Und zwar gleich im doppelten Sinne: Blakes siebtes Album «Trying Times» ist sein erstes, das er auf eigene Faust veröffentlicht – ohne Majorlabel im Rücken. Und auch musikalisch streckt es, trotz einem Featuring von UK-Rapstar Dave, seine Fühler mehr Richtung klassischem Singer-/Songwriter-tum aus.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off a spooky Friday the 13th with Warriors hype, throwback tracks, and a debate over monster-themed songs before spinning Rihanna’s “Disturbia.” They plug the Harry Styles flyaway standby list, chat Meg’s A&P-style baking entries, and take calls including cabin-crew realities and dating app updates. New Music Friday features Luke Combs, The Wiggles, Pussycat Dolls, and Live Lounge covers from Zara Larsson and Harry Styles. Dan’s “prayers” become a running gag after Meg’s missing cat Plum returns, leading to on-air requests for healing, Warriors tips, and giveaway luck. EZ Money returns, “Hit the Spot” attempts Tenacious D’s “Tribute” but narrowly misses, small-town news hits Hokitika’s food festival, and callers share breakup reversals and pets missing for years before coming home. 00:00 Spooky Friday Opener04:14 Harry Styles Flyaway Info05:49 Cookie Judging Panel07:48 First Call Of The Day10:51 New Music Friday16:27 Dan Prays For Plum19:18 Prayer Requests On Air23:47 EZ Money Game26:25 Megs Mum Calls In26:56 Hit The Spot Prep33:44 Small Town News 34:48 Hokitika Food Fest37:11 Producer Diary Highlights41:10 Kate Hudson Breakups49:49 EZ Money Challenge52:44 Hit The Spot Attempt56:17 Did We Miss It?!01:00:32 Harry Styles Flyaway01:02:19 Pets Gone Missing

If you woke up today feeling like a raccoon that got hit by a clock, congratulations — you survived Daylight Saving Time. The Rizzuto Show crew rolls into the studio extra groggy and immediately starts questioning why society still does this whole “change the clocks and ruin everyone's Monday” thing. Apparently only a tiny percentage of people actually like the time change, and based on the energy in the room today… those people are clearly not listeners of this daily comedy show.Moon also drops a realization that hits way too close to home: he thinks he was legitimately sick all last week and didn't even realize it. Which explains the random dark thoughts, exhaustion, and that strange moment where everything in life felt terrible for no reason. Turns out sometimes your brain just needs a reminder that you're not miserable — you're just sick.Meanwhile, the gang dives into one of the weirdest studies ever released: New Music Friday might be causing car accidents. Apparently super fans are so excited about new album drops that they're scrolling through track lists, reading lyrics, and switching songs while driving 65 mph. In other words: people are literally dying to hear the new record. Maybe just hit shuffle and keep both hands on the wheel.The show also checks in on Rafe's ongoing mission to get into Canada so he can complete a ceremonial trip with the Blackfoot Nation — which now apparently involves mountains, lava rocks, sweat lodges, and a stand-up comedy performance for the entire community. The only problem? Canada isn't exactly thrilled about letting him across the border.Plus:AI transparency coming to streaming musicThe terrifying incident involving Rihanna's homeMachine Gun Kelly fans falling through the stageDave Mustaine considering an acting career (yes, really)A debate over whether KISS are technically clownsThe weirdest celebrity solo music flops everIt's chaos, questionable science, celebrity nonsense, and the usual Monday brain fog — exactly what you expect from your favorite daily comedy show.If you're looking for weird news, pop culture commentary, and a group of radio hosts trying to function on one less hour of sleep, this episode of The Rizzuto Show daily comedy show delivers all of it.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.

Okay, eigentlich hatte das neue Jahr schon letzte Woche einen Freitag. Aber inhaltlich zählte der nicht wirklich. Darum ist heute der erste *richtige* New Music Friday. Und der bringt unter anderem ein Überraschungsalbum des Londoner Kollektivs Sault mit sich.
