We survived Snowpocalypse 2026, and honestly? We're not sure what learned more — our kids, our cars, or the ice-covered lakes behind Rizz's house.On this daily comedy podcast, The Rizzuto Show breaks down everything that happens when St. Louis shuts down for snow but nobody actually stays home. Roads are “fine,” side streets are chaos, drivers are going 18 mph out of fear of salt, and everyone suddenly claims they got 16 inches (spoiler: they didn't).Rizz brags about having the highway to himself, Lern avoids highways entirely for “peace,” and Moon learns that remote learning is basically a fake snow day loophole that somehow benefits the schools more than the kids. Meanwhile, Rizz's son drills into a frozen lake to test ice thickness like it's 1954, shovels driveways, and casually makes $100 — while his daughter sleeps until noon like a champion.This daily comedy podcast also tackles the important questions:Are parents still yelling at their kids to shovel? (Yes.)Is warming up your car actually necessary? (Mostly no.)Why does every snowstorm turn neighbors into snowblower-sharing maniacs?And who keeps exaggerating snowfall totals like it's a competition?Then things take a turn when the crew reacts to an internet meltdown involving someone who hid 100 tiny plastic ducks around their apartment to “test” their house cleaner. Is it genius? Is it psychotic? Is it the most passive-aggressive thing ever invented? The debate gets heated, suggestions get weird, and somehow topless duck-based cleaning businesses get pitched.There's also flamethrower regret, leaf blower snow removal hacks, scammy neighborhood kids who disappear with your money, EV battery anxiety, tire pressure panic, and a whole lot of parenting realizations that boil down to one truth: chore charts don't work — yelling does.If you love snow chaos, weird news, relatable parenting fails, and sarcastic St. Louis energy, this daily comedy podcast episode is for you.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow Hear The Rizz Show daily on 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MOSt. Louis residents dig out after winter stormShould you actually warm up your car in the extreme cold?

Roads close, fuel leaks, and everyone looks around for the team that can make the chaos stop. We sat down with Perry Beatty—a towing veteran turned hazmat innovator—to map the journey from $8 tows to rapid spill response, patents, and hands-on training that helps operators control scenes faster and safer. If you've ever wondered how a towing company can expand into environmental cleanup without losing focus, this story is your blueprint.Perry walks us through separating the hazmat business for cleaner liability and brand clarity, then turning existing trucking clients into a ready customer base. We dig into the moment speed became strategy: authorities needed rapid response, and towers already lived by the phone. That mindset powers everything—from blocking storm drains to vacuuming product and documenting cleanups for insurers. Perry also shares the origin of FlowStop, his inflatable, chemical-resistant drain plug that converts storm drains into temporary containment and keeps fuel out of creeks and ponds.Training takes center stage with a towing-specific approach to HAZWOPER and annual refreshers, plus a deep dive into cargo tank awareness. We cover grounding and bonding, safe transfer of Class 3 flammables, vapor control after offload, pick and lift points for uprighting, and why DOT data shows fuel hauler rollovers are far more common than most think. Perry's mobile simulators bring it to life with water-based drills, dome clamps, pressure transfer, and real-world tactics that translate to the roadside. We're teaming up for live classes in North Carolina and Alabama to blend hazmat procedure with recovery best practices so crews can handle both halves of a dangerous scene with confidence.If you lead a towing team, manage safety, or want to build a spill response arm that actually responds, this is a must-listen.

A Conversation About Infrastructure, Innovation, and Community Input The Shenandoah Valley's roadways are undergoing a massive transformation. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Ken Slack, Communications Specialist for VDOT's Staunton District, to discuss the ambitious construction projects reshaping how residents travel through the region. What emerged was a fascinating look at the complex planning, engineering challenges, and community collaboration required to modernize aging infrastructure. Tackling the 81 Corridor's Toughest Stretch The conversation began with one of the most challenging sections of Interstate 81: the Strasburg corridor between exits 296 and 300. This area stands out as one of the few places along the entire interstate—from the West Virginia line to Tennessee—that features a left-hand exit for southbound traffic. Ken explains that this unusual configuration, combined with the junction of two major interstates, creates significant safety and congestion issues. Currently, the project sits at approximately 25-30% completion, with about a year of construction already completed and two and a half years remaining. The scope involves widening four miles of interstate from two lanes to three in each direction, while simultaneously addressing critical infrastructure needs. Workers are replacing the southbound bridge over Cedar Creek at the Warren-Shenandoah County line and widening the southbound bridge over the CSX railway. However, bridge work presents unique challenges. As Ken points out, VDOT could build bridges much faster if they could simply close them to traffic. Instead, contractors must maintain two lanes in each direction during peak hours, relegating most construction work to nighttime and overnight hours. This careful choreography ensures traffic keeps flowing while progress continues beneath the surface. The Science Behind the Projects VDOT doesn't randomly select improvement projects based on complaint volume or accident counts. Instead, the agency relies on comprehensive data analysis and community engagement. The 2018 Interstate 81 Corridor Improvement Program study exemplifies this approach. Throughout that year, VDOT collected extensive traffic data, examining crash rates, crash severity, backup frequency, and person-hours of delay—what Ken jokingly calls "VDOT nerdism." Moreover, the agency conducted multiple public input sessions during spring, summer, and fall. These meetings served a dual purpose: presenting data-driven hotspot maps while gathering firsthand experiences from daily commuters and long-haul truckers. This collaborative approach identified 65 initial projects ranging from small-scale improvements like extending acceleration ramps to major widening initiatives now underway in Strasburg, Harrisonburg, and Winchester. Importantly, VDOT's planning doesn't stop with current projects. A 2025 study has already identified the next round of priorities, ensuring continuous improvement rather than simply completing the current list and moving on. Front Royal's South Street Gets Attention Meanwhile, in Front Royal, VDOT is addressing traffic flow issues along South Street near the Royal Plaza Shopping Center. The problem area centers on the intersection where Commerce Avenue meets South Street, particularly affecting drivers who turn right from Route 340 onto South Street and immediately need to turn left into the shopping center. The limited space creates backups that extend toward the main intersection, prompting VDOT to explore solutions. Should the entrance move to the next intersection? Can the current configuration be modified to improve safety and reduce congestion? These questions drove VDOT to hold a public hearing on January 14th at the Front Royal library. Ken emphasizes that VDOT brings plans that look good on paper but remain open to revision based on community feedback. Several dozen residents attended the meeting, expressing support for some elements while raising concerns about others. This input proves invaluable, as local residents often identify issues that traffic studies conducted on specific days might miss—like Janet's example of the radio station's Camping for Hunger event, which creates unique traffic patterns. Furthermore, VDOT must coordinate with property owners whose businesses depend on customer access. Changes to South Street directly impact how patrons reach the Royal Plaza Shopping Center, making collaboration with property owners essential to the project's success. A Bridge Too Big to Ignore Perhaps the most ambitious project on the horizon involves replacing the bridge over Interstate 81 near Winchester, where Millwood Avenue curves toward its intersection with Route 522. This aging structure, which has stood for at least 50 years, currently spans seven lanes. The replacement will accommodate nine lanes, creating what Ken describes as an "enormous" structure. The project actually combines two separate initiatives: improvements within Winchester city limits and the bridge replacement itself. VDOT assumed responsibility for both projects to ensure coordination and prevent conflicting work zones. By building the new bridge slightly to the north, contractors can maintain traffic flow during construction rather than narrowing the roadway to one lane in each direction—a scenario Ken jokes would have residents "running away from the pitchforks." This bridge exemplifies a broader challenge facing Interstate 81. Since most of the corridor was constructed between the late 1950s and 1960s, numerous bridges now range from 50 to 70 years old. While VDOT's vigorous maintenance program extends their lifespan, every bridge eventually requires replacement or significant rehabilitation. The agency evaluates each structure individually, determining whether full replacement or widening with superstructure rehabilitation makes more sense. Weather, Incentives, and Reality Construction timelines must account for weather impacts, particularly during multi-year projects spanning several winters. Ken acknowledges that major snowstorms or tropical systems can shut down work for a week or more. Nevertheless, VDOT has refined its contract documents over decades to accurately predict workable days throughout the year. Additionally, the agency builds incentives into contracts, particularly for projects with significant traffic impacts. The recently completed Rockland Road bridge project demonstrates this approach's success. The contractor finished ahead of schedule, earning maximum incentive payments. Ken notes that VDOT happily writes these checks because early completion benefits the entire community. Conversely, contracts also include penalties for late completion, creating a balanced system that motivates timely project delivery while accounting for legitimate weather delays. Keeping the Public Informed Throughout the conversation, Janet praised VDOT's website, which maintains detailed project pages for dozens of active initiatives. These pages track projects from early design stages through construction completion, providing timelines, cost projections, public hearing information, and opportunities for feedback. Ken explains that his team dedicates considerable effort to keeping these pages current. Residents can easily find relevant projects by searching "VDOT projects" and selecting the Staunton District, which covers Warren, Frederick, and surrounding counties. The site even includes construction photos showing progress over time. Janet shared her own experience using the website to research the Winchester bridge project after noticing construction activity. Within minutes, she found comprehensive information about plans and timelines, allowing her to plan alternative routes during future construction phases. Your Voice Matters Beyond the website, VDOT operates a 24/7 customer service center staffed by real people who typically answer within seconds. Ken dispels common misconceptions about endless hold times or automated systems. When residents report potholes, sight distance issues, or other concerns, the center generates work orders requiring action from appropriate teams. While not every reported issue results in immediate fixes—some investigations reveal no problem or explain why certain actions aren't feasible—every request receives attention and follow-up. VDOT even contacts property owners when vegetation or structures impede sight distance or extend into the right-of-way, working collaboratively to find solutions that ensure everyone's safety. Looking Ahead As the conversation concluded, both Janet and Ken acknowledged the uncertainty of winter weather—they were recording on a Tuesday afternoon with potential snow in the forecast for the following days. Yet this uncertainty mirrors the broader challenge of infrastructure improvement: balancing immediate needs with long-term planning, maintaining traffic flow during construction, and incorporating community input into data-driven decisions. The projects discussed represent just a fraction of VDOT's ongoing work across the Shenandoah Valley. From the complex Interstate 81 widening near Strasburg to the South Street improvements in Front Royal and the massive bridge replacement near Winchester, these initiatives share common threads: careful planning, public engagement, and commitment to improving safety and reducing congestion. For Valley residents, these projects mean temporary inconvenience in exchange for long-term benefits. The key lies in staying informed through VDOT's project pages, participating in public hearings, and understanding that today's construction zones become tomorrow's safer, more efficient roadways. As Ken reminds listeners, VDOT isn't just completing a checklist—they're continuously identifying and addressing the next generation of infrastructure needs, ensuring the Valley's roads serve the community for decades to come.

As recovery work continues in Mount Maunganui, the east cape is also facing a massive clean-up. Te Araroa looks like a waste land, pocked with muddy ruts and woody debris everywhere. The small settlement, Onepoto, and Wharekahika have been hit hard. Parts of State Highway 35 around the coast remain closed or restricted. Te Araroa incident management team leader and resident Trudi Ngawhare spoke to Lisa Owen.

Dozens of students on the East Cape are cut off from their Hicks Bay kura after extreme weather's closed vital roads in the area. Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Kawakawa mai Tawhiti is due to open tomorrow, but various road closures along State Highway 35 have cut off some communities. School tumuaki principal Campbell Dewes home is cut off and he can't reach the school by road. His whanau aren't the only ones isolated and he is working on a plan for the kura. Campbell Dewes spoke to Lisa Owen.

There is still a huge amount of clean up to do on roads around the upper North Island following last week's severe weather. Slips and flooding damaged major roads in Thames, Coromandel, Bay of Plenty and the East cape. In Gisborne entire hillsides collapsed, bringing forestry and native bush down onto roads. Convoys have made it through State Highway 35 at the top of the east coast, but it could be several weeks before State Highway two between Gisborne and Bay of Plenty reopens. NZTA's Mark Owen spoke to Lisa Owen.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Kentuckians took to the roads—not just to travel, but to protest. In this episode, we explore the dramatic and often violent events of the Toll-Gate Wars, a grassroots movement against private toll road companies that charged travelers fees to use public routes. https://linktr.ee/Kyhistorypod

The plans are in place for a global war encompassing the United States, Russia, China, Iran, and Israel. Palantir's Alex Karp guarantees it. Right on schedule we are being told that Osama Bin Laden's son is planning terrorists attacks in the U.S. on hospitals by pretending to be doctors. The narrative is already established that Muslims want to burn down all Christian churches. But who blows up hospitals and churches, and who dresses like someone else to do it on occasion? It isn't the Muslim. Furthermore, who just labeled Christianity as a hate group? The ADL, not the Muslim brotherhood. The stage is set and plan in place to the next 911 as not merely a trigger for war but as a justification for the forced acceptance of the digital global ID run by Oracle and OpenAI among others. On this special Friday edition of the show, we watch and listen to a short mockumentary from 2008 called The Orion Conspiracy. The film is a briefing of important officials on issues such as UFOs, giant bones, pyramids, psychic powers, occultism, and even 9/11. Its purpose was to show how gullible people are; and it worked far beyond what the director intended to be more of a joke. Countless laughably fake images from the film have been shared at conferences, in documentaries, on television, etc. The most famous by far is an image of a UFO crashed in the ice of Antarctica.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of January 23rd Publish Date: January 23rd   Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast  Today is Friday, January 23rd and Happy Birthday to Earl Falconer I’m Chris Culwell and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Former Cherokee County Probate Court judge retires New Kilwin's store opens at The Mill on Etowah in Canton Cherokee County school board member won’t seek reelection Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on breads We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  Commercial: INGLES 2 STORY 1: Former Cherokee County Probate Court judge retires After 50 years in the legal world, Kipling “Kip” McVay has officially retired, closing the book on a career that spanned everything from title research to serving as Cherokee County’s probate judge. Her last day? December 4, 2025, when Governor Brian Kemp accepted her resignation. McVay’s career began in 1973, digging into title research at Sen. Sam Nunn’s old law firm. From there, she wore countless hats: prosecutor, trial attorney, ethics commission director, private practice owner, and eventually, Cherokee County’s first female probate judge. Oh, and she also became the first woman to conduct a jury trial in the county. Her time as probate judge (1997–2008) was transformative. She modernized the office, introduced mediation to resolve family disputes, and even handpicked her successor, Keith Wood, who’s still serving today. After stepping down as probate judge, McVay wasn’t done. She served as a senior judge for Georgia’s Probate Courts, taking on cases across the state—sometimes for years at a time. One particularly messy case involved an estate with no will, feuding heirs, and years of unresolved disputes. Now retired, McVay has traded courtrooms for family time and volunteering at Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, where she moved in 2020. “It’s been a good run,” she said, “but I’m enjoying this new chapter.” STORY 2: New Kilwin's store opens at The Mill on Etowah in Canton Canton just got a little sweeter—Kilwin’s is now open at The Mill on Etowah, serving up chocolate, fudge, and over 30 flavors of ice cream. The shop, which opened Dec. 18, sits next to Rock N Roll Sushi and shares a building with Campania. Franchisee Mona Rathore, who also owns the downtown Woodstock location, said Canton was the perfect spot. “We wanted to create a family-friendly space where people could enjoy our sweets. The Mill felt like the heart of the community—it just made sense.” Kilwin’s menu is a sugar lover’s dream: hand-dipped caramel apples (made fresh in-store), creamy fudge, specialty chocolates, and, of course, their famous ice cream. So far, the response has been incredible. “We love seeing families stop by after dinner,” Rathore said. “Even though we’re a franchise, we feel like a local business. We live, shop, and eat here—it’s home.” Kilwin’s Canton is open daily from noon to 8 p.m., with extended hours coming this summer. Online ordering and delivery through DoorDash and Uber Eats are on the way, too. STORY 3: Cherokee County school board member won’t seek reelection  Cherokee County School Board Member Susan Padgett-Harrison is calling it a career. After decades in education and public service, she’s announced she’ll retire at the end of the year and won’t seek another term. Padgett-Harrison’s career spans 29 years as a teacher, principal, and district leader before joining the board in 2023. During her tenure, CCSD’s state “report card” score hit a record 87, and the district climbed from 21st to 8th in state rankings. She’s proud of the progress: lower debt, expanded career programs, and rising AP scores. Three other board seats (Districts 3, 4, and 5) are also up for grabs this year, with elections set for May 19 and Nov. 3. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

And this one? It was a nail-biter. The Grizzlies edged out South Effingham 36-35 in the final, capping off a perfect 4-0 run at Legacy Arena in Douglasville. Wins over Habersham Central, Villa Rica, and Dunwoody set the stage, but the finale? That was something else. Down 35-6 with five matches left, Creekview pulled off the unthinkable: five straight pins. Aaron Campbell, Pierce Marsh, Weston Wilkie, Logan Pritchett, and Costen Wright stepped up, with Wright sealing the deal at 175 pounds. Even a loss at 132 pounds by Bo Richardson turned out to be crucial, saving a team point that made the difference. South Effingham was no pushover—they’d dominated all tournament long, just like Creekview. But the Grizzlies weren’t about to let this one slip. With the traditional tournament still ahead, Creekview’s not done yet. BRAVES: Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones are headed to Cooperstown, two center fielders who dominated their eras with a mix of power, speed, and jaw-dropping defense. Born just a day apart in April 1977, they’ll now share the stage at the Hall of Fame induction on July 26. Beltrán, in his fourth year on the ballot, finally crossed the 75% threshold, earning 84.2% of the vote. Jones, in his ninth year, got 78.4%. Both had to climb uphill—Beltrán’s path clouded by the Astros’ sign-stealing scandal, Jones’ by a slow start in Hall voting (just 7.3% in 2018). Beltrán, a nine-time All-Star, hit .279 with 435 homers and 1,587 RBIs over 20 seasons. He was a postseason monster, batting .307 with 16 homers in 65 playoff games. “The Mets are a big part of my identity,” he said, though his career spanned stints with Kansas City, Houston, St. Louis, and others. Jones, meanwhile, was a defensive wizard, winning 10 Gold Gloves and smashing 434 homers. He’s now the sixth Braves legend from their 1990s dynasty to make the Hall, joining Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, Chipper, and McGriff. STORY 5: Winter storm watch issued for Cherokee County this weekend  Brace yourselves, north Georgia—winter’s about to get messy. The National Weather Service says a storm is rolling in this weekend, and Cherokee County is under a winter storm watch from 1 a.m. Saturday to 10 a.m. Monday. South of Cherokee? No watch, but don’t get too comfortable. Here’s the deal: expect freezing rain, sleet, and maybe some snow. Saturday starts with rain, but by nightfall, temps drop to 27, and things get icy—literally. Sunday? More freezing rain, highs around 34, and a low of 17. Power outages? Likely. Roads? Treacherous. If you must travel, pack a winter kit—blankets, water, flashlight, the works. And don’t forget to protect your pets, plants, and pipes. Need shelter? MUST Ministries’ warming center on Bells Ferry Road opens Saturday, serving dinner at 5 p.m. Stay safe, stay warm, and keep an eye on updates.

China has been on a generational run since it was granted admission to the World Trade Organization at the beginning of the century. Though its infrastructure investments ran in the trillions of dollars, the Chinese GDP increased 10% every year for 15 years, all while producing 1,600 high-rises, 45,000 kilometers of high-speed rail, and hundreds of airports.The contrast with America is stark. Roads, ports, rail, and airports inside the United States are all falling apart, with the bloated, $128 billion, high-speed train to nowhere stalling out in California. Meanwhile, China has evolved into maglev trains and thorium-powered cargo ships for the new Belt and Road Initiative.—Watch the video version on one of the Macroaggressions Channels:Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcast—MACRO & Charlie Robinson LinksHypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwmsThe Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMmWebsite: www.Macroaggressions.io Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast—Activist Post FamilySign up for the Activist Post Newsletter: https://activistpost.kit.com/emailsActivist Post: www.ActivistPost.com Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com —Support Our SponsorsAnarchapulco: https://anarchapulco.com/ | Promo Code: MACROC60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://macroaggressions.gold/ | (800) 426-1836LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACROGround Luxe Grounding Mats: https://groundluxe.com/MACRO Christian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACROThe Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471 Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO —

Send us a textA winter storm is closing in, and we're pulling back the curtain on how Montgomery County keeps people moving when snow stacks up and temperatures plunge. With Storm Operations Center manager Tim Serano, we walk through the real plan: early weather briefings, staffing and contractor call-ups, and why brining primaries and feeders changes the game before the first flake lands.You'll hear how a 23 percent salt brine creates a thin barrier that prevents snow from bonding to pavement, making plowing faster and cleaner. We talk through the order of operations during an active storm, why crews may cycle on arterials before shifting into neighborhoods, and how jurisdiction lines matter—state-numbered routes and city streets like Rockville and Gaithersburg have their own teams. Safety stays front and center: giving plows room, avoiding abrupt moves around spreaders, and planning trips with updated timelines.We also spotlight the county's snow portal at montgomerycountymd.gov/snow, If this was useful, follow the show, share it with a neighbor, and leave a quick review so more residents can stay storm-ready.

The path of God for our lives is straight and true, but the road we travel along the way is not! There are hills, sudden drops, valleys, deserts, detours and roadblocks along the way. But for those who put their TRUST in the LORD - the path of God will always prevail over the winding roads of life. -----Official WebsiteInstagramTwitterFacebook

Documentary filmmaker and editor J.M. Harper discusses Soul Patrol, his six-year journey telling the story of the first Black special operations unit in Vietnam. What began with reading Eddie Manuel's book grew into years of weekly conversations, slow trust-building, and eventual access to never-before-seen Super 8 footage and photographs shot by the soldiers themselves. Harper also reflects on how his work editing Jeen‑Yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy sharpened his instincts around character, structure, and letting footage reveal meaning over time.We talk about point of view and theme as the engine of a film, not ideas layered on afterward. Harper frames Soul Patrol around a central question: whether speaking openly about acts committed in war, long buried and rarely acknowledged, can offer any form of healing. Drawing on Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan, he discusses how cinema can confront violence without glamorizing it, and the ethical tension of rendering horrific experiences with clarity, restraint, and intention.He reflects on editing as discovery, assembling a team of editors with different strengths, and shaping a film that moves between memory, present-day reckoning, and historical record.What Movies Are You Watching?This episode is brought to you by BeastGrip.
