open seats available, she ends up standing in the aisle before eventually having to return to her assigned seat for landing. Lern shares her own experience encountering public Joeing, Moon tries to understand how nobody intervened, and the show reaches one unanimous conclusion: Joe at home, everybody.Candles, LOL wars, childhood nostalgia, courtroom debates, creepy technology and the absolute worst possible airline seatmate — another perfectly relaxing daily comedy from The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Do It Bitch is back, and somehow a simple radio game immediately turns into a full-blown legal proceeding. Team Moon and Lern takes on King Scott and Rafe Williams as callers pick sides for a shot at Metallica, Breaking Benjamin, Turnstile and Rafe tickets — and this funny podcast discovers that naming things under pressure is apparently much harder than it sounds.First up: shoe brands. Lern needs nine in ten seconds and immediately learns how quickly your brain abandons you when a clock starts ticking. Then King Scott gets U.S. states beginning with M and briefly attempts to welcome Mexico into the union. Geography teachers everywhere just felt a disturbance in the force.But the real controversy arrives with potato chip flavors. Rafe needs six, throws out nacho cheese, and suddenly everybody becomes a snack-food attorney arguing over whether nacho cheese actually exists as a potato chip flavor. Phones come out. Evidence is presented. Yellow cards are issued. Somehow nobody gets escorted from the studio.Then this funny podcast moves into professional sports leagues, where things get even messier. Does the WWF count separately from WWE? What about the UFL? The United Hockey League? Defunct organizations? Name changes? By the end, nobody knows whether they're playing a game or arguing a case before the Supreme Court of Sports Trivia.After the dust settles, Blues broadcaster Chris Kerber joins the show to talk St. Louis Blues training camp, including the story of Hubbard general manager John Kijowski casually squeezing himself between Blues executives at the glass like he'd just been promoted to assistant GM.Kerber also explains what it's like calling preseason hockey when the roster is packed with unfamiliar names, leading to a fantastic tour through NHL pronunciation nightmares. The crew gets into Alexey Toropchenko-level linguistic gymnastics, the Petrangelo pronunciation debate, Colton Parayko and the terrifying possibility of multiple impossible names hitting the ice at the same time.There's also some perspective on just how ridiculously talented professional athletes are — even the players fans casually call “bad” — while the rest of us consider walking inside instead of using the drive-thru to be our cardio for the week.Potato chip litigation, geography failures, obscure sports leagues, Blues training camp and enough difficult hockey names to make a broadcaster fake an equipment failure — another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show where the rules are made up, the arguments are real and apparently everybody can get yellow-carded.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.

The robots are fighting back, and apparently humanity's best defense is… Frankie Lap. The crew gets into the viral humanoid robot cage fight that ended with Frankie reportedly breaking his hand, which naturally leads to questions about robot sports, robot warfare and whether we're maybe giving these things a little too much training before they inevitably decide they don't need us anymore.Then Do It Bitch returns, where simple categories become impossible the second a ten-second clock starts ticking. Shoe brands send Lern scrambling, King Scott briefly attempts to make Mexico a U.S. state, and potato chip flavors trigger an on-air legal battle over whether nacho cheese counts. By the time everyone starts arguing over the WWF, WWE, UFL and United Hockey League, the game has basically become sports trivia court with Rizz handing out yellow cards.There's plenty of celebrity chaos, too, including rock-star real names, James Hetfield talking Tony Iommi, entertainment news and drama surrounding Dolly Parton's estate. Turns out figuring out Iggy Pop's real name is almost as difficult as deciding whether a defunct wrestling organization should count in Do It Bitch.Finally, Blues broadcaster Chris Kerber joins the show to talk St. Louis Blues training camp, the incredible access fans get to the players and the story of Hubbard GM John Kijowski casually squeezing himself between Blues executives at the glass like he'd just been promoted to assistant general manager. Kerber also takes us behind the scenes of one of broadcasting's most terrifying challenges: trying to pronounce unfamiliar hockey names while the puck keeps moving and your brain quietly catches fire.Robot fights, celebrity drama, potato chip litigation, questionable geography, Blues hockey and coworkers aggressively yelling “Do It, Bitch!” at each other for concert tickets — three episodes of The Rizzuto Show proving once again that even the simplest game can become a 20-minute argument if you put enough radio people in one room.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.British Airways expanding St. Louis-to-London service with daily flights in 2027Polo off Mexican coast is among ‘the strongest storms ever' as Odalys becomes a hurricaneMaryland DoorDash customer picks up order from driver at crash scene: ‘I think that's my food right there'Woman who struck cruiser drinks urine-contaminated toilet water in attempt to alter breath test resultsWith Its 17 New Robotoilets, NYC is Experimenting With the Radical Idea of Actually Providing Public Bathrooms$167M Powerball winner arrested for fifth time — for public intoxication in Walmart parking lotSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Summer Coolers – St. Louis BluesThe St. Louis Blues enter a new era with Alex Steen replacing longtime GM Doug Armstrong and Jim Montgomery beginning his third season behind the bench. After finishing with 86 points and missing the playoffs for the third time in four years, Steen has already begun reshaping the roster. Jordan Kyrou is gone, while Connor McMichael and Mason McTavish arrive as major additions. Neil Smith and Vic Morren see some intriguing pieces—but question whether St. Louis has enough depth to be anything more than a wild-card contender.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] Alex Steen takes over as GM from Doug Armstrong as St. Louis begins a new chapter with Jim Montgomery entering his third season as head coach.[00:00:20] The Blues finish with 86 points and miss the playoffs for the third time in four seasons despite making a strong late push.[00:00:35] Most of the underlying numbers decline. St. Louis drops from 13th to 24th offensively and from 10th to 19th defensively.[00:00:50] The power play falls from 16th to 27th, while the penalty kill provides one of the few statistical improvements.[00:01:00] Steen's biggest move sends Jordan Kyrou to Washington for Connor McMichael, Milton Gastrin and a 2026 first-round pick.[00:01:15] The Blues are betting that McMichael can rediscover the form he displayed with Washington during the 2024-25 season.[00:01:25] Mason McTavish also arrives from Anaheim in exchange for two first-round picks, giving St. Louis another talented young forward with considerable upside.[00:01:40] Neil likes both McMichael and McTavish, although he also recognizes the scoring ability St. Louis surrendered by moving Kyrou.[00:01:55] The Blues add more size to the blue line by acquiring Brandon Carlo for two third-round selections.[00:02:00] RFA Dylan Holloway receives a five-year contract worth $7.75 million annually, making him another important part of the long-term core.[00:02:15] Jonatan Berggren returns on a one-year, $2 million deal after not receiving a qualifying offer.[00:02:25] Ross Johnston arrives from Anaheim on a three-year deal, bringing additional toughness after a strong season with the Ducks.[00:02:40] Dylan Dubé also joins the forward group from Calgary.[00:02:50] The Blues avoid losing many major pieces beyond Kyrou. Hunter Skinner departs for Nashville, while Justin Holl signs with Washington and Matt Luff heads to the Islanders.[00:03:00] Goaltending remains an intriguing storyline after Joel Hofer supplanted Jordan Binnington as the No. 1 last season.[00:03:15] Binnington was frequently mentioned in trade speculation around the deadline, but remaining in St. Louis gives him an opportunity for a fresh start.[00:03:25] Young players including Dalibor Dvorak and Jimmy Snuggerud could provide additional support around established forwards Robert Thomas, Jake DeBrusk and Pavel Buchnevich.[00:03:40] Vic sees an extremely fine line between St. Louis becoming a legitimate wild-card team and once again falling short.[00:03:50] Neil agrees, identifying depth as the biggest concern. Injuries exposed the roster badly last season when Montgomery simply did not have enough quality replacements.[00:04:00] The Blues fought their way to 86 points but could never quite cross the playoff line. Neil sees a similar challenge this season.St. Louis has made meaningful changes under Steen, and McMichael and McTavish give the Blues intriguing upside. But this roster still needs health, improved special teams and more depth to survive a difficult Central Division. Neil's assessment is straightforward: if everything goes right, the Blues can battle for a playoff berth—but their ceiling currently looks like a wild-card team.

Bobby and Pinder preview the Central Division heading into the 2026-27 NHL season and go team-by-team through what could once again be one of the toughest divisions in hockey. The guys break down projected lines, offseason additions and subtractions, betting odds and the biggest questions facing the Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, Utah Mammoth, St. Louis Blues, Nashville Predators, Winnipeg Jets and Chicago Blackhawks. Colorado, Dallas and Minnesota still look like heavyweights at the top, but there are plenty of interesting storylines behind them — from Utah trying to take another step, Connor Hellebuyck's uncertain future in Winnipeg, to Connor Bedard and the Blackhawks finally trying to climb out of the basement. Who wins the Central, which teams make the playoffs, who takes the biggest step forward and which team could completely fall apart this season?Video Link: https://youtu.be/XP3E41Encqw#nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal CHECK OUT OUR STUFF ⬇️BARN BURNER MERCHhttps://nationgear.ca/collections/shirts/FlamesnationBARN BURNER SHORTS https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj_bcGtvvo-cW2DHEDZ6dEO5ePDmlhZc9&si=jo8iNGxT4ImhS2Y8

In this episode of Tank Talks, host Matt Cohen sits down with Chris Pronger, Hockey Hall of Famer, Norris and Hart Trophy winner, Stanley Cup champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist, and one of the NHL's 100 greatest players. Chris takes us inside the mindset that transformed him from a booed 21-year-old in St. Louis into one of the most dominant defensemen of his generation.They break down what it really takes to bet on yourself, why delayed gratification is the secret to sustained excellence, and how Chris rebuilt his entire training protocol from the studs after already being nominated for a Norris Trophy. Chris opens up about the early-career failures that forced him to look in the mirror, the veterans who shaped him, from Brad McCrimmon to Wayne Gretzky and Al MacInnis, and the 4-pound muscle between his ears that changed everything.He also shares hard-won lessons on leadership, managing teammates with different personalities, the importance of culture in championship runs, and why the best leaders lead by example, not just by talking. From the 2007 Stanley Cup run with Anaheim to the scary commotio cordis incident in 1998 and the eye injury that ultimately ended his career, Chris delivers a raw, unfiltered look at the true cost of greatness.Whether you're an athlete, a founder, a leader, or simply someone trying to earn your way forward, Chris offers practical wisdom on resilience, identity, and the art of controlling what you can control.A big thanks to our sponsor, Moomoo CanadaThis is the kind of tooling that used to live on a Bloomberg terminal, but now it is on your phone, just a few taps away.

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.And that's where today's funny podcast begins.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.”Sure.Because elementary school children are famously discreet and would NEVER keep a running leaderboard of who visited the fart corner the most.The crew immediately identifies several flaws in this educational breakthrough, including the unfortunate student whose desk is closest to ground zero, the acoustical advantages of ripping one near a wall, and the absolute certainty that some confident kid will turn the fart corner into Madison Square Garden. Moon also relives an eighth-grade fart incident involving a plastic chair, Trisha and a level of emotional damage that apparently survived well into adulthood. The lesson? It's not the fart. It's the confidence behind the fart.Then, because apparently science had nothing more urgent to solve, the show dives into a massive flatulence study involving thousands of participants and hundreds of thousands of logged farts. Men versus women. Peak farting hours. Historical fart estimates. And yes, “anal tracking devices,” a phrase we sincerely hope never appears on the company expense report.Rafe even revisits his proposed radio game involving everyone recording their own farts so listeners can guess whose is whose. Management's continued refusal to greenlight this important broadcasting innovation remains baffling.Thankfully, St. Louis Blues broadcaster Chris Kerber joins the show to restore professionalism.That lasts approximately four seconds.Kerber weighs in on fart-corner logistics, airflow, acoustics and the important parental responsibility of teaching your children to laugh at flatulence. Then the conversation shifts to how Chris managed to get himself kicked out of a University of Louisville parents Facebook group.His crime?Suggesting that a college student who wanted to know whether anyone downstairs was watching a football game could perhaps… walk downstairs and find out.Apparently this was too radical for the safe space.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.Then listener emails take this funny podcast somewhere completely different.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?Rafe, meanwhile, wants to know whether there was a Groupon.Journalism.Another listener from Metro West Fire Protection District offers to help the crew with CPR training and car-seat installation, which somehow results in Rafe claiming he ordered a RealDoll to practice CPR. Lern immediately populates his imaginary house with Rhonda, Susan, Dolly and Reba, and now apparently Rafe hosts brunch for a collection of synthetic roommates.We're sorry too.Finally, the crew tackles a hypothetical: What if you could choose one food that your body would treat as perfectly healthy forever?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.French fries? Tater tots? Hash browns? Sweet potatoes? Russets?And Rafe delivers perhaps the most important culinary observation of the episode:A tot is basically a hash-brown marshmallow.This funny podcast has fart science, college-parent chaos, Blues hockey, listener confessions, CPR, sweaty cookies and the opening shots of another Great Potato War.We never claimed this would make you smarter.We claimed it would make your commute weirder.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. 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.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.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.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.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.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.

Nothing says “responsible morning radio” quite like starting the hour buzzing on Italian rainbow cookies and ending it by debating whether Rafe Williams belongs on Raya.Welcome to another funny show from The Rizzuto Show, where the crew begins this episode riding the aftermath of Rizz's birthday food extravaganza. Sweet Seven Layers has everybody losing their minds over traditional Italian rainbow cookies, pistachio and blackberry creations, cherry amaretto and enough sugar to make Moon openly admit he's buzzing. Throw in the pastries from Le Bon Boucher and we're basically broadcasting from inside a carbohydrate emergency.Before everyone slips into a frosting coma, Rizz drops some actual useful information: Rizz Show Night with the St. Louis Blues is coming to Enterprise Center, featuring the Blues against the Colorado Avalanche and an exclusive Rizz Show Blues jacket. Even better, a portion of the special ticket benefits Operation Food Search. Look at us briefly doing something respectable.Don't worry. It doesn't last.Sexy Time Fun Facts arrives with a legitimately groundbreaking medical story: surgeons in Vietnam successfully performed the country's first penile transplant from a brain-dead donor.And there goes the respectability.What starts as an unbelievable medical headline turns into a surprisingly thoughtful conversation about organ donation, brain death and transplant ethics. Rafe brings some firsthand perspective from witnessing organ harvesting during his previous surgical work, while Moon reflects on his own recent experience being with his father at the end of his life.Naturally, the thoughtful discussion eventually becomes questions about disclosure to future romantic partners, whether transplanted anatomy could be a different color and the phrase “secret three-way with a ghost.”We almost made it.Then the funny show tackles another vital scientific question: Is Missouri properly representing itself in America's swinging community?A ranking of all 50 states examines factors including clubs, online communities, hotels and other indicators of an active swinging lifestyle. Florida takes the top spot because Florida apparently looked at its existing reputation and decided to lean in. Missouri lands at number 20 overall, while ranking eighth for its number of physical swinger clubs.Respectable?Embarrassing?A challenge for next year?The crew isn't entirely sure, although Rafe refuses to accept the possibility that Cleveland might be out-performing St. Louis in the key-party department. Civic pride comes in many forms.From swinging, we make the completely natural transition into dating apps.Science apparently has an answer for how much you should reveal in your dating profile. Say too little and people assume you're sketchy. Overshare every trauma you've experienced since kindergarten and romantic interest drops. The sweet spot is the “Goldilocks bio”: enough personality and detail to seem interesting without making somebody feel like they've accidentally opened your therapist's case notes.Which means there's only one reasonable next step.Get Rafe on a dating app for the show.Rafe isn't particularly interested. He'd rather meet somebody naturally and “let the universe do it,” which is adorable and therefore completely unacceptable to his coworkers. Tinder, Hinge, Bumble and Raya all enter the discussion, along with stories of celebrities appearing in people's inboxes and the realization that getting Rafe approved for Raya may require more references than getting a mortgage.He apparently needs Wayne Gretzky to write two letters now: one for Canada and one for Raya.Eventually the search deteriorates into increasingly specific dating platforms, FarmersOnly, JDate, theoretical sea-captain dating and Rafe's dream of becoming an aspiring jet-ski owner searching for love.Romance is alive.It's just deeply confused.From Italian cookies and St. Louis Blues hockey to medical ethics, swinger statistics and celebrity dating apps, this episode somehow covers an enormous amount of territory without developing a single useful life skill.Exactly what you've come to expect from your favorite funny show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
