Homecoming weekend is here, which means family memories, cute pictures and Rizz saying exactly the wrong thing to his wife. This funny podcast begins with Rizz's daughter trying on homecoming dresses and Dad successfully navigating the fashion show — right up until his wife suggests she could wear one of the dresses to a wedding and Rizz responds, “There's no way you're fitting in that.” Congratulations, sir. You found the wrong answer with breathtaking efficiency.Meanwhile, Lern conducts a marriage experiment by replacing her usual bedtime uniform of oversized vintage T-shirts and basketball shorts with actual cute pajamas. Tim notices immediately. This somehow launches the crew into an extremely important investigation involving sexy pajamas, going commando, boxer briefs, underwear shelf life and Rizz admitting he may have underwear old enough to have its own driver's license. Somewhere along the way, “gangrenous ween” enters the conversation, because apparently we abandoned professionalism before sunrise.Then it's time for some hometown pride! Unfortunately, St. Louis Lambert International Airport ranks 22nd out of 24 large airports in the satisfaction study discussed on the show. Nothing says STL like looking at 22nd place and saying, “Hey, at least we beat two.” The crew also talks summer vacations, tourist destinations with reputations for rudeness and why Rizz has officially become Midwestern enough to forget how to merge into New York City pedestrian traffic.The show also digs into why the internet feels considerably more miserable these days, from rage bait and negative comments to algorithms that figured out making everybody angry is fantastic for engagement. The proposed solution? Put the phone down, go outside and interact with actual humans. Terrifying concept, we know.Thankfully, this funny podcast eventually discovers something the internet hasn't ruined yet: miniature horses. A study discussed on the show found that spending just a few minutes petting or scratching miniature horses or donkeys can help improve mood and reduce feelings like anxiety, sadness and loneliness. Lern immediately recommends RR Ranch in Wildwood, while everybody becomes emotionally invested in tiny animals with names like Randy, Olivia, Mary and Memphis.So apparently the path to happiness is deleting rage bait, replacing your decade-old underwear and petting Randy the miniature horse. Medical schools hate us.It's homecoming chaos, relationship mistakes, St. Louis suffering, internet misery and miniature equine salvation in another completely necessary funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show.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.

Apparently cuffing season is official enough for the dictionary now, so congratulations to everyone looking for a temporary winter relationship with an expiration date conveniently located before Valentine's Day.This comedy podcast kicks off with Danny DeVito attempting to understand Gen Z slang before the crew tests its own knowledge of new dictionary additions like looksmaxxing, parasocial relationships, uncanny valley, vibe coding and cuffing season. Moon sees cuffing season as a gigantic relationship red flag. Lern sees soup, Game of Thrones and somebody to make out with until spring. Rizz hears “three months of getting laid” and suddenly understands the youth.Then Crap on Celebrities brings plenty of entertainment chaos. The crew gets into the MTV VMAs lineup, discovers just how massive BLACKPINK's Lisa actually is, hears Keith Richards covering “Bright Lights, Big City” for the Grand Theft Auto 6 soundtrack, and talks about Ice Nine Kills helping bring horror classics back to theaters. Somehow this comedy podcast also turns into an American Psycho discussion before wandering directly into an argument over country covers.Chris Stapleton versus the original “Tennessee Whiskey.” Darius Rucker versus Old Crow Medicine Show. Reba's “Fancy.” Johnny Cash covering Nine Inch Nails. Kenny Rogers taking over “The Gambler.” And then “Life Is a Highway,” where the crew reaches the beautiful bipartisan conclusion that maybe neither version needed to exist.Rizz also gets assigned some essential country music homework after admitting there are classics he somehow missed, which means the crew now has another opportunity to aggressively educate a grown man through peer pressure.And finally, there's Lern's punishment for losing the Pick 'Em challenge: recording an actual love song for Rizz and preparing to stare directly into his eyes while he listens to it. He's got butterflies. She's ready to serenade him. Everyone else gets to enjoy the discomfort.Cuffing, country music, celebrity news and unwanted workplace romance — another perfectly normal comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show.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.

It's National Cheeseburger Day AND First Love Day, so naturally this funny podcast starts with burgers before everybody digs up the childhood crushes that emotionally damaged them forever. Rizz remembers Michelle brutally checking “NO” on his do-you-like-me note, Moon recalls inviting his crush to a roller-skating birthday party and then basically ignoring her, and Rafe takes us on a deeply nostalgic journey through trampoline crushes, teenage romance and the Buick Skylark where things got considerably more serious.All that romance sets the mood perfectly for Lern's Pick 'Em punishment: singing a love song to Rizz. Except Lern doesn't just sing something — she records an entire original power ballad called “Our Sweet Rizz,” complete with saxophone, hairy-arm references, ravioli breath and enough direct eye contact to make everyone uncomfortable. Somehow, it's legitimately catchy. Epic Records should be calling any minute now.Then Rafe's E-Memorium takes this funny podcast completely off the rails with the viral Hyrox bathroom disaster, before introducing everyone to the actual Silence of the Lambs house in Pennsylvania — which you can rent. Yes, Buffalo Bill's house is an Airbnb-style attraction complete with themed rooms, the basement well, costumes, a Hannibal Lecter mannequin and even Valentine's Day packages. Nothing says romance like complimentary lotion and wondering whether you'll ever check out.Rafe also takes aim at an extremely identifiable getaway vehicle, discovers that Reacher star Alan Ritchson can apparently sing in addition to being tall, shredded and handsome, and revisits the emotional moment he walked into Rick's Ace Hardware looking for lawn equipment and walked out with a new father figure.First crushes, love songs, murder houses, hardware dads and enough childhood emotional baggage to fill a Buick Skylark — another perfectly healthy funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show.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.

It's hot in St. Louis. Like, “everybody in the neighborhood has given up on shirts” hot. Lern's porch has gone tarps off, Rizz is worried his shirtless yard work would lower property values, and somehow that leads to the crew comparing how often they pee in their own backyards. Rafe even demonstrates for his dog when necessary. Fatherhood is beautiful.This daily comedy also asks how many different homes everyone has lived in, uncovering everything from Rafe's Craigslist roommate from Barbados to Moon temporarily living in a GMC Jimmy. Then Rafe's attempt to buy a new TV turns into a conspiracy theory that Best Buy may just be ordering everything from Amazon anyway. “In stock” apparently means whatever we want it to mean now.Things get genuinely incredible with a St. Louis story about two-year-old conjoined twin sisters from Ethiopia who were successfully separated during a 25-hour surgery at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon. A team of doctors, nurses and specialists spent a year preparing for the procedure, allowing the sisters — who had never been able to look directly at each other — to finally see, hold and snuggle one another face-to-face.The crew also says goodbye to a St. Louis institution as O'Connell's Pub announces plans to close after more than 60 years, before former bartenders Lern and Rafe debate the worst day of the week to work behind the bar. Spoiler: Sunday customers apparently arrive carrying the Sunday Scaries and make them everybody else's problem.Finally, this daily comedy discovers “wellness darties,” the new college trend replacing some traditional daytime partying with Pilates, yoga, running, ice baths, matcha and protein shakes. Lern loves it. Moon has discovered the magic of steam rooms. Rizz is horrified and would apparently prefer college students honor tradition by making terrible decisions while their bodies are still young enough to recover.College kids doing yoga instead of keg stands? Backyard urinals connected to gutters? Shirtless suburban dads protecting property values? It's another perfectly normal daily comedy from The Rizzuto Show.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.

Apparently retirement is optional when you're a rock star. This comedy podcast kicks off with the crew looking at aging music legends who refuse to leave the stage, from Paul McCartney and Rod Stewart to Lionel Richie, Iron Maiden, Metallica and the Rolling Stones. Some have battled serious health problems, but they keep touring anyway — because as George Burns once told Lionel Richie: stay booked.Then we revisit the Hyrox athlete who suffered a catastrophic mid-race bathroom emergency and still powered through to victory. Unfortunately for Hyrox, the viral incident has turned into a massive PR headache, with criticism over officials allowing her to continue competing and concerns about what the fallout could mean for the rapidly growing fitness brand. Turns out “never quit” occasionally needs an asterisk.Crap on Celebrities brings even more chaos to this comedy podcast, including the Back to the Beginning Ozzy and Black Sabbath concert film heading to theaters, Metallica adding more stadium shows, Madonna returning to the VMAs, and Taylor Swift expanding her music-video empire. Plus, Travis Kelce gets caught up as a victim in a multimillion-dollar investment fraud scheme.Rizz also receives devastating personal news: Judge Judy is retiring from appearing in front of the camera after three decades. Thankfully, learning she's reportedly worth around $440 million helps everyone through this difficult time. The crew also gets into Netflix being criticized for glamorizing real-life killers, whether audiences have turned serial killers into entertainment franchises, and Megan Fox entering the celebrity soap game.Aging rock legends, viral race disasters, celebrity scandals, true-crime arguments and Rizz mourning his television soulmate — just another perfectly functional comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show.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.

The official Rizz Show Eagle Call is going out as the crew rallies Team JB for the Zero Prostate Cancer Run/Walk in memory of their buddy Jeff. Then it's time to give away concert tickets with Just the Two of Us — a game that sounds incredibly easy until Rizz, Moon, Lern and Rafe are asked to think like another human being.This funny show starts strong with Rizz and Moon matching Colgate before immediately disagreeing over what you put ketchup on, famous wizards, Rocky movies and what people keep in their nightstands. Apparently “fries” versus “hamburger” is enough to destroy a friendship.Things improve when Rafe and Lern try to match on beer, morning routines, fictional bears, pizza chains and John Candy movies. Yogi Bear and Domino's save the day, but Bud Light versus Budweiser nearly causes an on-air corporate emergency.Then Lern and Moon deliver the beautiful disaster Patient Zero has been waiting for. Secret versus Right Guard. Glazed versus Long John. Dracula versus Edward. Sugar versus a lawnmower. And finally, nachos versus mozzarella sticks. ZERO matches means Patient Zero Shannon wins — proving sometimes the smartest strategy is simply betting on the show being terrible at its own game.This funny show keeps rolling through famous cowboys, frozen pizzas, ghosts and '80s action movies before one final contestant puts his faith in Rizz and Moon. Levi's and restaurant service get them started, but a fictional-teacher disagreement and furnace-versus-water-heater nearly ruin everything. It all comes down to Chevy Chase, where both land on Vacation and finally send Kevin home a winner.Concert tickets, birthday wishes, Patient Zero glory and grown adults discovering they apparently know nothing about each other — another perfectly coordinated funny show from The Rizzuto Show.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.

The heat has officially broken everybody. This comedy podcast kicks off with St. Louis going tarps off as the crew debates shirtless yard work, peeing in the backyard and Rafe teaching his dog how it's done by providing a live demonstration. Moon even introduces us to the dream home amenity nobody knew they needed: an outdoor urinal connected to the gutter. Property values are doing great.Then we find out retirement apparently doesn't exist for rock stars. The crew gets into legendary musicians still touring well into their 70s and 80s, including Paul McCartney, Rod Stewart, Lionel Richie and more. That somehow leads us to the Hyrox athlete whose mid-race bathroom catastrophe went viral — and the massive PR mess surrounding the event afterward. This comedy podcast also hits celebrity chaos involving Ozzy and Black Sabbath, Metallica, Madonna, Taylor Swift and plenty more.Back in St. Louis, the show gets genuinely uplifting with the incredible story of conjoined twin sisters successfully separated during a marathon surgery at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon. The crew also says goodbye to O'Connell's Pub after more than 60 years and discovers that college students are apparently swapping some traditional daytime partying for “wellness darties” involving Pilates, yoga, matcha, running and ice baths. College has changed, and Rizz would like to file a complaint.Finally, Just the Two of Us puts the crew's ability to think alike to the test for concert tickets. Toothpaste, ketchup, fictional bears, John Candy movies, vampires and restaurant appetizers become shockingly difficult questions — until Lern and Moon manage ZERO matches and hand Patient Zero Shannon the win she's been waiting for.Tarps off, rock legends, viral disasters, St. Louis stories and adults nearly destroying friendships over whether the obvious fictional bear is Yogi or Winnie the Pooh.

Melissa donated $5,000 to Ronald McDonald House Charities of St. Louis during Donny Fandango's Radiothon earlier this year and decided to spend her 40th birthday with The Rizzuto Show. An incredibly generous decision followed by several questionable ones.In this funny podcast, Melissa officially joins the crew for a morning packed with helicopter horror stories, a massive Powerball winner in Quincy, Rafe finding a new father figure at the hardware store, Halloween decorations getting weird, and Melissa revealing that she casually drives around with a Santa skeleton named Bobert in her back seat.Then we put the birthday girl to work. Melissa gets her first live commercial read for The Iron Grip — an extremely fake and extremely inappropriate adult novelty store — before the show dives headfirst into the legendary Richard Gere gerbil rumor and the journalist who spent SIX YEARS investigating how one of Hollywood's greatest urban legends spread before social media even existed. This funny podcast also tackles Bruce Campbell, celebrity gossip, Cindy Crawford hypotheticals and the important question of whether ten years with her would be worth becoming “Gerbil Boy” for life.Finally, Melissa teams up with Rafe for Do It Bitch, where breakfast foods, ocean-bordering states, soda brands and musical instruments suddenly become impossible when you only have ten seconds to think. Geography betrays Melissa, Lern goes on a heater, and the birthday celebration ends exactly how every $5,000 charitable donation should: with Melissa getting shot in the butt with an airsoft gun.One 40th birthday and absolutely no dignity left behind. It's another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show — and Melissa definitely got the full experience.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.Helicopter providing coverage for NBCLA, Telemundo 52 crashes in Los AngelesIllinois winner of $1.04B Powerball lottery jackpot sold in Quincy claims prizeJabberin' Jack pumpkin toy sings racy Halloween song about his "seeds," alarming parentsNew Record of 26000 Items Dropped in Yellowstone GeysersMeta plans camera-free smart glasses for fall launch, The Information reportsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Melissa is celebrating her 40th birthday with The Rizzuto Show, Rafe is preparing to claim an entire weekend for HIS birthday, and somewhere in St. Charles, a taco restaurant has fallen.We begin this comedy show with birthday business.Rafe's birthday is September 30th, but a Wednesday birthday simply isn't good enough for a man who understands branding. So he's claiming the following weekend and bringing four shows to the St. Charles Funny Bone, complete with guest comics, surprise appearances and improvised stand-up based on audience suggestions.Melissa even gets recruited to promote the shows. Her sales pitch? Rafe is hilarious, you'll laugh until you cry, and his opening comics are great, too. Rafe then requests a special birthday greeting in Melissa's signature delivery.Tickets sold... Probably.Talking about the Funny Bone naturally leads to the dining options around St. Charles, where the crew discovers the former Mission Taco/Session Taco location has apparently closed.RIP tacos. The mean streets of St. Charles remain undefeated.Fortunately, there are still plenty of options for anybody planning dinner before Rafe's show, including the possibility of absolutely destroying yourself at a Brazilian steakhouse before waddling into the comedy club carrying enough meat to hibernate through winter.Rizz knows the danger. The card stays green. The meat keeps coming.Eventually, your body starts sending emergency alerts.Rafe suggests a simple plan: MEAT up, then MEET up. Comedy AND wordplay.We're earning our FCC license today.But enough birthday promotion. It's time for the main event:Do It Bitch.Team Rafe and Melissa takes on Team Lern and Moon in a best-of-five battle where gamblers bid on how many items their partners can name from a category in ten seconds.If you think the other team has bid too high?Do it, bitch. Simple.Except nothing becomes simple once a microphone and ten-second timer are involved.The first category is standard breakfast foods.Melissa starts conservatively, but the bidding quickly climbs until Moon says Lern can name seven.Challenge accepted.Lern steps up and immediately rattles off eggs, bacon, fruit, pancakes, French toast, omelets, sausage and oatmeal. Done.She even throws in an extra answer for good measure.Team Lern and Moon takes the early lead, and Melissa gets her first lesson in competitive morning radio: Confidence is wonderful until somebody turns on the clock.Then comes geography. Oh no.The category is U.S. states that touch an ocean, with Gulf states also accepted.Lern knows Moon is well traveled and confidently opens at seven. Rafe knows Melissa specifically warned him before the game that geography might not be her strongest category. Unfortunately, gambling requires courage.The bid reaches eight. Lern calls it. Melissa is up.New York. New Jersey. Pennsylvania. Maine. Michigan. And then everything falls apart. Pennsylvania isn't helping. Michigan is busy hanging out with the Great Lakes. And suddenly the Pacific Coast may as well be located on another planet.Melissa discovers the brutal truth of this comedy show: knowing something while sitting comfortably at home and knowing something while Rizz stares at you with ten seconds on the clock are two completely different forms of intelligence.Round three brings soft drinks. Surely this will be easier.The bidding climbs all the way to nine brands, and Lern gets another opportunity to put the game away.Pepsi. Coca-Cola. Dr Pepper. Mountain Dew. 7UP. Sprite. Mr. Pibb. A&W Root Beer. And then… “Mother EFF!” TIME.She nearly gets there, but her insistence on saying “we have” between practically every answer burns precious seconds.Suddenly Rafe and Melissa are still alive. Barely. Meanwhile, another mystery has developed inside the studio. There is something weird on the door. It's wet. It's greasy. Nobody knows exactly what it is. People keep touching it despite repeatedly discussing how disgusting it feels.Eventually, the working theory becomes that somebody used the wrong cleaning product on the door plates while preparing for the boss to visit. This does not stop the show from giving the substance a significantly worse nickname. Professional broadcasting.Round four arrives. The category: Musical instruments. This should be perfect for Moon. Lern immediately says he can name nine. Rafe knows she's probably right. So when the bidding reaches ten for Melissa, there's nowhere left to run. Do it.Melissa needs ten instruments in ten seconds to keep her team alive. She steps to the microphone.Bass. Drums. Violin. Harp. And then the human brain simply closes for business. Panic. Silence. The birthday girl is toast.Team Lern and Moon wins, with Rafe giving Lern full credit for playing a ridiculously strong game. Unfortunately, this is Do It Bitch. Winning isn't merely about pride. The losers get shot with an airsoft gun. And because Melissa wanted the COMPLETE Rizz Show birthday experience, she's apparently willing to take her punishment.Moon is considerably less enthusiastic about shooting a guest. Rizz insists. Moon refuses. An ethical debate erupts over who should administer the punishment, complete with arguments about executioners, judges, feminism and whether refusing to shoot the birthday girl actually represents equality. Totally normal workplace discussion. Eventually Lern steps in to handle it. Melissa gets into position.Three… Two… One… SHOT. And her reaction? Basically nothing.After all that buildup, Melissa says it didn't really hurt. She's had Nerf darts hurt worse.The crew is stunned because everybody else acts like getting hit with this thing is equivalent to being struck by artillery.Melissa casually explains that she's probably going to bruise but otherwise seems completely unbothered.Rafe's medical diagnosis? Maybe she has an ass-circulation problem. Excellent.So what have we learned? Rafe is commandeering an entire weekend for his birthday. Brazilian steakhouses should come with recovery rooms. Lern is terrifyingly good at breakfast. Melissa should avoid geography categories. Saying “we have” nine times is a terrible speed-game strategy. Four musical instruments can suddenly feel like the complete history of music. Never touch unidentified substances on studio doors. And if you donate thousands of dollars to charity and spend your birthday with The Rizzuto Show, we might celebrate your generosity by shooting you in the butt.This comedy show is nothing if not hospitable. Happy birthday, Melissa. Happy early birthday, Rafe. And rest in peace, St. Charles tacos.

Melissa donated $5,000 to Ronald McDonald House Charities of St. Louis through Donny Fandango's Radiothon, chose to spend her 40th birthday hanging out with The Rizzuto Show, and was immediately rewarded with the prestigious broadcasting opportunity every aspiring radio personality dreams about:Reading an endorsement for a fake adult novelty store called The Iron Grip.Welcome to radio, Melissa.Today's funny podcast wastes absolutely no time making our birthday guest regret her generosity. Melissa joins the on-air family, gets drafted onto Rafe's team for Do It Bitch, and is handed what appears to be a legitimate live commercial for a brand-new sponsor in Edwardsville.Except The Iron Grip apparently specializes exclusively in adult products shaped like fists.Big ones. Small ones. Glow-in-the-dark ones.There's a “Heavyweight Champion,” a “Double-Ended Sparring Partner” and, naturally, the Southpaw Special Starter Kit.Melissa powers through the commercial like a professional while everybody else completely loses it, only for Rizz to announce some devastating breaking news immediately afterward:The client canceled.One read and they're gone.Advertising is a brutal business.From there, the show gets considerably more serious as Rafe and Rizz discuss Evil Dead legend Bruce Campbell and his candid comments about his cancer diagnosis.Campbell says doctors have given him a five-year prognosis, but his attitude toward it is about as Bruce Campbell as you'd expect. He plans to keep working, keep pursuing the projects he loves and deal with his health problems as they arrive instead of allowing the diagnosis to define whatever time comes next.The crew talks about his career, his incredible deadpan comedy, the evolution of Evil Dead from horror into campy horror-comedy and why Campbell deserves even more credit for turning Ash into such an iconic character.It's thoughtful.It's sincere.It's genuinely moving.So obviously we immediately follow it with Richard Gere and a gerbil.Welcome back.Rizz introduces what may be one of the greatest pieces of investigative journalism ever attempted: a reporter apparently spent SIX YEARS investigating the origins of the infamous Richard Gere gerbil urban legend.Six years.Not Watergate.Not organized crime.Gerbilgate.The rumor predates social media, Reddit and basically every modern mechanism capable of turning nonsense into accepted historical fact within eleven minutes. Yet somehow the story spread across America and became so famous that people who had never met one another were all hearing slightly different versions of the exact same ridiculous tale.According to the investigation discussed on the show, one major accelerant was a fraudulent press release supposedly from an animal-rights organization that was faxed to newsrooms and Hollywood agencies around Los Angeles.Remember fax machines?Apparently misinformation had to work much harder back then.The legend mutated as it traveled. Different versions involved different hospitals, different objects and increasingly elaborate details, while alleged secret X-rays and other “evidence” became part of the mythology.The crew starts wondering why everyone believed it.Was it because Richard Gere was handsome, famous and married to Cindy Crawford, so society collectively decided the universe needed to humble him?Rafe has a theory.If one man gets to spend years married to prime Cindy Crawford, maybe everybody else needs to believe that guy has at least ONE extremely bizarre flaw.Thus, the scales of justice demand a gerbil.Which leads to the important hypothetical question nobody had ever requested:Would you accept ten years with Cindy Crawford if everyone believed the Richard Gere rumor was about YOU?Rafe is in.Rizz is negotiating the terms.Moon doesn't care about rumors.Lern is apparently serving as legal counsel.This funny podcast has officially become a contract negotiation nobody should ever put in writing.The conversation then spirals beautifully into Richard Gere attempting to visit a hypothetical pet store, South Park's Lemmiwinks, Cindy Crawford's Illinois roots, Gere's feud with Sylvester Stallone during The Lords of Flatbush, and the glorious collection of celebrity urban legends that existed before anybody could simply Google whether they were complete garbage.Marilyn Manson's rib.Gene Simmons' tongue.Rod Stewart.Bon Jovi.Jamie Lee Curtis.And because every generation apparently deserves its own completely ridiculous celebrity rumor, Rizz nominates Machine Gun Kelly for future service.Congratulations, MGK.You weren't consulted.Then Lern brings us Crap on Celebrities, where things get slightly less gerbil-intensive but no less chaotic.The crew discusses the controversy surrounding Macklemore being removed from Ed Sheeran's tour after his pro-Palestinian comments, followed by multiple opening acts withdrawing in solidarity. Ed Sheeran says the decision wasn't his and that promoters and venue operators ultimately made the call after venues threatened not to host dates.Rafe checks the imaginary breaking-news wire and reports that Ed Sheeran has now quit his own tour.He walked out on himself.Solidarity has reached its final form.There's also speculation about Justin Bieber and Harry Styles as potential future Super Bowl halftime performers, although neither had actually been approached according to the story being discussed.Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have reportedly installed automated security warnings around their massive Ohio property, giving Rizz yet another piece of technology he desperately wants at his own house.Get too close?BACK UP.Honestly, Rizz might install one inside the studio.Kelly Osbourne opens up about one of her final conversations with Ozzy and the estrangement between Kelly and her older sister Aimee, leading the crew to remember how remarkable it was that one member of the Osbourne family managed to stay largely outside the reality-TV circus while practically everyone around her became massively famous.Moon declares that decision extremely metal.Correct.Robert De Niro is reportedly in talks to play legendary Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda in a biopic, which immediately creates a new Hollywood controversy nobody saw coming:Why is Robert De Niro stealing jobs from fat guys?Finally, justice.Lern also discovers several pieces of music history that everyone apparently deleted from their brains, including Paul Rodgers performing with Queen and Ozzy Osbourne scoring a Top 10 hit decades after “Close My Eyes Forever” thanks to his collaboration with Post Malone and Travis Scott on “Take What You Want.”Moon's conclusion?None of this happened.Lern is inserting facts from an alternate reality.And frankly, after spending this much time discussing Richard Gere, we're no longer qualified to determine what is real.Then it's finally time to celebrate Melissa turning 40.She shares her birthday with Amy Poehler, Nick Jonas, Alexis Bledel, Marc Anthony, Jennifer Tilly, Richard Marx, David Copperfield and several others.But Melissa isn't finished earning her $5,000 donation.After already surviving The Iron Grip commercial, the birthday girl is handed one more prestigious broadcasting assignment:Reading the Porno Birthday.She handles that one like a champion, too.Melissa came to The Rizzuto Show for her 40th birthday and got fake commercials, celebrity gossip, gerbil journalism and an extremely questionable birthday-reading assignment.And she STILL has to play Do It Bitch with the crew.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.

It's Hump Day, Melissa's birthday, and somehow a perfectly innocent celebration turns into helicopters, billion-dollar lottery tickets, homoerotic contractor pranks, seductive Halloween pumpkins, Yellowstone garbage and grown men discovering emotions inside a hardware store.So, basically, Wednesday.Today's daily comedy starts with a very special guest joining The Rizzuto Show. Melissa donated $5,000 directly to Ronald McDonald House Charities of St. Louis through Donny Fandango's Radiothon, and her reward — or punishment, depending on how you view this program — is spending her birthday sitting in with Rizz, Lern, Moon, Rafe and Devon.She's officially part of the show for the morning, which means she also gets the complete Rizz Show experience: jelly bean threats, potential internet trolls and absolutely no guarantee that the conversation will remain normal for more than 45 seconds.Happy birthday, Melissa. You paid for this.Rizz kicks things off by offering a choice between good luck and bad luck.Naturally, everyone chooses bad luck.And BAD luck arrives immediately.The crew talks about their experiences flying in helicopters, including Lern's Blackhawk ride, Moon sitting in the co-pilot seat during a Grand Canyon helicopter tour as a kid, Rafe rappelling from military helicopters and Rizz taking a helicopter tour around St. Louis.Cool experiences.Then Rizz brings up a horrifying helicopter crash story involving a news chopper that went down in California while heading to cover another deadly crash.The helicopter reportedly crashed into a commercial lot, killing the reporter, pilot and a person on the ground.Which leads to one of those deeply uncomfortable Rizz Show questions nobody expects to answer before breakfast:What song would you want playing in your headphones if a helicopter was falling directly toward you?“Free Bird.”“Stairway to Heaven.”“For Whom the Bell Tolls.”“Fly Like an Eagle.”Morbid? Absolutely.But if fate is going full Final Destination, apparently this crew wants a decent soundtrack.Fortunately, the bad-luck story gets followed by some VERY good luck.Remember that massive Powerball ticket sold in Quincy, Illinois?The winner has officially stepped forward.He reportedly bought ONE $2 Quick Pick ticket and won a jackpot worth more than $1 billion before ultimately choosing the roughly $450.5 million lump-sum option before taxes.Not a bad return on two bucks.The anonymous winner instantly gives the show another opportunity to revisit its complicated relationship with Quincy, including the infamous horse stories that the city would probably appreciate us forgetting sometime before 2050.Moon even admits he once encountered a guy wearing a Quincy shirt on a cruise and felt morally obligated to explain exactly what that shirt might mean to certain Rizz Show listeners.Public service.You're welcome, Quincy.The crew debates whether lottery winners should remain anonymous, whether you take the lump sum or annuity and what happens when hundreds of millions of dollars suddenly land in your account.Rafe's answer basically involves buying an island.Everyone else is trying to calculate investments.And somewhere in Quincy, one extremely rich person is hopefully shopping for a Lamborghini while desperately avoiding everyone he has ever met.Then the conversation somehow becomes homeownership.Rafe has had contractors working around his house and discovers somebody left him a very special Easter egg in the basement: two extremely adult playing cards strategically displayed near a papasan chair.Meaning every contractor walking downstairs may have assumed Rafe had constructed the saddest private viewing lounge in St. Louis.Nobody knows who did it.Rafe has a suspect.The prankster remains at large.Homeownership also means Rafe needs tools, lawn equipment and all the other accessories required to slowly transform a comedian into Hank Hill.That brings us to the true love story of today's daily comedy:Rafe and Rick's Ace Hardware.Rafe went shopping and apparently experienced customer service so wonderful that he nearly had an emotional breakthrough between the lawnmowers and leaf blowers.The store was clean.The employees were helpful.Nobody ran away from him.Nobody pressured him into seventeen memberships.A guy actually knew where things were.It was everything Rafe never knew he needed.Within minutes, the crew has turned this helpful hardware employee into Rafe's long-lost father, complete with imaginary forehead kisses, parking-lot tears and profound disappointment when Dad discovers Rafe drives a Toyota Tacoma instead of a Ford or Chevy.Rick was tender.Rafe may never recover.From hardware we naturally move into Halloween because the decorations are already taking over stores and Lern is considering going big this year.Possibly 15-foot-skeleton big.She also wants floating witch hats and purple lighting inspired by Salem, while Rafe is preparing to unleash his collection of Halloween inflatables now that he finally has enough room.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.

Somehow the phrase “Big Beaver” isn't even the weirdest thing you're about to hear...Rizz recently made his first trip to Buc-ee's and came away impressed by the size, the amount of stuff and… well, that's about it. But the beaver empire definitely gets more enthusiastic when somebody messes with its logo.The crew discusses Buc-ee's legal battle with an apparel company accused of using its famous beaver on military-style merchandise, resulting in an $850,000 settlement according to the story discussed on the show. That leads straight into John Oliver trolling “Big Beaver” with parody merchandise, Lern buying the socks, and a debate over the difference between legitimately protecting your trademark and unleashing corporate lawyers on every tiny beaver within driving distance.That would already be plenty for a normal comedy podcast. Unfortunately, nobody here has ever been interested in normal.Next comes the Rizz Quiz, where six callers are given extremely difficult questions such as “What ocean borders California?” and “What color is on the bottom of a traffic light?”The results are devastating.California gets relocated to the Atlantic Ocean.The Great Red Spot moves to Mars.One father celebrates his son's 11th birthday by revealing he thinks a millennium is 100 years.And during a playoff, Justin is asked what COUNTRY is directly north of Mexico.His answer?Alaska.Not the United States.Alaska.The crew is forced to explain that this is no longer merely a geography problem.Mark eventually survives the educational apocalypse and wins the contest, while an Empire State Building tiebreaker gives the people in the studio their own opportunity to demonstrate that estimating the size of famous buildings is apparently impossible.From there, we move into accommodations.Lern was supposed to stay at a Dolly Parton-themed hotel while traveling for the Foo Fighters, but shortly before the trip she learned the hotel still wasn't ready. The staff offered to help with alternate accommodations — because that's the Dolly way — and Lern eventually landed in an Airbnb.Which leads directly to one of the most romantic vacation ideas ever discussed on the show:Buffalo Bill's house from The Silence of the Lambs.Yes, you can stay there.The crew discusses the house in Perryopolis, Pennsylvania, a town name that immediately gets roasted before anyone can even focus on the serial-killer-themed vacation rental.The house goes ALL IN.There's a recreated basement well for pictures, horror memorabilia, hundreds of horror movies, an arcade, a pool table and a motion-activated disco ball that plays “Goodbye Horses.”Apparently people have even proposed inside the well.Nothing says lifelong commitment like asking someone to marry you while recreating one of the most disturbing basements in movie history.And somehow several members of the show are completely willing to sleep there.Devon may already be in the well.Then the crew heads to karaoke, where the crew runs through songs you should probably never attempt unless humiliation is specifically why you left the house.“I Will Always Love You.”“Bohemian Rhapsody.”“Dream On.”“Take On Me.”“Chandelier.”“Somebody to Love.”“Chop Suey!”Lern and Rafe argue that bad karaoke is actually better because nobody wants to spend their night watching aspiring Broadway performers flawlessly execute songs like they're trying to get discovered between Jägerbombs.Rizz treats karaoke like The Voice.Moon has standards.And the show discovers Alan Ritchson can sing, because apparently being Jack Reacher wasn't enough and this man needed additional talents just to make the rest of us feel worse.Then Crap on Celebrities takes the wheel with Benny Blanco relationship talk, Ella Langley, Kacey Musgraves, Stevie Nicks, Black Sabbath, Metallica and the revelation that Oprah is heading to the Sphere.Initially, the room has questions.Many questions.Then Moon learns Jacob Collier is involved and suddenly transforms into Oprah's newest ticket salesman.The episode also detours through movie songs, Dirty Dancing, Titanic, Frozen, Fievel and the eternal question of whether certain movie themes are masterpieces or crimes against speakers.And then the crew walks into the room carrying a pharmacy.Rafe arrives surrounded by cold and allergy remedies because he feels something coming on and absolutely refuses to get sick. Rizz recommends chicken soup — “Jewish penicillin” — while the crew starts comparing all the exciting new ways their bodies hurt for absolutely no reason.That becomes a discussion of bizarre sleeping positions.Lern sleeps on her stomach with a hand underneath her pelvis.Moon sleeps like a vampire in a coffin.Rafe routinely wakes up with entire arms completely dead and rubs his feet together like Jiminy Cricket.Everyone is doing great.From there we get Mary Kay nostalgia, pink Cadillacs, old-school home sales parties and Rafe remembering an early comedy gig where part of the compensation came in a deeply unconventional swag bag. We'll leave it at that. YouTube a has rules.The comedy podcast then moves into fitness, where the crew discusses the famous 10,000-steps goal and a conversation about walking pace before discovering Hyrox — a standardized fitness competition involving running and workout stations. Sounds healthy. Sounds inspiring. Sounds like a great way to improve yourself.Then the show discusses a Hyrox race in Beijing where a 22-year-old Australian competitor reportedly suffered a severe bowel accident during the competition……and kept going.She won.The crew cannot believe what they're hearing.The controversy becomes less about competitive toughness and more about the fact that Hyrox involves shared workout stations, meaning everybody behind her suddenly had a problem they absolutely did not include in their training program.“A win is a win” becomes the philosophy of the day.Unfortunately, the bathroom content is not finished.The show also discusses an alleged neighbor dispute involving a bucket of human waste, proving once again that some people handle relationship drama with communication while others apparently choose biological warfare.Then air travel joins the nightmare.The crew discusses disruptive airplane passengers, Moon's frustration with constant in-flight entertainment interruptions and pilot announcements, and a flight attendant's warning that some passengers reportedly change baby diapers directly on airplane tray tables.Yes.The tray where your pretzels go.Congratulations. You will now wipe that thing down until the plastic changes color.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.Can't Hit 10,000 Steps?

Rafe might have allergies. Or a cold. Or he might simply be preparing for pharmaceutical Armageddon.Either way, he arrives with enough medication spread across the desk to make the studio look like a Walgreens with microphones.That's how this episode begins, and somehow things get significantly less sanitary from there.Rafe is determined not to get sick, so he's armed with cold remedies, allergy treatments, mystery medicine from Devon and, naturally, cheese-filled salami wraps. Rizz recommends the traditional cure of chicken soup — AKA “Jewish penicillin” — while everyone tries to determine whether there's actually something magical happening in the broth.This daily podcast then becomes a support group for adults who wake up injured despite accomplishing absolutely nothing.Rizz's hand mysteriously hurts. Lern wakes up with a completely numb hand after falling asleep on the chaise lounge. Rafe routinely loses feeling in entire arms while sleeping. That launches everybody into an extremely detailed comparison of sleeping positions, dead limbs, stomach sleeping, coffin sleeping, restless legs and the bizarre little rituals our bodies apparently demand before allowing us eight hours of unconsciousness.Moon sleeps like a vampire.Lern has an elaborate pelvic-hand configuration.Rafe rubs his feet together like a human cricket.Everybody is doing great.Lern also shares her surprise Mary Kay makeover from a listener, which sends the room down memory lane with pink Cadillacs, parents getting involved with Mary Kay, Tupperware parties and the strange world of home-sales businesses.Naturally, Rafe has a related story.Early in his comedy career, he and another comedian performed at an event and discovered part of their compensation involved a swag bag filled with adult products.Money disappears.Possessions come and go.But apparently a bag of novelty merchandise is forever.From there, Rizz gets into the supposed magic of 10,000 steps a day and explains that the famous number traces back to pedometer marketing rather than some sacred scientific commandment. The crew discusses walking pace, Moon's extremely active 83-year-old mother and the general importance of staying mobile as you get older.Then we meet Hyrox.Imagine running five miles while repeatedly stopping to punish yourself with sled pushes, sled pulls, burpee broad jumps, rowing, kettlebell carries, sandbag lunges and wall balls.Sounds fun!It gets better.The show discusses a 22-year-old competitor who won a Hyrox event despite suffering an absolutely catastrophic bathroom emergency during the race.She kept going.And won.Normally, that would be an inspirational sports story about perseverance.Unfortunately, Hyrox involves shared workout equipment.Now we have a biohazard.The crew debates whether finishing the race was admirable, horrifying or both, especially after learning the incident reportedly happened early enough that the competitor still had multiple shared stations ahead of her.The event ultimately changed its rules for future incidents, but her victory remained intact.A win is a win.Apparently.You might think one poop story is enough for a daily podcast.That would indicate you have never listened to The Rizzuto Show.Welcome to Poopy Tuesday.The next story involves an alleged affair, neighboring units in a Miami-area mobile home park and a woman accused of preparing an entire bucket of human waste specifically to throw in her neighbor's face.That sentence somehow gets worse when the crew learns she reportedly told someone beforehand what she was planning.Nothing says “healthy conflict resolution” quite like collecting ammunition yourself.Crime news continues with authorities reportedly searching for an older Chevy Tahoe bearing the words “Fat Chicks Only” after a burglary. Witnesses allegedly describe two large bearded men, meaning police received perhaps the most specific and simultaneously useless suspect description imaginable.Then Vegas enters the chat.A man meets two women at a nightclub, drinks with them, hits the hot tub and brings them back to his hotel room. He later wakes up to discover cash missing along with tens of thousands of dollars in allegedly unauthorized transactions.The crew immediately begins investigating the most important unanswered question:Did the poor guy at least have a good night first?We may never know.Things eventually move to air travel, where Rizz recalls sitting near a passenger who suffered a seizure before takeoff and was ultimately removed from the flight because of the medical risk.Then comes another flight story involving a passenger who reportedly got completely naked and began engaging in inappropriate behavior in front of neighboring passengers.The pilots apparently decide they're still going to Miami.Honestly, at that point, everybody deserves the vacation.Moon also unloads on airline entertainment systems that constantly interrupt movies with announcements, lengthy videos and pilots who sound approximately 40 years older over the intercom than they looked while boarding.Then Rizz destroys airplane dining forever.According to a flight attendant story discussed on the show, some passengers have changed babies on tray tables.Yes.Those tray tables.The same tray tables where you put your pretzels.Moon says he wipes down his tray, screen and armrests whenever he flies.Suddenly that no longer sounds obsessive.It sounds like basic survival.And because apparently the gastrointestinal theme had not been explored thoroughly enough, the crew circles back to diarrhea for a discussion about a reported cyclospora outbreak tied to shredded iceberg lettuce being declared over.Lettuce is back, baby.The long national nightmare has ended.Finally, the crew gets into one of St. Louis' favorite shared hobbies: complaining about Lambert.Airport pickup congestion, Uber confusion, departures versus arrivals, construction, terminal access and the increasingly chaotic experience of simply trying to collect another human being from the airport all get their turn.For years, one of St. Louis' greatest airport flexes was convenience.Now?Welcome to Thunderdome. Please locate your Uber somewhere in this general zip code.So yes, this episode has allergies, mysterious body pain, bizarre sleeping positions, Mary Kay, unconventional comedy compensation, fitness trends, competitive bathroom disasters, weaponized feces, Vegas mistakes, naked airline passengers, contaminated tray tables, lettuce recalls and St. Louis airport rage.Exactly what you expect from a daily podcast that begins by recommending chicken soup and somehow ends up making you afraid of gyms, airplanes, mobile homes, lettuce and your own digestive system.Feel better, everybody.And maybe disinfect that tray table.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.

Lern was supposed to stay at a Dolly Parton-themed hotel.That sentence alone sounds magical.Unfortunately, the hotel wasn't finished.After booking the Nashville stay months in advance for a trip surrounding the Foo Fighters, Lern and Tim learned shortly before arriving that their Dolly accommodations still weren't ready for actual human beings. The hotel staff was extremely accommodating — because apparently that's the Dolly way — and offered to help them find somewhere else.Lern eventually landed in an Airbnb.Which is convenient, because this funny show immediately turns into a discussion about Airbnbs that would make most reasonable people sleep in their cars instead.The crew discovers you can stay in the actual Pennsylvania house used as Buffalo Bill's home in The Silence of the Lambs. It's in Perryopolis, a town name that Moon and Rafe immediately decide needs to be investigated for crimes against geography.Perryville?Too normal.Perry Town?Not enough grandeur.Perryopolis?Now we're cooking.And the house itself has gone completely all-in.The basement scenes involving Buffalo Bill's infamous well weren't originally filmed there, so naturally the current owner had a replica constructed inside the house. Guests can climb into it, take pictures and apparently even propose marriage from inside the pit, because nothing says “spend forever with me” like recreating a serial killer's basement.There's also a motion-activated disco ball that plays “Goodbye Horses.”Worth the trip.Throw in themed packages, horror memorabilia, an arcade, a pool table and hundreds of horror movies on DVD and VHS, and suddenly the crew is seriously considering a group vacation to Perryopolis.Lern is absolutely sleeping there.Devon apparently wants the well.Everybody seems surprisingly comfortable with this.From haunted vacation rentals, the conversation makes the completely natural transition into karaoke — specifically, songs you should absolutely NOT attempt unless your goal is public humiliation.The crew runs through a ranking of brutally difficult karaoke choices, including “I Will Always Love You,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Dream On,” “Take On Me,” “Chandelier,” “Somebody to Love,” “Emotions,” “Barracuda,” “We Didn't Start the Fire,” “Informer,” “Purple Rain,” “Chop Suey!” and several other songs requiring vocal abilities that Chad from accounting simply does not possess.Lern and Rafe argue that terrible karaoke is actually the point.Nobody wants to watch twelve consecutive musical-theater kids nail obscure Broadway songs like they're auditioning for a touring production.We want danger.We want confidence unsupported by talent.We want somebody three drinks deep suddenly deciding they can sing System of a Down.That is entertainment.Rizz, meanwhile, treats karaoke like The Voice, mentally turning his chair whenever somebody actually pulls off the impossible.And yes, the crew demonstrates some of these songs themselves.You're welcome.The conversation also uncovers another deeply unfair fact about Alan Ritchson: apparently Jack Reacher can sing, too.Being enormous and handsome was already plenty, sir.Leave something for everybody else.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, and the funny show dives directly into entertainment chaos.Benny Blanco's relationship advice basically comes down to understanding your partner, communicating and not being a jerk — an apparently revolutionary romantic strategy.The crew talks Ella Langley's massive chart success, Kacey Musgraves, Stevie Nicks opening up about her history with cocaine and Klonopin, Tony Iommi reportedly passing on another Black Sabbath album and Moon explaining why producer Andrew Watt's willingness to throw endless ideas around can be such an asset in the studio.John Carpenter's admiration for Metallica also sparks speculation about how his visual style could fit with a giant immersive production.Which brings us to the Sphere.Who's next?Metallica?Oasis?Coldplay?Nope.Oprah.The show discusses Oprah Winfrey bringing an immersive production to the Las Vegas Sphere, and initially nobody can figure out what that is supposed to look like.Giant Oprah?Inspirational quotes covering 160,000 square feet?“You get a Sphere! YOU get a Sphere!”But then Moon discovers musician Jacob Collier is involved and executes one of the fastest opinion reversals in show history.Suddenly, he's in.Completely in.Moon launches into an enthusiastic defense of Collier's musicianship and creativity while everybody else tries to figure out how the conversation went from mocking Oprah at the Sphere to Moon volunteering hundreds of dollars for tickets.That's growth.Or something.Celebrity chaos continues with Stagecoach talk, Florida Georgia Line, the Emmys, Reba's Dolly Parton tribute, Dave Chappelle's announced tour and Martha Stewart apparently considering releasing nude photos.Which, naturally, gives Rafe the opportunity to invite everyone to “Martha's Vineyard.”We apologize.Things briefly get much more serious when the show discusses a reported death possibly involving a counterfeit oxycodone pill containing fentanyl. The crew talks about the danger of counterfeit pills and the importance of Narcan, including the need to call 911 and the possibility that multiple doses may be necessary in an opioid overdose.Then celebrity family drama arrives with a discussion about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's children dropping Pitt from their names, leading to a larger conversation about family relationships, famous last names and the obvious reality that none of us actually knows what happens inside somebody else's home.Finally, the episode becomes an accidental soundtrack debate.What are the greatest songs ever attached to movies?What are the worst?Titanic. Dirty Dancing. Saturday Night Fever. Rocky. Philadelphia. Frozen. Wild Wild West. The Three Musketeers. An American Tail.Moon gets emotionally invested in Fievel.Lern would like everyone to return to Patrick Swayze.Rafe remembers the reign of terror that was Bryan Adams.And somewhere along the way, Pitbull gets accused of reminding everybody that he's Mr. Worldwide in every song like he's legally required to provide identification.So yes, this episode starts with Dolly Parton hospitality, travels to Buffalo Bill's basement, crashes a karaoke bar, discovers Jack Reacher can sing, sends Oprah to the Sphere and ends up debating whether Fievel has been given the musical respect he deserves.Exactly the kind of funny show where nobody knows where the conversation is going — especially the people having it.Welcome to Perryopolis.Please put the lotion in the basket before checkout.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.

Nothing says happy birthday quite like Jeremy Piven telling Rizz he's really, really glad he was born.And nothing destroys that warm birthday feeling faster than immediately discussing aggressive beaver litigation.Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show.Rizz recently made his first pilgrimage to Buc-ee's in Springfield and came away with a glowing review: it was okay. It was fine. It was big.Take that, travel influencers.But while Rizz may not be ready to dedicate his life to the beaver, Buc-ee's is apparently extremely dedicated to protecting it. The crew discusses a legal battle involving apparel company Born United, which the show says used the Buc-ee's beaver logo on military-style merchandise and continued selling it after receiving cease-and-desist letters.The result discussed on the show: an $850,000 settlement involving trademark infringement, unfair competition and false advertising.That launches this comedy podcast into the larger debate over Buc-ee's aggressively defending its brand, especially when smaller businesses are involved.Lern brings up John Oliver's campaign trolling “Big Beaver” with parody merchandise featuring Mr. Nutterbutter and the phrase “Buck Off.” Instead of simply poking the bear — or beaver — the merchandise is raising money for charity, while Buc-ee's apparently refuses to take the lawsuit bait.Lern and Tim even bought the socks.Naturally.The crew debates where legitimate trademark protection ends and corporate bullying begins. Lern compares it to protecting station branding when somebody blatantly rips off a logo versus going nuclear on some random tiny business that happens to use something vaguely similar.Basically: protect your beaver responsibly.Then it's time to give away concert tickets.And any remaining faith in the American education system.Welcome to the Rizz Quiz.Six callers get 45 seconds of rapid-fire trivia. No skips. One wrong answer ends the run. Highest score wins their choice of concert tickets.These are not impossible questions.That becomes important.Curtis starts the festivities by correctly identifying the colors of a yield sign before saying the main ingredient in butter is oil.Score: one.Rizz then accidentally hangs up on him.Honestly, mercy killing.Brian looks like an early trivia powerhouse when he correctly identifies Garfield as orange, Madrid as the capital of Spain and six as half a dozen.Then he says the planet with the Great Red Spot is Mars.Jupiter would like a word.Score: three.Justin steps up and starts absolutely cooking.A baby kangaroo? Joey.Sapphire? Blue.Girl with the red hood? Little Red Riding Hood.Quarters in two dollars? Eight.Crushed peanuts? Peanut butter.Which ocean borders California?Atlantic.NOOOOOOO.Justin still posts the best score so far with five, but geography has officially entered the building and chosen violence.Next comes Zach, who asks the show to wish his son Jameson a happy 11th birthday.Rizz explains they don't do shout-outs while immediately wishing Jameson a happy birthday and giving him applause.Perfect.Now Dad has to win for Jameson.Unfortunately, Dad does not know how many years are in a millennium.Happy birthday, buddy.Daddy got you 100 years instead of 1,000.Mark is next and nearly gets taken out immediately by Scar from The Lion King. After what feels like a complete psychological journey, he finally remembers the villain's name and battles his way to five correct answers, tying Justin.Then Aaron arrives with the opportunity to avoid a playoff entirely.His first question:What is the bottom color of a standard traffic light?Red.Game over.The answer is green.Aaron scores the day's first zero, and somewhere every DMV employee listening quietly locks the doors.Now we have a playoff.Justin returns first and answers six inches in half a foot.Correct.Bruce Wayne's superhero identity?Batman.Correct.What country is directly north of Mexico?Alaska.ALASKA.The comedy podcast has officially abandoned geography and entered experimental theater.The room absolutely collapses.Not only is Alaska not directly north of Mexico, it is — and we cannot stress this enough — not a country.Justin finishes with two.That leaves Mark needing three correct answers to win.Football safety? Two points.Shape with no corners or straight sides? Circle.Famous New York statue holding a torch?Statue of Liberty.We have a winner.Mark takes the Rizz Quiz crown and chooses Breaking Benjamin with Chevelle tickets, bringing one of the most educationally concerning contests in recent show history to a merciful conclusion.But Rizz has one final question.He reveals the closest-number tiebreaker they could have used: How many floors are in the Empire State Building?Now everybody in the studio gets involved.Devon guesses 54.Lern lands on 88 after changing her answer.Another guess rockets all the way to 224.Rafe goes with 150 — while admitting he almost said 400 before realizing that might make him “sound like a real dumb ass.”Good save.The actual answer according to the quiz?Lern's 88 is closest.Somehow, after an entire segment of listeners getting publicly destroyed by elementary-school trivia, Lern walks away the intellectual champion.So this episode has everything: Jeremy Piven birthday wishes, Buc-ee's trademark warfare, Big Beaver, John Oliver trolling, concert tickets, Garfield, Jupiter, a child learning his father doesn't know what a millennium is, California apparently relocating to the Atlantic Ocean, Alaska declaring independence from the United States and a group of grown adults trying to estimate the height of the Empire State Building.It's trivia.It's chaos.It's The Rizzuto Show.And please remember before getting behind the wheel today:Green is on the bottom.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.

What do concussions, Mexico City, a $2,000 foldable iPhone, midnight margaritas, tanning beds and a robot vacuum catching an alleged cheater have in common?Absolutely nothing.So naturally, we put them together.This three-episode collection of The Rizzuto Show combines some spectacularly unrelated conversations into one giant funny podcast featuring physical trauma, international rock-star adventures, technological betrayal, relationship debates and enough questionable judgment to keep everybody employed for at least one more morning.The chaos begins with a simple question: has anyone on the show ever been knocked out cold?Moon recalls childhood injuries and the 219 stitches he's had in his head and face, along with moments when a hard impact made everything go black. Rafe remembers a helmet-to-helmet football collision that left him seeing lights before collapsing. Lern doesn't think she was ever fully knocked unconscious, although her cousins apparently made a respectable effort when they were kids.Meanwhile, Rizz reveals that his social-media algorithm has correctly identified his primary interests as cooking videos and watching people get absolutely demolished.Personalized technology is beautiful.From there, Moon returns from Mexico City after performing with Goldfinger at Warped Tour. He describes roughly 40,000 people packed in front of their stage, with more than 150,000 tickets sold for the event overall. Mexico City's altitude makes performing an adventure of its own, but Moon comes back raving about the crowd, the people, the food and the sheer size of a city that seemingly never ends.There are chilaquiles. There are frijoles. There's an extremely nice hotel. There are also security precautions involving verified drivers and discussions of kidnapping risks, because apparently touring internationally occasionally requires more preparation than “bring your guitar.”Moon also gets reflective about the wealth disparity he saw and how traveling outside your normal bubble can violently reset your perspective.Then everybody talks airports, TSA rules and the possibility of approved non-ticketed visitors eventually being allowed back through security at select airports. This leads directly into old airport nostalgia, Global Entry complaints, confiscated toiletries and all the other tiny indignities we accept because somebody once decided 3.5 ounces of shampoo represents chaos.Lern then takes us into another terrifying environment:Youth baseball.After attending her best friend's son's game, she reports back on parents blocking views with tents, adults getting way too emotionally invested and one dad loudly criticizing his own kid while the kid is trying to hit.The crew gets into overbearing sports parents, adults attempting to relive their glory days through children, screaming at referees and umpires, and the incredible ability of youth athletics to turn otherwise functional adults into people who believe a 12-year-old's batting average determines the family legacy.And somehow that still isn't the weirdest concert-related story.At an outdoor gig, Lern encounters an audience member who brings their own guitar AND a battery-powered amplifier, sets up in front of the band and simply starts playing along.Not invited.Not hired.Not remotely part of the band.Just spiritually promoted themselves.Honestly, that confidence should be studied.Then another episode brings us the reported foldable Apple iPhone and the greatest civil-rights battle nobody expected: left-handed people versus phone design.The show discusses complaints that the foldable phone's layout is significantly friendlier to right-handed users. Moon's position is compassionate and nuanced:The world is built for right-handed people. Deal with it.Rizz responds by digging into supposed advantages of being left-handed in sports, creativity and other areas, which somehow becomes a discussion of famous lefties, presidents and Professor Lern's historically questionable theories.Her future college course remains undefeated:“Things I Think, But Can't Prove.”Everybody passes.The funny podcast then transforms into a movie-review program nobody requested.Lern and her mom go see Practical Magic 2 dressed as witches and discover they are apparently the only people who received the imaginary costume memo. Fortunately, they have midnight margaritas and commit to the bit.Lern enjoys the movie. Rafe also enjoys it.There is only one important difference.Rafe went alone.Now the crew can't stop imagining one solitary man sitting among groups of mothers and daughters at Practical Magic 2, looking suspicious despite having the extremely innocent explanation that he simply likes Sandra Bullock and wanted the movie to succeed.Moon counters with his own nostalgia fix in Mortal Kombat 2, and suddenly the show has become Siskel & Ebert if Siskel & Ebert spent half the review making fun of each other.More movie talk follows, including horror, sequels and entertainment news, before the show encounters something truly horrifying:Fake Eminem.An AI-generated song presented like a new Eminem track reportedly racks up more than 100,000 YouTube views before being removed. The crew listens and quickly realizes something is missing.Variation.A hook.Actual Eminem.And, most importantly, references to his mom.AI may be coming for everyone's jobs, but apparently Slim Shady remains safe for another afternoon.Then Missouri gives everyone approximately seven minutes of gorgeous weather.Rizz has the family outside. The dogs are playing. Nobody is fighting. Lern starts dreaming about jackets. Sweater weather is coming!Tomorrow's high?99 degrees.Thanks, St. Louis.The conversation immediately gets darker when the show discusses allegations involving secret recordings of unsuspecting people using tanning facilities at an Arnold-area gym. The story summons the imaginary justice system known as Rizland, where the crew begins designing an increasingly elaborate form of Swamp Justice for the accused.Lern proposes public shaming.Rafe adds tanning.Rizz gets disturbingly enthusiastic about the cooking process.Nobody should give these people judicial authority.Ever.Next, Sex Time Fun Facts brings in a relationship dilemma involving a husband who wants to leave a stressful, high-paying career and pursue a calmer life. His wife worries about losing their lifestyle and wonders whether getting his testosterone checked might restore the ambitious “tiger” she married.The room immediately divides over burnout, money, responsibility, marriage and whether this man genuinely needs a healthier life or just discovered mushrooms at Burning Man and now wants to skateboard in Costa Rica.Underneath the jokes, the crew actually gets into the reality that people change during long relationships — and that figuring out how to adapt together may be more important than expecting your spouse to remain exactly who they were when you met.Very mature.Don't worry. It doesn't last.Because now we have a robot vacuum solving infidelity.The show discusses a story from Taiwan involving a husband who reportedly activated a robot vacuum remotely and discovered his wife with another man through the device's camera.Forget lipstick on the collar.The Roomba has evidence.The legal aftermath gets even stranger, but Rafe remains fixated on the true violation: another man allegedly sitting bare-assed on the couch where the husband watches football.Some betrayals simply cut deeper.That launches the crew into a debate over what actually qualifies as cheating.Flirtatious texts?Late-night conversations you hide from your partner?Keeping a dating profile for “validation”?Deleting messages?Saving somebody under a fake name?Talking to another person about problems in your relationship?Everyone draws the line somewhere different, although Moon offers perhaps the most useful conclusion: if you want a genuinely healthy relationship, maybe stop deliberately hanging out directly next to the line.This reasonable advice lasts until the show debates whether a straight married guy could theoretically maintain a Grindr profile exclusively for compliments.We tried.Three episodes. One spectacular pile of nonsense.You've got people getting knocked out, Moon playing for a gigantic Mexico City crowd, airport security, youth-sports parents, an unauthorized audience guitarist, left-handed phone discrimination, witch costumes, midnight margaritas, Mortal Kombat nostalgia, AI Eminem, fake sweater weather, alleged tanning-bed surveillance, marital burnout, relationship boundaries and a robot vacuum that has seen things no household appliance should ever have to see.It's weird news, funny stories, pop culture commentary, St. Louis chaos and exactly the kind of funny podcast where you can start with traumatic brain injuries and somehow end up debating whether your Roomba is legally allowed to testify against your spouse.Technology was a mistake.Vans Warped Tour Mexico CityTSA revives pre-9/11 tradition with gate access for certain travelers without tickets'Practical Magic 2' Box Office: Sequel Fizzles With $28 Million DebutMan charged after police say he secretly recorded people while tanning at Arnold gymFollow 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.

For one beautiful evening, St. Louis experienced something almost forgotten: comfortable weather.Rizz had the family outside. The dogs were running around. Everyone was smiling. Nobody was fighting. There was a breeze. Lern started dreaming about jackets again.And then the forecast said 99 degrees.Welcome back to Missouri, where “sweater weather” is apparently just a limited-time promotional offer.Episode 36 of The Rizzuto Show starts with weather optimism and immediately deteriorates into tanning beds, alleged hidden cameras, marital resentment, robot-vacuum surveillance and a full courtroom debate over what technically counts as cheating.In other words, another perfectly healthy daily podcast.The first major story comes out of Arnold, where the show discusses a man facing multiple felony invasion-of-privacy charges after police said an investigation uncovered evidence of people allegedly being secretly photographed or recorded in tanning facilities at a local gym.It's creepy, invasive and exactly the kind of story that summons one of The Rizzuto Show's least legally recognized institutions:Swamp Justice.Lern proposes a Game of Thrones-style walk of shame. Rafe wants to add an unpleasant tanning session beforehand. Rizz starts turning the whole thing into a human rotisserie concept until everyone has contributed enough hypothetical punishment ideas to make it extremely clear why none of these people should ever be appointed to the judiciary.To be clear: nobody dies.They're just... aggressively seared.The conversation briefly wanders through Woody Harrelson, Matthew McConaughey and college football before Sex Time Fun Facts introduces an email that divides the room.A woman says she married hSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Have you ever been knocked completely unconscious?That's the perfectly normal question Rizz decides to open the week with, and suddenly everybody is digging through their personal history to figure out whether they've ever actually been knocked out cold.Moon has the strongest résumé, considering he somehow accumulated 219 stitches in his head and face as a kid and remembers multiple collisions where everything went black. Rafe recalls a helmet-to-helmet football hit that left him seeing the proverbial cartoon birds before collapsing. Lern doesn't think she's ever been fully knocked unconscious, although growing up with cousins who regularly beat the crap out of her apparently made it a legitimate possibility.And Rizz?Rizz has been watching compilation videos of other people getting absolutely demolished.Healthy Monday morning behavior.One clip involving a guy falling off a boat, smashing his head on a dock and disappearing into the water becomes particularly concerning — mostly because Rizz's algorithm apparently believes watching strangers fall down is his primary hobby.From there, this funny podcast heads south of the border as Moon returns from Mexico City after performing with Goldfinger at Warped Tour.And this was not exactly an intimate acoustic evening.Moon describes roughly 40,000 people packed in front of their stage, with the festival selling more than 150,000 tickets overall. He talks about Mexico City's enormous scale, the altitude, the incredible food, the people, the wealth disparity and the extra security precautions surrounding touring musicians in a place where the rules and risks can feel very different.There are chilaquiles. There are frijoles. There are expensive cigars. There's a ridiculously expensive steak.And naturally, Rizz's primary concern is whether Moon remembered to buy him Viagra.International travel really broadens the mind.Moon also talks about flying around the anniversary of 9/11, which leads into a discussion about airport security and TSA programs that could potentially allow approved non-ticketed visitors back through security at select airports. The gang remembers the ancient civilization known as “the 1990s,” when you could actually walk someone all the way to their gate without being treated like you were attempting to infiltrate NORAD.They also get into liquid restrictions, TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, inconsistent airport screening and the horrifying experience of throwing away expensive shampoo because apparently national security depends on Lern traveling with a tiny bottle of conditioner.Then Rafe reveals that he witnessed something deeply disturbing on 9/11:A family ordered two seafood towers.Two towers.And Rafe watched the second one go down.We apologize to everyone.Food remains a theme when the crew compares absurd restaurant prices, including Moon's Mexico City steakhouse experience and Lern contemplating finally dropping serious money on Alinea in Chicago for an anniversary dinner. Because nothing says romance like spending enough on dinner to briefly reconsider your retirement plan.Then Lern enters a place far more dangerous than Mexico City:Youth baseball.She attends her best friend's son's game and discovers an ecosystem of pop-up tents blocking everyone's view, dads standing directly behind home plate, parents coaching from the sidelines and one father criticizing his own kid so relentlessly that Lern — a woman who isn't even entirely sure how old the child she came to support is — starts emotionally adopting the entire team.That launches a bigger conversation about parents living through their kids, screaming at coaches and officials, and turning youth sports into their own personal Game 7.Rafe remembers his dad loudly chirping him from the stands during basketball games. Moon remembers a young umpire being so intimidated by an aggressive coach that the situation became genuinely humiliating. Rizz talks about parents screaming at aging high-school officials who are simply trying to keep up with teenage athletes without requiring emergency medical assistance.The consensus?Maybe let the kids play.Wild concept.But this episode still has one more masterpiece waiting.Lern's band plays an outdoor show at Schlafly Bottleworks, where the heat is brutal, the crowd is lively and one audience member decides that simply watching the band isn't enough.This person brings a guitar.And an amp.Then sets up in front of the actual band and starts playing along.Not invited.Not part of the group.Just spiritually promoted themselves to guitarist.People in the crowd start moving away while Lern tries to process whether this is annoying, hilarious or possibly the boldest audition in music history. The mystery musician is apparently friendly, fist-bumps Lern, makes song requests and continues enjoying their completely unauthorized guest appearance.Moon thinks Lern missed an opportunity.His solution? Bring the person onstage. Turn them into part of the show. Maybe let them shred. Maybe get them to stage dive.If it were Greek Fire?Security.Immediately.That's called artistic integrity.By the end, this funny podcast has managed to connect head injuries, massive concerts in Mexico City, airport security, seafood towers, $190 steaks, overbearing baseball parents and the only person brave enough to attend a concert and apparently think, “These guys could use another guitarist.”Episode 174 is The Rizzuto Show doing what it does best: beginning with one innocent question and somehow ending up in six completely different arguments nobody knew they needed.It's travel stories, St. Louis comedy, concert chaos, parenting disasters, weird personal memories and sarcastic humor from a group of people who can turn airport shampoo regulations into a legitimate morning discussion.Come for Moon playing in front of tens of thousands of people. Stay for Lern accidentally discovering the world's most aggressive volunteer guitarist.That's a funny podcast right there.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.

What happens when Apple makes a $2,000 foldable phone that apparently hates left-handed people?You get 43 minutes of The Rizzuto Show doing what it does best: taking one mildly ridiculous topic and driving it directly into left-handed presidents, witch costumes, midnight margaritas, Mortal Kombat nostalgia, creepy horror movies, celebrity gossip and an AI-generated Eminem song that fools 100,000 people.Just another productive morning.Episode 32 begins with the show discussing reports and early reviews of Apple's foldable “iPhone Duo,” including complaints that its design is much friendlier to right-handed users. The hinge, rounded edges and relocated controls supposedly create an awkward experience if you insist on holding the phone with your left hand.Moon's response?The world is built for right-handed people. Get over it.And with that, our comedy show launches into an investigation of whether left-handed people might actually have the better deal everywhere else.Rizz runs through supposed advantages for lefties in baseball, tennis, boxing, fencing, complex math, art, music and even language recovery after certain brain injuries. The crew gets into famous lefties like Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, Bill Gates and Oprah, along with the surprisingly large number of left-handed presidents.This also gives Lern an opportunity to provide several historical theories that absolutely nobody should put on an exam.Her future college course already has a name: “Things I Think, But Can't Prove.”Everybody passes.Then the episode turns into movie-review central when Lern reports back from Practical Magic 2.She and her mom went to the theater dressed as witches, expecting to find an entire coven waiting for them.There was no coven.They were the witches.Fortunately, midnight margaritas were involved, so dignity was never really part of the evening.Lern gives the movie an 8 out of 10 and talks about its humor, heart, nostalgia and emotional moments. She admits she may either be entering a sentimental phase of life or becoming clinically depressed, which seems like a perfectly reasonable way to review a movie.Then we discover Rafe also saw Practical Magic 2.Alone.Rafe explains that he wanted to support Sandra Bullock and help the movie succeed despite the rough critical reviews. He liked the movie, enjoyed the mother-daughter energy in the theater and gave it roughly a B.Of course, the crew is much more interested in the visual of one lone man sitting among groups of mothers and daughters watching Practical Magic 2.Especially once imaginary witch hats and the phrase “Bangers Only” enter the conversation.Moon has the male-nostalgia counterpart ready: Mortal Kombat 2.For him, it scratches the exact same itch. It doesn't need to reinvent cinema. It just needs to make him feel like the kid who went to see Mortal Kombat repeatedly in the '90s. Karl Urban shows up as Johnny Cage, the cheese level rises appropriately, and Moon happily returns to being a Mortal Kombat nerd.Then everybody puts on their extremely unofficial film-critic hats for Obsession and Backrooms.The crew discusses Obsession and its wonderfully simple premise: a guy uses a magical “One Wish Willow” to wish that a woman would love him more than anything else in the world.Great idea.Surely nothing horrifying could happen there.Moon likes how the movie plays with recognizable feelings of love and infatuation before pushing them into increasingly disturbing territory, while Rafe appreciates the simplicity of the magical object that kicks everything off.Then Moon describes Backrooms as this generation's The Blair Witch Project — built around internet lore, liminal spaces, camcorder-style filmmaking, anticipation and the jump-scare language younger audiences grew up with through games like Five Nights at Freddy's.Rizz also squeezes in the Mr. T documentary because apparently we're running a multiplex now.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, and this comedy show somehow gets even busier.The transcript gets into Lady Gaga reportedly appearing with a newborn alongside fiancé Michael Polansky, possible new music from My Chemical Romance, Oasis teasing an announcement, and the show's ongoing investment in whether Ella Langley can knock Mariah Carey off a chart record.Naturally, the crew's proposed strategy is simply to play “Choosin' Texas” continuously until Mariah's Christmas empire collapses.We also get entertainment talk involving The Odyssey, Alan Ritchson, Helen Mirren embracing AI for quick medical questions, and the wonderfully specific revelation that Mirren once lamented Kurt Cobain never getting to experience GPS.Forget the music he never made.The man never got turn-by-turn directions.That's apparently the tragedy.Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly dating rumors send Rafe into emotional distress because he has had enough of MGK getting involved with attractive women. A resurfaced Dustin Hoffman interview sparks a much more serious discussion about consent and past allegations surrounding the actor. Courteney Cox talks about potentially directing a future Scream, and the crew immediately starts constructing an increasingly ridiculous meta-Scream movie that eventually involves Jennifer Aniston.There's also news of another Family Stone movie, giving Lern yet another sequel to something she loves and another opportunity for the entertainment industry to weaponize nostalgia against her.Finally, AI comes for Eminem.An AI-generated track presented like a new Eminem song reportedly racks up more than 100,000 YouTube views before being removed. The crew listens to part of it and is less than convinced.Where's the variation?Where's the real Eminem energy?Most importantly: where's the reference to his mom?If artificial intelligence wants to replace Slim Shady, apparently it needs to study harder.By the time celebrity birthdays arrive, Episode 32 has traveled from a foldable phone to left-handed supremacy, presidential handedness, witch costumes, midnight margaritas, horror movies, Mortal Kombat, Mr. T, celebrity relationships, AI medicine and fake Eminem.Which is exactly how a comedy show should operate: start with a phone and end somewhere nobody could possibly have predicted.Come for the foldable iPhone controversy. Stay for Professor Lern's completely unaccredited history class, Rafe's solo witch-movie adventurSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Well, this one gets uncomfortable immediately.This episode of The Rizzuto Show starts with the fallout surrounding former Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton and the chat room he was reportedly spotted visiting on a flight. The organization behind that online community responds to the controversy, and suddenly the crew finds itself having a much more complicated conversation than anybody probably expected this early in the morning.The discussion centers on a difficult question: if someone recognizes that they're having dangerous or disturbing thoughts and genuinely wants professional help before ever harming another person, where should that help come from — and where is the line between providing treatment and creating an environment that could normalize or encourage those thoughts?It's exactly the kind of conversation where this comedy podcast somehow wanders from psychology and morality to robot technology and eventually a hypothetical island solution nobody should ever allow this crew to administer.Thankfully, Crap on Celebrities eventually arrives to rescue everyone from that conversation.Sort of.The Foo Fighters have quietly released a six-track live EP featuring performances from intimate club shows, with proceeds supporting local charities fighting food insecurity. So that's genuinely nice.Then the Spice Girls decide to emotionally clothesline their fans.After teasing a major announcement and getting reunion-starved fans dreaming about a possible Sphere residency, the big reveal turns out to be…a 14-disc singles collection.FOURTEEN DISCS.Somewhere, somebody had already started explaining to their spouse why spending irresponsible amounts of money to hear “Wannabe” in Las Vegas was actually a sound financial decision. Instead, congratulations: here are B-sides.Michael Jackson memorabilia also enters the conversation when one of his crystal-covered gloves from the Victory Tour heads to auction. The crew is shocked by the projected price and immediately starts calculating its future value like they're suddenly Sotheby's with fart jokes.Snoop Dogg is announced as host of the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, Nirvana is set for the Video Vanguard Award, and the gang wonders who exactly the VMAs are for anymore. Once upon a time, you planned your entire night around MTV. Now we're explaining to the children that MTV technically still exists.St. Louis gets dragged into Crap on Celebrities too, with Sexyy Red facing a lawsuit over allegations that she posted a woman's home address and encouraged followers to attack her. Her attorney disputes the allegations, but it gives the show another opportunity to demonstrate why “celebrity news” is sometimes just a nicer phrase for “what the hell is happening?”And then we get Rick Springfield.During an appearance on Joe Rogan, Springfield discussed spending time entertaining American troops in Vietnam in 1968 and described being caught in an attack. According to his story, soldiers had him fire a mortar toward an area where enemy forces were believed to be moving. The next day, he says, a soldier told him, “you got one.”That revelation leads to a very serious discussion about the emotional weight Springfield says he still carries from the experience.It also leads Rafe to have…questions.A lot of questions.The crew debates the details of the story, how a teenage musician visiting troops ends up operating a mortar, what training would have been necessary, how anyone could have confirmed the result afterward and whether decades can alter the way people remember extraordinary experiences.It's heavy, strange and exactly the kind of story this comedy podcast can spend fifteen seconds respectfully processing before somebody notices Springfield used the phrase “hard to land with me” while talking about firing a mortar.Celebrity chaos continues with Nobody Wants This, the return of Practical Magic, Sandra Bullock, some rough Rotten Tomatoes scores, Liam Neeson continuing his lifelong commitment to finding people, and an Oasis documentary apparently becoming the safest movie choice of the weekend.The crew also discusses a documentary examining Alec Baldwin during the legal fallout surrounding the Rust shooting before Lern tries to brighten a show filled with unusually serious subjects by bringing in Dolly Parton and a posthumously released recording of “Bound to Ride.”That immediately creates another important Rizzuto Show question: exactly where are you supposed to listen to bluegrass?Driving sadly through the countryside? Silver Dollar City? Somewhere near Branson while buying a pop gun?We may never know.Then it's celebrity birthdays, Brian De Palma appreciation, a reminder that Carlito's Way deserves your attention and, because we apparently weren't already operating at maximum weirdness, the traditional porno birthday.Today's show is a comedy podcast built around the Rizz Show's greatest skill: taking one genuinely difficult topic, following it with celebrity gossip, somehow finding Rick Springfield holding a mortar in Vietnam, and ending up discussing Spice Girls box sets, Dolly Parton and movies nobody should ever have been forced to title.It's thoughtful. It's uncomfortable. It's ridiculous.In other words, everybody made it to work.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.

Welcome to another episode of The Rizzuto Show, where getting stitches removed somehow leads to naked shopping, bathroom trauma, fart acceptance, a landfill cat rescue and a serious debate over whether anybody under 25 knows what cash is anymore.This funny show starts with Rizz preparing to finally get his stitches removed and worrying about the scar underneath. Naturally, this becomes a conversation about aging, falling down stairs, mysterious back injuries, hearing loss, stretching just to remain operational and the depressing discovery that modern medicine may be helping us live longer without necessarily making those extra years more comfortable. Welcome to the Geriatric Morning Show. Please bend at the knees when exiting.Then Rizz offers the crew a choice between a nice story and somebody getting naked at Home Goods.Guess which one wins.A Florida shopper reportedly walks into Home Goods, apologizes to a woman, drops his pants and eventually ends up wandering around the store naked. This somehow inspires Lern to consider whether shopping at Home Goods completely nude might actually be enjoyable under the correct circumstances. Soon the crew is discussing nudist resorts, naked grocery shopping and towel etiquette because we apparently abandoned the original story somewhere around decorative throw pillows.That also gives Rafe the opportunity to share his own recent encounter with unexpected nudity: walking into a restaurant bathroom and finding a grown man at the urinal with his pants and underwear completely around his ankles.Full moon. Broad daylight.Rafe's brain immediately activates what Lern describes as the human security system designed to detect either exposed butts or approaching lions. It's science. Probably.The episode then moves into an alleged MMA fighter-versus-chimpanzee story that has the crew firmly rooting for the animal and questioning every decision that led humanity to this particular moment. Thankfully, we eventually get an animal story everybody can celebrate: Mike, an eight-year-old cat accidentally thrown away inside an old couch.After the couch reaches a massive landfill, workers miraculously spot Mike stranded above a trash pit. A crew uses heavy equipment to help rescue him before animal control eventually gets him identified and reunited with his owner. Mike survives. Humanity gets one point back.Then comes one of modern society's smallest yet most powerful social anxieties: the restaurant payment screen.“It's going to ask you a quick question.”WE KNOW WHAT THE QUESTION IS.The gang debates tipping pressure, servers standing beside you while you choose a percentage and the awkward eye contact that turns paying for lunch into a hostage negotiation. A viral server offers a surprisingly simple solution: hand over the device and talk to somebody else while the customer finishes paying.Meanwhile, Gen Alpha has apparently solved another social crisis entirely: being embarrassed about farting.A dance teacher says younger students just let them rip without carrying the shame previous generations dragged around for decades. Moon is thrilled. Lern shares some personal wind-instrument history. Suddenly the Rizzuto Show is analyzing bass versus treble fart tones because NPR wasn't available.The generational divide continues when Rizz watches a young Panera cashier struggle with actual paper money. That launches a debate over whether cash is still king, whether digital money is safer, what happens if the power grid goes down and whether anyone really wants to shave pieces off a gold bar to pay for bananas at Schnucks.From there, the crew remembers the inconveniences younger generations escaped: waiting beside the family phone for an important call, giant telephone cords, payphones, snow-day announcements, shared phone lines and parents losing their minds when somebody dared call during dinner.But this episode also takes a meaningful turn.Rizz reflects on September 11 and what it means that an event still so vivid for people who experienced it is now history taught to younger generations who weren't alive when it happened. He shares memories of being in Manhattan that morning, the confusion surrounding the attacks and the way people came together afterward.The crew also discusses Wells Crowther, remembered as the Man in the Red Bandana, who repeatedly helped people escape the South Tower before losing his own life. Rizz connects the story to conversations with his daughter and the importance of remembering not only what happened, but the people who ran toward danger to help others.So yes, this funny show contains exposed butts, Home Goods, cat rescues, fart sociology and arguments about whether paper money still matters. But underneath the usual chaos, there's also a reminder that comedy and real life can occupy the same morning.One minute you're discussing a naked man shopping for seasonal décor. The next you're remembering courage, sacrifice and a day that changed everything.That unpredictable mix is pretty much what this funny show does best.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.

Thankfully, Crap on Celebrities eventually arrives to rescue everyone from that conversation. Sort of.The Foo Fighters have quietly released a six-track live EP featuring performances from intimate club shows, with proceeds supporting local charities fighting food insecurity. So that's genuinely nice. Then the Spice Girls decide to emotionally clothesline their fans.

Driving sadly through the countryside? Silver Dollar City? Somewhere near Branson while buying a pop gun? We may never know.Then it's celebrity birthdays, Brian De Palma appreciation, a reminder that Carlito's Way deserves your attention and, because we apparently weren't already operating at maximum weirdness, the traditional porno birthday.Nothing exposes how differently your coworkers' brains function quite like asking them to name a country in Europe and putting concert tickets on the line. The Rizzuto Show brings us another round of “Just the Two of Us,” the deceptively simple contest where callers pick two members of the show, Rafe asks five questions, and those two people attempt to match at least three answers. Easy, right? Absolutely not.Before the competition begins, Rizz takes a trip through “Back in the Day,” remembering everything from The Carol Burnett Show and Little House on the Prairie to Warrant's “Cherry Pie,” Johnny Unitas, John Ritter and one of the Internet's earliest great gifts: Nick Nolte's spectacularly disheveled mugshot. Then it's time to give away concert tickets, and suddenly this becomes the most stressful game show in St. Louis. The prize pile is loaded with Candlebox, Violent Femmes, Toadies, Babymetal and the final precious pairs of Rush tickets. Unfortunately for the listeners, their ability to attend these concerts depends entirely on whether members of the Rizz Show can agree on incredibly complicated concepts like “an ocean.”Devon and Moon kick things off for caller Adam, who wants Rush tickets. They immediately connect on France, miss each other on states beginning with M, recover with the Arch as a St. Louis tourist attraction and seal the deal with the Pacific Ocean. Adam is going to Rush. For once, this show has successfully accomplished something.Then Rizz and Moon attempt to win Babymetal tickets for Paul. They agree on baseball but immediately demonstrate why this game is dangerous when “name an Olympic sport” produces hockey and curling. Dumbbell saves them on gym equipment, but sledding versus skiing and NFL versus MLB finish the job. Sorry, Paul.

Nothing exposes how differently your coworkers' brains function quite like asking them to name a country in Europe and putting concert tickets on the line.This episode of The Rizzuto Show brings us another round of “Just the Two of Us,” the deceptively simple contest where callers pick two members of the show, Rafe asks five questions, and those two people attempt to match at least three answers.Easy, right?Absolutely not.Before the competition begins, Rizz takes a trip through “Back in the Day,” remembering everything from The Carol Burnett Show and Little House on the Prairie to Warrant's “Cherry Pie,” Johnny Unitas, John Ritter and one of the Internet's earliest great gifts: Nick Nolte's spectacularly disheveled mugshot.Then it's time to give away concert tickets, and suddenly this daily comedy becomes the most stressful game show in St. Louis.The prize pile is loaded with Candlebox, Violent Femmes, Toadies, Babymetal and the final precious pairs of Rush tickets. Unfortunately for the listeners, their ability to attend these concerts depends entirely on whether members of the Rizz Show can agree on incredibly complicated concepts like “an ocean.”Devon and Moon kick things off for caller Adam, who wants Rush tickets. They immediately connect on France, miss each other on states beginning with M, recover with the Arch as a St. Louis tourist attraction and seal the deal with the Pacific Ocean.Adam is going to Rush.For once, this show has successfully accomplished something.Then Rizz and Moon attempt to win Babymetal tickets for Paul. They agree on baseball but immediately demonstrate why this game is dangerous when “name an Olympic sport” produces hockey and curling. Dumbbell saves them on gym equipment, but sledding versus skiing and NFL versus MLB finish the job.Sorry, Paul.The Babymetal dream has died at the hands of winter recreation.Rizz and Moon get another chance when Brad wants Violent Femmes tickets, and this time food brings everybody together.

Nothing brings a morning show together quite like football, competition and immediately arguing over whether one member of the team's score should even count.Episode 101 kicks off with the crew sorting through their Seahawks picks and realizing Devon's presence has created a strategic probem in the season-long competition against The Fast Lane. If one team has an extra player, does Devon's score count? Do they add somebody to the other side? Take the best five scores? Pretend nobody thought about this until the season had already started?All excellent questions. Very few useful answers.What we do know is that Rizz is technically sitting in first place, Moon is second, Lern is third, Rafe is behind them, and Devon's zero becomes the center of a debate that feels significantly more serious than the actual stakes deserve. In other words, exactly how a funny podcast should handle sports.Then it's time for Take Five, sponsored by Universal Windows Direct, with listeners trying to match answers with members of the show for a chance at tickets to Candlebox, Violent Femmes, Toadies with Local H, Babymetal with Halestorm and Rush.The concept is simple: one member of the crew goes into isolation while a caller answers three category questions. When the crew member comes back, they get five guesses to match the caller.Simple game. Deeply complicated people.Lern goes first with Tom, who needs her to match an NFL team with an animal mascot, a South American country and a Will Ferrell movie. “Jaguars” takes Lern all the way to her fifth guess, but she gets there. Anchorman proves much easier, and Tom walks away a winner.Then Moon gets paired with Ray, and things immediately begin deteriorating.Ray picks “I Want to Hold Your Hand” for a Beatles song, Big Daddy for an Adam Sandler movie and Deep Purple for a band with a color in its name. Moon responds to the Beatles category by initially offering “Let It Go,” which would have been revolutionary news for both John Lennon and the Walt Disney Company.He recovers with actual Beatles songs, but never finds Ray's answer.Then comes Adam Sandler. Happy Gilmore. Billy Madison. The Wedding Singer. Grown Ups. Punch-Drunk Love. Moon circles practically the entire Sandler cinematic universe without landing on Big Daddy.Deep Purple becomes even more painful. Moon rattles through Blue October, Green Day, Blue Öyster Cult and The White Stripes, at one point getting tantalizingly close with “deep blue something.” Deep Purple was sitting right there, waving at him from across the room.Ray and Moon lose together. Friendship through mutual disappointment.Next up, Victoria is paired with Devon for categories including a famous person named Mike, a microwave food brand and something with a handle. Victoria chooses Mike Tyson, Banquet and a pitcher.Devon immediately says Mike Myers…and then discovers that apparently every other famous Mike has been temporarily deleted from her brain.Fortunately, “TV dinner” is close enough to Banquet for the crew to show mercy, and Devon somehow lands on coffee cup for something with a handle — remarkably close to Victoria's pitcher and enough to prove once again that Devon can be sneakily dangerous in these games even while claiming she knows only one Mike.Finally, Rizz enters isolation for the last round.His caller chooses Dr. Strange for a famous fictional doctor, Frosted Flakes for a breakfast cereal and Lex Luthor for a famous bald person.Rizz tears through Dr. Dolittle, Dr. Seuss, Dr. Feelgood, Dr. Frank-N-Furter and Doctor Octopus without finding Doctor Strange. Then he absolutely crushes Frosted Flakes on his first try, setting up one final category for the win.Name a famous bald person.Vin Diesel.The Rock.Bruce Willis.Howie Mandel.Jason Statham.All extremely bald. All extremely famous. All completely wrong.The answer was Lex Luthor.That leads to the perfectly reasonable postgame argument over whether “famous bald person” should cause a human being to think of an actual celebrity or a fictional supervillain. Technically Lex Luthor is famous. Technically the caller followed the rules. Technically none of this makes Rizz feel any better.Episode 101 is a funny podcast built around exactly the kind of low-stakes chaos The Rizzuto Show somehow turns into a major competitive event: Seahawks strategy, questionable team math, listeners trying to crawl inside the crew's brains, Moon confusing Frozen with The Beatles, Devon forgetting famous Mikes exist and Rizz losing to the most famous bald supervillain on Earth.It's Take Five, except everybody's dignity gets fewer than five chances.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.

The Rizzuto Show starts innocently enough with football picks and somehow ends up asking whether artificial intelligence will wipe out humanity — with stops along the way for NASCAR drivers, a $34 million brothel empire, terrible celebrity guesses, folding phones, wedding-band disasters and the very real possibility that Rizz could someday be killed by a meatball.So, pretty standard week around here.The Seahawks kick off a strategic scoring controversy as the crew tries to figure out how Devon fits into their competition against The Fast Lane. Does her score count? Does the other team need another player? Should they take the best five scores? Why did nobody figure this out before the season started? These are questions normally reserved for leagues with commissioners and bylaws. Instead, we have Rizz.Then Take Five takes over, as listeners try to match answers with Lern, Moon, Devon and Rizz for concert tickets. Lern survives the dreaded “NFL team with an animal mascot” category by landing on Jaguars with her fifth and final guess. Moon, meanwhile, is asked to name a Beatles song and confidently begins with “Let It Go,” briefly creating the greatest Beatles/Frozen crossover nobody requested.Moon then proceeds to tour the entire Adam Sandler filmography without finding Big Daddy and gets painfully close to Deep Purple by wandering around “deep blue something.” Devon temporarily forgets that famous people named Mike exist, while Rizz correctly identifies Frosted Flakes on his first try before losing the entire game because his caller named fictional supervillain Lex Luthor as a “famous bald person.” Technically correct. Emotionally devastating.Today's show somehow raises the stakes by presenting the crew with the investment opportunity of a lifetime: the Bunny Ranch legacy portfolio in Nevada for roughly $34 million.Suddenly Rizz and the gang are analyzing brothel real estate, acreage, branding, financials and whether the oldest profession might be recession-proof. Lern reminisces about HBO's Cathouse, Moon wants to see the P&Ls, and everyone briefly becomes an investment expert in an industry where absolutely nobody should trust their advice.Then a Nebraska musician accused of taking deposits, double- and triple-booking events and sending multiple clients the same last-minute car-accident excuse gets Lern and Moon talking about the realities of working musicians and why ruining somebody's wedding is generally considered poor customer service.Technology gets its turn when the crew debates an expensive foldable iPhone, whether anyone should ever buy the first generation of a new gadget, planned obsolescence and the eternal Apple-versus-Android battle. Rizz's Meta glasses also spark the important distinction that not everyone wearing them is a creep…but apparently every creep might own a pair.There's also Nirvana, Billy Joel, Soundgarden, streaming-password confusion and NASCAR drivers Jordan Anderson, Blaine Perkins and Jeb Burton joining the day's lineup ahead of racing at World Wide Technology Raceway. Because why have one coherent theme when you can have seventeen?So far things have been far too normal.Lern nearly sleeps through three alarms, launching a full investigation into how everyone wakes up. Some people prefer peaceful gradual sounds. Rizz and Rafe apparently prefer alarms that simulate catastrophic submarine emergencies. Moon explains why using birds as an alarm eventually trained his brain to associate actual birds with going to work, which feels like an unnecessary punishment for both Moon and nature.From there, Rizz introduces the cheerful morning topic of whether AI could eventually pose an existential threat to humanity.The crew dives into warnings surrounding increasingly powerful artificial intelligence, self-improving systems, oversight, regulation, infrastructure and the difference between AI actively hating humans and simply not caring about us at all. Terminator gets mentioned, obviously, but the scarier discussion is whether something vastly more intelligent than humans could eventually treat us the way humans treat an anthill sitting where we want to build a highway.You know. Light morning entertainment.That leads naturally — somehow — into questions about death. Would you want to know the exact date you die? Would you want to know how? Who attends your funeral? What was your biggest missed opportunity?And most importantly: what happens if Rizz learns he dies by meatball?Suddenly every plate of spaghetti becomes a potential crime scene. A rogue meatball could come from anywhere. A restaurant. A waiter. Across the room. Knowing your fate doesn't necessarily help when your fate is apparently covered in marinara.The crew also gets nostalgic over TV dinners, Hungry Man meals, Salisbury steak, dangerously hot desserts and the random corn kernel that somehow migrated into every compartment. The upcoming Cheesecake Factory leads to a discussion about its famously over-the-top decor, which then inspires an even better — and substantially worse — restaurant concept: Stepfather's Pizza.Picture the divorced-dad dining experience perfected. Old televisions playing MAS*H, Cheers, Weather Channel and World War II documentaries. Dim lighting. Half-folded laundry. A smoke detector chirping somewhere in the distance. Finally, a restaurant where the atmosphere says, “Your mother will pick you up Sunday at six.”Across these three episodes, The Rizzuto Show delivers exactly what a comedy podcast should: sports arguments nobody prepared for, games nobody can successfully play, celebrity and music chaos, questionable investment opportunities, technology nobody needs, existential dread nobody requested and enough bizarre hypotheticals to make you reconsider answering questions around these people.Come for the Seahawks, NASCAR and celebrity news. Stay for Moon rewriting Beatles history, Rizz shopping for brothels, Lern fighting her alarm clock, Devon forgetting every Mike on Earth, AI potentially destroying civilization and one meatball patiently waiting to fulfill its destiny.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.‘Gambling with our lives': Another AI employee quits over safety concernsThe Greatest TV Dinners From Recent HistoryWest County Mall Cheesecake Factory set to open in NovemberApple joins foldable phone race with $1999 passport-shaped iPhone DuoSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you've got $34 million sitting around and have always dreamed of owning 50 acres of Nevada desert with a slightly more colorful business history than your average strip mall, congratulations: The Rizzuto Show may have found your next investment.Episode 158 starts with Rizz asking the perfectly normal morning-radio question: who wants to go in on a brothel?The estate of the late Dennis Hof has put the Bunny Ranch legacy portfolio up for sale, including the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, Sagebrush Ranch and Love Ranch. That means nearly 50 acres, buildings, residential units, equipment, vehicles, websites, branding and the kind of business names that make explaining your new career at Thanksgiving significantly more difficult.Naturally, Lern immediately wants to know if Air Force Amy is still involved, Moon wants to see the P&Ls, and Rafe wonders whether the oldest profession might also be recession-proof. Finally, a comedy show providing the serious investment analysis CNBC is too afraid to tackle.From there, the crew meets a Nebraska musician accused of double- and triple-booking events, collecting deposits and then allegedly sending multiple clients the same last-minute excuse: the band had been in a car accident. One wedding family had even spent extra money building a custom stage before the musician canceled minutes before he was supposed to perform.For actual working musicians Lern and Moon, that one hits a nerve. Moon talks about nearly three decades of playing gigs without remembering ever canceling a show, while Lern explains why her band generally stays away from weddings altogether. Apparently the secret to avoiding a wedding-band scandal is simply refusing to become a wedding band. Innovative.Then comes the latest technological advancement nobody in the studio actually needs: a $2,000 foldable iPhone.The crew debates the alleged iPhone Duo, foldable screens, whether buying the first generation of anything is a terrible idea, phone leasing, suspiciously glitchy older phones and the ancient blood feud between Apple users and the Droid Boys. Rizz considers buying one despite openly admitting he has virtually no reason to own it.That conversation leads to Rizz's Meta glasses, which Lern would like everyone to remember are capable of recording people. This produces perhaps the most efficient technology review of the morning: not everyone who owns Meta glasses is creepy…but according to Rizz, apparently every creep owns Meta glasses.Things finally move into Crap on Celebrities, where Nirvana is discussed in connection with MTV's Video Vanguard Award and the crew wonders whether Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic could help convince anyone their age to find MTV again. Rizz also discovers the mysterious St. Charles login that caused him to change his streaming password wasn't an international cybercriminal.It was Moon.Moon was just trying to watch Tulsa King.Mystery solved. Password destroyed. Friendship somehow intact.There's also frustration over a Soundgarden halftime performance that didn't make the broadcast, Billy Joel discussing brain surgery and recovery, memories of Joel famously losing his mind over concert lighting, Pantera-related festival talk and plenty more music and entertainment chaos packed into Crap on Celebrities.And because this comedy show apparently needed one more gear, NASCAR drivers Jordan Anderson, Blaine Perkins and Jeb Burton are part of the day's lineup surrounding the big race weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway.Then Rafe prepares Take Five, where listeners try to predict the answers of isolated members of the show for a shot at concert tickets. Candlebox, Violent Femmes, Toadies with Local H, Babymetal with Halestorm and Rush tickets are on the table, proving that occasionally this circus does provide tangible benefits.Somewhere between the Nevada brothel real-estate portfolio, musicians behaving badly, folding phones, Meta-glasses paranoia, streaming-password confusion, rock-news detours and NASCAR invading the studio, Episode 158 becomes exactly what a comedy show should be: several conversations that absolutely should not belong together, somehow held together by Rizz and the gang.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.

Nothing prepares you for another morning of daily comedy quite like sleeping through THREE alarms, which is exactly how Lern nearly started her day.That kicks off a very serious investigation into how everybody wakes up. Lern prefers a gradual approach, with increasingly aggressive alarms and songs like “Spooky.” Rizz and Rafe apparently prefer waking up like a nuclear submarine has just discovered an incoming torpedo. Moon wants something gentle enough that his heart doesn't immediately file for workers' comp.Which alarm actually works? Something soothing? “Eye of the Tiger”? “Smells Like Teen Spirit”? A drill sergeant screaming at you while beating trash cans together?Anything is better than accidentally incorporating your alarm into your dream and waking up ten minutes after you were supposed to be a functioning adult.But why bother waking up at all? Apparently AI might kill us by 2030.Rizz brings in warnings attributed to people who have worked inside the AI industry about self-improving artificial intelligence, the difficulty of controlling increasingly capable systems and the possibility that humanity could become collateral damage without AI ever needing to become “evil.” Think less Terminator intentionally hunting Sarah Connor and more humans becoming the anthill somebody paved over while building a highway.That launches Rizz, Lern, Moon and Rafe into a surprisingly deep debate about artificial intelligence, regulation, infrastructure, jobs, humanoid robots, technological progress and whether we should be optimistic about what comes next or start practicing our best Matrix battery impressions.Naturally, this leads directly into death.Because this is daily comedy, and apparently we have transitions now.If somebody handed you an envelope containing the exact date you'll die, would you open it? What about how you die? Would you want to know who attends your funeral? The biggest opportunity you unknowingly missed? Or who secretly has a crush on you?Everyone has a different answer until the crew lands on the most terrifying hypothetical imaginable: learning that you will eventually die by meatball.Do you stop eating meatballs forever? Does avoiding them even matter if fate has already decided? Does a waiter eventually drop a tray and launch your destiny directly into your mouth? Suddenly Rizz is spending the rest of his life looking over his shoulder while tiny meatballs roll ominously down the street behind him.The funeral discussion somehow gets even better when Rafe introduces the concept of a “coffin confessor” — someone hired before your death to attend your funeral and settle scores with people on your behalf. Rizz immediately sounds like a potential customer.Then everybody debates missed opportunities, secret crushes and Moon's claim that when a relationship is truly right, marriage doesn't necessarily have to be hard. Rafe quickly translates this into “get divorced today,” which is definitely not what Moon said but is much funnier for everyone else.Thankfully, National TV Dinner Day arrives before the relationship segment can destroy any actual marriages.The crew takes a nostalgia trip through Swanson fried chicken dinners, Banquet Salisbury steak, Hungry Man turkey dinners, Kid Cuisine, Stouffer's mac and cheese, Bagel Bites and the scorching brownie that somehow always had one renegade kernel of corn trapped inside it.That inspires perhaps the greatest terrible business idea in Rizz Show history: Stepfather's Pizza.Imagine a restaurant built around divorced-dad energy. TV dinners. Pizza. Old TVs at every booth playing MAS*H, Cheers, the Weather Channel and cheaply produced World War II documentaries. Dim lighting. Patchouli. Semi-folded laundry. Smoke alarms chirping because nobody replaced the battery.It's not a restaurant. It's an atmosphere of mild disappointment.The crew also celebrates the upcoming Cheesecake Factory location at West County Mall while trying to identify exactly what architectural theme Cheesecake Factory has been going for all these years. Egyptian? Greek? Mediterranean? Haunted Indiana Jones warehouse? The answer appears to be “yes.”From alarm-clock trauma to AI extinction, meatball destiny, funeral grudges, marriage debates and frozen Salisbury steak, this episode somehow turns existential dread into daily comedy — which is probably healthier than actually solving any of these problems.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.

The crew survived AC/DC and Foo Fighters in St. Louis, although several functioning eardrums may have been left behind at the Dome.Today's funny podcast begins with Lern, Rafe and the gang breaking down the concert experience, including Foo Fighters battling the acoustics, AC/DC proving that age is apparently just a number when you're powered entirely by guitar riffs, and Brian Johnson and Angus Young somehow having more stamina than half the people in the crowd. Rafe admits he may have permanently sacrificed part of his hearing for rock and roll, which feels less like a medical diagnosis and more like the official AC/DC ticket upgrade.Then there's the crowd itself. Light-up devil horns. Cigarettes. Vapes. Kids experiencing their first concert. Retired working men desperately trying to make it back from the bathroom before “Back in Black.” People leaning on strangers. People recording everything. Basically, tens of thousands of humans gathering together to demonstrate why assigned seating remains one of society's most ambitious experiments.Rafe even goes from being furious about a guy vaping near him to becoming spiritually invested in the man's ability to blow vape clouds along with AC/DC. Thunderstruck changes people.Unfortunately, surviving the concert only gets Rafe to his next challenge: McDonald's.The late-night order includes nuggets, a Quarter Pounder specifically ordered without onions that arrives absolutely loaded with onions, and barbecue sauce that simply never materializes. The restaurant may technically have been open, but emotionally? Nobody involved was open. Thankfully, the emergency ten-piece nuggets came through and “put Daddy to bed,” which is probably the strongest endorsement McDonald's will receive today.And because this funny podcast refuses to behave like a normal entertainment program, the conversation keeps finding increasingly ridiculous places to go. The crew debates a viral claim involving an MMA fighter supposedly willing to fight a chimpanzee for a massive payday — an idea everyone immediately recognizes as either fake, catastrophically stupid, or possibly both. This naturally turns into gorilla encounters, terrible survival strategies, tranquilizer darts and the general reminder that humans occasionally have way too much confidence.Then comes the kindergarten rumble, because apparently even the smallest members of society are bringing chaos to the program.It's another daily dose of funny stories, weird news, pop culture commentary, St. Louis concert insanity and the kind of conversations that begin somewhere reasonable before Rizz and the gang enthusiastically drive them into a ditch.If you enjoy a funny podcast where a rock concert can lead to hearing loss, fast-food disappointment and completely unnecessary debates about fighting primates, congratulations.

Then comes the kindergarten rumble, because apparently even the smallest members of society are bringing chaos to the program.The next segment kicks off with some truly impressive St. Louis mail drama. A local postal worker is facing federal charges after allegedly dumping roughly 30,000 pieces of mail over a two-year stretch instead of delivering them. That immediately sends the crew down the rabbit hole of missing bills, late fees, surprise snail mail and Rizzuto reminding everybody that his credit is fantastic. Congratulations to him. Everybody stand up and applaud the FICO score.Next up: an Amazon delivery driver in Fenton gets the medieval experience nobody selected at checkout when a crossbow bolt travels roughly 100 yards, blasts through the windshield of his delivery van and impales multiple packages while he's working inside. Somehow, the driver avoids getting hit. The packages? Less fortunate.That leads to Moon remembering the extremely sensible combination of drinking in an Austrian castle and shooting crossbows, Rafe remembering a neighbor who got drunk and fired a crossbow inside his apartment, and everyone wondering exactly how legal backyard archery is when your “target practice” starts entering somebody else's ZIP code. Naturally, the conversation then arrives at Rizzuto's personal nemesis: a giant groundhog living next door.The groundhog keeps wandering onto Rizzuto's property and tormenting his dogs, while everyone else basically sides with the groundhog. Lern names him Justin. Moon suggests the animal may have been there first. Rizzuto reaches full Bill Murray in Caddyshack mode while attempting to figure out what animal control might actually do. At this point, Justin the Groundhog has representation and Rizzuto does not.O.J. Simpson's 2006 hidden-camera prank show, Juiced, was apparently intended as part of an O.J. comeback attempt, including a prank where Simpson posed as a used-car salesman trying to sell a white Ford Bronco with a fake bullet hole. He joked about the Bronco's “escapability,” talked about making the vehicle famous and somehow participated in a production where everyone apparently decided subtlety was for cowards.The crew digs into reports that people involved with the production may have had another motive: getting O.J. comfortable enough on camera to potentially say something revealing. Because apparently the history of television still had a few terrible ideas left in the tank.Crap on Celebrities brings even more entertainment gossip, including Ella Langley chasing a huge Billboard record, Tony Iommi remembering his final conversation with Ozzy Osbourne, Kelly Osbourne sharing another mysterious story from her youth, an unreleased early Van Halen demo, Jimmy Kimmel retirement speculation, John Mulaney potentially stepping into Get Smart, and the news that Lori Loughlin is back on the market — information Rafe handles with tremendous professionalism... Meaning none.There's also Nicolas Cage dealing with a massive sinkhole near his Malibu home, football finally returning, King Scott settling into new-dad duty, the crew scrambling to make their picks, and preparations for another round of Read My Lips.Apparently Quaaludes are back, because society looked around at everything currently happening and decided what we really needed was a pharmaceutical throwback. Reports that methaqualone — better known as Quaaludes or “ludes” — has been making an underground comeback decades after pharmaceutical production disappeared in the United States. That sends the crew straight into stories about the drug's 1970s reputation, The Wolf of Wall Street, Lern's bassist Richard remembering the old days in New York, and Rizz casually revealing that he once took what he believes was a Quaalude sometime around 1998 or 1999. How was it? He “lost the evening.” Good review. Very informative. Five stars.Of course, even Rizz admits he has no idea what he actually took, which leads directly to the episode's only useful public service announcement: no pills, no powders. Please do not go hunting for mystery pharmaceuticals because you heard the idiots on your favorite funny podcast talking about them.Then things somehow wander into Spanish fly, Bill Cosby, gas-station bathroom vending machines, Beavis and Butt-Head and a surprisingly detailed discussion about aphrodisiacs. We started with Quaaludes and ended up investigating an emerald-green blister beetle. Radio is an important medium. Thankfully, it's finally time to play Read My Lips.The rules are simple: somebody gets put into audio isolation, another member of the show silently gives them a word, and the isolated player has three chances to figure it out by reading their lips. Listeners bet on or against the contestant for prizes.Then Devon steps up and apparently activates a superpower nobody knew she had. She gets “fettuccine.” She gets “smart ass.” Campfire finally gives her some trouble, but that's only the warm-up. On her next trip into isolation, Rizz gives her “Worcestershire” — a word half the population can't pronounce while HEARING IT — and Devon gets it. Immediately.At this point, it temporarily becomes an investigation into whether Devon has been secretly reading everyone's lips for years. She follows Worcestershire by immediately getting “flapjack,” and suddenly Rafe is declaring that they've found Neo.Rizz gets his turn and manages to nail “chickenpox,” but “juxtaposition” sends him down a path involving blue jeans, trampolines and “justice of the peace.” Lern battles “burrito” before recovering with “blowtorch” and “horsefly.” Devon comes back for “ragamuffin” and gets impressively close before finally meeting her greatest enemy: the completely ridiculous word “skinflint.” Then comes Rizz's final performance. His word is “bonehead.” His guesses are not “bonehead.”Things only deteriorate when the next word is “deadbolt,” resulting in guesses that include “tadpole” and one answer that definitely demonstrates why lip reading should never be used as sworn testimony. By the end, Devon has established herself as the show's lip-reading legend, multiple listeners walk away winners, Rizz has discovered several new words that were never actually being said, and we've squeezed an unreasonable amount of chaos into less than half an hour.It's games, ridiculous stories, sarcastic humor and Rizz and the gang doing what they do best: taking something incredibly simple and making it unnecessarily complicated.

What do 30,000 pieces of abandoned mail, a runaway crossbow bolt, an enormous groundhog and O.J. Simpson's attempted television comeback have in common? Unfortunately for everyone involved, they all found their way onto The Rizzuto Show.This comedy podcast kicks off with some truly impressive St. Louis mail drama. A local postal worker is facing federal charges after allegedly dumping roughly 30,000 pieces of mail over a two-year stretch instead of delivering them. That immediately sends the crew down the rabbit hole of missing bills, late fees, surprise snail mail and Rizzuto reminding everybody that his credit is fantastic. Congratulations to him. Everybody stand up and applaud the FICO score.But apparently throwing away the mail wasn't enough chaos for one morning.Next up: an Amazon delivery driver in Fenton gets the medieval experience nobody selected at checkout when a crossbow bolt travels roughly 100 yards, blasts through the windshield of his delivery van and impales multiple packages while he's working inside. Somehow, the driver avoids getting hit. The packages? Less fortunate.That leads to Moon remembering the extremely sensible combination of drinking in an Austrian castle and shooting crossbows, Rafe remembering a neighbor who got drunk and fired a crossbow inside his apartment, and everyone wondering exactly how legal backyard archery is when your “target practice” starts entering somebody else's ZIP code.Naturally, the conversation then arrives at Rizzuto's personal nemesis: a giant groundhog living next door.The groundhog keeps wandering onto Rizzuto's property and tormenting his dogs, while everyone else basically sides with the groundhog. Lern names him Justin. Moon suggests the animal may have been there first. Rizzuto reaches full Bill Murray in Caddyshack mode while attempting to figure out what animal control might actually do. At this point, Justin the Groundhog has representation and Rizzuto does not.Then this comedy podcast uncovers a television idea so baffling that it sounds fictional: O.J. Simpson's 2006 hidden-camera prank show, Juiced.Yes. Really.The show was apparently intended as part of an O.J. comeback attempt, including a prank where Simpson posed as a used-car salesman trying to sell a white Ford Bronco with a fake bullet hole. He joked about the Bronco's “escapability,” talked about making the vehicle famous and somehow participated in a production where everyone apparently decided subtlety was for cowards.Later, the crew digs into reports that people involved with the production may have had another motive: getting O.J. comfortable enough on camera to potentially say something revealing. Because apparently the history of television still had a few terrible ideas left in the tank.Crap on Celebrities brings even more entertainment gossip, including Ella Langley chasing a huge Billboard record, Tony Iommi remembering his final conversation with Ozzy Osbourne, Kelly Osbourne sharing another mysterious story from her youth, an unreleased early Van Halen demo, Jimmy Kimmel retirement speculation, John Mulaney potentially stepping into Get Smart, and the news that Lori Loughlin is back on the market — information Rafe handles with tremendous professionalism.Meaning none.There's also Nicolas Cage dealing with a massive sinkhole near his Malibu home, football finally returning, King Scott settling into new-dad duty, the crew scrambling to make their picks, and preparations for another round of Read My Lips.It's St. Louis weird news, celebrity gossip, pop culture commentary, questionable memories and unnecessary groundhog warfare packed into one comedy podcast from Rizz and the gang.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.

AC/DC has officially taken over St. Louis, and somehow that's the least dangerous thing happening on today's show.The crew kicks things off with the AC/DC pop-up at Ballpark Village, the massive crowds surrounding the show and Moon remembering the actual AC/DC Lane he visited in Melbourne—complete with murals and enough rock history to make every tribute band immediately reconsider its career choices. Meanwhile, Lern is preparing for AC/DC and the Foo Fighters, who are hitting the stage promptly at 7 p.m. Seriously. Seven. They've only mentioned it approximately enough times to have it tattooed on everyone entering downtown.Then Sexy Time Fun Facts arrives to destroy whatever dignity this funny podcast had left.After wondering how their previous friend-of-the-show with enhancement surgery is recovering, Rizz brings in the much darker story of an influencer who died following a cosmetic penile enhancement procedure in Bangkok. According to the story discussed on the show, the 43-year-old underwent injections intended to increase his girth before developing severe chest pain and collapsing. The crew breaks down what reportedly went wrong, the inherent risks of cosmetic procedures and the unfortunate lesson that sometimes chasing “one last upgrade” is a catastrophically bad idea.This also gives Moon the opportunity to recall seeing what he believes were some truly spectacular cosmetic enhancements in the wild during a cruise. And yes, we're talking about butts now. There's apparently an Ozempic-related “big butt shortage,” Rafe would like everyone to support the cause, and the show briefly considers doing squats in tribute. This is technically health and wellness content if you lower your standards enough.Then we move from physical enhancements to another modern threat to relationships: your stupid phone.A marriage and family therapist's viral list of suspicious smartphone habits has the crew examining the little behaviors that can make your partner wonder what exactly you're hiding. Secret passwords? Phone suddenly face-down when your partner enters? Hiding the device? Changing passcodes without mentioning it? Angling your screen away like you're protecting classified intelligence? Congratulations, you've turned checking Instagram into an episode of Dateline.Lern actually has a legitimate excuse for acting shady around Tim: she was secretly planning his birthday bridge surprise and nearly blew the whole thing when a Marco Polo message started playing while Tim walked into the room. Unfortunately, “I promise I'm hiding something GOOD from you” isn't traditionally the sentence that restores confidence in a relationship.Moon then remembers a touring buddy who apparently forgot to mention one extremely important detail while enjoying Singapore: he was engaged. That omission became significantly more problematic when the tour manager later called him, immediately started discussing his overseas adventures…and discovered the guy's fiancée was sitting beside him on speakerphone.That marriage did not happen. Weird.From privacy screens to password changes, sudden defensiveness and treating your phone like it requires top-secret clearance, the crew reaches the obvious conclusion: smartphones aren't necessarily ruining relationships. Being a shady prick while holding one might be.AC/DC. Questionable enhancements. Giant butts. Secret birthday plans. Singapore disasters. And an alarming amount of discussion about which direction your phone is facing.It's another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show, proving once again that we can begin with one of the biggest rock bands on Earth and somehow arrive at relationship surveillance and inflatable body parts in under fourteen minutes.Come for the St. Louis rock talk. Stay for the relationship advice absolutely nobody requested from this funny podcast.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.

King Scott has officially welcomed a new Princess into the world, which means congratulations are in order—and, more importantly, it's time for a group of grown adults to argue over who won the baby pool.The show kicks off with the crew breaking down the new baby's arrival, the guesses for date, time and weight, and some accounting so questionable that everyone should probably just agree Scott won because he got an actual human being out of the deal. Welcome back to another perfectly functional daily comedy show.Rizz is also back after an unexpectedly rough few days following Mohs surgery to remove basal cell carcinoma from underneath his eye. What he thought would be a relatively simple procedure turned into multiple rounds of cutting, repeated needles to the face, ten stitches and enough swelling to make an eye patch feel like a legitimate fashion choice. Naturally, the crew responds to this medical ordeal with the sensitivity and compassion you'd expect from them—which is almost none.And because apparently facial surgery wasn't stressful enough, Rizz also tells the story of getting a phone call from his 17-year-old son informing him that the family car had vanished from Francis Park during the Gateway Cup. Was it stolen? Impounded? Gone forever on a holiday weekend? Nope. In one of the strangest happy endings possible, authorities had apparently moved and re-parked the cars along the race route. Thankfully, a tracker led them back to the vehicle, proving once again that technology exists primarily to prevent dads from completely losing their minds.Then we head deeper into St. Louis chaos. The crew talks about local restaurant closings, the Heavy Anchor getting hit by a car, community support for the venue, Venmo weirdos asking people for money and the Bevo-area street takeover involving a stolen vehicle that ended up on fire. Just your standard relaxing holiday weekend in STL.Things get surprisingly wholesome when Lern reveals her birthday surprise for Mono Tim: an actual bridge dedicated in his honor. Yes, Mono Tim has a bridge now. No, the rest of us have accomplished nothing. The touching story immediately becomes less touching when Rafe starts considering whether the property could eventually host a Viking funeral for his beloved Jeep. This is why we can't have one nice segment.Rafe also takes us inside his attempt to buy a Frame-style TV from a brick-and-mortar store, where finding an employee interested in selling him a television becomes an endurance event. He arrives ready to spend money and somehow leaves with existential questions about television speakers, mounting hardware and whether customer service is now an escape room.Finally, football season means the Pick 'Em Challenge is back—and the punishments are getting an upgrade. Forget repeating the same punishment all season. This year, the wheel could deliver barefoot days around the station, cat food or anchovies under your car seat, oven mitts for an entire show and plenty of other ideas designed to make losing football picks everybody else's entertainment.A new baby. A stitched-up face. A mysteriously relocated car. Mono Tim's bridge. A possible Viking funeral. Retail despair. And punishments created by people who clearly cannot be trusted with authority.It's another daily comedy show from The Rizzuto Show, where a normal Tuesday somehow requires more plot development than most television seasons. If you enjoy funny stories, St. Louis insanity, sarcastic humor and a daily comedy show that can turn a baby announcement into gambling results within minutes, 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.

Strap in, preferably without requiring five rolls of duct tape, because Episode 101 starts with rock 'n' roll dreams and somehow ends up debating an island nobody wants featured in the tourism brochure.Lern is heading to AC/DC with her mom, the Foo Fighters are opening, and she has one very specific prediction: Dave Grohl is going to come back out and perform with AC/DC. Why? Inside information? A secret source? Years of carefully studying concert history? Nope. She had a dream about it. Welcome to the comedy podcast where subconscious visions are apparently acceptable journalism.With St. Louis preparing for the massive show, the crew gets into ticket prices, parking chaos and just how much people will spend to see legendary artists. That leads to the absolutely bonkers money surrounding Alan Jackson's farewell show and George Strait drawing more than 100,000 ticket-buying fans. Turns out being the King of Country is a pretty solid business model.Then we board an airplane, where everything immediately gets worse.The crew discovers the spectacular image of an unruly first-class passenger who reportedly became abusive toward people onboard and eventually got restrained by fellow passengers with zip ties and enough duct tape to make the hardware aisle nervous. The resulting photo is art. Horrible, chaotic, “how did your vacation get here?” art.Unfortunately, the airline conversation takes a much darker turn with the story surrounding longtime Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton. According to the details discussed on the show, another passenger noticed disturbing messages on his laptop during a flight, photographed the screen and alerted the crew. That kicks off a larger conversation about privacy on airplanes, whether anybody actually pays attention to what strangers are doing beside them and Rafe accidentally becoming emotionally invested in another passenger's giant-font family text drama.Then another disturbing story hits much closer to home as the show discusses the arrest of a St. Charles-area middle school assistant principal on a child sexual abuse material charge. The allegations lead into a serious conversation about predators, how technology may make them easier to uncover, whether these cases were historically hidden or handled differently, and the terrifying responsibility of keeping kids safe around adults placed in positions of trust.Naturally, because this is The Rizzuto Show and apparently we cannot process anything normally, the conversation eventually circles back to the previously discussed concept of “Pedophile Island”: convicted predators, one island, everybody else gets to stay very far away. Is this a carefully researched criminal justice proposal? Absolutely not. Is the brainstorming department nevertheless open for business? Unfortunately, yes.Crap on Celebrity then attempts to restore some sanity and immediately fails. Beyoncé has anniversary merchandise that includes a wildly expensive wooden box. Kelly Osbourne discusses the devastating effect losing Ozzy had on her health. Alex Van Halen and Sammy Hagar are still feuding because apparently retirement-age rock stars are contractually forbidden from simply muting each other. The crew also digs into Soundgarden working with unreleased Chris Cornell vocals and the emotional challenge of creating something new while protecting a friend's legacy.Moon remembers Every Time I Die guitarist and wrestler Andy Williams following his death, sharing personal memories of a guy he knew for years as an overwhelmingly positive force. Rafe also reflects on losing comedian Danny Maupin, turning the show briefly and genuinely reflective before everybody inevitably wanders back toward entertainment chaos.There's also talk about the Michael Jackson biopic, Pamela Anderson, an extremely bizarre-looking Elizabeth Holmes documentary involving Nathan Fielder, Rob Lowe's alleged Tom Cruise rivalry, the search for the next James Bond and Carrie Underwood attempting Limp Bizkit's “Break Stuff.”AC/DC. Foo Fighters. Duct tape. Airplane snooping. Celebrity insanity. Serious conversations, terrible solutions and several moments where everyone involved probably should have reconsidered owning a microphone.Just another comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show.Come for the St. Louis entertainment talk, stay because this comedy podcast has somehow turned “don't make the flight attendants get the duct tape” into legitimate travel advice.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.

King Scott has a new baby, Rizz has ten stitches in his face, AC/DC has basically taken over St. Louis, and somewhere along the way a guy gets duct-taped to an airplane seat. So yeah, pretty normal day around here.The show kicks off with some genuinely great news: King Scott and Allison welcomed their new baby girl! Naturally, instead of simply congratulating the happy family like emotionally mature adults, the crew immediately starts calculating who won the baby pool. Date, time, weight—we're crunching numbers like ESPN analysts covering the birth of an eight-pound free agent.Rizz is also back after Mohs surgery to remove basal cell carcinoma from underneath his eye, and the procedure was a little more involved than expected. Multiple rounds of cutting, repeated needles directly into an extremely sensitive part of his face, ten stitches and enough swelling to make his return to work look like the aftermath of an underground fight club. He also addresses the listener who thought he was taking too many days off, because apparently “having cancer cut out of my face” still requires a note for some people.Then St. Louis enters the chat. Rizz tells the bizarre story of his family's car disappearing during the Gateway Cup, only to discover it hadn't been stolen or impounded—it had simply been relocated several blocks away. We also get into local restaurant closings, the Heavy Anchor getting hit by a car, community support for the venue and a Bevo-area street takeover involving a stolen vehicle and fire. STL really knows how to make a holiday weekend relaxing.Things get unexpectedly wholesome when Lern reveals her birthday surprise for Mono Tim: she actually had a bridge named after him. A real bridge. With a plaque. Tim was blown away, everyone gets emotional for approximately eleven seconds, and then Rafe starts discussing whether the property would be an appropriate location to give his Jeep a Viking funeral. That is basically the emotional range of this comedy podcast.Meanwhile, AC/DC fever has completely taken over St. Louis. The AC/DC pop-up at Ballpark Village is packed, Foo Fighters are opening at the Dome and Lern is convinced Dave Grohl might come back out to perform with AC/DC because she had a dream about it. We're not saying dreams are a reliable source, but they're at least cheaper than concert tickets.The concert conversation spirals into some absolutely insane ticket prices and the biggest single-night concert grosses ever, before the show discovers another kind of travel nightmare: an unruly airline passenger who reportedly became so disruptive that fellow passengers restrained him with zip ties and enough duct tape to qualify as home improvement contractors.That leads into a much darker airline story involving longtime Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton and disturbing online messages another passenger allegedly spotted on his laptop. The crew debates whether they'd ever notice what somebody else was doing on a plane, how much privacy anyone really has anymore and whether the person looking over your shoulder is being nosy—or potentially stopping something much worse.A disturbing local story involving a St. Charles-area middle school assistant principal charged with possession of child sexual abuse material leads to a serious conversation about predators, technology, accountability and protecting kids. It also brings back the crew's wildly unofficial “Pedophile Island” proposal, which remains less of a criminal justice policy and more of a reason nobody should ever invite us to testify before Congress.And speaking of privacy, smartphones may be destroying your relationship—or maybe you're just acting incredibly shady with one. The crew runs through suspicious phone habits like suddenly changing passwords, flipping your screen face-down, angling it away from your partner and guarding the thing like it contains nuclear launch codes. Lern even admits she recently looked suspicious around Tim while secretly planning his bridge surprise, proving there is technically one wholesome explanation for acting like you're hiding an affair.Sexy Time Fun Facts somehow makes things even weirder with the tragic story of an influencer who died following a cosmetic penile enhancement procedure overseas. That launches a conversation about risky cosmetic procedures, enormous implants spotted in the wild, an alleged big-butt shortage and whether everybody should just start doing squats and leave well enough alone.Crap on Celebrity piles on with Beyoncé selling some wildly expensive anniversary merchandise, Kelly Osbourne opening up about grief after losing Ozzy, Sammy Hagar and Alex Van Halen continuing their senior-citizen rock feud, Soundgarden working with unreleased Chris Cornell vocals, and Moon remembering Every Time I Die guitarist and wrestler Andy Williams after his death.There's also the Michael Jackson biopic, Pamela Anderson, Nathan Fielder staring into the Elizabeth Holmes abyss, Rob Lowe's Tom Cruise rivalry, James Bond rumors and plenty more celebrity news before football season brings back another proud Rizzuto Show tradition: making the loser suffer.The Pick 'Em Challenge punishment wheel is back, with potential consequences including working barefoot, cat food or anchovies stinking up your car, oven mitts during the show and other ideas created by adults who technically remain employed.A new baby. Skin cancer surgery. A missing car. Mono Tim's bridge. AC/DC and Foo Fighters. Airplane duct tape. Phone paranoia. Questionable cosmetic decisions. Celebrity chaos and football punishments nobody asked for.It's another perfectly organized comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show, assuming your definition of “organized” is four people opening microphones and seeing which emergency happens first.Come for the St. Louis stories, entertainment gossip and daily humor.

Apparently, all it takes to make a normal morning completely fall apart is one Florida man, one unfortunate horse, several questionable bedtime habits, an expensive hobby or twelve, and a group of radio professionals who should probably know when to stop asking follow-up questions.Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where the news is already ridiculous before we get our grubby little hands on it.Things get moving with a Florida story involving a man, a horse named Raven, and behavior that forces Rafe to remind humanity of a very important rule: we do not have to have sex with everything. That seems like something adults shouldn't need explained, yet here we are. The whole disaster also inspires “Just Joe,” the imaginary product nobody asked for but everybody immediately understands. Congratulations to marketing. Please never make this real.From there, we discover another great way to destroy your dignity: hobbies.What starts as “I think I'll try fishing” becomes a garage full of equipment and a bank account begging for mercy. Guitar, golf, aquariums, classic cars, cycling, coffee, gaming, woodworking, bowling and disc golf all get thrown into the financial wood chipper as the gang debates which innocent-looking pastime turns into an expensive lifestyle the fastest. Somewhere, a guy with 11 bowling balls just felt personally attacked.Then we crawl into everybody's bedrooms—which sounds significantly worse than it is—for a breakdown of bedtime routines. Shower before bed? Brush your teeth? Journal? Read? Scroll your phone until your brain becomes soup? Sleep with the door open? Let the pets take over the mattress you technically paid for?We learn that Rizz can apparently postpone an argument until tomorrow and immediately go to sleep, which may qualify as either a superpower or psychopath behavior. Moon has to rethink his sacred nap schedule when the kids are home. Lern wisely refuses to bring her journal anywhere near these people. King Scott reads Nancy Drew aloud to his wife. Somehow, every new detail raises additional questions.And because this funny podcast refuses to remain in one lane for more than seven consecutive seconds, summer officially gets declared dead, Moon celebrates the closing of the swimming pool he barely uses yet still manages to resent, and the crew gets into the viral US Open mess involving a CEO snatching a tennis player's hat that was intended for a kid. Nothing says “successful businessman” quite like becoming internationally famous for fighting a child over free merchandise.It's daily comedy, weird news, ridiculous personal stories, St. Louis radio chaos and pop culture commentary held together by sarcasm and whatever caffeine was available before sunrise.Basically, another completely normal edition of The Rizzuto Show.If you're looking for a funny podcast featuring Rizz and the gang taking unusual news stories, everyday arguments, celebrity and entertainment chaos, listener feedback and their own questionable life choices far more seriously than necessary, you've found your people.We apologize in advance.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.

The 1st full Saturday slate of college football is here and Tim McKernan and Anthony Stalter are back in The Spread Zone breaking down their picks for the weekend.Anthony looks to bounce back after an 0-3 Week 0, while Tim comes in off a 2-1 week. Starting Thursday night, they look into Coach Prime's return to Atlanta, and how you can bet on Mizzou as they kick off the season against Arkansas Pine Bluffs. Plus, a showdown on the west coast as Oregon takes on Boise St., Kane Kiffin's LSU debut against Dabo Swinney's Clemson Tigers, Wisconsin and Notre Dame meeting at the not so frozen tundra of Lambeau Field, and more. Plus, does the expanded playoff change how bettors should approach massive spreads against overmatched opponents? And could a rough Week 1 loss already turn up the heat on Dabo Swinney at Clemson?LEGAL DISCLAIMERWe provide information about sports betting for entertainment purposes only.

Things start surprisingly deep when Lern talks about listening to Rafe's appearance on The HoneyDew, where he discussed difficult experiences from childhood and finding comedy in darker moments. He explains the idea of turning life's lowlights into highlights, everybody agrees that nobody escapes childhood completely unscathed, and for one fleeting moment this sounds like a mature conversation between emotionally intelligent adults.Then Moon asks what everyone puts in their coffee.So much for that.Turns out King Scott likes his coffee like he likes his women... According to former Starbucks professionals, black-coffee drinkers might enjoy torturing themselves, caramel macchiato fans barely want coffee at all, vanilla-latte people play it safe, Frappuccino drinkers are basically ordering milkshakes, matcha people might be doing it for the aesthetic, and macchiato drinkers know exactly what they want—and apparently want the barista to know that they know.Then Rafe introduces the concept of a “bro drive-thru” serving pre-workout instead of coffee, because apparently this funny podcast is also an incubator for business ideas nobody should finance.Speaking of decisions nobody should finance, Shake Shack has a limited-edition Reese's Peanut Butter Cup shake featuring vanilla custard, peanut butter, fudge, a crackable chocolate shell, whipped cream, Reese's cups and Reese's Pieces. The damage? A completely reasonable and emotionally stable 1,900 calories with 158 grams of sugar.That sends the crew spiraling into their own hall of fame of caloric atrocities. Moon remembers casually annihilating an entire package of Double Stuf Oreos during his gaming days—potentially somewhere around 2,700 to 3,500 calories. Lern admits she could take down an entire gooey butter cake. And suddenly everyone is remembering the beautiful years when metabolism was magic and nutritional labels were merely decorative stickers.From there, Domino's new Detroit-style pizza promotion sparks the important question our Founding Fathers were apparently too cowardly to answer: What belongs on the Mount Rushmore of fast food?McDonald's fries enter the conversation. So does the Wendy's Frosty, Taco Bell's spicy potato soft taco, the Frisco Melt, Lion's Choice, Dairy Queen onion rings, Rally's fries, Del Taco, Freddy's and more. Nobody reaches a universal consensus because democracy has failed once again.Things somehow become less appetizing when the crew discovers a Walgreens three-in-one product described as a douche, enema and water-bottle combination system. There are some household products where “multipurpose” is a selling point. This may not be one of them.The show then gets into a study suggesting men have a complicated relationship with dieting, including the idea that some men may respond better to “goals” and “challenges” than the word “diet.” Rafe offers his own theory after seeing wildly confident dudes criticize women online while looking, in his words, like a thumb melting into a suit. Poetry remains alive in St. Louis.And because the current calendar apparently isn't irritating enough, Moon brings up a viral proposal to replace our 12 months with five beautiful 73-day monstrosities: Jebruary, Maple, Jaugust, Socktober and Nissember. Is a 73-day Jaugust horrifying? Absolutely. Are we intrigued by Socktober? Unfortunately, yes.We also discover that plenty of Americans apparently aren't sure what Labor Day celebrates, leading to the much more useful Rizz Show explanation that it exists so all pregnant women can give birth on the same day. Please do not cite us in an academic paper.Then Tupac conspiracy content leads into a survey asking whether Americans believe they could successfully fake their own deaths. Younger adults are more confident. Older adults have apparently lived long enough to understand that the IRS, prescription refills and bill collectors are undefeated.Finally, a high-school football season gets canceled amid an investigation into alleged misconduct at a football camp, leaving Moon to read a phrase from the reports on morning radio enough times that everyone involved should probably receive hazard pay.Coffee psychology. Childhood trauma. Reese's shakes. Oreos. Fast-food Mount Rushmore. Dieting. Socktober. Labor Day. Fake deaths. High-school football chaos.That is Episode 101 of The Rizzuto Show—and somehow the funny podcast survived all of it.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
