Podcast DescriptionIf you won't show up for yourself, why should anyone else?After four shop owners scheduled discovery calls and failed to show up in the same week, Coach Chris Cotton decided it was time for an honest conversation.This isn't an episode about phone calls.It's an episode about commitment.In this tough-love edition of The Weekly Blitz, Chris challenges shop owners to stop making excuses, stop blaming coaching programs, and start taking ownership of the one thing they can control—themselves.If you've ever said, "I'm too busy," this episode may be exactly what you need to hear.In this episode you'll learn:Why missing appointments is a symptom of a bigger leadership issue.How "I'm too busy" often means your business is running you.The guarantees every great coaching relationship should provide.Why coaching only works when owners do the work.The common denominator in failed coaching relationships.Why commitment—not motivation—is the foundation of success.How protecting your calendar protects your future.Memorable Quotes"Your business doesn't own itself. If it owns you, you've built a prison.""The problem isn't that you've had three coaches. The common denominator in all three coaching relationships is the person you shave with every morning.""Your coach can show you the path, but they can't walk it for you.""Success isn't built on motivation. It's built on commitment.""Your future isn't decided by the appointments you make. It's decided by the appointments you keep.The Weekly Blitz is brought to you by our friends over at Shop Marketing Pros. If you want to take your shop to the next level, you need great marketing.

This week, a continuation of our series called “In The Shadow Of…”, where we compare bands to a well-established mainstream act. This is not about copycats, but about artists that have similar vibes, share a sonic soundscape, or whose songwriting and playing styles are sympatico. This is another band near and dear to both of you humble hosts. A band that sits atop the pedestal of all things “heavy”. A band that defined metal in the 80s and 90s while becoming somewhat polarizing in more recent years; the iconic METALLICA! Join us as we discover other bands who were influenced and inspired by this hella great band. What's this InObscuria thing? We're a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This is not a statement about bands trying to copy one another, but more that they have a shared sound and vision. It's been said that there is no originality left in rock n' roll and also been stated that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. As always, we hope we turn you onto something new! Songs this week include: Trivium – “Unrepentant” from The Crusade (2006) Bloodstain – “Black Swan” from I Am Death - EP(2024) Thrasherwolf – “Shameless Loser” from Inside The Sickened Mind (2024) Evile – “Head Of The Demon” from Skull (2013) Machine Head – “Slanderous” from The Blackening (2007) Tantara – “Human Mutation” from Based On Evil (2012) ThrashWall – “War Outside The Wall” from ThrashWall(2020) Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/ https://bonelesspodcasting.com/shows/in-obscuria https://www.facebook.com/InObscuria https://twitter.com/inobscuria https://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/ Buy cool stuff with our logo on it: InObscuria Store Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/ If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/ If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/

Thanks to our partners Promotive, WickedFile, Maverick Shop Owners, and OverdryveYou need money. Maybe it's to cover payroll this week, maybe it's to buy the alignment rack you've been eyeing for a year. Either way, Hunt Demarest, CPA, says the loan you should get depends entirely on two questions banks are already asking about you: do you have cash flow, and do you have collateral?In this solo follow-up to his cash reserves series, Hunt breaks down every borrowing option available to auto repair shop owners and ranks them from cheapest to most dangerous. He walks through real client scenarios — equity in your building, financing new equipment, strong profits with nothing to put up as collateral — and explains exactly what to say (and not say) when you sit down with a bank. He closes with a hard look at credit card advance loans: why they're marketed as easy money, why the interest rate isn't actually what traps shop owners, and why the repayment period is the real killer.Whether you're planning a purchase a year out or you need cash this month, this episode gives you the vocabulary and the game plan to borrow smarter.What You'll Learn...00:00 Intro: wrapping up the cash conversation with how to actually get the money03:46 Secured vs. unsecured debt, and why one always beats the other on rate06:10 The two things every bank is really looking for: cash flow and collateral07:12 Scenario: You're out of cash, but your building has equity07:57 Refinance or borrow against it?

“How many people do you think go into a bar and say: ‘I'd like an Everclear on the rocks, please…'?” Looking back, 1997 seems utterly surreal… To put things in perspective, 1997 marked the debut of South Park on Comedy Central, the release of Radiohead's breakthrough, third album, OK Computer, the beginning of the final season of Seinfeld, and (of course) the arrival of Metallica's conclusion to The Loads with Reload. Perhaps one of the most surreal (and tragic) parts of 1997 was the time a bunch of children in a band called Hanson went viral with a song called MMMBop while a lesser known, criminally underrated, and FAR SUPERIOR band (with an extremely similar sounding name, consisting of former members of Helmet & Quicksand) called Handsome released their one (and only) album, Handsome, earlier that same year. Sometimes life is just too weird and utterly unfair… It's time to discover the power of “a better magical piece of paper” that is not a college degree and understand that whenever someone uses the term ‘dating' that “we know exactly what they're talking about”. Find out who “stayed metal the whole time”, who was “chuggin' the D”, and who wasn't going to metal shows “unless it was Metallica” when you JOIN US as we go back in time almost 30 years with THE CLASS OF 1997.

Send us Fan MailWe pour Metallica's Blackened whiskey and test whether “born in cask forged by sound” is a real finishing technique or just a loud story. We also light up Black House pipe tobacco, swap notes on what we taste, and argue about what makes a celebrity bottle worth buying twice. • Dave Pickerell's background and why his name adds credibility • How sonic finishing works with subwoofers, bass, and barrel vibration • What “black brandy barrels” likely means and why the finish dominates • Our tasting notes and why the whiskey feels sweet but thin to us • Sourced whiskey transparency and why we want clearer labels • Black House tobacco origins as a Balkan Sobranie style match • Latakia, Perique, dark-fired Kentucky, and why the smoke reads “barbecue” • Why tobacco blends get discontinued and how that mirrors chasing rare whiskey • Whether celebrity names drive real loyalty or just one-time curiosity Thank you for listening to the podcast.

In part two, a $80 shirt being sold to support Wellington Central MP Tamatha Paul's re-election bid has been pulled off the Green party website and the shelves. The issue is around the "Tametallica Tee" stylised in a way that looks very similar to hard rock band Metallica's logo. Could this be a legal issue, or is it a bit of fun? IP Lawyer Kate Duckworth joins the panel to discuss. Then, St Michael's Church School in Christchurch has marked its 175th anniversary. We talk to former pupil John Hobson who has a long history with the school.
S9E31 went live from the Myoli Beach TSORR studio on 30 July 2026. This show was a real shoot from the hip. I got locked out of my entire music library and spent most of the day on the phone trying to get it sorted out. We'll continue the fight tomorrow, but for this show I really flew by the seat of my pants, digging out songs from the depths of my laptop. But it turned out pretty good; see if you agree. The planned Diabolical Challenge has been held over to next week. Thanks as always for the support.

Thanks to our Partners, Shop Boss and AppFueledJoe Marconi believes one of the biggest mistakes auto repair shop owners make is assuming that more advertising will solve declining car count. In reality, marketing can make the phone ring, but what happens after a customer walks through the door determines whether they'll ever come back. Brian Walker and Joe dive into the critical difference between customer acquisition and retention, why hospitality should be at the center of every auto repair shop, and how internal processes, culture, leadership, and customer experience ultimately drive long-term growth. If you've ever wondered why your marketing isn't producing the results you expected, this conversation will challenge the way you think about growing your business.Listen to the full episode to discover how to turn first-time customers into lifelong advocates.Show Notes with TimestampsIntroduction to the Topic(00:00:09) Host Brian Walker introduces guest Joe Marconi and the topic of his article, "Advertising doesn't Fix Car Count Problems."The Original, Stronger Title(00:02:04) Joe reveals his article's original title was "Advertising doesn't sell anything and I can prove it," but it was toned down.Acquisition vs. Retention(00:03:04) The discussion shifts to the difference between acquiring new customers and the crucial, often overlooked, aspect of retaining them.The Biggest Misconception(00:04:31) Joe explains the biggest misconception is that advertising alone can solve weak sales or low car counts for a shop.Internal Marketing is Key(00:06:08) The conversation highlights that every interaction with a customer inside the shop is a form of marketing that builds relationships.Building a Positive Culture(00:07:17) Joe advises shop owners to establish a strong internal marketing plan and a positive culture before spending more on advertising.The Hospitality Industry(00:09:04) The speakers discuss how auto repair shops should adopt a hospitality mindset, similar to restaurants and hotels, to improve customer experience.The Walt Disney Effect(00:10:33) Joe explains how customers judge a shop on how they were treated, not the technical details of the repair.A Real-World Example(00:14:15) Joe shares a story of a large shop that thought it had a car count problem but actually had an internal process problem.The Dangers of Automation(00:18:54) Brian shares examples of how automated call trees and poor service advisor responses can undermine even the best marketing efforts.Mapping the 5-Star Experience(00:21:41) Joe outlines the steps to creating a world-class customer experience, from their first online search to post-repair follow-up.Remembering the Details(00:24:32) The importance of using the shop management system to note personal details about clients to build stronger, lasting relationships.What to Do Before Spending on Marketing(00:27:01) Joe advises owners to first evaluate their business goals and, most importantly, focus on the employee experience before increasing ad spend.Happy Employees Equal Happy Clients(00:29:37) The discussion emphasizes the direct link between a positive employee culture and a positive customer experience, citing Chick-fil-A as an example.Playing the Long Game(00:32:13) Brian explains why his agency advises shops with internal issues to fix those first, ensuring a better long-term marketing ROI.Fix the Shop Owner First(00:33:37) Joe stresses that a shop's success often starts with the owner's mindset, leadership, and willingness to address internal problems.How to Contact Joe Marconi(00:36:03) Joe shares how listeners can get in touch with him and Elite Worldwide for coaching and advice.Lagniappe (Books, Links, Other Podcasts, etc)Unreasonable Hospitality Thanks to our Partners, Shop Boss and AppFueledThis episode is sponsored by Shop Boss.

For July's episode we discuss our favourite songs of 1983, so we've got lots of goth, synthpop, metal titans, electro, industrial, and beautiful ambient soundscapes. We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Colin's wife Helen, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from the other two hosts, along with our own 10. We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them back to Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order. She also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine.Now, admittedly, in parts we're a little bit brutal to some of the songs in the list as we're three separate people with differing music tastes, but please remember that to be in this episode at all the songs have to have been in one of our top 10's of that year.Bands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) - Accept, Aztec Camera, Bananarama, Bauhaus, The Birthday Party, David Bowie, Dio, Brian Eno, The Fall, Freur, Gene Loves Jezebel, Grandmaster Melle Mel, Corey Hart, Heaven 17, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Cyndi Lauper, Metallica, Merzbow, Ministry, The Pointer Sisters, R.E.M., Specimen, Suicidal Tendencies, Swans, Talking Heads, Tears For Fears, The The, U2, and Tom WaitsFind all songs in alphabetical order here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/534g5ENDcVYaw5oSgT7dvu?si=f7eae0414cdc47e5Find our We Dig Music Pollwinners Party playlist (featuring all of the winning songs up until now) here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/45zfDHo8zm6VqrvoEQSt3z?si=Ivt0oMj6SmitimvumYfFrQIf you want to listen to megalength playlists of all the songs we've individually picked since we started doing best of the year episodes (which need updating but I plan on doing them over the next few months or so), you can listen to Colin's here – https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5x3Vy5Jry2IxG9JNOtabRT?si=HhcVKRCtRhWCK1KucyrDdgIan's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2H0hnxe6WX50QNQdlfRH5T?si=XmEjnRqISNqDwi30p1uLqAand Tracey's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2p3K0n8dKhjHb2nKBSYnKi?si=7a-cyDvSSuugdV1m5md9NwThe playlist of 20 songs from the other two hosts was scored as usual, our favourite song got 20 points, counting down incrementally to our least favourite which got 1 point. The scoring of our own list of 10 is now slightly more complicated in order to give a truer level of points to our own favourites. So rather than them only being able to score as many points as our 10th favourite in the other list, the points in our own list were distributed as follows -1st place - 20 points2nd place - 18 points3rd place – 16 points4th place – 14 points5th place – 12 points6th place – 9 points7th place – 7 points8th place – 5 points9th place – 3 points10th place -1 pointHosts - Ian Clarke, Colin Jackson-Brown & Tracey BGuest starring Helen Jackson-Brown.Playlist compiling/distributing – Helen Jackson-BrownRecorded/Edited/Mixed/Original Music by Colin Jackson-Brown for We Dig PodcastsThanks to Peter Latimer for help with the scoring system.Part of the We Dig Podcasts network along with Free With This Months Issue & Pick A Disc.Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/wedigmusic.bsky.socialInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wedigmusicpcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/wedigpusicpcast/Find our other episodes & podcasts at www.wedigpodcasts.com

In Dumb Ass News, a whole street fight between two strangers turned out to be a big mistake. Chaz and AJ had hilarious audio of the argument, the punch and the apology. (0:00) Clearly, there needs to be an establishment of basic concert ettiquette. Chaz and AJ asked the Tribe to call in their suggestions, after Noah Kahan fans have repeatedly seen people urinating (or worse) in their seats instead of going to the bathroom. (4:27) Joe Soper from Mohegan Sun was on the phone with Chaz and AJ to talk about the lineup for their 30th anniversary, from Foo Fighters and Alanis Morrissette, to Metallica and Rush. Plus, Kevin Gagliard was in studio from Pepe's Pizzeria to talk about next weekend's CT Pizza and Brewfest. (22:31)Anyone else miss water beds? Chaz and AJ welcomed Commander Keith in studio for his list of the Top 5 things he's hoping make a comeback. (31:04)
Episode 274 of Beer, Blues, and BS delivers a packed show of vinyl unboxings, massive industry shakeups, and peak neighborhood absurdity! Mark Kidder officially breaks the seal on the newly released, remastered edition of Metallica's Reload, sparking a deep dive into favorite tracks and rare demo discs. The conversation takes a serious turn as the guys dissect the massive wave of corporate radio layoffs sweeping the nation, breaking down the harsh reality of losing local voices and critical live emergency coverage to automated broadcasting. Over at the bar, JS battles a golden ale with an unexpected "Christmas tree" undertone before redeeming his palate with a smooth Mississippi pecan brown ale. Doc checks in live from an airport lounge to review a crisp raspberry gose, while Howard Blues attempts to launch "Kombucha Appreciation Month"—much to the absolute skepticism of the room.

Thanks to our partners Promotive, WickedFile, Maverick Shop Owners, and OverdryveYour bank account just hit zero. What do you do in the next 24 hours? And if you're planning six months ahead instead, is a bank loan really your cheapest option?Following up on last week's episode on cash reserve mistakes, Hunt Demarest, CPA, goes solo again to tackle the other side of that coin: how to actually get cash back into your shop, whether you need it today or you're planning ahead. He draws a hard line between "I need money right now" and "I need money eventually," and walks through the immediate, band-aid moves every shop owner should make the moment they run dry — leveraging credit cards, cutting the right expenses (and not the wrong ones), and diagnosing the real reason the cash dried up in the first place. From there, Hunt ranks every borrowing option available to shop owners, from real estate equity all the way down to credit card advance loans, and explains why "debt-free" can quietly become one of the most dangerous positions a shop can be in.Whether you're staring down an empty operating account this week or mapping out a remodel a year from now, this episode is a practical roadmap for getting and keeping the cash your shop actually needs.What You'll Learn...00:00 Intro: last week's reserve mistakes come home to roost03:29 Need cash now or need cash later?

In which The Curmudgeons revisit the most popular and epic music from most of the year they both turned 16 years of age. Why most? Because on September 24,1991, a whole hell of a lot changed. That was the day Nirvana's Nevermind hit record-store shelves (remember those?). Before then, the world was inundated with diva pop from Mariah Carey and Paula Abdul, the embers of pop metal from the Scorpions, Skid Row and Guns N' Roses, a ton of mostly awful R&B slow jams, novelty hits from folks like Gerardo and MC Hammer and some actually great stuff from R.E.M., Gang Starr, My Bloody Valentine, Metallica, INXS, Londonbeat and others. We put our track shoes on in this episode to brave the rapids of these decidedly mixed and non-zeitgeist-ish first nine months of 1991...covering nearly 100 songs! Enjoy the ride... Listen to all of this great (and not so great music) from 1991 by access our special Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3EdH6x0Uy5phuXOadoe2z1?si=7fa8ae32186c4562 Here's a handy navigation companion to this episode: (00:52 - 03:05) - Arturo Andrade sets the parameters for our discussion of the pre-Nirvana months of 1991 (04:04 - 22:29) - The Parallel Universe, featuring reviews of new albums from Mildred and Vince Staples (23:27 - 01:31:19) - We rumble through songs that were either big or notable between January and May of 1991.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Most auto repair shops are sitting on a goldmine of untapped revenue without realizing it. In this episode, Carm Capriotto welcomes Jimmy Alauria of 3A Automotive & Diesel Repair to discuss how deferred work can become one of your shop's most effective growth strategies. By pulling just two years of data from his shop's database, he discovered $3.3 million in potential revenue from deferred services. From better customer communication to smarter follow-up systems, Jimmy explains how to turn yesterday's declined repairs into tomorrow's repair orders. What You'll Learn Why your customer database is one of your shop's most valuable assets.How deferred work can create significant new revenue without increasing car count.Why shops should schedule the next appointment before the customer leaves.While DVIs provide excellent transparency, their primary goal should be to educate the customer and help them plan, rather than to force an immediate $5,000 repair order. Jimmy notes that customers decline work not necessarily because they lack trust, but because they need time to budgeHow categorizing repairs by safety, reliability, maintenance, and appearance improves customer understanding.Understanding the customer's personal "car goals," whether they love the car and want to avoid a new car payment, or they hate the car and want to trade it in, is also critical to framing recommendations effectively.The shortcomings of traditional CRM follow-up systems and how AI can improve communication.How AI helps prioritize repairs and translates technical repair language into customer-friendly messaging that drives response. Deferred work isn't lost business; it's future opportunity. By building better follow-up processes, educating customers, and using technology to communicate more effectively, shops can strengthen relationships, improve customer retention, and unlock substantial revenue already waiting in their database.

On episode 216 of March Forth with Mike Bauman, Mike chats with guitarist William Falkner! A native of Huntsville, Alabama, William is a Nashville-based guitarist who currently performs with Sleep Nation, Dalton Davis, and Jenna Kay, among others. His love for music and guitar stems back to his childhood in Alabama, where the support of his parents and guitar instructor/mentor Jeff Beasley propelled him to chase his dreams. A decade of guitar lessons and mentorship from Beasley led to William taking two semesters at the acclaimed Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, where he was surrounded by fellow talented creatives from around the world. Those experiences help foster William's love of guitar, kickstarting a musical career which has seen him perform in multiple genres with multiple artists, ultimately leading him to the Music City. In this episode, William talks with Mike about his early love of guitar, the support and direction of his parents and Beasley, getting the opportunity to study at Berklee College of Music, their shared love of AC/DC and Metallica, having the courage to chase your dreams as a creative despite doubts and naysayers, their favorite riffs, and more. This episode also features the song "DEAD MAN'S GLOW" from Sleep Nation, available where you get your music! Follow William on Instagram @william_falkner_, and on YouTube @OfficialWilliamFalkner .

Most service advisors think their job on the phone is to answer questions.They're wrong.In this episode, Coach Chris Cotton explains why the only objective of every incoming phone call is to secure the appointment and how that one mindset shift can dramatically improve your closing ratio, increase car count, and create a better customer experience.Chris dives into why shop owners should be listening to phone calls every week, how to score calls using a simple pass/fail system, and why service advisors must confidently guide customers through the scheduling process instead of simply providing information.You'll also learn why appointment times don't mean what customers think they mean, how to properly set expectations before a customer arrives, and why successful shops intentionally overbook based on historical no-show rates.If you want more cars showing up, fewer scheduling headaches, and service advisors who sound like trusted professionals, this episode is for you.In This Episode✔ Why every phone call should be scored Pass or Fail✔ The only purpose of answering the phone✔ Why service advisors should lead—not simply answer questions✔ Setting expectations before customers arrive✔ Why appointment times are actually arrival times✔ Creating a smooth customer check-in process✔ Scheduling based on probabilities instead of hope✔ Why your phone process is actually part of your marketingKey Takeaways"The purpose of answering the phone isn't to answer questions. It's to secure the appointment.""Customers don't need another information desk. They need someone willing to guide them.""Every phone call is a sales opportunity long before an estimate is ever written.""Appointment time isn't when the repair starts. It's when the relationship starts.""Don't schedule perfection. Schedule reality."Memorable Quotes"If the appointment wasn't scheduled, the phone call failed.""The best service advisors don't wait for customers to lead—they confidently guide them.""Confusion creates frustration. Expectations create confidence.""Your service advisor is one of the most important salespeople in your business.""Hope is not a scheduling strategy."The Weekly Blitz is brought to you by our friends over at Shop Marketing Pros.

This week on America's Podcast, Marc is joined by family member Tim Wirasnik and a familiar voice who's basically already a co-host, Andy Rodriguez! (Officially, that title wouldn't come for a few more episodes, but let's be honest… he already earned it.) This week we tackle Testament's The Ritual and ask the question: Is it a true metal classic, or is it… Disney Metal? Yeah, we went there! The debate gets spirited as we break down the album, its place in Testament's catalog, and whether it still holds up today. Along the way, we take a side trip into an interesting discussion about how Metallica helped shape and grow heavy metal, but that's all we're giving away. No more spoilers—you'll have to listen to hear the rest! Tracks of the Week:

Thanks to our partners Promotive, WickedFile, Maverick Shop Owners, and OverdryveHow much cash did your shop actually make last month — and how much of it is still sitting in the bank? If you paid off every dollar of debt tomorrow, would you have anything left to cover a bad month?In this episode, Hunt Demarest, CPA, goes solo to tackle a topic he says trips up shop owners more than almost anything else: cash and reserves. He breaks down the simple rule of thumb for how much you should be keeping in the bank, then walks through four specific mistakes he sees shop owners make — from draining the business dry to (on the flip side) hoarding so much cash it becomes a legal liability, to the sneaky problem of debt payoff plans that leave owners debt-free and cash-poor at the same time. Hunt also shares the exact system he recommends clients use to set their own distributions so reserves never dip below where they need to be. Whether you're sitting on six figures in the checking account or wondering why you're always scrambling before payroll, this episode is a practical gut-check on the number that actually keeps a shop alive: cash.What You'll Learn...02:41 Cash vs. profit — the two flows of money every owner confuses03:30 The reserve rule of thumb — 3 to 6 months of overhead05:03 Why your ideal reserve depends on your shop's cash flow pattern06:55 Mistake #1 — Draining your business of its own cash09:51 The fix — how to set your monthly distribution the right way14:24 Mistake #2 — The "champagne problem" of keeping too much cash16:14 The profit-hold account trick — protecting cash without spending it17:01 Mistake #3 — Parking reserves where they earn zero interest19:12 Mistake #4 — Paying off debt too aggressively21:06 Cash and debt beats debt-free and broke — Hunt's ruleIf you're ready to stop guessing how much cash your shop should be holding, start building a reserve strategy that actually fits your business, and finally understand why "debt-free" isn't always the win it sounds like — this episode is essential listening.Thanks to our partner, PromotivePromotive has over 40 years of recruiting and automotive experience.

Stephen Furtick has often spoken about the importance of raising his children “in the way they should go.” But what happens when the context of that comment is about showing him the music of Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix? What we want to examine are comments from Stephen Furtick as he reflects on his son, the music they've bonded over, and why he says Metallica's album 72 Seasons has been his inspiration for the 18th anniversary of Elevation Church. We'll also look at his past remarks about introducing his son to the top 100 Rock albums at their at-home “Seminary” and ask an important question: What does biblical discipleship actually look like? Are the formative influences we celebrate shaping our children toward Christ, or toward the values of the world?

Congratulations are officially in order... because Lern somehow found extra hours in the day that the rest of us definitely don't have.She's now pulling double duty between St. Louis and Chicago, finishing one radio show, sprinting to her car, driving five hours north, hosting another show until midnight, and somehow making it back to the studio before the next morning. At this point we're convinced she's either invented teleportation or secretly runs on nothing but gas station coffee and spite. The gang celebrates the new opportunity while immediately roasting her for accidentally becoming "Chicago's newest native" overnight.Then things take the sharpest left turn imaginable.A simple conversation about Skid Row turns into what may be the most passionate legal defense of a fictional character ever attempted on morning radio. Did Ricky from "18 and Life" actually receive a fair sentence? Did his lawyer completely fail him? Could manslaughter have knocked years off his sentence? Before long, the crew is pitching an entire sequel where Ricky is finally released decades later, discovers smartphones, struggles with modern life, and tries to reintegrate into society. Sebastian Bach... if you're listening... we've basically written your next album.Of course, that's only the beginning.The gang dives into rock history, legendary concerts, Sebastian Bach's incredible hair, Quiet Riot, Great White, classic metal memories, and why moms somehow approved of Skid Row while other bands got thrown straight into the trash.Later, the crew celebrates Missouri's connection to sliced bread, debates whether "best thing since sliced bread" replaced an even older saying, revisits classic pop culture moments, and rolls through another packed edition of Crap on Celebrities featuring Metallica's emotional Ozzy tribute, Ella Langley's historic chart run, SZA opening up about her autism diagnosis, Whoopi Goldberg getting stranded by a volcano, Danny Trejo's unbelievable Charles Manson story, and the future of AI actors in Hollywood.Then things get wonderfully nostalgic as everyone argues over which movies every younger generation absolutely has to watch. From action classics to sci-fi masterpieces to childhood favorites, expect plenty of passionate disagreements and a few films that definitely deserved more love than they got.Finally, the show wraps exactly the way you'd expect... with Crappy Birthdays, some hilariously questionable movie titles, and a game of Real or Fake Fireworks using the bizarre names found on leftover Fourth of July fireworks. Because nothing says responsible broadcasting quite like trying to determine whether "Exploding Mega Whatever" is an actual consumer product.It's another completely unpredictable comedy podcast packed with music nostalgia, pop culture commentary, ridiculous hypotheticals, listener laughs, celebrity updates, and the kind of conversations that only happen when nobody in the room thinks, "Maybe we should move on."Whether you're here for the rock stories, the celebrity gossip, the debates over old movies, or simply to hear adults spend entirely too much time defending a fictional prison sentence from a 1980s song, this comedy podcast delivers exactly the kind of daily chaos you'd expect from The Rizzuto Show.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.
