President Trump's Executive Order 14,399, “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections” is designed to stop the rampant fraud made efficient by states using universal mail-in ballots—particularly by the mailing (and return) of ballots to persons not legally eligible to vote, such as aliens legal and illegal, persons no longer living in a state, and even dead people. Naturally, the Progressive Fascist Democrats whose political power is based entirely on just these kinds of voting fraud see Trump's efforts as an existential political threat, and so are leveraging their only tool of political power—the unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior, federal district trial court judges—to try to maintain their ability to steal elections by stopping Trump's efforts to stop mail-in ballot fraud. Sure enough, a federal judge came through for the Democrats and issued a remarkable injunction against Trump's executive order, in an effort to delay it's effect past this November's mid-term elections.Now the great and powerful White House Solicitor General John Sauer has appealed the injunction to the US Supreme Court, and I'll be breaking down that argument for all of us in today's show.

A parasite is crawling across 34 states, with thousands of confirmed cases across America. Cyclospora is causing that explosive diarrhea, aka the parasite flu, you've no doubt heard about in the news. In this episode, Dr. Chris Motley lays out the facts about what we know, his best advice for avoiding contamination and your full treatment options from both modern and ancient science. In this episode you'll learn: Cyclospora is a protozoan parasite that can go dormant or activate depending on how strong your immune system is. The gross part: People infected with Cyclospora shed oocysts in their feces which can contaminate food or water. Symptoms to look out for: watery diarrhea that won't go away (this is the big indicator), bone-deep fatigue you can't shake off, explosive bowel movements and loss of appetite. Prevention: Soak your produce thoroughly with an apple cider vinegar and baking soda wash, but most importantly...Cook your produce! Heat kills this parasite. Keep an eye on restaurant reports as much as possible. It's not always possible to know where your favorite restaurant sources its food, but be on the lookout for information about where they get their food and how careful they are with their ingredients. Steps to take if you are potentially infected: Ask to be tested for cyclospora specifically, by name, because it won't be included in routine tests. Treatment options: 1) The antibiotic - it's called TMP - SMX (Trimethoprim - sulfamethoxazole). Brand names are Bactrim or Septra. Standard treatment is a 7 to 10 day course, with longer courses for folks with weakened immune systems. 2) Anti-parasitics - Ivermectin, Fenbendazole 3) Ancient Medicine - Huang Lian is an ancient Chinese herb that cools the gut. Check out the brand Golden Flower. Natural anti-parasitics: Wormwood or Black Walnut: https://shorturl.at/0i5c8 Mimosa Pudica: https://shorturl.at/EPIO0 Morinda: https://shorturl.at/aCP7n You can also try a parasite cleanse.

Why This Episode MattersThe Guys taste ʻŌkolehao, a nearly lost Hawaiian spirit made from kī root, and explore its unusual history and revival.Why Michelin retired its Green Star—and why judging sustainability is far more complicated than judging what arrives at the table.The economic problem facing bars devoted exclusively to non-alcoholic cocktails.A simple way to uncover better bottles and better values when restaurant wine-list prices are climbing.The BanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott welcome two of their favorite guests: each other.Longtime listener Kelvin sends the Guys bottle number 125 of 150 from an early release of Ola ʻŌkolehao. They taste the Hawaiian spirit, find notes reminiscent of Scotch and Irish whiskey and dig into its history from its roots in Native Hawaiian culture to its disappearance and modern revival.Naturally, a discussion of spirits aged while being agitated at sea gives Mark an opening Francis never sees coming.The ConversationThe Guys begin with Michelin's decision to retire the Green Star. Recognizing restaurants for responsible sourcing and sustainable practices may be admirable, but Francis and Mark question whether such broad claims can be verified with the same confidence as food, service and the guest experience. That leads to a larger debate about Michelin's expanding reach, changing standards and whether professional restaurant critics still matter in the age of online reviews.Next, they consider the wave of mocktail-only bars and why so many have struggled to stay open. Both believe serious non-alcoholic drinks belong on every good cocktail list, but Mark questions whether a venue serving only zero-proof cocktails can compete economically with restaurants, traditional bars and coffee shops already serving the same audience.Finally, Francis shares a useful restaurant wine hack discovered in Aspen. When the bottle list starts at an uncomfortable price, look at the wines offered by the glass. Ask how many glasses the restaurant pours from a bottle and whether you can order a full bottle of one of those selections. You may find a more interesting wine at a substantially better price.Mark then reveals he has been using essentially the same strategy with pizza since the 1980s.Timestamps00:00 Tasting the revived Hawaiian spirit ʻŌkolehao05:35 The history, disappearance and return of ʻŌkolehao12:15 Why Michelin retired the Green Star16:25 Is Michelin diluting its restaurant standards?19:00 Can mocktail-only bars survive?26:20 Rising restaurant wine prices and the by-the-glass bottle hack31:20 Mark's remarkably similar pizza hackInfoOla ʻŌkolehao Distillery https://thespiritofhawaii.com/Restaurant Guys' Regulars https://restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com/If you want a chance to get two tickets to our Bourbon, Beer & Beefsteak and live recording with Sother Teague and Jack McGarry in New Orleans on July 21, 2026,sign up to be a Restaurant Guys Regular (our paid subscribers) here https://restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com/ Then email TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com.

This week, Mitch dives right into a chaotic sequel to last week's episode, pitching a dystopian game show where you gamble your actual lifespan for wishes. Then, we take it a step further and imagine a world where McDonald's runs a lethal survival show. Naturally, all this dark talk reminds us of our own glory days and a brutal Cap'n Crunch eating contest that absolutely destroyed the roofs of our mouths. We also get into some fascinating science and cultural deep dives, unpacking how neuroplasticity proves our brains are way more resilient than our high school health teachers claimed. We question whether the government is intentionally fueling the Gen X vs. Millennial feud to keep us from teaming up against the system, and look at how the new Little House on the Prairie remake is casually exposing massive historical corporate corruption. Finally, we wrap things up with a look at California politics and Gavin Newsom's move to return coastal land to local tribes for a major casino and tourism boost.

In this episode of the ZenRUN Podcast, I chat with the wonderfully adventurous Jos Middleton - mental health leader, ultra runner, traveller, volunteer, reluctant road marathoner and someone who seems genetically incapable of doing anything by halves. Jos grew up in Scarborough in the north of England, surfing in the freezing North Sea, playing sport and dreaming of one day living in Australia. Her early adventures weren't exactly uneventful. At just 13, Jos broke two bones and fractured and displaced another in her neck after hitting a sandbar while surfing. She somehow paddled back to shore, sat on the beach for several hours, carried half the family's belongings back to the car - and only then went to hospital. Years later, a climbing fall at the You Yangs left her with three fractures in her heel, four pins and weeks unable to walk. Two enormous accidents. Two reminders that Jos is very lucky to be both alive and moving. And moving is something she has always loved. Jos trained as a mental health nurse after growing up in a rather unusual home - quite literally inside the nursing home her mum purchased so she could care for Jos's father, who had Alzheimer's disease. After moving to Australia in 2009, Jos spent five years working in Melbourne before heading off with her partner to find “Australia”. They lived in a tent, climbed, mountain biked, worked on sheep stations and travelled their way around the country. While working on a remote South Australian property, a farmer told Jos that he believed she had saved his life. Jos hadn't been consciously working as a mental health nurse. She had simply spent time beside him, listened, helped and joined him in the daily work of the property. That experience planted the seed for what would become Jos's career in rural and remote mental health. Today, she leads a mental health and wellbeing program across Far North Queensland, with a strong focus on supporting First Nations communities. So where does running fit into all of this? Jos arrived at running later. A few occasional parkruns and a relaxed 21-kilometre trail “picnic with friends” eventually led to plans to travel to Sierra Leone and complete a half marathon. COVID stopped the trip - but it didn't stop the ripple effect. Instead, Jos and her friends created Makeways Foundation (https://makewaysfoundation.org/) , which collects second-hand sporting clothing and equipment from around Australia and sends it to Sierra Leone. The foundation has now shipped multiple containers, opened Sierra Leone's first second-hand sportswear store, employed local staff and a running coach, supported young athletes and created running opportunities within local communities. Last year, Jos finally made it to Sierra Leone and completed the marathon alongside the people the foundation supports. And because Jos doesn't do things by halves, her first ultramarathon wasn't exactly a gentle local event. She chose the 50-kilometre Simpson Desert Ultra in Birdsville. Naturally. Since then, Jos has completed events including Three Marathons in Three Days, Run Larapinta, Surf Coast Century, Margaret River Ultra, Kuranda to Port Douglas, the Sierra Leone Marathon and the Wheelbarrow Race - an event where competitors push an empty wheelbarrow over multiple days. She is now stepping temporarily away from the trails after “falling into” the Melbourne Marathon ballot, while also dreaming of taking on Marathon des Sables in 2028. We talk about adventure, running later in life, surviving injuries, fitting training around constant work travel, the Cairns heat, strength training, community and why Jos wants to continue running forever. Jos's approach to events is wonderfully refreshing. She isn't chasing a particular placing or allowing a finishing time to determine whether the experience was worthwhile. She wants to enjoy the adventure, dig deep, feel grateful for every step and bring some joy to the experience. And when things become difficult? Jos doesn't want to quit while sitting comfortably in the chair. She wants to stand up and give it another go - even if she only manages two more steps. Jos's Running Tips Plan around real life Jos travels regularly for work, so she asks for her training plan early and works out where each session can realistically fit. She packs her running gear before travelling rather than hoping an opportunity appears. Include strength work When knee pain appeared during a run, Jos realised she had a choice: ignore it and potentially follow a path of ongoing problems, or actively strengthen her body. She now includes personal training, physio exercises and strength sessions alongside her running. Find the right support Working with a coach who understood injury recovery helped Jos rebuild her running and improve her form. Be flexible when injured Running is important to Jos, but it isn't her entire identity. When she can't run, she cycles or finds another way to move rather than believing everything has been taken away. Stop comparing hot-weather pace Running through a Cairns summer slows Jos down, but she reminds herself that the conditions are temporary. Training in the heat can also create an endurance advantage when racing in cooler conditions. Choose an experience-based goal Rather than judging every event by time or placing, Jos focuses on enjoying the adventure, embracing the challenge, digging deep and finding gratitude along the way. Stay grateful for movement Jos's body has been through some enormous challenges. Even when it struggles, she remains grateful that it continues to let her move, explore and run. Pass the Baton Jos answers Nagiska Mayes's question: “When you eventually look back on your running life, what's one thing you'd love to know you gave a go - whether it's a race, a challenge, an experience, or something deeply personal?” Her answer takes us into backyard ultra thinking, endurance and why she never wants to quit while still sitting in the chair. Jos then passes a thoughtful new question to the next ZenRUN Podcast guest. What did she ask? You'll need to listen to the episode to find out. This is a beautiful conversation about running, adventure, community, purpose and what can happen when we remain curious enough to keep giving things a go.

Our analysts Andrew Sheets and Mark Schmidt unpack why U.S. healthcare feels so expensive and the potential impacts of rising hospital costs.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Global Head of Fixed Income Research at Morgan Stanley. Mark Schmidt: And I'm Mark Schmidt, Head of Municipal Strategy at Morgan Stanley. Andrew Sheets: And today on the program, a discussion into one of the biggest mysteries in one of the biggest sectors of the economy. We're talking about healthcare costs. It's Friday, July 17th at 2pm in London. Mark Schmidt: At 9am in New York. Andrew Sheets: So, we're talking today about healthcare, which represents roughly a fifth of the U.S. economy, the bulk of job creation over the last several years, and in my view, honestly, one of the biggest inflation paradoxes that we see in the market. On the one hand, the high cost of healthcare is taken as a given, and it's something that many Americans still struggle with financially. But if you look at the official inflation data in the U.S., healthcare costs have been lower than normal, and that's been true now for a number of years. So, what's going on? How do we tie this together? And Mark, you just wrote a report that tries to do exactly that. So, what did you hope to accomplish with this report? Mark Schmidt: You're absolutely right. It's hard to underline enough just how large healthcare is to the U.S. economy overall. Americans spend nearly $6 trillion on healthcare. That's more than the GDP of the entire country of Germany. And if we think about prices, Americans pay more. A knee replacement, for example, costs $25,000 in the United States. That same procedure costs just $6,000 in France. Common heart treatments that would cost $3,000 in Germany or $10,000 in Australia cost $34,000 in the U.S. It also matters for everyone's local community. Healthcare jobs have been growing twice as fast as the rate of job growth in the economy overall. And those are good jobs. They pay above average wages. For many Americans these days, the most secure path to the middle class is a career in healthcare. Now, this may seem a little bit arcane, but it probably hits close to your portfolio as well. Earlier in the year, when we took a look at how equity separately managed accounts invest, they typically have a core overweight to healthcare. And even though American prices may seem like an American issue, many of the largest and most profitable healthcare companies in the world are actually headquartered in Europe. So, whether you're sitting in New York or sitting in London, the price of American healthcare probably matters to you. But as you noted, Andrew, it does feel like a paradox because although Americans cite healthcare costs as one of their top concerns, and although healthcare spending is growing at 6 percent a year or more, the official inflation data says that healthcare prices are in check. And at one point earlier in the year, healthcare inflation, according to official data, even dipped below 3 percent. It just didn't make a lot of sense, and that's why we got together with our colleagues across equities, fixed income research, public policy, and economics to dig into what was actually going on. Andrew Sheets: So, Mark, let's dig right into that. I mean, it seems like a perfect encapsulation of the so-called Main Street versus Wall Street perception of the economy. So, what's going on? How does one kind of square those two numbers? Mark Schmidt: The easiest way to understand it is that you can't walk through a grocery store and figure out the price of a knee replacement. And that's true both for you and me. It's also true for the government. They have to survey hospitals and health insurance companies. The trouble is that the prices that health insurance companies pay hospitals, well, those are trade secrets. So, at any given point in time, even for the best government economists, it's not entirely clear what the price trends are. And that's why when you look at the official data, healthcare inflation typically has relatively lumpy jumps in the series. You could see several months of 0.1 or 0.2 percent official growth in healthcare inflation. Or as earlier this week, you could see certain categories jump to 0.4 or even 0.8. Andrew Sheets: Another element, Mark, that you talked about in the report is that people are also consuming more healthcare. So, talk a little bit about that. How that factors into this dynamic, and again, is that just going to be the new normal as the population ages and we tend to spend more on healthcare as we get older? Mark Schmidt: That's right. The good news is that we're living longer lives. The bad news is that means that we have more chronic healthcare conditions to deal with. The good news is that more procedures can be done in outpatient settings, and those, generally speaking, are cheaper. The bad news is that inpatient care, inpatient prices go up as the complexity of procedures that actually happen in a hospital setting increase significantly. When you balance it all out, it's a situation where, thankfully, the United States and most Americans have the means and the wealth to pay more for healthcare. The flip side of that is that they are paying more for healthcare, and that's why we think that the recent softness in healthcare inflation is actually too good to be true. Andrew Sheets: Something that jumped out at me from this report, Mark, was just how important hospitals are in this equation. And the experience of the patient and the experience of the hospital can be different economically. And that difference can also matter for how this shows up in official inflation and government statistics.So, you know, it would be helpful maybe just to walk the listener through. If I go into the hospital and I need knee surgery. You know, how does that look like from my perspective in terms of paying for it, assuming I have health insurance through my employer? How could that look like to the hospital? And how could that look like coming out the other end into the official government statistics? Mark Schmidt: Well, of course, Andrew, the first thing that you do when you break your leg is you call six hospitals and shop around for the cheapest price, right? Andrew Sheets: [Laughs] Of course. Mark Schmidt: So that's actually the problem because when you get care, you're not in a place to ask about the price. And frankly, even if you asked your doctor or nurse what the price is, they probably wouldn't know. Not only is it not their job to know the price, but all of those negotiations happen after the fact – with the prices that the insurance companies negotiate with the hospitals. After COVID, hospitals had a lot more costs to spread out among the people who were coming in the door, and so they raised prices across the board, not just for procedures that were related to respiratory illness. Naturally, insurance companies noticed that, and they started to push back. So long after you get a cast for your broken leg – and by the way, I wish you a speedy recovery – insurance companies end up going back and forth negotiating with your doctors for exactly how much they should pay you. And although these prices were loosely set well before you walked in the door, the exact way it gets billed and coded? Well, let's just say there's a lot of back and forth. For a well-run hospital, the cost of talking to and ultimately getting reimbursement from your insurance company, that alone could be 2 to 4 percent of revenue. And in especially complex cases, that whole negotiation can eat up 5 to 7 percent of the total bill. You're also right to flag that hospitals really are still the central point of the U.S. healthcare system. Americans spend $2 trillion in a hospital setting. And hospitals overwhelmingly coordinate care for both primary, specialty, and pharmacy services. Andrew Sheets: Mark, another issue I wanted to ask you about was the Affordable Care Act, Medicare, Medicaid, and how those programs fit into the story? Mark Schmidt: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act included a variety of measures to slow the overall growth rate of healthcare. Now, for all the reasons we just discussed, that's probably warranted. The Affordable Care Act is another wrinkle. Enhanced subsidies, which were already set to expire – did in fact expire at the end of last year. And as a result, more Americans are now uninsured. It remains to be seen how that impacts overall costs. In the United States, when you have a health emergency, a hospital is legally obligated to treat you because of a 1990s law called EMTALA. Even if you can't pay, the system eventually does. Historically, uncompensated care costs have been passed on to individuals and companies with insurance. For now, however, it remains to be seen whether these changes in law and in the overall number of people with insurance will cause healthcare prices to rise or fall. Andrew Sheets: And Mark, just for the broad-based implications of this, right? It's fair to say that in any health insurance system, there are some people who consume a lot more healthcare. They're unhealthy or they're unlucky. And there are some who consume a lot less. And, you know, this is something where that overall coverage question matters. Because if you have things that reduce the number of otherwise healthy people who are in those healthcare pools, it can raise the cost for everybody else. Those people who were in some ways subsidizing the higher consumers of healthcare are no longer there. Is that a fair way to frame it, do you think? And are there potential changes given some of these legislative actions that could lead to changes of what the pool looks like – and what overall costs could look like? Mark Schmidt: That's a great point. And healthcare is probably the only part of our economy where you would say, "Thank goodness I did not get my money's worth." As we think about it… Andrew Sheets: [Laughs] Very true. Very true. Mark Schmidt: As we think about it, most young and healthy people are going to be paying more for their health insurance than they receive in healthcare. Again, that's a good thing. Because American healthcare prices are so much higher than anywhere else in the world, paying in more than you get back? Well, that hits the wallet harder in America than it does in other countries. And that's why for many people – choice – choosing how much health insurance to have and how much to pay for it, really is central to keeping the American economy dynamic. The flip side, however, is that as Americans get older, more people have Medicare. Now, Medicare is pretty good if you have it. But the catch is that Medicare prices, according to most independent estimates, do not fully reimburse for the cost of care. So, as more seniors take up more beds in a hospital, that means that commercial prices, the prices for people who have private insurance through their employer, are likely to rise even faster. Andrew Sheets: So, Mark, I think a good place to close it out and kind of bring this all together is a really important conclusion of this report – is that hospitals have been absorbing a number of these rising costs of healthcare through lower margins for the hospital. And that has resulted in lower ultimate inflation because the inflation is measured out the other side, out ultimately what the hospital earns. And if you could just maybe talk a little bit more about that. To what extent have those margins been compressed? And what that might mean for things going forward? Mark Schmidt: That's right. We dug into the finances for hundreds of not-for-profit hospitals in the United States. They are facing higher costs and shrinking margins. Historically, hospitals have partially passed on expense increases of this magnitude. Now, in their conversations with insurance companies, the biggest benchmark setting of prices happens once every two to three years. So, we're not going to see hospital prices show up in the inflation data overnight. But when we look at hospitals across the country, their budget information and their guidance is consistent with firming prices. Andrew Sheets: Great. Thank you so much, Mark. I've really enjoyed the conversation. Mark Schmidt: Thanks for having me, Andrew. Andrew Sheets: And thank you for listening.

In the Haute Seat, our unforgettable conversation with Katie Ginella delivers everything Bravo fans could ask for: shocking Housewives revelations, celebrity encounters, fashion critiques, and some of the funniest moments we've had in the studio. We kick things off diving into Katie's obsession with RuPaul and the impact that RuPaul's Drag Race has had on generations of people who simply wanted to feel accepted. We swap stories about attending the very first RuPaul's Drag Race premiere party, where RuPaul himself was hilariously denied entry because he wasn't in drag and had forgotten his ID. From Lady Bunny to backstage moments at Drag Race, Katie gushes over the icon who changed the world for millions. Naturally, the conversation spirals into pop culture, with Madonna's legendary habit of showing up hours late to concerts, George Michael becoming Katie's nine-year-old son's newest obsession, and Katie sharing details about her new podcast, Bravo's Most Wanted, which she launched after initially developing a different show with Monica Garcia from Salt Lake City before teaming up with Jamie Rice. We also reveal that years before Modern Family, Bravo passed on our own pilot, Designer Family, because executives didn't believe audiences were ready to watch two gay men raising a teenage daughter in Beverly Hills. Looking back now, it feels unbelievable. Katie gets candid about how reality television affected her children, revealing that her daughter received death threats after being targeted online and that filming RHOC took an emotional toll on the entire family. We also get the inside scoop on Kylie auditioning for Love Island and whether Katie's kids would ever join a “Next Gen OC.” Then comes one of the biggest bombshells of the episode: we reveal that we were among the very first people to witness the beginnings of Scandoval while filming Scheana Shay's wedding in Cancun. We recount seeing Tom Schwartz kiss Raquel Leviss on camera before later spotting Tom Sandoval kissing her off camera—long before the scandal exploded across the Bravo universe. Katie is left absolutely stunned by the story. The Housewives tea continues as Katie opens up about her biggest regrets from Orange County, admitting that she wishes she had stood up for herself more instead of trying to keep the peace. She addresses misconceptions that she is a liar, talks about the difference between “show friends” and “real friends,” and explains why she believes much of modern reality television has become performative. The mood shifts when SnowWhite90210 finally returns from the groomer and instantly steals the spotlight. Between puppy talk, frozen dog sperm, and plans for Mochi's future puppies, things take a hilariously unexpected turn. Katie also opens up about one of the most emotional chapters of her life: being adopted from Korea as a baby. She shares her complicated feelings about eventually meeting her birth mother, revealing that she simply wants to thank the woman who gave her a chance at the life she has today. We discuss identity, belonging, and the deep love Katie found with her husband Matt after surviving an allegedly abusive first marriage. As we head into Runway Rundown, Katie weighs in on the latest RHOC cast photos, revealing her favorite looks from Shannon Beador, Tamra Judge, and Vicki Gunvalson while hilariously critiquing the gowns worn by Emily Simpson, Gina Kirschenheiter, Jen Pedranti, and newcomer Carmella GarciaPol' gives his expert couture opinions, breaking down why quality and custom tailoring matter at every age. Throughout the episode, Katie remains refreshingly honest about the realities of Housewives fame, the friendships she misses, the betrayals she still struggles with, and whether she would ever return to RHOC. Between RuPaul, Madonna, Ariana Madix, Scheana Shay, Tom Sandoval, Raquel Leviss, Sutton Stracke, Vicki Gunvalson, and SnowWhite90210, the Haute Seat is packed with unforgettable moments and enough Bravo tea to keep fans talking until her Armenian coffee reading.

This week, Rabbi Ari Lamm joins Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver to discuss the biblical idea of election or chosenness. Rabbi Lamm has argued that Genesis itself is a long sequence of choosing and rejection—Adam over the animals, Abel over Cain, Isaac over Ishmael, Jacob over Esau—and that the Bible never once tells us why. We learn how God assesses a life after the fact; we are never shown the reasoning behind the choice itself. One midrash even imagines Abraham chosen by lottery. Rabbi Lamm suggests that this silence is deliberate: chosenness is a mystery, an acknowledgment of the limitations of human understanding. Naturally, the subject of chosenness has long been discussed within the Jewish tradition, and Rabbi Lamm focuses on the debate between Judah Halevi and Moses Maimonides about whether divine election is earned or something carried through inheritance. With this in mind, the conversation turns to the theological puzzle facing 17th-century English Christians: should Israel in Scripture be understood as the church or as the actual, literal, Jewish people? And once some concluded it meant the latter, an old theological problem became a new and productive one. Rabbi Menasseh ben Israel, the great Amsterdam sage at the center of that story, offered European thinkers a way to hold Jewish particularity and universal natural law together rather than against each other, and in doing so shaped the political thought of a nation. The conversation expands on themes Rabbi Lamm explored in his 2025 Sapir essay, "The Rebirth of Chosenness."

In this episode, Sabine sits down with Fiona Whitmore to talk about her book Barefoot Enlightenment — and what it really means to be "naturally enlightened." Fiona shares how we all begin in a state of unconscious enlightenment, the wholeness we're born into as children, before life's struggles and disruptions pull us away from it. But those very struggles, she explains, become the path back — not away from enlightenment, but toward consciously inhabiting it. No one has more or less enlightenment than anyone else; the only difference is how aware we are of the light we already carry. It's a conversation about remembering rather than achieving, and about how the hardest parts of our lives can become the doorway home. You can find this book on Amazon and Kindle. www.earthtriberadio.comwww.barefootenlightenment.comwww.fionawhitmore.com

My dear friends, pray draw a little closer to the fire and prepare yourselves for an evening of dark mystery and Hammer Horror excellence. This week on the Scary Spirits Podcast, hosts Karen and Greg commemorate the anniversary of the theatrical release of the classic 1971 Hammer Films masterpiece, Hands of the Ripper, which first shocked audiences on July 15, 1972 in the United States. With the careful examination of devoted horror historians and the enthusiasm of true connoisseurs of the macabre, Karen and Greg delve into this chilling tale inspired by the sinister legacy of Jack the Ripper. Together, they explore the film's haunting atmosphere, memorable performances, Victorian-era terror, and the unique place it occupies within the celebrated Hammer Horror canon. Naturally, no investigation into such dark proceedings would be complete without proper refreshment. As the shadows lengthen, our hosts raise a glass of the appropriately themed “Bloody Dark & Stormy” cocktail, a devilishly delicious concoction crafted to complement the film's brooding mood and blood-soaked mystery. Whether you are a lifelong admirer of Hammer Horror films, a collector of classic British horror cinema, or simply searching for your next horror movie podcast, this episode offers an entertaining journey into one of Hammer’s most intriguing and underrated gems. Join us for a captivating discussion filled with suspense, horror history, and spirited cocktails as we celebrate Hands of the Ripper—a film that continues to cast a long and unsettling shadow over the genre more than five decades later.

To finish, slowly drizzle the grenadine or cassis directly over the top—it will sink through the dark rum layer like a thread of blood. A Brief Synopsis: As a young child, Jack the Ripper’s daughter witnesses him kill her mother. As a young woman, she carries on the murderous reign of her father. A psychiatrist tries to cure her with tragic consequences. Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include: We learn about the history of “stag” parties.

What does it actually look like to heal from Hashimoto's using a root-cause approach? In this inspiring client spotlight episode of The Well Nourished Mama Podcast, Brooke sits down with her client, Beth Farnsworth, to share Beth's remarkable journey from debilitating fatigue and frustrating postpartum health struggles to putting her Hashimoto's disease into remission. After being diagnosed with Hashimoto's, Beth knew she wanted more than simply managing symptoms. Together, Brooke and Beth discuss the personalized approach they used to uncover the root causes behind her autoimmune condition through comprehensive functional testing, targeted nutrition, mineral balancing, and sustainable lifestyle changes. Beth shares what it felt like to navigate the uncertainty of an autoimmune diagnosis, the breakthroughs she experienced throughout her healing journey, and how addressing her body's foundational needs transformed not only her thyroid health, but her energy, digestion, resilience, and overall quality of life.

The Interstellar (2014) Movie Review has finally landed on Born to Watch, the movie review podcast where we don't take ourselves or the movies too seriously, and this week Whitey, Damo and the G-Man strap themselves into the Endurance to tackle one of Christopher Nolan's most ambitious films.Love it, hate it, or spend three hours trying to figure out what a tesseract actually is, there's no denying that Interstellar is one of the most talked-about science fiction films ever made.Starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine and an unforgettable surprise appearance from Matt Damon, Interstellar blends emotional family drama with mind-bending science in a way very few films have attempted before. Black holes, wormholes, time dilation, gravity, fifth dimensions and Hans Zimmer's thunderous score all combine to create a cinematic experience unlike anything else.The boys break down whether Christopher Nolan's space epic deserves its place among the greatest films ever made or asks just a little too much of its audience.Whitey shares why this remains one of the most emotional cinema experiences of his life and admits that even after multiple viewings, he still discovers new details every time. Damo dives deep into the science behind the film, the incredible soundtrack from Hans Zimmer and why this is a movie that rewards repeat watches.

Bob uses U.S. economic history, centering on the greenback era, to work through some subtle but important distinctions in Austrian monetary theory. He also addresses whether free-market economies have a natural tendency toward price deflation under a commodity standard, why the stock-versus-flow distinction matters for understanding gold production and the price level, and how to distinguish "bad" policy-induced monetary deflation from the "good" price deflation that accompanies genuine productivity growth.Related:Patrick Newman, "The Depression of 1873-1879: An Austrian Perspective": Mises.org/HAP558aClarence Long, "The Course of Money Wages during 1860-1890": Mises.org/HAP558bBob's Understanding Money Mechanics: Mises.org/HAP558cBob's Article, "Hayek's Plan for Private Money": Mises.org/HAP558dThe Charts Shown in this Episode: Mises.org/HAP558e
Read the Instructions | Proverbs 13 Wisdom That Could Save You Years of FrustrationHave you ever ignored the instructions because you thought, "I've got this," only to realize later that the mistake was completely avoidable? In this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we're diving into Proverbs 13, where timeless biblical wisdom teaches us why following instructions, seeking wise counsel, staying humble, and applying what we learn can transform every area of our lives.I have to confess something...When Brooklyn and I moved to Carlsbad, our kids were little enough to sleep in bunk beds, so we headed to IKEA to pick one up. Like every responsible dad, I carefully laid out every piece, organized every screw, and diligently read every page of the instructions...Yeah... not even close.I skimmed the instructions just enough to get started. Once I felt confident, my ego whispered those dangerous words:"I got this."Everything seemed perfect until I reached the very last piece.It didn't fit.Naturally, I did what any mature adult would do...I blamed IKEA.Surely they forgot a part.After a few minutes of frustration, I swallowed my pride, went back to the instructions, and discovered the truth.Every piece was there.Every step was there.The only thing missing......was my willingness to keep reading and applying what was already in front of me.That lesson has followed me far beyond building furniture.Proverbs 13 reminds us that wisdom isn't just hearing truth—it's applying it.In this episode we talk about:Why following instructions is a sign of wisdom, not weakness.How pride quietly convinces us we don't need guidance.Why wise counsel always beats isolated confidence.The power of diligence over laziness.Why successful people talk about ideas while unsuccessful people spend their time talking about people.How "Big hat, no cattle" is still one of the best leadership lessons I've ever heard.Why doing the right thing in the dark eventually shines in the light.Why Inchstones always become milestones.Protecting hope at all costs.Building an inheritance that lasts for future generations.Stopping comparison and starting praise.One of my favorite reminders from my Pops was:"Walk with the wise and become wise."The older I get, the more I realize Mama and Pops weren't just giving advice.They were leaving me an inheritance.An inheritance of wisdom.And that inheritance only has value if I actually apply it.So before you assume you already know the next step...pause.Read the instructions.Then live them.If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who needs the reminder that humility isn't thinking less of yourself—it's being willing to learn.Remember...Speak Life.Your words create worlds.

There are lots of ways to get our music ready for the holidays. Yes, I know it's only July and we have months to prepare, but that's actually the point. You could wait until the week before your first Christmas gig in December to practice your music, and I have to say that there were times in the past that was my strategy. As you might imagine, it isn't a course of action I'd recommend. Or you could try the standard Christmas in July method. You learn your holiday music in the summer and then try to hang onto it until the holidays eventually come around. Granted, it's a much better plan than waiting until December, but as a preparation strategy it leaves a lot to be desired. If you've learned your music by the time summer ends, what do you do with it for the next three months? Naturally, there are a lot of different approaches you could take, and some of those are going to feel more natural to you than others, just based on your personal practice preferences. There are external influences that might play a role as well. For instance, perhaps this is the year that you have ben asked to play Britten's Ceremony of Carols for the first time. The difficulty and scope of this piece will require a more focused approach than standard church or party holiday music. While I used to be fairly undisciplined in my approach to my own holiday repertoire preparation - and believe me, I paid the price for it more than once - I am unwilling to let my students suffer the same way. So I have a few "always" ground rules and a couple of "never" caveats that I try to share with them. These have their roots in my own learning the hard way. However, I also have a system that seems to work pretty well for most of my students. The odd thing is that I haven't really told any of them about it. We've used the system but I've never given it a name before. So here it is, making its official debut: my 5-4-4-3 plan for holiday music preparation. My students will recognize it, or at least most of it, and I hope this will organize more clearly what we have talked about already. If you haven't studied with me, I'm happy to share this with you for the first time ever.

Our pets rely on us to make the best choices for their health—but how do we know what's truly best?

In today's episode, my client Alessandra returns to share the raw, deeply personal evolution of her fertility journey, from the heartbreak of loss and a long road through IVF to the unexpected surprise of conceiving naturally when she least expected it. Today, we peel back the layers of what it really looks like to move through grief, release control, and rebuild trust in your body after everything you thought would work didn't. We also explore the contrast between her two pregnancies, her first marked by intense medical intervention, anxiety, and physical strain, and the second unfolding with more ease, fewer symptoms, and a completely different emotional landscape. This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing isn't linear, outcomes aren't always predictable, and with the right support and foundational shifts, your story can change in ways you never imagined.

There are normal Thursday shows...Then there's whatever this was.Moon returns from Alabama after spending quality family time driving a boat like every dad whose only mission is launching kids off an inflatable tube at unsafe-but-technically-safe speeds. The gang debates whether tubing is childhood fun or simply a cleverly disguised upper-body endurance test that ends with someone losing a shoulder.Then the news takes a hard left.A St. Louis man is arrested... again... for throwing rocks off an overpass. Naturally, the conversation somehow turns into train hopping, small-town childhood crimes, and whether this guy secretly missed his calling as a major league pitcher.Just when you think we've hit peak weird...A man cuts off his own anatomy, sets it on fire, accidentally burns down a garage, and somehow gets arrested for arson. We wish we were making that sentence up.If that isn't enough nightmare fuel, the crew reacts to one of the wildest aviation stories ever: a flight instructor who simply opens the door mid-flight, tells his student "keep moving forward," and jumps out of the airplane. The student still lands safely because apparently she's the calmest human alive.We also revisit the unbelievable Tesla cliff case where an entire family survived a 300-foot plunge, discuss bizarre Florida drug smuggling excuses, debate irrational fears of tiny airplanes, celebrate another official case of Rafe's famous "butthole lightning," and somehow manage to squeeze in movie nostalgia, Culkin conspiracy theories, food news, and enough sarcasm to power St. Louis for a week.It's the kind of episode where every new story somehow becomes even more unbelievable than the last—which, honestly, is exactly how we like our mornings.If you're looking for a comedy podcast filled with ridiculous news, hilarious commentary, questionable life advice, and a group of friends trying to make sense of absolute chaos, you've found today's episode.Whether you're listening at work, driving through STL traffic, or pretending to be productive, thanks for hanging out with us for another comedy podcast full of laughs, bizarre headlines, and the kind of conversations absolutely nobody else is having.Welcome back to another comedy podcast 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/RizzShowSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

That somehow launches the crew into debating whether they should road-trip to this year's Gathering of the Juggalos in Missouri... where they immediately learn one important survival tip:The crew debates camping versus hotels, Clownvis as the official Juggalo ambassador, RV road trips, and whether anyone could profit from wearing latex gloves and collecting contaminated cash. Honestly? It somehow becomes one of the most educational segments we've ever done.We rank the whitest phrases ever spoken ("News flash, buddy." "Get a load of this guy." "Ready Freddy."), dive into celebrity news featuring Bon Jovi's return to the stage, Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley, Taylor Swift wedding conspiracy theories that somehow become a thousand-dollar bet, Luke Wilson becoming a first-time dad at 54, Shark Tank's newest guest sharks, Dune Part Three hype, Netflix's upcoming fried chicken documentary, MK Ultra documentaries, the worst movies ever made, and the latest Emmy nominations.The gang also pays tribute to Bonnie Tyler, debates whether Andie MacDowell is "stunning" or merely "a smoke show," and somehow finds time to invent another ridiculous punishment involving dressing like television characters for an entire week.Gathering of the Juggalos survival guideWhat exactly is a Poop Dollar?Celebrity gossip & entertainment newsBonnie Tyler tributeEmmy bet punishment announcedTaylor Swift wedding conspiracy continuesBirthday celebrations for RizCrap on CelebritiesPassword game chaosMidwest debates imaginable: sunflower selfies. The crew talks about the massive sunflower fields at Columbia Bottom Conservation Area, why everyone suddenly needs the perfect golden-hour Instagram picture, and the unspoken rules of not becoming "that person" who picks the flowers. Because apparently the unofficial sunflower police are real.Then things take a sharp turn when the gang talks about one of the strangest safety stories we've heard in a while. Kids are putting those squishy sensory toys in microwaves... and the results are genuinely terrifying. Riz shares a story that's equal parts public service announcement and "please don't let your children discover science this way."Meanwhile, Rizz is running on absolutely nothing because he's preparing for wisdom tooth surgery immediately after the show. No breakfast. No coffee. Questionable hydration. You can practically hear the hunger affecting his decision-making throughout the episode... especially once the games begin.And speaking of games...Rizz Show Password completely unravels in spectacular fashion.What should have been a straightforward round somehow becomes one of the funniest train wrecks in recent memory. One password somehow requires references to Harper Lee, books, movies, lawyers, and eventually complete surrender before anyone lands on "Mockingbird." Then everyone immediately forgets how clues work all over again.Watching the crew try to stay calm while the guesses drift further away from reality is exactly why this daily comedy show has become part of so many morning routines. The frustration is real. The sarcasm is relentless.

When we are under the influence of the Holy Spirit, our very character changes. From within, we become different. Girl, you’re simply not who you once were. Have you noticed as you change and grow it almost puts a spotlight on our loved ones who are NOT. Maybe someone you love is NOT under the influence of the Holy Spirit and they seem to be stuck in old way … well, they are. When you invite the presence of God into your life HE makes you new. 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” This means if someone DOESN’T belong to Christ, they’re still the same old person living the same life. Their answer is not to try harder – their answer is to surrender their life to Jesus and let the Holy Spirit change them from within! So, here we are as surrendered souls being made new. We’re being reworked from the inside so we’re becoming different, growing different fruit in our lives. Naturally, when the inside has changed, the outside begins to change as well. Today we study the next fruit produced in our life under the influence of the Holy Spirit – GOODNESS. The Greek word translated into goodness has a root word meaning good, upright and excellent. When the suffix is added, it turns into a character trait. The full meaning of this word “goodness” means to have moral excellence, an upright heart, integrity and goodness in action. And where does this goodness come from? Only ONE source – this is God’s goodness flowing through us. This is not self-produced goodness. This isn’t a 10 step program to change your heart and realign your morals. This isn’t being kind, doing nice things, changing your morals – this is God himself expressing HIS character through your surrendered life. This is simply the goodness of God himself dwelling within, transforming you, and then naturally flowing out from you. When you surrender your life to God, HE makes you good. If you’re struggling with a twisted heart or mind, there’s ONE who is in the business of untwisting – that’s the work of the Holy Spirit. And every single one of us have gotten a little twisted. Life in this world has a way of doing that. Human nature is a twisting. We simply can’t live well without God’s influence and direction. This is NEVER a matter of you being a better person than someone else – this is always a matter of God’s almighty work within you. Without God, you would be one twisted girl living in utter darkness – and that’s just the humbling truth. The Holy Spirit changes our character to GOODNESS. He aligns our morals with God’s. He teaches us to do what is right even when no one is watching. He grows our desires in the direction of integrity. We don’t do that ourselves. Girl, if there’s goodness in you, that’s a work of God, not of you! This fruit of goodness is a growing of WHO YOU ARE. It’s an external proof of the internal transformation happening. God is GOOD. His power is good. His ways are good. His plans are good. And when your soul is surrendered to Him as Lord and He is in control of your life, then He is living inside of you, making you good. It starts with Him and flows into you. This isn’t an act of willpower on your part; this is an act of surrender. This isn’t an achievement; this is a transformation. Goodness is the overflow of abiding in Christ. The fruit isn’t something you force—it is something God grows as you remain connected to Him. Goodness starts with God. Goodness flows into you. Goodness grows through you. Goodness blesses everyone around you. If you take GOD out of GOODNESS, you are left with o-ness. If you’re trying to make yourself be good without the power of the Holy Spirit working in you, you may achieve good behavior for a while, but you’ll never produce godly goodness. Only God can produce God’s character. GOODNESS IS GOD’S CHARACTER. We try to be good without God and we just end up exhausting ourselves trying to become by effort – but this goodness is only produced through surrender to God. Do you want to be better? SURRENDER! Then the fruit of goodness will naturally grow! Jesus shows us what the goodness of God within looks like in action. Acts 10:38 puts it simply, “Jesus went around doing good.” The character of goodness always produces goodness in action. The more the Holy Spirit works his goodness in you, the more your actions align to those of Jesus. Girl, you’re going to be going around DOING GOOD! What if your entire life became about going around just doing good! You want to represent Jesus to this world – go around doing good! Let God’s goodness flow through you onto everyone you encounter! Ephesians 2:10 says we’re created to do the good things God planned for us. Doing good things doesn’t save us – But the goodness of God growing in us naturally has us going around doing good things! Think about that – do you notice that in your own journey with God? The more you grow in Jesus – the more you learn and follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit – the more he has you going around doing good things! How radically cool is that? THAT’S THE FRUIT OF GOODNESS GROWING IN YOUR LIFE! So today, don’t leave our time together thinking, “I need to try harder to be good.” Leave thinking, “I need to stay closer to God.” Fruit never grows because the branch strains harder—it grows because it stays connected to the vine. The closer you live to Jesus, the more His goodness becomes your goodness. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself speaking with more integrity, loving more deeply, giving more generously, forgiving more freely, serving more joyfully, and doing good almost without thinking about it. That’s the Holy Spirit transforming your character. Girl, this world doesn’t just need more nice people. It needs more people so surrendered to Jesus that His goodness overflows into every conversation, every decision, every relationship, and every ordinary day. So stay surrendered. Stay connected. Stay under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Then go around doing good, because everywhere the goodness of God goes, darkness loses ground and people catch a glimpse of Jesus. And really that’s what it’s all about – show the world JESUS! Every act of goodness points beyond us. Every kind word, every generous act, every choice of integrity, every quiet sacrifice becomes another opportunity for someone to catch a glimpse of Jesus. So let His goodness grow in you, flow through you, and reveal Him to the world.

Happy Hump Day! There are celebrity weddings... there are relationship disasters... and then there are mornings where The Rizzuto Show somehow manages to cram both into one completely ridiculous daily comedy show.Happy Hump Day! The gang turns an ordinary Wednesday into two-and-a-half hours of relationship debates, questionable life choices, bizarre internet conspiracies, celebrity chaos, weird news, and enough sarcastic commentary to make your therapist schedule a follow-up appointment.Rizz kicks things off by preparing for wisdom tooth surgery while the crew campaigns to revive one of the show's most legendary Radiothon traditions. Naturally, that conversation immediately spirals into fundraising, public roasting, and debating exactly how much money it would take to humiliate someone for a good cause.Technology doesn't fare much better. Rizz accidentally ignores his wife thanks to his Meta smart glasses, proving that answering a phone call during a romantic walk is a surprisingly effective way to lose Husband of the Year honors. That launches a conversation about wearable tech, modern relationships, and whether our gadgets are helping us stay connected—or just creating brand-new ways to get into trouble.Relationship Court officially returns with listener dilemmas involving blended families, difficult exes, parenting, teenage ultimatums, postpartum anxiety, expensive concert tickets, and whether friends are actually obligated to sacrifice their own plans when someone else's night takes an emotional turn. As always, everyone has an opinion, nobody agrees, and somebody inevitably gets roasted.Of course, no morning would be complete without one of the internet's greatest relationship debates. A woman considers ending her relationship because her boyfriend's obsession with potato chips has completely taken over his life. Three bags a day. Crumbs everywhere. Finger dust. Hidden snack stashes. McDonald's instead of local cuisine while traveling overseas. Somehow this turns into one of the funniest—and weirdly most divisive—conversations of the day.Meanwhile, Rafe unveils a brand-new game, Swifty or Shifty, challenging everyone to separate real Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding stories from completely fabricated internet nonsense. Before long, the crew is debating celebrity wedding conspiracies, impossible reception menus, sports legends, billionaire wedding budgets, and whether chicken nuggets topped with caviar should ever exist. Confidence is mandatory. Accuracy is optional.The celebrity chaos keeps rolling as the gang reacts to one of the most unintentionally hilarious concert moments ever, when Paul Stanley delivers an emotional tribute before immediately launching into one of KISS's most awkward song transitions imaginable. From there, the conversation bounces into Green Day's latest music, Sammy Hagar reuniting with Jason Bonham, David Lee Roth's unforgettable Spanish-language album, Harold & Kumar 4, Britney Spears' upcoming biopic, Ali G's return, Jeopardy! hiring clue writers, and The Rock's continued quest to prove he's a dramatic actor.Then it's time for a healthy dose of gaming nostalgia. The crew debates Collider's greatest video games of all time, argues over GoldenEye, Grand Theft Auto, Halo, Pac-Man, Doom, and whether today's players will ever truly own their games again as PlayStation continues moving toward a digital-only future.As if things couldn't get stranger, a Missouri man gets arrested while proudly wearing the promotional T-shirt from the very bail bonds company that had recently gotten him out of jail. That unbelievable mugshot sparks one of the day's most unexpectedly fascinating conversations as the crew dives into how bail bonds, bounty hunters, collateral, and the legal system actually work—complete with Rafe's unforgettable Current River stories and a reminder that showing up for court is generally considered a good idea.Along the way you'll hear conversations about smart glasses, travel compatibility, embarrassing eating habits, floating Missouri rivers, celebrity gossip, rock history, video game nostalgia, weird news, family dynamics, movie trivia, pop culture, listener dilemmas, and plenty of classic Rizz Show tangents where nobody remembers how the conversation started—but everyone is glad it happened anyway.Whether you're here for ridiculous listener stories, celebrity gossip, bizarre internet theories, hilarious fails, or just listening to friends derail every topic imaginable, this daily comedy show delivers exactly the unpredictable chaos you've come to expect from The Rizzuto Show.Thanks for hanging out with us. If today's episode taught us anything, it's that relationships are complicated, potato chips are apparently controversial, celebrity wedding conspiracies have officially gone too far, and maybe don't wear your bail bonds T-shirt for your next mugshot.If you laughed, argued with your speakers, immediately Googled Paul Stanley's awkward stage banter, or started questioning your own snack habits, mission accomplished.Be sure to subscribe and never miss another episode of your favorite daily comedy show.A Marketing Boon For Bail Bonds Business‘Snake the Bigfoot Hunter' claims he unearthed scientific proof of Sasquatch — and DNA shows it's part humanHazelwood snack bar factory to close, lay off hundreds of employeesFollow 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.
Some mornings you expect headlines. Other mornings you discover there's an underground criminal empire stealing used fryer grease, someone insists bedazzled jeans are making a comeback, billionaires are wearing air-conditioned inflatable suits, and Rizz has created an entirely unofficial list of ages where society should lovingly tell you to knock it off.Welcome to another daily comedy show from The Rizzuto Show.We kick things off close to home with St. Louis news, including Cyberg's Market Street closing after decades downtown, overnight vehicle break-ins, and why leaving valuables—or firearms—in your car is a spectacularly bad idea. Naturally, the conversation immediately derails into fake manual transmissions to confuse thieves, mounted muskets, Shark Tank-worthy anti-theft inventions, and enough terrible ideas to make insurance companies nervous.Then things get wonderfully ridiculous as the crew dives into one of the strangest crime stories imaginable: an organized multi-million-dollar operation built around stealing used restaurant grease. Between fake invoices, undercover grease pickups, and criminals wearing reflective safety vests to blend in, yesterday's french fries somehow become today's organized crime thriller.Fashion isn't safe either. Lern believes rhinestones are back. Rafe embraces the return of early-2000s chaos. Rizz refuses to believe grown adults are voluntarily bedazzling their back pockets again. Before long the conversation spirals into Ed Hardy memories, JNCO jeans, Von Dutch hats, whale tails, cowboy fashion, and the universal question nobody asked: did any of this actually look good the first time?Speaking of questionable decisions, the crew revisits tech millionaire Bryan Johnson after news surrounding his health journey, leading to a hilarious debate about supplements, biohacking, sleep tracking, anti-aging obsessions, and whether spending every waking minute trying not to age actually counts as living.As if that weren't enough, Rizz unveils his completely unscientific "Tell the Truth Day" list of social expiration dates. At what age should backwards hats retire? Is there a point where everyone has to stop calling people "bro?" When should staying out until sunrise become a memory instead of a plan? Everyone disagrees, listeners yell back at their radios, and absolutely nothing gets settled.Meanwhile, congratulations are officially in order for Learn, who somehow found extra hours in the day by splitting time between St. Louis and Chicago. She's now racing from one radio show to another, surviving almost entirely on determination, gas station coffee, and what we're convinced is teleportation.Then comes one of the greatest rabbit holes of the morning. A casual conversation about Skid Row somehow transforms into an in-depth legal defense of Ricky from "18 and Life." Was the sentence fair? Did his attorney fail him? Could manslaughter have changed everything? Before long the crew is pitching an entire sequel where Ricky is released decades later and has to navigate smartphones, social media, and modern life. Sebastian Bach, our lawyers would like royalties if this ever happens.The nostalgia train keeps rolling with conversations about classic rock, Quiet Riot, Great White, unforgettable concerts, Missouri's connection to sliced bread, legendary movies every younger generation needs to watch, and passionate debates over which films absolutely deserve a spot on everyone's must-watch list.The celebrity world isn't spared either during another packed Crap on Celebrities featuring music news, Hollywood headlines, bizarre entertainment stories, AI discussions, and enough pop culture commentary to keep everyone arguing long after the show ends.And because no episode is complete without complete nonsense, we wrap things up debating billionaire air-conditioned tracksuits straight out of Paris before diving into Real or Fake Fireworks. Contestants attempt to identify whether outrageous names are actual fireworks or something Rafe invented after way too much caffeine. Somehow the real products end up sounding even more ridiculous than the fake ones.Whether you're listening on your morning commute, pretending to answer emails, hiding from responsibilities, or simply looking for a reason to laugh, thanks for making us part of your day. Every ridiculous tangent, terrible idea, nostalgic debate, celebrity headline, weird news story, and accidental moment of wisdom is why this daily comedy show continues to be the highlight of our mornings.If you laughed, argued with Rizz, defended rhinestone jeans, questioned the value of stolen fryer grease, or started wondering whether "Neighbor Hater" is actually a real firework, congratulations—you've experienced another daily comedy show exactly the way it was intended.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.Theft of used cooking oil in St. Louis was part of vast conspiracy, feds sayIs There a Bedazzled Jeans Epidemic Amongst the Men?What Bryan Johnson's diagnosis says about the limits of health tracking, longevity medicineThis day in history: Sliced bread makes its debut in MissouriSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
