Podcast appearances and mentions of Mark Wahlberg

Send us Fan MailToday's show is going to be a little different. Usually, I interview professionals who are law enforcement, military, or victims of crimes. Today, I will interview a man who was a criminal. This is a story of second chances and what can be accomplished after making a mistake.Today on the show, I have Owen Hanson, whose life story was featured in the Mark Wahlberg production documentary, Cocaine Quarterback, available on Amazon Prime. Owen is a California kid whose mother left him and his father at a young age. He grew up playing volleyball and earned a scholarship to play at the University of Southern California. In his sophomore year, he was essentially cut from the team. His coach told him to get bigger and improve his vertical leap. So, Owen worked out six days a week, twice a week, and made it as a walk-on to the football team. He also took performance-enhancing drugs in his quest to become stronger and faster. This kid, who came from a modest middle-class broken home, was now partying with rock stars and other celebrities. He was also the team's and campus's drug dealer. After graduation, he wound up working as a bookie, money launderer, and associate with a Mexican drug cartel. At one point, he was making over a million dollars a day until it all came crashing down on him. He was tried and sentenced to 21 years in federal prison. Through a cooperation agreement with the Australian government, he was released after nine years. While he was in prison, he started a frozen protein product that he is now selling as a free man. Owen made a mistake, paid the price, and is now reinventing himself. He is proof that sometimes all someone needs is a second chance. In today's episode, we discuss:·      Having his mom abandon him as a young boy.·      Your route to USC via volleyball and feeling out of place with the rich kids in his school.·      Dealing illegal drugs in college.·      The availability of powder cocaine at USC in the early 2000s.·      Being benched his sophomore year in college volleyball.·      Becoming a walk-on for the football team. ·      Being the team's drug dealer, getting the drugs at the veterinarian's office in Tijuana.·      Living the rock and roll lifestyle as a college football player.·      How he got involved with a Mexican drug cartel.·      Making prison frozen protein.·      Does he ever look over your shoulder, thinking a cartel hitman might come after him?Head on over to Owen's website to learn more about his story!Head on over to my website! What's the craziest thing you saw when you were a cop?My first week on the job, a guy running at me with a butcher knife.

Owen Hanson went from a disciplined kid in Redondo Beach to a USC walk-on football player surrounded by celebrities, pro athletes, and power — before one bad decision became the rush he chased for years. In this raw conversation with Randall Kaplan, Owen reveals the true story behind **Netflix's The Cocaine Quarterback**, his rise from campus hustles to a global drug and gambling operation, his connection to the Sinaloa cartel, and the prison sentence that forced him to rebuild his life.Owen Hanson's story is not just a crime story — it is a story about ambition, insecurity, adrenaline, ego, consequences, and redemption.Randall Kaplan sits down with Owen for a gripping Part 1 conversation that begins with Owen's childhood in Redondo Beach, including his father's strict discipline, his parents' separation, and the early emotional wounds that shaped his identity. Owen opens up about feeling abandoned, learning not to cry, and channeling pain into sports, competition, and survival.From there, the conversation moves into Owen's earliest signs of entrepreneurial instinct — including a childhood gambling hustle with quarters and lunch bets — before tracing how those same instincts later became dangerous when mixed with money, status, and the need to belong.The episode also dives into Owen's rise at USC, where he became a walk-on football player during one of the most iconic eras in college football. Surrounded by celebrities, athletes, parties, and status, Owen explains how access became power — and how that power slowly turned into a criminal network.Randall and Owen then unpack the expansion from campus dealing to a sports betting business, then to international money movement, cartel connections, Australia, cocaine, laundering schemes, and the moment everything began closing in.Timestamps00:00 - The moment Owen realized he was in too deep00:42 - How a USC athlete became connected to the Sinaloa cartel01:52 - The childhood wound Owen says shaped everything07:00 - The 11-year-old hustle that revealed his future instincts10:54 - The line between strategy and manipulation16:47 - The USC setback that sent Owen to Tijuana21:08 - The first lie that gave him the rush he chased for years23:16 - How Owen became the only non-scholarship player to make the USC football team25:11 - Inside the USC football celebrity machine36:16 - The gambling customer who changed Owen's life forever42:38 - The million-dollar-a-day offer that pulled him overseas1:36:39 - How prison became the beginning of Owen's redemptionAbout Owen HansonOwen Hanson is a former USC athlete, entrepreneur, public speaker, and the subject of the Netflix documentary “The Cocaine Quarterback”, produced by Mark Wahlberg. After walking on to the USC football team during one of the most iconic eras in college football, Owen's life took a dramatic turn as he became involved in illegal sports gambling, drug trafficking, and cartel-linked money movement.He was ultimately sentenced to 21 years in federal prison and served 10 years before being released early. Today, Owen speaks publicly about the consequences of his choices, the psychology of addiction to risk and status, and the difficult path toward accountability, growth, and redemption.About Randall KaplanRandall Kaplan is a serial entrepreneur, venture capitalist, professional coach, and the host of In Search of Excellence.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast host Ryan Abraham welcomes special guest Owen Hanson into the studio, the former USC volleyball and football player that turned into an international drug dealer. Hanson's incredible story is chronicled in Mark Wahlberg's Emmy-award winning docuseries "Cocaine Quarterback," available on Prime Video.Hanson talks about his humble beginnings as a Redondo Beach surf kid that was highly recruited as a volleyball player and ended up at his dream school, USC. From there he walked-on to the Trojan football team, despite have never played a down of football in his life, and integrated himself into the program, winning a couple of national championship rings and rubbing elbows with the celebrities that surrounded the program back in the Pete Carroll era.Hustling his way in real estate, bookmaking and eventually drug trafficking and money laundering for a Mexican cartel, Hanson made fast cash and got caught in the fast lane, partying all over the globe. He was eventually arrested, served time in federal prison and now tells his story of redemption through his book "The California Kid" and the Cocaine Quarterback docuseries. He even started a protein ice cream business called California Ice Protein while he was incarcerated.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Make sure you check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠USCFootball.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.

Sacrilegious Sunday is back, and this one goes from Hollywood acting debates to full-blown current-events chaos.Chino, Homeboy, and the crew open with the eternal question: Denzel Washington vs. Will Smith, one-take greatness, Training Day, Malcolm X, Glory, After Earth, Mark Wahlberg, and why some actors have magic while others just memorize the damn script.Then the show swerves into the news: Charlie Kirk free-speech fallout, people getting fired or arrested over social media posts, First Amendment lawsuits, settlements, and why everyone suddenly remembers free speech when the consequences start costing real money.From there, the military-veteran segment kicks in hard: veteran mental health, DD-214 life, military trauma, civilian coworkers, social anxiety, sleep deprivation, CPAP survival, and the secret inner violence of trying to complete a grocery list without losing your soul.Then it gets political: retired military speech rights, Pete Hegseth, UCMJ threats, military pensions, Mark Kelly, illegal orders, and whether retired service members still get to speak like citizens or get treated like property of the government forever.And because the country apparently woke up and chose “what the hell is this?” the crew digs into the viral claim that Congress is trying to “merge” the U.S. military with the IDF. Is it literally one combined military? No. Is the 2027 NDAA pushing deeper U.S.-Israel defense technology, weapons industry, cyber, drone, quantum, and military-industrial integration? Yeah, and that still deserves every side-eye in the room.Also: deployment cheating, Jody energy, Ring cameras, girlfriends making terrible choices, and the most awkward “get out of my house” moment ever caught on camera.This episode hits:Denzel Washington vs Will SmithCharlie Kirk free speech settlementsFirst Amendment hypocrisyVeterans and civilian lifePete Hegseth and retired military speechUCMJ and military pensionsMark Kelly illegal orders controversyU.S. Israel military integration2027 NDAAIDF, AIPAC, defense tech, cyber warfareDeployment cheating and Jody storiesChino & Homeboy podcast chaosLike, comment, subscribe, and tell us which part made you laugh, rage, or question the structural integrity of this country.TIMECODES00:00 Intro, Sacrilegious Sunday begins00:46 Denzel Washington, improv, and one-take greatness14:44 Mark Wahlberg, Two Guns, Shooter, Fear, and The Departed18:37 The avocado/testicle detour, because of course23:56 Charlie Kirk posts, free speech, firings, arrests, and settlements28:02 Military segment begins28:40 Veteran life, DD-214 reality, trauma, and civilian coworkers31:27 Disabled vets, hearing loss, social anxiety, and threat assessment42:52 Retired military free speech, UCMJ, Pete Hegseth, pensions49:10 Viral claim: Is the U.S. military merging with the IDF?58:27 Deployment cheating, Jody story, girlfriend camera disaster01:03:02 “Third time she cheated”, trust, proof, and why people stay01:09:13 The other guy finds out whose house it really is

After hearing Russell Crowe aggressively managing fans in Paris, Ricki and Tim started chatting about celebrity autographs and the famous people they’ve met over the years. Tim revealed a childhood cricket hero once swore at him while he was innocently collecting signatures at the SCG, which honestly still sounds traumatic. Meanwhile Ricki admitted she used to lurk outside Broncos games like a tiny celebrity stalker and even has fans with her signature tattooed on their bodies. Plus there were stories involving John Farnham signing cassettes at nightclubs, Mark Wahlberg autograph ambushes and Tim getting paid cash in yellow envelopes for fake DJing at Crown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From USC walk-on to cartel middleman to federal inmate rebuilding his life one project at a time, this episode with Owen Hanson feels less like a crime story and more like a masterclass in what happens when ambition runs without guardrails.Known as “The California Kid” and “The Cocaine Quarterback,” Owen shares how a relentless drive for success first showed up on the football field at USC before spiraling into steroid use, smuggling, and eventually laundering millions in drug money tied to the cartel. What started with crossing the border to move steroids from Mexico evolved into a world of massive debt, high stakes pressure, and organized crime that ultimately led to a federal RICO indictment and a 21-year prison sentence in 2015.But this conversation isn't just about the rise and fall. It's about what happened after the collapse.While incarcerated, Owen refused to let prison become dead time. Instead, he turned it into a strange kind of laboratory for reinvention, earning his master's degree, writing a book, creating his business, Ice Protein, and even starring in a docuseries produced with Mark Wahlberg. Owen's story is chaotic, unbelievable, and at times cinematic, but underneath all of it is a deeper message: your lowest point does not have to be wasted time. Sometimes the same intensity that destroys a life can also rebuild one.Connect with Owen on InstagramDM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen AD FREE & workout with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

In hour two, Hoch, Crowder, and Appel discuss the Mark Wahlberg soccer movie Balls Up on Netflix, and Crowder eats popsicles in his bed. The betting line for Cavs vs Knicks Game 1 of the ECF and Game 2 of the WCF. Local 10 Sports Anchor Clay Ferraro joins the program to talk about both the NBA Conference Finals and the outcome of Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, his takeaways on the Miami Dolphins' tough schedule this upcoming season, which Dolphins Draft pick he is most excited for, OTAs, and the Inter Miami situation with the players and the support groups.

This episode celebrates the 30th anniversary of Fear, a psychological thriller that turned Mark Wahlberg from rapper/Calvin Klein model to the boyfriend parents hoped to keep their daughters away from. We revisit the film's premise, its release climate in the mid-90s, and why Fear remains a touchstone in psychological thrillers. We set the stage by outlining the stakes, the suburban setting that doubles as a trap, and what fans new and old still find shocking. In addition, we highlight the ensemble that makes Fear work on every level. We analyze Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon's chemistry and character arc, and spotlight Alyssa Milano, Amy Brenneman, and William Petersen's performances and how their characters amplify the thriller's dynamics. We also take a look at the film's themes, which unpack obsession, power dynamics, gaslighting, and the unpredictable push-pull of attraction and danger. This episode connects the on-screen psychology to broader thriller tropes and what makes Fear creep under the skin.Joining in for this discussion is Mark J. Parker of the Release Date Rewind podcast who is more than ready to take a look back at this late ‘90s classic. Links for Guests: Release Date RewindWhere To Watch Fear

Point Fest is almost here, and the crew is fully locked into concert-season chaos. The gang talks meet-and-greets, side stages, local bands, and the Road to Point Fest competition — including an accidental on-air mix-up that somehow made things even more Rizz Show-y. Trevor May & The Nomads get some love, Sideshow gets their rightful victory lap, and everyone agrees Highland, Illinois may secretly be manufacturing musicians in a lab somewhere.Then things take a surprisingly philosophical turn when the show debates whether adults are actually cooler now than they were in high school. What starts as a simple question becomes a full therapy session involving acne glow-ups, fake confidence, bus-seat politics, floating between social groups, and why being a jerk in high school somehow counted as “cool.” Rafe drops accidental wisdom, Lern gets deep about authenticity, and King Scott proudly explains that he still doesn't get invited to parties… but now at least he hears about them. Growth. Beautiful growth.The conversation somehow escalates into midlife-crisis accusations after truck purchases, homeowner flexes, and dangling accessories become evidence in the court of Cool Dad Law. Which honestly makes this the exact kind of daily podcast people come here for: emotionally unstable grown adults trying to justify their hobbies while roasting each other into dust. That's friendship, baby.In Crap on Celebrities, the gang covers Tool reportedly being approached before U2 for the Las Vegas Sphere, celebrity “Game of Thrones politics,” and why Tool fans may need to start saving money immediately. There's also Amazon TV announcements, Fallout casting news, Reacher updates, and an absolutely brutal listen to Vince Neil performing on American Idol alongside Carrie Underwood. Nobody survives that audio clip emotionally. Nobody.The crew also dives into celebrity jail history including Martha Stewart, Robert Downey Jr., Tim Allen, Lindsay Lohan, Khloe Kardashian, Wesley Snipes, Mark Wahlberg, and Matthew McConaughey's legendary naked bongos incident. Which somehow becomes one of the most relatable celebrity stories discussed all morning. That sentence alone should tell you exactly what kind of daily podcast this is.And because this show refuses to stay on topic for more than six seconds, the episode closes with an unexpected Steve Winwood appreciation session complete with singalongs, nostalgia, and the now-unforgettable lyric: “Bake me a pie of love.” Sorry in advance for that getting stuck in your head forever.If you love music news, hilarious fails, celebrity chaos, sarcastic humor, St. Louis energy, and a daily podcast that sounds like your funniest friends trapped in a group chat with microphones, welcome home.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/RizzShowSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us Fan MailA movie about condoms, cocaine, and the World Cup should be a layup for a wild studio comedy. Balls Up somehow turns that setup into a string of half-formed bits, missing reactions, and scenes that refuse to escalate. So we did what we do best: hate watched it closely and pulled it apart like a broken engine.We talk through why the central buddy comedy dynamic never locks in, how Mark Wahlberg looks stranded without a co-star who can elevate the rhythm, and why “straight man” only works when the straight man is still funny. We dig into the biggest script problems: characters who change traits scene to scene, stakes that get introduced then ignored, and jokes that explain themselves instead of landing. Along the way we call out the few moments that actually spark, like the dialysis callback, the Larry David translator voice, the karaoke choice, and the one truly committed set piece involving a vampire fish and a very unlucky pee break.After the movie autopsy, we pivot to what we've been enjoying lately, including long-form YouTube essays that dissect the MrBeast machine, plus Tony's current comfort watch with the American Gladiators reboot. We also tease our next watch, Marty Supreme, and briefly vent about how modern reboots like Frasier can still have great actors but fail on writing.If you laughed, cringed, or disagreed with our takes, subscribe, share the episode, and leave a review, then tell us the one change you'd make to fix Balls Up.Written Lovingly by AIBe our friend!Dan: @shakybaconTony: @tonydczechAnd follow the podcast on IG: @hatewatchingDAT

Directed by Peter Farrelly, Balls Up is the action comedy film starring Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser. Marketing executives Brad (Mark Wahlberg) and Elijah (Paul Walter Hauser) go “balls out” and pitch a bold full‑coverage condom sponsorship with the World Cup. After their drunken celebration in Brazil sparks a global scandal, they must outrun furious fans, criminals, and power-hungry officials to salvage their careers and make it home alive. We break down all things soccer / football madness, old-school comedy, and the appeal of "full coverage".

From Funny to Painful FAST | Balls Up Review Full review on all streaming platforms! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mostly-low-budget-movie-reviews-with-clarence/id1576804444 https://open.spotify.com/show/7xVJ2hT9tAle9fqz3iomCP?si=X14c_Hp4RbuPpXyqa4HFzw Balls Up had potential… but fumbles hard. Outside of a funny opening and a few laughs from Sacha Baron Cohen, this buddy comedy is mostly dated jokes, weak chemistry, and a messy story. Mark Wahlberg does his usual thing—but there's just nothing here to elevate. Easy skip. #BallsUp #MovieReview #MarkWahlberg #PrimeVideo #MovieReactions

Arrested and subsequently released the duo find themselves to be hunted by all of Brazil and ultimately end up in the compound of the countries leading drug cartel leader. Tune into find out what Andrew and Ted thought of this action / comedy.

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy fly solo on most of the movies this week, but they still have nine titles to talk about. Lena Headey discovers she may have created the bullet that killed her son (Ballistic). A strange friendship develops between two disparate young men when one tries to maybe stop the other from committing a school shooting (Our Hero, Balthazar). Barbie Ferreira plays a music critic who gets involved with the band she is covering (Mile End Kicks). The latest comedy from Peter Farrelly has Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser as the creators of a very unusual condom (Balls Up). Keanu Reeves is a Hollywood star trying to prevent an embarrassing video from getting out (Outcome). There's a documentary about the creator of Saturday Night Live (Lorne). Bob Odenkirk is in action mode again taking on a whole town in the latest from Ben Wheatley (Normal). Steven Soderbergh's latest has Ian McKellen as an artist who hires a forger to finish his paintings (The Christophers). Finally, the director of Evil Dead Rise gets his name above the familiar title of his even more familiar horror film.

Bob Odenkirk playing a small-town interim sheriff squaring off against the Yakuza is not a sentence that should make sense, let alone sell a movie. It sounds like a dare, or the kind of idea you giggle at before moving on. And yet, “Normal” takes that slightly absurd premise and treats it with just enough sincerity, grit, and tonal whiplash to make you lean in instead of check out (read our review).The film, starring Bob Odenkirk (“Better Call Saul,” “Nobody”) and written by Derek Kolstad— the screenwriting architect behind all the “John Wick” films— follows a small-town sheriff named Ulysses who finds himself pulled into a spiraling situation involving organized crime, buried history, and a small, quiet town that's about to get a lot louder.READ MORE: ‘Balls Up': Mark Wahlberg, Paul Walter Hauser and Peter Farrelly Go All-In On R-Rated Chaos, ‘Transformers,' ‘Resident Evil', ‘I Play Rocky,' Marvel and More [The Discourse Podcast]It works because “Normal” doesn't behave like a single movie. It slyly shapeshifts. A dry, slightly offbeat character piece suddenly turns tense and violent, then veers into dark comedy, a thriller, and back again. The movie wants you to feel those shifts, to adjust in real time, preferably with a crowd that's hooting and hollering right alongside you.

The comedy “Balls Up” isn't messing around. Yes, the title is a dick joke. The plot is a dick joke. And yes, the script is packed with dick jokes. It's as immature and as dumb as they come, and yet, it oddly works because it just commits so hard and earnestly to the bit. Directed by Peter Farrelly—who knows a thing or two about immature, purile comedies with lots of dick jokes like “Dumb and Dumber,” “There'sSomething About Mary,” etc. — “Balls Up” does not ease you into its insanity. It sprints straight at you with it and keeps building, stacking absurdity on top of absurdity, until it becomes this weirdly impressive feat of endurance. And thanks to the sure hands of its director and stars, it somehow works.The film follows two condom marketing executives/salespeople, Brad (Mark Wahlberg) and Elijah (Paul Walter Hauser), who pitch a bold full‑coverage condom sponsorship with the World Cup. After their drunken antics in Brazil spark a global scandal, they must outrun furious fans, criminals, and power-hungry officials to salvage their careers and make it home alive.On this episode of The Discourse, Mike DeAngelo is joined by Mark Wahlberg, Paul Walter Hauser, and director Peter Farrelly (“Green Book”) to break down how you even begin to make a movie like this, why commitment is everything in comedy, and how something this dumb can actually be smart.

What do frat boys, nepo babies and the Super Bowl have in common? Prediction markets. Wall Street Journal investigative reporter Katherine Long tells us how information from Jeff Bezos's stepson sparked a bet worth nearly a million dollars, and how a rumor loosely tied to Mark Wahlberg's daughter sent $24 million into a single market. And why college kids are betting in the first place. Kalshi and Polymarket have been quietly making themselves at home on college campuses, paying fraternities for new sign-ups, handing out branded beer pong sets, and recruiting influencers to spread the word. The pitch to students: this is just a fun way to make money off what you already know. With over $10 billion in monthly trading volume and almost no regulatory oversight, Polymarket and Kalshi are no longer a niche corner of the internet.

This week on the Kibbe & Friends Show, Rob Kibbe, Justin “CornDog” Cornette, and Bernie “Broke Wing” McPartland revisit one of their favorite comedy movie reviews — The Other Guys starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. Originally featured back in Episode 290, the film remains a perfect blend of absurd comedy and automotive moments, highlighted by the unforgettable red Prius police car and the completely dysfunctional detective duo trying to live up to the legend of the “real” hero cops. The crew revisits the movie's most memorable scenes, quotes, and ridiculous moments while breaking down why it still holds up as one of the funniest buddy-cop comedies ever made. Before diving into the movie rewind, the guys warm things up with their usual off-the-rails banter — covering everything from St. Patrick's Day trivia and spring break plans to a few eyebrow-raising future car rumors spotted in a recent Car and Driver article. That includes reactions to a possible Corvette SUV, a Mustang Raptor, and the rumored return of the Hemi V8 in the Dodge Charger. As always, the conversation drifts through car culture, pop culture, and plenty of laughs before rolling into the movie review that anchors this week's episode. The post K&F Show #360: Spring Break Banter & Future Car Rumors // Movie Review, “The Other Guys” first appeared on The Muscle Car Place.

Father Emmanuel Lemelson, an Orthodox priest and former financial analyst, discusses the intersection of theology, geopolitics, and systemic corruption. Lemelson details his personal history with Donald Trump, including providing a blessing during the 2015 campaign, and describes his subsequent decade-long legal battle against federal authorities and Big Pharma. He critiques Christian Zionism and “holy war” rhetoric as heretical distortions of faith used to justify military aggression and the pursuit of global power. The conversation explores the rise of a technocratic “digital dystopia” fueled by biometric surveillance, AI, and the erosion of cultural identity.  Watch on BitChute / Brighteon / Rumble / Substack / YouTube *Support Geopolitics & Empire!

Emmanuel stands apart, wielding his razor-sharp intellect and unshakable conviction to expose hidden truths. Through his electrifying podcast, he unveils the unseen with an unflinching Orthodox Christian lens, challenging government, culture, and the titans of finance. A polyglot and financial renegade, Fr. Emmanuel defies categorization. He's advised icons like Mark Wahlberg—earning comparisons to genius John Forbes Nash Jr. in HBO Max's Wahl Street—while remaining a steadfast priest, mentor, and defender of Orthodoxy. Subscribe for bold insights from a man who thrives at the crossroads of paradox, peeling back the layers of a world few dare to confront. *Podcast intro music used with permission is from the song “The Queens Jig” by the fantastic “Musicke & Mirth” from their album “Music for Two Lyra Viols”: http://musicke-mirth.de/en/recordings.html (available on iTunes or Amazon)

If you woke up today thinking, “Wow, I hope my neighbors don't solve disputes with a hammer,” congratulations — you're already ahead of Hillsboro.On today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, your favorite comedy podcast dives headfirst into a buffet of local chaos, celebrity controversy, and just enough heartfelt nostalgia to make you question your emotional stability.We kick things off in the Central West End where a 58-year-old man allegedly went on a full naked rampage in a high-end apartment building. Elevators were involved. Statues worth $500K were harmed. Security guards saw things they cannot unsee. This comedy podcast breaks down the entire “Friday the 13th but make it STL” moment and asks the important question: how does one man cause a million dollars in damage without pants?Then we pivot to Wash Ave, where a repeat offender made some very poor life choices less than two weeks after getting out of jail. We discuss personal recognizance bonds, public safety, and why “can't stop, won't stop” should not apply in this context.From there? Neighborhood drama escalates into full-on hammer justice in Hillsboro. A dad confronts another dad about bullying… and ends up facing first-degree assault charges. Conflict resolution tip from this comedy podcast: maybe try literally anything else first.We also honor the passing of Blueberry Hill co-founder Linda Edwards and reflect on what she meant to The Delmar Loop and St. Louis culture. It's heartfelt. It's nostalgic. It's the one moment in today's comedy podcast where we don't roast someone.Then it's Crap On Celebrities time — and we get into the uncomfortable but fascinating world of celebrities who somehow survived cancellation. From Snoop Dogg's glow-up to Mark Wahlberg's past, Vince Neil's history, Mike Tyson's comeback, and the wildly inconsistent court of public opinion — we break down who gets forgiven and why.Plus:Shia LaBeouf spotted at Mardi GrasJustin Timberlake allegedly on a “no boys night” leashAI lawsuits coming for HollywoodSantana & The Doobie Brothers blessing STLAnd Moon trying to explain tech business strategy while we slowly age in real timeIt's another beautifully unhinged installment of your favorite comedy podcast — daily chaos, sarcastic humor, pop culture commentary, and St. Louis stories that make you grateful for your relatively normal apartment building.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
