Podcast appearances and mentions of Reba McEntire

Nothing says “credible music journalism” quite like blindly ranking ten legendary rock bands without knowing which one is coming next. Welcome to another comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show, where Queen gets the throne, Metallica becomes the baseline for civilization, and somehow The Beatles end up staring directly at KISS's backside.We kick things off with a blind ranking of some of the biggest rock bands ever: Metallica, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Nirvana, Guns N' Roses, Pink Floyd, Queen, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and KISS. The rules are simple: once you place a band, you're stuck with it. Naturally, this creates an absolutely flawless list that no music fan could possibly have an issue with.Just kidding. It's a disaster.Metallica lands at number five and becomes the dividing line for the entire exercise. The Rolling Stones climb toward the top, AC/DC gets placed too low and immediately causes regret, Queen claims number one, and then The Beatles arrive after almost all the good spots have disappeared. The result? The Beatles finish DEAD LAST behind KISS.Music historians, please direct your complaints somewhere else. We have enough going on.That leads to a bigger Beatles debate as Rafe argues that the band deserves enormous credit for what they changed, but that doesn't mean everybody has to automatically put them at number one. Moon attempts to defend civilization. Lern reveals she does not suffer from “Beatle boner mania.” Somehow Michael McDonald becomes the secret fifth Beatle. This is why nobody lets us curate the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.Speaking of legendary musicians, the crew gets into the backlash surrounding a George Michael tribute featuring performers including Teddy Swims and Sombr. Some viewers were furious with the choices, while the show tries to determine what exactly would have made everybody happy. Adam Lambert gets some love, Andrew Ridgeley's name is miraculously remembered, and Riz discovers his biggest problem with Sombr may simply be that somebody stole the “E” from his name.Then Rafe's birthday completely takes over the studio.The crew surprises him with a brand-new grill for his new house, which immediately raises the question of whether they can fire it up inside the studio. For legal reasons and continued access to oxygen, the answer appears to be no.But the grill is only the beginning. Rafe gets a personal birthday message from Rick of Rick's Ace Hardware — whom Rafe immediately embraces as his new father — along with an Ace bucket loaded with homeowner supplies. It turns out Rafe's previous love for the store traveled up the Ace Hardware corporate ladder and was even shared at a company convention. That's right: Rafe somehow became an Ace Hardware influencer without even trying. Take that, every 22-year-old making sponsored TikToks.There are also homemade deviled eggs, handmade coasters featuring Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and even Rafe's own dog, plus the discovery that Rafe shares a birthday with Monica Bellucci. At this point the man has a grill, deviled eggs, a bucket and Monica Bellucci spiritually connected to him through a calendar. There's nowhere left to go.And because this comedy podcast refuses to stay in one lane, Crap on Celebrities brings even more chaos: Slipknot and Marilyn Manson tour backlash, a Linkin Park documentary, Taylor Swift's former Beverly Hills home hitting the market, Diddy prison reports, Raven-Symoné revealing an extremely specific period routine, a Rick Wakeman concert for rescued bears, a heavy Matthew Perry documentary, and wildly divided reactions to a new Tom Cruise movie.There's rock history, birthday surprises, celebrity news, angry music fans and enough hardware-store enthusiasm to make a suburban dad shed a single tear into his freshly cut lawn.Happy birthday, Rafe.

Joey, Nancy, and Karly talked about all the hype leading up to the UT-Texas game and agreed the traffic disaster everyone predicted never really happened. They also discussed celebrity sightings, including Glen Powell, Johnny Knoxville, Thomas Rhett, Emily Ann Roberts, and the President's visit to Neyland Stadium. WIVK officially unveiled its new studio phone number, 865-489-1077. Karly called in live to test it and confirmed everything was working. Nancy shared a frustrating encounter with a woman who gave her unsolicited advice about migraines. After being questioned about her sleep, diet, and water intake, Nancy delivered a funny on-air rant about not having the luxury of a perfect wellness routine. Heather Harrington enlisted Joey and Nancy to wake up her sons, Gus and Woodrow, for the Monday morning wake up call. A man named Chuck called the station claiming he'd been assigned WIVK's old phone number. Throughout the morning, he became increasingly frustrated as listeners kept calling, texting, and entering contests on his phone by mistake. Hot Tea: Ella Langley sparked reactions online after responding "There's not enough in the world" when a fan shouted through a parking garage asking how many TikTok likes it would take to get a date with her.

The show wrapped up by talking about strange Halloween-themed foods, including glow-in-the-dark Hidden Valley Ranch and blood-red "vampire noodles," agreeing that foods with unusual colors are hard to eat even when they taste the same.

Thirty years ago Reba McEntire released a song, “If I Had Only Known”It is a typically “country” tear jerkerIf I had only knownIt was the last walk in the rainI'd keep you out for hours in the stormI would hold your handLike a life line to my heartUnderneath the thunder we'd be warmIf I had only knownIt was our last walk in the rainIf I had only knownI'd never hear your voice againI'd memorize each thing you ever said . . . etcetera– it hits a nerve, because we've all felt the regret it expresses• things would be different not; would have been avoided; or would have turned out better◦ if only we had known– that's the reason, for the second time, Joel says, “Blast the ram's horn in Zion”• the first time, in verse 1, it was to sound the alarm regarding the approaching invasion◦ this time it is a call to action• a terrible disaster is approaching Jerusalem,◦ but something can be done – the city can be saved

What's up, dudes? I'm dreaming of a white Christmas… and also punk Christmas, pizza-place Christmas, power-metal Christmas, and New Kids on the Block Christmas! Today we're diving into the '80s versions of Irving Berlin's classic “White Christmas!”Before the neon snowstorm hits, a quick rewind: Berlin wrote it around 1940, Bing Crosby introduced it on radio at Christmas 1941, then recorded it May 29, 1942 for Holiday Inn. Wartime America lost its mind for that wistful fireplace fantasy — 11 weeks at No. 1, an Oscar for Best Original Song, the 1954 movie, a 1947 re-record that became the one everybody knows, and roughly 50 million copies as the best-selling physical single ever. So of course the '80s had to get weird with it. Country legends, pop stars, punks, metalheads, jazz cats, claymation raisins, and yes — animatronic ShowBiz Pizza bears — all took a crack at dreaming of a white one.Punked-up Yobs? Check. Animatronic Rock-afire Explosion? Got it. Helloween sneaking holiday chaos onto a metal EP? Absolutely radical! So dust off the vinyl, cue up the cassette (or that shiny new CD), and dream along with this episode on “'80s Versions of White Christmas!”Give us a buzz!

In the autumn of 1963, as students were adjusting to a new school year, a song that hit the charts sparked the imagination of all the aspiring folksingers in our area.Radio stations throughout the Huntington-Ashland-Ironton area 63 years ago this fall seemed to hourly played Bobby Bare's new song. “500 Miles Away From Home” had a special local interest, because Bobby is famously one of us.We all knew the young singer/songwriter had been born in 1935 in Ironton, Ohio, where he led a hard-scrabble life. His mother died when Bobby was just five years old, and his father, unable to feed and care for the children himself, was forced to split up the family. By the time he was 15, Bobby was working to help make ends meet, first on a farm and later in nearby factories. At the same time, Bare discovered his love of music and built his own guitar out of a coffee can and a stick. “I got some strings off of a screen door and wired it up,” he once told filmmaker Ken Burns. “I'd sit around and flog on that, you know?”In 1953, an 18-year-old Bobby Bare left Ohio, catching a ride to California and playing music all along the way, earning tips to help pay for the gas. Those days of struggle were much on his mind a decade later when he began crafting his version of “500 Miles.” Bare, as we reported here in an earlier article, recalled years later how the song came to him while returning from a gig.“I was driving back from San Diego one night,” Bare told interviewer Gary James. “I was surfin' the radio and I heard Peter, Paul And Mary singing the old campfire version of ‘500 Miles' and I thought, ‘Boy, that's great!'”As soon as he got home to his North Hollywood apartment — down the street from his sometimes drinking buddy, Glen Campbell — “I got Glen's album and it was an instrumental. There were no lyrics.”Now the story turns to Bare's friend Charlie Williams, whom Bobby called up. “I said, ‘Hey Charlie, come over and let's write some lyrics to this.'”“500 Miles” put Bobby Bare firmly on the musical map. His version, recorded for RCA, became a Top 10 hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, as well as a Top 5 hit on both the country and adult contemporary charts. (Incidentally, on that same album, Bobby's take on “Abilene” would influence The Flood's take on that tune as well.)About the Song As Autumn 1963 rolled on, “500 Miles Away from Home” had an impact on all those fledgling guitarists who were starting to answer the call to come to folk music. On park benches and in living rooms, at parties and in bars, on school buses and in nascent coffee houses, earnest young singers were sharing those poignant lyrics: Teardrops fell on mama's note when I read the way she wrote. She said, “We miss you, son. We love you. Come on home.” I didn't have to pack. I had it all right on my back. Now I'm five hundred miles away from home.Detective WorkThe more scholarly among those early song-slingers/-hunters wanted to trace the roots of Bare's source song. Sure, Bobby told that interviewer he had been inspired by a radio broadcast of an “old campfire” song by Peter, Paul and Mary, but where did they get it?As reported here earlier, the composition of “500 Miles” is generally credited to one of Flood co-founder Dave Peyton's favorite folksinger, Hedy West. (As noted, Peyton even brought another of Hedy's tunes — “Gambling Man” — into the early Flood repertoire.)”500 Miles” went on to be covered by everyone from The Kingston Trio and The Country Gentlemen to Sonny & Cher, from The Brothers Four and Elvis to Reba McEntire, Jackie DeShannon and Johnny Rivers. Internationally, it has been recorded in Albanian, Assamese, Bengali, Chinese, Czech, Finnish, French, Germany, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Slovenian, Spanish and Vietnamese.More Flood Folkishness?Meanwhile, if all this folk talk has you wanting more of The Flood's roots repertoire, drop by our free Radio Floodango music streaming feature and click on the Folk Channel.

Host Jo Reed and contributor Leslie Fine discuss three new works of fiction that take listeners from 1980s New York to midcentury Florida and, finally, to a complicated homecoming in the present-day Adirondacks. Dion Graham returns to Ray Carney's world in Colson Whitehead's Cool Machine, bringing rhythm, humor, and depth to Ray's divided life in Harlem. Amanda Stribling gives Laura Moriarty's novel Sunlight Finds You the intimacy of a memoir, subtly carrying Nora from childhood into adulthood while grounding the novel's larger emotional turns. And Richard Russo's Under the Falls unfolds through an ensemble cast whose performances keep this story of a musician's uneasy return home engaging as old relationships, resentments, and secrets begin to surface. Together, the three audiobooks show just how much the meeting of narrator and novel can shape the listening experience.   Audiobooks Discussed: Cool Machine by Colson Whitehead, read by Dion Graham (Random House Audio) Sunlight Finds You by Laura Moriarty, read by Amanda Stribling (Penguin Audio) Under the Falls by Richard Russo, read by Zachary Chastain, Emma Ladji, Matt Godfrey, Fred Berman & Leeanna Albanese (Random House Audio)   This is the final episode of Behind the Mic.

Hannah Dasher doesn't need Nashville's permission to be country. Since taking control of her career in 2021, Hannah has built an audience without radio, stayed loyal to the music she believes in, and made a living without waiting for the industry's gatekeepers to tell her she belongs. Recorded on the day the world lost Dolly Parton, the conversation begins with Dolly's influence and turns into a full debate over country music's real Mount Rushmore. Bocephus, Jamey Johnson, Alan Jackson, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Charlie Daniels, Reba McEntire, Tom Petty, Travis Tritt, and Clint Black all enter the argument. Hannah also talks honestly about the years she spent chasing the next big moment, the victories she forgot to celebrate, and the songs she refuses to let disappear. She explains why awards and industry approval no longer define success for her and how faith helped her stop comparing her road to everybody else's. Chad and Hannah get into songwriting, Jamey Johnson, Brent Cobb, Luke Bryan, Chris Knight, Southern cooking, and the three years it took Hannah to create her cookbook, Stand By Your Pan. Hannah Dasher knows exactly who she is. Country artist. Songwriter. Author. Entertainer. She built her own lane, and she has no intention of slowing down. This episode is presented by Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey and brought to you by The Provider Culinary, CamoSpace, Demerbox, ZLINE Appliances, GATR Coolers & Drinkware, Mickey Thompson Tires & Wheels, Corning Ford, Resistol Hats, Oakley Sunglasses, and LEER Truck Toppers.

Jo Reed talks with contributor Alan Minskoff about three memoirs shaped by home and the complicated question of where we belong. In All That's Unseen, Emilee Hackney narrates the story of her journey from an insular Pentecostal community in Southwest Virginia to Harvard University, with an Appalachian accent that keeps her connection to home unmistakably present, even as her world expands. Vincent Coppola's Gowanus Crossing, narrated by Paul Bellantoni, takes listeners to the Brooklyn neighborhood of Coppola's childhood, capturing its Italian American families, Catholic schools, street life, and the rough world surrounding the Gowanus Canal. Earphones Award winner Bellantoni particularly shines when he takes on the voices and rhythms of the neighborhood. And in Scavenging Beauty, Angelica Glass narrates her account of walking nearly 2,900 miles through Santa Cruz County, using the landscape and the act of walking to look back at a difficult childhood. Three lives become stories about the places that form us—and how we carry those places with us as we move on.   Audiobooks Discussed: All That's Unseen, written and narrated by Emilee Hackney (Penguin Audio) Gowanus Crossing: A Brooklyn Boyhood by Vincent Coppola, read by Paul Bellantoni (Macmillan Audio) Scavenging Beauty, written and read by Angelica Glass (Penguin Audio)   Support for Kirkus' Behind the Mic comes from Harper Audio, producer of audiobooks by HarperCollins Focus and HarperCollins Christian Publishing,  publishers of some of your favorite authors, including Reba McEntire, Bob Goff, Savannah Guthrie, Max Lucado, Lysa TerKeurst, and many more.

Ben and Rob head underground for Tremors, Ron Underwood's 1990 monster comedy that turned a killer-worm B-movie premise into one of the most beloved cult classics of the home-video era. Directed by Underwood in his feature debut, from a script by S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock, the film stars Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, Finn Carter, Michael Gross and Reba McEntire (in her acting debut) as the residents of an isolated Nevada town who discover something enormous is hunting them from beneath the dirt.What did it actually take for two writers to get this thing made on their own terms, and where did an idea this strange even come from in the first place? What was going on in Kevin Bacon's career that made this the role he took and the one he'd spend years trying to distance himself from before changing his mind entirely? How much of what makes this monster still work comes down to old-fashioned, hands-on craft rather than anything flashy? And when the film itself keeps daring you to guess where these things came from, is that an open question worth taking seriously, or the whole point of the joke?And finally… what does it really mean?!Find us on your socials of choice at www.linktr.ee/everymovieeverpodcastIf you enjoyed the show and want more, head on over to Patreon and enjoy heaps of exclusive content there!

Jo Reed talks with Laura Rossi about three Earphones Award–winning audiobooks that showcase the range and power of great narration. In Caro Claire Burke's Yesteryear, Rebecca Lowman gives surprising dimension to a deeply unlikable trad-wife influencer whose carefully constructed life takes an unexpected turn. Jenny Jackson's The Shampoo Effect, read by Marin Ireland, follows four complicated women through a summer in coastal Massachusetts, with Ireland making each character distinct through subtle shifts in rhythm, pitch, and attitude. And in Transcendent, Laverne Cox narrates her own story with vulnerability and candor, sharing painful experiences from her childhood and reflecting on gender, race, and the struggle to live as her authentic self. Three very different audiobooks, each offering its own reminder of what makes listening such a distinctive experience.   Audiobooks Discussed: Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke, read by Rebecca Lowman (Random House Audio) The Shampoo Effect by Jenny Jackson, read by Marin Ireland (Penguin Audio) Transcendent: A Memoir written and read by Laverne Cox (Simon & Schuster Audio)   Support for Behind the Mic with Kirkus Reviews comes from Harper Audio, producer of audiobooks by HarperCollins Focus and HarperCollins Christian Publishing, publishers of some of your favorite authors, including Reba McEntire, Bob Goff, Savannah Guthrie, Max Lucado, Lysa TerKeurst, and so many more!

Dubbed the "Queen of Country", Parton was one of the most honored country performers, earning eleven Grammy Awards and three Emmy Awards, as well as nominations for two Academy Awards, six Golden Globes and a Tony Award. She was also known for her cultural influence and philanthropy via Dollywood and the Dollywood Foundation. With more than 100 million records sold, Parton is among the best-selling music artists of all time.Born into poverty, Parton would write her first song aged six, perform regularly on TV by age ten, make her first recording at eleven, and became a professional songwriter at sixteen. After writing songs for others, she released her debut album, Hello, I'm Dolly (1967), starting a nearly 60-year career. She released 49 studio albums and wrote more than 3,000 songs, including "I Will Always Love You" (a two-time U. S. country chart-topper and an international success for Whitney Houston that sold 24 million copies worldwide), "Jolene", "Coat of Many Colors", and "9 to 5". Onscreen, Parton starred in 9 to 5 (1980) and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982), both earning Golden Globe nominations, plus Rhinestone (1984), Steel Magnolias (1989), Straight Talk (1992), and Joyful Noise (2012).

We share more memories of Dolly Parton from listeners and from Reba McEntire and Kenny Rogers talking about her. We talked about a golf ad that faced a severe backlash and calls for a product boycott after releasing an online promotional video that depicted a male founder shoving a female creator to the ground over a new co-branded driver. We debate whether or not it was made with ill intent. Bobby talked about yesterday being a sad day after getting the news of Dolly Parton passing away. Amy shared a really cool story she heard from Julia Roberts about Dolly.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The world is mourning the loss of country music legend, actor, and philanthropist Dolly Parton, who has passed away in Nashville at age 80 after a brief battle with cancer. In this special tribute episode of The Quicky, we celebrate the extraordinary life, sharp business acumen, and generous spirit of an icon who brought light to generations. In this episode, you'll learn: The surprising alternative currency her family used to pay the local doctor on the day she was born, long before she built a multi-million-dollar empire. Why she boldly turned down Elvis Presley over one of her biggest songs—and how that single decision reshaped music history for future generations of artists. The staggering scale of her quiet philanthropic work, from donating millions of books to funding major medical breakthroughs behind the scenes. The secret track locked away at Dollywood that no one is allowed to hear yet, and the massive collection of unreleased music she left behind. We're joined by Cameron Adams, Australia's leading music journalist, who reflects on meeting Dolly at her Nashville compound and breaks down why she was perhaps "the last person on Earth that everyone loved." Also in today's headlines: Why Commissioner Virginia Bell has requested a short delay for the Anti-Semitism Royal Commission's final report, and the solemn anniversary the move aims to respect. The proposed green energy rules for massive new AI data centres, and why key state leaders are already pushing back against Anthony Albanese.

Host Jo Reed talks with Kirkus young readers' editor Laura Simeon about three middle-grade audiobooks that explore difficult subjects with honesty, empathy, and respect for young listeners. In Phoenix by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, narrator Emma Ladji brings warmth and steadiness to young Harper's story as she navigates her parents' divorce, shifting friendships, and the rescued horse who becomes central to her new life. Karise Yansen's calm, measured narration of Matthew Fox's The Lovely Dark grounds a lyrical story of grief, loss, and the afterlife in vivid emotional reality. And in Tae Keller's When Tomorrow Burns, a seamless ensemble cast—Eddy Lee, Annie Q. Riegel, Sara Matsui-Colby, Emily Woo Zeller, and Tae Keller—captures the uncertainty and intensity of middle school friendships unfolding against the backdrop of climate anxiety and change. Together, these audiobooks recognize that middle-grade kids confront complicated situations and deserve stories that speak to those uncertainties with honesty and care.   Audiobooks Discussed: Phoenix by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, read by Emma Ladji (Listening Library)   The Lovely Dark by Matthew Fox, read by Karise Yansen (Hachette Audio)   When Tomorrow Burns by Tae Keller, read by Eddy Lee, Annie Q.

If you've ever stared out into your backyard and thought, "You know what this place needs? A lazy river, a Japanese meditation garden, a Batcave, and a giant statue of Reba McEntire with questionable design choices," congratulations—you think exactly like The Rizzuto Show.On today's daily comedy show, the gang goes all-in on designing their ultimate fantasy backyards. Moon dreams of peaceful creeks, multiple fire pits, pools maintained by somebody else, and enough room for dogs to roam free. Lern builds a bluff-top paradise complete with waterfalls, outdoor movie screens, retro hot tubs, and a luxury catio because apparently the cats deserve vacation property too. Rafe creates a property that somehow combines Jurassic Park, Feudal Japan, Batman, and a corn maze. Scott turns his backyard into a beach resort, transportation museum, BMX park, and cow sanctuary. And Rizz? Let's just say his backyard includes holographic dragons, robotic guard dogs, stealth drones, concert-grade sound systems, and enough security measures to make a Bond villain blush.As if that wasn't ridiculous enough, the conversation takes a sharp turn into nightmare fuel when invasive hammerhead worms are reportedly spotted in South County. These creepy little monsters can regenerate if chopped up, secrete toxins, and apparently look like something that escaped from an alien science experiment. Naturally, the gang responds with the appropriate level of panic, sarcasm, and confusion.Then there's the mysterious gas pump screw scam. Is it real? Is it fake? Did the internet invent another thing for us to worry about? The crew investigates, debates, and slowly realizes that maybe not every viral warning deserves immediate panic. Still, check your gas pump...or don't. We're not lawyers.The show also dives into one of the wildest local stories you'll hear this year: a superintendent hired by a Missouri school district who never worked a single day but still walked away with roughly a quarter-million dollars. It's the kind of story that makes every employed person immediately reconsider their career choices.Plus: secret bunker stories, hidden rooms behind bookshelves, locker memories, school bathroom mirror controversies, trampoline debates, old-school pranks, and a glimpse into the absurdly expensive world of Silicon Valley luxury escorts because apparently that's where the conversation ended up.It's another completely normal day on The Rizzuto Show. Which means absolutely none of it is normal.If you're looking for a daily comedy show packed with hilarious conversations, weird news, local stories, and the kind of chaos that only happens when six friends are handed microphones, you're in the right place.Thanks for making The Rizzuto Show part of your daily comedy show routine.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.

Host Jo Reed talks with contributor Leslie Fine about three audiobooks that range from memoir to thriller to literary biography. They begin with Unread: A Memoir of Learning (and Loving) To Read on TikTok by Oliver James, where narrator James Shippy brings warmth and enthusiasm to the author's account of achieving literacy as an adult and discovering the enduring pleasures of books. Then, they turn to Tiffany Crum's This Story Might Save Your Life. Driven by the energetic, emotionally layered narration of Julia Whelan and Sean Patrick Hopkins, its use of podcast clips, voicemail messages, and layered audio production heightens a suspenseful missing-person mystery. And they end with Judy Blume: A Life by Mark Oppenheimer; Molly Ringwald's warm, quietly authoritative narration guides listeners through the career of an author whose books have shaped generations of readers. Together, these audiobooks prove that the right narrator can turn a good story into an irresistible listen.

From haunted New Jersey suburbs to melancholy Irish landscapes to the contested wilds of the American West, Alan Minskoff joins host Jo Reed to discuss three sharply different works of fiction in audio. Tom Perrotta's Ghost Town, narrated by Robert Petkoff, blends grief, adolescence, and the supernatural through Petkoff's nuanced character work, while Derbhle Crotty and Darragh Shannon bring quiet emotional precision to The News From Dublin, evoking the atmosphere of longing and displacement in Colm Tóibín's story collection. The conversation closes with Taylor Brown's Wolvers, read by Ramiz Monsef, whose vivid performance captures the tensions between ranchers, militias, environmentalists, and wolves in the modern West. These audiobooks may share little besides the genre of fiction, but each narrator creates a fully realized world listeners can step into and stay with long after the final chapter.   Audiobooks Discussed: Ghost Town by Tom Perrotta, read by Robert Petkoff (Simon & Schuster Audio) The News From Dublin: Stories by Colm Tóibín, read by Derbhle Crotty and Darragh Shannon (Simon & Schuster Audio) Wolvers by Taylor Brown, read by Ramiz Monsef (Recorded Books Inc.)   Support for Behind the Mic comes from HarperCollins Focus and HarperCollins Christian Publishing, publishers of some of your favorite audiobooks and authors, including Reba McEntire, Bob Goff, Savannah Guthrie, Max Lucado, Lysa TerKeurst, and many more.     Learn more about your ad choices.

The chaos level on today's episode somehow exceeded “Florida news headline” and entered full-blown county fair fever dream territory. The gang kicks things off by honoring local legend Steve Lewandowski with the first-ever Swamp Justice Medal of Freedom after his heroic moment at a Cardinals game. It's heartfelt, inspiring… and immediately derailed by improvised ceremonial music, fake government awards, and discussions about “elite Midwestern restraint.” Honestly? The Smithsonian should already be calling.Then things take a sharp left turn directly into the corn dog dimension when Rafe discovers that Reba McEntire is engaged — and absolutely does not take the news well. What follows is one of the most unhinged love monologues in recent show history involving disguises, wedding sabotage, miniature donkeys, emotional support corn dogs, and a Tennessee ranch showdown that somehow feels both illegal and deeply patriotic. Rex Lynn, if you're listening… maybe hire security.But wait. The internet got weird again. The crew dives headfirst into the disturbing trend of “ball maxing,” where dudes are apparently inflating themselves like carnival prizes in pursuit of alpha status. If you've ever wanted to hear grown adults discuss saline-filled testicles with the seriousness of a congressional hearing, congratulations: this funny podcast has arrived precisely for you.And because the universe clearly wasn't finished humiliating humanity, the gang uncovers reports of “Ozempic penis,” inspiring an all-time fake 1970s TV theme song for Inner Shaft — the private investigator whose confidence grew three inches overnight. There are disco vocals. There are inappropriate metaphors. There's at least one sentence that should probably be studied by scientists.Also included in today's disaster:Pointfest hype and backstage chaosFake medals for journalistic integrityCorn dog-based relationship counselingReba fan-fiction nobody asked forMen voluntarily becoming water balloonsThe greatest cassette tape “discovery” in show historyA level of stupidity that should qualify for federal fundingIf you love sarcastic humor, weird news, ridiculous commentary, celebrity chaos, and a morning show that routinely derails itself before 8am, congratulations — this is your new emotional support broadcast. The Rizzuto Show continues proving that no topic is too dumb to overcommit to.Whether you're here for the swamp justice, the corn dog seduction arc, or simply because hearing the phrase “Ozempic penis” in traffic makes your commute less depressing, this funny podcast has exactly what your damaged little heart needs.And remember: if a stranger ever hands your spouse a corn dog at a wedding… it may already be too late.Thanks for listening to another episode of the funny podcast proudly lowering the national IQ one segment at a time.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.

The Rizzuto Show returns with another completely unhinged episode packed with heroic swamp justice, emotional damage, celebrity chaos, and enough playground nostalgia to make you smell cafeteria pizza again. This comedy podcast starts strong with the crew preparing for Pointfest weekend before immediately derailing into one of the greatest fake award ceremonies in show history: the official presentation of the first-ever Swamp Justice Medal of Freedom.After a St. Louis Cardinals fan bravely stepped in during a dangerous moment at Busch Stadium, the show decides the man deserves recognition the mainstream media apparently refused to provide. Naturally, this turns into a fully orchestrated patriotic tribute involving dramatic speeches, fake medals, Midwestern heroism, and several moments that somehow feel both sincere and completely ridiculous at the same time. Honestly, it might be the proudest moment in modern broadcasting. Or the dumbest. Hard to tell anymore.Then things somehow become even more unstable.Rafe discovers that Reba McEntire is engaged and reacts with the emotional maturity of a raccoon trapped inside a fireworks store. What follows is one of the most absurd comedy bits in recent memory as he describes crashing Reba's future wedding disguised as a corn dog vendor while professing his undying love in front of longhorn cattle, miniature donkeys, and deeply uncomfortable wedding guests. If you've ever wondered what would happen if romantic fan fiction collided with state fair cuisine, this comedy podcast has your answer.The crew also debates the saddest movie deaths of all time and accidentally turns the studio into a trauma support group. From Bing Bong and Mufasa to Armageddon, The Green Mile, Forrest Gump, Logan, and My Girl, absolutely nobody escapes emotional devastation. Moon somehow tries to sneak Jesus Christ into the conversation, which honestly feels very on-brand at this point.Elsewhere in the episode:Mini Kiss stories somehow dominate an entire segmentAir Supply accidentally catches straysThe internet invents “ball maxing” because society is collapsing in real timeHorse fart audio becomes a legitimate discussion topicThe gang debates recess, playground politics, and old-school childhood gamesRafe reveals he was elite at Double Dutch before toxic masculinity stole his dreamsEverybody collectively realizes recess may have been the only thing keeping America functionalThis comedy podcast continues delivering the exact mix of sarcastic humor, pop culture nonsense, emotional overreactions, and St. Louis chaos that somehow keeps this whole thing running. Whether it's celebrity gossip, weird news, childhood trauma, or a grown man yelling “GET YOUR CORN DOG, REBA” into a microphone, The Rizzuto Show remains your trusted source for daily entertainment and complete nonsense.If you love funny podcasts, weird stories, sarcastic humor, celebrity fails, daily comedy, or hearing adults emotionally unravel over fictional characters and carnival food, welcome home.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.City of Markham sues park district executive director over prom photo helicopter landingStudy Shows Littering Declined 34% Across America Since 2020Nonprofits spearhead St. Louis effort to remove trash, tiresWoman Who Went Viral for Unintentionally Rude Email Address Changes Her Last NameSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Country music artist Skylar Finan has been a fan of the genre her entire life. Though she started off as a shy performer, her friends in the scene saw her talent and encouraged her to get on stage. That encouragement eventually led her to create her debut album “Hit the Ground Runnin'” under the name Skylar Townsend. Townsend talks about her love for ‘90s country music stars like Reba McEntire and The Chicks, how the community helped her find her confidence, and how her album's recording began with singing in a water heater closet.
