What happens when you spend 58 years wondering about your biological parents, only to discover your dad is five-time Grammy winner Michael McDonald? You get one incredible family story — and then The Rizzuto Show immediately starts wondering whether Dad owes you a check and a chance to go on tour with the Doobie Brothers.This episode starts with the crew absolutely destroying breakfast from Pioneer Cafe in Kirkwood, including Nashville hot chicken hash, the Stellar Hog hash and enough onions to make Rafe question whether the universe personally hates him. And yes, somehow breakfast gets a full culinary breakdown because apparently this comedy podcast is now Diners, Drive-Ins and Dumbasses.Then comes the genuinely wild story of St. Louisan Michael Gessling, who was adopted as a baby after his biological parents conceived him when they were just 14 years old. Decades later, a 23andMe connection helped unravel the mystery of his biological family — including the small detail that his dad is Michael freaking McDonald.Yes. THAT Michael McDonald.The crew digs into the emotional reunion, Michael McDonald becoming an unexpected grandfather, whether his newly discovered son should immediately become an honorary Doobie, and the beautiful vindication this provides for every kid who ever told classmates, “My dad is actually famous.” Somewhere, the kid who claimed his dad invented Nintendo is feeling VERY confident today.Then Lern delivers Crap on Celebrities, and things remain perfectly normal for approximately zero seconds. There's Diddy prison drama, Rick Ross legal news, a Kid Rock project involving Eminem, concert announcements, Eddie Murphy heading toward scripted television, tiny residual checks from beloved '90s TV shows, Grand Theft Auto 6 earning the most predictable mature rating in human history, and Sylvester Stallone looking back at how Rambo went from emotionally damaged Vietnam veteran to extremely muscular explosion delivery system.The crew also debates Bradley Cooper as Duke in the upcoming G.I. Joe world, learns that Duke is apparently a St. Louis native — because this city will claim literally anybody it can — and examines John Cusack's new look with the sensitivity and restraint you've come to expect from us.Which is none.There's also plenty of Halloween movie talk before Porno Birthday somehow delivers the phrase “Gangsta Glory Holes 2,” providing an accidental transition so perfect that no professional writer could responsibly create it.Because waiting on the other side of the break is the Glory Hole Challenge.Riz gets blindfolded. Mystery objects are going through the hole. His face is apparently the designated scientific instrument. Listeners have prizes riding on whether he can identify what's being shoved toward him, and Rafe offers perhaps the least comforting reassurance possible: yes, it's going to be bad.It's another comedy podcast packed with weird family revelations, celebrity news, St. Louis nonsense, breakfast envy and questionable workplace decisions. In other words, another completely normal day with The Rizzuto Show.Come for Michael McDonald's surprise son. Stay because you need to know what they're putting through that hole.That's comedy podcast excellence, unfortunately.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.

Dr. Eboni Cornish, MD, of Amen Clinics and ILADS, returns for a third conversation, live in Nashville. She and Dr. Chris Motley talk about Lyme and other tick-borne infections in the brain: anxiety and depression, kids labeled ADHD, puberty flares, mold and memory, and why she calms the brain before treating anything. Plus her best question: when did your symptoms start, and where were you? Sources in the show notes. Educational only, not medical advice. 00:00 Depression, anxiety, and a Lyme test 00:39 Welcome: Dr. Eboni Cornish, live in Nashville  02:20 From bored family doctor to Lyme practice  04:13 How Lyme gets into the brain  06:12 What a Lyme brain looks like on a SPECT scan  08:02 The limbic loop: calm the brain  10:21 Is neurology catching up?  12:30 Floaters, light sensitivity, and trouble reading  14:05 Tinnitus and sound sensitivity  15:08 Can kids have Lyme?

Lyme can reach the nervous system. If you have neurological symptoms and you are not getting better, Dr. Cornish says to put tick-borne disease on the list (5:16).  Calm the brain before you push treatment. Her patients who react to everything are often stuck in fight or flight, a "limbic loop" (9:37). She starts by calming the nervous system.  Kids get labeled. Many of her pediatric patients arrive diagnosed with ADHD or "being bad" (20:50). A sudden change in a child, over days rather than months, is worth asking your pediatrician about by name: PANS. Trade one food, not the whole diet. She asks a reluctant kid for one food that "doesn't love your brain," and trades a supplement off the list in return (25:04). Then she asks AI for realistic swaps a family will actually eat.  Babesia lives in red blood cells. If you have tested positive, don't donate blood. Federal blood-safety rules agree.

The city of Nashville, the global home to country music, is anything but “boring.” That was until Elon Musk's The Boring Company began to dig tunnels underneath it.The first of these tunnel loops is set to go live in about five months and promises to alleviate congestion and make traveling from downtown to the airport simpler. The state is now expanding this project so locals within Nashville can travel from one area to another underground. Let's go through the details of this innovative, new technology together.

On Wednesday, September 30, the State of Tennessee tried to execute Christa Pike. It couldn't.Pike was convicted of the 1995 torture and murder of Colleen Slemmer, a 19-year-old fellow student at the Knoxville Job Corps. After a morning stay from the Sixth Circuit and an evening reversal by the U.S. Supreme Court, she was given two rounds of pentobarbital at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville.According to media witnesses and her lawyers' court filings, she stayed conscious, said her arm felt like it was about to burst open, and was still audibly snoring behind a closed curtain when reporters were walked out. Then the state put her in an ambulance. The Death Penalty Information Center says no one in the U.S. had ever survived after receiving the drugs before.In this emergency episode:The night, minute by minute, from the people who were in the roomThe vein-access warnings Pike's lawyers raised in August, and the Attorney General calling them "speculation"Tony Carruthers in May, Byron Black in 2025, and Tennessee's track recordGovernor Bill Lee's demand that executions be "effective," and his second outside review since 2022The state admitting, six weeks before her date, that Pike was abused as a childColleen Slemmer, her mother May Martinez, and thirty-one years of waiting"What if it were your child?"

So how common is it for the procedure to go wrong?Also in the programme: Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, says the co-pilot responsible for the attack on board a plane bound for Israel had undergone "Islamist radical indoctrination", though he has said it is too early to say if Iran was involved; and what elephants' low-frequency rumbles reveal about their lives.(Photo shows WPLN reporter Catherine Sweeney recounting the planned execution of Christa Pike at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville on September 30, 2026.

#1104 Ever wondered how to build a real business with almost no startup cash — just your personality, a passion, and a good walking route? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Paul Whitten, founder of Nashville Adventures, to break down exactly how he started and scaled a walking tour company from scratch — without a big marketing budget or tons of upfront capital. Paul shares his origin story (from military service to finding his “this doesn't feel like work” calling), how he validated the idea with a soft launch (and a memorable first $40 in tips), and the grassroots tactics that fueled early growth — think chambers of commerce, hotel concierges, and relentless relationship-building. They dig into what actually differentiates a great tour (personalization, entertainment, and making guests feel seen), how to hire guides without losing quality as you scale, why reviews are the lifeblood of the business, and the role SEO, PR, and smart marketing play in building a tour company that can grow toward corporate events, new cities, and potentially even franchising! (Original Air Date - 2/6/26) What we discuss with Paul: + Starting a tour business with little capital + Paul's military-to-entrepreneur journey + The “$40 proof of concept” moment + Partnering with hotel concierges + Chamber of Commerce networking strategy + Making tours personal, not scripted + Hiring guides without losing quality + Reviews as the lifeblood of growth + Learning SEO before outsourcing marketing + Scaling into corporate and private events Thank you, Paul!

Stewart Heath lost 200 units in 2008 by trusting the bank. Now he buys only boring, stabilized commercial real estate.Stewart Heath is a CPA with more than 35 years of experience and a returning RealDealChat guest. Before 2008 he owned about 200 units across Nashville and Franklin, Tennessee, and he let his lenders' approval stand in for his own underwriting. Today his firm buys only stabilized medical office, suburban office, and mixed-use properties along the I-65 corridor from Nashville to Birmingham, using fixed-rate debt and a simple motto: boring is beautiful.

Elon Musk's tunnel projects are more than an unconventional approach to transportation. They offer an interesting look at how innovation, infrastructure and economic activity can connect in ways that ultimately affect all of us. In this episode of PIVOT, Darryl Lyons explores The Boring Company's tunneling projects in Las Vegas, Nashville, Dubai and the potential Austin-to-San Antonio tunnel. He discusses how these projects are being developed, what makes the technology different from traditional transportation systems and how the industries supporting these projects can create broader economic activity. You'll learn: ●      How Elon Musk's interest in underground transportation led to The Boring Company ●      How the Las Vegas tunnel system works ●      What makes tunneling different in places like Las Vegas and Nashville ●      How infrastructure projects create economic activity across multiple industries ●      Why companies involved in construction, energy, manufacturing, technology and other industries can benefit from major infrastructure projects ●      How innovation can create jobs and contribute to broader economic growth ●      What the potential Austin-to-San Antonio tunnel could mean for the region ●      Why thinking long term matters when considering economic innovation and investment As Darryl emphasizes throughout the episode, innovation doesn't happen in isolation. The economic activity surrounding new ideas and infrastructure can have an impact far beyond the project itself. Enjoy the episode?

Henry was asked about facing his former team as a member of the Baltimore Ravens and initially joked that the Titans “shipped me out.” He quickly softened that description and made it clear that there is still love between him and the organization. However, Henry also revealed that Tennessee never offered him an opportunity to return before he signed with Baltimore. Were the Titans wrong to move on without even presenting one of the greatest players in franchise history with an offer? Could Tennessee have retained Henry while transitioning toward a younger roster, or was the split inevitable after the 2023 season? The Derrick Henry conversation arrives as ESPN NFL insiders Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano offer two alarming descriptions of the situation surrounding Cam Ward. Fowler reported that the Titans want to give Ward more time despite his 3-17 record as an NFL starter. However, Tennessee's offensive struggles can test the patience of the front office and locker room for only so long. What does the Titans' internal patience leash actually look like? Is there any realistic scenario in which Ward could be temporarily benched this season, or does Tennessee need to give its young quarterback every possible opportunity to play through his mistakes? Graziano offered an even stronger assessment, describing the situation in Tennessee as being “out of whack” and pointing toward an apparent disconnect between Ward and the Titans' coaching staff or offensive scheme. Easton and JT debate whether that reported disconnect is supported by Ward's play, his public comments and the Titans' offensive results—or whether it represents an overreaction to an 0-3 start. The audience determines where the show begins. Which of these three Titans narratives is most likely the “lie,” meaning the claim that is least supported or potentially most misleading?

In a shocking development, a federal appeals court has stepped in and stopped the execution of 50 year old Christa Pike. Pike would’ve been the first woman in more than 200 years executed by the state of Tennessee, and she had already lost her appeal to the Supreme Court. Governor Bill Lee even announced earlier this week that he would not offer Pike clemency. The federal court wants to review whether Pike’s allegations of childhood sexual abuse and rape were fully considered at her sentencing. The mother of Pike’s victim, Colleen Slemmer had raised money to travel to Nashville to attend Pike’s execution, and has been publicly advocating for her execution for the past three decades.

In this episode, I'm sharing something I recently taught in a live training with a group of brilliant online coaches and entrepreneurs. It's the timeless strategies of subtraction, scaling, and automation that let me run a business without constantly having to reinvent the wheel or physically show up to sell something in order to make money. That, to me, is not the definition of freedom. And it's not the way I roll. I get real about the month my older sister passed away in January 2023, when my business still made $208,000 even though I wasn't in the mood to sell, because my sales system was already built to compound whether I was there or not. I share why I resisted funnels for two full years thinking they were "too bro marketer," how I recently made over $50K on a 10-day Hawaii trip without selling a thing, and the truth about why ads don't work for most people (spoiler: it's not the ad agency, it's the messaging). If you're ready to stop wearing the badge of burnout and finally let automation carry the weight of your business, this episode is your permission slip. Liked this episode?

With a low, lived-in alto that carries heartbreak, anger, restraint, and bite, Elaina brings an honest edge to every song. Born in Cincinnati and raised in Omaha, she found her voice through BluesEd, an audition-only youth program created by the Blues Society of Omaha. She performed dozens of shows each year, won the program's 2019 competition, and traveled to Memphis to perform at B.B. King's during the International Blues Challenge. That early blues influence continues to shape her sound, giving her country and Americana a distinctive grit and emotional weight.Since moving to Nashville, Elaina has built an impressive live presence, averaging more than 70 shows a year and performing at venues and events including The Bluebird Café, 3rd & Lindsley, Whiskey Jam, The Local, and stages across Texas.Her songwriting has earned recognition from the International Songwriting Competition, American Songwriter, the USA Songwriting Competition, and Tin Pan South. Her single “Swing and a Miss” was featured on Nashville's Kickin' Kountry 101 and appears on her debut EP, Leaver, which follows the slow process of seeing a relationship clearly—from trying to hold it together to realizing you can't fix someone who isn't willing to change.In this conversation, we talk about Elaina's journey, her Nashville experience, the stories behind her songs, the influence of the blues on her sound, and how she turns heartbreak, hard truths, and complicated relationships into music that hits home.

You've become very good at being seen. You know how to read a room, how to offer just enough of your story to seem open while keeping the deepest thing safely out of view, how to hand the world a competent, admirable version of yourself. And still, underneath the feed and the applause and the performance you have perfected, there is an ache you can no longer explain away, because you are surrounded and you are not known. In this conversation, Ian Simkins joins me to name the quiet distance between the platform and the table, and to expose how much of our exhaustion is simply the cost of maintaining an image our bodies, our nervous systems, and our spirits were never built to sustain. About Ian Simkins Ian Simkins is the lead pastor of The Bridge Church just outside Nashville, Tennessee, where he lives with his wife, Katie, and their three sons. Shaped for years in ministry in the Chicagoland area before moving his family to Middle Tennessee, he writes and teaches out of the actual life of a local church rather than from theory. His new book, Every Table an Altar: Reclaiming Connection in a World of Division, Distraction, and Loneliness (Zondervan), was born from that community, and it makes the case that the antidote to our disconnection is not another program or platform but the ordinary, sacred practice of gathering at a table.
