The first ‘Avengers: Doomsday' trailer is here. Robert Downey Jr is back, but Iron Man isn't. ‘The Odyssey' had a tremendous opening weekend. ‘Moana' is disappointing after its second weekend. Sorry, The Rock. Is he joining this list of celebrities whose careers are hanging on by a thread? Messi crying is in the news. Vinnie reopens the lettuce controversy. More to come. What would you do for a Mountain Dew? Not much. America's taste in ice cream is vanilla. BTW, Vinnie is afraid of sharks.

I love Rock Fest. I miss being there. I had such a great time. But man, am I glad to be home and poop in my own toilet, shower in my own shower, and sleep in my own bed. Jean's out this morning as she went to AC/DC last night in Madison. So, I ran a couple of the interviews we recorded while in the radio booth at Rock Fest including my conversations with the Autumn Kings, Kami Kehoe, and Story of the Year! In the news this morning, the explosive diarrhea has been traced back to some lettuce, the WI DNR extends their air quality advisory until noon today, David Crowley is back in the race for Governor of WI after getting an endorsement from Tony Evers, a man drowned in the Chippewa River after fleeing from police, and a start-up company is taking orders on survival pods! In sports, the Brewers restart the regular season with a sweep of the Marlins, Spain beats Argentina to claim the World Cup title and they got PAID by FIFA…which might be why they're trying to sell all that grass from the field in New Jersey(which isn't going over too well in the Garden State). Let you know what's on TV & streaming today/tonight and talked about the most-watched series on Netflix from the last four years. Plus, is Darius Rucker calling it a career? Today happens to be the anniversary of the release of the original "Neverending Story" movie…which lines up nicely with this story about a pony that almost suffered the same fate at Artax, but was rescued by a fire department in PA. And speaking of nice saves, check out this guy who used his own vehicle to stop a runaway vehicle in Washington. Elsewhere in the world of sports, Joey Logano gets his first win of the NASCAR season, Connor Bedard gets a contract extension, Cam Skattebo scares Giants fans by trying to do a flip at FanFest, Saquon Barkley's house gets robbed, Conor McGregor talks about the injuries he sustained during his last fight, and apparently…Madison Square Garden keeps a list of artists that may be difficult to deal with. In today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy in Texas who just got his 12th OWI, a #FloridaMan who tried switching seats with his passenger after getting pulled over, a guy who fell into the tank of a porta potty and had to be cut out by a fire department, a woman who got busted with drugs hidden all over & in her body, a woman who was driving around naked with a bunch of drugs & guns in her car.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Back in action on a Monday, and today Dave reacted to the World Cup ending, shared the things we learned along the way, and even took grief from a British woman who was here for it but didn't like our food! The nerve. Some idiot got stuck in a porta-potty, a family was shocked at a discovery inside their AirBnB, and a Canadian mother was asleep throughout her entire delivery of her baby! So Dave hit the phones to find out the most inappropriate place you passed out! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on ‘Geriatric' Mamas, Sonia and Jessica are back with one of those conversations that starts with a porta potty disaster and somehow ends with true crime, unsolicited Instagram DMs, beach bacteria, questionable daycare decisions, and the universal realization that adulthood is honestly just one long series of plot twists. Sonia shares the story of accidentally falling out of a porta potty at a church moms' meetup (yes, really), while Jessica dives into the bizarre reality of reopening her Instagram after divorce and discovering that apparently unsolicited anatomy photos are still considered a conversation starter. The moms also unpack the latest updates in the shocking Taylor Parker case, discuss the controversy surrounding melatonin patches reportedly being used in daycare settings without parental consent, debate whether Maine's beaches are secretly plotting against summer, and swap stories about parenting toddlers, family vacations, playground fails, and the moments that make you wonder how any of us are successfully keeping tiny humans alive.

If you've ever wondered how a perfectly normal conversation can derail into a heated debate over Chinese food, porta potty etiquette, and whether anyone should willingly climb the Eiffel Tower, congratulations—you've found your people.On today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, the gang celebrates National Corn on the Cob Day by immediately attacking corn on the cob. Riz admits he shaves his corn like a man trying to avoid commitment, while everyone else questions his methods and his patriotism.Then things get weird.Moon shares a story about accidentally going full grumpy-grandpa on a door-to-door pest control salesman, proving that "No thanks, no time" might be the most Midwestern insult ever invented. The crew debates whether random conversations with strangers are charming or terrifying, and Chris Kerber joins the show to discuss everything from smartphone dependency to Stanley Cup Finals chaos.Speaking of chaos, Chris breaks down one of the wildest championship series hockey fans have seen in years, complete with comebacks, questionable goaltending, and enough drama to keep sports radio employed through the summer.The emails somehow crank the insanity up another level.Rafe receives support for creating a birthday registry despite being a fully grown adult. Then we uncover one of the greatest stories in show history: a decades-old football game against a tiny Illinois town called Oblong that ended with a bench-clearing brawl, police escorts, and Rafe personally taking responsibility for nearly starting an interstate incident.As if that wasn't enough, a listener asks whether it's acceptable for random neighbors to use a contractor's porta potty sitting outside your house. This sparks an unexpectedly passionate discussion about public restroom rights, weighted-vest walkers, and why nobody wants to think too hard about what may have happened inside that portable toilet.The international portion of today's program features travel advice for Riz's upcoming trip overseas, including warnings about European air conditioning, neck fans, and why apparently everyone except Riz thinks he should go to the top of the Eiffel Tower.Finally, the crew closes things out with an all-time food debate: if you could only eat one cuisine for the rest of your life, what would it be? Mexican food gets passionate support, Chinese food launches a counteroffensive, Mediterranean food sneaks into the conversation, and friendships are tested in ways no one could have predicted.It's another completely normal day for your favorite daily comedy show—which means absolutely nothing about it is normal.Whether you're here for the hockey talk, the weird news, the food arguments, or just watching grown adults passionately debate miniature corn cobs, this episode delivers exactly the kind of beautiful nonsense you've come to expect from The Rizzuto Show.Thanks for making us part of your routine.

See what the team at The Successful Bookkeeper has on right now → Sammy Mattingly and Fred Ott co-founded Mattingly & Ott Financial Accounting in their mid-twenties, with backgrounds in Big Four auditing and investment management — and a brief, memorable detour into portable sanitation. In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, they walk through the early decisions that shaped their firm: getting certified, landing first clients, and discovering that digital ads were no substitute for showing up in person. Chapters [00:00] Cold open and intro [01:18] Sammy's listener origin story [03:15] Backgrounds before bookkeeping [06:30] The porta potty adventure [11:00] Finding bookkeeping on YouTube [13:00] Five-week plan and first clients [16:00] Why paid ads flopped [18:30] Discovering networking as a strategy [21:00] Building one-to-one meeting habits [24:30] Shifting to strategic partnerships From Porta Potties to ProAdvisor Before bookkeeping, Sammy and Fred tried their hand at entrepreneurship the hard way — buying 20 used porta potties off a site called Crapper King, shipping them across the country on a semi-truck, and eventually moving them on Facebook Marketplace after a good pressure wash. The experience wasn't profitable, but it was formative. As Michael notes on the show, it gave them a layer of genuine empathy for clients: "They don't have all the answers, they're making mistakes, they're trying to figure it out." After a few more ideas, a YouTube video on starting a bookkeeping firm was all the spark Sammy needed. "I watched it, and I was like, well, if this guy can do it, Fred and I can do this." The Five-Week Launch Plan Once they committed to bookkeeping, Sammy and Fred moved fast. They built a five-week plan: get QuickBooks certified, become ProAdvisors, and land one client. Two large cleanup projects came through the QuickBooks ProAdvisor directory almost immediately — enough to justify going full-time. Fred describes those first weeks as equal parts doing the work and learning on the fly: "We were certified in QuickBooks, but it's like — we've got to figure out how this works. We've never done a QuickBooks cleanup for this type of company before." Why Paid Ads Weren't the Answer With their first projects underway, they turned to paid social media ads hoping to fill the pipeline. Six weeks and 15 or 16 leads later, the results were discouraging — contacts who were hard to reach and nowhere near ready to hire a bookkeeper. "We were finding they were all super unqualified," Fred says. That dead end turned out to be the pivot point. A conversation with a local small business attorney introduced a word they'd barely considered: networking. Networking as a Growth Engine Neither Sammy nor Fred would describe themselves as natural networkers — both lean introverted. But they committed fully, spending two to three months filling their days with open networking events and one-to-one coffee meetings. The accountability of working as a team made the difference: knowing the other person was putting in the effort kept each of them showing up. Fred's father, a career salesman, gave them the frame they needed: "Unseen, unheard, unsold." They tracked weekly one-to-one meeting goals, walked up to strangers, shook hands, and asked people to coffee — regardless of whether an obvious business connection was visible. Strategic Relationships Over Volume Over time, the approach evolved from broad networking to targeted relationship-building. Sammy describes the shift as following the data: "We took a step back and we were like, okay, what percentage of our referrals is coming from CPAs or whoever? And it's like, okay, well, if 80, 90% of our referrals are coming from these types of people, we need to go to rooms where there are these types of people." Tax preparers, business brokers, and other professionals who rarely attend networking events became the focus — making Mattingly & Ott's presence at those events even more valuable. Links mentioned Pure Bookkeeping — the system Sammy and Fred found through the podcast Pixie — practice management tool they discovered through The Successful Bookkeeper thesuccessfulbookkeeper.com — resources, episode search, and Ask the Show feature About the guests Sammy Mattingly and Fred Ott are co-founders of Mattingly & Ott Financial Accounting, LLC. High school friends turned business partners, they launched their bookkeeping firm roughly a year and a half ago and went full-time within the first few months. Sammy brings a background in Big Four audit; Fred comes from investment management. Together they serve small, service-based businesses and have built their client base almost entirely through in-person networking and strategic referral relationships. Part 2 of their conversation covers how those relationships translate into referral systems and scalable growth. About the hostMichael PalmerMichael Palmer is the host of The Successful Bookkeeper podcast and co-founder of Pure Bookkeeping and The Successful Bookkeeper. He started this work because of his father — a brilliant electrical contractor who worked twice as hard as he should have had to, because nobody on the financial side was in his corner. That gap is what The Successful Bookkeeper exists to close. His view: bookkeepers are the most undervalued force in small business — and every bookkeeper who builds a real business changes two families: theirs, and their clients'.

Dopey Film Festival: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 Listen without ads www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on the Wednesday Dose of Dopey, Dave opens the show with Brer Brian's Dopey Wednesday anthem and immediately starts hustling tickets for the upcoming Dopey Short Film Festival in New York City. Dave explains that only nine tickets have sold so far and promises cheap tickets, food, fellowship, desserts, filmmakers, and recovery community vibes. He begs the Dopey Nation to come out and support the event while Winnie the dog barks in the background. Before getting to the main interview, Dave plays an absolutely insane voicemail from longtime Dopey contributor JD DeHart about surviving a cocaine overdose during a three-day binge in a trailer in Mississippi when he was 20 years old. JD describes an old-school coke and crack marathon involving an entire ounce of cocaine, nonstop shooting coke, smoking crack, drinking beer, no sleep, no food, and no water. He vividly recounts doing a gigantic shot of cocaine and suddenly entering a terrifying paralysis where he could hear and see everything but couldn't move a single part of his body. JD compares the experience to the Metallica “One” video and explains how his paranoid dealer friend may have saved his life by slapping him awake, giving him water and food, and slowly bringing him out of the overdose. Naturally, once he recovered, the first thing he did was smoke an enormous crack hit. Dave praises the voicemail and thanks JD for consistently contributing incredible stories to the show. Dave then dives into Patreon and Spotify comments responding to last week's controversial Blake Mycoskie episode. Listeners debate rich-guy recovery, psychedelic therapy, AI therapy, polo, founder culture, and whether wealthy people talking about depression is relatable to the average Dopey listener. Some commenters defend the episode and appreciate hearing about mental health and self-worth, while others say they turned it off the moment Blake started discussing AI therapy or learning polo in Argentina. Dave jokes that people should blame John Bukaty for bringing in “woo-woo guests,” but still says he genuinely liked Blake and appreciated trying something different. The comment section also leads to discussions about recovery, privilege, treatment access, government responsibility for addiction, and Dave's ongoing balancing act between growing Dopey and maintaining authenticity. Dave also reads a moving Spotify comment from a listener celebrating 120 days clean after a devastating relapse that nearly destroyed his marriage and relationship with his child. Other listeners compliment Dave's podcasting skills, compare his intros to Marc Maron, and joke about Tesla AI therapy and rich recovery people. Dave also contemplates launching a higher Patreon tier with an exclusive Zoom while openly joking about his “cynical cash grab” tendencies and his need to support his family. The centerpiece of the episode is Dave's long conversation with Skinny Vinny inside Steve-O's Wild Ride podcast van in Sherman Oaks, California. The interview covers almost every phase of Vinny's chaotic life story. Vinny explains how the Wild Ride podcast went on hiatus after backlash surrounding a sarcastic Steve-O clip from an episode with Harlan Williams that got taken out of context online. Vinny talks openly about Steve-O's sensitivity, internet outrage culture, and the emotional toll of constant public criticism. The conversation then shifts into Vinny's upbringing in Connecticut and his lifelong obsession with Jackass. Vinny tells the story of being a kid with a camera glued to his hand, idolizing Bam Margera and Jeff Tremaine, and eventually convincing Bam to punch him in the face at a skate shop signing when he was a teenager. Dave and Vinny reminisce about old Jackass dreams eventually becoming reality years later through recovery and content creation. Vinny dives deep into his addiction history, including following Phish and Bob Weir tours while constantly inhaling nitrous balloons in parking lots, discovering Silk Road drug markets in Vermont, and eventually falling into severe heroin addiction. He recounts horrifying years living in Vermont, where heroin was outrageously expensive, and where he watched his girlfriend overdose in front of her parents after both of them desperately tried to detox using kratom. Vinny also describes his obsession with needles, famously saying, “If I could rig it, I could dig it,” while discussing shooting heroin and eventually shooting liquid LSD purchased from Silk Road. One of the darkest sections of the interview involves Vinny describing his infamous “porta potty bottom.” After burning every bridge and alienating everyone in his life, Vinny ended up secretly living inside a handicapped-sized porta potty in Connecticut while hustling to survive. He explains his daily routine of waking up at sunrise, hiding blankets in bushes, charging his Obama phone at Dunkin Donuts, stealing energy drinks from grocery stores, selling them to bodegas, buying heroin and crack, and repeating the cycle endlessly. Dave and Vinny talk about the terrifying comfort that comes with fully accepting life as a hopeless junkie. Vinny also recounts his arrest, jail sentence, and the legendary “prison pocket” story. Knowing he had to turn himself in, Vinny literally trained his body to smuggle heroin, Xanax, rolling tobacco, papers, and even needles into jail. He explains how he eventually ran out of drugs behind bars and suffered brutally through withdrawal on the top bunk in jail while promising himself he'd never use again — only to get released and immediately return to hustling and heroin. The interview takes a more hopeful turn as Vinny explains how recovery unexpectedly transformed his life. He talks about meeting Zackass in sober living, becoming indispensable behind the camera, eventually becoming a co-host, and later joining Steve-O's Wild Ride. Vinny describes feeling like recovery gave him the exact life he fantasized about as a kid obsessed with Jackass culture. Dave and Vinny repeatedly discuss the strange intersection of manifestation, luck, spirituality, showing up, and being willing to work hard without getting high. Later in the interview, Vinny opens up emotionally about his failed marriage to a Canadian woman, the devastating heartbreak that followed, and the depression that nearly broke him. He describes locking himself in his apartment for 45 days, barely eating, crying himself to sleep, and seriously considering drinking despite years of sobriety. Instead of relapsing, Vinny redirected all of his pain into fitness, weight loss, and self-improvement. He explains how discovering peptides, returning to the gym, diving back into recovery meetings and service work, and focusing entirely on himself ultimately helped him lose over 200 pounds and completely transform his life. The episode ends with Vinny discussing his plans to open a sober living house called The Comeback with a former client from his early recovery days. Dave and Vinny also joke about Canadians, Dopeywood structure problems, podcasting, body dysmorphia, fear dreams, and the strange reality of surviving addiction long enough to accidentally build a meaningful life. Dave closes the episode asking listeners yet again to buy film festival tickets, join Patreon, leave Spotify comments, send voicemails, and stay involved in the Dopey community before ending, as always, with “Stay strong Dopey Nation and fucking toodles for Chris.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Somehow this episode starts with Point Fest excitement and ends with Edward Furlong becoming a Japanese pop star… and honestly? That tracks for this show.The gang gears up for Point Fest with ticket giveaways, meet-and-greet plans, and what may become the worst idea in festival history: Rafe conducting porta potty interviews by sliding microphones under stall doors like a sewer goblin with broadcasting credentials. If you're attending Point Fest, congratulations — your bathroom anxiety just became part of the entertainment package.Then the crew dives headfirst into A&E's newest chaotic masterpiece: Squatters. Meet Flash Shelton — a real-life “professional squatter remover” who reclaims homes by becoming even more annoying than the people illegally living there. We're talking pet snakes, buckets of crickets, couch invasions, and psychological warfare that somehow got turned into prestige television. Honestly, this funny podcast may have found its spiritual successor.The show also breaks down St. Louis' giant July 4th celebration featuring Ludacris, Miranda Lambert, Zedd, Stephen Marley, and the one true king of soundtrack glory: Kenny freakin' Loggins. The crew debates whether Ludacris should censor his songs for families, whether America deserves a four-day weekend for turning 250, and why Moon is probably already camping out for Loggins.In music news, Lern unleashes opinions on the new Foo Fighters Tiny Desk performance, MGK's latest attempt at musical identity discovery, and Gene Simmons' massive Las Vegas rock expo that sounds like Comic-Con for dads with leather vests and tinnitus.And then… things get weird.Rafe introduces the room to a long-lost relic from the early '90s: Edward Furlong's Japanese pop music career. Yes, John Connor from Terminator 2 recorded an actual album. Yes, there's a music video. Yes, it's horrifying. And yes, everyone's childhood gets damaged in real time.The crew also talks:Christopher Nolan's upcoming Odyssey movie dramaElon Musk being Elon MuskWhy True Detective Season 1 still rulesDisney's massive TV announcementsMorgan Wallen birthdaysGooey-faced adult film titles that should've stayed buried foreverBasically, it's another completely normal day for your favorite daily comedy show.

There were many tangents today, starting with imaginary friends leading to major pop culture spoilers! In Group Therapy, they were "on a break", which lead to "Friends" trivia and #missedconnections happened at porta potties yesterday at the bars!

If you think home improvement is stressful, wait until someone drops a porta potty in your neighbor's driveway and suddenly it's a lifestyle. On today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, what starts as innocent talk about retaining walls and contractor bids quickly devolves into speculation about construction crews, public bathrooms, and how long “temporary” really means.Then — because chaos demands structure — the crew launches into a matchup trivia game that absolutely no one is emotionally prepared for. Learn, Moon, Rafe, and King Scott put their pride on the line answering questions that sound easy but immediately expose how little we all truly know. Silly Putty history? Betrayal. Hollywood sign facts? Pain. The world's hottest pepper? Apparently negotiable depending on Rizz's mood that day.This funny podcast delivers everything you expect from The Rizzuto Show: loud confidence, wrong answers, passionate arguments about chef hats, and at least one perfect game being retroactively destroyed for no reason other than vibes. Dry ice breaks brains, horses become biological mysteries, and the Titanic's depth turns into a full-on debate nobody studied for.If you love daily chaos, questionable facts, and a funny podcast that feels like hanging out with friends who should not be trusted with trivia questions — you're in the right place. This episode is peak Rizz Show energy: sarcastic, self-aware, and absolutely unhinged in the most lovable way possible.Listen, laugh, yell at your speakers, and remember: confidence matters more than accuracy on this funny podcast.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.
