Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, it's a different movie, with a worse ending. The Pids blew another two goal lead and this time lost. We talk about it. Rabbi and Red open the show discussing the Manchester City investigation news, 115 charges and all. We highlight other smart people who have said smart things about the matter. Then we break down the 3-2 loss to LA Galaxy. Yay Donavan Phillip. Nico Hansen had a terrible game, and it had been coming. We break down how this game was different in a good way compared to the draw to Seattle. We look big picture at what this stretch could mean for the season. Then we discuss Zackory Campagnolo getting loaned to St. Louis City. It says a lot about the goalkeeper roster management. The boys share their thoughts. Mark then threads a needle on the Sayed Abu Farkhi goal celebration and how we could feel about it. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. Happy autumn. G'mar chatima tova to Rabbi and all the Jews celebrating Yom Kippur. Mark is out so Braidon Nourse from Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal joins the show. We talk about Braidon's recent news breaking. We discuss the scoreboard being replaced finally, we think. Matt does a retrospective on that and Victory Crossing. They guys react to the club signing Akol Akon. We touch on the international window and Rapids 2 ending their season. Then we analyze what went wrong against St. Louis City in the Open Cup and Seattle Sounders. Matt Wells said and did some interesting things in both games We discuss the tactics against St. Louis and the Pids nickname. We break down the real issue the Rapids have. It's not home vs road or winning vs losing. It's reacting to conceding a goal. HTHL then previews LA Galaxy. Braidon does great work. You should follow him on social and check out RMSJ. His recent Janine Sonis feature and reporting on Moldy DICK's were great. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A combination of Rams settlement and ARPA funds contributed to a $46 million surplus of funds in the St Louis City budget. St Louis Comptroller Donna Baringer joins Chris and Mike Elam with how that money is allowed to be spent. She's promoting putting 1/2 of the money in reserves while 1/2 goes to capital needs, per statute. She says this is not a good time to be borrowing for major purchases.

In this episode, the boys show some gratitude for the wonderful Nashville SC season that they're being treated to, and they bring along a thesaurus because they are seriously running out of superlatives for this tremendous team.  After watching a professional and mature destruction of Chicago, the boys review all the club records the team has eclipsed, and hey, we've already clinched a playoff spot as well!  Cristian Espinoza deserves some extra love after putting on a master class versus Chicago, and Maxwell Woledzi once again showed why he's the best defender and the best hype man in the MLS.  The whole thing has the boys comparing the team to the Great Australian Emu War of 1932, and this team are running the rest of the MLS as ragged as the Australian artillery.  Now, just because the team is flying doesn't mean there isn't danger on the horizon. Philadelphia has recently turned around their season and may be the hottest team in the league, and St. Louis City are dark horse candidates to come out of the western conference, but really, is there any team in the MLS as complete and as talented as Nashville SC?  No way!  So to relax and enjoy this victory, the boys put on some smooth beats from Jensen Sportag and relish this feeling on top of the soccer world.  Next week, it's time for revenge against Toronto, and the boys make some ambitious predictions about what to expect in the upcoming match, which will be full of Hogwarts magic.  And they drink beer.

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, it's MLS Deadline Day! We get caught up on all the transfers from the past week, official and expected. First we break down the Rafael Navarro trade to St. Louis City. There's pros and cons. We discuss Rafa's legacy with Colorado Rapids and why the Rapids Math makes sense even if it's a tough decision. There's a missing piece of information given the contract extension negotiations broke down. We try to get to the bottom of this decision, which seemed unthinkable a week ago. Sayed Abu Farkhi is official. Rabbi thinks this is a sign he's be a center forward. Red did his research on Morgan Whittaker. And we try to have some good thoughts on Ibrahim Sadiq. There's some big picture takeaways about this window, how it ended, and what the winter transfer window will look like. Then we finally discuss the Rocky Mountain Cup. For the first time ever, the Pids have won it three years in a row. RSL were so bad. We have thoughts on Pablo Mastroeni and Diego Luna. We talk about the news about every MLS team returning to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Also KSE bought the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. We think this a bad sign for the Rapids and proves what we've known for years. Lastly, we preview Columbus Crew and take some listener questions. #AskHTHL Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The MLS transfer window is in its final days, and there's plenty to sort through. David Gass, Tom Bogert and Matt Doyle break down St. Louis City's record move for Rafael Navarro, what's next for Colorado and the latest moves around MLS. Plus, Inter Miami's coaching change, RSL's struggles and a wild weekend across the league, from San Diego and Minnesota to another big performance from Cavan Sullivan.0:00 Intro5:06 MLS Transfer Record for Rafa Navarro15:35 St. Louis Expectations Moving Forward 19:23 Colorado's Rebuild27:29 RSL's Death Spiral32:14 Inter Miami's New Coach36:21 Jack McGlynn & Luca Bombino Head to Stoke46:57 LAFC's Big Decision54:01 Daniel Gazdag to New England58:13 Santiago Rodríguez to Columbus1:03:54 The Best Things We Saw1:09:06 Cavan Sullivan and Philly Keep Rolling1:13:33 More Weekend Notes & More Transfer NewsFor the sharpest coverage of American soccer, we've got you covered:https://linktr.ee/soccerwisehq

Pete Crow-Armstrong is on an absolutely ridiculous heater, and Cubs fans are loving every second of it. Everyone else? Not so much. This week, the Team of Rivals crew tackles the men you love to hate — from PCA and Yadier Molina to Dodgers owner Mark Walter and Alexander Isak. We get into why PCA has quickly become the kind of player opposing fans can't stand but would absolutely love to have on their own team, and whether his Mets-to-Cubs journey is turning into one of the worst organizational misses in recent memory. Then there's Mark Walter and the Dodgers, including the questions surrounding the team's broadcasting arrangement, ownership, MLB's role in approving it, and Shohei Ohtani's unusual contract situation. On the soccer side, we dig into Alexander Isak's ugly Newcastle exit, whether he's really a fit for Liverpool, and the growing comparison between Isak and Kyle Tucker. Meanwhile, St. Louis City has gone from the bottom of the table to an unbeaten run — despite selling two of its best players — and Newcastle has somehow opened the Premier League season with four points after everyone seemingly expected disaster. Plus: VAR frustration, the Bears' ongoing stadium saga, fútbol fantasy, and the most perfectly forgotten fifth suspect imaginable. It's another episode of Team of Rivals (and apparently At the Park STL, too).

In the club's final road game of this extended away residency, FC Dallas grabs a point at the last possible moment to draw 3-3 against St. Louis City. Sam, Steve, and Owen Newkirk talk through a gritty draw that feels like a win, another strong performance from Dallas' defensive MVP, and what the on-field performances of two players tells us about how Dallas should shop ahead of this week's transfer deadline closure. This program originally aired on the FC Dallas Radio Network on August 30th, 2026. 

In hour 1 of The Mark Reardon Show, Mark is joined by Sean Flower, Mayor of Eureka, and Jeff Rainford, Principal at Rainford & Associates and former Chief of Staff to Mayor Slay, for the Reardon Roundtable. The panel opens with a weather forecast update from Dave Murray, highlighting an upcoming heat wave before diving into pressing regional issues. They discuss the ongoing conflict and lawsuit over St. Louis City police pay and funding, debating state control versus local control and the challenges of city budget sustainability. The conversation shifts to police surveillance technology, where Mayor Flower defends the effectiveness of Flock cameras in solving local crimes while Jeff Rainford addresses broader public skepticism toward big tech. Finally, the group touches on federal political exhaustion, foreign policy concerns, upcoming midterm election dynamics, the rebranding of Six Flags to Mid America Adventure, and the St. Louis Cardinals' current struggles. In hour 2, Sue hosts, "Sue's News" where she discusses the latest trending entertainment news, this day in history, the random fact of the day and more. Mark is joined by film critic Paul Hall, owner of Common Guy's Film Reviews, to discuss the latest movie releases, streaming titles, and entertainment news.

They discuss other theater entries including Idiots and the Christian rock documentary Beyond Belief, as well as new Netflix offerings like the thriller The Whisper Man and the three-part true-crime series Death of the Pastor's Wife. Additionally, they reflect on the recent passing of country icon Dolly Parton, highlighting her classic film 9 to 5 becoming available to stream on Prime Video. Mark is later joined by Scott Warmann, Cardinals TV host, to discuss the recent struggles of the St. Louis Cardinals as they enter the dog days of late August. Scott and the team break down the team's ongoing injury woes, including Blaze Jordan's recent trip to the IL, the return of Thomas Saggese, and the severe strain put on the bullpen due to short starts from the rotation. They examine how manager Oliver Marmol and the front office are managing young players and navigating pitch-count limits for starters like Kyle Leahy. Additionally, Scott weighs in on the intense National League Rookie of the Year race between Cardinals second baseman JJ Wetherholt and Cincinnati Reds infielder Sal Stewart, highlighting Wetherholt's standout defensive metrics. In hour 3, Mark is joined by Chris Smith, author of My Fatal First Date: A True Life Story of Survival, Tragedy, Inspiration, Triumph, and Faith, to discuss his remarkable journey of recovery after surviving a gunshot wound to the head five years ago. Chris recounts the tragic events of that night, his 0% predicted chance of recovery, and the spiritual experience that sustained him through an induced coma. He details his ongoing physical progress, his return to playing music with his band No Exit Wound, and his advocacy work for innovative medical technologies like WashU's IpsiHand and mesenchymal stem cell therapies. Additionally, Chris shares updates on upcoming documentary and feature film projects about his life and offers words of faith and resilience. Mark is later joined by Tim Sommer, music journalist, former record executive, and contributor to Rock and Roll Globe, to discuss the legacies of iconic entertainment figures and share anecdotes from his career. Tim reflects on the universal affection for Dolly Parton following her passing, highlighting her unmatched songwriting talent, sharp business acumen, and cross-cultural appeal. They also examine Tim Curry's impact in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, noting how his performance offered a sense of community and self-expression for outcast youth before the age of the internet. Finally, Tim discusses his new boo ...

St Louis Magazine writer Elizabeth Stump joins Chris and Amy. She shares the story of a Wash U student who found herself in a crazy tangle of jurisdictions between St. Louis City, County, and Wash U police following a car accident.

One game remains in FC Dallas' road odyssey, and it's a doozy as they travel to St. Louis City in a Western Conference six pointer. Sam, Garrett, and Steve break down what Dallas' midfield might look like with the rest of the eleven settled, talk through a white hot St. Louis squad, and break down the critical matchup that Dallas will need to win to get all three points in the Gateway City. 

St. Louis leadership and mainstream media outlets are quietly reviving proposals for a city-county merger under the guise of "reentry."

Longtime St Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Bill McClellan joins Chris and Amy in-studio. He talks about the evolution of the newspaper business. He talks about interviewing Officer Lucas Roethlisberger, who has been shot 2 times while on duty. Pay, benefits and the dangers of the job are discussed. 'The Mayor meant well,' says McClellan about Cara Spencer attending a late officer's funeral, but disagrees with her conversation about pay. 'Tracy was way out of line,' by mischaracterizing Spencer's apology, says McClellan.

The Philadelphia Union remain unbeaten through interim head coach Ryan Richter's first six MLS games, as the Union and Austin played to a 1-1 draw at Q2 Stadium. Todd is joined by Evan Konigsberg to discuss the game and topics such as Neil Pierre's strong defensive performance, Ryan Richter's first six games in MLS, and Richter using the same starting XI against Austin that faced Inter Miami three days ago. Finally, Todd talks about the Blunder of the Week, which involves Crew Alexandra and Northampton Town.

Apparently one Friday show wasn't chaotic enough, so this episode brings together sports-radio confusion, Banana Ball insanity, celebrity disasters, '90s music nostalgia, Taylor Swift fandom, and an emotional goodbye that briefly forces The Rizzuto Show to experience genuine human feelings. Gross. The crew is coming off its takeover of The Fast Lane, where St. Louis sports-radio listeners turned on their radios expecting serious sports analysis and instead found… us. Confused texts start rolling in, Moon commits the apparently unforgivable crime of discussing soccer, and everyone discovers that sports-talk fans approach radio hosts with roughly the same restraint they bring to yelling at referees.From there, we head to Busch Stadium for the Savannah Bananas and the wonderfully ridiculous world of Banana Ball. No bunting. Batters can steal first. Ball four turns into a sprint. Fans can record an out by catching a foul ball. There's a Golden Batter. There are bizarre tiebreakers. Basically, somebody looked at baseball and asked, “What if this moved faster and people actually had fun?”That naturally sends us down the Steve Bartman rabbit hole, where we discover the infamous baseball was eventually purchased, publicly blown up and—because humanity had apparently not done enough—its essence was incorporated into pasta sauce. Sports fans remain completely normal.We also get into Rizz's upcoming first trip to Buc-ee's, the Gathering of the Juggalos, a drug bust involving a man with the incredibly discreet nickname Blunt Man, speeding, road rage and those tiny towns where the speed limit suddenly drops just in time for a police officer to welcome you personally.Then nostalgia attacks.A forgotten Rollins Band song sends Rizz straight back to the '90s, MTV and Beavis and Butt-Head, leading to an appreciation of Henry Rollins as perhaps the only man capable of delivering inspirational wisdom while looking permanently furious about it. Rafe even discovers the perfect soundtrack for the closet he apparently cries in.Once Crap on Celebrities gets rolling, things become significantly more expensive and legally complicated. Foo Fighters are joining AC/DC for a huge St. Louis show, which is incredible news right up until everyone remembers they'll eventually have to escape the parking lot. The crew also digs into the Michael Jackson biopic sequel, developments surrounding the Tupac murder case and reported Diddy allegations, questions surrounding changes to Biggie's mother's will, and Dane Cook revisiting the brutal discovery that his own brother embezzled millions from him.Nothing says family like alleged financial crimes.There's also God of War casting drama involving Dave Bautista, a public service announcement about a movie Moon thinks is absolute garbage, and a rundown of famous actors who reportedly couldn't stand each other while filming some of Hollywood's most beloved romances. Turns out all that incredible on-screen chemistry might occasionally just be two attractive people professionally suppressing rage.And then Courtney Diamond — aka Eight Ball — comes home.The former Rizzuto Show intern joins the crew ahead of the final TaylorMade tribute to Taylor Swift show, closing a chapter that grew into 45 performances across 28 cities. Courtney talks about knowing when it was time to end TaylorMade, remembering the nerves surrounding the first show and making sure the project went out while everyone involved still loved what they were doing.Things get dangerously sincere when Courtney reflects on her time working with the show and tells Rizz that one of the lessons she carried with her was watching him treat people well and thank her for her work every day as an intern.Don't worry. Everyone immediately starts making jokes before Rizz can develop an emotion.Courtney also explains how a die-hard Def Leppard and '80s hair-metal fan became a massive Taylor Swift fan, why Swift's songwriting won her over and where even a dedicated Swiftie draws the line when it comes to merch drops, album variants and the Taylor Swift business machine.Then we enter the terrifying world of parasocial fandom.The crew debates fans driving 12 hours just to stand outside a celebrity wedding, Courtney admits to incorporating some Def Leppard sightseeing into her honeymoon, and even one of the biggest Swifties we know arrives at an important conclusion:Some Swifties need to chill.Finally, Courtney looks ahead to the emotional final TaylorMade performance and talks about what it feels like to deliberately close something she's spent years building. She doesn't know exactly what comes next—and for once, nobody needs to turn that into a five-year plan.It's sports, weird news, celebrity gossip, music memories, St. Louis chaos, Taylor Swift, Juggalos, Banana Ball, family betrayals, emotional farewells and enough wildly unnecessary side conversations to remind everyone why The Rizzuto Show remains your daily comedy destination.Basically, we laughed, we learned, we almost had feelings, and somewhere along the way Blunt Man got arrested.Another productive 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.St. Louis City considers demolition of fire-damaged church, home to non-profit's skate parkFour arrested on drug charges tied to Gathering of the Juggalos near Macks CreekMargaret Qualley Just Wore Those Controversial Chanel Shoes for The Dog Stars PremiereSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For the Glory KC is back with the 191st episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City had another terrible weekend, but before we get to the on-field shenanigans, we have to talk about Manu Garcia. After the loss to the Colorado Rapids, the KC Soccer Journal got a surprisingly candid quote out of manager Rapha Wicky on why Manu Garcia wasn't playing.“Manu was available for selection, but we had some discussions with him about his future in recent days, and so I decided it was best not to involve him in the game tonight,” said Wicky. “That's all I can say. Everything else I refer to David [Lee].”Sheena and I work through all the feelings around this move. Plus, some fan reactions. Does it make sense? Could it actually be a good thing? We talk through all the sides. And not only is he potentially leaving, but a landing spot has emerged overnight in Greece at his old club Aris.Of course, we also had to talk about the 2-0 loss to the Rapids. As well as some more positive news around Graham Zusi's return, an Andre Luiz update and a potentially big front office hire for Sporting KC. Sheena also picks on poor Ethan Bartlow as he heads out the door. Nobody tell him!The KC Current continued their road struggles on Friday night in a 2-1 loss to Gotham FC. After taking an early lead, the team fell apart. They had a moment or two, but the New Jersey side was the better team. Sheena and I discuss how VAR handled key moments, lineup choices, including Lorena not starting, team health and more. Plus, Temwa Chawinga and Malawi's amazing World Cup qualification!In the Digital Crawl, we hit a few more topics:SKC IIBig MLS movesMessi and Ronaldo both retiring?Here is a rundown of sections and start times:Intro - 0:00Sporting KC - 4:45KC Current - 1:06:53Digital Crawl - 1:21:52Upcoming GamesSporting KC vs. St. Louis City, WED, August 19th at 7:00PM CSTSKC II @ LAFC 2, THUR, August 20th at 9:00PMKC Current vs. Seattle Reign, SAT, August 22nd at 5:30PMSporting KC @ Atlanta United, SUN, August 23rd at 6:00PM (Wooden Spoon Battle)SKC II @ Tacoma Defiance, MON, August 24th at 9:00PMAs a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled.com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

Historian Joe Sonderman has written several books, including 'This Day in St Louis History: The Famous, Infamous and Everything in Between.' He joins Chris and Amy to mark the 150th anniversary of the split between St Louis City and County. Several attempts have been made to re-unify the City and County in the last century, says Sonderman. All have failed.

Marc and Kim cover St. Louis County's budget problems, a new police drone program and a multi-agency crime crackdown in St. Louis City. Nicole Murray joins with the latest business and market headlines, while the hour also covers Michele Tafoya's Minnesota Senate campaign, identity politics, California's media merger fight and continued concerns over Flock cameras and privacy. The hour wraps with In Other News.

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. Holding The High Line is back to normal. It's the week of the MLS All-Star Game and this year we actually care. The guys recap the win over San Diego FC. It was an interesting tactical game, though it looks like a stalemate between two immovable objects. Should out to Kosi Thompson and Loïc Williams. Then we look at the loss to St. Louis CITY. Another Rob Holding DOGSO red card was deserved. The Pids almost held on for a draw down a man. Rabbi and Red profile Youssef Maziz after the Tom Bogert La Bomba. We are encouraged by what we know about the French attacking midfielder. But are there some red flags? Also Matt explains the Yan Diomande controversy and why it's misleading and you should calm down. Lastly, we preview Austin FC on Saturday. It's basically a must win.
