Country music star Morgan Wallen had given the family of University of Idaho murder victim Ethan Chapin free tickets to his July 2023 concert in San Diego after learning about the emotional connection Ethan and his mother, Stacy Chapin, had shared through Wallen's music. Before Ethan was killed, he had sent his mother Wallen's song “Thought You Should Know,” which Wallen had written as a tribute to his own mother, and told Stacy that the song could represent their relationship as well. After Ethan's death, Stacy had spoken publicly about the significance the song continued to hold for her. Wallen eventually learned about the story and arranged for Stacy, her husband Jim, Ethan's surviving triplet siblings Maizie and Hunter, and other family members and friends to attend his sold-out show at Petco Park. Wallen met the Chapins before the concert, and his mother, Lesli Wallen, had also traveled to San Diego to meet them.Stacy had described the experience as an emotional and bittersweet full-circle moment, particularly because Wallen performed the song that had become so closely associated with Ethan. The gesture went beyond concert tickets and a backstage meeting, however, as Wallen also presented the family with a donation to the Ethan's Smile Foundation, the nonprofit the Chapins had established in their son's memory. The foundation had focused on providing scholarships and educational opportunities to students in Washington's Skagit Valley, including students attending the University of Idaho. Stacy said Wallen's generosity had been one of the kindest gestures she had experienced, while acknowledging the painful reality that the extraordinary encounter had only happened because of the devastating loss of her son. Ethan had been killed alongside Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves at an off-campus Moscow, Idaho, home in November 2022.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Jim and Stacy Chapin had broken their silence about the murder of their 20-year-old son, Ethan, five months after he was killed alongside Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves in Moscow, Idaho. The Chapins recalled that they had visited their triplets at the University of Idaho during parents' weekend just one week before the murders and had left feeling proud and reassured that Ethan, Hunter and Maizie were thriving on their own. Jim remembered saying goodbye to Ethan outside the Sigma Chi fraternity house, where he hugged his son and told him to be safe, never imagining it would be the last time they spoke. Seven days later, Ethan was killed at the off-campus King Road home. The Chapins described the months that followed as an unimaginably painful period in which the family largely withdrew from the outside world, spending weeks together talking, crying and trying to process what had happened.Rather than allowing anger to consume them, Jim and Stacy said they had tried to focus their energy on Ethan's memory and the surviving members of their family. They created the Ethan's Smile foundation, which grew out of a special tulip mix developed in Ethan's honor by Tulip Valley Farms, where he had previously worked, and planned to use the foundation to provide scholarships for students from Washington's Skagit Valley attending the University of Idaho. The Chapins said they had no regrets about the amount of time they had spent with Ethan while he was alive, remembering family vacations, childhood activities and traditions that had kept the family close. Stacy also recalled Ethan sending her Morgan Wallen's “Thought You Should Know” before his death because he believed the song reflected their relationship, turning it into an especially meaningful reminder of her son. As the family moved forward, they said they were trying to find small victories and preserve Ethan's legacy rather than allow the brutality of his death to define his life.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Somebody in Quincy, Illinois just became insanely rich, somebody else allegedly treated a Morgan Wallen concert like his own personal bathroom, and somehow that's only the beginning of today's Rizzuto Show.The crew kicks things off with the massive Powerball jackpot and the one winning ticket sold in Quincy, Illinois. Naturally, instead of simply congratulating this newly minted billionaire and moving along like mature adults, we immediately start spending their money for them. Lump sum or annuity? Buy an island or stay in the same house? Disappear forever or become the richest tractor enthusiast in the Midwest? This funny podcast tackles all the responsible financial questions that absolutely nobody should trust us to answer.Moon also wonders whether the mystery winner could somehow be his cousin, which leads to dreams of farmland, giant gardens, tractors, demolition derby cars and the kind of billionaire lifestyle that says, “Yes, I have generational wealth, but I still know how to fix this carburetor.”Then things take a hard turn. And by “hard turn,” we mean the kind of conversational detour only The Rizzuto Show could make.We get an update on Michael Phillips, the North Carolina man who previously went viral for openly discussing his micropenis condition and is now preparing for an enhancement procedure. Rizz actually donated to the crowdfunding campaign, because apparently this show occasionally uses its powers for good between making every possible inappropriate joke about the situation.From there, welcome to The Urine Chronicles.The man accused of urinating on seated concertgoers during a Morgan Wallen show has finally been arrested, reopening one of the great philosophical debates of our time: what exactly are you legally, morally and spiritually allowed to do when a stranger starts peeing on you? Rizz has some thoughts. Rafe has some extremely specific defensive strategies. Lern consults the internet. Moon attempts to introduce reason into the discussion, which—as longtime listeners know—is usually where everything goes wrong.There's also a trip through history as the crew marks the anniversary of the Berlin Wall going up, complete with escape stories, Moon's memories of visiting Berlin and the historically impeccable reminder that David Hasselhoff personally brought the whole thing down. Please do not cite this funny podcast in your dissertation.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, featuring Diddy's prison update and a debate over whether celebrities can ever truly become untouchable after major scandals. The crew gets into Ozzy Osbourne's “Crazy Train” passing one billion Spotify streams, new Phoebe Bridgers music, upcoming rock documentaries, Jason Sudeikis joining Mumford & Sons for the Ted Lasso theme, Seinfeld remaining comfort-food television, Rory Scovel's comedy special, Star Wars fatigue, Ewan McGregor's willingness to return as Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Julie Andrews stepping away from Princess Diaries 3.Plus, celebrity fan encounters get deeply weird. Dolly Parton once had a baby left on her doorstep. The Jonas Brothers received a preserved baby shark. Rupert Grint apparently accepted an invitation to party with drag queens until 4 a.m. And James McAvoy got presented with perhaps the most direct hall-pass proposal imaginable.Throw in birthdays, St. Louis references, inappropriate detours and enough pop culture commentary to make your search history look deeply concerning, and you've got another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show.Come for the billion-dollar dreams. Stay because we're apparently litigating concert pee.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.

It is a privilege to welcome country music recording artist Caldwell to the Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. Caldwell's sound is as raw and real as the life that shaped him. Raised in a diverse community and grounded in values of respect, hard work, and authenticity, Caldwell found his rhythm early, picking up the drums at age five and turning to songwriting during high school. The spark that lit the fuse came when he watched a friend shoot a music video and thought, “I can do this better.” Drawing inspiration from Eminem, Elvis Presley, Bruno Mars, and Morgan Wallen, Caldwell channels his Southern roots into a fearless fusion of country, rock, hip-hop, and pop. What began as a relentless grind through local venues and bar stages has evolved into sold-out performances, viral moments, and a rapidly expanding fanbase fueled by his faith, grit, and unwavering work ethic.Hailing from Greenville, South Carolina, Caldwell is redefining genre lines with a high-voltage blend of country, rock, rap, and pop. Following a breakout 2025 that saw him named Rolling Stone UK's #1 Artist to Watch with his viral hit “Beer & Baddies” featuring Sexyy Red, which debuted at number 31 on the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay Chart, Caldwell continues his meteoric rise with a major milestone of partnering with independent record label EMPIRE Nashville. Caldwell took this energy and harnessed a show-stopping performance for a record-breaking crowd at CMA Fest's Dr Pepper Amp Stage. The performance left the crowd wanting more and fueled the iconic WAKA FLOCKA FLAME to say from the stage, “Caldwell is the most exciting new country artist to come up!”On this episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Caldwell opened up about how Chad Kroeger and Morgan Wallen influenced his sound, the stories behind his songs, including “F.S.U.” and “Flyin' Pass – Remix” with Yung Pinch & MOD SUN.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

Today's guest wrote "The Climb." She also wrote "I Drive Your Truck," "Mine Would Be You," "Don't Think Jesus," and "Ain't No Love in Oklahoma." But her real story isn't the hits. It's the ten years before the first one, the five years after it when the phone stopped ringing, and what she figured out in between about how to actually last in this business.From a dropped record deal and years as what she calls a washed-up artist nobody would write with, to Song of the Year, a Grammy nomination, and a run of hits she wrote while raising three kids under three. She carries three things at once that almost no writer figures out how to hold together: a working method she can actually teach, a conviction that this is a calling and not a job, and a refusal to write the safe version of anything.And The Writer Is...

From the Patriot Mobile Studios powered by eSpaces, the Try That In A Small Town Podcast crew sits down for a raw, unfiltered hang. Tully, Kurt, Thrash, Kaylo and Neil talk about everything from health scares and terrible sleep to the emotional toll of chasing hits in a “failure business” and wondering if this podcast is actually any good.They celebrate Jason Aldean's multi‑week No. 1 with “Try That In A Small Town,” shout out Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs, and then pull back the curtain on how little songwriters and session players really make in the streaming era. They debate AI‑written songs, the madness of modern politics, bathroom etiquette, and why a fast‑food combo in a tiny Tennessee town now costs 14 dollars.If you've ever chased a creative dream, wondered why some shows blow up and others stall in “podcast purgatory,” or just love small‑town stories with a heavy dose of honesty and sarcasm, this one's for you.

Joey warned everyone that he was fasting for lab work and might get hangry. He woke up extra early and ate three gluten-free waffles, syrup, and a banana before 3:30am. Nancy finally watched the Idaho murders documentary on Netflix and was completely creeped out by it.

Joey also highlighted new Tennessee laws allowing digital vehicle registrations, animal chiropractic care, and requiring more daily recess time for elementary school students.

There's been a (diaper?) rash of people peeing and pooping themselves at concerts all summer, climaxing naturally at a Morgan Wallen show. Why is this happening? We have theories. Then, a hilarious pilot program to have sex-adjacent robots teach kids in a small district is on hold. Not for long, though, as the company and the government would very much like to take it national. There's lots of fun perverts involved, plus a crypto scam.This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Artificial intelligence was supposed to be the future. Now it's becoming the problem.This week, we're drawing the line between using AI as a powerful tool and letting it replace the very thing that makes your brand worth following in the first place: you.From AI-generated headshots and fake project renders to caption generators that make every designer sound the same, we discuss why authenticity is becoming the biggest competitive advantage in design, marketing, and content creation. We also break down the latest research on consumer trust, why audiences are getting better at spotting AI-generated content, and how to use AI the right way without losing your voice.Then we shift gears to country music, where history was made twice.

Joey realized his scary 185 bpm gym heart rate was likely caused by mixing a new medication with lots of caffeine.

Students turned in essays with random lines like "Madagascar floats sideways through the afternoon." Hot Tea: Megan Moroney got emotional after ending a Denver show early due to illness. A fake Morgan Wallen meet-and-greet scam reportedly cost fans thousands. Researchers are also raising money for marmot studies through an OnlyFans page called "OnlyMarms."

If you've ever wondered what would happen if a trivia contest, a morning radio show, and a sleep-deprived group chat collided, congratulations—you've found today's episode.The crew kicks things off with another wildly competitive round of Simpleton Trivia, where callers either bet on themselves or trust the show's questionable collection of brains to win concert tickets. Some contestants absolutely cruise. Others discover that knowing where the Sahara Desert is can become a surprisingly stressful life event. Moon attempts to prove he warned everyone not to bet on him, King Scott puts family honor on the line, and somehow frozen rain becomes one of the most debated scientific discoveries in broadcast history.Meanwhile, Rizz officially retires his infamous anatomy-themed dangler earring in a ceremony that absolutely did not need to be as dramatic as it became. Somehow robes, speeches, and unnecessary levels of pageantry all make perfect sense before the crew immediately pivots into one of the strangest news stories imaginable: a Morgan Wallen concert where one attendee decided bathrooms were optional. The discussion spirals into assault laws, concert etiquette, swamp justice, and exactly how far someone should be allowed to test another person's patience before consequences arrive.As if that weren't enough chaos, the show celebrates the return of Moon from Canada, complete with wildfire smoke stories, soccer debates, TSA adventures involving industrial-sized Pepto, and the search for Lern's official NBA team. Naturally, choosing a basketball franchise somehow becomes more difficult than filing taxes.Then the gang dives into the internet's newest music genre obsession—"Cigarette Mom Rock." If your childhood soundtrack included Alanis Morissette, Sheryl Crow, Pink, Fiona Apple, Melissa Etheridge, Michelle Branch, Lisa Loeb, Jewel, or Natalie Imbruglia blasting from a minivan with the windows cracked, congratulations...you've apparently been part of a movement this whole time.Along the way you'll hear stories about raccoons, questionable bodily functions, celebrity news, ridiculous debates, weird observations, and enough sarcastic commentary to make even the smartest person feel like a Simpleton contestant.It's exactly the kind of unpredictable daily comedy show you'd expect when nobody in the room agrees on anything except that making fun of each other is always the correct answer.Whether you're here for funny stories, entertainment gossip, weird news, celebrity chaos, ridiculous arguments, or simply to laugh at adults behaving like overgrown children, this episode delivers all of it—with absolutely zero guarantees anyone learned a lesson.Thanks for hanging out with The Rizzuto Show.

There are normal radio shows...and then there's this absolute disaster.This daily comedy show begins with one of the most important ceremonies in modern broadcasting: Riz officially retires his infamous women's anatomy dangler after completing his charity challenge, complete with dramatic speeches, ceremonial music, and enough unnecessary pageantry to qualify as a royal coronation.Then things immediately get worse.The gang reacts to one of the wildest concert stories we've heard in a while after a Morgan Wallen fan allegedly decided the bathroom line wasn't worth it and allegedly relieved himself directly onto families sitting below him. Was it assault? Could police arrest him immediately? Is "swamp justice" a legal defense? We ask all the questions that absolutely no one in law school prepared for.As if that wasn't enough, TikTok introduces everyone to the newest musical genre: Cigarette Mom Rock. Alanis Morissette, Sheryl Crow, Pink, Melissa Etheridge, Natalie Imbruglia, Fiona Apple, Jewel, Lisa Loeb and more all get lovingly grouped into one hilariously accurate category that somehow instantly makes perfect sense.The celebrity chaos keeps rolling with Christopher Nolan's latest blockbuster dominating theaters while Riz desperately tries to find IMAX tickets before heading overseas. The crew debates whether the Sphere is actually distracting audiences from concerts, Rush rumors start swirling, Kelly Clarkson shares way more information than anyone requested about food poisoning, Marvel finally gives us our first real look at Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, Jennifer's Body gets a sequel, Vanilla Ice heads to the Gathering of the Juggalos, and the crew somehow detours into Beaches, lupus, and why nobody can remember exactly how that movie ends.Along the way you'll hear Drew from Crippling Hot Sauce updates, celebrity birthdays, Crap on Celebrities, superhero confusion, World Cup halftime complaints, cat appreciation, and enough sarcastic commentary to make your morning considerably less productive.If your favorite kind of entertainment is a group of friends turning everyday headlines into ridiculous arguments while accidentally discovering entirely new genres of music, congratulations—you've found your people.Whether you're commuting, pretending to work, avoiding actual responsibilities, or simply looking for a daily comedy show that embraces complete chaos, this episode delivers everything from bizarre news to pop culture commentary with the sarcasm only The Rizzuto Show can provide.Thanks for making us part of your day.
