By 1986, REM were veterans of the college rock scene, had recorded in London and gotten songs into the charts. For their 4th album, Life's Rich Pageant, they took a step forward in stretching not only what they could do musically but voicing social, political and environmental concerns through their lyrics. We don't find it to be totally in your face (as opposed to say, U2) but more subliminal as their lyrics can sometimes be nebulous or at least not straight forward and not about rock cliches like hot rods and chicks (not that there's anything wrong with hot rods and chicks if you know what I'm saying out there boys - Ian Astbury, The Cult). They may sneak in stories about a polluted river in Cuyahoga or regret the rise and fall of a revolutionary in Central America (The Flowers of Guatemala) or even the effects of acid rain damaging our environment (Fall On Me). But they do it with upbeat riffs and guitar runs from Peter Buck with lead singer Michael Stipe delivering the message while bassist Mike Mills provides the counterpoint lyrics to not only tell the story but give REM their signature sound. The driving beat provided by Bill Berry make songs like I Believe an all out rocker you can jump around and shout along to. And they experiment with things like banjos on Swan Swan H and middle eastern sounds on Underneath The Bunker (not quite an instrumental). This album went gold and is the predecessor to Document which would be their first platinum record thanks to The One I Love & It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine). Superman, a cover by the 60's psychedelic band Clique, helped them get in the charts and draw some interest beyond college campuses and college radio. That interest would build to Document which would lead to a $40 million record contract from Warner Brothers and put them on a steeper trajectory to pop superstardom. REM fans are often divided between those who knew and loved them in 80s before they hit it big and those who came to know them thanks to the big record company, expensive videos and pop stylings. For me, the IRS records of the 80s will always be the real REM and Life's Rich Pageant is a great moment in time for them. They've learned the ropes, made some good records and are not complacent - they moved forward believing in themselves, each other and their convictions which would eventually bring them all the success in the world.

Somehow we've already reached the point where the conversation spirals from Steven Spielberg's new alien movie into whether Lear's digestive system could accidentally start an interplanetary war.Just another totally normal morning.The gang kicks things off with a packed weekend preview, including Lear's big Pageant event, Moon's soccer watch party in Illinois, and the upcoming Night at the Rizzlies. Then things take a sharp left turn into the great extraterrestrial debate after discussion of Spielberg's latest sci-fi blockbuster sparks a surprisingly deep conversation about intelligent life beyond Earth.Do aliens exist? Are they already here? Is Earth basically the North Sentinel Island of the galaxy? Could heaven secretly be a spaceship? These are apparently the questions that happen when you give a radio show access to microphones before coffee fully kicks in.The crew dives into theories ranging from religion and simulation concepts to alien overlords, government coverups, and whether any of us would voluntarily board a mysterious spacecraft in the middle of nowhere. Some members of the show are ready to leave Earth immediately. Others have follow-up questions about bathrooms.There's also a healthy amount of celebrity and entertainment chaos. Learn breaks down the new Sublime album featuring Jakob Nowell, Fleetwood Mac's upgraded greatest-hits collection, Motley Crue's theatrical return, Sammy Hagar's upcoming tour, and Larry David's newest HBO project. Along the way, the gang somehow turns a discussion about classic rock into a deep dive on band members dating each other, divorcing each other, and then somehow continuing to make hit records together.The movie conversation keeps rolling with discussions about Spielberg's return to alien storytelling, the highest-rated films of the last 25 years, Christopher Nolan's domination of IMDb rankings, and why Whiplash remains one of the most stressful movies ever made.It's the kind of daily comedy show episode that starts with local events and ends with humanity questioning its place in the universe.If you enjoy pop culture commentary, weird news, celebrity gossip, classic rock debates, science-fiction rabbit holes, and a daily comedy show that never stays on topic for more than three minutes, Episode 200 delivers exactly the kind of beautiful disaster you'd expect from The Rizzuto Show.Thanks for making this daily comedy show part of your day.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Rizzuto Show accidentally turns into a full-blown 90s alternative rock therapy session this episode — and honestly, we're not qualified for that kind of emotional labor. Jimmy Griffin joins the crew ahead of Hard Promises taking over The Pageant, and things immediately derail into a passionate debate over which songs got CRANKED in your Geo Metro and which songs made you consider driving directly into the nearest retaining wall. Totally normal behavior for a daily comedy show.The gang breaks down the magic of The Pageant in St. Louis, why certain venues just hit different, and how every local musician basically treats that stage like sacred ground. Jimmy, Moon, and the crew talk touring memories, legendary staff, and why The Pageant remains one of the best venues in the country. Meanwhile, Rafe contributes important scientific analysis like “this song belongs in the organic peanut butter aisle at Schnucks.”Then comes the glorious avalanche of 90s nostalgia. Bush. Silverchair. Local H. Soul Asylum. Fastball. Collective Soul. Gin Blossoms. Primitive Radio Gods. The Wallflowers. Deep Blue Something. Dishwalla. Basically every song that ever played while your parents fought in the front seat of a Dodge Neon. The crew debates which songs were instant “turn-it-up” classics and which ones deserved immediate radio execution. Lern reveals her absolute hatred for “Runaway Train,” Moon passionately defends Silverchair with the energy of a man protecting sacred scripture, and Jimmy Griffin admits he thought Silverchair was just “baby Nirvana.” Somewhere during all this, Rizz realizes half these bands were apparently “for the girls,” which honestly explains a lot.Jimmy also talks about performing Tom Petty songs with Hard Promises, including why Petty's catalog is basically impossible to screw up because the songs are deceptively simple and annoyingly perfect. The crew gets into favorite deep cuts, beginner guitar memories, and the undeniable brilliance of “Last Dance with Mary Jane.” Jimmy then performs an acoustic version live in studio that immediately makes everyone forget they spent the previous hour roasting Primitive Radio Gods.But the true MVP moment of this entire episode? Jimmy's AutoZone story. A random guy confidently tells him he looks like “Earl Smith” — apparently the legendary frontman of Aerosmith now has the name of a retired high school baseball coach from Festus. Congratulations to the world on accidentally creating the greatest fake musician name in history.This episode has everything:90s alt-rock chaosTom Petty appreciationaggressive music opinionsweirdly emotional radio nostalgiaGeo Metro memoriesgrocery store soundtrack analysisand a new tribute band idea called EARL SMITHJust another completely reasonable daily comedy experience from The Rizzuto Show. Because if we're not yelling about Fastball in 2026, what are we even doing anymore?And yes… somebody definitely threatened to drive off a bridge because of Primitive Radio Gods.A completely stable and emotionally healthy daily comedy 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/RizzShowHear 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.
Jimmy Griffin from Hard Promises stops by the studio and immediately reminds everyone why musicians are somehow both incredibly cool and unbelievably chaotic at the exact same time. The guy forgot his guitar, may or may not accidentally create a hit song if one enters his house, and somehow still walks in cooler than the rest of us combined. Meanwhile, the crew spirals into conversations about Pageant memories, signed station guitars, and why every musician in St. Louis apparently has emotional support gear hanging somewhere nearby.Then the show completely derails — as all respectable comedy podcasts should.Rafe finally gives in and visits Stretch You after years of hearing about it, and honestly? He comes back sounding spiritually reborn. The gang breaks down the entire stretching process in disturbing detail, including glute work, Theragun deployment, and a conversation about coccyx injuries nobody asked for but everybody somehow contributed to anyway. If you've ever wanted a funny podcast where grown adults passionately discuss hamstrings before 8am, congratulations, this is your moment.Lern introduces the show to the concept of luxury “head spas,” which somehow sounds both relaxing and deeply suspicious at the same time. Moon continues battling his personal war against St. Louis weather patterns. Rafe becomes emotionally attached to magnolia blooms like a retired southern grandmother named Cheryl. King Scott enters his future dad era while everyone gives terrible crib-building advice. And somewhere in the middle of all this, the crew debates whether spring even exists anymore or if Missouri just skips directly from freezing rain to swamp humidity.This episode has everything:Jimmy Griffin storiesTom Petty talkSigned rock memorabiliaWeird wellness trendsMidwestern weather rageStretching scienceFurniture moving politicsAccidental emotional support magnoliasPeak St. Louis nonsenseIt's the exact type of sarcastic, weirdly heartfelt, chaotic funny podcast you expect from The Rizzuto Show. Whether you're listening at work, driving through STL traffic, or questioning why adults willingly pay to be professionally stretched like pizza dough, this funny podcast has your back.Because at the end of the day, no one delivers daily Midwest nonsense, music stories, and completely unnecessary debates quite like this funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show crew.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/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.New Survey Reveals Why Americans Aren't Fully Ready For SummerSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Then after the break, the crown gets heavy. Buff Faye opens up about starring in Pageant Queens, the new reality series bringing a national spotlight to 10 legendary drag entertainers competing in the ultimate “Queen of Drag” competition for a $50,000 grand prize. Buff Faye the Queen of the Queen City proudly represents Charlotte and the Carolinas on a national stage.

Today's comedy podcast starts exactly where all responsible adult conversations should: debating whether Mini Kiss is legally required to cause problems everywhere they go. Chelcie Lynn joins the gang in studio ahead of her sold-out Pageant show, and somehow within minutes the conversation turns into stories about cruise ship scandals, public indecency rumors, and tiny Gene Simmons impersonators allegedly becoming legends of the sea. Honestly? That sentence still undersells how weird this episode gets.The show also dives into the painful realization that streaming services have officially become cable TV again. Netflix is raising prices, stuffing ads everywhere, and somehow convincing all of us to keep paying anyway because we're emotionally dependent on documentaries about serial killers and reality dating disasters. The gang debates which streaming apps are worth keeping, why HBO Max somehow survives every budget cut, and why Temptation Island might be one of the greatest trash television achievements of modern civilization. This daily comedy show continues doing the important cultural analysis nobody requested.Chelcie Lynn also shares stories from life on tour, including trailer break-ins, life inside the world's most chaotic road vehicle, and why her legendary blue Tammy shorts are basically under federal protection at this point. There's also discussion about fans recognizing her as Trash Tammy everywhere she goes, how the character started, and the surprisingly wild connection between Tammy and Charlize Theron's character in Monster. That's right — somehow this comedy podcast accidentally became film analysis for a few minutes.Meanwhile, the Crap on Celebrities segment absolutely refuses to behave. The crew covers musicians getting hit with flying objects during concerts, stolen Beyoncé music, celebrity confessions that should've stayed private forever, and Sharon Osbourne allegedly prioritizing dogs over humans during a house fire. Normal morning show stuff.Then things somehow get emotional when Rizz tells the tragic story of Gary the fish — including a homemade strawberry-container coffin, a backyard funeral attempt, and one very unfortunate gust of wind. RIP Gary. You deserved better than becoming airborne.Of course, no episode would be complete without absolute nonsense, so the gang wraps things up with a game where Chelcie Lynn tries to identify whether song lyrics belong to Creed, Nickelback, or Alice In Chains. Shockingly difficult. Mildly concerning. Deeply important radio.If you love a comedy podcast packed with weird news, sarcastic humor, celebrity chaos, cruise ship disasters, funny stories, and total daily show nonsense, this episode delivers all of it with the subtlety of Mini Kiss on open water.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/RizzShowHear 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.
Moon Valjean is back from Vegas and somehow managed to visit casinos without gambling, which honestly sounds medically impossible. Instead, he spent his trip hunting down incredible local food, debating the meaning of rice pilaf, and discovering that Vegas off-strip dining prices now require a small business loan. The gang breaks down the bizarre sociology of weekday Vegas flights, why old people apparently own the city Monday through Wednesday, and how airplane emotions hit differently when you're watching a devastating movie at 30,000 feet while trying not to cry next to strangers.The crew get into a full-blown debate about airport etiquette, “Jetway Jesus,” and whether families with babies should board planes first or last. There's also discussion about the horrifying reality of airplane emergency cards, weird travel behavior, and one absolutely insane story involving a man getting onto an airport runway and being sucked into a plane engine. So yeah… maybe don't snack during that segment.The crew also dives into one of the greatest weird-news stories of the year: a guy throwing a rock at an endangered Hawaiian monk seal and immediately discovering that Hawaii does NOT play around. Enter: The Ambassador of Aloha — the unidentified local hero who allegedly beat the guy's ass so thoroughly that the entire community united to protect his identity like he's Batman in flip-flops. Federal charges, local pride, seal justice… this segment has everything.Elsewhere in the episode, the gang discusses Missouri turtle season, roadside turtle rescue etiquette, and why taking home a box turtle is apparently both illegal and a terrible life choice. Lern reveals her strange turtle friendship history, Rafe discusses leprosy armadillos, and somehow Sylvester Stallone's pet turtles from Rocky become part of the conversation because this show has fully abandoned traditional structure.Then comes the flip-flop war.A viral TikTok sparks one of the most passionate debates in recent Rizz Show history after a woman begs men to stop wearing flip-flops entirely. And because the Internet refuses to let humanity evolve peacefully, the crew also uncovers terrifying trends like “ball maxing” and “pheromone maxing” — including teenage boys intentionally refusing to shower in hopes their natural musk will attract women. Spoiler alert: it mostly attracts concern, bacterial buildup, and intervention from family members armed with buckets of water.Chelcie Lynn joins the gang in studio ahead of her sold-out Pageant show, and somehow within minutes the conversation turns into stories about cruise ship scandals, public indecency rumors, and tiny Gene Simmons impersonators allegedly becoming legends of the sea. Honestly? That sentence still undersells how weird this episode gets.Meanwhile, the Crap on Celebrities segment absolutely refuses to behave. The crew covers musicians getting hit with flying objects during concerts, stolen Beyoncé music, celebrity confessions that should've stayed private forever, and Sharon Osbourne allegedly prioritizing dogs over humans during a house fire. Normal morning show stuff.Then things somehow get emotional when Rizz tells the tragic story of Gary the fish — including a homemade strawberry-container coffin, a backyard funeral attempt, and one very unfortunate gust of wind. RIP Gary. You deserved better than becoming airborne.Chelsea Lynn stopped by before her sold-out Loose Lips tour show and immediately exposed the glamorous reality of touring comedy life: nobody's paying $500 for venue water bottles. The gang gets into dressing room riders, expensive catering, why comedians are apparently hauling their own snacks to venues, and how Moon would absolutely exploit tour rider loopholes strictly for fresh tube socks. Which honestly? Respect.Then the show completely derails into one of the greatest games we've ever played on the show: “Nickelback, Creed, or Alice In Chains.” Sounds easy until somebody starts reading lyrics without the music and suddenly every song sounds like a divorced stepdad screaming into a Monster Energy drink at 2AM.Also: if “Look at this photograph” activated sleeper-agent memories in your brain, we sincerely apologize.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/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Mom Is Told Her Son Is ‘Pheromone Maxxing' After He Refused To Shower For 10 DaysThe Doctor Shortage Is Getting Worse.

Todos hemos oído hablar de los torneos medievales, incluso los hemos podido ver en el cine. Aparecieron en la Francia del siglo XI. En esos primeros tiempos se les conocía como melé y eran simples peleas, batallas en miniatura que se libraban a campo abierto con armas afiladas, cargas a galope, heridos y en ocasiones también muertos. Aquellas melés servían para mantener engrasada la maquinaria de guerra en tiempos de paz ,y para que se luciesen los mejores caballeros de cada señorío. La Iglesia condenaba la práctica, pero sin demasiado éxito ya que pronto empezaron a verse melés por toda la Europa occidental. Ya en el siglo XIII la melé fue cediendo terreno a la justa, un combate singular y teatralizado entre dos caballeros separados por una liza de madera. Aquella barrera, creada por por los italianos del siglo XIV, reducía el riesgo de morir en combate y permitía que la justa se convirtiese en un gran espectáculo que congregaba a multitudes. El torneo se transformó así en un escaparate cortesano con heraldos que anunciaban a los contendientes, damas que entregaban los premios, y un código heráldico fácilmente reconocible que permitía saber el linaje de cada caballero aunque llevase el yelmo cerrado. El honor era lo que estaba en juego, aunque, eso sí, las justas de los siglos XIV y XV movían ya una cantidad de dinero considerable. En origen los caballeros iban armados con una simple cota de malla, poco a poco fueron adoptando piezas duras, primero de cuero hervido y luego de metal. La armadura de los siglos XV y XVI estaba ya muy trabajada. Para las justas se fabricaban en los talleres de Milán o Augsburgo armaduras de placas que cubrían en cuerpo entero. Esas armaduras llegaron a alcanzar precios de escándalo, pero los caballeros pagaban gustosos. Maximiliano de Habsburgo dio nombre a la modalidad estriada, la cumbre de las armaduras que llegó justo cuando la pólvora y las armas de fuego portátiles empezaron a cambiar la cara a la guerra. Pero el torneo era también un negocio. Los rescates que pedían los vencedores, los caballos destreros criados en Flandes o en Andalucía y los séquitos que acompañaban a los caballeros movían fortunas y trastornaban la vida de las ciudades que acogían una justa durante semanas. Organizar un buen torneo otorgaba un gran prestigio al anfitrión y dejaba mucho dinero allá donde se celebraba. A mediados del siglo XVI empezaron a decaer y su declive fue muy rápido. Los arcabuces y mosquetes hicieron de la armadura algo inútil, disciplinados cuerpos de infantería como los tercios desplazaron a la caballería pesada y la nobleza empezó a perder el interés en participar directamente en las guerras. Hubo también un desgraciado accidente. En 1559 durante una justa que celebraba en París el matrimonio de Felipe II de España e Isabel de Valois, el rey de Francia murió a consecuencia de las heridas tras medirse con el conde de Montgomery. Su viuda, Catalina de Médici prohibió los torneos en toda Francia y a partir de ahí fueron perdiendo atractivo. Pero de los torneos medievales nos queda más de lo que pensamos. La heráldica pervive hasta nuestros días, también la idea caballeresca del juego limpio y el respeto al adversario. Para hablar de este tema tan sugerente vuelve a La ContraHistoria Yeyo Balbás, alguien para quien la edad media no tiene secreto alguno.

Amy Jackson Westwick is a major Bollywood film star with some 14 million followers on social media. Yet she grew up in a working class family in Liverpool. So how did a teenager from Merseyside become one of the most recognisable British actors working in Bollywood? Today on How To Fail, she tells us her story. We discuss growing up too fast, how she broke free from a cycle of narcissistic relationships and how she now manages a blended family (Amy has two sons - one with her husband, the actor Ed Westwick, and one from a previous partner). Plus: what she learned from her years in Bollywood and why she's 'a petty cow'. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Intro 03:13 Chasing Security Not Fame 04:08 Finding Yourself Again 06:35 Growing Up Too Fast 06:50 Liverpool Childhood Roots 11:27 Pageants to Bollywood Break 24:04 Perfect Family Fantasy 25:21 Romanticising Love 26:40 Back To Back Relationships 27:30 People Pleasing Patterns 29:06 Narcissists And Boundaries 31:53 Leaving And Healing 36:39 Blended Family Reality 39:52 Step Parenting Rules 47:05 Listening To Yourself
Rizz is out living his best New York life, so naturally the show immediately spirals—in a fun, “we promise this is still a professional daily comedy show” kind of way. Moon, Rafe, King Scott, and guest chaos-agent Tina D. Ball take over and deliver a beautifully unhinged episode packed with Internet debates, improv games, celebrity news, and at least one philosophical breakdown that absolutely started as a dumb question and somehow got way too deep.We kick things off with Tina's return and a discussion about the Internet—specifically whether it's making us better people or just more anxious versions of ourselves. (Spoiler: both.) That somehow leads into conspiracy rabbit holes, social media detoxes, and the realization that maybe scrolling less and texting actual humans is the real life hack.Then comes the segment that broke everyone's brain: a “would you rather” scenario involving cutting your bed into a letter shape… but losing all foods that start with that letter. What begins as a dumb toilet-thought question turns into a full-blown strategic crisis involving noodles, zucchini, ice cream, and whether anyone is emotionally strong enough to give up watermelon. The show debates sleep positioning, relationship logistics, and food sacrifices like it's a life-or-death decision—because apparently it is.Speaking of chaos, the crew dives into more “would you rather” questions, including reliving high school (hard pass for most), going viral for something embarrassing (also a hard pass… unless you can monetize it), and whether being funny or respected matters more. Shockingly, everyone chooses funny—because if you're gonna spiral, at least be entertaining while doing it.On the pop culture side, “Crap on Celebrities” delivers everything from aging rock legends to legal drama. The Rolling Stones might be slowing down thanks to Keith Richards' arthritis (a.k.a. the most rock-and-roll way to say “my fingers don't work like they used to”), while Celine Dion is gearing up for an emotional comeback after her health battle—proving once again she is, in fact, built different. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift is dealing with a trademark lawsuit because apparently even global superstars can't escape paperwork drama.There's also a bizarre-but-fascinating moment involving LeAnn Rimes and a “jaw release” procedure that somehow turns into an emotional breakdown mid-session. Equal parts therapy and horror movie.And because no episode is complete without competition, the crew dives into March Movie Mayhem—debating iconic 90s films like it's the Super Bowl of nostalgia. Friendships are tested, opinions are judged, and someone definitely gets called old.The episode wraps with the “Mind Meld” game, where listeners bet on whether two people can say the same word at the same time. Sometimes it works instantly (which feels suspicious), and sometimes it derails into absolute nonsense involving fruit snacks, gummies, and the slow realization that human brains are not nearly as connected as we'd like to believe.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/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Cruise Ship Workers Accidentally Ruin Couple's Engagement by Singing in Celebration Before Man Proposed to His Girlfriend$6B data center in Festus gets OK from city councilJoe Edwards to sell his share of The Pageant concert hall in the Delmar LoopChild abduction report was made up, St. Louis County police saySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Harrison discusses the last two cantos of the Purgatorio (32-33) with Joshua Charles of Eternal Christendom and Dr. Frank Grabowski of Holy Family Classical School. We are reading the ODYSSEY NEXT! Check out our 12-week schedule.See our collection of written guides to the great books!Check out Joshua Charles' Eternal Christendom.Check out Holy Family Classical School in Tulsa, Oklahoma.They explore the symbolic significance of Beatrice's role in guiding Dante through his spiritual journey, highlighting her as a representation of divine grace and wisdom. The conversation also touches on the allegorical elements of the sacred tree and the griffin, which symbolize Christ and the intertwining of spiritual and temporal authority.The episode further examines the complex allegories of spiritual and temporal power, focusing on themes of judgment, schism, and the corruption within the church. The guests discuss Dante's critique of ecclesiastical corruption, particularly involving figures like Boniface VIII and the Avignon Papacy, and how these historical contexts are woven into the narrative. The prophetic visions of church corruption, represented by the harlot and the coming hero, the Greyhound, are analyzed for their implications on Dante's vision of divine justice and societal renewal. The discussion is enriched with references to biblical texts, especially the Book of Revelation, which heavily influences Dante's imagery.Throughout the episode, the philosophical underpinnings of Dante's work are explored, with particular attention to the influences of Platonic, Augustinian, and Thomistic thought. The conversation transitions from the individual soul's purification journey to broader societal and political reflections, emphasizing the need for harmony between spiritual and temporal powers. The episode concludes with reflections on Dante's vision for renewal and hope, encouraging listeners to consider the allegories as guides for personal sanctification and societal transformation.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Context of the Podcast03:07 Exploring Dante's Purgatorio06:02 The Role of Beatrice and Grace08:50 Imagery and Symbolism in Canto 3212:06 The Pageant of Church History15:00 The Griffin and the Tree of Knowledge17:53 Temporal vs. Spiritual Authority20:45 The Significance of the Pageant23:57 Concluding Thoughts on Dante's Vision29:18 The Role of the Church in Governance30:01 Wealth and Temptation: The Weight of Luxury32:13 Temporal Authority vs. Spiritual Purpose34:26 The Emergence of the Dragon: Schism and Violence36:05 The Transformation of the Chariot: Corruption and Power38:47 The Harlot and the Giant: The Church's Grotesque Reality42:37 Dante's Perspective on the Papacy and Authority49:35 The Need for a Temporal Leader55:41 The Prophetic Vision of the Future01:00:21 The Purifying Power of Temporal Authority01:04:21 The Role of the Tree in Justice01:06:47 Understanding the Moral and Anagogical Senses01:10:46 The Discord Between Heaven and Earth01:16:42 The Significance of the Two Rivers01:22:40 Baptism and the Renewal of the SoulGood work on reading the Purgatorio!We have a few episodes from THE ASCENT up next and then we are reading the Odyssey.

Craig Unger reports that the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow served as a platform for Trump to court Putin and oligarchs, marking a turning point as Russia transitioned into a mafia state. 15.
Welcome back to your favorite daily comedy show, where the headlines are real, but our reactions are legally questionable.Today's chaos kicks off with the most unnecessary invention of the year: a Bluetooth-enabled funeral urn from Liquid Death called the “Eternal Playlist.” Yes, you can now haunt your family in surround sound. It's $495, it plays Spotify from beyond the grave, and somehow Moon almost bought one. Because of course he did. If you've ever wanted to DJ your own memorial service, congratulations — capitalism wins again.Then we pivot HARD into the internet's most uncomfortable math problem: an OnlyFans creator claiming she's pregnant after what she called a “breeding mission” involving 400 men. Four. Hundred. Naturally, the internet tagged Maury Povich like he's the Avengers of paternity testing. We discuss whether Maury should come out of retirement, whether this is marketing genius or chaos theater, and whether King Scott is now qualified to host a 400-man DNA special live from The Pageant in St. Louis. (We're not saying we'd do it… but we're also not not saying it.)From there, it's a full-on pop culture roller coaster. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees drop, and the gang debates whether Iron Maiden, Oasis, Sade, Wu-Tang Clan, and Mariah Carey deserve the nod — while Moon questions whether the Hall means anything anymore. It's passionate. It's slightly heated. It's exactly what a daily comedy show about music opinions should sound like.We also break down Missouri's proposed “Taylor Swift Act” targeting AI deepfakes, Benny Blanco's horrifying bare feet, a Shaky Knees festival lineup that slaps, and the emotional weight of some heartbreaking celebrity news. And because we contain multitudes, we close things out with an all-out war over the greatest TV theme songs of all time. From Fraggle Rock to Perfect Strangers to Thundercats — friendships were tested.This episode is a perfect example of why this daily comedy show works: weird news, celebrity chaos, music debates, childhood nostalgia, and just enough sarcasm to keep it spicy without getting us fired.If you like your entertainment gossip slightly unhinged but still informed, welcome home.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.

If you've ever wondered what happens when a daily comedy show accidentally stumbles into bowling ownership, Valentine's Day ethics, and a Pokémon scandal in the same morning… congratulations. You found your people.Today's episode kicks off with a major announcement: Moon Valjean is now the proud owner of Pin-Up Bowl in The Loop. That's right. Our own Moon — musician, radio host, professional vibe curator — now owns 73 bowling balls and possibly a dream. We talk leagues, Pete Weber tributes, pre- and post-Pageant party domination, and whether Rizz will immediately break something in the back mechanical room. (He will.)Then we dive headfirst into Valentine's Day drama. Rafe casually admits he made THREE dinner reservations “just in case,” which spirals into a full breakdown of modern dating strategy. Is that romantic preparedness or Cupid-level chaos? Meanwhile, we debate whether you break up before Valentine's Day or fake it through dessert like an emotional stunt double. Tough love was served hotter than a Longhorn ribeye.Speaking of Longhorn… a dad goes viral bragging that his son told his date to “get the tip” after he paid for dinner. The result? No tip.

#917. This week on Off the Vine, Kaitlyn sits down with actress and author Sarah Shahi for a conversation that's raw, funny, and completely unfiltered!Sarah opens up about growing up feeling like she didn't quite fit in, her family's escape from Iran, and the winding path that took her from pageants and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders to Hollywood — including a chance encounter with legendary director Robert Altman that changed everything. She shares honest reflections on motherhood, divorce, and what it looks like to rebuild when the life you planned no longer fits.They get into the Sex/Life TV show phenomenon, the flood of DMs from women around the world that followed, and how that moment sparked her new book, Life Is Lifey.
